On June 13th, The Economist published an opinion piece on Singapore, about blogger Roy Ngern and LHL which they entitled Butterfly on a Wheel, adding more controversy to the PR fiasco otherwise known as LHL's defamation suit.
Butterfly on a wheel carries a similar meaning to the phrase, "using a sledge-hammer to crack a nut". That phrase accurately sums up the PAP's system of knuckleduster politics and rule through control and fear and non accountability. More crucially it sums up a view that the PAP sees dissent to their policies or differences of opinion on the normally self levelling and democratising cyber-sphere as a nut that needs smashing.
Originally they attempted to tip the balance by forming an Internet Brigade but then law suits and defamation came into play. The law suits as tools of control are why we talk about Rule BY Law to emphasis that it is not the Rule OF Law which is the one necessary for democracy to function.
In Singapore we have already established that public bodies cannot sue individuals through such cases as that of Han Hui Hui. No doubt this is why LHL sued Roy in his personal capacity as a private citizen but whatever the reason, it is an incontrovertible fact that the law suit is private and personal.
It is therefore follows that any PR fiasco or disrepute attaching to the PAP or the office of the PM because of LHL's law suit is as a result of that individual's private actions. With all due respect I suggest that LHL should have given more serious consideration to his high public profile, position as a public servant and more respect for the office he represents before commencing personal litigation.
The emphasis in bold is mine. To be correct the Economist should have said, he is being sued for defamation by LHL and they could have added, who is also Singapore's PM and as such a very wealthy individual and Roy might face financial ruin. Further references in the article should have been to LHL not The PM.
What happened after that article was published is extraordinary. LHL in his official capacity as the PM directed a civil servant, his Official Press Secretary no less, and caused that person to use State resources and time and tax payer money to write a letter regarding the personal business of LHL as a private individual.
Of course there is always a danger of the private bleeding into the public. People will see overlaps that don't exist and this will create confusion in everyone from the Singaporean on the street to writers for the Economist. You can understand that confusion. LHL is suing Roy but because he is also the PM and the son of ex PM LKY known for his lawsuits, it is seen as bullying. The responsibility for that lies wholly with the man wearing both hats.
I presume it is precisely because this kind of situation is a minefield that The Ministerial Code was drawn up, to provide guidance for ministers including the Prime Minister. The code aims to hold Ministers up to certain standards and sets out rules of obligation that Ministers must abide by. Judge for yourself.
I have produced section 4.3 of the code here so that again, you can judge for yourself, whether the Prime Minster has failed to abide by his rules of obligation.
Now let us look at the letter that the PM directed his civil servant to write.
"SIR – I refer to the article "A butterfly on a wheel" (June 13th). You referred to an "alleged 'serious libel'" by Roy Ngerng. This is not an allegation. Mr Ngerng has publicly admitted accusing Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister, of criminal misappropriation of pension funds, falsely and completely without foundation. After promising to apologise and to remove the post, Mr Ngerng did the opposite; he actively disseminated the libel further. This was a grave and deliberate defamation, whether it occurred online or in the traditional media being immaterial.
What is at stake is not any short-term positive or negative impact on the government, but the sort of public debate Singapore should have. When someone makes false and malicious personal allegations that impugn a person's character or integrity, the victim has the right to vindicate his reputation, whether he is an ordinary citizen or the prime minister. The internet should not be exempt from the laws of defamation. It is perfectly possible to have a free and vigorous debate without defaming anyone, as occurs often in Singapore.
So what could or should have been done to correct the Economist's confusion? The only appropriate and correct action would have been for LHL's lawyers to defend his case to that media if they felt their client had been misrepresented as a bully.
Let's look at the money flow. LHL has instructed the lawyer Napier and Drew and is paying them from his own (albeit considerable) pocket. Any money they win for him will go back to his pocket. He may give it to charity but he sure as heck won't be giving it back to the taxpayer by reimbursing his Press secretary or his office for the use of those resources.
Now I am NOT a lawyer but I do think the PM's office or any individual public or private should have included the following in any letter.
As you can plainly see, our Press secretary refers to what Roy's defence still calls alleged defamation, as "malicious". The whole letter is sub-judice and IMHO that part more than the rest.
The consequences for a minister of a breach are clear. Again the code tells us that" Breach of any of these "rules of obligation" may expose the Minister to removal from office".
By now you are getting tired but stay with me a little longer.
How do we determine if there has been a breach? Who would investigate? Is this a breach of mis-use of State resources which is corruption or is it a breach of impartiality?
The code says, " This Code does not have the force of law and therefore any issue concerning the compliance or non-compliance with it is not subject to review by any court or tribunal.
The Code is silent on how it is to be enforced. Does enforcement rest with the Prime Minister and if so, it is not clear from the Constitution how breaches by the Prime Minister would be dealt with. The onus for investigating breaches would appear to lie with the President though this needs clarification. In matters involving corruption the President has the power under the Constitution to concur with the Director of CPIB's decision to authorise an investigation even if the Prime Minister refuses to give his consent. However the CPIB comes under the PMO so it is not independent.
The following action needs to be taken.
I and everyone else would then need to erase any copies of that letter in order not to prejudice Roy's chances of a fair hearing.
LHL's lawyer needs to write to the Economist either defending their client or alternatively explaining that the previous letter was a mistake and possibly sub judice.
For the sake of our Nation we need a fully independent CPIB distanced from the PM.
Finally as for that drivel propaganda in the letter about" free and vigorous debate" we have all seen the video of the grassroots man attempting to physically manhandle the 76 yr old retired teacher away from the microphone.


If an expert were to guess the date only by looking at grapes ripening on vines, he or she would most likely say August, even based on what we're seeing in July. Grape growers say they're facing one of the earliest harvests ever.
It's all due to the weather. The dry spring kick started the grape growing season.
In reality, every wine from every season, even from the same vineyard, is different. Early wines from warmer seasons may be bolder, with more alcohol.
If the reds seem to be ripening fast, they're nothing compared with the whites. They don't change color, they just get softer and those grapes are almost ready now. Champagne grape growers say they could be picking by the first week of August.

