Officer David Hofer "A Servant's Servant" Remembered!
Published by admin on September 30, 2019
Life held endless possibilities for Euless Police Officer David Hofer whose future was suddenly taken from his family, and the public he served so well on the very first day
of March just three years ago at half past two in the afternoon.
Officer Hofer, who was raised and educated in New York City, had been a member of the Euless police department for two years.
As young boy he was taught by his parents to view people he encountered through the prism of
humanity although he often witnessed sadness and turmoil in the profession he had chosen.
An extremely pleasant and engaging human-being, Officer Hofer and his patrol partner one night discovered an elderly couple on the streets of Euless that had lost their way, and whose car had failed them.
Officer Hofer, whose compassion extended beyond those he knew, asked his partner to remain with the couple while he searched for a bank machine to withdraw personal funds, enough for a hotel stay so that the couple would not have to spend the night in their car, or in a shelter.
On the day that his fiancée, Marta, came to Euless with members of her family and friends
from New York, Officer Hofer, who was not working that day, borrowed a police car from the
department, Chief Brown said.
"He could have become anything that he wanted to be,"
said Euless Police Chief Mike Brown, speaking of the Officer Hofer who had been a member of the New York Police Department for five years before relocating to Texas to begin a new life that was to include marrying the woman he loved, and building a family with her.
He was one of the most intelligent people I have ever met in law enforcement. We found him exceptional.
"David knew the route that the van carrying Marta and the others would take from the airport," Chief Brown said.
"Once the van reached the middle of Euless, he turned on his car's siren and lights and pulled the van over."
Officer Hofer approached the vehicle, Marta emerged and he got down on one knee to propose that they spend the rest of their time together. It was the happiest day of their young lives.
Nearly 6,000 people filled Pennington Field in Bedford, Texas for a final tribute to Officer Hofer. Dignitaries, citizens and police officers from across the country were present to bid farewell to someone who represented the best of policing, and the best of
humankind. |AR

Q: Why device drivers are not stored in the device itself? In order to use a hardware, the specific driver for that particular hardware for the particular OS the device will be interacting with must be installed on the computer.
My question is, why aren't drivers for a particular device stored on the device itself? (or are they?)
For example, lets say that I have plugged in a keyboard to my computer. Is it possible for drivers for particular versions of Windows, Linux and OS X stored on the device itself? So that when plugged in the first time, the device will interact with the OS and install the appropriate driver?
Does it have to do with the fact that there are many OSes and many versions of these OSes and hence, the device would need to store a very high amount of the same purpose code for different platforms?
Edit: By the way, my rationale behind this question is, what if we are setting up a computer without internet access. I guess most OSes now have common drivers packed with them but if our device needs a driver not already in the OS, then we might have a problem right?

A:
My question is, why aren't drivers for a particular device stored on
  the device itself?

This would mean the device would need to have storage and the operating system would have to access it.  There are security concerns with storage devices in some cases.  It overall is a bad solution to a problem that can be solved by simply downloading the driver itself.  A USB device can indicate to the OS it is ANY TYPE OF DEVICE, which is the reason, there are security policies to only allow certain types of USB devices and to block anything device that isn't recognized.

For example, lets say that I have plugged in a keyboard to my
  computer. Is it possible for drivers for particular versions of
  Windows, Linux and OS X stored on the device itself?

In this specific example the generic keyboard I/O driver would work.

So that when plugged in the first time, the device will interact with
  the OS and install the appropriate driver?

This already happens to some degree.  You would have to still install the driver even if it was stored on the device itself.

Does it have to do with the fact that there are many OSes and many
  versions of these OSes and hence, the device would need to store a
  very high amount of the same purpose code for different platforms?

A device either has drivers for a particular OS that exist or those drivers don't exist.  If they are written for the OS they can are easily found and installed.  Since device drivers are also updated often, the memory containing the driver, would almost never contain the current version anyways.  Which is exactly what happens with the driver disks.  It is extremely rare to have a computer that is not connected to the internet unless its by choice.  If its by choice there often is a device, that can be used, to transfer data to it.

I guess most OSes now have common drivers packed with them but if our
  device needs a driver not already in the OS, then we might have a
  problem right?

So you download the driver from the manufacture and place it on a media that can be transferred to the machine.  If this still isn't possible then in 99.99% of the cases a device that does require a driver to be used, will itself come with media from the manufacture, and that media is cheaper then any alternative.  If that still isn't possible then the machine should be configured ahead of time so the device can be used.

The plastic trash can has existed for a long time, but not the automatic types you can get today. There are numerous durable plastic models in the marketplace, fitting in any room in the house or office. The intelligent model is sensor managed and has a lid which usually quickly opens when the junk bag gets about 12 inches and 130 degree angles from the can's sensor. With normal usage, the strength will last about 6 months with 4 D-size batteries. For people who do not require trash totes, the inner bucket can be quickly removed and cleaned if the trash is removed and taken out. The plastic a waste of money can that is made today is perfect for bathroom with touchless faucets and automatic soap dispensers. This is the cheapest and easiest trash can to use for cleanliness. Plastic that may be placed over stainless steel will make it even more robust while even now being easy to clean. The main advantages of this model is their finger-print resistant cover which is also drop and scratch free. They can be hard to damage even though providing a huge volume in proportions and choices of designs and colors, along with the 3 to 4 gallon plastic litter cans being the best alternatives, due to the ability to use grocery store bags for trash carriers to save money.

I have noticed that the perfect accessory to tanned, toned 'legs up to here' (… And mine only go up to here – Bridget Jones) that all the French girls have #ColourMeGreen, is an anklet. Whether gold and silver chains, or fabric braids, or even ribbons, they are wearing them.
So I decided, I may not have 'legs up to here' or anything closely resembling a tan (think more freckled lobster!), but I could damn well still have the jewels to match the non existent tan.
opted for the simple gold chain as recently I have been wearing more gold jewellery than silver and a plain chain would be the easiest to wear. I also thought the sparkly charmed ones would annoy me too much as I was walking along.
I love my new anklet, it is so light and easy to wear; I even forget I have it on. This seems to be one of the easiest jewellery trends I have tried out lately.

