The following biography of Eric Berne is adapted from multiple sources. Family recollections, stories, photographs, and letters were used to compile this information. In addition, biographical data from the International Transactional Analysis Association was also consulted. A comprehensive biography of Eric Berne written in 1984 was also used as a source, although the authors used the same family members as sources who wrote this biography! Occasionally, internet searches include the search terms Eric Bern, Erik Berne, Erik Bern, Eric Burn, Erick Berne, Eric Berner, and others. All of those refer to the one and only Dr. Eric Berne.
Eric Berne was born on May 10, 1910 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as Leonard Bernstein. He was the son of David Hillel Bernstein, MD, a general practitioner, and Sarah Gordon Bernstein, a professional writer and editor. His only sibling, his sister Grace, was born five years later. The family immigrated to Canada from Poland and Russia. Both parents graduated from McGill University in Montreal. Eric was close to his father and spoke fondly of how he accompanied his father, a physician, on medical rounds. Eric later recounted stories of travelling on a horse-pulled sleigh on ice in the cold Montreal winters with his father to visit patients.
Unfortunately, Dr. Bernstein died of tuberculosis at age 38. Mrs. Bernstein then supported herself and her two children working as an editor and writer. She encouraged Eric to follow in his father's footsteps and to study medicine in Montreal. He received an M.D. and C.M. (Master of Surgery) from McGill University Medical School in 1935, receiving high marks and accolades from the medical faculty.
Eric came to the United States in 1935 when he began his internship at Englewood Hospital in New Jersey. After completing his one year internship in 1936, he began his psychiatric residency at the Psychiatric Clinic of Yale University School of Medicine, where he worked for two years. Around 1938-39, Berne became an American citizen and shortened his name from Eric Lennard Bernstein to Eric Berne. His first appointment post-residency was as a Clinical Assistant in Psychiatry at Mt. Zion Hospital in New York City. He held this position until 1943 when he went into the Army Medical Corps. In addition to his post in New York City, Berne had established a private practice in Norwalk, Connecticut. Norwalk is approximately 30 minutes from Yale University. It was in Norwalk where he met and married his first wife, Ruth, with whom he had two children. Ellen Berne was born in 1942 and Peter Berne born in 1945. A very unique research paper written by Eric Berne and his dentist Dr. Norman Feitelson DDS of Westport, CT was published in 1941 and is evidence of Eric's time in this area of Connecticut.
In the Jorgensen biography of Eric Berne, Ruth is referred to as "Elinor." This was done by the Jorgensens to protect the identity of Ruth. In fact, it was written in the NOTES of that book: "We have used the pseudonyms of "Elinor" and "McRae" to protect the privacy of Berne's first wife." Berne's first wife was born Ruth Harvey near Chicago, IL. After divorcing Eric, she remarried and changed her name to Ruth Manning. She divorced Mr. Manning and lived the rest of her life as Ruth Manning. She remained a resident of Westport, CT where she had lived with Eric in the early 1940s up until her death in 2006.
Eric and Ruth were married on October 24, 1942, nearly 4 months after the birth of daughter Ellen. From 1940-1943 he also commuted from his Westport home to practice concurrently in New York City. In 1941 he began training as a psychoanalyst at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and became an analyst with Paul Federn.
Due to World War II, there was significant demand for army psychiatrists. Eric Berne served as a psychiatrist from 1943-46 in the Army Medical Corps, starting as a First Lieutenant and rising to Major. His assignments included Spokane, Washington, Ft. Ord, California and Brigham City, Utah. During the later two years he practiced group therapy in the Psychiatric wards of Bushnell General Hospital in Brigham City. Eric was discharged from the army in 1946 and at approximately the same time he became divorced from Ruth. After the divorce, Eric decided to relocate in Carmel, California, an area he had fallen in love with when stationed at nearby Fort Ord. His ex-wife Ruth and his two children Ellen and Peter stayed behind in Westport, CT. In the 1946-7 time, he completed writing The Mind in Action and signed a contract for its publication with Simon and Schuster of New York. That same year he resumed his psychoanalytic training that he had begun in New York City prior to the War at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. In 1947 he began to work with Erik Erikson; their working relationship lasted for two years.
Soon after beginning analysis with Erik Erikson, Eric Berne met a young woman Dorothy de Mass Way. Berne instantly fell in love with her, but Erikson said Eric could not marry until after finishing his didactic analysis. Berne completed that portion of his training by 1949 and then the two were married and set up home in Carmel. Dorothy brought three children to the marriage, and she and Eric eventually had two sons of their own, Ricky and Terry. Eric Berne loved the father role, relishing in his large group of offspring and tending to be overly permissive and a nurturing parent more often than an authoritarian one. However, his writing was always important. He had an isolated study built at the far end of his large garden, well out of earshot of his youngsters. In that study he did most of his writing between 1949 and 1964, when he and Dorothy divorced on the friendliest of terms. Eric remained only on light speaking terms with his first wife Ruth Manning but made sure he saw his two children Ellen and Peter who would spend 2 weeks with him every summer in Carmel.
During these important years in Carmel, CA, Eric kept up a demanding pace of research, teaching, and of clinical responsibilities. In 1949, he was admitted as a Fellow in the American Psychiatric Association. He took an appointment in 1950 as Assistant Psychiatrist at Mt. Zion Hospital, San Francisco, and simultaneously began serving as a Consultant to the Surgeon General of the US Army. Then, in 1951, he accepted a position of Adjunct and Attending Psychiatrist at the Veterans Administration and Mental Hygiene Clinic, San Francisco. These three appointments were in addition to his private practices in both Carmel and San Francisco.
