Q: C# ASP.NET trouble uploading contact page to SQL Server 2008 R2 Let me start of by saying that I am new to ASP and have done my best to learn the script the past couple weeks. I am having trouble setting up an aspx.cs page to get the information to post on the server. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have included the code for the backend and the web form below. The web form is one page that needs to collect text fields, RadioButton, dropdownlist, and checkboxlist.
RadioButton - askes question that requires a Yes or No answer
Checkboxlist - Inset a 1 if selected and a 0 if not selected.
Needs to be able to work with asp.net 2.0, IIS 6, C#, SQL Server 2008 R2.
 I replaced all of the actual ID with numbers**

A: There are several things at hand here, almost too much to cover in a single answer, so let me at least preface my comments by suggesting you pick up a basic ASP.NET book and go through some of the basics therein. Looking at your posting, I think you understand a few things, but not broadly enough just yet.
First, the ExecuteInsert method is a problem, and I'm guessing it isn't compiling. You can't name method parameters with a number; that's not a legal identifier. But, beyond that, that huge parameter list is just a problem begging to be fixed....and that brings us to the other notion...getting the data from the page to the back-end code.
Your ASP.NET Control ID declarations cannot be just a numeric ID, because it causes ASP.NET to generate intermediate declarations using that as an identifier that exposes the control to your code-behind. However, numeric identifiers are not legal. I would strongly suggest you rename those ID's to something more descriptive and constructive.
For example, while I'm not sure what its supposed to hold, let's say the asp:TextBox you've declared with ID = "3" is supposed to hold a Last Name. A good ID would, then, be "LastName," which can then be accessed in your codebehind via the identifier LastName, and its contents via the Text property, eg LastName.Text.
<asp:TextBox ID="LastName" runat="server" Width="60px"></asp:TextBox>

..
from codebehind:
..
// access the value of the textbox as (purely an example):
if (LastName.Text=="")
{
    // Do something with a blank last name
};

Obviously, you'd need to adapt this to your application, and the same notion to the other inputs.
If you repeat that process for all those ID's, you then realize you have a natural mechanism to access the values provided by a user in the Page_Load event when the Page.IsPostBack value is True. That makes your page much easier to read and programmaticallly easier to manage, because you can collect the data from your inputs and supply them to your Insert more cleanly.
The same problem exists with the identifiers in your SQL statement, although using parameters to populate it is actually a good practice.
That's a good start for now. See if what I've suggested gives you a starting point, refine what you've done so far, and see if you can get closer to a workable solution. Good luck.
EDIT based on discussion with OP
This should provide a markup and codebehind sample that demonstrates one way to extract the values from a CheckBoxList, a TextBox, and a ListBox from an ASP.NET page and adds those values as SqlParameters to a SqlCommand  for insertion into a fictional sample table.

Discussion
The page hosts one three-item CheckBoxList, one TextBox, and one ListBox. The user may select any one of the items in the CheckBoxList, place any text in the TextBox, and select a value from the LIstBox. The button causes the form to submit, causing the codebehind to execute in a postback mode.
The postback mode causes the SQL data portion to fire in three parts:

*

*Regardless of the number of items checked in the CheckBoxList, the values correspond (in this example) to a Y or N value in the sample database. If an item is checked, the value should be "Y", and "N" if it is not. The code iterates through all three ListItems in the CheckBoxList, and adds Parameter objects with names corresponding to the Parameter fields named in the SQL query, setting values of "Y" or "N" as needed. The "parmName" variable is a convenience variable to construct the names of the first three parameters, named Value1, Value2, Value3.

*The next parameter is taken from the Text property of the SampleTextBox control.

*The last parameter is taken from the Value property of the selected ListBox ListItem.
With the parameters collected, the ExecuteNonQuery method of the SqlCommand object is fired, executing the statement with the provided values.
Hopefully, this illustrates at least one way of collecting values from an ASP.NET form and writing them to a database. The elements of supplying/buiding the proper connection string, as well as declaring/opening a Connection object, are not illustrated. As the database query is only for demonstration, actual test of this code against a database has not been accomplished, but it does work up to the ExecuteNonQuery() method call.

