10 Things You Didn't Know About Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier
Nat Berman 10 months ago
Kenneth Frazier holds impressive credentials and is best known to most, for his role as the CEO of Merck & Co., the large pharmaceutical company. He holds the distinction of being the first African American to become the leader of a major pharmaceutical corporation. He's a savvy business executive with a sharp intellect and flair for using words to influence and promote the positions that he represents in business. For those who know him, this isn't news, but here are ten things about Frazier that you didn't know.
1. He's a native of Philly
Kenneth Carlton Frazier was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 17 of 1954. He is currently age 63. He was raised by both parents until his mother passed away when he was just 12 years old. His father Otis, who was a janitor became a single father at this point in their family life.
2. He has an Ivy League education
Frazier is a highly educated man who attended schools in the Philadelphia area. When he was younger, he attended Julia R. Masterman School, followed by Northeast High School, from which he graduated at the young age of 16. He immediately enrolled at Pennsylvania State University, earning his B.A. degree. When Kenneth completed this degree, he entered Harvard University, majoring in Law, and earned his J.D. in 1978 when he was just 24 years of age. This was an impressive accomplishment for a very success minded young man.
3. He worked hard when he was young
While other kids may have been playing games all day and hanging out with their friends, Kenneth Frazier kept himself busy. His father worked hard at his job to support the family and Kenneth did his part as well. While he was in college, he raised newts and tadpoles and sold them to stores locally, to make some extra money. This was a sideline income source that didn't interfere with his intense studies. He was not only smart, Frazier was also resourceful.
4. He started his professional career as a lawyer
With his credentialing in place, Kenneth Frazier was an excellent candidate for some of the better positions that were available for attorneys. His first job was with the Drinker Biddle law firm in Philadelphia. His work was high quality and by 1991 he had made it to the position of partner.
5. He defended death row inmates
The head of the Death Penalty Representation Project, Esther F. Lardent, requested that Frazier defend James Willie "Bo" Cochran, an inmate on death row. He had been accused of murder in 1976 and sat on death row for 19 years. Frazier accepted the challenge in 1991. Frazier and two of his colleagues from the firm were successful in getting a retrial for Cochran, and in 1997, the accused was found to be not guilty of the charges.
6. He taught law to students in a foreign country
Frazier has an evident love of education. He rolled up his sleeves as a young man and became a J.D by the age of 24. He has a heart for budding young lawyers and has taken four sabbaticals during the summertime to impart his wisdom to others. He spent this time off in South Africa, teaching trial advocacy.
7. Frazier was inspired by his hero
Most boys have their childhood heroes, and sometimes they are so impressed that they follow in their footsteps. Kenneth Frazier shared that growing up, one of his heroes was Thurgood Marshall. We do see some similarities in his chosen path of pursuing a law degree. Perhaps one day, Frazier will end up serving in the higher courts as well.
8. He is quite the philosopher
Frazier is not afraid to share his beliefs and points of view publicly. It's not that he's particularly outspoken, but he has opinions that are of value and he consistently looks for ways to improve the society that we live in. In 2018, he was elected to the American Philosophical Society, which is definitely an accolade.
9. He was involved in the Sandusky investigation
Frazier, who was a trustee of the Penn State Board of Trustees, was appointed by the committee to chair the special investigation launched into the Jerry Sandusky controversy that erupted at Penn State. There were allegations that the University staged a cover-up of child sex abuse that Sandusky was accused of committing. It was reported that college officials were aware of complaints and did nothing about it. Under intensive pressure and guided by his passion, Frazier became animated and gave in to his feelings with a few choice outbursts, for which he later apologized.
10. He was appointed to a Trump council but later resigned
Frazier was a member of the American Manufacturing Council under the Trump administration. He disagreed with the President's position that there were "many sides" responsible for the violence that erupted in the Unite the Right rally that took place in Virginia. He resigned from the council and stated that "America's leaders must honor our fundamental views by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy…"

Say 'No' to Cob Web Cans!
Hey! We love that you're interested in this, but just a heads up, it's for Southwest Florida.
FORT MYERS, FL – We've all done it…purchased canned food that we expected ourselves to eat, but then somehow or another, it found its way to the back of the pantry, never to be seen again…
At least, not until it's months (or years…c'mon somebody) down the road during a cleanout, and well past the expiration.
KER-PLUNK! In the garbage, it goes.
Did you know that here in the United States we toss out between 30 and 40 percent of the AVAILABLE food supply?! It's true, according to a March 15 press release from Lee County, Florida Government.
That same press release said that during a 2016 audit, it was determined that, "In Lee County, food waste accounts for 13%, or 70,000 tons, of the local waste stream."
A big problem needs a bigger solution! Introducing…
"DONATED NOT WASTED"
Thankfully, the Lee County Waste system is finding a way to make sure food is going to fill hungry stomachs instead of filling our landfills.
For the third straight year, Lee County Solid Waste has come together with local partners for Donated not Wasted, a campaign to collect unopened, unused pantry items. The campaign is especially timely for Southwest Florida's seasonal residents who may be headed back north for the spring and summer.
"The idea actually started over at our household chemical waste drop-off facility," Molly Schweers, Communication Specialist for Lee County Solid Waste Department said. "We noticed as our snowbirds were leaving town, they were bringing us things that were not problematic, like their Windex and their dish soap. We thought, 'these [people] are just clearing out their places. They want it to be empty when they leave. So what are they doing with the food?"
And so, what Schweers referred to as a "food rescue" was born.
Out of the pantry, and onto a plate!
"The two previous [Donated not Wasted] campaigns resulted in 6,000 pounds of food diverted from potential disposal – enough to provide 5,000 meals to hungry people." – March 15 Lee County Government release.
Harry Chapin Food Bank, which has long been a great partner for WayFM's PB&J drive, is one of several organizations that are making sure the food collected goes to good use. Meg Madzar, the organization's food drive coordinator, said that Harry Chapin distributed "32.4 million pounds of food" in 2020. "Now, we are distributing nearly 1 million pounds a week and feeding a quarter of a million people a month."
Donated not Wasted is taking place until April 5 at the drop-off locations that are listed below. More information can also be found by visiting www.leegov.com/solidwaste or calling (239) 533-8000.
"Some people from colder areas just came down here [during the pandemic] to shelter in place, so we had a feeling that there might be more food this year, and we were right," Schweers said. "So far, we're ahead of schedule with the [food] poundage collected."
Drop off locations include:

July is also a big month for the vegetable garden, and not just of harvesting: I'm sowing fresh crops to enjoy this fall (like more peas); more on doing a tuneup in the edible garden below.
Frankly, July always starts out as Throw In the Trowel Month here, and I often do feel overwhelmed. But then summer shapes up and the heat-loving plants—tall perennials, ornamental grasses, vegetables we've waited all year to taste again–have their day.
WEED! Make a pass through each bed each week, since weeds are not just unsightly but steal moisture, nutrients and light from desired plants. Again: Top up mulch to help in the plight.
OBSERVE WHILE WEEDING: Try to remember what's done well (or not) so far in each bed. Make notes, to plan for fall reworking of problem spots, or a bed redesign. Are some spots that seem to invite weeds to sow with abandon—like the driveway, or other gravel surfaces, or cracks between pavers—requiring hours of finger-numbing work (or, more likely, just being left unweeded)? Again, decision time. To solarize (lay down plastic sheeting, and use summer heat and sun to cook the weeds to death over a few weeks)? Or to spray? I say no to chemical herbicides, so there are sheets of plastic here and there, and the scuffle hoe is getting a workout, too.
GARDENS NEED AN INCH OF WATER a week from you or the heavens. Check your rain gauge. Soak beds deeply in the root zone, but don't spritz things with a sprayer now and again like you're washing the car. That's a garden no-no. Containers, especially smallish ones in sun, need daily attention, and they also need periodic feeding. Be alert!
IF YOU ARE IN JAPANESE BEETLE territory, handpick each morning and again later in the day. Drown in a can of soapy water. Remember, we can't eliminate them; we have to manage them. Consider a biological (non-toxic) control to further help reduce overwintering grub population with nematodes or perhaps Milky Spore inoculation, or one of the other biologicals covered in this government bulletin for homeowners (pdf).
WITH OTHER OBVIOUS pests like tomato hornworms, squash bugs, Colorado potato beetles or imported cabbage worms, I do the same: handpick early each morning, and destroy. And then I do a very serious fall cleanup, removing all debris to a distance (I compost it at my office, where there is no vegetable garden).
STOP FEEDING woody plants if you are, as I am, in a zone that has a cold winter. Promoting more soft growth in high summer and beyond isn't good; time for them to start moving toward the hardening-off phase of their cycle. No more eats till late winter or earliest spring.
TREES ARE vulnerable to drought, if you're having a dry year, particularly the oldest and the youngest (those planted in the last few years). Water deeply, as with a Tree-Gator. Ugly…but better than not watering.
CONTINUE SOWING carrots, beets, radishes, lettuce, dill. I re-sow some broccoli cousins such as spigarello, and kales, plus fall peas. With salad greens, select heat-resistant varieties, and sow small amounts every 10 days. I do it under a couple of hoops with a bit of Reemay clothes-pinned onto them to cast some shade. Direct-sow a short row of bush beans every two weeks through month's end, and another mound of bush cukes and zucchini right this very minute (your timing may vary; I am Zone 5B). About planning the fall vegetable garden.
KEEP ASPARAGUS well weeded and water it, too. Let asparagus ferns grow till hard frost to feed the underlying crowns.
ORDER BULBS to get varieties you want (see Resources for catalog suggestions). Remember our "early, middle, late" mantra when doing so.
I have one question about sowing seeds for perennials this time of year—how hot is too hot for seeds to germ? What can you do to start these successfully in hot little black nursery pots?
Hi Margaret – I bought 2 shrub roses last year with the promise that they were pest resistant. All of the leaves look like lace and not in a good way! any idea what I can do? I do not use chemicals and I know you feel the same way.
How do you feel about vinegar for driveway weeds? I can't possibly pull them all.
I had an invasion of chipmunks in my shade garden and use sliced apple and " have-a-heart " cage to relocate them to a wildlife area.
Hi, Ann. Any of these descriptions sound familiar?
I have never found any rose yo be pest resistant.
Its a myth. But I wish it was true.
Great list! What about powdery mildew? I read the post twice – did I miss it? My viburnum tinys hedge is covered for the first time ever – as is some nearby nandina. Is neem oil the answer? Prune most of the infected branches first? Thanks so much!
Hi, Liza. It's easier prevented and somewhat managed than it is ever "cured," so you have to get out ahead of it by growing resistant varieties, spacing them well (nothing too overpacked into an area, no mildew prone things near walls/house/in corners without good air circulation, etc. There are various home remedies plus things like Neem concoctions that people spray, and this article lists some.
I have harvested my German Extra Hardy garlic already, with only 11 of 18 usable. In two of the last 4 years the harvests were less than impressive. (not sprouting at all, sprouting then failing or sprouting/rotting before harvest) The leaves this year yellowed faster than my other two types and spurred me on to action, between drenching downpours from 2 weeks of almost daily thunderstorms. Hmmmmm, that's probably a factor. For my area, varieties called Music and German Porcelain seem to be more reliable in terms of percentage of success. I believe I will concentrate on those two next year. I made 3 batches of Garlic Scape Pesto (thank goodness for a food processor), each one slightly different, and all were STRONG and delicious. Lots in the freezer to bring a taste of summer when the snow swirls. Going outside to pull more weeds NOW.
I battled powdery mildew in my former Long Island, NY grape vineyard for many years. The most satisfying remedies were the sulfur and copper sprays. They're organic, safe, and the sulfur was also biodegradable.
Cathy : cut your roses back – with all of the rain- I've gotton 3 flushes with my roses- then they go through a pretty ugly stage. Cut your shrub back & fertilize every 2 weeks. They will make a remarkable comeback.
My winter squash seeds are only germinating now! I didn't see anything in your post about a later crop of squash. Wondering if its too late and I should pull them up and plant something else in my midcoast Maine garden.
I used to have a serious powdery mildew problem with phlox but have found a highly effective and inexpensive solution: crush two 325 mg. aspirin in a quart of water as a foliar spray. This is most effective if you spray once a week from the first signs of growth-my phlox have no powdery mildew this year despite the horrible heat and humidity in CT. Thanks for the mention of the May Sarton book, Margaret. I have to read it. I also have a tuxedo cat named Bella who shares Jack's love of hunting critters, pots as lounge chairs and running the household.
My hemlock have woolly adelgid. Margaret what would you suggest I do to get rid of it?
In regard to using vinegar to treat weeds on the driveway or patios, I use pickling vinegar which has 10% acidity. It is very successful. Regular vinegar has 5% acidity and is not as effective. I have also used boiled water.
Hi, Kris. Sorry to hear about the adelgid. They are tough to control unless you are super-vigilant and get them early and can be damaging/deadly. Often horticultural oil is used to suffocate them (dormant and also summer spray — but you must coat ALL plant parts, no mean feat on a tree-sized specimen). There are also chemical controls. Information on that, and some frequently asked Qs and As — including the tip NOT to fertilize and so on.

