Food is limited to snack or wrapped items which are consumed individually. No group meals, fast food, or open plates of food are allowed.
Drinks are limited to those in closed containers such as covered cups, soda cans, or water bottles.
Anyone disregarding the food policy will be asked to either dispose of their food/drink or leave the Library or Information Commons.
Keep all conversations to a minimum and use a hushed voice.
Silence cell phone ringers and not make or take calls within the library.
Conduct social conversations outside of the library.
Keep the music down - even when using headphones.
Talk quietly when using a study room as the walls are not sound proof and voices do carry.
Self-police noise levels as much as possible. Ask others who are being disruptive to quiet down. If disruptive patrons do not stop patrons should let a library staff member know.
Do not leave personal belongings unattended. The Library and Information Commons are not responsible for any lost or stolen personal items. Immediately notify UHA Public Safety of all thefts by calling (518) 244-3177 in Albany and (603) 494-4617 in Vermont.
All library materials and equipment should be handled with care. The person using them will be held responsible for any damage that occurs during their use. Please notify someone on the library staff if something is broken or damaged.
Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences students who are registered library patrons in good standing may check out a tablet (iPad) and/or peripherals (i.e. power cords, Ethernet cords, computer mice etc.). Students with outstanding fines in excess of $5.00 are not eligible to borrow library materials.
iPads may be checked out by Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences faculty, staff, and students with a current ACPHS ID card, who maintain a valid library account in good standing, and who read, agree to, and sign the iPad Loan Agreement. iPads can be checked out for 4 days. The loan period for iPads on reserve is 3 hours. All iPads must be returned directly to a library representative at the circulation desk.
Tablets and peripherals are to be returned on time and intact to the User Services Desk. The Library and Information Commons are not responsible for files remaining on the disk once a laptop is returned, or for any loss or damage to a user's files during the loan period.
Overdue fines are automatically charged to your library account. Overdue fines of $5.00 or more will prevent students from borrowing any additional library materials.
Students are responsible for the full replacement cost if the computer or any peripherals charged out to them are lost and the full repair cost if the computer or any peripherals are damaged. Damage or loss charges will be applied to the student's College bill.
You are responsible for the laptop charged out to you. Laptop computers should not be left unattended at any time. Any loss or damage of laptops should be reported to a library staff member immediately.
Library computers are for use by ACPHS faculty, staff, students and other members of the ACPHS Community.
Use of library computers and resources for academic purposes has priority over non-academic purposes.
A 15-minute time limit may be imposed when others are waiting for library computers.
Users must comply with the ACPHS Computer Policy.
All computers are delicate electronic devices and require certain care to ensure proper operation.
Additional policies regarding the proper use of ACPHS computers can be found in the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Computer Policy which is located in the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Student Handbook.
As a general policy, the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Libraries do not purchase textbooks or add donated textbooks to the library collections. An instructor may choose to place a personal copy of a textbook on reserve in the library for a specific course and the textbook will be returned to the instructor at the end of the course. If you're not sure whether your professor has put your course's textbook on reserve, search the Reserve Desk to see what is available.
This practice is related to issues of space, resources, and mission. Textbooks are quickly outdated, and acquisition would hinder our efforts to develop a collection of lasting value.
For the purposes of this policy, a textbook is a book specifically designed to be used as the basis of a course of study. They are typically designed for a semester-long course and often have a companion teacher's edition. Textbooks are commonly reissued in updated editions every year or two, and typically contain examples, problems, practice exams, etc. Scholarly studies, works of literature, history, philosophy, and other types of texts may be required reading for a class but they are not considered to be textbooks as defined above. Sometimes texts required for a course may already be part of the library's holdings because they meet the criteria of the library's general collection development policy, not because they are required for specific classes.
Please note that, as academic libraries generally do not purchase textbooks, they are not available on interlibrary loan. Library Services does not fill Interlibrary Loan requests for textbooks in current use at the College.
The ACPHS Bookstore provides a rental service and sells new and used textbooks.
If you have suggestions for items to be added to the library's collection, we would love to hear from you.
Group study rooms are available in the Library and Information Commons during their hours of operation. The following guidelines ensure fair and appropriate use of the study rooms in the Library and Information Commons.
The rooms are provided for groups of 2 or more individuals for the purpose of studying and meeting and are not intended for individual use.
Keys to the rooms are checked out at the Service Desk on a first-come, first-served basis.
A valid ACPHS ID is required to check out a room.
There is a 3-hour limit per group and the room must be occupied during this time. Renewals are possible only if no other group is waiting for the room and may be requested only at the conclusion of the 3-hour loan period.
The key is the sole responsibility of the user to whom it is checked out. The member of the group who checks out the key is also responsible for the group and the condition of the room.
Keys will be issued as a 3-hour reserve item and reserve fines are applicable.
Group study room users must maintain a moderate noise level - rooms are not soundproof, and loud talking disturbs other users in adjoining rooms and outside the rooms.
When leaving the room remove your trash, turn out the lights, lock & close the door, and then return the key to the Service Desk.
Failure to follow these rules may result in the immediate relinquishment of the room.
ACPHS Libraries are primarily for use by students, faculty, staff and other members of the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences community. Researchers and scholars not affiliated with the College may utilize the library's collections under the guidelines set forth below.
Visitors may gain permission to access the library weekdays between 8am and 4:30pm.
Make an appointment with Library Staff at least 24 hours in advance.
Demonstrate a need for resources not otherwise available from public sources.

