SERDANG - Chancellor of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said the proposal to establish a new Agriculture University is not necessary, instead the existing allocation for such a proposal could in fact be allocated to UPM to further strengthen high-impact sustainable agriculture to benefit the community at large.
Sultan Sharafuddin emphasized that although the University has changed its name from Universiti Pertanian Malaysia to Universiti Putra Malaysia, it has always continued to strengthen various aspects of its niche in agribio, which has been the main foundation since its establishment, such as agriculture, forestry and veterinary sciences, as well as other related disciplines in line with the needs of the community and the nation.
"Recognition as a Research University and as Centre of Excellence in Agriculture Education and Agro-Biotechnology is testimony to UPM's support of the government's policy and objective to improve the competitiveness of the value chain in the agricultural sector, as well as to increase food production in a sustainable manner.

 @brief DocumentFragment is a "lightweight" or "minimal"
 Document object.
 It is very common to want to be able to
 extract a portion of a document's tree or to create a new fragment of a
 document. Imagine implementing a user command like cut or rearranging a
 document by moving fragments around. It is desirable to have an object
 which can hold such fragments and it is quite natural to use a Node for
 this purpose. While it is true that a Document object could
 fulfill this role, a Document object can potentially be a
 heavyweight object, depending on the underlying implementation. What is
 really needed for this is a very lightweight object.
 DocumentFragment is such an object.

Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as children
 of another Node -- may take DocumentFragment
 objects as arguments; this results in all the child nodes of the
 DocumentFragment being moved to the child list of this node.

The children of a DocumentFragment node are zero or more
 nodes representing the tops of any sub-trees defining the structure of
 the document. DocumentFragment nodes do not need to be
 well-formed XML documents (although they do need to follow the rules
 imposed upon well-formed XML parsed entities, which can have multiple top
 nodes). For example, a DocumentFragment might have only one
 child and that child node could be a Text node. Such a
 structure model represents neither an HTML document nor a well-formed XML
 document.

When a DocumentFragment is inserted into a
 Document (or indeed any other Node that may
 take children) the children of the DocumentFragment and not
 the DocumentFragment itself are inserted into the
 Node. This makes the DocumentFragment very
 useful when the user wishes to create nodes that are siblings; the
 DocumentFragment acts as the parent of these nodes so that
 the user can use the standard methods from the Node
 interface, such as Node.insertBefore and
 Node.appendChild.

Tewaaraton Winner Taylor Cummings Joins LaxCon Lineup
Paul Krome
John Strohsacker
SPARKS, Md. — US Lacrosse today announced that three-time Tewaraaton Award winner Taylor Cummings has joined the lineup of presenters at the 2017 US Lacrosse Convention (LaxCon).
Cummings, the only person — male or female — to win college lacrosse's most prestigious individual award three times, earned Oct. 8-9 a spot on the 25-member U.S. women's national team as it prepares for the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse World Cup. She was a four-time first-team All-American as a midfielder at Maryland.
A 2016 graduate with a degree in finance, Cummings recently has founded her own lacrosse instructional company and signed a sponsorship agreement with Under Armour. LaxCon speaker schedules will be finalized in the coming weeks, but Cummings will meet fans at the Under Armour booth immediately following her presentation.
"I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to be a presenter alongside Under Armour this year at the US Lacrosse Convention," Cummings said. "I look forward to not only sharing my experiences and techniques, but to having the opportunity to learn from different people and ultimately continue to grow the game of lacrosse."
LaxCon represents lacrosse's largest educational event and is set for Jan. 20-22, 2017, at the Baltimore Convention Center. The event is open to the public, and members of US Lacrosse can save up to $60 on registration. Special hotel rates are available for all attendees.
Cummings, a native of Ellicott City, Md., led Maryland to the NCAA championship game in each of her four seasons. The Terrapins won two titles; in each Cummings was named Most Valuable Player of the NCAA championship. The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association three times named her its National Midfielder of the Year. She set records at Maryland for career draw controls (509), draw controls in a season (114 in 2016) and caused turnovers in a season (52 in 2016).
Cummings will attempt to earn a spot on the final 18-player U.S. roster at the Team USA Spring Premiere Jan. 13-14, 2017, in Bradenton, Fla. The FIL World Cup is July 12-22, 2017, in Guildford, England.

Almost 27 per cent of 'sandwich carers' show symptoms of mental ill-health while caring for both sick, disabled or older relatives and children, says the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Sandwich carers, deemed as those that look after their elderly parents and their children, are more likely to experience symptoms of mental ill-health – which can include anxiety and depression – than the general population. The ONS says that, with life expectancy increasing and women having their first child at an older age, around three per cent of the UK general population, equivalent to more than 1.3 million people, now have this twin responsibility.
The prevalence of mental ill-health increases with the amount of care given, with over 33 per cent of sandwich carers, often aged in their 40s and 50s, providing at least 20 hours of adult care per week reporting symptoms of mental ill-health, compared with 23 per cent of those providing fewer than five hours each week.
The report also warns of the hidden pressures being carried by these mid-life carers, with warnings that they can be worn down emotionally, physically and financially - one in three sandwich carers say that they are 'just about getting by' financially.
The Carers UK charity says that, as well as putting pressure on health and well-being, being a carer is also tough on those balancing being a carer with their own jobs, many of whom are women. The charity estimates that about two million people have left work as a result.
Helen Walker, chief executive of Carers UK, said: "Beyond dual caring responsibilities, there is increasing pressure on sandwich generation to juggle work with caring and, as a result, it is one of the most time-poor and stressed generations. Given these pressures it is no surprise that more than a quarter of sandwich carers report symptoms of mental ill-health, and that this increases with the amount of care provided. As well as impacting on carers' health and wellbeing, the strain also takes its toll on their ability to work – more than two million people have given up work to care for older or disabled relatives.

