Berezenko told, what will be the salary of physicians after the reform of the sphere
June 3, 2017 IMMPolitics
After the reform of financing the health system health workers will receive from 10 to 23 thousand UAH of wages. About this informed the Deputy Chairman of the faction "block of Petro Poroshenko," a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on health Sergey Berezenko at a briefing after the meeting of the National Council reform.
"We are changing the principle of the funding from beds and heating wall – to Finance health services, and introduce the principle "money follows the patient", – said the Deputy.
The proposed reform, he added, will allow workers in the field of medicine to "a minimum of 10 thousand hryvnias to sometimes more than 23 thousand hryvnias of a salary or income per month".
In addition, said Berezenko, introduces the possibility for the doctor to become a business entity.
"Accordingly, it receives a lower tax rate. The so-called single tax. And the state will be the medical services market and competition," he said.
That is, according to the Deputy, will ensure the increase in quality provided medical services, because "in this case, the doctors will be looking for his patient."
"According to calculations of the Ministry of health, after the adoption of the proposed reform, funding for health from the state budget per person will be roughly $ 110 in the patient is from the very beginning of the reform. And within 5 years this figure is set to double to $ 220," said Berezenko.
He gave the example that in Georgia today, a similar costing only $ 70.
Among other things, Berezenko noted that were taken into account the need to start the system of electronic services "E-Health".
In addition, he added, you must save the benefits for socially vulnerable population and take into account the protection of participants of military operations in the Donbas, which should be free to receive all necessary medical services.
In turn, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on health Olga Bogomolets expressed the hope that the new bills will include funding issues and government guarantees treatment of TB patients, the mentally ill, as well as state guarantees vaccination of children. MP also hopes that, among other things, will protect the rights of pregnant women.
The Chairman of the Committee also noted that the legislative initiative provides for the possibility of "pilot" of its realization – and not just throughout the country, and at first only in "pilot" regions or institutions.
According to her, separately, it is planned to adopt the law on health insurance. Relevant legislative initiatives, said the pilgrim, in Parliament now was three.
"A group of authors of bills that represent models of private, public-private and completely public health insurance was consensus. And I hope that in the near future will be technically processed a bill and presented in Parliament which will resolve the question of health insurance and provide a new pool of funds" – said Bohomolets.
She concluded that it is now proposed a system in which the state will pay and guarantee payment in primary care medicine: family doctors, emergency medicine and palliative care, and in other cases we will focus on the co-payment of medical services.
At the same time, the bill for health insurance has to settle the question – for people who can not afford the copayments.

Q: Javascript: Editing a list item I have made a to do list using vanilla JS , each list item has a delete and an edit option , delete works fine, but when I am editing a list item it is not editing the line item on which i use the edit option rather it updates the last added list item
HTML:

  <input type="text" name="" id="listDetail"
 placeholder="What's the task about" autofocus>
  <button id="addBtn">Add</button>

JS:
var listDetail = document.getElementById("listDetail");
var addBtn = document.getElementById("addBtn");
var ul = document.getElementById("ul");

addBtn.onclick = function () {
if (listDetail.value !== "") {
var li = document.createElement("LI");
ul.appendChild(li);

}
else {
alert("List item cannot be empty");
}

var entry = document.createElement("SPAN");
var entryText = document.createTextNode(listDetail.value);
entry.className = "userEntry";
entry.appendChild(entryText);
li.appendChild(entry);

var span = document.createElement("SPAN");
var spanText = document.createTextNode("\u00D7");
span.className = "close";
span.appendChild(spanText);
li.appendChild(span);

var close = document.getElementsByClassName("close");
for (var i = 0; i < close.length; i++) {
close[i].onclick = function () {
  this.parentElement.style.display = "none";
}
}

var edit = document.createElement("SPAN");
var eText = document.createTextNode("\u270E");
edit.className = "edit";
edit.appendChild(eText);
li.appendChild(edit);

var editC = document.getElementsByClassName("edit");

for (var e = 0; e < editC.length; e++) {
editC[e].onclick = function () {
  var p = prompt("Edit your entry");
  entry.innerText = p;
 }
}

var liTag = document.getElementsByTagName("LI");

for (var j = 0; j < liTag.length; j++) {
liTag[j].onclick = function () {
  this.classList.toggle("checked");
}
}

listDetail.value = "";
}

How do I ensure it updates the right line item?

A: Here lies your problem:
var entry = document.createElement("SPAN"); // <<<

...

for (var e = 0; e < editC.length; e++) {
    editC[e].onclick = function () {
        var p = prompt("Edit your entry");
        entry.innerText = p; // <<< you are modifying the entry that you've just created
    }
}

I don't see a need for a for loop.

var listDetail = document.getElementById("listDetail");
var addBtn = document.getElementById("addBtn");
var ul = document.getElementById("ul");

addBtn.onclick = function () {
  if (listDetail.value !== "") {
    var li = document.createElement("LI");
    ul.appendChild(li);
  }
  else {
    alert("List item cannot be empty");
  }

  var entry = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var entryText = document.createTextNode(listDetail.value);
  entry.className = "userEntry";
  entry.appendChild(entryText);
  li.appendChild(entry);

  var close = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var cText = document.createTextNode("\u00D7");
  close.className = "close";
  close.appendChild(cText);
  li.appendChild(close);
  close.onclick = function () {
      this.parentElement.style.display = "none";
  }

  var edit = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var eText = document.createTextNode("\u270E");
  edit.className = "edit";
  edit.appendChild(eText);
  li.appendChild(edit);
  edit.onclick = function () {
      var p = prompt("Edit your entry");
      var entry = this.parentElement.getElementsByClassName("userEntry")[0]; // get sibling userEntry element
      entry.innerText = p;
  }

  li.onclick = function () {
      this.classList.toggle("checked");
  }

  listDetail.value = "";
}

  <input type="text" name="" id="listDetail" placeholder="What's the task about" autofocus>
  <button id="addBtn">Add</button>

