Because of the rapidly cooling weather, ants may seek warmth inside your home. If left unattended, they can burrow into the walls or foundation of the structure. To keep ants away from your home, regularly sweep floors and block off small entrances and cracks which can be used as entry points for these tiny pests.
Roaches are naturally drawn towards moisture, which is often available under your home. Roaches can be dangerous because they carry a plethora of diseases and can trigger asthma attacks in children.
Flies also try to extend their lifespan by sneaking into your house when the climate becomes cold. Again, keep your home clean, and block off possible entry points.
Stink bugs and box elders are often found indoors during the fall season. Stink bugs like to make homes inside walls. Although they are not dangerous, they do emit a rather nasty smell. If you find one, it's best to place it outside rather than crushing it. Box elders also seek warmth from the cold, usually entering through window sills and doorways. Block off cracks and entry points to prevent them from entering your home.
If you see one of these pests in your home, there are likely more. Do regular house cleaning, close potential entryways, and call a pest control professional if you suspect there may be an infestation.
Mr. Pest Control cares about your pest problems and are ready to help. As a professional pest control provider in Orillia with over 18 years' experience, we can rid your home of any autumn pests. Call today: (705) 739-7378. We'll keep your home pest-free.

Q: How to return all nodes, properties and property values in a graph? I want to do this in Java API. For each node, I want to return it's labels, properties, and the property values.
What's the best way to do this?

A: This solution uses labels(), keys() and reduce() functions:
match(n)
return
    labels(n) as labels,
    keys(n) as properties,
    reduce(accumulator = [], key IN keys(n) | accumulator + n[key]) as values

A: Using the Java API, you can use the following methods on a Node instance:

*

*To get just the property keys (without their values): PropertyContainer.getPropertyKeys()

*To get a Map of all property keys to their values: PropertyContainer.getAllProperties()

*To get all labels for the node: Node.getLabels().

Local Legend – Mr Nam Sy (Vietnam)
Join our Local Legend, Mr Nam Sy, as he guides you around the Can Tho Large Prison, where he was imprisoned during the war. His stories are remarkable and humbling. You will leave with lifelong memories and a fresh understanding of the true atrocities of this unforgiving period of history.
Local Legend Profile
Introducing our Local Legend, Mr Nam Sy, war hero, storyteller and survivor.
Mr Nam Sy's Story
This is a truly inspirational story of survival and strength of spirit. Born into a revolutionary family in Can Tho, a town on the banks of the Mekong River in Southern Vietnam, Nam Sy's father was part of the revolutionary army fighting for the liberation of his homeland of Southern Vietnam from foreign occupancy.
Despite Nam Sy's best attempts to follow advice from an army commander to pursue his education, he couldn't resist the urge to join the war effort at the age of 15, distributing leaflets and offering any support he could.
Nam Sy learned very quickly the dangerous reality of war. Tragically he was caught and imprisoned in the Can Tho prison, known as the 'Large Prison', in 1968. He spent four traumatic years there and speaks of the torture he and his fellow inmates endured daily. Still active despite their obvious restrictions, they regularly connected with outside fighters and taught new prisoners about survival and spirit. Nam Sy was part of a six-man real-life prison break operation, where tragically he was one of the two unsuccessful prisoners to break free, his punishment saw him moved to Chi Hoa and then Con Dao prisons where his ordeal continued.
Guests meeting Mr Nam Sy should expect to hear a humbling story of suffering and survival; to learn the true atrocities of the war and feel a real authentic connection from an inspirational, brave war hero.
Visit the Can Tho Large Prison with a surviving former prisoner

Mr Nam Sy says
I was part of the war from a young age. The memories for me are as present today as they were then. Together we will return to the Can Tho Prison, where I was captured and tortured. I am an older man now, a storyteller and a survivor. I take joy and pride in sharing my country's history and wish for guests joining me to learn first-hand the pride and bravery of the Vietnamese people.

Thread: Is this a long term problem?
Hi Guys, have had my system running for about 5 months with the Primochill Vue.. I used the primochill prep prior to installing the coolant. I am seeing spot on the piping and even inside of the reservoir that show signs of almost scratching. Is this a long term issue, should I change coolants and should I tear down the system and clean everything out? Pics to show what I am referring to.
sorry about the hazy case. I hate lexan.
Are they air bubbles? If so it should go away.
If the tubing is staining that might be long term ugly.
No no air bubbles.. I might end up redoing the piping once I flush the system. I am worried that the EK Cryo Fuel mixed with the Hue at some point. Even though I did the flush the exact way you are supposed to.
The tubing was used? If so then what we are seeing is the deposits from the old loop.
I ran the Cryo fuel for maybe 3 weeks, then I flushed the system.. First with distilled, then with sys prep as the directions said. Loop was brand new with the Cryo.
Update: I took the whole system apart, the blocks were gunked up.. All the lines had residue in them. Cleaned everything, flushed and flushed. System is all back together and temps are about 5-6 C cooler with all same settings.
I installed an inline filter in my system and was generally surprised by how much debri I was catching even after flushing with a gallon of di water before filling with my fluid.


XJ-13 is a potent hybrid strain with flowers that smell sour, earthy and slightly sweet like citrus fruit with subtle hints of pine. The smoke is thick and menthol-like on the inhale with more of a spiciness experienced on the exhale. This strain will leave users feeling a beautiful and intense combination of pain-relieving limb numbness and body tingling with mostly clear-headed cerebral relaxation.

William Barclay (born 5 December 1907 in Wick, Scotland; died 24 January 1978 in Glasgow, Scotland) was a Scottish author, radio and television presenter, Church of Scotland minister, and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow. He wrote a popular set of Bible commentaries on the New Testament that sold 1.5 million copies.

Life
Barclay's father was a bank manager. Barclay attended Dalziel High School in Motherwell and then studied classics at the University of Glasgow 1925–1929, before studying divinity. He studied at the University Sam Ratulangi Manado during the year 1932-33. After being ordained in the Church of Scotland in 1933, he was minister at Trinity Church Renfrew from 1933 to 1946, afterwards returning to the University of Glasgow as lecturer in New Testament from 1947, and as Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism from 1963.

Religious views
Barclay described himself theologically as a "liberal evangelical." Barclay expressed his personal views in his A Spiritual Autobiography (1977), and Clive L. Rawlins elaborates in William Barclay: prophet of goodwill: the authorised biography (1998). They included:
 belief in universal salvation: "I am a convinced universalist. I believe that in the end all men will be gathered into the love of God."
 pacifism: "war is mass murder".
 evolution: "We believe in evolution, the slow climb upwards of man from the level of the beasts. Jesus is the end and climax of the evolutionary process because in Him men met God."
Journalist James Douglas suggested Barclay was also "reticent about the inspiration of Scripture, critical of the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, and given to views about the virgin birth and miracles which conservatives would find either heretical or imprecise."

