Obama: Still far from solving police, community issues
By KEVIN FREKING ~ Associated Press
President Barack Obama, joined by Brittany Packnett of the President's Taskforce on 21st Century Policing, right, and Terry Cunningham, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, speaks at a meeting Wednesday at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex about community policing and criminal justice with a group of activists, civil-rights, faith, law-enforcement and elected leaders.
Carolyn Kaster ~ Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- America is "not even close" to where it needs to be in terms of resolving issues between police and the communities they serve, President Barack Obama said after concluding a more than three-hour meeting Wednesday with community activists, politicians and law-enforcement officials.
Obama expressed optimism, however, and said the participants -- who included members of the Black Lives Matter movement -- agreed such conversations need to continue despite raw emotions.
Obama has devoted his attention this week to the gun violence directed at police officers as well as shootings by police. Obama said it would be key to repeat the "kind of respectful conversations we've had here" across the country.
"The conversation that took place around this table is very different than the one that you see on a day-to-day or hourly basis in the media," Obama said.
But Obama also said the "bad news" was that making progress is hard.
"We're not even close to being there yet, where we want to be," he said.
The nearly three dozen people invited to the White House included some police organizations that have little regard for Black Lives Matter, a group they blame for inciting violence against police officers. White House officials acknowledged enhancing the trust that has been frayed in so many communities will be a job for future presidents, but they said Obama was determined to get all sides to commit to steps to improve relations.
Those attending included Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana and Mayor Chris Coleman of St. Paul, Minnesota, two locations where police shootings sparked protests. Mayors from Los Angeles, Newark, New Jersey, and Anaheim, California, also attended. From the administration, Attorney General Loretta Lynch joined the president.
"At a time when our country, when we are talking past each other, the president's convening allowed us to hear one another," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Also on the list were Mica Grimm, with Black Lives Matter Minnesota, and DeRay Mckesson, who was arrested Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a charge of obstructing a highway. Police said Mckesson "intentionally" placed himself in the road after protesters were warned to remain on private property or the curb. Mckesson was released from jail Sunday.
The Rev. Al Sharpton also attended.
"We learned a lot about the shocking emotions that police have going to work every day, and they felt our pain of having to tell our children to be careful of policemen," Sharpton said.
Sharpton said the talk must lead to change. When it comes to shootings by police, "they can't be right every time," he said.
Police groups and activists emerged from the meeting saying they didn't always agree with each other on the issues, but they agreed the meeting was productive and could lead to building trust and improving accountability in police departments.
"From the law-enforcement perspective, we hear it, we understand it," said Terry Cunningham, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "I think that too often we comment about statistics. This isn't about statistics from one side or another. This is about emotion. This is about people's lives. This is about fear in the community, and it's our job to make people safe."
Cunningham said the Dallas Police Department exemplified that commitment to their community when officers used themselves as human shields to protect bystanders from possibly being shot.
Obama also took to Facebook to encourage more participation. "Going forward, I want to hear ideas from even more Americans about how we can address these challenges together as one nation. That means you," Obama said.
He called on people to submit their stories and ideas to go to: go.wh.gov/VDPvKz

This April, approximately 58 different trees were evaluated and affixed with a "tree price tag" as part of a campaign across the City to raise awareness about the many environmental and economic benefits of urban trees. This program is a joint effort with Roanoke Stormwater, Roanoke Parks and Recreation, Roanoke Stormwater and the Roanoke Tree Stewards.
The tree benefits were calculated with i-Tree tools from iTreetools.org (a free set of tools specifically for quantifying tree benefits and values based on research from the USDA Forest Service). The Roanoke Tree Stewards assisted in measuring and calculating each value for each tree. Want to see all of the signs across the City?

