Students at St Mary's are keen to be involved in their communities and to give their support to charities.
Several thousand pounds in donations are raised every year by St Mary's families. Fundraising activities are student-led, by members of the Charities Committees and the Senior School Charities Co-ordinator. Lower and Senior School students choose a charity to support each academic year - these are proposed and voted for by the students themselves and are often causes close to the students' hearts. The school also energetically supports national fundraising initiatives, including Jeans for Genes Day, Children in Need and Red Nose Day. International charities are also supported - the school takes an active part in the Mary's Meals' Backpack Project, the Samaritans Purse Shoebox Appeal and the Toilet Twinning scheme, and recently collected more than 70 pairs of old spectacles to be delivered to disadvantaged communities in the Philippines through a local church partnership. Locally, the school is a long-standing supporter of St Helena Hospice and Bernard Brett House, and has recently made donations to the Guest House Project, a winter initiative providing hot meals and overnight accommodation for homeless people in Colchester.
Senior School students chose to focus their fundraising efforts on benefiting The Catherine Bullen Foundation, a West Mersea-based international charity involved in a number of humanitarian projects to help the relief of poverty, sickness and distress and to preserve health in rural Namibia.
Lower School pupils chose to support the local charity, For Daisy and DIPG Brain Cancer Research.
Since 2006, St Mary's has supported the Naz Care Home in Delhi, India, which provides a home for 30 children from all over India who are HIV positive and have no-one else to support them.
Our connection began when a fomer singing teacher took a holiday to India and visited the care home. He was so impressed by the home that when he returned to school he staged a concert to raise funds. St Mary's Head of Music, Mr Hammersley, then took a trip to India himself and personally donated the money, on behalf of the school. The proceeds of every carol service since have been donated to the Naz Care Home.
Following another visit in 2010, Mr Hammersley suggested that St Mary's should formally sponsor one of the children there. The Care Home chose Sahil, a boy who has been at the home since he was six months old. He came from Udaipur, in Rajasthan, weighing only 7lbs, having been abandoned in a basket.
Now 10 years old, Sahil passed the second grade scoring 72%. He is studying in Class 3 at Central Public School, East of Kailash. This is an English Medium Junior School in South Delhi located at C Block, East of Kailash.
He commenced a new academic year in June 2017. Early in the year, his school and tuition teachers had complained about his lack of interest in studies and mood swings but he has improved in the past three months.
Sahil is bit naughty and needs a lot of push for his studies. The children get additional tuition by paid tutors which helps them to do better in their academics. Sahil loves music and is learning to play the harmonium at the Uma Sharma Music Institute at Sant Nagar.
Sahil has participated in school level competitions, both cultural and sports, and won many prizes. He takes part in the yoga sessions enthusiastically.
Sahil is healthy and his CD4 count is normal too. All the children are provided care by the Care Home Doctor besides their regular visits to Anti Retro Viral Therapy (ART) Centre at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
The summer Cabaret Evening, a joint event run by the Music and Drama departments, raises money each year for charity and last year more than £1000 was raised through the efforts and participation of students, their parents and staff, and these funds have been used to enable us to continue to sponsor Sahil.

You are the one who knows how absolutely special fathers are. You made them that way.
So first, Lord, thank You for fathers, for daddies.
yet so soft and gentle when hearts need mending.
even if it must be only by phone.
and new love and appreciation.
Lord, please take care of our dads. Though they are brave and protective, they must also be frightened sometimes, when money runs low, when we need things, when we're hurt or sick.
Lord, when their hearts break because they can't do it all, please help us to let them know how much we love them. And how much You love them.
And Oh, Lord, for those Dads who keep trying and keep loving after messing up so many times, help their children to love them even more in return.
Lord, for that Dad who has lost a child, please let him know You are there, right beside him, for nothing else can heal a heart so torn.
For the father who is parenting alone, strengthen him with your love. For those whose father is already with You, Give him a hug, Lord, and tell him it's from his children. And you, too, Lord. Happy Father's Day!