You'll find nearly 700 miles of trails in Washington state parks, from short interpretive nature walks to challenging long-distance treks. Deception Pass alone has 38 miles of trails that wander through forests and sand dunes, along rocky saltwater headlands, and beside clear freshwater lakes. Climb up Scarborough Hill behind historic Fort Columbia for views across the Columbia River to Oregon and beyond. Spend an afternoon hiking in the timbered Cascade foothills to thundering, plummeting, 265-foot Wallace Falls. And don't miss the gorgeous wildflowers that bloom throughout spring and summer on the Puffer Butte trails at Fields Spring.
For information on wheelchair-accessible trails, see our ADA Recreation page. For still more hiking opportunities, you can check out our long-distance trails below.
Mountain bikes are permitted on trails in nearly three dozen state parks. Beacon Rock on the Lower Columbia River has 20 miles of biking trails. Dosewallips on Hood Canal offers five miles of rideable beach. Bikers who breeze past waiting cars and onto the San Juan Island ferries are rewarded with lots of good mountain biking at scenic Moran State Park.
For still more biking opportunities, read our long-distance trails.
The Cascadia Marine Trail (PDF) (stretching along the inland waters from Olympia to Point Roberts) and the Willapa Bay Water Trail (PDF) (embracing unspoiled Willapa Bay) are the first two trails in Washington designed for kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized, beachable boats.
Water trails offer unsurpassed views of Northwest scenery and wildlife while providing access to pullouts, campsites, and other public amenities along the way.
An overnight primitive site fee is charged for state park campsites along both trails.
Horses and riders are welcome on most ocean beaches and on established trails in 10 parks. At Bridle Trails, located at the edge of metropolitan Seattle, horses have the right of way on 28 miles of trails. Battle Ground Lake has a primitive horse camping area and five miles of riding trails, while Steamboat Rock offers 10 miles of trails in a classic Central Washington landscape of sagebrush and bare basalt cliffs. Horses can be rented at Lake Wenatchee for both day and overnight pack trips. For still more riding opportunities, look at the long-distance trails below.
Take a look at various long-distance trails below.
This paved trail wanders for 37 miles alongside the Spokane River from Nine Mile Falls, just outside Spokane, all the way to the state line. (If you would like, you can keep on going right into Idaho.) Several significant historic sites are marked along the way, with many more signs still to come. The Spokane River Centennial State Park Trail is open to hikers, joggers, bikers, and in-line skaters. Certain portions of the trail are open to horses as well.
The Columbia Plateau Trail travels 130 miles from East Pasco to Fish Lake (near Spokane), through the channeled scablands and pine forests of eastern Washington. Only certain sections of these trails are currently paved or graveled. Future phased-development plans call for additional surface improvements and the addition of primitive campsites.
The Klickitat Trail runs 31 miles through stunning Columbia River Gorge country between Lyle and the Goldendale plateau. As it leaves the Columbia to follow the Klickitat River, the gentle trail leads cyclists, hikers, birders and, in some places, equestrians through dramatic Swale Canyon.
The Palouse to Cascades Trail follows the former roadbed of the Chicago-Milwaukee-St. Paul-Pacific Railroad two-thirds of the way across Washington, from the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains to the border with Idaho. The 100-mile portion from Cedar Falls (near North Bend) to the Columbia River near Vantage is open to hikers, bikers, equestrians, and horse-drawn wagons in summer, and to snowmobiles, dog sleds, and cross-country skiers in winter.
Willapa Hills State Park Trail is a 57-mile-long rail-to-trail, running east-west between the cities of Chehalis in Lewis County and South Bend in Pacific County. The trail is a key segment of Washington State Parks' plans for a cross-state trail network running from the Idaho Border to Willapa Bay, where it intersects Highway 101 near the Pacific Coast.


Commissioners invest in seniors, children and affordable housing.
Reno, Nevada. Feb. 14, 2017. The following report highlights several important agenda items from the Washoe County Board of Commissioners meeting.
1. Washoe County to review fees and charges. County Commissioners received a presentation from Budget Manager Mark Mathers regarding fees charged for certain County services. Washoe County receives approximately $61 million in user fees and charges, which is about 10 percent of the annual budget.
Mathers said in some cases that it has been many years since the County last reviewed fees set by the Board. If fees do not keep up with the cost of services, tax revenues may have to be used to subsidize the costs of these user-funded services.
2. County Commissioners approve agreement to provide affordable housing. The Board of County Commissioners approved a 2017 Interlocal Cooperative Agreement that will provide affordable housing for clients of Social Services that are on a fixed or limited income. The agreement between the Housing Authority of the City of Reno and Washoe County Social Services provides up to 25 Project Based Vouchers to qualifying recipients. The vouchers will be used for Reno Housing Authority-owned properties.
Over the past several years, it's been difficult for Social Services to secure affordable housing as the cost of rent continues to increase, however this agreement will help alleviate the problem.
3. Grant accepted to assist people in transitional housing. Commissioners accepted a $32,606 grant from the State of Nevada Behavioral Health, Prevention, and Treatment program to assist clients who are moving from transitional housing to more permanent housing.
The grant money goes toward making sure the homeless receive access to housing, treatment and services that support recovery. Clients struggle with substance abuse disorders, serious mental illness, emotional disturbance, and co-occurring mental and substance disorders.
4. Commissioners approve agreement to help children with development disabilities. County Commissioners approved a $1,000,000 contract to support education and assist children with disabilities. The contract is between the State of Nevada Behavioral Department of Health and Human Services Aging and Disability Services Division and Washoe County. The contract will automatically renew on an annual basis unless either party opts out.
The grant allows the County a placement option for children with disabilities that would otherwise not have a place to receive help. The contract provided a significant service gap in our community by providing children with much-needed services and assists families with placements outside of the home until they can be returned successfully and then provided ongoing services.
5. Commissioners accept grant for nutritional meals for Washoe County seniors. County Commissioners accepted a $41,852 grant from the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division. The money will help pay for the cost of serving Washoe County seniors nutritious meals at senior centers and at home.
The grant is part of the Nutrition Services Incentive Program, which is an Older Americans Title III program. The past 16 years Senior Services has received federal grants to offset the cost of feeding seniors. The grant is awarded based on the number of meals served annually. More than 1,000 Washoe County seniors receive a free, nutritious meal every day from Washoe County Senior Services.