Despite the attention paid to the Afrikakorps over the years, it was the numerically far superior forces of the Italian Army that held the line and formed the bulk of the fighting power available to the Axis powers during the War in the Desert from 1941 through to 1943. Their performance has been unfairly criticized over the years – the best units of the Italian Army were equal to those of the British and Germans – but they suffered from a lack of mobility and poor equipment that made it impossible for them to meet mobile British forces on anywhere near equal terms. Despite this, the Italian Army went through many changes through the period, with the introduction of a variety of elite units – armoured, mechanized and parachute divisions that did much to restore the fighting reputation of the Italian soldier in the Desert War.
Osprey Publications Ltd has released Italian Soldier in North Africa 1941-43 by authors Piero Crociani and Pier Paolo Battistelli as Number 169 in their Warrior series. It is a paperback book with 64 pages. Included with the text are black and white photographs, color illustrations by Steve Cook, authors' notes, and detailed captions. It has a 2013 copyright and the ISBN is 978-1-78096-855-1. As the title states, the book discusses the history of the Italian soldier in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 during World War II.
This title details the recruitment, organization and experience of the Italian forces in this theatre, casting new light on a force whose fighting power and capabilities have been unfairly ignored and maligned for too long.
The text in the book is well written and extremely detailed. Authors Piero Crociani and Pier Paolo Battistelli cover the Italian soldier in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 during World War II nicely and with great depth. Piero Crociani and Pier Paolo Battistelli go into great detail in all areas of the book as outlined in the introduction. As I read through the text it was easy to see that the authors spent a great deal of time painstakingly researching and collecting information on the titled area in regards to the Italian soldier in North Africa during World War II. As one would expect the books discusses the various Italian military units, uniforms and weapons as well as actions taken before, during and after various military actions discussed within the covers of this volume. After reading through the volume I could not think of any subject in regards to the Italian soldier in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 that was not covered in great detail in an easy to read, nicely flowing and understandable manner. I personally feel that anyone that reads this book will find themselves well informed in all areas of the Italian soldier in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 during World War II. As I read through the text I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical errors. Grammar and spelling might not be an important factor to everyone however it is something that I take notice of and pass on my findings.
There are a total of 54 black and white photographs featured in this volume. The majority of the photographs are clear and easily viewable, however there are a few that have an out of focus look to them and some appear to be too dark, and some appear too light, which is typical for photographs of that period of time. However this is typical for this period of history and consideration needs to be given to the fact that some of the photographs are several years old and the quality of the photographs is of no fault of the author and do not take anything away from the book and provide a visual guide for the actions described in the book. Authors Piero Crociani and Pier Paolo Battistelli stuck to the title of the book and chose photographs that are specific to Italian soldier in North Africa during the World War II time frame and did not include photographs that strayed from the main subject of the book. I haven't seen a majority of the featured photographs before and I was pleased with this. I definitely consider that a bonus as it is nice to have a reference book that contains several lesser known photographs as opposed to the same old over used photographs that many books tend to contain. The included photographs will prove valuable to the military vehicle, figure and diorama modelers as well as anyone interested in the Italian soldiers in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 during World War II.
A favorite subject of mine is captured/commandeered equipment and weapons. I was very pleased to see that the subject was covered in this book.
There are 8 color illustration plates by illustrator Steve Noon that are very well done and nicely detailed.
This illustration is of an Italian corporal machine-gunner. Shown with the machine-gunner are the 6.5mm Breda 30 light machine gun, machine gun ammunition, barrel changing gloves, Breda 35 and SRCM 35 hand grenades, national cockade and metal badge and lapel badges.
This illustration is of Italian infantry going through tank destruction training by practicing on an Italian M13/40 tank. Some of the anti-tank weapons shown are the Italian SRCM 35 hand grenade, a British ST grenade, an OTO model 42 grenade, a "Pazzaglia' bomb and 'Molotov' cocktails.
This illustration is of an Italian major wearing the uniform most commonly used by the Italian officers in North Africa and he is holding a 9mm Beretta 34 pistol. Also shown are various Italian medals, service bars and tank corps insignia.
This illustration is of Italian infantry advancing under enemy fire. The infantry are armed with an Italian 6.5mm Breda 30 light machine gun and Italian 6.5mm 91 Carcano rifles.
This illustration shows Italian military personnel resting behind the front lines in a secured area. Also shown is a mixed Italian/German military police patrol.
This illustration shows Italian soldiers fighting in a sandbagged trench in action against enemy troops. The Italians are using entrenched 8mm Breda 37 heavy machineguns, 6.5mm Carcano rifles and a 47/32anti-tank gun.
This illustration shows an Italian medical service field hospital and medical personnel. As well as various uniforms shown there is a large assortment of various medical supplies pictured.
1. Italian Bersagliere of the 5° Reggimento Bersaglieri holding a captured British Boys 0.55 Mk I anti-tank rifle.
2. Italian Cavalryman temporarily assigned to traffic control duties.
3. Italian Sergeant of the 80° Reggimento di Artiglieria armed with an Italian model 91, 6.5mm Carcano rifle.
Rank Comparison Chart (Approximate) – This chart compares ranks between the Italian Army (Carabinieri), the British Army and the US Army.
The captions are well written and are very detailed and explain the accompanying photographs in great detail eliminating any doubt as to what is shown and taking place in the accompanying photograph. The details themselves are basically miniature history lessons as they detail what is happening, or happened, in the photographs and give specific detail as to what was done afterword and by who. They cover things such as the units shown, as well as the vehicles, armor, equipment, dates, locations shown and other such pertinent information. As with the text I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical errors as I read through the captions. As I stated before, grammar and spelling might not be an important factor to everyone however it is something that I take notice of and pass on my findings.
All in all I am very impressed with the book. It details the Italian Soldier in North Africa in World War II during the years of 1941 to 1943 well and in depth. This volume will be of great use to the military figure modeler as well as anyone interested in World War II Italian uniforms and weapons and the North African Theatre of Operations. I would have no hesitation to add other Osprey Publishing LTD titles to my personal library nor would I hesitate to recommend this book to others.
Verdict: This is an excellent reference book that details the Italian soldier in North Africa during the Desert War years of 1941 through 1943 during World War II well.
It looks to be a very nice title. I'm happy to see that Osprey didn't reuse the color artwork from their three-volume Men-at-Arms set on the Italian army in WWII. The color plates in this new book are very good looking. I'll be adding this one to my library as soon as my LHS gets in a copy.

