A question I'm sometimes asked is whether HMRC is a great place to work. My answer is yes – I'm proud to be a part of HMRC's Digital Service!
When I tell friends where I work, I get the occasional odd look. But that doesn't stop me from trying to challenge any misconceptions they might have of HMRC and government services in general. Yes we collect tax, but we also do much, much more and that means we play a critical role in the economy. I feel it's part of my job to educate people on the great work we do in HMRC's Digital Service.
My name is Kay Patel and I'm blogging this week to support International Volunteers Day about how volunteering in the community can help those without digital skills to learn and make the most of the opportunities that being online has to offer. In my day to day job, I work with digital teams to make sure those who cannot use our digital services independently are supported and not left behind, but it doesn't stop there. I am also a volunteer coordinator and an active volunteer myself.
HMRC provides its staff with opportunities for career development and progression through mentoring, training, development schemes, and community volunteering. Community volunteering, in particular, is a fantastic way to connect to the very people we are building our services for and making sure everyone can use them. It also provides an interesting way to develop new and existing skills.
We do not volunteer, for the most part, because it benefits us. We volunteer because we want to make a difference.
Sure, we know that volunteering can make us feel good, can help us gain confidence by having the chance to try something new and get a real sense of achievement. Yet, volunteering helps to build stronger, more inclusive communities. In fact, I wholeheartedly believe in the reciprocal benefits of volunteering; volunteers get as much from the experience as those they support. And we want as many people as possible to enjoy the benefits of being online.
We are building great digital services for everyone and we encourage colleagues go out to local communities or charities and help people learn basic digital skills. Through this we can help overcome barriers and make a real change by helping people build their digital skills. This is not only about using government digital services but opening up a whole world of online possibilities – things like shopping and staying in touch with friends.
This also helps colleagues to understand the barriers people face contributing developing and designing services that are simple to use and intuitive enough that users succeed the first time.
Here's an example of what I mean. On 28 November a group of HMRC volunteers ran a digital skills session, working with both Business in the Community, and Fujitsu – one of our IT partners, to support members of EccyMensGroup. We looked at skills such as how to use internet search engines, how to navigate a laptop, and the basics of online security. Members of EccyMensGroup were nervous beforehand, but came away with confidence about their new skills.
I really enjoyed the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The man I was working with explained he lacked confidence in using the computer, but by the end of the session he felt much happier to try on his own- even shopping for a new pair of shoes without help. This session helped me grow in confidence with my communication abilities which was the point of volunteering to challenge myself as well as sharing my knowledge so someone else could strengthen theirs.
Taking time to interact and volunteer outside my day-to-day job enables me to learn more about myself. I get to meet diverse groups of people, work on common goals, and gain confidence in my work. It also helps me to learn and develop my skills - volunteering is a much more fun way of learning.
I'm proud to be part of HMRC's Digital Service and playing a part in helping shape the future of government services. I do really love my job and, even though there are challenges, I look at all the great things I get to work on and contribute to as well as being able to support my passion for giving back to the community through volunteering.

Q: Função mysql não juntar os iguais Tenho esta query para MySQL:
SELECT email, COUNT(*) AS Vezes FROM automovel
GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT(*)
ORDER BY `data_cadastro` ASC

Ela agrupa todos os emails iguais, e mostra quantas vezes eles aparecem. Eu preciso fazer com que ela apenas mostre a quantidade de vezes que eles se repetem, mas sem agrupar as linhas.
Tem como?
https://fiddle.jshell.net/e70kz8fo/
Hoje ela exibe assim:
email           Vezes em que aparece
pedro1@teste    1
pedro2@teste    3

Preciso deixar assim:
email           Vezes em que aparece
pedro2@teste    3
pedro1@teste    1
pedro2@teste    3
pedro2@teste    3

A: Tem mais de um jeito.
Um deles, razoavelmente simples, é usar JOIN:
SELECT
  o.email,
  i.vezes
FROM
  automovel o
LEFT JOIN
  ( SELECT COUNT(*) AS vezes, email FROM automovel GROUP BY email ) i
  ON i.email = o.email
ORDER BY
  data_cadastro

Veja funcionando no SQL Fiddle.
Pontos de interesse:

*

*Apelidamos a query principal de o (outer) e a subquery de i (inner), só para poder desambiguar e fazer a relação dos campos abertos e suas contagens;

*a query principal lista todos os ítens, repetidos ou não, sem fazer a contagem;

*a subquery lista somente os ítens agrupados por email, e suas contagens;

*relacionamos os dois lados pelo campo email, para que seja mostrada a respectiva contagem em todas as ocorrências.
Poderia ter sido feito diferente, com a subquery dentro dos campos do SELECT, mas aí teriamos que confiar que o query planner iria ser esperto suficiente para não ficar refazendo o cálculo para todas as linhas repetidas, desperdiçando recursos e derrubando a performance. Com o JOIN, fazemos cada etapa uma única vez, evitando o problema.

Anxiety can really affect day to day life for sufferers. It can be unbearable but it is relatively easy to treat. Once people are anxiety free they can live their lives without constraints.
Childhood issues that seem difficult for parents to help with can be easily fixed with therapy. I work with children on fears and behaviours and teenagers for anxiety, depression and confidence.
Confidence can carry you through life with more ease. Confidence issues range from not being able to speak up for yourself when you need to, not having the confidence to grasp the opportunities you want in life, not having the confidence to find a partner, not having the confidence to have the life you really want… Anyone's confidence can be boosted with hypnosis.
Depression can stop people going out, affect their relationships and drag them into being a different person to the 'real' them. Many people suffering from depression are prescribed medication and can stay on medication for many years or even permanently when there is an alternative. Hypnosis can lift depression and bring about a brighter life without medication.
Life likes to serve lots of challenges and depending on your own resilience at the time they come will affect your ability to cope. You might find yourself feeling flat, bored, unable to find your way through. This is where life coaching can be super helpful in helping you think straight and regain your confidence to continue or face challenges.
Social anxiety can stop you doing things in life that you really want to do! It can stop you going out, having relationships or getting your dream job. Even though you are a fabulous person and should have those things. In just 4 hours of therapy you can overcome your concerns and be confident about your outlook for the future.
Many people need help to stop smoking. Using Hypnotherapy to stop makes it easier because even though the benefits seem obvious, for some reason they are still not enough to get people to stop on their own. Hypnotherapy puts the benefits for stopping deep in the subconcious which makes the willpower stick. Stop smoking is carried out in one session. You come in a smoker and leave a non smoker.
They call stress 'the silent killer'. Often, stress builds up over time and people don't realise how bad it has got until they start to unwind. How tense their shoulders are, how full their minds are, how they've forgotten how to enjoy themselves. Hypnosis is an amazing treatment for stress. It brings about calm breathing, a relaxed body and mind and a real sense that all is well and provides a new ability to cope.
Many people have a sweet tooth but sugar is highly addictive and has little nutritional value. When sugar is consumed, it raises blood sugar levels. When the blood sugar drops, it causes tiredness and often more sugar is consumed and the cycle starts again. My unique combined Hypnotherapy and NLP treatment stops you eating sugary foods, regulates your energy levels and results in weight loss.
There are a number of reasons why people put on weight or find it difficult to lose weight and keep it off without help. Hypnotherapy is often one of the last resorts and the most successful.
I offer 'hypno gastric band' which convinces the body that a gastric band has been fitted and controls eating on a long-term basis.
I also offer traditional weight loss hypnotherapy which explores reasons for overeating and resolves them.