Groby Castle is situated in the large village of Groby to the north-west of the city of Leicester, England.

History

After the Norman Conquest, the area came into the possession of Hugh de Grandmesnil. Groby was one of 67 manors Grandmesnil held in Leicestershire according to the Domesday Book. The Victoria County History for Leicestershire suggests that Grandmesnil founded Groby Castle, as does the English Heritage Archive. However, medieval historian R. Allen Brown suggests a foundation date in the third quarter of the 12th century by the Earl of Leicester. This figure was accepted by Professor Leonard Cantor and David Cathcart King. Excavations in the 1960s demonstrated that the motte, an artificial mound, was built around a stone tower.

Along with Leicester, and Brackley, Groby was one of three castles belonging to the earl that were destroyed (slighted) on the orders of Henry II after the Revolt of 1173–1174 led by his son, Prince Henry. According to historian Sidney Painter, it was one of at least 21 castles demolished on Henry II's instructions.

In the 13th century a stone manor house was founded on the site. Antiquarian William Burton noted in the early 17th century that Groby Castle "was utterly ruinated and gone and only the mounts, rampires and trenches were to be seen".

A fragment of one wall remains, together with earthworks consisting of a large mound of earth at the rear of the present manor house known as Groby Old Hall. Part of the site is occupied by the church of St Philip and St James. In 1962 and 1963 excavations were carried out at Groby Castle in preparation for the construction of the A50 road nearby. The road, which runs past the north-east of the motte, destroyed some of the castle's outworks. In April 2010, archaeological television programme Time Team undertook excavations at the castle. Groby Castle is a Scheduled Monument, which means it is a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change.

Fictional Groby
The ancestral seat associated with the protagonist Christopher Tietjens in Ford Madox Ford's novel Parade's End (published in 1925, and dramatized for television in 2012) is named Groby Hall. The stately home, with an ancient tree growing in the grounds half the height of an even deeper well, is supposedly located in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

"Tietjens was never going to live at Groby. No more feudal atmosphere!"
excerpted from Part VI of the third novel "A Man Could Stand Up"

one or more of your letters match with the word. Your turn will end when
you enter a letter that is not in the word: ")

Pickford Robert Waller, Reynolds's Age of Innocence - 1870s watercolour painting
An original 1870s watercolour painting, Pickford Robert Waller Reynolds's Age of Innocence.
This touching portrait is after Sir Joshua Reynolds's painting 'The Age of Innocence', one of Reynolds's best known works. Here the portrait possibly incorporates Pickford Waller's own daughter, Sybil Waller, who frequently sat for artists, including Charles Shannon and Maurice Greiffenhagen.
This picture is one of a group of female portraits by Pickford Waller that we have for sale, which show fascinating connections with painter James Abbot McNeill Whistler and his depictions of women at this time. Waller was an early patron of Whistler and became an avid collector of Whistleriana. This collection includes portraits by Waller of Whistler's lover and muse Maud Franklin, as well as various paintings of women in Whistlerian pose - employing devices such as sweeping folds of drapery, sinuous rear profile views and compositions with mantelpiece, Chinese vases and Japanese fans. There is also strong influence of the Pre-Raphaelite depiction of women in his work, and these pictures represent the fascinating cross-over of artistic groups and influences working towards the end of the 19th century: indeed Whistler's women have been described as 'Pre-Raphaelite ladies who have forsaken the medieval world for the Oriental'.
Unsigned.
In good condition for its age. The picture may have minor imperfections, such as slight marks, toning, foxing, creasing or pinholes, commensurate with age. Please see photos for detail. There are historic adhesive marks to the verso, from previous mounting.
15.2cm x 10.9cm.
Unframed.
This picture is one of a remarkable collection of works we have for sale by Pickford Robert Waller (1849-1930) which show his great versatility as an artist. Waller produced floral designs for wallpaper and fabrics, but he is best known as a prolific designer of books and bookplates: he produced book designs for authors including Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm and the poet and dramatist Laurence Binyon.
Many of the studies in our collection feed into that work: there are naturalistic studies of flowers, which were then worked-up into more stylised designs, and there are many humorous illustrations which could be used in books, including copies of work by Alice in Wonderland illustrator Sir John Tenniel.
Waller was a leading member of the Aesthetic Movement, which championed 'art for art's sake,' emphasising the sensual qualities of art and design rather than any practical, moral or narrative purpose it might have. For a late-nineteenth-century aesthete, though, Waller's background was unusual: he was the son of a builder. Robert John Waller ran a thriving building firm from Lyall Street in London, and when he died in 1892, Pickford Waller continued to run the business. Eventually, though, the arts came to hold more of his attention than bricks and mortar.
As well as being a practising artist himself, Pickford Waller was also an important collector and patron of the arts. In particular, he was an early supporter of James Abbot McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), who he first met as a young man when he visited Whistler's studio with the artist Matthew White Ridley. Waller became an avid collector of Whistleriana, and Whistler's influence can be seen in much of his work.
This collection was accompanied by a rare pamphlet, Bookplates by Pickford Waller, (pictured for information only, now sold) which gives examples of Waller's book designs, and includes an introduction by W.G. Blaikie Murdoch, discussing Waller's work. According to Blaikie Murdoch, as well as being himself 'a fecund artist,' 'Mr Pickford Waller is mainly known as a connoisseur, especially in modern art.' He was 'one of the earliest devotees of Whistler', with 'a wonderful collection of Whistleriana.' For Blaikie Murdoch, though, it is Waller's work in bookplates that 'forms an epitome of his capacities.'

