Military Connection: Upgrade Your Discharge Status: By Debbie Gregory
October 13, 2014 /0 Comments/in Military Blog, Military Veteran, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Uncategorized, Veteran News, Veterans Benefits
The majority of Americans believe that our Veterans deserve to receive the highest level of benefits and care. However, not everyone who has served is entitled to provisions offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies and organizations. Veterans, even those who served in combat, who were issued either an Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct or Dishonorable Discharge are not eligible for healthcare from the VA, as well as a multitude of other benefits.
Veterans with Other Than Honorable discharges are able to petition for benefits, but they are less likely to get them. Veterans are also able to have their discharge characterization upgraded, or have the reason for discharge changed.
For decades, many Veterans who left the service with anything but an Honorable Discharge were looked down upon, especially by the Veteran community. For many Veterans, the idea of receiving the other types of discharges meant that you had done something wrong to earn the distinction. That opinion was black and white, with no room for grey.
But with many new opinions coming to light, especially from the medical and psychological communities, the lines are blurring, and the black and white areas have given way to allow for some grey. During our nation's longest war, there are many professionals who now feel that many of the previously issued negative discharges may have been the result of traumatic brain injuries, or symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
This realization could pave the way for as many as 80,000 Veterans to upgrade their discharge status, if they can link their conduct to genuine and evidenced symptoms of TBI or PTSD.
On September 3, 2014, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel issued a memorandum that directed boards for the correction of military records or naval records to "fully and carefully consider every petition based on PTSD brought by each veteran." The memo offers guidance for review boards to use when handling cases where the petitioner claims that post-traumatic stress caused their misbehavior.
This change will be especially beneficial for Vietnam Veterans, whose PTSD symptoms were confused with misconduct, at a time before PTSD was recognized in the military and Veteran communities.
If you are a Veteran needing to upgrade your discharge status, please make sure that you apply for corrections with the appropriate review board for branch of service that you were in:

Amir Amedi, Joan Camprodon, Lotfi Merabet, Peter Meijer, Alvaro Pascual-Leone; Towards closing the gap between visual neuroprostheses and sighted restoration: Insights from studying vision, cross-modal plasticity and sensory substitution. Journal of Vision 2006;6(13):12. doi: 10.1167/6.13.12.
Restoration of sight imposes clinical and scientific challenges. Despite intensive efforts, restoration of functional vision using neuroprostheses has not been achieved. A major reason for this failure might be that the brain in the blind undergoes profound plasticity and we do not know enough about vision and about how to communicate with this altered cortex to generate meaningful visual perception. New findings regarding the nature of representation of visual functions (such as perception versus imagery of object1) or tactile functions2 in sighted and weeklong blindfold subjects will be presented. These studies show that interactions between sensory modalities are critical to our understanding of sensory representations in the brain. Next, I will review recent studies showing robust plasticity in the visual cortex of blind using fMRI and TMS as a virtual lesion tool to assess the functional relevance of these plastic changes in the tactile and language domains3. Finally, sensory substitution devices (SSD) and will be discussed. In SSD, visual information captured by an artificial receptor is delivered to the brain using non-visual sensory information via a human-machine interface. Specifically, blind and sighted using an auditory-to-visual SSD called "The vOICe" are showing both successful performance behaviorally and specialized recruitment of visual structures (such as the 'visual' object related area LOC)4. This suggests "The vOICe" can be used for daily activities such as object recognition and might have the potential to play a role in 'guiding' the visual cortex to interpret visual information arriving from a retinal prosthesis in a blind subject4,5,6.

The TLV3701 is part of Texas Instruments' first family of nanopower comparator with only 560 nA supply current, which make this device ideal for low power applications.
The TLV3701 has a minimum operating supply voltage of 2.7 V over the extended temperature range TA = –40°C to 125°C, while having an input common-mode range of –0.1 to VCC + 5 V. The low supply current makes it an ideal choice for battery powered portable applications where quiescent current is the primary concern. Reverse battery protection guards the amplifier from an over-current condition due to improper battery installation. For harsh environments, the inputs can be taken 5 V above the positive supply rail without damage to the device. This device is available in the small SOT-23 package. Other package options may be made available upon request.

III. Aethiopia and Egypt have been stigmatized, in every age, as the original source and seminary of the plague.  In a damp, hot, stagnating air, this African fever is generated from the putrefaction of animal substances, and especially from the swarms of locusts, not less destructive to mankind in their death than in their lives. The fatal disease which depopulated the earth in the time of Justinian and his successors,  first appeared in the neighborhood of Pelusium, between the Serbonian bog and the eastern channel of the Nile. From thence, tracing as it were a double path, it spread to the East, over Syria, Persia, and the Indies, and penetrated to the West, along the coast of Africa, and over the continent of Europe. In the spring of the second year, Constantinople, during three or four months, was visited by the pestilence; and Procopius, who observed its progress and symptoms with the eyes of a physician,  has emulated the skill and diligence of Thucydides in the description of the plague of Athens.  The infection was sometimes announced by the visions of a distempered fancy, and the victim despaired as soon as he had heard the menace and felt the stroke of an invisible spectre. But the greater number, in their beds, in the streets, in their usual occupation, were surprised by a slight fever; so slight, indeed, that neither the pulse nor the color of the patient gave any signs of the approaching danger. The same, the next, or the succeeding day, it was declared by the swelling of the glands, particularly those of the groin, of the armpits, and under the ear; and when these buboes or tumors were opened, they were found to contain a coal, or black substance, of the size of a lentil. If they came to a just swelling and suppuration, the patient was saved by this kind and natural discharge of the morbid humor. But if they continued hard and dry, a mortification quickly ensued, and the fifth day was commonly the term of his life.


