Confirmation of REACTIVE Syphilis TP test and used as a quantitative nontreponamal test to establish a baseline titer and to monitor treatment response.
Establishing baseline titer and follow-up monitoring of treatment response.
Infants (born to mothers with reactive syphilis serology)
See Special Instructions (Congenital Syphilis)
Special Instructions and Forms
The serological diagnosis of syphilis is divided into treponemal tests for measuring syphilis antibodies and nontreponemal tests. Nontreponemal tests, such as the rapid plasma reagen (RPR) test and the veneral disease research labortaory (VDRL) test, detect reagin-based antibodies produced in response to treponemal infection. Reagin is a lipoidal antigen. The test lacks specificity because reactive antibodies can be elicited in diseases and conditions unrelated to syphilis, giving rise to biological false-positives. However, nontreponal tests are useful for determining the stage of infection and to monitor treatment success. Successful treatment reduces the amount of lipoidal antigen that can be monitored by observing a decrease in RPR/VDRL titre.
Nontreponemal tests (RPR and VDRL) measure IgM and IgG antibodies to cardiolipin and other lipids released from damaged host cells or from treponemes. Nontreponemal tests become positive one to four weeks after the appearance of the primary chancre, and six weeks after exposure. Quantitative titer values monitor the course of disease during and after treatment, detects relapse, and can also serve to detect reinfection.
NONREACTIVE.
REACTIVE: #value titer
NONREACTIVE: (negative)
– Sequential serologic tests in individual patients should be performed using the same testing method (e.g. VDRL or RPR), preferably by the same laboratory.
– A fourfold change in RPR titer (e.g. from 1:16 to 1:4 or from 1:8 to 1:32), is considered necessary to demonstrate a clinically significant difference between two test results.
– Serological tests for syphilis are uniformly reactive with yaws, pinta, and nonvenereal endemic syphilis (bejel). Therefore, patient history, the clinical appearance and anatomic locations of the lesions, the mode of transmission, and the age of the individual are the only criteria that can be used to diagnose these infections as separate entities.
Primary and secondary syphilis follow-up
– RPR should be performed 6 and 12 months after treatment (3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 for HIV-infected); more frequent evaluations might be prudent if follow-up is uncertain.
– For most HIV-infected persons, serologic tests are accurate and reliable for the diagnosis of syphilis and for following a patient's response to treatment. However, atypical syphilis serologic test results (i.e. unusually high, unusually low, of fluctuating titers) can occur in HIV-infected persons.
– Patients who have a sustained fourfold increase in RPR titer (i.e., compared with the maximum or baseline titer at the time of treatment) probably failed treatment or were reinfected. Additional RPR testing should be submitted to confirm. Because treatment failure cannot reliably be distinguished from reinfection, a CSF analysis may be indicated.
– Persons who's titers do not decline should be reevaluated for HIV infection
Latent syphilis
– Early latent syphilis cannot reliably be distinguished from late latent syphilis solely on the basis of nontreponemal titer.
– Quantitative nontreponemal serologic tests should be repeated at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment, with HIV-infected individuals requiring an 18 months repeat as well. If during 12 – 24 months the RPR titer does not decline fourfold CSF examination may be indicated.
Tertiary syphilis
Limited information available on follow-up of patients who have tertiary syphilis.
Neurosyphilis
Follow-up CSF examinations may be can be used to evaluate changes in CSF-VDRL after therapy; however changes in CSF-VDRL occur more slowly than cell counts.
Serologic titers should be repeated at 28-32 weeks' gestation and at delivery as recommended for the stage of the disease. RPR can be repeated monthly in woman at high risk of reinfection.
All seroreactive infants (or infants whose mothers were seroreactive at delivery) should receive RPR testing every 2-3 months until the test becomes nonreactive, or the titer has decreased fourfold. RPR titers should decline by age 3 months and should be nonreactive by age 6 months if the infant is not infected. If RPR titers are stable or increase after age 6-12 months, the child should be reevaluated.

Yu Ching was referred to us by a friend to help with a renovation of our kitchen, living room, and dining room. It involved removing several walls to make it more open concept. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, accessible to answer questions (whenever my wife and I didn't understand anything), and provided practical solutions. He assisted us in obtaining the permits which required little work from our end (which is amazing!) and followed through with closing off with the permit at the end. I would definitely recommend his services if anyone is looking to do structural work on their home or building. Top quality work at an affordable price!
Thank you for your professionalism and for always being accessible.
I found YCL Structural Design on Homestars and very glad I did. I needed drawings pulled together very quickly and Yu Ching and his team did just that – even working the weekend which was very much appreciated. They also submitted for the permits which saved me a lot of hassle. I found them to be professional, knowledgeable, responsive, empathetic, meticulous and a great team to work with. They understood my situation and took the extra steps to make it as easy for me as possible. I would highly recommend YCL and would use them again in a heartbeat.


Our purpose is to make equestrian accessible, and that means for everyone.
A supported riding program, called Client Oriented Rider Education (CORE), is for anyone who requires support to get onto the horse, or to sit in the saddle. We can provide sessions with up to 3 equestrian support staff (a horse leader, and 2 side-walkers), plus a coach.
Our independent riding programs, called "Pathways", are for anyone who can independently get into the saddle, and support themselves on the horse's back.
Supported Riding; people who need support to get in the saddle, or to sit on the horse.
We tailor sessions to suit each individual's needs, and personal goals. May focus on physical mobility, communication, empathy, sensory engagement, or achievement.
All clients are assessed, and personal goals developed - both short, medium and long term. We aim to get all clients riding, but work at the pace that they can achieve physically, or emotionally.
Many can achieve independence in riding (off the lead rein).
Specially designed for young children, and pre-schoolers. Shorter, fun sessions for little, growing minds and bodies.
Children of all abilities participate in a range of activities, including grooming, leading, and riding our miniature horses. Cocoa, and Summer.
Please remember we are not a riding school (and our prices reflect that). These are designed as CORE sessions for very young children, with educational components outside of learning to ride.
Pathways programs are for independent riders (those that can mount, and sit in the saddle without additional support) at any level. They offer an education in basic horse care skills (leading, and groundwork, grooming, and general care of horses), along with basic riding instruction. Designed to give people an opportunity to interact with horses, and become confident around them.
Please remember we are not a riding school (and our prices reflect that). Having completed "pathways", we will support riders to move on to other local riding instructors, schools, or even into competition.
Only for registered Special Olympic riders.
Training in groups to advance your skills and attend ribbon days.


