Twenty22Many - Olympia is no longer operating as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that advocates on behalf of veterans to bring awareness to PTSD, Veteran Suicide, Alternative Medicines, Holistic Therapies and Education. Twenty22Many - Olympia's 'Esprit de Corps' is the centerpiece to our approach in ending veteran suicides. We strongly believe a life worth living for a veteran is a life filled with purpose and love, we try to always come from a place of love.
Twenty22Many was born out of the Medical Marijuana Collective Garden and Safe Access Point called Rainier Xpress. Rainier Xpress was one of the most successful Cannabis Shops in the history of Washington States medical cannabis market. Rainier Xpress set the standard for safe and reliable access to medical cannabis.
After Patrick became aware of the 22 daily suicides reported from the VA in 2013 is life's mission would be set in a new direction. Patrick was able to witness at Rainier Xpress first hand exactly what Cannabis was able to do for countless veterans as part of there healing process. At the rate of 22 daily suicides it is vitally clear that Pills and Alcohol (all veterans know when exiting the military) are a bigger part of the problem than not.
Knowing that Cannabis has never in the history of the world taken a human life and seeing Veterans transforming into different humans going from VA issued pills to cannabis was all he needed to start collaborating with other local Veterans and patients of Rainier Xpress. It was time to start calling in Veteran patients and asking them one by one if they were ready to start doing something bigger then themselves and start our fight to end the veteran suicide epidemic.
Shortly after Patrick and a handful of veterans started meeting once a week at Rainier Xpress and local coffee shops. This is when Patrick and Randy teamed up and started what is now known as Twenty22Many-Olympia. The first mission Patrick brought to the table was getting PTSD added to Washington States List of Qualifying Conditions. This way all Veterans in the state could use cannabis freely without fear of losing military benefits.
Remarkably, within the first 6 months of our very first meeting we delivered the PTSD Bill to Sen. Hobbs that is now Law. Our first try at our first legislative session with our first Bill we were a success. Our PTSD Bill came out of the senate without one conflicting no vote. All because of the Veterans that got involved and provided our legislation with gut wrenching, true and heart felt testimony of how and why cannabis keeps Veterans alive and well.
To this day the only original Veterans from the first Twenty22Many meetings is Patrick and Randy. Twenty22Many continues to fight for veterans to this day with a different core of veterans. However, the mission stays the same. End Veteran Suicide, By All Means Necessary.
We strongly believe that Life for veterans is all about the man or woman standing to our right and/or to our left. We are losing veterans at the rate of 22 a day... On any scale that would be considered a failed system, of epic proportions. That system is as real as the air we breathe and it has a name, its called the VA.

Q: The function doesn't add anything to my bst tree class node{
public:
    int data;
    node *left;
    node *right;
};

class BFStree{
public:
    void insert(int key);
    void deleteNode(int key);
    void inorderTraversal(node *temp);
    void inorder();
    node *root;
    BFStree(){
        root = NULL;
    }
};

 void BFStree::insert(int key){
    node *temp = root;
        while(temp!=NULL){
            if(key>temp->data){
                temp = temp->right;
            }
            else if(key<temp->data){
                temp = temp->left;
            }
            else{
                cout << "NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SAME DATA" << temp->data << " " << key << endl;
            }
        }
        node *temp2 = new node;
        temp2->data = key;
        cout << key << " inserted" << endl;
        temp2->left = NULL;
        temp2->right = NULL;
        temp = temp2;
    }

int main(){
    BFStree t;
    t.insert(7);
    t.insert(3);
    t.insert(21);
}

I am trying to use the above function to insert data into the bst tree but it doesn't do anything, even the root is NULL
but when I use the following function, the job is accomplished. I don't understand what I have done differently in the two codes. I am new to programming so I am having such bad doubts. Please help me clear it.
void BFStree::insert(int key){
    node *temp = root;
    if(temp==NULL){
        temp = new node;
        temp->data = key;
        temp->left = NULL;
        temp->right = NULL;
        root = temp;
        return;
    }
    while(1){
        if(key>temp->data){
            if(temp->right==NULL){
                node *temp2 = new node;
                temp2->data = key;
                temp2->left = NULL;
                temp2->right = NULL;
                temp->right = temp2;
                break;
            }
            else{
                temp = temp->right;
            }
        }
        else if(key<temp->data){
            if(temp->left==NULL){
                node *temp2 = new node;
                temp2->data = key;
                temp2->left = NULL;
                temp2->right = NULL;
                temp->left = temp2;
                break;
            }
            else{
                temp = temp->left;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: The main problem in your first function is that you just iterate over the tree until you find a null, and after that you assign that null value to temp.
After that you create a new node and assign temp the reference of new node. But your temp node is not connected to the tree. And there is no connection between the temp node and its parent or root node of the tree.
Whereas in 2nd example :
if(temp->right==NULL){
            node *temp2 = new node;
            temp2->data = key;
            temp2->left = NULL;
            temp2->right = NULL;
            temp->right = temp2;
            break;
 }

This is the key, you store the reference of your newly created node in the right or left child of its parent node.

