There's a possibility that you've arrived at this page with the intent of pirating a copy of Microsoft Excel or Office. My post below only covers legitimate means of acquiring Excel. There are several drawbacks to using an unauthorized copy of Microsoft software: Microsoft's anti-piracy is becoming more and more effective at preventing illegal use, pirated software and the websites they come from often contains viruses, and you won't be able to get software updates from the Microsoft in the future. Therefore, even if you were considering pirating the software, I would still advise you to consider one of the legitimate means of downloading Excel below.
There's really only one legitimate way to download the full version of Microsoft Excel for free: through an academic license. When I went to college at the University of Washington, our college had a partnership with Microsoft that allowed all eligible students to download nearly all of the latest Microsoft programs for free. Microsoft has relationships with various with different universities, but UW has a special place both because of the fact that Bill Gates used to ride his bike through campus when he was younger.
When I came to UCLA Anderson for my MBA, I was able to download the Microsoft Office suite for a very small fee. Most MBA programs will offer you either a free or heavily discounted copy of the software because Excel training tends to be prominent part of the MBA experience.
Obviously getting an education these days is very expensive and the software you get is just a perk. But for those of you that are already enrolled in school or planning to enroll soon, make sure to check with your University's IT department to see if your school has a licensing agreement with Microsoft.
Microsoft's Home Use Program is an interesting plan that allows eligible candidates to buy Microsoft products at a very significant discount, to the point where it's almost free. It's offered to people who use Microsoft Office at their place of work. The intent behind the service is to leverage Microsoft's product strength in the business community and encourage you to use the same products at home. Basically they'd prefer that you use a cheap version of Excel or PowerPoint at home, rather than try a competing product.
To be eligible, you need to be working for a company that is currently subscribed to Microsoft's Software Assurance service. You will have to provide a work email account for the company you work for to check for eligibility. However, since most academic institutions have some licensing agreement with Microsoft, most .edu addresses will qualify you. This program technically isn't free, but if you're looking to upgrade your version of Excel, this deal is really hard to pass this up.
I purchased my latest copy of Office 2013 and upgraded my Excel for $9.95 through the Microsoft HUP this year.
Microsoft allows you to download a free trial of Excel that will automatically stop working after 60 days. This option is good for people who are debating whether to use Excel or an alternative. You'll still have full functionality in using the software and 60 days is more than enough to decide whether Excel is the right spreadsheet program for you.
If you end up not being satisfied with your Excel experience, you can definitely try one of the alternatives to Microsoft Excel.
Google Docs was first created as an alternative to the Microsoft Office suite, offering a stripped down, web-based version of the software. Google Docs had a spreadsheet interface, sometimes called Google spreadsheets, which acted as a substitute for Excel but was experienced entirely within a web browser. Now all of these Google services are being merged into what Google is calling Google Drive. The intent of this name change was to merge the Google Docs suite of applications with Google's new online data storage service.
The key benefit of using Google Drive, other than the fact that it is completely free, is the software's superior collaboration functionality. Documents and spreadsheets can be shared much more quickly and easily than with Microsoft's traditional desktop file structure. Google documents and spreadsheets can be shared with as many people you want and multiple people can edit them at the same time. On the backend, Google saves a history of all the changes in case you need to revert to a prior version. Using a Google document can also replace the need for a Webex – rather than pay for expensive conferencing software, you and your colleagues can simply log into the same Google document and all be looking at the latest version at the same time.
The key disadvantages with using Google Drive is that, despite improving significantly since its launch, the spreadsheet application of Google Drive still does not have all the functionalities of Microsoft Excel. If you tend to use a lot of charts or macros in your spreadsheets, you'll find the options within Google Drive somewhat lacking. Additionally, because Google Drive is completely web based, you'll find that larger spreadsheets with several formulas tend to lag when using them.
OpenOffice is as the name suggests open source software and represents another free alternative to buying Excel. In general, whenever you use open source software, it tends to be buggier than the paid version and you'll have little to no technical support. As the open source model has evolved, however, these issues have become much less prominent than they were in the past.
If you've considered all the alternatives above and none of them suit you, you should probably consider just buying the software. Having reached this point, there are still some ways to minimize the amount you end up paying.
If you're working on behalf of a library or non-profit organization, you may be eligible to participate in Microsoft's Software Donation program. The amount you end up paying will depend on the number of licenses you order, but you'll still get the Microsoft software, including Excel, at a very steep discount. To use this service, you must go through Microsoft's Volume Licensing website and licenses you purchase are limited to a term of two years.
Well written and informative. When I came across this web page, I was trying to find if there is a difference between Office Excel Home and Professional. A loss in functionality such as full VBA support would be a deal breaker for me. Same goes for optimization functions etc. I could not find an unambiguous answer anywhere on the web; asking in a store is unlikely to get a trustworthy response and software once opened is unreturnable.
Excellent job on putting this together. I greatly appreciate your time and effort for making this blog a one-stop-shop for people like me!! Thanks again!