Works
While professor, he decided to dedicate his life to "making the best biblical scholarship available to the average reader". The eventual result was the Daily Study Bible, a set of 17 commentaries on the New Testament, published by Saint Andrew Press, the Church of Scotland's publishing house. Despite the series name, these commentaries do not set a program of regular study. Rather, they go verse by verse through Barclay's own translation of the New Testament, listing and examining every possible interpretation known to Barclay and providing all the background information he considered possibly relevant, all in layman's terms. The commentaries were fully updated with the help of William Barclay's son, Ronnie Barclay, in recent years and they are now known as the New Daily Study Bible series.

The 17 volumes of the set were all best-sellers and continue to be so to this day. A companion set giving a similar treatment to the Old Testament was endorsed but not written by Barclay.
In 2008 Saint Andrew Press began taking the content of the New Daily Study Bibles and producing pocket-sized thematic titles called Insights. The Insights books are introduced by contemporary authors, broadcasters and scholars, including Nick Baines and Diane-Louise Jordan.

Barclay wrote many other popular books, always drawing on scholarship but written in a highly accessible style. In The Mind of Jesus (1960) he states that his aim was "to make the figure of Jesus more vividly alive, so that we may know him better and love him more".

Barclay's books on the gospels and Jesus include:

 The Gospels and Acts: Matthew, Mark and Luke
 The Gospels and Acts: John and Acts
 Discovering Jesus
 Jesus of Nazareth (a companion to the miniseries)
 Jesus As They Saw Him
 Crucified and Crowned

 The Plain Man Looks at the Lord's Prayer
 The Old Law and the New Law
 And He Had Compassion: The Miracles of Jesus (Judson Press)

Barclay's books on New Testament studies include:

 The New Testament: A New Translation
 A Beginner's Guide to the New Testament
 The New Daily Study Bible (17 volumes covering the entire New Testament)
 Insights (Series currently extending to 8 titles)
 Good Tidings of Great Joy

 Many Witnesses, One Lord
 Flesh And Spirit: An Examination of Galatians 5:19–23
 Letters to the Seven Churches
 The Men, The Meaning, The Message of the Books

Barclay also wrote two books on Old Testament passages:

 The Lord is My Shepherd

Barclay's theological introductions include:

 The Apostles' Creed
 Conversion
 The Promise of the Spirit
 The Lord's Supper
 Ethics in a Permissive Society
 At the Last Trumpet: Jesus Christ and the End of Time

Evidence suggests that not having a permanent place to call home can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. According to one estimate, the average age of death for a person who is homeless is just 47 years old.
With the latest Government figures indicating that more people than ever are experiencing homelessness, it is essential that people in this situation can access the health and care support they need.
If you don't have proof of address when you want to register with a GP, you can find yourself being turned away.
Healthwatch Croydon recently talked to local homeless people about their experiences of health services. A quarter of the people they spoke to had struggled to register with their GP.
I was living in a tent and I needed ID proof of address, they wouldn't let me register without.
However, not everyone is aware of their rights when it comes to registering with their local GP.
In response to this issue, Groundswell has produced 'My Right to Healthcare' cards, to help people understand their rights when it comes to registering with their GP.
Your immigration status doesn't matter.
They also include Healthwatch's national helpline number, so anyone who is refused registration by their GP for these reasons can share their experience with their local Healthwatch.
In just over a year, 45,000 cards have been distributed to homeless people across London.
One charity worker told Groundswell about the difference this is making.
Being aware of their rights means that rough sleepers will keep the cards in their pockets until they need to go and see a GP and use them almost as ammunition when challenged by receptionists or NHS staff who are unaware.
Despite the publication of the Accessible Information Standard nearly three years ago, people continue to tell Healthwatch about their struggle to access NHS services. Find out how Healthwatch Redbridge have been making a difference.


We've all been through experiences of confrontation or negativity, where someone has said something nasty to you, or you've said something you wish you could take back.
And if you're in the public eye, you can't even post an Instagram without someone having something negative to say.
X factor winners and hit girlband Little Mix have posed naked with insults written across their bodies, to highlight the abuse they receive on social media from trolls on a daily basis.
Words including "ugly", "stupid", "fat", "talentless" and "slutty" are written on the girls, to promote their new song, "Strip", which will feature on their new album, LM5.
The band said that they did it to"encourage and empower people to be who they are".
Little Mix have often been praised for speaking out on issues including female empowerment, body confidence, racism in the music industry, mental health, LGBT issues and experiences with eating disorders.
However, they've also been heavily criticised through the years for their "provocative" choice of outfits on stage, with member Jesy Nelson under particular scrutiny for her looks.
But her opening up about her experiences has helped fans come to terms with their own, and she's credited with improving body positivity and self-love among fans.
LeighAnne also opened up recently about being the band's only black member, saying that she was told she'd have to work "twice as hard" as the other girls, and feeling like she didn't have as many fans as her fellow members.
The band's post and upcoming song is a reminder to all that the words you say have a lasting impact, even if you can't see it.
So, let's all take a leaf out of Little Mix's book, and start promoting kindness and shutting down negativity in ourselves, and when we see it in others.


Who said cats have to stay on all fours? Clearly this kitty can stand firmly on his own two feet.
Excessive tearing is common in dogs and cats, and the causes are many and varied. Unfortunately, solving the problem can often be difficult and frustrating for you, your pet and your vet.

