Mother, Father, Family

Here's a quote from Jung on the key importance of the mother, father and family archetypes:
How is it then, you may ask, with the most ordinary everyday events, with immediate realities like husband, wife , father, mother, child? These ordinary everyday facts, which are eternally repeated, create the mightiest archetypes of all, whose ceaseless activity is everywhere apparent even in a rationalistic age like ours…. The deposit of mankind's whole ancestral experience–so rich in emotional imagery of father, mother, child, husband and wife… has exalted this group of archetypes into the supreme regulating principles of religious and political life, in unconscious recognition of their tremendous psychic powers.
Clearly, Jung thought that coming to terms with the mother, the father, and the family was very important psychologically. How does our experience of father and mother impact us? What is its particular significance?
As with most things in the realm of the psyche, the answer to that question varies immensely from individual to individual. However, we can be sure that a person's individual experience of parents and siblings–their family–is going to have an immense impact on how the individual feels about her- or himself, the world, and his or her place in it. That experience is going to have a profound effect on everything from very mundane, ordinary, every day events right up to and including a person's deepest and most expansive religious and philosophical convictions. Because, among other things, it is going to have an immense bearing on what the psychologist Erikson referred to as basic trust.
It can require a very major effort in a person's psychotherapy to understand the impact of that person's father and mother on their psychic development, in all its complexity and dimensions, positive and negative. We can't open all that up in one blog post. But here are a few questions to be thinking about:
The Mother and Father Archetypes in the Psyche
The bond with the mother is the earliest bond, and the one with the greatest impact on a child. It has a great deal to do with the feeling of belonging in the world, and feeling good about oneself, about one's own being. How has your experience of your mother left you feeling about your life, your value, and how welcome you felt in your family — and in the world?
The bond with the father is deep, but has a rather different character than the bond with the mother. At its most fundamental, it has to do with how we feel about ourselves, also, but it has an aspect to it of how we feel about our ability to be effective and capable people who can get what we want and need from our lives. How has your experience of your father left you feeling about yourself as an agent in the world? How has it left you feeling about your own power and ability?
If I am a woman, how did my relationship with my mother make me feel about myself as a woman? If I'm a man, how did my relationship with my mother tend to make me feel about women?
If I am a man, how did my relationship with my father make me feel about myself as a man? If I'm a woman, how did my relationship with my mother tend to make me feel about men?
Was I able to be myself in my family? Or did I learn I had to be someone else, someone more acceptable, perhaps? Someone tougher, or more capable? Or "less emotional"? Someone invisible, or someone "who doesn't have needs"? Or more "masculine"? Or more "feminine"? Or did I get the message that I could just relax and be myself?
These are very emotional questions for people. Not without reason did Jung call these "the mightiest archetypes of all". Exploring the painful territory around this part of one's life has led to many a journey to healing in therapy. I know that to be true of many of my clients, and I know it to be true in my own life.
I'd be interested in your comments about the impact of the parental archetypes in your life. How did you internalize your parents and your family?
My very best wishes to you on your individual journey to wholeness,

Hi, it's Dan.
Although I've never lived with my dad I lived with my step father for a long time but there was no communication whatsoever. On the other hand mom was always there for me listening, helping me, paying attention and maybe more than enough.
So, in brief, I found protection but not having a decent image of a father made me feel very empty, and still.
Now, I don't even live with my mother neither with a step father. Instead I live with a friend, middle-aged woman, and I feel quite strange with this new environment. I tend to be more reserved and I am afraid this may become an issue in the future.
And, speaking of things not so related: I also don't deal so much with the world. It's quite hard to find the world as a place where I belong. I honestly don't see that happening, and well I guess the absence of a father may be the case. Right?

