A: Change your DataTemplate to this:
<DataTemplate>
    <TextBlock x:Name="Test" Text="Approved"/>
    <DataTemplate.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsApproved}" Value="False">
            <Setter TargetName="Test" Property="Text" Value="Not Approved"/>
        </DataTrigger>
    </DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>

It is now using a DataTrigger to check against a Binding, rather than a Trigger which only supports individual properties on objects being templated like Controls. I also simplified it to use a default value and single trigger to switch back and forth. When the trigger becomes inactive it will switch back to the original state (Text="Approved").

A: As long as your IsApproved property raised INotifyPropertyChanged then your DataTrigger will work.
And use <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsApproved}". .. instead of Trigger

This old fashioned pastry became famous in Denmark, when a very popular TV-host from a gardening show raved about it as the worlds best kringle. The recipe originates from Anne Magrethe in Hirtshals. She was a kogekone a kinda cook for when you had large family parties at a kind of community center. You got home cooked style food from a cook who was used to scaling up the amount of food. It was kinda catering before we had catering.
I do agree that this pastry or kringle is really good. It have a nice flakiness without being a lamination of traditional pastry. You can add raisins or some kind of jam as filling. I like it best when it is more traditional.
Mix water, yeast, sugar, eggs and diced butter together in the stand mixer bowl. Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Add flour and salt and knead the dough together. Do not over-knead the dough. Let the dough rise in a warm spot in the house for about 30 minutes.
Mix together the filling and put it in a piping bag, cutting a dime sized hole.
Preheat the oven 425℉ (220℃). Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
The dough is kinda sticky, so place the dough onto a well floured surface. Divide it into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out to a narrow rectangle, about the length of your baking sheet. Pipe the filling onto the middle of the rectangle leaving a small piece without in both ends. Fold the dough over the filling, and Pinch the ends tightly, to keep the filling inside. Gently press a dent lengthwise in the middle of the pastry. Place 2 pastries on each baking sheet. (I know, I'm a rebel, I did 3 and one). Brush on some egg wash, sprinkle with sugar and almond slivers. Let the pastries rise for about 15 minutes.
Bake the pastries for 15 minutes until dark golden brown.
Let the pastries cool on a wire rack. Serve the pastries slightly warm or at room temperature.


Even though the medical benefits of chiropractic care are well-documented (and the evidence is growing every year), people still want to make an intelligent choice when it comes down to choosing a practitioner. It's the same with any type of medical, nutritional or wellness treatment. There are so many options out there, so many care providers, and you want to find someone you can trust. You want a practitioner who not only delivers the highest standard of care, but makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in the process.
Beyond this, you want someone who is going to have your overall wellbeing in mind, and will help you establish a wellness strategy that works. After all, you're trusting a professional to make delicate adjustment to your spine, which is one of the most sensitive areas of your body.
There are millions of satisfied chiropractic patients every year, and many of them are very happy with the practitioner they've chosen. The fruits of their chiropractic sessions have been long-term relief of symptoms and overall health improvements.
On the other hand, there are experiences that aren't totally positive. In these cases, patients have unresolved complaints and issues with the chiropractic treatment they received, and often their best recourse is to write their honest feedback in a public forum or social media outlet.
So what are the three most common complaints against chiropractors?
Some people feel their chiropractor was simply "going through the motions" of a treatment session, without offering guidance and insight for long-term health and wellness. Reputable practitioners will always place emphasis on creating a healthier you overall, rather than simply trying to sign you up for future treatments.
Aside from treatment, people are rightfully concerned about billing in chiropractics. When the front office doesn't go the extra mile to make sure all insurance questions are answered and eligibilities are double-checked, or when fee structures are not made clear in the beginning, this leads to disputes down the line—and unhappy clients.
As highly trained practitioners of a respected wellness practice, chiropractors should put extra effort into creating a professional, clean, relaxing facility for clients to receive treatment. This doesn't always happen, and in some cases, facilities do not even meet the local or state requirements.
Are you confident in your chiropractic care practitioner?
There are a lot of excellent chiropractic practitioners out there, but there are also those who haven't done the best job of taking care of their clients. In order to make sure you settle in a reputable, qualified practitioner, it's important to know what the common complaints are—and how to steer clear of them. That way you can be totally confident about adding chiropractic care to your overall wellness plan and receiving the amazing, documented benefits of chiropractic care.