I came across 'Siblings' a linky on Along Came Cherry. Jess inspired me to join in and once a month capture my two little bambinos together. What a fabulous idea. She co-host the linky each month on the 10th with nine other bloggers.
It's not an easy task to get pictures of my two together, I will admit as Buba hates the camera. So to stage gorgeous settings, and activities for them to do together and capture it is a challenge. But I love a good challenge so I will join the rest of the hosts and link up each month hoping to capture some awesome sibling moments.
This month my "Sibling" pictures are a little grainy and the lighting is horrible because the moment was there and I had to capture it with my iphone before it disappeared, as we all know they don't come too often. I am blessed that my two get along great so far, I fear this stage won't last long so I am soaking it up as much as possible.
I think they were plotting against Mommy and Daddy in hushed voices. Buba was attempting to teach Missy Moo what the mirror is for, I think I can foresee bathroom fights over the mirror already. "Look here, Missy Moo, that's you." Buba said.
I asked him if he loved his sister, his reply, "My Missy Moo!" and showered her with kisses. Enough said.
Ya I love how much more they interact now. It's so cute. Wish I could have more siblings for them!!!
Such a sweet set of photos. Totally adorable.
What a cute little moment captured. It's so true that you just have to grab a camera when these moments happen because it's just too cute not too.
Thanks. I think it's good when they don't fret over new baby in the house. I have friends that struggle with that. We r blessed. Love ur linky.
Thank you!!! It's hard to contain. it grows straight up and gets really afro type if I don't keep it short. Not sure what his sisters will be like yet.
Aww they are very cute together.
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by from the linky and commenting. I have come across your blog before this linky and I really enjoy reading it. Your title cracks me up it is so me….flabby tummy tucked into my dresses and heels. lol hahaha love your sibling post as well.
THank you for commenting, and stopping by. Hope to see more of you here. Off to check out your blog.
Hopping over from the #siblings linky.
Agreed….it's a fabulous linky. So many beauties to cherish and love.
I hope you are so right. I had a protective big brother and it was the best. Thanks for commenting and stopping by. Love PoCoLo too. Off to check out your blog.
Definitely join in…. it's a great linky. I struggle to get happy posy pictures of both. Half of them will be one of them blurred because they never stop moving.
Oh they're so cute together! I love it when you find them playing nicely together when you were least expecting it!
Yes I was just relieved the blankets weren't over her face or she wasn't cover with all the toys in the toys box…which has happened before. hahahaha Sibling love is a sweet thing.
Super cute photos! I can't wait until we have two!
Yes it's definitely more fun having two as watching them bond and grow together. Love it. Thanks for the PoCoLo love.
I know it's one of my favorite. I love photography I only wish I was better at it. These are poorly taken and excuse the muslin that's missy moo had vomited mangoes all over right before picture. Hahaha but they moment was too rare and cute I can to capture it. Bad lighting dirty rags and all. I love seeing siblings try to help out with the littler ones. It's so protective and caring!!! If I could have more kids I would!!!! Siblings are the best.
Aww, how sweet that he wants to take care of her – it's lovely to watch that caring side develop. And definitely embrace the iphone shots!! The best memories are the ones on my iphone because it's always easier/quicker to get a photo that way.
Yes they adore each other so much. She never takes her eyes off him either. Too cute. Only wish the lighting in my house was better. I have always loved photography but my pictures never turn out spectacular. Shame. Thanks for commenting and stopping by.
What lovely photos. It's lovely to see how their relationship grows isn't it. My son is very protective of his little sister and I am hoping it continues.
Thank you so much for the PoCoLo love and stopping by. It was a moment I couldn't let go by … bad lighting and all. lol They are getting really close and I love watching them bond.
Thank you!! I know I was so worried Buba was going to cover his face when he saw my phone so I had to pretend I was texting and not taking a pic. He hates the camera unfortunately. Boo.
Thank you they really do get along so well so far. I am lucky. Hoping more of these moments to come!!!
I have six old brothers and it was always like this times 3 but I knew I had to has at least two kids so they could experience sibling love. I only hope it always stays like this.
Such cute shots! Most of my great moments are captured in blurry cell phone pics too.
Thank you. It definitely is one of my favorites.

Some of the best ice cream we have ever had.
Gorgeous ice cream you want to keep eating!!!
It all started in 1984 in South Africa when Rob Gibson first fell in love with Italian Gelato. He learned to make the creamy ice cream and helped to establish the largest chain of Ice Cream parlours in South Africa. Gelato (from the Latin, gelatus; meaning frozen) is a soft ice cream that is made from cream, milk, and sugar and contains little or no air and has no artificial flavourings, palm oil or whey powder.
Since arriving in the U.K he has had the dream of opening a factory and parlour producing ice cream in the Italian style, using locally sourced ingredients. In March 2013 Dolcetti Ice Cream Company opened their doors to a flavour sensation.

HOLLY HEPP-GALVÁN | PLAYWRIGHT
Hello! Thanks for visiting my site! I'm a playwright and theatre-maker living in New York City. I started writing when I was the Director of the Performing Arts School at Zachary Scott Theatre Center (ZACH) in Austin, TX. With over 6,000 theatre students I wrote original plays for young audiences as well as plays for young performers.
After I moved back to NYC, I was Managing Director for Urban Stages where I contributed to the development of new plays by a brilliant roster of diverse playwrights. I then completed my M.F.A. in Playwriting at CUNY Hunter College where I studied with the gifted and generous Tina Howe and Mark Bly.
My plays feature strong women who may need to discover their own strength. I love to explore the body, the mysteries of language, clashes of culture, and our relationship to the natural environment.
And I love writing for young audiences! There is nothing more truthful and brave than children. And although my plays and musicals may be a rollicking romp with talking animals, there is also a sense of risk and urgency. Characters have difficult decisions to make about real-world dilemmas. I truly enjoy celebrating the buoyant spirit of young audiences while also honoring their fierce intelligence.
When I'm not writing plays, I'm teaching Theatre and Communication/Media Arts on the faculties of Hunter College, Baruch College, Manhattan College, Marymount Manhattan College, and Fordham University. I'm also proud to be Playwright-in-Residence for Voices Inside-Out, a playwriting program for incarcerated men, and to lead writing workshops for children and seniors.
Feel free to click on my resumé for a list of recent productions, theatre companies, honors, and awards. And even better, please drop me a note! Would love to share more about the work, or to create a new theatre piece together.