My PTO president is trying to get a Smart Board in every classroom in our school. She asked me if I thought I would use one....or if there was other technology I might like to have for the art room. I have a laptop, LCD projector, and my Lady Bug....I'm pretty set. However...I have long wanted a class set of digital cameras. I want to have the information to provide her when I present my idea. So...who has a class set of digital cameras out there?!?!
3. I recommend getting a USB drive for each camera (for saving images) this way student's can track their own images w/o glutting up the school drives and/or their own personal drives.
I use the cameras all the time for stuff from portraits, to reference images, to color finds. . .REALLY, the ideas are limitless. If you have someone willing to help with the initial purchase, I would enthusiastically say YES!
I bought a set of 6 ( one for each table) small Kodak digital cameras last year with some of the profits from Original Works. The cameras are fine and fairly easy to use, but the buttons are TINY and a little tricky for young hands. My advice would be to get cameras with few buttons that are clearly marked for function.
Hi Check out Mimeo Teach. It's a mobile device that you place on your dry erase board that converts it to an interactive smart board. Far less the cost $699.
Humm...thought I left a comment...okay again, Check out Mimeo Teach. Only $699 converts your dry erase board into an interactive smart board. I'll be getting one in a few weeks. The tech teacher loves hers.
I have a set of 8 cameras, each cost around $170. I hav done for each student table in my room. I also have an extra that I store in my desk to photograph student work or class activities. I used one year of square 1 art fundraiser to purchase the set of 8 cameras my first year at my current school. The students love using them and we have done photo scavenger hunts, portraits, still life and micro/macro shots of objects super close up. The ones I bought are just average cameras, not kid cameras, and we haven't had trouble with the students using them are fully. I have used them as low as second grade.
I have been taking photos for over 35 years. I teach photography at a college and am an elementary art teacher.
Recently have been doing some training for Best Buy and one of te resources I tell their employees about is a web site called snapsort.com. I think it will be of value to you.
My only tip is to find cameras that include a video feature because eventually you will wnt it to.
Not a certified art teacher (anymore) but as a stay at home artist those are my thoughts. Oh and I LOVE the idea of the art teacher having digital cameras for an elementary classroom more then I can voice!!
Mr e. the smart board is a great thing to have. I been using them for few years now.
I teach technology as well and my school we don't have a class set of camera. The problem I see with them is do you have enough computer so the students can get their picture and edit them and print them.
You know the smart board could be the way. Or. Even think about a few iPad. They would have the camera on them and you could fine free apps on the to do you editing of the pictures.
I have a class set of 18 digital cameras that I purchased through a grant. I love them and we use them all the time. Once you get going, the projects and applications are endless! There are some hidden costs.
1. you need to either buy cameras with rechargeable batteries (and remember to recharge) or add in the cost of about $200 worth of batteries.
2. You need to purchase an SD card for each camera.
3. I recommend buying a USB drive for each camera (for when students move their images to the computer). They often take a lot of images and they take up a lot of space. You don't want to hog the space on your school's server and/or you don't want the students' to take up all of their space on the school server with images. Also, this allows you an easier method for reviewing their work.
Canon hands down makes the best, most user friendly cameras. I have a class set of cameras, 1/2 are polaroid brand, and 1/2 are canon- I rarely even get out the polaroid. I only buy Canon for my personal use as well. Often, you can get a great one cheaper when they are ready to introduce the new model. You do need to think about memory cards beyond what comes in the camera. I tried re-chargable batteries, and it was not worth the space they took up- I have better luck going to sams and buying a huge pack of batteries.
My art room does not have a set of digital cameras but I have been using a smart board almost daily for the past two years and I love it! I use it for drawing all the time. I have also taken a course on it and some of its special features are amazing and really get the kids into the lesson. I have recently started my own elementary art room blog and I hope to blog about the smartboard and provide ready made smart board lessons in the future.
I second Becky Lynn... I received my SmartBoard last year (my 1st yr teaching K-3) and I LOVE IT!!! I use it daily!!! I even read (ok... it reads) books to the kids... it is much larger than the actual visual that I have hard copies of and it is awesome for showing examples or art prints or you tube videos... I now have a hover cam that I am sooo excited about trying... instead of having 25-30 kiddos fighting to see your demo around one table, I do it under the hover cam and it shows on my smart board!!! Can not wait to use it!!!
Love the dig camera idea as well... not sure how often I would use it with my age group... but middle schoolers I can see taking lots advantage of!!!
Going to go check out theartapron now!!!
anxiously waiting to hear what you come up with!!! it will be great!
Our school went with bright links projectors instead of smart boards. You can turn any plan white board or white wall into an interactive space. Ours projects on a white board and I can draw on it and show things of the Internet. Everything you can do with a smart board but without having the cost of a projector and a smart board. I love it so far. I have to travel from classroom to classroom and I just log into that teachers computer and my desktop is right there. Then I can project any artist art work and zom in or draw on it, record what I did and upload it to my website for students to view at home.

Теодор Хетцер (; 16 июля 1890, Харьков — 27 декабря 1946, Юберлинген, Боденское озеро) — немецкий историк искусства, специалист по творчеству Джотто, Тициана и Рафаэля, а также — Дюрера.

Биография
Теодор Хетцер изучал историю искусства, классическую археологию и философию во Фрайбурге — под руководством Вильгельма Вёге — и в Берлине — под руководством Генриха Вёльфлина. При этом его основным наставником в Берлине был Фридрих Ринтельен, под руководством которого Хетцер в 1915 году получил докторскую степень (в Базельском университете). В 1923 году Теодор Хетцер стал преподавателем истории искусства в Лейпцигском университете, где в 1929 году стал экстраординарный профессором, а с 1935 по 1945 год состоял ординарный профессором.

Хетцер считался знатоком искусства Джотто, Тициана и Рафаэля; кроме того он занимался и творчеством Дюрера, а также — влиянием немецкого искусства на итальянскую живопись XVI века. Работы Хетцера также затрагивали творчество Рембрандта, Питера Пауля Рубенса, Франсиско де Гойи и Поля Сезанна. Хетцер получил высокую оценку от коллег за яркий язык своих работ, описывавших как исторические эпохи, так и стили живописи.

В ноябре 1933 года Теодор Хетцер стал одним из тех профессоров немецких университетов, которые выразили свое признание как Адольфа Гитлера, так и национал-социалистического государства (). В 1936 году Хетцер был избран членом Саксонской академии наук. Теодор Хетцер умер 27 декабря 1946 года в Юберлингене, расположенном на Боденском озере.

