The Salamander's Tale
Posted byd.e.larsen.dvm November 9, 2020 November 9, 2020 Posted inCommunity, Pets, Veterinary MedicineTags:Cascadia State Park, Rough-Skinned Newt, Toxicity
Jake lifted his young son out of the pickup and handed him off to Sue as he opened the tailgate and let Bruiser jump out of the pickup bed.
They could already feel the cooling breeze coming from the river and providing some welcome relief from the Mid Willamette Valley's August heat.
Bruiser was excited, he had been here before, and he strained against Jake's hold on his collar while Jake struggled to attach a leash.
Sue was double-checking everything in her bag. She didn't want to make a trip up the bank to the pickup for some forgotten item. Finally, she was ready.
"Ok, let's get to the water," Sue said as she jostled Benny on her hip.
Bruiser strained at the end of the leash, trying to reach the trail leading down to the river. Jake had to lean back against the pull to keep from being pulled off his feet.
"Why don't you just let him go?" Sue asked.
"We don't know who is down there. I don't want to end the day with a dog fight."
They threaded their way down the trail to the river from the highway. The far shoreline was filled with people, kids, and dogs. This side was a little more challenging to get up and down from the road, but it was much less crowded for that very reason.
"I wish that the Cascadia State Park side was not so crowded," Sue said. "It is so much easier to get down to the river."
"We will enjoy the day so much more on this side," Jake said. "Bruiser can run off-leash, and we won't have to worry about all the dogs on the far bank."
There was a small beach with soft, warm sand on this side of the river. Everywhere else was just smooth bedrock that the river flowed over. Several large holes of deepwater offered prime swimming areas. They were connected with short rapids as the water cascaded over the shale.
The breeze coming up the river was most refreshing, and Sue spread the large beach towel out on the soft sand and sat down with Benny. The little beach was shaded by the large maple trees the lined the river, so she didn't have to worry about smearing sunblock on Benny.
"This feels so nice here. I wished we lived closer, so it wasn't such a chore to get here," Sue said.
"It would be nice," Jake said as he released Bruiser from the leash and started to wade into the water. "When I was young, and we lived Sweet Home, it was an easy trip. But from Albany, it just seems like it takes forever."
Jake dove into the deep pool. He popped up and looked back at Sue and Benny on the little beach. The cold water was a refreshing contrast to the valley heat.
Sue tried to get Benny to look at his father, and Bruiser was standing in the river with the water touching his chest. Being a Pit Bull, he was not a good swimmer and did not like the deep water.
Jake thought he would do a deep dive and then take Bruiser up the shallow water in the rapids above this hole. Jake dove to the bottom of the hole.
This was a hole carved into the smooth bedrock of the river. The hole's bottom was littered with large river gravel—rocks worn smooth from being tumbled down the river during the rainy season. As Jake turned to head for the surface, he noticed several trout feeding in the area where the water spilled into the deep hole. They seemed oblivious to his presence.
Jake returned to the bleach and grabbed Benny from his toys on the beach towel. He tossed him a few inches in the air. Jake would have thrown him high, but Sue would not allow that. Then he took Benny to the water's edge, put his feet in the water, and splashed some water on his bare belly.
"Would you play with Benny in the water while I take Bruiser up to the shallow water?" Jake asked Sue.
Sue set her book down and jumped up to take Benny. Jake motioned to Bruiser and headed up the stream toward the shallow water.
Bruiser plowed into the shallow water above the rapids. He splashed and ran, piling up a wake in front of his broad chest. Jake watched him and smiled. He liked this place so much as it reminded him of his days as a child. Few people knew of the little sandy beach. It was always like their little private spot.
Jake stood and surveyed the scene in front of him. The cool breeze coming up the river was in his face. Sue and Benny were playing in the water at the beach and the mass of people frolicking on the rocks at the deep holes down the river by the park. It was just about a perfect day, an ideal place.
Jake turned around and looked at Bruiser. Bruiser was standing in a shallow pool and had a yellow-bellied newt hanging from his mouth by its tail.
"Put that thing down!" Jake yelled at Bruiser.
Bruiser looked at him, then slurped the salamander into his mouth, chomped a time or two, and swallowed it.
"I hope that tasted good, you dumb dog," Jake said. "Come on, let's go back to the beach."
Jake turned and started back down the stream to where Sue had just started drying Benny off with a large beach towel.
