The fact that this car I liked, you could read in our paper a trip to Jaguar Land Rover in the Austrian Alps . But what will not fit into the article, was impressed on me what this car left and the associated access and from JLR to customer . At the end of the trip I did not want to part with Discovery and friendliness thanks to automakers was lent to me on the weekend, for which they thank you very much .
With this year took place i minor facelift , which is not fundamentally different from the previous model. Hallmark are black taillights and trifles, which when in normal view even notice. Greater intervention in appearance are not desirable because of the clear direction given automakers. The majestic appearance of gives attention to the road and the other car stands out thanks to a subtle blue Loire Blue. Left the enhanced detail of the roof at the rear. In recent years, will increase diminished , but every centimeter counts in the interior.
Even though it was Discovery of the basic version , certainly not offended. Land Rover describes it more like a job, but you will find comfortable heated leather seats and many chrome accessories. For example, the dashboard is a half of plastic, which is good and nevrže, the second part is covered in leather, which you will find on the door. Driving position ergonomics is a nice , and all controls are easily accessible. Everything is clearly divided and in place. Speaking of different buttons, knobs and switches I have to commend the were taken from a sedan and you do not have to press with surgical precision. They are large and well controlled heavy gloves . It is the same with the driver's steering wheel, which fits well in the hand.
Practical are Two glove box at the bottom is a large storage space and can be found on the top USB and AUX output . Between the seats can be found under the armrest another big box , which can accommodate larger objects. Handy is the dividing cover for small items such as mobile phone or key. Multimedia devices is easy and intuitive. In the test speed and ease phone connection without manual , stand up no problem. His response might be faster, but over competing cars it is not essential. Audio system a high-quality speech .
Rear seat space is more than enough and even figures about two meters in height are not claustrophobic. Getting in will not make the problem even older people because of the height of the car. Trunk a capacity of 1260 l is possible with a simple folding rear seats increased up to 2558 l . Also, you can use it for another two full seats. Split rear doors with comfortable seating we've known from the Range Rover.
We tested Discovery had a three-liter six-cylinder engine with the designation TDV6 . It is the weaker of the two offered aggregates with power 211 hp , and a torque of 520 Nm providing car weighing 2508 kg good dynamics. Since it is possible for Discovery connect truck with cargo weighing up to 3,500 kilograms , I'd probably vote for a stronger variant of 255 horses. This is not to say that it would not make the engine tested. Its torque is sufficient, but more powerful engine is always welcome. Average consumption ranged around 10 l / 100 km , but it must be stressed that it was a catch the car that had traveled less than 3000 km , so that consumption would eventually dropped . Eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle on the steering wheel has a very smooth operation. Shifting can be recognized only by the tachometer. Absence plucking unwanted really surprised me . Works very well even at low speeds in the field and willingly cooperates s assistant for the descent down the hill .
Coexistence with the Land Rover Discovery very good is " Swiss knife in the English style ." Perhaps you will be interested in the price that starts at CZK 1,160,269 and ends at 1,736,955 (before you begin to choose equipment). If you feel the price is a little higher, I Discovery uncompromisingly defend . For your money because you get a versatile car that can handle all situations , which will meet on your travels. On the road ride is comfortable and keeps a lot of love even in the corners. In the field passes through the individual modes high snow Ford 70 cm deep trench (60 cm in the case of coil springs), exiting icy hill muddy trails , sandy plain, while electronic controlled Congress safely subdues descent that would otherwise fall sick.
I myself tried icy hill with potholes mud and snow-conquer myself, and probably would not end well. The interior is tough, practical and at first glance, well done. Thanks to the up to seven seats and a large luggage compartment is practical and diesel and economical . Moreover, it is representative and majestic as the woods and in front of the National Theater. Further, when buying any car Land Rover you will get a voucher for the Land Rover expirience where you instructors will show you all the car can do and how to correctly use (for your safety show only 70% of the potential but it also makes a big impression). The final verdict? I yearn to own .

A pediatric dentist has an additional two to three years of intensive, specialized training after dental school, which focuses on the oral health of the child from infancy through their teenage years. In addition to their medical training, the doctors study behavioral techniques designed to ensure that every patient - from the very young, to pre-teens, to teenagers - experience a smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable visit. The doctor is also well trained in guiding the dental growth and development of the child (and parent), while helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs.