Probably the most significant traces of the origins of transactional analysis are contained in the first five of six articles on intuition Berne wrote beginning in 1949. Already, at that early date, when he was still working to gain the status of psychoanalyst, he dared to defy Freudian concepts of the unconscious in his writings. When he began training in 1941 at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute with Paul Federn, and later when he resumed his training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, Eric Berne obviously believed that becoming a psychoanalyst was important. However, in the end that coveted title was withheld; his 1956 application for membership was turned down with the verdict that he wasn't ready, but, perhaps after three or four more years of personal analysis and training he might reapply. For Eric the rejection was galvanizing, spurring him to intensify his long-standing ambition to add something new to psychoanalysis.
With that "rejection" in hand, Berne set to work, determined to develop a new approach to psychotherapy by himself. Before 1956 was out, he had written two seminal papers based on material read earlier that year at the Psychiatric Clinic, Mt. Zion Hospital, San Francisco, and at the Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Clinic, U.C. Medical School: "Intuition V: The Ego Image": and "Ego States in Psychotherapy." Using references to P. Federn, E. Kann, and H. Silberer, in the first article Berne indicated how he arrived at the concept of ego states and where he got the idea of separating "adult" from "child." In the next article he developed the tripartite scheme used today (Parent, Adult, and Child), introduced the three-circle method of diagramming it, showed how to sketch contaminations, labeled the theory, "structural analysis" and termed it "a new psychotherapeutic approach." The third article, titled "Transactional Analysis: A New and Effective Method of Group Therapy," was written a few months later and presented by invitation at the 1957 Western Regional Meeting of the American Group Psychotherapy Association of Los Angeles. With the publication of this paper in the 1958 issue of the American Journal of Psychotherapy, Transactional Analysis, the name of Berne's new method of diagnosis and treatment, became a permanent part of the psychotherapeutic literature. In addition to restating his concepts of P-A-C, structural analysis, and ego states, the 1957 paper added the important new features of games and scripts. Berne went on to publish Games People Play in 1964 where he introduced games and Transactional Analysis.
From the beginning, Eric Berne used his regular Thursday evening clinical seminars in Monterey as a testing ground for his new theory and methods. In 1950-51 he began a Tuesday evening seminar in San Francisco; this became incorporated in February 1958 as the San Francisco Social Psychiatry Seminars in order to handle funds required for the publication of the Transactional Analysis Bulletin, which first appeared in January 1962 with Berne as editor. In 1964 Berne and his San Francisco and Monterey seminar colleagues decided to create a Transactional Analysis Association, naming it the International Transactional Analysis Association in recognition of the growing number of Transactional Analysis professionals outside the USA. The new organization was designated successor to the San Francisco Social Psychiatry Seminars, and the San Francisco seminar changed its name to the San Francisco Transactional Analysis Seminar in recognition of the fact that it was only one of the many branches of the ITAA.
The years from 1964 to 1970 were restless ones for Berne. After his second divorce his personal life became chaotic as he longed to find another mate. His frustration in this area led him to work longer hours at his writing, but when he did remarry Torre Peterson in 1967, he did not give up any of his increasingly complex writing commitments. By early 1970 he was once again divorced. In June, 1970, Berne suffered the first of two heart attacks. A few weeks before the first heart attack, on May 10, his 60th birthday, Berne had told his friends how well he felt. He had just sent his manuscript of What Do You Say After You Say Hello to Grove Press, and was pleased about how it had turned out. He actually allowed himself some weekends of pure play, with no writing. However, on June 26, he suffered sharp pains that went through his chest and back which turned out to be caused by a heart attack. He was hospitalized and was making a slow recovery but three weeks later, while working on the galleys of What Do You Say After You Say Hello in his hospital bed, he suffered another heart attack this time a massive one, which caused his death. Eric died on July 15, 1970. Eric Berne is buried at the El Carmelo Cemetery in Pacific Grove, California. Pictures and information on his gravesite can be found here.
In 2010, the ITAA held it's annual conference in Montreal to celebrate 100 years of Eric Berne. Information on the conference can be found here.
This page shows recent photos of Eric Berne's home in Carmel, California. Included are pictures of his writing study and his typewriter where he wrote Games People Play.
Eric was apparently a fan of the works of the Greek Born artist Jean Varda who spent much of his time in Sausalito and Monterey. See an original collage that Berne picked out himself.
Eric had two children with his first wife, Ruth Manning. They are Ellen and Peter. Eric had two children with his second wife Dorothy (Terry and Ricky) and two stepchildren (Robin and Janice). Eric had a third stepchild with Dorothy who passed away as a teenager. Of Eric's four children with whom he had a blood relationship, Ellen Berne is now deceased and had been a library director in Boston, Massachusetts. Peter Berne lives in Berlin and is an accomplished musician and opera coach. Ricky Berne lives in Alaska and is a retired pilot from America West Airlines. Terry Berne lives in Madrid and is a writer.
Eric ended up with only 2 blood grandchildren. Both are children of his daughter Ellen. Anna Calcaterra lives in Atlanta. Nicholas Berne Calcaterra is a dentist and practices dentistry in Orange, CT. He maintains a blog on dentistry called Directions in Dentistry.

