THE IMAGINARY ABSOLUTE
Posted on November 21, 2017 November 23, 2017 by poeteye

Gustav Köln was a physicist for life. His work had been all that mattered to him, but he had recently taken a wife –
a dedicated co-worker named Kim.
She'd always been worshipfully supportive to scientific quests and inquiry,
but she had turned quite clearly abortive
on what was his big opportunity.
Through elimination, he'd been chosen
to head the new research team at CERN II.
Her concern: The first team's brains were frozen, or they were left mad, if they saw it through.
"Don't you see? The results are there," he said, "Someone has to look; man can't live in dread."
The big project at CERN II was to find
the missing final link that must unite
mass and energy (Being and the mind). This accomplished, Physics had reached its height, but no sane observation had been made
through the intensity of what occurred.
Whatever it was, the world was afraid;
research was stopped and the dead were interred.
But, with billions of dollars invested and the success that all guessed was achieved, the experiment wasn't long rested –
the tragedy more debated than grieved. Mankind couldn't just walk away pensive; the knowledge purchased was too expensive.
True love doesn't labor with reliance;
Kim couldn't keep him from his dream she guessed.
'There's just no stopping a man of science,'
so, eventually, she acquiesced.
He said, "Three men are in recovery. Safeguards come with the knowledge that we gain. This is the most profound discovery of our age," with which she argued in vain:
"A lot of life is profound; death's profound! Look into my eyes, so I'll know it's true: Promise me something like you'll return sound."
He said, "I promise I'll never leave you."
She cried, smiled, fell into kissing embrace, held up her chin and memorized his face.
"'Attaining the sub-atomic jewel within the technological lotus is our aim, this facility our tool,' this is the Board's statement; you may quote us," said Chuck Hoskins to the press, but later remarked to Gustav that it was a pain, "… glorifying the accelerator. It's built; we shouldn't still have to campaign. Keep in mind, part of this project's P.R.
"Welcome to CERN II; may you leave alive. You holding up through the speeches so far? Psych briefing's next. It may help you revive. I suggest you glean all that you can get; your life and sanity depend on it."
There was a lot of orientation to attend and, at least, the psych-review would really provide some information that was useful and interesting too.
"Boring is bad, but confusing is worse," said Hoskins, "I just thought I should warn you."
"The accounts of these men are quite diverse. Each holds that his account's the one that's true," began the Chief Psychiatrist's report.
"If you'll look at the monitors, you'll see video interviews; please don't resort to quick dismissal if they seem crazy. All these men suffered severe trauma. We ask you see through their manic drama.
"First, the tape of Professor Albert Stern."
The screen showed a man both crazed and refined,
"I've learned we have everything yet to learn, and the Universe is one thinking mind. The final and ultimate particles are clones of the Big Singularity, and they appear to us as articles through multi-dimensional parity.
"God's thinking; while His mind wanders away, universal uncertainty exists. I've seen hundreds of dimensions this day, and Space-time is only one that persists, but God doesn't only see all that is — all quantum probability is His."
Dr. Stern then spasmed stiff with tension and babbled more gibberish about God.
"Space-time's not a single dimension,"
said Gustav.
"Just wait, if you think that's odd,"
said Hoskins, "Stern's now recovered the most you know, and the only one considered to be functional — not so for Green or Provost, nor any others, unfortunately.
"Stern's got latent preaching proclivity and some hidden conflict that he's fighting. He's completely lost objectivity and eschews all scientific writing. Don't you think that's an odd position to take if you're a mathematician?"