Q: Code won't print the string output I want, it just repeats one word The code prints some lines from a .csv file, but there's a bug in a sequence of a code and I am not sure where.
It prints them the following way:
hello
how
are you
buddy
buddy buddy buddy buddy
const char* getfield(char* line, int num)
{
    const char* tok;
    for (tok = strtok(line, ",");
        tok && *tok;
        tok = strtok(NULL, ",\n"))
    {
        if (!--num)
            return tok;
    }
    return NULL;
}

int lang1()
{
    fp = fopen("lang.csv", "r");
    int i = 0;
    char line[1024];
    const char* word[256];
    char num[] = { 1 , 2 };
    while (fgets(line, 1024, fp))
    {
        printf("%s\n", getfield(line, num[0]));
        word[i] = getfield(line, num[0]);
        ++i;
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        printf("%s ", word[i]);

    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

How it should actually print them:
hello
how
are you
buddy
hello how are you buddy
Thank you for your patience, I'd love to fix this (and have an explanation for the issue, if possible - I am trying to understand the problem)...

A: The problem is that strtok doesn't return different new strings, but rather pointers to the same string (the "source" argument). That is, you will always get pointers to the single array line. Which will only contain the last line you read.
This would have been very obvious if you stepped through the code in a debugger, as you would then see the pointer returned by strtok to always be the same.

Possible solutions is to use an array of arrays, and copy the "string" returned by getfield.
char word[256][256];
...
strcpy(word[i], getfield(...));

Bengal Cat Forums • View topic - FIP Information Resource.
Post subject: FIP Information Resource.
I thought it would be a good idea to collect together resources for information on FIP.
To provide a collection of sites and info to be accessed easily and quickly.
When the vet first said those words to me I knew so little about the disease. You need so much information so quickly at a very emotional time. And I really do believe that you need to have this information, in order to make the decisions you may have to make.
Below is a link to Dr Addie's web site, this has loads of information about FIP, what it is the clinical signs etc. There are also some excellent pdf's to help with understanding the results to the various tests.
The FAB cats info sheets, easy to understand information.
Another site with a good overview of FIP.
If anyone has any good sites or information, could they add to this thread.

Household poisons are substances in your home that can cause harm when swallowed, inhaled or touched. They include medicines, detergents, cleaning products, toiletries, garden chemicals and other common household products.
Poisoning occurs most often in children under five years of age. It's particularly common in children aged 1-3 years.
The first step in preventing childhood poisoning is to store household poisons up high in a locked cupboard, safely out of reach and out of sight of your child. If possible, the cupboard should be at least 1.5 m high and should have child-resistant locks.
Below we list common household poisons and substances that can harm your child, along with tips for keeping your child safe in different areas of your house.
If you think your child has swallowed something poisonous, stay calm. Take the container and your child to the phone and call the Poisons Information Centre on 131 126 (24 hours a day, 7 days per week, Australia wide). Don't wait for symptoms to appear – call straight away.
Medicines are the most common cause of poisoning in young children. Often poisoning happens when medicine is left within reach. All family members should avoid leaving medicines in places that children can reach.
Put medicine away as soon as you've finished with it.
Store all medicines out of reach and out of sight in a locked cabinet or cupboard.
Ask your pharmacist to put child-resistant closures on your medicines, if they don't already have them. This makes it harder for children to open medicines.
Avoid describing pills and tablets as 'special lollies' – this can confuse your child, who might be tempted to try them.
Keep any measuring cups and droppers used for medicine separate and safe.
Make sure you're giving the correct medication and dosage, especially at night – always read the label carefully and follow the directions.
When you're giving medicine to a child, take care that other children can't reach the medicine.
Dispose of any unwanted or out-of-date medications by returning them to the pharmacist.
You can read more about medicines that can poison.
stain removers and ironing aids.
Store chemicals and cleaners out of sight and reach in a child-resistant cupboard at all times.
Install child-resistant locks on cupboards.
Leave all chemicals and cleaners in their original containers – don't pour them into used juice or soft drink bottles.
Put all chemicals and cleaners away immediately after use.
Safely dispose of any products no longer in use.
Consider using products that are less dangerous. For example, a mixture of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda cleans most surfaces.
Buy dishwashing powder or liquid in a child-resistant container and store it out of sight and reach of children. Dishwashing powder and liquid are corrosive. They burn and are extremely dangerous if swallowed.
Keep children away if you're adding detergent to the dishwasher. When filling your dishwasher, put the detergent in last then immediately close the machine.
Check for sludge or powder caking in or near the dispenser when emptying your dishwasher. This is particularly important if young children are helping to unload, because the sludge can cause serious mouth burns.
toilet cleaners – fluid and solid.
If you smoke, check that your cigarette is completely out and then throw it in the bin, rather than in an ashtray. To protect your child from second-hand and third-hand smoke, always smoke outside your house and ask visitors to do the same.
When family and friends visit, ask them to put handbags up out of reach.
If you live in an older house, it's a good idea to buy a lead test kit at a hardware shop to check whether there's lead-based paint in your house. Old houses and furniture might have been painted with lead-based paint, which is poisonous.
Keep paints and solvents (like mineral turpentine, kerosene and white spirits) out of reach and out of sight all the time.
Lock your shed or garage, as well as any storage boxes or cupboards inside the garage or shed.
Keep liquids in original containers, rather than pouring them into used soft drink or juice bottles.

Q: Getting values from html elements in javascript I have this dynamic form where I put every value of the input in an array. The problem is that I'm not able to get all these items in a javascript function.
My html form:
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 1" id="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 2" id="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 3" id="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 4" id="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 5" id="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 6" id="myInputs[]">
<button onclick="process()">Next</button>
</form>

My script function
function process(){
    var name = document.getElementById("myInputs[]").value;
    var name1 = name[0];
}

In this function I get the first array entry, but this does only return the first character of the first entry.