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is famous for centuries-old architecture and rich culture with the influence from Southeast Asia, China, and France. With more than 1000 years of civilization, from Thang Long time to present, It has always been the largest cultural center of the country with a lot of material and non-material relics. This is the land producing many legends, folk songs, proverbs, heroes and folk festival. What makes Hanoi especial is its diverse culture and various cultural activities, which makes it a famous and beloved destination for tourists when coming to Vietnam. If you're still wondering what is worth doing in this place or confused because of fragmented information, this article is what you need. In order to help you have the best and unforgettable experiences in the city, this article will suggest you the best things to do when visiting Hanoi. So now let's explore it with us!
Hoan Kiem Lake is a famous icon of Hanoi, which is about 500 meters from the center of Old Quarter. This is a favorite place of the locals as well as tourists because it gives the tranquil and comfortable feel in the bustling city. In the morning, the locals come here to do morning exercise and jog. In the evening, the lake is brightening up with colorful lights and becomes an attractive spot with a lot of activities. What is more, Hoan Kiem Lake is at its best from Friday to Sunday night because all traffics are banned at that time so that you can leisurely walk around the lake and enjoy the beauty of Hanoi.
St Joseph's Cathedral was built with the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. The cathedral has a lot of imitation of the Notre Dame de Paris. This is a religious place of many Catholics in Hanoi and also a tourist attraction to many domestic and foreign visitors. Built in the French colonial period, the Cathedral is a typical colonial-style architecture in Hanoi.
This ice cream brand was founded in 1958 and has the name Trang Tien Ice Cream because it is made and sold at Trang Tien Street. The delicious and perfect taste of the ice cream will make you want more. Additionally, what can be better than walking around Hanoi Old Quarter with a corn of ice cream?
Coffee shop is not only where you enjoy coffee but also the getaways from the hustle and bustle of the daily life. In Hanoi, it is not too difficult to find a coffee shop at its every street and alley. If you are finding a place to work or you are interested in observing and watching the day passing by, you should choose some famous and kind of "mainstream" coffee shops, which are located right at some streets like The Coffee House, Cong Cafe, etc. But if you prefer more personal space, alongside with unique decoration, those deep into the alleys are definitely your ideal places. Music, or sometimes live music, is followed, as well.
As mentioned above, Vietnamese cuisine is really surprising and it is such a pity not to try those delicious dishes when you come to Vietnam. However, learning to cook Vietnamese dishes may even seem more interesting, especially when you are a cooking lover. Recently, it is becoming increasingly familiar and there are many cooking courses offered to tourists, especially foreigners. Most classes involve market tours in order to bring you the experience to explore the Vietnamese local life.
Tea has been a familiar piece of Hanoi culture. Normally, it is served in both hot and iced tea, but iced tea is more popular. Besides, lemon tea is a good choice in case you prefer something sweeter. Snacks like sunflower seeds and peanut candy are also available on the menu.
The area around Hoan Kiem Lake and St. Joseph's Cathedral where you can admire the great views and talk with friends, tasting every sip of your tea, is the most famous and ideal for this kind of drink. It is not too difficult to come across a group of friends talking together over some lemon tea and sunflower seeds on a summer night, or some elderly men sitting in a narrow side of the pavement, sipping their hot tea on a typical Hanoi cold day. Those simple things make this city "Hanoi" in its own way.
Many travelers are interested in making friends with the people they met on the journey. As a matter of fact, meeting the locals helps you understand deeply the culture of the place, as well as provide you authentic and memorable experiences. Hence, do not hesitate in talking to a girl you met at a pub or a coffee shop, the guide or the host family. Traveling is not greater than ever.
Homestay has become a popular choice of accommodation for travelers because of their convenience, low price, and warm space the hosts bring up. As a tourist city, there are a number of homestays in Hanoi, which offer a wide range of service levels for you to choose from. It is absolutely great to have a meal and talk with the hosts and acknowledge the ordinary life with those very local friends or else, chilling in the well-decorated room in a Hanoi cold day is really worth your while. Recently, many people in Hanoi choose this kind of accommodation as their ideal getaways to relax on weekends.
Cyclo, as you may not know, is called Vietnamese "bicycle taxi". Although it is faster and more convenient to travel by other means of transports, taking a cyclo tour around Hanoi may be an unforgettable experience when you are in Hanoi. A typical tour usually lasts 1 hour, providing you a ride around the Old Quarter of Hanoi or other must-sees like Hanoi Opera House, Hanoi Citadel, Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, etc, as well as the close-up views of Hanoi and stories by the rider. You can easily find many riders in the area of The Old Quarter and make a deal with them to arrange a tour. However, it is our advice that you should book a tour from some operator in order not to be over-charged.
Ao dai – the national costume of Vietnam – is a highlight in Vietnamese fashion, which follows both traditional and temporary styles, symbolizing for Vietnamese feminine beauty. Traveling to Hanoi, you can easily get yourself a set of Ao dai by buying or renting to take beautiful photos. Hoan Kiem Lake, Long Bien Bridge and some attractions of Hanoi are the ideal places to capture your moments.
Hanoi is well-known for the "12 flower seasons". Every time in Hanoi, you can easily find a peddler riding a bicycle selling cut-fresh flowers. It could be the lotus or a bunch of tiny daisies. That could be such a sweet gift for your girlfriend or your wife.
Bargaining is truly a part of Vietnamese culture that you can easily see when going to markets. Though some local people consider it as a way of entertainment, we think that it is a necessary skill for foreign travelers when coming to Vietnam in order not to be overcharged. You should bargain each price in the markets, but remember to do it with politeness and humor. Walking away and acting as if you do not want that object anymore is a tool of bargaining. However, sometimes do not expect anyone to accept your price. It is just a shopping experience.
Today, many young Hanoians travel to Ba Vi National Park on weekend to take their soul to nature. In Ba Vi, you can climb the mountains, take photos, visit some famous sites, and even relax in beautiful and convenient villas. It is such a great experience to travel by motorbike from Hanoi to Ba Vi National Park due to its adventurous but exciting journey.
Massage is a way to relax after traveling hours. In Hanoi, there are many spas offering Vietnamese, Thai and Swedish massages. It is fairly easy to find one!
Hanoi is famous for not only a number of tourist sites but also for its unique cuisine, especially those sold by the vendors. Once you travel to this city, do not miss the chance to join a Hanoi street food tour because you will have the chance to enjoy tasty dishes of Hanoi. This kind of tour may include local travel guide or not. Some try-worthy specialties are Bun dau mam tom (rice vermicelli with tofu and shrimp paste), Bun Cha (Kebab rice vermicelli, Bun thang (Rice vermicelli with pork, chicken and eggs), Bun Oc (Snail rice vermicelli), Banh Duc (Vietnamese plain rice flan), Quay nong (Vietnamese cruller), etc. Normally, these dishes are affordable, thus, try to taste as many as possible.
Built in the late nineteenth century and completed in the twentieth century, Long Bien Bridge has witnessed many attacks ravaging the capital Hanoi of the French empire. The bridge also contributes to the people and our army transporting weapons and food for the war. Until now, the bridge has been renovated many times but still retains the original features. The bridge is just over 2.3 km long so visitors can walk or go by bike to enjoy the view of the Red River, watch the barges floating underneath.
This is one of the gates of Hanoi capital which still remains until now. As time goes by, the gate stands still with time, witnesses many important historical events of the country as well as the ups and downs of Ha Thanh people.
You should take a moment to visit Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam, the first university in Vietnam, where there are many interesting things for you to explore. Temple of Literature was built in October 1070, by King Ly Thanh Tong. In 1076, King Ly Nhan Tong founded the Quoc Tu Giam, next to the Temple of Literature. This is the first university in Vietnam. Initially, the school was dedicated to the children from the royal family. Later, in 1253, King Tran Thai Tong acquired all the ordinary children with excellent academic qualities.
This is the final resting place of the greatest father of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh President, who devoted his whole life to Vietnamese. The construction of Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum started on August 29, 1975. The mausoleum consists of three floors with the height of 21.6 meters and the width of 41.2 meters. Around the mausoleum are gardens where over 250 plant species from all parts of the country.

