History of the NTG
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF THE NTG
The Beginning. The NTG was organized in late 2010 when the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry, along with the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Aging with Developmental Disabilities-Lifespan Health and Function at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Center on Excellence in Aging at the University at Albany, combined their efforts and created the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices. Shortly afterwards in 2011, President Obama signed the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) which led to the development of a coherent and coordinated national strategy on dealing with Alzheimer's disease in the United States.
Over its first year, the NTG held two plenary meetings. The first, in conjunction with the 2011 AAIDD Conference, was held in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 6, 2011. The members of the National Task Group spent the day working to build consensus on the Groups work and products. Each of the working groups presented their reports, which contained draft documents reflecting the group's work. Consensus was achieved on the work done by each group and a general discussion helped to set the tone for the NTG's further work. It was decided to produce a general summative report and the other products noted above. The second meeting was held on November 8, 2011 in Arlington, Virginia, in conjunction with the annual conference of the AUCD. Both meetings included representatives from national organizations and government agencies.
Aims of the NTG. The National Task Group was charged with complementing the NAPA effort and ensuring that the concerns and needs of people with intellectual disability and their families, when affected by dementia, are considered as part of this national strategy. To complement the federal initiative, the NTG was asked to address the myriad requests for more specific information and practice models for providing quality care for people with intellectual disabilities affected by dementia. When it began, the NTG set as its overall goals a number of tasks. One was to update the technological and clinical practices used by agencies in delivering supports and services to adults with ID affected by various dementias. Another was to create a workable screening instrument that would help substantiate suspicions of dementia-related decline, and a third was to educate and expand the knowledge about dementia and intellectual disabilities via trainings, production of materials, and informing key stakeholders. To accomplish its initial goals, the National Task Group organized three working groups: (1) Dementia Screening [Group S]; (2) Health Care Supports [Group H], and (3) Community Supports [Group C].
The Early Work. During its early years, the NTG, via its various working groups produced and issued a number of reports and documents. The NTG's major effort was the production and issuance of a summative report detailing the issues facing adults with intellectual disabilities and dementia, as well as their families and caregivers, and produced a National Action Plan on Dementia and Intellectual Disabilities. The report, "'My Thinker's Not Working': A National Strategy for Enabling Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Affected by Dementia to Remain in Their Community and Receive Quality Supports," is composed a background information as well as formative suggestions for what could happen in the United States to address this growing challenge. In this report the NTG also has identified an administrative screening instrument which could become a standard instrument that may aid agencies with first-instance and period screening, as well as have use as part of the annual wellness visit under the Affordable Care Act. Also, in the National Dementia and Intellectual Disabilities Action Plan, the NTG proposed a series of actions that should be undertaken by national, state, and local organizations, as well as governmental entities at the federal and state level. The American Association for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities was first to post the 'My Thinker' document on its website. Subsequently, it has been posted on the websites of numerous other organizations.
Products. A number of products have been produced by the NTG's specific working groups. The dementia screening workgroup reviewed a number of existing assessment instruments and recommended a dementia-behavior related screening instrument which could be used by providers for looking for cognitive and functional decline in adults with intellectual disability who are aging. The health care supports workgroup produced suggested guidelines for assessment and interventions with medical personnel are involved. The community supports workgroup developed a guideline of recommended models of informal and formal support and care that can offer long term care in community settings, including continued aging in family homes, specialized support in 'dementia capable' group homes, and aging in place supports during early stage care.
Work During the Early Years. Since 2014, the NTG has organized a number of workshops and webinars on the topic of dementia and intellectual disabilities. NTG members are also involved in special presentations at the annual meetings of various national associations and organizations, including the 2013 AAIC in Boston. The NTG offered advice to the CARF organization, a certification body for programs serving people with developmental disabilities. Consequently, the CARF produced a set of standards, "Older Adults and Older Adults/Dementia Care Specific Population Designations" that went into effect in July 2014. The standards were designed to assess individually tailored services that support adaptive aging and compensate for aging-related decline, such as seen in adults with intellectual disability and dementia.
Educational Activities. NTG members, along with collaborating organizations and several formerly named Geriatric Education Centers (GECs), engaged in developing a national curriculum for training personnel who work for agencies and organizations that provide services to adults with intellectual disability affected by dementia. Several levels of training materials were developed, including a core curriculum for personnel working directly with adults with dementia. A national curriculum of 18 modules was developed that can be used in the orientation of personnel who are new hires or who are already employed and work with adults with intellectual disabilities yet unaffected by dementia, or who might be at risk. The new national curriculum was launched on June 16, 2014 at the Joint Conference of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry and the National Task Group, in Princeton, New Jersey, was piloted at several settings in late 2014, and put into effect in 2015 with a series of regional workshops. The curriculum is now in place and serves as the core for a series of two-day workshops made available throughout the United States. The workshop also includes a third day for orientation of regional trainers who are authorized to use the modules for in-house training. The NTG also helped produce specific topical information for use by Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) when HRSA developed a national slide set on dementia for America's workforce. The NTG continues to be involved in a variety of education efforts, including its members speaking at national and international conferences. The NTG has also held webinars involving an international audience.
Conferences. The NTG, in conjunction with the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry, held a series of annual one-day track days on dementia-related issues and intellectual disability. The first conference was held in Princeton, New Jersey, in June 2014; a second in Los Angeles, California, in July 2015; a third in Chicago, Illinois in July 2016; a fourth in Houston, Texas, in June 2017, a fifth in Seattle, Washington, in 2018, and a sixth in Rochester, New York in June 2019. The 2020 conference scheduled to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NTG had planed to hold a virtual meeting in the winter of 2021, but this was cancelled due to the pandemic. See Conferences.
The NTG-EDSD. The NTG released the NTG-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD) which was developed in response to requests by family caregivers and agencies for a tool useful to record observations of changes in function. The NTG-EDSD is used in starting that critical conversation with (and among) clinical personnel as to whether their observations merit more explicit assessment for MCI or dementia or -- alternatively – signal behaviors that may be amenable to intervention and remediation. The NTG-EDSD, an administrative screening tool, is useful as part of the information collected in conjunction with the Affordable Care Act's annual wellness visit and cognitive impairment assessment. The specialized information provided by the NTG-EDSD can aid community practitioners when examining and assessing adults with intellectual disability. The NTG-EDSD is designed to be completed by family caregivers and staff at local agencies and organizations. The NTG-EDSD and its manual are available in numerous language versions on the NTG website. The NTG-EDSD is in use by various organizations, research projects, and a number of ACL ADPI funded projects.
See the NTG-EDSD page for the various versions of the NTG-EDSD and manuals.
Postscript. In the summer of 2020, the NTG migrated from an informal association to a not-for profit organization, chartered under the laws of the State of Maine. From 2012 through to 2020, the NTG was governed by a steering committee and was formally a 'committee' under the by-laws of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry, a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation chartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In mid-2020, the NTG Steering Committee voted to seek recognition as a formal organization and filed an application with the State of Maine's Secretary of State. In July 2020, the NTG received its official incorporation notice from the Secretary and subsequently proceeded to develop the structure for a formal not-for-profit corporation. The last formal meeting of the Steering Committee was held on September 24, 2020. The first meeting of the new formal NTG Board of Directors was held on October 21, 2020. The NTG now has an EIN number, a set of corporate by-laws, a conflict of interest policy, a Board of Directors and Board Officers, tax exempt 501(c)(3) status, and a not-for-profit corporate infrastructure.