Column: The games will go on after Hamlin — they always do
It was a horrific scene, no doubt. A young athlete just getting started on a promising NFL career, seemingly the personification of fitness and health, popping up from a rather innocuous-looking tackle – and then slumping back to the turf.
Just like that, fighting for his life.
Naturally, when a traumatic event happens like the one that stopped Damar Hamlin's heart – not once, but twice – and left him in critical condition, we're roused to ponder the value of a sport.
Especially a violent one such as football, which has turned many a man's brain to mush and left so many bodies maimed and broken.
Some parents won't let their children play football anymore. Some fans say they can no longer bear to watch the physical toll these modern-day gladiators put themselves through for our enjoyment.
Both sentiments are understandable. There are plenty of other sports that kids can play. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy a Sunday afternoon in the fall that don't require watching the carnage of the NFL.
But anyone who suggests this is a precarious moment for America's No. 1 sport, that somehow we've crossed a Rubicon leading to its slow, inevitable downfall, simply hasn't been paying attention.
Tragedy and death are a part of all sports, as intertwined with the games we play and cheer for as life itself.
There is nothing to suggest this time will be any different.
The NFL already has endured massive criticism for doing its best to ignore the awful toll of repeated concussions, its protocols called into question again this season, yet hasn't seen its popularity wane in the the least.
Football's hold on America is strong indeed.
When a new weekend arrives, the masses will be back in the stadiums or plopped down in front of their giant TVs – cheering on their favorite teams, barking at those who make a mistake, breaking down potential playoff matchups, incessantly checking on point spreads and parlays and fantasy rosters.
The risks were calculated long ago and determined by the vast majority to be worth it.
"I don't know how you avoid it," President Joe Biden said Wednesday. "I think working like hell on the helmets and the concussion protocols, that all makes a lot of sense. But it's, you know, it is dangerous. You've got to just acknowledge it."
Ignoring the potential peril is built into a football player's DNA. Consider Devon Gales, a former college football player who was paralyzed in a 2015 game.
His love for the gridiron hasn't waned at all. If anything, it's gotten stronger. If he could get up from his wheelchair, he would run back out there without hesitation.
"I want to hit somebody. Or give me the ball. I'll roll to the touchdown," Gales said during a recent interview, breaking into a big smile.
Any discussion about football's future is sure to be brushed aside quickly by most fans. The only real hope is that Hamlin's plight will make those of us on the outside more empathetic to the players of this savage game – a worthy goal, for sure – but even that sentiment figures to fade in short order.
Fumbles must be booed. Interceptions must be heckled. First-round busts must be taken to task.
"I've gotten up here and I've talked about how these young men deserve everything they've got," New York Jets coach Robert Saleh said. "We know what they do every day. We know how hard it is to play this game. And it's not just playing the game of football, it's all the preparation and how much their bodies hurt, every day."
Roughly five decades ago, just as the NFL was establishing itself as America's new national pastime, a diminutive Detroit receiver named Chuck Hughes collapsed on the field while trotting back to the huddle in the closing minutes of a game between the Lions and the Chicago Bears.
Many thought he was dead as soon as he hit the turf, though that wouldn't be made official until he arrived at a nearby hospital and all efforts to revive him had proven unsuccessful. Turns out, he was suffering from major heart disease that had gone undetected. He was only 28 and remains the lone player to die in an NFL game.
Even in that era before the internet and social media and Red Zone, Hughes' death was a jarring event that sent an entire nation into mourning. President Richard Nixon even sent a letter of condolences to the player's widow.
"Never, ever in the wildest moments would you ever believe a thing like this could happen," Lions owner William Clay Ford would tell the Detroit Free Press as he choked back tears. "It's just inconceivable."
But Hughes' death did nothing to slow the NFL's enormous growth. And while Ford's words are just as applicable today when talking about Hamlin's fight to survive, the grim truth is that things like this do happen, across all sports.
Not that often, thankfully.
But enough to remind us of the fragility of life.
Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman was killed by a pitch to the head. Bill Masterton of the NHL's Minnesota North Stars died from a hit on the ice. Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis collapsed on the basketball court. Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes was doomed by a freak bouncer that caught him in the neck.
Several cyclists have perished while tackling the Tour de France. Countless race car drivers – including mammoth stars such as Ayrton Senna and Dale Earnhardt – have lost their lives in high-speed crashes. Boxing has extracted a horrific toll from those who step in the ring.
Death has even come to those in the stands. Thirteen-year-old Brittanie Cecil was killed by a deflected puck that struck her in the temple while she was watching a Columbus Blue Jackets NHL game in 2002.
Each sport stopped for a moment to grieve after those unthinkable tragedies, some of which even led to much-needed safety improvements such as protective netting going up behind the net in all NHL arenas.
Then the games went on.
They always do.

Q: How to fetch a list of more than 500 users in Google Directory API? I have written a code which uses Google Directory API to fetch user accounts information from the server. It specifically fetches user list but by default, the system returns a list of 100 users in the alphabetical order of the user's email address. This can be changed by setting Directory.Users.List.setMaxResults to 500 (which is upper limit). But in case, I set it to more than 500, the call returns an exception.
So my question is, in case the server has more than 500 users, is it possible to fetch all the users (more than 500) in a single list? If not, is there any workaround to fetch all the users?
NOTE- I am using Java client library of directory api

A: Use pageToken like this:
List<User> usersList = new ArrayList<User>();
com.google.api.services.admin.directory.Directory.Users.List ul = dir.users().list().setCustomer(customerId).setMaxResults(Config.MAX_API_RESULTS);
do {
    Users curPage = ul.execute();
    usersList.addAll(curPage.getUsers());
    ul.setPageToken(curPage.getNextPageToken());
} while(ul.getPageToken() != null && ul.getPageToken().length() > 0);

A: Like you said, the maximum page size is 500 and the allowed values are from 1 to 500.  Hence, you must be getting an exception.
For getting the next page of users, the API sends a pageToken for the next page in the response.  Use this to get the next set of 500 users and so on.
The actual API looks like this - https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/users/list