He looked to make sure Bruiser was following. Bruiser was foaming at the mouth a little and shaking his head, scattering foam into the water on both sides of him.
"I told you to put that thing down, now look at you. Come on, let's go get you cleaned up."
Bruiser started to follow Jake down the stream, staggering a bit as he ran across the rocks.
"What in the world happened to Bruiser?" Sue asked as they approached the beach.
"He ate one of those salamanders that are all over here this time of the year. I think they call them newts."
"I seem to think that they might be poisonous. Just look at Bruiser now. He can hardly walk."
Jake turned to look at Bruiser. He was stumbling and staggering to keep up with him. His chest was covered with the thick white foam that he continued to shake out of his mouth.
"I will wash out his mouth. That should make it a little better."
"I don't think so. I think this is serious," Sue said. "I think we should take him to the vet. There is probably one in Sweet Home."
"Maybe you are right. Let's load up and run down there and have him checked."
Sue hastily packed her things into her bag and grabbed Benny, and started up the trail. Jake put the leash on Bruiser and gave it a tug. Bruiser did not respond.
Jake looked closely at Bruiser. Bruiser's eyes seemed to not focus on anything. He pulled on the leash again. Bruiser tried to take a step but fell face-first into the sand. Jake was anxious now.
He gathered Bruiser up in his arms and clambered up the trail to the pickup.
"He is getting worse by the minute," Jake said to Sue as he lowered the tailgate and slid Bruiser into the bed of the pickup. Bruiser looked up but did not try to stand. The pupils of his eyes were widely dilated, and he seemed to look without focus.
"Let's hurry. We can stop at the store and get directions and have them call for us," Sue said.
They loaded everything into the cab and sped off down the road to the store.
Sue ran into the little store. Joyce was behind the counter.
"Our dog swallowed a salamander, and he was foaming at the mouth and staggering by the time he got out of the water. I don't think he can stand now. Can you call the vet for us in Sweet Home and let them know that we are on our way."
Joyce gave Sue directions to the clinic and said she would call.
"You guys drive safe going down that road out there. The traffic is pretty heavy today."
Sue looked at Bruiser as she walked around the pickup to get in on the passenger side.
"He looks worse by the minute," Sue said. "She is going to call, so they will be waiting for us."
Jake pulled out onto the highway and turned on his emergency flashers. Then he pushed the gas pedal to the floor. It was going to be a challenging 13 miles.
Sandy took the call from Joyce.
"It must be bad," Joyce said. "She was really frantic. They should be there shortly if they don't crash on the way."
Sandy relayed the information to Terri and me.
"What do you for that?" Terri asked.
"Those newts are highly toxic. This is probably going to be a dead dog. There is nothing to be done. A young guy in Coos County swallowed one on a dare when they were partying on the river bank a few years ago. He died."
"So, these folks are going expect us to do something."
"Let's set up the endoscope. Maybe we can retrieve the thing from his stomach and reduce the dose. It will look like we are trying, but it is going to end with a dead dog.
When I was in school at Oregon State studying under Dr. Storm in the Zoology Department, he talked about one of his graduate students' studies on these newts in Western Oregon. They are called the Rough-Skinned Newt. They are very toxic around here, less so in some areas. I didn't know at the time, but the student was from Myrtle Point. Older than me by a few years, but he was in high school with my brother. We called him Butch. He is pretty much the expert on the newt."
We were all set up for Jake and Sue's arrival with Bruiser. They came through the door in a rush. Bruiser was limp in Jake's arms, Sue was carrying Benny on her hip. We guided them to the treatment table, where Jake laid him out on the table.
"I think he is dead," Jake said.
I checked, he was dead.
"We should have been faster," Jake said.
"I am sorry, Jake. This is a hard way to lose a friend, but being faster would have made no difference. Bruiser signed his death certificate when he ate the salamander. There is nothing to be done to treat this toxicity."
"Do we owe you anything?" Sue asked.
"No, not at this point. Do you want us to take care of him for you?" I asked.
Jake gathered Bruiser up in his arms, "No, we will take him home. We have a place to bury him."
With that, they were gone, almost as fast as they came.
"That was sad," Terri said.
"So many people have no idea those little things are so deadly. As a kid, we played with them all the time. I never heard of a problem with them until I was in school at Oregon State."

