You will also be responsible for securing the Equipment, your Account, passwords and files, and for all uses of your Account or the Equipment with or without your knowledge or consent.
3.12 DocSend's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

We make no representations or warranties that electronic records signed via DocSend are valid, enforceable, or have legal effect.

Consumer transactions generally involve individuals who obtain, through a transaction, products or services which are used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. These requirements may include providing disclosures and paper copies of electronic records. DocSend Signature does not comply with any of these requirements and other legal requirements. You may not use DocSend Signature in connection with consumer transactions.

18 Mandatory Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, and Class Action Waiver.
18.1 You agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 18 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property as provided below.
18.2 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action you will contact us at [email protected] and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your user name, if your dispute relates to an Account). Except for intellectual property, you and DocSend agree to use reasonable efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with DocSend, and good faith negotiations will be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
18.3 Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under Section 18.2, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims (except as provided below) subject to these Terms. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of DocSend Services will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 U.S. Dollars and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 U.S. Dollars, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
18.4 Arbitrator's Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award will be written and will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.6 Fees and Costs. If your claim(s) total is less than US $5,000 U.S. Dollars, then: (a) you may choose whether your participation in the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents provided to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing; (b) DocSend will reimburse your filing fees up to a maximum of US $1,500 U.S. Dollars unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous; and (c) DocSend will not seek attorney's fees and costs, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
18.7 No Jury Trial. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration section, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
18.8 Venue. Arbitration will be initiated and take place in San Francisco, California, United States, and you and DocSend agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco, California in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
18.9 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the party's respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND DOCSEND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above will be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
18.10 Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in any state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).
19.1 If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable; and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.
19.2 No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind DocSend in any respect whatsoever; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.
19.3 In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees.
19.4 These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights to the DocSend product or to any third party product made available through the Service.
19.5 Section headings are for ease of reference only.
20 Governing Law. These Terms will be governed by the law of the State of California, exclusive of its choice of law and conflicts of law provisions.

Q: Translating Languages In Delphi I have been looking for ages now for some code that can translate any language to another but none of the code I find works.
I know Google has a good translate API but I can't get anyone's Delphi code on it to work.
There is always an error that comes in the way.
Any help would be much appreciated, I need a program that can translate ASAP of my final school project.

A: Maybe you did not find Marco Cantu's works?Works with REST/AJAX/Delphi
But as RRUZ said, the Google Translate API is only available now as a paid service.

A: The Google Translate API is a good option, but now is available only as a paid service. Instead you can try the Microsoft Translator V2 API, check this article Using the Microsoft Translator V2 API from delphi for more details about how use this API from delphi.
UPDATE
This is the same demo project of the article modified to be compatible with your version of delphi.

A: First of all, you can not find a 100% tool to translate from a language to another. You can have a tool which is doing some(more or less) of the job for you, but you need to 'polish' the rest. As RRUZ said, you can use the Microsoft's translator but what I've said applies also in this case. Any tool of this type will cost you money. Google's translate is quite good, but you need to pay for it.
PS: I don't think that at school they ask you to create a tool which is translating from any language to any language. Maybe a small tool which can prove you got the concept. just my 2 cents...

Focus relies heavily on the effectiveness and marketing support of digital media, especially their Website. The majority of their patients connect with them online. Social media and digital ads that link prospects to specific landing pages on their Site, are essential tools in connecting Focus with their audience.
When we met with the client, they were running a relatively extensive Display, Paid Search (PPC), and Paid Social marketing campaign, which included both Facebook and Twitter. However, they felt their current efforts were not producing the kind of clicks, calls and conversions they had initially anticipated.
Following our meeting, we began with an evaluation of their messaging and placement of their existing search and display ads. We also reviewed content on the Site. Quality content drives search engine rankings and increases Site traffic, improving your authority and relevance.
From there, we looked at keywords and keyword phrases potential visitors might use when searching. We examined Title, Description, and Keyword Metadata and finally we checked out links contained within the text on the Site's pages and their search engine value.
After all this, we suggested messaging changes in their Search and Display ads, adding a sense of empathy and urgency to the wording. We also strengthened links to specific pages on the Site, ensuring that those who were searching a specific topic were linked to the proper page that immediately addressed it, increasing the possibility of conversion. We made sure that any links within page text had rich keywords, increasing search engine value. And we agreed to assist in writing and making monthly blog posts, containing relevant topics that were optimized for the search engines.
Although it has only been a month, the results of our efforts are quite promising. Impressions for the month have exceeded 491,000. Total clicks are well over 2,000. Calls from our Display and Search ads stand at 17 and conversions at a total of 47. The benchmark for conversions is 1.5%, but our conversion rate surpassed the benchmark at 2.1%.
That said, we look for even better numbers next month. You might say, sometimes a change in focus is a good thing.

