Q: Is there a way to print something in console that doesn't scroll down? (In C) Well, maybe if I offer a little context this will be more understandable.
I want to print "Inventory" in the first line of my main, but I don't want "Inventory" to move from its place, so, while the rest of my commands show in console, and will scroll down, this particular line "Inventory will stay in its place."
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hVItr.png
I'm not sure if this can be done in C

A: This is quite hard in plain C due to how the console works.
There is, however a library that has done everything for you: NCurses: http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/

What am I to you Neveah?
Neveah sighed, feelings falling over her that she'd never felt before. She looked at him. The man that had taken her heart and her freedom and she smiled.
For Emory life was good. He'd been able to leave the drug game behind and make a name for himself. One that would make his parents proud. One phone call changed his life and in an instant he was back to his old ways. Only it was a different game.
Neveah lived a good life. She had all of the things that a woman could want but something was missing. After being betrayed by someone near and dear to her heart she finds herself even more lost. When she's taken away from everything she's ever known she finds herself genuinely happy for the first time in her life. But that happiness doesn't come easy and Neveah questions if its even real because she's falling for the same person that abducted her.

"History Through a Native Lens": A chronological timeline of Native American resistance movements, traumatic events and colonial policies.
Time magazine article "The Forgotten History of the Native Americans Who Helped the Underground Railroad"
A learning series of historical documents by Dr. Cindy Blackstock organized according to Gregory Stanton's 10 Stages of Genocide. The learning series is intended to inspire people to continue learning about Canada's historic and contemporary relationship with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples as they consider the question, "Is it genocide?" - #IsItGenocide?
The Reconciling History initiative invites people to learn from the past in the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its Calls to Action. By learning about the complete and true story of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, we can all have a better understanding of how we can contribute to reconciliation in meaningful ways.
Canada has a long history of knowing about the inequalities faced by Indigenous children and their families and choosing not to act. There are stories, both written and told, of Indigenous children, families and communities who took steps to resist and attempt to change the residential school system. There are over 100 years of reports, articles, books, inquiries and commissions written by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples outlining the inequalities and providing solutions.
Reconciling History provides an opportunity to learn about Canada's treatment of Indigenous children and families in a way that links lessons of history to contemporary injustices. It is an opportunity demonstrate why reconciliation should move beyond describing the past to learning from it.

With more than a thousand bands in the city for CMJ, there's a strong chance you'll happen to run into a musician on the streets, hanging out after a show, or taking advantage of an open bar at a blog party. Here we'll check in with artists we spot during the festival to see how they're handling the chaos of it all.
Going to bed. I haven't slept in forty-eight hours. I came here straight from Dusseldorf, Germany. I've been on tour since basically the beginning of August. And after New York we're going to DC to go on tour with M83.
I've got three shows tomorrow and press and some other stuff to do. It just never stops. We'll see the bands we're playing with, of course, but otherwise it's nonstop shows.
What's in your survival kit when doing so many shows in a row?
Um. Sleep? Which I haven't had. [Laughs.] I try to eat as healthy as possible, which is difficult on the road… especially in the U.S. I like to have a cigarette after my show. That's really my limit to be honest. Just one and a little bit of whiskey to decompress. I'm pretty easy-going.
My last meal was on the flight here. It was some sort of weird German pasta dish with strudel on the side. And some tea.

Maharashtra: MNS chief Raj Thackeray attacks, mocks Rahul Gandhi over Vinayak Damodkar Savarkar
Times of India | 2 months ago | 28-11-2022 | 05:34 am
MUMBAI: MNS chief Raj Thackeray targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodkar Savarkar at a rally on Sunday, saying, "Do you even have the stature to speak about Savarkar?" You don't even realise that Savarkar's mercy petition was a strategy he was using to get out of jail to launch an attack on the British." He also mocked Gandhi's voice and said he sounded like music composer RD Burman. Speaking at a rally at the NESCO grounds in Goregaon against the backdrop of the BMC polls which could be held in a few months, Thackeray sought to re-ignite the MNS campaign against loudspeakers used outside mosques in the city. "If the loudspeakers are too loud, first the partymen should complain to the police. If they do nothing, then the Hanuman Chalisa should be played loudly outside the police station." Targeting his cousin and former CM Uddhav Thackeray, he said, "Initially he used his health as an excuse. Then after Eknath Shinde's rebellion, he started traveling all over. He wants power for selfish reasons and to make money." Thackeray also criticised Maharashtra Governor B S Koshyari who is in the news for his controversial remarks against Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji. "Look at his age and what he says. He is the Governor, so I am not saying anything but there is no lack of abuses in Maharashtra," he said. He referred to Koshyari's recent comment in which he had said that if Gujaratis and Rajasthanis are removed from Mumbai, it would cease to be the country's financial capital. "Why don't you ask Gujaratis and Marwaris why they don't do successful businesses in their own state?" he asked.