A sad tale. Thanks for the link. I've have into a few salamanders here, but I don't remember what they looked like enough to tell if they were this particular species. I have seen many garter snakes around the place though. I found on the Wikipedia page for tetrodotoxin that a monoclonal antibody specific to tetrodotoxin is in development by USAMRIID.
d.e.larsen.dvm says:
It is interesting that you men
Interesting that you mention garter snakes. In Butches research, the on species he found to be immune to the toxin was the garter snake.
Yes, an evolutionary arms race of sort between the two species. More species than I was aware of produce this toxin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrodotoxin
The antibody will be unlikely to be useful. In Sweet Home, in 40 years I saw 2 dogs die. Very unlikely to make it practical to have a treatment in the refrigerator that will be very expensive and probably outdate every couple of years. Plus the time factor is a big issue.

We lost a dog from salamanders in Bridge Oregon. Also lived near where the guy swallowed the salamander

Лорен Лефранк стала сценаристом, Ривз и продюсер «Бэтмена» Дилан Кларк — исполнительными продюсерами. Ранее они разрабатывали спин-офф-сериал о полиции Готэм-Сити, но в начале марта 2022 года работа над ним была приостановлена в пользу проектов об уже существующих персонажах комиксов; на тот момент среди их числа дольше всех в разработке находился проект о Пингвине. Тогда Ривз не был уверен в том, будет ли он режиссировать сериал, который, по его мнению, мог бы выйти перед сиквелом «Бэтмена» и связать свои события с возможным вторым фильмом. Вскоре после выхода «Бэтмена» в прокат HBO Max официально заказал мини-сериал под рабочим названием «», а Лефранк была подтверждена как шоураннер и исполнительный продюсер. Дэниел Пипски и Адам Кассан из компании 6th & Idaho тоже были назначены исполнительными продюсерами, а Рафи Крон стал соисполнительным продюсером.

В июле 2022 года исполнитель роли Пингвина в фильме Колин Фаррелл сказал, что Ривз не будет снимать сериал, а вместо этого выступит консультантом по сценариям и примет участие в выборе режиссёров. В октябре Крэйг Зобел был нанят режиссёром первых двух эпизодов и исполнительным продюсером. На тот момент было неясно, будут ли проекты Ривза в рамках его вселенной «Бэтмена» контролироваться Джеймсом Ганном и , руководителями новоявленной компании DC Studios, которая должна курировать создание всех экранизаций DC, в том числе телевизионных, либо они окажутся под контролем сопредседателей Warner Bros. Pictures Майкла де Луки и Памелы Эбди. Вскоре Ганн подтвердил, что DC Studios будет курировать все проекты, и что он уже обсуждал с Ривзом его работы. Анонсируя первые проекты новой медиафраншизы «Вселенная DC» (DCU) в январе 2023 года, Ганн заявил, что все будущие проекты, не связанные с франшизой, будут выходить под лейблом . Издательство DC Comics схожим образом использует импринт Elseworlds, выпуская истории, не связанные с основными сюжетными линиями. Под этой торговой маркой будут выходить все проекты вселенной Бэтмена от Ривза, в том числе «Пингвин». К февралю 2023 года Билл Карраро стал исполнительным продюсером. Сериал будет состоять из восьми эпизодов и длиться от шести до восьми часов.