EU Discusses Participating in UN Ceasefire Mission in Libya
On Wednesday, the European Union's lead foreign policy spokesman, Peter Stano said that the EU is considering participating in the monitoring of the Libyan ceasefire, under the auspices of the UN. He noted that the specific parameters of such an engagement have not yet been determined.
In late December UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres sent a letter to the Security Council proposing the establishment of a mechanism to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire in Libya. The mechanism is set to operate in the triangular zone around Sirte, with peaks in the settlements of Bin Jawad, Abugrein and Sawknah. International monitors will include civilians, former and serving soldiers and police who will report to the 5+5 Joint Military Committee (JMC), which will manage and oversee the ceasefire.
"We are aware of the communication from the secretary channel of the UN about the possible observation mission, and we would be ready to continue our engagement and discussions with the UN to think about to how to do this exactly because the observation or verification mission for the ceasefire is not yet ready," Stano said.
According to the spokesman, the EU is "ready to assist and do all it can to implement a political solution to the longstanding Libyan conflict."
At the same time, the bloc needs to know "what exactly such involvement would entail, and then look for the best way for the EU to assist with the question of monitoring the ceasefire in Libya," the official added.
On 23 October 2020, Libya's warring parties the Government of National Accord (GNA) and the Libyan National Army (LNA) signed a nationwide ceasefire agreement during United Nations-facilitated talks in Geneva.

Prithvi Shaw is a very talented player and I am happy to help him - Sachin Tendulkar
Staff Writer Updated: 29 April, 2020, 6:11 PM IST
Prithvi Shaw is one of the finest young batsmen in India currently. He scored a well compiled hundred in his maiden Test against West Indies. However, he got injured before the Test series against Australia. Prithvi was then banned for using a banned substance.
Prithvi revealed that he was supported by Sachin Tendulkar during his tough time. Recently, the former cricketer also admitted that he spoke to Shaw several times in the last few years.
He praised the young Indian batsman calling him a very talented player.
"Yes, it's true. I have had a number of interactions over the years with Prithvi. He is a very talented player and I am happy to help him. I spoke to him about cricket and also about life beyond the cricket field," he was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
However, Sachin refused to reveal the exact nature of their conversation as he likes to keep it confidential.
"I believe if a youngster has approached me and sought guidance, there should be an element of confidentiality attached to it, at least from my side. So, I would not like to tell you what the discussions were. That's fine. If Prithvi wants to speak about it, it's his choice, the 47-year-old added.

Q: Can't get JavaScript output on website The website is supposed to display a message counting down to the tax day. I can't seem to get anything to display on the page. The scrollbar doesn't even show up with the color even though I put in the write code. Some advice please.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>TaxDay</title>

The
 id is taxDay if it's relevant. The body onLoad event handlers are scrollColor(); countDown(); and taxmessage().

A: you are not closing the countdown() function before the taxmessage() function - meaning that taxmessage is nested within countdown(). Also you do not have semicolons ";" after each line of the js. You should rewrite the code to either include the function of taxmessage() or close out countdown() first and call taxmessage with arguments passed to get the date variables.

Hossam El-Badry reduces the national team leave to 24 hours only before the match against Togo
The players of the first national team, led by Hossam El-Badry, get a break from training tomorrow, Sunday only, that the team will resume training next Monday, with the camp closed on the same day after the technical staff decided to reduce the rest period to 24 hours instead of 48 hours, as was announced from Before, as Mohamed Barakat, the national team manager, had announced earlier that the team would rest on November 7 and 8.
The technical staff of the first Egyptian football team, led by Hossam Al-Badry, announced the names of the Zamalek players joining the list of the national team in preparation for the official preparations for the back-and-forth confrontation of the Togo team in the third and fourth round of qualifying matches for the African Nations Cup in Cameroon.

Injuries, and Al-Badri added that winning in the two confrontations with Togo is the way for the Egyptian team to rise to the African Nations Cup finals, and the reason for calling a large number of players is to compensate for injuries if they occur, saying that the circumstances to which the team is exposed did not occur in the history of Egyptian football.

Strategic Consensus: DOA in 1981; Resurrected in 2017?