Aims at generating public awareness by discussing various advancements and challenges in the Diabetes & Endocrinology sector and by promoting innovative products and services via exhibition.
A branch of biology and medicine which primarily deals with the study of endocrine system, hormones and its disorders constitutes Endocrinology. It also involves the study of metabolism, growth and development, digestion, tissue function and various other psychological or behavioural activities which are influenced by hormones. Diabetes, on the other hand, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period mainly due to insulin deficiency or resistance.
Complications associated with diabetes are often acute or chronic. Acute complications, though short-termed, can often present immediate danger and thus needs to be treated at the earliest possible. These short-term complications are mainly characterized by the hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic state of the body in which it is unable to function properly. Acute complications mainly include diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic coma and so on. These complications if promptly treated, usually results in full recovery, however might prove fatal in case of delayed treatment.
Obesity is a major risk factor which is leading to several disfunctions of our body. Overweight makes the cells resistant to the salutary action of insulin which is secreted naturally in our body. This condition leads to type 2 diabetes. Obesity is the major cause for type 2 diabetes. If people reduce weight, then type 2 diabetes are reversible.
Also known as diabetic kidney disease (DKD), diabetic nephropathy is the chronic loss of kidney function primarily because of high blood glucose level. About 40% of the individuals affected with Diabetes Mellitus, eventually develops DKD. Diabetic Nephropathy is characterized by the loss of protein in the urine (proteinuria or albuminuria) and by a decline in the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate of the kidneys. It is one of the most common causes of End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) which can ultimately lead to kidney failure. A proper diet, healthy lifestyle, regular checking of blood glucose and lowering blood pressure can help prevent diabetic nephropathy and protect kidney function.
Diabetes can also cause a group of eye conditions which are collectively called Diabetic eye disease. The most common form of the disease is diabetic retinopathy which is associated with damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina. This condition can progress through four stages and eventually result in retinal detachment or permanent vision loss. Other forms of diabetic eye disease include Glaucoma, Cataracts, Blindness, etc. For early detection and treatment of such disease, it is necessary for affected individuals to undergo retinopathy screening and taking proper care of oneself.
Glaucoma is generally defined as a disease affecting peripheral vision. Ageing patients are more prone to glaucoma but it can develop at any age. Optic nerve damage can lead to severe vision loss. The damage of the optic nerve is due to high intraocular pressure and if it is untreated then it will progress to vision loss with the initiation of unobserved blind spots at the edges of the visual field followed by tunnel vision and finally to blindness.
Often, raised blood glucose can damage the sensation in the feet, affecting blood circulation to the area without which there usually tends to be delay in healing of the cuts and sores. When these symptoms are kept untreated, various complications are likely to arise like foot ulcers, foot infections and foot deformation and might also lead to amputation. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to take proper care of the foot, undergo regular foot examinations and keep diabetes under control.
Research has shown that diabetes is linked to an increased risk for different forms of cancer. Cancers of the liver, pancreas, and endometrium are twice as likely to occur in diabetic people as those in non-diabetic people. Studies have focused more on the relationship between Type 2 Diabetes and Cancer, some of which have suggested that hyperinsulinemia might possibly promote the growth of tumors. Also, leading harmful lifestyles can also be attributed to the development of both diabetes and cancer. Making lifestyle changes and increasing awareness are some of the ways of reducing risks of cancer associated with diabetes.
Apart from the mentioned, there are numerous other complications which are caused by diabetes. It affects various organs of the body leading to their improper functioning. Diabetes can lead to development of the diseases of the Thyroid including Hashimoto's disease, Graves' disease, etc. Fibromyalgia is another condition which is linked to diabetes. Studies have also shown correlation between diabetes and impairment of hearing, lung diseases, various muscle conditions, fertility related issues, sexual dysfunction, etc. Uncontrolled blood glucose levels over a prolonged period can be accounted for the development of such numerous diabetic complications.
People with diabetes are more likely to develop skin problems which include bacterial and fungal infections, diabetic dermopathy, diabetic blisters, eruptive xanthomatosis, etc. Generally, because of high glucose levels they tend to have dry skin and less ability to ward off harmful bacteria. In both the conditions, risk of infection predominantly increases. Fortunately, majority of the skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if diagnosed early. Good skin care is essential. However, keeping diabetes well managed is the key to avoiding skin complications.
Diabetic emergencies are quite common in people with diabetes and are usually caused due to severe hypoglycemia, Diabetic ketoacidosis, HHS, infections and diabetic complications. Such emergencies are often characterized by a sudden manifestation of unexplained symptoms, like loss of consciousness, signs of a stroke, seizures, confusion, muscle weakness, signs of a heart attack, etc. These emergencies can even prove to be fatal if the patient receives delayed medical care. Hence appropriate and timely identification and management of diabetic emergencies might prove to be helpful in preventing such a situation.
It is always advisable to take up preventive measures for such a disease which brings about so many serious complications. Some of the measures include undertaking a balanced diet, doing regular exercise, making lifestyle changes and cutting down on harmful habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption. Adopting preventive measures for Pre-diabetes, which is a precursor to type 2 diabetes is also recommended. Diabetic medications are also helpful for lowering the risk of diabetes in patients for whom lifestyle interventions might not be enough.
Treatment strategy of diabetes aims at keeping blood glucose levels near to the normal range. This treatment should be specific to every individual depending on the type of diabetes one is having. While Type 1 diabetes is usually treated with insulin, Type 2 diabetes usually requires management with diet and exercise. A variety of anti-diabetic medication, insulin treatment, transplants, surgery and herbal remedies are available which should be coupled with planned diet, physical exercise and blood glucose screening for effectively treating diabetes.
A common form of treating people with diabetes is administering anti-diabetic drug. While insulin is the drug of choice for treating Type 1 diabetes, other classes of medicines like Sulphonylureas, Thiazolidinediones, Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors, etc. are used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. Some drugs act uniquely to keep diabetes under control while others manifest similar behaviour due to which they have been grouped into specific classes of anti-diabetic drugs. There are some drugs which can be used to treat both the types of Diabetes. These work in different ways to help keep a check on the blood sugar.
Also referred to as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), this procedure of treatment, which is not a part of standard medical care, have been found to be beneficial for many individuals with diabetes. Such treatments include Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Ayurvedic Medicine, Aromatherapy, relaxation therapy, etc. Some of these therapies aim at treating the body and the mind and are also helpful for relaxing and relieving stress. Additionally, such therapies help in mitigating nerve pain in individuals who have diabetic neuropathy.
Apart from prevention and treatment, it is extremely important to manage the condition of diabetes as efficiently as possible. Management of diabetes mainly aims to minimize the risk of long-term consequences associated with diabetes. It not only involves keeping a check on blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels but also focusing on modern approaches like exercise, dietary and lifestyle management often coupled with on-going blood glucose level monitoring. Besides this, self-management of diabetes is also very crucial for the proper adherence to dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Also termed as Syndrome X, metabolic syndrome refers to a group of conditions like increased blood pressure, blood sugar, greater waist circumference and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that occur together, thereby, enhancing the risk of developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Most commonly occurring symptoms include abdominal obesity, fatigue, insulin resistance, frequent urination, etc. Metabolic syndrome is usually brought about due to overweight, obesity and inactivity and can be reversed by being physically active, losing weight, having proper diet and making certain lifestyle changes.
One of the most important features of diabetes management is the self-management of diabetes which can be successfully achieved, and complications prevented with the help and support of the nursing team. Diabetes specialist nurses play a crucial role in screening diabetic persons, detecting early onset of diabetes, assessing nutritional needs of the patient, promoting self-management, providing prevention advice, spreading awareness on diabetes and providing health coaching. In this context, it is extremely necessary for nurses to be well educated, trained and skilled adequately to be able to proficiently deliver care, support self-management and provide advice to diabetic persons.
Diabetes is a serious condition which still doesn't have a cure which makes new research, treatment and management techniques a crucial necessity. Over the past years there have been considerable breakthroughs in understanding and preventing diabetic complications. While some research focuses on generating artificial pancreas or engineering insulin-producing beta cells, some other researches are directed towards finding newer and longer lasting drug molecules, devising more efficient diets and developing intensive treatment programs. Trends and advances on diabetes research is the need of the hour for bringing about excellent management of this serious life-threatening disease.
Millions of people are facing diabetes and trying all kinds for its cure such as diets, pills, and treatments to clear their mental fog, to boost energy and lose weight. Unfortunately, leads failure unless they learn how to heal the underlying Diabetes issues. Diabetes is the 7th Global issue that leads to death.
Annually on November 14 is celebrated as World Diabetes Day (WDD), which is led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). It was created in 1991 by IDF and the World Health Organization in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat posed by diabetes.
Number of people suffering from Diabetes disorders are rising each year. As reported by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 425 million in 2016, 1.6 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year.
1 in 3 adults aged over 18 years is overweight and 1 in 10 is obese. Around 60% of the population effected with Diabetes disorder are uncaring of the situation. Male & Female population is 5-6 times more likely to develop a Diabetes disorder.

