Påskekrisen var en krise, der opstod i Danmark i ugerne op til påsken i 1948, da danske regering modtog en række efterretninger, der kunne tyde på en umiddelbart forestående sovjetisk aktion mod et af de nordiske lande, formentlig Danmark. Krisen illustrerede Danmarks manglende evne til at forsvare sit territorium, men desuagtet fastholdt den danske regering ambitionen om at forsvare landet i tilfælde af et angreb, i modsætning til situationen i 1940, hvor Danmark ikke ydede modstand ved den tyske invasion.

Det viste sig, at rygterne om sovjetisk invasion og kommunistisk magtovertagelse var grundløse. Krisen medførte, at Danmark tilnærmede sig planerne om enten at tilslutte sig en transatlantisk forsvarsalliance eller et nordisk forsvarsforbund.

Baggrund
I de første år efter afslutningen af 2. verdenskrig sås øget spænding mellem på den ene side de vestlige sejrherrer USA og Storbritannien og til dels Frankrig og på den anden side Sovjetunionen. Sovjetunionen havde befriet en række østeuropæiske lande fra den nazi-tyske besættelse, men havde hurtigt støttet en kommunistisk magtovertagelse i de befriede lande, der gjorde de befriede lande til sovjetiske vasalstater. De baltiske stater var blevet annekteret af Sovjetunionen, kommunisterne overtog magten i Polen i 1947, i Ungarn var der massivt kommunistisk pres på regeringen, Rumænien var besat af USSR, der ligeledes strammede grebet om det besatte Østtyskland. I Tjekkoslovakiet havde et sovjetisk støttet kup bragt kommunisterne til magten i februar 1948. Pragkuppet udløste ængstelse  i Vesten og i Danmark. Senere i februar 1948 havde Sovjetunionen fremsat et tilbud til Finland om en venskabs-, bistands- og samarbejdspagt, hvilket udløste betydelig uro om Sovjetunionens hensigter i Norden.

Danmark havde efter krigens afslutning fastholdt sin neutralitet og var uden alliancepartner. Situationen for Danmark var imidlertid således, at landet var ude af stand til at forsvare sig selv, hvilket den socialdemokratiske forsvarsminister Rasmus Hansen orienterede Udenrigspolitisk Nævn om i januar 1948. Det kommunistiske kup i Tjekkoslovakiet og kritik af Danmarks hævdede samarbejde med Vestmagterne i den sovjetiske presse lagde yderligere pres på den danske socialdemokratiske regering, der i marts 1948 anmodede forsvaret om udarbejdelse af forsvarsplaner, der kunne forsvare Danmark "med meget kort varsel" i tilfælde af krænkelse af den danske neutralitet. Sideløbende modtog regeringen rygter om en forestående magtovertagelse fra danske kommunister, hvoraf mange formodedes at være i besiddelse af våben fra modstandskampen, ligesom der verserede rygter om, at der var nedkastet våben i bl.a. Dyrehaven nord for København. Den danske ambassade i USA rapporterede, at Danmark ikke kunne forvente hjælp fra USA i tilfælde af sovjetisk aggression, med mindre Danmark selv ydede alvorlig og energisk modstand mod en invasionsstyrke. Det var forventningen, at USA og Vestmagterne ville reagere på en sovjetisk aggression i Central- og Sydeuropa, hvorimod det neutrale Skandinavien var vanskeligt at forsvare for Vestmagterne, i hvert fald uden en energisk forsvarsindsats fra disse lande selv. Den danske regering anmodede i marts 1948 om amerikansk våbenhjælp for at tilkendegive sin forsvarsvilje.

Den 17. marts 1948 etablerede Storbritannien, Frankrig, og de tre Benelux-lande en forsvarspagt, kaldet Vestunionen, men uden deltagelse af de neutrale skandinaviske lande. Samme dag havde den amerikanske præsident Truman i en tale til senatet understreget vigtigheden af, at angrebne lande selv forsvarede sig som en forudsætning for amerikansk hjælp, ligesom Truman kom ind på den usikre situation i Skandinavien.

Krisens forløb
De tiltagende rygter om en sovjetstøttet kommunistisk magtovertagelse eller en egentlig invasion fik den danske regering til den 20. marts 1948 til at nedsætte en forsvarsstab for alle tre værn, der skulle udarbejde en egentlig forsvarsplan i tilfælde af et angreb. Den 22. marts 1948 blev det besluttet at inddrage påskeorloven for en række af de danske soldater, der således ikke ville blive hjemsendt fra kasernerne under påsken. Onsdag den 24. marts 1948 (dagen før skærtorsdag) orienterede statsminister Hans Hedtoft Udenrigspolitisk Nævn om, at hæren og politiet var i forhøjet beredskab og havde intensiveret overvågnings- og patruljeringsopgaver. Der blev placeret bevæbnede danske krigsskibe ved Anholt, Læsø og Samsø. Samme dag blev befolkningen gennem radioen opfordret til at indrapportere alt "som kan være rettet mod den danske stats eller det danske folks sikkerhed". I påskedagene havde politiet og flere hjemmeværnsforeninger udstationeret mandskab i Dyrehaven, hvor der gik rygter om, at der ville ske nedkastning af sovjetiske faldskærmstropper.

Der herskede en dramatisk stemning over påsken, men der skete ingen invasion eller forsøg på magtovertagelse og allerede fra tirsdag den 30. marts 1948 blev det forhøjede beredskab gradvist afviklet. USA meddelte den 5. april 1948, at den danske forespørgelse om våbenhjælp ikke kunne imødekommes, men at man havde noteret den danske forsvarsvilje, som var en forudsætning for amerikansk hjælp.

Efterspil
Påskekrisen, og forløbet op til denne, havde udstillet Danmarks udfordringer ved at forblive en alliancefri neutral nation under den begyndende kolde krig. Krisen blev derfor på mange måder en katalysator for, at der blev fundet en permanent sikkerhedspolitisk løsning for Danmark. Venstre og Konservative ønskede en dansk tilslutning til Vesten, men den socialdemokratiske regering ønskede at fastholde en dansk neutralitet og så med bekymring på Vestunionen og ønskede i stedet en skandinavisk forsvarsalliance, der kunne værne om den danske neutralitet. Der havde inden påskekrisen været tale om en sådan alliance, og efter påsken i 1948 blev disse drøftelser intensiveret. Hverken Norge eller Sverige delte imidlertid den danske socialdemokratiske regerings interesser, og i februar 1949 blev forhandlingerne endeligt afbrudt, da Norge meddelte, at man foretrak en løsning for Norges sikkerhed i form af medlemskab af Atlantpagten. En dansk-svensk forsvarsalliance havde ikke svensk interesse, og den socialdemokratiske regering så herefter ingen anden udvej end at opgive neutraliten og lade Danmark tilslutte sig Atalantpagten ligesom Norge.