Tuesday Reviewsday: Money Chicha, Nels Cline and Aki Kumar.
Akarsha "Aki" Kumar
Every week we get the latest music that you should be listening to. This week, music journalist Steve Hochman, who started by introducing us to a band called Money Chicha. Here they are performing live.
Money Chicha is an off-shoot of Austin, Texas' Grupo Fantasma. They make a wide range of exciting Latin-rooted music — salsa, boogaloo, merengue, even some wild Led Zep covers. They even got hired by Prince to be his band at a Golden Globes party a decade ago. But even that can't contain its musicians' full desires for exploration, so it's spawned some spin-offs: Brownout, for one, is a tight Latin-funk act.
Money Chicha dives into psychedelic cumbia, with great results.Their all-instrumental debut album "Echo en Mexico" (love the play on words of the title) echoes not just Mexico, but perhaps even more the '60s and '70s variations of Colombia, Peru and elsewhere in Latin America. It's a style known for its loping beats, burbling folk percussion and stinging, elastic electric guitar lines. Call it Andean surf music. Never mind that there aren't any beaches in the Andes.
Opening track "Lamento en la selva" ("Lamentation in the woods") digs back to 1973 for a song by Peruvian band Los Mirlos, a staple of the compilations of this music, which have proliferated in recent years, popular among world music nuts and hip deejays alike. Money Chicha doesn't reinvent the form — heck, one song is even titled "Cumbia Familiar." But its approach is, well, money.
As for chicha, it's a potent beverage which we last cited in March via the song "Chicha Roja" by Argentine "nu cumbia" artist La Yegros. Here we get a song "Chicha Negra," musically a raw, clip-clop cadence with an almost circus sounding guitar line. And then there's the title, song, which almost could be a theme for a Colombian spy movie, just enough mystery and mystique — we'll take that chicha shaken, not stirred.
Next he brings us an unusual artist, Aki Kumar, and his album "Aki Goes to Bollywood."
Aki Goes to Bollywood, is an unexpected and unexpectedly wonderful meeting of American blues and Indian pop. The meeting happened, though, in California's Bay Area. The project is part of the Little Village Foundation's mission to uncover the hidden cultures and music of the state. Other releases have covered folk, blues, mariachi and Latin American traditional music (some of the latter coming from communities where the language is neither English nor Spanish, but pre-Colombian dialects).
But this? Go figure! The story behind the album is surprising enough. Akarsha Kumar was born in Mumbai, moving to Silicone Valley at 18, eventually becoming an Adobe software engineer. He'd studied Hindustani traditional music as a child, but over here became infatuated with blues and early rock and took up the harmonica, playing in club bands at night after work. At some point along the way, he realized that some Bollywood pop was heavily influenced and modeled on American rock and pop and might lend itself to some specifically blues-rooted interpretations.
Jim Pugh, executive director of the Little Village Foundation and an accomplished blues keyboard player as well, agreed when he encountered Kumar a few years back. And here we are with something likely never before heard, whether in California or Calcutta.
For the most part the songs find a great balance between the styles, the best featuring stinging guitar lines, roiling piano, hard-four beats and Kumar's blowzy harp fitting perfectly with the buoyant froth of some classic Bollywood production numbers. On first listen to such delights as the opening "Badan Per Sitaare" (the original found in the 1969 Bollywood movie "Prince" and sung on that soundtrack by icon Mohammad Rafi) it's a perfect tease — a riff that sets you up for Muddy Waters instead leading to bubbly Hindi.
Songs that are basically blues with Indian touches, such as the slow stomper "My Home is a Prison" (with guitarist Kit Anderson adding a little sitar), are less successful, but still worthy experiments.
There's much to delight here, but the absolute must-hear is Kumar's take on "Eena Meena Deeka," originally from a big band boogie-woogie fantasy sequence in the 1957 Tamil movie "Aasha," featuring the voice of all-time top playback singer Asha Bosle. Kumar and band transform it into pure Southside swing scorcher. It's Chicago deep-dish pizza — masala style.
And finally, we hear about Nels Cline, and his new album, "Lovers." Here is a video of Nels performing, "I Have Dreamed."
If you've seen Wilco in the last decade or so, you've certainly noticed that tall, lanky blond guy going absolutely nutso on his guitar, adding touches of everything from sheets and shards of skronk to fragile lyricism, always taking the songs to unexpected, but perfect places. And you've probably walked away shaking your head in wonder at the range and depths of his talents.
But you still may be surprised to hear how Nels Cline sounds on "Lovers," his first album for jazz legacy label Blue Note. Even if you've followed his very multi-faceted solo and collaborative career through the years, you may well be surprised to hear him in the context of some sensually romantic jazz, both standards and originals, though you won't be surprised by the combination of facility and imagination he brings to this. Of the former, we've got some tunes by Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern, Henry Mancini and Gabor Szabo, complemented by a few modernists including Arto Lindsay and Sonic Youth. Working in settings from small combo (including his twin brother, Alex, on drums) to large ensemble with various combos of brass, woodwinds and strings (arranged and conducted by Michael Leonhart), Cline fashions sounds he's termed here as "mood music," though really it's a plurality of "moods music."
He says it's a concept he's been pursuing for more than 25 years, inspired by such icons as Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Gil Evans, Mancini and others. At times he evokes other eras. The Kern/Hammerstein classic "Why Was I Born?" sounds like it could have been played at Gatsby's party. Yet somehow it evokes a sense of now as strongly as any wistful then. The same is true in reverse for the originals and other pieces, reaching back to some dream past from a very current foundation. Prime example: The Sonic Youth piece, "Snare, Girl," transformed from its spare 1998 original version into a dreamily lush drift somewhere between Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" and Martin Denny's tropical-inspired lounge music (that's a compliment). You could easily hear something like this in a major movie score. Ditto on the latter sense of his approach to a medley of jazz experimentalist Annette Peackock's "So Hard it Hurts" and "Touching," given melancholy atmospheric lyricism akin to Gil Evans' most subdued works. And those both connect with the touching tones brought to the Rodgers and Hammerstein chestnut "I Have Dreamed."
Most intriguing, perhaps, are the five Cline compositions, as far from the fierce playing for which he may be best known as he can get. "Hairpin & Hatbox," "The Bed We Made," "You Noticed"… These are lovely miniatures, fireside music, delicate and, yes, romantic, a la Jim Hall or Joe Pass, as intimate as it gets. Now that's a mood.

SGF inducts, charges boards of NPA, other MDAs on diligence, due process
Mr. Boss Mustapha, SGF
Mr. Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has called on newly appointed board members for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure enhanced diligence, due process and effective public service delivery.
The SGF, represented by Mr Maurice Mbaeri, Permanent Secretary General Services in the SGF's office made the call during a two-day induction programme for Chairmen and Members of governing Board of Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies and Commissions on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, the programme, organised by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) in collaboration with Konard Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), aims to strengthen the capacity of Board members of federal parastatals and commissions on organisational effectiveness and cooperate governance.
"The programme aims to further deepen your understanding of the new policies, processes and procedures that have been introduced into the art of governance.
"This induction programme has become more significant at this time that the present Administration is fully committed to the entrenchment of good and purposeful governance in our country.
"As you are all aware, the Public Service that we all know remains the major service provider in Nigeria.
"It is the operating arm of Government with the responsibility of implementing policies and programmes that guarantee the efficient delivery of good governance and democratic dividends to citizens.
"It is, however, hierarchical in structure deriving its direction from the foremost decision-making body in the Federation, the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
"The affairs of Parastatals are superintended by a Governing Board, headed by a Chairman, to provide policy guidelines and liaise with the supervisory Ministry through the Permanent Secretary for effective monitoring, policy guidance and ensuring that Government policy directives relating to the functions of the Parastatal are carried out.
"It is, therefore, worthy of note that the day-to-day administration of the Parastatals is handled by a Chief Executive who doubles as the Accounting Officer."
He expressed concern about some worrisome issues that were threatening the smooth operations of some MDAs such as:
"Disagreements on who is responsible for the day-to-day running of Parastatals and Agencies; disregard for extant regulations guiding\restricting the conduct of Board meetings and Interference in the function of the Office of the Chief Executive Officer.
"Issuing directives to staff without recourse to the Chief Executive Officer thereby creating disharmony amongst personnel.
"Initiating unlawful disciplinary measures against the Chief Executive without requisite guidance and approval from supervisory Ministry and Instigating the Labour Unions and Associations as agents of distraction in the Parastatals."
According to him the observed poor and unhealthy relationships existing between Governing Boards and their Chief Executive Officers have become very worrisome to Government and are unacceptable.
"This could be avoided if Chairmen and Members of Governing Boards acquaint themselves with the instruments of the establishment of their respective organisations, where the role and responsibilities of the Board are prescribed," Mbaeri said.
In his remarks, the Director-General of BPSR, Dr Dasuki Arabi, said the Induction was apt, especially in view of the growing concerns expressed about weak corporate governance practice and the struggle and misunderstanding among Board members in some Federal Parastatals, Agencies and Commissions.
"It is a known fact that while top-level Federal Civil Servants, such as Permanent Secretaries, Directors and their equivalent in the service grow through the Federal Civil Service and acquire varied public service knowledge and cognate experience in the conduct of government business, most members of Governing Boards of Federal Agencies largely lack such knowledge and experience.
"This is as a result of the fact that most of them are appointed from outside the public service, and assume duties in their respective agencies with limited knowledge of the workings of public service, corporate governance practices and conduct of government business.
"Note that Parastatals are important institutions because most citizens experience governance and service delivery directly through them."
He said it was therefore imperative for the Federal Government to look into how to properly induct new appointees on the ethics and procedures of the Federal Public Service before or immediately after the assumption of office.
"In order to address this concern as well as respond to the numerous concerns from Federal Parastatals, Agencies and Commissions on matters relating to good corporate governance practices, the SGF directed the institutionalisation of the Induction Programme for members of Governing Boards and Chief Executive Officers in the Federal Public Service immediately they are appointed.
"It is in the foregoing context that this induction is taking place.
"So, members can gain an understanding of their roles, key responsibilities and the behaviour required of them in their respective organisations, both as individuals and as part of the Board's collective responsibility.
"And how they can contribute effectively to promote good corporate governance practice in the agencies," Arabi said.
For her part, Ms Marija Peran, Resident Representative of Konard Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Nigeria said:
"The Foundation is a German political foundation, a non-governmental organisation.
"We are part of the official German development cooperation and thus funded by the German Government.
"We have established more than 100 offices worldwide and have been active in Nigeria for 20 years now.
"The focus of our work in Nigeria lies in the promotion of democratic governance and the rule of law and on security sector reform," Peran said.
Mr Clem Agba, Minister of State for Budget and National Planning represented by Mr Philip Ugbodaga, Special Assistant Administration, congratulated the BPSR for the initiative, especially as the nation strives to overcome its economic and social challenges.
"The ability to overcome these challenges is predicated on good governance and good governance can only be achieved through the inherent capacities of those that lead the process of designing and implementing appropriate policies of government.
"Let me use this medium to acknowledge and appreciate the laudable contributions of KAS to the successful hosting of this training," Agba said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Inductees include those for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)
Other Board members inducted are those for the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA).

