Q: Hamburger Icon not opening Navigation Drawer on parent fragment after returning from child fragment by clicking back arrow on toolbar The app I am building uses navigation drawer android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout and MainActivity extends android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity. I have a parent fragment that is replaced by child fragment. On parent fragment default hamburger icon is properly toggling the navigation drawer. While on child fragment, hamburger icon is replaced by back arrow icon using this snippet
((MainActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
toolbar = (Toolbar) (getActivity()).findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
((MainActivity)getActivity()).setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

On child fragment back button click event is handled on onOptionsItemSelected() and hamburger icon is shown again for parent fragment on onStop().
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            getActivity().onBackPressed();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);
    MainActivity.toggle.syncState();
}

On parent fragment hamburger icon is now showing properly but on clicking it the navigation drawer doesn't show up again.
Could anyone please help on what am I doing wrong?
Here are the relevant files:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
    implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener {

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    try {
        Fragment fragment = (Fragment) ParentFragment.class.newInstance();

        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_content, fragment).commit();
    } catch (InstantiationException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(
            this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close);
    drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();

    NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_view);
    navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    if (drawer.isDrawerOpen(GravityCompat.START)) {
        drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

}

A: I finally came up with the solution. Thanks to this answer.
Here are the changes I made:
ChildFragment.java
public class ChildFragment extends Fragment {
private Toolbar toolbar;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setHasOptionsMenu(true);

    // Show back button

    toggle = MainActivity.toggle;
    toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(false);
    toggle.setToolbarNavigationClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
            manager.popBackStack(null, FragmentManager.POP_BACK_STACK_INCLUSIVE);

            toggle.setDrawerIndicatorEnabled(true);
        }
    });

    toolbar = (Toolbar) (getActivity()).findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    toolbar.setNavigationIcon(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getDrawerToggleDelegate().getThemeUpIndicator());

}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}
}

Calathes, Gators hold off Huskies
Sophomore scores 15 of his 21 in second half to weather Washington's rally
Nick Calathes scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half and No. 17 Florida held off a late rally to beat Washington 86-84 Tuesday night in the consolation game of the CBE Classic.
Florida (4-1) had been in a bit of a slump from the perimeter, shooting 8-of-39 from 3-point range the previous two games. The Gators were much better against Washington, working the ball around for open looks, hitting 11 of 22 from beyond the arc, shooting 52 percent overall.
Florida just couldn't completely shake Washington (2-3).
After trailing by 10 points with just under 5 minutes left, the Huskies chipped away, tying it at 81-all on two free throws by Jon Brockman with 1:23 left.
Walter Hodge followed with a 3-pointer from the corner to put Florida up by 3, then Isaiah Thomas hit two free throws with 50 seconds left.
Calathes and Allan Chaney each hit 1 of 2 free throws to put the Gators up 86-83, and Washington couldn't get the rebound when Thomas purposely missed his second free throw after making the first with 2.5 seconds left.
Brockman had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Thomas finished with 17 points and nine assists, and Justin Dentmon added 17 points.
Chaney and Dan Werner had 13 points each, and Erving Walker was 4-for-6 from 3-point range for 12 points.
The Huskies had trouble with Kansas' zone defense and lost 73-54 in the semifinals.
Washington was much better against Florida, going through the post to get easy shots inside and along the perimeter. The Huskies were 14-for-24 from the floor in the first half and shot 60 percent overall.
Washington just couldn't stop Florida at the other end, particularly Calathes.
The sophomore guard filled the playmaking role in the first half, with five assists while the Gators hit 6 of 11 from 3-point range. Calathes took over the offense in the second half, repeatedly beating the Huskies off the dribble, scoring on a pair of 3-point plays to push the Gators' lead to 76-59 with just under 6 minutes left.
Calathes finished with eight assists.
Brockman faced constant double teams in the first half, getting just six points and four rebounds at halftime. But the constant attention inside freed up Washington's perimeter shooters on kickouts, particularly Dentmon.
Spotting up in the corner and the left wing, the junior guard hit all four of his 3-point shots and had 14 points by halftime.

