Q: stream adapters and backing store streams We know that backing store streams such as FileStream deal exclusively in bytes, therefore we need stream adapters to wrap backing store streams.
so let's say we use a StreamReader as:
// the data.txt only contains 3 chars in one line
using (StreamReader r = File.OpenText("data.txt"))
{
string input = null;
while ((input = r.ReadLine()) != null)
{
...
}
}
Can I say even though the StreamReader r only issues ReadLine() once, underlying there is a FileStream xxx(wrapped by StreamReader ) issues ReadByte() 3 times?
A: In short, no: neither StreamReader nor FileStream call ReadByte() repeatedly. They do, however call Read(Byte[], Int32, Int32), which returns a number of bytes rather than a single byte at a time.
This is about as deep as it gets within C#, as it eventually gets routed into a call to Kernel32's ReadFile, whose signature looks like this:
BOOL ReadFile(
HANDLE hFile,
LPVOID lpBuffer,
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead,
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesRead,
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped
);
To verify this, we can start the journey at StreamReader's ReadLine method:
*
*ReadLine() calls StreamReader's ReadBuffer()
*ReadBuffer() calls the Stream's Read(Byte[], Int32, Int32) method, which given how File.OpenText(...) creates the StreamReader is a FileStream.
*FileStream's Read(...) method calls FileStream's ReadCore(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count) method.
*ReadCore(...) calls FileStream's int ReadFileNative(SafeFileHandle handle, byte[] bytes, int offset, int count, NativeOverlapped* overlapped, out int hr) method.
*ReadFileNative(...) calls the static int ReadFile(SafeFileHandle handle, byte* bytes, int numBytesToRead, IntPtr numBytesRead_mustBeZero, NativeOverlapped* overlapped) method of Win32Native.
*Win32Native's ReadFile(...) method calls out to Kernel32.dll.
Note: This is from looking at the .NET Framework code. Presumably the .NET Core code is equivalent, but not exactly the same.

After World War 2, the European Union formed in an effort to create a stable economic and political partnership between European countries.
Since the EU's creation, it has evolved into an economic-political union that allows members in 28 countries to move around freely, goods to trade more easily and for common rules to be set in a formal process.
Although many Europeans feel the EU provides clear benefits to participating members, not everyone agrees. In fact, recent polls show that the United Kingdom's citizens are pretty evenly split on whether or not being a member of the EU is in their best interest.
Some, like UK's Independence Party and the Conservative Members of Parliament, feel that the UK would be better off on its own. In the last week, the idea of exiting the EU has gained so much attention the term "Brexit" is currently trending — coined from a combination of the words "Britain" and "exit".
And since the British public has not had a say in the matter since 1975, it seems only fair that Prime Minister David Cameron grant the British public the opportunity to make that decision on their own.
This Thursday, June 23, a referendum is being held to decide whether the United Kingdom should remain a member of the EU or leave the EU.
Any British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens over the age of 18 and who are residents in the UK, as well as some UK nationals living abroad, will be able to vote either "yes" or "no" to the question: Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?
Vote counting will begin after the polls close at 22:00 GMT Thursday. All votes will be tallied up, and the side with the majority of votes will win.
Read more about UK's EU referendum from BBC here.
What do you think? Should the UK remain in the EU or should the UK leave the EU? Let us know in the poll below.
Will Disagreements Over Immigration Push Britain Out of the European Union?

your current prescription. I keep mine in medical file in my filing cabinet. If you can't find your prescription, visit wherever you last had your eyes examined and ask for a copy. Your optician, optometrist, or ophthalmologist is required by law to release your eyewear prescription to you. You now need to make note of a few critical bits of information from your prescription (see example above–click to enlarge). Among other information, you should see three columns on your prescription–sphere, cylinder, and axis.
Inside the example prescription above, you'll see the Pupillary Distance of the patient is 62. Jot down this number also, it is the seventh of your seven critical volumes.
A relatively less critical number is your temple span. If you're blessed, you'll also see a temple span and bridge size in your prescription. If not, don't sweating it, you can amount it out yourself. The temple duration describes the space of the two bars that connect the spectacles to your ears. It is measured from where in fact the 90-level curve from your zoom lens structure to the side bars (temples) begins to the very end of the temple, like the curve. It is not measured from the flex point of the temples, because the "stub" between your flex point and zoom lens structure is not really a standard size.
Now, remove some measuring tape (preferably the type of tape used for fitted clothes and sewing, as it is very flexible) and assess an existing couple of glasses that fit pleasantly. The average temple length for men is 135mm or 145mm. For females, 130mm to 140mm is standard. In case your tape only has inches, measure to the nearest eighth or sixteenth and multiply that number by 25.4 to obtain the dimension in millimeters. Temple lengths are usually available in 5mm increments, such as 130, 135, 140, 145, etc. At most online glasses stores, temple length is shown within the frame description and is also not customizable. Therefore, you will need to discover a frame with an appropriate temple size. This occasionally varies if you are at a site specializing in designer eyeglasses, where you have the choice to source your own temple size.
Honestly, temple size is not really a huge deal. I've one pair of spectacles with 135mm temples and another with 140mm temples. Both pairs fit easily. If for some reason you can't come up with a temple measurement, don't let that stop you from making an eyewear purchase online. Instead, simply choose 140mm temples if you are a man and 135mm temples if you are a female. Chances are, this size will fit pleasantly.

After her sell out exhibition in our Annex space last year, Lottie Consalvo presents her first major solo exhibition after living and creating in Berlin for two years.
The Life Exchange, an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, performance and new media is about the artist's relationship with life and death. Consalvo coexists in a time of grief and prosperity, where the line between life and death appears abstract and often blurred. Grief for the loss of her sister to suicide in late 2010 and prosperity, as she now approaches the birth of her first child. The works in this exhibition depict quite explicitly Consalvo's subconscious, and the exchange that is taking place in her life.

We all know that it is expensive to buy a new bike. It requires money, and making money requires hard work. But for me the hard work definitely worth it when I'm sitting on my delicious new bike, and there quicker at work or sports.
In this blog post I will tell how I could afford to buy a new bike, how to do the same, and how you can actually buy himself a nice bike, even if you do not have much money. Let's go!
Keep in mind that it is always an opportunity to take in recycling. You've probably heard this proposal before, and you may not be much to buy a used bike. The truth is just that you can get a really cool bike to recyclers, and if you are clever, you can easily fix the bike and make it as good as new. Sometimes it's well worth it to take in recycling, buying a new bike, take it down to the bike shop, and you're running.
Another opportunity to buy a used bike is of course also DBA.dk . Here you can find a lot of cool bikes to fine rates, but beware you do not get stolen by buying a bike that has been stolen. To prevent this by requiring a purchase receipt from the time the bicycle was purchased. Decide that if the person can not provide a purchase receipt, you do not buy the bike. It's that easy.
Another possibility is also police auctions. At these auctions you can buy bikes that have been stolen, but you have not been able to find back to own men. That's as far as I know the police are behind this initiative, and it is recommended to try at least once. You can really buy a fat bike here, which is almost as good as new.
Another option is to take a loan. You can either take a bank loan, a consumer loan or a payday loan. I recommend bank loans, but if you want something quick, easy and simple, so can a consumer loan or a payday loan is highly recommended. Here we recommend Modus Finance , as we know many who have used loans of money. It works extremely well, but keep in mind that one day you will repay the borrowed money.
Have a nice day everyone! See you again next week when we have another exciting post for you.

To peruse the collection of Vladimir Tsarenkov is to run out of superlatives. The statistics are blinding: more than 3,000 works, ranging from Greco-Roman art through Islamic metalwork to contemporary Iranian. But perhaps his finest pieces hail from the revolutionary era of his native country, Russia. As well as paintings, sculptures and works on paper by Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Constructivist pioneer Vladimir Stenberg and Kazimir Malevich, he also possesses over 700 works of Suprematist porcelain, 100 of them designed by Malevich.
No bald rundown of names and numbers can convey the thrill of seeing these works, as I did, in Tsarenkov's own home. However, at Frieze Masters next week, a selection of his porcelain and sculpture will go on show at the Sophia Contemporary Gallery in Collections, the section of the fair curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal. Alongside Tsarenkov's pieces, the gallery — which is co-owned by Tsarenkov's son, Vassili — will show paintings by US abstract artist Robert Kelly, whose geometric style was influenced by Russian Constructivism.

The fund manager has taken a line of credit of HK$40 million from Wynn, and he had paid down to about HK$33 million before Wynn sued him, Wynn's attorney said.
In the Wynn case against the Malaysian fund manager, the casino's lawyers said they weren't seeking dues from a wagering contract but from a credit agreement that the Malaysian had failed to honor.
Malaysian judge on Friday ruled in favor of Wynn Macau (1128.HK) in a case against a fund manager who owed the casino millions of dollars, the company's lawyer said, the first time a casino has been allowed to recover dues in the country.
Wagering or gaming contracts are not recognized in Malaysia, which means casinos do not have legal recourse for the gambling dues owed to them by its clients.
But in the Wynn case against the Malaysian fund manager, the casino's lawyers said they weren't seeking dues from a wagering contract but from a credit agreement that the Malaysian had failed to honor.
Poh took a line of credit of HK$40 million from Wynn, and he had paid down to about HK$33 million before Wynn sued him, Vincent Law, Wynn's attorney said.
Judge S. Nantha Balan ruled in chambers on Friday that Poh will have to pay the outstanding amount of HK$33 million plus interest to Wynn.

Since the release of his breakout hit "Regis Chillbin" last year, Eprom has made a name for himself producing frantic dance tunes that aren't beholden to any one tempo or frame of reference. They're loud, garish and eccentric, straying from the populist strands of house and garage that dominate the underground. The West Coast representative's latest entry comes in the form of a remix of Rhye's "Woman". The remix sees Eprom at his most restrained, covering the original's wispy vocals in understated hi hats and a simple chord progression melody. It's simple and trance-inducing, far from the seizure-inducing sound of the Metahuman LP. Stream below and download here.

20 Healthy Processed Foods You Should Be Eating, According to Dietitians
Not all foods have to be "natural" to be nutritious.
By Isadora Baum
Rimma_BondarenkoGetty Images
Processed foods often get a bad rap as many of them are filled with sugar, sodium, and fat—but not all packaged noshes are created equal. While fresh, wholesome foods are always preferable, there are plenty of processed foods that are totally healthy, and you're missing out on their health-boosting nutrients and convenience if you decide to nix them from your diet.
The key is to read the nutrition and the ingredients labels carefully and look out for red flags, like added sugar, MSG, and unhealthy oils. Ideally, you want to eat packaged foods with minimal ingredients. For example, some store-bought breads have a generous amount of salt—more than you'd expect in a slice—and if you enjoy more than one, the sodium can quickly add up. That said, you can be smart about choosing the processed foods you buy. From bean pasta to sauces to veggie burgers, here are the convenience foods dietitians always keep stocked in their kitchen.

Frozen wild blueberries
It's a common misconception that prepping healthy meals means shopping only around the perimeter of the grocery store. But if you do that, you're missing out on many nutritious choices in the inner aisles, including the freezer section, where you'll find many high-fiber breads and frozen veggies and fruits.
"Frozen wild blueberries give us year-round access to these brain-protecting berries. They're picked at peak ripeness and their nutrient content is preserved better than fresh," says Maggie Moon, MS, RD, author, The MIND Diet. "Most of the brain health research on blueberries has been conducted on wild blueberries, which are concentrated flavorful bursts of antioxidants," she adds, so don't be afraid to dig into this packaged fruit. You may find that some frozen fruits are also cheaper than their fresh counterparts.

You won't find a bag of chia seeds in your produce aisle, but that doesn't mean it's any less deserving of a spot in your cart.
"Chia seeds are high in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and calcium, two important nutrients people don't get enough of. An ounce is also rich in fiber (11 grams)," says Moon. A 2019 study from the journal Lancet confirmed that eating 25 to 29 grams of fiber daily can help you live longer. You can add these to smoothies, yogurt or oatmeal bowls, or you can even make an overnight breakfast chia seed pudding.

Canned chickpeas
Canned beans are often loaded with salt to help preserve them, but you can offset this by rinsing the beans under water before adding them to your dish. Moon says doing this cuts sodium by 40 percent.
"For those nights when you just don't have it in you, canned beans are a lifesaver and a staple in my pantry. Chickpeas are one of my favorite plant proteins, and work especially well in Mediterranean- and Middle Eastern-inspired meals," says Moon. They're a plant-based protein that doubles as an excellent source of fiber, too.

Matcha green tea powder
People are adding matcha to their smoothies, cookies, and overnight oats, and for a good reason. Matcha is a powdered tea that derives from finely grinding whole green tea leaves, which means you're taking in the benefits from the entire leaf. You can find matcha powder in the tea and coffee aisle of your grocery store, and some health food stores might also carry it.
"All green tea has benefits for focus and memory, but matcha green tea powder leads to a greater concentration of the beneficial compounds in green tea," Moon says. A review of 49 human trials from the journal of Current Pharmaceutical Design suggests that phytochemicals like L-theanine and caffeine found in matcha improve mood, cognitive performance, and sharpness.
KarisssaGetty Images
Bean pastas
OK, so bean pasta might not be considered a whole food to some, but next to sliced whole-grain bread, it's one of the most nutritious packaged foods you can get. Bean pastas are higher in protein and fiber than traditional white noodles and even whole-grain varieties. Plus, they're gluten-free.
Moon's go-to is Banza's chickpea pasta, but there are other brands out there, like Explore Cuisine, Barilla, and Ancient Harvest, that feature beans and whole grains. "Banza chickpea pasta has a good texture and mouthfeel, making it a no-sacrifice swap for refined-grain pasta. Nutritionally, it has about twice the plant protein (25 grams) and more than four times the fiber (13 grams) of standard pasta," says Moon.
Today's veggie burgers are a far cry from the stale, chewy patties of the '90s. Thanks to brands like Dr. Praeger's plant-based burgers, you can have a delicious meatless meal on the table in minutes (all you need is a microwave).
"These flavorful, soy-free, gluten-free, plant-based veggie burgers are made with pea protein and boast an impressive 28 grams of protein per patty," says Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD. Look for them in the frozen aisle and add to a salad or bun to whip up a high-protein dinner in a snap.

Muesli cups
If you grew up eating cereal with milk as a kid, think of muesli as the grown-up version, except it's made with ancient grains, dried fruit, and nuts. Rizzo's favorite: Bob Red Mill's Muesli Cups. "Instead of eating sugary cereal in the morning, opt for a gluten-free, on-the-go muesli cup. They are a tasty, low-sugar (less than 9 grams) breakfast that'll satisfy your sweet craving," she says.
4kodiakGetty Images
Certain granola bars are totally good for you, even though they're technically processed. The key is to find bars that are lower in sugar, ideally around 5 grams.
If you're craving some dark chocolate, try KIND's chocolate nuts and sea salt bar, says Rizzo. "Not only does it satisfy the craving, but it adds some protein and healthy fats to you diet without much added sugar. When you snack on one, you'll be getting 7 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein, which will keep you satisfied until your next meal," she says.
HandmadePicturesGetty Images
Who says chocolate milk is just for kids? In fact, many dietitians recommend chocolate milk as a post-workout snack because it has the perfect ratio of carbs and protein. Plus, it's a rewarding treat after a tough sweat sesh.
"Chocolate milk isn't only for kids; it's actually a great recovery drink for active people. The 3:1 carb to protein ratio in chocolate milk has been studied extensively and has been found to help tired muscles recover and prevent muscle soreness," Rizzo says.
Rizzo loves Horizon's single-serve chocolate milk for portion control and nutrition. Instead of opting for an expensive protein shake after a workout, try a glass of chocolate milk.

Buying canned pumpkin puree will make your life a whole lot easier when you want to enjoy the festive gourd. Just be sure you're buying 100 percent canned pumpkin puree and not a canned pumpkin pie mix that includes sugar and other ingredients.
"I love using pumpkin to add moisture and sweetness to baked goods or flavor soups and casseroles, but buying, peeling, chopping and roasting a pumpkin is a pain in the butt. Instead, I buy Libby's canned pumpkin, which is made with 100 percent pumpkin and no additives or sweeteners," says Rizzo. It's also a great source of vitamin A and antioxidants, she says. Try these delicious pumpkin recipes.

Olive oil is considered "processed" because it's quite literally the oil expressed from an olive. But it's one of the healthiest and most flavorful oils you can enjoy. Since it's calorie-dense, be sure to stick to one tablespoon.
"That said, it's one of the healthiest oils around, due to its high concentration of unsaturated fat," says Rizzo. "Not only is olive oil part of the Mediterranean Diet, which was ranked the #1 diet of the year, but a multitude of research has linked it to lowering your risk of heart disease," she adds.
MizinaGetty Images
Tofu is made from the curds of soybeans and is an excellent source of plant-based protein. "For vegetarians, vegans or even those trying to eat less meat, tofu is a great option. Tofu has 9 grams of protein in just 3 ounces, and it's rich in calcium," says Rizzo, who recommends Nasoya brand. It's also super affordable and versatile, taking on the flavors of basically any marinade.

"Plain Greek yogurt undergoes some processing after the cow is milked but that does not mean it is not a healthy choice! Greek yogurt is packed with protein to help keep you full," says Summer Yule, MS, RDN.
It also contains probiotics that benefit gut health, as well as calcium and riboflavin, Yule notes. Choose the plain varieties to avoid added sugar.

Oysters packed in olive oil
If you love oysters but hate the painstaking process of shucking them, look no further than canned oysters packed in olive oil.
"Oysters packed in olive oil are another processed health-promoting food that I would highly recommend. Tinned oysters are far less expensive than fresh and they are packed with beneficial nutrients such as zinc and iron," says Yule.
If left unopened, they do not require refrigeration, which is a plus. "The processing involved in creating this product makes it much easier to conveniently maintain healthy eating habits," she explains.

Canned salmon
Canned fish makes it easier than ever to reap the omega-3 benefits of salmon without going through of trouble of actually cooking it.
"Salmon canned with the bones is a processed food that is packed with beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. So many [people] are choosing to limit dairy due to lactose intolerance and special dietary restrictions, [so] it is important to find other sources," says Yule. Other fish canned with the bones, such as sardines and tuna, are also good choices.

Some dried fruits are high in sugar because of the coating they have to preserve their freshness, but you can reduce your intake by choosing varieties that have just the fruit listed in the ingredients label. Be sure to stick to the recommended serving size as well.
"Similarly to frozen fruit, dried fruits still offer the same vitamins, minerals, and fiber found in their fresh state. Dried fruits make a great topping to oatmeal or yogurt as well as a wonderful source of on-the-go energy," says Gloria Stoverink, RD, LD.
pong-photo9Getty Images
Fortified milk is an excellent way to reap the benefits of vitamin D. Fortified foods simply means that the nutrient was added to the food because it was removed during processing or wasn't naturally in the product.
"Many people are deficient in vitamin D, so a good way to combat that is by drinking vitamin D-fortified milk. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and bone growth, helps improve immunity, and reduces inflammation," says Ysabel Montemayor, lead dietitian at Fresh n' Lean. Milk is also a good source of other nutrients, such as potassium, phosphorus, and protein.

You might not realize, but popcorn is actually a whole grain and is a great source of fiber and antioxidants.
"This is one of my favorite snacks for when I want something salty. I love buying 100-calorie packs of popcorn to help with portion control. If I want to be a little more filling, I may add some sliced almond and chocolate chips for a sweet and savory snack," says Brooke Zigler, MPP, RDN, LD.
imagospotGetty Images
Pasta sauces are notorious for loading up on sugar and salt, but Zigler says to choose ones low in both, like Rao's marinara sauce.
"I always encourage my clients to keep marinara sauce in their pantry and refrigerator for whenever they want to make pizza, pasta, or Italian recipes. It's a great way of getting tons of flavor without a lot of calories," says Zigler.

You can feel great dunking veggies or pita chips in this dip. "Hummus is my favorite pre-made dip, because it's full of healthy ingredients and is absolutely delicious.

