Q: JS: get the closest id number Having the following structure:
Neighborhood

    <select class="inputs_form_data" id="neighborhood_id2" name="neighborhood_id2">
        <option value=""></option>
        <option value=""></option>
    </select>

remover

I'm trying to when the remove link is clicked, to get the id number of the select id. In this case, I need to get the number 2 from the "neighborhood_id2".
But first I just trying to get the full id. neighborhood_id2 with the following code:
$(document.body).on('click','a.delete-region', function () {
    alert($(this).closest('select').attr("id"));
});

but this returns me undefined.
note: the id number is generated on-the-fly on a dynamic form. So I may have neighborhood_id3 and so on.

A: Try using .closest('tr') which will get you the tr and then find the select,
alert($(this).closest('tr').find('select').attr("id"));

As Andreas pointed out.. use .on (delegated events) / .delegate


The Bible tells us in no uncertain terms that repentance is the first step, and a necessary step, toward salvation. No one shall be saved without it. Repentance is to be preached among all nations (Luke 24:47). Without repentance our sins will not be forgiven (Acts 2:38). Baptism, scripture memorization, a good reputation, and all else are worthless to us without repentance. This is a fact that Satan has long well known. Would it not be then an obvious work of Satan to confuse the meaning of this doctrine in our minds – so that we would then continue to be his children, and not God's children?
To repent is to have a "godly sorrow" for our sins (II Cor. 7:10). But what then, is sin? Sure, you have heard people talk about sin, and how bad it is. But have they told you what the Bible says that sin is? That's where the catch is! You can only repent of your sins when you know for sure what God says your sins are. How and why would you be sorry for something if you didn't know that thing was wrong in the first place? How will you learn to please God if you don't know what He dislikes and says is wrong? Is sin doing something that you feel in your mind (using your own reasoning) is wrong? That's what the ministers today are teaching. But only the Bible has the answer. Roman 3:20 tells us that 'by the law is the knowledge of sin." Perhaps that might not be plain enough for some, so it's repeated elsewhere: "Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law" (I John 3:4).
To repent is to truly recognize how you have fallen short of what God expects of you, and to truly be sorry for this – seeking from then on to obey God by keeping His laws that you have broken in the past. Only real repentance works. If you pray to God to forgive you for our sins – and keep right on committing them just as before – then you weren't really sorry for your sins.
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be" (Rom. 8:7). For this reason man rebels against the things of God. It is his nature to be rebellious against God. Man must, and shall, be delivered from this natural state of rebellion. God set in motion a law of the mind that causes a person to rebel. Paul recognized this law working in his own mind when he said: "I find then a law that, when I would do good, evil is present with me" (Rom 7:21). When Paul said: "I delight in the law of God after the inward man" (v. 22), then and only then he could "see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members" (v. 23).
We, like Paul, must get this law of God working in us to reveal the sin in us and the evil that confronts us in this present world.
Someone once said "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." You don't change by concentration on change, or defining what change there is going to be. You don't change by making excuses for your short-comings and hiding them from yourself, either. This is just the opposite of the "power of positive thinking," where you decide what you want to be, and then be it. Now don't jump up and shout "No, no I can't! I've got this and that quality and I can't accept it all." God will accept you just as you are, provided you accept yourself for just what you are. Only then can the change take place. We do not know what we should be. We do not know what we should do. We don't even know what we are very well. That's why the Lord promised to send us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can then guide us as we seek to do God's will. Self-acceptance is just a part of repentance. If we can't accept and admit that we really are the screwed-up mess that we really are – how can we go the God in prayer and ask Him to forgive us? Then how can we know what to ask Him to forgive if we don't even know what sin is? Well, we can't. If there were no law, there could be no sin. And if there were no sin, we wouldn't need forgiveness. Since we were begotten after Calvary, and we do need God's Son as our Mediator and our Saviour, our very existence proves that the Law had not been done away with.