Optimizing Your Story Ideas for Stronger Engagement
February 15th, 2019 by Chris Winkle
When we start creating stories from concepts, it's usually best to work on whatever grabs us. That way we can focus on shaping our inspiration into a strong plot structure that centers our darlings. If this process isn't familiar to you, I have an article specifically on turning sparks of inspiration into a story, and many people also find my short story outline process helpful.
With enough time, a new storyteller becomes an old hand at finding new premises and creating a basic plot structure from them. Once you get there, the next step is to be a little more discriminating about which stories you invest time in. This doesn't have to mean throwing away your new darling. Simply benchmarking your ideas based on ANTS criteria and making tweaks can do wonders in improving audience enthusiasm when you're done. Let's go over how to do that, letter by letter.
Improving Attachment
The first step is to make sure your main character is someone readers will bond with. This can be especially tough because we always love our main character; it's hard for us to realize that other people might not. Think of it this way: your hero has to prove themself to the audience in the same way they have to prove themself worthy of being the story's hero.
Start by checking if your character has sympathetic and/or selfless traits. If you need ideas, see my handy list of likable character traits.
Sympathetic traits entail your character enduring some kind of hardship. They must not deserve the hardship they are enduring, but it must also not feel forced or manufactured on your part – generic social stigma often comes off that way. Instead, look for something that real people experience every day.
Selfless traits entail your character doing something for others, with no gain for themself. That includes social credit – if your character saves someone from a burning building and is cheered on the way out, it doesn't count. It works best if your character takes on additional hardship as a cost of helping others, because this also produces sympathy.
It's most effective to have both sympathetic and selfless traits, but it's not essential. If you are missing one because you have a character who's comfortable or selfish at the start of your story, I would work to bring the other aspect out as much as you can.
Next, think about whether you'd like your main character to be relatable or distinctive. Either is a good choice, but knowing will help you make strategic decisions when depicting your character.
Relatable characters are bland by nature, with traits that make them feel like an average person of their demographic. Generally they should start the story out with few, if any, exceptional abilities. The audience will live vicariously through them. Harry Potter is a great example of this type of character.
Distinctive characters have traits that are really unusual. These traits are used to add novelty and make them entertaining for audiences to watch, helping them bond with the character. Deadpool is a great example of this type of character.
Once you think about these things, you should know the general strategy you will be using to get readers to fall for your character. Next, plan how you will bring these things out in the beginning of your work. It's not effective to just tell audiences that your character has these traits. Telling includes making other characters talk about your protagonist or alluding to things that happened offscreen. The audience needs to see these traits in action during the story's opening. Maybe the hero helps a cat out of a tree, and as a result, they're late to work. Perhaps they give up their meal to someone hungry on the street. Do the best you can to weave it into your overall plot.
Improving Novelty
Novelty comes in many forms, but speculative fiction is powered by highly novel settings, so we'll start there.
Start by considering the basic elements of your setting.
Is it on Earth, an Earth-like world, or a very alien world?
Does it take place around today, in the past, or in the future?
What are the aesthetics of the setting? Will there be a lot of cyber technology, clockwork, or natural landscapes?
Is it particularly dystopian or utopian?
If you don't already know your subgenre of speculative fiction, these considerations should help you find it. While a future dystopian cyber-tech story is almost certainly cyberpunk, an Earth-like world with lots of natural landscapes is probably some type of medieval fantasy. Resist the temptation to think of your work as alone and apart from the rest of speculative fiction. Even if it's truly unique, romanticizing it will not help you make it better. Find what commonalities you can.
What you'll do next depends on your setting and subgenre.
If your setting is flexible or hasn't been determined yet, look for something unusual that will complement your story. We have a list of underused settings that you can get inspiration from.
If you're in a pretty broad and popular subgenre like urban fantasy, epic fantasy, or space opera, look for ways to make your setting stand out from others. Maybe your spaceships are actually powered by magic, or your fantasy world is a dreamscape created by a sleeping god.
If your setting is part of a more niche genre, you may want to focus your attention on giving your world a strong theme related to that genre and making sure all the pieces of your story emphasize it. If your story is cyberpunk, make it cyberpunk. Your setting will still benefit from a unique take, but a large alteration is less necessary.
The best choice of setting will not only have a cool and unique aesthetic to it but will be something you can personally get excited about. If possible, choose something related to an area of expertise or interest you have. If you're into environmental causes, choose a setting where ecosystems are important. If you're in the tech industry, choose a setting with the type of technology you are familiar with.
Your personal expertise and excitement are important because a setting that's unique in theory but not fleshed out on paper won't provide any novelty. If your space opera story uses magitech for space technology, you might have a ritual chamber instead of a warp core, and the ship's AI might be some kind of divine spirit. You'll need to feel engaged with the setting to generate details like these, and a wealth of details is what matters. If the setting doesn't feel like it's magitech, then it might as well not be.
Note: If you're working on a short story, you may not have room to do a lot of worldbuilding. In that case, try to feature one setting element your audience can get excited about, like plant golems, fairies riding songbirds, or sapient computer programs.
Plot and Character Novelty
For the rest of the story, the biggest thing you'll want to do is check for clichés. The more well-versed you are in your subgenre, the easier it will be to judge what's cliché. For characters, understanding typical archetypes like villains, love interests, or mentors is very helpful. If your characters feel like typical examples of a common archetype, they could come across as cliché. For your plot, watch out for anything that feels too predictable.