Q: IBM rational software architect: missing "dependency" relationship I use IBM rational software architect version 8.0.4.
The problem I encounter is:
In a RUP analysis model I create an UML package ("System model").
Then I create an Use Case diagram in the package. From "Use Case" palette I create two package elements in the diagram ("ATM System") and ("Bank System").
Then I try to create a dependency relationship between them, but I can not do it. If I drag a line from ATM System and then I stop at the empty space I get two options ("Create Reference To", "Create Note Attachment To"). But I know that there should be an option "Create Dependency To" and it is not here.
So how to make that option appear or how to make a dependency without that?
A: I suspect you have used the RUP Analysis model template. Model templates allow you to add capabilities (and constraints) to the model elements that can be used on a diagram. You can fix this in two ways:
The first is to create a model using the General->Blank Package template which has no constraints. To create the model, go to File->New->UML Model, keep the default of Standard Model then select a General->Blank Package. Then create your packages and the dependency in a Class diagram and copy and paste the package and the dependency into a Use Case diagram.
The second is to alter the capabilities on your original model. Select the model in the Project Explorer view, and look at the properties View. In the properties View, select the Capabilities section and expand the section entitled UML Element Building Blocks - and make sure UML Dependency is ticked. Now you should be able to add a dependency between packages (you may need to right-button on the diagram and select Filter->Show/Hide Relationships to see it).
This may seem an odd way to do this - but the different templates are used to constrain what can be added to a diagram, to make sure your diagram is correct (according to a standard you set, or is set for you).
You may also want to think about what you are trying to represent in your diagram. Showing packages (to represent systems) is not typically used in a Use Case diagram. You may want to look at some of the other diagrams to represent these concepts. If you need to show your ATM and Bank systems - it may be better to represent these as subsystems (we can have a deeper discussion about this but it is a bit off-topic).
I hope that helps.

Queer People of Color in Higher Education by Joshua Moon Johnson; Gabriel Javier
Queer People of Color in Higher Education (QPOC) is a comprehensive work discussing the lived experiences of queer people of color on college campuses. This book will create conversations and provide resources to best support students, faculty, and staff of color who are people of color and identify as LGBTQ. The edited volume covers emerging issues that are affecting higher education around the country. Leading researchers and practitioners have remarkable writing that concisely summarizes current literature while also adding new ways to address issues of injustice related to racism, sexism, homophobia, heterosexism, and transphobia.
Crossing Gender Boundaries: Fashion to Create, Disrupt and Transcend by Andrew Reilly; Ben Barry
This volume presents a collection of the most recent knowledge on the relationship between gender and fashion in historical and contemporary contexts. Through fourteen essays divided into three segments—how dress creates, disrupts, and transcends gender—the essays investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion. Crossing Gender Boundaries first examines how clothing has been, and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender division that has come to permeate Western and westernized cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it, focusing on unisex and genderless clothing. The essays consider how fashion can both constrict and free gender expression, explore the ways dress and gender are products of one other, and illuminate the construction of gender through social norms. Readers will find that through analysis of the relationship between gender and fashion, they gain a better understanding of the world around them.
Quarry by Tanis Franco
Spaces are not exterior to bodies. They influence and affect the way bodies exist in the world. A quarry is an unnatural place within a natural territory. At any moment, it can be abandoned. A body is not separate from the spaces it inhabits. They exist together, in a mutual state of interrelation and instability. Quarry relays a year in the life of a body in transition as it changes with other bodies; human, animal, and mineral. It examines queer social spaces and contested natural spaces, asking how they affect each other. Using evocative metaphor and refreshing language, these poems make bodily experience new. Tanis Franco eschews traditional narratives of the queer and transgender body, bringing nuanced ideas to an ongoing literary and philosophical conversation. Their strong sense of location and landscape is interwoven with sensual language and impeccable craft, creating a unique and distinctive voice.
Israel/Palestine and the Queer International by Sarah Schulman
At once a memoir, a call to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and an argument for queer solidarity across borders, this book tells the story of how novelist and activist Sarah Schulman's became aware of how issues of the Israeli occupation of Palestine were tied to her own gay and lesbian politics.
Love Don't Need a Reason: The Life and Music of Michael Callen by Matthew Jones
Love Don't Need a Reason focuses on Callen's most important and lasting legacy: his music. A witness to the overlooked last years of Gay Liberation and a major figure in the early years of the AIDS crisis, Michael Callen chronicled these experiences in song. A community organizer, activist, author, and architect of the AIDS self-empowerment movement, he literally changed the way we have sex in an epidemic when he co-authored one of the first safe-sex guides in 1983. A gifted singer, songwriter, and performer, he also made gay music for gay people and used music to educate and empower people with AIDS. Listening again to his music allows us to hear the shifting dynamics of American families, changing notions of masculinity, gay migration to urban areas, the sexual politics of Gay Liberation, and HIV/AIDS activism. Using extensive archival materials and newly-conducted oral history interviews with Callen's friends, family, and fellow musicians, Matthew J. Jones reintroduces Callen to the history of LGBTQIA+ music and places Callen's music at the center of his important activist work.
Transfeminist Perspectives in and Beyond Transgender and Gender Studies by Finn Enke (Editor)
If feminist studies and transgender studies are so intimately connected, why are they not more deeply integrated? Offering multidisciplinary models for this assimilation, the vibrant essays in Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies suggest timely and necessary changes for institutions of higher learning. Responding to the more visible presence of transgender persons as well as gender theories, the contributing essayists focus on how gender is practiced in academia, health care, social services, and even national border patrols. Working from the premise that transgender is both material and cultural, the contributors address such aspects of the university as administration, sports, curriculum, pedagogy, and the appropriate location for transgender studies. Combining feminist theory, transgender studies, and activism centered on social diversity and justice, these essays examine how institutions as lived contexts shape everyday life.
Queer Ancient Ways: a Decolonial Exploration by Zairong Xiang
Queer Ancient Ways advocates a profound unlearning of colonial/modern categories as a pathway to the discovery of new forms and theories of queerness in the most ancient of sources (thereby also unlearning queer theory as it has been understood in contemporary, primarily Anglo-American and western European contexts). In this radically unconventional work, Zairong Xiang investigates scholarly receptions of mythological figures in Babylonian and Nahua creation myths, exposing the ways they have consistently been gendered as feminine in a manner that is not supported, and in some cases actively discouraged, by the texts themselves. An exercise in decolonial learning-to-learn from non-Western and non-modern cosmologies, Xiang's work uncovers a rich queer imaginary that has been all-but-lost to modern thought, in the process critically revealing the operations of modern/colonial systems of gender/sexuality and knowledge-formation that have functioned, from the Conquista de America in the sixteenth century to the present, to keep these systems in obscurity.
Same-Sex Marriage: The Personal and the Political by Kevin Alderson; Kathleen A. Lahey
Call Number: HQ1033 .L34 2004
In the past three years, Canada has witnessed landmark court rulings in Ontario, B.C. and Quebec making it legal for gay men and lesbian women to marry. Legislation in the Netherlands and Belgium have also extended marriage to same-sex couples. Legal challenges before the U.S. courts in Hawaii, Vermont, Massachusetts, Oregon and California have had the same goal in mind. The same-sex marriage phenomenon is characterized on the one hand by intense personal joys and on the other by long-standing activism and historic legal reasoning. Same-Sex Marriage tells both stories: the experiences of couples who have been able to marry, and the stories behind the scenes that explain how the legal battle has finally been won. Using legal history and interviews, lawyer and professor Kathleen A. Lahey and counselling psychologist Kevin Alderson investigate the two sides of this process, creating a narrative that provides a remarkable case study of progressive social change.
Ethereal Queer: Television, Historicity, Desire by Amy Villarejo
In Ethereal Queer, Amy Villarejo offers a historically engaged, theoretically sophisticated, and often personal account of how TV representations of queer life have changed as the medium has evolved since the 1950s. Challenging the widespread view that LGBT characters did not make a sustained appearance on television until the 1980s, she draws on innovative readings of TV shows and network archives to reveal queer television's lengthy, rich, and varied history. Villarejo goes beyond concerns about representational accuracy. She tracks how changing depictions of queer life, in programs from Our Miss Brooks to The L Word, relate to transformations in business models and technologies, including modes of delivery and reception such as cable, digital video recording, and online streaming. In so doing, she provides a bold new way to understand the history of television.
Among Women: from the homosocial to the homoerotic in the ancient world by Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz (Editor); Lisa Auanger (Editor)
Women's and men's worlds were largely separate in ancient Mediterranean societies, and, in consequence, many women's deepest personal relationships were with other women. Yet relatively little scholarly or popular attention has focused on women's relationships in antiquity, in contrast to recent interest in the relationships between men in ancient Greece and Rome. The essays in this book seek to close this gap by exploring a wide variety of textual and archaeological evidence for women's homosocial and homoerotic relationships from prehistoric Greece to fifth-century CE Egypt. Drawing on developments in feminist theory, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, as well as traditional textual and art historical methods, the contributors to this volume examine representations of women's lives with other women, their friendships, and sexual subjectivity. They present new interpretations of the evidence offered by the literary works of Sappho, Ovid, and Lucian; Bronze Age frescoes and Greek vase painting, funerary reliefs, and other artistic representations; and Egyptian legal documents.
The Romance of Transgression in Canada: Queering Sexualities, Nations, Cinemas by Thomas Waugh
Call Number: PN1995.9.H55 W39 2006
From pornography to autobiography, from the Cold War to the sexual revolution, from rural roots and mythologies to the queer meccas of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, The Romance of Transgression in Canada is a history of sexual representation on the large and small screen in English Canada and Quebec. Thomas Waugh identifies the queerness that has emerged at the centre of our national sex-obsessed cinema, filling a gap in the scholarly literature. In Part One he explores the explosive canon of artists such as Norman McLaren, Claude Jutra, Colin Campbell, Paul Wong, John Greyson, Patricia Rozema, Lea Pool, Bruce Labruce, Esther Valiquette, Marc Paradis, and Mirha-Soleil Ross. Part Two is an encyclopaedia of short essays covering 340 filmmakers, video artists, and institutions. The Romance of Transgression in Canada is both a scholarly account and a celebration of Canadian LGBTQ films - moving images that have scandalized conservative politicans, but are the envy of queer cultural festivals around the world.
Gender Nonconformity and the Law by Kimberly A. Yuracko
Call Number: KF3467.Y875 2016
When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, its primary target was the outright exclusion of women from particular jobs. Over time, the Act's scope of protection has expanded to prevent not only discrimination based on sex but also discrimination based on expression of gender identity. Kimberly Yuracko uses specific court decisions to identify the varied principles that underlie this expansion. Filling a significant gap in law literature, this timely book clarifies an issue of increasing concern to scholars interested in gender issues and the law.

Cyberattacks are inevitable. Thanks to the internet's intrinsic vulnerabilities and the rapid advance of technology, attackers everywhere seem to be two steps ahead of defense capabilities. But companies can mitigate damage. Attacks may be unavoidable, but there are cross-functional cybersecurity strategies that can help your organization and institution battle cybersecurity threats.
There are two schools of thought around threat modeling. One school advocates the creation of attack trees and data flow diagrams. This requires extensive, cross-functional, security skills and is not a scalable approach. The other school encourages organic insertion of defenses based only on current context without "boiling the ocean". This lack of systems thinking leaves applications vulnerable as exploits in a weaker component can open the door to critical systems. Part of the problem is threat modeling today is largely an art. We need to inject more science in this domain and derive a repeatable and auditable approach that maps to risk. Such a model should abstract away the non-scalable elements and still provide a high degree of assurance in today's faster velocity business context.

Discussion in 'iOS 7' started by TwoBytes, Jun 25, 2013.
If that's the case and apple sticks with the current design. Get ready for some more whine and moan threads.
If it doesn't do everything that every device running Android or Windows does, then people will complain. The snarky "Android has had that for years" stuff certainly never gets old. I always want to counter with "you mean like major security holes and stuff that maybe works depending on which third of the OS fragmentation you're a part of?"
Not that I care much about the feature, but the Instagram 4.0 update for video came the day of the announcement to my iPhone 4S on iOS 6.x. My friend had a 2-year-old Samsung phone running something in the 2.x range. She had no idea how to update it to the 4.x it required, and neither did I. But for some reason she's going to get a Galaxy S4 later this year.
I don't get it. The iPhone 5 screen is NOT THAT SMALL.
I don't know about that, according to the poll, most people prefer most of the new icons, only a few are close.
Imo that poll has the flaw that the icons are viewed without being applied to the phone. They might look nice in detail one by one or even better grouped togther, but put them on your home screen and it looks meeeh. Just doesn't work.
The icons are BEAUTIFUL and FRESH! This poll proves people love the iOS 7 design and it's far from being a disappointment. Apple only needs to change the Safari and Game Center icons.
The latest poll has the icons shown in context on the home screen, and early numbers show a 2 to 1 advantage for iOS 7.
I am sure the vocal minority that dislikes the icons will try to come up with other reasons why the poll numbers don't agree with them, just give it time.
Random people will often simply vote for something new just because it's new, not for any actual even remotely meaningful reasons.
Most regular people will simply choose what they think is newer/"cooler" simply for the sake of it being new (and thus likely "cooler") to them.
Apple knows what is best for us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
The same exact thing happens with android .
The new icons are superior imo, interesting poll results.
You'd be surprised how many people (pointlessly) care about what other people think about things that are essentially simply of personal taste and nothing more.
Or some people are so resistant to change that nothing new will make them happy...or at least that's the category I'm in. I prefer the old Icons, but with a few exceptions I find the new icons tolerable. Some will end up in a folder day one. I actually prefer a few of the new icons (gamecenter).
I think they should stick with it. The minority of moaners is always very vocal.
Every time BMW launches a new car people say the same thing. Then it turns out to be the best selling model ever.
Also this poll is irrelevant because the people being polled didn't hold an iOS 7 device in their hands. This isn't a photogenic OS but it is beautiful to behold in 3D.
I agreed with the majority on all but one or two icons. Safari, Game Center, and Settings were my least favorite icons.
I like the new Photos, Mail, SMS, and Passbook icons.
I've been in the Mac universe long enough to see people predicting the death of Apple every. single. time. they release a new OS or product. "Apple doesn't have it anymore!" -- and then it always turns out to be a record-shattering product or announcement.
I'll just let the Chicken Littles keep on whining and enjoy iOS 7 when it is released.
I think it's not correct to compare icons that were designed for two completely different style of looks. For example, the old compass icon is perfectly fine for "old" iOS 6 look, but would look awful in iOS 7, however the new icon looks good in iOS 7, but would be absolutely inappropriate for iOS 6.
The better question would be simply to show only new icons and for each ask do you like it, yes/no? It also is more important question, because icon can be horrible, but still an improvement over previous version.
Also, IMHO icons lack some of attention to details and while generally may be perceived as good, they have some "hidden" flaws that aren't usually present in Apple's designs which usually stand even most nitpicky examination. For example, the Music icon looks fine and the poll result shows that people don't see any problems with it, however for people who are familiar with musical notation, the line with rounded corners that groups two notes is just weird, because in real notation these group lines are never rounded. Why did they round corners on that icon? Even if it doesn't effect user impression of the icon, it also doesn't make any sense, which is not typical of Apple designs where every tiny detail has been thought through.
Since iOS 7 was announced I've thought that the 3 icons that are really terrible are Safari, Game Center, and Settings. I went into this poll guessing that they'd be the 3 that lost to iOS 6.
So out of 26 polls, 5 of them lost out to iOS 6 and I guessed 3 of them. Well wow, if this really is a random crap-shoot like you say that's a freaking amazing coincidence for me to guess 3 out of 5 out out of 26 correctly.
Maybe I should play the lottery today!
Oh my gawd... We're back to talking about the damn icons again??
What did you think the topic would be in a thread titled "iOS 6 vs iOS 7 icon public poll"?

Records/Document Management
This page was last updated on 9/26/2018
Records and document management are at the core of most courts' business processes. The two elements are directly related; document management focus on how the courts obtain/acquire documents while records management focuses on care and storage after acquisition. With respect to document management, many state courts have implemented electronic court records (ECR) and electronic data management systems (EDMS) in an effort to improve court operations and manage unruly paperwork. With respect to records management, quality retention and use is critical to the fair and efficient adjudication of cases and the enforcement of legal remedies that courts are required to perform.

Who is the Patron Saint of Cancer?
Why is Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer?
Who is the Patron Saint of Cancer? The name of the Patron Saint of Cancer is Saint Peregrine. What is the meaning of a Patron Saint and why were these people chosen to become patrons of causes, professions and countries?
There is a patron for virtually every cause, country, profession or special interest. Prayers are considered more likely to be answered by asking a patron, such as Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer for intercession on their behalf.
Why is Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer? Because he had cancer on his leg and foot.
It is helpful to be able to recognise Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer in paintings, stained glass windows, illuminated manuscripts, architecture and other forms of Christian art. The artistic representations reflect the life or death of saints, or an aspect of life with which the person is most closely associated. Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer is represented in Christian Art with one leg covered in a cancerous sore leaning on a staff.
The Feast Day of Saint Peregrine the Patron Saint of Cancer is May 1. The origin of Feast Days: most saints have specially designated feast days and are associated with a specific day of the year and these are referred to as the saint's feast day. The feast days first arose from the very early Christian custom of the annual commemoration of martyrs on the dates of their deaths at the same time celebrating their birth into heaven.

I am not fascinated by this icon - never was and never have been. I don't get it either. ladyjack - I think you might mean that you are fascinated with peoples fascination of this icon.
He had one of the greatest singing voices in popular music.
I think the best male pop singers ever are Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and David Bowie, but that's just my opinion.
He adopted a style which was unique for it's time and became popular.
Mostly though, his talent was wasted. If he had have developed his talent he would have been much greater than he turned out.
I think people get so wrapped up in the whole image of Presley they forget about his music. His first recordings for the Sun Records label are his best, and after that his music(although enjoyable) wasnt quite the same. I will also say this: When people think of rock and roll the first name they come up with is Elvis Presley. Keep in mind Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Little Richard were playing rock and roll before Elvis. Presley just opened the door helped white middle America into black rhythm and blues(which what rock and roll pretty much was in those days).

"Maybe I'm not an artist or artistically inclined, but touching the piece wakes something up inside of you."
The Art Institute of Chicago serves a broad spectrum of diverse and intersecting audiences in an array of approaches and opportunities for engagement. Technologies such as 3D printing open up new ways for visitors with disabilities to experience and engage with the collection. Repeat visitors like Rose say:
"I'm so used to going to the AIC (Art Institute of Chicago) and everything is glassed up. Hands-on opens up your other senses and makes your heart putter, even though its not the actual piece. Knowing that someone can duplicate this piece is thrilling."
She is speaking of a new form of "hands-on" engagement that museum educators like Lucas Livingston are beginning to implement through the use of 3D printing. Lucas invites audiences to take a journey with works of art framing them in their original context and putting them in the hands of museum visitors—in particular museum visitors with low-vision and Alzheimer's.
With a profound dedication for inclusive lifelong learning, Lucas has expanded access to the museum for audiences with disabilities and has crafted unique experiences for visitors with low vision and adults living with Alzheimer's disease. Working with audiences with disabilities presents a host of challenges that foster new ways of thinking about the gallery experience and the collection. Ultimately, the goals of these tours remain the same for all audiences: to participate in creative discussion and walk away with an enjoyable, positive, and lasting experience.
"Touching isn't something we are able to do when we are here. Having a replica is our way of getting through the glass and 'seeing' an object."
This year, through the support of the IMLS Sparks! Ignition grant, a great opportunity arose in the Museum3D project to augment visitor participation through the use of 3D printing. Lucas and the Museum3D team set to select works of art that would be scanned, 3D-modelled, and printed for participants to hold and touch. Integral to the success of this project was the relationship between the museum and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, through which the 3D scanning and modeling talents of SAIC-student and Museum3D spring Co-Op intern Mark Kamish were made available. Furthermore, debt is owed to the curatorial departments of Asian Art, Ancient Art, and African Art and Indian Art of the Americas, who not only permitted, but enthusiastically supported the efforts to temporarily de-install, scan, and reproduce the selected objects.
Critical to the project's objective and tour's theme were the criteria that the original works of art selected for 3D reproduction be reproduced at a 1-to-1 physical scale and that they were originally created with the intent of being touched or manipulated in some manner. The rationale behind this was that the aesthetics of touch may have been a factor in an artist's execution of the work of art. Perhaps this aesthetic might translate to a modern audience, given the opportunity to touch the work of art—if not an original, than at least the scale replica. Beyond the satisfying sense of touch for the participants, whether with or without low vision or Alzheimer's, the freedom to handle the replicas helped to contextualize the works of art as useful object that formerly served a purpose.
"When something is described, you're taking someone else's impression/perspective. But if you give me the delicious pastry, then I can make my own decision about what it is."
Susan holds an ancient Greek drinking cup to her mouth with an excited grin. Steven lifts a pre-Columbian, iguana-shaped whistle to his lips, poised to blow. Martha caresses an early Japanese Jomon period figurine noting where the former owner deliberately broke it in half. Perhaps even in some way the 21st century visitor to the Art Institute is transported to the time, place, and culture of the people who owned, used, or made these objects.
"The object becomes a part of you, becomes a friend, much more intimate."
"Touching is how we know everything, even for sighted people."