picked up this old 50ies era Black and Decker valve grinder for $10.00 at a farm auction, its just what i needed because i was in the middle of staring to make cross slide table for a three axis tool fixture head i purchased off ebay to make a tool grinder and this thing is just perfect to suit my needs, not only do i have the x - y slide for the fixture i have a mounted grinding spindle.
I removed the original valve rotating fixture head to reveal my surface area where i am going to install the base table.
The next thing i need is a table the place the grinding fixture on, so i had some 1/2'' aluminium plate floating around, so I cut out a large plate marked it out and drilled the location hole.
now i located a square slot where i am placing a parallel in so the fixture slides against that to keep me parallel with the front side of the grinding wheel, the row of holes you see drilled are the hold down bolts for the fixture, they are spaced so i can slide the fixture from side to side because i only have 2 inches of slide on the table.
Here is my fixture jig mounted on the table plate, you can also see i played around with a head plate tool holder affixed to the spindle with a 60 degree threading tool inserted.
Well that's as far as i have got, it will be a while before i get back to it as i fly to Europe next week for a while, as soon as i make any more progress ill post what i have..
any ideas or thoughts are always welcome.
What a great find in that valve grinder! From when Black and Decker actually made heavy purposeful tools. Wonderful curves, too.
In a bygone age, I made something similar with a key cutting machine.
If one stands back a bit, this is almost a Quorn or put it another way- a Deckel.
I made a tool cutter grinder a few years ago from a Wolf valve grinder which I no longer have.
they can be easily adapted the B&D looks a great project.
Since my return I have managed to get some more done on this tool build, I had to notch out a pocket so the handle that transverses the spindle head does not hit it or my hand, as you can see i used this space to install some bent stainless tubing for an indicator stop this tells me how deep i am plunging the tool into the stone, I made it fully adjustable for future use, the indicator is being secured by a clamp at the moment so I can figure out the best permanent location.
Here is a shot from behind.
This is what i have got. I think this is a piece of 5/16 HSS, its 60 deg vee with a 7.5 deg lead edge relief and 2.5 trail edge relief for the helix angle, checked on the protractor it measured up a treat and when the fishtail was offered up it was a solid fit, I am over the moon with it.
The Grinding Jig fixture has a problem with the rotational axis as in there is a little slop with the clamping force, although this is not a major problem i am going to make a dial and a set screw to lock it better and give me a better reading on the angle.Also by playing with it i know my fixture location has many limitations to it, I will be drilling more holes to over come this.
Well i have made progress.. i had to re-design the holding fixture because its round this helps when i am grinding close the wheel clears the rounded edge.
Just have to make the stop plunger for the axis lock..
now im ready to start grinding some tooling my first tool i need is a finishing toolbit for my shaper... i will show you the results shortly..
Sorry for gravedigging here, but just wondering how this worked out, in usage! I just picked up a valve grinder with the same idea. It's ugly but can cut, so I'm happy.
I never looked back, it works a treat the key is the fixture head.. i ended up with a grinding set up for less than a $100.. i went to a diamond cup wheel is another factor to look into. doing this project saved me loads of money..
another machine. I'd thought of fabbing something to use a Deckel clone tool holder. Not sure yet.


There's an old saying about starting on a path to achieving an objective: just put one foot in front of the other. Sage advice to be sure, but it doesn't tell you much about the direction in which you should head. For all you know, it could lead you to walk off the edge of a cliff. If you want to start or grow a fatherhood program, it's vital that you know what to do first so that you head in the right direction.
1. Conduct a Needs and Assets Assessment of Your Community. You need to understand the "fatherhood landscape" in your community—the rate of father absence, the gaps in services for fathers, the programs for fathers (and the kinds of fathers they serve), etc.—before you can select a group of fathers to serve or who could also benefit from the program you already offer.
2. Identify and Learn About the Kind(s) of Father(s) You Want to Serve or Should Expand to Serve. Programs for specific populations of fathers are often more effective than programs for all fathers. Your organization alone can't possibly address all the needs of all fathers. Educate yourself and your colleagues about the unique needs of specific populations of fathers in your community who can benefit the most from your program.
3. Create or Select a Program that Matches Fathers' Needs and Wants. After you know who you will serve (or expand to serve), create or select a program and provide complementary services and resources that will meet fathers' needs and wants. NFI has evidence-based and research-based and proven curricula, programs, and workshops to reach all kinds of fathers. There is no reason for you to "reinvent the wheel." To get a current list of curricula and more detailed information about our resources, visit our website at www.fathersource.org or call our national office.
5. Evaluate Your Program. Just because you follow the first 4 steps doesn't mean that you won't veer off course. An evaluation is like a GPS—it tells you whether you're headed in the right direction as you implement your program and helps you to correct your course if necessary. Moreover, evaluations are critically important for program credibility, accountability, improvement, sharing of best practices, and to prove to funders that their dollars were well spent. You don't need a complicated design to effectively evaluate your program. To help organizations with this step, NFI includes evaluation tools with many of its fatherhood programs.
Don't waste time. Go ahead and put one foot in front of the other—just make sure to know in which direction you should take that first step. For more information on implementing these 5 steps, consider purchasing our how-to guide on starting a fatherhood program called "A Guide to Strengthening Fatherhood In Your Community: Moving From Inspiration to Implementation." Download a sample below.
For direct assistance from NFI on how to implement a comprehensive model that includes these and other steps, contact us at programsupport@fatherhood.org to bring "The 7 Bright Spots to Designing Your Fatherhood Program™" workshop to your organization.

