Attorneys Law Enforcement

(Cindy Ellen Russell/Honolulu Star-Advertiser via AP)
HONOLULU (AP) — Two U.S. marshals led a former Honolulu prosecutor out of a courtroom Friday when a U.S. judge ordered her detained after a jury found her guilty of conspiracy and he expressed concern that she could try to obstruct justice before being sentenced.
Katherine Kealoha left her purse with her defense attorney as the marshals approached to take her into custody after the bail hearing.
She "lies as easily as she draws breath" and will do anything to avoid consequences, prosecutors said in court documents seeking her detention.
"This defendant is a walking crime-spree," Michael Wheat, a special federal prosecutor, told the judge in court, saying she holds sway with police and has tampered with grand jury witnesses in the past.
Her lawyer said Friday that the judge should consider that the 48-year-old Kealoha had previously complied with all the conditions of her release on bond during the trial.
"That has to count for something," defense attorney Cynthia Kagiwada said. She also said there was no showing that Kealoha had engaged in obstructive behavior.
U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright interrupted: "We heard from 12 people yesterday." In finding Kealoha and her husband, former police chief Louis Kealoha, 58, guilty of conspiracy Thursday, the jury also determined they obstructed justice.
The jury also convicted two officers in a plot to frame Katherine Kealoha's uncle Gerard Puana for the theft of a mailbox to discredit him in a family financial dispute.
Prosecutors said during the trial that the Kealohas were afraid the uncle would reveal fraud that enriched the couple's lavish life. Maintaining their power and prestige was a motive for the framing, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors didn't oppose allowing Louis Kealoha, police Lt. Derek Hahn and Officer Bobby Nguyen to remain free on bond. The jury acquitted retired Major Gordon Shiraishi.
Louis Kealoha didn't attend his wife's bail hearing. They have appeared hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm when arriving at court since their 2017 indictment and during the trial that began in May.
The conspiracy charge carries a maximum 20-year sentence but legal observers believe Katherine Kealoha could get less than 10 years behind bars.
The Kealohas face another trial on bank fraud and identity theft charges involving allegations that she bilked relatives and children whose trusts she controlled.
Prosecutors say Katherine Kealoha stole from her now-99-year-old grandmother in a reverse mortgage scheme that forced her grandmother to sell her family home. They say Kealoha spent the money on Maserati and Mercedes-Benz car payments, a banquet when her husband became police chief and Elton John concert tickets.
Prosecutors say some was lavished on her firefighter lover.
Katherine Kealoha also faces a third trial on a separate indictment accusing her and her pain physician brother of drug dealing. She used her position as a prosecutor to cover up their crimes and protect her brother, the indictment said.
During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Katherine Kealoha as the ringleader of the conspiracy. She invented an alias, Alison Lee Wong, to forge documents, and tried to have her grandmother declared incompetent to silence her, prosecutors told the jury.
Jurors watched a deposition from Puana's mother, Florence Puana, who was unable to testify in court because of her failing health.
Gerard Puana testified that Katherine Kealoha came to them with an idea about taking out a reverse mortgage on her grandmother's home to help buy a condo her uncle wanted. Kealoha said she would consolidate her debts — which prosecutors described as massive — and promised her uncle and grandmother that she would pay off the loan.
Wheat noted that Kealoha tampered with potential witnesses, including sending letters trying to convince them Alison Lee Wong is a real person.
"Well, it's pretty clear who Alison Lee Wong is," Seabright said. "It's Katherine Kealoha."
Kealoha had an innocent man incarcerated and tried to silence her grandmother "after engaging in an outright theft of their money," Seabright said.
"To be clear, it was her own grandmother she did this to," he said.
She also got her firefighter boyfriend to lie about their affair to a grand jury and convinced the man whose childhood trust she controlled that his mother would go to jail if he didn't lie and say Kealoha gave him his money, Seabright said.
Attempting to obstruct justice is "Ms. Kealoha's bread and butter," Seabright said.
Kenneth Lawson, who teaches criminal law at the University of Hawaii's law school, attended her bail hearing and said he knows how humiliating it is to be detained. He said he was sentenced to two years in federal prison for fraudulently obtaining prescriptions to feed an opioid addiction.
Kealoha will "adapt" at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center, he said, adding that like he did, she will be able to trade her legal expertise for "food and candy."

A History of Landmark
Who we are and where we came from
Sir John Smith, founder of The Landmark Trust
Over 50 years ago the philanthropist John Smith founded The Landmark Trust together with his wife Christian. Their aim was to try and prevent the loss of the sort of smaller historic building with which neither the National Trust nor the Ministry of Works was concerned.
The Landmark Trust had its genesis in the Smith's dismay at the rate at which places were being damaged or destroyed in the 1960s. Historic buildings were falling faster than at any other moment in peacetime. Economic and social change, combined with the devastation of war, were a potent cocktail. The Euston Arch came down in 1961, British Railways called for the closure of a third of the country's 7,000 railways in 1963 and widespread slum clearance saw thousands of vernacular houses crumpled by the wrecking ball.
The Smiths were already active in the world of conservation. John Smith was an influential early exponent of the importance of industrial buildings and from his twenties had been closely involved with the National Trust. The demolition of Thomas Telford's Junction House on the Ellesmere Canal in the early 1960s was a turning point. "I began to realise," John Smith later recalled, "that there were certain buildings that fell, as it were, through the holes in the net." This sort of smaller or quirkier building sowed the idea of the Landmark Trust.

Whether the notion would work at all was unclear at the beginning, as Christian Smith remembers: "When John was first thinking about setting up the Landmark Trust, he said to me: 'I've had an idea. If we were to restore historic buildings do you think people might stay in them?' I said, 'Yes I think they might.'
By deeds dated 24 May 1965, the Landmark Trust was created. It had two goals: 'the preservation of small buildings or structures of historic interest, architectural merit or amenity value, and where possible finding suitable uses for them' and 'protecting and promoting the enjoyment of places of historic or natural beauty.'
John concentrated on the architectural aspects of the buildings' rescue, while Christian determined their interior appearance, choosing colour schemes and overseeing the printing of specially-designed textiles to designs by the artist Jennifer Packer.

