Q: Sharepoint Breadcrumbs (navigation) I attempted to add the breadcrumbs into my Sharepoint Wiki Site, I use code like this:
<asp:SiteMapPath runat="server" SiteMapProvider="SPContentMapProvider" id="ContentMap" CssClass="BreadCrumbWrap" PathSeparator=" > ">
        <CurrentNodeStyle CssClass="BreadCrumbWrap" />
        <PathSeparatorStyle CssClass="BreadCrumbWrap" />
        </asp:SiteMapPath>

But i didn't get the expected result. Now the breadcrumb leads to the library (folder), where the page is located.
E.g. Home --> Library --> Page from library
But my goal is to provide a breadcrumb, which leads to previous site - mother site.
E.g. Home --> Mother site with a link to child site --> Child Site
Do you have any ideas?

The X Factor is returning to U.S. television in a new agreement announced Wednesday. Following the cancellation of "The X Factor USA" last year, Fremantle and Syco have teamed up with AXS TV to broadcast the upcoming 11th season of the original UK hit series, which will feature Simon Cowell as a judge.
It's official. FOX has pulled the plug on its Fall singing competition series with former "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell.
Simon Cowell may be taking on a new role away from the judges table on the next season of "X Factor USA." That is if network execs decide to bring back the struggling reality singing competition.
Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio appear to be doing a great job on "X Factor USA" because Simon Cowell has nothing but good things to say about the audition process thus far.

My plan is to divide a garage to form a small separate soundproof area approximately 6' X 12'to 14' for a table saw, a router table, a planer, and any work requiring the use of a handheld circular saw which apparently is the loudest of them all. I need the 12' or 14' length to allow for ripping on the tablesaw, which I could rotate 90 degrees for crosscutting if necessary. I'm wondering if an STC rating of 60 would be sufficient to keep the neighbors happy. This enclosure would need ventilation of course, including some means of dust collection. There would be one door but no windows.
I would like to construct this with standard building materials except for things like special adhesives and caulking and possibly resilient channels.
At this point I'm wondering what your forum members think of this idea and if any of them have any experience with a similar project. Thank you.
we have plenty experience doing workshops...it would be best to contact me directly to discuss your options.
There are basic principles that have to met in order to gain the greatest noise reduction.
Here is my direct number.
But to answer your question, an STC of 60 will be more than enough to contain your shop noise. The tools are noisy, but in the higher frequencies mostly. An STC 60 partition will have more attenuation in the higher frequencies.

Biological membranes adopt different shapes, many of which are conserved amongst eukaryotes. The morphological dynamics of the lipid bilayer have been shown to play important roles in many cellular processes, be it organelle biogenesis, endocytosis, or vesicular trafficking, and defects have been linked to many diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle with extensive and continuous membrane network. How morphologically different ER domains are formed is not clear. Investigations of ER shaping and remodeling have led to the discovery of two groups of membrane proteins: the reticulons and DP1/Yop1p, proteins that are both necessary and sufficient for the generation of ER tubules; and a class of membrane-bound, dynamin-like GTPases, called atlastins, which appear to have a role in the fusion of ER membranes. Our recent structural and biochemical studies of atlastin provided first insight into the mechanism underlying ER fusion. We aim to use combined approaches to further investigate the mechanism and regulation of the tubular ER network formation. We are also interested in the functional significance of different ER morphologies, and their implication in various human diseases.


Would like to learn more about the Minnesota greats from the modernization periods of Minnesota distance running 1880s to 1959.
First runner to break 2:00 in the 880?
First runner to break 4:30 in the mile?
First runner to break 4:20 in the mile?
Let's also talk about the all-time greats whose school was along the shores of Lake Superior like Duluth (especially the historic Duluth Central), Two Harbors, etc. Geographically speaking I am fascinated by the iron range and shore towns.
The unique part about who was who in this time period is that their accolades will no doubt offer a window in to what life was like and we will identify well with them because they ran competitively.
Walter Cummings of Hector ran 2:00 flat in 1914. Cyril Kasper of Shattuck ran 1:58 flat in 1915.
Minnesota did not contest the Mile From 1922 to 1941. The best time I am aware of up to the end of 1921 was Louis Hauser of St. Paul Central who ran 4:38 1/5 in 1914. The first under 4:40 was Fred Watson of Minneapolis West in 1912 when he ran 4:39. Watson went on to win three Big 10 XC titles at Minnesota.
The first under 4:30 might be tricky. Jerry McNeal of Mpls. Southwest ran 4:29.1 at a City Relay Meet in 1954 and I am not sure if that was an actual relay or just adding of times. At the State Meet that spring, Rudy Arechigo of Moorhead ran 4:28.6.
I believe the first under 4:20 was Jerry Nelson of Faribault who ran 4:19.9 in 1959.

