At St. Matthews Animal Clinic, we have the very highest standard of care for our patients. That's especially true when it comes to surgery; all of our veterinarians are qualified surgeons. Of course, our practice performs many common surgeries, such as spay and neuter procedures, growth removals and oral surgery. We also have the expertise to do many other kinds of surgeries like an abdominal exploratory or stem cell therapy.
We have food and water restrictions for your pet before surgery.
Do not give your pet any food or water after midnight the night before surgery.
Give nothing the morning of surgery unless otherwise directed by your veterinarian.
Please bring your pet to us between 7:30 & 8:30 am the day of surgery.
At that time you will meet with one of our veterinary technicians who will go over the surgical process for the day and answer any questions you may have. Your pet will then be brought back to get a most recent weight, the technician will check heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to get a baseline before surgery. The surgeon for the day will also perform a thorough exam, listening to your pet's heart and lungs for any abnormalities. We recommend any pet going under anesthesia to have pre-anesthetic blood work to make sure we get the "all clear", if there is anything of concern, the doctor will give you a call.
We practice advanced sterile techniques and technology. Surgeons are properly protected and each patient's fur is shaved in the vicinity of the surgical site. The skin is then thoroughly cleaned with surgical scrubs. Because your pet's safety is our priority, each patient is provided with an IV catheter for distributing fluids and medication. We also provide a blanket that has warm water circulating through it, underneath the patient, and a warm air flow to keep the patients temperature normal throughout the procedure. The surgeon will prepare for surgery scrubbing their hands/arms, using sterile gowns, gloves, masks, caps and equipment each time. During the procedure your pet will be hooked up to an advanced monitoring machine keeping track of all vitals; heart rate & rhythm, oxygen level, pulse, etc. Your pet will also manually be listened to every 5 minutes by our surgical technician.
Depending on the procedure, your pet will receive a therapeutic laser treatment over the surgical site to provide a better healing process. They will be taken to a comfy cage with warm blankets and warm air to get their temperature back to normal, as it is very common for it to drop some during a procedure. Depending on the procedure, we may have your pet stay overnight. When you pick up your pet, our staff will go over any at home care instructions including any medications sent home. Approximately 10-14 days after the surgery, you can return to have the stitches/staples removed if told to do so by the doctor or technician.

Hong Kong to roll out Covid-19 mass vaccination for five priority groups, registration opens next Tue
With China's Sinovac vaccine arriving on Friday, Secretary for Civil Service Patrick Nip estimated that around 2.4 million Hongkongers will be eligible for a priority vaccination from next week.

The Hong Kong government has announced it will roll out Covid-19 vaccinations for five priority groups next week, with the first batch of China's Sinovac vaccines set to arrive on Friday.
Secretary for Civil Service Patrick Nip announced on Thursday that one million doses of the Sinovac jab will arrive in the city on Friday afternoon. Hong Kong will receive another one million vaccines from Germany-based Pfizer-BioNTech before the end of this month.

The government will prioritise vaccinations for five groups of citizens, including medical workers, those aged 60 or above, caretakers at elderly homes, personnel responsible for environmental hygiene, cabin crew, cross-border drivers and disciplined forces who are often in contact with citizens.
Nip estimated the priority groups will encompass around 2.4 million citizens.
The online registration for Covid-19 vaccines will open next Tuesday, while the vaccination programme will officially commence next Friday. The government will set up 29 community vaccination centres, 24 of which will supply Pfizer-BioNTech jabs and the rest will use Sinovac.

Most of the community vaccination facilities will be established at sports centres and will operate for at least six months. They will be run by the Hospital Authority, Department of Health, private hospitals and medical institutions and organisations, involving more than 1,000 medics. The government will deploy over 1,000 civil servants to provide assistance at the venues as well, Nip said.
The authorities will open the centres in phases based on the arrival time of the vaccines. Priority group citizens may also get their jabs at the 18 general out-patient clinics managed by the Hospital Authority, or visit over 1,200 private doctors to get vaccinated starting in early March.
The authorities will designate outreach teams to vaccinate those living in elderly homes or care homes. The five priority groups may be extended to cover citizens with chronic disease and those aged 16 or under later.
"If Hong Kong has to completely break away from the pandemic, then everyone has to get vaccinated, to protect yourself and others," Nip said.
A survey by Chinese University's medical school in January found that less than 40 per cent of residents would be willing to take the vaccine.
Asked what incentives citizens have for taking part in the voluntary vaccination programme, Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan said the move will protect the city's healthcare system and speed up the process of achieving herd immunity.

"The protection for oneself from becoming infectious would be an incentive, it's your own health incentive," Chan said. "If more people are getting vaccinated… it will be fast for us to achieve herd immunity."
On Thursday, Hong Kong recorded eight coronavirus infections, pushing the total number of confirmed cases to 10,820. It was the third time the city recorded a single-digit rise in infections this week amid a fourth wave of Covid-19 that began in November last year.