MUMBAI: The state's public health sector appears to be facing a peculiar issue of surplus. Nearly a year since the BMC dismantled its nine jumbo Covid hospitals and made its vast inventory of pandemic equipment available to state-run medical colleges and district hospitals, only half of the items have been taken. Many public facilities have either cited their own surplus inventory or logistical challenges as reasons for not taking the items from Mumbai. At the last count, the civic body was sitting on a stockpile of 418 types of supplies totalling over 73,000 items. The leftover items (see graphic) have been collected at two central depots within SevenHills Hospital and KJ Somaiya Grounds in Sion. Surprisingly, even lifesaving medical equipment such as ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and multipara monitors are languishing for months at the storage facilities, raising concerns about their continued usability. There are almost 200 ventilators, including more than 110 received under PM Cares fund, more than 800 portable oxygen cylinders, over 600 oxygen concentrators, waiting to find takers.The BMC began dismantling its jumbo Covid hospitals in February 2022. In the first phase, four jumbo centres at Kanjurmarg, Dahisar, Richardson and Cruddas in Mulund, and Nesco in Goregaon were closed. In July, the five remaining jumbos at BKC, Malad, Richardson and Cruddas in Byculla, and NSCI in Worli were shut. Soon after, the corporation appointed Dr Rajesh Dere, former dean of BKC jumbo, as chief coordinator to oversee distribution. The first opportunity to take items from the surplus inventory was given to civic-run hospitals such as KEM, Sion, Nair, Cooper, Kasturba and Nair Dental. However, since then, the distribution slowed.Dr Sanjeev Kumar, additional municipal commissioner, said they have written to the state government and received responses from a few centres which have been given equipment in the last three months. But there's a lot more than awaits distribution, he said. Since November, the BMC has given almost 5,000 items to district hospitals. Another official said they expected a lot of demand from district hospitals, but that didn't happen.Sanjay Khandare, principal secretary (health) told TOI the public health department carried out their own internal evaluation and found that they had enough surplus. "For some, it didn't make logistical sense to carry mattresses and similar items all the way from Mumbai," he said. MMRDA, which built the BKC jumbo hospital, had also written to the state government urging them to utilize all the equipment they bought. A senior civic official said that the state should have formed a joint team to assess which districts required what equipment. The official added that these items have significant value, estimated in the multiple crores.

Buccaneers Devin White named NFC Defensive Player of the Week
The young linebacker was instrumental in the team's comeback win over Atlanta.
By Gil Arcia@GilArciaBUCS Dec 23, 2020, 10:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: Buccaneers Devin White named NFC Defensive Player of the Week
The National Football League today announced that Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebacker Devin White was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 15. White earned the distinction for the second time this season, also winning NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in Week 7.
Against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15, White matched his career high with 3.0 sacks, adding 12 tackles (four for loss), three quarterback hits and two passes defensed. White is the only NFL player with multiple games with 3.0-or-more sacks and 10-or-more tackles since at least 2000. He is also the only player in team history to record double-digit tackles and 3.0-or-more sacks in a game.
With his 130 tackles and 8.0 sacks, White remains the only NFL player with 100-or-more tackles and 5.0-or-more sacks this season. Dating back to 2000, White is one of just nine players to post at least 100 tackles and 8.0 sacks in a single season. He ranks third in the NFL in tackles (130) and tied for eighth in the NFC in sacks (8.0).
Over 27 career games, White has racked up 221 tackles, (17 for loss), 18 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, five fumble recoveries, four forced fumbles, one interception and two defensive touchdowns. Dating back to at least 1987, White is one of only four players to total at least 200 tackles and 10.0 sacks in their first two seasons joining Duane Bickett, Darius Leonard and Brian Urlacher.
White's two NFC Defensive Player of the Week awards in 2020 come after winning back-to-back Defensive Rookie of the Month honors in November and December of 2019 on his way to 2019 PFWA NFL All-Rookie Team recognition.
White led the NFL with four tackles for loss in Week 15, led all NFC players with 3.0 sacks and ranked tied for third in the conference with 12 tackles. He has recorded seven games with 10-or-more tackles in 2020, which are tied for the second-most such games in the NFL this season.
White is part of a defense that ranks first in the NFL in rushing yards allowed (77.8 per game), and sixth in total defense (333.1 per game). Tampa Bay also leads the league in defensive rushing average (3.4 opponent yards per carry), ranks second in pressures (161), tied for second in tackles for loss (82), fourth in quarterback hits (99) ranks tied for fourth in sacks (43.0), tied for fifth in takeaways (21).

Miniature cypress trees are popular bonsai plantings. You don't need to be a bonsai master with tiny tools, though, to be successful with a potted miniature cypress. Like its much larger brethren, miniature cypress trees are easy to grow. Give them sufficient sunlight, warmth and water and the little tree thrives indoors.
Place the potted cypress tree in an area of the home where it can receive sunshine in the morning and shade in the afternoon.
Water your miniature cypress tree when it is dry within 1 inch of the surface of the soil. To check the moisture content of the soil, stick your finger into it to a depth of 1 inch. If it comes out dry, it is time to water.
Fertilize the mini cypress weekly in the spring with a 10-10-10 formula, applied to moist soil. Fertilize every two weeks during the summer and don't fertilize at all during fall and winter. Use the rate suggested on the label and water again after applying fertilizer.
Prune the indoor cypress tree only if necessary to remove diseased or dead branches. Cut these back to their points of origin.