However, not everyone has time to read all the things. When in doubt, ask some fellow genre fans or look to see how many uses of the convention are listed on TV Tropes. Keep in mind that most tropes are not cliché; they're just patterns that have been seen before. There's nothing wrong with that.
Finding clichés isn't the end of the world. You'll just want to look for something unique to add. For instance, if your main character is a great hero foretold by a prophecy, you might give this trope a twist. Here are some examples:
The force behind the hero turns out to be evil, and the hero has to subvert their destiny.
Someone else was actually the chosen one, but that person died unexpectedly. In a last ditch effort to save the day, the main character has to take on their role.
The prophecy actually says the hero will fail to save the day. However, the main character feels it's important to try anyway.
If you decided on a distinctive hero in the last section, you may also want to think more about what uncommon traits you can give them that the audience will find interesting. For inspiration, I also have a list of some underused character ideas.
Improving Tension
If you've gotten all the way to optimizing your story ideas, you've probably already learned a lot about this. When we start storytelling, conflict is usually the biggest thing missing from our stories, so much of our focus goes into creating it.
The reason we need conflict is to raise the story's overall tension (the uncertainty over a problem that matters). Mastering basic plot structure means your story has some level of tension. However, some basic checks before you start writing can help you manage and maintain tension throughout the story.
First, in longer stories it's important to have a plot progression that doesn't get your protagonist and antagonist fighting life-or-death battles too early. If the antagonist actually wins, your protagonist is dead, and if the antagonist loses, they won't feel threatening anymore. Bye bye, tension. You can use several different strategies to prevent this.
Make your antagonist's big goal something that doesn't require killing the hero. Then your antagonist can actually succeed. This is a great way to escalate tension in the story. After the antagonist succeeds, the hero has to turn things around.
Make your protagonist too insignificant to take on the antagonist in the beginning. Instead, your protagonist should struggle to stand up to the antagonist's weakest minions. Your protagonist should grow in power enough to face the antagonist by the end, but the hero should still feel outmatched.
Plan some preliminary steps that need to happen before they can face each other. The hero might be focused on uniting the resistance while the evil overlord is seeking a McGuffin to make themself more powerful. After their forces are gathered, it comes to a final showdown.
Next, make sure the story's tension never disappears. That often happens when the hero's chance of succeeding gets too high or after those chances improve significantly. To maintain tension, make sure there's always some level of urgency to the big plot problem. A passing day should matter, either because people are dying or because there's a big deadline looming. In addition, if your hero ever has a significant win or gets new allies, etc., you'll need to raise tension by introducing a new twist or making something bad happen. See my list of ways to restore tension.
Even though it's important to have tension throughout the story, you don't want nonstop urgent action. That will quickly become tiring. To give the story some breathing room, you'll want to trade off between different types of conflict. Alternate exciting action scenes with interpersonal scenes that focus on character arcs. Characters can have a nice chat while they're hiding from the big bad, while they're fleeing in a vehicle, or while they're locked together in a prison cell. The big problem is still looming over them, but they're not running around at that very moment.
Improving Satisfaction
Whereas tension is about creating and maintaining compelling problems, satisfaction is about how those problems are solved. Once the outcome of a problem becomes certain, the conflict's resolution has been reached. But to leave your audience feeling satisfied, they must feel that the character they've grown attached to earned their resolution.
One of the most common ways satisfaction is ruined is by robbing the story of character agency. Conflicts in a story need to be proactively addressed by the protagonist. You can get away with less agency in the story's beginning, when the protagonist might be a fish out of water. Even so, they should be making choices that change the outcome of events. If the character just watches as the conflict happens or is dragged around by other characters, conflicts will feel unsatisfying – often even before the resolution appears.
Examining your protagonist in early stages can encourage agency. Look for two things.
What does your protagonist contribute that no one else can? To encourage attachment and make explaining easier, it's common to have a protagonist who is just an ordinary person caught up in incredible events. But if you're not careful, that ordinary person will be overshadowed by more qualified characters. So give your relatable protagonist a special skill or ability, or otherwise modify your premise so it's impossible for anyone else to solve the big problems of the story.
Give your protagonist motivation for solving problems. Sometimes storytellers get caught up in the stage of portraying a reluctant hero. If your hero has a personality that makes them refuse to solve problems, you'll have to give them a compelling reason for why they can't avoid it this time, or you'll need to change their personality.
Aside from that hurdle, the most important thing to examine in early stages is how the climax will work. If you're a discovery writer through and through, you can make revisions later, but it's much easier to pull off a satisfying climax by stepping back and thinking it through. Climaxes are tough to get right because they have a lot of requirements.
The tension of the story should be at its highest, which means the protagonist is facing a challenge that's difficult to solve. If it seems easy, you have a tension problem.
Despite the fact that it's difficult to solve, the protagonist still has to solve it somehow. Others can help during the scene, but there must be a single moment in which the protagonist does something that turns failure into success (or success into failure, for a bad ending).
The protagonist must succeed or fail because they deserve to. This sense of karmic justice makes endings satisfying. The protagonist might use their wits, previous hard work, or integrity to win the day. See my list of karmic solutions.
The solution they use must be adequately foreshadowed, so it doesn't feel like you, the storyteller, just made it up on the spot.
Altogether this is a pretty tall order. It's quite common for storytellers with otherwise strong plotting skills to trip up at the climax. With such a challenge, the earlier you think about it, the better.
After enough drafts and revisions, you can create your own checklist. You might have little trouble with making sympathetic characters but have to do an extra step to add novelty. Take notes on what you could have done better, and look through them when starting the next story.

