Sleep apnea is a condition where there are multiple pauses in breathing for about 10 seconds or more during sleep repeatedly throughout the night. Symptoms include heavy snoring, daytime tiredness, and mood swings. This condition is characterized by the muscles in the throat relaxing or the tongue falling back and collapsing the airway.
Sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and excessive weight gain. If you want to stop snoring or find effective sleep apnea treatment, call our office today.
Dr. Chesterfield offers at-home sleep tests, or will accept previous sleep studies to plan out your sleep apnea treatment. If you want to get tested for sleep apnea, or if you have already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can offer effective sleep apnea treatment to stop snoring and other problems.
Although the CPAP machine is highly effective, patients do not often comply with the treatment, and they never see results. If you are searching for a more comfortable alternative to the CPAP machine, ask our dentists about oral appliance therapy.
Studies show compliance rates for Oral Appliance Therapy of 77% to 95%. The reason patients are so willing to wear their oral appliance is because it is small, noninvasive, and comfortable. They can find relief from their sleep apnea symptoms and get their health back on track with ease.
Suffering from snoring? Hate your CPAP Machine? Give us a call today.
Let's stop snoring together and safeguard your long-term health. Our oral appliances can keep your airway open at night so that you can wake up feeling healthy and refreshed.
To make an appointment, contact Chesterfield Smile Design in Chesterfield, MO today. Also serving Florissant.

As the time passes layers are constantly being made, by nature or by mankind. To oppose those two as battling forces and see them as different entities enables us to see the interaction in a different light. Together they make up timelines which are constantly being interrupted, torn apart or reconnected. Layers of roots, concrete, dust, weeds, trash, history, emotion and people, they are all marks which are tangled together and which have come to being with time. They connect the past, now and the future.
I use tools such as emphasizing, hiding, erasing, cleaning and fixing, and play with the value and status of objects, places and ideas. I play with that which is unbelievable within the real.

Around 400 people turned out for last week's 'School's Out for Summer' event at the site – a family fun day coinciding with the start of the summer holidays, where parents and children were able to enjoy a huge range of activities.
Causeway Fun Farm, an open farm based in Bushmills, brought along petting animals for people to play with. At the same time, food from the community garden – including new potatoes, scallions, salad leaves, mangetout and strawberries – was harvested and people were able to cook and eat it during an interactive class.

fter winning the public vote to become Northern Ireland's flagship project in late 2015, the Cornfield opened last September, offering a community garden, outdoor classrooms, youth hang-outs, woodland play areas, wild flower sites, bird and bat boxes, nature zones, barefoot walks, project trails, bug hunts and more.
Supported by the Big Lottery Fund and led by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Grow Wild inspires communities, friends, neighbours and individuals across the UK to come together to transform local spaces, by sowing, growing and enjoying native wild flowers.


Leaving his life in New York City behind, 33-year-old Ira Hughes has moved back into his childhood home to help care for his ailing father. His overbearing mother quickly guilts him into looking after her interests in the family curio shop. That means dealing with her business partner, Colton McCabe, the bully who made Ira's teen years a living hell.
Ira is now forced to confront painful memories from his past. As he watches his father fight for his life, and his relationship with his mother becomes even more strained, he begins to find unexpected comfort in his time with Colton. Could it be that Colton is not the high school horror he used to be? Is the bane of his youth now becoming the love of his life?

A grand jury report found that Roman Catholic priests had abused more than 1,000 children in Pennsylvania over a period of 70 years. Some church officials say the report reiterates issues that have already been addressed, but details suggest otherwise.

The report, which describes a system of cover-ups by church officials, is the most far-reaching examination by a United States government agency thus far of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
Catholics — some of whom had stayed with the church after explosive revelations of priest abuse over a decade ago — are grappling with the report's revelations.
The report begins, "We, the members of this grand jury, need you to hear this." Read excerpts here.

Reputed Gambino crime boss shot and killed outside New York home
Posted 9:30 AM, March 14, 2019, by Tribune Media Wire
A reputed New York crime boss was shot and killed outside a home Wednesday night.
Francesco Cali, 53, was found with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, the NYPD said.
A law enforcement official confirmed to CNN that the victim was a high-ranking member of the Gambino crime family and is believed to be the acting boss.
Police responded to a 911 call Wednesday night of an assault in front of the home in the New York borough of Staten Island.
EMS responded to the scene and transported Cali to Staten Island University North where he was pronounced dead.
Police say there are no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
Cali had been considered a unifying figure in the years after John Gotti, "Dapper Don," was convicted and sent to prison by cooperating mob witnesses, WPIX reported.
Unlike the well-dressed Gotti of the late 80s and early 90s, Cali kept a low profile.
He was the first New York crime family boss shot in 34 years, according to the station. In 1985, Paul Castellano was executed as he arrived at Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan. Gotti and his turncoat underboss, Sammy "Bull" Gravano reportedly watched the action from nearby.

