GM Tech Center named national landmark
David Shepardson and Melissa Burden
Washington — The U.S. Interior Department and National Park Service named General Motors' Warren Technical Center a National Historic Landmark.
The Interior Department said the Warren Technical Center "is one of the most significant works of architect Eero Saarinen, who was among the most important modernist designers of the post-World War II period in the United States. The GM Tech Center marked Saarinen's emergence onto the national stage and was the first of his four influential suburban corporate campuses that represented a sea change in American business facilities. The GM campus represents Saarinen's work not just as a creator of buildings but also as the planner/designer of total environments."
The center is home to 19,000 employees and contractors.
Last month, the Tech Center was damaged significantly in flooding.
Shortly after the flood, Warren officials told The Detroit News that GM had reported an estimated $75 million in damage — about one-third of the city's total flood damage. It's possible the figure has shifted as GM has continued its assessments, but GM would not confirm the figure and said last week it does not plan to release its damage total.
Parts of the basements in the GM Design Center and Research and Development buildings had an estimated 6 to 7 feet of water due to the flood. An early estimate said more than 30 million gallons of water were pumped from basements and tunnels that connect buildings.
GM has said many archival items in basements at the Tech Center were destroyed.
GM is insured and insurance is expected to cover the majority of damages, GM spokesman Patrick Morrissey said. "Beyond that, we're not going to apply for any other assistance," he said.
Before his ouster as GM's CEO in 2009, Fritz Henderson proposed moving GM headquarters from Detroit's Renaissance Center to the Tech Center, arguing it would save money and symbolize a commitment by the company's leadership to be more hands-on.
Henderson proposed donating the iconic headquarters on the Detroit River to the city.
The White House even commissioned an outside analysis of the impact a move would have on Detroit property values, former auto czar Steve Rattner wrote in his 2010 memoir. The answer: an estimated "double-digit hit on already deflated real estate prices."
Former GM chairman Ed Whitacre said in his 2013 book that he found out about a planned move of many executives to Warren — even though the headquarters would remain in Detroit in name only — and vetoed it. Whitacre canceled the planned move of nearly all the company's workers from the Renaissance Center a week before it was to take place.
Last year, the Detroit Institute of Arts' "Detroit Industry" murals were designated as a National Historic Landmark.
The National Historic Landmarks Program, established in 1935, doesn't create any new legal protections for sites.

Q: ElseIf or Case Statement in VB.NET Are there any general performance guidlines for when to use a Case instead of a chain of ElseIf?
Please consider the following example...
        Dim lobjExample As Object = GetARandomDataTypeCrapExample()
        If lobjExample Is GetType(Boolean) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Byte) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Char) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Date) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Decimal) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(String) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Integer) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Double) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Long) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(SByte) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Short) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(Single) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(ULong) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(UInteger) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        ElseIf lobjExample Is GetType(UShort) Then
            ' Solve world hunger here
        Else
            ' Cannot solve world hunger
        End If

Would this be better suited as a case statement?

A: The VB.NET Select Case statement is very flexible.  Much more so than the equivalent C# switch keyword.  This is all rather intentional and part of the philosophy behind the languages.  Where VB.NET is a friendly to the programmer, C# is friendly to the machine.
The .NET Intermediate Language has a dedicated opcode to implement these kind of statements, Opcodes.Switch.  It will be jitted to a jump table at runtime, very fast with no if-then-else code if the jump table is "perfect" with all slots filled.
But it has a practical restriction, the jump table entries have to be know at compile-time.  Which works fine if your Case statements are constant expressions.  The kind that the C# compiler allows in the switch statement cases.  But that cannot be the value of Object.GetType(), the "type handle" is generated at runtime and will have a value that entirely depends on what has been jitted before.
So the VB.NET compiler does the programmer-friendly thing and translates your Select Case statement to a chain of If-Then-Else statements.  Exactly like the kind you have written by hand.  Use the Ildasm.exe tool to see this for yourself.
So don't cramp your style, it doesn't make a difference.  The only thing you'd really want to find out if a lookup table could make it faster.  A Dictionary(Of Type, Integer), now your Select Case statement will be very fast since it can use the optimized version.  But with the added cost of the Dictionary.  Only you care enough about it to check that.  Using real data is very important, synthetic tests tend to not properly test the number of If-Then tests that are needed.  The order the Case statements matter a great deal, the most likely match should be on top.
Perhaps notable is the upcoming Select Case TypeOf statement.  It is just syntax sugar, not perf.

For most of us, daily chores, such as shopping or housework, don't count towards your activity target. This is because your body doesn't work hard enough to get your heart rate up.
Set a time for physical activity and stick to it. You're more likely to find time to be active if you do it at the same time and on the same days each week.
Be active with your child. Take them to the swimming pool, or play in the garden or park.
Take up running – if you're just starting out, try the Getting running with Couch to 5K .
Improve your strength and flexibility with the Strength and Flex exercise plan.
Join a child-friendly gym. Find a class or club that allows children in or offers childcare during a workout.
Children don't need to get their daily target of 60 active minutes all in one go – they can do them in chunks of 10 minutes throughout the day.
Let your children help decide what to do. Children are more likely to participate in something if they're involved in picking it.
Have a disco in your lounge with your music. All you need are some great tunes and you and your children can have fun dancing anywhere. Read about Dance for fitness.
Have a splash – whether they're doing lengths of the pool or having a good splash about, children love playing in water. Find out more in Swimming for fitness.
Cycling is a great alternative to the car or bus. You don't even need to have somewhere to get to – just taking the children out for a bike ride is a fun activity.
Take up running – if you're just starting out, try the Getting running with Couch to 5K.
Get into shape with the Strength and Flex exercise plan, designed to increase your strength and flexibility.
Get your mates involved. You're more likely to keep active if you have fun and other people to enjoy yourself with.
Ask your parents if you can go to the gym with them or if there's a local community centre where you can exercise.
If you don't want to exercise outside on your own, buddy up with a friend, or use an exercise DVD.
Do some household chores. Although light tasks such as taking out the rubbish won't raise your heart rate, some heavy gardening or washing the car will count towards your daily activity target.
Walk over to someone's desk at work rather than calling them on the phone or sending an email.
Try to find different walks and alternate between them during the week.
Be active around the house – cooking, housework and walking while you're on the phone can help keep you mobile, although these activities won't count towards your weekly activity target.
Improve your strength, balance and flexibility with these Flexibility exercises.
Get into shape with the Strength and Flex exercise plan to increase strength and flexibility for beginners.
Conservation groups are a way to get involved in improving your local environment and being active at the same time.
Swimming, aqua aerobics and working out in water are ideal for older adults, because water reduces stress and strain on the body's joints. Find out more in Swimming for fitness.
If you can walk, there's no easier way to increase your activity levels. Try to include walking in your daily routine. Find a friend to walk with or join a walking group for some extra motivation.
Cycling – there are tricycles, quad cycles, recumbents, hand-powered bikes called handcycles, and power-assisted bicycles, all of which are alternatives for those unable to ride a regular bicycle.
Get moving with the Strength and Flex exercise plan to increase your strength and flexibility (not suitable for wheelchair users).
Split activity up throughout the day. You can achieve your target in bouts of 10 minutes or more. Talk to a health professional or ask an organisation for people with your impairment about what the best exercises are for you.
Low-impact exercises such as yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi have been adapted to suit the needs of people with different types of disabilities. Get advice first, however, especially if you have a physical impairment – exercises not suited to your impairment may be harmful.
Choose a gym from one of more than 400 Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) accredited gyms.
Swimming can feel quite liberating if you have a physical disability, as your body is mostly supported by the water. Many pools offer classes and sessions which cater specifically for disabled people.