Once you have learned what repentance is all about, and have learned to accept yourself, some things really happen. Other people are easier to understand and are more "real." When we recognize our own faults it's easier to accept the faults in other people. We don't have to like their faults but we can accept them better even though they have these faults. So it's' easier for us to love and love is the fulfilling of the law. Just about every one of us can look back and remember a few people who have taken us just the way we are. No deals, no bargains. They take you because you are you, unconditionally; not "if you will shave your beard" or "If you will fix your hair-differently "or "If you will believe just like me." These people saw our faults and loved us anyway – that's what the Master did.
Our transgression of the Law must be acknowledged, and we must have a "godly sorrow" in our hearts because of this transgression: this is repentance. When we find true repentance we also begin to accept ourselves. When we truly accept ourselves as we really are, then we can begin to be molded into what the Father would have us to be.
We should give careful study to the Noah-Lot comparison Jesus made with our day. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. As it was in the day of Lot. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed, or "such will it be in the day when the Son of man appears" (Luke 18, Lamsa).
Now look at Matthew's record of the "Noah" comparison: "Just as in the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For the people before the flood were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and carried them all away; such will be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken away and the other left" (Matt. 24:37-40 Lamsa).
Jesus was stressing the point that the people were glutting themselves in their indulgences up "until the day that Noah entered into the ark." His warning was about what they were doing before the flood.
"Likewise as it was in the days of Lot." The warning is about what they were doing before the fire and brimstone fell. "But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone." Lot was safely out of Sodom and then the fire fell. Noah and Lot were in their places safely before any part of the judgments fell.
Christ added an important detail to the comparison between Lot's day and ours when He admonished: "Remember Lot's wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it" (Luke 17:32-33). What might it be about this woman that Christ wishes us to remember? She wasn't involved in the sodomitical sins. She wasn't a mocker about the impending destruction like her sons-in-law. She held the hand of the delivering angel as she was escaping the doomed city, and she got part way to the place of safety. Then, she was lost while she was being saved. The sin and unbelief of her heart that brought God's punishment upon her is expressed in two words: she "looked back" (Gen. 19:26).
In remembering her, did Jesus mean that if we don't look back, the coming judgment will not fall on us as condemnation fell upon her? Did He mean that she would have escaped with her husband before any part of the fiery condemnation fell upon Sodom if she had not looked back?
In Lot's day, as in Noah's, the people made gods of their possessions and pleasures. To them, as with multitudes today, these things are "life." Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it." Christ taught much about life, and when Lot's wife looked back, it was with an intense yearning for those things that were life to her. Christ called it "stuff in the house" (Luke 17:31). Lot's wife lost both her stuff and her life. She looked backward to Sodom, but her heart was in Zoar.
Lot's wife represents a multitude of professing Christians who are not living in obedience to our Lord's warning: "but take heed to yourselves, lest your souls be weighed down with self-indulgence and drunkenness or the anxieties of this life, and that day come upon you, suddenly, like a falling trap; for it will come on all the dwellers on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:35 Weymouth).
This present evil world offers may attractions – some good, some bad. Some lawful one may become a snare unto us if we are not very careful. Some bad ones may appear all right. Isn't it true that many "things" and much "stuff" we possess become very dear to us, and many hours are devoted to that which we ordinarily suppose is harmless? Many scriptures warn us of a too close attachment with "stuff:" "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (II Cor. 5:17).Paul said in Galatians 6:14 that: "The world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world," I John 2:15 states: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world." If we do not heed these warnings we may become ". . . . . lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God" (II Tim. 3:4). Paul brings many of these scriptures into focus when he states: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hat righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (II Cor. 6:14-17).
An understanding of God's Eternal law will help each of us to understand how to "come out" and "be separate" to the Lord. Once we truly repent that is the course we must take.