A: Id's should always be unique.

The id global attribute defines a unique identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document. Its purpose is to identify the element when linking (using a fragment identifier), scripting, or styling (with CSS).

You should consider using name="myInputs[]" instead.
That way you could just do document.getElementsByName("myInputs[]") and iterate over the NodeList.

function process() {
  var allInputs = document.getElementsByName("myInputs[]");
  var name1 = allInputs[0].value; // This is the Value of the first Input
}
<form>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 1" name="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 2" name="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 3" name="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 4" name="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 5" name="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 6" name="myInputs[]">
  <button onclick="process()">Next</button>
</form>

A: Use a CSS query instead. Note that you should not have multiple items with the same id, they could have the same name if you'd like. That's typically used for sending the items to the server as an array and is only recognized by some server processing frameworks

function process(){
  var names = document.querySelectorAll("form [name='myInputs[]']");
  var name1 = names[0].value;
  console.log('First name is' + name1);
}
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 1" name="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 2" name="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 3" name="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 4" name="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 5" name="myInputs[]">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name 6" name="myInputs[]">
<button onclick="process()">Next</button>
</form>

A: First, the ID should be unique.
Then, the code should be like this:

function process(){
     var name = document.getElementsByClassName("myInputs[]");
     alert(name[0].placeholder);
}
<form>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 1" class="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 2" class="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 3" class="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 4" class="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 5" class="myInputs[]">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name 6" class="myInputs[]">
  <button onclick="process()">Next</button>
</form>

H1Z1 first official trailer released
H1Z1 was announced one day and details about this new zombie MMORPG quickly flooded the net, thanks to Sony Online Entertainment's president John Smedley. We were also treated to long gameplay streams, so the game was becoming fairly familiar. However, oddly as it may seem, it's only now that SOE released the first official trailer for H1Z1, that you can watch below.
It's no secret that Sony got inspiration for H1Z1 from the hugely popular DayZ, but let's hope that the studio has a few tricks up its sleeve to make it stand out.

According to a press release from Orbit Books, Leckie just sold them a new book, set in the Ancillary universe, to be published in fall 2017. And another book, coming sometime after that, will be an unrelated science fiction story — meaning, a whole new universe. Can't wait!

On behalf of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for conserving electricity during this period of prolonged hot, dry weather in Texas.
As you have no doubt experienced, intense weather conditions have been the norm this summer. We have all had the shared experience of attempting to keep ourselves and our loved ones cool and healthy in challenging conditions.
At ERCOT, we have been working around the clock to keep the electricity flowing, making sure you have the resources you need to stay productive and well this summer. While we are always charged with making sure you have adequate electricity, this summer has posed a particularly serious challenge to the electric grid.
Because the heat has been sustained over the entire state with little or no rain or cloud cover, the strain on the electric grid has been greater than ever before. In Dallas and Austin, we are beating all-time records for triple-digit heat. We have hit three all-time demand peaks in the last two weeks alone, meaning we've used more electricity on three days this summer than on any other day in the history of ERCOT, which covers most of Texas.
Additionally, Texas is experiencing economic and population growth while much of the rest of the country is not. All of these factors are contributing to very high energy usage this summer.
As you probably read in your newspaper or saw on the news, ERCOT has issued appeals for conservation across the state this August. We have encouraged businesses and residential customers to help us save electricity between the critical hours of 3 and 7 p.m.
For instance, turning off unnecessary lights, appliances and electronic equipment can help conditions significantly.
Conservation efforts help us avoid statewide rotating outages and keep your lights on and air-conditioners running. Conservation not only keeps power and cool air flowing to every citizen, it ensures that uninterrupted power flows to critical care customers, who are most vulnerable in the extreme heat.
While ERCOT has not called for rotating outages this summer, it is important to remember that we only implement these orderly, temporary outages to prevent a catastrophic collapse of the electric grid. As you may remember from the Northeast blackout a few years ago, once a grid failure occurs, it can take days to restore power to all consumers. Your conservation efforts help us prevent this from happening.
While ERCOT always carries reserves, our power supply is not unlimited. With your help and conservation efforts, though, we can keep residents and businesses healthy and productive this summer.
H.B. "Trip" Doggett is president and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas.


It was night of epic proportions, and one that will certainly go down in history, as Dubai set a world record amidst all the razzle dazzle and fanfare this city has mastered down to an art form.
While The Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands played host to a glittering display of fireworks that achieved the colossal task of setting off over 400,000 fireworks across 100km of shoreline, in just six minutes to set a new Guinness World Record, at the other end of the city stood the towering Burj Khalifa.
The world's tallest building impressed with its iconic New Year's Eve Gala and a spectacular fireworks display that will light up the imposing juggernaut once again.
Hosted by Emaar Properties, this year's festivities broke 2012's record of 1.7 million visitors at Downtown Dubai.
The Dubai World Record team have roped in the men and women at Grucci to produce an unimaginable programme for tonight, including a laser etching of an aerial countdown, a pixel burst flying falcon and a UAE flag and a 'sunrise' at midnight.

