Ahhh... vacation. We've earned it. The long hours, daunting projects, and tedious tasks at work and home left behind. Pleasure awaits. No responsibility. The cocktails, dinners, local delicacies are a given. It is what we do on vacation. Part of the experience. Vacation is permission to be "naughty" after being so good the rest of the time. The implication being that the rest of the time, the non-vacation time, is about calorie counting, deprivation, work outs, going to bed earlier than you want because of an early morning meeting, diets- all shoulds. Vacation is about want-tos.
This mindset gets us into trouble.
• It derails positive habits and prevents us from getting any progress or benefits from all our efforts.
• We start to feel sluggish, gassy, and depleted during our vacation which is so not-the-point.
• We return home bloated and discouraged. Like purchases made with a credit card, we borrow from our health only to return home to a bill, or a bigger belly, demanding prompt payment.
• This approach creates a culture of exceptions, like birthdays (ours and others), holidays. What started out as the exception becomes the norm, until we have more days off our path than on. We can spend the rest of the year compensating for our deviations. No wonder we tumble into New Years with the same health goal year after year.
• We pick up a cold or a nasty case of remorse.
Often clients early in their 6 month journey with me go on vacation and choose to abandon their fragile new habits. They giggle with delight at the thought of total freedom around food and drink. They think they are getting away with something and the naughtiness feels good. Such fun...until it is not. Quickly they miss how they felt when they were eating the foods that make them feel great. Their tolerance for junk is minimal and they long for the structure of healthy food habits. They may course correct halfway through the vacation, or vow to resume their new ways once home. They are relieved to return to the peace of mind gained through self-care. Their next vacation is very different. They remember how good they feel when they do what they need to do to nourish themselves. Vacation is no longer permission to abandon themselves but an invitation to embrace their needs which only enhances the experience even more.
Letting loose does not need to mean losing yourself. Neglecting ourselves like lost luggage parading aimlessly around the carousel, we vacate ourselves on vacation. How is that working for us? Not so good.
What if we took a few moments to consider how we want to feel during and after the trip? My clients thrive when together we decide on a few non-negotiables for the trip. Like scaffolding on a building, these one or two behaviors hold you up. Select the foundational habit or habits that you know work for you. Let go of the rest and do so with full permission.
Here are some ways to stay connected to your commitment to your health AND feel like you are on vacation. We can be true to ourselves and create beautiful memories.
Unpack your old ideas about vacation. When you take you with you, you are always traveling first class.

When I was packing up all my stuff to move, I realized the ridiculous number of beauty products I hoard. I recently decided to make a conscious effort to use up some of my products. Not necessarily a Project Pan (I don't have enough self-control for that), but just using up more of what I already own.
Benefit They're Real Remover - I actually really liked this remover. It wasn't super oily but it did a great job of getting off all my face makeup. However, the bottle doesn't last that long so I don't think I will be repurchasing because it's a little expensive for not that much product.
Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover - This is another makeup remover that I actually really liked. It was definetaly a bit oily, but the results were amazing. It got all my eye makeup off, even my super water-resistant mascara and eyeliner.
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - I've spoken about this face cleanser before and it's pretty much been my go-to cleanser forever. It's light, not oily, fragrance-free, and has a very smooth consistancy. I finished an 8oz and a 2oz, and probably will repurchase after I finish a few more random cleansers I have sitting in my cabinet.
Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser - I also really enjoyed this cleanser! It smells very clean but is not overpowering. It is extremely calming and didn't feel like it striped my skin! I've been breaking out (ughhh), and this cleanser didn't irritate it, but I also don't know how big a difference it actually made.
Secret Invisibly Solid Deodorant in LaLa Lavender - This is just a classic deodorant. The scent was nice, but to be honest, I don't pay too much attention to what deodorants I'm buying; it's usually whatever's on sale.
Clean and Clean Advantage Acne Spot Treatment - I've been using this product for a while now (this was probably my 3rd or 4th repurchase) and I still like it. However, it's not perfect. It seems to work for a little bit and then stop working. I have a few other spot treatments I'm going to try to finish up first and then reassess and figure out what I want to repurchase. If you have any other suggestions for spot treatments, I'd love to hear them!
I know that this wasn't a super long post, but hopefully it will help you guys know what I'm thinking about what products I'll be repurchasing (after I finish up a few more products). If you have any other recommendations (specifically for spot treatments and cleansers, but I'll take anything), I'd love to hear them!