Påskekrisen medførte også, at der skete en formalisering af de mange hjemmeværnsforeninger, der blev samlet i et statsligt Hjemmeværn. Loven om Hjemmeværnet blev vedtaget i juli 1948 og trådte i kraft den 1. april 1949.

Anti-Alzheimer's Patch?
Medgadget Editors Geriatrics, Neurology
The work on a mouse model by the investigators from University of South Florida points to the possibility of a transdermal anti beta amyloid protein vaccine to prevent the dreadful Alzheimer's disease:
University of South Florida researchers report that a novel needle-free vaccine approach is effective and safe in clearing brain-damaging plaques from a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. The transdermal, or across the skin, vaccination, may offer a simpler way of preventing or treating the devastating neurodegenerative disease with less likelihood of adverse immune reactions.
The study was published online this week in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America..
"While many groups have shown vaccinating against the beta amyloid protein (Ab) can reduce Alzheimer's-like pathology including certain cognitive deficits, this study is the first to demonstrate that immunization using the skin may be an effective way to reduce Ab pathology," said senior study author Jun Tan, Ph.D., M.D., director of the Neuroimmunology Laboratory at the Institute for Research in Psychiatry, USF Department of Psychiatry.
"The beauty is that something as simple and non-invasive as a skin patch could potentially be a promising therapy for Alzheimer's disease," said study coauthor Terrence Town, Ph.D.
The Alzheimer's vaccine works by triggering the immune system to recognize Ab — a protein that abnormally builds up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients — as a foreign invader and attack it.
Previous research on an injectable Alzheimer's vaccine proven safe and effective in an animal model was suspended indefinitely when the initial clinical trial caused brain inflammation and death in a small percentage of patients. These serious side effects were secondary to an autoimmune reaction, which occurred when immune cells aggressively attacked the body's own proteins produced by the vaccine.
The USF researchers targeted the skin as the route of vaccine delivery in mice bred to develop age-related brain degeneration mimicking Alzheimer's. They found that transdermal immunization with Ab does not appear to trigger specific toxicities associated with past immunization strategies.
Specialized immune cells prevalent in the skin, called Langerhans, may direct the body's reaction to the vaccine toward a response that is beneficial instead of overly aggressive and ultimately harmful, Dr. Tan said.
The USF researchers plan to further test whether the transdermal vaccine can curb memory loss in Alzheimer's mice as well as reduce their "senile" plaque burden. "If those studies show clear cognitive benefits," Dr. Tan said, "we believe clinical trials to evaluate an Ab skin patch or topical cream in patients with Alzheimer's would be warranted."

Kathleen Werner: The Artist and Entrepreneur
By	Carly Zinderman Jan. 31st, 2017
Photos Credit: Kathleen Werner
Kathleen Werner is a fine artist with a true entrepreneurial streak. At only 20 years old, she designed and opened a boutique called Zen, which featured Asian art, meditation pieces and teas from all over the world. After establishing her retail space, she went on to design and open a gallery for large-scale modern art in Scottsdale, Arizona. While completing a program at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, she became interested in the idea of creating interactive art, particularly, "large pieces that could be both beautiful and useful. Concepts that could be an enhancement to landscaping or living areas while embracing true function."
Kathleen's initial project design is called Etazin, an interactive outdoor lounge chair and sculpture piece, which is now a permanent installation at Taliesin West. The Etazin Square is now also on display as a part of the art collection at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa in Gainey Village. More recently, she has immersed herself in painting and creating unique, large-scale pieces that capture an organic aesthetic with her one-of-a-kind aerial scapes. JustLuxe recently spoke to Kathleen about her passions, her art and her life.
When did you begin painting?
I only started painting in late 2015. The look of these paintings were born somewhat organically through various medium experimentations. I knew what I wanted the result to be, but it took me months to produce the desired effect and the better part of the year to perfect the process on such a large scale. The idea of these paintings had been forming in my mind for many years, but it wasn't until I moved to New York that I finally decided to get a studio and turn conception into creation.
Who do you consider your major influences?
I am influenced more by nature than I am by other people. Though I can have a deep appreciation for how a brilliant artist like James Turrell can manipulate light or how Frank Lloyd Wright brought us organic architecture, my true influence could be better attributed to something closer to NASA's landsat photography. It is this aerial scape, the world as viewed from above—or a geode sliced right through the center—that brings me the greatest joy and inspiration.
You attended the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona. How do you feel that impacted your approach to art?
I have always tried to incorporate nature into my work, but I believe the time spent at Taliesin truly honed my eye for geometry and composition. I find such a parallel between architecture and fine art. My work won't feel right to me if it doesn't have a strong statement or presence to it, sometimes in its simplicity and other times in the ordered chaos we find so often in nature. Taliesin is such an amazing place for artists of all kinds, my time spent there was one of the most impactful and unforgettable experiences of my life. Immersing oneself in such an environment, sleeping in the lush desert with coyotes and rattlesnakes, attending class with some of the most gifted architects and being pushed every day to the limits of your imagination and potential leaves a rare and lasting impression on your soul. I believe it gave me a very discerning eye, many times I have completely scrapped paintings, asking myself whether it is good enough, or better than my best. The latter being the only ones who make the cut in the end, and that has been a very valuable process in keeping a high standard to the work.
While there you designed what you call the Etazin, an interactive outdoor lounge chair and sculpture. How did that come about?
The Etazin chair was an unexpected creation. I knew right away I wanted to leave my mark in some way on Taliesin, many students during their time there choose to build a shelter in the desert, a kind of small, minimal living environment that really shows their personal design style and also serves as housing for many future students. I would often sit in Frank Lloyd Wright's private garden because just being in that space was very inspiring to me. In the middle of his garden there is a Japanese "moon gate", a circular doorway leading from one section to the other. I went and sat inside of this doorway, noticing how the curve of the circle hugged my back and felt so comfortable, almost like a hammock. The diameter of his moon gate is a little on the small side, so I imagined a chair that was bigger so you could really relax and lounge in it. The design was worked with for a few weeks. I have always been in love with the look of natural steel so the material was an obvious choice for me. The decision to make it be able to turn 360 degrees was really a product of the beautiful environment that surrounded us there in the desert; I wanted the lounger to be able to enjoy it from every angle. After finalizing the design, I received approval to have the chair remain a permanent fixture at the school. It is placed amongst the student shelters in the desert, anyone can see it on one of the tours of the grounds they offer daily.
What does the name mean?
The name is a made up word, comprised of two parts. Only myself and one other person knows the true meaning, it is always good to leave a little mystery in the world.
It's a permanent installation at Taliesin West. Is there only one?
The Etazin at Taliesin was the first ever made. There have been many made since then. People enjoyed the design so much after seeing it that there was a huge demand to make others that could be enjoyed for personal use. I now sell them through the website at www.etazin.com. In its second incantation, I designed a square version of the chair, the first of its kind can be seen on the beautiful back lawn at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa. It is also there as a permanent art piece that guests love relaxing and taking pictures in.
At age 20 you designed and opened a boutique called Zen, and you also designed and owned a gallery for large scale modern art. Where do you get your entrepreneurial streak?
I have never been content doing anything the usual way or in any kind of predetermined timeline or fashion. I am a woman who tends to follow her whims, and I have been lucky enough to not only have a "go big or go home" attitude but also family and friends who encourage such a mindset. It has not always been easy, but it is the struggle, the fails and the wins, the constant forward momentum that breathes excitement into life.
Tell me a bit about your current series of paintings?
These paintings—I am searching for the right term for them and am circling around "geotic art"—were considered for a long time before I began to make them. My father was a pilot and we traveled a lot growing up. I am most at peace high up in a plane, staring down at the earth and the breathtaking formations that can be seen from above. Every time I go into my studio to work on a piece I feel like I am creating new worlds, new galaxies—it's like I get to play God for a short time. There is no feeling quite like making a painting I just can't seem to stop staring at, recapturing that same feeling of flying through the clouds while looking down on the earth. I choose to make these paintings quite large, the smallest of which is 48" x 48", I have never been content with anything small. I started this current series about a year ago, and have since been hermitting away making this large body of work and only showing a few teaser shots on social media to gain a bit a feedback. Very soon I will be doing a show in Manhattan to introduce them properly into the world. It has been important to me to create a sizable collection, each one chosen thoughtfully and intentionally and judged worthy of being a representation of the whole.
Do you feel your style has changed much throughout the years?
My style has always felt the same, but what has changed has been the medium and the precision. From owning my own store, to interior design, to architectural design, to sculpture and paintings, I have always been very influenced by nature and geometry. Even though I have worked in many different fields, it has always been a very elemental style I am drawn to.
Have the new paintings been shown? If not, is there an upcoming exhibit planned?
The paintings have to yet been shown other than to a handful of friends in the city. I am eager to present them at a show we are planning in the new year.


