As one of the largest loans an individual can sign for in his or her lifetime, taking on a home loan is a big deal. That's why it's important to fully understand your mortgage options before signing on the dotted line.
With a fixed-rate mortgage, your loan terms will include an interest rate that remains static, or fixed, for the duration of the loan. The advantage to a fixed interest rate is that you will always know the amount of your monthly payment.
For long-term home loans - think 15 to 30 years -, fixed interest rates may be the better option because they guarantee consistency over time. However, if you only plan to own your home for short time (for example, 5 years), consider interest rate trends to ensure you won't be stuck paying a higher rate if a decline in interest rates is anticipated.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) is exactly as it sounds: a mortgage with an interest rate that can fluctuate and change based on the current market and indexed rates.
A perk to an ARM is that the initial interest rate is typically lower than that of a fixed-rate, long-term home loan. But, you need to understand that that rate could change at each adjustment period, so you should plan accordingly for those incremental payment modifications over time.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are guaranteed by the federal government and offer assistance to those who do not meet the conventional loan down payment requirements. FHA loans also have more flexible qualification requirements, which make them attractive to those worried about being turned down for conventional mortgages.
It's important to note that FHA loans are those that are insured by the FHA—not provided by it. You will still need to locate an FHA-approved lender once your FHA loan application is approved. When choosing that lender, ask questions regarding additional fees or any possible changes to the FHA loan terms.
VA loans are mortgage loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA loans offer long-term financing to eligible American veterans or their surviving spouses who meet certain qualifications. The intent of VA loans is to provide home financing to eligible veterans where private financing is not generally available, and to assist veterans in purchasing properties with no down payment.
A jumbo mortgage loan has a loan amount that exceeds conventional loan parameters (loans over $417,000 and up to $2 million) and is designed to accommodate higher-value homes.
An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) is exactly as it sounds: a mortgage with an interest rate that can fluctuate and change based on the current market and indexed rates. With an ARM, you may want to negotiate for a maximum cap to the interest rate to keep it within a reasonable scale.
A perk to an ARM is that the initial interest rates are typically lower than those of a fixed-rate, long-term home loan. But, you need to understand that that rate will change after every adjustment period, and plan accordingly for those incremental payment modifications over time.

Hamilton at 34: What's left to achieve in F1?
Date published: January 10 2019
Lewis Hamilton turned 34 on Monday, but what does the master of Hammertime have left to accomplish, with five World Championships to his name?
We think quite a lot actually, even though it feels like the guy has been around forever.
He came to Formula One in 2007, joining McLaren after winning the 2006 GP2 Championship – though in unusual circumstances – claiming the final point he needed after Giorgio Pantano was stripped of the fastest lap in the Monza feature race.
2007 almost brought him a debut Formula One World Championship, but his slide into the Chinese GP's pitlane gravel trap proved disastrous and meant Hamilton's 7th place finish in Brazil allowed Kimi Raikkonen to win the title by a point.
The drama would return to South America a year later, as Felipe Massa thought he was top-dog after winning the Brazilian GP, with Hamilton not running in a crucial top-five position.
But we all remember that famous overtake on Timo Glock in the final corner, promoting Hamilton to 5th and making him the youngest ever Formula One World Champion [at the time] in the process.
I don't think we will ever forget that look of horror on the Massa clan's faces either – sorry Felipe.
Here is David Croft's (BBC Radio 5 Live at the time) commentary of the final lap at the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix.
Only as Lewis crosses the line and the TV graphic shows him in 5th does he realise the Brit won the championship…..
A *very* bad day at the office for him. #F1 pic.twitter.com/VFnrPU9mNH
— James 🇮🇪 (@JOC__1991) November 6, 2018
Skip forward to 2014 – the turbo-hybrid era strolled into the sport, and Hamilton has since claimed a further four World Championships, while winning 51 of the 100 races held.
We are all living in a Hamilton wonderland right now, but the topic of conversation for folk at the dinner table has long been how much longer he will be here?
So, let's take a look at some of the short, medium and long-term goals which may still remain.
Short-term: Beat the young guns
Well, you would have to be rather brave or stupid to argue the fact that Lewis has had every guy's number in recent years – Nico Rosberg could raise a complaint based on his 2016 exploits, but overall, nobody has come close to Hamilton's dominance.
In the short-term then, just continuing that ruthless stranglehold on the sport has to be the goal.
Sebastian Vettel has faded away from the title-fight for the past two seasons now, while the always talkative Max Verstappen continues to pop in a good performance here-and-there, while reminding Hamilton, seemingly on a daily basis, that he is coming for his throne.
Valtteri Bottas has done little to convince the powers-that-be to see him as Lewis' equal, so it all appears pretty cushy heading into 2019 right? Well, not necessarily.
See this year, two more hungry young guns in the form of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Red Bull's Pierre Gasly have their eyes set on grabbing that brass ring.
Leclerc has long been talked about as Formula One's next big thing – claiming GP3 and F2 titles back-to-back, before putting in a very impressive stint with Sauber that ultimately landed him a seat at Ferrari.
Gasly has certainly gone more under the radar, but you just cannot completely rule this young Frenchman out even if Verstappen is the chosen one at Red Bull.
His 2018 season included a P4 finish in Bahrain with Toro Rosso, while running out 13-6 winner over team-mate Brendon Hartley in the qualifying battle.
The goal in the meantime for Hamilton, then, is pretty clear: crush the young challengers and show you are still the master.
Medium-term: Schumacher in sight
Looking a few years down the line, dare we whisper it? Lewis could beat Michael Schumacher's record of seven Formula One World Championships. First thing first, though, is to try and match it.
That achievement of seven World titles had never been reached before the German, and has not since, simply for the reason that it's almost impossible.
MUST-WATCH

Key word there though – almost. Because right now Hamilton will be saying: "oh yeah, it's possible alright."
That Mercedes is showing no signs of giving up the ghost, getting stronger with each new challenger that dares to step up to it.
Smashing Schumacher's records have been a feature for Lewis anyway, with the Brit taking over as the driver with the most race wins at different circuits after victory at the 2018 French Grand Prix, to name an example.