Microsoft introduce their 'slate PC'
By Timon Singh | 01/07/10 - 11:53
Microsoft's 'tablet'
Determined to steal Apple's thunder ahead of their tablet launch, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard have shown off their own touchscreen 'slate PC' at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
2010 has long been predicted to be the 'year of the tablet' and Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer was keen to show that Microsoft would be leading the way in launching 'slate PCs', that are said to bridge the gap between laptops and smartphones.
Apple are planning the launch of their device later in month, with both going on sale later in the year. Microsoft is actually planning to make sure they stay ahead of Apple by launching several 'slate PCs' with different partners such as Archos and Pegatron, as well as HP.
Unknown beauty
Whilst both Microsoft's and Apple's devices have been massively hyped up by the online community, actually very little is known about their specs. Neither have been officially named, being either referred to as 'tablets' or 'slate PCs' and their technical abilities are unknown. It was however confirmed in Las Vegas that Microsoft's tablet will run Windows 7 and Kindle.
During the presentation, in front of an audience of over 3500 press, bloggers, analysts and industry experts, Ballmer showed the prototype being used mainly as an eReader. While he described it as a 'beautiful little product', the fact that so little is known about the device meant that many were left disappointed.
Speaking to the BBC, Paul Miller, senior associate editor of technology website Engadget, said, "What we saw confirmed my worst suspicions that this is your standard Microsoft software in a slate form."
"It's an interesting product in itself, but Microsoft could have gone further. It's not anything new in terms of software and that is what you really need to make a device like this make people want to buy it."
If anything, it built more anticipation for Apple's product - currently dubbed the iSlate - as the Mac company are known for blowing all expectations out of the water.
"Apple could do for the tablet market what it did for smartphones with the iPhone," analyst David Daoud of IDC told USA Today.
Whilst everyone is trying to currently beat Apple in the smartphone market, it seems tech companies are determined not to be left out in the cold this time round. However, if Apple launch another game-changing device, then it is possible they could corner the market, a sector that is already rumoured to be worth close to a billion dollars.

Twenty dead as bus collides with oil tanker in central Pakistan
Rescue workers shift a body of a victim, who was killed after a passenger bus and an oil tanker collided and caught fire, from an ambulance outside Nishtar Hospital in Multan, Pakistan.
A speeding bus collided with an oil tanker in Pakistan, killing 20 people in a fiery crash overnight, police and rescue officials said on Tuesday.
"Three buses were racing. One of them rammed into an oil tanker," police official Imran Shaukat said, describing the incident on a motorway near the central city of Multan.
The crash triggered a fire that engulfed both the tanker and the bus, he said. The oil tanker was beyond identification to determine what company it belongs to, he said.
A spokesman for the motorway police said the tanker's driver fled the scene.
Officials from a state-run rescue service said the bus was bound for the southern port city of Karachi. The rescue service identified the operator as the Daewoo bus company and said at least 20 passengers had died, some of them burnt completely.
An employee who answered the phone at Daewoo's Lahore office confirmed that its bus was involved in the incident and that the driver was among the dead. Senior officials at the company were not available for comment.
Six passengers survived, an official of the rescue service told Dunya TV.
"The fire was raging when we got here," he said, adding that most of the passengers were caught by the fire in their sleep.
Deadly road accidents are common in Pakistan, mainly due to speeding and poor road infrastructure. An oil tanker overturned and caught fire in 2017 in the region, killing more than 100 people.

Single mothers are remarkable. They are providers and nurturers, protectors and healers; and they rarely find time for those desperately needed personal breaks. They function as both mom and dad. Their married friends don't understand why they're so exhausted, and their single friends don't understand why they don't "get out" more often. They are stuck somewhere between needing help and wanting to prove they can do without. It's easy to feel alone in the single-mother world. I know this because, for a while, I was one too.
It only takes one person to make an immeasurable difference.
The touching note was written on receipts, and it was one of the most uplifting and gratifying moments for which this single mother will always remember and be grateful.
"I do not know your back story, but I have had the privilege of watching you parent your children for the past 30 minutes. I have to say thank you for parenting your children in such a loving manner.
I have watched you teach your children about the importance of respect, education, proper manners, communication, self control, and kindness all while being very patient. I will never cross your path again but am positive that you and your children have amazing futures.
Our world needs more of this! Single mothers are working hard, and an occasional "You know what? You're doing great!" goes a long way. It can revitalize their defeated hearts, making it that much easier to care for their children, alone, one more day.
Are you a single mother, or do you know a single mother, in need of some uplifting moments? Please share!

User Interface Options
Roles determine what a user can and can't do within Blackboard Learn. Administrators use roles to group privileges into sets that can be assigned to user accounts. Every user associated with a role has all of the privileges included in the role.
When a user account is assigned multiple roles, the user receives all of the privileges included in all of the roles. For example, a user is assigned a role that doesn't include access to the course Control Panel. However, the user is also assigned a role that does include access to the Control Panel. The user receives the privilege, even though it was excluded from one of the assigned roles.
About standard roles
When Blackboard Learn is installed, several standard roles are created. Administrators can edit these standard roles.
System Roles: System roles control the administrative privileges assigned to a user. This enables administrators to share administrative privileges and functions with other users in Blackboard Learn.
Course and Organization Roles: Course and organization roles control access to the content and tools within a course or organization. Each user is assigned a role for each course or organization in which they participate. For example, a user with a role of Teaching Assistant in one course can have a role of Student in another course. Instructors can use these roles to delegate some of the responsibility for maintaining the course.
Institution Roles: Institution roles control what brands, tabs, and modules users see when they log in to Blackboard Learn. Institution roles also grant or deny access to Content Collection files and folders. All licenses have a limited default set of Institution roles.
More on roles and privileges
About custom roles
Administrators can create custom roles by copying an existing role and editing its properties and privileges. You can also create a new, blank role and add privileges to it.
User privileges
Each role is mapped by default to a base level of privileges. Administrators may finely customize the power each role may have. There are hundreds of privileges available and administrators are able to see all available privileges and the roles for which those privileges are permitted. Each privilege lists the role types and role IDs that have the privilege.
Manage Privileges
The Privileges page allows administrators to see all available privileges and the roles for which those privileges are permitted. Each privilege lists the role types and role IDs that have the privilege.
Search for privileges
Go to Administrator Panel > Privileges.
In the Search box, type the search terms.
Select whether your search terms apply to Privileges, System Roles, or Course Roles.
Select Go.
In the list of results, select a Role ID to manage its privileges. You're brought to the role's Manage Privileges page, where you can permit or restrict privileges.
Evaluate whether privileges are appropriate
Review the privileges granted to various roles, and determine whether they are necessary. This supports the security principle of least privilege. One example is whether the assigned roles require the privilege of Add/Edit trusted content with scripts. This allows assigned users the ability to enter dynamic content into the system whether they are malicious or not.
Authoring advanced HTML content
Safe HTML is only applicable to users who do not have the Add/Modify Trusted Content privilege (also called the Add/Edit Trusted Content With Scripts privilege, depending on the version of Blackboard Learn you are running). Users with this privilege can enter unrestricted/trusted HTML, meaning they are not bound to the Safe HTML rules. By default, Blackboard Learn gives this privilege to administrators, course builders, graders, instructors, and teaching assistants. All other roles don't have this privilege by default, but it can be added on an as-needed basis.
Fine-grained guest and anonymous access
Guests and observers are available in the Original Experience only.
You can control whether or not the guest and observer roles have access to your course. There are multiple levels in the application that have guest access. For example, there is guest access to the system, to courses, and to organizations. For guests and observers, availability of course tools can be configured at a fine-grained level.
Guests in a course can include guest lecturers, potential students, or other users who are not directly participating in your course.
Observers are typically assigned to follow specific users in Blackboard Learn without interacting with the system. Observers are able to view the course and track student progress. Also, you can communicate Early Warning System notifications to observers as well as students, or just to the observers of a student.

