WPIX's Marketing Team Creates Documentary Series
Not many local TV marketing departments get the chance to create long-form content like a four-part documentary. But the team at New York's WPIX welcomed the challenge. "I think if you went to most creative services shops in the country, you would find a lot of frustrated filmmakers who would be dying to do something like this," said Heath Benfield, the series creator.
by Paul Greeley February 28, 2019 1:08 GMT+0000
From the station's archives, the WPIX creative services team has created a documentary project titled, Only in New York. This four-part, half-hour series will air Friday nights at 10:30 beginning March 8.
WPIX is Tribune's CW affiliate in New York.
Only in New York chronicles some of the most controversial moments in New York City history, a subway shooting that ignited a racial firestorm, the deadly days of the crack epidemic, a pair of high-profile trials that exposed the hidden horrors of domestic abuse and a rising political star assassinated inside the city's most hallowed halls.
All are retold with rare footage pulled from the WPIX archives and featuring new interviews with WPIX journalists, expert analysts and the headliners at the center of the stories.
Heath Benfield
The idea for the series came from Heath Benfield, WPIX's senior creative producer.
"I think if you went to most creative services shops in the country, you would find a lot of frustrated filmmakers who would be dying to do something like this. I know that is the case for me. So it's just been really a dream come true that I have had the opportunity to do that in the context of local TV news. It's great to work on long form, such a rare opportunity."
David Hyman
"Only in New York is Heath's brainchild and the pitch intrigued me from the moment I heard it. It is a compelling extension of the WPIX brand and reaffirms why we are New York's Very Own," said David Hyman, WPIX's VP of marketing and creative.
Benfield said he spent hours going through tapes and film in the station's archive room looking for specific footage by date, and sometimes finding the unexpected.
"It's been the most enjoyable part of this whole process discovering those lost hidden gems within our archive."
Hyman said Benfield had never been to New York until he was hired at WPIX a couple years ago from Indianapolis.
"The depth of his curiosity about the city and its history is very surprising and exciting."
So how did Benfield find the time to create a four-part documentary in addition to his normal duties in creative services?
"I don't sleep," he joked.
Hyman said he gave Benfield some time for the project because he wants his staff to be free to come up with ideas.
"Creatives want the opportunity to work on a bigger canvass and you have to be sort of stupid not to give it to them if they came to you with a wonderful idea."
NOTE: WPIX has a Facebook page that shares archive stories and footage. There have been several recent Market Share columns about how some stations are digitizing archive footage and/or using archive footage as news segments or franchises:

Quick Bite: Not so special teams allow Oilers to tie series at 1 with Sharks
Can a team choose to only ice four skaters? Asking for a friend. His name is, er, Brodd BcLellan, why?
By Erik Johnsgard@Pellybottoms_Up Apr 14, 2017, 10:21pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Quick Bite: Not so special teams allow Oilers to tie series at 1 with Sharks
The Edmonton Oilers clearly learned very little about avoiding penalties between games one and two of this series, but they learned about the cost of those penalties tonight. Or the lack thereof. The Sharks' power play has to be a topic of concern after game two on Friday night, where the Sharks went -2 for 6, bringing their total for the series to -1 for 12. That's not actually how to count these things, but extreme circumstances call for extreme measurements. It was, how shall I say this delicately, garbage.
It wasn't always this way, as the two teams seemed to skate with each other pretty well through most of the first period. The Sharks looked a little slow, but that's to be expected against this high flying Oilers team. The second period was a completely different, and much sadder, story. The Oilers mounted a constant parade to the penalty box, a strategy that went blissfully unpunished by San Jose. On a cross-checking penalty to Pat Maroon left over from the end of the first, Joe Pavelski mishandled a bobbling puck right to Mark Letestu, who fed it to a streaking Zack Kassian. Kassian had plenty of time to think about what to do with the puck (and the rest of his evening) before wristing it past Jones to make it 1-0 Edmonton at 00:42 of the second.
FIRST BLOOD, BABY! #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/3StPhtHFGb

The rest of the second was a similar comedy of errors, the Oilers out penaltied the Sharks 3-0, out shot the Sharks 12-6, and out hit the Sharks a billion to 2. The Kassian goal seemed to leak some blood into the water for the Oilers, and they pushed hard for the entirety of the second, but Jones stood tall and weathered the storm.
The Sharks came out more composed and a bit more dangerous in the third, but as Edmonton's penalty parade continued unabated, San Jose's power play woes continued, tallying up to 0 for 6 with only 5 shots on net, and allowing 2 shorthanded goals (wait for it), and, what the hell, throw in a power play icing to taste. Finally, and it was really only a matter of time, Connor McDavid got on the board with a shorthanded goal (there it is) at 10:31 of the 3rd. Left wide open on the left wing by a collapsing Sharks power play, McDavid did what McDavid does best, he skated 150 feet in two seconds and went five-hole on Martin Jones.
THE CAPTAIN! #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/qYEuZnQjyj
The Oilers continued to take some serious liberties over the rest of the third, with Kassian and Milan Lucic high sticking hither and thither and Adam Larsson cross checking Tomas Hertl in the face, now that they know they were being rewarded for being shorthanded. San Jose emptied the net with over two minutes left, but a slashing penalty to Brent Burns ended this one prematurely, and mercifully.
FTF Three Stars
Okay, fine. Zack Kassian. I have to go take a shower.
Connor McDavid
Some of that classic T Mac two-centers-on-the-top-line-then-get-thrown-out-of-the-dot-on-purpose-so-the-better-center-can-get-put-in-and-take-the-draw-without-getting-thrown-out strategy, I see. The old TCOTTLTGTOOTDOPSTBCCGPIATTDWGTO.
Marcus Sorensen made some really smart choices through the neutral zone in the first period, which is a shame seeing as either he or Timo Meier, who also played well (considering), will get scratched in game 3 to make room for Michael Haley, a decision I don't actually hate.
Somebody took these refs' penalty books and tore the page with interference on it out of all but one of them. Left the rest of the pages in, though.
Very sad numbers: Sharks were 0 for 6 power plays, were out shot 6-5 in that time, and outscored 2-0. Oof.
The online reaction to Kassian's game was baffling. Did we all forget who Zack Kassian is? Yes, he had a good game, but that was two flying headshots, and if you're wondering which of those players he is, ask Matt Kennedy. Full disclosure, maybe I hold a grudge for too long, but I never really forgave Raffi Torres for his hit on Milan Michalek, and the Oilers' reactions to Kassian despite him liquefying Sam Gagner's face in 2013 seems very similar.
If someone had time traveled and told me the Sharks would split the games in Edmonton, I would have been pretty happy. I am not, however, pretty happy now. Curious.