The interwar peace movement was arguably the largest mass movement of the 1920s and 1930s, a mobilization often overlooked in the wake of the broad popular consensus that ultimately supported the U.S. involvement in World War II. The destruction wrought in World War I (known in the 1920s and 1930s as the "Great War") and the cynical nationalist politics of the Versailles Treaty had left Americans disillusioned with the Wilsonian crusade to save the world for democracy.

The organization spread rapidly throughout the agricultural Midwest, attracting more than 850,000 members by 1875. The Grange's purpose also expanded--it experimented (unsuccessfully) with cooperatives, and, angered by hard times, tight money, and high railroad shipping rates, moved into politics.

This was coupled with the belief that schools should establish organic relationships with their communities, that curricula should confront broad social issues, and t

Between 1820 and 1860, 1,500,000 immigrants arrived in America from Germany. Many of the new arrivals who settled in cities such as New York worked as shopkeepers and skilled tradesmen, although many more worked as employees in construction, brewing, and manufacturing. Although German immigrants did not mix politics and liquor, reformers were disconcerted by the atmosphere of their social establishments. Unlike the bars in Irish neighborhoods, the beer gardens catered to whole families. As this

So here are some key points following Golden State's game four blowout, and some things to consider moving forward.

In games one, two, and three, Golden State struggled to get going early on, scoring only 19 first quarter points in game one, and just 20 in games two and three. Last night the Warriors scored 31 points in the first and avoided playing another round of catch-up. Coming out guns blazing is a must for Steph Curry and the Warriors.
Cleveland's Shooting and LeBron's Supporting Cast
Doubling teaming LeBron puts a world of pressure on the shooting of his fellow Cavaliers. Game four was a prime example of what can happen if the shots don't fall. Last night Cleveland shot 6-45 from outside of the paint with JR Smith and Iman Shumpert shooting a combined 1-13 from beyond the arc and totaling nine points. Believe it or not, that won't be good enough to get the job done.
If it wasn't for Iguodala, LeBron James would probably be averaging 60 points a game. His defense has been stellar to say the least and his veteran presence on a young Warriors squad is of extreme value. Looking for a change, Steve Kerr decided to start the 33-year-old guard in place of Andrew Bogut in game four. Risky as it was, Golden State reaped the rewards. Iguodala had a season high 22 points and held LeBron to 1-7 from the field when guarding him in leading the Warriors to a 103-82 win. The world's most important Iggy is finally being recognized.
Posting a career high 28 points in game four, Timofey Mozgov is going to have to continue to step up as Golden State does their best to lock down LeBron. As smaller lineups for the Warriors become prevalent, Mozgov can thrive. The Cavs desperately need this extra boost. Also he's an unreal promoter:
Dellavedova Mania
The city of Cleveland is rapidly falling in love with Matthew Dellavedova. The hard-nosed Australian guard has given the Cavs a much-needed spark in the absence of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Continuing to play his role is a must if Cleveland wants to win two more games. Regardless, he's doing a wonderful job of playing the role of the city's lovable white boy that Johnny Manziel couldn't uphold. I mean c'mon just look at him!
Say your prays that this series goes to seven games. I'm not sure we'll have one as exciting as this for a long time. For once, the Spurs aren't involved, there's no Miami Heat, and there is a team from California that isn't the Lakers. And please, as annoying as his antics can be, do not take for granted the ability to watch LeBron James play basketball. What he's currently doing is unheard of. Nobody is suppose to average 40 points per game in the NBA Finals, but LeBron is casually making it look like child's play. Enjoy it.

Judge temporarily allows Missouri's last abortion center to stay open
The case is slated to be taken up again on June 4.