Wouldn't "relatable" and "distinctive" be more like end points on a scale, rather than two distinct categories?

I agree. An example of a character that is both distinctive and relatable would be Spiderman, when he debuted in the Silver Age of comics.

That's a really difficult question. Because characters have a huge mix of traits, it may be possible to give a character a few traits that make them distinctive while still retaining high relatability using other important traits are easy to identify with. Whereas another character might have all of their traits be somewhat distinctive, and somewhat relatable.
I do think in most cases this is a tradeoff where more distinctiveness results in less relatability. But that doesn't mean they aren't relatable enough for you purposes as a storyteller. Just like sympathetic antagonists are by their nature not as scary, but you still make them threatening enough to work for your story.
Reply to Chris Winkle
I was thinking because I've based the MC in my novel on myself. (She's still pretty flawed, because I'm pretty flawed, and she's got hefty doses of spinach inspired by spinach in my own life, so it's not a wish fulfilment self-insert. She's just based on me.) I'd probably place myself on a scale inbetween Harry Potter and Deadpool.
I'm not sure which is the grim end of that scale and which is horrible end ☹
Reply to Leon
Also, I think you could make a character that is neither. For instance, a stereotypical bad boss character would probably be unrelatable, but also wouldn't be that interesting.

Tumblr, the innovative blogging platform created by young web entrepreneur David Karp in 2007, had a bit of a media moment on the afternoon of Thursday, June 24.
Simultaneously, the URL of the Times' Tumblr—at some point in the morning, it had been wiped clean of its five or so test posts and updated with a single entry that read "Coming soon!"—was starting to make the rounds on Twitter.
FishbowlNY tweeted: "Can't swing a dead cat today without hitting some media outlet that's starting a Tumble-log."
When it comes to social media, traditional news organizations have wholeheartedly embraced Facebook and Twitter. Last we checked, The Times had 627,497 Facebook fans and about 2.5 million Twitter followers.
But the idea that a publication would create an external blog in addition to the blogs that live on its own website is just starting to take hold. And Tumblr, known for its sophisticated user interaction features, has become the media's preferred platform.
"It seems like all of these guys have been eager to experiment with emerging platforms," said Karp, in an email. "The most exciting part is seeing publishers like BlackBook and Newsweek finding unique ways to use Tumblr that are hugely complementary to their normal publishing routine."
Mark Coatney, the Newsweek editor who started and maintains the magazine's Tumblr, agrees.
"I think Tumblr is a great tool because it allows a really easy, natural interaction with the audience," he said.
Tumblr has proven an effective way for Newsweek to respond to all the noise surrouning the magazine's pending sale—Coatney used it quite effectively to push back against recent columns by Howard Kurtz and David Carr.
And it's not so bad for business, either. Coatney said Newsweek's Tumblr has 10,400 followers so far, and it drives arout 500 readers to Newsweek.com everyday. (A drop in the bucket compared to Newsweek.com's overall daily traffic, but still.) Sometime in the next few months, Coatney said, Newsweek plans to roll out a platform integration that will bring some of its Tumblr content into the Newsweek space and lead Newsweek readers back to Tumblr.
"A big media website is kind of this formal, corporate space," said Coatney, "in which interaction, if it happens at all, takes place on this really unequal arena. News sites present their stories, and then, at the most, maybe they'll let their readers respond in a lesser space. Tumblr is a level playing field, and because of that you get a much better discussion and engagement with your readers, which is vital in building a community around your publication."
Some publications, like The New Yorker, which unveiled its Tumblr on May 21, use it primarily as a content promotion tool. Others, like The Village Voice, seize on the user-to-user dialogue that Tumblr facilitates.
As for how The Times might use it, we reached out to Jennifer Preston, The Time's social media editor, by phone and Facebook. (She is the social media edtior after all!) We haven't heard back.
Maybe The Times will use the page as a personal diary of sorts, taking the voice of one editor (like Newsweek's Mark Coatney). Or maybe it will become a sort of unofficial publicity page where The Times snipes back at its critics — a sort of anti-public editor blogspace. Maybe it will just be an idea shop where The Times tinkers with different ways of getting their work into the hands of people on the internet. That would probably be the most fun.

Oh, you didn't know? We had the Star Wars crew invade our Irvine Orthodontics office last year including a fairly tall Yoda, a very stern Princess Amidala, Princess Leia, a Jedi, and two female Darth Vaders. Can't believe that there wasn't a Boba Fett or a Darth Maul. Still, you can see that our office loves Halloween and loves dressing up. We're still not sure what this year's theme will be. If anyone has any great ideas, please feel free to send them on over.
It always means so much to us when we see what a difference we make in our community as well as in the youth of our community.