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 475, May 24, 2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: President Trump's efforts to bring Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table are taking place against the background of a broader effort to recast US policy in the region. The memory of Secretary of State Alexander Haig's failed effort, back in 1981, to put together a regional "strategic consensus" against the Soviets may have faded, but the idea behind it is making a comeback. Facing the Iranian revolutionary regime and its proxies on the one hand and radical Sunni versions of Islamist totalitarianism on the other, key regional players are now more open than ever to an informal US-led alliance against their common enemies. The semblance, perhaps even the substance, of progress on the Israeli-Palestinian front can facilitate this; but even more important would be a firm policy on Iran.
The time may be ripe for a resurrection of the idea of "strategic consensus". Saudi Arabia and Egypt have patched up their differences after a long period of tension. The United Arab Emirates showed no discomfort at having their air force openly participate alongside their Israeli counterparts in an exercise in Greece. Jordan is more explicit than ever about the need to confront a possible Iranian threat from Southern Syria. A coherent US policy would – and should – also bring in like-minded Eastern Mediterranean countries like Italy, Greece, and Cyprus to help generate a new strategic reality. If such a consensus materializes, it would help both the Israelis and the Palestinians take risks and strike workable compromises in pursuit of peace.
As President Trump prepares for his first foreign trip, much has been made of the possible motives of several individuals regarding US policy towards Israel and the Palestinians. This refers specifically to the efforts of Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and a long-time friend of Trump's, to bring about a resumption of negotiations (echoing equally unauthorized forays into "peace processing" by one of his predecessors, Nahum Goldmann, who led the WJC from its inception in 1948 until 1977). Such interventions by individuals have their place in the policies of any government, perhaps especially that of a president with a highly personal style and little to no experience in foreign affairs, and an administration whose senior ranks have yet to be filled by seasoned operators.
Such input is supplied, however, against the background of a broader context: in this case, the administration's strategy of consolidating a base of support in the region. Led primarily by Secretary of State Tillerson and Secretary of Defense Mattis (both closely associated in the past with economic and military relations with Saudi Arabia), as well as National Security Adviser McMaster, this new orientation aims at reversing the sense of abandonment that marred the US's relationships with key regional players during the Obama years. It defines the purpose of the Trump visit as a whole, including its Israeli-Palestinian segment – and particularly the Saudi leg of the trip, which will include a broadly attended meeting with leaders of Muslim countries.
As such, the visit is eerily reminiscent of the 1981 failed effort by Reagan's first secretary of state, Alexander Haig, to bring about a "strategic consensus" between the key pro-American players in the region, mainly Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Reagan had inherited from Carter a world in which the Soviets were on the march, having invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. Pro-Soviet elements (including, at the time, Arafat and the Palestinian leadership) were gaining ground in the Middle East and beyond, from Nicaragua to Laos. The fear was real; and so, presumably, was to be the response. This was not to be a formal alliance – the days of MEDO (attempted under Truman) and the Baghdad Pact (in the Eisenhower era) were long gone – but a loose framework for coordination, emphasizing a common stand against a common enemy.
This turned out to be much too ambitious. In ideological and identity terms, the regional players were too far apart. The Arab world was still committed to a boycott not only of Israel but of Egypt as well, ever since Sadat broke ranks in 1977 and went to Jerusalem to seek peace. The PLO, led by Arafat, was still a major pro-Soviet presence casting a long political shadow. Even Egypt was reluctant to cooperate openly with Israel, given the fragile relationship between Sadat (who was assassinated a few months later) and Prime Minister Begin.
In practical terms, each nation was willing to do its part to support the US in the renewed Cold War. Egypt helped in Africa, and Saudi Arabia financed much of the Reagan Doctrine's clandestine anti-Soviet operations. Israel, with a nod from the White House, moved in 1982 to destroy the PLO base in Lebanon and with it, the support infrastructure for KGB-sponsored terror groups from around the world. All this was done, however, directly with Washington and with little or no need for help from the other parties. The term "strategic consensus" vanished, having become synonymous with the illusions fostered by Haig during his short tenure on the seventh floor in Foggy Bottom.
Such a failure to read the region could happen again. The Trump administration is already being accused by critics, from both right and left, of playing with hopes that are bound to collapse sooner rather than later. But conditions have radically changed since 1981, and some form of revived strategic consensus might be an idea whose time has come.
Egypt – while roundly attacked by Erdoğan's Turkey – is no longer an Arab pariah. The Arab League institutions are back in Cairo, led by an Egyptian Secretary-General, and no Arab regime still upholds the boycott. Strategic relations with Israel are at an all-time high, and it is the Egyptians who now complain that Israeli embassy staff no longer live in Cairo due to security concerns.
The sense of common effort in the war against Islamist terrorism is an important driver in the relationship, even if for the Egyptians, the Muslim Brotherhood comes first on the list of enemies (hence the lame effort by Hamas to distance itself from the mother movement) and Iran comes last. After Trump came to power, President Sisi was finally welcomed at the White House. He has patched up his troubled relationship with Saudi Arabia, making the strategic consensus much more of a practical reality than it has been.
Moreover, since 1994, Jordan – small, but with a robust and well-trained army, and centrally located in both defensive and offensive operations against Islamist challenges, both Sunni and Shia – has joined the circle of peace. Despite ugly tones from time to time (such as the recent angry official reaction to the killing of a knife-wielding Jordanian visitor who had attacked and wounded a policeman in Jerusalem, and the refusal to comply with the extradition request for Ahlam Tamimi, a convicted mass murderer), Jordan maintains a close working relationship with both Israel and the US government. King Abdallah II has struck an effective personal note with President Trump, with whom he has already met twice.
In recent weeks, against the background of a large Centcom military exercise ("Eager Lion") in northern Jordan, tensions have been rising with Iran. The King is acutely aware that Iranian designs to turn the West Bank into "a new Gaza" will require first the establishment of a Hezbollah presence on his border in the southern Golan, and then the destabilization of his own kingdom. This is a scenario that both Jordan and Israel are determined to prevent.
The fourth pillar, if one counts Israel, of this emerging consensus is composed jointly of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. (Of the other Gulf states, Qatar has placed itself in a different camp as an ally of Turkey in supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas; Bahrain is weak and internally divided between a Sunni monarch and a Shia majority; Kuwait is too fragile and apprehensive, with an Iran-dominated Iraq on her border; and Oman is historically close to the Iranians.) With the Saudis and the UAE steadily escalating their military involvement in the war against the Iranian-backed Houthi uprising in Yemen, the "game of camps" in the Arabian Peninsula has become a deadly shooting war, matched by bursts of ideological and religious invective from both sides. In Syria, meanwhile, the Gulf powers are present by proxy, essentially assisting anyone willing to fight the Iranian-backed Assad regime.
With Israel increasingly perceived as an effective ally against Iran's regional ambitions, past barriers to cooperation have been falling. This goes a long way towards explaining the ease with which Greece obtained the consent of the UAE to send an air force contingent to a multinational exercise in which Israeli pilots trained side by side with their Greek (and Egyptian) colleagues. The UAE did not even insist on maintaining secrecy.
This event, in turn, raises an additional idea. The Trump administration would do well to use the Brussels leg of the visit to bolster relations with the key European pillars of an Eastern Mediterranean strategy. It could thus add an important component in building a robust new format for strategic cooperation. Such an array of forces could also help the US handle the fallout from future friction with an increasingly Islamist Turkey, given the Pentagon's decision to support the Kurds in northeastern Syria ("Rojava", as the Kurds call it).
The players here are Italy, possibly Croatia and Albania, certainly Greece, and, because of geopolitics (and gas), Cyprus as well (though it is not a member of NATO). A revived consensus will require a redefined strategic concept focused on Eastern Mediterranean stability and security. This would provide Israel and her neighbors with a sense of strategic identity that could in turn make it easier for both sides to take further steps towards an Israeli-Palestinian understanding – a permanent status agreement, or, more likely, a workable half-way station.
Progress towards this goal, or at least the reemergence of a viable framework for negotiations, should not be a precondition for cooperation. The key players' vital interests should not be subjected to the whims of a Palestinian leadership that has lost its nerve many times at the point of decision. It is nevertheless worth trying, from the administration's point of view, if only because the effort in itself could make it politically easier for all participants to take strategic consensus to the next level. That would mean beginning to work together in a measured way, not only to fend off but to roll back the gains made by the Islamist totalitarians over the past ten years.