999 games have announced the release of the game today on their website!
I asked 999 Games on their Facebook announcement if they actually do have it in stock (as some website offer the Z-man game version only to pre-order).
Ordered also! But the quality of the dutch tiles is most of the time different than the german ones.
I got mail that my piece in on way to me. I should get it on Monday.
Carcassonne Safari is now available on CundCo website!
Why is there no Giant Squid in Carcassonne?!
And shipping costs as much as the game! That is just too dang much! I blame our idiot President and his stupid trade wars.
Nope, I will wait until some American source stacks this one, or when i can get it through amazon prime.
Strangely I am more excited by the imminent arrival of Ruthless. Perhaps I need at appointment with my doctor?
Yeah, even to the UK the shipping costs are fairly high I think.
Hopefully z-man games will pick it up soon!
Polish distributor really did good job. We had premiere on Monday.
Seems Cundco have gone back to their old ways of handling international shipping. It's pretty much prohibitive, unless placing a large order.
Any carcassonne promo from this Essen for me!
Gotta be worth having another meetup soon to provide you your shipment!


Of the many good things we are beginning to see before the newly-constituted Democratic Congress even assumes power, one of the most gratifying is the move by Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) to neuter the hideous Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), passed by the Republicans, and signed by George W. Bush in October.
On Friday, Dodd introduced legislation to amend Bush's "torture bill," remove the almost-dictatorial powers it has given the White House and neutralize the bastardizing effect it's had on the United States Constitution.
"I strongly believe that terrorists who seek to destroy America must be punished for any wrongs they commit against this country," said Dodd, in introducing this important measure. "But in my view, in order to sustain America's moral authority and win a lasting victory against our enemies, such punishment must be meted out only in accordance with the rule of law."
The text of the MCA may fill almost 40 pages, but it only takes a few paragraphs of Dodd's 10-page Effective Terrorists Prosecution Act (S.4060) to render its most onerous aspects moot.
I analyzed Dodd's bill over the weekend and am writing this piece to give you the basics of how it fixes the Constitutional ruin imposed by the MCA and puts the power of the executive branch of government back in its rightful place.
This should tell you all you need to know about both the disease and the cure.
No area of the MCA has drawn more justifiable fire than the section suspending Habeas Corpus -- the rights of people deemed by the White House to be "enemy combatants" to challenge the legality of their arrest and detention.
The fact that so many of these enemy-combatant determinations rest in the president's hands and the sheer vagueness of the law, combine to create a wide variety of scenarios whereby any American citizen could be arrested and held indefinitely without Constitutional protections.
Scary stuff indeed and, as surgical as the Dodd amendment is in many ways, this area is dealt with via a repeal of that entire section, thus killing this debasement of our Constitution in one fell swoop.
"The Administration-backed law eliminates the principle of Habeas Corpus which has served as the backbone of common law since before the Magna Carta in the 13th century," said Dodd. "Under the writ of Habeas Corpus independent courts may review the legality of custody decisions. My legislation would restore this basic tenet in the context of military commissions."
And it does it with one short sentence -- "Section 7(a) of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, is repealed," reads Dodd's legislation.
Simple, to the point, and necessary to stopping the Founding Fathers from spinning in their graves.
"A person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al Qaeda, or associated forces).
Essentially, this narrows the definition to someone who would traditionally be considered an armed enemy and removes the broad discretion that would allow the government to arbitrarily define any U.S. citizen who they believe "purposefully and materially supported hostilities" against us (or our allies) as the enemy.
Says Senator Dodd: "The Administration's approach allows the president to remove anyone he so chooses from America's standard jurisprudence and designate him or her as an 'unlawful enemy combatant.' My legislation allows the designation of 'unlawful enemy combatants' only for those individuals engaged in armed conflict against the United States. This provision seeks to curtail potential abuse of the enemy combatant designation so that holding individuals in detention indefinitely without a trial will prove to be the exception rather than the norm."
Dodd's legislation acknowledges that torture has been proven ineffective in extracting intelligence information and points out that America's standard for treatment of prisoners will be the bare minimum used by others against our own troops.
"My bill further promotes humane treatment of military personnel by prohibiting the use of evidence gained by coercion in a trial," said Dodd last week. "Such a provision is critically important for two reasons. First, the use of torture has been proven ineffective in interrogations when a detainee simply says what he believes an interrogator wants to hear in order to stop the torture. Second it deprives foreign militaries the ability to cite US actions to justify their own misconduct toward future American POWs."
- the interests of justice would best be served by admission of the statement into evidence.
The interrogation methods used to obtain the statement do not amount to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment prohibited by section 1003 of the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005.
What this means: The ends justifies the means and we can torture anyone the White House says might be a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer.
A statement obtained by use of coercion shall not be admissible in a military commission under this chapter, except against a person accused of coercion as evidence that the statement was made.
What this means: We're the United States of America and we don't torture people.
The Republican torture bill basically puts the burden of proof on the defense, not the prosecution which, prior to the Bush administration, was not the way our justice system worked.
Hearsay evidence not otherwise admissible under the rules of evidence applicable in trial by general courts-martial shall not be admitted in a trial by military commission if the party opposing the admission of the evidence demonstrates that the evidence is unreliable or lacking in probative value."
So, when it comes to hearsay -- which is information not based on direct knowledge of the truth -- you're essentially guilty until proven innocent under the existing law.
In other words, the judge can toss hearsay evidence if it's questionable or utter nonsense -- the defense doesn't need to prove it's nonsense.
The MCA provides for appeal not from traditional courts of appeals, but by a special Military Commissions Review Board, that would undoubtedly just rubber-stamp the military tribunals' verdicts. The Dodd bill kills that entire section of the MCA and instead says that cases will be reviewed by the "Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces."
If there's been one president in my lifetime that I don't want interpreting the college football rankings, much less something serious, it's George W. Bush and one of the scariest parts of the MCA is the power it gives Bush in deciding for himself what the Geneva Conventions mean.
As provided by the Constitution and by this section, the President has the authority for the United States to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions and to promulgate higher standards and administrative regulations for violations of treaty obligations which are not grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions.
"… the President has the authority, subject to congressional oversight and judicial review, to promulgate higher standards and administrative regulations for violations of treaty obligations which are not grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions.
That modification -- now that we'll have a Congress that will actually perform oversight -- should make about 300 million Americans sleep better at night.
The amended law would also say that Bush will issue "standards" and not "interpretations" on the Geneva Conventions.
This is an entirely new section inserted by Dodd, saying that findings under the MCA must be reviewed by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and that an appeal can be made all the way to the Supreme Court.
"An interlocutory or final judgment, decree, or order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in an action under paragraph(1) shall be reviewable as a matter of right by direct appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Any such appeal shall be taken by a notice of appeal filed within 10 days after the date on which such judgment, decree, or order is entered. The jurisdictional statement with respect to any such appeal shall be filed within 30 days after the date on which such judgment, decree, or order is entered.
"It shall be the duty of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible extent the disposition of any action or appeal, respectively, brought under this section."
This is another big step in neutralizing the MCA and taking us back to the good old days of the Sixth Amendment which says we are entitled to "… a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury."
"I believe that the United States Congress made a crucial mistake," said Dodd about the lack of this wording in the MCA. " And that is why the final provision in my bill is perhaps the most important one -- it will ensure that each of the provisions of the Administration's Military Commission Act is quickly reviewed by our nation's courts, and appropriately evaluated for their constitutionality."
So there you have it -- that's the gist of how enormously important just 10 short pages of Democratic legislation can be to our country in reversing what the Republicans did to the Constitution in September.
Sadly, it looks unlikely that it will pass, based on the fact that, even with Democrats controlling both houses of Congress, Bush will almost certainly exercise his veto power and it's a longshot that a super-majority can be achieved in the House and Senate to override Bush's veto. But it will at least renew the dialog and get Americans thinking more about our country's creed.
The "short title" of Senator Dodd's legislation is the ''Military Commission Civil Liberties Restoration Act'' and that's about as apt as it can possibly be.
When the MCA was passed, George Washington University Professor of Constitutional Law, Jonathan Turley, said that most Americans "don't realize what a fundamental change this is about who we are as a country."
"People have no idea how significant this is. What, really, a time of shame this is for the American system," said Turley. "What the Congress did and what the president signed today essentially revokes over 200 years of American principles and values."
And Dodd, whose father was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, ended his floor speech on his legislation by reinforcing the importance of a nation maintaining its long-held ideals, regardless of temporary dangers.
"America has always stood for something more. Our leaders at Nuremberg, including the young prosecutor Thomas Dodd, my father, rejected the certainty of execution for the uncertainty of a trial," said Dodd. "In doing so, we reaffirmed the ideal that this nation should never tailor its eternal principles to the conflict of the moment, because if we did, we would be walking in the footsteps of the enemies we despised."

