Leather can be restored in two ways.
1. Using the leather recolouring balm. This is a simple wipe on and buff off application, however it requires the leathers surface to be absorbant in order for the balm to properly penetrate. It also works if the surface coating has split/cracked exposing a lighter colour beneath.The advantages of using the balm are that it is cheap and easy to use, and the results are very pleasing.
2. If you want to restore the leather to pristine condition, fixing all scuffs and cracks, then follow the instructions provided below. Both the guide video and pictorial section use a leather car interior for demonstration purposes, the same method can be used to restore any leather item, including furniture & upholstery.
In this guide we will restore the car seat shown in the photo on the left.
The cracking on the leather is relatively minor so for this example we will be using Leather Binder and the Leather Colourant Kit to carry out the restoration.
If the leather being restored had more severe cracking we would also need to use Flexifil to achieve a professional result.
The first step is preparing the leather ready for applications of colour. We do this to remove the manufacturers finish and any waxes, oils or silicones that may be present on the leather, not removing these could cause adhesion problems. If the leather is very dirty, clean it first with the leather ultra clean.
To prep the leather, simply take the abrasive pad and place the cotton wool buds provided in the kit lined along the middle, then pour a small amount of prep onto the buds and fold the abrasive pad over them. Use this to apply the prep to the leather as shown, this will allow a controlled release of the Leather Prep and will make the product last longer. Extra care should be taken at this stage to properly treat any creases, folds or areas around stitching to ensure the best result. The leather is correctly prepped when you start to see colour transfer from the leather onto the abrasive pad or cloth.
There are some silicones like spray on polish and waxes that aren't soluble in solvents such as the Leather Prep, and so to remove these we need to use the alcohol cleaner.
After using the leather prep wipe the leather down thoroughly with a cloth dampened in the Alcohol Cleaner, for ease of use you could also spray the alcohol cleaner directly onto the leather and wipe away with the cloth. This will ensure that all residue and contaminants have been removed from the leather before proceeding with the restoration.
Now wait 30 minutes for the cleaners to evapourate and leave the surface of the leather dry.
The first process is to strengthen the leather to prevent future cracking. The Leather Binder is applied with a sponge and is absorbed by the leather holding all the worn leather fibres together. Apply approximately 8-10 coats to the entire surface, leaving time for each coat to dry before applying the next. It is important that excess binder that may build up around areas of stitching should be wiped away before it dries.
Note for items with severe cracking only: At this stage, after the binder has had time to dry, you would then use the flexifil to fill in any deep cracking in the leather, building it up in thin layers, untill they are filled level with the surface of the leather and allowing to properly dry (30 minutes should be sufficient for this). The area should then be sanded down with a fine sandpaper (1200) and wiped down with alcohol cleaner again before progressing to step 4.
The first layer of colourant should be applied with a sponge; shake the bottle of colourant for about 3 minutes to make sure it is well mixed. Pour a small amount onto a sponge and rub into the leather.
The idea is to sponge on a thin coat of colour working it into any gaps, creases and hard to reach areas. Apply light pressure here to work the colourant into the grain. If you apply too much pressure you may get a foam of colour on the surface, this is not a problem, just wipe it away with the sponge (gently).
After waiting around 30 minutes for the first layer of colourant to thoroughly dry, you can then proceed to spray the colourant onto the leather. Set up your spray gun or airbrush and then spray the leather at a comfortable distance, taking care not to over apply the colour. It is best to practice a bit on a piece of paper to get the hang of spraying first. Spray the colourant on in thin layers leaving sufficient time for the previous to dry before applying the next. This avoids runs and so makes for a nicer finish.
There is no right number of coats that should be applied to the leather. Spray on one coat and dry it off, then just keep spraying on a coat at a time until all of the base colour is hidden.
The leather finish is then applied in the exact same way as the colourant. We recommend spraying on at least 4-5 layers of the glossy super-seal, and then build up thin layers of Leather Finish, using the entire contents provided, as this gives a very strong coating guaranteeing a very long life span of your job!
As with the Leather Colourant, you should leave sufficient time for the previous coat to dry before applying the next.
The leather finish further enhances the feel and texture of the leather, it gives you a lovely soft and delicate touch, even if the leather was rough beforehand!
This guide will show you how to change the colour of a leather car seat. We will be changing the colour of this car interior from red to cream, but it is possible to change to any colour you want. A colour change can be made from any colour to another, i.e. black to white, or white to black, with just as successful results.
This photo shows a red leather car seat from a Rolls Royce. This guide will show you how to change the colour of the leather car interior.
The first stage is to prep the leather using an abrasive pad. This process removes the transparent manufactured finish applied to leather. Removing the finish allowing colour to properly adhere to the leather.
As shown in the photo, as the finish is removed, so is the colour (but not all the colour). Basically, when you remove some colour form an area, that indicates the finish has been removed, and so, you can move onto the next area.
Once you have prepped an area with the abrasive pad, you often get a lot of prep and colour sitting on the surface. This is very common with old Rolls Royce, jaguar, Bentley, Aston Martin and other cars that used Connolly leather.
So, we wipe the leather with a cloth to remove the excess prep & colour. This tends not to happen as much with modern cars (1980's +) as the way leather was made changed, becoming more resilient against the prep. Not to worry though, it doesn't affect the end result!
The photo to the left shows what the leather should look like after being prepped. You can see where the colour has almost completely been removed in the middle flutes of the seat. Notice that the shine has also gone making the leather look more matt. This is the main indicator of correctly prepped leather (no shine), as the colour will not always be removed.
Important Note: Leather is painted, that is how a wide variety of colours are achieved. When leather becomes old, it looks as though it cracks, but most of the time it is actually the paint that is cracked, not the leather itself. When you prep the leather, the painted layer is either removed or reduced greatly (as shown in the above picture) and so all the cracks are removed as well. This makes for a very smooth finish and excellent end result.
Using a cloth, wipe the leather down with the alcohol cleaner. This process removes any waxes, oils or silicones that may be on the leather. Removing these gives better adhesion of colour.
As you can see so far, like any job, preparation is the key to success. Take your time when doing it and your end results will be great. Its not a hard job to do - it can just be quite time consuming!
After prepping the leather, there may still be a few small cracks in the leather. These are fixed by spreading the Flexifil over the leather with a pallete knife. The filler only sits in the cracked leather. After applying a layer, leave for 5-10 minutes to dry. Build the flexifil up in thin layers until all cracks are filled to be level with the surface of the leather.
The leather should then sanded smooth using fine 1200 grit sand paper.
Once the leather has been properly cleaned and all repairs have been made, it is then time to apply the colour.
The first coat is applied by sponge. This is done to work the colour into hard to reach areas and to also minimise later spray applications. As you can see by the photo, the colourant used is highly concentrated and so, changes the colour of the leather quickly.
This photo shows roughly what the leather should look like after one base coat of colour has been applied.
When applying the base coat do not rub too hard for too long. Instead, applying gentle pressure, wipe the colourant onto the leather with a sponge.
To speed up drying use a hair drier and it should take no more than 5 minutes to be thoroughly dry.
The next step is to spray the leather colourant onto the leather using the airbrush in the kit. To start with, spray the colour around the edges of the piping and in between the seat flutes.
This is covering the harder to reach areas first, which in the end, makes the job easier, and uses less colourant. Then proceed to spray the colourant on in thin coats over the seats until it looks nice and uniform. Always let the previous layer of colourant dry before spraying more on top.
After applying the colourant you should then seal it in with the finish. First spray on the Super-Seal, spray this on in 3-4 coats, then the Leather Finish should be applied. Spray on the leather finish in approximately 7-8 thin coats for best results. Always remember to leave time for each layer to dry before applying the next.
This photo shows the two front seats from the car, after a total colour change. We changed them to a specially selected cream by our customer and applied satin finish.


