Q: What is the point of using a temporary realloc variable, if the program will exit? Many people recommend doing the following to reallocate memory:
int *temp=realloc(previousVar,newSize);
if(temp==NULL){
 printf("error\n");
 exit(-1);
}
previousVar=temp;

I understand that, if no new variable was created, the previous pointer would be lost, as NULL would be assigned to it. But what's the point on having all this trouble, if the program will exit in case of failure anyways?
Here's a stack overflow, where the top answer has what I'm referring to:
Proper usage of realloc()

A: In the example that you provided it really does not matter if you assign the return value to a temporary or not. In the linked answer, the author frees the original buffer, but one could argue that it is not necessary since the process will exit anyway.
However, consider the following example:

typedef struct
{
    int *values;
    size_t capacity;
    size_t size;
} MyBuffer;

bool append(MyBuffer *buffer, int value)
{
    if (buffer->size == buffer->capacity)
    {
        // No more space, double the buffer.
        size_t new_capacity = buffer->capacity * 2;
        int *temp = realloc(buffer->values, new_capacity);
        if (temp == NULL)
        {
            return false;
        }

        buffer->values = temp;
        buffer->capacity = new_capacity;
    }

    buffer->values[buffer->size] = value;
    buffer->size++;
    return true;
}

The function append tries to add a new value to an already allocated buffer. If the buffer is not large enough, it tries to use realloc to obtain a larger buffer. If realloc fails the function returns false.
If we change the realloc call to set directly buffer->values we will leak memory in case of failure:
        buffer->values = realloc(buffer->values, new_capacity);
        if (buffer->values == NULL)
        {
            // Here the original `buffer->values` is lost and we can never access it again.
            return false;
        }

realloc does not free the original buffer, so in case of failure we no longer have access to it. This is a problem: in the best case scenario it is a memory leak, in the worst case we may have lost some data that we still needed (on top of the memory leak).
So this depends on how you handle realloc failures. If you log an error and exit immediately you don't need to use another variable to store the result. If you report the error up the call chain, or there is some cleanup that you want to do you have to do this. If you take the first approach you need to be careful if you refactor that piece of code to return an error instead of exiting, so there is some merit to always assigning the result to another variable.

Oakland, TN set in Fayette County, is one of the fastest growing communities in Tennessee, and is a 20 minute drive from the Cordova area. Oakland has developed around Hwy 64, just east of Memphis, and has a great, family oriented community. There are farms all around Oakland being quickly developed into quality neighborhoods, constantly patrolled by police to insure the lowest crime rate in a three county area. Oakland is said to have a small town educational feel, with strong parent involvement. Because of the lower cost of living, EPM can offer large homes with large lots at lower rents. These homes go quickly! Very peaceful, and quiet, Oakland sports low rates of traffic on her city streets. One tenant of ours moved all the way from the state of Alaska to be within Oakland City limits. If small town living with easy access to cosmopolitan suburbia is for you, then Oakland is a great place to settle!

Teen quiz app Wishbone hacked, users' emails and phone numbers exposed
Check your kid's phone for this app, ASAP: Wishbone. This popular quiz app for kids, tweens and teens has been hacked, according to a report from Motherboard out this morning. The hack involved 2.2 million email addresses, as well as 287,000 phone numbers, many of which are from kids under the age of 18.
The app is operated by the incubator Science, and is one of the more popular social networking applications in the U.S., currently ranking No. 14 in that category on iTunes.
Users have been alerted to the hack by way of an email from the company, which explains that it became aware of the breach on March 14, 2017.
Per the email, hackers appear to have accessed a private API to pull information on Wishbone users. This included usernames, personal names, emails and phone numbers. Some users also opted to provide their date of birth to Wishbone, and, if they did, this information was also included. Wishbone says no passwords or financial information was part of the breach, however.
Users were also alerted via an in-app notification.
The message says that Wishbone is initiating "precautionary measures" as a part of the breach. But Motherboard received confirmation that the vulnerability has now been fixed.
Unfortunately, the data is already out there in the wild, and consists mainly of kids' personal information. The app's core demographic is very young users — many who don't even yet have iPhones, but play with the app on their iPod touch. Thankfully, this limited the amount of phone numbers included in the data breach.
The app, which was created by Science co-founder Michael Jones, previously CEO of MySpace, is a time-waster of sorts. It lets users vote on user-generated polls accompanied by pictures, like which celeb is cuter, or "would you rather…?"-style questions. It's sort of a modern-day, digital version of teen magazines, as it presents an angle on pop culture and offers visibility into what trends are popular among fellow young users.
In its statement to Wishbone users, Science offered the following apology:
We value your privacy and deeply regret that this incident occurred. Maintaining the integrity of your personal information is extremely important to us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this incident may have caused you. We are continuing to investigate this matter and have taken and will continue to take appropriate action to prevent future similar incidents. Please be assured that we will keep you informed of any developments in the investigation that may be of importance to you.

The 19" wheels look absolutely awesome, however there are significant downside compared to 18" including: higher tire price, more frequent tire replacement, rougher ride, and lower range.
It would be great if there was an 18" wheel that looked as good as the 19". The current 18" wheel is not very appealing.
The omission of a center console binnacle display, located directly behind the steering wheel, was clearly a deliberate design choice, however the binnacle display is very nice to have and many people will want one.