Coming to the temple, you can learn about the history of Hanoi associated with the Hoan Kiem Lake and view the entire Hoan Kiem Lake with Turtle Tower.

Flight 1549: When Greed Replaces Gratitude
Jane Chastain	Faith	 January 29, 2009 3 Minutes
On January 15, the world watched in awe as all 155 passengers and crew from a downed US Airways jet were rescued from the Hudson River in New York in record time. One passenger was briefly hospitalized with two broken legs but, miraculously, there were no serious injuries.
It was a great cause for celebration. However, this celebration may be short lived.
While most of the passengers are grateful just to be alive and will greet each new day with the kind of appreciation that only comes from having lived through a harrowing experience, others are looking to "cash in."
The question is who is really to blame?
While the NTSB is in the process of investigating the accident, it appears that a large flock of geese struck the airliner and stalled the engines. According to news reports, some 30 to 45 seconds after takeoff, the pilots reported a double-bird strike. The controller sent the aircraft back toward LaGuardia but the pilot then asked to land at Teterboro Airport. There was silence as Captain Sullenberger assessed the situation and then made the decision to put the plane down in the river.
In doing so, the captain lost the airliner but saved the lives of everyone on board. With two dead engines and the possibility of landing at Teterboro – or not, – Sullenberger was unwilling to take a risk that could have ended in disaster.
The captain made a perfect water landing. Emergency and commuter craft rushed to the scene and in about five minutes all were rescued.
You would think those fortunate passengers would be praising the good Lord to whom they reportedly were praying before their aircraft hit the water, but no, some are looking to sue for damages well beyond their bumps and bruises.
Whom do you sue, the geese? No payoff there.
Perhaps they could sue God, yes, the big man himself. The Bible says He created all things, is omnipresent, knows all things. God could have informed air traffic control of the flight plan of those geese, but He didn't.
Who is brave enough to take on the great I Am?
US Airways has done everything possible to assist these passengers, arranging flights, even sending a letter of apology and a $5,000 check to help "with immediate needs." Meanwhile, the airline's insurance claims specialists are contacting each passenger to make sure everyone is reimbursed for all loses.
Could there be a better outcome for these passengers if this simply was, as it appears to be, an unfortunate experience? Nevertheless Kreindler & Kreindler, a New York law firm, reports that it has been contacted by several passengers. Another passenger, Joe Hart, told USA Today that he's talked to a lawyer in North Carolina but hasn't decided whether to take legal action. Hart wants to "see how things play out with US Airways."
If it was a bird strike, what part does Mr. Hart think the airline played in all this besides saving his life?
Hart says that he is concerned about having trouble flying (he's already taken six flights). Nevertheless, he says he's been nervous and says he "would like to be made whole for the incident." How do you spell post-traumatic stress disorder?
It is true that this plane had a problem with one of the engines two days earlier which was identified as an "air compression stall." The crew reported that they fixed the problem and continued the flight. This may or may not be related. However, air compression stalls are sometimes caused by — guess what – birds. It's that time of year. I'm a pilot and, last week, I counted 35 geese on my runway at one time. This is a major problem that exists twice a year when birds are migrating.
Airline engines should survive a bird strike, but not always.
If those birds were to blame for this incident while try to milk the airline? It drives up the cost of air travel and hurts everyone. If a deer runs out in front of your car causing an accident, do you sue the automobile company?
My advice to Mr. Hart and others who are considering legal action is this. Thank the good Lord, who appears to have orchestrated this event for the good of all concerned. Write "thank you" notes to the captain and some of the people who pulled you to safety and took care of you after the accident and . . . get over it!
It is rare for anyone to get through life without a mishap or two. Some of those mishaps are more dramatic than others and, let's face it, some of us need such a wake-up call. Heed it!

