Livin' in Fast Forward: 10 Years Later
A few weeks ago, I was playing MASH with my sister. She's 12 and apparently MASH is now on your iPod touch, not binder paper (man, am I behind the times or what?). When we'd finished, I was living in an Apartment with Ryan Gosling with 11 children. Nav was less than pleased.
It really got me thinking, what will my life look like in 10 years? We all try to visualize where we'll be and what we'll be doing (especially us planners out there).
Here's what I'm hoping:
I'm married to this handsome guy. He's still making me laugh, teaching me about all kinds of random stuff, continuing to turn me into a tech nerd, and making me feel special every single day. And now he's a big shot finance guy. I'm still in love with him and I still feel just as lucky as I always have.
We have 3 beautiful, half-Persian children (working on 4?). What does a half-Persian child look like, I wonder? We could not be more opposite. This kid is a genetic crapshoot. But they'll be cute, for sure. And brilliant (all Nav). And if Archie is any indication, very used to having a camera shoved in their faces.
We live in a small-ish house that started as a starter home but wound up being our home home. Maybe the kids have to share rooms or something. It builds character. Plus I hate big houses.
We're pretty conservative with money and we live on a lot less than we have to. Our retirement is looking good already, as are our kids college savings accounts.
I've gotten better at photography. Like a lot better. I know stuff about aperture and exposure, white balance and ISO, and I always shoot in manual (that's what photographers do, right?).
I've learned how to run or at the very least, have adopted some other athletic type hobby. How about cycling? Yes, cycling sounds fun.
My student loans are paid off. Completely. And have been for some time.
I either have a masters degree, am working on a masters degree, or am thinking about a masters degree. Public Administration? Public Policy?
I've probably stuck around in the non-profit world. I just can't get enough of those feel good warm fuzzies that non-profit work brings you. And the fighting for something to change the world. Yes, it feels too good to give up.
Archie is approaching his old man years and is now referred to as "Archibald," his designated old man name. His face is white but his heart is gold and we love him dearly. Maybe he has a little golden sister?
We live in northern Virginia, maybe? Or Pennsylvania? Somewhere that the public school system is good and we undoubtedly pay a crap ton in property taxes.
We get to see our families more. Every summer we send the kids to Camp Grandma and Papa in Maine (for a month? yes, how about a month) and my parents take them hiking, kayaking, and venturing about in the Maine wilderness.
And most importantly, I hope for health. For everyone in my family. You can't necessarily plan for it and it's not something you dream of but I hope like crazy we're all healthy.
But most of all, we're happy.
Is that too much to ask?
I'm not naive. I know it won't go this way.
But a girl can dream, right?
And hey, maybe my idea of happiness will change 82 times before then and someday I'll look back at this and be like "wow, that's really what I wanted?"
Such is the nature of life.
For now, this is what I daydream about.
What do you daydream about?
What would your life look like in fast forward?

PlayStation: Launching a console during a pandemic "is a massive challenge on every front"
PlayStation reveals its first PlayStation 5 ad
Feature by Christopher Dring Head of Games B2B
Published on Aug. 20, 2020
PlayStation has debuted its first PlayStation 5 ad, which makes the pitch that the next generation is all about how games "feel".
That's been the case since the start with PS5. This new console will be less about how nice games look -- we've been seeing diminishing returns in that department with each passing generation -- but rather how they will sound, how it will feel to use the controller, and how fast it all is.
You saw that in Sony's big PS5 reveal in June, and you can see it in this TV ad, which opens with the line: "Welcome to a world where you can feel more."
There is one considerable drawback with all this. Nobody can feel the PS5 right now. Sony can't take the console and its controller -- aptly titled DualSense -- to PAX or Gamescom or EGX. It can't take it on shopping mall tours or put demo stations into shops.
"It's a massive challenge on every front," says Eric Lempel, SVP and head of global marketing at Sony Interactive Entertainment. "Not just for the parts of the organisation that I oversee, but for all parts of the organisation. The nice thing is that we're pulling it together. We will launch this year -- that will happen -- and from my end we will absolutely make sure that we will bring all of the magic and all of the excitement of launches that we have had in the past.
"We are still committed to doing that. It's more challenging than ever, but our gamers expect a lot from us. It's a chance to celebrate the beginning of a new generation. This spot kicks off PlayStation 5 marketing efforts, and this is just the beginning. So you can see this as the initial entry. Hopefully it looks high quality, hopefully it captures the imagination of the viewer, and from here, it just gets bigger and better."
He continues: "If the world was in a normal place, we would be out there with demo stations at different events, with the ability for consumers to touch the product and interact with it, and really understand what we are talking about. The challenge, early on, became how do we try to express this with a spot, and at the same time, how do we create a spot given the current limitations presented by the global pandemic? So this was a challenge on all fronts for us.
"We will absolutely make sure that we bring all of the excitement and magic of launches that we've had in the past"
"The genesis of this is that we're moving into a new generation, and to us generations matter. It's a chance to raise the expectations from players and gamers, and really introduce something new. So for this spot in particular, we focused on three distinct areas: the haptic feedback, the adaptive dynamic triggers, and 3D audio. And we wanted to show what it would be like to be in the middle of all that."
The ad is certainly unique. It is almost entirely computer generated, with an actor who was filmed in her home for part of it. It was then created by different people from around the world, with the marketing team in one place, the director in another, and was then worked on by over 70 artists from a range of different visual effects disciplines. Anyone that has seen the making of Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian will have a good idea of how this was made.
"We really had to change how we do things," says Lempel. "If we weren't in the current situation, we would probably have produced a slightly different type of spot. This is going to become the new way of the world for the foreseeable future, and a lot of us had to adapt and shift and get innovative and creative. Although it is not the situation we would want in a launch year, we are pretty happy with how we've been able to pivot and create something like this."
The ad itself has been designed to try and convey a feeling to consumers. The crack of the ice, drawing back the bow, the firing of a rocket; it's all done through careful use of sound and imagery, but it's quite effective. And it's in aid of promoting three of PS5's features -- haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D audio -- that are central to Sony's vision for the new console.
"Just looking at the product, and talking to developers, and hearing from them about what makes PlayStation 5 special, there are a lot of things that they are excited about, but these three things are a major step change to where we've been in the past with interactive entertainment," Lempel says.
"I will add that this is probably the most literal part of the campaign, where we're really deliberately talking and trying to convey with feeling different parts of the product. There will be other parts of the campaign that will be much broader and generate the excitement of the world of interactive entertainment that PlayStation can bring you. We felt like this was a good way to kick off specifically talking about PlayStation 5 and what's different, and these three things are part of the big differences. There are more beyond this of course."
The PS5 campaign kicks off this week with a teaser showcasing the console's new technology
Lempel also plans to use developers talking about these features and what they bring to the games: "Talking with the Demon's Souls team, they've found that they could take simple things that were really not exciting moments in games in the past, and turn them into a sensory experience by using these features. It's something they're saying that the features of the past couldn't do in any way -- couldn't replicate the feeling of, in their words, opening a gate, or striking metal, or fire crackling in your hand. Those are the types of things that were kind of secondary in the past, but they've been brought to the forefront to immerse the player into the games in a bigger way."
Outside of the COVID restrictions making this a unique challenge for PlayStation, this is also the first hardware launch under the new company structure. In the past, PlayStation launches happened in individual territories, with different country teams creating and running their own ads and slogans. Beginning with the Spider-Man launch on PS4 in 2018, Sony now creates global campaigns that get localised for individual markets. This means the ad we're seeing here will be replicated around the globe, and the tagline "Play Has No Limits" will be the brand line everywhere.
"In recent years we've globalised the company in a number of ways, and one of the things that we wanted to do in anticipation of going into the next generation of consoles was to create one single unified brand line," Lempel says. "It's really important because good lines will stand the test of time, and will become a big part of the company's brand and communication.
"I would say that this is the best line-up that we've ever seen in the history of PlayStation"
"We worked for a long time on this and really thought about what type of line could we use that will resonate globally, and naturally it will be translated and localised to all the different languages around the world... But what is the sentiment that we want to pass along that really represents the ambition we have as PlayStation, and really represents the products that we offer? So that is how we came up with Play Has No Limits.
"We feel it leans into a little bit of everything we do as PlayStation. We are always pushing the boundaries -- that is one of the tenets of our brand -- we are always looking to deliver new and exciting experiences, and this is a line that really shows that we are not going to stop doing that."
Although clearing up and simplifying that marketing message seems to makes sense, Sony's previous approach to marketing did have its upsides. It meant the company could tailor its offering to individual territories in ways that its competitors could not. The challenge for Lempel and his team is to combine the benefits of centralisation with the local touch that has served the company so well in the past.
"It's different. We will have a lot of local executions to complement these bigger campaigns and bigger spots. And you will see in some of the subsequent parts of the campaign, there will be really big assets that in the past that we probably wouldn't have done because the activity would have been divided up amongst the different parts of the world... We think we are in a good place, and people are going to be excited about what they will see."
Going forward, we can expect the PS5 campaign to switch to areas outside of things like 3D audio and adaptive triggers, and towards more traditional elements. Namely: the games themselves.
"Once you get beyond all of the features of the PlayStation 5, which makes it a true next-generation product, It's about the content," Lempel concludes. "The content that will be in the launch window and beyond is incredibly exciting. I would say that this is the best line-up that we've ever seen in the history of PlayStation, between our Worldwide Studios groups and our partners from all the different publishers around the world. We've revealed some of that content, and naturally there will be more to come, but the way that the developers can engage with this platform, and create these new experiences with known IP as well as unknown IP, is incredibly exciting."

