Q: How to write regular expression for this case? I want to write a regular expression in javascript to match the following valid scenarios. later on, If I have to extract using a group then I will be able to do so.
I have tried the below regex, but it not giving me the desired pattern.
/[0-9][+-[0-9]+]*/
Regex should be able to match the "Valid" scenarios.

// Valid

A: Looking at your samples, I feel what you want is a comma separated numbers where some of which can be ranged like 1-2 and also having optional spaces between them and also at start or end of string. Here is a regex you can use,
^\s*\d+(?:\s*-\s*\d+\s*)?(?:\s*,\s*\d+(?:\s*-\s*\d+)?)*\s*$

Explanation:

*

*^ - Start of string

*\s* - optional space at start of input

*\d+ - Matches one or more just number

*(?:\s*-\s*\d+\s*)? - This matches a ranged number like this -2 which can have spaces within it and ? at the end means ranged part is optional

*(?:\s*,\s*\d+(?:\s*-\s*\d+)?)* - This regex part ensures that the numbers can be comma separated and \d+(?:\s*-\s*\d+)? part in it enables numbers of 2-3 form where ? in it indicates that it can be just pure number without having ranged part and * whole of this can be zero or more times

*\s* - optional space at the end of input

*$ - end of input

When does a volunteer need a work permit?
September 11, 2018 Steve
When can visitors to Canada assist Canadian non-profits in a volunteer capacity? Can a charitable or religious worker obtain a work permit, and if so, must they be paid? This post describes some of the common issues faced by non-profits and volunteers.
WHEN DOES THIS COME UP?
This typically comes up when there is an individual who is stuck on visitor status, either while awaiting their spousal or common-law open work permit, while waiting for a program of study to start, or just while they are in Canada for a lengthy vacation. Such individuals have "visitor" status, which allows them to remain in Canada provided they do not engage in "work": an activity for which wages or commissions are paid, or that is in "direct competition" with Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
This captures both paid and unpaid work, or work where an honorarium is given in exchange for services. It captures agreements to pay in future, as well as capturing activities that a Canadian or permanent resident could perform for wages, but which are being performed by a volunteer (e.g. such as an unpaid bookkeeper position, or an unpaid reporter position for a newsletter — even though they are unpaid, it is still an entry into the labour market and the actual work should be paid). It also captures unpaid employment undertaken for the purpose of obtaining work experience, such as an internship or practicum normally done by a student.
This issue affects guest speakers, clergy and religious workers, and workers performing charitable functions, such as volunteering to build houses for the homeless or perform project work for a religious organization.
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?
Organizations that employ persons without verifying their authorization to work may be charged with an offence under s.124(1)(c) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: employing a foreign national in a capacity in which the foreign national is not authorized to be employed, with punishments up to $50,000 and two years in prison. The foreign national can receive a five year ban from Canada, or if they have a valid study or work permit but they are working outside its terms, a six month ban.
The requirement on the non-profit is to exercise due diligence as to whether or not the individual is authorized to "work" or volunteer in Canada. This post seeks to outline some circumstances where work or volunteer activities are acceptable, but note that it is not legal advice and is no substitute for the verification of an employee or volunteer's ability to work in Canada.
THE GENERAL RULE
The general rule is that visitors to Canada cannot work without a work permit, an authorization issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (formerly Citizenship and Immigration Canada). Work permits are difficult to obtain in many situations, or require wages to be paid, something many non-profits and charities either cannot afford or don't want the administrative hassle of organizing.
WHEN IS A VOLUNTEER NOT CONSIDERED "WORKING"?
Some occupations, however are work permit exempt; as are activities performed by visitors which do not have the characteristics of "work".
The following activities have been found not to be "work" for the purposes of Canadian immigration law:
Sweeping up at a church and participating in fundraising was not outright considered a competitive activity, but was noted that it might be depending on the circumstances: Pathoumvieng v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2011 FC 523;
Childcare provided for a friend for family member without payment (or the expectation of payment) is not considered to be work.
Directors entering Canada to attend meetings but not engage in the hands-on work of the non-profit are not considered to be working: See, for example Guieb v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), 2012 CanLII 61933 (CA IRB); Ozawa v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2010 FC 444
Far more activities have been found to be work, such as:
Undertaking an internship on an agreement to pay in future basis (e.g. working on a car lot, keeping track of hours, to be paid in future once work authorization issued, etc.);
Undertaking child care with the expectation of a gift or payment in future to compensate;
Directors and shareholders engaging in the hands-on day-to-day work of the organization, rather than just acting in a director or shareholder capacity; and
Attendance at the counter or store of a friend (to provide coverage for an ill friend), other than to say the store is closed.
In general, appropriate volunteer tasks for visitors have some of the following qualities:
No wage, commission, or honorarium is given or expected;
There is no future promise of employment or paid work
NB: This should be the case in all volunteer activities, to avoid disappointment of the volunteer and an employment contract arising;
The activities does not compete with Canadian or permanent residents — if it is done, it should be a discreet tasks, not an entire job (e.g. sweeping the floor after a church service is acceptable once a week, but providing daily janitorial services may be going to far). Use your best judgement.
WHAT ABOUT WORK PERMIT EXEMPTIONS?
Clergy, which include members of a religious order preaching doctrine, are work permit exempt. Commercial speakers and guest lecturers are work permit exempt. In general, these only apply to short-entry periods. Directors and members who are coming into Canada for meetings but are not entering into the day to day work of the organization are work permit exempt. Judges of competitions (sports, fairs, etc.) are also work permit exempt. A full list is available online.
WHAT ABOUT CLOSED WORK PERMITS FOR THE NON-PROFIT, CHARITY?
Charitable and Religious Workers can obtain work permits, which allow them to work for pay and for free. IRCC guidance provides the following useful definitions as to who is a "volunteer" and who is a "charitable" worker:
A volunteer worker, whose activity is incidental to their main purpose for entering Canada and does not meet the definition of work, does not require a work permit (e.g., being a Big Brother or Big Sister to a child, being on the telephone line at a crisis centre, canvassing for donations). A charitable worker usually takes a position involving an activity that meets the definition of work and requires a work permit because they are participating in a competitive activity or are being paid wages (e.g., group home worker, carpenter for Habitat for Humanity).
Charitable work is that which can be tied to a head of charity: advancement of education or religion; relief of poverty; and other purposes beneficial to the community. Border services officers will consider the specific duties performed by the foreign national, based on a list of factors in IRCC guidance.
Religious work should reflect a particular religious objective, such as providing religious instruction or promoting a particular faith. It is not a requirement that the applicant be a member of the faith of the particular religious institution. The work should involve advancing the spiritual teachings of a religious faith as well as maintaining the doctrines and spiritual observances on which those teachings are based.
Unpaid positions are eligible for the Employer Compliance Filing Fee exemption (this is an online filing required for an employer to hire a foreign national and obtain a work permit). Charitable and religious workers may be paid but are not fee exempt. If they intend to apply for permanent residence in future based on the work experience, note that they must be paid under the current law for the Canadian work to count towards their Express Entry or other scores. Consult an immigration lawyer or regulated Canadian immigration consultant for more information.
WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS, YOUTH AND WORKERS?
Students. This is less of an issue for students with study permits. Provided the student is in full-time studies, they may work up to 20 hours per week off campus, and if they are on a study period break (such as summer), they may work full-time. If the organization is based on campus (such as an inter-faith chapel, club, student radio station, or newspaper), there is no permit required.
Youth often come to Canada either on a Working Holiday (which grants them an open work permit) or on a Young Professional or Co-op program. It depends on their nationality as to what programs are available. A full list is available online. For Working Holiday, typically it is under 30 and a lottery is held to determine who can apply. For Young Professional and Co-op, eligibility is dependent on a job offer which requires an Employer Compliance Filing.
Workers with open work permits also have less to worry about. A worker with an open work permit can do any volunteer task, provided it is not "healthcare" oriented which requires a medical exam.
Note that a worker with a closed work permit (not for the charity or non-profit) can volunteer in a non-"work" capacity as a visitor would.
WHAT ABOUT SPOUSES / COMMON-LAW PARTNERS?
Spouses and common-law partners of those foreign nationals with work or study permits may be eligible for an open work permit, provided their spouse or common-law partner has at least six months of validity on their permit and depending on the profession of their spouse or common-law partner, if a worker.
Spouses and common-law partners who are members of the in-Canada family class application stream may be eligible for an open work permit, provided they have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and a complete sponsorship application. Information is available online.

