Q: Creating Mesh like Line Render Unity3d I want to create mesh the same to User input. User draw line by linerender.
This is my code that generate mesh by points base of LineRender point Array, but Mesh isn't continious, have some space between mesh if you draw line fast, due to big distance of two points in array(, so how create mesh of same shape and continiously. Mesh need to looks like line.

A: Defining the collider you are after is a very fun but quite an epic task.
The unity's LineRenderer.BakeMesh method of the lineRenderer can do that for you.
You can do:
public yourLineRendererComponent;
public meshColliderComponentReferenceAddedToYourLineRendererGameObject;
private Mesh mesh = new Mesh();

void setLrCollider() {
    LineRenderer lineRenderer = yourLineRendererComponent;
    lineRenderer.startWidth = 1; //optional
    lineRenderer.endWidth = 1; //optional
    MeshCollider meshCollider =
    meshColliderComponentReferenceAddedToYourLineRendererGameObject;
    lineRenderer.positionCount = lineRendererPathVector3Array.Length;
    lineRenderer.SetPositions(lineRendererPathVector3Array);
    lineRenderer.BakeMesh(mesh, Camera.main);
    meshCollider.sharedMesh = mesh;
}

Obviously not debuggued code. Naming the variables so as descriptive as possible so as you know what to do if you would like to try it out.

TRUMP: Our country is stagnant. We've lost our jobs. We're not making things anymore. Our product is pouring in from China, pouring in from Vietnam, pouring in from all over the world. She wants to sign Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Q: How will your energy policy meet our energy needs, while at the same time remaining environmentally friendly and minimizing job loss?
TRUMP: Energy is under siege by the Obama administration. The EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, is killing these energy companies. And you take a look at what's happening to steel and the cost of steel and China dumping vast amounts of steel all over the United States, which essentially is killing our steelworkers and our steel companies. It's an absolute disgrace.
TRUMP said, "You called [TPP] the gold standard of trade deals. And then you heard what I said about it, and all of a sudden you were against it. " Clinton responded, " I did say I hoped it would be a good deal. I was against it once it was finally negotiated and the terms were laid out."
Support deals good for US economy & security; not CAFTA!
CLINTON: I voted for a multinational trade agreement, but I opposed CAFTA because I did not believe it was in the best interests of the workers of America. I did hope that the TPP, negotiated by this administration, I was holding out hope that it would be the kind of trade agreement that I was looking for. Once I saw the outcome, I opposed it. I have a very clear view. We have to trade with the rest of the world. We are 5 percent of the world's population. We have to trade with the other 95 percent. And trade has to be reciprocal. That's the way the global economy works. But we have failed to provide the basic safety net support that American workers need in order to be able to compete and win in the global economy.
Q: You supported Obama's trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, dozen of times. You even called it the "gold standard". Now, suddenly, last week, you're against it.
Within the populist Democratic movement, there is a rising tide against once-popular trade deals. Clinton has been involved with many of the pacts from her time as first lady, in the Senate and finally, as part of the Obama administration.
Clinton saw herself in the middle of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) during her husband's presidency. She supported deals with Oman, Chile and Singapore during her tenure in the Senate. As secretary of State, she was a chief advocate as talks commenced surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), one of the largest worldwide deals in recent history.
Many proponents of the agreements argue that negotiations need to take place in secret in order to protect the fragile interests of participating countries.
At the State Department, Clinton didn't address specifics in the negotiating process, but told attendees at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum conference that she hoped it would "create a new high standard for multilateral free trade."
Q: What would you do differently than a Pres. Obama would when it comes to the economy?
Q: How do you protect American jobs without setting up a situation where other countries discriminate against the things we�re trying to export, particularly agricultural exports?
A: We do export a lot of agricultural goods, many of that through trade agreements. And I think we�ve got to do three things.
We have to have more focus on family farms. We�ve got to do more to make sure trade agreements are not only good for the exporting of agricultural products from great, big agribusiness, but also for small farmers.
We�ve got to do more to build up the agricultural and rural areas of our country.
This past weekend, you expressed some disappointment that NAFTA, in your words, did not realize the benefits that it promised. How would you fix it?
Q [to Sen. Gravel]: A lot of Americans are concerned with outsourcing of US jobs. What�s your solution?
GRAVEL: Outsourcing is not the problem. What is the problem is our trade agreements that benefit the management & the shareholders.
Voted YES on free trade agreement with Oman.
Vote on final passage of a bill to implement the United States-Oman Free Trade Agreement.
International trade can confer tremendous benefits on all of its participants. Unfortunately, the Oman Free Trade Agreement fails to live up to that potential.
In 2001, the US entered into a similar trade agreement with the country of Jordan. The agreement was heralded for its progressive labor standards. However, we have recently seen in Jordan instances of foreign workers forced into slave labor, stripped of their passports, denied their wages, and compelled to work for days without rest.
These incidents have been occurring in Jordan because Jordanian labor laws preclude protections for foreign workers. My fear in Oman is that they have far weaker labor standards, and that would lend itself to even worse conditions than in Jordan.
When our trade partners are held to different, less stringent standards, no one is better off. When Omani firms can employ workers in substandard conditions, the Omani workers and American workers both lose. The playing field is not level.
The Oman Free Trade Agreement sends a very important message that the US strongly supports the economic development of moderate Middle Eastern nations. This is a vital message in the global war on terrorism.
Since the end of WWII, the US has accepted nonreciprocal trade concessions in order to further important Cold War and post-Cold War foreign policy objectives. Examples include offering Japan and Europe nonreciprocal access to American markets during the 1950s in order to strengthen the economies of our allies and prevent the spread of communism.
Oman is quickly running out of oil and, as a result, has launched a series of measures to reform its economy. This free-trade agreement immediately removes Oman's uniform 5% tariff on US goods.
Voted NO on implementing CAFTA for Central America free-trade.
Voted YES on establishing free trade between US & Singapore.
Voted YES on establishing free trade between the US and Chile.
Voted NO on extending free trade to Andean nations.
Voted YES on granting normal trade relations status to Vietnam.
Voted YES on removing common goods from national security export rules.
Build a rule-based global trading system.
The rise of global markets has undermined the ability of national governments to control their own economies. The answer is neither global laissez faire nor protectionism but a Third Way: New international rules and institutions to ensure that globalization goes hand in hand with higher living standards, basic worker rights, and environmental protection. U.S. leadership is crucial in building a rules-based global trading system as well as international structures that enhance worker rights and the environment without killing trade. For example, instead of restricting trade, we should negotiate specific multilateral accords to deal with specific environmental threats.
Conclude a new round of trade liberalization under the auspices of the World Trade Organization.
Open the WTO, the World Bank, and International Monetary Fund to wider participation and scrutiny.
Strengthen the International Labor Organization�s power to enforce core labor rights, including the right of free association.
Launch a new series of multinational treaties to protect the world environment.

