Q: C/C++: How does this inline if get parsed? Consider this code:
int main()
{
    cout << true ? "Yes" : "No";
    return 0;
}

Its output will be 1 , not Yes or No. Why is it that true is sent to the output stream instead of the Yes or No strings? How does the rest of the inline if get parsed?

A: It has to do with order of operations.  It's the same as:
  (cout << true) ? "Yes" : "No";

cout << true returns an ostream&, which must have a conversion to bool or an equivalent.  The result of ?: is thrown away.
If this seems odd (why this precedence?), just remember that ostream's operator<< is an overload introduced in C++ code, which doesn't allow precedence changing.  The precedence of << is designed for what makes sense for bit-shifting.  Its use as a streaming operator came much later.
Edit: Probably converting to (void*) using this:  http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/ios/operator_voidpt/

These photos are from one of the few rolls of film to have survived my recent postal film fiasco. I shot these at YMCA Camp Chief Hector while I was out on a morning hike. I used Kodak Elite Chrome 100 film that I had cross-processed at The Darkroom. I love how some of the shots have a warm redscale look to them while the others have more of a cool blue tone. I remember varying the exposure between shots, but I didn't take notes and my Rebel 2000 does not record metadata so I doubt I could reproduce the settings I used that morning.

Are you looking for quick and unusual ways to make some money in 2019? Then look no further. The following page contains 10 interesting ways that you can make extra money starting today!
Cryptocurrencies have been hyped for quite some time, and a lot of people have made a lot of money from the market. There are several ways one can trade cryptocurrencies, but the two most popular are derivatives trading with a cryptocurrency broker and long-term investing with a cryptocurrency exchange.
We all have unique skills that others would pay us for. Maybe you are a great writer or you speak two languages and could do translations. Do you know how to develop websites? Or could you teach others your language? As long as you are creative and have access to a computer, you can find somebody willing to pay for your skills. Don't believe us? Check out Upwork and see all of the millions of job opportunities posted there.
Many large hospitals and universities perform clinical trials on humans in order to get their new medicines and remedies on the market. Some trials might require you to spend a few days to weeks being monitored at the hospital, while others are over in a couple of hours. Regardless, clinical trials tend to pay well and are a great way to make quick money.
Have you always dreamed of traveling the world or volunteering abroad? Or do you want to open a sanctuary for stray dogs but lack the funding? Then you can start a crowdfunding campaign asking others to help support your dreams. For some it might seem controversial, but what's the harm if others want to help you out?
Day trading might seem like a difficult thing to learn, but it doesn't have to be. Also, there are few things that can make you as much money as day trading stocks and currencies. In fact, if you get the hang of trading, you could even make enough to leave your regular day job.
No, we are not encouraging you to sell a kidney on the black market – that's both dangerous and illegal. However, there are legal ways to sell parts of your body. For example, hair and plasma are always in high demand. In some countries, women can sell their eggs and make a decent amount.
If you have some money you would like to invest, the real estate market is a great choice. With the right mindset and some time on your hands, you could buy a rundown house, renovate it and flip it to make a profit.
Affiliate marketing is a popular way to make passive income these days. All you have to do is find a target group that doesn't mind spending money online, start a website aimed at that target group, and sell products and promote businesses within that industry.
Airbnb has become an international sensation and is quickly taking over market space from the hotel industry. Renting out a room in your house using Airbnb is not only a good way to make money but also a great way to meet people from all over the world that you otherwise would have never connected with.
Lastly, the most typical way of making an extra buck is to clean out your basement or storage and sell all the stuff you're not using. Electronics, furniture, brand clothes, you name it, and someone is willing to pay for it.
One man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

Food Poisoning from Alfalfa and Clover Sprouts
The summary below is from the full report titled "Escherichia coli O157 and Salmonella Infections Associated with Sprouts in California, 1996–1998." It is in the 21 August 2001 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 135, pages 239-247). The authors are JC Mohle-Boetani, JA Farrar, SB Werner, D Minassian, R Bryant, S Abbott, L Slutsker, and DJ Vugia, for the Investigation Team.

Why did the researchers do this particular study?

What are the implications of the study?
Food poisoning is an illness that results from eating food contaminated with an infectious organism (bacteria, virus, parasite) or a toxin. More than 6 million cases of food poisoning occur every year in the United States. The most common symptoms of food poisoning are vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. People usually recover quickly from food poisoning; some people, however, may need hospitalization and fluids to treat dehydration, and a few people die of food poisoning every year. A wide variety of foods can cause food poisoning if they are spoiled, are improperly prepared, or are contaminated in the field and served raw. Several instances of food poisoning related to sprouts have been reported, but detailed information on such outbreaks has been lacking.
To describe outbreaks of food poisoning related to sprouts.
The study included 600 people with food poisoning and an approximately equal number of people without food poisoning.
The researchers studied five outbreaks of food poisoning that occurred in the United States between 1996 and 1998. They obtained information from local health departments about people with food poisoning. All of these people had cultures that were positive for E. coli O157 (a harmful strain of E. coli) or Salmonella, two types of bacteria that commonly cause food poisoning. The researchers also contacted people in the outbreak areas who did not have diarrhea or food poisoning. Both groups of people were asked questions about what they had eaten around the time of the food poisoning outbreaks. The researchers then looked to see whether food that was more commonly eaten by the people with food poisoning was purchased from particular producers, and whether it was contaminated with Salmonella or E. coli O157.
People with Salmonella or E. coli O157 food poisoning had consumed alfalfa or clover sprouts about 5 to 10 times more frequently than people without food poisoning. Three particular sprout growers were found who either used seeds or had crops that were contaminated with Salmonella or E. coli O157. The researchers identified several possible causes of contamination, such as using infected seeds, irrigating crops with unclean water, fertilizing crops with animal manure, or having livestock graze on crops.
This study does not tell us how often sprouts are contaminated with bacteria that may cause food poisoning, nor does it address how often food poisoning occurs after eating sprouts.
Alfalfa or clover sprouts can be contaminated with bacteria and cause food poisoning. The authors particularly advise against serving sprouts in facilities where food poisoning outbreaks can occur among high-risk persons, such as nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and child care centers.