All the while further Schumi records are on the menu for Hamilton, with the legendary German's 91 Grand Prix wins the only total currently bettering Hamilton's 73.
The holy grail of records, however, is still to be obtained.
Major rule changes are planned for 2021, but it's hard to bet against the 2019 and 2020 titles making themselves at home in the Hamilton household, so a bit of quick math shows that Hamilton and Schumi would be tied at seven apiece.
Surely then, Lewis would not be able to walk away without giving it a shot at becoming the one and only eight-time World Champion.
Long-term: The exit plan
Now, we have to think what will be Lewis' legacy? How is he going to finish his career and where will it be?
Judging by the current rumblings, two likely scenarios seem to be on the table.
The first of these is that he rides off into the sunset with the Mercedes team showering him in rose petals and singing his name as he vanishes into the sunset. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but you get the point.
Lewis could easily walk away while still at the top, leaving fans, colleagues and enemies alike with no knowledge of what kind of driver he would have been past his prime.
He has hinted at this possibility before, with his love for fashion and music growing ever stronger, so it's safe to say the pay cheques would not vanish from his life if Formula One was no longer a part of it.

Continuing the live the high life in Monaco, Hamilton has consistently said as the Formula 1 calendar grows that he will walk away from the sport when it starts impacting upon on his enjoyment.
The Vietnam Grand Prix is set to feature on the schedule from 2020, with a race in Miami also strongly rumoured to be on its way. Hamilton's concerns seem to be falling on deaf ears.

Would these additions finally be enough for him to say thank you, and goodnight?
Or let's flip the page, perhaps he jumps ship for one final challenge?
Ferrari have said to be in his ear for several years now, picture it as that age old scene where the individual has the angel on one shoulder telling him one thing while on the other is the devil painting a different picture.
There are no angels or devils here, we hope, but it is a good analogy for the situation.
The Scuderia would likely pay big bucks to land the five-time champ, especially if the title drought becomes even more deep rooted.
As the saying goes, in Ferrari's case: if you can't beat them, join them
Sebastian Vettel showed great sportsmanship by congratulating Mercedes straight after losing the title battle to Lewis Hamilton 👏👏
However, it's the second year in a row Ferrari have had a car fast enough to win it, says @karunchandhok 🇲🇽

— Channel 4 F1® (@C4F1) October 31, 2018
Imagine that, Lewis winning an eighth World Championship, after jumping ship to the red team, surpassing Schumacher's total.
Formula One still has lingering traces of unpredictability, and that's why we all love it. Who could also bet against Hamilton taking a similar path to Kimi and dropping down the grid, perhaps back to McLaren, purely for the thrill of racing?
Who knows what this bloke from Stevenage will decide to do but by God are we happy to be along for the ride.

