Q: Test ILogger with FakeItEasy I'm working on a fun project for myself to learn blazor, a lot of core concepts and just general practice.
I'm trying to implement logger extension for FakeItEasy to easier test Microsofts ILogger.
Based on https://dev.azure.com/BrideButler/Bride%20Butler%20Open%20Source/_git/FakeItEasy.DotnetCore.LoggerExtensions?path=%2FFakeItEasy.DotnetCore.LoggerExtensions%2FLoggerExtensions.cs but now trying to get it to work for .NET 5.
Now that FormattedLogValues is internal this code doesn't work anymore.
The goal is to have something like this in my test (and not use Moq)
 _logger.VerifyLog(LogLevel.Information, "Get Weather Called").MustHaveHappenedOnceExactly();
or A.CallTo(() => _logger.Log(LogLevel.Information, "Get Weather Called").MustHaveHappenedOnceExactly(); It doesn't have to have syntactic sugar but I would like to get it to work with FakeItEasy instead of Moq.
Below is all the involved code. Ofcourse I see some difference in the first line Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger.Log1[System.Object]vsMicrosoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger1[Server.Controllers.WeatherForecastController].Log1[Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.FormattedLogValues]` but I've no clue how to "fix" this since I dont fully understand what is going wrong.
My question is obviously, what should I do to fix it, but also curious what part i'm missing.
My error is the following:
  Assertion failed for the following call:
        Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger.Log`1[System.Object]
        (
            logLevel: Information,
            eventId: <Ignored>,
            state: <e => e.ToString().Contains(value(Server.Tests.Extensions.LoggerExtensions+<>c__DisplayClass2_0`1[Server.Controllers.WeatherForecastController]).message)>,
            exception: <Ignored>,
            formatter: <Ignored>
        )
      Expected to find it once exactly but didn't find it among the calls:
        1: Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger`1[Server.Controllers.WeatherForecastController].Log`1[Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.FormattedLogValues]
        (
            logLevel: Information,
            eventId: 0,
            state: [[{OriginalFormat}, Get Weather Called]],
            exception: NULL,
            formatter: System.Func`3[Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.FormattedLogValues,System.Exception,System.String]
      )

A: After reading https://stackoverflow.com/users/4728685/pavel-anikhouski comment on the post. I "got" what was wrong. Went to countless topics and made a solution that "works" tho probably could use some better coding standards. Hope it helps anyone else!
Edit: Some explaining.
Found this github comment that is the base of the solution. Then found this github pr where they mentioned to change Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.FormattedLogValues to IReadOnlyList<KeyValuePair<string, object>>
This can be extracted from GetArgument(2). (Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63701968/1112413)
  public static class LoggerExtensions
    {
        public static void VerifyLogMustHaveHappened<T>(this ILogger<T> logger, LogLevel level, string message)

            {
                logger.VerifyLog(level, message)
                    .MustHaveHappened();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                throw new ExpectationException($"while verifying a call to log with message: \"{message}\"", e);
            }
        }

        public static void VerifyLogMustNotHaveHappened<T>(this ILogger<T> logger, LogLevel level, string message)
        {
            try
            {
                logger.VerifyLog(level, message)
                    .MustNotHaveHappened();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                throw new ExpectationException($"while verifying a call to log with message: \"{message}\"", e);
            }
        }

        public static IVoidArgumentValidationConfiguration VerifyLog<T>(this ILogger<T> logger, LogLevel level, string message)
        {
            return A.CallTo(logger)
                .Where(call => call.Method.Name == "Log"
                    && call.GetArgument<LogLevel>(0) == level
                    && CheckLogMessages(call.GetArgument<IReadOnlyList<KeyValuePair<string, object>>>(2), message));
        }

        private static bool CheckLogMessages(IReadOnlyList<KeyValuePair<string, object>> readOnlyLists, string message)
        {
            foreach(var kvp in readOnlyLists)
            {
                if (kvp.Value.ToString().Contains(message))
                {
                    return true;
                }
            }

            return false;
        }
    }

A: Based on the same comments of Github
I ended up with a solution like that:
public class MyClassWithLoggerTests
{
    private readonly MyClassWithLogger _sut;
    private readonly ILogger<MyClassWithLogger> _logger;

    public MyClassWithLoggerTests()
    {
        this._logger = A.Fake<ILogger<MyClassWithLogger>>();
        this._sut = new MyClassWithLogger(this._logger);
    }

    [Fact]
    public ATestMethodTitle()
    {
        this._sut.MethodToTest();
        A.CallTo(_logger).Where(
                call => call.Method.Name == "Log" && call.GetArgument<LogLevel>(0) == LogLevel.Information) // Modify with your type of log
            .MustHaveHappened(1, Times.Exactly); // Modify with the number of times log is called
    }
}


The Federal Communications Commission is moving towards allowing the use of cell phones on airplanes. Many of us have known for a long time that their use poses no safety issues (yes the government does sometimes—how shall I say it in a way that will not attract NSA attention—misrepresent things). The FCC's ruling rests on whether it would be good or nice for us to be able to use them. Whether we want our government to establish rules on what is nice public behavior is one of those issues that help define and reflect differing attitudes toward the desirable (not to mention, because it seems largely irrelevant these days, constitutional) role of government.
As I write this note, it seems that the FCC is moving towards a compromise ruling that would allow the use of phones and other electronic devises (Mac, iPad, etc – yes I am an Apple fan) for internet access to email, text messages, and web surfing but not talking. This strikes me as odd in that it has been possible to do that for some years now. I have used the service (for a fee) to send and receive email on Delta and other planes with the equipment: http://www.gogoair.com/gogo/splash.do. Oh well.
I cringe when people base their views on whether government should control certain behaviors (pot smoking, public profanity, talking lauding in public etc) on whether such behavior is good or bad for the person doing it. For me the test (along with the constitution) is whether my behavior endangers other people. Thus the issue of whether secondary smoke is harmful and if so should be banned in the workplace, for example, is a legitimate public policy concern. The outcome should rest on the facts; is it harmful to third parties or not.
I would not like for people to talk on their cell phones on planes, but am appalled by the idea that the government would not allow airlines to set their own policies in this regard. I don't like talking on planes in any form. I have not talked to anyone on a plane other than the flight crew for many years. No government ruling caused this or is desired. Somehow I have been able to successfully and without words communicate to anyone next to me that I do not want to talk. My loss, I am sure, but it is fortunately still my choice.
I am reminded of a flight home from a wonderful European vacation with my son, Brandon, years ago. The man and woman behind us were chattering away and their conversation became more and more homophobic. My son finally turned around and said, "Would you please shut up." Those lobbying the FCC to forbid phone calls on planes should probably include fines for offensive speech on planes or in other public places (the First Amendment be damned). Those, like me, who prefer a more limited, less intrusive government, prefer to rely on common courtesy as it evolves through private interactions. Perhaps because I am the oldest of my siblings I never liked the idea of a Big Brother.