It's been a week since Michael A. Fletcher's article appeared on the front page of The Times, and it still resonates — unpleasantly so — with many, like my wife and me ["Financial outlook grim for future retirees in U.S.," Feb. 18]. The reality is that the economic perils described for "future retirees" (baby boomers) are already fully vested in the presently retired elderly. The presently retired elderly worked hard, saved religiously and entered retirement with a sound plan that would extend their Social Security, company pensions and hard-won savings through their final years.
Well, our Social Security is threatened by the vermin in Congress, half our pensions are consumed by much-needed health insurance and prescriptions, and the interest income from savings doesn't exist thanks to greedy Wall Street bankers — 0 percent interest goes nowhere.
My wife and I, though more comfortable than many, may start scouting for an eventual place to live under a highway overpass.
Mr. Fletcher, the scope of your article was woefully inadequate.


First of all, I would like to say, that I am very sensitive and optimistic woman. I am very modest, but you shouldn`t think that I am too shy. I am high-educated, and also inquisitive , I like everything new. I can say, that I am a romantic person and I believe in true love. Family values, such as mutual trust, understanding and honesty are in first place for me. I love kids very much and I always reach an understanding with them. I would like to add that I love nature and I am always in harmony with it. So, as you guess, I like spending time walking all over the park and having picnics!
I have plenty of hobbies. I am creative , and I really like making something with my hands. For example, I like such kind of needlework as: stitching and embroidering, so I have a lot of my own 'works'. Also, I want to add that I am a good painter and I like presenting my own pictures to my friends. Of course, I love reading books and I even have my own little library at home. Oh, I am very communicative person and I have many friends. And I think friends are as important as a family.
I am searching for a man, who wants to find the real love and to spend with her all his life. I hope this man will make me really happy and I am ready to do the same. I am looking for proficient and clever man, because I want to feel reliance and support and to feel myself protected. I want to find a man, who won't betray me and will understand in any situation.


I'm excited to let you know about the exciting giveaway for a Jaclyn Hill x BECCA Champagne Glow Limited Edition Face Palette myself and a group of fellow bloggers are running! I haven't used Jaclyn Hill (a YouTuber & make up artist) or BECCA Cosmetics before but they are highly revered among beauty bloggers and makeup artists.
Besides the face palatte, Chelsie rounded up quite the giveaway goodies. I wish I could apply! The giveaway will run until Wednesday, August 3rd. Good luck!

Dexter Gordon – Our Man In Paris
A TAV Curator's Pick.
Note: An audiophile 45rpm version of this album is also available here.
"Our Man in Paris is a 1963 jazz album by saxophonist Dexter Gordon. The album's title refers to where the recording was made, Gordon (who had moved to Copenhagen a year earlier) teaming up with fellow expatriates Bud Powell and Kenny Clarke, both Parisian residents, and native Parisian Pierre Michelot. Powell, Clarke and Michelot, under the name The Three Bosses, had played together often in Paris since Powell moved there in 1959.
In 1963, the year when Our Man In Paris was recorded, Dexter Gordon turned 40 and moved to Eu-rope for what would be a 12-year stay. Gordon had been the first important bebop tenor-saxophonist and a giant of Jazz since 1945. After some time off the scene in the '50s, he was signed to Blue Note. He returned with full force, playing with power, wit and his trademark huge sound, creating one mas-terpiece after another. On Our Man In Paris, he is clearly inspired by the playing of the innovative be-bop pianist Bud Powell, himself at the peak of his powers, bassist Pierre Michelot and the pioneering bop drummer Kenny Clarke. Gordon plays chorus after chorus of fresh, swinging ideas on such tunes as "Scrapple From The Apple," "Broadway" and "A Night In Tunisia," making these Jazz standards sound as if they were written for him. This blazing bebop date is a constant joy." – Music Matters
"Gordon is at the very top of his game here. His playing is crisp, tight, and full of playful fury. Powell, who at this stage of his life was almost continually plagued by personal problems, never sounded better than he does in this session. His playing is a tad more laid-back here, but is nonetheless full of the brilliant harmonic asides and incendiary single-note runs he is legendary for. The rhythm section is close-knit and stop-on-a-dime accurate." – AllMusic