6 Movie-Theater Calorie Bombs
5 Healthy Comfort Foods to Reach For When You're Happy or Stressed
When Americans feel stressed, they turn to their favorite feel-good foods: pizza, chocolate, ice cream, and mac and cheese. A new Harris poll conducted in December 2015 confirms what we already know: Most people eat more when they're feeling overwhelmed and frazzled. More than 40 percent of the 2,252 U.S. adults surveyed said they indulge in comfort foods at the end of a bad day. And a nearly equivalent number use treats to celebrate good days, too, which means we do a whole lot of emotional processing with food by our side. Not surprisingly, the foods we gravitate to in times of distress — or happiness — aren't the healthiest. Pizza topped the list of favorite comfort foods, with 15 percent of Americans naming it their number one choice. Chocolate and ice cream tied for second place, each earning 7 percent of votes. Fourth and fifth place went to savory treats: macaroni and cheese and chips. In case you were wondering, kale, quinoa, and almonds didn't make the list. It's safe to say we're not going to stop craving foods like cheesy pizza or creamy ice cream when we need a little lift, so why not find ways to turn these moments of weakness into opportunities to make healthier choices? With a few simple tweaks and smart serving strategies, foods that seem like total splurges can be completely reasonable (and sometimes even downright nutritious) while still delivering the warm-and-fuzzy feelings we're after.
Whether you're ordering from your favorite pizza shop or making it yourself, go for a thin crust to save doughy calories, and skip the fatty, salty meat toppings like pepperoni and sausage. Instead, load up your pie with vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, onions, peppers, artichokes, fresh tomato slices, and eggplant (most pizzerias offer a wide range of choices). Then, it's all about portion control. Stick to two slices and have a big tossed salad on the side. (Find more tips on ordering svelter slices here.)
If you can limit yourself to about an ounce or so, there's no reason you can't enjoy this favorite sweet regularly, or even daily. If one small piece inevitably turns into an entire bar, you're probably better off getting your fix from something that takes longer to polish off than a two-inch square of chocolate. One delicious alternative is to sip on a creamy chocolate dessert smoothie made with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk), 1 frozen ripe banana, and 2 teaspoons cocoa powder — or a mug of hot cocoa made with skim or almond milk. You can also stretch your chocolate calories by nibbling on some of the frozen chocolate-covered fruit options that are popping up in supermarkets, such as Diana's Bananas pops and Dole Dark Chocolate Dippers.
As with other sweets, keeping portions in check is really the key here. Try scooping your favorite ice cream into a ramekin or small mug rather than an oversized cereal bowl to keep yourself on the straight and narrow. Chances are, when you've finished the smaller bowl, you'll still feel pleasantly satisfied. To make a single scoop appear more generous, top it with fresh or frozen, thawed berries or banana slices. Or skip the dairy altogether and try some of these fruit-based frozen desserts with no added sugar.
So many traditional recipes completely gild the lily with oodles of cheese, buttery bread crumbs, and even heavy cream. But there are lots of great recipes for lightened-up mac and cheese floating around on the web, too, like this one from Cooking Light. Most use low-fat dairy to trim calories, and some call for whole-grain noodles for a fiber boost. Match your cheesy side with a lean protein, like grilled chicken, and a vegetable (broccoli pairs nicely) and you've just turned a classically rich dish into a well-balanced meal.
The real trouble with chips is that a serving is so darn measly. One big handful is about 150 calories, and it's ridiculously easy to plow through four, five, or more servings when you're sitting down in front of the TV with the bag in front of you. Sweet potato or root vegetable chips may offer a bit more in the way of fiber or vitamins, but they're still loaded with calories. If chips are your comfort food of choice, opt for a snack-sized pouch to prevent things from getting out of hand. Or count out a single serving of tortilla chips to enjoy with lots of fresh salsa. If you're just in the mood to crunch, I suggest switching to air-popped popcorn. For the calorie equivalent of 15 potato chips, you can munch on 4 to 5 cups of popcorn, which will take you longer to eat and leave you feeling far more full. Photo credit: Catherine Frawley/Corbis

Olympic marathon silver medallist Kirwa banned for doping
Bahrain's Eunice Jepkirui Kirwa's four-year suspension was backdated to May 7, 2019.

