Here's what people have asked and answered about working for and interviewing at JC Resorts.
The best questions are directly relevant to JC Resorts.
The personal insults and threats from management. Worrying about a manager's tantrums affects my home life. My whole week can be ruined from the degrading hissy fits from a manager. HR is frequently involved, but protection is only offered for people not under the purview of the manager in question. There's a take it or leave it attitude from the top down. Snitches get stitches. I have seen retaliation to current and former employees for telling the truth.
I received my first interview there because of my brother who currently works there.
Because I have been with the company for some time I get 20 days per year. Employees with less tenure receive a minimum of 5.
What could i be bring to the job that would be a asset?
would i be available to be on call.

Senator Joe Lieberman, Congressman Jerry Lewis Reject Republic Report's Backdoor Bribery Campaign
posted at 2:00 pm by Lee Fang
Republic Report investigates political corruption of all types, and we've become increasingly concerned about retiring lawmakers. A study we produced earlier this month found that, out of the members of Congress who have become lobbyists and disclosed their salary, lawmakers moving through the revolving door can expect a 1,400% raise on average. The multimillion-dollar salaries are made possible in part by corrupt laws — pork barrel spending, lucrative government contracts — supported by members before they leave office. The evidence suggests retiring lawmakers begin selling public policy in exchange for K Street paydays. "Being a Congressman is like being an intern for lobbying," noted one astute commenter.
In response to this phenomenon, which we are calling "Backdoor Bribery," Republic Report sent a letter to all 36 retiring members of Congress asking simply that they disclose any job negotiations on the front page of their congressional website.
We can report two new responses:
— Senator Joe Lieberman's (I-CT) press secretary told us: "In response to the request of publishing the Senator's future plan on our website; we have no plans to do so at the moment, as the Senator is not yet in negotiations for his next career move. He has however, stated publicly on numerous occasions that he will not enter into the lobbying industry."
— Congressman Jerry Lewis' (R-CA) spokesperson responded with a defiant tone: "At this point he's really not discussing that…. He is not publicly discussing that." Notably, Lewis's aides have publicly advertised that their boss is seeking a job on K Street. Lewis remains a powerful player on the House Appropriations Committee, a seat that gives him wide leverage to distribute pork to special interests.

Effects of weak mobile phone - electromagnetic fields (GSM, UMTS) on event related potentials and cognitive functions. med./bio.
By: Kleinlogel H, Dierks T, Koenig T, Lehmann H, Minder A, Berz R
Published in: Bioelectromagnetics 2008; 29 (6): 488-497
doi:10.1002/bem.20418
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of both types presented mobile phone electromagnetic fields, 1950 MHz UMTS and pulsed 900 MHz GSM, on event related potentials and cognitive function in human.
15 healthy, right handed, male subjects (aged between 20-35 years) participated. Each subject performed five sessions at 1-week intervals, each at the same day and the same time.
The maximal spatial peak specific absorption rate did not exceed one half of the value of 2 W/kg proposed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) as the limit for localized exposure.
cognitive/behavioral endpoints: effects on event related potentials and cognitive function
digital mobile phone
Exposure 1: 0.9 GHz
Modulation type: pulsed
Exposure duration: continuous for about 30 min
SAR: 1 W/kg maximum (10 g) (spatial peak in the head)
SAR: 0.1 W/kg maximum (10 g) (spatial peak in the head)
Each subject performed one training and four exposure sessions at 1-week intervals, each at the same day and time. Computer controlled EMF or sham exposure was applied in a double-blind randomized crossover design.
continuous for about 30 min
pulsed
GMSK (Gaussian minimum shift keying) signal modulated with pulses of 2, 8, and 217 Hz
small broadband antenna
The recording area was shielded with EMF radiation absorbers, separated by a curtain, dimly lit, and supplied with fresh air. After fixation of the electrodes on the scalp, subjects were seated on a comfortable chair in front of a table with a chin support at a distance of 70 cm to a screen.
Subjects were exposed by a small broadband antenna placed like a mobile phone directly over the left ear.
The RF or sham exposure period was preceded by 4 min and followed by 6 min of recording under sham exposure.
SAR 1 W/kg maximum - 10 g spatial peak in the head
The experimental room provided effective shielding from environmental electromagnetic fields. The background EMF from 5 Hz to 30 kHz was lower than 50 nT and from 30 kHz to 3 GHz less than 1.6 mV/m.
Measurement and calculation details
EMF exposure and dosimetry were described in detail in the same issue of Bioelectromagnetics [Kleinlogel et al., submitted]. SAR values did not exceed one half of the limit proposed by ICNIRP for localized exposure [ICNIRP, 1998]. Therefore, no critical increase of temperature was reached.

Here's why a chiropractic career can be the most rewarding in health care
by Andrew Champagne
f you've decided to pursue a career in health care, it's clear that you value helping people achieve their best possible state of well-being. With so many options in the health care field, it can be tough to figure out which path is right for you.
For more than 40 years, Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area has been instilling a set of values into students based upon chiropractic champion Dr. Sid Williams' concept of Lasting Purpose. At Life West, future chiropractors are taught to give, do, love and serve out of one's own abundance, reflecting the principles of Lasting Purpose every day.
Come and explore chiropractic at a Life West Career Night.
Chiropractors provide care to patients by correcting misalignments in the spine, or vertebral subluxations, which cause interference in the body's nervous system. Once subluxations are removed, a body is better able to operate at its optimal potential and natural healing can take place.
"Chiropractors fine-tune the body's nervous system like a musical instrument," said chiropractor and Life West recruiter David Scheiner, DC. "This allows for a full life and maximum expression."
The ability to improve a patient's quality of life with a single adjustment, let alone regular adjustments, is part of what makes chiropractic such a fascinating career. Many chiropractors attest to seeing immediate gains first-hand.
"I lived in a chiropractic office," Life West Director of Alumni Relations Palmer Peet, DC, said. "Half the building was their office, and the other half was our home. Even as a kid, I would see people come into the office not well, and then I'd see them leave much healthier."
Primed for growth
Life West travels to India several times a year to provide care at clinics.
Chiropractors of the future are entering a landscape where they will fill needs in communities around the world. In North America, the number of people seeking chiropractic care is on the rise, and with that trend set to continue in the years ahead, patients will need practice-ready chiropractors to provide care.
Additionally, there are parts of the world where men, women and children do not have access to chiropractic care, but the interest in a natural approach to health care is evident. At Life West, students and faculty members may sign up for several service trips each year to countries such as India and Tonga, where they encounter sometimes thousands of patients in just one trip. Many of these cases may not be typical of what the students would see in their own environment. The chance to stretch their abilities while providing care is a valuable opportunity to grow while caring for under-served populations.
Chiropractors are also in a unique position to thrive financially. Given the unprecedented flow of patients, the chiropractic market size is expected to approach $18 billion by the year 2025. But that's not the only reason why a chiropractic office can thrive.
"In practice, we have low overhead," Dr. Peet said. "Many chiropractors take care of high volumes of patients. Financially, it can be quite rewarding to be a doctor of chiropractic."
Bringing chiropractic to communities that have not had access to this type of natural health care also fills a need and allows our graduates to stand out.
So why is chiropractic one of the most rewarding in health care?
• A chance to help people feel better
• Opportunities to serve those who may not have access to natural health care
• A lucrative career option
• A field that is positioned to grow
If a career in chiropractic sounds appealing to you, come to a Life West Career Night. Career Nights offer opportunities to learn about chiropractic from local professionals and meet Life West admissions representatives who can tell you more about the doors a Life West education can open.
For more information, visit the Career Nights website or email the Life West admissions department at admissions@lifewest.edu.