There has been an increase in the number of premature deaths amongst honeybees. Robert Danka, the research leader at the USDA Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics, and Physiology Laboratory in Baton Rouge, says "beekeepers are working harder just to keep the numbers up." In the past, it was believed that beekeepers would lose 10-15 percent of their colonies annually, but now they are losing colonies at double that rate.
"Ten percent is one thing. Thirty or 40 percent is something different," Danka stated. Fortunately, there has not been a decrease in production even with the honeybee decline. Several stressors that threaten honeybee health, as Danka reminds us, include pests, parasites, pathogens, pesticides, habitat loss, and general overworked bees. For the Baton Rouge area, specifically, he claims the expanding student housing has contributed to habitat loss—the land used for apartment complexes for students used to house bees.
Honeybees have dealt with numerous pests throughout the years, but varroa mites are the ones threatening bees on practically every continent. Varroa mites usually reproduce during the bees' formation process, infecting the entire colony overtime. Danka and his team have been identifying characteristics of mite-resistant bees and are breeding bees with those traits—the USDA have been working on this for over 20 years.
Kristen Healy, a medical entomology professor at Louisiana State University, believes climate is another stressor among bee health. "Think about how a human deals with stress," Healy said. "You pile so many stressors onto an individual that it compounds the effects of each one of those stresses." Healy and others are studying the effects of pesticides on bees, specifically relating to toxicity and exposure. Some pesticides are worse than others, Healy explains, and it's important to release pesticides when bees are back in their hives.
Chris Frink, a local Baton Rouge beekeeper, said he lost two colonies during the summer after excessive rain and wet weather. "[The weather] kept them from flying and might have made it easier for pests to flourish," he said. Whatever the root cause may be, the annual loss of honeybee colonies is still ongoing and problematic.
Most of Frink's meetings with the Capital Avid Beekeeping Club include discussions on how to keep colonies healthy. "We're not rescuing bees from extinction by getting backyard beekeepers going," Frink said, "but we are raising awareness about the importance of bees to our food system, gardens, and yards," something he, LSU, and the USDA have in common and hopefully something the rest of his community will have in common as well.
Finding wild honeybees is getting harder and harder each year. We would remove over 50 unwanted hives in homes twenty years ago and now we are lucky to get 2!

Outsider Art Fair to Host Readings of Obama's Words Beginning on Inauguration Day
Fair attendees, invited guests, and members of the public are invited to recite quotes from the President's speeches, interviews, and other appearances.

To mark Inauguration Day, the Outsider Art Fair (OAF) in New York City will initiate a weekend-long series of readings of the words of President Barack Obama on January 20.
Titled "The Barack Obama Readings," the project will consist of three sessions at which fair attendees, invited guests, and members of the public can recite selected quotes from the outgoing President's speeches, interviews, and other appearances. Fifty-six passages of varying lengths have been chosen by the fair's owner, gallerist Andrew Edlin, and are posted online at the OAF's website. People are also welcome to choose their own lines by Obama and submit them to [email protected] to schedule a reading.
"We knew a year in advance that OAF would be during Inauguration Day, but we couldn't have foreseen this scenario in a million years!" Edlin told Hyperallergic. "We felt that as a leading cultural event, we had to acknowledge how surreal and odd this has all been. Celebrating President Obama as a phenomenal leader by using only his words seemed like a proactive, positive, and even patriotic note to hit."
The readings will take place in two-hour sessions, from 3 to 5pm on each day that the OAF is open to the public. Anyone interested in participating may email the fair to sign up; their time slot also gives them free entry to the otherwise ticketed ($20 for one day) event. Asked why he decided to hold a project like this in the midst of an art fair, Edlin replied, "Doing something performative is in keeping with the fair's spirit and is also a nod to other trailblazers who have reacted to controversial political times. 'The Barack Obama Readings' will give people an outlet to express themselves, sort of like in an old-style, public square kind of way."
Inauguration Day is shaping up to be highly charged across the country. Using the abbreviation #J20, some organizers have called for a general strike, while #DisruptJ20 is planning more specific resistance efforts to President-elect Donald Trump. The art community has become involved, too, with a group of artists, critics, curators, and dealers proposing a #J20 art strike. (Hyperallergic is commissioning a series of essays about the strike, the first of which was written by Coco Fusco and published yesterday.)
"The Barack Obama Readings" make clear that the OAF will not be closing on Inauguration Day. Edlin referred to this decision in his comments to Hyperallergic, saying, "While there are art world insiders leading the charge to close on Friday, we thought better to show up than shut down."
"The Barack Obama Readings" will take place at the Outsider Art Fair (Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan) on January 20, 21, and 22, from 3 to 5pm.