There are two methods to finding things within BaseElements : the built in Find functions and the integrated fmSearchResults that is tied to the QuickFind.
The built in Find mechanisms in BaseElements aren't restricted at all so you have full access to all of the find functionality like in any other unlocked FileMaker file. The find options within the menu bar are available, as well as the extra options available in the contextual menus.
The ability to do normal find requests within BaseElements becomes especially handy when linked to the extra GTRR option available in the portals. So you can, for example, go to a list of scripts, and then omit some of those records. You can then do a GTRR using found set ( hold down the shift key ) to view all the steps for those scripts. You can then constrain the found set to a single step type by right clicking on the step name field. So in a couple of steps you can produce a list of all of the import script steps for a limited set of scripts. You can then see all of the fields used in all those steps.
Also when finding within BE, the related fields can be searched on, and included in the criteria.
There is a setting available on the Preferences Popover for "Smart Find". This checkbox is on by default. The Smart Find option will use privileges to limit your access to the items for a single Analysis. Whatever the last Analysis you viewed on the Analysis layout, it will keep track of this Analysis, and it uses privileges to automatically limit your found sets to this one Analysis.
This allows you to have many different solutions or many different versions of the one solution or even both, all within the one copy of BE and to only be working and finding in a single Analysis at a time.
If you want to search across lots of solutions, or to compare the changes within different versions of a single solution you can turn this setting off in the Preferences at any time.
The final extra options for finding in BaseElements is the integration of the excellent fmSearchResults. fmSearchResults is a solution available from SeedCode that you can integrate yourself into any FileMaker solution.
In BaseElements, fmSearchResults is built into the QuickFind field in the toolbar. We've replaced the default QuickFind options with a search linked to fmSearchResults. To do a search, just type your request into the QuickFind field in the toolbar and hit enter.
You can click on any one item to view that item in it's normal Form layout. Plus you can click on any header ( the light blue row at the top of a section ) to view all of the respective items for that type.
The fmSearchResults integration is great for locating individual items, like a section of text within a specific dialog, or for finding the use of any item quickly.
Any text you put in the QuickFind box will be highlighted automatically in yellow. This makes it easy to locate text within a large calculation or script. The bonus is that you don't even have to perform a search, by just typing your highlight into the field you can then click out of the quick find in the toolbar and the highlight will display without any searching.
There is the combination of fmSearchResults, the ability to use the the powerful built in FileMaker find options, the advanced options available for GTRR inside portals, the ability to put up new windows at any time to retain a found set, and the quick back and forward, all combine to give the user lots of options for locating data within your solution.

The ebook edition of The Return by Ben Bova is on sale now for only $2.99! This offer will only last for a limited time, so order your copy today!
About The Return: In the 1980s, an alien starship visited Earth. While investigating what appeared to be a sarcophagus bearing the preserved body of its builder, astronaut Keith Stoner was trapped and cryogenically frozen. After his body was eventually returned to Earth and revived, Stoner discovered that he had acquired alien powers. Using these new powers, he built a new starship and left Earth.
Now, after more than a century of exploring the stars, Keith Stoner returns to find that the world he has come back to does not match the one he left. The planet is suffering the consequences of disastrous greenhouse flooding. Most nations have been taken over by ultraconservative religion-based governments, such as the New Morality in the United States. With population ballooning and resources running out, Earth is heading for nuclear war. Stoner, the star voyager, wants to save Earth's people. But first he must save himself from the frightened and ambitious zealots who want to destroy this stranger—and the terrifying message he brings from the stars.