Shell museum reopens doors with new protocols in place
PHOTO PROVIDED The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum reopened to the public on May 23.
After closing over two months ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum reopened its doors to visitors over the weekend with new safety measures in place.
On March 17, the museum temporarily closed as a precautionary step to limit the spread of the coronavirus. During the closure, it maintained a limited number of staffers to maintain the building's operation and to ensure the welfare of nearly 500 living mollusks that are part of a new exhibit.
"By the time we reopen, we will have been closed for about 10 weeks," Chief of Museum Operations Colleen Donnelly said last week. "We had somebody here every day taking care of our animals."
Only 16 days before closing its doors in response to COVID-19, the museum had unveiled its new living exhibit, "Beyond Shells: The Mysterious World of Mollusks." The recent addition consists of 11 aquarium exhibits, two 15-foot-long touch tanks, and interactive interpretive exhibits on mollusks.
Donnelly reported that in addition to taking care of the new animals during the closure, other departments also kept busy. The education staff worked on developing programs and activities for when the museum did reopen and into the summer, including outdoor and indoor things to do.
Staff also worked on new policies and procedures to put in place upon reopening.
"We were able to do some deep cleaning and maintenance projects," she added. "It was an opportunity to prepare for reopening and to prepare for going forward in the next few months with reopening."
A big part of the reopening discussions and planning was what the museum's goal was.
"It is an opportunity for visitors and staff to really feel safe in the building while getting out of their homes," Donnelly said, adding that the museum took the island chamber's SanCap Safe pledge.
New safety measures implemented in light of COVID-19 include constant cleaning and sanitizing throughout the museum and daily checklists for staffers for cleaning and disinfecting duties. Safety or sneeze shields have been installed at the front desk and in the gift shop to protect staff and visitors.
Occupancy is limited to 50 percent, and protective face masks are mandatory.
"We will be limiting the number of guests at any one time," she said. "We are going to require our visitors and staff to wear masks at all times – it is part of the SanCap Safe pledge we took."
Hospital-strength hand sanitizer stations have been added throughout the museum, with a hand-washing station set up at the aquariums exhibit. Social distancing is encouraged for everyone.
"We focused a lot on our signage," Donnelly said, explaining that visitors will see different types of signage than normally found. "We are going to open with a one-way trail through the museum."
Along the marked route are stop points with reminders to social distance and wash hands.
Staff also looked at the hands-on features inside the museum, such as vending machines, water foundations and parts of some exhibits in the Great Hall of Shells, and shut them down. Visitors are still able to access those exhibits; they just cannot turn or spin any "hands-on" features of them.
"Our touch pools and aquariums will be open as usual," she said.
It is also not selling water bottles, but hands-free bottle filling stations are available.
"Visitors are encouraged to bring a water bottle or thermos," Donnelly said.
In addition, credit cards and memberships are only being accepted for entry.
"We are not accepting cash, at least for the time being," she said.
As for programming, the museum made some changes as well, including moving many programs outside to allow for proper social distancing. For the popular shell crafting program, visitors can no longer make the craft onsite. Instead, staff have created craft kits for visitors to take home and do.
Held at 2 p.m., the following outdoor programs are planned:
– Monday: Mollusk Reproduction Talk
– Tuesday: Mollusk Trivia with prizes
– Wednesday: CSI Mollusks
– Thursday: Camouflage Talk
– Friday: Mollusk Bingo with prizes
– Saturday: Invasive Mollusks Talk
– Sunday: Venomous Mollusks Talk
The featured movies are being shown in both auditoriums at the same time.
"To spread people out and allow for social distancing for the seats," Donnelly said.
In addition, the paper scavenger hunts are not available.
"We put them online," she said. "When visitors come in, they can access them on their own handheld devices."
One new activity created as a result of COVID-19 is a story walk along an outdoor trail. Donnelly explained that a staff member wrote a story about land snails, which is featured along the path.
"Visitors can stop at each stake and read a page of the story, and then move on to the next stake," she said. "It's really encouraging literacy, but also education and being active and getting outside."
The museum and its staff are excited to welcome back visitors.
"We just want to make sure we do it in the safest way possible for them and our staff," Donnelly said.
The museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information, visit www.shellmuseum.org or call 239-395-2233.
Officials reported that a substantial shortfall in revenue is expected this year due to the temporarily closure, so all donations are appreciated. To donate, visit donorbox.org/bmnsm-covid-19.
The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum is at 3075 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel.