'Dark money' groups back U.S. House candidate in packed primary
by Michael Gerstein
May 14, 2020 Updated May 14, 2020
Teresa Leger Fernandez's campaign has poured money into the 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary race to run television and digital ads. In addition, two PACs have spent more than $300,000 on advertising in support of the Santa Fe attorney.
Candidates in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic Party primary claim so-called dark money has entered the race after reports two groups together spent more than $300,000 on advertising in support of Teresa Leger Fernandez.
Perise Practical Inc. and Avacy Initiatives Inc. spent the money in support of Leger Fernandez, Politico Pro reported Thursday.
Federal Election Commission records and data from the ad tracking firm Advertising Analytics show Avacy Initiatives Inc. spent $250,750 on ads in support of Leger Fernandez. Perise Practical Inc. spent $50,000. The groups' FEC disclosure documents both list their post office boxes in Arlington, Va., and both were signed by the same individual, David Brett Krone
Dark money, or money spent by groups that do not disclose their donors, is common in politics. But many progressives have decried the influx of untraceable money because it's often impossible to determine the individuals, groups or interests behind such spending.
In a written statement, Emma Caccamo, Leger Fernandez's campaign manager, said: "We're proud to be running a New Mexico powered campaign, with contributions from all 16 counties in the district and no corporate PAC money. … We don't know anything about any other groups and saw their ads when everybody else did."
Leger Fernandez has been endorsed by a variety of groups, including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and progressive EMILY's List. On Thursday, she was endorsed by U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland, an Albuquerque Democrat who represents the 1st Congressional District.
But three of her opponents in the seven-person Democratic primary race were quick to pounce on ad spending from groups that do not disclose their donors.
Former New Mexico Deputy Secretary of State John Blair's campaign issued a statement denouncing the spending.
"Secret contributions from shady sources are simply unacceptable," Blair said. "Dark money has corrupted our entire political system, and it's the reason we haven't been able to take on gun manufacturers, rein in pharmaceutical companies or pass a Green New Deal. Teresa must live up to the values of our party and demand those ads come down immediately."
Michelle Barliant, a campaign staffer for candidate Valerie Plame, said in a telephone interview, "We stand with John that dark money doesn't have any place in this race."
Although Plame has raised the most money in the crowded Democratic primary, Barliant said no groups with undisclosed donors have spent money to support the former CIA agent.
Another candidate, Santa Fe-area District Attorney Marco Serna, also decried the spending and said he will be taking a "dark money out of politics pledge" he hopes every candidate, including Leger Fernandez, will sign.
Other Democratic primary candidates in the race include Sandoval County Treasurer Laura Montoya of Rio Rancho, first-term state Rep. Joseph Sanchez of Alcalde and Taos environmental attorney Kyle Tisdel.
In an interview with The New Mexican, Serna said Leger Fernandez claimed during a KOAT-TV/Albuquerque Journal candidate forum airing Sunday the only out-of-state groups she knows that have spent money in her campaign were EMILY's List and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' political action committee.
"I find it hard to believe that her campaign was not aware of the ads that have been running both on TV and on social media," Serna said. "It's disingenuous, and I echo Blair's call to ask these PACs to stop running ads in New Mexico because it's the right thing to do and here in New Mexico this isn't how we run campaigns."
The Leger Fernandez and Plame campaigns have poured money into the primary race to run television and digital ads. Blair and Serna also have spent on television ads to a lesser degree.
In December, The New Mexican reported pro-Donald Trump forces had already spent thousands in TV or digital ads either attacking U.S. Rep. Xochitl Torres Small or backing the president.
Torres Small is running for reelection in New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District in the southern part of the state. The race against the survivor of the Republican primary likely will be one of the most competitive U.S. House contests in the country, political experts have said. Torres Small narrowly won the seat in a district that turned out heavily for Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Although some candidates pointed out the groups' spending in support of Leger Fernandez, the 3rd Congressional District campaigns have stayed largely positive, said longtime Albuquerque-based pollster Brian Sanderoff.
That sets it apart from the race in the 2nd Congressional District, where the Yvette Harrell-Claire Chase battle has been increasingly bitter.
"The mood of the two races … are night and day," Sanderoff said.
Four Republicans are running for the seat in the 3rd Congressional District GOP primary: Former Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya, Santa Fe engineer Alexis Johnson, Navajo Nation member Karen Bedonie and Angela Gale Morales of Rio Rancho, who is a write-in candidate.

Former CIA chief: 'Hacking foreign political parties? That's what we do'
Hayden slammed the Kremlin's alleged attempt to influence the US election.
By Jason Murdock
CIA Director Michael Hayden listens to questioning during a House Intelligence Committee Win McNamee/Getty Images
Former US intelligence chief Michael Hayden, who has previously held top positions at the NSA and CIA, has admitted that US spy agencies – like their Russian counterparts – have previously hacked foreign political parties in past operations.
Speaking at an interview hosted by The Heritage Foundation this week (18 October), Hayden argued the main difference between the US and Russian intelligence groups is that the Kremlin has intentionally worked to "weaponise" stolen data to influence the political process.