Q: Wrong float division result in c void four_corners(float A[rows][columns]){
int up,down,right,left;
int x=2;
A[0][0]=(float)(up+left)/(float)(x);
A[0][19]=(float)(up+right)/(float)(x);
A[9][0]=(float)(down+left)/(float)(x);
A[9][19]=(float)(down+right)/(float)(x);}

When i insert the four values in an array i do not get the correct value of them. What's wrong with my code?

A: Try this one:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define W 10
#define H 20

void four_corners(float A[W][H], int up, int down, int right, int left) {
    int x = 2;
    A[0][0] = (float)(up + left) / (float)(x);
    A[0][19] = (float)(up + right) / (float)(x);
    A[9][0] = (float)(down + left) / (float)(x);
    A[9][19] = (float)(down + right) / (float)(x);
}

void print_board(float A[W][H]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < W; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < H; j++) {
            printf("%.1f ", A[i][j]);
        }
    }
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    float A[W][H];
    memset(A, 0, W * H * sizeof(float));
    four_corners(A, 1, 2, 3, 4);
    print_board(A);
    getch();
}

Basically the problem you're having in your code is up, down, right, left are all of them local variables and they're just visible to the four_corners functions. You think they're been initialized properly when doing scanf in another scope but they're actually not. If you want them to be visible to the scanf's scope and four_corners scope either you pass them as arguments to the function or you make them global. I'd suggest you read more about C scopes and this will become cristal clear to you. Happy coding!

December 31, 2002 Inquiry & Analysis Series No. 117
Arab Media Reactions to The U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative Part III: It's a Zionist/American Plot
Inquiry & Analysis Series No. 117
Some columnists rejected the Partnership Initiative, claiming that it was actually a Zionist conspiracy aimed at blocking the Saudi initiative declared by Saudi Crown Prince Abdallah (March 2002). Others said it was an American plot to destroy Arab society so that America could take control of the Arab countries.
A. The Zionist Lobby Is Behind Powell's Plan
In one of its editorials, the Kuwaiti daily Al-Watan said that Powell's initiative was an attempt by the Zionist lobby to fabricate an artificial problem between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, with the aim of blocking the Saudi political initiative proposed by Crown PrinceAbdallah in March 2002: "There is no doubt that America supports the implementation of democracy in many countries in the world, while at the same time destroying democracies with views opposed to its own position, let alone democracies that oppose America's national interests…"
"There is no doubt that the American administration, and behind it the Zionist lobby, is lying in wait for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This ambush is not because Saudi Arabia lacks democratic parliaments and elected councils, but derives from the results of dangerous studies conducted by the American Congress and American research institutions – which concluded that there is a need [for the U.S.] to control the Gulf's oil reserves, particularly since in the 1973 war King Faysal, may he rest in peace, refused to sell oil to America."
"If we view the Zionist lobby as party to this issue, we will find that it is simultaneously the guilty party [in it] and the one that profits [from it]. It is responsible for the tension in Saudi-American relations, and may [also] be the one that created the events that caused this tension between Saudi Arabia and the U.S.. The Zionist lobby's stench has recently increased due to the Jews' fear for the fate of their country and the fate of their achievements, thanks to Crown Prince Abdallah's courageous initiative, that won the Arab and Islamic consensus."[1]
Rajeh Al-Khouri, a columnist for the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, wrote: "Those who have been badly burned by American policy in the region, from the first half of the 1950s to date, did not pause for even a moment on Powell's partnership plan…"
"The Zionist circles, with the tremendous influence on the American system, hastened to give a rapid and inciting reply to the question fabricated after September 11, 'Why do they hate America?' [They said that] the Arabs and the Muslims hate America for two reasons: The first reason is because there is no democracy in the Arab and Islamic regimes, which creates economic and educational poverty in the Middle East [from which emerges hatred for America]. The second reason is that Western civilization, which established its superiority, gave the Arabs feelings of inferiority, which requires the preparation of a plan to bring them into the modern age. [These answers,] of course, ignore all the causes and proof linking the [Arab] hatred towards the U.S. to [U.S.] policy…"
"What is the American administration doing in order to deal with this hatred? It is trying to bring the Arabs to 'the elementary school of reform and democracy'… We do not know from which books we must study the chapters on democracy and social and political reform, and there is no room for denying that most of the Arab countries need it. But the perception [taught at] Ms. Elizabeth [Cheney]'s elementary school will meet with crushing defeat – not because we have no willingness for theoretical study, but because we are monitoring the practical implementation of these perceptions in America, implementation that is not only opposed to the meaning of democracy but is also [like] open slaughter of its fundamental principles."
"Anyone who does not believe it should carefully read the principles of the American position declared over and over every day towards Iraq, the U.S. position regarding the inspectors' activity, and its position regarding Palestine and Sharon's aggression. And anyone who does not believe this will remember that immediately after the unveiling of Powell's plan, Condoleezza Rice's democracy announced the appointment of one of the most extremist haters of the Arabs and the Palestinians to head the National Security Council's Middle East Department – Elliot Abrams, who is more Zionist than Sharon, [and] who has for years called for tearing up the Oslo accords, and [who] supported the [Israeli] invasion of Lebanon in 1982."[2]
B. The Initiative is Aimed At Destroying Arab Society and Replacing It With a Democracy in the Service of American Interests; American Society Is No Role Model
Other writers claimed that the U.S. sought to destroy Arab society by means of the initiative, and to create in its stead a society mirroring American society – which they felt was not a suitable model for the Arab world.
In an article titled "My Advice To You, Mr. Powell," Khaled Al-Suleiman wrote in the Saudi government daily 'Okaz: "What Mr. Powell means by his plan to turn us into a modern society is not that every Saudi will become a computer engineer or physics researcher, but that we will be freed from what he considers the moral bonds of our social behavior. He wants us to become a modern society, like his society, in which fathers are stripped of the freedom to raise their children. A society in which the marriage of minors is a crime, but sexual relations with minors is permitted!! A society in which drinking alcohol is like drinking water, and inhaling marijuana is like inhaling air. He means a society stripped of its identity, its values, and its virtues – an ugly society with no connection to its roots, which is only a pale mirror image of the West…"
"We say to Mr. Powell: 'Thanks for your advice. We don't know what the initiative's connection is with your role as secretary of state, but we don't need it. We, in turn, advise you that if you don't have the time needed to fully understand the impact of the modernization you [are offering] us on your own society, devote a little time every day to sitting in front of the television and watching the famous American talk shows whose programs are broadcast unceasingly, so that you will learn how lucky we are to lag behind your caravan of modernity.'"[3]
In the Jordanian daily Al-Rai, Khaled Mahadeen wrote:"The democracy Powell intends to establish in the Arab homeland is an American democracy that will approve American resolutions without discussion. [When it is established,] the American State Department will have embassies and ambassadors in the Middle East capitals; the parliaments will become the embassies and the ambassadors of the American Congress; [and] all our official and popular media in the Middle East will be American media that will glorify Washington's arrogance, applaud its wars on Arabism and Islam, and keep silent about its direct and indirect participation in the Zionist annihilation of the Palestinian people and about the impending American annihilation of the Iraqi people…"
"The current attempt to 'break into' the Arab and Islamic schools, beginning with the elementary schools, so as to destroy them, is exactly what the American Secretary of State intends in his initiative. [The difficulties] with which many Arab and Islamic countries, and first of all Saudi Arabia, have had to deal are perhaps proof that [there is] a hostile effort that seeks to abolish religious education, Islamic modesty, the meaning of good deeds, Jihad, and charity – which is one of the five pillars of Islam, but is subject today to a naive attempt by the U.S. and Europe to eradicate it from the pillars of Islam out of fear that the charity monies will reach what the West terms 'Islamic terrorists.'"[4]
C. What Motivates the Americans is Their Desire to Rule the World – About Which They are Ignorant; It is the Americans Who Need to Change Their Curricula
In an article in the Egyptian government daily Al-Ahram, columnist Salah Muntasir claimed that it was the Americans who needed changes in their curricula: "America, with all its 50 states, is a huge continent. Except for those who live in New York, Washington, and some [other] well-known cities, most Americans know nothing about the world because they do not need [this knowledge] in their [daily] lives…"
"The American farmer – who represents a large percentage of the residents of Middle America – has no connection to the world except through television, on which he chooses [to watch] commercials for products that bring him more comfort and entertainment… When Americans sit [together] they talk about everything except world news – a situation that changed for the first time after September 11…"
"When the U.S.S.R. – representing the rival superpower – collapsed, it was not enough for the U.S. to merely expand its influence. [It wanted] also to impose its rule on the entire world, to the point where it planned to demand from some of the world's countries to change the curricula in their schools, and is trying to build up new [political] forces within other countries so as to disseminate democracy in them. What motivates America is its desire to lead the world and rule it by means of its economic, scientific, and military power. But is it sufficient in order to achieve this goal?"
"How can a people ignorant in world [affairs], that does not know simple details about the world's geography, history, and peoples, rule it? If there are Americans who think they have the right to demand change in the curricula of some of the developing countries, haven't we the right to demand that America change its own curricula, so that it will produce an American citizen who knows where Afghanistan, Egypt, or Iraq is, [as well as] simple general knowledge that anyone who wants to lead the world should have?"[5]