The Other Side of Animation 139: Summer Wars Review
September 10, 2018 September 10, 2018 camseyeview Film Reviews	Caitlin Glass, Christopher Sabat, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Funimation, Japanese Animation, Japanese film, John Swasey, Mamoru Hosoda, Michael Sinterniklaas, Mirai, Patrick Seitz, Summer Wars
(If you like what you see, you can go to camseyeview.biz to see more of my work on video game reviews, editorials, lists, Kickstarters, developer interviews, and review/talk about animated films. If you would like, consider contributing to my Patreon at patreon.com. It would help support my work, and keeps the website up. Thanks for checking out my work, and I hope you like this review!)
A fun part about tackling animated films is that you get to go through the director's entire history of work, and see when certain parts of their craftsmanship start to pop up. That's the entertaining part to watch an artist evolve. For example, today's review will be a film that I think truly showed the colors of the creator, Summer Wars. Yes, we are dipping back into the filmography of Mamoru Hosoda with his second film after The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It was released back in 2009 in Japan, but came over to the states in 2010. While he has done film and anime projects before Summer Wars, to me, it's the film that encapsulates a lot of the details that Hosoda would use in his future films. Let's dive in, shall we?
The story follows a teen male named Kenji Koiso, dubbed by Michael Sinterniklaas. He's a math-savvy teen, who helps moderate part of this massive online world known as Oz, where you can do anything from socialize, play games, and even use it for real business. While working alongside his friend, Kenji ends up taking an offer from a female student named Natsuki Shinohara, dubbed by Brina Palencia. She asks Kenji to come with her to this huge family summer get-together to celebrate the 90th birthday of her grandmother. The catch is that he has to be her boyfriend/soon-to-be husband to impress her grandmother. Unfortunately, while meeting the large family of rather likable individuals, a virus gets loose into Oz, and causes massive world-wide chaos, and the virus plans to launch powerful missiles on power plants to cause widespread destruction. This is on top of also having to deal with the family drama of an illegitimate grandson, who may be behind the virus. Can Kenji balance this all out?
Let's talk about the elephant in the room with this film. No, it's not the fact that the script does has some choice words bashing the US, nor is it it the fact that, at first, the female lead is kind of terrible, because if a guy did what she did with forcing him to go along for a huge charade, the world would have rioted. It's the fact that Mamoru Hosoda, in all of his infinite wisdom, basically remade an earlier work of his that was essentially the infamous Digimon Movie. Or, if we want to be more specific, one of the Digimon specials he directed. Yeah, it's hard not to see Hosoda simply taking a bunch of the plot elements, like the virus, the nukes, and the bunny fixation in this film. The world of Oz looks like how the internet looks in the Digimon Movie, with the blank white open space and gears/Ferris wheel motif. It's like he took a look at the reviews and ridicule the Digimon Movie got because of how Fox cut it up, and decided to give the middle finger to the US release of his work, and made it better. It's not a major negative, but it's a negative none the less.
Like I said above, while she becomes more endearing as the film goes on, I found Natsuki to be annoying. Instead of just bringing Kenji to her family celebration, she forces him to lie to her family on a rather large scale, and then doesn't get why the family doesn't like this one illegitimate grandson. I can understand if this is how teens are, and I get not wanting to worry your grandparents about your future. I'm sure I'm missing a couple of cultural aspects of her reasons behind her actions, but it took a bit for me to warm up to her. She becomes more endearing when time goes on, but you have to stick with it. It just seems like if this was a role reversal, people would be calling this out more. While I love the family that this film focuses on, they aren't all fully fleshed out. I don't remember half of their names, and some of them are just annoying and don't interact with the others to be aware of what's going on. At two separate points, three family members cause the situation to get worse. Sure, you can write it off as two of them being obnoxious kids, but one of them is a police officer, and he doesn't talk to the family members that are trying to take down the evil virus that could kill them? Like, it's not a plot hole, but it seems like lazy writing.
I know it sounds like I'm trashing this movie, but I do really love it. I have a lot of positives to say about it. As usual with Hosoda's animation, it's beautifully crafted, grounded, and the designs are all super appealing to look at. The online world also gives the film a good excuse to make fun avatar designs that I think fit each person in the film perfectly. This is also a major point of where we can see his amazing eye for up-close combat. The fighting in this film is gorgeous, with fluid and realistic movements. It gets a bit more absurd when you enter the online world, but it still doesn't negate the force you feel from the punches and kicks. While you are technically watching a bunch of people sit around and look at a bunch of screens, you are still kept invested with what's going on online and offline. It's fairly nice to see a film that's about technology not be an anti-internet or anti-technology message that anime unfortunately loves to do. Listen, technology has made some pretty horrible things, and made gateways for toxic and horrible people to spread their toxic roots all over the world. However, technology has also done wonders, and has connected us in many ways. It's not just one-sided, in terms of tackling the commentary about Oz and its use by most people around the world. I also liked the dub cast. While the original Japanese version used accurately aged actors to voice their animated counterparts, and you lose that when Funimation uses a bunch of adults for everything, I still like the English dub. As usual, to play every moody male teen these days, you have Michael Sinterniklaas, and a slew of other incredible talents, like Mike McFarland, Patrick Seitz, Christopher Sabat, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Caitlin Glass, John Swasey, and many more. To me, this was the film where Hosoda started to really use his family motif in his films. While you might not remember everyone's name, the characters truly feel like a family.
It's not Hosoda's best film, and it probably apes too much off of his previous work for its own good, Summer Wars is still a visually stunning, heartfelt, and entertaining movie about technology and family. While there is a normal version of this film available from Funimation, they recently made a special edition for Hosoda's other films like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, up to The Boy and the Beast. If you haven't picked up this wonderful film already, I recommend picking up that special version. This just makes me super excited for Hosoda's new film, Mirai coming out this year. Now then, we are onto the next review, and we will be tackling what might be China's most ambitious, visually pretty, and busiest animated feature. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed the review, and I will see you all next time!

The Other Side of Animation 67: The Boy and the Beast Review
December 5, 2016 camseyeview Film Reviews	2D animation, Alex Organ, Eric Vale, Funimation, Ian Sinclair, Japanese film, John Swasey, Luci Christian, Mamoru Hosoda, Sean Hennigan, Summer Wars, The Boy and the Beast, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Wolf Children
Finally, I get to talk about one of my favorite new directors in the animation scene, Mamoru Hosoda. Even though I say he is "new", Hosoda has actually been around the anime/animation scene for a while, starting all the way back in 1999 when he had a hand with working in both minor and key animation roles on the Digimon Adventure series, Yu Yu Hakusho The Movie: Poltergeist Report, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – Second Coming, Galaxy Express 999 Eternal Fantasy, and Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie to name a few of the projects on which he worked. Only in 2006 after some directing gigs with the Digimon: The Movie and One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island, did he finally get to work on his own original projects. His first release was The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, but essentially started to get more popularity among animation viewers when he released Summer Wars and Wolf Children. However, I'm going to look at those three films at a later date. For now, I want to talk about his newest film, The Boy and the Beast. This movie was originally released last year in 2015, but was brought over in 2016 by Funimation. So, how does Hosoda's newest film stack against his previous works? Well, let's dive in.
The story is about a young boy named Kyuta, voiced by Luci Christian, and Eric Vale when the character is older. He is currently unhappy with a rather upsetting family incident where his mother passed away, and the father isn't anywhere to be found. Kyuta runs away, and accidentally ends up meeting a humanized animal being named Kumatetsu, voiced by John Swasey. As a result, Kyuta takes the offer of Kumatetsu and follows him into another realm known as Jutengai or Beast Kingdom. After being shocked at running into a world not his own, he becomes the apprentice to Kumatetsu, even though Kumatetsu's two friends, a monkey man named Tatara, voiced by Ian Sinclair, and a pig man/monk named Hyakushubo, voiced by Alex Organ, are concerned about the situation. The story also involves a fight between Kumatetsu and a boar man named Iozen, voiced by Sean Hennigan, about who becomes the new lord of the land. Will Kyuta train and become a great warrior? Will Kumatetsu be able to train Kyuta, and what will happen between the Beast Kingdom and the human world?
I'm going to, of course, start off with the positives of The Boy and the Beast, since I really love this movie and want to talk about how great it is. First off, the animation is fluid with more realistic movements, but nothing that feels stiff or awkward about it, like when they do all cgi or rotoscope. It leads to some pretty beautiful animation with some outstanding fight choreography. I think what helps make the fighting in this movie so fantastic is that it's more grounded and not flashy. The punches and kicks feel real, with actual weight behind the blows that characters give each other. Yes, there are some mystical elements, but it's mostly punches and kicks. It gives Hosoda's films a unique and iconic look, which is hard to say about anime these days with how generic and homogenous it can all look.
Some of the other great aspects are the themes The Boy and the Beast tackles. The film deals with stuff like different family situations, not letting hate take you over, what true strength is, and what is probably the film's greatest message, being upfront with your children. Yeah, we actually have an animated film that essentially tells the viewers that parents should be upfront with them and not lie to them. It's a rather refreshing message, since so many films these days rather follow something generic and something we have seen before. It leads to some great parallels to the characters and their chemistry among the entire cast.
The voice cast is also very strong. I felt like everyone had the right voices connected to their characters, and I love how natural the dialogue feels. It isn't like in Ghost in the Shell where no matter how good the cast is, the dialogue is not organic, and feels robotic and unnatural. The music is once again extremely beautiful, and fits the mood in each scene. This is due to the talented Takagi Masakatsu, who also did the music for Wolf Children. It's elegant, beautiful, atmospheric, and upbeat when the time calls for it.
If there was really one major nitpick about the film, it's the pacing in the second half. For the most part, the pacing is perfectly done, but some areas later on could have been better. It's like how in Kubo and the Two Strings, in how there was no build-up for Monkey. She just appears and it's like "um, okay." The second half isn't horrible. It still has a lot of plot-relevant moments and some really touching scenes, but its pacing is more noticeable in terms of how the story progresses.
Even with the minor pacing problem, The Boy and the Beast is one of the best animated films of 2016, and one of my favorite films of the year. It's touching, funny, mature, creepy at times, and an all-around endearing experience. If you can find the time to purchase or rent a copy of this film, I highly recommend doing so. Well, next time, we will take a look at the first in a month of Christmas-related animated films with The Magic Snowflake. Thanks for reading, I hope you all enjoyed the review, and I will see you all next time!