Apple Aperture to ship November 30?
Tuesday, November 22, 2005 | by Rob Galbraith
While we've not yet received official word from Apple regarding a precise ship date for Aperture 1.0, activity on the web site of at least one major retailer suggests that the software may begin shipping on November 30, 2005.
We've been hunting for clues of Aperture's release date on various online retailers, including amazon.com, every few days. Some time over the weekend, Aperture's availability status on that site changed from "This item has not yet been released" to "This item will be released on November 30, 2005." In addition, a post earlier today in the Rob Galbraith DPI forums, by wedding shooter Robert Mehr, quotes an email from amazon.com that appears to confirm the November 30th ship date:
"Although we do have your copy of "Apple Aperture Post Production Tool for Photographers (Mac DVD)" on hand, we are not able to ship it to you until its official release date, November 30, 2005."
And, the estimated ship date at the online U.S. Apple Store has also recently been moved up, to "1 week." Earlier Apple Store delivery estimates put the software as coming available in December. So, for those hankering to get the first release of Apple's new pro photo workflow application installed, the wait may not be much longer.
Update, November 26: On the front page of the online Apple Stores for the U.S. and Canada, the Aperture link in the Apple Software section has changed to include a "Now Shipping" logo, though the Aperture product page still indicates a shipping estimate of "1 week."
Apple has also posted a utility that can check whether your Mac is capable of running Aperture, while Peachpit Press is readying for release on November 29, 2005 an Apple Pro Training Series book called Getting Started with Aperture.

Access Relationship Seminar
Just about everything there is to know about relationships in Access
In this seminar, you will learn just about everything there is to know about relationships in Microsoft Access. Setting up proper relationships between your tables is absolutely crucial to building a successful database. Bad table design, and bad relationships between those tables, is disasterous, and will cause you nothing but trouble down the line.
This seminar covers just about all of the different possible relationship scenarios that you will ever come across. We will build eight (8) different database projects so you can see how to set up good relationships between your tables.
Watch this video to learn more about this seminar:
You can watch first two lessons plus the final review lesson in our Online Theater. There you will learn more about exactly what's covered. Then continue reading the course outline below if you have further questions. Of course, if you have specific questions about the seminar that aren't covered here, always feel free to contact customer service.
Seminars - Access Relationships
Description: Learn about the different ways to properly set up relationships in your Access databases.
Versions: I will use Access 2010, however the lessons are valid for all versions of Access back to 2000 with some minor cosmetic differences.
Pre-Requisites: This course is mostly for beginner to intermediate users. Basic knowledge of Access table, query, and form design is a must. You should have at least taken my Beginner Access courses before taking this seminar. A couple of the later lessons are for advanced users. There will be some VBA and a little bit of SQL used, so it would help for you to have taken my Access 300-level courses as well, but that's not necessary. I will explain what you need to know to get the databases working. Most of the course doesn't require any advanced knowledge, however.
Running Time: 3 Hours, 58 minutes
Cost: $99 - Order multiple courses to receive a discount up to 50% off
This seminar will teach you about all of the following types of relationships:
1. No relationships
2. One-to-Many
3. One-to-One
4. Many-to-Many
5. Self-Join One-to-Many
6. Self-Join Many-to-Many
7. Reverse Relationships
8. Multiple Relationships
We will build sample databases to track:
1. Children to Parents with their relation (one-to-many)
2. Which parents receive mail on their child's behalf
3. Student data with a secondary optional detail table (one-to-one)
4. Vendors to Products and vice versa (many-to-many)
5. Employees to Supervisors (self-join, one-to-many)
6. Complete family history with relationships (self-join, many-to-many)
7. Organizations to Members (whether companies, families, charities, etc.)
We will begin by looking at in table that has no relationships. You'll learn how NOT to build a database. This is basically one table with all kinds of information in it that shouldn't be there.
Next we'll build a database to track students and parents. This is a one-to-many relationship where one student can have many parents. We'll also keep track of which parents will receive mail for each student.
We will learn about one-to-one relationships. This is handy if you have a lot of data but you only have some information on most of your records. For example, if you have a student database but only have names for most of your students. You need to be able to track additional information such as address, phone number, and so on, however you only have that information for a small group of students. A 1-to-1 relationship saves a lot of space in your database in this instance. Plus you can also put sensitive information in a separate table, such as financial data.
Next we will learn how to create many-to-many relationships. These are quite popular but difficult to implement because they involve a third table. You need a junction table to link two other tables in a many-to-many relationship. For example ,we will learn how to track vendors and the products they sell, however each product may also be offered by multiple vendors. This is the basis for a many to many relationship.
Next we'll create a self-join table. This is where a table relates to itself. We'll create an employee form that allows us to choose a supervisor for each employee. However, the supervisor is just an employee, so the table relates to itself.
You'll also learn how to create a grouped report showing each supervisor in the employees he supervises. This requires building a query using the same table twice.
Next you'll create a another self-join table. We will track people and their relatives again, but this time we will set up a many-to-many relationship so each person can relate to each other person in the same table. This allows you to set up complete family trees (great for genealogy databases).
Next we will set up something that I like to call a reverse relationship. We'll specify two people, tell the database that one of them is (for example) the other person's uncle, and the database will figure out that the reverse relationship is niece or nephew.
This is one of the more advanced lessons in this seminar. It will use a little VBA programming and some SQL. I will show you everything you need to know to get the database working, but taking my SQL Seminar and advanced Access lessons first would be a great help. But don't worry, I'll show you how to get the database is working. Just follow along a step by step.
Finally will make a database to track organizations and members. Now in organization can be a family, company, charity, church, or anything else you want it to be. We'll track members of that organization in a many to many relationship. These can be family members, employees, donors, etc.
We will track multiple addresses for each organization and for each member. We will also build a contact management table to keep track of correspondence with each organization or member. We will build one big form so that we can see all of the information for each organization. We'll do the same thing for each member.
So as you can see we cover just about everything there is to know about relationships in Microsoft Access. From the very basic to the advanced, you will definitely know how to properly setup your tables and relationships after watching this seminar.. Of course, if you have any questions about whether or not this seminar is for you, please contact me.
NOTE: There is a NEW lesson on database table normalization found in Access Expert Level 2 that wasn't included in this seminar. It's not necessary for you to learn, but it covers a lot of theory that isn't discussed in this seminar. It was recorded after this seminar was finished.