Jersey is home to more FTSE companies than anywhere outside the UK, says Sara Johns of Ogier.
Jersey has long been known as a preferred tourist destination, and the Jersey Royal potato is a firm favourite among foodies. But in the last 40 years, Jersey has also established itself as a leading international finance centre, whose economic and political stability, reliable judicial system and pro-active approach to legislation and regulation has helped keep it ahead of the game in terms of attractiveness to investors.This was illustrated again in February this year when statistics published by Jersey Finance bore witness to the island's success in establishing itself as a key jurisdiction from which global businesses can access the world's equity capital markets.
According to these statistics, 110 Jersey companies are now listed on stock exchanges around the world, from North America to London, Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Hong Kong. In terms of number, this represents a reported growth of some 13 per cent since 2013. Perhaps more importantly, the statistics reveal that in 2014 the total market capitalisation of these companies increased by approximately 62 per cent to almost £269 billion. Given this, it is not entirely surprising that, by September last year, Jersey was home to more FTSE 100 companies than any other country outside the UK.
One of the main advantages of incorporating a holding company in Jersey is the ability to benefit from the island's tax neutrality. Another key advantage is the flexibility provided by the island's corporate laws. From a tax point of view, a Jersey holding company pays no income or capital taxes in Jersey and is not obliged to make withholdings on its dividends. It also suffers no local stamp duty on the issue or transfer of its shares. Long term, this can give Jersey companies a real edge over their competitors based in other jurisdictions, where the tax rates may be higher or may be subject to change.
From a legislative perspective, the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 in many ways resembles the equivalent statute in the UK and so is conceptually familiar to many potential investors. However, in a number of key aspects – for example, the sources from which dividends can be paid and from which shares can be repurchased - Jersey offers greater flexibility than the UK. It is this flexibility which potentially gives Jersey companies a significant advantage when it comes to attracting investment.
It is not just large FTSE 100 companies that have recognised the opportunities this fiscal and legislative landscape affords. Newer, smaller businesses looking to attract initial public investment have also chosen to use a Jersey holding company to access the equity capital markets. 57 Jersey companies are now listed on London's AIM market, the exchange which is specifically designed for small to medium sized enterprises.
Among these AIM companies are Boohoo, the online own-brand fashion retailer which raised £300 million when it went to market in March 2014, and MySale, a leading Australian online retailer backed by Top Shop owner Sir Philip Green, which raised £40 million when it listed three months later. In coming to market, these companies had a lot in common: both had a proven track record and a compelling offering, both sought funds to help them accelerate growth into identified new territories, and both were successful at the placing price.
In Asia, similarly, Jersey's status as a leading player in the equity capital markets has not been overlooked. China, in particular, has recognised that Jersey offers a highly reputable and advantageous gateway via which to access the UK markets. According to the recent Jersey Finance statistics, around 20% of Chinese companies listed on AIM are now incorporated in Jersey. These include new entrant GTS Chemical Holdings Plc, the largest Chinese manufacturer of ammonium sulphite, which joined in 2014.
Meanwhile, looking Eastwards, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange approved Jersey as an overseas jurisdiction more than five years ago, opening the door for the associated listing of UC RUSAL and the later listing of other Jersey companies, including Glencore Xstrata, on the Hong Kong exchange. As a result, businesses wishing to access Asian investment can do so using a Jersey incorporated company.
But Jersey companies are not just making their mark on the equity capital markets. Jersey debt-issuing vehicles, too, also continue to be used successfully, particularly by large corporates and private equity houses, to raise funding for mergers, acquisitions and other event-driven corporate finance requirements. This is often a more cost-effective alternative to bank lending and frequently involves the issue of high yield bonds, such as those used by Avis Budget to finance its $500 million acquisition of Zipcar in 2013.
Convertible bonds, too, also remain a popular tool in Jersey's kit-box. In addition to the more typical placing of shares or rights issues, these convertible bonds are often issued by Jersey special purpose vehicles in so-called "cash box" structures to facilitate the creation of distributable reserves or funds for M&A activity by UK-incorporated, UK-listed Plcs, without the need to apply pre-emption provisions on the issue of shares.
With its stable foundations, its compelling equity and debt offerings, and the presence of its companies on exchanges across the globe, Jersey is a small island which offers big opportunity. Its appeal to the Chinese business community, in particular, is expected to lead to further growth. As 2015 unfolds, the island has never been better placed to build upon its success in these markets.