An essay for you: Why we should all be photography entrepreneurs; and why you might already be a photography entrepreneur without even knowing it!
For me, I don't see entrepreneurship as being something in an ivory tower; only for the select few individuals who are making millions of dollars from their passion in life. Instead, I see an entrepreneur as an individual who is willing to take a personal risk in order to improve the lives of others, and to create value to empower humanity.
Not only that, but entrepreneurship isn't just about starting a business or making money. Rather, it is about making a positive impact in society– regardless of how/where you make money from.
For example, if you have a 9-5 job (or if you're retired and already making money from your savings), you can still be an entrepreneur. Your entrepreneurial desires in photography might not be to make money from your passion in photography, but rather to share your life experiences, your wisdom, and practical tips, strategies in photography that you think can help empower and uplift others!
I also don't think that entrepreneurship needs to be altruistic either. Entrepreneurship can also be self-centered, and self-focused. It can be a state of mind that allows you to empower yourself as a photographer, to take more risks, to put yourself out there, and for you to share ideas which others might not like– but you have a strong and deep conviction in those ideas.
Once again to re-iterate, entrepreneurship is a state of mind. I see entrepreneurship as more about risk-taking, about having faith and confidence in yourself, and having the brazenness/tenacity to share your ideas/concepts/thoughts/services with others.
I believe that society thrives from entrepreneurs — individuals who take a personal risk to change society for the better. I actually believe that if you're trying to make any positive change in society (whether political, social, economic, etc) — you are an entrepreneur. For example I would actually see Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. (two of my heroes) as entrepreneurs– even though their ambition wasn't to obviously make money; but to empower humanity.
I also think that on an individual basis, I love entrepreneurship because it empowers us as the individual: it reminds ourself that we are important, we have ideas/thoughts/opinions which are important, and that we can actually in-fact, "put a dent in the universe" and make a positive change in society/"change the world".
I am the eternal optimist; yet I am still pragmatic in my approach.
Seek to empower just 1 other human being!
Consider, if you create a photo, video, article, blog post, or musical piece that inspires/empowers at least 1 other human being on planet earth — you are in-fact "changing the world!" Why? Because that 1 other individual that you are empowering will also continue to "domino effect" their empowerment with others– whether they continue to empower their friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
Therefore the best way to empower society is to just aim on empowering 1 other human being on planet earth (the chances of you empowering 1 other human being on planet Earth, with 7+ billion people, is nearly 100%).
Publish what you consider 80% "good enough": Often we fall victim to "paralysis by analysis", which means we become paralyzed because we get overwhelmed from over-analyzing all the options, or we feel like it isn't "good enough", because we are afraid that others will negatively judge us (or we are too hard on ourselves). My suggestion is that once again realize; if your thing can empower at least 1 other human being on planet earth, it is worth for you to publish and share it!
Create more value than you capture: This is a concept that I got from Elon Musk: to become a successful photography entrepreneur, create more value than you capture, which means to create more value in your small niche of photography than anyone else out there, and also capture some of the value by changing money for it. Ask yourself, "How much value am I creating for others, and how much am I charging others for it?" For example if you offer an online entrepreneurship photography course for $199 USD and you empower your student to eventually earn $5,000 USD extra money in their lifetime, you've created a plus value of $4800 USD+ to their life!
Realize that empowerment is the key: It is my belief that in today's society, we don't really "need" more money, we don't "need" more material goods, etc. I think deep down inside, all humans desire to create more art, to make a more meaningful impact on planet earth, and also to have more self-confidence in themselves. For example, the reason we get suckered into buying expensive brand named goods (clothes, cars, etc) is because we believe that if we purchase these goods, we will feel more empowered, and we can achieve and do more in our lives. So ask yourself, as a photography entrepreneur, how are you empowering others? This is how you can create the most value.
Realize that one day you will die. Don't you want to spend your life, living your life to the fullest and making the maximum positive impact while you're still alive?
Memento Mori is remembering that you will (and must) die. If you think about death, you realize that you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!
Knowing that you will die, why do you care what the haters or trolls will say? If you know you're gonna die, why do you care what your parents, friends, or other people will say about you?
When you think about death, all your fears of failure fade away. You don't care about the haters. You stay hungry and foolish and seek to put a "dent in the universe".
Be bold, be foolish, and be the change you wish to be in the world.
Unlock your fullest potential with my brand new course, "Ultimate Beginner's Guide To Photography Entrepreneurship," now live on Udemy!

Q: How to achieve data consistency in a newly added microservice? For example, we have microservices with event sourcing.
To achieve data consistency we use the following approach:

*

*A microservice generates an event

*The event is stored in an event store

*The event is published to the subscribed microservices

This approach works fine with microservices that are already in use.
But what if I need to deploy another microservice that needs to synchronize data with the event store?
Obviously, this new microservice missed all the published events.
Is this new microservice supposed to pull events from the event store by itself?

A: Pulling all events from the event store can become costly over time, because the number of events can explode.
To speed up the initialization of a new microservice, you should create snapshots of your application state, from time to time (and store it in some fast-access memory / cache). All the events that are stored after a snapshot, are based on the application state from the snapshot.
In that way, when you deploy a new microservice, it will first load the most recent snapshot, and then apply all the events that were stored after that snapshot, to get up to date with the app state.
You can adjust the frequency on which the snapshots are being made, so that the number of extra-events that need to be loaded, is relatively small.
This is a nice article that you can check out for more details.

Holiday Inn & Suites Makati (HISM) targets business executives as its clients, according to a report by Philippine Star.
"International business travellers make up the bulk of Holiday Inn & Suites Makati's pre-opening sales," said Ms. Maricor Aquino, director of sales and marketing of Holiday Inn & Suites Makati. She said 90 percent of the reservations were done via the hotel's online portal.
Business travellers find the Makati CBD location of the hotel attractive. At the heart of Ayala Centre, with direct access to Glorietta Mall, the 20-story hotel gives guests added options for leisure activities in a secure location.
Fresh from the opening of its flagship hotel in the country, global hotel chain Fairmont Hotels and Resorts is eyeing the development of resort hotels in the Philippines, according to a report by Philippine Star.
The hotel giant is looking at partnering anew with property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) for at least two more hotels in the country. "For the Philippines, I think we can probably do two resort hotels but it can be more. The Philippines has always been a great place for tourism," Ms. Jennifer Fox, president of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, said.
"There are resort opportunities like in Cebu. The Philippines is more than Manila because it has beautiful islands, beaches and natural resources," Raffles Hotel and Resorts president Peter French said.
The 30-story Fairmont Makati offers 280 deluxe rooms and suites. It also houses the Raffles Makati with 237 serviced-living units.
Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corp. plans to develop more resorts as part of a target to offer as many as 4,000 rooms in two years, according to a report by BusinessWorld.
"We have other resort developments being planned and, at some point within this year, we will disclose more details on these," Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts president Jose Emmanuel H. Jalandoni was quoted as saying.
The company has developed El Nido Resorts, an island resort complex in El Nido, Palawan, consisting of the Lagen, Milinoc, Apulit and Pangulasian Island Resorts. "We have just opened Pangulasian. We soft-opened in last quarter of 2012," Mr. Jalandoni said.
Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corp. will open more hotels this year. Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts president Jose Emmanuel H. Jalandoni said the plan is to open a hotel under the Seda brand in Cagayan de Oro City, another Seda in Davao and a Holiday Inn in March.
Seda, formerly Kukun, is Ayala Land's wholly owned boutique hotel brand. After launching Seda Bonifacio Global City in December, AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts said it plans to open Seda hotels in other areas.
The 349-room Holiday Inn and Suites Makati in Ayala Centre, meanwhile, is part of Ayala Land's ongoing five-year redevelopment of Ayala Centre in a bid to transform the five-hectare district into an integrated, mixed-use complex.
Ayala Land now targets to end 2015 with as many as 4,000 rooms in order to cash in on the country's tourism potentials. "We're aiming for 3,000 to 4,000 units (rooms) in the next two years. This is for both hotels and resorts. Some of this we're still planning, and we haven't announced all," Mr. Jalandoni was quoted as saying in a report by BusinessWorld.
Starwood Hotel & Resorts Worldwide, one of the world's biggest operators of high-end business and leisure accommodation plans to open its first hotel in the Philippines in July 2016, marking the Westin brand's re-entry into the Philippine market, according to a report by ABS-CBN.
Westin is Starwood's second largest brand in Asia Pacific region with more than 40 hotels in operation and 20 hotels in the pipeline. Starwood will build the 600-room Westin Manila Bayshore as part of Travellers International Hotel Group's multi-billion-dollar integrated entertainment complex in Manila – Resorts World Bayshore.
Travellers International is a joint venture between property tycoon Andrew Tan's Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI) and Malaysian conglomerate Genting Group.
French designer Philippe Starck and English entrepreneur John Hitchcox have chosen to design a project on Boracay Island, according to a report by Business Insight. Starck and Hitchcox's "yoo" is designing Aqua Boracay, a 144-unit serviced-apartment to be located at Bolabog Beach, on the other side of White Beach.
The development is expected to be the next destination of the island famous for its long stretch of white sand beach.
Aqua Boracay is the first resort residence designed by the yoo design studio in the Philippines. Masterplanned on a 1.6-hectare property fronting Bolabog beach, the project offers a "sanctuary" from the lively D'Mall across the island where much of the island's tourism activities take place.
Aqua Boracay will have a cluster of four-storey, low-density and low-rise building with the 144 units offering one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments with prices starting at P11 million.
Property developer Landco Pacific Corp. has announced the development of its Calatagan property in the province of Batangas where it intends to launch Playa Calatagan Residences and Aquaria, according to a report by Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The Playa Calatagan Residences is the latest seaside condominium within the 74-hectare seaside residential and mixed-use development. The developer will be inviting locators to build boutiques, restaurants and retail stores. Its first tower, called Nautilus, is set to break ground by the fourth quarter of 2013.
The 95-room midrise condominium is designed to be the next-generation beach community, featuring world-class lifestyle amenities. The Aquaria beach resort will be ready for its public soft opening before the end of the year.
Bellevue Bohol has held its grand opening, according to a report by Manila Standard Today. Bellevue Bohol is the first five-star resort in the area. The resort provides a tropical oasis for tourists looking for the ultimate in comfort and luxury.
The Bellevue has 159 luxury suites overlooking the picturesque Doljo Beach. The resort combines contemporary design and tropical lifestyle to create the perfect getaway in Bohol. The Bellevue Resort is tucked away in a sliver of secluded beach at the southwestern tip of Bohol, making it perfect for guests who desire privacy.