Gregg Allman Laid Back Limited 180gram Vinyl LP
Laid Back is the debut studio solo album by singer-songwriter Gregg Allman, released in October 1973 by Capricorn Records. Allman, best known as the vocalist/lyricist/pianist of the Allman Brothers Band, first began considering a solo career after internal disagreements with that group. He developed the album as a small creative outlet wherein he would assume full control, and he co-produced the album alongside Johnny Sandlin. The album explores Allman's varying influences, including rhythm and blues and soul music. It consists of several cover songs, originals, and a traditional hymn, and contains performances from a host of musicians, most notably Scott Boyerand Tommy Talton on guitars, Bill Stewart on drums, and Charlie Hayward on bass guitar. The album was created while Allman also worked on Brothers and Sisters, the fourth Allman Brothers album. To support the album, Allman embarked on an ambitious tour, consisting of a full band and an entire string orchestra. Two singles were released to promote the record, with lead single "Midnight Rider" becoming a top 20 hit in the U.S. and Canada. Pressed on 180gm vinyl. No DL codes included.

1. Midnight Rider
2. Queen of Hearts

Local news is reporting that a man from BC, Eric Manu, is moving to Ghana to become a chief. His uncle died in 2013, and now it's his turn to lead the 6000-strong community in his home country.
"I had a call in July that the whole community—the elders of the land and my extended family—had appointed me to take the next role of chief of the community," Manu told CBC.
In 2005, when I was living in Ghana, one of my friends there, an American exchange student, was offered a similar gig. He and I were visiting a small community for a weekend away from the city, and we were able to meet the chief. I don't remember why we had such an honour.
The chief wasn't dressed lavishly. I do remember him wearing a cloth, with a striped kente design, wrapped around his body. He had some gold bangles around his wrists, I think. I don't think he had a crown. He sat, quietly—reservedly—in a lawn chair.
I don't think we talked directly with him; I think someone translated for us. At some point in the conversation, my friend was told that, if he wanted, he could become chief for a nearby village. My friend declined.
It was a disappointing decision, I thought, but an understandable one. It does not sound like an easy 9-5. Manu told Global News that his job includes overseeing political decisions for the village and settling disagreements between community members, such as land disputes. In addition to that, he told CTV News one of his priorities will be to motivate students to stay in the village to work. After working as a landscaper here in BC, he wants to encourage people to be happy working in the trades and not all migrate to the city in search of an office job.
Despite a similar job being offered to my American friend, Manu told CBC that his job was not a political appointment. "This is an inheritance, something that your ancestors and forefathers worked for and you have to continue. So you really have to be passionate."
He outlined some challenges he will have to face: "My dress code has to change, the way I talk has to change, I can't sit outside and eat, I can't sit outside and talk to people. It's a new role, it's a new life." True not just for him, but for his whole family. Manu is married to a Canadian woman and they have a 10-month-old son.
As for me, I was told I would never become a Ghanaian queen. I was too skinny. Dang.


Plot synopsis: In an authoritarian state somewhere in Europe, a scientist invents a machine capable of shrinking objects to microscopic size, which he intends to use to help rebels smuggle weapons under the noses of government forces.
Review: In many cases, it is to miss the point of a science-fiction story to be overly concerned about its scientific accuracy. Yes, we all know that time travel, faster-than-light spaceships, invisibility potions and so on are - on the basis of our current state of knowledge - impossible, but we generally accept such contrivances for the sake of allowing writers to tell a good story. As long as it is done convincingly, and authors stick to their own rules, there's no reason not to allow writers' imaginations to come up with all manner of weird and wonderful ideas. So, in itself, postulating a machine that shrinks people to miniature size isn't necessarily cause to dismiss a story out of hand. However, if it is a story that is otherwise grounded in reality which suddenly veers into the realms of the completely ridiculous, it is difficult not to judge it on its lack of rationality and logic. The line I quote above gives some idea of this episode's preposterousness - how exactly could a camera or recording equipment be shrunk to the size of an atom? - but it eventually becomes much more absurd even than this suggests. I won't reveal exactly where the episode ends up going, but suffice to say, it really does become very silly indeed. A further problem is that the whole initial set-up, concerning an underground resistance movement operating in an (unnamed) European dictatorship, goes absolutely nowhere. This was one of two Dimension X episodes dealing with experiments to shrink people - the other being Dr. Grimshaw's Sanitorium (X Minus One version reviewed) - and it's a shame that neither of them is particularly good.


Has been in the same family for almost 100 years since it was collected at the turn of the century. Thread Sewn hide and trade cloth, minor bead loss, stains typical of use. The Curry family, owners of the Curry Mercantile Co. trading post at Ouray, Utah from the 1880s until 1933, had collected this blanket. An Indian Agency was established at Ouray, Utah in 1881 for the Uncompahgre band of Utes on the Uintah/Ouray Reservation, and the Currys established their trading post there before 1886. In addition to food and manufactured goods, the Currys brought in Navajo blankets to trade to the Utes for hides, horses, and baskets. The collection, assembled over a period of nearly 50 years, was bequeathed by the last owner of the trading post to her granddaughters in 1961.

LSU vs. Texas football: All-time series history, scores, notable games
Here's 5 FBS games to watch in week two
LSU and Texas will meet in college football for the 18th time on Saturday, Sept. 7. The Longhorns lead the all-time series with a record of 9-7-1, having won the last meeting 35-20 in the 2003 Cotton Bowl.
There's a lot of the line for these two programs currently ranked in the top 10.
Here is everything you need to know about the history between LSU and Texas.
All-time series results were compiled from Winsipedia's database.
LSU vs. Texas: All-time series history and scores
LSU and Texas first squared off on the gridiron in 1896. Coincidentally, the 1896 season was also the first year that LSU used the nickname "Tigers." Those newly-named Tigers blanked the Longhorns 14-0.
The two schools would face each other 16 more times over the next half century, before a four-decade hiatus began in 1964.

