The Brain Pays Attention to Unfamiliar Voices During Sleep
Finding Creativity Through Movement
Link Between Dry Eye and Chronic Pain Syndromes Identified
FeaturedNeurologyPain
Physician-researchers with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, part of UHealth–the University of Miami Health System, have found a link between "dry eye" and chronic pain syndromes — a finding that suggests that a new paradigm is needed for diagnosis and treatment to improve patient outcomes.
"Our study indicates that some patients with dry eye have corneal somatosensory pathway dysfunction and would be better described as having neuropathic ocular pain," said Anat Galor, M.D., M.S.P.H., a cornea and uveitis specialist and associate professor of clinical ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and the lead author of the groundbreaking study, "Neuropathic Ocular Pain due to Dry Eye is Associated with Multiple Comorbid Chronic Pain Syndromes," published recently in the American Pain Society's Journal of Pain.
Roy C. Levitt, M.D., a neuroanesthesiologist, pain specialist, and geneticist also at the Miller School, and corresponding author, noted, "A multidisciplinary approach used for chronic pain treatment may also benefit these dry eye patients."
Galor and Levitt are part of a team of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and UHealth physicians who treat dry eye.
Their research team evaluated 154 dry eye patients from the Miami Veterans Affairs Hospital. "Dry eye patients in our study reported higher levels of ocular and non-ocular pain associated with multiple chronic pain syndromes, and had lower scores on depression and quality-of-life indices consistent with a central sensitivity disorder," said Levitt, a professor and Vice Chair of Translational Research and Academic Affairs in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Medicine and Pain Management. "We also suspect that neuropathic ocular pain may share causal genetic factors with other overlapping chronic pain conditions."
The American Eye Institute estimates that dry eye affects about 3 million Americans every year. When the eyes do not produce an adequate supply of tears or the tears evaporate too quickly from the surface of the cornea, patients develop an "itchy" or painful sensation. Left untreated, dry eye can lead to inflammation, ulcers or scars on the cornea.

"Patients' eyes may become hyper-sensitive to stimuli, such as wind or light, or have spontaneous pain such as a feeling of burning, which is typically associated with nerve injury," said Levitt.
"Traditionally, eye specialists have treated dry eye with artificial tears or topical medications for the surface of the cornea," said Galor. "However, even if these treatments improve some dry eye symptoms, many patients continue to report underlying ocular and non-ocular pain."
Reflecting on the implications of the study, Galor said, "Our highest priority is educating physicians that dry eye represents an overlapping chronic pain condition. Consequently, a multidisciplinary approach should be considered in the diagnosis and pain management of dry eye patients."

Neuropathic Ocular Pain due to Dry Eye Is Associated With Multiple Comorbid Chronic Pain Syndromes
Recent data show that dry eye (DE) susceptibility and other chronic pain syndromes (CPS) such as chronic widespread pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and pelvic pain, might share common heritable factors. Previously, we showed that DE patients described more severe symptoms and tended to report features of neuropathic ocular pain (NOP). We hypothesized that patients with a greater number of CPS would have a different DE phenotype compared with those with fewer CPS. We recruited a cohort of 154 DE patients from the Miami Veterans Affairs Hospital and defined high and low CPS groups using cluster analysis. In addition to worse nonocular pain complaints and higher post-traumatic stress disorder and depression scores (P < .01), we found that the high CPS group reported more severe neuropathic type DE symptoms compared with the low CPS group, including worse ocular pain assessed via 3 different pain scales (P < .05), with similar objective corneal DE signs. To our knowledge, this was the first study to show that DE patients who manifest a greater number of comorbid CPS reported more severe DE symptoms and features of NOP. These findings provided further evidence that NOP might represent a central pain disorder, and that shared mechanistic factors might underlie vulnerability to some forms of DE and other comorbid CPS.