Congratulations! You've decided to invest in your future by getting a Quinnipiac education. Great choice; there is tremendous value in a QU degree — just ask some of our 50,000 alumni who are thriving all around the globe in successful careers from law to medicine to communications.
We understand that your financial investment is substantial. That's why we invest in you, too. How? By ensuring that your Quinnipiac education is affordable. We know that navigating the financial aid process can be daunting, but we take the fear out of it by holding your hand every step of the way. Whether its grants, scholarships, loans or a job, we're committed to putting together a financial aid package that is just right for you.
You've got big dreams; we've got big plans for turning them into reality. Let's get started.
Use our online self-service system to view your award lettter information, or view more information on enrolling in a payment plan or make an immediate payment through the Nelnet Campus Commerce system.
But you may be surprised to know that nationwide, for students attending private four-year colleges, the average family can pay much less than the college's published price. With that in mind, we are pleased to provide you with this Net Price Calculator; it's the ideal tool to help you — a full-time, incoming freshman — determine what your actual annual cost would be to attend Quinnipiac University.
The net price calculator is designed with University awarding policies and approximate annual costs at the time that you are using the calculator. It is important to note that tuition, fee, room and board costs are set by the University's Board of Trustees in October, and financial aid awarding policies can and do change annually. All financial aid awards being provided by this tool are to be used for estimation purposes only and are as accurate as the information you provide. The University begins its official awarding process in mid January, and all official awards are subject to change based on verified data.
In assessing a family's estimated family contribution, the University requires just the FAFSA form. Families that know their federal (FM) EFC can enter these figures into the calculator when prompted. For those who have not yet completed the FAFSA, you will need to have estimated income, tax and asset data available in order to complete the tool to provide you with an estimation of your eligibility for grants, scholarships, loans and work-study programs.
It is important to note that this tool is only designed to provide financial aid estimations for: full-time, first-time undergraduate students.
The receipt of additional financial aid, such as athletic awards, employee benefits, tuition exchange, veteran's benefits, outside scholarships, etc. may affect the estimated aid being calculated. Please contact our office should you qualify for aid outside of the resources being provided in the calculator.
All students seeking financial aid need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online as soon as possible after October 1. This form is the most important document in your financial aid arsenal.
Quinnipiac's FAFSA code is 001402.
At the end of January, we start sending out Financial Award Letters. In your letter we'll spell out the details of your financial aid package, which can include grants, scholarships, federal student loans, and work-study jobs.
Students who receive a student loan for the first time are required to complete these online forms before they are eligible to receive payment. This process will take approximately 40 minutes to complete and can be accessed 24 hours a day.
Students and parents can apply for a PLUS loan, private loan or payment plan to cover costs not met by financial aid.
Beginning for the 2017/18 academic year, students who are filing"Early Decision" for admissions should have their FAFSA completed on or before December 1 in order to be evaluated for financial aid. Early Decision award letters go out in mid-December. Students filing their FAFSA after the December 1 deadline will be awarded aid in the order applications are received.
Award letters are generated in the order that FAFSAs are received and we will begin awarding students on a rolling basis beginning in mid-January. All applicants who meet the March 1 deadline should receive their initial award letter no later than April 1. The FAFSA form is not required to receive an academic scholarship.
Award letters are generated in the order that FAFSAs are received, on a rolling basis, beginning in late May after final grades are posted. All on-time applicants, whose files are complete and processed by our office, should receive their award letter no later than June 30. Incomplete files will be processed throughout the summer.
While we welcome late applications, funding availability is tentative after the prescribed deadlines.
We are committed to finding you every last dollar to ensure that you receive the maximum federal, state, private, and institutional aid for which you are eligible. We'll help you navigate the forms, stay on top of the deadlines, search out those scholarships, keep up to date with the legal changes. In short: we'll help you figure out how to finance your Quinnipiac education so that you can focus on being a student, not on filling out forms.
We've helped thousands of students realize that they can afford a Quinnipiac education by offering them financial aid packages that are a combination of scholarships, grants, loans and work study programs.
We know you've worked hard and we're happy to acknowledge your many academic and athletic achievements. The following merit-based scholarships are awarded automatically by the admissions office to incoming students. Unless otherwise noted, no separate applications are necessary; students are simply notified of their award in their letter of acceptance. Most scholarships are renewable for up to four years, pending good academic standing.
Borrowing money is one way to help you finance your Quinnipiac education. There are a variety of different loan options available to students. Whether you ultimately opt for federal or private loans, or a combination of both, our goal remains the same: to keep your debt as low as possible.
Your loan eligibility is determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We strongly encourage you to explore all of the federal loan options first. Why? Federal loans always come with far better interest rates, fees, terms and conditions, including a variety of cancellation and forgiveness provisions, than their private counterparts.
All students (freshmen, transfer and returning) are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be given consideration for federal aid including PELL, SEOG, Work-study, Federal Direct Student Loans and Federal Direct PLUS Loans. Many state grant and scholarship programs also require a student to complete a FAFSA in order to be given consideration.
The Federal Work Study (FWS) Program provides part-time jobs for undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. Here's the catch: while students are granted a certain amount of work-study aid in their financial award letter, they aren't guaranteed a job. Students need to secure their own positions. The Financial Aid Office does keep a listing of current work-study job on the MyQ site, but word-of-mouth is another good way to learn about anticipated openings.
Typically, more than 1,000 students work 6 to 10 hours a week at various departments around campus. All students earn minimum wage or higher.
We are pleased to provide you with a comprehensive set of standards that guide our financial aid practices. Our goal is simple: to advocate for you with the highest level of professionalism and ethical behavior.
Quinnipiac University has been a longtime member of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) and subscribes to that organization's Statement of Ethical Principals and Code of Conduct for Financial Aid Professionals.
Our seasoned staff are longtime members of the Eastern Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (EASFAA).
Our institution also belongs to the Connecticut Association of Professional Financial Aid Administrators (CAPFAA).
The university has adopted the Connecticut Code of Conduct. Our office adheres to all of the standards and practices that are outlined in the document.
On August 27, 2007, the Connecticut Attorney General announced that all Connecticut institutions of higher education had volunteered to adopt the Connecticut Code of Conduct: a clear roadmap that outlines the ethical administration of financial aid. In fact, Quinnipiac University, one of 17 private colleges and universities in the state, had worked closely with the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges (CCIC) in helping to draft this code.
Effective July 1, 2010, all colleges and universities are required to process all Federal Stafford and PLUS loans through the government's Federal Direct Loan Program. Private lenders no longer participate in the federal loan programs. We do not recommend lender lists for students or parents inquiring about private educational loans, nor do we recommend one loan program over another. Students are strongly encouraged to exhaust all of their grant, scholarship and federal loan options before considering private loans. Private educational loans often come with higher interest rates and fees, as well as other less favorable terms and conditions than those offered through the federal loan programs. Private loans require credit checks and often require credit-worthy cosigners, making them more difficult to secure. While we do not make private educational loan recommendations, we do guide families toward a website provided by ELM Select, a non-profit organization that provides an unbiased comparison tool for comparing private educational loans. We also suggest that you pay attention to your home state's loan programs which can often provide better terms, conditions, fees and interest rates.