The Life and Times of Jack Oblivian
September 24, 2012 by Rachel Hurley Leave a Comment
Jack Yarber is a name that music snobs throw around like some sort of rock and roll currency. He may be "Memphis' most influential active rock musician." Known to his most dedicated fans as simply Jack O. (a moniker he held while serving tenure with local legends The Oblivians), Yarber still lives up to the theory that in Memphis you can hardly be taken seriously as a musician if you play in less than three bands. Yarber has been or is a member of Johnny Vomit & the Dry Heaves (a high school punk project that also featured future Squirrel Nut Zipper Jimbo Mathus), new-wavers the End, '68 Comeback, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, The Compulsive Gamblers, The Oblivians, Knaughty Knights, South Filthy, The Cool Jerks, The Limes, Loose Diamonds and the Natural Kicks. While most if those bands exude an ultra-cool underground vibe, Yarber's introduction to rock was pretty similar to most guys in his age bracket.
"When I was a kid I liked comic books, and that got me into Kiss and through Kiss, I discovered The Beatles and The Stones," says Yarber. "I just wanted to play guitar or drums, and I even picked up the sax for a while, I'm not a master at any instrument, but I'm OK on some."
Yarber moved to Memphis in the summer of '87 to play music with his cousin. The cousin ended up returning to Corinth, MS while Yarber decided to stick around. It was a chance meeting with Greg Cartwright that led to the formation of The Compulsive Gamblers, a band that seems to receive a lot more respect in hindsight than they ever did when they were actually together.
"It was weird the way I met Greg, we put an ad in the paper, the Memphis Flyer, looking for a drummer for our band, and this guy showed up, and I told him that the band had broken up and he told me I ought to meet this guy Greg, and then about two years later we started calling ourselves the Compulsive Gamblers," explains Yarber. "We did two seven inches and recorded a bunch of songs on home recordings, we recorded in Easley, but we never really had an album. Our CD came out after The Oblivians started playing, before that no one was really interested in putting it out."
The Oblivians, still Yarber's most well-known band, was formed in 1993 and included Yarber, Cartwright, and Eric Friedl), with all three members performing on drums, guitar, and vocals, switching during shows. They were well known as a staple in the garage rock movement of the '90s.
"We never really had a set plan, but I didn't think we were garage rock like the Woggles, I thought that we were more aggressive garage rock – it was just rock and roll to us."
But even with sold out tours in the States and Europe, their DIY aesthetic kept them under the mainstream radar and off the radio dial.
"The first European tour was a highlight – we started off in Holland and went to Germany, France Spain, and Belgium, we ended up doing a couple of gigs in England. We were being treated like rock stars, with free everything, we were trying to drink it all and eat it all – by the time we got to England, our shows weren't getting listed, and we couldn't find the promoters, it was back to a reality check."
By the late nineties, the thrill was gone, and the members all went their separate ways, Cartwright started The Reigning Sound; Friedl started the Goner Records store and label, and after a couple of solo records Yarber hooked up with Scott Bomar and started The Tearjerkers. Bomar eventually became more involved in film scoring, working on both Memphis-filmed Craig Brewer productions, Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan, and starting his musical collaboration The Bo-Keys. Eventually, the band evolved into a project solely based around Yarber penned songs, currently known as The Tennessee Tearjerkers.
"Jack is one of the finest songwriters around," says Bomar. "He's one of the biggest unknown rock stars in town. I am a huge fan."
The first Tennessee Tearjerkers album, Bad Mood Rising didn't go over too well with former Oblivians fans.
'That was my mental breakdown record – cause I didn't know what I was doing and thought I might as well just document it" says Yarber. "People thought it was too classic rock and had too many slow songs."
Then came Don't Throw Your Love Away, which made a much better impression, landing in the number one spot on the Memphis Flyer's Top 15 Local Albums of the Year. It's the sort of attention that Yarber is still not used to.
"I just think people thought it was not so crazy – but it's still not exactly what I had in my head, I think The Flipside Kid was closer to what I really wanted," he says. He followed that album up with 2009′s Disco Outlaw and 2011′s Rat City.
While Yarber has definitely been paid more in lip-service than he ever has in royalties, he still isn't phased. He's played with every legit musician in Memphis and has toured to high acclaim all over Europe, and guested on about a million projects.
"I kind of look at it like there's no insurance plan, so I pretty much know at this age, if I were gonna do something else, I would have turned around and done it years ago," says Yarber. "I think about getting out of it sometimes, but then before I know it I'm playing in three bands. I tried to work five days a week, but I like these hours better."
Jack Yarber (aka Jack Oblivian) is a featured artist in the new film Meanwhile in Memphis.