WE LOVE HALLOWEEN! WHAT'S OUR THEME THIS YEAR?
We don't blog often but when we do, it's usually about Halloween, our favorite holiday! Why? Because we get to dress up (not like we don't already dress up throughout the year). And, the main color of Halloween is orange, which also happens to be our favorite color and the color of our company! So we've been a witches/mummy theme, a zombie theme, and a foods you can't eat while having braces theme. So what's our theme this year? Guess you'll have to stay tuned and find out for yourselves!
VALENTINE'S POEM MATCHING CONTEST 2015! WIN AN IBEATS HEADPHONE!
We've received a lot of great entries for our Valentine's Poetry Contest this year so far. But it turns out, everyone on the iSmiles team wrote their own poems as well. First person to submit and correctly match all 7 poems to their matching 7 poets will win an iBeats headphone! It's that simple. If you want a glimpse into our team, check out our Irvine team's information on our website. That will definitely figure out which poet wrote which poem. Deadline is Valentine's Day, February 14th! Now go get to it!
WOOHOO! 2014 HAS FINALLY COME TO AN END! SMILE! IT'S 2015!
Wow, we've had an awesome 2014! We hope everyone has, too, especially with all the beautiful smiles we've seen along the way. We have much to be thankful for but we mostly want to thank you! Everyone who has supported, befriended us, we love you! We love to see everyone smile and we will do everything we can to make sure you have one you can be proud of. We look forward to 2015 where we will be involved with even more smiles and also be more involved with the community. Cheers and be safe out there, everyone!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! FROM THE ENTIRE iSMILES ORTHODONTICS TEAM IN IRVINE!
We are a silly bunch and it shows! Some of us decided to wear ugly sweaters, some did not. Didn't matter. We were all required to have funny poses. From our entire team in the Irvine office, we'd like to wish everyone a happy holidays, merry Christmas, and happy Hanukkah! We hope everyone has a fantastic time with their loved ones and we hope everyone gets everything they want! Giving the gift of braces as a Christmas present is not a bad thing! Who wouldn't want a nice smile as a Christmas present?
IS HALLOWEEN ALREADY OVER? WE MISS IT!
We can't believe Halloween has come and gone already. We all in the Irvine office miss it because we get to dress up and act silly. Wait. We do that everyday already. In case you couldn't guess the theme of our Halloween costumes this year, we're all dressed as items you should not be consuming when you have braces: diet Coke, apple, jolly rancher, sugar daddy, M & Ms, tootsie roll, and candy corn. We can't wait to come up with our theme for next year! Maybe, we'll just dress up once a month in the office just for the fun of it.
ANOTHER OPERATION GRATITUDE DONATION! 13 LBS OF CANDY DONATED IN OUR IRVINE OFFICE!
The Ho family decided to come by our Irvine Orthodontic office and drop off their 13 lbs of candy they picked up from Halloween and donate it all to the troops overseas! Operation Gratitude is well under way at iSmiles! We love it when all of our awesome patients get involved with our charitable endeavors! We're sure the troops overseas will immensely enjoy all of this candy these kids collected during Halloween for them. And for that, we graciously recognize the Ho family for their contribution. Keep up the good work!
OUR FIRST CANDY DONATION TO THE TROOPS!
iSmiles Orthodontics is proud to partake in Operation Gratitude where dentists nationwide are teaming up to "buy back" candy from children to be sent to US military troops overseas. Roland Holmdahl brought in 10 lbs of candy into our Irvine office and earned himself $10! Way to go Roland! Our troops overseas will surely be thankful of your donation to them. Keep up the good work!
OUR IRVINE OFFICE CAN CAN-CAN! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Our office has fun and it shows! Day in and day out, our orthodontic team has a blast doing what we do. And when it comes to our favorite holiday, we love it even more so! Every year, we have a theme for our costumes. This year, we decided to be all the things that are bad for your braces! Diet Coke, apple, M&Ms, Jolly Rancher, Sugar Daddy, Candy Corn, and Tootsie Roll. We couldn't do the Tootsie Roll, so we decided to can-can instead. Happy halloween, everybody! Be safe and have fun out there!
Our Irvine orthodontic team would just like to remind everyone that it's never too late to get braces. Haha, just kidding. We love halloween so much, even our decorations have braces! Swing on by our office this Thursday when our whole office will be fully decked out in our halloween costumes. What will be this year's theme? Can you guess?
OUR IRVINE TEAM IS ALWAYS HAPPY AT WORK!
Whenever you visit the Irvine team, you'll be greeted with the utmost professional care and a big smile! We want to make sure you're comfortable and happy getting your orthodontics treatment from us every time you come to visit. We also like to have fun, so if you're feeling down, come on by and visit! We'll be sure to make your day a little brighter. We love what we do and it shows!
FREE PRIZE WITH EVERY ORTHODONTIC REFERRAL!
We're always giving away prizes but we especially love giving away ones for referrals! With your first referral, you get a $100 gift card or an iPod Shuffle. On your second and third referrals, you get a $200 gift card or an iPod Nano. Fourth and fifth referrals get an iPod touch. Once you refer 6 or more orthodontic patients, you get an iPad or an iPad Mini for each referral after that. If that isn't the best incentive referral program in the Irvine area, we don't know is! So start referring everyone you know! Bring them in for a complimentary consultation.
We love receiving thank you letters from all of the organizations we sponsor, especially local ones in Irvine, like this recent letter from the Woodbridge High School Warrior Football team. We love it when they come visit and we love supporting them! Go Warriors!
HOW MUCH DOES OUR PUMPKIN WEIGH? WIN MOVIE TICKETS!
Here we go! Our current Irvine office Halloween contest is Guess the Weight of Our Pumpkin! Whoever gets it right, or the closest, wins a free pair of movie tickets! You must come into the office to enter. You may not pick up the pumpkin. You can fill out our little contest entry forms located right next to the big pumpkin. Even if you don't have an appointment, just come on in and fill out a contest form. The more, the merrier! Good luck everyone!
Our orthodontic offices enjoy helping all of our patients, children, teenagers and adults, achieve a wonderful straight smile. Our dedicated teams, friendly fun environments, and enthusiastic doctors, make the process of having braces the best it can be. We welcome new patients and invite you to our ortho office in Irvine or our Corona kids' dentistry & orthodontics office for a complimentary consultation. Our goal is a positive end result with a smile that yields confidence for a lifetime. Give your child or yourself the gift of straight teeth.
We strive to make our orthodontic offices a relaxed and inviting atmosphere for our patients. Whether it be our friendly staff, our children-friendly offices, or WiFi we want to make sure you and your family are comfortable and entertained.