Ferrari's (NYSE:RACE) Factory is Open and Fully Operational
By HEFFX on March 10, 2020
$RACE
Ferrari (NYSE: RACE) declared Tuesday that its factory and HQ's are operating despite being located inside the area of Italy that has been placed under quarantine to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Ferrari employees have a reason to work!
In a statement, Ferrari said that the measures introduced by the Italian government on 8 March allow for some level of "continued working activity," and that it has taken all of the steps required to try to protect its employees as they continue to work.
Over 7,000 people in Italy have tested positive for COVID-19, most in the country's northern industrial provinces.
The government has put a large area of northern Italy, including the cities of Milan and Modena, under quarantine measures to try to contain the spread of the virus.
Ferrari builds about 10,000 cars a year at its factory in Maranello, near Modena, Italy.
Ferrari said that the situation may change, as it remains in ongoing discussions with the Italian authorities, and emphasized that the health and wellbeing of its employees is the priority.
Ferrari's F1 racing team said that its plans for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, in Melbourne, are going ahead despite travel restrictions. Team officials said that some team members and equipment are in Australia, and that its plans will proceed as scheduled unless government officials tell it otherwise.
Ferrari is the Aristocrat of the automotive sector.
Enzo Ferrari's iconic Italian Supercar manufacturer claimed the title according to the latest Brand Finance Global 500 2019 report launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
HeffX-LTN overall technical outlook for RACE is Neutral to Bullish, there is Key resistance 164.16 and support is NIL, 1 of my Key indicators the RSI has turned Bullish as the stock is very oversold in here.
Ferrari finished at 146.24, or +8.61 Tuesday in NY.
Ferrari will continue to create value in the long term. Ferrari is a quality 1st long term luxury products investment, and I have called it at it at 200+/share long term, adjusting it to 200/share short term and siding with BAML to 230 long term for now.

Sydney To Be Hit With Rain Bomb Today
For a while there it felt like the Summer weather would be sticking around Sydney with the insane number of hot days we've been experiencing.
But now it looks like we can say goodbye to the sun for a while with the east coast of Australia set to see an absolute drenching over the next couple of days.
Forecasters are expecting a rain bomb to hit parts of NSW with severe thunderstorms and "flash flooding a real threat".
Sydney itself is expecting to see more than half of the average rainfall predicted for March in one single day with over 60mm predicted for today.
Wet days coming up for the coast. Tomorrow looks like it will be the wettest between the Illawarra Coast and the Central Coast (with Sydney right in the middle) ☂. Explore the details at https://t.co/1yxAIPrpyJ ("50% chance of more than" map below). pic.twitter.com/bXtKG8VGBo
— Bureau of Meteorology, New South Wales (@BOM_NSW) March 12, 2019
Storms are also predicted to hit parts of Sydney in the afternoon or early evening according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The wet weather will continue across the weekend so you may want to make plans to stay indoors.
Friday will be cloudy and 24 degrees with an 80% chance of showers and the possibility of 15 to 45mm or rain.
There are tops of 25 degrees expected for Saturday although the rainfall will be significantly less with only 2 to 6mm expected.
Sunday will see tops of 26 degrees with a chance of showers set to bring 2 to 6mm once again.
The rain is set to ease off early next week but that doesn't mean the sun will reappear anytime soon with cloud cover still expected across Sydney up until Wednesday.

IBM MAINFRAME: DUMP DATASETS VS TRACE DATASETS!
DUMP DATASETS VS TRACE DATASETS!
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2016 11:31 pm Post subject: DUMP DATASETS VS TRACE DATASETS!
I 'm confused about the content of the DUMP DATASET and TRACE DATASET.
How I can related to them together?
What is deference between these contents?
And what is the common between themes?
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2016 12:48 am Post subject: Reply to: DUMP DATASETS VS TRACE DATASETS!
Dumps and traces are both used in debugging problems. However, their basic nature is very different -- a dump is a point-in-time snapshot of the system (hopefully at or near the time of an ABEND) whereas a trace is a time-based listing of commands (instructions) issued. Many dumps include some trace information since it can be helpful to know what was happening before the dump occurred.
1-From a CICS® system dump, using the CICS print dump exit, DFHPD710.
2-From a transaction dump, using the CICS dump utility program, DFHDU710.
Quote'd. Also, please don't use sizes and colours to draw attention to a particular point you want to make. Oh, wait..
The difference is that a CICS System Dump is a dump of the CIC address space whereas a transaction dump is a dump of just the storage related to a CICS transaction - a much smaller beast.