Visa and American Express have significant exposure to China, and the gains that these Dow Jones stocks have seen year-to-date could dwindle. | Source: Shutterstock
These 2 Dow Jones Stocks Are Up 30% YTD Each & They're Not Tech
September 23, 2020 UTC: 12:53 PM. August 12, 2019 UTC: 8:05 PM. by Gerelyn Terzo
When you hear market leaders, it probably conjures up images of Amazon, Facebook, and Google, to name a few of the FANG stocks. But what if we told you that two of the top performers in the Dow Jones index year-to-date aren't technology at all but instead American Express and Visa, which are dividend stocks that have gained more than 30 percent each year-to-date. Not to be outdone, Microsoft and Apple are also up roughly the same so far this year.
To be fair, both financials and technology stocks are getting hit pretty hard in the trade-war fueled stock market downturn, but not all of the gains have been erased. In fact, the Dow Jones remains only about 5 percent from its peak, which isn't too shabby considering the talk about an economic recession. If things continue to worsen, the bottom could still fall out. But for now, investors can thank strong consumers – who continue to spend money – for holding up the economy while the trade war rages on.

Dow Jones Stocks: American Express, Visa, & Apple
Speaking of finance and tech, American Express and Visa will soon have to contend with a newcomer to the credit card space – Apple, which incidentally is another Dow Jones stock. The tech giant has partnered with Goldman Sachs and Visa rival Mastercard for a tech-savvy version of a credit card that's expected to make its debut sometime in August, according to Business Insider. The Apple card has all the features you would expect from the maker of the iPhone, including a virtual version that lets users pay with the iPhone mobile wallet. So for those consumers who don't have a problem trusting big tech with your financial details, the Apple card could be a thorn in the side of traditional credit card issuers including American Express and Visa.
Visa CEO Al Kelly recently told CNBC he remains "cautiously optimistic" about the U.S. economy.
Kelly isn't deterred by the Apple card, instead opting to take the high road and pointing to the company's "great brand."
"The little I've seen of it, it's quite cool…They've got a loyal following of customers. Those customers will vote by getting the card and using the card over time. So I think it's a little too early to tell just how successful it will be, but Apple is a good brand and a good marketer."
Similar to Apple, Visa and American Express also have significant exposure to China, so as long as the trade war lingers, the gains that these Dow Jones stocks have seen year-to-date could dwindle.

Thai Crypto Regulation Makes Progress as 4 Crypto Businesses Get Licenses
By Manuel
The SEC in Thailand announced that the Ministry of Finance has granted licenses to four crypto businesses out of seven applications under review to operate in the country under the Emergency Degree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 (2018).
Prior to this development, the seven crypto-related businesses were granted provisional rights to operate under the Emergency Decree on Digital Asset Businesses B.E. 2561 (2018), while their license applications were being reviewed.
Per the announcement, three of the crypto ventures that were granted the license were exchanges while the fourth is a digital asset broker. The four are Bitcoin Exchange Co Ltd, Bitkub Online Co Ltd, Satang Corporation and Coins TH Co Ltd.
Two exchange license requests from Cash2coin Co Ltd and Southeast Asia Digital Exchange Co Ltd were rejected on the grounds of failing to meet the approval criteria with respect to important work systems. These included "systems for custody of client assets and Know Your Customer (KYC) were inconsistent with the SEC's acceptable standards, while the sufficiency of their IT security and cybersecurity systems could not be verified".
As a result of the rejection, the financial regulator is granting Cash2coin and SEADEX a deadline of 14 January 2019 to cease all business operations which was previously accorded under temporal arrangements according to the transitional provisions of the Emergency Decree. The SEC, however, mentioned that the rejected applicants can still apply in the future provided they meet the criteria for the application.
One more application from Coin Asset Co Ltd is still under review by the board due to organizational changes in its executive board. However, the SEC noted that the business may proceed with its normal business operation.
Asia as a whole has a rather unequivocal voice when it comes to the stance on crypto. While some are making efforts to accommodate the emerging technology and seeking for a compromise, others are clamping down hard on the industry.
Thailand's crypto industry frequented the news in 2018; highlights included stern regulations which came down hard on operators and promoters in the country. Recently, it has been found to incline towards the advancement of the industry with a more considerate regulatory framework.
Last year, Thai finance minister Apisak Tantivorawong said the new law was "necessary to comprehensively regulate cryptocurrencies and digital tokens to prevent money laundering, tax avoidance and crime".
Moreover, over 50 ICO projects and 20 cryptocurrency exchanges had filed for a license to operate their businesses in the region in August 2018, which in turn was indicative of the high interest in digital assets. The Thai SEC secretary general said that "digital assets and cryptocurrency trading in the Thai market are quite active".
The country has also indicated an interest in applying blockchain technology to its economy. The Director General of Thailand's Revenue Department Ekniti Nitithanprapas has said that blockchain and machine learning will be utilized in tax avoidance probes.