View Full Version : Pacific Sintered Metals?????
Has anyone ever worked with their line of particle steels?
Just wondering if they have anything that is above and beyond what Crucible has?
Well, they really don't give much information on their steels. The fact they don't provide any formulation information is a little strange since anyone in the steel business can analyse a steel and define it's components down to the ppm range.
Just a wild guess, but given their obvious difficulties with the English language, I'd guess the materials are imported. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself unless they are infringing Crucible's patents, which could be the reason for the dearth of useful information.
Sintering is an older, lower tech process for producing powder metal technology that I understand does not produce 100% compaction and often leaves oxidation sites and voids in the metal that may (or will) form crack tip nucleation sites and weaknesses in the lattice. It is essentially similar to how PMs are canister welded forming mosaic patterns.
If you look at the Crucible method as a high pressure forging in a vacuum, you can see the difference. The lack of opportunities for internal oxidation sites is insured both by the vacuum and by the 100% compaction of the isostatic pressing.


Intense femtosecond (10−15 s) light pulses can be used to transform electronic, magnetic and structural order in condensed-matter systems on timescales of electronic and atomic motion1, 2, 3. This technique is particularly useful in the study4, 5 and in the control6 of materials whose physical properties are governed by the interactions between multiple degrees of freedom. Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is in this context a direct and comprehensive, energy- and momentum-selective probe of the ultrafast processes that couple to the electronic degrees of freedom7, 8, 9, 10. Previously, the capability of such studies to access electron momentum space away from zero momentum was, however, restricted owing to limitations of the available probing photon energy10, 11. Here, using femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet pulses delivered by a high-harmonic-generation source, we use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to measure the photoinduced vaporization of a charge-ordered state in the potential excitonic insulator 1T-TiSe2 (refs 12, 13). By way of stroboscopic imaging of electronic band dispersions at large momentum, in the vicinity of the edge of the first Brillouin zone, we reveal that the collapse of atomic-scale periodic long-range order happens on a timescale as short as 20 femtoseconds. The surprisingly fast response of the system is assigned to screening by the transient generation of free charge carriers. Similar screening scenarios are likely to be relevant in other photoinduced solid-state transitions and may generally determine the response times. Moreover, as electron states with large momenta govern fundamental electronic properties in condensed matter systems14, we anticipate that the experimental advance represented by the present study will be useful to study the ultrafast dynamics and microscopic mechanisms of electronic phenomena in a wide range of materials.