To mark national Nurse Practitioner Week, University of Minnesota Health profiled Nurse Practitioner Ludmila Johnson.
In honor of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners' national Nurse Practitioner Week, University of Minnesota Health profiled one of our own nurse practitioners, Ludmila Johnson.
Sincere hugs, a heartfelt 'thank you,' a smile.
These small gestures make Ludmila Johnson's work rewarding. Johnson, a Certified Nurse Practitioner at the University of Minnesota Health Neurology Clinic, helps her patients navigate complex health care systems. In honor of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners' national NP Week, we posed several questions to Johnson about her role in the University of Minnesota Health community.
I am passionate about my professional role because of the multiple opportunities I have to learn and share my knowledge with patients and their families.
How does your work as a nurse practitioner fit into the larger structure of the care team? In what ways do you, and others in a similar role, impact the overall patient experience?
The modern health care system is complex, and navigating it is difficult for our patients and their families—and for the providers, too. We rely on teamwork. The keys to successful teamwork are respect for one another and a willingness to communicate with each other, including our patients and families. It's my duty to be an accessible team player for our patients, and to ensure I am able to listen and communicate the patient's needs to other team members.
What is one of your favorite memories from your job?
Once, I received a sincere hug from a patient who suffered from headaches for many years. The patient was a Spanish speaker and it took me sometime to understand the causes of her headaches. When she returned for a follow-up visit, she simply hugged me because she found that her treatment was very helpful. Her hug was very unexpected, but rewarding. Any small moment when I can help a patient or a colleague gets added to my "album of my favorite memories." I hope that this album will be full by the time I retire.
Diversity of patient population and the people with whom I work. The University of Minnesota Health community enables me to submerge in a rich cultural environment and gives me opportunities to pursue lifelong learning. I also enjoy the academic environment I work in.
Tell us one surprising or interesting fact about your work as a NP.
The interesting fact about my work as an NP is that I am able to combine my different clinical skills and experiences to deliver an exceptional, direct patient care.
I would like to share my dream for a research-based, integrative health clinic that is available to our patients. I do believe that we all should slow down, take a deep breath, clear our minds and think about what all of us can do to further develop the already-robust University of Minnesota Health community.

Our founder did experimentations in the great winemaking district in Bordeaux France which verified that his hands off "Art" approach to wine was consistent with the practices from the great regions of the world. He therefore uses French and or California styles techniques on which style he believes suits the vintage of a particular year. In the Bordeaux style you will find meritages which are blends of usually up to three grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc) His single grape style, made popular by Napa Valley features reserve editions of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Chardonnay.

Share this Story: Travellers' antibiotics may do more harm than good
Travellers' antibiotics may do more harm than good
Kathryn Doyle • Reuters
People who travel to exotic locales and take along their own antibiotics are more likely to come back colonized with resistant bacteria, according to a new Finnish study.
Many travellers take along antibiotics to treat so-called "traveller's diarrhea" - and if they have the medications along, they are likely to use them even for minor ailments, according to lead author Dr. Anu Kantele of Helsinki University Central Hospital.
In most cases this is a bad idea, she said.
"If you have mild or moderate diarrhea, you will not need antibiotics" but should drink lots of fluids and, if needed, take medication that relieves the diarrhea like loperamide (Imodium), if you brought any, she said.
Severe diarrhea might require antibiotics, but it also requires a medical evaluation, she said. Diarrhea can be a symptom of other, more severe diseases such as malaria. It can be dangerous to try to self-manage malaria with the wrong medication, she said.
"At home we doctors always recommend seeking medical care when you are very sick," Kantele said. "Why on earth would we advise anyone to decide differently in a developing country?"
Have you ever gotten sick while abroad?
She and her coauthors collected stool samples from 430 Finns before and after travel outside Scandinavia and tested them for two strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, known as extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
Overall, 288 of the 430 travellers experienced diarrhea while abroad. Sixty-six travellers took antibiotics during the trip, and 52 used the drugs to treat diarrhea, according to a report of the study in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Twenty-one percent of the travellers were colonized with an antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria on their return, most often those who travelled to Southeast Asia. No one who travelled to Europe, Australia or the Americas tested positive for the bacteria.
Taking antibiotics increased the risk of contracting the resistant bacteria: 17% of people who took no antibiotics were colonized on their return, compared to 46% of those who took the drugs for traveller's diarrhea.
"The majority of healthy travellers who get colonized have no symptoms and the bacteria disappear within a few months, so they never knew they carried it," Kantele said.
But the bacteria can be dangerous for some.
"These drug-resistant organisms are not dangerous to healthy individuals but if they are transmitted to immune compromised or chronically ill persons who are unable to control the infection . . . it would be a major problem because most standard antibiotics will not work and there are limited drugs available to treat such infections," said Dr. Jay S. Keystone of the Tropical Disease Unit at Toronto General Hospital.
Keystone coauthored an editorial published with the study.
These resistant bacteria should be treated and addressed both locally in the high-risk areas where they are and by preventing their spread around the world, keeping travellers from bringing them back to the home country, Kantele said.
"We need a big change in our attitude toward antibiotics, we need to respect them. When they are needed they can save our lives," Kantele said.
People with a high fever or bloody stool while abroad may need medication, and the best choice is to see a doctor if at all possible, she said.
As for carrying antibiotics on a trip, Kantele would recommend them "for travelers who go to remote areas, like Himalaya trekkers," Kantele said. "Areas with poor access to healthcare."
Keystone, however, said, "Personally, I would not leave home without an antibiotic and loperamide for travel to developing countries."
"In many developing countries, especially in rural areas, one is at risk of receiving an injection with unsterile equipment, a counterfeit or inactive drug or inappropriate treatment or in a hospital setting, becoming colonized with a drug resistant organism," Keystone told Reuters Health by email.
There are ways to prevent traveller's diarrhea, like taking precautions with food and water sources, drinking commercially bottled beverages, avoiding salads and street food, Keystone said.
But, he added, travellers should still take antibiotics along when they depart, and use them wisely.

Q: How to Fetch data to dynamically build out a custom Menu for a Layout? What I would like to do is, call an endpoint to get the list of categories to display in the Sidebar's Menu. I'm not seeing anything in the Layout that would handle this.  Am I missing something?  What would be the correct way to do this?