The April 9, 2016 issue of The New York Times contained an opinion piece severely critical of various "new technology" firms that claim to give workers autonomy (what firm doesn't?) and boast of their flexibiity and employee-friendliness, but in fact often turn out to be a "digital sweatshop." (Dan Lyons, "Congratulations, You've Been Fired"). The surroundings are pleasant: plenty of light, comfortable lounges, exercise rooms, even bean bag chairs in some cases, and a mode of operation that is casual in a business casual sort-of-way: few or no suits, first names for every one, open office spaces. What is not highlighted in these companies' portrayal of their happy workers is that "flexible" hours often mean being on call 24 hours a day, that liberal vacation policies are meaningless because in the internet-driven 24/7 global economy vacations can at any moment become work if your smart phone is anywhere within 100 miles of you, and that beneath the pseudo-casual exterior lie the same basic power relations that exist in most employer-employee relationships: the boss may dress like you or even worse and he (especially he in many of these companies) may be called by his first name, but he still has the power to make your life very miserable in any number of ways. The high tech company that has recently been in the spotlight is the appropriately named HubSpot, where among other indignities, "graduation" ceremonies were held for employees who were being terminated.
What I find interesting about HubSpot is not its bad behavior (for some of which, by the way, it was smart enough to apologize) but its faith in corporate culture as the key to success. HubSpot has published its "Culture Code," where of course it values employee "autonomy and ownership," but the code also makes it clear that the work hours are "Whenever," the workplace "Wherever," and the job tenure "Whatever." HubSpot may see this flexibility as liberating; others could see it as something closer to the world of arbitrary authority described so carefully by Franz Kafka. HubSpot wants employees to "commit maniacally" to its mission and metrics. HubSpot also admits that when it hires it is looking for "culture fit" over skills and experience, since it believes that "Compromising on culture fit is mortgaging the culture." The problem with "culture fit," however, is that it is very often used an excuse to exclude anyone who does not look or act exactly like the current employees. HubSpot even admits it has a problem with diversity. I wonder why.
But whatever we think about HubSpot's culture and however many business gurus preach the importance of corporate culture, is it true that culture is the key to success? If you read biographies of business leaders or books on the history of American business, such as Ricard S. Tedlow's excellent Giants of Enterprise: Seven Business Innovators and the Empires They Built, you find that success can be produced by very different firms, from the traditionally hierarchical (IBM in the days of Big Blue))to the supposedly flat (Apple), from the closed and secretive (Apple can fit this category) to the more open and apparently transparent such as Microsoft, from the employee-friendly such as Eastman Kodak in its heyday to the awful such as Revlon under the leadership of Charles Revsen.
Management fashions come and go. Today being flat, flexible, and open-structured is in vogue, while being hierarchical with fairly structured planning mechanisms and a stress on corporate decorum is consigned to the trash along with last year's calendars. But is the failure rate of these contemporary firms with their open office/blue jean/bean bag culture any lower than it has ever been for new firms? From what I know, the failure rate is still incredbly high–at least 80%. The office culture guarantees nothing; indeed it may even hinder success if you spend so much time networking with your co-workers that you don't have time to think for yourself. And are there firms that remain successful by running more-or-less as they always have? Judging by the continuity of brand names in the supermarket and elsewhere, one would assume there are.
Culture is not the magic wand that its proponents claim it is. The keys to success in business are having the right product at the right price at the right time. The intelligence and diligence of the firm's leaders count for a great deal, more than our gurus are sometimes willing to admit. No culture can shield an organization from bad decisions and no culture can magically produce good ones. All around the country there are attempts to reproduce the success of North Carolina's Research Triangle or California's Silicon Valley. None have really worked in the way their proponents have hoped, in part because the momentum of being first really does make a difference. Sorry HubSpot. There seems to be no magic recipe we can all follow to organizational success. If HubSpot eventually becomes a profitable success (it claims to be on the way), it may be despite its somewhat goofy "culture" and because some group in the firm made smart decisions and had the discipline to carry them out.