6 thoughts on "Flight 1549: When Greed Replaces Gratitude"
Larry Dorazio says:
As the old saying goes, "A good landing is any landing you can walk away from".
Those who are foolish enough to let greed take over will pay for it in the end with a much higher price and stake in their lives.
Monica Brett says:
It is this pure greed, when lack of gratefulness is replaced by averice.
A quick buck has taken over society. Take as look at our schools where games of tag and dodge ball has been banned partly due to those who would sue if a child gets a grazed knee.
Look, the flight took off from New York City. The suits are being filed by a New York law firm. And the "injured" passengers are probably New York City residents as well. Like the song says: "Go ahead, bite the Big Apple! Don't mind the maggots…"
Every once in a while even the music industry gets something right!
Apparently, to some people, surviving a plane crash just isn't good enough. It isn't good enough that a pilot lands a jet with 155 people aboard to safety. It isn't good enough that these people got to go home to their families intact, alive. Maybe they should file a lawsuit againt the pro-environmentalist groups who protect the geese? Our society has become a backwards moral trash can. What an insult against the pilot, Mr. Sullenberger and to those who have tragically lost loved ones in aviation accidents.

Substitute turkey into any of your favourite party dishes. Think about ground turkey, turkey breast or turkey sausage in any of your go-to appetizers and mains.

The concept of "Reputation Risk" is relatively new - it has been around for about a decade and only more seriously examined in the last 2-3 years.
Prescient as always, the Economist called reputation risk the "risk of risks" in 2007.
But it was not until around 2013, that several major surveys found that executives and boards not only ranked reputation risk as one of their top concerns but also considered it to be a strategic risk -- one that could have a dramatic or material effect on their business, prospects and overall organizational wellbeing. This was a clear reflection of significant events in the financial sector (involving many leading banks and investment banks), the tech sector (Google v. China), the automotive sector (Toyota's faulty brakes), and the oil and gas sector (BP's record oil spill), just to name a few.
This work is presented in two parts. In Part I, we provide some perspective on what reputation risk means. In Part II, we will tackle the issue of why reputation risk management needs to be part and parcel of any organization's strategic agenda, the critical importance of knowing who your principal stakeholders are and why they are important and the need for the coming together of a qualitative and quantitative perspective and expertise on this most challenging of strategic risks.

Milwaukee Buck Andrew Bogut Hired As Assistant Coach In Australia
Australian men's basketball coach Brett Brown says Andrew Bogut will be the highest paid assistant going around as the Boomers look to qualify for the Olympics without their NBA superstar.
Brown has urged the public to get behind his new look team as they start preparations for the FIBA Oceania Championship qualifying series with New Zealand, a task made all the more difficult with the Milwaukee centre unavailable due to the NBA player lockout.
With Basketball Australia (BA) unable to fully insure Bogut's multi-million dollar NBA contract, the former No.1 draft pick will instead work the sidelines with Brown.
"He'll be my richest assistant coach, laughed Brown when asked what Bogut's input would be against New Zealand.
He's fantastic about wanting to play but with injury and insurance issues with the NBA lockout he'll play his role from the bench next to me.
"He and David Anderson (recovering from knee surgery) won't be able to play but they'll be there in spirit and we'll have their support."
The Boomers and Opals will contest a best-of-three trans-Tasman series against New Zealand's Tall Blacks and Tall Ferns with double-header games in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in September.
Brown has promised fans his collection of NBL and overseas players will deliver an exciting style of play with the Australian hallmark of toughness.
He said fans who'd grown up watching legends like Andrew Gaze, Shane Heal, Luc Longley and Andrew Vlahov wear the green and gold would be surprised by the next wave of stars.
The likes of Patty Mills (Portland), David Barlow (CAI Zaragoza, Spain), Brad Newley (Lietuvos Rytas, Lithuania), AJ Ogilvy (Valencia, Spain) and world junior championships star Hugh Greenwood are expected to feature.
"Come and see them, said Brown when asked what fans could expect from the Boomers who infrequently play internationals at home because of the difficulty of getting teams to Australia.
I think they'll be proud of what the country is producing, I think they'll be surprised at the level of talent of the players coming back from playing in highly competitive leagues in Europe.
"They'll see a very exciting new generation, players they haven't seen domestically as a group for a very long time."
Brown said one thing would not be any different from when Heal stood up to American superstar Charles Barkley before the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
"There's an inherent culture bred into the country which has trickled down into my guys, its trickled down into basketball which makes it a pleasure to come back and watch our guys get after it, said Brown.
There's a toughness to our payers which there needs to be.
"You combine that with some good talent and defence, which is our bread and butter, and it's a pleasure and an honour to coach this team."
While the Opals, losing finalists at the last three Olympics, are expected to breeze through qualification, the Boomers have typically had a much tougher time against the Tall Blacks, including losing a world championship qualifying series to the New Zealanders.
The first double-header will be played in Melbourne on September 7.

Today, I was busy putting together some IKEA furniture for my studio so I decided to do some quick sketching for today's art. I found a blank page in one of my art journals and sketched one of my cats, Diesel, sleeping on her scratch-post house. It's far from being realistic and the proportions are off but for a 20 minutes exercise, it's not bad.
Thanks for visiting! I'll be back on Monday so have a nice weekend!