Urban schools are often viewed as disorderly and unsafe, and often have poor conditions for learning that affect student attendance, behavior, achievement, and safety.
replacing punitive in-school suspensions with discipline that focuses on student needs and helps students learn self-discipline.
Findings included improved conditions for learning, increased student attendance, decreased disruptive behavior, and reduced use of out-of-school suspensions.
Transforming the conditions contributing to exclusionary discipline requires a sustained effort. Unlike "quick fixes" like metal detectors, a culture of change requires an extended period of time to engage stakeholders, cultivate their buy-in, and develop and implement an effective plan.
Conduct external audits of conditions for learning and disparities in school discipline and safety.
Use conditions for learning data to inform improvement efforts.
Utilize three-tiered approaches to prevent and address mental health challenges, including those related to trauma.
Implement evidence-based social and emotional learning programming.
Broaden incentives for investing in student support.
Improve implementation quality of interventions and greater cultural competence of school staff.

In Levittown, grand masters in the making
Posted Wednesday, February 13, 2019 12:00 am
Students at East Broadway Elementary School in Levittown shook hands before the first of their afternoon chess games.

By Timothy Denton
The future grand masters gathered in a brightly lit classroom at East Broadway Elementary School in Levittown on Jan. 31 to receive instructions from school psychologist and chess club adviser Dr. Leigh Rust. After pairing off, the fourth- and fifth-graders reached across their chess boards, solemnly shook their opponents' hands and began the timeless series of opening moves that have characterized the game for more than a millennium.
Rust said he was glad to accept the challenge of advising the group five years ago, because "it made it easier to overcome some of the stigma of being the school's psychologist." He reasoned that if students met him in the less-charged atmosphere of after-school activities, it would be easier to connect when they came to him with a problem.
Before Rust became the group's adviser, parents were tutoring the students. Since he took over, the group has grown from 12 to around 30 — "That's the most I can handle at a time," he said — and Rust is assisted by the school's social worker, Danielle Pantileska, and two former club members who are now students at Jonas E. Salk Middle School, Joe Healy and David Silberger.
The day's play was billed as a tournament, but Rust stressed that students were playing for fun. Although he teaches the fundamentals of the game, he is not looking for budding Boris Spasskys or Bobby Fischers.
The club meets for three months each year. The first month is given over to training. "I give them a packet, and they can practice the procedures online," Rust said. Students register at Chesskid.com, a website that offers tutorials on such subjects as "Bad Bishops" and "Queen Endings."
In the second month, the focus is on tournament play. Rust simply calls the third month "March Madness." Students top off the year with a pizza party.
Chess helps strengthen what Rust termed "executive function" — the part of the brain that plans, sets goals and generally gets things done. Chess taps all such executive skills. "That's the cognitive take-away," he said.
Children with learning deficits, such as ADHD, have issues with executive function, according to a study in the International Journal of Educational Investigations. Chess requires players to plan long-term strategies leading to checkmate, but it also requires them to pay attention to details, such as their opponents' latest moves or the position of their pieces on the board. The game can help students improve their performance in subjects as varied as math and reading, the study showed.
On Jan. 31, students played two games. Class rules included shaking hands before each match, raising their hands if they thought they had checkmated their opponents, and "keeping the volume to an acceptable level." Players were also forbidden from assisting one another.
The students seemed to have mastered the complex ways various pieces can move. One player, Emma Levy, even executed an ambitious move known as a queen's-side castle. Otherwise, most players' strategies appeared to consist of capturing as many of their opponents' pieces as possible in a style of play best described as aggressive. Students who exhibited good behavior could win magic pieces — extra pawns or rooks.
Rust said the club was a great leveler. "You have kids who are at the top of their class and kids who aren't doing as well. Here, it doesn't matter. They all just come together and play."
Mackenzie Cottage, 10, said she definitely wanted to play in next year's tournaments, and her opponent for one of the afternoon's matches, Meghan Gorey, said she wanted to teach her family to play. "Nobody knows how," she said.
Some students were more serious that others, although a competitive air was discernible in each afternoon's matches. Raj Singh and Ben Rahner, both 9, had finished their game before their board could be photographed. They quickly put their pieces back on the board from memory to show how Raj had checkmated a crestfallen Ben.
They both said they wanted to continue playing after they left the club. Raj said he had learned the game at home, where his father also plays.