b0c48565-35a7-46ae-ad05-971a399edd54
Dr. Green seem more calm, though glassy-eyed, and his syntax was far more disjointed:
"Through order I transcended, then defied … In the waters of Chaos anointed … Being and Nothingness are the Yin-Yang arranged in an infinite pangression that joins all paths into the Same," Green sang, then assumed a pedantic expression, "Belief, my children, Belief is the key. It's Faith in the God that makes mountains move. Absolutes are impossibility; all that you prove you can also disprove. Reality's only a ritual, grown now unconscious and habitual."
Provost's account was more pessimistic, and his style of delivery, too, was different — one might say ballistic:
"The mind's an anomaly! Nothing's true! All "order" is just superimposition on the fabric of chaos and madness. The universe has no definition!" Then, less angry, with a note of sadness:
"If there's a God, He's so uninvolved that the question about His existence, for all it matters, might as well be solved; it makes no difference, whatever your stance. Order's nothing but a localized freak; Random are the rules of God's Hide-And-Seek."
"Well, there you have it," said Hoskins, "sort of like 'The Blind Men And The Elephant,' right? Each one's account's uniquely purportive. Observing the same elephant, sans sight, each decides what the animal must be, based upon the part that he happens to encounter — a snake, a rope or a tree — but what is missing is the larger view that accommodates all observation.
Beyond these subjective realities, we lack objective evaluation.
"We'd prefer more precise analyses to exegetic interpretation — something open to verification.
"Simple mathematical description of its properties would satisfy us;
I don't mean only our Board's conscription, but everyone — atheist or pious.
"We want what we first started out to find — the ultimate particle of matter — but we're guessing and operating blind; Every survivor's mad as a hatter. What sub-atomic gorgon is lurking past the level of leptons, quarks and such? That's the question that's got the press working. Watcha think, Gustav? We don't ask so much — a report beyond risibility with proof of indivisibility.
"This is the only facility where these particles are produced and sustained long enough for scientific study; no one will dare build another till more knowledge is gained.
"We have here a rare opportunity to make real, scientific history, but must publish to the community a paper explaining all mystery, or else we will be shut down once again, possibly never to be re-opened, with a huge budget deficit by then — all hopes of future funding at an end."
"All right, Hoskins, you've got me on the hook, said Gustav, "I'm willing to take a look."
Thus, Gustav faced man's ultimate trauma, and returned, "… not as a nihilist, an evangelist or some Dalai Lama. You see, what's seen depends upon the man. And though one needs some frame of reference to survive the experience," he said, "mine is not a religious deference. Just let me jot down the math in my head."
Scribbling the answers others died for, equations that would change thought's intention, he said, "You'll find this complete," nothing more, and despite attempted intervention by the press, thanked Hoskins and slipped away to let each interpret in his own way.
Like Perseus with Hermes' magic blade, brought to battle by that same god's cunning, the fleet-footed god of commerce and trade had placed Gustav in the legend's running, but could not assure his use of this tool — Microcosmic medusae killed on sight or left the observer a raving fool.
Yet, he'd help from another divine might — defending goddess of civilized life, true wisdom, purity, reason and home — not Pallas Athena but Kim, his wife, the one from whom he'd said he'd never roam. Reflecting upon her love as his shield availed success no "cutting-edge" could yield.