Kenyan-born Bahraini Eunice Jepkirui Kirwa, who won marathon silver at the Rio Olympics in 2016, has been suspended for four years for doping, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Monday.
Kirwa had been provisionally banned since May after the prohibited blood-booster EPO was detected in her blood sample. Her four-year suspension is backdated to May 7, 2019.
The 35-year-old finished second in Rio behind Kenya's Jemima Sumgong, who was banned for eight years in January for attempting to hinder an investigation into her use of EPO by supplying false documents.
Kirwa, who also won world bronze in Beijing in 2015, can appeal the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Jennifer Hyman and Jenny Fleiss, Co-Founders of Rent The Runway
JENNIFER FLEISS'S BIO
Jennifer (Jenny) Fleiss, President, is an entrepreneur at heart. She started her career at Morgan Stanley in the Strategic Planning Group crafting long-term company strategy. She then moved on to Lehman Brothers' Asset Management Group where she was responsible for analyzing business growth opportunities through acquisitions, international expansion, and new product strategies. A natural leader, Jenny founded an essay-editing and coaching service for college applicants, and built the company into an online tutoring service.
In 2007, Jenny began at Harvard Business School where she met fellow co-founder and friend, Jennifer (Jenn) Hyman. As sectionmates, the two women would meet frequently to discuss entrepreneurial ideas, one of which was Rent the Runway. Designed to solve the common "closet full of clothes but nothing to wear" problem, Jenn and Jenny launched Rent the Runway in November 2009.
Now a year into business, Rent the Runway has quickly grown to acquire 600,000 members and has signed on 120 top designer brands. With an inventory of over 15,000 dresses and 4,000 accessories, and entry into new categories such as handbags and undergarment essentials (available for sale), Rent the Runway has become the one-stop shop for life's special occasions.
Jenny received her Bachelor of Arts from Yale University in 2005 graduating Cum Laude, and her Master's of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 2009.
JENNIFER HYMAN'S BIO:
Jennifer Hyman has been the Chief Executive Officer of Rent the Runway since the company's inception in November 2009. She is responsible for all areas of the business including technology, fashion, sales, marketing, operations, customer service, and team management, while also serving as the company spokesperson.
Jennifer co-founded Rent the Runway with her Harvard Business School classmate Jennifer Fleiss. After receiving approximately $15 million from Bain Capital Ventures and Highland Capital, they have quickly built the company to include a 900,000 membership base with 45 employees. Rent the Runway is a members-only online fashion community that builds customer loyalty for designer brands by enabling women to rent dresses and accessories for all the special occasions in their lives. As the "Netflix for fashion," Rent the Runway encourages women to experiment with new designer brands and trends.
Rent the Runway was named as one of Time Magazine's "50 Best Websites of 2010," Fast Company's "10 Most Innovative Fashion Companies of the Year" and Newsweek's "21 Best Ways to Save in 2011." Additionally, Jennifer and her co-founder were named as Inc. Magazine's "Top 30 Under 30," Fast Company's "Most Influential Women in Technology," and Fashion Group International's "Rising Stars."
Prior to Rent the Runway, Jennifer was the Director of Business Development at IMG where she focused on the creation of new media businesses for IMG's Fashion Division. She also ran an online advertising sales team at WeddingChannel.com and was an in-house entrepreneur at Starwood Hotels, creating Starwood's first wedding business which was recognized on the Oprah Winfrey Show for its innovation.
Jennifer received her BA from Harvard University and MBA from Harvard Business School. She currently resides in New York City where she enjoys the entrepreneurial lifestyle, neighborhood restaurants, and socializing with her friends and family.
1. What prompted both of you to create Rent the Runway?
JF: The idea originally started when my co-founder Jennifer Hyman was home during Thanksgiving break and her sister had a "closet full of clothes but nothing to wear moment." We started RTR so that women everywhere can have the rotating closet they've always dreamed of and access to designer brands that otherwise would have been unattainable.
Scenario: you meet a business exec who is looking to fund a cause that already has had enormous positive implications for the community locally and abroad. He wishes to offer $50,000 to a cause that is innovative in its thinking. He has 10 minutes available to speak with you. What do you share with him about your work?
JH- We are committed to building a business that introduces the next generation of women to designer brands. We have found that 90 percent of women who use RTR rent a brand they never owned before, and 80 percent report purchasing something from the brand they rented from. RTR is a true gateway to retail and we are changing the way the female customer shops and manages her wardrobe.
2. For most successful entrepreneurs, there is no typical day so give us a sample of your schedules from start to finish.
JF: I am an avid runner so I try to go to the gym before going into the office. Once I get to the office there is normally a team meeting. My mornings consist of brainstorming sessions and discussions about continually improving our processes. My afternoons are normally filled with answering emails and more meetings. We are currently expanding our team so I'm currently meeting with a lot of potential candidates for various roles across the business.
JF: I manage my time with lists. I have a to do list for each day, and an agenda for every meeting I attend. I also update my calendar constantly on my laptop and have it synced with my blackberry.
4. Best advice received when you started your career?
JH: The best advice I received was to pursue work that fulfilled me. I had to ask myself what do I enjoy doing? I get the most happiness leading a team, coming up with a strategy and being creative. That's why I know I'd be just as happy being a soccer coach as I am running a fashion company.
5. Given the current economic climate, how has your strategy for building awareness of your work changed for the short-term and long-term?
JF: When we started Renttherunway.com we were in the middle of a recession and consumers were changing their spending habits. They were very conscious of cost-per-wear. Even though we're slowing coming out of the recession we find that women are still conservative in their spending habits.
6. What's been your proudest achievement as such immensely accomplished Entrepreneurs?
JH: We're about to reach one million members so that will be a very proud moment for the Rent the Runway team as everyone has worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone.
7. What are some of the ways that you achieve balance in your life?
JF: I think every entrepreneur naturally feels as though there aren't enough hours in the day but I find it's really about appreciating where you are in the moment and making time for those who are important to you.
8. Your top 3 book recommendations for our readers (and why?)
JF: "Delivering Happiness" which is the story of Zappos success and "Getting to Plan B" by Randy Komisar who provides great insight into how having a bias towards action is a huge part of starting a company – something we live by at Rent the Runway.
9. What's your advice to someone interested in starting their own business?
JH: Jenny and I had a rule from the very beginning of Rent the Runway to never write a business plan, because we think that's a waste of time. Starting a business is a series of iterative tests. Each test eliminates some of the risks of starting a business.

