The gaming fanatics are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Project Natal and PS3 Move and at this good time, Ubisoft seems in the mood to please the aficionados all the more. Though Sony and Microsoft haven't shown any interest in talking about the next generation consoles- PS4 and XboX 720- as yet, Ubisoft's Murray Pannel, head of marketing for the UK division was quite vocal about his thoughts on the future consoles and the present ones as well.
As per hm, these two consoles shall be in the gamer hands before the end of 2013, which means the gamers still have a lingering wait on their hands. Pannel however was confident that smaller introductions viz. Move, Kinect and the Nintendo 3DS, in the future will keep the anxiety level in check for this 30 months duration.
The year 2011 will be an eventful one for all the three major gaming giants that take pride in satiating the gaming hunger at the highest level. This generation has spent five years and the gamers have every right to know what's coming next.

Q: WP Обновление данных в БД по нажатию на кнопку Подскажите, как реализовать обновление данных в кастомной таблице БД WP по нажатию на кнопку. Вот простой пример:
Есть HTML в админке плагина

Tournaments are empty
<button id="btn_update" class="btn_update">Update Sports Result</button>

Вот скрипт который по идеи должен обновить два поля uploadData.php:
<?php

add_action( 'wp_ajax_updateDB', 'updateDataBase' );
function updateDataBase(){
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->update(
        $wpdb->prefix . 'sports_viewer', // указываем таблицу
        array('json' => $_POST['text']),
        array('object_last_modified' => 1 ),

        array( '%s' ),
        array( '%d' )
    );

    wp_die();
}

Вот файл отправки через AJAX
jQuery(function ($) {
    $('#btn_update').click(function(){
        $.ajax({
            url: ajaxurl,
            type: 'POST',
            data: {
                action: 'updateDB',
                text: "this is test text", /// Тут так надо передавать значение в php переменную $text?
            },

            beforeSend: function( xhr ) {
                $('#btn_update').text('Обновление базы, сек...');
            },
            success: function( data ) {
                $('#btn_update').text('Отправить');
                alert( data );
            }
        });
    });
});

В ячейку json - хочу отправить текст. В ячейку object_last_modified - записать время последнего обновления (если оно было успешным). Как это связывается в php?