A: You have to create an ID for each specific tag, and when the user edits it uses that rather than the class.

var listDetail = document.getElementById("listDetail");
var addBtn = document.getElementById("addBtn");
var ul = document.getElementById("ul");
var cnt = 0
addBtn.onclick = function() {
  if (listDetail.value !== "") {
    var li = document.createElement("LI");
    ul.appendChild(li);

  } else {
    alert("List item cannot be empty");
  }

  var entry = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var entryText = document.createTextNode(listDetail.value);
  entry.className = "userEntry";
  entry.setAttribute("id", "entry" + cnt);
  entry.appendChild(entryText);
  li.appendChild(entry);

  var span = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var spanText = document.createTextNode("\u00D7");
  span.className = "close";
  span.appendChild(spanText);
  li.appendChild(span);

  var close = document.getElementsByClassName("close");
  for (var i = 0; i < close.length; i++) {
    close[i].onclick = function() {
      this.parentElement.style.display = "none";
    }
  }

  var edit = document.createElement("SPAN");
  var eText = document.createTextNode("\u270E");
  edit.className = "edit";
  edit.setAttribute("id", "edit" + cnt);
  edit.appendChild(eText);
  li.appendChild(edit);

  var editC = document.getElementById("edit" + cnt);
  editC.onclick = function() {
    var p = prompt("Edit your entry");
    var obj = document.getElementById("entry" + cnt);
    obj.innerText = p;
  }

  var liTag = document.getElementsByTagName("LI");

  for (var j = 0; j < liTag.length; j++) {
    liTag[j].onclick = function() {
      this.classList.toggle("checked");
    }
  }

  listDetail.value = "";
}

    <input type="text" name="" id="listDetail" placeholder="What's the task about" autofocus>
    <button id="addBtn">Add</button>

mlp fim the elements of darkness pony script part1 to 4 !
Dark mlp fim the elements of darkness pony script part1 to 4 !
Pretty sure the mane 6 don't reference themselves as the mane 6. You spelled the word hideous incorrectly so spell check is needed. The differing colors is actually hurting my eyes. Most of the text is centered but not all of it, or it is but has odd spacing from an indent or something. The story is jumping right into dialogue with no introduction/narration so It feels like I've just been dropped into the middle of something that was already happening so I'm starting off confused. I suggest looking up how screenplays are usually written, they're very useful, especially with establishing a visual. Rainbow dash should be saying, "Yeah, I don't think any of them could outfly an awesome Pegasus like me." except her comment does add to the story, there's no place for it there, unless she's actually following up what Rarity said, in which case she should say something more along the lines of, "Yeah, not to mention those two don't even look like they could get off the ground." or "Yeah, and is that one supposed to me like me? because it doens't look like a very fast flyer." assuming they're mirroring the mane 6 that is so 2 pegasi, 2 unicorns, and 2 earth ponies, and not the whole groupApplejack in that first instance of saying "Ya" would have actually said "Yer" because she's actually saying "you're" not just "you". Is Applejack being sarcastic about being kind? because it doesn't sound like fighting otherwise, and both Fluttershy and Applejack's responses are out of character for their first reactions.
That's just for the first page. This story didn't make much sense to me and really needs to be fleshed out, pun not intended. It's a work in progress to say the least. Hope it goes well for you.
When sharing your work please post the story to a thread; do not share a download link.
What's different to this fanfiction is I'm trying a new idea where you act out the roles in the show is also why it's color coded for each different character that talk to each other! Plus I write horror novels better then this it was really hard to do. If you want me to do more I'll try but I can't promise they will be better!

Apple blocks new Spotify app as streaming wars escalate
By Chris Smith June 30, 2016 8:49 pm BST
Apple is attempting to 'cause grave harm' to Spotify by rejecting a new version of its iOS app, according to the Swedish streaming giant.
Spotify's legal team has written to their Apple counterparts claiming the latter is attempting to damage Apple Music rivals.
The new version of the app was rejected by Apple because of Spotify wants to offer alternate payment methods, beyond iTunes subscriptions of which Apple gets a 30 per cent cut.
"This latest episode raises serious concerns under both US and EU competition law," general counsel Horacio Gutierrez wrote to his Apple counterpart Bruce Sewell in a letter obtained by Recode.
"It continues a troubling pattern of behavior by Apple to exclude and diminish the competitiveness of Spotify on iOS and as a rival to Apple Music, particularly when seen against the backdrop of Apple's previous anticompetitive conduct aimed at Spotify…we cannot stand by as Apple uses the App Store approval process as a weapon to harm competitors."
Related: Apple Music vs Spotify vs The Rest
Spotify has long attempted to circumvent Apple's rules by charging £13/$13 a month for iTunes-based subscriptions.
Rather than simply passing the costs onto customers, Spotify has made it evident that a £10/$10 a month rate is available to those subscribing through its own portals.
Apple's policy has been in place since 2011, so this isn't a new thing, but it seems Spotify has attempted to sneak a version of the app through that can by-pass iTunes billing.
The letter is perhaps the first public spat between Apple and Spotify since the launch of Apple Music last summer.
Spotify recently claimed the arrival of Apple on the streaming scene had raised awareness and contributed to a rise in subscribers.
Right now Apple Music has about 15 million subscribers, while of the 100m Spotify users, 30 million are paying customers.