Preliminary sigma estimates for insured global losses resulting from natural and man-made disasters in 2017 are around USD 136 billion, well-above the annual average of the previous 10 years, and the third highest since sigma records began in 1970. Total economic losses soared in 2017 to USD 306 billion from USD 188 billion in 2016. The accumulation of economic and insured losses ramped up in the second half of the year, due primarily to the three hurricanes – Harvey, Irma and Maria – that hit the US and the Caribbean, and wildfires in California. Globally, more than 11 000 people have died or gone missing in disaster events in 2017, similar to 2016.
Total economic losses from natural catastrophes and man-made disasters are estimated to be USD 306 billion in 2017, up from USD 188 billion in 2016 and much more than the annual average of the previous 10 years (USD 190 billion). Global insured losses from disaster events in 2017 were around USD 136 billion, up from USD 65 billion in 2016, well above the previous 10-year annual average (USD 58 billion), and the third highest on sigma records. Natural catastrophes accounted for USD 131 billion of this year's insured losses1, and man-made disasters for the remaining USD 5 billion. More than 11 000 people have died or gone missing in catastrophe events, similar to 2016.

Sagittaria latifolia
To support our efforts please browse our store (books with medicinal info, etc.).
Broadleaf arrowhead, also referred to as the common arrowhead, is a perennial aquatic plant in the Alismataceae (water plantain) family. Although this plant occurs naturally in many areas, it is also a sought-after aquatic plant that is cultivated by those who have ponds or waterways on their property. The common names of duck potato and wapato for this plant are in reference to the enlarged rounded starchy golf ball-sized tubers that form at the ends of underground plant runners (rhizomes). When dislodged from the mud, these tubers float to the surface.
This aquatic plant is quite distinctive with arrowhead-shaped emergent leaves. It blooms mid to late summer with white, 3-petalled showy flowers, usually growing in whorls of three. It is an attractive aquatic plant, especially the arrowhead-shaped leaves.
- click for video -
This white flower has three rounded petals that appear in whorls of three. The flower scapes are 20 to 50 cm long and topped by 2 to 8 whorls of flowers. The bracts of the inflorescence are blunt or rounded and 5 to10 mm long. The petal length is 1 to 2 cm. Male flowers have bushy yellow centre stamens (stamens usually number more than 20) and female flowers have mounded green centres. Flowers have small, boat-shaped bracts and the seed pods develop in the autumn. Flowers are in bloom from July into September.
Fields of Nutrition has medicinal benefits and vitamin/mineral content of Arrowhead.
Arrowhead leaves are immersed. The petiole is triangular, erect, and can reach lengths anywhere from 5 to 50 cm. The leaf blade is sagittate (arrowhead in shape), measures up to 30 cm long, and up to 15 cm wide. There is considerable variability in the width of the leaves and length of their basal lobes across different populations. Submerged leaves may be completely bladeless.
Common arrowhead can grow up to 125 cm (4') tall depending on location and growing conditions. It does prefer full sun locations.
Found in shallow water in lakes, ponds, tidal marshes, rivers, streams, and wetland margins. This common aquatic plant is native to, and found throughout Canada, U.S., Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Central America, and Puerto Rico. It was introduced to, and occurs throughout Europe, southeast Asia and in some Oceania locations such as French Polynesia.
Edible Parts
The tubers of the arrowheads are edible when roasted or boiled. They were important food sources of indigenous peoples and in some areas are still valued as a great food source. Tubers are typically roasted. Though the skin is edible arrowhead tubers are more palatable when peeled. The best time for collecting tubers is in fall or early spring. Tubers are high in starch and phosphorous.