A stunning first book from one of the Chinese-Canadian community's most insightful and grippingly honest young voices, Intimate Distances is a deep exploration of the vicissitudes of interpersonal connection and family relationships. Lam writes poignantly and vividly about her background: her father's early death during her childhood, the end of marriage, the gradual loss of her mother to Alzheimer's and, most recently, childbirth.
Besides authoring two previous poetry books and a children's book, Fiona Tinwei Lam edited The Bright Well: Contemporary Canadian Poems on Facing Cancer, and co-edited Love Me True: Writers Reflect on the Ins, Outs, Ups & Downs of Marriage with Jane Silcott. Lam won The New Quarterly's Nick Blatchford Prize and was a finalist for the City of Vancouver Book Award. Her work appears in more than forty anthologies, including The Best Canadian Poetry in English (both 2010 and 2020). Her award-winning poetry videos have screened at festivals internationally. She teaches at SFU Continuing Studies.

Van Buren, Maine Vacation Guide
The St. Johns River divides the towns of Van Buren, Maine and St. Leonard, Canada
Attractions | Outdoor Recreation | Events | Directory | Map
Van Buren is one of Maine's most northerly towns, hugging the United States border with New Brunswick. Nicknamed "The Gateway to the St. John Valley," the town is proud of its heritage as a riverside community. The area was originally settled by the French, and those historical ties continue today, with approximately 75% of Van Buren residents habitually speaking French. Come to this beautiful town on the St. John River to learn about Francophone North America and explore its natural beauty.
The Acadian Village gives a fascinating glimpse of the culture of Acadians, descendants of 17th-century French settlers who came to Nova Scotia. The Acadians were active in three major industries — fishing, lumbering, and shipbuilding. The Acadian Village consists of 17 buildings on the St. John River. Several are examples of the distinctive Maine Acadian architectural style. Visit the Notre Dame de L'Assumption Chapel, a blacksmith shop, an old schoolhouse, a country store, a large Acadian barn, Morneault house, a barber shop, and other historic buildings. The oldest of these buildings is from the 1790s, making them significant cultural and historical artifacts.
Van Buren and the surrounding communities of Cyr Plantation and Hamlin are great for outdoor enthusiasts. The Bangor and Aroostook Trail is a 58-mile path made of crushed stone and dirt. This makes it suitable for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, cross-country skiers, and ATV users. The Split Cedar Trail is also popular with visitors, who enjoy its 11 miles of peaceful woodlands. The trail is open to snowshoers, cross-country skiers, hikers, ATV users, and mountain bikers. The Caribou Snowmobile Club grooms 170 miles of trails in the area, connecting Van Buren to other surrounding towns. The abundant snowfall and breathtaking scenery of the Van Buren area make it a popular destination for snowmobilers.
Water lovers will enjoy spending time on Long Lake, a beautiful clear lake on the outskirts of Van Buren. Although two other towns share the lakefront, no roads connect those towns to Van Buren. This makes the Van Buren portion of Long Lake a more secluded, relaxing getaway. Travel down dirt roads to reach the Van Buren Cove for hiking, walking, swimming, fishing, boating, and kayaking opportunities.
If you are interested in exploring the St. John River on the border of the United States and Canada, head to the International Boat Landing and Park. This park hosts numerous picnics, festivals, and other community gatherings for Van Buren residents. The St. John River is popular among canoeists and boaters who enjoy the views of Van Buren and other riverside towns from its rushing waters.
For an intimate look at Van Buren's French heritage, walk down its historic Main Street. Note the Acadian and French architectural details on building facades, reflecting the community's Francophone culture. Several cafes and outdoor restaurants set up outdoor seating during the summer month, making Main Street a popular gathering place for residents. Explore the cobblestone crosswalks and side streets by foot or on a bicycle to gain an appreciation of the close-knit community atmosphere. Several boutique stores sell clothing, local arts and crafts, antiques, and other collectible items.
Van Buren is connected to the New Brunswick city of St. Leonard by a bridge spanning the St. John River. Each year, the communities celebrate the International Grande Riviere Festival in the summer months. This festival features live music, food, picnics, flea markets, and a festive parade. Another popular summer event is the Van Buren Summerfest, with excellent refreshments, street fairs, a chili cook-off, tractor pull, karaoke, recreational activities, movies, live music, a kite flying contest, a hula hoop contest, and other fun events.

NEW YORK CITY | The new Trump era's assault on journalists, information gathering and facts poses an unprecedented challenge. With the factual landscape transforming at a dizzying pace, the need to accurately report and share reliable information is more urgent than ever.
How can professional journalists and the info-sharing public navigate today's profound reality turbulence when so many people feel entitled to their own facts (including the U.S. President) and trust in the media is low?
To explore ways to fight the false and find the true, the Society of Professional Journalists' New York chapter, known as Deadline Club, assembled an A-list panel of top media and law experts.
Lynn Oberlander, general counsel of media operations at First Look Media and board director for the Media Law Resource Center.
The moderator was Sheryl Huggins Salomon, senior editor-at-large and former managing editor of TheRoot.com.
The event was organized by Jessica Seigel, video recorded and edited by M. Cat Sandoval, and photographed by Marcus Beasley.

Ferantov vrt (česky doslova Ferantova zahrada) je obytný komplex, nacházející se na rohu ulic Slovenska cesta a Rimska cesta jižně od centra slovinské Lublaně. Jedná se o brutalistickou stavbu, jejímž architektem byl Edvard Ravnikar.