Here's something Star Wars fans can look forward to this summer. Film distributor Alamo Drafthouse plans to bring the original three films to at least 20 cities this coming August. The "Return of the Trilogy" roadshow program will also include curated video content before and in-between each film, with contests and props to go with it.
Sound like a Star Wars love-fest?
But seeing the 1997 (DVD) editions of the original Star Wars trilogy on the big screen will be a treat for both Gen X and Millennials alike. And, Drafthouse plans to run the films sequentially in either triple features or three back-to-back nights (see the current schedule below).
"Seeing the original trilogy on the big screen for the first time is a real life-altering event and just a supreme amount of fun," saidHenri Mazza, Alamo Drafthouse Vice President of Special Events.

Top Non Profit Organizations for Holiday Giving
By Discover Corps
The festive holiday season is fast approaching. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we're reminded of the extremely fortunate lives we in the United States lead.
For many Discover Corps travelers, the opportunity to give back to communities in developing nations is part of what makes traveling so special. But your contribution to our shared world doesn't have to be restricted to volunteer time abroad. In fact, the holiday season is typically when families in the U.S. make the biggest impact through charitable giving.
In an effort to inspire those of you who wish to contribute to meaningful and impactful charities during the holiday season, we've put together a short list of organizations we admire. These are just a few of the countless charitable orgs that could really use your support.
If you're feeling in the giving spirit this holiday season, we encourage you to read about the incredible organizations below. No matter how small your donation may be, we urge you to consider contributing to a cause that speaks to your heart and mind. If you have suggestions for other organizations that should be on this list, please leave them for us in the comments!
Connect with Entrepreneurs Through Kiva
Kiva International, the trailblazers of micro-finance, are still at it over a decade after breaking onto the scene.
Kiva's mission is to connect people from around the world through lending to help alleviate poverty. They celebrate and support people looking to create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.
Potential lenders are able to select specific projects that speak to them. From helping single parents start businesses to funding health, education or agriculture projects, loans given to Kiva entrepreneurs are not a hand out, but a hand up.
Expand Access to Clean Water
The one thing that every human being on the planet requires in order to survive is becoming increasingly scarce. It's estimated that over a billion people worldwide– a shocking number!– don't have consistent access to clean water.
Fortunately, there are many organizations that are dedicated to solving this humanitarian crisis, and Water.org (which was co-founded by Matt Damon) is leading the charge.
The education, data collection, and advocacy that Water.org provides empowers local people to overcome social, political and economic issues that prevent equitable access to clean water around the world.
Interested in contributing to additional grassroots water sanitation organizations?
Discover Corps' partners in the Dominican Republic have established Filters for Families. The NGO was created alongside teenage traveler Sarah Stubbs in order to improve access to clean water in the region.
So far, Filters for Families has distributed filters to over 550 local families. Last summer alone, they raised over $8,000 for filters, thanks to their passion for improving the health of their community through clean water access.
Address Issues of Poverty
Solving poverty on a global scale can seem overwhelming. But the reality remains that, as many of us celebrate holidays with family and food, far too may others are struggling to survive.
Enter Oxfam, a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty. With 70 years of experience in more than 90 countries, Oxfam takes on the big issues that keep people poor: inequality, discrimination, and unequal access to resources including food, water and land.
The org helps people save lives in disasters, build stronger futures for themselves, and hold the powerful accountable. They also host impactful "Hunger Banquets" across the world, which draw attention to the global food crisis.
Another incredible organization that is working toward alleviating poverty (both domestically and internationally) is Heifer International. Founded on the "teach a man to fish" philosophy, Heifer empowers families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity.
Heifer helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty. They provide animals to communities in need, which brings both food and reliable income, since agricultural products such as milk, eggs and honey can be traded or sold at market.
When many families gain this sustainable income, it brings new opportunities for expanded education, creating agricultural cooperatives, forming community savings and funding small businesses.
Protect Endangered Species
Have you ever dreamed of scuba diving with Whales or spotting rhinos on an African safari? If so, animal conservation is likely a cause that concerns you. Our planet's wildlife is in jeopardy, but the World Wildlife Fund is devoted to protecting it.
For more than 50 years, the people at WWF have made it their mission to find solutions that save the marvelous array of life on our planet by applying the best science available and working closely with local communities. Why is this important? Humans are responsible for the current rate of species extinction, which is at least 100–1,000 times higher than nature intended.
WWF's recent Living Planet Report found that wildlife populations of vertebrate species—mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish—have declined by 52% over the last 40 years. So there's no better time than now to contribute toward their cause.
Remember Giving Tuesday!
For those who may have forgotten, Giving Tuesday is the charitable world's answer to the consumer-driven Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
This year, on November 29th, we encourage everyone to consider making a donation to the non-profit of your choice. Choose an issue that speaks to you or weighs on your heart or mind, and do something about it!
Many organizations are willing to match donations on this day. So be sure to check out the charities you're interested in supporting to see if, by donating on #GivingTuesday, you can make an even larger impact. –Sara McDaniel

The Volunteer Services Bureau oversees and provides administrative support of Juvenile Court's volunteer program. In 2006, approximately 800 individuals and organizations through Memphis and Shelby County donated over 100,000 hours of volunteer service and other contributions to assist children and families referred to Juvenile Court through a variety of programs.
Juvenile Court owes much of its effectiveness in the community to the priceless service of the many volunteers who have contributed in so many ways throughout the years. Their continued service and dedication is greatly appreciated and indispensable.
Volunteers with Juvenile Court provide a great financial resource to the court. Hours of volunteer service save the court approximately $800,000 each year in personnel cost. Volunteers do not receive any pay for their services; they care about the children and the court.
If you would like to be a volunteer, complete and submit a Court Volunteer Application.