She's a true professional and a great communicator. Any company would be lucky to have her on staff."
Alyssa DeHayes
Publicist at Riot Act Media
"Rachel is one dynamic lady. She is constantly implementing new ideas to advance the public image and recognition of Ardent Music, and create a web identity for them. As a publicist at Team Clermont, I've had the pleasure of working with Rachel as she sets up performance opportunities for our bands passing through her city (which are mutually beneficial for everyone involved: publicity for Ardent and for the band,) eloquently conducts interviews, and creates engaging web content. Rachel is a busy networker, and has developed strong relationships all over this industry."
Amy Lavere
"Rachel is a wonderful person. In every situation I've encountered personally or professionally with Rachel I have found her to be very centered and positive. I am also aware that a great many of the innovative studio and artist promotional projects established over the past few years at Ardent have been of Rachel's doing.
I first became aware of Rachel through her popular blog. She very honestly reviewed music and events and became the most feared music writer in Memphis. She kept the music community honest, helped raise the bar of craftsmanship and kept any phony hype at bay. She wasn't particularly well loved by some local bands back then, but over the past few years it has become clear that Rachel is passionate about good music, musicians and has dedicated her time and career to lifting it up, getting it out there and doing it well.
She has the utmost respect in the music and recording community. I am a big fan. She would be an asset to any industry she became involved in."

She is smart, easy to work with and full of ideas. She understands business and technology fundamentals and how to apply them competitively in the marketplace. She has a very pleasant manner and can seemingly get along with almost anyone. She sees 5 moves ahead because Rachel has an innate feeling for how people relate to each other and how they use technology to facilitate and enhance relationships.
Intensely curious, with a sharp mind and even sharper wit, Rachel sees the big picture but can also focus intensely on the critical details. She will be one of the people that define and drive the next stage of social media adoption and use.
I expect amazing things from her. If I had the opportunity to hire her as a community manager or as a content creator or as a strategic partner, I'd grab it in a New York minute."
Brandon Herrington
Founder of Fareveller Music Festival
"Rachel knows social media better than anyone I know. She always has. Ever since the inception of Rachel and the City, she has been at the forefront of the latest ways to socially connect people with the arts culture in Memphis. When I founded Fareveller Music Festival, I quickly valued her as a partner in establishing a credible online presence within the community. Everything she did worked great for me!"
President of Memphis Police Association
"Rachel was an integral part of my campaign for Memphis Mayor. Not only did she consult with us on how to make the most of our marketing on a nominal budget, she researched and consulted on my mayoral platform. Her contributions were a tremendous asset and we would not have been as successful without her contributions. She is an extremely bright team player who can accomplish anything she sets her mind too. She is the reason Bruce VanWyngarden, Editor-in-Chief of The Memphis Flyer remarked, "I don't know who's going to win the mayor's race but @mikeformemphis def has the best social media game."
Richard Billings
CEO of Leafless
"Rachel is a highly motivated self-starter that is able to manage multiple projects. She is well organized and worked well with our staff and customers. While working with Leafless she helped build our social media presence through several previously unexplored channels."

Anonymous publishes Baltimore Police officials emails and passwords after Freddie Gray death
By David Gilbert
May 5, 2015 13:27 BST
Hacktivists affiliated with Anonymous have published what they claim are the email addresses and passwords of Baltimore City Police officers.
As part of its online campaign - known as OpBaltimore - in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, Anonymous has published what it claims are the email addresses and passwords of seven Baltimore Police department employees and one Baltimore City official.
However, a day after the details were published, IBTimes UK tested each of the credentials posted on text-sharing website Pastebin, and not one worked on the official login page of the Baltimore Police department.
It is unclear if this is as a result of the details being incorrect or because the passwords have been changed.
Of the seven police department employees listed, six appear to be current members of the force, in positions ranging from Deputy Crime Laboratory Quality Officer to several commanders of divisions within Baltimore.
The one person who is listed but no longer working for the Baltimore Police Department is Joseph Johnson, who did previously work with the police in Baltimore, but is now working in the pharmaceutical industry.
All of the officers's details are relatively easy to find online, which could suggest that the "leaked" information was simply collected from different online portals such as LinkedIn and Facebook, while the Baltimore Police Department's policy of using email addresses which follow the [firstname].[surname]@baltimorepolice.org template would also make it quite easy to put together a list of email addresses.
IBTimes UK has contacted the two Anonymous groups claiming responsibility for the breach (AnonymousGlobo and HagashTeam) as well as the Baltimore Police Department but so far we have had no response from any one.
The Anonymous groups previously posted a list of email addresses on Pastebin which they also claimed were from the Baltimore Police department. The hacktivist group last week (28 April) claimed it had knocked the website of the Baltimore City government offline in a denial of service attack, though the site was only inaccessible for a short period of time.