Uriah's Wife and Potiphar's Wife
Tags: character, Christian living, Christian principles, David and Bathsheba, ethics, Joseph and Potiphar's wife, morals, temptation
One of the Lectionary readings for today is the story of what the paragraph header in one translation calls "David's Great Sin."
2 Samuel 11:1Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
2Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance. 3So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" 4David sent messengers and took her, and when she came to him, he lay with her
As it was read in the church we visited this morning, I couldn't help but think of the contrast between this story and the story of Joseph with Potiphar's wife.
Genesis 39:4Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his [Potiphar's] attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. 6So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph's care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate...
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, "Come to bed with me!" 8But he refused…
…11One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
You wouldn't know it by the classical art paintings shown at Wikipedia, but I'm sure in that time and place Potiphar's wife — whose name is never given — was in her day equally hot as Bathsheba, who by today's standards doesn't fare well in similar paintings either. Rather, there's something else going on here; we ascribe Joseph's refusal of the woman's seduction to his character whereas we look at David's actions as showing a lack of character.
Joseph was doing his job. While today leaders — Christian or otherwise — are advised not to put themselves in a place where they are alone with a woman, he was after all where he was supposed to be. Responsibilities for Potipar's household was written into his job description.
Like Joseph, there are many times in my life where I can look back and say that I held my convictions and remained strong in the face of sexual temptation. But as a I grew older, I realized that if I was really strong, I wouldn't have put myself in those situations in the first place.
Many pastors and counselors who must meet with a person of the opposite sex often do so with their office door kept open, or meet in a public place. Temptation can happen at any time. Under the circumstances — and let's face it, without warning in the book of Genesis to read — Joseph did well.
David, on the other hand, was not where he was supposed to be. You could say his observing the woman on the roof was a chance accident, but the first verse in the text simply doesn't give us that option. He was at that time in the wrong place, and worse, he initiated the sexual encounter with Uriah's wife.
Where Joseph ran away from the temptation, David ran toward the temptation. Where Joseph did everything he could do to avoid a sinful situation, David engineered the circumstances to both commit adultery and attempt to cover it up.
When Potiphar's wife didn't appreciate having her advances spurned, she fabricated a story that ended up with Joseph in prison. Despite this, God was orchestrating a plan that would see him returned to the same position of power, or one even greater, that would save the nation and even save his own family.
It's a stretch, but because through the years in prison it came about that Potiphar learned that Joseph could interpret dreams, I can almost hear Joseph saying to Mrs. Potiphar what he would later say to his brothers,
Gen 50:20"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
David recognized his sin, and we believe his prayer of confession and his plea for God's mercy. But there were long-term consequences. The wound healed, but the scars remained.
Ask Yourself: Because temptation is everywhere, when I encounter it, am I going to be Dave or Joe?

NNPC, others may reconstruct federal roads in Ogun – Buhari
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Thursday, disclosed that the Federal Government is considering giving approval for the reconstruction of some federal roads in Ogun State by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company and other companies under tax credit scheme.
Buhari disclosed this during his visit to the state for the inauguration of five landmark projects undertaken by the administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
According to him, the roads being considered for reconstruction include the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta Expressway, Sango Otta-Idi-Iroko Expressway and the Sagamu-Ogijo road.
The projects inaugurated included the 42km Sagamu Interchange-Abeokuta dual carriageway, renamed 'President Muhammadu Buhari Expressway; the 14km Ijebu-Ode-Epe Expressway.
Responding to the request of Abiodun for a special status for Federal Government Infrastructural Funding, especially on roads, Buhari said Ogun State has more federal roads than any other state in the country.
He said the Federal Government was considering giving approval to the NNPC for the reconstruction of the Sagamu-Ogijo road under the tax credit scheme.
He said all federal roads in the state would begin to receive Federal Government's attention, adding that two major federal roads under construction, the Sagamu-Benin Expressway and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, would be inaugurated before the end of 2022.
Buhari said, "I have also listened to your requests to give priority attention to the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta and the Sango Otta-Idi Iroko roads respectively. Let me assure the people of Ogun State that these roads will receive Federal Government's attention.
"We are considering extending tax credit option for the reconstruction of these roads as we did for the 100km Sagamu-Interchange-Papalanto-Ilaro road. I will also consider approval of the reconstruction of Sagamu-Ogijo road by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company under tax credit scheme."
The President hailed the governor on the 14km Ijebu Ode-Mojoda-Epe Road, saying it had been reconstructed into a modern expressway by the state government.
According to him, the road will complement the Sagamu-Benin Expressway that the Federal Government is currently reconstructing and that will be inaugurated this year.
Buhari described Abiodun as the ''performing governor of Nigeria's Gateway State" and as a worthy example of ''promises made, promises kept."
"When state governors deliver impactful projects in consultation with stakeholders like we are witnessing in Ogun State, the trajectory of our national development will be enhanced," he said.
Abiodun, in his speech, said, "The choice of the five projects that we are commissioning today from our many landmark projects was a daunting task. These are just a few of our achievements.
"We have so much more to showcase. These selected few that Your Excellency will commission are however symbolic of the various types of projects across all sectors of our dear state's economy. And they are spread all through the three senatorial districts.
"Mr. President, I have the honour to report that our Administration in Ogun State has continued to fulfil all its promises to the people within the available means. It is noteworthy that all our projects have the inputs and are informed by the needs of the people as expressed by them at different engagement fora that we provide. This is because we anchor our 'Building our Future Together' agenda on inclusiveness, equity, fairness, transparency, accountability, justice, and obedience to the rule of law."

It's okay to cry a little.
It's been almost 20 years since the release of Nintendo's revolutionary console, the N64. With 64-Bit 3D mapping and games, it's miraculous just how influential and relevant this magnificent console is today. But, as technology changes exponentially and old hardware gets thrown in the back of the closet or, even worse, in the trash, it gets progressively harder to go back and relive good times.
With many of the best titles in video game history belonging to the N64, more and more gamers are finding their way back to emulators and other computer programs that let us play it all again. But, when your hand just doesn't feel uncomfortable enough, not inefficiently spaced off axis in some distorted, "how did they come up with this" way, then you need the N64 USB Controller. Now you can really go back and finish all of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, buzz through Super Mario 64, frustrate your friends by using Oddjob in one of the first real first-person shooters GoldenEye007, or even tear up as you battle friends in Super Smash Bros. It's all about going back to your roots, going back to a time when games were simpler and, as a result, that much more beautiful.