Venus arrived on time for an astronomical spectacular
VENUS, the planet named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, arrived punctually at 7.20 yesterday morning, after an absence of 122 years, for its meeting with the Sun. It then began its 6-hour transit across the surface of the star, but viewing from the Balearics was made difficult by clouds.
According to the National Institute of Meteorology (INEM), the weather made early observation difficult, because yesterday the skies were cloudy in the regions of Cantabria, with cloudy intervals in Castilla-La Mancha and Madrid, Navarra, Aragón, La Rioja, Castilla and León; as well as the mountainous areas of Cataluña, the Balearics and the Canary Islands. There was extensive cloudiness in Extremadura and Andalucia. The transit was divided in four phases of contact: the first, which began at 7.20am in Spain (05.20 GMT), was the moment at which Venus situated itself at its closest to the outer regions of the sun. The moment of the second contact, with Venus entirely now within the aura of the Sun, was pinpointed at 7.40am; the third contact, with the planet on the point of exit was at 1.05pm; the fourth, with Venus already outside the Sun, was at 1.25pm. Sixteen Spanish webcams offered direct viewing of Venus in transit in real time through the Internet, but the happening could be followed "live" from any geographical point, except in the Canary Islands, where the sequence was lost because dawn hadn't broken at that point. Experts warned that observing the transit of Venus, is much more dangerous than watching an eclipse. This is because the planet only covered 1/32 of the surface of the solar disc, therefore only minimally reducing its luminosity. In order to avoid blindness through burning the cornea, the only safe method of viewing was to project the image of the Sun on a piece of cardboard. The observatory at Costitx had an "open day" yesterday to enable the public first hand viewing of an event that will not be seen again from the Balearics until the year 2117. Enthusiasts were also able to watch the event from the Balearic University. Venus is the planet second closest to the Sun, at a distance of some 108 million kilometres, rather more than two thirds the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The planet has a diameter of 12'100 kilometres, with mass and density similar to that of Earth. The Venusian year is a little shorter than that of our own planet, lasting 225 days. However, Venus takes 243 days to give a complete turn on its own axis; meaning that a day on Venus is longer than its year (journey in orbit round the Sun). Additionally, the "day" is back to front on Venus where the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East.
The jab


President's welcome letter. Regulator Board. The Bierzo Designation of Origin Regulator Board.
Welcome to Bierzo, the land where we have grown up, raise us in vineyards and listen countless stories that our grandparents lived at the wineries as the beginning of our tradition and values in search of a sustainable cultural development that stands the test of time.
In this new stage in front of the Regulator Board we want to increase our value as Designation of Origin and territory. The great potential of Bierzo is vineyard rooted in the area for several generations. Villages, people who have inhabited and took of the vineyard heritage for centuries and today we can show of being the area's oldest vineyard surface around the world. It is not something new, it has always been present and in recent years we have learned to listen, evaluate and enhance our starting point.
We are proud of it and eagerly assume the cultural legacy that we have learned since we were kids.
Today our goal is to share The Bierzo with you and learn how to love it from the land to understand the origin as a defining factor in human progress.
We wait you without an appointment.

Review: Shipstar (Bowl of Heaven #2) by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven
June 19, 2020 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment
Science fiction masters Larry Niven and Gregory Benford continue the thrilling adventure of a human expedition to another star system that is jeopardized by an encounter with an astonishingly immense artifact in interstellar space: a bowl-shaped structure cupping a star, with a habitable area equivalent to many millions of Earths. And which, tantalizingly, is on a direct path heading toward the same system the human ship is to colonize.
Investigating the Bowl, or Shipstar, the human explorers are separated—one group captured by the gigantic structure's alien inhabitants, the other pursued across its strange and dangerous landscape—while the mystery of the Shipstar's origins and purpose propel the human voyagers toward discoveries that transform their understanding of their place in the universe.
Shipstar, the follow up to Bowl of Heaven and the second book in the series of the same name, is pretty close to perfect as sequels go. Authors Gregory Benford and Larry Niven expanded on Book 1 nicely by showing us more of the Bowl: it's functions, processes, life forms, and history. We also learn more about the Earth crew as more of them are awakened, and their interpersonal relationships continue to develop. As the humans continue to fight for freedom, and the aliens try to hold on to their captives, the plot gets more intense and enthralling.
When I talk about expanding on information about the Bowl, that is not a statement to be taken lightly. One of the things I really love about this book is that it goes DEEP explaining the forces and dynamics that make the bowl work. It dives heavily into the physics of it, and as someone who really nerds out about processes and particles and electromagnetic forces I enjoyed being immersed in that knowledge.
This carries over to other aspects of the Bowl, as well. As the humans' struggle to free themselves goes on with the help of other alien species present in the Bowl, the reader naturally learns more about these aliens and meets new life forms, as well. The fact that these life forms live much longer than humans makes for an effective plot mechanic because it turns into an easy way for the humans to learn more about the aliens as well as their history. Armed with more knowledge, the humans are better equipped to escape the Bowl. This give-and-take was an aspect of the book I found to be quite intriguing.
Shipstar spends more time on deck with the crew of the SunSeeker, as well, which is another way the authors have continued to developed the story. The reader gets to see into the minds of Captain Redwing and his mates as they assess the situation and formulate their own plan to help their captive colleagues. This is, again, another opportunity to explore the physics of the situation as the group further investigates the bowl and attempts to disrupt its stability. In my opinion, the commitment to making this book smart and full of explanations of the physics that makes everything work is one of the best aspects of the story.
While reading the first two books of this series, I have gotten the Star Trek feels. It is as if the Enterprise has docked on a foreign land on its way to exploring another planet and is attempting to rescue captured members of the crew. And because this part of the story encompasses two books, reading both books back-to-back was like watching a two-part episode with a "to be continued…" at the end of the first. I mentioned in my review of Bowl of Heaven (Book 1) that it felt more like classic fantasy than contemporary fantasy, and that continued with this book. I like that this series brings me back to that Star Trek state of mind. That is a big plus to me, because it feels like a bit of a throwback.
Shipstar is an excellent follow-up to Bowl of Heaven; not only does it expand on the universe of the first book properly, but the classic sci-fi writing style and episodic nature of the story split between the two books gives me the Star Trek feels, And I absolutely loved it. I continue to recommend this series for sci-fi fans. I have high expectations for Book 3, Glorious.