Every month I feel like there's a new hit iPhone or Android app that everyone refuses to quit talking about. An example of this month's app is none other than Trivia Crack. If you haven't heard of Trivia Crack, or have yet to download it, I am seriously wondering if you even attend San Diego State. But did you guys know there's a real life Trivia Crack at 9 p.m. on Tuesday nights?
Woodstock's Pizza on El Cajon Boulevard holds a trivia night every Tuesday for those who want to prove their knowledge to the real world. Each week, Woodstock's trivia features four rounds, as well as a lightening round where players must text the answer to the announcer the fastest to win. Teams are first come, first served groups and each team must consist of less than six people. The first category of each game is picked by the winning team from the week before, giving them a serious advantage if they come back the week following their win. Every week the categories are different which keeps players constantly guessing.
Trivia nights at Woodstock's are seriously no joke — there's a lot of yelling involved between college students about either the contents of the question, or the answer. When I attended last week, there were about eight teams all competing for first, second, or third place as the top three teams get some sort of prize. Prizes can consist of anything from discounts on food or beverages to small pint glasses.
The first category that week, which was picked by the team who won trivia night the previous week; was World of Warcraft. My team sat there in agony as the announcer listed off questions relating to that topic, none of which myself, nor my team knew anything about. The table next of us, consisting of four guys sharing a pitcher of beer, was super excited about the category — or their beer — as they seemed to know every answer. Somehow we ended up getting two of the questions right, and we were thoroughly amazed because none of us knew any information on the subject.
The next category — Winter Olympic sports — yielded slightly better results but nothing to be too excited about. We ended answering about half of the questions correctly as one of my teammates was an ice-skater in her youth and knew what all the figure-skating jumps were called. Our team got the answer right during the lightening round, but another team was able to text that announcer faster so they received the points.
When the third category was named, I had never been so excited in my life about watching so much television as a child. The category was Spongebob Squarepants, and at that moment, I knew that I was destined to be at Woodstock's that night. I am not ashamed to say that I got every answer right —except for the last one. For future reference, if you're every in a life-or-death trivia situation, the creator of Spongebob is Stephen Hillenburg.
I thought that nothing could bring my team off cloud nine after basically sweeping the last category, until the final trivia category was announced. The final category was geography, which just happened to be everyone's lowest score on Trivia Crack. Our team got half of the answers correct and received neither first, second, nor third place. But there is a silver lining to this story as the Woodstock trivia announcer let everyone who participated in the game that night grab a handful of candy from a box. We may have lost the game of trivia, but we did not leave empty-handed.
If you believe you have mastered Trivia Crack, then try the big leagues just down the street.
what a fun time – had me laughing out loud. Love your humor!!
That was really fun reading Christine. And a good time was had by all!