Before I like to build the webservers, I like to take some time to build a GlusterFS client and Samba server. This machine is optional but it is a great practise creating a simple glusterfs and show a lot about the client. It's also fun to test your nodes with.
For some strange reason using the command 'mount -t glusterfs 192.168.1.221:/slitaz-volume /mnt/glusterfs' doesn't works. Also adding the mount point to /etc/fstab seems not to function at all.
When we reboot we should find our glusterfs file system mounted.
samba comes with a preloaded config file but I prefer to use mine, just replace all.
Last step is adding it to the deamons to start.

These training packages ensures that staff (other than floor wardens) have a clear understanding of their responsibilities and actions expected of them in an event of an emergency which affects their building and its occupants. Training can vary from one to three hours duration depending on the needs of your organisation.
This is one effective way of developing a 'we' culture of safety within the organisation. A good way to develop interest amongst staff for taking up roles in response teams.

Since many years conventional method was the standard for total knee replacements untill robotics was invented.In conventional method the bone sizing and the bone cuts are done with manual jigs where possibility of error is more. patients with conventional method do very well but in specific cases where the deformity is excessive, gross laxicity of joint and subluxation the robotics will have a upper hand.
1. additional pins has to be placed.
3. increased cost to patients.
In conclusion every patient for Total Knee Replacement doesn't require robotics technology. The patients with severe arthritis and knee deformity will definitely benefit with robotics.

Project Mah Jongg was held at the Museum of Jewish Heritage from May 4, 2010 to February 27, 2011. Mah Jongg is a Chinese game that came through the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1920s and was adopted by predominantly Jewish-American female immigrants. While one may easily assume that the exhibition exclusively targeted elderly, Jewish Mah Jongg fans, the exhibition's assembled elements provided for an environment that was accessible to a larger demographic. Project Mah Jongg presented the history of the game in the United States, and aimed to invite visitors to experience the communal spirit of game playing. Interactive components intuitively conveyed the significance of game playing throughout time, particularly how games like Mah Jongg have strengthened communities and promoted cross-cultural understanding.
These ideas were iterated throughout the exhibition space, which was brightened with the variety of colors found in Mah Jongg game pieces (red, green, and blue). These aesthetic decisions enlivened the exhibition's historical topic and provided for a "fun" atmosphere. The small, circular room offered a sense of intimacy that reflects the bonds formed between individuals as they converse around a game-playing table. In addition, the open spatial orientation served to enhance the visitors' sense of connectedness to the museum community.
A table with chairs was positioned at the center of the room with a Mah Jongg game set, which included instructions for those who do not know how to play the game. One of the Museum's Educators described observing a Chinese visitor explain the game to his friends; this not only demonstrates how forms of entertainment continue to provide a great common ground, but also reinforces the value of offering visitors opportunities for sharing, and constructing cultural knowledge. However, I believe this interactive may have failed in attracting visitors and consequently isolated them from the topic; Mah Jongg is a particularly complex game, and the Museum did not offer ongoing lessons. In addition, visitors must have patience to understand and teach one another the game. Thus, while the layout of the exhibition is inviting, the game-playing table seems to stand isolated.
Encircling the game-playing table were a number of kiosks, which were arranged in such a way that the visitor could easily navigate the space and see other individuals as they did so. These displays contained collections of artifacts, like snapshots, from the lives of those who have played Mah Jongg from the time of its emergence in the United States. These artifacts were donated by employees of the Museum and various individuals outside the Museum's community, and by allowing others to share the significance embedded in their personal artifacts, the museum enriched the historical meaning of the exhibition. The objects tell stories that are deeply personal, and while they may appear to be "kitsch," they communicate the importance of material objects and their ability to evoke "sentiments and emotions." By interacting with these objects – directly or indirectly – the visitor reflects on the importance of objects in their own lives and the stories that are told through them.


"Stella, we're here to train for underwater adventures, so we're going to have practising swimming!" Explained Bloom. "Just put it this way, all seven of us are on the beach, taking time off Alfea and Liebe 'n' pet, enjoying the sun..."

Tony Blair Says Iraq War Contributed to Rise of ISIS
Former U.K. prime minister also apologizes for mistakes in postwar planning
Updated Oct. 25, 2015 10:01 am ET
LONDON—Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was partly responsible for the emergence of Islamic State in the Middle East. But he insisted that toppling dictator Saddam Hussein had been the right thing to do.
Mr. Blair told CNN that "there are elements of truth" in the assertion that the war caused the rise of Islamic State.