Trust and Security digest (April 2022)
This extract is taken from the April 2022 issue of The digest, GPD's newsletter. Sign up here.
State inputs to the Chair of the AHC
At the Ad-Hoc Committee on Cybercrime (AHC), April saw states provide inputs to the Chair on the three elements of the Cybercrime convention that will be discussed at the next meeting in May: General Provisions, criminal provisions and law enforcement and safeguards. The inputs vary in specificity, with many offering specific text and/or wording for definitions of key terms. This means that Russia's input (which is also on behalf of Belarus, Burundi, China, Nicaragua and Tajikistan) is no longer the only input on the table with text provisions. However, Russia's is one of the most detailed. As expected, it criminalises a wide range of offences including "the creation and use of digital information to mislead the user", and does not include adequate safeguards.
From a human rights perspective, as ever the devil is in the details. Many NGO inputs to the AHC so far have reiterated how important it is that the convention focus on crimes against computer systems, not content based offences. However, most of the state inputs (apart from the European Union) largely recommend that the convention should criminalise content based offences, although there are differences in opinion over whether the definition of such offences should be broad or narrow in scope. Some (US, UK, Australia) suggest this should be select crimes for which the scope, speed, and scale of the offence are substantially enhanced by the use of a computer (in keeping with the Budapest Convention). Others (Mexico, Brazil, Malaysia) suggest a broader scope; Mexico, for example, wants States Parties to "recognize as crimes for the purposes of this Convention, all criminal acts recognized by the existing International Law that are perpetrated by information technologies and electronic means."
There is general agreement that the scope should include the criminalisation of child sexual abuse material or "online child abuse offences", and many also support addressing offences against women and children, such as sex trafficking (e.g. UK).Most others reiterate the importance of human rights protections, with many specifying human rights instruments and relevant protections in their proposals for the chapter on "conditions and safeguards". Ideally, from a human rights perspective, human rights should be included as an objective of the proposed treaty and included in its general provisions and preamble as well as integrated into the convention's chapters. Yet there is no agreement over the inclusion of a specific section dedicated to human rights safeguards. This has, so far, been only briefly discussed, and is not listed for discussion under the agenda for the second substantive meeting at the end of May recently published by the Chair. This begs the question of when and how it will be discussed—and what the process for deliberations on the text more generally will look like.The inputs shared so far illustrate just how difficult it will be for countries to agree on any substantive areas, and also the huge risks for human rights that could arise from any agreed text and compromises reached.
Conclusion of OEWG stakeholder modalities debates
This April, the long stakeholder modalities saga at the Open ended working group on responsible state behaviour in cyberspace (OEWG) concluded with the adoption of stakeholder modalities by consensus. This follows the continued disagreement about how stakeholders should be able to engage in OEWG discussions—which limited the proceedings of the second substantive session of the OEWG to informal mode—and the unprecedented tabling of a resolution at the UN General Assembly by the UK (which would have broken with the consensus approach so far and made meaningful progress on key topics very unlikely). The UK's resolution was withdrawn after numerous bilateral meetings, informals, and side meetings, and the newly agreed modalities will come into effect with the third meeting of the group in July.
The agreement provides for more transparency on the rejection of non-ECOSOC accredited NGOs when they apply for sessions, and clarifies that accredited stakeholders will be able to attend formal OEWG meetings, make oral statements during dedicated sessions, and submit written inputs to the OEWG webpage. Nonetheless, some countries—including Russia—have already indicated that they will continue to use the veto as they like, potentially resulting in a repeat of the blanket vetoes of non-ECOSOC accredited NGOs. It will therefore continue to be vital for member states and stakeholders to not only call out this behaviour if and when it happens, but also utilise informal methods of engagement, including national and regional consultations to input. Our guide, published at the outset of the first OEWG, offers some examples and tips.
This continued possibility of blanket vetoes also means that the proposed "Cyber Programme of Action", a proposal for a permanent mechanism at the UN First Committee to discuss state behaviour in cyberspace, may offer a more promising avenue for stakeholder engagement in these discussions at the UN. After slow progress, to some extent stymied by the inability to meet in person but also due to disagreements over whether and how the mechanism differs from the OEWG, some of the Programme's co-sponsors will host a multi-stakeholder workshop on the PoA in Geneva in May, with the aim of garnering stakeholder input on the proposal, and generating further support for it. Open to all, you can register here.
GPD has launched two new tools to support the development of human rights-respecting cybercrime legislation and national cybersecurity strategies. Building on our longstanding work in this area, the tools offer a comprehensive framework for assessing the different elements of cybercrime legislation and national cybersecurity strategies from a human rights perspective, as well as examples of good practice, and other considerations.
In June, GPD will co-host a session at RightsCon with Freedom House entitled "Putting the internet back together again", focusing on the human rights risks of internet fragmentation and the principles needed for an open, interconnected and interoperable internet. We're also working with ICANN to deliver a RightsCon session entitled "Throwing the internet into reverse?", and with the Global Encryption Coalition Steering Committee and the Internet Governance Forum to organise two community labs focused on encryption advocacy and building community amongst cybernorms practitioners, as well as a social hour called "Let's save encryption!" To view the full program of events, and to get your ticket, visit the RightsCon2022 website here. Registered participants will be able to log-in to the platform, view the full agenda, and build their own personal schedule from 23 May.
Executive Director Lea Kaspar moderated an expert panel on Digital Authoritarianism and technology-facilitated threats to journalists and human rights defenders at UNESCO's World Press Freedom Conference in Uruguay this week. The session was organised by the Dutch and Canadian governments, in collaboration with the Media Freedom Coalition and the Freedom Online Coalition.