The digital divide will grow when Medicare ends some telehealth benefits
by Susan Baker | Sep 1, 2022 | Events & Announcements
On the clinical front lines, the COVID-19 public health emergency has radically shifted the way we can practice outpatient medicine.
MATT SCHWERIN/NYT
The United States recently followed the World Health Organization's lead and declared monkeypox a public health emergency. Meanwhile, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced its public health emergency for COVID-19 would be extended again until at least Oct. 13, 2022, and promised that it would give states and health care providers 60 days notice before the emergency ends.
Declaring a public health emergency means that both federal and state governments can allocate resources, time, and people to advance treatments. It also often means a path forward for health innovation acceleration. In the case of COVID-19, this meant that scientists worked around the clock in applying well-researched technologies such as mRNA and adenovirus vaccines toward a yet unseen and unknown virus and successfully produced safe and effective COVID-19 vaccinations for all people older than 6 months. On the clinical front lines, the public health emergency has also radically shifted the way we can practice outpatient medicine.
Before 2020, telehealth was a sleepy technology, used by few and under limited circumstances. However, declaration of the public health emergency and the radical necessity of telehealth allowed it to explode as a health care innovation. Before 2020, only 0.2 percent of Medicare outpatient evaluation and management visits were rendered via telehealth. This telehealth number skyrocketed to over 50 percent of Medicare outpatient visits by April of 2020. Telehealth opened the door to care for millions who would not otherwise have access to a provider and expanded the capacity of care for some essential services, including access to mental health, contraceptive health, physical therapy, and hospital discharge follow-ups. Under the emergency declaration, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services payment reform enabled telehealth's equitable payment for visits conducted via video or audio, increased coverage for Medicare beneficiaries living in both rural and urban communities, and created parity in pay for physical and mental health.
In my 17 years serving as a primary care physician at a large safety net hospital and as someone who has long been committed to bringing innovations onto the front line for rapid testing and deployment, I have never seen or participated in an innovation such as telehealth — one so poised to both advance health care delivery and address health equity. Indeed, despite daily innovations such as new apps or AI being touted regularly in health care, these innovations are rarely targeted at traditionally marginalized communities. Weaving together equity and innovation oftentimes feels like threading an extremely small needle.
Telehealth deployment over the past two and a half years seems to have done just that. Recently, I was able to conduct a telehealth visit for a patient who had been discharged from the hospital. She was bed bound and living at home where none of her family members spoke English as a first language. The Internet connectivity in their home was poor and though the family members tried to connect the patient to video, the screen kept going black. Additionally, the interpreter's connection was lost. Knowing that audio only was an option for this patient was a blessing. I was able to reconnect through the telephone with the interpreter where the patient was easily able to discuss how she was doing, review what medications she was discharged on, and next steps for her. We were able to arrange a follow-up in-person visit for her when transportation would be easier for her and her family.
Three years ago, that visit would have been poorly reimbursed (if at all) and very likely that patient's after-hospital care would have been subpar — creating more opportunities for further illness, readmission, and poor health, and perpetuating the cycle of poverty and poor outcomes. A year from now, this same visit will also risk being cast aside by providers and health care systems as the end of the public health emergency funding also means the end of funding for audio-only telehealth for Medicare beneficiaries.
And so while many may welcome the news that HHS may be winding down the COVID-19 declaration this fall, I'm worried about what this will mean for my patients and people like them who come from traditionally marginalized communities as well as the elderly, those in rural communities, and those who for a panoply of reasons including financial, stigma, or local politics are unable to access the care that they need.
Rapid pace innovations often require the slower build of infrastructures to sustain them. This is certainly the case for telehealth. While telehealth holds the incredible promise of increasing access to medical care for communities that have traditionally been marginalized, thus creating more health equity, the dissolution of PHE funding also means potential devastation and perpetuating health inequities. As my colleagues and I bear witness to this digital disparity and the potential future widening of this divide, we have advocated for:
Creating federal and state policies to operationalize telehealth infrastructure.
The rapid build and deployment of telehealth platforms that are accessible and easily navigable to all people (including those whose language, education, or age leaves them with low technology literacy).
Supporting patients and families during the adoption of these technologies. Until we reach these milestones, we must keep the broad funding and support for telehealth in all of its forms.
Through the wide deployment and use of telehealth, we finally have a chance to make strides toward greater health equity. We cannot lose this precious opportunity when the end of the public health emergency for COVID-19 is finally declared.