With effect from 1 April 2017, the fee payable to the Office of the Public Guardian to register a Lasting Power of Attorney (or an old-style Enduring Power is Attorney) has been reduced from £110 to £82.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more people (known as your 'Attorneys') to make decisions on your behalf. You can only make an LPA whist you still have mental capacity.
A Financial Decisions LPA enables your attorney to make decisions on your behalf in relation to your financial affairs and your property, including running your bank account, selling your property or paying bills on your behalf. Once registered, the Financial Decisions LPA can be used by your Attorneys at your direction, and can continue to be used in the future if you lose the mental capacity to make decisions for yourself.
A Health and Care Decisions LPA enables your attorneys to make decisions about medical treatment and social care, including what treatment you receive, where you should live and decisions concerning life-sustaining treatment. The Health and Care Decisions LPA can only be used by your Attorneys if you have lost capacity to make those types of decisions for yourself.
The two types of LPA are independent of each other.
The Government hopes that reducing the registration fee will encourage more people to make LPAs. LPAs can provide peace of mind that your affairs will be managed by your chosen Attorneys in the event that you became incapable of managing for yourself.
At Forbes Solicitors, our team of specialists can advise on both types of LPAs, your choice of attorney and any restrictions you might want to put in place. We can deal with the whole procedure for you, ensuring the process runs as smoothly as possible and enabling you to put your affairs in order. For more information, contact our Wills, Probate, Tax and Trusts department or alternatively call Freephone 0800 975 2643 or send any question through to Forbes Solicitors via our online Contact Form.

People have been taught too or thought of the idea to bury valuables since the beginning of time. Hidden safes have become popular over the years and their uses have varied widely. This is not a new idea, but the techniques and tools have dramatically changed.
At least 2 or 3 times a year a story surfaces about someone finding a cache of Roman coins or some other treasure buried in their back yard. We are not only talking about ancient Europe either, people find buried treasures in America all the time. And does prove how effective it is to burry valuables for safe keeping.
The indisputable primary use for hidden safes and deceptive hiding places has really gotten creative over the years. Everything from soup cans and ketchup bottles to even noodle packaging and laundry powder has become an "in plain sight" type of hiding spot. Thieves are very smart and they want your valuables as much or even more than you do, but thieves are not the only threat to your valuables or other items that are only valuable to you. You know that stuff; irreplaceable, but little physical value to anyone other than you. The first four leaf clover your son found, your child's first baby tooth to come out or the thumb drive that has all the backup data from 3 years work on your novel and what about all those digital photos.
There are very few of the small safes or insulated lock boxes that can withstand the intense heat of a house fire. They even talk about that in their disclaimer.
It the case of a house fire, you would definitely want your small "secret" to be buried outside somewhere with quick and easy access while at the same time being safe from the fire itself.
Believe it or not, there is something even worse than a burglar or a house fire when it comes to protecting your valuables. We have seen this too many times lately and it seems to be occurring at least twice a year now. The only thing this big is the wholesale destruction and total devastation caused by weather.
Communities and even whole towns are being leveled in seconds with only a few minutes of warning if any warning at all. In this situation even a bank is not a safe bet for protecting your valuables. Sure, the vault is safe but getting into it to pull out your emergency hard cash will not happen quickly.
Having an underground safe that is buried on your property and totally under your control, even if a tornado destroyed your neighborhood can be a good precaution to take. People have known to bury valuables in an underground safe storage location for centuries. It is probably a good idea to take the advice of our elders and follow their lead, what is the worst that could happen?

We have made no secret of our views on money market funds. These pools of loans to companies are a major risk to the financial system. Paul Volcker agrees. Earlier this year, the SEC instituted regulations in an attempt to reduce risks for investors. But money market fund managers are still finding ways to put money entrusted to them into risky situations. As MarketWatch reports; "European deposits are the single-biggest part of money-market funds' holdings." Perhaps we are being a curmudgeon, but we do not want our emergency cash gallivanting around the world. Even ignoring the current Irish situation (Irish bank deposits fleeing and the new Irish government wanting to renegotiate its bailout), Spain and Italy will still have to refinance over $500 Billion early next year. The European debt contagion we forecast last April is ongoing.
Why would fund managers want to take this extra risk? To cover their fund expenses, i.e. pay their salaries. Yes, most money market fund investors are merely paying their managers with their returns. Obviously, fund managers are charging excessive fees. (Their compensation has not come down with rates.) For a true cash allocation, U.S. Treasury Bills are still a smarter alternative to maintain wealth. And if something 'unexpected' happens, like a European default, they will provide greater liquidity.
With the recent rise of the stock market, individual investors are moving back into domestic equity mutual funds. Investor sentiment is hitting 6 year highs. Investors are buying at retail prices, not wholesale. Meanwhile, hedge fund managers are shorting and insiders are selling in record amounts.
"He tends to buy on weakness. If a stock he bought advances an eighth, he stops and reconsiders. He says that for him to buy a stock on an uptick is about the equivalent of the Second Coming." - John Train's The Money Masters on Warren Buffett.
While Warren Buffett would caution us to stand aside, CNBC Fast Money's Joe Terranova recently blabbered: "the biggest risk is to not be in this market." Time and time again the herd mentality pulls investors in at tops. It only takes one year of stock losses to equal 7 years of cost of living increases. We prefer to be slow and patient, as fast money is usually money that is leaving.
In our report two years ago "How a Recession Turns Into a Depression," we presented a chart of Japanese real estate prices. After a burst bubble in 1991, prices continued down for 16 years. It appears U.S. home prices have also turned down again in May and that the tax credit bounce was merely a breather. Nouriel Roubini expects "home prices to continue their decline" as foreclosures increase next year.
"…if home prices continue on this pace, down, I think the economy has serious reasons to worry." – Robert Shiller.
Because assets are currently overvalued, we are bearish. But we are not preparing for the apocalypse, like some in the entertainment industry. While we encourage preparedness, modern conveniences are not going to disappear. Quite the contrary, we currently have an oversupply of goods. Simply put, without debt people can't afford things. Price rises during times with high debt levels are short lived. These increases hurt the ability of the financially stretched to pay their debts. Debt is the problem.
In April 2008, we quoted Edward Chancellor (author of Devil Take the Hindmost) who described how the boom of the 1820s ended: "speculation flared up in commodities…the anticipation of exports to liberated countries provoked fears of raw material shortages." Shortly after, a "torrent of distrust" enveloped credit markets, and fickle Fortune had left. In 1826, stocks were down 80%, while some 'went unquoted.'" In mid-2008, commodity rises did herald the coming credit crisis. We would like to note that this year's investment outperformer is indeed input costs. We would not rule out a final spike in commodities early in 2011 before another credit crunch ensues, though it is not necessary.