Q: Using Parfor to create matrix from a vector I am new to Matlab and would appreciate any assistance possible!
I am running a simulation and so the results vary with each run of the simulation. I want to collect the results for analysis.
For example, during the first simulation run, the level of a plasma coagulation factor may vary over 5 hours as such:
R(1) = [1.0 0.98 0.86 0.96 0.89]
In the second run, the levels at each time period may be slightly different, eg.
R(2) = [1.0 0.95 0.96 0.89 0.86]
I would like to (perhaps by using the parfor function) to create a matrix eg.
R = [1.0 0.98 0.86 0.96 0.89
     1.0 0.95 0.96 0.89 0.86]
I have encountered problems ranging from "In an assignment  A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and I must be the same" to getting a matrix of zeros or ones (depending on what I use for the preallocation).
I will need the simulation to run about 10000 times in order to collect a meaningful amount of results.
Can anyone suggest how this might be achieved? A detailed guidance or (semi)complete code would be much appreciated for someone new to Matlab like me.
Thanks in advance!
This is my actual code, and as you can see, there are 4 variables that vary over 744 hours (31 days) which I would like to individually collect:
Iterations = 10000;
PGINR = zeros(Iterations, 744);
PGAmount = zeros(Iterations, 744);
CAINR = zeros(Iterations, 744);
CAAmount = zeros(Iterations, 744);

for iii = 1:Iterations
    [{PGINR(iii)}, {PGAmount(iii)}, {CAINR(iii)}, {CAAmount(iii)}] = ChineseTTRSimulationB();
end

filename = 'ChineseTTRSimulationResults.xlsx';
xlswrite(filename, PGINR, 2)
xlswrite(filename, PGAmount, 3)
xlswrite(filename, CAINR, 5)
xlswrite(filename, CAAmount, 6)

A: Are you looking for something like this?
I simplified a little bit your code for better understanding and added some dummy data, function.
main.m
Iterations  = 10;
PGINR       = zeros(Iterations, 2);
PGAmount    = zeros(Iterations, 2);

%fake data
x = rand(Iterations,1);
y = rand(Iterations,1);

parfor iii = 1:Iterations
    [PGINR(iii,:), PGAmount(iii,:)] = ChineseTTRSimulationB(x(iii), y(iii));
end

ChineseTTRSimulationB.m
function [PGINRi, PGAmounti] = ChineseTTRSimulationB(x,y)
    PGINRi       = [x + y, x];
    PGAmounti    = [x*y, y];
end

A: save each parfor-result in cells, and combine them later.
Iterations = 10000;
PGINR = cell(1, Iterations);
PGAmount = cell(1, Iterations);
CAINR = cell(1, Iterations);
CAAmount = cell(1, Iterations);

parfor i = 1:Iterations
    [PGINR{i}, PGAmount{i}, CAINR{i}, CAAmount{i}] = ChineseTTRSimulationB();
end

PGINR = cell2mat(PGINR); % 1x7440000 vector
%and so on...

None of us has the power to control everything that happens to us. One thing we know for sure is that God is always in control of the outcome when we place our confidence in Him.
Mothers, being resilient is not optional…it's mandatory.
It takes a whole lot of patience, loving yourself, and accepting that life has its ups and downs, and there's nothing you can do about it…so go ahead, own your story, and remind yourself that you're still a work in progress.
My weakness … I am a Mama Bear. My children are my world and even though they are grown…in my heart I still want them to be my babies. So I go between wanting them to be my babies and setting them free to discover their world.
You may have observed that my writings are inspirational. I enjoy bringing hope and encouraging others.
If I've walked the path, I'm going to write about it. If I'm learning, I'm going to write about it.
Every good mother thinks about her children day and night. She knows that each child is unique, have different strengths and abilities…but she loves all her children deeply.
Note well: Nothing gets past the devil's eyes. He is merciless … but God is merciful. When we don't know what to do, God knows what to do.
We all have felt sometime that we will not survive an unpleasant episode in our family …but somehow we did…so it had to be GOD.
God will never allow anything to get past His attention that will destroy our confidence in Him. It's FAITH in God's promises that keeps us going.
Our faith in God tells us that we don't know how we are getting from here to over there… but we are guaranteed that God knows.
● We must learn to roll with the punches.
● We cannot help a child if we are depleted and emotionally challenged…so rest when necessary.
● Great reminder – no one is perfect …so give yourself permission to learn from your mistakes.
● Focus on happy moments, and find joy in doing something for yourself.
… and, in the end … GOD!!!

Q: extract xml nodes as table with xmlstarlet I have a pretty simple but huge xml (more than 50.000 lines). I want to extract just one repeated node as table (ring). Take into account this is an example. The real file has more than 300 elements inside "ring" node, so I try to avoid to write command for extraction element by element if that is possible.
Here a little example
<xml>
<root>
  <ration>
    <ring>
      <id  value="1"/>
      <date  value="2021-01-01"/>
      <price  value="435"/>
    </ring>
  </ration>
</root>
<root>
  <ration>
    <ring>
      <id  value="14"/>
      <date  value="2021-02-01"/>
      <price  value="745"/>
    </ring>
  </ration>
</root>
</xml>

what I want to achieve is:
this xmlstarlet command is working and I get the proper result but now think on doing it 300 times (for every element I have to insert the call into the concat part). I need a more simple approach.
xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m '//root/ration/ring' -v "concat(id/@value,',',date/@value,',',price/@value)"  -n file.xml

id, date, price
1, 2021-01-01, 435
14, 2021-02-01, 745

A: It's been a while since you asked. Nevertheless...
xmlstarlet sel -T \
    -t -m '//root[1]/ration/ring/*[boolean(@value)]' \
    -v 'substring(", ", 1, 2*(position() != 1))' -v 'local-name()' -b -nl \
    -t -m '//root' -m 'ration/ring/*[boolean(@value)]' \
    -v 'substring(", ", 1, 2*(position() != 1))' -v '@value' -b -nl \
    file.xml

Output:
id, date, price
1, 2021-01-01, 435
14, 2021-02-01, 745

Template #1 emits the header, #2 the data. -m expressions #1 and #3 match child elements of ring having a @value attribute. Using -m and -b together does the trick. If @value is replaced with @* all attributes are selected; with a predicate such as @*[name()="value" or name()="otherval"] selection can be fine-tuned.
Separation of values takes more work in XSLT 1.0 than in 2.0: in this case a substring function call returns an empty string for the first value where position() != 1 is false (converted to number 0), and a 2-character string (comma and space) for the following where it is true (1).
By the way, tag / PI names beginning with xml in any lower/upper combination are reserved.