EU commission to map gender recognition
The European Commission is probing issues around gender recognition (Photo: Kuba Bożanowski)
By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS, 26. Feb, 16:22
The European Commission is set to map out how EU states recognise genders as part of a wider effort to advance the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people.
Speaking at an event in Brussels on Tuesday (26 February), a senior commission official said the move will be presented at the end of March, in a report to the European Parliament.
"For the first time ever we will have a new category, where we will map the situation in the member states," said Irena Moozova, equality director at the European Commission.
Also known as the binary gender recognition procedure without medical requirement, the category seeks to help people who do not identify with the biological definition of male or female.
Once mapped, the commission may then issue specific recommendations for the member states to ease people's choices on how they see themselves.
ILGA-Europe, a Brussels-based NGO, said people should have the free will to choose their identities without having to resort to invasive surgeries.
Micah Grzywnowicz, ILGA-Europe board co-chair, said some laws in Europe need reform when it comes to legal gender recognition.
"We are talking about forced sterilisation, that is still present in [some] legislation, when people want to access gender recognition," she said, speaking alongside Moozova.
Sweden had a sterilisation requirement up until 2013, a practice described the United Nations as inhumane treatment. Sweden's parliament last year adopted a new law allowing sterilised transgender people to now seek financial compensation.
Serbia, meanwhile, still requires people to get sterilised.
Things appear more progressive elsewhere. Scotland last year backed a new law to allow people to self-declare gender.
Spain had also prepared a draft law last year, since stalled, to recognise people who don't see themselves as either male or female, also defined as non-binary. Germany has also opened up, allowing intersex people to legally identify themselves as such.
"You are the right person to decide who you are and how to live your life," said Grzywnowicz, noting that minors should also be able to choose.
The commission's announcement follows a European parliament resolution passed earlier this month on intersex people.
It also follows ILGA-Europe's annual review, published on Tuesday, on the state of human rights of LGBTI people.
It looked at trends across 51 countries, noting among other things, the difficulties faced by LGBTI refugees and asylum-seekers.

Hungary and Poland: EU capitals of homophobia
Another 100 years to wait for gender equality? No thanks
From same-sex marriage in Malta to horrors in Azerbaijan - survey shows huge disparities on gay rights in Europe, amid "stagnating" progress and populist threats.
Authorities in EU countries can no longer impose controversial psychological tests to determine whether an aslyum seeker is telling the truth about their homosexuality.
Hungary and Poland have come out as the EU capitals of homophobia by boycotting a gay rights declaration.
In the last decade, we have begun to witness a visible and organised backlash in gender equality and human rights across Europe.

Note: current model is black with gray top.
This bag only works as a handlebar bag with it's sewn-in straps, unlike the 2223 bag which will work as either a handlebar bag or seat bag, but requires a separate adapter. For a larger handlebar bag, look at our Junk Drawer H-Bag (# 3335-KIT) or the RandoBag 6.8 with an adapter (# 2268-KIT).
FEATURES—Two straps (Velcro-like material) for attaching to your handlebars and one that goes around the head tube or stem. It also has a pair of webbing loop "rings" for carrying as a shoulder bag.
MAIN COMPARTMENT—Holds a small jacket, arm warmers, repair kit and snacks. It has a horseshoe-shaped zipper.
OUTSIDE POCKET—The outside zippered pocket is a good spot to store cash and I.D. It will hold the optional vinyl wallet (# 4915). Also included is a lanyard for your keys.
CONSTRUCTION—The exterior of the bag is constructed of rugged 400-denier Nylon Pack cloth or 420-denier Ripstop Nylon fabric (with a water-repellent coating on the inside of the fabric — we don't use cheap polyester fabrics like some imported bags). The main compartment has heavy-duty #8 water-repellent zipper. The outside of bag has reflective strips for use in dim light or night riding.
COLOR CHOICES—Our current model is now predominantly black with a dark gray top. Also we have omitted the silver-colored compression strap, substituting an internal framesheet instead.

A japán Kamakura-korszak (1185–1333) kezdetén megalakult az első sógunátus, melynek élén a sógun állt. A sógunátus első fővárosa Kamakura, császári székhelye pedig Kiotó volt. Az országot ebben a korszakban háborúskodás és széttagoltság jellemezte. Ez teljesen rányomta bélyegét a korban született alkotásokra. A kor irodalmában a művek alapvető eleme a mulandóság, ez vonul végig minden ekkor keletkezett művön. Ekkor alakult ki a katarimono (elmesélő mű) és a vakan konkóbun (japán-kínai vegyes stílus) is.

Epika

Gunki monogatari

A kor epikus művei az állandó háborúskodást és harcokat írják le, ezek legnépszerűbb műfaja a háborús történeteket elbeszélő gunki monogatari. E történetek szájhagyomány útján terjedtek úgy, hogy vak vándorszerzetesek az országot járva adták elő biva lant kíséretében. A történetek folyamatosan formálódtak, széles körben elterjedtek, majd a buddhista szerzetesek le is jegyezték e műveket, hogy fennmaradhassanak az utókor számára. A korszak legjelentősebb alakja Kamo no Csómei (japánul: 鴨 長明, Hepburn-átírással: Kamo no Chōmei)volt, aki vakadokoro, vagyis költői akadémia tagjaként alkotott.

A négy híres gunki

Hógen monogatari
A Hógen háború története. 1156 és 1158 közötti időszakot meséli el, Szutoku császár és öccse, Gosirakava császár trónöröklési harcát mutatja be.