The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.
The website of Thomas Dambo collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Thomas Dambo does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Thomas Dambo analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Only in exceptional circumstances will a full IP address be submitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Instagram
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the service Instagram. Instagram is a service that may be qualified as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, as well as disseminate such data in other social networks.
The operating company of the services offered by Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding Instagram component of Instagram. During the course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Instagram, Instagram detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, then Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website provided that the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Instagram button or not.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Twitter
On this website, the controller has integrated components of Twitter. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly-accessible microblogging service on which users may publish and spread so-called 'tweets,' e.g. short messages, which are limited to 140 characters. These short messages are available for everyone, including those who are not logged on to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore, Twitter allows you to address a wide audience via hashtags, links or retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component of Twitter. Further information about the Twitter buttons is available under https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During the course of this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the integration of the Twitter component is a retransmission of the contents of this website to allow our users to introduce this web page to the digital world and increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter, Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Twitter component and associated with the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, then Twitter assigns this information to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Twitter receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in on Twitter at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Twitter component or not. If such a transmission of information to Twitter is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Twitter account before a call-up to our website is made.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Thomas Dambo implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact Thomas Dambo.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact Thomas Dambo.
8. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
9. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees.
10. Recipients of personal data
Your personal data will only be transmitted to a third party if permitted by law, if it is necessary for reasons of contractual performance or billing purposes, or if you have given your express consent.
11. Transfer of personal data to a third country or international organisation
We do not transfer personal data to a third country or an international organisation and have no plans to do so in the future.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
15. Complaints to a competent supervisory authority
You have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority regarding the processing of your personal data. You may contact the competent supervisory authority at any time at www.datatilsynet.dk