A few years ago, I was sitting in the room of the Salt Lake Temple where the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles meet once a week. I gazed up at the wall which faces the First Presidency, and there I observed portraits of each of the Presidents of the Church.
These are great men who never wavered, never faltered, and never failed. These are men of God. As I think of the modern-day prophets I have known and loved, I recall their lives, their attributes, and their inspired teachings.
President Heber J. Grant (1856–1945) was President of the Church when I was born. As I contemplate his life and teachings, I believe a trait President Grant always exemplified was that of persistence—persistence in those things which are good and noble.
President Joseph Fielding Smith (1876–1972), one of the Church's most prolific writers, had as a guiding principle in his life gospel scholarship. He read the scriptures unceasingly and was as familiar with the teachings and doctrines found within their pages as anyone I have ever known.
President Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) served as my stake president when I was a boy. A favorite quotation of his was "Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved."3 He encouraged the Saints to be in tune with, and responsive to, the whisperings of the Holy Ghost.
I believe a guiding principle in the life of President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985) would be dedication. He was completely, unequivocally dedicated to the Lord. He was also dedicated to living the gospel.
President Howard W. Hunter (1907–95) was one who always looked for the best in others. Ever was he courteous; ever was he humble. It was my privilege to serve as his Second Counselor.
President Gordon B. Hinckley taught us to do our best. He bore powerful testimony of the Savior and His mission. He taught us with love. Serving as his First Counselor was an honor and a blessing for me.
The Savior sends prophets because He loves us. During general conference this October, the General Authorities of the Church will again have the privilege of sharing His word. We approach this responsibility with great solemnity and humility.
How blessed we are that the restored Church of Jesus Christ is upon the earth and that the Church is founded upon the rock of revelation. Continuous revelation is the very lifeblood of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
May we prepare to receive the personal revelation that comes in abundance during general conference. May our hearts be filled with deep determination as we raise our hands to sustain living prophets and apostles. May we be enlightened, uplifted, comforted, and strengthened as we listen to their messages. And may we be ready to recommit ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ—His gospel and His work—and to live with renewed resolve in keeping His commandments and carrying out His will.
President Monson shares powerful lessons he learned from prophets before him. He also reminds us that "the Savior sends prophets because He loves us." In ministering to those you teach, you might discuss how prophets and apostles are signs of God's love for us. Consider sharing counsel from one of President Monson's past general conference addresses. Invite those you teach to prepare for general conference by reviewing talks that have particularly inspired them and helped them feel the Savior's love.

The longest conflict: Australia's climate security challenge | REPORT | June 2015
Australia's Climate Security
By Anand Kulkarni
Report launched by Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, former UK Government Climate & Energy Security Envoy, and Admiral Chris Barrie, former Chief of the Australian Defence Force.
CPD has released a report exploring Australia's preparedness for the coming security impacts of climate change, and examining how our defence force must adapt.
The Longest Conflict draws on extended interviews with senior military planners and security strategists in Australia and from around the world.
It finds that Australia is critically underprepared for a coming climate security crisis bound to have disproportionate impacts in Australia and in our immediate region.
Download the report here: The Longest Conflict
View the press release here: Climate change a national security threat to Australia
The Longest Conflict reveals our closest allies, the United States and United Kingdom, are taking climate security extremely seriously. Yet Australia's defence establishment has not developed a strategic framework addressing climate security. Nor do we have a robust, whole of government plan for climate change.
This is an unacceptable oversight for a country facing its own particular exposures to extreme weather and climate change, and whose peace and security will be significantly influenced by developments in a climate-changed Indo-Pacific region.
Asia will be the front line of climate change crises. Security and humanitarian risks from climate change in the Indo-Pacific are significantly higher than in other regions of the world.
More frequent extreme weather, climate-related displacement and the compounding effect of climate instability on competition over food, water and energy resources will pose real risks to human security and geopolitical stability.
But if prudent policy continues to be obstructed by fractious climate-change politics, our key military institutions and defence establishment will be unable to prepare effectively for a century-defining risk to our peace and security.
In launching the report, Rear Admiral Morisetti will emphasise that Australia's 21st-century defence capability will be incomplete without a comprehensive approach to climate security:
"The security environment is changing. The world around us is changing. Australia's defence strategy and operational plans need to reflect these changes."
The report outlines vital actions Australia's defence establishment can take now to manage climate security risks prudently.
As a starting point, the upcoming Defence White Paper must take this challenge seriously by laying out a roadmap for strategic action on climate security.
This should be followed by development of a Climate Security Strategy, an organisational shift to prioritise climate security across the civilian structure and the services, and commitments to enhance the effectiveness and preparedness of the Australian Defence Force (ADF). Australia should engage constructively with regional neighbours to address climate security and provide leadership to ensure interoperability among military forces for humanitarian and disaster relief.
The security implications of climate change are known, real and have begun. It is vital we prepare ourselves before a 'burning crisis' combining economic, security and environmental impacts exposes Australia's failure to act.

