Shorthand for Yes, Imagine like this: Your parenthesis are a defining principle to smileys, 🙂 ,) etc, so encase a Y (Stands for Yes) in Parenthesis, defining an emoticon, (Y) and it is a thumbs up because a thumbs up is a way to express approval with your hands, a way of saying yes.
😥 Meaning – Sad But Relieved Face Emoji 😥 This icon shows a face with a frown, distressed eyes, and a single bead of stress sweat rolling down its left cheek. It could mean worried, scared, upset, sad, or disappointed. Sad But Relieved Face Emoji is most commonly used when receiving bad or troubling news.
(y) (Y) (yes)
Y does not mean one certain thing of those two. If you're more used to chat programs like skype (y) means "thumbs up" which basically can mean yes. Just write the entire word so that there is no confusion.
Emoji Meaning The letter C, which can be used as part of a regional indicator pair to create emoji flags for various countries. Regional Indicator Symbol Letter C was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
👅 🍑 💦 = I'd like to eat your booty.
When you select a contact and open the conversation window, look for a small, circular smiley face icon in the box where you type a message. Select the smiley face, and Skype opens a window displaying the available emoji. If you're on a computer, scroll through the Skype emoji window to find the one you want to use.
You can access Skype's standard emoticon options by clicking the smiley face icon at the bottom right of your chat window. This gives you the option to insert a wide variety of emoticons. Use the gray arrows at the bottom of the pop-up window to scroll through the categories available.
The part alternation mark emoji looks like an oblong yellow M or a lightning bolt but is actually used in Japanese music notes. It shows where a singer is supposed to start singing within sheet music. Use it when you're talking with musicians or about composition. Codepoints: 303D FE0F.
Symbolism of the Letter "Y" The wide, vertical base of the Y represents youth (interestingly enough "youth" BEGINS with a Y). Everyone begins their journey on the path of life.
The Brief: The see no evil monkey means that someone doesn't want to see something. It can also be an expression of excitement.
Microsoft recently announced that Skype for Business Online is shutting down on July 31, 2021. Microsoft would like it if you switched to Microsoft Teams, a team chat app that also offers robust video conferencing. You could do that, or you could use the opportunity to check out other video conferencing apps.
it can mean a lot of things, it can be a friend zone. For an example you might say "your so cute" and the girl might say " ". She thinks that's very sweet but not interested in something romantically.
The Scorpio emoji ♏ depicts the sign of Scorpio, a constellation and one of the 12 zodiac signs in astrology. It is commonly used to represent Scorpio, people whose zodiac sign is Scorpio, and astrology in general.
Emoji Meaning Used in traditional Japanese music such as Noh or Renga, to indicate the start of a song. More specifically, the part alternation mark is displayed where the singer's part begins. This symbol looks sort of like a lopsided capital M, or a rollercoaster track showing a dip, and then a drop off to the right.
So, if you come across a smiley face that contains a character you can find on your computer keyboard, it's an emoticon. If it's a little cartoon figure that is free from the binds of punctuation, numbers, and letters, it's an emoji.
Emoji Meaning The Three Wise Monkeys represent the proverb see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, frequently interpreted as a call for discretion or willful ignorance. Often used as a playful way to convey a laughing, disbelieving, cringing I can't believe what I'm seeing! or I can't bear to look!
What is special about the letter y is that it can represent both kinds of speech sounds—depending on its position and the letters surrounding it in a word. Y is considered to be a vowel if… The word has no other vowel: gym, my. The letter is at the end of a word or syllable: candy, deny, bicycle, acrylic.
So the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength is: Incidentally, the funny upside-down y is a greek letter called "lamda". You may need to know this formula! Waves Menu. Go to next page.
Skype requires the use of a client program that is not free software, in other words, the users don't control it — it controls them. Skype's surveillance usually cause that much risk, but it is always an injustice. Skype refuses to say whether it can eavesdrop on calls. That almost certainly means it can do so.
Poop emoticon is not yet available on Skype. We are adding new emoticons to our collection every time, so be sure to check the Featured tab to see our most recently added emoticons.
The green bubble, "Available," indicates that the contact is online and visible to everyone. The yellow bubble, "Away," means the person is away from their keyboard or has been idle for a period of time. The red bubble, "Do Not Disturb," indicates that the user is online but does not wish to get notifications.
Emoticons are punctuation marks, letters, and numbers used to create pictorial icons that generally display an emotion or sentiment. (That's actually where the portmanteau "emoticon" comes from: emotional icon.) Oh, and because of the limits of our keyboard, most emoticons need to be read sideways.
Emoji and emojis are both considered correct plural forms of the word emoji. The word emoticon is a portmanteau, made by combining the words emotion and icon. Remember, an emoticon is built from keyboard characters that when put together in a certain way represent a facial expression, an emoji is an actual image.