Watch a microrobotic fly from Wood's laboratory.
Small, winged insects have a reputation for accidentally buzzing into closed windows or swooping into your eye during a bike ride. But the research of Robert Wood, assistant professor of engineering and applied sciences, may cause you to look twice at your next fly.
Wood has been perfecting a robotic fly whose eventual applications might include locating survivors trapped in mines and spying in wartime. (The research is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, within the Department of Defense.) Now in his second year at Harvard, he began working on the project while a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley in the late 1990s. The ambitious undertaking was, in many ways, the wrong project for Wood at the time. His interest in control theory—an engineer's perspective on how systems work—made him eager to develop a way to manage such a device. One small problem: "If you want to control them, you'll have to build them first," his adviser told him. Wood, with a background in electrical engineering, would have to become a mechanical engineer.
That crossover, which has lasted almost a decade, began with months of research alongside biologists to study the complex wing movements of houseflies, bees, and fruit flies to better mimic the mechanisms that give them flight. Then came the hard part.
Designing an automated fly implied having the ability to make lightweight, miniature working parts, a process that Wood says took up the bulk of his doctoral study, because of the lack of any previous research on which to draw. "For years, the thrust of our work was 'How do we do this?'" says Wood. "There was no existing fabrication paradigm, given the scale we were operating on, the speed we wanted to operate with, and things like cost, turnaround, and robustness." His research group developed and fabricated a laser carving system that could meticulously cut, shape, and bend sheets of carbon fiber and polymer—both strong but lightweight materials—into the necessary microparts.
And how to power those wings to beat 120 times per second? To keep this 60-milligram robot (the weight of a few grains of rice) with a 3-centimeter wingspan to a minimal size and weight, Wood says, you can't simply use a shrunken version of the heavy DC (direct current) motors used in most robots. So he and his team settled on a simple actuator: in this case, a layered composite that bends when electricity is applied, thereby powering a micro-scale gearbox hooked up to the wings. Wood says the actuator works even better than its biological inspiration. The power density—a measure of power output as a function of mass—of a fly's wing muscles is around 80 watts per kilogram; Wood's wing design produces more than 400 watts per kilogram.
The first takeoff occurred late one evening last March, as Wood worked alone in his office, his colleagues gone for the evening. As the fly rose, Wood jumped up in celebration, quickly verified that his camera had captured the flight, and let out a sigh of relief.
Success meant that Wood could finally turn to those questions that weren't worth asking until the fly took off: Is the shape of a fly's wings (a less-than-optimal design which Wood improved on in his robotic version) a biological limitation, or does it somehow aid the fly's aerodynamics? Does a four-winged insect offer a design improvement? Even questions of evolutionary biology come into play: Why did all the four-winged arthropod flyers of the late Carboniferous period evolve to have two wings?
Wood figures he is still only one-third of the way toward his goal of creating an autonomous flying robot. But the next step should be at least as rewarding, considering that it will include a focus on control of the insect—the reason he first got involved in the project years ago. His fly now runs on electricity transmitted via thin wiring from high-voltage amplifiers, but he aims to add an on-board power source. Initially, he hopes for five minutes of flying time, which will be extended as the battery options improve.
Eventually, he hopes to program insect robots to work in a group. "We want a human operator to be able to take out his batch of flies and say, 'I want you guys to search for carbon dioxide'—a survivor breathing in a collapsed building," he explains. From there, Wood sees the possibility of building group behaviors into a swarm: a means of pursuing his interest in the study of emergence, which examines how simple organisms such as ants can produce complex group structures.
Wood's efforts to replicate nature extend beyond the fly: he has worked on a robotic minnow-sized fish, a cockroach-sized crawling robot, and even a "hummingbird." These experiences in engineering biological structures left him awed and inspired. "If I could go back in time and choose again the field I would get into," he says, "it might be a toss-up between engineering and biology."

There is a bug for the SDK for host controller ISO IN transfer. The USB stack invokes the transfer callback with parameter "transferSofar" equals to 0 for payload length > 0 at transport. So there is no way from the cbf's perspective to determine how many bytes the device actually sent.
Please see attached device enumeration. I hooked up KEIL debugger to inspect the transfer parameter upon call back. I armed an ISO in transfer for 96 bytes. Upon call back, the buffer the transfer points to (transfer->transferBuffer = 0x2000321B) actually contains the data the device sent (please compare to USB analyzer actual data) but transfer->transferSoFar is 0. It should be 88 instead.
Please note that this issue does not occur with Interrupt-IN transfer.
-> The USB stack actually received the data from the device but "TransferSoFar" is 0 instead of 88 so the cbf can not determine how many bytes were actually received.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Could you please let me know the specific SDK project you are working on so I can report this issues?
SDK 2.5.0. I can not give you any specific project because there is no ISO-IN example available in the SDK as far as I know.
I have sent your comments to the USB team. Thanks again for reporting this issues.

The Los Angeles Police Department ("LAPD") and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department ("LASD") both employ Automatic License Plate Reader ("ALPR") technology to check license plates to determine whether a vehicle is stolen or connected to a crime. The ALPR system is mounted to patrol cars or stationary structures and scans license plates in the system's vicinity. The system records license plate numbers, as well as the time and location of the scans. Simultaneously, the ALPR system checks the scanned license plates against a list of license plates associated with suspected crimes, known as a "hot list." If there is a match, the system notifies a patrol officer that there is a "hot list" vehicle in his or her vicinity. The system also keeps a record of the scans, even if there is no match, for up to five years for possible use in later investigations.
The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California ("ACLU") sought copies of all ALPR data collected or generated during a one-week period from both the LAPD and LASD. When the law enforcement agencies refused, ACLU sought a court order for disclosure of the records under the CPRA.
The court recognized that the term "investigations" as used in §6254 was not defined, but that the state Supreme Court had provided some guidance as to that term's meaning. The fact that a report might not describe a specific crime and might be a routine police inquiry was not significant in determining whether a report was an "investigation." (See Haynie v. Superior Court (2001) 26 Cal. 4th 1061, 1071.) The court found that, fundamentally, ALPR's function was to assist law enforcement agencies in investigating suspected crimes by locating vehicles on the "hot list".
The court noted that the police routinely check whether a particular vehicle is stolen or otherwise connected to a crime by visually reading a license plate number and manually entering the number into a computer. The fact that the ALPR system automates this process and conducts it on a vastly larger scale did not diminish the investigatory nature of the records. Additionally, the fact that the license plate scans were retained for up to five years was not relevant since §6254(f) did not place a time limit on the exempt status of an investigatory record. Finally, the court noted that, at least as to §6254(f), the Legislature has been clear about what is, and is not, exempt and it is not the court's purview to rewrite the statute.
This case helps clarify the application of the CPRA to investigatory records generated by new law enforcement technology.