Virgin Blue and Guests now have more room to move in Melbourne with the low fare airline beginning operations out of the South Terminal.
It follows last month's 10-year agreement between Virgin Blue and Melbourne Airport regarding access to the vacant former Ansett facility, after Virgin Blue outgrew the Domestic Express Terminal.
The move will cement Virgin Blue's position as Australia's number one airline when it come to low fares and high quality service, providing an additional six check-in desks as well as seven departure and arrival gates, meaning added efficiency for Guests checking in during peak times.
It will also mean the opportunity for the airline to increase the number of future flights in and out of the Victorian capital, already Virgin Blue's largest single operations base with 70 flights a day in and out of Melbourne.
He continued, "Melbourne Airport clearly has a good understanding of Virgin Blue's future needs and is happy to let us manage a great airline while they manage a great airport. Their co-operative and consultative approach will allow the continued growth of high quality, low fare services to Melbourne and we only wish Macquarie's Sydney Airport could learn from Melbourne's example".
Virgin Blue has arranged flexible procedures that will allow it to continue boarding and disembarking using stairs on sunny days, after Virgin Blue Guests regularly comment on how much they enjoy seeing the aircraft they are flying in rather than being shunted through a tunnel.
The efficient method of using front and back stairs is also a key factor in maintaining Virgin Blue's outstanding on-time performance record. However, the airline will now also have full access to aerobridges during inclement weather or to assist special needs Guests.
The other benefits for passengers include improved baggage collection, a wide selection of concessions as well as convenient and weather protected access to other airport facilities such as parking, hotels and the International terminal.
Virgin Blue is Australia's multi-award winning low fare airline servicing every state and territory in the country with its fleet of brand new Next Generation 737 aircraft.

'Oprah Winfrey Show' coming to an end
In what is shaping up to be the biggest change in first-run syndication in two decades, Oprah Winfrey will end her daily talk show Sept. 9, 2011, after 25 years on the air.
This is anything but a retirement. Winfrey will shift her efforts to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, which she owns with Discovery Communications. The cable network expects to bow at the end of next year.
"If you think the last quarter-century has been something, then 'don't touch that dial' as together we plan to make history in the next 20 months and beyond," Tim Bennett, president of Winfrey's Harpo Prods., wrote Thursday in a letter to employees.
Although the announcement had been anticipated, it is a blow to local TV stations that have counted on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for high ratings, usually as a lead-in to local news programs. Ratings for "Oprah" have drifted downward during the past few years and posted an all-time low in June, but the CBS-syndicated talker remains the king of afternoon TV in most markets.
The show has averaged a 5.4 household rating this season, which translates to 7.3 million viewers daily. It also scores a strong 3.0 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic. That's down 35% among women in total households compared with five years ago and off 45% in the 25-45 female demo, according to David Scardino, entertainment specialist at ad agency RPA.
Although "Oprah" isn't the highest-rated syndie show — a title held by "Wheel of Fortune," with 10 million daily viewers — it's well above anything else in daytime, though it recently finished behind courtroom show "Judge Judy."
The announcement will come at the end of a big week for "Oprah," which nabbed its best ratings in two years Monday when Winfrey interviewed Sarah Palin.
With local stations already reeling from reduced ad revenue, how incumbents deal with replacing "Oprah" — and how rival stations counter with their own — will be crucial to their long-term health once the recession ends.
In addition, Winfrey has been the most successful incubator of syndie talent, including "Dr. Phil," "Rachael Ray" and "Dr. Oz," so it's unclear who among distributors will step up with new strategies for getting shows launched in her absence.
"There's no doubt that the landscape could shift dramatically," one syndie veteran said.
The very style of talk shows likely will change as the remaining first-run players, and any newcomers, take up the slack. While the time slots will be filled, that doesn't mean anyone else will command the ratings and respect Winfrey has earned, or have the same impact.
"She is unique," Scardino said. "They aren't going to be able to replace her quickly or easily. The thing is, Oprah has been on for so long and has such a presence and aura that there isn't anybody around with that impact."
CBS TV Distribution inherited distribution rights to "Oprah" when it acquired King World Prods. in 1999 for $2.5 billion. The end of the show will be a blow to the syndicator, but it's not as bad as if it had owned the show (Harpo owns and produces the program.) CBS also has seven of the other top 10 shows in syndication, including "Wheel," "Entertainment Tonight" and "Judy."
"We have the greatest respect for Oprah and wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors," CBS TV Distribution said in a statement. "We know that anything she turns her hand to will be a great success. We look forward to working with her for the next several years and hopefully afterwards as well."
Even if Winfrey had stayed on, Scardino said, it is doubtful her program would have netted as much in the next round because local stations have been rocked by the recession and increased competition for advertising from cable TV and the Internet.
The station group most impacted by Winfrey's exit will be ABC, which airs the show in nine of the top 10 U.S. markets. Beyond ABC, the groups that air "Oprah" on the most outlets are Hearst (Boston), Cox (Atlanta), Belo (Dallas) and Gannett (St. Louis).
Winfrey might spin off another syndicated show, but she is expected to focus her immediate efforts on OWN, which in April announced its first batch of shows. Those include "Master Class," which will feature extraordinary people "hand-picked by Oprah."
Winfrey likely will host a daily talk show similar to what she's been doing in syndication, mixing entertainment and lifestyle segments.
A Harpo spokesman indicated Winfrey might do other shows as well. Discovery Communications recently said that Winfrey will narrate an 11-part nonfiction documentary series, "Life," which will premiere in March on the Discovery network.