Hello and welcome to the Data Analysis and Collection through Robotic Companions and LEGO Engineering with Children on the Autism Spectrum project website.
The main objective in the study is to measure the effect of LEGO engineering and its collaborative nature on the development of social skills in children and adolescents with ASD. Our secondary goal is to observe the engineering skills and processes used by children with ASD and compare them with those of typically developing children, looking for examples where students with ASD can be role models for typically developing students, both in how they develop and in how they go about solving engineering problems.

Alli Warrick is the epitome of the athlete cliche. She eats, sleeps and breathes softball, but she does not see anything wrong with that.
The Goshen Lady Eagles' ace led her team to a 22-14 record and within one game of the Class 2A state tournament in 2009, but she is merely a ninth grader.
She has pinpoint accuracy and the look of intensity in the circle, but she does not even have a driver's license yet. Warrick has the composure of a senior when in that circle or at the plate and for that confidence she has been named The Messenger's 2009 Softball All-County Player of the Year.
But Warrick's success has not come easy. When she is not playing for the Lady Eagles, she can be found traveling the country with the CSXpress.
"I am always trying to work hard and I am out there every summer trying to get better," Warrick said. "Last year I set a goal to reach 55 mph and increase my speed. I got it and now I will do that again."
Warrick was a double threat in 2009 for the Lady Eagles from the circle and at the plate. At the plate Warrick batted .341 on the year with her first career home run, seven doubles, 18 runs scored and 20 RBIs.
She was even better when she stepped in the circle, with a razor thin 1.29 ERA in 146 innings of work with 170 strikeouts, 44 walks, 39 hits allowed, eight shutouts and two no-hitters.
Dedication to getting better is something Goshen head coach Dee Hughes loves to see in her ace.
"The thing is, if you stop pitching you lose that muscle memory," Hughes said. "So it is hard work and we are just glad Alli wants to get better."
During the Lady Eagles quest for a state title Warrick and her teammates kept it loose on the bus.
"On the ride up there (to regionals) we were just talking about the game like it was just another game," Warrick said.
The ride to the regionals is one thing, but what trips up a lot of players is getting out on the field and realizing what they are doing. This is not a problem for Warrick.
"I am not thinking when I am out there," she said.
Not thinking or recognizing what is going on around the field can be a plus and Warrick has a way to deal with distractions. During one game this year the other team was poking fun at the grunt of aggression that leaves Warrick's mouth during every pitch. Warrick did not have to say a word, but the other team stopped riding her about it.
"I didn't really hear them, but I knew they would stop," Warrick said.
Warrick's mother, Amy Warrick, is an assistant coach for the Lady Eagles and she said that game was a great moment.
"She just kept pitching and sure enough, two or three innings rock on and you don't hear anybody making fun of her anymore," Amy Warrick said. "They are just worried about hitting the ball."
Getting better is always something coaches stress to players, but Warrick does not need that gentle pushing because by playing with CSX, she is doing that.
"What makes you better is you going out there and playing the best competition," Hughes said. "She gets to see everyone's third and fourth batter on every team up and down the lineup. That really ups her level."
Amy Warrick said playing against good competition is good to keep Alli Warrick's ego in check.
"Alli could take this and be like 'Oh I am good' and get a big head, but she knows she can't because in travel ball she will go up and pitch against all these great hitters," she said. "It keeps her very grounded."
Softball has been her love for a long time, but Warrick has only been pitching since she was 10 years old.
"She really didn't get serious about pitching until her seventh grade year," Amy Warrick said.
Warrick has always had a knack for pitching and it came a little easier to her than hitting did, but that has not stopped her from wanting to get better at the plate.
"One night I yelled at (Alli) and Kaitlin Thomas and said, 'I am going to get divorced if I get home any later because he has had enough of this,' and they both just looked like that their lives depended on hitting that night," Hughes said. "That was how much they wanted to go to state and make the playoffs. And it paid off."
Hughes said there is a major difference in the way Warrick approaches the two phases of the game.
"On the mound she is very confident, but when she gets in the box she expects too much from herself," Hughes said. "And we try and tell her that when you hit that box you have to have the same attitude you have on the mound."
Warrick had the success she did in 2009 after recovering from a broken pitching arm.
"She was struggling to get her arm strong again and to throw different pitches at the beginning of the year," Hughes said. "Really it was after spring break that I noticed that we got her back. She built her arm strength back up and she is ready. She has definitely matured throughout this year."
Warrick is probably on the field today practicing for next year and this year she will have no broken bones to repair and should be ready for another great year as a Lady Eagle.