There are certain characteristics of RV and boat mini storage building design that are different from standard mini storage buildings. One must pay attention to these design elements, or face customer dissatisfaction and low building utilization. Here are three RV and boat mini storage building design elements key to a successful mini storage business.
Mini storage buildings holding RV's and boats need to be located away from higher traffic mini storage buildings. These are generally items that do not get moved often. It is best to keep this traffic away from the higher volume mini storage traffic. These buildings require 40' to 50' turning radius to enter/exit the mini storage building.
This type of building needs to be no higher than 16' at any point. You will need that height to accommodate clearances of the RV or boat contents. If you exceed the eve height of 16' at any point in the RV or boat mini storage building it will require a commercial type framing. The commercial mini storage building type framing is much more expensive than standard mini storage type framing.
RV or boat mini storage buildings typically requires a commercial roll up door with 2 hole slide bolt latches on the outside. Typically the door size is 2' less than the width of the unit size and 23" below the eve height of the unit for headroom clearances. This means a 16' tall eve height building could accommodate up to a 14' commercial roll up door.
A 40'x120'x16' single slope mini storage building would have qty 10- 20'x40' units with 11'x14' doors with 2' distance between adjacent doors.
If one is to have a successful mini storage business, attention must be paid to the design characteristics of their RV and boat building design and layout. The elements to consider are the mini storage building property layout, the mini storage building height and the commercial roll up door size.


When we talk about Bitcoin, I cannot help but note a pronounced generation gap. My parents would likely say, "What is it and why would we ever give up currency and banks for something that can't be seen or measured objectively?" Or, perhaps, "What is Bitcoin?" My children might someday ask me, "Dad, what was Bitcoin like when you were little?" This divide exists in the face of any real creative disruption. It falls to those of us in the middle to answer the more pressing question of whether or not Bitcoin represents a smart investment opportunity. Last year, we saw the price of a single Bitcoin rocket from under $1,000 to a high of over $19,000. Fortunes were made, some were heralded as geniuses, and – for a moment – we stood on the precipice of a tidal shift. Armed with today's knowledge, it is easy to wish we jumped in before Bitcoin surged. We cannot subject ourselves to this kind of daydreaming because it does not solve the problem of what to do with Bitcoin today. The only real way to answer this question is to focus on your own risk tolerance.
Nobody has a crystal ball when it comes to investments – at least nobody from whom you should be taking financial advice. When I consider Bitcoin, I think about it in terms that address my risk posture today. Bitcoin was a first mover and, as such, was able to make big gains in unexplored territory. The landscape has since changed. Between Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and the scads of other cryptocurrency offerings, there is now significant competition. It would be a mistake to fall into the Blackberry mindset of thinking nobody else will pull ahead. As the industry as a whole develops, we need to stay aware of all the fish in the pond.
I wonder if my children will want to know about Bitcoin, if these cryptocurrencies are indeed here to stay. For the time being, I am willing to miss out on a few Bitcoins if it affords me peace of mind.

DuckTales Remastered art dev diary talks animation, canes
By John Funk Jul 25, 2013, 1:17pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: DuckTales Remastered art dev diary talks animation, canes
A new behind-the-scenes look at WayForward's remake of the classic DuckTales platformer focuses on the game's art and animation.
Early in development, it was important to create an appropriate look for protagonist Scrooge McDuck that reflected not only the original game, but also the Ducktales TV series and the Carl Barks comics in which Scrooge originally debuted.
The WayForward team also wanted to give the other characters in the DuckTales universe larger roles in the game rather than showing up once or twice and disappearing. This applies to Scrooge's nephews and Webby as well, but was considered all the more important for two of Scrooge's nemeses: Flintheart Glomgold and Magica de Spell.
The team had daily animation meetings, and in order to figure out how Scrooge would move with his iconic cane, game director Austin Ivansmith purchased a cane himself. He walked around with it for weeks, he said, getting used to how one moves with it and how Scrooge might idly play with it while standing still.
DuckTales Remastered launches next month for Wii U, PlayStation 3 and Windows. An Xbox Live Arcade version is planned for September.

1. Prompt students to think of nouns.
2. Each student writes in a different color.
3. Specify a time limit.
5. When teacher instructs students to begin, students take turns writing down nouns.
6. Teams continue until time is up.
There are a couple of things that I include before they begin. First, I give them think time to make their own short list. This helps all students, especially the struggling students, get their thoughts organized before they begin. Next, I instruct students that they cannot write down something that has already been written down. Last, my students love a competition! My students know that at the end of the time limit we discuss their lists, and the team with the most items is the "winner".

Q: Does GPIO.IN need to be linked to GPIO.OUT in RPi.GPIO in order for it to work properly? I was writing code on an raspbian emulator with GPIO. I am able to get it to work, but for some reason when I change the order of GPIO.HIGH and the print statement in the conditionals, it does not run properly and stops after the first click. Anyone know if this is an issue with the emulator or just a property of raspberry pi and hooking it up to hardware? It also does not work at all if I do not link the GPIO.IN with a GPIO.OUT.
this gif shows what happens when I change order or remove - It turns on the first time, but it does not turn off or on again after that. It for some reason breaks it out of the while loop.

Here is the code I am using:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
import time
#initialise a previous input variable to 0 (assume button not pressed last)
prev_input = 0
prev_input1 = 0

inputs = [11, 13, 15]
outputs = [3, 5, 7]
GPIO.setup(inputs, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(outputs, GPIO.OUT)

secs = 0

def main():
  while True:
    button_press(15, 7)
    timer = add_secs(11, 5, 2)
    #print(timer)

def button_press(button1, button2):
  #take a reading
  global prev_input
  inputa = GPIO.input(button1)
  #if the last reading was low and this one high, print
  if ((not prev_input) and inputa):
    print("Light on")
    GPIO.output(button2, GPIO.HIGH)   #code does not work if I remove/reorder this statement
  if((not inputa) and prev_input):
    print("Light off")
    GPIO.output(button2, GPIO.LOW)      #code does not work if I remove/reorder this statement
  #update previous input
  prev_input = inputa
  #slight pause to debounce
  time.sleep(0.05)

def add_secs(button1, button2, num):
  global prev_input1
  secs = 0
  inputa = GPIO.input(button1)
  if((not prev_input1) and inputa):
    secs = num
    print(secs)
    GPIO.output(button2, GPIO.LOW)      #code does not work if I remove/reorder this statement
  prev_input1 = inputa
  time.sleep(0.05)
  return secs

main()

A: I contacted the developer of the emulator and he let me know there was an issue with the emulator that is now resolved.
The code runs properly after clearing the browsing data in chrome and re-running the program.