Сценарий
Действие начинается через неделю после событий «Бэтмена», в финале которого Готэм-Сити был затоплен, Фаррелл назвал проект «очень запутанной, очень тёмной историей». Сюжет будет разворачиваться незадолго до событий фильма «Бэтмен. Часть 2» (2025), сиквела «Бэтмена», и сообщил, что «Пингвин» сформирует «малую часть структуры» планов, связанных с фильмом. Кларк рассказал, что в сериале будет показан восход Оза к власти, и сравнил шоу с фильмом «Лицо со шрамом» (1983). Он добавил, что сериал задумывался как отдельная от «Бэтмена» история и должен усилить ощущения от просмотра фильма. Ривз назвал дополнительным источником вдохновения фильм «Долгая Страстная пятница» (1980) и сказал, что сериал расскажет об Американской мечте, где Оза «недооценивают… никто не считает его способным на что-либо, [но он] верит в себя при помощи внутреннего насилия». Лефранк написала сценарий пилота к началу марта 2022 года, когда был завершён сюжет первого сезона, а позже написала сценарии к остальным эпизодам. Фаррелл прочёл первый эпизод к середине октября 2022 года, назвал его приятным и необычным и был взволнован более детальным исследованием «потрёпанного Оза», такого, каким его представлял Ривз. Сара Обри, глава отдела оригинального контента HBO Max, сказала, что цель сериала — исследовать жизнь Оза, укоренившуюся в улицах Готэма, и описала его как «мошенника и стратега со своими амбициями».

Подбор актёров
В сентябре 2021 года, когда стало известно о разработке сериала, Колину Фарреллу было предложено повторить роль Пингвина из «Бэтмена», хотя у него не было соответствующих контрактных обязательств. К декабрю Фаррелл официально присоединился к проекту как исполнитель главной роли и исполнительный продюсер. Он сказал, что работа с Лефранк была схожа с опытом, полученным от работы с Ривзом над «Бэтменом». В марте 2022 года Ривз сказал, что в сериале могут появиться и другие персонажи из фильма. В конце октября Кристин Милиоти получила роль . В феврале 2023 года  получил неназванную роль; предполагалось, что он сыграет подростка, который становится другом и личным шофёром Кобблпота; тогда же свои роли получили Майкл Келли, Шохре Агдашлу и Дирдри О'Коннелл. В следующем месяце Клэнси Браун получил повторяющуюся роль Сальваторе Марони. Позднее в том же месяце Майкл Зеген, , Скотт Коэн и Тео Росси получили роли второго плана, причём Зегену досталась роль .

Дизайн
Гримёр «Бэтмена» , по словам Фаррелла, вернётся для работы над сериалом. Фаррелл посчитал свой грим более утончённым и позволяющим ему свободно выходить за рамки своих черт лица.

Съёмки
Съёмки начались 1 марта 2023 года в Нью-Йорке под рабочим названием . Планируется, что процесс продлится от пяти до шести месяцев и будет завершён к середине 2023 года.

Премьера
Сериал «Пингвин» выйдет на HBO Max и будет состоять из восьми эпизодов.

To represent real-world objects such as an account or a payment in software we construct units of code, called objects, which assemble both data and operations that can act on those data.
Note: this concept is in turn an evolution of the idea of programming with abstract data types (Liskov and Zilles, 1974), which developed in the 1970s.
For instance, an object representing a bank account in software may include both a variable holding the account's current balance and a number of operations for credit and debit transactions. Moreover, we expect that only those operations can access the data directly: other software wanting to affect the current balance would have to make use of those operations via an established interface. This particular feature of an object is called encapsulation.
What do you think the advantages of encapsulation might be?
Encapsulation provides an explicit boundary separating information about which operations are available and information on how such operations are implemented. In our example, outside the account object, available operations are advertised via their interface only, which indicates how they can be invoked. The implementation of the operations, i.e. how they materially access and modify data, and how the data are represented through variables, are not visible outside the object. In this way, as long as the interface remains unchanged, the operation implementation or the data representation can be modified without affecting other software.
In most programming languages an object is defined as an instance of a homogeneous class, with the class providing an abstraction for the common characteristics of all its instances. For example, a class-defining current-account object might indicate that each account will have a distinguishing account number and a balance, and that money can be withdrawn or deposited; on the other hand, each of its instances will have its own distinct account number and balance reflecting how much money is in the corresponding account.
What do you think the advantages of distinguishing classes and objects might be?
Classes allow for more succinct code and foster code reuse and flexibility. By defining a class we are defining the properties and behaviour of all the objects of that class that are created during software operation; when a change is needed, only the class code needs to change, with such changes automatically propagated to all its instances.
No serious software system consists of a single object. Instead there will be a collection of objects which collaborate to achieve the functionality of the whole system. Collaboration occurs when one object requests a service from another object in order to perform some task. To fulfil a particular collaboration, each object takes on a different role: the object that makes the request can be seen as the client, and the object that receives the request (and provides the service in response) as the supplier. The request is communicated to the supplier from the client by message passing based on the objects' interfaces: the client sends a message to the supplier which on receipt executes a corresponding operation; when the supplier has completed the execution of its operation it returns a message answer to the client. Both the message and message answer may convey data between the objects, with the interface specifying the type of the arguments and the result of the operation.
Object collaboration through message passing is at the core of computation in an object-oriented software system, and many forms of collaboration can be forged between objects. In software development, a range of principles and techniques have been defined to design and implement object collaborations resulting in quality software.