Khloe Kardashian Proves She Has the Biggest Heart Through This Act of Generosity
Maria Jul 01, 2019
If you haven't been living under a rock, you probably already know about the Kardashians, who have taken over the entertainment world by storm and are constantly in the news, whether it's related to their business ventures or family drama.
The wealthy clan has given a new meaning to successful, rising to fame under the guidance of matriarch Kim Kardashian.
Through their eponymous reality TV show, millions around the globe get to stay up to date with their lives.
Khloe Kardashian has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry through her television show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'
Naturally, not everything about them is centered around the show. They are also active within the online community and interact positively (and sometimes negatively) with their followers.
Khloé Kardashian is the third born in her family, and has over the years made something quite remarkable of herself. Like her siblings, she is a lady of many talents, excelling in modeling, fashion, TV, and business.
Khloé Kardashian's Good American made record sales on its day of launch
To that end, Khloé launched her clothing line Good American in 2016, and the brand has gained massive popularity since its inception. Unfortunately, the brand is somewhat pricey, and some consumers find themselves paying a lot more than usual for a pair of jeans from the line.
In Khloe's defense, the brand doesn't outsource the manufacturing to cheaper countries. Instead, everything is made in the United States and the employees earn a handsome salary for their work.
But not all of Khloe's fans are pleased with the exorbitant prices of her clothing line. One of the unhappy fans includes Kaelynn Abner, who took to Twitter last month, lamenting that she had to work an extra 20-hour shift to save enough money to buy a pair of Khloé's jeans. Luckily for her, the entrepreneur happened to see the Tweet and decided to change Abner's luck.
The fan received a boxful of Good American goodies, including pairs of jeans and denim skirts, and workout merchandise. Naturally, she had to share the good news online, tweeting pictures of herself in different pieces.
She went on to inform the masses that she had long been a Khloé Kardashian admirer, it was mind-blowing that the star had taken time off her busy schedule to put a smile on her face. Kardashian, on the other hand, replied to the tweet, expressing her joy that Abner had received the gifts while encouraging her to continue working hard and staying positive.
Kardashian News? Bring It On!
As is the case with every single news report concerning the Kardashians, the online community had mixed reactions to KoKo's act of generosity. There were those who praised her for being such a kind soul while others were baying for blood, especially when she commented that it was cute that Abner had to work extra to afford Good American.
For them, the Kardashian could never understand the woes that force one into picking up extra shifts, having been born into a wealthy family. Those who commended the star, however, stood with her, showering her with praises.
Emma Grede and Khloé Kardashian are the co-founders of the clothing line that has grown tremendously over the past three years. The line sent shockwaves around the country and eager customers helped the company make $1 million on its launch day, making it the biggest ever launch in denim history.
Emma Grede and Khloé Kardashian, the power duo that founded the fashion brand together
The two business moguls, however, didn't let themselves get complacent after their first-day success.
They knew it was only the beginning, and they immediately started brainstorming on how best they could expand. Now, they have a variety of fits that come in a range of sizes, providing both comfort and style in one pair of jeans.

Oxford commemorates local organizations
October 21, 2021 | 8:00am EDT
Oxford Mayor Mike Smith gave two proclamations to recognize local organizations at the Oct. 19 City Council meeting.
In his first proclamation, Smith declared Oct. 23 as Greater Oxford Community Foundation Day in recognition of the organization's 25th anniversary.
The foundation serves the Oxford, Hanover, Milford and Reily areas, all of which fall under the Talawanda School District. It uses donations and grants to fund programs and projects in the area that improve the quality of life for residents.
Since its inception as a nonprofit in 1996, the foundation has given just less than $6 million in grants.
Betsy Hope, executive director of the foundation, thanked Smith and the city for its support during her tenure.
"I don't think the foundation would be where it is without the city of Oxford and all your help and all your support," Hope said.
Bob Carmean, president of the foundation's Board of Directors, said he's looking to the future of the organization.
"As we are celebrating our 25th anniversary, we're looking forward to the next 125 years here in Oxford," Carmean said.
Smith also gave a proclamation declaring Oct. 29 as Oxford Community Arts Center (OCAC) Day. OCAC, a nonprofit organization that promotes community arts, has hosted more than 150,000 patrons of all ages since being established 20 years ago.
OCAC will host a 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Arts in Oxford from 6-9 p.m., Oct. 29, to commemorate its inception. The event, which will be held outdoors, will feature music, food trucks, presentations and more.
Kim Peterka, president of the Arts Center's Board of Trustees, represented the center at the meeting. She thanked both city officials and the community members who support the arts in Oxford.
"We wouldn't exist without the Oxford community and all of the volunteers and artists that make us what we are," Peterka said. "We, just like the Community Foundation, are looking forward to a very, very strong future."
City Council will meet again at 7:30 p.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 2, in the Oxford Courthouse.
Students call for removal of Oxford mayor, city councilor
By Madeline Phaby | September 7, 2021
A group of Miami University students is calling for a recall of Oxford Mayor Mike Smith and City Councilor Jason Bracken after they claim the two "took the opportunity to disparage members of the student population" following last week's vote in favor of a city-wide mask mandate.