"I have to admit my definition of what the Russians did [at the DNC] is, unfortunately, honourable state espionage," Hayden explained, adding: "A foreign intelligence service getting the internal emails of a major political party in a major foreign adversary? Game on. That's what we do."
He continued: "By the way, I would not want to be in an American court of law and be forced to deny that I never did anything like that as director of the NSA, because I could not." He was keen to stress, however, that the Russian hacking campaign "went beyond espionage."
The former intelligence chief, who was the director of the NSA between 1999 and 2005 and director of the CIA between 2006 and 2009, said the Russian government likely contracted its hacking to criminal gangs "as a way to create a little distance between the Russian state and the actual actors."
The US intelligence community recently released an official statement declaring that Russia's "senior-most officials" likely authorised recent hacks at groups including the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
"These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow — the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there," the statement read.
Yet the NSA has been implicated in the past in similar state espionage. In 2013, based on documents released by former agency analyst Edward Snowden, Der Spiegel revealed how the US had tapped phone conversations of German chancellor Angela Merkel and her closest advisers for over 10 years.
"They are doing it to mess with our heads"
Hayden, however, maintains the Russian attacks are vastly different to the NSA's type of tradecraft. "To take the internal emails and then begin to use them to influence the American election, that's quite a different matter," he said.
"That has now moved from an espionage activity to a covert – or not very covert – influence operation. I think they are doing it to mess with our heads, to erode confidence in our political processes.
"I think they are doing it because [Russian president Vladimir Putin] is convinced we do this to him all the time. We do not. We don't."
Hayden said the recent hacks should be analysed as a broader geo-political issue. "Do not drop this in the cyber problem box," he said. "Drop this in the Russia problem box. Do not treat this by its means, treat it by its actor. By the way, that Russia problem box – we're going to need a bigger box."
For its part, and as is to be expected of nation-state activity, the Kremlin has denied being involved in the cyberattacks against the US. In a recent interview, Vladimir Putin said: "Everyone is talking about who did it. But is it that important? The most important thing is what is inside this information. There's nothing there benefitting Russia."

MARIANNE: I'LL BEAT CANCER
MARIANNE Faithfull yesterday vowed to continue her career despite being told she has breast cancer.
The 60s icon said defiantly: "Of course I will be well again, if not better than ever."
Singer and actress Marianne, 59, was diagnosed on Tuesday while with friends in Paris.
Doctors say the disease is in its "earliest stages" and she is expected to make a full recovery.
She has postponed a world tour - due to start next month - until next year, saying: "I have absolute confidence in my fantastic medical team."
The former girlfriend of Mick Jagger sought help after discovering a lump on her breast.
A close friend said: "She acted very quickly and doctors believe it hasn't spread. She is in a fighting mood and will not let this beat her." Her plight echoes that of Kylie Minogue, who is battling back to health after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
Marianne, who has a home in Ireland, married artist John Dunbar in 1965 and gave birth to their son Nicholas the same year.
Their relationship faltered and she later hit the headlines by dating Jagger, who helped write her first hit single As Tears Go By.
She entered folklore following a myth involving a Mars bar when she was found naked under a rug during a drug bust at a Stones party in 1967.
In her autobiography, she admits she was spaced out during most of her time with Jagger. She also claims she was really in love with Mick's bandmate Keith Richards.
She and Jagger split in 1970 and she lived on the streets while addicted to heroin before making two acclaimed albums - Broken English and Vagabond Ways.
She has also starred on stage and in movies - including the erotic 1968 film Girl On A Motorcycle.

Home/Vegas News/Health/Lifting DC's Strict Indoor Mask Mandate Triggers Mix of Confusion, Anxiety and Relief
Lifting DC's Strict Indoor Mask Mandate Triggers Mix of Confusion, Anxiety and Relief
A mile northeast of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., along what's known as the H Street corridor, about half the people crowding the sidewalks are wearing masks. Perhaps it's because they know that when they step into any business or establishment here, they will have to put one on anyway. The capital, after all, is one of the few remaining cities or states nationwide that mandate masks for public indoor spaces — at least it has, until today.
"We have a bunch of rule followers," said Claire Bengur, the owner of Atlas Salon, which has been in the neighborhood since 2018. "I am so thankful that my salon is in D.C." She's been glad to have a mask requirement, she said, because it's impossible to do clients' hair without standing close to them.
Bengur is unsure how to feel about Mayor Muriel Bowser's decision to roll back the mandate. As the covid-19 pandemic has worn on, many Washingtonians have come to view masking as something between a habit and a security blanket. Even when the rule was lifted for about two months starting in May, many people continued to use masks in places like grocery stores. While face coverings will still be required in select spaces, such as public transit and schools, the District of Columbia will no longer require them in private businesses like Atlas Salon. And that has triggered mixed feelings.

Bengur had been debating whether to continue to ask clients to wear masks because the district gives businesses that option. But at the same time, "there is a certain level of excitement … like I don't want to wear masks forever." She ultimately decided to let clients choose for themselves. Bengur and her staff feel more at ease than they did earlier in the pandemic because her salon requires proof of vaccination.
A block away at the H Street Northeast location of Solidcore, a boutique fitness chain that started in the district, CEO Bryan Myers had an it's-about-time take. "This will be game-changing for our clients' comfort while working out and the health of our industry," he said.