Heidzsi monogatari
A Heidzsi háború története. Ezt az előbb említett mű folytatásának tekintik. 1159 és 1160 közötti harcot írja le, amelyben Taira Kijomori került szembe Minamoto Josimotóval.

Heike monogatari
A Heikék története. A mű az 1223 és 1240 közötti időszakot örökíti meg, elmondja nekünk, hogyan vette kézbe Taira Kijomori a Japán feletti uralmat.

Genpei szeiszuki
A Gendzsi és Heike nemzetségek felemelkedése és bukása. A két család viszályát tárja elénk 1160 és 1185 közötti korszakból.

Líra

Vakaköltészet

A japán irodalomban a Kamakura-korszak alkotásai nem jelentettek újítást, mert a régi és klasszikus költészetet vették alapul. A versekben a múlt költőitől is idéztek, ez a költői kifejezőeszköz a honkadori volt, nem pedig plágium. 1201-ben Gotoba császár újból megalapította a wakadokorót. A kor szépségeszménye a júgen volt. A korszak legfontosabb alakja Szaigjó Hósi(japánul: 西行法師, Hepburn-átírással: Saigyō Hōshi), aki később nagy hatással volt Macuo Basóra(japánul: 松尾 芭蕉, Hepburn-átírással: Matsuo Bashō).

A korszakban nagyon elterjedt az imajó uta műfaja is, melyben a két strófa 7,5,7,5 morás sorokból áll.

Q: SQL max function get other tables I have a simple relation "sea" with only two columns, one is called "name" and the other "depth". With the following command, I can output the number maximum number in the attribute depth:
SELECT max(depth) FROM sea;

I am trying to get the the name of the maximum depth as well, such that it outputs:
    name | depth
___________________
pacific  | 11034

Is there a way to output that as well?
I have tried it with group by and also by trying to JOIN the table with itself receiving the other attributes, that did not find any solution.

A: Use order by:
select s.*
from sea s
order by s.depth desc
fetch first 1 row only;

Note:  Some databases do not support fetch -- the standard SQL syntax -- so you might use limit or select top (1) or some similar construct.
The above returns exactly one row, even if there are ties.  If you want all rows, then a simple method is a subquery:
select s.*
from seas s
where s.depth = (select max(s2.depth) from seas s2);

The Taurus may have the tendency to develop cold, coughs and sore throats. Their ENT systems as well as their digestive systems are quite vulnerable. Other ailments that may afflict them include obesity, tonsillitis and goitre. Since, the Bulls love their food, and a lot of movement is really not a desirable activity for them, they may become tardy and overweight. Besides, muscle tension may also lead to inflamed and sore neck muscles in them.
The Bulls need to eat foods that are beneficial for the thyroid gland. Their food needs a pinch of iodized salt. Pumpkins, cauliflower, cucumber, peas, almonds are good for them. They should lay off starchy, sugary and fatty foods that may increase their weight. For snacks, they may go for celery. They can have meat for gaining strength. Don't give up the chocolate and goodies otherwise you'll feel deprived. Just be sensible and cut back on the amounts.
The Bulls have a pleasing face, plump features with full sensual lips. The face is usually oval with a prominent middle part. The nose is rounded and upturned. Their complexion is fair and they have thick, shiny hair. The body is well-proportioned. They take their appearance seriously and wear stylish clothes with good taste. They carry themselves with grace. The whole physique gives an impression of elegance with some degree of strength at the same time.
The Bulls usually have a soft skin, and blue colour would really suit them. Floral scarves look good on them, as do bright lipstick and nail-polish. They are sensuous people and look great in outfits of pastel colours such as light violet, pink or yellow. They should be conscious about walking gracefully. They are very choosy and take time to decide what they are going to wear, even if it is for an evening walk. They love to look good and will give a lot of thought to their clothes. Mostly, it is expensive stuff. Vedic Astrology has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to analysing one's personality and prospects in life.


When the nice guys from LG's Israeli public relations office reach out and offer to send an OLED TV for a review - you say yes. Naturally, I graciously accepted and received a new 65" OLEDB6 TV. Here's my hands-on review of LG's new TV.
The OLEDB6 was launched in early 2016, and is actually LG's entry-level OLED TV for 2016, alongside the curved OLEDC6. The B6 features a flat 4K WRGB (WOLED-CF) OLED panel, LG's latest WebOS 3.0 operation system, HDR support and LG's Color Prime Pro technology. The TV does not support 3D, but strangely LG did bundle a couple of passive 3D glasses with the TV. The B6 comes in two sizes - 55" and 65".
Towards the end of October 2015, Workrite Ergonomics launched their first OLED lamp, the Natural OLED desk light. The Natural uses a single 320x110 mm OLED panel produced by LG (the N6BB40C panel). This panel offers 442 lumens at 13.7 W (32 lm/W), a high CRI (94) and a neutral white light - 3900K. The lifetime of the Natural is rated at 30,000h (LT70) at the lowest brightness setting. The Natural is now shipping for $239.
The nice guys at Workrite were kind enough to send us a desk lamp for a review here at OLED-Info. I gave the lamp to our very own Roni Peleg to try out and write this review, which you can read below.
Towards the end of 2014, Home Depot started to offer several Acuity Brands OLED luminaries, with prices starting at $199. This was exciting - as these are the cheapest OLED lamps ever, and it is the first time OLEDs are offered at a major retail channel.
The nice guys at Acuity Brands sent me a Chalina 5-panel OLED luminaire (wall-mountable version) for a review here at OLED-Info. So first of all I want to thank Acuity for this. I will post a short review, focusing mostly on my experiences with this lamp, and people's reaction to it.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Note Edge back in September 2014 - the company's first mass market flexible OLED phone. The Nice guys at Samsung Israel sent us a review unit a few weeks ago - and here's our hands-on review.
As always this is not a full phone review - we leave those to the experts and for people that actually love mobile phones. We will focus on the display - and our experiences of having this device for a few days. The first part is written by Ron, and then Roni will give her own views.
Garmin defines the Vivosmart as an "activity tracker plus smart notifications", which is really to say "an almost-smartwatch fitness band". Which it is. The Vivosmart is indeed a fitness band that can display steps, calories, distance and all the other fitness staples. On top of that, it can also perform basic smartwatch tasks like receive vibration alerts for phone calls, text messages and emails. How well does it do all those things? We'll get to that.
A few weeks ago, LG Electronics in Israel were kind enough to send me a 55" curved OLED TV (the EA9800, or the 55EA970Y as it is called in Israel) for a review on OLED-Info. So first of all - thanks guys, that was very cool of you!
LG released this OLED TV back in August 2013. It's been reviewed repeatedly since, with one apparent conclusion: that this TV offers the best image quality ever! So to get it out of the way - yes, It really does! The TV, even to my non-professional eyes, offers a superb viewing experience. LG now offers even newer TVs (the 55'' curved FHD 55EC9300 and the 65'' 4K curved 65EC9700) that can supply a superior image quality, but sadly haven't yet arrived in Israel.
A few weeks ago I learned that LG started to market the G Flex smartphone here in Israel. I contacted LGE and they got the Israeli carrier Partner to send me a review unit. First of all - thanks guys!
So I switched phones, left my new GS4 behind and started using the G Flex. Here's a short hands-on review of this phone. Or actually, this isn't a real review - I mostly want to discuss the screen and my experience with this phone. There are many good reviews of this phone online already (here's Engadget's for example). I won't be showing you a video of how it flexes a little - it's been done.
OLED is a unique lighting technology - it enables flat, diffused planar lighting panels. These panels are different to the point (or line) sources we're used to - incandescent, fluorescent, CFLs and LEDs. But you can also use LEDs to build planar lighting panels. Several companies are offering such solutions called edge-lit panels.
Israel's OREE developed proprietary technology that enables them to offer panels which are so thin that they are quite similar to OLED panels in form (almost... more on this below), yet are efficient, very bright and a lot cheaper than current OLEDs. They were kind enough to invite me to their offices for a visit and also sent me a couple of samples for a review.


