This is an example Node.js widget that uses the pre chat survey information to see if a lead exists in a database, and then displays that leads information. This widget uses the mongodb that is available from mongolab.

You can view a live example here:[Sample CRM Widget](https://rocky-garden-8809.herokuapp.com/helloworld)

## Background
This widget was built as a proof of concept in regards to how we could pull information from a CRM based on the pre chat survey information.

To create this widget, I decided to use the Heroku Nodejs project skeleton since they offer free hosting, and offered free hosting of the online database that is used to act as our CRM.

## Instructions
On your LiveEngage account, you will need to use the default pre-chat survey for when a visitor comes to chat. The widget will pull the visitor's name from the pre-chat survey, and then will query your user database to see if that name exists. If it does, it will then pull that customers information.

To use the widget, you will need to create a mongolab account, and update line 11 in the index.js file to use your mongolab credentials for your database. Once your account is setup, you will need to create a Collection that is called 'userlist'. You can find an example of what the record should look like here: [Sample Record](https://gist.github.com/scottwestover/bf50e85b20153570058b4ae5d913b680)

## Other Use Cases
This widget could be used as a starting point for connecting to other databases, or CRMS.

Stephanie Cristello
Stephanie Cristello (°1991, Toronto, Canada) is an artist who mainly works with painting. With a subtle minimalistic approach, Cristello seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life.
Her paintings sometimes radiate a cold and latent violence. At times, disconcerting beauty emerges. The inherent visual seductiveness, along with the conciseness of the exhibitions, further complicates the reception of their manifold layers of meaning. By emphasising aesthetics, she creates work through labour-intensive processes which can be seen explicitly as a personal exorcism ritual. They are inspired by a nineteenth-century tradition of works, in which an ideal of 'Fulfilled Absence' was seen as the pinnacle.
Her works are often classified as part of the new romantic movement because of the desire for the local in the unfolding globalized world. However, this reference is not intentional, as this kind of art is part of the collective memory. By referencing romanticism, grand-guignolesque black humour and symbolism, she creates work in which a fascination with the clarity of content and an uncompromising attitude towards conceptual and minimal art can be found. The work is aloof and systematic and a cool and neutral imagery is used.
Her practice provides a useful set of allegorical tools for manoeuvring with a pseudo-minimalist approach in the world of painting: these meticulously planned works resound and resonate with images culled from the fantastical realm of imagination. Stephanie Cristello currently lives and works in Chicago.