Komplex budov vychází z prostředí antického fóra, které se ve městě Emona (dnešní Lublaň) nacházelo před stovkami let a navazuje na něj otevřeným prostředím uprostřed bloku. Vybudován byl v letech 1964 – 1975. Komplex byl navržen tak, že přízemní prostory slouží pro obchodní účely a vyšší patra poté jako byty. Celkem čtyři objekty byly rozmístěny okolo původního fóra, které slouží de facto jako dvůr. Nový blok však nebyl zbudován celý; z jižní strany (Rimska ulica) se dochovaly dva domy z 19. století.

Svůj název má komplex podle zahradníka Viktoriji Ferantovi, který bydlel na pozemku advokáta Franco Mundeho, který zahradu vlastnil v 19. století.

Report: A Private Message Can Brick Your PS4
There are multiple reports of private messages managing to brick PS4 consoles, with the fix requiring a factory reset of the hardware. Sony has yet to comment, but for now it's best to restrict your messages to just friends or no one at all.
byMatthew Humphries Oct 15, 2018
It's much easier to come out on top in a multiplayer game if your opponents suddenly disappear, and that seems to be happening at the moment on PS4 thanks to rogue private messages.
As VG247 explains, PS4 owners are reporting via Reddit that their console is bricked when a new private message, or even the notification of a new message pops up on screen. Attempting to delete the message using the mobile app doesn't solve the problem. The only fix is to factory reset your console.
Although not a console killer, it's more than a little frustrating to know your PS4 can be taken down with a message. For now, Sony hasn't commented and therefore the exploit can continue to run wild. You can stop it happening to your PS4, though, with a quick settings change.
Simply navigate to Settings > Account Management > Privacy Settings and locate the Messaging settings. Change the option to either just friends or no one at all. That way you can't receive the rogue message (unless you have terrible friends). As to how this is happening, the most likely cause is a character, or set of characters Sony's messaging system can't handle or acts on in some way that renders the console unusable.
I suspect before the day is over Sony will have confirmed the problem exists and a fix is underway. Hopefully the fix also appears before the day is over, but I won't hold my breath.

LeBron James among athletes speaking out about George Floyd's death

REUTERS, AFP-JIJI
Los Angeles – NBA superstar LeBron James was among the athletes taking to social media in outrage over the death of a black man in Minnesota after a white policeman kneeled on his neck for several minutes.
Four Minneapolis police officers were fired on Tuesday over Monday's incident in which a handcuffed George Floyd can be heard repeatedly moaning and gasping while he pleads, "Please, I can't breathe, please, man."
James, a four-time NBA MVP, weighed in on Instagram Tuesday with a post that referenced Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who famously kneeled during the U.S. national anthem to protest racial injustice.
The post includes a photo of the officer pinning his knee on Floyd's neck alongside a photo of Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem while a member of the San Francisco 49ers. It was topped with the caption "This … … Is Why."
James, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, also wrote in the post "Do you understand NOW!!??!!?? Or is it still blurred to you?? #StayWoke."
Kaepernick popularized the gesture of kneeling during pregame renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in 2016. He became a free agent after that season and has yet to be signed by another team. Other players joined in Kaepernick's protest, drawing the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump. Kaepernick's activism was seen as a reason teams are wary of signing him.
Other figures from the sports world also spoke out on social media.
"This is murder. Disgusting," Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr tweeted. "Seriously, what the hell is wrong with US????"
Warriors star Stephen Curry lamented yet another death involving an unarmed black man at the hands of law enforcement.
"I've seen a lot of people speak up and try to articulate how fed up and angry they are," Curry wrote on Instagram. "All good and well but it's the same same same reality we live in. George Floyd. George Floyd. George has a family. George didn't deserve to die."
Retired Lakers legend Magic Johnson also hit out, saying Floyd had been "clearly murdered."
"How many times do we have to see black men killed on national television? This has been going on for entirely too long," Johnson said.
"We need to start seeing black people as human beings and not animals on the street."
Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. tweeted: "Worlds honestly sickening. It really is….. no explanation."
Basketball Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie, a two-time WNBA champion, tweeted: "If anybody that follows me is not outraged about these senseless attacks on BLACK MEN, please stop following me! If your spirit is not disturbed, please stop following me!"
"This inflicted Pain but it will never inflict FEAR… sorry, were not made like that! #BlackMenMatter," she added.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence also voiced his outrage.
"DONE BEING QUIET AND DONE BEING ANGRY," Lawrence tweeted. "HOW CAN WE FEEL SAFE WHEN THOSE MEANT TO PROTECT US ARE KILLIN' US?!!!! WHEN WILL MINORITIES BE FREE TO BE AMERICANS IN AMERICA!?"
Former U.S. soccer star Taylor Twellman posted the video on Twitter with the message: "When will it stop?! Honestly this is murder in plain daylight."
Floyd's death drew comparisons to the 2014 death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who died in New York after being placed in a chokehold by police, begging to be released and saying, "I can't breathe."