I suspect that most airlines don't want to encourage talking on cell phones but are afraid that some competitors would allow it. So they lobbied the FCC to ban using cells for talking.

The end result? Eerily similar eyebrows to former Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
"John Howard energy," yelled Bachelor star Abbie Chatfield, who was complimenting Toni's new look.
"I kissed John Howard on the side of the face," confessed Jess. "Do you know what he tasted like? Soap. He must scrub his face with soap so hard."
The radio host explained that it was when Mr Howard was Prime Minister, and that it was her Facebook profile picture for a long time.

Speaking to Woman's Day on Monday, Toni revealed that she engages in at-home workouts and healthy eating.
"When I can't afford the gym I'll walk, do weights at home, swim, stretch … I love sweets so the key is to not have chocolate or any sweets in the house!" she said.
"I love a glass of red wine but one glass is all I can really tolerate."
"I'm lucky I've always loved exercise and I love to cook so I take great care to eat as healthy as I can, but it's not an obsession."

Q: Openjpa generate entities from table skips one column I have a table with following schema (for keeping logs):
* BIGINT ID
* TIMESTAMP TIME
VARCHAR(255) NULLABLE COMMENT
VARCHAR(255) DESCRIPTION
INTEGER NULLABLE AFFECTED_OBJECT_ID

When I generate entity for table it results in :
@EmbeddedId
private HistoryPK id;

private String comment;
private String description;
...
getters/setters
...

I use RAD  8.5.5.1, that built on top of Eclipse Platform 3.6.3. Database is DB2 9.1.
Somehow AFFECTED_OBJECT_ID is not translated to the entity. What can fix it? (I know that I can fix this manually in code, but I really want to trust my IDE) Or may be I'm doing something wrong?
I tried disconnecting and connecting again to database, no avail.

A: Cleaning project did fixed it.

Q: Getting NullPointerException while reading Sqlite database I have to read values from  SQLite database but getting NullPointerException when I execute
   private final String DB_NAME = "UserDb";
   private final String TABLE_NAMES = "tbluser";
   SQLiteDatabase sampleDB;
   Cursor c=null;
   String deviceDec;
   c= sampleDB.rawQuery("SELECT * from " +TABLE_NAMES+" where did='"+deviceDec+"' ",null);

Please suggest me why I am getting the exception because in one function it is running but in other it is not and also I am getting the deviceDec value that I have checked in Log.

A: May be your sampleDB; is null.
so first you have init that object like as
SQLiteDatabase sampleDB = new SQLiteDatabase(Your Param);

A: you need to initiate DB..
SQLiteDatabase sampleDB=context.getReadableDatabase();

A: open database before selecting data from it.
public SQLiteDatabase openDataBase() throws SQLException {
    String myPath = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;
    myDataBase = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(myPath, null,
            SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READWRITE);

    return myDataBase;
}

this will return dataabase.. and then use
returnedDb.rawQuery("");

Iowa soldier dies on rescue mission in Afghanistan
April 24, 2011 By Dar Danielson
Staff Sergeant James Justice
A spokesman for the Iowa National Guard says one soldier died and one was injured during while trying to save fellow soldiers during a rescue mission Saturday in Afghanistan.
Colonel Greg Hapgood says 32-year-old Staff Sergeant James Justice of Grimes died and 21-year-old Specialist Zachary Durham of Des Moines was injured as they helped the pilots of a downed helicopter in the Kapisa Province near the Pakistani border.
Hapgood says Sergeant Justice and Specialist Durham were part of a "quick reaction force" that was routed to the scene to help rescue the pilots. He says the two soldiers landed in their helicopter at the landing zone and came under enemy small arms fire, and Sergeant Justice was killed and Specialist Durham was injured.
Hapgood says Durham is undergoing treatment at the Bagram hospital. Justice and Durham are part of the First Squadron 113th Calvary that is stationed at Camp Dodge. He says they don't know what caused the helicopter to go down, and says it was a matter of timing that the two Iowa soldiers were called to respond.
He says the quick reaction force is something that is often appointed ahead of time for a particular day, and in this particular case the Iowans were available and in the closest proximity to the incident and were called upon to respond immediately.
Specialist Zachary Durham
Hapgood says this area of Afghanistan is one that is particularly dangerous. Hapgood says there is a lot of activity anywhere in the Pakistani border area right now and a downed helicopter is a "magnet for insurgent or Taliban forces to have an opportunity to harm Americans or destroy important equipment."
Justice was born in Manning and graduated from Irwin-Kirman-Manilla High School in 1997. He was a full-time guard member, and Hapgood says he had just joined the unit in March after they requested someone with his type of experience.
Sergeant First Class Kevin Schaefer was a friend of Justice's and said he was ready to go overseas as soon as he was asked. "One of his goals was to get onto this deployment," Schaefer said, "we would talk repeatedly in the office, that he wanted to get into the fight, and he was working toward that goal, and they needed him, and he jumped on it and said 'take me'."
Schaefer says he was a great guy who was a Hawkeye fan who liked to joke around. Schaefer says Justice's nickname was "Juice" and everybody called him that. He says they had running joke between the two of them where Justice would come into Schaefer's office and look at his Iowa State diploma and make a point of staring at it before saying "I knew there's something wrong with you."
Schaefer says he would in turn tell Justice something he couldn't repeat in public and tell him to get out of his office. He says this happened on a regular basis. Justice is survived by a wife and three-year-old daughter.
He is the third Iowa National Guard soldier to be killed this month in Afghanistan.
The family of Staff Sgt. James A. Justice issued the following statement:
"James Alan Justice meant many things to every person he encountered. He was the funny best friend named "Juice" that could be counted on when needing to be cheered up; the uncle who always knew just what to say and when to hand out hugs; the son who was his parents' pride and joy; the father who loved his little girl more than anything in the world and couldn't wait to have more children; and the husband who loved to put a smile on his wife's face. One thing James was to everyone was the ultimate soldier. He loved the military and he looked forward to every deployment. While we were stunned and extremely saddened to learn of his tragic death, we all take solace knowing that James died doing what he loved best: serving his country beside the men and women he revered and trusted.
Through his four tours of duty, James had many accomplishments but above all, he made life-long friendships. The outpouring of support and prayers during this time from friends, fellow Soldiers and strangers alike has been astonishing, but proved what we all knew: that James was a one-of-a-kind guy and deeply loved by all who had the opportunity to know him and serve with him. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Iowa National Guard for the opportunities they have provided to James over the past 13 years. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge all of his fellow Iowa National Guard Soldiers both at home and serving overseas. May God be with you always.
We are sure that you can understand and will honor our request for family privacy at this time, as we are focused on working with military officials to return James' body home for military service and burial. We thank you for your thoughts, prayers and kindness at this extremely difficult time. We are deeply saddened by our loss, but extremely proud of the honorable way he served America as a leader in the U.S. Army. We will remember him, his strength, his infectious sense of humor, his faith in God, and his love for his family, friends and country with great pride."