Inlandia at Home and Riverside Public Library Present:
First Thursdays Arts Walk + Book Launch with Authors Marj Charlier and Victoria Waddle
On Zoom, to RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/ContriteRebels
In partnership with the Riverside Public Library for the City of Riverside's First Thursdays Virtual Arts Walk program, Inlandia invites you to help welcome two new books into the world! Join Inlandia authors Marj Charlier (The Rebel Nun) and Victoria Waddle (Acts of Contrition) for delightful readings from their books, followed by a conversation about writing and the path to publishing. An audience Q&A will immediately follow.
Marj Charlier's The Rebel Nun (Blackstone Publishing, 2021) is based on the true story of Clotild, the daughter of a sixth-century king and his concubine, who leads a rebellion of nuns against the rising misogyny and patriarchy of the medieval church. A former Wall Street Journal reporter, corporate finance executive, and author of eleven novels, Marj writes, works as a publishing consultant, and teaches writing workshops in Palm Springs.
Victoria Waddle's Acts of Contrition (Los Nietos Press, 2021) is a gripping short story collection about the complex lives of modern women. Some can look back and laugh, some find luck in their escape from harm, some engineer their own good fortune, all the while riding a wave of dark humor. What all the characters come to understand is that silence places them at greater risk than speaking out. They progress toward freedom through the telling of their stories. Victoria Waddle has experience as a high school teacher and teacher-librarian and a lifelong resident of Southern California. Now that her three sons are grown, she lives there with her husband and two very sassy dogs.

Chi Sigma Iota
CHI SIGMA IOTA is the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International. As such, members are committed to maintaining high standards of professional competence and service. Our goal is to serve others to the best of our ability and to encourage others to do the same as members of the counseling profession. Members of the Society have distinguished themselves through scholarship and professional excellence which is exemplary.
Meaning of CSI Symbols
The Greek letters for CSI were selected to denote that we are the Counseling Society International.
The mission is to promote excellence in the profession of counseling on a truly international scope.
The CSI Colors:
White for Virtue – goodness; general moral excellence; right action and thinking
Blue for Trustworthiness – honesty, integrity, reliability, and justice toward others is affirmed
Integrity is implicit within these as well.
The wreath was chosen to encircle the Greek letters as a symbol of honor earned and promise for continued commitment to high ideals.
What is a Professional Counselor?
CSI is an honor society dedicated to promoting excellence in the profession of counseling. Because common usage of the term "counselor" can be misleading, professional counselors are distinguished by their preparation at the graduate level in pursuit of both Masters and doctoral degrees. One's highest or terminal degree in counselor education is considered evidence of desire to identify with the profession and through membership to support the mission of the Society.
For purposes of clarity among helping professionals who use counseling as a method or its techniques, the graduate education of members of the profession of counseling are defined by the national standards of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Individuals whose programs of study in counselor education were accredited by the Council of Rehabilitation Education (CORE) also are eligible for membership.
While a small number of members may be enrolled in programs that are not accredited by CACREP at the present time, the program where chapters are located must prepare its graduates to be eligible for state or national credentialing as professional counselors and fundamentally meet the minimum standards as defined by CACREP.
Over eighty percent of the counselor education programs that sponsor CSI chapters are nationally accredited. CSI's goal is to encourage and ultimately expect all chapters to be located in nationally accredited counselor education programs in the next few years.
The CSI Executive Council (5/2010) in an effort to support solidarity in the profession endorsed the ACA and AASCB 20/20 Visions for the Future of Counseling consensus definition of counseling by incorporating it into the following statement to be consistent with the mission of CSI. CSI was a participating organization throughout the 20/20 initiative:
Professional counselors hold their highest graduate degree in counselor education from a nationally accredited preparation program, are credentialed by authorized state and/or national agencies, and adhere to its competency standards on matters of ethics, diversity and behavior in order to contribute to the realization of a healthy society by fostering wellness and human dignity. As a consequence,counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals.
CSI values high standards in the relatively young and emerging field of counseling. Along with credentialing, standards, and graduate school accreditation, CSI is striving to define and unify the counseling profession. One way we do this is through active, service oriented university based chapters composed of neophyte and experienced professional counselors.
Recognition for the pursuit of personal excellence is a fundamental purpose of the Society. It is through the efforts of individual members that the collective influence of the Society is realized. As a consequence, the Society seeks to identify and encourage all those who have made a commitment to excel in all that they do. From the time of their first invitation to join the Society and throughout their professional careers, CSI strives to support and promote the activities of its members and chapters. In addition to the membership frameable certificate and recognition pin, members are encouraged to display honor regalia in their offices and to wear them at official functions as both a sign of their accomplishments and their continuing commitment to excellence.