Harry Styles, the object of my 15-year-old self's affection, was born on Feb. 1, 1994. On Feb. 1, 2019, Rob Sheffield, the Rolling Stone writer whose words are the continual object of my amazement, wished Styles a happy birthday via a quote Tweet of a photo of Styles reading Sheffield's book Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time.
Since Sheffield tweeted the photo out for the world to see, the book has sold out on Amazon Prime. Alas, I sit here waiting for my used copy to arrive sometime between Thursday and Monday—an absolutely unbearable waiting period given my growing impatience due to my usually reliable Prime subscription.
I didn't order Love Is a Mix Tape because it looked so perfectly placed in Styles' hand, and I didn't order Love Is a Mix Tape because I hope that someday I will be sitting in a job interview with Rolling Stone talking about all the auxiliary books I read in college that were written by its staff—I already own Sheffield's Dreaming the Beatles, Joe Hagan's Sticky Fingers, and Lizzy Goodman's Meet Me in the Bathroom. I ordered Sheffield's book because the title immediately vocalized something that I had subconsciously known to be true my entire life.
Love is a mix tape. Well, for my generation, love is a Spotify playlist haphazardly strewn together in an airport lobby or painstakingly queued on a long road trip. No matter how the playlist enters this often harsh, seemingly loveless world, love is the words in a song that makes us pause and feel something. Love is the comfort of a beat or a melody that takes us home.
Whenever I hear "Home" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, I think of my sister. It might seem obvious: For roughly 18 years of my life, home literally was where she was. But even after I moved to Boston and she moved to Providence, I still feel that "home is wherever I'm with her," whether walking the cold streets of the North End on Thanksgiving night or sitting in the sand on our favorite beach 3,000 miles away. Even the warm beat is the sonic version of a fuzzy blanket, each stitch an acoustic guitar note or a folkish background "huh" shouted in synchrony.
Loving yourself is truly the prerequisite for learning to love another. It's a little less obvious why The Lumineers' "Slow It Down" has always been a self-love song for me: The lyrics act as a mournful account of a relationship breakdown from one lover to another, lamenting "And when it came to love / We were not good enough." Even so, the lyric "And when she stood she stood tall / She'll make a fool of you all" is the one that sticks in my head. Music can be a very personal experience, and the meaning of that song has always been one of recovery and growth for me. I've always preferred the live version of the song—partially because I accidentally bought the live version on iTunes when I was 14, but mostly because the rawness of the sound reminds me that imperfection is sometimes what makes something beautiful.
There is no shortage of songs about romantic love: U2's "With or Without You," Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire," Hozier's "Work Song," Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love," and Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" are some of the best in my humble, unexperienced opinion. There is one song that I have on reserve, much like the clothes that I don't yet have an occasion for but leave in the "Saved For Later" bin on the Urban Outfitters app. Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" is not only my grandparents' wedding song, but also a song that just holds so much weight. The idea of a force so strong it is likened to a river flowing "surely to the sea" is somewhat foreign to me, but Presley's dreamy ukulele strumming leads me to believe it's out there somewhere.
Art is not real in the sense that it is not what it claims to be. When walking through a museum, you cannot smell Van Gogh's bright "Sunflowers" or see the illumination of his "Starry Night" reflecting off your skin. But upon seeing either of the two paintings, you can recall a time when you got a waft of the fragrant sunflowers at Trader Joe's or saw the stars hanging over your head on a cloudless night. Art is but a depiction of something that is real or that is made of real things. Songs can't make you fall in love, but they can help you paint the picture of the time when you did.

Nasarawa on the path to sustainable development
December 7, 2021 Editorial IV Features 0
Governor Abdullahi Sule
Governor Abdullahi Sule is using every economic arsenal at his disposal to put the state on the throes of economic recovery. MOHAMMED YANGIDA reports.
Nasarawa state is fast becoming an investors' haven in the entire North-central geopolitical zone and the country at large.
In the views of analysts, the state needs people like Governor AbdullahiSule who understands how to structure businessesso that it can be seen clearly where the initiative began, the benefits and value additionfor the people gain from its projects.
The governor had stressed the resolve of his administration to diligently and selflessly serve the people through deliberate policies by executing programmes that would bring development to all the nooks and crannies of the state.
He stressed that the economy of the state and overall well-being of the people are the main thrusts of his administration.
Reforms so far
Some of the reforms being introduced by the governor include wooing investors into the state, creating enabling business environment, building new infrastructure, creating sound policies on fiscal responsibility and transparency with the view of turning around the state's economy and translate into more jobs for the indigenes.
He is equally determined to build a better future for the state as he continuously focuses on promoting industrialisation of the state in order to be prepared to receive beneficial investment and numerous strategies aimed at improving a comparative business environment to attract both domestic and foreign investments with a view to reducing unemployment in the state.
Investigation reveals that some of these projects are essentially futuristicas they take time to mature, but with such unparalleled commitments, the people of state stand to benefit from this untiring, dogged determination to better their lots.
Borrowed from other examples
To that extent, the governor is now looking forward to replicating a business ideaas done in other places so that majority of those industries would be created in the state by borrowing from what happened in Lagos state after the West African Gas Pipeline was taken from Escravosto go through Ghana,Togo and other countries.
"Infact, Lagos state was initially not a factor along the pipeline route, but investors brought up the idea of tapping the pipeline from Shagamu to Lagos and the result was that majority of industries using LFPO all converted to gas leading to the construction of another line into Lagos."
In 2019, the federal government awarded the contract for the construction of the gas pipeline from the southern part of the country to the north in which Nasarawa state is uniquely positioned to maximise the value of the AKK pipeline as well as business opportunities based on gas.
The National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC),Gas Aggression Company of Nigeria (GACN) andNasarawa state government have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)for the supply of gas to industries and investors in Nasarawa state, given its strategic position in the passage of the Ajaokuta, Kaduna,Kano (AKK) gas pipeline.
The group managing director (GMD) of the NNPC, MalamMeleKyari,explained that the whole idea about the federal government's gas master plan,is to make sure that the abundant gas resources available in the country is not only made available to every part of Nigeria, but that the country can also earn money from exportation of gas.
According to him, "The singing of the MoU became necessary because the AKK wouldpass through Nasarawa state which has the advantage to utilise the gas passing through its land."
He stressed that the NNPC would cooperate with Nasarawastate government to deliver value to the people of the state.
The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding was witnessed by the state governor, AbdullahiSule; NNPC group managing director, MalamMeleKyari; gas and power group chief executive officer NNPC, Mohammed Abdulkabir Ahmed, chief executive officer (CEO) MrBolaji Osunsanya, among others.
He said 90 percent of pipelines for the Ajaokuta-Kaduna, Kano AKK gas project have already been acquired with the complete pipelines expected to be delivered in January next year with enormous progress made laying the pipes from Warri all the way to Kano.
Speaking at the event, GACN managing director MrOlalekanOgunleye said that the collaboration between the Nasarawa state government, NNPC and GACN has established a clear framework through which investors and projects in the state would access to gas immediately.
"Obviously, NNPC management continues to promote the commercialisation of gas resources as a national economic development issue,while GACN and other NNPC subsidiaries such as NGMC, NGC have well-defined roles and responsibilities to generate concrete progress and value."
Governor Sule however appealed to the indigenes of the state to take advantage of opportunities in the gas value chain such as gas distribution, CNG stations, captive/embedded power generation,LPG marketing gas flare commercialisation, among others."
More MoU to put Nasarawa on sound footing
Meanwhile, Governor Sule has signed a separate joint venture agreements with three investors in agribusiness and retail.
This addition is geared towards transforming the economy of the state which would enhance the internal revenue generation.
The investors involved in the agreements are Vertmance Resources Ltd and Silvex International Ltd, for agribusiness, Barlow and Barrow International Ltd, for the establishment of retail and recreational centre in Karu estimated to cost N2bn and Oasotech and Design for cassava industrial plant in Azuba.
The governor therefore urged the investors to focus on key performance indicators for the projects in order to ensure strict adherence to the timeline to deliver the projects. He urged both parties involved in the joint venture to do their best in the area of implementation.
The highlight of the agreements includes the Karu Retail and Recreational Centre for the development of the Karu mall with Shoprite as an anchor tenant; the Azuba Cassava Processing Plant that would explore end-to-end value chain of cassava with focus on five products like ethanol, starch, high quality cassava flour, syrup sweetener and animal feeds.
Consequently, Sule urged those investors who ran out ofLafia, the state capital on account of unsteady power supply to come back and invest, saying that the Lafia-Akurba 330KVA substation is ready for commissioning.
He said with the substation already energised, all that remains is to schedule a date for the project to be commissioned.
He explained further that from the designs of the project, two lines were dedicated to Lafia the state capital with the substation designed to have a total of six lines- one line to Doma, Akwanga,Keana local government areas as well as Assakio community.
Investigation shows that if the potentials of the state are properly harnessed and utilizsed, the state could exist independent of monthly allocation from the federal government. This is the vision and mission of behind the development stride of Governor Abdullahi Sule.
For the record Sule's achievements and commitments so far includeKilema/Shinge road completed, Abuja street/Al-makura street completed, AliyuAkweDomaBanguet Hall completed, New Presidential Lodge completed, Erosion control unit behind Lafia Rice Mill completed, Karu Peninsula Estate completed, 350- capacity Lafia Terminal Bus Station at Bukasidi 98 percent completed.
The facility would comprise a terminal building, drivers lounge, public toilets,a petrol station,service yard,restaurants and ATM points, among others. The project was awarded at the cost of N1.2billion.
Also Karu bus terminal station 97 percent completed, SisiBankiFarinRuwa 15.5 kilometre road is under construction, AbuniKanje road is under construction, Obi Asssakio road is under construction, Agwarashi- Agaza Bridge is under construction, NasarawaEggon Modern market under construction.
Gudi Moro road under construction, Akwanga Neighborhood market under construction, Agwada township road under construction, MarabanUdege 25 km road under construction, AngoroBassa road under construction, Antaubridge under construction, among others.