I live in the Midwest where winters are harsh to people, cars and roads, and everything else in between.
We are all very much afraid of having a car that will die in the middle of a field during a blizzard on a very cold day and dying alone.
So we buy reliable cars, right?
Anyways, I have wanted a Fiat for a loooooong time and three weeks ago I bought a 2013 Sport Turbo which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!
I love the look of it, I love the growl, I love the speed. But the car is disappointing me.
Within the first week, I had to have the front left rim replaced because it was bent and caused the car to shake.
In the third week, the windshield has begun to crack!
Is it fair to say WTF?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?
I am not too sure what my options are now... I am not mad at the car but maybe at the dealership. I got the 3M clearshield and because they could not install it for a week and a half, I got a rock chip on the hood, which is still there. It was a NIGHTMARE with the rim issue.
First off sorry to hear about the bum luck with your car. How did the rim bend and the windshield crack? Assuming the damage was from the bad roads in the Midwest you've described, I personally would find it hard to blame the dealer or car. That damage could happen with any car on crappy roads. I'm from RI which has the 2nd worst roads in the country according to this report. http://money.msn.com/now/post--which-states-have-the-worst-roads You'd swear bombs dropped in some of our roads so I feel your pain and frustration. Best of luck with your car.
I don't mean to come off as a jerk, but driving on bad roads can cause any rim to bend or crack. It's not the dealerships fault you chose or have to drive your car on a bad road. As far as the chip goes, it's kind of the same thing. It's not their fault they couldn't get you in to install the clearshield. You chose to drive your car without it. If you go out and buy a brand new phone and they don't have screen protectors in stock, if you choose to put it in your pocket and it gets scratched, who's fault is it?
I asked about the circumstances on how these issues came about as has been asked here...I think what these guys have stated is just how it is...I am sorry to hear these problems have occurred though.
Just let the insurance take care of the windshield. I personally wouldn't bother the dealership about that. The don't cover cracked windshields. I'm surprised they replaced the rim unless you told them you had a vibration as soon as you got home from the delivery.
Good luck and don't let it get you down.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the windshield crack following a severe blow to the rim from road conditions...if that is what actually happened of course. However, I would still have the dealer look at this to make sure its not an actual issue with the car if there are no other reasons for the issues.
But as F500USA said above...keep a stiff upper lip with the car...she will treat you right if you are returning the favor. As I have shared previously, I have a few issues with my car also that I have been too lazy to go resolve. But still loving my Abarth!!! Good luck!
I know what it's like to want something, and to be able to get it, only to realize it wasn't at all what I needed. Need comes first. Want comes second.
From the weather and roads you've described, this car was a want. Not a need. The need vehicle, the kind of vehicle you NEED for your area is the vehicle that probably has 4wd, good ground clearance. Enough power to get you unstuck, or to help get someone else unstuck. Maybe a truck or something similar. Has a tow hitch or winch. Maybe ye olde CB radio or something else that WILL communicate over distances when cell phones won't.
The kind that has a spare tire, a jerry can for gas, and even some food supplies or camping equipment or sleeping bag. Just in case. Instead of dying alone stuck in the snow, they'll find you wrapped in Himalayan-quality clothing and sleeping bag, grilling a steak on a camp stove with a nice bottle of Chianti. And I've just mentally combined "Fargo" with "Silence of the Lambs". That would have been an interesting movie.
Anyway, that's what you need.
The fun WANT car comes afterwards. And it's a weekend car, that you drive carefully until you get to the smooth roads more appropriate for your car.
I know this because I bought a big block Corvette and have no mechanical knowledge. It was partially an "up yours, buddy" to the former spouse. It was a want. It was a purchase driven by emotion without thought. It wasn't at all what I needed. And with the crappy gas mileage, I couldn't even go on nice long drives. And then it broke down a lot.
As pretty as it looked, I grew to hate that car. I still have dreams where I'm stuck with it. LOL. I could have had a much better life at the time with something smaller and more economical. I really enjoyed my VW Cabriolet when I got it, much more of what I needed. And I'm sincerely loving my Fiat. Still wish I had the back seats from the Honda Fit though. Those were useful.
So what you've got is a car that will probably end up getting all banged up, and rattled to death. Because of the roads and the weather. Rocks are flying, and that's going to take a toll.
And the only way that won't happen is not to drive it or to move to a smooth roaded area. Every car on the market has a windshield that breaks when rocks hit it. They all ding.
After that, keep checking the Fiat news, and check out the model coming out that is supposed to have 4wd. Or hope they put 4wd into the 500L Trekking. The Trekking front end and wheel well surrounds have a plastic on them. That's a lot more durable than a painted finish. It can get scuffed and won't leave you with nicks that become rust spots. Good things.
Also, when I was buying my car, they did offer some supplemental insurance protection stuff, one of the offerings was for wheels. If they bend or break or whatever. Well, I've never had that problem before, and don't foresee having it, as I don't really drive much. And the roads here are decent. But if you get another car, definitely ask about the wheel insurance, because of your area. And ask your insurance company about glass coverage. You'll pay for that, but you are where rocks are flying, you'll pay for the windshield one way or another. With the insurance company, it's like paying for it over time. LOL. Less stressful in the long run to know you have coverage for it.
You can do that now, get the coverage in case it happens again, for the windshield.
These things may NEVER happen again. Your wheels could be perfectly fine for many years to come. Your windshield could withstand endless pummeling. These might be the only problems you have. That would be awesome.
It will more likely be somewhere in between. Your windshield will not break every week, but some doofus will bang their car door soundly into your door. Or you'll get nasty curb rash. Cover yourself for what you can, and realize the rest is chance and fate and common sense or lack of it.
All windshields are subject to stone chips. My brand-new-in-'06 Civic got one a month after I bought it, and that windshield is practically horizontal! The wheel dent probably won't happen again now that you've had the car a while, and have a better feel for what obstacles need to be steered around. I predict that in 6 months these "just getting started" issues will be far behind you, and you will be very happy with your nimble little Turbo.
Yeah those shouldn't be regrets as everyone else commented on.
You could be having a leaky transmission, popped out A pillars, paint issues, turbo screwing up, and probably 10 other items that have happened to people's brand new Fiats. Consider yourself lucky!
And now, to add the cherry on top!
Last night, after a hot date, here I am trying to act all cool and the 500 flashes me the CEL.
I guess he got jealous.
It runs really rough and misfires like crazy. I am trying to get in touch with my dealer to see what he can do, because this is awful.
I read the code and it gave me a cylinder 1 misfire.
I mean, come on, the car doesn't even have 20,000 miles!!!!!!!!
With 20k it could be a bad plug, bad plug wire, mouse eaten/chafed plug wire.
HAHA Andree. I love it.
I kind of have to agree with everyone. Not to say I wouldnt be PO if I had those things happen. 3 months after I got my car(2012 used) I had to have major engine surgery at the studio. I was very angry. I got over it , it was covered by warrenty. I talked to a mechanic at a local gas station who fixes our caravan and he said it happens way more than people think. He just sent another customer that had their car brand new for 4 weeks , I think it was a Honda, back to the dealer to get fixed for the same type of rear main seal leak.
Maybe you could get a winter car :) I live in New England . winters are bad ...sometimes. If there is to much snow I just wont go anywhere. what I would like to know how well the engine starts up when its really cold.
My Sport has 20,000 miles on it now and three of the rims are scraped up from hitting curbs on turns, both doors are dinged up from other doors hitting them in parking lots, the hood has dings from rocks, the windshield is chipped, the door seals are noisy with wind, the computer gives false engine codes periodically, the armrest is broken and the emblems are bubbling but hey, it's a Fiat! Now I can start putting rally mods on it!
I've had a dinged up rim and a star in the windshield as well as two door dings, all of which I had repaired.
Neither of these have anything to do with the dealer or the quality of the car.