Where are we? Some subterranean grotto? An alien garden? In the hands of ambient artist Steve Roach it's all up to the listener's imagination. Roach – with umpteen releases under his belt – has had a few years to explore, stretch, and hone his craft. Lately he's been trending toward greater use of analog gear, which makes sense given that he started out as a pioneering electro-acoustic artist way back when. Not that you can tell the difference, anyways. In the hands of someone this well versed in waveforms, filters, and a mixing console he could probably put a microphone up to my cat and the results would be just as good. As for the specifics of this release, it's typically mammoth comprising five pieces ranging from over nine minutes on the low end up to the title piece at almost 25 minutes. Each segues into the next, so it really feels like one massive, 75-minute journey. And there's enough variation and development that the hand of the creator is almost always present. "The Well Spring" evokes old-school electronica via sequenced synth melodies, whereas pieces like the title track or "Perfect Sky" take a more organic approach with irregular accents that burble or skitter across them. Ingeniously, the first and final tracks are mirrors so the entire thing can be put on continuous, seamless replay. Whether it's enjoyed for itself, or as an aid to meditation, relaxation or study, Roach has delivered yet another in a long series of sublime and expertly crafted sonic excursions.
Long the master of contemplative floating ambient music, Roach makes a deeply introspective work here that relies as much on silence as it does on sound, integrating soft-edged minimalist electronic loops with very subtle shading and a slowly evolving drifts that bridge the states of consciousness. In the distant background, one can hear subtle punctuations that eventually grow into something entirely new, opening a new portal that ends up overcoming all that was there before. Mechanically speaking, this is where the track changes – there are no dead spaces in between the cuts; instead everything just flows together seamlessly, in an evolutionary continuum. There are five long sections (the tracks) here for a total of almost 74 minutes, which should be plenty of time to move any listener from a stressful, agitated state of consciousness through a lower stress but high energy field, and ultimately into a zone where the senses align to guide the listener into subconscious areas where the sounds, colors and textures of the piece become one with the psyche. The ultimate effect differs depending on the listener's starting point, but the direction of travel is the same, ending up in a more reflective and perceptive place. Roach has many releases like this, where the sounds, loops, shifts and tonal variations differ, but the conscious effect is essentially the same. Those who are familiar with many of the releases we have reviewed here over the years will know exactly what to expect with The Delicate Forever. Those who haven't taken that step yet would certainly find a whole new world to travel within.

The interrogative-negative form is of common usage in English. It refers in fact to an interrogative sentence having a negation. We use it mainly when the expected answer is affirmative, or when we add a note of irony to the speech.
Don't you think he looks like his father?
Didn't they come to see you yesterday?
Can't you see that I mean what I say?


Every kitchen has food waste. Every single one. It's a global issue and no one is immune to it.
No matter how efficient your kitchen is, there will always be waste. Admit it, take control of it, and do the best you can do to put processes in place to reduce it.
Track your food waste. Then take action based on the data.
It's about processes you implement in your kitchen that make the most impact. Menu changes, repurposing, better time/temp control, transparency about food waste, and overall staff involvement will make the biggest impact.
The front line staff are the change agents.
It's really not the executive chef nor the sous chef that are making the impact, its the line chefs, cooks, and front of house staff that are doing battle. Sure, the executive chef analyzes the data and implements new processes and procedures, but its the front line staff that have the biggest chance to make changes.
The more open and honest you are about your food waste, the more apt you are to see changes.
Chefs should be discussing food waste and their reduction efforts each and every day. It should be the norm to have these open conversations with all in the kitchen. Tracking food waste, and putting in efforts to reduce it should be in the minds and actions of everyone in the kitchen.
Food waste prevention efforts take time and a focused commitment.
When it comes down to it, you are changing the behavior of the kitchen staff. Whether it's improving knife skills, inspiring increased awareness about tracking and food waste, implementing new work flow processes, or just helping the staff be more keen to the impact they can make--it all takes time. Looking for a quick fix is not the solution, but a long term focused effort is.
Tracking your food waste is easy. It really is.
LeanPath's software and hardware make it easy and fast to track waste. A typical transaction takes about 8 seconds. That is such a short time to get information that can change your operation and save you money.
Chefs shine when it comes to repurposing food.
I am still amazed at some of the creative and outright crazy things chefs do to repurpose food. From Citrus Peel Cracklings, to Carrot Peel Cinnamon Lattes - the ways chefs repurpose food is inspiring. It's like going on Chopped everyday and figuring out the best way to reinvent an ingredient. Repurposing ingredients keeps the creative juices flowing for all cooks and chefs in the kitchen, saves money, and cuts down on waste.
Chefs and cooks take food waste prevention seriously and they all want to do their part.
Most chefs and cooks I speak with are passionate about food and what they can do to waste as little as possible. Chefs feel a social, professional and moral obligation to treat all food that comes into their kitchens with respect. Respecting the efforts of the farmers that grew the food and the animals that gave their lives--it's all about honoring the ingredients we are so fortunate to work with and not waste any of it.
We are making a difference. One meal, one buffet, one kitchen at a time.
Being aware of the global crisis is the first step, and putting into action waste reduction efforts is the next. We are making a difference and seeing millions of pounds of food saved and kept in the food stream. The efforts the chefs are giving are seeing incredible results and we are still in the fight.
It has been a great first year with LeanPath. I love being a Food Waste Fighting Chef. I love helping and inspiring the chefs and cooks I work with on a daily basis. I still get to talk food each and every day and although my hands aren't quite as dirty and I don't come home smelling like salmon or garlic, I feel like I am giving back to this industry more now than I ever did. I look forward to continuing to do battle alongside chefs and cooks for years to come.