Mr Unforgettable, by Karina Bliss
Sometimes I wonder how my brain works.
I have read several books by Ms Bliss, and each time she manages to make me cry at least once, in the very best way.
And yet, the last book of hers that I read was Mr Imperfect–almost two full years ago!
The other day, however, I saw her name somewhere, and some part of my brain woke up and said, "hey, you wanted to get the other two in the Lost Boys trilogy, right?" and off to amazon I went and…
Here we are.
I'm usually very adamant about reading linked books in order, but because I got both this and Mr Irresistible on my kindle, I managed to fumble and read them out of order.¹ The great news is that it doesn't really matter, because Mr Unforgettable stands alone just perfectly well, and while the two other Lost Boys do show up, their presence complements the story, it doesn't detract from it.
This book is so good, just so delicious in every way!³
Oh and, by the way, may I say how much I love that Ms Bliss' stories are set in New Zealand? Hell, yeah!
Here's the blurb from the author's website:
Luke Carter can never forget that he'd been abandoned as a child. And that's why the millionaire and former Olympian is driven to build his camp for underprivileged kids in Beacon Bay. If only the rural New Zealand community trusted his motives.
And if only the beautiful widow mayor, Liz Light, would stop grieving long enough to prove where her loyalties lie–with Luke or her late husband–and show him once and for all which man is truly unforgettable.
Christian, Jordan and Luke have been friends since university. In the last fifteen years, and through a combination of skills, hard work and luck, they have made a fortune in the corporate world.
None of them, however, have forgotten just how hard it is to grow up without money or family, or security. So after their proposal to build a hotel near Beacon Bay gets shot down, they decide to put the land to good use by building a camp for disadvantaged kids from inner city Auckland.
Unfortunately, not everyone is so charitably minded, and petty politicians exercise their puny power by making the process drag as much as they legally can. The camp's only ally, if icy neutrality can be considered as such, is the current mayor, Liz Light.
Basically, Liz got elected when her husband Harry, the town's favorite mayor ever, died in a car crash two years earlier. In her grief, when several people in town government asked her to put her name down in the emergency election after his death, she accepted, as another way to cope with the loss while keeping his legacy alive.
Since then, most of what Liz has accomplished as mayor have been things Harry wanted to do–up to and including supporting Camp Chance. If it had been up to her, she wouldn't have championed it at all. I confess that this is the one thing about Liz that bugged me, but I'll get into this a bit later.
We learn pretty early on that, for all that they loved each other deeply and were very happy together, Liz was much younger than Harry. In fact, Liz is only nine years older than Kirby, her stepdaughter. And during the entire nine years of the marriage, Kirby hated Liz, only becoming family to each other after Harry's death.
As the novel starts, Luke is jumping through yet another hoop contrived by the local council to delay construction of the camp. Even though both Jordan and Christian are willing to put in time in Beacon Bay, they have personal lives elsewhere, while Luke is happy to withdraw from Auckland, corporate bickering and the media's interest as he waits for his divorce to become final.²
For her part, Liz comes to realize that many of the people she's worked closely with, and relied on, since becoming mayor, were basically bidding their time. Now that mayoral elections draw near once again, Harry's former colleagues start showing their true colors.
Therefore, if she wants to be re-elected, Liz must both mind her step (i.e., continue being the perfect widow), and campaign in earnest. The only problem is, Liz has many secrets, some of which not even Harry knew. And one of these leads to her making a deal with the devil–Luke.
Because, despite having staunchly supported late Harry's Swimming Safe initiative…Liz doesn't know how to swim. And one of the campaign ops Kirby arranges for her (without asking, mind you) is to swim a 100 yards 'race' in the Bay. Who better to teach a person scared of the water to swim, than an Olympic swimming champion, yes?
Luke agrees to teach Liz to swim and, because he's a decent human being, he never tries to leverage knowing her big secret into help with the camp. Instead, he teases her into playing chess with him–one game per swimming lesson. Inevitably, they become friends. Friends who do their utmost to ignore the growing attraction between them.
Of course, all sorts of delicious shenaningans ensue.
For example, Luke's friends are worried about him–they know better than he does just how deeply the divorce hit him. Therefore, in well honored tradition, they have spent months trying to set him up with friends, and friends of friends, and so on and so forth. Which of course doesn't go over well with Luke.
So when Jordan's wedding approaches, and to forestall any more matchmaking attempts during that weekend, Luke tells them he's seeing someone, Fredericka (Fred, for short). It just so who happens that Fred is Liz, who goes to the wedding incognito.
The wedding itself is fantastic–and that is all I can say about it without spoiling it. Going into it cold makes the experience a thousand times better, trust me on this.
Of course, no romance reader is surprised that it is during this short getaway that Luke and Liz–finally!!!–become lovers, or that Liz is determined to keep their relationship a secret. Not only is the mayoral race at stake, and for many in town Luke is not just an outsider but the enemy, but Liz fears Kirby's reaction. On the plus side, since neither of them is looking for a relationship, having a weekend fling that becomes an affair with someone they like and care for is the best of both worlds.
