In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United HealthCare insurance!
By Phone: If you are unsure if your health insurance plan falls under one of these specific categories, you may want to call the customer service number on the back of your card to verify your in-network status. If your customer service associate is unable to find your provider by name, they may be able to search their network by their National Provider Identification Number.
Once your customer service associate has verified our network participation with your health insurance plan, you can be confident that any claims processed through Family Care will be considered in-network claims through your health insurance.
Online: Depending on your insurance provider, you should be able to follow these steps to verify your in-network coverage. This article describes how to verify coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield, but you can adapt the process to your own insurer.
The easiest way to file a secondary claim is to notify Medicare of your secondary, or supplemental, coverage. If you have not notified Medicare of your alternative coverage, you will usually be required to submit a copy of your original Medicare denial (or statement of patient responsibility), your receipt of payment for non-covered services, and a secondary claim filing form, which may vary by the insurance provider. If you have any questions regarding your Medicare coverage, benefits, or our process for filing claims as a non-participating provider, please contact our office.
It is the patient's responsibility to understand their health insurance policy. Family Care makes every effort to ensure that your health insurance claim is filed correctly and efficiently, and most patients receive their Explanation of Benefits (EOB) letter within just a few weeks of their appointment. This statement is called an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and is sent to the patient by the health insurance company automatically when a claim is for medical claims filed on their behalf.
For in-network insurances, we are obligated to collect patients' co-payments, deductibles or any non-covered services at the time of your visit. After processing your claim and receiving confirmation of your benefits from your insurer, any differences between the balance paid and the balance owed will be reconciled at your next visit.
If we receive a denial on any of the claims submitted on your behalf, we will automatically pursue any denial appeal process available through your health insurance plan, depending on the reason for denial. If a valid claim has been filed and not paid by your health insurance company due to deductibles, co-insurances, contract exclusions or any other type of denial due to your specific insurance policy, it becomes the patient's responsibility to pay the balance.

After fifteen hours of torture rarely if ever surpassed in the bloody annals of the Iroquois, the soul of Gabriel Lalemant was freed from its charred and mutilated prison and summoned to join his comrade Jean de Brébeuf in the radiant splendor of God.

I love Osamu Tezuka and pretty much buy everything published from him when it comes state-side. The latest offering I picked up was Unico. This is a 400-page omnibus paperback that collects the complete run of the series, originally funded by Kick Starter, and published by DMP.
While I am a big champion of all-ages titles, there are those few that are just a bit too cute, to the point where they kind of grate on your teeth. And unfortunately Unico falls under that umbrella. As a unicorn, Unico brings lifelong happiness to anyone who loves him, and when jealous Venus sees how happy the beautiful Psyche is to be with him, she snatches him from her, and whisks him away, with no memory, across time and space. Unfortunately for her, Unico is so kind and lovable that everywhere he finds himself, he manages to find someone to love him and bring happiness to, so he is continually being transplanted to a new life, with no memory of the previous ones. This gets very repetitive after awhile. The scenarios are slightly different each time, with a different era as the backdrop, whether it be the American West or Imperial Russia, but he faces the same problems time and again, and everything tends to be wrapped up with a neat little bow. And every time, Unico begs for a little more time to see his friends to happiness, which he always manages. So, the variety is really lacking in this book, especially by the end of its 400 pages. It would help if Unico was an interesting character, but he is just so passive, wanting only to be loved and be kind. This is, however, a children's book, so I want to give it props for being an enjoyable, light read with Disney-esque characters that kids will like. And the cinematic storytelling keeps you turning those pages quickly. But as a $35 omnibus aimed at collectors, this is definitely a work that fans can skip. I will say that Tezuka's art is stunning in this volume, and as it's presented here in full-color, we get some breathtaking scenes as a result.


Science education is crucial for shaping the present and the future of modern societies. But although the demand for professionals in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is constantly increasing, the enrolment rates in STEM-programs are decreasing.
The SciChallenge project addresses this issue by launching a pan-European STEM-contest for getting young people between of 10 to 20 years excited about the STEM-topics. Participating individuals or groups will develop a topic-specific project and submit videos, presentations or posters through the SciChallenge Platform. By using a combined online community rating and jury rating approach, 12 winners will be selected and awarded in Vienna in June 2017. In order to promote the contest, supporting schools, teachers and other youth-oriented institutions will be involved.
In order to provide inputs as well as inspiration for the participants of the SciChallenge contest, a set of 50 topic sheets was produced. The 1-page topic sheets cover a broad variety of STEM topics ranging from natural science, technology, engineering as well as mathematics. Additionally, an "open category" allow the participants to cover further topics as long as they are directly from the STEM-fields.
While the open category topic sheet addresses both age groups, the other 50 topic sheets are categorized along two age groups. 25 topic sheets are aiming at the 10 to 14 sear old students. These topic sheets are accessible in the following languages: English, German, Greek, Slovenian, Czech, Hungarian, Swedish, Dutch, Italian and Polish. As the "lingua Franca" of global science is English and in order to improve their skills in this language, the 25 topic sheets for the 15 to 20 years old students will be available only in English.
In addition to its function as the main contest channel, the SciChallenge platform will furthermore serve as an awareness channel, which will provide information on events, careers, internships or open days in STEM-institutions.
A first demonstrator was developed and presented, and the open information module was included. The Open Information Module includes: 1) Basic information about the Contest; 2) Guidelines and rules for participation; 3) SciChallenge Topics; 4) Online resources for the participants. Currently, the submission system and the further modules are developed.