HOW CAN A CREDITOR COLLECT A DEBT?
If you are owed money you can take legal action to recover it.
Debts of up to $40,000.00 are recovered in the Local Court.
Debts of up to $750,000.00 can be recovered in the District Court. The Court can deal with cases where larger amounts are involved if the parties to the case agree. (The Court has unlimited jurisdiction in claims for damages for personal injuries arising out of a motor vehicle accident).
Debts exceeding $750,000.00 are usually dealt with in the Supreme Court.
To commence Court proceedings the party who is owed money (the creditor) files a Statement of Claim. This document sets out basic details of the debt and tells the debtor to pay the debt or to defend the matter within 28 days after service of the Statement of Claim. If the debtor does not file a defence and does not pay within that twenty-eight day period then Judgment will be entered against the debtor.
Once Judgment is entered it can be enforced. A number of procedures are available including-
Writs: A Court officer, the Sheriff, attends the debtor's premises, seizes goods and sells them. The proceeds of the sale go to the creditor.
Examination Summons: The debtor is required to attend the Court to answer questions about how he, she or it can satisfy the Judgment. The information is then used to assist other debt recovery processes.
Garnishee Orders: A Court can issue an Order addressed to an unrelated party who owes money to the debtor. The Order requires the money to be paid to the creditor instead of the debtor.
All of the above procedures are subject to various technical rules.
If ordinary debt recovery procedures don't work, or if the debtor is a company and owes more than $2,000.00, then the creditor can commence:-
Bankruptcy proceedings against an individual; or
Winding up proceedings against a company
WHAT ARE BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS?
Bankruptcy is a process where an independent Trustee takes control of the estate of an insolvent person, turns the assets into cash (with some exceptions) and distributes the proceeds equally among the unsecured creditors. "Unsecured creditors" are ordinary creditors who do not hold security, such as a mortgage, for payment of the debt due by the creditor. Secured creditors will usually look to the asset over which they have security such as a house, to obtain payment.
Because of the stigma associated with bankruptcy, and because of the adverse effect on a persons credit rating, many debtors do not wish to be declared bankrupt. Therefore commencing the bankruptcy process can be an effective way of obtaining payment if you are a creditor.
Bankruptcy proceedings are commenced in the Federal Court or the Federal Magistrates Court. The Court holds an enquiry into whether a person can pay their debts as they fall due. If they cannot, then the Court can declare them bankrupt and appoint a Trustee to take control of their estate.
Before a person who is declared bankrupt, the Court must be satisfied that the person has committed an "act of bankruptcy" no more than six months before the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings. The most common Hact of bankruptcy` is the failure to comply with a Bankruptcy Notice. This process works as follows:
the creditor obtains a Judgment in the Local, District, Supreme or Federal Court;
the creditor obtains a "Bankruptcy Notice" from the Insolvency and Trustee Service of Australia. This is a document which requires the debtor to pay the debt within twenty-one days of service of the document. If within that period the debtor does not dispute the validity of the Bankruptcy Notice or pay the Judgment Debt, then the debtor will have committed an "act of bankruptcy" and the law will presume them to be insolvent. This is what gives the Court the power to make them bankrupt.
Once an Act of Bankruptcy has been committed then the creditor commences bankruptcy proceedings by obtaining the issue of a Creditor's Petition by the Court.
Some weeks after the Creditor's Petition has been issued and served on the debtor, the Court then considers the evidence relating to the insolvency of the debtor (usually a failure to comply with the Bankruptcy Notice) and if the Court is satisfied that the debtor is insolvent, the Court will appoint a Trustee to take control of the debtor's estate.
It is the Trustee's job to turn the debtor's assets into cash and distribute the cash to unsecured creditors (after payment of the Trustee's fees and the legal costs of the creditor who made the debtor bankrupt).
WHAT ARE COMPANY WINDING UP PROCEEDINGS?
If a company is unable to pay its debts then the Court has the power to wind it up and appoint a Liquidator whose duty is to turn the assets into cash and distribute the cash in the order set out in the Corporations Act. The creditor who obtains the appointment of the Liquidator, and the Liquidator, take priority in relation to their costs as do certain employee entitlements. The balance is distributed equally between unsecured creditors.
The process of winding up a company is similar to the process of having a person declared bankrupt. The process usually occurs as follows:-
If a creditor is owed a debt or more than $2,000.00 (it does not have to be a Judgment Debt) it can serve a Creditor's Statutory Demand on the company requiring the company to pay the debt within twenty-one days. If the company fails to dispute the debt or pay the amount claimed within that period, then the law will presume the company to be insolvent.
The creditor then commences winding up proceedings before the Supreme or Federal Court by filing an Originating Process. If the Court is satisfied the debtor company is insolvent then a Liquidator will be appointed.
The service of a Creditor's Statutory Demand is not the only way in which a creditor obtains the right to commence winding up proceedings. However it is the process which is used most often.
A WORD OF WARNING
The above is only a basic summary of winding up and bankruptcy proceedings. The process can be very technical, particularly in relation to the validity of Bankruptcy Notices, Creditors Petitions, Creditors Statutory Demands and Originating Processes. If a creditor is unsuccessful in bankruptcy proceedings costs will usually be awarded against the creditor. It is wise to seek the assistance of a lawyer with a detailed knowledge of the procedures. At Craddock Murray Neumann we have the expertise to help you.
WHAT IS COMPANY ADMINISTRATION?
If the Directors of a Company believe that a Company is insolvent, but that it has a solid "core" business which will allow it to trade viably in the future, the Company can appoint an Administrator.
The Directors will put up a proposal that existing debts be extinguished by paying creditors a percentage of their claims in full discharge of all liabilities of the Company.
When a Company goes into administration the Company appoints an official Administrator who is an insolvency practitioner who is independent of the Company.
The Administrator calls a meeting of creditors.
At the meeting of creditors the Administrator informs the creditors whether they would be better off:
putting the Company into liquidation immediately;
or accepting the offer of the Directors.
If the creditors want to accept the offer of the Directors then the Company and the Directors will execute a Deed of Company Arrangement which will provide that the creditors take the payments (often made by the Directors) in full satisfaction of their claims against the Company.
Until the Deed of Company Arrangement is executed, the Administrator controls the Company.
Once the Deed of Company Arrangement has been executed the management of the Company returns to the Directors.
Craddock Murray Neumann can help you with issues which arise in relation to Company Administration. We can also put you in touch with expert Company Administrators who might be able to help you if your company is in difficulty.
WHAT IS A MAREVA INJUNCTION?
If: a creditor has a right to commence proceedings; and has evidence that the debtor is disposing of assets so as to prevent recovery of the Judgment Debt once it is obtained then the creditor can apply to the Court for a "Mareva" injunction to restrain the debtor from dealing with their assets.
Craddock Murray Neumann has had extensive experience in obtaining "Mareva" injunctions.
WHAT DUTIES TO COMPANY DIRECTORS HAVE?
Generally (with some exceptions) Directors owe their duties to the Company and not to the shareholders of a Company.
Directors have a duty of care and diligence to manage and conduct the business of the Company in the best interests of the Company. This means that Directors must::
set goals for the Corporation;
oversee the acquisition and organisation of financial and human resources towards the attainment of the goals of the Corporation; and
review at reasonable intervals the progress of the Corporation towards achieving its goals.
Directors can rely on the "Business Judgment Rule" to show that they have acted with proper care and diligence. In order to obtain the benefit of this Rule, a Director;
must make a judgment in good faith for a proper purpose;
must not have a material personal interest in the subject matter of the judgment;
must inform himself or herself about the subject matter of the judgment; and
must rationally believe that the judgment is in the best interest of the Corporation.
(Section 180(3) of the Corporations Act)
The Directors of a Company also have a duty of good faith. This requires the Directors;
to exercise their powers only for proper Corporate purposes:
to avoid actual or potential conflicts between their duties to the Company and their personal interests or duty to others;
to account to the Company for business opportunities which come to them by reason of or in the course of holding office as a Director.
This duty is sometimes referred to as a "fiduciary duty". This duty is now contained in Section 181 of the Corporations Act which requires a Director to discharge his or her duties In good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation and for a proper purpose".
The duty can be breached where:
a Director has an interest in a competing business;
the Director pockets the profit which should be the profit of the Company;
assets are transferred from the Company into the Director's own name;
the Director uses information gained in the course of acting as a Director for personal advantage or to cause detriment to the Corporation.
It is a criminal offence for a Director to use his or her position dishonestly with the intention of directly or indirectly gaining an advantage for himself or herself or causing detriment to the Corporation (Section 184 of the Corporations Act).
The Court can make Orders regulating how a Company is to conduct itself, or altering interests or the shareholders or winding the Company up, if a Company is being conducted so as to prejudice the interests of shareholders as a whole or is oppressive to or discriminatory against minority shareholders. (Section 232 and 233 of the Corporations Act).
If the Court makes a "Civil Penalty Order" in relation to a breach by a Director or his or her duties, the Court can make an Order disqualifying the Director from holding Directorships and can impose penalties of up to $200,000.00 with respect to the contravention. (Section 1317G of the Corporations Act).
If there has been a contravention the Court may also order a person to compensate the Corporation for damage suffered by the Corporation (Section 1317H).
ASIC can apply for a penalty to be imposed or a Compensation Order to be made. The Corporation can apply for a Compensation Order.
Section 588G imposes a duty on Directors to prevent a Company incurring a debt while it is insolvent.
There is a defence if at the time the debt is incurred the Director does not take part in management of the Company because of illness or for some other good reason, or because the Director believes on reasonable grounds that a competent and reliable person is monitoring the Company's solvency, or if the Director takes all reasonable steps to prevent the Company from incurring the debt.
Under Section 588M, if an unsecured creditor suffers loss because the debt was incurred, the Company's Liquidator can recover from the Director an amount equal to the loss. If the Liquidator does nothing to recover the loss, or the Liquidator agrees, then a creditor can sue the Director to recover the loss (Section 588R).
At Craddock Murray Neumann we can help you with issues relating to Directors' duties.