My controller is taking call of id from the jquery to run it.
Here is my jquery
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#search").keyup(function () {
        var str = $("#search").val();
        if (str != "") {
            console.log(str);
            $.get("<?php echo base_url();?>invoice_invoice/sent?id=" + str, function (data) {
                $("#sample_1").html(data);
            });
        }
    });
});

sample_1 is the id of my table where i want to print the values coming from the search
Here is the view with the search block

Show <select
name="sample_2_length" aria-controls="sample_2" class="form-control input-sm
input-xsmall input-inline">
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="15">15</option>
<option value="20">20</option><option value="-1">All</option>
</select>

Search:
<input type="search" id ='search' name = 'search' class="form-control input-
sm input-small input-inline" placeholder="" aria-controls="sample_2">

Hereby is the model function
function search($search,$limit,$start)
{
    $userdata1 = $this->session->userdata('condition');
    $this->db->select("'id,Client_Name,ac_email,Client_email,Invoice_no,Items,client_add,Currency,Language,Notes'");
    $whereCondition = array('Client_email' =>$search , 'ac_email' => $userdata1['ac_email'] );
    $this->db->where($whereCondition);
    $this->db->from('invoices');
    $params = $this->db->get();
    return $params->result();
}

I just get "GET http://localhost/cidemo/invoice_invoice/sent?id=weqe@dsf 404 (Not Found)" error in my console where I run my search view

Bipartisanship 101
Here's a lesson in bipartisanship whether you agree or not. McCain speaks on Meet the Press. Perhaps, though, he shouldn't be the one to criticize Obama. Whatever McCain says, it's still barely over three months from the election. His message can't help but carry a subtext. So, maybe another Republican should do the criticizing while McCain keeps his own counsel for awhile.
His statements may be to the point. It's hard to agree without qualifying them. After all, McCain's campaign rhetoric itself got a little more testy than he promised it would. Everyone makes promises. Let's just see how it all plays out.
We have a little more than 3 years to see how this plays out.

In March of 2015, San Jose First United Methodist Church sent four members on a mission trip to the town of El Maguey in the state of Jalisco in Mexico. El Maguey is a little town that was created 13 years ago when a nearby city of Atotonilco el Alto attempted to move its residents with economic struggles away from the city. Today, an average family in El Maguey makes $300 per month, while an average family income in Mexico is $600 per month.
Gerardo Vazquez, the minister of Spanish language ministry at SJFUMC, has a house in El Maguey. Eight years ago Gerardo started a church in the garage of his house. He named the church Christo Vive, emphasizing the fact that Christ lives. The church has grown over the years, and now it sponsors various service programs and holds three services a week.
The purpose of the mission trip in 2015 was to strengthen Christo Vive's worship services, and also to start an ESL program that allows San Jose First to continue to teach English via Skype to children in El Maguey. It is a known fact that those with English proficiency in El Maguey and its surrounding cities are able to receive higher paying jobs.
As a result of the team's visit, two remarkable changes have emerged: Christo Vive's worship experience has been completely revamped; and since the start of the ESL program, several children in El Maguey have greatly improved their ability to speak and understand English.
In June of 2017, we returned to Mexico and visited Christo Vive to help them create the first library in El Maguey. San Jose First UMC was the recipient of the collection of library books from Grant Elementary School when they updated their library. The books were organized and labeled by language (English or Spanish), subject, and reading level. We shipped the books to El Maguey, and in July, a group of volunteers from our church went to El Maguey to set up the library – the first one in the town. The library is open to everyone in El Maguey.
Setting up the initial ESL program in El Maguey was an interesting and challenging experience! SJFUMC purchased supplies for the children and technological equipment for Antonio, the college student who accepted the immense responsibility of conducting the classes after we left Mexico. Although the number of students has diminished since March 2015, those who remain are making steady progress in spite of the many difficulties we've had to overcome.
El Maguey is a small town and the government-issued homes have very thin walls and roofs. Often weather, neighborhood noise, and technical problems interfere with our biweekly classes. However, the resiliency of the participants constantly amazes and inspires me. With their example and Gerardo's constant attention to my needs, I've learned to be patient and flexible during the interruptions to our Skype sessions.
We have exciting plans for the future! These include finding ways to provide Antonio with equipment that can improve communication during class sessions. We're also arranging with an ESL teacher in a Campbell school to set up a pen-pal program with Mexican-American children. And once books are available in the El Maguey library, we'll incorporate their use into our classes.
Volunteers are always needed for one-time events or on-going programs. If you can help someone with homework, develop job skills, make household repairs, prepare meals, partner with seniors or minister to those in extended care facilities, or lead a discussion group, we have an opportunity for you. Our volunteer ministry is all about allowing people to serve Christ through sharing their special gifts with others.
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please contact the church office. Training, information, and a team to work with are available.

Mozart: Organ Music
Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Artist Ivan Ronda organ
Release March 2015
Described by the composer himself as 'the king of instruments', the organ and its music form a small but not insignificant part of Mozart's vast œuvre. This new release, performed by acclaimed Italian organist Ivan Ronda, comprises all of his major works for the instrument, including the extended Adagio and Rondo in C minor and the small-scale works from the London Sketchbook. Also included is the charming Adagio in C for the glass harmonica: just 28 bars in length, the work was originally conceived for this curious instrument, which consists of glass bowls that rotate in water, but is equally effective on the organ. Mozart's output of Church Sonatas – notable for their single movement form – are represented here by the Sonata in C K336, the only one to have a proper solo part for the organ, and was specially transcribed by André Isoir for this recording.
The disc is rounded off with the imposing Fantasia in F minor. Described in Mozart's own catalogue of work as 'an organ piece for a clock', it was commissioned by Count Joseph Deym for a musical automaton that contained a small pipe organ. When transferred to an organ on the scale of that at the Church of Maria Vergine Immacolata in Gallo Cavour, Italy, where this recording was made, it takes on a certain grandeur, and exploits the various echo and dialogue effects of the instrument.
Ivan Ronda is an organist particularly renowned for his authoritative interpretations, and is acknowledged for his fine technique. His tour of the UK took in such prestigious venues as King's College Cambridge and Westminster Abbey, and he was the first Italian organist to record an album on the historic Baroque organ of the Johanniskirche in Lüneburg, an instrument known to J. S. Bach.
Although Mozart called it "The King of instruments" he wrote comparatively few works for the organ, but what he wrote is of a special quality: the great Fantasia in F minor (a late work) is of deep emotional content, while the Adagio and Rondo KV 617 is in the tragic key of C minor. Also included is the delightful Suite in C KV399, the beautiful Andante in F major KV616 and some works the child prodigy Wolfgang wrote in London, the KV15.
Played by Italian master organist Ivan Ronda, internationally acclaimed by guest appearances in such venues as Westminster Abbey and King's College Cambridge.
The booklet contains the information on the organ, artist biography and notes on the music.
Recorded in Italy in April 2014.