Promising advancements in biocontrol treatment that slows citrus greening
By RUTH BORGER
APOPKA, Fla. — Florida citrus growers may have a new tool to help them slow the presence of citrus greening in already diseased trees. While there is no cure for Huanglongbing (HLB), researchers at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences found that injecting a benign Xylella fastidiosa EB92-1 bacteria biocontrol into infected citrus trees over a period of six years reduced the incidence of trees with severe HLB symptoms. The potential result is providing growers with a strategy to keep trees alive and productive longer even when infected with the citrus greening bacterium.
Donald Hopkins, an emeritus professor of plant pathology at the UF/IFAS Mid-Florida Research and Education Center, conducted three trials in central and eastern Florida with commercial groves of Valencia orange and Rios grapefruit trees at different maturity stages. All of the trees tested positive for citrus greening disease at the beginning of the trial but had varying ranges of symptoms from asymptomatic, mild to severe. Trees in the trials included young 2-year-old and mature (greater than 20-year-old) trees.
"Using EB92-1 provided a level of control of HLB in two mature citrus tree trials and in a trial initiated in young 2-year-old trees," said Hopkins. "This biocontrol strain has the potential to prevent or delay severe symptoms of HLB and prevent the loss of production both in mature and young citrus trees."
All trees in the trials remained positive for HLB throughout the six-year trial. The injections of EB92-1 did not prevent or reverse infection of HLB. But key findings indicated that trees that were treated had less increase in symptoms than untreated trees. Injected trees also had increased yield than untreated trees. In mature trees, results from the trials indicated that the most effective control of HLB may require once-a-year treatment for at least the first 2-3 years. Retreatment may be required yearly for best biocontrol.
Using EB92-1 especially combined with nutrition, fertilizer and pesticide best management practices could prolong the life and productivity of citrus trees.
Hopkins believes that the biological control of HLB by EB92-1 is not from direct competition with the HLB pathogen since the EB92-1 bacterium operates in a tree's xylem and the HLB bacterium colonizes the tree's phloem. Rather the impact in more likely an instance of induced resistance. Induced resistance occurs when a plant's resistance mechanism is activated by infecting a plant with a pathogen, such as the benign strain EB92-1. In this case, injecting EB92-1 provided some control of HLB in a tree's tissues not infected with EB92-1 resulting in a slowing of HLB symptoms.
This research was published online in April in Plant Disease, the journal of the American Phytopathological Society (APS) and will soon be in the print version. The project was partially funded by the United States Department of Agriculture HLB Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) group and UF/IFAS. This treatment is patented and licensed to an external company but is not currently available to growers. The trials continue in central and eastern Florida.
The mission of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) is to develop knowledge relevant to agricultural, human and natural resources and to make that knowledge available to sustain and enhance the quality of human life.

Q: Request: References and/or guidelines to assess the compactness of $D_{\infty h}$ Can the community suggest "good" references for learning how to assess the compactness or lack of thereof in this particular case? Otherwise, I may need guidelines to approach/solve the problem at hand.

A: It seems that you are dealing with a point group consisting of rotations and reflections, that is, a subgroup of the orthogonal group $O(3)$. The orthogonal group is a closed and bounded subset of the set of square matrices, and thus by the Heine-Borel theorem is compact. It follows that any closed (i.e. contains all its limit points) subgroup of $O(3)$ is also compact (closed subsets of compact sets are compact; this may be found in a Real Analysis text, such as that of Rudin).

Behavioural difficulties during early childhood have significant implications for multiple outcomes later in life. Child behavioural difficulties at 2 years of age (N = 6246) were assessed by mothers enrolled in a longitudinal, population-based New Zealand cohort study. 10.1% of children had total difficulties scores in the abnormal range on the preschool version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. After controlling for maternal education, poverty, and child's birth age/weight, several antenatal and postnatal maternal health and family risk factors were significant for: (i) emotional problems (antenatal maternal perceived stress, lack of periconceptional folate, and moderate to severe maternal postnatal anxiety); (ii) hyperactivity-inattention (antenatal maternal perceived stress, mothers' antenatal exposure to secondhand smoke, moderate to severe maternal postnatal anxiety, and low maternal self-evaluation); (iii) conduct problems and total difficulties (antenatal maternal perceived stress, verbal inter-parental conflict and low maternal self-evaluation). The identification of risk and protective factors associated with early childhood difficulties are vital for guiding intervention and prevention efforts.

"Game of Thrones" might be making its final debut on our screens next year but that doesn't mean fans have to say goodbye to the Seven Kingdoms forever.
In fact, why not pay them a visit?
HBO announced on Monday that the gates to Westeros will be opened to all fans of the hit show in 2019. The network plans to transform several iconic sets in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions.
The sites are promised to be on a scale and scope bigger than anything fans have ever seen and will feature not only sets from the show but costumes, props and an array of production materials.
There's no official word on whether you'll bump into a White Walker or get up close and personal with a direwolf, but HBO has vowed that there will be "state-of-the-art digital content and interactive materials" (so cross your fingers, you never know).
"The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland's pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration," he added.
"While fans have seen the stunning landscapes, coastlines and mountains in the series, we are thrilled they will now have the opportunity to fully experience the charm of Northern Ireland and immerse themselves into the world of Westeros," McGrillen said.

Today, for reasons that are completely innocent (and none of your business), I was browsing a site called Discount Stripper when I noticed something both amazing and out of place: A huge selection of Victorian boots.
What is the reason for this? Have strippers suddenly become interested in Victoriana? Are there strip clubs somewhere filled with women dancing in g-strings and Victorian granny boots? Surely I'm onto something here.
Their selection of corsets and wigs is also worth a look.

Hinton returns to familiar ground in her first novel in nearly 10 years. Her protagonist is a street-wise youth who exhibits both toughness (he once tried to kill his stepfather) and sensitivity (he is a writer who, in the course of the novel, sells his first book). As the story opens, Travis is on his way from juvenile hall to his uncle's ranch, where, for the first time, his toughness leaves others unimpressed, and where he identifies with the Star Runner, a beautiful, dangerous horse that refuses to be tamed. A friend from the city calls on Travis for help when he becomes mixed up in a couple of violent murders, causing Travis to wonder, as he readies his manuscript for publication, whether will or merely luck kept him from a similar fate. Much of the critical action of this novel occurs offstage, between characters readers have had little opportunity to know. As a result, the novel lacks the gripping immediacy and emotional intensity that have distinguished Hinton's previous novels. As in her other works, however, Hinton portrays her characters with sympathy and yet commendably refuses to gloss over rough edges or gritty truths. Ages 12-up. (Oct.)