Sweets, we love you so much and wish you a very happy birthday! I wish this year's special day had a bit more fanfare...although, a night of trick-or-treating, pizza and beer, and a Mexican dinner with friends at the end of the week sounds pretty fun!
One day soon, we will be back to celebrating our birthdays with a special trip...oh, what fun we had sitting in the sunshine, relaxing on the beach, having long dinners and lots of wine and toasting to our 30s. I'm looking forward to all the future birthday trips we get to take when life makes it a bit more feasible.
Happy Birthday! We love you to pieces!

Gemini woman + Libra man: Celebrity Couples and Compatibility
Ads to support our website
The Libra man and the Gemini woman will have to make an effort to build a relationship since this mechanism itself will not work. Conflicts will arise between partners based on misunderstandings. At the beginning of the relationship, they will have to study each other and accept differences that will initially be frustrating but will later become what holds them together.
Most of the fights will be at the beginning of the relationship. A Gemini man imagines a woman somewhat differently, and he needs time to discern her loyalty and sincerity. On the contrary, a Libra woman falls in love from the first meeting. If a man does not end the relationship ahead of schedule, then a great future awaits the partners. They will discover more and more facets in each other. They will always find topics for conversation and finally decide to get married.
Marriage problems will arise when the period of passion has passed, and partners cannot find a new approach to each other. They are in no hurry to part with the chosen one since this is still a husband and wife. But soon, they begin to live as neighbors. To avoid problems and maintain relationships, partners need to remember about romance and surprises for their spouses. Such gestures of caring will not let the feelings fade away.
Famous Gemini woman and Libra man couples
Missy Peregrym and Zachary Levi 💔
Missy Peregrym and Zachary Levi
Missy is Gemini, and Zachary is Libra. The couple got married in June 2014 after about ten years of relationship. Since Levi is private about his personal life, their meeting's exact date and the beginning of the relationship are unknown. However, after half a year, Peregrym filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The partners' divorce was peaceful and not long since she only wanted to share their shared assets. The reason for such a short marriage was that Levi was not ready for such big commitment, duties, and responsibilities.
Chelsea Field and Scott Bakula ❤
Chelsea Field and Scott Bakula
Chelsea is Gemini, and Scott is Libra. The couple first met on the set of Passion to Kill in 1993. Then Scott was still married, but by his divorce in 1995, Chelsea had already had their first child. After the birth of their second child, the partners got married in 1999. The first marriage that fell apart taught Scott an invaluable lesson. Then he devoted all his time to his career, because of which he did not see how his children grew up, and the relationship suffered. In his second marriage, he worked a lot with his wife Chelsea, and when this was possible, he limited his schedule to spend evenings at home with his family. This method worked, and the partners are still happily married and have happy children.
Coleman «Coley» Laffoon and Anne Heche 💔
Coleman «Coley» Laffoon and Anne Heche
Coleman is Libra, and Anne is Gemini. The partners got married in 2001, a year after they started dating, and in 2002 they had a son together. Their marriage was not destined to last long, and in 2007 Laffoon filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce process took almost two years and was completed in 2009. Between them, there was a fierce struggle for custody and property. Although they have joint custody, the son lives with his father. Heche had to pay a large one-time payment to her ex-husband, as well as pay child support. They also wholly divided the property. In 2017, Heche went to court to revise the terms of her alimony, as her ex-husband was asking for huge sums. By then, her income had dropped, and Laffoon was getting married.
Judy Garland and Mickey Deans ❤
Judy Garland and Mickey Deans
Judy was Gemini, and Mickey was Libra. Deans claimed that they have met in 1966 when she was still married, but her daughter claims that it happened in 1967 after the divorce. Judy was addicted to psychotropic substances, and Deans, as an acquaintance, helped her get the medicine. The daughter thought that Mickey would help her mother cope with the addiction, but he, in turn, gave her access to everything that she wanted to try. The couple got married in the spring of 1969, and three months later, Judy died of an accidental overdose. He never married again after her.
Bruno Mars and Jessica Caban ❤
Bruno Mars and Jessica Caban
Bruno is Libra, and Jessica is Gemini. They met during a dinner at a restaurant in New York in 2011, and for both, it became love at first sight. They soon began dating.