Once in awhile I shop at Forever 21 and see what new accessories I can find. I must say that I enjoy Forever 21 more for their handbags than anything else.

Goodyear, Toyota face class actions on run-flats
Miles Moore
WASHINGTON—Goodyear and Toyota Motor Corp. are the targets of class action lawsuits in New York and California alleging that Dunlop-brand tires on Toyota Siennas from model year 2004 and beyond are defective.
The New York lawsuit was filed Oct. 31 before the New York Supreme Court, the usual trial court in that state. Roger Bernstein, a New York City plaintiffs´ attorney involved in the class action, said there was no way at present to tell the number of potential plaintiffs in the case, but added it would be well upwards of 10,000.
The California class action, filed originally in the Superior Court for Alameda County Sept. 12, was moved to federal court under the recently passed Class Action Fairness Act, according to Mark Anderson, a San Francisco plaintiffs´ attorney who helped to file the suit. The new law, supported by the tire industry and signed by President Bush in February, states that class actions with a potential monetary value above $5 million must be heard in federal court.
Anderson, who said his case involved at least 4,000 potential plaintiffs, said he planned to file a motion shortly to get the action remanded to the Alameda Superior Court.
TV stations in San Francisco were the first to run stories about Bridgestone and Dunlop original equipment run-flat tires on Toyota Siennas allegedly failing or wearing out after about 10,000 miles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received an unspecified number of complaints about the tires and is reviewing them, but has not opened a formal investigation.
When asked why Bridgestone wasn´t a defendant in the class actions, the attorneys said a substantial majority of the OE run-flat tires on the Sienna are Dunlops. It depends on the facts uncovered in the cases whether Bridgestone will subsequently be named, Bernstein said.
A Toyota spokesman said his company doesn´t comment on pending litigation or reveal the number of complaints it has received on any of its vehicles. Complaint figures are proprietary, he said.
In acknowledging the litigation, Goodyear said the suits erroneously identify Goodyear Dunlop Tire North America as the manufacturer of the run-flat tires. In fact, Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. makes the tires in Japan for Dunlop. Sumitomo will handle the litigation, the company added.
Any Dunlop owners who are dissatisfied with their tires should contact their nearest Dunlop dealers, Goodyear said. If they need any further assistance, they should call the Dunlop Consumer Assistance Center at 800-321-2136, the company added.


Animal print is a huge trend this fall/winter period. Leopard, Snakeskin and Tiger seem to be the top picks at the moment with everyone trying to show their wild side. Another classic animal inspired trend that I have recently noticed to be popping up everywhere, is feathers.
Whether it is feather accessories, delicately added feathers or an all out feather frenzy. Celebrities and fashionistas alike have been loving this look. The use of feathers in any outfit can bring an air of sophistication and glamour to any look, day or night.
Look 1 – Feathers on Bags: One of the easiest ways to wear feathers is through the use of accessories. Use your feathery bag to dress up any outfit, whether it is a trusted LBD on a night out or a jeans and statement shirt combo for a brunch date with the girls.
Jimmy Choo simply adds contrasting white feathers to this crystal embellished black suede clutch.
Bring back Clueless vibes with this Staud feather trimmed patent-leather tote in a lavender shade.
The Volon mixes velvet, metallic and feathers in this unique balloon shaped clutch. 3 of this year's biggest trends rolled into one.
Look 2 – Feathery Shoes: Shoes can make or break an outfit. Try your hand at this feather trend by making it all about a statement shoe.
Keyshia Ka'oir was seen wearing baby pink satin Prada heels with a matching wool silk Gucci playsuit while on hostess duties in Atlanta.
YSL and Steve Madden have also recently been spied with plumage. Think about paring them with simple outfits to really make these babies pop.
Look 3 – A Touch of Feathers: Feathery shoes not quite your thing? Try a simple feather trim or chic burst of feathers. A little or a lot.. it's your choice.
JLo was seen wearing a plush pink Valentino number in Qatar.
Olivia Palermo wearing a black feather trimmed Ralph Lauren top and satin maxi skirt to the American Ballet Theatre.
Even our very own Editor-in-Chic Claire Sulmers tried her hand at the trend in this bold red feathery top and matching red pants.
Look 4 – Choosing One Feathered Item: Take it to the next level by selecting one standout item with feathers such as a skirt or a top. Balance out the feathers by wearing it with something more streamline and structured to avoid looking overly puffy.
Olga Kurylenko seen at Johnny English Strikes Again premier in London wearing an off runway Attico ensemble.
Who could forget this unforgettable Cardi B Christian Cowan suit in another stunning lilac color. So iconic, it was a Halloween staple this year.
Look 5 – Feather Bomb: This final look is not for the faint hearted and best reserved for an evening event where you want to make an impact. Go OTT in a full blown feather look.
Not once, but twice we saw bride-of-the-moment Priyanka Chopra elegantly pull off feathery looks. First time was at her NYC bridal shower in a stunning Marchesa dress. The second at her bachelorette party in Georges Chakra.
In LA, Chiara Ferragni modernised the look by wearing this feather and embellished Attico mini dress in this years' most wanted color – lilac.
Bridge Heinen attended Rihanna's annual Clara Lionel Foundation Diamond Ball in an ombre pink feather belted dress, matched with silver barely-there sandals.
Queen Bee left the crowd speechless at the City of Hope gala in a radiant Ralph and Russo couture gown.
Ashlee Simpson-Ross wore another Ralph and Russo couture masterpiece to the Angel ball earlier this year. Who knew sparkles and feathers are such a match made in heaven.
Will you be trying out the feather trend? Which look will you opt for? Comment below and give the #FashionBombDaily team your thoughts.

