This residence was modeled after the cottage style houses that can be found in rural France and England. The entrance is tucked at the rear of the house facing a garden courtyard and motor court. This gives our client privacy from a busy street and allows them to have their living room and den open to the casual courtyard. The studio building is separated from the main house by a narrow covered walkway with gardens on either side. The reclaimed tile roof blends easily with the earth tone stucco wall and dark wood trim. A casual dining garden is tucked away between the main house and studio building.

Q: iOS: Disable keyboard when begin editing TextField How can I disable the keyboard when I touch-up inside a UITextField?
What I want to do is show a custom digital keyboard instead of the default one.

A: If I understand correctly that you are looking to create a custom keyboard in the app, I don't think we need to disable the default keyboard when we touch-up inside a UITextField.
We just need to create a custom view and assign it to the inputView property of the UITextField to replace the default keyboard.
For example, something like this:
yourTextField.inputView = yourCustomKeyboardView

See more here.

A: Note: For Objective-C (Xcode)
In your viewDidLoad: set delegate for textfields which you want to disable.
self.textfield.delegate = self;

and insert this delegate function:
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
     if (textField == yourTextfiledOutletInstance) {
         [self showCustomkeyboard];
        return NO;
     }
   return YES;
}

//Show custom keyboard
-(void)showCustomkeyboard{
  // Handle your operation here to show custom keyboard
}

A: set the UITextField delegate in the ViewController class, and then add this method in the class
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
      [textField resignFirstResponder];
      return NO;
  }

A: Use resignFirstResponder to dismiss your keyboard.
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField {
      [textField resignFirstResponder];
      return NO;
}

set inputView on the UITextView to the custom view you want to be used in place of the system keyboard.
myTextView.inputView = myCustomView;

Going a step further, instead of just 512 MB of RAM, the new Raspberry Pi 2 boasts 1 GB of RAM.
"Fortunately for us, Broadcom were willing to step up with a new SoC, BCM2836. This retains all the features of BCM2835, but replaces the single 700MHz ARM11 with a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 complex: everything else remains the same, so there is no painful transition or reduction in stability."
Going beyond what Raspberry Pi has offered to users in terms of software, there is a Snappy Ubuntu Core version that is available to run on the device. This will be the first official version of Ubuntu that can run on the Raspberry Pi.
Also of note, Linux will have company on the Raspberry Pi, Microsoft's Windows 10 will be available in a compact form to run on the 2 devices as well.
"We're excited to announce that we are expanding our Windows Developer Program for IoT by delivering a version of Windows 10 that supports Raspberry Pi 2. This release of Windows 10 will be free for the Maker community through the Windows Developer Program for IoT."
BackBox Linux 4.1 was released on January 29, providing users were the first incremental update since the 4.0 release in October of 2014.
Black Lab Profession 6.0 SR3 was released on January 31, also marking the first update for that release since October 2014.


Oslo's main theatre opened its doors in 1899, featuring plays by Bjørnson, Holberg, and Ibsen, and as a consequence put Norwegian plays on the map, so to speak.
The theatre still preforms all the old classics as well as exciting new plays. Nationaltheatret came to be Ibsens theatre, and attracted, and indeed still attracts, most of Norway's actors of repute.
Located by the high street Karl Johan en route to the Royal Palace, it's strategically placed close to lots of other interesting highlights as well!

MAYFIELD, N.Y. – The process goes by the unassuming name of Workshop in a Box. It is a method for analyzing the functions of water and wastewater utilities, then creating plans to improve their management and long-term sustainability. The Village of Mayfield was like many communities across the U.S. – suffering from equipment breakdowns without sufficient reserves to replace them – when assistance from the New York Rural Water Association helped them create a sustainability improvement plan.
Steve Grimm, a NYRWA Wastewater Technician, contacted the community several times as part of his work with the wastewater program.
Mayfield was not chosen for the pilot program, but the discussions created an opportunity for Grimm to introduce the Workshop in a Box program.
Workshop in a Box was developed by a combined effort of the USDA and EPA. It is specifically-designed for small and rural utilities, relying on input from the community to design their plans.
Grimm showed the clerk some of the plans he'd helped other communities develop and eventually presented the concept to the mayor. After officials agreed to the concept, Grimm helped assemble a committee to assess the performance of the wastewater utility.
One of the issues facing Mayfield was an aging facility that suffered from frequent equipment failure.
"In the past few years, the plant has experienced increased operation and maintenance costs and equipment breakdowns," Mayfield Mayor Jamie Ward said in a letter.
The plant began operation in 2001. While Mayfield's rates provided for basic operations, the funds were insufficient to keep a preventative maintenance schedule, plan for long-term stability, or fund capital improvements.
He explained that communities had to balance the need to fund operations, maintenance and future replacement costs with the pressure to keep utility rates low. Utilities in this situation may maintain service on thin budgets, but face disaster when a major piece of equipment fails and there is no reserve fund to purchase a replacement.
Operational improvements are only one of the ten key management areas addressed in the Workshop in a Box. Other areas include Water Resource Adequacy, Product Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Community Sustainability & Economic Development, Employee & Leadership Development, Financial Viability, Operational Optimization, Infrastructure Stability, Operational Resiliency and Stakeholder Understanding & Support.
Mayfield's plan was to start by improving three areas before trying to make other improvements.
Each part of the improvement plan also has a timeline.
Some of the early plans for Mayfield include creating a sustainable financial structure, doing inventory for spare parts, instituting a proper maintenance schedule and having NYRWA conduct an energy audit. Even though the plans are in the early stages, the program is already benefiting the community.
"We estimate at least $10,000 has been saved by having NYRWA assist and guide the Village," Ward said.

good-ness: what the locals eat.
I must.have.that.book - what a great title and cover. You are so energetic - my wish would be for someone to SERVE me sugoku oishii japanese food all day. Loved the rice story too - you are so funny.
oh yummm! i want some rice...and some japanese food!!! NOW!
Totally sympathize with the rice withdrawal. It's the starch staple in Hawaii as well. Um, but the rest of the food looks better than Spam, which is the other Hawaii staple. Ask your friends if they ever heard of a spam musubi (heh).
That is hilarious about shopping for rice... I would totally do the same thing!! That melon looks yummy and you are right, that box is adorable!!
i am a rice lover, too. wish we had all those choices. i think your method sounds about perfect!
I totally understand too!! I have an Asian background, so I grew up with rice....three meals a day, pretty much. I'm a little better now as my partner cooks very yummy food, from Asian dishes to Greek, Italian, West Coast Canadian etc, etc! He's a natural!
My weakness is food- good food. mmm that book looks super! YUM Can you get that outside of Japan?
I've done exactly your same rice-choosing method....except I did it for cold meats in a grocery in Italy (while on a month-long holiday). How funny! If the locals buy it, must be pretty good.....We eat a lot of rice here, too. Both the husband and I think its a lot less heavy than mash.
The rice in Japan is far superior to what we can get over here in the US. You are so lucky! I was visiting in Japan 3 years ago and still remember the rice!
Yeah, fruit is so expensive in Japan.
I understand what you are saying about rice. My husband is Filipino and had to get Chinese when we were in Italy because he was going through withdrawl. The only other family in the Chinese restaurant in Italy was Filipino too.
I just saw a similar melon for sale here in Singapore - for SGD50! (that works out to be about USD33 or so). You have to tell me if it's worth that kind of money.
that recipe book does look great. Your cooking always is presented so well.