A: Thanks @François, good to know I don't need to look any further in the Layout or Menu files.
Looking at the Demo source code, I see this approach in action using Reacts useState and useEffect.
Posted for others, this is in my Admin component:
    const [categories, setCategories] = useState({categories: []});
useEffect(
    () => {
        dataProvider.getList('tools', {
            sort: '',
            pagination: {
                page: 1,
                perPage: 10
            }
        }).then(data =>

Q: How would I know when a client connects with this code? while (!Server.isShuttingDown)
{
   Server.client = Server.listener.AcceptTcpClient();
   Connection con = new Connection(Server.client);
}

How do I make it so that the server knows when the client is connected? I made a class for what happens when the client connects but that is useless 'till I make it so that it knows when the client connects.

A: Well the AcceptTpcClient method will block until a client connects - so insert a line between that and the Connection constructor call... or even after it, assuming that the Connection constructor starts a new thread.
Mind you, it looks like you're overwriting the value of a single variable variable - Server.client - on each iteration, which doesn't sound like a good idea. I suspect you'd be better off with:
while (!Server.IsShuttingDown) {
    var client = Server.Listener.AcceptTcpClient();
    // Act on "client has connected" here
    Connection con = new Connection(client);
}

(It's not clear why the Server object itself isn't doing all of this... or at least exposing an AcceptTcpClient method itself. Currently this looks like a bit of a violation of the Law of Demeter.)

Q: Modal Confirmation trying call another Modal Confirmation I have a problem I been trying to solve but as to no avail, can anyone help me please
Here is the result i want

*

*I have a modal dialog already popup

*it has 2 button Ok and Cancel

*When i press Ok button, it should trigger another modal dialog.

Is that possible because when i click Ok button the timing is that it finish the process first since the second calling is part of the first dialog box it does not open the second modal.

A: You may should try this jqModal. It can be implemented to create nested modal dialog.
There is a simple way to create nested dialog. You can use jQuery EasyUI messager. For example:
$.messager.confirm('Confirm','Are you sure you want to go to step 2?',function(r){
  if (r){
     // use nested dialog
     $.messager.confirm('Confirm','Are you sure you want to go to step 3?',function(r){
         if (r){
            $.messager.alert('Info','This is step 3!');
         } else {
            $.messager.alert('Warning','You finished step 2!');
         }
     });
  } else {
     $.messager.alert('Warning','You finished step 1!');

});

Hope it could be your alternative way :-)

A: What is the first process you do in first dialog? I implemented several nested dialog as well. I am using $.ajax to do the processing of the first dialog, and then open the second dialog using the success method:
    $firstdialog.dialog("option", "buttons", {
            "Submit": function () {
                    $.ajax({
                           url: '...',
                           type: 'POST',
                           data: { ... },
                           success: function (result) { $seconddialog.dialog('open'); }
                     });
            },
            "Cancel": function () {
                $firstdialog.dialog('close');

            }
        });

Hope this helped :)

Hoover officials held a groundbreaking ceremony this morning for the $76 million sports complex and event center being built next to Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
City leaders joined officials from the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Southeastern Conference, Alabama Sports Council and the construction and architectural firms that are involved in the project.
Hoover Executive Director Allen Pate noted there's no time to waste because the 155,000-square-foot indoor event center has to be completed in time for the 2017 SEC Baseball Tournament in May.
"They're coming back next year. We've got to be ready," Pate said.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey added to the urgency and said he hoped to see the construction equipment moving while groundbreaking attendees ate lunch next door at the Hoover Met.
Sankey said each of the four cities that sought to lure the SEC Baseball Tournament away from Hoover had unique character and presented unique opportunities, "but no one could provide a campus that is being developed here in Hoover."
The SEC Baseball Tournament has a wonderful 19-year history in Hoover, and the city's central location in the conference played a part in the decision to keep it in Hoover, Sankey said.
However, he's excited about the ability to for baseball fans to be engaged in new ways with the indoor event center and to build upon the success of past tournaments, he said.
Gene Hallman, president and CEO of the Alabama Sports Council, said the indoor center will include a sports bar with craft beers, a food court, merchandise area, fan activity area and players' lounge. Other new additions for the tournament will include a Ferris wheel in between the event center and the stadium and a zip line next to the Ferris wheel, Hallman said.
The indoor event center will be built to accommodate 11 regulation-size basketball courts or 17 regulation-size volleyball courts, trade shows with 300 booths, 2,400-seat banquets and theater-style seating for 5,000 people, Mayor Gary Ivey said. The facility also will include a walking track, performance center, food court, convenience store, locker rooms, meeting space and a climbing attraction.
The outdoor sports complex will include five NCAA regulation-size soccer/football/lacrosse fields, five NCAA regulation-size baseball (or softball) fields, 16 tennis courts with a pro shop, a 2-mile walking track, playground, splash pad and large event lawn, Ivey said.
The Hoover RV Park will be expanded from 149 to 172 spaces, and on-site parking at the Met and adjacent sports complex will be expanded from 3,200 to 5,000 parking spaces, he said.
"We think it's a pretty exciting day in Hoover," Ivey said. "This is going to, I really think, make Hoover a destination."
John Oros, president of the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the new sports complex and event center is a "game-changer" for the greater Birmingham area that will benefit all of Jefferson County.
"What happens here today is the beginning of a great future for youth sports in our area," Oros said. "This new special events center is another example of our area's continuing commitment to youth and amateur sports. It also indicates the continuing evolution of the greater Birmingham area into one of our nation's most attractive and sought-after collegiate and youth sports destinations."
The sports world is a highly competitive environment, Oros said.
"To successfully compete for dollars spent by visitors, you must continually invest in facilities that create new demand and are constructed to meet the needs of the customer," he said.
This new facility, when combined with the Birmingham Crossplex, will allow tourism officials to target new youth sports organizations that represent millions of dollars that can be spent by the parents of youth who come to the Birmingham area to compete in regional and national sports competitions, Oros said.
The new Hoover sports complex should have an estimated $35 million annual economic impact, he said.
Hoover Council President Jack Wright said he's seen the city grow from about 400 people in 1967 to about 86,000 residents today. With all the businesses in Hoover, there are 300,000 to 400,000 people in the city around lunchtime on a good day, he said.
"Hoover's come a long way, and Hoover is going in the right direction," Wright said.
Councilman Joe Rives, the council's liaison to the Hoover Parks and Recreation Board, thanked the Goodwyn Mills & Cawood architectural firm, Brasfield & Gorrie construction firm and Dunn Building Co. for their contributions to the project.
The new project will add to what makes Hoover a great place to live, work and raise a family and will bring national attention to the beautiful city in the upcoming years, Rives said.