Start | Country Music | Performers «J» | Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed 20.3.1937-1.9.2008
Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937 – September 1, 2008), known professionally as Jerry Reed, was an American country music singer, guitarist, and songwriter, as well as an actor who appeared in more than a dozen films. His signature songs included "Guitar Man," "U.S. Male," "A Thing Called Love," "Alabama Wild Man," "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot" (which garnered a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance), "Ko-Ko Joe," "Lord, Mr. Ford," "East Bound and Down" (the theme song for the 1977 blockbuster Smokey and the Bandit, in which Reed co-starred), "The Bird," and "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)."
Reed was announced as an inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame on April 5, 2017 and was officially inducted by Bobby Bare on October 24.
Background information From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reed was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the second child of Robert and Cynthia Hubbard. Reed's grandparents lived in Rockmart, and he would visit them from time to time. He was quoted as saying as a small child, while running around strumming his guitar, "I am gonna be a star. I'm gonna go to Nashville and be a star." Reed's parents separated four months after his birth, and he and his sister spent seven years in foster homes or orphanages. Reed was reunited with his mother and stepfather in 1944.
By high school Reed was already writing and singing music, having picked up the guitar as a child. At age 18 he was signed by publisher and record producer Bill Lowery to cut his first record, "If the Good Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise." At Capitol Records he recorded both country and rockabilly singles to little notice, until label mate Gene Vincent covered his "Crazy Legs" in 1958. By 1958 Lowery signed Reed to his National Recording Corporation, and he recorded for NRC as both artist and as a member of the staff band, which included other NRC artists Joe South and Ray Stevens.
Reed married Priscilla "Prissy" Mitchell in 1959. They had two daughters, Charlotte Elaine "Lottie" Hubbard Zavala, and Seidina Ann Hubbard, born April 2, 1960. Priscilla Mitchell was a member of folk group "the Appalachians" ("Bony Moronie," 1963), and was co-credited with Roy Drusky on the 1965 Country No. 1 "Yes Mr. Peters."
In 1959 Reed hit the Billboard "Bubbling Under the Top 100," also known as Roar and Cashbox Country chart with the single "Soldier's Joy." After serving two years in the United States Army, Reed moved to Nashville in 1961 to continue his songwriting career, which had continued to gather steam while he was in the Army, thanks to Brenda Lee's 1960 cover of his "That's All You Got to Do." He also became a popular session and tour guitarist. In 1962 he scored some success with two singles "Goodnight Irene" (as by Jerry Reed & the Hully Girlies, featuring a female vocal group) and "Hully Gully Guitar," which found their way to Chet Atkins at RCA Victor, who produced Reed's 1965 "If I Don't Live Up to It."
Reed is particularly noted and respected by his musical contemporaries and new generation alike for his unique and intricate picking technique, as seen in his composition "The Claw". As of December 2017, this highly challenging technique is both admired and attempted on numerous video instructional sites throughout YouTube by pros and amateurs alike.
«Guitar Man»
In July 1967 Reed had his best showing on the country charts (#53) with his self-penned "Guitar Man," which Elvis Presley soon covered. Reed's next single was "Tupelo Mississippi Flash," a comic tribute to Presley. Recorded on September 1, the song became his first Top 20 hit, going to No. 15 on the chart. In a remarkable twist of fate, Elvis came to Nashville to record nine days later on September 10, 1967, and one of the songs he became especially excited about was "Guitar Man."
Reed recalled how he was tracked down to play on the Elvis session: "I was out on the Cumberland River fishing, and I got a call from Felton Jarvis [then Presley's producer at RCA]. He said, 'Elvis is down here. We've been trying to cut "Guitar Man" all day long. He wants it to sound like it sounded on your album.' I finally told him, 'Well, if you want it to sound like that, you're going have to get me in there to play guitar, because these guys [you're using in the studio] are straight pickers. I pick with my fingers and tune that guitar up all weird kind of ways.'"
Jarvis hired Reed to play on the session. "I hit that intro, and [Elvis's] face lit up and here we went. Then after he got through that, he cut [my] 'U.S. Male' at the same session.
I was toppin' cotton, son." Reed also played the guitar for Elvis Presley's "Big Boss Man" (1967), recorded in the same session.
On January 15 and 16, 1968, Reed worked on a second Presley session, during which he played guitar on a cover of Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business," "Stay Away," and "Goin' Home" (two songs revolving around Elvis's film Stay Away, Joe),as well as another Reed composition, "U.S. Male" (Reed's quoted recollection of "U.S. Male" being recorded at the same session as "Guitar Man" being incorrect).
Elvis also recorded two other Reed compositions: "A Thing Called Love" in May 1971 for his He Touched Me album, and "Talk About The Good Times" in December 1973, for a total of four.
Johnny Cash would also release "A Thing Called Love" as a single in 1971, which would reach No. 2 on the Billboard Country Singles Chart for North America. It was also successful in Europe. It would become the title track for a studio album that he released the following spring.
After releasing the 1970 crossover hit "Amos Moses", a hybrid of rock, country, funk, and Cajun styles, which reached No. 8 on the U.S. pop charts, Reed teamed with Atkins for the duet LP Me & Jerry. During the 1970 television season, he was a regular on "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour", and in 1971, he issued his biggest hit, the chart-topper "When You're Hot, You're Hot", which is a story song, with the majority of the lyrics being talked out rather than sung. The song concerns the singer's near success shooting dice, a police raid, and a judge who is supposedly a fishing buddy of the singer, but who nevertheless sends him down for gambling.
Aside from being a major crossover hit, "When You're Hot, You're Hot" earned Reed the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male
"When You're Hot, You're Hot" was the title track of Reed's first solo album, reaching No. 9 Pop and No. 6 on Billboard's Easy Listening charts. The singles from the album, "Amos Moses" and "When You're Hot, You're Hot" sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs by the R.I.A.A. The album also features songs such as Reed's version of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town," and John D Loudermilk's free-wheeling song "Big Daddy (Alabami Bound)."
A second collaboration with Atkins, Me & Chet, followed in 1972, as did a series of Top 40 singles, which alternated between frenetic, straightforward country offerings and more pop-flavored, countrypolitan material. A year later, he scored his second number one single with "Lord, Mr. Ford" (written by Dick Feller), from the album of the same name.
Atkins, who frequently produced Reed's music, remarked that he had to encourage Reed to put instrumental numbers on his own albums, as Reed always considered himself more of a songwriter than a player. Atkins, however, thought Reed was a better finger-style player than he himself was; Reed, according to Atkins, helped him work out the fingerpicking for one of Atkins's biggest hits, "Yakety Axe." Reed, one of only five people to have the title of Certified Guitar Player (an award bestowed only to those who have completely mastered guitar), was given this title by Chet Atkins.
Reed was featured in animated form in a December 9, 1972, episode of Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo Movies, "The Phantom of the Country Music Hall" (prod. No. 61-10). He sang and played the song "Pretty Mary Sunlight." The song is played throughout the episode as Scooby and the gang search for Reed's missing guitar.
In the mid-1970s, Reed's recording career began to take a back seat to his acting aspirations. In 1974 he co-starred with his close friend Burt Reynolds in the film W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings. While he continued to record throughout the decade, his greatest visibility was as a motion-picture star, almost always in tandem with headliner Reynolds; after 1976's Gator, Reed appeared in 1978's High-Ballin' and 1979's Hot Stuff. He also co-starred in all three of the Smokey and the Bandit films; the first, which premiered in 1977, landed Reed a No. 2 hit with the soundtrack's "East Bound and Down."
In 1977 Reed joined entrepreneur Larry Schmittou and other country music stars, such as Conway Twitty, Cal Smith, Larry Gatlin, and Richard Sterban, as investors in the Nashville Sounds, a minor league baseball team of the Double-A Southern League that began play in 1978.
He made two guest appearances on the sitcom Alice, in 1978 and 1981.
Reed also took a stab at hosting a TV variety show, filming two episodes of The Jerry Reed Show in 1976.
Scottish rockers The Sensational Alex Harvey Band released a version of "Amos Moses" in 1976.
In 1979 he released a record comprising both vocal and instrumental selections titled, appropriately enough, "Half & Half." It was followed one year later by Jerry Reed Sings Jim Croce, a tribute to the late singer/songwriter. He also starred in a TV movie in that year entitled Concrete Cowboys.
In January 1980 Reed began work on the "Guitar Man" re-recording being produced by Elvis's producer Felton Jarvis. With a new "hopped up" guitar line, and Elvis on lead vocals, Reed and the band gave the song an adrenaline punch that shot it straight to No. 1 on the country charts.
In 1982 Reed's career as a singles artist was revitalized by the chart-topping hit "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)," followed by "The Bird," which peaked at No. 2. His last chart hit, "I'm a Slave," appeared in 1983. That same year, he co-starred with Robin Williams and Walter Matthau in the Michael Ritchie comedy The Survivors. Reed guest-starred in the October 13, 1983, episode of Mama's Family, "The Return of Leonard Oates" (Episode 13, Season 2), as Naomi Harper's exhusband.
He accepted the invitation to open for the British group Dexys Midnight Runners in the US in 1984, yet left the tour early to appear on the country music comedy TV show Hee-Haw.
After an unsuccessful 1986 LP, Lookin' at You, Reed focused on touring until 1992, when he and Atkins reunited for the album Sneakin' Around before he again returned to the road. In the meantime, Reed appeared in several interviews and commercial spots for Mid-South Wrestling.
Reed had a role as a commander/Huey pilot for Danny Glover's character in the 1988 movie Bat*21 starring Gene Hackman. He also acted as executive producer and screenwriter on this film.
Reed starred in the 1998 Adam Sandler film, The Waterboy, as Red Beaulieu, the movie's chief antagonist and the head coach for the University of Louisiana Cougars football team.
He teamed up with country superstars Waylon Jennings, Mel Tillis, and Bobby Bare in the group Old Dogs. They recorded one album, in 1998, entitled Old Dogs, with songs written by Shel Silverstein. (Reed sang lead on "Young Man's Job" and "Elvis Has Left The Building," the latter possibly in deference to Elvis' helping launch his career.)
In 1998 the American rock band Primus covered the Reed song "Amos Moses" on the EP titled Rhinoplasty.
In October 2004, "Amos Moses" was featured on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack, playing on fictional radio station K-Rose. In 2007 UK band Alabama 3 (Known as A3 in the USA) covered his hit "Amos Moses" on their album M.O.R.
In June 2005, American guitarist Eric Johnson released his album Bloom, which contained a track titled "Tribute to Jerry Reed" in commemoration of his works.
Reed has appeared as a guest on the fishing television series Bill Dance Outdoors. In one memorable appearance, Reed caught a particularly big largemouth bass and planned to have it preserved and mounted by a taxidermist.
Host Bill Dance objected to this plan and freed the fish when Reed wasn't looking. Reed became enraged when he discovered what had happened and chased Dance off the boat and to shore. This incident was also mentioned in one of Jeff Foxworthy's stand-up comedy routines.
"She Got The Goldmine" was used in the 2010 film, The Bounty Hunter during the scene where Milo (Gerard Butler) searches Nicole's (Jennifer Aniston) apartment.
"You Took All the Ramblin' Out of Me" was used in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V, on the radio station Rebel Radio Jerry's song "Amos Moses" was also covered by the band County Road 5.
Personal life and death
Reed married country singer Priscilla Mitchell on July 9, 1959; they had two daughters, who also became country singers.
Reed died in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 1, 2008, of complications from emphysema at the age of 71. One week later, during their debut at the Grand Ole Opry, Canadian Country Rockers "The Road Hammers" performed "East Bound and Down" as a tribute. In a tribute in Vintage Guitar Magazine, Rich Kienzle wrote that "Reed set a standard that inspires fingerstyle players the way Merle and Chet inspired him." He was survived by Mitchell and their two daughters. Mitchell died following a short illness on September 24, 2014, at the age of 73.
Reed was a smoker for many years. Thom Bresh, son of Merle Travis and a close friend of Reed's, produced a 1990s video with Reed acting out his desire to quit the addictive cigarettes ("Jerry Reed-Another Puff") that serves as a public service video from Reed himself on the dangers of smoking cigarettes.