Letting go of perfection is priority number one.
There seem to be two versions of the holidays: One portrays this time of year as the happiest, while the second is a whirlwind of strained budgets and family fights. Nearly 70% of us are stressed during the season, according to the American Psychological Association. "The holidays bring together almost all of our pressures into one short period of time," says Tarane Sondoozi, Psy.D., a psychologist serving as an employee assistance provider at Scripps Health in San Diego. But it is possible to sidestep the stress— you just need real-world solutions, and you'll find them here.
It's become more difficult to write off the idyllic holiday as unrealistic when social media delivers us photos of friends' and bloggers' seemingly impeccable celebrations. In fact, one survey found that 44% of people strive for holiday perfection, and 32% end up disappointed.
Holiday stress strategy: Start breaking some traditions. "When it comes to decorating, giving gifts, and upholding traditions, women in particular often feel like they have to do everything," says Pamela Regan, Ph.D., a psychology professor at California State University, Los Angeles. But do you? Keep your most cherished traditions, like caroling or cooking latkes, and simplify the rest. "Creating newer, easier traditions takes the pressure off of how things should be," says Regan. Decorate the living room rather than the whole house, and invite close friends over for tea rather than hosting a party. You never know which new customs will stick around for generations to come.
There's so much stress around gift-giving: finding the perfect presents for family, plus the murky gray areas—what should you give your daughter's dance teacher? Should all of your neighbors get a present?
When eBay researchers strapped biometric devices to 100 people as they shopped for holiday gifts, the participants' heart rates jumped 33% and they felt fatigued after 32 minutes. It's no wonder a Pew Research Center survey found that only 1% of Americans list shopping as their favorite holiday activity.
Holiday stress strategy: Organize your shopping into manageable categories. To make it less overwhelming, sort through who you're buying gifts for and research what you'd like to get each person before leaving the house, says Sara Skirboll, a shopping and trends expert for RetailMeNot. Next, plan three to five different shopping outings rather than one long day of spending. "Visit the mall one afternoon and get everything you need there, hit a boutique store another day, and then plan to spend, say, three different shopping sessions online," Skirboll says. This way, you can tackle your gift list without feeling exasperated and unorganized by the end of a long day (and, as an extra perk, you'll have fewer bags to carry!).
Once you've organized your shopping strategy, the next step is paying for all those gifts—not to mention all the decorations, food, and travel costs that come with the season. One Coinstar survey of 2,000 Americans found that 65% of people set a holiday budget, but 77% expect to exceed that budget. That's stress waiting to happen.
Holiday stress strategy: Gently reshape expectations. That means your own and other people's. Determine ahead of time how much you'll spend on each person you're giving a gift to, says Skirboll. "With groups of friends, you can suggest a gift exchange in which every person draws a name and gives a gift only to that person," she says. "And remember, homemade presents are often more cherished than store-bought ones, and much less expensive." (See right for easy ideas.) When it comes to your children's wish lists, if what they want is too expensive, be caring but honest about it. This can be a good lesson for them in managing expectations. You can also use this as an opportunity to highlight the spirit of the season by helping them make small gifts for others, Skirboll suggests.
To cut down on travel expenses, consider flying on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve; since most people travel before or after these days, lower demand means airfare discounts. You may also save by renting a car through Costco—its travel site generally has better deals than you'll find at the airport.
Holiday stress strategy: Finally practice mindfulness. You'll actually feel more efficient if you do: Research shows that multitasking can reduce productivity by 40%. See below to get started, and give yourself permission to find time for yourself if there's still too much to do. Sondoozi recommends letting your loved ones down gently by declining requests while offering a more manageable alternative. For instance: "I'm touched you wanted to include me at your party, but this weekend is packed for me. What if we celebrate by walking around the lake next week with hot cocoa?" If you can't fit everything in, send a handwritten note or a bottle of wine ahead of time to let the hosts know you're still thinking of them.
Perhaps you're not close with your family or you still feel the aching absence of your mother, who passed away.
Holiday stress strategy: Find time to volunteer. A study in the Journals of Gerontology found that recent widows who started volunteering at least two hours per week lowered their feelings of isolation to a level similar to married people who volunteered. "Taking time to help others gets you out of the house, provides a shift in perspective, and forces you to interact with others," says Adam Fried, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist based in Phoenix.
In fact, simply lending a hand to a relative, friend, or even a stranger has its benefits, and research shows it can mitigate the impact of stress. Reach out and ask someone if he or she could use help or company—or simply invite the person to your own celebrations. Most people don't make their loneliness known, but you can be the one to make it better.
You have the uncle who shouts about politics across the dinner table, and the cousin who returns every kind gesture with a complaint. Although nearly 90% of Americans plan to spend the holidays with extended family or friends, Consumer Reports data shows that 33% dread political conversations with them and 16% don't want to host.
Holiday stress strategy: give yourself a new script. Before a family reunion, think about how you'll answer possible questions, says Regan. This way, you won't be stunned when you're hit with an inquiry you'd rather not answer ("Do you think you'll ever remarry?" "How much did you pay for your new house?"). If things get out of control, put your foot down by saying, "I love you, but let's not discuss this right now," recommends Judith Orloff, M.D., a UCLA psychiatrist and author of The Empath's Survival Guide.