Monetary policy in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) has undergone an important transformation in recent decades. With the advent of sustained growth and generally stable fiscal policies in much of the region, many countries are now working to modernize their monetary policy frameworks. This book provides a comprehensive view of the many monetary policy issues in sub-Saharan Africa. It reflects an effort to fill a gap in the current literature and collects research by staff of the IMF and other institutions, as well as from policymakers within central banks in SSA. The chapters explore the many dimensions of monetary policy in SSA. This volume will serve as an important reference for academics and policymakers and will inform future policy debates. The book highlights two points, one policy-related and the other methodological. Although these countries differ in important ways from advanced and emerging market countries, the monetary policy issues they face are not fundamentally different from those faced elsewhere. Policy aims to provide an anchor for inflation over the medium term while also responding to external and domestic shocks. Likewise, Sub-Saharan African countries are in the process of modernizing their policy frameworks, by clarifying their objectives and improving their operational frameworks, making policy increasingly forward-looking and improving their forecasting and analytical capacity.

eLDee, Rita Dominic to host the Headies
Award winning actress Rita Dominic and celebrated artiste Eldee will host the 2011 edition of the Headies. In its continuing commitment to the promotion and development of urbane music Smooth Promotions, producers of the Headies awards announced on Monday that the two reputable performers have signed on to anchor this year's show.
In a news release early this week, executive producer Ayo Animashaun says Eldee and Rita Dominic – The veteran musician and respected actress are the ''perfect'' choice to host this year's show.
Ayo Animashaun who is the CEO of Smooth promotions said in a statement released on Monday ''I can exclusively tell you Rita Dominic and Eldee have signed on to host the Headies awards. We are energized by our choice of hosts and we are confident with both of them anchoring the show our audience will have fantastic moments and an amazing show. Be assured this duo brings the perfect mix of elegance and sophistication that will set the tone for an amazing show. Preparations are in top gear and we are once again presenting you with the biggest faces that you know to host the 6th edition of the Headies awards and it will be amazing'' said Ayo Animashaun who founded the awards in 2006.
According to organizers, Eldee was a natural selection as host given his pedigree has a long standing successful music artiste and producer, while his co-host for the big night Rita Dominic is one of Nigeria's biggest stars with a huge followership on the big and small screen.
Eldee, born Olanrewaju Dabiri is widely known by the moniker eLDee and is one of the earliest pioneers of hip hop music in Nigeria. He is a well respected artiste and music producer who released several chart topping songs and albums to much critical acclaim.
Rita Dominic exemplifies the perfect example of how a talented young girl can rise to become a household name in Nollywood with a long line of blockbuster movies to her credit. She starred in her first movie in 1998 and has since emerged as one of Nollywood's biggest exports.
Hailed for one-of-a-kind moments, elegant fashion displays, and five star musical performances, the Headies (also refered to as Hip Hop World Awards) has produced some of the most unforgettable moments in the history of award shows in Nigeria. The annual music event is ranked among the top award shows in Africa.
The selection of the siren and the celebrated musician as masters of ceremonies for the high-profile event can best be described as a ''plus'' for this year's edition which organizers have promised would be a wonderful experience for entertainment enthusiasts in Nigeria.
It's the second time a movie personality will be host after fellow Nollywood actress Dakore co-hosted alongside Basketmouth in 2008.
Eldee and Rita Dominic follow in the footsteps of names such as Darey in 2006, Dbanj and Tana who served as hosts in 2007, Dakore and Basketmouth in 2008, Banky W and Kemi Adetiba in 2009 all of whom have hosted the awards show in the past years.
The Headies (also known as Hip Hop World Awards) was created by Ayo Animashaun in 2006 as a platform to recognize and celebrate musical talents with the best, offering every calendar year with a total of twenty-two 21 carat gold award plaques to reward deserving artistes amid over 8,000 entries received every year.

We stand in solidarity with our Muslim siblings around the world after the horrendous white nationalist terrorist shooting in New Zealand on Friday afternoon.
We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community in New Zealand, with all our Kiwi friends and with all our Muslim sisters and brothers around the world in this time of mourning. The violence unleashed in Christchurch strikes at the heart of our faith commitments and our humanity. At this time, we recall the verse in the Qur'an that states, "Give glad tidings to the patient, to those who, when calamity strikes, Say: 'We belong to God, and to Him we shall return.' Upon them descend blessings from God and mercy." We pledge not only our prayers but our active support to the families of the victims and to their community in whatever way we can be of help.
This was not an isolated incident. We remember those killed at the Pittsburgh synagogue and at the Charleston African-American church attacks, like this one, driven by religious, racial, and ethnic hatred that is unacceptable in any community. We say "No!" not only to violence but to the hatred and bigotry that foster such violence. No one should fear for their safety at their house of worship. No one should fear violence, or hatred, or disrespect on account of their religious, racial, or ethnic identity.
These incidents do not happen in a vacuum. They are the fruit of attitudes of intolerance and prejudice that are deeply rooted in society, attitudes that have been fostered over the last several years by elected officials and other people of influence. In particular, we must call attention to, and speak out against, political efforts to exploit social division and sow fear. Policies like separating families through the Muslim travel ban, taking children from their families at the US border, or dehumanizing refugees all feed the hate that erupts into violence and into less visible but also deeply hurtful acts of dehumanization and bigotry. We need to call on our elected officials to commit themselves to oppose hate speech and hate violence in every form and to reject policies that spring from it and feed it.
At this moment of horror and grief, we must also call on our sisters and brothers in our religious communities and on all our fellow citizens to demonstrate acts of solidarity with our Muslim sisters and brothers, and we must pledge ourselves not only to speak out but also to educate about and foster encounters among the diverse people that make up our countries and our world, so that we may root out the seeds of hatred and xenophobia that give rise to such horrors as we have just experienced. May this event spur us on to ever greater efforts to promote human solidarity.
Please see and share these two statements from our partners at the Interfaith Peace Project, led by Father Thomas Bonacci and the San Francisco Interfaith Council, let by Rev. Michael Pappas.