Make discipline more inclusive. Discipline, too, can be more focused on healing relationships than punishment. When a child misbehaves, frame it as a poor choice — not evidence that he is a bad kid. Discuss behavior with students by working with them to set classroom norms and having regular meetings about how those norms are working. Help students resolve conflict with one another; there's much more to be learned from conflict resolution than a suspension.

Participant of Startup Competition Raised 300,000$ on Kickstarter
Senstone - a device which automatically converts your voice notes into text and organizes them for easy access. The wearable is shaped as a stylish pendant which makes it easy to wear it on your neck as well as clip to your clothes. The Ukrainian startup launched on Kickstarter on February, 7 and managed to raise over 50,000$ in less than two days. By the end of the campaign, Senstone collected 300,000$ which was 6 times more than the initial expectations.
The team consisting of Lviv and Kyiv developers has been working on the device for nearly two years. IT Arena 2016 became one of the first platforms where the device was presented for public. Senstone was displayed at the Tech Expo on the conference, as well as participated in Startup Competition.
In the interview for Zaxid.Net, the author of the idea Nazar Fedorchuk, stated that the idea first emerged as a reminder button.
"This is how the project began. The main purpose of this button was to capture thoughts expressed aloud – to quickly record and do not forget about a note, reminder or list. It is quite convenient: by simply pushing a button you can record your thoughts which then will be turned into a text" – says Nazar Fedorchuk, the founder of the project.
Recordings are saved as audio files which are later processed into a text. Senstone recognizes 12 languages, including English, Arabic, Chinese and Ukrainian – new languages are being added constantly.
According to Nazar Fedorchuk, the quality of text recognition depends on how close the device is located to the source of the sound and, of course, clarity of language.
"If the sound quality is good, there are no external noises, heavy accents – the sound recognition is around 95%" – says Nazar.
The wearable's battery lasts up to 4 days of autonomous work and the internal hard drive of the device can hold almost two hours of continuous work.
Senstone will be produced abroad, most likely in China. Developers are also planning to create mobile apps for the device – these should be available both for iOS and Android.
Markiyan Matsekh, Co-Founder of the project says:
"Function of the app would be to save the audio recorded by the user as well as the text which this app will translate. Furthermore, it will help to find all the recordings and notes – you could search those by keyword, location or time. Also, our apps will be compatible with other apps, for example, Evernote".
At the moment, Senstone can be purchased on Kickstarter for 100-155$. The cost depends on the pendant casing – it can be made either of aluminum or brass and type of clipping – on hand, clothes or neck. All pendants will have the same functionality.

1 "If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, 'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,' 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
God tests our faith and our minds and hearts through various types of trials. God reproves and disciplines us for our sins. In both cases God does so out of His great love for those whom He calls His children.
God tests us so that we may know the condition of our hearts and the state of our own faith in God and make a choice to persevere with righteousness through hardship and trials (1 Pet 2:20) in total dependence on Him (Prov 3:5-7).
God reproves and disciplines us so that we might learn, by free will choice, to stop our sinful behavior so that we may live and not die (Deut 30:19). God does not take pleasure in the death of anyone (Ezek 18:32). Sin, if not remedied through confession and sincere repentance, leads to spiritual death which includes spiritual bondages.
The fear of the Lord leads to life (Prov 14:27).