Q: System.StackOverflowException: 'Exception_WasThrown' using TreeView I am using VS2022(V17.1.6) 64bit and have a C# Winform with a TreeView control. This displays the hierarchical relationship between Product Categories and Products within each category - maximum nodes around 33,000. All working well with a subset of the actual Category/Product structure. On completion of basic testing, I switch on the display of the full Tree which configures and displays ok. I can expand and collapse the tree ok. However, part of the functionality in creating the tree is to allow the user to select all or a subset of the Category/Product nodes. My recursive code (to build a list of selected nodes) when it gets to around 7,500 nodes it generates the StackOverflow exception. I have 16GB of RAM - each node has around 200 characters of information associated with it. If my maths is correct I should be coming no where near maxing out my available memory. As you can see I have a terminating check at the beginning of my recursive function (at the crash point the vars are 7587 and 33159 respectively) so it is not in a recursive loop. I think my code is ok - does this look like a memory maxing out problem? BTW the 'TraverseDownProductTree' is identical to the shown code except for a test against "PROD" instead of "CAT". This works fine for small subsets of the tree (say 5000 nodes) so if it is a memory problem I will either have to cut down my 200 chars or buy more memory :-( thanks in advance
private void TraverseDownCategoryTree(int selectedTreeIndex, int lastSelectedTreeIndex)
    {
        if (selectedTreeIndex == (lastSelectedTreeIndex)) return;

        TreeNode currentNode = TreeSelectedNodesList[selectedTreeIndex++];
        if (currentNode.Name.StartsWith("CAT"))
        {
            int categoryId = ((LevelTag)currentNode.Tag).Id;
            SelectedCategoriesList.Add(categoryId.ToString());
            TraverseDownCategoryTree(selectedTreeIndex, lastSelectedTreeIndex);
        }
        else
        {
            // PROD nodes found so start creating the export file

            selectedTreeIndex--; // set index for the traverse down the products starting at the proper node i.e. the node that is being processed here
            TraverseDownProductTree(selectedTreeIndex, lastSelectedTreeIndex);
        }
    }

RUGBY UNION - Blackett: Wasps need to right wrongs against confident Tigers
Wasps Head Coach Lee Blackett. Picture by David Rogers/Getty Images.
Aaron Sutcliffe 7th Jan, 2022
WASPS Head Coach Lee Blackett admitted his side need to right the wrongs of last week ahead of a daunting match against local rivals Leicester Tigers.
The Coventry-based club were beaten 26-18 at Sale Sharks in their last outing as they dropped to 10th in the Gallagher Premiership table.
Leicester have won all 15 of their competitive matches this season and victory against Wasps would equal a club-record run of victories and match a Premiership record of 12 successive wins.
And Blackett insists his side must improve if they to end the Tigers impressive run of wins and hopes Wasps can be the first club to beat Leicester this season.
Blackett said: "The motivation is about fixing up quite a few wrongs from last week, parts of game were moving well, we'd gone three weeks on the bounce scoring 30 points, we were poor last week.
"Our main focus is on trying to get as many match points as we possibly can, it's a dangerous game if you just concentrate on Leicester.
"Our motivation comes from the fact we're at home against a team just around the corner from us.
"Everyone is probably saying the same, it would make it a little bit nicer [if we were the first team to beat them]."
However, despite the local rivalry between the two clubs, Blackett was full of praise for Leicester's remarkable start to the season.
He added: "Leicester started to turn a corner last season and they've clicked into gear, teams like that, when they go on those runs, they find a way of winning right at the death of games.
"I've been at this club when that's happened, even when you're losing with a couple of minutes to go you're still confident.
"That's where they are, they're a really confident team, confident in what they're doing, they'll challenge us in different ways with the way they kick.
"They put a lot of emphasis around their kicking game and about building territory and the set-piece, they're the two key areas."
The defeat at Sale marked Wasps seventh loss in their last eight fixtures and Blackett feels his side now need to improve defensively having impressed in attack in recent weeks.
He added: "We were disappointed, we were second best throughout, we started well but after that we lost far too many collisions and we became quite individual and started forcing things.
"We made far too many errors with the ball and we conceded a couple of soft tries, it's something we're addressing.
"At the start of the season we were going really well defensively, our attack was off a little bit and we were winning games through our defence.
"It seems to have gone the other way, we've spent a little bit more time on our attack after the Premiership Cup games and scored 30 points in three games back-to-back which is three try bonus points.
"We weren't good enough on both sides of the ball at the weekend, Sale's defence really got on top of us."
Wasps clash with Leicester takes place on Sunday, January 9 with kick-off at 3pm at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Successfully balancing water user safety with shark conservation
By Tamlyn Engelbrecht, 15th December 2017
After 13 years of watching over Cape Town's most popular beaches, Shark Spotters remains the primary shark safety strategy adopted by the City of Cape Town, promoting beach safety for countless locals and tourists alike. But is the programme keeping on top of its game and achieving its objectives of balancing the needs of people with the conservation of white sharks in Cape Town waters?

A recent study conducted through UCT's Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa aimed to answer this question by looking at how sharks and people overlap in the inshore zone at popular beaches in False Bay, and how effective shark spotters are at getting people out of the water when a shark comes a little too close for comfort. To save you some time, we have summed up the key findings from the study. But if you are up for it, check out the full article here.
Sharing the inshore zone
The first key finding of the study was that sharks and people have similar patterns in their use of the inshore zone on a daily and seasonal basis, with the numbers of both peaking during the hours of midday to early afternoon in the spring and summer seasons. Although the reasons for white sharks utilizing these shallow beach habitats are unrelated to the presence of people in these areas, this overlap still needs to be managed, as it increases the potential for conflict between sharks and water users.