By Kurt Vanauken of Loney & Schueller, LLC posted in workers compensation on Tuesday, September 20, 2016.
Eventually here in Central Iowa, it will feel like fall...until then, it's just "extended summer" apparently.
Many homeowners are taking this time to do home improvements that they may have initially been putting off until next Spring. Tops on a lot of list for many homeowners is getting a new roof installed.
With this sudden rush, employers are getting their crews out as quick as possible.
A roofer suffered critical injuries Monday when he fell from a roof on Mellville Street, according to police.
Four workers were on a section of scaffolding being supported by two ladders when one of the ladders broke around 12:30 Monday afternoon. Three of the men fell from the roof.
One of the men stopped breathing and was taken to Strong Hospital where police say he is listed in critical condition. OSHA was called to the scene and is investigating.
It would appear that this fall may have been as simple as an unforeseen accident, but that doesn't mean that the employee isn't eligible for compensation.

Harriet Cohen - Cohen in Novels
Cohen in Novels
Harriet Cohen was portrayed in three novels. D. H. Lawrence based the main character of Harriet in his novel Kangaroo on Cohen. Kangaroo was first published in 1923 and is set in Australia.
Rebecca West based the main character of Harriet in her novel Harriet Hume (1929) on Harriet Cohen. The novel is described as a modernist story about a piano-playing prodigy and her obsessive lover, a corrupt politician. The novel immortalised Harriet's love affair with the composer Arnold Bax.
William Gerhardie cast Cohen as the heroine Helen Sapphire in the book Pending Heaven and much of what is written mirrors Cohen's own life and character as well as her turbulent relationship with Gerhardie. Helen Sapphire is a musician who performs successfully all over Europe. She plays the harp and the piano. Gerhardie personified himself in the central character of Max who dreams about Helen.

Famous quotes containing the words cohen and/or novels:
"What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere."
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
"Good novels are not written by orthodoxy-sniffers, nor by people who are conscience-stricken about their own orthodoxy. Good novels are written by people who are not frightened."
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

Union IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said Indian infotech companies are not stealing American jobs but are in fact creating employment avenues in the world's largest economy.
Prasad's assertion came in the backdrop of proposed changes in the US policies around outsourcing and movement of skilled workers under the new administration.
"The domestic IT companies are present in 200 cities in 80 countries, including the US. In the US, our IT companies have given USD 20 billion in taxes last year. They have given jobs to 4,00,000 people there and have made value addition.
"Our IT companies are an asset for the US. The American administration should know that our companies don't steal their jobs but they are creating jobs. We have conveyed our concern to the highest US authorities," Prasad told the India Today Conclave here.
President Donald Trump's 'Buy American-hire American' rallying cry has put the USD 150-billion Indian IT industry, which draws more than 65 per cent of their revenues from that US alone, on the edge.
The IT industry has raised concerns over the proposed overhaul of the popular H-1B visa regime by Trump, as any curtailment in visas would result in higher operational costs and shortage of skilled workers.
The industry is also worried as Trump wants BPOs in America to more than double the salaries to USD 1.35 lakh per annum which would bump up operational cost for them.
Noting that the government objective is to make India the electronic hub of the world, Prasad said Rs 1.27 trillion worth of investments have come into electronic manufacturing in the country, much more than the Rs 11,000 crore during the UPA regime.
"We are keeping an eye on this. We are very much on the job. But, if an accident takes place on a highway, you cannot stop travelling through that. Same is the case with cyber technology and digitisation," he said, adding digital industry is soon going to be worth USD 1 trillion.