My name is Barbara. I have lived with multiple sclerosis for over 40 years and have type 1 diabetes. When I joined inhometrainer I was anxious because I didn't know whether I could do "the program".
I learned very quickly that "the program" was about me and my abilities!
BUT they do not stop there! They try different exercises to get certain muscles to fire and if those don't work, they say " leave it with me" and next visit they have new approaches for me to try.
Because our objectives are to keep me walking and reduce falls, it is important to exercise more than the times they are with me. Each has given me exercises to do daily to keep working toward achieving our objectives.
These trainers are awesome and I wholeheartedly recommend inhometrainer!
My husband and I cannot say enough about the program!
The hardest part was getting started. Once we made the decision to get back into shape, inhometrainer helped us achieve our goal weight. We could not have done it alone, and going to a gym was inconvenient and intimidating.
Without the help of our amazing trainers, we could not have achieved our goals. My husband lost 30 pounds, and I've lost 14 pounds. We feel so good and we have continued the program on our own because we know what to do.
inhometrainer showed us how to lose weight and keep it off. No gimmicks, no pills, no equipment! Just proper circuits, exercise, and good nutrition tips.
I have recommended inhometrainer to all of our family and friends who have commented on our weight loss.
Thanks again inhometrainer you transformed our lives!
*Please note results may vary.
Over the course of 3 months Karen lost 15 Lbs and shed 5% body fat. Impressive stats, for one of our hardest working clients.
We have been exercising since January 2013 and as a result we have noticed that we are getting fitter and healthier. We love the convenience of having a trainer come to our house at times that are suitable to us. Serge has been great in building up our confidence and skill in such a way that is benefiting to us.
Due to regular and consistent exercise from the past eight months, my (Babita's) good Cholesterol has gone up which has never happened. My doctor has taken me off the Cholesterol pills.
We have also noticed health benefits such as losing fat and gaining muscle. Our trainer also suggested ideas to improve our diet so we can get healthier. We feel mentally and physically strong. Thanks inhometrainer!
During my time with a inhometrainer, I've noticed amazing results, not only physical, but I've also developed a new outlook on life. My trainer has helped me understand that through hard work, and perseverance anything is possible.
Working with a personal trainer has changed my life; I have more energy, and most of all I've become happier and even in stressful situations, I can handle stress better.
inhometrainer, not only focused on physical trainning, but guided and advised me regarding proper nutrition and healthy eating.
I noticed that my whole family has benefitted from the simple minor changes I have made to our selection of foods.I thank inhometrainer for bringing this positive change in my life. I wish them good luck and hope more and more people give them a try and see the difference for themselves.
Everyone should have an inhometrainer. My husband and I were in very poor physical health when our personal trainer came into our lives. We were just recovering from some illnesses and could have won the award for couch potatoes of the year. We were quickly and scientifically assessed on our level of fitness and provided a program that was non-threatening and fun. He utilized all of our equipment which was sitting unused in our home and took us step by step over the course of a year to become physically fit.
Having a healthy and new body was very exciting for seniors in their 60's and 70's. We have actually aged younger!
inhometrainer provided us with an excellent personal trainer and an easy to use illustrated program that we can follow at home in our own daily schedule. We have achieved a level of physical fitness that we never thought was possible. Being healthy and active has enabled the both of us to have an exciting and fun life following our life passions. Thank you inhometrainer!
My name is Dr. Neil K and I am an emergency physician working in one of Canada's busiest emergency departments. Over the past decade, the stress of the job combined with the rigours of shift work and poor eating habits have led to a steady unwanted weight gain. It is well documented in that shift workers are at a higher risk for numerous serious health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Despite the knowledge, and witnessing countless heart attacks and strokes, it has been hard to break years of bad habits. Past attempts at diets and workout programs have always failed to keep off the weight.
Fortunately I have now been under the expert guidance of the inhometrainer. As a result, I am in the best shape of my life.
More importantly I have kept the weight off and I feel stronger than ever!!! I highly recommend inhometrainer, especially for all the shift workers out there.
Two years ago, I was feeling lethargic, was not sleeping well, and had no energy. I was 205 pounds, size 38 waste and 44 jacket. I felt "bloated" and missed meals all day, and gorged at night. I spent far too much time in front of the computer! I felt compelled to doing a workout and usually did some cardio and weights but was getting no results. In fact, I was gaining fat! Then when I realized my blood pressure was starting to creep up, I knew it was time to get my life into check.My trainer counselled me on nutrition and gave me one heck of a work out program, that was changed frequently to "shock" my system.
Well, the pictures tell a thousand words! I am now down to approximately 12% body fat, lost 55 pounds and am now at my ideal weight of 150 pounds, and I am more carved than ever in my entire life.
I think better! I feel more energized too! I am now skiing, snowshoeing, and cycling…and having a riot doing it! I have a more positive attitude on life! I also feel and my friends tell me I look 20 years younger! It's amazing what my personal trainer has done for me! Without the help, guidance and motivation of my personal trainer, I would not be where I am today! Thanks inhometrainer! You saved my life!
I cannot say enough amazing and wonderful things about my trainer Aman and inhometrainer. She is dedicated, and professional. She works wonders to accommodate my schedule. She understands my abilities and always gears my workouts to those abilities while at the same time, challenging me.
She is always safe and reminds me about drinking water during our workouts and breaking when I need to. She is FUN and the music she uses motivates me and the diversity of her workouts have been fantastic. I never get bored and the level of challenge has increased as we've been working together. I am seeing great results in my body…both from a weight loss perspective as well as my strength, endurance, and confidence.
I would rate the service from inhometrainer as well above a 10!!!
I am very impressed with everything so far with this company. I know this is a lifestyle for me and I am so happy that inhometrainer has been there for the journey. I have recommended inhometrainer to EVERYONE I KNOW! I am always talking about how awesome it is. Thank you!
As my personal trainer, I feel that Manuela has not just transformed my body, but also transformed how I feel about my body. She clearly knows the technical aspects of her field such as specific exercises for which muscles, nutrition, stretching, core strength, balance, flexibility, repetition, toning, bulking, etc. What clearly sets her apart from other personal trainers for me is that she is also excellent at managing my emotions about health and exercise.
For the first time in my life, I actually enjoy exercise and I look forward to seeing the results.
I look forward to my sessions with inhometrainer because she is a warm, funny, and kind person who pushes me very hard while somehow convincing me that I'm having a great time! I have increased my fitness, stamina, and balance while losing several inches around my hips & while gaining muscles. I'm excited to see how my body and my mental approach continue to evolve.
"When I first looked into personal training at my home, I obviously consulted the most common resource nowadays – Google. I came across inhometrainer.ca and was unsure about the company and whether this would be the best in-home training company in terms of price, reputability, etc.. Sure enough, I saw that this wonderful owner, Mike was running it and found out quickly how well organized the company really is and that the company actually has an illustrious history throughout Ontario and some other parts of Canada as well and specializes in personal training at home for all ages. After then telling my goals to Mike, he then linked me to an appropriate trainer based on my goals, etc, and really was extremely friendly through conversations and willing to try and help me out, explained everything to me as I was new to personal training and all the terminology. Ultimately, he linked me up with my current trainer Tiago and he's absolutely amazing and love the program he's created for me .
Dependable, friendly, reliable, helpful, funny, and really trying to impart his expertise to me and explain everything to me so I can achieve my goals at the utmost level. My trainer ensures that I am attaining my goals and does frequent assessments to see where I am at and what needs to change or what needs to continue. If it wasn't for inhometrainer's great team, I would have probably missed out on such a great opportunity I am currently involved in.
Our in home personal trainer programs are tailored to each and every individual. All of our clients receive a personalized program, nutritional guidance and accountability. Any age and fitness level are welcome.

Just an hour ago my first [independent] Android app got released on the Google Play Store. You can find it here on the play store.
It's been a bit since I used the Android SDK/API. I remember it being less clumsy and while using it I had that constant feeling of it being clumsy especially compared to times I've worked with iOS, WPF, Swing or Winforms. Don't have any direct comparison off the top of my head but I'm thinking about making a separate blog post about it later (that will hopefully be a bit more intelligent than this blurb!).