EV Adoption Study: Billions of Dollars, Thousands of Lives Would Be Saved With Vehicle Electrification
Photo : MikesPhotos on Pixabay
EV adoption can save thousands of lives and the economy, a new study says.
What would happen if EVs replaced a quarter of combustion-engine cars on the road now? A study shows that the United States could save about $17 billion yearly. This savings is by preventing damages due to brought by climate change and air pollution.
That savings could even reach as much as $70 billion yearly. That is if a more aggressive approach is used: if EVs replaced 75 percent of these cars, and renewable energy generation is increased.
Lead researcher Daniel Peters said that vehicle electrification could help prevent countless deaths among Americans annually. He added that the use of EV could also reduce carbon emissions.
Northwestern University researchers made the study. It was recently published in the AGU journal, GeoHealth. The aim was to evaluate the impact of EVs on the U.S. economy and people's lives.
EV adoption saves lives, reduce greenhouse gases
"This study presents a nuanced look at EVs and energy generation and found that EV adoption not only reduces greenhouse gases but saves lives," Daniel Horton, senior author of the study, said.
Researchers combined public health data and climate modeling. They looked at the 2014 data of vehicle fleet and emissions.
It was found that if a quarter of U.S. drivers used electric vehicles in 2014, we would have slowed down carbon dioxide emissions by 250 million tons.
Carbon emissions could damage the environment. The pollutants released by combustion could lead to ground-level ozone. Once these pollutants leave the tailpipes, they interact with the environment. They then cause various health problems.
A good example is nitrogen oxides. It is a product of fossil-fuel combustion. Peters explained that NOx alone could damage respiratory health. It is even more harmful when it interacts with sunlight and volatile organic compounds. Hence, ozone and particulate matter form.
Researches simulated the interaction using a chemistry-climate model, particularly the air changes in air pollutants across the lower 48 states. Varying levels of EV use and renewable energy generation were considered. They then combined the data with that of county health from the U.S. EPA. This method allowed a better evaluation of the impact of air quality changes on health based on each electrification scenario.
The next step was to assign dollar values to the data they were using. They applied the social costs of carbon. It also covered the value of statistical life metrics to the changes in emission results. They were then able to attach tangible value to the outcome of gas emission.
Daniel Peters headed the Northwestern University research team. He was an undergraduate researcher in Horton's laboratory during the research. Now, he is with the Environmental Defense Fund.
Other researchers were from the Boston University School of Public Health and NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. The study was made possible by the support of the Ubben Program for Carbon and Climate Science and the National Science Foundation.

Chef Josh Capon has mastered burgers and seafood, so why not take on Mexican? El Toro Blanco has received a ton of attention since opening in late 2012, and with my love for guacamole and margaritas it's no wonder why I'm a frequent customer at this hotspot. Great food, amazing drinks, cool vibe, and a menu that notes which items contain gluten; El Toro Blanco is fun, delicious, and NOBREAD-approved!..
So what can you eat? To start, you obviously need to order the guacamole and queso. The guacamole is made fresh to order and also served with a trio of salsas. If you binge on the chips and guacamole like I often do, I suggest having the tostada chopped salad as a healthy meal choice. This salad is gluten free UNTIL you add the beef/chicken/shrimp. So if you order this, order it nomeat and nofish, OR ask for the meat/fish to be prepared gluten free. The tacos at El Toro are gluten free and served on corn tortillas. The fish, octopus, lobster, and shrimp tacos are noted on the menu as containing gluten, but this is just due to the sauce used on the fish and they can easily be done without the sauce! Also, the ground beef, pork, and roast chicken, tacos ARE 100% NOBREAD-approved. My friends and I ordered the shrimp and chicken tacos and loved them both! Upon hearing we were craving steak, our waitress offered us steak tacos, which weren't on the menu, and these may have been our favorite! I also recommend checking out the ceviche. The lobster and snapper ceviches are gluten-free; I had the lobster and it was delicious. Lastly, you can't go to a Mexican restaurant and not order the street corn! This side dish is the perfect supplement to round out your meal.
El Toro Blanco is also great for brunch, especially when it is nice out. Outdoor tables line 6th Avenue and with its location right across from Da Silvano, this little corner can be quite the scene on sunny days. For brunch, classic Mexican dishes including the chilaquiles con huevos, huevos rancheros, enchiladas, steak & eggs, and Mexican omelette are gluten-free and will satisfy your Mexican food craving… and hangover.