PETITION: 'Dump Netflix' over their attack on unborn babies. Sign the petition here.
ST. LOUIS, Missouri, May 31, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A judge gave a scandal-plagued abortion facility in St. Louis a temporary reprieve Friday, less than 12 hours before it would have had to surrender its abortion license to Missouri health officials. Had Planned Parenthood had to do that, Missouri would have been without an open abortion center.
Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region has been fighting the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services over its annual license renewal, arguing the state is trying to "intimidate" abortionists by making renewal contingent on interviewing them about patient complaints.
The abortion giant filed a lawsuit in St. Louis Circuit Court seeking a restraining order to preserve its license, without which it would have had to stop committing abortions once its current license expired at midnight. During hour-long oral arguments Thursday, health officials expressed concerns about "at least one incident in which patient safety was gravely compromised" and "failed surgical abortions in which women remained pregnant," as well as an alleged violation of informed-consent requirements.
The facility's two staff physicians already submitted to interviews, but health officials still want to interview five contract physicians regarding seven of the incidents flagged by inspectors. Planned Parenthood attorney Jamie Boyer claims the abortionists refuse to speak with them on the grounds that their answers "could lead to criminal charges due to Missouri's restrictive abortion laws," in the AP's words.
On Friday, Circuit Judge Michael Stelzer granted the facility a temporary restraining order allowing it to keep committing abortions, NBC News reports.
A temporary restraining order "does not purpose to pass upon the merits of a controversy or dispose of any issue," Stelzer stressed. But Planned Parenthood "has demonstrated that immediate and irreparable injury will result if petitioner's license is allowed to expire."
During a Wednesday press conference, Republican Gov. Mike Parson had said it "would be reckless for any judge to grant a temporary restraining order ruling before the state has taken action on a license renewal."
"It was a patient complaint that actually prompted the investigation into the clinic, and they found multiple violations," Susan B. Anthony List vice president for communications Mallory Quigley told PBS Thursday in support of pulling the license. "A woman who went in for an abortion actually remained pregnant. There's talk of botched abortions, failure to do proper informed consent."
"Actually, an ambulance has been called to this particular facility in St. Louis more than 70 times since 2009," she continued, adding that "we know what happens when public health officials don't inspect abortion facilities. It happened in Pennsylvania for 17 years," invoking the case of the notorious Kermit Gosnell.
"The predatory abortion industry had the gall to argue in court that laws protecting women should not apply to them and that 'access' to abortion was somehow more important than what happens to women who are exposed to that 'access,'" reacted Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America.
CNN reports that the case is slated to be taken up again on June 4. If the St. Louis facility is ultimately forced to stop committing abortions, the AP reports that next closest abortion facilities will be in Granite City, Illinois (ten miles from St. Louis) or Kansas City (260 miles from St. Louis).

D.D. Palmer
(1845–1913). Canadian-born American merchant and health pioneer D.D. Palmer was the founder of chiropractic. He was known for starting the first chiropractic school, the Palmer School of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa.
Daniel David Palmer was born on March 7, 1845, near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1865 he moved to the United States and taught school in Illinois. In 1871 Palmer began a merchant career, managing a fruit nursery in Illinois for 10 years and then a grocery store in Iowa for about three years. He subsequently learned magnetic healing (the placement of magnets on the body to get rid of pain) and in 1887 moved to Davenport, where he practiced that alternative therapy.
Palmer made his first attempt to cure people by means of spinal adjustments while living in Davenport in 1895. He devised the theory that diseases are the result of misaligned skeletal structures and came up with the word chiropractic from the Greek words for hand (chero) and done (praktik). At the time, chiropractic medicine was not widely accepted. In 1898 Palmer started the Palmer School of Chiropractic (now the Palmer College of Chiropractic) in Davenport. After his son, Bartlett Joshua ("B.J.") Palmer (1882–1961) graduated from the school in 1902, D.D. Palmer moved to Portland, Oregon, and opened another chiropractic school. While he was gone, B.J. ran the Davenport school.
Palmer returned to Iowa in 1906. By this time his metaphysical and spiritual views on chiropractic were becoming disruptive to the practice. Palmer had never obtained a medical degree and was brought up on charges several times for practicing medicine without a license. At his 1906 trial he was convicted and spent time in jail; upon his release (after his wife paid his fine), B.J. refused to let him back into the school, and the two became estranged. Palmer subsequently left Iowa for Oklahoma, where he returned to the grocery business. Palmer died on October 20, 1913, in Los Angeles, California. B.J. and his son David Palmer (1906–78) helped to get chiropractic accepted into the mainstream health system and were responsible for expanding the educational breadth and reach of the practice.

Q: Passing values to constructor of custom HTMLElement I have a custom HTMLElement that's working as intended, but I cannot find a way to pass arguments to the constructor; instead I'm accessing passing the values in my custom tag, but then I have to set the values in connectedCallback(), which I'm not satisfied with.
Here's a basic version of what I'm doing now:
class TrackingPreview extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();

    const video = document.createElement('video');
    video.setAttribute('controls', '');
    video.setAttribute('width', '1920');
    video.setAttribute('height', '1080');
    shadow.appendChild(video);

    this.video = video;
  }

  connectedCallback() {
    const videoId = this.getAttribute('video-id');
    this.video.id = videoId;
  }
}

I'd rather pass the videoId directly to the constructor, something like this (which is NOT working):
JS:
 class TrackingPreview extends HTMLElement {
  constructor(videoId) {
    super();

    const video = document.createElement('video');
    video.setAttribute('id', videoId);
    video.setAttribute('controls', '');
    video.setAttribute('width', '1920');
    video.setAttribute('height', '1080');
    shadow.appendChild(video);
  }

  connectedCallback() {
  }
}

JS Script on HTML Page:
  $(document).ready(function(){
    const tracking_preview = document.createElement('tracking-preview','{{video_id}}');
    tracking_preview.videoId = '{{video_id}}';
    document.body.append(tracking_preview);
  });

Is there a way to pass values to a custom constructor? The docs imply it is possible but aren't very helpful for how to do it.