Oh, don't roll your eyes at me, we all are guilty of doing it at least once-driving and chatting on our cell phones, even (gasp), dare I say it: texting. It's bad enough when you see the soccer moms screeching down the road in their minivans and SUVs with their cell phones planted against their faces, but when you see a fellow motorcycle rider doing it, it just makes you want to go Barney Fife and pull them over for a stern sister-to-sister talking to. Come on, this is a huge monster machine that you are sitting astride. You should be paying attention to your bike and your surroundings, not chatting on the phone.
No one is saying that you should not have your cell phone with you. In fact, it should be one of the first things that you grab when you head out the door. It is a valuable safety tool, especially for the solo motorcycle rider. But it can turn from helpful tool to harmful hindrance when you are fumbling to answer a call and not watching what is coming up ahead of you. You flipped the lady in the powder blue Prius off for this very thing yesterday and now here you are doing the exact same thing. Don't be a hypocrite. If you need to answer a call, or make a call or (double gasp) read a text, then pull over and stop to do it.
There is research that suggests that driving while on the phone, even while using a hands-free device, may be as dangerous as being under the influence or being very tired. But hardly any of the research gives numbers for motorcycle riders. Is it because the women on motorcycles are that much less likely to grab their cell when it rings? That women bikers have never texted as they tooled on down the road? Yeah, right, that's why. The fact of the matter is simple: We all do it and we all need to stop it. Case closed.
By all means take your cell phone with you when you go, especially if you are riding alone. Being safe means many things while you are on the bike, and part of that safety is being prepared. If something happens to you, you want to have your phone with you so that you can call for help. Otherwise, either pull over to make a call or wait until you get where you are going.
Stopping in the middle of the highway may not be an option, so that phone call is going to have to wait because you can't put your life and the life of others on the road at risk simply because that super special guy has just called you. Let Romeo keep waiting because you are a heck of a lot more fun if you don't have a wrecked bike and a wicked case of road rash to contend with.

Today, whilst human minds fixate on the financial 'crisis' and channel unprecedented resources into keeping pathological markets afloat, the real crisis goes unchecked. It is nature that really needs the bailout. 65 million years ago it wasn't the impact of the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. It was the ecological changes that occurred as a result of the long, nuclear winter that followed. Massive plant eating dinosaurs starved after plants withered and soon so too did their predators. The tiny shrew-like early mammals we are descended from probably survived the long darkness by gnawing on the fetid flesh of the multifarious dead behemoths. If humans do not wake up out of this mass, suicidal hallucination and start apportioning a proportional value to their life support system it may be the cockroaches who survive the dark of our nuclear winter by gnawing on the dead bodies of people laid strewn through the wreckage of civilization. Maybe the roach descendents will learn from our ruins and exist for long enough to seize life's opportunities and increase exploration of (both internal and external) space?
Although the trends today are apocalyptic, the solutions to the biodiversity crisis are well understood. The way to stop species going extinct is to preserve their habitats. The only effective way of preserving habitats is by creating large nature reserves that are off-limits to human exploitation. We could imagine a future sustainable world in which human cities, towns and farms are nestled within an international network of mega-wildlife corridors which are large enough to allow for terrestrial species migrations. Huge human-free marine zones are also required. The Blue Whale: endangered To secure these vital eco-systems the human economy must acknowledge and respect limits to its prospecting of nature's bounty. Limiting human expansion isn't even on the table as an option as government's fall over each other to try and endlessly stimulate new economic growth. When will they see that as Edward Abbey says: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." And that growth that destroys life is actually death.