Exclusive The number of GPs supporting the idea of a fully salaried service has almost doubled in two years, while half of GPs believe partnerships won't exist in ten years' time, a Pulse survey has found.
The survey of 633 GPs found that 26% are in favour of a fully salaried service – compared with 14% two years ago.
Just over half - 54% - said they were against a fully salaried service, but this represented a large decrease from the 76% in 2013.
In May, the LMCs Conference voted against a motion calling for the GPC to explore 'the establishment of a fully costed and salaried GP service'.
But more GPs have cited problems with recruiting other GPs, increasing workload and stress as reasons for moving to a salaried service.
At the same time, 50% of GPs questioned did not think the partnership model of general practice will exist in 10 years – more than double the 23% who thought it would survive.
Dr Agnelo Fernandes, a GP partner in south London, said: '[The] partnership model offers greater value to patients and taxpayer but [you] need the right partners who have ability to take responsibility, sense of vocation, and ability and willingness to run a business.
However, most GPs remain supportive of the partnership model.
As part of its Five Year Forward View, NHS England has made plans for new integrated care organisations that will provide both primary and secondary care – some of which will see hospitals employing GPs.
In her final address as chair of the RCGP in 2013, Professor Clare Gerada caused controversy when she called for all GPs to become salaried, leading to her successor Dr Maureen Baker distancing the college from her comments.
Would you support a fully salaried service?
Do you think the partnership model of general practice will exist in ten years' time?
A salaried workforce brings with it the same problems as secondary care - beaurucracy, loss of independence and lack of innovation.
Make no mistake, partnerships work, but its the terms and conditions of the subcontracting process that is the problem.
Is it support or going with the flow of current health policy,individuals fighting against the tide,eventually you give up swimming and go with the flow or drown.Destruction of the partnership model and the introduction of corporates/salaried model will destroy continuity and the fabric of the NHS permanently and in my view not for the better.
I understand Dr Gerada is already a salaried GP.
Be careful what you wish. A salaried service will not be 0800 – 1830 Mon-Fri. It will be 7 days a week on a rota basis with on call, evenings and nights built in just like our hospital colleagues. Remember a Saturday is no longer different from a working week day. The pay scale on NHS employers for Salaried doctors is £55,412 with a maximum of £83,617.
Where is this support coming from, retired GP's ?
Not doing it for less than £150 000.
As a locum I earn £170 000 a year without breaking a sweat. Wake up everyone, we are worth a lot mre than peanuts.
Or in other words - we wish it would survive, but we know it won't and we haven't taken the time to figure out the alternative.
Of course HM Government wouldn't be able to create any contractual problems for a salaried service if it existed? Or would it?

Home Editor's Pick 11,464 indian citizens repatriated from Malaysia between May and August
11,464 indian citizens repatriated from Malaysia between May and August
NEW DELHI, Sept. 18 — India evacuated 11,464 of its citizens from Malaysia between May and August under a travel scheme launched to help those in distress during the coronavirus pandemic.
They were among the hundreds of thousands of Indians evacuated from abroad on flights operated by Indian carriers and chartered services of both Indian and foreign airlines.
A total of 5,817 flights to India were operated to repatriate Indian nationals until the end of August under the Vande Bharat mission launched in May, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri told parliament.
The returnees are mostly non-resident Indians (NRIs) and a large number of them came back from Gulf Arab countries, the United States and Europe due to economic disruptions caused by the pandemic.
According to flight details tweeted by the minister, about 1,300 more Indian nationals have returned from Malaysia in September.

There have been over three-and-a-half seasons of Boardwalk Empire and, for the most part, Michael K. Williams' Chalky White has had little more than an ancillary role in the larger storylines of each season. But now, with the addition of Jeffrey Wright's Dr. Narcisse and his perfect elocution, all that has begun to change. Chalky is now at the center of his own story, which not only sees the series utilizing characters in a manner it hasn't before, but it is also depicting a portion of the show's population that has only been looked at in a mostly tangential manner, as well.
One of the more significant takeaways from a character standpoint is how Chalky reacts to certain realizations, and how different his approach to that information is than, say, someone like Nucky. Whereas Nucky is frequently heard telling people – like Arnold Rothstein and Joe Masseria – how happy he is with what he has, how uninterested he is in expanding his territory and how he just wants to avoid another Gyp Rosetti situation, Chalky tends to make his voice heard much more through some sort of defining and unambiguous action.
Back in season 2, Chalky was sequestered in his home after defending his warehouse against a brutal attack by a group of Klansmen. That proactive Chalky wasn't really seen again until his good buddy Nucky came calling for help when New York declared war on Atlantic City.As per usual, Chalky arrived with a helping hand, but after the dust settled, the hand was still there, expecting to be paid in full.
That depiction of the Chalky as someone prone to resolving his conflicts through direct action continues to be highlighted throughout 'The Old Ship of Zion.' Rather than attempt a negotiation with Narcisse, after discovering the heroin den he'd been running with Dunn Purnsley's help, Chalky not only confronts Narcisse directly, but he also does it in full view of the people for whom the good doctor was supposed to be seen as a moral and intellectual authority.
To an extent, it fees as though Chalky and Narcisse are filling a character gap that has always existed in the world of Boardwalk Empire, which makes the sudden and additional focus on them feel like the show is actually doing more diverse character work this season. In a way, the same can be said for Agent Knox/ Tolliver – though it generally feels like he is filling in for the absent Agent Van Alden, who is now living in Cicero under the guise Mueller. While Brian Geraghty lacks the full-blown intensity mixed with humor that Michael Shannon brought to his tightly wound lawman, Knox seems to make up for it in sheer tenacity. It's hard to say that Knox is much of a replacement for Van Alden, but he definitely fills the show's need for a representative from the other side of the law to keep all these would-be lawbreakers feeling the pressure reprisal.
This is probably the most significant amount of action and storyline Boardwalk Empire has granted to Chalky and his part in the grand scheme of things. And when you look at the emotional roller coaster that takes Chalky from tearful remembrance of his family members' funerals to being attacked and nearly killed by Dunn, it's clear Chalky and, obviously, Micheal K. Williams is more than up to the task of delivering the kind of content Boardwalk Empire specializes in.
The only question now is: after waiting for so long, when will we get more of this newly captivating and more richly layered Chalky White?