Webasto Mustang Lithium available for commercial electric trucks & vans
From an electric Mustang to an electric commercial truck, both Ford and Webasto had plenty to be excited about at this year's SEMA show.
Webasto, one of the top 100 global automotive suppliers, won Ford's 2019 Best of Show Stand Award for Outstanding Achievement in Design for Mustang Lithium, a one-off battery electric prototype with 1,000 ft-lbs of torque and over 900 horsepower.
The powerpack is not only providing the juice for Ford's new electric Mustang, it's also been tapped to propel commercial vehicles forward.
The Webasto CV standard battery system is designed for total scalability and configuration flexibility. Each battery pack has 35 kWh of energy and up to 10 packs can be used for a combined 350 kWh. With 400V and 800V versions available, the system can be easily configured via the vehicle interface box (VIB), which is the master battery management system and power distribution unit. It's a plug-and-play system that reduces development time and cost for the vehicle manufacturer.
"Webasto first entered the electric vehicle market in 2014 with the high voltage heater, as part of its strategic plan to serve its OEM customers as they moved more decisively into the e-mobility space," said Mark Denny, president and CEO of Webasto Customized Solutions in North America. "Our expansion into battery systems, battery testing equipment, thermal management and charging systems means that both small and large manufacturers now have a respected supplier with decades of experience working within the complex vehicle manufacturing environment, as well as with dealers across North America, Europe and China."
Within the battery pack, the self-contained modules also include desiccant cartridges that reduce condensation, integrated thermal runaway detection sensors and state-of-the-art pressure equalization monitors for added safety. Their compact, energy-dense format makes the battery packs easy for engineers to configure for use on virtually any vehicle platform.
Webasto offers both off-the-shelf solutions for the CV Standard Battery and custom developments for OEM projects. Using both active and passive cooling, electric fluid heating and heat pump configurations, Webasto thermal management is designed to keep battery systems in optimum operating temperature which enhances performance, range and battery life.
At the Mustang Lithium display, Webasto also featured its TurboDX Level-2 charging station. The charging unit that was shown connected to the Mustang Lithium is compatible with both plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles, and perfect for home, business and multi-unit dwelling applications.
The Webasto charging solution features a slim, compact design, a durable aluminum rear enclosure and a quick-read charging status indicator.
Webasto also offers the TurboCord portable vehicle charger. The TurboCord lets users take their charger with them wherever they go. It can be plugged directly into any standard 120-volt electrical outlet, or even a 240V outlet for quicker charge times, allowing total charging flexibility and freedom.
"With the introduction of our new modular battery system, thermal management and charging technologies, Webasto has demonstrated its commitment to vertically integrate itself within the North American commercial vehicle and automotive e-mobility marketplace," Denny said.