Just ten percent of the global terrestrial protected area network is structurally connected via intact land
Measure of human pressure
Probability of connectivity
Structural connectivity between protected areas
Structural connectivity provided by intact lands: ConnIntact
Theoretical examples
Three conditions analysis
Reporting summary
We determined the structural connectivity of the global network of PAs by quantifying intact continuous pathways (areas largely devoid of high anthropogenic pressures) between PAs. Data on PA location and boundary were obtained from the May 2019 World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA)70. We only considered PAs that had a land area of at least 10 km2. As China removed most of its PAs from the public May 2019 WDPA version, we used the April 2018 WDPA for China only, which contained the full set of Chinese PAs at the time. It is important to note that our statistics may differ from those reported by countries and territories due to methodologies and dataset differences used to measure terrestrial area of a country or territory.
We used the latest global terrestrial human footprint (HFP) maps—a cumulative index of eight variables measuring human pressure on the global environment—to calculate the average human pressure between PAs35. While there are other human pressure maps74,75,76, the HFP is a well-accepted dataset that provided a validation analysis using scored pressures from 3114 × 1 km2 random sample plots. The root mean squared error for the 3114 validation plots was 0.125 on the normalized 0–1 scale, indicating an average error of approximately 13%. The Kappa statistic was 0.737, also indicating high concurrence between the HFP and the validation dataset. The HFP 2013 map uses the following variables: (1) the extent of built human environments, (2) population density, (3) electric infrastructure, (4) crop lands, (5) pasture lands, (6) roads, (7) railways, and (8) navigable waterways.
Navigable waterways such as rivers and lakes are included within HFP as they can act as conduits for people to access nature35. In the latest HFP (2013), rivers and lakes are included based on size and visually identified shipping traffic and shore side settlements. Venter et al. treated the great lakes of North America, Lake Nicaragua, Lake Titicaca, Lake Onega, Lake Peipus, Lake Balkash, Lake Issyk Kul, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi, as they did navigable marine coasts (i.e. only considered coasts as navigable for 80 km either direction of signs of a human settlement, which were mapped as a night lights signal with a Digital Number (DN) > 6 within 4 km of the coast35). Rivers were included if their depth was >2 m and there were night-time lights (DN > = 6) within 4 km of their banks, or if contiguous with a navigable coast or large inland lake, and then for a distance of 80 km or until stream depth is too shallow for boats. To map rivers and their depth, Venter et al. used the hydrosheds (hydrological data and maps based on shuttle elevation derivatives at multiple scales) dataset on stream discharge, and the following formulae: stream width = 8.1× (discharge[m3/s])0.58; and velocity = 4.0 × (discharge[m3/s])0.6/(width[m]); and cross-sectional area = discharge/velocity; and depth = 1:5× area/width35.
Each human pressure was scaled from 0–10, then weighted within that range according to estimates of their relative levels of human pressure following Sanderson et al.77. The resulting standardized pressures were then summed together to create the HFP maps for all non-Antarctic land areas35.
Within the main manuscript, we defined intact land as any 1 km2 pixel with a HFP value not higher than or equal to 4. Within this threshold, all areas with a HFP score higher than 4 are defined as nonintact. While previous analyses showed that a >4 score is a key threshold above which species extinction risk greatly increases39, we recognized that there is no one true threshold, which impacts all species equally. Some species may require no human pressure to successfully disperse, while others might successfully navigate through more intensively modified landscapes. Therefore, we conducted our analyses for two additional HFP thresholds. The first used a HFP score <1 and the second incorporated all areas with a HFP < 10.