About Dexter Gordon:
"Dexter Gordon had such a colorful and eventful life (with three separate comebacks) that his story would make a great Hollywood movie. The top tenor saxophonist to emerge during the bop era and possessor of his own distinctive sound, Gordon sometimes was long-winded and quoted excessively from other songs, but he created a large body of superior work and could battle nearly anyone successfully at a jam session. His first important gig was with Lionel Hampton (1940-1943) although, due to Illinois Jacquet also being in the sax section, Gordon did not get any solos. In 1943, he did get to stretch out on a recording session with Nat King Cole. Short stints with Lee Young, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, and Louis Armstrong's big band preceded his move to New York in December 1944 and becoming part of Billy Eckstine's Orchestra, trading off with Gene Ammons on Eckstine's recording of "Blowin' the Blues Away." Gordon recorded with Dizzy Gillespie ("Blue 'N' Boogie") and as a leader for Savoy before returning to Los Angeles in the summer of 1946. He was a major part of the Central Avenue scene, trading off with Wardell Gray and Teddy Edwards in many legendary tenor battles; studio recordings of "The Chase" and "The Duel" helped to document the atmosphere of the period.
After 1952, drug problems resulted in some jail time and periods of inactivity during the '50s (although Gordon did record two albums in 1955). By 1960, he was recovered and soon he was recording a consistently rewarding series of dates for Blue Note. Just when he was regaining his former popularity, in 1962 Gordon moved to Europe where he would stay until 1976. While on the continent, he was in peak form and Gordon's many SteepleChase recordings rank with the finest work of his career. Gordon did return to the U.S. on an occasional basis, recording in 1965, 1969-1970, and 1972, but he was to an extent forgotten in his native land. It was therefore a major surprise that his return in 1976 was treated as a major media event. A great deal of interest was suddenly shown in the living legend with long lines of people waiting at clubs in order to see him. Gordon was signed to Columbia and remained a popular figure until his gradually worsening health made him semi-active by the early '80s. His third comeback occurred when he was picked to star in the motion picture 'Round Midnight. Gordon's acting was quite realistic and touching. He was nominated for an Academy Award, four years before his death after a very full life. Most of Dexter Gordon's recordings for Savoy, Dial, Bethlehem, Dootone, Jazzland, Blue Note, SteepleChase, Black Lion, Prestige, Columbia, Who's Who, Chiaroscuro, and Elektra Musician are currently available. ~ Scott Yanow" – Blue Note Records

Q: MongoDB - multiple queries based on condition I have a query that looks something like this.
employees.aggregate(
[{ "$match":
 {"$and": [
   {"$or": [
     {name : { "$regex": param, "$options":"i"}},
     {title : { "$regex": param, "$options":"i"}},
   ]},
   { tenure : true }
]}
},
  {"$sort":{experience : -1}},
  {"$limit" : 100}
])

I would like to update this query to something like this.

*

*search the employees collection where name = param and tenure = true

*if data exists the  sort the results by experience and limit the results to 100

*if no results found then search the same collection using title and no need to sort the results.

Can someone please help with this?

A: You need to apply a conditional sorting in query. And another important thing is the value of $regex must have in string(" "). You can't pass like
$regex: User

you need to pass it in string.
db.hotspot.aggregate(
[{
        "$match": {

The Lost Valley of Iskander (El Borak)
Copyright 1974, by Glenn Lord
The Daughter of Erlik Khan
The Lost Valley of Iskander
Hawk of the Hills
(out of 5)
This was one of two Berkley collections of Robert E. Howard's El Borak stories, and the first time the story "The Lost Valley of Iskander" appeared in print. Five of his El Borak stories were sold during his lifetime, although two only came out after his death. According to the introduction to this collection, among Howard's papers was found another El Borak story, plus an unfinished one -- the completed one, "Swords of the Hills", appearing in this volume as "The Lost Valley of Iskander". So what was the unfinished one? I might have thought it was "Three-Bladed Doom", except L. Sprague de Camp gives a complete history for that story in an essay found in The Sword of Conan. He indicates that "Three-Bladed Doom" was a complete, but unpublished manuscript. I don't know how to reconcile this. If you know anything about it, e-mail me.
Next to the Conan stories, the El Borak stories are my favorites. The stories themselves are the most consistently sure-footed of anything Robert E. Howard wrote -- including Conan. I'm not sure why that is. Everyone agrees that REH was a big fan of Talbot Mundy, who wrote similar adventures set in the east, and that he modeled El Borak after those. With Conan or Kull or Solomon Kane, REH basically had to develop things on his own. Maybe Mundy gave him a template to follow? Whatever the reason, the stories are remarkably consistent with a clean, fast prose style, lots of machinations, and a hero who, if not quite as swashbuckling as Conan, at least isn't bogged down by the endless brooding which characterized so many of Robert E. Howard's stories. These are what pulp was meant to be.
"The Daughter of Erlik Khan" has El Borak (aka Francis Xavier Gordon) fighting to rescue Yasmeena, one time rich brat, now pretend "goddess" to the people of the all-but-forbidden city of Yolgan. A former Rajah husband has offered a reward to any man who will bring her home so she can be beaten to death with a slipper (!), and two evil Englishmen, Ormond and Pembroke, have decided to take him up on it.
One weakness with the El Borak stories is a dearth of women, so this story ranks a little higher in my estimation than some. Yasmeena herself is another one of those interesting strong-but-vulnerable female characters which REH did so well. For a woman with a death-sentence hanging over her head, she shows remarkable pluck. Then too, any woman who, bored with life, would chuck everything and run off to become a goddess...wow!
One nice thing about the El Borak stories is their portayal of eastern characters. Oh, I know the characters are still stereotypes, but, given how appallingly racist Howard could be toward blacks, I have to take victories where I can find them. Though Howard describes the Arabs as primordial and wolf-like, in this case he really does mean it as a compliment of sorts, since we are repeatedly told that El Borak himself, having lived so long amongst them, has the same characteristics. Then too, El Borak treats his eastern comrades as friends, rather than as hired help. The characters themselves are well-drawn, and heroic in their own wolfish ways.
"The Lost Valley of Iskander" has El Borak racing to deliver papers detailing plans to "send howling hordes of fanatics across the Indian border", while pursued by Gustav Hunyadi, the author of those plans. El Borak happens upon a lost city, left over from the invasion of Alexander the Great, and gets on the wrong side of the city's king, Ptolemy.
For some reason, Robert E. Howard never sold this story. It isn't my favorite, but it's still a good read. On the other hand, for all that it is about a lost city, the city itself doesn't seem all that strange or interesting...or lost. It basically seems like any other city in an El Borak story. Darrell C. Richardson, in the introduction, calls this "one of the best and most fantastic" of the El Borak yarns, but it really isn't that fantastic. Good as it is, the (new) title does offer somewhat more than the story delivers.
"Hawk of the Hills" is my favorite El Borak story. Unlike the other stories in which El Borak plays the part of Lawrence of Arabia, here he has crossed over to the other side of the law. He is fighting a bitter feud with Afdal Khan, chief of the Khoruk Orakzai, who villainously massacred several of El Borak's eastern friends. A very English diplomat, Willoughby, has been sent to talk some sense into El Borak, and the story is told from Willoughby's point-of-view.
The characterization here is quite amazing, particularly given that we see into no one's head but Willoughby's. There is a wonderful sense of comradeship between El Borak and his men, especially in one scene where one man berates the others for abandoning El Borak even though El Borak had ordered them to do so. But Willoughby is the most fascinatingly drawn. The story is basically a clash of philosophies -- Willoughby's diplomacy versus El Borak's more hands-on approach. Of course, it comes as no surprise that REH ultimately sides with El Borak and his bloody blade, but Willoughby is still presented with considerable dignity -- a man whose ideals might be fine, just not in this time and place.
Three other El Borak stories were printed in Son of the White Wolf by Berkley Books and later Ace, and Three-Bladed Doom appeared under its own cover by Ace.