Q: mysql multiple table/multiple schema performance A quick bit of background - We have a table "orders" which has about 10k records written into it per day. This is the most queried table in the database. To keep the table small we plan to move the records written into it a week or so ago into a different table. This will be done by an automated job. While we understand it would make sense to pop the history off to a separate server we currently just have a single DB server.
The orders table is in databaseA. Following are the approaches we are considering:

*

*Create a new schema databaseB and create an orders table that contains the history?

*Create a table ordershistory in databaseA.

It would be great if we could get pointers as to which design would give a better performance?
EDIT:
Better performance for

*

*Querying the current orders - since its not weighed down by the past data

*Querying the history

A: You could either:

*

*Have a separate archival table, possibly in other database. This can potentially compilcate querying.

*Use partitioning.

I'm not sure how effective the MySQL partitioning is. For alternatives, you may take a look at   PostgreSQL partitioning. Most commercial databases support it too.

A: I take it from your question that you only want to deal with current orders.
In the past, have used 3 tables on busy sites
new orders,
processing orders,
filled orders,
and a main orders table
orders
All these tables have a relation to the orders table and a primary key.
eg new_orders_id, orders_id
processing_orders_id, orders_id ....
using a left join to find new and processing orders should be relatively efficient

Hello Doc, there is no evidence that Christians or Jews were involved or contributed to the sport of cockfighting in India (including present day Pakistan and Bangladesh). As said cockfighting was a tradition practiced in India (Pakistan & Bangladesh) for pleasure and religious rituals. It was not necessary the sport of the Indian royals. Was it the favorite sport of the Nawabs (Muslim rulers) in India ? We cant say as the information in Western gamefowl literature only reports about cockfighting at Islamic Nawab (local Muslim rulers) courts. Favorite pastimes of Indian Muslim Nawabs were: hunting, falconery and a very big sport was pigeon flying. There is no proof that cockfighting was a common pastime at the courts of Muslim Nawabs. I doubt that the Muslims took it to a higher level. Here an interesting example from an Indian friend, Mr.Mullapudi Narendranath from Hyderabad, the capital of the Andhra Pradesh state in the south of India. He told me that in the old days it was a custom for Indian Maharajas (from the south) to hand out Asil to their local farmers to raise, test and train them. At the Sankranti festival all these birds were presented for fighting in front of the Maharaja. The very best were taken by the Maharaja to breed from these birds ! Doc, the biggest problem is the absence of documents from Muslim and Hindu sources. What exists are actually only "fragments" collected by less then a handful (Western) sources ! Just my view.
guys thumbs up great, great information and analysis.
Hello Doc and AC Friends, found some documentation about life at the Court of Nawabs. Interesting stuff (sorry for the bad quality of the text). PS these guys were also thrilled by (weird) animals fights: elephants, tigers, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes and....antelopes !!! And to top it fights between different species.
Excellent Willem. My reference to 'Christians and Jews' should have been related to ancient Persia instead of India: sorry about that.
I do find it interesting that the birds that left India/Pakistan before the coming of the British were not Asil as we do not really see them either East or West until the colonization.
Friends: In Code de Manu write about 1.000 years A. C. have rule about cockfighting and otrer animals.
The Dharmasastra Manu are Sanskrit texts and refer to the sastra or Indic branch of learning, pertaining to Hindu dharma, religious and legal duty. It is unknown when it was written but apparently somewhere between 600 to 100 years BC (source Wikipedia).
Forgot to mention that the details in the text about cockfighting at the Nawabs court clearly point to nakedheel heel fighting. Not the Dora Dirza tapeboxing style. By the way Dora Dirza means layers of cloth: Dora = layer and Dirza = cloth.
Hello Dave, it was hard job to read all the chapters but I had to know. It is unclear to me why Herbert Atkinson mentioned this in his notebooks. I am sure it was "from hear say". And the word Asil is not mentioned at all as the word Asil is of Persian-Arabic origin and only could have come into play onwards 1100 years AC ! Regards Willem PS thanks for the link, always useful.
Of course at the time of this invasion in 1100 AD, two scenarios are possible. Either an Oriental fighting bird was all ready present and in use, but then renamed the Asil or some time later the Asil was developed from imported Oriental stock. There also is a third possibility that the Asil was developed from Bankiva's but the more I learn about Orientals the hard it is for me to accept this theory.
Hello Bullgod, I agree with your third theory. In my view Malayoid type of fowl like the Asil must have had a different ancestor. If you see the build I think they must have been related in some way to the familiy of the Ratites (large flightless birds). It is very well possible that the Asil was existing beside Bankiva-type birds. Another theory is that these birds were introduced by the Aryans who migrated from Central Asia via Persia (Iran) to the north of India. It supports Doc Everett's idea of a link with ancient Persia.
Paleontologist Jack Horner in 2003 unearthed a Tyrannosaurus rex that lived 68 million years ago in Montana and recovered a still-elastic blood vessel from inside a fractured thigh bone fossil. Recent phylogenetic analyses of this isolated tissue by a team of scientists reveals that the closest living relative of T. rex is none other than the domestic chicken. Of seven decoded amino acid sequences from the collagen molecules, three matched chicken uniquely. Another matched frog uniquely, one matched newt uniquely, and a few matched multiple sequences.
Hello Willem, I guess you meant you disagree with the theory that Orientals came directly from Bankiva red jungle fowl.
The problem with the idea that the asil(oriental) came with the Aryan or with the Persians or from anywhere in the middle east is this. All ancient art depicts the Bankiva as the gamefowl from that region. No Asil paintings or carvings. Even Aristotle mentions the Persian bird that came to Greece (then the rest of Europe). That bird was the Bankiva.
Interestingly Finsterbusch in his Cockfighting all over the World (1929), the chapter Origin of Gamefowl mentions in relation to the large gamefowl of southern India mentions the difference in size and shape of the birds in the south of Persia compared to the small Bankiva birds of North Persia.
1) that Malayoid fowl originate from another common ancestor then the Bankiva fowl. This is based on new scientific evidence based on DNA research which speaks of multiple origins of the chicken. The general appearance of Malayoid fowl to me has more similarity with the prehistoric and present day flightless birds then with the Bankiva jungle fowl. PS Temminck (1778 - 1858), a Dutch scientist was send some very big foot bones from the isle of Java (present day Indonesia) which he identified coming from a chicken. He created the theory of Gallus Giganteus.
I still have a problem believing Asils come from central Asia or anywhere middle-east because of the same reason, no art depicting Malay type fowl, only Bankiva. How could the Aryan keep the Asil so isolated that Persia didn't acquire them through trade? Remember the Aryans invaded India in 1700 BC but as late as 500 BC the Persians still had Bankiva. So for 1200 years no Asil made it into Persian? Hard to believe, but art and history tell us the Persians only had Bankiva. Which shows there was no Oriental influence because had there been Oriental fowl they would have taken over in naked heel fighting as they eventually have in modern times.
This one is mind boggling but incredible interesting !
It is important to remember (as it concerns Art) that Moslems (and Jews) tended to be iconoclastic as well as some groups of Christians. Thus, the survival of ancient images (particularly of animals) did not fare so well in certain areas.
What has survived may not be a good representation of what existed. Further, the artist themselves did not always depict reality, but instead their conception of reality.
I have traveled widely in the area depicted on Willem's map and excepting Christian Saints in Orthodox Churches art that exist is almost exclusively geometric reflecting the Islamic culture. Armenia and Georgia are the exceptions and that reflects their Christian tradition instead of an Islamic tradition.
Quite right Doc, dont you think too that it is an interesting fact that in Western Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia 90% of the gamefowl are Malayoids and that virtually no ancient images exist in these areas ? Also none present in Buddhist, Hindu or non-Islamic areas Asia !
Well im not going back 1000 of years but from present day -700 years back we SE asian have been fighting birds. It is the 2nd most popular sport in thailand next to Muay Thai. The thai bird so to speak have even save thailand from the burmese attack in folk lore. But you get the picture it is revered and will never be ban because it is more then a hobby it is culture and heritage. Even the founding fathers of the USA fought chickens or gamecock which almost became the national bird if it wasn't for the damn Bald Eagle.