Q: localStorage getItem is returning null I'm having some trouble retrieving values from localStorage after login. The problem is here
getOrgId(){
    console.log(localStorage.getItem('orgId')) //Give null
    return localStorage.getItem('orgId')
  }
It give value null but when I reload page, I get value.
Auth.Service

      );
  }

getOrgId(){
    console.log(localStorage.getItem('orgId')) //Give null
    return localStorage.getItem('orgId')
  }

A: I dont know this answer would help you or not, bcs I'm struggling in angular too for this several months.
I see you need to collect a value from ur localStorage with a function. Maybe my code will help u :/
|| I'm using java for webservice, btw ||
Authentication.service.ts
login(username: string, password: string) {
return this.http.post < any > (this.a.SERVER_URL + '/system/auth/newLogin', { // /authentication/login
// return this.http.post < any > (this.a.SERVER_URL + '/authentication/login', {
    username: username,
    password: password
  })
  .map(user => {
    // login successful if there's a jwt token in the response
    console.log(user);
    if (user && user.d) {
    // if (user && user.token) {
      // store user details and jwt token in local storage to keep user logged in between page refreshes
      localStorage.setItem('username', username);
      localStorage.setItem('entitas_id', user.d.entitas_id);
      localStorage.setItem('role_id', user.d.role_id);
      localStorage.setItem('token', user.d.token);
      localStorage.setItem('active', user.d.active);
      localStorage.setItem('jabatan_id', user.d.jabatan_id);
      localStorage.setItem('currentUser', JSON.stringify(user));
    } else {
      // Gagal Login
      this.options.message = user.m;
      notify(this.options, 'error', 3000);
    }

    return user;
  });

}
Some file that contain a function that I need to collect value from localStorage
BaruChanged(e){
    console.log(e)
    const jabatan = localStorage.getItem('jabatan_id');
    const entitas_id = localStorage.getItem('entitas_id');
    const username = localStorage.getItem('username').toString().toUpperCase();
    this.role.username=username;
    this.role.entitas_id = entitas_id;
    this.role.jabatan = jabatan;

  }

I'm saving the localStorage.getItem('jabatan_id') into some const. That's what I want to show you about :))

A: I think you might calling the getOrgId() function in ngOninit() or in component Constructor thats why it gives null because before setting the value in local sotrage you are calling the getOrgId() function.
Just write an console in both function getOrgId() & loginUser() an check which one is prints first.

Q: Error al recibir variables por Método POST en una clase con PHP Estoy recibiendo información de un formulario, la cual quiero dar de alta mediante un formulario con PHP; asigno los valores a unas propiedades que tengo declaradas dentro de una clase Llamada Alta la cual hereda de Conecta; pero obtengo el siguiente error

Fatal error: Constant expression contains invalid operations in
  C:\xampp\htdocs\crud\Altas.php on line 7

El código de mi clase es el siguiente

require 'Conexion.php';

class Altas extends Conecta
{
    public $name = $_POST["name"];
    public $mail = $_POST["email"];
    public $biography = $_POST["biography"];
    public $degree = $_POST["degree"];

    public function altaUser($name, $mail, $biography, $degree)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->mail = $mail;
        $this->biography = $biography;
        $this->degree = $degree;

        $stmt = parent::$conexion->prepare("INSERT INTO profiles(name, email, biography, degree) VALUES(:name, :mail, :biography, :degree)");
        $stmt->bindParam(":name", $this->name);
        $stmt->bindParam(":mail", $this->mail);
        $stmt->bindParam(":biography", $this->biography);
        $stmt->bindParam(":degree", $this->degree);

        $stmt->execute();
    }
}

A: Deberías tener un intermediario entre tu clase y tu submit ya que de la manera que lo estas haciendo no es la correcta, aparte de que no seria escalable tu código, podría presentar fallos, mi propuesta es la siguiente;
creas un archivo nomabrado altas_controller.php este recibira tu submit y incluirá tu archivo con la clase altas Altas.php;
altas_controller.php
<?php

require("altas.php");

$name = $_POST["name"];
$mail = $_POST["email"];
$biography = $_POST["biography"];
$degree = $_POST["degree"];

//Instanciamos tu clase

$nueva_alta = new Alta($name,$mail,$biography ,$degree);
$nueva_alta->altaUser();

archivo altas.php le haremos una modificación para agregar un constructor;
require 'Conexion.php';

class Altas extends Conecta
{
   //ahora todos tus propiedades son privadas
    private $name;
    private $mail;
    private $biography;
    private $degree;
   //tu constructor recibe los datos al instanciar la clase
   public function __construct($name,$email,$biography,$degree){
   $this->name = $name;
   $this->mail =$email;
   $this->biography = $biography;
   $this->degree = $degree;
   }

    public function altaUser()
    {

        $stmt = parent::$conexion->prepare("INSERT INTO profiles(name, email, biography, degree) VALUES(:name, :mail, :biography, :degree)");
        $stmt->bindParam(":name", $this->name);
        $stmt->bindParam(":mail", $this->mail);
        $stmt->bindParam(":biography", $this->biography);
        $stmt->bindParam(":degree", $this->degree);

        $stmt->execute();
    }
}

esto es una idea de como seria el MVC.

npm not ok

A: You need to upgrade your version of node. node v0.6 is really old and not only is the version of npm you're using too old to support the caret (^) used in version specifiers, but nan does not support node v0.6 anyway.


This is an article which relates with the article mentioned about using Form class. An error generated when the 'composer update' command is executed. The error is specifically mentioned as the title which is 'Package illuminate/html is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use laravelcollective/html instead'.
So, the composer utility is actually checking the compatibility of the packages installed. In this context, laravelframework which has the version of 5.3.0 is not compatible with the illuminate/html package. The packkage itself is currently abandoned which is not going for another further development.
It is normally inserted in one of the blade view template file located in resources/views folder.

Q: If Space is continuous, why can't we go below Planck Length? I am not talking about any other attributes of particles, vacuum etc ruling out Uncertainty Principle thing. If talking about pure Space (which is continuous, not discrete, cf. e.g. this Phys.SE post), why is Planck Length lower measurement limit?
Update:
I want to avoid Uncertainty Principle at all cost. After John's answer, I am clarifying my question with abstract Space notion. I have pure Space, but no Vacuum to rule out any Quantum Fluctuation to create energy based on Uncertainty Principle.
New related question: Is lower measurement limit due to Quantum Fluctuation of Vacuum? Or, there's more to it?