Although they are not married and are not planning on, their relationship grows stronger every year.
Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller 💔
Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller
Merilyn was Gemini, and Arthur was Libra. The couple first met in 1950. Arthur's distant behavior impressed Monroe, and she took it as respect for her. He was married at the time. In 1951, she accompanied him to the airport, hoping that he would divorce his wife and return to her. They exchanged addresses for correspondence, and she put his photo under the pillow. But he stayed in New York, and their next meeting took place only four years later.
In 1955 she moved to New York to study acting and to bond with Miller. He was still married at that time, and she became a celebrity, so it became difficult to keep their romance a secret. Arthur did not want to get a divorce, but he loved Monroe. They got married in 1956. Monroe was inspired by love and delighted with the marriage but found her husband's notes to say how he was disappointed in her. Marilyn was depressed. This was not the last difficulty in their marriage. The conflicts escalated, she had three miscarriages. In 1960, they announced their separation, and in 1961, Monroe went to Mexico for a divorce. Miller did not attend her funeral a year later, saying, "She won't be there."
Other famous Libra man and Gemini woman couples

The Martin Creed Band @ Brighton Festival
May 12, 2014 May 12, 2014 by Mark Sheerin
Martin Creed has some good tunes. No, really. For the week following his gig in Brighton, there are still one or two which bounce around between the ears.
His lyrics are to the point. Highlight of the show was a rendition of the alphabet, from "a-a a a a-a-a-a" through to "z-z z z z-z-z-z". Creed's lively sense of fun is not news.
But to say the Martin Creed Band were contenders for all time favourite musical act would be somewhat pretentious. Even buying a CD from the merch stand would seem strange.
Conceptual music is generally bad news. "Ideas, sugar, are not sexy," to quote a character in a story by Amy Hempel. This holds true in music, surely. Possibly in art blogs too.
Art itself, by contrast, is a vast playground of ideas. And no one knows this better than Creed. Whether stacking objects according to size or turning a light on and off, the idea is all.
This systematic artist is the least likely musician. But you could argue that a few rock myths find their way in, that happily enough Creed loses a bit of control.
His angular powerpop seems like a matter of taste rather than deliberation. And one thinks of some of Creed's Scottish compatriots, that whole Glasgow heritage.
In fact, the Pastels (named after an art material) once released an example of system pop worthy of Kraftwerk, the Ramones, or anyone else to whom you'd want to compare Creed.
So, it is not hard to locate him in the tradition of bands who shambled into the indie charts three decades ago and learned just enough of their instruments to get up on stage.
But Creed is making things difficult for himself with both harmonica licks and guitar solos. If he is not careful he could get misled by his growing technical skills.
Whereas art has good ideas, music has a wealth of magic and pomp. You cannot strap on an electric guitar without buying into these. Creed even plays a chord midair at one point.
Or did my eyes deceive me? Certainly the visual element was strong, with this unorthodox frontman opting for tartan trousers and a garish tank top. He must have known.
So in contrast to the glam posturings of David Lemalas or Nice Style, from the early 70s, here is an artist who apparently sets out to reject the trappings of rock and roll.
The stage, however, owns him. Swapping guitars from a rack of three or introducing his band, Creed becomes every frontman in the history of rock. It's a curious thing.
The Martin Creed Band played Brighton Dome Studio Theatre on 06 May 2014.

Well Volcanion is in the game code for the 6th generation games, so all they need to do for him is do an event distribution. I have doubts that they will ever add the Ash-Greninja to the games since it is supposed to be a perfect union between trainer and pokemon with the pokemon taking on the trainers appearance, so it would only work if every playable character from now on (even the girls) dressed like Ash (or they changed the lore on that appearance). Wondering the same thing about Perfect Zygarde though.
well, it has been awhile since X and Y, though we head perilously towards the 4 digit number.
And what's wrong with the '4 digit number', if I may ask?
4 means death in Japanese!
it's a homonym for death in chinese too. But seriously, I just feel we're reaching that point where completing the pokedex has become an impossible task and I'm not sure I can remember all the pokemon anymore. The games are still fun of course, but they need to at least up the story this time. The X and Y plot were so nothing, and throw in an immortal huge guy and completely ignore the implications of his existence.
But seriously, I just feel we're reaching that point where completing the pokedex has become an impossible task and I'm not sure I can remember all the pokemon anymore.
Eh it is still possible to complete the pokedex...minus event pokemon. Some of the event pokemon are unlikely to be found through legit means. Like Genesect, he was last given away in 2013...in Japan. Last (ajnd only) time he was given out in the USA was in 2012 (although it looks like he is scheduled for an event in November). But non-event exclusives can be generally acquired without too much issue thanks to breeding and the global trade network.
After months of teasing, the new starter Pokemon have been revealed.
The region, Alola, seems to be based off Hawaii- something a lot of the fanbase had speculated right from the first trailer. I'm honestly amazed how parts of the fanbase were able to figure that out base off the first trailer which barely showed anything.
I don't know how people figured out Hawaii either, but seeing this trailer definitely confirms it. I like the taller character models and the look of the region though.
I also quite like all of the starters! I think it'll be a toss up between Rowlet or Litten for me, but I'll wait to see their evolutions.
Customization is back by the way (or at the very least skin tones), for those of you who got ORAS and really missed it. I guess they took note of how much people wanted it back- this might be a feature that stays for once.
I usually gravitate towards the Grass starter, but I picked Charmander in Gen 1 and picked Froakie last time around. I might go with Litten this time- loved how they gave it a little paw licking animation and everything.
First thing I noticed in a trailer- those circles underneath Pokemon during battle seem to be gone. Hopefully that applies to the whole game and not just what they're showing off- it's a little thing that's bothered me for a while.
So is it viable at this point to make a team of Pokemon Cats? Because if so I hope that's the theme of one of the gyms in Sun/Moon. The Cat Gym.