Arsenal see £55m bid rejected for top January target but Edu will 'return with a new bid'
Arsenal target Mykhaylo Mudryk smiles Credit: Alamy
Arsenal will go back in for Mykhaylo Mudryk after the Gunners saw their opening bid rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk, according to reports.
The Ukraine international has been linked with Arsenal for months now with the Gunners appearing to make him their priority target for the January transfer window.
Mudryk has caught the eye in the Champions League this season with three goals and two assists in six matches, adding to his five goals in ten Ukrainian Premier League fixtures.
There have been strong rumours that Arsenal will look to strengthen in midfield and in wide attacking areas with the Gunners seeing Mudryk as the perfect attacking addition.
When asked earlier this week if he would find it hard to turn down a move to Arsenal this winter, Mudryk replied: "Yes, from my side I can't say no."
And now the Evening Standard claim that Arsenal have had their 'opening offer' of £55m 'rejected' by Shakhtar Donetsk 'but the Gunners are set to return with a new bid'.
Of the £55m offered, 'part of that amount was due to be paid in add-ons' and technical director Edu 'remain in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk and are expected to return with a fresh offer for Mudryk'.
Shakhtar have already said that they want close to £85m for the winger but Arsenal are keen not to go that high and want to structure the deal in a way that can persuade the Ukrainians to take a lower price.
Last week, Shakhtar Donetsk sporting director Carlo Nicolini confirmed the Gunners' interest in Mudryk ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Nicolini said: "Today, Mudryk has been told, like all other players, to present himself for the training in Antalya on the 9th of January. There is interest from Arsenal, I cannot deny it."
Speaking in November, Shakhtar director of football Dario Srna explained why the club valued Mudryk at such a high price.
He said: "If somebody wants to buy Mudryk, they must pay huge, huge, huge money. Otherwise the president of the club (Rinat Akhmetov) will not sell him. All the clubs must respect the President, respect Shakhtar and in the end they must respect Mykhaylo Mudryk, who is one of the best players I saw. The price is so big."
Srna added: "The market is deciding the price — not me. Antony, [Jack] Grealish, they are players of more than €100m and for me, Mudryk does not have less quality than them.
"This is the last two transfers in the past year, in more or less the same positions. Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. We want just respect. The market is deciding the price, not me, it shows which kind of players cost this kind of money."

Considering his international reputation as a fine-art printmaker and cofounder of Bloomington's Echo Press, it may be a surprise to learn that Rudy Pozzatti might have become a doctor had it not been for a chance encounter when he was 17.
Pozzatti, 86, grew up in Telluride, Colorado, an area then known not for ski resorts but the gritty culture of gold and silver mines. His mother had come to Colorado by herself from her Italian hometown of Trento at the tender age of 13, invited by her uncle to help run a boarding house for miners. Several years later she married a miner who was also, coincidentally, from Trento.
After serving as an artilleryman during World War II, Pozzatti married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy, and completed an M.F.A. He taught printmaking at the University of Nebraska, and in 1952 a Fulbright Fellowship enabled him to take Dorothy and their first child to Italy. "I've never been the same since," he says of the impression made on him by the abundance of centuries-old art and architecture. Pozzatti sold one of his paintings to writer and congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, then-American ambassador to Italy, who later presented the piece as a wedding gift to her private secretary, Letitia Baldrige (etiquette expert and later First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's social secretary).
In 1956, Pozzatti was invited to apply for a position teaching printmaking at IU's Department of Fine Arts. Bloomington has been his home base ever since.
In addition to teaching, exhibiting his work around the U.S., and working overseas—in the early '60s he traveled to the Soviet Union as an arts ambassador for the U.S. Department of State and later studied woodblock cutting in Japan—Pozzatti founded Echo Press with fellow printmaker David Keister in 1979. Almost immediately, the press became a place where artists had their work printed, collaborated on projects, and presented guest lectures. The press closed in 1995, four years after Pozzatti retired from IU.