Channel showing installed on Roku website & other Roku Devices on network disappeared on 1 Roku
My YouTube app disappeared off the home screen of my 4210X - Roku 2 yesterday. It is only channel gone from my home menu.
The YouTube app is on the home screen of 2 other devices on the same network and can be accessed on both of those Roku devices, as well as on my iPhone, android tablet and Windows 10 PC,.
When I check the website, it says YouTube is already installed. There is no option to remove or delete the You Tube app, to reinstall it.
When I try to add the channel back, it always says "Channel install failed, could not add".
I have checked for system updates, restarted the system, done a connection check, unplugged it from the wall for 10 seconds, and have even done a factory reset. I'm not sure what else to do!
4205EU, 4210X2, 4205WW, 4210X4L, 4210X, 4205EU4L, 4210WW

Re: Channel showing installed on Roku website & other Roku Devices on network disappeared on 1
I can't say for certain, but it sounds like Google has removed support for YouTube from older players. The 4210 is still supported by Roku, but not by all channel providers. Why they would do that, I can't say. the 4210 is still a capable player, but perhaps they simply drew a line in the sand. Since it's appearing on your other devices, that means it's attached to your account, so it will appear on all supported devices.
I know it's a bit of work, but you might try a factory reset. That would clear any possible corrupt code in the channel, and if YouTube is still supported on your player by Google it will be added back in when you link the player back on your account. I've had to do that once or twice over the years, including devices other than Roku.

@Gemini-Apollo
First, try everything @atc98092 suggested.
Next, the Roku 2 model 4210 is supported: https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7129767?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Cstrea...
Next, if the Roku Website shows the app is already installed, then it should be on a device that's tied to your account. Do you have any other Roku devices? https://my.roku.com/ at the bottom will list all your devices. If you go to one of those devices and remove the app, then that would remove it from your account, allowing you to install, if the device supports it.
Still, I'm thinking that since Google supports that device for YouTube, it should be already installed. Perhaps there's an issue with the current YouTube app that's preventing it from installing, and a fix from Google will resolve it.
Note: I am not a Roku employee.
If this post solves your problem please help others find this answer and click "Accept as Solution."
Thanks and kudos to both atc98092 and DBDukes for the quick responses, information and advice, I went ahead and repeated all the steps I previously did as well as what you both suggested and cycled and reset the router on all 3 Roku devices. As I feared, removing the channel from the 2 devices it was still present, resulted in not being able to add the channel on all 3 Roku devices and getting the same error message on all them, I guess I am left with having to upgrade them all to newer models. Thanks for the attempt, I appreciate it.
I also wanted to verify it wasn't due contract negotiations breaking down between Google/YouTube and Roku like what happened earlier this year.
Before anything else happens, please clarify the app. You said "You Tube." The behavior you're describing sounds like YouTube TV, not YouTube.
Is it YouTube, as you indicated? Or is it really YouTube TV? Because those are not the same thing.
It is the YouTube app, NOT the YouTube TV app I am having the issue with.
There should be no issue with the YouTube app on any supported Roku device. The Roku 2 (4210) is a supported devices.
From what I'm reading, it failed to show and would not install on the Roku 2, but was on the other devices prior to removal. What is the model number of the other devices? That is, the ones that still had the YouTube app but now don't and can't get?
Also, are you in the U.S.? Are you using a VPN?

Cleveland GC has the proud boast of being the only true links course in Yorkshire and the oldest, too, having been established in 1887. The first competition was played on 4th June, 1887 and two rounds of the links resulted in a tie between A.C. Tofts and J Bastard.
The course was said to be originally laid out by Tom Morris, with changes made later by Tom Vardon (then pro' at Ilkley GC), Harry S Colt/J S F Morrison, Fred G Hawtree and more recently by Donald Steel when holes #14, #15 and #16 were built in the dunes. The course is on an exposed swathe of linksland, unprotected from the ravages of the North Sea and subsequently, has distinctive "links" characteristics, with some holes playing through duneland and others in the flatter hinterland between links and marsh/wetland.
GGD were appointed in April 2012 to undertake a full course assessment inspecting all aspects of the course at Cleveland, focussing, in particular, on bunkers, tees, greens, inter-fairway dunes and featuring and practice facilities. There is great potential for the course to be improved and refined. The improvements to the golf course features will be further emphasised with new planting of native shrubs – gorse, sea buckthorn and marram grasses – between fairways (in out-of-play areas).
The opportunity is there to give Cleveland GC a wider regional and even national profile, which could make the club a potential venue for Open qualifier events.

At least one person is dead after a noontime explosion on Aug. 28 at an Airgas Facility at the Ascend Performance Materials chemical plant located just north of Pensacola, Fla., in the state's panhandle.
The chemical that exploded was nitrous oxide. According to the company's website, Ascend manufactures and supplies chemicals, fibers and plastics products for use in various commercial and industrial products. Airgas is a distributor of industrial, medical and specialty gases as well as a product line of safety products, welding equipment and specialty tools.
As emergency workers, assisted by an Ascend response team, secured the area and made sure there was no risk of an additional explosions, it was determined that one Airgas employee was missing. After an extensive search, his body was recovered after 6 p.m.
According to an article in the Pensacola News Journal, the investigation is still ongoing, but the early assessment is that the explosion likely originated near a holding tank in the Airgas loading dock where two semis were delivering nitrous oxide.