We provide general restorative dentistry for adults & children & advanced restorative dentistry, involving the latest technology in dental crown & bridgework.
Preventive dentistry can help you to keep your teeth for life. Estetica dental clinic, Chertsey, is committed to the highest standards of quality; we keep one step ahead of the latest advances in the world of dentistry, using the latest materials, equipment and techniques.
Preventive dentistry is the modern way of helping you keep a healthy mouth. It helps you to keep your teeth, and means you need to have less dental treatment. The two main causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better we prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance people have of keeping their teeth for life.
When the dentist, hygienist and patient work together, this can help to prevent the need for treatment and avoid the traditional pattern of fillings and extractions. Your dental team may recommend a course of treatment to get your mouth into good condition, and then work out a 'maintenance plan' to help you keep it that way.
Can everybody benefit from preventive dentistry?
Yes. Preventive dentistry will benefit anyone with some of their own teeth. People who don't have any teeth can also benefit, because conditions such as mouth cancer and denture stomatitis can be spotted during regular visits to the dentist and then treated. It is excellent for children and young people, but it is never too late to start.
use a mouthwash - this can help to freshen your breath. Many mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients to help prevent gum disease, and fluoride to help prevent decay.

UPDATED: Southampton deputy cited for reckless driving in '21 crash
Published 12:15 pm Wednesday, April 13, 2022

The Virginia State Police has cited a Southampton County sheriff's deputy with reckless driving for his role in a 2021 traffic crash.
A VSP press release further noted that this citation was made at the direction of a special prosecutor, the Greensville County commonwealth's attorney.
Deputy Sheriff M.J. Kline was served the summons on April 6.
On June 6, 2021, at approximately 5:52 p.m., Kline was responding to an emergency call for service, the VSP release stated, adding that he was traveling east on Main Street in Courtland with his patrol vehicle's emergency equipment activated.
He approached several vehicles stopped in the eastbound lane, the release stated, noting that while traveling in the westbound lane to pass the vehicles, the police vehicle struck a 2021 Honda Odyssey as it was making a left turn.
The VSP release stated that the driver of the Honda, Lese S. Tupea, 76, was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries, as was Kline.
The crash remains under investigation, the release stated in conclusion, adding that there was no further information to provide at that time.
Southampton County Sheriff Josh A. Wyche Sr. shared a statement via email April 7, noting that a member of "our Southampton County Sheriff's Office Family was cited in regards to carrying out his official duties."
"We, the Southampton County Sheriff's Office Family, support D/S M. Kline and his family during this challenging time," Wyche stated. "In addition, the Southampton County Sheriff's Office Family is keeping Lese S. Tupea and family in our thoughts and prayers."
He said his office will continue to strive to do its very best for the citizens of the county, the city of Franklin and those visiting or passing through.
"In today's society, it is very possible to have to face scrutiny in regards to carrying out the duties of this office, but, I would further like to thank the Virginia State Police for their professional courtesy in handling this matter as we all work together," he stated.
Wyche concluded his statement with praise for Kline and an update on his status.
"Again, the Southampton County Sheriff's Office Family will do our best to support, encourage, strengthen and simply be there for D/S M. Kline, who is still employed and does an excellent job at this agency."
Explaining what comes next for Kline, Virginia State Police Sgt. Michelle Anaya said he must go to court on the charge of reckless driving. She also addressed potential punishment he might face.
"If he is only charged and has not been found guilty, it will be the judge who will decide said punishment," she stated. "The charge of reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor, which is up to a $1,500 fine and/or up to one year in jail."


This new ten minute video from NASA's Orion spacecraft provides viewers with a taste of the intense conditions the spacecraft and astronauts will endure when they return from deep space destinations.
New video recorded during NASA's Orion return through Earth's atmosphere provides viewers a taste of what the vehicle endured as it returned through Earth's atmosphere during its Dec. 5 flight test.
Among the first data to be removed from Orion following its uncrewed December 5 flight test was video recorded through windows in Orion's crew module. Although much of the video was transmitted down to Earth and shown in real time on NASA Television, it was not available in its entirety. Also, the blackout caused by the superheated plasma surrounding the vehicle as it endured the peak temperatures of its descent prevented downlink of any information at that key point. However, the cameras were able to record the view and now the public can have an up-close look at the extreme environment a spacecraft experiences as it travels back through Earth's environment from beyond low-Earth orbit.
The video begins 10 minutes before Orion's 11:29 a.m. EST splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, just as the spacecraft was beginning to experience Earth's atmosphere. Peak heating from the friction caused by the atmosphere rubbing against Orion's heat shield comes less than two minutes later, and the footage shows the plasma created by the interaction change from white to yellow to lavender to magenta as the temperature increases.
As Orion emerges safely on the other side of its trial by fire, the camera continues to record the deployment of the series of parachutes that slowed it to a safe 20 mph for landing and the final splash as Orion touched down on Earth.
Orion was then retrieved by a combined NASA, U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin team and carried back to shore aboard the Navy's USS Anchorage. After returning to shore, it was loaded on to a truck and driven back to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it arrived on Thursday.
Orion traveled 3,600 miles above Earth on its 4.5-hour flight test – farther than any spacecraft built for humans has been in more than 40 years. In coming back from that distance, it also traveled faster and experienced hotter temperatures – 20,000 mph and near 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Orion will travel faster and experience even higher temperatures on future missions, when it returns from greater distances, but this altitude allowed engineers to perform a good checkout of Orion's critical systems – in particular its heat shield.
Orion's flight test was a critical step on NASA's journey to Mars. Work already has begun on the next Orion capsule, which will launch for the first time on top of NASA's new Space Launch System rocket and travel to a distant retrograde orbit around the moon.