A Quantum Diaries Survivor
It's a treat to publish today's profile of author, Rob Swigart because I rarely get to feature non-fiction authors on this blog. However, you'll quickly discover that there's almost no form of the written word that Rob hasn't seen to publication in his storied career. In addition to writing, his background includes a 35-year teaching career (university-level), Akido, SCUBA, cello, archaeology, he's a commercial instrument-rated pilot and speaks 5+ languages.
Rob earned a PhD in Comparative Literature from State University of New York at Buffalo and a BA in English from Princeton. He has taught English at San Jose State University and was a Visiting Scholar at the Stanford University Archaeology Center, he worked as a technology journalist and technical writer, and he has scripted computer games, feature film scripts, and a television episode.
In addition to his latest book, Mixed Harvest, Rob's previous books and collections have been published by Houghton Mifflin, St. Martin's, AltaMira, Left Coast Press, BooksBNimble, and others. Rob's poetry and short fiction have appeared in American Poetry Review, Antaeus, Atlantic Monthly, Beloit Poetry Journal, Epoch, Fiction, Foothill Quarterly, Michigan Quarterly Review, New England Review, New York Quarterly, Poetry, and Poetry Northwest. His latest novels include the Lisa Emmer series: The Delphi Agenda and Tablet of Destinies, and he is under contract for the third book in that series.
Is writing a discipline for you or is it more of an escape?
Probably both. Once I figured out that being a writer meant actually writing (duh), I simply started working at it, first as a poet an then as a novelist. I was lucky with my first novel, though. I got an agent and once the second draft was finished she sold it in a couple of weeks. I haven't stopped since, though no book since then has been so easy either to write or to sell, and I have many that are unsold.
You've written nonfiction, short fiction, novels, video gaming scripting, television, poetry, prose. What form did you write first, and how did those different paths evolve? Which of them do you consider your most authentic writing voice?
I wrote poetry when I was six, and stories in high school and college. Then I gave up. In graduate school I returned to poetry and gradually acquired a small reputation and steady publication. I started writing short fictional pieces for fun (and because I was assigned a class that required I teach fiction writing) which became my first novel and sold. The income was quite different from poetry and became a profession, though with a spotty income record. But writing to me was always fun because it was always a challenge. I had studied genre some in graduate school and found it an interesting grounding for fiction. I also blended genres. This is of course a career killer. A career is Sue Grafton. Start at A and write your way through the alphabet, build your fan base, steady as she goes. I didn't do that.
When did you know you were a serious writer? Was there a sort of demarcation or cadence?
John Logan's poetry writing workshops. He was a fine poet and the first person who took me seriously as a writer and nurtured my career.
Why were you called to write Mixed Harvest and how did the idea of the completed book develop?
This is a longish story. I had made a career out of writing archaeology novels published as textbooks, a small but really interesting market. After Stone Mirror I was invited to sit in a series of seminars at Çatalhöyük near Konya (where I was novelist in residence in 2005). The first version of Mixed Harvest was 135000 words, a hybrid blend of fiction and nonfiction no one would publish. Eventually Berghahn gave me a contract, but after a few years a reviewer said the research was out of date. After considering the options I suggested cutting the nonfiction and making it a collection of stories. A reviewer of the final version did a fantastic job editing the book, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It only took 10 years.
How do ideas come to you?
Often when starting a book like the Lisa Emmer series I have only a vague idea, so I start with a scene. There is no shortage of ideas, topics and conflicts to explore. I'm starting one now and have the previous two to reread for background, and a few books to read about corporate malfeasance and Vatican scandals…
For a specific example of ideas, I had finished writing Mixed Harvest and while discussing the themes a friend asked, but what would the world be like if we had not adopted agriculture? To me this was a wonderful question for a thought experiment, so I began a science fiction, or more correctly, a climate fiction novel called Ladybug, now finished. It began with creating a society (a planet really) that backed away from farming and kept a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. The consequences were perhaps over idealized but really fun. Science became more philosophical and mental and far less technological. While it may take longer to reach a deep understanding of how the universe seems to work, it is done far less violently and with far fewer catastrophic unintended consequences. When our social development meets theirs, interesting things happen.
What's your writing practice?
I've developed the habit of writing on my living room couch. Computer is always there are ready with a lap desk. I find I can't play music or have noise in the background. No crowded coffee shops. Any time of day, though I seldom write at night.
What presence do your experiences with teaching, music, flying, diving, and archaeology have in your novels? And do you think it's better to 'write what you know', or to write about unfamiliar subjects because you get to research and learn new things?
I love doing research so I often write about unfamiliar things – history or science especially. So yes learning new things. There are always echos of autobiography, but often they are the result of research. For instance, I had an apartment in Paris for several years and use my knowledge of the city in the Lisa Emmer books. Other times I use Google Earth, a great tool for writers. Archaeology has always been an interest (I nearly went to graduate school in classics). One interest always leads to another. In graduate school in English and comparative literature because I like languages, I got interested in city planning and ended up writing my dissertation about the ways urban geography influenced poets who wrote about their city. I have used flying, diving, music etc. as well.
Who has been your greatest inspiration for your fiction writing, and who was your greatest teacher?
I had an English teacher in high school who mentioned at the beginning of a class that if you give people enough detail they will believe anything. At the end of the class he began to enthrall us with talk of a new car engine, quite magical, really, filled with detail. Thereby proving his point. I think that was key. One of my favorite novelists in college was Richard Condon, who wrote The Manchurian Candidate. He used that technique over and over, sometimes to such a ridiculous degree it made for great satire. I was also initially influenced greatly by Charles Dickens, especially in the depiction of character. Other contemporary writers would include Terry Southern, Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler (especially for exaggerated metaphor), Pynchon's V, and lots of others.
What aspect of the writing path/profession do you know now and wish you knew earlier on the writing path?
That's a great question. I'm not sure I have something though. I've followed opportunities and interests wherever they led and enjoyed my life enormously. I doubt I would have stuck to one genre (started with satire, then new age sci fi, then thrillers, then science fiction, then archaeology, then I would say Mixed Harvest is a book of ideas, and now science fiction again. As I said, career killers, but worth it.
About his latest book, Mixed Harvest: Stories from the Human Past (Berghahn Books, 2019): "In unforgettable stories of the human journey, a combination of storytelling and dialogue underscore an excavation into the deep past of human development and its consequences. Through a first encounter between a Neanderthal woman and the Modern Human she called Traveler, to the emergence and destruction of the world's first cities, Mixed Harvest tells the tale of the Sedentary Divide, the most significant event since modern humans emerged. Rob Swigart's latest work humanizes the rapid transition to agriculture and pastoralism with a grounding in the archaeological record."