The article considers the concept of applying the multidimensional continuum model to one of the main problems emerging in the theory of large scale data array treatment i.e. forecasting the dynamics of data cluster change. The concept is based on the model of multidimensional continua in spaces of high dimensionality (more than three) earlier developed by the authors. The model includes the integral conservation laws, which are reformulated for informational data clusters, as well as the model of motion kinematics and cluster deformation. The model of deformable multidimensional cluster is developed. The movement of the cluster in multidimensional data space includes translational and rotational motion and uniform tension-compression strain. The system of differential tensor equations describing the dynamics of the deformable multivariate cluster motion over time is formulated. A numerical algorithm for solving the system of differential equations for the ellipsoidal model of multidimensional cluster is worked out. An example of the developed model application for predicting the dynamics of economic data (data on goods purchases in a large supermarket) is considered. The results of forecasting the data on purchases of different consumer groups are shown.
The article presents a suggested method of numerical finite-element solving the 'hole ovalization' problem. This method can be applied for experimental development of advanced aviation materials with the aim of determining structure element resistance against deforming with stress concentrators, mainly, connectors. The method is based on three-dimensional finite element solution of the problem of lastoplastic deformation of plates with a hole under crushing. It is appropriate for reduction of xperimental studies and replacing them by the numerical experiments. The Ilyushin model of small lastoplastic deformations has been used. The results of numerical simulation of a threedimensional stress-strain state of elastoplastic plates under crushing are presented as well as results of experimental nvestigations of deforming plates of Al-alloy 163. It is shown that the results of numerical and experimental modeling for deforming plates under crushing agree quite well.
In the article we propose an algorithm for the numerical simulation of conjugate gasdynamic and thermomechanical processes in composite structures of high-speed aircraft. The algorithm allows calculating all parameters of the three-dimensional gasdynamic flow near the surface of the aircraft, heat exchange on the surface, heat and mass transfer processes in the internal structure of thermodestructive polymer composite, as well as processes of composite construction thermodeformation, including the effects of changes in the elastic characteristics of the composite, variable thermal deformation, shrinkage caused by thermal degradation, building up interstitial gas pressure in the composite. An example of numerical simulation of conjugated processes in a model composite construction of high-speed aircraft illustrates the possibilities of the proposed algorithm.
modulus on vibration frequencies obtained through FEA calculations and rough mixed formulae. We show that rough mixed formulae, often used for calculating dissipative properties of composite materials, can yield appreciable calculation errors.
The article considers the modeling results of incompressible layered composites with finite strains deformation according to the individual layers characteristics. The article proposes an asymptotic averaging method version for layered nonlinearly elastic incompressible composites with finite deformations and periodic structure. We are using a universal representation of the defining relations for incompressible composite layers, proposed by Yu.I. Dimitrienko, which allows us to simulate simultaneously for a complex of various nonlinear elastic media models characterizedby the choice of a pair of energy tensors. We proved that if all composite layers are incompressible, the composite as a whole is also an incompressible, but anisotropic, medium. The article considers the problem of laminated plate uniaxial stretching from incompressible layers with finite deformations. Using the developed method, we calculated the effective deformation diagrams connecting the averaged Piola — Kirchhoff stress tensors components and the strain gradient, as well as the stress distribution in the composite layers.
The developed method for calculating effective deformation diagrams and stresses in composite layers can be used in the design of elastomeric composites with specified properties.
The finite element method is used to simulate the nonisothermal flow of non-Newtonian viscous fluids in complex geometries. The Carreau-Yasuda model of a non-Newtonian fluid is considered, in which the dependence of the viscosity coefficient on the second invariant of the strain rate tensor has a power form. A variational formulation of the problem of the motion of a non-Newtonian fluid for a plane case is obtained. The iteration algorithm of Newton-Raphson is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations system, and the Picard iteration algorithm is used to solve the energy equation. The problem of the movement of a polymer mass in a mold of complex variable cross section in the presence of an uneven temperature field is considered. With the help of finite element modeling, a numerical analysis of the effect of various parameters on the movement of a liquid and the heat transfer of a polymer material at different values of external pressure was carried out. It is shown that the nature of the motion of a non-Newtonian fluid essentially depends on the rheological properties of the fluid and the characteristics of the geometric shape, which must be taken into account in technological processes of plastics processing.

The previously developed general asymptotic theory of thin multilayer shells is used for the case of cylindrical shells. The ratios are presented in explicit analytical form for all six components of the stress tensor in a thin multilayer elastic cylindrical shell, depending on the deformations, curvatures of the middle surface of the shell, as well as their derivatives along the longitudinal coordinates. The obtained formulas make it possible to calculate all the distributions of the components of the stress tensor over the thickness in a cylindrical shell after finding solutions to the two-dimensional problem of the theory of KirchhoffLyav shells. An example is given of the calculation of stresses in a cylindrical composite shell underaxisymmetric bending by pressure. To calculate stresses by these formulas, only a differentiation of displacements is required - a deflection and two displacements of the middle surface of the shell, for which an analytical solution is obtained.

The article presents a model of microstructure of two-phase monocrystalline intermetallic alloys in the form of a periodic structure of the hexagonal type, as well as a mathematical model of elastic-plastic deformation of monocrystalline alloy, based on the method of asymptotic smoothing periodic structures. Deformation plasticity theory under loading is used for the phases with due regard for the effect of their damage level during loading. For numerical calculations of the developed model the heat-resistant monocrystalline alloy of the type VKNA-1V was used. Finite element calculations of deformation and fracture micromechanical processes in monocrystalline alloy of the type VKNA-1V were carried out. It was found that under tension maximum values of phase damagability, which determine the beginning of the alloy micro-fracture zone, are achieved in the areas adjacent to the phase interface and in areas of maximum curvature of the geometric shape of the phases. Calculations of heat-resistant alloy strain diagrams in plastic range are proved to be consistent with experimental data.
The purpose of this article is to propose a model of deformation of elastic-plastic composite materials with periodic structures with an allowance for fault probability of the composite phases. The model is based on a variant of the deformation theory of plasticity with the active loading. To simulate the effective characteristics of elastic-plastic composites, we applied the method of asymptotic homogenization of periodic structures. For numerical solution of linearized problems on the periodicity cell we offered the finite elements method using SMCM software medium developed at the Scientific-Educational Center of Supercomputer Engineering Modeling and Program Software Development of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. We provide the research with the examples of numerical computations for dispersion-reinforced metal composites (aluminum matrix filled with SiC particles). Finally, we present the results of numerical modeling of deformation processes, damage accumulation and metal-composite destruction.
A mathematical model for the multiscale process of filtration of weakly compressible liquids and gases in periodic porous media is proposed with reference to the process of composite material production based on the RTM method. Using the method of asymptotic averaging made it possible to formulate the so-called local filtration problems for a single pore and the global problem of unsteady filtration of weakly compressible liquids. Two models of a weakly compressible fluid are considered: classical and generalized. The classical model is based on the Musket's equation of the state, which requires initial constant values for fluid pressure and density to be preset. The generalized model is based on the same equation, but requires presetting only the initial fluid density, using the unknown hydrostatic pressure instead of the initial constant liquid pressure. The results of simulation of the impregnation process of a of filler material sample by a binder are presented using the two models of a weakly compressible liquid.

Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division Receives $2.6 Million Dollars in Grants to Help Those Affected by Opioid Addiction
By Danielle Miller
The Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division (BHD) received $2.6 million dollars in grants to help fund programs that assist those who suffer from opioid addiction in communities of Milwaukee. The two grants were from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services' State Target Response(STR) initiative will help BHD provide more programs and services for individuals who struggle with addiction and their families.
"The Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division plays a vital role in connecting individuals in our community with life changing behavioral health care," said Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele in a Press Release. "These grants will make it possible for us to connect more people with evidence-based and trauma informed programs and services to overcome addiction and strengthen their families."
The Milwaukee County Family Drug Treatment Court (FDTC) plans to put the SAMSHA grant into their programs over the next five years to better the substance abuse treatment services for FDTC participants and their families. Grant funds will be used to create a more concrete treatment continuum for court involved individuals who are in need treatment, ranging from drug use to mental illness.
"The Milwaukee County Family Drug Treatment Court is nationally recognized for its family-centered trauma informed approach, helping parents recover from substance use disorders while keeping families together when safe and appropriate," said the Milwaukee County Circuit Court Chief Judge Maxine Aldridge White in a press release.
Money from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, part of the State Targeted Reponses (STR) initiative funded by SAMHSA, will allow BHD to expand its AODA treatment and recovery services, adding 75 additional individuals on the AODA transitional residential waiting list. BHD treatment services include: Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), as well as access to residential treatment, recovery housing, day treatment, individual counseling, as well as more options to help those recovering from substance use.
"We know when we connect individuals to programs like Family Drug Treatment Court, they have access to the treatment, guidance and supports to make home a safe and permanent place for their children," said Mike Lappen, administrator for the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division said in a press release. "These programs stabilize homes and build healthy communities."
The Milwaukee County Family Drug Treatment Court started in May 2011, and was the first FDTC in the State of Wisconsin. The voluntary program helps clients get their children back who were taken away due to substance abuse. The program focuses on services to child and parent, counseling as well as other key practices to help treat substance abuse, trauma, and mental health.
The Milwaukee Behavioral Health Division (BHD) focuses on the behavioral health of community members through treatments for mental health disorders, substance abuse, and co-occurring illnesses by providing resources such as crisis services, community-based as well as hospital based services to provide a full range of options for those in the community who need it, regardless of a patient's budget or the severity of need.

Discussion in Stores Reviews, Comments & Complaints started by wallet • Jul 7, 2017.
It's a risk you have to be aware of when making the transaction as even though the price is hard to beat you may have the item fail after a few days.
@skinwants what items are you referring to? To me it sounds like used books which are available at lot cheaper price in my country which looks like almost new. Most students in our country know the resale value of their books so use them cautiously which keeps their resale value higher compared to carelessly used books.
Well I haven't seen a big store selling products with defects openly, but I think they subtly do this in the guise of having a "sale". If I will get to save that much then why not, right? After all it's just a dent. I'm not too picky with purchasing home appliances, although with gadets and other stuff, I'm more picky.
If I had known this trick before I could have done it as almost as everytime I shop for new household equipment that I can get my hands into. This way I could have save a lot on this "used but new items" as you did. Maybe I will try also to check if there are stores doing the same practice in my place.
Yes. That's a very clever thing to save a lot in my opinion. Beside, the quality is just the same so it's a win-win situation. You just have to make sure that a product warranty is included in case you found defects in your newly-bought product.
I think that buying used but new items is also a way to save the cost of item considering that it helps one to use the excess fund made from it in buying other things that might be needed at the home. I do such purchases most of the time and that goes from purchasing used clothes, but still new to buying some home appliances that are still new, but used. I must confess that it has been a way to save money for me.
I always look for the opportunities to save money. Therefore, I take interest in buying used items. However, when I am buying used items, I don't buy items that show too many signs of wear and tear. Therefore, I am more interested in "used but new" items. This term is generally applied for the ietms that were used but do now show any signs of wear and tear. However, I will never buy electronic ietms even if there is no scratch on the cover.
I have nothing against items with little defects. I actually really like them because when people see them as just a loss, some of us are going home with perfectly working machines at almost half-price. However, it takes a lot for a seller to actually convince me that the item is in good condition because as good as the price sounds, some sellers will use this opportunity to sell low quality items which have been used for years in the hope that some stingy character will fall in love with those products. It is important to have a keen eye and establish a limit to just how defective the products have to be in order to let them go.
I bought a tumble dryer which was 10 years old for £30 which is very cheap. I had it for another 15 years before it packed up and consider it to be one of the best buys I ever made.
Where I live there is a store called Waste Not Wanted Not. It sells used goods in really good condition at bargain prices. Even when I don't need anything I love to browse. If I get something at a bargain price and it works out well, I value it more than I would a new item.
Although I like to buy used items as it saves money, but I don't like them being spoilt or having little defect. I have had such experience before with a used television that latter stopped working within a month and I won't like such to happen again. So, am always careful not to buy any item that is spoilt or with a little defect.
It's okay for me to buy used items as long as it has no major issues or defects on those products. I have bought a lot of secondhand/used items recently and one of them is my phone. I bought an Iphone 6s recently and it is used but when I used it, it looks like brand new and it has no major issues on it. I like to buy used items because I can buy it at a reasonable and affordable price.
The Lowes chain of stores always has great bargains on these new items that are defective, but still operate just fine. if a refrigerator accidentally gets dented when it is being shipped to the store, people are less likely to pay full price for the dented one when they can get a shiny undesired one for the same price. So, the store marks down the price on the dented refrigerator, but it still has the same new item warranty a an indented one would have.
Also, sometimes people purchase an item and then they return it because it is not exactly what they wanted; so this item is then reduced in price and re-sold. it is still basically new, even though it is sold at the price of a used machine.
I think that this is a great way to save a lot of money and still have new appliances.
My daughter got a wonderful refrigerator-freezer for about $800, and it usually sold for almost $2000 new; but it was a return, and also had a dent in it.