The probability of connectivity network-based metric underlies the analysis performed78, with adaptations to account for structural connectivity provided by intact lands. Probability of Connectivity (PC) is given by the following formula:
$${mathrm{PC}} = frac{{mathop {sum}nolimits_{i = 1}^n {mathop {sum}nolimits_{j = 1}^n {a_ia_jp_{ij}^ ast } } }}{{A_L^2}},$$
where n is the total number of PAs in the study area (i.e. landmass of continent, country or territory), ai and aj are the total area of PAs i and j, p*ij is the maximum product probability between PAs i and j, and AL is the total area of the study area. The maximum product probability (p*ij) considers both direct connections (movement from i to j without using any other intermediate PA in the network) and indirect connections (movement from i to j facilitated by one or several other intermediate PAs acting as stepping stones). The maximum product probability (p*ij) is calculated through network analysis using the values of the direct dispersal probabilities between nodes (pij). In this analysis, pij = 1 when PA i and j are connected (edge to edge) by a continuous pathway of intact land and pij = 0 if not. Both probabilities will be equal when the direct movement is the most favorable (probable) pathway between i and j. p*ij will be larger than pij when intermediate stepping stones increase the structural connectivity between i and j beyond what is possible by using only the direct connection between them78,79. Therefore, two PAs may not be directly connected by intact lands (hence having pij = 0), but may be connected through an intermediate stepping-stone PAs, which would give p*ij = 1.
The Probability of Connectivity (PC) metric accounts for both intra-PA (i = j) and inter-PA area (i ≠ j) structural connectivity, which is, respectively, given by the intra-PA (PCintra) and inter-PA (PCinter) components of PC are
$${mathrm{PC}} = {mathrm{PCintra}} + {mathrm{PCinter}}{mathrm{.}}$$
PCintra is calculated using the formula
$${mathrm{PCintra}} = frac{{mathop {sum}nolimits_{i = 1}^n {mathop {sum}nolimits_{j = 1,i = j}^n {a_ia_jp_{ij}^ ast } } }}{{A_L^2}} = frac{{mathop {sum}nolimits_{i = 1}^n {a_i^2} }}{{A_L^2}}.$$
While PCinter is mathematically defined as
$${mathrm{PCinter}} = frac{{mathop {sum}nolimits_{i = 1}^n {mathop {sum}nolimits_{j = 1,i ne j}^n {a_ia_jp_{ij}^ ast } } }}{{A_L^2}}.$$
In this analysis, we investigated the connectivity between PAs (i.e. all PAs considered, regardless of how much intact land they contain) that is provided by intact land. For this reason, here the intra-node connectivity is removed and we focus only the inter-node (inter-PA) connectivity (PCinter) for both country/territory and continent level analyses. PCinter is defined as the probability that two points randomly located in two different PAs within the study area (therefore considering only the cases where i ≠ j) are connected to each other via intact habitat. We calculated PCinter using two scenarios: PCinter_intact and PCinter_all. PCinter_intact is the value when considering that only the intact lands provide structural connectivity between PAs. PCinter_all is the value when any land (all land, intact, or not) provides structural connectivity between PAs, (i.e. considering that two PAs are connected when they are located in the same landmass or island). This analysis provided us with the maximum terrestrial PA structural connectivity that could be theoretically achieved in a country/territory or continent if all of its land was intact. In both scenarios, an 8-neighbouhood rule between land cells was used when defining the continuity of land (using the 1 km2 resolution of the HFP layer).
We combined PCinter_intact and PCinter_all, as defined above, to obtain ConnIntact, which quantifies the percentage of the PA system that is connected through intact pathways. It is calculated using the following ratio:
$${mathrm{ConnIntact}} = 100frac{{{mathrm{PCinter}}_{mathrm{intact}}}}{{{mathrm{PCinter}}_{mathrm{all}}}}.$$
Which, given the equation for PCinter above, can be expressed as:

where pINTACT refers to the maximum product probabilities when only the intact lands provide structural connectivity between PAs, pALL refers to the maximum product probabilities when all land would be intact and hence would provide the highest possible structural connectivity between PAs, n is the total number of PAs in the study area (e.g. a country, territory or continent), and ai and aj are the total area of PAs i and j. To calculate connectivity, we consider all possible land between two PAs if they are located in the same landmass or island (i.e. if there is a continuous land pathway between the PAs). An 8-neighbourhood rule between land cells is used when defining the continuity of land. This analysis provides insight into how well connected the PAs would be if all land was intact (i.e. the proportional connection based on the maximum terrestrial PA connectivity that could be theoretically achieved in a country, territory, or continent). It is important to note that not all the PAs in a given country, territory, or continent will be connected if they are located in different landmasses or islands, but calculated as an aggregation of the results at the country or territory level. ConnIntact provides the percentage of the PA network that is connected by intact lands. This metric is expressed as a percentage of the total area under protection (see Supplementary Figs. 1–3).
The ConnIntact metric assumes that all PAs have the same area and that n is the number of PAs in a hypothetic country. In addition, we define t is the proportion of PAs that are located within the intact land. Therefore, t·n is the number of PAs within intact land.
If all the intact land is located in a single and continuous intact patch (so that all PAs within intact land are connected to each other), then t*n (t*n − 1) is the number of PA pairs that are connected (both directions) by intact land. The maximum number of PA pairs that would be connected (both directions) if all the land within the study area was intact would be n·(n − 1). As ConnIntact is expressed as a percentage, the value of ConnIntact in this case is equal to 100·t·n·(t·n − 1)/n·(n − 1) (a particular and simplified case of Eq. (5) in the main text).
In the Supplementary Fig. 1 example, n = 20; therefore, the maximum possible number of connections (pairs of PAs connected) is 380. Example 1a illustrates when the entire country is covered by one continuous patch of intact land, all PAs pairs are connected by intact land and ConnIntact is 100% (Supplementary Fig. 1a). This means that the 380 potential connections among PAs are all possible through intact land. Example 1b illustrates when we divide the country in two patches of intact land disconnected by nonintact land (Supplementary Fig. 1b) the protected areas on the right side become disconnected to the ones in the left side. However, inside each patch, PAs are still connected to each other by intact land. We can consider this case as the combination of two sets of PAs, n1 = 10 and n2 = 10, within which all PAs are connected. The number of PA pairs connected within each of the two intact land patches is therefore 90, which gives a total of 180 connections for the two intact land patches. This gives a value for ConnIntact of 47.4%, since 180 of the 380 potential connections are facilitated by intact pathways. Example 1c shows only ten of the PAs are located within a single patch of intact land, while the other 10 PAs are found in nonintact land (as in Supplementary Fig. 1c), then there are only 90 pairs of PAs connected via intact land and hence ConnIntact = 23.7%.
Within our analysis, connectivity is calculated from edge to edge and considers both direct and indirect connections. This means that two PAs are considered connected if they have a direct connection (a single patch of intact land connecting them), as is the case of all PAs in Supplementary Fig. 2b and 2c, but also if they have an indirect connection between them, facilitated by intermediate stepping-stone PAs. The latter is the case of the PAs labelled as X and Z in Supplementary Fig. 2a. PA X and PA Z are not directly connected (it is not possible to move from X to Z through a single continuous pathway of intact land). It is, however, possible to move from X to Y (edge to edge) through a continuous intact land patch, and from Y to Z (edge to edge) through another continuous intact land patch. Therefore, X is connected to Z as quantified by the connectivity analyses and ConnIntact metric here considered. In Supplementary Fig. 2, all the PAs are, in each of these three cases, connected by intact lands and have therefore the same value of the connectivity metric here considered (ConnIntact attains the maximum value of 100% in all these three cases).
We note that PCinter and ConnIntact can be used to evaluate the percentage of the PA pairs that are connected by intact lands, but cannot be used to state in general which PA network is 'best' or 'best' designed. Because PCinter and ConnIntact only consider inter-PA connections, it would be theoretically possible to have lower PCinter and ConnIntact for PA systems that are not more 'poorly connected' than others in certain comparisons. This is illustrated in Supplementary Fig. 3a; the ConnIntact metric, which quantifies how many pairs of PAs are connected (under the simplified case, as this one, in which all PAs have the same area), is equal to zero because the two PAs are isolated (not connected by intact lands). In Supplementary Fig. 3b, the ConnIntact metric is close to 50% (47.4%) because many of the pairs of smaller PAs are 'locally' (within each of the individual intact land patches) connected to each other. This comparison illustrates that, because the ConnIntact metric does not consider the intra-PA connectivity but focuses only in the inter-PA connectivity, it cannot be used to make a judgement about which of the PA systems is best. While ConnIntact is higher in Supplementary Fig. 3b than in Supplementary Fig. 3a, there are no reasons to think that, in general, Supplementary Fig. 3b can be regarded as a better PA system than Supplementary Fig. 3a.
We converted the three conditions dataset to a raster, and snapped to the same resolution (1 km2) and projection (Mollweide) as the HFP dataset. We then used the tabulate area tool in ArcGIS 10.6 to calculate the area of each condition per country or territory.
We tested the sensitivity of our results to the data obtained from the HFP score <4, using two additional HFP thresholds. With a HFP score <1, globally the proportion of connected PAs results in 8.2% rather than 9.7% for a HFP threshold of <4 (1.5% when considering the absolute difference in the proportion of connected PAs globally). When a HFP threshold of <10 is considered instead of <4, the proportion of the area under protection that is connected increases from 9.7% to 43.5% globally. This result does not alter our conclusions appreciably because the percentage of total land considered intact also varies in a similar fashion: 25% of all terrestrial land under <1 HFP threshold, 41.6% of all terrestrial land under <4 HFP threshold, and 74% of all terrestrial land under <10 HFP threshold.
Certain areas change considerably under different HFP thresholds. For example, the increase in the PA structural connectivity for HFP threshold <10 is particularly noticeable in Oceania (from 15.6 to 94.9%) and Russia (from 1.9 to 79%), and increases to more than 30% of PAs connected in Africa, Americas and Asia. This occurs because for this HFP threshold, most of the roads are no longer considered as a barrier, which can influence the movement of some particular species or group of species17. This suggests that the structural connectivity depends also on how species respond to the permeability of the landscape. Therefore, the HFP threshold of <1 might be better to assess the structural connectivity for sensitive species to human activities such as the boreal woodland caribou, yet for species that can move through more human-modified landscapes, such as the American black bear, the HFP threshold of <10 might be more acceptable.