When is general anesthesia used and is it safe?
General anesthesia is very safe. Even if you have significant health problems, you will most likely tolerate general anesthesia without serious problems.
But with any medication or medical procedure, you may experience some side effects. This is what you can expect.
What short-term side effects are possible?
Most side effects of general anesthesia occur immediately after your operation and do not last long. Once the surgery is done and the anesthesia drugs are stopped, you will wake up slowly in the operating room or in the recovery room. You will probably feel dazed and a bit confused.
Nausea and vomiting. This common side effect usually occurs immediately after the procedure, but some people may continue to feel sick for a day or two. Anti-nausea medications can help.
Dry mouth. You may feel dry when you wake up. As long as you do not have too much nausea, drinking water can help take care of your dry mouth.
Sore throat or hoarseness. The tube that is placed in your throat to help you breathe during surgery can leave you with a sore throat after it is removed.
Chills and chills. It is common for your body temperature to go down during general anesthesia. Your doctors and nurses will make sure your temperature does not go too low during surgery, but you may wake up shaking and feeling cold. Your chills can last from a few minutes to hours.
Confusion and diffuse thinking.. When you first wake up from anesthesia, you may feel confused, drowsy and foggy. Usually, this lasts only a few hours, but for some people, especially older adults, confusion can last for days or weeks.
Muscle pains. The medications used to relax the muscles during surgery can cause pain later.
Itch. If narcotic medications (opioids) are used during or after your operation, it may be itchy. This is a common side effect of this class of medications.
Bladder problems You may have trouble urinating for a short time after general anesthesia.
Dizziness. You may feel dizzy when you get up for the first time. Drinking lots of fluids should help you feel better.
What long-term side effects are possible?
Most people do not experience long-term side effects. However, older adults are more likely to experience side effects that last more than a couple of days.
Postoperative delirium. Some people may get confused, disoriented or have trouble remembering things after surgery. This disorientation may appear and disappear, but usually disappears after about a week.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Some people may experience ongoing memory problems or other types of cognitive impairment after surgery. But it is unlikely that this is the result of anesthesia. It seems to be a result of the surgery itself.
Some research suggests that people over 60 may be more likely to develop POCD.
What increases your risk of side effects?
For the most part, general anesthesia is very safe. It is the surgical procedure itself that puts you at risk. But older people and those with prolonged procedures are at greater risk of side effects and poor results.
Is it possible to wake up during surgery?
Very rarely, people may be aware of what happens during surgery. Some experts estimate that about 1 in 1,000 people regain consciousness, but can not move, talk or alert their doctor. Other sources report that it is even rarer, as infrequent as 1 in 15,000 or 1 in 23,000.
When this happens, the person usually does not feel any pain. However, operational awareness can be very distressing and can cause long-term psychological problems, similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.
If you experience operative awareness under general anesthesia, it may be beneficial to talk to a therapist or counselor about your experience.
Why is general anesthesia used over other methods?
If you need surgery, you probably do not want to feel what is happening. Depending on the type of surgery, this can be accomplished in several ways.
General anesthesia is essentially a medically induced coma. Your doctor administers medications to make you unconscious so you do not move or feel any pain during the operation.
Local anesthesia, like when you get points in your hand.
A regional anesthetic, like when you get an epidural to give birth to a baby.
Your doctor will guide you through your individual options when planning your procedure. They can answer any questions you may have about what will be used and why.
It is important for you to talk openly with your doctors about all of your health information. Your anesthesiologist can safely manage your care and treat your side effects, but only if you are honest.
Be sure to follow all of your instructions before surgery, including what you can and can not eat and drink, as well as what medications you should or should not take. Following these instructions can help minimize some side effects of general anesthesia.
That Was Side effects of general anesthesia: short and long term effects, Hopefully it's useful and you like it.

On Monday we'll see Rebecca, our new Graphic Designer intern' joining the Chocolate Ltd team, who will be providing a valuable helping hand.
To become someone's mentor. I always felt like mentor was able to be used by those with great influence on others' life or wise (world) leaders. However, I quietly thought that a mentor was all the people who have given me guidance, useful advice and strength, in other words – friends, classmates, co-workers and all people collaborating with me around me. I often think about how I w/could be helpful. Being a Graphic Designer, it's important to me to do more than 'just design' and creating adverts or a delicious looking piece of packaging – the thought of, inspiring growth and supporting (new) young emerging designers is something that's important – to offer help in shaping the future's designers and making a difference in their professional careers can be something they'll remember forever!
I have never mentored anyone before, I'm a little nervous because I hope to provide good mentorship and haven't done this before (any new task/challenge is daunting at first, right?) but, I am also looking forward to sharing my design knowledge and experiences which valuable mentors had shown me in the past with Rebecca.
I have been supported and taught by so many wonderful people over the years, and I feel it's only right to do what I can to assist others. This will be a great opportunity for Rebecca to showcase her ideas and design skills too, and if there is a way I am able to give a helping hand, I'll be happy to.


Very loosely based on Judi and Ron Barrett's children's book of the same name, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a Sony Pictures Animation. During release it became the highest-grossing film released by the animation house taking over $240m at the box office. It represents the directing debut of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who rose to prominence after directing successful animated TV show Clone High.
From a young age, Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) wanted to be a famous inventor, unfortunately for him, he was stuck on the tiny island of Swallow Falls where the entire economy is run off of sardines. Against his father's (James Caan) best wishes, he creates a machine that converts water into food and a freak accident sends the machine into the atmosphere causing it to start raining food down on the people of Swallow Falls. The power-hungry Mayor Shellbourne (Bruce Campbell) sees it as an opportunity to become successful and pushes for more and more food to fall as a tourist attraction, but the machine suffers a malfunction leading to terrible results.
To describe Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs as simply an animated film for kids would be doing it a disservice. The rapid-fire speed at which it dispenses jokes, both verbal and visual is astounding. The jokes are not your standard slapstick, they delve into the obscure and frankly bizarre, which places it not only closer to Tim Burton than Disney. In fact with some of the recurring visual gags, like the Ratbirds or the increasing size of the Mayor, the film begins to toy with a more David Cronenberg-like body shock area. It never loses its sense of identity though and just when you think it's going to go too far for younger viewers to appreciate, it reigns in the odd and provides a simple joke or slapstick moment.
The voice cast are superb, with highlights being the overzealous security guard played by Mr. T and the ever-expanding Mayor given a hilariously creepy edge by the excellent Bruce Campbell. Like the great laugh-out-loud comedies, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs keeps the jokes coming thick and fast and while they don't all work, you're only seconds away from the next laugh. It's a feat that a lot of animated films fail to replicate and while Pixar may generally aim for the more traditional storytelling approach, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs presents such diverse and interesting character relationships and top quality unusual set-pieces that it stands alongside the best in the field.
It's quite unbelievable to imagine that a successful mainstream animated film could reach such levels of absurdity, but Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs not only goes there, but manages to find entertaining jokes that will appeal to audiences of all ages.

Axelle Carolyn (Brussel·les, 3 d'abril de 1979) és una cineasta i antiga actriu i periodista belga.

Biografia
Entre moltes altres feines que va treballar en el seu camí per dirigir les seves primeres pel·lícules, Carolyn va treballar breument davant de la càmera. La seva aparició més notable va ser com la guerrera picta Aeron a la pel·lícula de Neil Marshall Centurion.