LSU vs. Texas: Notable games in series history
Jan. 1, 2003: Chris Simms' 269 passing yards are too much for LSU to bear | Box score
Forty years to the day of their last meeting, LSU and Texas again headlined the Cotton Bowl. Both teams were stacked with future NFL talent. But it was the Longhorns who had several offensive playmakers at their disposal. And Texas' star power proved to be the difference in its 35-20 victory.
NEXT LEVEL: Colleges most represented on 2019 NFL rosters
Wideout Roy Williams caught 4 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown. His lone rushing attempt also resulted in a 39-yard score. Running back Cedric Benson ran for just 46 yards on 12 carries, but his 1-yard touchdown run late in the 2nd quarter gave the Longhorns the lead. They would never relinquish it.

Jan. 1, 1963: LSU shuts out undefeated Longhorns 13-0 | Recap
The Tigers ran 29 more plays than the Longhorns did in this low-scoring affair. Jimmy Field's 22-yard touchdown run in the third was the only end-zone trip made by either team.
Field was one of two LSU quarterbacks to line up under center that day, along with Lynn Amedee. They combined for 133 yards passing yards on 13-of-21 attempts. Those 13 completions set a new Cotton Bowl record. Amedee and Texas guard Johnny Treadwell were each named MVP.
Nov. 16, 1896: During the sport's infancy, LSU defeats Texas in their first-ever meeting 14-0 | Recap from the Times-Picayune
Details about a 122-year-old college football game are, understandably, scarce. But a first-hand account of this contest was published in The Times-Picayune the day after LSU's 14-0 win over Texas.
"It will long be remembered as one the finest games ever played here," the newspaper reported on Nov. 17, 1896:
LSU opened the scoring five minutes into the game when a player (referred to as "Gourrier") "got clear around Texas' left end, dodged the full-back, and made a touchdown for Louisiana."
But perhaps the most interesting tidbit is what happened later that night. LSU and Texas took part in a post-game dinner, where the two teams came together "as friends around the banquet board."

Q: Touch Focus Changing After Showing DatePicker In a Popup I have a UIViewController. In my view (xib), I have a UIButton and a UIToolBar. On "Touch Up Inside", I have the following:
    UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:ec];
nc.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;

[self presentModalViewController:nc animated:YES];

"ec" is a UITableViewController. For this view (xib), I have three rows that consists of three text fields. In one text field, I'm setting the "inputView" to a UIDatePicker. If I put focus on this text field the datepicker shows up as it suppose to. When I set the focus on another text field, the keyboard shows up. But when I close the popup, it seems like the UIButton and UIToolBar right navigation button isn't working. Actually it is, but I have to click about an inch above the control to trigger the popup again. What gives?!

A: Sorry for the late post but found out the application was recalculating the view coordinates which threw it off. After fixing this, all is good.

Chrissy Teigen's Outlook On Luna & Social Media Is So Relatable
by Alana Romain
Being a parent in the age of social media is often a bit challenging to navigate. Most of us just try to adopt an approach that seems reasonable, though that could pretty much mean anything from "I never share my kids' faces" to "my child is an Instagram influencer with 2 million followers." But although there isn't always a ton of overlap between the lives of celebrity moms and us non-famous types, social media is probably one area in which they can probably teach the rest of us a thing or two. In an interview with People Wednesday, Chrissy Teigen discussed sharing about Luna on social media, and though the star says she tries to keep things pretty simple, it sounds like she's given a fair bit of thought to her nearly 2-year-old daughter's social media presence.
Teigen, who is currently pregnant with her second child, opened up about motherhood and what it's like to raise children when you also happen to be known for being open about your personal life with your fans. She told People that, while her approach to social media in general is actually pretty casual, that doesn't exactly mean she is just as honest and uncensored about her life as a mom as she is about everything else.
For one, the Lip Sync Battle star said she is definitely mindful about the delicate line between being open about her life, and totally oversharing. Yet, when you're a celebrity mom, there's also no denying that being completely closed off can backfire, too. Teigen explained,
The more you hide, the more people are curious and then it becomes a really frustrating thing. So you don't want to be too secretive. But if you show a ton then you open yourself up to a world of criticism for showing too much. It's hard because you want to keep their special moments really special.
Parenting criticism is something Teigen definitely knows about first-hand of course — she's been on the receiving end of some brutal mom-shaming ever since Luna was a newborn. There was the time, for example, when Twitter let her have it when she was photographed out to dinner a few weeks after giving birth, according to E! News (how dare she do such a thing). She's also been told, according to TIME, that she was holding her baby wrong, that she brought her down the slide incorrectly at the playground, and that she was a terrible mother for letting her daughter go without socks on her feet
And let's not even get into the backlash she faced when she revealed that she and husband John Legend specifically chose to have a female embryo implanted during their IVF cycle when they got pregnant with Luna:
In other words? Twitter can be cruel when you're sharing glimpses of your life as a mom with millions of followers. But despite the online trolls, Teigen says she still likes to share cute moments with the world, and that she tries not to overthink it. She explained, "There's not too much thought that goes into anything I post. I'm not like, 'Okay, I'm going to post this at 2:00. I'm going to touch up her face.'"
One thing she does take into account though, is how Luna herself might feel one day about the things her mother is posting. Teigen said,
It's not like I want to post her meltdowns or anything that's going to embarrass her or get us in trouble — something like if she's sitting by an outlet or [in] a car seat and the strap isn't high enough. That stuff is exhausting to deal with.
In all honesty, everything Teigen experiences online in regards to sharing about motherhood seems completely exhausting to me, but for the most part, she seems to handle it well (it definitely helps, I'd imagine, that she is the hands-down queen of the clapback). But her viewpoint is also one that sounds a lot like one many mothers share — while we may not have to endure millions of nasty comments about every little thing we do, there is the issue of how much sharing is too much sharing, and whether it's OK to share certain things when your kid is too young to consent.
As with pretty much everything in the parenting realm though, there isn't only one right way too approach it, and even among celebs, many parents choose to avoid social media entirely just in case. In truth, the fact that social media even exists the way it does now means that there isn't much precedent when it comes to posting about our kids, and that means that we just kind of have to feel it out as we go.
One thing that does seem pretty clear though is that Teigen's strategy is a pretty balanced approach, and that it might be one that works well for a lot of parents. But just like all of us, she'll likely still learn more as she goes along, make adjustments as needed, and probably cross her fingers that she's doing the right thing, like every other parent does regardless of the issue.