Respiratory disease cause more deaths in Somerset than any other condition type apart from Cancers and Circulatory diseases. In the five-year period of 2008-12, there were 3,422 deaths caused by respiratory disease (13% of all deaths in Somerset).
Respiratory infection is associated with social inequalities in all age groups and particularly in children.
In Somerset the population in the lower quintiles of deprivation have a greater frequency of emergency admission to hospital. Emergency admissions for children due to lower respiratory infections are increasing in Somerset.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most common respiratory diseases and usually affects those over the age of 35. At March 2013, Somerset had a higher prevalence of COPD (1.9%) compared to the South West average of 1.7%. For 2016/17, Somerset's emergency hospital admission rate for COPD (342/100,000 people aged 35 and over) was significantly lower than the England value (417/100,000).
Immunisations are available to protect against certain respiratory infections. Uptake is especially important for vulnerable groups such as older people and those with compromised immune systems. In Somerset, 'flu and pneumococcal vaccination rates are higher than the national average however there are still many people who could benefit by receiving protection through vaccination.

Josefina Vidal, director general of the US Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, head of the Cuban delegation, told reporters that the dialogue was held in a "respectful, professional and constructive" climate, while the head of the US delegation, Roberta Jacobson, called it "positive and productive".
The Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs said in a brief statement that they had discussed in concrete and real terms the measures to be taken to restore diplomatic relations and the opening of embassies.
Jacobson added that actions have been taken to implement the commitments of the President of the United States relating to this subject, and acknowledged it will be a very long process, because it is not limited to the restoration of diplomatic relations and the opening of embassies in each country, and she said that "today we have taken new steps in this direction."
Both diplomatic agreed that this process must be guided by the principles of international Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations.
Vidal said the Cuban side reiterated the readiness of the Government of Cuba to continue to hold a respectful dialogue, based on sovereign equality and reciprocity, without prejudice to national independence and self-determination of peoples.
She also said it would be difficult to explain how they are going to restore diplomatic relations if the US doesn't remove Cuba from the list of countries that sponsor terrorism, and voiced her concern for the lack of a bank the Cuban interest section in Washington has had for over a year to conduct its business.
HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 22 (acn) Cuba reiterated its willingness to keep holding respectful talks with the United States, based on sovereign equality and reciprocity, with no undermining of its national independence and self-determination, said the general director of the United States Office at the Cuban Foreign Ministry Josefina Vidal in statements to reporters during talks on the reestablishment of bilateral diplomatic relations between Washington and Havana.
Vidal, who heads the Cuban delegation to the talks, ratified the Cuban government's commitment to the improvement of bilateral relations and its will to keep advancing towards their normalization.
She said that bilateral diplomatic relations and the opening of embassies must be based on the principles of international law as established by the UN Charter and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. For Cuba this stands for mutual respect for the political, economic and social systems of the two countries and for the avoidance of any form of interference with the internal affairs or threats to the political, economic and cultural foundations of both states, the official added.
Nobody can expect that Cuba will ever renounce its principles, Vidal stressed and added that these efforts aim at establishing a civilized relationship between two countries with profound differences and different conceptions on many issues, but that can get along in a civilized and peaceful manner, by recognizing and respecting such differences and at the same time, and as neighbors identify areas of common interest to develop cooperation in the benefit of the two nations, the region and the world, the official noted.
Josefina Vidal said that the two parties agreed on the steps forward to formalize the reestablishment of diplomatic relations through the exchange of notes in an upcoming date. However, she said that it would be difficult to explain that such reestablishment of relations has taken place while Cuba continues to unfairly be on the US black list of states sponsors of international terrorism.