Not to be confused with the European Court of Justice, the highest court of the CJEU.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (French: Cour de justice de l'Union européenne) is the institution of the European Union (EU) that encompasses the whole judiciary.
Seated in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, it consists of three separate courts: the Court of Justice, the General Court, and the Civil Service Tribunal.
CJEU is the chief judicial authority of the European Union and oversees the uniform application and interpretation of European Union law, in co-operation with the national judiciary of the member states. CJEU also resolves legal disputes between national governments and EU institutions, and may take action against EU institutions on behalf of individuals, companies or organisations whose rights have been infringed.
the Civil Service Tribunal, a specialised court which hears disputes between the EU and its staff.
CJEU was originally established in 1952 as a single court called the Court of Justice of the European Coal and Steel Communities (as of 1958 the Court of Justice of the European Communities (CJEC)).
The General Court was created in 1988 (known as the Court of First Instance) and the Civil Service Tribunal was created in 2004.
With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009, the court system obtained its current name (Court of Justice of the European Union), while the court itself was renamed "Court of Justice".

The CDC and HIV.gov Outlines New Information in the Battle to Fight AIDS/HIV in The United States
World AIDS Day 2019 #WAD2019
"We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Now is the time."
World AIDS Day was first observed in 1988. Each year, on December 1, organizations and individuals across the world work to bring attention to the continuing HIV epidemic, endeavoring to increase HIV awareness and knowledge, speak out against HIV stigma, and call for an increased response to move toward Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America.
HIV in America
Collective efforts over many years at the local, state, and federal levels have successfully increased the proportion of people living with HIV who know their status and who are in care and receiving HIV treatment. In addition, our collective efforts have reduced new HIV infections to the lowest level ever. But, progress is slowing and new threats to our continued progress have emerged.
According to the latest available data, in 2017, 38,739 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States. [1] That annual number of new diagnoses has remained essentially stable since 2013. Further, approximately 15% (or 1 in 7) of the estimated 1.1 million people with HIV in the U.S. don't know they have it. These data make clear that not all people who need them are benefitting from the proven HIV prevention and treatment tools currently available. Specifically, certain populations and geographic areas continue to bear a disproportionate burden of HIV disease, requiring us to sharpen the focus of our collective prevention efforts on:
Gay and bisexual men who are the population most affected by HIV in all regions of the country. In 2017, gay and bisexual men accounted for 66% ( 25,748) of all HIV diagnoses and 82% of diagnoses among males. [2]
African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos who are disproportionately affected by HIV. African Americans account for only 13% of the population, but 43 % of HIV diagnoses in 2017. [3] Hispanics/Latinos account for only 18% of the population, but 26% of HIV diagnoses in 2017.
Southern states accounted for 52% of the 38,739 new HIV diagnoses in 2017. Southern states account for just 38% of the U.S. population, so HIV diagnoses are not evenly distributed regionally in the United States. Further, in the South the impact of HIV is greater than in any other region. The latest data tells us that 51% of annual HIV infections, 46% of persons with HIV, and 51% of undiagnosed HIV infections were found in the South.
Knowledge of HIV status is the entry point to linkage to receiving effective care and treatment for those who test positive, helping them to stay healthy and prevent new HIV infections. A person with HIV who takes HIV medicine daily as prescribed and gets and stays virally suppressed [having very low levels of HIV present in the body, known as a low viral load] can stay healthy and has effectively no risk of sexually transmitting HIV to HIV-negative partners.
Despite these outstanding benefits of HIV treatment, the latest data tells us that among all adults and adolescents with HIV in the U.S., only: [4]
63% received some HIV medical care,
49% were retained in continuous HIV care, and
51% had achieved viral suppression (having a very low level of the virus as a result of treatment). [5]
Knowledge of HIV status is also an entry point to prevention services for those who test negative. Today's highly effective HIV prevention tools include pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP, a daily pill which reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. However, fewer than 10% of Americans who could benefit from PrEP have been prescribed it.

Condé Nast is a global media company, home to iconic brands including Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Glamour, AD, Vanity Fair, and Wired, among many others.

Launched in 2011, Condé Nast Entertainment is an award-winning production and distribution studio that creates programming across film, television, social and digital video and virtual reality.
"One of my top priorities has been to define our organizational structure so that we can take full advantage of our unique growth opportunities and exceptional content around the world," said the recently-appointed CEO of Condé Nast, RogerLynch "I'm confident that our new global structure will better enable us to collaborate across teams and markets and, ultimately, deliver unparalleled experiences for our consumers and clients."

The team will also be responsible for consumer revenue, with a core focus on subscriptions and memberships. In addition, the team will have responsibility for global brand management, consumer research, and insights and global audience development, ensuring a data-driven approach to the company's efforts.

Corporate Functions: The company is also globalizing its three corporate functions to leverage skills, expertise and standardize processes and best practices: People, Finance and Communications. The company will begin an immediate search and selection process for these and other open roles. Until new leaders are identified, teams will maintain their existing reporting lines and responsibilities.
"We're bringing added focus to our direct-to-consumer efforts and will build a new consumer marketing function that will be charged with developing best-in-class subscription and membership capabilities, and maintaining the authenticity of our iconic global brands," Lynch continued.

Blu-ray Review: Gorgeous Transfers, Hours of Bonus Material For 'Universal Classic Monsters'
Submitted by BrianTT on October 3, 2012 - 2:16pm
Bride of Frankenstein
Creature of the Black Lagoon
The Wolf Man
CHICAGO – It's incredible to think about the influence of the wave of Universal monsters movies released by the studio in the '30s and '40s and recently collected in a gorgeous box set titled "Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection." Sure, several of the iconic characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy had source material to draw from but it really is the way that the Universal films, their directors, and the actors cast in them brought them to life that really defined them.

Second consecutive day of protests: Thousands of Egyptians defy gov't ban on protests, angrily calling on President Mubarak to resign. Six dead.
Second day in a row: Thousands of Egyptians defied a government ban on protests today and angrily called on President Hosni Mubarak to resign.
The U.S.seems to have partially abandoned its long-time Arab ally, with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton telling the Mubarak government it must implement democratic reforms and allow peaceful protests.
Six people are reported dead and hundreds have been arrested following the second day of protests in several Egyptian cities. In the city of Suez, rioting demonstrators set fire to a government building on Thursday.
The ailing Mubarak, 82, has been in power since 1981, after the assassination of his predecessor Anwar Sadat. He has not said whether he will run in the September elections; he has long been considering backing his son Jamal.
A leading figure in the pro-reforms movement is Mohamed ElBaradei, who is set to return to Egypt as the anti-government protests give his bid for the presidency a powerful boost.
The White House pointedly turned down a direct opportunity to affirm support for Mubarak. Asked if the Obama administration still backed Mubarak, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said only, "Egypt is a strong ally."
"I do think it's possible for there to be reforms," Clinton said at a State Department press conference with visiting Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, "and that is what we are urging and calling for."
The U.S.position is somewhat surprising, seeing as if Mubarak's regime falls, it is likely that the extremist anti-Israel and anti-West Islamic Brotherhood will gain much power.

the Virtuoso
Khada Jhin, the Virtuoso"Art requires a certain…cruelty."
Jhin is a meticulous criminal psychopath who believes murder is art. Once an Ionian prisoner, but freed by shadowy elements within Ionia's ruling council, the serial killer now works as their cabal's assassin. Using his gun as his paintbrush, Jhin creates works of artistic brutality, horrifying victims and onlookers. He gains a cruel pleasure from putting on his gruesome theater, making him the ideal choice to send the most powerful of messages: terror.
For years, Ionia's southern mountains were plagued by the infamous "Golden Demon." Throughout the province of Zhyun, a monster slaughtered scores of travelers and sometimes whole farmsteads, leaving behind twisted displays of corpses. Armed militias searched the forests, towns hired demon hunters, Wuju masters patrolled the roads – but nothing slowed the beast's grisly work.
In desperation, the Council of Zhyun sent an envoy to beg Great Master Kusho for help. Upon hearing of the region's plight, Kusho feigned an excuse for why he couldn't help. But a week later, the master, his son Shen, and star apprentice Zed, disguised themselves as merchants and moved to the province. In secret, they visited the countless families emotionally shattered by the killings, dissected the horrific crime scenes, and looked for possible connections or patterns to the murders.
Their investigation took four long years, and left the three men changed. The famous red mane of Kusho turned white; Shen, known for his wit and humor, became somber; and Zed, the brightest star of Kusho's temple, began to struggle with his studies. Upon finally finding a pattern to the killings, the Great Master is quoted as saying: "Good and evil are not truths. They are born from men and each sees the shades differently."
Depicted in a variety of plays and epic poems, the capture of the "Golden Demon" would be the seventh and final great feat in the illustrious career of Lord Kusho. On the eve of the Blossom Festival in Jyom Pass, Kusho disguised himself as a renowned calligrapher to blend in with the other guest artists. Then he waited. Everyone had assumed only an evil spirit could commit these horrifying crimes, but Kusho had realized the killer was an ordinary man. The famed "Golden Demon" was actually a mere stagehand in Zhyun's traveling theaters and opera houses working under the name Khada Jhin.
When they caught Jhin, young Zed marched forward to kill the cowering man, but Kusho held him back. Despite the horrors of Jhin's actions, the legendary master decided the killer should be taken alive and left at Tuula Prison. Shen disagreed, but accepted the emotionless logic of his father's judgment. Zed, disturbed and haunted by the murder scenes he had witnessed, was unable to understand or accept this mercy, and it is said a resentment began to bloom in his heart.
Though imprisoned in Tuula for many years, the polite and shy Khada Jhin revealed little of himself – even his real name remained a mystery. But while a prisoner, the monks noted he was a bright student who excelled in many subjects, including smithing, poetry, and dance. Regardless, the guards and monks could find nothing to cure him of his morbid fascinations.
Outside the prison, Ionia fell into turmoil as the Noxian empire's invasion led to political instability. War awoke the tranquil nation's appetite for bloodshed. The peace and balance Kusho had famously fought to protect was shattered from within as dark hearts rose in power and secret alliances competed for influence. Desperate to counter the power of the ninja and Wuju swordsmen, a cabal within the ruling council conspired to secretly free Jhin and turn him into a weapon of terror.
Now with access to the Kashuri armories' new weapons, and nearly unlimited funds, the scale of Khada Jhin's "performances" has grown. His work has brought fear to many foreign dignitaries and to Ionia's secret political underground, but how long will a serial killer, craving attention, be satisfied working in the shadows?

Learn more about Mike Swaney's use of bright colors and shapes, and developing his own very unique brand of painting.
Micheal Swaney is a Canadian artist based out of Barcelona. The artist studied Fine Art foundations at University of Victoria before graduating with a degree in Illustration and Design from Vancouver's Capilano University in 2000. Exhibiting internationally since 2004, Swaney has since displayed his work across North America and Europe.
Swaney's style is a mixture of geometrical shapes and dream like abstract lines. In his 3D, performance sculpture and video work, the naïve approach conjugates with the absurdity of the subject and the formal experimentation. The artist creates a singular universe where the childish spirit of the viewer wanders. The art requires a lot of attention before all of the elements fully sink in.

Fixture Release Day: 20 June
Dates for the diary for the 2019/20 season
While international football will continue through the summer, attention is very much turning to the 2019/20 campaign. This will be a memorable one for Brentford as we prepare for our Farewell Griffin Park season, presented by London Price. Brentford Community Stadium will open in the summer of 2020 and we will leave Griffin Park after 116 years.
The EFL has confirmed some key dates for the upcoming campaign. The first of those is the highly anticipated fixture release day, Thursday 20 June. Set for a 9am announcement, the fixture release day represents a date to mark in the diary for supporters up and down the country, with all 72 EFL clubs from the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two able to plan their respective campaigns.
The first weekend of August is to host the opening round of League fixtures, with 3 August the date set for the first set of traditional Saturday games in the EFL, whilst Round One in the Carabao Cup is to take place week commencing 12 August. Wembley will play host to the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday 1 March, 2020, in what will be the first of five Finals in the EFL calendar, whilst the EFL Trophy Final, which attracted a record crowd of 85,021 in this year's showpiece between Portsmouth and Sunderland, is to take place the following month on Sunday 5 April.
The season-ending Sky Bet EFL Play-Offs will once again be staged at Wembley Stadium, this time across two weekends in May. The League Two Final will start proceedings on Saturday 16 May, before League One and the Championship take centre stage the following weekend on Sunday 24 May and Monday 25 May, respectively. The scheduling of the respective Play-Off Finals is due to a busy period in the football calendar, with Wembley Stadium also hosting fixtures at Euro 2020, including the Semi-Finals and Final.
A full list of the key dates ahead of the 2019/20 EFL season can be found below while FA dates can be seen here:
Fixture Release Date – Thursday 20 June 2019, 9am
Start Date – Saturday 3 August 2019 (with a likely live game on Friday 2 August)

Q: SelectedNode Property Of TreeView Object Hangs The Form Multithreading I am working on a GUI script and I ran into a problem with my TreeView object. The problem occurs when I try to display the SelectedNode property or try to use the GetNodeAt() method of a TreeView that is displayed in another thread. I am able to display the TreeView object itself though. This is a sample of what I'm trying to do:
$form = new-object system.windows.forms.form
$treeview = new-object system.windows.forms.treeview
$treeview.name = "tree view"
$treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode})
$treenode = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
$treenode.name = "tree node"
$treenode.text = "tree node"
$treenode2 = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
$treenode2.name = "second tree node"
$treenode2.text = "second tree node"
$treeview.nodes.addrange(@($treenode,$treenode2))
$form.controls.add($treeview)
$thread = [Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory]::CreateRunspace()
$thread.Open()
$thread.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("form",$form)
$thepipe = $thread.CreatePipeline({$form.Showdialog()})
$thepipe.Input.Close()
$thepipe.InvokeAsync()
The issue comes with the line $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode}) When I click a node in the treeview the form will hang and I have to kill the Powershell process. The weird thing is I can display the TreeView object with no issue. Like this: $treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this}). This will return the TreeView Object with no issues. I have also tried to use this instead $treeview.add_nodemouseclick({write-host $this.getnodeat($_.x,$_.y)}). This will also hang the form.
The problem comes from the form being displayed in another thread because when I do the same code but keep the form in the same thread I have no issues with displaying the selected node. like this:
$form = new-object system.windows.forms.form
$treeview = new-object system.windows.forms.treeview
$treeview.name = "tree view"
$treeview.add_afterselect({write-host $this.selectednode})
$treenode = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
$treenode.name = "tree node"
$treenode.text = "tree node"
$treenode2 = new-object system.windows.forms.treenode
$treenode2.name = "second tree node"
$treenode2.text = "second tree node"
$treeview.nodes.addrange(@($treenode,$treenode2))
$form.controls.add($treeview)
$form.Showdialog()
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
A: If you take a look at the TreeViewEventHandler method signature, you'll find that it takes two arguments, a sender and a TreeViewEventArgs object.
You can either "intercept" these by declaring your own named parameters, like so:
$treeview.add_AfterSelect({
param($s,$e)
# $e now refers to the TreeViewEventArgs
Write-Host $e.Node
})
Or you can rely on the automatic event variables $Sender and $EventArgs:
$treeview.add_AfterSelect({
Write-Host $EventArgs.Node
})
You may want to have a look at the help files for Register-ObjectEvent and about_Automatic_Variables
Don't use $this inside an event action - it's meant to be used as an instance reference in script method definitions, like so:
PS C:\> $obj = New-Object psobject -Property @{ Number = 3 }
PS C:\> $obj |Add-Member -Type ScriptMethod -Name GetSquare -Value { return $this.Number * $this.Number }
PS C:\> $obj.GetSquare()
9
PS C:\> $obj.Number = 4
PS C:\> $obj.GetSquare()
16

The great hall teemed with activity, conducted by the light of candle and torch. Great slabs of meat and bowls of fruit were constantly being brought in, and their remains taken out. Jesters plied their trade in the empty spaces between tables. The King's hospitality was legend, but it was mere prelude to what the guests knew was to come.
Soon the flames would be extinguished and the room would fall dark and silent, and from keyhole and crevice would emerge the pixies, the sprites, and the Will o' the Wisps, to perform their aerial dance: the evening's true entertainment.

The F3FC features exceptional performance with a 72mhz STM32F3 microcontroller and MPU-6000 connected over SPI. It has more connectivity than all other flight controllers except its sibling F4FC through the Polystack connector. Four PWM motor outputs are built into the board.
Stack up to seven Polystack mods (height permitting) to get all of the functionality you want now and in the future. No more buying a whole new flight controller just for a new feature. Add a microSD mod for blackbox or a microMinimOSD cradle for OSD. Polystack is open source to encourage a strong mod ecosystem.
The F3FC comes loaded with an early version of Betaflight 3.0. Its recommended to update to the latest Betaflight available from https://github.com/chickadee-tech/betaflight/releases.
This includes all of the hardware you need to build a ~30mm Polystack. This should work well for most quads with 30mm standoffs. If your quad features shorter standoffs you will want to double check the distance you have from below the bottom plate to the bottom of the top plate (unless the top plate has matching holes). If your bottom plate if very thick or the standoffs are taller than 30mm you may want to buy extra 35mm screws to allow you to stack higher.

How to create a marketing plan for your restaurant?
In order to run a successful restaurant, it will be crucial for you to create a detailed marketing plan. This will allow you to plan how you will attract customers into your restaurant. If you have a detailed marketing plan, you will be able to lure in a larger number of customers. Even if you have already opened your restaurant, it is never too late to introduce a marketing plan. Here is everything you need to know when creating a successful marketing plan.
As a restaurateur, you should ask the main stakeholders in your restaurant to discuss the objectives and values of your restaurant. This will allow you to produce ideas on how to promote your restaurant. In order to understand the buying behaviour of your customers, it is recommended for you to include a group of loyal customers in your discussion. This will enable you to identify the most effective method for your restaurant to attract customers into your restaurant. When you are brainstorming, you should identify the theme of your restaurant and identify the unique selling point of your restaurant. This will give you the opportunity to identify your target audience. During the brainstorm, you should discuss the areas of your restaurant which needs improving. This will enable you to ensure that all aspects of your restaurant are at a sufficient standard which will reduce the number of complaints you receive.
Have you run out of ideas? As a restaurateur, you may not know where to start when creating a marketing plan. It is recommended for you to search for the marketing strategies of other restaurants. This will show you how to lay out your marketing plan correctly. It will give you the opportunity to get ideas and will enable you to see which ideas are successful for local restaurants. This will give you the knowledge you need to create a successful marketing plan.
SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This will enable you to identify the strengths of your restaurant which you should focus on promoting to your target audience. As a restaurateur, it is crucial that you identify your weaknesses as this will enable you to know what your restaurant has to improve on. This will give you the opportunity to provide your customers with a higher level of customer service. As a restaurateur, it is important that you always aim to expand your restaurant. SWOT will enable you to identify the opportunities for your restaurant. For example, if there is a university opening near your restaurant, you should offer promotions which target students. When you are running a restaurant, there will be many factors that may threaten your restaurant. If you identify the factors that may threaten your restaurant, you will be able to prepare your restaurant which will reduce the damage of the threats. For example, if you run a fast food restaurant, the introduction of a McDonald's in the local area may threaten the number of sales you receive.
The four P's stand for Price, Product, Promotion and Place. The element of price will enable you to identify the price which you should be charging for your meals. When you are setting a price for your products, you should consider the income of the local community. This is because if your target audience have a low income, they will not want to spend a lot on their meals. When you are setting a price for your products, you should consider the quality of your product as customers will seek for meals which have good value for money. However, you should ensure that you select a price which will generate a sufficient profit for your restaurant. The element of product will enable you to decide whether your meals will satisfy the needs of your customers and whether your products appeal to your target audience. For example, if your target audience are students, gourmet meals will not appeal to them. The element of promotion will give you the ability to create adverts which catch the attention of your target audience. For example, if your target audience are young people, you should use vibrant colours to catch their attention. If you cannot catch your target audience's attention, you will struggle to lure customers into your restaurant. The element of place will determine where your product is sold and how it is delivered to the customer. When your customers arrive at your restaurant, one of the first things they should see are your meals. This will lead to the customer wanting to try your meals which will encourage them to purchase your meals.
Once you have identified your ideas, goals and strategies, you should put them into a written report. It is recommended for you to include steps you will need to take in order to achieve your goals. It is important that you clearly state the steps you need to take as this will prevent anyone from misunderstanding the steps. The steps you will need to include in your marketing campaign's description are: date of campaign, campaign name, material which will be distributed, budget and objective of marketing campaign.
Retail store footfall still matter?
Role of DATA, how useful in epos for restaurant?