Legal Memos
Leading Firearms Defence Lawyers in Nanaimo BC
Firearms are highly regulated in Canada by a maze of laws. Being convicted of a firearms offence can lead to heavy fines, lengthy jail sentences, and permanent prohibitions from possessing otherwise legal weapons or firearms. If you are a licensed firearms owner, you may, additionally, permanently lose your license.
Even charges that remain unproven can affect your ability to renew your license or use firearms. You may suffer these consequences even if you were convicted of certain non-firearms offences. These consequences may apply even if you are an Aboriginal person who hunts as a traditional way of life.
If you've been charged with a firearms or non-firearms offence and are concerned about going to jail or losing your right to use firearms, it's very important to hire a lawyer knowledgeable in firearms law. At Zargarian Litigation, we are experienced in helping people defend themselves against firearms charges and prohibitions, including Aboriginal clients who rely on firearms to hunt for their families.
Legal and illegal weapons/Prohibited and restricted weapons
The Criminal Code creates a broad definition of "weapons" – anything that is used, or intended to be used, as a weapon. The Criminal Code also creates three classes of firearms:
Prohibited firearms, which are fully illegal to possess;
Restricted firearms, which may be possessed with a valid license but are highly regulated, like certain handguns; and
Non-restricted firearms, which may be possessed with a valid license but are less stringently regulated, like hunting rifles and shotguns.
Therefore, some firearms may never be possessed; others may be possessed only with a license; and, generally, no one may possess any firearm without a license. Even with a license, improper use of a firearm is a criminal offence.
Common firearms charges under the Criminal Code include:
Careless use of a firearm (s. 86(1))
Improper storage of a firearm (s.86(2))
Pointing a firearm (s. 87)
Possession of a firearm without proper licence and registration (s 91)
Unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle (s 94)
Possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm (s 95)
Break-and-enter or robbery to steal a firearm (s 98)
If you have been charged with a firearms offence or are facing prohibition, call Zargarian Litigation right away – an early defence is the strongest defence. Given our experience in defending clients in urban and rural communities, we understand the various facets of firearms uses and offences and can defend you against charges and prohibitions.
Punishment for firearm offences
Firearms offences are among the most serious offences in Canadian law. Lengthy penitentiary sentences and lifetime firearms prohibitions are common, particularly if the firearm was used in the commission of an offence. However, firearms offences are also extremely broad, ranging from using a firearm to commit a serious offence to just falling outside the terms of your license. In either case, the consequences can be significant and permanent.
At Zargarian Litigation, our knowledgeable lawyers can help you explore your options and defences. Our notable cases include securing no criminal record for a client who discharged his shotgun at a trespassing vehicle and no criminal record for a client found in possession of serious firearms without a license.
Reach out to us about your firearm charge today
Zargarian Litigation has a successful track record of defending firearms related offences. Because of our offices in Nanaimo and Vancouver, you can expect quick response times and a lawyer familiar with the local court and culture.
Even the most experienced gun owners are not familiar with firearms law and court proceedings. Anyone charged with a firearms offence should seek a firearms defence lawyer immediately to start your defence before you make any mistakes. For the representation that you deserve, contact our Vancouver and Nanaimo firearms lawyers to set up a no-obligation appointment.

Students from five Red Deer middle schools will get to show off their art at the Kiwanis Gallery in May.
Apr. 18, 2012 4:39 p.m.
Awesome Art: The 27th Annual Middle Schools Art Show will run from Wednesday, May 2, to Sunday, May 27.
The annual exhibit delights its audience with a variety of works expressing these young students' talents as they experiment with different subject matter and media.
The Kiwanis Gallery is adjacent to the Snell Auditorium in the downtown Red Deer Public Library branch.
The regular First Friday will run on May 4 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
An opening reception will run on Saturday, May 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. Come and meet the students and enjoy their interesting artwork.


What is it: The AvidSport, a watch that tracks your fitness and syncs with your smartphone.
Price and Where to Buy: The watch is priced on a sliding scale from $99-$169 (early buyers on Kickstarter will receive the better price) at Kickstarter.com.
Can be used to track fitness, including steps walked, time spent working out, and calories burned. Use GPS to track your running path and review it on Google Maps. You can also set workout goals and compete with other users.
Usefulness: 10/10: Smart watches are always being billed as the next big thing for future technology, and the AvidSport does pretty much everything you could imagine. It's most useful for fitness and golf fanatics.
Value: 10/10. Compared to the Apple Watch (which will retail for $349), the AvidSport is a steal, at basically half the price.
Durability: 8/10. It's water-resistant and made from anodized aluminum, but like a smartphone, if you drop this face down at the wrong angle, it's likely to crack the screen.
Portability: 7/10. It's a watch, so it's portable. However, if you have smaller wrists, you may find the AvidSport bulky and heavy to wear.
Final Verdict: Are you the kind of person that yearns for a smart watch on your travels? The AvidSport is great to keep track of your fitness and to stay in contact no matter where you roam, and it's a great price point. However, if you're just not that in to tech stuff, then we can safely say you'll be fine without this product. If you want to combine your fitness tracker and phone into a watch though, you can't beat the AvidSport.