Q: Performance Comparing Delphi tCanvas with .Net Graphics I use Delphi 10.3 and .Net 5.0. I know tCanvas is GDI and Graphics is GDI+ which outperforms the former. But in the following simple codes tCanvas is faster. The 5 times average milliseconds of Delphi is 185.00 and .Net is 351.20.
Why is tCanvas faster than Graphics, or is there any flaw in my codes?
Delphi
procedure TForm1.PaintBox1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  _Rectangle: TRect;
  _Rectangles: TList<TRect>;
  _Stopwatch: TStopwatch;
  i: Integer;
begin
  PaintBox1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clWhite;

  _Rectangle.Left := 0;
  _Rectangle.Top := 0;
  _Rectangle.Width := PaintBox1.Width;
  _Rectangle.Height := PaintBox1.Height;

  PaintBox1.Canvas.FillRect(_Rectangle);

  _Rectangles := TList<TRect>.Create;

  for i := 0 to 9999 do
  begin
    _Rectangle.Left := Random(1000);
    _Rectangle.Top := Random(1000);
    _Rectangle.Right := _Rectangle.Left + 5;
    _Rectangle.Bottom := _Rectangle.Top + 5;

    _Rectangles.Add(_Rectangle);
  end;

  PaintBox1.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlack;

  _Stopwatch := TStopwatch.StartNew;

  for i := 0 to 9999 do
  begin
    PaintBox1.Canvas.FillRect(_Rectangles.List[i]);
  end;

  Caption := IntToStr(_Stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds);

  _Rectangles.Free;
end;

.Net
private void panel1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Graphics _Graphics = panel1.CreateGraphics();
    List<Rectangle> _Rectangles = new();
    Random _Random = new();
    Rectangle _Rectangle = new(0, 0, panel1.Width, panel1.Height);
    SolidBrush _SolidBrush = new(Color.White);

    _Graphics.FillRectangle(_SolidBrush, _Rectangle);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
    {
        _Rectangle = new(_Random.Next(1000), _Random.Next(1000), 5, 5);

        _Rectangles.Add(_Rectangle);
    }

    _SolidBrush.Color = Color.Black;

    Stopwatch _Stopwatch = new();

    _Stopwatch.Start();

    }

    Text = _Stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString();

    _Graphics.Dispose();
    _SolidBrush.Dispose();
}

A: Following David's advice, using Bitmap enhanced the performance much to 48.2 milliseconds.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bitmap _Bitmap = new(1000, 1000);

    Graphics _BitmapGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(_Bitmap);
    Graphics _PanelGraphics = panel1.CreateGraphics();
    List<Rectangle> _Rectangles = new();
    Rectangle _Rectangle;
    Random _Random = new();
    SolidBrush _SolidBrush = new(Color.Black);

    _BitmapGraphics.Clear(Color.White);

    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
    {
        _Rectangle = new(_Random.Next(1000), _Random.Next(1000), 5, 5);

        _Rectangles.Add(_Rectangle);
    }

    Stopwatch _Stopwatch = new();

    _Stopwatch.Start();

    foreach (var item in _Rectangles)
    {
        _BitmapGraphics.FillRectangle(_SolidBrush, item);
    }

    _PanelGraphics.DrawImage(_Bitmap, Point.Empty);

    button1.Text = _Stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString();

    _Bitmap.Dispose();
    _BitmapGraphics.Dispose();
    _PanelGraphics.Dispose();
    _SolidBrush.Dispose();

Melbourne's lost department stores
by Janet Austin
in Buildings & streets, Our stories, Social life & customs
Melbourne and shopping have been hand in glove since the 1880s, and at its peak the city flaunted more than a dozen department stores. Today only the Big Two, Myer and DJs, remain, having weathered the economic downturns and threats posed by online shopping – so far.
Since the 1950s and '60s there have been a swag of departures from the retail scene – Ball & Welch, Buckley & Nunn, Foy & Gibson, Mutual Store to name just a few. And more recently, who now remembers Daimaru in its former Melbourne Central home?
Seasoned shopaholics still lament the loss of Georges in 1995, but few tears are shed for Manton's, once Melbourne's favoured drapers.
Manton's was established in 1925, specialising in fabrics and fashion, and catering to middle-class shoppers with its somewhat downbeat logo 'It's smart to be thrifty'.
Manton's main competitor was Myer, and specialities included mantles, ribbons, corsets, laces, underclothing, millinery, hosiery, haberdashery, gloves and that lovely-sounding all-rounder, fancy goods.
The store was noted for its window and interior fashion displays, and lively print advertising campaigns orchestrated by the firm's iconic advertising manager, Lallah Dredge. Stylish designs in pencil and watercolour were produced by Olga Farnsworth, Hertia Winter and, notably, by Lallah. You'll find heaps of Manton's haute couture creations from the 1920s in our catalogue.
L: Afternoon frock of flowered taffeta with organdie trimmings, 1929, Manton's
R: '553' Forenoon frock on bolero style of blue and plaid taffeta, Manton's
Today, Manton's is best known as the ghost department store that lurks behind Target's beige facade at 236 Bourke Street. The history of this site is extraordinary, beginning with the Theatre Royal, one of Melbourne's first entertainment venues, established here in 1855. Manton's abutted the theatre, which it acquired and bulldozed in 1934. By 1937 the site was home to a strikingly modern six-storey art deco building designed by Jazz Age architect Harry Norris (of the Nicholas Building fame).
Manton's fortunes had waned by the 1950s, and in 1955 the firm was bought out by GJ Coles & Co to the tune of £2 million. The site went on to became Coles' Number-One Variety Store.
It's thought that if you strip away Target's exterior cladding, Manton's horizontal Moderne facade will be revealed. One of the Melbourne Heritage Action group's many campaigns is calling for the removal of the cladding and restoration of not only the hidden Manton's/Coles facade but also the adjoining vestiges of the Hoyt's De Luxe cinema, designed by William Pitt in 1915.