Reportera de terror per a diverses revistes i llocs web del 2005 al 2008, la carrera de no ficció de Carolyn va culminar amb la publicació del 2008 de It Lives Again! Horror Movies in the New Millennium, pel qual va guanyar el premi de plata als premis Book of the Year; i el 2018 FrightFest Guide to Ghost Movies, una anàlisi de les 200 històries de fantasmes més significatives mai fetes.
També va publicar alguns contes en diverses antologies, com ara Dark Delicacies III, i The Mammoth Book of Body Horror.

Després d'escriure i dirigir un grapat de curtmetratges premiats, Axelle va estrenar el seu primer llargmetratge, la història de fantasmes Soulmate, el 2014. L'escena inicial, que representava una escena gràfica de suïcidi, va ser censurada al Regne Unit pel BBFC. La pel·lícula es va estrenar a Sitges l'any 2013 i es va projectar a festivals de gènere d'arreu del món abans de la seva estrena. Va ser generalment ben rebuda, tot i que la seva barreja d'horror, drama i romanç gòtic va dividir les opinions. El 2014, va participar a la pel·lícula d'antologia Tales of Halloween, que va coproduir amb Epic Pictures. També va escriure i dirigir el seu propi segment Grim Grinning Ghost. El 2018 va treballar a la sala de guionistes de Chilling Adventures of Sabrina de Netflix i va coescriure l'episodi 9.

Maniac: Perfectly Imperfect
We begin in New York. A New York where rent claims nearly 90% of your income and the city's most famous monument has grown wings and found some 'extra' liberty. Netflix's new series, Maniac, is set in a world of electronic advertising and cybernetic commerce; a whimsically nostalgic near-future, where primitive computer monitors appear not to have developed since the 90s and automated pooper-scooper bots follow dog walkers through its streets.
Pill A forces each subject to relive their trauma; B exposes the minds defence mechanisms and blind spots; C prompts their confrontation and, finally, acceptance.
Image courtesy and copyright Netflix, Maniac 2018.
Part "Mr. Robot," part "Black Mirror", Maniac lends an absurdity to contemporary anxieties and centres around powerful performances by Jonah Hill and Emma Stone. Hill plays Owen Milgrim, the melancholic and introverted son of a wealthy family which ridicules and takes advantage of him. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Owen has visions telling him that a canny stranger named Annie Landsberg (Stone) will reveal to him his heroic, elaborate, secret mission in life.
Both victims of emotional trauma, Annie and Owen meet at a medical trial taking place within the Kubrickian labs of Japanese mega-corporation Neberdine Pharmaceutical Biotech (obligatory sci-fi grey jumpsuits and sleeping pods included). The subjects are there to test a radical new procedure set to eradicate human pain and suffering. Each subject is to be dosed with three pills: A, B and C. The combination of the drugs and an emotionally intelligent computer induce a dream-like state, attempting to cure the subject through a unique form of psychotherapy. Pill A forces each subject to relive their trauma; B exposes the minds defence mechanisms and blind spots; C prompts their confrontation and, finally, acceptance. You'll be surprised to hear that this does not go entirely to plan.
Things really get interesting when it's time to take Pill B, and a fault in the system sees Owen and Annie's drug-induced visions overlap and collide. From here we are thrown headfirst into a world of interconnected "reflections" which hurtle across space and time (think Inception meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). What follows is a series of surreal narratives that contain allegorical connections to each subject's trauma.
Each of the subsequent voyages into the subconscious highlights how a dream, however irrational or fragmented, can ventriloquise our deepest insecurities. Storylines shatter into one another and our central characters jump erratically between genre, all the while valiantly confronting their particular inner torments. The result is one of uncanny logic and easy slippage, eerily representative of a dream experience. At one moment Owen and Annie are permed and mulletted, searching for a Lemur in 1980s suburbia. The next, they are early-20th-century con artists attempting to steal the lost chapter of Don Quixote. Like a 'real' dream, each reflection is at once fantastical, obviously unreal, and somehow imbued with acute insecurities and problems: thoughts we cannot escape, even when asleep. The reflections that play out during the middle episodes of the series show Maniac at its most compelling. To visualise and personify subconscious thoughts of anxiety and depression is no easy task, but one that creator Patrick Somerville and director Cary Joji Fukunaga clearly relish.
To visualise and personify subconscious thoughts of anxiety and depression is no easy task, but one that creator Patrick Somerville and director Cary Joji Fukunaga clearly relish.
As the series progresses (in its real and dream worlds both) we begin to discover that it is not only the subjects of the experiment who are deeply flawed, but those in charge of it too. From the paraphiliac Dr. James Mantleray to the agoraphobic Dr. Fujita, each character brings their own idiosyncracies and imperfection to bear on the theoretically objective lab setting. With the revelation that even GRTA ("Gertie", the vision-controlling computer), is suffering from depression, the series is sent spiralling toward its conclusion. As Gertie's emotional state deteriorates, and as the experiment's subjects approach the crescendo of their final 'reflections', mayhem ensues in the Neberdine lab. Both of the series' climaxes—inside and outside of Annie's and Owen's visions—centre around chaos, failure and acceptance. Eventually, a kind of superficial resolution sees Annie and Owen leave the lab; they are told that they have been cured. The tests have been unanimously proclaimed a success. But has this nonsensical experiment really cured our protagonists? And have we learnt anything, this side of the screen?
Maniac is compelling on looks alone – slick, sci-fi – but the series' willingness to confront and represent inner torment ensures its appeal as more than skin deep. The questionable success of the experiment, refracted through its effects on facilitators and subjects both, remind us that the nuances of the human mind remain a mystery; it asks what 'success' in this context would look like at all. Joining Maniac's cast of characters in their search for 'normality', we're encouraged to search for it in ourselves – and to ask, ultimately, whether there is such a thing.