Twitter: a fad, not the future of all blogging
Post author By Jason Clarke

No Comments on Twitter: a fad, not the future of all blogging
I am coming out, for the record, against the increasingly popular social networking tool Twitter.
If you're not familiar with it, Twitter is a relatively new web-based service headed by Evan Williams, a founder of pioneering blog engine Blogger. The concept behind Twitter is that you keep in touch with friends– and fans– by posting short "micro-posts" (such as "early night now – paintballing tomorrow!") via your browser or mobile phone. Anybody who subscribes to your updates then receives a constant stream of text messages alerting them to whatever you're doing now or sometime in the near future.
Almost too bizarrely, much of the upper echelons of the blog world have been slowly but surely slathering Twitter with praise over the past few weeks. The din of endless and largely empty accolades reached a fever pitch this week, as thousands of geeks descended on my friend Ben's adopted home of Austin, Texas for the popular South by Southwest (SXSW) film and technology festival.
I've been tangentially aware of Twitter for a few months, and after a couple of different casual passes at the service, I grudgingly signed up over this past weekend, only to awake from my group think-inspired stupor on Sunday to retract my short-lived attempt at using the service.
Lest you judge me for not having tried out Twitter before I come out against it, please understand that I've also never tried cocaine, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it, and I am also opposed to its use as a recreational drug.
So, here is what really bothers me about the Twitter phenomenon:
1) This is not the future of blogging. Okay, fine, we're in a post-blogging world. Agreed. But there are a number of different fascinating directions that blogging is going in, and in my opinion, Twitter is not one of them. In fact, I would argue that although Twitter appears to be similar to blogging– you use a web service to write short posts– the content and the purpose differ dramatically from the act of blogging. So while some aspect of blogging involves navel gazing, the ultimate benefits of the craft result in more shared knowledge, expertise, and opinions on a wide range of topics with either universal (your insight into Middle East politics) or extremely targeted, but nonetheless shared (your passion for a specific type of thermos) appeal. But in my observations, Twitter strips all of that communal knowledge sharing and keeps only the least interesting aspect of blogging: the aimless, devoid sharing of personal details.
If this is about mobile blogging, as some Twitter proponents have opined, then it is my contention that our mobile devices are now clearly failing us, and not our blogging tools. For example, I'd much rather see the proliferation of powerful mobile devices, such as Microsoft's SmartPhones and Apple's iPhone– which encourage full-sentence, full-thought blogging– than I would see blogging technology, and thus trends, develop downward in scope and breadth in order to accommodate our current swath of abysmally bad mobile phones. If you think the average mobile phone is engineered better than, say, the WordPress blogging tool, I'd like to debate you on that issue.
2) There is way too much empty praise going on. Dave Winer wrote of Twitter, "Whenever so many people are so excited about something there must be some substance."
I strongly disagree with that sentiment. Whenever I sense a critical mass of praise over something in a short window of time, I am instantly suspicious of its substance by sheer instinct. Rather than seeing all of this sudden praise as indicative of Twitter's inherent quality, I see it as a symptom of a fairly large problem within the blogging community. It's fad-chasing, pure and simple, and its indicators are all present with Twitter-love: The Constantly Writing About It (check), the Rushing to Institutionalize It (check), the Endless Namedropping Of It (check, ad nauseum).
For material proof of my suspicions, consider well-respected blogger Steve Rubel's recent hedge on the entirely crowd-driven Twitter-craze: "I want to see how Twitter shakes out. It could be a fad."
You can't get much more proof than that: a well-known, well-respected technology blogger publicly demonstrating this point for me. Hence, I argue that a bit more analysis, and a little bit less 'follow-the-leader', are in order with respect to Twitter's emerging influence.
3) Twitter is too clever for its own good. The clever, self-absorbed overtones present on Twitter's website– be it large fonts, error messages crafted in inane human-speak ("So sorry I lost yr filez," etc.) and insular "community" mentalities– are, like most fads, constantly at the risk of looking and feeling extremely dated the very second that they're passed over for whatever the next fad is. It gets to the very nature of the fad: The damningly short period of time from which something is converted from amazing to ridiculous.
So if you've been bitten by the Twitter bug recently, please think about these questions. Are you only using Twitter because technology influentials are takling about it? Is it adding any real value or meaning to your already crowded plate beyond that occasionally comforting feeling of not being left behind by the cool crowd?
You may love Twitter– you may even think it is the Future of All Blogging– but I truly don't, and those are some of the reasons why.
Update, April 13 2007: It's important to note for disclosure that I am now testing the Twitter service at the request of some friends who have urged me to try it in order to gain more perspective on it. I've agreed to do so; you can look in on me at http://twitter.com/jgclarke.

The Benefits of Tesamorelin - Virility Inc.
A synthetic growth hormone releasing (GHRH) peptide, Tesamorelin consists of the same 44 amino acids present in GHRH that is produced by the human body. Originally developed to diminish visceral fat in HIV patients with a condition known as lipodystrophy, Tesamorelin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2010. It has demonstrated the ability to enhance quality of life in both physical and cognitive functions and is on the cutting edge of today's male optimization science.
Tesamorelin works by increasing the IGF-1 levels and binding to GHRH receptors, enabling it to stimulate production with the pituitary gland at a rate that is approximately the same as the body's naturally produced GHRH. Tesamorelin can also lower your level of triglycerides, which reduces the risk of heart disease. It has been shown to be extremely effective in reducing carotid intima media thickness (cIMT), which can help prevent atherosclerotic vascular disease. Tesamorelin also dramatically decreases visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and the amount C-reactive proteins (CRP). Excessive VAT can lead to a number of health problems, including coronary heart disease and diabetes. High levels of C-reactive proteins often indicate the presence of an inflammatory disorder.
Some research studies have shown that low levels of human growth hormone (HGH), GHRH, and IGF-1 can lead to cognitive decline, including a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. In order to facilitate growth and overall development, HGH production reaches its peak during our adolescent years. However, HGH levels begin to decline when we reach age 30. Scientists understand that GHG, IGG-1 and GHRH play key roles in optimizing neurological and cognitive functions.
A 2011 study of 152 adults, comprised of healthy elderly individuals and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), was conducted by the researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The participants self-injected Tesamorelin or a placebo each day before bedtime for 20 weeks. The Tesamorelin injections elevated IGF-1 levels in the bloodstream by an average of 117%, approximately the same levels a healthy younger adult would achieve naturally. The researchers concluded that Tesamorelin boosted both cognition and memory in healthy adults as well as those with MCI.
Tesamorelin is contraindicated for individuals who have cancer or are undergoing treatment for cancer, pregnant women or individuals who have had problems with their pituitary gland.