EID participated in the 5th Indonesian Official Tri Service Defence Event - INDO DEFENCE 2012 Expo & Forum – which took place in Jakarta, from 7 to 10 November, exhibiting the full line of its defence communications products.
This important trade show hosted more than 500 exhibitors from 40 countries and 20 000 delegates and professional visitors.
During the event, EID signed a contract to supply ICCS systems to be installed on board 3 Indonesian Navy's new vessels, built by Pt. Palindo shipyards. This new order is a natural consequence of the good performance and reliability of similar systems EID already supplied to Indonesian ships (5 KCR-40 class patrol crafts).


Fake Problems are a Florida four-piece that haven't put out an album since 2010's Real Ghosts Caught on Tape. According to internet lore, the band recorded a follow-up with esteemed producer Ted Hutt but didn't feel right about the way the collection of songs turned out. It wasn't cohesive enough to be an album. Research taught me all that stuff, but listening to Antarcticgo Vespucci's new album Leavin La Vida Loca is what got me interested in Fake Problems in the first place. That impressive debut from Chris Farren's side-project duo with non-Fake Problems member Jeff Rosenstock got me hooked on Farren's songwriting, and subsequently interested in his hiatus-stranded Florida punk quartet.
Little did I know that hiatus would come to an end several days later, when we premiered a long lost Fake Problems track called "Holy Attitude." It's one of the best songs of the week, and it arrives backed with "Can You Live With That?" — a song that's almost its polar opposite. (This 7-inch is the first in an ongoing series of split releases called Strange Emotions.) "Holy Attitude" is meditative and spare, but "Can You Live With That?" is a sprawling, over-the-top bid at revved-engine surf-rock; there's a hint of rockabilly in the reeling guitar solos, a smidge of Brit-pop in the sing-a-long "whoaaas." It's basically the jagged, Florida punk version of "Wipe Out" that's a lyrical negative to a love-conquers-all anthem. And like everything else this dude is involved with, it's completely awesome. Listen.
Strange Emotions: Holy Attitude is out today. Get the 7-inch here.

    alert("Your connection speed is: \n" +
           speedBps + " bps\n"   +
           speedKbps + " kbps\n" +
           speedMbps + " Mbps\n" );
}

A: Just don't round the duration.
 var duration = (endTime - startTime) / 1000;

A: duration is probably coming out 0, and a positive number divided by zero yields the special value of positive infinity in JavaScript.

A: Just think about it: endTime and startTime are in [ms], so their difference is also in ms.
Example with an image loading for 300 ms:
Math.round((endTime - startTime) / 1000);
-> Math.round(300 / 1000);
-> Math.round(0.3);
-> 0

Leave Math.round out of the snippet.
And then as the others stated duration = 0 will lead to
speedBps = bitsLoaded / duration
-> speedBps = bitsLoaded / 0
-> speedBps = Infinity

But, please note that you can't get accurate results like this. There is latency, connection time, time to first byte, etc which cannot be measured by your example, and for an image < 1 MB they will lead to very inaccurate results.

A: because your duration is close to 0,
then you should try

var duration = (endTime - startTime)/1000;

"Burgundy and the Blue Ridge Mountains" is the first film in a new series to tell the story of the U.S. Army's training in Appalachia
This summer, a new film will tell the stories of the soldiers who worked in the grueling Appalachian Mountains for the first time, as well as the veterans who survived the brutal climate.
The film, "Buck Rogers: The First Cavalry," will tell one of the most famous stories of WWII in a way that is fresh and relatable, and that also honors the people who died for the United States in World War II.
The first installment of the series will debut at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday.
For many in Appalachias history, the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division who came into battle on June 7, 1944, were the first men to enter a battlefield where they would be expected to fight with everything they had.
As the fighting continued in the hills, the 82d became known as the "Blue Ridge Mountain Rangers," and their unit became the most feared of all American divisions in World Wars I and II.
But even as the fighting was still underway, it became clear that the Ranger corps had a lot more work ahead of them.
The men in the 82s first unit, the 9th Cavalry Regiment, had only been in the United Kingdom for three weeks by the time they were sent to the battlefield in France.
Their mission was to help hold off a wave of enemy attackers.
The task was especially difficult for the men who were from a relatively rural and isolated part of the country.
When they arrived in France in late June 1944, the terrain in the mountains was rough and the terrain was steep.
They would have to navigate the terrain to get to the front lines, as it was so difficult to climb down to the ground in those days.
The regiment was also badly burned, and many of the men suffered from a severe burn on their feet.
They had to fight through a night where the heat and cold were so severe that the men would often freeze to death.
But despite the conditions and the hardships, the men came out of it with tremendous courage.
Buck had the good fortune of having two older brothers in the unit, one of whom was a lieutenant.
As a child, he loved the outdoors and would often go hiking and camping.
When he grew up, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he went on to become a federal prosecutor.
When the war ended in 1945, he worked in a federal law firm and spent the rest of his life as a public defender.
As he was preparing for the war, Buck was approached by a man who wanted to join the Army.
The man had served in the Army in World and Civil War, but he had no idea what the Ranger program was about.
Buck was intrigued by the prospect of serving as a Ranger, and he wanted to see what it was like to be a part of a regiment.
He was able to get into the program, and after a few weeks he was promoted to a platoon leader.
The next step was to move to the Ranger school.
During that first summer, Buck's battalion was assigned to Camp Rockingham, North Carolina, the largest unit of the unit.
The school was located in a beautiful, wooded area with plenty of shade and was in the middle of a forest.
Buck and his battalion of soldiers spent the summer camping in the woods, and it was during this time that Buck was able get his first taste of combat.
The Ranger school, a unique and challenging training environment for young men, included physical training and a course in riflemanship.
The Ranger school also included a course on explosives and guerrilla warfare.
During this time, Buck would meet his future wife, Nancy, who was the daughter of a member of the Army who was killed in combat.
The two spent a lot of time together, and Nancy would later describe Buck as "the nicest, sweetest man I've ever known."
Bucky and Nancy were married in early 1945, and when the war was over in 1945 they decided to move into a cabin near their home in New Hampshire.
After a few years, Buck and Nancy had a baby daughter, who would later become known as Betty.
After the war came to an end, Buck moved back to the mountains and started his first career as a plumber.
In 1947, Buck left his job as a truck driver to join a platoon.
At that time, the U-2 spy plane was being developed and was designed to be used by a small number of people in remote areas.
Buck joined the platoon and became an integral part of its intelligence gathering mission.
Throughout his career, Buck had a great interest in history and in the Ranger Corps.
When Buck returned to the military in 1948, he received a promotion to lieutenant general.
After the war in 1949, Buck returned home to his family and joined the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, or UDCC

