Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Arcanum, Ohio?
There are many drug rehabilitation facilities possibilities to people residing in the Arcanum area. You should understand all the varieties of treatment possibilities that are offered in Arcanum, AB., in order to choose the appropriate treatment option for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right drug treatment program in Arcanum is the central element in the process of treating of substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will help ensure you understand your numerous rehab options allowing an individual to have the best possibility of an effective outcome.
Let's have a look at the various drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Arcanum, Ohio options that coincide with the circumstances of the person in search of rehab.
Inpatient drug rehabilitation in Arcanum, AB. is often a rehab choice ideal for many who need health-related treatment for the duration of rehabilitation or individuals with substantial drug abuse histories. Women and men will experience physical and mental dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient drug treatment in Arcanum is considered the most effective rehabilitation option in nearly all scenarios. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, men and women will usually struggle to make a full recovery with the minimal services made available from outpatient treatment facilities in Arcanum, Ohio where drugs are still easily available when they leave the outpatient center. Likewise, men and women in rehabilitation who receive outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Arcanum continue to be prone to negative relationships and circumstances which may compromise their process of recovery. When someone lives with an abusive companion or continues to maintain relationships that entail drug abuse, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehab will be in vain. This is the reason in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Arcanum, AB. will most certainly generate more tangible results that may prove lasting unlike an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program where benefits are often very minimal and short-lived.
In Arcanum there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug treatment. Short-term is a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Arcanum, Ohio is more extensive and treatment can last 90-120 days on average. This is an ideal environment for clients because it is a secure drug free setting where they can recover both physically and mentally without distraction. Preferably, people will continue inside a long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation program in Arcanum for the maximum time frame allowed, to enable them to handle anything which can jeopardize their sobriety when they leave treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can take 2-3 weeks by itself, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug treatment in Arcanum will be time spent well and much more efficient than short-term centers.
The most important component of all if you or someone you love has a substance abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of trained addiction specialists and get an evaluation and treatment options to ensure the greatest chance for a recovery.


Can anyone tell me what the huge black post next to HOP station is? It looks like an upside down lamp post. I've always wondered what it was when walking past.
Does it read car number plates?
I cant see any camera equipment on it. I have attached a photo of the post.

Why does cheese make you sweat?
Why does cheese make you sweat? Sometimes if I have too much cheddar, I start feeling sweat creep across my brow. Is this just me?
The reason I believe that this isn't just you is that there's something that's been known about by pharmacologists for a long time called the cheese reaction. This was first noticed when scientists invented a type of anti-depressant called monoamineoxidase inhibitors, which block up this enzyme monoamineoxidase. This enzyme usually breaks down things that contain amines or nitrogen-containing groups in them. The cheese reaction that people experienced when they ate cheese while on these drugs was that they had very high blood pressure, their heart went very fast and those are all actions of adrenaline. This is because cheese has something in it that acts a bit like adrenaline, and the key one is called tyromine. I wonder whether when you eat a bit of cheese, it stimulates the part of the nervous system that adrenaline would usually stimulate, and thus causes sweating.

The Brooklyn Nets season took another down turn Saturday.
Center Brook Lopez suffered a broken foot and is reportedly out for the season. The injury reportedly occured during the Nets' 121-120 overtime loss to the 76ers on Friday.
The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors.
Lopez is averaging 20.7 points and six rebounds for the Nets, who are 11th in the Eastern Conference at 9-17. Lopez broke the same foot in 2011 that also required surgery.
The Nets made a splash in the offseason, acquiring Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from the Celtics in the hopes of bringing a title to Brooklyn. But injuries and reported issues between new coach Jason Kidd and assistant Lawrence Frank have derailed their season.
They have Andray Blatche and Reggie Evans as possible replacements on the bench, or could move Garnett to the center position, as the Boston Celtics did last season.

Shark bites Ormond teen's hand in New Smyrna
Tony Holt
tony.holt@news-jrnl.com
An Ormond Beach teen was bitten on the hand Saturday by a shark in the area of New Smyrna Beach, according to the Volusia County Beach Safety.
The bite occurred sometime around 11:44 a.m. near the jetty. The 17-year-old was surfing in the area and was in waist-deep water when he was bitten, said Capt. Mike Berard, a Beach Safety spokesman.
The teen was not seriously injured and his parents took him to a local hospital, according to the county.
The victim never saw the shark in the water, Berard said.
The bite was the seventh reported in Volusia County so far this year.
Three months ago a 19-year old surfer was bitten on the other side of the inlet. Senior Beach Safety Capt. Tamra Marris said at the time that the flailing limbs of surfers can be mistaken for a fish in distress from the shark's vantage point.
Though still rare, this type of surfer-shark interaction is in part responsible for why Volusia County is often considered the shark bite capital of the world. Nearly half of the 32 reported shark bites in Florida last year were surfers.
Among the other six shark bites this year was a 58-year-old man, who was bitten on the foot while surfing in New Smyrna Beach in March. April saw four shark bites, including a 16-year-old swimmer in Daytona Beach, a Georgia woman bitten on the thigh in New Smyrna Beach, a 35-year-old woman bitten on the leg in Ormond Beach, and an unidentified person who suffered a minor bite on the foot in Daytona Beach Shores.

Q: Problemas con el código Python de Google YouTube Update. Necesito Opiniones! Llevo un par de días intentando hacer que este codigo funcione. Antes que nada decir que no tengo ni ídea de python, solo llevo dos o tres días con él, así que perdonenme si desmuestro mi ignorancia al expresarme.
El tema es que queria usar el código de python publicado por google para actualizar videos de YouTube y me está dando problemas.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/update?hl=es-419
Se exacatamente donde está el problema pero no logro solucionarlo por mi falta de experiencia con python.
La función que me está causando problemas es esta (la he simplificado un poco para ir directamente al problema en cuestión):
def update_video(youtube, args):

  # Call the API's videos.list method to retrieve the video resource.
  videos_list_response = youtube.videos().list(
    id=args.video_id,
    part='snippet'
  ).execute()
  print ('Call the APIs videos.list method to retrieve the video resource')

  print(videos_list_response);

  # If the response does not contain an array of 'items' then the video was not found.
  if not videos_list_response['items']:
    print ('Video "%s" was not found.' % args.video_id)
    sys.exit(1)

  print ('Copiando todos los metadatos viejos del video')
  videos_list_snippet = videos_list_response['items'][0]['snippet']

  print('Cambiando el Valor del título del video');
  videos_list_snippet['title'] = "Título Nuevo"
  print(videos_list_snippet);