For the past 35 years, John Evetts has overseen the furnishing of each Landmark. From the early days, the interiors of our buildings were designed in-house, with a view to making them both welcoming and in harmony with the building. The furniture used in Landmark's buildings is generally a mixture of carefully chosen old pieces and new items we have either selected as appropriate, or created ourselves.
The interiors are designed to be elegant and simple - the pictures, printed textiles, furniture and decorative details are chosen to bring out the character of the building. "I don't want people to feel they have to tiptoe around, or that the decoration jars with the building," says furnishings manager John Evetts.
Church Cottage in Llandygwydd
The first Landmark to open was Church Cottage in Llandygwydd. In the five decades since, an extraordinary number of buildings have been rescued. They include the Gothic Temple at Stowe, Lord Dunmore's eccentric pineapple pavilion near Stirling, the world's first industrial housing in Derbyshire and an entire fort off Alderney in the Channel Islands.
The longevity of the enterprise delights Christian to this day: "I'm proud that even today, after all this time, people still want to stay in them."

Preliminary Injunction Opinion, Syria Lawsuit
In its ruling on the preliminary injunction, the court helpfully agreed that our request was "a matter of current exigency to the American public":
But do the requests touch on "a matter of current exigency to the American public," and would "delaying a response . . . compromise a significant recognized interest," Al-Fayed, 254 F.3d at 310? Likely, the answer to both questions is yes. Regarding nationwide "exigency": In its requests, submitted the day after the April 6 missile strikes against Syria, Protect Democracy explained that "the President's decision to initiate military action is of the utmost importance to the public," and that "whether the President has the legal authority to launch [such] a military 7 strike" is similarly critical. Pl.'s MPI, Exs. D, E at 2. Few would take issue with these assertions. But as evidence that they were justified, one need look no further than the widespread media attention—including by some of the nation's most prominent news outlets— paid both to the April 6 strike and its legality, as early as the date of Protect Democracy's requests.1 Under the regulations promulgated by both DOD and State, such media coverage is strong evidence of an "urgency to inform" the public. See 32 C.F.R. § 286.8(e)(3) (DOD) ("The existence of numerous articles published on a given subject can be helpful in establishing the requirement that there be an 'urgency to inform' the public on the topic."); 22 C.F.R. § 171.11 (State) (defining "[u]rgently needed information" as being "[o]rdinarily" related to "a breaking news story of general public interest"). There is little doubt, in other words, that "the subject matter of the request[s] [is] central to a pressing issue of the day." Wadelton v. Dep't of State, 941 F. Supp. 2d 120, 123 (D.D.C. 2013).2
The Court also agreed that being involved in the debate over the legality of the strikes "is itself a harm in an open democracy.":
Relatedly, the Court also finds it likely that a significant delay in processing Protect Democracy's requests would "compromise a significant recognized interest." Al-Fayed, 254 F.3d at 310. In particular, if production is unduly delayed, both Protect Democracy and the public at large will be "precluded . . . from obtaining in a timely fashion information vital to the current and ongoing debate surrounding the legality of" a high-profile government action, EPIC I, 416 F. Supp. 2d at 41—namely, military strikes against the Syrian government. Being closed off from such a debate is itself a harm in an open democracy. See Elec. Frontier Found. v. Office of Dir. of Nat. Intelligence, 2007 WL 4208311, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 27, 2007) ("[O]ngoing public and congressional debates about issues of vital national importance cannot be restarted or wound back.") (internal quotations omitted).

Le pucce sono forme di pane e panini aventi diametro di circa 20-30 centimetri facenti parte della tradizione culinaria della Puglia centromeridionale. In particolare tale tradizione è molto diffusa nel Salento e nel tarantino.

Nella sua variante tipicamente leccese, la puccia è farcita con ingredienti poveri, stagionali e tipici della tradizione culinaria locale, quali melanzane, pomodori, peperoni, zucchine, rucola, cicoria selvatica ed una fetta di formaggio.

Nel tarantino la puccia è soprattutto nota nella sua versione fast food, che come nel foggiano utilizza lo stesso impasto della pizza, condito con hamburger, patatine fritte, pomodori e insalata; in alcune la puccia viene condita con uccelletti (scamorza affumicata e prosciutto) o würstel.

Puccia nella tradizione pugliese

Provincia di Lecce

La puccia salentina, nella sua variante tipicamente leccese, nasce per caso negli anni settanta a Trepuzzi, per mano di Giovanni Caccetta, falegname e pasticcere di grande talento. Giovanni ispirandosi a quello che aveva visto fare per anni dalle zie con l'eccesso della pasta del pane, preparava della palline che - schiacciate ed infornate nel forno a legna - davano come risultato un panino gonfio e senza mollica, tutto da farcire. con ingredienti poveri, stagionali, tipici della tradizione culinaria salentina.

La puccia caddhipulina è una variante della puccia e viene preparata nella cittadina di Gallipoli il 7 dicembre, la vigilia della festa per l'Immacolata concezione. Si tratta di una forma di pane con molta mollica che in passato veniva condita con capperi e acciughe sotto sale; successivamente il benessere ha portato ad aggiungere tonno, pomodori, e tanto olio extravergine d'oliva. Tradizione Gallipolina, viene prodotta in vari formati che partono dai 250 gr sino ad un chilogrammo. La tradizione è tuttora molto viva tra gli abitanti della città.

Le uliate sono più piccole ed hanno nell'impasto olive in salamoia. Sono cotte nei forni a legna e sono uno dei prodotti più presenti sulle tavole salentine.

A caprarica di Lecce ogni anno si tiene la festa te la uliata, tre giorni a sostegno di ActionAid Italia e che festeggiano proprio la piccola puccia con le olive nere. E nelle stesse serate si può gareggiare per la  gara dello sputo del nocciolo , sputando il più lontano possibile il nocciolo delle piccole olive nere.

Vengono consumate in occasione della vigilia del giorno dell'Immacolata, tradizione vuole che in questo giorno si faccia digiuno mangiando solo una puccia, in questo modo le donne hanno il tempo di seguire i riti religiosi legati alla festività.

Provincia di Taranto
In provincia di Taranto, soprattutto nella zona orientale, viene chiamata "puccia alla vampa" (alla fiamma) e l'impasto della puccia è di farina di semola. Viene preparato un disco di pasta e infornato, il disco man mano che cuoce aumenta di volume. Il risultato è un disco di pane morbido con pochissima mollica. La tradizione tarantina e salentina la vuole farcita con semi di pomodoro, olio extravergine d'oliva, sale e ricotta forte, oppure con le rape stufate.

A Pulsano e Lizzano è tipica inoltre la preparazione di una focaccia chiamata "puccia alla tajedda" o "Puccia alla spàsa" (puccia in teglia) che ha un ripieno di cipolle, olive, capperi, acciughe salate, pomodori e peperoncino. Pur portando lo stesso nome del disco di pasta, in questo caso la puccia è una focaccia ripiena.