Three Questions With Overlook's New And Former Advisory Board Chairs
Three Questions With Overlook's New & Former Advisory Board Chairs
April 2017, Summit, NJ – Frank Macioce, a well-known figure in Summit, was recently named chair of the Overlook Medical Center's Community Advisory Board, a group of individuals from the communities served by the medical center.
Macioce has served on the Community Advisory Board and the hospital's Community Health Committee since 2014. Previously, he served for six years on Summit's Common Council including two as Council President. There, he was known for his collaborative approach to problem solving. Prior to that he served on Summit's Zoning Board of Adjustment. He also serves on the boards of Summit Area Public Foundation, Summit Park Line Foundation, and HomeTowne Television and is a past trustee and Board Chair of Summit Speech School.
Macioce, a graduate of Purdue University and Vanderbilt University School of Law, was employed at Merrill Lynch for 30 years, serving as general counsel to various business units. He and his wife Helen are longtime Summit residents.
Macioce replaces outgoing chair Robert Mulcahy III. Mulcahy served for six and a half years on the Community Advisory Board, all as chairman. He had also served on the Community Advisory Board's board's finance committee. Mulcahy is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Atlantic Health System, Overlook's parent organization, where he has served for 14 years.
"I want to offer my thanks to (Overlook president) Alan Lieber and the staff at Overlook for the support I received during my six and a half years as board chair," Mulcahy said. "I'm pleased that Frank is the new chair. I think he brings everything that a community member could bring to an advisory board.
Mulcahy and Macioce were asked three questions about the Advisory Board's accomplishments and its priorities going forward. The following are their responses:
Bob Mulcahy:
Which of the Advisory Board's accomplishments are you proudest of?
As with the rest of Atlantic Health System, Overlook has come a long way as a leader in the field of health care. A few of the notable accomplishments I've been honored to be part of have been:
The development of the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute, which is today the premiere destination for experienced, cutting-edge care for everything from stroke to brain tumors to movement disorders not only in our area but throughout New Jersey
The expansion of the emergency department. That is where so many people in our communities first experience Overlook, so we strove to make sure that experience was the best it can be for our patients
The construction of the helipad. This is something that has already helped save and improve many lives. I am proud that Overlook and Atlantic Health System worked for so long to make this a reality, along with a responsible commitment to our community.
What was your guiding philosophy as board chair?
The quality of care delivered to the patient, always. Our primary purpose has been to improve the health of the people who come to us in body, mind and spirit. The quality of care that Overlook patients receive is terribly important to me as well as the manner in which we deliver that care.
What would you most like the community to know about Overlook?
I think that Overlook has become a fixture in Summit and the surrounding area. We are a leader in so many ways. So I think the community should know that they have something very special in their midst.
Frank Macioce:
What priorities do you foresee for the board in the near future?
The highest priority of the Community Advisory Board is to support Overlook Medical Center by providing community input that helps it address the health care needs of residents. To that end, we even updated the name of our group this year from just "Advisory Board," to "Community Advisory Board." The input of our community is vital to everything Overlook does, and needs to be reflected in every way.
Patient satisfaction, monitoring quality and addressing the most urgent needs identified by the Community Health Needs Assessment, will be at the top of our list of priorities in the future.
What will be your guiding philosophy as board chair?
Going back to the importance of community input, you need invested people to provide it on a regular basis. So it seems to be that broad participation of the Community Advisory Board members, both at Board meetings and through the Board's two committees, is essential for us to add value for Overlook. Therefore, inclusion and encouraging participation is my guiding philosophy, and something I intend to build on as chair.
I would like the community to know that Overlook is an excellent medical center that continually strives to be even more exceptional. In just the first few months of this year, Overlook has been recognized twice by Healthgrades, earning its prestigious Distinguished Hospital designation, as well as ranking as one of 'America's 100 Best Hospitals' for clinical excellence. It was also named as one of 2017 America's Best Hospitals for bariatric surgery, heart care, and was named one of America's Best Stroke Centers by the Women's Choice Award, a consumer rankings group. The hospital was also named one of America's Best Breast Centers for the second consecutive year. Beyond these accolades, I would like the community to regard Overlook as the trusted resource to help them live healthier.
Atlantic Health System, headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, is a leading non-profit, clinically integrated health care system comprised of Atlantic Medical Group with more than 900 physicians and multispecialty care providers, medical centers, rehabilitation and urgent care.

No one would have put up with this if someone did it to the Obama administration. That's for sure.

Riverton's Wildcat is UW's Most Outstanding Graduate
Article Updated:	May 15, 2020
Comments Off on Riverton's Wildcat is UW's Most Outstanding Graduate
Christie Wildcat has been named one of three top graduating seniors at the University of Wyoming. UW News Service PHoto
Of all that she has accomplished as a University of Wyoming undergraduate, Christie Wildcat, from Riverton, says having a statewide initiative supported by Gov. Mark Gordon proclaiming May 5 as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Day is her biggest achievement.
For her efforts, Wildcat, an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, is among three students to receive the Rosemarie Martha Spitaleri and Tobin Memorial Award, which recognizes UW's most outstanding graduates from the 2019-2020 undergraduate class.
The award is based on academic excellence and achievement; service to the university; participation and leadership in the community and campus activities; and citizenship qualities. Wildcat will graduate this semester as a triple major in Native American and indigenous studies, anthropology and political science. She has received numerous honors throughout her UW career, and will graduate with a 3.3 grade-point average.
The other top UW graduating award recipients are Leena Hornlein, from Gilbert, Ariz., and Laramie's Tessa Wittman.
At UW, Wildcat has strived to become a community leader and represent the university to the best of her ability.
"Triple majoring will give me the opportunity to explore multiple paths in life," she says. "I have taken on plenty of roles on campus as a leader for the recognized student organization Keepers of the Fire or a role as big as a national executive committee member."
Through her experiences, ranging from being a UW track and field athlete to her on-campus work and as an outside volunteer, Wildcat has taken these opportunities to educate and teach others about her Native culture and heritage.
"I hope to continue my involvement in all these activities and look forward to joining any other organizations or taking on opportunities UW has to offer, where I can spread more knowledge and awareness," she adds. "I take all these opportunities to educate and teach others about my culture, and to simply give back in one way or another."
As an example, Wildcat secured a position to work on digitizing records, working with Professor Emeritus Charles Reher on a tribal project.
Wildcat was a laboratory technician during the digitizing tribal project that saw the return of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribal materials from Reher's "Wind River Reservation Cultural Resource Protection Program." Reher was the Wind River Indian Reservation archaeologist for more than 25 years, based on a UW/Joint Business Council cooperative agreement.
"Christie has been employed by our department and by Coe Library Digital Collections, becoming an expert in several complex procedures for archiving and preserving technical archaeological reports, maps and other materials," Reher says. "During all our work and discussions together, I have been so amazed by her UW accomplishments. My word, she must be the most impressive and hardest working student I have ever met."
But, her most impressive personal accomplishment was to help write a proclamation for the state to recognize Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Day. She was the keynote speaker at Denver's Indigenous Peoples March last fall.
"All of these activities are a majority of what I do within the past few years here at the University of Wyoming," she says. "These opportunities have allowed me to have a large range of knowledge, as many of my peers have not had the opportunity to hear from someone who has grown up on a reservation or learn my native language."
A continuation of her work on her personal project to help others, Wildcat, earlier this year, was invited to be a part of the Senate File 8 bill signing by the governor. Information on missing or murdered indigenous people in Wyoming will improve under legislation that would better manage missing persons reports and potentially coordinate work between multiple jurisdictions.