1. Council is required to develop a Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) in accordance with the Public Transport Management Act 2008 (PTMA). The RPTP will replace the Regional Passenger Transport Plan that was adopted in July 2008.
2. The RPTP will be developed to reflect the improvements and changes undertaken in the past few years with Council's contracted bus services and will focus on delivering a strategic direction for Council's public transport network with objectives, policies and methods to deliver this direction. It will also give effect to the Council's 10 Year Plan and is intended to deliver value for money.
3.4. Any other matter that the Council thinks fit.
4. The RPTP must be adopted by the full Council but its preparation can be delegated to the RTC.
5. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) provided useful guidelines for the development of the RPTP and these will be used in the development of the Plan for reference and guidance.
6. The PTMA requires consultation to be undertaken in two stages. The first stage must take place during the preparation of the draft Plan and is intended to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to provide input early on in the development of the Plan. The second stage takes place once the draft RPTP has been prepared.
7. The consultation requirements are met by stakeholder consultation in phase 2 and public consultation in phase 3.
8. The Project Sponsor is Paul Drury, Group Manager Corporate Services.
9. The Project Manager is Carol Gilbertson, Governance and Public Transport Manager and will be responsible for the day to day running of the project.
10. The RTC is now asked to provide names for membership of the Project Team. This should include representatives from the Territorial Authorities; Member(s) of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG); a representative from NZTA; any other party(s) the RTC deems appropriate.
11. Below is the proposed timeline for the preparation of the RPTP. Once the Project Team is formed a meeting will be held to discuss the initial stage in the development of the Plan. It is envisaged that the project team would meet in December, then again late January / early February.
12. Council is required to develop and produce a Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) in accordance with the Public Transport Management Act 2008 (PTMA), this Act also specifies that a special consultative process is to be followed.
1. Notes that a special consultative process will be followed for the development of the Regional Public Transport Plan, as specified in the PTMA.
2. Appoint members to the Project Team to develop the Public Transport Plan in line with the timeline presented and advised the Council of this membership.
2. The Regional Transport Committee (RTC) is established every three years by the incoming Regional Council (HBRC). The main role of the Committee is to prepare the Regional Land Transport Strategy (RLTS), the Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP) and the Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP). The Committee also considers any other issues related to land transport which has a regional impact.
3.4 Advocacy of land transport issues.
4. The Land Transport Management Act (LTMA) was enacted on 12 November 2003 and was significantly updated in 2008. The LTMA established the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) as the single crown entity combining the functions of Land Transport New Zealand and Transit New Zealand. The LTMA provides the legal framework for managing and funding land transport activities and provides for a Government Policy Statement on land transport funding (GPS). The Land Transport Management Amendment Act 2008 (LTMAA) was intended to update the 2003 legislation to provide a balanced and flexible funding framework for land transport. The purpose of the LTMAA is to achieve an affordable, integrated, safe, responsive and sustainable land transport system.
5. The New Zealand Transport Strategy (NZTS) is a government strategy. It is non-statutory, though it is given effect to by statutory documents such as the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding 2008.
6. In May 2009, the Government released an amendment to the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding (GPS) issued in 2008. The GPS was amended to reflect the current Government's main priorities of economic growth and productivity. The amended GPS ensures that the use of land transport funding supports the Governments land transport goals. Under the LTMAA, a RLTS must take into account the GPS and the RLTP must be consistent with the GPS.
7. In July 2010, the New Zealand Transport Agency released a Statement of Intent for the period of 2010-2013. This is an important document when considering funding applications as it defines the NZTA's strategic intent and immediate priorities. The Statement of Intent identifies four long-term goals for the transport sector which link the sector with the Government's overall goal to grow the New Zealand economy. In the short term the Government's priority is to invest in infrastructure, better regulation, better public services and road safety.
8. Every regional or unitary authority must establish a transport committee for its region and appoint a range of representatives (including those from the regional council, territorial authorities, the NZTA, one representing each of the five transport objectives and one from a cultural perspective).
9. The LTMAA requires that the RTC, on behalf of the Regional Council must prepare, and consult on, a regional land transport strategy (RLTS) to provide guidance on the land transport outcomes sought by the region. The RLTS must be produced every six years and cover a period of 30 years and it must contribute to the vision set out in the strategy. The RTC must also produce a regional land transport programme (RLTP). The RLTP is a three-yearly infrastructure and services proposal for funding that informs and gains funding from the National Land Transport Fund. The RLTP must be consistent with the RLTS.
10.4 determine whether any proposed activities should not be included in the programme.
12. To obtain Government transport funding - from the National Land Transport Fund, the RTC must ensure the activities are included in the RLTP. Councils also provide a local share of funding for local transport projects and services.
13. Passenger transport is a key component in the economic development and social wellbeing of Hawke's Bay. The purpose of the Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) is to provide guidance for the Regional Council in the provision of public passenger transport services by outlining the passenger transport needs of the region. The RPTP sets out the Council's objectives and policies that will address community needs, and the services required to meet those needs. In doing so, particular consideration is given to the needs of the transport disadvantaged. A new RPTP is being developed over the next year, and matters relating to this are covered in a separate paper on this agenda.
14. Council is required to make a decision in accordance with Part 6 Sub-Part 1, of the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements contained within this section of the Act in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only and no decision is to be made, the decision making provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 do not apply.
1. That the Committee receives the Regional Transport Committee Roles and Responsibilities report.
1. This agenda item sets out the likely work plan for the Committee over the next two years.
2.4. Preparation of the next three year Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP) to be completed by June 2012.
3. The broad timeline is shown in Attachment 1.
4. In addition, the NZTA has released its Statement of Intent 2010-2013. This document sets out an approach and course of action for the next three years that will contribute to the delivery of the governments land transport objectives and wider transport vision.
5. Over the next 24 months there will be work carried out by NZTA as a result of the Statement of Intent, which is likely to require reports back to the Committee, and the preparation of comments or submissions if an opportunity is provided. The NZTA has signalled a special interest in the improvement of the efficiency of freight movements which will include investing in the roading network for high productivity vehicles. Of special relevance to Hawke's Bay will be the trans-regional movements of freight across the central north island and between Napier and Gisborne, including coastal shipping.
6. NZTA work may also relate to Roads of National Significance, Vehicle Dimension Mass Regulation, improvement of the road safety system, improvement of the effectiveness of public transport and National Freight and Tourism Routes.
7. At various times, applications for variations to the RLTP may also be made.
8. Council is required to make a decision in accordance with Part 6 Sub-Part 1, of the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements contained within this section of the Act in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only and no decision is to be made, the decision making provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 do not apply.
1. That the Committee receives the report on the Regional Transport Committee Work Plan.
1. This agenda item provides the Committee with an update on public transport services, including trends since the previous update in September 2010. This report now contains standard patronage and revenue graphs which will be updated each month and provided to the Council and the Regional Transport Committee.
2. The overall performance of the bus service continues to be positive with good passenger growth and fare recovery levels over the last year. Due to this positive result over the past 18 months, a number of further improvements to the services are outlined below and are due to be implemented.
3. The following graph outlines total passenger numbers from October 2009 to October 2010. The average monthly passenger stats for this period were 431,744. The farebox recovery rate for January to October was 39.46%.
4. The following graph shows the total number of passengers from January 2009 to December 2009 with a comparison for January 2010 to October 2010. It is pleasing to see that every month during 2010 has seen an increase on the same month last year.
5. The graph below shows a comparison of revenue, from fares, for January to December 2009 and the same period during 2010. This graph reflects the increased patronage, as shown in the previous graph, and therefore an increase in fare collection when comparing 2010 figures to 2009.
6. Total capacity on Council's bus fleet is 102,620 seats, this graph shows the seat capacity utilised on a monthly basis, as a percentage from October 2009 – October 2010.
7. The following graph shows the farebox recovery trend (i.e the total amount of fares), as a percentage, for each month from October 2009 – October 2010. Again this shows a good result.
· Amend the timetable to add an additional trip at mid-day, and another afternoon service.
· Amend the timetable to provide an even spread of services throughout the day.
· Amend the timetable to provide a mid-day service and a more even spread of services throughout the afternoon.
· Amend the timetable to provide a better spread of services for Flaxmere with a later finish than at present.
· Amend the morning and afternoon services to address running time issues which currently cause some services to run late and provide an even spread of services throughout the day.
· A trial Sunday service will begin during the busy summer period commencing on Sunday, 9 January and will run through till 6 March 2011. This service will be run on a reduced timetable (similar to the service that the Saturday services commenced with a few years ago).
· The following graph shows the number of passengers each month who travelled using SuperGold cards on bus services from October 2009 – October 2010.
9. Work is continuing to reach an agreement between HBRC, Hastings District Council, Go Bus and K-Mart, to relocate the current K-Mart bus stop, due to ongoing safety and congestion problems at the current site.
10. Initial discussions are underway with staff at Hastings District Council to investigate re-routing bus services through the Nelson Park development and the design of the bus network through that area.
11. A replacement bus shelter was installed at Bledisloe Road, Maraenui. The shelter was funded by HBRC and will be maintained by Napier City Council. The new shelter was blessed by Maraenui Maori warden Huriana Lawrence.
12. Staff are working closely with the model communities team at Hastings District Council.
13. The annual goBay passenger survey was carried out from 1-13 November and the results will be available mid – late December.
14. It is pleasing to note that two schools have committed to undertaking the School Travel Plan programme in 2011; these schools are St Marys and Lucknow School.
15. HBRC's workplace travel plan is underway. Staff are currently being surveyed to identify current modes of transport to and from work.
16. Below is a table showing details of client numbers and expenditure to date for the 2010/11 financial year. The low number of new clients in September is due to applications not yet being processed while Margaret Carswell, the Total Mobility Co-ordinator assisted with Payroll functions during that month.
17. Council is required to make a decision in accordance with Part 6 Sub-Part 1, of the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements contained within this section of the Act in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only and no decision is to be made, the decision making provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 do not apply.
1. That the Regional Transport Committee receives the Public Transport Update and notes the improvements being made to Council's contracted bus services.
1. That the Regional Transport Committee receives the NZTA Regional Director's report.
The following commentary provides an update on specific actions assigned to NZTA in the Hawkes Bay RLTS.
NZTA is currently developing an at grade intersection solution which will provide an acceptable level of service for the next 15 years. NZTA is also maintaining regular contact with Napier City Council with respect to the development of the Prebenson Drive project.
This project is currently in the construction phase and is expected to be open to traffic by March 2011.
NZTA is currently in the early stages of scoping this project.
NZTA is currently progressing several passing lane projects, two of which are due to be constructed in this financial year, namely, Te Mahanga North and SH2 South of SH50 intersection. Corkscrew Gully north and south passing lanes are in the land acquisition and detailed design phase. Construction will be subject to funding. A landowner objection to Te Mahanga South passing lane has been received by the NZTA and an Environment Court hearing is pending.
NZTA is currently progressing the design of 11 of the 16 passing lane opportunities between Napier and Gisborne. 4 of the 16 are now substantially complete and construction will be subject to land acquisition and funding.
The Glengarry Stock Effluent site construction is currently on hold due to contractor performance issues, which is likely to result in NZTA engaging an alternative contractor to complete the works. The latest predicted completion date is now March 2011. The SH2 Wairoa Stock Effluent Facility requires regional agreement of funding prior to any further development.
NZTA continues to be an integral member of the SMTG (Stakeholder Management Technical Group) and have attended a number of meetings to resolve issues raised by the peer review. These issues are close to resolution and it is hoped that the Study can move on to Phase 3 in the New Year.
Delivery of the State Highway activities is generally running to plan with the two large projects in the Hawkes Bay Region, namely Matahorua Gorge and SH50A Southern Extension, expected to be open to traffic in March 2011. With reference to Appendix 1, it is evident that a number of projects included in the NLTP are no longer viable due to low BCRs.
Many NLTP projects are derived from relatively high level desk top assessments and on further geotechnical investigation or a better understanding of the costs and benefits, many projects are not developed beyond the investigation phase. This is an ongoing challenge for the NZTA and one which we are looking to analyse further and develop a more robust process for the future.
In terms of new construction projects, Te Mahanga North passing lane on SH2 and SH2 passing lane south of SH50 intersection are both due to be completed in this financial year.
The Hawkes Bay pavement renewal programme continues with an estimated renewal length of 13Km, due to be completed this financial year. Furthermore, other annual maintenance and renewal contracts will deliver network safety improvements, routine bridge repairs, emergency storm event recovery, scour protection and high stress surfacing.
Over the three month period from September to November 2010, NZTA approved funding for the Hawkes Bay Wider Region Transportion Study ($50,000 total cost, NZTA Share $37,500). This study is a review of the 2005 Rural Transport Study and will feed into the revision of the RLTS and RLTP scheduled to be approved by mid- 2012. The study will sit alongside the Heretaunga Plains Transportation Study review which is currently underway.
NZTA also approved a funding request from Hastings District Council to advance construction on the Taihape Road seal extension from year 3 to year 2. This request was in accordance with General Circular 10/01 "Advancing local authority works", which was sent to all Councils and key stakeholders earlier this year.
Progress in this region is tracking well against national project milestones.
· The Port of Napier route has now been cleared for loads up to 62T. Permit applications for this route are now being considered.
· VDM Working Group meeting was held to review High Productivity Motor Vehicle (HPMV) permit applications on the Port of Napier route.
· Funding for the State Highway portion of the study was confirmed in November and funding review for the local road component is underway.
· Ongoing structural analysis being completed on strategic VDM routes within each territorial authority in the region.
NZTA is working with MoT to identify key issues and trends to inform the development of the next GPS (2012-15). It is expected that development process will include engagment with key stakeholders such as regional transport committees.
MOT are seeking to ensure that the 2012 GPS is released with sufficent time to inform the development of the 2012-15 RLTPs and the NLTP.
MoT is leading the review of the LTMA, the scope of which includes possible changes to the function/role of regional alnd transport strategies and programmes, membership of RTCs, consultation and tolling provisions. An emerging issue is the degree of co-ordination with planning changes mooted in the RMA review.
The Streamlining Transport Investment project is working towards streamlining the transport planning, programming and funding allocation system, with the intent of improving customer service and reducing compliance costs. The project intends to move the NZTA from a focus on funding for outputs, towards investing for outcomes.
The Regional Partnerships and Planning Group (RPP) has reviewed its structure to ensure it is best placed to deliver on the streamlining project. RPP Managers have been established, with Lyndon Hammond appointed for the Central Region. RPP have merged the planning and investments teams and are currently recruiting a Planning and Funding Manager to be based in Palmerston North.
As the internal approach and programme for streamlining develops and is further refined we will look for additional opportunities to engage more widely with key stakeholders.
As noted in the June report, a state highway classification is being developed to contribute to aligning planning, investment, and operational activities for the network.
Classifying highways will indirectly influence funding decisions, and will assist in determining the priority of operational approaches and improvements on the state highway network.