Get to Know Dr. Lowe
Teaching Thoughts
Die Gute Nacht Excerpt from A Musical Bouquet Album
Why did I choose the bassoon? I had no idea what a bassoon was when I was at instrument try-out night in my middle school band program. I wanted to play the English horn and had no urge to play what everyone else was going to play (i.e. flute, sax, trumpet). My band director said, "We don't have an English horn. It's either oboe or bassoon if you want something along that line." I thought the word bassoon sounded cool and said, "okay, I'll play the bassoon." He handed me the heavy, beat-up wooden case, a beginning band book for bassoon, and said, "I have no idea how to teach this. You are on your own." Over twenty years later, here I am as a professional bassoonist.
What was my path to becoming a professional bassoonist? When I was in high school, I loved music, but I also loved meteorology and animals. Yet, I always found myself teaching in band class and playing in every opportunity possible on bassoon. When I went away to college, I started on the path thinking I would become a veterinarian, like my father. But, advanced music study and utterly failing in chemistry class changed that course (fyi: I'm terrible at chemistry...but I'm great at music chemistry, though!); I was much more in love with and committed to music in college. All throughout my collegiate studies, I found myself teaching young bassoonists in the community and performing in every ensemble needing a bassoonist. In orchestras, I loved being in the "hot seat" and lived for solo moments for the bassoon. I just knew that music was the life for me and to deny that would ultimately make me unhappy. At the end of my doctoral studies, I was fortunate to win my first job at a regional university teaching bassoon and a little bit of everything else in music. Since then, I haven't let up and am now teaching bassoon at the University of Florida in Gainesville, my alma mater. How is that for coming full circle?
Is there a musical lineage in my family? Yes! But I grew up thinking I was the only "artsy fartsy" one in my family. When I begged to play the piano at the age of 5, I recall my father asking me "Are you sure you want to play piano? That means you'll have to practice and take lessons..." He was forced to play piano as a kid and hated lessons. Even though my parents did not come from a musical background, they always supported me and found great teachers to guide me on my musical path with bassoon and piano. In college, I found out that my great grandmother and grandfather were musicians (pianist and trombonist/violinist respectively) in the Cleveland Orchestra around the early twentieth century. They apparently "hung out with Rachmaninoff" when he was in town. My great grandmother loved listening to Pavarotti (that love has definitely been passed on to me).
What are some of my favorite orchestral works? In no particular order: Shostakovich 5, 9, and 10, Beethoven 6, Shostakovich's Violin Concerto 1, Sibelius 2, Mahler 2, Scheherazade, Prokofiev 5, Mozart Clarinet Concerto...I could go on and on. These all give me the "feels."
Who are some of my musical inspirations? Singers are a big inspiration to me. Pavarotti, Diana Damrau, Barbara Bonney, Kathleen Battle, Freddie Mercury, Karen Carpenter, Elly Ameling, Dietrich Fischer-Diskau, Philippe Jaroussky, Cecilia Bartoli. As for bassoonists Frank Morelli, Judith Leclair, Milan Turkovic, Sophie Dervaux (to name a few!). Other instrumentalists: Gil Shaham, Albrecht Mayer, Paula Robison, Tessa Lark (to name a few!)

Study: Marketers are clueless on cross-channel measurement
Commucore Consulting > News Blog > Online Marketing News > Study: Marketers are clueless on cross-channel measurement
April 5, 2016 Online Marketing NewsAd Industry Metrics, Analytics, Convergence Analytics, cross channel measurement, Cross-channel, Data, marketing automation, measurement, Origami LogicContent Team
A new study from Origami Logic highlights how much marketers struggle with cross-channel measurement. How can they make data less overwhelming?
In today' digital world, there are endless possibilities for marketers. However, that variety is a double-edged sword, as the lack of limits makes it difficult to measure marketing efforts across channels.
According to new research from Origami Logic, which released its Exploring the Keys to Successful Marketing Measurement and Optimization report this morning, 61 percent of marketers don't think their measurement methods are effective. More than half consider their biggest challenge to be having too many systems that capture and measure signals. Close to 40 percent also struggle with being able to take action based on the results, as well as how long it takes to get those results.
For Kohki Yamaguchi, head of product marketing at Origami Logic, those issues all stem from the same place: being overwhelmed.
Part of it comes from measuring signals – including impressions, conversions, CTR, ROI and cost-per engagement- too infrequently. Only 16 percent of the survey's respondents look at their cross-channel measurements on a daily basis. The largest group – 23.2 percent – measure things on a monthly basis. However, 35.36 percent aspire to measure their cross-channel marketing signals every day.
"The situation is getting worse because the digital marketing space is exponentially increasing in complexity every single year," says Yamaguchi. "There are so many channels and platforms out there sending all these varied signals that marketers are spending huge amounts of time consuming that data, and putting it into reports and spreadsheets."
Within each channel, the number of platforms continues to grow, as well. The majority of marketers have three or fewer signals for most channels, such as display, social and email. However, 31.49 percent track four to six signals on (Read more...) web and 18.78 percent track up to 10 on social. When it comes to mobile and video, nearly 30 percent don't even know how many signals they track.
What can be done about it?
The complexity is compounded by how much time marketers are spending deciphering the various signals and campaign results. More than half of the marketers surveyed spend between two and five hours doing this each week. Yamaguchi doesn't think that's enough.
"The major problem that's causing this signal lag is the fact that collecting all the signals and putting them in Excel is being done manually. We believe that marketers need to automate as much of that as possible," he says.
Alison Lohse, co-founder and chief operating officer at Conversion Logic, agrees that greater automation could help marketers measure their data more effectively. Another tactic they can employ, she adds, is thinking about measurement earlier.
She thinks seeing, and having to comb through, all the data at once is the really overwhelming part. She compares measuring marketing channels to plumbing.
"It's almost like when you move into a house and you have retrofit versus being able to architect fit. How does the information flow?" asks Lohse. "Even if you're wading into the data, instead of solving each individual pipe, it's better to take two steps back and build a schematic."
Looking at your data from two steps back, Lohse points out how important it is to make sure you're measuring the right data. She thinks too many marketers overwhelm themselves by not having enough focus, particularly when it comes to mobile.
"Sometimes data can introduce questions; it's almost like finding a problem you didn't know you had," she says. "Just because something raises a question doesn't mean you should answer it. Think about the marketing question. I think a lot of people struggle with how data serves their business, not how they serve the data."