June 17, 2019 Cristina StarAspects: Service
Important Statement from the Director of TRU Education
Thank you once again for your participation in our unique courses and programs. TRU is a small organization with formal values, mission, and code of ethics designed to serve our cherished community. "Teachers who live what they teach" is the foundation of this organization. Creating a safe, effective, inspiring learning and work environment is my personal primary directive. It is for this reason I am writing to explain why TRU has undergone some dramatic changes and how we are responding to support the community.
After 7 years of co-creating experiential courses, in February 2018 I terminated my work affiliation with Christopher D. Wallis, aka "Hareesh." Through considerable effort and numerous discussions, I determined it was no longer possible to ensure this instructor would provide students with the safe high-integrity instruction, nor his colleagues the healthy low-stress work environment that our organization's reputation is built upon. It was my opinion that his behavior was no longer in alignment with TRU's clearly defined values.
I will not be sharing the specifics of his behavior here, reporting publicly on his conduct is not the goal of this statement. I aim to formalize this separation and offer support to the community in alignment with those same values.
TRU was a vision born in support of my work with Wallis, to expand beyond it with other teachers, and eventually transcend the fallible charm of any individual teacher, to cultivating trust in an institution with integrity, accountability, and vibrant community. I stand by the work that I did with Wallis and acknowledge his talents as a scholar, author, and orator. I witnessed benefit to hundreds of people over the years. Yet, given what has transpired, I can no longer recommend his teaching beyond the academic field in which he is lettered, nor his professional practices.
At the time of the termination, it seemed the ideal scenario was a clean and quiet split. TRU's public prestige and my personal work was entwined with his accomplishments. Wallis is a charismatic public figure, we share community, and it was my hope we could thrive while maintaining distant yet professional association.
Many of you noticed in April 2018 I cancelled all TRU courses and went quiet without explanation. This was due to personal exhaustion from overworking and overcompensating for Wallis's lack of integrity while being the recipient of pronounced hostility from him. I suffered serious health issues, including 3 emergency hospital visits, and was not able to fulfill my duties as a leader in the organization. I always intended to return, but it took much longer to recover than anticipated.
For all these reasons, I maintained silence regarding the grounds for Wallis's dismissal and my personal grievances. I held off on filing a legal suit and truly hoped for the best. Yet what has transpired in the year and a half since this separation lands more in the category of worst case scenario. As disturbing allegations have arisen from a significant number of Wallis' students and colleagues, it has recently come to light that he has perpetrated more ethics violations of greater magnitude than I was privy to. Even as the majority of the current allegations fall after his termination, most of the people affected were introduced to Wallis in conjunction with TRU affiliation.
Looking back, it is evident I made an error by avoiding immediate public disclosure of the fact of Wallis's violations of TRU's code of ethics. I now realize the violations I witnessed were symptoms of additional harmful behavior that was hidden from me.
I want to acknowledge the healing power of transparency and its role in accountability. Those individuals who have recently come forward with statements have courageously paved the path for others to validate the truth of their own observations and experiences and begin to heal, and I believe that is immensely honorable.
In light of our high ethical standards, I feel that TRU must avoid any endorsement of his choices and conduct by continued silence, ongoing association, or past affiliation.
There are many people who have taken TRU courses with Wallis in the past who are now struggling to separate the teachings from the teacher, questioning the fruit of practices given by a problematic practitioner, doubting the value of their education from Wallis, and fearing a loss of community if they no longer want to be affiliated with him.
After significant contemplation, interviews with dozens of students, mutual colleagues, TRU faculty, and professionals external to the situation, I am now taking what I feel is responsible action in alignment with our values to stop the harm and help the recovery.
To rectify my error of silence and facilitate community healing, I am utilizing the capacities of TRU's platform to create and gift an intentional safe space for group support, productive discourse, and helpful resourcing so that we can continue to learn and grow through this, together. I invite you to join the free forum, receive support and guidance, lend your voice, and share your perspective. I have gathered some pertinent resources and offer them to anyone affected by Wallis' behavior. I am taking steps to educate myself and inform this organization on the factors leading to these circumstances so that they may be avoided in the future wherever possible.
Please understand that personally, I have been close friends with Wallis for 15 years, devoted considerable energy to supporting his work, and feel some responsibility for his success and the trust students have extended to him. I sincerely hope that he can learn from the current events, and thrive doing beneficial academic work in the future, putting the "spiritual teacher" role down. I am deeply disappointed in his conduct, appalled by the harm he has caused, and wish to help potential students who may be attracted to his fame make informed choices.
The steps leading up to this statement have been profoundly heartbreaking and this action is done with utmost intentionality in dedication to my personal values and TRU's codes of integrity, dignity, transparency, and service.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity once again serve this community. With great compassion for everyone negatively affected,
Cristina Star
Founder & Director of TRU Education