Statewide Recounts
Statewide Recounts — Frequently Asked Questions
Who can request a recount?
Any registered California voter may request a recount of votes in a statewide contest. There is no provision in California law to require an "automatic recount" in any election contest. (California Elections Code §§ 359, 15621; California Code of Regulations § 20812(a).)
What steps must a voter take to request a statewide recount?
For a statewide office or any measure voted on statewide, a voter must file a signed, written request with the California Secretary of State for a recount. The request must specify in which county or counties the recount is sought and on behalf of which candidate, slate of electors, or position on a measure (affirmative or negative) the request is being filed. The recount request may specify the precinct order in which votes shall be recounted. If no precinct order is specified, the county elections official will determine the order. The requestor may submit a written request to change the precinct order, but the change cannot be made absent the approval of the county elections official. (Elections Code §§ 15621, 15622; Code of Regulations § 20814.)
When must a recount request be made?
A voter may file a recount request within five days beginning on the 31st day after a statewide election, or within five days following completion of any post canvass risk-limiting audit conducted pursuant to Elections Code section 15560. (Elections Code § 15621(a).)
What does the Secretary of State do after receiving a recount request?
The Secretary of State must forward a copy of the request to the elections official in each county where a recount is sought. (Elections Code § 15621(b).)
What does a county elections official do after receiving a recount request?
After receiving the recount request from the Secretary of State, the county elections official must first verify the person requesting the recount is registered to vote in California. (Code of Regulations § 20812(b).) The recount must begin not more than seven days after the county elections official receives the recount request, but it cannot begin until the day after the county elections official notifies all of the candidates for that office and the Secretary of State in person or by any federally regulated overnight mail service. At least one day before the recount begins, the county elections official must post a notice detailing when and where the recount will be conducted, as well as the daily schedule. The recount must be conducted daily (not including weekends and holidays) for a minimum of six hours each day until completed. (Elections Code §§ 15626, 15628; Code of Regulations § 20819.) The county elections official also must resubmit the security measures for recounts to the Secretary of State. (Code of Regulations § 20817.)
Can there be more than one recount in the same statewide contest?
Yes. Any time during a recount and for 24 hours after it concludes, any other voter can request a recount in any county, as long as it does not include any precincts that were recounted as part of a prior request. A new 24-hour window to request a recount in another area opens each time a recount is concluded. The 24-hour timeframe amounts to one business day. (Elections Code § 15623; Code of Regulations § 20812(c).)
In the event more than one voter requests a recount of the same office or measure, and at least one request is for a manual recount, the elections official of a county subject to multiple requests shall conduct only one manual recount of those ballots, the result of which shall be controlling. (Elections Code § 15621.5.)
Where is a recount conducted?
A recount must be conducted publicly in a location large enough to accommodate observers and media. (Elections Code § 15629; Code of Regulations §§ 20816, 20820.)
How much does a recount cost?
Recount costs vary by county. Before the recount can begin, the voter or campaign committee represented by the voter requesting the recount must provide the money requested by the county elections official to pay for the cost of the first day's recount work. This procedure is repeated for each day the recount continues. (Elections Code § 15624; Code of Regulations § 20815.)
Does a recount preclude the Secretary of State from certifying election results?
No. The law requires the Secretary of State to certify statewide election results no later than 38 days after the election. (Elections Code § 15501(b).) The law does not permit the Secretary of State to withhold certification of the election for any reason. If a recount results in a different outcome, the affected county elections officials must recertify their results to the Secretary of State. (Code of Regulations § 20822.)
Must all of the ballots cast in the entire state be recounted in order to change the result in a statewide contest?
Yes. If the office, slates of presidential electors, or measure is voted on statewide, unless each vote cast for the office, slates, or measure is recounted, the results of any recount will be declared null and void. (Elections Code § 15632; Code of Regulations § 20822.)
What is a state-funded recount?
Within five days beginning on the 31st day after an election, the Governor can order a state-funded manual recount of all votes cast for a statewide office or state ballot measure if any of the following occurs:
The official results in a statewide primary election show that the second and third place candidates for a statewide office (other than the Superintendent of Public Instruction) are only separated by less than or equal to the lesser of 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the number of all votes cast for that office.
The official results in a statewide general election show that the two candidates for a statewide office getting the highest number of votes are only separated by less than or equal to the lesser of 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the number of all votes cast for that office.
The official results in a statewide election show that the "yes" and "no" votes on a state ballot measure are only separated by less than or equal to the lesser of 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the number of all votes cast on the measure.
If the results of the contest for Governor meet the requirements for a state-funded recount, the Secretary of State, not the Governor, may order a state-funded recount.
For the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, a state-funded recount may occur after a statewide primary election only if one of the following occurs:
The number of votes received by the winning candidate was between 0.49985 and 0.50015, of the number of all votes cast or was within 1,000 votes of 50 percent of the number of all votes cast.
No candidate received votes on a majority of all the ballots cast for candidates for that office and the second and third place candidates are only separated by less than or equal to the lesser of 1,000 votes or 0.00015 of the number of all votes cast for that office.
If a state-funded recount is conducted, no other recount of a statewide office or statewide measure can be conducted. (Elections Code § 15645).

In order for basic change to occur, three things are necessary: 1. Motivation -- one must really want it (not just say so) 2, Commitment -- one must be willing to pay the price (time, money, pain, etc.) 3. Action -- there must be action to carry out the committment, and also there must be a situation wherein there is the opportunity for the appropriate action. And it is in therapy (or a therapeutic situation), and more specifically in therapy which includes the group process, that, in my opinion, there is the greatest opportunity for action. I do not speak of a group which meets maybe once a week for an hour and a half or two, I mean a group setting which provides a 24-hour opportunity for change, which brings to mind such analogs as Alcoholics Anonymous, which was first historically, and Synanon which is more complete and encompassing because the living situation is included along with thte twenty-four hour work orientation; this latter environment must exist, in my opinion, in order to allow the motivation to find expression and the committment to basic change to find opportunities for appropriate action.

Diane Bell, (* 11. říjen 1963 Corbridge, Spojené království) je bývalá reprezentantka Spojeného království v judu.