Microsoft confirms "10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo" after Blizzard/Activision merge
ssf1991
There has been a lot of speculation and opinions from fans and industry analysts on what the Microsoft's purchase of Blizzard-Activision will mean for the latter's various IPs being released on non-Microsoft platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch.
Well, the matter has been somewhat addressed by Xbox head Phil Spencer. However, it only applies to the Call of Duty franchise. Spencer has confirmed on Twitter that Microsoft has "entered into a 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo following the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard King". Meanwhile, Call of Duty games will continue to be released on Steam. You can see Spencer's tweets about the matter down below.
I'm also pleased to confirm that Microsoft has committed to continue to offer Call of Duty on @Steam simultaneously to Xbox after we have closed the merger with Activision Blizzard King. @ATVI_AB @ValveSoftware

No one cares. Plus you will never talk aka voice chat with anyone nintendo doesnt support voice chat. Everyone knows eho plays cod or any war games you need voice chat in the system. As NS doesnt. So go ahead solo the worlds unpopular game now. Bye loser.

ChaosInvoker December 7, 2022 at 5:38 am
Like it or hate it, Call of Duty is a major franchise and it has a huge following. Also there are games that work with voice chat that are 3rd party on the Switch. Only Nintendo tries to force their phone app to chat with online play. And finally Nintendo might do away with their current phone app with the release of their next platform. This agreement will take place for the next 10 years, Nintendo likely won't continue using an unpopular phone app to have voice chat in their games going forward that many years with a potentially promising new platform likely to be the Switch's successor in a year or two.
This also confirms that Steam players will have access to these games going forward too. And they have a normal voice chat option.
Wut? December 7, 2022 at 5:39 pm
Dustin December 7, 2022 at 7:14 pm
Microsoft would literally make it in game chat or discord. Many games on switch already do this so your comment is moot
Daniel December 7, 2022 at 8:10 pm
Wow what an absolute cry baby you think Microsoft will look at this turds comment 🤡
NintendoEternal December 7, 2022 at 4:49 am
Actually norsewolf, alot of people care; in fact, over 118 Million people who purchased a Nintendo Switch Console care! And YES, you can use voice chat. I've seen my little cousin use a headset to chat to people online on Fortnite. Also, with the Nintendo Switch Online App, you can use that for voice chat too. You obviously never played call of duty on the Wii, which also had voice chat. If the wii can handle it, Nintendo Switch can too.
Dannybogard December 7, 2022 at 5:41 am
I'm not bothered by this. COD and Nintendo are like oil and water. The 2 don't mix
Wildman December 7, 2022 at 5:54 am
I used to be a monster on CoD BLops II on Wii U, so I'm happy for this. I play on my PC now, but I'm glad Microsoft is committing one of their -now- largest franchises to Nintendo platforms.

Im not really a Call of Duty fan or even a FPS fan in general but this is a great addition for The Switch library of games. Im not really a Call of Duty fan, but cool. Now if M$ can Just confirm a commitment and bring Fable to other platforms
When's CoD? December 7, 2022 at 5:38 pm
I would like a Call of Duty game for my Switch. I wonder how long it'll be before one comes out.
The deal will go through next year and Activision isn't making a new COD next year as well so they would have plenty of time to work on this for the new one and for the current one

This large scale video installation consists of 3 inseparable parts- kaleidoscope projections, object and sound, thus depicting the human perception as a kind of hologram.

Film scenes do not follow each other, but are organized as a mandala, showing the main characters subconscious deeper levels. With the help of installation thoughts are converted into three-dimensional object. Thoughts are everywhere and nowhere, they are non local. Through different religions and their symbols,this installation - the three-dimensional ennegram shows human thoughts, as well as their non local comprehensive nature and amount of information they accumulate.


An explosion of anger, regret and grief, Allan made the strongest album of his career in the aftermath of his wife's suicide. "Best I Ever Had" may have started out as a mopey rock song, but Allan's cover turned it into a mournful masterpiece. His self-written material, particularly "I Just Got Back From Hell" and "Puttin' My Misery On Display", finds him punishing himself for not paying enough attention to the warning signs, but also beginning to forgive himself and make his peace with God over the tragedy. An intense and powerful record that shouldn't be missed.
The Chicks return with their first studio album in four years, and it's a tour de force. Featuring fourteen tracks written by the Chicks themselves, with various co-writers, they turn in their most ambitious and deeply personal record, with sonic arrangements that are as textured and deep as the material they surround. Reflective, resilient and beautifully confident, this isn't so much a comeback record as a firm reminder that they're the most talented country band of their generation.
The earthy hippie who, early in her career, lovingly covered The Louvin Brothers and Merle Haggard, takes a startling left turn in what seemed like the twilight of her career. Partnering with rock producer Daniel Lanois, Harris reinvented the formula that had worked so well early in her career – covering classics and material by little-known singer-songwriters – and turned it on its head by fearlessly surrounding them in unconventional rock arrangements. Songs by Julie Miller ("All My Tears") and Gillian Welch ("Orphan Girl") stand tall among and fit perfectly with classics written by Bob Dylan ("Every Grain of Sand") and Jimi Hendrix ("May This Be Love.") There's a simmering intensity to these tracks that makes even the secular material here sound spiritual, but on the songs that do cry out to God, the tension, desperation and still-fervent faith are overwhelming.
Pam Tillis' biggest and best album is proof that you don't have to be sad and serious to make an album of substance. This is an infectious, joyous record, with Tillis' charm shining through on all ten tracks, only three of which are ballads and not one which looks at life as a glass as anything but full. She also expands the conversation of the normal country record, which is usually just a collection of love gone right and wrong, with tender songs about friendship ("Spilled Perfume") and family ("Til All The Lonely's Gone", "Calico Plains"). Throw in a crackling cover of a sixties classic ("When You Walk In The Room"), a Tex-Mex rocker with a Bo Diddley beat ("Mi Vida Loca") and a gorgeous waltz about downtime between relationships ("In Between Dances"), and you have one of the most uplifting and entertaining records in country music history.
I agree about Killin' Time, it is the best album ever. Now, for the bad news…I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing another Dixie Chicks song.

Story Time with Panorama Education
Watch videos from our library of read aloud stories
Literacy Resource for Caring Adults Supporting Kids
Resource available in the following langauges:
English | Español (Spanish) | 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese)
As the education community adapts to distance learning and supporting students outside of school buildings, we know that building literacy skills for students while also maintaining social-emotional learning is critically important. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is defined as the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
What better way to support the development of SEL and literacy skills than to focus on both at the same time through reading and storytelling? Reading aloud to children is more than just reading. It is taking them on an adventure. It is sharing what you are wondering, and it is learning how to think like a reader. Research has proven the importance and value of reading to children, and with reading comes meaningful conversation about the emotions of characters, themes of the book, relatable challenges. It also invites a reader's curiosity about something new.
In order to support educators and caretakers develop "master readers," our team wanted to share a few of our favorite children's books with you and the children you support. You'll notice that the stories we chose will also highlight characters' thoughts, challenges, and emotions. Talking through these with your child will help develop those SEL skills.
Explore our accompanying guide outlining best practices in building literacy to support you as you use the videos. We hope that this supports you as you embrace the joys of reading and storytelling with students and children.