An aggressive procedure is needed when the nerve inside of a tooth or the pulp inside of the tooth becomes infected. This infection often causes the individual a lot of pain and discomfort. The pain can come in the form of a toothache that occurs when pressure is applied to the infected tooth. It can also be experienced in the form of temperature sensitivity or swelling of the surrounding gums. To eliminate the symptoms of an infected root canal, a patient must have a surgical procedure. If the infection is not treated it can result in swelling of the mouth and face, bone loss and spreading the infection.
In the root canal procedure, the dentist may use local anesthesia to ensure the patient doesn't feel pain during the process. The first step in the procedure is drilling a hole in the affected tooth. After the hole is drilled, the infected pulp inside the tooth is filed away and flushed out. The dentist then puts a cap over the exposed area of the tooth. In a follow-up procedure, the cavity can be filled. In many instances, a root canal procedure can be costly. Also, recovery from the procedure can be painful.
How Can Preventing Cavities Stop Root Canals?
Did you know that root canals can be prevented? When it comes to these issues, prevention is the best medicine. Today, dentists have found that some of the top causes for infected teeth is deep decay in the tooth and large fillings. These holes in the tooth allow bacteria to enter the outer layers and can ultimately infect the pulp and nerves within. Because of this, preventing cavities can stop root canals.
Since preventing decay can help to avoid deeper infections, it important for individuals to know about cavity prevention. One step individuals can take in preventing cavities to stop root canals is regular checkups. In addition to their high-tech cleaning instruments, dentists can apply sealants to a patient's teeth. These sealants provide an extra layer of protection and play a significant role in how preventing decay can stop root canals. A decayed portion of the tooth can be filled before it becomes too large. Another step that individuals can take in preventing issues to fight root canals is flossing and brushing regularly. Drinking water also helps in these efforts. To recap the three habits of good dental health: regular flossing, brushing, and drinking water help to clean away bacteria and other substances that eat away at teeth.

Temptation awaits us next week, and it comes in the form of turkey, stuffing, sweet potato pie and just about anything else imaginable that can fit on the table. That's right, Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means the first of many celebrations filled with food and spirits that are characteristic of the holiday season. We know the drill and expect it every year, but try as we might, for many of us this means falling victim to the many opportunities to let our taste buds run the show while neglecting our health.
If this sounds at all familiar to you, you can take comfort in knowing that you're not alone. The holiday season is a dangerous time for weight control, as gatherings and feasts of all kinds take precedent over healthy eating and exercise. It all starts with Thanksgiving and the cornucopia of tasty and often calorie-filled treats presented to us. In fact, a typical Turkey Day dinner contains a whopping 4,500 calories, which is more than double most people's daily calorie needs.
Thanksgiving may only be one day, but it's also a chance to start a trend for the next few weeks of the holidays. Why not get the season started on the right foot by using self-control, practicing healthy eating habits and exercising regularly during this time and keeping it up into the New Year?
Regardless of how much willpower you have, there's no denying that the next few weeks will be tough. But if you create a plan to exercise regularly and approach the big feasts carefully, you're giving yourself a great chance of getting through the holidays without the extra pounds. For more information on weight control during the holidays or to schedule an appointment for any exercise guidance, contact Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates in Kings Mountain and Shelby, NC at 704-471-0001.
The extra hour of time that we all grow accustomed on a yearly basis to from late spring to early fall has is now a thing of the past. November 1st marked the end of Daylight Saving Time, and with that, the days have once again become strikingly shorter.
Though people go through this process every year, that doesn't mean it's not still difficult to deal with the adjustment. Shorter days with fewer hours of sunlight can have a dramatic impact on daily schedules, as all the tasks that normally need to get done have to somehow be condensed. The result is a strong feeling of being overwhelmed, which is particularly troubling for people that like to exercise outdoors when the sun is still out, since the abridged days make this very tough to accomplish.
In addition to the overwhelming feeling of having to get things done more quickly while still finding the time to squeeze in exercise are the actual psychological effects of shorter days. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that usually starts with the end of Daylight Saving Time and leads to depleted energy and moodiness. About 3% of Americans experience SAD every year, and another 15-20% are so affected by the lack of sunlight that they seek out some treatment.
The shorter days that we'll experience for the next few months can really wreak havoc on certain people's lives, but that doesn't mean you're powerless against these changes. Our Kings Mountain and Shelby physical therapists from Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates can help patients with an exercise plan or additional tips to keep you active during these shorter days ahead. Call us at 704-471-0001 to schedule an appointment or click here for more information.
Back pain is one of the most common physical ailments you can experience, and the likelihood of experiencing it at any point in your life is up to 80%. Though back pain can affect any region of the spine, in most cases the lower back is the area that tends to hurt the most. To complicate matters further, this type of back pain is usually considered nonspecific, which means no actual cause has been identified and it's not known what originally led to the pain.
Low back pain is most prevalent in people between the ages of 30-60, which is mainly a result of the aging process. In addition, there are some habits such as sitting for too long or not getting enough exercise that can also increase the chances of developing low back pain. Though some cases of low back pain may come and go, up to 10% of people eventually develop what's called chronic low back pain, which means it lasts for more than three months and is therefore a more serious concern.
For those familiar with it, low back pain can be a bothersome problem that can seriously interfere with your ability to perform normal daily tasks. Though the statistics suggest that many of us will experience low back pain at some point, that doesn't mean nothing can be done to reduce our chances. While certain factors like genetics are out of our control, other common causes can be modified by your actions and habits, and in effect you can lower your risk for developing low back pain.
Just because low back pain is so prevalent doesn't mean you're powerless to defend yourself against it. If you find many of these common causes of back pain to be present in your life, it's time that you take control and make changes to reduce your chances of developing it. If you're already experiencing low back pain or any other pain, Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates in Kings Mountain and Shelby, NC can address the problem and get you pain-free once again. Contact us at 704-471-0001 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Pumpkins and autumn. Autumn and pumpkins. The two are almost inseparable, and this time of year the bright orange globes start to become a fixture on nearly everyone's front porch, making their way into Halloween other general decorations as the fall season marches along. The only possible problem is that getting those pumpkins from one place to another requires a fair amount of lifting—and in some cases, picking them up from a patch—and if you don't take the proper precautions, the otherwise-innocent activity of pumpkin picking may go on to cause an injury.
Lifting and picking pumpkins may not sound very dangerous on the surface, and in most situations that may be true, but it's the large and heavy pumpkins you need to be concerned with. Pumpkins come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and though most generally weigh between 6-18 lbs., larger species can weigh up to 75 lbs. in extreme cases, and these plumper ones may pose a problem if not handled properly.
Aside from dropping a pumpkin on your foot or some other body part, the area with the biggest concern for injury is the lower back. The lower back is one of the most commonly injured areas of the body, and this is especially true when completing yard work and other tasks in and around the house. The lower back takes most of the brunt of force during lifting and twisting movements like picking up a pumpkin, and injury occurs when there is a disproportionate amount of motion between the lowest back segments and the rest of the spine.
Picking pumpkins and decorating your house this time of year should be strictly fun activities that add to the festiveness of fall. Follow these provided tips and don't let a back injury ruin your fun. For more assistance, or for any other pain you may be experiencing, our physical therapists in Shelby and Kings Mountain can help.