I will be buying a cherry/walnut gloss bedroom suite soon - what colors should I paint my bedroom to go with this cherry/walnut color?
I do like the colors lavendar and gray but that was before I chose this bedroom suite and I'm not sure if they would be a good choice now.
Would those colors look OK?
I think you would be well advised to have a look at the Behr Color Smart tool which shows you how groups of colors work together.
I started by choosing the 'orange' family of colors (as, rather oddly, there is no 'brown') and used the 'Fine Tune' option (lighter, darker, add more red etc.) until I got what I think is something like the color of your bedroom suite - Rodeo Red. It then offered me a number of suggestions for colors which would coordinate well with this color.
One of the options is shown above although there were others which would possibly be more to your liking and I am sure you will be able to start with a better match to your furniture than the Rodeo Red I used.
This is a really useful tool and I am sure you will find it easy to use.
Personally, I don't think lavendar or gray would look right with this bedroom suite.
I always use the Behr Color Smart tool when I am decorating.
It often throws up color combinations I would never have thought of but really like.

Q: SOAP request by JAVA vs PROC SOAP in SAS We have a SAS code where Proc SOAP is deployed to send a request to outer system and we want to utilize java code to perform a request instead of PROC SOAP in SAS.
What would be a solution for this task?

A: It is important to note that PROC SOAP (and PROC HTTP) are just SAS wrappers around Java libraries.  So you asking to reinvent the wheel.  Though sometimes SAS's wheels are less than round...
Solution 1:
Write a command line Java program that makes the call.  Have it take in a text file as input and output a text file with the result.  Use a Data Step to create the input file, an x command to call the program, and another Data Step to read the resulting text file.
Solution 2:
Write a simple object in Java that does the call.  Use the Java Object elements in a Data Step to instantiate the object, populate the appropriate variables, and run the appropriate method.  See documentation here: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lecompobjref/67221/HTML/default/viewer.htm#p1p8iy7j6aa64mn13g6a1cvauwww.htm
Option 1 is more "old school" SAS and shouldn't be too hard.  Your Java programmer and SAS programmer just have to agree on the input and output formats.
Option 2 is more involved and will require closer working between Java and SAS programmer.
In option 2 the SAS code and Java are more tightly coupled.  For that reason (and a reason why you would use SOAP services to begin with), I would pick option 1.

The 561-unit chain has been one of the steadiest performers in casual dining during Colosi's tenure.
Texas Roadhouse President Scott Colosi Retires
CEO Kent Taylor will assume his duties, the company said.
By Danny Klein | June 2019 | Chain Restaurants
Texas Roadhouse announced June 21 that president Scott Colosi retired from the company. The move went into effect the previous day.
Colosi joined Texas Roadhouse in 2002 as chief financial officer and was promoted to president in 2011.
The steakhouse chain's founder and chief executive officer, Kent Taylor, will assume Colosi's role. "Scott has provided tremendous value to Texas Roadhouse over the past 17 years," Taylor said in a statement. "He was instrumental in taking us public in 2004 and has contributed significantly to the growth of our brands. We wish Scott the best of luck as he embarks on his retirement."
READ MORE: Texas Roadhouse and rising labor costs square off.
According to a securities filing, Colosi received 25,000 shares of restricted stock by Texas Roadhouse on Thursday. Ten thousand of the shares vest January 8, 2020. The remainder a year later.
The 561-unit chain has been one of the steadiest performers in casual dining during Colosi's tenure. Texas Roadhouse was recently named America's top brand in the space by the Harris Poll.
In the first quarter, Texas Roadhouse's same-store sales jumped 5.2 percent at company-run stores, including 2.6 percent traffic growth, and 4.3 percent at franchised units (468 locations are corporate). The other 2.6 percent came from an increase in average check.
In the past decade, the chain has boosted its average-unit volumes from about $3.6 billion to $5.2 million.
Colosi had also held the interim CFO post for nearly three years before Tonya Robinson was promoted to the post in May 2018. He assumed the interim position in January 2015 following the departure of Price Cooper to Krispy Kreme.
No reason was given for Colosi's departure. The move marks the third major casual chain to have a top executive retire in recent months. Bloomin' Brands CEO Liz Smith announced her departure from the Outback parent's top position in March. EVP and chief financial and administrative officer Dave Deno took over. Smith shifted to a role of executive chairman of Bloomin's board.
Red Robin CEO Denny Marie Post retired in April. Board chair Pattye Moore is currently helming the spot.

The Kwara state government on Tuesday put its current debt profile at N30.2 billion. It added that the debt has a monthly repayment of N496.3 million.
The Commissioner for Finance, Alhaji Demola Banu, said the debt stood at N31.5 billion in 2017 and N30.8 billion at the end of 2018 as opposed to social media speculation of N50.2 billion.
Giving a breakdown of the current indebtedness, Banu explained the N30.2 billion includes N15.3 billion as the balance of the Federal Government restructured loan, N4, 003 billion as salary bail out, excess crude account loan outstanding of N9.3 billion and vehicle loan balance of N128.9 million.
Others are the Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme (CACS) and Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) agriculture scheme with respective balances of N646.2 million and N679.2 million as well as International Aviation College loan balance of N96.1 million.
He clarified the repayment of N496.4 million is deducted from the state's monthly federal allocation.
Banu added the figure includes a monthly deduction of N39.6 million as repayment for foreign loans obtained by the government in the 1970s.
Giving a further breakdown, Banu explained that the federal government restructured the state government's short- and long-term bank loans to reduce monthly repayment, while the state also benefited from N5b salary bailout loan in 2015.
The commissioner stated the excess crude account loans were federal government-backed bank facilities, which served as seed money for the Kwara State Infrastructure Development Fund (IF-K) and payment for ongoing projects in the state while CACS and ABP are state-government guaranteed Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) loans to farmers in the state.