These States Almost Legalized Marijuana In 2022
Marijuana reform advanced through multiple state legislatures this year—and voters in two more states voted to legalize adult-use cannabis at the ballot in November. But while there was significant progress for legalization activists in 2022, lawmakers and activists weren't able to get legalization across the finish line everywhere this session.
As a reminder, 2022 marked a year where cannabis policy changes were enacted by legislatures in states are ideologically distinct as Mississippi and Rhode Island. And voters in Maryland and Missouri elected to legalize recreational marijuana during the midterm election
Still, there are a handful of states that came close to ending prohibition—with one chamber of the legislature passing a legalization bill, for example—only to later stall. In other states, reform measures made the ballot and then were rejected by voters. In others, activist-led campaigns didn't end up qualifying for ballot access by established deadlines or were stifled by court challenges.
That said, even with some defeats at the polls this year, advocates are already gearing up for election pushes over the next two years, with the stage set for scheduled or expected legalization votes in states like Oklahoma and Ohio so far. And legislatures where reform bills passed one chamber but not the other are poised to take up the cannabis issue again in 2023.
Here's a look at states that advanced legalization but ultimately failed to enact it this year:
Arkansas voters rejected a marijuana legalization ballot initiative in November. The measure, backed by the Responsible Growth Arkansas campaign, would have created a regulated cannabis market for adults 21 and older.
Polling gradually tightened for the measure, and then abruptly shifted with most voters opposed to the proposal in the latest survey released just before Election Day. That came as more Republican voters seemed to be dropping off amid the opposition campaign.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) and U.S. Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and John Boozman (R-AR) were among those conservative voices that had been vocal in urging people to reject the marijuana measure.
While those politicians took an early stance against the proposal, opposition efforts picked up after the state Supreme Court ruled in September that votes would be counted for Issue 4 following a legal challenge.
Despite the setback, activists are already plotting a revival, with a plan to put a new legalization proposal on the ballot in 2024.
It was a tumultuous ride for marijuana reform in Delaware this year, ultimately culminating in the governor vetoing a non-commercial cannabis legalization bill in May—a decision that was upheld by the House of Representatives the following month.
Rep. Ed Osienski (D) sponsored two marijuana measures: HB 371, which would have legalized possession and gifting of cannabis without a sales component, and HB 372, which would have set up regulations for an adult-use cannabis market if the former legislation passed.
The legislature did send the basic legalization bill to Gov. John Carney (D), while rejecting the complementary measure. But Carney, a rare example of a Democratic governor who is opposed to adult-use legalization despite supermajority support for the policy among voters in his party, nixed it. And the House failed to get enough votes to override the veto.
A Senate-approved bill to legalize marijuana in Hawaii died when it failed to proceed past a House committee by a key deadline.
Even if the measure had advanced through the House, it would have likely faced resistance from outgoing Gov. David Ige (D), who was reluctant to let even a modest decriminalization bill become law. He described it as "a very tough call" and saying he went "back and forth" on the issue before deciding to allow that measure to be enacted.
Action on reform has been largely limited to the Hawaii Senate, where a committee also approved a legalization bill in 2019 that did not advance to a vote in the full chamber.
Another piece of legislation to expand the state's existing decriminalization threshold from three grams to 30 grams of cannabis also failed to advance in the House this session after winning approval in the Senate.
Still, advocates are feeling more optimistic about the prospects of legalization legislation in 2023 given that the incoming Gov.-elect Josh Green (D) backs the policy change.
The Kansas House of Representatives voted to legalized medical cannabis last year, but the Senate failed to follow suit. Legislative leaders formed a bicameral conference committee that was tasked with arriving at a deal that could pass both chambers, but that didn't pan out by the time lawmakers adjourned the two-year session in May.
Democratic lawmakers made a final push to enact medical cannabis legalization before the legislative deadline, but Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee Chairman Robert Olson (R) said in May that the "heavy load" his committee had to carry on other issues meant that lawmakers would not be "getting this measure across the finish line this session."
While advocates had hoped to see reform enacted this year, the legislature's bicameral Legislative Coordinating Council did vote in June to form a dedicated committee to work on medical marijuana issues over the summer in the hopes that reform legislation will be ready to pass when the legislature returns for business early in 2023.
Newly reelected Gov. Laura Kelly (D), for her part, wants to see medical cannabis legalization enacted, and she said earlier this year that she "absolutely" thinks the bill could pass if "everything else doesn't take up all the oxygen."
She previously pushed a separate proposal that would legalize medical cannabis and use the resulting revenue to support Medicaid expansion, with Rep. Brandon Woodard (D) filing the measure on the governor's behalf.
Kelly has she said she wants voters to put pressure on their representatives to get the reform passed.
Marijuana Moment is tracking more than 1,500 cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don't miss any developments.
In Kentucky, the House of Representatives approved a medical marijuana legalization bill in March, but it did not advance through the Senate before the end of the session.
Gov. Andy Beshear (D) later named members to a medical marijuana committee tasked with conducting public hearings on the issue and advise the governor on ways he can advance patient access while the legislature refuses to enact reform.
In April, the governor previewed plans to advance the issue of medical marijuana administratively, criticizing the Senate for failing to heed the will of voters and for "obstructing" reform by refusing to even give a hearing to a House-passed bill this year.
And in November, Beshear signed two marijuana-related executive orders: one to allow patients who meet certain criteria to possess up to eight ounces of medical cannabis legally obtained from dispensaries in other states and another to regulate the sale of delta-8 THC products.
Beshear says he intends to keep up the pressure on lawmakers to get a comprehensive medical cannabis bill to his desk.
A comprehensive reform bill from House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler (D) advanced through 12 committees before passing on the House floor last year, but legalization stalled in the GOP-controlled Senate and was not ultimately enacted by the end of the two-year session.
That said, back in June, Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed a large-scale bill into law that included provisions to provide permanent protections allowing state hemp businesses to legally market certain cannabis products—including foods and beverages infused with CBD and other cannabinoids.
The law makes it so that all hemp-derived cannabinoids including CBD can be legally sold in food items, beverages, topicals and more—as long as the products contain less than the federal limit of 0.3 percent THC. Edible and beverage products must be limited to a total of 5 mg THC per serving and 50 mg per package.
Walz has consistently pushed for legalizing marijuana in a regulated market, including funding for implementation in his budget proposal this year, for example.
The newly reelected governor is already planning for a marijuana legalization victory with Democrats newly in control of the Senate after November's elections, saying it will be "one of the first" bills to pass in 2023, according to former governor Jesse Ventura, who says the incumbent called him to chat about the implications of the election results.
Nebraska lawmakers and advocates worked to put medical cannabis legalization on the ballot this year, but they fell short of the required signatures.
Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana (NMM) faced a number of complications during their signature drive, including the loss of critical funding.
The campaign also faced resistance from Gov. Pete Ricketts (R), a staunch opponent of legalization. Late last year, he partnered with the prohibitionist group SAM Nebraska on an ad urging residents to oppose cannabis reform in the state.
NMM's Crista Eggers has since said that the campaign will consider pivoting to adult-use legalization for the 2024 ballot, which could attract more deep-pocketed donors to help them cross the finish line.
Lawmakers attempted to advance medical cannabis reform legislatively last year, but while the unicameral legislature debated a bill to legalize medical marijuana in May, it failed to advance past a filibuster because the body didn't have enough votes to overcome it.
In April, the New Hampshire Senate rejected two House-passed bills that would have legalized marijuana: one to simply allow possession and home cultivation for adults without a sales component and another to create a state-run cannabis market.
In an attempt to revive the reform, the House included legalization language as an amendment to separate criminal justice-related legislation—but that was also struck down in the Senate the following month.
The non-commercial legalization measure that was defeated had previously passed the House under Democratic control in 2020 but was defeated in the Senate at the committee stage.
Three lawmakers—Reps. Joshua Adjutant (D), Renny Cushing (D) and Andrew Prout (R)—each filed separate bills to put marijuana legalization on the state's 2022 ballot. But the House defeated Prout's proposed constitutional amendment and voted to table the two other measures.
Gov. Chris Sununu (R), who has consistently said the state is not ready to enact legalization, was reelected in November, presenting an ongoing challenge for activists who wish to enact reform in the Granite State.
A Senate-passed bill to legalize medical marijuana in North Carolina died earlier this session, with House Republican lawmakers ultimately deciding not to allow it to advance further following an internal caucus vote in June.
The legislation from Sen. Bill Rabon (R) cleared the Senate earlier in June in a strongly bipartisan vote. But questions were quickly raised about its prospects in the House, where GOP leadership had been consistently signaling that they were reluctant to move the legislation this year.
Rabon's NC Compassionate Care Act had advanced through four Senate committees before finally reaching the floor. The momentum seemed to bode well for reform, but GOP members reportedly conferenced internally, choosing not to give the bill a committee hearing in the House as the deadline for the legislative session quickly approaches.
House Speaker Tim Moore (R) was among those key lawmakers who downplayed the idea of enacting the legislation this year, saying recently that "there are a lot of concerns with this bill."
A task force convened by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) backed decriminalization as part of a series of policy recommendations on racial equity that were released in 2020. The group also said prior cannabis convictions should be expunged and the state should consider whether to more broadly legalize marijuana.
North Dakota voters rejected a ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in November.
The loss for activists follows the defeat of an earlier cannabis legalization measure in 2018. New Approach ND turned in signatures for the legalization measure in July, and Secretary of State Al Jaeger (R) officially certified the initiative the following month.
The legalization initiative was similar to a bill that was introduced in the legislature in 2021. The proposal from Rep. Jason Dockter (R) passed the House, but it was defeated in the full Senate after advancing out of committee there.
Following that defeat, some senators devised a new plan to advance the issue by referring it to voters on the 2022 ballot. The resolution moved through a key committee last year, but the Senate also blocked it.
An activist-led campaign to put marijuana legalization on Ohio's November ballot announced in May that it would not be able to qualify for this November's ballot. But advocates did reach a settlement with state officials in a legal challenge that will give them a chance to hit the ground running in 2023.
The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol (CTRMLA) filed a lawsuit in April seeking declaratory judgement amid concerns that they might be challenged over the timing of the group's initial signature submission for the reform measure.
But while activists had hoped the court would grant relief to enable them to collect additional signatures for ballot placement this year, they instead reached a compromise with the secretary of state and legislative leaders that puts them on a path to bring the reform measure before voters in 2023.
A pair of Ohio Democratic lawmakers separately filed a bill to legalize marijuana in April that directly mirrors the proposed initiative that activists had pursued, but it did not advance in the legislature.
A GOP legislator who sponsored a different bill to tax and regulate cannabis tempered expectations this year about the chances for legislative reform, signaling that the issue will likely have to be decided by voters.
Meanwhile, Ohio voters in five cities approved local marijuana decriminalization ballot initiatives in November, adding to the groundswell of local reform in the state.
Activists worked to put marijuana legalization on Oklahoma's ballot this year, but the measure faced a series of legal challenges and ultimately did not secure placement after a Supreme Court ruling in September.
However, after justices dismissed two of the legal challenges to the ballot title, that cleared the ballot measure's path to a vote during the state's next election.
Accordingly, Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) issued a proclamation in October stipulating that the initiative from Oklahomans for Sensible Marijuana Laws (OSML) and Yes on 820 will go before voters during a special election on March 7, 2023.
State Rep. Scott Fetgatter (R) said in an op-ed for Marijuana Moment that was published in March that states should legalize cannabis, but he wants to see the legislature craft thoughtful regulations for an adult-use program, rather than leave it to voters at the ballot.
A bill to legalize marijuana in South Carolina passed the state Senate along largely bipartisan lines earlier this year, but it was killed in the House following a procedural challenge.
The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Tom Davis (R), did not receive any debate on merits in the House; rather, it was quashed over an issue related to the constitutionality of the legislative process that the measure moved through.
An effort by Davis to resurrect the medical cannabis legalization legislation also proved unsuccessful in May. The senator's move to add the main provisions of his bill to legalize medical marijuana to largely unrelated legislation was ruled not germane by Senate leadership.
Marijuana reform also played a role in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, which saw incumbent Gov. Henry McMaster (R) retain his seat over challenger Joe Cunningham, a former Democratic congressman. McMaster attempted to dissuade voters from electing Cunningham, in part because of his opponent's support for marijuana legalization.
Previously, Cunningham was unseated in his congressional reelection race in 2020 by now-Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who strongly supports cannabis legalization and introduced a bill to end federal prohibition last year.
In a recent interview with Marijuana Moment, Mace weighed in on South Carolina cannabis policy, saying "it's time for our state and move forward" with medical marijuana legalization and that the "vast majority of South Carolinians" back the reform.
South Dakota voters rejected a ballot measure to legalize marijuana in November. And while a bill to enact the reform passed the Senate in February, it did not advance through the House.
Voters in the state had passed an earlier 2020 reform measure, but it was ultimately overturned by the courts.
Following the court ruling that invalidated the earlier ballot box win, activists decided to take a two-track approach to the policy change in 2022, both working with legislators for a legislative reform while separately collecting signatures for the ballot initiative if lawmakers failed to act.
While they would have preferred lawmakers to enact the policy change, that did not materialize this session. The House rejected a Senate-passed legalization bill in March, effectively leaving it up to activists to get on the ballot again.
Looking ahead, advocates say they aren't giving up and plan to put legalization on the ballot yet again in 2024.
A bill to legalize possession of psychedelics in California was approved by the California Senate over the summer, but it stalled out in the Assembly and was ultimately pulled by the sponsor, Sen. Scott Weiner (D).
The measure, SB 519, went through the wringer before Weiner finally decided to cut it loose. In the Assembly, it advanced through two committees before reaching what many had hoped would be its final stop before the floor.
To advocates' disappointment, however, the measure was effectively gutted in the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The main provisions that would have legalized possession of limited amounts of psychedelics like psilocybin and ibogaine were eliminated.
What was left, before Wiener ultimately shelved the proposal, simply mandated study that would look at the impacts of potential future reform.
The senator told Marijuana Moment late last year that he felt the far-reaching measure had a "50/50" chance of being enacted into law in 2022. Looking ahead, he has pledged to try again in 2023.