Time travel is my favorite kind of science fiction – precisely because it's almost certainly impossible. Not like travel to other planets, which makes great science fiction, but we're already beginning to do in reality. Or artificial intelligence and robots, which also makes for great science fiction, but we're also already beginning to do, a least little. But time travel is different because it's so likely impossible – as far we know, we're not doing any of it today, and have never done it. As far as we know, no one from the future has yet to pay us a visit. And because time travel is so likely impossible, seeing how time travel stories can work, can make sense, anyway, is a special kind of fun.
Why is time travel impossible?
Well, if you travel to the past to change whatever event, and you succeed, how would you have had knowledge about the event you went back to change in the first place? This is often called the grandfather paradox – if you go back in time and accidentally kill your grandfather, then you wouldn't have been born, so how could you have gone back in time in the first place – but there's no need to kill anyone in your ancestral family for this paradox to be upon you, the time traveler. Anything you do, when you travel back in time, that invalidates the reasons or necessary ingredients for the trip, would trigger the paradox.
There are lots of ways out of this, such as the multiple worlds interpretation, which works like this: Time traveler 1 (TT1) from World 1 travels back in time, and accidentally prevents either set of grandparents from meeting. So TT1 is never born. And in that world – call it World 2 – since TT1 doesn't exist, there may never be any time travel. But that's ok, because we could say TT1 from W1 went back in time, stopped the grandparents from meeting, which resulted in W2 with no TT1 or TT2. No paradox at all with these multiple worlds.
But if our existence really consisted of an infinite number of multiple worlds or realities, with a new one triggered with every action of the time traveler, that would make for an existence far more insane than just our normal world would be with time travel, right? I mean, a new world created with every drop of the time traveler's hat, or even if no hat is dropped, by the time traveler catching someone's eye at just the right or wrong time, well, hey, that's even crazier than time travel, right?
Ok, but what about travel to the future? No grandparent paradoxes there, but we run into other serious problems. If I travel one day into the future, and I see you wearing a blue hat, what does that mean for you? That you have no choice but to wear a blue hat? Well I don't know about you, but I think I have a choice about what color hat to wear tomorrow, or not wear any hat at all. We call that free will. Don't you think you have that ability too, or do you think everything you do from now on is available to the scrutiny of anyone in your vicinity who travels into the future, which would result in your doing just that, and only that, whatever other ideas you might have between right now and tomorrow about what to wear or otherwise do tomorrow?
Time travel is such an enjoyable exercise for the mind that I get a kick just thinking about it, making the impossible seem possible, and writing stories and novels with those paradoxes and loops. But reading a great novel like Isaac Asimov's The End of Eternity or Robert Heinlein's The Door Into Summer, or seeing a movie like Back to the Future (any of the three) or 12 Monkeys or Primer, or a new television series like Travelers – well, that's always a big treat indeed. If you've read this far, I'd bet that at least some part of your brain agrees … at least, in this timeline.
Mid-twenty-first century time traveler Sierra Waters, fresh from her mission to save Socrates from the hemlock, is determined to alter history yet again, by saving the ancient Library of Alexandria - where as many as 750,000 one-of-a-kind texts were lost, an event described by many as "one of the greatest intellectual catastrophes in history." And her quest will involve such other real historic personages as Hypatia, Cleopatra's sister Arsinoe, Ptolemy the astronomer, and St. Augustine.

Q: The value of List becomes null when leaving for loop I am writing the following function to fetch data from Excel using Apache poi

            }
        }
        for(String tag:xmlTags){
            System.out.println("xmlTags:"+tag);
        }

        for(String tagval:xmlvalues){
            //System.out.println("xmlvalues:"+tagval);
        }

        dataToWrite.add(xmlTags);
        dataToWrite.add(xmlvalues);
        for(List<String> tagall:dataToWrite){

        }

    } catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return dataToWrite;
}

Here all the values are assigned to the List properly from the Excel sheet.
If I print the List's xmlTags & xmlvalues inside the for loop all values are printed properly after adding to the List.
But, once the for loop exits a null pointer exception is thrown. Here the List is reinitiated to null and I can't identify why it is happening.
The result of printing inside the for loop is as follows:
xmlTags:8[NoResponseOK]
xmlTags:9[NoResponseOK, TestIndicator]
xmlTags:10[NoResponseOK, TestIndicator, PrimaryObjectType]
xmlTags:11[NoResponseOK, TestIndicator, PrimaryObjectType, ChangeSubType]

Gemünden (Wohra) [] ist eine Stadt im nordhessischen Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg.