The Philippines' Cannes grand-prix winning idea 'Smart TXTBKS' to be used in India and Africa
July 9, 2013 8:31
by Robin Hicks
"Making text books light and easy"
The idea behind the Philippines' first ever grand prix winner at Cannes is to be replicated in other emerging markets.
Manila-based ad agency DDB DM9 JaymeSyfu is looking at helping partners import its 'Smart TXTBKS' campaign in India and Africa.
The campaign, funded by the country's largest mobile phone provider SMART, took content from text books and condensed it onto SIM cards. That content was then run on old mobile phone handsets.
The project helped relieve small children of the burden of carrying heavy books to school, a problem which has been causing physical deformities such as curved spines and hunching.
DDB DM9 JaymeSyfu's ECD Eugene Demata told Mumbrella that the agency had been in discussions with companies in India and Africa through a member of the jury of the Cannes mobile phone category.
"We really think the idea can travel," Demata said. "The good thing is the technology is so simple and is easily replicated."
However, an obstable in India is that there are so many different languages, he added. "This is the problem we will have to tackle when we get further down the road in discussions with our partners in India."

Border trade agreement promotes Vietnamese goods in Laos
09:37 | 30/10/2015 Trade Follow Ven.vn on
(VEN) – The Vietnamese government recently approved the Vietnam-Laos Border Trade Agreement, promoting the implementation of commitments to facilitate trade and investment between the two countries.
The Vietnam-Laos Border Trade Agreement was signed on June 27 in Nghe An Province's Cua Lo Township, marking a new milestone in bilateral relations and economic relations in particular. Lao Deputy Prime Minister Somsavad Lengsavath, Chairman of the Laos-Vietnam Cooperation Subcommittee, said this was a historical event because the two countries signed no border trade agreement over the last four decades.
Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc believed the agreement would create a legal corridor for cross-border trade between the two countries and contribute to eradicating hunger, reducing poverty, and promoting socioeconomic development in border provinces, looking towards the US$2 billion bilateral trade target set for this year.
The Vietnam-Laos Border Trade Agreement consists of 23 articles, forming the legal basis for increasing bilateral cooperation in the field of trade, investment, and services catering for border trade, contributing to boosting the friendship between the two countries. The agreement regulates the sale, purchase, and exchange of goods between traders and residents in border areas, the development of border markets, and the facilitation of trade via border crossings. It also indicates land border crossings that are open to border trade between the two countries.
Notably, the agreement offers a zero percent tax rate to goods of Vietnamese and Lao origin; encourages investment in border, mountainous, and remote areas; offers an exemption from import and value added taxes as well as technical barriers to some products created by Vietnamese businesses operating in border areas of Laos when they are exported back to Vietnam.
The agreement also consists of detailed stipulations on payments in border trade, and the cross-border transportation of cash, as well as the exit and entry of people and transport means, and the examination of goods in border trade between Vietnam and Laos. Through the agreement, the two countries are committed to increasing border trade, investment and tourism promotion activities, and developing services catering to border trade to facilitate trade via border crossings. The two sides will set up a steering committee for Vietnam-Laos border trade, encourage the establishment of an association of cross-border traders, and organize biennial conferences to promote bilateral cooperation in border trade development.
In the context of fierce competition with exports from Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, the agreement will create new advantages for Vietnamese goods in Laos.
Data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade show that trade between Vietnam and Laos increased from US$866.1 million in 2012 to over US$1.12 billion in 2013 and US$1.5 billion in 2014. In the first nine months of this year, Vietnam exported US$437 million worth of goods to Laos and imported US$474 million worth of Lao products.
Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan paid an official visit to Laos from October 15-18 to discuss measures to further strengthen the traditional friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, as well as to increase bilateral cooperation through sub-regional, regional, and international cooperation mechanisms.