Monty Roberts Certified Instructors – IrelandYvette Dunienville2021-10-18T15:05:42-07:00
Monty Roberts Certified Instructors
"My greatest accomplishment was learning to be gentle; without that I feel I would have achieved nothing." ~ Monty Roberts
CAROLINE JENNINGS
Caroline Jennings began her training in Monty Roberts concepts in 2004 and became a Certified Instructor in 2008. She returned to Ireland to set up Equus Training Ireland; a facility to educate humans and horses in these non-violent concepts.
Caroline now splits her time between Ireland, Australia and Monty's farm, in the USA. Caroline has had a passion for horses and riding from an early age. She attended Monty's demonstrations in Ireland in the early 90′s and dreamed of working with horses in this way. Choosing horses as her career path, Caroline went to the UK in 2001 where she studied a 4-year BSc degree in Equine and Human Sport Science at Warwickshire College, graduating with honors in 2005. Caroline has assisted Monty Roberts in many areas worldwide, including seminars, demonstrations, veteran courses and private consultancy for professionals in many disciplines. Caroline is passionate about her work, training horses and introducing Monty's methods to people of all ages and horses worldwide through demonstrations, courses and equine assisted therapy.
Sarah attended her first Monty Roberts demonstration at age 11 and the experience opened her eyes to the relationship dynamic between horses and humans. This affected her approach to horses over the next 15 years of her life. Sarah progressed to the top of the Three-day Eventing scene by age 16, representing Ireland internationally.
Sarah has competed in Dressage, Show Jumping and of course Eventing throughout her youth and adulthood. After graduating as a Structural Engineer at 23, Sarah had reconnected with Monty's work at his ranch as a post-graduation holiday to complete her first Join-up course in summer 2008. So began her journey with Monty and his teachings. She completed her Advanced exams by August 2010, and in November 2013 she became a certified Monty Roberts Instructor.
CAITRIONA O'MEARA
Caitriona has always been a people-centered and horse-centered person. She started riding at 8 and saved up and bought her first pony at 12 with a little help! She studied to be a Secondary school teacher and has been teaching for the last 12 years. She is also a qualified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator. She was appointed coordinator of the Horsemanship Courses at higher education levels 5 and 6 in her school.
In 2010, Caitriona did her first Join-Up Course and progressed from there. She became a Monty Roberts' Instructor in 2014, and is now one of three certified instructors in Ireland. Caitriona wants to help people create a bond with their horses that is rooted in trust, while also imparting the skills necessary to improve the relationship and partnership between them.
PADRAIC FOY
Padraic was born into a family whose association with horses goes back generations. After working in various sectors of the equine industry including show jumping, showing, racing and breeding he qualified as a Riding Instructor and owns Drummindoo Stud and Equitation Centre on the West Coast of Ireland.
He felt that traditional methods did not always meet the needs of the horse and he believed that if people could understand and communicate better with horses, life would be better not only for the horses but for people too. After discovering Monty's Concepts he realized that there was a way to achieve this. Deciding to learn more he travelled initially to the UK to study with Kelly Marks, then to the MRILC in California to further his education in this trust based non-violent way of training horses and qualified as a Certified Monty Roberts' Instructor in 2015.
Padraic welcomes the opportunity to introduce people to Monty's Concepts by running courses and clinics in the future.
CLAIRE CONNAGHAN
Claire Connaghan is from Donegal, in the North West of Ireland. She grew up having horses from a very young age and rides mostly English but loves the Western style, too. Her career with horses began with studies in equine science, which led her to work in the racing industry for 10 years. She then trained as a riding instructor and has worked in Australia on a stud farm and on a cattle station.
On returning from Australia, she opened a trekking center, where she offered pony trekking and started and trained young horses. She has always had a soft spot for Thoroughbreds, and when she's not training horses at home she works in the sales industry in Ireland and the UK.
Claire began to specialize in Monty's methods in 2014 and completed her instructor certificate in 2016. She travels between the USA teaching and working alongside Monty with horses and offers courses from home in Donegal and also offers home visits to your yard to work with you and your horse. Claire is also a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist.