First. lets see what the Rational Property Policies applies toward inventions.
According to actually the substitute secret the legal system revealing an secret to assist you to the public will occur in losing the rights to the most important secret. Depending to this particular patent law, if your entire family disclose information of the actual invention and the the general public and for you haven't received a patent, you provide one holiday season from your time among disclosure to apply available for patent insurance.
If a new invention is literally not patentable though, families have our own option to convince ones business your organization will happen to be working with, to signal a Nondisclosure Agreement (otherwise called a good solid disclosure agreement). Then shoppers can soundly share your invention suggestions for getting started. If men and women use your secret lacking your permission you are going to sue your kids. There should be many Nondisclosure Agreement formats but repeatedly they include the sticking with information: How is and as well what really isn't confidential information, obligations of all the experiencing party in addition time periods of time.
If a new other blowout does 't agree in which to sign our own Nondisclosure Acceptance then that you can try not returning to share sensitive trade hints. Disclose capital and "around' the a mystery information. If the various other party grasps what the invention carries out and what is currently the cost you will quite likely sign some sort of nondisclosure design if he or she like those idea.

To Lease or To Finance: That is the Question!
https://www.kalsee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/10_A_Video_KALSEE.mp4
When it comes to buying a new car, you have three options: purchasing it with cash, purchasing it through a loan (also known as financing) or leasing it. For most shoppers, the decision comes down to buying or leasing.
On the surface, the differences between leasing and buying a vehicle seem fairly straightforward. Leasing a car means you'll usually have access to a new set of wheels every few years; buying it likely means that you plan to drive the same car for a much longer period of time. Leasing usually includes a warranty that covers most of your repairs; buying means accepting larger repair costs, which are inevitable as the car ages. Leasing agreements can limit your mileage and your ability to customize your ride; buying means you can put as many miles as you want on the car and customize it however you'd like.
Looking only at the comparisons to the right, you might conclude that buying a car is a more practical and economical option than leasing a car—but if that's really the case, why are monthly lease payments so much lower (often 40% lower!) than monthly loan payments? Why is leasing considered more expensive in the long term if you're paying less on a month-to-month basis? To answer these questions, let's take a look at the concept of depreciation.
Depreciation means a loss of value over time. New cars are a textbook example—you've likely heard that a car loses thousands of dollars in value the moment you drive it off the lot. That's accurate, and that's depreciation at work (and yes, it can be kind of depressing).
All cars depreciate in value over time, but the steepest drop happens in the first three to five years, as you can see below:
Brand new to 5 years old:
The car depreciates by 15% to 20% of its value each year.
From 5 years to 10 years:
The rate of depreciation slows slightly to 10% to 15% of its value each year.
10+ years:
The rate of depreciation tends to level out to less than 5% a year. By this time, the car is usually worth less than one-fifth of its retail price!
Depreciation takes its toll on the value of every vehicle. However, your decision to lease or buy will have an effect on how that depreciation influences your finances.
When you finance a car, you own it once you pay off the loan. This means that you personally take the hit on its depreciation, but it also means you also "own" its residual value. Although that value depreciates over time, if there comes a time when you're ready to sell it or trade it in, you get the benefit of that resale or trade-in value.
By contrast, when you lease a car, you never actually own it. The company that leases the car to you is responsible for selling the car once you've completed your lease term. The leasing company also ultimately deals with the car's depreciation in value. You get to drive a brand new car without needing to think about its loss in value. That sounds pretty great, right? In reality, even though the leasing company deals with the eventual sale of the car, you're the one who makes up for its loss in value through your monthly payments. That payment includes an estimate of how much the car will depreciate by the time your term is up. Monthly payments are lower because you're not paying for the entire car—you're just paying for how much the car will depreciate in those few years that you're driving it (a period of time when, coincidentally, the car depreciates the most).
When you finance a car, the monthly payments are higher because you are paying for the entire car, plus interest on the loan. When you pay the loan back, your monthly payments stop (unlike leasing payments, which continue as long as you're still leasing) and even though your car will have depreciated in value by that point, you will own the remaining value.
As with any major financial decision, there are also other factors that come into play. You need to be realistic about your budget and honest about your lifestyle, and you need to figure out what's most important to you as a new car owner. How comfortable are you with the limitations set by a lease agreement? How prepared are you to pay for eventual car repairs? Will driving a new car every two to three years be worth thousands of dollars more in the long run? To some people, it might be—it all depends on a combination of your personal needs and preferences.

Q: Set up Access table to perform multiple records at time I performed some research how do I need to set up my DB but I need your advice how to.
I have few tables in my db ( db is for incoming material ) in this db are below tables:

*

*Material table

*incoming delivery

*measurements

*supplier

*time measurement

Let me explain logic of this db.
When delivery come user will input some data in form (creation of incoming list) where he will basically enter all data necessary to start process of receiving. So once he hit button save record he will create record in tables incoming delivery and time measure.
Until this point everything works perfectly. When next user received this incoming list he got some data where was one hyperlink to file where they put it measurements.
And here come my problem.
I want data to be input in Access rather than to excel (form input looks much more better [yes this is most important reason  :) ] ).
So for that I created table called measurements, where I plan input [incoming delivery ID], [material id], [primal key] , and that 41 another columns for measurement(this columns need to be separated cause we have many parts and each got different No. of measurement and user will get information via user form ( opening different form based on material id [this works]).
So after describing its logic I am requesting you people how do i create with 1 record to measurement table each time different numbers of measurements in measurements table for it.
put it even more simple just for case. When user hit button to save the record which creates record in delivery list will also create for example additional 5 records (this number will be based on cell value) in measurement table linked with incoming delivery. (relation is of course set up to one-many)
so in the end when i will create somehow continuous table for data input. User will see form where he got incoming delivery No.  some information from other tables and as mentioned 41 items to measure 5 times ( 41 columns and 5 rows )
Hope that my explanation is clear and rly need your help i am screwed :D

A: Hints:

*

*Use VBA to automate the creation of records. Look for information about DAO and/or ADO  and how to use them to insert records (I personally use DAO when I work with Access, it works but it's old).

*Do your homework. Before asking a question, it is important that you do your research and that you try to solve the problems by yourself. Try to help yourself before asking others. Please read this article.