The easiest way to restore a Windows computer back to its factory defaults is to simply use the included recovery program to reinstall or recover Windows. This works well in many situations, and you can use this method to completely wipe your computer clean and start from new.
But what if you don't want to wipe your computer clean? If this is the case, you'll need to use a few specific utilities if you'd like to clean up your computer to return it to a near-new state. This method isn't always quicker than reinstalling Windows, but it's often preferable if you don't want to worry about losing files or you don't have a Windows install disc handy. Let's take a look at what you'll need to finish the job.
Recent versions of Windows, including Windows Vista and 7, include a Backup and Restore feature in the control panel. This feature lets you restore your computer to a previous state by using the Open System Restore option, which begins a simple process that basically rewinds your computer to an earlier state.
This is easy, but there is one critical issue – you actually need a restore point to restore from! It's not uncommon for a computer to ship with one already configured, but if you or the manufacturer didn't already do this, you'll have to use the steps below.
The gradual accumulation of software on a computer often results in reduced performance, and uninstalling the programs that did not come with your PC often improve performance – or at least free up some hard drive space. Starting with the uninstallation of unwanted programs is recommended.
Most programs can be uninstalled using the Programs and Features tool in the Windows control panel, but some may be stubborn and refuse to uninstall correctly. I suggest using Revo Uninstaller Revo Uninstaller Will Hunt Down Your Bloatware Revo Uninstaller Will Hunt Down Your Bloatware Read More , or a similar program, to take care of programs that refuse to leave quietly.
Once you uninstall a program, it's gone, right? Actually, that's not always the case. Windows includes a database known as the registry that includes information about programs installed, and while uninstalling a program is theoretically meant to remove the program's registry entries, that doesn't always happen. A bloated registry can sometimes reduce performance, so it's a good idea to try and make it like new.
There are a lot of registry cleaning tools Top 5 Freeware Registry Cleaners That Improve PC Performance Top 5 Freeware Registry Cleaners That Improve PC Performance Cleaning the registry will rarely improve Windows performance and it's risky. Yet many swear by registry cleaners. You too? At least use one of these tools because they're the safest you will find. Read More , but Wise Registry Cleaner is the option that receives our top recommendation. Whatever tool you use, remember to create a Windows backup (remember the Backup and Restore feature) because there is always a very, very slight risk of registry damage, which can cripple your computer.
Even after you have uninstalled unwanted programs, you may still have some issues with slow boot times if you have too many programs trying to run when your computer starts.
To disable some programs, go to the Windows Search bar and then type in "msconfig How To Troubleshoot Your Windows With The MSconfig Utility How To Troubleshoot Your Windows With The MSconfig Utility The System Configuration Utility (or MSconfig.exe) is used to manage the processes that happen when the Windows operating system boots up. Read More ." Navigate to the Startup tab and review the programs listed. These are the programs that load when your computer boots. You can disable specific programs by de-selecting their checkbox and then clicking OK.
If you find that you've disabled a program that is truly useful, you can always return to msconfig and enable the program again.
Over time, you may make changes to a number of critical Windows features. It is difficult to cover every single feature in Windows that can be restored to default settings, but here are some that are commonly changed and easily restored. Note that the below instructions are for computers using Windows 7.
If you're using Internet Explorer, you can use the Internet Options menu in the Windows Control Panel. There are Default buttons in the Security, Privacy, Programs and Advanced tabs. Google Chrome and Firefox have similar buttons in their respective Options menus.
The Windows Firewall options can be found in the Windows Control Panel. There is a Restore Firewall Defaults option on the left hand options menu. Note that you may not want to restore this to default if you've made specific changes to the firewall's rules.
The Folders Options window can be accessed from the Windows Control Panel. The Restore Defaults option is in the lower right hand corner.
Right-click on Libraries icon and then click Restore Default Libraries. You can find the Libraries icon in the left-hand frame of Windows Explorer.
Most media players have an option that will let you dismantle your current media library and rebuild it from scratch. This isn't a bad idea if your media files have turned into a mess.
The Start Menu can be returned to its default settings by right-clicking on Start (or the Start Icon), entering the Properties window, and then clicking the Customize button. The Use Default Settings button will appear at the bottom of the Customize Start Menu window.
Right-click the Taskbar, then click on Properties. Strangely, there is no default button. The default settings are as follows; all options under Taskbar Appearance unchecked, Taskbar location set to Bottom, Taskbar buttons set to Always combine, hide labels.
The Devices and Printers section of the Windows Control Panel is the place to go if you need to remove peripheral hardware that is no longer in use. This usually doesn't have an impact on performance, but has other benefits – for example, removing several old printers can making printing more intuitive.
Following these steps should restore your computer to a near-new state. This is not as complete as reinstalling Windows, and this process is not recommended if you're trying to restore your computer after a malware attack. If you're simply trying to speed up your computer, reduce clutter, or wipe it clean for a new user, the steps above should prove sufficient.
Explore more about: Restore Data, System Restore, Tech Support, Windows Registry.
Take a back up of your document.
Take inventory of all the installation or set up disks you have on hand.
Download a free utility program as ninjatuneup.com/ Ninja TuneUP.
Reinstall any software programs, virus protection, and personal documents as desired to finish the project.
Follow these steps and you can easily clean your computer back to its original state .
That is a lot of work for our firm of accountants when you could just simply re-install windows.
Argh! So much. I'm still learning computers so I'll be getting someone to do it for me. But atleast I'll be able to appreciate what the computer repair guy doing and where my money is going.
What specifically are you intending to fix with your suggestion?
I am dealing with trying to restore Windows Media 10 that Gates removed without notice plus he installed Media Player 11 that I always rejected, causing a massive loss of music files?
Nope, I don't this this will restore the deleted driver unless the driver comes with bare bones Windows installation by default.
I use Acronis Backup & Recovery.
It is an easy and reliable solution giving you the system just as it was after installation.
All you need is to make a backup of your system disk (usually C:) when you are sure that everything is working OK.
And keep ALL your data on a different disk(s)/partition(s).
As Acronis has its independent linux based recovery tool accessible before windows start, you can restore the system even after the seriows windows crash or in case of severe virus attack.
As for my comp it takes about 20 minutes to get clean system with all the soft installed and working.
Will this reinstall a driver that I am not even sure how it got deleted? My cd/dvd rom was deleted and of course my comp didn't come with a restore hard disk and I have tried going to previous restore dates and it hasn't helped. The HP site has a lot of downloads but I'm not sure which I need. Thanks for any help!
I would say creating another user account and removing the original (backing up document and desktop files)remove unwanted programs, that worked for me.
I would Highly recommend that you use "services.msc" and Not "msconfig" when dealing with your start up programs.
The 'safest' reg. cleaner (and I don't believe that you need one) is CCleaners in my opinion.
I think this is right on! I do things similar to this for many friends. Thanks for the tips.
With all those steps, I'd rather re-install Windows.