Rensselaer County sheriff's deputy Brian Nikles, is pictured outside Averill Park High School, where he serves as a school resource officer on Friday, May, 22, 2020, in Averill Park, N.Y. Nikels has been a major part of the school's food distribution program since its first day of closure, serving food to all Averill Park students in need. "It brings back some normalcy for the students," he said. "I'm a familiar face. That's why they asked me to be a part of this distribution." His job as a sheriff has enabled him to aid families who can't get to the school. "I'll bring a meal down to a family. They need help delivering to a couple places, so I have no problem, while I'm out doing my job, helping out with that." The road trips have included home visits, accompanied by a principal or other school official, to check in on students who have had trouble connecting to their school work or engaging in at-home instruction.

Students and club members of the San Damiano Refugee Partnership, a partnership between students at Siena College and refugees who attend or recently graduated from Bishop Maginn High School in Albany, now hold their weekly meetings on Zoom because of the COVID-19 pandemic. "We're probably not going back to school. I initially wanted to give up. Dr. (John) Harden got on me," said Paul Macfarlane, a recent Siena graduate who is president of the SDRP group. Harden is a teacher and director of technology at Maginn, and he founded the project a decade ago.The SDRP works regularly with the students — between the ages of 14 and 22, and mostly from southeast Asia — to help with reading, writing and social skills. The group still meets via Zoom on Thursday nights, but they're now focused more on engagement and enjoyment rather than studying. Read the story If you know a hero, let us know here.

Community manager Kelly Hotaling, left, and administrative assistant Tarah Lobdell, right, with Summit at Eastwyck resident. In many ways, the circumstances created by COVID-19 are antithetical to the very purpose of Summit at Eastwyck, which opened in 2011. The community preaches a "connected life program." "Now it's really trying to find creative ways to bring them some joy in very small ways," Hotaling said. That includes: strolling saxophonists playing old favorites; a parade with family members driving 75 cars with signs and balloons; bringing a breakfast bag to each resident's apartment to replace the continental breakfast they used to get in the now-closed clubhouse; bringing around a rolling happy hour cart every Friday. Hotaling, who also praised her five-person maintenance staff, resisted the idea of being called a hero. In fact, she said she was more impressed by how the Summit at Eastwyck residents are handling the situation. Read the story If you know a hero, let us know here.

Craig Allen owner of All Star Wine & Liquor in Latham Farms is a cancer survivor who was treated at New York Oncology Hematology, where he also received his chemotherapy and radiation for throat cancer. While many medical practices have had to eliminate or limit office visits, NYOH and its staff have been working more than ever making sure its patients receive their cancer care like chemotherapy and radiation, all while their office at Patroon Creek is undergoing a complete renovation. Recognizing that, Allen decided he wanted to bring lunch to the entire NYOH team. And he wanted to do it in a way that would help the local restaurant industry, which he knew was hurting. He saw that Bellini's Counter was offering a lunch special, so Allen got what he described as "a ton of food," and he and staff at Bellini's delivered it to NYOH nurses and staff one day for lunch. Allen is also hoping to donate a custom bell at NYOH that patients ring when finish their final treatment to show his appreciation for all NYOH did for him.

There are nights, Gary Riggi admits, that he can't find sleep. He'll toss and turn inside his Altamont home before finally throwing off the covers and going back to work. His job? Helping people.
"I have gone out at 12 at night, 1 in the morning, if someone has a need," Riggi said. "I literally can't sleep if I know someone has a need."
The 58-year-old Riggi is the director of engagement at Schenectady's City Mission. He is also there for people living in poverty in Schoharie, Montgomery and Schenectady counties through his work with the Joshua Project, a separate faith-based nonprofit that focuses on rural areas. And he is an ordained deacon at Our Lady of the Valley, a Catholic church in Middleburgh.
Some days, especially lately, it can seem there are not enough hours in the day. If anyone is counting, Riggi puts in roughly 93 hours a week helping those who need the most help.
Riggi said he would not even want to guess how many new people have needed the City Mission's help since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the United States. With people out of work, it's been very difficult for many to pay their bills and feed their children.
Riggi and the City Mission do whatever they can to ease those fears. They do so not only by providing food and home supplies but also encouragement and counseling.
He said the City Mission, which is under the direction of Mike Saccocio, serves three meals a day to whoever needs them.
"No one gets turned away from a meal," said Riggi, who has been with the Mission four years.
Riggi said there is an abundance of food at the City Mission. It is cooked on the premises by volunteers as well as residents who live there.
Much of the food is donated.
When people come into the Mission lately, social distancing is practiced. With the pandemic, there is obvious concern for those who do not have a place to go.
"Extremely concerned," Riggi said. "We are trying to do the best we can to keep them all safe."
People who don't have a vehicle run a risk of exposure to the virus by using mass transit to get to a grocery store. Aiming to lower that risk, the Mission is offering food deliveries to homes.
"We are trying to bring hope to people who are in despair," Riggi said. "We also want to build relationships with people. There is no greater thing than when you can build trust in light of all the darkness out there."