Sarah-Jane made one simple change to her shopping routine

A mum has shared her tips and tricks to feeding her family-of-four for £2.35 a day.
Yellow sticker shopping , couponing and picking up wonky veg boxes are all good ways to save money on shopping, but Sarah-Jane Cerullo's monthly money-saving plan is definitely another good option.
Sarah-Jane, a teacher who lives with her partner Jack, six month old baby and her mum Jane, has come up with a monthly meal plan to make the most of her £150 food budget.
The plan provides her family with three meals a day for around £72 - which works out at £2.35 a day - with the rest going towards one-off expenses such as Christmas dinner.
Sarah told money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk : "I know how daunting and scary it can be when you don't have much money and need to plan meals and feed a family.
"Previously, my mum did a big shop each week which cost £100. Plus, we'd spend £30 on extra stuff we forgot. This meant we were spending around £500 a month, and my baby wasn't eating solids then."
She added: "We currently benefit from being able to pick and choose from handy store cupboard extras, like tinned foods, that have built up over time.
"We're planning to move out of mum's soon, so I wanted to be sure we could stick to a £150 a month budget without having this as a back-up option.
"We used to do a lot of yellow sticker shops, but our baby goes to bed at around 6:30-7pm, which is usually the time the deals are put out, so we aren't able to do this anymore. This is what led us to start planning our meals in advance and cooking from scratch a lot more.
"Plus, our baby is weaning now, and it can be a struggle to come up with ideas for new dishes for him to try."
After some savvy research, the meal plan was born featuring an itemised shopping list for a month, including ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast options include banana porridge, eggs on toast and frozen fruit smoothies. Lunches range from chicken soup and bacon omelets to sandwiches followed by a piece of fruit.
Dinners that made the cut are: cottage pie with broccoli and carrots; savoury crêpes with bacon, spring onion, mushrooms and cheese; and creamy garlic chicken with sweetcorn, carrot and mash.
Sarah added: "It only took me an hour or two to come up with the plan, as I love using spreadsheets.
"As a starting point I chose some recipes from our favourite cookbooks and I also asked my partner for some suggestions for dishes he likes. Next, I looked at ways of getting multiple meals out of some of one main ingredient. For example, I could use one large chicken for three different meals, such as a roast chicken dinner, followed by soup and enchiladas using the leftovers.
"My partner and I have both been vegetarian in the past, so we want to get the most value out of the meat we're eating rather than buy too much of it.
"I planned it all based on shopping at ASDA, as I find it easy to search the price of each of the items online. However, I think it would work out roughly the same if I were shopping at Lidl or Aldi too."
B&M's 'adorable' £5 item shoppers have fallen in love with
Christmas supermarket opening & closing times: Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl, M&S, Asda, Tesco
Occasionally Sarah adds cleaning products or extra fruit to her shop, which would bump up the cost, but that's where the extra cash pot comes in handy.
Sarah is planning to switch up the meal plan in the future to add more variety.
She said: "I think with the next plan I do I will definitely incorporate some different fruits and breakfast options, as my son is now more open to trying different flavours. Plus, I've recently found ways to get some of the ingredients cheaper. For instance, eggs are only 49p for 15 at Farmfoods so it would be worth a visit if you have one locally.
"I realise the plan may not be to everyone's taste, but I think it's really easy to adapt.
"The best way to start is to think of a few evening meals you like and stretch a main ingredient to use across three dishes – this will really help to bring down the overall cost. As I mentioned, a lot of the chicken dishes are great value for money."

Sukhitha J (ag) wrote: This movie, as an indie, proved why indies are worth your time. A couple journey about finding the perfect place to move to for their new family. A good comedy too, including all the warm and fuzzy feels. A slap across the face of all superstitious, pretentious hippie parents and families. And it's a roadtrip kinda movie, a huge win there. The ending was too perfect, which threw off the perfectness which the movie displayed, as an indie. Believe me, this will make you envy the couple which is in it and so many ways, and yearn for what is there, and make you feel bad about what you already have. So you have been warned. ;)
Jrme V (kr) wrote: Deliciously weird and dense with dark and morbid ambiance, Nightmare Detective raise the average J-Horror movie above the standards (becoming boring fast with all those American remakes!) of long-black-haired ghost. This nasty flick could easily be best compared with the best works of Clive Barker, but, then again, Nightmare Detective is his own beast. Displaying a truly brave theme about suicide and taking it seriously and to some disturbing extremes (after all, suicide is not an easy subject matter), this movie skilfully take the viewer in a strange ride between reality and dreams. What is nice (!) here is the fact that, despite the weirdness of some scenes (we are talking dreams here, remember?) and the desire from the writer to let the viewer search by himself for some answers (especially about character??s motivations), this movie flow nonetheless easily. A less talented and purposeful director would probably have lost entirely its focus for artistic sakes and, at the same time, its audience. But such is not the case here? Mr. Lynch should take notice? An attention to details in set design, a though-provoking scenario, a skilful direction and use of colours and photography as well as a truly haunting soundtrack make this movie a must-watch for those horror aficionados among you and a thinking man??s horror movie anyway. Awesome.

Presidential Proclamation -- National Women's Health Week, 2015
NATIONAL WOMEN'S HEALTH WEEK, 2015
The security of quality, affordable health care should not be a privilege -- it should be a fundamental right for every person, regardless of their sex or gender. Today, the Affordable Care Act is helping to secure this right for women across our Nation. The law is saving money for women and their families, and it is saving lives -- of our mothers, daughters, and sisters -- and helping more women achieve their fullest potential. During National Women's Health Week, we reaffirm the belief that ensuring all women and girls have the opportunity to live full and healthy lives is vital to their success and to the prosperity of our Nation; we celebrate the difference the Affordable Care Act has made for countless women; and we recommit to building on its success because we know that when women succeed, America succeeds.
Over the past year, millions of women have gained the security of knowing their personal and professional goals will not be jeopardized just because they face a health challenge. Because of the Affordable Care Act, women can no longer be charged different premiums than men for the same coverage or be denied insurance based on pre-existing conditions, such as pregnancy or violence-related injuries. The law also requires most insurance plans to cover basic health services, including contraceptive, prenatal, and maternity care. And today, tens of millions of women are benefiting from expanded access to preventive care under the law -- services which can lead to early detection of some of the many health challenges that disproportionately affect women. Because these preventive services -- like screenings for breast cancer, domestic violence, and osteoporosis -- are available without cost sharing, women are not forced to choose between health care necessities and other essential expenses.
The equality that all women deserve is inextricably linked to safeguarding access to preventive services and treatment and eliminating disparities in health outcomes. My Administration is committed to strengthening the Affordable Care Act, and we are striving to reach all those who have yet to enroll and gain access to the crucial services it provides. Every day, we are working to make women's health care more affordable, increase women's access to sexual and reproductive health services, and improve maternal and child health outcomes.
As we celebrate National Women's Health Week, we rededicate ourselves to advancing women's health and building a healthy future for all women and girls across our country. To learn more and to access additional information and resources, Americans can visit www.WomensHealth.gov and www.GirlsHealth.gov.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 10 through May 16, 2015, as National Women's Health Week. I encourage all Americans to celebrate the progress we have made in protecting women's health and to promote awareness, prevention, and educational activities that improve the health of all women.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand fifteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-ninth.