When it comes to clothing, as difficult as it may be, there comes a time when we need to say goodbye and part with certain items after a while. The same goes with running shoes, and this choice has more to do with your safety than purely cosmetic reasons. But you may be asking yourself: just when exactly is that time to replace your running shoes, and we are here to help you answer that question.
Running in old or worn-out shoes is a common cause of running injuries, and should be avoided at all costs. Over time, running shoes lose shock absorption, cushioning and stability. When you continue to run in worn-out shoes for a long time, it increases the stress and impact on joints throughout your lower leg, especially the knees and ankles.
Running injuries are common and difficult to avoid entirely, but wearing a pair of running shoes that provides sufficient support and stability is one step you can take to reduce this risk. Keep track of when it's time to replace your shoes and be sure you're purchasing the right type for your size and running habits. For any pain you may be experiencing from running or any other physical activities, our Cleveland Physical Therapists in Kings Mountain and Shelby, NC, where we have two convenient locations, can help. Contact us at 704-471-0001 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
If you're an athlete of any sort, you know how important movement is. Movement, in essence, is the foundation of our ability to perform at our highest possible level. For this reason, a dysfunctional movement pattern not only reduces this ability to perform at your best, but also increases your chances of experiencing an injury.
The good news is that movement patterns can be evaluated, modified and improved, and that's exactly what our new Athletic Development Program is designed to accomplish. Led by Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates staff members Dusty Quattlebaum, DPT and Jonathan Ahearn, DPT, who are both functional movement screen (FMS) certified, the Athletic Development Program explains what works, what doesn't work and why, and gets to the root of any problems you might be having before they lead to an injury.
Here's how the program works: first, physical therapists Dr. Quattlebaum and Dr. Ahearn screen each athlete using the FMS, which breaks down the specifics of the movements of their upper body, lower body and trunk. Based on this evaluation, they will look for any areas of deficit that may lead to pain, injury or overall dysfunction when performing their respective sport. Depending on the sport that the athlete participates in, they will also look for specific movement patterns that are necessary in that sport, and will help to ensure that they are being performed safely and correctly.
From there, Drs. Quattlebaum and Ahearn will create an individualized program that will address any issues with movement patterns while also improving athletic ability. The goal of the six-week program is to advance each participant's overall athletic capabilities, particularly focusing on strength, power, speed and agility. At the end of the program, each athlete is also given a home-exercise program that will allow them to continue on with their athletic training and development so they can carry on all their improvements beyond the span of the course.
If you're an athlete that's performing at a high intensity, your risk for injury is elevated, and that's why it's best to get evaluated to ensure that everything checks out and you're not executing any movements that increase this risk even more. Upon completing our program, you'll be more educated and physically prepared to excel in your respective sport as safely as possible.

Winter, and all the complications and disturbances that come with it, may feel like a distant memory now as we hit the hottest time of year. But getting caught up in the summer sun, we may tend to forget that there are also some dangers that come with the warm weather, too. High up on that list is dehydration, a common problem in summer.
Water accounts for approximately 60% of our body weight, and every cell, tissue and organ relies on it in order to function properly. Water is essential many important biological tasks, some of which include maintaining temperature, removing wastes and lubricating joints. Keeping the body hydrated helps the heart more easily pump blood through the blood vessels to muscles, and in turn, helps muscles work more efficiently.
Of the large amount of water in the body, only about 10% of it is in the bloodstream, and much of this water can be lost through sweating, our body's natural cooling mechanism. Exercising in any environment causes the body to sweat, and in warmer temperatures, more sweat is produced. Performing intense exercise in hot and humid conditions can lead to sweating up to three liters, which is more than half the water in our bloodstream.
Sweat evaporates quickly in dry weather, so only a small amount of sweat is needed to lower the body's temperature, but in humid conditions, it takes much longer to evaporate. This causes you to sweat more, and if you don't replenish the amount of water your body loses, it leads to dehydration. The main symptoms of dehydration are little or no urine (or urine that's darker in color than usual), dry mouth, intense thirst, confusion, nausea, sleepiness/fatigue, headaches and dizziness/lightheadedness.
Summer is a great time to get outdoors and savor the sun with your favorite exercise, but it also requires a bit of caution while doing so. Keep these pointers in mind throughout the summer and avoid any heat-related complications like dehydration. For any pain you may be experiencing, come into Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates in Kings Mountain and Shelby, NC for an evaluation. Call 704-471-0001 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
If you're a dedicated, competitive swimmer, then your season likely runs throughout the entire year. As the most popular low-impact fitness activity in the country, over one million Americans are involved in recreational or competitive swimming, and more than one third of them practice and compete all year long. Competitive swimming is definitively one of the best possible ways to stay fit all year, but it's also important to realize it carries with it a risk for injury. Fortunately, these injuries can be treated by our Cleveland physical therapists in Shelby and Kings Mountain, NC.
Swimming is regarded as an excellent form of physical activity, primarily because it strengthens multiple regions of the body while also improving flexibility and endurance. The lack of impact makes it a safe choice for avoiding lower-body injuries that are more common with land-based exercises, but its intense involvement of upper-body muscles increases the chances for overuse injuries. The risk for these types injuries is even greater in elite swimmers, who may train more than five miles per day. This puts lots of strain on joints from extreme repetitive motions and can lead to pain or injury.
Overuse injuries occur gradually over time and primarily result from fatigue and failure to adhere to proper stroke techniques. Unsurprisingly, about 90% of complaints from swimmers relate to their shoulders, and the most common injury overall is called swimmer's shoulder. More of a general term than a specific injury, swimmer's shoulder describes any shoulder pain that swimmers experience, but it's usually due to rotator cuff tendinitis, which is a group of muscles and tendons that surround and stabilize the shoulder. If left untreated, swimmer's shoulder can go on to cause more pain and other injuries that can interfere with a swimmer's overall performance.
Though the shoulder is by far the most common site for injury, some swimmers may also experience other types of injuries. Swimmers that primarily perform the breaststroke are prone to a breaststroker's knee, which describes knee pain from injuries to ligaments or tendons. Foot and ankle issues, hip pain and even back pain may also occur for some swimmers in certain circumstances.
Our physical therapists in Shelby and Kings Mountain, NC are experts in treating all types of sports-related injuries, including those experienced from swimming. For any pain you be feeling from swimming or any other activities, contact Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates at 704-471-0001 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Falls are the leading cause of injury for older Americans. As a result, they threaten seniors' safety and independence in major ways. Approximately one-third of Americans over the age of 65 falls each year, which results in more than 2.4 million injuries treated in emergency rooms. Most fractures among older adults are caused by falls, with over 95% of hip fractures resulting from a fall of some sort. Other common fractures include the spine, forearm, leg and ankle, and the risk for these increases even more when bone-weakening osteoporosis—also common in older adults—is present.
Older adults fall for a number of reasons, but they are often due to a combination of internal and external factors. Poor vision and/or balance in an environment with bad lighting, bad footing or slippery surfaces can be a recipe for a fall. Environmental hazards are responsible for at least one-third of all falls, both in and out of the house.
When a fall does occur, many people unfortunately go on to develop an even greater fear of falling, even if they're not injured. This can cause them to limit their activities, which leads to reduced mobility and loss of physical fitness. Worst of all, this process can become a vicious cycle that actually increases the risk for falling rather than lowering it.
These are just a few of the many adjustments you can make to reduce the risk for a fall. By taking charge and making necessary changes, you won't have to live with the fear of falling and can go about your day feeling much more confident. For more guidance on how to prevent a fall, or for any other aches or pains you may be experiencing, Cleveland Physical Therapy Associates in Kings Mountain and Shelby, NC is here to help. Contact us at 704-471-0001 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Q: JQuery issue with ID selectors? I'm working on a project that allows for text boxes to be added and removed by a user. I've structured my code so that when the general add button is pressed, it creates a text box as well as a delete button for that particular text box.
My problem is that the delete button only works for the first text box, and for the rest of the text box, the JQuery selector doesn't even register that the delete button is being pressed let alone delete it.
Do you have any recommendations? I've included screenshots of code here.
HTML code.
JQuery code.