Riggi said he is grateful none of the people he deals with have tested positive for coronavirus.
Riggi said a need came up for housing for homeless people three weeks ago. He called on the Rev. Dominic Isopo, the pastor at St. Joseph's Church in Schenectady, and asked for help. Isopo suggested the use of the rectory at the church. A dozen people live there now under the 24-7 supervision of staff put in place by Riggi.
Riggi became involved with the Joshua Project in 2011 after the flooding in Schoharie County. The nonprofit group of faith-based volunteers had a mission to help as many people as possible.
"People need to eat every day," Riggi said. "Out in Montgomery and Schoharie Counties, it's like the Appalachian Mountains of New York state. It's the poorest of the poor. We have been taking care of a lot of families for a long time."
Besides delivering food, there is help given for heating homes, putting gas in the car, the rent. Many times, Riggi said, money comes out of his own pocket and he said he is not a rich man. Even though the flood crisis ended, the Joshua Project continues to help those in poverty in those counties.
He and his wife of 34 years, Sharon, have three grown sons, Matthew, Joshua and Paul.
He has seen people with children who are 5 and 6 years old. There have been those in need in their 80s. Everyone is welcome, everyone is helped.
If people want to donate to help, that is fine, but Riggi does not look for it.
"There are so many people doing so many good things," Riggi said. "I enjoy seeing so many everyday heroes. There are thousands of them!"

What's in Windows 8.1 Update 1, and When Will It Be Ready?
February 6, 2014 by Jacqueline Emigh Reads (8,347)
The Windows 8.1 Update 1 might be released in April instead of March, according to a report published on Tuesday, a couple of days after the leak of a beta build showing changes in the update that would benefit users accustomed to the traditional, non-"Modern" PC environment. Meanwhile, it's also conceivable that the performance of Microsoft's built-in Defender anti-malware software will improve by then.
According to a report by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft now expects to release Update 1 on April 8 rather than the originally planned March 11, possibly because the earlier timetable was too ambitious.
Like March 11, April 8 is a "Patch Tuesday." The release of Update 1 on April 8 would also make sense in that this date comes right after Microsoft's Build developers conference in early April, where Microsoft is expected to talk up the update.
For her part, Foley also dismissed speculation that Update 1 will alter the start-up experience so that the desktop screen — as opposed to the Modern Start screen — would become the default fault-up screen.
However, those who downloaded the leaked build did see evidence of other previously rumored features. These include a new icon in the upper-left corner of Modern apps for splitting, minimizing, or closing the app; Power Down and Search tiles at the top right of the Modern screen; right-click contextual menus for tiles; and the ability to put icons for Windows Store apps on the desktop's taskbar.
Better Anti-Malware Security, Too?
Meanwhile, also this week, a Microsoft spokesperson revealed that, in an update in December, Microsoft added better analysis capabilities to the cloud-enabled Provable PC Health (PPHC), one of two components of new anti-malware technology introduced in Windows 8.1. PPHC is designed to work with a new behavior monitoring capability in Windows' built-in Defender anti-virus software.
Microsoft is also "continuing to enhance the analysis notification services" in PPHC, the spokesperson said, in an email to TabletPCReview, a sister publication to NotebookReview. She gave no indication, though, as to when and how these services will be enhanced, or whether they might appear in Update 1.
Meanwhile, in tests conducted in November and December, Microsoft's built-in Defender software continued to finish dead last against 24 third-party vendors in "real world protection" — or protection against new and unknown malware — and to finish somewhat below average in detecting the sorts of known malware that are already included in virus databases.
The new behavior monitoring capability is aimed at "detecting polymorphic and repackaged malware families based on familiar patterns of malicious behavior on the device," the spokesperson said.
"Our end user goal of PPCH, as with Windows Defender, is to protect our customers with little or no user interaction and to leverage existing user workflows," she added. "Therefore PPCH doesn't include new user experiences and notification mechanisms. We leverage the existing infrastructure and enable them to surface new notifications and actions. For example, if an active keylogger were found and removed from the user's PC, the notification would be presented to the user in the Action Center. In addition, the cloud could initiate an account remediation action like a password reset since the MSA would be at risk. If a more serious malware infection was detected by our cloud Service, we will send immediate signatures to the client which could also trigger a user notification for advanced remediation action. The protection enhancements are designed to be seamless with the current user's experiences."
Andreas Marx, CEO of AV-Test, conjectured that improvements to Microsoft's anti-malware capabilities might show up with Update 1.
"We used the latest RC version, the RTM version and a fully-updated Windows 8.1 license for this test. In all three versions we reviewed, we can 'see' the traffic
which is generated by the anti-malware program in Windows 8.1 and whichis most likely related to the (potential malware) activities which are happening on the system. This means the cloud-based activity feature is definitely enabled and working," he said in an email.
"We expect that Microsoft is now better able to track what's going on, malware-wise, on an (infected) PC. However, when signatures are created/generated by the Microsoft anti-malware team, all users will benefit from them, as they are available and will be deployed to users of Security Essentials (on Windows XP, Vista and 7) as well as Windows Defender (on Windows 8 and 8.1)," he noted.
"What only Microsoft might be able to tell you is if they plan to further improve this feature in the Windows 8.1 Update which is scheduled for March/April 2014. We do not have access to a beta version yet (which was just leaked), so we cannot tell you more on 'Provable PC Health' yet."
More Cloud Integration on the Way?
In any case, better integration between PPHC and Windows could be on the way with the appointment of Satya Nadella — who previously headed Microsoft's cloud computing efforts — as CEO.
Nadella's division was in charge of the technology powering cloud-enabled Windows services like Office 365, Xbox Live, Bing, and OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive).

