I have a simple hello world int main() {...} in my ../src/ folder.
Please suggest to me how to generate the compile_commands.json file using CMake with VS code on windows.
Thank you!

A: See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS.html
Specifically this Note:

Note This option is implemented only by Makefile Generators and the Ninja. It is ignored on other generators.

Instead, you could write a python script which would generate that format for you, similar to this tool: https://github.com/nickdiego/compiledb
Or, actually, you don't need compile_commands.json. You can define CMAKE_<LANG>_CLANG_TIDY variable to trigger clang-tidy automatically:  https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_LANG_CLANG_TIDY.html

Yasir used to have a reputation. This was when Sound Bites was tiny and on the weekends people would queue twenty deep to have his excellent omelettes and exquisite "Better Than Home" home fries. Because it was so busy, Yasir would yell at you if he thought you were being slow in eating or paying.
It was always a little stressful eating there, but the home fries were so good.
Sound Bites is bigger now. The food is just as good. Yasir doesn't yell anymore. His heart is just as big.


One of the world's oldest tropical forests – Danum Valley forest in early 2019 provided a long-sought discovery: the world's tallest tropical tree, the first tree in tropics and the first flowering plant which is more than 100 m tall!!!
Danum Valley Conservation Area was established in 1995 to protect lush rainforest of the eastern Sabah – one of the oldest forests in the world, existing in this place for more than 130 million years! Most of this forest is a totally pristine natural area with very high species diversity.
Very tall trees in Danum Valley – some 50 trees with a height over 90 m – were discovered in 2016 and were first reported by Mr. Gregory Asner from the Carnegie Institution for Science and Stanford University.
For a while the title of the tallest known tree in tropics went to a Shorea faguetiana tree not too far from the current record-holder – this is a 94.1 m tall giant!
A team of the researchers from the Universities of Nottingham and Oxford in the cooperation with the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership announced the discovery of the new world's tallest tropical tree – a 100.8 m tall giant. This tree was named simply Menara – "tower" in Malay language.
The tree was climbed by the now legendary arborist and tree-climber Unding Jami (Jamiluddin Jami) who in 2016 climbed the former world's tallest tropical tree in Maliau Basin (a bit more than 90 m tall!). He climbed the new world-record holder (among tropical trees) on 6th January 2019 – first shooting the climbing line to a 86 m high (!) branch and then climbing some 3 hours to the top of the tree.
The height of this tree might be close to the maximum theoretical possibilities of biological systems of flowering plants – higher plants simply can not sustain themselves. Nevertheless, specialists are not convinced that this is the tallest tree even in Danum Valley. Thus – new, exciting discoveries can happen!

"At 9am Sunday I can say we haven't had any other positive tests except for those in the Don McCain stable - all tests have returned negative up until when I was last in contact with the laboratory at 9.30pm," he told Racing TV's Luck On Sunday programme.
"I can tell you that in the last three days the Animal Health Trust has done as many flu swabs as they would do in a year. They are working until 9pm at night and working through Saturday and Sunday, they've done a great job.
"I would say we are looking at around 1500 (unconfirmed) samples have been carried out and all are negative so far."
While no more horses have tested positive, including those at the yard of Rebecca Menzies who reported "suspicious" cases on Friday, Sykes was unable to issue an update on when racing may resume.
"We're still in lockdown until we can gather some more information. While it's nice to have around 1500 samples that are negative, it would be nice to have more of them so we get a better idea of what is out there in the general population," he said.
"If we can demonstrate that those stables that ran at Ayr, Ludlow or Wolverhampton are negative we can gather up quite a bit of information and then make a decision on Sunday or Monday about continuing racing."
He said: "In any infectious disease process the hardest decision is the very first one. You can't go back if you make a mistake. If we'd said it was fine and had runners go to 15 other meetings that would have been very hard to control.
"It looks like this virus we've got, Clade 1, is virulent, it's nasty. Cases were reported in Belgium and France last year in non-thoroughbreds.
"They were initially in non-vaccinated horses but suddenly we are seeing it in vaccinated horses which tells us it is able to overcome the immunity of the vaccine."
One of Donald McCain's horses, Raise A Spark, ran at Ayr on Wednesday and subsequently tested positive for the virus and the results of the rest of the Ayr runners could have a big bearing on when racing returns.
"We may not have the results of the Ayr runners, yet. If they are negative we can be much more positive that it is contained to the one yard," said Sykes.
"It's not my decision to make (when racing resumes) it's one for the veterinary committee so it wouldn't be right for me to say.
"If everything came back negative today we'd be looking to move forward and start racing but we need to be confident we don't undo all the good work by saying "let's go racing" if we're not fully confident we've got everything covered.
"There could be a stage where we resume racing but some stables could still be in lockdown, that will be a decision for the veterinary committee. That may be painful for some but it could be a decision that is right for the industry.
"My job is to do what we think is best for the industry."