Sportovní kariéra
Její sportovní kariéra je spojená s judo klubem v Grimsby. Členkou reprezentace byla dlouhých 15 let. Jedno období své váhové kategorii dokonce dominovala. V roce 1988 na olympijských hrách v Soulu vyhrála první místo v ukázkové disciplíně ženského juda. Na první oficiální účast si však musela počkat do roku 1992, ale nestačila na své asijské soupeřky. V roce 1996 jako veteránka ještě mohla pomýšlet na olympijskou medaili, ale mladší soupeřka ve druhém kole byla proti. Vzápětí se s vrcholovou kariérou rozloučila. Dlouhé roky se věnovala trénování mladých judistů.

That is the only explanation for my life right now. Last week I had the cold from hell, and just as it was finally starting to get better, it took a turn into what I think is Sinus Infection Land. And now it appears I may have a stomach bug on top of it. And also I have a wicked headache.
On top of that, I have midterms and can't afford to miss any more class, since last week knocked me out. Mr. Toad also has midterms and is in the midst of the job hunt and is facing telling his parents he's an athiest over Thanksgiving (he's afraid they might disown him) and is basically a wreck. Since we've both been working so hard lately we've had very little time to ourselves to just be together, which we both need. Also my period is technically 2 days late but I've been weirdly irregular for the past few months and I've used condoms 100% so I am probably just stressing myself out right?
Please send gifs, advice, or ancient curse-breaking rituals.

Each person has the right to receive the information and support needed to move toward self-direction and self-development and affirmation within one's group identities, with special care being given to students who have historically not received adequate educational services, e.g., students of color, students living at a low socio-economic status, students with disabilities and students from non-dominant language backgrounds.
Each person has the right to understand the full magnitude and meaning of his/her educational choices and how those choices will affect future opportunities.
Each person has the right to privacy and thereby the right to expect the school-counselor/student relationship to comply with all laws, policies and ethical standards pertaining to confidentiality in the school setting.
Each person has the right to feel safe in school environments that school counselors help create, free from abuse, bullying, neglect, harassment or other forms of violence.
In this document, ASCA specifies the principles of ethical behavior necessary to maintain the high standards of integrity, leadership and professionalism among its members. The Ethical Standards for School Counselors were developed to clarify the nature of ethical responsibilities held in common by school counselors, supervisors/directors of school counseling programs and school counselor educators. The purposes of this document are to:
Serve as a guide for the ethical practices of all professional school counselors, supervisors/directors of school counseling programs and school counselor educators regardless of level, area, population served or membership in this professional association;
Provide self-appraisal and peer evaluations regarding school counselors' responsibilities to students, parents/guardians, colleagues and professional associates, schools, communities and the counseling profession; and
Inform all stakeholders, including students, parents and guardians, teachers, administrators, community members and courts of justice, of best ethical practices, values and expected behaviors of the school counseling professional."

Japan's First Lady took part in Tokyo's Gay Pride Parade
Akie Abe, wife of the country's conservative Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, appeared atop a float in the 'Rainbow Pride' parade, which more than 3000 people marched in.
She went on to post colourful pictures on her Facebook page of her on a pride float next to a drag queen, smiling and waving to the crowds.
Some of the participants at the parade held banners which read: 'AIDS is not over' and Abe has been involved with the fight against AIDS since joining a commission set up by UNAIDS and the Lancet medical journal last year.
The First Lady later wrote on her Facebook page: "I want to help build a society where anyone can conduct happy, enriched lives without facing discrimination.
Japan does not allow same-sex marriage, defining marriage as "based only on the mutual consent of both sexes", and a recent poll found there is still a majority opposed to the issue.

Hi Linda! This is your dedicated project page. Here, I will post all updates and progress on your project. Whenever there is something new, I'll invite you to check it out.
This page will allow you to look at things up a little closer and see your final package develop as we work.
Here is a board showing several of the items you liked on your Pinterest board along with some lamps I found and a few other items. Let me know what you think.
Please email me your comments on this board and whether or not we need to replace any of the items with others. Then, we can move onto the bar wall!
-Place your large items where they go according to your floorplan. Sofa, chairs, coffee table, bar cabinet, and console table.
-Now place your smaller items. End tables, accessories, lamps.
-Now it's time to hang lighting, draperies, and artwork.
LAMPS: Left table//Place lamp in center of the table. Layer plant in front and over a couple inches to the right. These items should touch.
PILLOWS: Start by placing the largest pillows on the outside and layering in as they get smaller. This should work out just like your rendering shows. For the orange lumbar pillows, center them on the orange velvet chairs.
COFFEE TABLE: Place a stack of 5 to 6 books on the coffee table and 4-6" to the right place the snake plant. You could also set a wood or gold tray that you could set these items in.
SPECIFICS FOR ARTWORK: Bottom of the artwork should be 3 feet from the floor and outside (opposite of window) of artwork should be about 2' from the wall.
ROUND MIRROR: Hang round mirror about 12" from the top of the bar. Center the best you can above.
CONSOLE TABLE: Lamps should be placed about 12" in on each side. You may want to play with this a little based on where you naturally want to set down your drinks when you're sitting at this table. Place chairs in front as shown in your floor plan. Leave approximately 6" from top of the console table and the bottom of the artwork. Center the best you can. Just to be clear, this console table is not bar height it is about 30" high. The chairs are regular dining chair height. I think this works best for the function of the room.
VASES: Layer with largest in the back left, smallest in the middle, and medium sized to the right. There will probably be 1 or 2" in between each one. Place a faux palm leaf in each vase.
WALL DECOR: Order 2 sets (see shopping list below) of planters and hang in a diamond pattern. Hang the top one about 6" above tv height and layer the others below with about 6-8" between each. Let me know if you need help with this. I'm happy to draw a little diagram.
SIZE: 40"X40" OR 48"X48" (I think I like the idea of the 48" but this is up to you! I would get the STRETCHED CANVAS option so that you don't have to worry about framing.
SIZE: I would do a 94" drapery length and a width of 55-60" per panel. This should allow you to close them but I would just double check with the Shade store when they come and measure.
LINING: Up to you! How much sunlight do you want to keep out? I usually just do the regular lining (privacy lining but no interlining). Add $222 for basic lining.
If you order through the shade store they will send someone out for free to measure your window and will also send someone out to install. This is just to ensure that you get the right size.
MOUNT: You want to mount these about 2" from the ceiling so that they hit right at the floor or slightly pool. This will also make the ceilings appear to be taller, and the room to feel bigger overall.