A: There are several duplicates of your question, but they have all been marked as duplicates of How to get Planck length, and I don't think this really answers your question. Actually the best answer is by Ben Crowell to one of the duplicates, Why is the Planck length the shortest measurable length?, but Ben has deleted his answer presumably when the question was flagged as a duplicate. I'm unsure about the ethics of quoting from a deleted answer, so I'll sketch a brief explanation here.
The uncertainty principle states:
$$ \Delta x \Delta p \ge \frac{\hbar}{2} $$
So if we try to focus any measuring equipment down to some small distance $\Delta x$ we pay the price of increasing the momentum uncertainty of our system. But momentum and energy are linked by:
$$ E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4 $$
So to focus down increases the energy uncertainty of our system. As we go to smaller and smaller $x$ the energy uncertainty gets bigger and bigger, and this means the energy density rises. When we get down to the Planck length we find the energy density uncertainty has got so big that it creates a black hole with an event horizon radius of (around) the Planck length. Now we have a problem because we can't measure anything inside the event horizon of a black hole.
This means it's impossible to measure any distance less than (around) the Planck length. If we try we actually just make the black hole bigger and our resolution gets worse not better.


text:
Tito Aurelio Fulvo Boyonio Antonino (en latín: T. Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus, 19 de septiembre de 86-7 de marzo de 161) fue emperador romano desde el año 138 al 161. Nacido en una familia senatorial de rango patricio originaria de Nemausus, ocupó el consulado y el proconsulado de Asia durante el gobierno de Adriano, quien lo adoptó como hijo y sucesor poco antes de su muerte. Se ganó el sobrenombre "Pío" tras su ascenso al trono, ya sea por hacer que el Senado deificara a su predecesor, o por anular las condenas a muerte ordenadas por Adriano en sus últimos años.

Su reinado fue notable por la casi ausencia de revueltas e incursiones militares y su permanencia en la península itálica. Ordenó la construcción del muro de Antonino para mejorar la defensa de la provincia de Britania, aunque fue abandonado apenas veinte años después. Destacó por ser un administrador eficaz, evitando el derroche y dejando la tesorería saneada; por mantener siempre una actitud respetuosa hacia el Senado; por respetar las tradiciones religiosas, fueran estas oficiales o no; y por no acometer importantes reformas urbanísticas. Concedió a los libertos el derecho al voto en sus comunidades.

Nacimiento y familia
Antonino Pío nació el 19 de septiembre de 86 en Lanuvium, al sureste de Roma, en el seno de una familia originaria de Nemausus, en la Galia Narbonense, pero que se había asentado en la capital del Imperio en época julio-claudia. Su padre, Tito Aurelio Fulvo, fue cónsul en el año 89, aunque debió morir poco después. Su madre fue Arria Fadila de la que apenas se tienen noticias.

Su abuelo paterno, llamado también como su padre Tito Aurelio Fulvo, había ejercido el consulado dos veces, primero alrededor del año 70 y luego en el año 85, y fue nombrado prefecto de la Ciudad por Domiciano en los años 80. Su abuelo materno, Cneo Arrio Antonino, también procedente de la Galia Narbonense, había ocupado el consulado en calidad de sufecto dos veces en los años 69 y 97 coincidiendo con sendos cambios de dinastía imperial. De sus abuelas, se conoce a Boyonia Procila, aunque no se tiene la certeza si lo fue por el lado paterno o el materno.

Poco se sabe sobre la vida de Antonino antes de ser emperador. Antonino aún era joven cuando murió su padre, por lo que su abuelo materno cuidó de su educación. Pasó su juventud en las posesiones que este tenía en Lorium. Siguió una carrera pública eminentemente civil, dada su condición de patricio, y no abandonó la península itálica salvo cuando tuvo que ejercer el proconsulado de Asia. Después de la muerte de su abuelo, Antonino heredó sus grandes posesiones convirtiéndose en uno de los hombres más ricos de Roma. Se casó con Faustina la Mayor, hija del poderoso y rico Marco Annio Vero.

Matrimonio y descendencia

Antonino Pío se casó entre 110-115 con Annia Galeria Faustina la Mayor. El matrimonio resultó ser muy feliz. Faustina era la hija de cónsul Marco Annio Vero y Rupilia Faustina, pariente de la emperatriz romana Vibia Sabina. Faustina fue una hermosa mujer, conocida en Roma por su sabiduría. Pasó toda su vida ayudando a los pobres y desfavorecidos.

Faustina y Antonino tuvieron cuatro hijos, dos niños y dos niñas:
 Marco Aurelio Fulvio Antonino (m. en 138). Se ha encontrado una inscripción en su tumba en el Mausoleo de Adriano, en Roma.
 Marco Galerio Aurelio Antonino (m. en 138). Se ha encontrado una inscripción en su tumba en el Mausoleo de Adriano, en Roma. Su nombre figura en una moneda imperial griega.
 Aurelia Fadila (m. en 135), se casó con Lucio Lamia Silvano, cónsul en 145. No parece que fruto de este matrimonio nacieran hijos. Su tumba se ha encontrado en Italia.
 Annia Galeria Faustina Minor o Faustina la Menor (125/130-175), futura emperatriz, casada con el emperador Marco Aurelio. Fue la única de los hijos del emperador que vivió para ver a Antonino y Faustina elevados al rango imperial.

Antonino Pío, cuando su esposa murió en 141, se vistió completamente de luto e hizo las siguientes acciones en memoria de su finada esposa:
 La deificó como una diosa.
 Construyó un templo en el Foro Romano en su nombre, con sacerdotisas para rendirle culto.
 Emitió varias monedas en las que ella aparecía. Estas monedas, de decoración refinada, llevaban una inscripción que rezaba: DIVA FAUSTINA
 Creó una organización de beneficencia a la que llamó Puellae Faustinianae o Niñas de Faustina, que prestaba asistencia a niñas que se habían quedado huérfanas.
 Creó un nuevo alimenta.