1st. Efficient drug delivery to the ocular tissues faces several challenges due to the presence of several dynamic and static barriers, such as the blood–ocular barrier, tear formation and the low permeability of the cornea. Several nanomedicines have been formulated and evaluated for ocular drug delivery over the years, among which are polymeric micelles, liposomes, hydrosizes, polymer-drug and protein-drug conjugates [1]. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no examples of biodegradable systems, comprising materials which are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), being also capable of slowing down the release profile of drug, reported in the literature. Hence, the development of drug delivery systems that can ensure a suitable drug concentration for a prolonged time in different ocular tissues is certainly of great importance. In the present thesis, we aimed to develop polymeric nanocarriers for the encapsulation and delivery of Flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Flurbiprofen is used before an ocular surgery in order to reduce or prevent miosis and it's also used orally for the symptomatic treatment of arthritis. In the first part of this thesis, amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide) (PEG-b-PLLA) diblock and PLLA-b-PEG-b-PLLA triblock copolymers were synthesized. For the polymer synthesis, the ring-opening polymerization of the hydrophobic monomer L-lactide was used [2]. Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a type of chain-growth polymerization in which the terminus of the polymer chain attacks the cyclic monomer to form longer polymer chains. The polymerization was carried out in the presence of stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)2) as the catalyst. The successful synthesis of the polymers was verified by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) whereas their composition was determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. In the second part of this thesis, the amphiphilic copolymers were self-assembled in water to form micellar structures, able to encapsulate small hydrophobic molecules [3]. The nanocarriers were prepared by dissolution of the polymer in an organic solvent followed by the dropwise addition of the aqueous phase. The size of the nanocarriers was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The shape and the morphology of the nanocarriers was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Next, the release profile of Flurbiprofen from the polymeric nanocarriers was studied. Polymeric micelles from the diblock copolymer showed a release rate of 100% in four days of 8μg of Flurbiprofen, while micelles from the triblock copolymer had a release of 100% of 2.5μg of the drug at the same time. The more complex mixed micelles released 50% of the load in 6 hours and reached 100% release in 7 days, demonstrating a slower release rate compared to the diblock and triblock micelles.
2nd. The presence of many dynamic and static obstacles in the ocular tissues, such as the blood-ocular barrier, tear production, and the cornea's limited permeability, renders the effective ocular drug delivery a challenging task. Polymeric micelles, liposomes, hydrogels, polymer-drug, and protein-drug conjugates are examples of the modalities developed and tested, throughout the years, for ocular drug delivery [1]. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on biodegradable systems, which include FDA-approved materials, that are also capable of slowing down the drug release profiles, documented in the literature so far. As a result, the development of drug delivery systems that can maintain an appropriate drug concentration in various ocular tissues for an extended period of time is of great importance. In the present thesis, we have developed polymeric nanocarriers for the encapsulation and delivery of Flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, used in ocular therapy. Next, hydrogels comprising a oxidized, natural polysaccharide, dextran, were used as a matrix to incorporate these nanocarriers, as it has been shown that hydrogels can prolong the release of the drug molecules into the medium [2]. In the first part of this thesis, amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide) (PEG-b-PLLA) diblock and PLLA-b-PEG-b-PLLA triblock copolymers were synthesized. For the synthesis of the diblock and triblock copolymers, ring-opening polymerization of the hydrophobic monomer, L-lactide, was carried out using monohydroxy and dihydroxy PEG as the macroinitiator, respectively [3]. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was employed to confirm the successful synthesis of the copolymers and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy was used to ascertain their composition. Next, the amphiphilic copolymers were self-assembled into micellar structures in water, which entrapped small hydrophobic drug molecules within their micellar cores [4]. Micelles were prepared from both the diblock and triblock copolymers, as well as from a mixture of the two copolymers in order to form more complex structures. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to determine the hydrodynamic size of the nanocarriers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to confirm the morphology of the nanocarriers. Next, the release profile of flurbiprofen from the polymeric nanostructures was studied. All the micellar structures released the drug within 4 days reaching 100% of release. Thus, the different chemical composition of the copolymers was not able to slow down sufficiently the release kinetics of the drug. In the second part of this work, to further slow-down the release profile of flurbiprofen from the polymer carriers, we developed biodegradable hydrogels and incorporated the drug loaded micellar structures within their porous structures. The hydrogels were prepared through the reaction of oxidized dextran (Ald-Dex), which bears aldehyde groups, with adipic acid dihydrazide (AAD), to form acylhydrazone bonds. The crosslinker, adipic acid dihydrazide, ranged between 10 and 30 wt% with respect to the polymer. The synthesized hydrogels were characterized in terms of their chemical composition and morphology by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and SEM, respectively. Next, the flurbiprofen loaded polymeric nanocarriers were incorporated within the hydrogels and the release profile of the drug molecules was studied. The hydrogels were found to release 100% of the payload within 7 days, exhibiting a delay in the drug release profile compared to the micellar system alone.

Aaron Sorkin apologizes to Tim Cook for 'Steve Jobs' jab
Marianne Zumberge • Variety
Sep 26, 2015 • Last Updated September 26, 2015 • 1 minute read
LOS ANGELES - Aaron Sorkin has issued an apology to Apple CEO Tim Cook after the two engaged in some indirect verbal sparring over Sorkin's work on the film "Steve Jobs."
Cook allegedly kicked things off by describing the film, which stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs, as "opportunistic" during an interview on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert." He added, "I hate this. It's not a great part of our world."
In response, Sorkin fired back in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
"Nobody did this movie to get rich," Sorkin said. "Secondly, Tim Cook should really see the movie before he decides what it is."
He added, "Third, if you've got a factory full of children in China assembling phones for 17 cents an hour you've got a lot of nerve calling someone else opportunistic."
Sorkin's apology arrived via E! News video on Saturday morning. In it, the screenwriter says, "You know what, I think that Tim Cook and I probably both went a little too far. And I apologize to Tim Cook. I hope when he sees the movie, he enjoys it as much as I enjoy his products."
"Steve Jobs," a Universal release directed by Danny Boyle, bows in theaters Oct. 9.

Q: iOS http POST request I have an API on the server that I am trying to get a JSON response from. I have used several request tools to simulate a call, and get the correct data back each time. Here is my request setup:
NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"user_id=%@&last_sync=%@",user_id, last_sync];
NSURL *directoryURL = [NSURL URLWithString:directoryURI];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:directoryURL];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:[NSData dataWithBytes:[post UTF8String] length:[post length]]];

The content type is also the same on my simulated requests. There are no errors returned, just no content.