NFL | NCAA Football
In Defense Of Tom Brady
By Terri
As everyone connected to the NFL has heard, whether one is a fan, a player, or a member of the media, New England Patriots star QB Tom Brady is under fire for a bad performance, along with the team on Monday Night Football, September 29, 2014, against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO. On that night, the Chiefs blasted the Patriots by a score of 41-14. The Patriots defense made Chiefs QB Alex Smith look like Joe Montana. Tom Brady and the Patriots were so lifeless and lost, that Brady was replaced by rookie QB Jimmy Garropolo. Garropolo threw a TD pass in garbage time, and that created grief for Brady.
Since the game, Brady has been attacked from all sides. He has been heavily criticized by the local Boston media, by ESPN, other media, and by fans, both non-fans and Patriot fans alike. The criticism that has been going around centers on the following themes: Brady is declining. Brady is scared. Brady was a poor sport not to congratulate Garropolo for the TD. Brady is no longer elite. I have read many of the articles, and listened to some of the commentary, and much of it made me shake my head. I wondered if anyone has either watched the game of professional football, or just wants to see their names in public. I mean, some of the criticism that Brady is receiving is going beyond the pale, as I see it.
I don't think I have hidden the fact in my past blogs that I think very highly of Tom Brady and I am a huge fan of Patriots. I have written past blogs praising Brady and the team. I make it no secret that Brady is my favorite QB of all time. In my opinion, along with San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana, Tom Brady is the best ever. On social media, I've defended the man against ridiculous attacks, much to my own detriment.
In this blog, I plan to discuss some of the criticism that has been leveled against the Patriots star quarterback. I plan to list each of the main themes. Next, I will discuss what I think, and demonstrate why I disagree. So, I am going to present my case for the defense of Tom Brady. I hope that my readers will read this blog with an open mind, and enjoy it as well.
THEME 1: Tom Brady is sharply declining.
There's the old saying, "Time waits for no one." One of my fellow parishioners at my church coined this similar phrase, "Time is undefeated." However you want to say it, Father Time catches up everyone. I don't care if it is a lawyer, doctor, or professional athlete. Eventually, there comes a point where we can't do things as well as we used to be able to do them.
Let's see what has been happening with Brady. His accuracy has been off. I noticed that last season, and the beginning of this season. He will either throw the ball 5 yards in front of the receiver, or will overthrow the receiver on long pass attempts. He also looks very skittish in the pocket, especially when the pocket collapses, and there's pressure up the middle. His decision making has definitely taken a downturn.
However, I think the cause may be elsewhere, especially this year. Is there an undisclosed injury that he's dealing with that he got while taking one of those huge hits? I was wondering why he didn't run for that 1st down late in the Monday Night Game. Perhaps he didn't want to take the hit due to a physical reason.
THEME 2. Tom Brady is the sole reason for the Patriots' problems.
I have seen this argument from many pundits on all the networks. I have seen this in the Boston media, and from fans, both of the team, and non-fans. I was under the impression that football was a TEAM sport, unlike a sport such as figure skating or golf. Tom Brady, unlike say, 1988 Men's Olympic Gold Medalist Brian Boitano or Phil Mickelson, is not out on that field by himself. If Mickelson and Boitano (when he competed both in amateur and professional competitions) screw up, it's on them alone. If Brady (and for every QB), screws up, it is not only on him, as he is on a team. I will concede that a crucial mistake by a QB can lose the game, I still say they win as a team and they lose as a team. The QB gets too much praise for wins and too much blame for losses.
Let's examine some other problems with the Patriots. Their offensive line has been attrocious. How can any reasonable person expect a top QB like Brady to play behind that offensive line? Even when Garropolo came into the game, he got sacked. It doesn't matter who they have as QB, that O Line is awful.
The retirement of former O line coach Dante Scarrnechia is really hurting the offense. The inability to pick 5 guys and stick with them is not helping matters. Trading Logan Mankins is coming back to bite them. Some have played the trade down, but I think it is more than a small issue.
Brady does look "scared" as former teammate, and NBC Sports commentator Rodney Harrison said, because I don't think he trusts that offensive line, and Mankins is gone. Mankins was also a great leader. Never underestimate the loss of a great locker room leader like Mankins.
Another issue that I am seeing with the Patriots is where is the offensive help? I know the Patriots business model is to build the team through the draft, and don't spend a lot on free agency, and such. Robert Kraft is one of the few NFL owners I have full respect for. I'm disappointed that in the Rice case, he's full supported Goodell, but that's another thing. Mr. Kraft has built a successful franchise. Coach Bill Belichick is a first ballot Hall of Fame coach. People can say what they want, Coach Belichick can flat out coach.
Both of these men work very hard for their success. I am not taking that away from them.
That being said, I'm seeing the last years of Tom Brady's greatness going to waste. Brady has been throwing the ball to virtually no one almost his entire career, with the exception of 2007. It appears to me that the team's mindset is that, "if Brady won us 3 Super Bowl victories with nobodies, we will keep it the same." Well, I am sorry, but it looks like the team got a very rude awakening on that Monday Night Football game. WR Julian Edelman is the team's offense. TE Rob Gronkowski is still working his way back in the offense. He and Brady are not on the same page. WR Kenbrell Thompkins has been released, and WR Aaron Dobson has been benched.
Brandon LaFell is the only person they got this past free agency period. I mean, look at who was available this off season. The team could have spent money on Emmanuel Sanders. They could have gotten Steve Smith, who was unceremoniously released by the Panthers. Steve Smith may be "old," but he's doing well in Baltimore.
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is not helping the team at all. His play calling is horrible. The team is going up against a Chiefs team that can't stop the run. What does McDaniels call? He calls pass plays. He also did that against the Raiders, who also have a hard time stopping the run. McDaniels needs to find a way to stick to the run. Brady won't last the season this way.
The problems with the team lay at the doorstep of Bill Belichick. He is the General Manager and the Head Coach. The team is suffering from poor drafts in the past few years. Some of Coach Belichick's own decisions as coach make me wonder if he's outsmarted himself. The decision to bench WR Wes Welker (as punishment) for that first drive in that playoff game against the New York Jets is still a head scratcher). He needs to do what he does best, and coach. It is too big a job for one person.
He's also a defensive oriented coach What has happened to the defense over the past decade? The defense has declined rapidly since the departure of guys like Tedy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, etc. Even when they were there, the team never drafted players who were good enough to help those guys, and replace them. One of the reasons why the NY Giants won SB 42 and SB 46 is because of defensive lapses, particularly SB 42.
THEME 3: Brady didn't congratulate QB Jimmy Garropolo after the game.
This theme goes under the, "Are you kidding me? " category. I know that jealous people slam Brady for some of the dumbest reasons (talented, rich, Gisele Bundchen, cute kids, handsome) , but this takes the cake. Tom Brady is a competitive person. He's not thinking about what the camera is showing or not showing. He and his team are getting their rear ends handed to them. He was not thinking about who scored what when. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous. People were making more than it was.
I thought that it was ridiculous for people to suggest a QB controversy. I mean, Garropolo throws a TD pass in garbage time, and people want the rookie to start? How about some patience and some loyalty? Honestly, I think there's those that have forgotten when the Patriots were a horrible team, and have gotten spoiled. Now, when the team has a bad stretch, I am seeing folks calling for Brady's head. That's not right.
I also am seeing a lot of media people, especially folks like Kurt Warner, getting their pound of flesh, and taking some real unfair shots. Kurt Warner, an analyst on NFL Network, said that Brady had to start taking responsibility for his bad playing. I don't know what press conferences Warner watches, but Brady always says he has to play better. In every interview, Brady says, I have to play better."
In summation, I feel that Tom Brady is still a top QB. I think the drop off in his play is not so much due to him, but the team, and the coaching. The bad play calling, the Mankins trade, and the offensive line are the more likely reasons for the Patriots' recent problems. Tom Brady is the least of the problems. I am not saying that Brady is blameless. He needs to start trusting other players (Danny Amendola, LaFell). He can't lock onto just Edelman and Gronkowski.
Can Tom Brady and the Patriots turn the season around? As of this writing, Brady and the team, are preparing to take the field tonight at Gillette Stadium to take on the 3-0 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football. Win or lose tonight, I have confidence that the team will be playing much better. It's still early in the season, and the Patriots are in a very weak AFC East division. I still have confidence in Tom Brady. I have yet to write him or the Patriots off, as there have been other teams that in the minds of pundits and fans, have been left for dead. The 2005 Steelers should come to mind.
That, my readers, is my case for the defense of Tom Brady. I hope my readers enjoyed it.