We finished picking all our Marquette grapes in the past four days, and the crop came in looking and tasting great. We also harvest our Petit Pearl for the first year, and we're excited to see how it turns out… in 12 months or so. It brings our running total of grapes harvested so far this year to 37,000 pounds precisely!
Nope, we're not excited about Marquette harvest. Not at all.
You only have to wait till winter 2017 to have this beautiful Marquette in your wine glass.

1. Luck like the Irish: How emigration can be good for the Western Balkans
Author: Alida Vračić
Content Type: Special Report
Institution: European Council On Foreign Relations
Abstract: Western Balkans governments have failed to tap the potential of their vast diaspora – six million strong – around the world. This diaspora possesses the networks, skills, and assets that Western Balkans countries need to develop and to prosper in an age of fierce economic competition. Ireland's experience sets the standard: today's "Global Irish" population is a networked diaspora that champions Irish interests throughout the world and has made critical contributions to Ireland's economic miracle. To follow in Irish footsteps, the Western Balkans urgently needs to gather data, including carrying out comprehensive labour force surveys, to understand the diaspora properly and learn how best to communicate with it. The EU must help. It should introduce circular migration programmes so that educated Western Balkans citizens in EU member states return to their home countries fully equippedto make an even greater contribution than they could have done before leaving

2. Strength In Numbers
Author: Wendy Cutler
Institution: Asia Society Policy Institute
Abstract: Tensions in U.S.-China economic and trade relations have steadily increased over the past year, leading to the imposition of tariffs and counter-tariffs impacting nearly USD $400 billion in two-way trade. At the time of writing, a negotiated solution has yet to materialize, but the two sides have continued to make progress, with a deal seemingly imminent. At the heart of the conflict are challenges posed by China's state-led economic model, including excessive and under-reported industrial subsidies and other financial assistance, operation of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), opaque regulatory measures that advantage domestic producers, forced technology transfer, and centrally directed strategic guidance

3. Grading China's Belt and Road
Author: Daniel M. Kliman
Institution: Center for a New American Security
Abstract: Since its launch in 2013, what China calls "One Belt, One Road" has emerged as the cornerstone of Beijing's economic statecraft. Under the umbrella of the Belt and Road, Beijing seeks to promote a more connected world brought together by a web of Chinese-funded physical and digital infrastructure. The infrastructure needs in Asia and beyond are significant, but the Belt and Road is more than just an economic initiative; it is a central tool for advancing China's geopolitical ambitions. Through the economic activities bundled under the Belt and Road, Beijing is pursuing a vision of the 21st century defined by great power spheres of influence, state-directed economic interactions, and creeping authoritarianism

4. Contested Spaces A Renewed Approach to Southeast Asia
Author: Patrick M. Cronin
Abstract: As the competition between the United States and China to shape the course of the 21st century intensifies, Southeast Asia has become a contested space. A region where geopolitical orientations remain fluid, Southeast Asia lies at the front line of Beijing's expanding diplomatic influence, economic leverage, and military capability. At stake is whether countries across the region can retain their economic sovereignty and freedom of decision, and whether governance in the region will broadly trend toward greater freedom and openness, or the opposite.
5. Negotiating With North Korea
Author: Patrick M. Cronin, Kristine Lee
Abstract: fter a year of historic summits and negotiations, North Korea's future remains mired in uncertainty. Kim Jong Un, in the lead-up his second summit with President Trump, has an opportunity to cast aside his country's pariah status and jump headlong into economic development, but the diplomatic window is narrowing. Protracted stalemate may be unavoidable, but over the course of the next year or two the negotiating process is likely to be binary and head in one of two directions: Either sufficient progress is made to justify continuing the recent rapprochement, or frustrations over the lack of progress will effectively terminate the United States' diplomatic opening with the Kim regime.

6. Understanding China's AI Strategy
Author: Gregory Allen
Abstract: n the second half of 2018, I traveled to China on four separate trips to attend major diplomatic, military, and private-sector conferences focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI). During these trips, I participated in a series of meetings with high-ranking Chinese officials in China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leaders of China's military AI research organizations, government think tank experts, and corporate executives at Chinese AI companies. From these discussions – as well as my ongoing work analyzing China's AI industry, policies, reports, and programs – I have arrived at a number of key judgments about Chinese leadership's views, strategies, and prospects for AI as it applies to China's economy and national security. Of course, China's leadership in this area is a large population with diversity in its views, and any effort to generalize is inherently presumptuous and essentially guaranteed to oversimplify. However, the distance is large between prevailing views in American commentary on China's AI efforts and what I have come to believe are the facts. I hope by stating my takeaways directly, this report will advance the assessment of this issue and be of benefit to the wider U.S. policymaking community.
7. Financial Networks of Mass Destruction
Author: Elizabeth Rosenberg, Neil Bhatiya
Abstract: The international community has long prioritized reducing the risk of weapons of mass destruction proliferation, whether from state actors such as North Korea and Iran, or from non-state actors, particularly criminals and transnational terrorist networks. Despite this concern, however, there remains a significant blind spot: the efforts to prevent the financing of WMD proliferation are only in their infancy. The legal framework to prevent the financing of proliferation is weak, and implementation across the world is spotty. These weaknesses derive from one overwhelming fact: The international community has not prioritized financial controls to fight proliferation. Very few countries have demonstrated the political will to put further emphasis on this threat to international peace and security.

9. China and the world trade organisation: towards a better fit
Author: Petros C. Mavroidis
Abstract: China's participation in the WTO has been anything but smooth, as its self-proclaimed socialist market economy system has alienated its trading partners. The WTO needs to translate some of its implicit legal understanding into explicit treaty language, in order to retain its principles while accommodating China

The owner of a well-known property letting agents in Norwich told me once that they had a saying – 'the greedy man goes hungry'. There is not a lot of point in charging a high rent for a property if no-one is prepared to pay it.
That was then and this is now, and many landlords today are charging very high rents indeed. So much so that some tenants are paying over 1/2 or more of their salary to their landlord for rent. Particularly, in Landon, where rented property is in short supply.
How much longer this can go on is hard to say. There are calls for rent regulation law, but this has historically brought problems of its own, as those of us who remember the Rent Act will know.
I still think landlords should be wary about charging too much for their property rent. In my view, it's best to find good tenants and keep them long term with no voids. Even if they are paying less than the market rent, long term its easier and probably better financially too.
However advising on rent levels is best done by someone local who specialises in renting property. This is why, if you are a new landlord, getting a (good) local agency to help you let the property, even if you want to manage it yourself, is often a good idea. They will know what the correct rent levels are for your type of property, and will also be able to help you present the property so that it achieves the best price possible.
Rent is generally either paid monthly or weekly. Monthly is most common, mainly because most people are paid monthly, and can pay by standing order. Often this is specified in the tenancy agreement. However note that if the tenant proffers payment in some other way, you should not refuse to take it (and thereby artificially put the tenant into arrears).
One important consequence of the rental period is that this will affect the 'periodic' tenancy which will come into effect if the tenant stays on after the fixed term comes to an end. Generally, this will be either monthly or weekly. However, if your agreement provides for the rent to be paid in some other way if you are not careful, this may result in a quarterly or even annual periodic tenancy. This is less of a problem now though after the Spencer v. Taylor case simplified the law relating to section 21.
Note by the way that under the common law, rent is payable in arrears so if you want rent paid in advance (which you almost certainly will) this needs to be specifically stated in your tenancy agreement. All well-drafted tenancy agreements will do this – but there is no harm in checking! NB I wrote about this here.
If the rent is weekly, the other thing to remember is that by law you need to give the tenant a rent book, in the proper form. However, failure to provide this does not mean that the tenant does not have to pay (as failure to provide a section 48 notice does). It does, however, put you at risk of prosecution, so compliance is a good idea!
You can generally get rent books from large stationers or on the internet. Lawpack has a good one.
You will generally want to increase rent over time, to keep up with the level of inflation. Normally a rent increase is done by getting the tenant to sign a new tenancy agreement at the end of the fixed term or a (considerably shorter) renewal form. Letting agents generally insist on doing this and making a charge for it.
Strictly speaking, a 'renewal' is not actually necessary – as by law the tenancy will roll on anyway as a periodic under the same terms and conditions – section 5 of the Housing Act 1988. However, it is usually easier to do a rent increase by giving a renewal – because as the tenant has agreed to the new figure by signing the agreement, he cannot challenge it.
If you do not want to give a new tenancy or renewal form, you can also get the tenant to agree to the rent increase by signing and returning to you a copy of a letter sent regarding the rent increase. The fact that the tenant has signed and dated the letter will be proof that they have agreed to it.
Or, if the tenant is being evasive, a rent increase can be done via the statutory notice procedure. There is a prescribed form for this, and if the tenant fails to challenge the new rent during the months' notice period (by referring it to the First Tier Tribunal for review), the rent increase will take effect automatically.
Note by the way, that if your tenant is a protected tenant, there is a separate 'fair rent' system you need to use where the rent is set by Rent Officers.
Another, but less common way (in the private rented sector anyway) for a rent increase is by a rent review clause in your tenancy agreement. However, you need to be careful that the clause is fair and complies with the Unfair Terms rules (discussed in more detail later in this series).
The way to make a rent review clause fair is to make it referable to something external. For example the retail price index. Or you can specify what the new figure will actually be (ie say that the rent will increase to £X month after six months). This will be deemed fair as the tenant will have approved the actual amount by signing the agreement.
What will NOT be deemed fair is a clause saying, more or less, that the landlord can impose a rent increase for whatever amount he chooses.
However putting the new rent in the tenancy agreement does not always work, as the Court of Appeal decision in the case of Bankway Properties Ltd -v- Penfold-Dunsford and Another shows.
Here (in an assured tenancy agreement – where the section 21 ground for possession was not available) the draftsman put in a clause saying that the landlord had the option to increase the rent from £4,680 to £25,000. Needless to say, once the rent increase was implemented, the tenant fell into arrears and the landlord sued for possession.
The Court of Appeal held that in law the rent increase clause was invalid, as, they said, it was merely a device, masquerading as a provision for an increase in rent, to enable the landlord to bring the assured tenancy to an end when it chose and to obtain possession of the property.
So very large rent increases that the tenant is obviously not going to be able to afford are not recommended (and will be unsustainable if challenged).
If there is a procedure for increasing the rent set out in the tenancy agreement, this must be followed precisely. The importance of this is shown by another case, Riverside Housing Association v. White.
Riverside Housing Association had a rent review clause in their tenancy agreement that permitted them to increase the rent annually at a rent variation date in June of each year. However, they then decided to increase the rent from a date in April, as this matched their financial year. This was done for several years.
Later, in proceedings for possession, some tenants (Mr and Mrs White) defended on the basis that the increase was invalid because it had been done on the wrong day. The Court of Appeal upheld this, and it was only the House of Lords who found that the increase was valid. But only, their lordships stressed, on the particular facts of this case.
Meaning no doubt, that they did not want the housing association to be made insolvent (as the Whites were not the only tenants whose rent had been increased in this way) but that they would be less kind to other landlords.
So *always* be very careful to follow to the letter any requirements set out in the rent review clause. And when drafting rent review clauses for your tenancy agreement, make the procedure simple and easy to follow.
Note also my blog post about a High Court decision relating to using the s13 notice procedure to increase rent where there is a rent review clause in the tenancy agreement.
Nest time I will be looking at the term.
All Landlord Law tenancy agreements provide for landlords to be able to vary the standard rent payment instructions, and we also have a rent review clause you can use if you wish. There is also a Notice of Rent increase form and a renewal form.
A new tenancy agreement has great risks now that there are so many ways to get trapped with S21 and all the paperwork you must prove the tenant was served, along with re-protecting the deposit etc. It may also make any guarantor agreement invalid.
Can the statutory notice procedure be used if the tenancy agreement includes a rent review clause? And does doing so give a guarantor a valid reason not to pay up if the tenant does not do so?
I am not a fan of "annual rent review dates" in the contract as missing one means you may loose the right to it.
– Increase not to take effect less than 12 months from previous increase or start of tenancy.
– New rent to be no more than the increase in [published index] from the start of the tenancy.
(this avoids losses due to rounding, and using inflation rates for a date before the new rent date.
If you rent property - you need a tenancy agreement!
During 2017 I published a weekly series of tips on tenancy agreements.
You will find an index here, along with other tenancy agreement related resources.

Day 3: Tenancy or license?

If you are an NIH Federal Civilian Employee who is eligible to earn leave, you are eligible for the NIH Leave Bank! To become a member of the Leave Bank, you must submit a membership request during an annual open enrollment period or enroll as a new employee. Membership required a yearly contribution of one pay period's leave accrual- either 4, 6, or 8 hours, based on your current leave category.
The minimum contribution may be waived if you do not have adequate leave available or are a current recipient of the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program (VLTP) or Leave Bank. The waiver process will be automatically initiated.
As a new employee, you may enroll any time during your first 60 days of employment for the current leave year. Otherwise, you may enroll during the annual open enrollment period, which is held annually from mid-November to mid-December. Enrolling during the annual open enrollment period activates your membership for the following calendar year.
Once enrolled, you're automatically re-enrolled each year, unless you decide to opt-out during open enrollment.
Ready to get started? Enrolling is easy; just complete a few simple steps in Integrated Time and Attendance System (ITAS).
Membership in the Leave Bank requires a contribution equal to one pay period's annual leave accrual amount. A confirmation screen will appear. You must read the membership agreement and make a decision – you will have the option to select "Agree" or "Disagree." Selecting "Agree" will move the membership request forward to the NIH Leave Bank Office Case Manager.
As a Leave Bank Member, you will be automatically re-enrolled for from year-to-year until you "Opt Out" during the annual fall open enrollment period. In the event of a re-enrollment, the annual membership contribution will be automatically deducted from your annual leave balance unless you qualify for a waiver.
NOTE: Opting out stops automatic re-enrollment for the next Leave Bank membership period, not the current membership period.
If you are unsure if you have successfully opted-out, please contact the Leave Bank Office during Open Enrollment. Opt outs cannot be granted outside of open enrollment and once the Leave Bank membership contribution is deducted, it cannot be returned. An employee is responsible for knowing his/her current membership status.

Q: Transactions using r2dbc-postgresql I am trying to generate a code that performs 2 postgresql commands simultaneously, in one transaction.
I have in my DB 2 rules with different rule order, and I want to switch the rule order between them.
I am using r2dbc-postgresql (v0.8.4) and spring-data-r2dbc (v1.1.1).
I have defined DatabaseClient and TransactionalOperator and tried to use that piece of code:
public Mono<Void> insertRows() {
return databaseClient.execute("update rules set rule_order = 2 where rule_order = 1")
.fetch().rowsUpdated()
.then(databaseClient.execute("update rules set rule_order = 1 where rule_order = 2")
.fetch().rowsUpdated())
.then()
.as(transactionalOperator::transactional);
}
but the result was that the commands ran one after another, so I finished with having both rules with rule order = 1.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this?
A: Not sure what you're expecting here.
The first statement updates the rules rows to rule_order=2(update rules set rule_order = 2 where rule_order = 1). The second one updates rules to rule_order=1 (update rules set rule_order = 1 where rule_order = 2).

NOTE: DivShare has been acting up (again) and a good chunk of my audio has disappeared. Sorry if you have tried to listen to the samples and instead hear the the sound of silence. Going through the monstrous task of moving over all of the DivShare audio on here to my own hosting and embedding my own player.
I'm a sucker for the whole song-poem genre. For those unfamiliar, the concept was this: Write a song (or poem), then pay a company to take your composition, set it to music, back it with studio singers and a band and viola, you have a record! Check out the outstanding American Song-Poem Music Archives site.
Take for example Virginia Unrein of Montrose, and her ode to her nautical love, Sailor Joe.
Listen to a sample of "Strange Music"
No idea on when this was recorded, or who the studio singer is. Virginia's song appears to be part of an EP with three other folks who handed over a few hundred bucks to the prolific Halmark label.
Virginia left this world in 2013. Her obituary mentions that she "successfully wrote and published several of her own songs on CD."

Another 25 citizens pronounced DEAD from the flu shot in Korea
Posted By: NaturalHealth October 26, 2020
(Natural News) The South Korean government is currently offering free flu vaccines to 19 million people across the country. The Korean Medical Association has deduced that the flu vaccine could potentially offset complications from covid-19, promising to keep people healthy and out of the hospital. This same theory (that a flu shot would stop covid-19) was peddled by the New York Times in March 2020.
Now the head of the Korean Medical Association is trying to halt the flu shot drive because twenty-five citizens were pronounced DEAD after taking the vaccine. The victims came from all age groups and include a 17-year-old boy and a man in his 70s. Because vaccine makers enjoy legal immunity, the human sacrifice ritual will go on and any problems will be swept under the rug and deemed "necessary" for the greater good.
Vaccine drive resumes despite twenty-five deaths and three hundred fifty acute injuries
This same vaccination drive was previously suspended for three weeks, after South Korean health officials found that five million doses were being transported without proper refrigeration. This massive lot of vaccines, improperly stored, put countless citizens at risk. The vaccination campaign ultimately resumed on October 13. In just one week, the vaccine had already claimed the lives of two dozen people.
Choi Dae-zip, president of the Korean Medical Association requested to halt the flu shot campaign, but Korean health authorities (and other blind worshipers of vaccine 'science') are trying to claim that the deaths were probably not related to the vaccine. "The number of deaths has increased, but our team sees low possibility that the deaths resulted from the shots," said Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
Health Minister Park Neung-hoo told Parliament that the vaccine program will continue despite the deaths and public safety concerns. After resuming, at least three hundred and fifty more people have come down with severe reactions to the shots.
Flu vaccine leads the way for causing vaccine injury, hospitalizations, death and greater susceptibility to coronaviruses
A 2015 study investigated deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event's Reporting System (VAERS) in the United States from 1997 to 2013. The researchers studied the cause of death and found that 51.4 percent of all vaccine-induced deaths in adults were caused by inactivated in?uenza vaccines. The flu vaccine remains the most ineffective vaccine on the market, with the largest number of adverse events reported to VAERS.
For children, the prognosis is just as bleak. A study published in the Thoracic Society found that children vaccinated with the inactivated flu vaccine are three times more likely than their non-vaccinated peers to be hospitalized with flu-like illness. These results were especially true for children with asthma.
A Department of Defense study, published in 2020, studied a phenomenon called virus interference among military personnel. The researchers found that influenza vaccination may increase the risk of the vaccine recipient succumbing to specific respiratory viruses, namely coronaviruses and metapneumovirus. When researchers examined the prevalence of non-influenza viruses specifically, the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to non-vaccinated individuals. These results were corroborated in a study titled, Increased Risk of Non-influenza Respiratory Virus Infections Associated With Receipt of Inactivated Influenza Vaccine. The study confirmed that children vaccinated with the inactivated flu vaccine were 440 percent more likely to be infected with non-influenza respiratory viruses such as coronaviruses.
If stopping the spread of covid-19 is so important, with governments shutting down people's businesses and suppressing their livelihoods, then why isn't flu vaccine-induced coronavirus infection being studied in greater detail? Are we afraid to learn that new outbreaks of infectious disease are strategically created and accelerated via immune-suppression and the toxic science of vaccination?
As South Korea and other Nations go forward with mass vaccination campaigns, they ignore the reality that this liability-free product is exacerbating the pandemic, increasing hospitalization in children, and causing unnecessary deaths in all ages. If one shred of the energy and funds being devoted to vaccination campaigns was used to implement strategies that actually make the human immune system strong, then all these respiratory viruses would be the ones dying off.