Q: d3 bar chart with fixed bar width and fixed spacing to align in center axis line I know it's little weird, I do have a requirement to have bar chart with fixed width instead of dynamic width handling. This is implemented with below code by handling x and width, now the spacing between the bars more when there is only few bars. So is there any possibility in d3 to render x axis values and chart in center of the axis line with fixed bar width and fixed spacing between bars?
bars.append('rect')
.attr('class', function(d,i) {
    return 'bar';
})
.attr('id', function(d, i) {
    return name+'-bar-'+i;
})
.attr('x', function(d) {
    return xScale(d.month) + (xScale.rangeBand() - 15)/2;
})
.attr('width', function(){
    return Math.min(xScale.rangeBand()-2, 15);
})
.attr('y', function(d) { return yScale(d.set.count); })
.attr('height', function(d) { return height - yScale(d.set.count); })
.on('click', function(d, i) {
  //
});

fiddle

A: An easy way to do that is setting your xScale range dynamically:
var xScaleRange = data.length * 30;
var xScale = d3.scale.ordinal()
    .rangeRoundBands([width / 2 - xScaleRange, width / 2 + xScaleRange], 0.2);

The magic number 30 here is simply twice the bar width.
Here is your code with that change:

// container size
var margin = {
    top: 10,
    right: 10,
    bottom: 30,
    left: 30
  },
  width = 600,
  height = 300;

var data = [{
  "month": "DEC",
  "set": {
    "count": 26,
    "id": 1,
    "label": "Set",
    "year": "2016"
  }
}, {
  "month": "JAN",
  "set": {
    "count": 30,
    "id": 1,
    "label": "Set",
    "year": "2017"
  }
}, {
  "month": "FEB",
  "set": {
    "count": 30,
    "id": 1,
    "label": "Set",
    "year": "2017"
  }
}];

var name = 'dashboard';

var xScaleRange = data.length * 30;

// x scale
var xScale = d3.scale.ordinal()
  .rangeRoundBands([width / 2 - xScaleRange, width / 2 + xScaleRange], 0.2);

// set x and y scales
xScale.domain(data.map(function(d) {
  return d.month;
}));

// x axis
var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
  .scale(xScale)
  .orient('bottom')
  .outerTickSize(0);

var yScale = d3.scale.linear()
  .domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d) {
    return d.set.count;
  })])
  .range([height, 0]);

var ticks = yScale.ticks(),
  lastTick = ticks[ticks.length - 1];
var newLastTick = lastTick + (ticks[1] - ticks[0]);
if (lastTick < yScale.domain()[1]) {
  ticks.push(lastTick + (ticks[1] - ticks[0]));
}

// adjust domain for further value
yScale.domain([yScale.domain()[0], newLastTick]);

// y axis
var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
  .scale(yScale)
  .orient('left')
  .tickSize(-width, 0, 0)
  .tickFormat(d3.format('d'))
  .tickValues(ticks);

// create svg container
var svg = d3.select('#chart')
  .append('svg')
  .attr('class', 'd3-setup-barchart')
  .attr('width', width + margin.left + margin.right)
  .attr('height', height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
  .append('g')
  .attr('transform', 'translate(' + margin.left + ',' + margin.top + ')');

// Horizontal grid (y axis gridline)
svg.append('g')
  .attr('class', 'grid horizontal')
  .attr("transform", "translate(" + (width / 2 - xScaleRange) + ",0)")
  .call(d3.svg.axis()
    .scale(yScale)
    .orient('left')
    .tickSize(-xScaleRange * 2, 0, 0)
    .tickFormat('')
    .tickValues(ticks)
  );

// create bars
var bars = svg.selectAll('.bar')
  .data(data)
  .enter()
  .append('g');

bars.append('rect')
  .attr('class', function(d, i) {
    return 'bar';
  })
  .attr('id', function(d, i) {
    return name + '-bar-' + i;

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Kaiba was just a newborn when he turned blue because his little lungs weren't getting the oxygen they needed. Garrett spent the first year of his life in hospital beds tethered to a ventilator, being fed through his veins because his body was too sick to absorb food. Baby Ian's heart stopped before he was even six months old.
Three babies all had the same life-threatening condition: a terminal form of tracheobronchomalacia, which causes the windpipe to periodically collapse and prevents normal breathing. There was no cure and life-expectancies were grim.
The three boys became the first in the world to benefit from groundbreaking 3D printed devices that helped keep their airways open, restored their breathing and saved their lives at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. Researchers have closely followed their cases to see how well the bioresorable splints implanted in all three patients have worked, publishing the promising results in today's issue of Science Translational Medicine.
"These cases broke new ground for us because we were able to use 3D printing to design a device that successfully restored patients' breathing through a procedure that had never been done before," says senior author Glenn Green, M.D., associate professor of pediatric otolaryngology at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
The findings reported today suggest that early treatment of tracheobronchomalacia may prevent complications of conventional treatment such as a tracheostomy, prolonged hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, cardiac and respiratory arrest, food malabsorption and discomfort. None of the devices, which were implanted in then 3-month-old Kaiba, 5-month-old Ian and 16-month-old Garrett have caused any complications.
How to help 3D-printed airway splint research.
The findings also show that the patients were able to come off of ventilators and no longer needed paralytics, narcotics and sedation. Researchers noted improvements in multiple organ systems. Patients were relieved of immunodeficiency-causing proteins that prevented them from absorbing food so that they no longer needed intravenous therapy.
Kaiba Gionfriddo made national headlines after he became the first patient to benefit from the procedure in 2012, and the procedure was repeated with Garrett Peterson and Ian Orbich. Using 3D printing, Green and his colleague Scott Hollister, Ph.D., professor of biomedical engineering and mechanical engineering and associate professor of surgery at U-M, were able to create and implant customized tracheal splints for each patient. The device was created directly from CT scans of their tracheas, integrating an image-based computer model with laser-based 3D printing to produce the splint.
The specially- designed splints were placed in the three patients at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. The splint was sewn around their airways to expand the trachea and bronchus and give it a skeleton to aid proper growth. The splint is designed to be reabsorbed by the body over time. The growth of the airways were followed with CT and MRI scans, and the device was shown to open up to allow airway growth for all three patients.
Doctors received emergency clearance from the FDA to do the procedures.
Authors say the recent report was not designed for device safety and that rare potential complications of the therapy may not yet be evident. However, Richard G. Ohye, M.D., head of pediatric cardiovascular surgery at C.S. Mott who performed the surgeries, says the cases provide the groundwork to potentially explore a clinical trial that could help other children with less-severe forms of tracheobronchomalacia in the future.
Kaiba, now a curious, active 3-year-old who loves playing with his siblings and who recently saw his favorite character Mickey Mouse at Disney World thanks to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, was back at Mott in April for a follow-up appointment.
The splint is dissolving just how it's supposed to and doctors expect that eventually, his trachea will reflect that of his peers with no signs of the tracheobronchomalacia that nearly killed him as a newborn.
Now an energetic 2-and-a-half-year-old with a contagious laugh, Garrett is able to breathe on his own and spend his days ventilator-free. Ian, now 17 months old, is known for his huge grins, enthusiastic high fives and love for playing with his big brother, Owen. Ian had the splint procedure done at Mott exactly one year ago this month.