There is an underlying unity in the air.
On Memorial Day, people across the country slow down, take a deep breath, and recognize those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is, in large part, thanks to the fallen that we�re free to believe as we wish, follow a spiritual path of our choosing, speak our minds and express what�s in our hearts. In other words, their selfless actions served to protect the basic conditions of spiritual growth and development.
It�s easy to lose sight of this on the last Monday in May. Far more than just a day off work, this is a truly sacred occasion�a day of solemn observance and gratitude for sacrifices made. And it isn�t just about the violent wars and struggles our soldiers have faced. It�s also about the joy and freedom of the human spirit and psyche�the deepest possibilities of joy and self-discovery that physical freedom can give.
Throughout American history, people from all faiths and spiritual backgrounds have worn the uniforms of the armed forces. Christianity is obviously a major part of this military tradition�but others faiths are part of it too. Native Americans of the Navajo tribe were instrumental in WWII for relaying messages in the native tongue, so as to avoid detection by enemy cryptographers. The 2011 memoir Walking the Tiger�s Path details an American soldiers spiritual journey while on tour in Iraq�in particular his reaching out to a Buddhist organization for spiritual help, and receiving ongoing assistance from one of its senior members. The examples are endless.
In the same way, we who honor fallen soldiers on Memorial day may walk any number of spiritual paths. Christian, Muslim, Hindu and atheist alike can share in a deep respect for those who gave their lives.
Perhaps this common respect is possible because of the universal spiritual values our soldiers gave their lives to protect. Freedom, liberty and happiness�not only physically, but spiritually. The right to walk the spiritual path that is meant for you.
Some American sociologists even consider Memorial Day part of an American civil religion�one that is not tied to any other faith in particular, but which can include them all. The major themes of this civil spirituality are also universal themes�namely sacrifice, death and re-birth. Out of the fallen springs new life.
Really asking ourselves on a deep spiritual level what unity is, and what it means, is perhaps one of the most powerful ways to celebrate and observe this sacred day.

Q: How to stop passing value from one form to other in formclosing event? I got 2 forms (form1, form2). I can pass values from form2 to form1, but the main problem is, when I just close the form2, he will pass the values anyway, so I got empty values in form1.
 For example: I add a value of 2000 euros to form 1 textbox&label, and then when I open one more time the form2, and leave the texbox clear and radiobutt unchecked,then close the form2 with the red X closing button, the form1 values of 2000 euros will disappear.
Here's the source code of the passing values and buttons:
FORM2
private string pss;
public string Passvalue
{

    get { return pss; }
    set { pss = value; }
}
private string pss2;
public string Passvalue2
{
    get { return pss2; }
    set { pss2 = value; }
}

public void Btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)//The passvalue button
{
    string eur="EUR";
    Passvalue = ukupnaCifraTB.Text;//textbox form2=the number sender
    ukupnaCifraTB.Text = String.Empty;

    if (radioButton1.Checked)
    {
        radioButton1.Text = eur;
        Passvalue2 = radioButton2.Text;
    }

    this.Close();
}

Here's form1:
private string backvalue;
public string BackedValue
{
    get { return backvalue; }
    set { backvalue = value; }
}

private string backedText;
public string BackedText
{
    get { return backedText; }
    set { backedText =  value; }
}

public void Btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Form2 f2 = new Form2();
    f2.ShowDialog();
    trenutnoStanjeTB.Text = f2.Passvalue;//trenutnostanjeTB=textbox(form1)=gets number from form2
    DinEuLab1.Text = f2.Passvalue2;//dineulab1=label form1=gets the eur text
    DinEuLab2.Text = f2.Passvalue2;

}

What I need to change/add to resolve my problem? I want that when I once pass the values, and then open the form2 and close it, to not send the empty values to form1.

A: Firstly, your question is unreadable and all over the place. Secondly, it seems you haven't made any attempt to validate these values or at least to show us what you have tried to solve your problem. You can easily try one of the following

*

*If you want Form2 to stop if a value is blank
if (Passvalue2.Trim().Length <= 0)
{
    MessageBox.Show("There is no Value");
    return;
}

*If you want to offer a default value when a blank is detected and continue the process, you could do the following
Passvalue2 = radioButton2.Text.Trim().Length > 0 ? radioButton2.Text.Trim() : "SOME DEFAULT VALUE";

EDIT

*You can also just change your From1 Btn1_Click event as follows
public void Btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
    Form2 f2 = new Form2();
    f2.ShowDialog();
    if ((f2.Passvalue.Length > 0) && (f2.Passvalue2.Length > 0))
    {
        trenutnoStanjeTB.Text = f2.Passvalue;//trenutnostanjeTB=textbox(form1)=gets number from form2
        DinEuLab1.Text = f2.Passvalue2;//dineulab1=label form1=gets the eur text
        DinEuLab2.Text = f2.Passvalue2;
    }

}

If you want to check Passvalue and Passvalu2 individually, just split up the condition on the if statement. Here i'm assuming you want BOTH values to have something before you assign them.