Geografie

Geografische Lage
Gemünden liegt ca. 30 km nordöstlich von Marburg am westlich angrenzenden Burgwald und am sich nordöstlich erhebenden Kellerwald. Der Ort wird von der Wohra durchflossen. Die Holzbach mündet hier in die Schweinfe und die Schweinfe in die Wohra.

Nachbargemeinden
Gemünden grenzt im Norden an die Gemeinde Haina (Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg), im Osten an die Gemeinde Gilserberg (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), im Süden an die Gemeinde Wohratal (Landkreis Marburg-Biedenkopf) sowie im Westen an die Stadt Rosenthal (Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg).

Stadtgliederung
Die Stadt besteht aus den Ortsteilen Ellnrode, Gemünden, Grüsen, Herbelhausen, Lehnhausen, Schiffelbach und Sehlen.

Geschichte

Gemünden soll aus sieben Dörfern entstanden sein: Holzbach, Giebelingsbach, Burghardshausen, Ernstdorf, Steigershausen, Osterbach und Katzbach.

Mittelalter
Die ersten urkundlichen Nennungen noch unter der Bezeichnung "Zegemunde" stammen aus den Jahren 750–779. Die zweite urkundliche Erwähnung war 1223 zu verzeichnen. Im Jahre 1253 wurde Gemünden erstmals als Stadt erwähnt. In dieser Zeit gehörte Gemünden den Grafen von Ziegenhain, die auch die heute verschwundene Wasserburg zur Sicherung ihres Besitzes anlegen ließen. Die Zugehörigkeit zu Ziegenhain kommt auch in dem Stadtwappen zum Ausdruck: In einem weißen Feld ist ein rotbewehrter schwarzer Hahn mit Ziegenkopf dargestellt; unter den Flügeln des Wappentieres befinden sich zwei sechsstrahlige Sterne. Als das Ziegenhainer Grafengeschlecht 1450 im Mannesstamm ausstarb, fiel die Grafschaft Ziegenhain und mit ihr Gemünden an die Landgrafschaft Hessen.

Frühe Neuzeit
Im 16. Jahrhundert erlebte die Stadt eine größere Blütezeit: 1523 wurde ein großer Brunnen gebaut, 1541 wurde die Schule errichtet, 1564 wurde ein Rathaus auf dem Marktplatz gebaut, und 1587 wurde die erste Wasserleitung aus Holzrohren gebaut. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch der jüdische Friedhof, der auch von benachbarten jüdischen Gemeinden, wie z. B. der in Rosenthal, genutzt wurde.

Die Katastrophen vom späten 16. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert forderten schwere Opfer. Der Brand von 1583 richtete große Schäden an, die Pest von 1584 raffte ⅔ der Bevölkerung dahin. Auch der Dreißigjährige Krieg und der Siebenjährige Krieg forderten von den Bürgern das Äußerste durch Einquartierung und finanzielle Leistungen. Nicht zuletzt dadurch kam es in dieser Zeit wiederholt zu Auseinandersetzungen zwischen dem Stadtrat und der übrigen Bürgerschaft um Fragen des örtlichen Haushalts.

1714 wurde auf Veranlassung von Landgraf Karl von Hessen-Kassel eine reformierte Mutterkirche in Gemünden eingerichtet, wo eine reformierte Gemeinde im Jahre 1689 entstanden war.

19. und 20. Jahrhundert
Im napoleonischen Königreich Westphalen war die Stadt Verwaltungssitz des Kantons Gemünden.

Nach dem Deutschen Krieg 1866 wurde Gemünden mit dem ehemaligen und von Preußen annektierten Kurfürstentum Hessen Teil der preußischen Provinz Hessen-Nassau.

Von 1909 bis 1914 wurde die Wohratalbahn gebaut, der Wasserleitungszweckverband gegründet (Gemünden erhält eine neue modernere Wasserversorgung), und eine neue Schule entstand. Die Wasserversorgung der Stadt und der Dörfer Altenhaina, Halgehausen, Bockendorf, Sehlen und Grüsen beruht auf der 1910/11 durch den Wasserleitungszweckverband Gemünden-Bunstruth gebauten Wasserleitung von der Kirschgartenquelle nach Gemünden und der 1967 gebauten Pumpstation in Kirschgarten.