South Korean boyband JYJ's Kim Jaejoong successfully finishes his Asian tour in Yokohama and welcomed 36,000 fans.
Kim completed three of his shows in Yokohama Arena on February 9, 2017 and met his fans after two years.
On the splendid stage, Kim showed off his intense opening performance with a grandeur band and said, "Today is the third day already. The last concert in Yokohama! Are you ready to enjoy without regret?" He also joked that he learnt from his Japanese friends on the same day earlier and warmed up the atmosphere of the stage.
It was three hours solely falling for Kim Jaejoong. The hearts of the audience were fluttered by Kim who ended his two-year hiatus and stood on stage again for an emotional reunion with the fans. He boasted his refreshing boy-like attractiveness in songs like "Luvholic" and "Kiss B". He showed his mellow rock ballads like "Drawer" and "Love You To Death". With the intense performance of powerful rock spirit like "Mine", he just ruled the stage.
Fans were not merely moved by his performances. Kim's gentleness and kindness did not change a bit and fans could not resist not to fall for him. His every word and glance towards the fans were full of gratitude and gladness. As if they read his heart, Japanese fans welcomed and applauded for all the performances of Kim who visited them in a month since his military discharge.
Meanwhile, Japanese fans from each district attended this concert in Yokohama together with fans from South East Asia and South America. A fan who came all the way from Chile to see her idol, waved the flag of Chile and applauded hard for his performance. A Finnish fan who have been Kim's fan for 10 years, waved a sketch book that wrote "Thank you for coming back" and unsparingly welcomed his return. Besides, a man in his 20s with his mother, a family audience with her 6-year-old daughter and her husband, and other audience of various age groups visited the concert hall.
Kim concluded his concert in Yokohama with success and he will continue his performance in Osaka on February 13 and 4, 2017 in Osaka-jō Hall.

What Are The Types Of Jurisdiction?
They don't have jurisdiction over cases on matters from which Congress has stripped their appellate jurisdiction, assigning it to another court.

The most frequent exercise of the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction has been in suits between two or more states. Instead, the Supreme Court's original docket has been dedicated largely to resolving disputes between state governments.

If the court does not have jurisdiction over the parties or things, the court must dismiss the case. Analogous jurisdiction existed in medieval times on the European Continent.

The Constitution gives Congress power to create such other courts as it deems appropriate. In other words, if the parties cannot settle the matter, no other court but the Supreme Court has authority, under the Constitution, to take jurisdiction.
Original jurisdiction
The Supreme Court's original docket has always been a minute portion of its overall caseload. These courts have jurisdiction to hear certain matters on. Take a look at all. Seventy-one judges preside over District Courts, which deal with civil cases exceeding small claims limits, law, criminal cases, and child custody cases, some small claims, and appeals from Justice Courts. Jurisdiction means a court has the authority to hear a case, while venue refers to the appropriate place where he case should be heard. So the court of appeal would not have original jurisdiction.
When the Supreme Court has decided to exercise its original jurisdiction powers, the This decision-making allows for greater decision-making flexibility, but it fails to illuminate how the Court will treat future cases which assert the original jurisdiction doctrine.