Sinceits inception, Social Security has been the foundation on which America'sretirement security rests. It has demonstrated its strength by payingbenefits without interruption in good times and bad, during periods ofrecession and disaster and during recovery and healing. The program'sdurability is demonstrated yet again in this year's Trustees Report. The reportis good news for working Americans and for seniors.
Social Security remains strong,and will be able to pay full benefits for many years to come – until 2034.Thereafter, there will still be enough income coming into the program topay 79 percent of all benefits owed.
Social Security remainswell-funded. With the economy in recovery, the Trustees estimate that, in2015, Social Security's total income will exceed its expenses by over $9.2billion. In fact, the Trustees estimate that total annual income isexpected to exceed program obligations through 2019.
The Trustees report there isnow nearly $2.79 trillion in the Social Security Trust Fund, which is $25billion more than last year, and that it will continue to grow by payrollcontributions, income taxes paid on benefits, and interest on the TrustFund's assets.
TheSocial Security Act established a Board of Trustees to oversee the Old-Age,Survivors and Disability Insurance Trust Funds (OASDI), popularly known as theSocial Security Trust Funds. Each year the Trustees issue a report on thefinancial status of the Trust Funds. The report is a snapshot of the projectedhealth of the funds over the upcoming 75 years. The 2015 report is the 75threport that has been prepared by the Trustees since the beginning of theprogram. With the help of the Social Security Administration actuaries, theTrustees estimate the income and expenditures of the Funds, taking into accountprojections of both demographic and economic factors.
TheSocial Security Trust Funds are considered to be in long-range balance when theincome to the Funds exceeds expenditures over 75 years. When income doesnot meet expenditures in the long run, there is a shortfall, or deficit. Income, expenditures and balances are expressed in both dollars and as a"percent of payroll," meaning the percent of all wages andself-employment income subject to taxation that is projected to be earned byAmericans over the 75-year valuation period. The 2015 report finds that thecombined OASDI Trust Fund has an actuarial deficit equal to 2.68 percent ofpayroll, down from 2.88 percent projected last year. This year'simprovement is explained by the change in the valuation periodand by modest adjustments made in some of the economic and demographicassumptions on which the estimates are based.
Althoughthe actuarial deficit has improved modestly, the Social Security program'sfinancial health still needs to be strengthened. Despite the crisis mythsperpetuated by some, including many in the media, the National Committeebelieves that Congress can improve the long-term outlook for Social Securitywith modest and manageable changes in revenue without enacting harmful cuts forcurrent or future retirees. Recent polling has shown that Americans of allpolitical persuasions value Social Security, want to improve benefits and arewilling to pay higher taxes to preserve the program. An example of abroadly-supported change is to lift the payroll tax cap.
SocialSecurity is financed mainly through payroll taxes on wages and self-employmentincome. Employees and employers each make contributions equal to 6.2 percent ofwages, up to a wage cap of $118,500 in 2015 that increases with the growth inthe nationwide average wage. In 1983, the wage cap was set at an amountthat would tax about 90 percent of all wage income in the United States. Since then, wages at the high end of the income scale have risen faster thanaverage paychecks in recent years, so today the cap only covers about 83percent of wages.
Theself-employed contribute the equivalent of the combined employer and employeetax rates, which totals 12.4 percent. They are then allowed to deduct theequivalent of the employer's share from their income taxes.
Inaddition to payroll tax contributions, Social Security receives revenue fromincome taxes on Social Security benefits paid by retirees with higher incomes.It is also credited with interest from its Treasury bond holdings.
Accordingto the 2015 Trustees Report, income from Social Security payroll taxesaccounted for about 85 percent of Trust Fund income in 2014 while transfers fromthe general fund comprised about one tenth of one percent. Income taxespaid on Social Security benefits represented 3 percent, and interest on reservesmade up the remaining 11 percent.
Atthe end of 2014, about 59 million people were receiving benefits: 42 millionretired workers and their dependents, 6 million survivors of deceased workers,and 11 million disabled workers and their dependents. 166 million workershad earnings covered by Social Security and paid payroll taxes.
TheTrust Funds, and the interest earned by the assets they hold, form a vitallyimportant element of Social Security's financing. Although it is fashionable onthe part of some to dismiss the importance of the Social Security Trust Fundsand to discount the income produced by their assets, the Trust Funds are anessential element of the program's funding. And it is important toemphasize that the Trust Funds did not accumulate the huge sums they now holdby accident.
Throughoutmost of the history of the program, the Trust Funds played only a limited rolein the funding of the program. That is because for many years thebalances they held were relatively small and were used only as a contingencyreserve to tide the program over in years when revenue temporarily fell belowthe level needed to pay benefits.
TheSocial Security Act of 1983 expanded this role. At that time Congressmade the decision, in essence, to partially pre-fund the retirement of babyboomers by accumulating a very substantial balance in the Trust Funds. Asthe present balance of over $2.79 trillion testifies, Congress was successfulin that regard.
Somequestion whether this plan will work. There are economists who argue thatthe balances in the Trust Funds, and the interest they earn, are noteconomically meaningful. Others question how the bonds would be redeemedwhen the money is needed to pay benefits. Still others argue that theprogram has to be cut to make sure that the Trust Funds' assets never have tobe drawn down.
Webelieve the important point to remember about the Trust Funds is that they holdbonds that were purchased with money that was paid into the program by millionsof Americans. Those who made these contributions are well aware of theamounts that were deducted from their paychecks, and they expect the U.S.government will redeem these bonds just like any other debt obligation it has.
Clearly,it is important that action be taken to strengthen the financial soundness ofthe Social Security program so that it remains available to all Americans, bothnow and in the future. There are many different options for strengtheningthis vital program, and developing a consensus remains a challenge that must bemet by the nation's leaders. Because of the decision made in 1983 tobuild up a significant balance in the Trust Funds, we have time to develop thatconsensus.
TheTrustees project that the Social Security Trust Funds will be able to pay fullbenefits until the year 2034, which represents a 1-year improvement over lastyear's report. After 2034, SocialSecurity will have sufficient annual revenue to pay about 79 percent ofbenefits, a two percentage point increase over last year's estimate.
Theprojected actuarial deficit of the Social Security program, measured as apercent of taxable payroll over the 75-year projection period, is 2.68 percentof taxable payroll, compared with last year's estimate of 2.88 percent.
Anotherimportant way to look at Social Security's future is to view its annual costand tax income as a share of U.S. economic output, or gross domestic product(GDP). Social Security's cost as a percentage of GDP is projected by theTrustees to rise from its projected 2016 level of 4.89 percent to about 6.05 percentin 2037. After 2037, Social Security'scost as a percent of GDP declines to a low of 5.93 percent of GDP by 2050 and thereafterslowly increases to 6.19 percent by 2089.
Seenfrom this perspective, the projected growth of Social Security is relativelyflat and can be managed through modest changes to the program.
TheDisability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund represents a special case. The Trusteesproject that the DI Trust Fund will be depleted in 2016, the same yearprojected in last year's report. After 2016, 81 percent of scheduledbenefits will be payable. Disability expenditures have increased primarily dueto demographic trends – as baby boomers age into the disability-prone years (theyturn ages 50 to 68 in 2014), more people become disabled and thus receivebenefits. The increase in full retirement age from 65 to 66 (and to 67for those born after 1959) has also contributed to the increase in disabilityexpenditures, as people remain on the disability rolls longer before shiftingto retirement.
Congresshas reallocated income across the Social Security Trust Funds 11 times – fromthe Old- Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund to the DI Trust Fund and viceversa. When Congress took action in 1994 to address a then-reported shortfallin the DI Trust Fund, it knew that it would have to take action again in 2015or 2016. In fact, like this year's report, the Social Security TrusteesReport for 1995 projected that the DI Trust Fund would be depleted in 2016. Areallocation of part of the 6.2 percent Social Security tax rate from theOld-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund to the DI Trust Fund would ensurethat both funds can pay full benefits until 2034, after which about 79 percentof scheduled benefits would be covered.
TheTrustees Report projects no cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) for nextyear. The National Committee is not convinced that this estimateaccurately reflects the inflation affecting today's seniors and believes thatSocial Security's COLA needs to be strengthened.
Undercurrent law, a Social Security beneficiary receives an increase in his or herSocial Security check each year based on the previous year's increase in thecost of living. This COLA is intended to offset the individual'sadditional expenses resulting from inflation. The Social Security COLA ismeasured based on the increase in the cost of a market basket of goods andservices from the third quarter of one year to the third quarter of the nextyear. The size of the COLA is announced by the Social SecurityAdministration, usually in October, and beneficiaries see the change in theirJanuary Social Security payment.
Seniorsspend a significant portion of their income on out-of-pocket health careexpenses not covered by Medicare. As time goes by, more and more of theirSocial Security benefit checks will be eaten up by rising health carecosts. According to the Medicare Trustees, 36 percent of the averagesenior's Social Security check will be consumed by Medicare out-of-pocket costsby 2089, compared with 23 percent today.
Seniorscannot afford to have their COLA calculated using an index that does notaccurately gauge the spending patterns that are unique to them. That iswhy the National Committee supports legislation that would base the SocialSecurity COLA on a fully-developed consumer price index for the elderly, orCPI-E, that better reflects the purchasing patterns of seniors. This kind ofspecialized index should be used to make sure that seniors' buying power doesnot erode over time.
Ournation needs Social Security more than ever.These modest benefits have become the last remaining pillar of economicsecurity for millions of Americans.Personal savings have been difficult to accumulate because middle classwages have remained stagnant for three decades. More than half of all workers have no retirement plans at work andmillions more have no retirement savings. While Social Security has liftedgenerations of seniors out of poverty, benefits must be improved to protect thegrowing share of seniors who depend on the program for all or more of theirretirement income.
Changing the valuation period this year involves dropping 2014, a year with anet surplus, and replacing it with 2089, a year with no surplus.