The Fiber Patch Panel is a wiring connection device between an optical cable and an optical communication device or between an optical communication device. The fiber optic patch panel is used for the end-to-end and distribution of the backbone cable in the optical fiber communication system, which can easily realize the connection, distribution and dispatching of the optical fiber line. With the increasing degree of network integration, there have been set ODF, DDF, power distribution unit in one of the number of light mixed patch panels for fiber to the district, fiber to the building, remote module and wireless base station in the small and medium-sized Line system.
There are three types of fiber patch panels. Unit-type fiber patch panel is installed in a rack a number of units, each unit is a separate fiber patch panel. This patch panel not only retains the original characteristics of small and medium-sized optical fiber patch panel, but also through the structure of the deformation of the rack, providing space utilization, is a large-capacity optical fiber distribution frame early common structure. But because of its inherent limitations in the provision of space, in the operation and use of a certain inconvenience.
The drawer's fiber patch panel also divides a rack into multiple units, each consisting of one or two drawers. When the welding and transfer line, pull out the corresponding drawer to operate outside the frame, which has a larger operating space, so that each unit does not affect each other. The drawer is provided with a locking device in both pull-out and push-in conditions to ensure safe and reliable operation and use of devices within the unit.
Modular structure is the fiber optic patch panel is divided into a variety of functional modules, fiber optic cable splicing, transfer lines, cable storage and other functional operations, respectively, in the module to complete, these modules can be combined according to the need to install a common rack Inside. This structure provides maximum flexibility to better meet the needs of the communications network.
The selection of fiber optic patch panel is an important and complicated work, all localities should be based on the specific circumstances of the local, taking full account of various factors, in a serious understanding, repeated comparison on the basis of a best to meet the current needs And the future development of fiber optic patch panels.


Don't know about ediscovery? It's the next big thing for small law firms. Here's how it works and why you need it.
If you're in a small or solo law firm, you know that your clients rely on you to keep pace with the changing legal market. Ediscovery (also 'edisclosure') is one of these pivotal changes. Since most of the information we deal with is digital, 'paper' discovery just won't cut it anymore. In fact, even when they use paper, most law firms end up scanning it—which makes it digital.
So, how do you deal with all this electronic information that is rapidly changing the nature of traditional discovery?
The good news is that once you have the right tools, ediscovery isn't that complicated.
When your client hands you electronically stored information (ESI) such as PDFs and Microsoft Word documents, you need to find someplace to 'put' all these files and find a way to review them so you can prepare for your case. Then you'll need to 'produce' these documents for opposing counsel.
That's all ediscovery is. And it's made even easier when you have the right tools.
Let's explore the process step by step.
You'll be dealing with electronically stored information (ESI), which is an umbrella term for electronic documents (e.g. spreadsheets and word processing documents), databases, mobile phone messages, voice recordings, and instant messages.
Most of the time you will be able to just ask your clients to give you the data. They will know where to find it, and how much of it there is to find. For more complicated projects, you can always hire an IT consultant or an ediscovery expert.
Now that you have a big pile of data, what do you do? How do you deal with the hundreds (or thousands) of PDFs, Word documents, scanned images, and emails?
One option is to open each file using the relevant application. So, you'd open the PDFs individually in Adobe Acrobat and use its built-in search feature to find the information you need. Similarly, you'd open the Word documents in MS Office, emails in your inbox, and .eml, .pst, and .mbox files using email clients like Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird.
Can you see the pattern here? You're opening each item individually. And since you have to search through hundreds (or thousands) of them, that's a lot of time and energy.
Also, since you're reviewing them one at a time, it's much harder to compare information across multiple documents and file types. So, you miss out on the larger picture.
That's where good ediscovery software comes in. It's not just convenient, it's essential. It helps you deal with data in a way that other apps can't. You just dump (i.e. upload) all your data onto the software, and it becomes 'searchable.' So you can find keywords across all your documents without opening each one manually in its specific app.
Uploading can be as easy as dragging-and-dropping your files into the software.
Superior ediscovery apps take care of everything for you and make the process intuitive.
A platform like GoldFynch, for example, has other essential features. While processing your data, it detects and alerts you of duplicate files, deals with password-protected files, and uses OCR ( i.e. converting scanned documents into machine-readable text that's searchable) and extracts the names of people, places, organizations, and dates.
Once your data is processed, you can review it. You can search for keywords (names, places, dates, etc.), tag files, redact information, mark documents as privileged, and take notes. The better your ediscovery software, the easier all this becomes.
If you've produced files before, you'll recognize the steps.
First, you'll need to make sure you can keep track of all the documents. You do this by attaching a Bates stamp (i.e. a special number) to the bottom of each page. The stamp will help you identify and refer to specific documents.
Second, you'll need to choose the format in which to produce your files. You'll be given options, but most of the time files are produced as PDFs.
Ediscovery software like GoldFynch makes all this effortless, with its easy-to-use production wizard.
The best ediscovery software doesn't just simplify your life. . .
It also offers you essential tools that other apps don't. Tools that make you so much more efficient. Plus, when software like GoldFynch is cloud-based—which means it stores your files on a trusted vendor's secure, high-performance servers—you don't need to worry about setting up and maintaining any hardware and software. And it's just $15 a month. A small price for making your job that much easier, right?