The magic of one day, one month, one year. The days that count.
January 6 of 2015 is the day you were born. I spent all afternoon setting balloons in the ceiling to look like yellow butterflies because today is your birthday, and in my books, in my time, this is a line that counts. On January 6 it all comes back: you in my chest, you in the world, your dark deep eyes and stretched body floating towards me. My balloons look quite abstract and I was not planning on telling anyone of my nerdy literary analogy- but It is all suddenly obvious and Oh so cool! Because it is a little secret. The freezing white streets outside have no clue that there is one girl, just one girl that has every day the sun in her house (you). Every day. You are a tropical presence, and even while you sleep, now, all that happiness is still buzzing close to me. You were born today and this day will forever be magical and not even close to crazy. It is just what it is.
Because the day you were born was narrated by a magical writer in my dreams and then there, you were flying to me with your own yellow butterflies. You were born a Caribbean boy in Denmark, your presence and your Caribbean energy. It was legendary, all those people in the room witnessing the brightest sun burst into the blue light of a Danish-January-cold winter day. Your heart was beating fast and I could see a line in a screen that I followed obsessively, red (danger), green, red, green. That line was nothing compared to the look of your fast paced firecracker heart. Three gifts and one star. I can't believe 2 years ago that happened. You happened and your life keeps happening every day, a beautiful thing. You grow. Your heart grows. The lion you are awakens and roars, smile-roars, kiss-roars, scream-roars, love-roars, all so very intense. And I love you just as intensely. These are the days, the days we count, the days we took those photos, the memories we keep in our heart, when we danced to rocking Red Hot Chilli Peppers, your hands up, your crazy moves, the jump. I see you amplify yourself on every power you discover, speaking your mind away in your own special language, wondering on the details on the leaves, on the dust in the frame of sunlight, saying Wow.
And I'm grateful for the time I spent with you this year, the books we read a thousand times, counting to three with your finger and running around the blue chair, watching you come up with unexpected games with a ball, then follow your very specific and clear instructions with your serious face. Your proud eyes make me infinitely proud. Your energy, convincing me of going out when I was not planning to, wearing my shoes quickly with one hand while you pull me with the other- showing me something that is amazing and yes! That is Amazing, I say. It is all amazing hands down. I would never doubt that genuine wonder. Never doubt the need for random adventures and rabbit holes, a Christmas choir that you decide to join, a metallic ramp that proves musical when you step and jump, the flashing lights of trucks and all other construction trucks, excavators, dump trucks, loaders and cranes (I know the difference!). You where 1 once and this happy sadness is a thing I live with now, every time we measure your height next to the closet door, every time you run towards me when I pick you up at the day care, running faster, looking brighter.
I don't want to forget you were once one, your little hand in my hand, walking next to me back from Daycare, waving "hi" to strangers, making friends, pointing out the moon, the first time you saw it, big, round. Giving me kisses, touching my face just before you sleep, following the shape of my eyes with your hand, that sweet crazy love that you are. Your steps, your words, your experiments, pushing the chair to wash the dishes in the kitchen sink, pushing a chair to stand next to me everywhere I go and commenting everything on your own special language. It was a privilege. I loved you with all my heart all of those days. You, and your firecracker beauty. I love you.
This is the Caribbean, told by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

When the first mechanized armors were shown to the public, some of the supra humans saw the potential that it had if they used them, so after some wild guesses and several prototype modifications, the military managed to make an armor specifically for the supra humans.
The SH-MkVI armor, is specifically designed for them, having several exhaust zones where the power of the user can be channeled trough- although some precautions have to be taken. The new users of this armor have to adapt to the new ways of combat this armor provides, or the armor might work agains themselves.


My sister decided to have a particularly over-the-top special birthday party for her daughter A. – Age 5, at a local shop catering to such glamorous events.
The girls were ushered into two rooms filled with racks and racks of every conceivable sparkly gown, hundreds of tiny jewel-crusted shoes, tiaras, bows, jewelry and glitter. The girls all had their nails done, and makeup on their lips and eyes.
10 tiny tots took fizzy-pink high tea filled with marshmallows, frosted cakes and cookies, and were instructed to act like ladies as they dined.
I was never the girly-girl type as a child: whether it was because I grew up in a boy-dominated neighborhood, with the exception of maybe playing Barbies my childhood was spent climbing trees and playing in forts. This fascination with princesses and crowns is a shock to my system.
While the affair was the type that made my inner anti-pink sensibilities want to retch lace-edged doilies, the birthday girl and her little friends all seemed to have a blast. S. – Age 3.5 was in Diva Heaven.
In the end, I suppose, that is really all that matters: all those smiling little faces. My sister did an awesome job of putting it together, and my daughter lucky to get to experience it!
Sometimes, as a parent, I think my expectations are a little unrealistic – and further, if they weren't, I'd never leave the house with my children.
In my head, I had a picture of my toddler, mouth agape with joy at her first trip to an aquarium. I had visions of blissful delight as she watched the dolphin show, and imagined the sounds of her chuckles at the antics of penguins.
I shut out the potential for meltdown, tantrums and general disinterest. I opted not to consider her finding the crack on the floor more interesting than the dolphins, or that her piercing scream would echo so stunningly right off the plastic arctic display exhibit from which we had to forcibly extricate her.
But she did really dig the belugas. I think that saved it for me. Because, much like childbirth, at the end of the day, it is focusing on the positives that counts, and keeps us mostly sane.


It took the Zatyshanska AH in the Odesa Oblast a year and a half to implement changes which can't remain unnoticed. The Odesa Local Government Development Centre, established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme and MinRegion, tells about the priorities of the local councils after the amalgamation of the Zatyshok settlement and Torosove village councils.
One of the priorities of the new hromada refers to repair and modern equipment in schools.
"The school in the Zatyshanska hromada had been working without any repair for about 50 years. A while ago, we completely refurbished the roof for UAH 900 thousand. We also refurbished the ground floor. Our next step is to fix the next floors of the school. We also purchase equipment for physics, chemistry and other classes. Now we have modern classes where children feel interested and comfortable. I am convinced that schools in rural areas must be as good as in the city. For instance, we have six interactive boards. I think you can't find that many of them in some big city school," tells mayor of the settlement Hennadii Topolnytsky.


When Judge Kenneth Karas order Mark Papermaster to "immediately cease his employment with Apple," he also order IBM to post a bond of $3 million by November 14, 2008. The court reported on Thursday that IBM had met that deadline and posted the bond one week ago.
The $3 million bond was put in place to pay Papermaster should the court decide IBM's case is without merit and the injunction against Papermaster shouldn't have been granted. Final damages will be decided by the court, but they won't exceed the bond amount.
Apple announced on November 4 that Papermaster would join the company as senior vice president of Devices Hardware Engineering. However, IBM says that Papermaster has knowledge of "significant and highly confidential IBM trade secrets" that would "irreparably harm" the company if he is allowed to work for Apple.
The court issued an injunction forbidding him from working for Apple until the case could be settled, but Papermaster went on the offensive last week and countersued IBM.
Papermaster contends that IBM's noncompetition agreement precludes him from working for any Business Enterprise or any major competitor of IBM. The lawsuit argues that since IBM business enterprise services and Apple's business is the design, manufacturing and marketing of consumer electronic products, the two are not major competitors.
He also said that when he accepted the job at Apple, he signed an Intellectual Property Agreement in which he agreed not to disclose or bring onto Apple property any "confidential, or proprietary, or secret information" of IBM.