Enter Shark Spotters, the only programme of its kind in the world, with a unique system of visual (flags) and auditory (a siren) cues to warn people of shark presence and risk level when entering the water. The primary goal of this programme is to promote beach safety for people without harming sharks through the use of lethal mitigation methods such as shark nets. For a detailed explanation of the Shark Spotters warning system check out this page on the Shark Spotters website.
The flag warning system used by Shark Spotters.
Effectiveness of spotting
If you are a frequent visitor to Muizenberg beach you will know that nine times out of ten when you arrive you will be greeted with this sight:

The infamous black flag, warning water users that spotting conditions are less than ideal. The good news arising from the study is that the frequent use of the black flag does not necessarily mean that spotters are blind to sharks cruising along the inshore zone. In fact, 85% of shark sightings recorded at Fish Hoek and Muizenberg beach over the last 10 years took place in sub-optimal spotting conditions under a black flag. However, it is important to remember that spotters can never guarantee that sharks will be sighted, and therefore use of the ocean will always be at your own risk.
Effectiveness of warning system
When a spotter detects a shark cruising along the inshore, they will follow one of two warning protocols, as illustrated below:
Different warning procedures used by Shark Spotters in the event of a shark sighting.
The good news is that the "high risk" warnings (the white flag and siren) are finding their mark, and successfully getting people out of the water when a shark enters the surf zone. This is not surprising, as if you've ever heard the shark siren ringing out across Muizenberg beach, you will know that it is enough to get most people walking on water towards shore. Fortunately however, the study also showed that this warning system doesn't scare people off from getting back in the water for hours after a sighting. In fact, within an hour of the spotter giving the "All clear", water user numbers are right back up to where they were before the sighting.

Unfortunately the second warning protocol, the red flag, which indicates "high shark alert" seems to have limited effectiveness. This flag is used for lower risk sightings, when a shark is not in close proximity to water users. It is also used when certain conditions make it more likely that a shark will enter the surf zone, such as when there are baitfish in the bay. This flag is raised without the startling auditory cue of a siren, and seems to have little to no effect on the number of water users present. Although the red flag signifies a lower risk category than the white flag and siren, it is still important for people to be aware of the increased danger of entering the water under a red flag, and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Ongoing education around the meaning of the red flag is therefore an imperative part of the programme, as well as feedback from the community about their perceptions of risk when the red flag is flown.

Maximising the effectiveness of Shark Spotters is crucial, as the study also showed that the occurrence of a fatal shark incident significantly reduced the number of water users present for at least three months following the incident. This confirms that shark bites have negative repercussions for communities and local businesses that rely on local water sports and tourism for income.
All in all, Shark Spotters definitely fits the bill as a proactive, environmentally responsible and sustainable shark safety strategy. The programme successfully mitigates the risk of conflict between water users and white sharks during times of peak overlap between these groups, when the risk of a negative interaction is highest. By significantly reducing this risk, the programme is able to protect people, sharks and the local economy from the negative repercussions of shark bites.
Shark Spotters
Cape Town is a city of ocean lovers – and great white sharks. But rather than eliminating these beautiful animals, the City has found a way of living with them. Shark Spotters are always on the lookout for sharks and warn beachgoers when one is approaching.

Kosovo: Serbs stage protests at UN tax collection centres
Responding to a series of demonstrations held by Kosovo Serbs to protest the setting up of tax collection centres in northern Kosovo, the United Nations mission in the province said today that the establishment of these points was "nothing new" and that all Kosovars would gain from the collected revenues.
Noting that for the past two days the protesters had been blocking roads around Leposevac and Zubin Potok, Michael Keats, a spokesman for the UN Transitional Administration (UNMIK), said the regulation enabling the collection points dated from 1999. The first tax centre had been set up in February 2000, he said, pointing out that the excise and sales taxes being levied were internal taxes that would benefit all residents of Kosovo.
The demonstrations had been peaceful, Mr. Keats reported, adding that one protest held in northern Mitrovica had dispersed without incident earlier in the day.
Comprehensive efforts were under way to ensure that the facts were understood by the local population, Mr. Keats said. He added that UNMIK "expects those who wish to raise questions about the tax collection centres to do so in proper channels, not by committing illegal acts or blocking access."
Meanwhile, UNMIK head Hans Haekkerup said in Pristina today that the working group drafting a legal framework for Kosovo's self-government had reached agreement on 99 per cent of the document. He noted, however, that the last 1 per cent would involve "very tough negotiations." Pending issues included the official name of the document, the Presidency, the constitutional court and the right to hold a referendum. Participation in the deliberations by Kosovo Serbs had been "politically very useful," he added.
In another development, the international security presence in Kosovo (KFOR) announced this morning that five Serb men recently released by "ethnic Albanian extremists" in the Presevo Valley were turned over to Serb authorities near the village of Mejdia this morning.

INSPIRING Journeys has bulked up its 2019/20 Australia and New Zealand brochure, introducing four new Australian itineraries to its portfolio. The fresh brochure features 13 small group journeys ranging from five to 22 days in length.
Speaking to travelBulletin at the official launch of the program, AAT Kings and Inspiring Journeys managing director Hans Belle said the brand had reached a "pivotal" time in its growth.
Belle said the move to grow the Inspiring Journeys program was supported by "really strong, double digit growth" in 2017/18.
"We're feeling really confident about the category of small group touring," he said.
The additions include the 10-day Ultimate Territory in Style, which will explore Kakadu's ancient gorges, wetlands and wildlife before flying to the Red Centre and experiencing Uluru and the mystical domes of Kata Tjuta.
Also new are the seven-day Tasmania's Footsteps and Trails, eight-day The Unchartered Coast and seven-day A Journey to the West.
Inspiring Journeys was previously promoted within AAT Kings' product range and since expanded to a stand-alone brand, with Belle noting it was performing "really well" on its own. "What we can see is that [Inspiring Journeys] is going to be a really important part of the portfolio but it needs to be at arms-length, it needs to be stand-alone and it can't be distracted," he said.
"It just is a different product, a different experience and a different value proposition and so that's how we treat it," Belle added.