NFL 2016: The AFC South Has Grown and Gotten A Lot Better


The seven-year pro is averaging 19.4 points and averaging 50 percent from the field in his last 16 games.
Auburn Hills — Reggie Jackson was relieved. After scoring in single digits in three subpar games, Jackson seemed to have turned a corner, with seven of his 17 points coming in the fourth quarter.
The Pistons held on in the final minute to beat the New Orleans Pelicans Jan. 23 and although they ended their two-game losing streak, all was not well. Jackson had his best game in more than three weeks and being in a giddy mood, he wandered over to where teammate Blake Griffin was doing a postgame television interview, unaware of what was being said.
In the pantheon of bad timing, Jackson's faux pas — interrupting the interview and mugging for the camera — was comically bad. Though unintentional, it served as ocular proof that the Pistons weren't on the same page, on or off the court. Some viewed the encounter as the low point of the Pistons' season.
In reality, it could turn out to be where the tide started to turn. It's already an inflection point, as the Pistons have gone 11-5 since Jan. 23 and Jackson's numbers have skyrocketed: 19.4 points, 5 assists and 47 percent on 3-pointers and 50 percent from the field in those 16 games.
It seemingly all points back to the postgame interview in New Orleans. While social media sizzled white-hot with the clips of Griffin's interview, the prevailing perception was that Griffin and Jackson weren't getting along.
The looming trade deadline fanned the flames, with rumors that the Pistons were looking to move Jackson and the Pistons were sinking, at five games below .500.
Griffin thought something needed to be done, so he had a short talk with Jackson to clear the air — and ensure there wasn't any animosity on either side. With 35 games left on the schedule, they still had time to turn things around but needed to play better to make a playoff run.
"I was pissed in general and he knew that," Griffin told The Detroit News. "Since I've been here, I've tried to hold everybody probably to a higher standard than needs to be, because I know what it takes to build that foundation of where we want to go. That's all that is.
Jackson appreciated the sentiment and said he didn't feel the need to apologize or explain himself. It was just poor timing.
There was no team meeting or big to-do about it; Griffin and Jackson just worked it out — and haven't thought much about it. Since then, the Pistons have been one of the hottest teams in the league, streaking back to .500 and catapulting into the No. 6 spot in the East in the past six weeks.
Coach Dwane Casey doesn't point to one particular reason for the Pistons' renaissance but thinks they've channeled the energy from the incident into a positive.
The chemistry is there. While the Pistons had been predominantly dependent on Griffin's isolation plays on offense in the first chunk of the season, Jackson's ascendance has opened opportunities in the pick-and-roll and his 3-point shooting has been among the league's best in the recent stretch.
It's resulted in winning on the court and Jackson becoming a true third member of a triumvirate that is pushing the Pistons toward the playoffs.
The biggest difference isn't the talk with Griffin — it's Jackson's health. After missing most of the summer workouts and being limited in training camp, Jackson is just starting to hit his full stride — at the right time.
"I said earlier in the year that it's going to take Reggie a lot of the season because he was off half of last year, all summer and missed training camp," Casey said. "It's taken him a while and he's coming around now to getting his sea legs. Arnie (Kander) and the medical staff have done a good job of getting him back.
Jackson said he's just starting to feel like he did when he was completely healthy. Injuries in the previous two seasons have decimated his production — and the Pistons' fortunes.
"I haven't felt like myself in years in terms of explosion. I was trying to figure out different ways (to score)," Jackson said. "Ultimately, it's probably made me better because of it, not having my explosion. It was something that was frustrating, annoying and difficult, especially because I wanted to be out there and be healthy for my guys.
"I know these past few years, I felt like we were still a playoff team; it's just health and chemistry. I know a big part is my health; I wish I could have been healthy. There was some truth in what people were saying — I just didn't have the same explosion or same attack numbers.
In the first 46 games of the season, Jackson's numbers were pedestrian: 14.1 points, 4.1 assists, 34 percent on 3-pointers and 40 percent on field goals. Count Andre Drummond among the happiest to see his pick-and-roll partner back near full strength.
It might not be the major cause for their turnaround, but the initial talk between Jackson and Griffin further opened their lines of communication. It was the precursor for more talks — before almost every game.
"We (initially) talked more about us at the end of games. It wasn't him or anybody being singled out. It was just that we have to be better," Griffin said. "Now, before every game, I constantly talk to him about being aggressive and I'm here on this side. It's you and (Drummond) in pick-and-roll.
After their talk and getting the Pistons back on track, the options seem endless.
Outlook: The Pistons (31-31) are in a playoff push after winning 10 of their last 13 games, including five straight at home. The Timberwolves (29-34) have lost three straight and have one of the worst road records (9-24) in the Western Conference.