From recruit to Rookie of the Year: How Brinten Comeau became a star overnight
By Thomas Becker
Unless she's decked out in Panther threads, you'd be forgiven if you didn't recognize Brinten Comeau amongst the hundreds of students who make their way around UPEI's campus.
But packed in that five-foot-four frame of hers is a gritty and skilled rugby player who has put the league on notice. And the exciting part is, she's just a rookie.
FOR THE LOVE OF RUGBY
Many high-level athletes begin their chosen sport at a young age, but Comeau was a late bloomer. She started playing for her high school team in Grade 10 and credits her cousin for introducing her to the sport she'd quickly grow to love.
"My school didn't offer my other sport [ringette] so picking rugby seemed like the best option," said the 18-year-old. "I was drawn to rugby because it was so different from anything I had ever seen, and I like the contact part about it."
The Hammonds Plains, N.S. native picked up the sport quickly and was a natural on the field. The following two years, she'd become the focal point and captain of the Charles P. Allen Cheetahs.
But it was in the summers where her game really took off. Her best friend, Ritaj Abdoulla, who participated in Nova Scotia's Keltics program, encouraged her to come out to all the sessions. She started out with the Keltics developmental team, before progressing through the system to suit up for the Keltics under-17 team and the under-18 Ireland touring squad.
"Coach [Jack] Hanratty helped me learn more about the game and put in a lot of effort to make me the player I am today," Comeau explained.
UPEI WANTS YOU
While Comeau was harnessing her gifts, the AUS and their teams were gearing up for another season. The St. FX X-Women and Acadia Axewomen had their eyes set on national glory and focused their attention and abundant resources to target proven talent, while the savvy Panthers were looking for hidden gems.
So how did the Panthers strike gold with Comeau?
"I totally credit [Panthers assistant coach] James Voye with this," said Panthers head coach John LaBoyne.
Once Voye found out Comeau had interest in joining UPEI, the pursuit began. Over the next several months, Voye would often check in and inquire about Comeau and did everything he could to convince her the Island university was the right fit for her.
"I really started to lean towards UPEI because of my talks with James," Comeau said. "He was familiar with what I was doing back home and what worked for me, and coming here would be an easy transition."
Even after she signed on the dotted line, the Panthers didn't know exactly what they'd get from their newest addition. They knew she had talent, but they weren't expecting her to play a factor until, at least, her second or third year.
But once she took the field for the first time as a Panther, perceptions quickly changed and LaBoyne still recites the moment that impressed him most upon Comeau's arrival.
BUILDING A REPUTATION
"Day one, she showed up at practice with a notebook and pen to diagram and write out what we were doing," he said. "Brinten came in with an attitude that you don't often see from a high school player."
Comeau said she started this routine to understand the game better and gives her insight on how she can take advantage of scenarios that may present themselves.
"In my notebook I have a mix of plays, goals and game reviews, so anytime I have a thought or goal I want to accomplish I can look at it and think about what I'm doing."
That veteran-like attitude served Comeau well in her rookie season, as she earned the trust from her teammates, who gravitated toward her quiet leadership.
"She set the standard for all the players and soon afterwards, everyone was taking notes and talking about what we, as coaches, were presenting," LaBoyne said. "On the field, her drive and skills show through, not just on game day, but in every drill at practice."
Once she became comfortable with Voye's systems of play, she made a clear case that she belonged. The combination of skill, attitude and rugby IQ propelled the flank forward into the starting 15 and she never looked back.
"Our team policy is the best play regardless of years with the program," the bench boss said. "I keep going back to Brinten's skill, drive, desire and leadership. She leads by example."
AND YOUR AUS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR IS…
In her inaugural AUS season, she started in all six games and was UPEI's leading scorer with six tries for 30 points on the season. And she didn't just feast on the Saint Mary's Huskies. She also scored on the eventual national champion X-Women and the Axewomen, who hosted this year's national championship.
Even Comeau was surprised by her own exceptional play.
"Coming to UPEI I didn't think I would be playing as much as I did. I thought I would just be an impact sub coming into the game later," she said. "My first season couldn't have been better, but I know where I want to improve my game to take it to the next level."
Two weeks after the regular season ended, Comeau got some surprising news as she was named an All-Star (along with teammate Lauren Sheidow) and the AUS Rookie of the Year.
"It was unexpected," she said. "I called my mom and told her right away. After the announcement, the congratulations that came flooding in were overwhelming and a couple amazing phone calls really made it special."
Having spent three-plus months with her, the coaches felt it was a foregone conclusion. She deserved the accolades, LaBoyne said.
"Having a new player pick up these prestigious awards compared to so many outstanding athletes in the AUS was wonderful," he said. "It's also amazing as she played one of the most demanding positions at a high level and had the ability to play hard-nosed defence as well as being an integral part of our attack."
WRUG�� | She led @UPEIWRugby with six tries and 30 points!
Now she's the @AUS_SUA Rookie of the Year and an All-Star!
Congratulations to BRINTEN COMEAU!#GoPanthersGo pic.twitter.com/Ny97e2Aq8H
— UPEI Panthers (@UPEIPanthers) October 25, 2018
NEVER SETTLING
While individual accolades are great and all, Comeau is already looking ahead to next season and is committed to turning the Panthers into a championship contender.
By season's end, the team decided to dedicate their time toward personal growth. So far, the offseason has been spent in the gym and at Synergy Fitness & Nutrition in an effort to inch closer to elite rivals, St. FX and Acadia.
"Right now, we're working in the gym trying to get bigger and stronger for next season," Comeau said. "As a team, we want to grow so that one day we will be competing at nationals."
Lofty goals for a program that was once considered an afterthought. But at the heart of it is a renewed devotion to become better than they were yesterday and a lot of that has to do with the quality young pieces they've brought on board.
"By having a player like Brinten select UPEI it sends a message to other elite players, who are considering a school to come to, that UPEI and specifically the Panther rugby program is moving in the right direction and will be a force to be reckoned with in the future," LaBoyne said.

if you have enough start-up capital it is very simple and not very monotonous First you go to buy the Green Dragon / Blue Dragon skin or on line 2 of the world and then you go to the forum Al-Kharid desert leather shop to nitrate leather dragon skin, and then to the 2-wire or forum to the world. sell. that's all.
Profit: depends on your bid and offer prices of the general, the Green Dragon skin can buy around 1600, while the Green Dragon tanned leather prices around 1900-2000 per hour you can basically nitrate. Built around 2500 dragon skin. If you press the purchase price and 1900/ea bid 1700/ea to count, one hour can have a profit of about 500K.
In this way you will not get any money experience.


This term 3AO have been thinking about our personal health and fitness. Each week we have been visiting the MMU campus to look at the different leisure activities we can access. On our initial visit we put on digital fitbit watches to count our steps and walked over to the Sports and Fitness Facility. Phil, our fitness instructor and manager of the Gym showed us how to use each piece of equipment and how to adjust the settings to suit our individual fitness levels. The journey there and back was over 1500 steps alone - so we should see the benefits of our workouts very soon.

Q: ProcessingJS performance with large data My goal is to create an interactive web visualization of data from motion tracking experiments.
The trajectories of the moving objects are rendered as points connected by lines.  The visualization allows the user to pan and zoom the data.
My current prototype uses Processing.js because I am familiar with Processing, but I have run into performance problems when drawing data with greater than 10,000 vertices or lines.  I pursued a couple of strategies for implementing the pan and zoom, but the current implementation, which I think is the best, is to save the data as an svg image and use the PShape data type in Processing.js to load, draw, scale and translate the data.  A cleaned version of the code:
/* @pjs preload="nanoparticle_trajs.svg"; */
PShape trajs;

void setup()
{
  size(900, 600);

  trajs = loadShape("nanoparticle_trajs.svg");

}

//function that repeats and draws elements to the canvas
void draw()
{

  shape(trajs,centerX,centerY,imgW,imgH);

}

//...additional functions that get mouse events

Perhaps I should not expect snappy performance with so many data points, but are there general strategies for optimizing the display of complex svg elements with Processing.js?  What would I do if I wanted to display 100,000 vertices and lines?  Should I abandon Processing all together?
Thanks
EDIT:
Upon reading the following answer, I thought an image would help convey the essence of the visualization:

It is essentially a scatter plot with >10,000 points and connecting lines.  The user can pan and zoom the data and the scale bar in the upper-left dynamically updates according to the current zoom level.