Untangling the GSE Foolishness: The D.C. Circuit Should Upend Treasury's Net Worth Sweep
Richard Epstein Contributor
Right now, we are in the midst of a two-front struggle over the precarious status of the two Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE's), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Looking forward, the political inquiry is what role Fannie and Freddie should have in the future market for residential home mortgages.
A first path is receivership of the GSEs, where the government liquidates them, at which point it is necessary to decide what to put in their place. One option is to have private firms be the only sources of mortgage capital. That approach could apply both to the primary mortgage market, in which banks issue loans to borrowers, and to the secondary mortgage market in which these residential home mortgages are packaged and securitized. Another option is to keep some government entity (by whatever name) around as the lender or purchaser of last resort.
A second path is recapitalization of the GSEs. Recently, Mel Watt, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency spoke on the issue and his uneasiness reflects broader social constituencies, some of whom want Fannie and Freddie to be allowed to rebuild their capital so that they can support larger roles in the residential mortgage market. Unfortunately, this plea will fall on deaf ears if government policy makes choose to ignore the heavy burden of the past dealings with the GSEs.
Today, it is increasingly apparent that neither path will gain any traction so long as the government resists efforts to clean up the litigation mess that originated with the September 2008 Fannie and Freddie bailout, and that was severely exacerbated with the net worth sweep (NWS) in the Third Amendment to the original Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (PSPA) of August 17, 2012. More concretely, no matter how much obfuscation is used as cover, everyone in the industry knows all prospects for reorganization of the residential mortgage market are dead so long as the litigation over the Treasury's and the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) asset-stripping persists. In light of that history, no private investors will, or should, put large amounts of funds into long term residential mortgage markets if their capital is exposed to the confiscation risks like those represented by those 2012 events. No investor will put his chickens into a henhouse when the guard has been revealed to be the fox.
In my work as a consultant to several institutional investors, I have previously written about how this saga has unfolded. In September 2008, Fannie and Freddie were thrown into a conservatorship that was after a few months operated by Edward DeMarco, who was then the Acting Director of FHFA which had been created under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA). DeMarco managed conservatorships in which about $188 billion was advanced to Fannie and Freddie in exchange for a senior preferred stock that carried with it a 10% cash dividend, which if not paid translated into a deferred obligation with a higher interest rate of 12%. The previous preferred shareholders of Fannie and Freddie remained holders of the newly christened "junior" preferred, which in turn had an absolute preference over the common stock, 79.9% of which was ceded to Treasury in the form of warrants with a nominal exercise price. The remaining 20% of the shares remained with the original common shareholders. For the present analysis, the soundness of that original financial arrangement is not relevant. But the legality of the NWS most certainly is.
At this point, progress in dealing with both the present and future problems depend on a correct resolution of Perry Capital v. Lew, the oral argument for which was heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on April 15, 2016 before a panel consisting of Circuit Judges Janice Brown and Patricia Millett, and Senior Circuit Judge Douglas Ginsburg. The oral argument was a long and tortured affair, but once the basic issues are unpacked, it becomes clear that the earlier opinion of Judge Royce Lamberth on September 30, 2014—which wrongly sustained the government's position on all counts— should not be allowed to stand given its incurable internal weaknesses. Judge Lamberth thought that the government was entitled to have its motion to dismiss granted on the strength of pleadings. He was half right -- the case could have been decided on the pleadings, but summary judgment should have been awarded to the plaintiffs, not the government. A close examination of the SPSPA supports the conclusion that the entire Third Amendment was an elaborate device to strip the private shareholders of all their wealth in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, by devices so crude that if there has been adopted by private parties, all of them would have gone to jail.
In order to defend that stark conclusion, it is necessary first to understand how the original bailout package of September 2008 worked. The key challenge with the bailout was to accomplish two ends at the same time. First, it had to make sure that Fannie and Freddie remained in effect as viable entities. It was well understood that liquidation of a huge portfolio of about $5 trillion in assets carried with its serious systematic risks to the housing markets in particular, and to larger financial markets. Yet at the same time, Treasury was concerned with adding those $5 trillion in debt to the federal government's balance sheet, which is why the government's taking government common stock was kept below the 80% figure at which consolidation is required. Hence the preference was to keep the two companies in operation, with the cash subsidy arranged for by Treasury. Second, it was equally important to make sure that Treasury did not engage in a massive giveaway to these private shareholders of Fannie and Freddie. The goals therefore were for the government to provide financing for the GSEs to operate and get paid for providing that financing but also to share the value with a residual private investor stake, a "win/win" outcome.
In order to achieve that result, Congress in the summer of 2008 put two separate mechanisms into HERA, without fully understanding the interaction between them. The first, contained in 12 U.S.C. § 1719(g), gave Treasury "temporary authority" to do three things: "(i) provide stability to the financial markets; '(ii) prevent disruptions in the availability of mortgage finance; and '(iii) protect the taxpayer." Taken in isolation this section makes eminently good sense because point (iii) provides a principled safeguard against the improper giveaway. Yet standing alone, that provision does not consummate a deal. Indeed, in that same subsection HERA also provides that the government cannot impose its bailout arrangement on any covered entity, including Fannie and Freddie, but must secure corporate consent for the deal to go forward. Another provision reads "[n]othing in this subsection requires the corporation to issue obligations or securities to the Secretary without mutual agreement between the Secretary and the corporation."
Complying with these institutional constraints on the Treasury's role has staggering implications. So long as the two GSEs remained under the control of their private managers, Treasury and the directors could be expected to bargain at arm's length to make a deal mutually satisfactory to both. Just that situation, for example, held when the Federal Reserve under different statutory authority negotiated a difficult bailout arrangement with the private directors of AIG that imposed strict financial terms on the company but in the end allowed it to return to the private market in a win/win transaction, both as planned, and as executed.
The difficulty with the system came from the other side of the transaction, once FHFA exercised its power to displace the private directors of Fannie and Freddie and exercise their power itself. Under the statutory scheme Edward DeMarco had, as conservator, the same fiduciary duties to the private shareholders as the directors that he displaced. But his incentives were very different, given his close ties with Treasury, where he had previously served. It is therefore proper to question whether in August, 2012 FHFA needed to impose the net worth sweep under the Third Amendment.
To see why FHFA did not need to take that radical step, it is critical to note the options that were left to the two sides under the 2008 agreement, so that each could protect itself. On the Treasury side, there was the obvious risk the bailout could turn sour, so it would be unable to reclaim the money that it advanced. That is one reason why the dividend coupon stood at a hefty 10% when the rates for federal funds stood at 2.0% in August, 2008, and the short-term Treasury bills were priced at between 1.65 and 2.11%. The high dividend (and the equity kicker) provided an ample insurance cushion against just that risk. In addition, the agreement provided Treasury with the absolute ability to refuse to make further advances to both GSEs. (Indeed, one wonders why at the same time the nation's largest banks were given 5% dividend coupons on their preferred stock and only charged warrants for only 3 to 5% of their equity value.)
On the other side, the two GSEs were given a valuable option to defer payment of the dividend at any time, and for any reason, so long as they agreed to accrue the debt on the unpaid amounts at 12% interest, that is, at two points higher than they had to pay if the dividend payments were made in a timely fashion. There was, moreover, no transfer of control to Treasury built into the transaction, no matter how many times the GSEs exercised their deferment options. Hence Treasury could not displace the conservators and put its own people in charge even if all cash payments were deferred. At times the option to defer was called, inaccurately in the case of the PSPAs, an "in kind" payment. Thus Section 2(c) in defining the dividend rate, which provides "if the Company shall have for any reason failed to bay dividends in cash in a timely matter . . . the "Dividend Rate" shall mean 12%". But there was no non-cash option on the table, and no mention of any penalty. There was only the right to defer payments and to accumulate. Needless to say this 12% option was costly, because the more the debt was deferred, the greater the financial amount of the claims that Treasury had to be paid before anything was left over for private shareholders.
The agreement also recognizes this point in Section 3 that calls for an "Optional Pay Down of Liquidation Preference," which once again supplies a valuable benefit to both Fannie and Freddie. Clearly a dividend payment of 10% is stiff. It can be avoided, moreover, by both Fannie and Freddie. The process takes place in two stages. In the first, Fannie and Freddie have to pay back the deferred payments with interest on them. Once that is done, they can then use any extra cash they have to reacquire the shares of Senior Preferred in full, so that those shares "shall be deemed to have been redeemed as of the date of such payment." There is here no possibility that Fannie and Freddie can go to capital markets to issue shares or borrow funds on more attractive rates than the dividend on the Senior Preferred, the way normal companies can seek and secure the lowest cost of financing operations. But the redemption privilege does allow them to use extra profits to get itself out of the conservatorship, and allows them to do so unilaterally, consistent with the general effort to reduce the duration of the conservatorship. In contrast, in the event Fannie and Freddie do receive proceeds from new issues of capital stock, these must be used to pay down the outstanding preferred, lest Treasury find itself in a priority battle with a third party.
In dealing with these issues, Judge Lamberth ignored the redemption option and sought to downgrade that valuable option into a penalty, even though the option worked to the unambiguous advantage of private shareholders. The normal penalty is like the late fee built into my home mortgage: "If payment is received after X date, a $Y late fee will be charged." That mandatory payment is then added to the monthly bill and is subject to immediate collection. No one would describe the added late fee as an option that worked to the borrower's advantage. But the choice of characterization, however inept, has real consequences. Understand the transaction correctly, and it rules out any possibility that Fannie and Freddie could find themselves in some kind of a death spiral, in which Treasury had to make them addition advances so that they in turn could make the timely dividend payments to the company.