Or so they think.
There are so many things going on in this story that for a moment there I didn't think Ms Bliss would be able to pull them all together satisfactorily within the relatively short length. Yes, Superromances are long for category, but they are still shorter than regular length novels. I shouldn't have doubted her though, for once again, she did it.
The sex is by no means explicit, though it's there alright (and sometimes less is a lot more, let me tell you). The best part though, is that every single kiss and caress have actual meaning in the story. The sex on the page means something to the characters, it moves their relationship forward or reveals who they are behind the masks they wear with the world, and even sometimes with the people close to them.
I absolutely love how each of our protagonists realized what they truly feel for the other. Considering how deeply wary of vulnerability both of them are, their reactions are priceless–and their struggles feel so real. Sometimes, just like in real life, even frank conversations can't save the day, because it's not easy to articulate our deepest feelings, or to be so utterly vulnerable to someone else.
Luke broke my heart. He truly believes he deserved to be dumped–if not *that* publicly–because he 'probably doesn't know how to love.' And yet, in all his actions he shows how much he cares, particularly about Liz. And he truly is such a decent man! No, he is not perfect by any means–I don't much care for characters who are. I'm here for the journey, after all.
While not as much as Liz, Luke does grow as the story progresses. He still struggles with his perception of intimacy and love, and his abandonment issues undermine his sense of self as someone worthy of love–which comes to play later in the story. All this notwithstanding, he does put his heart on the line, both through actions and words.
Liz grows the most in the story, and keep in mind that she's not a helpless doormat to begin with. She has plenty of weak spots and hides too much of who she is behind the "Harry Light widow" and "mayor of Beacon Bay" labels, but she is not weak.
During her widowhood, Liz has come into her own as a politician with clear goals and ambitions for the town she serves, and she won't let herself be pushed around by the good old boys network around her. Her weakest spot is Kirby, and Kirby's daughter, Harriet. Because Kirby's and Liz' relationship is so new, and was built upon mutual grief over the loss of Harry, Liz is afraid to test its strength. Having a relationship, let alone "just a meaningless fling," with a man so much younger than Harry, would likely not only rock, but capsize the proverbial boat.
Which reminds me: Luke is younger than Liz by two or three years, and this is mentioned exactly ONCE during the entire book. And not even in a "oh my dog, he's younger!' way, but in a "I'm 35, how old are you?'" "33" "Oh, I thought you were younger" way. Absolutely zero agonizing about being "too old for him" or some other bullshit.
Back to the story.
There are a couple of scenes in the book that had me crying, because the emotions both characters experience are so honest, so real on the page. You can't help but suffer with Luke when his divorce becomes final, or grieve with Liz as she finally allows herself to cry, both for the lonely child she once was, and as she accepts the finality of Harry's death.
To all this relationship and characterization goodness, we must add all the other people and events in the story.
There's Delores, the town's busybody, who could have easily become a caricature of the old, dried up and bitter spinster, but who isn't. Kirby and her too-perceptive husband, Neville, who have such different views of Liz. Snowy, one of Harry's friends, whom Liz thought of as a mentor and friend, but who is actually just another politician, willing to use any dirt on Liz he can find, and who is definitely not above lying, if it wins him the mayoral seat.
There's the town itself, with its resistance to change, its reluctance to accept strangers, particularly poor inner city kids, into a mostly middle-class-to-well-to-do population. The children when they finally are allowed to come for the inaugural holiday.
Both Jordan and Christian, and their wives appear on the page, just long enough to be charming and to contribute something to this storyline.
There are two things, and two things only, that truly irked me about this book.
One pertains to Liz secrets. Turns out, she was a foster kid herself. Having Liz oppose the camp, for all that she never lets on publicly, makes her come across as…well, petty. Yes, I get it, she doesn't want to deal with all the baggage of her childhood. But how can she make this about her, even internally? No one is asking to volunteer at the camp or even interact with the children on any but the most superficial level.
And what the camp offer these children who lack most of the basic things in life–from family to security–can effectively change their young lives, for the better, forever.
So that did bother me, a lot.
The second thing was the syrupy epilogue. Yes, it's pretty mild for category standards–Liz is not pregnant. Yet. But of course she won the re-election, so lets pretend what happened in the last chapter and a half just didn't happen. What the hell?
Mr Unforgettable is a really good read, and it gets 8.25 out of 10.
¹ You know, one of those "you had one job" moments
² Two. Years. Wait to finally be divorced? I shudder in horror. Mind you, when I lived in Venezuela, it was the same thing, and if memory serves, in Mexico it's one year separation. But I gotta tell you, making people who know they loathe each other continue to have to deal with each other for two more years? It's asking for ugliness. I am glad beyond the telling–particularly when we had to start dealing with parenting in separate households–that we didn't have to wait.
³ The whole trilogy is very well written, and I'm so glad Harlequin has most of these old books available digitally these days.