A: I use the AFNetworking library, which takes a lot of the pain out of HTTP comms.
My POST calls are along the lines below:
NSURL *nsURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://someurl.com"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:nsURL];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request addValue:@"xxxx" forHTTPHeaderField:@"yyy"]; // for any header params you want to pass in
[request addValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request addValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];

// If you need to pass any JSOn data to your WS
if (json != nil) [request setHTTPBody:json];

AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request
success:^(NSURLRequest *returnedRequest, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON)
{
    ...
}
failure:^(NSURLRequest *returnedRequest, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON)
{
       ...
}];

A: Figured it out. Apparently, unlike the simulators, NSMutableRequest does NOT like when you use a combination of POST variables, and a querystring variable in the URL. Moved the variable into the POST body and everything works fine now.

A: If you are using POST method, you have to convert your string into NSData format.
Hope this will help.

A: URL Form Parameter Encoding

[[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] requestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:URLString parameters:parameters];
POST http://example.com/
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

foo=bar&baz[]=1&baz[]=2&baz[]=3
JSON Parameter Encoding

[[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer] requestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:URLString parameters:parameters];
POST http://example.com/
Content-Type: application/json

{"foo": "bar", "baz": [1,2,3]}

Compelling People — Interesting Lives
Rumer Willis Interview: Life Is a Cabaret of Love
Written by Melissa Parker, Posted in Interviews Musicians
Image attributed to Rumer Willis
Rumer Willis has announced her first ever United States concert tour, slated to kick off October 12, 2016, in Denver, Colorado. The "Over The Love" tour is her first extended musical outing with her band, performing a chanteuse-style variety show of timeless standards ranging from cabaret and jazz to classic R&B and contemporary pop. Showcased in an intimate setting, Willis will take the audience through a set list of personal, handpicked songs, as well as a handful of original material recently written and recorded with writer and producer Linda Perry.
The oldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Willis started a weekly residency in 2014 at the famed Sayers Club in Hollywood, where she honed her stage presence and sultry vocals. She starred as Rosie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, starred in the film adaptation of the musical Hello Again and made her solo cabaret debut at the Café Carlyle, receiving rave reviews from The New York Times and other publications. Willis won the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2015 and is currently working on her debut album with Linda Perry.
"I always felt like music from that era really had a different level of emotion in it and a deeper sentiment than the music that's out today. It's very much my dad's musical tastes, and my mom played a lot of that kind of stuff as well. I think it's just one of those things where you tend to like the kind of music that you grew up on."
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): You are embarking on your first U.S. tour. Why did you decide to do it?
Rumer Willis: I decided to do it because I've always been a singer my whole life, and I think I just spent the last few years trying to figure out how I wanted to first present that to the world. After doing Café Carlyle, I thought that I must take this to other places and have other audiences and meet other people. I'm most definitely excited!
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Why did you call it the "Over The Love" tour?
Rumer Willis: Well, I think love and relationships are things that everybody, no matter where you come from, what your job is or how much money you have, can relate to. Love is the universal thing that people identify with. I talk to the audience, and they share their funny stories about relationships. It's a fun night.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): When did you become a fan of the American Songbook?
Rumer Willis: Oh, since I was a little kid. That's the music I was raised on. My dad always played a lot of that kind of music for me. I always felt like music from that era really had a different level of emotion in it and a deeper sentiment than the music that's out today. It's very much my dad's musical tastes, and my mom played a lot of that kind of stuff as well. I think it's just one of those things where you tend to like the kind of music that you grew up on.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): You had classical training when you were young?
Rumer Willis: I did. I went to a boarding school in Michigan studying theater and classical opera.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): How did you get together with Linda Perry to write music?
Rumer Willis: Linda asked me to perform at the LGBT event called "An Evening with Women," where performers were there to raise money. I said, "Yes." After that, we spoke a little bit, and I told her I wanted to work on an album and start that process. She asked me to come write with her. We started writing just really amazing songs.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Will the debut album be released on an independent label?
Rumer Willis: We haven't gotten that far with it yet. We're still in the process. I've tried to work on it, but every time I get a break from one project, I seem to have another one to come into my lap, which is definitely not a bad thing and something I'm extremely grateful for. So, I'm still working out exactly what it's going to be. But, I've thrown a few of my own songs into the upcoming shows.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Was your first love actually music and not acting?
Rumer Willis: Music, I feel like, has always definitely been my first love. But, I never wanted to limit myself creatively. I think acting is also such another incredible way to express yourself. So, I've been lucky enough to have a chance to do both. I spent most of my 20s exploring acting, and I feel like now is the perfect time to work on music.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Do you derive equal pleasure from both music and acting?
Rumer Willis: Ooh. Good question. I do feel like when you're acting or singing, it's a way to connect with people. You can be with your friends watching a movie and go, "Oh. I thought I was the only one that felt like that." Then, you realize somebody else felt like that, too, or go sing a song that really makes somebody feel something, or they connect to that emotion as well. So, I think it's all about sharing yourself. For me, it's like having a conversation with the audience.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): They say that oldest children are usually mature, self-disciplined and leaders. Does that describe you?
Rumer Willis: Yeah. I mean, I feel very grateful to be part of a clan of five daughters my dad has. I think I'm the most grateful to both of my parents for just never stifling my creativity and for always going along with whatever I wanted to do whether it was Dancing with the Stars or doing my own tour or acting. I'm always just forever grateful for them for that.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): As a child, did the fame and the paparazzi effect you?
Rumer Willis: The thing about that is I've never known anything else, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. For me, it's just what my life is. I've had some incredible opportunities that have come my way. I think that's anybody's life. You have a different set of things that you come into the world with, that you deal with, and I just try to take every part of that and be grateful for it.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Your sister, Scout, tweeted about your tour, and she called you her dearest, angelic goddess of a sister.
Rumer Willis: (laughs) I love my sisters very much. I feel so lucky to have them, to have such a close relationship with them.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Your family certainly supported your efforts during Dancing with the Stars.
Rumer Willis: I couldn't have asked for better support and cheering section than them. They were there every week and showed up for me, even flew across country sometimes to make sure they were there rooting me on. It was so amazing to have them in the audience every week.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): After the Dancing with the Stars win, you dedicated your Mirrorball trophy to any of the fans that did not believe in themselves. When did you start to believe in yourself?
Rumer Willis: I think for everybody, no matter where you've grown up or what you do, the journey to self-exploration and self-love is one that just doesn't happen overnight. You can spend your whole life figuring out who you are. Sometimes that can be hard. I think you've just got to work every day on being confident and being exactly who you are and not comparing yourself to anybody else and just remembering that you should show your unique talent to the world and never be afraid to.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Did you have fun filming the indie thriller What Lies Ahead?
Rumer Willis: Oh, I had a great time. It was really fun for me to get to play a character like that and to be able to do incredible fight stuff like my dad. That was really fun for me.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Hello Again is a musical?
Rumer Willis: It is a musical movie based on a Broadway play from quite a long time ago, and it's quite tragic. But, its different vignettes through time from the 1920s or before to present time. I think the director did an incredible job of taking a musical and really making it accessible to a movie genre.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Former Grey's Anatomy alum, T.R. Knight, sings?
Rumer Willis: He does and he actually plays my husband.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): What do you think about Grace VanderWaal winning America's Got Talent instead of Brian Justin Crum?
Rumer Willis: We were definitely a little bummed out, but I have to say, I think that at the end of the day, regardless of winning, he got himself out there. I hope that by seeing Brian and all that he accomplished on the show, it will give others a boost of confidence to see that they can do it as well.
But, I think that Grace is a very talented little girl, and I wish her the best. I hope to see more from her because I think she's got a great talent. I can't imagine to be that young and already have all that going on.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Other than music and acting, what are you passionate about?
Rumer Willis: Obviously, I love to dance. But, I think I'm still figuring that out. I want to hopefully get more involved in anti-bullying campaigns to help kids and everyone and figuring out how to lend my voice to make sure that doesn't happen to anyone.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Would you like to reprise your guest role on Hawaii Five-O or return to television in some capacity?
Rumer Willis: There's definitely an interest. If something came up, I'd love to be a part of it. I had a great time doing Hawaii Five-O, and I love opportunities like that.
Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): How do you spend your social time?
Rumer Willis: I'm pretty much a homebody most of the time. I have my dogs, and I love spending time with them and hanging out with my family and friends. I'm a pretty mellow girl. Sometimes, it's nice to go on a hike with my dogs to just appreciate what you have and to just live in the present moment.