Obituary Victor Margolin (1941-2019)
On November 27th, Victor Margolin (1941-2019) died in Washington. Margolin was a member of the Advisory Council of the Foundation and a well-known design historian in Spanish-speaking countries because he spoke Spanish and for the book Las políticas de lo artificial published by Editorial Designio in 2002. He was a true precursor to the history of design discipline in which he was able to take a doctorate in 1981, being one of the first full-time professors of this subject in the United States. He has taught since 1982 at the University of Illinois in Chicago of which he was currently Professor Emeritus. His written production was deep and rigorous highlighting his studies on Soviet graphic design and philosophy of history. In the eighties he was co-founder of Design Issues magazine that initiated the tradition of academic journals of project culture. His greatest and most ambitious work was a World History of Design whose third volume could not end because of a serious accident. Margolin was a progressive and committed intellectual, a true history activist who didn't miss a congress where he could support the nascent community of design historians and where his authoritative word was revered.

The Textile and Fashion Studies Group announces the II Colloquium of Researchers in Textile and Fashion, under the motto "Names in the Shadow"
Names in the Shadow
Design Museum of Barcelona
Check the Conferences program Programa II Coloquio and abstracts booklet AAFF_Nombres en la sombra
The Textile and Fashion Studies Group calls for the presentation of paper proposals for the II Colloquium of Researchers in Textile and Fashion that, under the motto "Names in the Shadow", wants to make visible unknown authors of the textile and fashion field.
The Textile and Fashion Studies Group, attached to the Fundación Historia del Diseño, wants to be an exchange space designed to promote research and knowledge dissemination in the fields of textiles and fashion through the development of joint projects. Likewise, it wants to ensure the conservation of the textile heritage, as well as public and private archives and collections. The Group aims to study the world of textiles and clothing from a multidisciplinary perspective that includes history, art, technology, sociology, design and museology. Some of the specific interests of its members are the raw materials, the textile design, the samples of industrial fabrics, the knitwear, the lace, the prints, the popular and theater costumes, innovative fabrics, textile collecting, creators and production companies, the fashion system, the means of diffusion and circulation of fashion, images, socio-economic history and the aesthetics of costumes, trade and international relations.
The Group announces the II Colloquium of Researchers in Textile and Fashion, with the theme "Names in the Shadow". In 2017 the I Colloquium took place with a large number of interesting papers that allowed researchers, in many cases working in isolation, to connect. In this second meeting, we want to put in value unknown authors for the first time, to bring to Textile and Fashion Studies with a new set of creators and professionals.
The aim is to bring to light interesting stories of professional careers of creators linked to the textile and fashion world, such as designers, printers, embroiderers, lacemakers, cartoonists, tailors and dressmakers or stylists. The stories must overcome the familiar and local framework and help us to build a new history with new protagonists that until now have not been studied or published. These names can be studied from history, art, sociology, anthropology or other disciplines.
Registration to the II Colloquium will be made later through the website of the History of Design Foundation (www.historiadeldisseny.org).

Phil Taylor hailed the Anthony Joshua of darts after Michael van Gerwen beat him to win the Premier League title. Van Gerwen added to his 2013 Premier League crown with a dominant showing at the O2 Arena on Thursday night, first beating Adrian Lewis in the semi-final before an 11-3 thrashing of The Power in the final.The Dutchman continues to sweep all before him and Taylor was quick to draw parallels with another dominant force in sport, the 16-time world champion admitting he was powerless to stop the Green Machine. He beat me up, he put me under pressure and he made me miss doubles. He is doing phenomenal things and I dont know how he does it, Taylor told Sky Sports.I tried to give it my best, I tried to relax and throw quicker or throw slower but I could not react against him. It is his finishing... his scoring is good but his finishing is phenomenal and that is where he hurts you.Its the combinations, its not just the one shot - he is like Anthony Joshua at the moment. Phil Taylor hailed phenomenal Michael van Gerwen I was gutted about last year but to get through to the semi-final in the league we have now is magnificent - we have got the best players I have ever been with. Ive been with them all, but these lads are different class.For Van Gerwen, it was a welcome return to the Premier League winners circle having only been victorious in the event once, despite four consecutive finishes at the top of the regular season standings.The Dutchman was playing in his fourth consecutive Premier League final and could not hide his delight at claiming the trophy again after a three-year gap. Premier League Finals Night recap A dramatic night at the O2 - as it happened I am glad I was the best tonight. I wanted to win back this trophy, and I am glad I took it back, Van Gerwen told Sky Sports.I only lost one game in the Premier League, against James Wade on the first night, and what can I say, it feels fantastic and I am over the moon to win the title.It was a while ago that I won it for the first time and I wanted to have it back. I have played strong in this tournament, Ive finished top of the table four years in a row and now I can hold the trophy for a second time. Losing finalist Phil Taylor says Michael van Gerwen put him under extreme pressure during his Premier League final and he could not match the Dutchman Vanquished semi-finalists Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson were in despondent mood after below-par showings in their semi-final defeats.World champion and defending Premier League champion Anderson was beaten by Taylor in the second semi-final but admitted he was far from his best and vowed to return stronger.Its really disappointing for me. I missed too many doubles and then when I got back at Phil, I just couldnt get level, but Ill be back.After the start I had to the season, I did well just to get to the Play-Offs, but when youre here, you want to win it and Ive not done that. Adrian Lewis was left to reflect on what might have been at The O2 For Lewis, who was beaten 10-4 by eventual winner Van Gerwen, he has promised to hit the practice room in a bid to improve for the months ahead,It was one of those nights for me, said Lewis. I felt like I threw good darts but they were landing just on the wrong sides of the wires, but Michael was the better man and deserved to win.Im proud to have reached the Play-Offs in such a competitive field, but I know Ive got more to give in the coming months and Ill get back on the practice board.