At Apple's annual developer conference today, the company showed off a new walkie-talkie feature for Apple Watch. The app is uniquely called Walkie-Talkie.
"It's a fun, easy way to talk with friends and family," Apple VP of Technology Kevin Lynch said at WWDC.
The first time you use it, you send a request to your friend, who can then accept or decline it. If they accept it, you can then walkie-talkie them at any time. This watch-to-watch connection works over cellular and Wi-Fi, and enables you to send short voice messages to friends and family with an Apple Watch. Once you press to talk, your friend will feel some haptic feedback and then hear your voice immediately.
This seems like the type of feature I wouldn't want to have on all the time, but it could definitely be fun. Apple first started talking about a walkie-talkie feature back in 2014, before the Apple Watch launched the following year. But that feature didn't make its way onto the Apple Watch until now.
At WWDC, Apple also unveiled Watch OS5, which you can read more about here.

Role of N-Terminal Amino Acids in the Potency of Anthrax Lethal Factor
Gupta PK, Moayeri M, Crown D, Fattah RJ, Leppla SH
Anthrax lethal factor (LF) is a Zn(+2)-dependent metalloprotease that cleaves several MAPK kinases and is responsible for the lethality of anthrax lethal toxin (LT). We observed that a recombinant LF (LF-HMA) which differs from wild type LF (LF-A) by the addition of two residues (His-Met) to the native Ala (A) terminus as a result of cloning manipulations has 3-fold lower potency toward cultured cells and experimental animals. We hypothesized that the "N-end rule", which relates the half-life of proteins in cells to the identity of their N-terminal residue, might be operative in the case of LF, so that the N-terminal residue of LF would determine the cytosolic stability and thereby the potency of LF. Mutational studies that replaced the native N-terminal residue of LF with known N-end rule stabilizing or destabilizing residues confirmed that the N-terminal residue plays a significant role in determining the potency of LT for cultured cells and experimental animals. The fact that a commercially-available LF preparation (LF-HMA) that is widely used in basic research studies and for evaluation of vaccines and therapeutics is 3-fold less potent than native LF (LF-A) should be considered when comparing published studies and in the design of future experiments.

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Written and first performed by Anne Bredon (1959).
First commercial recording by Joan Baez (1961).
Also recorded by The Plebs (1964), The Association (1965).
Album hit version by Led Zeppelin (1969).
https://youtu.be/rvZm8B5xhuw
From the wiki: "'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You' was written by Anne Bredon née Johannsen in the late 1950s. Bredon appeared on the live Folk music radio show, The Midnight Special, on Pacifica radio's KPFA singing 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'. A fellow Folk singer guesting on the program, Janet Smith, took up the song and developed it further, playing it live at hootenanny events at Oberlin College, one performance of which was attended by Joan Baez. Baez requested of Smith to send her a recording of her songs, including 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You', which Baez subsequently began performing herself.
"Vanguard Records, Baez's label, later sent Smith a letter asking if she had written 'Babe'. In the meantime, Baez had recorded the song and included it on her In Concert album. Initial pressings listed no writer's credit for 'Babe'. The 1964 recording by the Surrey, England, band The Plebs credits 'Trad arr. Dennis' but, later the same year, the Joan Baez Songbook rightfully lists Anne Bredon as the author as does the 1965 recording of the song by The Association. (It was the group's first single release, but had no chart impact.)
(I Can't Help) Falling in Love
Recorded as ("Plaisir d'Amour") by Emilio De Gogorza (1902).