On the whole, Washington has been especially cautious when it comes to covid, which has helped the city avoid the worst of the pandemic. Now, the mayor is moving away from ordering protective measures and instead offering recommendations based on vaccination status.
This change can partly be explained by adjustments in the district health department's goal, which no longer is to reach zero cases. Viewing covid as more of an "endemic" disease — one regularly found in particular populations — Bowser explained her decision this way: "This does not mean that everyone needs to stop wearing their masks. But it does mean that we are shifting the government's response to providing you risk-based information." While she's reserved the right to reinstate the mandate, Bowser has doubled down on her decision. "Quite frankly, I don't expect many D.C. residents will change their current behavior," she said Friday during an interview on a local radio show.
The shift has some residents feeling perplexed, if not nervous, especially given the timing.
Children ages 5 to 11 just became eligible for vaccination, so they are not fully immunized yet, and infections are likely to climb with the holidays coming. Cases have already increased in half the states. That neighboring Montgomery County reinstated its mask mandate over the weekend leaves some people all the more baffled. A majority of district council members are already pushing the mayor to reconsider. Meanwhile, the White House, just steps from the mayor's office, is not lifting its mask requirement, noting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends one given the substantial level of community transmission.
"I'm a little bit iffy about the whole thing," said Sandra Basanti, co-owner of Pie Shop, which offers fresh pies and live music on H Street.
Basanti has two young children who are not yet fully vaccinated. She's unsure whether she'll require customers to wear masks but expects to — at least at first. She's hesitant because staffers received pushback when Pie Shop became one of the first venues in town to impose a vaccine requirement. She would like to see Washington follow New York City's example and require proof of vaccination to enter public spaces such as shopping centers, sports arenas and theaters.

"We were just kind of waiting for the city to make that call for us so that we wouldn't have to fight people on it, and they never did," said Basanti. "I just don't want to make the staff feel like they now also have to be the mask police again."
"Being the mask police sucks," she added.
The owner of the dive bar across the street agrees. "I'm very exhausted with arguing with people about masks and all the different things," said Tony Tomelden of the Pug, which will not require patrons to wear masks but will insist that they be vaccinated. "Once a week, at least, there's some kind of argument with some customer."
Tomelden worries that talk of endemic covid means leaders are moving on without addressing all the pandemic-induced needs of small businesses beyond masking. "I'm so tired of begging for a break on bills and for grants and that kind of thing, but we're still not fully recovered," he said.
Like residents, public health experts are not in agreement on whether the district is acting prematurely.
"It makes sense," Dr. Lynn Goldman, dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, said of the mayor's decision. She reasoned that, thanks to vaccination, the district has few covid hospitalizations and deaths. "At the same time … we don't really know how it's going to go."

Meanwhile, Dr. David Dowdy, an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said he generally recommends against easing restrictions at a time like this. "My expectation is that we're likely to see something of an increase in cases over the winter," he said, "and then this probably is going to become after that point in time something of an endemic disease."
"We've come this far. It probably is not too difficult to keep our guard up for a couple more months," he added. "But the flip side of that is we've been doing this for a really long time and people are very tired."
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, sees Washington's experience as emblematic of what can happen when leaders do not clearly explain their response to covid or why mask mandates are imposed or withdrawn.
Part of the challenge, Osterholm said, is that the explanations are unsatisfying. "We do not understand why surges start or stop," he said. "Why they start and stop surely can't be tied to human mitigation strategies. What can be tied to those is how big those surges get."

Italy's Eni to buy 20% stake in world's largest offshore wind farm
The ENI SpA logo as seen on the company's headquarters in Rome, Italy.Alessia Pierdomenico | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesItalian energy firm Eni is taking a 20% stake in what is set to be the world's largest offshore wind farm.The energy firms Equinor and SSE are both selling 10% stakes in the first two phases of the project, which is situated off the U.K. coast.Eni will now take a share of Dogger Bank A & B, which will have a combined capacity of 2.4 gigawatts when fully operational. Upon completion of the deal, Equinor and SSE's share in Dogger Bank A & B will still amount to 40% each.In an announcement at the end of last week, Equinor said it would sell its equity interest in the scheme for around £202.5 million (approximately $269.39 million).In its own release, SSE said its stake would be sold for the same amount, "subject to adjustments for interest on closing." The deal is expected to close next year, subject to relevant approvals.At the end of November, it was announced that a deal to finance Dogger Bank A & B had been completed. In a statement at the time, SSE said funding for the first two phases of the project, which will be located in waters off the northeast coast of England, represented "the largest ever offshore wind project financing anywhere in the world."Investment for Dogger Bank A and B will amount to approximately £6 billion (around $8 billion), it added.The third phase of the project, Dogger Bank C, is being developed to a different schedule, with a financial close expected toward the end of 2021. Both Equinor and SSE have a 50% share in Dogger Bank C.The scale of the overall scheme, which is due to be finished in 2026, is considerable. Equinor and SSE have both described it as the "world's biggest offshore wind farm."Phases A and B will use GE's 13 megawatt Haliade-X turbine, while the wind farm as a whole will have the ability to power millions of homes in the U.K. annually. Onshore construction works for the project started earlier this year.SSE Renewables is heading up construction of the facility, while its operations are to be led by Equinor.