By Pierre Bourdieu (This text was extracted from Sur l'etat. Cours au collège de France 1989-1992, Raisons d Agir – Le Seuil, Paris, that will appear on the 5th of January).
What is the process by which a minority opinion becomes the public opinion? That is what explains the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in this course on the State passed in 1990 at the Collège de France.
An official man is a ventriloquist who speaks in the name of the State: it takes an official position –you would have to describe the scene of the officer–, speaking for and on behalf of the group to which it is addressed, speaks for and in the name of all, speak in both representative of the universal.
Here we come to the modern notion of public opinion. What is this public opinion that invoked the creators of the law of modern societies, societies in which the Right exists? Tacitly, it is the opinion of the majority or of those who have, those who are worthy of having an opinion. I think that the definition of the patent in a society that calls itself democratic, that is to say where the official opinion is the opinion of all, it hides a definition latent, namely, that the public opinion is the opinion of those who are worthy of having an opinion. There is a kind of definition censitaria of public opinion as the view illustrated, as an opinion worthy of the name.
The logic of official commissions is to create a group so constituted that exhibits all the external signs, socially recognized and recognizable, the ability to express the opinion worthy of being expressed, and in the ways established. One of the criteria of tacit more important to select the members of the commission, in particular its president, is the intuition that has the people in charge of composing the commission that the person in question knows the unspoken rules of the universe, bureaucratic and recognized: in other words, someone that knows how to play the game commission in a legitimate way that goes beyond the rules of the game, which legitimizes the game; never are they more in the game than when going beyond the game. In any game there are rules and fair-play. To purpose of man kabil (1), or of the intellectual world, I had used the formula: excellence, in most societies, it is the art of playing with the rule of the game, making that game with the rule of the game a supreme tribute to the game. The transgressor controlled is opposed completely to the heretical.
The dominant group coopta members from minimum rates of behavior, which are the art of respecting the rule of the game up in the transgressions-regulated the rule of the game: the decorum, composure. It is the famous sentence from Chamfort: "The Grand Vicar may smile on a topic against Religion, the Bishop, laughing heartily, Cardinal to add to what he has to say" (2). The more you climb in the hierarchy of excellencies, the more we can play with the rule of the game, but as an ex-officio, from a position which does not admit of any doubt. The humor anticlerical of the cardinal is supremely clerical.
The public opinion is always a kind of double reality. Is what can not be invoke when you want to legislate on lands that are not constituted. When you say "There is a legal vacuum" (extraordinary expression), for the purpose of euthanasia or the test tube babies, it convenes people who work applying all his authority. Dominique Memmi (3) describes an ethics committee [on the artificial procreation], composed by people of mixed –psychologists, sociologists, women, feminists, archbishops, rabbis, scholars, etc– whose aim is to transform a sum of idiolectos (4) ethical in a discourse universal that it fills a legal vacuum, that is to say that input a formal solution to a difficult problem that has disturbed the society –legalize surrogacy, for example. If you work in that kind of situation, must be invoked public opinion. In this context, it is very clear the role given to the surveys. To say "the polls are on our side", is the equivalent of saying "God is on our side", in another context.
But the theme of the surveys is cumbersome, because sometimes the view illustrated is against the death penalty, while the polls are rather in favour. What to do? A commission is formed. The commission is a public opinion enlightened that will establish the opinion illustrated as an opinion legitimate in the name of public opinion –that, on the other hand, says otherwise or thinks nothing (which usually happens in regard to many issues)–. One of the properties of the surveys consists in the want to ask the people issues that she is not asked, to suggest answers to problems that she has not been raised; therefore, to impose answers. It is not a question of bias in the construction of the samples, is the fact impose on all the world questions that will be asked, to the view illustrated, and, for this reason, produce answers to problems that arise, only some of you; therefore give answers that are illustrated, since they have been produced by the question: have been created for the people questions that did not exist to her when it really mattered, it was the issue itself.
"It's that feeling on any topic that is grown, produced by the people more informed, more intelligent and more moral community. This opinion extends gradually and is adopted by all people with any education and sense that it is in a civilized State". The truth of the dominant, becomes the all.
In the 1880s, in the National Assembly was said openly what sociology had to rediscover, that is to say, the school system had to remove the children from the most disadvantaged classes. At the beginning the question arose, but was then totally suppressed because, without being asked, the school system began to do what was expected of him. Then, there was no need to talk about the topic. The interest return on the genesis is very important, because in the beginning there are discussions where you say with all the letters things, then, appear as thought-provoking revelations of the sociologists.
The player of what the official knows how to produce –in the etymological sense of the term: producere, which means "to move forward"–, teatralizándolo, something that does not exist (in the sense of the sensible, visible), and in the name of what he speaks of. You must produce that in the name of what that you have the right to produce. No you can not theatricalize, nor shape, nor do miracles. For a creator verbal, the miracle is the most common miracle-verbal, the successful rhetorician; it must produce the staging of what is permitted their say, to put it another way, of the authority in the name of which is authorized to speak.
Percy Schramm showed how the coronation ceremonies were the transfer, in the political order, religious ceremonies (6). If the ceremonial and religious can be transferred so easily to the ceremonies policy by the ceremony of the coronation, because in both cases, the idea is to make you believe that there is a foundation of the discourse that only appears as self-founded, legitimate, universal, because there is dramatization –in the sense of evocation magic, witchcraft– the united group and that you agree to accept the discourse that binds it. From there the ceremonial law. The british historian E. P. Thompson emphasized the role of the dramatization legal in the EIGHTEENTH century English –wigs, etc–, that can not be understood in its totality if it is not considered that it is not a simple artifact, in the sense of Pascal, which would be added: it is constitutive of the legal act (7). To impart justice in a suit conventional is risky: you run the risk of losing the pomp of the speech. Always talk of reform of the legal language without never do it, because it is the last of the garments: the bare kings because they are not charismatic.