Congressman William Keating named 2015 Southcoast Health – Hero for Health Award recipient
Jun 24. 2016 | By Southcoast Health
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — Southcoast Health today announced that Congressman William Keating has been named the recipient of the 2015 Southcoast Health – Hero for Health Award. The Southcoast Health – Hero for Health Award is presented annually to an outstanding leader who exemplifies the mission of Southcoast Health by steadfastly fighting for and promoting the optimal health and wellness in our region, state and/or country. The award was presented to Congressman Keating on Friday, May 20.
"Throughout his career, Congressman Keating has been a staunch supporter of vital healthcare initiatives and improvements for our region and the Commonwealth as a whole," said Keith Hovan, President & CEO of Southcoast Health. "He is a leading voice on a number of health-related issues, and is often ahead of the popular groundswell in identifying areas of need. He is truly deserving of this recognition."
Congressman Keating has been a leader in the effort to combat the opioid epidemic, sponsoring legislation which promoted tamper-proof pharmaceuticals, increased access to drug take-back programs and the expansion of drug monitoring programs.
"I have long been committed to improving the quality of healthcare for my constituents and I am appreciative of Southcoast Health for recognizing those efforts," said Congressman Keating. "Health systems like Southcoast continually rise to meet new public health challenges, and Congress needs to follow suit. I will keep working in Washington to lead efforts to ensure our healthcare systems have the tools needed to support our communities."
In 2013, during the government shutdown, Congressman Keating worked with the Directors at the National Institutes of Health to prioritize access to essential treatments. He cosponsored the 21st Century Cures Act, federal legislation which increases funding for research related to modern treatments for diseases including cancer, diabetes, ALS and Alzheimer's. He is a champion of the Veteran's Choice Act, which increases access to healthcare for veterans, and fought against Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital cuts, and reductions in the Medicare Area Wage Index.
Congressman Keating served in the Massachusetts Legislature as a State Representative and State Senator from 1977 through 1999, and served as the District Attorney of Norfolk County from 1999 through 2011.
He has represented the 9th Bristol Congressional District, which includes Fall River, New Bedford, Wareham, the South Shore and the Cape and Islands since 2011. He is currently a senior member on both the Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security House Committees.
Past recipients of the Southcoast Health – Hero for Health Award include former Congressman Barney Frank (2012), State Representative Patricia Haddad (2013) and Bob Unger (2014), former editor and associate publisher at SouthCoast Media Group.