Post-referendum Crimea and its Russian Future: Voices from the Inside
The Paris Globalist Team September 15, 2014
This article was originally published on 10th September 2014 in the Sydney Globalist.
In this piece Olga Oleinikova & Oleg Skrypka explore daily life in post-referendum Crimea. Twelve "personal" stories from residents of Simferopol and Sevastopol explore concepts such as identity and belonging.
A tense political situation between Russia and Ukraine has been simmering over recent months. A small peninsula in the Black Sea called Crimea became a source of controversy, political debate and international sanctions against Russia. Since 1783, as the result of the RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) aftermath, the territory of the peninsula has belonged to the Russian Empire. In Soviet times, according to Khrushchev's 1954 decree, Crimea was presented to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Crimea, with autonomous status, remained a part of Ukraine.

The political crisis during late 2013 and early 2014 led to the secession of Crimea from Ukraine and reunification with Russia. This is a political situation that no doubt suits Vladimir Putin, bolstering his chances at the next election. In March 2014 the decision about the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (ARC) was unquestionably made in unilateral manner, but it did not carry any military violence. However, the presence of Russian military forces at the time of the Crimean referendum is undeniable. The secession of Crimea is the first bloodless take over in Russian history. This scenario became possible only with strong support of the local population in Crimea. The majority of the Crimeans interviewed for this piece noted that it was the not the annexation of Crimea, with many stating that they "decided their fate themselves" in the referendum. Others stressed that Crimea has never been purely Ukrainian. "If you examine the history of Crimea, Scythians and Greeks inhabited this territory, from the 14th century – the Tatars. The Turks, the British, and French invaded the Crimea. In XVIII century, Catherine II united Crimea with Russia, by the way with the consent of the Tatar Khanate. Tatars were exhausted by constant attacks from the outside," explains Nikolai, a 62-year-old civil engineer.
These attitudes were confirmed by the referendum regarding the status of Crimea held on March 16, 2014, which asked the population of the ARC and Sevastopol whether they wanted to join Russia as a federal subject, or whether they wanted to restore the 1992 Crimean Constitution and Crimea's status as a part of Ukraine. 96.77% in the ARC and 95.6% in Sevastopol supported the reunification of Crimea with Russia. On March 18, 2014 an agreement was signed declaring the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (Ukrainian territory 1954 – 2014) a part of the Russian Federation. Ukraine and the West have not recognized the declaration of independence of Crimea, nor its entry into Russia.
Since numerous news sources, international and Ukrainian, present distorted data or are politically biased, 12 locals in Crimea were interviewed to provide insight into current attitudes in Crimea and post-referendum life on the peninsular. All respondents were asked the following questions: (1) How do you feel about the fact that Crimea joined Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation? (2) What in your opinion caused the disconnection of Crimea from Ukraine? (3) How did you vote in the referendum and did you apply for Russian citizenship? (4) How do you see the future of Crimea and your own future now?
Out of a dozen respondents only four participated in the referendum. It is interesting that in the case of all twelve respondents participated, seven of them would have voted for reunification with Russia. These facts suggest that the results of the referendum are not open and transparent, and that in the case of full transparency and 100% turnout, the results would look more like 70 – 75% in support of Russia.
Some of the interviewed Crimean residents explained their absence from the referendum by claiming that "the majority would vote for reunification with Russia anyway." Crimean Tatars completely boycotted the referendum. Tatars largely support Ukraine's current politics and thus European integration. They are scared of possible deportations from Crimean territory.
Alim, an interviewed Crimean Tatar, stated: "I do not link my future to Russia, I suppose I will have to leave my Motherland again. Once, we, Tatars, were kicked out [during the 1944 deportation under Soviet rule]. I have fears that we, indigenous people, will be oppressed in many ways again. I will never take Russian citizenship and I did not vote in the referendum. It was illegal and absurd."
Throughout the interview Alim and many other Tatars recalled the state-organized deportation of the Crimean Tatars from the Crimean Peninsula by the Soviet Union in 1944. The forced deportation was ordered by Joseph Stalin as a form of collective punishment for alleged collaboration with the Nazi occupation regime in Taurida Subdistrict during 1942-1943. The event is also known as Sürgünlik to Crimean Tatars (meaning "exile"). Tatars interviewed for this piece appeared to be fearful about the repeat of such a situation under Russian rule.
Despite the dominant attitude among the Tatars being negativity towards Russia, it could be said that the vast majority of population on the Crimean Peninsula were pleased about becoming a part of Russia.
Interviewees stated that life in Crimea after the referendum is positively changing and rebuilding. Many problems, such as the re-registration of property, change of mobile operators, introduction of new banking system, examination of and adoption of new legislation, do not scare Crimeans. The majority does not appear to be afraid of current hardships.
Euphoria from the reunification with Russia has not been lost yet, as the population believes that after complete integration with the Russian Federation Crimea will start new life with higher wages, with development of small and medium-sized businesses and advanced tourism infrastructure. Several respondents talked about "moral satisfaction" from unification with Russia.
"For the first time in many years, Crimeans saw real fireworks over the town square. The government no longer saves money on Crimea. Russia has introduced financial support schemes to help industries to restore their economic power. An important thing is that for the first time in many years residents of Crimea felt what patriotism is, what the Russian spirit is and how much of it is there – behind the Kerch Strait. Now everyone again feels that there is a large real Motherland!" – says a 25 year- old lawyer.
According to the majority of Crimeans, the split occurred in the country due to differences in history and contrary values between the western and southeastern regions of Ukraine.
All respondents, except Crimean Tatars, are very positive about the prosperous future of Crimea. They believe that establishment of a special economic zone on the territory of the Republic of Crimea will inevitably lead to increase in the economic activity and the development of infrastructure on the peninsula. Some Crimeans are not in a hurry to get Russian passports, while others want to become full citizens of the Russian Federation as soon as possible to move freely in its territory, to enter universities, or to get jobs in their professions.
Despite the euphoria, age was a key factor in determining opinions of Crimeans from the inside of the Republic of Crimea. Young people are ambivalent, afraid and perplexed; many of them feel more Ukrainian than ever before. Older generations who remember Soviet times are strongly linked with Russia. For example, a 62-year-old young civil engineer, expressed the following feelings about the situation.
"My attitudes to the whole situation are positive. Today all Crimeans are tired of the persistent Ukrainianisation and centralization during the past 23 years of Ukrainian independence. We were constantly told what language to communicate in, in what language to write. Political instability and chaos in Ukraine was the main cause of Crimean reunification with Russia. Thus, we held a referendum and decided to live in a country that protects citizen's rights and stops the lawlessness fuelled by the "rulers" of Ukraine, who are themselves dividing people of the country into the West and the East. The referendum was held openly, there was no pressure from the Crimean leadership. My family, consisting of five people, voted unanimously for entry into Russia. Previously, my children did not participate in elections. I can also say that my neighbours almost unanimously voted to join Russia."
Ukrainians and Russians, both living abroad and in the epicenter of the events, still continue to actively discuss the secession of Crimea and its possible return to Ukraine. These discussions are full of both overtly anti-Russian and pro-Russian attitudes. Ukraine still hopes to return Crimea. For many Ukrainians living in mainland Ukraine, it seems that Crimeans need to be rescued from Russia. But an invasion would be a mistake, which could possibly lead to war, because the majority of Crimeans have already decided on their future – their Russian future.