1933 bis 1943 war die Stadt Sitz des Amtsgerichtes Gemünden (Wohra).

1972 wurde der Personenverkehr durch die Bahn eingestellt. Im Winter 1980/81 folgte die Einstellung des Güterverkehrs sowie der Rückbau der Gleisanlagen. Das Bahnhofsgebäude ist erhalten und heute ein gastronomisch genutztes Kulturdenkmal nach dem Hessischen Denkmalschutzgesetz.

Eingemeindungen
Zum 31. Dezember 1971 wurden im Zuge der hessischen Gebietsreform die bis dahin selbständigen Gemeinden Grüsen, Herbelhausen, Lehnhausen und Sehlen auf freiwilliger Basis nach Gemünden eingegliedert. Am 1. Januar 1974 kamen Ellnrode und Schiffelbach (Landkreis Marburg) kraft Landesgesetz hinzu. Für alle ehemals eigenständigen Gemeinden wurden Ortsbezirke mit Ortsbeirat und Ortsvorsteher gebildet.

Bevölkerung

Einwohnerstruktur 2011
Nach den Erhebungen des Zensus 2011 lebten am Stichtag dem 9. Mai 2011 in Gemünden 3896 Einwohner. Darunter waren 144 (3,7 %) Ausländer, von denen 26 aus dem EU-Ausland, 72 aus anderen Europäischen Ländern und 49 aus anderen Staaten kamen. (Bis zum Jahr 2020 erhöhte sich die Ausländerquote auf 9,2 %.) Nach dem Lebensalter waren 657 Einwohner unter 18 Jahren, 1503 waren zwischen 18 und 49, 861 zwischen 50 und 64 und 876 Einwohner waren älter. Die Einwohner lebten in 1599 Haushalten. Davon waren 426 Singlehaushalte, 435 Paare ohne Kinder und 552 Paare mit Kindern, sowie 162 Alleinerziehende und 25 Wohngemeinschaften. In 312 Haushalten lebten ausschließlich Senioren und in 1620 Haushaltungen leben keine Senioren.

Wappen und Flagge

Wappen

Blasonierung: "Im silbernen Schild ein Schwarzer Adler mit Ziegenkopf, unter den Flügeln je ein goldener Stern."

Der Ziegenkopfadler ist ein Symbol der Grafen von Ziegenhain, zu deren Besitz Gemünden ursprünglich gehört. Die Sterne könnten ein Verweis auf das Kloster Haina sein.
Die Wappenelemente sind seit 1352 belegt. Davor stand über Ziegenadler und Sternen noch ein Burg. In seiner heutigen Form wurde es durch den Heraldiker Otto Hupp gestaltet.

 Flagge

Die Flagge wurde der Gemeinde am 26. Juni 1981 durch den Hessischen Innenminister genehmigt und wird wie folgt beschrieben:

Flaggenbeschreibung: "Die Flagge zeigt auf der nach dem oberen Drittel von Schwarz und Weiß gevierten Flaggenbahn auf der Vierung das Wappen der Stadt."

Städtepartnerschaften
Im Jahr 1975 hat sich die Stadt Gemünden dem europäischen Gedanken verpflichtet und folgende Städtepartnerschaften geschlossen:
 Elsbethen im Bundesland Salzburg, Österreich
 Illiers-Combray im Département Eure-et-Loir, Frankreich
Seit dem Schließen dieser Partnerschaften wurden auf Vereinsebene zahlreiche gegenseitige Besuche durchgeführt, welche dazu führten, dass die partnerschaftlichen Beziehungen von der Bevölkerung Gemündens getragen wird.

Sehenswertes

Die Stadtmauer und der Hexenturm
1253 wurden Gemünden die Stadtrechte verliehen und man vermutet, dass aus diesem Anlass eine hohe steinerne Ringmauer mit vier Halbschalentürmen zur Sicherung der Stadt gebaut wurde. Durch die Weiterentwicklung von Waffen im 16. Jahrhundert verloren Mauern, Tore und Türme ihre eigentliche Funktion. Auf sie verzichten konnte man jedoch nicht, da sie vor umherziehenden Räubern Schutz boten. 1818 kam es zu einem großen Brand in Gemünden, nach welchem weite Teile der Stadtmauer abgetragen wurden; die Steine wurden vom Magistrat veräußert und zum Wiederaufbau durch Feuer vernichteter Gebäude genutzt. Der einzige Turm, der erhalten blieb, war der Hexenturm, der als Wachturm und zeitweise auch als Gefängnis diente. Er befindet sich auf dem Gelände des evangelischen Pfarrhauses.

Die evangelische Stadtkirche
Die Gemündener Stadtkirche entstand in ihrem Kern zwischen 1432 und 1485 als spätgotische Hallenkirche. Von 1803 bis 1806 wurde das Langhaus der Kirche aufgrund von Baufälligkeit gründlich umgebaut und es entstand ein klassizistischer Saalbau. Der Kirchturm befindet sich an der Westseite des Langhauses und ist 52 Meter hoch. Wie es in mittelalterlichen Städten üblich war, befand sich auf dem Gelände um die Kirche der städtische Friedhof. Die Begräbnisstätte mitten in der Stadt wurde im 18. Jahrhundert allerdings zur Belastung für die Bewohner und daher verlegt.

Das ehemalige reformierte Pfarrhaus

Nach dem Stadtbrand von 1583 entstand das beeindruckende Fachwerkhaus, das heute zu den ältesten Gebäuden der Stadt Gemünden zählt. Die Gemeinde erwarb das Gebäude an der Kirchhofstreppe im Jahre 1721 und für 213 Jahre bewohnte der reformierte Pfarrer das Anwesen. Bis 1838 war auch die reformierte Elementarschule in diesem Gebäude untergebracht.

Das Rathaus
Das Rathaus der Stadt Gemünden wurde 1823 errichtet und unterschied sich in seiner Bauart und Farbgebung deutlich von der übrigen Bebauung. Die klar gegliederte und großzügig durchfensterte, auf Türmchen und aufwendige Schmuckwerke verzichtende Fachwerkkonstruktion verdeutlichte den bewussten Bruch mit der Fürstenherrschaft und die Hinwendung zu einer bürgerlichen Gesellschaft. Das Rathaus wurde zum Mittelpunkt der städtischen Verwaltung. Ab 1834 fanden sich der neu geschaffene Gemeindeausschuss und der Stadtrat hier zusammen, um mit dem Bürgermeister an der Spitze über die Geschicke der Stadt zu beraten und zu beschließen. Das Rathaus war ein multifunktionales Gebäude. Die Gerätschaften zur Brandbekämpfung wurden dort gelagert und im Rathaussaal wurden Hochzeiten gefeiert und der jährliche Bürgerball abgehalten. Auch Gericht gehalten wurde im Rathaus. Das Gebäude war Zentrum des örtlichen Geschehens. Heute bestehen diese unterschiedlichen Nutzungen nicht mehr. Das Rathaus ist ein reines Verwaltungsgebäude und Amtssitz des Bürgermeisters.

Der alte Bahnhof

1911 wurde im Norden der Stadt der Bahnhof gebaut, durch welchen der Haltepunkt mit dem Namen "Bahnhof Süd" entstand. Mit dem Bau dieser Bahnverbindung waren damals große Hoffnungen in die Entwicklung der Stadt verbunden, da Güter und Personen schneller und auch kostengünstiger transportiert werden konnten. Die Postzustellung verbesserte sich ebenfalls. Allerdings erfüllten sich die Erwartungen in die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Bahn nicht und der Personenverkehr wurde im Jahre 1972 wieder eingestellt. Der Güterverkehr endete im Winter 1980/1981 und der Abbau der Gleisanlagen folgte. Geblieben sind das Gebäude des Haltepunkts Gemünden Süd und der Gemündener Bahnhof, in dem sich eine Gaststätte befindet.