Iloilo Updates
News and lifestyle blog based in Iloilo City
Smart leads in PH mobile experience: Opensignal analysis
Smart won in 4 categories – Video Experience, Download Speed Experience, Upload Speed Experience and Latency Experience.
PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) delivers the best video experience across the Philippines and in 18 regions and provinces, based on the latest independent report from mobile analytics company Opensignal.
The Philippines Mobile Network Experience Report* September 2019, which covered the period May 1 to July 29, 2019 and independently analyzed over 533 million measurements from over 190,000 devices, found that Smart won in four categories—Video Experience, Download Speed Experience, Upload Speed Experience and Latency Experience—and scored a draw in 4G Availability.
Smart's Video Experience score was 47.6, well ahead of competition's score of 30.4.
"Smart's Video Experience score of 47.6 out of 100 places it comfortably in our Fair ranking bracket (40-55), which means its users may be able to watch videos with reasonable load times and minimal stalling at low resolutions," Peter Boyland, Opensignal senior analyst, wrote. "Globe's score of 30.4, however, is well into Poor ranking (0-40) territory, meaning its users will struggle to get anything close to an acceptable Video Experience, even at the lowest resolutions."
Smart won 4 awards in the latest Opensignal report. PLDT chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan received the awards from Opensignal executives Andy Burns and Rob Lerner. Also present during the ceremonies were Smart President Al S. Panlilio and PLDT-Smart chief technology and information advisor Joachim Horn.
In terms of overall Download Speed Experience, which factors in both 3G and 4G download speeds along with the availability of each technology, Smart posted 9.4 Mbps, ahead of Globe's 6.5 Mbps. In terms of 4G Download Speed alone, Smart scored 12.7 Mbps, compared to the competition's 8.3 Mbps.
In terms of overall Upload Speed Experience, Smart posted 3.3 Mbps, ahead of the competition's 1.7 Mbps.
In terms of Latency Experience, which is measured in milliseconds and refers to the delay users experience as data makes a round trip through the network, Smart also scored better at 61.9ms, compared to competition's 64.2ms. When measuring Latency Experience, a lower number is better.
Winning smiles. From left: Smart President Al S. Panlilio, PLDT chair Manuel V. Pangilinan, Opensignal chief operating officer Andy Burns, PLDT-Smart chief technology and information advisor Joachim Horn, and Opensignal regional vice president for Asia-Pacific Rob Lerner.
Smart leads in regional analysis
The latest Opensignal report also includes data from 19 regions and provinces across the Philippines – Aklan, Batangas, Benguet, Bulacan, Cavite, Cebu, Davao del Sur, Iloilo, Laguna, Metro Manila, Misamis Oriental, Negros Occidental, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Quezon, Rizal, South Cotabato and Tarlac.
Smart dominated Video Experience in 18 provinces, leading by as much as 29.4 points and 21.4 points in Nueva Ecija and Metro Manila, respectively.
In terms of Download Speed Experience, Smart was also ahead in Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Batangas, Quezon, Cebu, Iloilo, Misamis Oriental and South Cotabato, while in terms of Upload Speed Experience, Smart also led in 18 provinces.
In terms of Latency Experience, both operators scored a draw in most areas, with Smart leading in Metro Manila and Quezon province.
"These results are a testament to Smart's commitment to continuously improve and expand our network across the country in order to support our customers' growing appetite for mobile data," said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT-Smart senior vice president for Network Planning and Engineering.
Also present to receive the Opensignal awards are PLDT-Smart network leaders.
Amid Smart's Video Every Day and Giga Gaming offers, increasing data usage for video and games, alongside robust subscriber growth and increasing adoption of LTE SIMs and smartphones, have boosted PLDT's consumer wireless business revenues for the first half of 2019, which grew 20% year-on-year to P34.4 billion.
Powering these services is PLDT and Smart's sustained fixed and mobile network roll out and modernization. PLDT's total fiber infrastructure spanning over 283,000 kilometers at the end of June also supports Smart's mobile network by providing high-capacity links to its more than 19,000 LTE base stations.
PLDT has set aside a historic-high capital expenditure program in 2019 amounting to P78.4 billion, to further enhance the reach and capacity of its fiber-powered fixed line broadband network and LTE and 3G mobile networks, as well as modernize its IT support systems.