The defendant transported 2,000 tons of fishoil from Iceland to Norway on board the tanker "Aqasia." On arrival at the discharge port(s), it was discovered that some tanks of fishoil had been damaged along the way.
The judge acknowledged that the word "unit" is commonly used to refer both to individual physical objects as well as units of measurement. The defendant argued that both definitions should apply to the Hague Rules. It said that as the cargo was described in the charterparty as "2,000 tons of cargo in fishoil in bulk," a limit of £100 per ton of fishoil was appropriate. The claimants argued in the alternative that "unit" in this context could only mean physical objects, or a combination of physical items bundled together, thus excluding fishoil in bulk from the limitation.
The defendant submitted that the Hague Rules, insofar as they were written into the charterparty, had to be interpreted in the context of what each party contemplated when the charterparty was concluded. The parties' intention, it was argued, must have been for Article IV to apply to bulk cargo, as this was the only type of cargo being transported and the parties had agreed that the defendant would have the privileges, rights and immunities afforded by Article VI.
The judge, however, did not accept that the meaning of the Rules could be changed to fit the nature of the contract of carriage. Turning to the legislative history of the Hague Rules, which were enacted in 1924, he pointed to clear evidence to suggest that the word "unit" had first been included in the Rules to cover unpackaged items, such as cars or boilers. The drafting committee did not appear to have even discussed cargoes in bulk or the introduction of limits of liability based on weight or volume. Moreover, the judge found, the committee could not have intended a limitation for bulk cargo of £100 per unit, as the value of such cargoes at that time could never have approached this figure. Crude oil, for instance, was US$1.43 per barrel in 1924.
A key issue with the defendant's submission that "unit" could mean both objects and units of measurement was that the word would be given different meanings for different types of cargo. If a package was described on the bill of lading with a specified weight, there would be no clear way of knowing which limitation amount applied (i.e. whether "unit" would denote the package itself, or the measurement of its weight).
For these reasons, the judge was confident that "unit" could only be read as applying to physical objects shipped singly or grouped together, and not to cargo in bulk. The defendants, therefore, were not entitled to rely on the Hague Rules to limit their liability for the damaged fishoil.
Pauline Barratt, partner at Fee Langstone, says that although the Hague Rules are seldom referred to these days, The Aqasia has some relevance to Hague-Visby Rules cases. Those Rules provide for two different methods of calculating liability – one by the number of packages or units, and one by weight. The judge in The Aqasia commented that the word "unit" in the Hague-Visby Rules referred to a physical item. It follows that the limitation for bulk cargoes must be calculated by weight only.

Q: Create a nested fields and store dataframe to MongoDB using scala? I'm working with Scala, I have a problem to map data from HBase to store in MongoDB. Let me explain:
I have a Person and Address Tables in Hbase, One person for many address.
val sparkSession = SparkSession.builder().getOrCreate()

val dfPerson = sparkSession.read.format()...

dfPerson.show():

+---------+--------------------+--------------------+-------+---------+
|PERSON_ID|           LAST_NAME|          FIRST_NAME|COUNTRY|     CITY|
+---------+--------------------+--------------------+-------+---------+
|     1005|               Miley|                John|  Spain|   Madrid|
|     1005|               Miley|                John|  Spain|Barcele..|
|     1009|              Rodney|              Justin| France|    Paris|
|     1009|              Rodney|              Justin| France|  Creteil|
+---------+--------------------+--------------------+------+---------+

I need to map these data in nested object format, then it will be stored in MongoDB, there a colleccion has arrays address block inside it, as like:
[ {
    name: "John"
    lasteName: "Miley"
    address:[
      {city: "Bacelona", country: "Spain", ... },
      {city: "Madrid", country: "Spain", ...},
       ...
    ]
    },
   {
    name: "Justin"
    lasteName: "Rodney",
    address: [..]
  }
]

Are there any framework to map these escanrie?
thanks your suggestion

A: Here is how you can do it.
val df = Seq(
  ("1005", "Miley", "John", "Spain", "Barceleona"),
  ("1009", "Rodney", "Justin", "France", "Paris"),
  ("1009", "Rodney", "Justin", "France", "Creteil")
).toDF("PERSON_ID", "LAST_NAME", "FIRST_NAME", "COUNTRY", "CITY")

//New column names
val newCols = List("id", "lastName", "name", "country", "city")

//rename all columns and groupby to create nested address
val resultDF = df.select(df.columns.zip(newCols).map(c => col(c._1).as(c._2)):_*)
  .groupBy("id", "name", "lastName")
  .agg(collect_list(struct($"city", $"country")).as("address"))

Final Schema:
root
 |-- id: string (nullable = true)
 |-- name: string (nullable = true)
 |-- lastName: string (nullable = true)
 |-- address: array (nullable = true)
 |    |-- element: struct (containsNull = true)
 |    |    |-- city: string (nullable = true)
 |    |    |-- country: string (nullable = true)

Here is the final schema that you want. To store to mongoDB you can use mongo-spark-connector" https://docs.mongodb.com/spark-connector/current/scala-api/

Man was it a long day. It was fun though so I'm not complaining, I just currently have a headache that needs to go away already.
I remember when Friday meant nothing to me and neither did the weekends. Now it means Park Day and a lazy dinner to ease into a fun-filled weekend.
I have two children still asleep at 8:40am. I type this knowing that will be the magic that wakes them up. Since we have both violin and gymnastics today, I think I'll just let them be lazy. Well, they also have to finish cleaning the playroom so it's not all laziness.