Cleopatra VII Philopator (69 BC – 30 BC), popularly known as just Cleopatra, was an Egyptian queen who was the last active Pharaoh of Egypt. Ascending the throne at the age of 18, she co-ruled Egypt with her younger siblings and then with her son Ptolemy XV Caesarion. In an era when Egypt and Rome was embroiled in internal and external battles, she established her power, stabilized her kingdom and greatly influenced the politics of the time. Among other things, Cleopatra led a fleet at the naval Battle of Actium and influenced the way Western empires would be governed. Moreover, she went on to inspire art and literature for centuries. Know more about the enigmatic Egyptian queen Cleopatra through her 6 major accomplishments.
In the history of the Mediterranean, the Hellenistic period begins with the death of Alexander III of Macedon (commonly as Alexander the Great) in 323 BC. Ptolemy (Ptolemy I Soter), a Macedonian and among the high ranking generals of Alexander during his conquest of Egypt in 332 BC, was appointed as the satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death. This marked the beginning of a 300 year rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty over Egypt. The Ptolemaic dynasty was, with time, accepted by the Egyptians as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Cleopatra was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt ascending the throne in 51 B.C. after the death of her father Ptolemy XII Auletes. Cleopatra ruled jointly with her younger siblings Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC) and Ptolemy XIV (47–44 BC); and then with her son Ptolemy XV Caesarion (44–30 BC). She mostly had the political power to herself, being the dominant ruler in all three of her co-regencies, thus she was in all practical sense the last active Pharaoh of Egypt. The Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt ended with her death with the emergence of the Roman Empire in Egypt after the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.
Ptolemaic Pharaohs though accepted by the Egyptians and being crowned with Egyptian rituals at Memphis by the Egyptian High Priest of Ptah, had their roots in Greece. They spoke Greek and governed from the largely Greek city of Alexandria as Hellenistic Greek monarchs, refusing to learn the native Egyptian language. Cleopatra was however an exception, she could speak multiple languages, most importantly Egyptian, the language of her subjects. Cleopatra also spoke her native Koine Greek, Latin and Arabic along with Ethiopian, Troglodyte, Hebrew, Parthian, Median and the Syrian language. Some infer that her interest in such wide array of languages reflected her desire to restore North African and West Asian territories that were once part of the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
Ascending the throne of Egypt at the young age of 18, Cleopatra was ambitious in her desire to rule. Although a co-regent, she commanded power in Egypt throughout her reign and kept it independent in times of political turmoil. She formed relationships and political alliances with powerful Roman generals like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, providing them resources and finance to further their ambitions. She was also the enemy of Octavian, who would later become the first Roman emperor Augustus. Cleopatra played a vital role in Augustus's propaganda war against Antony which paved the way for his rule. He was determined that Roman history should be recorded in a way that validated this right. Cleopatra was thus stripped of any political influence and her role was diminished to her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She was painted as an immoral foreign woman who tempted upright Roman men. However, in reality, she greatly influenced the politics of Rome.
In the time leading to the famous naval battle at Actium, Antony tried to persuade Cleopatra to withdraw to Egypt but Cleopatra refused, thinking that blocking Octavian in Greece was more favourable in the defence of Egypt. In September of 32 B.C. the larger but untrained naval fleet of Antony and Cleopatra met the professional naval forces of Octavian led by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in the Battle of Actium. Cleopatra aboard her flagship, the Antonias, commanded several dozen Egyptian warships at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf. The battle, however, soon became one sided with officers, kings and generals defecting to Octavian's side. Cleopatra and Antony were thus forced to break through the Roman line and flee to Egypt.
Cleopatra popularized the idea of ruler worship, influencing the way Rome and other western empires would be governed in the future. There are clear indications that she had convinced two of the most powerful Roman generals and her consorts Julius Caesar and Mark Antony to rule as her partner in the guise of Greek and Egyptian Gods Dionysus – Isis. At the Lupercalia festival, a month before Caesar's death, while Cleopatra was in Rome, Antony attempted to place a royal Diadem on Caesar's head, with the latter refusing. This was most likely a staged performance, to gauge the Roman public's mood about accepting Hellenistic-style kingship. After his victory over Armenia in 34 B.C. Antony held a Roman style victory parade in Alexandria dressed as Dionysus and riding into the city on a chariot to present the royal prisoners to Cleopatra, who was seated on a golden throne. Antony and Cleopatra's twin boy and girl were named Helios (the Sun) and Selene (the Moon) respectively, indicating the couples elaborate plans for the future. The idea of ruler worship was in a way soon adopted by Octavian when he became the first emperor of Rome taking the title of Augustus (The Majestic).
Centuries after her death Cleopatra still captivates historians, storytellers, artists and the public in general. The most staring example being Shakespeare's play Antony and Cleopatra (1606–07) which was inspired from Roman historian Plutarch's Parallel Lives. It was the work of the masterful playwright that immortalized Cleopatra, making her into the popular cultural icon that she is. Many plays, poetry, paintings, operas and movies have since been made on the Egyptian queen. Her image of being an exotic seductive queen are still used to sell a wide range of products.