Cars and technology are industries that have been going hand-in-hand for quite a while now, and the positive effects of technology over the automotive industry are obvious: cars are faster, safer and smarter than ever, all to the benefit of the drivers and passengers using them.There are also numerous technology-centered car concepts out there, each giving us a glimpse of how the future of transportation might look like, so it's safe to say that there's more to see from car technology. While it's not always rainbows and butterflies, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in most cases. Here are 5 facts uncovering the benefits and drawbacks of the latest car technology.
Hybrid vehicles have been around for some time, demonstrating the advantage of using electric motors, and now fully-electric vehicles are starting to make their way into the market. However, electric vehicles have two major limitations – range and charging time. Tesla has done some impressive advancement in terms of both, but it's still not enough if we want to head to an all-electric future.
The answer to both problems might come from Porsche and their upcoming "Mission E" electric sports car. While the Mission E is still work in progress, with the first functional prototype scheduled to be unveiled in 2018, it's expected that Porsche will stick to its claims, given the tremendous budget of $1 billion that was allotted to the project.
Porsche indicated that they are developing a high-power 800V battery system that can charge to 80% of the battery's capacity in 15 minutes. When this comes true, it's green light for going all-electric.
Pollution is one of the biggest problems we're dealing with right now, and its effects are very harmful, to say the least, so it's crucial we do something about it. Considering the fact that cars are among biggest sources of pollution, switching to electric vehicles is a must.
Some might argue that obtaining the electric energy required to power a grid that keeps all cars running would also be a polluting process, so switching to electric vehicles will just mean trading one evil for another, but given the example set by Tesla, which relies heavily on solar power to gather the required electricity to power their charging stations, and their plans to integrated solar panels directly in the roof of their cars, it's safe to say that the future might be a green one after all.
With everything around us becoming smart, it's no surprise cars are getting in the loop as well. Various types of assisted driving systems have been in use for years, but they are really blooming now thanks to technology. Cars can now keep their speed and lane or park autonomously, and we're mere steps away from having fully autonomous cars roaming the streets. Companies such as Google, Tesla, Volvo and Audi have already demonstrated such capabilities, but they are still in the testing phase. It's just a matter of time until we share the streets with self-driving cars.
We're all eager to enjoy care-free commutes and have the cars drive us around by themselves, but some people are a bit too eager, unfortunately, as demonstrated by a fatal accident that took place on May 7th, 2016, when a Tesla with the Autopilot mode turned on crashed into a trailer.
While Tesla claims that their Autopilot is smart enough to drive the car on its own, it clearly warned drivers that the feature is still in testing and that they should not leave it unattended. Unfortunately, some went against the recommendations, which ultimately lead to the fatal crash.
This indicatesthat cars are not yet ready to drive themselves, and that people cannot be yet trusted with developing technology.
Self-driving cars may be the future, but they are a future that society is not quite ready for yet. There's a psychological barrier that needs to be removed before people would start trusting their lives in a computer-controlled car. There is also the legal aspect – who takes the fault if an autonomous car is the culprit in a fatal crash? Will it be the car manufacturer, the software developer, and the people in quality control? The laws and regulations are not designed for such situation, and finding the balance for such scenarios is quite difficult.

JMSC Undergraduates Cover China's Top Political Meetings
Asia Lacks an Effective Investigative Journalism Network, Expert Says
JMSC Alum Publishes New Book on King Arthur's Legends
Published by Martin Murphy at 26 March 2014
Many good journalists end up being novelists or non-fiction writers, but few would be brave enough to write a book about a character from the legend of King Arthur and her significance for modern-day feminism and female sexuality. But one of JMSC's own has done just that.
Kristina Perez, a graduate of the Journalism and Media Studies Centre, has just published "The Myth of Morgan la Fey" about King Arthur's sister. According to Palgrave Macmillan, the publisher, the book "reveals (Morgan's) true identity through a comprehensive investigation of the famed enchantress's evolution – or devolution – over the past millennium and its implications for gender relations today."
"I've had a lifelong love affair with Morgan la Fey," said Perez. "I first started reading the Arthurian legends when I was 13 and more than either King Arthur or Lancelot, it was always Morgan who captivated me. She was more powerful than the king himself and it was her story I wanted to tell."
"My training as a journalist was an enormous benefit to me when approaching the research I had done for my PhD, breaking it down and rewriting it to reach both a specialist and generalist audience," she said.
Perez has a PhD in Medieval Literature from the University of Cambridge in the UK. Her journalistic work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal Asia, Condé Nast Traveler, CNN, and the South China Morning Post, among other publications.