Philippine Basketball Association | Wikipedia audio article
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)
is a men's professional basketball league in the Philippines composed of twelve company-branded
franchised teams. It is the first professional basketball league
in Asia and is the second oldest continuously existing in the world after the NBA. The league's regulations are a hybrid of rules
from the NBA and FIBA. The league played its first game at the Araneta
Coliseum in Quezon City on April 9, 1975. Its main offices are located along Eulogio
Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5 road), Eastwood City, Bagumbayan, Quezon City.==History==The Philippine Basketball Association was
founded when nine teams left the now-defunct Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic
Association (MICAA), which was tightly controlled by the Basketball Association of the Philippines
(BAP), the FIBA-recognized national association at the time. With the BAP controlling the MICAA, the league
was de jure amateur, as players were only paid allowances. This is much like what was done in other countries
to circumvent the amateur requirement and to play in FIBA-sanctioned tournaments such
as the Olympics. MICAA team owners were not pleased with how
BAP, then led by Gonzalo "Lito" Puyat are taking away their players to join the national
team without consulting them first. The teams that bolted away from the MICAA
are the Carrier Weathermakers, Crispa Redmanizers, Mariwasa-Noritake Porcelainmakers, Presto
Ice Cream, Royal Tru-Orange, Seven-Up Uncolas, Tanduay Distillery, Toyota Comets and the
U/Tex Weavers. Leopoldo Prieto, the coach for the Philippines
at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, was appointed as the first commissioner and Emerson Coseteng
of Mariwasa-Noritake was chosen as the first president of the league's Board of Governors. The first game of the league was held at the
Araneta Coliseum on April 9, 1975, featuring Mariwasa-Noritake and Concepcion Carrier. The league's first 10 years was known for
the intense rivalry of the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws, still considered
as one of the greatest rivalries in league history. Big names such as Robert Jaworski, Ramon Fernandez,
Francis Arnaiz, Atoy Co, Bogs Adornado and Philip Cezar played for those squads before
the two teams disbanded in 1983 and 1984 respectively. Following their disbandment, the league moved
from the Araneta Coliseum to ULTRA in Pasig. There, the league continued to be popular,
as several former Toyota and Crispa players suited up for different teams. During the mid to late 80s, Jaworski and Ginebra
San Miguel became the league's most popular squad for their "never say die" attitude. The team had intense rivalries with the Tanduay
Rhum Masters, which was led by Jaworski's ex-Toyota teammate-turned-rival Fernandez,
and later the expansion Purefoods Corporation and younger players Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry
Codiñera, Jojo Lastimosa and Fernandez (who moved from Tanduay). By the end of the 1980s, San Miguel Beer won
numerous championships that included the 1989 Grand Slam, led by coach Norman Black and
former national team stars Samboy Lim and Hector Calma. In 1989, FIBA voted to allow professionals
to play in their sanctioned tournaments, hence the PBA's players are now able to represent
the country internationally. In 1990, the league sent its first all-professional
squad to the Asian Games, earning a silver medal. The PBA would later send three more all-pro
squads to the event. The early 1990s saw Ginebra and Shell forming
an intense rivalry that included Ginebra's walkout in 1990 finals against Shell and the
team's dramatic comeback from a 3-1 deficit to beat Shell in the 1991 First Conference. Patrimonio, Allan Caidic, and a host of others
became the league's main attraction. By 1993, the league moved to the Cuneta Astrodome
in Pasay and later saw the Alaska Milkmen win the 1996 grand slam and nine titles in
the decade. From 1999-2000, the PBA endured controversy. Several expatriate cagers arrived on the scene
(such as Asi Taulava, Danny Seigle and Eric Menk). Their lineage was questionable and most of
them were deported for falsifying documents. The arrival of dozens of these players was
a counter to the fledging Metropolitan Basketball Association, a regional-based professional
league formed in 1998. After ABS-CBN's 2001 abandonment, the MBA
faced mounting expenses and would fold within a year. Despite the MBA's disbandment and the arrival
of those players to the PBA, attendance went sour for the PBA in 2002 and was even worse
the following year. In 2004, the league introduced drastic scheduling
changes, when it decided to begin the season in October instead of January. The change in starting the season allowed
the league to accommodate international tournaments held from June to September and it fit better
with college hoops, the NCAA and the UAAP, whose seasons run from June to October. The league also reduced the number of conferences
from three to two, renaming the All-Filipino Cup as the Philippine Cup and introducing
a new import laden tournament named as the Fiesta Conference. To accommodate these changes, a transitional
tournament, the 2004 PBA Fiesta Conference was held from February to July, which was
won by the Barangay Ginebra Kings. The league also began to hold the annual All-Star
weekend in the provinces, alternating from Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao provinces every
year. The league regained some popularity by this
year, thanks in large part to Barangay Ginebra's three PBA championships led by Eric Menk,
Jayjay Helterbrand and Mark Caguioa. Solid marketing and arrival of collegiate
stars from the UAAP and the NCAA also worked in the PBA's favor. By 2005, the league would take on the role
of Philippine national representation under Chot Reyes, when FIBA lifted the suspension
of the country following the formation of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas despite
a ninth-place finish in the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship. In 2009, however, the all-amateur Smart Gilas
team became the country's official representative in international competitions. The PBA's role in forming a national team
was thus reduced to sending up reinforcements to beef up the national squad. After the appointment of Chito Salud, son
of former commissioner Rudy Salud as the commissioner of the PBA, the league returned the three-conference
format starting in the 2010-11 season. This also ushered the return of the previously
retired conferences, the Commissioner's and Governors' cups. The beginning of 2010's also saw the dominance
of the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, who nearly got the Grand Slam in the 2010–11 season
and won the Philippine Cup in three consecutive years (2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13) enabling
them to permanently keep possession of the Jun Bernardino Trophy, the trophy given to
the Philippine Cup champions. On May 19, 2013, the third game of the PBA
Commissioner's Cup Finals between the Alaska Aces and the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel set
the all-time basketball attendance record of 23,436 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, which
broke the previous record of 23,108 set 11 days earlier that featured the semifinals
series doubleheader between Alaska vs. San Mig Coffee and Barangay Ginebra vs. Talk 'N
Text. This record was eventually broken on February
12, 2014, when the seventh game of the 2013-14 PBA Philippine Cup Semifinals series between
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and San Mig Super Coffee Mixers set the all-time basketball
attendance record of 24,883.The 2013–14 season became historic as the San Mig Super
Coffee Mixers became the fourth team to win the Grand Slam. Tim Cone, the coach of the Coffee Mixers also
made history when he became the first coach to win two Grand Slams. For the 2014–15 season, the league expanded