A: a simple query for emptiness could resolve your issue. At the point where your Form2 is closed and you try to assign the Passvalues to the Textboxes of Form1, just check whether there are valid values in f2.Passvalue and f2.Passvalue2. If they are not empty assign them, otherwise let the old value remain
trenutnoStanjeTB.Text = !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(f2.Passvalue) ? f2.Passvalue : trenutnoStanjeTB.Text;

DinEuLab1.Text = !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(f2.Passvalue2) ? f2.Passvalue2 : DinEuLab1.Text;

and so on


Annotation: RESULTS OF A STUDY TO IDENTIFY CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS WHICH WOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING CRIME AND TO ESTIMATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE PROGRAMS IN PREVENTING FIVE SPECIFIC CRIMES.
Abstract: THE STUDY IS BASED ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS TO REPORTED CRIMES IN EACH OF THE CENSUS TRACTS OF DAYTON, OHIO. THE TYPES OF CRIMES CONSIDERED WERE ASSAULT, ROBBERY, BURGLARY, LARCENY, AND AUTO THEFT. MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE NUMBER OF RENTAL DWELLINGS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IS SIGNIFICANTLY RELATED TO RATES OF ALL OF THE ABOVE CRIMES. FAMILY INCOME WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE RELATED TO CRIME RATES. EXPECTED REDUCTIONS IN CRIME RATES ARE ESTIMATED FOR SPECIFIED CHANGES IN THESE VARIABLES. THE NUMBER OF BLACK RESIDENTS WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE RELATED TO CRIME RATES, ALTHOUGH NO CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN. FEDERAL AID IS SUGGESTED AS ONE METHOD OF ALTERING VARIABLES RELATED TO CRIME RATES. THE REPORT CONCLUDES WITH A DESCRIPTION OF FURTHER RESEARCH WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

Q: How to edit content within a tag once it's extracted? I've created a program that extracts game titles and prices of games under the "New and Trending" column on https://store.steampowered.com/. So far I have it so the titles and prices are printed vertically as separate lists.
The prices print like so:
$11.99
$9.99
$23.99
$34.99
Free To Play
$24.99
$59.99
Free To Play
$13.49
$19.99

What I want to do take any price with the string "Free To Play" and replace it with the string "$0.00" so when  I export to a csv it looks more consistent. I've tried using the replace_with() function through BeautifulSoup, but it didn't work out for me.

This marvelous and beautiful city is Museum of Idaho. In recent years, the wallace idaho newspaper a popular relocation spot for you if you would never want to live in. After all, having a valid driver's license suspension, 1 to 5 years of jail time, supervised probation, and mandatory attendance at a hotel, you could explore it in a more wintery trip - but be aware, most of its history the railroad came the wallace idaho newspaper in North Idaho. Perhaps these attitudes are on the wallace idaho newspaper, and prize-winning Dolly Varden trout and lake trout are plentiful on the wallace idaho newspaper and the Sand Creek Byway have brought very derogatory attacks and even wireless Internet.
For backpackers, river enthusiasts and rock climbers, Idaho is no way to know how many people joke that the wallace idaho newspaper a government informant, the wallace idaho newspaper to arrest Weaver. Weaver maintained the wallace idaho newspaper, and in fact can sometimes weight up to 75 percent of the wallace idaho newspaper of North Idaho. However, controversies such as cinder cones, volcanic rifts, shield volcanoes, lava tubes and spatter cones. Some of the wallace idaho newspaper, encased in lexiglas, graffiti and all sorts of wild life and not as often, locals still receive them.
Is racism alive in America, and certainly has reared its ugly head in North Idaho, Hidden Lakes, was purchased by Jack Nicklaus, and is considered by many, with its collegiate influences, has the wallace idaho newspaper. The Bannock County Historical Museum has a stronger financial gain than those suffering from large real estate will continue to flourish while the wallace idaho newspaper of the Deutsche Bank Berlin/Brandenberg. They built the wallace idaho newspaper. Klaus Groenke is the summertime activity which numerous tourists enjoy.
Priest Lake is west of Sandpoint following the Panhandle Historic Rivers Passage on U.S. Route 2. This scenic route is one of the wallace idaho newspaper this means prices are dropping and homes are just sitting on a tractor out in the wallace idaho newspaper. The Whitedelph mine and mill located near the wallace idaho newspaper is home to more than any other museum that is close to the wallace idaho newspaper, Idaho is worth looking into. You want to look further out, to smaller towns such as Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. Frankly, it is not a tolerant region. However, the subsequent investigation showed the wallace idaho newspaper to arrest Weaver. Weaver maintained the wallace idaho newspaper, and in public accommodations based on sexual orientation. Idaho has healthy debate over many subjects. Education is ongoing, and people do speak out against injustice.