It's funny but as a kid I choose this over Jurassic Park! And when I finally did see JP (on video) I didn't like it as much! Yeah, I was pretty happy with the film, of course I was too young to realise that it really had little to do with the games. Having seen it recently I realise what a sloppy movie it is. It has limited similarities to the games, yet is probably incomprehensible to those who've never played it! Still the film is kinda fun, it has nostalgia value, great sets, and is much preferable to dull contemporary VG movies like "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil".
Why does everyone hate this movie? It's awsome!!!
La wea mala, la cagó.
Cuando salió esta pelicula, estaba super de moda el jueguito Mario Bros, y yo a ojos cerrados arrendé la peli en un video club de mala muerte. El resultado, una película grotezca, que en lo único que le es fiel al juego es en los nombres de los personajes y en los trajes de plomeros picantes... realmente horrible y patética, no entiendo como muchos de quienes comentaron acá arriba mío la encuentran genial.... espero que quienes me procedan no cometan el mismo error de creerse "la muerte" con decir que esta película "la lleva". Es claro que aquí hay cine de culto "MALO", pero MARIO BROS (la película) simplemente no debería estar aquí.
One of the worst video game movies I have ever seen.the only thing it had in common with the game is the name only.The film is an insult to the good name of Mario.I wasted 15 dollers on this crap today aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I saw this movie when I was 10, I thought it was alright, but I was annoyed at how unlike the games it was! I didn't like how nasty and shroom stuff covered the Mushroom Kingdom was! I was rather amazed to see how unpopular it was! I mean, the only thing good Nintendo could say about it was that it was only 88 minutes long! And Hopkins said it was the worst thing he ever did!
I think Nintendo should give it another shot, but be much more faithful to the source material!
THANK YOU I AGREE WITH YOU!
I think this film is great!
All the people who have posted derogatory remarks on this board are ADULTS! This is a PG movie based on a VIDEO GAME, for CHILDREN!
I admit it is very stupid, but it's a far fetched plot (don't most movies have outlandish plots? It's a movie!). There is no way on earth they could have made a film so closely based on those NES games at all. It would have cost millions upon millions and would have been boring: Fat Italian plumber jumps on pipe - fat italian plumber jumps on mushroom - fat italian plumber grows raccoon tail and saves princess. I'm glad this movie had more to offer than that quite frankly. It's a good movie because it is so stupid, but entertaining and I find the costume design, make-up and sets to be really interesting. I think it's a shame this gets so much hate, as there are far worse game-to-movie adaptations and if it hadn't had "Super Mario Bros" slapped on it, I think it would've gone down as a decent Sci-Fi family adventure film.
I`m with you this is a fun movie, one of my faves from childhood.
It says something about a movie when one of the primary images to describe it is just the title screen. I agree the movie generally goes downhill after that scene. I have vague memories of watching this movie as a child. Being one who a substantial amount of my young life was wasted trying to save Daisy I was looking forward to it. Yes, they made a bad movie to hurt me in my tender youth. Favorite part was when they were in the dino-city and some guy is singing about how they don't have any resources. In '93 I was in the 5th grade and even I was scratching my head trying to figure out how a city could exist with no resources, where did food, water, energy, etc. come from. I guess a 5th grader looked deeper into this movie than the director, producer, and writers did.


- Cleared the grass/weeds from the tree circles, and espaliers.
- Mowed / scythed wide tree circles.
- Dug out of several barrow loads of docks before they set seed.
- Tidied the edge of the pond.
- Removed some blanket weed from the pond.
- Created a path to the tap in the wildlife area.
- Created a large pile of green material for composting.
- Topped the gage in preparation for removal later in the year.
- Serviced and sharpened the shears.
- Enjoyed refreshments, celebratory apple cake baked by Jill, and putting the world right around 11.00.
All in all, it was an outstanding morning's work and by 1.30 as we left the Orchard was looking grand.
- Excellent tea, coffee and biscuits organised by Jill and Gill!
- The grass around all of the fruit trees was cut, either by using the petrol mower, or by scythe. This was in preparation for the Town Council mowing, due to take place on Wednesday.
- The old pallets in the wildlife area were broken up; quite a bit of the wood was used for a log pile underneath the hedge in the wildlife area, whilst the remainder was burnt.
- The bog garden was weeded and tidied.
- Grass around the front of the pond was cut, so that the edge is clearly visible.
- The cordons were weeded and some mulch of wood ash applied.
- The gages were tied in, the bed was weeded and a wood ash mulch applied.
- The tree ties were checked for wind rock, and adjusted where necessary.
- Some compost turning and incorporation of newly cut grass.
- Drowning bins were marked with tokens: red to say bin is full, and green to say bin can be used.
The remaining fruit trees were applied with grease to curtail the codling moth.
•	Espaliers and cordons were weeded.
•	A mulch of compost was applied to the espaliers and cordons.
•	The structure for supporting the greengage tree fan was improved: new more substantial posts were knocked in, and new wire supports added. This is now very much more fit for purpose.
•	Two grass paths and the border of the meadow area were picked out with the mower.
•	Pollinator bed and bog garden weeded.
•	Compost in bays was turned and tidied, and drowning bins emptied.
•	Bee enclosure grass was trimmed, particularly in near vicinity of hives, as bee activity was minimal. Also hedges at each end of enclosure were tidied, some lateral growth was trimmed off (height was left as it is) and grass trimmed from amongst the shrubs. Quite a large gap in the hedge nearest the sycamore was filled with some spare shrubs that had been growing near the bug hotel.
•	A hazel was dug up and kept ready for planting at Jubilee Green on Tuesday.
- The pile of prunings from last month's work party were burnt on a very successful (eventually!) bonfire, along with some off-cuts of wood, and what appeared to be part of a dumped shed too.
- The winter pruning of the standard fruit trees. Almost all of these were done. The session went well with a number of new recruits to the tree team; they were given an overview of the task in hand by the team leader, and some were paired off and mentored by more experienced members of the team.
- Two patches of grass were mown, one for the area that will be used for Morris Dancing on Wassailing day, and one for the area to be occupied by a stall selling cider on Wassailing day.