Multi-institutional meeting centers on making the 'impossible' possible in cancer research

Computer scientists, biomedical engineers, cancer biologists and bioinformaticians from eight Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, health-related government agencies and universities converged at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) March 6-7 to discuss ongoing efforts to advance cancer research through computation, identify existing challenges and brainstorm future multidisciplinary projects.
During the two-day scoping meeting at LLNL's High Performance Computing Innovation Center (HPCIC), panelists updated attendees on the progress of DOE collaborations with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR). Presenters spoke of the importance of converging cancer biology and computation and the impact of emerging techniques such as artificial intelligence and machine learning on cancer research and precision medicine. Attendees participated in breakout discussion groups designed to encourage researchers across various institutions to engage with each other, draft "lean-in" challenges to focus attention and discuss potential collaborations.
"It's exciting for DOE researchers to get to work on something really meaningful that touches people's lives — everyone knows somebody who has cancer, so it brings our best thinking to the table," said Carolyn Lauzon, program manager in DOE Office of Science's Advanced Scientific Computing Research program. "I'm hoping long term that this kind of meeting is part of a much longer process to inject high-performance computing into NCI in a way that they currently aren't using HPC. We don't see a lot of cancer researchers using our leadership computing facilities, even though we know they have challenges that could. It would be great if we could participate and engage with them in a way that creates a cultural shift in how they use this technology."
Panelists and presenters discussed advances in ongoing cancer-related projects including the Joint Design for Advanced Computing for Cancer (JDACS4C) Program. Part of the Cancer Moonshot project, JDACS4C is a partnership among DOE, NCI, FNLCR and four DOE national laboratories. It is comprised of three pilot projects: a cellular-level pilot to develop computational models to predict how tumors will respond to anti-cancer drugs; a molecular-level pilot looking at simulating the molecular interactions and dynamics of the RAS protein, whose mutations are tied to about a third of human cancers; and a population-level pilot aimed at applying deep learning and other advanced computing technologies to cancer surveillance data to predict patient outcomes. The effort is supported by a collaborative open-source software platform incorporating deep learning called CANcer Distributed Learning Environment (CANDLE).
LLNL Chief Computational Scientist Fred Streitz, who is co-leading the RAS protein pilot, said although "some people said [the project] was impossible," it has made tremendous strides in multiscale modeling on LLNL's Sierra supercomputer, allowing researchers to analyze the protein interactions with plasma membranes on both a macroscopic and microscopic level using machine learning.
"We now have this capability and it actually works, and we are seeing the buy-in of the biology community because they understand now what's possible," Streitz said. "Before Sierra was taken away (moved to classified research), we managed to run a very large simulation campaign, literally between 100,000 to 200,000 simulations representing many hundred milliseconds of time on this system that we can explore, and that's amazing. That's what gets people up in the morning — getting some of the answers. We can now start to explore the science, and that's what's very exciting."
The project is transitioning to Lassen, Sierra's unclassified counterpart. Project co-lead Dwight Nissley, director of the Cancer Research Technology Program at the Frederick National Laboratory, said the team is moving to the second stage, attempting to understand the activation process of RAF proteins and the interaction of RAS and RAF proteins. In a broad sense, he said, NCI is interested in the interface between computation and biomedical research to help close gaps in experimentation.
"There are things that are just technically not possible to do experimentally now, either because of lack of the technology or the resolution in the experimental outputs isn't sufficient to understand molecular details," Nissley said. "Right now, we're spreading the good news of what's possible to do with these types of collaborations, and I'm hoping these kinds of efforts will spread across the NCI so that other groups will also take advantage of the computational capabilities at DOE and here at Livermore. Whenever you come to a meeting like this, you see collaborative possibilities and it stimulates new ideas and new thinking."
NCI Program Director Emily Greenspan said the vision of the NCI/DOE partnership is a cancer-focused national learning health care system that derives knowledge from all relevant patient data. The goal, she said, is to develop predictive models and simulations for what cancer researchers should see, and prescriptive analytics for what researchers should do. Achieving this goal, she said, would require building a scalable data infrastructure, new forms of data analysis and predictive modeling and developing a large and capable data science workforce.
"We have this starting point of our interagency collaboration and we feel like now is the opportune time to expand and broaden the impact, engagement and potential collaborations that are possible," Greenspan said. "We hope to use this scoping meeting to build a community at this intersection and really start to develop the vision for what cancer challenges can compel innovation and advanced computing, and on the flip side, what computing innovations can drive new knowledge and innovation in cancer."
Frederick National Laboratory took a lead role in organizing the meeting as part of an ongoing effort supported by the NCI. The effort looks to expand involvement in the broader cancer research community and define leading-edge efforts that push the limits of cancer research challenges, employing capabilities and experts at the DOE laboratories in computing, light sources, advanced materials and other areas, according to FNLCR Director of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Eric Stahlberg.
"Even as the collaboration between NCI and DOE started formally with a signed memo of understanding in June 2016, it was clear that there would be many future opportunities to explore how the agencies and their respective communities could join together and truly lean in to key challenges both in computing and in cancer research," Stahlberg said. "This meeting represents a major step in that direction, catalyzing the formation of ideas and to start the building of the community to carry new ideas and concepts forward."
An afternoon panel featured representatives from eight different DOE national laboratories, where researchers discussed the capabilities and resources at DOE in both computing and expertise and how those resources have led to partnerships and long-term projects.
"DOE has the largest collection of the fastest machines on the planet of any single organization," said Argonne National Laboratory Associate Lab Director Rick Stevens, principal investigator for CANDLE and co-lead of the cellular-level JDACS4C pilot project. "We have the largest number of computer scientists working in such an organization that does science [and] that means we also have a lot of mathematicians and people that do graphics and statistics, so there's this huge resource that's been created over the last 50 years. While we didn't create exascale to do cancer, now having created it we want to apply it to cancer."
Peter Nugent, a division deputy for Scientific Engagement in the Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, gave the first day's keynote speech, detailing his research into using machine learning analysis of telescopic images of space to automate the search for supernovae. Combined with a faster data pipeline, the work dramatically reduced the amount of time researchers needed to spend searching for supernova candidates. The case study served as an example of a "multidisciplinary triumph" that successfully implemented advanced technologies to sort through massive amounts of data and reached unprecedented breakthroughs.
"High-performance computing and working with people in computer science, database, networking and I/O helped improve a pipeline and go from a very simplistic idea of just processing to getting an answer the next day and moving on, to opening up completely new avenues of science people didn't even think were possible," Nugent said.
In the following panel, professors and researchers from multiple universities including Harvard, Stanford and the University of Pittsburgh, along with several health-related institutions, discussed challenges in cancer research, namely barriers to accessing medical data, optimizing prevention and health and gaining the trust of physicians who may someday use the models to determine treatment plans.
"We don't just want to do the big simulations because it's something we want to do, we want it to be usable," said Amanda Randles, a former Lawrence Fellow in LLNL's Applied Scientific Computing program who is currently a biomedical engineering professor at Duke University.
The scoping meeting drew about 80 attendees. On the meeting's second day, Warren Kibbe, chief for Translational Biomedical Informatics in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and chief data officer for the Duke Cancer Institute, presented a keynote on "Blue Sky Possibilities at the Intersection of Oncology and Computing." The day was primarily devoted to attendees assembling in writing groups that addressed each "lean-in" challenge area and gave presentations on the results.
LLNL's Director of Strategic Engagements and Alliance Management for the Physical & Life Sciences Directorate Amy Gryshuk, a member of the meeting planning team, said she was pleased with the turnout and the discussions that enabled a forum for people to meet from diversified areas of research.
"A scoping meeting like this provides a forum to discuss future strategic directions and lean-in with forward thinking about what critical challenges we want to tackle in the next 10-15 years." Gryshuk said. "As we continue to bring these communities together, we can push the limits and ask, 'what cancer solution do we want for the physician and patient, and then with the DOE computing capabilities that we have and with what advancements are being made, what can we do together collectively?' The attendees were challenged to get out of their seats, have dynamic interactions and produce some tangible ideas for potential future collaboration."
DOE Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) representatives said the meeting, the first in a series with the cancer research community, was important to allow researchers to explore existing challenges, identify new possible areas for further research and envision how solving complex problems like cancer would push DOE's advanced computing systems and technologies such as AI and machine learning, ultimately serving DOE's mission interests.
"There are some very interesting and unique things about trying to solve problems in the cancer space that I think excites the community and inspires new directions on how to attack problems in a completely different way. Without the traditional constraints, maybe a new capability can be created that can then broadly benefit more of the DOE mission," said Michael Cooke, program manager in DOE Office of Science's High Energy Physics program. "I'm looking forward to where things might head next."
NNSA Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program Manager Thuc Hoang said she hopes that by testing massive, hard-to-classify cancer data sets with some of the ASC program's uncertainty quantification techniques, researchers will be able test the boundaries of existing computing technologies, while at the same time helping to advance the entire cancer research community.
"We within the NNSA program feel like we are the leader in the HPC business, and we have the tools to help other federal agencies and other communities that aren't as advantaged in computing to benefit from all the investigations we've done," Hoang said. "We're essentially sharing the fruits of our labor."