Recently an Indiana University Bloomington computer security student, Christopher Soghoian, posted a custom boarding pass creator for Northwest Airlines on the internet. It was taken down almost immediately by the FBI. According to an article by Robert Vamosi, this points out flaws in airport authentication. The fact that the airlines and security rely on paper tickets (or boarding passes) with an id. But there is no way of knowing that the ticket is valid.
According to another article by Joris Evers, Chris has not been charged but there is an investigation whether he violated any federal laws. He never actually tried to use a fake boarding pass or even print one. All he did was write a PHP script.
Read Chris's blog about the situation here. There is also a link there to donate to his legal defence fund.
There are many issues in this situation and I have only touched the surface. I found many links to other articles about this security issue, and it is a big one too.

The Nightmare Room

Shia LaBeouf :wub: Even Stevens and MITM fan girl for life! Oh and I love how big the Justin section has got on here now.
I'm glad you like Shia LeBeouf. I'd never heard of him - until yesterday! Again Casperworld has some great scans from the episode he starred in. I noticed someone else in the pictures - the middle one on the DVD of course shows Tania Raymonde (!), of MITM Cynthia fame, and then there's Amanda Bynes (not shown), another Frankie connection from 'Big Fat Liar', who starred in another episode.
You not heard of the Transformers films?
Heard about Transformers, yes, but I don't watch those movies. It's not my age group! Same goes for Nickelodeon and stuff. In fact, I hardly watch American movies, commercial TV channels, rarely see sitcoms, so I was really surprised MITM got me hooked! I suppose it was the great camera work and the acting which struck when I was just zapping through channels, and I immediately recognized They Might Be Giants, who I've been a fan of for nearly 20 years now! I was working as a rock journalist back then, and I was doing some research into alternative rock, so that's how it all came together! So I'm actually quite surprised I'm working my way through mostly obsolete teenie fan sites to get hold of these pictures! It's a whole new world for me!