A: Here's my pitch:
Zoom level grouping and break down data as your users focuses/zooms-in
I would suggest you group together some data and present it as simple node
On zooming in to a particular node you can break down the node and release the group thus showing it's details.
This way you limit the amount of data you need to show on zoomed-out views (where all the nodes would be shown) and you add details as the user zooms-in to a region - in which case not all nodes would be showing since zooming in only focuses on one area of your graph
Viewport limit
Detect what is in the current view area and draw just that. Avoid drawing the whole node graph structure if your user cannot see it in his viewport - Show only what is necessary. Although I suspect that this is already done by Processing.js anyway, I don't know if your zooming functionality takes advantage of this.
Consider bitmap caching if your nodes are interactive/clickable
If your elements are clickable/interactive you might want to consider grouping data and showing them as bitmaps(large groups of data showed as a single image), until the user clicks on a bitmap in which case the bitmap is removed and the original shape is re-drawed in that bitmaps place. This minimizes the amount of points/lines the engine has to draw on each redraw cycle.
For bitmap caching see this link,(this is Fabric.js - a canvas library and SVG but the concept/idea is the same) and also this answer I posted to one of my questions for interactive vector/bitmap caching

As a side note:
Do you really need to use Processing?
If there's no interaction or animation happening and you just want to blit pixels(just draw it once) on a Canvas, consider abandoning a vector based library altogether. Plain-old canvas just blits pixels on a canvas and that's all. The initial startup drawing of data might have some delay, but since there's not any internal reference to the points/shapes/lines after they were drawn - there's nothing eating up your resources/clogging your memory.
So if this is the case - consider making the switch to plain Canvas.
However data visualisations are all about animations and interactivity so I doubt you'll want to give them up.

Q: Adding Tag (i.e. Source IP) to rsyslog for sending to rsyslog remote server Is there any way to adding a Tag to Logs which sent by rsyslog?
I send these logs to another server, and I can detect source IP as destination, but I need to adding tag in source.

A: You should be able to match the hostname of the system emitting your log. Isn't that enough?
Rsyslog has an option $PreserveFQDN on, to replace that hostname with your FQDN, which is probably better with syslog concentrators, ...
I suppose on the other end you have some logstash or elasticsearch? Either way, rsyslog also allows you to define templates such as:
template(name="jsonfmt" type="list" option.json="on") {
    constant(value="{")
    constant(value="\"@timestamp\":\"") property(name="timereported" dateFormat="rfc3339")
    constant(value="\",\"@version\":\"1")
    constant(value="\",\"message\":\"") property(name="msg")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.host\":\"") property(name="hostname")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.severity\":\"") property(name="syslogseverity-text")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.facility\":\"") property(name="syslogfacility-text")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.programname\":\"") property(name="programname")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.procid\":\"") property(name="procid")
    constant(value="\",\"@fields.mytag\":\"foobarStaticTag\"}\n")
}

local7.* @logstash.example.com:1514;jsonfmt
local7.* action(type="omelasticsearch"
       action.resumeretrycount="-1"
       dynSearchIndex="on"
       bulkmode="on"
       queue.type="linkedlist"
       queue.size="1000000"
       queue.dequeuebatchsize="1000"
       queue.workerthreads="2"
       searchIndex="logidx"
       server="esearchgw.example.com"
       template="jsonfmt")

Note that the sample logstash forwarder assumes your input definition includes codec => json. The foobarStaticTag being whatever Tag you wanted to add.

Capella è un cratere lunare di 48,13 km situato nella parte sud-orientale della faccia visibile della Luna, situato a settentrione del Mare Nectaris, in una regione accidentata marcata da molti piccoli crateri.

Il bordo del cratere è basso, ma relativamente spesso; nella parte occidentale è parzialmente sovrapposto al cratere Isidorus, di dimensioni simili, mentre nella regione meridionale è interrotto.

Una fenditura nota come Vallis Capella attraversa il cratere lungo una direttrice nord-sudest, estendendosi per circa 110 chilometri complessivi. Al centro vi è un ampio rilievo arrotondato, marcato da un minuscolo cratere.

Il cratere è dedicato allo scrittore romano Marziano Capella.

The Supreme Court Abortion Leak—Your Questions, Answered
How serious is the leak? Will it cause a political earthquake? And more.
By David French
Dispatch members, we're hosting a Dispatch Live tonight that you will not want to miss. We're going to start with a discussion of the Supreme Court leak and then move straight to the results of the Ohio primary. It's going to be quite a night! If you're not a member, you can join (and watch) today.
(Photograph by Erin Schaff/Getty Images.)
Last night, at about 8:30 ET, my phone spontaneously combusted. The sheer combination of incoming texts, tweets, emails, Facebook, GroupMe, and WhatsApp messages caused it to detonate in a tiny mushroom cloud. A draft Samuel Alito opinion leaking from the Supreme Court would be shocking enough, but a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade? The mind reels.
I can't provide a complete analysis of all the ramifications in a single newsletter, but let's hit as many topics as we can. Here are your most common questions, answered:
Is the draft opinion real? Yes. The court has confirmed the authenticity of the draft, condemned the leak, and ordered an investigation.
There are currently no responses to this article.
Be the first to respond.

This is what a 35-mile Uber detour looks like.
LONDON — Remember that British guy who got charged £102 ($133) back in March for an Uber he took home after a night out? The one that should have taken about 20 minutes, but took considerably longer after the driver went on a very windy detour?
Well this one's sort of like that, only worse.
When London-based comedian Hannah Warman was heading home on Sunday night, she decided to skip the short walk in favour of an Uber.
After she fell asleep on the journey home, though, things took a turn for the strange.
What should have been a very brief journey became a one-and-a-half hour, 35-mile detour around London. The total charge was £84.95 ($111).
Warman told Mashable she only realised what had happened the following day, when she saw the email receipt from Uber.
"First of all I was shocked and upset about how expensive it was because I thought the driver must've got lost and I shouldn't have been charged for his mistake," she explained. "Then I realised he couldn't have got that lost because they have Sat Navs and the map with the start and end point would've been in front of him. It looks like he went the longest way around possible.
"Then I started to worry why I'd been driven around and felt a bit shaken and unsafe."
Warman's tweet about the incident quickly wracked up well over 1,000 retweets. Others also chipped in with their own, similar experiences.
@hannahwarman @Uber yep of course, they refunded the difference straight away tbf. Bizarre how they try it when you get a map afterwards!
A few hours later, Uber followed up.
@hannahwarman We can definitely follow up here! Send us a DM with your email address so our team can take a look.
Warman eventually received a full refund from Uber, but told Mashable she wasn't impressed by its initial response.
"I had to email a few times to get a reply, then got a partial refund, but I wasn't given an explanation or the reassurance I felt was needed," she explained. "Since I tweeted about it, however, I have been fully refunded, but they said they can't tell me anything about the driver or the action that was taken due to confidentiality."
"I think people need to be aware that stuff like this goes on because there's a blasé confidence everyone has with using Uber that maybe isn't warranted," Warman concluded.
"I still believe that most Uber drivers are good, hard-working people who probably have the customer's best interest in mind, but I think it's too easy for the less nice ones to get away with conning people, or worse."
Mashable has reached out to Uber for comment.
"We have given the rider a full refund and are speaking to the licensed driver to establish exactly what happened. However, our systems show that the requested destination changed 3 times during the trip. Unlike other transport options Uber's technology records every trip and sends riders a receipt with a map of the route taken. This transparency and accountability means if there is an issue it can be quickly resolved."