Katy Perry's single "Roar" leaks online. - Hello! Welcome to my blog!
I saw on the net that Katy Perry's new single "Roar" was leaked online. This is the first track from her new album Prism.
I got it form this site. Sharing this to KatyCat fans out there. Nice beat.


Recently I spoke with Kaitlyn Wylde at Bustle.com. She wanted my thoughts for an article she was writing on the upcoming full moon. Below are my thoughts and a link to her article. Thank you, Kaitlyn, – always a pleasure to work with you!
The full moon occurs on December 22, 2018 at 12:49 pm EST at 0 degrees Cancer just shortly after the Sun's ingress into the sign of Capricorn which marks the winter solstice. When the sun and moon are opposite each other in the full phase, we may be offered the opportunity of greater reflection into ourselves and our relationships. In astrology the axis of Cancer and Capricorn represent our heritage, things that are familiar and how we may position ourselves out in the world.
Often the full moon is a time of culmination or harvest, a time to enjoy the bounty of our deeds.
The full moon on December 22 may offer us a time to let go of the past as we birth a new future. As the god of Light, the Sun, marks the winter solstice, it is a time of year marked by a celebration of new life (Christmas) and the opportunity for future growth. It is the passing of the old and the birthing of the new.
The full moon on December 22, in conjunction with the winter solstice may offer many of us the emotional strength and motivation to let go of our fears and insecurities. It may be a time to follow our instinct and to set new goals. It is a time to leave the past behind and to build a new reality.

Today, 11/13/18, marks the 23rd anniversary since developing Cervical Dystonia. In the past I have shared my story which you may read on my blog.
Living with dystonia has not always been an easy journey. The physical and emotional struggle may be overwhelming on days, yet dystonia has not stopped me from becoming the type of person I wish to Be.
Over the past 23 years I have been blessed to meet, chat with and help hundreds of people worldwide who also have cervical dystonia. My message is of hope and encouragement that 'tomorrow does not have to be as hard as today'.
A main component of healing is 'reflection'. In order to reflect one must slow down and take hold of the present moment. Breathwork is essential in centering the mind and easing the body.
One of the greatest gifts I gave to myself to heal my body from the torture of cervical dystonia was 'to believe, I am my greatest healer'. To me this meant that I no longer wanted to look outside of myself to heal my body. I decided no drug/or meds, no body work from others and no longing for the right doctor or medical intervention to heal me. For me, healing must begin on an emotional and spiritual level to truly heal on a physical level.
It is when I began to turn inward to focus on my life, my relationships, my purpose, my strengths, my failures, my successes, my presence and my being that I began to learn 'why dystonia'.
I began to think of those things in my life that I turned away from and how God, Universe, Spirit redirected my path to simplify my life, allowing me to slow down and to remove myself from unnecessary chaos. It is here where I find the bliss in my new reality.
Many of us long for our 'old life' before dystonia, possibility longing to do something that we feel we no longer may be able to achieve. For some it may mean we must forgo a dream to marry, have children, continue our education, travel, socialize or simply engage in life.
I too long for certain things in my life. Often, I hesitate to pursue a dream because of my dystonia and how my body may react. In those situations, I have learned to ask myself if I would want or be able to pursue the same desire if I didn't have dystonia. Would I be willing to follow my heart to manifest what I believe I longed for? If the answer was 'yes' then no amount of dystonia in my body would be able to hold me back from living my Dreams. In my heart, gut and soul, if the answer was 'no', I have learned to continue on my path with my head held high as I reflect upon the Me I know and want to Be.
Healing from Dystonia is like the movement of thought (the mind) and water (our emotions). It is when the mind and emotions flow in harmony that we can know our worth, engage in reality and transcend the impossible.
Dystonia has been my greatest teacher. Dystonia has led me toward my path to help others tell and shape their life story, to impart spiritual insight and to heal from the cosmic bruise willed upon the soul.