Carrera pública bajo Adriano
Tras desempeñar con un sorprendente éxito los cargos de cuestor y pretor, obtuvo el consulado en 120. Fue posteriormente nombrado por Adriano como uno de los cuatro procónsules que administraban Italia. Su labor durante su proconsulado en Asia aumentó en gran medida su reputación gracias a su buena conducta. Antonino Pío fue favorecido durante su carrera por Adriano, que lo adoptó como su heredero el 25 de febrero de 138, tras la muerte de su hijo adoptivo Lucio Elio César, con la condición de que el propio Antonino Pío adoptara a Marco Annio Vero, el hijo de la mujer de su hermano, y a Lucio, hijo de Elio César, que después se convertirían en los emperadores Marco Aurelio y Lucio Vero.

Emperador

A su ascenso al trono, Antonino se convirtió en Imperator Caesar Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus. Una de sus primeras actuaciones como emperador fue convencer al Senado para que concediera honores divinos a su predecesor Adriano, a lo que los senadores se habían negado inicialmente; sus esfuerzos destinados a persuadir al Senado para rendir esta clase de honores a Adriano así como su buena conducta privada y actos de solidaridad con su suegro le valieron el cognomen de Pius. Las otras dos razones que justificaban este título fueron que su suegro se apoyaba en su hombro al entrar en la Cámara del Senado y que salvó a los hombres que Adriano había condenado a muerte durante su etapa de enfermedad. Construyó durante su reinado templos, teatros, mausoleos, promovió las artes y las ciencias y otorgó sueldos y honores a los maestros de retórica y filosofía.

Su reinado transcurrió pacíficamente, a pesar de una serie de disturbios militares que asolaron el Imperio durante su gobierno en Mauritania, Judea y en Britania contra los brigantes, aunque ninguna de estas insurrecciones se consideran de importancia. Se cree que la insurrección en Britania llevó al Emperador a erigir el Muro de Antonino en el Fiordo de Forth y el Fiordo de Clyde, a pesar de que fue pronto abandonado. Fue uno de los pocos emperadores que se enfrentaron a las crisis de su gobierno sin salir de Italia, tratando los asuntos bélicos provinciales a través de gobernadores o por medio de cartas a ciudades como Éfeso. Este estilo de gobierno fue muy elogiado por sus contemporáneos y por las generaciones futuras.

Poco se conoce de la política exterior del gobierno de Antonino, aunque a juzgar por los hechos consecuentes de ella, no ocurrieron acontecimientos de importancia durante este periodo, comparado con los de reinados de sus antecesores y predecesores. Algunos historiadores afirman que trató con gran cuidado los asuntos del Imperio, o que tal vez se desinteresó de los acontecimientos que sucedían en el exterior de Italia, y que de su inactividad se derivaron los problemas a los que se tuvo que enfrentar, no solo Marco Aurelio, sino un gran número de emperadores del S. III. El historiador alemán Ernst Kornemann escribe que el reinado de Antonino comprendió:

Esta teoría toma en consideración las pequeñas invasiones partas ocurridas durante el reinado de Antonino. Kornemann sostiene que Antonino debería haber librado una guerra preventiva contra los invasores para hacerlos retroceder. El historiador Ivan Lissner escribió:

Antonino Pío mantuvo buenas relaciones con el Senado, en contraste con su predecesor Adriano. Su reinado, junto con el de sus predecesores Trajano y Adriano, y el de su sucesor, Marco Aurelio, se conoce como la Edad de Oro del Imperio romano.

En el año 140, mediante una Constitución imperial, se declaró que la ciudadanía romana que recibían los soldados veteranos de las tropas auxiliares, tras veinticinco años de servicio, no era extensible a los hijos que hubieran tenido durante su servicio o antes de este, pero sí la recibirían los descendientes que tuvieran después de haber sido nombrados ciudadanos con la honesta missio. Las motivaciones de esta medida todavía no han sido discernidas completamente.

Algunos estudiosos aseguran que Antonino Pío fue amigo íntimo de Yehudah Hanasí. Según el Talmud (Avodah Zarah 10a-b), el rabino Yehudah era muy rico y muy venerado en Roma. Mantuvo una estrecha amistad con "Antonino", posiblemente Antonino Pío, el cual le consultaba sobre asuntos mundanos y espirituales.

Muerte

Tras desempeñar el reinado más duradero desde el de Augusto, superando en dos meses al de Tiberio, Antonino murió de unas fiebres en Lorium, Etruria, a unos doce kilómetros de Roma, el 7 de marzo de 161. La última palabra que el finado emperador pronunció fue característica de lo que fue su reinado: aequanimitas, (ecuanimidad). Su cuerpo fue depositado en el Mausoleo de Adriano y se erigió una columna en su honor en el Campo de Marte, y el templo que él mismo había dedicado a su esposa Faustina en 141 se volvió a deificar en su nombre y en el de Faustina.

Historiografía

La única obra de la que se tienen datos de Antonino Pío que ha llegado hasta nosotros es la Historia Augusta, un relato de escasa fiabilidad. Antonino Pío es el único emperador romano que no tiene una biografía. Los historiadores por tanto, han debido recurrir a los registros públicos para documentarse sobre lo dicho en sus escritos.