  # Update the video resource by calling the videos.update() method.
  videos_update_response = youtube.videos().update(
    part='snippet',
    body=dict(
      snippet=videos_list_response,
      id=args.video_id
    )).execute()

  print('The updated video metadata is:\n' +
        'Title: ' + videos_update_response['snippet']['title'] + '\n')

cuando imprimo la respuesta de Youtube
print(videos_list_response);

Lo que obtengo son los metadatos actuales del video de esta forma (creo que es una lista con etiquetas o algo así)
{'publishedAt': '2018-04-15T23:40:19.000Z', 'channelId': 'xxxxx', 'title': 'Titulo Viejo', 'description': "Algo", 'defaultAudioLanguage': 'zxx'}

Cuando hago esto para remplazar el titulo viejo por el nuevo
  print('Cambiando el Valor del título del video');
  videos_list_snippet['title'] = "Titulo nuevo"
  print(videos_list_snippet);

en principio parace que todo va perfecto porque lo que obtengo es esto
{'publishedAt': '2018-04-15T23:40:19.000Z', 'channelId': 'xxxxx', 'title': 'Titulo nuevo', 'description': "Algo", 'defaultAudioLanguage': 'zxx'}

El problema viene cuando intento ejecutar esto:
  # Update the video resource by calling the videos.update() method.
  videos_update_response = youtube.videos().update(
    part='snippet',
    body=dict(
      snippet=videos_list_snippet,
      id=args.video_id
    )).execute()

Si lo pongo así obtengo este error (Bat Request - The request metadata is invalid)
An HTTP error 400 occurred:
b'{\n "error": {\n  "errors": [\n   {\n    "domain": "youtube.video",\n    "reason": "invalidVideoMetadata",\n    "message": "The request metadata is invalid.",\n    "locationType": "other",\n    "location": "body"\n   }\n  ],\n  "code": 400,\n  "message": "The request metadata is invalid."\n }\n}\n'

Y Si lo pongo así, dandole exactamente los mismos datos que me dio YouTube:
  # Update the video resource by calling the videos.update() method.
  videos_update_response = youtube.videos().update(
    part='snippet',
    body=dict(
      snippet=videos_list_response,
      id=args.video_id
    )).execute

Obtengo este error (Bat Request - The request metadata specifies an invalid or empty video title)
An HTTP error 400 occurred:

Todo esto me lleva a pensar que pueden estar ocurriendo una de estas cosas.
1º- O estoy seteando mal los valores de videos_list_snippet
2º- YouTube me mandó videos_list_response en un formato incorrecto
3º- La función youtube.videos().update() está funcionando mal
Cualquier ayuda, sugerencia, u opinión me será de gran ayuda!!

A: He hecho esto y me ha funcionado!! :-)
  new_vars={'title': args.title, 'description': args.description, 'categoryId' : '10'}

  # Update the video resource by calling the videos.update() method.
  videos_update_response = youtube.videos().update(
    part='snippet',
    body=dict(
      snippet=new_vars,
      id=args.video_id
    )).execute()

Tambien funciona si se hace así
  new_vars={}
  new_vars['title'] = args.title
  new_vars['description'] = args.description
  new_vars['categoryId'] = "10

Perfecto!!

I have a neighbor who likes to sweep. Well, at least from the looks of things he does. The fact is that he sweeps a lot. He lives two doors down from us. Not only is his yard spotless, and his driveway and sidewalk are swept but he sweeps the street in front of his house. We noticed that when we first moved in, he would sweep in front of his house, then sweep in front of our next door neighbors house and then he drew a line with his broom at our property line and that is where he stopped. No further. We heard from the neighbors that he didn't like the people that lived in our house before us. In fact we heard lots of things from the neighbors about him and we watched a lot. Other than sweeping or raking, we saw little of him.
Years ago, I worked for a former car sales man. And this guy wasn't just your average car sales man. Mr Martin had owned a dealership that was hugely successful. He was one of the first Mercedes-Benz dealers in the USA but he didn't stock the car. If you wanted one, you would order one and the built it just for you. When the car was finished he would lead a tour to the factory in Germany and you would pick up your car there, drive it around Europe to see the sights and then drop it off at the docks to have it shipped back to your home. It wasn't something that happened overnight but it was hugely successful.
As his business grew, so did his pride till a series of events began to drive him back to God. Soon he had sold his business and was when I met him, he was selling lifestyle change. And he was a changed man.
And he used to tell me how Christ used the same methods to gain success as a sales man uses to sell a car. And then he would recite the Five Steps of a Sale. (from Dale Carnegie).
He knew them like the back of his hand. In fact, it was nearly on the back of his hand because he used his fingers to remember them.
Attention: "The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good." He got there attention.
Interest: "He showed His sympathy for them" He showed genuine interest in them.
Conviction: "ministered to their needs." He brought them to conviction by ministering to their needs.
Desire: "won their confidence." He brought them to desire by winning their confidence.
Close: "Then He bade them, 'Follow Me.'" Then he sealed the deal.
Wow… this is what life comes down to it. Where the rubber meets the road. I certainly want me life to be a reflection of that. A reflection of Him.
Six years have gone by and the neighbor still sweeps the street. I've never seen the point of sweeping the street but I've started doing it myself. However it's not always convenient and I don't always make it out there. But I try and it's the only chance I get to talk to the neighbor.
He no longer sweeps the "line in the dirt" when he reaches our property. He usually sweeps all of our section of street too.


Come in and purchase a flight today. Our Maple Brown Ale is now on tap!
We have 3 other beers on tap: Golden Ale, Tripel, and a Vanilla Porter.
In 2014, the J'ville team planted a small hop yard containing two varieties of hops: Cascade and Newport. Ninety plants of each variety was planted to see how hops would do on the same property as Honora's vineyard.
We are so excited you are interested in having our beer on tap. Take a look at our beer list and contact Janice for availability and prices .