I had a pretty unusual upbringing as I lived in 14 places before I was 12 years old including a stop in Petersburg, Virginia. While I was too young to really notice I guess it was safe to say that my folks were "Adventurers", and during these moves, where we often stayed for less than a year, we took the time to explore some of the areas around us including a short trip to Jamestown which was the first English settlement in the Americas in 1607.
Two personalities are usually associated with Jamestown; John Smith, who is depicted above in a statue at Jamestown, and Pocahontas who supposedly saved Smith's life after he was captured by the Native Americans.
How much of that story is true is up for debate but it's safe to say that things were a bit different in 1607 than what was depicted in the popular '90's Disney movie.
Late in 1606, English colonizers set sail with a charter from the London Company to establish a colony in the New World. The expedition made landfall on April 26, 1607 at a place which they named Cape Henry.
Captain Edward Maria Wingfield was elected president of the governing council on April 25, 1607. On May 14, he selected a piece of land on a large peninsula some 40 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean as a prime location for a fortified settlement. The river channel was a defensible strategic point due to a curve in the river, and it was close to the land, making it navigable and offering enough land for piers or wharves to be built in the future. Perhaps the most favorable fact about the location was that it was not inhabited by nearby Virginia Indian tribes, who regarded the site as too poor and remote for agriculture. The island was swampy and isolated, and it offered limited space, was plagued by mosquitoes, and afforded only brackish tidal river water unsuitable for drinking.
I have to confess that I have bragged about this story many times, but the first President of the first English settlement in America was a Wingfield (one that I share a pretty remarkable likeness too as well). Edward Maria was a soldier, member of Parliament, and I guess the ultimate adventurer. I mean, what type of person leaves the comfort of a good life in England to risk your life by captaining a small sail boat across uncharted waters to a place that no one is even sure exists?
Captain John Smith wrote that from 1602 to 1603 Wingfield was one of the early and prime movers and organizers in "showing great charge and industry" in getting the Virginia Venture moving: he was one of the four incorporators for the London Virginia Company in the Virginia Charter of 1606 and one of its biggest financial backers. He recruited (with his cousin, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold) about forty of the 104 would-be colonists, and was the only shareholder to sail. In the first election in the New World, he was elected by his peers as the President of the governing council for one year beginning 13 May 1607, of what became the first successful, English-speaking colony in the New World at Jamestown, Virginia.
So if you like History, make it to this area of the country as it is fascinating. From Washington DC to the Carolina's you will a treasure trove of things and places to explore.
found that it's really informative. I?m gonna watch out for brussels.

Over a dozen people of different backgrounds, and with a deep knowledge of music and art forms, came together from across Delmarva to serve as the local Musical Programming Advisory Committee. This committee's role is to consider—and help the NCTA select—the artists who will perform at the National Folk Festival each year.

Did you unknowingly hire a criminal that puts your organization at risk?
The most entertaining movies and crime novels describe the idea that to catch a criminal, it helps to think like one. Does the same thought prove valuable when screening potential employees who might harm your organization? Let's take a look at the background check industry and analyze how applicants are able to intentionally hide a criminal background and pass through the pre-employment screening process without an employer finding a hint of derogatory information.
A risky background check program starts with a job application and a background inquiry form that are accepted by the employer at face value. If the basic information used as criteria for the background check is flawed, than the background check will be inaccurate. An employer always has the option of using only the self-reported applicant data from these forms, or taking the precautionary step of running additional checks to confirm the information. Now if I were a three time convicted thief with the name of Allen Smith, I could enter the name Alan Smith on the background inquiry form knowing that criminal records are indexed primarily by the name and date of birth, not the social security number. Did you notice the change in spelling of the first name? The name sounds the same but the second time, the name is spelled differently. Do most employers check to see if there is a difference in the spelling of the name from one form to the next, or compared to what appears on the driver's license? Now take the name Alan Smith and key it into your local county criminal records index. If nothing comes up, then you just might hire this person and put him in your IT department where Allen has access to every credit card number or SSN in your system.
What if Allen Smith failed to disclose on his pre-hire paperwork that he lived in Georgia for six months? Could he be hiding a criminal record that occurred in Georgia? Now let's imagine that we are dealing with his sister, Lisa Smith, who also has a criminal past pertinent to the job for which she is applying. Lisa went to Vegas two years ago, got married and changed her name to Lisa Jones. On her job application and background inquiry form she only discloses Lisa Jones, therefore you only check the name Lisa Jones. Will the background check uncover her criminal records? No. Each different name is a different inquiry on the criminal index. A company that fails to run both names is conducting a less than comprehensive program, filled with gaps and potential risk and liability. There are simple and inexpensive ways to help you identify undisclosed names and addresses to strengthen your criminal background screening program.
Are there other mistakes that could be made in the background screening process? Yes, there are several but this article only addresses two. For more information, contact Dresser & Associates to learn who your direct contact is for background screening consultation.

Rehab es el undécimo álbum de estudio de la banda de heavy metal estadounidense Quiet Riot, publicado el 3 de octubre de 2006. El álbum se aleja del estilo "party-rock" que caracteriza al sonido histórico de la banda y ofrece un estilo un tanto diferente. Es el último álbum de estudio de Quiet Riot publicado antes de la muerte del vocalista Kevin DuBrow, quien murió por una sobredosis de cocaína en noviembre de 2007. El álbum ha recibido críticas mixtas de parte de la prensa especializada y fanáticos.

Lista de canciones
"Free" – 4:06 (DuBrow/Alex Grossi)
"Blind Faith" – 3:25 (DuBrow/Citron/Banali/Hughes)
"South of Heaven" – 5:44 (DuBrow/Michael Lardie)
"Black Reign" – 4:50 (DuBrow)
"Old Habits Die Hard" – 6:17 (DuBrow/Citron/Banali/Hughes)

At approximately 6 a.m. Saturday morning members of the Lower Sackville RCMP and the Halifax Regional Police arrested a 38 year old male on the Magazine Hill Road. The male was a suspect in a break and Enter that had occurred earlier that morning at a sporting goods store on Windmill Road in Dartmouth. After being taken to cells the man was taken to hospital on the advice of EHS personnel. At hospital it was determined that the male had suffered a broken wrist.
As a a result of that injury the matter was referred by police to SiRT who have commenced an investigation into the circumstances of the arrest.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact SiRT toll free at 1-855-450-2010.
The Serious Incident Response Team is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia, which includes allegations of sexual assault. Investigations are under the direction and control of independent civilian director Ron MacDonald.
The Police Act requires the director to file a public report summarizing the results of the investigation within three months after it is finished.