Obra moderna

Antonino Pío representaba el ideal del caballero romano y fue alabado por sus contemporáneos, y, posteriormente, por los eruditos modernos como Edward Gibbon. El artículo sobre el emperador en la Encyclopædia Britannica (edición de 1911) dice lo siguiente:

This weekend project came up from something I thought about at work. I need to make a replicated service highly available across availability zones, and for consistency reasons I need to make sure only one instance of the service is accessed.
#3 is the tricky part. It's basically like external leader election. I was looking at Consul but I don't think it can do what I'm looking for, so I decided to implement something myself.
This reminds me of something I did last year with libab and DigitalOcean's floating IPs. As I mentioned in that post, libab uses a bully algorithm and failure detectors to elect a single node in a cluster. libab's leader election is used to make sure only one instance is updating DNS records. Otherwise, there may be some weird race conditions.
There are two identical services. I made these simple HTTP servers responding with "200 OK".
There's a single process using libab to do the actual health checking. It simply makes sure that the primary service responds to HTTP requests. This is written in Go, and I have a simplified version at the end of the post.
There are backup instances of the health check process doing failure detection on the elected node. One of these will take over if the primary fails.
The client accessing the services. It sends requests to a CNAME entry pointing to one of the actual services.
DNS service. In this prototype, I used DigitalOcean's DNS and API. The TTL for the CNAME was tiny. I think it was 5 seconds or something like that. That way the client would connect to the right service as soon as possible when a failover happens.
Here's a short video of health checking in action. There's only one health check instance running, and it's running locally. You can see that my curl requests, which were happening every two seconds, don't fail when I shut down the primary service.
This second video shows libab's leader election in action. There are two instances of libab running in different data centers, and a third running on my laptop to serve as a tie-breaker.
This is a simplified version of the health check program.


So much for Mexico paying for the wall.
President Donald Trump, who repeatedly insisted during the 2016 campaign that Mexico would pay for a wall along the southern border, is privately pushing the U.S. military to fund construction of his signature project, reports The Washington Post.
The military paying for the wall means taxpayers pay for the wall.
So under Trump latest, taxpayers would pay for a wall to prevent the people who mow our lawns and clean our offices from entering the US.
Great - Robert Wetzel now supports unlimited illegal immigration across our southern border. He has been driven insane by his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Growing up in Ohio in the 1960's, all the early teenage boys earned their pocket money mowing lawns in spring and summer, raking leaves in autumn, and shoveling snow in winter. There was no obesity among teenagers. There were no illegal Latinos around -and somehow the neighborhood survived - and prospered.
Haha. So now not only did the Mexicans take er jebs, they made us obese as well!
These people are a problem. I'm baffled how libertardians like you RW can show me how letting all this riff raff in with no checks makes for a libertarian society. You and others have yet to show me any of these people contribute anything to America. If we need labor that the lazy black population and others won't do, I guess we could do a Brasero type program.
So tell me RW, why is it wrong to build a wall like other countries?
Your prerogative to end migration ends at your property lines. If I choose to employ those across an imaginary line, it's of no concern of yours. Why are Marxists, like Lab Manager, so insistent that they can interfere in the affairs of private economic actors?
Trump should bring our troops home and let them protect the border. Maybe if a few invaders were shot by snipers when they tried to cross the Rio Grande they rest of them would stay home.
Do you really hold the view that Army or Marine snipers are assassins?
Mexico has a wall on it's southern border.


Reiki is a Japanese spiritual discipline which focuses on following a path to enlightenment. A part of this practice involves healing both yourself and other people by sharing universal energies. Universal energies can stimulate your body's own immune and repair systems in order to make your body operate how it was designed to be. Reiki can be used for self healing as well as helping others to overcome their own illnesses both physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Reiki is universal, so it works on plants ,animals, food, you just have to be willing to accept this Wonderfull energy, and it will change your life in a very profound way.
Whether you need healing yourself or wish to learn this practice I can help you to achive your full potential in your life.
Colour Reiki is a gentle non-invasive holistic therapy which will make a positive change to our lives. The invisible vibrations of colour can either relax or stimulate us according to the colours chosen for healing. Even blind people can develop a sense of colour. The Colour Reiki practitioner is sensitive to the vibrational energies of colour and channels this through themselves to the client. I teach this technique in regular workshops, click here for details.
Reflexology is a form of 'alternative' or 'complementary' medicine and involves a method of treatment using massage to reflex areas found in the feet and the hands. Most commonly, the feet are used as the areas to be treated.
The aim of Indian head massage is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders. Indian Head Massage is a treatment based on old Ayurvedic techniques involving work on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face. A variety of massage movements are used to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation and restore joint movement.
The client, fully clothed, sits in a massage chair for the treatment. The therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, the therapist will also gently stimulate and stroke pressure points on the face. The session will usually last from twenty to forty-five minutes.
Swedish Massage is designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. This form of massage was created at the turn of the century by Henry Peter Ling in Sweden. It involves the use of kneading, stroking, friction, tapping, and vibration and may provide relief from stiffness, numbness, pain, constipation, and other health problems. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Other possible benefits include stimulation of circulation, an increase in muscle tone, and a balance of the musculo-skeletal systems.
Aromatherapy is based on the use of very concentrated "essential" oils from the flowers, leaves, bark, branches, rind or roots of plants with healing properties. These potent oils are mixed with a carrier (usually soybean or almond oil) or the oils are diluted with alcohol or water and rubbed on the skin, sprayed in the air, inhaled or applied as a compress.
The aroma of these "essential" oils directly stimulates the brain or that the oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, where they can affect the whole body and promote healing.
Ear candles can help with the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, where grommets are in place or those who may have an allergy to the ingredients. The treatment is very gentle and relaxing and may take up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children.
The Hopi candle is not a candle as such, but a hollow tube made out of cotton flax. To stiffen the flax, they are impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils (in particular chamomile, sage and St Johns wort), the healing properties of which have been known to the Hopi tribe for hundreds of years.
Everyone has their own capacity for self-healing and if this is allowed it to become fully active patients can be empowered to be their own healers in a truly effective way. A session usually lasts for about an hour. The recipient removes their shoes and socks and may be either sitting or lying down. The practitioner uses a light touch on the spinal reflex points in the feet, hands and head.
The Metamorphic Technique is gentle, non-invasive and completely safe. As it is the person's own life force that does the healing, it cannot do any harm. It can be safely used by anyone including children, pregnant mothers and people who are dying. The Technique can be received on its own or alongside other approaches, whether conventional medicine or alternative and complementary therapies.