You like many other people may be dissatisfied with the color of your teeth. Discolored teeth may make you feel self-conscious, and possibly even keep you from entering into social situations. Teeth can be discolored for many reasons. They may be stained by tobacco, coffee, tea, soda, wine, sports drinks, calculus or tartar deposits and even certain medications. The good news is that you no longer have to settle for discolored teeth. We can quickly and easily whiten your teeth through procedures that have proven safe and effective called teeth whitening. Countless patients are already enjoying the benefits of teeth whitening. Over-the-counter whitening products may appear to cost less, but are for more expensive in the long run due to the amount of product you eventually must consume. Furthermore, store-bought products usually fail to do meet expectations. Whitening treatments should be done only under the supervision of a dentist following a proper examination and diagnosis of the discolored teeth. Wouldn't it be nice to smile with confidence, knowing your teeth look their best? Give our office a call today to learn more about how teeth whitening can make a difference in your life.


lu·lu (noun): an outstanding example of a particular type of person or thing.
It's a fitting concept for the small-batch ice cream made here. Winner of best ice cream in the state of Vermont.
lu•lu succeeds in making remarkable and wonderful ice cream that has quickly become well-known for its unique flavors and its dedication to the "farm to spoon" business model using local, seasonal products.


This is what we found while looking for a few Pansies to augment some of the containers at work. I fell for the streaky purple coloring and fresh smell of 'Columbine'. Overall I would have preferred Pansies because of their larger showier flowers but only Violas were ready at the nursery. It was nice to see they were offering (this is a grower) several different types for a change. We also got a flat of dark purple/white Viola and they seemed to compliment the lighter 'Columbine' flowers nicely.
Since I have a virtual mountain of work email to send out this post is going to be a little short. There is also a mound of paperwork that has to be dealt with. Get me back to the garden where I am more comfortable, please.
When the word viola is mentioned, I think of two things – the musical instrument viola and the flower viola. The color of the viola flower is of course a "soft" violet.


The Church Of The Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. Organized in 1908, the denomination is now home to about 2.3 million members worshiping in more than 29,000 local congregations in 159 world areas.
Under the umbrella of the Canada Central District, London First Church of the Nazarene (LFCN) was established in 1940. We are located in the heart of downtown London, at the corner of Wellington & Grey.
LFCN CONGREGATION: Our congregation is comprised of approximately 200 people from more than 27 world areas.
LFCN MISSION: Our mission is to produce committed, spirit-filled, involved disciples of Christ who practice the holiness lifestyle.
WE ARE NOW FULLY ACCESSIBLE!
"Soar Higher – Reach Further – Grow Stronger" – We give praise and thanks for the faithfulness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ towards His children! Years of prayer, saving and planning to make London First Church of the Nazarene (LFCN) completely accessible have finally come to fruition. As in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, we "came together as one" in this worthwhile endeavor. Construction began in March 2018 with the support of our faithful and selfless congregation and a welcome Government of Canada grant. Fundraising continues, but as of today's date, our church is now fully accessible! We look forward to the future and what the Lord will do in our midst in the weeks, months and years ahead.
Members and friends of LFCN would like to express our thanks to the Government of Canada for the Accessibility Grant in the amount of $50,000. LFCN's mandate is to serve London communities and surrounding areas in the name of Christ. By putting in accessibility standards we can uphold our commitment.

The beautifully proportioned folk art Austrian Empire food cupboard surviving from the first quarter of the nineteenth century retaining the original painted finish, now distressed and mellowed commensurate with age, having a moulded cornice above a central door with piercings for ventilation enclosing shelves, the base similarly fitted with a cupboard and central door and each door with original working iron locks, hinges, catches and key.
The food cupboard shows attractive wear and tear with scuffing commensurate with its age so there is some paint loss and general wear and tear. Elsewhere there is some old woodworm damage and some later replacements, with the rear feet bracket both being later. The piece has been treated for worm as a precaution and hand waxed but not tampered with in any other way. It stands true and is structurally sound.
Of a versatile size this is an undeniably attractive piece that would serve well as a dresser. Très hip.

Q: validation on form input not working I have a form that look like this
<form  data-toggle="validator" role="form" method="post" >
  <input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" required >
  <input id="rec_skill" name="tags-4" type="text" required>
  <select class="profile-select" name="industry" id="industry" required>
    <option value="">INDUSTRY </option>
       <?php foreach($industry as $indus): ?>
      <option value="<?php echo $indus->industry; ?>" >
        <?php echo $indus->industry; ?>
      </option>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
  </select>
  <input id="skills" name="skills" type="text" value=""  class="form-control" required>
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary psbtn-bg" id="submit_profile" >SUBMIT</button>
</form>

On click of a submit button if a input field is empty then it gets highlighted like this

and the code related to this part is
if(rec_skill=="" || rec_skill==null)
  {
    $(".tagsinput").css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
  }
else
  {
    $(".tagsinput").css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
  }

if(skills!='')
  {
    $(".tagsinput").css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
  }
else
  {
    $(".tagsinput").css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
  }

Now if a user fills any value in these input fields the highlighted color is removed. It is working fine for normal input fields but not for
 <input id="rec_skill" name="tags-4" type="text" required>

And

 <input id="skills" name="skills" type="text" value=""  class="form-control"
 required>

Above mentioned 2 input fields are created using this plugin and under this plugin "Tags input with autocomplete functionality" is being used
Now if a user fills these 2 input values the highlighted color is not disappearing. the code that i used to create this functionality was
$("#rec_skill").change(function()
  {
    if ($(this).val() == "")
      {
        $(".tagsinput").css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
      }
    else
      {
        $(".tagsinput").css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
      }
  });

$("#skills").change(function()
  {
    if ($(this).val() == "")
      {
        $(".tagsinput").css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
      }
    else
      {
        $(".tagsinput").css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
      }
  });

Can anyone please suggest how to remove the highlighted color if a value has been inserted or selected by user

A: Your jQuery is not correct. First of all your input has IDs rec_skills and skills so to call an element with Id you should use $(#idname) not $(.idname). Secondly there is no element present with class name .taginput in your code. Please take a look at the snippet for reference.
EDIT : its also better to use focusout in this condition to check if user skips the input field without putting any value.