Maybe this snippet of code can help you. You'll need to call this method from an event (button_clic or something in your form):
public sub addRecords(id as integer)
    dim db as dao.database, rsIn as dao.recordset, rsOut as dao.recordset
    dim strSQL as String
    dim someValue as integer, i as integer ' Test values
    ' "Connect" to your current database
    set db = currentdb
    ' Create a recordset with the input data you need (read only)
    strSQL = "select * from tbl_inputTable where id=" & id
    set rsIn = db.openrecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbReadOnly)
    ' Create a recordset to your output table
    set rsOut = db.openRecorset("tbl_outputTable", dbOpenDynaset, dbAppendOnly)
    ' Read the data from the input table
    with rsIn
        .moveFirst
        someValue = rsIn![aField]
    end with
    ' Write some test data to your output table
    with rsOut
        for i = 1 to someValue
            .addNew
                rsOut![fk_id] = id
                rsOut![theValue] = i
            .update
        next i
    end with
    ' Close every recordset and databases (this does not close your application)
    rsIn.close
    rsOut.close
    db.close
end sub

In your input form, write this in the "On Click" event:
sub button1_click()
    call addRecords(txtId.value) ' I am assuming that there's a text box called "txtId"
end sub

This is just a sample of what you can do with DAO. I won't (and maybe nobody else would) write the full code for you: You'll need to fit this to your particular problem.


The official inauguration ceremony of a commemorative stone dedicated to King Mohammed VI took place Friday in Honolulu, as part of Mohammed VI's Week in Hawaii, which runs from November 28 to December 2.

Everything from the food, service to the view was outstanding! Thank you!
Ever time I go I have such a wonderful experience. The food changes constantly, so that it is a new experience every time. The wine book. I do mean book. Has fabulous wine. Affordable to not affordable. The wait staff if friendly and knowledge able. The chefs are amazing. I had an issue with my risotto and they fixed it with a smile and no complaint. To me that is wonderful to see and experience.
Everything was perfect! Lovely dinner!
I met a business colleague for lunch. We had a very nice meal. The service was excellent, the cauliflower soup was o.k. and the Cobb salad was excellent. The atmosphere at Madera is always very good. All in all, a very nice lunch.
A bit pricey but the food and atmosphere and amazing views make up for it!
Wonderful service and delicious food. Smaller portions help you save room for scrumptious desserts! It's just a little louder than I'd like for a party of 2. Hard to hear each other amongst larger groups. The high ceilings make it nosier I think.
Meals are very small (but excellent), and there are no sides available to order. Get an appetizer for sure. Dessert was just ok, wouldn't recommend it.
The atmosphere and service were great! We went there for a dinner with my wife and really enjoyed siting outside in a quite place. The food was very good, however the portions size was extremely small. We don't eat a lot, but for us a shared appetizer and main entry per each person were not enough. We spend a lot of money, but left restaurant quite hungry.
In conclusion I would say the food is great, but doesn't justify the price and size. Next time I would go there for a bar only.
We celebrated a birthday lunch in front of the fireplace and were treated like royalty. From the Happy Birthday and balloons printed on our menus, to the complimentary dessert, to the Polaroid of our celebration, and the first class food, it was an unforgettable and delightful visit. Top notch service, sublime asparagus and smoked trout salad, perfect french fries with a juicy cheeseburger, flavorful winter squash soup poured over dollops of creamy yoghurt and dried cranberries with a granola crunch. We shared the Madera bon bon plate which is a trip around northern CA from the red wine chocolate representing Napa, to the apple truffle symbolizing Silicon Valley and the brilliant blue sea salt truffle highlighting the bay in the Bay Area. Experience it!
my husband brought me here for my birthday dinner and we had an amazing evening with wonderful food & drink. the ambiance, decor, and service were stellar! the property that this restaurant sits on is absolutely stunning and we would like to come back during the daytime (on a warmer, sunnier day) to stroll the grounds. great place to celebrate a special occasion with a dear friend or loved one.
Madera never disappoints. Great food, awesome wine list, attentive staff. Never had a dish that missed there. Every visit has been just a wonderful experience.
Such a wonderful experience at Madera. Went for our 7 year anniversary and the staff took so many extra steps to make it special. First, getting well wishes from front desk staff as soon as we checked in. Then, free sparkling wine upon seating. Then, a message of Happy Anniversary on our menus. Then, complimentary dessert with an anniversary message. And THEN! a free photo of our evening along with a copy of our menus. Not to mention that the food was fabulous. Yes, the food menu is small, but everything was delicious and they clearly do it well. Beautiful ambience with high wooden ceiling. Just gorgeous.
Everything was spot-on, exceeding our expectations.
Always a special place. Terrific staff who treat guests as if they are special, making Madera a wonderful place to spend an evening or lunch.
We had a great lunch. Hope for more vegetarian entrees in the future!
Has always been a special place, but I love the new executive chef.
The service and good is impeccable at this restaurant. The location and ambiance is superb with an unbeatable view of the mountains and tress alongside HYW 280. The location is very exclusive and quiet. Great place to dine.
I guess their chef left with a bunch of experienced waiters, dinner serving is a little bit messy and chaotic. There's no more tasting menu, only 7 appetizers and 5 entrees.
Patrick is a good manager though, you tried, it's not your fault.
Really spectacular experience at Madera! Food options are unique and delicious! Staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Great customer service!! Loved spending our weekend here and have the opportunity to eat several meals here. Thank you!
Really spectacular experience at Madera! Food options are unique and delicious! Staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Great customer service!! Loved spending our weekend here and have the opportunity to eat several meals here. For this dinner we also had the opportunity to meet the Somm Paul, he was very knowledgeable and included us in our delicious wine journey! Can't thank you enough!!
We recently had an anniversary dinner at Madera. Although the menu is not large, it has a nice variety of offerings and every dish we ordered (2 appetizers, salad, 2 entrees) was superb! The sommelier made a great wine suggestion, which we had not previously tried and it was magnificent. The servers were attentive but not intrusive. The restaurant provided complimentary Proseco and desert, which was also a very nice touch. We will definitely make dinner there a more frequent event! I highly recommend.
Almost paradise...but not quite. The current menu is sparse, expensive and uncreative. But it is good, just not extraordinary. The location is wonderful, especially from the terrace which offers captivating views of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The staff are superb, cordial and professional, knowing when to be at your side but never intervening without being asked.
The dining room is large and it too is sparse allowing for sounds to cascade, nay ricochet off the glass windows unceasingly which at first is a distraction but after your first drink one accepts it as an unending roar that one must overcome for conversation to be heard by the person next to you or across from you.
In the end you will say that you enjoyed yourself but be unable to describe why.
A larger selection of food. Your wine/spirit list is outstanding, but you need more beef, chicken and sea food selection.
Your dessert list can also be improved.
eaten. Bread was stale and cold, served on warm stones?
Superb service: however, the chef destroyed the meal by salsifying the meat - short ribs. On the other hand, the soup and desserts were excellent.
We normally have lunch at the Madera and will probably continue to do so but it is unlikely we we try dinner there again.
Great service and delicious food. Octopus dish was tender and delicious. A5 Wagyu was like b.u.t.t.e.r, super delicious. The cheese plate for dessert was so so, nothing special. The fresh fruit plate (berries) was a fantastic choice.
The wine selection recommended by Sommelier was horrible. Don't even remember the wine recommendation but $100 bottle bottle of wine, so sour and tasted like a sub $10 cheap wine. Really need a better selection of Red wine at Madera. They have two wine Sommeliers here and still can't get it right. ps. Nickel and Nickel Merlot by the glass is nice ($35/glass).
Wonderful meal, beautiful room! We were spending the evening at the Rosewood as our daughter lives in the area and invited some local friends to join us. Great service, extensive (I mean really extensive!) wine list and helpful sommelier. All the starters and entrees were wonderful. I had the field greens (fresh and perfectly dressed) and the duck breast, which was fabulous, cooked to perfection. The best entree may have been the black truffle risotto, pretty amazing! It is not an inexpensive meal, but the value was pretty reasonable given the very, very high quality of the food and attentive service. Great splurge dinner if you are in the area, I know it gets a lot of use for business dinners as well given the location in the heart of the VC world.
We are frequent guests for business and pleasure. Friendly, courteous staff at all levels from sommelier to waitstaff to table attendants to valets. Always a terrific experience!
It is a nice environment and one is able to sustain a conversation with low noise level. However, the food was only mediocre, as was the service. For a high price restaurant, one expects better.
The waiters were very respectful and accommodating however some items needed to be asked for more than once. Some of the hot food was served lukewarm at best and I would not reorder the coffee. The food was tasteful and I have had better luck on other visits.
I have been to Madera quite a few times. This is the first time, after they got their Michelin star. Food was good, creative, appetizer portions are small. As always plating is beautiful. Every one enjoyed their proteins: the duck breast, my fish and my friend's truffle risotto. Truffle shaving was generous. But this is the first time, I didn't get a customer copy of the receipt. It was after splitting the bill 3 ways. I thought it was suspicious so I snapped a picture of the signed merchant copy. And I was over charged. It was petty because it was just by a couple of dollars BUT it was a disappointing behavior for such a good restaurant. The waiter we had this time at Madera was also the least attentive we had. Service has gone down. He saw him at most 2x over the entire night. Of course the bread, water was filled frequently, and the courses came quickly. The waiter has no idea we visit Madera fairly often. Disappointing.
Food was excellent, service was great!

Here's the story behind Albany's awful (or awesome?) uniforms
Eric Adelson
Yahoo Sports March 21, 2014, 12:44 AM UTC
ORLANDO, Fla. – So about those garish Albany uniforms that got a nation buzzing on Thursday …
The head coach designed them himself.
"The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained after his team scared the daylights out of top-seed Florida, tying the Gators in the second half before losing by 12, 67-55. "Then we started getting hammered."
Hammered not only from outside the program, but from within.
"Not the biggest fan of 'em," said senior center John Puk.
"It's a new look for a lot of people," said associate athletic director Charlie Voelker, trying to sound supportive.
That's OK. Albany and its two-toned purple and gold shorts earned plenty of fans on Thursday with one of the most spirited efforts from a 16-seed you'll ever see.
"A 16 seed is going to beat a 1 seed," Brown said defiantly after the loss. "We wanted to be that team."
The Great Danes overcame a great imbalance before nearly overcoming a ferocious opponent. They played three games in six nights to get here, including a play-in victory on Tuesday in Dayton over Mount St. Mary's. Then they got on a 12:40 a.m. flight and landed in Gator Country nearly three hours later. Several players had trouble sleeping. The whole thing was so rushed that Puk's postgame meal was a salad on a bus ride, with no dressing and no silverware. He ate lettuce with his fingers.
"It's been a stretch," Puk said. "Tough week."
[NCAA tournament: Full bracket | Check out Instant Reactions | Buy team gear]
Let's call it what it is: unfair. The Great Danes had to go through an equivalent of the Amazing Race just to go up against the best team in the country in its own backyard. Albany didn't even have time to get on a court between Tuesday's play-in game and Thursday's second-round battle in front of a sea of orange and blue Gator chompers.
Brown had to duct tape a makeshift court in the team's hotel ballroom, with trash cans serving as baskets. It was straight out of "Hoosiers," except those guys didn't have to leave the state. Florida's 2012-13 basketball revenue was $13.39 million, according to University of Miami professor Alicia Jessop, compared to $1.72 million for Albany.
No excuses, though. None. "If they made us play every day," Brown said. "We'd play every day."
It's just that they had to play against the likes of Michael Frazier, who the Danes referred to as "Jesus Shuttlesworth" because of his unstoppable jumper, and Patric Young, who is 6-foot-9, 240 pounds and looks like he should be blocking at the Swamp.
"If he doesn't play in the NBA, he should play in the NFL," Brown quipped. "If he doesn't play in the NFL, he should be in the WWE. If he doesn't get into the WWE, he should go to UFC. D.J. came up to his kneecap."
D.J. is D.J. Evans, all 5-9, 175 pounds of him, who led the Danes to the brink of an upset that would have made them household names for life. Evans was knocked to the court twice in wince-inducing hits, and got up to lead his team from the point as if he just took off his warm-ups. He walked into the postgame media conference with a huge ice bag on his elbow – not often you see that in March Madness – and he declared he thought his guys were in the game from the start. They were. You could feel the air go out of the home crowd early in the second half, and you could feel breath being held all over the country as brackets were ready to burn. It's a little disheartening to wonder what might have happened if Albany had the appropriate rest leading up to the game.
"We kept them off-balance," Brown said. "But we ran out of gas."
One of these days, a bottom seed is going to beat a top seed in this tournament. A recent rash of 15-over-2 upsets makes something impossible seem ever more fathomable. We can only hope that landmark team will be a team like Albany, with its plucky style and funky threads.
If it is , it might not be Albany in the two-toned shorts. Brown said he's "one and done" in fashion design. He's going to let someone else do the jerseys in the future. Asked after the game if he thought he was Calvin Klein, the coach joked that he's "more like Buster Brown."
He's being too harsh. For a little while there, the purple-and-gold shorts were the coolest drawers in the country. Those colors stand for Albany, and especially after Thursday, they stand for pride.

Having spent a quarter of a century chasing amateur theatre groups across their stages, I have long realised that a classic modern play to escape me was Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Until earlier this year, I have not even been aware of its production by any amateurs – largely because there is always so much professional interest in it and this is liable to curtail the ability of amateurs to give it a try.
Rights holder Samuel French reports that there were just16 amateur productions last year and approval has been given this year for just over a dozen.
A spokesman said: "There are always restrictions on amateurs because it is very popular with professionals – and the professionals can decide whether they want an amateur production to go ahead.
But it seems as if the dam in the West Midlands has now been breached, at least for the time being.
In March, I saw Dudley Little Theatre's Virginia Woolf production at Netherton Arts Centre – and now the Up 'n' Running Theatre Company is about to give it a brief fling at Bromsgrove's Artrix Theatre.
On Sunday afternoon and Monday evening – the group will unveil this 1962 story of a professor and his wife who inveigle a young couple into their daunting and alcohol-fuelled power games.
* One of life's niceties that goes awry, both in amateur and professional productions, is the unconsidered art of drinking champagne and white wine.
Whenever I hear the unconvincing pop of a champagne bottle that has had its original contents replaced by a lookalike, I know what is going to follow.
Lots of jolly imbibers will hold the upper sections of their falsely-primed flutes – thus warming the sham champagne.
This even happens in Noel Coward's drawing-room comedies, set in a period when the upper-middle classes understood the right way to treat their bubbly was to hold the stem.

Damascus, SANA- Speaker of the People's Assembly Hammoudeh Sabbagh said that western media outlets are still circulating misleading lies on the crisis in Syria.
Sabbagh remarks came during a meeting with German parliamentary delegation, headed by Dr. Christian Blex on Monday.
He said that Syria is determined to fight terrorism and it seeks to boost national reconciliations, pointing that solidarity of the Syrian people with the army and its leadership is the basis of steadfastness in confronting terrorism.
Sabbagh called for lifting the unilateral coercive measures imposed on the Syrian people by western countries.
For his part, head of the delegation, Blex said that the delegation's visit aims to have a closer look at the situation in Syria.
In a relevant context, Grand Mufti of the Republic Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun met the parliamentary delegation, affirming that Syria has been targeted because it is the only secular state in the region and the symbol of the civilized nation.
The war against terrorism in the country has come to an end and the reconstruction process has started in all areas liberated from terrorism as thousands of factories have resumed production, Hassoun said.
He called on the delegation's members to convey the reality of what is happening in Syria, especially as the western media outlets tried to influence in the western public opinion through misleading the current events in the country.

Oakland students receive $2.5 million in college scholarships
By Kate Larsen
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Thanks to a bold promise, 400 Oakland public school seniors are graduating and headed to college.
"We are Oakland's promise," chanted the auditorium full of students at Oakland's Scottish Rite Center Tuesday night.
"I graduated top of my class," said student speaker Jorge Rosas to a room full of cheers.
As a senior at Oakland's Military Insitute, Rosas was the commander of the 700 person student body and is now headed to UC Berkeley in the fall. The scholarship is especially meaningful to his parents, who were new to the U.S. and homeless, while Jorge's mother was pregnant with him.
"They wanted to make sure that when I was born, that I would have the resources needed and ready for me so that I could become successful."
Newly merged nonprofits, Oakland Promise and East Bay College Fund, pledged to support every child in Oakland from birth to college graduation. They are awarding this year's students $2.5 million dollars in scholarships.
Thanks to the scholarship money, about $2,000 a year, the students say they'll be able to pay for college necessities, like textbooks, meal plans and housing.
"Our family is not able to afford college, because college is super expensive, so this definitely puts a little bit of weight off our shoulders," said Angela Drake, who was born in Oakland and raised by her mother and grandmother.
Drake just graduated from Castlemont High School and is now headed to her dream school, UC Davis. But she says that is not the path that all her peers took.
"Oakland, you think about graduating and getting straight to work, a lot of people do that, that's just kind of the culture, especially at Castlemont. It was really hard, but you have to know what journey you're on and what path you're on and not worry about the path that other people are taking."
This year, 35 students will receive scholarships from Warriors Head Coach, Steve Kerr, who donated his speaking fees to the non-profit.
Oakland High graduate, Khirah McCoy, is especially excited about the Warrior's connection. She played basketball on Oakland High's state championship basketball team and said, "if the Warrior's win, we get to all have a parade with them!"
McCoy was born and raised in Oakland and is the first in her family to attend college. She says her younger siblings look up to her, especially as she heads off to San Francisco State.
"They told me that if it wasn't for me getting good grades or playing basketball, that they wouldn't be on the path that they're on."
McCoy says she received a lot of support from people throughout her high school career and hopes that others will seek the same support.
"Find that mentor or person you look up to and also find help outside of school, like at a student center or after-school advisor. Never give up and always look to someone you look up to, to help you," wise words from 17-year-old McCoy.

It's free, which is great. It doesn't really add a lot in terms of the world or story, but if you just want to read a little bit more, it's good for that purpose. I typically love novellas but don't find this one to be a necessary read. If you are a die hard fan of the story, then downloaded it for free. There's nothing to lose, so you can give it a try and decide for yourself.

Brent Batten: Thrillist.com says Florida is worst state, and here is why

So, Thrillist.com has rated Florida dead last in its "Definitive and Final Ranking of All 50 States."
Using criteria including "inventions, food/drink, somewhat productive famous people, unique physical beauty, etc.," the authors say their list is "based on everything."
And while some Floridians may object to the placement, I'm in agreement.
Why, just the other day I was speaking to my mother-in-law on the phone from her home in Michigan, which incidentally was No. 1 on the list.

It was a bit difficult to hear her. I was on the lanai and the kids were splashing around in the pool, making all sorts of racket. Her cellphone connection was kind of bad — I guess the ice storm knocked out some cell towers and power lines. But anyway, I was telling her what a rotten place Florida is to live.
For example, the Thrillist authors note Michigan has more coastline than any state other than Alaska. (That doesn't square with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's figures that show Florida second to Alaska and Michigan ninth).
But no matter because what Michigan may lack in quantity, it makes up for in quality. Think about it. Florida's shores are used 12 months a year, with people tracking them up with footprints and building sand castles.

So many people use the beaches that Collier County is thinking of adding a parking garage at Clam Pass. Like Yogi Berra said, "No one goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

On the other hand, Michigan's shores sit unused from October through May, like a classic sports car kept in the garage and out of the weather. Only they're in the weather.
My mother-in-law was so horrified at the life her daughter must endure here that she was ready to come down to rescue her. But the flight was canceled — again that ice storm — so she postponed the trip.
It's always sunny in Florida. Wochit
There is ample additional proof that Florida deserves to be ranked as the worst of the 50 states.
You've heard someone say of a disaster, such as a train wreck, "It was horrible and yet I couldn't look away."
Florida is just that sort of disaster. Millions of people come every year to see for themselves just how bad it is.
Florida officials, trying to put lipstick on this pig, euphemistically call these gawkers "tourists."
Consider that the "tourists" spend an estimated $91 billion a year in Florida, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce and you get some idea of the scope of this catastrophe.
More: Campaign says Collier tourism puts money in everyone's pockets
Only California, ninth in the Thrillist ranking, sees more tourism spending.
Michigan receives about $18 billion a year in tourism spending. It's so nice there that people don't want to go and then be forced to return to their dreary existence elsewhere, I guess.
Not only do people come visit Florida, they are moving here in large numbers.
The U.S. Census said Florida's population grew by 11 percent, more than 2 million people, from 2010-17. Only Texas, No. 11 according to Thrillist, saw a bigger increase in population. Apparently, conditions are so bad here that millions of altruistic people want to take up residence so they can pitch in to help.
Forecasters predict Collier County's population of 365,000 will double in the coming decades, meaning we must be at the epicenter of the debacle.
More: Census: Southwest Florida metros among nation's fastest growing
More: Census: US more diverse, white population grows least
Those new residents aren't just anybody.
Statistics from the Internal Revenue Service indicate people of means are choosing Florida more than any other state.
It isn't even close. In fact, the net inflow of wealth to just Collier and Lee counties is greater than the net inflow of wealth to either Texas or South Carolina, the top two states in wealth inflow after Florida.
If there's one thing that's true of affluent people, it's that they always migrate to the worst places to live.
The fact that Donald Trump spends so much time in Florida further underscores the point. It's good optics for the president to be seen in a disaster zone.
More: President Trump has visited a Trump property on 34 out of his 45 weekends in office
More: 4 Southwest Floridians remain on Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans list
While we miserable denizens of this pitiful state — the president might ascribe another word to it — are golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, birding, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding or windsurfing, we should consider our plight.
Sites such as Thrillist.com put together rankings to attract viewers. It's possible they might include outrageous conclusions to spark interest and discussion. There even might be a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor behind statements such as, "Florida's awfulness résumé is so staggeringly impressive that it couldn't go any other way."
But if we have any decency about us, rather than rail against the eye-poppingly bad ranking from Thrillist.com, we'll embrace it.
We'll send out a warning: Florida is the worst state. Come see for yourself if you must, but be sure to spend a lot of money while you're here. Goodness knows we need all the help we can get.

HomeLatest NewsDo House Dems Want Supreme Court Justices Threatened?
Do House Dems Want Supreme Court Justices Threatened?
Monday's unanimous vote by the Senate in favor of the Supreme Court Policy Parity Act 2022 was unanimous. This law requires security details to be given to "any member of the] immediate family or Associate Justice of the Chief Justice or to any officer of Supreme Court if such protection is required." But despite or more likely because they are resisting the pressure from the House Democrats to pass the bill into law, They may want to keep the Justices intimidated. They do.
Jen Psaki stated that the administration supports protests at Justices' homes. She said Tuesday that she knew that there was an outrage over peaceful protests and that they continue to encourage them. This follows what Psaki told Fox News' Peter Doocy on May 5, when she said: "These activists put up a map showing the addresses of Supreme Court justices." Is this what the President wants?" Psaki replied, "I think that the President's view is that there is passion."
Psaki stated this even though such protests were, in fact illegal. Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, noted Saturday that "Under 18 U.S.C. 1507, it's a federal crime for protesting near a residence of a judge or jury with intent to influence their decisions. This case is still pending." However, any law can only be enforced by the authorities.
Monday night, the Senate sent the bill to the House. The problem is that the House Democrats are so busy. Is there a new bill to combat hair racism? They just haven't got around to addressing the matter. Steny Hoyer, D-N.Y., House Majority Leader, said that Democrats would "certainly look" at the bill, but didn't give any indication of when they might do so. Hakeem Jeffries, the Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus (D-N.Y.), is trying to succeed Nancy Pelosi to the House Speakership. Jeffries stated that the bill was "certainly going to look" at the House Democrats but did not give any indication of when exactly they might do so.
Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that the leading members had not even read the legislation. They are now considering a bill that includes an additional provision that increases the security of the Court's 40-odd Clerks. This provision is sure to turn off Republicans. Who is protesting outside of the homes and offices of clerks? A clerk is most likely the one who started this intimidation campaign. This idea that clerks' houses need special protection is completely baseless and clearly an attempt at removing this legislation entirely.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, pointed out the obvious. "This partisan bill at the House ignores good faith work being done here in Senate to build consensus and expands legislation to include divisive clauses like potentially extending protection to the person who leaked draft opinion." Because the House Democrats have no interest in building consensus and working in good faith, this is because They want unrest. They want the Justices terrorized into submission.
Many firsts will be associated with the Biden administration. This administration was the first to have a dotard for its figurehead, while real decisions were made behind closed doors. This administration was the first to create a fake Oval Office in order to serve its fake president. This administration was the first to prioritize the needs of illegal immigrants over American citizens. This administration was the first to abandon the rule of law to support mob rule. They cheered as Supreme Court Justices were threatened in an effort to scare them enough to vote for what the mob wanted.
Biden would be an American president. He would condemn the House's ineptness and wrongheadedness and demand that this bill is passed immediately to improve security for Supreme Court Justices and their families. He is something entirely different.

Q: Intersection of two forms Follows the Mouse This is the situation:

I want the center of the Intersection part follows the mouse.
What code should I use? (maybe to put it in form1 load event?)
Additional information:
    Form1.Height = Val(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height) + 30 [*]
    Form1.Width = 21
    Form2.Width = Val(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width)
    Form2.Height = 21

[*]
+30 is the width of the taskbar in my windows. I don't know why but Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height does not include total height of my screen resolution (768px).

A: Add a timer to your form and set its interval to 10
    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Me.Location = New Point(0, MousePosition.Y - 10)  'Form1
        Form2.Location = New Point(MousePosition.X - 10, 0) 'Form2
    End Sub

Subtract 10 pixels from the actual position to center your cursor on the intersection itself.
Then on your Form1 Load Event
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
         Me.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
         Me.Height = 21
         Form2.Show()
    End Sub

And on your Form2 Load Event
    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
         Me.Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
         Me.Width = 21
    End Sub

A: You could use a timer:
Public Class Form1

   Dim SecondForm As Form = New Form()
   Dim MouseTimer As System.Timers.Timer = New System.Timers.Timer(10)

   Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
      FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
      Opacity = 0.5
      BackColor = Color.DarkGray
      Height = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
      Width = 21
      StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
      Location = New Point(0, 0)
      SecondForm.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
      SecondForm.Opacity = 0.5
      SecondForm.BackColor = Color.DarkGray
      SecondForm.Height = 21
      SecondForm.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
      SecondForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
      SecondForm.Location = New Point(0, 0)
      SecondForm.Show()

      AddHandler MouseTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf MouseTimer_Elapsed
      MouseTimer.AutoReset = True
      MouseTimer.Start()
   End Sub

   Private Sub MouseTimer_Elapsed(sender As Object, e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
      If (InvokeRequired) Then
         Invoke(DirectCast(Sub() MouseTimer_Elapsed(sender, e), MethodInvoker))
      Else
         Location = New Point(System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.X, 0)
         SecondForm.Location = New Point(0, System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position.Y)
      End If
   End Sub

End Class

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's inner circle trying to enter Turkey, says Erdogan
Suzan Fraser, The Associated Press

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that members of slain Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's "inner circle" are trying to enter Turkey from Syria.
Erdogan also said the number of people with family ties to al-Baghdadi who have been caught by Turkey "is close to reaching double digits."
The Turkish leader's comments were his second effort in as many days to publicize his country's push to catch IS members who were close to al-Baghdadi. Turkey is facing criticism that its recent military offensive to drive Syrian Kurdish fighters from northeast Syria would allow for an IS resurgence.
"All of al-Baghdadi's inner circle is mostly targeting our country and these people are looking for ways to settle in our country or to come to our country," Erdogan told reporters.
Erdogan and Turkish officials revealed Wednesday that Turkish police detained one of al-Baghdadi's wives and a daughter last year.
A Turkish official told The Associated Press that they were among a group of 11 IS suspects detained in a raid in southern Turkey on June 2, 2018. Police identified the wife as Asma Fawzi Muhammad al-Qubaysi. The official said she was the first wife of al-Baghdadi, who is known to have four wives. A subsequent DNA test confirmed that a suspect who identified herself as Leila Jabeer was al-Baghdadi's daughter, the official said.
Undated handout photo made available by unnamed government sources showing a 65-year-old woman known as Rasmiya Awad, who is the sister of the slain leader of the Islamic State group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. (Handout via AP)
This week, Turkish authorities said they captured al-Baghdadi's elder sister, Rasmiya Awad, her husband, daughter-in-law and five children in the town of Azaz, in Aleppo province in northwestern Syria. The region is administered by Turkey following a previous military incursion that was launched in 2016.

Erdogan said that the suspects were being kept in detention centers in Turkey while the Turkish Justice Ministry would decide how to handle their cases.
Al-Baghdadi blew himself up during an Oct. 26 raid by U.S. special forces on his heavily fortified safe house in the Syrian province of Idlib. The raid was a major blow to his extremist group, which has lost territories it held in Syria and Iraq in a series of military defeats by the U.S-led coalition and Syrian and Iraqi allies.
CENTCOM commander releases video of raid on Baghdadi compound, which now looks like a 'parking lot with large potholes'
The compound — located about four miles from the Turkish border near Syria's Idlib province — now "looks pretty much like a parking lot with large potholes."
Shawn Snow
Also Thursday, Erdogan said attacks continued in northeast Syria by Kurdish forces targeting either Turkish troops or their Syrian opposition allies. That's despite two separate truces that were brokered by Russian and the U.S. last month, which halted Turkey's military offensive.
At least 11 Syrian opposition fighters were killed in an attack on Thursday, Erdogan said, without specifying where or how the attack had occurred.
The Turkish leader said Wednesday that a total of 144 Syrian opposition fighters and 10 Turkish soldiers had been killed during Turkey's incursion into northeast Syria, which began on Oct. 9 and has since displaced around 200,000 people.