FTC Examines Proposed Amendments to the GLBA Safeguards Rule in Full-Day Workshop
On July 13, 2020, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) held a workshop examining the proposed amendments to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act's (GLBA's) Safeguards Rule, which would expand the scope of companies covered by the Rule and mandate that covered entities take certain specific steps to secure customers' information, including encryption and multi-factor authentication.
A key goal of the workshop was to better understand the costs and benefits of the practices set forth in the proposed amendments. Topics of focus included (1) price models for specific elements of information security programs; (2) standards for security in various industries; (3) the availability of third party information security services aimed at different sized institutions; (4) information about penetration and vulnerability testing; and (5) the costs of, and possible alternatives to, encryption and multifactor authentication.
The proposed amendments have been criticized by two of the FTC's Commissioners, who have expressed concern that they are "overly prescriptive" and may "trad[e] flexibility for a costly one-size-fits-all approach," and have emphasized that "input from stakeholders [is] vital." The FTC is accepting comments through August 12, 2020, providing industry stakeholders with an additional opportunity to add to the evidentiary record that the FTC will consider in deciding whether to amend the Rule.
The Proposed Amendments Would Significantly Change the Safeguards Rule. The Safeguards Rule requires companies defined as "financial institutions" to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program designed to insure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of that information, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.1 The FTC adopted the Safeguards Rule on May 23, 2003 pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)2 and no changes have been made to the Rule since its adoption. On March 5, 2019, the FTC announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed several amendments to the Safeguards Rule, including:
More Specific and Prescriptive Security Requirements. The NPRM proposes amending the Rule to include more specific and prescriptive security requirements for information security programs, similar to the cybersecurity regulations issued by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYCRR 500). For example, the proposed amendments would require that financial institutions protect by encryption all customer information held or transmitted, both in transit over external networks and at rest. Furthermore, the new rules would require financial institutions to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for any individual accessing customer information. The MFA would need to include at least two of the three following factors: (1) Knowledge Factor (e.g., passwords, biographical information); (2) Possession Factor (e.g., tokens, possession of devices); and (3) Inherence Factor (e.g., biometric characteristics such as fingerprints or voice). The rules would allow for financial institutions to implement alternative controls if they are approved by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Provisions Designed to Improve Accountability. The NPRM also proposes adding provisions designed to improve the accountability of a financial institution's information security program. For example, the revised rule would require financial institutions to designate a single qualified individual CISO, who is responsible for overseeing, implementing, and enforcing the information security program. The CISO would also be required to provide an annual written report to the Board of Directors or equivalent governing body regarding the status of the information security program. The amendments would also require institutions to base their security programs on a written risk assessment and require institutions to periodically perform additional risk assessments and regulatory tests, or to otherwise monitor the effectiveness of the program.
Exemption for Small Business From Certain Requirements. The proposed amendments would exempt smaller financial institutions that maintain relatively small amounts of customer information (those that maintain customer information concerning fewer than 5,000 customers) from the requirements for written assessments. Businesses qualifying for the exemption would not be required to generate a written risk assessment, a continuous monitoring or annual penetration testing and biannual vulnerability assessment, a written incident response plan, or the annual written report required of the CISO.
Expansion of the Scope of Covered "Financial Institution." The proposed amendments would expand the scope of a covered "financial institution" to explicitly include "finders," who charge a fee to connect consumers who are looking for a loan to a lender. The definition of a covered financial institution under the GLBA is not precise and the agency has at times used enforcement actions, rather than rulemaking, to map out the scope of coverage – for example, by bringing a recent GLBA enforcement action against a third-party software provider dealing with financial data used in credit transactions. The amendments would further include the definition of "financial institution" and related examples in the Rule itself rather than cross-reference them from a related FTC rule, the Privacy of Consumer Financial Information Rule.
The Workshop Explored Practical Application of the Proposed Rules, As Well As Costs and Benefits. The workshop began with opening remarks from FTC staff attorney David Lincicum, who outlined the main requirements of the current Safeguards Rules, as well as the proposed amendments. Lincicum explained that the goal of the workshop was to engage with stakeholders with direct experience providing information security and better understand the costs and benefits of the practices set forth in the proposed rule (particularly for smaller businesses).
The FTC held five panel discussions with experts in industry, academia, and government on the following topics:
Panel 1: The Costs and Benefits of Information Security Programs
Panel 2: Information Security Programs and Smaller Businesses
Panel 3: Continuous Monitoring, Penetration, and Vulnerability Testing
Panel 4: Accountability, Risk Management, and Governance of Information Security Programs
Panel 5: Encryption and Multifactor Authentication
Common themes that panelists discussed throughout the day included the importance of outcome-driven rules; the need for a framework that contemplates increased use of cloud vendors; the high costs of maintaining a comprehensive information security program; and the impact of the rules on internal processes such as documentation, among others.
The workshop was initially scheduled to take place on May 13, 2020, but was rescheduled due to coronavirus-related (COVID-19) disruptions. The FTC is accepting comments through August 12, 2020.
If you have questions about the workshop or are interested in filing comments, please contact the one of the authors listed on this alert.

The photo above shows the impressive volcanic neck known as Shiprock, in the background, as viewed from its southward heading dike. This well-known landmark is located 11 mi (18 km) southwest of the town of Shiprock, New Mexico. Shiprock, standing 1,583 ft (483 m) above the surrounding terrain, has two major dikes; the one featured here in the foreground and another that leads west of the peak. Millions of years ago during the Oligocene epoch, the neck was deep inside an ancient volcano. Over the eons, the volcano eroded away, exposing the formation as we see it. The dikes were also created far beneath the surface when magma intruded into radial cracks, producing thin sheets of lava. Navajos called Shiprock Tse Bitai or Winged Rock. Photo taken 3.5 mi (5.6 km) from Shiprock on June 25, 2011.