« Top-Selling Vinyl Releases of 2011 | Home | Top 10 Rock Keyboardists »
Vinyl Releases of the Week: January 11, 2012
It's an interesting bunch of releases this week, from rare '90s reissues to joyful interpretations of country classics.
Morphine – Cure for Pain (Modern Classics Recordings)
The second release on Light in the Attic imprint Modern Classics Recordings is the sophomore album from Morphine, originally released in 1993. Considered "one of the best and most cutting-edge rock releases of the '90s," the album was previously only available on vinyl as a (really expensive) Brazilian import. Now, for its first-ever US vinyl issue, it is available on 180-gram vinyl, lovingly re-mastered and packaged in a deluxe "tip-on" gatefold jacket with the original album art and added liner notes.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Magik reissue (Warner Bros.)
In case you missed it in December, Warner Bros. has reissued the Red Hot Chili Peppers' landmark 1991 album as a double 180-gram LP. A seminal alternative rock record, the album showcases the band's signature blend of funk and punk and features RHCP staples "Under the Bridge," "Give It Away," "Suck My Kiss," and "Breaking the Girl." Produced by Rick Rubin.
The Little Willies – For the Good Times (Milking Bull)
180-gram vinyl pressing of the brand new release from Norah Jones' country side project. This time out, the group covers some of their favorite songwriters including Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Lefty Frizzell, and Dolly Parton, recreating the songs with love and adding a bit of jazz-inflected warmth and the occasional dose of humor. Jones' take on Parton's "Jolene" is especially arresting.
The Lemonheads – Hotel Sessions (Hall of Records)
This album of unearthed Lemonheads recordings features 14 songs recorded one Sunday night nearly 20 years ago by Evan Dando with just his acoustic guitar and a Walkman in a hotel room in Bondi Beach, Australia. In addition to revealing commentary, Hotel Sessions features songs that were intended for the at-the-time still unreleased Come On Feel the Lemonheads (some of which never did make it on that record) and includes a version of "Into Your Arms" that Dando prefers to the album version.
Jellyfish – Bellybutton, Spilt Milk (Omnivore Recordings)
Vinyl reissues of the sole two studio albums from the influential early-'90s power-pop band. Drawing from a wide range of influences including Cheap Trick, the Paisley Underground, Queen, and the Beach Boys, these albums are power-pop classics, and this marks the first time either have been commercially available in the U.S. Originally released in 1990 as a promotional CD, the band's debut album, Bellybutton, features Jellyfish's most successful single, "Baby's Coming Back," and the first 1,500 copies are reissued here on 180-gram translucent blue vinyl. Its 1993 follow-up, Spilt Milk, is a pop gem that features more elaborate arrangements and lush vocal harmonies, and was originally only released on vinyl in the UK. Omnivore is pressing the first 1,500 copies of Spilt Milk on 180-gram translucent green vinyl.
Snow Patrol – Fallen Empires (Island)
Double vinyl LP pressing of the 2012 release and sixth studio album from the Irish alt-rock band, which frontman Gary Lightbody told fans would reflect the next phase of the band. Recorded in various unique locales around Southern California – from a crazy house in Santa Monica with panoramic ocean views to the one-time hippie commune and former home of Neil Young and Woody Guthrie in Topanga Canyon – the album is surprisingly melancholy with more techno-inspired moments. It features backing vocals from the LA Inner City Mass Gospel Choir in Compton as well guest appearances from R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, singer Lissie, and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen.
Alex Chilton – Free Again: The "1970" Sessions (Omnivore Recordings)
A collection of Alex Chilton's post-Box Tops/pre-Big Star recordings, these sessions (his first solo recordings) mark a man breaking free, no longer a puppet of his former group's producers. Includes the previously unissued track "All We Ever Got from Them Was Pain." LP includes digital download and the first 1,500 copies are pressed on clear 180-gram vinyl.
Thee Headcoats – The Kids Are All Square: This Is Hip!, Knights of the Baskervilles (Damaged Goods)
2012 is apparently the year of the Thee Headcoats reissues! Fronted by the "King of Garage Rock," Billy Childish, Thee Headcoats were a prolific band, running from 1989 to 2000 and garnering the praise of everyone from Kurt Cobain to Jack White. To kick things off, we have 1990's The Kids Are All Square: This Is Hip! featuring classics "All My Feelings Denied," "Davey Crockett," and "Cowboys Are Square," and 1996's Knights of the Baskervilles.
Mark Lanegan Band – "The Gravedigger's Song" 7-inch (4AD)
The lead track off of the upcoming album Blues Funeral, the first Mark Lanegan Band release since 2004's Bubblegum, paired with the non-album B-side "Burning Jacob's Ladder."

Cyclocross racer dies during Sunday's Ski to Sea race
Man experienced medical emergency while on the 13-mile course
Updated May 30, 2022 at 5:25 p.m.
Dawn Groves, the sea kayaker for Border Traffic, is comforted at the finish line after she learned of her teammate's death. (Hailey Hoffman/Cascadia Daily News)
By AUDRA ANDERSON
A bicyclist in his late 50s died on the cyclocross leg of the 49th annual Ski to Sea race after experiencing a medical emergency, director Anna Rankin said Sunday night.
Blaine resident Rob Lawrance was a member of Border Traffic, a veterans-division team, meaning the combined age of the racers was 385-plus. Bellingham Police Department responded, and Lawrance received treatment but died at the scene.
His teammate and long-time friend, Amir Freund, was cycling home to Nanaimo, British Columbia, after completing the road bike leg of the race when he received a text that Lawrance "had a medical emergency" on the course. Freund initially thought his friend may have injured himself while riding. Lawrance was "in his 50s," and active, Freund said. The cyclocross bike route is approximately 13 miles of mostly flat, muddy riding which takes an average of 55 minutes to complete.
Shortly after Freund arrived at the ferry terminal to travel back to Vancouver Island, he got a call from a teammate.
"'I have something to tell you that you don't want to hear.' My heart sank completely," he said. "How is it possible?"
The team of friends has been competing in the seven-leg relay race for many years, Freund said.
"We never actually went for the trophy. We're not competitive. We were doing it for the fun of it, the experience to be outdoors," he said.
It was during a Ski to Sea race that Lawrance met his wife. A Canadian citizen, Lawrance went through the process of getting a green card and married his wife, an American, at the Peace Arch on the U.S.-Canada border.
Lawrance recently retired from his position as an environmental planner with the city of Nanaimo and was loved by everyone, Freund said. The pair met through work in 2011. Freund, transportation planner for the city of Nanaimo, described his friend as intelligent, articulate, kind and humble.
"I don't think he had anybody that didn't enjoy his time and temperament," Freund said. "He was always cheerful and friendly, and always ready to help."
Lawrance was an avid outdoorsman — "you have to be as an environmental planner," Freund said. Lawrance moved to be with his wife, who lives in Blaine, seven months ago. Lawrance spent time working with the City of Bellingham Public Works department on invasive species.
"He was such a lively guy, the center of attention when he's with his friends," Freund said.
The day before the race, the two friends were tinkering with their bikes in Lawrance's garage.
"It's just unreal for that to happen," Freund said.
Border Traffic's canoeists logged the team's last official time in the race, finishing the leg at 8:57:57. The team's sea kayaker, Dawn Groves, was the last of her team to cross the finish line Sunday. The choruses of congratulations and high fives followed her as she ran the final stretch to ring the bell.
Moments after crossing the finish line, a friend pulled Groves aside with the news of Lawrance's death. They stood together, hugging, for several minutes.
"Myself and the board of directors express our deepest condolences to the family, the friends and the teammates," Rankin said.
In 2002, a woman died while practicing for the canoe leg of the Ski to Sea race. She drowned after her vessel became stuck in a logjam; her teammate made it safely to shore but suffered a head injury, according to an Associated Press story.
Julia Lerner and Hailey Hoffman contributed to the reporting of this story.