Heather Locklear, known to many as an American sweetheart, has fallen on hard times in recent years. The intention of this article is to provide a brief understanding into the dynamics of Heather's energy, void of shame or judgement. Much of Heather's addictive behavior may stem from co-dependency and a misconception of the meaning between love and relationship.
According to Astrodatabank[i], Heather Locklear was born on September 25, 1961 @ 5:40 pm in Los Angeles, California.
Each of us was birthed into reality to bring forth the energy that was expressive for that moment in time. It is believed that when we take our first breath the Soul incarnates, and that we physically manifest this unconscious Universal energy. The planets, in their systematical orbit, act as a timing mechanism to allow the unseen archetypal energies to be realized.
Whether this energy is believed to be random or chosen, each one of Us is here for a specific universal purpose based upon the synchronistic alignment of planetary movement.
When Heather was born the Sun had just entered the sign of Libra, marking the fall equinox, when the Sun begins its journey southward. The Sun's motion to the Earth reversed its outward visibility, thus offering nature and mankind a time span for renewal and reflection. Those born under the sign of Libra are often driven to witness the self through the collaboration of another, hence the reason why they may be partnership oriented.
On the day and time that Heather was born the Sun was setting in the evening sky. This is quite significant for her in terms of relationships. Heather may feel a constant fear of loss with those she relates to as the Sun – considered our vitality and identity – sank into the underworld just as she was being birthed. This may have set up a metaphor in her life as she may desperately try to hold on people who no longer serve, or are able to serve, her needs.
In ancient times, when the sun descended below the horizon it was said to travel into the underworld which was associated with death, destruction and loss. It was a time of day when the concept of hell premeditated mankind.
The purpose of sunset, thus nighttime, is a time to let go of the day to awaken anew. As the light of day dims and unknown fears dwell within, we may find comfort in ritual practice or ceremony to help ground the body and spirit. In ancient times, mankind would offer praise and glory to the godlike images that appeared in the darkened skies. For Heather without a spiritual practice, belief and faith, she may feel as though life is a constant living hell, filled with simply darkness.
Heather was born shortly after a full moon, this further emphasizes a relationship theme in her life. As I wrote on my blog, in this phase of the Sun-Moon dance, "relatedness to another tends to be a constant theme with a strong desire to pull away from that which is deemed less than idyllic". Through her unconscious actions, Heather may push away what she so desperately fears losing.
Much of Heather's conflict with relationships may date back to the time of conception. It appears that control, anger and harshness was apparent between her parents before she was born. This is witnessed through the sharp angle of the Moon (mother) to the planet Saturn (father) in her chart. The mother may have second guessed wanting a child, in need of her own desire of independence, impulsivity, attention and control. Her father may have felt restricted or limited in this career aspirations without a clue on how to nurture or be responsible for a child. He may have spent much time away from the family. Heather may have pushed hard to be seen and to be loved by her parents whom she felt were not available to her in the way that she wanted them. To be seen and loved, she 'acted' out.
As Heather reached maturity she grew in desire for intense and dynamic relationships, both personally and professionally, as shown in the conjunction of her Sun's ruler, Venus (the planet of love), to the planet Pluto (power, control). She may feel that many of her relationships are destined, yet are extremely possessive, intensely passionate, controlling, life-altering and transformative. This was witnessed through her relationship with Aaron Spelling and her multiple marriages/engagements.
With both Venus and Pluto in the sign of Virgo, and intercepted, along with the polarity sign of Pisces, Heather may be totally unaware of how her pedantic, critical and self-serving nature intoxicates and contaminates her surroundings. Heather may lack self-discrimination with an inability to separate self from another living soul. She may get lost in a world of fantasy and illusion, void of an awareness of physical reality.
Chiron, an asteroid associated with our deepest wounds and longing to be healed, is placed in the 12th house in the sign of Pisces. Chiron is retrograde in an exact opposition to her love planet, Venus. Again, the theme emerges that Heather's greatest sorrow manifests from her perception of that to feel – to feel love – she must feel pain. The hurt penetrates deep within her soul.
Chiron in Pisces and/or the 12th house is often seen in various forms of addictive behavior. The pain of living in a physical body or reality runs so deep that a person may constantly seek avenues to escape or transcend the often-self-imposed chaos and limitations that imprison the soul. Unfortunately, unconscious actions and behaviors may lend toward the mayhem. With this placement of Chiron in the 12th house it is imperative the native shy away from any substance that will alter the mind.
The origin of Heather's pain is played out through the dynamics of her relationships. She may feel engulfed by a despairing need to surrender her soul to another for the sake of being loved. The inner tension and challenge she feels may undermine her self-worth, which she may then project onto her relationships and those whom she loves. With her unyielding belief that she must forego her own desires, wanting others to decide first, to keep the peace, further fuels her anger believing that she is undeserving.
For Heather to release the self-defeating energy and to move beyond the intensity of her karmic and/or toxic battles, a metaphoric and spiritual death must occur for her to emerge anew. By integrating a sense of selflessness, empathy and compassion toward herself and others may allow despair, selfishness and manipulative rage to dissolve.
A practice of spiritual grounding may benefit Heather most if she is willful enough to let go of her limiting beliefs and trust that something beyond her physical reality will guide her toward peace and joy. A first step toward enlightenment is to rid her body any toxic chemical or drug (prescribed or otherwise). She must be able to feel her physical and emotional pain, void of any substance if she is to reenter the reality of being alive.
According to Furiate: "Many of us confuse relationship, or the desire for relationship, with love. Relationship is about 'connection' whereas love is an 'apparent feeling or sense of well-being that permeates the soul'. Both are independent of each other".
Linda Furiate, former TV host/producer of Portraits in Determination, is an Energy Astrologer, Healthy Habits Expert, Celebrity Addictions Blogger & Inspirational Guide. She worked as the Administrator for an alcohol treatment center where she developed her desire to help those struggling with addictive behavior – what she defines as energy out of balance. Her work in Astrology centers on one's emotional needs, family upbringing, plus how and when the addictive mindset is formed.