Beech 18 Dl8S N9887A has been transported from Malmsliitt to Optand airfield in Sweden recently for restoration and static display at the Jämtlands Flyg-och Lottamuseum.
N9887A is on long-term loan from the Swedish Air Force Museum and will be refinished with the colors and markings of Beech 18R registration number TP 4. The original TP 4 was delivered in March 1940, and eventually assigned to the F4 Wing on Frösön Island. ln 1941, TP 4 was transferred to F 21 at Lulea-Kallax airfield, before joining the Swedish civil register as SE-BTX; it returned to military service after being used on an Antarctic expedition, but met its end when it folded and crashed during take-off from its home airfield on Frösön Island due to incorrect flaps on January 9, 1953, resulting in the death of her pilot.
N9887A was obtained by Swedish Air Force Museum during 1984 in an exchange deal with Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation. The aircraft had been stored outside at Malaga, Spain for years, having last been operated by the Royal Moroccan Air Force. Following restoration to airworthiness, N9887A arrived at Malmslatt, but was placed into unprotected storage where its condition deteriorated.
Returning this Beech 18 to a level acceptable for static display is expected to take between two and three years.

Michael Steinhardt wrongfully traded after receiving non-public information: Judge's Ruling
Posted By: Sheeraz Raza Jan 10, 2012, 10:30 am
Legendary hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt has been sanctioned by a Delaware judge for improper trading in a ruling that says Steinhardt wrongfully traded after receiving non-public information while serving as a plaintiff in a securities lawsuit.
Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Court of Chancery issued an opinion on Friday that directed Steinhardt to self-report his insider trading to the Securities & Exchange Commission and disgorge profits of $534,071 related to his shorting of shares of Calix., a Petaluma, Calif., provider of broadband communications access systems, after it had agreed to purchase Occam Networks in 2010.
"By serving as representative plaintiffs, Steinhardt and the Funds gained access to real-time insights informed by Confidential Discovery Material and counsel's litigation assessments," Vice Chancellor Laster wrote in his 29-page opinion issued January 6. "Based in part on this information, Steinhardt and the Funds decided to abandon their challenge to the Merger and exit their Occam position in a manner designed to capture the arbitrage spread between Occam and Calix."
Steinhardt, chairman of WisdomTree, is a hedge fund pioneer who liquidated his hedge fund in 1995 and has been managing his own money through Steinhardt Overseas Management and Ilex Partners. He did not quickly respond to a request for comment, but in legal papers his lawyers have argued that none of the information he received while acting as a plaintiff was material, non-public information. Steinhardt in a legal filing denied any wrongdoing and said he received no information that would matter in trading Calix or Occam stock.
Steinhardt orginally got into this mess because of one of his former hedge fund partners, Herbert Chen, who has been running another fund firm, Lattanzio Chen Partners, since 2005 with John Lattanzio, another Steinhardt alumnus. Chen's links to Steinhardt have remained strong—he has worked out of Steinhardt's offices free of charge in an office that is roughly 20 feet away from Steinhardt's office.
It was Chen who got Steinhardt interested in Occam. Chen had purchased 2.9% of Occam's stock and was a big advocate of the company. His championing of Occam's shares made sense since they represented at one point some 20% of his net worth, the Laster opinion says, but Chen used unorthodox ways to promote the company. Using pseudonyms, Chen frequently posted about Occam on Yahoo message boards and he also wrote research articles about Occam for SeekingAlpha.com under the alias "Mr. Bert."
But by January 2009, the Lattanzio-Chen fund needed cash to meet a margin call, the legal opinion says, and Chen turned to Steinhardt, offering a block of Occam shares at a distressed price. Steinhardt ended up buying 2.8 million shares of Occam, or 13.5% of its shares outstanding. In September 2010, Calix announced that it had a deal to purchase Occam for $170 million of cash and stock.
Steinhardt and Chen did not like the deal, which implied a value of $7.75 per Occam share, because it represented little premium to the price range where Occam's stock had been trading. In October 2010, Steinhardt and Chen filed a class action complaint in Delaware Chancery Court, alleging Occam's directors breached their fiduciary duties in approving the deal at an unfair price. They later pursued an injunction against the merger. One month later, in November 2010, Vice Chancellor Laster approved a confidentiality order. It stated that information exchanged by the parties of the case could only be used for the purposes of the litigation and it restricted any trading in the securities of Occam and Calix. Occam's investment banker, Jefferies & Company, in December 2010 started document production and Chen reviewed some 3,000 pages, many of which were designated confidential.

These Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs are the perfect use of your electric pressure cooker. They turn out perfectly tender and are packed full of red wine and rosemary flavor. They are even better when served with ancient grains and drizzled with red wine gravy.
COMFORT FOOD! I'm screaming it from the rooftops because this cold weather just screams all things comfort food. These Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs give you all that classic slow braised taste BUT they take just a little over an hour. If you haven't jumped on the electric pressure cooker bandwagon you need to get one of these babies!
I mean, who doesn't want fall off the bone tender short ribs in just 45 minutes cook time?
PLUS they taste even better when served over Hodgson Mills NEW Ancient Grains Medley. I used their rosemary and olive oil flavor but I think any of their 3 flavors would be awesome!
If you're thinking to yourself "what's an Ancient Grain Medley" well let me tell you! It's a delicious mixture of KAMUT® Khorasan wheat, sorghum, and teff. It's nutty, hearty and goes perfectly with the rich meatiness of these red wine short ribs. Now, I don't use a lot of these grains in my house but after having used it a delicious whole grain side dish I'm all about it!
Plus, introducing "New" ancient grains, with unfamiliar flavors or textures, doesn't have to be difficult – and it can also be delicious! Whole Grains are specially produced to retain all parts of the grain – often grains are refined to remove the nutritious bran and germ, which are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Hodgson Mill side dishes are new, and can be found in-store in select areas, but can also be purchased online at www.hodgsonmill.com or on Amazon.
Now, let's get back to this recipe! If you're new to the Instant Pot world you need to get over the fear of electric pressure cookers and DO IT! I'm not going to lie – I don't use it every single week BUT I use it at least a few times a month. It makes cooking large batches of meat super simple and if you love to meal prep you'll want one of these machines.
For these Instant Pot red wine rosemary short ribs, I browned the short ribs right in the pot and then sauteed some onions and carrots and finally poured in the wine, fresh herbs, and short ribs. After they cooked for a bit I released the pressure, skimmed off the fat and turned all that delicious red wine into a red wine gravy.
You guys – this dish is straight up comfort food that you'll want to make ASAP!
Looking for even more winter comfort food recipes? Try my chipotle ground beef enchiladas, French onion Salisbury steak, cast iron chicken, short rib chili, Grenadian chicken stew or my homemade Mississippi roast.
Season all sides of the short ribs with kosher salt and black pepper.
Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and set to "saute" setting. When the pot is hot add in the short ribs (I do about 3 or 4 at a time) and brown on all sides. This should take about 7-8 minutes per batch.
When the ribs are browned set aside and add the carrots and onions to the pot. If there is not enough oil drizzle in a little so the vegetables don't stick. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the carrots just start to soften and the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds or just until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan so you get up any brown bits that may have happened on the bottom of the pot.
Turn off the saute setting.
Add the short ribs back to the pot, secure the lid, make sure the nozzle is placed to "seal" and cook on manual or stew setting for 45 minutes.
When the ribs have finished cooking manually release the pressure and remove the lid when unlocked.
Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and skim off any fat at the top of the liquid in the pot. I like to use a soup ladle to help take off as much fat as possible. This takes about 5 minutes.
Put the Instant Pot on saute mode.
In a small bowl mix together cornstarch and cold water. When combined add to the Instant Pot liquid and let the mixture cook down a bit while it thickens up. Make sure to stir the liquid while it's cooking. When the liquid is thick and looks like gravy turn off the heat.
Add the short ribs back to the pot so they stay warm.
While your short ribs are warming back up make your bag of Hodgson Mill Ancient Grains Medley according to package directions.
To serve add grains to a plate, top with 1 or 2 short ribs and a spoonful of gravy. Make sure to spoon on some carrots as well.
I love love love short ribs and I love that this is a faster version than my recipes!
Your photos are amazing and making my stomach growl….looks like I'll be making this sooner than later, lol! Time to break out my IP.
I am new to the Instant Pot game. I love finding recipes that are tried and approved! This looks great!
WOW! This will be my dinner tonight! Looks so yummy!
Those short ribs look positively swoon-worthy!
I dont know anything about red wine. What is a good dry red wine to use?
Hi Dennis! I like to use a dry red wine – something like a cabernet sauvignon.

Who are River Smith and Heidi Raynor and What Kind of Cult are They Running?
April 3, 2010 By Paul Elam 1 Comment
Complaints are currently being filed with the state of Ohio against the owners and operators of the internet website known as allaboutcounseling.com.
These events began as an almost routine story about a mental health advocacy website spreading disinformation about domestic violence that demonizes men, denies male victims and shields female perpetrators.
And while the disinformation is there in abundance, more digging behind the scenes at allaboutcounseling.com revealed what appears to be gross professional misconduct and an ongoing scheme involving psychological extortion, abuse and depraved indifference. Multiple sources have alleged that the site management is preying on and manipulating site users for cash with the finesse and brio reminiscent of a corrupt televangelist operation.
And they are reportedly heaping a plethora of emotional abuses and threats on site users who speak up against it.
All of this is being conducted under the auspices of mental health advocacy; with the professional blessings (and under the state license number) of a clinical psychologist.
The details of this story have the expected intricacies and complications of most scandals, especially with the efforts that the alleged perpetrators have made to disconnect their names from their actions. But the scam runs something like this:
Allaboutcounseling.com runs a members only on-line forum in which individuals are invited to join and participate for the benefit of "Confronting fears, honest feedback and active growth through the use and benefits of anonymity and healthy communication."
Users are made to believe that there interactions there are completely anonymous and conducted in an environment where it is safe to be openly vulnerable and to disclose intimate details of problems in their lives.
For some this seems to be the case.
But many former site users are saying that frequently what happens there is markedly different. In fact, after a month long study of the site and several interviews with former ACC members, I found the reports too consistent to be ignored.
In what appears to be a systematic pattern of significant abuses, the site management presents professional psychological qualifications, induces users to rely on the forum as a source of peer and arguably professional support, but subsequently acts toward many of the members with the following:
Banning users without notice, reason and without a referral to other help.
Redirecting banned users to pornography websites when they attempt to log on.
Tacit email threats to expose users identities publicly for dissenting from site management
Site management "diagnosing" members with personality disorders as a reaction to dissent.
Regularly threatening members who depend on the site forum to close it unless money is donated.
Encouraging the abuse of most male members and abusively targeting female members who had congenial communications with males.
Fomenting conflict between forum members and encouraging some individuals to abuse others.
In fact, as I studied reports of the abuses from some of the sites former members, the picture that clearly emerged was that of tactics used by cult leaders to control and manipulated their followers. Or, as one member, who requested anonymity, put it, "I felt that it was abusive because of the way it chummed vulnerable, trusting people who came to the site, and drew them in to a charmer/abuser codependency cult."
This same member, after posting that she felt the instigated conflict helped the hit count of the site was reportedly told publicly by site management that she was "delusional, sick and paranoid."
Another member, again speaking on the condition of anonymity, reported being banned from the site without notification and then being redirected to a pornography site when he attempted to log on.
Part of his reaction to this, taken from a statement which is available in the comments section at avoiceformen.com, was unsettling. "I had always respected the site coordinator," he said, "but after she did this to me I was sad to say the least. I was hurt. I felt deeply betrayed, humiliated and abused."
Another former member reported that she too was redirected to a pornography site after being banned from the forum.
And yet another member reported getting an email from site management that repeatedly demeaned her, and made multiple references to her location, number of children and her profession. This was interpreted as a veiled threat to reveal her identity or worse. And it is of particular concern because there are many members who have joined the allaboutcounseling.com forum for support when escaping abusive relationships in which they were or are being stalked.
Such a breech of confidence in those situations could have disastrous results.
On the surface, some of this behavior may appear part and parcel to the internet. There is a lot of flaming going on, and capricious site administration is hardly rare. It happens on a lot of websites. But this isn't just a lot of websites. It is a site that proffers, with professional credibility, to extend support to people at highly vulnerable moments in their lives. Indeed, it beckons them to participate throughout most pages on the site and assures them they are in a safe environment.
These actions not only reflect a moral deficit, but are likely in violation of the State of Ohio's rules and regulations governing professional counselors, the American Psychological Associations Code of Conduct, and various other state laws. This is especially true as site management presents professional credentials, accept money and places no disclaimer whatsoever regarding participation in the forums.
"Site management" is most likely better identified as Heidi Raynor, M.Ed., who in her bio claims to be an experienced counselor with two years of individual counseling experience, but lists no license information or professional references.
She also apparently doubles in the site forum as "Site Coordinator or "SC" as users refer to her. Raynor herself never openly makes the admission that she is SC, but in several posts, SC claims ownership of the site and solicits for donations regularly. Those donations have to be made payable directly to Raynor and are to be mailed to her home address at 4227 W. 15th, Cleveland, Ohio.
Raynor states in her solicitations that checks must be made out to her personally, and not to allaboutcounseling.com, leaving the speculation open to whether or not she is claiming the income when filing taxes.
But Raynor is not acting alone. According to information provided on the site, the content on allaboutcounseling.com was authored by River Smith, Ph.D.. Further investigation revealed that Smith is an Ohio based clinical psychologist who practices under Ohio State license number 4658, at 11206 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland, Ohio tel. 216-651-1302
According to information received from a source at the State Board of Psychology of Ohio, Dr. Smith's presence as one of the creators of that site, and the provision of his license number, inextricably ties him to the conduct and practices of it's managers, whether that conduct comes directly from Dr. Smith or not.
And under those circumstances, that translates legally to the site and everyone who manages it being subject to all applicable statutes and codes of conduct for that profession.
Most of Smith's role appears to be providing content related to mental health issues, making him the direct source of the misleading statistics and disinformation. But also by attaching his credentials to a site that is taking money, he puts his license on the line for any improprieties and ethical violations that transpire.
It also raises the significant question of whether the site is, in reality, an online psychology practice. Early information from the state of Ohio suggests that it is, though there will not be a final determination on this until complaints about the site have been investigated by officials in Ohio.
According to several of the former members of the site, Dr. Smith may be in direct violation of several statutes that govern the practice of psychology in that state. These include, but are not limited to the following:
Failure to report sexual abuse of children to authorities (there were several posts by members that reported their children being abused)
Failure to report physical abuse of children
Failure to report suicide threats by members
Children being allowed to log on and read detailed and sexually explicit accounts of other members lives.
Domestic abuse reports ignored by site management
Questionable solicitations for money
Presentation of misleading information
Proffering false counseling qualifications
Regarding the child molestations, according to a source at the Ohio State Board of Psychology, psychologists are mandated to report knowledge of child abuse to authorities and it makes no difference that the reports were received online, nor does it matter that the reports came from anonymous sources. Discovery of the sources is a police matter, not one for the psychologist to undertake or even be concerned with. Their mandate under state law is to report these incidents immediately.
There is no evidence that any reports with police were filed, meaning that a licensed psychologist and another individual claiming to be a professional counselor knew or should have known that children were being abused and did nothing but ask for more money.
At the time this article goes live, at least two and perhaps more individuals are compiling complaints against allaboutcounseling.com which will be filed with The Ohio State Board of Psychology and The American Psychological Association. This summary and a copy of the complaints will also be forwarded to the Ohio State Attorney General's Office for consideration.
When I first brought this story to avoiceformen.com and mensnewsdaily.com, I also forwarded it to about two hundred psychotherapists that supported the site by listing their services there and by purchasing an enhanced presence in the site directory.
To their credit, several of those clinicians directed allaboutcounseling.com to remove their listings. Most did not, however, and did not respond to my emails. Their practice information is listed below.
Once the complaints with the named agencies and the State Attorney General have been filed, an update will be provided regarding this matter. And in the update, I will begin exploring how the practice of "feminist therapy" has naturally led to such abuses of ethics and hopefully what can be done to stop it.
A list of over 200 psychotherapists, counselors, social workers and psychologists that list their services at allaboutcounseling.com is available at the Men's News Daily article here.
[Update: While the state of Ohio has not yet taken any action on the complaints, all information and reference to River Smith has been removed from the site, as has all information on the other individuals who manage and maintain allaboutcounseling.com. Just like cockroaches when the lights go on.]

PECUNIA, civil law, property By the term was understood, 1. Money. 2. Every thing which constituted the private property of an individual, or which was a part of his fortune; a slave' a field, a house, and the like, were so considered.
2. It is in this sense the law of the Twelve Tables said; Uti quisque pater familias legassit super pecunia tutelare rei suae, ita jus esto. In whatever manner a father of a family may have disposed of his property, or of the tutorship of his things, let this disposition be law. 1 Lecons Elem. du Dr. Civ. Rom. 288.
3. Flocks were the first riches of the ancients, and it is from pecus that the words pecania, peculium, peculatus, are derived. Co. Litt. 207.

Passion for pathos, great gestures, extensive orchestral cast, and the inclination to catchy lyric melodies are the hallmarks of the music of Romanticism - the era that began in the first half of the nineteenth century, which in the hearts of some artists, survived until the mid-twentieth century (and perhaps till today).
Among the leading representatives of late German Romanticism is Anton Bruckner - his fourth (most popular) Symphony in E flat major does not accidentally also bear the subtitle "Romantic". It comes from Bruckner himself, although he was suggested by his friends who saw in the work images of medieval knights, castles, and scenes of hunting, thus typical inspirations of romantic artists. This composition is known not only for its romantic character and catchy phrases, but also for the incredible number of versions and corrections the author brought to the work over the following 14 years from its inception in 1874.
Violinist Michael Barenboim will perform one of the most famous violin concertos, the work of the "late" Russian Romantic Alexander Glazunov. Concert in A minor, Op. 82 was created in 1904 for Leopold Auer and thanks to its virtuoso character, especially in cadence, gained considerable popularity among violinists. Zygmunt Noskowski belongs to the "late" Polish Romantics. The inspiration of nature and the Polish landscape played an important role in the composer's work, as exemplified by the artist's early work - the concert overture "Lake in the Tatras" op. 19 from 1875.

Q: Securing Bluetooth LE Messages I have a requirement to communicate with a custom Bluetooth LE device. The communication needs to be
*
*Secure (plain text cannot be read)
*Not vulnerable to replay attacks
*Contained within 20 or 22 bytes per message to Bluetooth LE restrictions (or phone API implementation restrictions)
Trusting Bluetooth LE's native encryption alone seems to be a poor choice based on this:
https://github.com/mikeryan/crackle/
So then we come to implementing our own encryption. In a normal client / server communication (TCP for example) with no message size restriction, AES-128 in CBC mode with a pre-shared private key might be a good choice.
However with Bluetooth LE
*
*There's not enough space to transmit an Initialization Vector with each Characteristic read / write
*It seems error prone to keep track of changing IVs based on the last block of the last message received / transmitted, given multiple Characteristics being broadcast etc.
Have I missed some other way of making Bluetooth LE secure?
A: ...fragment the data to 20 bytes and do multiple write to a BLE characteristic stored in the GATT. You will need to come up with a protocol to reassemble the fragmented data.
To fight the replay attack you can generate, before each new connection, a new challenge request and broadcast it via advertisement. It will be picked up by the central and returned encrypted to the peripheral. Make sure you generate a new challenge for each new connection.
The Bluetooth LE pairing (not including OOB) cannot be trusted from security point. There is a need to encrypt the data at the firmware application level on top of the pairing (using Just Work or better). Implementation of symmetric encryption (AES128 or 256) with challenge request is a good way to start.
Lastly, I would suggest to dig into the BLE OOB (Out-Of-Band) pairing that allows the exchange of a symmetric pairing key between the central and peripheral. That would also be a decent alternative to secure the communication. There are couple of implementation with NFC available.