Press Release: Ambition & Equity must frame European Summit
Today will be the biggest decision on climate change that EU leaders make in 2019 so far. ACT Alliance EU calls upon EU leaders to agree an EU net-zero target that will require the Union to reduce emissions greatly and speedily, through greater efficiency and the use of renewable energy, to an extent in line with the 1.5ºC goal of the Paris Agreement. This is an imperative if the world is to have any hope of quelling the ever-worsening impacts of climate change.
With such an important discussion in play, ''I would urge EU countries to keep in mind the recent cyclones that have swept across the Global South; including cyclones Idai, Kenneth and Fani, which have caused an estimated $3.2Billion in damages alone, and cost the lives of over 1000 innocent people[1], [2], [3]. These climatic events are causing untold misery and are leaving the world's poorest countries with billions in debt, a burden that they urgently need support with'' says Floris Faber, Director, ACT Alliance EU.
As such, ''It is imperative that when agreeing the new EU target, that EU leaders also reflect on how this target contributes to the global effort to tackle climate change, and whether it represents the EU's fair-share of global emissions reduction'' says Floris Faber, Director, ACT Alliance EU. Such action should help to strengthen confidence in EU commitments to tackling climate change in an equitable manner.
''Building trust in EU actions ahead of the UNSG Climate Summit will require the EU to commit to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040 and 65% emission reductions by 2030. Net-zero by 2050 is simply not enough: we need a target with transformative change, as soon as possible'' says Floris Faber, Director, ACT Alliance EU.
EU leaders should reflect upon how to support the needs of the most vulnerable, who are already feeling the impacts of climate change the most, despite having contributed to climate change the least. ''Losses and damages that are greater than anyone can possibly adapt to are already ravaging many developing countries and destroying livelihoods. What developing countries need is access to support to help them tackle this challenge'' says Floris Faber, Director, ACT Alliance EU.
What's more, ''The EU must back-up its commitment to a successful replenishment of the Green Climate Fund and ensure that there's an at least re-doubling of global climate finance, which must be provided in a balanced manner between both mitigation & adaptation projects'' says Floris Faber, Director, ACT Alliance EU.