Nguyen Graduates with Legacy of Helping Advance Allied Community at Nebraska
Student Shapes Efforts with LGBTQIA+ Business Student Organization
After a significant internship, Kennedy Nguyen, senior marketing major from Saigon, Vietnam, now champions inclusive efforts at the College of Business.
Kennedy Nguyen arrived at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln apprehensive about the next steps ahead in his journey. After interning in We Are Nebraska and sharing his experience as a transgendered male, the senior marketing major from Saigon, Vietnam, graduates more confident about his future with strong support from the community he helped start at the College of Business.
"When I was a freshman, I was so nervous. I had no idea what was going on, where to go or who to hang out with. After being a part of We Are Nebraska, I feel like I'm more visible within the College of Business," said Nguyen.
His internship brought students from all backgrounds together to perform their personal stories in a theatrical manner to inspire and educate the local Nebraska community. One of those performances took stage at Nguyen's own college, a moment he cited as a confidence booster.
"After the show at the college, I was able to be more vocal on the topics of diversity and inclusion," said Nguyen.
During his We Are Nebraska performances last year, Nguyen spoke on his life experience as a transgender male.
Continuing his advocacy for change in the transgender community, Nguyen also helped start the new College of Business student organization, Pride in Business. He sees the organization as a place to find a supportive community, which he recognizes its importance due to his own personal experience.
"I really wanted an organization like this back when I was a freshman, and it was tough for me because I didn't see people who shared the same identity with me in the College of Business. When Jasie Beam (Clifton Builders program coordinator) and Kim Smith (associate director of communications, marketing and external relations) reached out asking for my help with the organization, I was hyped," he said.
As the organization's founding advisors, Beam and Smith knew about the strength of Nguyen's leadership qualities within the Nebraska LGBTQIA+ community. They looked to Nguyen and other students for key insight when forming the bylaws, constitution and purpose of the organization.
"Kennedy wanted to make sure that supporting all students was the first priority. He wanted to ensure we were thinking of all types of diversity and intersectionality so Pride in Business could be clear that we actively support and advocate for all identities a person brings into the organization. He really helped push each piece of the constitution to the next level," said Beam.
Beam views the organization as a direct measure to help support those in the LGBTQIA+ community who often face unique challenges.
"Students go through a lot more than just sitting in the classroom, doing homework, and working on projects – that is no secret – so support for students shouldn't just stop there either. Pride in Business helps us intentionally support out and allied students who are interested in business to continue that mission of supporting what makes us all unique beyond the classroom," she said.
From her experience working with Nguyen, Beam recognizes him as a devoted leader on campus, earning the title due to his involvement within several communities at Nebraska. She praises his efforts committed to support those around him.
"Kennedy's advocacy is truly inspiring. He is always the first to jump in and support others, share his story and challenge us to do more. His leadership is evident in every situation I've seen him in and he is going to continue improving every organization or group he is a part of in the future," she said.
Now as Nguyen graduates, he advises students to stick to one of the College of Business guiding principles that helped him during his time at Nebraska.
"After more than three years of experience here at the College of Business, I feel like I've grown a lot. From my leadership to my academic knowledge of marketing, I've been proactive enough to differentiate myself. Just challenge yourself – be humble, but hungry," said Nguyen.

When I first started looking for a lawyer in the US, I had no idea what to expect. I represent an international online retailer from China and we were unfamiliar with the US legal system. An urgent legal message from the plaintiff regarding a trademark infringement case started my search for an experienced trademark lawyer. After calling and speaking to a wide variety of costly lawyers and law firms, I realized that Ted was one of the few personable, professional, and intelligent options that I came across during my search. Not only did he show me that he valued my time, but also my opinion and decisions regarding the case. If you are currently looking for an experienced trademark lawyer for your case, I strongly recommend you give Ted or his office a call and see what they can do for you. 老单

This nursing Best Practice Guideline (BPG) is intended to replace the RNAO BPG Adult Asthma Care Guidelines for Nurses: Promoting Control of Asthma (2004) and its supplement (2007). It is to be used by nurses and other members of the interprofessional health-care team to enhance the quality of their practice pertaining to the assessment and management of adult asthma, ultimately improving clinical and health outcomes through the use of evidence-based practices.
This Guideline aims to assist nurses and other health-care providers help persons with asthma achieve asthma control, thereby minimizing and, ideally, preventing morbidity and mortality and improving quality of life.
Practice recommendations are directed primarily at nurses who provide direct care to persons with asthma across the spectrum of care. The secondary audience of the practice recommendations includes other members of the interprofessional health-care team who collaborate with nurses to provide comprehensive care.
Education recommendations are directed at those who are responsible for the education of health-care providers and they outline the core content and training strategies required for entry-level health-care programs, ongoing education, and professional development.
Organization and policy recommendations apply to managers, administrators, and policy-makers who are responsible for developing policy or securing supports required within health-care organizations that enable the implementation of best practices.
For optimal effectiveness, recommendations in these three areas should be implemented together.