When it comes to selecting sock yarn. Half the time, I end up with colors I love, (but match almost nothing in my wardrobe)--the other half of the time, I buy sock yarn on sale, in colors that don't really send me. Then I don't notice till the socks are knit—how well they match this, and that, and so many things I own.
Take the secret sock(just finished) I didn't realize till they were done, that the yarn is a perfect match for a print skirt that I own. Really, if I had the yarn custom dyed to match, it couldn't have been a better match.
Now I am thinking about knitting a second version of the secret socks design, in a different yarn, and adding these socks to my personal stock pile!
I should look and see if there is more of this yarn available--(There is–in the Smiley's on line store-at twice the price) ... A small scarf would be just the thing—paired with a solid top, it would be gorgeous—except the skirt is getting loose, and do I want to alter it? (And do I want to plan to knit yet another scarf?!) Savvy shoppers might know that Filatura Lanarota is a name Plymouth Yarns uses discounted yarns--(Fashion Toes= Happy Feet)--even the color numbers are the same--the secret socks are color 11.
Given that I had to buy 10 skeins, it made sense to buy 2 of each color—whether or not I really liked the colors. (I actually bought more—and shared some skeins purchased with a friend, so I ended up with some extras--3 skeins of color 10 became my Leafy Vine scarf)-Plus I still have 2 more skeins for a pair of socks someday.
It happens all the time—I find (and buy) beautiful sock yarn—in PINK (I have so much pink sock yarn from bright pinks to soft pastels, in solids and in prints) and virtually no pink clothing. In CORAL ( I LOVE coral!) Too bad what little clothing I have in that color is summer wear and rarely wear socks in the summer.
I have –already—a pair of orange socks—a good six year old and never worn yet.. I have NOTHING in orange to wear with them. But somehow, in addition to the already knit socks, I also have 3 full skeins of orange sock yarn in my stash—OK--so one skein was remaindered, and only $0.50--(and I couldn't pass it up!) but really, more orange?
I have several pairs of sock that have some orange in them, too--Like the ROY G BIV socks, or my Mast Socks, or (the list is long! just look at my sock collection on Ravelry!) —So should I ever buy anything orange, I do have socks to match. Not to mention, I have skeins of both the Toffee and Taffy color ways of Sock Ease, both of which have some orange highlights.
I am going to have to re-think some of my choices for socks for the coming year. I like having sock that match my clothes—And I already have lots of wild and crazy socks in beautiful colors--but I hardly ever wear them! Even now, while I am excited about my black eyed suzy socks, I have to admit, if it weren't for the green—the sock would match nothing!
OK, so this years sock plans included a pair of leafy lace socks in Lion Brand Sock Ease—color green apple—a color I am not really enamored with. It's more a dark olive than a apple green--but green? My wardrobe is full of greens; both muted and multi color greens prints outfits that will go with this yarn. Why do I like green for clothing and think it ho-hum for socks?
I also have a lot of blue socks—but not nearly enough to match all the denim that I own—I have blue and denim fabric too, so my new wardrobe will have a lot of blue too, (some green, too, now that I think about it) I have a some blue yarns, too, but some how, it never catches my fancy—Not the way other colors do.
The just emptied sock kit bag (that held the secret socks) is going to be stuffed with this yarn. I haven't planned what sort of socks I will knit with this yarn (Reynold's Swizzle/discontinued) but at least I know, cobalt blue will end up being useful socks that go with clothes I own and wear!
Come to think of it.. I have two more skeins of Swizzle—one in a neutral light grey, and one in a functional forest green... guess I don't always buy the wrong color sock yarn.
Oh, yeah, the Black & White cookie socks? Well they are now 2 inches along (vs yesterday's 1 inch) Not so much different...I photograph them again in a day or two, when the progress is more dramatic.
Ok, you've made me officially insane by showing us those Roy G BIV socks and the Lion Brand Sock Ease stuff. I know you are a kind person so it's not your fault.

Estońska deklaracja niepodległości (także Manifest do ludu Estonii, est. Manifest kõigile Eestimaa rahvastele) – akt proklamujący powstanie niepodległej Republiki Estonii, wydany 24 lutego 1918.

Początkowo planowano go ogłosić 21 lutego, ostatecznie jednak zrobiono to 23 lutego wieczorem w Parnawie (Pärnu), a następnego dnia w stolicy, Tallinnie.

Deklarację ogłoszono po wycofaniu się z Estonii Rosji, gdy kraj znalazł się pod administracją niemiecką. Niemcy nie uznali od razu estońskiej deklaracji niepodległości i dopiero po rewolucji w Niemczech, w połowie listopada 1918, formalnie przekazali władzę rządowi estońskiemu. Dopiero zaś 2 lutego 1920, po wojnie z bolszewikami zawarto traktat w Tartu, stwierdzający rosyjskie uznanie niepodległości Estonii. Nowe państwo uzyskało powszechne uznanie międzynarodowe.

Dzień 24 lutego jest obchodzony w Estonii jako Dzień Niepodległości.