Born in 1911in Zamocz (Poland), native town of several renown Jewish personalities: D Shlomo Ettinger, the journalist Zederbaum, the great Yiddish writer Itzhak Peretz, and Rosa Luxembourg. Zamocz was a town counting a very large Jewish population… The Jewish environment and atmosphere in Zamocz had a very important influence on Joseph Epstein… During the whole period preceding the war, the Jewish worker youth and a great deal of the intellectuals did felt the weight of the national and social oppression. Insecurity, lack of perspective contributed a lot to the engagement of a large part of the Jewish youth with the revolutionary vanguard that was then fighting the reactionary, bourgeois and anti-Semitic politic. The revolutionary forces of the Jewish youth were also a large reservoir for all the immigrations to the welcoming countries. The large majority of these young people left illegally Poland and cross the borders.
In 1939, at the very beginning of ww2, Epstein volunteered to the French army. He was assigned to the Polish unit in France, as a non-commissioned officer. It did not take long till Jurek (that's how one called Epstein) got upset with the anti-Semitic atmosphere that prevailed among the Polish unit. Tall and blond, he did not look Jewish to the Poles. His appearance encouraged the private anti-Semitic conversations. Epstein was sociable, good living, a good chess player, and his humour well appreciated busted sometime out in a happy laughter; but he was also very serious. He did not avoid telling that in the atmosphere prevailing in thePolish unit, it was difficult to fight Nazism. In a short time, Epstein gathered one hundred and fifty Jewish volunteers for the Foreign Legion. The Jews preferred to join the Legion rather than being incorporated among the Poles. Doing so, they ran the risk of being judged as deserters. Nevertheless their situation was legalized and Epstein himself joined the 12th Foreign Infantry Regiment (that became the 22nd IRFV) one of the first to be sent to the front, on the Somme near the Aisne River. In May 1940 as POW Epstein was sent to the Leipzig area. In November of the same year, despite the cold and the very bad weather conditions, he succeeded to escape and to reach the « neutral » Switzerland. But arrested by the Swiss authorities he was sent back to the German border. Knowing the bad lot waiting for him, he tempted and succeeded anew to escape by swimming in the icy cold water of winter. Again he came to Switzerland and found refuge in the French Consulate.
He became legal documents as a French citizen which allowed to come back to Paris on December 25th, 1940… Joseph Epstein had no illusions. Despite his Aryan look and documents, he searched the way to start to fight in the resistance. During the last month of 1942, the partisan movement knew big difficulties in it's actions in Paris. The S.S. brigade in charge to fight the resistance inflicted hard knocks. The very head quarter in Paris had been arrested. Charles Tillon who led the "Direction Nationale" in these critical time, assigned Epstein as Commissaire of the military operations for Paris and it's region. The military operation tactic was based on groups of three partisans, one executing and two for coverage who assured the retreat. This tactic did not prevent the resistance from sustaining heavy losses. Joseph Epstein (Colonel Gilles for the partisans) proposed the a military tactic that he used in the Paris area. Groups of ten, fifteen and twenty one fighters. Charles Tillon supported the proposal and recommended it to the entire country. About this conception of the military actions in the resistance, Henri Noguères wrote: "Gilles owned great technical and general knowledge, not linked to superficial instruction practiced in the army, but in contrary he had his own ideas to adapt to guerrilla fighting. Most of the comrades adopted the three comrades system. But in Paris there were policemen and German soldiers everywhere: Joseph Epstein preferred to engage fifteen to twenty fighters per operation. The heads of the units and even the M.O.I. did not quite share this idea. Gilles had to explain his point of view. If in Paris during daylight, three persons only had to attack a military unit, there will always be a danger to be arrested that could lead to a partial or complete failure. In opposite with a larger group well prepared, it was possible to gain a superiority if adopting a discrete strategy. The operations in Paris conducted in 1943 were placed under Colonel Gilles' authority." On September 16th 1943, Joseph Epstein had a meeting with Manouchian in Ivry. It's possible that they were uncovered, however both of them were arrested there. They were armed but had no time to defend themselves.
The Nazi police and their French collaborators triumphed after the arrest of Epstein and Manouchian and tens of other fighters, in Paris and suburbs. Despite long and cruel refined tortures, none of them ever break. The torturer couldn't even obtain Epstein's identity or origin; they couldn't obtain details that would allow them to forge a spectacular public trial in order to serve their Nazi propaganda. Epstein does not appear on the famous red poster which denounced the Resistance like a criminal army composed of foreigners and stateless criminals… Joseph Epstein was judged with eighteen other partisans in Saint-Claude. All were sentenced to be gunned. On April 11th 1944, Joseph Epstein, alias Colonel Gilles fell with his comrades in front of the firing squad at the Mont Valerien. Just before his execution he wrote his last letter to his wife and his little boy… Colonel Gilles, or Joseph Epstein was buried in the Parisian cemetery in Ivry under the name of Joseph André, the name he had adopted in 1936 when started for him the war against fascism and Nazism in Spain.

As mental-health organizations marked this week as National Suicide Prevention Week, suicide is on the rise in New Jersey and across the country following a period of relative stability.
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control's CDC Wonder database, both the number of New Jerseyans and the proportion of the population who died by suicide rose in 2010, the most recent year for which statistics were available. There were 719 suicides in the state that year, a rate of 8.2 per 100,000 people. That's by far the highest since at least 1999, with the closest being 615 suicides or a rate of 7.1 in 2008. Typically, the annual rate has been about 6.8 with about 588 self-inflicted deaths a year.
The American Association of Suicidology noted a rate increase nationally from 2009 to 2010, with a total of 38,364 nationally, or 105 per day, and a rate of 12.4. New Jersey's rate of 8.2 was the third-lowest, higher only than New York's 8 per 100,000 and 6.8 in the District of Columbia.
New Jersey's rate becomes a little more stable when comparing multiple years, as is recommended because of the relatively small number of suicides each year. Still, the rate of 7 per 100,000 for the most recent five-year period, 2006-10, was higher than for the prior one, 2001-05, when the rate was 6.7. There were approximately 40 more suicides a year in 2006-10 than in 2001-05.
The New Jersey Department of Children and Families found the opposite trend in looking at suicide by younger people – ages 10-24 – for its Update 2012 Adolescent Suicide Report released last November. According to the report, the suicide rate for that age group in 2011 was 4.2 per 100,000, less than the rate of 5.3 in 2010. This was also below the national rate of 5.8.
"Although New Jersey has had the lowest state-level adolescent suicide rate for more than a decade, this reality provides little consolation to friends and family who may have lost a loved one to suicide," wrote DCF Commissioner Allison Blake in the introduction to the report.
New Jersey's data also differs from the national in terms of the primary method used, in large part because of the state's tough gun-control laws. Nationally, just over half of all suicides are by firearm, with suffocation or hanging ranking second, responsible for about a quarter of self-inflicted deaths. In New Jersey, 4 in 10 suicides were by suffocation or hanging, while a little less than 30 percent were from self-inflicted gunshots.
Young males in New Jersey committed suicide at much higher rates – 7.2 per 100,000 in 2009-11 versus 1.7 for females, according to the report. Females, however, made more attempts at suicide than males – 57.9 per 100,000 females tried suicide and wound up hospitalized in 2009-11, compared with 34.2 males.
One major effort the state undertook this year was to launch its first 24-hour suicide-prevention hot line, NJ Hopeline. The state's efforts at suicide prevention among young people include a federally-funded prevention project led by the Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth at Rutgers University targeting those at greater risk for suicide, including gays, college students, Latinas and black males; the creation of county youth suicide prevention task forces and a statewide social media campaign to promote access to mental health and substance abuse services.
Blake wrote that the decrease in youth suicide and the results of a 2011 youth risk behavior survey that found high school students attempting suicide less often are signs the state's prevention efforts are working, but pledged the state will continue to do what it can.