A: The rules of a constructor for a Web Component are pretty strict. One rule is that you are not allowed to pass in any arguments into the constructor.
https://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/custom/#custom-element-conformance
Instead use both a property and an attribute

class TrackingPreview extends HTMLElement {
  static get observedAttributes() {
    return ['videoid'];
  }

  constructor() {
    super();

    const video = document.createElement('video');
    video.setAttribute('controls', '');
    video.width = 192;
    video.height = 108;
    this.video = video;
    this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'}).appendChild(video);
  }

  attributeChangedCallback(attrName, oldVal, newVal) {
    if (oldVal !== newVal) {
      // Since we only watch videoid there is no need to check attrName
      this.video.setAttribute('id', newVal);
    }
  }

  get videoId() {
    return this.video.getAttribute('id');
  }

  set videoId(val) {
    if (val == null) { // check for null and undefined
      this.removeAttribute('videoid');
    }
    else {
      this.setAttribute('videoid', val);
    }
  }
}

customElements.define('tracking-preview', TrackingPreview);

setTimeout(function() {
  let el = document.querySelector('tracking-preview');
  if (el) {
    console.log(el.videoId);
    el.videoId = 99;
    console.log(el.videoId);
  }
}, 500);
<tracking-preview videoid="10"></tracking-preview>

When you attribute videoid is set then the attributeChangedCallback function is called and you pass the value down to your video element.
In my timeout function I both read and write the videoId property which read and writes the videoid attribute.

A: Remember that none of the regular HTML elements come with constructor arguments either: don't rely on them. Instead, rely on attributes, with JS property backing, and hook those up according to the custom elements spec.
So, in the same way that you'd have to the following code for an Image:
let img = new Image();
img.src = "https://example.com/someimage.jpg";
img.width = ...
...

or a script element:
let script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = ...
// or script.textContent = ...

your component should not need constructor properties. You'd use it like this:
let preview = new TrackingPreview();
preview.width = 1920;
preview.height = 1080;

or in HTML form,
<track-preview width="100" height="200" ...></track-preview>

And have your custom element react to those properties getting set:
class TrackingPreview extends HTMLElement {

  static get observedAttributes() {
    return [`width`, `height`];
  }

  constructor() {
    super();
    const shadow = this.attachShadow({mode: 'open'});
    const video = this.video = document.createElement('video');
    video.setAttribute(`controls`, `controls`);
    video.setAttribute(`width`, this.getAttribute(`width`) || 1920);
    video.setAttribute(`height`, this.getAttribute(`height`) || 1080);
    shadow.appendChild(video);
  }

  get width() {
    return this.video.width;
  }

  set width(val) {
    this.setAttribute(`width`, val);
  }

  get height() {
    return this.video.height;
  }

  set height(val) {
    this.setAttribuite(`height`, val);
  }

  attributeChangedCallback(name, oldValue, newValue) {
    if (name === `width`) {
      this.video.width = newValue;
    }
    if (name === `height`) {
      this.video.height = newValue;
    }
    // ...
  }

  // ...
}

A: You can do it with the new keyword:
const tacking_preview = new TrackingPreview( id )

911 Operator Shares The 14 Craziest Experiences She Had While Working
Other1 year ago
Andželika Jasevičiūtė
When something bad happens, emergency line operators are usually the first ones to hear our cries for help. They are there to asses the situation, calm us down, and send help. No one can deny that this job is demanding and stressful.
Imgur user PajamaStripes, who was a 911 operator for two years, decided to share 14 stories to show what her job is really all about. When asked what was the reason she started this job she told Bored Panda "I've always had a knack for helping people". During her job, she learned some easy tricks to help her deal with stress "Stress relief for me was mostly coloring books or snacks. Dry cereal was really popular since it was low-calorie and you could pick at it all night. I knew other people who would play games or watch movies on their laptops or tablets between calls". Despite all the horrible things PajamaStripes had witnessed, the good things that happened struck her the most "The best motivation was a "good" call. One that went smoothly and ended with everyone okay. The most memorable "good" thing would be a time that I was walking a father through CPR on his son who'd fallen in the pool, and the kid came out of it before we even hit the 2nd round of compressions." Read her most memorable stories from her job below! (Facebook cover image: travis.af.mil)
I only had about 5 hours of sleep in between 16-hour shifts. Only had an hour left and morning rush hour was ending, so I was ready to get out so bad. Next thing you know the lines are lighting up like a f**king Christmas tree. Luckily nobody was killed, but it sure woke us up!

At least no one died. I would be dead on my feet. /sorry
Got a call from an alarm company one day. Nbd, they're easy calls. Until I put in the address they gave me and it came up as a firehouse. I let the dispatcher know so she could clear it, but instead she sent out the next station. Turns out the station where the alarm was had left a lasagna in the oven and accidentally turned it to Broil instead of off in the rush to get out to their call. Everything (except the lasagna) turned out fine, but I'm sure the guy who did it will never live it down.