LACA Hosted Wireless Service
What is LACA Hosted Wireless?
LACA offers our customers an eRate-eligible hosted wireless (WiFi) service built upon Ruckus Wireless equipment. LACA owns and maintains the controller and access points, and handles site surveys, installation, setup, and on-going support of your wireless service.
We are very flexible with this service, and can offer it districtwide, or only a single building or location. It can be rolled out in stages as well (High School this year, Middle next year, etc). Please read on for very detailed information about this service offering.
Help, I am Unfamiliar with Wireless Terminology!
To help you understand LACA's Hosted Wireless Service a little better, please look through the glossary of terms below before your read more about the service.
WIFI - The general term given to wireless services.
Access Point (AP), or Wireless Access Point (WAP) - Both terms refer to a small device that hangs from the ceiling in classrooms that sends and receives the wireless signal from cell phones, Chromebooks, laptops, and other wireless devices. The more Access Points your have in a building, the better the signal coverage will be, and the more clients that can be joined at the same time. A typical building may have anywhere from 15-30 APs.
SSID (Service Set IDentifier) - This is the name of the target WIFI system you are connecting to. When you open your wireless device, and search for a network, and see choices like "Guest WIFI", or "Staff Wireless", those are SSIDs.
Controller or Zonedirector - The "brain" of the wireless system. This is where SSIDs are created, access points are managed, passwords and other methods of connecting are defined, and rules for the wireless system are created. "Controller" is a general industry term for this device, "Zonedirector" is a Ruckus Wireless vendor-specific name for their brand's controller.
Site Survey - A walkthrough of your building by a wireless technician, who uses test equipment to determine the best locations to place the Access Points to maximize coverage and insure enough there are enough access points to handle the anticipated number of simultaneous device connections. Locations like cafeterias and gymnasiums would need more Access Points, for example. The site survey also uncovers problem areas, where thick walls may prevent the wireless signal from reaching.
Ruckus Wireless - Ruckus is the manufacturer of the controllers and access points LACA uses to offer this service to our customers.
Why Would I Use LACA's Hosted Wireless Service?
Using LACA's Hosted Wireless Service allows your district to offer WIFI service to your staff, students and guests, and pay for it like you pay for any other utility, like electricity or water. The burden of support is removed from your local technology staff allowing them to focus on other more pressing matters.
There is no equipment to buy, no equipment to maintain, and the service is an eRate eligible service, so you can use eRate funding to help pay for wireless.
Unfortunately, pricing for LACA's Hosted Wireless Service is determined on a case-by-case basis. The number of buildings and number of access points fluxuates greatly between different customers. LACA coordinates a "site survey" to determine placement and quantity of access points, and can ONLY provide a final formal quote after this information has been gathered.
However, for the purposes of budgeting, we CAN show you very generalized pricing estimates based on past experience. These prices are not LACA's official quoted pricing, and your district may potentially be lower than or exceed the cost range stated below.
On average, the cost is between $22-$27 per access point per month. NOTE: This pricing is BEFORE any eRate discounts are applied. Districts enter into a 3-to-5 year contract with LACA for the service. After the contract period ends, equipment can be refreshed and replaced by more modern equipment by entering into a new contract with LACA, or you may continue on with the current equipment at a greatly reduced cost per year after the initial contract ends.
The monthly per-access point price includes:
All WIFI equipment (access points and controller)
Installation and configuration of access points and controller.
Ongoing support and maintenance of all access points and controller for the duration of the contract. LACA handles replacement of any failed access point or controller hardware.
The monthly per-access point prices does NOT include the following:
Cost of the initial site-survey.
Any wiring needed from distribution closets to locations of the access points.
Power over Ethernet switches needed to connect and power the access points.
If I Choose to Implement, What Should I Expect?
If you choose to implement, these are the steps you can expect to happen
LACA will schedule a site survey with your Technology Coordinator. All buildings where WIFI will be installed will be surveyed. At the end of the survey, LACA will have a total count of access points needed per building and their locations.
LACA will prepare a formal quote for your district or school. This quote will show your monthly cost.
Before the installation can begin, there must be ethernet wiring in place from your wiring closets to the locations where the access points will be mounted. LACA can assist your district with lining up vendors to do this work, at the district's expense.
Before installation can begin, there must be sufficient PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches in your wiring closets to connect and power the access points. This is the responsibility of the district. LACA can offer recommendations and quotes for switches from our partner vendors.
After wiring and POE switches are in place, LACA can schedule an installation date that works for your district or school. Depending on the size of the project, this may take from 1 to 3 days to complete.
LACA staff will work with your district Technology Coordinator to determine the SSIDs needed, and to partition your network into VLANs for the separation of wireless traffic.

Q: How to install specific older version of Deluge with all the dependencies? I have deluged 1.3.15 running on Raspberry Pi. However, I'm running eoan and it comes with Deluge 2.0.3. Version 2 client isn't backward compatible with version 1 server, so I need to install Deluge 1.3.15.
From what I can tell, it isn't in the repo, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it installed otherwise. I tried downloading old disco binaries but there is a myriad of unmet dependencies which I'm not sure how to satisfy.
How can I get Deluge 1.3.15 running so I can connect to deluged?

Followed by:
sudo apt-get install -f

A: The above answers are good they deserve the credit I would have updated them with my info here but maybe that is incorrect, I do not want to break their good work.
My use case is a deluged service running with a deluge-gtk watching that service.
I was getting high ram usage due to the ubuntu upgrade 20.4, and the impending upgrade of deluge to 2.0.3+
Also I upgraded libtorrent, that was a nightmare which completely broke everything.
So this 1.3.15 works better for me on Ubuntu 20.4
It also required a lot of removing of lots of applications, but be warned I removed too much and it caused masses of issues.
I was lost due to the various solutions out there on web, that cause all kinds of problems.
If it wasn't for the above answers, I would still be lost.
I followed the above instructions but added deluged / deluge-web / deluge-console
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/deluge/deluge-web_1.3.15-2_all.deb
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/deluge/deluged_1.3.15-2_all.deb

"Sugar Baby Pointer is my one-year-old female Sharbo (Boston Terrier / Shar-Pei hybrid). She was the only fawn-colored puppy in the litter; the rest were black and white like Boston Terriers. Sugar has more characteristics of the Shar-Pei and weighs approximately 18 pounds. She likes to ride on a motorcycle for fun. She loves stuffed animals. She likes to exercise and loves to sit on my lap. She also gives hugs and kisses, and will protect the people she loves. She does not have any health problems."
The Sharbo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Boston Terrier and the Chinese Shar-Pei. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
A litter of black and white Sharbo puppies at 4 weeks old"The pups mother is a Boston Terrier and their father is a Shar-Pei. There are 5 males and 3 females. We were amazed that she had so many and that they are healthy, and that she came through it all on her own. Although # 8 (in the middle) wasn't breathing when he was born, with a little help he came around, now he is perfect. Numbers 6 and 7 (girl and boy) are twins. I had never seen that before with dogs, but was surprised when they were born."
Sinatra the Miniature Shar-Pei, Boston Terrier mix at 11 months old—Sinatra is a Sharbo, comes from a pure breed Miniature Shar-Pei (father) and Boston Terrier (mother). We bought him as a puppy as soon as he was ready. He has a very playful temperament. After he runs around the back yard or goes for walks he is very relaxed. He likes to play and cuddle. He is an indoor/outdoor dog and is very sociable and friendly. He will bark at strangers once he gets acquainted. He plays with rope, and tennis balls. He sits and lays down on loose leash-walks. we have taken him to puppy classes for obedience training. It made a difference. He is a very active dog likes to run around in the back yard, go for walks and car rides even boating. loves bacon!

Tootsie Bear the Shar-Pei / Boston Terrier mix as a puppy at 11 weeks old—"Tootsie Bear is the baby of our dog family. She has two older sisters, Tifi and Paris. Tifi is a Yorkie and Paris is a Snorkie (Schnauzer/Yorkie). Tootsie is so full of energy while playing indoors, but when it's time to go for a walk, she does her 'business' and immediately after wants to be carried. She's such a lazy puppy. She's sweet and lovable and friendly with everyone she meets. We've had her for a month now and she's such a joy."