Q: Having trouble retrieving value from tableview I'm having having trouble getting a correct output from tableview. I'm using a button to set one item from tableview to a label. However, it prints "StringProperty [Value pineapples]" where I would like it to be just "pineapples".
The tableview gives them correctly.
public class ProductListController implements Initializable {

@FXML public TableView<Model> tableview ;

  assert tableview !=null : " ";
         ProductID.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductIDProperty());
         ProductName.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductNameProperty());
         ProductPrice.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductPriceProperty());

            buildData();
    }

     data.add(mod);
     }
     tableview.setItems(data);

     }
    catch ( SQLException err) {
    System.out.println(err.getMessage() );
    }
   }

//Button to fetch data from Tableview. Sets the data not the way I want.

         stage.setScene(scene);
         stage.show();

     }
     catch(IOException e){
     }
}

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {

    }

}

Model
public class Model {

    public SimpleIntegerProperty ProductID = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
    public SimpleStringProperty ProductName = new SimpleStringProperty ();
    public SimpleIntegerProperty ProductPrice = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
    private final SimpleBooleanProperty Checked = new SimpleBooleanProperty(false);

    public SimpleBooleanProperty checkedProperty() {
        return this.Checked;
    }

    public java.lang.Boolean getChecked() {
        return this.checkedProperty().get();
    }

    public void setChecked(final java.lang.Boolean checked) {
        this.checkedProperty().set(checked);
    }

    public SimpleIntegerProperty getProductID() {
        return ProductID;
    }

    public SimpleStringProperty getProductName() {
        return ProductName;
    }

    public SimpleIntegerProperty getProductPrice() {
        return ProductPrice;
    }

A: Since getProductName() returns a SimpleStringProperty, you need to retrieve the String from it using the get(). Just use :
String prd = model.getProductName().get();

A: Your model is implemented incorrectly. You should use the following pattern:
public class Model {

    private SimpleStringProperty productName = new SimpleStringProperty();

    public SimpleStringProperty productNameProperty() {
        return productName ;
    }

    public final String getProductName() {
        return productNameProperty().get();
    }

    public final void setProductName(String productName) {
        productNameProperty().set(productName);
    }

}

and similarly for the other properties.
If you use the e(fx)clipse plugin, you can generate the methods automatically from the property definition by right-clicking, choosing "Source" and then "Generate JavaFX Getters and Setters". I think NetBeans has similar functionality.