Q: Strategies for authenticaing user accounts on other sites? I'm working on a small Rails application in which I'd like users to be able to prove that accounts they have at other sites, Live Journal, Stack Overflow, Reddit, etc. are in fact theirs.
Can anyone provide any guidance on how best to accomplish something like this?

I've outlined some potential options for account verification.

*

*Ask users to basically pass their log in credentials to the application via SSL and allow it to verify that it can log in. Then, of course, log out and delete any user session data/credentials. Problems:

*

*People are not going to psyched about the idea of exposing their credentials to a third party system.

*Handing off log in information may well be against many
        website's ToS agreements.

*The idea makes me queasy.

*Provide the user with a hash and ask them to insert it into some field of the their public profile. Putting "aTWIUqHRgxEpSVaQzCYc" in the location field of my Stack Overflow account for example and then having the application verify the hash via either API or screen scrape depending on the website.Problems:

*

*This is tedious to do for more than one or two websites.

*Some sites don't have any sort fields with user supplied information. Reddit for example.

*Again, provide the user with a hash but ask them to send that hash via the website's  message system to a specified user account. A server process would routinely check that account's inbox and then link the hash with the account. This seems like the easiest solution.

*

*3B. Have the user friend the specified account when applicable.

I've not yet done enough due diligence investigating what options OAuth or OpenId might provide to speak intelligently about them.
I realize the headache of having to verify accounts this way is going to cause a barrier to entry. Not only that but failing to have a single consistent method for doing it.

A: I would go with OAuth / OpenID, there is a gem called omniauth and it supports a wide variety of external providers. Ryan Bates has made 3 railscasts about omniauth so you could start there! It's really easy to get it up and running. If you follow the railscasts by Ryan Bates you can allow your users to use more than 1 provider (e.g twitter, openid and facebook).

Approached as a wellspring of cultural authenticity and historical exceptionality, New Orleans appears in opposition to a nation perpetually driven by progress. Remaking New Orleans shows how this narrative is rooted in a romantic cultural tradition, continuously repackaged through the twin engines of tourism and economic development, and supported by research that has isolated the city from comparison and left unquestioned its entrenched inequality. Working against this feedback loop, the contributors place New Orleans at the forefront of national patterns of urban planning, place-branding, structural inequality, and racialization. Nontraditional sites like professional wrestling matches, middle-class black suburbs, and Vietnamese gardens take precedence over clichéd renderings of Creole cuisine, voodoo queens, and hot jazz. Covering the city's founding through its present and highlighting changing political and social formations, this volume remakes New Orleans as a rich site for understanding the quintessential concerns of American cities.
Thomas Jessen Adams is Lecturer in History and American Studies, Academic Director of the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, and coeditor of Working in the Big Easy: The History and Politics of Labor in New Orleans.

Part Three. What Is New Orleans Identity?


The 2016 United States Presidential Election is heating up as the primairies draw closer and closer by the day. While some are desperate to ignore anything and everything about the 2016 presidential debate and get everybody involved off their browser window, a good number of Americans are checking into the candidates and what they've been saying, as well as posing questions of their own. According to Google's statistics, in fact, search volume in regards to politics can spike as much as 440 percent during debates. With a mere two weeks left, Google has announced they're partnering with Fox News to present the Republican debate in Des Moines, Iowa. The way they've decided to go about hosting the debate, however, is a bit on the unconventional side and very in line with the times.
In collaboration with Fox News, Google will be checking out Google Search Trends and taking questions from YouTube during the debate, giving politicians a chance to answer the burning questions that real Americans may never get a chance to ask otherwise. Google says that the purpose of this effort is to "create a more fun and informative way for people to learn more about the candidates and issues in this primary race." Google will also be interacting with the Google Trends home page in real time as it updates. Essentially, this means that both Americans and those abroad who are interested in American politics can have somewhat of a say in what questions the debating parties are asked. Normally, this privilege is limited to attendees and the press. The implications of this run quite deep; with what amounts to a viewer-controlled debate, candidates may be forced to answer tough questions they would otherwise have either dodged or simply never been asked.
The debate will be shown live on Fox News Channel at 9 P.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, January 28. Those wanting to see it live should, of course, be mindful of their time zone. There are many, of course, who will be satisfied to watch through one of the many usual channels that pick up debates after the fact. However you watch this year's republican debate, it's sure to be interesting.

Q: tkinter change color of bg and fg while programme is running I want to programme my own notepad. As a function, I want to be able to toggle between white mode and dark mode.
This is my code so far. I know that the problem is that the variables color_fg and color_bg are not transferred to the top, but I just can't find a solution for it.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog

color_fg = "#dbdbdb"
color_bg = "#282b33"

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Improved Notepad)")
root.geometry("800x600")

text_widget = tk.Text(root, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)
text_widget.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

menu_bar = tk.Menu(root, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)

dark_mode = tk.BooleanVar(value=False)

# File menu
file_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)

def open_text():
    filepath = filedialog.askopenfilename()
    with open(filepath, 'r') as f:
        text = f.read()
    text_widget.delete(1.0, tk.END)
    text_widget.insert(1.0, text)

def save_text():
    filepath = filedialog.asksaveasfilename(defaultextension=".txt")
    text = text_widget.get(1.0, tk.END)
    with open(filepath, 'w') as f:
        f.write(text)

file_menu.add_command(label="Open", command=open_text)
file_menu.add_command(label="Save", command=save_text)
file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file_menu)

# Settings menu
def toggle_dark_mode():
    if dark_mode.get():
        color_fg = "#dbdbdb"
        color_bg = "#282b33"
        dark_mode.set(False)
    else:
        color_fg = "#000000"
        color_bg = "#FFFFFF"
        dark_mode.set(True)

settings_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)
dark_mode_toggle = tk.Checkbutton(settings_menu, text="Dark Mode", variable=dark_mode, onvalue=True, offvalue=False)
settings_menu.add_checkbutton(label="Dark Mode", command=toggle_dark_mode)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="Settings", menu=settings_menu)

root.config(menu=menu_bar)
root.mainloop()