The 4th East Asia Energy Forum: A Low-Carbon Energy Transition in the ASEAN Region
East Asia Energy Forum
Availability, accessibility, and affordability of energy supply is the most fundamental requirement for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries in their energy policy planning and implementation. The East Asia Summit (EAS) Energy Outlook, updated by Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) in 2019-20, suggested that ASEAN would still depend on fossil fuels by 2050 and the share of fossil fuels per total primary energy supply (TPES) in 2050 would be 87% in the Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario and 82% under the Alternative Policy Scenario (APS) including aggressive energy efficiency and conservation (EEC) and variable renewable energy (vRE) targets. CO2 emissions by ASEAN countries from 2017 to 2050 are expected to increase by 3.2 times in the BAU scenario and by 2.3 times under the APS.
On the other hand, the Paris Agreement sets the long-term temperature goal to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal, Parties to the Paris Agreement aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHGs (carbon neutrality) in the second half of this century. With this in mind, a growing number of countries have announced carbon neutral goals by 2050 for contributing to the above objective of the Paris Agreement. The IEA released 'Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector'depicting a pathway towards global net-zero emission in the world by 2050 including the ASEAN region. However, carbon neutrality cannot be achieved by simply announcing it. One size does not fit all. As the Parties to the Paris Agreement, ASEAN countries need to pursue low carbon energy transition pathways aiming at carbon neutrality as their ultimate objective taking into account each country's specific national circumstances and ensuring other policy objectives, namely, availability, accessibility and affordability. With the participation of policymakers, energy analysts and private sectors in the EAS region, the Fourth East Asia Energy Forum will discuss feasible and ASEAN specific pathways towards of carbon neutrality as their ultimate objective.
The Fourth East Asia Energy Forum will consist of the following three parts: 1. Gas and vRE as low carbon transition energy towards carbon neutrality, 2. Hydrogen and Ammonia as energy technologies for ultimate carbon neutrality, and 3. Carbon Neutral Pathway for ASEAN. Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is also one of the indispensable zero-carbon technologies. Since it was already taken up at the Third East Asia Energy Forum held in November 2020 and the First Asia CCUS Network Forum in June 2021, it will be discussed in part 2 together with hydrogen and ammonia.
In panel session 1, the role of natural gas and VRE such as solar PV will be discussed in the transitional phase towards carbon neutrality until when hydrogen, ammonia and CCUS technologies will commercially be available after 2040. In panel session 2, the role of hydrogen and ammonia and their supply-demand potential in terms of production storage transport and consumption will be discussed expecting their commercial availability after 2040. In panel session 3, experts and policymakers will discuss how to achieve net zero-emission in ASEAN beyond 2050 utilizing hydrogen, ammonia and CCUS via transitional phase utilizing natural gas and vRE.
The Fourth East Asia Energy Forum, 'A Low-Carbon Energy Transition in the ASEAN Region', co-hosted by ERIA and Ministry of Energy, Brunei Darussalam, will be a virtual forum due to the COVID-19. It will discuss the current status and holistic low carbon energy transition towards ultimate objective of carbon neutrality in the EAS region with particular focus on the ASEAN region
The Forum will be privileged to have an opening address by H.E. Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Haji Mat Suny bin Haji Md Hussein, Minister of Energy, Brunei Darussalam, and H.E. Dato Lim Jock Hoi, Secretary-General of ASEAN. ERIA also aims to have keynote speeches by ministers from ASEAN 8 countries, Japan and United States.

Rolls-Royce reflects on heritage of electric power ahead of historic announcement
Extraordinary prophecy of founding father, Charles Rolls, revealed
Rolls championed electric cars in 1900, deeming Columbia model best of its type
Royce, one of the first electrical engineers, supplied motors to earliest electric cars
CEO, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, pledged to bring Rolls-Royce electric this decade

C S ROLLS ON A COLUMBIA ELECTRIC CARRIAGE, C. 1898
"In April 1900, our founding forefather, Charles Rolls, made a prescient prophecy about automotive electrification. Move forward over 120 years to when I made a public promise, on the record, that we would bring the first fully electric Rolls–Royce to market within the current decade. And, right now, our company is embarking on an historic undertaking to create the first, super-luxury car of its type. This will happen sooner than many thought possible, through the incredible skills, expertise, vision and dedication of our engineers, designers and specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce.
"In this ground-breaking endeavor, we are drawing on a remarkable heritage, unique in our industry. Our founders and those who worked alongside them in the marque's formative years were all important pioneers of electric power, as well as their era's leading experts in automotive engineering. As we herald a new electric future at Rolls-Royce, I am proud and humbled to share their inspiring stories, which have never been told in one place before, and shine a fresh and fascinating light on our company's earliest days."
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Electrification has long been promoted as the future of automotive propulsion. Mainstream manufacturers are increasingly embracing hybrid and battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology, supported by the expansion of national charging infrastructures.
To date, Rolls-Royce has communicated its electrification strategy in three simple statements:
The marque will introduce an all-electric car this decade (2020 – 2030).
This car will be a pure BEV, not a hybrid of any kind.
It will be launched only when the time is right, and every element meets Rolls-Royce's technical, aesthetic and performance standards.
There is considerable interest and media speculation surrounding Rolls-Royce's plans. Ahead of further official statements, we invite the media to reflect on the marque's unique heritage in electric power, which pre-dates the founding of Rolls-Royce the company itself, and involves many of the principal protagonists whose names are forever associated with it.