Warning! Breeders Latest Tactics
It appears that now breeders are going so far as to not just sell unweaned babies, which I'm told is now illegal, but selling so-called fertile parrot eggs, and at bundle prices. BEWARE: To the untrained eye who would know if the eggs are even fertile. If they are, then you'd have to keep them at a steady temperature and humidity and turn constantly. If they were to hatch you'd have to wear magnifying glasses to find their tiny beaks to feed even one drop an hour 24/7. That's just the beginning! NEED I SAY MORE?!? Do not fall for the traps of eggs and unweaned baby birds! It's the breeders' ways of offloading unweaned babies where you take the risk of losing your money and the baby should something go wrong, and nothing more need be said regarding the eggs!
First Flight Aviary
Even when John Bradford was a young boy in elementary school, he daydreamed about birds. Many times while supposedly studying, he was drawing pictures of wild birds. This love of birds carried over to his work here at The Tropics.
In May of 1997, without a penny to open a construction account, we decided it was time to stop waiting for donations to pour in, and begin to build an aviary for our birds. With nothing but a garden tiller and shovel, John Bradford set out to do just that. He dug the footer, measuring 24′ x 40′ using those tools, and by the time we needed money to purchase block for the foundation we had $2,000 in our construction account. By the time that money was used up, two building supply companies extended us $1,000 each, credit. To date, $1,500 has been charged to those accounts. Then another $1,000 donation came in and finally a $1,700 was received from the Raleigh-Durham Caged Bird Society, in Raleigh, NC. By the time that money was gone, all of the materials had been purchased.
This aviary, now complete, measures 24'x40'x16′, and is fully enclosed. The interior walls measure 10′ tall, with a 16′ peak ceiling. There are 6 skylights, 15 windows, and one door. The aviary is heated for winter, and contains exhaust and window fans for the summer.
Our second aviary was complete by the end of 1999, It measures 20'x36'x12′ and houses the small to medium birds. It also contains heat for winter and ventilation for summer. The birds will be released into immediate flight once they are placed out there. This will allow us significant room in the original aviary to spread out the large birds, socialize them, and then release them into full flight.
The Tropics extends its knowledge of parrots to the public, and completes the cycle of rescue, rehabilitation, permanent housing, and education that are so sorely needed.
Won't you become apart of this one-of-a-kind venture? If you would like further information on how you can help, please contact Mary Bradford at The Tropics Bird Refuge. No person is insignificant, and no donation too small. Thank you.

Drop foot (also known as dropped foot, foot drop or floppy foot) refers to a weakening of those muscles that allow the ankle and toes to flex, causing difficulty in moving the ankle and toes upwards (dorsiflexion). This causes the individual to drag their toes while walking and to compensate by bending the knee and hip to lift the foot higher than usual, to prevent it catching on the ground during swing phase.
While drop foot is a neuromuscular disorder that affects the nerves and muscles, it is not actually a disease in itself, but rather a symptom of some other medical problem.
If drop foot is caused by an injury or nerve damage, recovery is often possible. However, if it's caused by permanent nerve damage or a progressive neurological condition, such as multiple sclerosis, it will be a lifelong symptom to manage.
The immediate risk factors involve tripping and falling. Clearly, this is to be avoided particularly in the older population that has a higher risk of further injury, such as fractures.
Medium- to long-term risks of leaving drop foot untreated are problems related to the skeletal system. They involve pain in the forefoot, collapse of the midfoot, hip and knee alignment problems and postural problems, which can cause back pain.
Drop foot can lead to many other orthopaedic problems, if left untreated. These can include: metatarsalgia; flat foot; tightness in the calf and Achilles tendon; and hyper extension of the knee.
It will also make walking more difficult. Often patients complain of having to constantly look at the floor while walking, which is tiring. This can lead to postural problems such as a Kyphotic Posture.
Assessment for drop foot requires a full biomechanical assessment. This includes: assessing joint ranges of movement; joint stability; muscle strength; standing posture and alignment; and a gait/walking assessment.
There are many different types of orthoses that can be used to treat drop foot. Some are very simple and purely deal with the drop foot. These can include some elasticated supports and the 'foot-up' device.
Some are more advanced, and will require a bespoke or made-to-measure device. These tend to involve an ankle foot orthoses (AFO), of which there are many different types depending on the exact biomechanical requirement. Different materials, such as plastic and carbon fibre offer different solutions. The basic aim of each design will be to control the foot drop during the swing phase part of the gait cycle and ensure that any initial contact with the ground occurs with heel contact. The bespoke options will also be designed to control the medial/lateral stability of the ankle, and ensure that the lower leg is prepositioned during stance phase to allow as normal a gait pattern as possible.
Also, in some cases where the cause of the rrop foot is an upper motor neurone problem, Functional Electronic Stimulation (FES) may be recommended.
Choosing the correct orthosis is essential. Although some devices appear to resolve the short-term risk factors, such as tripping, they do not prevent the longer-term risks of orthopaedic damage.
At LOC, we will make sure you understand what you orthosis will and won't do, and ensure that you receive the most appropriate orthosis for your particular condition.