D. Impulsivity and impatience at performing tasks
Patients with a left-sided stroke (right hemiplegia) commonly are slower in organization and performance of tasks and may have a fearful, anxious response to a stroke. Overconfidence, spatial disorientation, and impulsivity are more commonly associated with a right-sided stroke.
The female patient has been brought to the ED with a sudden onset of a severe headache that is different from any other headache she has had previously. When considering the possibility of a stroke, which type of stroke should the nurse know is most likely occurring?
A. TIA
B. Embolic stroke
C. Thrombotic stroke
D. Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Headache is common in a patient who has a subarachnoid hemorrhage or an intracerebral hemorrhage. A TIA is a transient loss of neurologic function usually without a headache. A headache may occur with an ischemic embolic stroke, but severe neurologic deficits are the initial symptoms. The ischemic thrombotic stroke manifestations progress in the first 72 hours as infarction and cerebral edema increase.
The patient with diabetes mellitus has had a right-sided stroke. Which nursing intervention should the nurse plan to provide for this patient related to expected manifestations of this stroke?
A. Safety measures
B. Patience with communication
C. Mobility assistance on the right side
D. Place food in the left side of patient's mouth.
A patient with a right-sided stroke has spatial-perceptual deficits, tends to minimize problems, has a short attention span, is impulsive, and may have impaired judgment. Safety is the biggest concern for this patient. Hemiplegia occurs on the left side of this patient's body. The patient with a left-sided stroke has hemiplegia on the right, is more likely to have communication problems, and needs mobility assistance on the right side with food placed on the left side if the patient needs to be fed after a swallow evaluation has taken place.
The nurse in a primary care provider's office is assessing several patients today. Which patient is most at risk for a stroke?
A. A 92-year-old female who takes warfarin (Coumadin) for atrial fibrillation.
B. A 28-year-old male who uses marijuana after chemotherapy to control nausea.
C. A 42-year-old female who takes oral contraceptives and has migraine headaches.
D. A 72-year-old male who has hypertension and diabetes mellitus and smokes tobacco.
Stroke risk increases after 65 years of age. Strokes are more common in men. Hypertension is the single most important modifiable risk factor for stroke. Diabetes mellitus is a significant stroke risk factor; and smoking nearly doubles the risk of a stroke. Other risk factors include drug abuse (especially cocaine), high-dose oral contraception use, migraine headaches, and untreated heart disease such as atrial fibrillation.
A patient has been receiving scheduled doses of phenytoin (Dilantin) and begins to experience diplopia. The nurse immediately assesses the patient for
A. an aura or focal seizure.
B. nystagmus or confusion.
C. abdominal pain or cramping.
D. irregular pulse or palpitations.
Diplopia is a sign of phenytoin toxicity. The nurse should assess for other signs of toxicity, which include neurologic changes, such as nystagmus, ataxia, confusion, dizziness, or slurred speech. An aura, focal seizure, abdominal pain or cramping, irregular pulse, or palpitations are not associated with phenytoin toxicity.
Which characteristic of a patient's recent seizure is consistent with a focal seizure?
A. The patient lost consciousness during the seizure. Incorrect
B. The seizure involved lip smacking and repetitive movements.
C. The patient fell to the ground and became stiff for 20 seconds.
D. The etiology of the seizure involved both sides of the patient's brain.
The most common complex focal seizure involves lip smacking and automatisms (repetitive movements that may not be appropriate). Loss of consciousness, bilateral brain involvement, and a tonic phase are associated with generalized seizure activity.
Which nursing diagnosis is likely to be a priority in the care of a patient with myasthenia gravis (MG)?
A. Acute confusion
B. Bowel incontinence
C. Activity intolerance
D. Disturbed sleep pattern
The primary feature of MG is fluctuating weakness of skeletal muscle. Bowel incontinence and confusion are unlikely signs of MG, and although sleep disturbance is likely, activity intolerance is usually of primary concern.
The patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus with hypoglycemia is having a seizure. Which medication should the nurse anticipate administering to stop the seizure?
A. IV dextrose solution
B. IV diazepam (Valium)
C. IV phenytoin (Dilantin)
D. Oral carbamazepine (Tegretol)
This patient's seizure is caused by low blood glucose, so IV dextrose solution should be given first to stop the seizure. IV diazepam, IV phenytoin, and oral carbamazepine would be used to treat seizures from other causes such as head trauma, drugs, and infections.
The nurse provides information to the caregiver of a 68-year-old man with epilepsy who has tonic-clonic seizures. Which statement, if made by the caregiver, requires further teaching?
A. "It is normal for a person to be sleepy after a seizure."
B. "I should call 911 if breathing stops during the seizure."
C. "The jerking movements may last for 30 to 40 seconds."
D. "Objects should not be placed in the mouth during a seizure."
Caregivers do not need to call an ambulance or send a person to the hospital after a single seizure unless the seizure is prolonged, another seizure immediately follows, or extensive injury has occurred. Altered breathing is a clinical manifestation of a tonic-clonic seizure. Contact emergency medical services (or call 911) if breathing stops for more than 30 seconds. No objects (e.g., oral airway, padded tongue blade) should be placed in the mouth. Lethargy is common in the postictal phase of a seizure. Jerking of the extremities occurs during the clonic phase of a tonic-clonic seizure. The clonic phase may last 30 to 40 seconds.
The nurse is caring for a group of patients on a medical unit. After receiving report, which patient should the nurse see first?
A. A 42-year-old patient with multiple sclerosis who was admitted with sepsis
B. A 72-year-old patient with Parkinson's disease who has aspiration pneumonia
C. A 38-year-old patient with myasthenia gravis who declined prescribed medications
D. A 45-year-old patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis who refuses enteral feedings
Patients with myasthenia gravis who discontinue pyridostigmine (Mestinon) will develop a myasthenic crisis. Myasthenia crisis results in severe muscle weakness and can lead to a respiratory arrest.

Any Oppos out there work as a Program Manager? I'm looking at software packages appropriate for a large program (100+ projects). MS Project and P6 are already on the list. We would like to have a multi-user solution, but are shying away from a cloud-based solution since the cloud-based package they bought for project management isn't living up to expectations.
Anyone have a favorite software package that I should consider?


CAREWare is a free, electronic health and social support services information system for HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program recipients and subrecipients. It produces a compliant xml file for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Data Report (ADR) as well as the Ryan White Services Report (RSR).
If these data are not entered correctly, or not kept up to date, it may result in missing or inaccurate data.
Many ADAPs that use CAREWare import data from other sources such as HIV Surveillance programs and Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). It is critical that data from these sources are mapped properly when imported into CAREWare so that they are accurately reflected in the ADR. Built-in reports in CAREWare enable users to review data quality before uploading the data to the ADR system. Tips for each of these areas are outlined below.
One of the important steps in managing your ADAP data in CAREWare is to setup contracts that accurately capture the ADAP services you provide. Contracts can be set up most directly by selecting Admin Options> Contracts. They can also be accessed in the ADAP setup wizard. Be sure that you are using the most recent build available from HAB.
All the defined ADAP insurance service types are included in CAREWare. However, it is important that you pick the correct subservices so the services map correctly for the ADR. The table below lists the available CAREWare subservices that you can use for each ADR insurance assistance category. You can choose any of the subservices within the category and the subservice will map correctly. However, if you create your own subservice, it will not map correctly for the ADR. If you do not see this list available in CAREWare, you have not set up your contract correctly and should contact the CAREWare helpdesk for assistance.
They exist in CAREWare because previously in the ADR, ADAPs did not have to distinguish between full and partial premiums. This was changed in the 2014 ADR, but the subservice categories are still listed in CAREWare. ADAPs may use these subservices for local purposes only, but any subservices reported using these categories will not be reported in the ADR.
A common question that we received is where application received date and enrollment status are recorded in CAREWare.
Application received date is recorded in the Application Date field in the upper right corner of the ADAP demographics screen, just above the Enrollment History link.
When you click on the Enrollment History hyperlink the ADAP Enrollment History opens.
The Latest Enrollment Date and ADAP Enrollment Status on the Demographic tab hold the current values for the client from the ADAP Enrollment History screen.
Enrollment status is tracked through the Enrollment History field. Current Enrollment Status is simply the latest value in the Enrollment history. This is the value that is exported in the ADR.
There are two options for importing data into CAREWare: HL7 and the Provider Data Import (PDI). If you are working with a flat file that you need to move into the PDI template tables, you can use the data translation module (DTM). A typical "flat file" is one created in MS Excel. Click here to find out more about these options. These approaches require preparation on your part, so be sure to start early if you're going to be importing data.
Run Client Report – This report provides you with an aggregated report of all ADAP data, with hyperlinks that enable you to click on a hyperlinked number, resulting in a list of clients who comprise that number.
View Client File – Enables you to review what is in your ADR XML using a report format.
Validation Report – This report compares all of your CAREWare ADAP data against the ADR web system validations.
If you use CAREWare for the ADR and the RSR, you should be aware of the distinction between common and shared data.
Common data include most of the information on the Demographic tab and on the Annual Review tab. Each unique client has core information that is available to all providers that serve that client. If one provider changes a common data element, such as race or HIV status, the change will show up in the client record for all providers in the CAREWare network that serve that client. Similarly, for fields entered in the Annual Review screen such as insurance status, that information can be seen and edited by other providers that also serve that client.
Unlike common data, shared data must be requested and "turned on" (using features accessed in the Setup Wizard). It is a "view only" type of sharing. That is, if providers elect to share data, then other providers serving the same client can view the data, and even use it in reports, but cannot edit it. The CD4 and Viral Load tests are viewable in the ADAP domain if Clinical Sharing is turned on.
There are several resources available to CAREWare users. Contact the CAREWare Help Desk via email or phone (877-294-3571) if you have specific questions. The CAREWare listserv is also a great resource where you can ask questions of other CAREWare users – click here to subscribe. The HRSA HAB website also has a CAREWare webpage that includes the latest CAREWare build and manuals. Finally, you can also find documentation and frequently asked questions on the CAREWare Wiki page.
If you've developed manuals, job descriptions or other CAREWare resources and would like to share them with other users, contact the TARGET Center.