Our mission is to change and influence the entire hosiery industry. Nylon yarn, which is currently used to produce most modern pantyhose, is created from an environmentally harmful petroleum-based manufacturing process that leads to damaging carbon emissions. More-so, modern pantyhose isn't made to last. These harmful practices in the fashion industry are all too common. We believe the world needs more innovative and environmentally conscious products to lead the way, and so Swedish Stockings was launched.
We create our pantyhose from both pre and post-consumer nylon waste. The production process is a lot less harmful to the environment than traditional nylon production and we are consistently looking for innovative and cleaner ways to produce - conserving or reusing water, decreasing emissions, reducing and recycling waste. From this highly efficient recycling procedure we have reduced energy and water consumption. We also have a recycling program. We estimate, thousands of stockings have been recycled thanks to our recycling program.


Are the Current Laws Adequate for Social Media?
The proliferation of YouTube stars and home movie producers has created some interesting issues for intellectual property lawyers.
According to a lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Los Angeles, Seth MacFarlane, Universal Pictures and Media Rights Capital are being sued for alleged copyright infringement in relation to their hit comedy 'Ted' which starred a vulgar, talking teddy bear. The movie successfully grossed $550m worldwide.
The plaintiff, Bengal Mangle Productions, created a screenplay and a corresponding web series featuring a vulgar teddy bear named Charlie. 'Acting School Academy', as a web series, received over 1.2m views between July 2009 and June 2012.
Charlie the Abusive Teddy Bear, as the spin-off to the original web series, Acting School Academy, was exhibited on Youtube, IMDB, and Blip.tv, and continues to be exhibited online.
The suit alleges that both Charlie and Ted have similar physical attributes, both being brown toy (albeit living) teddy bears, as well as displaying remarkably similar personality traits.
Both Charlie and Ted have penchants for drinking alcohol and smoking, as well as in engaging prostitutes for their services. In general, both characters maintain a vulgar and humorous disposition, whilst spending large amounts of time on the sofa, cigarette and/or beer in hand. Further, both bears maintain an active online presence insofar as Twitter is used to express the bears' similar respective opinions.
In addition, the suit also alleges that entire scenes in 2012's Ted had been directly copied from the webseries starring Charlie, with both bears making use of a "washed-up" child star persona. Scenes, for example, where Charlie describes what he wants to do with a prostitute are presented as originals of scenes, for example, where Ted shows a woman all the lewd acts he wants to perform with her.
The plaintiff claims the defendant's character, Ted, is substantially similar to Charlie and that the film Ted constitutes unauthorised copying, reproduction, distribution, creation of a derivative work, and/or public display of Charlie. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
If the defendants are found to have infringed on the plaintiff's copyright the implications could be widespread.
The fact that Charlie only stars in a web only format, and that the spin-off show in which he stars only gained a fraction of the views of the original in which he merely featured, makes clear that judgment for the plaintiff would set a new precedent in this type of case.
Various internet-only shows – with only modest viewership – would require further attention from media companies' intellectual property lawyers, so as to avert expensive suits post the (prospective) hit film.
MacFarlane, Universal Pictures and Media Rights Capital made no comment on the lawsuit.

The '76 House, also known as the Old '76 House, is a Colonial-era structure built as a home and tavern in Tappan, New York, in 1754 by Casparus Mabie, a merchant and tavern-keeper.

History

Origin
In spite of local claims of much earlier construction (dating to founding of Tappan in 1686), the '76 House appears only to predate the American Revolution by several decades. The earliest confirmed dates concerning any structure on or near the site involve one Antie Myers, a widow, who was licensed in 1705 to sell drink, "as per her recognizance," in her house in the immediate neighborhood of today's '76 House. After her death around 1721 her home was purchased by Yoast Mabie, a brother of Casparus. The house was demolished in 1835. In 1753, Casparus Mabie bought a piece of land from Cornelis Myers, Antie's son.

The following year he built a house on this lot on what was to become Main Street in Tappan. He included space for a tavern, probably no more than a few tables and benches in a corner of the front room. Two years later, in 1756, court records indicate that the "Supervisors for the County of Orange [met] at the House of Casparus Maybe, in Orange Town October the 5th Anno Domine 1756." These documents describe meetings of the Board of Supervisors over the years and provide details of the food and ale they consumed and the business they conducted.

An old hearsay that the '76 House was known as "Mabie's Inn", home to Yoast Mabie, and the site of the signing of the Orangetown Resolutions in 1774, has been disproved by historians. Mabie's actual house, around the corner, was demolished.

Revolutionary headquarters
The '76 House was often used during the American Revolutionary War as a meeting place for local Patriots. For a few days in 1780, it served as the prison of the Revolution's most notorious spy, Major John André. When the Continental Army encamped in Tappan, the house was the headquarters for General Nathanael Greene. By this time, owner Casparus Mabie had built another house for his family on "very good upland" behind the '76 House on what is today called André Hill, where the spy was hanged after his trial in the Tappan Reformed Church. General George Washington did not attend the trial, nor did he "question" André, as some sources claim. In fact, Washington did not respond to the spy's request that he be shot as befitted a gentleman and an officer rather than hanged like a common criminal.

As the war continued, Fort Lee in New Jersey and New York City were British strongholds, West Point was a  Revolutionary stronghold, and Tappan became a front line in the conflict. George Washington made the nearby De Wint House his headquarters. Once again, despite local claims, there is no documentary evidence that he ever drank or ate at the '76 House. He brought his own chef to Tappan with him, Samuel Fraunces of Fraunces Tavern. Nor is there evidence that he met the British Commander Carleton at the '76 House at the end of the war. The dinner they had together in Tappan was at the De Wint House, prepared by Fraunces, and another aboard the H.M.S. Perseverance.

Restoration
In 1987, Rob Norden purchased the restaurant, which is now owned and operated by his son, also Rob. The Nordens undertook a significant research and restoration project to restore the older appearance and deal with structural problems. The foundation was strengthened with concrete. The floor and ceiling joists, weakened by sagging of the foundation, were replaced by others from a barn in Ontario as old as the tavern, and the floorboards were replaced with similar boards from a schoolhouse in Pennsylvania. The '76 House is a contributing property to the Tappan Historic District.

Today
Several scenes from "College", the fifth episode of The Sopranos first season, were shot at the Old 76 House as were several scenes from the movie Stepmom starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts.