Thanks for publishing the fascinating piece on Dr. Alisa Kauffman ["House Dentist," May|June 2017]. It's always refreshing to find there are people out there whose work—and attitude toward life—can put a smile on our faces. I hope the writers of the endless letters—pro or con—about our fellow alumnus, Donald Trump, read the article. A good many of them could stand to put a smile on their faces.
The challenge is for Penn—the national leader in geriatric care for over 150 years—to better utilize its resources in dentistry, medicine, and research to help the elderly and often home-bound community.
I enjoyed reading "House Dentist." I appreciate that you highlight the good work that Penn alums do in their professions, with an eye towards service and helping underserved communities. I hope you write more articles like that in the future, and thank you to Alisa Kauffman and Steven Lin [who was profiled in the sidebar article, "The Protégé"].
The article "House Dentist," regarding Dr. Kauffman's work, is terrific and makes folks aware of an individual who is helping to fulfill a major need. My reason for writing is the following: The Gazette is a polished publication. It is always apparent that you make a continued effort that it be the best one out there. Here are several suggestions for future articles of this type.
Next, "the raw force it takes to pull teeth": Dentists do not "pull" teeth. They are removed or extracted! The "queasy" comment [regarding the reaction of the patient's daughter to the extraction] could be left out.
Page 37: "She cares for them in a setting that's even more unusual for dentists than for doctors: their homes." In this sentence, the dental profession would certainly prefer "unusual for dentists than for physicians." They are all doctors.
Page 38 & 40: Dentists don't work on patients. We "treat" patients.
Please understand that I am taking time and effort to write this because I read each issue of the Gazette. It is a classy publication. You obviously put much effort into each article. I am a retired Penn orthodontist. I take great pride in the dental school and the University. This publication is an extension of the University. Thank you very much.
Congratulations on the fabulous article regarding the life-giving work and the comic adventures of Alisa Kauffman. Such a tremendous understanding of the needs of our elderly, and the ability she obviously has to deliver that care, is quite admirable.
I am proud to note that there are many institutions scattered throughout North America, Israel, and beyond, that cater to the elderly and particularly to Holocaust survivors—but none perhaps with the flair of Dr. Kauffman.
Annenberg School Dean Michael Delli Carpini is about 56 years late in repeating to a Penn/Annenberg audience the comments about the impossibility of truly objective reporting ["When Lies Go Viral," May|June 2017].
Vijay graduated from the University of Southern Oregon. She spent a year in France. She was a writer who worked with developmentally disabled adults. She was a special person.
There was no time to say goodbye. I was called to the accident scene. I'll spare the details.
I too felt nothing but shock when I learned the news. The police officer informed me that she "didn't make it." That phrase echoes with me every day. I will say that the Portland police handled the situation in a professional way.
I was in shock. For a time, I could not understand why I didn't cry. The tears came later. I too would wake at night and wonder: "Where's Vijay? Why isn't she home?" Then I would remember. Those are hard, lonely nights.
Today, I work with public officials on pedestrian safety in Portland. Philadelphia also has a "Vision Zero" project to protect people crossing the street.
The crosswalk where Vijay died now has a blinking sign system. I've seen it save lives. They cost about $100,000. Drivers don't like it. It is inconvenient. It works.
Nothing will bring Vijay back. However, if my work helps save lives, that is my way of choosing to live after losing my wife. Mr. Lyons, my heart goes out to you.
In the article "How to Think Like Vladimir Putin" ["Gazetteer," May|June 2017], Professors Mitchell Orenstein, Rudra Sil, Joseph Kolodny, and Phil Nichols all want us to sympathize with Russia's attitude and actions under Vladimir Putin since 1999. Russia has been acting out, they say, simply because Putin feels beleaguered by the West. The West, with NATO and the European Union as the main actors, has acted against Russia's interests. Certainly, this is true. And for good reasons—none of which our academics (whom the article implicitly praises) give any attention.
Russia under Putin since 1999 is largely a murderous kleptocracy and invader of free states. The West would do well to cordon off this Russian cancer from the rest of the world.
The article on Putin and Russia was the best in-depth analysis of how Russians perceive themselves and their history from the time they were ruled by hordes from Siberia to Westernization and the present day. Their word gordyy—which equals proud and bare-chested tough—covers the population's attitude and thus Putin.
I enjoyed Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's article, "The Power of Play," about high achieving career people and their need for "deep play" to contrast their high-intensity careers ["Expert Opinion," May|June 2017]. The example of Britton Chance's need to sail to offset his scientific studies is a good one, but this revelation is not rocket science. There are careers and, don't get me wrong, they are important to our well-being: however, equally critical is the development of our "whole-self," be it found in sports, art, adventure, or even sailing.
The question is this: with annual tuition, room, and board at private colleges now set basically at $70,000, how does one justify the cost of a "liberal arts" education, important as it may be to critical thinking, at such a price? I have no answer to that question, but I do see higher education splitting into the camps of education as a trade and education for the development of a more complete self. Without getting mired in this debate, I do postulate that, above all, including the emphasis on career success in our consumptive society, nothing in an individual's formative development is as important as being "whole," which requires the development of the academic, athletic, artistic, and spiritual being. Any education short of that is not. The gauntlet is down. Can our colleges and universities rise to this important ideal—because if we can't, not much is achieved.
Your brief article on Cuba, "Political Graffiti," was well received ["Notes From the Undergrad," May|June 2017]. Having recently returned from Cuba, let me add to the discussion. As the article related, the CUC (convertible peso) is used almost everywhere for most of what has value. The Cuban people are not paid in CUCs; they are paid in Cuban pesos: 25 of which can buy a CUC. The salaries are so low, no one can afford to make that exchange, since a CUC is only valued at US $1.17. My visit was depressing. The deterioration shown in the Gazette is everywhere. The people indeed do sell CDs and anything else they can … for CUCs. The ration stores are where most Cubans get basic foodstuffs, since those are subsidized by the government. There are only five TV stations in Cuba, and all news comes on the one government news channel. CNN and the BBC are banned. In every hotel in which I spent time, there were very few Cubans. They were full of foreigners.
My Cuban guide told me that US businesses were sure to come to Cuba but that no Cuban would be able to afford a Starbucks coffee, as an example. I went to Cuba to see it before it changed. I am convinced it will not change until the system changes, not for many, many years.
I'm sure President Gutmann's three-word challenge ["From College Hall," May|June 2017] will inspire many responses.
As a nervous 17-year old freshman moving into the Quad, being at Penn Opened My Eyes. Now, nearly 50 years later, I proceed through life, and through my career in transportation planning, where I am always looking at the future, with Eyes Wide Open, thanks in no small part to my Penn education. I am hopeful and satisfied that many other Penn grads and current students are doing the same.
Or How About These ?
Our controversial University president, Amy Gutmann, wants to sum up Penn in three words. OK, I'll take the bait: Penn, embarrassingly liberal, or Trump, our alumnus.
Not even dear Ben Franklin was elected president of the US, and while Harvard has many such alumni, this is Penn's first and only.
Any Penn alum who travels into Grand Central station can thank Donald Trump for showing the guts and vision of turning the run-down, vagrant-infested Commodore Hotel (as a boy, I was not allowed to walk near that hotel) that sat above Grand Central station in the 1970s and turn it into the Hyatt Regency. This was Trump's great moment, and he was in his late 20s. Credit probably also goes to Penn and Wharton for giving him the moxie and vision to take on the heart-stopping project that changed midtown Manhattan in the late 1970s for the benefit of literally millions of Americans.
In the May|June "Letters," Barry Casselman made the statement: "Like all institutions of higher learning, Penn is of course openly proud of it most distinguished graduates." He is upset that Donald Trump was not accorded accolades because he was elected to the presidency. Well, our alma mater has every right not to be proud of his "accomplishment." He is an embarrassment in so many ways.
The Penn graduate who does deserve to make the Gazette cover might very well be Rod Rosenstein W'86, who on May 17 made the decision to pick a Special Counsel to investigate whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. And his decision, picking former FBI Director Robert Mueller, was unanimously praised.
Our wonderful president used his fellow Penn alumnus by asking for his recommendation to fire FBI Director James Comey … then made it clear that he was going to fire Comey, anyway. He made Rosenstein a foil for his own purposes. But Rosenstein didn't lose his cool and stayed the course.
It is clear that Rosenstein is highly respected by both sides of the aisle. He is someone of whom Penn can be proud. Trump? Not so much.
"Ivy League Colleges Get More Selective" in the April 1-2 Wall Street Journal provided the following percentages of accepted applicants: Harvard, 5.2; Columbia, 5.8; Princeton, 6.1; Yale 6.9; Brown, 8.3; Penn, 9.2; Dartmouth, 10.4; and Cornell, 12.5. So, what is all the adulation about President Gutmann? Her memorable accomplishments seem to be declaring the University a "sanctuary campus," inviting Cory Booker to speak at Commencement, and endless newsletters extolling the "diversity" achieved at the school.
Take it from someone who has never missed an annual giving contribution and who served as county chairman for secondary-school recruitment: whenever you see the word diversity or its derivatives, substitute the word mediocrity. The University appears to be sacrificing excellence to achieve that goal, as it appears in the acceptance percentage. Or maybe the word is out about Penn.
If and when the current University president (who is a Harvard alumna, by the way) is at last out of office, why not replace her with someone like Samuel Alito, only with a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate degree.
Fortunately, however, other letters reflect that Penn has conveyed that other major component of an Ivy League education: namely, internalizing the belief, shared by Ben Franklin and its Enlightenment founders, that moral progress should keep pace with technical prowess. True—or just truly idealistic? Now that our elected representatives are more preoccupied with serving the powerful (in order to enable future reelections) than the majority of their constituents, such a debate is welcome.
The beauty of Penn's motto LEGES SINE MORIBUS VANAE is that is covers both aspects of education. Translated literally, the Latin phrase narrowly means, "laws without morals are useless." However, the founders' meaning encompasses today more than just jurisprudence. The point of it, maybe sometimes over-stressed by the odd teacher, according to some letters, is that soulless technical savvy alone does not rise to the challenge of an Ivy League education. It has to be complemented by humanistic or even just humane content; so, a less literal translation may be "formalism without substance is meaningless." In plain English, merely posturing doesn't cut it!
Many programs at Penn had managed to balance this dual mission. (To cite my personal experience, the doctoral program run at the School of Arts and Sciences, and later Wharton, by Silberberg Professor of Social Systems Sciences Russell Ackoff, thus aimed at a full education.) But, these days, Penn's community seeks guidance. Against this backdrop, President Amy Gutmann should be praised for her searching honesty, her mindfulness of Penn's enlightened tradition, and for striving to tailor her stance to the substance of Penn's motto and legacy. Under Dr. Gutmann's leadership, the University of Pennsylvania will remain a beacon of enlightenment worldwide.
The only way that the tone deaf, no free speech colleges will change is if all frustrated alumni do not give a penny to these bigoted sore losers.
Next step, hopefully, is the government will no longer give a penny to these jackasses!
Go President Trump! The winner!
Misinterpretation best sums up President Gutmann's criticism of Trump's immigration policy ["Gazetteer," Mar|Apr 2017]. In an attempt to protect the American public, this administration wanted prospective immigrants—no matter how old, nor where they are from, nor what their religious persuasion—to be properly vetted to determine that they will not cause harm to people in this country. There have been tragic crimes committed by immigrants who were not properly screened. Some 22,000 illegal immigrants who had committed felonies have already been deported. To imply that this administration's policy is to deport all illegal immigrants is not true. I believe it will come to pass that those willing to register and apply to be welcomed into this country as legal immigrants will have to go through a waiting period while they are vetted, but with patience they will eventually be assimilated into our society.
Melissa Jacobs' opening statement in "Data Defenders" [Mar|Apr 2017] that the "fundamental reality" of climate change "is a matter of near-unanimous agreement among scientists" is flawed in many ways. This is because many—especially college graduates, including journalists—don't practice critical thinking and often have no knowledge of their subject matter. Jacobs is guilty of just repeating what she has heard and read without delving deeper.
If there is anything that is not a democracy, it's science. Science is proved by the results of the experiments; there is no vote. Jacobs would have believed that the world is flat, that the sun revolves around the earth, and that ordinary metals could be turned into gold, just to name a few "scientific" beliefs of the majority. And what percentage of scientists who supposedly believe in man-made climate change would it take to have doubts? Would it be 80 percent, or 70, or 50?
I say supposedly because of the too-often repeated canard that the majority of scientists believe in man-made climate change. I'm sure Jacobs and everyone else—including government officials—have no idea where this falsity originated. As was clearly explained in a May 26, 2014, Wall Street Journal article by Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer, the sources and methodology are highly flawed. Some of the data they reveal is: one frequently cited source only reviewed abstracts of published articles and not the actual articles where the abstract was not substantiated. The same source refused to cite any prominent climate scientists who dissented. Another source cites 97 percent consensus but without asking whether human impact is enough to constitute a problem, conveniently leaving that out. And that commonly cited number of 97 percent is based on only 79 respondents who listed climate science as their area of expertise out of 3,146 who responded to a survey.
Why are these facts and many others not disseminated by journalists? Because they don't fit the dogmatic narrative and might just be an inconvenient truth.
I read the letters regarding our infamous alum with interest. Students come to Penn from a wide variety of cultural and economic backgrounds, and the University does its best to educate them. Unfortunately, being a son from a rich family does not guarantee intelligence or humanity.
This alum ran for office on a platform of racism, misogyny, and xenophobia and made promises only the ignorant could believe. His election by a minority of voters was aided by Russian interference, so could be termed illegitimate. A recent Gallup organization analysis of 125,000 voters in the election found the one common thread binding his supporters across all classes was … racism.
I believe it is appropriate for the University (and the Gazette) to distance themselves from this man. It would be far better to try to counter the hate and intolerance generated by his election.
Thanks for publishing such a wonderful alumni magazine for so many years.
I have read with great interest the recent letters published in the Gazette from alumni with regard to the election of a Wharton grad to the presidency of the United States. Of particular interest are those letters that question why the University has not made a greater effort to make a fuss over the fact that one of its graduates is now our president.
Frankly, I can understand why the University has made so little of this. Donald Trump is, of course, a graduate of Penn's internationally respected business school. I would not want that publicized in light of many facts that could, perhaps, reflect upon his Wharton education. I would not brag about a graduate who managed to lose $950 million in his business roughly 20 years ago whereby he has since paid little or no tax due to the loss carried forward. In the process he declared bankruptcy, failed to pay his suppliers and vendors, hired illegal alien workers and then failed to pay them, and has made a career of having to fight off lawsuits. He created Trump University that had to make a $ 25 million settlement payment to students who brought suit for fraud. Not a good idea to publicize Trump's Wharton degree.
Did he take any management courses at Wharton? If he did, he must have learned nothing, as his incompetence in managing the White House and the entire executive branch is remarkable. I would love to see his student transcript showing the courses he took and the grades he achieved. He obviously did not read his own book, The Art of The Deal, because, if he had, he may have been able to determine how to compromise in negotiations to get a new health care bill through Congress. I can hardly blame the University for being a bit quiet about his election.
In the process of a mere "First 100 Days," Trump has achieved record low popularity ratings for a new president. I can hardly blame the University for not being celebratory about his election.
As a double alumnus, I cringe every time I see a connection between our ignoramus of a president and my alma mater. The less said the better.
Thank you, Penn, for live-streaming the 261st graduation and celebrating the Class of 2017 ["Gazetteer," this issue]. This event was a pleasant "hurrah" during my day here in Vermont. I particularly enjoyed the motivational remarks various speakers opined regarding contributions to communities and seeking to help invisible people. Cory Booker's address featured six words spoken by his precious mentor—"I see you. I love you"—and were prophetic. I truly wished the graduates would have taken up his chant.
As a practicing funeral director for almost 70 years, I remember similar words at my commencement and have tried to follow that guideline. Although the commencement was beautifully choreographed, as our administrators and faculty deans spoke about what each division would contribute in making our world better, it was obvious that several folks missed a wonderful opportunity to showcase our institution and to give enormous credit to a beloved graduate.
Yes, this man accomplished almost the impossible in reaching the highest office in the land. As one of the nation's deplorables, who does not like the thought of resistance yet treasures options, I wish our school would acknowledge and salute a loyal alumnus who also sees the invisible/forgotten people and, in donating his service, is also trying to restore help for those seen and unseen. In my opinion, he attempts to emulate some of the themes of "what social classes owe to each other," a concept some of us learned in Professor Frank Parker's finance class in the 1950s.
I do understand the passion on both sides of the controversy over the coverage given—or not given—in the Gazette to Donald Trump as the first Penn alumnus to be elected President. To my mind, however, what is important is not the fact that Donald Trump attended Wharton for two years, or that he has his degree from Penn, but rather what he has done over the past 49 years.
When he ran for President last year, Donald Trump repeatedly referred to having graduated from Wharton. However, I don't believe he once mentioned that Wharton is part of the University of Pennsylvania, only Wharton. OK, fine. Perhaps that's just an excusable slip—like his undocumented claim that he graduated at the top of his class.
Donald Trump claims to be a billionaire—and yet I have not seen any reference to any contributions to his alma mater during nearly a half-century since he graduated. Maybe he gave anonymously. Despite his love for having his name on everything he touches (Trump Towers all over the place, Trump golf courses, Trump steaks), we don't have any buildings at Penn that bear the Trump name. An oversight?
On the evidence before us to date, Donald J. Trump has failed that test. His destiny has left the station, and thus, despite his billions, he is truly impoverished.
I hold with those who choose to wait until President Trump accepts the mantle that both his Penn degree and his wealth have placed on his shoulders. Let him truly embrace that—then he will have earned honor both for himself and for the University of Pennsylvania.
I read with interest the recent letters to the editor concerning the absence of publicity for Donald Trump and that of Amy Gutmann's stance on undocumented student sanctuary. It's a wonderful thing that we graduates can voice our opinions on these two contentious subjects. However, I sense an alarming trend on campuses towards a one-sided approach emanating from the faculties and administrations.
In my mind, there should have been some publicity honoring our recently elected president, not because I like or don't like him, but because he's a graduate and was elected to the highest post in the land. You can bet if Abe Lincoln had been a Penn graduate he would have been plastered all over the magazine! And then there's the issue of sanctuary towards undocumented students. This is not a situation with an easy answer, but for a university to defy US law—is this a good thing?
As an undergraduate at another prestigious college during the seventies I witnessed the banning of alt-left speakers. Now, I'm looking at the censorship of the alt-right. It is the place of a college and university to present both sides of the political spectrum and this is not now happening. Today, "conservative" has come to mean politically right, while "liberal" now means left. What happened to the days when "conservative" meant to conserve and "liberal" meant to consider all sides? Thank goodness Penn graduates are voicing their opinions.
Regarding Edgar H. Hendler CE'50's statement: "I belong to the 50 percent of Americans who voted for an unconventional Republican" ["Letters," May|June]. This is inaccurate, as the figure is actually 46.1 percent, and precisely why many of us do not want the association of Penn and the "unconventional Republican" to be acknowledged. Facts and truth matter!
I loved reading the letters in the last issue. Bottom line is: in 277 years, Trump is Penn's first US President. And Amy has the nerve to instead highlight Joe Biden—a nice guy, but didn't go to school here and had some ethics issues in some law school. So here is the message: Penn should be proud if they can forget their PC culture for a minute and look at what makes us great.
President Trump represents what we should instill in our sons and daughters. He took on the status quo in his own party, did things his own way, and was disruptive (very). One by one he took down all his opponents before fighting the status quo for something he believed. He made mistakes but came back time and time again. Unlike his opposition, he was his own person and not beholden to anyone.
In the end, with a third of the money, he did what no one thought possible as he worked non-stop while others slept. A true story of David beating Goliath, or today's Penn alumni-founded Warby Parker taking on the eyewear monopoly. That should be the takeaway, as Penn should place a red Make America Great Again hat and Warby Parker glasses on Ben Franklin's statue saluting disruption everywhere. Ben would be proud, and Amy should finally take note.
In the May|June 2017 "Letters," Lorrin Philipson Willis commented that Trump "has the intelligence of a person afflicted by Alzheimer's." I have met a number of people with Alzheimer's who are extremely intelligent. Unfortunately, there are times when those who have the disease cannot make use of their intelligence.
I have spent more than 1,000 hours in the lobby of an excellent memory care facility here in California. All the people there have Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia, but you can see when they try to solve a problem that there may still be some intelligence stashed away in their deteriorating brains. Philipson should base her opinions on facts, not on rash assumptions.
Frankly, I could not become particularly enthusiastic about either of the candidates this past election, but it had to be Donald or Hillary.
To defend Trump, his supporters should specify why he deserves praise. Was he honest and forthright during his campaign? Has he been honest and forthright since his election? Do his policies benefit the greatest number of Americans? Is his healthcare plan more comprehensive, more humane, and more affordable than the Affordable Care Act? Does he exhibit intelligence? Has he assembled a team of qualified subordinates? Has he improved relations with other countries? Does he respond properly to countries like the Philippines being run by murderous fascists? Does he deserve praise for his firing of FBI director James Comey? Has he divested himself sufficiently enough to avoid charges of conflict of interest and using the Oval Office to enrich himself? Has he demonstrated an understanding of the importance of separation of church and state? Has he treated minorities with respect? Is his Mexican wall idea the product of an educated mind? Is he correct to dismiss the findings of scientists that the world is warming up? Has he behaved with dignity? Are you proud of the way he has conducted himself? Does his performance so far suggest that this country has a bright future?
So, what exactly is praiseworthy about Mr. Trump? His election certainly is not, tainted as it is by the Russian influence, Comey's interference, and the embarrassing fact that Hillary Clinton ended up with nearly three million more votes. Therefore, why should the fact that he is "the only Penn graduate ever to be elected president" (Casselman again) obligate Penn to be proud of him? The question remains: what has Mr. Trump done so far that is positive enough to enable somebody to write an adulatory article about him, one that will satisfy the Gazette's critics?
I regret the letters from alumni complaining that the Gazette failed to exult over the election of Penn graduate Donald Trump. After all, the Gazette is the alumni publication of one of the USA's finest universities with an understandable and expected predisposition to the use of the mind, over the intestinal tract.
It was several years later that I read in the newspaper that Mr. Trump and I had something in common: he, too, was a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce! As I remember it, it was in that same article that it was reported that Mr. Trump insisted he "never learned anything in the Wharton school." I assume that took a load of embarrassment off both Penn and Wharton, as well as myself.
I don't know how many people have graduated from the University of Pennsylvania since its earliest years, but I count it fortunate that there has likely been but one Donald Trump. Thank you, Pennsylvania Gazette.
Having read Fateful Odds: A Memoir of Vietnam and Its Aftermath, by my Class of 1967 classmate, Chuck Newhall, I found "Taking Casualties" ["Profiles," Mar|Apr 2017] equally as candid and crushing as the book. Newhall describes his combat experience and his crumbling marriage with uncommon honesty and introspection.
The war never ceased for Newhall. He approached his hugely successful business career as a series of skirmishes that demanded extreme discipline and single-mindedness. His marriage suffered—as he readily admitted in his book and the Gazette interview—from his intense desire to succeed, regardless of the personal consequences.
His wife's suicide changed his life. He accepted responsibility for contributing to her death. He sought therapy. He confronted Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and struggled to control his demons. He learned that many veterans, lacking his financial means, have battled PTSD with limited success.
Chuck Newhall fought bravely and fiercely in a wildly unpopular war. He belonged to the 101st Airborne Division, one of the US Army's elite combat units. Fearful Odds offers an unvarnished view of a war fought well by its troops and executed poorly by our nation's political leaders.
Chuck was a college friend. I attended his wedding. We have kept in touch sporadically. His book and the Gazette interview portray a person with a warrior mentality that kept him alive in horrific combat, motivated in the venture-capital world, and blind for a time to the demons that drove and mentally incapacitated him.
Newhall dared to reveal himself. I applaud his gutsiness. His book was riveting, sharply and tightly written.
I will become a centenarian this year. My fond memories of the Palestra aren't just the games. It was the fun of the dancing that took place on the court floor after the games. I can remember who my dance partners were. I even married one of them!
I was a student of Nina Auerbach's ["Obituaries," May|June 2017], when she taught "Women in Literature" for only the first or second time. I was a History major at Penn, but that course—and that teacher—made an impression on me that's lasted. In the mid-1970s I signed up for the course naively certain we'd be reading and discussing women and the literature they wrote. I was astonished and soon overworked through a syllabus that began with Milton and stopped at Virginia Woolf, with some doorstop-sized novels (most by men) along the way. Listening to her was a grand experience for me.
But the person who really taught me how to write an English paper—when I was almost 50—was Dr. Nancy R. Norris-Kniffin Gr'71, who earned her PhD at Penn. She was a completely outstanding teacher and a kind, gracious woman whose passing deserves an appreciative note in the Gazette ["Obituaries," this issue]. I got to take a course with her in the Master of Liberal Arts program at Johns Hopkins University, which she directed. She was still all about "form and theme" in an imaginative way that remained open to new ways of reading and inhabiting fiction. I'm sure everyone who remembers her will recall her with similar fondness.
Truly a great teacher, Dr. Riasanovsky had a profoundly positive impact on many of us ["Obituaries," Jan|Feb, "Letters," Mar|Apr 2017]. He opened our minds to the fascination of the intricacies of Russian history, thereby to interest in all history, and (one would hope) the lessons to be learned if we delve into it. He welcomed questions and would linger in the hallways discussing with us, whether we were "mere" undergrads attending an intro course or graduates or other professors. He was instrumental in igniting, reigniting, and feeding the light of learning in so many of us that his impact extends beyond us through us to further generations. I am so fortunate and so honored to have learned from him.
Seems at Penn, in order to get an education, you pay a lot of money and have to keep your head down to stay off the radar of the politically correct.

Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom To Conduct Trial Delivery of 4K Content With HEVC Encoding
By posted by Bob Kovacs 27 August 2014
RENNES, France —Chunghwa Telecom, a telecommunications operator in Taiwan, selected Broadpeak solutions to power a trial project for a new 4K HEVC streaming service. Utilizing Broadpeak's server and CDN manager solutions that support the HEVC compression standard and set-top boxes, Chunghwa Telecom cost-effectively delivers 4K VOD and NVOD content to a wide range of devices, while maintaining quality of service to customers.
"Streaming video content with a 4K resolution takes up a lot of data. Leveraging the HEVC standard, we're able to efficiently compress 4K content without losing any of the video quality, making it easier and more affordable to store and transmit," said JH Lin, deputy director, Multimedia Division, Chunghwa Telecom.
Using Broadpeak's server and CDN management technologies and HwaCom set-top boxes, Chunghwa Telecom can support two modes for HEVC delivery. VOD content is targeted to be delivered via unicast transfer method and NVOD through multicast.
"We see HEVC delivery of 4K content as the future of television and we are very proud to be partnering with a pioneer such as Chunghwa Telecom on this new Digital TV transition," said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO of Broadpeak. "Chunghwa Telecom's groundbreaking trial service is an excellent example of the amazing video quality today's telecom operators can provide, as well as the increased efficiencies and cost savings that can be realized relying on the HEVC codec."