How should you clean ears safely? The subject of ear hygiene is extremely important. Not knowing how to clean ears safely can lead to irreversible damage.
Many people clean their ears by introducing objects such as cotton swabs, toothpicks, crochet hooks, and even pencils and keys into their ear canals. They believe that by doing this, they can eliminate earwax and other debris that can cause the sensation of plugged ears.
However, using these tools achieves the opposite effect because it will not clean ears safely. The foreign objects alter the pH and fatty acid content, remove all wax, and undermine the ear's capacity to defend itself against germs.
Ears have an efficient natural cleaning mechanism that should not be tampered with. Any unsuitable action can interrupt this mechanism and cause problems that can even lead to deafness.
The ear has three parts: an external part (outer ear), a canal (middle ear) and the tympanic membrane at the back (internal ear). Earwax, which is the ear's natural means of protection, is found in the canal.
What are the functions of earwax?
Continually removing the earwax eliminates the ear's natural defense mechanism. Furthermore, introducing pointy objects into the ear can damage the eardrum and cause deafness.
Mix 1 tbsp. of salt in half a cup of warm water. Combine until the salt dissolves completely and the solution is uniform.
Soak a cotton ball in the solution and squeeze a few drops into the ear. You can also use the dropper.
Maintain your head slightly tilted to the side, with the treated ear up.
After a few minutes, tilt your head to the opposite side, so that the solution drains out.
Mix equal parts boiled water and hydrogen peroxide.
Follow the same steps as with the saline solution, and apply the mixture with a soaked cotton ball or dropper.
For use in cases of earwax blockage.
Place a few drops in the ear to soften the wax and allow the oil to work overnight.
Place a cotton ball in your ear so that the oil does not leak out before reaching the wax.
In the morning, take out the cotton ball and clean the excess oil.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and alcohol.
While tilting your head to one side, place a few drops of the solution in the ear, and allow to set for a few minutes.
After a few minutes, tilt your head to the other side to allow the solution to drain.
Injecting sterilized water with a syringe is another appropriate method for cleaning your ears.
The water should be slightly warm, reaching body temperature. After irrigating your ear, dry it well.
If you feel you may have earwax blockage in your ears, you can do certain activities to help drain the blockage in a natural manner.
If you mistakenly use cotton swabs to clean ears safely, it is necessary to take into account the following measures in order to prevent harming your ears.
They should be used to clean only the external zone.
They must be inserted at a straight angle.
This is very important: They should not be used to eliminate earwax; therefore, it is not safe to insert them up to the middle ear.
Inadequate use of cotton swabs can be harmful. You run the risk of pushing earwax (and other contaminating materials that may be present) from the exterior part of the ear to the inner part, which can cause obstructions and infections.
Excess ear cleaning is not a good thing, since, as mentioned previously, earwax is a natural defense mechanism. We suggest cleaning your ears only once a week, regardless of what procedure you choose.
If you experience intense pain, redness, and fever, we recommend that you do not use any home treatment method. Instead, consult your doctor immediately.
A periodic visit to your ear, nose, and throat specialist is always advisable.
A doctor can observe the ear's interior with special instruments, and will suggest the most adequate ear cleaning method for your situation.