A: Since the elements are being added dynamically - you need to look at event delegation and use a higher selector for example - if you are appending the elements into a div with the id of 'parentWrapper' - you can then access the click event on the button by delegating it from the parent element. Note that I am assuming that the delete button has a class of 'deleteButton' for this example.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#addRow').click(function(){
    var index = $('.added').length+1 ;
    $('#parentWrapper').append('
Added Row ' + index + ' <button type="button" class="deleteButton">delete</button>
')
    })

  $('#parentWrapper').on('click','.deleteButton',function(){
    $(this).parent().remove();
  });
});
.added{margin-bottom:15px}

<button type ="button" id="addRow">click to Add a row</button>

Know the Limits of Liability Insurance
By Glen M. Darbyshire
Trucks are essential to America's freight transportation, moving the vast majority of goods and produce from factory and farm to warehouses, to retailers, and to offices and homes. Our national economy depends on trucks to deliver 10 billion tons of freight every year, which is 70 percent of all domestic freight. There are more than one million registered motor carriers, including large private fleets and individual owner-operators. If trucks stop, America stops.
Given this massive volume of freight hauling, and the fact that nearly all of this freight is transported without accident, it is remarkable that heavy truck operators are so quickly and unconditionally criticized when the topic is highway safety. Of course, the most tragic trucking accidents generate the most publicity, and at times the criticism is well-founded. For the victims in these accidents, unfortunately, the effects of the accidents cannot be reversed, and their losses are compensated only through our court system and provisions for liability insurance.
In 1935, the federal government first set regulations for interstate motor carriers that require "security for the protection of the public." For most carriers, this security is provided through the purchase of insurance to cover highway accidents. In 1985, the required minimum coverage amount for this insurance was set at $750,000 for a typical tractor-trailer operator. Some of the larger trucking companies buy more, but nearly 70 percent of trucks on the road today are covered by $1 million or less in liability insurance.
Remarkably, the required minimum "security" has not been increased since 1985. Meanwhile, the costs of medical care nationwide, including for those injured in motor vehicle accidents, have gone up more than 400 percent. If the "security" requirements had kept up with inflation in medical costs, truckers today would be required to have at least $3 million in insurance coverage per accident. This would impose a major annual cost on the majority of truckers and would put some of them out of business unless the amounts charged to move the nation's freight were also increased. And that would lead to increases in the cost of the transported goods and produce at each stage in the supply chain. Simply put, the price of groceries would go up.
With increasing frequency, trucking accidents are generating headlines that suggest lawyers and juries are valuing claims against truckers at historically high numbers. It is fair to debate whether these awards and settlements have been excessive, but there can be no dispute that they have exceeded the minimum insurance coverage that most trucking companies carry. The result is highway roulette. Some crash victims are able to collect to the full extent of their injuries, while others are not, depending on how much insurance has been purchased by the trucking company and whether that company has any additional assets of value. It is rare luck when the (unlucky) crash victim is injured by a truck that has more than the minimum required insurance.
The bottom line is that, in major trucking accidents where the truck driver is at fault, the government's failure to increase the minimum security requirement has shifted much of the costs of those accidents from the trucking company and its insurer to those who have the misfortune of being injured, while the rest of us pay less for the goods and produce we consume. Recent changes in national health care programs (under the Affordable Care Act) may pick up some of the medical costs not covered by trucking insurance, but this, too, is a shift away from making the trucking company incur the cost directly through having to purchase additional insurance coverage before the accident.
Raising the minimum insurance requirement would reduce the exporting of accident costs onto crash victims and taxpayers at large, and it would remove the marginally capitalized (and potentially unsafe) carriers from the industry. The increased cost of insurance would also incentivize the remaining carriers to improve driver safety and thereby likely reduce the number of crashes industry-wide. The image of truckers would improve to fit the reality that the vast majority of them are exceptionally safe operators.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has been considering a proposal to increase the minimum insurance requirements for over a year, and several thousand comments have been submitted to the agency for and against this initiative. The outcome of this pending rulemaking is impossible to predict.
In the meantime, for the responsible trucking company, serious consideration should be given to reviewing insurance coverages and purchasing more than the minimum required. As headlines report larger jury awards and settlements, the minimum requirements are becoming even more glaringly inadequate to protect not only the motoring public but also the trucking company itself, its investment in equipment, and in the families of its truck drivers who depend on the success of that company. Reviewing insurance policies with experienced insurance agents and trusted legal counsel, and adjusting coverages as needed, will serve to protect both the business and the public at large.

An active member of the White Rose non-violent resistance group, Sophie Scholl, was born in 1921 in Forchtenberg in Baden-Wurttemberg to Robert and Magderena Scholl as the fourth child and third daughter. Her father, Robert, was the town mayor when she was born. Although the time when her siblings were raised was tough during World War l, her father made enough money for his family to live in a degree of comfort. Robert was working for a Red Cross military hospital's ambulance corps when he met his wife who was a nurse there.
In 1930, her family left Forchtenberg and moved to the city of Ulm after her father lost the mayoral re-election and found a new job in Ulm. There, Sophie attended the Girls Public School where she underwent changes when her school books and curriculum were altered to Nazi-approved ones. She joined the Young Girls League and then joined the Bund Deutscher Madel (BDM) which was a League of German Girls. There, she moved up the ranks of Squad Leader. Although she joined the Hitler Youth movement, she had some close Jewish friends from school and she often invited them to her home.
In 1935, Nuremberg Laws were announced and her Jewish friends were facing many restrictions such as being forbidden to go to swimming pools or movie theatres, and being forced to leave the Girls Public School and attend a separate school. This law sowed a seed of doubt in her mind and angered her.
In 1940, she graduated from school and became a kindergarten teacher. The reason why she wanted to be a kindergarten teacher was that she loved young kids, but she also didn't want to join the National Labour Service. However, her plan didn't work and she had to go to six-months service in the auxiliary war service as a nursery teacher. Her successful work lead her to go to university. In 1942, she got into the University of Munich as a student of Philosophy and Biology. There, she met some friends of her brother, Hans, who studied medicine in the same university. Later, the group became the White Rose.
Her critical views toward Hitler became bigger when her father was arrested after he pointed out Hitler's wrongdoing. Her brother and his several medical students had found the White Rose movement and Sophie joined to help them distributing anti-Nazi political resistance flyers throughout the university. In 1943, Sophie and Hans left their flyers in the university. When they went back for remaining flyers, they were arrested and brought to the Gestapo. Sophie, her brother Hans, and his friends were found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. Her execution took place a few hours after her trial had ended.
Sophie's story spread out by Else Gebel, who was also a political prisoner sharing the same cell with Sophie and they spent Sophie's last moments of life together. Her story of the final days of Sophie has been made into two movies.
In 1999, Sophie School was selected as "Woman of the Century" by Brigette magazine. Sophie and Hans Scholl were voted as the fourth place in a telephone poll of Greatest Germans.