Q: Cannot create a batch pipeline to get data from ZohoCRM with http plugin 1.2.1 to BigQuery. Retuns Spark Program 'phase-1' failed My first post here and I'm new to Data Fusion and I'm with low to no coding skills.
I want to get data from ZohoCRM to BigQuery. Module from ZohoCRM (e.g. accounts, contacts...) to be a separate table in BigQuery.
To connect to Zoho CRM I obtained a code, token, refresh token and everything needed as described here https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/docs/api/v2/get-records.html. Then I ran a successful get records request as described here via Postman and it returned the records from Zoho CRM Accounts module as JSON file.
I thought it will be all fine and set the parameters in Data Fusion
DataFusion_settings_1 and DataFusion_settings_2 it validated fine. Then I previewed and ran the pipeline without deploying it. It failed with the following info from the logs logs_screenshot. I tried to manually enter a few fields in the schema when the format was JSON. I tried changing the format to csv, nether worked. I tried switching the Verify HTTPS Trust Certificates on and off. It did not help.
I'd be really thankful for some help. Thanks.
Update, 2020-12-03
I got in touch with Google Cloud Account Manager, who then took my question to their engineers and here is the info
The HTTP plugin can be used to "fetch Atom or RSS feeds regularly, or to fetch the status of an external system" it does not seems to be designed for APIs
At the moment a more suitable tool for data collected via APIs is Dataflow https://cloud.google.com/dataflow
"Google Cloud Dataflow is used as the primary ETL mechanism, extracting the data from the API Endpoints specified by the customer, which is then transformed into the required format and pushed into BigQuery, Cloud Storage and Pub/Sub."
https://www.onixnet.com/insights/gcp-101-an-introduction-to-google-cloud-platform
So in the next weeks I'll be looking at Data Flow.
A: Can you please attach the complete logs of the preview run? Make sure to redact any PII data. Also what is the version of CDF you are using? Is CDF instance private or public?
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar
A: Did you end up using Dataflow?
I am also experiencing the same issue with the HTTP plugin, but my temporary way to go around it was to use a cloud scheduler to periodically trigger a cloud function that fetches my data from the API and exports them as a JSON to GCS, which can then be accessed by Data Fusion.
My solution is of course non-ideal, so I am still looking for a way to use the Data Fusion HTTP plugin. I was able to make it work to get sample data from public API end-points, but for a reason still unknown to me I can't get it to work for my actual API.

Alabama to meet Notre Dame in relocated CFP semifinal game
by: GREG BEACHAM, Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Top-ranked Alabama will face No. 4 Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal originally scheduled to serve as the 107th Rose Bowl.
The semifinal game to be played Jan. 1 has been moved from Pasadena to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, ostensibly based on the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the Los Angeles area, but more significantly because of the resulting ban on fans at spectator sports in California.
It's still unclear whether the game in the Dallas Cowboys' stadium will be called the Rose Bowl, but the decision ended a streak of 78 straight years in Pasadena for a bowl game first played in 1902.
The festive week of genteel celebrations around the Rose Bowl game already had been mostly canceled, interrupting a beloved annual holiday tradition for hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles-area residents and tens of thousands of visiting fans.
Back in July, organizers scrapped the Tournament of Roses Parade, an event dating to 1890 — including every year since 1945. Thousands typically camp out on the streets of Pasadena on New Year's Eve to secure the best spots to watch the parade, and the elaborate spectacle is also a national television fixture on the morning of New Year's Day.
The Rose Bowl game had been played in verdant Arroyo Seco every year since 1942, when the West Coast was deemed unsafe due to the attack on Pearl Harbor just 3 1/2 weeks earlier. Oregon State beat Duke in Durham, North Carolina, in that version of the Rose Bowl, but the game had been played in Pasadena in every January since.
The tradition-loving Rose Bowl had already changed with the evolution of college football's various playoff systems over the past two decades. The game was no longer guaranteed its preferred annual matchup between Pac-12 and Big Ten opponents, yet it remained among the most coveted postseason destinations for teams across the country.
This matchup would have been among the biggest in the stadium's history, too.
Notre Dame has played in the Rose Bowl only once: In 1925, legendary coach Knute Rockne and his Four Horsemen beat coach Pop Warner and Stanford to complete an unbeaten season.
Alabama's first bowl game was the 1926 Rose Bowl, and the Tide played in six early editions of the game. They haven't been back in the official Rose Bowl game since 1946, although they beat Texas on Jan. 7, 2010, in the BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl stadium.
The decision to move the game was not unexpected, and it was driven primarily by the objections of the contending schools to flying across the country to play without fans.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly both complained last week about the California state government's decision to deny two waiver requests by the game. Kelly even claimed his team might boycott the game.
"I love the Rose Bowl!" Kelly said during a television interview with ESPN on Sunday, emphasizing his complaint was about the inability for players' families to watch the game.
In the end, Clemson was assigned to the Sugar Bowl semifinal, while Kelly's team will have families in the stands in Texas in a game between two of the most storied programs in college football, pitting the national championship favorites against the final addition to the four-team playoff.
"I'm just really grateful that everybody was able to sit down, think about it (and decide) that this made sense to get the families to the game," Kelly said. "It wasn't really about the fans, because our guys have done fine without fans, but this was really about the families."
Alabama (11-0) won the SEC and rolled through its schedule with another high-powered season under coach Nick Saban, who is chasing his sixth national championship with the Crimson Tide. They topped the CFP rankings from start to finish this season after missing the playoff last year for the only time since the system began, capping their perfect season by beating Florida 52-46 in the conference title game Saturday.
"This team has done a phenomenal job all year long of handling disruptions, overcoming adversity (and) being resilient to various things that have happened," Saban told ESPN. "They've really stayed focused. We told them early on that the team that handles the disruptions the best is the team that's going to have the best chance to be successful in the end."
Notre Dame (10-1) beat out Texas A&M for the final playoff spot, and the Fighting Irish will be major underdogs against the powerhouse Crimson Tide. Alabama famously routed the Irish 42-14 in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7, 2013.
The Irish had been No. 2 in the CFP rankings for the past month, but their 34-10 loss to Clemson in the ACC title game put their playoff hopes in jeopardy, particularly because A&M won its final seven straight SEC games. Notre Dame's loss to Clemson snapped its 16-game winning streak, the longest in the FBS.
The playoff committee still chose the wildly popular Irish for the opportunity to be a huge underdog against Alabama. But instead of a week amid the pomp and pageantry of the Rose Bowl, the teams will spend their semifinal week in Texas, after an abbreviated stretch of postseason preparation around the Christmas holiday.
Saban will give his players three days off for Christmas before they resume work, saying he "didn't have the heart" to keep players away from their families.
Southern California's coronavirus infection rate, while critical, is actually better by percentage of infected population than the situation in Tarrant County, where AT&T Stadium is located.

The divorce lawyers at Shemtob Draganosky Taylor are experienced in handling property distribution cases. In Pennsylvania, the court divides all marital property in an equitable manner. However, the term "equitable division" does not necessarily refer to an equal division. Contact us to learn more about your equitable distribution rights.
Although there are some exceptions, assets acquired during the marriage, regardless of how they are titled, are part of the marital estate and therefore subject to equitable distribution. This will include such assets as real estate, pensions, 401ks, IRAs, businesses, brokerage accounts, stock options, stocks, CDs, money market accounts, bank accounts, the cash values of life insurance, automobiles, jewelry, and personal property.
Gifts from third parties and inheritances are excluded as marital assets. However, if these gifts were used to make a joint purchase or put in a joint home, the jointly purchased property is included as a marital asset.
At Shemtob Draganosky Taylor, our attorneys work to ascertain exactly what should be included and excluded from the marital estate. When appropriate, we engage experts to value businesses or real estate. Our goal is to ensure all assets are located and that the correct value is assigned to each asset.
When determining an equitable division of marital property, the court considers eleven factors. Among them are which spouse is the custodian of the minor children, which spouse is earning more money and has the ability to earn more money, and whether either has money set aside in his or her own name that is not marital property. The court then determines an equitable division of assets based on the specific circumstances of each case.
Contact Shemtob Draganosky Taylor today to learn more about marital property distribution and how we can help you.

The train sails toward Saint-Lazare. It's hard to say whether there's a sense of delay or desire. All the same, the approach to Saint-Lazare represents fulfillment, even if whatever brings you to the city falls short of extraordinary. Above all, it seems as though you're always approaching Saint-Lazare, like Zeno's arrow, without ever hitting the mark. You cross the bridge at Asnières. Below, on the right, there used to be a swimming pool, a blue rectangle, an unquenchable thirst. In passing, much too quickly, there is just splashing and confusion—one has no time to focus on any particular swimmer, just a generalized impression of others having fun—an impertinent effervescence, a challenge. Then the pool closed, the rectangle emptied, and you could see the contours of the bottom, the downward slope of the tiles, a feeling of great silence—it's not the nearness of a cemetery that suggests death, but this hollow rectangle. Much later, the space was filled in and a recreation area took its place—an undulating rollerskating course, a lame attempt to say there could be something else there, in that spot, beyond the before and the after.
Asnières, Clichy-Levallois, Port-Cardinet, the high walls just below the Batignolles Garden, and posted in the shadows, a white sign with red lettering, "Paris Saint-Lazare 2 km." It's not like you had missed the first sign, a bit earlier, "Paris Saint-Lazare 5 km." To calm impatient passengers? Or rather to compound the increasing slowness of the train that jolts along almost in slow motion? For a long time you had to take a local train, then a regional one, to get to Saint-Lazare. Whatever the traveling conditions—standing, or more or less comfortably seated—there is this slowing, just before reaching the platform; the decanting of mental operations. You are coming into Saint-Lazare. You could be coming into Montparnasse, or the Gare du Nord. The destinations are different, of course; they don't cross. Nevertheless, there is a latent proximity that floats suspended in time and space. Apparently, every man is an island. But the buildings, the snatches of street, the faded posters, and the glowing neon signs are imprinted on their bodies, in their minds. That happens with a feigned indifference, a glum look, whether you are impatiently waiting to meet your lover, or you are an administrative assistant, or a bank clerk. Reaching Paris is a false consolation, even if walking purposefully along the platform belies your real feelings. That indifference veils the sham. Because there's a deep, hidden satisfaction, almost a sleepy happiness in being part of the voyage, in crossing infinitely into Paris and never getting there. In being in this life.
A distant cousin who sometimes came to spend a few days at the house. She was pretty, two or three years older than me. Brunette, with bright eyes, long hair. Her dress daring for the times. I remember one summer vacation when she wore jeans over a bathing suit with a plunging back. Sometimes we took bike rides in the afternoon, together in the heat of the Garonne countryside. Some self-assured words from her, a low even voice, lightly nasal, some embarrassed mumblings of my own. A lot of silence.
Talkative, in contrast with the rest of the family in the morning, she stretched languorously—no: she gave the impression of stretching languorously—and, holding her bowl in both hands, said, "I adore warm milk in the morning." I always felt clumsy around her, but the feline confession of her pleasure paralyzed me with a feeling of crippling mediocrity and, I thought, plunged my whole family into a palpable discomfort. Those drinking black coffee could only nod in agreement with a noticeable absence of polite conviction. As for me, I found my tea with milk suddenly revealed as bland—the blandness of my small self, incapable of demonstrating in sensual majesty the appropriateness of my choice.
In spectacular fashion, my cousin embodied at once the superiority and the unseemliness of language and body movements that evoke the intensity of pleasure at the heart of a social ritual where all positive sensations should only be minimally expressed. Only children are exempt from such reserve, perhaps because it is considered normal for them to feel things more strongly, or more likely because they are excused for not yet having adopted the code. What justifies this code? Most importantly, how does the tacit prohibition against excessive expressions of pleasure alter the intensity of pleasure? We would find it comical enough to see someone tasting coffee with groans of ecstasy. But all the same, is it normal to always say, "That's good," with the objective detachment of a certified public accountant looking at balance sheet; "It's delicious," with a cheerfulness authorized only by the role of the guest extolling the dish that's been served—preferably at the moment when the eater is completely caught up in a much less gastronomic discussion, but feels an inner alarm clock going off that evokes, "It's delicious," in a tone all the more enthusiastic as the words are pronounced hurriedly, without missing a beat in a running commentary on the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition?
And what about those who never say, "That's good"? Are they perverted, or prisoners? Do they feel greater pleasure in saving rather than spending their share of outward expression? And so, do we or don't we choose to belong to the human contingent who know how to say, "That's good"?
Of course, she overplayed it a bit. Of course, she knew she was beautiful. Of course, she knew that she made us uncomfortable. Even so, it was good to see my cousin shake out her long hair, wait for the silence and deliver in her low voice, "I adore warm milk in the morning."
Six-thirty. The beach begins to empty. Having had your fill of sun and wind, body pacified by swimming, you slip on a T-shirt. You get up. Consultation with the rest of the party unnecessary, you peacefully begin the ritual of departure. There will be mutual consent, without a word. These are empty days, that time of year when nothing is happening in the cities. You are a tanned idiot with a book as an alibi—you've read all of three pages—at the bottom of your bag. At first, you went to the beach as soon as the sun came up, but now that the good weather has settled in, you draw out the mindless morning tasks. Going to get bread and the paper, you'll buy paper towels; you still have fruit until tomorrow. You stop for coffee at the corner of the square, next to the old church that gives the seaside resort its authentic village feel. In the early afternoon, you take a nap without any guilt. You spend two hours on the beach, three at most, the sun beats down hard, you are already tan enough, and anything beyond this would be pointless.
In this slow, deliciously slack life, one gesture is utterly satisfying. Shaking out your towel. A lot of people have already left the beach, so you no longer run the risk of blinding your neighbors. The terrycloth is almost dry, just a little heavy. You snap it in front of you, several times, with a strange pleasure, which has nothing in common with a domestic task effectively performed. In the desire to free the towel of every last grain of sand, there's a little of that gratuitous obstinacy with which some people clean a peach pit with a knife point. But it's more than that. A small finale that you enact without any sadness—tomorrow you'll come back, the summer has taken on this repeated immobility that dilutes tensions, expectation. A kind of flag salute, too. You took one step at a time. For hours you stretched out on the sand. Now you get up. With vigor, you salute the tranquil emptiness that captured you again this year, with these rituals of modest eternity. You don't shake out your idleness. You unfurl it.
No one had anything very exciting to say about it. Just a little condescending drop in the inflection of the sentence, "Ah! You're going to Turin!" Much left unsaid in that reservation. Turin, it's not really Italy. In a country that has one seductive city after another, the name is almost repellent, bringing with it the idea of heavy industrialization, and the city's proximity to the French border. Already, in counterpoint, arises the idea of being pleasantly surprised by it, the healthy hope of overturning archetypes.
Surprise. No need to force yourself. The squares in Turin are expansive, much more beautiful than you could have imagined. Of course, the opulence of the palaces doesn't provide much of a change of scenery, but an astonishing atmosphere of freedom hangs suspended in the sunlight of early October. You venture onto the terrace, fully aware that coolness will settle quickly with the dark. Leaving the Piazza Castello you discover the quaint charm of the Galleria Subalpina, an old glass-covered passageway that's almost Nordic, or Slavic.
In the morning, the town comes alive very early, everything fast, busy. Slipping through as a flâneur is easy, even against the current. Under the arcades, secondhand bookstores collapse in a disorder that has little to do with the Fiat empire. You follow the road to the Po. To the west, you catch a glimpse of a few alpine peaks. In front of you, hills scattered with patrician villas. You are approaching the river. Rowing clubs, hybrids of British tradition and Italian elegance, dot the bank on one side.
There is no lack of reasons for admiration, for contentment, but the reward comes from that first inkling of doubt which plays a role in the alchemy of pleasure. To like what others disdain, what they mistrust. It isn't so much about playing the iconoclast as it is about gaining a capacity for personal astonishment. You are not like Léautaud, who bought up copies of Neveu de Rameau for fear that they might fall into the wrong hands. But neither are you like those who want to read only what others are reading. You like to believe in yourself a little. Enjoying yourself in Turin.
Open air cinema, mid-summer, in Venice, Campo San Polo. A large space, but out of the way, off the beaten tourist path. Who would've guessed? The movie started a while ago. It's good to sit some distance away, on a bench. You can just see a bit of the screen that rises above the fence. You listen to the soundtrack, you see a close-up of half of Mastroianni's face in 8½. Just like that, in Italy, very late, a July evening. A film you can't really see, words you can't really understand. But that music of the Italian language seems made for the cinema, for a bittersweet exchange between a man and a woman. The blaring sound system. The ice cream vendor is still open. You buy a coffee ice cream. You return to the bench. It's funny. Just a simple moment of aimless strolling, but at the same time, it is a moment that distinguished itself from every other that evening. You vaguely remember 8½, enough that some beveled images, some singsong phrases and their disenchanted psychology, set up a delectable dramatization, which suspends the coffee ice cream in a singular tonality.
With each lick, you savor the warm night. Real life is on the half-hidden screen, in black and white. In the anxious inflection of voices that don't truly manage to bring beings closer together. The loudspeakers attest to this melancholy truth without concession. We are always just outside; we are not in love. Real life is a show. We buy tickets in order to gather on carefully arranged chairs and be sad together. But, even so, there's another real life in which you savor a coffee ice cream while saying to yourself, This is good, this open air cinema. What's playing next week? Oh, a Woody Allen movie, that should be funny, apparently it's dubbed into Italian. In love stories, men and women yearn for each other, but, when it's a fine night, when the sadness of the cinema is good, you'll arrive early, you'll stay behind the fence, best of all no subtitles, just very quick words in Italian, very late Campo San Polo.
I'm doing the dishes . . .
I'm doing the dishes. From time to time, I lift my head and look through the window above the sink. The garden is still bare, the gray-green branches of the old quince tree spread their tentacles under a slightly mauve sky, as if a storm were approaching. On France Inter, a program on autistic children. A mother tells of the hell she went through with her daughter, the psychiatric hospital, the cell-like room, the electric shock treatments, and then death. Suddenly I'm embarrassed by my desire to write about good things.
The mother explains that she felt the need to write a book on this part of her life. She doesn't analyze the reasons that drove her there, doesn't talk of catharsis, of forgetting or remembering. What she experienced seems so far beyond all psychology.
"It's funny. I set out to write this book, and the only things that came back to me were the good times."
Ah yes. It's right at this moment. You sink into an armchair, and the sigh that escapes contains all your exhaustion. Before the hint of pleasure, it's the relieved acknowledgement of all the mixed tensions, of all the waiting, of all the small hypocrisies of social exchange, of all the annoyances. Yes, all that takes off in the bubble of a sigh. At last you are going to feel real, the entire body consenting, first stretching, then immediately beginning to curl up, searching for softness and resistance, abandon and support. Your neck stretches from left to right before sinking into bliss. Your back endlessly straightens and relaxes in turn, its form fitting itself to the armchair that waits to make you comfortable.
In bed, the body is forgotten, fades away, is engulfed. In an armchair, it's much more ambiguous: you want to completely relax without losing yourself. You don't fully succumb. You continually feel, you occupy the contours of the chair.
You are there, truly there, propped up in a little parenthesis. Behind you everything has vanished. Toward what lies ahead you feel benevolent. Of course you'll listen attentively to the words that are beginning to be spoken to you. But there must also be that infinitesimal moment when you don't hear any more. You nod in agreement, let your eyelids close, as if to postpone the moment when you'll have to speak yourself—for you are entirely absorbed by the silent conversation between your body and the armchair. Soon the pleasure of the sensation will be diluted in renewed mental activity. So you quietly steal those pure seconds during which time disappears. Just after the sigh you truly feel well, your whole body soothed in its deep shell. You exist in the absolute, without thoughts, without plans. You'll cross your legs and extend them into the warm happiness of immobility. You'll be refreshed and protected, present, distant, drifting off into the moment before sleep. At last!
I continue to approach Saint-Lazare . . .
I continue to approach Saint-Lazare, with feigned indifference, amid a discreet crowd where no one speaks. We are one: those who are still sleeping; those who board at Breval, and laugh too loud; those last to board at Mantes-la-Jolie, who have to resign themselves to standing up. Like the rest of us, I have lived my life at the end of the platform.
As a child, I boarded at the Louveciennes School. Sometimes on Thursdays my sister took me to Paris. Ah, the steep little path that climbed to the station! With her salary from Ipsienne, she treated me at a creperie on Rue Grégoire-de-Tours, or even at a restaurant at Place du Tertre—four hundred francs for a half-bottle of water, an extravagance. In the afternoon, a movie: How the West Was Won or The Alamo. Other Thursdays, I took the train with my mother. The platform at Louveciennes, still in the provinces, and then after Saint-Cloud you caught sight of the Eiffel Tower. The first floor of Printemps, all those towering blonde salesgirls. In the evening, pudding from Le Bras.
You offered me, like that, your heartIn waxed paperWith a label.
I already knew that we were perfectly compatible. Since then, life has passed, together.
Slowly I searched for the words. I put a lot of "I's" in my novels, which led me toward something else. The day came when I wanted to say on, "one." A book was born, which used only that pronoun, and this book changed my life. On. I propose to you to be together. Of course, January 22, 1970, is mine, as is the round pudding of Le Bras. Of course I continue to put a lot of I's in all the on's. But we have embarked, and much more as on than we would think. Like Zeno's arrow, we know at least half our time remains. An eternity to live here, in the rattling of a train slowing down. Paris Saint-Lazare, two kilometers.