Acaryochloris marina is a symbiotic species of the phylum Cyanobacteria that produces chlorophyll d, allowing it to use far-red light, at 710 nm wavelength.
It was first discovered in 1993 from coastal isolates of coral in the Republic of Palau in the west Pacific Ocean and announced in 1996. Despite the claim in the 1996 Nature paper that its formal description was to be published shortly thereafter, a tentative partial description was presented in 2003 due to phylogenetic issues (deep branching cyanobacterium).
Its genome was sequenced in 2008, revealing a large bacterial genome of 8.3 Mb with nine plasmids.
The name Acaryochloris is a combination of the Greek prefix a (ἄν) meaning "without", caryo (κάρυον) meaning "nut" (here intended as "nucleus") and chloros (χλωρός) meaning green; therefore it is new Latin Acaryochloris meaning "without nucleus green". The specific epithet marina is Latin meaning "marine".
Scientists including NASA's Nancy Kiang have proposed that the existence of Acaryochloris marina suggests that organisms that use chlorophyll d, rather than chlorophyll a, may be able to perform oxygenic photosynthesis on exoplanets orbiting red dwarf stars (which emit much less light than the Sun). Because about 70% of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are red dwarfs, the existence of A. marina implies that oxygenic photosynthesis may be occurring on far more exoplanets than astrobiologists initially thought possible.