It's an important time for sports gambling in the U.S. In a Philadelphia courtroom Wednesday, the latest push to further legalize sports gambling played out as New Jersey once again argued to be allowed to offer legal wagering on athletic contests, going up against the NCAA and the four major sports leagues. Meanwhile, the tides could be shifting nationwide toward legalization.
The push from New Jersey was its third such attempt after failing with seminal court cases commonly referred to as Christie I and Christie II, named for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who signed the sports betting bill in question. The hearing in Philadelphia was a rare en banc panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which means a majority of the active judges on the 3rd Circuit felt the Christie II decision, which went against the state, deserved a rehearing. Essentially, the 12-judge panel heard arguments Wednesday concerning a New Jersey plan to operate sports books and whether it was legal under federal law. A decision is not expected for months.
Wednesday was also important for sports gambling enthusiasts and advocates — the eventual decision could be a defining moment in their efforts — but it also represented just a ripple in the growing momentum for legalized sports gambling in the United States. Amid a growing effort from lobbyists at the federal level for legalization — and new fodder provided by a continued controversy surrounding daily fantasy sports — the national environment could be suited to advocates of legal sports wagering.
"I would say that this certainly represents an apex to the issue of regulated sports betting in the last decade," said Chris Grove, a gambling industry analyst and editor of Legal Sports Report, told International Business Times.
After the hearing Wednesday, the consensus from experts was that New Jersey could be fighting a losing battle. The state would need to convince seven judges it was within its rights to take in wagers at casinos, which has been blocked by the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PAPSA).
"Look for either an 8-4 or 7-5 victory in favor of the leagues," Daniel Wallach, a sports and gambling lawyer at Becker & Poliakoff in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, told the New York Times.
When PAPSA was passed in 1992, Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon chose to take advantage of a one-year window to legalize some form of sports betting, and Las Vegas has become the country's hub for legal sports gambling. Nevada took in $4.2 billion in sports wagers last year while some $400 billion a year is taken in illegally either through bookies or offshore operations, the Times said.
But there is an ongoing push to bring sports gambling to the forefront of legislative discussion in hopes of a sweeping change. Leagues, the NFL especially, traditionally have been wary of sports gambling over concerns of game-fixing while gaming advocates have argued the betting is happening regardless. The American Gaming Association recently began pushing for sports gambling at a federal level. The hope is state-level pressure — like the effort in New Jersey — will put the issue front-and-center in Washington.
The group estimated 97 percent of the more than $4 billion wagered on the Super Bowl this year was done so illegally. "It seems to me that if it really is such a widespread behavior that people want to bet on sports that it just gets legalized broadly," said Dr. David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at UNLV to IBT.
That may be the direction in which the fight is heading. The case for creating a lane for legal sports gambling has been bolstered by numerous states working on carving out legislation that would regulate daily fantasy sports, which many critics consider to be a clever way of legalizing a form of sports wagers. The operators themselves — chiefly DraftKings and FanDuel — say it is not gambling and legal under a law allowed for fantasy sports even if daily fantasy did not exist at the time.
"I don't see how you can be for daily fantasy sports betting and opposed to traditional sports betting like what exists in Nevada and what would be offered in New Jersey," Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill U.S., a major Nevada sports book operator, told Sports Illustrated after Wednesday's hearing. Pro leagues and individual franchises were quick to partner with daily fantasy operators as the games burst onto the scene.
The purported shared DNA of sports betting and daily fantasy, the leagues' softening (barring the NFL, which has remained the staunchest opponent of sports gambling), state-led efforts and the struggle to contain illegal gambling are all major factors placing pressure toward sports gambling's legalization. There's an unprecedented level of attention on the issue.
Grove told IBT a common prediction for a timeframe on the legalization of regulated sports betting in the U.S. is 2019. There's momentum, but still it's hard to change the status quo. Grove, while agreeing tides were shifting, was hesitant to jump on board with a hard 2019 prediction.
"I'm very much of the mind that momentum doesn't necessarily [mean] inevitability," he said.


"I've always dreamed big," said Taylor, 27, manager of the Black Alumni Association at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Ever since she learned to play Hangman – very well, at 5 – Taylor has nurtured a passion for "Wheel of Fortune," which is based off the age-old game. She'd watch it with her family at night and challenge herself via the Game Boy and computer CD-ROM her mother bought her.
Thursday, Taylor's parents, Robert and Levonia Taylor of Louisburg, and her siblings and extended family will gather around the television for a "Wheel of Fortune" watch party.
In 2013, Taylor tried 365 times. Literally.
She worked two years at the NCSU Office for Institutional Equity & Diversity before heading to school in L.A. in August 2012. She initially laid low in the game show pursuit, knowing her ultimate prize was the Master of Education in Postsecondary Administration in Student Affairs she received from USC in May.
But at a going-away part in July 2012, Taylor assured she'd be on "Wheel of Fortune." Everybody laughed.
She also drove four hours round-trip to a "Wheel of Fortune" mobile event and waited for hours, hoping to be called to audition. Nothing.
Taylor applied again Jan. 2, 2014.
She auditioned live Jan. 16 with more than 100 hopefuls. She made it to the final 15 and a chance to simulate a game. That included spinning the wheel, which weighs 2,400 pounds.
On Jan. 24, Taylor was called to tape on May 2. She was joined by friend Margie Cruz, and her older brother, the Rev. Jemonde Taylor, pastor of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church in Midtown.
Taylor explores Hollywood in other ways, too, using her communications degree from N.C. State as host of "Rich Girl Network," an online show that takes her to eateries all around L.A., and lands her on red carpets with celebrities.
She also landed a role as an extra in Angela Bassett's Lifetime movie about R&B great, the late Whitney Houston.
"I want to use my voice as a beacon of hope to other people: Don't give up, be persistent and be patient," she said. "Whatever dream you have, don't ever give up; just don't ever give up. I thank those people now.