Turrentine Jones.....New Single...New gigs!
So someone's had their dad's old vinyl out and learned a valuable lesson.....Manchester band Turrentine Jones are producing 'authentic', old school thrashing guitar, sleazy vocalising organ thumping tunes.
No surprises they cite The Animals and The Doors as influences (you only have to scroll down their Facebook page to see them pay homage to some of the late and greats of music) and the good news is they're putting out material on a par with any of their illustrious predecessors. Proper tunes which, if you're old enough to remember The Sixties and the resurgence of Jazz/Rhythm & Blues you'll love it.....or if you're a shiny, bright young thing, you'll love it.....result!
The three-piece consist of lead singer and guitarist Julian Neville, drummer Chris Carcamo and Hammond organist Thomas Scotson and have spent the last 6 months creating their next release, only it's not one release, it's six.
Julian's thought's on it are....."We want our music to be accessible, easy to digest. We want people talking about us all year and listening to us all year. It's easier to share a track between friends than it is an album. Instead of releasing an album we will release a track every 2 months. It's exciting. Our fans can get new material from us all year".
The first of these is "Show Me Mercy", a coursing, edging number that permeates a sexual yearning, accompanied by sadness, which has become the nature of Turrentine Jones songs and Neville's lyrical writings. There's shades of early Manfred Mann and Spencer Davies there too all of which will lend to the across the board appeal of the track when it's released early November.
Le Debut's release found its place in the charts after its February 2012 release. The single 'Slam the Door' reached No. 13 on the Australian Music Charts, and was televised after the band performed live on Channel 4's Hit the Road Jack . It's an organ driven track with hint's of Booker T and the MG's Green Onions and as sleazy as you like.
More good things happening too with the band signing an endorsement deal with clothing brand OK Now and inking a deal with touring agency Spoilt Kid, which already houses the likes of Mike Joyce (The
Smiths), Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets), Bez (Happy Mondays) and Drew McConnell (Babyshambles) who recently did a stint with The Vaccines and I'll be taking a look at another of their acts, Gun Club Cemetery just shortly.
"There aren't too many bands in Manchester with that kind of street cred at the moment." - Sam Walker BBC Radio Manchester
Turrentine Jones now return with the next single 'Show Me Mercy', to be released on CD and 7" through one of Manchester's most exciting new labels Spoilt Kid. Having been tipped as ones to watch for 2012, the new single sees the Manchester threesome carry on their rich vein of form. Drawing on their flaring, sultry blues reference points such as The Animals, The Doors and Booker T & The MGs' the sleazy nature of earlier single 'Candy Snake' is stripped back just enough to reveal a rough sense of yearning.
'Show Me Mercy' was again recorded using analogue tape lending to their gutsy sound and will be available 2nd November. Ralph's had a sneak peak and it's mean and moody, down and dirty.....you're gonna love it!
The boys will be performing around the single's release date as follows:
Feb 02 Night and Day Manchester, United Kingdom RSVP Share
Feb 28 Secret Show Manchester, United Kingdom RSVP Share
Mar 02 Roadhouse Manchester, United Kingdom RSVP Share
Mar 09 Wheelbarrow Camden, United Kingdom RSVP Share

Several people have asked me over the last few days to post some full length images of the California sword and a picture of the blade. Here you go. Nothing fancy - I just set it down on my desk and took a couple of shots.
I also used the 3D model of the sword to generate a cross section of the fullered section of the blade. I'm still learning how to use the software (as well as the scanner), but you can orient the model in a box and then have it generate splines that section the object wherever you want. I'm working with raw data, so the model still has "holes" in it (hence the incomplete blade edges on the extracted splines. But I think you can still get a pretty good sense of the contours of the fullers.
Screen shot showing model oriented in box and placement of splines to be extracted (green lines) across fullered portion of blade.
Screen shot showing extracted splines superimposed on 3D model.
Screen shot showing fuller contours highlighted by extracted splines (green lines).
Screen shot showing splines extracted from fullered portion of blade.
I still want to know where this artifact came from too.
From the pictures it looks like the hilt had been attached to a fullered blade had broken. It does not look like a straight break, the central rib is sorter than those on the edges, so it is possible that someone took an original and created a mold, either using a flat blade to complete the length or maybe just carved it out that way. The mold for the CA sword may have been a steel blade on the fullered section, but could have been wood or almost anything else on the flat section, or nothing at all, just sword-shaped cavity where the rest of the blade would be cast.
I also think the original blade , the fullered part that is, was forged, not cast, and so was likely made of steel. SO what should we (you) be looking for?
The original, wherever it is, if it still exists, is probably a hilt attached to a broken blade (if the hilt was not later removed from the fullered blade fragment). If so, the broken sword might not be on public display any longer and may well be in a drawer in a museum archive. If you can, try asking to see items not on display. You might not be able to get there, but it is worth asking.
The Hilt? It might be brass, but it might also be wood, bone or ivory or some other material. It could be made of anything or a combination of materials.

Last night, I finally got the chance to go to my first Philadelphia Union soccer game with my family. There were tons of families at the game and the weather was absolutely perfect. I played soccer as a kid, but now that my son is in love with the sport, I've been learning so much more about the game and really enjoying it.
The Philadelphia Union stadium is really modern and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. We were in the corner towards the top, but we had a great view of the field. Sometimes, it can get overwhelming to take young kids to a huge stadium, but PPL Park is the perfect size and parking is convenient too. It's also really pretty at sunset. Look at the pink and purplish colored sky!
Another benefit to a smaller stadium is that we saw so many friends. We didn't plan on meeting up with anyone, but over the course of the night we saw 4 different families that we knew. This made it really fun for the kids because they had a chance to watch the game with their buddies. Plus, my husband and I got to chat with some of our friends too.
I think I may have mentioned this before, but my 7-year-old asks TONS of questions. Most of his questions are about the environment, geography and sports. We have been reading lots of science and sport books trying to quench his thirst for knowledge. If you have a little soccer lover in your house too, here are 5 facts about soccer to chat with your kids about.
1) Why is soccer good for kids?
2) How long have people been playing soccer?
3) How much would it cost to buy a famous soccer team?
5) When kids play soccer, is it all about winning?
Soccer is an art not a science and the game should be played attractively as well as effectively. Soccer is a game of skill, imagination, creativity and decision- making. Coaching should not stifle, but enhance those elements.