The government's entire argument in support of the NWS was that it was needed to stop the endless downward spiral of payments the GSEs were obligated to make under the 2008 agreement. But there was no such obligation, and the government could not point to any provision in the PSPA that required these subsequent advances. On this view, it is quite irrelevant was the financial status was at the time of the Third Amendment. The conservator that made the agreement owed its fiduciary duties exclusively to the private shareholders of Fannie and Freddie. Treasury remains its adversary throughout the negotiations, solely by virtue of the fact that they become holders of a senior preferred stock and warrants on the common stock. Acting as conservator, FHFA had to treat Treasury at arm's length. It did not owe its fiduciary to Fannie and Freddie as reconstituted entities, at which point it would have to balance the supposed interests of the junior preferred and common shareholders against the Treasury's senior preferred and warranties on the common. Its sole focus remained the same after September 2008 as it was before the conservatorship began.
On this view of the transaction, the entire process of discovery, however interesting from a historical point of view, is irrelevant to the legal issues in the case. So long as the private shareholders can prove that the NWS benefited only Treasury and not itself, they have made out the both claim of a breach of fiduciary duty and takings. In this regard, it is simply impossible that anyone thought that both sides benefitted from the modification of the original agreement when in fact it stripped the junior preferred and common shareholders of all value. It is preposterous to claim that this result was a surprise to the parties in FHFA and Treasury—financial experts all—who put the deal together. And even if by some miracle they claimed ignorance of the obvious, the clear conflict of interest meant that Treasury would have to show that fair value was received by the very private shareholders that it wiped out, which again is impossible. The most that discovery could prove is what was known from the face of the record. I have looked at the various documents, and they contain nothing that disputes this characterization.
Once these understanding are clear, it is possible to understand the course of the oral argument. The initial presentation was given by Theodore Olson on behalf of Perry Capital. He was immediately questioned by Judge Millett. Two of her statements are especially instructive. First at page 6 of the transcript she says:
JUDGE MILLETT: Well, surely that decision whether to require dividends in cash or in kind is exactly the type of judgment that's going to be conferred on the Agency's conservator that we could superintend, would you agree with that?
But would you agree that we certainly couldn't say, we couldn't say the conservator erred and enjoined them, or a declaratory judgment, they should have done a liquidation rather than preference rather than cash.
The answer to this question is as follows. As to the first point, in general the conservator should be given the choice between a cash payment and an in-kind, i.e. deferred, payment. The only time that this choice could be questioned would be under some version of the business judgment rule, which would require the private shareholders of Fannie Mae to demonstrate that this decision was made to impose extra costs on them, and not to provide them with benefits, which would have been a breach of the duty of loyalty had it occurred. But of course nothing of the sort took place, so that the issue was effectively moot.
The second part of the question is more difficult because it is clear that HERA does refer to two separate tracks, one for the conservator and one for the receiver, where only the latter role has the legal power of liquidation. But even if it is supposed that the conservator can decide to go through the formal procedure to switch into liquidation mode, it hardly follows that he could simply transfer all of Fannie and Freddie's assets to the Treasury. At this point, basic requirements are those called for in the stock certificates. First, pay off the deferred dividends, and then redeem the outstanding stock. But no matter which route the transaction takes, the private shareholders are entitled to have a hearing to determine the size of their residual interest under the most elementary principles that insist that no property can be taken without the hearing required as a basic matter of procedural due process.
Judge Millett's next question raises a very different matter. She insists that (at page 12):
it's a conservator permitted by law to say the scheme that is in place under the PSPAs and the First and Second Amendment isn't going to work in the long-term, it's only going to increase the amount of money that they owe, they're going to keep, like I said, taking money, borrowing money just to pay us back money, and instead, we need to come up with a new solution, and that new solution says you will give us all those profits whatever they are, if they're zero we get nothing for the money that we're loaning you and the risk that we're exposed to.
At this point, she is talking about the very different question of whether Fannie and Freddie are "taking money, borrowing money just to pay us back money." She then returns to the same theme when she observes: "It was stopping the hemorrhaging, if they were just going to keep, imagine they just keep losing money, or if they get profits that are less than the $19 billion they owe."
But these arguments fundamentally misconstrue the agreement in several ways. First, they make it appear that Treasury is required to make additional advances when in fact it is not. Nor does the Third Amendment stop any hemorrhaging in any sense of the word, because the deferment option protects the private shareholders, and the ability to deny further advances protects Treasury. Second, it makes it appear falsely that there is some quid pro quo in the arrangement insofar as Fannie and Freddie are left off the hook when and if it turns out they have no money. But there is no fresh consideration at all. Under the initial agreement, they do not have to pay money back if they are unable, so that they gain nothing by surrendering the full profits of the business to obtain the advantage that they already have. In order for this deal to make any sense there has to be at least one scenario in which the private shareholders are better off under the NWS than they are without it. But it is evident from the text of the Third Amendment that Treasury did not give them anything whatsoever that they did not already have. The correct response of the Director, in the event an enterprise cannot make immediate payments, is to refuse to turn over the upside when it can simply defer the payments, allowing Treasury to share in future profits when and if the enterprise returns to profit. Receiving some uncertain benefit is always better than receiving nothing at all.
At this point Judge Millett shifts to an institutional argument by taking the view that somehow the NWS is justified because the ultimate decision on the disposition of the GSEs belongs with Congress, not the Director of FHFA. In her view, that means that the short-term objective is to "keep things in a stable condition until the policy makers [Congress] make a decision." But stabilization is fully achieved without the Third Amendment, which completely upset the fiscal apple cart.
When Theodore Olson protests that the NWS does honor HERA's mandate to keep the entities sound and solvent, to which Judge Millett replies that it is sound and solvent because both GSE are "making all the money, that sound like the definition of sound and solvent." But again she misses the point, because the question is not whether the entities are sound and solvent, but whether FHFA has honored its fiduciary duty to protect the private shareholders, not the government as holders of the Senior Preferred, to whom they owed no fiduciary duty. All that her remark shows is that the Treasury as holder of the senior preferred had nothing to fear, no reason to propose the Third Amendment except to loot the private shareholders. She is therefore just flat wrong when she states: "Well, a fiduciary to whom, because this statute is different, it doesn't say a fiduciary to stockholders, it's a fiduciary serving the best interests of the entity or the agency. She is just wrong when she then states: "Treasury can and did protect itself by contract". It makes hash of the notion of a fiduciary to assume that it owes duty of loyalty to two the government agencies whose joint interest is adverse, to those of the common and preferred shareholders of Fannie and Freddie."
Fortunately, the record contains little evidence that Judges Brown and Ginsburg shared Judge Millett's warped view of the transaction. It is therefore noteworthy that even after the oral argument Treasury continues to insist on the financial necessity for the NWS in its latest court filing. Formally, on June 8, 2016, the Treasury opposed the plaintiffs' request for supplementation of the record. Ironically, it is easy to agree with Treasury that further discovery is not needed, but only because the public evidence is so clearly against them that any further inquiry into the GSEs financials leading up to the NWS is irrelevant. The sweep is indefensible no matter what that financial condition. Nonetheless, Treasury continues to ignore the option of the GSEs to defer current payments in exchange for paying a higher interest rate through future payments. Treasury observes that the GSEs have not made sufficient income to pay off the ten percent dividend in the five of the last six quarters. But at no time does it mention that the dividends owing to it would have been far smaller if the GSEs had been able to use any payments under the NWS above the 10% cash dividend to reduce the outstanding principal and therefore the dividend burden from that point forward.
Thus, as the plaintiffs pointed out,
the NWS netted Treasury an astonishing windfall of more than $100 billion in 2013 alone. To date, Treasury has collected $230 billion in dividends from the Companies—$43 billion more than Treasury disbursed to the Companies, and $128 billion more than it could have collected under the terms that governed Treasury's investment before the illegal change. And, despite these enormous "dividend" payments, Treasury claims to retain its right to be paid an additional $189 billion—ahead of any of the Companies' public shareholders—upon the Companies' liquidation. (Bold in original)
Nonetheless, Treasury then claimed that even with the NWS it obtained only a modest rate if any return, and chastised the plaintiffs for "their mistaken assertion that the Third Amendment allowed taxpayers to 'reap massive, windfall profits." Indeed, their one sentence of financial analysis reads: "Between 2008 and 2011, Treasury invested $187.5 billion in the GSEs. Through the first quarter of 2016, Treasury has received $245.6 billion in dividends, which equates to an annual return of around 7.5%." But at no point does it state how it reached this conclusion. As the Rule of Law Guy pointed out, Treasury's calculations make the simple error of ignoring Treasury's purported entitlement to get paid back the $187.5 principal amount invested in the GSEs, which has to be added back to calculate the overall return. Indeed, it would be exceedingly odd if Treasury were left worse off after the NWS than it was before. And Treasury just might have bothered to note that if the NWS is upheld, the residual value of the junior preferred and common is $0.00. In essence, once the common and junior preferred are wiped out, the senior preferred is a not preferred stock at all. It is the only relevant stock outstanding and is de facto a single class of common stock that gets all the upside and suffers all the downside. So the deal is really simple. Treasury took all residual shares for a zero price, and now pleads its own poverty as a defense.