Hey, at least there are plenty of people there who know what to do!
"I called you 10 minutes ago! WHERE ARE THE COPS?!" Probably playing Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who has to deal with your ass, Brenda. In all seriousness, though. These 50-65 year old, suburban empty-nesters are worse than the ghetto people. At least when the ghetto folks call, there's usually something actually going on. Boomers will call just because they saw a guy fishing without his license on his hat and then INSIST they stay to speak to the officer when the damn thing was just on the guy's vest instead. (Happened way more than once.) Then they get all entitled when the officer doesn't come sirens-blaring right away. Sorry, Carol, I'll get them to stop writing that ticket for someone that was actually doing something wrong and come deal with your butthurt right away.

I'm a Boomer, 1961, I call the non-emergency number only when I see something genuinely stupid, like a 12 year old watching 3 toddlers alone at the pool, then I wait there for the Deputy to show up to avert tragedy. I have only called 911 3 times in my life: a car accident (I was hit), a rape (not me, but, a stranger to me) and while my husband was dying. I guess I'm part of the 1% of Boomers who still have a few functioning brain cells left despite what we did to ourselves in the '80's. The first responders have enough on their plate without another "Brenda" serving them another hot mess!
Sometimes the boomers have legit complaints, though. This one lady (still obnoxious) called because the kids down the street broke into her yard and stole the goldfish from her pond. Apparently she'd had issues with this family before (shocker). I still have no idea what they did with the fish.

I can't imagine calling 911 for stolen fish.
People who call a lot are called Frequent Flyers, and we had quite a few. One of them was nicknamed Chicken Little, because every time it snowed, she would call and tell us that the clouds had fallen out of the sky and we had to put them back up. The officers started telling her that they only fell because they were "extra" clouds and they would go back up on their own once the sky cleared. It usually worked and we wouldn't hear from her as much.

I told the story in another picture on this thread, but I had an elderly neighbour who would get people to call the ambulance for her, because she was, apparently, dying... And then would lock herself in the apartment and not answer the door. She did it so many times that the ambulance refused to come to her address when she called, hence why she needed other to call for her. And then of course, some years later, she died for real...
Another frequent flyer. A sweet man we'll call Charlie. Charlie knew he had issues and knew when he was about to have an episode. He was also, unfortunately, homeless. So whenever he was about to break down, he would find a landline to call us (because it automatically gives us the address and number). We got to know him so well that he even recognized our operator numbers. Sometimes he'd just say "I need to go" and we knew it was him.

I wish we had better resources for people like him. But, bless you and thank you to those who helped him as much as they could!!
There was a lady who had constant issues with her husband. One day she called and told us to get there quick, because she was going to shoot him. The thing is, Husband was her dog, and when officers got there (they actually rushed, because cops love dogs) she was standing in the yard holding a plunger under her arm, pretending to cock it like a shotgun and yelling "BOOM!!" at the poor pup. When the officers tried to take it from her, she just started yelling "You can't stop me!!" and ran around the yard trying to avoid them. Her "Husband" was taken to the Humane Society.
"Ma'am, you are under arrest for wasting police time."
This lady. We'll call her Eleanor. She was the QUEEN of the Frequent Flyers. Imagine Uncle Ruckus as a lady. The cops would take rookies out to deal with her just to f**k with them. She'd call almost every day with something new ranging from the relatively simple to the completely absurd. Some of my favorites are: -Black and Arab midgets broke into her apartment and stuck their fingers in her peanut butter. -A tall Arab man pissed on her chair while she was in the other room and then ran away. -Her upstairs neighbor kept peeing on her through a hole in the ceiling. She lived on the top floor. There wasn't even a leak. -A demon kept looking through her window. Flew away when she told him to "F**k off." And finally, - Snakes kept coming up through her floor and wrapping around her legs. Then they turned into hands that tried to violate her. She kept yelling "Get outta my h**chie!!" on the phone.

Well she was either great actress or very sick woman which needed to be taken care of.
This was the single funniest call that ever happened. Officers went out for a violent domestic. Suddenly over the radio comes "We're gonna need backup. He's beating her with a boa." Dispatcher: "Repeat? He's beating her with what?" Officer screams: "A SNAKE!! A BIG. ASS. SNAKE!! Oh HELL no!" This dude was straight up beating his woman with their 5ft long pet snake. The snake was taken to a local rescue and was okay aside from some bruising. Another officer ended up adopting him.

Elderly callers are just wholesome for the most part. It's typically either they need some help getting up, they're lost/confused, or they're concerned about someone they haven't seen in a while. Most of my coworkers used to get annoyed because they can be a bit slow and they can have trouble hearing, but I loved them. It was a nice little reprieve from all the awful s**t going on. Especially because they were usually easy to help and were always grateful. One guy I will always remember just called because his watch was broken and he wanted to know what time it was. We wouldn't even open a call for him. Just tell him the time and he'd say "Thank you" and hang up. Eventually, he got a new watch and stopped calling. I honestly really miss him.