If you are like most Americans you dream about the day when you can retire. Wouldn't it be nice if you could retire in 5, 10, or even 15 years earlier than expected? Whether you are working towards supplementing your 9 to 5 income or would like a little something extra to help you reach financial independence sooner than expected, rental properties can take you one step closer toward financial freedom.
Before you begin purchasing rental properties to achieve financial independence, you need to understand what it means. Financial independence gives you the opportunity to make life decisions without worrying about any financial implications. You can live your life the way you want because you have properly planned and prepared.
Reaching financial independence is great at any age. Whether you're trying to create financial stability earlier in life or working toward a secure retirement, financial independence can give you peace of mind.
Financial independence is not something that will happen overnight. It will take an immense amount of work and preparation to achieve true financial freedom. Even after you reach financial independence, you will need to continue to work on your finances to maintain the lifestyle you've created.
What is your financial number?
Now that you understand what financial independence is, how do you determine how much you will need in order to be financially free? You will first need to decide how much you need to either maintain your current lifestyle or live a life of luxury.
The best way to accomplish this is to sit down and list all of your expenses and financial responsibilities. Your financial independence number will replace your current income. If you simply want to maintain your lifestyle you will need to replace your pre-taxed income. If you would like to amplify your lifestyle, you will need to add an additional amount.
Let's say you currently make $60,000 a year, but have determined you will need an extra $12,000 a year to live the life you desire. This means you will need a cash flow of $6,000 a month to reach your desired annual pre-tax income of $72,000.
How many rental properties will you need to reach this number?
Once you have defined the amount of money you will need every month in order to reach financial independence, you can start devising a plan for reaching your goal. You will now need to identify how many rental properties you need in order to reach your financial independence number.
Start by evaluating your first potential rental property to figure out your cash flow. In order to calculate your cash flow, you will need to subtract your total expenses from your total income. Your rental properties may yield different cash flow amounts, but this will give you a starting point for deciding how many properties you should try to acquire.
Do your research to discover the best rate for your rental property. Let's say you can rent your property for $150 per night. This means your potential monthly income would be $4,500, assuming you rent your property for 30 days out of the month.
Let's say your expenses equal $4,000 a month. This means that you will earn $500/month in revenue from your rental property ($4,500 total income-$4,000 expenses=$500). If you were to continue to purchase similar rental properties, you would need 12 properties in order to reach your financial independence number.
Your calculations may be more complex and require a more detailed outline. Property managers such as TurnKey can provide revenue projections for your property to ensure you're maximizing occupancy levels.
Now that you have all of the pieces you need to finish your financial independence puzzle, you need to develop a plan to achieve your goal. You may first want to create a timeline or date for reaching financial freedom. If we use the example above, you will need to purchase 12 properties with a cash flow of $500 per month to reach your financial independence number of $72,000 a year.
Once you have purchased your first rental property, you can use your additional rental income to put toward you next property. By using the amount of money you have saved from your job and your new passive income, you can put together a timeline for when you can feasibility purchase more properties.
Everyone has a different financial situation. Determine the best timeline that will meet your needs.
Creating a plan to reach financial independence may be idealistic. That's why it's important to have your goals and milestones set in place so you have something to shoot for. However, sometimes life happens and things come up. Your financial independence strategy may not always go according to plan.
Here are a few ways you can stay focused and keep your eye on the prize no matter where life takes you.
Build relationships with experts and industry leaders. Find people in the real estate community that can be great mentors or provide practical advice. By spending time building relationships with industry experts, you can be sure to stay on top of the housing market. When selecting a realtor, find one that specializes in vacation rental properties like beach houses or ski homes.
Always be open to rental properties. You never know when you are going to have an opportunity to purchase a new real property. Try to be open to opportunities that come your way. If it doesn't seem financially possible to purchase a property when it comes up, do some research and see if there are alternative ways to make it happen, like purchasing it with a friend or family member.
Constantly look for ways to cut expenses and improve property earnings. Continuously look for ways you can improve your property, make it more marketable, or reduce expenses. By increasing profits and decreasing expenses, you can move one step closer to your goal of financial independence.
As you can see, rental properties can help you reach financial independence. Achieving retirement earlier than expected is more realistic than you think. Whether you are working towards supplementing your current income or would like an extra financial boost to help you reach financial independence, rental properties are a great solution for accomplishing your goals.

Noise Pop 2018: A Bay Area indie culture celebration
Written by Jacqueline Moore //
February 19th-25th, 2018 //
While it seems as if the rest of the world slept soundly over the holidays, putting their work aside to relax and unwind, the people at Noise Pop stayed wide awake, producing the most eclectic and unique celebration of Bay Area independent culture.
Starting next week, the 26th edition of Noise Pop invades all corners of the Bay (including the addition of shows in surrounding cities like San Jose, Santa Cruz and Sacramento this year) to honor everything we love about SF, Oakland and the greater Northern California region.
As a festival, Noise Pop is one in which you can jump from show to show while seeing plenty of big-name acts — tUnE-yArDs, Ty Dolla $ign and Built to Spill to name a few this year — on one night, then catch some of today's most emerging artists, whether it's Japanese Breakfast, Sudan Archives, Mount Eerie or another.
Throughout the week, make sure to explore everything that Noise Pop has to offer. Between film screenings, art galleries, happy hours and concerts happening all over SF and the East Bay, you'll find that Noise Pop knows how to transform the area into your own playground.
Last year for its 25th anniversary, Noise Pop saw its largest attendance numbers, with nearly every show reaching capacity. In fact, more than 28,000 people came together for a week of events to commemorate what makes the Bay Area so damn special.
Names on the 2018 lineup are strong and not to be slept on. Between local shining star Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, well-known acts such as Bahamas and Geographer, besties Jay Som and Japanese Breakfast, and former Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam, the Noise Pop bill (which was announced in three phases) is stacked to the brim, making it tough to choose who to see each night.
However, there are only two ways to get in on the action: buy a badge and gain access to every show, or individually buy tickets to the ones that you'd like to attend.
The choice is yours, friend.