Federal jurisdiction in this sense is important in because federal law does not supersede state criminal law.
The geo-political levels of jurisdiction are often divided into regional, state, national, and international levels. Technically, yes, because the Constitution creates only the Supreme Court and gives it original jurisdiction in certain cases and appellate jurisdiction in all other cases.

When you choose to build a home or even buy a home, you invest more than your savings. You invest your time and your heart into this process. So, "Location, Location, Location" should be followed by a close second, "Builder, Builder, Builder." Choosing the right people to work with is the key when you are investing so much.
We always knew we wanted to build our home. We dreamt of choosing our colors, picking a floorplan and adding personal touches to where we hope to live the rest of our lives. We originally chose a different builder and had quite a bumpy road. We had already begun the process with first builder when we first contacted JH Custom Homes. We drove through several neighborhoods seeking ideas for our home and every time we drove through a division, it was the John Houston Homes that caught our attention. This prompted us to send their marketing team a facebook message inquiring about their plans and other details. Knowing we were not building with them, Meagan, with John Houston, graciously took the time to provide us with the selections and plans for two of their recent builds. We came to realize that our builder could not get the selections we desired and they didn't have the resources to build what we wanted. After a lot of back and forth attempting to get what we really wanted in our home, we were forced to start over with a new builder. We could say we wasted a lot of time with the wrong builder, but it was a blessing in disguise. The bumpy journey with the wrong builder led us to the right builder.
Meagan impressed us so much when she took the time to help us that it was an easy decision to start with John Houston. Plus, we were in love with the homes they had already built. Out driving around and feeling hopeful, we gave Meagan a call. She directed us to our salesperson, Melanie. We couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable and resourceful people to work with. From start to finish, everyone we talked with and worked with were on the same page. Melanie, Ami (their in-house designer) and Scott (our superintendent) were all compassionate, approachable and diligent. As busy as we know they were, they never let you see it. It was like we were the only house they were building. Any bumps that did pop up were resolved because Melanie and Scott always did what was right and were available when we needed them. In fact, Melanie made us feel like she worked for us and not John Houston. I felt like she had our best interest in mind with everything she did for us. Scott, our superintendent would stop every time he saw us out at the house and worked hard to make sure everything turned out exactly like we wanted it. And it did.
In the end, we were able to build a home that met our needs and with a builder who had the resources to let us design it to our perfection. The John Houston experience is what homebuilding should be like for families and it doesn't stop when you close. I still honk my horn and wave when I see Melanie or Scott in the neighborhood. It's the people that make the company. John Houston is good people.


I had planned to write about last weekend's outing near Lac Le Jeune where we took the boys skiing. It was freezing cold (minus 21) and the snow gave up clumping up and turned dusty instead. It was a good frosty adventure.
Curious? I was. And he told us. We looked it up and cringed.
Like I said, mindless. So you might ask if the cringing was elicited by the mindless aspect of it. Partially, but the disturbing part were some of the upgrades.
Child labour is an atrocious reality of today's world and so are sweatshops, there's no way of joking about it and not wondering where your common sense and heart went. You just cannot take such things in jest and have your dignity intact.
Yet children click on cookies and buy child labour as we speak, in an effort (or not, since the device they play on can keep up the game playing by itself) to collect… well, more cookies. Mindless should become worrisome at this point.
A sign of times, you might say. Empathy and a social conscience plus a responsibility to watch over the values our children learn or not learn, that should stay, no matter how crazy the times get.
The world is a crazy place to be, it has always been, but we are witnessing the stretching of this concept to new dimensions. If I had to choose one major aspect of the new degree of craziness I'd settle on information and the way we use it.
The amount of information we are bombarded with on a daily basis has increased a lot since the first days of internet. Exponential growth on steroids.
If we lived in a physically enclosed internet space, someone looking from up above will be noticing some bursting at the seams here and there. With more to come.
And if daily information for the adult mind is overwhelming occasionally, and increasingly so, just imagine what it's like for children.
Jumping off a cliff in the azure waters below because you choose to is one thing. Being pushed off is a totally different thing.
Children today are born and raised in the murky waters of too much information, and much of it is often controversial enough and it should make even us adults avert our eyes.
The question is: are we vocal and aware of the controversial content enough to make our children aware of things that are not right. Because that is the responsible thing to do.
It is simply wrong to assume that this is only going to amuse kids. It will also desensitize them. We are born empathic.
Young children cannot stand to hear another one crying, yet if they are not encouraged in that caring attitude they may lose it after a while.
As they grow, they become prisoners to peer pressure and their own social image, which they will strive to keep cool at all costs. Often the price is insensitivity, a sword with more than two sharp edges that ends up hurting them, their loved ones and increasingly affecting the world around.
It is high time we reconsider our children's upbringing and align the values we want them to adopt for themselves with the ones we would like to see modeled around us every day.