93 Percent of Docs Say Emergency Rooms Are Not Prepared for Disaster: Study
"Emergency physicians are concerned that our system cannot even meet daily demands, let alone during a medical surge for a natural or man-made disaster," ACEP's president says
By Christina Bravo	• Published at 2:06 pm on May 21, 2018
Only six percent of emergency physicians said that their emergency departments were fully prepared for a disaster
Ninety percent of about 250 doctors polled said there was a shortage or absence of critical medication in their emergency rooms
Ninety-three percent of doctors say their emergency departments are not fully prepared for a surge of patients in the event of a disaster, according to a new poll by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
The poll released Tuesday also revealed that less than 50 percent of emergency physicians believed they were even somewhat prepared for an emergency that require drastically increased patient capacity, whether due to a natural disaster or man-made event like a mass shooting.
The study polled more than 1,300 emergency physicians from both urban and suburban hospitals from April 25 to May 6. The survey had a response rate of 18.6 percent and a 2.7 percent margin of error.
Only six percent of respondents answered that their emergency departments were fully prepared and, on the other end of the spectrum, 17 percent said their departments were not at all prepared.
"Emergency physicians are concerned that our system cannot even meet daily demands, let alone during a medical surge for a natural or man-made disaster," said ACEP President Dr. Paul Kivela in a release.
In another striking finding, 90 percent of about 250 doctors polled said there was a shortage or absence of critical medication in their emergency rooms and that over the last year those shortages have increased, according to the poll.
Dr. Karl Marzec, an emergency medicine specialist with Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, California, said he is often prompted to use a different medication, which may not be his first line of treatment, due to the shortage.
"Over the last six months, there's been prolonged shortage of critical medications that we use on a daily basis, so we've been having to go to alternative medications," Marzec said. "Some of them work just as effectively but we are also in shortage of these backup alternative medications that we're using."
Marzec said pain medication, nausea treatments and saline — all of which help patients recover — are in short supply and that could slow down patient care in a mass casualty event.
The respondents were also asked whether their hospital re-evaluated procedures in light of recent events. Thirty percent of physicians said they had not really or not at all re-evaluated, while 44 percent of emergency rooms did somewhat evaluate their procedures.
Marzec said his hospitals do prepare by thinking about what type of emergencies could occur in San Diego County, like fires, earthquakes and shootings.
"If there's large fires throughout the county, we'd be thinking, 'What are our burn facility capabilities,'" Marzec said.
ACEP said a coordinated approach to preparedness, including a region-wide data management system and tracking of resources, is key to ensuring preparedness in a mass emergency.
The organization is working to get a bill approved by Congress that could increase oversight of medical resources, allowing for better tracking and ensuring supplies are there when needed, Marzec said.

Charlaine Harris' Anthony Award-winning Sookie Stackhouse mysteries have become a fixture on the New York Times best-seller list and have inspired the acclaimed HBO series True Blood.
In her ninth adventure, Sookie has just tied on her cocktail waitress apron for a night's work when a special report comes on the television. The time has come. The wereanimals have revealed themselves.
But there's an even greater danger threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings - older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves - is preparing for war. And Sookie finds herself an all-too human pawn in their battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fae War
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2020
Besides the typical everyday drama of the town: Jason and his wife, new marriages, new murders and the Weres/Shapeshifters coming fully out to the world. The Fae war is on and so may lives will be lost in this epic battle. The fairies aren't all fond of humans and fairies that associate with humans. Battle lines will be drawn and fae, Weres, Vampires and all will have to choose their sides. Sookie will also learn what really happened to her parents and while killed her parents.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Written Equivalent to a Little Old Lady's House: So Much Clutter
Set approximately three months after the tumultuous events of the previous entry in her Sookie Stackhouse series (2008's From Dead to Worse), author Charlaine Harris' latest release, Dead and Gone, takes off full-speed ahead and never once slows down. Therein lies a very big problem with this book, though...
Unfortunately for the fans of Ms. Harris' usually-compelling series, the result of all her labor last year is just a crazy quilt of frenetic events, as heroine Sookie races from trying to put out one metaphorical fire here to saving someone else's skin (or, heaven help her, her own skin, AGAIN) from another harrowing situation there. The poor girl never gets a chance to stop and catch her breath or regain her equilibrium, and as a result, the entire story shows her behaving in very un-Sookie-like ways (almost as if she's taken way too much cold medicine and is trying desperately--but failing-- to act "normal"). Her interactions with her current boyfriend (Eric the vampire) are notably odd. Her responses to the many deaths that occur are strangely remote. She is disconnected. She isn't amused, nor (sadly) is she amusing. Actually, Sookie isn't even particularly likable here (for the first time in the series!). In short, Sookie is off-kilter in this book, and the reader is left that way, as well.