The body of a 1-year-old boy who died of dehydration is prepared for burial at Jalozai refugee camp in northwest Pakistan. According to Muslim tradition, the male family members wrap the child's body in a white funeral shroud. In this case it was the child's father, his uncle and an imam.
The family, originally from North Afghanistan, had sought refuge from political instability and the consequences of drought in Pakistan. At the time, nearly one-fourth of the world's refugees were from Afghanistan. The Jalozai camp was extremely overcrowded and under-maintained. By June, 80,000 Afghan refugees lived there in squalid conditions, with little food or shelter. Many children died as a result of disease or dehydration.


Fiery human rights lawyer, Audu Bulama-Bukarti, has written to the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, demanding certified true copies of videos showing the governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, allegedly receiving bribe.
DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that the commission had since established the authenticity the video clips after forensic analysis within and outside the country.
But in a letter titled: "Application for Certified True Copy of Result of Forensic Investigation of Video Clips Allegedly Showing Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State Receiving Bribe" and addressed to Mr Magu, the lawyer gave the commission seven-day ultimatum to make the copies available to him or face legal action.
"I humbly write under Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act, 2011 to request for certified true copy of the Result of the Forensic Analysis you conducted into the Video clips released by Daily Nigerian online newspapers between 14th and 15th October 2018 allegedly showing Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje receiving bribe.
"As you may recall, you informed me publicly on the 23rd of November 2018 at Queen Mary University of London that you were in London to, among other things, perform forensic analysis of the said videos.
"It is against the foregoing that I make this application.
"I am happy to pay such processing fees as you may charge for the preparation of the said document.
"Finally, may I remind you that by and under Section 4 of the Freedom of Information Act, you have 7 days within which to avail me of this information, failing which I shall not hesitate to proceed under the relevant provisions of the Act," Mr Bukarti wrote.


GRETNA – A construction worker is suing the owners of an excavator that allegedly dropped a load on top of him, resulting in severe and disabling injuries.
David K. Arceneaux, and wife Mellisa, filed suit against Fleming Construction Company LLC in the 24th Judicial District Court on Jan. 12.
Arceneaux asserts that he was working for Legreca Services Inc. on Jan. 15, 2014 on a public works project in Kenner when an excavator on the job site dropped a load on him. The plaintiff claims that prior to the incident the employee operating the excavator was doing so in an unsafe manner. Arceneaux alleges he received serious disabling injuries due to the negligence of the defendant.
The defendant is accused of failing to operate the excavator in safe manner, failing to supply qualified and experienced personnel, failing to remove a protective covering from the excavator, failing to properly supervise and train and employees and failing to utilize appropriate equipment for the job being performed.
An unspecified amount in damages is sought for medical expenses, mental pain and suffering, physical pain and suffering, permanent disability, lost wages, diminution of wage earning capacity and pharmaceutical expenses.
Arceneaux is represented by attorney Mary W. Riviere of Houma.


Who Can Watch Whom Under the Law?
Who can watch whom under the law? Is it ethical to release CCTV footage to to the public? What comes first, citizen privacy or state protection? These are all questions that have come up in the wake of the exposure of the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre. As the Royal Commission into the matter begins, we are left wondering what further exposure may reveal. This raises the ethical question of whether or not CCTV footage is ethical and how its role within society can affect individuals. However the ethics and laws around CCTV footage remain murky. Dr Katina Michael, professor from the School of Computing and Information Technology at the University of Wollongong, joined us on the show to discuss these issues.

Q: How to override LWC lightning record form Cancel button I'm using a lightning record form to create a new cord in a Customer Community. Just wondering is there any way to override the standard 'Cancel' button behaviour?

A: Short answer is No.
From the documentation, This event has no default behavior that can be canceled. You can't call preventDefault() on this event.

You can customise only onload and onsubmit events. If you need more customized usage, you need to implement lightning-edit-form

A: I have used like as steated below and it is worked for me
 <lightning-record-form  object-api-name='Contact' fields={layoutfields}
                    columns="2" mode="edit" onsubmit={handleSubmit} oncancel={closeModal}  onsuccess={handleSuccess} class="full forcePageBlock forceRecordLayout">
                </lightning-record-form>

Lightning:recordForm cancel button unresponsive

A: As stated in documentation, use the oncancel attribute to do anything we want in the js file.
In my case, I used the function which closes the modal pop up window.
.HTML file
<div class="slds-p-around_medium">
    <lightning-record-form object-api-name="Tissue_Log__c" record-id={recordId} columns="2" mode="edit"
        layout-type="Full" onsuccess={handleSuccess} oncancel={customHideModalPopup}>
     </lightning-record-form>
</div>

.js file
    @track customFormModal = false;
    customShowModalPopup() {
        this.customFormModal = true;
    }
    customHideModalPopup() {
        this.customFormModal = false;
    }

General Stocks Drift Higher; S&P 500 Holds On to 2,000
Stocks Drift Higher; S&P 500 Holds On to 2,000
Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 9:50 pm | א' אלול תשע"ד
NEW YORK (AP) -
Even in a daylong sideways drift, the Standard & Poor's 500 index managed to eke out its third record close in three days.
U.S. stocks ended essentially flat on Wednesday after spending much of the day wavering between tiny gains and losses.
The S&P 500 notched a gain of one-tenth of a point over the day before, extending its rise for the week.
Overall trading volume was about one-third below the recent average, reflecting an absence of major market-moving news and the approaching Labor Day holiday weekend.
It was a sharp contrast to the day before, when the S&P 500 closed above 2,000 for the first time.
"Having achieved this 2,000 level, the market is simply taking a pause, catching its breath," said David Lebovitz, global market strategist at JPMorgan Chase.
U.S. stock futures pointed to a mixed opening in premarket trading Wednesday. The major stock indexes opened slightly higher, with the S&P 500 index at 2,001 points.
Early on, investors largely had their eye on company earnings. Retailers Express and Tiffany & Co. were among the companies to post better-than-expected results. Express' shares surged 12.7 percent, adding $1.86 to $16.45., while Tiffany rose 98 cents to $101.75.
Stocks declined shortly afterward, then recovered, only to waver through small gains and losses through much of the day.
The S&P 500 rose 0.10 of a point to 2,000.12.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 15.31, or 0.1 percent, to 17,122.01. The Nasdaq composite fell 1.02 points to 4,569.62.
The Dow is 16 points shy of its own record closing high set July 16. The Nasdaq is still well below its dot-com era record.
Major U.S. indexes are riding a three-week streak of gains and are up for the year.
Investors have been encouraged in recent weeks by strong corporate earnings and data that point to a strengthening economy after a sluggish start to the year. The trend has helped extend a five-year bull market, lifting indexes to new records this year.
It's likely that trading will continue to thin further in the next couple of days as more investors get in vacation mode for the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Before that, however, the market will get a look at a few more economic barometers.
On Thursday, the Commerce Department delivers its latest estimate of how much the U.S. economy grew in the second quarter. Economists are looking for 3.9 percent growth after a decline of 2.1 percent in the first quarter.
New figures on personal income and spending and on how consumers feel about the economy are due out on Friday.
Among stocks making moves Wednesday:
— Best Buy notched the biggest gain among companies in the S&P 500, adding $1.89, or 6.3 percent, to $31.69.
— U.S. medical device maker Medtronic bought privately held Italian company NGC Medical S.p.A. for $350 million. NGC manages cardiovascular suites, operating rooms and intensive-care units for hospitals. Medtronic already held a 30 percent stake in the business. Medtronic slipped 25 cents to $63.27.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.36 percent. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 2 cents to $93.88 a barrel in New York. In metals trading, gold fell $1.80 to $1,283.40 an ounce, silver rose 2 cents to $19.41 an ounce and copper fell a penny to $3.18 a pound.

Q: What to use as hover effect for an image? I want to achieve the following hover effect on my portfolio elements -
link with before and after.
I am using Bootstrap with Masonry so the HTML for the original image is looking like that:

I can use jQuery .hover() function to swap the image source and also I was thinking for the heading and button to have the two elements hidden before the hover event like following:
HTML

AncaGV Blog

        <button></button>

jQuery
$('.item img').hover(function(){
    $(this).attr('src','portfolio3b.jpg');
    $(this).next().slideToggle('slow');
});

Please note that I've just write the code here, haven't tested yet because I want to ask if there is a possibility to use CSS for the shadow effect instead of swaping the image sources.
Also, if someone could suggest maybe a better aproach regarding the heading and the button I would be more than glad to try it out. For now I am thinking to hide the div and position it over the bottom of the image.

A: Go with :hover. If anything can be done by CSS, don't turn to JavaScript.
For example:
img {
    background: url("img.png");
}

Ideally, you should use CSS sprites for icons, flags and/or any "smaller images", by setting the background-position.
More on CSS Sprites.

A: Pure CSS way of solving the hidden captions:
.item img + div {
    display: none;
}

.item img:hover + div {
    display: block;
}

.item:hover img + div {
    display: block;
}

Codepen example
Changing the source of the image would be something like:
HTML:

AncaGV Blog

        <button>Hi!</button>

CSS:
#portfolio-item-1 {
    background-image: url('img.png');
}
#portfolio-item-1:hover {
    background-image: url('img-hover.png');
}

A few days ago Russian customers purchased wood-fired boilers for center heating.
Russia is indispensable for heating boilers in cold regions, but heating boilers for heating oil or heating gas boilers requires a lot of money, and wood is a good choice for heating boilers as cheap energy. Biomass-fired boilers can burn wood, sawdust, garbage, etc. Therefore, choosing a biomass fired boiler for heating is a wise choice.
1. Full combustion: In the structural design of the biomass fired boiler, the reciprocating grate is used, and a very reasonable secondary air is arranged at the same time, which is beneficial to the full combustion of the biomass fuel.
3, high degree of automation, no labor costs: Biomass boiler using digital integrated controller, according to user settings automatically control the combustion conditions, the operation is simple and convenient, automatic ignition, automatic feeding, automatic cleaning, saving labor costs.
4. Low operating costs: Biomass pellets are new environmentally friendly fuels that are internationally supported and promoted, and are renewable resources. With high calorific value, low cost, and a wide range of sources, in the long run, biomass boilers have lower operating costs.
6. After the combustion of biomass energy, the ash is a high-quality organic potash fertilizer that can bring some benefits to the enterprise and also help the comprehensive recycling of resources.

Only parents are capable of understanding the fear that accompanies the thought of their children reaching driving age. For many, that fear is enough to cause them to forbid their teenagers from sliding behind the wheel at all. But is taking such a hard line approach against letting your kids become teen drivers? Not exactly. Especially since there are ways that you can tell if your child is mature enough for the responsibility. Here are five questions to ask yourself about your child to determine if they're ready to drive.
How well does your teenager adhere to his or her curfew?
If they're consistently late coming home after an evening spent with friends, this is clear indication that their maturity level isn't quite up to snuff with the rules and regulations they'll be asked to adhere to on the road.
Does your teenager do well in school?
While it's true that intelligence is no barometer of a person's ability to drive well and to drive safely, this is something to consider. Depending on the level of aptitude your teenager displays in certain subjects, you might take this as indication as to whether they're capable of adequately tackling the sometimes complex rules of the road. If your teenager is perfectly intelligent but just doesn't apply him or herself to school work, take this as a sign that it may be a few years yet before they can safely be given the privilege of driving.
What kind of company does your teenager keep?
Distractions on the road are one of the main causes of car accidents, and there's nothing quite as distracting as driving around with a bunch of rowdy friends. This isn't meant to say that only teenagers with few friends should be allowed to drive – but the behavior of your teen's friends (as well as your teen's behavior around their friends) will give you an idea of the kinds of distractions they may encounter when driving.
How attached is your teen to their phone?
If they're constantly walking around with their head in their phone, take this as a sign that this activity will very likely translate itself to their driving habits. And then bear in mind that texting while driving has been shown to be as dangerous as driving while drunk.
How good is your teen about volunteering for chores around the house?
This may cause some of you to chuckle – but there are kids out there who feel that as a resident of the household, it's their duty to pitch in. If your teenager is given to helping around the house without having to be told, threatened, or manipulated into doing so, you're lucky. And you're also the parent of a teenager who's probably mature enough to be driving.
As a parent, it's your responsibility to determine if your teenager is ready to take on the huge responsibility that comes with getting a driver's license. If you feel that they're not ready to drive, don't hesitate to "hit the brakes" (see what we did there?) on their desire to leap headlong into young adulthood.

This week marked the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Wilderness Act. Here is an interactive graphic showing the designation of wilderness areas from 1964 to the present. The significance of wilderness preservation may have a link to the other anniversary this week, the demise of the Passenger Pigeon. As climate change and a biodiversity crisis loom, federal agencies are increasingly faced with the question of how much to intervene to prevent extirpations in wilderness areas.
Here is an interview with the head of the National Park Service on the future of wilderness.
A federal judge ruled this week that BP deserved most of the blame for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.

Martha in 1911. From Arbor Day and Bird Day (1922).
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon. Martha likely hatched in captivity sometime in the 1880s and at some point landed in a small collection of Passenger Pigeons at the Cincinnati Zoo. In 1910, she became the last pigeon left in their collection, and by her death in 1914, she was the last known Passenger Pigeon in captivity or in the wild.
In truth, Passenger Pigeons had been extinct in the wild for some time. The last recorded sighting was a wild pigeon shot in Ohio in 1900. By then the species had already been scarce for about a decade.
This was all the more shocking because Passenger Pigeons had once been so abundant, with a total North American population numbering in the billions. Early ornithologists such as John James Audubon remarked on the vast migratory flocks that could take days to pass. The pigeons bred around the Great Lakes region in vast communal nesting colonies. As late as the mid-19th century, Passenger Pigeons were still abundant. However, changes in technology made it easier for market hunters to locate flocks and nesting colones and ship thousands of carcasses to cities for sale as food.
The rapid decline and extinction of the Passenger Pigeon that followed was one of several events that inspired the early conservation movement. Federal laws such as the Lacey Act of 1900 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 were too late to help the Passenger Pigeon but have protected other birds since then. They, along with the Endangered Species Act, can continue to protect birds (and other wildlife) as long as their protections remain in place and are enforced. The anniversary of Martha's death should serve as a reminder that no matter how secure or abundant a species may appear, it can disappear rapidly under the right combination of circumstances.

Singer George Michael
Singer George Michael's 16th century house sold for £3.4 mn
Agencies | Updated: Aug 14, 2019, 06:00 IST
The Oxfordshire home
Fans had asked that it be turned into a museum in his memory
LONDON George Michael's British house has sold for £3.4million, three years after the singer died there on Christmas Day. It was bought by a couple last month, Land Registry documents show.
At the weekend coach loads of tourists were still visiting the 16th century property in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. But the path outside was free from floral tributes after the former Wham! star's family pleaded with fans earlier this year to stop leaving them there and at his home in Highgate, North London.
Lawyer John Reid, who acts for George's family and estate, said: "We can confirm that we have now sold George's former home in Goringon-Thames. It was a place that he loved, not least for the privacy that it afforded him. We would therefore kindly ask that the new owners have their privacy respected and are able to enjoy the property as he did." The new family are thought to be local to the area.
Achange.org petition urging George's family to turn the house into a museum got 2,500 signatures. Fans are now divided over the sale.
George, 53, was found dead in his bedroom by partner Fadi Fawaz on Christmas Day in 2016.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet headed by PM Narendra Modi has posted BVR Subrahmanyam, a 1987-batch IAS officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre, as chief secretary to the J&K government.
During the security review, Vohra called for constant vigil on the IB and LoC, tightening of internal security and sought the safety of protected persons, sensitive establishments and installations.
On the first day of Governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, NN Vohra held meetings with administrative officials and security establishment in secretariat despite a state holiday. He also put in abeyance all orders passed on June 19 by the PDP-BJP government.
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has posted BVR Subrahmanyam, a 1987-batch IAS officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre, to the Jammu and Kashmir government. He will be the new chief secretary of the state.
The governor has appointed incumbent chief secretary BB Vyas and retired IPS officer Vijay Kumar, presently serving as senior security adviser in the Union home ministry, as advisors. In 2016, Vohra appointed two retired IAS officers — Parvez Dewan and Khurshid Ganai — as his advisors. Dewan took premature retirement as Union tourism secretary in 2014, Ganai retired as chairman of Bureau of Public Enterprises.
During his meeting with the bureaucrats, the governor asked the secretaries to send him reports on progress of Prime Minister's Development Programs of 2015, the flagship central schemes, construction of bunkers in villages located along the IB and LoC, payment of relief to the victims of border firing at IB/LOC and also sought status of preparations for holding panchayat and municipal elections. He also sought information on compassionate appointment cases under SRO-43 and other important issues.
He asked the chief secretary for department-wise lists of all pending cases and told him to forward the same to him with his remarks regarding the reasons for delay by June 21.
"The responsibility of the administration has increased in the absence of an elected government. It is therefore your duty to provide clean, efficient governance and be acceptable to the people," the governor was quoted as saying in the meeting.
The meeting also reviewed important security-related issues in regard to the Amarnath Yatra that is scheduled to commence on June 28 and identified certain issues which should be dealt with on urgent basis.