Check This Out: Let Me In / Let the Right One In Comparisons
Source: UGO
The very first trailer for Matt Reeves' Let Me In arrived earlier this week to quite a positive response, which was surprising considering most were ready to dislike it. If you didn't know, Let Me In is a remake of Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In (or technically a re-adaptation of John Lindqvist's novel that was based on) - a fantastic Swedish film that anyone who has seen has fallen in love with. Our friends at UGO put together a comparison piece with examples from both movies showing the same scenes. It's pretty cool to see and I've chosen a few of my favorites, but they have a lot more on their site (and so does io9). See the photos below!
A bullied young boy (Smit-McPhee) befriends a young vampire girl (Moretz) who lives with her guardian.
Let Me In is both written and directed by American filmmaker Matt Reeves, who's feature directorial debut was J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield but prior to that he directed episodes of "Felicity" and various other TV shows. This is a remake of Tomas Alfredson's 2008 film Let the Right One In, or more specifically a re-adaptation of the Swedish novel Låt den rätte komma in written by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Overture Films is bringing Let Me In to theaters everywhere starting October 1st this fall. Does it look as good as you were hoping?

Having read the book and watched the original film, this trailer does seem to go? along way in capturing the feel and mood, and I guess moving the premise to 80's America can only serve to attract a broader appeal. Hope it delivers.
PinkSushit on Jul 4, 2010
Let the right one in was just made 2 years ago. I don't understand why American film makers feel the need to redo a movie that was just made. I thought the film was amazing. This movie will probably get more recognition than Let the Right One In and that's kind of sad. Its like Brothers. Not many people knew it was a remake. Most people don't like to read subtitles when they watch a movie so maybe thats why these movies get redone.
Shannon on Jul 4, 2010
I'd seen 'Let the Right one in" A few months ago and just today my sister decided to watch 'Let me In' and within the first five minutes I was like...I've seen this before, and I looked up the two movies in comparison and found this article...then I was kind of bored for most of the film because I knew what would happen. It's strange why they made the remake, it wasn't very original and I don't know if it was just because they were both well based off the book or if the scenes actually looked alike. I think I was more surprised by Let the Right One in because they reveal the fact that she'd a vampire later in the film. Still, they were both really good films and for my families first time with the story they enjoyed it. It's too bad that the remake was made so soon after the original foreign film.
Corinne Elizabeth Salone on Aug 14, 2011
Both of the boys are butt ugly.
Daniel Felts on Jul 4, 2010
good visuals; shit audio.
crumb on Jul 4, 2010
Nice comparison. @Shannon They are making an American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and it just came out on DVD/Blu-ray this Tuesday. This is not uncommon. @Daniel Felts Who cares what the children in the film look like.
ProMovieBlogger on Jul 4, 2010
@#5: Daniel Felts is bitterly disappointed because the boys don't arouse him.
Felt Daniels on Jul 4, 2010
I'm not against remakes, but if there were less remakes there would be more original movies; moviegoers need to start supporting original ideas!
Lincoln on Jul 4, 2010
@5 I know this is a common thing. It just seems to be happening more and more.
Thers money to be made with an english audio version. Sure they could put out the original, but you know us Americans, trying to watch the movie and read at the same time gives us sore heads.
Seinfeld on Jul 4, 2010
Well the original swedish one looks waay better it's even out of the question. American remake is done just for money and director's vanity. While the Swedish one creeps me out every time I see it, the American just seems like a regular horror movie, nothing special at all.
lolsaur on Jul 4, 2010
i don't care about this anymore
DoomCanoe on Jul 4, 2010
what's next, a remake of oldboy.......... Oh wait, speilberg almost made a remake of that with will smith........ LOL
jack romtin on Jul 4, 2010
I'm gonna see it, and hate me if you will...but the American photo's look a little better than the original adaptation photo's. I look at this as a different take on the story, the Swedish have their version, this will be ours.
Xerxex on Jul 4, 2010
I'm happy they do this. Now you have twice the fun !!!
Ellelena on Jul 4, 2010
the flip-every-shot school of remakes. wonderful.
carcadero on Jul 4, 2010
I agree with #15....and i like the fact that the remake will have the vampire be a actual girl and not a tranny like the Swed version...that was just weird!!! NUFF SAID
Cornboy on Jul 4, 2010
I think it should be ok, definetly enjoyable, both will have it's own feeling. The original had a very minimal feel to it with contrasts if violence, something the swedes and the colder parts of the world know how to recreate, while the American version will bring something new to the story, and the fantastic cast can only help but achieve that. We should all look on the positives this film will definetly gain slot of attention outside our circles, it may just promote the original film to people who can't stand subtitles and could also allow a kick in the guts for Hollywood when it comes to vampires and realize they no longer need to aim for the lowest common denominater to create a film which makes money. I think we should stay positive and continue to promote thus film and the original. Attempt to spread some culture back into Hollywood.
LP on Jul 4, 2010
@16 you know Eli is not a girl ...moron
none134 on Jul 4, 2010
correction i agree with # 13.......#15's an idiot
So they've basically taken the original, flipped the shots and orange n' tealed everything.
Lava on Jul 5, 2010
I hope that they haven't diluted Let Me In from the Original film Let the Right One in there is a lot of similarities in the look of Let Me In.
Cineprog on Jul 5, 2010
#18 .. i just said Eli wasnt a girl by saying tranny....you dumb shit
Ugh, why must they make a watered-down American version of every decent international film that gets released? Between this and "Dinner for Schmucks" coming out, it's like Hollywood just doesn't care anymore.
Ragweed on Jul 5, 2010
Ragweed, accept it and move on. Its a fact that Hollyweird is ran by people who are completely disconnected from the rest of the American population. But I'm for this re-adpatation of the novel...that's what I call it anyways.
All I am saying is, he says he isn't doing a remake of the swedish one, so somehow this one better have some different scenes that wasn't in the first one, cause right now, it looks like a straight remake.
M on Jul 5, 2010
Cornboy, obviously has not read the book. Eli should not be a girl, if the American version is based more from the book and not the Swedish movie, then they are messing it up. Chloe Moretz should look more androgynous and not quite so girly, but she is a great actress, so I will probably end up watching this. But I doubt I will see it in the theater.
conner666 on Jul 5, 2010
@25 My thoughts exactly! That's the thing that has me scratching my head. If this already looks to be a shot for shot remake, then why make it at all? Oh that's right because American audiences have a problem with subtitles:P One bit of marketing I like so far is the Morse code at the end of the trailer. I wonder if they'll have that cute little "train sequence" in this film.
Marc on Jul 6, 2010


two christmas cards just going to print. The cards show two epic journeys undertaken in order to get a precious , if slightly underwhelming gift of a twig or a rock. these will be on sale at some christmas sales soon. more details to come.
been thinking about print more and more which is causing my drawings to be produced with even less refinement, with a lack of weight or importance to them. i can see the mistakes or how i could redraw, add, develop but for now im happy to actually avoid that and let them not be over worked.

Q: spring boot filter don't return right response I'm developing a spring boot app and I'm following this reply,
it all works fine despite some adaptations required to make it work on spring boot but the problem is when I call:

it returns "404 Not Found" instead of "401 Unauthorized", the method is called, it catches the exception but it return the wrong status.

A: I assume that you are using the Jersey API to build your RESTful interface. The 404 you are receiving relates to (I think) the @Path (Jersey) or @RequestMapping (spring).
If you post more code relating to the path of your API, then we can help further.
Thank you.
If you look to the top level path @Path("/"). You're adding another forward-slash so the uri will end up looking like:
http://localhost.com//hello
http://localhost.com//world
To fix this remove the forward-slash from the methods @Path annotation, and rebuild. This should result in API endpoints which look like
http://localhost.com/hello
http://localhost.com/world

"Alexa, tell Starbucks it's coffee time"
By Diana Brandl on	 March 25, 2019 Technology
Diana Brandl takes a look at the world of digital assistants
Do you know Alexa?
Alexa is Amazon's digital assistant, one of the new breeds of smart speaker – a voice-controlled, internet-based, intelligent personal assistant. Amazon recently reported that over 100 million Alexa devices have been sold since first released. Alexa's capabilities mimic those of other intelligent assistants such as Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Cortana, Google's Assistant and Samsung's Bixby. And the newest addition to the Google family: Duplex.
How does a smart speaker work?
A smart speaker is designed to first process a voice internally in standby mode and wait for a signal word. Using the signal word or pressing the action button on top of the device initiates voice control. The device then digitally transmits the words spoken in the room to the manufacturer via the internet, where an attempt is made to implement the commands. Locally, the device is connected to the internet via a WiFi network or Bluetooth.
For example, Alexa can be activated by first saying the signal word (either "Alexa" by default or "Echo," "Amazon" or "Computer," based on your preferences), followed by your query or request. Beyond its built-in capabilities, Alexa offers more than 3,000 "skills" from Amazon and third-party developers that users can add to extend Alexa's functionality.
So, instead of pretending that you will remember to prepare your coffee maker the night before, you can just tell Alexa to place your favourite Starbucks order as you head out the door in the morning – because Starbucks offers a skill for Alexa which allows you to do just that.
And I confess that I am more than excited about the other things that this gadget can do: – research, weather forecasts, placing orders, playing music, reading stories and recipes, preparing shopping lists and much more. Alexa can also function as smart home hub – a device that that can control the Internet of Things – connected devices like smart lights, thermostats, speakers, smart wall clocks – and even a microwave oven!
But how does this relate to the office environment, the territory of the management assistant?
I would like to introduce you to Alexa for Business. Admittedly, this kind of Alexa is much more widespread in the USA than it is in Europe, because Europe has been struggling with a new data protection law since the end of May 2018 which makes it harder to work with such devices. However, I have met assistants in my seminars in Germany who already work successfully with Alexa in their "smart office" environment. So, let's take a look.
How does Alexa for Business work?
Companies can provide shared Alexa devices for anyone to use in common areas – such as meeting rooms – as well as personal Alexa devices for employees to use at their desk. Tools are provided to manage multiple Alexa devices, enrol users, and assign skills.
You can also build smart custom skills and make them available as private skills for your organization. For example, finding open meeting rooms, ordering new supplies, reporting building problems, or notifying IT of equipment issues. Or you can build skills that enable you to manage calendars, make calls, track to-do lists, and find information such as the latest sales data or inventory levels.
Personal Alexa Devices
If an employee already has an Alexa at home, their personal Amazon account can be enrolled along with their Alexa for Business account. This means any Alexa skills on the personal account can be used alongside the skills enabled on the Alexa for Business account – on any of the devices, at work or at home.
Shared Alexa Devices
In meeting rooms, skills can be used to start meetings and control equipment settings. Alexa can perform specific tasks such as dimming the lights or lowering the blinds – all accessed by using your voice.
Embracing Technology and Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace
There are a lot of tasks that are currently in the job description of assistants that can be handled using Alexa. But let's be honest with ourselves. Ordering office supplies? Reporting IT issues? These sound like tasks that most assistants would like to delegate.
Let's welcome technology to our workplace and have it take over our standard and routine tasks, giving more room for development and growth towards the role modern management assistants are striving for – to become a true business partner.

Nov 26 2018 Excellent service!
Oct 30 2017 Nicole was great throughout my probate case which she handled for me. She was very straight to the point and always very responsive whenever I had any questions. She made a very stressful process less intimidating and help me navigate the case to a successful outcome in my favor. I would recommend Nicole to anyone needing a solid probate attorney, she is great!
Oct 29 2017 Always does a great job!!
Sep 06 2017 Nicole and her team are both professional and caring. I could not have had better experience and have referred multiple friends that need legal counsel. I feel blessed to have had Nicole on my side.
Aug 24 2017 Nicole was an outstanding attorney. She always delivered on her promises. I would recommend her services.
Aug 16 2016 I heard about this practice from my co-worker who met Attorney Reeves Lavallee at BNI. Look no further for your real estate, estate planning, or family law needs!
Jan 14 2016 I used Reeves Lavallee, PC as a buyer's attorney for the purchase of my first home. Nicole and her staff went above and beyond to fight for my best interest in an extremely difficult transaction. I cannot thank them enough!
Mar 22 2015 Nicole is the only person I want representing me when it counts! She is tough and gets it done. She handles real estate and was able to speed along negotiations for my sale where the buyers lawyer was slacking. Family members have also used Nicole for her court representation in custody and visitation issues. She was phenomenal in overturning a ruling that a previous lawyer was not able to prevent. If you want someone you can trust to work hard for YOU and give you honest legal advice, Nicole is the best.

The Sri Vishnu Thurkkai Amman Temple is a Hindu temple located in the municipality of Dürnten in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

History
In the 1990s, an interreligious society was established in the canton of Zürich to support the foundation of a centre for spiritual and cultural care of Tamil people in Switzerland, as well as to preserve and maintain the Tamil culture of the approximatively 35,000 (around 20,000 in the canton of Zürich) Tamil people of Sri Lankan origin living in Switzerland. So, the Sri Sivasubramaniar Temple in Adliswil was founded imas a non-profit foundation in 1994. While some 5,000 Indian Hindus in Switzerland founded their own cultural associations, but not a temple, the Tamil Hindus opened 19 houses of worship since the 1990s. Because the premises in Adliwil have become too small, the community decided also to move to Dürnten.

The opening ceremony was set on 27 January 2010, although the granting of the canton of Zurich for the opening was not given yet. The temple's priest Kurukkal told in an interview, according to the Hindu horoscope, the temple had to been opened in January. Because the building is located at a cantonal road, there is even needed the granting of the canton, thus to the municipal permission was given, but therefore the municipality could not formerly grant the approval for the construction. The municipal council of Dürnten supported the plans for the temple. To express his goodwill to the Tamil community, in November 2009 the municipal president participated of the ritual worship, which took place in the context of the laying of the foundation stone. Initiated was the construction by the Sri Vishnuthurkkai Amman community by Swiss Tamil citizens. In addition to several local craftsmen, eight men from South India have collaborated to build the temple.

Temple's building
The temple is located in a pre-existing warehouse, with floor heating, new sewer lines and a new kitchen subsequently installed. The main altar is located in the middle of the biggest room. Several lions, the mounts of the Hindu Goddess Durga, enthrone on the dome above the decorated portal, as well as the deities and the other colorful altars with their small turrets, which were built on the walls of the room – they all were shipped from India. The Temple is located at Ediker Strasse 24, 8635 Dürnten.

Cultural and religious life
To move from the Sihl Valley to Dürnten was perfect – among other things, the building is furthermore located in a valley and on a stream, as for the temple festival the flowing water is of particular importance.

Every Friday evening between 100 and 150 people attend the Pooja, and on other weekdays 10 to 20 attend. Six services per day are held. Usually in July a ten-day temple festival, dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Durga, is celebrated, having about 4,000 visitors.

Q: Generic type definitions in angular components with parent/child relations I am trying to create a component like this:
<dropdown formControlName="car">
  <dropdown-option value="volvo"></dropdown-option>
  <dropdown-option value="bmw"></dropdown-option>
  <dropdown-option value="peugeot"></dropdown-option>
  <!-- etc -->
</dropdown>

My definition for the dropdown component is as follows:
export component DropdownComponent<T> {
  possibilities: Array<T>
}

My definition for dropdown option component is as follows:
export component DropdownOptionComponent<T> {
  @Input() value: T
}

Is it possible that my DropdownOptionComponent can infer generic type T of DropdownComponent and restrict the available options for DropdownOptionComponent to whatever satisfies the generic T?
Edit: To further clarify what I want to have resolved, I want my template to be smart enough to see that given the parent definition, in my template, it will check if it is valid.
Edit 2: Better example:
// mycomponent.component.ts
export class MyComponent {
  data: Array<{param1: number, param2: string}>;
}

<!-- mycomponent.component.html -->
<table [dataSource]="data">
  <table-entry *myTemplateDirective="let entry">
    <!-- do something with entry -->
  </table-entry>
</table>

Is it possible to get entry typed based on the input of data in the table component.
Edit 3: Typo in code example

A: Even though you declare your child component has a generic type when you are passing value from parent component to child component you by default get the exact type which was used in the parent component itself. you don't need to do explicitly again.
If you look at the below example the moment you declared the value of the property with a boolean value. Typescript will able to tell what type that property is associated with, in a similar fashion it will work for your use case as well

Q: What is use of Parent object instantiating with child class Please tell me what is of parent object instantiating with child class like:
 public class A
    {
        public A()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("A");
        }
        public virtual void method()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("AM");
        }

    }
    public class B : A
    {
        public B()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("B");

        }
        public new void method()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("BM");

        }
        public void method1()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("BM1");
        }
    }

 class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            A obj = new B();// what is use of it?
            obj.method();
            Console.Read();
        }
        private void methodP1()
        {

        }
    }

please tell me what is use of
Parent obj = new Child();
as i we can only call to only public methods of parent class which is possible using
Parent obj = new Parent();
is it possible: Child obj = new Parent() ?

A:
please tell me what is use of Parent
  obj = new Child(); as i we can only
  call to only public methods of parent
  class which is possible using Parent
  obj = new Parent();

This is the basis for polymorphism: Imagine you have several child classes that inherit from you parent class. You want to use all these child classes through the interface / methods defined on your parent class, without worrying about the implementation details in each child class (each might do something different, but with the same overall semantics).
This is possible because the child class has a IS A relationship with its parent class since child inherits from parent.

A: In your example, B is-a A, but A is-not-a B.
The above is of use when the code using the reference to B can only understand (or needs to understand) types of A. B is a specialisation of A. Imagine something like (pseudo-code)
Shape s;
if (x == 1) {
  s = new Square();
}
else {
  s = new Triangle();
}
// following code knows only about Shapes
s.draw();
s.calculateArea();

The following code doesn't need to know if s is a square or a triangle, just that it's a shape. What use is that ? If you call s.draw(), the shape itself determines how it's going to look. The code calling it doesn't know or care.
This is a key point of object-oriented programming. Asking objects to do things for you rather than determine yourself what's needed.
Note that your final question doesn't intuitively make sense when using this example.

Shape s = new Square();  // fine

vs

Square s = new Shape();  // can you instantiate a "shape" and why then do you decide it's a square?

A: BrokenGlass's answer is correct. However, your sample will have different behaviour depending upon whether you declare obj as type A or B.
In the case of A obj = new B(); the program will output A B AM because the compiler is linking to the virtual method A.method, which class B then inherits.
In the case of B obj = new B(); the program outputs A B BM because the compiler is directed to use the new method B.method().
If B.method() was instead declared as public override void method(), then the output would always be A B BM regardless of whether obj was declared as type A or type B.
Thus your example does not show polymorphism in the classic sense, as the method called on instances of type B depends on the type of the variable to which the instance is assigned. This can make debugging fun and interesting.

A: The reason that you would use polymorphism is so that you can pass a more specific object to an entity that only requires a more general object. The entity that receives the object only cares about the public interface that is exposed, not the details of how the methods in that interface are carried out. Here's a simple class hierarchy:
public class Animal
{
    public virtual string GetFood()
    {
        return "Food";
    }
}

public class Monkey : Animal
{
    public override string GetFood()
    {
        return "Bananas";
    }
}

public class Cow : Animal
{
    public override string GetFood()
    {
        return "Grass";
    }
}

And here's how you could use the polymorphism:
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Animal[] animalArray = { new Monkey(), new Cow() };
        foreach (Animal a in animalArray) {
            WhatDoIEat(a); // Prints "Bananas", then "Grass"
        }
    }

    static void WhatDoIEat(Animal a)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(a.GetFood());
    }
}

A: If you have to use only the methods on the parent class, you can go ahead and instantiate it. The object of a child class is to add functionality to the parent class while keeping the parent intact. Instantiating the parent through the child without further use of the child functionality does not make sense.

A: There's no use in simple examples like yours, where the scope of usage for the variable is limited. But it's important to understand that in .NET variables has types that are static, known at compile time and even if obj keeps a reference to Child class, it is still typed as Parent.
And when you have method that requires Parent, you can pass obj (with type Child) to it (and it still behaves like Child) - this is an example of Child being referred by Parent type.
Child obj = new Parent() is not possible, Parent is not a Child, compiler wouldn't let you assign object to variable of incompatible type.

A: Say you have a parent class called Animal and child classes called Dog, Cat, and Lizard. Each class has a method call makeSound(). Then when you say Animal a1 = new Dog(); and Animal a2 = new Cat(), a1.makeSound() will bark and a2.makeSound() will meow.
The technical term for this behavior is called polymorphism. It is useful for code reuse. You only need to write code once for an application that has Animals makeSound() when they are happy, instead of separate code for each animal type.
Another use of polymorphism is hiding your code's implementation from other users. For example you can show other users that you are using a List and then you have the choice to implement the List as a LinkedList or as an ArrayList. You can also choose a LinkedList and then at a later time switch to an ArrayList without effecting your users.
You also can't say Dog d = new Animal() because a Dog is an Animal but an Animal is not necessarily a Dog.

A: When You Know Common features about a Class which inherits from and when you dont know the exact child you can put the data on Parent class, whenever you knew about the child class you can assign those values on it.

Chris Conley Emphasizes the Importance of Character to Local Kids Via Virtual Uplink
Conley spoke with several local schools as part of the NFL's Character Playbook LIVE program on Monday When it comes to virtual life coaching, Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver Chris Conley and Cheerleader LaKeyna have it covered.
The duo spoke with nearly 400 kids at six local schools via virtual uplink on Monday as part of the NFL's Character Playbook LIVE initiative, which strives to equip young people with the tools they need to establish healthy relationships.
It marked the second time that Conley and LaKeyna found themselves in classrooms throughout Kansas City, as the pair teamed up for a similar endeavor last September.
"I think that our society has so many different pressures that fall upon our youth, and it starts at a very young age," LaKeyna said.
"The more that we can get out in front of it and teach them how to be the best person that they can be – that's something that I definitely want to be a part of." "As things change, we can't do anything about how technology and social media advance, but we can control how we deal with people in the world," Conley said.
"If we continue to approach it the way we used to – loving our neighbors – and we do that through these new platforms, then things will be alright.
That's what we're trying to convey to these kids, because they're encountering these things at such a young age." The league-wide Character Playbook LIVE initiative, which is presented in partnership with United Way, takes advantage of that technology to engage kids in the conversation of why character matters.
Conley and LaKeyna's efforts on Monday brought that conversation to hundreds of kids that may not have heard it otherwise.
"I can remember when I was sitting in that seat listening to somebody I looked up to before I knew what I was going to do in the world," Conley said.
"I think it's important to give back and to let these people know that we're human and have experiences just like anybody else, we just have a job that's a little bit different on the weekends." To learn more about the Character Playbook program, visit its website.

South Waveney medical centre could open
Published: 8:00 AM January 22, 2010 Updated: 7:22 PM October 10, 2020
LONG-HELD hopes of a modern medical centre to serve thousands of people from across south Waveney look set to finally get off the ground this spring.Proposals to build a one-stop-shop for healthcare in Reydon have been in the pipeline for several years and now it is hoped that the scheme will be given the final rubber stamp by the NHS in March.
LONG-HELD hopes of a modern medical centre to serve thousands of people from across south Waveney look set to finally get off the ground this spring.
Proposals to build a one-stop-shop for healthcare in Reydon have been in the pipeline for several years and now it is hoped that the scheme will be given the final rubber stamp by the NHS in March.
The South Waveney Healthy Living Centre would take in services from Southwold hospital, the town's York Road surgery and offer a range of medical care for people from across the area, including Halesworth, Wangford, Wrentham and Blythburgh.
A site on the Eversley playing field on Wangford Road in Reydon has already been chosen for the �9m project, which will revolutionise healthcare in the area.
It is hoped that the new centre will eventually be home to a GPs surgery, a dental surgery and a community pharmacy. It is also planned to offer a base for district nurses, facilities for physiotherapy and occupational therapy and acute NHS community beds.
Andy Peck, head of estates and risk for NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney, said: "This is an exciting project for everyone living in the south Waveney area and for us at the primary care trust.
"The centre, if approved, will serve 22,000 people and will support the development of integrated health services. Including GP provision, there will be a range of community services at the centre, allowing local people to access a range of services without having to travel long distances to hospital for some treatment.
"The centre is intended to be an asset to the south Waveney area. Reydon was chosen as a preferred location, with one of the reasons being its geographical location and its ability to serve the local area."
It is also hoped that the health centre will be able to provide improved social and welfare services, including a home carers' network.
The board of NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney has already agreed the scheme in principle and now the finishing touches are being made to a full business case setting out the costs involved, which is scheduled to go before the board in March.
Formal plans for the building have been submitted to Waveney District Council and a decision is expected to be made within the next couple of months.