Q: Mac Terminal (+bash +tmux +set-o vi) missing characters at end of line Often when editing a historical bash command in vi mode (after pressing ↑), and then moving backwards in the text using b. When I begin editing the text after pressing i or a, the extra text I insert pushes the following characters to the right. However, the line length appears fixed, and as characters move right, the line is truncated to the original length of the historical item I am trying to edit.
However, despite these characters being invisible, they are still "there" in the sense that they are executed along with the rest of the command.
Has anyone else ever seen this behaviour or know of a fix?
Note: I am on Mac OS X 10.10.4 using GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14) inside tmux 2.0. Bash is in vi mode using set -o vi.

ASCD – Oh What a Night!
The ASCD conference does not officially start until the morning, but for me, the excitement and energy began last night. I had the pleasure and privilege of having dinner and conversation with the magnificent Art Costa and Benna Kallick; the brilliance behind the Habits of Mind movement.
One of the first lessons I teach students is to create a "Dream Team" which I describe as a group of inspiring, talented, influential individuals that embody the Habitudes. They can be past or present, famous or not, but they have the power to make your life better if you seek to emulate their thinking, habits, mindset, and ways of making a difference in the world.
As a way of helping students conceptualize their "Dream Team", I have students imagine sitting at the table with their Dream Team visualizing the advice and conversation ignited by each member as they look you in the eye and share with you their passion and vision for living a successful life.
This experience became real for me last night as Dr. Costa sat on my right and Dr. Kallick sat on my left. I was introduced their work as an undergraduate and have been impacted and empowered by it everyday since. The Habitudes is my experience withHabits of Mind in action. Being able to share my dream with them was truly surreal!
The conference begins in the morning – what will the new day bring?

The Compassionate City Project: Once we know better, we must do better
By: Mayor Walter Sendzik
Category: In The News
Once we know better, we must do better
By Sara Palmieri
This article originally appeared in Niagara This Week – St. Catharines on April 7, 2017
I am proud to be a part of a Compassionate City that aims to promote dignity, respect and opportunity for all of its residents. I believe that the arts have a key role to play in celebrating diversity and a plurality of cultures, and world views. By extension, I see the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre as a meeting place for this healthy cultural exchange.
As the March Ambassador of the #CompassionateSTC Project, I wanted to make
a conscious effort to better educate myself as I believe that the root of being aware and compassionate, is through education. We hosted three community events at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. The first was a screening of The Red Turtle at The Film House in support of Start Me Up Niagara, an organization that works with individuals facing significant life challenges such as addiction, mental illness, poverty, homelessness and unemployment. Those in attendance made voluntary donations to Start Me Up and learned more about the services that they offer and the amazing work that they are doing in Niagara.
We also hosted two free workshops promoting cultural competency for Indigenous relations within Niagara region, and as Canadians. As our country comes to understand our role in the historical cultural genocide of Indigenous Peoples, I have been personally compelled to awakening and action. I recently came across an opportunity to attend a similar workshop in Toronto and was inspired to find a way to provide a similar workshop for us in Niagara, as starting place for those wanting to learn more about history from an Indigenous perspective and explore the ways in which historical injustices have impacted the Indigenous Peoples of North America (Turtle Island).
With my colleagues Annie Wilson (programming supervisor at the PAC) and Michele-Elise Burnett (Kakekalanicks Consultancy), we were able to engage Gary Parker, a Faithkeeper (a title holder) in the community where he was raised (Tonawanda Seneca Territory). Gary led two Indigenous Cultural Awareness Workshops, which he designed to introduce us to the concept of cultural awareness and to provide non-Indigenous participants with a greater understanding of the issues and challenges facing Indigenous Peoples. It was powerful, emotional, and practical and was overwhelmingly received by over 100 people in attendance over the two workshops.
I am hopeful that members of our community continue to engage with and learn more about the past, present and future of Canada's relationship with our First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. Find out more about some exciting initiatives and projects that we are working by visiting www.FirstOntarioPAC.ca.
I believe that compassion (care + action) can be nurtured through opportunities such as this. Yes, being compassionate does require care + action, but the foundation of that starts with education.
And once we know better, we must do better.
Niagara this Week is proud to support the Compassionate City Project with this first of a monthly series reflecting on the experience of one of the project ambassadors. For more on the Compassionate City initiative, visit www.compassionatestc.ca.