Our capacity building projects focus on collaborative and sustainable paediatric health workforce training and education programs; with emphasis on health systems strengthening for specific newborn, child and adolescent health issues where there is a match between identified need and skills and SickKids' expertise.
The criteria for our projects include impact, reach, sustainability, local ownership, efficacy and scalability.
Experienced clinical and project management teams drive current initiatives in Africa, the Caribbean and online.
Capacity building in Africa
SickKids-Ghana Paediatric Nursing Education Partnership (PNEP)
The SickKids-Ghana Paediatric Nursing Education Partnership (PNEP) trains knowledgeable, confident and clinically skilled paediatric nurses. PNEP contributes to reducing preventable deaths and improving wellbeing for newborns and children in Ghana, while advancing child health and the profession of nursing in Ghana through practice-focused paediatric nursing education.
Since 2010, SickKids and health systems partners in Ghana have welcomed funding from the Government of Canada and SickKids Foundation to deliver specialized paediatric nursing education at the post-basic level through a one-year training program. PNEP's goal is to follow the Ghanaian-led vision of training 1,500 nurses by 2025.
Between 2010 and 2014, over 220 paediatric nurses were trained through a partnership with the University of Ghana, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana, Ministry of Health, Ghana and the Ghana Health Service.
To learn more about the work done between 2010 and 2014 visit the Journal of Nursing Education and Practice article "Impact and sustainability of an accredited paediatric nursing training programme in Ghana".
Between 2015 and 2020, SickKids partnered with the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives (GCNM), the Ministry of Health, Ghana and Ghana Health Services to continue and expand the program to ensure capacity, infrastructure and human capital remained sustainable. During this time, 501 additional paediatric nurses were trained by nurse educators in Ghana. Additionally, over 1,200 health workers from all 16 of Ghana's regions were trained through Continuing Professional Development sessions focused on newborn care, sickle cell disease and nutrition. GCNM continues to operate the program in Ghana and is advancing specialty nursing education across the country.
For more details, read the 2020 PNEP Newsletter and the BMC Nursing article on PNEP entitled "Scaling up pediatric nurse specialist education in Ghana – a longitudinal, mixed methods evaluation".
Nursing as a vehicle for improving child health: A SickKids-Ghana Partnership
The SickKids-Ghana Paediatric Nursing Education Partnership (PNEP) is helping scale up paediatric nursing education across Ghana and ultimately improving health outcomes for children.
PNEP COVID-19 Response program
In 2021, the SickKids-Ghana Paediatric Nursing Education Partnership started the COVID-19 Response program in partnership with the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives, Ghana Health Service and Ministry of Health, Ghana. The COVID-19 response program focuses on strengthening health workers' preparedness, increasing knowledge and addressing misinformation through community engagement. The program focuses on pregnant women and young girls while promoting best practices related to COVID-19 across Ghana. The four pillars of the COVID-19 Response program are:
COVID-19 Continuing Professional Development courses
Strengthening COVID-19 content in existing GCNM programmes
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) procurement
COVID-19 outreach and community engagement
SickKids-Ghana Paediatric Nursing Education Partnership extended to support Ghana's COVID-19 response
SickKids is working together with the Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives, Ghana Health Service and Ghana Ministry of Health to assist their response to COVID-19.
Newborn Screening Program for Sickle Cell Disease in Ghana
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic diseases worldwide. In Ghana, about one in every 50 children is born with SCD, and more than half die before the age of five. These deaths can be avoided through simple, cost-effect interventions such as newborn screening, parental education and prevention of pneumococcal (by penicillin prophylaxis and pneumococcal vaccination) and malaria infections, which are essential and needed throughout areas where SCD is prevalent.
Aligning with the Ghana Ministry of Health's 2010 Policy to implement newborn screening for SCD nationwide, we've partnered with Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) to implement a SCD newborn screening program at KBTH - Ghana's largest public hospital.
The program is designed to identify SCD-positive babies as early as possible and provide them with the treatment they need to reduce illness and death. The program is charting progress, collecting data on screening and treatment, and will serve as a model for other centres across sub-Saharan Africa.
Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana
Ghana Health Service
Sickle Cell Foundation of Ghana
Build capacity within KBTH to screen and treat all children with SCD
Screen approximately 11,000 newborns at KBTH each year, plus an additional 12,500 through community expansion in 2020-2021
Follow babies identified as SCD-positive through regular clinic visits at KBTH
Collect patient data and maintain a patient registry
Ensure all patients have access to medication and treatment
Apply learnings to inform newborn screening programs beyond the hospital
We also leverage the Global Sickle Cell Disease Network  to share our learnings with the global SCD community.
In-Service Nutrition Training in East Africa
Frontline workers (health facility and community health workers) play a critical role in identifying and addressing nutrition-related health issues. In both clinical nutrition practice and public health, the need for health practitioners to perform effectively, efficiently and sustainably requires access to comprehensive and practical educational resources.
In response to the identified gaps in nutrition training in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), we partnered with academic centres in LMICs to develop comprehensive in-service nutrition training packages for frontline workers.
Building on the SickKids Public Health Nutrition Course curriculum, the training combined theory and practicum-based learning focused on applied nutrition and skills development. The curriculum also ensures that frontline workers in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are equipped with adequate knowledge to meet the relevant nutritional needs of the populations they are serving.
Partner: East, Central and South African Health Community (ECSA)
Peer Learning Platform for Health Workers to Improve Child Nutrition in Rwanda
In response to the identified gap in globally accessible capacity building tools for nutrition practitioners working in remote, low-middle income countries, we partnered with the Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA) to develop an online, Peer Learning Platform (PLP) accessible on mobile devices.
Under the umbrella of ADRA's EMBRACE project, we took on a consultant role and provided content expertise for the PLP while leveraging the assets from the SickKids Online Public Health Nutrition Course, as well as the In-Service Nutrition Training curriculum developed for the East, Central and South Africa Health Community. We assisted in adapting these assets to the Rwandan context and ensuring the PLP is interactive and user-friendly.
The PLP was developed for use in the Nyabihu district of Rwanda by formally trained health facility-based workers.
Partners: Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA); Chalkboard Education
Specialized Newborn Care Education (SNCE)
Specialized Newborn Care Education (SNCE) was launched in partnership with Amref Health Africa, as part of the Canada-Africa Initiative to Address Maternal, Newborn and Child Mortality, a program implemented by a consortium of Canadian organizations in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Tanzania from March 2016 to March 2020, funded by Global Affairs Canada.
Development of a specialized newborn care education module delivered in collaboration with Amref Health Africa to nurses, midwives, doctors, clinical officers and other health workers in Ethiopia and Malawi and development of an essential newborn care education model delivered in Tanzania to meet the local priority.
183 participants trained including 68 health workers in Malawi, 45 in Tanzania and 70 in Ethiopia. Of the participants in Tanzania, 15 were trained in Specialized Newborn Care and 30 received Essential Newborn Care training.
An evaluation of the three Malawi deliveries was completed in 2018 in order to assess the retention of knowledge, confidence and skills after specialized neonatal care training, and to provide refresher training.
Capacity building in the Caribbean
SickKids-Caribbean Initiative (SCI)
SCI is a not-for-profit collaboration between the Centre for Global Child Health and seven Caribbean institutions across six countries that strive to improve the outcomes and quality of life for children with cancer and blood disorders.
Since 2013, healthcare specialists at SickKids in Toronto and their counterparts in the Caribbean have been working together to support the early identification and treatment of children living with cancer and blood disorders in the Caribbean.
SickKids is working in partnership with the University of the West Indies (UWI), Ministries of Health and key hospitals and institutions from the six participating Caribbean countries: The Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago.
Building sustainable, local capacity to diagnose, treat and manage paediatric cancers and blood disorders in the region through:
Providing training and education in the areas of haematology/oncology, nursing, and laboratory services based on expressed needs of Caribbean partners
Establishing best practices and improving health outcomes through the development and maintenance of local hospital-based paediatric oncology databases and treatment protocols adapted for local use
Establishing an integrated and sustainable communication structure to promote education between local partners and SickKids, creating and enhancing a regional community of practice
Improved access to services for children with cancer and blood disorders in the Caribbean