Fundraising Transparency
This Experience is part of a fundraising campaign for Charities Aid Foundation America ("CAF America"), which is a globally recognized United States 501(c)(3) public charity (Federal Tax ID # 43-1634280). CAF America retains exclusive control over all donations raised in this Experience.
(a) How it works: Omaze and CAF America work together to offer incredible Experiences, like this one. You don't have to donate to enter, but if you do, 100% of your donation goes to CAF America, who then distributes the donations, minus the Experience fees and costs, to the nonprofit(s) identified on the experience page (the "Designated Grantee(s)"). Our model allows CAF America and the non-profit grantees to spend less time worrying about raising funds and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.
(b) Where your donation goes: For Omaze Owned Experiences, like this one, 15% of the total donations goes to the Designated Grantee(s) via a grant from CAF America. (If there are multiple Designated Grantees, then this amount is equally distributed to each). CAF America retains a small percentage of the total donations (less than 1%) to cover its own operating costs. Omaze uses the remaining amount to pay for the Experience costs, such as Prize costs, payment processing fees, and advertising to awesome people like you, and to cover our operating costs of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen. Owned Experiences have higher costs associated with prizing and promotion, which is why a larger percentage goes to Experience costs.
(c) Designated Grantee Eligibility: Before every Experience, CAF America confirms the Designated Grantee(s) as eligible to receive grants. In the rare case where, after the launch of an Experience but before distribution of the donations, a Designated Grantee fails to maintain eligibility (per CAF America's grant-making policies and/or applicable laws), then CAF America may (i) withhold distribution of the donations until the Designated Grantee is eligible or (ii) reassign the donations to another nonprofit that supports a similar cause. If CAF America reassigns the donations to an alternate organization, the Experience page will be updated to identify what entity(ies) received the grant(s).
(d) When will the Designated Grantee get the money? Omaze sends 100% of donations from this Experience to CAF America within 2 business days of Omaze's receipt of the donation. The speed at which CAF America distributes the donations to the Designated Grantee(s) depends on the classification of the Experience and can be anywhere from 2 weeks after Omaze received your donation to 90 days from the close of the Experience. In circumstances where a Designated Grantee fails to maintain eligibility to receive grants, the above grant distribution timeframes may be impacted.
For Experiences where the grant amount is a percentage of total donations (e.g., Premiere and Owned Experiences), CAF America will distribute the donations via multiple grants throughout the duration of the Experience, usually within 10-15 business days following CAF America's receipt of donations from Omaze.
For Experiences where the grant amount is a percentage of Adjusted Donations (total donations minus Experience costs), CAF America will distribute donations after reconciliation of all Experience costs (usually within 15-90 days following the close of the Experience).

Q: Kustomize: Set attribute value from file or URI I want to have a Kustomize manifest where value for some attribute comes from entire contents of some file or URI.
How can I do this?

A: Usually with kustomize what you are going to use is an overlay and patches (which is one or multiple files) that are kind of merged into your base file. A Patch overrides an attribute.
With those two features you predefine some probable manifest-compositions and just combine them right before you apply them to your cluster.
You can add or edit/set some specific attributes with patches or with kustomize subcommands like so:
kustomize edit set image your-registry.com:$image_tag

# just to identify version in metadata sections for service/deployment/pods - not just via image tag
kustomize edit add annotation appVersion:$image_tag
kustomize build . | kubectl -n ${your_ns} apply -f -

But if you want to have a single manifest file and manipulate the same attributes over and over again (on the fly), you should consider using helm's templating mechanism.
This is also an option if kustomize does not allow you to edit that single specific attribute you want to alter.
You just need a values.yaml file (containing key/value pairs) and a template.yaml file. You can pre-set some attributes in the values.yaml - on demand you can override them per CLI. The tool will generate you a k8s manifest with those values backed in.

A: You can include a remote kustomization.yml file but not a single value. You could build your own transformer plugin if you really wanted to, but it's not really in the spirit of Kustomize.

A: The typical pattern to import complete files with Kustomize is to use ConfigMaps or Secrets
With configMapGenerator and secretGenerator you can import config files or environment variables, that you can then use in a Pod or Deployment by mounting them as volumes (for files) or using envFrom for environment variables.
For example:
configMapGenerator:
- name: my-env-cm
  namespace: my-namespace
  envs:
  - params.env
- name: my-config-file
  behavior: replace
  files:
  - config.json=config.json # <file name>=<local file to use>
  - other_config.json=other_config_file.json

where params.env is:
FOO=bar
BAZ=qux

The Deployment then looks like:
volumes:
- name: config-file
  configMap:
    name: my-config-file
containers:
- name: myapp
  env:
  - name: FOO_FROM_CM
    valueFrom:
      configMapKeyRef:
        name: my-env-cm
        key: FOO
# or directly import all env variables
  envFrom:
  - configMapRef:
    name: my-env-cm
# for files:
  volumeMounts:
  - mountPath: /etc/config

Contest 1 -In our WorldWelcome to the Legacy of Drizzt Do'Urden Club's first contest: Drizzt in our world.
Your task is to either illustrate or/and write what it might be like for our favourite drow to be thrown into our world. How will he react to all the technology, people, and places? Will he freak out at the site of a skyscraper or get mesmerised by something as simple as a washing machine? The choice is yours.
Some examples: Drizzt learning to drive, discovering a computer, finding out about his own books/fanfiction, indoor plumbing, video games, electricity, etc. Really the choices are unlimited, and probably rather humerus in most cases.
- Can be drawn, painted, rendered, photomaniped etc.
- Should have a decent background after all its about the world around him.
- Must center around Drizzt and his new experiences on earth, but you can add your own characters (or even yourself if you want).
- It may be in 'skit' from if you wish.

IFJ Backs World Conference of Lesbian and Gay Trade Unionists
The International Federation of Journalists today called on journalists' unions around the world to support the 2nd world conference of lesbian and gay trades unionists, which is to be held in Sydney, Australia from October 31 - November 2.
Every day, all over the world, lesbians and gay men face discrimination, homophobia and violence in their workplace. Many are denied employment or promotion, and many do not receive the same workplace rights and entitlements as their heterosexual colleagues.
However, in recent years there has been a growing recognition that the industrial rights of gay men and lesbians should be an integral part of the work of all trade unions.
Workers Out! 2nd World Conference of Lesbian and Gay Trade Unionists will be held in conjunction with the Sydney 2002 Gay Games. It will bring together lesbian and gay workers, trade unionists, activists and key rights organisations from around the world to develop strategies over sexuality discrimination and homophobia in the workplace.
"I urge all unions to support this important conference by encouraging and supporting delegates to attend," said Chris Warren, President, International Federation of Journalists. "These are issues which need to be discussed not just within journalism and through media, but within our unions."
The conference will open on October 31 2002, and winds up on November 2 in time for the Sydney Gay Games Opening Ceremony. The venue is available on November 3 for regional or industry caucuses and other conference activities, including a day-long screening of gay and lesbian work-related documentaries and shorts. It is to be held at Sydney University, situated five minutes from the centre of the city.
Workers Out! will continue the work done at the 1998 Conference on Trade Unions, Homosexuality and Work, which was held prior to the 1998 Gay Games in Amsterdam. It was endorsed by the Australian Council of Trade Unions Congress in June 2000, and has since been endorsed by several international affiliate bodies, including the IFJ.
Workers Out! aims to:
integrate defence of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workers' rights into the human rights programs of national and international trade union structures;
achieve representation of lesbian and gay workers' rights in union and labour conventions at an international level, and in legislative and policy change at a local level;
facilitate the development of workplace policies on HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases in which the rights of people with HIV/AIDS and other affected workers are protected.
You can register for the conference, and obtain more information on our activities at the website - www.workersout.com. You can also contact IFJ Oceania regional delegate Ruth Pollard for more information on ruth_pollard@hotmail.com.