put on a front - a way of behaving that is meant to hide your true feelings, thoughts, etc.
Can you usually be honest about how you feel at work?
Have you ever experienced any of these negative effects from faking your feelings?
@NatashaT , I edited the ç in your facade.
I have that letter on my keyboard.
Thanks @april ! I actually have that letter on my keyboard too, but I forgot Plus you will see it written both ways in English, since most English keyboards don't have it!
@NatashaT it's hard to tell. I am used to showing my emotions, BUT clearly being honest with our emotions it's not easy or appropriate in certain circumstances, even more at work. The point is, people can surprise us so it's hard to predict what is coming, especially when you're involved in customer service, then wether you like it or not you have to deal with it. From my experience, I tend to be empathetic, it helps me to address any situation in an authentic and genuine way. On the other hand, bottle my feelings up does not work for me. I feel like, I need to vent to some one, so that can blow off some steam.
In general, when it comes to this demeanor is something that we all have experienced at work. Not to mention that some jobs are tougher than others. Ultimately, if we want to put on a front or just get involved in every situation is our call. But the most important thing is to be clear that we cannot carry with someone else's load or take every single matter too personal.
Hello, of course my behavior at work differs, and also my behavior at home differs, and it differs every time according to the kind of people who I contact with.
The question is should I behave the same everywhere to be natural not false?
When it comes to repress your emotions and keep up your company's appearance with customers, I suppose some workplaces environments are extremely difficult to cope with.
Take for instance the cabin crew members cited in the article. I think the narrowness of the spaces render all much more troubling. I mean you can't go outside slamming the door just to give vent to your anger.
Sometimes, said the flight attendant, she felt the urge, the strong impulse to hit the unpolite customers or to throw something to them.
When you get nervous, anxious because you aren't allowed to put on and display your inner emotion, you often accumulate layers over layers of frustrations which go deeper into your damaged self-esteem.
With the experience, however, you can learn not to absorb any worry or work led frustrations; you simply let them slip down your outside surface, just like the rain drops down the umbrella's dome.
Especially in those kinds of jobs which require you to put on the company's uniform, you have to set your mind thinking you're no longer your authentic self: you have been turned a ' human resource ', nothing more than a puppet subjected to the company's rules and arrangements.
You even lose your name; while working on your shift, you're still a person only when being addressed and chatting with your colleagues; however, for the company you're just a number on the workforce's register.
Therefore you can still hold yourself a lucky person, if your company understand your emotional labour and allow you, from time to time, some break to relax and your genuine sentiments to surface and buoy, if only for a few minutes' span.
As the article said, you would also need a satisfying and full of interest life outside work; in order to prevent you from getting workplace-sick, you need to draw a firm dug line between your appearance at work and your authentic self.
Try to empathize with your customer, should be the optimal solution in order to display your true emotions and beliefs.
Nevertheless, if in doing so, you're faking even more your sentiments, I suppose it's better working a surface response.
I believe you certainly have to try to stick and stay true to your inner convictions and emotions; not feel forced to empathise in any cases though: because it could be detected as an hypocritical pose you're making up.
I think in some situations, a good strategy is thinking and operating lightheartedly as you were an actor on a stage: after all your customers usually expect you to perform your assigned part.
It may happen customers deliberately abuse and insult you, just because they know you're bound to operate within company's rules.
You either have better playing deaf or, otherwise, you are going to have a row and maybe suffer a disciplinatory action with your employer in the aftermath.

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son- in- law. " I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family, " said the man. " To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50- 50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations. " The son- in- law interrupted, " I hate factories. I can't stand the noise. " " I see, " replied the father- in- law. " Well, then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations. " " I hate office work, " said the son- on- law. " I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day.

The Mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from all the private businesses that they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police force, they decided to use a deaf person for this job. If he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able to communicate to the police what he was doing. Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $ 50, 000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The Mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector. The hoods find the deaf collector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can't communicate with them, so the Mafia drags the guy to an interpreter. The Mafia hood says to the interpreter, " Ask him where the money is. " The interpreter signs, " Where's the money? " r The deaf replies, " I don't know what you're talking about. " The interpreter tells the hood, " He says he doesn't know what you're talking about. " The hood pulls out a large gun and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. " NOW ask him where the money is. " The interpreter signs, " Where is the money? " The deaf man replies, " The $ 50, 000 is in Central Park,...

The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance levels. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile. The American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action. The Japanese team had six people rowing and one person steering and rowing; the American team had two people rowing and five people steering. After a year of study and thousands spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team. So as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure for the American s was: one quality assurance manager, two steering managers, one area steering managers, and a new performance review manager for the two people rowing the boat to provide work incentive. That year, the Japanese won by TWO miles!!! Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rowers for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

When the office photo- copies began to look faint, the office manager called in a local repair service. The friendly technician after inspecting the equipment, informed the manager that the machine was in need of a good cleaning.

Pleasantly surprised by his candor, the office manager asks, " Does your boss know you are discouraging business? " " Actually, my boss demands we explain this to all our customers". " After people try first to fix things themselves, we end- up making much more money on repairs"

Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood.

Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one. As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong. Gasping for breath, she replied, " When I see two gas men running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too! "

An American automobile company and a Japanese auto company decided to have a competitive boat race on the Detroit River. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the big day, they were as ready as they could be. The Japanese team won by a mile. Afterwards, the American team became discouraged by the loss and their morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A Continuous Measurable Improvement Team of " Executives" was set up to investigate the problem and to recommend appropriate corrective action. Their conclusion: The problem was that the Japanese team had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, whereas the American team had 1 person rowing and 8 people steering. The American Corporate Steering Committee immediately hired a consulting firm to do a study on the management structure. After some t ime and billions of dollars, the consulting firm concluded that " too many people were steering and not enough rowing. " To prevent losing to the Japanese again next year, the management structure was changed to " 4 Steering Managers, 3 Area Steering Managers, and 1 Staff Steering Manager" and a new performance system for the person rowing the boat to give more incentive to work harder and become a six sigma performer.

Chairman of National Australia Bank (NAB) Ken Henry, says businesses must "demonstrate that our social purpose drives the way we operate".
"Business leaders need to take up the job of breaking down the public's negative perception of corporate Australia as a cold profit maximisation machine, and elevate its role as a driver of incomes, jobs and wellbeing," he said.
"If we in business are going to be taken seriously in these debates, we will have to demonstrate that we are engaging not out of self-interest, but because we share a mission to improve the wellbeing of the Australian people."
Dr Henry has a long public service career behind him, including as Treasury secretary and an advocate for environmental protection.
The answer, he says, is to get "really serious about the social purpose of business".
Dr Henry said NAB had spent time reflecting on and defining its social purpose, finding that its bankers are motivated by helping others, bold enough to take calculated risks for their futures, families and communities.
"We know that today many people outside of the bank will be sceptical of NAB's purpose, and we understand why that might be. But we didn't write it for publication. We wrote it for ourselves.
"Different businesses will articulate their social purpose in different ways. But there should be a common thread. I would hope that all of us in business would be motivated by a purpose that contributes to improving the wellbeing of our community," he added.
Komosion offers services and workshops to help organisations uncover their purpose beyond profit.

Q: Access form ressources from code in VS 2015 (VB.NET) Good morning,
Context:
I have a localized VB.NET form, called Menu.vb
The localization is activated, so I have multiple ressource files attached, Menu.resx, Menu.fr-FR.resx...
I have added a custom string to those ressources files, and I would like to display this string in a MsgBox, depending on the culture selected.
Problem:
I can't access the form ressource from within the form code.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Maxime

A: Use System.ComponentModel.ComponentResourceManager to access the form resources:
// inside the form code - 'this' represents the Form instance
Dim resources As ComponentResourceManager = New ComponentResourceManager(this.GetType())

// get the string you want
resources.GetString("nameOfTheStringResource")

// optionally you can access the same with specific culture
resources.GetString("nameOfTheStringResource", new CultureInfo("en-US"))

October is National Seafood Month, a month dedicated to highlighting sustainable seafood. The demand for seafood continues to increase, while populations of fish and marine life decline. Georgia Aquarium is dedicated to helping protect our oceans and supporting sustainable fishing methods and seafood options. We are proud to be a conservation partner of Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch and be Seafood Savvy. Our Seafood Savvy program empowers seafood consumers and businesses to make informed choices for a healthy ocean, and ensure abundant supplies of seafood for the future.
Georgia Aquarium is proud to be a premier Wolfgang Puck Catering facility, and this National Seafood Month we are excited to feature a Seafood Savvy recipe from Chef Wolfgang Puck. To see a video of our very own Chef Roshan making this recipe, visit our Facebook page.
Adjust the oven shelf to the middle position and preheat the oven to 450°F.
Tear 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to fold over and comfortably enclose one of the sea bass fillets. Lightly season each fillet on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly spray one side of each foil sheet with nonstick cooking spray and center a fillet on one-half of each sheet.
Spoon 6 tablespoons of arrabbiata sauce over each fillet. Dot each fillet evenly with sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and olives. Arrange the fennel shavings over the fish and place 2 basil leaves on top of each fillet.
Fold the foil over each fillet. Double-pleat the edges of the foil tightly to create an airtight seal on the packets and carefully transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes.
Carefully transfer each foil packet to a dinner plate. Warn your guests in advance to watch out for and keep clear of the steam inside. Then, with the tip of a sharp knife, puncture each packet to let out some of the steam and let everyone carefully open their packets to eat the fish and toppings.