$("#rec_skill").focusout(function()
  {
    if ($(this).val() === "")
      {
        $(this).css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
      }
    else
      {
        $(this).css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
      }
  });

$("#skills").focusout(function()
  {
    if ($(this).val() === "")
      {
        $(this).css("border", " 1px solid #B94A48");
      }
    else
      {
        $(this).css("border", "1px solid #ccc");
      }
  });
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<input id="rec_skill" name="tags-4" type="text" required>

<input id="skills" name="skills" type="text" value=""  class="form-control"
 required>

Hope this help

Birdview Distillery
PHOTOS: Max Houtzager and Nate Garcia
Brothers Scott and Kurtis Major, founders of Birdview Distillery, are on a quest to capture the Californian experience in a glass with a unique spirit they call El Castor.We sat down with the two to talk about their inspiration, process and goals making El Castor, the final product, and what's new with Birdview.
What motivated the decision to incorporate cactus into the El Castor's recipe?
For us, the cactus represents the purest essence of Californian aesthetic. Born and raised in the arid coastal environment, we came to ask ourselves the following questions: What is the "flavor" of California? How has this state and its endless beauty shaped our lives? What energizes California's subconscious draw, making it so desirable and sexy in the popular imagination?
Looking on a fundamental level at what comprises the Californian ethos, we notice its rugged yet beautiful climate. Southern California is a desert, which inspired us to use ingredients that are drought tolerant, sustainable and, most of all, emblematic of our home. The Californian environment spans endless visual pleasures, where succulents dominate native terrain and culture. Amongst the abundant varieties within this diverse family, there is one particular species of cactus that we saw fit to represent California in making El Castor: the beavertail cactus, which grew semi wild in our childhood backyard.
Why don't we see more spirits with prickly pear?
It's hard to say, but we think that people are more focused on products and flavors with an established market — products that have proven popularity, mass appeal, broad familiarity with how they taste and how well they sell. We chart our own path, and don't intend to start following in the steps of others. Our goal is to push our own personal conceptions of what is possible to create something that's maybe obscure, definitely unique and undeniably Californian.
How does El Castor bring one closer to Californian history and experience?
A unique hands-on manufacturing process, traditional equipment and techniques, and a passion for quality connects those who sample El Castor to the land where the prickly pears are grown, its longstanding passion for superior distillation, and the experience that these factors converge to produce in a unique artisan spirit.
El Castor is handmade in the most traditional, mindful and historically authentic fashion. We have spent 8 years developing our process, called Fruit to Glass. It starts in the fields of central California, where our growers tend to 120-year-old prickly pear plants. Each prickly pear is harvested by hand and transferred into 500lb totes, which are taken to our distillery, where they undergo a transformation process unique to our company; prickly pears have never before been processed in such a quantity for the purpose of fermentation, so we designed and built our own processing line. The crushing of the whole fruit into mash is where the prickly pears begin to make their transformation. The fruit is loaded manually into a machine that removes the spines, helps clean large debris from the fruit's surface and caramelizes the sugars. The fruit is then rinsed to remove any extra dirt and spines before the prickly pears are crushed into open top tanks, where our house yeast culture is added and the fermentation process begins, converting naturally occurring fruit sugars into alcohol. Fermentation is arguably the most important part of the process
Distillation concentrates the flavors and aromas by about 10x, therefore it is imperative to maintain clean, high quality fermentation facilities. In 10-12 days, when fermentation is complete, the largest and final transformation of wine to spirit occurs: distillation, where the alcohol in the fermented fruit is separated by heat from the wine. We use the most traditional double distillation process, borrowing our techniques and alembic still design from early Egypt and Arabia, where those cultures long ago perfected an alembic distillation method for grapes and honey. With respect to this process, little has changed over the few thousand that have since passed. I suppose this is the ultimate form of tried and true methodology, and it's what makes Birdview Distillery and El Castor one of a kind. The Fruit to Glass process is complete when the spirit is transferred into glass bottles, corked, labeled and ready for the public to enjoy.
What inspires you to distill unorthodox spirits?
Curiosity, and a passion to make something different inspires us to distill our unconventional spirits. There are so many amazing fruits, vegetables and herbs in the world. Distilled spirits as we know them are only scratching the surface of the endless flavors that nature makes available to us: that's why Birdview has dedicated itself to focusing on exotic and obscure fruits and plants. There are plenty of fruits out there which have most likely never been distilled before, so we feel it's our responsibility to make new flavors and aromas accessible for people, opening their noses, taste buds, and minds to new experiences.
What else inspires you?
Kurtis: "Surfing, cooking, jewelry making, art, traveling, and stepping outside of my comfort zone. I enjoy the awkward moments in life that make me question things."
Scott: "Nature, and a desire to understand the intricacies that make it so perfect, inspire me to think about new flavors and aromas that could be developed into a product."
That is something we ask ourselves every day: for Birdview Distillery, "what's next" is only a matter of our limits, which we constantly seek to push, and what nature provides. We have been exploring some new fruits that are uniquely dense and molasses-like, resulting in a spirit like no other, with the nose and notes of fine rum, spiciness of Bourbon and an indescribable musty-sweet undertone. Coming soon — look for it under the Birdview Distillery label.

Q: SQL Server 2008 R2 - How does the SQL Trigger actually work in this case? I have a table named _Test which has the following values stored in it.
Primary Key : Id

I also have designed a trigger on that table

--Some custom algorithm which takes about 2-3 seconds to complete

Now, 3 records were saved at the same time from 3 different sessions at the same microsecond like in the image below.

Question
Now my question is how will the trigger work for the last 3 records?
Will the last 3 records fire 3 different triggers:-

*

*simultaneously

*one by one (according to the order they are saved in)

*in any random order SQL seems fit

If the trigger is not executed one by one then what can i do so that they execute the trigger for the record of Id=5 first then after completion of that Id=6 and then trigger for Id=7.

A: Trigger code executes in the scope of the transaction that invokes it. Since, as you say, each of these three records is inserted by a separate session, this means three different transactions were completed, each inserting one record and executing trigger code for that one record.
If you initiate three (or more) transactions "simultaneously", you cannot control the order in which parts of execute transaction will execute beyond setting the transaction isolation level. If the isolation level is set to serializable, then the trigger code will execute "one by one (according to the order they are saved in)"; otherwise it will seem to run "in any random order SQL seems fit", subject to whatever locks each transaction obtains.

A: Warning: since I don't have enough reputation I can't write a comment and this is a comment.
AFAIK SQL server have only FOR EACH STATEMENT triggers. That means the trigger will modify simultaneously the rows.
A solution if you want to update each row is to use cursors which they are a performance killer. Perhaps more skilled people have better approach.