Also recorded (as "I Want to Live") by Aphrodite's Child (NETH #1 1969).
Note: Not Emilio De Gogorza. This recording is by French cabaret tenor Tino Rossi, recorded in 1955:
From the wiki: "'(I Can't Help) Falling in Love' was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore and George Weiss ('The Lion Sleeps Tonight', 'What a Wonderful World') based on a popular romance melody by Jean Pierre Claris de Florian, 'Plaisir d'Amour', first performed in 1784 and first recorded in 1902 by Emilio De Gogorza. English-language lyrics were written by Weiss, who claimed that neither the movie producers nor Elvis' associates liked the song demo. But, nonetheless, Elvis insisted on recording the song for the movie Blue Hawaii.
Written and first recorded by Kris Kristofferson (1970).
Hit versions by Sammi Smith (US #8/C&W #1 1971), Joe Simon (US #69/R&B #13 1971), Gladys Knight & The Pips (US #33/R&B #13/UK #11 1972).
Also recorded by Elvis Presley (1971), Joan Baez (1971), Jerry Lee Lewis (1971), Dottie West (1971), Bryan Ferry (1974).
From the wiki: "Kris Kristofferson wrote 'Help Me Make It' while sweeping floors and emptying ashtrays at Columbia Records studios in Nashville, and said that he got the inspiration for the song from an Esquire magazine interview with Frank Sinatra. When asked what he believed in, Frank replied, 'Booze, broads, or a Bible…whatever helps me make it through the night.'

Wait, that's used for vaping? Nanuet schools to host parent workshop

The latest vaping devices used by teens are sleek, high tech and, unfortunately for parents, don't look like vaping devices at all.
In fact, they seem more like gadgets out of a James Bond film.
Small USB ports, black markers and pens are just a few of the products that are actually vaporizers, or, e-cigarette devices.
ROCKLAND: After three decades, CANDLE burns bright
SMOKING AGE: Rockland may raise from 18 to 21
And given the rise of vaping at school campuses across the country, efforts are underway to educate parents on how to figure out what is an e-cigarette and what isn't.
Michele Hughes, a program coordinator at Rockland CANDLE, a nonprofit focused on preventing substance abuse among teens, said the most popular products "are designed to be discrete."
"They can be found in the strings of a hoodie or camouflaged to look like a USB drive. Because of this, adolescents can easily conceal them at school and at home," she said.
And, since there is no scent, adults are often unaware of what's happening right in front of them, Hughes added.
On Wednesday, Hughes will unpack a bucket full of these cleverly masked products at Nanuet High School at a free workshop about vaping.
The program, a partnership between CANDLE and Nanuet schools, will also offer tips to help teens understand the health risks. But, Hughes said, "in order to have an open conversation, parents need to be educated."
Right now, Alison Kersh, a staff social worker at the high school said, "There are enormous misconceptions about vaping, including the notion that it's somehow safe. It's not."
In Rockland County, after several school districts have noticed an uptick in the number of students vaping, discouraging kids from doing it has become a partnership involving schools, police, non-profits and even businesses.
Nyack High School Principal Nicole Saieva sent a letter shortly after the start of the new school year to parents warning them about the "difficult to identify" vaping devices and reminded them the district's student assistance counselors are available as a resource for information.
Last fall, after Clarkstown Superintendent Martin Cox said ecudators began encountering "multiple issues of students engaging in vaping," the district's physical education teachers, principals and district safety team worked with municipal officials and town police to implement anti-vaping programming. Besides educating kids about it, the efforts also involved parent outreach.
At Pearl River schools, programs have been held on vaping and the district has its "Parents Guide to the Dangers of Vaping" online.
On April 13, representatives from CANDLE will lead a program at Nanuet High School for students and will do a similar program in the Ramapo School District next month.
With over 8,000 e-liquid flavors, like chocolate mint, peanut butter cup, blueberry cheesecake and milk and cereal, many kids can't resist trying it.
According to the state Health Department, high school students are actually more likely to vape than adults over age 25 and that e-cigarette use is leading more teens to try traditional cigarettes.
E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are battery-operated devices that heat up liquid nicotine to generate an aerosol that users inhale. Its manufacturers have reiterated that their products are intended for adults who wish to quit smoking and not teens.
What are kids' reasons for vaping? Flavor, taste, curiosity and "the belief they are less harmful than other tobacco products," a state Health Department survey found.
Earlier this year, U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner Scott Gottlieb said he was concerned about youth use of e-cigarettes and would consider regulating flavors designed to appeal to them.
Through June 19, the FDA is inviting "all stakeholders" to share information with the agency that "can inform the process for examining the role that flavors play." The public can weigh in by visiting federalregister.gov and accessing document number 2018-05655.
E-cigarettes, which are a $2.5 billion a year industry, have not been approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation product, though researchers are still investigating if vaping helps adults quit smoking traditional cigarettes.

Legislation to know about:
A bill that would require retailers to obtain permits to sell e-cigarettes and vaping products. State Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski said he sponsored the legislation as a way to crack down on unregulated retailers that are selling to teens.
As of late 2017, it's illegal to vape inside. The state updated New York's Clean Indoor Air Act to ban electronic cigarettes indoors everywhere that traditional tobacco cigarettes are prohibited. New York joins a growing list of states that have banned vaping in indoor public places, like restaurants, offices and bars. The state's restriction does not apply to people who want to use e-cigarettes in private homes, hotel rooms or at retail tobacco outlets. In July 2017, the Clean Indoor Air Act was amended to include all public and private schools.
Both the Senate and Assembly have bills on the floor that would raise the legal age to purchase all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, from 18 to 21 in New York.
Municipalities and counties in New York have always had the option of increasing the legal age to buy tobacco if they choose. The Rockland County Legislature approved a bill last month that raises the sales age to 21 and sent it to County Executive Ed Day, who said he has until Thursday to approve or veto it. Day said Friday that he and other county departments were reviewing the proposed legislation "with particular focus on any unintended consequences, costs to county government operations, and legality."
CANDLE program director Annie Scott said her organization backs all of the proposals.
"Part of the issue right now is that the age to purchase e-cigarettes in Rockland County is 18 while the age in New Jersey is 21, so teens are coming to Rockland to purchase the vaping products," she said.
To help address that, CANDLE will be asking local e-cigarette retailers to post an "Only 2 Will Do" sticker on their store windows to let patrons know two forms of identification are needed to prove age.
In the past, CANDLE has found success with a similar campaign at local liquor stores to address underage drinking.
What: Vaping awareness workshop for parents
When: Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Where: Nanuet High School, 103 Church Street, Nanuet
Smoking vs. vaping
The state youth smoking rate is at a record low of 4.3 percent; however, e-cigarette use has more than doubled to over 20 percent since 2014, according to the state health department.
Half of teens believe non-daily e-cigarette use causes little harm, according to the state health department.
Almost all adults addicted to nicotine started using tobacco products in their teens. Nine out of 10 adult smokers began smoking by age 18 and 99 percent started by age 26.