Max van der Werff from the Netherlands tries to find old traces of the Indonesian Independence war
He found one of the victims from torture in Sutojayan
Photo caption: Two nations: Marjolein (left) opa Dompig (Dutch veteran who was assigned in West Java) Ady Setyawan and Max van der Werff
Jawa Pos, October 20, 2013, By: Gunawan Sutanto, Jakarta
Max is interested in the history of Dutch colonialism in Indonesia. This Dutch blogger went to Indonesia to find out what his ancestors did in Indonesia and also to build reconciliation between our two nations. "Forgive, but never forget." That's what Max said when I asked him about his motivation to do this research in Indonesia. Last Saturday night October 12, he is excited to explain about his goals and his project.
Max arrived in Indonesia on October 7 and visited some cities in Java. This was his second visit to Indonesia. "I started my trip in Bandung" Max explains, he is wearing a black t-shirt with a Dutch and Indonesian pin on his chest.
He started his research after september 2011 when he read about the decision of the court about the case of Rawagede massacre. In that case, the court in den Haag decided that the Dutch government had to financially compensate 7 widows in Rawagede who are still alive, the incident took place at Rawagede village, Karawang, West Java, 1947.
On september 12 2011, Dutch ambassador in Indonesia Tjeerd de zwaan officially apologized for that incident. "The Rawagede case was a wake-up call for me, I'm sure there must be other similar cases which are still hidden in Indonesia" says Max.
In his whole life this man, who is working as a business consultant, has always been interested in history. He even collected some Dutch documents as proof of very bad things, such as massacres in Indonesia. For instance he has photos of executions of Indonesians committed by Dutch troops.
The documents moved his heart and encouraged him to take action: go to Indonesia to find the facts. His first visit was in 2011, after the Rawagede trial. "The first place I visited was Bandar Buat (Padang) and Sutojayan (Malang)" this father of a son and a daughter explains. In Bandar Buat there was a Dutch airstrike. While using a Mustang airplane, they bombed a traditional market. Hundreds civilians died during that incident in 1947. And at Sutojayan village, the Dutch troops burnt down the village and also tortured some villagers. Max found one survivor, even until today we can see his wounds caused by Dutch torture.
During the attack on Sutojayan village, there were three Marines who didn't obey the order, they refuse to put the village on fire. Max also became friends with the family of those three Marines.
After his first trip to Indonesia, Max met Marjolein van Pagee, also an independent researcher who has the same interest about the Independence war in Indonesia. Marjolein did research in Indonesia about the Police Actions together with Ady Setyawan. Our newspaper also covered about her research and trip. We interviewed this young woman who was born on May 2, 1987 at Ady Setyawan's house.
Through Marjolein, Max got to know Ady. So during his second visit to Indonesia, Max did his research together with Ady. Both of them have the plan to publish a book called: "Excessennota 2015", with "The last victim." as subtitle. "We want to write history from both sides, Dutch and Indonesian" Max says. Last September Ady went to the Netherlands to interview Dutch veterans as well.
Ady explains that 'excessennota' means record of war crimes. The first excessennota was written by Fasseur, a Dutch historian and published in 1969. The excessennota was written because of the confessions of Dutch veteran Joop Hueting. "The record was based on Dutch military files only, without checking evidence or location on the field" Ady says.
Max and Ady have the plan to launch their book in 2015. Why wait for 2 more years? "It will be 70 years since Indonesia got independent, and we need to collect more prove to make our book more accurate and detailed, not just only telling stories" explains the man who was born in Arnhem, January 1963. This book will also be an attempt for reconciliation between our two nations. They intend to write fair content, from primary data (interviewing both sides involved) and secondary data (archives and photos) from both sides.
Before this, Ady and his friends from Roodebrug Soerabaia community (who has interest for history) also did the same thing: interviewing veterans of the Independence war in Indonesia. Max expects that their book will be a first step of reconciliation between the two nations. "We must forgive what happened in the past but we should never forget, because that's the part of our history" Max says.
For Ady as an Indonesian, doing such a thing is easier than Max, because many groups in Dutch didn't like Max his project. Max has interest in this case because of his family history, his grandpa was a KNIL soldier who was sent to Indonesia and later married an Indonesian woman, from them Max Senior was born.
"My grandpa and father never told me about their story in Indonesia, every time I asked him he always replied that he didn't remember" says Max.
In 1956 my father moved to the Netherlands, and one day Max found an old photo of his father with complete TKR uniform with caption bandung 1946. "My father already passed away, I can't ask him the story behind his uniform." This mystery inspired him to look closer to the Dutch war in Indonesia. Also because of that photo Max started his journey in Bandung.
During his second visit, Max came to places where the killing incidents happened. Starting from Mandala Wangsit TNI museum and Pandu field of honor (Bandung), Candi village and Temanggung (Middle Java) and Sumberejo (Malang)
Some of his journey experiences are written on his blog www.7mei.nl. He chose to use 7 Mei as his blog's name to honour one of the Rawagede survivors: mr. Saih bin Sakam, this man passed away on May 7 2011, only 4 months before the court decided that the Dutch government was guilty.
Although the book will be released in 2 more years, Max feels that he must finish his history project. Because the witnesses and the veterans are too old. "They will not live forever, when all of them passed away where can I get the stories?" Max says.

Can anyone recommend a procedure or method to detect any raised wire after sheathing of Spiral Strand Steel Wire Rope?
You may want to follow the below steps in breaking down the sheathing process as any raised wire can be detected through a double sheathing process.
The inner sheathing layer should be extruded.
An inspection of the full wire rope length should be carried out in order to detect any raised wire through the first layer. To facilitate this inspection, the inner layer should have a color contrasting that of the galvanized wires.
Then only after the validation of this inspection, the outer sheathing layer should be extruded.
You should also pay attention on closing the cross-section and keeping the wire assembly as compact as possible as shown in the picture below.
Prior to the sheathing process, the entire wire length should be checked by visual inspection to detect any raised wire and defects in the outer layer.