Tampa Bay car accidents are common personal injury accidents over holiday weekends. Special care must be taken to avoid drunk driving accidents, motorcycle accidents, and tractor trailer accidents in Tampa Bay. These Tampa Bay vehicle injury accidents are often caused by distractions inside our vehicles and on the road. A distracted driver is a negligent driver and any car accident caused by that negligent driver will entitle the victim to compensation. The team at The Frank Santini Law Firm, home to former professional wrestling champion and Super Lawyer Rising Star Frank Santini, implores his neighbors in Riverview and throughout Tampa Bay to drive safely to avoid Riverview injury auto accidents.
Tragically, Tampa Bay wrongful death accidents also tend to be more common over Thanksgiving week. Don't be a statistic this year. Understand that there will be drunk drivers out there. Drive extra carefully and recall the teachings of your high school driving instructor, as unnecessary as they may seem sometimes. Drunk driving wrongful death accidents are perhaps the most devastating of the cases handled by Riverview personal injury lawyers, so please stay vigilant. If you are involved in a Tampa Bay vehicle injury accident, this weekend, our Riverview personal injury lawyers are on call and available for free consultations over the Thanksgiving holiday, Black Friday, and weekend.
WHAT IF THE GUY WHO HIT ME DOESN'T HAVE INSURANCE?
One question we get asked a lot about Riverview personal injury car accidents: What if the other guy who caused the Riverview vehicle injury accident doesn't have insurance? In Florida, we have the unfavorable distinction of having double the national average of uninsured drivers accoding to the Insurance Journal – a shocking 26.7%. Put another way, one in four drivers on the road in Florida have no insurance.
There is something call Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM) on your auto insurance. If you don't have it, get it. It is a protection for which you must pay your auto insurer a premium, but every Tampa Bay vehicle injury lawyer will tell you it is worth it. It's an absolute must, it is your only protection if you suffer a Tampa Bay personal injury at the hands of an uninsured driver or hit and run driver. With UM coverage, you and your loved could be entitled to compensation even if the other guy does not have insurance. The basic gist is if you are not at fault for the accident and the at-fault driver (in other words, the driver whose fault it was) does not have insurance or does not have enough insurance to compensate you for the injuries you suffered, UM coverage through your own insurance company steps in to help.
Questions about a Riverview car accident?
Our Tampa Bay personal injury lawyers are here to help. We are available anytime, we even have a lawyer on call during Thanksgiving and the holiday weekend for a free consultation. Our Riverview personal injury attorneys are here to assist if you or someone dear to you as been involved in a Tampa Bay car accident.

Q: Which is the best way to organize your Bills , Invoices etc online I am very much dis-organized sort of person. usually when ever i have any important piece of paper , letter , document , bill . i forgot or throw it and sometime when i need it years later then i repent it.
I was thinking that i should scann evrything from bills , letters , Business cards.
But my main worry is how i can organize them or where should i store them online.
May with some category Listing dates , search etc.
even if its paid thats ok
It it possbile in Google Docs??

A: Yes, it's entirely possible in Google Docs, however I wouldn't recommend scanning all of your personal documents and putting them online as a solution.
No matter how secure Google Docs may be, if someone gets a hold of your password, through a keylogger or any other method, all of your private information is visible to them through these documents. Maybe an installable software solution would be more applicable. You can scan your documents and sort them easily with Picasa for example.

A: Evernote may be a solution. It's a desktop/mobile/web application. You can scan documents in and it will push it to Evernote's server to OCR it. They have a backup of it and you can access it anywhere via their desktop application, mobile application, and web application. They have both a free service and a premium service. The biggest difference is SSL encryption and bigger upload limit.
I personally use DevonThink. It has a big price-tag no doubt, and it only works on Mac. However, I can't live without it. It does OCR and organization. The interface is a little less user-friendly than Evernote, but it has its uses for those who like to maintain links between their data.