EU Business German CEOs Get Political
German executives are reluctant to take political stances, but in a world of Brexit and Trump, they are standing up for European integration – and their own trade.
Jürgen Flauger
Klaus Stratmann
The business ties that bind.
Peter Terium, the chief executive of energy giant Innogy, could be forgiven a little complacency. Business is booming for Innogy and over the last year, the company has successfully completed a complex spin-out and stock market flotation. Mr. Terium just had his own contract renewed until 2021.
But instead of resting on his laurels, he chose to do something unusual for a German CEO – take clear political positions and stand up for them in public. The 60-year-old executive's hot-button issue is the defense of the European project: he is the main organizer of #We4Europe, a new campaign to support the European Union, which has gained the backing of many top German firms and executives.
The campaign took its first public steps in May, issuing a statement affirming support for ongoing European unification, based on values of peace, openness, free trade, tolerance and cooperation. As well as Mr. Terium, chief executives of eleven other German corporations—including BMW, Deutsche Bank, Lufthansa, Airbus and Volkswagen—signed the statement, which called on people to "stand up for Europe's future, for peace, freedom and prosperity."
Opposing populism requires strong leadership from liberal and democratic elites. Oliver Bäte, chief executive, Allianz
Of course, the companies also have their own businesses in mind when they talk about the EU, a 28-nation bloc ranging from Finland in the north to Portugal in the south and from Ireland on the Atlantic Ocean to Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. Britain's decision last year to leave the group is seen as a risk to its future existence, as more countries could decide to part ways. This may weaken the single market the 28 nations have created over the past six decades and contributed to the region's economic growth. More than half of Germany's exports and imports is done with EU countries.
Speaking to Handelsblatt this week, Mr. Terium outlined his reasons for backing the project. "Innogy is a European company. Europe is the foundation of our business, but this base is ever more under attack," the CEO said. "There is a clear focus on the EU's negative sides. One has to give a counterview. We view the prosperity enabled by the EU as too self-evident."
The Dutch-born CEO made his own commitment to the European Union clear, condemning "those attacking Europe… thus threatening our welfare, our freedom and our open societies." The Brexit referendum, he said, had been a turning point for him personally, a wake-up call: he wanted to use his position to defend the historic achievements of post-war Europe against "enemies" determined to do them down.
Such a clear, combative position is highly unusual for a German chief executive. For decades, the German business community largely operated behind the scenes, functioning via a close-knit network of institutional connections, sometimes nicknamed "Germany Inc." Even today, public campaigning by corporations is rare, generally left to powerful industry associations unless an issue impacts a company in a particularly direct way.
But given the threats and challenges facing Europe, Mr. Terium and other CEOs are beginning to speak out in candidly political terms. According to the Innogy boss, their audience is partly their own staff, but #We4Europe also plans a large public demonstration in Berlin. To say the least, this would be an unusual move. Marches in the streets of the German capital are more usually organized by the country's powerful trade unions.
#We4Europe is just one sign of German business increasingly taking public political positions. This has been prompted by recent blows to the liberal world order, with Brexit shaking the architecture of the European Union, and the election of Donald Trump setting off a new wave of protectionism.
When Angela Merkel visited Washington in March, she was accompanied by the chief executives of Siemens and BMW, keen to build relations with Mr. Trump while also encouraging supporters of free trade in the American capital. Joe Kaeser, Siemens CEO, has at times acted almost as a special envoy to the US administration. When Ivanka Trump visited Berlin, he personally guided her around a Siemens training facility.
More striking than CEO diplomacy, however, is a new willingness to speak out. Since the Brexit vote and Mr. Trump's election, a number of senior executives have warned of the effects of populism, calling for a defense of free trade and European integration. Shortly after last year's American election, Oliver Bäte, CEO of insurance giant Allianz, told Handelsblatt that "Opposing populism requires strong leadership from liberal and democratic elites." In an op-ed for Handelsblatt shortly after, Mr. Kaeser warned that "Populism, nationalism and protectionism narrow viewpoints, promote intolerance and hinder global trade and cooperation."
Companies and executives do not have political responsibility, but they do have social responsibility. Peter Terium, chief executive, Innogy
This was followed in May by the B20 gathering, associated with Germany's presidency of the G20. The event drew 2,500 representatives of business, politics and science in a Berlin concert hall, in a two-day show of support for globalization, free trade and climate protection.
The main sponsors of B20 included Allianz, Deutsche Bank, Bayer, Siemens, BASF and L'Oréal. It was organized by the three largest German business organizations – the BDI, a group of associations covering some 100,000 companies, the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, or DIHK, and the Confederation of German Employers' Associations, or BDA.
Industry groups also backed Angela Merkel after a high-profile speech last month, in which she claimed Europe could no longer rely on America as a strategic partner. At that time, the president of the BDI, Dieter Kempf, accused the United States of marginalizing itself, while Mr. Terium called for a "united, strong Europe" that can "shape the future on an equal footing with our transatlantic partners."
German business leaders' anxiety at threats to free trade and economic integration goes back further than 2016. They were taken aback by vigorous popular opposition to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, a proposed trade deal between the United States and the European Union. Business groups repeatedly made public appeals to politicians to do a better job of selling free trade to a skeptical German public. In one of his first actions as president, Mr. Trump suspended the U.S.–European trade talks.

Alex was born and grew up in the Philippines and migrated to New Zealand in 2010.
Alex was raised as a Roman Catholic and educated in Catholic schools. A few years after getting married, a young work mate (who later became a pastor) got him interested to find the truth and to read the Bible which started his journey of faith.
He joined a Pentecostal/Evangelical church and was baptised on 6 April 2008 and later became a member of the Gideons International in the Philippine. His gifts are as an organiser, planner and to pray for others.
His family started attending at TBC in 2011 and he was a member of the Call Team last year.
He is a professional Civil Engineer, and experienced geothermal engineer and currently employed by Contact Energy at Wairakei Power Station.
I started to walk with Jesus at seven and was baptised at thirteen. In the 37 years I have been part of this church I have worked in most church roles.
In 1993 it was time to walk more with God in the community, and being a teacher I started Lakeland Learning with Sarah Hart for second chance adult learners and was responsible for NZQA assessment and tutor training.
My passion is to see people grow. People of any age, any stage of Christian growth. Now I am a grandmother of 6 children, support people in their leadership roles and twice a year, with Brian my husband, meet with people committed to developing geothermal renewable energy in their country.
The church, that Jesus is building, is really important to me and I've enjoyed meeting with God's people in Korea recently.
Chris is a living example of someone who survived the Charismatic movement and loves to see people enjoying their Christian walk together.
He has served as an elder in Churches in Auckland and Brisbane, and been involved in Missions (India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia), Church and SU Camps, Youth Groups, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, etc.
Chris taught for over 35 years in Auckland high schools and the Education Advisory Service before being appointed as Director of Information Services at Auckland Grammar School. He was given leave to take up a teaching position in Portland, Oregon in the USA where he learned to cook on a large hot plate for a soup-kitchen outreach. After returning to NZ with improved BBQ/cooking skills, he accepted the challenge of leadership in Christian Education when appointed Head of Secondary in an Australian school.
He is a keen hiker, photographer and blogger/writer and enjoys sharing God's Word to encourage others.
Chris and Jan moved to Taupo at the end of 2015 and have three daughters (two in Taupo) and four granddaughters (three in Taupo).

Tim is married to Belinda and they have two children, Hannah and Joseph. They have been members of Taupo Baptist since 1998. Tim grew up overseas and has a wide church background and experience.
Tim brings strong people skills from his work as a GP and business experience in running the practice. He has experience in governance as chair of St Patrick's Board of Trustees for 5 years. He has a deep commitment to the Word of God and has done extramural Biblical studies through Laidlaw for a number of years.
I think we have a tremendous 'church' with so many people really getting in and making things happen. I love being a part of our church and want to help make it grow even more in our vision of not only reaching out to our community but also making everyone feel a part of our family here.

We've Arrived!
The puppy truck's maiden voyage was a success! All arrived safe and sound in Colorado today, just in time for Halloween! Next stops are Utah, Idaho, and Oregon.

New Puppy Truck's Maiden Voyage
Like most things at Guide Dogs for the Blind, this story has a happy ending. As many of you know, Guide Dogs get their start in our kennels at our California campus. They are transported by puppy truck to the homes of puppy raisers in 8 Western states so they can learn good house manners and be socialized in public before they return to our campuses for formal training to become Guide Dogs.
Back in January, one of our puppy trucks got caught in a storm and was involved in an accident when another driver lost control of his vehicle and struck ours. Denny Epperson, who was driving at the time, did an excellent job in keeping the puppy truck upright and minimizing the accident as much as possible, but he, himself, was injured.
Sadly, one of the five adult dogs traveling was killed during the accident. She was a retired guide who was returning to her puppy raisers for adoption. The four other adult dogs, including Denny's active puppy that he is currently raising, and the 18 puppies aboard were not injured. We have many people to thank for getting them back to us, safe and secure.
When our puppy raisers, staff, graduates and others learned about the accident, they pulled together the funds to purchase a replacement. After going through this ordeal, our puppy truck drivers offered suggestions that would create an even safer vehicle for our precious cargo. Our new truck was custom built for us, and today, we happily celebrated the ribbon cutting for its maiden voyage.
Adorning the side of the truck is a large white panel with an adorable photo of six puppies sitting behind a white fence with their paws hanging over the side. The pups look like little angels, but we know the real truth! These feisty little devils gave us a run for our money when we attempted to do the photo shoot. You can hear our squeals of laughter when they continued to leap over the fence every time we were just getting ready to snap the shutter.
Below are several videos:
Video 1 is just 20 seconds and shows the crazy puppy photo shoot.
Video 2 is 2 and 1/2 minutes and is a series of photos from the same photo shoot put to music.
Video 3 is a 2-minute video showing the ribbon cutting and loading the puppies into the truck.
Following these is a series of photos showing the truck being custom built and the interior kennels installed. See all the photos on our Flickr site here.
Thank you to breeding stock custodian and photographer Cathy Gregory for the fantastic photos for the murals, and for her time and energy spend creating the video!
Drivers Lee Shenk and Joe Aguirre will be putting the new truck to good use right away - on a seven day trip to Colorado! If you'd like to see the truck in person, please visit us on a stop along the way. Here's the schedule:

Guides for the Blind Dog?
by Morry Anne Angell and Randall Dunn
Allow me to introduce you to one of GDB's coolest career change dogs, 7-year-old yellow Lab Chapin. Chapin has quite the story. Like all career change dogs, he started life as a Guide Dog puppy, but he wasn't exactly cut out for that job. For example, he has never met another dog that he didn't want to meet... or bark at! He commenced living the life of a very active pet - he's an avid hiker, runner, swimmer, and marathon sleeper. So what makes him special? This dog, who accompanies our family on backpacking and cross-country ski trips, is totally blind.
When Chapin was 3-1/2 years old, he was diagnosed with glaucoma in his left eye. He received the utmost in medical care, and was outfitted with a fancy prosthetic eyeball. And life was normal... for a while. Shortly after he lost his first eye, his second eye was diagnosed with glaucoma as well. It was only a matter of time before he would be completely blind. It was at this point that Chapin was returned to Guide Dogs by his first adoptive family, who we understand were truly devastated, but were overwhlemed with the prospect of caring for a completely blind dog. And that is where he came in to our life!
As Foster Care Volunteers, we started caring for Chapin while Guide Dogs' Placement Department searched for a new adoptive home. But the prospects were slim - not many people want to take a chance on a young and soon-to-be blind dog. As Chapin stayed in our home, it became quite apparent that WE were the ones.
Chapin was a phenomenal dog, and it was obvious that total blindness was not going to slow him down one bit. We played blindfold games with him in anticipation of him losing his second eye, and he could navigate better than fine. After several months we decided to officially adopt him. Ironically, the very morning that we were scheduled to complete the adoption paperwork was the morning he lost all the sight in his remaining eye. We like to think that he somehow knew that he had a permanent home, and it was ok for that eyeball to go. So, he got a second prosthetic eye to match his first, and it hasn't changed his stride. (A note on the prosthetics: he still has his eyeballs per se; the prosthetics are rubber balls that they implant inside the eye after scooping out the insides. His outer eye/cornea remain... hence the protective "doggles" he's wearing in his picture - we have him wear them when we go on hikes or are near cactus or other sharp plants in case he bumps into things.) With the prosthetics in place, we now call him our "blond with implants"! Chapin is a complete trooper, and we treat him no differently than any other dog: he hikes, he swims, he goes sailing/rafting... if we're doing it, he's doing it. He gets to go to work every day with one of us, too - we're all really spoiled that way!
Recently, Chapin embarked on a new career! He was selected by the Pine Street Foundation in San Anselmo to participate in their canine cancer sniffing studies, wherein it has been determined that dogs can detect very early stages of cancer in breath molecules. The research is to determine what it is on a molecular level that the dogs can detect that science can't, in hopes that one day science can catch up. True to form, Chapin loved going to his job - his nose is the best around, so they said - until it got hard! He was let go from the study because he just would rather be petted and fed treats... work was boring! So - he was a scientist for a few nanoseconds, but we still think it's cool.
So, who knows what Chapin's next big adventure will be? All we know is that blindness certainly isn't a barrier to his life!