Make it Up
Winner in YouTube Partnership
Finalist in YouTube
Our objective was to create a groundbreaking new series format that would merge influencer tutorials with reality competition, without compromising the integrity and massive appeal of either genre. We aimed to deliver a modern viewing experience that fit the way young people engage with content today - on-demand across multiple platforms.
Make It Up is unlike any other competition series both in its production approach and editorial structure.
We wanted to create a show that embraced everything that makes influencer tutorials successful. Rather than pull our competitors out of their environment, we chose to have them complete each challenge in their regular home studio space. This ensured the fans who already tune in to their channels for content would be getting a level of quality consistent with their expectations.
In order to maintain fair competition rules despite the separation between competitors, we created beautiful branded show packaging in which to deliver the materials and instructions for each challenge. They were shipped and opened at the same time, and each contestant had the same amount of days in which to complete, film, edit, and submit their challenge video to production in order to be judged.
In contrast, we brought our panel of judges into one room to review and judge the contestant submissions each week, which created the overall structure for the series as well as a fun camaraderie between them. In order to bring cohesion between the two worlds, we connected everyone at the end of each episode through a group video chat. This gave the judges an opportunity to deliver their feedback and results at one time, and the contestants a chance to interact with each other directly.
The editing and distribution of Make It Up is also unique in that the full content of each episode cannot be viewed all in one place. Our strategy was to inspire full viewer engagement and drive views between the edited episodes on AwesomenessTV.com, and the full challenge tutorial videos made by each of the four contestants that live on their individual YouTube channels.
All five videos could be enjoyed on their own, but together they created one full episode of the series. They all went live on the five respective channels at exactly the same time each week, so that regardless of which segment a viewer found first, they could click to any of the other five and seamlessly continue their viewing experience. Throughout each contestant challenge video and our judging episodes, we included verbal and graphic calls to action to drive fans to the other segments. We also encouraged on-going fan engagement by assigning each contestant an emoji to represent them throughout the competition and reminding fans to support them by commenting with that emoji below any of the videos.
In order to maximize the reach of our combined cast of talent, we directed all judges and contestants to post about the new episode on social media the day each episode dropped. It was strategic to our series as well as our cast of influencers to repost each other on socials and drive fans to the judging episode in order to expand the overall network of viewers and fans.
The first season of Make It Up was incredibly successful on AwesomenessTV.com. We achieved our goal of creating an original format that embraced the strengths of our influencers' content and translated that into an engaging and exciting competition.
The feedback we received from the network, our cast of talent, and their combined fan base was consistently positive. Utilizing Instagram for polls about materials and techniques engaged fans while the contestants completed the challenges and generated investment and anticipation for the upcoming episode. The promotion of the series through social media also extended the exposure of the series beyond existing fans of our talent, which was evident in the comments.
The judging episodes saw an increase in views as the season went on, averaging 3 million views and included hundreds of comments from fans supporting the show and their favorite contestants. The challenge videos on each of the contestants personal YouTube channels also received tens of thousands of views and hundreds of comments.
Our pilot series has proven that this modern competition format can work and that there is a wide audience who is excited about it. We think this has huge potential for future integrations as viewers continue to move away from standard television series and seek out entertaining ways to connect with authentic, online personalities.

I would like to share my story is well. Currently I am 26 years old and I have been healthy and athletic my entire life. I used to be a construction worker and would do exterior remodels frequently. When I was 25 years old I was on a job removing the gutters of a home, and I came in contact with many ticks. (This was in Colorado in the Castle Pines area.) At that time I had no idea they were ticks because I thought they were bigger (like the size of a sunflower seed). But no, these were small like black and orange-ish sesame seeds. Anyway, later that week I started feeling really weak, really fatigued, really cranky, and my heart started doing weird things. (Later on I started getting a long list of other weird symptoms.) Long story short, I went to many doctors that had no clue of what I had and had many tests done. They ended up diagnosing me with ALS. Ridiculous!
My " condition" has worsened at an extremely fast pace. I am nearly a quadriplegic. I started treatments of antibiotics through the groshong catheter on August 16th 2013. I am hoping for the best. If treatments start working and I make a recovery I will make sure to let everyone know.
Also, I tested negative for Lyme disease on the ELISA and the IGeneX tests. The IGeneX test did show evidence that there could be a different type of spirochetal infection.

Q: a better way to draw grid as background I want to draw grid as in the below picture.
I know a trick to draw this by draw 6 vertical and horizontal lines instead of 6 x 6 small rectangle.
But if I want to have smaller zoom (zoom for viewing picture), the lines are many. For example, say my view window is of size 800 x 600 and viewing a picture of size 400 x 300 (so zoom in is 2). There will be 400 x 300 rectangle of size 2 x 2 (each rectangle represents a pixel).
If I draw each cell (in a loop, say 400 x 300 times), it is very slow (when I move the window...).
Using the trick solves the problem.
By I am still curious if there is a better way to do this task in winapi, GDI(+). For example, a function like DrawGrid(HDC hdc, int x, int y, int numOfCellsH, int numOfCellsV)?
A further question is: If I don't resize, move the window or I don't change the zoom in, the grid won't be changed. So even if I update the picture continuously (capture screen), it is uncessary to redraw the grid. But I use StretchBlt and BitBlt to capture the screen (to memory DC then hdc of the window), if I didn't redraw the grid in memory DC, then the grid will disappear. Is there a way to make the grid stick there and update the bitmap of the screen capture?
ps: This is not a real issue. Since I want to draw the grid when zoom is not less than 10 (so each cell is of size 10 x 10 or larger). In this case, there will be at most 100 + 100 = 200 lines to draw and it is fast. I am just  curious  if there is a faster way.

A: Have you considered using CreateDIBSection this will allow you a pointer so that you can manipulate the R, G, B values rapidly, for example the following creates a 256x256x24 bitmap and paints a Green squares at 64 pixel intervals:
BITMAPINFO BI = {0};
BITMAPINFOHEADER &BIH = BI.bmiHeader;
BIH.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
BIH.biBitCount  = 24;
BIH.biWidth     = 256;
BIH.biHeight    = 256;
BIH.biPlanes    = 1;
LPBYTE pBits = NULL;
HBITMAP hBitmap = CreateDIBSection(NULL, &BI, DIB_RGB_COLORS, (void**) &pBits, NULL, 0);
LPBYTE pDst = pBits;
for (int y = 0; y < 256; y++)
{
    for (int x = 0; x < 256; x++)
    {
        BYTE R = 0;
        BYTE G = 0;
        BYTE B = 0;
        if (x % 64 == 0) G = 255;
        if (y % 64 == 0) G = 255;
        *pDst++ = B;
        *pDst++ = G;
        *pDst++ = R;
    }
}
HDC hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
HGDIOBJ hOld = SelectObject(hMemDC, hBitmap);
BitBlt(hdc, 0, 0, 256, 256, hMemDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
SelectObject(hMemDC, hOld);
DeleteDC(hMemDC);
DeleteObject(hBitmap);