to twelve teams, after accepting two new franchises: Kia Sorento and Blackwater Elite. The league held its opening ceremonies at
the Philippine Arena and set an all-time Philippine basketball attendance record of 52,612.On
February 15, 2015, in the middle of the 2014–15 PBA season, commissioner Chito Salud announced
that he will step down as the league's commissioner and was succeeded by Chito Narvasa starting
the 2015–16 PBA season. Salud was then appointed as the President
and CEO of the league, when the board of governors decided to restructure the league and create
the President/CEO position to manage the league's marketing, expansion and business-related
matters. The Commissioner (who will also be the league's
Chief Operating Officer) will handle game-related matters. Salud, however, also stepped down as the league's
President and CEO on December 31, 2015 and was replaced by incumbent PBA chairman Robert
Non. The board of governors later appointed Chito
Narvasa as the President and CEO. The said position was eventually dissolved
before the start of the 2016 Governors' Cup. Amid controversies during his term, Narvasa
stepped down on December 31, 2017. The board appointed Media Bureau chief Willie
Marcial as his replacement on January 25, 2018.==Season format==
Unlike other leagues, there is no "season champion" of the PBA. Instead, the season is divided into conferences
or tournaments (not to be confused with the definition of a "conference" in a sporting
context as a grouping of teams based on geography or historical affiliation), wherein the teams
compete for a conference cup. The winners of the conference cups do not
face each other at the end of the season to determine the season; instead all conference
champions are league champions, with the Philippine Cup being the most prestigious conference
of the season.A season is usually composed of three conferences. Since the 2010–11 season, the conferences
were named Philippine, Commissioner's and Governors' Cups, usually ending in a best-of-seven
series where the winner took the conference cup. If the same team won all of the conferences,
the team was said to be the "Grand Slam" champion. A draft is held after the season-ending Governors'
Cup. An opening ceremony is held before the start
of the first game of the season.==Teams==
All franchises are owned by corporations. They are not based on geographic locale, so
they do not play in a "home arena". A team's name is often divided into two parts;
the first is the company or brand name, then the product or a moniker – usually connected
to the business of the company. For example, the Kia Picanto (now Columbian
Dyip) is a team owned by Columbian Autocar Corporation, the exclusive distributor of
Kia automobiles in the Philippines. The "Picanto" moniker is the name of one of
their cars.===Current teams======Notes===(♯) – Denotes a San Miguel Corporation subsidiary. (°) – Denotes an MVP group subsidiary.===Team popularity===
Barangay Ginebra owns the distinction of being the most popular team in the league. Its popularity can be traced to the recruitment
of the backcourt tandem of Robert Jaworski and Francis Arnaiz, both former Toyota players. Fans of Toyota followed the two stalwarts
to Ginebra after the Toyota team disbanded in 1983.In 2008, however, a survey showed
that Purefoods shares the honor of the league's most popular ballclub with Ginebra. It appeared that Ginebra was the most popular
team among men, while Purefoods was the most popular among women. Also, Ginebra was more popular in Metro Manila
and Luzon and in classes ABC, while Purefoods was more popular in Visayas and Mindanao and
in class D. The two teams were tied for most supporters in class E. In terms of percentage
of supporters, the survey showed that, after Ginebra and Purefoods (which both got 31%),
are Magnolia (21%), Alaska (13%), Sta. Lucia (5%), Red Bull (4%), Talk N' Text (3%),
Coca-Cola (1%), and Air 21 (1%).Notably, the top three teams that have the most supporters
have also been considered as the most talent-laden teams. They also fall under the San Miguel Corporation
umbrella. With these three teams acquiring players through
allegedly lopsided trades and performing strong in the past several seasons, the PBA has been
considered by some as an "SMC league".===Defunct and guest teams===The most prominent defunct teams were the
Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Super Corollas. Among guest teams, most notable was the American
Nicholas Stoodley team that won the 1980 Invitational Conference.==Rules==
The PBA has a hybrid of FIBA and NBA rules: A game consists of four 12-minute quarters,
the NBA standard. The three-point line's distance is set back
to 6.75 m (22.1 feet), which is the FIBA's three-point distance for international competitions. Zone defenses are allowed. A team enters the penalty situation after
the fifth foul in a quarter, with each successive foul entitling the fouled player to two free-throw
attempts. In the last two minutes of regulation, teams
are only allowed one foul to give, as in NBA rules. Overtime periods allow each team two fouls
in the first three minutes and one foul in the last two minutes, as in NBA rules. Newcomers enter the league via a draft and
required to play in the D-League for a certain number of tournaments before being eligible
to be drafted. Non-Filipinos can play as "imports" and only
in certain conferences, the Commissioner's Cup and the Governors' Cup. The Commissioner's Cup allows teams to hire
imports no taller than 6'10". In the Governors' Cup, imports within the
height limit of 6'5″ are allowed to play. The league implements the Trent Tucker Rule. An advantage foul, similar to the "unsportsmanlike
foul" of FIBA rules, is called when the offensive player is fouled by an opposing player while
in a fastbreak situation without going for the ball. The offense is given two free throws and regains
the ball.==Key figures==The league is currently headed by a Commissioner,
and the Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors. The Commissioner handles the marketing and
administration aspects as well as the technical, game related concerns of the PBA and its developmental
league. The Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors
is elected, together with the Vice Chairman and Board Treasurer before the start of the
season among each of the league's representatives to the board. By tradition, the incumbent Vice Chairman
and Treasurer will assume the Chairmanship and the Vice-Chairmanship respectively the
following season.===Commissioners======Board of Governors Presidents and Chairmen
=====PBA records and clubs==
There are all-time records written in Philippine Basketball Association records, as well as
distinctions like the PBA career scoring leaders, PBA 2,000 Assists Club, PBA 500 Three-Point
Club, PBA 600 Most Game Club, and PBA Top 40 Rebounder.==Rivalries==
The most famous matchup was the Crispa-Toyota rivalry of the 1970s. Fans faithfully supported their favorite squads
and appeared in the multitudes at the Araneta Coliseum, or wherever the archrivals had met. In those days, the players were very passionate. On one occasion, they engaged in a major brawl,
leading to the arrest and detention of several players from both clubs at Fort Bonifacio.The
most heated rivalry in the PBA today is that of two teams representing the Ginebra franchise
and the Purefoods franchise. The rivalry is now commonly known as the Manila
Clasico. It traces its roots on the original Añejo–Purefoods
rivalry of the late 1980s to early 1990s.Other short-lived or less intense rivalries include: Tanduay vs Ginebra (1986–1987 rivalry)
Ginebra–Shell rivalry (1990s rivalry) Purefoods–Swift rivalry (1990s corporate
rivalry) Añejo/Ginebra vs San Miguel (late-1980s to
present rivalry) Ginebra/Gordon's Gin vs Alaska (late-1980s
to present rivalry) Red Bull vs. the San Miguel franchises (Barangay
Ginebra, San Miguel and Purefoods, 2000–2007) Talk 'N Text vs. San Miguel/Petron (2010–2011)
Purefoods/San Mig Coffee/B-Meg vs. Rain or Shine (2009–present, "New Age Rivalry or