Standing in a Spanish Doorway: "Belgian-Canadian student faces up to 8 years in prison after protest in Hungary"
"Belgian-Canadian student faces up to 8 years in prison after protest in Hungary"
"A Belgian-Canadian university student and DiEM25 member is facing up to eight years of jail-time after being arrested during a spontaneous protest in front of the Hungarian Parliament on the evening of December 12.
Adrien Beauduin, a PhD student in Gender Studies at Central European University, was arrested along with four other protesters, who are all being charged with collective assault on a public official. Police charges allege that all five who were arrested, including Beauduin, used their left arm to strike a police officer and then kicked in the direction of a police officer.
According to videos and photos from the event, as well as witnesses present, Beauduin did not attack any police officers. Available video footage of the demonstration shows him standing calmly before being swept up when police charged the crowd.
If found guilty of the police charges Beauduin will face a prison sentence ranging from a minimum of two years to a maximum of eight years."

Cars back on 500 Main next week? That's the goal
By: Jeff Russo
The latest stage of the "Cars Sharing Main Street Project" is almost complete in downtown Buffalo. Cars and trucks may be heading back to the 500 Block of Main Street as early as next week.
"We're getting close," Doug Hartmayer, the Director of Public Affairs for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority tells 7 Eyewitness News Anchor Jeff Russo.
Hartmayer says the legal department from the NFTA was scheduled to discuss the memorandum of agreement with officials from the City of Buffalo on Monday in one of the final steps before vehicular traffic returns to the 500 Block. "Dotting the I's and crossing the T's and if all goes well I think it's the goal and wish that maybe we can give the citizens of Buffalo an early Christmas present and have traffic on Main Street by some point next week," said Hartmayer.
The NFTA recently completed it's safety hazard analysis for the 500 block and has been given it's final ok from the Public Transportation Safety Board to move forward. "It's the next logical step for revitalization of downtown," said Hartmayer.
The City of Buffalo has been working with Buffalo Place Inc. and the NFTA on the multi-phase project. The goal is to return two-way traffic to Main Street. The project has included updating the sidewalks and adding new short-term parking for visitors to downtown. Construction on the 500 block of Main Street started in the fall of 2013 and according the the City of Buffalo website cost $21 million.
Similar work has already been completed on the 600 and 700 blocks.

Every year people max out their credit cards on Christmas gifts, decorations and food.
Then, in January, when the bills start piling up in the mail box, they realize they have created a financial fiasco that they have no means of getting out of.
For over 17 years, I was a single parent. There wasn't much money to spend at Christmas, and so buying decorations was positively out.
However, I was determined that our house would be festively decorated for the holidays.
Near the end of November, my daughter and I would take a walk in the woods with a pair of sharp shears in hand and a burlap sack over our shoulders.
We would cut long and short evergreen boughs and pick up acorns and pinecones.
The things we collected would be baked in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit to rid them of any bugs. Then, we'd use those things to make garland, swags and wreaths.
We'd accent the greenery with berries and nuts. We would also add red bows for embellishment. Our home looked much like the homes did at Christmas during the Victorian era.
My daughter had a Raggedy Ann doll. Every year we collected a stack of children's Christmas books.
We placed them on the old, oak sideboard that I'd inherited from my grandmother.
We would sit Raggedy Ann on top of those books.
There she would sit to preside over the Christmas activities.
Candles were always part of our Christmas decor.
I studied candle making terminology and learned how to make candles, so I could make them early in the year.
Long before they were popular, I poured homemade candles into Mason jars and tied a piece of ribbon or twine around the mouth of the jar.
During the Christmas season, we would light these candles and enjoy the ambiance they created.
Every year I made a fresh evergreen wreath to place on the front door.
Each year it was different.
The basic concept was the same — evergreen affixed to the wreath form, but then I would decorate with acorns, pinecones, feathers, bird nests, cranberries and other items from nature to make it unique.
Then, a bow would be added for a splash of color.
The mantle was also decorated with evergreen garland and red bows.
In the center of the mantle, I placed a large, clear glass bowl and put shiny, glass Christmas ornaments inside it.
On each side of the bowl, I put a homemade pillar candle. Behind the bowl, I placed 3 taper candles of different heights.
We didn't have decorations for the windows, so we hung either Christmas ornaments or shiny, metal cookie cutters from the center of the window frame, using ribbon.
Small wreaths made of evergreen, nuts and pinecones will also give your windows a festive look.
The week before Christmas, my daughter and I would drive out to my grandfather's farm. The entire family congregated there for a day of Christmas tree cutting.
Grandpa would hook the team of horses to either the wagon or the sleigh, depending on the weather, and we would travel to the back of the farm where there was a forest of evergreens. Our Christmas tree was always a pine tree.
Grandpa would place it in the trunk and fasten it securely for the drive back to town. Once the tree was in the tree stand and securely fastened so it wouldn't topple, it would be decorated with Victorian paper chains, strings of popcorn, and cranberries. Then, pinecones would be attached with red or green ribbon and dried fruit garland. The finished product was always beautiful.
It can actually be quite enjoyable to decorate your home on a budget; give it a try. You'll have fun searching for all the items of nature.
In the end, you will enjoy a very thrifty Christmas with a beautifully decorated home.