Adolf Gawalewicz (2 September 1916 - 11 June 1987) was a Polish jurist and writer known for his memoirs of his years at Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps.

Life and work
Gawalewicz spent his childhood and high-school years in Lvov, graduating from gimnazjum in 1935, and then in June 1939, obtained a law degree from the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. He worked for a time in the municipal administration of the city of Cracow.

After the Nazi invasion of Poland he participated in underground resistance and  distributed underground publications, activities for which he was arrested by the Nazis on 16 September 1940, and incarcerated in the Montelupich Prison.

On 9 January 1941, he was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp where he was assigned inmate number 9225. Władysław Fejkiel (19111995) reports that in the winter of 1941/42 Gawalewicz was brought to the camp's infirmary in a state of unconsciousness and so extremely emaciated that his body weight could not have been more than 35 kg; the  medic's first thought was to prepare his death certificate. The nightmare of Auschwitz continued for Gawalewicz for nearly three and a half years, and later continued, from the middle of June 1944 onwards, at successive Nazi concentration camps:  Buchenwald, Dachau, Mittelbau-Dora, Ellrich, and Bergen-Belsen.

At the time of his liberation by British forces, he was in a state of total exhaustion and afflicted by a serious pulmonary condition. In view of this, he was evacuated to a sanatorium in Sweden on 24 June 1945, where  owing to a successful lung operation and a lengthy convalescence  his health was partly restored.

He returned to Poland on 5 July 1946, and resumed his work in the municipal administration of Cracow. In 1948, he obtained his doctorate in law with a thesis on the "Implications of the Nazi Occupation of Poland on the Laws of Civil Administration". He dedicated himself to writing, authoring numerous publications and articles in the field of Nazi concentration camps studies as well as in his professional domain of jurisprudence.

His most famous book is Refleksje z poczekalni do gazu: ze wspomnień muzułmana (Reflections in the Gas Chamber's Waiting Room: From the Memoirs of a Muselmann) first published in 1968 (3rd ed., 2000), which, apart from being a personal memoir, is a study of the moral questions posed by the specific conditions of a Nazi concentration camp experience. The text ranks among the preeminent testimonials of such Holocaust survivors as Tadeusz Borowski, Halina Birenbaum, Primo Levi, and Elie Wiesel, who addressed the question of moral choice. Giorgio Agamben, for his part, chose to highlight Gawalewicz's observation that the abnormal conditions of the camp accounted for the aggravation of the normal physical and psychological differences between men. Agamben quotes Gawalewicz as saying: "Camp conditions made these differences more pronounced, and we often witnessed reversals of the roles played by physical and psychological factors." Patricia Treece brings out Gawalewicz's sophisticated analysis of the six distinct ways in which the concentration-camp system served the larger, but not readily apparent, purposes of Nazi Germany.

Gawalewicz participated as a material witness in the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials in the 1960s. During the trial, he sparred with  Nazi war criminal, Josef Klehr. The transcript of the exchange was published (in the original German version) in Hermann Langbein's monumental Der Auschwitz-Prozess: eine Dokumentation (1965).

During the post-War discussions on the stance that Auschwitz was to assume as a museum for posterity, he expressed the opinion that he believed would be shared by all former inmates that the camp should be left completely intact, without any decorative or modernizing changes, especially in the outdoor spaces, as opposed to those who never experienced the camp as it was in real life. He wrote  for a former prisoner:Every perspective of the external structure, every stair, every brick or what might otherwise seem an insignificant detail is invested with the memory of the immeasurable immensity of suffering and dignity, of degradation and pride. Likewise the vision of dearest friends  the fellow inmates  is inextricably bound up with the camp as it was when they existed.

He died suddenly in Cracow on 11 June 1987.

The Next Big Thing Blog Hop. Easy enough. Post and have fun.
2. Where did the idea come from for the book? I spent Sept-Nov 2012 thinking of a setting for a communicating a concept about relationships. The book got birthed over the 60+ days of writing. Some of the story surprised me.
3. What genre does your book fall under? Dystopian.
4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? The two main characters should be played by actors that are strong physically and emotionally. Like an early 20's version of actors like Jessica Biel and Channing Tatum.
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? After Dibyn Adwy is shot while on duty at the Peace Border, he is given an undercover assignment to find the dissidents, possibly his shooter, and destroy the inside reservation, which holds religious fundamentalists.
6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency? I am planning to try the traditional publishing route. I think the experience of a literary agent is necessary for my development as a writer.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? I'm done with the initial content writing phase, but am currently editing the scenes into chapters. The initial writing took 63 days.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? The book is Alternate History/Dystopian fiction. Hard to compare.
9. Who or What inspired you to write this book? I am driven to be creative in some manner of expression. I worked at expressing myself with music for a number of years and realized the part of music I liked best was writing lyrics. I took a class from Berkleeonline "Finding Your Voice". That class motivated me to try prose.
10. What else about your book might piqué the reader's interest? Though the book has a dystopian setting, the book is really about the various relationships between the characters and the decisions they have to make.
Here are the writers I'm tagging. Check out their blogs, and look for their posts coming to a computer screen or smart phone near you soon!
I've enjoyed participating in the The Next Big Thing Blog Hop.
Thanks for the invite, Pete!.
Practice that pitch!!! Talking about your book is the hardest thing isn't it? If you plan on going the agent route you'll need to do it and do it often. I had an author ask me about what my book was about at a writer's conference a few months ago and I actually froze up. I think I might have even been a little embarrassed! I'm beefing up for the next one and practicing the pitch all the time. Good luck with your novel and congratulations on the award!
Thank you. I've frozen when friends have asked me.
First pitch for the book will be at the PNWA conference in July.
I'm researching each of the available Agents and Editors over the next months.
No problem. Thanks for accepting the nomination.
Of all the blogging awards that are floating around out there, I think this is the best one for writers to promote their WIP. I like the sounds of your book. Best of look with it all.
Thank you. Yeah, it is a great award.
Wow! Your book sounds really great. 🙂 It takes a lot a hard work and patience to write a book! Hope to see it in a bookstore or library if I get the chance. Best of luck!
Thanks. I like your poetry style. I'll be stopping by.
Thanks! Best wishes on The Gaia Chronicles.