Q: Can't see visited username as link in protected question I encountered a strange bug where  was being used instead of . While viewing Could we please be a bit nicer to new users? which was linked in a new question recently posted, I noticed that I could not click on one of the names. Upon inspection of the html, I came across this:
Kyralessa

I thought it was odd, and maybe that the user was deleted. However, I then noticed that all users which I had previously visited their profile had this same structure. Such as:
Rob Cooper

When inspecting users which I had not visited, the correct markup was shown.
Brad Gilbert

I am not sure what causes this, and I do not see it on StackOverflow nor in normal Meta posts.
I cannot see names as links, for users who I have viewed their profile, in protected meta posts and/or community wiki posts.
I found this one as well which exhibited the same issue: Why aren't people voting for questions?

A: You see that because it was migrated from Stackoverflow and when a question gets migrated to another site, if users don't have an account there, they will get only Name (from the site they were migrated) as credit and not full link to their "new" profile.
If you make, afterwards, your account on new site you will get credited for answers, but not for comments. Comments will be link-less.
If you have your account created on migrated site you will get full link to your profile/their profile.
They don't get their accounts auto created on new site.
So in short: This is the expected behavior, it's not a bug, it's a feature that questions can be migrated within network and users get some credit for their activity.
To get the users profile you have to gain 10k reputation on Stackoverflow, go to Meta question and click the migrated site:
