Q: Laravel - How to prevent row getting deleted when there is dependent field I am a laravel beginner. In my laravel CRUD project, I have these migration table
GroupTable
class Group extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('group', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('group_code');
            $table->string('group_desc');
            $table->timestamps();
    });
}

CategoryTable
class Category extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('category', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('category_code');
            $table->string('category_desc');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

ItemTable
class Item extends Migration
{
   /**
    * Run the migrations.
    *
    * @return void
    */
     public function up()
   {
       Schema::create('item', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->bigIncrements('id');
           $table->string('item_code');
           $table->string('item_desc');
           $table->string('item_picture');
           $table->string('item_cost');
           $table->string('item_price');
           $table->string('group_desc');
           $table->string('category_desc');
           $table->timestamps();
       });

   }

The group_desc and category_desc from ItemTable are foreign key from GroupTable and CategoryTable.
GroupController
 public function destroy($id)
    {
        Group::find($id)->delete();
        return response()->json(['success'=>'Group deleted successfully.']);
    }

CategoryController
public function destroy($id)
    {
        Category::find($id)->delete();

        return response()->json(['success'=>'Category deleted successfully.']);
    }

This is the ajax delete function in my view of group
  //Delete
   $('body').on('click', '.deleteRecord', function () {

     var id = $(this).data("id");
     if(confirm("Are you sure want to delete? "))

    {
      $.ajax({
         type: "DELETE",
         url: "{{ url('group/delete') }}" + '/' + id,
         success: function (data) {
             table.draw();
         },
         error: function (data) {
             console.log('Error:', data);
         }
     });
    }
 });

Before user want to delete the row on GroupTable or CategoryTable, how to display a message shows that the row are not allow to delete if ItemTable have data from GroupTable or CategoryTable?

A: If you are using the foreign key and if it is not a 'cascade' delete, then laravel won't allow you to delete the row when If the same Id used somewhere. for example,
$table->foreign('category_id')->references('id')->on('categories')->onDelete('cascade'); //inside item table. (CASCADE delete).

$table->foreign('category_id')->references('id')->on('categories');// non-cascade

assume, If you are using cascade delete, and you are trying to delete the category which is used in the item table, this will delete the category and related item lists in item table.
If you are using non-cascade method, It won't allow you to delete the category when it is used in item table.

A: If you follow Laravel's convention, things will be a lot easier to do. Might be longer at first but it gets better
(I am assuming you are using Laravel 8)
1: Table names are usually in plural forms, so your tables should be groups, categories and items
2: Next is to properly define foreign keys for groups and categories tables in items table like this
Schema::create('item', function (Blueprint $table) {
   //...
   $table->foreignId('group_id')->constrained();
   $table->foreignId('category_id')->constrained();
   //...
});

3: Define the respective relations in the 3 models
Group Model
namespace App\Models;
class Group extends Model
{
  //...
  public function items(){
    return $this->hasMany(Item::class);
  }
  //...
}

Category model
namespace App\Models;
class Category extends Model
{
  //...
  public function items(){
    return $this->hasMany(Item::class);
  }
  //...
}

Item Model
namespace App\Models;
class Item extends Model
{
  //...
  public function category(){
    return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
  }

  public function group(){
    return $this->belongsTo(Group::class);
  }
  //...
}

All the above, while kind of long, will make your work easier later.
From here you can implement the following
GroupController
public function destroy($id)
{
    $group = Group::withCount('items')
      ->find($id);

    if($group->items_count < 1){
      $group->delete()
      return response()->json(['success'=>'Group deleted successfully.']);
    }

    return response()->json(['fail'=> 'Group has items, cannot be deleted.' ]);
}

CategoryController
public function destroy($id)
{
    $category = Category::withCount('items')
      ->find($id);

    if($category->items_count < 1){
      $category->delete()
      return response()->json(['success'=>'Category deleted successfully.']);
    }

    return response()->json(['fail'=> 'Category has items, cannot be deleted.' ]);
}

The latest batch of Young & W!ld trainees, under the tutelage of Rodney Oliveiro and Serena Ho, is almost half of the previous batch. This piqued my interest when I found out that Crossings is a double-bill as I had two assumptions. First, this is probably a deliberate choice rather than an expedient way to ensure everyone gets a chance to perform (a problem faced by most training programmes). Second, it fits the main theme as the audience will get to go down two different paths and have two different experiences due to the choices of various characters.
Alas, I am wrong about my first assumption.
In The Mother, The Son, and the Holy Ghost, YouTuber and social justice warrior (SJW), Vix (Jasmine Blundell), decides that it is her calling to prevent an elderly lady (Natalie Koh)—suffering from dementia—from being kicked out of her house by her son (Aeron Ee). This is despite the fact that said lady accidentally caused her death.
What ensues is a cross between a comedy of errors, and a supposedly poignant story of the difficulties a caregiver has. Unfortunately, any potential that this piece might have is cut short, and the convenient ending feels like an apology for delaying the entrance of the actors in the next piece.
Such an apology is an utter waste as Jasmine Blundell is annoying but endearing as Vix. Aside from her engaging performance, she deliciously plays up every antic that popular YouTubers do in their videos. Natalie Koh pairs well with Blundell as the elderly woman. Koh strikes the right balance in portraying an elderly lady without resorting to the feeble stereotypes. Together, they could be an unlikely duo going on wacky adventures.
Unfortunately, the piece is derailed by the son, Boon (Aeron Ee), who is stiff and yells in every scene. Compared to Ee's vein-popping histrionics, a pantomime dame feels Chekhovian.
Arbitrio starts off with another odd character. We encounter a Moses-like figure (Mel Bickham), seemingly at an audition, reciting Bible verses. In his desperate attempt to impress the unseen panel, he unfurls a story he has written about the twist and turns of a marriage.
This odd premise keeps the audience in anticipation for a good plot twist or revelation, but it does not materialise. While one's interest is buoyed up by a series of jokes and wordplay, the trajectory of this piece feels like riding a donkey around a roundabout. The paper-thin dialogue is filler before an opportunity to put in the next punchline arises.
Additionally, the premise of an author figure writing and changing the story is puzzling. Does it mean that the choices of the characters do not really matter? Isn't that going against the idea of the characters being at a critical crossroads in their lives?
Nothing seems to be carefully considered and promising aspects that the actors (Alison Bickham, Mel Bickham, Sharmaine Goh, Krish Natarajan) could have worked with—such as Chris (Krish Natarajan) being a bigot as he fumes about his friend coming out as gay just before his wedding—are not factored into the later scenes. Coupled with generic portrayals, and the intrusions of the author figure preventing the audience from being emotionally attached to any of the characters, Arbitrio is arbitrary.
While there is potential in this batch—and every bit of it should be encouraged—one should not let it discount the fact that this showcase is, on the whole, ho-hum.

Daniel Jay Goleman (born March 7, 1946) is an American author, psychologist, and science journalist. For twelve years, he wrote for The New York Times, specializing in psychology and brain sciences. He is the author of more than 10 books on psychology, education, science, ecological crisis, and leadership.
There are many leaders, not just one. Leadership is distributed. It resides not solely in the individual at the top, but in every person at every level who, in one way or another, acts as a leader to a group of followers — wherever in the organization that person is, whether shop steward, team head, or CEO.
IQ is a genetic given that cannot be changed by life experience, and that our destiny in life is largely fixed by these aptitudes.
In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels. These two fundamentally different ways of knowing interact to construct our mental life.
People who are emotionally adapt — who know and manage their feelings well, and who read and deal effectively with other people's feelings — are at an advantage in any domain in life, whether in romance and intimate relationships or picking up the unspoken rules that govern success in organizational politics.
There is an old-fashioned word for the body of skills that emotional intelligence represents: character.
Emotional Intelligence' refers to the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships. It describes abilities distinct from, but complementary to, academic intelligence, the purely cognitive capacities measured by IQ.
D. Goleman (1998), "IQ and technical skills are important, but emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership". Harvard business review.
Effective leaders are alike in one crucial way: They all have a high degree of what has come to be known as emotional intelligence. It's not that IQ and technical skills are irrelevant. They do matter, but mainly as "threshold capabilities"; that is, they are the entry-level requirements for executive positions. But my research, along with other recent studies, clearly shows that emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.

There has been a kind of hammer and tongs discussion at the Societies for the History of Economics (SHOE) website that began when I posted that the President of France had stated in support of a more "austerity"-oriented economic policy that, L'offre crée même la demande. Or in English, that supply actually does create demand, a principle known in English as Say's Law. Every economist is taught from the first day of macro that Say's Law is wrong and that a Keynesian stimulus is the answer to recession. Sounded better five years ago but today, who would suggest more public spending even though our economies remain as dismally placed as they are? But part of what I found so charming is that the suggestion is made that I am near enough the only economist in the world who thinks "the strong version" of Say's Law is true. How weird is that! But that, of course, doesn't mean I think I'm wrong, specially since all the evidence is so one way.
The SHOE website is filled with interesting discussion over a vast range of economic issues. You definitely do not have to be an economist either to join or to listen in on the discussion. You can register here. Meantime, this is my latest post on how I see the role of the history of economic thought.
So, my final comment will be directed very directly at Steve Kates and James Ahiakpor. Can you guys not figure out that you have totally and utterly lost this debate? Nobody here agrees with you, nobody. You have lost, period. Sure, you can get the occasional Per Berglund to sort of attempt to help you out by questioning details of the critiques of your arguments, but even those folks in the end do not come down on agreeing with your defense of a strong version of Say's Law. Deal with it, please. We have all had more than enough.
I am more than aware that so far as numbers go, we are on the wrong side of the ledger. When I began to argue in public against the stimulus back in 2009, there were attempts made by that solid mainstream to have me sacked from my university appointment. There are risks in taking such positions. What protects me now from such attacks is the unbelievably dismal outcomes from the stimulus. You may not understand what I'm saying. But there is no doubt that, so far as the way our economies have performed, I have little reason to think anything other than that Mill was right, that the "strong version of Say's Law" is valid, and classical economists knew what they were talking about. The modern Keynesian fashion, on the other hand, has little to show for it. Does evidence count for nothing?
But I come onto this thread firstly to thank our moderator for his willingness to let the previous thread on L'offre crée même la demande continue to its end. But there is more to it than that. I wrote my book on Defending the History of Economic Thought, not just to explain why making the effort to understand the economic theory of the past is an extremely good way to deepen an economist's understanding of economic theory, but also to argue that HET is the place where economic theory goes to regenerate itself. This is the one and only place that economists from every one of the traditions in economic theory come to look in on what is being said by others.
There are mainstream journals, but also Austrian, Neo-Keynesian, Post-Keynesian, Institutionalist, Marxist and others, and if you are not part of whatever tradition that journal represents, it is unbelievably difficult to get published. HET has broken this tradition down, at least to some extent. It may well be that no one can follow what I or James or Per are trying to say, although we can follow each other with near perfect clarity. But where else are you going to even hear it at all?
The History of Economic Thought is by all accounts dying yet it is the most intellectually alive area in the whole of economic theory. It teems with ideas and there are economists from every tradition who are willing to fight it out before an audience of upwards of a thousand of their peers who can follow these discussions as they like. There is seldom a thread I don't learn from and I typically read them through.
And there is no doubt that HET is under threat of extinction. There are people at the top of our hierarchies, and I am talking about our hierarchies within HET, who would willingly take this study into the History and Philosophy of Science and leave economics behind. There are also mainstream theorists who would be glad to see the end of us and our constant criticisms of established textbook economics.
But there are also people, like myself and others who come to this site, who just find it fascinating to listen in on alternative ways of thinking about economic issues. That is what HET is for. Rather than restrict this area to burrowing into particular issues related to economists who are no longer mentioned in our textbooks, it should also be a place where ancient economists are resurrected and their ideas discussed. And I don't just mean on this site but across the entire expanse of the history of economic thought.
The journal, History of Economics and Policy, is a paradigm of just what is needed. Perhaps not for all of us, but certainly for some of us. This is not the end of HET but in my view is its salvation. Here is a link to its archive.
It is what every HET journal should become more like. Some traditional material but also some which see the relevance of past theory to our present problems.
And in furtherance of this post, I might just mention this news item, Canada charts comfortable course to 2015 budget surplus. If you are a Keynesian, your reaction would be, how terrible, what a tragedy! If, however, you have been following the news for the past five years, you can see what a triumph it is. The strong version of Say's Law remains in my view an absolute necessity if you are to understand how an economy works and why wasteful public spending accompanied by large deficits are the disasters they have so obviously proven to be.
"there were attempts made by that solid mainstream to have me sacked from my university appointment".
This is absolutely outrageous if true. But seems hard to believe.
Way to out yourself as a would-be despot.
I am near enough the only economist in the world who thinks "the strong version" of Say's Law is true. How weird is that!
Not weird at all Steven. You should draw the obvious conclusion.
This is not to say that I endorse Keynesian thinking and policy. I don't.
And I am 110% behind your support for HET.
'À bas' the villains who tried to get you sacked for speaking your mind! Names please!
Forget what "professional" economists say, and just look at what every other lefty says is bad about capitalism. It turns us into mindless consumers!
Every lefty knows that the average citizen is at the mercy of the capitalists and their advertizing industry flunkies. The capitalists are creating demand by producing stuff which they then try to convince the average citizen to buy. The average citizen does not demand that extra stuff; he is conned into "wanting" it.
The real question is; why are lefty economists afraid to admit what the other 99.99% of their comrades freely do?
Because power means something different when it's you that's got it.
Not much point in me commenting cos I'm 'on moderation'. I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Nobody knows the troubles I've seen.
If you are not already aware, you may be interested to know that the economist George Reisman supports and ably defends a strong version of Say's Law. He rejects out of hand aggregate demand failure in the absence of state interference. His book Capitalismis available free online. I highly recommend pp. 654ff.

Cool! I can now see your photography on a much lager screen.
Wow, I love this shot! And so completely different than Errie! Also, thanks for pointing out Orion else I would have completely missed it. You're right, it's the icing on the cake!

*Jerry was excited about going back to school as an adult learner. With nearly a decade working in the real world under his belt and tired of a dead-end job, he was now ready to return to college and finish his bachelor's degree. Through his work, he had gained valuable knowledge and learned many of life's hard-knock lessons. This time, he would apply himself; he was sure of it.
Not to say he wasn't nervous about returning to the college classroom after so many years. He imagined himself walking into the classroom, only to see a sea of 18-year-old faces turn to stare at him curiously. Gulp. Was he really doing this?
Thinking of going back to school? You're not alone. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), more than 40% of students enrolled in higher education were over age 25 in 2015. If that's the case, why do so many adult learners like Jerry feel anxiety at the prospect of returning to college?
A college classroom doesn't have to be intimidating for nontraditional students over 25, so put those fears to rest. The fact is, you are better prepared than you may realize. Odds are good that you're much readier than your younger counterparts. That's because returning students have certain advantages—benefits that only time, experience and maturity bring.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nontraditional students are characterized by one or more of these factors: being financially independent, having one or more dependents, being a single caregiver, not having a traditional high school diploma, delaying college, attending school part time or being employed full time.
If this describes you, rejoice! Nontraditional adult learners often assume a leadership role when the return to college. They typically set a good example for others because of their real-world experience and realistic expectations. Younger students often admire nontraditional students for their wisdom and street smarts. As role models, adult learners often end up teaching as much as they learn. This in itself is a great reward.
Plus, you owe it to yourself. You're ready to invest in your future, so you can have a more fulfilling life and a more satisfying job. Going back to school to finish your degree is something you've dreamed of for a long time. You promised yourself that you would finish one day. Is that day here? Only you can answer that question, but if you answer "yes", then you are not alone.
Are there any challenges for nontraditional students who return to college? The short answer is of course, but there aren't any challenges that can't be overcome. Sure, you may be a little older than some of the other students, but your age gives you many advantages, including maturity, perspective, dignity and street smarts.
Another challenge is juggling all the aspects of your life—work, school, relationships, family, children, bills, etc. Use technology to help you stay on top of all these priorities. Set hourly, daily and weekly reminders, and schedule all appointments in your phone's calendar to keep track of all your commitments.
Finally, don't forget your support systems. The relationships you've made over the years—your family and friends—will be there to cheer you on and provide a listening ear. Take advantage of these support systems. Also, many colleges and universities across the nation have been tailoring programs and establishing support to help returning students finish what they started.

Since lures around them spin?
Except for that brave smile.
In beauty, skill, quite poor.
Not grasping what's at hand.
From what have these folk fled?
Scarce are they clothed and fed!
Their sin had earned death's rod.
How few now hear their cry!
I found this video fascinating and wonderful for four reasons.
1. It's not often that someone takes atheism all the way to its logical outworkings: nihilism. Usually professing atheists hold on to vestiges of Christianity in their moral choices. This man stayed on the train of unbelief almost through the gates of insanity.
2. He explains things (both the lies he believed then and the truth he knows now) so clearly and concisely.
3. It gives me great joy to hear of the conversion of someone who had been so evil and sadistic. A wonderful display of the power of Jesus!

Lawmaker requests special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden, 'potentially incriminating contents' of laptop
The following story is brought to you courtesy of The Blaze. Click the link to visit their page and see more stories.
Could Hunter Biden be the subject of the next special counsel investigation? That's what Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) wants.
Buck sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Monday requesting that the Department of Justice initiate a special counsel investigation into the son of the media-declared president-elect, centering on Hunter Biden's "conduct" and the "potentially incriminating contents" on the laptop in the FBI's possession that purportedly belongs to Biden.
A special counsel investigation is critical for maintaining confidence in national security, Buck said.
"This investigation is critical to defending the integrity of our republic and ensuring a potential Biden Administration will not be the subject of undue foreign interference," Buck wrote. "Americans have the right to know whether Mr. Biden's reported ties to foreign governments will make him the subject of blackmail attempts or other nefarious efforts to undermine U.S. national security or otherwise improperly influence American foreign policy."
Buck went on to compare the necessity of a special counsel investigation now to when Robert Mueller was tasked with leading a special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"As you know, the Attorney General is granted the statutory authority to appoint a Special Counsel under 28 U.S.C. § 515 and 28 CFR § 600 to investigate and prosecute any matter that would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances," Buck wrote.
"Similar to when the DOJ appointed Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III, it is critical that this investigation continue free from political interference, no matter who is in the White House. We must guarantee the integrity of our government and the security of our republic," the Colorado Republican added.
Barr has already appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the Russia investigation, as a special counsel, essentially preventing the incoming Biden administration from interfering in Durham's work.
What's the background?
The New York Post published a bombshell story in mid-October reporting that the paper had obtained the hard drive to a laptop that allegedly had belonged to Hunter Biden. The laptop, which had been dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019 and never picked up, turned out to be in the possession of the FBI for unknown reasons.
The story was significant for many reasons. Most importantly, emails on the hard drive, purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, showed that Joe Biden had been more involved in Hunter Biden's overseas work than the former vice president previously admitted.
Biden, however, has denied any wrongdoing.
Still, Democrats claimed the laptop story was "Russian disinformation" meant to sway the election in President Donald Trump's favor just weeks before the election. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe later refuted such allegations.
"Let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that, because there's no intelligence that supports that, and we have shared no intelligence with Chairman [Adam] Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden's laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign — it's simply not true," Ratcliffe said in October.
Details about the laptop and why the FBI seized it remain murky. Fox News reported that investigators took the laptop in connection to a money-laundering investigation. Details about that investigation were not made public, nor has the FBI confirmed that such an investigation took place.
The most recent development in the story happened last month, when the computer repair shop owner closed his business and allegedly disappeared after receiving death threats.

Jack the Ripper (David Warner) resurfaces in London in 1893 and escapes through time in a machine built by H. G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell); Wells pursues him to 1979 San Francisco, where he falls in love with bank employee Amy Robbins (Mary Steenburgen). Thoroughly enjoyable science fantasy that may not make a lot of sense (what time travel story does?) but compensates nicely with vigorous script, engaging characters, and noteworthy performances, especially by McDowell and Steenburgen. Lets Jack be Jack and picks up Wells before he began writing his famous novels, making of him a much more palatable man (one might have expected him to be wearingly wise) whose naivete in the face of 20th century violence connects well with the pessimism in real life works like The Time Machine. Based on Karl Alexander's at-that-time-unfinished novel of the same name.

Dated in Rockville, Maryland, this 11th day of July, 2005. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Jack Donohew, Senior Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate IV, Division of Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. [FR Doc. 05–14361 Filed 7–20–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 50–346] FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company; Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1; Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of an exemption from Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.3 for Facility Operating License No. NPF–3, issued to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC or the licensee), for operation of the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (DBNPS), located in Ottawa County, Ohio. Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC is issuing this environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact. Environmental Assessment Identification of the Proposed Action The proposed action would be an exemption to certain requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, ''Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,'' Section III.G.3, ''Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability.'' Specifically, the licensee would be exempt from the requirements to install a fixed fire suppression system in Fire Area HH for DBNPS and to install fire detection in the approximately 4 VerDate jul<14>2003 19:42 Jul 20, 2005 Jkt 205001 percent of Fire Area HH not currently covered by a fire detection system. The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application dated January 20, 2004 (Agencywide Documents Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML0420220470), as supplemented by letters dated September 3, 2004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML0402520326), and February 25, 2005 (ADAMS Accession No. ML050610249). The Need for the Proposed Action The requirements specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.3, require fire detection and fixed fire suppression in areas for which alternate shutdown capability is provided. The total combustible loading in Fire Area HH is less than 20,000 BTU/ft 2. Existing fire protection capability in the area consists of a fire detection system, protecting Room 603 (approximately 96 percent of Fire Area HH, not including Rooms 603A and 603B) and manual fire suppression capability consisting of portable fire extinguishers and standpipe hose stations for the protection of the entire area. The exemption is needed because the current fire detection and fire suppression capability is sufficient to protect the health and safety of the public. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The NRC has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed exemption does not involve radioactive wastes, release of radioactive material into the atmosphere, solid radioactive waste, or liquid effluents released to the environment. The details of the staff's safety evaluation will be provided in the exemption that will be issued as part of the letter to the licensee approving the exemption to the regulation. The DBNPS systems were evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) dated October 1975 (NUREG 75/ 097). The proposed exemption will not involve any change in the waste treatment systems described in the FES. The proposed action will not significantly increase the probability or consequences of accidents, no changes are being made in the types of effluents that may be released off site, and there is no significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. Therefore, there are no significant radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 action does not have a potential to affect any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no other environmental impact. Therefore, there are no significant non-radiological environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. Accordingly, the NRC concludes that there are no significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action (i.e., the ''no-action'' alternative). Denial of the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the alternative action are similar. Alternative Use of Resources The action does not involve the use of any different resource than those previously considered in the DBNPS FES dated October 1975. Agencies and Persons Consulted On April 8, 2005, the staff consulted with Ohio State official, Ms. Carol O'Claire of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency, regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action. The State official had no comments. Finding of No Significant Impact On the basis of the environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, the NRC has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action. For further details with respect to the proposed action, see the licensee's letters dated January 20, 2004, September 3, 2004, and February 25, 2005.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of an exemption from Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.3 for Facility
Operating License No. NPF-3, issued to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating

licensee would be exempt from the requirements to install a fixed fire
suppression system in Fire Area HH for DBNPS and to install fire
detection in the approximately 4 percent of Fire Area HH not currently
covered by a fire detection system.
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's
application dated January 20, 2004 (Agencywide Documents Access
Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML0420220470), as supplemented
by letters dated September 3, 2004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML0402520326),

Recently for a Facebook Live, Deepika Padukone picked denim separates from Kanika Goyal Label. Styled by Shaleena Nathani, the look was quirky, chic and a lot of fun. The ensemble featured doodles by Babbu the Painter.
It goes without saying that Deepika Padukone looks effortlessly gorgeous almost every time she makes an appearance. Things get better when the actor decides to experiment. Recently for a Facebook Live, Padukone picked denim separates from Kanika Goyal Label and looked lovely in it. Styled by Shaleena Nathani, the look was quirky, chic and a lot of fun.
The ensemble featuring doodles by artist, Babbu the Painter, was paired with a white camisole and the actor pulled off the look with panache. We really liked the Christian Louboutin heels that added colour to the look. Casually tousled hair and black sunnies complemented her ensemble.
Prior to this, the actor was seen at the airport returning from a vacation with Ranveer Singh. The Padmaavat actor was seen in a black top and a pair of matching track pants. Black shades and gold hoops rounded out the look.
Singh, on the other hand, was seen in a white T-shirt, layered with a denim jacket. Oversized shades and a hairband completed the look for the Simmba actor.
The couple also turned heads while they were leaving for their vacation. Padukone looked lovely in a black high-neck tee that was teamed with a matching pencil skirt. Singh, on the other hand, looked sharp in a black tee that was teamed with a black jacket.


June 10, 2016 – At Orbital ATK's test facility in Promontory, Utah, crews are cooling the rocket booster for NASA's Space Launch System. The booster is being cooled to approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit ahead of its second qualification ground test June 28.
Testing at the thermal extremes experienced by the booster on the launch pad is important to understanding the effects of temperature on the performance of how the propellant burns. Data and analysis from past human-rated space programs have set the temperature limits for boosters between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The booster was heated to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for the first successful booster qualification test in March 2015.
The massive size of the booster means it will take more than a month to reach the cold temperature target for the booster inside the test stand. Three large air-conditioning units – similar to those used for outdoor ice skating rinks – have been placed around the test facility, and are continually pumping air at 25 degrees Fahrenheit into the test stand house surrounding the booster. Sensors inside and outside the booster measure the propellant temperature, and analytical models predict the time it takes for the booster to be conditioned to 40 degrees.
The two-minute, full-duration firing of the 177-foot booster will be the last full-scale test to support qualification of the hardware for the first two flights of SLS. Some 82 design objectives will be measured through more than 530 instrumentation channels on the booster. Along with measuring the ballistic performance at the lower end of the booster's accepted propellant temperature range, the test also integrates SLS flight-like command and control for motor ignition and nozzle steering.
After this test, the next time a SLS booster will be fired up will be on the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Two five-segment solid rocket boosters, along with four RS-25 engines, will propel SLS with the Orion spacecraft on its first mission in 2018. On that flight, known as Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), the Orion spacecraft and SLS will be integrated for the first time.
The initial SLS configuration will have a minimum 70-metric-ton (77-ton) lift capability. The next planned upgrade of SLS will use a powerful exploration upper stage for more ambitious missions with a 105-metric-ton (115-ton) lift capacity. A later configuration will replace the five-segment solid rocket boosters with a pair of advanced solid or liquid propellant boosters to provide a 130-metric-ton (143-ton) lift capacity. In each configuration, SLS will continue to use the same core stage and four RS-25 engines.
During EM-1, Orion will be launched into lunar distant retrograde orbit — a wide orbit around the moon that is farther from Earth than any human-rated spacecraft has ever traveled. The mission will last more than 20 days and will help certify the design and safety of Orion and SLS for human-rated exploration missions.


Previous post: Are you planning on leaving your job-search until after your exams?
Next post: My Career in Account Management. UoM graduate Emma tells her story.
Continuing my exploration of what our UoM Archaeology graduates are doing now, this is Jon Dobbie's story. I met Jon in the lab when he was working on his dissertation that was stone tool based. From analysing stone tools in the lab Jon has moved on to digging them out of the ground. This is how Jon became a man out standing in his field.
I am currently working as a field archaeologist at Cotswold Archaeology based in Andover.
I enjoy many aspects of it, for example when we were fortunate enough to dig the ditches of a barrow cemetery, the satisfaction of seeing the end product of your work. This is also complemented on seeing how a site gradually pieces together during and after excavation. Also being lucky enough to be involved in some of the Palaeolithic sites we work on.
What is the worst aspect!
December, January and February! Working away for long periods can be tough.
I studied a BA in Archaeology.
How long since you graduated?
How well did UoM prepare you for your current role?
Very well. There is only so much you can be prepared for without actually doing it. But most companies are aware of this and train you appropriately. I also involved myself in projects which were not compulsory to the course.
What was the most valuable aspect of your education to you?
It's tough to select a particular thing, in fact it was the combination of a wide range of aspects of my education that was valuable. I would say that for me the fieldwork was key in the fact it gave me a platform for further study and helped with my dissertation, but I suppose it depends on the direction you wish to pursue within the subject.
What is the most important advice you would give to a younger you wanting to work in archaeology?
Get involved with as many projects as possible. If fieldwork is an area you wish to pursue, it is valuable to contact companies over the summer to see if they have any work you can be involved in, to give you that foot in the door when it comes time to get work. Don't be afraid to ask the department to be involved in extra-curricular work and attempt to focus upon your areas of interest. I have been fortunate enough to remain involved with the Jersey project, a dig the UoM was working on and is still ongoing. This is due to my constant pestering, plus involvement with the team who worked on it, many of whom also work for commercial units. This dig takes place in the summer, and I have been told that to some people it seems strange that I take a holiday from digging, to go and dig!

Q: UITouch returns UIWebBrowserView (Apple internal component) instead of UIWebView I have a UIWebView and I want to detect any touch on that. (I don't want to use UITapGsture or any other thing)
I am using sendEvent: method of UIApplication for this purpose
and check if touch object contains webview.
Surprisingly it points to UIWebBrowserView. I have to check it's superview to get browser but it makes my code very inefficient because sendEvent is called every time when user makes a tap.
Code Snippet :

- (void)sendEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super sendEvent:event];

    NSSet *touches = [event allTouches];
    if (touches.count != 1)
        return;
    UITouch *touch = touches.anyObject

    if([touch.view isKindOfClass:[UIWebView class]]){ // This fails

    }
}

I want to know is there a way to make UITouch return WebView as an object instead of returning it's child views like UIPdfView or UIWebBrowser view?

A: Finally I found a solution to this :
We have to use :

if([touch.view isMemberOfClass:[UIWebView class]]){ // This Works

}

instead of :

if([touch.view isKindOfClass:[UIWebView class]]){ // This fails

}

The dust has yet to settle from the election fiasco and we are already feeling the impact. Was anyone caught off guard by CL&P raising its rates [Nov. 8, Page 1, "CL&P Electric Rates To Jump"] only days after Gov. Dan (sorry, now it's Dannel) Malloy won re-election?
Really? This deal was set in stone long ago. You're going to get what you voted for and this is only the beginning. Looks like it's going to be a very long and very expensive term for those of us who pay the tab.


For this first personal post that I'm writing, I thought I'd start with a topic that is very close to my heart…dealing with loss.
When I was seventeen, my mum passed away from cancer and ever since, my family and I have been coming to terms with loss and how to live with it. For people who haven't lost a loved one, I imagine there are two main perceptions of what it's like. The first, the you'll never be able to be happy again, or the second, that you'll forget about it and move on at some point. Neither are the case.
My understanding of loss is that it's like a constant companion who you become less aware of over time. When the grief of loss is still fresh you can sense it all the time but then as the years pass (and I do agree with the saying that time heals all wounds) you become less aware of it. There will be times when it springs up out of the blue but a lot of the time it's just another part of your life that doesn't consume you any longer.
Here are some of the ways that I've come to terms with loss over the years and found ways to deal with it.
One of the hardest things I've found with dealing with loss and grief, is being at peace with what I'm feeling. For me, I experienced grief as a general feeling of flatness and greyness. I felt like I lacked any strong emotions at all and I hated the feeling. I fought it as hard as I could and that obviously made it worse.
I saw a counsellor for a few years and she gave me the brilliant advice to just "be" with my feelings. Instead of trying to control your emotions, she said, just allow yourself to experience them. That's the only way you'll have a chance of working through them.
It can be confusing to know how to deal with loss and I found that I'd use movies and other people's experiences of it as a guideline for how I should be responding to it. When you lose a loved one you're obviously meant to be upset and you should cry lots and you should have a really sad funeral….should, should, should!
It's so much healthier to deal with loss in your own way. After my mum's funeral we went for a beach walk. It was hardly the most traditional or expected thing to do but it was so much better because it worked for us.
So ignore all those pressures, all those "shoulds", and deal with loss in whatever ways work for you. Maybe you need to cry, or laugh, or shout, or do exercise, or spend time with friends, or spend time alone…whatever it is, do it, and do it without feeling guilty about it.
Speaking of guilt, you sure feel a lot of it when you feel yourself moving on from your grief. I think one of the pressures I felt when dealing with loss, was the expectation that you'd never be happy again. I find that people tend to hold onto their grief as a way of proving their love for the person they lost.
In my family, we took a different approach. We decided that moving on and being happy again was exactly what mum would have wanted. So we did exactly that. We threw ourselves into living life to the fullest once again and I'm sure it sped up the healing process much more than if we'd forced ourselves to dwell on our unhappiness.
One of the biggest pieces of advice I'd give to anyone who is going through the loss of a loved one is to get whatever you're thinking and feeling off your chest…in whatever way works for you. For me, it meant opening up to my counsellor, to my friends and family. For others it may mean writing it down, only talking to a single trusted loved one, or working through it in other ways.
Keeping your feelings bottled up is never a good idea and especially when it comes to loss. A lot of the things you're feeling will be painful and confusing and hard to get your head around so it really helps to talk them through with someone else.
Six years on from losing my mum, it's still a part of me but it's not the thing that defines me. In the first few years following her death I felt like I needed to tell people what I had been through because I guess at the time it was a big part of my life still. But now, when I meet new people it's not something I typically bring up unless they ask about my parents. Not because I'm hiding it, more because it's not the main thing I think to share with people now that there are so many other things happening in my life.
It's easy, when you've lost a loved ones, to fall into the trap of getting overly attached to certain dates, and there's a lot of them to get sentimental about…their birthday, the day they passed away, the day of the funeral, anniversaries…and so on. I think it's normal to be aware that it's a certain date but it doesn't mean you have to use it as an excuse to fixate on your loss.
In my family we don't make too much of dates and if we do, it's to celebrate rather than mourn our loved one. On my mum's birthday one year, my sister and I, while at university together, chose to spend the day doing things she loved to do. Like going out for brunch, browsing charity shops, sitting in the sun. It was a lovely way to celebrate rather than mourn the date!
If you've recently experience a loss or are anticipating one, know that it's impossible but survivable. You do move on in time and it's well within your control to choose to embrace life afterwards rather than shut it out.

Indian Company Starts Exports of Chicken Feet
Broilers Processing Company/products Markets and economics
INDIA - Mangalore-based Souza Chicken is now exporting significant volumes of chicken feet, which are regarded as a waste product in India, to China and Viet Nam.
Export of chicken feet to China and Viet Nam have increased in Karnataka's Mangalore city as the countries relished these feet, reports Sify. In India, chicken feet are considered a waste and are discarded.
The Souza Chicken, a prominent hatchery in Mangalore is exporting almost 12 tonnes of chicken feet to the China and the Far East every month.
Lester D'Souza, managing partner of Souza Chicken, said they have recently added the export of chicken feet to their poultry business.
He said: "The latest addition to our business has been the export of frozen chicken feet to Hong Kong and Viet Nam, which has been going on for past one year. We developed this market for chicken feet when customers from abroad contacted us through our web site for chicken feet.
"They came down, they showed us processing by which rearing, selection, cleaning, packing and supply was to take place and after we got these details from them, we have been exporting one container a month for past one year."
Mr D'Souza added that chicken feet are neatly cut and cleaned without using any inorganic chemicals and are shipped out in freezer units used for exports, once a month to China, Hong Kong and Viet Nam.
Chicken feet are used as a delicacy on dining tables in China where they are often an option at dim sum restaurants, served as 'phoenix talons'.
Apart from Chinese cuisine, chicken feet form an integral part in Trinidadian, Jamaican, South African, Peruvian and Philippine cuisine.
In many countries abroad the popular 'phoenix talons' are also sold as street food that are often deep fried and seasoned with mustard, vinegar, fresh green pepper and crushed garlic. This is used as a popular salad and appetizer. The edible meat on the feet consists of skin and tendons and not much muscle. It is often used for bakery purpose as well, concludes the Sify report.

Basking Sharks Declared a 'Species of Concern'
By Live Science Staff 08 September 2010

A population of basking sharks in the Pacific Ocean have been declared a "species of concern" by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Fisheries Service due to steep declines in its population numbers.
The basking shark population has been dwindling despite a decrease in fishing in the past few decades, the agency said in an announcement on Wednesday.
Basking sharks are filter feeders, meaning they eat by straining food particles from water. They can be found throughout the world's oceans from the tropics and the Arctic. The sharks are most commonly found in temperate coastal waters where currents converge and plankton, their main source of food, is concentrated.
Until the 1950s the sharks were targeted for use in fishmeal and fish oil, and until the 1970s, fishermen continued to catch them as part of an eradication program to reduce run-ins between the sharks and fishing nets.
Today, scientists are worried about the eastern North Pacific population of basking sharks, whose numbers have not rebounded, even though fisherman are no longer pursuing them. While hundreds, and even thousands, of fish were once observed together, no group with more than three has been seen since 1993.
The label "species of concern" may be given to a species when there are concerns regarding the population status. The eastern Pacific basking shark is a species of concern, because it has been overfished and its population has not responded to conservation measures intended to help increase shark numbers.
The Fisheries Service hopes that by identifying it as a species of concern they can raise public awareness of the species status, generate interest in research to identify the factors that are inhibiting its recovery and, with states and other partners, restore this population before listing under the Endangered Species Act becomes necessary.
Currently, in the United States' federal waters, sharks caught as bycatch must be released immediately, and the state of California has banned keeping caught basking sharks. In Canada, the Species at Risk Act makes it illegal to take, harass, or destroy habitat for basking sharks there. The species is also listed as endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.

Q: How does Scala define a type of return value? How does Scala define a type of return value?
def sqrt = (x: Int) =>
  if (x > 0 && x < 4)
    x * x

The return type for my code is Int => AnyVal. But if I change it to
def method = (x: String) =>
  if (x.equals("abc"))
    x.concat(x)

The return type would be String => Any. But why not AnyRef? String is an object, so it is better to use AnyRef. Am I wrong?

A: Since your if expression has no else, Unit is returned if the condition evaluates to false. Unit extends AnyVal like Int, so in the first case the most specific type is AnyVal. Since String extends AnyRef, the most specific type is Any in the second case.

Voters go to poll Tuesday
Campaign signs found along Hwy. 144 seek votes in the race for District 4 on the Bryan County Board of Commissioners – the only contested local race. To see who is seeking office in the 2010 General Election. - photo by Photo by Hallie D. Martin
The 2010 Election is Tuesday, and voters in Bryan County will cast their ballots for county commissioners and school board members, statewide officials and the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives seats.
Voting takes place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Early voting ended Friday. Out of 20,000 registered voters in Bryan County, 1,979 voters cast their ballots during the early voting period that began in September, according to the Bryan County Voter Registrar's office.
That number is small and it usually indicates voter turnout on Election Day, but this year might be different, said Warren Miller, the voter registrar for Bryan County.
"It's hard to say," he said how many people will vote Tuesday.
Up for grabs are seats on the Bryan County Board of Commissioners for District 2 in North Bryan, and district 4 and 5 in South Bryan. No incumbents are running in any of those races, and District 4 is the only contested race.
Republican Butch Broome and Independent Carter Infinger are vying for a four-year term to represent District 4. Although only their names will appear on the ballot, Lynda Morse has also been running an aggressive write-in campaign for the seat.
Jody Wade "Bubba" Price, a Republican, is running unopposed for the District 2 seat, while Republican Jimmy Henderson is also running unopposed for the District 5 seat.
Voters in Bryan County can also cast their ballot for the chairman of the Bryan County Board of Education. Eddie Warren, the Republican incumbent, is running unopposed.
None of the seats up for grabs on the school board are contested. In District 1 (Pembroke), Republican Paine Bacon is running. In District 4 (Richmond Hill), incumbent Republican Joe Pecenka is running for another four-year term, while Republican David Schwartz is running for the District 5 (Richmond Hill) spot.
In South Bryan, incumbent Republican Ron Stephens is facing Democrat Zena McClain for the state House of Representatives District 164. Jan B. Tankersley, a Republican, is running unopposed for the state House of Representatives District 158 in North Bryan.
All Bryan County voters can also choose between Earl "Buddy" Carter, the Republican incumbent, or Democrat Carry Smith for the District 1 state Senate seat.
Voters can call the Bryan County Voter Registrars Office at 653-3859 to find out which precinct and/or district they live in and where to vote. Voters can also visit http://sos.ga.gov/mvp/ to see a sample ballot.

At the UN Committee Against Torture.
An Irish official from the Department of Justice, sitting next to Minister of State for Justice and Equality David Stanton (left), spoke to the committee about the report into the Magdalene laundries by former Senator Martin McAleese published on February 5, 2013.
"I have to say at the start the Taoiseach's apology and the findings of the McAleese report still stand. There's no question of walking back from either.
He also looked at the question of unlawful imprisonment. There was never any legal basis for detaining a woman in a Magdalene laundry if she was an adult. And at the time, the age of majority in Ireland was 21. So that's, any woman who was 21 or older, there's no legal basis for their detention in a Magdalene institution.
A number of women, when interviewed by the chairman of the committee, did say that they were unsure of whether they were always free to leave and a smaller number of women who felt that they were being detained against their will but those particular cohort of women all came through the industrial schools and there was a provision in the act that governs those industrial schools that provided that a child committed to an industrial school could be subject to controls up the age of 21. So that there would be a legal basis for them being restricted, their liberty.
We have no reason to believe at this stage, that there is a body of evidence out there which was not looked at by the McAleese committee. But if there is evidence of criminal abuse that's newly available, we would be happy to receive it from any source.
The McAleese committee did look for all relevant diocesan records and did inspect material from the Galway diocese. In addition, the Department of Justice itself, and separate to the committee, did receive material from the Galway dioceses, because it lists a number of individuals and that facilitated the granting of payments to those individuals because it proved that they were in that institution.
There are questions of sensitive personal data regarding the archives of the McAleese committee. A person who was in a Magdalene institution is entitled to access to religious records relating to her so any individual who wants to access records relating to them may have access to them.
There is no statute of limitations in Ireland for criminal offences. We are not aware of any civil action that has been taken in the Irish courts relating to a Magdalene institution and has failed because of the statute of limitations being envoked.
Moving on to the actual scheme itself, Judge Quirke recommended that only two criteria be applied for the question of eligibility for payment, under the scheme. That was one, the person was admitted to the, one of the specialised institutions and the second was they worked those in those specific institutions.
In that context the Government decided that persons should not benefit from two schemes with one exception. And this was an exception that was specifically recommended by Judge Quirke, it was a report and that is in relation to girls who were transferred from industrial schools to Magdalene laundries under the relevant legislation and the exception applies where the period up to the age of 18, so in period up to the age of 18, they're eligible for possibly compensation, or payments, from either the Residential Institutions Redress scheme or the Magdalene scheme. But for the period over 18, it's limited just to the Magdalene scheme.
The question of medical assistance abroad was mentioned. The provision and statutory provision has been provided for the provision of medical assistance in Ireland. But, obviously, that can't be applied to other countries because we don't have the jurisdiction over their medical system so the arrangement is done on an ad-hoc basis, individual basis, depending on which country they're in, arrangements made on that basis.
Felice D. Gaer, a member of the UN Committee Against Torture, above, recalled the words of the late Sir Nigel Rodley who addressed Irish officials in 2014.
He referred to your legacy of abuse and I'm going to quote him here: he said it was 'quite a collection'. Quite a collection and his view was, he said it is time the Irish state stopped it's automatic response to every scandal, being to first deny, then delay, then lie, cover-up and, eventually are forced to throw some money at it and hope it will go away.
"Now, this is a surprisingly sharp omment from him and I only bring it up at the end now because first I wanted to honour his memory but recalling this, I also wanted to recall that when we reviwed Ireland the first time, in 2011, Mr Shatter [former Justice Minister Alan Shatter] came in and his response to the question of what was happening with the Magdalene laundries was to say that the, this was something that happened long ago, that the girls…and it was only by, that everybody had gone there with consent.

Does your child need traditional camp or specialty camp?
Over 100 years ago, traditional camp was started as a way for children to escape the heat of the city. This is not exactly the same situation that we have now in Southwest Orlando! Summer camp has evolved into a year-round business that promotes "experiential education". This is the idea that children can learn by doing. There is something important to be gained from having new experiences outside of a classroom. The American Camp Association reports that children who go to camp are more confident, build meaningful relationships, and more likely to try new things. A traditional camp with a varied program is a great way to develop these important life skills.
In the past decade, "specialty camp" has been all the rage. Parents and children are now focusing on specific topics at a younger and younger age. Whether it is an instructional basketball clinic or an advanced robotics coding program, people want high-level instruction as an extension of the school year. These camps build valuable skills for later on and develop an early foundation for a future career. Due to the high-level instruction and materials required, these camps often come at a higher price point.
There's no right or wrong answer for selecting a summer camp program for your child. The most important thing is that children are actively engaged in learning and socializing with others. While the specific benefits will vary from camp to camp, all can be a positive experience. When selecting a summer camp, consider the specific interests of your child, while also evaluating their social and emotional needs from the perspective of a parent. Traditional camps also tend to have a lower price-point than specialty camps, making them a more budget-friendly camp option.
Remember: the decision on selecting a summer camp is up to the parent! Allowing children to participate in the decision process can be a valuable exercise. But parents should set limits, provide guidance, and make the final decision. Especially at a young age, having new experiences are critically important. This teaches children that it is beneficial to try new things. It can also open the doors to new interests that they didn't know they had. "Mixing and matching" between traditional and specialty summer camps is a great option for most children.