NER 9F finale
22nd November 2016 Nigel Devereux Features, News
The 9F 2-10-0 was described as the best of BR's Standard steam designs. Robert Anderson outlines the history of the class and relates the story of a ride on the last steam-hauled ore train to Consett.
One of the modified Franco-Crosti boilered 9Fs, No. 92021, with smoke deflector added around the final chimney. It was the drifting smoke problem with the original 10 locomotives that necessitated the diversion to Wellingborough in December 1955 of Nos. 92060-92066, which had been earmarked for Tyne Dock. No. 92021 is looking in a very sorry state at Derby shed on April 24, 1960.
The 9F 2-10-0s have been hailed as the most successful of the 12 Standard classes of steam locomotive introduced to traffic on British Railways between 1951 and 1960. They were the last class to be built and some authors have gone so far as to describe them as one of the most outstanding British steam locomotives.
However, for some of the earlier class members their entry into service in 1954/55 was far from successful. It all kicked off in mid-January 1954 when the first of the class, No. 92000, was shown off to the technical press at its birthplace, Crewe Works. Almost immediately afterwards came the surprise announcement that all eight of this new untried and untested class were to be sent to the Western Region for use on the heavy Newport docks to Ebbw Vale iron ore trains – one of the most arduous freight workings on the region.
Eyeballs must have been rolling for it was well known that the WR was openly hostile to anything that was not built at Swindon – as witness its contempt for the 13 Crewe-built Britannia Pacifics sent there in 1951/52. The WR did things its own way and continued to do so right into the diesel era. One must wonder whether this business of sending the first 9Fs; Crewe-built as they were, to the WR, was an attempt by the newly formed British Transport Commission in the august halls of 222 Marylebone Road to exert some authority over this go it alone region.
Yet the plan backfired. The new locomotives immediately ran into trouble with regulators not being sensitive enough, causing uncontrollable slipping when starting away. Of course this was no good with a 600-ton train to take unaided up the valley with gradients as steep as 1-in-52 to Ebbw Vale steelworks, a distance of around 19 miles.
The problem was solved by fitting smaller regulator valves but, in the meantime, these first eight had spent several weeks or even months out of use while awaiting attention at Swindon works.

UFC 232 Relocating Due To Jon Jones Drug Test Result
By Alexander Cole
The UFC has to move their next event from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
Jon Jones was supposed to fight Alexander Gustafsson for the light-heavyweight championship at UFC 232 in Las Vegas next weekend. Thanks to a positive drug test though, it looks like Jones is no longer licensed to fight in the state of Nevada, which means the fight has to be moved to Los Angeles. The news was announced on SportsCenter by UFC president Dana White, according to ESPN.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) reported unusual findings in Jones' latest drug test, which is what caused the issue. The test showed trace amounts of the long-term M3 metabolite which Jones tested positive for back in July of 2017. It was that positive test result that stripped Jones of his light-heavyweight championship and gave him a 15-month suspension.
However, there is some good news here. The USADA had a follow-up investigation on the drug test and found that the substance found in his system was most likely leftover from his initial drug test in 2017.
Jones took to Twitter to explain how the USADA's findings prove he is innocent in all of this.
The USADA has explained to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Jones should be cleared to fight but according to Dana White, there simply isn't enough time to get Jones reinstated in Nevada.
"Nevada does not have the time to see us and go through a hearing to find out what California already knows," White said. "There's not enough time for Nevada to do this, so we're moving the event to California where the commission has already dealt with Jon Jones. They were the ones dealing with this and they have all the history with him."

Nay Pyi Taw September 18
Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing this morning met commanders, officers and their wives from Lashio Station of North-East Command at the hall of the command headquarters.
Also present at the meeting were Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Tin Aung San, Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Maung Maung Kyaw, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army), Commander of North-East Command Maj-Gen Aung Zaw Aye, commanders, officers and their wives from the military units in Lashio Station.
In his address, the Senior General said that the main duty of the Tatmadaw is to defend the State for perpetuation of sovereignty and safeguarding of territory. It is necessary to widen defence knowledge of the people. According to the geographical conditions of the country, all the people should have defence outlook, and the defence power must be built with participation of the people. The people must have patriotic spirit and nationalistic spirit. Only when, they love the country, will they have keenness to defend the country. All must make utmost efforts for prevention of impacts of attempts to decline the spirit to protect the country, cause disunity among national brethren and weaken the united strength.
The Senior General stressed the need to emphasize prevention of any attempts to encroach on the defence power without carelessness.
The Tatmadaw members need to have same and correct outlooks and united strength. So, chiefs of armed forces in successive eras have built united strengths. The Tatmadaw created the path of multiparty democracy for the State. And, the Tatmadaw is striving for ceasing armed conflicts and carrying on peace processes. The commanders who control their respective military units must build their units to be good and control subordinates with spirits of commander and parent in a fair manner.
As infection of COVID-19 is rising, self-protection is the best. All should practise better measure for healthiness. The Senior General urged them to take care of health measures for themselves as well as remaining officers, other ranks and families. The Senior General stressed the need to abide by health guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Sports. Such guidelines are also disciplines, so all must do everything in accord with the health coverage. Proper lighting, good ventilation and hygienic practice can contribute to prevention of disease infection to some extent.
The Senior General urged them to take sports exercise and left necessary instructions on unity in the military units. At the local military hospital, the Senior General and party heard reports by the commandant of the hospital on brief history of the hospital, giving medical treatment, health care services of mobile medical specialist teams to the people and holding educative talks.
In response to the reports, the Senior General gave necessary instructions. Next, the Senior General cordially greeted and comforted the officers and other ranks receiving medical treatments at the hospital. After presenting foodstuffs to them, the Senior General viewed round the hospital.

Nirbhaya case: Activist writes to Smriti Irani to declare execution day as 'Rape Prevention Day'
New Delhi [India], Jan 16 (ANI): Yogita Bhayana founder of NGO PARI (People Against Rapes in India) on Thursday wrote a letter to Union Minister Smriti Irani, demanding to declare the day of execution of convicts of 2012 Delhi gang-rape case as the 'Rape Prevention Day'.
Bhayana in the letter said that on the day of execution, one daughter of India will get justice, however, there are many who long for the same.
"This decade has seen some of the heinous rape incidents, from Nirbhaya to Unnao to Kathua to many who couldn't make it to the news hour debates. Although, these incidents have brought one positive change." the letter said.
The letter said that the awareness created amongst the masses is contagious. We, the people of India, have united in the war against rapes in the country, with a vision to create a sensitive society so that every woman in India can live without fear.
"The goal is lofty and the road to victory is long, yet we cannot give up. The execution should not be seen as an end to a case but should mark a new era in India. Hence, I propose to declare the day as "Rape Prevention Day"," the letter added.
Bhayana said that such naming shall help every Indian to understand what Nirbhaya and her family had endured and reaffirmed their vow to the vision of a rape free India.
The activist also said that the execution day is no ordinary day as it shall end the ordeals of a mother who fought like a lioness to seek justice for her daughter.
This day shall bring hope to all those who had pinned their hopes on the apex court of the land to set a precedent against rapes in India. This day, hopefully, Nirbhaya, who could not live to see it, shall heave a sigh of relief in heavens above us. (ANI)

Wish Nehru had acted to Churchill's call

He was awarded the prestigious "top 100 young business leaders" award by CNBC TV18 and Dare2Compete.

"Profit ? It's a dirty word."
-Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India
Those were indeed the words of Jawaharlal Nehru. Considerable hatred towards business and commerce later on became the nucleus of India's lacklustre economic performance. Immediately after independence, our policy makers majorly included people who preached and practiced the communist manifesto. Just to tell, GD Birla and Jamsetji Tata who were considered as Business Maharajas of that time were not even included in the construing the future India.
In the decade of 1930s, Nehru gave pompous speeches in Europe claiming that he could see a USSR's socialism as an utopian economy model; whereas, Japan's capitalist model as a cannibalistic philosophy of governance. However, in the present day Japan is not only a much robust economy than USSR, but it is also one of the strongest in the world. Japan has become the "ASIAN TIGER"; on the contrary, Kremlin is firmly controlled by KGB (The Economist).
The lack of foresight in choosing the correct philosophy of economic planning costed India at least a good 15 years in her history. Communism also killed the economy of West-Bengal. After independence, Bengal was endowed with clusters that made it the most preferable location for businesses in India. However, to Bengal's misery it was also endowed with pestiferous rule of the communist party. Communist party always had the trade unions as its strong lobby group. The uneasiness and regular rifts in Bengal's external environment drove the industries outside the state to another state (Maharashtra) that today contributes the maximum to Indian GDP.
With no efforts towards economic robustness in the periodical planning, India suffered continuous deficits in its Balance of Payment. There wasn't anyone who was acting as if they wanted "good" for Indian Economy. To some extent there were efforts made in 1970 with the devaluation of the Indian rupee. Initial results were good as India recorded her first BOP Surplus in 1971-72. India recorded her second and last surplus in the year 1976-77. The first transformational change in Indian Economy happened in 1991, when the IMF decided to aid Indian Economy by "Aid India" consortium package. It will be unfair, if Manmohan Singh weren't to be praised for the revolutionary change in the New Economic Policy. The former Indian Prime Minister played a masterstroke with periodic devaluation of Indian Rupee. Although, the devaluation did make exports a fascinating proposition, the government lacked institutional framework.
If you were to look at the economic model of any developed country today, it gradually phased away from primary sector towards manufacturing. However, UPA government decided to make India as an erratic economy. Without any rationale, we decided to become a service economy. Basically, we wanted to challenge the narrative of economic development with the only economy in the world that will gain its significance with a move from primary to the service sector. The same aberrant model followed by UPA is today taken up as case studies by top institutions for economics around the world as an asynchronous event.
India has really come out of years of poor economic planning; in fact, deplorable economic planning. Make in India is one such programme. Usually, countries need to maintain a balance in its BOP accounts. The current account is mostly in a deficit; its deficit is offset by the international forces of global financial markets. For instance, USA offsets is high deficit against China with high amount of capital investment made by people and institutions of China into financial markets of USA. However, India always lacked such a synchronised effort towards offsetting the deficits in trade. The focus of Make in India is to attract FDI from other countries into India. Therefore, if anyone tells you that Make in India is not being promoted in India is ascertaining a very important premise for the programme – Make in India needs to be advertised in international locations, but not in India. Indian government even hired Widen+ Kennedy, an American advertisement agency, to promote the lion outside India.
There has to be a sustained effort by the government towards enfranchising the economic forces in the country. Such economic liberation is clearly visible. Around the time of our independence, Winston Churchill quoted something about socialism. I wish that Nehru had acted on that quote – :
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
– Winston Churchill, The Prime Mister of Britain at the time of India's independence.

The Tutor The People Interview Series is an ongoing discussion with people from all walks of life within the medical field. During this series, we speak with premeds, med students, doctors, residents, and more to learn thought-provoking and valuable insight into the world of medicine. Today, we're chatting with Ben, a PGY-3 in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Ben offers a unique insight into his experience growing up as a Navy brat and his path toward becoming an MD.
TTP: Hi Ben! Thank you for sharing your insight in our TTP Interview Series! Tell us all about yourself. What did you study in undergrad? Did you always know you wanted to go into medicine?
Ben: Hi all! I grew up as a Navy brat, bouncing from city to city and country to country. I say I'm from Virginia as I attended high school in Norfolk, Virginia. I then matriculated to the University of Virginia for undergraduate. At U.Va I majored in economics and minored in history. It wasn't until midway through my second year of college I realized I wanted to be a physician. Thus I crammed all of my premed classes into my third year of college.
TTP: Yikes. All premed classes into one year!? You're brave. Where did you attend medical school?
Ben: I attended the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) at Virginia Commonwealth University for medical school.
TTP: How did you choose MCV medical school? What made it stand out as the right fit?
Ben: When picking medical schools I was pretty focused on remaining in Virginia to obtain in-state tuition. Thus my choices were limited to MCV, U.Va, EVMS, and Carillion. In evaluating the schools, my focus was on attending the school where I felt the clinical experience would be the strongest. I was lucky enough to be a scribe in the U.Va emergency department during my fourth year of college. This role exposed me to numerous residents at U.Va ranging from emergency medicine to surgical residents who rotated through the ED. In interacting with these residents it stood out to me that the residents who attended MCV were especially strong clinically compared to their peers. This had a marked effect on me and MCV became my number one choice for medical school.
TTP: That's great you were able to engage with the medical community and get hands-on experience prior to applying. What was the most difficult part of applying to medical school for you? The MCAT or the application process?
Ben: The most difficult part for me was waiting until I was midway through college to apply to medical school. Not only did that mean cramming all of my premed classes into my third year of college, but I also needed to find ways to gain valuable clinical experience to bolster my resume. In addition to various volunteer jobs at the U.Va medical center, I was also very lucky to have a friend recommend working as a scribe in the ED. This work proved to be invaluable for my medical school application. It also provided me an with a head start in medical school in regards to general medical knowledge.
TTP: Yes, working as a scribe, you learn so much that really helps set the stage for MS-1. Tell us more about finishing medical school. How many days of sleep do you think it would take you to catch up?
Ben: Haha, I tended to pull all-nighters before all of my tests 1st and 2nd year, so a fair number of days. Once I reached the clinical phase of medical school though, I worked pretty hard on every rotation to ensure I obtained an adequate amount of sleep.
TTP: That is so important. And I bet your sleep improved your performance during the clinical phase. How was the Match process for you? Did your medical school provide ample support, or did you have to rely on online research?
Ben: The match overall was a fun process. I had a ton of support from my school, our Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Wolebon, is phenomenal at providing preparation and support for the Match process. Beginning my first year of medical school, he began providing advice on what steps I needed to take to match into the specialty of my choice. In regards to the overall Match process, I felt assembling the application and the sheer expense of the process were the worst parts. The interview process was a lot of fun. It is a good excuse to travel to a bunch of cities you may have never been to. It also allows you to meet a ton of talented and eager people who you will end up interacting with throughout your career.
TTP: The necessary evil of application expenses. We all hope it will one day pay off. So what year resident are you now? How's the residency routine? Are you able to connect with attendings often?
Ben: I'm in year 3 of 5 now. Typically in an orthopaedic surgery residency, your "hardest" year is your second year rather than your intern year, so it is nice to be in my 3rd year. In regards to any sort of routine, that word may be a misnomer for anyone in a surgical field. My schedule is constantly changing, sometimes as frequently as on a weekly basis, typically driven by the rotation I am on. As I write this I am on a week of pediatric orthopaedic surgery nights and I will flip back to daytime work on Saturday. Thus, you simply get used to a little bit of chaos at all times. You plan vacations months to a year in advance and you try to take advantage of any free time you have. As far as connecting with attendings, our attendings are almost universally approachable and easy to connect with, especially if you have a shared interest. Within our program we as residents work out, tailgate, attend yoga, play basketball, grab drinks and dinner, etc with our attendings.
TTP: Yes, I love how you say "simply get used to a little bit of chaos at all times." That is an invaluable skill. I'm sure the ability to manage chaos is crucial to succeeding as a resident. And it is so wonderful to hear about the supportive activities between the attendings and residents. A little bit of fun, a little bit of games. These are smart team-building exercises outside of the hospital, that must help your interactions inside of it. What are some of our favorite (free) online resources for all things medical related?
Ben: Since I am in orthopaedic surgery, my favorite free online medical resources are Orthobullets.com and the AO surgery reference cell phone/iPad application. Orthobullets provides a nice, brief overview of pretty much any topic in orthopaedic surgery. And the AO surgery reference is a helpful free review of various techniques for orthopaedic trauma cases. It is also really nice to download books such as "Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery" onto your phone/iPad, but that book and similar detailed technique books are expensive.
TTP: Great tips! It would probably be equally smart for any prospective Ortho residents to check out these resources. Let's end on an inspiring note. Have any tips that you would offer for premeds?
Ben: Make sure you're having fun throughout your training. From the pre-med process through medical school and into residency it is a long haul overall to complete your training. Thus, make sure you are surrounded by people you love and make sure you dedicate all of your free time to those people and activities you enjoy. There will always be more tests, more successes, more failures, and new goals to achieve so you need to enjoy the experience at every level!

These slides were presented at the Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance (ESOOS) Program Overview Partner meeting, led by CDC and organized by ASTHO in March of 2019.
This fact sheet, developed by the Network for Public Health Law and published August 29, 2018, summarizes Ohio's laws to combat the opioid overdose crisis.
Read more about this resource at https://www.networkforphl.org/resources_collection/2018/08/29/1027/naloxone_access_and_overdose_good_samaritan_law_in_ohio?blm_aid=193546.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) rates have tripled for Missouri residents in the past three years. NAS is a condition infants suffer soon after birth due to withdrawal after becoming opioid-dependent in the womb. NAS has significant immediate health concerns and can have long term effects on child development and quality of life.
Like many other states in the U.S., Missouri has experienced large increases in opioid abuse resulting in hundreds dying each year and thousands of ED visits due to overdose. Missouri has two major urban areas, St. Louis and Kansas City and a few smaller cities, while the remainder of the state is more rural in nature. The opioid epidemic has impacted all areas in the state but the magnitude of that impact varies as well as the type of opioid used.
Philadelphia is in the midst of a drug epidemic that killed 702 Philadelphians in 2015, 907 in 2016, and is on trajectory to kill 1,200 in 2017. Opioids are involved in the majority of fatal overdoses, contributing to 80% of overdose deaths in 2016. In 2016, the age-adjusted death rate for opioid-involved overdoses was 40.4 deaths per 100,000 residents, up from 17.9 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2010.
At the Governor's Opioid Addiction Crisis Datathon in September 2017, a team of Booz Allen data scientists participated in a two-day hackathon to develop a prototype surveillance system for business users to locate areas of high risk across multiple indicators in the State of Virginia. We addressed 1) how different geographic regions experience the opioid overdose epidemic differently by clustering similar counties by socieconomic indicators, and 2) facilitating better data sharing between health care providers and law enforcement.
Opioid ODs have been rising globally and nationally. The death rate from ODs in the United States has increased 137% since 2000, including a 200% increase of OD deaths involving opioids1. The pilot project, a collaboration across 3 states, allowed information sharing with Syndromic surveillance (SyS) partners across jurisdictions, such as sharing a standard SyS case definition and verifying its applicability in each jurisdiction. This is a continuation of the work from an initial pilot project presented during the ISDS Opioid OD Webinar series.
In 2016, twelve states received Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance grants. The purpose of the grant is to explore enhanced data sources to track nonfatal opioid overdoses. One data source is ambulance runs. Wisconsin collects ambulance run information within the Wisconsin Ambulance Runs Data System (WARDS). Around 84% of all Wisconsin administrative services report into this electronic system.