Learn which tools are recommended for testing data exchange and interoperability issues.
Testing data exchanges involves using several types of tools, and possibly a mix of custom-developed tools as well. Intuitive, relatively easy-to-use tools are essential to avoid having to spend significant time on the tool rather than testing. Regardless of the software methodology used, testing teams usually have more to do than they have qualified resources. It's not an uncommon scenario as more businesses need to maximize profit with minimal resources. Tools used for testing must provide value and fit into the testing routine without excessive need for duplicate work or additional system setup.
I have found that the following tools provide exceptional value, are relatively simple to learn and are easy to use to uncover information.
Ensemble. InterSystems Ensemble is a platform for integration and for developing connected applications. According to InterSystems, Ensemble is used for advanced integrated systems, replacing time-consuming point-to-point methods. The platform enables software developers to create easily connectable applications that share data.
For testers, Ensemble provides the unusual ability to easily track and view messages of multiple types and formats. Rather than digging through and attempting to view messages in Unix or Linux using outdated editors, Ensemble provides an easy-to-read method of accessing and viewing all types of messages at any point in the process. Testers can view a UI and access a message at any point in the path -- both inbound and outbound.
Additionally, Ensemble offers optional viewing methods, and users can copy and paste message text easily into other applications. Ensemble is an exceptional tool for testing and viewing messages in transit.
SoapUI and SoapUI Pro. Using SoapUI or SoapUI Pro is useful for creating repeatable tests against multiple endpoints. Using the tools, testers can simulate inbound messages against varying endpoints. Tests can be saved and reused, or used to develop an automated test suite. Testers can use the tool to create repeatable and editable requests and view responses in multiple display forms. Granted, multiple tools are available to test requests and responses on a server, but it makes more sense to reduce the number of tools used where possible.
The Pro version includes several security tests that can be added to the test suite with moderate effort. Some of the tests may be easier to run directly, but testers may find value in picking particular security tests and adding another layer of testing to their endpoint tests. The tool takes some getting used to, but once a tester gets the hang of creating and editing projects, it's a relatively quick and effective testing tool.
Database viewers. A database viewer is an essential tool if testers are unable to access an end user's application or something that simulates it effectively. Typically, the software development system includes a database viewer that the testing team can use. A large number of free and open source tools are available to use, depending on the database type. But in my experience, the most valuable database viewing tools are SQL Developer, SQL Server and Toad. SQL Server is available within Microsoft Visual Studio; SQL Developer and Toad are available in free or paid versions.
What are the tools that have been most beneficial for your enterprise for testing data exchange and interoperability issues?
Ensemble has aided us to integrate our applications that allow us to save time and point-to-point methods which makes it easier to track or read messages from different platforms in one platform. SoapUI and SoapUI Pro aid us to create repeatable tests which define multiple end points that can be reused. Database viewers assist us to access end user applications by simulating the processes his applications are going through by copying them via matrix technology.
We are using SOAtest to create a repeatable tests with multiple endpoints and multiple transports.We are also able to create with this tool poin-to-point/End-To-End scenarios during integration testing. Security could be a part of already created tests (we can re-use existing tests and only execute them with security scanning option enabled.
Just wanted to add that Eclipse SQL Explorer is another option for a database viewer/query editor for DB2. I have used Toad for DB2 as well and I like it, unfortunately the freeware licensing policy for prevents us from using it, as my company won't pay for a commercial license.

What Can You Do With a Degree in Health Care Administration?
CategoriesLatest Alumni Business Careers Criminal Justice Education Fire Science Health Sciences Information Technology Legal Studies Military Nursing Online Learning Psychology Social & Behavioral Sciences Student Life
August 22, 2019 | Purdue University Global
A bachelor's degree in health care administration opens opportunities in the quickly growing field of health sciences. But what can you do with that degree?
Lisa Giarda teaches several undergraduate courses in the School of Health Sciences at Purdue University Global and oversees ethics and leadership and bachelor's capstone courses. She says job prospects abound for graduates in health care administration.*
"We have more baby boomer retirement coming within the next 5 to 10 years," Giarda says. "And people are living longer due to new technologies. As a result, opportunities in health care continue to grow."
What Is the Job Outlook for Medical and Health Services Managers?
The number of health care administration jobs is trending upward. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a 20% projected increase in medical and health services manager jobs in the U.S. between 2016 and 2026.† As of 2016, there were 352,200 medical and health service managers employed in the U.S.
Giarda says a health care administrator position is within anyone's reach. "One can begin in an entry-level position within the health care field and through education, training, and experience—along with professional development that health care organizations offer—get promoted from within."
What Do Medical and Health Services Managers Do?
The tasks of medical and health services managers vary with individual companies, but, in general, they plan, coordinate, and supervise the functions of health care facilities and the staff that work there. Typically, health care administrators:
Give advice on legal or regulatory compliance.
Analyze risks to minimize losses or damages.
Supervise employees.
Direct financial operations.
Implement organizational process or policy changes.
Prepare operational budgets.
Giarda says one path health care administration degree graduates could take is to start their own businesses. "Recently, one of my students had been working for someone else at a home health care business, and she realized she could file for licensing and then take steps to do it on her own," Giarda says. "Now, she has her own business and is hiring her own people to send out to homes."‡
What Is the Work Environment Like?
Health care administrators are not on-call like other medical professionals and usually keep regular business hours from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. People in these roles typically dress in business casual wear, depending on workplace guidelines.
Medical and health services managers work closely with members of health care teams such as doctors, nurses, clinical laboratory technicians, and other health care workers. Others may interact with patients or insurance agents. They work at various locations including insurance companies, hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health facilities, and physicians' offices.