Mr Irresistible, by Karina Bliss | Her Hands, My Hands - 02/03/2015
[…] I have mentioned before that I really like Ms Bliss' writing, despite the inexplicable long time between reading Mr Imperfect and these last two in the trilogy, Mr Irresistible and Mr Unforgettable. […]

[…] Karina Bliss's The Lost Boys was the other one, but at least then I knew what happened. On this one, I simply have no […]

Investigation and medical management of trigeminal neuralgia by consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the British Isles
M. N. Pemberton, P. S. Dewi, I. Hindle, M. H. Thornhill
Trigeminal neuralgia is an extremely painful affliction of the face that is treated by various specialists including oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Some aspects of its management remain controversial, including screening for secondary trigeminal neuralgia, and the monitoring of treatment with carbamazepine. There is, however, little information available about current practice. A postal questionnaire was sent to 254 fellows of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) about various aspects of the management of trigeminal neuralgia. One hundred and seventy nine replies (70%) were received. Orofacial and cranial nerve examinations were undertaken by the majority of surgeons, but most did not routinely arrange computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging for all patients, nor did they refer the patient to a neurologist. In contrast with current recommendations, warnings about the adverse effects of carbamazepine were given by only a few surgeons, while most routinely monitored full blood counts. © 2001 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Крест Маннергейма — специальная награда финского Ордена Креста Свободы, появившаяся после Зимней войны 1939—1940 годов, названная в честь маршала Финляндии Карла Густава Маннергейма и вручавшаяся до весны 1945 года.