Born to Be a Dispatcher
Like Like	Views 1105
Industries: Fire & EMS Law Enforcement
Topics: Command Center Software CAD NG9-1-1 PSAPs Public Safety Applications Records and Evidence
"Dispatchers," says LaTonya Chatman, "are born, not made." However, if you had asked her 19 years ago what the future held, she would not have predicted she was destined be a dispatcher.
"I was just out of high school, not sure about my future and not even considering work in law enforcement." It was around this time Mrs. Sandra Floyd-Turner asked LaTonya to consider becoming a dispatcher, a job she didn't even know existed. Still, Mrs. Floyd-Turner persevered. "She would come by the gas station, where I worked (as a cashier), before her shift and said she saw something in me and wanted me to consider it."
It was Mrs. Floyd-Turner who convinced LaTonya to apply to a local college police department, Florida A&M University Police Department (FAMU PD) in Tallahassee. Becoming her mentor, Lt. Beverly Stevens-Gainous helped put LaTonya on the path that began with a dispatching position at FAMU PD. "She worked hard at grooming me." Since saying goodbye to FAMU PD, LaTonya's current role is Shift Supervisor II (Lead Shift Supervisor) for the Consolidated Dispatch Agency (CDA), Leon County, also in Tallahassee.
When you ask LaTonya what she is proud of regarding this career, her answer is simple, professional and profound. "I am proud of 19 years of service dedicated to the citizens of Tallahassee, FL. I am proud of the many responders I have assisted in dispatch and the many dispatchers I have trained. To do the work we do and be able to work side by side with them over the years is an honor." And, of this work, it's the assistance they provide to the community that she takes most seriously.
"When someone calls 9-1-1, it's because they are having a bad day, and what is important to them is important to me. Since I am the first line of communication, it's important I provide them with assistance and with expediency. There's no way to gauge what is actually taking place, so I have to go on what they tell me. It is my duty to make sure I do everything I can to assist them." She acknowledges this comes with its challenges.
LaTonya recalls one of the most difficult 9-1-1 calls she's taken. It happened just a few years ago when she was the Communications Training Officer. "I heard a calm male voice telling me there was a vehicle on fire in the woods. He was calling from a rural area in the county where there isn't a lot of vehicle or pedestrian traffic. I asked him questions so I could assist with the response. He said there were people inside the vehicle and then I heard an explosion in the background. The vehicle was combusting. He said there was a child and adult female in the car and that the child was being pushed through the back window. And then I heard screaming inside the car, but I couldn't allow that to affect how I handled the call."
"My thought, after the call, was that the mother had sacrificed her life for the child before she perished. It gives me chills to this day. The child survived." With this on her mind, LaTonya knew she'd need to step away from her desk to regain her composure and provide the best help for the next caller, so she asked permission to take a walk outside. "My supervisor at the time, Shawn Miller, was very attentive and knew something was wrong. When it was over, he gave me a hug. Knowing that someone understood what I was going through helped me to come back in and be ready for the next call."
There is much advice to be gleaned from this event and how LaTonya and her supervisor handled it. But for her, there's one person's advice that stays dear to her heart.
"Accepting Lt. Stevens-Gainous' guidance was the best decision I ever made." She adds, "I love so many aspects and things about what I do. I thank God for allowing me to be in this position to help other people and to help groom future dispatchers." It was just meant to be.

Criminal Law Glossary terms
Arraignment — A proceeding during which a judge informs the accused of the criminal charges against him or her, asks the accused whether he or she has an attorney or wants a court-appointed attorney, asks how the accused will plead to the charges, determines whether to modify the initial amount of bail and sets a schedule for future court dates.
Bail — An amount of money that the accused must post so that he or she can get out of jail. If the accused shows up for future court dates, the bail money is returned. If, however, the accused doesn't show up or flees, the court will keep the money and issue an arrest warrant.
Felony — Generally, a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of more than one year.
Grand Jury — The grand jury decides whether there is sufficient evidence to indict a suspect and continue the criminal proceedings against him or her. The grand jury does not decide guilt or innocence.
Indictment — The formal process of charging a person with a crime.
Misdemeanor — Generally, a crime for which the maximum possible punishment is incarceration for one year or less.
Miranda Rights — Refers to a suspect's constitutional right to an attorney and right against self-incrimination. The name comes from the Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona (1966). Police must inform suspects of these rights upon arrest or when they detain a suspect. If the police fail to do so, any information obtained from an investigation is inadmissible in court.
Parole — The supervised release of a prisoner from incarceration into the community before the end of his or her sentence.
Plea Bargain — A negotiated agreement between a criminal defendant and a prosecutor that resolves the criminal matter. The prosecutor may agree to reduce a charge, drop one of several charges or recommend a more lenient sentence in exchange for the defendant's guilty plea, often to a lesser offense.
Probable Cause — Information enough so that there is a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed. Police must have probable cause before arresting a suspect or performing a search. This is also the standard for obtaining a warrant.
Probation — A type of criminal punishment that allows a person to stay in the community (instead of going to jail) as long as he or she complies with certain conditions, such as regularly reporting to a probation officer, refraining from alcohol and drugs and not committing further crimes.
Prosecutor — The attorney who represents the federal, state or local government in a case against a criminal defendant. Also, known as district attorney, county attorney, city attorney, United States attorney or state attorney.
Sentence — The punishment for a criminal conviction. The severity of the sentence generally depends on the nature of the crime for which a person is convicted. Sentences include: fines, community service, restitution, alcohol or drug rehab, probation, suspended sentence (only will be implemented if the individual fails to adhere to certain conditions) and incarceration.
Warrant — An order directing or allowing some action to be taken. Generally, a warrant is a document signed by a judge that allows the police to arrest a suspect; search a home, business or other location or seize property.