Potential tram route next to Bristol to Bath cycle path criticised by cycle group
Sustrans has written an open letter to the leaders of the four local councils and the Metro Mayor
Esme Ashcroft
The potential use of the popular Bath and Bristol Railway Path for a light rail route is 'wrong', says a cycling charity.
Sustrans has written an open letter to the leaders of the four local councils and Metro Mayor Tim Bowles urging them to look at other option for a tram line.
It came after the Bristol Post reported that the new metro trains may run next to the cycle path to link the two cities together.
Several of the UK's top transport experts have been in talks with the Metro Mayor, leader of B&NES council Tim Warren and Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees about the ambitious £4.5billion project, the Post understands.
However, the local branch of Sustrans – which promotes cycling and walking – said there is not enough room on the path to run both a tram line and cycle route.
The letter says any attempts to combine the two might risk the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and impact on the natural wildlife corridor the route provides.

"The trackbed of the former Midland Railway line would not provide the simple solution to a rapid transit link that some consider it might," Sustrans director James Cleeton said.
"Not only would there be substantial local opposition but it would also require significant engineering and reconstruction.

"Additionally, the trackbed is not wide enough to safely accommodate the large number of people choosing to use it as a corridor for active travel every day.
"Light rail use of the land would not be compatible with the majority of the path's current usage value."
Sustrans says it supports the creation of a metro system to link Bristol and Bath, but it believes the route under consideration - which was part of the former Midland Railway line – is "wrong".
Mr Cleeton acknowledges the cycle route may be viewed as the "path of least resistance" by transport planners, but it will not help the region meet its target of reducing car travel and pollution.

"If the West of England is to meet the behaviour change targets set out in the Joint Transport Study, then it must tackle the problem of too many people driving in our region," he said.
"Enabling business as usual to persist on our road network whilst displacing foot and bike traffic from a green corridor is not a solution."
Bristol City Council has denied the Bristol to Bath track is being looked at, but a council source told the Post that the authority had met with several top rail executives to discuss the possibility.
South West Transport Network spokesman David Redgewell also said there are only two options available for an eastern metro route – run a tram on tracks next to the cycle path or spend millions building underground tube-style tunnels under the east of the city.

A spokesperson for Bristol City Council said: "A pre-feasibility study into the viability of introducing a mass transit system is being prepared for publishing soon and the signs are promising.
"What form that system takes is an evolving picture, which is being pieced together using more and more investigation and discussion where no ideas are off the table.

"Ground conditions look good and there are some initial thoughts on routes already being considered but no specific line of enquiry into a Bristol to Bath cycle path route.
"Costing the work up and establishing a financing model will be the next stage."
The letter from Sustrans
Almost 4,000 people are thought to use the Bristol to Bath cycle path each day since it opened in 1979 and it was previously considered by the two councils for a tram or bus line a decade ago before the idea was eventually scrapped.
People in Twerton 'forced to park streets away from their homes' unless they can find thousands of pounds to install their own driveways
Plans for an underground metro train system for Bristol were revealed last summer, but doubts have been raised about the viability of the project.
The scheme, which has a current cost estimate of £4.5billion, will include three lines linking Cribbs Causeway, Bristol Airport and the east of the city through the city centre.

This might be the best "I'm a Celeb" line-up yet.
We're pretty excited about the news that Scarlett Moffatt will be heading to camp, the Gogglebox star will no doubt have everyone in fits of laughter.
Scarlett will be joined by LOTS of people she's watched on the telly - EastEnders star Larry Lamb, Adam Thomas from Emmerdale, Ola Jordan from Strictly and Carol Vorderman from Countdown.
Olympic hockey player Sam Quek, former radio host and model Lisa Snowdon, and Jordan Banjo, who was part of Britain's Got Talent dance troupe Diversity.
The one with the reported biggest fee is radio presenter Danny Baker. Yep, news circulated that he's the "most expensive campmate ever". Will they get bang for his buck? We reckon so.
Rounding off the line-up are comedian Joel Dommett (who is really fit and once starred in Skins), Former England defender Wayne Bridge, and Homes under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts.


From our debut 2015 swim collection THE FANTASY. The In Jest Bralette is a beautifully shaped all-in-one bra, with thick supportive elasticized shoulder straps, and elasticized back piece; providing a better fit. Matching, hand-made in Australia, shimmery piping which follows floats vertically down the bust, which highlights a change in the digital print positioning.