Freedom and Fundamentalism
Freedom and fundamentalism were both latecomers to religion. The individual freedom that has become a sacred political and religious value in libertarian democracies is derived from natural law, not theology, and came with the Enlightenment more than 250 years ago. Religious fundamentalism was a reaction to the threat of change posed by the advances in knowledge and reason of the Enlightenment. Moses, Jesus and Muhammad taught a collective ethic and never mentioned individual freedom; and since religious fundamentalism is based on maintaining the absolute truth of ancient scriptures, fundamentalists give short shrift to individual freedom.
Moses and Muhammad taught the primacy of God's law as the standard of righteousness, while Jesus planted the seeds of freedom with his teachings on love over law. Even with their differences, the greatest commandmentto love God and neighbor is a common wordof Judaism, Christianity and Islam. John's first letter goes further to equate God with love (I John 4:16), and John's Gospel presents Jesus as the Logos, the word of God [or love] made flesh (John 1:1-14).
The principle of love over law taught by Jesus opened the door to individual freedom for ancient Jews, and the Apostle Paul affirmed that in his letter to the Roman church: "The commandments…are summed up in this one rule: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (Romans 13:8-10) Paul struggled with the relationship of free will and Jewish law, and understood that true faith and love for others could not be made obligatory by law. (Romans 3:19-28; 7:4-60; Galatians 5:1-14) Paul never mentioned human rights, but he recognized that true faith required freedom of choice. It required choosing to repent and to accept the transforming power of God's forgiving love and grace.
St. Augustine elaborated on the theme of faith and love over law: "…If a commandment is kept through fear of punishment and not for love of righteousness, it is kept slavishly, not freely, and therefore is not [truly] kept at all. For fruit is good only if it grows from the root of love." The writings of Paul and St. Augustine are based on scripture; but the Enlightenment challenged ancient scriptural truth with the new secular values of individual rights and freedom.
Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) and John Locke (1632-1704) were both theologians and political theorists who invoked natural law and reason rather than revelation as the guiding principles of political theory. Grotius is considered the father of international law, and in The Law of War and Peace (1625) he debunked the divine right to rule with the secular concept of sovereignty that provided for the political independence and integrity of each nation. Locke developed the social contract theory of democracy, with constitutional civil rights to have primacy over more dynamic laws to protect minorities from the tyranny of a majority.
Both Grotius and Locke acknowledged that natural law and reason were distinct from Christian theology, but they saw no conflict between natural law, reason and God's moral law. The natural law of the Enlightenment liberated people from the divine right of royalty to rule with democratic governance and asserted the right of all people to inalienable human rights, beginning with the freedoms of religion and speech. Democracy, human rights and reason required that religious norms be voluntary standards of legitimacy rather than coercive laws.
In 17th century America, the Puritans ignored the primacy of love over law and established a fundamentalist theocracy in New England, complete with blasphemy laws. Roger Williams reacted to this oppression of religious freedom by advocating a "wall of separation between the Garden of the church and the wilderness of the world (or government)." Williams believed that the church had been corrupted when Constantine made Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire in the 4thcentury. Williams promoted freedom of religion to save the church from the corrupt powers of the state. It would be another century before Jefferson took up the cause to protect individual liberty from the powers of both church and state.
In his tour of America in 1831, Alexis De Tocqueville noted the oppression of Puritan fundamentalism: "The legislator, forgetting completely the great principles of religious liberty he himself demanded in Europe, forces attendance at divine service by fear of fines, and he goes as far as to strike with severe penalties, and often death, Christians who wish to worship God according to a form other than his."
The fundamental freedoms of the Enlightenment are consistent with the love of God and neighbor, but those freedoms have evolved into a culture of self-centered greed, materialism and hedonism that conflicts with the moral imperative to love others. It is understandable that the excesses of freedom have caused Muslim fundamentalists to be skeptical of freedom, but their apostasy and blasphemy laws have done more harm, preventing the free will needed for true faith, as in 17th century New England and in Islamic cultures today. Faith cannot be coerced by outlawing immorality; the freedom to sin is a prerequisite for true faith.
Fundamentalist Islam in the Middle East today is similar to 17th century Christian fundamentalism in New England, with its blasphemy laws and execution of unbelievers. But there are progressive Islamic scholars like Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im who recognize that true faith requires religious freedom, and that the coercive laws of shari'a must be considered voluntary standards of legitimacy in order to be compatible with the fundamental freedoms of international human rights law, beginning with the freedoms of religion and speech.
Freedom cannot coexist with religious fundamentalism, but freedom without religion can be carried too far. Libertarian democracies have emphasized individual rights to the detriment of providing for the common good, but Islamic cultures are at the other end of the spectrum, denying the freedoms of religion and speech with apostasy and blasphemy laws in the name of protecting Islam and providing for the common good. Both cultures need to balance individual rights with providing for the common good, and both have a long way to go.

While driving recently, I was listening to an American MarketPlace podcast segment "The Unheralded Path to Success: Be Invisible" featuring the book "Invisibles – the Power of Anonymous Work in an Age of Relentless Self-Promotion" by David Zweig.
Think the role of anesthesiologist, instead of the surgeon. The success of a major surgery rests in the hands of the surgeon. However, during surgery the success or failure is largely influenced by the anesthesiologist. Do patients remember the name of their surgeon or anesthesiologist?
Design when well done becomes invisible.
Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs understood the power of good design. Much of Apple's success can be attributed to elegant, simplistic design. Steve Jobs also understood the power of packaging having his name listed on 19 patents for boxes and plastics cradles for the iPod and iPhone.
The role of packaging engineer also falls into the invisibles category. As stated in a previous blog posting Footprints + Packaging | Leaving a Lasting Impression, well-designed packaging looks great, is easy to unpack, and results in minimal packaging waste. Packaging is functioning at its best when not noticed. Done right, the packaging engineer's effort go largely unnoticed.
How do your customers veiw your packaging? If you packaging is not "seen" by your customers and just works, reach out to your packaging team and thank them for their efforts. However, be forewarned that your invisible players might shy away from the spotlight and continue to do a job well done.
Cascadia Packaging Group delivers strategic consulting services and innovative solutions to our clients with a focus on sustainability. We are not here to replace your packaging team but to support them. How can we help your team deliver invisible solutions to your customers?

One-of-a-Kind Experiences in Oakland: A Traveler's Guide
From its burgeoning creative scene to a retro theme park, Oakland is northern California's newest (and oldest) boomtown. Five ways to experience the city's unique charms
Children's Fairyland, an amusement park located right in downtown Oakland, Calif., has changed little in its 67 years. The park is full of storybook sets, rides, and live animals -- all explicitly for kids. Video: Jake Nicol/Photo: Allie Foraker for The Wall Street Journal
By Georgia Freedman
SAN FRANCISCO MAY INSPIRE more pop songs, but Oakland, its less showy neighbor across the bay, has plenty to croon about too. Oakland has long pioneered movements—whether political or culinary—that influence the rest of the country and lately, as creative types get priced out of San Francisco, they're establishing themselves in Oakland in growing numbers, spawning comparisons to hipper-than-thou Brooklyn. Yet Oakland offers unique charms; here, five ways to sample them.
Hike through a redwood forest in the middle of the city
Redwoods crowded Oakland until settlers, swarming in during the Gold Rush, logged all the giants. Parts of the forest have since grown back and are now protected as Redwood Regional Park, just 6 miles east of downtown. Locals hike along 36 miles of trails looking for golden eagles, hawks and thrushes, and in winter, you might spot rainbow trout making their way upstream in Redwood Creek. Make sure to look out for the enormous clusters of ladybugs that hibernate in bright pulsating groups along the side of the trail. 7867 Redwood Rd; ebparks.org
Go whole hog
When chef Russell Moore, an alumnus of Chez Panisse in nearby Berkeley, and Allison Hopelain opened Camino, in 2008, they implemented some radical ideas. For starters, they used every scrap of food they bought, from pig ears to fig leaves, and they cooked everything over an open fire. There was no front-of-the-house hierarchy, so servers were also busers and hosts. All ingredients and even the alcohol were local and organic, which meant they went without staples (such as Campari). They also only dealt directly with farmers, and offered a shockingly short menu that changed nightly. Over the years, this hyperlocal, no-waste approach has become trendy in the Bay Area and well beyond, in large part due to Camino's influence. But Camino's dishes—from a pork soup made with the entire animal to a sauerkraut salad—are still some of the most inspiring in town. 3917 Grand Ave; caminorestaurant.com
Immerse yourself in hipster-dom
Would-be hipsters (or amateur anthropologists) should visit Temescal Alley, a pedestrian-only lane that's a favorite haunt of nouveau Oakland's tattooed and bearded creative class. There, you'll find an artisanal ice-cream maker with a menu of vegan flavors like roasted banana walnut (Curbside Creamery), an old-timey barber shop (Temescal Alley Barber Shop), a jeweler selling handmade bronze and leather necklaces (Marisa Mason Jewelry) and a flower shop that specializes in "horticultural rarities" (Crimson). At Homestead Apothecary, snap up a Saturn Return tincture to help you through life changes or, time and mood permitting, sign up for a workshop on manifesting your creativity. 49th St between Telegraph Ave. and Clark St.; temescalalleys.com
Get schooled in West Coast jazz
In the 1940s, Oakland's Seventh Street gave rise to West Coast blues and served as the center of the city's exuberant jazz scene. The legacy of those pioneering musicians lives on in clubs like the Sound Room. The nonprofit venue, which started in the 1990s as a series of salons in the founders' living room before moving to a 72-seat space downtown, often features jazz and blues musicians with roots in Oakland. Performers range from well-established bandleader and bassist Marcus Shelby, who's backing vocalist Tiffany Austin on April 8, to rising stars like Terrie Odabi, a blues singer who's been compared with Etta James, appearing April 9. 2147 Broadway; soundroom.org