A: You have to explicitly change the color in the widget. Also, you aren't associating the variable with the checkbutton menu item. You're associating it with a separate Checkbutton widget that you don't seem to use anywhere.
The following is a working version of your code, with the File menu and some other unnecessary code removed to keep the example short. The key points are:

*

*the call to settings_menu.add_checkbutton adds the variable option to tie it to the variable

*toggle_dark_mode explicitly changes the background and foreground options of the text widget.

import tkinter as tk

color_fg = "#dbdbdb"
color_bg = "#282b33"

def toggle_dark_mode():
    if dark_mode.get():
        text_widget.configure(foreground=color_fg, background=color_bg)
    else:
        text_widget.configure(foreground=color_bg, background=color_fg)

root = tk.Tk()
dark_mode = tk.BooleanVar(value=True)

text_widget = tk.Text(root, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)
text_widget.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True)

menu_bar = tk.Menu(root, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)
settings_menu = tk.Menu(menu_bar, tearoff=0, bg=color_bg, fg=color_fg)
settings_menu.add_checkbutton(label="Dark Mode", command=toggle_dark_mode, variable=dark_mode)
menu_bar.add_cascade(label="Settings", menu=settings_menu)

# sync the color mode with the menu
toggle_dark_mode()

root.config(menu=menu_bar)
root.mainloop()

A:  I want to be able to toggle between white mode and dark mode.

*

*I added an extra function for white mode.

*I added settings_menu.add_checkbutton to the Setting menu.

Boda boda drivers deliver contraceptives to the door during Uganda's COVID-19 lockdown
SafeBoda drivers ready to receive orders for contraceptives such as condoms via the mobile app. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, currently at level 3, UNFPA in Uganda has had to become more innovative in reaching young people and women with sexual and reproductive health-related information and services. © SafeBoda
KAMPALA, Uganda—"I walk through the trading centre on my way home and as I go, I sing a song in Luganda (a local language) 'SafeBoda SafeBoda, who needs a helmet?' Or 'For those who feel cold I have a coat for you*'," said Betty Nagadya. A Village Health Team volunteer who picks up condoms delivered to a nearby health centre by SafeBoda drivers, she distributes them in her community, as part of COVID-19 response efforts supported by UNFPA.
"There are usually [ … ] young people, mostly young men. Many of them are still shy to talk about using condoms but when I sing my song they understand what I mean, so they come and ask questions. I teach them how to use condoms and give them to them. I also go to houses where I know there are people who might need condoms," she said.

Betty is a Village Health Team member attached to Sentema Health Centre II. These community volunteers provide accurate health information, mobilize communities and link people up with health services.
Under Uganda's COVID-19 lockdown, currently at level 3, contraceptives and other services such as HIV test kits, pregnancy test kits and Mama Kits (a standard kit for clean, safe delivery) have been in short supply – but now these items can be ordered using an innovative mobile app that secures delivery to the buyer's doorstep.
An e-shop enables users to order and take delivery of reproductive health commodities at their doorstep in Kampala and Wakiso districts. Using the "Personal Health Shop" on the SafeBoda app, customers can order condoms, contraceptives pills, HIV test kits, pregnancy test kits and Mama Kits conveniently and privately. This service was launched by UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, and the ride-hailing company SafeBoda.
I'm excited that SafeBoda can deliver my reproductive health commodities, especially things we fear to order over the counter.

"I'm excited that, other than delivering other commodities, SafeBoda can also deliver my reproductive health commodities, especially things we fear to order over the counter, such as postinor (emergency oral contraceptive) and condoms. I am sure most people are excited about this. Kudos to these guys," said Flora Peace from Nansana.
COVID-19 adds barrier to accessing health services
In Uganda, the fertility rate is 4.7 children per woman. The modern contraceptive prevalence rate is 31 per cent, while unmet need among women aged 15 to 49 stands at 19 per cent.
The pandemic is compounding the barriers that women and young people face in accessing sexual and reproductive health services. Supply chains have been interrupted, resulting in delays in ensuring that essential health commodities such as contraceptives are available at health facilities and community distribution points.
The e-shop initiative, supported by the Embassy of Sweden in Uganda, is one of the ways that UNFPA is stepping up to address such challenges.

Making the condoms available to [young people] is something I am proud of, because any delay to provide the condoms will put an impact on somebody's life.

"I feel I have played a role to reach my fellow young people because if the condoms are not in the hospital, then the young people are going to put themselves at risk. Making the condoms available to them is something I am proud of, because any delay to provide the condoms will put an impact on somebody's life. Somebody could go in for [unprotected] sex and they could get sexually transmitted infections. We may put more emphasis on COVID-19, and then we are losing people from other diseases which have been there before," he said.
Ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health
Ensuring that people have access to a package of integrated sexual and reproductive health services is critical, including during the current pandemic, said Alain Sibenaler, UNFPA Representative for Uganda.
Through the Personal Health shop initiative, we are able to deliver reproductive health commodities right to people's doorsteps at the click of a button.
"We have had to rethink and become more innovative in reaching young people and women with sexual and reproductive health-related information and services," he said. "Our partnership with SafeBoda has expanded the possibilities of using digital solutions to solve real-time problems. Through the Personal Health shop initiative, we are able to deliver reproductive health commodities right to people's doorsteps at the click of a button."
Partnership to empower communities
To order via the SafeBoda app, the user downloads it onto their smartphone, then selects items and pays with mobile money using SafeBoda credit, or cash on delivery. The closest listed pharmacy within a seven kilometre radius that has the item in stock is identified and linked to the nearest SafeBoda driver. The driver then picks up the item and delivers it to the user.
Sexual and reproductive health has a long-term impact on overall health and development at a personal and macro level.
"Sexual and reproductive health has a long-term impact on overall health and development at a personal and macro level. Our partnership with UNFPA gives us an opportunity to empower communities by making sexual and reproductive health knowledge and products accessible to people across socio-economic groups," said Ricky Rapa Thompson, co-founder of SafeBoda.
All reproductive health items ordered through the Personal Health shop are delivered free of charge. Free condoms provided by the government can also be ordered through the app. The service will continue post COVID-19, for a nominal delivery fee.