This is interesting in a morbid kind of way. The Springer corporation yesterday gave Israel the original blueprints for the Auschwitz death camp. Apparently, Springer, which publishes Bild, Germany's biggest-selling tabloid, acquired them last year. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in Europe for discussions with George Mitchell, accepted them on behalf of the country. The blueprints, which include sketches of for the original concentration camp (Auschwitz I) and the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp (Auschwitz II) that was built later, will now be displayed in Yad Vashem.
I wonder what the West German student movement would have made of this. Axel Springer was supportive of Israel during the Six-Day War, one of the reasons the students hated him so much. Ulrike Meinhof wrote a particularly sarcastic column in konkret shortly afterwards. Conversely, Springer's support for Israel seemed to them to prove Israel was a "bridgehead of American imperialism in the Middle East". As I mentioned in a previous post, the current editor of Die Welt, a Springer-owned broadsheet, is Thomas Schmid, a former member of Revolutionary Struggle, one of the groups that emerged from the student movement.
One of the other weird connections in this story is that Netanyahu's brother, Yonatan, was the only Israeli soldier killed during the Entebbe raid in July 1976. In what was code-named Operation Thunderbolt, 29 Israeli soldiers made a surprise landing at Entebbe airport to free Jewish hostages who had been "separated" from the other passengers of an Air France jet by two Arab terrorists and two West Germans, Winfried Böse and Brigitte Kuhlmann. Thomas Schmid actually knew Böse. When I interviewed him for my book, he told me the Entebbe hijacking was "the first time we noticed that in a sense we [the 1968 generation] were not that far from the generation we had denounced".

Report: Many charter schools do without
Here's something important about charter schools that mostly is overlooked: When it comes to facilities, they tend to be pretty modest.
Many have smaller classrooms than traditional public schools. And many don't have libraries, or computer labs or adequate kitchens.
A new survey of charter schools in 10 states highlights what charters face in terms of facilities – and why, perhaps, charter advocates in states like Florida are seeking recurring sources of money for those needs.
Put together by the Charter School Facilities Initiative, a joint effort by the Colorado League of Charter Schools and the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, the survey did not include Florida. But there's little doubt that many charter operators in the Sunshine State will identify with the findings:
In each of the surveyed states, at least 60 percent of the charter classrooms were considerably smaller than those in district schools.
Fewer than 50 percent have a kitchen that allows the school to prepare meals on site and qualify for free, federally-funded meal programs.
Many middle and high school charters don't have access to gyms. In Tennessee, 53.3 percent of them don't have access. In Indiana, it's 50 percent.
In almost every state, a majority of charter schools don't have at least one specialized instructional place, such as a library, computer lab or music classroom. In Indiana, 71.4 percent of charters lack a library. In New Jersey, 60.6 percent don't have a computer lab. In Texas, 56.2 percent don't have an art or music room.
Charters, on average, spend more than 10 percent of their operating budgets on facilities instead of using the money for hiring additional teachers or purchasing curricular materials.
The report offers some ideas for states to help charter schools with capital funding, including creating a state grant program and/or loan program for charter school facilities. Washington, D.C.'s loan program totals more than $30 million. Another possibility: states could give charters equal access to tax-exempt bonding authorities or a charters-only bonding authority. Connecticut has provided public charter schools with $20 million in bond financing for facilities.
Florida charters didn't get the recurring funding they wanted this legislative session for construction and maintenance. Lawmakers did agree to a one-time $91 million – $36 million more than last year – but with 203,000 students and 579 charters, supporters said it's still not enough.
Gov. Rick Scott approved the allocation last week.

Well, it's Regionals and the season finale so let's nerf (I'm sorry, have them progress to their natural conclusion) as many plot threads as possible.
To start things off with a gripe, let me just say that I can't stand the way that this show goes out of the way to point out its own flaws. Yeah, nobody cares whether Will and Sue are or are not friends, but you don't need to tell us that, show. It's not funny, it's not cute, and it's obnoxious. And Glee does that. All. The. Time.
Thing of note: filling out a Scantron in crayon breaks things. Also: Brittany apparently has the mathematical secrets of the universe contained within her head. As such, she thinks she is better than everyone else, putting down the whole Glee club, demanding all of the solos, and dumping Sam via text. I'm constantly amazed (read: not amazed at all) how happy this show is to shoot likable characters in the face for the sake of, well, nothing worthwhile. Sue stops in to knock some sense into her and that does nothing except provide Sue a paycheck this week, but Santana shows up (NY to OH flights are super cheap, obviously) and gets to the heart of the matter: Brittany was accepted to MIT but she has to leave immediately. I'm not going to get into how a character can just go to college when they have not yet graduated high school, but hopefully this leads to a Brittany that actually has a realistic level of intelligence to her.
Rachel wins. She sings good and she wins. Rachel wins everything. I type this as she sings but it's already obvious she wins. We won't find out till next season, but yeah, she wins. Next.
I did particularly like the way Marley just sidled out of the conversation.
Despite being refused by Burt last week, Blaine is set on marrying Kurt. Based on everything he says, it seems like he's so excited that gay marriage is legal that he's willing to jump all of the guns that ever existed in order to prove a point. He seems downright surprised that the jeweler he goes to has no issue with gay marriage, almost as if he was expecting a confrontation and wanted to get all high and mighty. That the jeweler is gay and manages to convince Blaine to wait is certainly a way to push things off till next season, but I can't help but feel that Blaine is the wrong character to suddenly leap head first into this.
…get married. With absolutely no foreshadowing or build-up. Whatever.
Just occurred to me that Regionals is not the same as Nationals, so this whole season has taken up less than a school year. I'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to work since the show has more or less stayed in time with the calendar holidays, but whatever, Earth-G.
And I have surprisingly little to say about this. "All or Nothing" is not a terribly great song, but the other performances were good renditions of all right songs.
Everything was fine this week.
It's a big comedown, as far as season finales go, from the fantastic one-two punch of Nationals and graduation last year, and it seriously doesn't even feel like a finale. I can only hope next year the New York plotlines will be a little less annoying, and the stuff in Lima will actually do something new for a change rather than ape old plotlines, but I suppose we shall see.
I didn't like it. I mean, that should be pretty obvious when most weeks the best thing I can say about this show is that it didn't offend me too much, but it's not like I hated everything here. While a lot of the new characters were one-off copies of old characters (Ryder = Finn, Jake = Puck), by the end of the season they at least had some original twists to them, and they were all tolerable. By that same token, some of my favorite characters from past seasons got stuck in awful plot lines with Kate Hudson or got involved with fashion magazines or, more commonly, dropped off the face of the Earth until sweeps hit and the writers decided they needed random cameos. Then there was awful stuff happening in Lima like a fake school shooting and random molestation. So, yeah, didn't like it, sometimes hated it, but it wasn't bad enough to drive me away forever.
So we'll leave things for the season with my favorite New Directions 2.0 performance. It's nowhere near as good as the original song, but no Glee song ever is. This one had a level of fun to it that I thought wasn't matched anywhere else in the season.