Since 2017, A.T. Kearney has compiled a business and technology forecast for the upcoming year, identifying 10 trends ranging from geopolitics to projected consumer demand and beyond.
Let's take a look at some of the most interesting predictions for 2019 and recap how some 2018 predictions panned out.
Between July and September 2018, the U.S. and China imposed $250 billion and $110 billion, respectively in tariffs upon one another, with the U.S. planning to increase the import tax from 10% to 25% before the end of the year. That planned increase was delayed by 90 days after an agreement was reached between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires, giving the world's first and second largest economies some time to try to sort out their differences. Kearney analysts, however, don't expect sufficient progress to be made during this time — instead predicting continued escalation of the U.S.-China trade war after the U.S. cites a lack of movement on changes to the Chinese economy. Such an escalation will continue to drive U.S.-based companies to shift supply chains to other Asian economies, Kearney predicts. And the IMF estimates the conflict will reduce global economic output by as much as 0.4% over several years.
Kearney predicts prices will rise across the board as fuel prices become more volatile, driven by new regulation on sulfur emissions for the shipping industry set to take effect Jan. 1, 2020. Less than 3% of ships requiring a sulfur scrubber to be compliant with upcoming regulations have been retrofitted, and fuels of all types (including bunker fuel used in shipping, jet fuel and diesel fuel) are expected to see substantial price swings as refiners and fuel purchasers jockey for price advantages. Kearney also notes crude oil tankers could see a 25% increase in shipping costs, leading to higher fuel prices across the board and in turn, higher prices for businesses and consumers in 2019 and 2020 until sulfur-reducing provisions are more completely implemented.
Exoskeletons for use in medical, industrial and military applications have been in development since the 1960s, but 2019 will be the year these advanced machines break into the mainstream and truly begin to make an impact. Kearney reports that Ford recently deployed exoskeletons on 15 production lines, a pilot program to measure enhancements to productivity and workplace safety. Seismic, an intelligent clothing start-up, has developed robotic undergarments designed to stimulate muscles and joints during medical and outpatient care — a precursor to wider adoption of some exoskeleton prototypes that have shown promise in allowing victims of paralysis to regain greater independent mobility. The Chinese, Russian and U.S. militaries are also pursuing their own exoskeleton projects to assist in moving heavy ordnance and other high strain activities. In 2019, exoskeletons could speed the transition toward automation in manufacturing and healthcare, allowing one or a few personnel to perform the jobs of a dozen or more workers, given the expected reduction in fatigue and enhancements to overall strength.
Bitcoin will lead consolidation of the cryptocurrency market.
Rising levels of trash will spur innovations in waste management.
China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin will continue expanding their relationship.
New products will be released to address the global anxiety epidemic.
A shortage of high-grade sand will create headwinds for the global construction industry.
Emerging markets will continue to struggle with a credit crunch.
Africa's technology and trade integration will continue at a rapid pace.
2018 Predictions: Did They Hold Up?
Kearney predicted quantum supremacy — that is, a quantum computer that can accomplish tasks a traditional computer cannot — would be achieved in testing in 2018. While no company crossed the finish line in time, both IBM and Google are working on iterations of their designs that will cross the 50 qubits threshold, often considered the tipping point for the "quantum supremacy" milestone. Don Galeom of Futurism explains that quantum computing uses the mysterious properties of quantum physics to allow information to be stored and passed over distances instantaneously, vastly increasing processing power and making large scale analysis of IoT data and machine learning far more feasible than under the restraints of existing number-crunching capabilities.
While not yet omnipresent, as predicted by Kearney for 2018, facial recognition adoption grew by leaps and bounds last year, especially in China where payment systems, classrooms and law enforcement have all integrated the ability to rapidly identify a subject on camera. Bernard Marr of Forbes explores the wide variety of implementations being tested by Chinese governments and businesses alike, from payments at fast-food chains to cross referencing potential criminal suspects against the national database. Closer to home, Kearney reports that trials of facial recognition technology are underway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport and in New York City's MTA commuter system.


We at Faith & the Common Good believe that the environmental crisis is, at its root, not merely a crisis of pollution and extinction, but a crisis of alienation and fragmentation, a crisis of the spirit. Only when we can work together and communicate meaningfully with one another at the heart and soul level can we hope to bring about the necessary changes required to live in peace, harmony, and health.
Renewing the Sacred Balance requires fundamental reconciliation with the whole Earth community. We cannot remain silent, nor remain isolated in our actions when so much of the world is broken. Working together, we must commit to understanding the roots of our broken relationships, to repairing the damage done to our fellow living beings, and to following through with concrete actions for revitalization.
Faith & the Common Good supports our network members to work collectively to raise awareness and encourage action to ensure that all living beings, including future generations, have access to clean air and water, toxic-free living environments, and a life-supporting climate.
Motivated by love, mutual respect, and a sense of the sacred, Faith & the Common Good encourages our network to draw upon our diverse faith and spiritual traditions to forge new connections with our planet and bring us back into right relationships with the whole Earth community. We come to this work with the hope and gratitude for all that Mother Earth has given us.


Prio Chintito, this is my reaction against Abidur, instant and passionate I know. Will you please publish it?
Please let me think that you wrote the letter, published on May 23, assaulting Chintito for "misleading the youth" with his/her (sadly enough you are sure chintito is a she!) emotional writing and for being a woman only to allure Chintito to publish your letter. Admit that you merely wanted to see your name printed! No? Then let me make the conclusion, painfully, the problem lies with you. In our country you are leading the section named as chamcha. I am sure you are a person (surely a Man) who is driven by his brains, having an extra brain where his heart is supposed to be. Man, we don't need countries like US, Japan or England; rather we need to have more people with a heart to really love our country, and we also need to get rid of people like you. You think "they" attacked Iraq with "some logical explanation"! To kill men and children? You do not have any problem with women being killed, do you? Do you think "they" will do something to dislodge the inhuman Myanmar military regime? Mothers should be ashamed to have boys like you. After all, they are women. And now don't you think I am a woman too?
I want to say something to (Mir Abidur) Rahman. Although I don't know much about international politics, as I don't find any interest in it, I still don't understand how could someone say that attacking Iraq was a good idea because it had some logic? Killing innocent mothers, children, so brutally, even sending young soldiers as U.S forces to the battlefield: all that was done for the sake of logic? They needed oil, and so they attacked Iraq. One day they'll need something badly from us and they'll attack us! Then you'll say "Mr.Bush might have some logic to do so. Don't blame him." And, by the way, who told you women write childish things? Can you write something better than Ms. Chintito? You are talking as if we are not an independent country, as if we are enslaved by the U.S government! Chintito, please never ever stop writing. Some people are just jealous about your popularity. You just march ahead, right behind you we tread!
I am writing to you once again not to praise you. This time I just want to say something to Abdur Rahman.
I congratulate you for not caring what a narrow minded person like him says. But you took his challenge and published his letter. I think that's what he wants. Just to print his name in the paper. I am sure he has been cloned in the lab. Otherwise a person who has a mother can't treat any woman with such disgrace. He doesn't have a backbone either. That's why he is almost ready to call USA 'Abba'. People like him have led our country to destruction. I just hope he learns his lesson soon enough. And dear Chi, I really appreciate your encouragement to Onamika. What you said is truly right. English-medium students nowadays know only English. But we Bangla-medium students know both. So we are superior to them. Bhalo thakun. Be happy always!
This is in response to Mir Abid's letter. Although I don't know whether you are male or female, it's not a factor to me; it is what you write and what we learn. I am flabbergasted after reading Abid's letter and think he is completely devoid of civic sense. His criticism of you seems to cross the limit and shows his arrogance. It proves he lacks courtesy. After he identifies you as a woman, he says that women write nonsense. How does he think women have no proficiency in good writing? Mr Abid, have you heard of Begum Rokeya, Selina Rahman, Arundhati Roy, J K Rowling, Shirin Ebadi, Sufia Kamal… are they male or female? You said the US never does anything without logic. Is that true? I think you have no idea about their ideology. For their own interest, they can do anything. Is it fair to destroy others' peace for my own interest? They killed a lot of people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, created turmoil all over the world, evicted people from their shelter. Don't you hear the cries of the Iraqi children who lost their parents? Think sincerely and comment after getting the right information. Change your attitude towards women, and trust they have the ability to contribute in every sector.
I will really appreciate if you change the way you write. Thanks to Mir Abidur Rahman who came up with some strong evidence about your emotional writing. Actually he encouraged me to stand and utter against your "light" explanation and writings. You really do not know how to cast logic, do you? And it has been seen you have a distinct pleasure to counsel (or should I say 'motivate') young infants and freshers with some common words and phrases. You should understand your advice is making a huge impact on their minds. Now, there is one matter that I can't agree with Mr. Mir Abidur Rahman. How can he say "only woman can write nonsense and childish writing like this" Who gave him the 'brilliant' idea that only women can write nonsense and childish things? Is he some kind of racist, or mentally sick to write and think like that? It does not matter whether Chintito is a male or a female. I quite doubt your mental healthiness.
The outrage with which you questioned the comment (of the US Assistant Secretary of State) seemed slightly exaggerated. The comment seemed as well articulated as all the "famous" comments made by his commander-in-chief (maybe they share the same speech writer). My point is not whether he has the right to make such comments regarding OUR election, but I am rather chintito over whether the US recognises Bangladesh as a democratic nation.
How appalling and amusing is Mir Abidur Rahman's letter. Dear Sir, I must ask you "what is wrong with you?" You questioned Chintito's lack of knowledge whereas you seem to demonstrate none at all. Have we all forgotten the whole Florida incident during the 2000 US elections? Whether or not a representative of US has the right to make such wrongly worded comment regarding another nation's election, is debatable at best! We certainly do have to converse and hear what developed nations have to say, because we certainly can learn from them. However, let us not forget about this particular nation's recent demonstration of fallibility in its own election process.
You further seemed oddly proud that we are 80% dependent on other nations. So to you does that mean we should adhere to all their demands and take their word as given, or else suffer their wrath of pulling out their support? As far as I was aware, that is not what an independent nation means or even represents.
Finally, I was absolutely outraged at your comment on Chintito's gender. Dear Sir, I would have you know that the women in this country are far more intelligent, well versed and definitely more articulate than the men. Thank you for further validating that point. You called Chintito's writing childish, have you actually read your own letter? Your mind set is a shame to our gender and I hope your literary talent is not a reflection of your university's English Department. For you to have made such bold criticism without justifying logic, seems to me that you are an extremely narrow minded, misinformed and ignorant individual.
My heart sank into a painful sea of sadness when I went through the unfortunate moment of learning that, someone was yelling at you, namely Mir Abidur, who according to my judgement seriously lacked the logic (though he claims himself to be a logic master) to advocate the absolutely meaningless letter he dished out. Be blessed.
Monty Aziz, Chittagong Government High School.
A letter this Friday gives just the opposite impression of what I expect from a columnist/writer like you. I don't know who that person (?) is, but I am sure it was someone closely connected to those criminals. Please, never lose your heart. Keep on writing as you are doing. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks. Be blessed.