Douglas R. Conant likes a challenge. The president and CEO of the Campbell Soup Company, Conant picked up the reins nine years ago when the company's share price was down and customer loyalty was on the wane. He knew that he could assemble a team to revitalize the company, revamp the product line, fuel innovation, win back customers, and make Wall Street love soup (and cookies and spaghetti sauce and juice) again.
In part one of this two-part interview, Conant described how engaging the workforce was integral to his plan. Engagement, he believes, creates trust and inspiration -- and trusting, inspired employees can accomplish extraordinary things. But he knew it would be difficult work. In fact, he predicted that it would take a decade to get the company firing on all cylinders again and the workforce engaged top to bottom.
"You need disciplined people. You need disciplined thought. Then you need disciplined action."
And Conant was right -- his strategy boosted engagement, productivity, and profitability, just as he'd expected. But before he could take a victory lap, the recession hit. In 2008, consumer packaged goods median shareholder returns dropped 25%. But as Conant explained in the first part of this series, tough times motivate and energize both him and his team at Campbell. Furthermore, as he explains in this second part of the interview, as the economy worsened, Campbell was prepared. The workforce was highly productive, innovation was bubbling, and leadership was tightly focused on winning in the workplace so Campbell could win in the marketplace.
This long process was not effortless, though. As Conant notes in this discussion, at the outset, it required assuaging Wall Street's impatience, pushing an unpopular program through a resistant workforce, and rescuing an unhealthy company -- in other words, overcoming a series of difficult challenges. Read on to discover how Conant and Campbell turned those problems into a remarkable success.
GMJ: In your first 18 months on the job, you replaced 300 of your top 350 leaders.
Douglas R. Conant: Yes, and it took about another year to get all the right people in the right seats on the bus.
GMJ: About the same time, an initial assessment of employee engagement at Campbell found that the company's scores were among the lowest of any Fortune 500 company Gallup had ever studied. Soon, though, your engagement program started showing results. What was the result of a more engaged leadership team?
Conant: The team became self-governing. As people get engaged, they get engaged in more than just their departments. They start getting engaged in the enterprise, and they have conversations with each other about how the company can move forward, not about how IT moves forward or how supply chain moves forward or how Pepperidge Farm [one of Campbell's subsidiaries] moves forward. When you're engaged in trying to do something special to lift the entire company up, all of a sudden the conversations change. People feel more accountable to each other, and they don't want to let each other down.
It actually gets easier to lead, because the flywheel starts to work. As in the Jim Collins' model, it's simple. Collins says the good-to-great model must have three things. You need disciplined people, which requires getting the right people on the bus. You need disciplined thought, which is how you will compete, and we built the strategy to do that. Then you need disciplined action.
Once you get everybody on the same page and they're all thinking about the enterprise, all of a sudden, the actions naturally become more aligned, and you become more effective in the marketplace. Then people feel even better about it. Then they want to talk to each other more. Then they want to work together more. That's the flywheel effect.
We've gotten to a point where higher executive engagement has brought a focus to the enterprise, not just to pieces of it. That just didn't exist before. My challenge now is to keep the flywheel going, to keep engagement up throughout the entire company, to make sure we have the right people on the bus, and to make sure that, at a high level, the strategy is right.
GMJ: These evolutions take time, and it's hard to explain to Wall Street -- which thinks quarter to quarter -- that you need two or three years to make substantive changes.
Conant: Well, you can't talk your way out of something you behaved your way into. This is a very mature industry. If you're a wounded company, the other companies that have been around for a hundred years will smell it, and they will take advantage of you in a heartbeat. It takes a long time to get back in fighting form. Jim Collins said it takes seven years to take a company from good to great. He said it would probably take us ten years to go from bad to great, because it takes three years to get the right people on the bus in the right seats. And he was right -- there are absolutely no shortcuts.
Before I took the job, I told the search committee, "It took years to get into this; it's going to take us years to get out." We talked about the need to create a three-year set of expectations about how we would get the company heading in the right direction again. I thought we could do it in less time, but it did take about a decade. I told the search committee, "Look, we will improve every year, but let's be realistic: We're starting out uncompetitive every day right now. At the end of three years, we will be competitive on a good day. You can take that to the bank, and we will improve every year on all the key measures."
"This recession provides a unique opportunity to seize the day, leverage the momentum we're building, and do something really special."
We communicated our three-year transformation plan to Wall Street. We set the expectations to a reasonable level. And we said, "We'll grow off this base every year." We have grown every year now for nine years.
GMJ: And now you're facing the worst economic downturn in many years.
Conant: That's just the nature of the beast. That's the challenge -- but that's what makes it exciting. That's why you need to be more engaged now. Now is the time to lift yourself up and take advantage of the strength you've created. Then get out there and do better than all these people who are saying, "Woe is me. It's a tough world. What am I going to do?"
This recession provides a unique opportunity to seize the day, leverage the momentum we're building both in the marketplace and the workplace, and do something really special. My mindset, and I would argue it's the mindset of most of the people in this company, is that we devote more of our waking hours to our work than anything we do, oftentimes more than to our families. If we can't make that work special -- meaningful in some compelling way so that we get excited about doing something special -- shame on us. Why are we devoting so much time to it? Just to earn a paycheck? That's just not enough. For me and many others at Campbell, it's about leaving a legacy.
GMJ: How do you keep engagement levels up?
Conant: You have to model the behavior; you have to be the change that you want from the company. I write a ton of personal, handwritten notes to people every day. I'm more visible. A few years ago, we started a CEO institute for some of our top leaders, and I'm very involved in mentoring. I'm actively involved in advocating diversity and inclusion work. So I'm modeling the kind of behavior that I want people to bring to the workplace.
Ultimately, you have to do the work. We measure engagement every year, and then managers meet with their teams to create action plans to improve on their results. While our managers play a critical role in building engaged teams, we know that every employee demonstrates leadership by actively taking part in their team's engagement planning. Action planning is essential for us to continuously improve our engagement levels.
GMJ: Do you think that focusing on engagement now will make Campbell a stronger company when the economy improves?
Conant: I'm hopeful, but you never take engagement for granted. I'm always worried about what's lurking around the next corner. We actually had a big blip with our global leadership team one year; their engagement dropped. When we did the work around it, we understood why.
Conant: No, it was a gift. We learned what was not working, and we were able to remedy it and go forward. I think if we do this kind of thing right, we'll be even better positioned for the future as a result.
But you know, I'm not afraid of making mistakes. The one thing you must have in this work is humility. You have to talk about mistakes and then talk about what you have learned and how to move forward. You acknowledge missteps right away, you deal with them, and you move ahead. If you don't bring a lot of humility to this work, you lose credibility.
Bill George [former CEO of Medtronic and author of Authentic Leadership and True North] is a man who did amazing things. He's also a guy who will own a mistake in a nanosecond and say, "Yeah, I made a mistake. How can we work together to fix it?" I think that's a big part of being an effective leader, because organizations can sniff out a lack of accountability. They know you made the mistake, so who are you kidding? Acknowledge it. Customers know too.
GMJ: Campbell has been around for 140 years. Over that time, it has built up many traditions, which is great -- but it can also make a company hidebound. Did you have trouble inserting a systemized plan for engagement? Or was the culture ready to accept it as much as you were ready to start?
Conant: The company wasn't ready to do this when I got here. But, you know, we didn't really have a choice. People felt as if we were on death's doorstep, and everything they had tried wasn't working. When I got here, I'm sure they thought that the engagement program wasn't going to work either and that I wasn't going to last. So the organization wasn't initially responsive to my plan. But you just have to keep working the territory and keep pushing as far as the organization is capable of going. You have to bring fierce resolve to the work. As a result of that resolve, engagement is embedded into our culture. For me, there simply is no other way.
One-time Medtronic CEO Bill George, author of Authentic Leadership and True North, reveals the importance of self-awareness for leaders. In a wide-ranging interview, he also warns of the danger of equating power with leadership; tells how to deal with sharks; and reveals some things about coping with leadership that they don't teach you in business school -- but should.

Carmel man fell into Garrapata Beach blowhole, missing since Saturday
Eduardo Cuevas
An 18-year-old Carmel man has gone missing after he fell into a blowhole and was swept underwater at the Garrapata State Park beach, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office announced Sunday.
On Saturday, the man and his friends were hiking along the trails at the beach south of Carmel when they came across a blowhole near cliffs descending to the ocean.
Officers said while the man looked closer at the blowhole, he slipped and fell onto the rocky beach below. Then, 14-foot waves that were nine seconds apart filled up the area and swept him underwater.
His friends immediately sought help, whereby members from the sheriff's search and rescue unit, Mid-Coast Fire, Cal Fire, state park rangers and lifeguards and a California Highway Patrol helicopter assisted with search efforts, according to the sheriff's office.
In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard provided a Monterey sector boat and San Francisco sector helicopter to conduct search patterns into the night.
As of Sunday, officers said the sheriff's drone operators also returned to continue search efforts, while the dive unit was evaluating conditions to conduct an underwater search.
The sheriff's office said the man is still classified as a missing person, but operations have shifted to recovery mode.