Finance ·Fortune 500
New Poll Shows Millennials Prefer Companies That Give to Charity
BYCaroline Preston
August 11, 2016, 12:00 PM UTC
Millennials are more likely than Gen X'ers and Baby Boomers to say it matters if American businesses give back to society, according to a new poll conducted by Morning Consult for Fortune.
The survey of more than 2,000 individuals found that nearly two-thirds of people between the ages of 18 and 34 were at least somewhat more likely to want to work for a company that gave to charity than one did that not. That compares with 59% of those between 35 and 44 years old, and 47% of people between 45 and 64 years old. Young people were also more inclined than their elders to say they would buy products from a company that contributes to charity, or to recommend the business to a friend.
Corporate America is trying to capitalize on young people's interest in giving back. Goldman Sachs, where 66% of employees were born after 1979, started a competition earlier this year that enables young analysts to vie for grants to nonprofits of their choice. Workers also volunteer through the company's 10,000 Small Businesses program, providing coaching to entrepreneurs. Said Dina Powell, leader of the bank's philanthropy initiatives: "This is a generation that's very interested in making a positive impact."
Top executives at other Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft and PNC Financial Services, said they also see a benefit to giving younger workers the chance to get involved in volunteerism and philanthropy programs.
But giving lots of money to good causes doesn't always generate a warm glow beyond the corporation's walls. Some of the businesses atop Fortune's list of The Giving 20: The Most Generous Companies of the Fortune 500, which was based on data collected by The Chronicle of Philanthropy, were also those viewed least favorably by the public.
The No. 1 giver, pharmaceutical firm Gilead, scored a D on a brand index developed by Fortune-Morning Consult, among the lowest of any Fortune 500 company. The next biggest donors were Walmart (A-), Wells Fargo (B+), Goldman (C+), and Exxon Mobil (B).
That may be because companies that give the most are also most in need of burnishing their reputations, according to some philanthropy experts. And corporations need to be cautious when it comes to crowing too loudly about their good deeds. For example, Philip Morris, the tobacco company, faced criticism for spending more to publicize its charity than it did on charities themselves. A 2013 study, by professors at UC-Riverside School of Business Administration and the London Business School, went one step further. It found that corporations that promote their philanthropy and corporate social responsibility are actually more likely to act irresponsibly in the future, because they may feel moral license to worry less about potential wrongdoing.
Denise Lee Yohn, a brand consultant and author of the book What Great Brands Do, encourages companies to engage in authentic philanthropy that ties most directly to their areas of expertise. Too often, she says, businesses instead use charity as a way to divert attention from poor treatment of workers or weak management of environmental resources.
"It's as if giving back could make up for taking something away in the first place," she wrote in an article for Harvard Business Review. "Consumers aren't falling for the trick."

Super Mario Bros movie delayed until April 2023
The Super Mario Bros movie, which is set to star Chris Pratt and Charlie Day as Mario and Luigi, has now been delayed until April 2023
Uh oh. The Princess is in another castle. In other words, the new Super Mario Bros adventure movie has been delayed, according to an announcement by Shigeru Miyamoto on the official Nintendo America Twitter account.
Illumination, the studio known for kids movies like Sing, Despicable Me, and The Secret Life of Pets, is producing the animated movie, with Miyamoto co-producing. Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, who are known for developing the Batman spin-off series Teen Titans Go!, are directing the film. Matthew Fogel meanwhile, who is known for his work on family movies like The Lego Movie 2, is on board as a screenwriter.
The film also boasts a star-studded voice cast, with MCU star Chris Pratt as Mario, The Northman star Anya-Taylor Joy as Peach, and comedy movie stars Charlie Day, Seth Rogen, and Jack Black as Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Bowser, respectively. However, it looks like the movie, originally tipped for a winter 2022 release, may take slightly longer than planned.
Miyamoto made the announcement on the official Nintendo of America Twitter account on April 25.
The statement reads: "This is Miyamoto. After consulting with Chris-san, my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros. film, we decided to move the global release to spring 2023 – April 28 in Japan and April 7 in North America. My deepest apologies but I promise it will be well worth the wait."

The reasons for the delay are unclear. If you are wanting to watch another Mario-themed movie in the meantime, check out the live-action '90s movie on Amazon Prime Video, which you can subscribe to here (but be warned — the film is not very good).

Coachella Valley Unified school bus driver accused of touching students inappropriately, authorities say
Shane Newell
A 63-year-old Coachella Valley Unified School District school bus driver was arrested Friday on suspicion of inappropriately touching a student, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Jose Luis Moncada, of Desert Hot Springs, was arrested where he worked in the 87000 block of Avenue 57 in Thermal, the sheriff's department said. He was booked at the county jail on multiple charges involving lewd acts with a minor.
Sheriff's deputies were notified in October 2019 that a district employee allegedly touched a student inappropriately on several occasions. During their investigation, deputies discovered other students had similar allegations.
Sheriff's deputies also alleged Moncada inappropriately touched several students in 2010.
Moncada was in custody as of 2 p.m. Friday, according to jail records.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Investigator Herrera at 760-863-8460.