Vintage Sundays at SoWa Boston

It's a quiet and wintery Sunday morning in the SoWa (South of Washington Street) neighbourhood of Boston's South End. Just a few cars move along Harrison Avenue, while even fewer pedestrians walk along the snow-covered sidewalk. Normally, the parking lot for number 460, a long brick building, buzzes with the motors of food trucks - they're absent because of the Christmas holidays - that are lined up to serve everything from gourmet pickles and lobster rolls to cupcakes and ice cream.
Despite its quiet surroundings, the old factory building comes to life every Sunday throughout the year for the SoWa Vintage Market. Signs beckon people inside, where music plays and people leisurely browse stalls of vintage and antique goods. Some of the vendors gather together, their Boston accents loud and clear as they chat; others sit quietly with books perched in their laps, speaking up only when customers approach.
The only market of its kind in the city, SoWa Vintage came into existence four years ago when long-time dealers Stephanie Pernice and John Warren realised Boston was lacking such an experience. "John and I were going to Brooklyn every week to the Brooklyn Flea," Pernice says. "We live here in the Boston area and when the economy got really bad we went there every week just to survive and stay in business and be able to keep doing this rather than have to get jobs."
Pernice explains that antiques dealers used to participate in the now nine-year-old seasonal SoWa Open Market, a staple of the thriving artistic and cultural neighbourhood that SoWa has become in the last decade. Yet when the opportunity arose to head indoors and use the 7,000-square-foot, three-room space, they decided to establish a separate market.
At the start, only seven vendors participated, but by the end of the first year and just before shutting down for the winter, Pernice and Warren had reached their 30-vendor capacity. Then two years ago, they transformed their market from a warm-weather event to a year-round destination for locals as well as tourists, thanks to support from the tourism and hospitality industries.

And indeed, SoWa does attract an eclectic group of patrons, which seems fitting with its diverse and ever-changing collection of goods. "We have a lot of everybody," Pernice says. "We have a lot of regulars and we have a lot of new people." The market attracts people of all ages, from young collectors to families to seniors. As proof, Pernice points to a miniature, red, bench-like piece. "We have a girl who comes in and she collects dollhouse furniture and little doll stuff, so if we find anything we save it for her."
Still, at the SoWa Vintage Market, there's much more to discover than playthings for children. Trolling through the different stalls - all organised against a backdrop of red brick walls - you're sure to come across recognisable gems for both your home and wardrobe. The findings range from Fendi purses and cashmere scarves to copies of the now-defunct Life magazine and clunky old typewriters. There's even a women's sweater from Filene's, the locally loved department store bought out by the parent company of Macy's in 2005.
On this day, Pernice puts on display a boxy, gold purse purchased at a church sale the previous day. As she shows off all of its features - including compartments for perfume, powder, jewellery and a hidden cigarette case - her passion for vintage and antiques shines through. "Isn't that cool?" she asks, smiling. "And it came with its original little pouch and an original little gift box, too."
Pernice proudly reveals another recent find: a leather, accordion-style men's toiletry bag made by the London Harness Company. "I try to buy Rockefeller-level items," she explains. "That's sort of my shtick. You can get better second-hand things if you buy things of quality than you can buy brand new today."
Although the quality of the items found at the market remains consistent, it has a fresh and different feeling each Sunday. Vendors are required to continually change their merchandise and bring in new items "because otherwise the market stagnates and dies," Pernice says. She also welcomes new dealers on a regular basis to help maintain an element of dynamism for repeat customers.
One dealer who recently joined SoWa is Mayra Gonzalez. Raised in New York City, Gonzalez became interested in vintage as a teenager in the 1970s. "I started seriously collecting stuff around age 17," she says. "I sort of discovered it by accident. I would just hang out at church flea markets and garage sales and thrift stores." By 1988, Gonzalez had combined her accidental hobby with experience as a buyer and opened her own store in Miami called Findings.
After moving to the Boston area in 2005, Gonzalez continued to collect vintage women's clothing and accessories, and she began planning for a new business in early 2012. Although she hoped to open another store, the economic downturn led her to the web. In September of last year, she and husband Biorn Maybury-Lewis launched The House of Findings, an online boutique that sells both vintage and modern goods. One month later, the couple joined the SoWa Vintage Market, which Gonzalez says functions as her "lab."
"I just needed a place that I could physically be and see the girls," she explains. "Who are the girls? What are they buying? What are they thinking? I think by talking to them I learn a lot about what they need, what they want, what they like. … It's like a relationship."
Pernice, who has been collecting antiques for 20 years, echoes that sentiment, saying that she prefers selling in markets rather than shops because of the interaction with the customer. "You know, we consider ourselves an adoption agency for vintage and antiques, matching the right person to the thing," she adds.
"I try to buy Rockefeller-level items," she explains. "That's sort of my shtick. You can get better second-hand things if you buy things of quality than you can buy brand new today."
Like Gonzalez and Pernice, many vendors at SoWa specialise in vintage goods; others, though, are all about upcycling and recycling. For example, Carole Bentley and Kerry Draicchio, owners of Painted Pretty, refurbish antique furniture. At their SoWa stall, you'll find old wooden frames and silver platters, which have been transformed into chalkboards. "Our motto is to recycle and reuse everything, so we take old pieces and we paint them up." Bentley says. "A lot of it was basically going to go into a landfill."
Although they're always busy restoring and painting furniture in their studio in Abington, Massachusetts, Bentley and Draicchio's sole retail space is at SoWa. The two have been a part of the market since its establishment and always look forward to Sundays. "We picked out our spot and we haven't moved since," Bentley says.
"I love it," she adds. "You can sit out here and have something to eat and people watch. They have live music in the summertime. And out here," she adds, pointing to the window, "they're playing soccer on the fields and people go and watch that. It's just great."
Bentley and the other vendors admit that getting the word out and driving traffic to SoWa can prove difficult, as the neighbourhood sits on the edge of the city, away from major retail areas like the Back Bay and Faneuil Hall. Still, they remain positive and say they've seen a rise in local interest in the market and the vintage fashion scene as a whole in recent years.
"A lot of people come just for the food trucks and they say, 'Oh, there's a vintage market here?'" explains Bentley. "They have no idea. I think there's still a challenge for this particular market, getting people to know that we're inside and all of that. It takes a little time, but I love it. It's one of the best things we ever did."

Madipakkam in Chennai becomes new home for sparrows
Posted on December 26, 2018 by S Ben Raja
"Though the number of the small birds are declining, the census has helped us gain an insight into newer locations like Madipakkam where sparrows have nested and have been sighted"
Residents of Madipakkam can now up their collars as the locality has been found to be one of the very few places to have registered sparrow sightings.
According to the Madras Naturalists' Society (MNS), one of the oldest associations for nature conservationists in Chennai, Madipakkam has become a haven for birds even at a time when their head count is steadily decreasing.
MNS undertook a four-month-long census (from March to July this year) to understand whether sparrows are comfortable with the present conditions of the city.
This being a followup to MNS' rapid assessment survey conducted in 2012, residents of the city were invited to call and report sightings of sparrows in their locality during the project.
To make the census more accurate, MNS members also individually verified the sightings. The reports were fed into MNS' sparrow atlas on their website, www.blackbuck.org. The details such as time, place, activity of the birds (flying, calling or feeding), additional notes about trees that they were found on/near, and their total count were added.
The results which were released on 20 December, revealed that Madipakkam is one of only five localities in Chennai to have the sightings of the sparrows this year, excluding five MRTS stations which also got featured in the list.
Speaking to News Today, MNS honorary secretary, G Vijay Kumar, said, "Unlike many other localities which got a mention this year, Madipakkam bagged not one but two spots with sightings at Ram Nagar South 12th Main Road and Kuberan Nagar Extension Third Cross Street."
"Not only that, Madipakkam which never got featured in the list all these years has now gone past many usual names, which failed to have a sighting this time. Though the number of the small birds are declining, the census has helped us gain an insight into newer locations like Madipakkam where sparrows have nested and have been sighted. A total of 101 sightings have been recorded this year of which 78 were non-nesting sightings and 23 were of the birds nesting," he added.
It is to be noted that in early October this year, Aravind A M (36), a resident of Sathasivam Nagar, Madipakkam, clicked a picture of a very rare bird in India, a Daurian Starling, while also registering it in an international Ornithology guide, thereby creating a record.
The bird usually breeds in East China, East Russia, and Mongolia and migrates to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia. He had also clicked a bird named Asian Pied Starling with its nest and eggs at Ram Nagar, Madipakkam. The bird is usually not found in Tamilnadu, but in Northern Andhra Pradesh, Northern Karnataka, Central and Northern India.