The whole world lusts after beauty, and many people think it to be a good thing.
But beauty is like everything else in this world – deceptive. Although it allures, that beauty with time turns to ugliness. Pretty face ages and is deformed with the passing of time. Eventually the person dies, the body putrefies, and where's the beauty then?
Staying in the forest Buddhist monastery is not only pleasant due to beautiful surroundings, but also because I get to listen to the lectures of genuine monks as well as read interesting books on Buddhism.
This helps me to understand the Buddhist doctrine, and based on my experience, what I read and heard so far is correct. I'm coming to the conclusion that Nirvana (enlightenment) through this path might indeed be achievable.

Q: Strange behaviour for MongoDB covered query If I have the following collection
{ "_id" : "a" }
{ "_id" : "b" }
{ "_id" : "c" }

Normal query
If I now run the following query
db.test.find({_id: "a"}, {_id: 1}).explain("executionStats")

It returns
"executionStats" : {
    "totalKeysExamined" : 1,
    "totalDocsExamined" : 1
}

Query with hint
Now for the strange part. If I run the following query
db.test.find({_id: "a"}, {_id: 1}).hint({_id: 1}).explain("executionStats")

It returns
"executionStats" : {
    "totalKeysExamined" : 1,
    "totalDocsExamined" : 0
}

Question
Why is the normal query examining a document, even if I only want the _id?
Server version: v3.2.1

A: What you are doing is that you are generally using the _id index instead of going through the collection. You get to see the indexes using
collection.getIndexes()

In that sense the mongo server (query optimizer) used the index specified (_id) and did not have to go through the collection
Hop that helps

SAF marks 70th anniversary SAF – Southern Aluminum Finishing Co, Inc.
Atlanta, GA – July 21, 2016 – SAF (Southern Aluminum Finishing Co.), headquartered in Atlanta, GA, will mark its 70th anniversary this fall. At its founding in 1946, SAF was one of only two anodizing lines in the country. Founder Marvin McClatchey was a chemical engineer and pioneer in anodizing for architectural applications. Still in the family, SAF is currently led by second generation brothers and Co-CEOs, Penn McClatchey and Jim McClatchey.
Early customers included commercial glazing contractors working to meet pressing demands for store front and curtain wall projects in the post WWII building boom. Since then SAF's customer base has expanded internationally to include Construction Specifiers, Design-Build Contractors, Commercial Construction Subcontractors, Alternative Energy Product Manufacturers, Product Engineers, Automotive Suppliers along with Fabricators and Manufacturers in many other industries. A common thread is evident in a review of company milestones: a business acumen always directed toward providing products with more customer value and better quality that ship on time.
In 1950 during the Korean war and an aluminum shortage, Alcoa invited SAF to accumulate scrap aluminum in return for a valuable flat sheet allocation. Soon after, SAF added aluminum sheet & extrusion distribution to its anodizing finishing services.
SAF follows a growth plan to invest in resources whenever and wherever a strategic customer benefit can be identified to reduce logistical costs, time, and potential for shipping damage. In 1956 SAF added metal fabricating services with the purchase of an aluminum awning manufacturer driven to the brink by air conditioning. This resulted in single source ordering for aluminum anodizing, aluminum extrusions & sheet, and fabricating — wins for both customers and SAF.
In 1968 after paint technology proved viable for architectural aluminum SAF began applying PVDF (aka Kynar® – a registered trademark of Arkema Inc ) paint coatings. Expanding its paint finishing services ten (10) years later in 1978, SAF commissioned a 20,000 sq ft, state of the art Fluoropolymer aluminum paint line. At this time SAF was among the first architectural fabricators in the US with an in-house aluminum paint line, offering customers another reliable aluminum finishing option with extensive color choices.
In 1990 SAF entered the engineered architectural building products market by forming SAF Perimeter Systems Div. to manufacture innovative, custom commercial metal roof edge products, gutter & cornice systems. By 2011 the division had expanded its commercial Designer Series product offerings to include interchangeable extruded Cornice Mouldings, Gutters, Arch & Radius building trim systems in addition to entryway Pediment, Entablature and Column systems.
In 1994 SAF secured a resource for volume anodized aluminum sheet production by purchasing an aluminum Coil Processing plant. SAF's coil-anodizing line gives their sheet customers substantial cost-savings. The plant also enables SAF to offer toll coating and related aluminum coil processing services. SAF is currently one of a handful continuous aluminum coil anodizers in North America.
Growing sales led SAF to acquire a 78,000 sq ft metal fabrication facility in 2003, expanding capacity for both SAF Metal Fabrication and SAF Perimeter Systems Divisions. To speed customer service in 2004 SAF inaugurated unique programs of "1 Day out" and "3 Day Out" turnaround times for qualified aluminum finishing and popular fabrication services. An industry first, customers were quick to respond with orders. In pre-recession 2008 SAF reported sales of $32MM, and they reached $38MM in 2016.
The pace of SAF innovation quickened with the introduction of architectural building column covers (2004) and panel (2007) systems, BIM CAD services (2009), Perimeter Systems engineered product innovations and enhancements. The company's most remarkable physical expansion began after the opening of their SAF-West branch in Redding, CA in 2007. In 2013 SAF commissioned an anodizing line in Redding, transforming SAF-West to become a full mirror of SAF Georgia operations. This provides customers nation-wide with strategic benefits in price and delivery for all SAF services, including aluminum finishing, aluminum distribution, and fabrication projects. In 2015 SAF employment nation-wide reached 300.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, SAF is a nation-wide aluminum extrusions and sheet distributor, metal fabricator, and aluminum finisher specializing in Kynar painting and architectural anodizing. SAF also distributes column covers, architectural panels, and commercial roofing trim to architectural specifiers, glazing contractors, and other industries. The SAF West serves Western US, Canada, and Pacific Rim markets.