Your garden is just so beautiful--those roses--I swoon! Not anywhere near warm enough here yet for such things, but I'm biding my time planting veggis and doing clean up chores. Did a ton of pruning over the first really warm weekend we've had here.
It is lovely to already see such beautiful roses. I am sure that your seedling will perk up and behave soon. Happy planting!
That garden's a busy place.
Ah- it's so nice to get my flower fix from your So. Cal. garden. :-) Thanks for sharing the pictures with us!

Massachusetts Startup Funding in May Stays Nearly Flat from April at $305.6M
Erin Kutz
Xconomy Boston —
Talk about consistent. Massachusetts startups inked $305.6 million in 36 equity-based deals in May, nearly identical to the $306 million they raised across 35 deals in April. That's according to FundingFlash, a daily roundup of companies receiving venture capital, angel investment, and growth equity funding, provided by our data partner CB Insights.
Startups in healthcare took an even bigger share of the overall funding pot last month, at $183.5 million across 15 deals. A $91 million Series D financing for Cambridge, MA-based osteoporosis drug developer Radius Health led the month's list of deals, and helped the healthcare sector take the top spot for dollars raised for the month. It was a big drop to the second-highest deal, a $34 million investment in Waltham, MA-based Histogenics, which is developing tissue regeneration products for knee cartilage repair.
Healthcare companies raised almost four times as much as the runnerup sector in May, Internet companies, at $46.6 million. PlumChoice, aBillerica, MA-based provider of remote IT services, took the top spot for the sector and the third spot overall, with $25.6 million.
The electronics sector sowed up an uncharacteristically high spot on the monthly funding list at third. That was entirely due to a $22 million deal for Watertown, MA-based QD Vision, which is developing quantum dot technology to enhance the LED backlights and overall displays on electronics like cell phones and TVs.
Funding for mobile, energy, and non-Internet or mobile software companies all slipped in May from the previous month. We'll have to keep our eyes on those sectors, but in the meantime, check out the full list of deals below.
Bay State startups collected another $32.3 million in 17 debt-based transactions. You can read those details below.