Also, check out this new series for your weekly vampire / werewolf / ghost fix:
Mixing the mythic with the commonplace, the farcical with the horrific and the domestic with the epic, Being Human, a BBC AMERICA co-production, is a witty and extraordinary look into the lives of three twenty-somethings and their secret double-lives – as a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. Russell Tovey (Doctor Who, The History Boys), Lenora Crichlow (Sugar Rush, Doctor Who) and Aidan Turner (The Clinic) star as housemates trying to live normal lives, despite their strange and dark secrets.
George (Russell Tovey) and Mitchell (Aidan Turner) work in anonymous drudgery as hospital porters. They lead lives of quiet desperation under the burden of a terrible secret—Mitchell's a vampire and George a werewolf. Deciding to start life afresh and leave behind the dark side, they move into a house, only to find that Annie, the ghost of a woman killed in mysterious circumstances, haunts it. As the monster threesome deals with the challenges of their new life together, they're united in their desire to blend in with their human neighbors.
By all appearances, George is a mild-mannered and geeky guy – except for one night a month when he's a flesh-hungry, predatory werewolf. Mitchell is good-looking, laid-back and, unlike George, has an easy confidence with the ladies. But he's also suffering withdrawal from the blood he craves. Annie (Lenora Crichlow) is chatty, insecure and desperate for company and now that death has separated them, she longs for her fiancé, who owns the house she haunts.
But with unwelcome intruders into their world, a threatened revolution from the vampire underworld and constant threats of exposure – on top of the day-to-day issues faced by young people – the only thing they may be able to rely on in their heightened world, is each other.
Being Human premieres Saturday, July 25, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Fill it once again by coming back to my arms Coz baby, I miss you so much. Forgive me Boyfriend poems is a unique way to say I am sorry. Look for a beautiful card or make one yourself with meaningful words, and give it to him personally. I told them, someone took my future and kept it with him for good. Here are apology text messages that you can use. I love the way I love you.
You provided me with love that no one could give me. She used me for my money what a ride she took me on. This first gift idea comes from Dave one of our website visitors and adds a huge wow factor when apologizing in a relationship. ~ George Eliot The poem above is appropriate when apologizing to your girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, or spouse. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. You are the best supporter, My first and only lover. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
Sure it takes a little bit of courage. So kiss me, sweet, with your warm wet mouth, Still fragrant with ruby wine, And say with a fervor born of the South That your body and soul are mine. Do you feel like it is the end of everything and your boyfriend is at fault. We all make mistakes and sometimes hurt the people in our lives that we care about. Sometimes we end up hurting our closest and dearest friends without even realizing until it's too late.
This one is bound to be an absolute hit with any guy. Unfortunately, we are often kinder and more respectful to strangers than we are to friends and family who are closer to us. Chesterton © V 4 C Friends are God's apology for relations. You are my knight and shining armor, My one and only protector. You were my pillar when I was falling You were my strength when I was weak. To live with you is what I want all my life.
You are the blood that flows through me. Normally it is after the anger has cooled down that you realize how much the words must have hurt the other. They even offer a heart-shaped cut diamond and other heart pieces which are perfect for saying sorry to that special person in your life. You have always been the star of my dreams. He makes me blush, Cutest Poem for your boyfriend I hope these were touch your heart.
If no, I don't mind. Loving you always is beautifully real. Lynn Johnston © V 4 C When you realize you've made a mistake, make amends immediately. A second more, I could not deny, Not apologizing was a lie. I think words can cut right through you And stay in your head forever; I must remember what not to say In haste, that is my endeavor. It is important that you hear him out first, and then genuinely apologize to him and say you are sorry.
I know there are no valid excuses, Negative feelings arguments produces I'm really sorry, I truly care, What I did was completely unfair, Hope you forgive me over time, I feel awful about my crime. The words seem 2 get stuck inside me, somewhere tucked away. I have tried making it up 2 u through each little chance I got. . Welcome Everyone I've been writing verses For 60 years.
The moment he realizes you really mean it, his anger will surely reduce. Song ideas: , , , ,, or Fast forward it to 3:35 minutes and rap to Big Sean 53. I'm sorry that you've lost him Your husband was good old soul; He was very poorly though He'd sipped from all life's bowl. Use candy to express your apology. I love how I would do anything for you to make you happy. Keep visiting our site because we are updating Sorry Poems To Boyfriend daily on our site. I love you at night when the world is asleep.
I want to duff my cap for you once more. I love you at lunchtime when my hungry soul craves. A good innings is never long enough For those of us left behind; But he said he was ready now This way God's been kind. Nobody's perfect, not even me and you, so I'm sorry for that took and I'm sorry for everything but. But if anything feels emotionally eyes start shining and we cry without shout. They are: 1 by famous people. Now, I'm lying on my bd Images of u in my head Thinking of how many ways can sorry b said Bcoz if I know, I'll say them all 2 u in a thread.

MAN IS HELD AS "FUNERAL THIEF.
Returning From Funeral of Wife, Physician Found Home Robbed.
The police believe they have arrested a new brand of criminal, the funeral thief. A series of robberies in other cities occurred recently in homes where the family is attending a funeral.
Charles W. Everhart returned to his home, 4319 Madison avenue, late on Monday afternoon, after attending the funeral of Mrs. Everhart, who died on Saturday. The house was dark. he found a quantity of silverware and jewelry on the kitchen table wrapped in a table cloth. Mr. Everhart heard a noise in the rear yard and saw a man vaulting the fence. He followed him for n early a block and was able to get a detailed description of him.
The police arrested a man yesterday at Fortieth and Summit streets who answered the description given by Everhart. He was later identified. At police headquarters he gave the name of William Graham of Chicago. He was also identified as the man who inquired of one of Mr. Everhart's neighbors when the funeral was to be held.
Lieutenant Parker, Bertillon expert at police headquarters, looked up Graham's records and said that the latter was William Grimes, had served a seven-year term in the penitentiary at Jefferson City for assault with intent to kill. He was convicted in St. Louis.
Graham's description, the police say, fits that of a man wanted in Chicago for several clever robberies.
Graham refused to make any statement yesterday. He did not deny or affirm his guilt.