Gardasil Vaccine: One More Girl Dead, Everything You Should Know About This Vaccine.
The sudden death of a 12-year-old girl in Waukesha, Wisconsin, just hours after receiving the HPV Gardasil vaccine has shocked the girl's family, and sent local media out asking questions as to how this could happen. Here is a report from WISN 12 News.
Dr. Geoffrey Swain of the local health department was interviewed to give the standard CDC reply, which is similar to almost every other vaccine, stating that severe reactions like this resulting in death are "very rare," and about "1 out of a million".
Assuming that there is some data to back up the claim of only "1 out of a million," how many doses of the HPV vaccine are administered every year? According to the latest statistics (July 2014) published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services here (page 7), over 9 million per year. So the government admits that at least 9 girls per year are killed by the HPV vaccine. How many parents know this prior to taking a doctor's advice to administer this vaccine that is supposedly a protection against cervical cancer caused by the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease?
These local news media, possibly covering the HPV vaccine for the first time, were all quick to interview and provide links to the official CDC view of the vaccine. But here are some other facts regarding the vaccine that they failed to disclose, probably because they did not take the time to look outside of the standard government response to events like this, or their station managers did not allow them to give any other news outside of what the CDC claims.
1. There are many more reported side effects than just death from the HPV vaccine.
Dr. Deirdre Little, a pediatrician in Australia, was the first one to sound the alarm over the HPV vaccine causing premature menopause when she observed it in one of her 16 year old patients in 2012.
See: Narcolepsy and Cataplexy after Gardasil?
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), stroke, venous thromboembolism (VTE), appendicitis, seizures, syncope (fainting), and allergic reactions.
French Medical Professionals ask: Are HPV vaccines necessary?
Most of the U.S. public is unaware that a U.S. citizen, by law, cannot sue a pharmaceutical company for damages resulting from vaccines. Congress gave them total legal immunity in 1986, and that law was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011. There is a special "vaccine court" called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program that is funded through a tax on vaccines. If you are injured or killed by a vaccine, you must hire an attorney and fight tax-funded government attorneys to seek damages, as you cannot sue the drug manufacturers. It can take 10 years or longer to win your case and be compensated. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services usually publishes a report every couple months on settlements on their website. Here is the latest one.
4. The U.S. Government Earns Royalties from the sale of the Gardasil HPV Vaccine.
Dr. Eric Suba tried to use the Freedom of Information Act to find out how much money the National Institute of Health (NIH) earned from the sale of Gardasil, but they refused to report the amount of revenue the government earns from this vaccine (although not denying they do earn royalties). Did you know that the government earns royalties from the sale of the Gardasil vaccine? Does your doctor promoting the HPV vaccine know this?
Julie Gerberding was in charge of the CDC from 2002 to 2009, which includes the years the FDA approved Gardasil as a vaccine. Soon after she took over the CDC, she reportedly completely overhauled the agency's organizational structure, and many of the CDC's senior scientists and leaders either left or announced plans to leave. Some have claimed that almost all of the replacements Julie Gerberding appointed had ties to the vaccine industry.
Scientists at the Duke University School of Medicine discovered that African American women carry HPV strains not found in the Gardasil vaccine. Study here. Moshella Roberts, a 20-year-old African American woman died needlessly from the HPV vaccine.
While it is encouraging to see local news affiliates report deaths and injuries due to the Gardasil vaccine, they need to do more research to present all of the facts, rather than just parroting what the CDC says. Of course to raise the issue of the "Gardasil controversy" could jeopardize your journalistic career, and force you into apologizing for suggesting the vaccine is anything but totally safe. Just ask Katie Couric.
In the meantime, do your own research before making any decisions on the Gardasil vaccine!

Charting the future: Marketplace at Aspen Ideas 2018
The CEO of Reddit: "We are not the thought police … but we do care about how you behave"

Top executives, policymakers and artists gather at the Aspen Ideas Festival every year to share their expertise with the public. This year, the focus is on globalization, free speech and how we're adapting to an increasingly technical world. Marketplace is at Aspen focusing on what those experts are saying about the future. What's next for the Trump administration's antitrust efforts? Or the potential for a world without credit cards? Check out the full series here.
Reddit is the fourth-most visited site in the United States. It's been dubbed "the front page of the internet" and popular for Ask Me Anything interviews with public figures and celebrities. In recent years, it's also infamously fostered hate speech and harmful communities of trolls. Steve Huffman founded Reddit in 2005 after graduating from the University of Virginia. He then sold the company, but returned in 2015 at the peak of vitriol on the platform.
Marketplace Morning Report's David Brancaccio sat down with Huffman in Aspen to discuss the platform's multiple uses, free speech and role the company has in regulating the content posted. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
Steve Huffman: So Reddit is a network of communities. We have communities that cover pretty much any topic imaginable. Stuff you would recognize, you know, news, sports, politics, internet culture, memes, you know, what's going on and things you might not find elsewhere online. And we also have a pretty deep network and support community, so places you might go when you're having difficult times in life — whether you're going through a divorce or maybe struggling with addiction. Reddit, globally, is a place where you can find community and belonging.
David Brancaccio: So some profound things, a lot of profound things, a lot of sort of silly little things.
Huffman: Yes. And people come to Reddit for a variety of different reasons, right? You might come to get your daily dose and see what's going on today. You might come because you have five minutes and you need a few laughs, or you might come because, hey, you need support and help and camaraderie, and we deal in that, too.
Brancaccio: It is actually how some of my own offspring get their news. They get it from Reddit. You know, "I saw on Reddit," and it's actual news — a link to a news story, and there it is.
Huffman: Quite a bit of people get their news from Reddit.
Brancaccio: All right, but there's a lot of speech because of all these topics, and some of it is stuff that none of us wants to see. Sometimes it's racist. You have a sense that people should say pretty much what they want on Reddit, just they can't do anything. It's the behavior that you're focused on.
Huffman: Exactly. So Reddit is a very broad place and we see pretty much — we think of ourselves in many respects as a reflection of humanity. But just like in humanity, there is a darker side in this, people who say things that might be offensive or fringe. And the way we think about that is trying to draw a line between behavior and beliefs. We are not the thought police. We don't want to control what you believe, but we do care about how you behave. So for example: Our content policies prohibit spam inciting violence, harassing and bullying. Those things are, I think, objective behaviors that we don't want to see on the site.
Brancaccio: But I know you wrestle with this because, you know, what incites violence? In other words, it doesn't have to just be "I want you to go knock someone on the head with this stick." There can be words that are so inflaming that the next possible step is violence. So how do you wrestle with that?
Huffman: Well, it's a really fair point. Sometimes it's clean and black and white, but more often than not when we're wrestling with it, it's because it's in the gray area. And so we have a whole team dedicated to this. So me, our general counsel, our head of policy, our head of trust and safety — we debate these issues quite a bit. And, of course, our communities have a say on this as well, right? So every community is run by moderators, which are users who create the community and set the standards for discourse, but also the users themselves can vote on, whether it's a post or a comment on Reddit, vote on anything. And so they also enforce their own standards. And most communities actually have rules and restrictions far stricter than the ones that we impose. And we think that's a good thing.
Brancaccio: And when it comes to figuring out whether a statement of fact that might be on Reddit is true or not or if it's made up, your system of the people who use Reddit can kind of vote it up, helps you sort fact from fiction.
Huffman: The question of truth is something, a topic of conversation nationwide right now, and it's a very pertinent conversation. And we believe that no one individual, whether it's a private company like us or even me as an individual or the government, should be the arbiters of truth. It's actually, I think, a very complex problem, and it comes down to people being skeptical and debating and having these conversations. You know, journalists digging things up and fact-checking and presenting their views and as well as us, you know, a technology company, really ensuring that the volume of any particular viewpoint is in proportion to the number of people who actually have that viewpoint — ensuring the integrity of our systems and our content is really important to us.
Brancaccio: I don't think it's ironic. You are a sentient human being. But there is some irony in the fact that there have been limits to what even you can take. You went to University of Virginia, right? So Charlottesville happens. And there's some stuff on Reddit that you just did not want to see.
Huffman: Charlottesville was a pretty emotional experience for me personally. That is where I grew up, that's my home. And I didn't like seeing that happen in the real world.
Brancaccio: And your initial reaction was what?
Huffman: I was upset. There was a lot of emotions there. I was quite angry. There was a community on Reddit at the time that was almost an apologist for what happened there, and that was deeply upsetting. And my knee-jerk reaction was just get them off the site. I know the answer here. You know, we can we can figure it out later. Fortunately, I'm not the sole decision-maker in these conversations. And I think we had a productive and rational decision about it and that —
Brancaccio: There was a cooling off period for you, Steve?
Huffman: Well, for me, personally. Fortunately, the team was already on it, and we had actually, before the Charlottesville tragedy, had been refining our language around violence and glorifying violence. In the wake of Charlottesville, that was a really good motivation to get that wrapped up pretty quick. And I'm glad we did that.