Chances are that you've done a workout you found on YouTube or Instagram or booked an upcoming doctor's appointment from your phone (likely while standing in line waiting for that never-ending kid activity to actually end.)
And while the convenience factor can't be beat, it also illustrates the role that tech plays in health and wellness–with digital health a hot topic these days. Read on for a look at how particular aspects of technology, like apps, are helping to change the patient experience.
APPS AND MORE
Most people don't have to go further than their primary care doctor's office to see ways in which technology has impacted patient care—from being able to make the appointment online to the physician using electronic medical records to asking follow-up questions via email.
"We are completely electronic," says Adeeti Gupta, MD, FACOG, the founder and CEO of Walk in GYN Care, a women's health clinic with multiple locations in New York City. She explains that patients can fill out forms, make appointments and communicate with their doctor through their website and a secure patient portal.
And outside the office, there are tons of health and wellness apps—more than 300,000 of them, according to some reports. While many are for consumers, like the popular MyFitnessPal and Calm, others are geared towards physicians and healthcare workers.
"Apps can be extremely helpful with patient care," says Gail Fennell, MD, an internal medicine physician at Greenwich Hospital, in Greenwich, CT, who has a concierge practice with Northeast Medical Group in Rye Brook, NY—both part of Yale New Haven Health. She notes that apps run the gamut—from stress reduction and biofeedback to weight loss. "They provide a tool for patients to document their habits in real time and they are generally easily reviewed when visiting with the doctor," she says.
Some that she uses in her practice include Headspace, a meditation app, for stress and anxiety; Pzizz for sleep, nap and focus; and Inner Balance for biofeedback. "Patients are generally very open to apps once you narrow things down for them a bit," she says. "The app world is enormous and overwhelming if you just start clicking." Plus, she'll often ask patients what they're using—and recommend popular ones to other patients.
As for those that physicians use, Christopher Davison, MD, the medical director of Emergency Medicine at Greenwich Hospital points to Epic, the electronic medical record used at hospitals and physician offices across the Yale New Haven Health network; and Haiku, the Epic application that allows caregivers access to Epic through a personal device. For example, he explains one of the most common uses is in the emergency room where, for instance, "if a patient has a wound or a rash, a clinical photo can be taken and uploaded into a patient's medical record. This app facilitates communication and helps improve care, he says.
He also likes Mobile Heartbeat, an app that is used across units and clinicians that "allows direct communication between clinicians to call or text regarding patients," he says—as well as to check lab results and data, all from a device.
And there are some apps that work somewhere in between, like HealthSnap, which Jan Zislis, M.D., FACEP, uses at his concierge medical practice, Modern Medical, in Purchase, NY. Zislis subscribes to the platform and then provides patients access. Together, they're able to create a profile for the patient and track everything from sleep to weight to exercise. He says that it gives both him and the patient "an interactive approach to their wellness."
Technology—and the patient experience— also play a role in concierge medicine. Zislis explains that the relationship between a doctor and patient is different in concierge medicine—and that a concierge doctor will act as a trusted medical source and friend, advocate for the patient, and help them navigate medical needs.
Usually, patients pay a monthly or annual membership fee—which isn't covered by insurance—that provides them with things like 24/7 access to their doctor, a quick turnaround time for appointments and unhurried visits, says Zislis. The process is explained on his website. In his practice, services can range from home visits to prescription maintenance.
Of her concierge practice, Fennell says: depending on the circumstance." She says that as the sole provider in her practice, she knows her patients extremely well. "This type of relationship allows me to have a better understanding of their entire physical picture—their physical and mental health, but also work, family and social stressors, and anything else that might impact their well-being," she explains.
Technology is an integral part of the picture. As Fennell mentions, her patients can email or text her at any time—she's even had a patient text her with an issue while in Africa. They can also do things like send her photos, which might mean the ability to skip an in-office visit, she says. Zislis echos that technology, "allows for almost immediate electronic communications with the physician, as well as virtual visits through FaceTime or Skype."
But while technology is important in today's health and wellness landscape, there are still some important points to keep in mind. "Technology can be a great thing, but like everything, it needs to be used correctly," says Fennell. "It is not a replacement for medical advice, but rather a supplement to engage, support and educate patients."
For example, while electronic medical records—and the computers they're stored on—are helpful for organization and streamlining patient information, Fennell says, "they can interfere with patient care at times. They have multiple screens that require navigating through to find the information needed, which is a distraction. They can also be a physical barrier between the physician and the patient." In her concierge practice, for example, though she uses an electronic medical record, it doesn't come in the room when she's with a patient.
And with apps, sometimes patients might rely too heavily on them, says Gupta. She points to menstrual and fertility tracking apps, which can make people think they're ovulating, for example, when they might not be. "This can create extra anxiety amongst patients if [they] completely rely on an app telling them what to do," she says.
Still, the role of technology has a lot of positives. Says Fennell: "From the patient's perspective, I think they are comforted at knowing that I truly know everything about them and that I am just a text away, no matter where in the world they are."