Q: Looping without a collection variable in flow I am working on a requirement to create child records based on the field value present in the parent record using flow.
If Obj__c is the parent object and Ch__c is its child object and if count__c is a field in Obj__c holding the number of child records to create, can we achieve this using flow. In flow, can we use a normal variable(instead of collection variable) to loop through for creating records. Thanks.
With Apex it is something like this(assuming Obj__c is passed to the flow):
List<Ch__c> childs = new List<Ch__c>();
for(Integer i=1;i<=Obj__c.count__c;i++)
{
   Ch__c c = new Ch__c(Name__c =Obj__c.Val__c);
   childs.add(c);

STRONG OFFICE SPACE DEMAND IN THE UK 'BIG 6' CITIES DESPITE BREXIT UNCERTAINTIES
Demand for office space in the UK regional office markets has remained strong at the outset of 2016 despite uncertainties surrounding a potential Brexit. A total of 1,381,350 sq ft of office space was taken in the 'Big 6' regional cities in Q1, marginally below the final quarter performance of 2015 but 27% higher than the five quarterly average.
The leading cities in terms of year-to-date take-up are Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow, with total volumes of around the 285,000 sq ft mark in each of these three cities. All of these markets have substantially outperformed their 5 year quarterly average and have each supported a strong level of pre-letting activity. In the case of Glasgow, the Q1 volume is twice the quarterly average. The strong start in this market is the result of Morgan Stanley signing a large pre-let for 154,814 sq ft at the first phase of Bothwell Exchange.
Bristol, with a first quarter take-up total of 195,502 sq ft acquired for occupation, has also outperformed its quarterly average (by 42%), albeit at a lower volume than the leading three. Take-up volumes were bolstered in this market by EDF Energy's acquisition of 81,202 sq ft of Grade A office floorspace at Bridgewater House, Finzels Reach, in preparation for the forthcoming development of Hinckley Point C power station.
We have seen a strong level of occupier activity in the 'Big 6' regional office markets in the first quarter of 2016. Indeed, the strength of activity in Birmingham has led to an increase in prime rental levels to £32.00 per sq ft. Given these volumes and the positive amount of pre-let activity we have seen, occupier appetite is clearly resilient. Any effects surrounding the uncertainty of a potential Brexit have yet to materialise.

Fr. Perrone's homily for Sunday, February 14, 2016 - On the Devil
Visit GrottoCast to hear Fr. Perrone's homily from this past Sunday. It was the first Sunday in Lent. The Gospel was about the temptations of Christ. Fr. Perrone spoke about that and how the devil runs interference in our spiritual lives.
Visit GrottoCast.com for audio homilies from Assumption Grotto and more.
Audio of Fr. Perrone's homily for Quinquagesima now available
This past Sunday it was Quinquagesima in the 1962 Missal. Here is a link to the GrottoCast post to hear that homily online. If you have the free SoundCloud app and follow GrottoCast, look for this homily there.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Assumption Grotto distributes ashes according to the 1962 Missal, where it happens before the liturgy begins. In the past, Fr. Perrone has done the Blessing of Ashes before beginning the 7:30 a.m. Mass and those ashes were distributed before the start of the 7:00 p.m. Mass. In addition, there will be distribution of ashes at Noon for those who cannot make either Mass. Noteworthy is that the choir and schola sing at the 7:00 p.m. Mass. It is choir night and they have an abbreviated rehearsal following the Liturgy.
On Thursday, following the 7:00 p.m. Mass, there will be a Rosary procession to the outdoor grotto for the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes (weather permitting).
On Friday, Fr. Perrone will begin his Lenten reflections on the psalms. As posted earlier, the parish Fish Fry run by the Grotto K of C, runs from 4-7 pm. From 6:45 - 7:30 p.m., Fr. Perrone will have his talk. That is followed by Stations of the Cross in the Church, then Mass in the extraordinary form. The talks continue every Friday, except Good Friday (but there will be a fish fry). Please support this parish fund raiser. A flyer is embedded here for details.
Thanks to parishioner Beth Y. for providing this snapshot from the 9:30 a.m. Mass
Lenten Talks on the Psalms on Friday evenings by Fr. Perrone
FISH FRY FRIDAYS AND LENTEN TALKS
As can be seen in the attached flyer, Fr. Perrone will be doing a series of talks on the Psalms on Fridays during Lent.
Please note, for Lent only, the Friday evening Mass is later. The talks will begin at 6:45 and go to 7:30 PM. At 7:30, Stations of the Cross will be prayed in the church, followed by an EF low Mass. This allows people to eat and observe the pre-Mass fast.
FEBRUARY 11: FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES
In the evening, following the 7:00 PM Mass, there will be a Rosary procession out to the grotto in honor of Our lady of Lourdes (weather permitting). The grotto, after which the parish gets it's name, was built in the 1800's after the pastor visited Lourdes, France.