Geneva Kate was born November 2, 2012, by unexpected c-section, 24 hours after being admitted to the hospital for an induction at my request (her due date was October 28).
all things, in fact, come to us not by chance but by His fatherly hand.
Q. How does the knowledge of God's creation and providence comfort us?
that nothing in creation will separate us from His love.
that without His will they can neither move nor be moved.
Six years ago I wrote a Thanksgiving post after losing our third son in the second trimester. I then, too, had chosen a doctor rather than midwife, and birthed his frail little body with an induction and epidural at Kadlec Hospital. Now I have another November baby, with even more to be thankful for – her life, most of all. Though she was delivered by an "emergency" c-section, that emergency was that she simply wasn't going to stay put and engage. Her heart rate, even with three external versions, stayed strong. Some women can birth breech babies; I am not one of those women. The day of the delivery I counted the delivery as "horrible," though not as horrible as the natural home birth of my other little girl who didn't want to settle down and engage.
A week later I can look back and see that what made it feel horrible was the system shock of moving from a dark, quiet, empty birth suite into a bright, sterile operating room packed with people in gowns and masks. Also, after the baby was out, I asked for more pain relief and nodded that yes, I wanted it even though it would make me sleepy and forgetful. It sure did! I hadn't slept in 36 hours and I ended up sleeping through most of the rest of the surgery after I was shown my baby and she was whisked off. Then I woke up not knowing where I was or why I was staring at a white ceiling. I was dizzy while they wheeled me through the hall back to my suite, still uncertain what had just happened. Then I saw my mom with my baby that I hadn't yet been certain was real and I started crying. I was dizzy, couldn't focus, and was afraid to hold her for fear of dropping her. But I ached to hold her and see her. I had no idea how long I had slept, how long she had been born but without her mother. It was all surreal. A planned and prepared for c-section would not be a horrible birth, though it is certainly very different even from a normal hospital birth, much less a homebirth.
Before the birth, I had been prepared that if a c-section was necessary, I was ok with it and wouldn't argue. I'd rather have a c-section than relive most of my other births. But when that c-section became actual rather than theoretical, I realized in a panicked moment I really didn't know what a c-section entailed and I was facing the unknown.
In fact, the only reason I knew anything about what to expect beyond having my midsection cut open and sewn up again and that I wouldn't be able to drive for weeks thereafter was entirely through God's providence. Months ago I sent a review copy of my eBook to Mindy at Grateful for Grace. In due time she published her review and also offered me a review copy of her ebook, Make the Most of Your C-Sections. At the time, I didn't follow up with her on the offer because I didn't think it fit the scope of what I write about here at Simply Convivial. However, a week before my due date, Mindy sent me an email out of the blue with her eBook attached, letting me know how much she appreciated Simplified Dinners with the generous offer that because I wasn't likely to need her eBook, I could pass it on to a friend if I wanted. I opened it and read the whole thing through in one sitting, supposedly because it was late and I was bored, but actually because God knew I needed preparation for what was ahead. Because I read her book, I knew to expect quite a bit of pulling and tugging during the operation that honestly would have freaked me out if I hadn't known beforehand it was normal. Because I read her book, as soon as the doctor said we'd do a c-section, I told Matt to call my mom so we'd have two people there – so Mom could go with the baby and Matt could stay with me while I was being sewn up. Because I read the book, the first question I asked the nurse as she prepped me was if I could have the baby on my chest for even a little bit after she was out. The answer was no, there wasn't enough room for that to happen, but if I hadn't asked I would have regretted it afterward and likely blamed my ignorance for not having that opportunity instead of knowing it wasn't possible. It turns out her apgar score was so low she had to be worked with right away anyway. I was so grateful I'd had the providential opportunity to read Make the Most of Your C-Section, without it I would have been even less prepared and more fearful than I was.
A second providential read was the announcement of Rachel Jankovic's sixth-born. That announcement was months ago, but literally the day before I went into the hospital, I looked it up again. Matt had commented (via chat in the middle of the day) that I needed to beware of assuming that the birth would be easy because I was opting for an epidural. I sent him the link to Nancy's post and said that I was taking Nancy's and Rachel's advice: my birth plan was "to be grateful". Little did I know I would be having so similar a situation. But I meant it. I did intend to be grateful, and I was and am, by the grace and providence of God.
I suppose now I am part of the statistic used to prove that optional inductions have a higher rate of becoming c-sections, but I do believe this birth would have had the same outcome if I had waited until it was medically necessary to induce (between my history and the state of things 4 days after my due date, it's most likely she would have gone past the allowed 2 weeks overdue anyway) or gone into labor on my own for a planned homebirth. As shocking as it was to roll down the hall in my hospital bed to the OR, I can't even imagine having to make the transfer from laboring at home to the hospital and then going through the version attempts and c-section. My cervix was in an even worse position than it was during past births, she wouldn't descend and engage (none of mine have until hours into active labor), and she was 2 pounds smaller than my last two babies, so she had lots of room to go wherever she wanted. One can never know for sure, but I believe she would have moved to breech during labor regardless of the birth setting or timing. I am thankful for God's providential hand that had me already at the hospital with a doctor that gave me credit rather than disapproval for being a home birth mom and a doctor I could trust was making good decisions. I am thankful for God's providential hand that had me planning for the epidural I would have needed anyway, and because it was already planned for, it was offered and recommended that I have it before the first version was attempted. There is nothing like watching a six-foot man clearly exert all his strength on your belly to make you grateful for epidurals.
I am grateful my doctor allowed me a full meal as soon as I wanted after birth. Even moreso, I am grateful my doctor came in to check on me at 24 hours and asked if I'd like to stay or go home. Yes, as in go home then, 24 hours after a c-section. My own bedroom made a much more comfortable and restful recovery room than a hospital room – even a birth suite – could be. I was home that evening, about 30 hours after Geneva was born. For that I am thankful.
I am thankful for a husband who can take care of four kids and basic housekeeping while pampering his wife. I am thankful for a mother-in-law who not only had four kids over to spend two nights, but who even took them on an adventure to ride in combines to boot. I am very grateful for my own mom who, when Matt had to return to work, spent full days with me, keeping me company, holding the baby so I could nap and shower, helping with stubborn two-year-olds and whiny four-year-olds, sweeping, washing dishes, folding laundry, and picking up needed prescriptions and other items. I am thankful for our church family, who is providing dinners every day for two weeks plus some freezer meals. I am thankful for my nine- and seven-year-old boys who can make oatmeal and pull out lunch all on their own and who are capable of pulling more than their weight in keeping things running while I'm out of commission. Between Matt, my mom, and the two older boys, the house is better kept now than I kept it on my own in the early years of our marriage.
Most of all, of course, I am thankful for this precious little bundle of new life entrusted to our care. I am thankful that she is healthy and beautiful. I am thankful for this fifth opportunity to inhale the scent of a newborn head, to fall asleep with a baby on my chest, to smile at the pecking baby "kisses" I can steal before succumbing to her insistance on nursing. Looking at my growing family, I know this newborn time is fleeting, and I am thankful for the prolonged recovery time which not only allows but insists that I spend most of my days sitting, enjoying the feel and smell and sounds of Geneva Kate as a newborn babe.
What a wonderful outlook on your experience, Mystie! God is in control, indeed. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, and I'll be praying for your recovery.
Thank you for posting this, Mystie. Each delivery is so different, isn't it? I have had generally good experiences (for which I am exceedingly grateful), but the more babies I've had, the more I have been aware of trusting Him, rather than solely relying on myself or my carers (although I am exceedingly thankful for them, too). In fact, I'm finding that more and more as I get older. Not hat I am a crippled fearful person, by any means, rather that my youthful folly has lessened (slightly!) and my mortality has emerged.
Enjoy that entirely gorgeous little gift, won't you?
Oh, I meant to say, too, that I am sorry for the loss of your 3rd son.
Thankyou, thank-you for your story. After a traumatic birth experience with my first baby the doctors have ruled me as a c-seaction if I was to have another baby. Your story inspired me to be grateful for the experience.
I do recommend the eBook Making the Most of Your C-Section before you do have your c-section. It will be so much better than a traumatic birth, particularly if you know the c/s is coming and can prepare for it with help afterwards. Give up any guilt or feelings of inadequacy about it. Gratitude is a great cure for blues.
I just wanted to give you a virtual hug.
I was so grateful I read that post of Nancy's and took it to heart!
Thank you for this post. Geneva is beautiful and this post makes me look forward to our next birth story instead of dreading it. What a providential baby, and I want to read the books you read!!
Your fifth birth will also be providential, Britt! :) It will be nice to have a baby at a new place. I always felt birthing a baby in our home was a way of really making it our home. I hope you find a permanent place soon!
Congratulations and welcome to Miss Geneva Kate!
Thank you for posting this. Your humility and grace is beautiful. And so is that little baby!
But why did you have to make me miss those newborn hungry, rooting "kisses"?
A little late, but still…..congratulations with the birth of Geneva!
Being grateful, that is indeed the best birth plan.