651 Broadway, Staten Island, NY 10310 – We have a sunny classroom at the Broadway YMCA. Parking is free. Wheelchair accessible.
We're on Broadway, between Colonial Ct and Coughlan Ave --- across the street from the Staten Island Zoo.
When you enter the building, go to the main desk (to your left as you enter) and ask to be buzzed into the classroom area to attend Quaker meeting.
From Manhattan: Go to Whitehall Terminal and catch the 9:00 am ferry to Staten Island, arriving in St. George at about 9:30. Walk to Bus Ramp C. Catch the S48. Expect to be on the bus for 15 or 20 minutes once it starts rolling. At Burgher Ave (Shell Station on your right) you'll be one stop away. Get off at Broadway (in front of McDonald's). From there, you can walk 3 tenths of a mile or catch the S53 bus and go two stops.
To walk from Forest and Broadway: Standing at that bus stop in front of McDonald's, you will be on the northeast corner of Broadway & Forest. Looking across Forest toward Santander Bank, you'll be facing south. Walk south 3 tenths of a mile along Broadway. The Y will be on your left.
To catch the bus from from Forest and Broadway: Go to the northwest corner of that intersection (in front of Metro PCS). The Bay-Ridge-bound S53.is scheduled to depart at 9:50, 10:00, 10:10, etc. Take the S53 south along Broadway, two stops to Colonial Court (in front of the zoo). Continue southbound on foot just a few steps and you will see the Y across the street on your left.
From Brooklyn: Take the R train toward Bay Ridge. Get off at 86th Street. Catch the Port Richmond-bound S53 (southbound) on the west side of 4th Ave at 87th St. Expect to be on the bus for 20 or 25 minutes once it starts rolling. When the bus passes a cemetery at the top of a hill, you are getting close. The bus will then angle to the right from Clove Road onto Broadway. Get off at the next stop (Coughlin Ave). The zoo will be on your left. Walk north (same direction the bus had been traveling) on foot half a block to the Y, which will be on your right.
From within Staten Island: Catch any bus that intersects with the S53. See the ends of the Manhattan and/or Brooklyn directions (above) for the best stop to get off the S53, depending on which direction you're coming from.
You will know Meeting for Worship is in session if no one verbally greets you when you enter. That does not mean you are not welcome. You are welcome!
Meeting for Worship is not necessarily completely silent. Participants may be moved by the spirit to respectfully share vocal ministry. That includes you, even when it's your first meeting; but please note that vocal ministry is not a sermon nor a debate, nor is it idle chatter. It's only the concise expression of "that of God within." It is customary for an individual to speak no more than once during a single Meeting for Worship.


The overhead roll-up doors are made in such a way that they roll up at the ceiling instead of spreading in the tracks. They are used in most of the places such as the backyards, residences and in business facilities. There are different types of the roll-up doors, but most of them provide benefits to the business owners. You should consider using the overhead steel roll-up doors due to the following reasons.
The doors are used to provide an outside layer of metals preventing any form of accessibility by the intruders. When you use the steel roll-up doors, you will have peace of mind knowing that it will be hard for the intruders to gain access. For maximum security benefits, you should use the steel material instead of the wood, fiberglass or aluminum materials.
These materials are meant to protect the building against the extreme environmental conditions. The day to day operations and high traffic may cause damage to the normal doors but the roll-up types are able to sustain any forms of strains. Most of these materials are fitted with the rust resistance components and the spring coatings to ensure that they have a long lifespan.
When it comes to quality doors, the steel roll up doors are in the lead. Proper maintenance for the steel roll-up doors ensures that the door lasts up to 30 years. Some of the factors such as warping, rotting and cracking will not affect your doors when you take good care of them. The doors can look new for the longest time especially when you use the primers and paint coatings.
You will not have to constantly maintain the overhead roll-up doors. When you get the high quality types, you will not have the need to maintain them. It is economical to go for the low-maintenance types of the roll up steel door. It is easy to use these types of doors and they ensure that you do not get any form of injury.
These items are manufactured to accommodate different users. The doors can be installed in most of the shops and they are made of several materials, and have different colors. The materials accept the different types of paints ensuring that you customize them according to your needs.
The overhead roll-up doors save space as compared to the traditional doors. They form rolls at the ceiling ensuring that your business has sufficient space. They provide quick access to the business premises. Fixing the doors in the right manner ensures that you receive most of the benefits.

Warren Buffett is considered the world's most successful investor, due to the consistent market-beating returns he has achieved for his Berkshire Hathaway investment company. He screens for companies that have a monopoly position and strong pricing power, to ensure consistent profits, but where there is significant unrecognised value.
Ben Graham is considered the father of 'value investing' - a strategy of screening for companies whose share prices do not reflect their asset backing and dividend streams. He believed that a bargain share is one where net current assets less all prior obligations exceeds the market value of the company by at least 50 per cent.
Jim Slater is one of the UK's best known investors and financial writers, who has developed a style somewhere in between out-and-out growth investing and the more conservative asset-based approach of classic value investors. He puts most emphasis on the consistency of a company's earnings growth.
US investor Martin Zweig has delivered consistently above average returns by screening for companies that have achieved 'reasonable gains in sales and earnings'. A stock screen based on his approach, run by the American Association of Individual Investors has delivered cumulative gains of over 1,329.8 per cent between January 1998 to the end of April 2009.

House of Nowzar () also known as Nowzarian (نوذریان) is an important Iranian clan in Shahnameh and Persian mythology. Nowzar ruled Iran for seven years. After his death, the grandees of Iran didn't recognize his sons Tous and Gostaham as the shahanshah of Iran and instead they gave the throne to Kayanian dynasty.

The Nowzaran family
The House of Nowzar and the House of Goudarz were in power struggle with each other. Before Kay Kavus, House of Goudarz had many power and influence. But at his time, House of Nowzar achieved more power. Before Kay Kavus, members of House of Goudarz were spahbeds of Iranian army and also, they were standard-bearer of Iran in wars, but after him, these responsibilities were passed to the House of Nowzar. At the time of Kay Khosrow, House of Goudarz regained their power. According to Toqyan-e Sakayi, Afghanestanian writer, Rostam and Siavash favored the House of Goudarz and Kay Kavus and Fariburz favored the House of Nowzar.