What does environmental success mean to WCA?
Everything that we need for survival and well-being depends on our natural environment. At WCA we know it is our responsibility to maintain and manage the environmental, economic, and social dimensions that are fundamental to the concept of sustainability. Such dimensions create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to ensure a healthy environment for present and future generations. WCA is committed to maintaining and cultivating sustainable business practices, as well as ensuring environmental awareness and preservation in the markets we service.
WCA is committed to creating a company culture where employees understand and respect the value of protecting the environment. Our compliance with governmental regulations and permit requirements in the markets in which we operate demonstrates our commitment to the communities we serve. WCA strives to be a leader in the solid waste industry by continually improving our operations, policies and procedures to reflect this commitment. Environmental responsibility, efficient transportation and disposal services are the avenues WCA utilizes to service our customers and achieve this goal.
What is WCA doing to be environmentally successful?
Landfill gas-to-energy is a fundamental element of solid waste management and is an environmentally attractive solution. Landfill gas is a mix of different gases created by the decomposition of waste within a landfill, and WCA has systems in place to capture these gases and use them to generate power. With our landfill gas plants we are able to: reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve local air quality, encourage economic development and job creation, and develop a local renewable source of energy.
WCA is an industry leader when it comes to collecting recyclable material and processing various forms of materials.
WCA's Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Kansas City, Missouri is processing and diverting approximately 5,000 tons of waste from landfills each month.
WCA's compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles produce up to 30% less greenhouse gas emissions and 60% to 90% less smog-producing pollutants than petroleum-fueled vehicles. In 2014, we increased the number of CNG trucks in our fleet by 30% and had 12.5% (64 trucks) of our fleet converted to CNG by the end of 2014. In 2013, WCA built a CNG station in Gainesville, Florida to serve local operations. In 2014, WCA completed construction of another CNG fleet fueling station in Lake County, Florida and completed construction of another site in Houston, Texas.
In 2014, WCA implemented a route optimization plan to help reduce our trucks' travel distance and travel time. Less distance-traveled means less fuel burned, reduced gas emissions, and reduced wear on the truck fleet. Optimizing the routes will ultimately improve the environment by reducing the amount of CO2 that is released into the air. With our new plan in place, WCA will be able to cut down on fleet usage and report the positive impacts of the program for 2015.
In 2012, the University of Florida set a goal of "ZERO WASTE" by 2015. On Tuesday, June 11, 2014, Recycle Florida Today officially announced that The University of Florida Athletic Association and WCA's Zero-Waste program won the Environmental Sustainability Award.
We were able to achieve an ultimate diversion rate of 78% at the University of Florida football game. The contained environment of a stadium allowed for smart purchasing and even smarter waste management. From food items to food packaging, we focused on switching to either recyclable or compostable options.
In addition to purchasing decisions, operations played one of the most important roles in large-scale diversion. With a stadium capacity of over 88,000 fans, operations staff required clear direction. From set-up to next-day cleanup, we trained countless staff members and provided supervision to ensure consistent waste streams, and, finally, that color-coordinated bags reached appropriate containers.


With some 26 people from the area, the Mayor of Kennett Square, and representatives from five area law enforcement agencies, this 2+ hour event was well-received by all present. Many heard new information, from 'both sides of the table'. Several ideas for followup were discussed as participants lingered after the close of the meeting.
All are welcome to comment on this event ... particularly those of you who were present!

Alessio Riccio, a drummer and electroacoustic composer, has developed a specific free-form project for Unorthodox Recordings, which recalls the figure of the goddess Ninshubar. She is a character from Sumerian mythology and her "warrior" status has perhaps influenced the editing of this album. The experimental quality of the album is characterized by a blazingly rhythmic and dynamic approach. Riccio, a brilliant performer on his favourite instruments adds in laptop and is assisted by Monica Demuru and Catherine Jauniaux (vocals) and Hasse Poulsen, a talented guitarist. The album is visionary and dramatic, partly thanks to the insertions of the vocalists, which were also subjected to some additional treatment. As a result, there is a "bigger charge" in the way the sounds overlap. The Florence musician not only makes skilful use of all his instrumental knowledge (he is highly appreciated in certain avantgarde jazz scenes), but also impresses with his electronic manipulations; the twists and the rigorous editing process have created a vibrant score laying at the edges of several genres. Generally there is a good union between the instruments and the vocals, though the use of the double choir (sometimes in multiple languages) is very insistent and perhaps some meaning has been obscured unnecessarily. Artists can stay within genres or go looking for something else. This work pushes at several boundaries and is an engaging but tricky listening.

Q: Find mean of a group of every 10 layers in raster stack in R I have a raster stack (s1) of 2000 layers and I need to get mew stack of 20 layers from this (s2). Such that first layer in s2 is mean of first 10 layers of s1 and second s2 layer is mean of 11-20 layers of s1 and so on. I need to do this in R. I can use calc but I am confused what function would be like?

A: I have found how to do this. I am posting the answer so that it can help others.
indices<-rep(1:20,each=10)
s.mean<-stackApply(s, indices, fun = mean)

The answer is based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31798389/sum-nlayers-of-a-rasterstack-in-r

A: You need to write a function that computes the means in each group. One way is to use tapply with a vector that looks like [1,1,1,...1,1,2,2,2,...2,2,2......,20,20,20,20]. Write a function to construct that vector and test:
> groupn=function(n,m){rep(1:m,rep(n/m,m))}
> groupn(20,2)
 [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
> groupn(20,5)
 [1] 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5

So there's two vectors that break 1 to 20 into 2 or 5 groups.
For testing I've created a raster stack of 20 layers which I want to compute means for every four layers, so corresponding to the second example above. First write a function to compute means by that group:
> group5 = groupn(20,5)
> group5
 [1] 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5
> f = function(v){tapply(v,group5,mean)}

I can now test f on any vector of length 20:
> f(1:20)
   1    2    3    4    5
 2.5  6.5 10.5 14.5 18.5

which looks good - the mean of 1 to 5 is 2.5, the mean of 16 to 20 is 18.5 and so on.
Now put that in calc:
> out = calc(mystack, f)
> out
class       : RasterBrick
dimensions  : 3, 4, 12, 5  (nrow, ncol, ncell, nlayers)
resolution  : 0.25, 0.3333333  (x, y)
extent      : 0, 1, 0, 1  (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : NA
data source : in memory
names       : X1, X2, X3, X4, X5
min values  :  1,  1,  1,  1,  1
max values  : 12, 12, 12, 12, 12

I should now check that the values in my little example are correct before going on to running it on a 2000 layer example...


Spiritual gifts are often a point of controversy. Mostly because most Christians of mainline denominations don't have any experience with speaking in tongues, prophesy or anything such as these. All we know of this are the writings of Paul, and when we see folks on TV on some of the Christian TV stations having religious experiences, most of us feel uncomfortable with what we see.
If we think about it though, that is how we are with most things we don't understand. We can easily brush those things off with a "that was fine for the 1st century, but it doesn't happen now." Or we might even come up with some other explanation - such as "the only reason they were speaking in other languages is that they were from different parts of the world." But the fact is that the Holy Spirit was given to these people to empower them in their faith and to build the church.
We receive that same Holy Spirit at Baptism. It still empowers us and gives us wisdom, courage and all things necessary for the building up of our personal faith and for the building up of the whole church. We only need to stop and recognize the Holy Spirit in our midst to really appreciate all He does for us.