What is a Box Motor?
A box motor is a self-propelled boxcar used on a streetcar line or interurban railway.
Written By: E. M. Flanders
A box motor is a self-propelled boxcar used on a streetcar line or interurban railway. Named for its angular appearance, the box motor, like the self-propelled passenger car, runs on electricity that comes from an overhead wire, a third rail or some combination of both and is supplied to traction motors turning the axles. Unlike self-propelled streetcars used to carry passengers, a box motor is used to carry freight. Few, if any, box motors remained in use in the early 21st century.
Not all streetcar lines and interurbans connect with conventional railroads operated with modern diesel locomotives or steam locomotives in the past. Those that do, however, can interchange cars with them and are therefore able to serve their shippers and receivers located in any community reached by a railroad. The catch is that doing so is impossible without a box motor because a conventional railroad's boxcar or other rolling stock has no means of self-propulsion.
An electric railroad operating partially or completely in a rural area would, in its heyday, have probably carried at least some freight to and from farms along its route, and that would've allowed it to use a box motor to deliver commodities or supplies such as bagged feed. The railroad might have run a similarly self-propelled insulated car to collect milk from dairy farms along its route and maintain a cool temperature with ice while transporting it to a central processing plant. It might have operated a self-propelled hopper to carry coal from a supplier to customers or to its own generating plant.
Each of those scenarios presumes that both the seller and the purchaser are located along the same track, because a connecting conventional railroad would have no way to provide electricity to the self-propelled car. The comparable wrinkle in the use of a box motor and one or more unpowered freight cars is that the electric and conventional railroads' equipment must be of the same gauge in order to interchange. The majority of interurbans use the standard 56.5-inch (143.5-cm) gauge because interchange of freight has usually been a key element in their business, but interchange has rarely been a major consideration, and their gauges can vary.

Fashion Polish: piCture pOlish Collector's Edition Leggings & Super Styling review!
piCture pOlish Collector's Edition Leggings & Super Styling review!
I have something out of the ordinary to show you today!
piCture pOlish leggings are a pair of stretchy silky black leggings with gathered bottoms and a very colorful PP bottles pattern. Super soft, high quality, relatively thick but surprisingly lightweight polyester/lycra fabric, they felt extremely comfy on!
Super Styling is a really dense sapphire blue glitter in a matching jelly base, in other words, a bright blue glitter bomb! Even tough the girls at PP took inspiration from my blog to create this color, I had no idea what it looked like before opening my package! LOVE! Formula was easy to work with, sheer on the first coat but completely even and opaque on the second.
I love that piCture pOlish is stepping out of their comfort zone with this collector set. Nail polish themed leggings aren't exactly what I'd first reach for on a daily basis but these are so much fun and feel SO comfy that I couldn't have passed on them!


Albrecht von Haller saw himself as a member of Bernese patrician society, who strove to use his knowledge and his scientific curiosity, as well as his critical judgment, in the service of the republic. This was the main reason that Haller left his post as a professor in Göttingen and returned to Bern. The way for this move was paved while Haller was still abroad, when he was elected to the Great Council in Bern in 1745 with the support of his patron Isaak Steiger. As a member of the Great Council, he was eligible for a career as a magistrate, which he took up upon his return from Göttingen in 1753 – first as head of the town hall (Rathausammann), school inspector (Schulrat), and orphanage administrator, and later as director of the salt works in Roche and public health official (Sanitätsrat). Haller's work as a magistrate – which focused on educational reform, education for industriousness, strategies for reducing vulnerability to crises (issues of medical administration, animal epidemics), and optimised use of local resources (salt, domestic plants) – covered the entire spectrum of the enlightened reform movement in Europe in the second half of the 18th Century, with which Haller had a great deal of interaction. His active role in the Economic Society of Bern, which he served as president for a number of years from 1766, was a direct consequence. His work for the Society included basic publications on native plant resources (*Bäume 1763 , *De plantis pabularibus 1771 , *Genera cerealium 1775–76 ), a preface to a selection of treatises translated from Swedish (*Vorrede Staatswirtschaft 1763 ), a report on the draining of a parcel of land (*Culture 1764 ), and a treatise on combating cattle plague (*Viehseuche 1772 ). Haller's position in the economic and patriotic reform movement and his activities as a magistrate must be considered together for an adequate interpretation, as he was simultaneously active as a scientific expert, administrative official, and government representative with the power to shape public life.

Q: passport-local with mysql not working I am using node.js and passport and mysql for a userlogin.
I the main source is from https://github.com/manjeshpv/node-express-passport-mysql/issues
I want to add more columns in the table. I started with emailfield and change the code like below. I simply added the email variable at the needed places I think. I cannot find the bug where its crashing. without modifying anything, the code does work.
passport.js:
passport.use(
    'local-signup',
    new LocalStrategy({
        // by default, local strategy uses username and password, we will override with email
        usernameField : 'username',
        passwordField : 'password',
        //emailField : 'email',
        passReqToCallback : true // allows us to pass back the entire request to the callback
    },
    function(req, username, password, email, done) {
        // find a user whose email is the same as the forms email
        // we are checking to see if the user trying to login already exists
        connection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?",[username], function(err, rows) {
            if (err)
                log.info(err);
                //return done(err);
            if (rows.length) {
                return done(null, false, req.flash('signupMessage', 'That username is already taken.'));
            } else {
                // if there is no user with that username
                // create the user
                var newUserMysql = {
                    username: username,
                    email: email,
                    password: bcrypt.hashSync(password, null, null)  // use the generateHash function in our user model

                };

                var insertQuery = "INSERT INTO users ( username, password, email ) values (?,?,?)";
                connection.query(insertQuery,[newUserMysql.username, newUserMysql.password, newUserMysql.email],function(err, rows) {
                    newUserMysql.id = rows.insertId;

                    return done(null, newUserMysql);
                });
            }
        });
    })
);

and here the log:

A: This looks to be the problem:
function(req, username, password, email, done) {

You added an extra argument email which shouldn't be there. Since it clobbers the done callback, when your code tries to call it it will cause an "undefined is not a function" error.
If you're passing an extra email property, you can access it through req.body.email (assuming that you're using a POST route to log in).