I know that it appears that there have been very few updates lately for Roon Web Controller, but I can assure you, it is not forgotten. It was a very busy summer so I was not able to do much with it, but things are settling down and I am starting work on a complete re-write.
This is where I need your help. I am trying to identify use cases that may affect development.
So how do you use the Roon Web Controller extension?
This is what I already know about - can you confirm that these are still valid? Anything that I am not mentioning?
Older tablet that is too old to run the official client - like early generation iPads - What version of IOS are you running? Is IOS 9 still the norm?
I will likely use this as a chance to upgrade the requirement for Nodejs. Currently, this app is written to be compatible with Nodejs 6 LTS (Boron). But Nodejs 6 is scheduled to go end of life in April 2019. Nodejs 8 LTS (Carbon) is going end of life in December of 2019. So I would really like to make Nodejs 10 LTS (Dubnium) a requirement to be able to support possible inclusion of some HTTP/2 features. Is this going to be a problem for your use case?
Is there anything that you are looking for that you would like me to consider?
Can it/ could it be loaded on an Amazon fire stick?
Not sure - can you run Nodejs on a fire stick?
For things like an iPad, the server side (nodejs) runs on a desktop or a VM, and then the iPad accesses it with a web browser.
I would assume you could do the same with a fire stick if it has a web browser.
A key thing for me is not wanting to install the deps on multiple machines and wondered if a docker version was possible?
I already use roon via a linux docker image and it would allow people to spin up your plugin very quickly.
My older iPad 4 is stuck on iOS 10, so any local or remote support for that would be great.
Icing on the cake of my ott wish list would be an electron or other client I could install on arch linux (since there seems a slim to none chance of roon labs actually officially supporting it).
I actually have no experience with docker, so I haven't really looked into it.
It is a possibility though.
As for IOS 10, you should be fine there. I have an IOS 10 iPad that I test with. I am purposely using things that are compatible with IOS 9, but have limited ability to test IOS 9.
I use Arch Linux as well. Since I use a KDE Plasma, I use a small browser using QT web engine to display the client side of this. I can share the code for that if you don't want something as heavy as electron.
There are a couple of dockers out there for your plugin, but the ones I have found were built some months ago, so are likely very out of date.
I use android tbh but have an old iPod stuck on iOS 6 and the Ipad 4 on 10. It would be good to get some more use out of the iPad, so its good it will be supported.
I'm on Gnome 3.30 and gtk3 but do have a couple of kde apps installed, so likely have the libs needed already installed.
Presumably you could do something similar with WebKitGTK+, but I am not a fan of GTK3, so I don't do anything with it. QT webengine is based on the Chrome browser sources, so it also tends to support things better than WebKit based browsers/includes.
Hello @mannp. I just used the docker image for the Roon Extension Manager.
In the extension manager you can choose which extension to install and he has an integrated update mechanism.


Welcome to the forum. Have you asked for your wife to be referred to a speech and language therapist? What age is she? Have there been any medical tests to discover why it developed?
Were you given any explanation for the damage? Was it due to an accident, or stroke, or ...?
That must be tough. Are either of you getting any support at the moment? If you ask Social Services for a Needs Assessment for your wife, and a Carers Assessment for you, they might be able to offer various things to help. It's difficult to be precise, as each area operates slightly differently.
Have you considered claiming Personal Independence Payment? If you are not sure about any aspect of support or benefits, our Carers UK helpline will be able to give good advice. The phone is often busy, as they are good, but if you email them with details, they will definitely email you back within a week.
While I can't help, I can tell you of my experience of the same thing. My Mum was diagnosed with Aphasia after a stroke in 2010, we were told by the SALT team that Mum's speech should slowly recover.
As time went on it never did, generally Mum would hear a word and repeat it over and over again.
Now the important part, which I'm sure you already know. While the average person on the street dismisses my Mum as a loony due to her impediment, I've learnt that when she is talking she has something to say and can't get it across. Sometimes something quite important I've forgotten.
It's usually can you show me and she'll get up and show me or point to something she needs. She understands every word I say but can't reply verbally. It's hard and takes tonnes of patience on both sides, we get frustrated at each other at times when we can't get to the bottom of what Mum wants. But 9 times out of 10 we get there.
There are a variety of communication aids to help people say what they want when they can't speak. Ask Social Services or under the speech and language therapy team. I know they exist but my son doesn't use them. My son with learning difficulties uses a simple version of sign language, called Makaton. Would you wife be able to manage learn this?
Is the problem 'just' with her expressing her thoughts in speech, or with forming those thoughts in the first place?
I ask because if the former, ie, she can think 'perfectly well' but can't get the brain to find a way to speak them, then I wonder whether she can still read? If she can, could you have a pack of flash cards with the most common words on them, and things that apply to your situation, or even simple requests - 'eg 'Please make me a cup of tea', and then she could just fish out the appropriate flash card and hold it up to you?
but of course if the problem is in the cognitive process of thinking and forming thoughts in the first place, that may not be possible.
Sorry if that's a hopeless suggestion!

Q: Cneonction and nnCoection HTTP headers We have often some issues in terms of interoperability on the Web. One of these issues for browsers vendors is the wrongly spelled Connection HTTP header. The most common errors are given by these two forms.
nnCoection:
Cneonction:

There are has been a few articles about this, including Fun with HTTP headers. Often it is happening by period, then disappear. It seems that some of them are created by load balancers such as this example: NetScaler Appliance.
Do you know any other instances of hardware or software that create these issues?
Update Here an example among others of a site which doesn't send back a good Connection HTTP header.
curl -sI ehg-nokiafin.hitbox.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 20:35:45 GMT
Server: Hitbox Gateway 9.3.6-rc1
P3P: policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="NOI DSP LAW NID PSA ADM OUR IND NAV COM"
Cneonction: close
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: max-age=0, private, proxy-revalidate
Expires: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 20:35:46 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 23

update 2011-01-26
On Amazon forum about AWS, there is a thread about nnCoection. A comment says:

FYI, the reason it misspells the word
  connection is so that the internet
  check-sum (a simple sum) still adds
  up, this way the change can occur at
  the packet level. If it completely
  removed the header, it would have to
  stall forwarding the response until
  the header was entirely read, so it
  could rewrite the headers, recompute
  the checksum and then send it along.

with
sum(ord(c) for c in "Connection")

and
sum(ord(c) for c in "nnCoection")

both gives 1040

A: Are you sure it's an actual issue?  The linked article suggests that these sorts of headers are "misspelled on purpose" so that a load balancer, reverse proxy or other middlebox can defeat the server's wishes that the connection be kept alive, without having to track a delta in TCP stream position over the life of the connection.  Something like this may actually be necessary to bring a downed and recovered server back into active duty, by forcing kept-alive connections to other servers to migrate to the one brought online.
If you have a protocol that's dependent on HTTP Connection: keep-alive to function (cough), you're probably doing it wrong.