The civilization that emerged, in the ancient past, in strongest positions had the firmest contracts with their past, allowing the future to be extrapolated.
The invention/discovery of bronze metallurgy around 3300BCE was a quantum advance in civilization, which is why we regard the Bronze Age as a paradigm shift in our history, following the discovery/invention of agriculture (farming and animal husbandry) around 10,000BCE that ushered in the earlier paradigm shift of the Neolithic Era. Many other great discoveries and inventions followed rather quickly, including the wheel (stone blades cannot cut a precise cross-section of a tree trunk or limb, and a vertical section isn't strong enough to support a wagon), draft animals to pull the wagons, and written language (the early cities of the Neolithic Era had smaller populations who could, barely, maintain order, and smaller economies that didn't require recordkeeping).

The transition into the Neolithic Era is arguably the most important bit of our history. Nomadic groups never stayed in an area long enough, or in large enough groups to collaborate their ideas and expressions.

"A. Cities-
B. Organized Government-
C. Complex Religion-
D. Job Specialization-
E. Social Classes-
F. Arts and Architecture-
G. Public Works-
H. Writing or Written Language- "
Because language is dependent upon civilization, we cannot analyze any first hand information prior to ~10,000 BCE. Human history prior to this point is almost completely dependent upon the remnants of tribes of nomadic people from the paleolithic/mesolithic eras. Our abilities to analyze the inner workings of the human mind prior to ~10,000 BCE is extremely limited for a number of reasons.
1. The complexity and quantity of their tools are limited.
2. The estimated size of a brain is not in any way equal to intelligence. (this seems obvious, I know)
3. No psychological analysis can be completed with only movement patterns and the existence of technologies.
4. The convergence of species makes drawing conclusions about either culture's intellect difficult.
Those are just a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are plenty more. There is evidence that the arrival of biological homosapiens as we know them today first appeared around ~150,000 BCE in the form of skeletal remains - but whether or not their "minds" were as complex or advanced as ours is pretty much up in the air.

The transition into the Neolithic Era is arguably the most important bit of our history.
As the Linguistics subforum Moderator, I would suggest that the development of spoken language is in that same category. It's likely that this occurred around 70KYA, because this is when archeologists and anthropologists see a sudden explosion of complex, coordinated activities that could not possibly have been performed by people who were using their hands for signaling at the same time.
The first successful migration out of Africa, into a new place with different food and dangers, occurred a few thousand years later.
Nomadic groups never stayed in an area long enough, or in large enough groups to collaborate their ideas and expressions.
Jean Auel studied what was known about Paleolithic communities exhaustively, as she prepared to write her "Earth's Children" series of novels, beginning with Clan of the Cave Bear. She insists that Paleolithic tribes did indeed establish permanent home bases, generally caves, leaving a contingent of the elderly and lame to take care of the children, while the strong young men were out hunting.
Anthropologists say the evidence tells us that each clan established its own hunting/gathering territory, generally an area that a party could cover in a few weeks, then return home with all the food, skins, etc., that they could haul without wagons or draft animals. (The travois was a Paleolithic invention.) Since pre-agricultural communities had no way to create (much less store) any significant quantity of surplus food, during years of low rainfall (which occurred about every seven years) neighboring clans attacked each other in order to invade their territory. Paleolithic human fossils indicate that the lucky 20% who survived childhood typically lived into their mid-50s. Re-examining these skeletons with modern technology discovered the sad secret that the majority of them were killed by other humans. Apparently each tribe targeted the other's elders, since they were less able to defend themselves.
I can imagine a scene in which the warriors on both sides stop for a rest, and suddenly one yells, "Hey, the old folks on both sides are dead. There's probably enough food for all of us now. We'll be off now. See you at the summer festival next year."
With the advent of agriculture, people were able to stay in one area and cities began to form around them. . . .
Villages came first. Agriculture required people to give up their nomadic lifestyle and settle down to tend their crops and flocks. There are many things that sedentary people can do, which are impossible or impractical for nomads, such as building houses and inventing the technology of pottery--which is too fragile to carry on a hunting trip.
As their numbers increased, they would have noticed that larger communities benefit from division of labor and economies of scale, making them more prosperous and permitting new professions to arise, such as roofers, vintners, cobblers, traders, explorers, tinkerers and even musicians. This undoubtedly encouraged them to invite the (perhaps still Paleolithic) people in the next valley to come live with them and increase the prosperity of both tribes.
. . . . and with that the "Big 8 of Civilization."
The literal meaning of the word "civilization" is merely "the building of cities." A city is not just a large village. In a village, everyone knows everyone else, at least well enough to trust them and cooperate with them. As a village grows into a city, people no longer know everyone personally, so the binding force of kinship attenuates. One of the key features of a city is the creation of a formal government, since it is no longer practical for everybody to simply do what Grandpa says--especially since they don't all have the same Grandpa. One leader cannot keep the peace and adjudicate all disputes, so a hierarchy of command is established.
Another problem with villages that become cities is that business transactions become very complicated. John puts a new roof on Peter's house; Peter gives Oscar two gallons of wine; Oscar fixes the broken wheels on Mary's wagon; Mary plays the lute at Paul's birthday party; Paul makes shoes for John's baby. These people don't even all know each other, so how do they know that they've all gotten a fair deal?
They invent clever symbols to carve into clay tablets, indicating the relative values of their labor and products. Within a few generations, the symbols have become standardized and their use has spread to other facets of life.
And this, my friends, is the dawn of the technology of written language!
Paleolithic human fossils indicate that the lucky 20% who survived childhood typically lived into their mid-50s.
That 20% number would have required an average of at least ten live, healthy, and eventually fully fertile heterosexual births per woman reaching childbirth age. Arithmetically. Assuming no significant causes of death among adults, such as childbirth trauma. That is not actually possible.
Apparently each tribe targeted the other's elders, since they were less able to defend themselves
The skeletons we find were people killed in camp, in settlements, and in circumstances favoring treatment of their bodies with respect and care - not subject to wild animal depradations, etc.
She insists that Paleolithic tribes did indeed establish permanent home bases, generally caves, leaving a contingent of the elderly and lame to take care of the children, while the strong young men were out hunting.
No known stone age peoples found by literate explorers lived in natural caves, or left women with children behind without defense for many weeks on end - nomadic or not.