On May 11, 2016, President Obama signed into law the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) of 2016. It became effective immediately.
The DTSA — which amends the Economic Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 1831) — establishes a federal trade secrets law that can be enforced in federal court. Owners of trade secrets or confidential information used or intended to be used in interstate or foreign commerce can pursue a variety of civil remedies in federal court. Claims must be filed within three years from the time that the misappropriation was discovered or should have been discovered.
One of the most controversial of the new remedies is ex parte seizure. An aggrieved party can petition the court to order law enforcement officials to seize, ex parte, only under extraordinary circumstances, any property "necessary to prevent the propagation or dissemination of the trade secret." Other remedies include damages, injunctive relief (or reasonable royalty damages if an injunction is inequitable), and punitive damages of up to twice the amount of actual damages awarded. Trade secret misappropriation occurring outside the United States by a U.S. citizen or corporation is also covered by the new law.
The DTSA also includes complicated safe harbor provisions applicable to both federal and state law, permitting employees and other individuals to disclose the employer's trade secrets: (1) to a federal, state or local government to investigate a suspected violation of law; and (2) in a lawsuit filing under seal which may be in an employee-filed anti-retaliation lawsuit. The safe harbor provisions grant both criminal and civil immunity for such activity.
Employers should notify employees in any new or updated contract that is related to trade secrets or confidential information of their rights under the safe harbor provisions. This notice should be in writing. Employers who pursue a theft of trade secrets claim will not be able to recover attorneys' fees or exemplary damages against an employee to whom such notice was not provided. Businesses should also consider including the required notice in confidentiality agreements with independent contractors, vendors and other business associates. Employer disclosure of trade secrets preferably should be made to employees and contractors only on a need to know basis and only when suitable nondisclosure agreements are in place prior to any disclosure.
Given the increasing amount of trade secret theft, this new law provides a welcome new federal civil cause of action and substantial additional remedies over prior laws, even where the wrongful activity occurs outside the United States. Employers should provide written notice to employees and contractors of the safe harbor provisions in new and updated agreements. Employers who suspect that current or former employees, consultants or competitors have misappropriated trade secrets for use in other businesses or with foreign nationals should evaluate their potential claims under this new law.
For more information, contact James D. Ryndak, Jane C. Schlicht or your regular Hinshaw attorney.

ISIS Sustains Heavy Casualties Amid Syrian Army Counter-Assault at Deir Ezzor
The Syrian Arab Army's 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard – in coordination with the 137th Artillery Brigade of the 17th Reserve Division – launched a counter-assault against the militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) after the latter stormed the eastern barricades of the Deir Ezzor Military Airport on Friday morning.
Following the failed infiltration attempt by ISIS, the SAA's 104th and 137th Brigades carried out a powerful assault on the enemy combatants at the Siasiyeh Bridge and the Al-Haweeqa Quarter of Deir Ezzor City, killing 33 militants before they were able to seize control of the ISIS command-and-control center and their large cache of weapons stored inside of the building.
The Syrian Armed Forces did not stop there, they followed-up their success at Al-Haweeqa and the Siasiyeh Bridge with another assault at the eastern farms of Al-Muri'iyah, where they were able to take full control of the corn farms after engaging a large contingent from ISIS inside of this village near the Deir Ezzor Military Airport.
At Al-Jarfa – on the other side of the Deir Ezzor Military Airport – the Syrian Armed Forces added to their buffer-zone after pushing back the swarming ISIS combatants to the eastern flank of the village; this was followed by a series of airstrikes from the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF), who relentlessly bombarded the terrorist group over a dozen times on Friday.
The firefights did not stop there: the Syrian Armed Forces and the militants from ISIS exchanged gunfire at a number of areas inside the provincial capital of Deir Ezzor on Friday; this was the bloodiest day for ISIS in quite a while, as the terrorist organization lost over 80 militants during these firefights.
ALSO READ Israeli airliner forced to change its course due to raid on Syria: report
According to a military source inside the provincial capital of Deir Ezzor, ISIS and the Syrian Armed Forces also clashed at the Al-'Arfa, Al-Hamidiyah, Al-Kanamat, Al-Jubeileh, and the Al-Rashidiyah Quarters inside the city.

Theme Hotel is not just a simple browser game. Rather, it is an extensive simulation, which is a gift to every simulation loving fan. It is amazing how much attention to detail was used for each item and in what a complex way the entire online game has been built. In addition to a simple profit and loss accounting, you can see the opinions of your guests. The building menu offers you a variety of different construction options that are unlocked gradually after every win of a new quality star. Before you can greet the first guests, a front desk must be built on the construction area that is empty up to that point. Next, you can then build the first hotel rooms, which are available immediately for guests to move in. From a 2D perspective you construct a hotel building with 49 floors as well as hundreds of rooms, many discos, cafes, bars and a variety of service areas over time, taking into account your finances, of course. The game objective is to achieve five stars. The entire building must be maintained, of course. Broken pinball machines or washing machines must be repaired by your caretakers and the hallways need to be cleaned from dirt. For this purpose, the appropriate personnel must also be hired. If this point is neglected in the course of the free game, guests will stay away from your hotel, so that the revenue slumps soon and your hotel will be about to be closed sooner than you would like. At the lower edge of the playing field, you can see all the features that are important: The building and staff menu, your current financial situation as well as various ways to accelerate the time or reduce the map and zoom. If the money or the available building sites should become rare, a financial loan can be taken out in the menu. It is easy to play Theme Hotel as it is controlled entirely with the mouse. If you would like to find out information about a particular item, for example, a simple left click is sufficient. Every major building project should be well thought out, because a minus amount can quickly be generated due too extensively planned construction. Theme Hotel offers you a free building strategy game at its finest! Have Fun!
Each accommodation in a hotel costs money that has to be earned by a corresponding utilization. Within the industry, this is spoken of as a cost recovery. In the hotel industry, the term room night is used as an indicator. Each room requires a certain capacity, so that the costs of personnel, service facilities as well as other departments of a hotel business can be covered. In addition, with the room night utilization, comparisons to previous years can be drawn. Based on these experience values, hotel managers can establish business calculations for the future. For example, a hotel with 100 rooms for two nights can sell no more than 200 room nights.
Do you have few minutes on hand, and want to something fun, and do you also enjoy to play a fun online hotel game? If you are in the same mood as us today, then you probably would enjoy to play the free Theme Hotel game online right now.