Here's why this is worth thinking about: All of us live with our doubts even as we pray, worship, and try to keep the faith. Personally, I find myself in prayer way more during times of fear and doubt than I do when I feel like my "light is shining." If I use my own life as an average test-case, I would have to admit that there are times when it is easier to have faith than it is to have courage. This is not to say that having faith is always easy, but rather that having courage can be hard.
Faithful courage is living out of God's faith in us. Leading from this place is about as good as it gets. This kind of God-gifted vulnerability is huge. This is the space in our lives when we can lead amazing things. When we can fully show up and be seen. This is our most innovative self. This is when we join in being co-creators with a generous God.
And without creating, you can't join in God's mission.

Prep: 5 minutes; Cook: 7 minutes. To vary the flavor slightly, use any type of flavored mustard. Honey mustard or Creole mustard are two good choices.
Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Spoon half of mustard mixture evenly over steak, and broil 4 minutes. Turn steak, and spread remaining mustard mixture over steak. Broil 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a serving platter; sprinkle with parsley and pepper.

I've written a React code to pull the data.
Code:
import React from 'react';
// async
import { useAsync } from 'react-async';

const loadUsers = async () =>
  await fetch("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=bengaluru&appid={API_KEY}")
    .then(res => (res.ok ? res : Promise.reject(res)))
    .then(res => res.json())

export default function Dashboard() {

    const { data, error, isLoading } = useAsync(
        {
            promiseFn: loadUsers
        }
    )
    if (isLoading) return "Loading..."
    if (error) return `Something went wrong: ${error.message}`
    console.log("Data is", data)
    if (data)

    return (

Weather Details

            {data.list.map((weather, index) => (

{weather.temp_min}

{weather.temp_max}

            ))}

    )

}

But it is empty as shown here...

How can I pull the data?

A: I'm not sure if your data is actually being pulled into the frontend, but if it is, I think the issue is when you map over it.  When you use data.list.map((weather, index) => (, in that instance weather is each item in list.  So instead of weather.min_temp (which doesn't exist) I think you're looking for weather.main.min_temp and weather.main.max_temp.
{data.list.map((weather, index) => (

{weather.main.temp_min}

{weather.main.temp_max}

))}

As an aside, it's not recommended to use index as a key.  Maybe the dt is a unique value that you can use as a key?

What do we understand by "godliness"'? What does it mean for you?
I think for different people it has different meaning. Some feel godly by burning incense for deities, some go for a long stretch of fasting, some beat themselves up as penance for their sins and afterwards feel holy and godly( once sins have been paid for). Some feed deities with fruits, some chant entire daylong to keep mind focused, few feed beggars after breaking their fasts and so on. The list is endless. People follow different faiths and relate it to godliness. Unfortunately many catchhold of various earthly teachers, who teach them the same things that are written in the scriptures centuries ago, as well as add on ( distorted truths) some messages for their personal gains, to continue donations for their organizations.
Endless days I worshipped same way. Had many queries I wanted God to answer, but I was really disheartened to know, not a single question was answered. My questions and prayers remained unheard, unanswered. And I was still in turmoil from within, inspite of my many prayers.
Yes, I was demoralized. All I wondered was, if there ever was a GOD, why isn't he listening to my prayers. Is anyone even aware that I shed much tears in anticipation that someday my questions will be answered and prayers heard?
I998 I was saved, brought under Grace, and truly accepted Jesus as my personal Savior. It was then when I started getting answers to all the questions I had in my mind since childhood. And I realized, to get your answers, you need to know who God is.
Jeremiah 33:3 ""call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"".
What mighty promises !! The creator of the Universe, is going to answer me?Can you believe it? Yes, He answers, He hears.
All these years I was wondering if God really saw my tears. And here I read He not only saw, but kept a record. All the scriptures were coming alive in my life. Anything I would pray for, I would see God taking prompt action, and not delaying justice.
He had to show who He was. I had to see and understand who He is 😊 . It was a beautiful journey of unlearning all traditions and rituals I grew up with, also a journey of learning to be in real fellowship with my best friend, my Heavenly Dad ……my God.
My joy was visible to the world, so was the peace He filled me with. From that day on, I understood Godliness as only a "personal relationship and fellowship with God"". Rituals do not matter, my bodily cleanliness doesn't matter. If at a moment I am filled with an urge to worship, it doesn't matter if I have taken shower or not. All that matters, is there are intense moments, when I just want to be in His Holy presence, and His glory washes me clean. Jesus was and is forever there to guide as God the Son….The obedient Son , who taught me obedience towards God's ways, God's beautiful unseen plans for me, God's commands to trust in Him alone with a childlike faith. ( God has revealed Himself to mankind in three facets, God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. Though God Himself is Singular. Deuteronomy 6: 4 records The Lord Our God is One).
I simply followed. The outcome was all the more beautiful. I learnt Who He is, what He wants out of my life, what is the purpose of bringing me in a ""Dad and daughter relationship"".
Exodus 33:18-23 records, Moses wanted to see God, His face. But God replied Moses's request with His goodness and kindness. ""I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim MY name, THE LORD, before you, for I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy and loving kindness on whom I will show mercy and loving kindness. ( Romans 9:15, 16). Exodus 33: 23 records, on Moses's insistence, God said, ""I will take my hand and you will see my back, but my face shall not be seen, for no man shall see me and live"".
By now I was growing in His love. He showed up against my enemies, when I felt overwhelmed( Joshua 1:5 "" no one will be able stand up against you all the days of your life"") , He roared like a lion of Judah when I felt helpless. He made my enemies come from one direction and flee from many( Isaiah 42:13 "The Lord will go forth like a mighty man, He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud, He shall prevail against His enemies"), He gave me victory in everything He required me to do in various phases of my life.
I knew I am in the presence of ONE AND ONLY HOLY GOD who never forsakes, never leaves us if we learn to trust in Him.
I did, and I never looked back.
Godliness means my relationship with my Heavenly dad. Godliness also means following His commands. Understanding and abiding by the Truth always , The WORD OF GOD".
I always felt IF people had put some effort in the least,to know and understand God's nature and persona, world wouldn't have so much cruelty, hardships and pains, because then our loving God would have changed all the hardened close hearts and spiritually blind people would see truth. But people pretend too busy for God and His words and His ways (unless ofcourse when they are in crisis), hence Satan deceives and keeps people under His clutch with spiritual blindness. And deception.
2 Timothy 4: 3 "For the time is coming when people will not tolerate sound instructions, but having ears itching ( for something pleasing and gratifying ) they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold. And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and manmade fictions". The day is here. No one wants to sit down to know the Truth DIRECTLY FROM THE SCRIPTURE, which is so easy, but go all the way to hear humans who are extracting money from them, deceiving them by pretending Holy and wasting everyone's time, and Satan's own, are fine with it.
2)	Before preparing meals for God, if we remember, He is the provider for the entire Universe, it would be really good.
3)	Taking a shower doesn't make us Holy and worthy to worship. It's a union of our souls with God's Spirit. Body doesn't have any role to play. We should concentrate more on our truthful genuine worship than mere superficial cleanliness. Our hearts need to be clean and turn away from sins and focus on God alone.
4)	Most importantly, if we know the simple fact, that only God is Holy , worthy to be worshipped, and there is no one like Him ( 1Samuel 2:2, there is no one holy like the Lord, there is no one besides you, there is no Rock like our God), we will spiritually mature and real growth will happen in our lives. Always remember, we can never be worthy because of our good works, we are saved by HIS GRACE.