A Podspec, or Spec, describes a version of a Pod library. One Pod, over the course of time, will have many Specs. It includes details about where the source should be fetched from, what files to use, the build settings to apply, and other general metadata such as its name, version, and description.
You can create one by hand, or run pod spec create to generate a stub. Podspecs are ruby files.
The Specs Repo is the repository on GitHub that contains the list of all available pods. Every library has an individual folder, which contains sub folders of the available versions of that pod.
See the Private Pods section for an explanation of the Spec repo's file structure.
Subspecs are a way of chopping up the functionality of a Podspec, allowing people to install a subset of your library.
With the above example a Podfile using pod 'ShareKit' results in the inclusion of the whole library, while pod 'ShareKit/Facebook' can be used if you are interested only in the Facebook specific parts.
If you have some submodules in the repository you need to set the :submodules key of the s.source hash to true. Then you'll be able to specify subspec like above.
<How does the Specs Repo work?
To ensure a high quality, reliable collection of Pods, the Specs Repo is strict about the podspecs added. One of the primary purposes of this repo is to guarantee the integrity of existing CocoaPods installations.
Run pod spec lint. This is used to validate specifications. Your podspec should pass without any errors or warnings.
Update your library to use Semantic Versioning, if it already does not follow that scheme. Essentially it makes everyone's life easier.
Make sure any updates you submit do not break previous installations.
Perform manual testing of your Podspec by including the local Podspec in the Podfile of a real application and/or your demo application, and ensuring it works as expected. You alone are responsible for ensuring your Podspec functions properly for your users.
A specification cannot be deleted.
Specifications can be updated only if they don't affect existing installations.
Broken specifications can be updated.
Subspecs can be added as they are included by the parent specification by default.
Only authoritative versions are accepted.
<How do I update an existing Pod?
Create your Podspec as described above.
While pushing to Trunk, CocoaPods will perform a lint under the hood. The push will be aborted on lint error.
<How do I get my library on CocoaDocs?
CocoaDocs receives notifications from the CocoaPods/Specs repo on GitHub whenever a CocoaPod is updated. This triggers a process that will generate documentation for objective-c projects via appledoc and host them for the community. This process can take around 15 minutes after your Podspec is merged. If you host your own documentation, you can use the documentation_url.

The Songs, Scores, and Sounds of Summer 1982 Films
Powered by SUMMER OF 82
Jun 3 2022 • 9:20 AM
The Summer of 1982 is a pivotal time in pop culture history. Films like Poltergeist, E.T., Mad Max 2, Blade Runner, and TRON all hit theaters, capturing the hearts of audiences and leaving an indelible impact on their successors. Of course, it is the stories, cinematography, dialogue, and actors who anchor much of this love. But another critical aspect of their resonating success is often their scores and soundtracks.
The summer of '82 lineup represents a wide range of musical proclivities, infusing '60s nostalgia, sweeping orchestras, and the popular sounds of the time period like the synthesizer into our slate of films. Some of the songs in these films went on to be just as ubiquitous, if not more, than the properties they derive from. Or, they inspired songs for decades to come. Let's take a look back at all those epic scores, theme songs, and jams that make these Summer of 1982 films extra special. (And, there's a special treat for you at the end of this post!)
Orchestral Sounds from Warriors to Space Adventures
A common thread among our '82 film list is the use of sweeping orchestral tones in scores. We hear them in Conan the Barbarian and The Beastmaster, which is interesting considering the film's similar settings and tones. However, Conan the Barbarian's music is by Basil Poledouris while Lee Holdridge takes the reins for The Beastmaster. It makes total sense to heighten viewers' excitement in these action-packed films with a grand score filled with horns to sound war. We get this in The Beastmaster's frankly epic "The Battle On The Pyramid" part one and two.
Of course, you cannot talk about big, sweeping scores without the man, the legend himself: John Williams. His work spans several generations of moviegoers from the '70s kids who were lucky enough to experience the rise of Star Wars in theaters to '90s kids delighting in the chaotic sounds of the McCallisters running through the airport sans Kevin. In the between decade, specifically 1982, Williams made his mark on the summer. He's responsible for E.T. the Extra-terrestrial's iconic score. Empathetic, stunning, and heartfelt, his music elevates the film's touching premise. It became a winner of not one but four prestigious awards: an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Grammy, and BAFTA. Without a doubt, this is one of the most well-known scores of all-time.
John Williams isn't the only composer to drop heat in '82. Jerry Goldsmith also had quite the fantastic year with the scores for Poltergeist and The Secret of NIMH. Both soundtracks lean heavily into Goldsmith's 20th-century orchestral inspirations, swinging from the lullaby inspired theme for Poltergeist's Carol Anne to the lively, whimsical flutes of The Secret of NIMH's "Flying."
Goldsmith's signature sounds certainly resonate with Star Trek fans as he's composed five of the films. Interestingly, the Star Trek film from 1982, The Wrath of Khan, is one that doesn't feature his melodic guidance. Why? The answer is simple. The second Star Trek film was working on a shoestring budget and simply could not afford him. Yesterday's price is not today's price. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The filmmakers said they didn't want a John Williams-esque, orchestral sound but something more "modern." This seems a bit shady but that's not my business.
Synth Sounds and Billboard Hits
Anyway, the folks behind The Wrath of Khan wanted something with a nautical and swashbuckling vibe. Think Pirates of the Caribbean. And that's what budding composer James Horner, who was 28 at the time, did. He leaned towards the synthesizer, a huge component of '80s music, eschewing the orchestral sounds of E.T. and The Thing. Speaking of The Thing, while it is a John Carpenter film, the score is actually by Ennio Morricone, who takes Carpenter's dream of a "European" musical sound combined with his signature sound to heart. It's quite subtle and unsettling, just like the location in the film. Brain May's composition on Max Max 2: Road Warrior goes the opposite way with some orchestral grandeur. But it's with a Western flair to reflect that "fight me on sight" and often bleak/dusty/plain lawless atmosphere you'd get from those films.
The synth sound and/or pop rock also show up in Blade Runner (composed by Greek electronic musician Vangelis) and TRON, both films with a futuristic plot. Frustratingly, TRON's composer Wendy Carlos (who is also responsible for The Shining's haunting score) is the only woman among a sea of male composers. The TRON soundtrack also features two tracks by the rock band Journey: "Only Solutions" and "1990s Theme." The former really speaks to protagonist Kevin Flynn's experience as a man diving into a mysterious unknown world and well, producing a solution to right an egregious wrong against him.
"Only Solutions" didn't become a chart-topping hit like, oh, a little Journey tune called "Don't Stop Believin'." But there's another ubiquitous rock song from a 1982 film that is now legendary. "The Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is a staple at sporting events because it encapsulates the relentless drive of an athlete. The lyrics embody the determination to face a rival and come out on top, to get to (and remain) at the top of their game. And that's exactly what happens in Rocky III, where our titular hero is no longer the underdog working diligently for his shot.
Instead, Rocky's big into his ego until Clubber Lang knocks him on his ass literally and figuratively. Balboa's good friend Apollo Creed tells him that he must find that motivation and get the "eye of the tiger" look back. It's honestly one of the best song/film pairings of all-time, which is interesting considering this wasn't the original plan for a theme song. Sylvester Stallone wanted Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" but couldn't secure the rights to it.
So, after jamming to some Journey, he asked Jim Peterik (a Journey member) to write a song for the film. The group watched the film and, you guessed it, Apollo's speech led to this song's existence. "Eye of the Tiger" became the number one single on Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks and scored a Grammy the following year. And, who can possibly forget the Rocky's inspiring theme song that we hear when he's doing those great training montages? A true classic.
Quite a few famous radio songs interweave into Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This makes a ton of sense because, like Rocky III, it is rooted in '80s reality; however, it leans more into the pop culture of the time as a coming-of-age film. Soundtrack songs like Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby" hit high on the Billboard charts that year while other songs like "We Got the Beat" by The Go-Gos (1980) were featured in the film yet not on the official soundtrack.
Art Influencing the Future and Odes to the Past
Fast Times at Ridgemont High takes influence from pop culture at the time. Rocky III gives inspiration to a rock band. But neither of them are quite like what comes out of Annie. It's born from the 1977 Broadway musical of the same name and while its songs are not representative of the '80s sound, they are now iconic. Annie's wistful "Tomorrow" was perhaps the most optimistic musical tune since Dorothy Gale sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." It gives hope not only to those who long for love, but to our friendly neighborhood Deadpool years later as he saves Cable's life.
Speaking of long-lasting and interesting inspiration, the film's prolific composer Charles Strouse nabbed a Grammy nomination years later for "Hard Knock Life." How? Well, back in the late '90s Jay-Z not only named his third album after the tune but features a prominent sample of the song for its title track. The song was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1999 but could not defeat Will Smith's inescapable "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It." Fun times.
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and Grease 2 also fall outside of the '80s spectrum due to their narrative settings. The former is a humorous homage to film noir and detective films so the score, composed by Miklós Rózsa, reflects that with orchestral sounds that are sweeping, suspenseful, and rather romantic and dreamy.
Grease 2, on the other hand, reflects '60s high school life with some upbeat and often funny tunes. It doesn't get the same accolades as its predecessor in many ways. But it features some classics like The Four Tops "Back to School Again" and the cast singing "Who's That Guy?"
The Horror (Franchise) of It All
Finally, there are two big films from horror franchises in their third installments that have some fun music history. First, there's Friday the 13th Part III, which brings its composer Harry Manfredini back for another round. Of course, a lot of the music is for scares, including Jason's infamous "theme sound" of "ke ke ke, ma ma ma" that Manfredini spoke himself. It's become a staple in pop culture that it as vital to the franchise as the hockey mask that makes its debut in this film. But the really wild news is the disco version of Jason's song, which allegedly became a club banger. I mean… I can see it vibing at a Halloween party but the club?! It was a weird time indeed.
And, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, like its predecessors, does not have a symphonic score. Instead there's music for building tension and scary moments with John Carpenter taking the reins. The franchise's piano jam of a theme is also missing because this film doesn't have Michael Myers. Fans get a synthesizer heavy electronic tune that's a low-key jam. Many say this film is underrated and I dare say that its score is too. We also get the gift of a creepy song about Halloween coming in the tune of London Bridge.
Of course, there were lots of popular songs outside of what's featured in these fictional films. It was a little too early for Michael Jackson's Thriller greatness which came in Fall 1982. (Fun fact: Jackson did a song called "Someone in the Dark" for E.T.'s audiobook and won a Grammy for it.) But these were a few of the hot songs of the summer (May-August 1982):
"Ebony and Ivory" – Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder
"Don't You Want Me" – The Human League
"Let It Whip" – Dazz Band
"Love Come Down" – Evelyn "Champagne" King
"Jack & Diane" – John Mellencamp
"I Like It" – DeBarge
"The Message" – Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
"777-9311" – The Time
"I Keep Forgettin'" – Michael McDonald
"Do Me Baby" – Prince
"Vacation" – The Go-Go's