EBCO strongly condemns the persecution of Greek conscientious objector Nikos Krontiras
EBCO urges Greece to immediately drop all the charges against Greek conscientious objector Nikos Κrontiras and urgently comply with its human rights obligations. This case is another example of the violation of fundamental human rights in Greece and the increasing persecution of Greek conscientious objectors by the military authorities.
46-year-old Nikos Κrontiras, a civilian, is called to appear before a military court on 14 November 2013 charged with "insubordination" (draft evasion) for the period 1987-2011, even though he is now over the age for military service. Nikos Krontiras is a total objector who refused to serve in the armed forces on ideological grounds in 1996, at a time when the right to conscientious objection was still not recognised in Greece.
On behalf of the European Bureau for Conscientious Objection Menelaos Exioglou will testify in defence of Nikos Κrontiras at the Military Court in Thessaloniki.
"We are shocked to observe that Greek conscientious objectors are anew confronted with a wave of systematic persecution by military authorities. This unacceptable treatment of conscientious objectors in Greece continues to be in violation of international human rights standards and the political guidelines of the European Union. It is particularly distressing that this should be happening just as Greece is about to assume the presidency of the European Union, which has hitherto played such a positive role in the international campaign for the full recognition of the right of conscientious objection to military service.", Friedhelm Schneider, EBCO's President stated today.
EBCO notes that the European Court of Human Rights has explicitly recognised that the right to conscientious objection to military service is protected by the Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, on freedom of thought, conscience and religion (case of Bayatyan v. Armenia, application no. 23459/03, decision 01/06/2011).
Furthermore, a conscientious objector, like any other civilian, should never be tried by a military court. This was explicitly ruled by the European Court of Human Rights: it represents a violation of the right to a fair trial (Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights) (case of Erçep v. Turkey, application no. 43965/04, judgement 22/11/2011 and case of Feti Demirtaş v. Turkey, application no. 5260/07, judgment 17/01/2012, where the principle of not trying a civilian before a military court was extended to the situation of a person who had been incorporated in the military against his will).
Details of the unacceptable treatment of conscientious objectors in Greece are documented in the recently published annual report of EBCO, entitled "Conscientious objection to military service in Europe 2013". At present no Greek conscientious objector is imprisoned, although the threat is there, but the repeated call-ups and prosecutions for their continued refusal of military service on grounds of conscience are not in accordance with international standards, and the financial penalties suffered are a considerable burden.

Q: C# How to re-run code in form load for my program i'm writing i want to ask for a name and if the input has a number or other unwanted input to loop back and do it again.
This is my current code
private void gameForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string value = "Type here";
    if (globalVariables.InputBox("Name", "Please enter name", ref value) == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        name = value;
        if (name.All(char.IsLetter))
        {
            lblName.Text = value;
        }
        else
        {
        }
    }
}

How can i re-run this code if invalid input is present?

A: Create a new method  public void NameCheck()"Then put the code you want to run in there"
Then in you're page load you put NameCheck(); to call the method.
So if the name contains numbers you call the NameCheck(); again in the else.
    public void NameCheck()
    {
        string value = "Type here";
        if (globalVariables.InputBox("Name", "Please enter name", ref value) == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            name = value;
            if (name.All(char.IsLetter))
            {
                lblName.Text = value;
            }
            else
            {
                NameCheck();
            }
        }
    }

    private void gameForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        NameCheck();
    }

A: you can use a while loop
while(true)
{
   if (globalVariables.InputBox("Name", "Please enter name", ref value) == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        name = value;
        if (name.All(char.IsLetter))
        {
            lblName.Text = value;
            break;
        }
    }
}

A:     private void gameForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        reAsk:
        string value = "Type here";
        if (globalVariables.InputBox("Name", "Please enter name", ref value) == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            name = value;
            if (name.All(char.IsLetter))
            {
                lblName.Text = value;
            }
            else
            {
                goto reAsk;
            }
        }
    }

Q: What is the line of reflection of this 3x3 matrix? I'm having a difficulty in determining the line of reflection of the following matrix:
\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0\\0&\frac12&\frac {\sqrt{3}}2\\0&\frac {\sqrt{3}}2&-\frac 12\end{bmatrix}
I can see that the x-component of a 3-dimensional vector remains unchanged after the linear transformation. I also noticed that the lower right block is a reflection matrix.
I would be able to find the line of reflection of a 2x2 matrix, but I have no idea how to take account of the x-component in a 3x3 matrix. How do I describe this matrix geometrically?

A: In this case, it'll be a plane of reflection.  If you consider restricting the transformation to just the $yz$-plane and subsequently work with just the lower right hand $2 \times 2$ matrix, you can find the line of reflection in the $yz$-plane (as you would with any ordinary $2 \times 2$ matrix).  The plane of reflection for the whole transformation in $\mathbb{R}^3$ will be this line together with the $x$-coordinate allowed to vary freely (i.e. the plane orthogonal to the $yz$-plane that cuts through that line).


The department has funded The Richard Ely Distinguished Lecture Series since 1998. For a two-week period once a year, the department invites a highly distinguished scholar to provide a series of lectures on an important development in economics. The series is named in honor of Richard Ely, who was a professor of political economy at Johns Hopkins from 1881 to 1892. Ely was the most widely known economist in the United States around the turn of the 20th century and was instrumental in the early development of the American Economic Association (AEA). He is honored each year with a Distinguished Lecture at the AEA Meetings and at Johns Hopkins University with the Ely Lecture Series.

How to Survive a FEMA Occupation
You've worked hard and spent a lot of money in preparing for a SHTF situation, but what if it were all suddenly taken away by the government so they could give it to the unprepared masses? It's an infuriating and completely unfair situation to think about, but it could happen.
A lot of preppers are worried about a government organization called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA's official purpose is to provide aid and disaster management during times of crisis, such as during a hurricane. One of its major responsibilities is distributing food to the public.
This seems pretty justified on the surface, but it pays to be skeptical when dealing with the government. As far as I'm concerned, along with many other preppers, nothing good can happen when the government wants to "help" you.
In reality, it's entirely possible that armed FEMA officials will knock on your door and redistribute your supplies at gunpoint to everyone else who didn't bother to prepare.
I'm going to break down how the most likely FEMA takeover scenario will play out and offer some advice on surviving a FEMA occupation.
What FEMA Will Likely Do
To prepare for a FEMA occupation, we need at least a basic understanding of what will likely happen. FEMA's purpose is to provide relief during disasters. The question is, how will they do that?
FEMA will provide resources to a lot of people, especially in large metropolitan areas. To do that, they need a lot of resources and a way to transport them quickly.
The most efficient way for them to do that is to use their own reserves. However, no one knows how large their reserves really are, and they'll likely run out very quickly.
At this point they'll need to get supplies from elsewhere. FEMA thinks on a large scale, so they won't come after individuals at first. But immediately after their reserves run out, they'll probably confiscate food from food production factories and farms because that's the quickest way to get a lot of food.
Once that runs out, they'll move on to the next largest targets, such as local supermarkets and grocery stores. But in a crisis, stores will already be nearly cleaned out, so FEMA won't get much from them.
After they've exhausted all their large-scale options, they'll finally come after individual citizens who have resources…meaning you!
How to Protect Yourself from FEMA
What should a prepper do when disaster strikes and FEMA moves in? Of course, the answer is …be prepared ahead of time!
FEMA wants to assist as many people as possible, so that means they'll operate most heavily in major cities, so the first thing to do is to stay outside of major cities, or at the very least quickly get out of the city as soon as possible.
FEMA has less support in low population areas. They'll send people to rural areas to transport food from farms, but they won't be interested in your relatively small stockpiles at that point.
Not everyone can live in a rural area all the time, so here's another important tip: Don't let anyone know that you stockpile anything!
Announcing that you're a prepper not only makes people wary of you, it also puts you on FEMA's radar. Keep a low profile on your prepping. The fewer people know about it, the better.
Consider hiding your stockpiles as much as you can. If FEMA shows up at your door, act like just another unprepared person, scared, helpless and confused. They'll probably assume you don't have anything and move on.
The Bigger Threat
My advice on surviving a FEMA occupation is purely theoretical because FEMA has never actually done anything to this extreme to interfere with the rights and resources of average citizens, as far as I'm aware (leave a comment if I'm wrong!).
While you should be prepared for a FEMA occupation, I believe that there are similar, more local threats that are more likely to happen that you should prepare for.
Rather than FEMA coming to confiscate your stockpile, what if it's a band of looters or a hungry mob of people? The result is the same: Your stuff gets stolen.
I cannot stress enough the importance of not telling anyone about your prepping. The person stealing your stuff isn't necessarily a FEMA official. It could be your next-door neighbor or someone at work who's desperate and knows you have supplies.
Do you think I left out anything important? Let me know how you're preparing to deal with FEMA and other looters during a SHTF scenario in the comments section below.