In compliance with the governmental order, the Environmental Research Unit established in 2005 on the basis of the principle of environmental concern. The unit activated the framework of joint cooperation with all related departments in the province of Kirkuk to assist Iraqi people in supplying the university with environmental projects aimed at identifying the most important ecosystem.
The Environmental Research Unit is one of the research units specializing in research for graduate students and academics, relying on the availability of a wide and varied range of specialized and current research instruments, and may cooperate with numerous Iraqi universities because of the capability that the unit has in this area. Despite the economic conditions that have passed and are passing through the country, the unit has played and continues to play a pioneering role in various environmental activities.
The unit has started many environmental seminars and various environmental activities and events for spreading environmental awareness in addition to cooperation with the governorate departments, such as the departments of environment, health, water resources, agriculture, Veterinary, North Oil Company and North Gas Company from the relevant departments.
Since its formation 15 years ago, the Environmental Research Unit has been equipped with various modern devices from global sources, in implementation of what is required to carry out the tasks assigned to the unit. A number of professors took turns managing the unit, as the unit's management was taken over by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Abdulaziz Qadir, and then the management moved to Professor Dr. Awaz Behrouz Muhammad on 10/16/2016, after which the management moved to Prof. Dr. Omar Sabah Ibrahim on 10/17/ 2016 to 8/29/2019. After this date and until the preparation of this brief, Dr. Abdul Amir Hussein Qasim took over the unit management.
According to the directives of the President of the University of Kirkuk, Prof. Dr. Sabah Ahmed Ismail, and the Dean of the College of Science, Assistant Professor Nima Ali Ahmed, great emphasis was placed on operating the laboratory equipment, which for many years remained without operation, noting that it cost the government large sums of money. After the success in operating these devices and with exceptional efforts by the unit director and its staff, the unit became able to achieve its goals set for it in a way that serves the environmental reality of Kirkuk Governorate.