Hi, I am trying to detect when a featurelayer in ArcMap, or every featurelayer, have finished drawing. The idea is to wait until initial drawing is done before starting a lengthy update process on the database. If the update starts too early, the prosess somtimes freezes.
I can use a timer to check the drawing status of the layer(s), but somehow I dont find any relevant docs or examples on what to look for.
This is for a custom extension developed with C# under ArcMap 10 desktop.
Item in your case is FeatureLayer. Please read carefully all description. It could be time expensive operation and needs additional settings for arcobjects environment.
FYI, I found one way of doing it.
Using a timer to periodically test the value works, but in some startup situations the value is not initiated correctly. With that fixed, it works as wanted.
Have you tried IActiveViewEvents.AfterItemDraw Event ?
Hi Gintautas, no I have not.
I found it in the API description. But according to the documentation, as I read it, it cannot be used on an FeatureLayerClass instance. Am I wrong? If you have any examples related to FeatureLayer, I would be grateful !

Subtitle A - Office of the Secretary of Labor
PART 4 - LABOR STANDARDS FOR FEDERAL SERVICE CONTRACTS
Subpart C - Application of the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act
Changes in Contract Coverage
§ 4.145 Extended term contracts.
29 CFR § 4.145 - Extended term contracts.
(a) Sometimes service contracts are entered into for an extended term exceeding one year; however, their continuation in effect is subject to the appropriation by Congress of funds for each new fiscal year. In such event, for purposes of this Act, a contract shall be deemed entered into upon the contract anniversary date which occurs in each new fiscal year during which the terms of the original contract are made effective by an appropriation for that purpose. In other cases a service contract, entered into for a specified term by a Government agency, may contain a provision such as an option clause under which the agency may unilaterally extend the contract for a period of the same length or other stipulated period. Since the exercise of the option results in the rendition of services for a new or different period not included in the term for which the contractor is obligated to furnish services or for which the Government is obligated to pay under the original contract in the absence of such action to extend it, the contract for the additional period is a wholly new contract with respect to application of the Act's provisions and the regulations thereunder (see § 4.143(b)).
(b) With respect to multi-year service contracts which are not subject to annual appropriations (for example, concession contracts which are funded through the concessionaire's sales, certain operations and maintenance contracts which are funded with so-called "no year money" or contracts awarded by instrumentalities of the United States, such as the Federal Reserve Banks, which do not receive appropriated funds), section 4(d) of the Act allows such contracts to be awarded for a period of up to five years on the condition that the multi-year contracts will be amended no less often than once every two years to incorporate any new Service Contract Act wage determination which may be applicable. Accordingly, unless the contracting agency is notified to the contrary (see § 4.4(d)), such contracts are treated as wholly new contracts for purposes of the application of the Act's provisions and regulations thereunder at the end of the second year and again at the end of the fourth year, etc. The two-year period is considered to begin on the date that the contractor commences performance on the contract (i.e., anniversary date) rather than on the date of contract award.


For some, winter is the best season in the Lake George Region for outdoor activities. While it's tempting to spend a lot of time outside, the cold winter weather is potentially dangerous for anyone who isn't fully prepared for the low temperatures.
Frostbite and hypothermia are two of the most common medical problems caused by exposure to the cold. If you want to avoid both this winter, then you should follow the proper preventive measures as well as know the signs of them.
Dress in loose, light, and comfortable layers. You should have a moisture-wicking material for the first layer, an insulating material for the second, and then a waterproof or windproof layer on top.
Protect your feet by wearing wool socks and winter boots. Wear a pair of moisture-wicking socks for extra protection.
Wear insulated gloves or mittens to protect your hands.
Stay hydrated. Dehydration increases the risk of both, so alcohol should also be avoided if you plan on being outside for a period of time.
Even if you dress warmly for the winter weather, frostbite and hypothermia are still a possibility if the temperature is too cold or if you are outside too long. As such, you should know the signs of both and be prepared for the proper treatment.
Frostbite is the most common freezing injury, which is damage to the skin and underlying tissues caused by exposure to extreme cold. It is more likely to occur on fingers, toes, the nose, ears, cheeks, and the chin. If you notice frostbite early and take action, there will be less of a chance of permanent damage.
Frostnip - Frostnip is the first and most mild stage of frostbite. In this stage, your skin will turn a pale red and feel cold. Further exposure to the cold will create a prickling and numbness in the area with frostnip. Frostnip typically won't damage the skin permanently.
Superficial Frostbite - This is the second stage of frostbite, and during it, your skin will turn white or pale. While your skin will remain soft, it may soon feel warm. If you treat superficial frostbite by rewarming the skin, it may start to look blue or purple and sting. This may cause a blister to form.
Severe Frostbite - Also called deep frostbite, severe frostbite is the most dangerous form. This type affects all layers of the skin, and you may feel numbness, lose all feeling in the affected area, and your muscles and joints may feel weak. After rewarming, large blisters will form one to two days later, and then the area will turn hard and black.
If you suspect you have frostnip or mild frostbite, it's recommended to rewarm the affected area. However, if you believe you have superficial frostbite or severe frostbite, it's recommended to see a doctor or go to an emergency room to minimize tissue damage during the rewarming process and receive pain medicine. If you can't go to either immediately, then you should start to rewarm the frostbitten area, although it will be painful.
Get out of the cold and head to the nearest warm shelter. Remove wet clothes, tight jewelry, and check for hypothermia (see signs of hypothermia below).
If you can get medical help fast, loosely wrap the frostbitten area in sterile dressings. If not, then use rewarming first aid.
Rewarming involves soaking the affected area in warm water (not hot) for 20 to 30 minutes. Use a warm cloth for ears, nose, and cheeks. The recommended water temperature is between 104 degrees F to 108 degrees F. Maintain the rewarming process, and wet the cloth again if you have to. Although burning and color changes to the skin may occur, rewarming will help make the skin feel soft again.
Apply dry and sterile dressings on the frostbitten skin. Avoid moving the affected area and keep it warm to prevent refreezing.
A warm drink can help you recover from frostbite and replace lost fluids.
If you experience signs of superficial or severe frostbite, have increased pain, a fever, or other symptoms, then you should seek medical attention as soon as you can.
Like frostbite, hypothermia is a cold-related medical problem. However, hypothermia is caused when your body temperature reaches very low levels, below 95 degrees F, as a result of exposure to the cold. Some common causes include being outside in winter without enough warm clothing on, falling into a cold body of water, wearing wet clothing, and not eating or drinking enough in cold weather.
In addition, you are more likely to get hypothermia if you are very old or young, chronically ill, malnourished, fatigued, taking prescription medicines, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Similar to the treatment for frostbite, the first step is to get the person out of the cold and remove any wet clothing.
Add warm layers (extra clothing, blankets, etc.). Start with the core (abdomen) and then move to the extremities (hands and feet). You don't want to cause rapid warming and shock.
The person with hypothermia should remain in a horizontal position.
If the hypothermia is serious and the person falls unconscious, then CPR may be necessary.