REVIEW: BITE BEAUTY Agave Treat Trio Lip Mask Set
by Trysh - January 10, 2019
For years now, BITE has been releasing holiday sets in these little tins and pretty much every year I've picked one up. I love BITE formulas and I actually have a kind of ridiculous collection of mini-sized lip products from the brand. Because of that, I didn't actually figure that I'd pick up any of the holiday sets this year, but then they released the BITE Agave Treat Trio Mini Agave Lip Mask Set and there was pretty much no doubt that if it was still in stock after Christmas (since I put myself on a pre-holiday no-buy) I'd grab it. So I did! I wanted to write this review because this set is still available, so if it appeals to you I'd definitely grab it now!
Keep reading for more!
The BITE Agave Treat Trio contains, you guessed it, three 5g tubes of the BITE Agave Lip Mask in Natural, Maple, and the limited edition Candy Cane version. Being that a full sized Agave Lip Mask contains 15g of product, this three pack contains the same amount of product as the full size but with the added (in my opinion) value of having three different options.
The original BITE Agave Lip Mask definitely had a moment a few years ago when it was first released, with tons of people raving about it and calling it a holy grail. Since then, it hasn't gotten nearly as much attention - as things tend to do in the beauty community once they aren't new anymore - but I know it remains an absolute staple for a lot of people, myself included. It has a really rich, dense formula that I can put on at night and still have quite a bit of left when I wake up in the morning - which is really a savior for winter lips that tend to dry out while I sleep in a pretty dry house.
BITE BEAUTY Agave Lip Mask - Natural
It would be easy to think of the original version of the Agave Lip Mask as the boring part of this set, but I'd have to respectfully disagree. This is a genuinely solid product that I've absolutely loved for ages now and continue to reach for both around the house or if I'm going to be outside in the cold when my lips really need protection from the elements. This provides both hydration and a barrier from enviromental elements that have been really drying for me. Bonus - even though it's the "boring" original, it smells and tastes kind of delicious.
BITE BEAUTY Agave Lip Mask - Candy Cane
I don't generally put minty things on my lips anymore, but this is officially the exception. While this does have a little bit of a tingle, which is unique from the other two in this set, it's quite subtle and more of a cool feeling than anything else. It's also smells delicious, pretty much just like a candy cane with that specific sweet mintiness, and it has a light minty sweet flavour as well. Formula wise, this is on par with the original and I've literally put this on before bed and woken up the next morning with it still on my lips. There is a slight tint to this one, a hint of rosiness, but on the lips I feel like it doesn't make them look tinted so much as just juicy and healthy.
BITE BEAUTY Agave Lip Mask - Maple
Have you ever thought about slathering your lips in maple syrup? Because literally as I apply this the sensory experience of the smell and taste of maple makes it feel like that's exactly what I'm doing. And it's GLORIOUS, which must mean I really am Canadian. I feel like the formula of this one might be a little bit thinner than the other two, but it's still quite rich and clings nicely to the lips. There's a bit of a tint in this one as well, though I feel like it just ends up looking more like a lightly glowy gloss than an actual tint. Like Candy Cane, I feel like this makes your lips look really juicy and healthy.
Because I absolutely loved the original Agave Lip Mask, I didn't have much doubt that I was going to enjoy this set, so it's no surprise that I love it. I love how different, but enjoyable all three of the different varieties are and I feel like they all do a really good job of protecting and hydrating my lips during these winter months.
Also, I know I talk about value a lot when it comes to sets like this, but I think it's important and I feel like this is really a steal. You're getting the equivalent of a full size product for 30% less than regular price, along with the added value of variety.
If you are interested in the BITE BEAUTY Agave Treat Trio Mini Agave Lip Mask Set, it's still available online from Sephora for $20CAD ($18US) and I highly, highly recommend it!

Bold and playful, florals have stolen the spotlight. Think they're too girlie? Think again with the grunge daisy floral, the Zavacca dress features a loose mini fit with square neckline and button through front. We're all about the chic vibe of this when paired with a western style bot and red lip.

GPs concerned infections in children could mask Covid
Updated / Thursday, 28 Oct 2021 16:45
GPs say a number of different viruses are circulating among chldren
Doctors have reported a marked increase in the number of children with upper respiratory tract infections, and say they are worried this is masking the true number of Covid-19 cases.
A GP in Tramore, Co Waterford, said children could have between six to eight respiratory tract infections over the course of the winter.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Dr Austin Byrne said parents who are being repeatedly asked to isolate children are in a very difficult situation and it becomes successively more difficult for parents to go for a PCR test and exclude their child from school or creche.
"We have a real mismatch between the social need for solidarity, and the ... pressure comes upon parents and families to meet the needs of society. So it really is a difficult place that they're in at the minute," he said.
Dr Byrne also said it is "sobering" to think that while the rate of Covid-19 detection in south Waterford appears high, it may simply be two to three weeks ahead of the rest of the country.
Latest coronavirus stories
Dr Martin Daly, a GP based near Ballygar in Co Galway, also said there has been an increased presentation of young children with respiratory illnesses over the last number of weeks.
Speaking on the same programme, he said he and his colleagues have noticed an increase of "Covid fatigue" among parents who are becoming more hesitant to have their children tested because of the logistical difficulties that arise if a test is positive.
Dr Daly said it is a very difficult situation, but warned that "there is a price to this" if cases are not identified, and urged parents to act if their children have symptoms.
He said there is a number of viruses circulating and lot of them interchange and mimic each other.
"We are going to have a difficult winter", he said, adding that the health service could become overwhelmed, which will have a knock-on effect on other non-Covid services.
Increase of Covid cases among young children 'unsurprising'
Meanwhile, a Professor of Immunology at DCU said the increase of Covid-19 cases in primary school children is unsurprising given the cohort is not yet vaccinated.
Professor Christine Loscher said there is roughly the same percentage of positive cases in this group, compared to the two previous weeks, and a massive surge is not evident.
Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne, Prof Loscher said everyone should focus on their own interactions instead of concentrating on children's activities.
She said testing and tracing in schools needs to be addressed and called for a more streamlined approach to be introduced where the turnaround on contact tracing can be done within a six-to-seven day period.
Prof Loscher also warned that there is "potentially a major issue coming down the line for the healthcare system" and giving booster shots to healthcare staff and speeding up the roll out of boosters to the over 60s could address this.
Speaking on the same programme, a GP based in Shannon said contact tracing in schools needs to be reintroduced when schools reopen next week.
Dr Yvonne Williams said that without contact tracing of asymptomatic children who return to classrooms next week, it will be difficult for parents to manage symptoms going forward.
She said the messaging for parents is also confusing, asking them to limit children's activities outside of school, including outdoor activities, while allowing other measures to be relaxed.