Huh??? In the benighted regions of the earth, right up into the 20th century, it was common for couples to have eight or ten children. In fact one of the primary causes of the economic collapse of the Third World in the 20th century was the introduction of modern scientific medicine. The vaccines and antibiotics that we brought to these people resulted in most of those eight or children surviving. They thought it was a godsend, without realizing that their Third World economies (many of which were governed by despots and kleptocrats who cared not at all for the conditions their people lived in) couldn't possibly support that many people.
1. Multi-regionalism is not yet dead as a hypothesis, so at least a nod to its existence is appropriate.
2. For a single origin hypothesis dates of the first successful migration range from 60,000 to 120,000 years ago. While the suspicion is that it is the most recent date an absolute statement such as your "occurred a few thousand years later" is misleading.
Re-examining these skeletons with modern technology discovered the sad secret that the majority of them were killed by other humans. Apparently each tribe targeted the other's elders, since they were less able to defend themselves.
That is an interpretation. Please provide citations for this work. There are at least two alternate explanations I can think of that do not require that conclusion.

When it comes to these sort of things peoples focus a lot on semantics, yes evolution happens but it certainly is not random and that is the fundamental flaw in the theory of evolution.
The mutations are random, but whether they help or hinder an organism isn't random. That's determined by the organism's environment.

What does quantum entanglement have to do with Hebrew, or superviruses?
Meditate on it I don't feel like elaborating right now maybe another time when am in the mood.
The implicit rules of this and other forums do not give you that option. You have made assertions. You are required to support them. Please do so.
I think it might be better if we all just meditate and these views about quantum entanglement, writing backwards, and superviruses are never written down again. By anyone.

Virus enter a cell and can attach the viral DNA to the host DNA. So it makes sense, that to form a new virus all we need to do is reverse this process; cause part of the DNA, to exit the bulk DNA. This might look like a missing gene after the fact. Theoretically, if the virus inserted DNA and then the exiting virus was stagger by a few bases, we get a new virus.
What is also needed is the viral coat that allows it to enter a cell and viral machinery that makes the virus active. This can be supplied by another virus that is similar and already active in the cell. The net effect is this allows virus to change with time, while also being acceptable to the host, since the host makes most of the virus.
If we change the DNA we also change the configurational potential of the DNA. This reflects the change in potential relative to water. This cause the outside of the virus to form a new equilibrium shape.

Huh??? In the benighted regions of the earth, right up into the 20th century, it was common for couples to have eight or ten children
It has never been common for a population of human women reaching childbearing age to average even ten - let alone the 12 to 15 an 80% childhood mortality actually would require, minimum - live healthy births.
It was common to have 8 - 10 children - and a couple of miscarriages, of course. It was also common to have one or two, to have none, to die in childbirth or from some other cause as a young adult woman, and so forth. It was not common to have the twenty or twenty five live healthy births and half a dozen miscarriages many women would have had to deliver to average out the others.
An 80% childhood mortality rate is not reasonably sustainable for humans - that population will go extinct over time.
There are different types of inventions. An external or tangible invention, like the wheel, allows mechanical advantages that provide leverage for economies of scale, so we can support more people. The invention called language is different, especially written language, in that it provides leverage for the mind, instead of the body. This can also lead to economies of scale.
If we look at the invention of the wheel, say you could use the wheel, but only if you can make your own. The invention was out there for all to use, quite early, but you could not just buy it off the shelf. You would need to make you own wheel if you wished to use this invention. This was a bottleneck, since not everyone can participate in the invention, since few people will have the skills. The bottleneck is anyone can buy and use, but few could fabricate.
Not all people, with only spoken language and natural memory forward integration, could reverse engineer the wheel, after they saw it, because the mind was not yet structured to do this on a wide scale. Humans needed a way to create fixed points in memory, from which a grid and an internal flow chart could appear. The inventions of the mind, such as writing, allowed this flow sheet and grid, opening the door to invention extrapolation; reverse engineering.
Writing created a new fangled mind grid, using time sequences and flow sheets; dear diary. This opens the door to civilization because now invention was sustainable with scale. The wheel is not bottlenecked and lost after the fabricator dies or his skills begin to atrophy. This sustainable platform allows more free time to practice the new mind in other areas of internal skills. The ancients saw this from the gods since it was so different and powerful.
Adam, in tradition, was skilled in math and science. Math was another written language that could be used to support manipulation of nature via science; dimensions, amounts and costs (commerce and construction).