System functions provide access to information in the Teiid system from within a query.
Retrieve a string from the command payload or null if no command payload was specified. The command payload is set by the TeiidStatement.setPayload method on the Teiid JDBC API extensions on a per-query basis.
If the key parameter is provided, the command payload object is cast to a java.util.Properties object and the corresponding property value for the key is returned. If the key is not specified the return value is the command payload object toString value.
Retrieve a system property. This function was misnamed and is for legacy compatibility, see ENV_VAR and SYS_PROP for more appropriately named functions.
call using ENV('KEY'), which returns value as string. Ex: ENV('PATH'). If a value is not found with the key passed in, a lower cased version of the key is tried as well. This function is treated as deterministic, even though it is possible to set system properties at runtime.
call using ENV_VAR('KEY'), which returns value as string. Ex: ENV_VAR('USER'). The behavior of this function is platform dependent with respect to case-sensitivity. This function is treated as deterministic, even though it is possible for environment variables to change at runtime.
call using SYS_PROP('KEY'), which returns value as string. Ex: SYS_PROP('USER'). This function is treated as deterministic, even though it is possible for system properties to change at runtime.
Retrieve the node id - typically the System property value for "jboss.node.name" which will not be set for Teiid embedded.
Retrieve the string form of the current session id.
Retrieve the name of the user executing the query.
includeSecurityDomain is a boolean. return value is string.
If includeSecurityDomain is omitted or true, then the user name will be returned with @security-domain appended.
Retrieve the catalog name of the database. The VDB name is always the catalog name.
name is a string and the return value is an object.
A null name will return a null value. Typically you will use the a get wrapped in a CAST to convert to the desired type.
name is a string, value is an object, and the return value is an object.
The previous value for the key or null will be returned. A set has no effect on the current transaction and is not affected by commit/rollback.
Get a column value from the generated keys of the previous statement.
column_name is a string. The return value is of type object.
Null is returned if there is no such generated key nor matching key column. Typically this function will only be used within the scope of procedure to determine a generated key value from an insert. It should not be expected that all inserts provide generated keys as not all sources support returning generated keys.

Boleslav III av Böhmen, var en böhmisk hertig 999-1003.

Boleslav III av Böhmen var son till Boleslav II. Han lyckades på grund av inre stridigheter med sina bröder om makten inte hävda landets ställning. Hans polska besittningar gick snabbt förlorade till Boleslav I av Polen som även erövrade hela Böhmen. 1003 föll Boleslav III i polsk fångenskap, där han avled.

Berkshire charity ABC to Read has released its annual statistics for 2015/2016, reporting an impressive 96% boost in self-confidence in the primary school children it works with, thanks to one-to-one reading mentoring.
Among other figures, the charity reports a 95% improvement in reading accuracy and a 93% improvement in reading comprehension. Where communication with their peers was considered a particular concern, the statistics record an impressive 90% improvement as a result of time spent with an ABC to Read volunteer mentor. The survey also recorded an 83% improvement in written communication and a 59% improvement in attendance where these areas were identified as specific targets for development.
The primary school children selected to work with an ABC to Read mentor are identified by the schools as those children who are struggling with their reading and would benefit most from one-to-one support.

Not only did I spend the weekend with some of my favorite ladies in the world, I also got to paint outside. It was a short session - not only was it hot, but I didn't want to hold up the group. I quickly ate lunch so I could paint these amazing fins in Arches National Park. Luckily for me, I watched the group head off in the wrong direction before they course corrected, which gave me an extra 5 minutes to paint.
Then I packed up my gear and ran off on the trail to catch up with them. I was on fire soul-wise. Painting outdoors lights me up and I was on cloud nine after this session. It was so wonderful to spend 20 minutes with these amazing natural features and observe them more directly. Appreciation through art gives me a better understanding of how something works and what it is. When I walk away from a session like this, I feel so connected to the natural world. I plan to finish this sketchbook painting with some additional linework before I call it done.

Development of Sambo in Slavonia
Sambo in Croatia
1 July 2014 Sergei Grishin
By Jagoda Radojcic
Lately, the biggest development of Sambo in Croatia is happening in the least possible place - in Slavonia. Slavonia, Croatian region with lots of problems like high unemployment rate and recent floods, has very active Sambo community. Sambo club "Belisce" is the heart of Sambo academy of Slavonia and Baranja with two other clubs, Osijek and Jolly. The representatives from Slavonia participated at the World Championship in St. Petersburg and the European Championship in Bucharest. The Belisce Sambo club has 50 active members and the number is increasing daily in all Slavonia. Their ambition is to promote Sambo within schools and involve children and youths, and in October this year they will be hosting Croatian Sambo Championship for cadets, juniors and seniors.
Fans of martial arts in Slavonia since last year had a chance to discover and train new martial art, known as Sambo, as Sambo Academy was founded in Osijek. The Academy, the only one of its kind in Croatia, is organized over three clubs, one of which is the headquarters, Sambo club Belisce.
Today, one of Russia's most successful export products, Sambo is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world, and Fedor Emilianenko, considered by many the greatest and most complete fighter that is the world of mixed martial arts has ever seen, is the most famous ambassador and martial arts. Emilianenko said about sambo: "Sambo is a Russian sport, in our country, everyone knows about it. A favorite among the kids and the adults. Personally, I train sambo since childhood, and to this day it remains my favorite sport." Members of Slavonia Sambo clubs, huge Emilianenko's fans, want to create that spirit in their towns.
Because of Fedor Emilianenko's sporting and human charisma, but also due to a number of Sambo sportsmen from the former Soviet Union who are in ultimate fighting achieving superior results, Sambo has become more and more interesting skill among fans across the globe. Croatia is no exception.
The president of Slavonia Sambo academy Christian Uskokovic and his associates are doing all the work as volunteers, and they've done tremendous job in less than two years. Also, they are not charging the trainings for young people and kids, because most of them can not afford it, and they do not want to deny them a chance to get into sports, since in smaller places there are not many opportunities. At this point they are engaging in communication, support and cooperation with Sambo sportsmen from countries where Sambo is more developed.
Being active in a region where is very hard to find sponsors, with children in a bad economic situation, recovering from floods, and still having enthusiasm to develop and promote beautiful sport Sambo, just shows what Sambo is all about.