A rice-loving wild elephant that raids ration shops drives residents of Kerala village up the wall

A rice-loving wild elephant that raids ration shops drives residents of
Kerala village up the wall
A rogue tusker named 'Arikompan' that regularly raids ration shops and eats
provisions is presenting sleepless nights to the residents of Santhanpara
in Idukki district. According to local people, the tusker has attacked a
ration shop around 10 times in the past one-and-a-half years. Now, the
Santhanpara grama panchayat has demanded that the government capture the
tusker immediately.
Antony P.L., who runs the ration shop at Panniyar that is particularly
favoured by Arikompan, says in each attack, the tusker eats atta, rice,
sugar, and wheat. There is a distinct preference for rice, and hence the
name Arikompan (ari is rice, and kompan means tusker). "The shop is in an
old estate building. Over 500 ration cardholders, including families from
two tribal settlements, depend on the shop to get food items. The elephant
would attack any time. I am reluctant to keep the shop open in the
evenings," says Mr. Antony. His shop came under attack at 4 a.m. on
Saturday. The casualty was two full sacks of rice.
People, Houses in Peril
Santhanpara panchayat president Liju Varghese says the panchayat has
written to Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran and the Chief Wildlife Warden
demanding steps to shift the tusker from the region immediately. "The
tusker has destroyed over 60 houses in the panchayat and killed nearly 10
people under the Devikulam range over the years," says Mr. Varghese.
Elephant expert P.S. Essa says the undulating terrain and presence of the
Anayirankal reservoir in the vicinity is a big hurdle to capturing the
tusker. "If the elephant enters the water after being tranquilised, it is
in danger of drowning," says Mr. Essa. The terrain is dotted with small
hills and a sedated elephant can fall to its death from such a mound.
A senior Forest department official confirms the threat posed by the tusker
to the local people. "The final decision of capturing it can be taken only
at the government level," says the official.
Failed Attempt
It was in July 2017 that the Forest department first tried to capture
Arikompan from Anayirankal. The forest officials and veterinary doctor
spotted the elephant, and tranquiliser darts were fired at it thrice.
However, the animal could not be sedated and hence, could not be fitted
with the radio collar. The animal returned to the forest and the team
discontinued the mission. In 2018, the Chief Wildlife Warden issued an
order to capture the tusker, but it was cancelled after a spell of bad
weather, sources say.

Tumri AdPods – a Chitika eMiniMalls Killer?
TumriFounded in 2004, Tumri is based in Mountain View, CA. CornerStore has been rebranded as Tumri AdPods with a major relaunch on May 7th. The AdPod is, according to Tumri, "a complete reinvention of the online ad unit, with a never-seen-before mix of interactive branding, merchandising and customized offer-based advertising, AdPod is the consumer shopping experience interface on the publisher's site". Tired of boring static ads? The key thing is that the AdPod is interactive presenting multiple products and vendors in a single ad unit.
The AdPod offers both CPC and CPA advertising. Publishers can choose inventory from over fifteen hundred merchants that include Amazon, Walmart, Sharper Image, Shopping.com, Target, and Overstock. Publishers make money if a visitor clicks on an ad or, in other cases, only if they actually buy the product. This depends on the arrangement Tumri has with each vendor. Publishers get a 50 percent split of revenue. See Tumri's detailed explanation of how it works.
What about [tag]Tumri[/tag] Adpods vs Chitika eMiniMalls? For now, I can't comment as I just started with Tumri and have AdPods running on multiple sites. However, well-established sites such as the The Photography Blog seem to be favoring the AdPod in place of the eMiniMall. You can also see multiple AdPods on SheSheMe.com.
Rumors are that Tumri will be launching a publisher portal for Europe later this month.
Hurry and sign-up as a Tumri publisher before Father's Day shopping starts. You can see a working AdPod on the sidebar.
Thanks for the writeup on Tumri and using our AdPods on your site! In the interest of full disclosure — I am the Director of Marketing at Tumri.
The European version of Tumri Publisher is live now, please check it out at http://publisher-emea.tumri.net.
We do offer themed AdPods in the Select Tumri AdPod section once you login to Tumri Publisher. We are always open to suggestions for new themes, please send us feedback and suggestions through support [at] tumri [dot] com.

Murphy doesn't flat-out reject Sweeney deal of millionaires tax for more pension funding
Gov. Phil Murphy (left) laughs with state Senate President Stephen Sweeney (center) in Secaucus last year.Aristide Economopoulos | NJ Advance Media
By Brent Johnson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney extended Gov. Phil Murphy an olive branch this weekend: He'd drop his two-year opposition to Murphy's plan for a millionaires tax in New Jersey if the governor pours an extra $1 billion into the Garden State's public-worker pension fund.
Well, Murphy didn't say yes off the bat. But he also didn't say no. In fact, he sounded open to discussing the idea.
Still, new comments from another top lawmaker, state Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, suggest Murphy isn't the only one Sweeney would have to convince.
In his first public comments since Sweeney announced his compromise, Murphy said Monday that he was "very encouraged" by the offer from his fellow Democrat (and frequent foil).
Speaking during his call-in television show, the governor — a progressive who often clashes with the more moderate Sweeney — noted that a millionaires tax is popular in public-opinion polls, even though his fellow Democrats who lead the state Legislature have so far blocked him from instituting it.
"I feel like we're finally seeing that groundswell inside the chamber we've seen in the streets," Murphy said during the show on News 12 New Jersey.
But is agreeing to more pension money — which would likely require steep cuts elsewhere in the budget — to secure his long-sought millionaires tax something he could live with?
Murphy stressed that the state budget proposal he will unveil Tuesday already includes a record payment to the pension fund for the third straight year. Even so, he left the door open to negotiations.
"Am I open to finding more ways to plus that up even further that works for our budget, works for state workers, and works for taxpayers? You betcha," he added.
Bloomberg News reported Tuesday morning that Murphy's budget proposal includes $4.6 billion to the pension fund. NJ Advance Media reported that Murphy is also proposing to cut the cost of public employees' health care by $174 million.
Murphy is expected to once again propose the millionaires tax — a higher tax rate on those with income over $1 million in New Jersey — when he details his third state budget proposal during a speech at 2 p.m. at the Statehouse in Trenton. The plan would increase in the top marginal tax rate from 8.97 percent to 10.75 percent on income between $1 million and $5 million in the state.
The governor proposed the hike in each of his first two budgets to funnel more money into education, transportation, and pensions. The increase would generate about $500 million in revenue to support the budget.
Still, Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and Coughlin, D-Middlesex, were steadfastly opposed in each of the last two years, saying the state was already over-taxed.
But Sweeney told NJ Advance Media this past weekend he's willing to compromise to help the state's troubled pension system.
"We're dying a slow death," Sweeney said. "We've got to get to full funding quicker."
Even if Murphy doesn't agree outright, Sweeney's offer could also be a starting point for negotiations to finally end the stalemate.
Sweeney has also proposed extending a 2.5 percent surtax on corporate income in New Jersey that is scheduled to drop to 1.5 percent this year as part of a gradual phase-out. He wants to ask voters in the state to approve amending the state constitution to dedicate $500 million in state support to NJ Transit that would be partially funded through the 1 percent corporate business tax surtax.
But Coughlin, the leader of the Legislature's other house, would need to go along with Sweeney's millionaires tax and corporate business tax plans. Both the Senate and Assembly would have to approve them.
And Coughlin released a statement Monday that fell far short of endorsing Sweeney's proposals, saying he remains "cautious of increasing any broad-based taxes."
"As we do each year, we will rigorously review all State programs and options to identify savings and efficiencies that will enable us to achieve a fair budget along with spending proposals and revenue sources," the Assembly speaker said. "I am aware the Senate President has advanced proposals regarding a millionaire's tax and an increase in the corporate business tax."
"I'm always encouraged by a spirit of cooperation between the Governor's office and the Legislature," Coughlin added. "However, I remain cautious of increasing any broad-based taxes on an already overburdened state."
Of course, the comments don't mean Coughlin couldn't negotiate with Sweeney and Murphy to find middle ground.