África – 8-month-old baby caught in shooting crossfire in Mitchells Plain
An eight-month old baby was caught in the crossfire of a shootout in Mitchells Plain, Western Cape police said on Saturday.
Three men were also shot and wounded in the attack at around 10:20 on Friday on the corner of Hartbees and Gazelle Streets in Eastridge.
Mitchells Plain community policing forum chairperson Abie Isaacs has condemned the incident, saying it was concerning that those who are most vulnerable in society continue to be caught in the crossfire of shootouts.
Isaacs would not speculate on whether the shooting was gang-related. He added that he would be following up to check on the condition of those who have been hospitalised.
Western Cape Police spokesperson Andrè Traut confirmed the incident, saying the suspects who opened fire are yet to be arrested.
He appealed to anyone with information to come forward or contact Crime Stop on 08600 10 111.
Last month, in Hanover Park, a 2-year-old boy was killed in the crossfire of alleged gang violence. The young boy was shot in the presence of his mother, police said at the time. The mother was uninjured.

Q. Is it true that some major companies that sell sun block are being sued for lying about the effectiveness of their products?
A . Yes. In March, two of the United States' top class action lawsuit firms filed a lawsuit against the makers of five sunscreens marketed as sun blocks—Banana Boat, Bullfrog, Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropic and Neutrogena. The suit alleges that certain statements made by these companies create a sense of artificial security that endangers users. "False claims such as 'sun block,' 'waterproof' and 'all-day protection' should be removed from these products immediately," states Samuel Rudman, a New York-based partner with one of the filing firms, Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP, in a published statement.
Although not widely acknowledged in the sun-protection world, these claims were deleted during the past decade from the terminology allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sunscreens. The agency's reasoning was very clear: No product can deliver on these types of promises. Sunscreens lessen the amount of exposure the skin has to ultraviolet (UV) rays, but they do not block them altogether. No sunscreen is absolutely waterproof, but if it remains active after 40 minutes of exposure to water, the FDA says it can be described as "water-resistant"; 80 minutes of activity earns it a "very water-resistant" claim. After toweling off, regardless of how much time a person spends in the water, every sunscreen must be reapplied.
However, rather than focusing on whether these claims are rightly made, it's more important to look at the backlash that can—and probably will—occur from the publicity this lawsuit is getting in the media. After reading headlines stating that sun block companies are being sued for fraud, as well as the media's favorite quote from Rudman, "Sunscreen is the snake oil of the 21st century, and these companies that market it are Fortune 500 snake oil salesmen," many of the clients you've worked so hard to convince throughout the past 30 years to wear sunscreen may decide to stop this practice because they think they've been deceived. That is the tragedy of this lawsuit and the claims that have brought it into being. Although Rudman's group has made it clear that they aren't suing because someone was injured, imagine all the people who will be hurt when they develop skin cancer because they stopped using the sunscreens they now believe were sold to them under false pretenses and fraudulent claims.
So what do we do? First, stop referring to sunscreens as sun blocks. They're not, and the FDA has clearly stated that they are not to be described as such. This is a false promise and is very misleading to your clients who may believe that their skin never will be touched by UV rays as long as they have this product between them and the sun. Instead, use the proper terminology: sunscreens. These products screen out or reflect some—and sometimes most—of the sun's UV rays, but they don't block them completely, and to imply that they do is not being honest.
Next, it is important to bring up the lawsuit and express your concern that the message being delivered by the media is not the real message. It isn't that these companies lied about the fact that sunscreens protect the skin from UV rays; it's that they led consumers to believe they were more protected than they actually were. Sunscreens do work to protect skin from UVB and some UVA rays, but there's more to protecting the skin than just wearing it.
Here are some other tips from the American Academy of Dermatology that you can share with your clients.
• Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, when possible.
• Seek shade when appropriate, and remember that the sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm.
• Use extra caution near water, snow, sand and concrete because they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn.
• Protect children from sun exposure by applying sunscreen. Kids younger than six months old should be kept out of the sun.
• Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that includes supplements. Don't seek it from the sun.
• Avoid tanning beds. UV light from both the sun and tanning beds causes skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you've been in the sun, consider applying a sunless self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.
• Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything changing, growing or bleeding, see a dermatologist. Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early.
Q. Why don't sunscreens block all UV rays?
A . Some UV rays still get through, even with the very highest SPFs. Because the actual reason requires more than a passing knowledge of physics to understand, it's simpler to look at SPFs and how much protection they provide the skin.
The FDA has defined SPF as the amount of time it takes to produce minimal redness (erythema) in skin via UVB exposure. This is called the Minimal Erythemal Dose (MED), and it's achieved when the skin attains the amount of UVB required to produce redness, more commonly known as a sunburn.
An SPF 2 enables the skin to be exposed to UVB twice as long as when a sunscreen is not used before the MED is attained. This means that an SPF 2 absorbs 50% of UV rays, allowing the other 50% to get through, so it takes twice as long for the skin to absorb the amount of UV needed to produce redness. An SPF 8 absorbs 87.5% of the rays, leaving 12.5% to reach the skin. If you multiply 12.5% by 8, you get 100%, so the skin requires eight times the amount of UV needed to produce redness when wearing an SPF 8. An SPF 15 absorbs 93.33%, allowing 6.67% UV to get through, and an SPF 30 absorbs 96.67%, allowing 3.33% to pass. If you follow the diminishing numbers, you'll see that even the highest SPF will not absorb 100% of UV rays. This is why the FDA no longer allows the use of the term "sun block" to describe sunscreens.
Q. Does an SPF 30 offer twice the protection as an SPF 15?
A .Based on the numbers in the last answer, an SPF 30 offers less than 4% more protection than an SPF 15. But that isn't the whole story. To achieve the extra 4%, the higher SPF must reach beyond UVB rays into the UVA part of the sun's radiant spectrum. Because UVA is implicated in phototoxic and photoallergic reactions, as well as diseases such as lupus, this extra 4% can be enough to keep certain complexions safe in the sun.
Q. Is it OK to add a sunscreen ingredient or a blend of ingredients to a moisturizer or foundation before selling it to my clients?