Rivastigmine is metabolised mainly through hydrolysis by esterases. Minimal metabolism occurs via the major cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Thus, no pharmacokinetic interactions are anticipated with other drugs metabolised by these enzymes.
Anticipated interactions resulting in a concomitant use not recommended: Metoclopramide: Considering the possibility of an additive extra-pyramidal effect the concomitant use of metoclopramide and rivastigmine is not recommended.
Drugs acting on cholinergic system: In view of its pharmacodynamic effects, rivastigmine should not be given concomitantly with other cholinomimetic drugs due to possible additive effect. Rivastigmine might also interfere with the activity of anticholinergic medications (e.g. oxybutynin, tolterodine).
Succinylcholine-type muscle relaxants: As a cholinesterase inhibitor, rivastigmine may exaggerate the effects of succinylcholine-type muscle relaxants during anaesthesia.
Observed interactions to be considered: Beta-blockers: Additive effects leading to bradycardia (which may result in syncope) have been reported with the combined use of various beta-blockers (including atenolol) and rivastigmine. Cardioselective beta-blockers are expected to be associated with the greatest risk, but reports have also been received in patients using other beta-blockers.
Interaction with nicotine: A population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that nicotine use increases the oral clearance of rivastigmine by 23% in patients with Alzheimer's dementia (n=75 smokers and 549 non-smokers) following rivastigmine oral capsule doses of up to 12 mg/day.
Interactions with commonly used concomitant drugs: No pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between oral rivastigmine and digoxin, warfarin, diazepam or fluoxetine in studies in healthy volunteers. The increase in prothrombin time induced by warfarin is not affected by administration of rivastigmine. No untoward effects on cardiac conduction were observed following concomitant administration of digoxin and rivastigmine.
Concomitant administration of rivastigmine with commonly prescribed medications, such as antacids, antiemetics, antidiabetics, centrally acting antihypertensives, calcium channel blockers, inotropic drugs, antianginals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oestrogens, analgesics, benzodiazepines and antihistamines, was not associated with an alteration in the kinetics of rivastigmine, or an increased risk of clinically relevant untoward effects.