Activist Group Highlights Importance Of Early Education For Black NYC Children
NEW YORK, NY – The Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies Early Care & Education Working Group will highlight the urgent need to improve the quality of early care and education for young black males in New York City at its second annual "Young Black Leaders of Tomorrow" Luncheon on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 12:00 PM at Cipriani Wall Street. The event will also honor two leaders for their work to advance and promote high quality early care and education for young black children. All event proceeds will benefit the Winning Strategies Early Care & Education Fund.
WHAT: The Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies Early Care & Education Working Group
highlights the importance of providing young black males with the highest quality care and education from birth through kindergarten – at the beginning of the pipeline to higher education -- and honors two leaders.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 16, 2010: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
WHO: Honorees: Marilyn F. Booker, Managing Director and Head of Diversity — North
America, Morgan Stanley, Alan M. Cohen, Global Head of Compliance, Goldman Sachs
Keynote speaker: Raymond J. McGuire, Head of Global Banking, Citi
Featured speaker; Pedro Noguera, Professor of Teaching and Learning at New York
University and Executive Director of the Metropolitan Center for Urban Education
About Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies:
Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies was established to engage the private sector in closing the social and economic divides for young black men. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, Goldman, Sachs & Co., and Harvard LawSchool's Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice launched the initiative to address the rising rates of school drop outs, unemployment, and incarceration that have significantly reduced the number of young black men in the pipeline to higher education and professional careers. Pipeline has since identified and is marshalling support for a range of "winning strategies" that have proven effective in combating the alarming rate at which young black men are slipping through the cracks.
About the Pipeline Early Care & Education Working Group:
The Pipeline Early Care & Education Working Group aims to provide young black males with the highest quality care and education from birth through kindergarten, at the very beginning of the pipeline. The Working Group, in conjunction with
of New York City, established the Winning Strategies Early Care & Education Fund which is currently supporting a model focused on providing intensive professional development to five child care centers in East New York, Brooklyn and ultimately informing policy reforms for quality improvement efforts and improved educational outcomes.
Members of the press who wish to attend must RSVP to Andrew Yarbrough at
ayarbrough@globalstrategygroup.com or 646-652-9108. All attendees, including members of the press, must also be dressed in business attire.

← 3 Amigos Christmas 2018 Podcast: Bruins Talk, World Junior Preview
Happy 2019- Winter Classic thoughts →