Q: Find the number of bijective function such that $f(3) \geq f(9) \geq \ldots \geq f(99)$ For a function $f:\{1,3,5,7,\ldots,99\} \to \{2,4,6,8,\ldots,100\}$. Find the no of bijective functions such that $f(3) \geq f(9) \geq \ldots \geq f(99)$ is:
The sequence has a gap of $6$. So, it is like $3,9,15,21,27,\ldots$ up to $ 99$.

*

*How I am trying to solve and understand the question

*

*As per law of finding number of bijective functions:
If $n(a) = n(b)$. Then, number of possible bijective functions $= m!$
Here, $n$ is a function name, $m$ is total number of elements in the sets $A$, $B$.

*What does it mean? It means that for every $1$ element of set $A$, $1$ element of set $B$ is possible. Now, using formula what we mean in basic term is:
$f(1) = 2,4,\ldots,100$ ($50$ ways). Now, $f(3)$ will be $= 4,6,8,\ldots,100$.

*Now coming to the question: They say
$f(3) \geq f(9) \geq \ldots \geq f(99)$.
As I think this means: The value you find in $f(3)$ has to be greater or equal to the value I find in $f(9)$ but I don't know the condition for $f(5)$, $f(7)$.
I am unable to think how to solve this to get that condition of $f(3)$ and neither getting what to do $f(5)$, $f(7)$.

A: Let $B = \{2,4,6,8,\ldots,100\}$, $n=|B|$,  $k = |\{3,9,15, ... 99\}|$.

*

*Choose a subset of $B$ of size $k$.

*Assign values from that subset to $f(3), f(9), f(15), ... f(99)$, such that condition $f(3) > f(9) > ... > f(99)$ holds.

*Take the remaining elements of $B$ (there are $n-k$ of them) and assign them to $f(1), f(5), f(7), f(11),... f(97)$ in any order.

With different choices in steps 1, 2, 3 this algorithm never produces the same bijection. Also this algorithm can produce any bijection (prove it).
How many ways to do step (1)? How many ways ways to do step (2)? How many ways to do step (3)? Multiply these three numbers, and that will be the number of bijections.

Oblężenie Głuchowa – walki prowadzone w celu zdobycia bronionego przez rosyjski garnizon miasta Głuchowa, które prowadziły wojska polskie i kozackie od 22 stycznia do 9 lutego 1664 podczas wojny polsko-rosyjskiej 1654-1667.

Pochód na wschód
W listopadzie 1663 roku wojska króla Jana Kazimierza i kozackiego hetmana Prawobrzeżnej Ukrainy Pawła Tetery ruszyły w wielkiej wyprawie przeciwko Carstwu Moskiewskiemu, w celu zakończenia efektownym zwycięstwem trwającej od 10 lat wojny. Armia składała się z 50-70 tys. żołnierzy (w tym około 24 tys. wojsk koronnych i 14 pułków Kozaków z prawobrzeżnej Ukrainy) oraz Tatarów w sile 30-40 tys. żołnierzy. Na wschodzie mieli dołączyć Litwini dowodzeni przez hetmana polnego litewskiego Michała Kazimierza Paca. Południowe Zadnieprze zajęła wydzielona grupa Jana Sobieskiego. Dniepr przekroczono w okolicach Rzyszczowa, omijając Kijów aby nie tracić czasu na jego zdobywanie. Pomimo zimy, wojska królewskie posuwały się szybko, jednak aby zdobyć żywność i ciepłą odzież oblegano po drodze mniejsze twierdze, co znacznie opóźniało marsz. Wojska polskie opanowały Boryspol, Krzemieńczuk, Łochwicę, Łubnie, Romny, Pryłuki i kilka innych miast na Zadnieprzu. Na początku stycznia 1664 Jan Kazimierz ruszył w stronę Moskwy.