The Centennial Cougars baseball team rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the second inning to beat the Franklin Rebels 12-6 on Tuesday night.
Both starting pitchers held the other team scoreless in the first inning. But Franklin's bats caught fire in the bottom of the second, scoring the first three runs of the game.
Senior second baseman Tripp Costello drove in the first run on a RBI single, followed by a two-run RBI single from left fielder Tucker Smith that capped off the three-run inning for the Rebels.
Centennial had an answer for the Rebels in the top of the third, tying the score 3-3. The big hit came from Cougars starting pitcher Solomon Washington, who smashed a two-run RBI double to start the comeback. Centennial also scored on a passed ball in the inning.
The Cougars continued their hitting clinic in the fourth, tacking on three more runs in the frame. Cougars nine-hole hitter Alec Beaman picked up a two-run RBI single in the inning. Franklin had a failed pickoff attempt at first that got away from the first baseman to score the other run for Centennial.
The hit parade continued in the top of the fifth as the Cougars tallied three more runs in the inning. Beaman sizzled at the plate, contributing a two-run RBI single. The other run was scored on an error by the Franklin at third base.
Cougars scored two runs without a base hit in the top of the sixth on two passed balls that went off the catcher's glove.
Franklin started a rally in the bottom of the sixth with a three-run double by senior first baseman Jackson Jarvis.
Centennial scored the final run in the top of the seventh with a dropped ball by the catcher on a relay throw from the outfield. Cougars starting pitcher Solomon Washington picked up the win, striking out 11 batters in 5.1 innings.