My first trip to Europe was absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I both love traveling and experiencing new cultures, so Europe is a perfect place for us!
At some point in your life, you MUST visit this magical place. I've never seen anything like Amsterdam in my life. The curvy, dam-lined streets were perfectly picture-esque, and the bikes whizzing by from every direction kept me on my feet. It was so easy to get lost in this city, distracted by the beautiful people, the gouda shops, and the tilted houses. Wander through street markets, take a boat ride, do yo thang.
Pretty, pretty Paris. Balconies draped in flowers, perfectly fluffy baguettes, and lots of wonderful shopping. Sign me up. My favorite part was the fashion. Slim suits, fur coats, and amazing hats filled the sidewalks. It's definitely an easy place to fall in love.
Barcelona. Let's all just get it over with and move there. This tropical, ocean-side city has it all: delicious food (you have to try paella, tapas, and lots of seafood), a great nightlife (including beachfront nightclubs and yachts galore) and gorgeous architecture. The people are laid-back, fit, and upbeat. They love to stay out till 8am, drink one too many glasses of sangria, and dance the night away on the beach. Are you convinced yet?
Which European city is your favorite? Comment below and let me know!


MOSCOW, April 7 (RIA Novosti) – NATO should stop its belligerent rhetoric over the crisis in Ukraine and return to normal cooperation with Russia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an article published on Monday.
The profound, pervasive crisis in Ukraine is a matter of grave concern for Russia. We understand perfectly well the position of a country which became independent just over 20 years ago and still faces complex tasks to construct a sovereign state. Among them is the search for a balance of interests among its various regions, the peoples of which have different historical and cultural roots, speak different languages and have different perspectives on their past, present and their country's future place in the world.
In these circumstances the role of external forces should have been to help Ukrainians to protect the foundations of civil peace and sustainable development which are still fragile. Russia has done more than any other country to support the independent Ukrainian state - including for many years subsidizing its economy through low energy prices. Last November, at the very outset of the current crisis, we supported Kiev's wish for urgent consultations between Ukraine, Russia and the EU to discuss ways of harmonizing the integration processes. Brussels flatly rejected it. This stand reflected the unproductive and dangerous line the EU and US have been following for a long time. They have been trying to compel Ukraine to make a painful choice between East and West, thus further aggravating internal differences. Ukraine's realities notwithstanding, massive support was provided to political movements promoting Western influence, and it was done in direct breach of the Ukrainian constitution. This is what happened in 2004, when President Yushchenko won an unconstitutional third round of elections introduced under EU pressure. This time around, power in Kiev was seized undemocratically, through violent street protests conducted with the direct participation of ministers and other officials from the US and EU countries.
Assertions that Russia has undermined efforts to strengthen partnerships on the European continent do not correspond to the facts. On the contrary, our country has steadily promoted a system of equal and indivisible security in the Euro- Atlantic area. We proposed signing a treaty to that effect, and advocated the creation of a common economic and human space from the Atlantic to the Pacific which would also be open to post-Soviet countries.
In the meantime Western states, despite their repeated assurances to the contrary, have carried out successive waves of NATO enlargement, moved the Alliance's military infrastructure eastward and begun to implement antimissile defense plans. The EU's Eastern Partnership program is designed to bind the so-called "focus states" tightly to itself, shutting down the possibility of fruitful cooperation with Russia. Attempts by those who staged the secession of Kosovo from Serbia and of Mayotte from the Comoros to question the free will of Crimeans cannot be viewed as anything but a flagrant display of double standards. No less troubling is the pretense of not noticing that the main danger for the future of Ukraine is the spread of chaos by extremists and neo-Nazis. Russia strives to do all it can to promote early stabilization in Ukraine. We are firmly convinced that this can be achieved through, among other steps: real constitutional reform which would ensure the legitimate rights of all Ukrainian regions and respond to demands from Ukraine's south-eastern regions to make Russian the state's second official language; firm guarantees on the non-alliance status enshrined in the laws of Ukraine, thus ensuring its role as a connecting link in the architecture of indivisible European security; urgent measures to halt activity on Ukraine's territory by illegal armed formations of the Right Sector and other ultra-nationalist groups. We are not imposing anything on anyone, we just see that if it is not done, Ukraine will continue to spiral into crisis with unpredictable consequences. We stand ready to join international efforts aimed at achieving these goals. We support the appeal by foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland to implement the February 21 agreement. Their proposal to hold Russia-EU talks with the participation of Ukraine and other Eastern Partnership states about the consequences of the EU-association agreements corresponds to our position. The world of today is not a nursery where tutors assign punishments at will. Belligerent statements such as those heard at the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels do not match demands for a de-escalation. De-escalation should begin with rhetoric. It is time to stop the groundless whipping-up of tension and to return to serious common work.