While Manton's targeted the middle classes, Georges' focus was strictly on quality, from the clientele to the merchandise. For more than a century, the prestigious store was to Melbourne what Harvey Nicks is to London, Bergdorf Dorman to NYC and Isetan to Tokyo. Couture fashion, Parisian perfumes and designer cosmetics are de rigueur department-store stalwarts nowadays, but half a century ago only Georges represented international fashion and style in Melbourne.
What began as George & George's Federal Emporium, established by brothers Willie and Harley George in 1880 and moving to its 'Paris end of Collins Street' location in 1889, evolved into one of the most exclusive department stores in Melbourne. The English-born George brothers honed their retail skills at London's Whiteleys of Westbourne Grove before sailing to Melbourne in the 1870s.

Derided by some as only for snobs, to Melbourne's elite the store was home away from home. Georges exceeded its company motto, Quod facimus, Valde facimus (What we do, we do well), offering the discerning shopper a hushed haven of deferential service, sophisticated ambience and exclusive international designer labels.
Georges was known for being the first for everything, thanks to Miss Reta Findlay, advertising manager (1937), associate director (1946) and then director (1959).
It's not for you to compete with a popular store like Myers. You'll never win. You need to be exclusive, different. You need to specialize and do certain things terribly well. You've got to get the very best, the best in the world,
things that other people don't have.
– Miss Reta Findlay
The store's other by-line was 'universal providers', and although its customers were select rather than common, its shelves were indeed stocked with every handpicked item you could wish for, reflecting the discerning taste of the store's departmental buyers and overseas agents.
Georges' signature attention to detail was evident at every stage in the shopping journey, including the lavish but discreet packaging. The store's branded paper bags, boxes and wrapping paper symbolise the store's style and legacy, and are preserved in the Library's Ephemera collection.
At its mid-century height, Georges' third floor was home to Young Sophisticates, offering clothing for the (slim) 16- to 60-year-old. The second-floor Young Colony department was a hit with children with its central fish tank, while fashionistas looking for the latest haute couture made their way to the first floor. Just like today's department stores, Georges' ground floor was reserved for perfumes and make-up – and Gucci. The Little Collins Street Hostess Store, meanwhile, offered everything for the homemaker. Changes over the years included swapping millinery for shoes, and the closure of the ladies' cycling department and the store's exclusive art gallery.

Now that more than 20 years have passed since Georges closed its doors, it's hard to convey a sense of the store's sophisticated shopping experience. Stepping into the classical-revival arcaded entry via the couture-filled, glass-fronted displays. The stepped entrance to the ground floor, lightly scented by French perfumes and lit to flatter society's best, with a dedicated Haigh's counter and entire glove department.
Georges experienced many ups and downs in its 115-year history, swapping ownership with Ball & Welch and owned by David Jones since 1981. On its demise in 1995, Georges' loyal customers were heard to mutter that it wasn't the store that had failed but Melbourne, having failed to live up to the store's standards of quality. But who can forget that heartbreaking (and wallet-breaking) farewell sale to beat all sales!

According to my Aunt, Gwen Cairns (the wife of Labor leader Dr Jim Cairns) was a buyer at Manton's in the 1930s. When Gwen Cairns attended another aunt;'s wedding in December 1938, my Grandmother thought that the once divorced,terribly chic Gwen Cairns was too 'fast'.
Manton's was a store that traded to a well heeled customer and my fashion conscious Aunt,who was a factory machinist, bought an elegant hat trimmed with a bird that cost her six weeks wages on lay-by at the Bourke Street store.

"Darling, always deal with the man at the top"
I was around 10 years old and every Friday Uncle Jeff (Cleal) would drive Nanna (Ann [Jones] Cleal) to pick me up and drive us to 'Georges'. There Uncle Jeff would wait in the car, a T-Model Ford. Nanna would be greeted at the front door by the Manager and he would show us to his office. There refreshments were provided.
For Nanna there was tea and a two tiered stand of bite size cakes and finger sandwiches with crusts cut off. I was given a glass of milk and a plate to select pieces from the stand, then I was seated on a chair with a side table adjacent to where he and Nanna sat at his sizeable desk.
There would be polite conversation and then Nanna would ask to be shown what she wanted to buy that week – for example gloves, veils for her hat and so forth. A purchase would be made. Graciously the Manger would walk us back to the front door.
As we stood on the pavement waiting for Uncle Jeff to pick us up, nanna would be holding my hand and say to me , "Darling, always deal with the man at the top" … and this I have done. In my life's journey it has stood me in great stead – I have been a Chief Medical Laboratory Scientist, a CEO and been honoured with a Member of the Order of Australia (AM).

Mantons became Coles' Store 200 not number one, number one was in smith street collingwood, number 12 was on the site that is now David Jones mens' store in Bourke st. store 200 also became Coles Head Office.
I suspect the author may have meant the store was number one for sales volume. I can't be sure of that. Just to clarify.
A bit of trivia, my late Grandmother worked at the Bourke Street Store that became David Jones.
I've become very interested in all these things as I've gotten older.
Shame Coles isn't as it was.Retail is changing I guess.
its been beaut to communicate with you
My mother was a shop assistant at Foy & Gibson in 40's & early 50's. She fondly tells us the story of how she was given so many gifts for her upcoming wedding to my dad she couldn't manage to carry them home on the tram. My grandfather had to drive to the city from Preston to collect her & her gifts. Clearly well regarded by her colleagues & management. She went on to work at other retail establishments including Fletcher Jones.