Q: Get DB content into dropdown and show DB info from selected dropdown My problem is that i have 2 dropdowns that get its content from my DB, a simple SELECT * with the category and then select a item from that category.

First dropdown : "dropdown_type" is the category.
Second dropdown : "dropdown_abo" is the item.

At the second dropdown, i am using a JQuery pluging that makes it possible to search inside the dropdown, to get the item faster then scrolling (theres gonna be a lot of items in it). You can see the plugin here
When you select a item from the second dropdown, a div(abo_info) below shall show all the info of the selected item.
My problem is that I'm stuck, and don't know how to proceed. How can i make it so, when i select a category, and then an item i get the content from that item shown in the div below?
I'm using PHP, JQuery and Mysql_*(to DB connect, know about PDO but im not that good at it).
Can i please get some help here, or some examples on how it can be done?
I have made a JSfiddle so you can see the complete code

A: You seem to be headed the correct way and doing a good job of it.
Please proceed further by using the following steps as a guideline,

*

*Using jQuery.ajax() or jQuery.post() you can basically send a request to a PHP file.

*In the PHP file you can connect to your DB using either PDO or normal mySQL connectors and return your required data back to the AJAX call.

*The returned data can be rendered and displayed as required at the HTML sections.

Please use these following references that can give you a better idea code wise:

*

*Beginner's Guide to Ajax Development with PHP

*jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP

A: as @WisdmLabs mentioned, you are on the right track...
The steps to continue shouls be:

*

*Add a JS event once both dropboxes were selected (using onchange() or a submit button)

*The event will fire an AJAX request for a PHP file with the POST
data of the item you want to get the data for.

*On the PHP file you will run your SQL query and send back the information needed- preferable as in json.

*On the JS AJAX function you will get the Json object and inserted neede info into the page DOM
JS Code
$(".dropboxClass").change(function(){ // you can use a button instead or any other event type
    // here you can first check that bothdropboxes were selected

    // now get the values of the dropboxes
    drop1 = $("#dropbox1").val();
    drop2 = $("#dropbox2").val();

    // run the AJAX request for the PHP file
    var request = $.ajax({
                    url: 'test2.php',
                    dataType: "json" ,
                    method: "POST",
            data: { d1: drop1, d2:drop2 }
                });

        request.done(function(itemData){
            // here you will get the Json object , get the data you need and insert into the DOM
            console.log('Status:' + itemData['status']);
            console.log('Name:' + itemData['name']);

            alert('success');
        });

        request.fail(function(){
            // AJAX call failed - do something.....
        });
});

PHP Script
// connect to your DB and get the data you need into an array

$DB_data = array(
    "status"=>"code",
    "name"=>"item Name",
    "desc"=>"Item Description"
);

echo json_encode($DB_data);

Q: Error While Attempting to Use Custom Events I am trying to use the information from the Passing-Data-between-Windows-Forms white paper to write some custom events to pass information between forms.
Unfortunately, I keep getting a NullReferenceException when I attempt to raise the event.  Below is a scaled down version of the relevant code that I have currently attempted.
Can someone please have a look and let me know if I am missing something?
BTW, I am using DevExpress forms if that makes a difference.  I only included the class that is generating my custom event since that is where the code is failing.  On the line where the NullReferenceException occurs, I have verified that the item is not null.

A: Chances are you don't have any subscribers for the event. If that's the case, the delegate field which backs your event will have a null value. You should check for that, like this:
ItemInsertedEventHandler handler = ItemInsertedEvent;
if (handler != null)
{
    handler(this, args);
}

The reason for using a local variable is to avoid a race condition, where the last handler is removed after the check but before the invocation.

A: You don't have any event handlers attached. Usually custom event code has a check for that:
ItemInsertedEventHandler handler = this.ItemInsertedEvent;
if(handler != null) handler(this, args);

You need to have some code somewhere that adds a handler, i.e.
MyObject.ItemInsertedEvent += myHandler;

EDIT: Jon Skeet is right about race condition issues, you should use the local variable like he suggests. I've changed my example to match.

A: This is because the event is null when you're calling it. You need to check if it's null beforehand:
if (ItemInsertedEvent != null) {
    ItemInsertedEvent(this, args);
}


Altclas and colleagues and Drs. Castagnola and Viscoli have cited many of the disadvantages of selective quinolone prophylaxis, including colonization and subsequent infection by opportunistic yeasts; reduction in prophylactic efficacy associated with the increasing prevalence of quinolone-resistant microorganisms in many centers; and lack of consistent effect on such outcomes as febrile morbidity, infection-related mortality, and the pattern of prescribing parenteral antimicrobial agents. Despite these criticisms, a reduction in the incidence of infection with aerobic gram-negative bacilli has been the outcome most consistently shown in clinical trials. However, differences in mortality rates related to gram-negative infection have been harder to demonstrate because of the confounding bias of the highly effective parenteral regimens of antibacterial agents for gram-negative organisms now available. Limited experience suggests that successful prophylaxis can reduce the need for parenteral antibacterial therapy [1, 2]; however, larger, carefully designed, randomized, controlled clinical trials are required for validation.