Brancaccio: Maybe robots can fix this. I know you actually have humans on the case trying to figure out what goes too far on Reddit, but maybe artificial intelligence can come in here and do some of your work for you.
Huffman: You know, maybe. But I'm skeptical.
Brancaccio: Even a technology guy like you says maybe.
Huffman: I think AI and machine learning can — we are going to do incredible things, and I think the future is very, very bright. And I am neither with the cohort of people that think AI is the end of humanity, nor am I in the cohort of people that believe AI is world peace. AI is a computer science tool for right now, building better models and they are becoming increasingly complex so we can do some incredible things. But a motto we've always had at Reddit is "let humans do the hard part" and so when we're talking about things like classification and setting standards for discourse and policy enforcement, I'm actually a huge proponent of how do we share that burden with our community? Because the only thing that scales with users, is users. And I think we've got a long way to go. When my spellcheck, when autocorrect gets a little better on my phone, then we can start talking about, you know, AI is the solution to all of our problems. I hope we get there, but —
Brancaccio: And spellcheck isn't that good is your point, yes.
Huffman: But until then, I think we have to own some of this as well.
Brancaccio: Now I have, in the past, done Ask Me Anythings, AMA's, on Reddit and it's really me, David, doing it live. Can you assure me when I'm watching an AMA by a celeb it's not some surrogate or an AI?
Huffman: Not always, actually. In fact, we do our best, but when it's not the case, the community sniffs it out, and it's usually a train wreck. Now it's one of those delightful train wrecks that I, as a user, really enjoy watching because I think it keeps people honest. But that's really important, I think, being yourself. And I think woe be the person that mistakes Reddit for some other easily manipulated social media platform.
Brancaccio: Now Steve, you said aloud before that you, yourself, have certain troll or troll-y or troll-ish tendencies. What did you mean by that?
Huffman: I think troll has become an overloaded word, certainly in the context of the last election. But I think the internet culture that I grew up in, it's a form of pranksterism, of being deliberately obstinate, seeing if you can get somebody to be goofy or lose their temper or somehow do something silly. But the word also, I think, unfortunately, has new meaning in our —
Brancaccio: — Troll can be certainly corrosive. It can lead to terrible things because it's akin to bullying.
Huffman: Bullying or shilling or when we're talking about propaganda and that sort of thing. And so I do think it's important that we be kind of precise in our language when we're talking about what's funny and what's serious or damaging.
Brancaccio: So you as a "troll" — I'm doing air quotes — you like to provoke trouble, just not corrosive trouble?
Huffman: I think there's difference from — a lifelong hobby of mine is when somebody is like, "Hey, have you ever heard the song?" and I say, "Uh, no, could you sing it for me?" All right, and if I can get somebody to sing in a public place, that I think, that is amusing. But that's very different from fake news.
Brancaccio: Exactly.

The Founder of Aikido was Master Morihei Ueshiba. He became known as O-sensei (great teacher). From an early age O-sensei applied himself to the discipline of Japan's martial arts (budo), becoming an accomplished master in many styles. It was this thoroughly expert foundation in the ways of the fighting arts that led him to develop Aikido. Mirroring his appetite for martial knowledge was the depth of his spiritual explorations. In developing these aspects he saw that budo should follow the laws of nature, be in harmony with them and serve to protect them. O-sensei believed in universal harmony, that Aikido was a means of attaining that goal, and that violence and aggression could be turned aside by harmony of spirit.
Tohei Sensei was distinguished as the only person to receive 10-dan from O-sensei and also have a certificate issued by the Aikikai. He was Chief Instructor at the Aikikai hombu dojo under O-sensei for many years in the post-war era. He was instrumental in introducing Aikido to the west beginning with regular lengthy visits to Hawaii from 1953. His role is somewhat disparaged in some quarters because of his split from the Aikikai. This was brought on by disagreements, following the death of O-sensei, with the second Doshu, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, about how Aikido should be taught. Tohei Sensei wanted to emphasise Ki training and included teachings from sources other than O-sensei, notably the Shin Shin Toitsu Do of Nakamura Tempu and the Misogi no Kokyu-ho taught at the Ichikukai. Tohei Sensei founded the Ki no Kenkyukai (Ki Society) in 1971 for the promotion of ki development and formally left the Aikikai in 1974 and founded Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido (Aikido with Mind and Body Unified).
Aikido in Sydney was part of Aikido Ki Society Australia from 1999 to 2002.
Maruyama Sensei began training in Aikido in 1959 at the Keio University Aikido Association under Tohei Sensei. He became a full-time instructor in 1967 under O-sensei, who awarded him 6-dan.
He resigned from the Aikikai in 1972 to become the Chief Instructor of the Ki no Kenkyukai and was given 8-dan by Tohei Sensei. Maruyama Sensei became President of Ki no Kenkyukai in 1990. However, he resigned from this position on 29 July 1991.
He then spent ten years in seclusion in a temple in Saitama Prefecture, leaving the temple on 9 October 2001. During this time he established Aikido Yuishinkai (9 May 1996).
Aikido in Sydney was part of Aikido Yuishinkai from 2002 to 2014.
Williams Sensei attended demonstrations of AIkido by Koichi Tohei Sensei while visiting New Zealand in 1974. He studied yoga and wing chun kung fu at that time.
He began training with Jean Claude Delgueldre Sensei, Chief Instructor of Aikido in South Africa. He founded Aikido Ki Society Australia in 1981 and opened a dojo at Griffith University. In 1985 he was appointed Chief Instructor of Australia by Koichi Tohei Sensei.
In 1989, Williams Sensei relocated to Byron Bay where he built Goshinkan Dojo, officially opened by Maruyama Sensei in May 1991.
Williams Sensei resigned from Aikido Ki Society Australia and Ki Society International in January 2002. Williams Sensei joined Aikido Yuishinkai and played a significant role in its spread to Europe and the UK. Williams Sensei was appointed International Chief Instructor of Aikido Yuishinkai in October 2003. He was awarded 10-dan in 2010. He resigned from Aikido Yuishinkai in 2014 and announced the formation of Aikido Goshinkai.