Time for some badassery. The only time I ever saw the whole department actually work smoothly together. Our system was getting updated, and when that happens, we have to do everything on paper, since we can't very well shut down 911. It was early in the morning and a bank robbery call comes in. This thing turned into a full on car chase spanning 8 different municipalities with 4 jurisdictions in 3 different zones, AND state police territory. We had supervisors and trainees on the floor running cards back and forth, calltakers writing out copies, 2 dispatchers running the whole county while the rest dealt with the chase. One of the ones on the chase relaying everything to State Police (in another building). It was controlled chaos. After we got him and everything was clear, the wave of relief that came over the room was legendary.

Wow, I can only imagine. I'd love to see something like that in a movie starting with future robbers trying to find out (or maybe somehow accidentally finding out) from when exactly the computer system is out for maintenance.
WARNING: THE NEXT THREE STORIES ARE BAD ONES. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE. Starting with the least awful. I once had a caller we'll call Dan. Dan was nuts and had just gotten out of jail. He called because he was lost and didn't know how to get back home. I helped him figure it out and sent some officers to make sure he was okay once we found out where he was. Then Dan kept calling, specifically requesting my dispatch number, for almost 2 weeks, making sexual comments and asking to see me. After the first few calls, We would send him straight to the supervisor. After a couple days, he was told that he would face charges if he continued. After his number was red listed (he can still call, but its flagged and sent to the supervisor automatically), he got a new number and kept calling. He kept getting more angry and started making threats. I actually had my supervisor walk me to the bus stop and wait with me after that. One day he called and said he was in the wooded area just down the street, waiting for me to get off work. Officers were sent eventually found him close by.

Wow, that was scary. I'm glad you weren't physically hurt and hope he won't make any more problems.
First call that made me have to get up and go sit somewhere quiet. A girl about my age called in and wouldn't stop crying. She was hyperventilating, bawling. It took me almost 2 minutes to be able to get anything out of her. Her neighbor had shot her dog after it had gotten into his yard through the fence. He did it while she has run into the house to get his leash and had told the neighbor she'd be right back. Said neighbor had a long history of violence toward animals and had been arrested before for shooting stray cats and squirrels.

That is so sad. I couldn't imagine facing that person later. :(
This one is hard to think about. It was a late shift. Some time after midnight, and we got several calls. One from the owner of a house that had just been hit by a Semi, one from the neighbor, and one from the driver who was trapped in the cab. The driver got our best dispatcher. A lady who'd been there for 20-some years. She could handle anything. I was connected to her line for a training review. He was trapped in the cab and was more worried about the people in the house than himself. He just kept saying "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Then he just stopped. He starts saying "Oh God. Oh God. I smell diesel. I can smell the diesel. I'm going to die. I'm gonna die here." She was trying to calm him down, but everytime she switched to mute, she started shouting at the dispatcher to make them hurry. It ignited before they got there, though. I can still hear the sound. Him screaming, you could hear the flames, and then nothing. And the best dispatcher got up, signed off, and walked away. She didn't come back until her next shift. There was nothing we could've done, but we're the ones who are supposed to be able to do something. That's the thing that makes jobs like this the hardest. EDIT: The accident report said he struck the gas line when he went through the kitchen. That's probably what started the fire. I don't know what ignited it, though.

Some of these people seem to be in need of medical help and you just made them look crazy. In Europe, to those type of calls would be dispatched also medical emergency besides police and those people wont be treated as punishment to "rookie police guys".
Where I live, they would send police officers who are trained to recognize mental illness, and how to handle the situation. They won't be transported to the Hospital unless they willingly go, or it can be determined that the person could be harmful to themselves or others. Thank you for your concern.

In the campaign for the Scottish independence referendum in September, it is hard to disagree with Alex Salmond, Scotland's first minister and Scottish National Party (SNP) leader, that the SNP has so far made all the running. The pro-independence Yes campaign has built up substantial momentum.
It is fairly easy to see why. A message of change, with all its promise of a new beginning, is inherently more powerful than the message of the status quo. One does not need to be among society's less advantaged to feel that life could be better with a change of circumstances, that the grass is greener on the other side.
But there is a still stronger reason why the defenders of the union, the Better Together campaign led by Alistair Darling, have not found their message easy to get across. The fundamental problem of the pro-union side is that they have no authority for anything they say. Salmond can say, 'Vote for me and I will do X, Y and Z.' But Darling cannot: He has no constitutional position to promise anything at all.
The result is that only Salmond can describe what greater powers Scotland will get if the electorate votes for him. Although a Yes vote is, in reality, more of a step into the unknown, Salmond can present it as delivering the more certain of the two outcomes. A No vote may lead to greater devolved powers – but then again it may not, and even if it does, no one has any idea what those new devolved powers might be.
To remedy this, an all-party campaign for the union is required, with the power to make good on its promises. Westminster must play a central role.
What is needed is a trilateral agreement among the three main UK parties that, if Scotland votes to stay in the union, it will be offered a defined list of extra powers.
Only then can the unionists argue two important points.
First, a Yes victory means that the Scots will get independence and may or may not keep much of what they hold dear (the Queen, the pound, the BBC, the armed forces, the university system, the financial system, the National Health Service).
Second, by staying with the union, they will keep all they hold dear and will also get a set array of extra devolved powers.
And then the unionists can start to give positive reasons why Scotland should stay in the UK. They can start to claim that a No vote delivers certainty and aspiration, whereas a Yes vote delivers uncertainty and isolation.
This would be a major about-turn – in effect a declaration that the Better Together campaign so far, with its emphasis on warnings of what will happen if Scotland goes it alone, has proved too negative and not sufficiently compelling. That message is important – there are consequences of voting for independence, and not all are favourable – but it needs to be leavened with a more positive argument for retaining the union.
If this is not done, England may find it is sleepwalking towards a future it does not expect and will not like. The Westminster politicians do not have long left to keep their country together.