Celebrate the Induction of Synchro Swimmer Beth Carey Into the International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame
Photo Courtesy: Andy Ross
03 October 2018, 09:00am
Beth Carey has been a member of the Ramapo (New York/New Jersey) Aqua Masters since the team's inception. Now in her 80's, she began swimming with the team at age 45, and has competed in the U.S. Masters Nationals since 1983. In 1992, she made her first trip to a Masters World Championship, when it was held in Indianapolis, and earned her first two World Championship gold medals. She has competed in eight Fina Masters World Championships winning 20 medals. She has also competed in Masters World Games, Pan Pacific Masters, Pan American Masters and Canadian National Championships.
Carey has been the Aqua Masters team representative since 1994 and has been active with the overall structure of USA Synchro's Masters program, including being a Masters Athlete representative one year at the USAS Convention. When the team looked like it might not survive, Carey was the constant that kept the team going.
Beth Carey swam water ballet with Cortland State Teacher's College (now SUNY at Cortland) and was quoted as saying, "There is no comparison between the water ballet of my college years with synchronized swimming of today." Carey got a degree in Physical Education from Cortland State Teacher's College in 1959 which is now SUNY (state university of New York) at Cortland. We had a water ballet club based on Esther Williams swimming. She was elected to the Cortland College Hall of Fame in 2000 for swimming as a sport for life. Beth also won the Mae McEwan Award in 2006, which is an award given to "Someone who has made Outstanding Contributions to and best exemplifies the spirit of Masters synchronized swimming."
Continuing to swim as much as possible, she recently received a clean bill of health after a battle with Pancreatic Cancer. She credits synchronized swimming for her good health and for giving her the energy she needs for her five children, 22 grandchildren and seven great-grands.
"Exercise," Carey says, "is the most important thing as you age." Now, at 81, she is still in fantastic shape. "I know that the swimming plus daily exercise is keeping me healthy as I am in my 80's. My goal is to compete into my 90's."

Now we have Clu's big moment of exposition where he explains exactly what his plan is and what his motivations are. From what I can tell, his plan is to get his army of a few thousand into the real world and completely take over. His motivation is because… I'm not sure?
He's pissed about Flynn, that much is obvious, but clearly he's not yet completed his task of creating a perfect system, so why is he abandoning that task and going to go take over our world? This doesn't make much sense. The speech that he gives is the mirror image of Flynn's speech from earlier in the movie, and that's kind of clever, I guess. Also, at least the scene looks impressive in a vaguely disturbing, Nuremburg kind of way.
While this is going on, Sam sneaks into the area where Clu has placed Flynn's disc. He has about four guards on this disc. Well, yes, that makes sense. Spend 365 years looking for something and you develop a somewhat casual attitude toward securing it. To be fair, there are also some other guys who immediately hide behind shielding, who remind me of those goggle-wearing guys from a certain other movie.
Sam, of course, dispenses with the guards easily, despite him having, as mentioned before, no notable combat training. He gets in, grabs the disc, saves Thirteen from Rinzler, and then grabs a wing-suit to escape to freedom, rendezvousing with Flynn, who's managed to get his hands on an aircraft.

Today's new cars are filled with new technology, from self-driving features to in-vehicle entertainment. These modern features can improve the ownership experience significantly if they are implemented well and adopted by customers. Alternatively, if the customer doesn't understand the new features and has trouble getting help, those same features will cause frustration and dissatisfaction with the purchase. The delivery process provides dealers with an opportunity to inform customers about features and resources that will help them get the most from their cars.
Answering pressing questions: The kiosk can assist employees in explaining features and answering detailed questions. Using powerful IT-based systems to learn facts is stimulating, especially compared with the dry experience of reading the user's manual included in a new car's glove compartment.
Comprehensive knowledge: One of the major advantages of interactive kiosks is their ability to hold information on all of a dealer's many vehicle offerings and every optional feature. There is no need to rely on memory or cumbersome documentation when every fact a customer needs to know is available with a simple touch gesture.