Q: What steps are performed by a 'Rescan'? To automatically warehouse documents from Cloudant to dashDB, there is a schema discovery process (SDP) that automates the data migration for you.  When using the SDP to warehouse documents from Cloudant to dashDB, there is an option 'Rescan'.
I have used 'Rescan' a number of times, but am unclear on the steps it actually performs.  What steps are performed by a 'Rescan'?  E.g.

*

*Drop tables in the dashDB target schema?  Which tables?

*Scan Cloudant source database?

*Recreate the target schema?

*...

*...

A: The steps are pretty much as you suggested. Rescan will

*

*Inspect the previously discovered JSON schema and remove all tables from the dashDB instance created for that load (leaving any user defined tables untouched)

*Re-discover the JSON schema again using the current settings (including sample size, type of discovery algorithm etc.)

*Create the new tables into the same dashDB target

*Ingest the newly created tables with data from Cloudant

*Subscribe to the _changes feed from Cloudant to continuously synchronize document changes with dashDB
All steps (except for the first) are identical for the initial load as well as the rescan function.
The main motivation for a rescan is to support schema evolution. Whenever the document structure in a Cloudant source database changes, a user can make a conscious decision to drop and re-create the dashDB tables using this rescan function. SDP won't automate that process to avoid potential conflicts with applications depending on the existing dashDB tables.


Orthoptics is the study or treatment of various visual disorders, especially eye movements and eye alignment.
Orthoptists work under the supervision of an Ophthalmologist and evaluate ocular motility and binocular (double) vision relating to convergence disorders and extraocular muscle balance.
Amblyopia (lazy eye), which is a reduction in vision arising from a defect present in infancy or early childhood that prevents the eye from receiving enough visual stimulation.
Defective binocular vision, which is the inability to use both eyes in the correct way, leading to the impairment of depth perception.
Abnormal eye movements arising from injury or disease affecting the eye muscles or the nerve supplying them, or a physical obstruction to eye movement.
Diplopia (double vision) that results from abnormal eye movements or strabismus.
Strabismis, which is a vision problem where both eyes do not look at the same point at the same time (crossed-eyes or squint).

Californians To Vote On Rent Control Initiative
Written by	Posted On Monday, 18 June 2018 12:30
Come November, Californians will vote on whether or not to adopt the Affordable Housing Act. It is not too early to begin discussing the details and the effects of this ballot initiative.
The initiative, as summarized by its proponents in the signature-gathering phase, does this:
Repeals state law that currently restricts the scope of rent-control policies that cities and other local jurisdictions may impose. Allows policies that would limit the rental rates that residential-property owners may charge for new tenants, new construction, and single-family homes. In accordance with California law, provides that rent-control policies may not violate landlords' right to a fair financial return on their rental property.
The act, then, is not one that would set detailed rent control policies. Rather, its major significance is that it would repeal the state's current over-arching rent control legislation. That legislation is embodied in what is widely referred to as the Costa-Hawkins Act. The Act, so-named because it was sponsored by Senator Jim Costa (D) and Assemblyman Phil Hawkins (R), was adopted by the Legislature in 1995. It is embodied in California Civil Code §1954.5 -- 1954.535.
The Costa-Hawkins Act did not prohibit rent control in California, but it did severely limit the rent control provisions that could be adopted by a local municipality. Probably the most notable provisions of the Costa-Hawkins act are these:
1. It prohibits "vacancy control". Vacancy control would require that a vacated unit must remain at the same rental rates that applied to the previous occupant.
2. It prohibits rent control from applying to units whose certificate of occupancy was issued after Feb. 1, 1995.
3. It prohibits rent control from applying to single-family homes or condominiums.
If the proposed initiative passes, it will repeal the restrictions that are currently imposed by Costa-Hawkins. It is important to note that the Affordable Housing Act does not impose any new rental housing restrictions. Instead, it leaves to local jurisdictions to adopt, essentially, whatever rules they want, as long as they do not "violate landlords' right to a fair financial return on their rental property."
Currently, fifteen California cities have some kind of rent control ordinance. Prominent among them are Berkley, Oakland, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and West Hollywood. They all operate within the limits of Costa-Hawkins, If Costa-Hawkins is repealed, those ordinances would still remain in place. However, they could then be changed in a variety of ways.
The immediate effects of passing the initiative sponsored by the Housing Affordability Coalition (and who can oppose that?) would be negligible. Effects would not be evident until local jurisdictions came up with their own formulations if they should choose to do so. But those effects could be enormous. Simply put, passage of this initiative could have the result of reducing the number of rental units to be built and available in the California market. That is the belief of the opposition group, Californians for Responsible Housing (and who can be against that?). They argue that, in the long run, passing this initiative could be a very bad thing for tenants.
We're going to be hearing a lot from both sides. Be thoughtful. Ask questions. And vote.