Measures finalized for November ballot
Aug. 10, 2006 12:00 a.m.
A number of last-minute November ballot measures were submitted on deadline Tuesday, including a 10 percent increase inthe city's parking tax and an increase in compensation for tenants evicted by landlords who invoke the power of a controversial state law.
City supervisors had until 5 p.m. Wednesday to put ordinances on the November ballot, something that required four board member signatures. The local ballot measures require a simple majority to pass.
Supervisor Chris Daly authored legislation that would enact a 10 percent increase to The City's parking tax, currently set at 25 percent. For every $10 spent on parking, The City now collects $2.
The tax would affect businesses citywide that charge for parking, such as parking garages and valets. Last year, The City raised about $50 million from the tax and the 10 percent increase is expected to generate an additional $20 million. If approved by voters, a 35 percent parking tax would go into effect January 2007.
Daly said the tax would not only generate more money for The City's operating budget, but also allow city voters to determine "whether or not we want to accommodate more cars in already congested streets of San Francisco or promote alternatives like public transportation."
Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi submitted an ordinance increasing the amount landlords must pay tenants who are evicted for no fault of their own. The City has seen an increasing number of evictions under the Ellis Act, a state law allowing landlords to evict tenants in order to get out of the rental business.
"There is an epidemic of evictions in San Francisco that demands a more effective response in dealing with this crisis," Mirkarimi said.
Tenants receive $1,000 in relocation fees. If voters approve the ordinance, tenants would receive $4,500.
Among other last-minute submissions, Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval submitted an ordinance that would make it more difficult for chain stores to open in neighborhoods' commercial areas by forcing these businesses to undergo a hearing before the Planning Commission.
Charter Amendments
Charter amendments make changes to the city constitution. Since the charter was adopted by voters, all charter amendments must be adopted by voters. To qualify: 10 percent of registered voters or six supervisors must approve
Parental Leave Polices
Allows for members of the board and commissions to participate in meetings via teleconferencing when physically unable to attend due to pregnancy, childbirth, adoption or foster care. Submitted by: Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier
Setting Salaries of Certain Elected Officials
Requires the base salaries of the mayor, city attorney, district attorney, public defender, assessor-recorder, treasurer and sheriff to be adjusted every five years based on the average of salaries of comparable officials in other Bay Area counties.
Submitted by: Supervisor Aaron Peskin
Once passed, it becomes law. Supervisors can pass ordinances; however, if an ordinance is passed by voters, typically it can only be changed by voters. To qualify: Takes four supervisors or 10 percent of voter turnout in last mayoral election
Requires San Francisco employers with less than 11 employees to provide five sick days a year per worker and businesses with more than 10 workers to provide nine sick days a year per employee. Submitted by: Supervisor Chris Daly
Small-Business Protection Act
Would require chain stores, those with 11 or more stores, to undergo a hearing before the Planning Commission before being allowed to open up in the commercial areas of neighborhoods. Submitted by: Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval
Relocation Benefits for No-Fault Evictions
Requires landlords who evict tenants for capital improvement projects or by invoking the power of the state law known as the Ellis Act (allows landlords to evict tenants if they want to get out of the rental business) to pay tenants $4,500 in relocation costs, which is a $3,500 increase.
Submitted by: Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi
Parking Tax Surcharge
Increase The City's parking tax from 25 percent to 35 percent beginning January 2007. Submitted by: Supervisor Chris Daly
Protects private information by prohibiting The City from
disclosing information about any person unless when required by federal or state law or by judicial order.
Submitted by: Supervisor Chris Daly
Declaration of Policy
To qualify: Requires four supervisor signatures
Mayor participates in monthly meeting
with Board of Supervisors
Urges the mayor of San Francisco to appear in person at
one regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Supervisors each month "to engage in formal policy discussions with member of the board." Submitted by: Supervisor Chris Daly
Calling for impeachment of
President Bush and Vice President Cheney
Calls for the impeachment of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "for violating the public trust and for knowingly harming the United States of America, the state of California, and the city and county of San Francisco."
Housing for Seniors and People with Disabilities
The City would explore ways to meet the need of affordable housing for seniors with limited means and the disabled. Submitted by: Supervisor Chris Daly