En la imagen, el golfista estadounidense Brian Harman.
The American Brian Harman won his second PGA Tour title Sunday by winning the Wells Fargo championship at the Eagle Point club in Wilmington, North Carolina, U.S).
Brian Harman finished the tournament with 278 strokes (10 under par), one less than his compatriots Dustin Johnson and Pat Perez and two of margin on the Spanish Jon Rahm.
A long putt in the last hole prevented a tiebreaker to which the outcome seemed destined.
This is the second title of Harman, 30 years and that released his record on 13 July 2014 in the John Deere Classic.
With just one impact, Dustin Johnson, world number one, who flirted with victory after hurriedly cleared the cut on Friday.
After making 70 and 75 in the first two rounds, Johnson finished with two laps of 67 to stay a step ahead of what would have been his fourth consecutive title. He could not play the Masters because of injury and returned to the competition this weekend in Wilmington.

OAKLAND – The topic was Richie Anderson.
Raiders' coach Jon Gruden was on a conference call with New York writers marveling at the Jets' multitalented offensive weapon when someone asked him if he's ever seen a fullback do so much.
"You're calling him a fullback?" Gruden asked, sounding incredulous.
Indeed, the word fullback usually describes a thick, lumbering player who blocks for the lead running back and does little else. Some catch passes, but are not athletic enough to make more than a couple yards. Some run the ball, but are not swift enough to be used for anything but short yardage plays.
He's big and strong enough to block extremely well for Curtis Martin. He's a stout enough runner to gain short yardage, but fleet enough to gain long yardage, too. He's athletic enough with good enough hands to be the Jets' leading receiver. And, he's smart enough to handle all of the assignments flawlessly.
Anderson enters tonight's game against the Raiders in Oakland leading the Jets with 64 receptions. He needs eight more catches to set the Jets' all-time receiving record for a running back. Adrian Murrell's 71 catches in 1995 is the current mark. He needs 53 receiving yards to break Johnny Johnson's team record of 641 yards.
"He's a guy that can run the ball up inside, make a physical yard or two," Gruden said. "He can break a tackle and make a long run. You can line him up as a flanker and not know he's out there. He can run a route.
It's not expected Gruden is going to love Anderson making plays on his Oakland defense tonight.
Anderson and Martin enter the game with 116 receptions between them, with WR Wayne Chrebet third on the team with 52 catches.
Raiders' QB Rich Gannon, though fleet afoot with 443 rushing yards and a 6.0-yard average, has been sacked 25 times for losses of 111 yards.

By John Ounpuu Voice Network Badge Voice Network contributor, an ongoing writer for our guest opinion column.
Dunkin' and WW underwent significant reinventions this past year.
When Dunkin' announced they were dropping the "Donuts" from their name this past September, they were taking a page out of a longstanding brand playbook for brand reinvention: new agency, new logo, new creative campaign, new product focus. Congratulations, you've reset consumer expectations and set the stage for a new wave of growth and prosperity.
This approach still has its place. Dunkin's goal was to position themselves as more beverage-led with more coffee and less donuts. The tried-and-true strategy was a great fit.
These days, marketing leaders chasing reinvention are looking inward at their organization, not outward at brand expression. Instead of big public gestures, they're making deep internal shifts across strategy, systems, data, processes, team structure and culture. They're attempting to win by working differently.
These internal shifts come in a few basic flavors. Let's examine some of the most common.
The theory here is simple: Reinvigorate your brand by baking customer obsession into everything you do.
Out-do the competition here, and you'll reap the rewards: happier, more loyal customers and a renewed sense of focus and alignment driving everything you do. Think of it as taking a page out of the Amazon playbook. Their ambition, according to Jeff Bezos' 2018 shareholder letter, is to be "Earth's most customer-centric company." Seems to be working out well for the world's richest man.
Of course, the path here is anything but straightforward. Not nearly as neat and tidy as the new agency, new logo route. In fact, it probably sounds downright daunting. But it doesn't need to be.
These days, marketing leaders chasing reinvention are looking inward at their organization, not outward at brand expression.
There are many layers to consider as you weave customers more deeply into the way you work: strategy, team structure, culture. But you don't have to tackle them all at once. It's possible—even advisable—to start small, building momentum over time until the mindset eventually starts to take root and spread.
Done right, this is actually a variant of customer-centricity, with a particular focus on responding and adapting to shifting customer needs and expectations.
Agile marketing methods, adapted from the software world, help marketing departments keep pace by breaking free of seasonal campaign cycles and working instead in near-real-time. Instead of layers of approval and review, this approach gives teams more autonomy. It empowers them to read signals and course correct quickly.
It's not without risks, though. Some teams can fall into the trap of speed for speed's sake, seeing agile as a replacement for strategy instead of a way to hone and sharpen their strategic focus. Others fall into the trap of giving too much weight to near-term signals and losing sight of the long-term and big picture. I call it "death by over-optimization," and it happens way more than it should.
This option is probably the most common alternative to the traditional brand reset. It's also the riskiest. It's about investing in a new marketing tech stack, often under the banner of digital transformation, and counting on your new tech to give you a competitive edge.
Technology's proper role is to support and enable your strategy, to help you get where you're already heading faster and more efficiently. But when you start with tech, weird things happen. The strategy ends up being defined by the capabilities of the technology. Humanity is siphoned away as the focus shifts to feature sets, APIs and integration points. The end result is often the opposite of customer-centricity, more likely to pull your brand off course than re-energize it.
This isn't to say that technology shouldn't play a role when you set out to revive your brand. It's just a matter of what comes first.
If you've determined that your path to reinvention requires a significant internal shift, take a cue from Jeff Bezos and pursue the path of customer obsession. No reason not to explore agile methods and new tech as part of the process, but starting with a bigger picture orientation toward your customers backed by executive will and baked into everything you do is the least risky path with the biggest potential for impact.

How to Defend a Trademark Cancellation
/Costs /TTAB Trademark Opposition & Cancellation /How to Defend a Trademark Cancellation
Costs/ TTAB Trademark Opposition & Cancellation
What is a trademark cancellation?
A trademark cancellation is a mini-lawsuit filed with the TTAB to attack a trademark registration. Cancellations deal with only registered trademarks, and not pending applications. A third party may seek to cancel a registration in whole or in part. Here are helpful tips to defend against a trademark cancellation.
What court decides trademark cancellations?
Trademark cancellations are typically held before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the USPTO. As a governmental agency, the TTAB has its own set of rules known as the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure, or TBMP for short. TBMP rules govern both cancellations and oppositions.
Unlike lawsuits filed in state courts or federal district courts, there are no court hearings in TTAB proceedings that require personal appearance of counsel. Nearly everything is done in writing. If necessary, the parties may request phone conferences with the TTAB interlocutory attorney assigned to the case. An optional Oral Hearing before the Board may be requested towards the latter stages of the proceeding. Most TTAB parties do not request oral hearings.
Who has standing to cancel a registered trademark?
The plaintiff in a cancellation proceeding, known as the "petitioner," must have a personal stake in the case and a reasonable basis for believing they will be damaged by the trademark registration. Standing is typically not an issue for a trademark owner who alleges likelihood of confusion and priority. For trademarks alleged to be merely descriptive, a petitioner may show standing in their interest to use a term to describe their own goods or services.
Can a mark be canceled during the opposition period?
A pending application that has not yet registered cannot be canceled. Instead, third parties may file a trademark opposition when the USPTO publishes the mark for opposition. During the 30-day window, a third party may oppose a trademark application or request an extension of time to oppose. If no opposition or extension of time is filed during the publication period, the application will progress towards registration.
How to defend against trademark cancellation claims
Preparing a proper cancellation defense requires understanding of the reasons for filing a trademark cancellation. Here are some of the more common grounds for cancellation.
Abandonment / Nonuse
Competitors may seek to cancel a registration on the basis of nonuse and/or abandonment. In such cases, registration owners can build a helpful defense by keeping good records of continuous use of the mark from the registration date to the present.
An owner of an arguably similar trademark, whether registered or unregistered (common law), may seek to cancel your registration on the basis that your trademark is confusingly similar to theirs. Keep in mind that a cancellation claim on the basis of likelihood of confusion and priority must be filed within five years of the registration date.
Generic / Merely descriptive
A party with standing may also seek to cancel your registration on the grounds that the mark is generic or merely descriptive. Such a cancellation claim must also be filed within five years of the registration date.
Informational matter / Failure to function as trademark
The purpose of a trademark is to identify the source of goods and services. It is not to convey information or make a statement. If your mark is on the borderline of conveying informational matter, others may try to cancel your registration on the grounds that the mark fails to function as a source identifier (i.e., as a trademark).
So, what can you do to form a strong defense to a trademark cancellation? A wise strategy for defending a cancellation action should take into consideration legal costs, timeframe and legal positions.
How much does a trademark cancellation cost?
The initial costs of responding to a Petition to Cancel are generally not excessively high. You'll want to budget for:
Filing an Answer;
Conducting the mandatory Discovery Conference; and
Serving Initial Disclosures.
According to our firm's flat fee schedule for TTAB trademark proceedings, the cost for handling the above three tasks would be $3,300 (as of this post date).
After initial disclosures are served, a party may propound discovery requests. The discovery phase is where legal costs can easily get into tens of thousands, especially with responding to document requests, reviewing document production and taking depositions.
How long does a trademark cancellation take?
When a Petition to Cancel is properly filed, the TTAB will issue a trial schedule with deadlines spanning over a one and a half year period (1.5 years) starting from the Time to Answer to the optional Request for an Oral Hearing.
In the fiscal year 2018, the average length of time from the commencement of a trademark cancellation to completion was approximately 140 weeks (about 2.7 years).
What are effective ways to defend against a trademark cancellation?
It should come as no surprise that formulating a smart legal strategy requires close cooperation and good communication with your trademark attorney. Consider whether a fair settlement may be pursued earlier to save money.
Any counterclaims to consider against the petitioner?
Sometimes an effective defense is go on the offense. So consider whether you have valid claims to bring against the other side. If so, you should file counterclaims. For example, the petitioner may own a registered mark which forms the basis of their grounds for cancellation. If their registration has a potential weaknesses, you may need to file timely mandatory counterclaims. Otherwise, you could forfeit the right to pursue counterclaims later.

With your social calendar filling up with special events for the Summer months, you may find celebrations are often dampened by the thought of anyone seeing your naked ears. If this is the case, now is the perfect time to consider earlobe repair surgery.
The "no beauty without pain" is what we tell ourselves when we are left with blisters from a few hours of wearing those uncomfortable designer shows, or that bag that gives you necks pains for the following week. As much as that pain disappears and you then forget about it until the next time, you may find that this is a different story when your earlobe splits after wearing heavy earrings!
What is considered as an earlobe repair?
Split earlobe repair is a procedure where the earlobe has torn entirely through accidental tearing whilst wearing earrings or through over stretching. Stretched earlobes are a result of a tribal piercing also more commonly known as flesh tunnels.
But just when you thought you may have to glue your hair to the side of your head to hide the evidence, we have some good news. Your split earlobes can be a thing of the past with our quick fix here at Aurora Clinics, part of The Private Clinic Group.
Our earlobe repair surgery for both split and stretched earlobes is a minor procedure, where the excess tissue is removed, and the two splits are carefully stitched back together using very fine dissolvable stitches. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and takes between 20 – 30 minutes per ear, (for stretched ears it maybe longer depending on the size of the hole to be repaired) meaning that you will be able to walk out of the clinic and go back to your normal activities on the same day.
The ear will need 4 – 6 months to heal, and there may be a small scar on your ear, that will fade over time. Ears can be re-pierced after 6 months, and this is a service that we offer at our Buckinghamshire clinic with our practitioners. It is advised to visit a practitioner if you had had surgery on your ear as they will be able to assess and advise the best place for your new holes to ensure that your ears don't split again.
Earlobe reconstruction is available at our Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, London and Buckinghamshire clinics.

About Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum
The Mission of the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum is to inspire appreciation and stewardship of the Columbia River Gorge and Wasco County through collection, preservation, and interpretation of cultural and natural history resources.
The building is a 48,200 sq. ft. facility, which won an American Institute of Architects Honor Award for its appealing design. The museum is family-friendly and wheelchair accessible. The Center is situated on a 54-acre point of land adjacent to the Columbia River and the Historic Columbia River Highway. The site provides walking trails, a pond, and scenic overlooks. Its location on the east end of the Columbia River Gorge is an ecosystem transition zone, facilitating the interpretation of both the rain forest west of the Cascade Mountains and the arid region to the east.
PRESERVING, PROTECTING & INTERPRETING HISTORY
Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, located at 5000 Discovery Drive in The Dalles, Oregon, is the official interpretive center for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The area includes one of the oldest continuously occupied areas in North America (over 11,000 years), immediate proximity to one of the largest rivers on the continent, and access to the Lewis and Clark and Oregon Trails.
The multimedia, interactive museum inspires appreciation and stewardship of the natural and cultural treasures of the Gorge and Wasco County. Exhibits focus on the volcanic upheaval and raging floods that created the Gorge, the unique flora and fauna of the region, and eleven thousand years of cultural history. Collections include hundreds of American Indian baskets from throughout the Pacific Northwest, photo archives (partially available on-line), and local genealogical files available in the William G. Dick Library.
Live raptor education programs engage all ages in issues related to habitat preservation.
In addition to touring the many fascinating exhibits, visitors can spend time viewing films in the theater located on-site. Spend a little time in the Columbia River Trading Co. Our museum store offers a unique selection of art, jewelry, educational toys & games, books, DVDs, home decor and more. Many items are created in the Pacific Northwest by area artisans.
The grounds have been painstakingly restored with native vegetation, serving to promote soil and water conservation, and appreciation for the natural landscape. From early spring to late fall, they are graced with ninety blooming native plant species that are adapted to the dry, windblown environment of the eastern end of the gorge. A wildflower database helps visitors identify plants and the interpretive trail focuses on the variety of vegetation and wildlife supported by the habitat along the banks of the Columbia River. You will see willows, cottonwoods, sedges and cattails, as well as numerous varieties of grasses, wildflowers, and other plants native to the Gorge. Songbirds, water fowl, reptiles, amphibians, foxes, and raccoons are some examples of the wildlife that lives here. The handicap accessible trails offer incredible views of the Columbia River and Klickitat Hills.

WOW, One Woman's Words on Weight Loss.
Before I share this little moment of clarity in my life, please understand it's not my intention to label anyone or cause them to feel bad. I'm just venting my personal frustration. We all have unique paths to cross and as a result view things differently. So here goes….
I have never been what you would say "obese." As I'm 5"7'' I can weigh a bit much before I start looking pudgy. When women get older though, we slow down and the weight speeds up. My fear was that one day the extra pounds would catch me and squash me!
I found myself being 145 lbs. I know…. Nevertheless, you have to understand other than being pregnant; I haven't weighed that before. So naturally, I became a little concerned. Maybe, I panicked… Ok. Everybody thought I was nuts!
What's a girl to do when she is the only one who sees the big picture-this year 145 lbs, next year maybe 165 lbs? How many years did I have before I hit 200 lbs?
So as a writer the first thought that hit me was, research. I knew from experience of juggling extra pounds that diets are NOT the way to go. Oh, they all sound good, but every one of them have flaws. I tried the Kellogg's Special K diet. Yes, it's easy and yes; it does work-providing that when dinner time comes you can stop yourself from eating the refrigerator. The only problem I found with that diet is a bowl of cereal 2 times a day with a little fruit in between wasn't real. By dinner time any normal woman is starved or at least thinks she is.
On with the search, there has to be a better way. My investigation led me to find out that the FDA reports that women only need 1200 calories a day to be healthy and maintain a normal weight.
Hum… I though. How many calories do I consume if I'm not paying attention?
Ladies, don't- I repeat— do not; count the calories that you normally stuff in your mouth unless you have swallowed a nerve pill and sitting down.
Does anyone know how many calories are in a McDonald's Mushroom and Swish Burger? (My favorite) Well, those scrumptious sandwiches have 820 calories, not counting fries. That's over half of the total calorie amounts that a woman needs.
OK, let's end this because I could go on and on. We could discuss Pizza, (around 550 calories per two slices) which I have to fight tooth and nail not to eat more than two pieces.
I finally joined a web site called "My Fitness Pal.com." It's easy. You log what you eat every day, and the program counts the calories. When you reach the total calorie consumption, you stop eating. So, off I go.
One note about "My Fitness Pal.com" the amount of calories you have each day is determined by your weight and height. As you work with the program the amount of calories you can eat will drop with the pounds. So you may not have to start at 1200 it could be a higher total, but the overall number will eventually drop to 1200 if you stick with the plan and lose the pounds.
So every day, I log in what I eat. The food packages have calorie serving guides to tell you how much to eat and how many calories you're getting. The Internet helps with the caloric account of other foods. Sure, they're days you may over eat but try to be diligent. Sometimes, I fall off the wagon. I try not to, at least-not very often. This weight loss site has really helped keep me on track. Outside of the Fitness Pal, I have also cut my sugar and bread intake. No, I'm not a phonic about staying away from them, but I have curbed the amount I eat. I now use Stevia to sweeten my tea. Stevia Extract is a natural sweetener; it doesn't have chemicals like some of the other products.
Final results with my struggle (yes, it's a struggle at first.) I have lost down to 125 lbs. With this program, you don't have to exercise, even though it's smart to have a daily fitness routine (I've been called a lot of things- smart isn't on the list). The key is to decide that once you have eaten the 1200 calories you will quit for the day. If you want a bowl of ice cream (130 calories in a ½ cup serving) and don't have 130 extra calories-then promise yourself you will eat it tomorrow. Believe me, you won't starve. How many times did I go to bed longing for that bowl of ice-cream? Don't ask! now though I'm glad I stuck it out. After a while, you get used to counting calories so it gets easier.
Honestly, they're times when I splurge and get my Mushroom and Swiss, but for the most I stick close to the required 1200 calories. I have been logging in my calories at "My Fitness Pal.com for almost eight months now, so watching my calories has become second nature to me. When I'm out at a function, I find myself mentally tallying food before I eat, so I can stick close to the FDA regulated caloric intake.
The fun has been shopping. I still have trouble believing I can now wear a size eight when I once wore a twelve. I like it, and I'll stick to it. With the Lord's help, will find the strength to accomplish the possible.
As I read the other blogs I subscribe to-I'm at awe of them. My blog endowments lack the pizzazz that most blogs have. Oh, don't misunderstand; I appreciate the ability that one has to create a great-looking blog. I'm glad that they're out there. A beautiful blog is like a bowl or ice-cream, good to look at, great tasting, and has ingredients inside that can be helpful.
The blogs of my fellow writers and others are packed with inspiration. They provide a short break, one we all need in our hectic days. Those words from a blogger can enlighten, encourage or just make you think about things.
Anyway, I do my best to fit in with the blogging community, but I accept the fact that my short-coming is blogging; often my blog is an accident waiting to happen! I don't follow any set of "blogging rules," Nor, do I have a strict subject I write about. The pleasure that I get from writing comes about because I let my mind wander. My only exception is when I submit a manuscript or an article to a publisher, that's when the rules must be adhered to.

In a previous post, I explored how smart manufacturing projects need more focus on business impact, not just cool technology. Like all investments, smart manufacturing systems must provide tangible returns in a prescribed timeframe. Many times, they don't—and a big reason is how we engage with technology suppliers.
Legacy procurement processes aren't designed to handle the complexities of smart manufacturing. They assume an equipment purchase that meets specification is good enough. The prevalence of high-tech solutions that fail to rapidly deliver business results suggests otherwise.
In my days at GE, we used Six Sigma tools to identify product performance criteria that were important to customers and we flowed down those criteria to specifications. By designing products with the customer's needs in mind, we put focus on the critical functions that improved performance.
This kind of design rigor is not typically applied to equipment. But it's needed. Some 30 years ago, during Industry 1.0 and 2.0, we had islands of automation that worked autonomously and added value by reducing labor and improving quality. Equipment like multi-axis milling machines were purchased based on the capabilities required, like cutting speeds, dimensional tolerances and part size envelope. If delivered equipment could perform to those specifications, the factory would see benefit.
More recently (Industry 3.0 and 4.0), smart manufacturing systems have become more complex, relying on connections between physical equipment, cyber systems and people. The process of translating business need into delivered system specifications hasn't kept pace.
Simply put, we need more from technology suppliers. Unfortunately, sourcing processes have not adapted as technologies have become more sophisticated. Most companies have sourcing practices that value equipment capability over business performance—number of parts per hour; number of staff needed to operate; amount of electricity consumed; size of part processed. Procurement specifications rarely detail the expected business result (e.g., higher realized throughput, lower total labor cost, improved product performance).
So equipment suppliers do exactly as they're asked: deliver on time, on budget and fully compliant with specifications. Upon fulfilling that commitment, suppliers receive final payment and walk away. But that's when the hard work starts.
Once the operations team takes ownership for smart manufacturing systems, real world variance comes crashing in. Sourced materials have less controlled attributes than delivered equipment can process. Operators have varying levels of capability, skills and attention span. Information systems experience software upgrades that disrupt communications with connected controllers. The result is almost constant debugging and reengineering of the installed system.
Worse, during this troubleshooting period, the new system is not delivering on the investment rationale—the financial impact expected prior to placing the order. Often, the loss in contribution margin (profit on variable cost) during this period can dwarf the cash investment in equipment.
This is why a new approach to sourcing is required.
Most companies have sourcing practices that value equipment capability over business performance. Procurement specifications rarely detail the expected business result.
The typical sourcing process begins and ends with business operations. As the true customer, they define the need (investment rationale) and are responsible for achieving results once the sourced system is operational. Along the way, their need is translated into engineering specs, then request for quotes, contract, designs and finally a physical system.
The owners of each step in the process have their own motives. Engineers are looking to get the best technical solution. Procurement wants the lowest cost, best schedule and most compliant solution. The supplier seeks to deliver a system at a profit. In the handoffs between each group, information about the original need is lost.
For simple equipment, the disconnect from investment objectives is less critical. If the equipment meets basic capabilities, the sourcing process works. However, when the system relies on adjacent business processes to deliver value, the information loss due to handoffs virtually assures a suboptimal solution.
Focus on business performance, not specifications. When engaging suppliers, sourcing teams should modify their success criteria to include business performance objectives. A new smart manufacturing system that reduces low-cost operator labor and, after startup, requires the addition of higher-cost maintenance technicians is not meeting the labor reduction initially expected. It's just shifting the cost from one operational budget to another.
Ensure specifications clearly articulate CTQs. In Six Sigma terminology, the key factors that drive customer benefit are identified as critical to quality. When applied to smart manufacturing systems, these CTQs might be reliability of a critical component (to achieve higher uptime), consistent adherence to tolerances (for improved product performance) or shorter setup time (to allow faster response to customer orders). Specifications should identify these CTQs and inform the supplier—through the specification—that testing will be performed during system commissioning to show adherence to each CTQ.
Improve communications within the sourcing process. Throughout the sourcing process, from need identification through build and commission, there should be strong communications with the operations team—the stakeholder that will ultimately be responsible for meeting business objectives with the new system. If the interconnectivity of the smart manufacturing system relies on adjacent business processes to succeed (e.g., production scheduling, maintenance skill development, etc.), those teams must be part of the design and commissioning process as well.
Incorporate robust design methods. Identifying the sources of variance in operations is necessary, but not sufficient, to develop high-performing smart manufacturing systems. Design processes, at the supplier, must develop solutions that are less sensitive to variations. Some of the design methods that should be required of suppliers include tolerance analysis, failure modes and effects analysis and design of experiments to demonstrate process capability.
Implement enhanced commissioning. Most equipment sourcing processes include some form of factory acceptance test prior to shipment from the supplier's factory and site acceptance test as a final check of capability after installation. Acceptance testing, even in the best case, involves exercise of system functions to a well-defined, yet limited, test plan. The focus of these tests is to demonstrate capability, not business performance. Commissioning services should be part of the system startup process and payment should be withheld until performance is achieved. A better structured contract, would stage progress payments at completion of design, successful completion of factory acceptance test, successful completion of site acceptance test and demonstrated performance capability after commissioning.
Most of my career has been spent on the buying side of manufacturing technology projects. Only recently have I shifted to a supplier role. As a buyer of technology, nothing was more frustrating than making final payment for an expensive manufacturing system only to fight with it for another year before it met all expectations. What I've found interesting, now that I'm working for an industrial system supplier, is that engineering teams designing and building systems are just as frustrated as their customers. They have pride in their work and struggle to understand why their solutions sit idle after final acceptance.
When all participants in a value chain share the same frustration, it usually means there is a systemic problem within the process. And that is the point of this blog post and the one that came before it. It is possible for complex smart manufacturing technologies—whether an enterprise database application or an interconnected shop floor machine—to provide rapid return on investment. But it won't happen if we don't push our sourcing processes to evolve.