We have more sad news. Sharon Leila Cook, Class of 1969, passed away on Monday, October 17, 2005.
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Sharon Leila Cook ('69) on 10/17/05.
She had a courageous 3 year battle with lung cancer .
Meanwhile, we extend our deepest sympathies to Sharon's family and friends.
Thank you for relating this to us, Donnie.
Thank you so much, Donnie. I'm so sorry I did not find this myself before I left to visit the peninsula.
brother, Harvey ('65) at NNHS.
HAMPTON - Sharon Leila 'Kitty' Cook, a longtime Peninsula resident, passed on Monday, Oct. 17, 2005, at home in the presence of her children. She fought a courageous battle against cancer and has come out the victor. Sharon was born in Elk Pak, N.C. on Jan. 22, 1951. She was the daughter of Jacqueline T. Cook and was preceded in death by Harvey J. Cook Sr. She is survived by her children, Lissa Morris of Hampton, Justin Cropper and Kerry Buchman of Los Angeles, and Melissa Hodge of Hampton; the sister of Richard and Nancy Cook of Palm Bay, Fla., and Harvey J. Cook Jr. and the late Patricia Cook of Navarre, Fla.; her grandchildren, Destiny Morris and Christian Dermandy (due any day now.) From the age of five, she had been a resident of the Peninsula and graduated from Newport News High School in 1969. In 1972, the Newport News Chapter of the American Business Women's Association named her Woman of the Year. In 1978, she accepted the position of President of the Peninsula Apartment Council Association. She continued working in Apartment and Property Management through 2002. At the time of her diagnosis, she was working as an Office Administrator for Monumental Life Insurance in Newport News. Until the time of her illness, she was an active member of Bethel Temple Assembly of God. The family would like to thank the Riverside Hospice nurses who have gone above and beyond their call of duty. We would especially like to thank Marianne Pasake, RN, who was not only Sharon's nurse, but a friend as well. She has become a permanent member of our family; our love and gratitude overflows. Mary Evans was a ray of sunshine every time she visited the house. The family will be celebrating Sharon's life from 11 am. to 4 p.m. Saturday Oct. 22, at Huntington Park, shelter #3 overlooking the water. The family welcomes any and all family and friends to stop by to celebrate and remember Sharon with us. In lieu of flowers, Sharon has requested that donations be made to Destiny Morris' education. Checks or money orders may be mailed directly to Bethel Christian School with attention made to Destiny Morris at P.O. Box 9128, Hampton, VA 23670.
Published in the Daily Press on 10/21/2005.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to each of you during this difficult time. Sharon was a "ray of sunshine". Just take comfort in knowing that she is not in pain any more and that she is in a better place right now. We can picture her beautiful smile as she looks down from heaven on each of you now.
I will remember Sharon as a faithful daughter, mother and grandmother who loved her family. She was so very pleasant and spiritual and brought comfort to her family. You all were good to Sharon and made her final days comfortable, both physically and emotionally.
I believe she has met her newest granddaughter in the spirit.
This is Sherry Hensel. I was telling my husband how I used to spend so much time at your house when we were in elementary school. I remember you brothers "harassing" us all the time : ) Remember I also was the organist for Sharon and Donnie's wedding? We go back a long way. I guess from 1st grade to 12th.
Melissa, I was your nurse at the doctor's office( Sherry Huycke - pronounced "Hike"). I am so, so sorry Sharon had to go through all of what she has in the past few years. I will always remember her sweet spirit and fun-loving ways. Even though we lost touch for a long time, I will never lose touch of the memories spent with her. I loved her and will miss her greatly.
She's not suffering now and is in the presence of Jesus!
You are in our thoughts and in our prayers.
I didn't recognize Sharon Cook's picture, but when I read the obituary and saw Justin Cropper's name, I realized it was the same Sharon Morris I knew back in '71. I met her at the Zodiac Club when I worked there. Bob Cropper was already a friend of mine.....he was in the AF at Langley. I attended their wedding, but didn't really stay in touch after that. It's so sad for anyone to die that young.
It really is, Gloria. Thank you.

Q: how to pass object values in WithMessage function in fluentvalidation I have the following code :
  RuleFor(record => record)
             .Must(WholeObject => Mandatory(WholeObject, keyValuePairs))
            .WithName( X => X.KeyName).WithMessage("KeyValue is mandatory but some values are missing")

         //Here X.KeyValue contains the value.
         //I want to pass this value on error

 private bool Mandatory(Object recObj, Object keyValuePairs)
    {
       //return true or false depeneds on the logic

    }

How do I pass the X.KeyValue in WithMessage?, If there is an error it returns .WithMessage("KeyValue is mandatory but some values are missing") but how do I pass the actual value ?
X contains X.KeyName and X.KeyValue
Note:
X.KeyValue is not a string.
      public class KeyValue
       {
          public List<string> Val { get; set; }
       }

    RuleFor(record => record)
  .Must(WholeObject => SizeOF(WholeObject, keyValuePairs))
            .WithName(X => X.KeyName).WithMessage(x => $"{x.KeyValue.Val[0]} is not in range(min, max) as defined");

unfortunately this prints only the first value. Is it a way to include only the error value?
I used this
 .WithName(X => X.KeyName).WithMessage(x => $"
{x.KeyValue.Val.ToList().ForEach(s => s)} is not in range(min, max) as
 defined");

but this didnot work.
   private bool SizeOF(Entity.EigenData.Record recObj, IDictionary<string, Entity.EigenSchema.AttributeSet> keyValuePairs)
    {
        string strval = recObj.KeyName;
        Entity.EigenSchema.AttributeSet obj = keyValuePairs[recObj.KeyName];
        //if the size falls inbetween min and max

            return recObj.KeyValue.ISSizeWithinRange(obj);

        //string val = obj.KeyValue.ToString();