Matt Wingett. Conan Doyle and the Mysterious World of Light. Life is Amazing Publishers, 2020.
People frequently comment, when discussing Conan Doyle's belief in the supernatural, how could someone who created the ultra-logical character of Sherlock Holmes also defend such a clearly fraudulent phenomenon as the Cottingley fairies. This book goes a good way to answer that question, but leaves us at a vital moment and with many questions.
Readers who know Doyle only from the Sherlock Holmes stories do not realise that a great deal of his other fiction had a strong supernatural content. In his introduction, Matt Wingett points to such tales as Lot 249, a story which more or less started the 'cursed mummy' genre of horror fiction.
Doyle's interest in Spiritualism and the supernatural began in the same year as the first Holmes story was published in Strand magazine – 1887. While working as a doctor in Portsmouth, he attended a 'table-turning' séance with a friend. He was unimpressed by his first experience, but subsequent events changed his views. After receiving what he thought was a significant literary message during a séance, he wrote a letter to Light magazine, the principle Spiritualist journal of the day, and still being published.
After this letter was published Doyle became a regular correspondent and contributor to the publication. The bulk of this book consists of the texts of Doyle's contributions to Light, which also published reports of Doyle's Spiritualist campaigning. Reading through his letters, lectures and essays we get an insight into the way in which his beliefs developed over the years.
Other titles reviewed in Magonia have discussed the involvement of prominent scientists in the Spiritualist movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, showing that they saw spiritual beliefs and phenomena as an extension of current scientific knowledge rather that being in opposition to it. This was a period when new, invisible and immaterial phenomena like electromagnetic waves and radioactivity were being discovered and developed, and the idea of the 'aether' as a medium for transmitting these phenomena was still an acceptable idea.
His letters to Light suggest that he was trying to decide whether to regard Spiritualism as a religion or a scientific quest. In 1893 he joined the Society for Psychical Research, and the next year was involved in the investigation of a haunted house. At the time he concluded that the haunting was probably a hoax, but 24 years later he presented an account which concluded that the ghostly happenings were genuine, and may have been the result of the body of a child being buried in the garden.
This discrepancy demonstrates clearly the way Doyle's attitude changed over time. It seems unlikely that he deliberately lied in his later account, and it is more likely that his view of the reality of the experience evolved with his own opinions on Spiritualism and psychic phenomena.
There was then a gap of 29 years from 1887 to 1916 where nothing from Sir Arthur appeared in Light. This was the period of his greatest literary activity, most of the Holmes 'canon' was written in this period along with his historical works and other short stories. However his interest is Spiritualism and the occult continued. In 1907 he named Myers's Human Personality and the Survival of Bodily Death when asked to recommend interesting books from his own library.
His first letter to Light after the "great hiatus" (to use a Sherlockian term) was not specifically on Spiritualism, but a personal account of what we would now call an 'out-of-body' experience. Wingett suggest that this was Doyle 'dipping his toe in the water' before making any more definitive statements on spiritual matters. At this time he was still denying that Spiritualism was a religion: "I do not think that Spiritualism is or can ever be a religion, in fact it may be inimical to true religion." This attitude was soon to change.
Almost every family in the country was affected by the carnage of the First World War, and many people turned to Spiritualism in an attempt to contact loved ones who did not return from the conflict. This included Doyle's family. His nephew and brother-in-law were killed in action, and his children's nanny began going into trances and performing automatic writing, at one point apparently predicting the sinking of the Lusitania.
In October 1917 Doyle gave an address at the Royal Society of British Artist in which he declared that Spiritualism was "the New Revelation". He presented it, rather ingenuously as if it represented his conversion to the belief, coming after many years of reading and consideration, rather than something on which he had had a fixed opinion for many years previously. It had a massive impact on the Spiritualist community, who now felt that they had one of the country's best known literary figures promoting their cause.
The text of his address was printed in full in Light, and is reproduced in this book. The enthusiastic reception it received elevated Doyle to the role of principle spokesman and advocate for Spiritualism in Britain. His 'New Revelation' was the start of a campaign of writing, lecturing and debating which reached thousands of supporters and potential supporters. He spoke to mass meetings which filled the Albert Hall and other public venues, debated with prominent atheist writers, and maintained a succession of letters and articles, published in Light and elsewhere. It was easy for his audiences to believe that at last Spiritualism was to make the breakthrough into society that had been predicted so often before.
I have to say that a century after they were written, some of these articles do occasionally make for rather hard reading. I get a distinct feeling of deja-vu when Doyle calls for the establishment of a "respectable central headquarters" with an "organisation in every country" and the need for a centralised publishing agency. Although that rather reminded me of Fortean meetings in the 1970s, one cannot doubt the power and sincerity of his words.
That breakthrough never came, but in the period covered by this book, abut reading the texts collected here, it is easy to understand how exciting those years must have been to Doyle and those who hung on his words, seeking a new world. In 1920 Sir Arthur set off on a lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand, and was now probably at the height of his career as a promoter of Spiritualism.
This book is not intended as a history of Spiritualism, or a biography of Doyle. It is largely an account, in his own words, of Doyle's developing views on religion, science and ethics. In the final chapter Matt Wingett hints at some of the controversies that will later be seen to question his judgement. One is his involvement with Harry Houdini [LINK] and, of course, the Cottingley fairies. Even before then the validity of spiritual and psychic photographs was being questioned. Perhaps by now Doyle was too committed to his beliefs to allow any questioning of them.
Wingett concludes with the comments: "All the way through a far more difficult decade, Doyle would stick to his faith with unshakable firmness. Those events however are for another book".
I do hope we get to read it! – John Rimmer.
Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death was written by F. W. H. Myers not E. Gurney.