Everyday Health Lung & Respiratory Allergies
How to Avoid Hidden Allergens in Food
Knowing some other words for common food allergens can make it easier to identify ingredients that may cause a reaction.
By Jennifer Warner

A Health Condition That Could Cause Allergies

When is it important to know that albumin is a type of protein found in eggs? When you're looking for food ingredients that may contain food allergens.
Deciphering labels to recognize — and avoid — potential allergens in food can be tricky. But knowing what ingredient labels mean for food allergies is key to avoiding potentially dangerous reactions. Ingredients derived from common food allergens may be listed under many different names on the label, and they can be just as dangerous as the allergen itself in terms of causing allergic reactions.
"There are so many long words for food allergens, people don't know what half of them mean," said San Francisco-based nutritionist Sonya Angelone, RDN, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "You need to know what your food allergy is and look specifically for those words."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that food labels list all ingredients derived from the eight most common food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. But that doesn't mean the ingredient label will list the food allergen directly. Hidden food allergies for food ingredients can turn up almost anywhere. A veggie burger may list textured vegetable protein (TVP) as a main ingredient, for instance, but the label doesn't have to explain that TVP is made from soy.
"It's buyer beware," said Angelone. "If you have a health issue, then you have to be very careful, and the more processed food you eat, the more likely you are to have a problem at some point."
Here are some common ingredients that anyone with a food allergy should be aware of. Of course, no list is comprehensive, so people with food allergies should always check with their doctor for a list of ingredients specific to their food allergy.
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Peanuts
Commonly found in many Asian, African, and Indonesian dishes, peanuts are one of the most common food allergens.
Ingredients that may contain peanuts and should be avoided by those with peanut allergy include:
Artificial nuts
Beer nuts
Cold pressed peanut oil
Goobers
Nut meat
Nut pieces
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Egg
Egg allergies are especially common among children, and reactions can range from mild to severe. The whites of an egg contain the allergy-causing proteins, but people with egg allergies are advised to avoid all eggs because it's impossible to separate the yolk entirely from the white.
Egg proteins are often found in baked goods, vaccines, and other processed foods. Foods that contain any of these egg-derived ingredients should be avoided:
Albumin (also spelled albumen)
Lysozyme
Ovalbumin
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Dairy
Having a milk or dairy allergy is not the same as being lactose intolerant. In milk allergy, the immune system reacts to a specific protein in milk. People with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme necessary to break down lactose, a sugar found in milk. The immune system is not involved.
To avoid an allergic reaction, people with milk allergy should avoid foods with any of the following ingredients on the label:
Curds
Diacetyl
Lactalbumin
Llactoferrin
Tagatose
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Soy
Soybeans are used in a wide variety of processed foods in the United States, which makes it a common hidden food allergy ingredient. Soy is also found in many Asian and vegetarian foods and can appear under several different names.
People with soy allergy should avoid foods with the following soy-based ingredients:
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Gluten
It's important to differentiate between gluten and wheat sensitivities.
"Gluten is a subset of protein found in wheat," said Angelone. "If you're avoiding gluten, you are not going to get any wheat. But if you're avoiding wheat, you may get gluten because gluten is found in other grains."
Hidden sources of gluten on food labels include:
Food starches
Graham flour
Checking Food Labels for Allergens: Fish
People who are allergic to one type of fish, like salmon, may also be allergic to other types of fish. People with a fish allergy are usually advised to avoid all fish.
Besides watching for individual fish names on food labels, potentially hidden fish allergens to watch for include:
Imitation fish
Caesar salad and Caesar salad dressing
More Ways to Avoid Food Allergens
Angelone recommended that people with food allergies print out a list of all potential food allergens to carry with them when shopping. That way, you can refer to it when you're reading food labels for food allergies.
If scanning long lists has your head spinning, she also has some simpler advice to avoid hidden food allergies: Cook with fresh ingredients.
Eating fewer processed foods and cooking whole foods at home, she said, lowers the risk for exposure to hidden food allergens and cross contamination. "If you know what to do with fresh ingredients, it's not complicated to cook, and it's a lot simpler than reading food labels," Angelone said.

St Peter: Patronal Festival hymn
St Peter and St Paul: Patronal Festival hymn
St Peter, the leader of the Apostles, was martyred in Rome in around 64 AD. Originally he was called Simon, but Jesus gave him the Aramaic title Kepha, meaning 'Rock' (John 1:42). The Greek equivalent of this is 'Peter' in English. (1) According to tradition Peter asked to be crucified with his head downwards as he believed he was not worthy to suffer in the same way as his Lord and Master. (2)
St Paul was also martyred in Rome. He was beheaded because his dignity as a Roman citizen did not permit crucifixion. For centuries the Church has marked a joint feast day for St Peter and St Paul on 29 June. (3) The liturgical colour is red symbolising the blood of martyrs.
Images of St Peter in the catacombs, whether painted or worked in mosaic or engraved in silver or bronze, all show a full, strong face, with curly hair and a short beard. St Paul is depicted as having a thin face, with a long pointed beard and a slightly bald head. (4)

The aesthetic devices are a clear alternative to the metal brackets. Unlike traditional braces, these ones will not affect your smile. They have an attractive translucent look and comfortable design, which gives you all the self-belief you need to meet each day with a smile.
These braces are made of such materials as ceramics, plastic and in a similar way as traditional metal brackets. They have elastic ties and white metal ties to be used with these braces to help keep these devices less conspicuous.
Orthodontic treatment with sapphire braces is one of the most featured ones thanks to its high quality and aesthetics in orthodontia since they have excellent transparency properties. The sapphire provides the brackets with almost invisible color close to the hue of the teeth and remains like a transparent crystal throughout all the orthodontic treatment.
For those who do not want the orthodontic devices to be noticed in your smile, sapphire braces are a solution.
Combine aesthetics, efficiency and comfort.
Translucent and transparent like a crystal.
Adheres to a tooth surface and takes it color.
Don't interfere with talking and the accommodation period is short.
Sapphire is a one of the most beautiful precious stones. It is combined with zirconia powder to make the sapphire braces very aesthetical and almost invisible.
Until recently the porcelain brackets were in the first place among the cosmetic orthodontic treatments. These braces are white and are able to achieve an acceptable aesthetics with great comfort for a patient.