    }

    public static bool ISSizeWithinRange(this Validation.Entity.EigenData.KeyValue kv, Validation.Entity.EigenSchema.AttributeSet Obj)
    {

        try
        {
            if (kv.Val.Count > 0) //only if List<val> is available go inside the loop
            {
                foreach (string s in kv.Val)
                {
                    //foreach val check if its empty or null, if its empty or null then return false
                    bool True = String.IsNullOrEmpty(s);
                    if (True)
                    {
                        return true;

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        bool False = (Enumerable.Range(Obj.Size.Min, Obj.Size.Max).Contains(s.Length));
                        // if it contains within range then do nothing, return true at the end
                        //if it doesnot fall with in range then return false immediately. No need to check the entire set of values
                        if(!False)
                        {
                            return false;
                        }

                    }

                }
                //if it contains some value then return true

        }
        catch
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

A: Change your code like below:
RuleFor(record => record)
         .Must(WholeObject => Mandatory(WholeObject,keyValuePairs))
        .WithName(X => X.KeyName).WithMessage(x => $"{x.KeyName} is mandatory but some values are missing");

Whole code:
public class Status
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class CustomValidator : AbstractValidator<Status>

    public CustomValidator ()
    {
        RuleFor(record => record)
         .Must(WholeObject => Mandatory(WholeObject,keyValuePairs))
        .WithName(X => X.Name).WithMessage(x => $"{x.Name} is mandatory but some values are missing");

    }

Former beauty queen Shamcey Supsup, GMA network stars Kris Bernal, Thea Tolentino, Ayra Mariano and Marika Sasaki were among the personalities that attended the grand launch of Watsons Philippines' #MeTime campaign held at SM Aura in Taguig City.
The campaign, which is on-going at all branches of Watsons, encourages women, including men, to give themselves the precious gift that they truly deserve —a time for themselves.
"I'm Busy! This is everyone's favorite line. We glorify being busy because we are pressured to achieve a lot, all at once: to climb the corporate ladder, take care of our family's needs, raise children, and manage the household all while curating our lives into a perfect feed on social media," Watsons says in a statement.
Like the top health and beauty brand, Shamcey's husband, Lloyd Lee, encourages her to devote some time for herself especially that they're expecting their second child anytime soon.

A man has appeared in court accused of causing pedestrians to leap out of the way as he drove dangerously through Huddersfield town centre.
Benjamin Watson, of Dalton Fold Road in Rawthorpe, was before Kirklees magistrates yesterday.
He faces charges of dangerous driving and using a vehicle while over the prescribed limit.
The alleged offences took place at 2.30am on May 12.
Watson, 32, is alleged to have been spotted by police driving his Ford Transit van at speed towards King Street.
He is said to have driven the wrong way up the street and onto a pedestrian only area busy with revellers.
Members of the public and a police support officer allegedly had to jump out of his way to avoid being hit.
Watson is said to mounted the pavement near Kirkgate and run through two red lights before being stopped by police on Southgate.
Watson gave no indication as to what his plea to the charges will be.
Magistrates sent his case to Leeds Crown Court, where he will first appear on August 20.
He was granted unconditional bail.

English variant of LILY
Lilly is a particularly secretive and reserved woman who is surrounded by an air of mystery. An introverted individual, she is inclined to much soul searching and is sometimes bothered by worry and anxiety. Very often, she is fascinated by philosophy, spirituality and metaphysics. It is certainly true that more than anything else; Lilly has a gift for analysis and possesses a critical mind which means that she is likely to take an interest in the natural sciences. On the other hand, if she doesn't make use of these faculties through intellectual activity, her acutely sensitive nature could make her prone to depression. She is highly selective about the people that she gets close to and chooses her friends according to the amount of spiritual or cultural affinity that she feels. She is anything but superficial and friendship is sacred, in her eyes. However, she tends to be a more or less solitary character who is rather unusual and sometimes turns this to her advantage. She is extremely intuitive and often experiences gut-feelings or premonitions which could confer her abilities as a medium. She seeks to acquire wisdom, however she is terribly shy and emotional - leaving her somewhat unarmed in the face of reality, which can be challenging at times. She avoids confrontation like the plague and tends to become withdrawn at the slightest emotional shock. This is undoubtedly why she is attracted to groups and movements that share her values and aspirations. As a child, Lilly is emotionally fragile and often lacks vitality. Domestic harmony is necessary to her very equilibrium so a parental disagreement could have disastrous consequences on her happiness. With an active imagination that can sometimes lead to anxiety or inhibition, Lilly is inclined to ask a lot of questions, to which answers must be provided. She is naturally studious and quite disciplined so she could go far in her education, as long as no emotional problems or health issues crop up along the way.
What does she like?
She appreciates privacy and enjoys tranquillity while she is fascinated by psychology, religion, esotericism or any other subject that is out of the ordinary or satisfies her craving for magic and mystery... unless of course she finds herself on more sinuous roads... Romantically speaking, she entertains so many fantasies and imaginings that she often has difficulty making her dreams come true in the material realm. Her marginality could just be a fact that she will have to learn to live with... Lilly is liable to experience solitude - even if it means being "alone together"; unless she chooses a partner with whom she has plenty of common ground, which would be the ideal situation.
Her objectives are less than easy to achieve and her orientation won't be terribly conformist. She is therefore likely to be drawn to a career in connection with avant-garde technology or a specialization (such as robotics, if she chooses a scientific profession); occupations in relation to psychology, parapsychology, medicine as well as those involving night work or unusual hours..., and lastly those where the art of diagnosis is essential, whatever her chosen professional field.