Q: VBA maintaining the program in memory Sorry I don't know if this is something simple, or even where the problem fits in the greater scheme of programming.
So in my unsophisticated ways, my programs have always been of the scheme: 1. start program, 2. wait while program runs, 3. program is done and gone.
What I am doing now is creating a table from a long list of transactions (10,000s of). The table has several combo boxes for the user to select filters. Right now, every time the user changes a filter, the entire log is re-processed, which takes half a minute or a minute.
What I would rather do is have the trade log held in memory, or somehow latently but more immediately available. But not have the program "spinning" in the background. So the user could go about using Excel unaware that the program is ready in the background in case they want to update the table later, or not.
Does that make sense? If it can't be done in VBA, I'd still be curious how it would be done in another environment, say C#, if it could be. Thanks.

A: There are several options

*

*Firstly, is the code correctly structured? For example, do you really need to re-process everything or can a re-write be more efficient?

*If you cannot avoid resource intensive code, notify the user with a progress bar or message. Also consider the use of DoEvents which frees up the operating system so that Excel can process other events.

*DoEvents is slow and dirty. Even better look at this link DoEvents is slow!!! Here are faster methods

*Rewrite your code to work asynchronously. Create a class, a handler and deal with each transaction asynchronously.

*You could write some VBScript/Javascript and push the task out to run independently of Excel/VBA. Eg there's an example Here

*Don't use VBA :)

Edit: How are you filtering? If you're iterating through thousands of items in an array testing for criteria it can be very slow. Excel's Advanced Filter is very quick and could process hundreds of thousands of rows with multiple criteria quickly.

A: If the frequency of updates to the options trade is low enough you could separate reading and processing the option trades from the filtering process:
Step 1 - Refresh - read the logs and process them, storing the results in global containers (arrays, collections, dictionaries, objects ...)
Step 2 - User requests - show  form - user chooses filters - show/store results extracted from the global containers.

A: When a macro in Excel VBA runs, the user cannot use Excel anymore, running the VBA "stucks" the whole program.
Here are a few tips to find a workaround for your problem :

*

*Keep the vba running : load the data a first time when launching the combobox and then display results to the user every time he asks for but keep a combobox loaded so that vba keeps its context and memory

*Load the data in Excel Worksheet, even hidden and then use it when the user asks for some data

*Give us more info on what you are doing, from where you are loading the data, how you can cache it, what is your current code, what you tried... so that we can help you more

Max