Antlers Guard Station Cabin
Wallowa Whitman National Forest
Antlers Guard Station was built in 1935 for the fire crews who patrolled Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The Forest Roads were not yet well developed, and it was impractical for crews to travel daily between the remote parts of the forest and the ranger station.

Ca l'Arcís és una de les masies històriques a Bigues (poble del Vallès). Era al Rieral de Bigues, al peu de la carretera BP-1432, a la zona del poble antic de Bigues on hi havia una certa concentració de masies. Des de mitjan segle XX a l'entorn de Ca l'Arcís s'anà urbanitzant el Rieral, de manera que aquesta masia, que feia de taverna i d'hostal, es va anar convertint en el centre neuràlgic del poble: taverna popular, amb sala de festes i teatre. El 2010 la seva sala d'actes continua essent l'únic local habilitat per a fer teatre existent a Bigues. Tant el bar-restaurant de Ca l'Arcís com la Sala Arcís estan catalogats com a Element d'interès municipal per l'ajuntament de Bigues i Riells.

Alaskan Economy

Who is Netcracker?
How does a Russian tech firm that is wholly owned by a Japanese trillion dollar corporation (NEC) wind up with so many top contracts in the U.S.?
Netcracker who has its U.S. headquarters office in Massachusetts is also currently based out of Moscow in an old style communist looking building.
This software tech giant was first noticed by Alaskans when a major telecom company (GCI) was switching to Netcracker operating systems after the corporate sell out of GCI to Liberty Ventures Group from Colorado which is a subsidiary of Qurate Retail Group.
GCI was purchased for over 1 billion dollars.
Shortly after it was announced that Netcracker would be overhauling GCI's operating systems in Alaska.
It turns out Netcracker was reported by a government "whistle-blower" for not using programmers with proper clearance to design and implement classified operating systems at the Pentagon in D.C.
Allegedly, Netcracker was allowing its Russian Counterparts to complete the sensitive contract.
This was troubling in light of the "Russian Facebook Scandal" involving the election of Donald Trump as president.
Why are government contracts and major telecom companies in the U.S. allowing Netcracker to "out source" Russian Nationals to create sensitive IT programs that may contain private data?
After the recent sanctions and closing of several Russian embassies, should we allow "business as usual" for Netcracker after all the signs point to Russian Nationals were meddling in our last presidential election through fake accounts on FB?
What are the future security risks for thousands of Alaskans who are currently GCI customers?
What is Netcracker's current position with the Russian Government and why are they allowed to operate 13 training facilities throughout Russia and Ukraine?
Are there no "domestic companies" left in the U.S. that are capable of these sensitive IT contracts?
What is the future of security risks in America as many IT companies globalize through accusations and government agencies continue to "out source" our sensitive operating systems to foreign tech giants?
It appears no charges will result from the breech of clearance at the Pentagon.

Alaskan Sled Dogs
The sport of mushing has undergone many negative changes over the last 40 years in Alaska. Much of the new commercial paradigm is a result of the Iditarod Race culture that has developed with the help of Joe Reddington who arrived in Alaska from Pennsylvania. Joe would go on to become a sort of "demigod" for young mushers and handlers arriving in the Arctic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Redington
The current environment for mushers looking to compete in the Iditarod Race includes: a Dog Lot with 50 to 100 sled dogs tethered on chains…a Dog Truck complete with crate like boxes (sometimes with 2 large dogs jammed into each compartment as seen in the video above) and a rigorous training routine that begins in the fall daily with ATV's and about 20 dogs tethered to a gang line in front of them pulling around 20 miles a day to start.
The dog yards are very "Spartan" and usually have a small plywood box or plastic barrel dedicated to each Husky for shelter.
This current culture is not sustainable or humane for sled dogs born into this lifestyle of which they have no choice. The only time the dogs are allowed off of the chains is to run in harness and they must pull a heavy ATV, Cart or Sled. These animals are not allowed to socialize or touch their teammates which are usually brothers and sisters from the same litter.
Older dogs that cannot perform to the high competitive level of their younger teammates are left on the chain while younger dogs are out training or are "Culled" to make way for growing puppies in the dog lot.
Surprisingly this dog racing culture has many corporate sponsors which support it.
http://iditarod.com/race/sponsors/
Most of the mushers and dog lots are also independently sponsored as well with corporate sponsorships that may be as high as $20,000 a year per musher and include many companies that are located in America.
Many spectators and fans only see this "Wag the Dog" side to the Iditarod Race and do not see the behind the scene "kennels" or witness dogs out running between checkpoints for over 100 miles a day during their 1,000 mile race to Nome. The mushers themselves have called this brutal schedule the "tough pace".
It is typical that a race musher starts with 16 dogs and "drops" around half of the dogs at checkpoints along the way due to exhaustion, illness, disease and injuries.
Many dogs suffer gastric ulcers from the stress of being forced to run for so many days consecutively.
https://www.vetmed.vt.edu/alumni/where-are-they-now/17-davis.asp
Most veterinarians at the checkpoints leave the decision to keep a sore and tired dog in the race up to the individual musher themselves.
There are currently around 60 to 70 mushing teams which participate annually in this event…over 1,000 sled dogs leave the gate in Willow on the first Sunday of March each year.

Q: Change border color of Entry on focus I have a custom Entry for my Xamarin.Forms Android app. Currently, I'm using a Custom Renderer to give the Entry an oval shape with a border.
I also want to change the color of the Entry Border on focus and revert back to the original color on unfocus.
My custom Renderer is below:
public class EntryCellRenderer : EntryRenderer
{
    protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Entry> e)
    {
        base.OnElementChanged(e);
        var UIEntry = (e.NewElement != null) ? (EntryCell)e.NewElement : (EntryCell)e.OldElement;

        if (this.Control != null)
        {
            Control.Gravity = Android.Views.GravityFlags.CenterVertical;
            Control.SetPadding(30, 30, 30, 31);
            GradientDrawable gd = new GradientDrawable();
            gd.SetShape(ShapeType.Rectangle);

            var BackgroundColor = ColorHelper.FromHex(CoreTheme.COLOR_DEFAULT_CLEAR);
            var ColorRef = Android.Graphics.Color.Argb(
                (byte)(BackgroundColor.A * 255),
                (byte)(BackgroundColor.R * 255),
                (byte)(BackgroundColor.G * 255),
                (byte)(BackgroundColor.B * 255));

            gd.SetColor((int)ColorRef);

            UIEntry.BackgroundColor = Xamarin.Forms.Color.Transparent;
            gd.SetStroke(7, Android.Graphics.Color.LightGray);
            gd.SetCornerRadius(20.0f);
            Control.SetBackground(gd);

        }
    }
}

I'm not sure how to proceed with having a focus event for what I want to do above with this custom Entry.