Topics range from social media to podcasts to photography, videography and more. Student feedback has been very positive, many wishing it was a full year. The class encourages creativity and a willingness to learn about many topics students haven't studied before. "I like that it stretches normal learning," said Meredith Brown, a seventh-grader at Liberty Junior.
Classmate Maddie Henderson agrees. "I like all of the opportunities it gives us. It gives us a chance to explore things we've never tried before." Students have also had the opportunity to hear from guest speakers about different professions.
Members of Walker's class recently did something no other Lakota junior school student has done before: they hosted a #LakotaEdChat. The ed chats have become a staple for Lakota staff members on Wednesday evenings. What started as an opportunity for staff to come together and discuss different topics each week has grown to include participation from parents, community members and even students. While students hosting is not new, until now it has only been high school students facilitating the online discussions.
The group was shocked to see how many people participated in their chat, including Kate Law. "I was surprised to see some of my former teachers participating," she noted. The group was especially excited to see Ohio's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Paolo DeMaria, tweet to the ed chat that he had been following along.
The community is invited to participate, or just follow along, on Wednesday evenings. Search #LakotaEdChat at 8:00 p.m. to join the conversation. To view an archive of the Liberty Junior ed chat, click here. Pictured: Students in Moriah Walker's Media Design and Communication class hosted #LakotaEdChat on Oct. 10.

'First and foremost we are a dairy farm'
By Brian Moore
Fingal Ferguson on the farm at Gubbeen, Schull, where diversification seems to be a way of life for members of the family.
FOR the Ferguson family, getting the very best from the land at Gubbeen Farm has always been a driving passion.
Whether it's creating award-winning cheeses from their dairy herd, to smoking incredible bacon, salamis and sausages, growing chemical-free vegetables and fruit, to producing a traditional herbal tonic or even designing and forging handcrafted chefs' knives, all at their base outside Schull, the Fergusons have proven that there is no limit to what a farm enterprise can achieve.
'First and foremost we are a dairy farm,' Fingal Ferguson said.
'My father inherited the farm back in the early 1970s and, as he and my mother, Giana, looked to enhance the business, it was a logical step that took them from milk to making cheese.'
Giana, gave up the bright lights of London, married Tom Ferguson and took to a farming life in West Cork. With a 250-acre coastal dairy farm it seemed only logical that producing cheese from the milk already available on their doorstep was a natural way forward for the Fergusons and so Giana joined a number of pioneering West Cork women, who were all developing their own cheeses around the same time, and set up Gubbeen.
'My mother created the first batch of Gubbeen cheese at our kitchen table in 1975,' Fingal said.
'And, from there, as the cheese became more and more popular, they set up a little cheesemaking room, which has now grown to a full scale production facility with the milking parlour attached so that the milk from our herd has only a few metres to travel to the cheesemakers.'
With Gubbeen cheeses quickly becoming a firm favourite, not only with foodies and households alike but also with chefs across the country, a chance experiment with smoke lead the Fergusons to a new business, which was once again in keeping with their philosophy of getting the most from the food they produce on their farm.
'We used to get some of the cheeses smoked by a local fish smoker, Chris Jepson. When Chris decided to give up the business, he designed a special smoker for Gubbeen,' Fingal said.
'We've always had pigs on the farm and we began to experiment at first smoking bacon and then it grew from there into our salamis, chorizos, air dried hams and fresh sausages.'
Meanwhile, Clovis, Fingal's sister used her gardening skills to grow herbs and organic vegetables to flavour some of the salamis and sausages, while also selling her delicious produce at local farmers' markets. And now, Clovis has also found time to create a delicious drink called 'Jamu', which is mix of ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, tamarind, cinnamon, black pepper, honey, lemon and sea salt.
While all this work is going on, another Ferguson sibling, Rosie, keeps everyone organised and maintains the administration side of the farm enterprise.'The farmers' markets are still very important to us,' Fingal said.
'The markets are a fantastic way to try you produce, to see what people like or don't like and also to get feedback directly from your customer.'
And if creating and producing delicious local food wasn't enough, Fingal has also gained a well-deserved reputation as a master knife marker.
'I inherited my uncle's collection of knives; a beautiful selection from his travels around the world,' Fingal said.
'Of course, I damaged a few of them and decided I'd better learn how to repair them. From that point on, I found the whole process fascinating and, with a lot of help, I started making knives, as a hobby, in my spare time.'
Today, that hobby has grown into a business, which has had to stop taking orders as the waiting list for these handcrafted works of art has grown to over 300 people from across the globe. All of whom can expect to wait up to three years before they will see their knives delivered.
'A farm is a great place when it comes to developing businesses that not only complement each other but also add value to the food you produce everyday,' Fingal concluded.

Q: Android SetBackgroundResource & SetBackground not working pre lollipop I am developing my app using a Lollipop based avd where I was using SetBackgroundResource to set the background of a listview row using a custom drawable (layer-list). It works perfectly fine.
The LinearLayout xml row has a default defined background of blue.
Jelly Bean and Kit Kat, using SetBackgroundResource removes the default blue but it doesn't set it to the background drawable requested. I also tried SetBackground after altering minsdk from 15 to 16.
Still no joy.
((LinearLayout)v.getParent()).setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.border_purple);

I have also tried;
((LinearLayout)v.getParent()).setBackground(ContextCompat.getDrawable(context,R.drawable.border_orange));

Row xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/border_blue"
android:padding="12dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:id="@+id/layout_row">
<TextView
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/item_title"
    android:text=""
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:textColor="@color/primary_dark_material_light"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"/>
<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="2px"
    android:background="#D3DFE3" />
<TextView
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/item_byline"
    android:text=""
    android:background="#FFFFFF"/>
</LinearLayout>

A: After further investigation, it is working but it removed padding from the LinearLayout therefore, it seemed as it hadn't worked. I believe it also removed padding from the Layer-list as well.

The fencing was often behind fences, so it was very hard to get close enough to blur it out of focus … and then if there was a great spot, like where the tiger cubs were .. there were lots of people and bind weed growing up the fence… making it even harder.
To tell the story of the animals and not the crowds was also a challenge, so it was a question of looking for details… but then sometimes the only way you can get close was to shoot through glass … and with a days worth of fingerprints and reflective glass it was tricky.
What I would have given for an overcast day … a pair of wire cutters and permission to just get a little bit closer to the fence… but despite that I was delighted to be able to at least capture the tiger cubs!
This just proves why a photography can not stop reading, researching and learning … this was a great tip and the dehaze tool although increases the saturation significantly, it really does rescue the image!