Q: Is my jQuery function loading too slowly? I built a contact form on my site with a "Send" button that will turn into "Sending..." when you click on it. I used Bootstrap JS for that.
It will reset when the

*

*fields are blank

*the email address provided is not valid

*something went wrong with the server

*the form is sent

I have a div above the form where the alerts/warnings will appear. However, it
only resets when the form is sent. The button stays at "Sending..." for the other 3 situations.
I thought it was because the button.('reset') wasn't even called, but I put button.('loading') where button.('reset') was supposed to be and it worked (removed the original button.('loading') to work).
I use JS for the first 3 situations and AJAX for the last one. I couldn't locate the error here, so I have a suspicion that it could be because the JS (for the alert/warning to appear) loaded faster than the jQuery (for button reset). The form takes about a few seconds to send and when it does, the button resets diligently. If there is an error, the warning message pops up immediately, almost faster than triggering the "Sending..." button.
I've tried looking at the timeline tab in the dev tools section, but I don't really understand what I'm looking at (which box refers to which action?)
Now I use a setTimeout function to reset the button and it works, but I wish to reset it the "proper" way (button resets only after the warning appears).
Can someone guide me through this? Thank you so much!
Sorry, here are the relevant codes:
// scripts.js

$("#bugButton").on('click', function() {
    $("#bugButton").button('loading');
})

function bugReport(bugsField, emailField) {
    if (bugsField.value != '' && emailField.value != '') {
        if (validateEmail(emailField.value) == true) {
            params = "bugsField=" + bugsField.value + "&emailField=" + emailField.value
            request = new ajaxRequest()
            request.open('POST', 'mail.php', true)
            request.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded')

            request.onreadystatechange = function() {
                if (this.readyState == 4) {
                    if (this.status == 200) {
                        if (this.responseText != null) {
                            alertGen(this.responseText)
            } } } }
            request.send(params)
        } else
            alertGen('errmail');
    } else
        alertGen('errblank');

    else if (message == 'errblank')
        document.getElementById('response-box').innerHTML = msg1 + 'info' + msg2 + 'Field(s) are blank.

    else if (message == 'errsend')
        document.getElementById('response-box').innerHTML = msg1 + 'danger' + msg2 + 'Something went wrong. :-(
'
    else if (message == 'errmail')
        document.getElementById('response-box').innerHTML = msg1 + 'danger' + msg2 + 'That is not a valid email address.
'
    else
        document.getElementById('response-box').innerHTML = msg1 + 'info' + msg2 + message + '

    setTimeout(function () {
        $("#bugButton").button('reset');
    }, 10);
}

// index.html

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">×</button>

Report a bug

        <form method="POST">

        </form>

A: With out coding,it will not help us to identify the Error.
But check for these error

*

*whether other three event after finished going for the coding part
which is changing the button name.

*Any name changed in other three events.

*As you have changed the name of button id or class[I am assuming here] as it worked ,check with different name as well as some time same name in other coding part or other js file will make the code to not work.

*Finally keep alert message box or console message or exception handing to see any error or whether the coding is getting executed .

I have seen the code try placing the $("#bugButton").button('reset');  at the start of  alertGen() function and try.if not working please tell me I will see.

Inspired – Jean-Baptiste Danet
One thing is for sure, you're never alone with this desk.
By Angus Montgomery May 23, 2013 11:19 am January 30, 2015 11:46 am
Designed by Hella Jongerius, it was in the Museum Boijmnans Van Beunignen in Rotterdam as part of a retrospective of her work, entitled 'Misfits'. Hella has built her career from perfecting the art of imperfection, and in her hands a table is never just a table – as you can see. She started as a carpenter, but moved to industrial design, combining creativity with making, and she describes design as 'like ping-ponging between the head and the hands'.
Hella Jongerius's Frog Table
I like the fact that the desk is so unexpected, and at the same time so beautifully made – the design is a narrative but it's highly technical and crafted in the use of materials and processes (solid walnut and blue semi-transparent enamel).
I'm lucky enough to have one of these desks and I totally fell in love with it as an idea, it's a radical object and a challenge. There's a relationship – a very special one – between the user and the object, which I guess was Hella's intention. When I work at this desk, it plays with my imagination, you look up and the frog is there to start a conversation.
It's now really familiar to me and of course the frog brings to mind all sorts of stories, it's a little bit magical I think. And it always provokes a reaction – it demands to be noticed and fascinates when people first come across it.
It's a great inspiration because it sets free your thinking even while you're at your desk. There's something playful too, definitely a sense of humour – it always makes me smile and feel more positive when I sit down to work there. I'd add to Hella's description of design 'the head and the hands and the heart' because there's so much feeling involved in a piece like this.
[And the irony of the frog is not lost on me, being French.]

Lupe Fiasco Talks About "Superstar" Going To XBox Karaoke
Published on: Sep 8, 2008, 1:25 PM PDT
by Jake Paine
Lupe Fiasco [click to read] reached a large audience with his 2007 hit "Superstar." The song was a chart-topping radio success, as well as a nomination for last night's MTV Music Awards [click to read].
Now, after a strong run, the song is to be immortalized in XBox's new game LIPS. Described to be in the tradition of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, the game challenges players on their ability to rock the microphone over an array of hits from Hip Hop history.
"It's dope. I've had my songs in games before, but more as kinda the soundtrack," Lupe told HipHopDX Monday night. "For now, for my song to be part of the game, so to speak, is like ill. It's revolutionary. It's revolutionary in the sense that this game, LIPS, focuses on Hip Hop. The microphone, you can't just sing like karaoke, line-for-line, you actually have to rock the mic."
"It's amazing," Lupe added, seeing his song get appreciated in new medium. "I just did a show and said, 'I can't believe this is my life.' I'm at a point now where it's Lupe Fiasco everyday, and I kinda forget that I'm famous, or that I have celebrity or what-have-you, and to be reminded of it in ways like this [game] is [shocking]."
Asked if this opportunity will alter Lupe's relationship with songwriting, he laughed, saying, "It's gonna make me that much more responsible. [It's going to make me] say more and do better. It goes other places, into performing. A new level of professionalism, focusing on the art, a new level of integrity – everything is heightened for me."
Lupe closed that the artist featured on "Superstar," Matthew Santos is working on a yet to be titled album, the next released by 1st & 15th Records. A single is to be released by year's end.