The Visionary Group partnered with Jim Henson's Creature Shop to create a custom Deadpool animatronic to lead a band of the authentic ShowBiz Pizza animatronics (known as the Rock-afire Explosion) in a wacky concert performance featuring memorable songs from Deadpool 2. When not rocking out to the band, booth attendees were treated to exclusive t-shirt giveaways, and they had opportunities to pre-order DP2 on digital/blu-ray.
The Visionary Group worked alongside their in-house fabrication shop White Walls Fabrication to create a custom prize display case, custom POS bar station featuring storage for Deadpool 2 pre-orders, and a custom push-thru stage banner.
TVG handled creative/concept ideation, renderings, stage design, sourcing & collaborating with animatronics vendors, custom fabrication, graphics, signage & illustrations, and on-site management of booth including brand ambassadors, queue lines, pre-orders, and prize giveaways.
Deadpool's Super Duper Dance Party was very well received by the team at Fox, including Ryan Reynolds himself who thanked us for making his animatronic dreams come true. The activation received praise from SDCC booth attendees, as well as the San Diego Comic-Con floor managers and staff who voted the Dance Party as their favorite booth of 2018. Additionally, the booth received overwhelmingly positive coverage from event and entertainment publications, including The LA Times that highlighted it as one of the best booths from the exhibition hall floor.

When I remove the Canves and other elements inside it and build, It successfully built. But when I try to use the HoverButton the error is appearing again and the project is not getting build.

I have seen it's kinda bug in the VS and I tried following:

*

*Restarting VS

*Change the Targeting Build Platform

And it doesn't work.
Please help me to find a solution.

A: From your code it is seen that you're trying to access the Hoverbutton from a certain library.
It is not possible to access a library without adding a reference to it.Right Click on References under the solution explorer and select Add reference. Now browse to the required library or select it if it is in GAC. It will solve your issue.

As if running the London marathon isn't enough, nurse Jacqueline Godfrey is also running in the Paris marathon in the same week.
Jacqueline, who is 29, is a new member of staff at the Princess Alice Hospice, so she has decided to run to raise funds for the hospice. A member of the 26.2 Road Runners Club she has been in serious training for quite some time.
Recently she has been carrying out some extra early-morning pre work runs and a number of colleagues have taken to cheering Jacqueline on her return to the hospice each day.
She said: "I have completed a couple of marathons before, including one in Tokyo. I love the challenge that they present to a runner. This year I wanted to do something even bigger and better and that was when I decided to do two marathons within the same week."