A: Generally speaking, the major limiting factors for these kinds of graphics operations are the fill rate and the number of function calls.
The fill rate is how fast the machine can change the pixel values.  In general, blits (copying rectangular areas) are very fast because they're highly optimized and designed to touch memory in a cache friendly order.  But a blit touches all the pixels in that region.  If you're going to overdraw or if most of those pixels don't really need to change, then it's likely more efficient to draw just the pixels you need, even if that's not quite as cache-friendly.
If you're drawing n primitives by making n things, then that might be a limiting factor as n gets large, and it could make sense to look for an API call that lets you draw several (or all) of the lines at once.
Your "trick" demonstrates both of these optimizations.  Drawing 20 lines is fewer calls than 100 rectangles, and it touches far fewer pixels.  And as the window grows or your grid size decreases, the lines approach will increase linearly both in number of calls and in pixels touched while the rectangle method will grow as n^2.
I don't think you can do any better when it comes to touching the minimum number of pixels.  But I suppose the number of function calls might become a factor if you're drawing very many lines.  I don't know GDI+, but in plain GDI, there are functions like Polyline and PolyPolyline which will let you draw several lines in one call.

Child abuse and neglect allegations are serious, especially in the state of Pennsylvania. One inaccurate and exaggerated phone call to the ChildLine agency can single-handedly ruin your reputation and limit your opportunities.
For the purposes of this article, we will discuss (1) what ChildLine is, (2) the ChildLine registry, (3) and the appeals process applicants will undergo if they wish to challenge a determination.
ChildLine is an agency hosted by the state's Department of Public Welfare. Its primary function is to offer protection for children and youth who have endured abuse. ChildLine's specialists operate a toll-free 24-hour hotline that is completely accessible to the public. People who have witnessed the mistreatment of a child are urged to call the hotline and report instances of abuse. Once an instance is called in, it is the job of ChildLine specialists to gauge the plausibility of this report by analyzing a variety of components. The relationship between a witness and the accused, the accuracy of details within a complaint, and the cultural differences between an observer and parties involved are just some of the factors that will be considered by ChildLine agency specialists. If the report is deemed feasible, a countywide investigation will be launched by ChildLine and Lehigh County's Children & Youth Services to find evidence supporting this report. If enough evidence is found (by the judgment of the agencies), an alleged perpetrator will be notified and listed on the ChildLine registry shortly after.
If your name is placed on the ChildLine placed, it is present alongside the likes of pedophiles and people who have committed heinous crimes against children. Those who have access to the registry - employers, organizations, law enforcement, schools etc. - will associate you with these types of people. Also, by law, being listed on this registry means that you are forbidden from being in the vicinity of children in social, private and professional settings. This strictly limits your access to potential careers, your involvement in your child's education, and activities that you may wish to participate in. Even events or jobs that don't involve or aren't centered around children may refuse to hire or accept you due to the stigma surrounding child abuse allegations.
In a scheduled hearing, a hearing officer will be tasked with reassessing a case with the basis of an appeal in mind. Then ChildLine will be given the burden of proving that you committed the actions in this report with clear and convincing evidence. If the agency fails in doing so, you will be granted an expungement. This means that the report, the findings, your name on the childline agency along with any related documentation will be eradicated from ChildLine and FBI databases.
If you have been notified by an agency that allegations of child abuse against you are "founded," you should consult with an attorney. You have the right to appeal this determination if you feel that these findings are unjust or unfair. For a successful outcome contact skilled legal professional Joseph D. Lento today for assistance.

Listen: This debate on the new Trump-endorsed immigration policy has something for everyone
davidmariuz/ Getty Images
RAISE, the immigration reform act endorsed by President Donald Trump, devised by Republican Senators Tom Cotton (Ark.) and David Perdue (Ga.) -- and debated with the press by White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller this week -- has become predictably controversial.
The purpose of the act, as the name Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy suggests, is to improve employment for Americans and raise wages by bringing skilled foreign workers to the United States on a point system similar to Canada and Australia. Points are awarded based on a potential employee's skill level, education, current job offers in the U.S., and their ability to speak English.
Syndicated columnist Reuben Navarrette, Jr. told fellow Latino Chris Salcedo, "English always prevails," during a spirited discussion of the new immigration plan on Friday's "Chris Salcedo Show." He strongly believes that most people who come to the United States eventually learn English, telling Chris, "We couldn't do this show in Spanish."
Chris felt overall that a merit-based system for approving work visas is an improvement for the American economy, whereas Navarrette argued that getting into the U.S. should not be like getting into Harvard or Yale. He says the plan reflects Washington D.C.'s detachment from the reality at the border, where immigrants are willing to tar a roof in 100 degree heat.
Chris argued that Americans would do those jobs, but his friend believes they price themselves out of the market. Chris noted it is not incumbent on the United States to accommodate other nations, which is a point both men somewhat agreed upon.
It is Navarratte's opinion that the skilled workers who come to the U.S. from China and India act like they are doing Americans a favor. Conversely, those with manual labor skills come with nothing, fall in love with the country, and have children who go on to do great things, including serve in the military.
Chris emphasized that the bill doesn't require higher skills or English speaking applicants, but does award points toward work visa distribution for those attributes.

Junior Grayson Hargens shoots a free throw during during the State semifinals against Lynn English on March 11.
Ending a 13-year drought, boys' basketball won the South Sectional title on Friday, March 8, defeating Mansfield 74-64. However, the historic run ended last Tuesday, March 11 at TD Garden, as North fell to Lynn English, 74-62, in the Division I State Semifinals.
North's defense started off strong on the defensive end, forcing a turnover and then drawing an offensive foul. However, as the first quarter progressed, the defense began to breakdown. Lynn English's accurate shooting led to a 18-3 run for the Bulldogs. During the run, Lynn English's senior Alonzo Linton and junior Jarnel Guzman dropped seven and nine points respectively. Guzman went on to score a game high 22 points, and Linton finished with 20 points. As well, Lynn English's sophomore Jack Rodriguez finished with 19 points. At the conclusion of the first quarter, North found themselves down 22-10.
"Their big three had huge games. If one of them didn't have the type of game they had maybe we might have been in it a little bit more," said Connolly.
During the third quarter, senior Ezra Pemstein, a captain with senior Christian Negrotti, ripped the ball out of Lynn English junior Mason Jean Baptiste's hands while he went up for a layup. The block marked a shift in momentum, as North went on a 10-4 run. As usual, Lynn English responded to North's run. Rodriguez scored eleven points in the quarter, helping Lynn English to regrow their lead to 13 points.
Linton and Guzman took over in the fourth, while North looked defeated, turning the ball over in crucial situations. Midway through the fourth the game was sealed and all the starters checked out.
North's top scorers were Duncan and junior Grayson Hargens, scoring 11 and 12 points respectively.
North finished the season 21-6 after starting the first seven games 4-3.