Catching Up With Brendan
Brendan Pritkin is one of the lucky people who's had the chance to get a hands-on, behind-the-scenes look at Guide Dogs for the Blind. He was part of our Summer Internship Program. We caught up with him recently on our California campus. Give a listen to the 4-minute interview here! (MP3)
When he was a baby, Brendan was cared for by infant development specialist Bette Flushman, who has been a Breeding Stock Custodian for Guide Dogs for the Blind for many years, and is also his neighbor. Today, Brendan dog-sits for Bette's retired GDB breeder Nicola.
It's a small world. We hope you'll share your passion for our program with others!

In this post we're going to take a look at the southern church scam artist working as a pastor named Abraham Kenard. When he got people to write our their checks they made them out to Network International Investment Corporation. A number of southern ministers were scammed by Dr. Abraham Kenard.
For an investment of 3,000.00, the investing church would get half of a million dollars in return.
The scam worked on hundreds of churches in the southern bible belt. In fact, pastors couldn't buy into the plan fast enough. The hook of the scam was that corporations were trying to donate tax dollars to local churches, for the purpose of getting a tax write off. Once the word got out that you could spend 3,000.00 for 500,000.00, they couldn't spend the incoming investments fast enough.


Enjoying Indian summer here in New England is a little like a Friday night; you feel like it is never going to end but in the back of your mind you know you need to make the most of it. I took a bike ride through classic autumn roads, twisty and turny and deliciously fabulous.
Something about the smell of the fallen leaves when the sun hits them is magical. Something about the cool breeze and crisp air. No matter where the sun is, the light seems to be showing off, as if it were dawn or dusk.
Bonus question! Can anyone tell me what type of tree is shown in the last photo?

German folklore (Volkstum) all over the world. The overseas are calling! German expatriates before leaving the harbour.
The picture shows German expatriates leaving to America at the pier. Caused by a long lasting economic crisis it came to mass emigration from Germany. People with their families and their few belongings which they had wrapped in cloth are waiting to enter the boat which is going to take them to the big flagship you can see in the background. Emigration reached its peak in the 19th century. The wide unsettled land of the United States and news of gold finds in California attracted the immigrants.

Preference-based measures to obtain health state utility values for use in economic evaluations with child-based populations: a review and UK-based focus group assessment of patient and parent choices.
Wolstenholme JL., Bargo D., Wang K., Harnden A., Räisänen U., Abel L.
No current guidance is available in the UK on the choice of preference-based measure (PBM) that should be used in obtaining health-related quality of life from children. The aim of this study is to review the current usage of PBMs for obtaining health state utility values in child and adolescent populations, and to obtain information on patient and parent-proxy respondent preferences in completing PBMs in the UK.A literature review was conducted to determine which instrument is most frequently used for child-based economic evaluations and whether child or proxy responses are used. Instruments were compared on dimensions, severity levels, elicitation and valuation methods, availability of value sets and validation studies, and the range of utility values generated. Additionally, a series of focus groups of parents and young people (11-20 years) were convened to determine patient and proxy preferences.Five PBMs suitable for child populations were identified, although only the Health Utilities Index 2 (HUI2) and Child Heath Utility 9D (CHU-9D) have UK value sets. 45 papers used PBMs in this population, but many used non-child-specific PBMs. Most respondents were parent proxies, even in adolescent populations. Reported missing data ranged from 0.5 to 49.3%. The focus groups reported their experiences with the EQ-5D-Y and CHU-9D. Both the young persons' group and parent/proxy groups felt that the CHU-9D was more comprehensive but may be harder for a proxy to complete. Some younger children had difficulty understanding the CHU-9D questions, but the young persons' group nonetheless preferred responding directly.The use of PBMs in child populations is increasing, but many studies use PBMs that do not have appropriate value sets. Parent proxies are the most common respondents, but the focus group responses suggest it would be preferred, and may be more informative, for older children to self-report or for child-parent dyads to respond.