As difficult as it is to keep up with the hyper pace, Ms. Harris does manage to keep the reader engaged, albeit unsettled. Definitely the most grim and gruesome entry in the series to date, DAG offers up numerous, gratuitously-graphic deaths and horrific surprises (shocks), while also attempting to address long-standing relationship issues. Many fans will be gratified that Ms. Harris continues to show parallels between her fictionalized world and the real one, by spotlighting the harmful effects of prejudice toward persons of different races and sexual orientations. (The fact that she makes her points with a sword rather than a paring knife, figuratively speaking, is rather disturbing, however. Like so many other aspects of this book, such scenes are just uncomfortably over-the-top.)
Yet another problem is Ms. Harris' decision to go out of her way to include several auxiliary characters, no doubt to appease readers who have expressed sadness over certain characters' absence in recent books. Most of these characters are relegated to mere cameo appearances, though, so fans will likely be left rather unsatisfied in that regard; the book, meanwhile, is left with quite a lot of clutter.
Despite Ms. Harris' attempts, there is just WAY too much going on in DAG for one normal-length book, and the reader is left feeling nearly as spent and exhausted upon completing it as poor Sookie is. Hopefully after this aberration (at least, what I can only HOPE is an aberration, and not a harbinger of her future books), Ms. Harris will sit herself down in a nice comfy easy chair, with a big glass of sweet tea by her side, to peacefully contemplate an easier, more pleasant adventure for her heroine's next appearance on the bookshelves. Sookie and company--as well as the readers--deserve it.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Review of Books 1-8! {NO Spoilers}
I first heard of this series because of True Blood. Yeah, I'm one of those that got late in the game LOL. At the time I hadn't started my obsession with UF and PNR so it was quite understandable that a couch potato like me learned of the TV show before finding out there was a book series behind it.
After I got addicted to reading everything paranormal, this series kept popping into my radar. I had already seen the show and loved it, because of that I was reluctant to read it. That doesn't make any sense? I'll explain. I HATE reading a book that has become as series/movie after I have already watched the series/movie.
An example was the Dresden File series by Jim Butcher. I had seen some of the TV show's episodes and therefore felt tainted when I started reading book one. It took me forever to finish it, but by the end I got really into it. I feel that I need a blank slate when reading a book series and not being influenced by the TV or the movies.
I finally gave in and bought a box with books 1-8 and even after that it took me a while to start it. I did and I have to say I was done for after that. Book one was a bit shaky, because of the damn comparison with the TV show that kept going through my mind, but after that? Damn, I was in love! I read the 9 Books out so far in a week and I want more and more...
The Sookie Stackhouse series is not deep and does not try to be something that it isn't. It's a fun series, with interesting characters that live in a world like our own, but where Vampires are not only real, but have just "come out of the coffin".
The Sookie in the book is so much better than the TV one. She is strong, loyal, fun, interesting and you can't help but love her and feel for her. She is just great. I loved her sense of humor and her loyalty to her friends. I loved that she sticks up for herself even to powerful vamps that would leave anyone else trembling.
A lot goes on from Book 1 until the latest installment and I don't want to spoil anything, but I have to say that all the books so far are fast paced, fun and full of adventure. There are tons of secondary characters that make the world Sookie lives in very interesting and rich.
In the romance department we have to deal with Bill, Sam, Eric and more... Personally I LOVE Eric and am definitely part of TEAM ERIC hehe. The sex scenes aren't up to erotic standards, but they are there and I have to say that at times, they were very steamy, specially where Eric was concerned ::fans self::
Best Book so far: I have to say it was "Dead to the World" (Book 4) - A lot of a Eric and a lot of fun =)
Most Difficult Book to read: "Dead and Gone" (Book 8) - A lot happens in this book and it has a lot of pain. Some people have told me they were very disappointed with it, I actually enjoyed this book a lot. But it was definitely a hard book, specially having to see Sookie suffer so much.
Worst Book so far: "Touch of Dead" (Book 9 - Short Stories collection) - after finishing book 8 I went on the hunt for anything Sookie and was quite disappointed with this one. A couple stories were fun, but it was montly Blah! for me...
All in all, I LOVED this series. Sookie is no Kate Daniels of Allie Beckstrom. She is not the kick-ass heroine we are used to seeing in Urban Fantasy books. However she does kick-ass in her own way, by being brave, fun and flawed. She is far from perfect and that makes her more real and even more lovable. She makes the wrong choices a lot of the time and can be so irritating, but you can't help but love her anyways.
I recommend this series to any Paranormal fan out there. You won't be disappointed!