Up next: Favorite Sports Team Day!
At the annual Mr. Rockland pageant held at RHS on Wednesday night, senior Zach Pransky took home the crown. The event was hosted by seniors Carly Reardon, Caitlin Yannizzi, Kiera Tobin-Rosman, and Haley Macray; and organized by junior Finance and Fundraising committee chair Colleen McCarthy. Asked after the event, Pransky was at a loss to explain why he won. Two of his opponents cited his dramatic reading and his responses to the Q&A.
Seasoned judge and chemistry teacher Ms. Hoyo said it was the toughest competition she has ever judged, alluding to the fact that she has judged many competitions in the past. She and the other judges Mr. Damon, Mr. MacAllister and Mr. Liquori took quite a while to deliberate who the winner was. Pransky believed his opponents, Mark Ewell, Ryan Sugrue, Billy Parlee, and Michael Ivanoskos, were all deserving of the award, possibly more than he was.
The unexpected appearance by Dr. Cron in his ducky costume, during contestant Mark Ewell's performance, was a hilarious addition to the pageant.
Tuxedos for the formal wear part of the contest were sponsored and provided by Merian of Brockton.
For taking first place, Pransky was awarded a $250 scholarship, a front parking spot, a Chipotle gift card, a ride in the Rockland Veterans Day Parade, and ultimate bragging rights.
A complete video of the event will be available through wrpsrockland.com later this week. Check the next print edition of The Veritas for complete coverage.

Judges included Samantha Hoyo, Rich MacAllister, Nick Liquori and Fred Damon.

Spent the first year of life learning more than pretend.
And creating all kind of organized, youthful mayhem.
But the future was there in the cheetah's eyes.
Then the two grew by huge leaps and bounds.
How happy to hear their sweet happy sounds.
Finally the pair reached their adulthood.
Nearly identical size as together they stood.
He never had a chance to keep up with the cat's pace.

News|Occupied East Jerusalem
Israel launches attacks on besieged Gaza after rockets fired
Attacks come as tensions in occupied East Jerusalem soar with armed Israeli police scuffling with Palestinians for a second night.
On Friday, following confrontations, police said 44 people were arrested in Jerusalem [Ammar Awad/Reuters]
Published On 24 Apr 202124 Apr 2021
The Israeli military has carried out strikes targeting Hamas positions in the besieged Gaza Strip as evening clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians continued in Jerusalem.
Palestinian news agency Maan said Israeli army tanks near the fortified fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel launched attacks towards the enclave on Saturday. No injuries were reported.
The Israeli army said it hit underground infrastructure and rocket launchers in Gaza "in response to rockets fired at Israel throughout the night".
It said some rockets exploded before reaching Israel and others were intercepted by its air defence system.
Hamas did not claim responsibility for the rocket attacks, but a small military formation affiliated with the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said it fired some of the missiles.
In response to rockets fired at Israel throughout the night, we just struck Hamas terror targets in Gaza, including:
🎯 underground infrastructure
🎯 rocket launchers
Terror targets civilians.
We target terror.
— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) April 24, 2021
The attacks come as tensions in occupied East Jerusalem soar. Armed Israeli police scuffled with Palestinians for a second night on Friday over a ban on gatherings and anger fuelled by videos of attacks.
On Thursday, police barred access to some areas where Palestinians usually gather in large numbers during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, sparking confrontations outside one of the entrances to the walled Old City.
Tensions were also fuelled by the arrival of far-right Israeli Jewish groups at the end of a march during which they harassed Palestinians and chanted "death to Arabs".
Early on Saturday, Jordan strongly condemned "the racist attacks on Palestinians".
Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi tweeted: "As the occupying power under international law, Israel is responsible for stopping these attacks & for the dangerous consequences of failing to do so."

Tens of thousands of Palestinians attended weekly prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City on Friday.
Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, condemned the "police and settlers' attack on Palestinians in Jerusalem" in his sermon on Friday but called on the worshippers to remain calm and not to give the other side an excuse to storm the compound.
They dispersed peacefully after prayers and there were no immediate reports of unrest.
The sprawling hilltop compound has seen clashes on a number of occasions over the years and was the epicentre of the 2000 Palestinian Intifada (uprising).
Hamas staged demonstrations across Gaza after Friday prayers, reiterating its support for armed struggle.
"After a long series of protests and demonstrations, we have reached the conclusion that without weapons, we cannot liberate our land, protect our holy sites, bringing back our people to their land or maintain our dignity," senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar said.
Later on Friday, following confrontations, police said 44 people were arrested in Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported at least 105 wounded, of whom approximately 20 were transferred to hospital, while the Israeli police said 20 officers had been injured.
The Israeli police used water cannon and stun grenades to disperse Palestinians, who were hurling stones at them.
Confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli police have occurred on a nightly basis since the start of Ramadan.
They were ignited when police placed barricades outside the Old City's Damascus Gate, a popular gathering place after the end of the daytime Ramadan fast.
The Palestinian leadership wants East Jerusalem to be the capital of their future state. Its fate has been one of the thorniest issues in the peace process, which ground to a halt more than 10 years ago.
The impoverished and densely populated Gaza Strip has been under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2007, after Hamas took over the coastal enclave.
Hamas and Israel reached an agreement at the end of September last year to cease hostilities, although attacks have continued.
Hamas has accused Israel of not fully complying with the deal. Israel, which deems Hamas a "terrorist" organisation, shuns direct negotiations and has never publicly acknowledged the truce.
Israel has launched three offensives against the Gaza Strip since 2008, and there have been numerous flare-ups.