REPORT: Millions of Years of Life Lost to Shutdown 'far beyond what the virus itself has caused'
RALEIGH – The debate about executive edicts shutting down states out of fear of coronavirus has been raging since the the outset. It was incorrectly framed early on, by proponents of lockdown policies, as an 'economy vs lives' or 'money vs lives' debate.
Most of us know that this is a false dichotomy that's is only propelled by those that support lockdown policies and demonize all opposed to them as wanton killers. In reality, the consequences of shutdown policies weigh on public health conditions even more than the virus itself.
That is the conclusion of a report by conducted by three distinguished business professors, published in the Hill, about the effects of the unprecedented mandated recession on Americans lives. One of them the authors has a North Carolina connection; Ralph L Keeney is professor emeritus in business at Duke University.
The report highlights all the missed healthcare checks, new bouts of depression, and how economic deterioration translates into negative health outcomes. It's especially disruptive because this recession was mandated, and health checks essentially discouraged for weeks. It makes the 'collective/common good' argument of shutdown supporters completely moot, and demonstrates the massive costs paid in unintended consequences when government leaders rush to the rescue with arbitrary power.
From the Hill:
"Our governmental COVID-19 mitigation policy of broad societal lockdown focuses on containing the spread of the disease at all costs, instead of "flattening the curve" and preventing hospital overcrowding. Although well-intentioned, the lockdown was imposed without consideration of its consequences beyond those directly from the pandemic.
The policies have created the greatest global economic disruption in history, with trillions of dollars of lost economic output. These financial losses have been falsely portrayed as purely economic. To the contrary, using numerous National Institutes of Health Public Access publications, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and various actuarial tables, we calculate that these policies will cause devastating non-economic consequences that will total millions of accumulated years of life lost in the United States, far beyond what the virus itself has caused.
Pandemics have afflicted humankind throughout history. They devastated the Roman and Byzantine empires, Medieval Europe, China and India, and they continue to the present day despite medical progress.
The past century has witnessed three pandemics with at least 100,000 U.S. fatalities: The "Spanish Flu," 1918-1919, with between 20 million and 50 million fatalities worldwide, including 675,000 in the U.S.; the "Asian Flu," 1957-1958, with about 1.1 million deaths worldwide, 116,000 of those in the U.S.; and the "Hong Kong Flu," 1968-1972, with about 1 million people worldwide, including 100,000 in the U.S. So far, the current pandemic has produced almost 100,000 U.S. deaths, but the reaction of a near-complete economic shutdown is unprecedented.
The lost economic output in the U.S. alone is estimated to be 5 percent of GDP, or $1.1 trillion for every month of the economic shutdown. This lost income results in lost lives as the stresses of unemployment and providing basic needs increase the incidence of suicide, alcohol or drug abuse, and stress-induced illnesses. These effects are particularly severe on the lower-income populace, as they are more likely to lose their jobs, and mortality rates are much higher for lower-income individuals.
Statistically, every $10 million to $24 million lost in U.S. incomes results in one additional death. One portion of this effect is through unemployment, which leads to an average increase in mortality of at least 60 percent. That translates into 7,200 lives lost per month among the 36 million newly unemployed Americans, over 40 percent of whom are not expected to regain their jobs. In addition, many small business owners are near financial collapse, creating lost wealth that results in mortality increases of 50 percent. With an average estimate of one additional lost life per $17 million income loss, that would translate to 65,000 lives lost in the U.S. for each month because of the economic shutdown.

Настоящие монстры () — американский мультсериал, созданный студией «Класки-Чупо» для канала Nickelodeon.

Сюжет
Действие сериала разворачивается в мире, в котором наряду с людьми обитают разумные монстры. Сериал рассказывает о приключениях трёх монстров, обучающихся в Академии Настоящих Монстров искусству пугать людей. Действие сериала в основном разворачивается в окрестностях города Ньюарк, Нью-Джерси.

Основные персонажи
 Айкис (, в русском дубляже озв. Дмитрий Филимонов) — главный герой сериала, маленький монстр, обладает большими длинными ушами. Один из самых страшных монстров, но в душе он очень добр, что мешает ему раскрыться. Умеет раздуваться, многократно увеличиваться в размерах, пугая тем самым людей (однако до тех пор, пока он этого не сделает, люди часто ошибочно принимают его за кролика — из-за ушей).

 Облина (, в русском дубляже озв. Татьяна Шагалова) — происходит из семьи богатых монстров. Любит искусство, поэзию, живопись. Очень тонкая и сильная натура. Имеет вид леденца, раскрашенного в чёрно-белые полоски. Любимый способ пугать людей — показывать им свои внутренние органы, также имеет способность превращаться в различные вещи и может растягивать своё тело на огромные расстояния.

 Крамм (, в русском дубляже озв. Борис Быстров) — как у всех членов его семьи, глазные яблоки Крамма не прикреплены к телу и он носит их в руках, что вызывает определённые трудности, когда перед ним возникает необходимость использования обеих рук (в этом случае он помещает свои глаза в рот). Основным оружием Крамма в пугании людей является невыносимый смрад его подмышек. Крамм обладает хорошим аппетитом и страдает от боязни высоты.

 Громбл (, в русском дубляже озв. Никита Прозоровский) — наглый, жадный и психованный наставник в Академии Настоящих Монстров, преподаёт предмет пугания троице главных героев. Громбл известен своей привычкой умалять способности его учеников пугать людей, но часто терпит фиаско. Имеет сильную тягу к красным туфлям на каблуках.

 Снорч — самый страшный монстр, из-за чего его все боятся, выглядит, как антропоморфное существо жёлтого цвета с большими клыками и двумя щупальцами-усиками на голове. Почти не разговаривает. Лучший друг Зимбо. В серии «Как Снорч впервые назвал меня по имени» влюбляется в Облину.

 Зимбо — монстр, похожий на одноногую пчелу с зелёными волосами. Большую часть времени сидит на голове Снорча.

 Саймон (в русском дубляже Никита Прозоровский) — охотник на монстров, жаждущий доказать людям, что монстры существуют. В одной серии в его ухо забрался Айкис.

Награды
Мультсериал был награждён на фестивалях:
 1й приз в разделе телешоу МФАФ в Оттаве, Канада, 1994,
 Приз «За самый смешной фильм» МФАФ в Аннеси, Франция, 1995,
 «Гран-при» МКФ в Оттаве, Канада, 1996.

Видеоигра
В 1995 году по мотивам мультсериала вышла одноимённая видеоигра для платформ SNES и Sega Mega Drive, разработанная студией Majesco.

Также Айкис фигурирует в качестве одного из персонажей в игре Nicktoons Racing на PlayStation, PC и Game Boy Advance (хотя его нет в версии игры для Game Boy Color).

Проанонсировано участие персонажей в конструкторе мультфильмов от Microsoft Nickelodeon 3D Movie Maker.

Das Tingel-Tangel-Theater im Keller des Theater des Westens in Berlin wurde 1931 von Friedrich Hollaender gegründet. 1921–1923 bestand in diesen Räumen die von Trude Hesterberg gegründete "Wilde Bühne", die neben zahlreichen weiteren Kabaretts dieser Zeit wie dem Schall und Rauch, dem Café Größenwahn und der Katakombe eine der bedeutendsten Unterhaltungsstätten Berlins war.