Q: How can I extract the text from a variable with Selenium WebDriver? If I use "Inspect Element" on FireFox, I see this:
<span class="stock-number-value ng-binding">17109 </span>
When I use driver.getSource(), that 17109 is replaced by "vehicle.attributes.stockNumber".
My main goal is to use the driver to get whatever value is stored by vehicle.attributes.stockNumber, but I can't figure out how to get the contents of that variable using Selenium.

A: I suspect you are getting the source too early in the process while the angular is not yet ready and the bindings are not yet data-feeded. I'd use a custom wait condition function to wait for the "stock" to have a numeric value:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 510);
WebElement stock = wait.until(waitForStock(By.cssSelector(".stock-number-value")));
System.out.println(stock.getText());

where waitForStock is something along these lines:
public static ExpectedCondition<Boolean> waitForStock(final By locator) {
  return new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {
    @Override
    public Boolean apply(WebDriver driver) {
      try {
        WebElement elm = driver.findElement(locator);
        return elm.getText().trim().matches("[0-9]+");
      } catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
        return false;
      } catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
        return false;
      }
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "stock is not yet loaded";
    }
  };
}

Twister Sisters Before the Storm: West Virginia pt. 3

Share All sharing options for: Twister Sisters Before the Storm: West Virginia pt. 3
Last Time Out
Iowa State closed the regular season against these same Mountaineers, notching conference win no. 14. That's a school record for those of you keeping track at home. It wasn't the prettiest of games, as ISU scored just 10 points in the first quarter and faced an early deficit. Once the Twister Sisters got the lead, they did not look back. Emily Ryan went crazy in the third quarter, scoring 29 points in total on 10-12 shooting to go with 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Ashley Joens had 12 points and 9 rebounds, while Lexi Donarski had 11 points of her own to go with 6 boards.
About West Virginia
West Virginia got the 7 seed in the Big 12 tournament, defeating TCU 66-48 last night. The Mountaineers are playing their best basketball of the season, winners of 4 out of their last 5. They have started taking care of the ball a lot better and taking more quality shots. Their recent flip of a switch even gave ISU some fits early last weekend. You know the cliche, it's tough to beat a team three times. That will be the case today.
Opponent Player to Watch
With Kirsten Deans still out, WVU has been looking for a new leader each night. This time around, I'm looking at freshman guard Ja'Naiya Quinerly. She has been very solid for West Virginia all year long, averaging nearly 9 points per game as her role has increased. Quinerly is a very young and exciting player that could easily make some freshman mistakes that the Cyclones will look to force. Last night, she led the team with 16 points. This is March, players get hot and stay hot. In two games against Iowa State, she has gotten her season average of 8+ points each time.
What Will Happen

Kallar Kahar
Kallar Kaharahsan4pak2017-05-15T17:19:08+00:00
Understand:
Kallar Kahar is a subdivision (Tehsil) of Chakwal District in Punjab, Pakistan. It is famous for a natural garden of loquat trees on mountains with beautiful species of peacocks, Salt Water KalarKahar Lake, Takt-e-Babri, Bagh-e-Safa and Shrine of the grandson of Abdul QadirGilllani. It is considered as tourist destination located 25 kilometers southwest of Chakwal along the motorway (M2).
In 1519 AD, Mughal Emperor Babar passing by this valley for his concurring quest for Sub Continent was so inspired by it and ordered the construction of a garden, "Bagh-e-Safa". In the mid of garden, on top of the hill, a flat stage was carved out of stones to address the army, which is called "Takt-e-Babri". Emperor described Kallar Kahar in his memories as a "charming place with good air".
Talk (Rumor):
It is said that some girls were sitting on the bank of Kallar Kahar lake, while a Sufi, an old religious person came and ask them regarding water taste. At that time, the taste of water was pure. However after lie of girls that the water is salty; the water taste has changed to salty.
Get In:
The ways to get in Kallar Kahar are:
By Motorway (M2):
From Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan, the beautiful valley is approximately 150 kilometers away and can be reached in less than three hours through Lahore-Islamabad Motorway (M2).
Salt Water Kalar Kahar Lake:
The lake is famous for its Salt Water and spreads over an area of 8 kilometers with maximum depth 4-5 feet. Usually, people come here to enjoy pedal boating, motor boating and to spend picnics and holidays.
Takt-e-Babri:
It is a flat stage, constructed by carving stones on the top of the hill to address the army by Mughal Emperor Babar while his rest during a march for the conquering quest for Sub Continent.
Bagh-e-Safa:
Baber describes it as "charming place with good air" and ordered to lay out the garden, Bagh-e Safa on the southwest side of the lake. Traces of this garden still exist, like a rock-cut platform (Takht-i Babri).
Shrines of Hazrat Hoo Bahoo and grandson of Abdul Qadir Gillani:
As per engraved marble piece in the shrine, the group of Muslims visited Hazrat Abdul QadirGilani to request for help against Hindus, who were troubling Muslims while performing religious duties. On the request, Hazrat Abdul RazaqGillani, the son of Hazrat Abdul QadirGilani ordered his two sons to take companions to help Muslims in that region to strengthen their power. While a fight with Hindus, Muslims were succeeding but with the sacrifices with the life of both grandsons of Abdul QadirGilani. They were buried on the top of the hill and today, thousands of religious scholars have visited their shrines to show solidarity because those who fought for good faith and Allah always remain in the world.
Katas Temple Complex:
The Hindu Temple is located on the main road leading from Lake Kallar Kahar to Choa Saidan. Built in the 9th-11th century when the Salt Range was part of the powerful Hindu Kingdom of Kashmir. It is considered the second largest holy place for Hindus in Punjab, Pakistan after Jawala Mukhi.

Swaik Lake is famous for a natural waterfall, crystal clear water with tiny fishes, cliff diving, swimming, and trekking.