Larry Cicchese began his accounting career with Bauman as a staff accountant quite a few years ago. A seasoned accounting veteran, he helps a wide variety of area businesses and non-profit organizations with corporate and individual tax concerns, payroll matters and accounting issues. Possessing a keen eye for detail, he also consults on forensic accounting matters and provides expert testimony for civil disputes.
Larry most enjoys when personalities click just right with his clients and loves to see the impact he is able to make through his work. He initially found himself maneuvered into the world of accounting through a bookkeeping job, while pursuing an electronics degree. While he appreciated the doors accounting opened for him, what really attracted him to the profession was the opportunity to really help people and businesses through practical means. That's not to say his technology background hasn't come in handy; he applies this skillset to improving Bauman's internal systems, enhancing client service, as well as consulting with clients to help them stay competitive with their own IT systems.
A local who understands region-specific needs, Larry currently resides in River Falls. Outside of work, his interests include cars, motorcycles, firearms and reading W.E.B. Griffin novels.
Larry's proudest accomplishment is his service as a United States Marine.

Q: Can the continuous form be combined with the passive voice? According to the site Study And Exam, passive constructions cannot be used with verb forms such as:

*

*the present perfect continuous construction

*the past perfect continuous construction

*the future continuous construction

*the future perfect continuous construction
But according to this other site, English Page, (which I think is the right one) such constructions can for sure be used in passives.
Is the first site wrong?

A: The first site is wrong:

*

*He has been being treated for imbecility for almost twenty years and has not yet recovered his wits.

*In 2007 he had been being treated for imbecility for ten years and had not yet recovered his wits.

*He will be being treated for imbecility on Monday when you arrive, and may not be able to greet you.

*By then he will have been being treated for imbecility for twenty years.

What is true is that these constructions are rarely needed.


TWO FARMS ONE : (AF) Busy, but fine, mostly.
(AF) Busy, but fine, mostly.
Yes, we have gotten extremely busy again. It is just that time of year, as I am sure all of you know. We are both still a little under the weather, but improving. My back is out, which is slowing me down, but I am still managing to get around and get quite a bit done. As soon as the cold front that is almost here, passes through, my back will probably be just fine (I am hoping).
We both have soooo many blog posts that we have mulling about in our heads, and we are dying to get them posted, but we have neither one had a lot of time lately to just sit down and write away. As I have said before, it is too bad because that is the time you actually have the most to write about.
We are going to try our best to get caught up on our sites over the next few days, but we make no promises! We truly hope life is treating you all well, you are having a great Christmas season, and we can't wait to find some reading time to catch up with all of you and your blogs.
Have a BEAUTIFUL and BLESSING filled day!
I am adding this comment so that any of you that are having problems commenting will have a place to comment.
If you ARE having problems commenting on our blog, please let us know! It will help us to figure out where the problem lies. And we do want to get it fixed because we LOVE comments!

IAF's French Mirages Fly With Russian Missiles, Thanks to Israeli 'Jugaad'
July 11, 2019 ; By: NDTV
In Air Force circles, its been referred to as the ultimate 'jugaad' or innovative fix – mating a Russian air-to-air missile to an Israeli helmet mounted display to be worn by an Indian pilot flying a French-built Mirage 2000 fighter.
And yet, this is exactly how the Indian Air Force or IAF has been operating the bulk of its Mirage 2000 fleet for close to a decade.
By 2008, the French-built R-530D and Magic II, the primary air-to-air missiles which equipped the Mirages which entered IAF service in 1985, had become obsolete. Without these, the IAF's Mirages would have no missiles to engage enemy aircraft in the skies. Read More…

smsManager.sendTextMessage(sms_receiver, null, sms_content, null, null);

No errors and no exceptions.
While the above seems to work fine in android studio's emulator that I use, when I install my app on my device, again no errors or crashes, but the message goes to my default SMS app as a draft with no recipient.
After searching I, was lead to believe that the fact my mobile phone is dual sim (although I have only one inserted in my device) is the problem and can be addressed by using the "scAddress" argument.
I'm still not sure if the above is right and I couldn't find a way to get the scAddress programmatically.
If it is at all relevant, the model I have is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and the API of the android app:
 minSdkVersion 25
 targetSdkVersion 29

A: I assume you've tried setting the service center address in the second argument of smsManager.sendTextMessage?
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/gsm/SmsManager#sendDataMessage(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20short,%20byte[],%20android.app.PendingIntent,%20android.app.PendingIntent)
Looks like it should be a phone number: Look here for more info:

A: The problem was indeed that the
SmsManager smsManager = SmsManager.getDefault();

wasn't getting the active sim slot. I used the snippet found in this answer:
Android: How to send sms with particular SIM in dual sim mobiles?
Now the app needs READ_PHONE_STATE permission, which I would prefer wasn't the case, but it works as expected (i.e the SMS is being sent by my app).