Q: ¿Cual es la diferencia entre una peticion http y query manual a firebase? Ya he investigado algo al respecto, pero no logro entender que es mejor.
Si hacer todo con el tipico instance (Agregando firebase core, firestore y demas) de firebase como esto:
    FutureBuilder(
  future: _initializeFirebase(),
  builder: (context, snapshot) {
    if (snapshot.hasError) {
      return Text('Error initializing Firebase');
    } else if (snapshot.connectionState ==
        ConnectionState.done) {
      return LoginForm(focusNode: _uidFocusNode);
    }
    return CircularProgressIndicator(
      valueColor: AlwaysStoppedAnimation<Color>(
        CustomColors.firebaseOrange,
      ),
    );
  },

Y demas operaciones de un crud.
A comparacion de hacer una peticion http get por ejemplo.
Como esto:
    Future loadProducts() async {
//_baseUrl tiene la url respectiva de firebase
    final url = Uri.https(_baseUrl, 'products.json');
    final resp = await http.get(url);
    //Convertir en mapa de productos
    final Map<String, dynamic> productsMap = json.decode(resp.body);

    //Barrer cada llave que venga
    //Key es la llave del valor, en este caso ABC123, value lo que tiene dentro (nom url....)
    productsMap.forEach((key, value){
      //Aqui mediante el metodo "Product.fromMap(value)" crea un objeto tipo Product con sus campos llenos
      final tempProduct = Product.fromMap(value);
      //Agrego a una la lista
      this.products.add(tempProduct);
    });

  }

Y usar un modelo de Producto como lo pongo en el ejemplo.
Mi pregunta es: ¿Cual es la diferencia?. ¿Que es mejor?. Si es que ambas van a Firebase.
Agradezco sus respuestas. Gracias.