Vidal added that they told the US delegation that in order to open embassies the current financial situation facing the Cuban Interest Section in Washington must be resolved. She referred to the impossibility for the US office to find a bank that provides its financial functions due to the US blockade.
This will be a long and complex process that will require work from the two parties, who will have to solve pending problems on the bilateral agenda, she noted and stressed that in order to normalize bilateral relations the lifting of the US blockade is crucial.
We recognize the willingness of the President of the United States to sustain responsible and honest debate at the US Congress to achieve the end of the blockade, said Josefina Vidal.
HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 22 (acn) The round of talks at the highest level in the past decades between Cuba and the United States to restore diplomatic relations will start in less than two hours in Havana city.
Josefina Vidal, director-general of the US department at the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leads the Cuban delegation, while Roberta Jacobson, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs heads the US delegation.
During this meeting the two countries will address the principles and steps to be taken to restore diplomatic relations and the opening of their respective embassies in each country.
They will also tackle their cooperation to fight epidemics, terrorism, drug trafficking and other issues of mutual interest and benefit.
On January 21, 2015, a new round of migration talks was held between US and Cuban delegations, which were headed by Edward Alex Lee, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, and Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, Director-General of the US Division at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, respectively.
During the meeting, which was held amidst a constructive environment, different aspects related to the migration relations were evaluated, including the compliance with the accords in force, the issuance of visas for immigrants and temporary visits, as well as the results of the actions carried out by both parties to combat illegal migration, human smuggling and document fraud. The Cuban delegation expressed its satisfaction over the recent celebration of a technical meeting between the US Coast Guard Service and Cuba's Border Patrol Guard with the purpose of discussing measures aimed at a more efficient implementation of the Migration Accords and the Search and Rescue Procedures adopted by both countries.
In view of the continued implementation of the "wet foot/dry foot" policy and of the Cuban Adjustment Act, the Cuban delegation reiterated its concern about the validity of these policies, which are contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Migration Accords and continue to be the main encouragement to illegal migration, alien smuggling and the irregular entry into the US territory from third countries of Cuban citizens who have traveled abroad by legal means.
The Cuban representatives ratified their deep concern about the situation faced by the Cuban Interests Section in Washington, particularly its Consular Office, which, as a result of the implementation of the blockade, has been deprived from all banking services for almost one year now, which seriously hampers the provision of the consular services that are offered to Cuban citizens residing in the United States as well as to US citizens who are interested in visiting Cuba.
The Cuban delegation reaffirmed its willingness to continue holding these talks.
He said that the round that began at nine o'clock today at the Conventions Palace in Havana, is attended by all members of delegations, headed by Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, director general of United States Department at the Foreign Ministry, and assistant secretary Bureau for Western Hemisphere Affairs, State Department, Edward Alex Lee.
At this point, he said, we are talking about migration trends between Cuba and the United States, how migration flows between the two countries are behaving, and "we agreed to disagree on some issues," specifically, as we have said, we have serious concerns about the permanence of the Cuban Adjustment Act and the policy of "dry foot-wet foot", the main stimulus for illegal emigration from Cuba.
He said that the persistence of these measures violate the spirit and letter of the migration agreements, whose compliance is being revised, "... we talked fluently, with openness and constructive approach although we have some differences in approaches to certain migratory phenomena ... "and stressed that" ... it has been a profitable tomorrow ... ".
The first of three rounds of talks between delegations of Cuba and the United States to address migration issues and the process of restoration of diplomatic relations, and other bilateral issues is taking place behind closed doors this morning.
The talks began this Wednesday with the twenty-eighth meeting on migration issues, to evaluate the progress of the agreements in this respect and the actions taken by both parties to tackle illegal migration and human trafficking, among other aspects of interest.