A: How about scan your stuff, but store it locally?  Use a local indexing service such as Google Desktop for Windows or Mac, Spotlight for Mac, or Tracker for linux.
All are good ways to make your files easy to find no matter how they are organized.  Also eliminates any security problems, but you will have to back up your data yourself.
I have used desktop search tools for years to keep a variety of business, finance, & music organized.  Works great.

Apple's New A6 Chip Is Smaller, Lighter, and Mightier
Filed to:A6
Apple announced it's got a whole new chip for the iPhone 5. It's called the A6, which is a semi-surprising upgrade to this year's iPad's A5X.
No word on whether it's quad core or not, but it's 22 percent smaller than the old A5 and has twice the GPU and graphics power. The A5 to the A5X was a huge graphics leap itself, so we'll let you know when we know more about it.
Apple is also claiming the A6 will help the camera take pictures 40 percent faster, and power better image stabilization, and photos from video.
As reference, the A5X at the time was billed as twice as powerful graphically as the A5 as well. So that's a little confusing, but we'll figure it out once the official specs come out. Either way, that soft stat represents a boost in CPU performance from the A5X. Apple also claims that it makes all these gains in performance while actively increasingly battery efficiency.
Inside Apple's A5X Chipset: Dual-Core CPU, Quad-Core GPU
With the announcement of the iPad 3, came the announcement of a new processor: the A5x chipset with
Cocktail napkin math would suggest that the A6 went to a 1GHz or 1.5GHz quad core processor, leaving behind the dual core A5x, but there's nothing official from Apple just yet.
For now, though, expect a boost in graphics, launch time, and battery life from the A6.

Information provided by Asinta's US Partner, Alliant Employee Benefits.
On October 23, 2018, the Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services (Departments) released draft regulations that significantly relax the regulation of HRAs.
Those regulations: (1) allow integration of HRAs with individual market coverage, and (2) create a new "excepted benefit" class of HRA that falls outside of ACA regulation. In other words, employers will be permitted under certain circumstances to pay for employees' individual coverage through an HRA.
The proposed rule also addresses how these two new HRA options interact and how they affect eligibility for Exchange Premium Tax Credit (PTC) subsidies. These rules are set to go into effect January 1, 2010, but the Departments promise subsequent guidance on how "individually integrated HRAs" affect the ACA's employer Pay or Play mandate.

Mortgage crisis continues
By Jerry Goldberg, May 22, 2014
A new report documents how millions of people across the U.S. continue to suffer the effects of the housing crisis that began around 2005.
Published in early May by the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at the University of California, Berkeley, the detailed study is entitled "Underwater America: How the so-called housing 'recovery' is bypassing many American communities." (tinyurl.com/ka3xa7g)
From September 2008 through the end of 2013, says the report, approximately 4.9 million families lost their homes to foreclosure, and between 2010 and 2013 another 1.3 million lost their homes to short sales (where homeowners sell their homes below what is owed to avoid imminent foreclosure).
U.S. households, according to the Haas report, lost $7 trillion in household wealth between 2006 and 2011 as a result of the decline in their home values. In 2012, the U.S. homeownership rate fell for the eighth year in a row. Despite the current "rebound" in home prices, which is expected to slow down dramatically in the near future, the total value of owner-occupied housing continues to be $3.2 trillion below 2006 levels.
Because home ownership constitutes 92 percent and 67 percent respectively, of the net financial assets for African Americans and Latinos/as, compared to 58 percent for whites, overall wealth among African Americans and Latinos/as declined by 53 percent and 66 percent respectively, compared to 16 percent for whites during 2005 to 2009, according to the study. This reflected the disparities in foreclosure rates between people of color and whites in the U.S.: 11 percent for African Americans and 14 percent for Latinos/as between 2004 and 2008, compared to 6 percent for whites. This is because the banks targeted African Americans and Latinos/as with predatory, subprime, pay option and other adjustable rate, exotic mortgage loans.
The report emphasizes that despite press reports trumpeting the "housing recovery," oppressed communities especially continue to suffer the ravages of the housing crisis, with millions of homes still underwater (meaning homeowners owe more on their mortgages than the market value of their homes). The report notes that underwater home loans are far more likely to end in foreclosure.
Some of the key findings of the Haas report are:
1 in 10 U.S. residents lives in the 100 hardest-hit cities (with populations over 100,000) where the number of underwater homeowners ranges from 22 percent to 56 percent.
In 71 of these cities, African Americans and Latinos/as account for at least 40 percent of the population.
In 2013, more than 320,000 homeowners in these cities went into default or foreclosure.
More than 10 million people in the U.S. live in the 395 ZIP (postal) codes with populations over 5,000 where between 43 percent and 76 percent of homeowners are underwater.
In almost two-thirds of these ZIP codes, African Americans and Latinos/as account for at least half of the residents.
The 11 states with the highest number of hardest-hit ZIP codes are (in order): Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Missouri, California, Nevada and North Carolina.
FHFA: 'No principal reductions'
Government corporations Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will still not consider principal reductions on mortgage loans, according to the new Obama-appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Mel Watt, on May 13. Housing activists were profoundly disappointed by the announcement. FHFA oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which now either own or guarantee about 75 percent of all mortgage loans.
According to organizers with Detroit Eviction Defense, there was one ray of hope from Watt. The FHFA announced a pilot program for Detroit where nonprofit agencies could buy foreclosed properties at market value pre-eviction and work out an arrangement to keep families in their homes. Organizers say this program is a concession won as a result of the pressure of DED with the support of the United Auto Workers.
While Detroit Eviction Defense views this small victory, which still must be implemented, as a potential step forward, the committee is vowing to continue its direct action home defenses, as well as pressing its demands for a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions for all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac homes, principal reduction for underwater homes, and that repossessed homes be sold to owner-occupants (not investors, as is currently done) at market value. The UAW, several other unions and approximately 75 community organizations have endorsed this DED program in defense of homeowners' right to remain in their homes.
Goldberg is an anti-foreclosure attorney and organizer in Detroit.