1632. Oil on canvas. On display elsewhere
On August 29, 1626, King Philip IV's painter, Vicente Carducho (ca. 1576-1638), signed a contract for the creation of a cycle of paintings to celebrate the founding of the Carthusian Order by Saint Bruno and its leading members. This colossal undertaking sought to visually narrate numerous episodes from the Carthusians' history and tradition. It was the most complete commission ever dedicated to this order, a series of fifty-four large canvases and two more of a smaller size with the coats of arms of the king and the order. This project was originally conceived by Father Juan de Baeza (d. 1641), a fundamental figure for the Carthusians' spirituality and organization who closely controlled compliance with that order's postulates. Juan de Baeza furnished Carducho with the episodes to be included in the series, many of which were unpublished or barely known and previously unrepresented in Spain. In terms of its narrative content, the group was organized in two parts: the first twenty-seven canvases illustrate the life of the order's founder, Saint Bruno of Cologne (1035-1101), from the moment he decided to abandon public life and retire to the Grande Chartreuse Valley, north of Grenoble, through this death and first posthumous miracle. The second group glosses meaningful episodes in the order's history, which took place in the principle European charterhouses between the 11th and 16th centuries. This group reveals the order's strong founding drive, as well as some of its identity traits, including withdrawal to solitary and very beautiful settings, and a life of humility, mortification and penance, dedicated to study and prayer. The second group closes with a set of heroic scenes that represent episodes of persecution and martyrdom suffered by some Carthusian communities during the 15th and 16th centuries -images that seek to strengthen the monks' faith while depicting Europe's religious and territorial conflicts at that time. The series was painted between 1626 and 1632, following a laborious creative process that included the production of numerous drawings and sketches, as well as the necessary participation of some assistants. Like most 16th and 17th -century cloister series, this project was originally conceived by Carducho as a mural group. Over the course of his extensive career, he had already demonstrated his mastery of fresco painting, which was the most characteristic and, a priori, appropriate for this type of narrative cycle -at least in Italy, where every detail of this technique was known. However, the complexity of the project, the location of El Paular, and the order's rigorous cloistering probably argued against the use of that technique. The large canvases have a semicircular arch at the top to fit the gothic segments of the cloister designed by Juan de Egas between 1484 and 1486.
This scene narrates the last episode in the attack on the Roermond charterhouse, which concludes with the murder of Fathers Herck and Loewen in front of the city walls. Their death is by firearms and, as in the previous sequence, two angels hurry to crown the Carthusian monks and hand them the martyrs' palm. This work closes the Carthusian cycle with the narration that is closest in time to its commission (Text drawn from Ruiz, L. en: La recuperación de El Paular, 2013, pp. 185-190).

Within the past few months, we've heard from a number of customers that had bought new gift cards that weren't working properly with Lizzy. Previously, we have not needed to specify gift card formatting, as gift card providers were using the same formatting as that used for credit cards. We're not sure why, but that process seems to have changed recently. We've seen gift cards from numerous companies with formatting unlike any we've ever seen used for gift cards before. The main issue is that there are special characters being inserted into the magnetic stripe data (such as dashes and semi-colons). However, we've pinpointed the exact formula that needs to be used in order for Lizzy to read the gift cards properly.
Please ask your gift card provider to ensure they are using the following format: %B12345678^.
If you're used to reading the layout of a credit card swipe, that's exactly what we're looking for here. When a credit card is swiped, the track data always starts with %B, and is followed by the actual gift card number (in this case, the gift card number is 12345678). This is followed by an end sentinel, a carat (^). It does not matter how many digits are in the gift card number, nor does it matter what gift card number you start with, as long as you are not reusing gift card numbers that were previously used in Lizzy (as Lizzy will not be able to treat those as separate cards). If your gift card provider follows this format exactly, it does not matter what else is contained in the magnetic stripe data; Lizzy will be able to read your gift card successfully.
For more information on gift cards and Lizzy, please see our blog post here.


To better understand the Skagit Regional Transportation System and develop solutions to inform the Regional Transportation Plan and associated programs, SCOG may conduct a study in a specific area or topic. These studies inform decision makers as they explore a wide range of possible alternatives for transportation improvements, in order to identify preferred solutions.
Two examples of recent studies which inform decision making at the regional level include the Cook Road Corridor Study and the Skagit Rail Crossing Study. Both studies identify challenges related to the intermodal transportation network, where different modes of transportation intersect. Maintaining mobility, safety, economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and preserving the existing transportation system are all goals of the transportation planning process. Studies and reports help to identify solutions which meet these regional priorities both now and in future years.

Football-fanatic friends walk to 12 Midlands clubs in 8 days to raise money for young cancer patients
East Midlands Airport (EMA) worker, Matt Roberts, and a team of friends will visit 12 Midlands football clubs in eight days, as they walk 170 miles to raise vital funds for children and young people's cancer support charity, CLIC Sargent.
Matt Roberts (35) Operations Development and Safety Assistant at EMA, is joined by his brother, Jonathan (41), and friend Simon Milbourne (34). Simon's sons Tyler and Charlie Milbourne (aged 14 and 12) will also walk alongside them for part of their journey.
The group will depart from Port Vale Football Club's ground Vale Park in Stoke-On-Trent on Friday 23 March.
From there they will head to (in order): Stoke City, Burton Albion, Walsall, Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Notts County and Derby County.
They aim to arrive at Derby County's Pride Park Stadium on Easter Saturday, 31 March, just in time for kick-off, after tackling an average distance of 26 miles a day.
The 170 miles that will be walked represents the £170 grant which CLIC Sargent gives to families and young adults to help with the immediate financial needs that they face after a cancer diagnosis.
The walkers are hoping to raise £2,500 in sponsorship and are calling for people to donate what they can to help support young cancer patients and their families.
Matt said: "I have seen what great work CLIC Sargent do to support young people and families. I feel this challenge is the least I can do to try and help raise money to support this wonderful charity."
And as if the challenging walk wasn't tough enough, the lads will kick a football along the entirety of the walk.
CLIC Sargent is the UK's leading cancer support charity for children and young people aged 0-24 and their families. Its team including social workers, cancer nurses and play specialists provide emotional, practical and financial support.