The Radicality of Good. Hannah Arendt between Socrates and St. Augustine. The thesis exposed by Arendt in The Banality of Evil is based in the idea of the nonradicality of the evil itself, which belongs to a lack of thinking. Thus, this paper aims to show how this perspective is rooted in the Arendt's interest and study on the radically of thinking in Socrates and on the inconsistency of evil in the Augustine's anti-manicheistic quarrel.

xValues = [65.2, 65.4, 65.1, 65.2, 65.4, 65.6, 65.5, 65.4, 65.5, 65.7, 65.6, 65.9, 65.7, 66.0, 66.1, 66.0, 66.3, 66.4, 66.4, 66.3, 66.3, 66.5, 66.6, 66.6, 66.6, 66.7, 66.8, 66.9, 66.8, 67.1, 67.0, 67.1, 67.1, 67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.5, 67.6, 67.6, 67.6, 67.8, 67.8, 67.9, 68.0, 68.1, 68.1, 67.9, 68.1, 68.2, 68.3, 68.4, 68.4, 68.6, 68.7, 68.7, 68.9, 68.8, 68.7, 68.9, 68.8, 69.0, 69.2, 69.3, 69.0, 69.2, 69.4, 69.6, 69.6, 69.7, 69.8, 69.7, 69.7, 69.6, 69.9, 69.7, 69.8, 70.0, 70.1, 70.2, 70.2, 70.2, 70.2, 70.5, 70.6, 70.6, 70.8, 71.0, 71.0, 71.0, 70.8, 71.0, 71.0, 71.2, 71.2, 71.1, 71.2, 71.4, 71.5, 71.7, 71.8, 71.8, 71.7, 71.7, 72.0, 72.0, 72.0, 72.1, 72.1, 72.0, 72.1, 72.3, 72.5, 72.4, 72.3, 72.4, 72.6, 72.6, 72.7, 72.9, 73.1, 73.0, 73.0, 73.3, 73.3, 73.2, 73.2, 73.4, 73.5, 73.5, 73.6, 73.6, 73.7, 73.8, 74.0, 73.9, 73.8, 73.9, 74.1, 74.2, 74.3, 74.4, 74.5, 74.6, 74.5, 74.4, 74.5, 74.7, 74.9, 74.9]

yValues = [57.4, 57.5, 53.2, 56.4, 47.3, 54.3, 60.4, 59.6, 59.2, 51.6, 53.1, 49.5, 54.9, 54.5, 56.0, 57.8, 54.7, 48.8, 55.7, 59.3, 54.6, 51.5, 43.6, 50.2, 55.3, 55.1, 59.9, 57.2, 60.0, 65.6, 64.0, 59.8, 59.9, 63.1, 67.4, 64.4, 58.7, 60.0, 55.6, 60.6, 58.7, 63.3, 67.3, 63.0, 60.5, 57.4, 60.1, 61.9, 62.8, 65.5, 62.0, 62.0, 69.7, 70.3, 72.0, 69.8, 67.1, 70.4, 63.3, 65.1, 65.1, 62.0, 64.9, 75.2, 69.6, 66.5, 63.9, 62.1, 66.2, 66.7, 66.5, 67.4, 69.6, 72.2, 73.1, 77.5, 73.5, 65.0, 74.0, 77.4, 74.8, 79.8, 84.2, 74.7, 69.5, 70.3, 70.1, 70.7, 74.4, 74.3, 73.3, 77.1, 73.8, 76.2, 71.3, 74.5, 74.5, 75.6, 75.5, 75.8, 73.5, 72.4, 75.3, 73.3, 74.9, 73.1, 78.9, 81.5, 80.6, 82.9, 79.1, 84.4, 79.8, 79.7, 79.8, 76.4, 80.5, 81.2, 88.0, 80.4, 81.2, 85.3, 79.3, 79.5, 82.4, 80.8, 80.1, 74.3, 76.3, 77.5, 78.9, 83.3, 82.9, 78.4, 80.8, 80.6, 84.8, 87.3, 86.4, 86.7, 85.5, 78.8, 81.1, 87.2, 87.1, 88.4, 85.6, 86.5, 88.8]

Function: #Also known as Worm-Like-Chain model for those who are interested in it...
def func(x,L,P):
    return (((1.381*10**(-2)) * 295.15)/P) * (1/(4*((1-x/L)**2)) +x/L -1/4)

#Fitting function to data:
#CurveFittingBlackMagic
initialGuess = [50,1.0]
popt, pcov = curve_fit(func,xRange,yRange, initialGuess ,maxfev=1000000000)
print(popt)
print(pcov)
xFit = np.arange(0.0, 200, 0.01)
plt.plot(xFit, func(xFit,*popt),'r', label = 'fit params: L=%5.3f, P=%5.3f'%tuple(popt))

plt.ylim(-20, 150) plt.xlim(-20, 200)

#Plotting Data plt.plot(xValues,yValues)

plt.show()

This yields the result shown in the picture which clearly is nonsense but i can not figure out why. Would be very awesome if someone could point out my mistake ;)

A: For those who are interested. Fitting a taylor expansion of the function up to the 10th order did work and did give a good enough approximation of the function.

A: By inspection your data looks like a linear function y(x)=ax+b . Blue line on the graph . Coefficients computed by linear least mean squares regression :

Considering the high scatter draw to think that a non-linear model is very uncertain. Computing the parameters in a non-linear model might lead to inconsistent result.
In fact your non-linear function is probably close to a linear function in the small range 64<x<76. If you expect a correct determination of the parameters L and P a much larger range of data should be necessary.
All this draw us to approximate the non-linear function by its tangent at  x_moy=70. The result is very close to the above linear regression. Next figure, green line.

Of course those numerical values of L and P are probably without signifiance because the optimum is so flat and uncertain.