First and foremost Android P brings a lot of visual changes. If you take the home screen, it looks very similar to the Android Oreo. However, there are several changes in the visuals. The quick settings page has received the complete makeover with nicely rounded buttons for all the toggles that now really look like iOS.
The notifications on Android P have received quite some changes as well. Moreover, the notifications will now also be able to display images in the notifications itself making it much easier to see what someone is sent. In addition, the notification also has native support for smart replies in messaging apps and the option to save replies in drafts if implemented by the developers.
This time, Google has designed its setting page with coloured icons all over the place and they do give a refreshing feel. Moreover, there are also changes in the Android P handles animations. Moving between apps now has a side to side animation that looks very iPhone.
As the rumours suggested, Android P has displayed CUTOUT support. Moreover, which we call as NOTCH support. Google has accepted that Android P will not be supported in all Android Gadgets. It will certainly take some time for this update. The Android P develops the Preview even lets you visualize what the different NOTCH will look like and how the app interacts with it. This is actually meant for the developers to test their features and should translate into apps that play well with NOTCHES in Android phone.
Android P has an editor built right into the OS itself, it is called as MARKUP and brings a very basic editor that let you crop, rotate, and take a screenshot. It is very similar to that the screenshot tool for iOS 11.
Fortunately, Android P is making life better for us with the brand new feature called Lockdown. What is does is simple. If the Lockdown feature is on and your phone will not unlock even if someone tries to use your fingerprints to unlock your smartphone. Moreover, when this feature is ON, it certainly locks your Fingerprint lock.
Android P will let developers use Multi-camera support. This opens up new creative ideas in dual camera phones where both the lenses have the same timing; seamless Zoom and even getting stereoscopic shots.
These are the features which Google has revealed in its preview version. Let us hope for other features in their real launch.

Dodgers News: Don Mattingly Talks Possible September Call-ups
Every year in Major League Baseball on September 1 the rosters expand from 25 to 40, meaning teams can call up prospects to get some Major League action, regardless if they're truly ready or not. Last year the Los Angeles Dodgers called up their top prospect, Joc Pederson. The then 22-year-old went just 4-for-38 in limited action, but he got his first taste of the big leagues, which helped him prepare to be the starting center fielder for Los Angeles in 2015.
That date is just a couple weeks away, and the Dodgers currently have a few potential prospects that could be called up.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly recently talked about the situation, stating that there's no set number or maximum number they're targeting, decisions will be based on team needs. "We'll keep talking about it," Mattingly said. "We haven't decided who, but I think in general you don't want guys here for no reason if you don't have any plans to use them. More is not the merrier in the situation where you're in a pennant race."
"I know Andrew [Friedman] has talked about bringing X amount, probably in waves. We'll bring a few guys and let them continue on, and then bring the rest of the guys. We all agree we don't want a ton of guys here for no reason."
Possible promotions include, of course, the Dodgers top two prospects Julio Urias and Corey Seager, as well as a couple of guys who have already seen Major League action in Austin Barnes and Zach Lee. Barnes will be brought up, as all teams bring a third catcher aboard for the final month.
Mattingly recently said that an innings restriction wouldn't limit Urias, as he missed time earlier in the season while having eye surgery. If the 19-year-old were called up he would likely go into the bullpen, where the Dodgers have struggled recently.
Seager, on the other hand, is less likely to be called up as the Dodgers are currently pretty set at shortstop with the second half resurgence of Jimmy Rollins. The 21-year-old is batting .295 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs in the minors this season though, so it is still possible that he is called up and used as a bat off the bench and spot starter at short or third base.
Lee, who was the Dodgers first round pick in 2010, made his Major League debut earlier this season. While it did not exactly go as planned, as he gave up 11 hits and seven runs in 4.2 innings July 25 against the New York Mets, Lee will get another chance in September. The Dodgers rotation is currently pretty set, so he likely won't get any starts, but he could be utilized in a relief role.
Mattingly also talked about trusting young players called up in pennant race. "You never know what's going to happen, it's really hard to say when you don't know the guys," the 54-year-old skipper said. "There have been times where young guys come up, you saw it with K-Rod and the Angels and he lit the world on fire. And he's been doing it ever since. I'm not opposed to young guys at all, but we'll just see how it goes."
With the recent falters of the bullpen specifically, Mattingly and the Dodgers can use any help they can get down the stretch.