Governor Lujan Grisham Sets June 1 For Thousands Of More Businesses To Reopen With Restrictions
Posted on May 22, 2020 by
On Wednesday, May 5, Governor announced that on June 1, service industry businesses will be allowed to start reopening. Dine-in restaurant services, salons, gyms, malls and other services will be allowed to re-open with restrictions. During the Wednesday briefing, the Governor said that as of May 20, the state has made steady progress in fighting the corona virus to allow the openings. In making the announcement, the Governor said:
"We might come to you even earlier, but right now we want you to know… there's nothing that we're seeing, even though we had an increase in cases today largely related to a high-risk area, that we aren't going to get to our targets exactly when we should. "
The Governor and Dr. David Scrase, Human Services Secretary, both emphasized to keep moving forward and allow for the business reopening, there is still a need for everyone to take necessary precautions such as wearing masks and social distancing. Everything can change and businesses could be order to close again if the public fails to follow the social distancing rules.
Dr. Scrase released data showing most regions are seeing a decline in the corona virus while the northwest part of the state continues to see an increase in reported cases. Scrase also reported that according to the CDC guidelines New Mexico is one of only two states that are on track to go onto Phase 1. Despite all the progress being made by New Mexico, Dr. Scrase still emphasized the need for caution by saying:
"If we jumped out of a plane with a parachute on and we're descending and drifting toward earth and slowing down but still 1,000 feet above… we would not conclude its time to take off the parachute. It would be time to continue that slow descent and prepare for a landing in a COVID positive world"
During the May 20 news conference, the governor pointed out that El Paso, Texas is still seeing a surge in cases that could spread into New Mexico. El Paso is seeing more hospitalizations due to the virus. The governor said New Mexicans who travel to El Paso raise their own risk of infection and spreading the disease.
RESUMING CHURCH SERVICES EASIER SAID THAN DONE
On Wednesday, May 13, Governor Michell Lujan Grisham announced that New Mexico all retail business, with a few exceptions, could operate at 25% capacity. Lujan Grisham also said that churches and houses of worship would be able to meet in person as long as they restrict in-person attendance to 25% of each building's capacity as set by the fire marshal.
Notwithstanding being allowed to, resuming church services is easier said than done. A few Albuquerque-area congregations said despite the new rules, they are not yet ready to open thier doors.
Paul Murphy, the interim lead pastor for Hope Church, a congregation in the Albuquerque Northeast Heights, said that in pre-virus times the church had about 600 people attend its two Sunday morning services. However, Hope Church is not rushing to resume in-person services.
According to Ryan Bestelmeyer, the lead pastor of Refuge Church which has a congregation about 300 people said the mask requirement would be particularly difficult to enforce at his church which is attended by many families with young children. Bestelmeyer said he intends to send out recorded services online rather than relaunch in person services.
Sagebrush Church, has a congregation of between 14,000 and 15,000 people with several locations in Albuquerque and elsewhere across the state. Sagebrush has not set a reopening date for its in-person services. According to Church Spokesman Eric Williams, enforcement of social distancing and mask wearing could be too problematic. As a result, Sagebrush Church will continue to do services online.
CATHOLIC CHURCH ARCHDIOCESE GUIDELINES
Catholic Church Archbishop of Santa Fe John Wester issued guidelines for all catholic churches throughout the state for resuming in-person services. Those guidelines are as follows:
People over age 60, those with compromised immune systems, and anyone concerned about being infected with the COVID-19 virus should stay home.
Congregants must keep a distance of six feet from one another in all directions, and pews may be roped off. Members of the same family may sit together.
No handshaking or contact between people or families during church services is allowed.
Anyone over age 3 must wear a face covering except when they are speaking.
Cleaning staff are to disinfect commonly touched surfaces after each Mass, including pews, chairs, lecterns, door handles and rails. Restrooms are to be disinfected after each liturgy.
No open holy water should be present in churches.
Hymnals, missalettes and other prayer books should be removed.
There will be no congregational singing except by the cantor and one instrumentalist.
Collection baskets will not be passed and congregants are encouraged to use online giving.

MINIMIZE THE SPREAD
The Lujan Grisham Administration and state health officials say all New Mexican's can do their part and should practice the following:
Stay home except for work, urgent needs or emergencies.
Wear a cloth face covering whenever you venture out in public.
Keep at least 6-feet of physical distance from others in public spaces.
Do not congregate in groups of more than 5 at parks and on hikes.
Support local businesses. See buynmlocal.com on line.
Help your neighbors by offer to shop for groceries if you can using personnel protection practices, make face coverings for others if you have extra fabric or other resources.

UPDATED CORONA VIRUS CASES
On Thursday, May 21, the New Mexico Health Department announced that 11 more New Mexicans have died amid the coronavirus pandemic resulting in the death toll now at 294. Health officials also said testing has confirmed 163 additional cases of the virus resulting in a total of 6,472. The new cases include 19 state inmates at the Otero County Prison and 40 new cases in Doña Ana County, which borders Texas.
SPECIAL SESSION DATE ANNOUNCED
During her May 20 press conference, Governor Lujan Grisham announced that June 18 will be the start for a special legislative session. The session is required to deal with the state's deficit and to adjust the state budget amid a major hit to expected revenue related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the collapse in oil prices. The governor hopes to reach bipartisan agreement on financial measures and wrapping up the session in a few days.
By all accounts, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is doing a better job than most Governor's in the country to get a handle on the pandemic in New Mexico and taking the necessary steps to protect all New Mexicans. The approach Governor Michelle Lujan has taken is to first move aggressively to close down New Mexico and she now being cautious about lifting the restrictions to deal with the crisis. The clear and unmistakable message Governor Lujan delivered with the limited opening of the state is that all of what she has ordered is indeed "flattening the curve".
The state is making significant progress, but we still have a long way to go given the fact that increases in cases is still occurring. New Mexico is now inching closer to reopening over perhaps the next 2 months.The Governor has sent the clear message that in a real sense, it's all on use to make sure we do are part and follow the social distancing rules. Otherwise, if there is a major spike in diagnosed cases, the state could be close once again.

Detroit Pistons continue to roll with 105-92 win at New York Knicks
|87352|
By JEFFREY BERNSTEIN
NEW YORK — All the roster changes aren't helping the New York Knicks get any wins.
Blake Griffin scored 29 points and Andre Drummond finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds as the Detroit Pistons handed the Knicks their 14th straight loss, 105-92 on Tuesday night.
New York., featuring a starting lineup with three new players, also lost at home for a franchise-record 15th straight game.
"The second night of a back-to-back, obviously coming off a big win (against Denver) and we got a lot of momentum, too," Griffin said. "It's important to come out and not take any team lightly and come out and just execute, let our execution take care of the game for us."
Reggie Bullock and Reggie Jackson each added 19 points for the Pistons.
Newcomers Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Mathews, who were acquired from Dallas in the Kristaps Porzingis trade last Thursday, all started for the Knicks in their second game with the team.
Smith scored 25 points and added six assists, Jordan had eight points and eight rebounds, and Mathews finished with nine points and five assists.
Griffin scored 14 points in the first quarter as the Pistons, who never trailed, led by as many as 12.
The Knicks pulled to 43-42 on Allonzo Trier's layup with 8:07 left in the second. But Detroit scored the next six points to go up 63-54 at halftime.

The Ateneo Garden Palace has an enviable position in central Rome, in the San Lorenzo district, one of the liveliest neighbourhoods in Rome.
Walking through you can feel as though you are not in a large city, but in a town unto itself, where everything is more manageable for people. It is considered a university neighbourhood, but it is in fact attractive to all tastes: here you can find typical and ethnic restaurants, fashionable locations, art galleries and characteristic shops.

As always, time seems to be flying and I haven't been doing the greatest job at updating the blog! We've been enjoying our September so far and have been having lots of end of summer beautiful weather before the cold is here to stay for awhile!
Ells also started speech recently! While she (somewhat surprisingly) tested within the average range for her age, she was taken in for a six month program because her auditory understanding was on the tippity top of the range while her verbal expression was on the low. We get a little bit of "homework" every week and it's very much a learning process for all of us, but we are so excited for her and look forward to hearing everything she will soon be telling us!! Coincidentally or not, she has been very chatty lately, mostly with a handful of the same words over and over again, but has been adding some new ones here and there too. Also, she now almost always calls me "mommy!" instead of "mumma", which is just the cutest in my opinion. Note the exclamation point because she is ALWAYS YELLING.

Since insomnia is such a common problem, and many people are aware of the negative effects of the medications prescribed for insomnia, we're often asked about natural supplements for insomnia.
There are two herbs or supplements that have the best data supporting their effectiveness. Both appear to be safe but have modest effectiveness.
In addition several other treatments have some data to support their effectiveness, but the quality of that data is poorer and there may be safety issues as well.
Valerian has a long traditional use for insomnia, and today it is an accepted over-the-counter drug for insomnia in Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and Italy.
Valerian is most commonly recommended as an aid for occasional insomnia. However, the results of the largest and best designed study suggest that it may be more useful for long-term improvement of sleep (Vorbach EU, Gortelmeyer R, Bruning J. Therapy for insomniacs: effectiveness and tolerance of valerian preparations [translated from German]. Psychopharmakotherapie. 1996;3:109-115.).
This 28-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed 121 people with histories of significant sleep disturbance. This study looked at the effectiveness of 600 mg of an alcohol-based valerian extract taken 1 hour before bedtime.
Valerian didn't work right away. For the first couple of weeks, valerian and placebo were running neck and neck. However by day 28, valerian had pulled far ahead. Effectiveness was rated as good or very good by participant evaluation in 66% of the valerian group and in 61% by doctor evaluation, whereas in the placebo group, only 29% were so rated by participants and doctors.
This study provides good evidence that valerian is effective for insomnia. However, it has one confusing aspect: the 4-week delay before effects were seen. In another study, valerian produced immediately noticeable effects on sleep (Leathwood PD, Chauffard F, Heck E, et al. Aqueous extract of valerian root ( Valeriana officinalisL.) improves sleep quality in men (Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1982;17:65-71), which is what most practitioners believe to be typical. Why valerian took so long to work in this one study has not been explained.
Other studies of valerian alone, or in combination with hops or melissa, have produced mixed results.(for the full discussion of the research I encourage you to subscribe to Consumer Lab and then go to their page on valerian).
In addition several other treatments have some data to support their effectiveness, but the quality of that data is poorer and there may be safety issues as well: 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan); Acupuncture or Acupressure; Ashwagandha; Astragalus; Biofeedback; Chamomile; He Shou Wu; Hops; Kava; Lady's Slipper Orchid; Passionflower; Relaxation Therapies; St. John's Wort; and Skullcap.
The body uses melatonin as part of the way it regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Levels of melatonin increase as light decreases (at night), usually peaking around bedtime, and decrease as light increases.
Taking melatonin as a supplement seems to stimulate sleep when the natural cycle is disturbed. The most common uses are to aid with jet lag or help people who have to adjust their schedule from time to time because of work, although a recent review suggested that it may be helpful for children with mild to moderate insomnia.
A major review published in 2001 concluded that melatonin was useful for jet lag (Herxheimer A, Petrie KJ. Melatonin for preventing and treating jet lag. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2001;(1):CD001520).
In addition, melatonin may be helpful for delayed sleep phase disorder (naturally going to sleep later than you need to).
Mixed results have been seen in studies involving the use of melatonin for swing-shift workers and for elderly individuals with insomnia. (for the full discussion of the research and the only independent analysis of specific melatonin products I encourage you to subscribe to Consumer Lab and then go to their page on melatonin).
Dosing for melatonin is quite variable. Consumer Lab recommends beginning with a very low dose (some people respond to doses as low as 0.3 mg) taken an hour before bed time and then gradually increasing the dose (up to 3 mg). If you don't respond to several nights at the 3 mg dose you are unlikely to get a benefit.
It is worth noting that while short term use appears safe, long term use can affect blood pressure, testosterone and estrogen levels, and may reduce bone strength.
Swanson Melatonin 1 mg – This is a useful form to take if you have tried melatonin in the past and know that 0.3 mg is unlikely to help. The usual dose is 1 mg an hour before bedtime for 2 – 3 nights and then increase, if necessary, up to a dose of 3 mg.
Life Extension Melatonin 300 mcg (0.3 mg) – Might be a good starting dose for those who are sensitive to supplements and want to minimize any morning hangover effect.
Source Naturals Timed Release Melatonin 3 mg – I you have trouble both with falling asleep and staying asleep this formulation may be useful, although melatonin is less useful for improving sleep continuity and there may be more of a hangover effect with timed release melatonin.

Admitad › Admitad news › 2021 in Review: Investments, Performance and Growth
2021 in Review: Investments, Performance and Growth
What an action-packed year 2021 was. It is not surprising – Admitad is in the process of constant transformation investing in business development, increasing its performance and developing new solutions for further business growth for the brands and partners we are working with. This year, our tools helped generate over $11.6 billion in sales, not to mention a successful revenue boost throughout the year. Let's recap what we've achieved in 2021 and what to expect in 2022.
2021 in numbers
We start 2022 with over 38 500 advertisers from affiliate and ad networks and more than 105 000 active publishers who work with the Admitad Affiliate network, Admitad ConvertSocial platform for content creators, Pampadu online insurance service, and the Admitad Monetize monetization services, and browser extensions platforms. Here's how Admitad's overall performance has grown in the last 365 days:
These numbers reflect sales and revenues generated from Admitad Affiliate, Admitad Monetize, Admitad ConvertSocial, Tapfiliate, Pampadu
Admitad continues expanding around the world; the company has recently opened an office in Chicago, USA, making it number nine in the list of our offices with a presence worldwide.
Our corporate startup studio Admitad Projects has been actively developing a number of promising projects. In its third year of running, the studio received over 2,000 applications for diverse innovative solutions and services. Over 900 ideas were tested, and over 500 million lines of codes were written during this time.
Newcomers to the Admitad family
We are building a global IT company that develops Partner Services, Monetization solutions, Account Management tools, Media Buying Services, and Smart Shopping solutions.
To be able to evaluate Admitad's prospects in the field of Smart Shopping, the company purchased the receipt scanning service CheckScan that later became a successful alumnus of the startup studio. Later this year, the company added to its assets the online insurance service Pampadu to expand Admitad's pool of businesses into partner services.
Lately, we have also launched ConvertSocial, a service aimed at content creators to monetize their social traffic and at brands and marketplaces to become an additional revenue stream. While ConvertSocial has been tested, and launched in its early operation, around 10K active influencers generated over $250 million in orders and received more than $5 million in payments using the new platform In 2022, ConvertSocial will continue to grow in the markets where Admitad actively operates and has its own office presence.
How is the team doing?
Our revamp and growth couldn't happen without our team. Currently, more than 900 highly skilled employees across the globe are making Admitad a great place to work at. Each one of them is contributing to our growing global success.
Alexander Bachmann, founder and CEO
This year, Admitad made a huge step to bolster employees' long-term motivation. 15% of the company's shares were allocated as stock options offered to top management and key specialists – the way to show how much hard-working talents are appreciated in the company.
Together in good and bad times can be truly applied to Admitad, too. The company continued operating its Support Fund, launched as early as Spring 2020 to help those employees whose families have been affected by the economic outcome of the pandemic such as job loss. Now, any employee can apply for help if they find themselves in a difficult situation, such as need for medical help, or in fact any challenging situation everyone might face at times.
At the end of 2021, we launched the Admitad HR portal which contains a list of all the company's job vacancies for all business streams at all locations, as well as the benefits of working at Admitad.
What 2022 holds
Of course, we will continue to grow, introduce the new business structure that we're actively incorporating at the moment, and invest into new businesses.
Admitad will actively expand both its geographical presence and its team. Right now, we look for people with the business-driven mindset to accelerate the company's growth in key regions. Our skilled developers team will provide all necessary support for such steps.
The year will bring us both new challenges and new opportunities, and we're happy that Admitad partners and customers will be able to master them with our solutions and services.
We wish all of our partners a happy, successful, and above all, healthy 2022!

Lyme disease a bioweapon gone awry? Rep. Chris Smith pushes Trump to investigate

Check out this story on app.com: https://www.app.com/story/news/local/communitychange/2019/05/30/lyme-disease-bitten-chris-smith/1212255001/
Jerry Carino, Asbury Park Press Published 7:31 a.m. ET May 30, 2019 | Updated 9:13 a.m. ET May 31, 2019
WALL - It was a sad sight, the mother of a 5-year-old with chronic Lyme disease practically begging for help because no doctor will treat her daughter.
"What can I do about this?" she asked U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, an air of desperation in her voice.
That was the tenor of Wednesday's Congressional Town Meeting on Lyme and tick-borne diseases. More than 200 people, most of them impacted by Lyme or a related ailment, came to hear Smith and his panel discuss the latest in a long-running battle to get chronic Lyme recognized by the medical establishment. You can hear Smith talk about Lyme disease in the video at the top of this story.

"Massive numbers of people are getting seriously ill from ticks and the federal response to date has been woefully inadequate," Smith said, later adding, "Never in my 39 years in Congress have I seen such pushback."
Upward of 300,000 Lyme cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S. More than half are children, and New Jersey is one of the hot spots. For many who are diagnosed promptly, the standard month-long course of antibiotics mitigates the illness. But detection is difficult, and for some the symptoms continue for months or years.

The influential Infectious Diseases Society of America has declined to recognize chronic Lyme in its clinical practice guidelines, so sufferers are left to find a "Lyme-friendly" doctor, which is not easy.
"I can't tell you how many times I've hit my head against a wall about this," Smith said, citing a litany of bills he sponsored that went nowhere because of what he calls "the flat-earth society" of insurance companies and their bedfellows in Congress.
Now Lyme advocates have a new weapon — an explosive book that alleges the epidemic spawned from an American biological warfare experiment gone awry — and Smith, a Republican whose districts stretches across parts of Monmouth, Ocean and Mercer counties, is appealing to President Donald Trump for action.

'A shocking read'
The book is "Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons" by Stanford University-based science writer Kris Newby. A chronic Lyme sufferer herself, Newby documents how the U.S. military infected ticks with complex, hard-to-detect pathogens in the 1960s. The book's linchpin is an interview with late scientist Willy Burgdorfer, who did the infecting and references an accidental release of weaponized ticks that might have ignited all of this.
The relationship between the experiments and the continued denial of chronic Lyme is something Smith would like to see explored further.
"If this (book) is true — and the documentation is very persuasive — we were doing bio-weapons work that was grossly immoral," Smith said in an interview with the Asbury Park Press prior to Wednesday's town meeting. "It's a shocking read, and I hope it adds to our push. Looking at what happened might help us come up with how we deal with it now."
He wrote a letter to that extent to President Trump and three inspectors general — of the departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Agriculture — requesting a "serious and comprehensive investigation" into the book's assertions.
"We owe it to the overwhelming number of patients currently suffering from Lyme disease," Smith wrote in the letter, dated May 14. "These individuals — and the American public — deserve to know the truth."
Although he has not received a formal response, Smith said his appeal got the attention of members of Trump's inner circle. If Congress won't act on his bipartisan bill (H.R. 220) to bump up funding for research — currently a measly $11 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and $28 million for the National Institutes of Health — he'd like to nudge Trump to enact changes via executive order.

'No one is helping them'
The blueprint for change is there. A federal working group that includes Wall resident and leading Lyme advocate Pat Smith handed Congress a report last year loaded with recommendations, most pressingly how to strengthen the testing process. It also includes patient stories, like that of an Air Force pilot who had to be mustered out of the service because of Lyme.
"It shows these patients really did have a problem and still do, because no one is helping them," said Pat Smith, who sat on Wednesday's panel. She was joined by Ben Beard of the CDC and Richard Horowitz, a Lyme-friendly doctor based in New York. Beard said the CDC is studying the relationship between tick bites and red-meat allergies, an emerging concern among Lyme advocates.
Chris Smith spoke of his own daughter, a mother of three and an avid runner, falling ill with chronic Lyme five years ago.
"She had brain fog and her joints hurt," he said. "She couldn't get out of bed."
He looks at the evidence in the book "Bitten," and in the federal working group's 105-page report, and sees fresh ammunition in the battle to recognize chronic Lyme.
"Just follow the science," he said. "People are getting sick."

When it comes down to affirmations for love, you are incorporating the power of the subconscious mind. Which thrives off of repetition. Whatever you say with certainty and do so over and over, you naturally bring that thing into your life.
We create everything that happens to us in our lives with this power that has been bestowed upon us.
So the more you affirm your self love affirmations, the more love and happiness will come into your existence. This is the basics of the law of attraction. What you think about, you bring about. Where your focus goes, energy flows.
It is a way to reinforce the positive. Because our minds are naturally negative. And unless we catch our thoughts or become aware of them, we will be co-piloted by negative thought patterns.
Positive love affirmations can help us reinforce entirely new thought patterns. Hence changing and transforming out lives in ever way, shape and form.
Many of our thought patterns based upon love are based upon what we believed during our childhood and developmental years.
And if we are being honest with each other, no one had a perfect childhood.
But by becoming conscious of these limiting beliefs, we can break these thought patterns with some or all of the positive love affirmations I offer you below.
But can the power of affirmations help anyone and everyone? Or is it only for certain people?
Well my friend, I believe that anyone can for the sheer fact of the matter that we ALL use affirmations already. Any thought that you dwelled upon is an affirmation.
For example if you really wanted something bad in your life, you dwelled upon it. So heavily sometimes that you started seeing things that were related to this goal or desire.
And the more you did this the more things like this showed up in your life. Then one day, it actually came into your life.
This is the use of affirmations. Positive or negative, we all use affirmations.
But with the list below, you can become confident in creating the love and loving relationships you want because you will be affirming it in a positive way. Hence creating more positivity in your life.

0005696: Shop waits for 5 minutes before rechecking if the page should be cached, which is incorrect in some cases.
It seems that the shop sometimes sends the header "Pragma: no-cache" or "Cache-Control: no-cache" for the startpage.
Why and in which circumstances does the shop's startpage sometimes/sporadically send the header "Pragma: no-cache" or "Cache-Control: no-cache"?
If one of the visitors gets error, for example http status code 500, for every other user content is not cached for 300s. So changed condition when beresp.status >= 400 than beresp.ttl is set to 0s.
