Thousands of firefighters tried Sunday to shield coastal communities from one of the biggest wildfires in California history while a funeral procession rolled past burn-scarred hillsides in honor of one of their colleagues who was killed battling the flames.Crews cleared brush and dug containment lines above hillside neighborhoods in Santa Barbara County, taking advantage of slightly calmer winds a day after gusts fanned a flare-up that prompted more evacuations."Everything's holding really well," fire information officer Lisa Cox said. "Thousands of homes have been saved."While gusts had eased somewhat, even lower intensity winds were still dangerous, she warned. The fire northwest of Los Angeles was 40 percent contained.Television news footage showed at least one structure burned on property in the wealthy enclave of Montecito, and authorities said damage assessments could take days.Mourners stood on freeway overpasses to pay respects to firefighter Cory Iverson, 32, who died Thursday of burns and smoke inhalation. His funeral procession was scheduled to wind through five Southern California counties before ending up at a funeral home in San Diego, where he was based with a state fire engine strike team. He is survived by his pregnant wife and a 2-year-old daughter.The blaze is also blamed for the Dec. 6 death of a 70-year-old woman who died in a car crash on an evacuation route.The fire that started nearly two weeks ago has burned more than 1,000 structures, including at least 750 homes. Some 18,000 more homes are still threatened.Some evacuation orders were lifted to the east in Ventura County, where the blaze erupted, and officials reported making progress protecting the inland agricultural city of Fillmore.Jim Holden returned to his neighborhood in the city of Ventura to find his home still standing amid widespread destruction. He told KABC-TV that at the height of the inferno, when it appeared his house would be lost, firefighters risked their own safety to retrieve his belongings."They broke in and they saved my family photos," Holden said, wiping away tears.Mike and Dana Stoneking lost their Ventura home while many of their neighbors' properties were spared. The Stonekings planned to rebuild and found some solace after retrieving Mike's wedding ring from the ashes.The 420-square-mile (1,085-square-kilometer) blaze called the Thomas Fire crested a peak just north of Montecito, where evacuation orders remained in effect. Known for its star power, the enclave includes the mansions of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and many other celebrities."Still praying for our little town," Winfrey tweeted. It was not clear if the former talk show host was in Montecito.A portion of the city of Santa Barbara was also evacuated as a thick plume of smoke blew through city streets. At the city's zoo, workers put some animals into crates and kennels to ready them for possible evacuation.While crews on the fire lines got a break from slightly calmer winds, much of the rest of Southern California was buffeted by powerful gusts that once again increased the wildfire risk across the region. The National Weather Service forecast red flag conditions for extreme fire danger through Sunday evening for Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Trees came down after wind gusts topped 70 mph (113 kph) in mountain areas and 50 mph (80 kph) along the coast.Everything about the fire has been massive, from the sheer scale of destruction that cremated entire neighborhoods to the legions of people attacking it. About 8,300 firefighters from nearly a dozen states battled the third largest wildfire in state history, aided by 78 bulldozers and 29 helicopters.The cause remains under investigation. So far, firefighting costs have surpassed $117 million.

Q: Hide app widget depending on API level I've created three app widgets with different sizes for pre Honecomb versions of Android and one resizable scrollable listview widget for Honeycomb and later.
Since the widgets offer the same functionality and the one targeted for Honeycomb and later is resizable I would like to remove the other versions of the widget on API level 12 or later. Is this possible somehow?
As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be any way to disable a widget from getting registered by the AppWidgetService if it can find the AppWidgetProviderInfo resource file. So it seems that I can only include widgets on later versions but not exclude versions defined in xml folders that targets earlier API versions.

A: If it were a single app widget that had pre-HC or HC implementations, you could combine them into one AppWidgetProvider and use res/xml-v11/ and res/xml/ to have different metadata.
The only way I can think of to handle your scenario, though, is to mark some of the AppWidgetProviders as disabled in the manifest (android:enabled="false"), then enable and disable your providers on the first run of your app based on android.os.Build.VERSION using PackageManager and setComponentEnabledSetting(), to give you the right set. Since on Android 3.1+, the user will need to launch one of your activities to be able to add the app widget, anyway, you at least have the entry point in which to apply this logic.

A: The OP already got his solution, but for the rest of us, we can leverage bool values in xml and set them differently in different resource directories.
So your AndroidManifest looks something like this:
<receiver
  android:label="@string/app_widget_small"
  android:enabled="@bool/is_pre_api_11">

  <!-- App Widget Stuff Here -->

</receiver>
<receiver
  android:label="@string/app_widget_large"
  android:enabled="@bool/is_pre_api_11">

  <!-- App Widget Stuff Here -->

</receiver>
<receiver
  android:label="@string/app_widget_resizeable"
  android:enabled="@bool/is_post_api_11">

  <!-- App Widget Stuff Here -->

</receiver>

And in /res/values/attrs.xml:
<resources>
    <bool name="is_pre_api_11">true</bool>
    <bool name="is_post_api_11">false</bool>
</resources>

Then in /res/values-v11/attrs.xml:
<resources>
    <bool name="is_pre_api_11">false</bool>
    <bool name="is_post_api_11">true</bool>
</resources>

Now your API 10 and below will have two app widgets (small and large) and API 11 and higher will have the one resizeable app widget.

Dear Doctor, I am a 62-year-old father of a wonderful 25-year-old son who is finally allowing me to meet his long-standing fiancee's early fortysomething parents. And the venue is a sushi bar with karaoke. What should I sing to dispel any impression of my being an old fart?
Ah, a karaoke showdown. This was a regular pastime during the Doctor's courting days with her husband. Do you go for the safety of the simple, where everybody knows the words and will sing along with you (Frank Sinatra being the king of that particular genre with New York, New York), or do you go for dynamic belters that can melt an audience?
Whichever option you choose, it's always advisable to warm up first, so start with a Chip Taylor number, Dance With A Hole In Your Shoe. It's not quite Lee Marvin, true, but it is low enough to allow a bit of stomach-in-the-throat mumbling.
After a quick Baileys Irish Cream refresher, it's then time to move on to Bob Dylan's Forever Young, which may be interpreted as an ode to the young couple to be, but in fact it's really all about you, and reminding yourself that youth is just a state of mind.
Expect your son's fiancee's parents to go for something by Elbow or Jessie J, by way of proving that they are still on it; but after they've done their thing, bowl them a googly with the Saints' This Perfect Day.
Next, throw in a hit with a number that's both a hip classic and a singalong: the Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go. After that, there's no better finale than Father And Son, by Cat Stevens. There won't be a dry eye in the house.

Q: ASP classic page freeze with querystring containing value "etc.com?v0=%25n" I hosted a page on IIS(Internet Information Services). It's ASP classic.
Hosted on Window Server 2008.
<%
dim x
x = Trim(UCase(Request.QueryString("v0")))
if x= "" then
x="no value"
end if
response.write "
Hello World "& x &"

Tried the following address, in Internet Explorer
Input address :

    "test/sample.asp?v0=%25ABC"

Result :

Result :

Web browser stop working.

Is there any setting within IIS that causes this symptom? or any other causes?
Add-On - 2/11/2015
the actual coding is not really confidential. but its too long to be posted here. But the actual scenario is as follow:
User can search item using a input box type text, then onblur the input is forwarded to a function that call a showmodaldialog.
with the following sample:
javascript

window.showModalDialog("search_item.asp?v0="+input)

the input is URL encoded before sending forward.
The Users discovered that the "%" sign is actually a wildcard.
*don't really know how they found out.
So they have been using it ever since. However since we migrated the site to a
new server. The problem start to occur.
Thus I try to narrowed down the cause of the freezing and discovered that the value send was causing the problem.
I am not familiar with IIS. It could have been a mistake on my part while setting up the IIS.

A: Good day I finally found the reason that is causing the freezing. Its due to the antivirus!.
The antivirus recognize querystring as an instrusion, thus blocking the IP.
Block period is 60 minutes by default. Cant attach picture but the details are as follows
Antivirus : Kaspersky Anti-Virus Suite for WKS and FS.
Security Type : Network Attack Blocker.
Network Attack Type : Intrusion.Win.EasyAddressWebServer.format-string.exploit
Currently looking for alternative to allow specific network instrusion.

Korea, Vietnam agree to strengthen digital, green energy cooperation
Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, fourth from left, and Deputy Prime Minister of Economy and Finance Choo Kyung-ho, fifth from left, among other businessmen enter the Korea-Vietnam Business Forum held at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, Tuesday. Courtesy of KCCI
By Kim Hyun-bin
Business people from Korea and Vietnam gathered Tuesday to strengthen future cooperation between the two countries to commemorate the 30th anniversary of economic ties, according to the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI).
The KCCI held the Korea-Vietnam Business Forum at Lotte Hotel in Seoul, Tuesday, with around 300 businesspeople from both countries in attendance, including Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choo Kyung-ho.
The event was held under the theme, "The 30th Anniversary of Korea-Vietnam Diplomatic Relations, New Business Opportunities and Paradigm Change," and the two countries discussed ways to cooperate in the digital and green energy fields, as well as sustainable future cooperation.
"The trade volume between the two countries exceeded $80 billion last year, and Korea is Vietnam's third-largest trading partner and largest investor. Amidst this deepening economic crisis, close joint efforts between the two countries are needed." Joo Si-bo, CEO of POSCO International and chairman of the Korea-Vietnam Economic Cooperation, said in his opening remarks.
"In order to turn a crisis into an opportunity in the midst of a paradigm shift in the world economy and open up a sustainable future, the two countries must pool their wisdom and passion together," Joo added.
A business agreement ceremony was also held at the forum to strengthen trade cooperation between companies and the governments of the two countries as well as collaboration in digital and green businesses.
"It is true that Vietnam, which is growing mainly in the manufacturing industry, is struggling to achieve carbon reduction measures," said Jung In-sup, CEO of Hanwha Energy. "Korea's energy industry has experience in infrastructure investments and construction, financial investment capacity using pension funds, and solutions for various energy sources such as LNG, solar power, hydrogen, and Energy Storage System (ESS) to contribute to Vietnam's energy transition."
Fourteen individual memorandums of understanding (MOUs) have been signed, including an MOU between Korean Air and Vietnam Airlines on air route cooperation.
"Vietnam is an important business partner that accompanies economic and industrial development and is a partner that will accompany us in the future in a global transition period, including not only economic cooperation, but also a joint response to climate change, cultural and human exchanges," KCCI Vice Chairman Woo Tae-hee said.
"I hope that we can prepare together for the next 30 years across all industries, including digital and green energy, based on solid economic cooperation centered on the manufacturing industry," Woo added.

The short answer is: if your plan is working well, you're looking at about 1-2lbs of weight loss per week.
Now, when most people see 1-2lbs, they automatically think they should be losing 2lbs/week. Or maybe even a little more. That's nice when it happens, but please recognize that if you're averaging 1lb/week, that's right in the sweet spot too and you should be happy with it.
Usually, I'll rephrase the 1-2lbs guideline as: 1lbs/week is our target. Anything above that is gravy baby. And as long we're seeing 1lbs/week of consistent loss, the diet is working (assuming fat loss is your goal).
If we're below an average of 1lb/week in a monthly check-in, something in the diet (either it's effectiveness or your ability to stay consistent) is broken, and we need to fix it.
Weight loss isn't the same as fat loss. You can lose weight by losing muscle, bone density, or by losing a limb in a freak fishing accident. So, if you can, accurately measuring bodyfat percentage is best. It's going to give you a clearer picture of the changes your body is undergoing. Having said that, if you're significantly overweight, the scale is going to tell most of the story. No need to over-complicate things. Track weight on the scale and check the trend.
What About Rapid Weight-Loss Plans?
I know what you might be thinking. I've heard of people losing way more weight than 1-2lbs/week.
Perhaps the most popular example of extreme weight-loss programs is the TV show "The Biggest Loser" where people often lose 7-10lbs (or more) per week.
True, this is possible. But is it desirable?
Extreme calorie restriction programs have some major drawbacks. They work well in the short term. You will absolutely drop weight. But you're also going to be losing muscle, and in the long-run, you can lower your metabolic rate.
That most contestants gained significant amounts of weight after the show, demonstrating that the extreme methods used in the show were not generally sustainable. And if the plan isn't sustainable, we need to seriously question it's long-term purpose and viability.
That the participants metabolic rate (i.e. the amount of energy they 'burn' at rest) had dropped significantly, even six years after the show at the time the article was written. There were also long-term hormonal affects to hunger-regulating hormones, possibly leaving to higher cravings and lower satiety after meals. That means they are less energetic, hungrier versions of themselves. Not fun.
For these reasons, I don't advocate major-calorie restriction for weight-loss/fat-loss.
Learn What's really in the food you eat.
Improving food quality is the first priority if you want to start living with better health, more energy, and improved body shape. Let these videos show you how.
What Factors Influence Your Rate Of Progress?
Your Starting Weight. The heavier you start (the more you have to lose), the faster it will come off. As you lose more weight, your rate of progress will slow. So don't expect the good times to keep on rolling forever! And if you're already starting out pretty lean (i.e. you only have 5lbs to drop), drop your expectations by about 50% or so (i.e. 0.5-1lb/week might be more realistic).
Gender. Typically males have an easier time losing fat, or at least their rate of progress tends to be higher. This probably has to do with the fact that they usually have more muscle mass (which in turns burns more calories), and higher testosterone levels (which promote leanness).
Consistency. You can't expect to see fast results if you're not being consistent with your plan. Nutrition is far and above the #1 factor for fat-loss/weight-loss. Very few people can out-train a bad diet and see good results in body composition.
Having a Good Plan. This follows from the last point. You need a plan that will be both i) effective (i.e. you're making enough change to see a result), and ii) one that you're able to stay consistent with. There are many effective plans that most people quit after a short period. And there are many ineffective plans that are easy to stick to (if you're currently heavier than you'd like to be, then your current routine would fit into this category).
Genetics. Some people seem to have an easier time than others. That's life. It's not an excuse. It just means you've got to play the hand you've been dealt the best way you can.
This seems to be the sweet spot.
It's sustainable for most people, i.e. it doesn't require massive overhauling (usually) of your lifestyle, nutrition and exercise regime.
And it's unlikely to trash your metabolism and long-term health. Sounds decent, right?


A real show stopper this beef tenderloin recipe has wonderful flavors of Tuscany; tomato, arugula, garlic and onions. Tuscan beef is famous for being very tender as the cows are nursed by their mothers and then fed preservative free grass. Here in the U.S. we use filet or often named beef tenderloin for the recipe but feel free to use the famous Chianina beef if you can find it ( in NYC, there is sure to be a butcher that can get it).
This is a terrific dish to impress your guests as it looks like a lot more work than it is. As always my recipes are straightforward and can be done ahead up to finishing the beef in the oven.
1. Cut the beef into 4 even slices.
2. Heat 1 Tb. of the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions over medium heat 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper. Lower heat and cook 30 minutes, until caramel colored, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and arugula, set aside.
3. Heat a medium skillet and add the remaining tablespoon olive oil over medium- high heat. Sear the meat for 3 to 4 minutes per side seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Transfer to a baking sheet.
4. Place the beef in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes depending on desired doneness.
5. Melt the butter in the same skillet and sauté the shallots until translucent about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the brandy and reduce to a few tablespoons over high heat. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce by half and then taste for seasoning. Remove from heat.
6. Mound a serving plate with the onion-arugula mixture. Place the meat on top. Ladle sauce over meat and garnish with chopped parsley.

Drop the "I" Word
Tags: discourse/language, immigration/citizenship, prejudice/discrimination, race/ethnicity, racism, 00 to 05 mins
Summary: This video clip concisely explains how the media's use of the word "illegal" to describe a group of people (often undocumented immigrants) becomes racially coded language and, as such, grounds for hate crimes. This film clip is part of the Drop the "I" Word Campaign; the website offers other resources related to the video clip. I find that the clip offers students a way to explore why the terms "illegal alien" and "illegal" might be problematic and how these terms are applied to certain groups of people in ways that become racial slurs.

See this interesting news story from April 2013 about journalists' approach to usage of illegal, unauthorized, or undocumented immigrants. The article notes "The Associated Press announced it would eliminate the use of "illegal immigrant" entirely. The news agency wrote, "Except in direct quotes essential to the story, use 'illegal' only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.""

Legislation To Level Field For Alabama Equipment Dealers
Neighbors Article
A bill sponsored in the Legislature by State Rep. Paul Lee, R-Dothan, aims to stop the erosion of farm equipment sales, jobs and revenue to adjacent states.
Lee met with equipment dealers outside the Houston County Farm Center in late December to bolster support for HB86, which would remove the 1.5 percent state sales tax from new and used farm equipment and parts. Sen. Tom Whatley, R-Auburn, agreed to sponsor the legislation in the Senate, SB69.
"Over the last several years, we've seen the states of Tennessee, Florida and Georgia remove their state sales tax on farm equipment," Lee said. "We're seeing people one, two and three counties deep all around those borders leaving our state to buy their farm equipment. Not only are we losing sales, we're seeing the potential for people to lose their jobs."
Alabama Farmers Federation State Legislative Programs Director for the House of Representatives David Cole said the tax exemption will help ensure farmers have access to equipment, parts and service when they need it most.
"At harvest time, a farmer can't afford to drive hundreds of miles for repairs or wait days for a part," Cole said. "This bill helps keep local equipment dealers in business so they can serve farmers, create jobs and generate revenue for our communities." By supporting the sales tax exemption, Lee said Alabama can avoid losing millions of dollars in sales and jobs.
"We're already seeing money leave," he said. "Next, you will see these men closing their businesses, and people losing their jobs."
Dewayne Williams, store manager for SunSouth in Dothan, said Alabama sales tax can range from about $1,000 on a tractor used for hay cutting to several thousand dollars for a combine, cotton picker or large, row-crop tractor.
"We lose deals over $200 on a $70,000 tractor, so when you start talking about $1,000 in sales tax, it's easy for them to walk away," Williams said.
Williams said it's frustrating for his sales team to work hours to get the best possible price for a farmer only to see the customer go across the state line because of taxes.
Both Williams and Kyle Hardy, president of Wiregrass International in Headland, said the worst thing about the tax disparity is the loss of long-time customers.
"If we lose the sale of the tractor, that's one thing," Hardy said. "But if a person buys a tractor with a dealership across the state line, he builds a relationship, and then he goes there to buy his parts; he goes there for his repairs. We lose more than just the sale of the tractor. We lose the customer."
Williams and other equipment dealers said the legislation could provide an economic boost to Alabama communities. SunSouth has 12 locations in Alabama, with 24 employees in the Dothan store alone.
"If we weren't losing business, we could probably use three, four or five more employees," Williams said. "It would be a win-win situation if we could get this bill passed."
Glen Gulledge agrees. He recently sold Wells Tractor Co. to Atlantic and Southern Equipment of Dothan, where he works as a sales manager.
"Our goal is for this business to expand," he said. "When we grow this business, we can go from 10 employees to 15-20 employees from this area."
Henry County Young Farmers Chairman Kenny Woodham works for Atlantic and Southern and has 600 acres of cotton and peanuts as well as a 140 beef cows. He said the tax exemption helps his bottom line.
"It would mean more money in farmers' pockets at the end of the year," Woodham said. "It's not a huge rate of tax, but when you consider the amount of money we spend every year, it adds up."

Tenkar's Tavern: Help Save a Cat - Maybe Win some signed DCC RPG!
Got two shelter cats of my own so how could I not support this?
Just sent them a Fiver. I know that feline rescues don't get much in the way of resources unlike the canine ones. My wife and I have worked with large breed canine rescue for decades and nothing beats the kindness of strangers. We once had someone donate a 700+ USD front wheel cart for a mastiff missing a front leg. Nothing asked in return. People can be awesome.
Count me in too. My own shelter cat, Moo, approves.
I love seeing this cause intersect with one of my favorite hobbies. I sent $5, saved from the allowance of the four shelter cats and three former strays that I share a home with.
As soon as my cat Squanto read this he had me immediately go and donate.
$5.00 sent, always glad to help as I can. All three of our cats are rescues or shelter adoptees.
Just donated $10 to the cause.
Sending some pay-pal your way!
Forgot to add my donation in the comment above(for Tavern matching!)... Sent $20 to MysticMousers.
All my animals (cats & dogs...living together and defying the natural order) are rescues. We participate locally with a no-kill rescue also. Causes like this hit me right in the feelz so there is no way I could not help.
I sent $20 to MysticMousers also.
Great cause !! Happy to donate. $25 sent.
I've already sent my matching $50 in the name of The Tavern.
My wife and my two cats both came from shelters or vet rescues. A worthy cause to support without question. $5 sent in.
Another 10 bucks here. I forgot what I donated the first time.

NHS MATTERS!
It's our NHS – the profiteers, privatisers and austerity liars can jog on
Calderdale and Kirklees
West Yorks Integrated Care System
#NHS4All Campaign
Don't Blow It!
July 10, 2018 July 10, 2018 Green__Jenny
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS organisations vague about phased hospital cuts plan
On 6 July, Calderdale and Kirklees Joint Health Scrutiny Committee met for the first time in almost a year.
Last July they referred the hospital cuts plans to the Sec of State for Health and the Independent Reconfiguration Panel, as unfit for the Calderdale and Kirklees public and inconsistent with the proposals that the Clinical Commissioning Groups had publicly consulted on in 2016.
Both the Secretary of State for Health and the Independent Reconfiguration Panel identified key concerns with out-of-hospital care, hospital bed numbers and capital finance. They require the local and national NHS organisations to do further work on these 3 areas by 10th August, to see if the proposals are feasible before a final decision can be made.
The local and national NHS organisations have to keep the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee fully informed of progress with this work.
Calderdale Cllr Hutchinson pointed out that
"The IRP report endorses concerns raised by the JHSC and says out of hospital care must be greatly improved before hospital beds can be reduced. We would need extremely robust evidence that out of hospital care is delivering reductions in emergency admissions – but the National Audit Office report on Vanguards shows that this is not the case. Evidence of reduction in need for hospital beds has to be available."
Kirklees Cllr Stewart-Turner added that the 3 areas review is only the starting point – not the end point of work needed on the hospital cuts plans.
Private workshop
There will be a private workshop for the Scrutiny Committee and NHS Organisations in late July to discuss the proposals, before NHS England and NHS Improvement send them to the Secretary of State.
The Joint Health Scrutiny Committee will also send in a report.
If the Scrutiny Committee can't meet between the workshop and 10 August, the suggestion was that it delegates the response to the Secretary of State to the Co-Chairs.
This would leave the public in the dark about the NHS organisations' and the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee's submissions to the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State will later come back with a response.
Public deputation statements
Cristina George of Hands off HRI and Jenny Shepherd of Calderdale and Kirklees 999 Call for the NHS both made deputation statements, calling for full public transparency and scrutiny and repeating the campaigns' opposition to the hospital cuts.
Jenny Shepherd also pointed out the need to scrutinise any new proposals in the light of continued NHS under-funding, and significant cuts and redisorganisation from West Yorkshire and Harrogate Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (now Integrated Care System).
Cllr Smaje, Co-Chair, said that Calderdale and Kirklees Joint Health Scrutiny Committee needs to understand what's happening in the West Yorkshire area in relation to these proposals and they will look at that.
Neither NHS England nor NHS Improvement bothered to turn up
Cllr Smaje said that NHS England and NHS Improvement had been invited, as the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee needs to hear from them as well as the Clinical Commissioning Groups and hospitals Trust.
Cllr Wilkinson added that they'd invited substitutes from NHS England and NHS Improvement, after hearing that they couldn't attend, but none had accepted.
The Committee agreed to tell the Secretary of State for Health if NHS England and NHS Improvement don't attend future meetings.
Extremely vague update by Clinical Commissioning Groups and hospitals Trust
The Clinical Commissioning Groups and the hospital trust's Transformation Director Anna Basford were vague about their work on proposals for out-of-hospital care, hospital bed numbers and capital finance.
Councillors' questions revealed:
The NHS organisations can't make any cuts and changes while they're still in this process.
The status of the hospital Trust's Full Business Case (that was published after the JHSC referred the hospital cuts plans to the Secretary of State) has not changed. It was approved at the August 2017 Board.
If the Scrutiny Committee has problems with the Full Business Case, the Hospitals Trust will receive and consider them.
In response to the Secretary of State's requirements, the NHS organisations are exploring aspects of double running hospital and out-of-hospital care – instead of simultaneously cutting hospital beds and introducing out-of-hospital care.
This means phasing capital financing. They are exploring the scale and source of finance.
They don't yet know what the phases and timescales are.
Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group Finance Officer said that they can't tell how this phasing might affect the current financial position. Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group said they only have "a high level figure" and have not yet identified the financial impacts of double running hospital and out of hospital care.
The NHS organisations want to explore the risks and benefits from the phased approach and see what is feasible to implement.
Their submission to the Secretary of State/Independent Reconfiguration Panel will answer questions about out-of-hospital care, hospital bed numbers and capital finance as best they can, and identify the next steps towards answering them.
Cllr Smaje questioned whether the same plan, but phased, would address the concerns raised by the Independent Reconfiguration Panel report and the Secretary of State
She asked what discussions the local NHS organisations have had about this with NHS England and NHS Improvement. Anna Basford said they were "seeking to satisfy those concerns" in their response.
Anna Basford has talked about hospital capacity (bed numbers) and financing to NHS England and NHS Improvement, the Clinical Commissioning Groups and senior clinical leaders. She will talk about this at the private workshop for NHS organisations and the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee in late July.
Asked by Paul Cooney if campaigners and the public would be able to attend the workshop, Cllr Smaje said no.
The Clinical Commissioning Groups are looking at the development of out-of-hospital services and will talk about this at the workshop. Carol McKenna, Chief Officer of Greater Huddersfield and N Kirklees CLinical Commissioning Groups, said they need to show how they have moved in the last 2 years since the consultation, with evidence of what new services they've commissioned and their impact, as well as plans for future.
Both Clinical Commissioning Groups said they are in regular contact with Kirklees and Calderdale Local Medical Committees about the proposals for out-of-hospital services.
NHS organisations haven't considered openness, transparency and involving the public
Co-chair Cllr Wilkinson asked how the Clinical Commissioning Groups are going to meet the legal requirement to consult the public and involve them in future plans.
Carol McKenna said that depends on whether the phased approach involves significant service change. If it does, they would bring it to the Joint Health Scrutiny Committee.
Cllr Smaje asked,
"Are you expecting that any of the changes you're proposing will follow the NHS's needs to consult? Or will it depend on scrutiny to decide if it's a significant change or not?"
Anna Basford said they haven't considered those questions and until they've had dialogue with the Secretary of State, they won't know the status of the proposals.
Cllr Blagborough asked how the NHS organisations were going to inform the public about where they are in the process and what the timescales are.
Carol McKenna said this was tricky and they could discuss it in the late July workshop, especially out-of-hospital care. She said they would use the Community networks they have, for one to one conversation and small group conversations.
Many of the community groups in the CCGs' 'community networks' receive funding from the Clinical Commissioning Groups. They are hardly representative of the public and are unable to question or criticise Clinical Commissioning Groups' proposals, for fear of losing their funding.
Clinical safety and robustness of proposals
Anna Basford said that they are looking to clinical advice from NHS England about safety concerns and the robustness of proposals. And later they will involve Clinical Senate.
They completely disregarded the Clinical Senate's comments on the proposals before the 2016 consultation – so why they want to ask them again is anyone's guess.
Penny Woodhead, the chief quality officer for both Clinical Commissioning Groups, said there was nothing to bring forward today, but that if any clinical quality patient safety concerns arise they will review them as quickly as possible.
How can we believe this? The Clinical Commissioning Groups have steadfastly ignored clinical quality patient concerns that the Clinical Senate raised two and a half years ago.

When the two captains go out on the field for the toss on 22nd February, there would be different emotions and different reasons for them, but the aim for both the captains would be the same; to draw first blood. There has been a lot of talk about MS Dhoni's captaincy in the testing version of the game, and he would be desperate to go out and prove his critics wrong. On the other hand, despite having the weakest Australian side since 1980s, Michael Clarke has done nothing wrong. Australia won their home test series against Sri Lanka and thrashed West Indies recently. Both teams are under some major transitions due to retirement of some big players, and it would be interesting to see their approach towards this game.
Since the shocking defeat against England, this is the first time India would be playing the longest format. They've played ODI cricket and results weren't spectacular. The biggest advantage for India is that they are playing in their own backyard with good spinners; having said that, it was the same reason India lost the test series to England. With only Sachin left in what was once called the 'Fabulous Four', there would be a lot resting on his shoulders. Sachin has scored some runs in recent Irani Cup match and is looking good. The biggest problem still lies at the top; Vijay and Dhawan are both too inexperienced to handle sharp quick bowling and Virender Sehwag is planning for a place in middle order. It would not be surprising if Dhoni backs Sehwag to open solely due to the threat he poses to fast bowlers.
With the retirement of Mr. Cricket, all now depends on Michael Clarke. He is the most experienced man on the field and has scored a lot of runs lately. The cause of concern is likely to be spin bowling as they lack experience to bowl at subcontinent tracks. Their batting, except Clarke and Watson, seems to be very thin. Their pace bowling is definitely better than the Indian side, but India has better spinners no doubt. Injury to Warner has raised their concern to another level. Australia has always been a fighting side, irrespective of place and position, and we expect no less here.
As both the teams are going under some major transitions, choosing between the sides has become ever more difficult. Indian side is more experienced than Australia and conditions suit India better. Furthermore, Australia A didn't even pose a threat to India A side which was quite surprising. Australia lack a quality spinner and pace bowling isn't going to matter if pitch is anywhere near a typical Chennai pitch. I'd place my money on home team for several reasons with experience getting the most weightage, and given that the odds seem to favor Australia for some reason, it will be a larger than usual one.


David was a patient during my earliest years in general practice: an otherwise fit man in his early sixties who needed an operation on his ear. The procedure went without a hitch but afterwards David noticed that he was markedly off-balance and developed dreadful headaches. His description stuck in my mind: he said it was if one side of his skull was being "squeezed and crushed in a vice". He illustrated this with his hands, clamping and pressing them against his scalp as he tried to explain.
Initially, I hoped it was something that would settle spontaneously: side effects of the general anaesthetic or the painkillers, perhaps, or some deep bruising that would take a while to resolve. After a few weeks without improvement, I organised blood tests and examined everything my training suggested might be relevant. I drew a blank.
My ear, nose and throat (ENT) colleagues were similarly perplexed when he attended his six-week follow-up appointment. The surgery had been successful, they confirmed, and everything was well healed. They were at a loss to explain his new symptoms.
So began a tortuous process. The ENT surgeons approached the problem from every angle they could: head scan, X-rays, more blood tests, specialised tests of balance. Each flurry of activity was interspersed with interminable periods of waiting for the next outpatient review. Eventually, after many months, the verdict was delivered: they could find nothing wrong and could only suggest I refer David to a consultant neurologist.
A year later, David was no further forward. He continued to complain bitterly of the grinding headaches and the disequilibrium. The neurologist and an ENT second opinion had failed to produce a diagnosis. As so often with "medically unexplained physical symptoms", the spotlight began to shine on the psychosocial sphere – were these symptoms an expression of emotional turmoil?
David was emphatic: he had emotional turmoil, all right, but that was because the bloody operation had left him in pain and no one seemed to have the first idea idea how to put him right. His relationship with the medical profession reached rock bottom and though I tried to support him as best I could, I began to dread seeing his name on my appointment list, so impotent did his case make me feel and so angry had he become.
Eventually, I moved to another part of the country, leaving my first practice and David's insoluble symptoms behind. A decade later, I went in for dental surgery under general anaesthetic. Shortly after getting home, I began to feel giddy and off-balance and I developed headaches that felt as though one side of my skull was being crushed in a vice. I tried various measures but nothing helped. Memories of David inevitably came back to me.
In the intervening years, I had seen a number of perplexing musculoskeletal problems respond to chiropractic treatment where conventional medicine had reached a dead end. I went to discuss my situation with an experienced chiropractor and he knew immediately what had happened: the surgeon, in manoeuvring my head to get access to the back of my mouth while I was under the anaesthetic, had unwittingly deranged the alignment of the bones at the top of my neck. With a few manipulations, my debilitating symptoms melted away.
Since learning this lesson, I have seen several similar cases in which patients can date the onset of back pain or headaches and dizziness to receiving a general anaesthetic. Most doctors are mystified because there is nothing in medical training that teaches us that this kind of thing can happen. To a chiropractor, however, it's unsurprising. If you haul insensate bodies from trolleys on to operating tables – if you twist heads this way and that while the protective neck muscles are paralysed by anaesthetic – you will very likely put vertebrae out of kilter.
I can now direct patients with anaesthetic-related back or neck injuries to someone who can help them. My regret is that I didn't have this understanding when David needed help.

Ibn Al-Qayyim said, "The heart on its journey towards Allah the Exalted is like that of a bird. Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. When the head is healthy, then the two wings will fly well. When the head is cut off, the bird will die. When either of two wings is damaged, the bird becomes vulnerable to every hunter and predator."

The goal of the project was to increase the access to safe and clean water in Rural Damascus (Rhaybeh and Juroud) through drilling new boreholes and rehabilitation of old boreholes to make them functional. The main water networks and pipes were also extended.
Drilling Boreholes – boreholes were drilled and provided with equipment and extension of network.
Water Pumping Test – water was tested within 24 hours of drilling the borehole to ensure specifications were accurate and according to requirement i.e. flow, static head, dynamic head.
Water Quality Test – the team took samples from the drilled boreholes and conducted water analysis which included physical, chemical and biology analysis.
Installing the Borehole Equipment – this included submersible pumps, electric board, electric cable, plastic pipes, rope and NEVO cable which includes sensors to protect the submersible pump when water levels decrease under it.
Water Network – to enhance access of water, networks were expanded from boreholes to entrance of neighborhoods. This means we could provide easy access to sufficient quantities of water.

So when this leaked L'Boogie song hit the internet, you know I was hyped (late, but hyped nonetheless). There have been various Lauryn Hill sightings during her fantastic fall from greatness, most of them leaving fans, like myself, feeling like we just saw Superman after he left that humanizing chamber in Superman II. With her looking disheveled, sounding (by most reports) like she didn't know she was going to perform, and various other reports of…challenges…we've always wondered when the REAL L-Boogie would resurface. There isn't much information on this track but she does manage to capture the same sensibility and qualities that enchanted us on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.
Does that mean this is a leftover track, or a new track? Doesn't matter, the game needs this.
Miseducation is classic, I still spin that all the time. We need a new album…..soon.
Why are people trying to make Lauryn relevant again? She had her shot…BLEW IT, now that window is closed. She can continue to make music, but let's not act like she can rekindle that old flame she had.
Co-sign!! She was definitely good but too much time done past and the game done changed way too much! Them kids are not going to know who she is in 2010. You noticed how a lot of emcees from back in the day that try to make a comeback always flop and kill their career.

Q: client_side_validation install giving error I am following the instructions on client_side_validations install as described here https://github.com/bcardarella/client_side_validations. After adding to the Gemfile and running the bundle command I run the command "rails g client_side_validations:install" as described in the documentation. This is expected to install two files
config/initializers/client_side_validations.rb
public/javascripts/rails.validations.js
However, when I run the command, the client_side_validatins.rb is created but I get an error regarding rails.validations.js as below

Could not find "../../../vendor/assets/javascripts/rails.validations.js" in any of your source paths. Your current source paths are:

The install command is looking for the file and can't find it. Where does the rails.validations.js come from? I tried it with a clean project to be sure and get the same result and can't seem to find anything related in my search.
The client_side_validations gem I have through bundler is 3.0.7 and I am on Ruby 1.9.2p180 Rails 3.0.5.

I have the following codes
  <xsl:template match="br">
    <fo:block break-after="{@break}"></fo:block>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:attribute-set name="page.break">
    <xsl:attribute name="break-after">page</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

A: In the xsl:template that you are showing, the break-after attribute has this attribute value template: {@break}.
This means that the value of @break is going to be used for the value of break-after. If there is no @break, there will be no value (which appears to be your issue).
Look at your XML input; are there br elements with no break attributes (//br[not(@break)])?
Are there really br elements with break attributes (//br[@break])?
What you could do is modify your template to handle both. Output a default value, like page, and if there is a break attribute override your default value with that value.
You don't specify what version of XSLT, so I'll give (untested) examples for both 1.0 and 2.0.
XSLT 2.0
<xsl:template match="br">
    <fo:block break-after="{if (string(@break)) then @break else 'page'}"/>
</xsl:template>

XSLT 1.0
<xsl:template match="br">
    <fo:block break-after="page">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@break[string()]"/>
    </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="br/@break">
    <xsl:attribute name="break-after">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Another XSLT 1.0 option
<xsl:template match="br">
    <fo:block break-after="page">
        <xsl:if test="string(@break)">
            <xsl:attribute name="break-after">
                <xsl:value-of select="@break"/>
            </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
    </fo:block>
</xsl:template>


"F.B.C." which has been operative since 1992, incorporates and develops the experience acquired in more than five decades of artisan production of agricultural machinery.
All machines produced by FBC carry the CE symbol as required by European Union directives concerning safety. Today we can state with certainty that our machines are designed and built to the highest levels of quality.
The CE symbol means "Conformity Essential", which states the the products carrying it are compliant to European Union requisites.

AOC Crushes Phony GOP Claims About ACA
The freshman rep from New York deployed her characteristically devastating questioning in the ACA hearings.
By Aliza Worthington — July 11, 2019
In yesterday's hearings on Capitol Hill about the Affordable Care Act, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her allotted five minutes to lay waste to the notion that improving health care for Americans will lead to some kind of "dystopian outcome." The biggest talking point from those against ACA and Medicaid expansion is that it will lead to "rationing of health care." Well, what they mean is that it will lead to the government rationing out how much health care we citizens can have.
AOC turned that notion completely on its head by demonstrating that under the current system of for-profit health care, we are already rationing how much care we can have — we are just doing it to ourselves, based on what we can afford.
AOC: When you talk about rationing care in a for-profit health care system with no guardrails, where it's the Wild West, where you're allowed to profiteer off of insulin, off of people's lives...How many of you, in your time of being uninsured, or having health care that was too expensive, delayed getting a prescription, or delayed going to the doctor? (Many hands were raised) So you RATIONED your own care, is that correct, Ms. Burton?
MS. BURTON: Yes, absolutely.
AOC: The cost of a for-profit insurance company forced you to ration your own care, correct?
MS. BURTON: Absolutely.
She then confirmed with Mr. Assasi that a key part of the ACA was Medicaid expansion. "This allows people of lower incomes to essential get Medicaid, correct?" she asked. AOC wondered about the states that refused to participate in that, and proceeded to list each state by name after which Mr. Assasi confirmed "Correct" each time. For the record, they are:
AOC: And these are the states that are also, we're seeing a lot of their representation trying to combat the ACA, when they're not even buying into it to protect their own, correct?
MR. ASSASI: That's correct. We're talking about 2.5 million people that do not have coverage because they have not expanded Medicare.
AOC: Why do you think they are doing that?
MR. ASSISI: You know, I used to work with the governors on this very question, and the truth to that answer is because it was tainted as Obamacare. And it was a completely political decision.
AOC: So, people are not getting insurance in these states for political reasons, that's your assessment?
MR. ASSISI: Absolutely
Chairman Elijah Cummings punctuated her time of questioning by saying, "And, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, people are dying."
But this administration doesn't care. The Republicans don't care. They just want to destroy anything that is connected to anything successful created by President Obama. If it hurts low-income Americans, especially Black and brown ones, so much the better. We know from absolutely everything else they do that the only thing this White House and the GOP cares about is money and white people.