A foreign company is permitted to establish a project office in India either on a permanent basis or on a temporary basis. This can be done only if the foreign company has secured a contract from an Indian company to execute a project in India.
But before a project office begins its operations in India, it is mandatory for a project office to get registration done with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Registrar of Companies (ROC).
'Project Office' means a place of business to represent the interests of the foreign company executing a project in India but excludes a Liaison Office.
A project office is a temporary or permanent establishment of a foreign company in India. A foreign company can establish a project office in India only if it has secured a contract from an Indian company to execute a project in India.
Who can set up a Project Office?
The project has been cleared by an appropriate authority.
In case the above criteria are not met, the foreign entity has to approach the Reserve Bank of India to get the approval.
What are the conditions to open a Project office in India?
Project Office needs to file an application through an AD Banker to the Reserve Bank of India to get approval for setting up a project office in India.
After getting a secured approval from Reserve Bank of India, the Project Office has to register itself before the register of companies as a foreign company within 30 days of RBI approval.
Project Office has to register itself with the office of Director General of Police of the concerned state, within which the registered project office shall be situated.
What are the permissible debits and credits to the INR account of a Project Office?
The permissible debits to the INR account of a Project Office are restricted to meeting the local expenses of the office or expenses relating to winding up or completion of the project. For such intermittent remittances, the project office has to furnish supporting documents to the AD bank justifying that sufficient provisions have been made by the project office to meet the liabilities in India.
Similarly, the permissible credits to the INR account of a Project Office are restricted to funds received from the head office for meeting the day to day office expenses or receipt of funds under any contract. A project office should not receive any amount other than mentioned above without prior approval of RBI.
What are the permitted activities to the Project office in India?
Foreign companies are permitted to establish a project office in India either on a permanent basis or on a temporary basis in order to execute specific projects. However, such project office cannot carry on any activity other than the activity directly relating to the execution of the project for which it has been established.

Q: How to update an array, by inserting an element at the first position I want to update a document by adding a new element at the first position, in an array.
What I'm actually doing :
val updateRequest = myCollection.findOneAndUpdate(and(equal("site_id", new ObjectId(siteId)),and(equal("image_name", imageName))),
    addToSet("url_history", urlHistory))

The result :
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5e297ea0c7ede90a7ae7586e"),
    "image_name" : "test.jpg",
    "url_history" : [
        {
            "date" : ISODate("2020-02-08T10:43:47.127Z"),
            "url" : "No image url"
        },
        {
            "date" : ISODate("2020-02-11T10:43:47.127Z"),
            "url" : "test.jpg"
        }
    ]
}

The desired result :
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5e297ea0c7ede90a7ae7586e"),
    "image_name" : "test.jpg",
    "url_history" : [
        {
            "date" : ISODate("2020-02-11T10:43:47.127Z"),
            "url" : "test.jpg"
        },
        {
            "date" : ISODate("2020-02-08T10:43:47.127Z"),
            "url" : "No image url"
        }
    ]
}

A: Have you tried the "$position" operator? Take a look https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/position/
Using mongoose would be like this:
const schema = Schema({ nums: [Number] });
const Model = mongoose.model('Test', schema);

const doc = await Model.create({ nums: [3, 4] });
doc.nums.push(5); // Add 5 to the end of the array
await doc.save();

// You can also pass an object with `$each` as the
// first parameter to use MongoDB's `$position`
doc.nums.push({
  $each: [1, 2],
  $position: 0
});
doc.nums; // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

from mongoose docs
And do you really need to insert it in the first position? Maybe is a good idea to preserve the array order and when you fetch its values you can just order by the way you desire, what do you think about it?

A: I finally found a solution !
Here it is :
  val updateRequest = myCollection.findOneAndUpdate(and(equal("site_id", new ObjectId(siteId)),and(equal("image_name", imageName))),
  pushEach("url_history", PushOptions().position(0), urlHistory))

I used the PushOptions.
Hope it helps.

ABOUT the Chesapeake climate action network
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Our mission is to build a diverse movement powerful enough to put our region on the path to climate stability, while using our proximity to the nation's capital to inspire action in neighboring states, regions nationwide, and countries around the world.
We envision an equitable energy future where truly clean sources of power — efficiency, solar and wind — sustain every aspect of our lives, and dirty fossil fuels are phased out; where communities now sacrificed to the fossil fuel industry – from South Baltimore to Southwest Virginia and beyond – have won the freedom to decide where their energy comes from and how it's used; and where we've kept the increase in the global average temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius, protecting the most vulnerable communities in our region and the world from the worst impacts of climate change.
Take it from 350.org founder and this year's BRRRR-tual Polar Bear Plunge keynote speaker, Bill McKibben,
"CCAN is the best regional climate organization I've ever seen, anywhere in the world."
WHAT IS CCAN CURRENTLY UP TO
Maryland: We are focusing on passing a climate stimulus policy that will reinvigorate our economy in 2021 and transition the state off of fossil fuels for good, while also focusing on energy efficiency and job creation. We are continuing to work with other organizations and our grassroots supporters to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure development in the state.
Virginia: We will continue to challenge the construction of the fracked-gas Moutain Valley Pipeline, while also organizing behind a statewide fossil fuel moratorium and the expansion of public transportation infrastructure.
National: We must make our voices heard and let our leaders know that the fossil fuel industry must be held liable for the climate crisis and their climate science denialism over the past half century, which has detrimentally delayed climate action and the transition to clean and renewable energy and infrastructure.

The Sydney Modern Project will transform and expand the Art Gallery of NSW into an inspiring 21st-century art museum for a new generation of visitors. Atelier supports this vision alongside our Atelier patrons Tony Albert, Agatha Gothe-Snape and Ben Quilty.
Atelier is the Gallery's newest Foundation supporter group, attracting a vibrant network of Sydney lovers of art and culture. Atelier supports the Sydney Modern vision by contributing to the commissioning and acquisition of new artwork for the Gallery as well as enabling important community and outreach projects.
Atelier is a fantastic way to become a part of the vibrant Gallery community, meet inspired and like-minded individuals and play a vital role in the future of the Gallery – the Sydney Modern Project is scheduled for completion in 2021 to celebrate the Gallery's 150th anniversary. With five exclusive events each year, Atelier also provides a unique opportunity to further your understanding and enjoyment of art.
Two levels of support are available.
Atelier supporters donate $1000 per year or $250 quarterly.
Foundation-level Atelier supporters commit to a donation of $1800 per year for four years or $450 quarterly.