ABI backs infrastructure investment push
Forum to plot means of mobilising sector's financial muscle
Insurers have welcomed Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's move to mobilise the sector's financial muscle for investment in the UK's creaking infrastructure.
Commenting on the National Infrastructure Plan, which was unveiled in yesterday's autumn spending statement, ABI director general Otto Thoresen said: "The bond markets are a huge untapped source of finance and insurers have long been keen to find a way to channel more of the investments they manage into UK projects to help the economy fight its way back to growth. However, without action from Government we would be fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.
"We want to work with the Government to create a new asset class of infrastructure bonds which could see insurers investing in everything from railways to new hospitals. But we must remember insurance and pension funds are investing money people have saved or paid in to protect themselves.
"Fund managers have a responsibility to make sure the investments they choose deliver for these savers over the long term. That is why we are pleased that the Government has agreed to set up an Insurers' Infrastructure Investment Forum, which will have ministerial involvement, where we can work together to make sure that the bonds are attractive to a wide set of funds and that regulatory and economic barriers are tackled quickly to make real, significant investment for growth a reality."

With Machine Learning, It's All About The Ground Truth Data
AI in healthcare and medicine are growing areas of investment, reaching almost $1.3
billion across 107 deals in 2017. The availability of the right data at scale is a critical factor in this space.
In the Global AI issue of AIMed magazine, iMerit Solutions Architect Dr Sina Bari writes about the data bottleneck and how it is tackled with a skilled workforce of data contributors.
Some excerpts from the article:
The art and science of diagnostics is perhaps the most difficult challenge for AI as each clinician's decision is often informed by a lifetime of experience and study. It is also part of the medical pipeline that offers the greatest opportunity for machine learning to produce a significant impact. An accurate image analysis algorithm, for instance, can free up the bottleneck caused by the low specialist to patient ratio in most geographies around the world. But for AI to be successful, three facets of the data challenge – scale, accuracy, and cost – have to be resolved to train models to reach their full potential. The sheer volume of medical data presents a challenge to scaling. A single MRI, CT, PET, or ultrasound scan generates thousands of images, and up to 80% of a radiologist's time is spent going through each image one at a time and organizing the findings. However if experts like radiologists, cardiologists, or pathologists have to work on segmentation and labeling of datasets with hundreds of thousands of images for the purpose of teaching algorithms, the same bottleneck becomes further aggravated. Using medical experts to label the data also quickly escalates the expense of the operation and the cost of building a viable product.
There are several advantages to partnering with a dedicated in-house workforce. The secure environment helps customers manage their data pipeline with confidence. Once the project is underway, a continuous and iterative review process takes place, particularly while dealing with tricky edge cases. Large volume data exposure combined with expert supervision then provides insights to long-tail problems and obstacles. Lastly, a multipass workflow ensures the degree of precision and accuracy necessary for medical applications. Labelers gain further expertise by expanding their understanding to new modalities and pathologies over time.

Happy Birthday, Mr Commissioner
Published in Mumbai Mirror as "Happy Birthday, Mr MC" on 2 July 2015.
It is a year of missed anniversaries in Mumbai. The downpour which shut down the city on 19 June 2015 not only forced the Shiv Sena to cancel its Golden Jubilee celebrations, but to answer for more than two decades running a municipality larger than many state governments. While the ruling party must indeed be held to account, another, much older, anniversary that passed unnoticed should help explain why India's oldest and wealthiest civic body remains such a mess. In 150 years there has been hardly any structural change in the institutions of municipal government in Mumbai.
Arthur Travers Crawford, first Municipal Commissioner of Bombay (1865-71)
On 1 July 1865, the first "Municipal Commissioner for the Town and Island of Bombay", Arthur Trawers Crawford, was appointed by the Government of Bombay, along with the predecessor to today's municipal Corporators – a body of "Justices of the Peace". The city until then was a swampy archipelago focussed on trading, where government was minimal and ad-hoc. JPs had scant powers over policing and conservancy, to collect taxes, or keep the streets drained and swept. Funds were vested in three commissioners answering directly to government, a "triumvirate" which often worked at cross-purposes.
While moving the new Act of 1865 for a single "Chief Executive" for Mumbai along with Sir Jamshetji Jeejeebhoy in the Governor's Council, its co-sponsor Walter Cassels commented that "the town does not want municipal officers with the pen of a ready writer, but with brooms that sweep clean". Crawford set about his task with zeal – laying out streets and markets, improving sanitation and water supply. The JPs soon complained they had no power over his purse strings. Much like today's appointees, Crawford was then transferred, the "man at the top" whose "head must roll".
Indian landlords and merchants also demanded their say in civic affairs proportionate to Crawford's hiked property taxes. It was in the wake of this agitation against hiked rates that a young Pherozeshah Mehta returned from England in 1869 to take up their cause of "no taxation without representation", and with K.T. Telang helped create the "local self-government" we know in Mumbai today. With the liberal Viceroy Lord Ripon – who laid the founding stone for the BMC Head Office where his statue now stands – Sir Pherozeshah authored the 1888 BMC Act, still the city's current constitution. This trod a wise path between a colonial executive and the few wealthy Indians who qualified to vote or be elected to the corporation.
By the time "Sir PM" passed away in 1915, Gandhi had just returned to discover his "real India" in the villages, not colonial cities like Bombay. As he toured the countryside to mobilise the masses, by 1922, the British began opening voting to rent-payers, not just property tax-payers. In 1936 the minimum qualification to vote was further reduced from Rs 10 to Rs 5 rent. But beyond expanding the voter franchise and the extending the city limits in 1950 and 1956, by Independence, reforms to urban governance remained stillborn. Even as "Greater Mumbai" grew in size and scale, it was and remains governed by the same 1888 Act, based on the 1865 idea of vesting all executive power in a single, unelected MC.
While Independence did little to transform urban governance, globalisation has now made cities pivotal to the development of their regional and national economies. Today most of Mumbai's municipal wards are now more populous than most US or European cities, but are still overseen by a single Assistant Commissioner. In Britain – where Lord Ripon's reforms originated – the Corporator-Commissioner system was replaced with Town Councils in the 70s, though elected urban bodies have made a comeback, especially in London. In the US, popular elected government – especially for city Mayor – has long been a fact of urban life.
In the past decade national laws such as the 74th Amendment and RTI have helped transform urban instititions through slow and constant citizen pressure. Even as "Smart Cities" are being planned all over India, and new cities like Vasai-Virar are created on the same old Victorian model, serious proposals for urban reform remain absent.
India has had an elected Prime Minister under a democratic Constitution for more than sixty years, and the State of Maharashtra its own Assembly and Chief Minister for more than fifty years. Though the Sena briefly experimented with Calcutta's Mayor-in-Council system in Mumbai in 1989, Mumbai's Mayor has since 1931 been a ceremonial leader of the House. While Commissioners may come and go, a popular Mayor elected by and responsible to all citizens of Greater Mumbai would be a belated birthday gift for the old Urbs Prima in Indis.