A: Ante todo conviene saber que Firebase dispone de dos tipos de base de datos: Firestore y Realtime Database.
En el caso de Firestore la documentación es bastante clara:

Si bien la forma más fácil de usar Firestore es usar una de las
bibliotecas cliente nativas, hay algunas situaciones en las que es
útil llamar directamente a la API de REST.
La API de REST puede ser útil en los siguientes casos prácticos:

*

*Para acceder a Firestore desde un entorno con recursos restringidos, como un dispositivo de la Internet de las cosas (IoT),
caso en el que no es posible ejecutar una biblioteca cliente completa

*Para automatizar la administración de la base de datos o recuperar metadatos detallados de la base de datos

Si estás usando un lenguaje compatible con gRPC, te recomendamos
usar la API de RPC en lugar de la de REST.

En el caso de Realtime Database, aunque la documentación no es tan explícita cuando habla de su API REST, sí lo es en la definición misma de esta base de datos, la cual, como su nombre lo indica, está pensada para sincronización en tiempo real:

Almacena y sincroniza datos con nuestra base de datos NoSQL alojada en
la nube. Los datos se sincronizan con todos los clientes en tiempo
real y se mantienen disponibles cuando la app no tiene conexión.
Firebase Realtime Database es una base de datos alojada en la nube.
Los datos se almacenan en formato JSON y se sincronizan en tiempo real
con cada cliente conectado. Cuando compilas apps multiplataforma con
nuestros SDK de plataformas de Apple, Android y JavaScript, todos tus
clientes comparten una instancia de Realtime Database y reciben
actualizaciones automáticamente con los datos más recientes.

Lo dicho para Realtime Database en cuanto a la sincronización, vale también para Firestore. Desde el SDK de Firebase esto se haría de forma transparente y sin mayor esfuerzo, en cambio, si quieres hacerlo mediante el servicio REST, tendrás que programar código que solicite los datos constantemente.
En resumen, el servicio REST sólo tiene ventaja de ser usado en situaciones como las expuestas al principio. Así que, allí donde puedas usar el SDK, no lo dudes ni un segundo. Con pocas líneas de código, tu App se benificiará de todas las bondades de Firebase sin necesidad de nada más.

muvi Cinemas to bring first Dolby Cinema in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's first home-grown cinema brand will deploy Dolby Cinema in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, KSA. The first Dolby Cinema screen will open by end of July 2020 at the U-Walk Boulevard, Arabian Centres in Riyadh.
Dolby Cinema offers guests the complete Dolby movie experience. It is designed to consider all of the details – from the ultravivid picture of Dolby Vision, to immersive sound of Dolby Atmos, to comfortable seating.
Dolby Vision unlocks ultravivid colors beyond your imagination and reveals the subtle details of every scene. The result is a dramatically different viewing experience with brighter bright and darker darks, making viewers feel like they are inside the movie's world.
With Dolby Atmos, guests experience movies in a whole new way with immersive sound that moves around you – even overhead and behind you – just like it does in real life. The clarity and precision of Dolby Atmos create a stunning, textured soundscape that adds layers of depth to each scene.
With Dolby's inspired design, the Dolby Cinema in Saudi Arabia will provide guests with the ideal cinema environment from the theatre entrance to the end of the movie story.
There are 251 Dolby Cinema screens locations globally, with an additional 200 Dolby Cinema screens committed, and over 300 movie titles have been released or announced in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Ten of the top ten global box office films in 2019 were available in Dolby Cinema.
Sultan Alhokair, CEO of muvi Cinemas said " we are very excited to be opening Dolby Cinema and bringing the most powerful image and sound technology to Saudi Arabia. Dolby Cinema will provide a different experience for Saudi cinemagoers and will be the first of 3 screens to be added to our extending portfolio of offerings."