Under the smoke-free legislation, can an employer continue to provide a smoking room for employees, so long as no smoke enters the surrounding rooms and corridors?
The smoke-free legislation makes it clear that all enclosed or substantially enclosed public places and workplaces must be smoke free. This means that employers cannot have a smoking room for employees, or for anyone else.
In certain exempt premises, such as residential or care homes, it is possible to designate residents' bedrooms, or another room, as smoking rooms for residents. Bedrooms where smoking is allowed must be identified and recorded in writing. The record must be available for inspection by an enforcing officer. If a room other than a resident's bedroom is designated as a smoking room, this is the only purpose for which it can be used. It is also possible for establishments such as hotels and guesthouses to designate bedrooms as smoking rooms. A written record of these designated rooms must be kept and guests must be informed of the smoking status of these rooms.
This resource is kept under review and updated in line with developments.


Since being taken over by their new German Owner, Cranleigh based company Artifex decided to relocate their main manufacturing and admin offices further south to two different sites, namely Billingshurst for their admin office and Winterpick for their main manufacturing plant.
Sitec IT has worked with Artifex for over six years providing IT support, new computer equipment and solutions and website services including hosting of their main website and email at their head office and manufacturing plant in Surrey.
Artifex needed to be sure the move would be seamless, without any downtime or disruption to their internet connection and office production process. What's more, following the move, the more remote site at Winterpick needed to be able to access the data and systems which were to be held on the main server in Billingshurst.
Project management was headed up by Simon Isherwood who liaised with Artifex's Sales Director to ensure the move ran smoothly from start to finish. He worked closely with the company to ensure all the requirements were fully scoped out and to identify any risks to ensure there were plans in place to deal with any issues as they arose.
In advance of the move, Sitec made sure the cabling was installed throughout the new admin office with data points put in the correct locations and ensured that the server was sited well away from those working on a day-to-day basis.
Sitec also provided integration services for the company's server, broadband and computers. Sitec then set up a secure site-to-site VPN between the two offices allowing access to the main production and sales system in Billingshurst from the remote location.
As the project was managed by Sitec both before, during and after the move, Artifex had none of the extra headache caused by an office relocation and the demands it makes on IT. It also meant the staff at Artifex could just turn up on the Monday after the move and get on with their work, with no disruption..

Q: Databinding a ObservableCollection in MVVM I have a ListView with a Datatemplate that holds a list of Movies. It is databinded to a ObservableColection but whenever I edit the Movie.Name it does not update the ListView even though "Name" is called in my PropertyChangedEventHandler is called with "Name".
I add 2 "Movie"s to my collection in my initializer and these are shown correct (Klovn the Movie, Taken)
So when I click Edit it should change the text of the selected movie and change the Name of it to "Test" and is is changed but the change is not shown in the ListView but if I output Collection with a foreach then Name is Test.

Movie.cs
using System;

namespace MovieDB3.Models
{
    class Movie
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public double Rating { get; set; }
        public DateTime Release { get; set; }
        public TimeSpan Runtime { get; set; }
        public String Trailer { get; set; }
    }
}

A: INotifyPropertyChanged needs to be Implemented in your Movie class, also avoid raising the event manually.
(Right now you are telling the View that the ViewModel's property "Name" changed, which does not exist)

What your class might look like:
public class Movie : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _name = String.Empty;
    public string Name
    {
        get { return _name; }
        set
        {
            if (_name != value)
            {
                _name = value;
                NotifyPropertyChanged("Name");
            }
        }
    }

    //...All the other properties (the same way)...

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

What your changing method is reduced to:
    public void setMovieName(Movie movie, string newName)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("CurrentName: " + movie.Name);
        movie.Name = newName; //The notification is now raised automatically in the setter of the property in the movie class
        Console.WriteLine("NewName: " + movie.Name);
    }

A: I think the Movie itself needs to implement INotifyPropertyChanged.  You are notifying via the wrong object (the viewmodel).

A: You need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged on your Movie class as well.
The notification that you are sending in the setMovieName method does not really mean anything - it's just a "property" name.  It could just as well be "Foo," and your event handler will say "Foo".
What you need, instead, is for the Movie object itself to be updated.
Probably the best implementation will be for you to create an abstract class that notifies INotifyPropertyChanged, and then derive your ViewModel and your Movie classes from it, because both should implement it.
You will be binding properties from the ViewModel, and you will also be binding observable objects (i.e. Movie) inside that ViewModel.

A: Currently, you're having your MainViewModel raise the NotifyPropertyChanged event for Name changing.  Instead, your Movie instances should be raising those events, since your Movie objects are what have that property bound.