Vietnam Ministry of Finance Forms Research Group To Develop Digital Currency Policies
Source Blog
Baff1
Points: 5,072P
Cryptocurrencies are actively being considered an alternate form of financial instrument, and the blockchain technology powering it has already seen massive adoption all around the globe.
Vietnam is the latest country looking to study and formulate laws around digital currencies. The Vietnamese Finance Ministry has agreed to establish a research group who would be responsible for reviewing, analyzing and developing various regulatory policies around crypto-assets.
The research group was announced on 11th May by the ministry, which would comprise of 9 members. The members of the group would consist of:
General Department of Taxation, the country's securities regulator
National Institute for Finance
General Department of Vietnam Customs
Department of Banking and Financial Institutions of the State Bank of Vietnam
The research group would be led by the vice-chairman of the State Securities Commission, Pham Hong Son. The regulatory body would be responsible for keeping track of new updates and regulatory challenges associated with the ever-evolving crypto sector and help Vietnam respond to regulatory challenges with more preparedness to tackle them.
Is Vietnam Doubling Back on Its Decision?
Vietnamese Prime Minister gave the nod for the formulation of the regulatory framework back in 2017 which made many believe that the crypto assets will be a legalized for use as a form of an exchange or a legal tender.
However, in April 2018, the government deemed bitcoin as illegal tender, meaning that even though people and businesses can invest in bitcoin, it cannot be used as a form of exchange to buy or sell goods.
Just days after deeming Bitcoin as illegal tender, the government issued an order restricting credit companies from offering any form of service to crypto providers in order to contain any form of money laundering woes.
The service ban was similar to Indian Central Bank prohibiting banks restricting commercial and government banks to offer any service to digital asset service providers. Since then, the government has not made any regulatory changes towards the digital asset service providers, which make the current formation of the research team even more significant.
Many believe the newly formed team could be a game-changer for the digital asset ecosystem.
Since the government has observed that those nations which have worked around crypto-assets and regulated it over time with changes as per the demand have fared better than those who have either outright banned it or refused to formulate laws around it.
Despite the regulatory uncertainty, local business has tried to establish crypto exchanges in the country. However, only peer-to-peer platforms have managed to gain traction from the community.

Letter from Our Head of College
Dear Dulwich College Seoul Community,
It's hard to believe it has already been a year since I landed in Korea along with my family to lead Dulwich College Seoul. At that time, we were in the thick of a global pandemic that was ravaging communities across the globe. I came inspired to lead the charge to foster the kind of leaders who are passionate, kind and driven to make the world more just, equitable and sustainable.
It goes without saying that the past year has been marked with monumental challenges. Students, teachers and parents alike grappled with remote learning, all the while being unable to see friends or family. Staff and parents worked to ensure students did not fall behind and stayed healthy in mind, body and spirit. Staff worked around the clock to protect the safety and well-being of our entire community.
Despite uncertainty and unprecedented hardship, however, I was heartened to see how each and every one of our students, parents, teachers and staff pulled together. People stepped up to help and checked in with each other whenever they could, demonstrating remarkable strength and compassion. And we are stronger for it.
As a parent and member of staff myself, I can appreciate that it was not easy for all involved by any measure. I have been immensely heartened and humbled to see our community tackling every challenge with grace and the utmost resilience.
I am personally energized by the strides we have made thanks to all of your hard work and support, and I am excited about what the next year will bring!
The new year will bring another gift – a new and improved website! We hope to launch in the fall and can't wait for you to see it.
I would like to thank you for your unwavering support and trust throughout this unpredictable year. I bid farewell to the students and families who have graduated or are relocating. Best wishes in your new endeavours – please make sure to keep in touch. I wish you all a safe and healthy summer break with plenty of rest and relaxation.
As we tread carefully toward some semblance of normalcy, I look forward to seeing everyone ready for a fresh and exciting new academic year, replenished and renewed from the holiday.
If you are new to the DCSL community or simply wanting to get a closer feel for the College, please do take the time to explore the different areas of our website.
With my gratitude and best wishes,
Gudmundur Hegner Jonsson
Head of College

Safeguarding Message from Our Head of College
From the Dulwich College Seoul Philosophy and Objectives:
"At Dulwich College Seoul we believe that students come first by ensuring that we provide a safe and stimulating environment."
Dulwich College International (DCI) schools define safeguarding as the way in which we provide a safe and effective environment so that all our children can fully develop and learn. We take every step to ensure that children in our care are protected.
In putting students first in all that we do, the issues of safeguarding and child protection are of paramount importance in Dulwich College International schools. As a world-class organisation with a strong moral purpose, we make certain that every step is taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of each child in our care.
We believe that children should be respected and their views heard and that it is our responsibility to ensure that each child forms stable relationships with adults, built on trust and consistent support for children's individual needs. This approach guides the behaviour of all professionals in our schools. Our child centred approach to safeguarding is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We have adopted an open and accepting attitude towards children's concerns as a part of our responsibility for pastoral care. We aim to create an environment where parents and children will feel free to talk about any concerns and will view our College as a safe place if there are any issues either in or out of College.
Full details of our College Safeguarding Policy can be found in safeguarding related sections of this website and in our Parent Portal.

With end of 'The Good Wife' in sight, Alicia returns to where it all began
Image: Michael Parmelee/CBS
By Chancellor Agard 2016-02-15 03:10:34 UTC
With the end nigh, The Good Wife returns to where it all began: the 27th floor of Lockhart & Gardner.
Yes, as the last episode hinted, Alicia returns to Lockhart Agos & Lee as a junior partner and brings Lucca along with her. Unfortunately, there isn't enough room on the 28th floor for Alicia, so she is back on the 27th, where she began the series.
"27th floor again? Everything comes full circle doesn't it?" Eli notes when Alicia finds him laying on her couch. You know, how he used to do when they first met.
See also: CBS confirms in Super Bowl spot that 'The Good Wife' will end this season
As we've seen throughout this season, the show has been repeating itself, alluding to and echoing past events. Now that we know the show is ending, all of that has started to make sense. With everything Alicia has learned over these past seven season, it's time to take her back where she started and see how she will apply that all.
Coming home isn't as easy as you would think.
The power dynamics at play at Lockhart Agos & Lee are somewhat similar to that first season. Diane and Cary are on the same side; however, with Will's death, Alicia is on her own this time around. She doesn't have a named partner supporting her, which means she can't do anything she wants and has to answer to people. This causes some conflict since she has grown used to her independence over the past few months.
A case involving our favorite ridiculously named tech company, Chum Hum, causes her to butt heads with Diane and Cary. At first, Diane and Cary don't want to take the case because their currently in a weird place with Chum Hum and can't risk a lawsuit, but a joint FBI/TAPS (Technology Allied Protection Services) raid forces their hand. See, Howell, LAL's technology director (the guy who helped Kalinda fake that metadata last year), got his hands on the prototype for Chum Hum's new tablet after his girlfriend found it at a tech conference after party. Several gadget sites offer him money for the tablet, but he ends up getting arrested and Alicia spends the entire episode trying to prove the Feds didn't have probable cause.
As Alicia works on the case, she asks Lucca to help her. However, Cary and Diane, clearly trying to establish who has power, keep pulling Lucca away to work with Monica Timmons on the Dipple files. Cary and Diane also think Lucca and Monica will get along really well — and it's not because their names rhyme. You know why. No matter how much they try Cary and Diane can't get over these kinds of micro aggressions.
When Lucca continues to work on Alicia's case, Diane calls Alicia into her office for a chat that's reminiscent of the one they had in the pilot. Their conversation is bitingly cordial as Diane reminds Alicia that she's not at Florrick & Quinn anymore.
In the pilot, Diane complained to Will and some of the partners that Alicia was "a junior associate who doesn't think she's a junior associate." At that time, Alicia was adjusting to working for a big law firm and had forgotten how they worked. Now, many years later, she knows how everything works and is just choosing to challenge Diane and Cary's authority because she's learned so much and knows she's a great lawyer.
The Florricks are in trouble again
Before Ruth left, she warned Eli that someone would come after Peter. Well, she was right.
Roland, that undercover FBI agent from earlier in the season, has started poking around. Not only does he pay Judge Schakowsky a visit, but he also shows up at Marissa's place of work, a juice bar, and tries to get her to talk about the Florricks and her dad's work for them.
Marissa is Eli Gold's daughter, so she's immediately suspicious when Roland starts asking so many questions about her father and Alicia. When she tells her father about her lunch date turned interrogation and shows that she recorded it all, Eli beams with pride at his little girl.
"Now I get why people have children. They can admire themselves in someone else," he says.
Eli confronts Roland about his investigation and finds out that the entire force of the FBI and Justice Department is coming after Peter. They're looking to take him down. Yes, we're back to Peter being in someone's crosshairs for some shady business. We've been here before, and it'll be interesting to see how everyone handles this new situation having been through it already.
After a meeting with Eli, Ruth goes to see Alicia and gives her some advice.
"Mrs. Florrick, I don't want you to get too comfortable," Ruth says. "No question Peter loves you, but he can hurt you, drag you down, not only destroy everything you've done, but everything you want to do. Cash out while you still can."
This makes you think: Will The Good Wife end with Alicia abandoning that title> Will she finally make the move and divorce from Peter? That does seem like the inevitable conclusion of the series, don't you think?
"Monday" is tight episode that clips along at a steady, but quick pace thanks to focused writing and plotting and David Buckley's score. It's nice to have Alicia back under the same roof as Diane and Cary because the show was growing too spread out and as it heads toward the finish line, we want the focus back on the firm and not on presidential elections or what have you.
It's definitely time for The Good Wife to end, and Sunday's episode makes me excited to see how it wraps everything back up.
Case Notes:
Another way Alicia has changed: She's not afraid to flirt in public. Jason pays her a visit at the office, and their mutual attraction is palpable.
"Know any negro spirituals?" Monica jokes when Lucca comes to help her with the Diple files. I died.
What is up with Cary this season? How does someone who dates almost exclusively women of color not know what he's doing when he keeps suggesting that Monica and Lucca would really like each other.
Tonight's case definitely stretches plausibility. I find it hard to believe that Chum Hum is just now getting into the tablet business.