In memory of Paul Harvey, a favorite radio broadcaster, click the link to reveal what Fake News has and hasn't been reporting lately.
My attempt at a red wave wave for Tuesday.
That wave should wash some of the ignorance into the sewer where it rose from.

Barry Morphew murder case: Wife had extramarital affair before disappearance
Preliminary hearing in Barry Morphew case began Monday morning
KUSA via AP, Pool
In this still image from video, Barry Morphew, center, appears in court in Salida, Colo., on Thursday, May 6, 2021.
By Shelly Bradbury | sbradbury@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: August 9, 2021 at 10:29 a.m. | UPDATED: August 9, 2021 at 5:24 p.m.
SALIDAThe missing wife of a Chaffee County man had a nearly two-year extramarital affair before she disappeared in May 2020, investigators testified Monday in the murder case against the woman's husband, Barry Morphew.
Morphew, 53, is accused of killing his wife, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew. She disappeared from the family's home near Maysville in May 2020, and was reported missing by a neighbor on Mother's Day 2020, prompting an extensive, yearlong search. Her body has not been found, and authorities charged her husband with murder in May 2021.
The affair was one of several pieces of testimony Monday that painted the Morphew's marriage as deeply troubled in the months before Suzanne disappeared. The couple argued about money, and Suzanne spoke about seeking a divorce in messages with a close friend. At one point, according to testimony, she said she would not feel safe alone with her husband and described a 2018 incident in which Barry Morphew pushed her into a closet and put a gun to his own head, asking if that was what she wanted.
"He won't speak of divorce," she wrote in a March 2020 text to a friend. "Begging for another chance. I'm so torn. But (in) my heart I know who he is."
Suzanne Morphew told none of her friends or family about the affair, FBI special agent Kenneth Harris testified Monday. The relationship with the married Michigan man began in late 2018 and continued until the day Suzanne disappeared, with the pair in frequent contact. They met up at least six times in cities across the country, testimony revealed, and professed to be in love.
Barry Morphew denied knowing about his wife's infidelity, Harris testified.
"He did say at some point he was suspicious of potentially an emotional affair, but not a physical affair," Harris said. "There are some questions about that."
Suzanne kept a "spy pen" — a voice-activated device that looked like a normal pen but recorded audio — because she feared her husband was having an affair, Chaffee County Sheriff's Cmdr. Alex Walker testified. Investigators found no evidence of such an affair, but the pen did record a conversation between Suzanne Morphew and her lover.
The man did not come forward on his own. Instead, he deleted accounts he used to message Suzanne shortly after she disappeared. In November 2020, authorities identified him and he spoke with investigators, saying he deleted his accounts both to protect himself and to shield Suzanne's reputation and legacy, testimony revealed.
In court Monday, Barry Morphew sat quietly, occasionally whispering with his attorneys, passing notes or pointing to papers in front of him. When his attorney, Dru Nielsen, talked about him describing Suzanne as his "angel" and a "special, wonderful person," he appeared to become emotional and dabbed his eyes with a tissue.
Monday's preliminary hearing offered the first look at the evidence against Barry Morphew, which has been kept secret since he was arrested. Investigators filed a 130-page affidavit detailing the case, but it was sealed by 11th Judicial District Chief Judge Patrick Murphy, who in June denied a request from The Denver Post and a group of media outlets to make the document public, citing concerns about Morphew's right to a fair trial.
Murphy ruled the affidavit will be released seven days after Morphew's four-day preliminary hearing, which is set for Monday, Tuesday, and Aug. 23 and 24.