BET Networks es una empresa estadounidense de entretenimiento que supervisa los canales de televisión por cable premium de la empresa, incluido su servicio principal BET. Es una subsidiaria del conglomerado de medios Paramount Global bajo su unidad de redes.

Historia

Antes de la fundación de la compañía
En 1980, Robert L. Johnson , quien dejó su puesto como cabildero del cable; estableció su propia red de cable llamada Black Entertainment Television; y originalmente era un bloque en Madison Square Garden Sports Network (más tarde rebautizado como USA Network), hasta que se convirtió en un canal separado en 1983.

En 1991, la red se convirtió en la primera compañía de televisión controlada por negros en cotizar en la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York.

A partir de fines de la década de 1990, la red se expandió con el lanzamiento de redes de cable digital : BET on Jazz (más tarde conocida como BET Jazz. BET J, Centric y BET Her), creada originalmente para exhibir programación relacionada con la música jazz, especialmente la de músicos negros de jazz; en 1998, entró en una empresa conjunta con Starz (entonces propiedad de Liberty Media de John Malone ) para lanzar un servicio multiplex del canal premium con películas afroamericanas llamado BET Movies: Starz! 3 (más tarde rebautizado como Black Starz después de que BET abandonara la empresa tras su compra por parte de Viacom, entonces propietario de Showtime , rival de Starz, y ahora conocido como Starz InBlack).

Creación
En 2000, Viacom anunció planes para comprar BET Holdings Inc. por más de 2300 millones de dólares. El trato se cerró en 2001, con las redes de BET Holdings convirtiéndose en parte de MTV Networks; pero finalmente se colocó bajo BET Networks.

En 2005, Robert Johnson se retiró como director ejecutivo y fue reemplazado por Debra L. Lee. Casi al mismo tiempo, Viacom estaba considerando dividirse en dos entidades luego de múltiples problemas relacionados con la empresa; que finalmente se confirmó en enero de 2006, con la creación del nuevo Viacom como el nuevo padre de MTV Networks, BET Networks, Paramount Pictures y Famous Music (luego vendido a Sony Music en 2007); y CBS Corporation (el sucesor legal del Viacom original), obteniendo CBS , Paramount Television , UPN , CBS Radio y Paramount Parks (luego vendida a Cedar Fairen 2007).

Para 2007, la red había lanzado dos redes más orientadas a la música, BET Hip-Hop y BET Gospel. BET también lanzó un lote de programación original en ese momento, incluidos los programas de telerrealidad Baldwin Hills y Hell Date , el programa de competencia Sunday Best y el programa de debate estilo ayuntamiento Hip Hop vs. America. El presidente de entretenimiento de BET, Reginald Hudlin , renunció a la red el 11 de septiembre de 2008. Luego fue reemplazado por Stephen Hill, quien también es vicepresidente ejecutivo de programación musical y talento.  BET anunció en marzo de 2010 que Ed Gordon volvería a la red para presentar "una variedad de programas de noticias y especiales".

En 2015, obtuvo el control editorial de VH1 Soul y MTV Jams respectivamente, renombrándolo bajo la marca BET, mientras restaba importancia a la música hip-hop moderna en BET Hip-Hop debido al control de MTV Jams, convirtiéndose efectivamente en un archivo de música Hip-Hop. canal.

En marzo de 2017, el presidente de programación Stephen Hill y la vicepresidenta ejecutiva de programación original, Zola Mashariki, renunciaron. Connie Orlando, vicepresidenta sénior de Especiales, Programación Musical y Noticias, fue nombrada presidenta interina de programación.

En julio de 2017, Viacom firmó nuevos acuerdos de desarrollo de cine y televisión con Tyler Perry tras la expiración de su pacto existente con Discovery, Inc. en 2019. Como parte de este acuerdo, Perry produciría The Oval and Sistas para BET y sería copropietario del servicio de transmisión recientemente lanzado de la red, BET+.