War Lord is the  13th and last novel in the Saxon Stories series by Bernard Cornwell. It was published on 15 October 2020 in the UK.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg plays a crucial role in the battle that will decide if Alfred the Great's dream of England comes to pass or not.

Plot summary
The aged Uhtred wants nothing more than to end his days in peace in his beloved Bebbanburg and pass it on to his second son, also named Uhtred. However, inexorable fate has other ideas.

Many years before, Uhtred had taught the young Æthelstan, a grandson of King Alfred the Great, how to be a king and, by winning a crucial battle, placed him on the throne of Wessex. Æthelstan had given Uhtred his oath to never fight him or invade his native Northumbria while Uhtred lived.

For many years, Æthelstan kept his word, but having gained control of the Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and East Anglia, the only thing standing in the way of fulfilling Alfred the Great's dream of uniting all of the Ænglisc-speaking peoples under one monarch is a Northumbria ruled by a weak king named Guthfrith. Furthermore, Æthelstan's Christian advisors have told him that an oath to a pagan is not binding.

Finally, he breaks his promise and invades Northumbria. He orders Uhtred to capture the fleeing Guthfrith and turn him over, which Uhtred does. (Guthrith is allowed to keep his throne, but Æthelstan places a strong garrison in Eoferwic, Guthfrith's capital, to keep him in line.) Constantine, king of Alba, Northumbria's northern neighbour, grows concerned and starts forging an alliance against Æthelstan. He sends an envoy to Uhtred, trying to gain his support, but Uhtred does not want to be dragged in on either side.

When Uhtred neglects to inform Æthelstan of the meeting, Æthelstan distrusts his old friend and mentor, and sets into motion a plan to seize Bebbanburg. He summons Uhtred and others to a gathering, then sends Aeldred, one of his advisors, and 200 men to Bebbanburg with a letter with a forgery of Uhtred's seal. Uhtred's estranged eldest son, Bishop Oswald, warns him, and Uhtred is able to race home before Aeldred arrives. Remaining hidden, he watches as Aeldred tries to bring his men into the fortress using the forgery, then sends Aeldred away.

Later, he spreads rumours that he has found a treasure trove of gold. As he had hoped, this lures both Guthfrith and Aeldred into his trap. He captures and kills them, then blames their deaths on a Scottish raiding party. Æthelstan is not fooled. He brings an army to (seemingly) besiege Bebbanburg. However, this is just a ploy to deceive Constantine. Æthelstan, after reaching Bebbanburg, keeps marching his men further north, into Alba. However, though he advances all the way to the northern end of Britain, Constantine avoids meeting him in battle, and Æthelstan eventually has to return home.

There is peace for three years. Then Anlaf, the most powerful Norse leader in Ireland, joins Constantine, Owain of Strath Clota, and others in invading Cumbria. There they challenge Æthelstan to a battle at a site they have chosen. Uhtred examines the spot carefully and realises that, while it favours the invaders, it also makes their battle plan obvious, and Uhtred believes Æthelstan can win if he follows Uhtred's advice. Æthelstan does, and though outnumbered, crushes his enemies after a hard-fought battle.

Just before the battle, Æthelstan orders Uhtred to marry a rich, young widow so that he will have a strong, loyal man to guard his northern border. While Uhtred is content to be Lord of Bebbanburg, with his new wealth and lands extending from coast to coast, others start calling him the Lord of the North.

"Brigham, Charles, architect, was born in Watertown, Mass., June 21, 1841. He was educated in the public school of his native town, graduating from the high school in 1858. The same year, he entered, as student, the office of Calvin Ryder, architect, of Boston. In 1860-61 he was draughtsman in the office of Gridley J.F. Bryant. In 1862 he enlisted and served nine months in the field as second sergeant in Company K, Fifth Massachusetts Volunteers. On his return he renewed the study and practice of architecture under Mr. Bryant and in the office of John H. Sturgis, with whom he entered into partnership in 1866--a relation which continued until 1886, a short time previous to the death of Mr. Sturgis. In 1888 he became associated with John C. Spofford, which partnership terminated in February, 1892. Among the principal building designed during his association with Mr. Sturgis are the Bureau of Charities on Chardon Street, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Young Men's Christian Association Building, the Church of the Advent, and the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Building on State Street. In 1890 and 1891, while associated with Mr. Spofford, the extension of the Maine State Capitol and other important works were built; and among the recent buildings designed by him and now in progress are the Massachusetts State House extension, begun in 1890, the Public Library and Town Hall at Fairhaven, Mass., and the Inebriates' Hospital at Foxborough. He always resided in Watertown, where he has held various public offices, having served several years on the school committee, and four years, 1884-87, as chairman of the board of selectman; has been a member of the trustees of the Public Library since 1888, of which he has been the chairman for the last three; has been president of the Coöperative Bank since its establishment; and is a director of the Union Market National Bank. He was master of the Pequossette Lodge of Free Masons two years."

Home Columns Athlete of the Week MARATHON ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: TJ HAWKINS
MARATHON ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: TJ HAWKINS
By Clare Merryman
Name: Timothy Hawkins
Grade: senior
Sport: Football, Track & Field
Timothy Hawkins, better known as TJ, is a senior at MHS and is the defensive captain on the football field. This leaves him with a lot of responsibility as he is in charge of keeping 10 other players in order.
This past Friday, Oct. 22, was a big night for Hawkins, one he says was the best he's ever had. On his senior night, Hawkins scored one of the team's two touchdowns. Hawkins recalled the situation. "I ran up on a player from the opposing team, plowed right into the kid who was fumbling the ball, recovered it, and dove into the end zone." Because linemen rarely score, it makes the memory that much more important.
After nine years of playing on the Marathon football teams, Hawkins played his last game on Oct. 27. "My time has come; it's time to move on to the next chapter of my life," he said.
Since the age of 8, Hawkins has held his shoulders up high and played to the best of his ability. He attributes his accomplishments to his attitude, saying, "Attitude is everything. If you have the mentality of playing like you're the best, then you will play like the best."
Hawkins will carry this same energy with him into next fall. As of now, he hopes to continue his education at the Universal Technical Institute, where he looks forward to training to become a diesel tech.