Cavalli-Sforza is the acknowledged authority on human migrations, after his recent, exhaustive comparison of human DNA all over the planet. His work indicates that the first migration out of Africa occurred about 60KYA, during an ice age when food was scarce. Members of the San tribe or "Bushmen" (which still exist, but because the desertification of the Sahara caused southward migration of all the African peoples, now live in southeastern Africa, far from the Red Sea) traveled to Asia (a much easier voyage than today, with the low sea level caused by an ice age). They didn't find the weather any better there, so they kept walking. Eventually they wound up in Australia (again, island hopping was much easier with the low sea level) and were the ancestors of the Native Australians. Due to the vagaries of the weather, Australia was a paradise of bountiful food. About 10K years later, during warmer weather, a second band of adventurers set out for Asia. There was now food there so they settled and spread out slowly. He has maps of the migrations of their descendants to where they live today.
There was a big PBS special on this work several years ago, and it's easy to find on the internet.
The most touching moment (for me) was when his crew was in Arizona, studying the Navajo. They insist that they were created right there, have never migrated and are not related to anybody. As the narrator was chatting with the chief, one of his helpers was quietly showing photos of people they'd met elsewhere to the chief's son. His eyes lit up as he grabbed one and said, "Daddy! Daddy! This guy looks just like uncle Ernie."
The chief stared at the photo, then turned directly to the camera and said, "Then I guess what you white men have been saying is true: We really are all brothers."
The guy who looked like Uncle Ernie was a member of the Yenisei tribe in Siberia. Linguists have recently found what seem to be relationships between the Yenisei language and the Na-Dene family in North America, which includes Navajo, Tlingit, and several other languages. If this is true, it may tear down the "5000-year curtain" that has prevented us from finding relationships between languages more than 5,000 years old--since vocabulary and grammar can change completely in that time.
"Written language was caused in full by water."
Written language and mathematical equations are extremely valuable in creating job specialization. Tangible inventions (as you call them) require specialization to create - inversely the monetary value established for commerce is another specialization entirely. One that wouldn't be possible without writing. When I brought up the "big 8" (which is mostly a term professors use to teach their students about the necessities for stable civilization) one of the eight was job specialization. Society would collapse without individuals assuming roles for its betterment.
Cavalli-Sforza is the acknowledged authority on human migrations, after his recent, exhaustive comparison of human DNA all over the planet.
Fraggle, you are the linguistics specialist here and yet you try to slip by a "the" when an "an" is appropriate. Cavalli-Sforza is an acknowledged authority on human migration. There are other, authoritative, views. I suggest neither of us has sufficient grounding to declare which of these experts, if any, is correct. And - to the best of my knowledge - some continue to speak out for multi-regionalism. (An idea which, from my limited knowledge, sounds very silly and which therefore has a 37.5% chance of being true.)
Fossils allow us to infer things about the physical evolution of life. Books, like the bible, contain intellectual fossils which tell us things about human psychological evolution. One does not find a fossil of a dinosaur, and assume this means dinosaurs walks among us, today. The same is true of ancient symbolic fossils. These describe a different time and show us some of the earlier stages that lead to the present.
Spoken language, according to science, is much older than written language. The most recognized fossil symbol in the bible, is the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Knowledge of good and evil is connected to law. Laws give us knowledge of good and bad/evil.
I have often wondered why the tree of knowledge was in paradise, in the first place. The reason was, it was not taboo to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, until that day God created a law that said, one can no longer eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Sin is not imputed where there is no law. It was not a sin to eat of this tree, until the law or taboo was created. The change of attitude had to do with law relative to spoken and then written language.
If a law is not written or not cast into stone, but it is only spoken, law can be organic. The brain forward integrates, we will go through changes of life, the context of things will change, and new generations will appear, etc., leading to an organic approach to law, since it is not fixed in writing.
This approach to law would be more like a group of teen friends who have certain rules for their group. These laws/rules may apply over several years, but they will change as the group and its members change, or as new and old members come and go. This suggests before written language, law was around (tree of knowledge was in paradise), but in a more flexible and organic, verbal only, format. Law was part of paradise; natural.
The taboo or change was connected to written law about 6000 years ago. The invention of writing was useful for commerce, science, construction, which where the skills of Adam; science and math. Somewhere along the line, the new invention was applied to the verbal law. Writing will cast law into stone, where it will lose it organic nature since can no longer forward integrate; fall from paradise. Once law is cast in stone, it can outlive it usefulness and start to be more of a problem than solution. The law cannot forward integrate, due to fear of punishment, adding fear to the human psyche; defensiveness.
Picture if a group of teen friend write up their group rules, in front of a lawyer with violation now under the threat of legal consequences, with this contract lasting a lifetime and may even apply to their children. They would need to stop in time and become repressed. The word was God and therefore sacred to them. What should change organically, starts to last to the point of causing the human psyche to become unnatural. The bible fossils give us clues into some of the behavior changes that start to appear. The first writing of law was sort of like an ancient doom's day invention, that would change the human mind forever.
I can almost see the natural group, who is building up civilization, sensing how written law would change things for the worse, since some things are designed to change and not be cast into stone. To prevent the potential future problem, they paradoxically wrote a single law that made it taboo for anyone to write laws, thereby setting the cornerstone in the mind; original sin. This one paradoxical stone shifted the human psyche.
In the New Testament, Jesus symbolically does away with written law or commandments contained in ordinances. He went back to the original verbal law; inner voice of change that is organic and natural. This removes original sin because the tree of knowledge is open again, because the new verbal law is fluid and not written in stone.
It would require a kind of simultaneous convergence over a wide geographic distance. It's possible, just not the most likely avenue.
I agree, but it remains a view that has not yet - to my understanding - been comprehensively excluded. Fraggle has made what is, in essence, an absolute statement about an issue upon which we cannot yet make absolute statements. What he has presented is perhaps the most likely scenario, in nature and timing, but to declare it as an absolute (and to accord one of its main proponents superior authority) is to move beyond science into the realm of opinion. Fraggle is entitled to that opinion, but he should identify it as such.

Q: Can css be used to collapse whitespace around inline elements with varying line heights? Suppose one is designing a box to frame some content, and wants that box to always have consistent space between its borders and text inside of it, regardless of the text's line-height. Is there a solution aside from custom negative margin on each box?
In theory this should actually be the "responsibility" of the content (in this case, the text), assuming our box is some kind of component allowing transclusion (e.g. web component slots), so I'd be especially interested in any way to style an inline element so that its line-height-generated top and bottom spaces collapse, regardless of line-height value (intentionally not calling them margins to not confuse them with the margin css property).
Here as an runnable example of the issue - the space between the magenta border and the inner text varies due to line height, and if the magenta border wasn't there, it would appear that each box has different padding.
This has probably been answered, but unfortunately since the terms are so generic it's hard to research (though I did try).

.foo {
  max-width: 200px;
  border: 2px solid blue;
  padding: 20px;
  line-height: 2;
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: top;
}

.foo>* {
  border: 1px solid magenta;
}

.baz {
  line-height: 1;
}

.bar {
  line-height: 3;
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci impedit porro fuga ab magnam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci impedit porro fuga ab magnam.

A: One idea that may solve half the issue is to change the line-height of the text to a smaller value than the container. Doing so, the height of the text will be smaller than the linebox and you can align it to the top. For this you need to consider an extra container.

.foo {
  max-width: 200px;
  border: 2px solid blue;
  padding: 20px;
  line-height: 2;
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: top;
}

.foo>* {
  border: 1px solid magenta;
}

.baz {
  line-height: 1;
}

.bar {
  line-height: 3;
}

span {
  line-height:1;
  vertical-align:top;
}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci impedit porro fuga ab magnam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci impedit porro fuga ab magnam.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Adipisci impedit porro fuga ab magnam.

As you can see the text will always be aligned on the top whataver the line-height but the issue remains on the bottom. It's like we moved the issue to only one side.
Here is a related answer to better understand the alignment trick : https://stackoverflow.com/a/54190413/8620333

Health officials warn public not to use heartworm disease medicine for animals as treatment for COVID-19 in humans
Posted: Apr 16, 2020 / 09:52 AM CDT / Updated: Apr 16, 2020 / 09:52 AM CDT
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – The state is following warnings issued by federal officials to urge the public not to use medicine intended for animals as a treatment for COVID-19 in humans.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development are urging residents to not use the drug ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
The drug is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in some small animal species for prevention of heartworm disease. It has also been approved as a treatment for certain internal and external parasites in various animal species as well as humans.
"We understand Michiganders' concerns about COVID-19 and the desire to find a cure quickly," said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy for health. "However, there are no approved preventive medications for COVID-19 in humans, and we do not want anyone being harmed by taking medications inappropriately. Staying home and practicing good public health practices like washing hands frequently, wearing a homemade mask if you must go out, and covering coughs and sneezes appropriately is the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19."
Recently, the drug gained some attention because it was mentioned in a pre-publication research paper.
"We cannot emphasize this strongly enough: this study was not tested in humans or in animals," said State Veterinarian Nora Wineland. "It was done in a petri dish. As intriguing as the results may be, at this point, they mean little to nothing in the actual prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in either animals or humans. Ivermectin sold for use in animals has not been evaluated for safety in species other than those listed on the label and may cause serious harm if taken by people."
These warnings follow similar warnings from the FDA on April 10th.
In the letter, the FDA states it is "concerned about the health of consumers who may self-medicate by taking ivermectin products intended for animals, thinking they can be a substitute for ivermectin intended for humans. People should never take animal drugs, as the FDA has only evaluated their safety and effectiveness in the particular animal species for which they are labeled. These animal drugs can cause serious harm in people. People should not take any form of ivermectin unless it has been prescribed to them by a licensed health care provider and is obtained through a legitimate source."