What Can Google Docs Be Used For?
by Jake McEvoy | Dec 6, 2021 | Applications
If you've stumbled across Google Docs and you're now trying to investigate its capabilities, you've come to the right place.
Brought to you by Google, Docs is an online-based word processor that is in many ways similar to Microsoft's Word. If you're familiar with Word, transitioning to Google Docs will be a walk in the park.
However, Google Docs' collaborative capabilities certainly differentiate it from its major desktop-associated counterpart. One of the earliest word processors to provide shared online document creation was our good friend Google Docs.
From your browser window, Google has made it exceedingly simple to share documents among devices and collaborate on them instantaneously. To read or modify Google documents that you distribute with people, they don't even need a Google account.
There's a lot more to discuss in regards to this really valuable collection of workstation tools, though, which we'll go over today.
What Can Google Docs Do?
At its core, Google Docs is a word processor that can be run directly from your favourite browser. It can be used to create, edit and share documents for a multitude of purposes.
As you create your document, it automatically saves your work to your Google Drive, which is a cloud-based storage platform that comes with 15GB of free storage just for having a Google account.
Google Docs can so many things. For most, such as myself, it is used for work purposes. I can easily access everything I've ever professionally written on Google Docs from my Google Drive.
Google Docs is also now commonly used in place of Microsoft Word by students, within corporations, and even for personal and creative use.
As mentioned, though, Google Docs has many more features than one might expect considering that it's free to use and accessible straight from a browser window. Features include direct emailing, downloading your documents in a choice of formats, seamless file sharing and modification tracking for shared documents.
Let's take a look at the finer details of each of these features.
Direct Google Docs Emailing
When you need to email your document to your boss, colleague, client, mother, or whoever else, there's a very simple process for getting your file from the .doc screen to their inbox.
Select File > Email from the drop-down menu. Choose the file type you wish to send and populate the usual email details to send the file to whoever you need.
If you just want to email it to the collaborators of the document, there's a separate option for that from the drop-down menu, too.
Google Docs Document Downloading
Downloading your Google Doc is a very simple process, too, and it allows for download in a variety of formats to suit any and all requirements.
Sign in to your Google account and open your Google Drive and drive.google.com
Locate the file you'd like to download and open it up
In the top left of your screen, click 'File', then hover over 'Download' for a choice of download format options
Select the file type you'd like to download and the download will begin.
The formats you can download your Google Docs in are as follows:
Microsoft Word (.docx)
OpenDocument Format (.odt)
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
PDF Document (.pdf)
Plain Text (.txt)
Web Page (.html, zipped)
EPUB Publication (.epub)
Google Doc Sharing
While other platforms have since adopted such features, the sharing capabilities of Google Docs is certainly its unique selling point.
Google has mastered and perfected online file sharing to guarantee that it is as efficient as possible. To guarantee flawless collaboration, here's how to share a Google document and establish your preferences:
Method One
Open the document you'd like to share from your Google Drive folder
Click the blue 'Share' button that can be found in the top right-hand corner of the screen
Add names or email addresses into the 'Add People And Groups' field
Choose your sharing permissions – whether it's to be 'View', 'Comment' or 'Edit'
If you're sharing by email, make sure you click the box to 'Notify People' to get their attention sooner
Click 'Send'
Method Two
Click 'Get Link'
Choose who can access the document, whether that's 'Anyone With The Link' or 'Restricted'
If you choose 'Anyone With The Link', choose your sharing permissions – whether it's to be 'View', 'Comment' or 'Edit'
Click 'Copy Link'
Paste the link wherever you like so send it to those that can access the link
Google Docs Modification Tracking
You may find yourself wanting to track particular changes to your Google Docs if you make regular modifications to your documents or if you share them with others.
Google Docs offers a fantastic history tracking feature that allows you to see exactly when certain changes were made and revert to an older version of your file if need be.
Google Docs keeps track of document changes automatically by taking note of the document's version history. Display a menu that reveals all the modifications Google has logged for your document by going to File > Version History > See version history.
When alterations were made, who made those changes, and when the changes were made are all indicated within the records of each and every Google Doc you create.

Q: Passing a tuple as command line argument My requirement is to pass a tuple as command line argument like
--data (1,2,3,4)

I tried to use the argparse module, but if I pass like this it is receiving as the string '(1,2,3,4)'. I tried by giving type=tuple for argparse.add_argument, but is of no use here.
Do I have to add a new type class and pass that to type argument of add_argument?
Update
I tried the ast.literal_eval based on answers. Thanks for that. But it is giving spaces in the result as shown below.
(1,2,3,4)
<type 'str'>
(1, 2, 3, 4)
<type 'tuple'>

A: If you want to scale this, not deal with syntax trees, and provide the tuple conversion within the argument, you'll need a custom argparse type. (I needed this since my parser is in a package, and I didn't want to require my users to all write my_tuple = tuple(args.data). With an argument type, you can also receive a string with parenthesis like the original question. Also, I wouldn't include nargs, because that will wrap your custom type output into a list, which basically defeats the purpose of your custom type. I mapped a float because my input was something like "0.9, 0.99", but your int works the same:
def tuple_type(strings):
    strings = strings.replace("(", "").replace(")", "")
    mapped_int = map(int, strings.split(","))
    return tuple(mapped_int)

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--data', type=tuple_type)
args = parser.parse_args()

This way you can send in --data "(1,2,3,4)" or --data "1,2,3,4"

A: Set nargs of the data argument to nargs="+" (meaning one or more) and type to int, you can then set the arguments like this on the command line:
--data 1 2 3 4

args.data will now be a list of [1, 2, 3, 4].
If you must have a tuple, you can do:
my_tuple = tuple(args.data)

Putting it all together:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--data', nargs='+', type=int)
args = parser.parse_args()
my_tuple = tuple(args.data)

A: I had same requirement. Could not find in standard packages. So, rolled this.  Python 3x. Put inside simple argv parser, called one arg at a time:

*

*var is passed in default, of correct type.

*argval is found command line string. Comma separated,no spaces. i.e. 1,2,3 or one,two,three.

Works with bash shell, may need quotes, other adjustments for other shells, OS's.
Same technique works non list types. This version creates a homogeneous list or tuple, based on var[0].
example:
./foo.py   --mytuple 1,2,3,4,5

code:
def chk_arg( var, argstr, dbg=False):
    ### loop on sys.argv here .....
    # if list/tuple type, use list comprehension
    # converts csv list to list or tuple 'type(var)' of 'type(var[0])' items.
    if type(var) is list or type(var) is tuple:
        val = type(var)([type(var[0])(i) for i in argval.split(',')])