Greenbank Railway Station
Enjoy a Marvellous Day Out in Greenbank on the Mid Cheshire Line
John Tackley, Chairman of the River Weaver Navigation Society says:
"The River Weaver has a fascinating history and has played a significant role in shaping Northwich. Visit the River. Enjoy, then tell your family and friends."
In our Marvellous Days Out booklet, John Hulme says:
As a lad, I spent many an hour at Greenbank Station spotting trains.
In those days, it was called Hartford and Greenbank and my memories include helping the porter and sitting in his mess room keeping warm in front of a roaring coal fire.
Who would have thought then the station building would become a Church?
Greenbank is your Mid Cheshire Line station if you want to discover the River Weaver.
The Greenbank Rail Trail in our "Rail Walks in Cheshire West" booklet provides you with a circular route that takes you down to the banks of the River Weaver and through the Marshall's Arm Nature Reserve.
On your walk, you will see in the distance the mighty viaduct which takes the Mid Cheshire Line over the River Weaver and the adjacent River Dane.
Built in 1860 of red sandstone, blue brick and iron it is about 900 metres long with 48 arches. It sits about 12 metres above the Weaver's water level.
Most people who take this walk fall in love with the river but know little about its route and history.
The river rises in the Peckforton Hills, flows south towards Audlem and then turns north over the Cheshire Plain, passing through Nantwich, Winsford and Northwich. It joins the River Mersey close to Frodsham.
To find out more about the river's history and its impact on Northwich and the surrounding area, why not extend the route of your walk and visit Weaver Hall Museum which sits below the viaduct?
If you walk towards the viaduct you will see Hunts Lock. Cross the lock and the Riversdale Bridge into the Crescent and where it joins London Road you will find the Museum.
The Museum was a former workhouse and is a great place to learn about the social, cultural and industrial history of West Cheshire.
There is lots to see and discover and there is a coffee shop and gift shop – and toilets for your convenience!

The Wonderful Musician
There was once a wonderful musician, who went quite alone through a forest and thought of all manner of things, and when nothing was left for him to think about, he said to himself, "Time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither a good companion for myself." Then he took his fiddle from his back, and played so that it echoed through the trees. It was not long before a wolf came trotting through the thicket towards him. "Ah, here is a wolf coming! I have no desire for him!" said the musician; but the wolf came nearer and said to him, "Ah, dear musician, how beautifully thou dost play! I should like to learn that, too." "It is soon learnt," the musician replied, "thou hast only to do all that I bid thee." "Oh, musician," said the wolf, "I will obey thee as a scholar obeys his master." The musician bade him follow, and when they had gone part of the way together, they came to an old oak-tree which was hollow inside, and cleft in the middle. "Look," said the musician, "if thou wilt learn to fiddle, put thy fore paws into this crevice." The wolf obeyed, but the musician quickly picked up a stone and with one blow wedged his two paws so fast that he was forced to stay there like a prisoner. "Stay there until I come back again," said the musician, and went his way.
After a while he again said to himself, "Time is beginning to pass heavily with me here in the forest, I will fetch hither another companion," and took his fiddle and again played in the forest. It was not long before a fox came creeping through the trees towards him. "Ah, there's a fox coming!" said the musician. "I have no desire for him." The fox came up to him and said, "Oh, dear musician, how beautifully thou dost play! I should like to learn that too." "That is soon learnt," said the musician. "Thou hast only to do everything that I bid thee." "Oh, musician," then said the fox, "I will obey thee as a scholar obeys his master." "Follow me," said the musician; and when they had walked a part of the way, they came to a footpath, with high bushes on both sides of it.

The dwarf-sword Tirfing
In a village there lived two men who had the self-same name. Both were named Claus. But one of them owned four horses, and the other owned only one horse; so to distinguish between them people called the man who had four horses Big Claus, and the man who had only one horse Little Claus. Now I'll tell you what happened to these two, for this is a true story.

HRT medication to be sold over the counter in the UK without a prescription for the first time
Thursday 8 September 2022, 3:55pm
Boots will sell one type of HRT without a prescription for the first time (file photo) Credit: PA Archive/PA Images
A medicine used for treating the symptoms of the menopause is available over the counter for the first time in the UK from today.
Boots claims to be the first pharmacy in Britain first to sell hormone replacement therapy (HRT) without the need for a prescription.
The high street chain is offering Gina 10 microgram vaginal tablets over the counter, with a 24-pack costing £29.99.
It will be available, both in stores and online, for customers aged 50 and over who have not had a period in at least a year.
The tablets, containing the drug estradiol, are inserted directly into the vagina, and treat one of the symptoms of menopause, vaginal atrophy.
This occurs when oestrogen levels in the body lead to a thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal wall, resulting in dryness, soreness, itching, burning and uncomfortable sex.
42% of women surveyed by the British Menopause Society said their symptoms were worse or much worse than expected. Credit: ITV Channel TV
Boots is launching the product on Thursday(8 September) and will roll it out across all stores by the end of October. The medicine, manufactured by Novo Nordisk, treats the condition by replacing the reduced oestrogen.
The drug was reclassified from a prescription-only medicine to a pharmacy medicine by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) earlier this year.
'How am I 15 and going through the menopause?'
Before purchasing the treatment, women will have a consultation with a pharmacist to ensure it is the right medicine for them. Online consultations will also be available.
Bina Mehta, a pharmacist at Boots, said: "Oestrogen levels decline after the menopause and can lead to changes in vaginal health that cause uncomfortable symptoms like vaginal dryness and itching.
"Unlike other menopause symptoms, these are usually chronic and progressive and will not resolve without treatment.
"Menopause is a natural process and everyone's experience is different.
The decline in oestrogen and progesterone levels can happen over 10 years. Credit: ITV Channel TV
"I encourage those who are going through any stage of the menopause to come and speak to their local pharmacist for personalised advice and recommendations alongside guidance, where appropriate, on how to optimise HRT treatments – we are here to help."
When the drug was reclassified in July, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare said the move would help address the "significant barriers to health management faced by women."

The organisation, part of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, added: "We are wary of the prevalence of out-of-date and misleading information in relation to both HRT and vaginal oestrogen treatment.
"Therefore, it is important to ensure that product information for Gina does not simply duplicate that of systemic HRT, given that many of the purported risks in systemic HRT do not apply.
"Moreover, since Gina only addresses one of the many symptoms of menopause, women should continue to seek help from their GP or menopause care professional to manage other symptoms."