Q: setting jquery.get() to a variable not working I'm writing a page that will print badge labels for members. It's a DYMO labelmaker, and I'm using their javascript label framework.
All the members are listed with checkboxes, with the data to be encoded for the badge in the value. The user will check the members they want to print badges for, and click print.
The script will grab the checked checkboxes, which it does, and pass the value through a get request to a separate php file that will return the encoded data, and it does.
The data to be returned is period delimited, which I need to split and put each piece on a separate line. The problem is I can't seem to get the data out of the scope of the get.
The pertinent portion of the script:
printButton.onclick = function() {
    try {
        printButton.disabled = true;
        settings.currentPrinterName = printersComboBox.value;
        var printer = printers[settings.currentPrinterName];
        if (!printer)
            throw new Error("Select printer");
        var label = null;
        if (printer.printerType == "LabelWriterPrinter") {
            label = addressLabel;
        }
        if (!label)
            throw new Error("Label is not loaded. Wait until is loaded or reload the page");
        var labelSet = new dymo.label.framework.LabelSetBuilder();
        var barcode
        $("#memchk :checked").each(function(){
            var value = $(this).val();
            var barcode;
            var record = labelSet.addRecord();
            $.get("http://ranch/sunrise/wolf/plugins/member_directory/views/barcode.php",{encString: value}, function(data){
                //alert(data.split("."));
                barcode = data.split(".");
            });
            alert(barcode[0]);
            record.setText("TEXT", barcode[0]);
            record.setText("TEXT_1", barcode[1]);
            record.setText("TEXT_2", barcode[2]);
            record.setText("TEXT_3", barcode[3]);
            record.setText("TEXT_4", barcode[4]);
            record.setText("TEXT_5", barcode[5]);
            record.setText("TEXT_6", barcode[6]);
            record.setText("TEXT_7", barcode[7]);
            record.setText("TEXT_8", barcode[8]);
            var memName = value.split("^");
            record.setText("TEXT_9", memName[0]);
        });
        //label.print(printer.name, null, labelSet.toString());
        saveSettings();
    } catch(e) {
        printButton.disabled = false;
        alert(e);
    }
    printButton.enabled = true;
}

I've tried setting the text for each line inside the get, but it doesn't take. The alert inside the get displays the expected data, but if i try to run it as it, it says barcode is undefined. If I comment out the get and set the text lines of the label to static strings, it works fine.
Why can I not get the data?

A: instead of get, try this:
var barcode =  $.ajax({
        url: "http://ranch/sunrise/wolf/plugins/member_directory/views/barcode.php",
        type: "GET",
        data: {encString: value},
        async: false
    }).responseText;

and you'll have barcode assigned with your request, and this:
        alert(barcode[0]);
        record.setText("TEXT", barcode[0]);
        record.setText("TEXT_1", barcode[1]);
        record.setText("TEXT_2", barcode[2]);
        record.setText("TEXT_3", barcode[3]);
        record.setText("TEXT_4", barcode[4]);
        record.setText("TEXT_5", barcode[5]);
        record.setText("TEXT_6", barcode[6]);
        record.setText("TEXT_7", barcode[7]);
        record.setText("TEXT_8", barcode[8]);

should work ;)

A: get is simply a shorter way of making an AJAX get request.  AJAX is asynchronous (that's what the A stands for).  This means that the request is sent and the response comes back sometime later.  All of the stuff you do after the get needs to be moved into the callback function if you want it to be executed after the response is received.

A: Not sure what version of jQuery you are using, but I would start with the docs here:
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/
Also these are not my slides (thanks Dan Heberden) but here is a good example of a callback:
http://danheberden.com/presentations/deferreds-putting-laziness-to-work/#4
So you want to make sure that you call the function to process your data from within your callback function (the part with barcode = data.split(".")... The slides above also show how to use Deferred objects to chain multiple callbacks in a much cleaner way. I recommend that you go through this and the Deferred objects documentation here:
http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/
In short, you should be able to solve your problem using callbacks properly, but for a more readable solution, do check out deferreds.

Man taken to hospital after platform collapses at Longmont High football game
Brad Cochi
St. Vrain Valley School District operations manager Larry West tries to figure out what caused the Longmont High School football team's film tower to fall and injure team film coach Tom Hansen as Thursday night's football game between Longmont High and Loveland High ended at Everly-Montgomery Field in Longmont.
The Loveland players join the Longmont High School football team on the field in a show of respect for film coach Tom Hansen, who was injured when the Longmont High film tower fell as Thursday night's game ended at Everly-Montgomery Field in Longmont.
A police officer walks near a mechanical left that collapsed following Longmont High School's football game against Loveland Thursday. Tom Hansen, who was atop the lift filming the game, fell about 25 feet when the platform collapsed and was transported to Longmont United Hospital with reported neck and back injuries.
By Joe Rubino |
A man was transported to Longmont United Hospital with possible neck and back injuries after a scissor-lift he was standing atop at the Longmont High School football game fell over, according to police.
The man, identified by a sports reporter at the scene as Tom Hansen, 38, was at Longmont High's Everly-Montgomery Field, 1060 Sunset Drive, to film the school's football game against Loveland High School, according to officer Jason Malterud.
The lift toppled to the ground at about 9:30 p.m., after the game was over, with the man still inside the basket at the top of the piece of equipment, Malterud said.
Cmdr. Jeff Satur of Longmont police said Hansen fell about 25 feet and briefly lost consciousness after the fall.
He complained of neck and back pain and was transported to the hospital by ambulance, according to police.
He was reportedly alert and talking while undergoing testing the hospital, Satur said.
Longmont Times-Call business editor Tony Kindelspire's daughter, Shannon, was at the game. While she did not see the lift collapse, she said she witnessed the aftermath.
"All I heard was, 'Oh my god,' and the tower was on the ground," she said. "And the guy couldn't move and everyone ran over to him and the paramedics had to come."
The lift was located next to the field's south scoreboard and fell eastward toward Francis Street, she said.
No one else was hurt in the incident.
It is not clear what caused the lift to fall over.
Longmont High football coach Doug Johnson voiced his concern for Hansen after he had been secured to a stretcher and taken to the hospital.
"I am concerned with Tom right now," Johnson said. "I don't know. This all makes football seem like a silly game."
Sports reporter Brad Cochi and Times-Call editors Tony Kindelspire and Travis Pryor contributed to this report.