Evan Bayh, Democrat Senator of Indiana, announced that he wouldn't seek reelection because he's tired of the "partisan bickering". Sound familiar? Maybe he's channeling my blog, after all I've been complaining of how counterproductive infighting is for months now. It appears that Bayh isn't the only one who feels that animosity isn't appropriate for The Hill as four other Democrats aren't seeking reelection either-- Chris Dodd, Connecticut; Byron Dorgan, North Dakota; Ted Kaufman, Delaware; Roland Burris, Illinois-- and the Democrats aren't alone, there are four Republicans-- Kit Bond, Missouri.; Jim Bunning, Kentucky; Judd Gregg, New Hampshire; and George Voinovich, Ohio.
We can speculate all we want about why these Senators are resigning but the fact remains that partisanship, bickering and obstruction have all been major themes in Congress, not just in the past year, but for YEARS. It's just that over the past year or so we Americans have finally taken our heads out of the sand and opened our eyes and have educated ourselves on our country and the repercussions of what our ignorance has bred. We created these Big-Spending-Selfish-Egomaniacs. Yep, we, the people, have given Washington free reign to do whatever they wanted for the last few decades and we haven't held them accountable for anything. Now we are sitting around pointing fingers and passing blame when we should be looking in the mirror. We elected these people; we gave them the power, yet we are blaming them when we are the ones who put them there!
He's right. We DO need to come together as a PEOPLE because we are AMERICANS first and foremost and it is our responsibility to not only elect the right people to represent us but it's our obligation to ensure that we hold them accountable. We have NOT done that and yet we wonder WHY we're in this current mess. There should be no questions since WE dropped the ball seeing as we, the people, were negligent in our duties as American Citizens! Yet we sit here and smugly condemn the Liberals and Conservative as if we're above reproach. The audacity!
Bayh said he wished that Washington "would work better." Well, people, it's NOT going to work better until WE make it work better! Blaming everyone and everything else for the plight of our country isn't going to fix a darn thing. Concentrating on a problem NEVER corrected it but a resolution sure has. Part of that solution is working TOGETHER because we are in this TOGETHER. We seem to forget that we are the UNITED States of America and we SHOULD want to work together to make her successful.
We can sit back and speculate all we want on how Bayh is resigning because he's not reelectable or how Chris Dodd knows he'll "lose" or even that Judd Gregg is only resigning because he's going to run for President in 2012. None of these assumptions are going to repair our current situation, which is fragile, at best.
However, educating ourselves, getting involved and making sure that we have the very BEST representation in Congress WILL make a difference. I propose that each and every one of us find out about our State Representatives and their voting records. This link will provide you with all the information you need to arm yourself with KNOWLEDGE and with that knowledge you can then set yourself upon a course that is right for your state which will ultimately be right for our country.
Truthfulness and righteousness can be contagious so let's spread them as they are what we and our country need.
It was not a "wonderful" experience for me and I most definitely don't think it worked out "really well". Although, for me, it did confirm the "usual suspects" and I must say I'm very displeased that yet again they disrespected me and my blog.
I could go on a tirade and tell all of you that I know exactly who started what, when and with what comments, because I have taken the time to read through all the comments, something I'm sure no one else will take the time to do to find the truth. I also have the ratio of unfavorable comments between Liberals and Conservatives. But people who hide from the truth don't want to hear facts so I'll keep that information to myself as I wouldn't want facts to interfere with anyone's fantasy. Suffice to say that I know the truth and I will keep it in mind for future comment sections.
I just want to say one last time that I have been nothing but respectful to everyone I've ever encountered in the blogosphere, and one would think since I've never done anything nasty or discourteous, that maybe, just maybe, out of courtesy for me, people would refrain from immature, irrational rantings and discourteous, insulting comments. But I guess that's too much to ask from people who aren't mature or reasonable and who lack even the most basic sense of decorum.
The purpose of my blog is to express myself and my views and to allow others to express themselves and I truly, with all my heart, believe it can be done in a civil manner. This, however, is the conundrum. Too many people don't believe that the Left and the Right can politely disagree therefore we have bickering and insults. The trolls pop in with one-liners and off-topic rants which veer people off course and egg people to say things that otherwise wouldn't be said. This is understandable, to a degree, because the tone in our Country has escalated in such a way that everyone is running on their last nerve so the slightest provocation sets them off on a tirade that would make Rahm Emanuel blush, but it's absolutely counterproductive to the blogging topic.
Attacking other readers isn't productive either. NOT agreeing with the statement DOESN'T give you the right to attack the messenger. I don't always agree with a contributor/commenter but I NEVER attack him/her. I word my statements in a polite manner and I believe that is why I am always welcome on other blogs.
"As for Pam's responses the last few days have been very eventful for her I know. But I think and I agree with some of the folks that she had their posts deleted, she has been going overboard in by trying to show how "fair and balanced" she is and thus bending over backwards to the left like Truth101 and TAO.
As for my own experience here whenever I try to have to have a reasonable conversation here with other posters, .... (and will continue to do so) -- some people gang up on me so badly that it jus isn't worth my while.
And since the Scott Brown victory, and Obama's speech at the SOTU, the Troll attacks are at their highest and meanest.
With that in mind I would like to say that I believe in blogging etiquette consequently I have a set of rules that I TRY to maintain—they are at the top of my blog for anyone who hasn't read them. I also practice what I preach by acting respectful and civil on EVERYONE'S blog and NO ONE can EVER dispute that FACT.
I would like to say that not only have I deleted vile and disgusting comments but I have deleted comments that were totally OFF-TOPIC. Under my "Cindy McCain Supports Gay-Marriage" post there were Conservatives who bashed Satyavati because of her name and religion. I ask ALL OF YOU: would you have kept those kind of comments in YOUR section? I also deleted comments that were about abortion, Gitmo and Terrorism. Again, I ask ALL OF YOU, should I have left those comments intact? They had absolutely NOTHING to do with GAY-MARRIAGE! I have been FALSELY accused of being UNFAIR because NO ONE has ALL the comments EXCEPT me and I feel that I am owed an apology because I have been nothing but civil and respectful to EVERYONE.
So, here is your open thread people BUT NO NAME CALLING BECAUSE I WILL DELETE THOSE COMMENTS I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY!
New Jersey resident, Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as Obama Girl, lip-synced a YouTube video about her "crush" on Candidate Barack Obama back in 2007. Her "tune" regarding Obama has since changed and she now gives him a B- because she wishes he would've spent his first year in office more focused on the economy.
I am in 100% agreement with the former Obama Girl! I can't imagine anyone aspiring to be an Edwards Girl! Although his illegitimate daughter is stuck with the title whether she likes it or not as John Edwards has finally acknowledged the fact that he sired her with mistress Frances Quinn Hunter while his wife, Elizabeth, battled with cancer. In my opinion, Edwards' infidelity tops all Republican Cheaters combined.