Preparing teachers to make choices for powerful learning.
Preparing children to make choices for powerful lives.
We help schools implement balanced literacy instruction in grades K-8. Our primary focus is reading and writing workshop, a methodology that requires teachers and students to make meaningful choices that produce powerful learning. We can help you use the Common Core State Standards to help all members of your school community become more active and reflective learners.
Our work with a school begins with exploring your vision for literacy instruction, assessing your current practices, and laying out possible pathways to your goals.
We prefer to collaborate with a school over a period of months or years, building both teaching capacity and a professional community of practice.
Powerful Choices is committed to providing your school with a unique experience, designed to your needs.
We offer professional development experiences ranging from two-hour sessions to week-long trainings. Activities can include interactive workshops, demonstration lessons, guided planning, classroom coaching, and visits to model classrooms.
Powerful Choices trainings focus on the practical application of principles proven by research to be effective. In our workshops, teachers collaborate to observe, read, reflect, discuss, role play and design lessons.
Founding partners Dana Bowden and Kate Garcia-Beaudet and their team bring decades of experience in Los Angeles-area elementary and middle school classrooms. Together they have trained teachers in public schools, charter schools, independent schools, and university credentialing programs.


I took the boys to a wedding yesterday. I know, you other mother's are shouting to your computer screens: "Why why! What would posses you!" It was an outdoor wedding, that the Hunky Hubby was officiating and the couple were two of our beloved counselors who have been coming up to camp since they were ity bity campers.
So we ran about in the grass at the outskirts of the meadow and gazed at the happy couple from a distance. I had to try to explain why all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen weren't also married. After all they did walk arm in arm together in fancy attire. Isn't that what constituted a marriage ceremony. And why not just marry them all, it would be so efficient. It is interesting to view love through a 6-year-olds eyes.
Then we snatched a cupcake for each boy and ran back outside to enjoy the decoration of the car…and more questions. "Won't they think that something terrible is wrong with their engine when they hear those cans banging around behind them?" And off to the volley ball court to play in the sand, dig up ants in the dirt, and play a round of mini golf. So there it is, a wedding in the style of a mom of three fierce boys. Probably involves more dirt and ants then those mom's sitting in actual wedding seats with their three little girls…or maybe not. I remember what it was like to be a little girl and it involved a fair amount of dirt and insect activity.
ah weddings….havnt gone to one in years!
Yes, dirt and insects were high on your list. I remember having to force you to wear a dress now and then :D, but you survived. All those outdoor, dirt related activities prepared you nicely for mothering 3 fierce little boys. Remember the insect boards we made one summer? Racing around the meadow with your butterfly nets was wild and fun and quite successful.
Ah, but we have a very cute picture of the bride walking in with you and your three charges in the background waaaaay across the meadow!


Lupus associated with severe Vertigo? Please HELP!
I am trying to figure out what can cause severe vertigo. My mom has lived with this now 24 hours a day for the past 2 months. In 1992 she was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia (recieved bone marrow transplant), Lupus, Addison Disease and Sjogren's Syndrome. She also has Tachacardia, severe Asthma, Thyroid Disease, and Hypoglycemia. As well as a few other minor problems. She has not been treated for the Lupus or Sjogren's because in 2000 she had a negative ANA test so we just assumed it was previously false. Of course now with other severe symtoms suggesting otherwise we will have a third ANA done this week. My question is could Lupus or any of the other's above be the cause of Vertigo? We have ruled out all ENT diseases at this point. She has also been expeirencing the butterfly rash, a very bright red, flat, extremely hot rash on her knee caps, and spots on her feet, swelling of the palms of her hand and soles of her feet. Although the rash itself is not swollen her joints are tremendously! Her fingers go numb and tingle (possibly Raynaud's) she is losing her Perriferal vision in her right eye. She is having muscle spasms, cramps, and pain. Her elbow joints are very enlarged but not much swelling. She has become very fatigued, and sensitive to sunlight. She has also had some gastrointestinal problems for approx. 2 months as well. Her doctor has not done a whole lot, an MRI, some routine bloodwork, echo, and halter. I have also thought possibly Multiple Sclerosis. But since the Doctor did the MRI she automatically ruled this out. Is this routine? I feel further testing should be done (spinal tap?). I have also thought Aseptic Meningitis? Please I am extremely desperate for any advice, tips, knowledge, information, any help. I cannot stand to see my mother living like this anymore.