I could not say enough wonderful things about The Dominick, especially the front desk. Gaby has bent over backwards to make sure each and every time I have stayed at the hotel, it is absolute perfection. There is not one detail missed from the time I arrive to departure.
We had a wonderful experience here from the moment we walked in the door (and were greeted by several very friendly staff) to being upgraded to a room with a view after they heard about what a bad experience we'd had at our previous hotel, to the cleanliness of the room and beautiful decor in the entire hotel. We would definitely stay here again!
From the moment we arrived the hospitality and customer service was top notch. Gabriela went above and beyond to accommodate us, even sending up a late night snack for the kids. I highly recommend the hotel !!
We thank you for the review and for choosing The Dominick.
We are delighted you enjoyed you stay and that Gabby made your stay memorable!
Warm staffs take care of customers greatly.
We extended one day after we booked for 5 nights at around same price. However I didn't know last day's room wasn't same grade as the former 5 nights, and that means we would have to change room the last day. Since we didn't have much luggage I felt it was fine to change room to lower floors. When I mentioned this the night before we need to change, front desk agent Gabriela Bucheli took care of this nicely and we didn't have to change at last. Thanks to her thoughtfulness to customers.
When we checked out for some reason we only got last days' invoice and my credit card records confused me, I emailed Gabriela Bucheli and she replied immediately to send me full invoice and made things clear.
Lastly, I have to mention the restaurant on the second floor.  We went there 10pm the first night (it closes at 11pm). I ordered crab cake and salmon and when I told them the crab cake was cold inside, they made me a new one and the manager came to apologize and made the salmon free and gave us a complimentary desert. Except the incident, I would have to say all dishes were delicious and nicely decorated with fresh veggies and tasty sauces.
Thank you for the review and feedback and for choosing The Dominick.
We are delighted that our Staff especially Gabby was able to anticipate your needs and provided you excellent service and assistance.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to the area.
We value your feedback and we thank you for the review and for choosing The Dominick.