Jello is a passion project of mine that started as a University entrance test. The player would pull a joystick, and let go like a slinky to make the jelly character jump.
Since 2018, I started remaking Jello in Unity, and have not stopped working on it since. First as a side project, graduation project, and eventually leading to me working on Jello for a year full time.
I am very proud of what Jello is today. There is a public demo on Steam, and soon enough I am planning to release the full version.
Custom Physics
The core for the jello physics were laid down a long time ago. When I made the first prototype, I didn't know much programming, let alone physics programming. It was my first ever attempt of making a game. As such, I made a lot of mistakes in the physics code, but in all the right ways! For the current version, I optimized and cleaned the physics code, and added a lot of tweaks to make the movement more nice and juicy.
Project Management and Collaboration
Although it's a project I started myself, I have not been working on it all on my own. Over time, I worked with multiple concept artists to push the look of Jello further, hired one artist as an employee, and outsourced the server setup for User Generated Content, leaderboards, and replays.
In Game Level Editor
I've made a one of a kind level editor where anyone can create beautiful scenes in minutes. Using procedural decorations, I make sure that the user has just enough control, but none of the worries of making a level look pretty.

Business Associate Settles HIPAA Investigation for $650,000
The U.S. Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the agency responsible for enforcing the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules, has just sent a strong message that business associates are not immune from scrutiny. On June 24, 2016, in a settlement that is the first of its kind, Catholic Health Care Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia ("CHCS") agreed to pay $650,000 and enter into a corrective action plan to resolve alleged violations of its obligations under the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
This settlement culminates the indications of increased business associate liability that OCR has made since the Omnibus HIPAA Regulations went into effect on September 23, 2013. In March and April of 2016, OCR entered into two separate settlement agreements with covered entities that involved failure to obtain required business associate agreements. In May 2016, business associates and covered entities began receiving the pre-audit questionnaires for Phase 2 of OCR's HIPAA Audit Program. On June 24, 2016, OCR entered into this first settlement agreement with a business associate.
CHCS, the business associate involved in the settlement, is a management and information technology services vendor for skilled nursing facilities. In February 2014, a CHCS employee lost a company-issued iPhone containing social security numbers, diagnosis and treatment information, medical procedures, and other demographic information of patients of six skilled nursing facilities. The iPhone was not encrypted or password protected. Each of the six nursing homes notified OCR of the breach, which affected a total of 412 patients.
Notably, OCR's investigation of CHCS indicated that CHCS had not implemented HIPAA policies and procedures, and had not performed a HIPAA security risk assessment. Related to the absence of a risk assessment, OCR determined that CHCS had not implemented reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect electronic protected health information, including information stored on mobile devices. CHCS does not admit liability in the settlement but has agreed to pay $650,000 and submit to a two-year corrective action plan.
The facts and settlement terms of this agreement are not unique but should serve as a warning to all business associates that HIPAA obligations must be taken seriously. All business associates should be performing enterprise-wide risk assessments and implementing appropriate security measures including, but not limited to, policies and procedures to maintain the privacy and security of protected health information.
For questions regarding HIPAA compliance obligations of business associates and covered entities, contact your Lathrop Gage attorney or the attorneys listed above.
For more information regarding data privacy and security, save the date for our upcoming Data Privacy and Security Seminar, scheduled for August 23, 2016 in our Kansas City office.

There are many anti-aging treatments that your dermatologist can provide to dramatically reduce the signs of aging, but when it comes to premature skin aging, prevention is even better. Although you can't stop the march of time, you can take steps to reduce the chances of premature aging and slow down the progression of fine lines and wrinkles. Try these easy skin care strategies to preserve your youthful complexion.
The sun is the biggest culprit behind premature skin aging. It can damage the collagen and elastin in your skin, which in turn causes fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging to occur. It can also cause discolorations that make your skin look dull and sallow. Wearing sunscreen every day, no matter the season or how much time you think you will be spending outside is one of the best ways to reduce skin aging. As an added benefit, wearing sunscreen will also help to reduce your risk of skin cancer.
Eating a healthy diet will give you the nutrients necessary to maintain healthy, youthful skin. Get plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet, and avoid excessive sugar and processed foods. Cutting back on alcohol and staying hydrated with adequate amounts of water will also support your skin health.
Wash your skin daily with a gentle cleaner that is appropriate for your skin type. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which will irritate your skin. Choose a moisturizer that is right for your skin type and use it daily. Don't use any products that burn when you apply them. Your dermatologist can help you devise a skin care regimen that is that right for your needs.
Find out more about skin care by making an appointment at Swinyer-Woseth Dermatology. We can help you make the best choices for skin care for your specific skin type and offer anti-aging treatments to help you look and feel your best. Call (801) 266-8841 to make an appointment with a dermatologist in Salt Lake City.

Q: composer install Doctrine/DBAL fails in Laravel 9 with PHP 8.2 I got an error when trying to install doctrine/dbal in order to add timestamp type according to laravel doc in order to allow changing timestamp column in migration.
Here is the message
composer require doctrine/dbal
Using version ^3.6 for doctrine/dbal
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update doctrine/dbal
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - nette/schema v1.2.2 requires php >=7.1 <8.2 -> your php version (8.2.2) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - league/commonmark 2.3.5 requires league/config ^1.1.1 -> satisfiable by league/config[v1.1.1].
    - laravel/framework v9.30.0 requires league/commonmark ^2.2 -> satisfiable by league/commonmark[2.3.5].
    - league/config v1.1.1 requires nette/schema ^1.2 -> satisfiable by nette/schema[v1.2.2].
    - laravel/framework is locked to version v9.30.0 and an update of this package was not requested.

How can I deal with that ? Installing nette/schema before ?

A: It's saying that a depency cannot be updated / installed with your PHP version. Pay special atention to this line:
 - nette/schema v1.2.2 requires php >=7.1 <8.2 -> your php version (8.2.2) does not satisfy that requirement.

You have to check another nette/schema version that support PHP version 8.2.2 (your version) or downgrade PHP