Oblężenie
Od 22 stycznia oblegano Głuchów, którego bronił garnizon pod komendą Pawła Trofimowicza Żiwotowskiego i pułkownika kijowskiego Wasyla Dworeckija. 29 stycznia rozpoczął się szturm na skutek którego zniszczono część fortyfikacji miasta materiałami wybuchowymi i na czele z prowadzącym do boju żołnierzy Janem Sobieskim wdarto się do miasta. Wojska polskie dostały się jednak w zasadzkę i zostały ostrzelane ponosząc znaczne straty i musiały się wycofać. Pomimo skłanianiu się oblężonych w następnych dniach do kapitulacji, 8 lutego podjęto drugi szturm, na skutek którego żołnierze polscy i kozaccy ponownie wdarli się do miasta, ale i ten atak w rezultacie zakończył się fiaskiem. Na skutek podejrzenia o przekazywanie informacji o miejscach ataku zginął w niejasnych okolicznościach Iwan Bohun.

W związku ze znacznymi stratami i brakiem sensu dalszego oblegania miasta, 9 lutego wojska królewskie zwinęły oblężenie i ruszyły w dalszą drogę na Moskwę.

Po oblężeniu
15 lutego pod Siewskiem wojska koronne połączyły się z siłami litewskimi dowodzonymi przez hetmana polnego litewskiego Michała Paca (ok. 20 000 żołnierzy) i armia weszła na tereny państwa rosyjskiego. Wojska rosyjskie unikały starcia nieustannie się cofając, jednak 29 lutego armia króla Jana Kazimierza dogoniła pomiędzy Worońcem a Siewskiem główne siły rosyjskie, którymi dowodził kniaź Grigorij Romodanowski. Rosjanie jednak nie odważyli się na bój w otwartym polu i zamknęli się w obwarowanym obozie pod Siewskiem.

Brak silnej twierdzy jako podstawy dalszych działań, odwilż i wybuch powstania na tyłach armii polskiej na Prawobrzeżu oraz knowania Jerzego Sebastiana Lubomirskiego w kraju, zmusiły 1 marca wojska Jana Kazimierza do odwrotu w kierunku Nowogrodu Siewierskiego.

Po rozegranych latem tego samego roku bitwach pod Witebskim i Szkłowem wyczerpane długoletnim wysiłkiem militarnym obie strony rozpoczęły latem 1664 roku ciągnące się dwa i pół roku rozmowy, zakończone Rozejmem andruszowskim.

Frontal or frontotemporal dementia is a less common subtype. Earlier, all such cases were thought to have Pick's bodies, a specific type of microscopic abnormality, but many cases of frontotemporal dementia do not show this lesion. The clinical features overlap with those of Alzheimer's disease, but ''frontal lobe disinhibition" signs are more prominent: overeating, sleeping excessively, hypersexuality, motor agitation, and impulsive and unpredictable behavior. Following damage to the temporal and frontal lobes, impulsive behaviors are unleashed from lower parts of the brain, as in the case of Phineas Gage, the railroad foreman whose frontal lobes were crushed by a tamping iron over a hundred years ago. For example, I remember a patient of mine with frontal lobe dementia who gained eighty pounds in one year and lost a hundred pounds in the next. These changes happened without any conscious effort on her part to either diet or put on weight. It was as if the appetite center in the hypothalamus (in a deep part of the brain) was receiving different inputs from the damaged frontal lobes in different calendar years. Some patients with frontal lobe dementia develop complete apathy and lethargy, a near vegetative existence. This can happen even when memory loss is only mild to moderate in severity.
currently, there is no specific, approved treatment for either Lewy body disease or frontotemporal dementia.