The 2nd Canadian Tunnelling Company was one of the tunnelling companies of the Canadian Military Engineers during World War I. The tunnelling units were occupied in offensive and defensive mining involving the placing and maintaining of mines under enemy lines, as well as other underground work such as the construction of deep dugouts for troop accommodation, the digging of subways, saps (a narrow trench dug to approach enemy trenches), cable trenches and underground chambers for signals and medical services.

Background

By January 1915 it had become evident to the BEF at the Western Front that the Germans were mining to a planned system. As the British had failed to develop suitable counter-tactics or underground  listening devices before the war, field marshals French and Kitchener agreed to investigate the suitability of forming  British mining units. Following consultations between the Engineer-in-Chief of the BEF, Brigadier George Fowke, and the mining specialist John Norton-Griffiths, the War Office formally approved the tunnelling company scheme on 19 February 1915.

Norton-Griffiths ensured that tunnelling companies numbers 170 to 177 were ready for deployment in mid-February 1915. In the spring of that year, there was constant underground fighting in the Ypres Salient at Hooge, Hill 60, Railway Wood, Sanctuary Wood, St Eloi and The Bluff which required the deployment of new drafts of tunnellers for several months after the formation of the first eight companies. The lack of suitably experienced men led to some tunnelling companies starting work later than others. The number of units available to the BEF was also restricted by the need to provide effective counter-measures to the German mining activities. To make the tunnels safer and quicker to deploy, the British Army enlisted experienced coal miners, many outside their nominal recruitment policy. The first nine companies, numbers 170 to 178, were each commanded by a regular Royal Engineers officer. These companies each comprised 5 officers and 269 sappers; they were aided by additional infantrymen who were temporarily attached to the tunnellers as required, which almost doubled their numbers.  The success of the first tunnelling companies formed under Norton-Griffiths' command led to mining being made a separate branch of the  Engineer-in-Chief's office under Major-General S.R. Rice, and the appointment of an 'Inspector of Mines' at the GHQ Saint-Omer office of the Engineer-in-Chief. A second group of tunnelling companies were formed from Welsh miners from the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Monmouthshire Regiment, who were attached to the 1st Northumberland Field Company of the Royal Engineers, which was a Territorial unit. The formation of twelve new tunnelling companies, between July and October 1915, helped to bring more men into action in other parts of the Western Front. Most British tunnelling companies were formed under Norton-Griffiths' leadership during 1915, and one more was added in 1916.

On 10 September 1915, the British government sent an appeal to Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand to raise tunnelling companies in the Dominions of the British Empire. On 17 September, New Zealand became the first Dominion to agree the formation of a tunnelling unit. The New Zealand Tunnelling Company arrived at Plymouth on 3 February 1916 and was deployed to the Western Front in northern France. The Canadian Military Engineers contributed three tunnelling companies to the British Expeditionary Force. One unit was formed from men on the battlefield, plus two other companies trained in Canada and then shipped to France. Three Australian tunnelling companies were formed by March 1916, resulting in 30 tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers being available by the summer of 1916.

Unit history
2nd Canadian Tunnelling Company was formed in Alberta and British Columbia. The unit then moved to France and into the Ypres sector for instruction. Shortly afterwards, in April 1916, it relieved 172nd Tunnelling Company between Tor Top, Armagh Wood and St Eloi.

Messines 1916/17

As part of the preparations for the Battle of Messines in June 1917, the 2nd Canadian Tunnelling Company began work on deep dugouts in the Ypres Salient. The Battle of Messines was a prelude to the much larger Third Battle of Ypres (31 July–10 November 1917). The underground building activities of the Royal Engineer units consisted of a series of deep mines dug by the British 171st, 175th, 250th, 1st Canadian, 3rd Canadian and 1st Australian Tunnelling companies to be fired at the start of the Battle of Messines (7–14 June 1917), while the British 183rd, 2nd Canadian and 2nd Australian Tunnelling companies built underground shelters in the Second Army area. The mines at Messines were detonated on 7 June 1917, creating  craters.

SLIFF: It's A Wrap
by Mark Fischer
After countless special events, appearances by independent filmmaker Jon Jost and Academy Award-winning writer-slash-director Oliver Stone, and a whopping 75 features, 63 documentaries and 192 shorts representing 54 countries, the time has come to draw the curtain on the Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival. The fest concludes with a rousing SLIFF closing night party and awards presentation, including the audience picks for Best Film, Best International Film and Best Documentary. While Stone has three Oscars to his credit, the origin of the name "Oscar" will forever be debated, with Bette Davis claiming she named the statuette because its posterior resembled her husband's backside. The audience pick for Best Documentary will receive the coveted Leon award, which is definitively named in memory of Leon Strauss' civic leadership and not his rear end. The ceremony begins at 8 p.m. at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (3750 Washington Boulevard). Admission and complimentary Stella Artois are free to film fans age 21 or older, and DJ Rob Levy promises to keep the party hoppin'. For more information, visit www.cinemastlouis.org.

Well, the rainy season has come and gone, and even though flooding effected a lot of people here in the valley, we are so grateful for the rain received. Thank you for you prayers!
First of all we would like to thank all of you for all the many ways you bless our lives and the work here in Bolivia. We really appreciate the encouragement we receive from your prayers, messages and support. Thanks again!
"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." Phil 1:3–6.
What a privilege it is to be full partners in God's mission. Let's all remember that our Father's business, His things, His mission is a never ending one. There is always something to do, someone that needs to hear, someone that needs to be served. It is a great thing to be a part of God's family and it is even more wonderful to realize that we are also a part of His business and He is not finished yet. The glory will always be His!