Concerns have been raised about the safety and efficacy of blood transfusions. Blood products are in demand and a decreasing supply is projected, with resource conservation a global concern. A consultant group determined that the transfusion rate at Mease Countryside Hospital was higher than an average baseline.
A process-improvement project was initiated using a multidisciplinary team approach to improve blood utilization and ensure appropriateness in transfusion practice. The foundation of this project was to create new guidelines for transfusion; provide detailed education, communication, reporting, and feedback; and develop criteria to ensure compliance.
The mean monthly usage of red blood cell units per 1000 inpatient discharges between April 2010 and October 2011 was 321.4 compared with 212.0 for the 5 months after implementation. The mean monthly number of patients transfused per 1000 inpatient discharges from April 2010 to October 2011 was 135.2 compared with 90.2 after implementation. In both cases, this reduction was found to be statistically significant at a 95% confidence level (P = 0.000 in both respects).
The success of this project was the result of careful planning and execution, administrative support, physician leadership, and teamwork. Blood management includes strategies to avoid inappropriate transfusions and proactively treat anemia. Anemia management should be based on the patient's symptoms, laboratory values, and clinical assessment. Treatment of anemia should encompass a patient-centered approach, with the aim of promoting patient safety and minimizing the risk from exposure to blood products.


Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.

San Diego Rescue Mission awards first high school graduate
December 5, 2017	|	San Diego Continuing Education
Until Erwin Trejo turned 18, he spent four years in and out of juvenile hall and drug rehabilitation. He served time for robbery and violent crime.
San Diego Continuing Education graduate Erwin Trejo and San Diego Rescue Mission staff Angela Ford.
"My family used to look for me on the streets. They would tell me to come home. Sometimes I got in the car but most of the time I would walk away."
Erwin explains he was raised in a loving home in San Diego. "My parents supported me so much. I grew up having everything, toys, video games, bicycles and all of that."
Despite the support of his family and losing his older brother to substance abuse, Erwin got involved in the streets at age 14 and joined a gang six months later.
"I always got Bs in school. I liked to learn, I was good with numbers and history." Erwin excelled in high school but dropped out as a sophomore.
"I continued my education in juvenile hall, but it meant nothing to me. I was focused on jokes and scratching the table with gang letters."
After tirelessly going back and forth between jail and treatment he arrived at the San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM). The charity located on the corner of Elm St. in Downtown, San Diego that provides emergency shelter, hot meals, transitional housing, recovery counseling and adult education.
"Right when I got there I said this is it. This is where I'm going to get my life together, do the right thing and get my GED."
San Diego Continuing Education and the SDRM launched a partnership last year to provide SDRM clients with free basic skills courses and career training. The offerings include classes to earn a High School diploma or equivalency, which are the classes that changed Erwin's path.
"When I started the class, I was a little bit rusty but then it felt good again."
The SDRM has tried to offer higher education as part of their services since its beginning, over 60 years ago, but lacked the resources.
"Since I arrived at SDCE more than two years ago, it has been a priority to expand education to adults in San Diego who are vulnerable and who need additional supports for educational success," said Carlos O. Turner Cortez, Ph.D., President of SDCE. "Courses offered at the Rescue Mission were selected to meet the immediate needs of the population at the Mission. "
SDCE is the adult education division of the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) and serves 44,000 adult students annually at seven campuses in San Diego, plus at more than 200 off-campus locations, including SDRM.
"The partnership with SDCE is amazing because you're talking about individuals who never thought they could take advantage of higher education and we're making it accessible to them here at the Rescue Mission." said Angela Ford, Aftercare Coordinator for SDRM.
Erwin stayed true to his self-determination and received good news earlier this year. "Miss. Angela told me I was the first person to get a GED while at the San Diego Rescue Mission. I felt great. It's something I thought was impossible and it has happened."
Now 27, Erwin describes his graduation ceremony at SDRM, "My mom was really happy. She felt like she won the lottery that day."
Following the ceremony, Erwin was chosen for an internship at SDRM, and will work with people who are newly admitted into the shelter.
"I want to pay it forward. I would tell my 15 year-old self that it's not worth it. Continue your education, go to a community college or a university. You deserve so much more for your life."
Erwin will transition to San Diego Mesa College next year to become a drug and alcohol counselor.
In spring 2018, SDCE will expand programming at SDRM by starting to place students in career education programs at SDCE campuses. Plus career and college readiness courses will be added to the current lineup of classes that already includes free career training in a Business Information Worker program and Parent Education.
SDCE awarded 9,522 certificates of completion and high school diplomas in 2017, which is more than any other noncredit adult educational institution in the state of California.

POLITICS CORRUPTION

Hillary Clinton suffers horrid coughing fit at women's summit when asked about Julian Assange's Wikileaks
(INTELLIHUB) — After seeing what has taken place on the current Presidential campaign trail, it should come as no surprise that the Establishment actually managed to suppress the release of a documentary film exposing Hillary Clinton back in 2008.
The film, produced by a conservative non-profit organization, was scheduled to air on cable T.V. and video-on-demand just before the Democratic primaries in Jan. of 2008, and was banned under the Bipartisan Campaign reform Act which is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission.
The documentary interviewed various conservative figures such as Dick Morris and Ann Coulter and reviewed various scandals in which Hillary Clinton participated in, such as the White House travel office controversy, White House FBI files controversy, Whitewater controversy, and cattle future controversy. The factual finding of the three-judge district court was that there was "no reasonable interpretation [of the movie] other than as an appeal to vote against Senator Clinton", thus making it "electioneering communication". The Supreme Court did not change that decision, but in a more far-reaching way declared that corporations could not be banned from making electioneering communications.
The people in power have been engaged in a web of corruption for years and would like to keep it that way. Right now they are doing everything in their power to remain in control for as long as possible — this has been made prevalent in the current race for the White House as can be seen on T.V. on any given day.

Morgan Wade's 'Suspicious Minds' Cover Is Like Elvis Fronting ELO
Robotic vocoder, pounding piano, and ringing electric guitars give new life to Presley's 1969 hit

Morgan Wade mixes the King of Rock & Roll with a little Electric Light Orchestra on a new cover of the evergreen "Suspicious Minds." The track appears as one of six new songs on her LP Reckless (Deluxe Edition) that was released Friday.
Like many of Wade's original songs, there's a less-is-more approach to the arrangement. There's no intro — it opens straight into the first verse, where Wade's singular voice is accompanied by muted guitar, sustained piano notes, and a four-on-the-floor kick drum. The song ramps up quickly with bright acoustic guitar and the doubled-up drum pattern from Elvis Presley's 1969 original, bringing in an ornate choral arrangement for the chorus.
The most novel touch is the addition of stacked vocoder "answer" vocals that follow Wade from the first chorus through the rest of the song, somehow finding a comfortable spot between Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky" and a solid portion of the Daft Punk catalog. Rather than slowing down for the original's mid-section time-change, Wade keeps her foot on the gas and charges right on to the end in a head rush of pounding piano and ringing electric guitar.
Including "Suspicious Minds," Reckless (Deluxe Edition) adds a half-dozen new tracks to Wade's breakout album. Among the other new additions are the previously released "Run" and the collaboration with her co-producer Sadler Vaden on "The Night."