Global Energy Perspectives
Discover the hidden potential of methane (and how to unlock it)
Methane doesn't have to go to waste. It can be used for power.
Reducing methane emissions by 45% by 2030 is critical for limiting global heating to 1.5°C.
Two key sources of methane-related emissions come from landfill sites as well as gas flaring in oil and gas operations.
According to the EPA, the methane emissions from landfills in 2019 were approximately equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from more than 21.6 million passenger vehicles driven for one year—or the CO2 emissions from nearly 12 million homes. And globally, 145 billion cubic metres of natural gas is wasted through flaring – the burning of excess gas – each year, producing over 1bn tonnes of methane.
But we can repurpose methane and actually use it to power operations. In fact, if all flared gas was turned into power-generating fuel it could generate roughly 750 billion kWh of electricity a year. Similarly, we can trap methane emissions from landfill sites and feed it to biogas plants to generate power
This whitepaper delves into what this involves and why it's beneficial, outlining:
Why methane emissions are so harmful;
The main sources of emissions as things stand;
How forward-thinking organisations are unlocking methane's hidden potential;
The environmental and economic benefits that this brings.

There's more than just secret alien pilots to unlock in Into The Breach. If you're tough enough to complete every challenge, then you can unlock a Secret Squad of Mechs in the Hangar. This group is pretty special — they're a mechanical, cybernetic-hybrid team of Vek insects. They're kind of like Mecha-Godzilla, but bugs.
They're also one of the best end-game squads available. While they start off weak, their damage output becomes pretty gnarly once you get enough Power Cores to upgrade them. They can be placed in Custom Squads like any other mech, and the team starts out with two direct-damage attackers — that only do one damage per attack. They look completely awesome, and that's reward enough.
To unlock the Secret Squad, you'll need to complete basically every challenge in the game.
Earn a 4 Island Hard Difficulty victory.
The "Secret Squad" at the bottom of the Hangar will appear.
The Secret Squad costs 25 coins.
That's a huge amount of coins. There are 55 achievements in the game, and each one gives you one coin. If you skip the rest of the official main squads, you can get the Secret Squad a little earlier — but, you also need to unlock squads to get more challenges / achievements for more coins. Really, you need to unlock all the other squads first, then complete all the achievements to get 25 coins.
The hardest coin to earn is probably from the "Distant Friends" achievement. To earn it, you'll need to find one of the alien pilots — and to do that, you'll need to scan every map for a yellow beacon. It can appear on the ground, inside mountains, or in the ice — but only if there isn't already a future pod in the level. If there is no future pod, play on Easy and spend a lot of time cracking open mountains to search for yellow beacons. After recovering the beacon, an FTL pod will land and you'll unlock an alien pilot.
Let's get into the Vek Squad. This is definitely a squad designed for experienced players only. They have low attack in the early game, but can be upgraded into true monsters by the end.
The Techno-Beetle is the toughest with 3 health — the others only have 2 health. The Hornet flies by default and can move four spaces. They have secondary weapons by default that you can unlock with one Power Core each, so acquiring Power Cores is essential to victory for this team. It also turns them from weak starters into god-like end-game mechs. If you've got the patience, this team is great for future Hard Mode runs.

xCloud has a Beefy Library Ahead of Android Launch
Sep 15, 20 | posted by Alex (2382)
Microsoft's xCloud is coming to Android phones and tablets.
The service will allow Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to play over 150 titles on their Android devices via streaming, allowing for a console experience while on the go (providing you have an internet connection).
Previously xCloud was available through the Xbox Insider Program with only a handful of games to choose from. The preview was for iOS users too, but the launch is shunning the App Store due to Apple's policies regarding reviewing games.
Games available on the service consist of the Xbox Game Pass libary, meaning games will come and go just like they do on Game Pass. It's unclear whether Microsoft will consider adding games not available on Game Pass.
You can depend on Xbox Games Studios titles sticking around however, as Microsoft has added a number of high profile studios to their umbrella in recent years, including the likes of Rare, Obsidian Entertainment and Double Fine Productions. It's safe to say future Xbox Game Studios titles will be available on the service.
In order to get started with xCloud you'll need an device running Android 6 or greater, along with Bluetooth version 4 or more. When streaming the games, you'll need 5Ghz WiFi or 10Mbps download on mobile data. Finally, for playing, you'll need an Xbox controller or a compatible Bluetooth controller.
Will you be using xCloud? Let us know in the comments.