Nucleotide second messengers in bacterial decision making
Catriona Thompson (Lead Author), Jacob Malone
Since the initial discovery of bacterial nucleotide second messengers (NSMs), we have made huge progress towards understanding these complex signalling networks. Many NSM networks contain dozens of metabolic enzymes and binding targets, whose activity is tightly controlled at every regulatory level. They function as global regulators and in specific signalling circuits, controlling multiple aspects of bacterial behaviour and development. Despite these advances there is much still to discover, with current research focussing on the molecular mechanisms of signalling circuits, the role of the environment in controlling NSM pathways and attempts to understand signalling at the whole cell/community level. Here we examine recent developments in the NSM signalling field and discuss their implications for understanding this important driver of microbial behaviour.

Global Energy Metals entered into an option agreement with Nevada Sunrise Gold, a Vancouver based company, whereby Global Energy Metals has been granted the Option to acquire an 85% undivided interest in the Lovelock cobalt mine and Treasure Box project located in Churchill County Nevada. Consideration is USD$75,000 cash payable over 2 years, 1,728,133 Payment Shares at a deemed per share price of $0.15 and approximately 1,615,459 Re-imbursement Shares to Nevada over 2 years for reimbursement of share payments to be made according to the underlying option held by Primus Resources Ltd. ("Primus"). Re-imbursement shares are subject to a floor price of $0.05. Primus will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty with the Company and Nevada, as joint venture partners, having the right to purchase half (1%) for 10 years from the effective date of the Primus underlying option for US$1,500,000.
The vendor carried out two site visits to the Lovelock Mine in November and December 2017 and collected representative grab rock samples of historical mine waste, and various bedrock samples at the Lovelock Mine and in the areas of other nearby historical adits. The analytical results of several of the rock samples show strong enrichment in cobalt, nickel and copper. Geophysical Survey In December 2017, an initial 4.2 kilometre (2.6 miles) reconnaissance DC resistivity/induced polarization ("DC-IP") survey by SJ Geophysics of Delta, BC, consisting of stations spaced 25 to 50 metres (80-160 feet) apart on five lines was completed across the Lovelock Mine area. This DC-IP survey is projected to have a depth of investigation deeper than the mining to the 100-foot level reported in the 1880s. The results of the survey not only detected the historic, near-surface mine workings and interpreted alteration (red areas on figure), but also show chargeability features (green areas on figure) related to structure and possible mineralization to a depth from surface of approximately 200 metres (656 feet).
The rocks of the Lovelock Mine and Treasure Box area include highly altered sedimentary and volcanic rocks cut by a larger mass of diorite and by aplitic dikes, all of which are now highly altered. The altered volcanic rocks lie in a syncline bordered on the west, north and east by the altered sedimentary rocks. Probable faults, inferred from the nature of the contacts, form the boundaries between the sedimentary and volcanic rocks to the northwest. The cobalt and nickel minerals of the Lovelock Mine and the nearby Nickel Mine occur in stringers that cut the rock immediately surrounding the diorite. In the case of the Lovelock Mine, the stringers cut a highly-altered greenstone. The minerals recognized are tetrahedrite, erythrite (cobalt bloom), azurite, and green crusts that contain copper and nickel arsenates and sulphates. Other sources reported the principal mineral present is cobaltite. It was postulated by historical observers that there has been post-mineral faulting with downthrow on the west, and that the extension of the productive zone is west of the Lovelock Mine shaft and at greater depth than the historical workings could reach (Source: "Nickel Deposits in Cottonwood Canyon, Churchill County, Nevada", H.G. Ferguson, 1939).

Yes, I need to receive the value as number and compare it with variables (no MYSQL).
I set on each test the name, eg: $varname = "Paul";
Here´s what I´m doing and what I´d like to change.
Thanks a lot
// from previous page with input name thenumber
$thenumber = $_POST['thenumber'];

$option1 = "1";
$option1 = "2";
$option1 = "3";
$option1 = "4";
$option1 = "5";
$option1 = "6";
...
...
More options

if($thename == $option1)
{
$varname = "Paul";
}
else if ($thename == $option2)
{
$varname = "Louie";
}
else if ($thename == $option3)
{
$varname = "Dimitri";
}
...
...

A: It would be much cleaner to do this with a switch.
I don't think using a for loop will be a good idea.
Be sure to put a break after each case ends.
The default case is when $thename is none of the numbers in the cases.
switch ($thename) {
    case 1:
        $varname = "paul";
        break;
    case 2:
        $varname = "Louie";
        break;
    case 3:
        $varname = "Dimitri";
        break;
    ...
    default:
        $varname = "default_name";
        break;
}