Viele prominente Stars oder die es noch wurden, gingen in der Kantstraße ein und aus. Ob im Publikum oder auf der Bühne, darunter waren: Curt Bois, Margo Lion, Oskar Karlweis, Bertolt Brecht, Erich Mühsam, Paul Graetz, Wilhelm Bendow, Walter Gross, Hermann Vallentin, Blandine Ebinger, Walter Lieck, Marlene Dietrich, Theo Lingen, Kurt Gerron, Trude Berliner, Rosa Valetti, Hans Hermann Schaufuss, Kate Kühl, Hedi Schoop, Victor Palfi, Toni van Eyck, Günther Lüders, Dora Gerson usw.

Beginn der Wilden Bühne
1921 gründete Trude Hesterberg die Wilde Bühne gemeinsam mit Hans Janowitz, Walter Koppel, Leo Heller und Walter Mehring. Im Eröffnungsprogramm trat neben Hesterberg (Künstlerische Leitung) u. a. der noch nicht bekannte Kurt Gerron auf. Die Kompositionen waren von Werner Richard Heymann. 1923 gab Margo Lion hier ihr Debüt zusammen mit Oskar Karlweis mit Die Linie der Mode. Am 16. November 1923 brach ein riesiges Feuer am Vormittag aus und legte alles in Trümmer. Ursache soll eine falsche Sicherung gewesen sein, die einen Kabelbrand auslöste. Trude Hesterberg fehlte die Kraft für einen Wiederaufbau. Wilhelm Bendow blieb und eröffnete es wieder im Februar 1924 mit seinem Erfolgsstück Tütü. Viele aus dem Hesterberg-Ensemble waren wieder dabei.

Höhepunkt des Theaters
Aufsehen erregt der Besuch von König Amanullah aus Afghanistan in Berlin, dessen Besuch rund eine Million Mark gekostet haben soll. Einen Tag später stehen Trude Hesterberg als Soraya und Kurt Gerron als König Amanullah auf der Bühne. Kurze Zeit später wird das Kabarett geschlossen.

Tingel-Tangel-Theater
1931 wird die Bühne durch Friedrich Hollaender neu belebt, der hier das "Tingel-Tangel-Theater" eröffnet. Das Nibelungenzimmer in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft lässt er 1932 wegreißen, um mehr Sitzplätze zu schaffen. Friedrich Hollaender, der zahlreiche Revuen für Rudolf Nelson schrieb, hat nun endlich seine eigene Bühne und nennt sie Tingel-Tangel, auf der seine sogenannten "Revuetten" Platz finden.

Eigentlich finden nur zwei Revuen statt. Im Herbst 1931 erscheint "Spuk in der Villa Stern" mit den Liedern "An allem sind die Juden schuld", "Die Kleptomanin", "Der Spuk persönlich" und "Münchhausen" allabendlich um 21:15 Uhr in 17 Verkleidungen und ein Jahr später "Höchste Eisenbahn" mit den Chansons "Die Notbremse" und "Das Chanson vom falschen Zug" von Marlene Dietrich. Als Marlene Dietrich zu ihrem ersten Besuch aus Amerika im Dezember 1930 wieder nach Berlin kam, saß sie am Premieren-Abend des 7. Januar 1931 in der ersten Reihe des Tingel Tangels. Nach der großen Pause, gab sie dem tosenden Verlangen des Publikums nach, begab sich auf die Bühne und sang ihre Welthits aus dem "Blauen Engel", die aus der Feder Hollaenders stammten. Hollaender begleitete sie am Flügel. Auf den Kritiker und Journalisten Manfred Georg machte sie mit Hollaenders "Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte" besonderen Eindruck. Es war das erste Mal, dass sie ihre und seine Hits aus dem Blauen Engel in Berlin vor öffentlichem Publikum sang. Danach gab es kein Halten mehr, Ovationen schlugen Marlene entgegen »Hoch Marlene!« und »Bravo Marlene!«.

Friedrich Hollaender verlässt Deutschland 1933. Curt Bois und Trude Berliner gehen in die Vereinigten Staaten und versuchen dort ihre Karriere weiterzuführen. Trude Berliner, die als Gertrude Berliner schon als Kinderstar im Film avancierte (Adaments letztes Rennen 1917), spielt gemeinsam mit Curt Bois an der Seite von Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca" 1942 eine Baccara-Spielerin. Blandine Ebinger leitet die Bühne kurze Zeit weiter. Das Kabarett in der Kantstraße wird ab jetzt harmloser und angepasster und wird von Gustav Heppner weitergeführt.

Ende des Theaters
Am 10. Mai 1935 ist es für das Theater aus. Walter Gross wird wegen einer politischen Äußerung direkt aus dem Kabarett von der Gestapo verhaftet und kommt ins KZ Esterwegen, ebenso Günther Lüders und Walter Lieck. Walter Gross und Günther Lüders verlassen wieder das Lager und werden verurteilt und erhalten Arbeitsverbot. Walter Lieck stirbt 1944 an einer verschleppten Blutvergiftung als Folge seiner halbjährigen Inhaftierung im KZ Esterwegen 1935.

Theaterrevue
 Friedrich Hollaenders Tingel Tangel  von James Edward Lyons, Premiere 2011 Vaganten Bühne, Kantstrasse 12, Berlin.
In der Berliner Kantstrasse 12, wo achtzig Jahre zuvor Friedrich Hollaender sein legendäres Tingel Tangel Theater eröffnete, reißt ein junger Mann eine geheimnisvolle Kellertür auf und gerät in die bunte (Alp)-traumwelt der 30er Jahre in Deutschland. Für ihn wird es zum gefährlichen Wettlauf mit der Zeit. Mit seiner Revue beschwört Regisseur James Edward Lyons an historischer Stätte Hollaenders musikalische Geister, von der Ahnfrau bis zur hysterischen Ziege, und lässt dabei die Endzeitstimmung vor der Machtergreifung der Nazis wieder entstehen.