Heroin Addiction Treatment - Detox - ADD, ADHD, Manic Depression.
Heroin addiction and dependence on other narcotics, or substances such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, cocaine and prescribed medications, are almost never primary conditions. They are nearly always secondary conditions, the result of Pre-existing, Underlying, physical, chemical, mental or social problems.
To talk about alcoholism or heroin addiction and the treatment of alcoholism or heroin addiction, without discussing the Pre-existing Underlying Factors that lead to the abuse of these substances, is very common and totally counterproductive. Success in detoxification is much less likely, and relapse back to substance abuse is much more likely, if the Underlying Factors are not discovered and successfully treated. Substance abuse is like any other health problem - its treatment must be determined by the diagnosis. "Heroin Addiction" is not a complete diagnosis. The Pre-existing Underlying Factors/ Conditions are the main diagnosis. They must be discovered so that they can then be treated appropriately. To be effective, the diagnosis of the Underlying Factors and their treatment, must commence at the same time as the assessment and treatment of the addiction.
1. ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is very common.
2. Unresolved Traumas and Stresses are very common. e.g. verbal, physical or sexual abuse in childhood, deaths in the family, family breakdowns, horrendous motor vehicle accidents, immigration, moving house and school too often, war experiences, serious illness etc.
3. Depression is very common. Manic Depressive (Bipolar) Disorder.
5. Insomnia and other Sleep Disorders.
6. Chronic Pain Including Headache, Painful Diseases (e.g. Pancreatitis), Motor Vehicle, Industrial and Sporting Accident Induced Pain.
8. Being often in a Drug Environment in which there is exposure to people using drugs, easy availability of drugs, exposure to drug pushers, peer pressure or an addicted partner.
9. Lack of Purpose in life, boredom.
10. An Unstructured Life, lack of boundaries, responsibilities or work.
11. Social Slackness or weakness in the individual, the family or the environment he grew up in. Self-indulgent people who will try anything or do anything that might gratify them, regardless of possible consequences. This is an uncommon cause of addiction, even though it is often thought to be the main cause.
12. Serious Sexual Problems, including Sexual Identity Conflict and the fear of "coming out".
ADD is the main cause of someone's addiction, but the ADD is not discovered and treated, the health care professionals involved might almost as well not start to treat the addiction. The addiction will keep recurring again and again. If the addiction is to heroin, overdosing will be a danger during these repeated treatments. Each time the addict gets off the heroin, which has been controlling the ADD suffering, that suffering will flare up again, causing the addict to again seek relief through cannabis, street amphetamines and then heroin.
It is a chemical disorder of the brain. We have approximately 140 different chemicals in our brain and it is believed that ADD is caused by inheriting faulty genes, which result in faulty regulation of the supply of four of the most important brain chemicals. They are Dopamine, Adrenalin, Noradrenaline and Serotonin.
These abnormalities give rise to a vicious cycle of poor functioning, discomfort and distress and the use of drugs to try to boost performance and relieve distress. Those drugs usually cause more problems than they solve, thus putting the ADD sufferer into ever increasing distress and trouble.
Although the different aspects of ADD vary in degree from person to person, the common pattern is as follows.
There is poor attention, focusing or concentration. This leads to learning difficulties and a poor education.
There is a disturbance of activity, usually overactivity and hurrying (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or Attention Deficit Hurry Disorder, or ADHD); but sometimes resulting in underactivity, boredom, daydreaming, slowness, dawdling and lack of motivation, with difficulty in getting started and a tendency to procrastinate (Attention Deficit Daydreaming Disorder or ADDD). This activity disorder may result in problems in the classroom. The child cannot stop talking, fidgeting or moving around, distracting his classmates, aggravating his teachers and perhaps becoming the class clown; or he/she may sit quietly in the corner of the class daydreaming, be neglected and fall behind. The family may be driven mad, and relationships be strained or damaged, because of the hyperactivity and impatience, or because of failure to achieve and to contribute. Employment is very difficult, with poor performance, friction with employers and workmates and frequent dismissals, resignations and periods of unemployment.
There may be a strong tendency to impulsivity, with knee jerk reactions and snap decisions, some of which are too quick to be the best.
There may be a strong tendency to impulsivity, with knee jerk reactions and snap decisions the norm, often resulting in mistakes, regrets & overuse of credit cards or even shoplifting.
There are often problems with time. ADD people are often very impatient and 5 minutes may seem or be an impossible length of time for them to wait. On the other hand they may get so involved in things that they don't notice the hours going by, miss meals, neglect other duties and forget appointments. Appointments are very hard for ADD sufferers to make and to keep. They often can't come to grips with making an appointment with a psychiatrist who has a six week waiting list. They often have difficulty with things that require planning ahead.
The net result of all this is that education and performance is poor, relationships are strained, there may be difficulty in getting or keeping a job and certainly in developing a satisfactory career, and the suffering and distress involved may mean that the person seeks relief in various types of social, prescribed or illegal drugs. This tendency to substance abuse is so common that ADD sufferers are sometimes said to have an "addictive brain". Research recently showed that treatment of primary school ADD children with Dexamphetamine or Ritalin, reduces their chances of substance abuse in adolescence by 85%.
It is our finding, confirmed by independent psychiatric assessment in most cases, that at least 60% of the heroin addicts I see in my clinic are ADD sufferers, mostly ADHD sufferers, but also a significant number of ADD sufferers.
1. Reducing the chemical abnormalities by the use of Dexamphetamine or Ritalin, which have a normalising effect rather than a stimulating effect on ADD sufferers. Dexamphetamine and Ritalin are difficult to obtain because both the public and the authorities have tended to lump them together with other dangerous black market amphetamines such as Speed and Methamphetamine and to overlook the fact that ADD sufferers have unusual chemistry. One man's poison is literally another man's medicine with ADD. In most developed countries the baby has been thrown out with the bath water. Much damage is being done to innocent people by regulations which were introduced to protect the population against addiction, but which are based on faulty generalisations that cause a very vulnerable section of the population, who don't have the resources or the capabilities to get proper medical attention and pharmaceuticals, to use dangerous and unsatisfactory alternatives from drug dealers.
2. E.E.G. Biofeedback if available and affordable.
3. Any other concurrent substance abuse must be effectively diagnosed and treated.
4. Any other disturbances such as depression, anxiety, social phobia or relationship or family breakdowns, that coexist with or have been brought on by the ADD, must be dealt with.
5. Assessments should be done to define the gaps in the sufferer's education, caused by their inattention and inability to focus/concentrate and their behaviour problems and strained classroom relationships, during their school years. Supplementary education should be used to fill in the gaps and complete their education.
6. Training will be needed to make use of their new ability to focus/concentrate, read and study and their normalized energy/activity, in preparing for employment and a career.
7. If legal Dexamphetamine or Ritalin is not available (which is the scandalous situation that exists in Perth for any adult who cannot afford to consult a private psychiatrist) then Epilim (Sodium Valproate), serotonin boosters and tricyclics will usually have some beneficial effect. The alternative is black market Dexamphetamine or Ritalin, taken in the morning by mouth, regularly and in small amounts. Black market Dexamphetamine or Ritalin is a far safer and better choice than intravenous street amphetamines, heroin or cocaine, if a sufferer has to make do with self medication for a period.
In Western Australia the only free public clinic that diagnoses and treats ADD is the children's hospital. Family doctors, even if they are experts in drug and alcohol medicine, cannot prescribe stimulant therapy. This means that penniless addicts have to go without proper treatment and usually self medicate dangerously, using cannabis, intravenous street amphetamines, heroin, morphine, or cocaine, at a cost that causes poverty and crime and brings the risks of Hepatitis B and C and HIV.
Because of some of the genes many of us carry, a proportion of our babies are born with genes that inevitably lead to unusual chemistry, which almost inevitably leads to conditions (ADD, depression, anxiety etc.) that in turn almost inevitably lead to distress, poor performance, social problems, substance abuse and dependence and great social cost. Fortunately today we have the capability to correctly diagnose & treat those conditions, although unfortunately it often doesn't happen.
Until the healthcare professionals, the public generally and the authorities in this field, understand and act on ADD, this whole sequence will continue to occur and drug addiction, the drug world and the drug lords will grow and prosper.
We must provide reasonable availability of chemicals that relieve these chemically unusual and afflicted people of their distress and disability, without giving rise to the side effects and dangers of the drugs and methods pushed by the criminal world.
We already have the chemicals we need - buprenorphine, valproate, serotonin boosters, naltrexone, dexamphetamine, ritalin, and occasionally lithium, but so far we lack the wisdom and systems to make them reasonably available. Available in ways that are accessible even to people who suffer from the disabilities, dysfunctions and lack of resources of ADD sufferers.
Despite anything anyone may tell you, none of these types of medicine is any more dangerous than dozens of other chemicals your family doctor writes prescriptions for every week. If they were reasonably available, in a way that was accessible to people with the disabilities and dysfunctions ADD sufferers have, there would be very little street trade in any of them. The criminal market for speed, methamphetamine, ecstasy, heroin, morphine, cocaine and cannabis would contract sharply. The pushers and the Mr. Bigs would have to find something else to do. The Criminal Justice, Education and Public Hospital systems would have the pressure taken off them. We would be able to get on with building up the people we are presently causing untold misery and chopping to pieces.