A: In your OnElementChanged you can wire up an event to the Focused event:
e.NewElement.Unfocused += (sender, evt) =>
{
    // unfocused, set color
};
e.NewElement.Focused += (sender, evt) =>
{
    // focus, set color
};

FYI: The OnNativeFocusChanged would be the perfect place to do this with an override, but it is not public...
internal virtual void OnNativeFocusChanged(bool hasFocus)
{
}

A: You could wire up an Action to be run when ever your Focus event gets called. So you would add a new Action property to your custom EntryCell and also wire up the Focus:
public class CustomEntryCell : EntryCell {

    public Action OnFocusEventAction { get; set; }

    public CustomEntryCell() { Focused += OnFocused }

    private void OnFocused(object sender, FocusEventArgs focusEventArgs) { OnFocusEventAction?.Invoke(); }

    ///Or if you are not at C# 6 yet:
    //private void OnFocused(object sender, FocusEventArgs focusEventArgs) {
    //    Action action = OnFocusEventAction;
    //    if(action != null) { action.Invoke(); }
    //}
}

Then you Custom Renderer would assign something to the control's Action:
public class EntryCellRenderer : EntryRenderer {
    protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Entry> e) {
        ....
        UIEntry.OnFocusEventAction = () => //Your custom border color change code here
        ....
    }
}

Wrote this all out of memory and in this text box so if something does not work let me know and I will spend more time on it!

Cover 9@9: Falcons need to shake case of the exhibition season blues
Atlanta Falcons Blog
D. Orlando Ledbetter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Good morning! Welcome to the Cover 9@9 blog. It's our weekly list of nine things at 9 a.m. Wednesday that you need to know about the Atlanta Falcons.
1. Falcons need to shake exhibition season blues: Normally, you don't put a bit of stock in these exhibition games.
You look for individual performances and how players, who are coming back from injuries perform during their cameo appearances.
But when you lose nine straight exhibition games and are trying to bounce back from a 7-9 season, the exhibition season starts to take on some significance. The Falcons (0-1) will face the Miami Dolphins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
The Falcons last won an exhibition game on Sept. 1, 2016, against Jacksonville.
The Falcons had their exhibition opener against the Broncos slip away with 1:26 left on Thursday in Canton, Ohio.
After dropping all of their exhibition games in 2017 and 2018, Falcons got off to slow starts.
In 2017, they posted a 3-1 record in the first quarter of the season on the way to a 10-6 mark and a wildcard playoff berth. However, they barely escaped in Chicago as they needed a goal line stand to prevail over Mike Glennon and the Bears. In the third game they needed a 10-second run-off to escape a loss to Detroit. The 3-1 start could have very well been a 1-3 start. They pummeled Green Bay in Week Two and lost to Buffalo in week four when their short-yardage offense failed them.
Last season, after dropping all four exhibition games, the Falcons started the season 1-3 on the way to an injury-plagued 7-9 campaign.
In 2016, the Falcons went 3-1 in the exhibition season. They went 3-1 in the first quarter of the season before going 11-5 and reaching Super Bowl LI.
In 2015, the Falcons went 2-2 and started the first quarter of the season 4-0 before collapsing and finishing 8-8.
With a daunting schedule that starts with five teams — at Vikings, Eagles, at Colts, Titans and at Texans — the Falcons need to start fast. The Vikings finished 8-7-1 and Eagles, Colts, Titans and Texans all went to the playoffs last season.
The Falcons need to perform better in the exhibition season heading into what promising to be a rugged start to the 2019 campaign.
2. Julio Jones' mindset: Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones' foot injury was compared to the one he had going into the 2017 season by coach Dan Quinn on Sirius XM NFL radio.
.@AtlantaFalcons HC Dan Quinn tells us that Julio Jones absence from practice is more about his foot than his contract
"He's close.....if we were just doing straight ahead stuff and some change of direction, he'd be good" #RiseUp pic.twitter.com/4UQeaJiPVB
— SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) August 5, 2019
In 2017, Jones went on to play in all 18 games and caught 106 passes for 1, 639 yards and four touchdowns.
Jones will not play in the exhibition season.
"That's the ultimate goal, to go into the season healthy," Jones told reporters on Tuesday. "That's really the main thing. You don't want to go into the season with a nagging injury or anything like that, where it's hindering you and your mind is somewhere else. I'm going into the season clear-minded, ready to play, ready to ball. I can help the team out."
3. Julio the OC: Jones likes the Falcons' offensive weaponry.
"With the weapons we have on offense, we just need to line up and beat people," Jones said. "We're really talented all around the board. From the running backs, quarterbacks, to the line, to the wide receivers, tight ends, we can really just line up. Just find the best matchup and work them.
"We don't have to trick anybody. You're going to know where I'm at on the field, you're going to know where Mo's (Mohamed Sanu) at, you're going to know where guys are at, you've just got to stop us."
4. Benkert to IR: Quarterback Kurt Benkert, who suffered a major toe injury against the Broncos on Thursday, was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.
The Falcons had high hopes for Benkert, who received a $60,000 signing bonus after going undrafted in 2018. He spent last season on the practice squad and the team wanted to see him play a lot this exhibition season.
He went down in the fourth quarter in the 14-10 loss to the Broncos in Canton, Ohio.
The Falcons signed quarterback Matt Sims to replace Benkert. Also, the Falcons added offensive guard Tommy Doles, 23, a former three-year starter at Northwestern.
5. Carpenter out: Falcons potential starting left guard James Carpenter, who has a hip flexor injury, will not play against the Dolphins.
"Carp, we'll hold him for this game," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. "He'll work hard and we'll see where we go into next week. Nothing long-term for him, which is good news. We'll see if he's able to play into next week. We'll take it kind of day by day with him."
6. McGary walking at practice: Falcons rookie right tackle Kaleb McGary was out walking at practice on Tuesday.
"Yep, you did (see him)," Quinn said. "It is good news. The doctors were pleased with the progress. As long as he keeps hitting the markers that will go, and it will keep being intermittent at different times, but they're pleased with where he's heading and where we go from here."
7. Injury report: Jones (foot), Carpenter (hip flexor) and rookie Kaleb McGary (heart ablation procedure) are out for the Miami game.
Middle linebacker Deion Jones (foot) continued to work on the side during practice.
Also injured are receiver Calvin Ridley (strained hamstring), defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman (groin), running back Marcus Green (hamstring) and linebacker Duke Riley (groin, hip flexor), left cornerback Desmond Trufant (back strain) and linebacker Foye Oluokun (oblique strain) are injured.
"It's always a balance and something we're looking at it every day," Quinn said. "When they can get the right work, we're going to do it. But when it's the time not to, we're not going to force the issue to where it could set them back longer, whether that's a strain or just coming back.
"If you think you're ready, let's take a day or two to see if he's really ready. Nothing to rush back into. We expect him to work really hard in the rehab process to return to play, but there's nothing that's going to be too quick."
8. Trufant update: The Falcons will be cautious with Trufant.
"He's been out two days," Quinn said. "He's had it before. I'm hopeful we'll get it turned. He was almost back to full today. We'll get him back soon. It's not a cause for concern. He's dealt with it before when it gets tight. Like anything, if it gets inflamed, how quick can you get rid of this? It's almost in the same time zone that it normally is."
9. Depth chart: Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is set to make his exhibition season debut against the Dolphins.
Here's the second official depth chart of the season (the team releasing it and that makes it official):

There's an analogy I use in class when we talk about CBD or cannabidiol, that wonderful popular non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. I like to say that it's like taking a vitamin C pill; good for you and ok, but eating the whole orange is way better. Same with cannabis! Currently there's a huge interest in CBD, which I think is great for getting people familiar with the healing properties of cannabis. But what kinda bugs me is that folks are missing out on all the other beneficial components of cannabis when they only focus on CBD. Now I know from teaching cooking with cannabis for years that some people are just plain scared of pot. I get it – years of propaganda has put fear in the hearts of many regarding the 'high'. I've had people worried about hallucinations or jumping out of windows….I've found the best way to combat fear is with information and hopefully experimentation. There have been wonderful folks in class who had a lot of fear about pot, but with a little reading up and playing around they're happy stoners now. I guess I'm saying CBD is great and better than nothing, but the whole plant is truly your friend!!