I have to agree with most other reviews on this book, regarding the slight shift in Sookie's otherwise sunny disposition and the fact that some of the characters veer off in unexpected directions. This didn't put me off the story though; in fact, it's interesting to see most other key characters (eg. Eric) "grow" along with Sookie in the course of the few years since the Bon Temps-based story began.
I feel that the book follows a most natural course in terms of dealing with the supernatural elements; after gradually introducing all kinds of supernatural beings, the Sookie story progresses in parallel to the revelation of each group of creatures, i.e. vampires, weres, shifters, witches, fairies. And while the loss of well-liked characters ends the story on a sad note, it mostly adds to the suspense of what is to follow in Sookie's world now that the Weres are out, the fairies dealt with and her bizarre love triangle is at a turning point.
Hopefully book 10 will continue to deliver in terms of story, character development and the abundance of sense of humour with which the series is written.

4.0 out of 5 stars ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2010
The Great Reveal! Now vampires are successfully integrated, weres come out into the open - one of them promptly to be found crucified outside Sam's bar....
As ever, Charlaine Harris is highly inventive, this powerful opening in fact NOT the main theme of the ninth novel. The current Great Threat comes from a different source altogether. Rebellious fairies consider their race tarnished by human links - they plan to destroy all those involved. With her inherited fairy blood, Sookie needs all the help she can get from vampires, weres, fairies (the nice ones), a garden trowel and water pistols filled with lemon juice. Everything will become very nasty indeed, the writer never holding back when describing pain inflicted.
Another riveting read. Fans of Eric will have cause to rejoice. It is also good to see Sookie's brother Jason maturing a bit. Scattered throughout are promising storylines no doubt to be explored in future novels. There are also surprises. One thing is for sure: however long the series, however great the dangers and the carnage, Sookie will soon be back in Sam's bar -serving with a smile. Would we want it otherwise!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2011
This is the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series. I will admit that I only read the Sookie Stackhouse books as I had watched the television series however I absolutely love the books and now find the television series a bit wanting at times (although I still love the TV series). They seem to change the story in the television series so much from the books which in my opinion don't need changing however I assume they do this for a 'more dramatic storyline'. For anyone who is a fan of the television series then I would definitely advise them to read the books as they are so much better and go into so much more detail than the TV series can. I absolutely fell in love with Eric Northman in the series and if there was a 'team Eric' vs a 'team Bill' then I am definitely on team Eric! I can't wait until the latest instalment in the series is released from Charlaine Harris and I shall be reading it as soon as it touches my doormat!
5.0 out of 5 stars Babies on the brain
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2010
Hmmn ... what do we have? Pregnant were-panthers (and fairies), torture, slaughter, violence with gardening tools, a large dash of vampiric sex, war, were-revelations. All in all, very entertaining.
Not my most favourite of the 9 so far, but still another enjoyable installment of this series.
Wouldn't have minded a bit more enlightenment on the Sookie-Eric emotional relationship though. It either needs to develop or that piece of bed candy needs to be replaced with something more substantial.
Like getting back with Bill. Or putting Sam out of his misery? I can't decide which of those too I would prefer Sookie to end up with, (but being that there are several other contenders (Eric and Quinn in particular) maybe she will end up with neither!
I don't know if C Harris is working towards something with the baby theme (we'll have to wait and see), but I think Sookie would make a great mother to a child, and none of her vampire suitors can give her one.
Well, I'm obviously still hooked on this series, and if you're up to book 9 so are you probably, so here's to continued enjoyment of the series! ;0

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rollicking Good Read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2010
The True Blood series have been a great read although I did buy the box set thinking there were only 8 books in the series. I'm torn between wanting it to end (how can she go thru so much in one or two years) and not wanting to have to find another book to get hooked into. If you have read the others then this is much in the same vein lots of action and the various strands of her complicated love life! Generally a great read.


I haven't used their service for a long time, but I see Bulgaria Post as a pretty reliable postal company. I always get my packages on time and have no problems with my shipments. There was only one confusing thing. At first, I spend some time looking for how can I use my Bulgarian Post tracking number. But it's not a big deal and, all in all, I got the package.
I used their service only once and it actually was a nice experience. They didn't damage or lose my parcel. It was expensive and fragile stuff inside. I am really glad that I got everything intact. Also, I still haven't managed how to use Bulgarian Post tracking on the official website. Has somebody got it?
I've been using service of the Bulgaria Post for a while. Can't say anything special. The delivery time is fine. It's not super fast but it is ok. Also, I haven't had any problems with them so far. The delivery always was in time. I noticed only one negative moment. It's not that easy to find how you can use your Bulgarian Post tracking service. I've been looking for a solution with their official website but it looks like it's not possible. Maybe if I will spend some more time I will succeed. But using Bulgarian Post tracking number on the third party service is now more convenient.
Bulgarian Post tracking didn't give me any information about my parcel for a week. I was waiting for the parcel from Sofia and was pretty nervous about the situation. Fortunately, my package has come. The good thing is that it was undamaged but still, I would like to have more details when I use Bulgarian Post tracking number. Hope they can fix it because the postal service itself is nice.
I needed Bulgaria Post international tracking because I send different documents to Bulgaria regularly. In general, this postal company is rather nice, I didn't have any problems with it.
Bulgaria Post tracking is necessary for me because my family lives in Bulgaria, and we often send different parcels to each other. Bulgaria Post is a good company, but, all in all, tracking is necessary.

2016 Range Rover Evoque
2016-01-05 10:00:28.0 By Chris Greener The latest new cars
Price: £30,200, on sale from Spring 2016
The new Range Rover Evoque will be the most efficient production Land Rover ever, according to the car makers themselves.
The Evoque will see the debut of Land Rover's advanced new diesel engine, a new EU6-compliant four-cylinder Ingenium unit that brings a class-leading combination of performance refinement and efficiency.

Manufacturers estimate that CO2 emissions will be as low as 109g/km, and the diesel engine.

The luxury compact SUV is the manufacturers fastest-selling model, and will look to reinforce its status as a the market leader with new features including a comprehensive range of design features and technologies.
Advances in the Evoque's design include a new front bumper, two new grille designs, all-LED headlamps and three all-new alloy wheel designs.
The interior will now include new seats and door casings, a new infotainment system accessed via an eight-inch touchscreen, and the introduction of new colour and materials such as Lunar Ice, Vintage Tan and Dark Cherry.
An array of safety features make the Evoque more reliable than ever. Lane-Keeping Assist uses the stereo digital camera to prevent unintended lane changes by monitoring road markings, and it also applies a gentle steering correction if the vehicle begins to drift into an adjacent lane without the driver signalling beforehand.
The advanced forward-facing stereo digital camera is also used for Autonomous Emergency Braking, a system that prevents or reduces the severity of accidents in the event of the driver failing to take preventative action. The system can identify potential hazards ahead, and if a collision risk is detected, the driver will be alerted by visual and audible prompts.
The system can help to avoid collisions below 32 mph, and reduces the severity of an impact at speeds below 50 mph if the driver fails to take evasive action.
The final of three new advanced safety systems is Attention Assist Estimation, a system that monitors steering inputs to detect when a driver is at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. When drowsiness is detected, audible alarms and visual warnings will attempt to wake the driver up.