Summary Part I, Chapters 13-14
Sal is with Terry for the next fifteen days: they want to go to New York together (Sal envisions her being "his girl" among the group in New York), but Sal only has twenty dollars. They try to make some money in Los Angeles, without success, so they decide to hitch to Bakersfield to work picking grapes. In Bakersfield, asking among the community in Mexican town, there is no work. Terry suggests that they go to her hometown, Sabinal, where they can at least live in her brother's garage.
In Sabinal, Sal meets Terry's happy-go-lucky brother Rickey, their friend Ponzo, and Johnny, Terry's seven-year-old son. They go out drinking together, and then Sal and Terry, with Johnny too now, stay in a cheap hotel for the night. Everyone is always talking about manana: tomorrow there will be work, tomorrow things will be better.
The next morning, Sal, Terry and Johnny go to the vineyards and cotton fields and rent a tent for a dollar a day. Their neighbors in the next tent are a whole family of "Okies." Sal goes to work picking cotton; he is slower than the other workers, and envies their ease and speed. Terry and Rickey help him. He earns just enough every day to buy basic groceries for his temporary family. For awhile, he enjoys the roles of husband, father and field laborer; after exhausting days of work, they spend peaceful evenings under the night sky. It gets too cold for them to stay, though, so Terry goes back to her family and sets Sal up in a neighbor's barn. She brings him meals and they make love a few last times, but Sal feels his life--the East--calling him back. On the road again, they say goodbye. Terry is resigned. She plans to come to New York next month, but they both know she won't make it. Sal hitches to Los Angeles, and then gets on the bus to Pittsburgh--as far as he can afford.
He watches the landscape as they pass through the Southwest, feeling an unidentifiable longing. He meets a girl on the bus, who buys him meals, and they make out casually until she gets off in Ohio. In Pittsburgh, with no money, Sal starts hitching. Walking along the road in the Allegheny Mountains, he meets "the Ghost of the Susquehanna," a senile old walking hobo, and realizes that there is wilderness in the East too. He hears saxophone blues in a roadhouse and feels lonely, hungry and tired. He sleeps in the Harrisburg railroad station, and is thrown out by the station masters in the morning. His final ride is with a stick-thin plumbing fixtures salesman who believes in controlled starvation for health. Sal is starving-the salesman relents and gives him some bread and butter. Sal, devouring the bread and butter while the salesman does business, starts laughing at his situation.
The salesman drops him off in New York, and suddenly Sal is back in the hubbub of Times Square. He has to panhandle for bus fare to Paterson, and people regard his haggard appearance with suspicion. When he finally gets home, he eats everything in the refrigerator, and his aunt pities how thin he is. It is October, and Sal is home again. His aunt tells him that Dean came looking for him, and left only two days ago, for San Francisco--where Camille has just gotten an apartment. Sal regrets that he didn't look her up when he was there, and that he missed Dean.
In Los Angeles, Sal finds a darker side to his visions of the West--"the loneliest and most brutal" of cities, "a jungle." Also here, mainstream youth intrude for the first time in the form of the groups of teenagers in cars, who yell at and make fun of Sal and Terry. What Sal and Terry have in common is that "anything was all right: with Sal, and that anything Sal does is all right with Terry. These words are often repeated in this section. Also, the idea that everyone was in "it" together is important. Sal, despite all differences of background, feels kinship with Rickey and Ponzo. None of them accomplish anything: what is there to accomplish? It is a shared sense of hopelessness, meaninglessness, out of which comes not bitterness, but a warm fellowship.
Sal speculates that the much repeated promise, manana-meaning "tomorrow"- probably means "heaven." This is symbolic of his entire attitude at this time: he tries to live solely in the present, content with the apparent surface of things. He can do the motions and suddenly be a laborer, a husband, a father. A telling moment occurs when Terry asks if Sal wants to make love to her, in the tent with Johnny there. Sal is concerned about Johnny. Even though Terry says Johnny's asleep, Sal sees that isn't--but goes ahead anyway. Though Sal is still perceptive and compassionate, he never resists the course of events. He describes people's actions clearly, but suspends any judgment-judgment is for manana. Similarly, Terry is resigned when Sal leaves. They both know that this was temporary, playing roles, but there is neither malice nor longing. This goes through to the farewell, Sal says he will see her New York but, even in that moment, they both know it won't happen. Suspension of judgment--of Dean, his friends, the people he meets--gives Sal the freedom of perspective necessary to finding joy in his adventures, if only temporarily.
Landscape, again, is important. In a beautiful passage, Sal looks out of the window of the bus as they cross the Southwest. He has a book, but "preferred reading the American landscape: feeling a "mystified" longing. He refers to disillusionment as the natural path of "nightmare life," describing the day of disillusionment as the "day of Lystergonians" (a monstrous people encountered by Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey). His tone has matured considerably--not the child-like exuberance of his journey west, but a slower, melancholy tone, though just as laden with description. Now it feels as though Sal is still while the landscape moves around him, not the reverse. This idea is epitomized in a moment when Sal, broke and tired in New York City, tries to get the nerve to pick up a cigarette butt to smoke, but is completely inundated by the crowd, and loses his chance.

The Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation operates in a unique and interesting space as the only organization that has a continuous eye on research and knowledge sharing in support of neurotrauma prevention and improved health care practices for those living with neurotrauma. Over the past 20 years this has allowed us to develop strong networks of researchers and stakeholders throughout Ontario, across Canada and internationally.
October and November are months where many of these networks come together and without fail, myself, the ONF Program Directors and program staff are in demand to speak about advancements, facilitate discussions and present the latest research findings.
What are we recognized for? We bring value to Ontario's health care system through the evidence-informed guidelines, best practices and standards that ensure research leads to new prevention initiatives and positive changes in health care practice for those living with ABI and SCI. What we also know is that it is difficult for those with ABI and SCI to get consistent access to care across the province. We believe that Ontarians with neurotrauma have a right to evidence-informed care wherever they live and however they became injured.
Those living with ABI, often not a visible health condition, can be shuffled through the mental health and social services systems in addition to healthcare system due to concurrent health and social issues. Those living with SCI are more visible but also struggle with consistency in the access to treatment. In a big city there are options not available in rural or remote areas where a long wait and a long trip may be required to received ongoing treatment.
Through research and collaboration ONF will continue to focus on its efforts to ensure evidence-informed care options are identified, qualified and as much as possible implemented. The thousands of Ontarians living with ABI and SCI deserve nothing less.