The Community Organizer Vs. The KGB Colonel: Lindsey Graham Breaks it Down
Battle of wills
07.21.2014 | News | Matt Fox |
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) can often get a little mushy on days after he's spent too many hours hanging around John McCain. But when he's on point, man does Graham know how to stick it to the Obama administration. During his latest stinging rebuke of White House policy towards Russia, Senator Graham described the crisis on NBC's Meet the Press as a "battle of wills" between The KGB Colonel and our Community Organizer-in-Chief. Lest there be any confusion, "The Colonel is winning," declared Graham.
And that's not all. Asked about the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Graham didn't hold back there either. Here he is, firing away at the "King of Indecision," Barack Obama, and saving some love for John Kerry as well, describing Kerry's earlier Meet the Press appearance as "the most ridiculous and delusional summary of American foreign policy I could imagine":
Boom! Like I said at the top, Lindsey can be hard to stomach on some issues — immigration, anyone? — but he makes up for it in spades when he comes out swinging like this.
Fox has history in broadcasting that spans two decades. From his early days as an FM host and club DJ in the mid-90′s to his later experiences in political talk radio, he has always had a knack for combining topical news with his love for popular culture. Those experiences culminated in his position as executive producer for several radio shows featured in the TALKERS Heavy 100. Originally from New York, Fox has made the great pilgrimage down to sunny south Florida.

Pyridocarbazoles when ligated to transition metals yield high affinity kinase inhibitors. While batch photocyclizations enable the synthesis of these heterocycles, the non-oxidative Mallory reaction only provides modest yields and difficult to purify mixtures. We demonstrate here that a flow-based Mallory cyclization provides superior results and enables observation of a clear isobestic point. The flow method allowed us to rapidly synthesize ten pyridocarbazoles and for the first time to document their interesting photophysical attributes. Preliminary characterization reveals that these molecules might be a new class of fluorescent bioprobe.

Charitable donations help support medical education, physician health and excellence in practice
Shenel (Franklin) Heisler
Medical student Shenel (Franklin) Heisler, received the 2016 $1,000 Myrtle Siegfried, MD, and Michael Vigilante, MD, Scholarship available to first-year medical students who are residents of Berks, Lehigh, or Northampton counties. She attends the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Pictured below on her wedding day with Lt. Andrew Heisler, a supply officer in the Navy. He is currently deployed on the USS Truxtun.
Shenel Heisler said, "During my undergraduate education I started to work in different health care settings which made me realize that I wanted to become a physician. The time doctors spent learning about the human body in every way allowed them to use an exponential amount of information to treat their patient in the best possible form. By committing to be a physician, they were committing to a career of lifelong education that would continuously improve the life of others."
To help local medical students offset the cost of education, former Foundation trustee, Elena Pascal, and her sister, Carla Vigilante, established this scholarship in 1999 in memory of their parents who were Allentown physicians. Pascal said, "Shenel embodies the spirit of the way my parents cared for patients."
Heisler said, "This scholarship means so much to me. Originally being from the Lehigh Valley, I have had first-hand experience with the wonderful providers that work in the area. To meet Dr. and Mrs. Pascal who already work in this area, and to hear firsthand from them how much their parents loved to provide for their patients, makes me feel truly honored."
Narrowing down her two specialty, she said, "I'm leaning towards OB/GYN or pediatrics. Every day I seem to lean more and more towards pediatrics. I truly love helping children! We will see if my decision is the same once I get to clinical rotations. I plan on entering every rotation with an open mind, because you never know what you will like! But at the moment my gut is telling me that I will end up being in the pediatric field."
She encourages others to apply for scholarships through the Foundation and as far as medical school, she offers this advice: "Work hard, and pursue this dream for the right reasons. If you are truly interested in helping people for the rest of your life, I feel that this is a great way to do it. Have perseverance, and do not doubt yourself. There will certainly be some bumps in the road, but as long as you are willing to put the time and effort in, you can do it!"