Date of Incident: September 5, 2015
Officer Involved: Chief Bronson Campbell
Department Involved: Valley Falls Police Department
Department Phone Number: 785-945-3434.
Department Email: Vfcitypolice@giantcomm.net
Valley falls, KS – I messaged my Facebook friend about six months ago, one message on 9/3/15 and another on 9/4/15, because she was harassing my family. I simply gave this person a piece of my mind and told them exactly what I thought of them. In no way did I threaten, or even call this person names, but they didn't like it so she called the cops. The first officer that came to my house said no crime has been committed and it's only harassment if they tell you to stop and you don't. They said just don't message this person again. I told him that I have no desire to message this person again and would like if they stopped contacting my family and I. Then, I voiced to that officer that I do not trust the Valley Falls Police Department because of something that happened four years ago. The officer stated ma'am everything is being recorded. I stated I didn't care and wished for this to be over with now. The officer told me that no crime has been committed and as long as this person hasn't told me to stop, I committed no crime. The officer agreed I had broken no law.
From that day when I agreed not to message her again, I never did. The next day, my husband dropped off my statement to Chief Bronson Campbell. The chief immediately started grilling him about what I said on the recording the other day. He was talking about me not trusting his department. My husband said don't worry about that she was just talking about a bad cop she dealt with four years ago. As soon as he said the words "bad cop," the chief started reading him his rights and acted as if he was putting him under arrest because he said something about a bad cop. Then, the chief kept trying to get my husband to write a written complaint on this cop from four years ago. My husband told him, no we do not want to write any complaint on anybody from four years ago, we just want to be left alone. I would only assume that this chief wanted him to write a written complaint because if you complain about an officer in written form and it's found to be not true this could be a felony. As we know, they investigate themselves so it will almost always be a false allegations against the officer.
After repeated attempts to try and get my husband to write a written complaint about an officer from four years ago, he kept grilling him about the person I messaged and basically interrogating him about everything that was said on the officers body cam recording the day before. Now mind you, my husband knows nothing about Facebook and told them so.
Two days later, I got a letter in the mail that Chief Bronson Campbell wrote a complaint to the district attorney to file charges on me for harassment by telecommunications device because he claimed my husband flagged him down and told him I was going to keep harassing this person on Facebook. My children's father never said that. This was in retaliation because I expressed my dislike for his department. Several days later, he sent an officer to my house to search every room and every closet because someone said I had a pitbull there. We told the officer before he came in that we had no pitbull here, but they still felt the need to look in every nook and cranny in my home and scare my children. I also heard a police scanner go off outside my bedroom window several weeks later. I did try to call the mayor and make a complaint as the chief did not tell the truth when he wrote his letter to the district attorney. His letter had stated that I would continue to harass this person on Facebook – this was not true. But the mayor was not concerned with my complaint against the chief. He was only concerned with me saying that his department was corrupt. He even told me that he would tell the district attorney that I said his department is corrupt. Apparently, the mayor is not concerned about his citizens – only his chief.
On February 3, 2016, the chief got a warrant to come to my house at 10pm with three police officers for little ole me and scare my children again. He had me arrested for these two Facebook messages from six months ago. Keep in mind, these two messages were just me telling this person a piece of my mind. I still do not trust the chief. This chief knows I'm an activist and I protest about police brutality and even go on many public internet forums and speak out against police misconduct and brutality. I also thought it was odd that on the same day they mailed the warrant, they arrested me at my home. I believe this was an intimidation and harassing measure that the chief used as retaliation against me. I have now spent $3,000 on a lawyer for my court date, which is coming up on March 7th. That amount still doesn't count the fines I may or may not get when I go to court for this bullshit charge of harassment by telecommunications device.
I would like to get my story out there, not only to show how one butt hurt chief can lie and forever change someone's life, but I also want to show the war on the poor in our court rooms. This will probably cost me $5,000 by the time I'm done, or more, but I am fortunate that I have the means to get a loan for the money. If I wouldn't have had the money to bail out, I would have had to sit in jail for 2 months before my scheduled court date. I haven't even been proved guilty yet. Not to mention, we are looking to sell our house because I do not think the harassment from this chief is over. I figure if I get the word out, maybe he will leave my family & I alone. Even my lawyer said the two messages just sounded like an upset mother. This chief's behavior is unpredictable, and he has two previous civil lawsuits against him, one in Enterprise, KS & another in Oklahoma. It seems like he has skipped around to several police departments – his wife even lives hundreds of miles away (I think he's having issues finding work close). In fact, when he left Enterprise, they dismantled the whole police department and no longer one. Times have especially been hard for my family – eight months before this incident, I was in a massive car accident & suffered 14 fractures causing me to be wheelchair-bound for months. Not only has this taken a financial toll on my family, but we have recently been told this may also jeopardize our chances of adopting.

Q: Closed subspace $F$ of a locally compact space is locally compact First of all a referece from "Topologia" by Marco Manetti

A topological space is locally compact if for any its point there exist a compact neighborhood.

So now we prove that "any closed subspace $F$ of a locally compact space $X$ is locally compact".
So let be $F$ a closed subspace of a locally compact space $X$ thus for any $x\in F$ there exist a compact neighborhood $U_x$ in $X$. So $U_x\cap F$ is a neighborhood of $x$ in $F$; then is a closed set in $U_x$ and so $U_x\cap F$ is compact in $U_x$. Since $U_x\cap F\subseteq U_x\subseteq X$ we can say that $U_x\cap F$ is compact in $X$ -read here- and since $U_x\cap F\subseteq F\subseteq X$ we can say that $U_x\cap F$ is compact in $F$ -read here-
Is my proof correct? Could someone help me, please?

A: $U_x\cap F$ is closed in the compact set $U_x$, and therefore it is compact (which is an intrinsic property).


It's not what you're expecting... but it's probably what you're craving.
It's the Super Bowl of fashion, also known as the Met Gala, and Bella Hadid is busily getting ready for the over-the-top glitzy bash. Now, if you remember what she wore last year, you'll know that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills daughter has to top a skin-tight, basically see-through catsuit this year. Obviously, she will... but first, she needs a snack.
In the hours leading up to the gala, Hadid took to Instagram to share what she's been up to "in a nutshell." And it looks like that nutshell includes video games, cheese, crust, and pepperoni.
The stunner also tagged her sister Gigi in a snap, which makes us think that both of Yolanda Hadid's girls are living out our dreams and spending their Monday afternoons knee-deep in pizza.
It looks like the Hadid sisters aren't the only ones among Anna Winour's chosen people to indulge in some pre-gala Italian food. Over on her Instagram stories, Kate Bosworth posted a snap of a buttery plate of pasta, with the caption "#MetPrep."
If that's how people prep for the ball, twist our arm: We're off to boil up some linguine before we ogle all the fashion photos online.