In addition to first-degree murder, Morphew is accused of destroying, mutilating, concealing, removing or altering his wife's body in an attempt to avoid arrest, as well as possessing an illegal short rifle and attempting to influence public servants. In the 2020 presidential election, Morphew filled out his wife's mail-in ballot, voting for Donald Trump. He is charged with forgery in that separate case.
Morphew told investigators that he last saw his wife at about 5 a.m. on May 10, 2020, when he left their home to go to Broomfield for a landscaping job. He said she was sleeping and he did not wake her, Walker testified. He later said he texted her around 7:30 a.m. to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and became concerned when she did not respond to that text or others throughout the day.
He never called 911 or reported his wife missing, Walker testified. A neighbor took those steps. Investigators did not find any of Suzanne's blood inside the family's home or inside Morphew's truck, Walker said.
Suzanne's mountain bike was found the day she went missing in rough terrain at the bottom of a steep ditch off County Road 225. Her helmet was found about .84 miles away a few days later.
Morphew drove back from his job in Broomfield on the night his wife disappeared and went to the spot where the bike had been found. In video played in court, he asked investigators if it appeared she had crashed.
When a deputy said it didn't look that way, Morphew suggested she may have been attacked by a mountain lion.
"A lion?" he said, gesturing with his palms up. "Maybe?"

US - Your games have finally arrived with the fulfillment company and they should be shipping out from early next week! Keen an eye out and check your mail!
- I've still got to find time to grab the video of the trees being planted off my camera, but will endeavor to do so soon!
- If you have any questions about the rules please send me a message. I'm keeping a list of any FAQs which I'll upload to Vivarium's Board Game Geek page (please rate Vivarium here if you enjoyed it). By messaging me you'll not only get clarification sooner but it helps me keep track of what is being asked and what needs to go on the sheet.
I'm excited to see Vivarium make its way around the world and land with backers, 2 years ago I started development of Vivarium and to be able to put a neat little bow on it and have Vivarium out in the world at the end of this month seems rather fitting. However, there's still a lot of work to be done and I hope Vivarium has a long life and sees many tables around the world!
Anyway, any questions let me know!
Caleb O'Brien, Timo Honold, and 6 more people like this update.
Got mine in time for new year. Had friends round and played a few games. Lots of fun. Thanks for all the hard work!
I live in Canada and still have not received my copy. What time frame should I be expecting?

Q: webdriver.Chrome() is not working I am trying to use Selenium with Python 3. I installed Selenium and Chrome Webdriver. Pip was pre-installed with Python 3. However, i am getting this error message. I literally started learning this language yesterday, so please be kind if the error is silly.
Code
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
driver.close()

Error message
"C:\Users\...\PycharmProjects\untitled\venv\Scripts\python.exe"

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver' has no attribute 'Chrome'
Process finished with exit code 1

Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.

A: For that you have to download the stable release of Chromedriver, Then it will work
go to this link and download it - https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

A:     from selenium import webdriver
    url = 'https://mail.protonmail.com/create/new?language=en'
    driver.get(url)

It should work. It worked for me :)

I tried to execute the proc as shown below, passing the fin period and runtime parameter
execute dbo.glextract_branch_audit_figures'2018-08-05', 'E'

However, it is giving me the: Arithmetic overflow occurred error
I have a stock transaction_table that has a field called doc_amt with a big amount.
if I change this amount to something smaller it doesn't crash with the above error.
Please see the value on stock_transaction below:
refer on the procedure above
SELECT @mtd_goods_out

A: The maximum size of a money datatype is listed here - if you breach that size you will get an artithmetic overflow. Your only alternative is to use a specific numeric datatype instead which allows larger sizes:

Steelers @ Ravens
With so much noise surrounding the new Ray Rice video released Monday, it begs the question whether the Ravens have had enough time to prepare for their divisional rival Steelers.
Last week the Ravens offense stalled against the Bengals. Joe Flacco went 35 of 62 for 345 yards and an interception, with 80 of those yards coming on a TD to Steve Smith in the fourth quarter. Without Rice the Ravens started veteran Bernard Piece who fumbled in the second quarter and didn't play again. Justin Forsett took over and ran 11 times for 70 yards and a touchdown.
The Steelers' offense on the other hand was led by Ben Roethlisberger; who had a career-best 278 yards in the first half and finished with 365, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown that preceded a 38-yard scoring run by Le'Veon Bell in the second quarter.
Bell finished with 109 yards rushing while catching six passes for 88 yards, and he's looking forward to facing a Baltimore defense against which he totaled 166 yards and a touchdown on the ground as the clubs split a pair of meetings last season.