A .No, it isn't OK. Adding sunscreen ingredients to another product makes you the product's manufacturer in the eyes of the FDA. Sunscreens are over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that are regulated by the FDA. They must be produced, labeled and filled by an OTC manufacturing facility registered with and inspected by the FDA. Although it is highly unlikely that the FDA ever would become aware that you are adding sunscreen ingredients to your products before selling them to clients, if a client should ever make a claim against your liability insurance, the insurance company would not back such a practice.
Q. How much sunscreen should I tell my clients to apply if they're just wearing it on their face every day?
A .Follow the two-finger rule: Instruct your clients to put a line of sunscreen 1/8 inch wide down the lengths of their index and middle fingers. Unlike recommending a standard measure, such as a teaspoon, for each client, using a person's own fingers to measure will deliver the right amount of sunscreen for their size. This amount is enough to cover the entire face, ears, neck, throat and upper chest.
The two-finger rule applies regardless of whether the sunscreen is in the form of a moisturizer, foundation, blush or dedicated sunscreen product. Because most clients won't want to put this much foundation or moisturizer on their skin, and probably won't apply foundation to regions such as the backs of their neck or ears, recommending a sunscreen that's separate from other products may be preferable if reliable, consistent protection is desired.
Q.I have a client who went to Mexico for vacation and burned with the SPF 30 she's worn in the sun at home for years. Why did this happen?
A .Climate, altitude, time of year, medication, disease, cloud cover and even the number of reflective surfaces—water, sand, snow and cement—can increase the effects of UV hitting the skin. If a person burns in their backyard in June in 15 minutes, they would be able to stay out in the same backyard in June for three and a half hours with an SPF 15. But if that same person goes to a high-altitude location, such as Aspen, Colorado, in June on a cloudy day and has been taking diuretics for several days, that SPF is going to change and they are going to burn faster. In fact, the SPF could be cut in half, allowing the person to stay in the sun for less than two hours. The same is true if your client moved from a northern climate, such as New Jersey, to one closer to the equator, such as Mexico. The message here: SPF isn't specific to the person; it's specific to the environment and conditions of exposure. Be sure to take all these points into consideration when advising someone in the selection of a sunscreen.
Q. Are ingredients such as carrot oil, walnut extract, aloe and beta carotene natural sunscreens? If they are, why don't more manufacturers use them instead of chemicals such as benzophenone and octyl methoxycinnamate?
A .It doesn't matter whether or not these ingredients are natural sunscreens. The FDA doesn't recognize them as such, so you can't claim them to be. The only ingredients that are recognized by the FDA as sunscreens in these OTC drugs are the following chemicals.
These are the only ingredients that legally can be claimed as sunscreens in OTC drugs in the United States. If carrot oil, aloe or any other ingredient is in a product—regardless of whether or not it delivers UV protection—it cannot be identified as a sunscreen. The only exception is if the product, not the individual ingredient, receives New Drug Approval from the FDA.

In case you've been wondering how my Life List has been going, I am thrilled to say that I can now check off item #37: Take ballroom dance lessons.
Last night was the night! After completing all my classes, borrowing a dress from a friend, buying sparkly dance shoes, getting my hair and make-up done, I attended my first ball (a BALL, people!) and danced the night away. (And there's my ticket to the right.) You can find pictures here.
I danced, in no particular order: the Foxtrot, the Viennese Waltz, the Waltz, the Swing, the Hustle, Merengue, Salsa and even the Tango! And it was all AWESOME!
This was more than just learning dances. This was about meeting new people, learning a skill and proving to myself and the people attending that ball that I can dance. I may not be great at letting my partner lead on the dance floor (sorry, guys ...), but I'm still learning. I also know now that I want to learn more dances, learn the more complicated footwork, learn about style, etc. This last month of dancing has been so much fun that I'm going to take a few more classes before the holidays, just to keep me going so I don't forget everything I've learned so far.
Take ballroom dance lessons - Done!
Absolutely love your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful post with us.
It was so much fun reading your blog, Stephanie! I can see you have been enjoying ballroom dancing. I also love to dance, and taking formal dance lessons is definitely included in my bucket list as well. I'm not sure what type of dance to consider, but after reading about your experience with ballroom dancing, I'm actually thinking of enrolling in a ballroom dancing class myself.
Thanks, Tyson! Sign up for lessons now, you won't regret it.

I am going to say just that, but trust me, it will all make sense shortly. Looking back at our first example with Susan and her dog, we hit a small snag as there is not one but rather two objects in the predicate of the sentence: Consider the verb of the sentence: Now is Bob, the subject of the sentence, buying me? I certainly hope not. Rather is buying roses FOR me.
So am I directly receiving the action of the verb? The roses, the objects directly receiving the action of the verb, bought, are the direct object. After the verb, ask yourself the question "what. Looking at the second example:. You can determine this by asking the question, "Mail what? You can determine this by asking the question, "Hand it - the spatula to whom?
You can determine this by asking the question, "Give what? You can determine this by asking the question, "Give to whom? Susan walks the dog. Bob bought me roses. Looking at the second example: Not so bad, eh? Mary served some soup. We studied our lessons. The ball gets the direct action from the verb, "threw. The indirect object is who or what is indirectly affected by the action of the verb. John threw me the ball. Ball is still the direct object. That is what got thrown.
But "me" is the indirect object, indirectly affected by that action. Mary fixed her brother some soup. Soup is still the direct object. It is what got fixed. The indirect object if there is one will always come between the verb and the direct object. It is always a noun or pronoun. So, if the sentence says, "John threw the ball to me," there is no indirect object.
In this case, there is a prepositional phrase, "to me," and the word "me" is the object of the preposition. In sentence 1, "plans" is the direct object. That is what gets the action of the verb, "told. In sentence 2, "place" is the direct object. It is the object that gets the action of the verb, "wants. There are just two prepositional phrases tacked on the end. A direct object is the receiver of action within a sentence. The direct object and indirect object are different people or places or things.
Try putting a preposition in the sentence to help differentiate between the direct and indirect objects. For example, in the sample sentence, it makes sense if you add "to" before "Mary," as in "He threw the ball to Mary. Ok, lets say you have a sentence: She gave the letter to him.