Крест имел два класса: крестом I класса награждались командующие армейскими соединениями уровня корпуса (всего имело место только два награждения таким крестом — самого Маннергейма и Эрика Хейнрикса, причём оба они были также награждены и крестом II класса), крестом II класса могли быть награждены любые военнослужащие, совершившие какой-либо выдающийся поступок (всего был награждён 191 человек, включая Маннергейма и Хейнрикса, из них четверо дважды). По старшинству среди всех наград Финляндии крест Маннергейма I класса был 5-й, II класса — 9-й наградой. Крест II класса считался самой почётной военной наградой Финляндии, а выплачиваемое вместе с награждением им денежное вознаграждение в размере 50 тысяч финских марок соответствовало (по состоянию на 1942 год) годовому окладу лейтенанта. Первым награждённым крестом II класса стал полковник (впоследствии генерал-майор) Рубен Лагус. Среди награжденных Крестом II класса — летчик Ауво Маунула.

Внешний вид награды был разработан Оскаром Пилем на основе Креста Свободы, созданного художником Аксели Галлен-Каллелой.

1 ноября 2020 года скончался последний из 191 кавалеров Креста Маннергейма —  (р. 28 мая 1922).

Small class sizes (5-15 for upper level courses) make interactions between students and professors quite easy. The professors take an interest in the progress of their students and are readily available for help with courses or advising. Students interested in mathematics may choose to major in mathematics, mathematics/physics, or economics/mathematics. Although the department does not directly support a major in Statistics, students interested in statistics should speak to a member of the department. If students are looking towards Engineering, we have a long standing tradition of excellent 3-2 programs; these are also described in the Whitman College Catalog.
Students majoring in mathematics have opportunities to work with faculty on research projects; some of these projects have resulted in presentations at professional meetings and/or the Whitman Undergraduate Conference and publication in mathematics journals. Examples of such projects include research on jet engines, Java programming for the game of Hex, curvature of plane curves, location modeling problems, a study of cubic reciprocity, and radial basis problems.
The department sponsors evening help sessions for calculus students, staffed by upper level mathematics students, and a mathematics club that provides a social-recreational mathematical opportunity for any interested student. In addition to weekly informal meetings and social activities, the club organizes a campus wide math contest. On occasion, outside speakers are invited to campus to give talks on subjects of current interest in mathematics. Senior mathematics majors are known by every member of the department and receive helpful advice concerning their future careers. Each spring, the department holds a banquet for all students majoring in mathematics, thus providing yet another opportunity for students and faculty to meet in a social setting.
Computing is an important aspect of a mathematics education and students are encouraged to become skilled in the use of computers. Students begin by taking introductory programming followed by several related courses, such as Engineering Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling. The department maintains its own cluster of GNU/Linux based PCs. During the evening hours, student consultants are available in the computer lab to help others with any problems that may arise. The consultants learn the basics of Unix system administration and are part of a healthy campus community of Linux users.
Mathematics majors and combined mathematics majors have many doors open to them as quantitative reasoning skills are in high demand. Our majors have gone into a number of different areas such as business, law, medicine, engineering, telecommunications, mathematics, teaching, actuarial science, and operations research. As far as graduate school is concerned, recent graduates have attended the University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, Carnegie Mellon, Yale, and Oregon State. Other students have gone to work for companies such as Microsoft, Deloitte Consulting, Active Voice Communication, and Safeco. The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has some short biographies of mathematics majors online, describing their post-graduation employment.
A student interested in majoring in mathematics is welcome to consult with any member of the Mathematics and Statistics Department.