Bergeron scores 300th goal, Flashback to 2nd Olympic gold
Patrice Bergeron is Boston's "Mr Everything" (Photo courtesy of Alison M. Foley)
After missing the last 16 games to injury, Patrice Bergeron showed zero signs of rust, promptly scoring the first 2 goals of his team's Saturday matinee against the struggling Nashville Predators, and adding an assist (here's hoping the NHL properly credits him with a 2nd helper on David Pastrnak's 2-on-1 dagger goal to make it 4-2) to lead his team to another key win, as the Boston Bruins roster is slowly getting healthy again.
The second tally, which put his team up 2-1 briefly early in the third period, was the 300th career NHL for the 45th overall draft pick in the storied 2003 NHL Draft. He's still looking for his 1,000th career game in the Black & Gold- a quest derailed by 1.5 lockouts, nearly an entire season lost in 2007-08 on a Randy Jones hit from behind and numerous other setbacks that have taken a physical toll on Boston's Mr. Everything.
300 goals in a Bruins uniform.
As the esteemed Kevin Paul Dupont pointed out, he's only the sixth player in team history to accomplish that feat. B's 300 club members (by order of goal totals): Johnny Bucyk, Phil Esposito, Rick Middleton, Raymond Bourque and Cam Neely. If you know anything about Bruins team history, then you know that's quite an esteemed group to be a part of…Boston hockey's very own League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And just think how much sooner Bergeron would have hit the scoring milestone had he not missed so many games over the years.
Don't tell him he's 33, either- he shows no sign of slowing down. Even if he loses a step in his skating, which was never elite to begin with, he's such an intelligent player with a sublime set of mitts, that it's hard to envision his game going off a cliff all at once.
Enjoy his excellence while you can- he's one of the greatest players in franchise history, and nothing lasts forever.
Here's a trip down memory lane going back to the 2014 Winter Olympics when Bergeron was still on the right side of 30 and had just helped Team Canada to a second consecutive gold medal.
You can't say it enough- when he walks away from NHL ice for the last time as a player, he'll have built one hell of a legacy. It's pretty damn fine today at the end of 2018…what more is in store for us?
Enjoy the ride!
Here's a re-posting of an article I wrote in New England Hockey Journal in February, 2014- K.L.
Man with the Golden Gun: Patrice 'Mr. Everything' Bergeron nearing Perfection
Perfection is not a word taken lightly.
Using it to describe any athlete or performance, no matter how sublime, threatens to cheapen its meaning. When using it to describe one Patrice Bergeron-Cleary, there aren't many other roads you can travel that won't lead you back to perfection in its purest form.
"Whatever it takes, right?" Bergeron said to NBC's Pierre McGuire after a two-assist performance over Norway to kick off the schedule. "I'm just happy to be here, trying to chip in any way I can. Whether it's the right side, the left side, it doesn't matter to me."
That's as close to perfect an answer you will get from the veteran Boston Bruins heart and soul center, who also just captured his second Olympic gold medal at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. If they didn't know it already, proud Canadians and hockey fans around the globe are certainly coming to grips with the importance of the man teammates and coaches call "Mr. Everything".
With Canada's third Olympic triumph in four iterations going back to 2002, it seems to strain the bounds of credulity to realize that Bergeron has been such an integral part of multiple championships beyond Olympic competition.
"(Bergeron) deserves very much to be honored correctly," B's teammate Torey Krug said via email after Canada captured gold to close out the winter games. "He is the most honest guy I have ever met and that's what makes him special. When he comes to the rink, he's honest with himself in terms of effort and his mentality. He never takes a day off."
In many ways, Bergeron's hockey stardom defies logic. Nearly eleven years ago, he was completely passed up in the first round of the NHL draft in Nashville because scouts felt he wasn't big enough or fast enough. A few months later, he broke camp with the Bruins a little over 60 days after he turned 18 precisely because he proved he was.
Back then, Bergeron was a shy teenager who spoke fluent if heavily accented English, but he sure could speak the language of an impact player from the get go. Some things may have evolved over the decade-plus he's skated for the Black and Gold, but what absolutely has not changed is his disciplined approach and sheer presence as part of any winning formula.
"I think that a lot of what I do is natural," a 17-year-old Bergeron said in the very first sit down interview he did with New England Hockey Journal at the 2003 NHL draft. "But I always work and prove my place. I think that (vision/hockey sense) is natural, but the other parts of the game have to come when you work hard. It's like when you learn on the job and as you work more, you get more confident and better at your job. With me, it's the same thing."
He came into the NHL a virtual unknown as the league's youngest player in the 2003-04 campaign, but was a world champion before he turned 19. Team Canada saw enough to add him to the 2004 World Championship roster after the NHL rookie's B's were unceremoniously dumped by the hated Montreal Canadiens (and his current bench boss, Claude Julien if that doesn't beat all) in the first round.
A little more than six months later, the 2004-05 NHL lockout meant that Bergeron was adding a World Jr. Championship title (and tournament MVP honors) to his resume, the first player ever to win a hockey senior world championship before doing the under-20 thing that so many of the elite NHL players go through before they become pros.
He stands for so much more than the on-ice success he's enjoyed since first stepping foot in the TD Garden dressing room. If not for Zdeno Chara, Bergeron would be unequivocally wearing the captain's 'C' in Boston, but his humility, inner fire and unimpeachable credentials make him the ideal alternate, and heir apparent to the B's captaincy when that day eventually comes.
"If he's feeling down he doesn't get too down," Krug said. "If he's confident and on a roll he doesn't get too high. He pushes himself and it forces other guys to do the same if they want to stay and compete at the level he is at."
When Bergeron became the youngest player in team history to hit the 30-goal mark at 20, he appeared poised to become one of the club's top snipers. A crushing hit from behind by Philadelphia defenseman Randy Jones a little over a year later nearly ended Bergeron's career, but when he returned during the 2008-09 season, he reinvented himself as one of the NHL's purest defensive centers.
Since then, all Bergeron has done is won an Olympic gold medal on home soil in Vancouver despite a nagging groin injury that left him a shell of himself. Oh, and then there's that encore he had in the same town in the spring of 2011, when he hoisted the Stanley Cup over his head along with the rest of his Bruins mates, bringing hockey championship mana to Boston for the first time in 39 years.
For good measure, Bergeron added a Spengler Cup to his trophy case during last season's lockout when he was playing in Switzerland alongside former B's teammate Tyler Seguin. Hosted by Swiss team HC Davos just after Christmas each year and considered the world's oldest invitational hockey tournament, Bergeron's made the most of his presence on Team Canada, thanks to another round of NHL labor strife.
Whether you need the ultimate team award like Lord Stanley's chalice or a pair of Olympic gold medals, or an individual accolade like the Frank J. Selke Trophy, which Bergeron won in 2012 for being the NHL's top defensive forward, the 28-year-old has already delivered one hundredfold that other players have spent many more years trying in vain to achieve. Multiple championships are the closest thing to perfection we have in the world of team sports, and Bergeron is among the best.
If there's been a recent blemish on Bergeron's fantastical hockey resume, one could point to last spring's defeat by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final, a true black-and-blue series that saw the Boston alternate captain exceed any sane threshold for pain to compete.
Broken rib… check. Separated shoulder…check. Collapsed lung…check. Yet, instead of checking into the ICU, he very nearly willed his team to victory with one of the grittiest, most productive finals performances in team history.
So, even when the a-ha! Sherlock Holmes moment comes when you might say that Patrice Bergeron is indeed imperfect, he still did everything humanly possible to debunk that notion. As fine a player Bergeron is, in hockey, you can't go it alone.
"He brings the same thing to the table every game, whether were playing last place team or playing in the finals," said Krug. "His honesty has influenced everyone in the locker room. He could be a top scorer in the NHL but he chooses to be a bigger part of the puzzle on one of the most consistent teams in the league."
Nearly 11 years after the B's used the 45th overall compensation pick they took from the NHL to allow Bill Guerin to walk away to Big D and collect a $9 million payday on Bergeron, Boston's payoff has been astounding.
The team not only has reaped the rewards of his presence and individual play as Bergeron continues his climb within the top-20 of the team's all-time leading scorers, but he helped lead them to a Stanley Cup championship, a two-goal Game 7 showing in 2011 a fitting coda to how important he is. It's why they refused to even let him reach free agency, locking him up for another seven years last summer when he had a full year remaining on his existing deal signed back before that magical return to glory three years ago.
Mr. Everything? To some B's fans, he just might be the only thing that prevented USA's big flameout in Sochi from being any more disappointing.
But even with another gold medal to go with the others and a Stanley Cup ring, Bergeron knows how agonizing it was to get so close to winning a second ring only to come up short.
And if Mr. Everything has his way, the only fitting follow up to an Olympic triumph would be raising another Stanley Cup banner in Boston next October.
That would be perfect.