Are we about ready to leave the ICU?
Published on December 11, 2018 by mellowdee55
August 26, 2018. After having spent an enjoyable evening in Johnson City, Stan and I left for Temple at 7:35 A.M. We arrived at my parents' home at 9:40 A.M., unloaded the car, and headed to the hospital. Unfortunately, we just missed seeing the doctor during rounds. Dad was on dialysis, which had started at 6:00 A.M. Rachel, the dialysis tech, stopped by shortly after 10:00 A.M. to check on Dad, and said that he hadn't put up any fuss when she started the SCUF dialysis session. I was glad that he was having more fluid removed and was encouraged that he could withstand the loss of the fluid while still maintaining adequate blood pressure. I had hoped that Natalie would be back as Dad's nurse and was a little disappointed to see that the name Leslie had replaced hers.
Dad had slipped down the bed, and I used the call button to summon a nurse to reposition him. Instead of Leslie, a male nurse and a female aide entered the room. I immediately recognized the nurse as Fred and said that the last time that I had seen him, his wife had just had a child. He recognized me but said that he didn't think that I was correct because his youngest daughter was three years old. When I told him that Dad had been a patient here in 2015, he said that he hadn't realized that that much time had elapsed. It seemed like a mini-homecoming in some alternate life.
Dad talked a lot this morning, and most of what he had to say was pretty depressing. He said that he thought that he and Mom had changed mentally, and he implied that his life wasn't worth saving. Today was the first day that he'd been talking since the surgery, and I asked him to wait another day before we discussed these serious topics. This talk was also upsetting Mom, and I wanted to redirect the conversation.
Because we had missed the morning rounds with the doctors, Leslie provided us with an update. They had changed his antibiotic, but his white blood cell count was still trending upward. I told her that I had fed Dad some gruel on Thursday morning and was wondering if he could begin eating again. She said that she would try a bedside swallow test to see if he could swallow a pill. I told her that with his history of aspiration, we would prefer to have Speech involved in any swallow test. If she did do the bedside swallow test, I asked that she not use a straw, which changes the shape of the mouth during swallowing and can affect the test.
The nephrologist and his resident stopped by shortly after 11:00 A.M. The doctor asked Dad how he was doing, which was a mistake on his part because Dad started complaining about the hospital, beginning with his stay in 2015. When the doctor explained that Dad was having dialysis to remove fluid, Dad started to give him some attitude about having dialysis. While I was explaining to Dad about the stress that the excess fluid had on his organs and why he needed dialysis, the doctor left. I was certainly glad that Dad was awake and somewhat alert, but he was not the greatest patient in the world and was a bit challenging to control. When Dad asked me what we were going to do for the rest of the day, he got a little annoyed when I said that he was going to stay in bed. By 11:45 A.M., the cold of the hospital was beginning to bother Mom, so she and I went home for lunch.
When we returned to the hospital at 1:30 P.M., I was surprised to see that Dad was off of dialysis. Leslie said that because his fistula had clogged, they had stopped his session 90 minutes early. Still, they were able to remove 2,225 ml. During the past two days, just over 4 liters of fluid had been removed, and Mom and I saw a noticeable difference in the size and weight of his legs.
At 2:50 P.M., Dad had slid down in the bed, and I called for a nurse to reposition him. While the nurses were preparing to move him, they noticed that he was bleeding slightly from his fistula in his left arm. The moment that they moved him, it was like a dam broke and the fistula started bleeding—a lot. The nurses called for some assistance, and Angel, one of the hospital's top 25 nurses, entered the room. When Angel called down to the dialysis center for advice on how to stop the bleeding, he was told to keep applying pressure until the bleeding stopped. When Rachel, the dialysis nurse, showed up at 3:05 P.M., she said that his fistula had seeped just slightly yesterday, but she saw no real bleeding. By 3:25 P.M. the bleeding had stopped, enabling the nurses to replace his bandages and change his gown and bed linens. About 30 minutes later, Christina, the dialysis resident, stopped by with Rachel to check the fistula.
At 4:30 P.M., Leslie stopped the Levophed drip, which had been keeping his blood pressure at a safe level. She had already reduced it to the lowest dosage earlier, and Dad had been maintaining a MAP of 79 (80 being perfect). Some 15 minutes later, his MAP had dropped to 68. As we left for the day, I hoped that Dad's blood pressure would stabilize on its own and not dip below a MAP of 68.
As tired as we were when we left at 5:00 P.M., I dreaded leaving him alone. Historically, most of his problems developed when we weren't there to watch over him. I was so anxious when I wasn't with him that I was starting to rely on sleeping pills to sleep.