Why Is The IPod Classic 160 GB Silver Really That Popular?
Friday, August 5th, 2011 at 8:20 am
In the following paragraphs let us look at different facets pertaining to IPod Classic 160 GB Silver. Let us take note of several consumer reviews and info about any conversations about the products. We shall furthermore consider the features and benefits. You can find normally a downside to virtually all commercially made products and so we will in addition study any potential disadvantages of IPod Classic 160 GB Silver and note when they are important or simply those that can be anticipated with this type of item.
Just about everyone has heard of the iPod and most individuals have had or still have a minimum of one version of the iPod. Personally, I invested in the touch and also the iPod classic both. Despite the fact that the touch offers quite a bit more functions the fact that my classic can save 160 GB of data causes it to be my favorite. On this page I'm going to be going over a few things this unit offers to its owners.
The very first huge advantage of this unit ought to be self explanatory. That's right, the 160 GB storage is something that most individuals including myself love about this device. As of right now I have over 10,000 songs on mine and in addition just over 50 movies. Although this would virtually fill up my iPod touch, I still have around 85 GB of free space left on this device. Which once more, makes this the clear option when it comes to a product that can provide a good amount of storage.
If you were to merely keep videos on the product you will be surprised to know that you can literally keep more than 200 hours of video. I have a brother that purchased one of these just to have something to kill time when he is traveling for his job. He went and loaded his device with over 100 movies so he always has entertainment when he travels. Naturally once he has worn out a motion picture he can easily delete it and add a new one.
I really hope the details here in this post dealing with IPod Classic 160 GB Silver is proving to be helpful. I highly recommend you keep reading for more details and ratings of the popular features of this device. You will find what other other consumers thought about it as well as hear helpful thoughts and opinions to support your resolution.
You may also be amazed by the quantity of music that you will be allowed to store on this unit. One of the individuals I know runs a DJ service and he uses a couple of these devices for his shows. I was genuinely surprised myself to discover that just one of these iPods can store around 40,000 songs. If each and every song is about 3 minutes long, that has worked out to be 2,000 hours of songs. That equals 12 hours each day for 166 days you could listen to your music before you have got to listen to the same song again. That truly is more storage than anybody may ever use, but it's good to know that it is actually there.
However this is not restricted to video and music since you can also hold pictures on it. Some men and women love their photos and you can keep up to 25,000 photos on this iPod. Another thing you can do with this particular unit is to use it to show slide shows of your images on your TV. You can also take the pictures and set them up to play along with music and transitions using iTunes.
Needless to say this is, in my opinion, one of the best iPods these people have made. You can easily buy this unit on Amazon and save a little bit of money off of the retail price. The buying price of $229 is what you can order this particular unit for on Amazon and they also provide free shipping on this item. For anybody looking to upgrade or maybe get your first iPod this is defiantly worth having a look. Even though it is more costly than some of the other iPods it is in fact cheaper than the iPod touch and has considerably more storage.
Because you've gone through this article I trust you will now be ready to make an informed final decision on if you should pick a IPod Classic 160 GB Silver. You'll discover advantages and disadvantages merchandise available. You should look at most of these aspects thoroughly and decide the importance of any key or unimportant subjects people are finding while using the product. For the most part product ranges include things with a variety of functions, a number may perhaps be helpful to some folk and many usually will not, conditional on particular kind of desires. Which means you need to appraise the many popular features of IPod Classic 160 GB Silver to take into consideration, leading up to your investment, if they are going to be of great benefit to you personally. In that case you'll get links here to make a safe purchase of a IPod Classic 160 GB Silver at the most competitive rate with free shipping and delivery from a guaranteed honest vendor.
The Latest iPod Nano And Camera Available Now
Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
The iPod nano is a wonderful strain of those classic media players which has definitely come into its own during the past year or so. When once it appeared like a lesser version of the bigger iPod Classic, currently the Nano is an amazing product as its self. In truth, that seems to have been the remit with Apple products in current times - produce every one unique instead of a bigger or smaller copy of the first.
Things improved at first when Apple added the accelerometer to the iPod nano, just as is featured in the iPhone and iPod Touch. This permitted for wide-screen viewing of videos and greater functionality. The nano eventually seemed to be catching up with the rest of the line, and was released in a variety of colours, it was a huge seller for the Apple business.
And now, the latest upgrade to these marvellously flexible little players is the arrival of an in-built camera and mic. You can now make video in both landscape and portrait formats and easily sync the files to your PC via iTunes, and are able to then make them available to others online at YouTube or elsewhere at other video sharing websites.
As always, the interface is straightforward and clean, making it really easy indeed to capture those special moments that life continues to fling at you. There is a genius function there too, which is a personal favorite of all the software upgrades Apple have made recently.
The new nano also has a built-in FM tuner and has the capability to hold and pause live broadcasts. The radio feature also encompasses a cool function where your iPod will let you see the info on each track as you hear it via the radio broadcast. The new nano is only one of the great ways in which Apple have been making their products more open to folks who need something truly useful and fun in their pocket. You can easily find the brand new iPod nano here on-line in whatever colour you prefer!

No one can fault the homeowner for wanting to take a DIY approach their home improvement project. The satisfaction of working on your own home and the idea of potentially saving a few bucks help fuel DIY dreams. Usually, that's fine. But when it comes to major residential remodeling or renovations, those projects are usually best left in the hands of a professional.
One of the major issues that DIYers tend to forget at the outset of their project is that, naturally, they don't know what they don't know. They've likely never done what their about to undertake. That's a frightening prospect. They don't know what lies behind their walls and they're not sure what to do when they find out. Therein lies their downfall. It's easy to watch a YouTube video of someone working on their home, and there are plenty of helpful, educational videos that homeowners should check out, but when it comes to major home improvements or renovations, do yourself and your family a favor…call a professional.
Sometimes we'll get a call from a homeowner who has begun their home improvement project but is unable, for whatever reason, to finish it. This happens frequently on DIY projects. The homeowner get underway with the best of intentions but inevitably either materials get more expensive than were estimated, they run into a technical challenge or they simply don't have the time to commit to getting the project done. The results are the same: a half-finished project done half-right. Then they call a professional.
Few things in life are as important as the safety of each of us and our families. It is estimated that 20% of all DIY projects in America end in personal injury. Those are not good odds. When you hire a professional, you let him and his staff assume the risk for any safety issues. While it may not see like a big deal initially, just ask the homeowner who ended up in the emergency room how he feels now about hiring a professional.
Of course, there are also things done to the home that can prove unsafe if not properly. From understanding load-bearing walls and basic architecture, to the floors we walk on, the materials being used and the venting of potentially dangerous gasses, modern and professional home improvement and remodeling is so much more than just a few guys swinging hammers. If you want the job done right, then you need to hire a pro.
Considering these potential pitfalls should at least leave most homeowners thinking carefully about whether a DIY approach to their home improvement project is truly the best approach. It may be, but often times homeowners are better off with a professional who has the necessary experience and expertise to do the job correctly, on time and on budget. Would you really want anyone other than a professional working on your home?