Déjà Vu for gamblers as online gambling ban is put into appropriations bill
Thu, May 19th, 2016 1:31:38 pm
By Hartley Henderson - exclusive to OSGA
Language has appeared in a $56.3 million spending bill approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee that closely mimicks RAWA.
As has been widely reported, Lindsay Graham has snuck language into a Senate bill that he hopes will force other Senators to consider more seriously the Restoration of Americas Wire Act (RAWA) and eventually pass Sheldon Adelson's effort to ban all online gambling. Senate Report 114-239 – "The Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, 2017" has a section that states the following:
"Internet Gambling – Since 1961, the Wire Act has prohibited nearly all forms of gambling over interstate wires, including the Internet. However, beginning in 2011, certain States began to permit Internet gambling. The Committee notes that the Wire Act did not change in 2011. The Committee also notes that the Supreme Court of the United States has stated that "criminal laws are for courts, not for the Government to construe.' Abramski v. U.S., 134 S. Ct. 2259, 2274 (2014) (internal citation omitted)."
The main purpose of the bill approved by the Senate was to provide funding to combat wildlife trafficking and guidance to communities that were seeking funding for potential recovery from terrorist acts, but somehow Graham decided that online gambling, including poker, was relevant to be placed here too.
For those suffering from déjà vu, the same tactic was more or less used in the passing of the UIGEA.
"A poll conducted in 2006 showed that over 78% of American adults didn't want online gambling banned."
Versions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) were originally introduced by Jon Kyl and other Republicans in the early 2000s but kept failing to get the votes in the House. As a last ditch effort to force an internet gambling bill on the American public before the 2006 midterm elections, Republican Senator Bill Frist attached the UIGEA to the SAFE Port Act, which was a must pass bill that was geared to keep U.S. ports safe from terrorist attacks. The bill had already been agreed to by the vast majority of legislators, so by attaching the UIGEA portion to the SAFE Port Act, it forced legislators to accept this new attachment in order to get the original bill passed, as it was an all or nothing deal. And in all fairness most of the Senators and Congressmen who had already committed to the SAFE Port Act didn't even know about the attachment when they voted. That hastily passed bill has turned out to be a disaster not only for gamblers but also for the anti-gambling crusaders.
Honest, well-funded, gambling companies like Pinnacle Sports, Bodog and WWTS left the U.S. market to try and adhere to the law but the majority of companies including many smaller offshore companies have continued to thrive targeting U.S. customers. Worse for the anti-gambling crowd, in order to make it appear that the law was not aiming at contests or lotteries, an exemption was given for fantasy sports and lotteries and some creative entrepreneurs used the language of the new law to introduce daily fantasy sports, since there was no indication of how much money could be wagered on fantasy sports or what time period the sports had to be played in to be legal. Consequently, DraftKings and FanDuel were allowed to explode without any real regulation and as we all know that came to a head last year when a New York Times report showed that DraftKings allowed insider betting and employees benefited greatly at the expense of other customers.
This put states in a horrible predicament since daily fantasy sports is clearly a form of online gambling that was allowed to run rampant and became a huge hit with gamblers and leagues. As such some states are trying to ban the product, while others are trying to legalize and regulate it. It is clearly just a mess.
Had the UIGEA actually been debated this eventuality may have been noticed and addressed before it became reality.
Fortunately, the language of the Senate Appropriations bill does not make online gambling illegal nor does it have any real consequence like the SAFE Port Act did, but if it is signed in without any changes then it could lead the way for Graham and his cohorts to introduce legislation calling for RAWA to be adapted because it "was signed" by the Senate and by the House in a corresponding House Appropriations Bill. And according to sources I've spoken to once the bill, as part of a larger conference report is introduced, it will be presented as an all or nothing proposition meaning that no one can make changes to any part of the report. RAWA would likely be included with the language it has now that would ban all forms of online gambling, including what is legally taking place now in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware. Any changes would have to be made before the Appropriations bill is signed.
The whole process is laughable and was actually mimicked in a Simpsons episode when a law was passed that allowed planes to fly over residential houses. In an effort to get the planes to fly away from their house the Simpsons had Krusty the Clown (who was just elected as a Congressmen) attach a new air traffic bill to the must pass "Flags for Orphans Bill," while politicians who were opposed to the new attachment were either bribed or diverted away from the floor so they couldn't vote. Of course that was comedy but this unfortunately is reality.
And what makes it worse is that Graham hasn't put the wording into the bill because he has a personal concern on the matter, but rather to appease a billionaire donor who made his fortune in gambling but doesn't want to have to compete with a new form of gambling that he doesn't understand and likely doesn't think he can be as good at as his competitors. Let's put this into a context other than gambling.
Suppose that AstraZeneca comes up with a new cholesterol lowering drug that is safe, effective and has none of the side effects of statins. Seeing this, the CEO of Pfizer realizes that the release of this drug will kill interest in Lipitor and destroy sales and Pfizer's stock prices he goes to his friends in Congress and The Senate and asks them to somehow come up with a plan to ensure that drug never sees the market. In order to appease the CEO, (a friend and large donor), the Senator finds a can't miss anti-terrorism bill and attaches a bill that would make the chemicals in the cholesterol lowering drug illegal and hence unavailable to Americans. Seems crazy? According to several lobbyists I've spoken to this is exactly the way things work in the United States every day. The public just doesn't see it. And no doubt Graham is hoping it will go unnoticed or unchallenged, since Internet gambling just isn't a topic that many are really concerned about.
One positive for gamblers is that similar tactics were used last year by Graham and Jason Chaffetz to get interest in their anti-gambling bills by introducing them at other committees, but each time they were shot down by attendees, who have made it clear that they do not believe online gambling is an issue for the feds to address and should only be considered at the state level. And since this appropriations bill has received so much attention in the press at an early stage, there will be enough opposition to the bill that the section on Internet gambling will likely be scratched from the appropriations bill before it is signed.
But it's these types of shenanigans and veiled attempts to thwart democracy which have made Americans so leery of federal politics and has resulted in popular non-establishment candidates that are not owing to big corporate donors or special interest groups like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. A Zogby poll conducted in 2006 showed that over 78% of American adults didn't want online gambling banned and over 80% today say that gambling should be a state issue. But the likes of Frist, Graham and Chaffetz have told Americans they are wrong and that they should do as they are told for their own good. It's not only undemocratic but it borders fascism.
So what's next for this bill?
As mentioned it was noticed early enough and has gotten enough media attention that no doubt there will be pressure put on Graham to remove that portion of the appropriations bill before it is sent for a vote. Thus far it has only been introduced in the Senate so it still has to be debated and undoubtedly the same parties that opposed the law last year because they believe it violates state's rights will demand that part of the bill be stricken; the other casino companies will probably demand it be changed; and representatives from the various tribes will likely have people present demanding that portion be stricken as well since eventually they want to benefit from online gambling.
So this undemocratic attempt will fail but the fact that Graham is willing to go to this length to appease a gambling mogul just to avoid competition is disgusting. Hopefully voters will take that into consideration when they go to the polls in November.