HOUSTON, Texas-- Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush, have both been hospitalized, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Jim McGrath told CNN that the 41st president has been hospitalized at Houston Methodist Hospital since Saturday, and later said in a statement the cause was "an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia. Doctors performed a procedure to protect and clear his airway that required sedation."
He said Bush is responding well to treatments and will be released from the hospital soon.
Barbara Bush also was admitted to the hospital Wednesday morning as a precaution after "experiencing fatigue and coughing," McGrath said in the statement.
Bush's chief of staff, Jean Becker, told the Houston Chronicle and news station KHOU that President Bush is "doing fine."
Bush, who served a single term as President from 1989 to 1993, was already not expected to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump in Washington on Friday due to health concerns.
Bush sent a letter to the President-elect on January 10, apologizing for missing the ceremony and saying that he and Barbara "wish you the very best as you begin this incredible journey of leading our great country."
"My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it likely will put me six feet under. Same for Barbara," Bush wrote, in a letter first reported by ABC News. "So I guess we're stuck in Texas."
Several bouts with illness have kept the 92-year-old out of the spotlight in recent years and he has rarely made public remarks.
Bush revealed several years ago that he suffered from a form of Parkinson's disease that left him unable to walk. He uses a wheelchair or a scooter to get around and had two other health scares in 2014 and 2015.
In December 2014, he was hospitalized after experiencing shortness of breath, and the following July fell at his home in Kennebunkport, Maine, breaking the C2 vertebrae in his neck.
The injury did not result in any neurological problems, his spokesman said at the time.


Same problem occurs if user has multiple monitors and resolutions are different.
2. Without that CopyGraphicToBitmap PicShow cannot handly huge images ex. 3800 x 2500. This size is problem ex. in Win98, XP can handle bigger images, but still problem is there.
So is there any way to load and display huge images so that they are fitted to screen?
Suggestion: Resize the image to screen size of the monitor with the largest screen size.
Yes that might be solution for this problem at least for now.
Cause display resolutions are still small.
Then its a problem for older OS ex. Win98. Sooner or later I have to drop supporting those older OS.
Anyway thanks and Merry Christmas.


Faces of the Foundation – Reggie B.
March 17, 2015, I came across a blog written by Lou Congelio titled "It Takes Reggie 25 minutes a day"… on a website I had stumbled across called Just Ask!Foundation. The article spoke to the very core of what our foundation is about… People!
It is about a person, Reggie Bibbs, who has an extreme condition of NeuroFibromatosis (NF). Over the years I have met a few people that have NF, so I was familiar with it, just not like Reggie's. The blog asked if anyone had any solutions or ideas that might be helpful for Reggie regarding pants. I knew then and there, that I needed to reach out to Reggie, to learn more about his condition and what he has tried in the way of pants.
A week later Reggie and I spoke by phone and I learned that Reggie is going to MD Anderson, one of the Top Rated NF Centers in the United States. He has had 10 surgeries over the years only to have the tumors come back faster and more aggressive. He is hopeful that at some point new research will come up with some treatments to stop the tumors from coming back. However, at the current age of 51, Reggie has decided to not have anymore surgery due to the pain, recovery time of almost a year and the fact that it isn't helping.
We talked about the morning ritual that he goes through to get his pant leg sewed on so he can be ready for the day. Because his left leg swells and will never be the same size as his right leg, pants are a huge challenge. I told Reggie about a good friend of mine, Greg Taylor who lives in Washington DC and is a fashion/clothing designer. I asked if it would be alright for me to contact Greg, tell him about the pants issue and ask if he would make a pair of custom pants. Reggie was excited about the idea, so my next email was to Greg, which included the story about Reggie so Greg could understand that making this pair of pants would be unique and different than anything he has ever done in his fashion career.
Greg immediately called me after reading my email and gave me a resounding YES! He would be happy to make Reggie a pair of custom pants, but he would need to measure him in person. We agreed that we would meet in Houston and that the foundation would cover the cost of his trip.
On April 6th Greg and I arrived in Texas and met up with my brother Bill, who was already in Houston for business. We drove to Reggie's home, and met him, his mom, their dog Ginger, one of his sister's and two of her daughters. We spent time talking with the family while Greg measured Reggie for his new custom pants. That evening we all went to dinner and learned more about Reggie and his five siblings. His mom is the carrier of the NF Gene and has a mild form of NF as do two of her daughters and one of Reggie's brothers. Reggie shared that his brother with NF passed away at age 46 after having surgery to remove a tumor from his leg, which then came back aggressive and cancerous.
On June 16, Greg and I will fly back to Houston for the pants fitting and to make any adjustments needed at that time. Everyone is so excited about what custom pants will mean for Reggie. Such a simple thing will save him 25 minutes each day!
To learn more about Reggie and NF please read his story below.
Reggie has a rather severe case of neurofibromatosis which has caused his disfigurement. For the first 40 years of his life Reggie stayed safe within his home and neighborhood avoiding people and their stares or comments.
Then one day, he had an idea. Instead of hiding from these people who had no idea what kind of disorder he had, he decided that he wanted to help these people learn more about his disorder. He figured that the more people knew about his disorder, the more people would understand what he is going through and want to help.
By spreading awareness, Reggie could show that he is a person and let people know that, at heart, was no different than anyone else.
Reggie can now be seen at major Houston events all over town. The International Festival. The Art Car Parade. The Houston Roller Derby. There's nowhere Reggie won't go. And everywhere he goes; he makes new friends and spreads the word about NF.
Because of the success of his "Just Ask" movement, others with NF are following Reggie's example. So, with help from a handful of friends, Reggie turned his simple idea and grassroots movement into the Just Ask! Foundation – an organization dedicated to spreading awareness about NF through the people most affected by it.