Q: Avoid implementation defined types in platform independent code I just started working on a big project which is supposed to be platform independent, but it actually uses types which are implementation defined such as char.
This had already caused some problems, since for some devices char is by default signed while for others unsigned.
I would like to find a solution in order to avoid the use of implementation defined types in code that must be platform independent.

*

*What would be the best solution? Re-defining all the char variables as unsigned char (or signed char), using compiler parameters (ex: -funsigned-char), typedefs, or others?

*Are there other types for which the standard does not define if they are either signed or unsigned?

A: In theory, the answer is very simple:
Always use types for the purpose they are intended for. E.g. you want implementation-defined types for something like the size of an array because on different platforms, the upper bound of such a size will be different. Similar for pointers. For the need of fixed-size types, C already provides appropriate typedefs in stdint.h.
Here's an incomplete "what-to-use" list:

*

*Use (unsigned) int for any integer that doesn't need to have a fixed size and will never exceed the range of 16 bits

*Use char for characters, int and casts to unsigned char when dealing with library functions that store characters in an int.

*Use size_t for anything related to the size of objects, e.g. array indices

*Use uintptr_t whenever you need to store the value of a pointer in an integer

*Use intX_t/uintX_t (with X being the number of bits) for any integer where you need a fixed number of bits that shouldn't change depending on the target platform.

*If it doesn't matter whether the size of the type is actually larger, use int_leastX_t/uint_leastX_t instead. An implementation that can't address an octet wouldn't provide e.g. uint8_t, but it would provide uint_least8_t with more bits.

A: the classic way to do it is to use your own typedefed types and have your make/autoconf etc detect the platform characteristics and set up the typdefs for you.

A: There are two schools of thought on this:

*

*Never use the "plain" types like int and char, since you can never know how big they are.  Always use fixed-size types, such as the ones defined in <stdint.h>.

*Use the "plain" types like int and char whenever you can, since they should always match the native types on your machine.  Understand what's guaranteed and not guaranteed about them, so that you can choose the appropriate one -- that is, sometimes you'll want long int, or unsigned int, or size_t, or something else.  On those (hopefully rare) occasions when you absolutely need an exact-sized type, use the ones defined in <stdint.h>.

It turns out this is an age-old question, which has been argued forever, with no one agreed-upon answer.


I've always been a bit puzzled by authors who prefer to write in the middle of a busy cafe, or some such nonsense. Not me. I need alone time, and lots of it.
Which is kind of funny when you consider that my life offers very little in the way of solitude. The best I can do is get up early, though I really don't like to do that either. Nevertheless, at least during the school year, I can wedge in an hour in the a.m., but at sixty minutes, I'm only getting started.
Lately, however, it doesn't seem to matter when or where I try to write. There have been so many serious and real-life thoughts occupying my mind that there's not much room for creativity.
I did have an interesting insight today, though. Sometimes I can find solitude at unexpected times–say, when I'm grilling chicken for dinner. And when it's difficult to still my mind for some focused writing, maybe I just need to do something else for a little while instead of staring at the computer screen. Something that lets my mind wander, but keeps my body active–like vacuuming.
I lvoed your camping story over at NCV! Thanks for a great read!


After more than 50 experiments in mice, scientists have mapped out how a set of white blood cells (lymphocytes) set the pace of recovery after serious lung injury.
In acute lung injury (ALI), inflammation in the lungs makes breathing difficult. This results in a lack of oxygen to the body. Previous research indicated that lymphocytes play a role in lung inflammation, so the researchers bred mice genetically modified to be lymphocyte deficient.
They then exposed normal mice and the lymphocyte deficient mice to a gas containing bacteria known to cause injury to the lungs. They compared the death rates between the two groups of mice and saw a higher death rate in the mice without lymphocytes. They concluded that lymphocytes are key to recovery after lung injury.
To determine which type of lymphocytes were responsible for this response, the team then injected mice with different types and combinations of lymphocytes. They found that the levels of a particular subset of lymphocytes known as Tregs were directly proportional to the levels of lung inflammation.
To test the ability of Tregs as a potential therapy, they doubled the exposure of the bacterial toxin to the mice. This increased the death rate to half in untreated mice. However, when mice were administered Tregs after exposure to the toxin, the death rate fell to just one tenth, with many showing signs of recovery after just six days. Studies on lung tissue extracts from two people with ALI also showed that after 48 hours, Tregs were at 10 times the normal level. This discovery opens up the possibility of speeding up, or supplementing the levels of Tregs, so the next step is to identify the process by which Tregs cause the mouse immune response to repair the tissue.