Man accused of stealing medication meant to be delivered to veterans
Eric Flood arrested on third-degree felony charge of controlled substance theft
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man who worked for a carrier service is accused of stealing pain medication from the Jacksonville Veterans Affairs clinic that was meant to be delivered to patients.
Eric Flood, 35, of Jacksonville, was arrested on a third-degree felony charge of controlled substance theft.
According to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrest report, Flood's job was to pick up packaged painkiller medication from the VA clinic on Jefferson Street and then deliver the medication to a commercial parcel carrier service hub so that the medication could be delivered to patients. But investigators said they learned some of that medication never made it to the hub, so they set up surveillance on Flood.
Police said the surveillance operation on the delivery driver revealed he conducted a scheduled pickup of medications from the VA clinic to be delivered to the hub. But during the surveillance, according to the arrest report, Flood made an unscheduled stop on Bulls Bay Highway on the Westside, where detectives said Flood went inside the cargo area of the truck and was then seen making a phone call.
When the truck finally arrived at the carrier service hub and was left parked, according to the report, an undercover detective went into the cargo area of the truck and discovered a package from the VA clinic had been opened and reclosed with tape. According to the report, a bottle of hydrocodone was placed in the tampered package after previously being sealed in a different package at the VA. The detective later discovered a second package that had been opened and closed with tape. According to the report, the second package contained two previously sealed bags that had been opened and the detective noted that medication was missing. Investigators said they discovered the hydrocodone in the first package came from the second package.
Flood was eventually arrested at the hub. The address listed on the report for the location of the arrest shows it's a UPS distribution center.
News4Jax crime and safety expert Ken Jefferson said hydrocodone is in high demand by drug addicts, which is why there is so much pressure to make sure the medication gets to the person who really needs it.
"They're going to watch that particular drug more so than any other drug because that's the No. 1 drug they're concerned with," Jefferson said. "When you're transporting or dealing with hydrocodone, stakeholders have a propensity to watch over it very carefully because they know it's a drug that's highly addictive. They know it's in high demand. ... They know the temptation is there to use them, temptation to sell them. You can make a lot of money off them."
Flood was booked Monday night into the Duval County jail and he was released the next day on $5,000 bond, according to online jail records.
When News4Jax showed up at an address listed as his home Thursday to see if he would tell his side of the story, no one answered the door.
Jefferson said that even though detectives made an arrest, the investigation is far from over.
"How many more of them out there? Is he linked to a group? Is this just an isolated event? They will do their diligence to figure all that out," Jefferson said.
In response to Flood's arrest, a spokesperson for the Veterans Affairs office issued a statement that says, in part: "Ensuring that veterans receive the best care possible is our No. 1 mission. This includes ensuring that they receive the medications that have been prescribed."
According to the VA, if a veteran has not received an ordered medication in the time frame it's normally received, patients should call the VISN 8 Clinical Contact Center at 1-877-741-3400.
The spokesperson said Flood was not employed by the VA. It's unclear if he is still employed as a delivery truck driver.

Adonis Hotel was awesome!! The Staff - Roula, Dimitri, Effie, Anastasia & Memosa were the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff! The Location - perfect! 10 min stroll to Naousa town and beautiful view over piperi beach The Hotel Room - SUPER clean!! Comfy bed & pillows! Our kitchenette was extremely useful too as we were travelling with and 8 month old The Pool - the photos don't do it justice. Perfect for an afternoon dip We've been to Paros 4 times, and we will be staying here on our 5th visit for sure!
I loved everything about Adonis and will definately go back there if I return to Paros. Dimitri and his family are fantastic people and Go way beyond to accommodate their guests.
Nothing it was great, only nitpicking thing I could say was if the pool could be a little cooler.
This property was fantastic, clean and perfectly located for the beach and the town. They were so kind to us here, during our stay I got really sick and Roula took me to the doctor twice while making me feel like someone was looking after me it was really nice. I would 1000% come back.
Air condition was very old and did not chill the room adequately. Refrigerator performance also was not very good.
Dimitri and family were fantastic and helped with everything that we needed. Loved our stay there.