Surgical Technology Schools in Kansas
Before you can begin training as a surgical technologist, you must first complete a degree program from one of the Kansas surgical technologist schools. There are severe degree options to choose from, including a certificate program, an associate degree, and a bachelor degree. You should choose your degree based on where you want your career to go and how you envision yourself professionally in the future. It is worth noting, however, that the majority of students in Kansas go after the associate degree.
All surgical tech programs in Kansas are intended for the purpose of readying you for entry-level work. Working in the operating room is only a tiny piece of what you will need to learn. You must be familiar with anatomical structures and patient safety regulations, as well as how to prevent and reduce the risk of infection. Because there are state laws that pertain to these issues, the only place you can learn this is from one of the Kansas surgical technologist schools.
Your course schedule will vary, depending on the school and degree that you choose. However, the courses below are likely to be part of any surgical tech program in Kansas:

Every company essentially looks out for insights from customers using surveys. Feedback survey or customer satisfaction survey is a metric that helps the companies/ employees gauge the satisfaction level of their customers. It is a short questionnaire sent out to the customer as emails, phone calls (immediately following a service experience), pop-ups on mobile apps and websites, post-chat windows, focus groups and customer interviews. The customers can share their opinions by providing ratings, filling out boxes, answering MCQs, or by vocal feedbacks.
Would you recommend us to a family member or a friend?
Would you like to share or suggest anything else?
These questions should help you get all the data that you need. Don't waste much of their time. Tell them how much time it might take for them to complete your survey in your email.
Watch your timing: Survey the customers while their experience is still fresh. You may try asking them for a feedback in-person, when they are at your store. They may complete email surveys sometime later, when they would have forgotten the details and consequently might give you an inaccurate feedback.
Use multiple choice, checkbox and rating survey questions: According to research, it shows that customers prefer quantitative questions over open-ended qualitative ones. The popularity is led by multiple choice questions, followed by checkbox and rating questions. These questions limit the time and thought it takes for the customer to respond to the survey.
Create an attractive survey: The aesthetic design of your survey can significantly impact the likelihood that customers complete it. Brand your tablet surveys with a company logo like that of helpscout. Choose a survey app which has a clean, simple design and easy-to use interface. This attracts your customers to participate in your surveys and complete it.
Ask relevant questions only: You should ask questions related to your customer's immediate experience with your product or service only. Ask relevant questions only by using skip logic questions. For example, you cannot ask a customer who just got a haircut done at your salon about their pedicure experience. Irrelevant questions make the customers ignore and further not respond to the surveys.
Avoid vague questions: Be clear while you ask questions. Vague questions get vague responses. If you are not clear about what you are asking, the answers that you get will not be enough to improve your business. In fact, you will confuse your customers as well. Use simple and plain language and structure your sentences clearly. Avoid questions that make you sound like a salesperson or a data scientist.
Sequentially arrange your questions: You should know what questions to ask first. If you ask your customer demographic questions like where they live, before giving them an opportunity to share their positive customer experience, it will only result in higher survey incompletion rate. So be very careful to arrange your questions sequentially.
Limit open-ended questions: Usually customers avoid filling feedback surveys as they think it would take a lot of their time. Especially if they have to type sentence answers, it slows down customers and limits response rates. So, use open-ended questions sparingly, and always keep in mind that surveys should never take longer than five minutes for the customer to complete it.
Be vocal about feedback incentives: Lure your customers with feedback incentives in return for their valuable time completing your feedback survey. Include a free gift or contest entry as an incentive on completing the feedback survey. Consider showing the image of a free gift on the first screen, ask 2-3 questions, and then get customers to fill in their email address for a chance to collect their feedback incentive.
Act on the customer survey feedback: After having collected the feedback from your customer, thank them and make the customers feel emotionally invested. They should feel that their feedback helps you to improve your product or services. Add an introductory message telling them how exactly you plan to use their feedback.
How does Customer Satisfaction survey help?
Customer satisfaction survey is an important metric for everyone in the company.
It helps the customer service representatives see how they can improve their service. It can also help them improve their customer service skills.
Supervisors can check is proper training and resources are being made available to agents.
It helps corporate see if there is any problem with their management, product, policy, customer service, or system. They can take actionable steps to improve customer experience based on their feedback.
Asking for additional comments or suggestions can actually increase customer loyalty and brand engagement in the future.
Use the above tips to create surveys attractive enough for your survey response rate to be statistically significant and add value to your business.