Signs of implantation are the first thing every planning woman looks for every month. They can be felt even before the missed period. If you want to confirm your pregnancy during the first weeks after conception, track your BBT with a special thermometer, notice your mood changes and food cravings, and start waiting for implantation spotting, cramping and other proven symptoms.
Signs of implantation can be a telltale first confirmation of a successful conception for some women. Fundamentally, implantation is a stage of each pregnancy that happens on average on the 9th day after ovulation. This process is described as the attachment of the fertilized egg, also known as a blastocyst, to the uterine lining. Not every woman has the same implantation symptoms and even the same symptoms during the first and the next pregnancies. In fact, it is pretty intriguing to point out that most women do not experience any signs associated with implantation.
Nonetheless, the signs associated with ovulation can be similar to those which are connected with successful conception. Hence, you should pay attention to timing and severity of your bloody discharge to distinguish them. But how can you know for sure whether you have possible symptoms of a successful implantation?
1. Spotting is one of the most common sings of implantation.
Spotting (also known as implantation bleeding) is quite often a primary symptom of ovulation, but if it happens for just a short period of time, around seven to ten days after ovulation, then it might be a powerful indicator of the fertilized egg implantation. It is one of the most typical implantation signs caused by the embryo embedment into the uterine wall. So, if you have some light spotting or bleeding before the beginning of your period, then it is not something to worry about.
It is vital to note that implantation bleeding does not follow the normal pattern of a period and is usually scanty, pinkish and not red and heavy like the latter. However, since spotting is a common occurrence for many women, especially between menstrual periods, it is not usually a wise idea to conclude that a zygote has implanted.
Implantation cramps resemble menstrual cramps and most women tend to mistake them for the start of their period. Some have re-counted cases of mild or moderate cramping in the lower abdomen and back that lasts for a day or two, unlike menstrual cramping. Implantation cramping can be associated with continual contraction of the uterine walls during embryo embedment and is more or less normal. However, occasionally cramps, especially if they are intense, can be a sign of more serious health problems. If they are unbearable or last too long, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
3. Breast changes (swelling, soreness and tenderness).
Swelling and tenderness of breasts is one of the most common complaints among those women who experience implantation symptoms. Ideally, female hormone levels change rapidly right after conception, and because of these changes, breasts tend to become tingly, swollen or sore. The timing and duration of this sign matters, because in some cases it can be also one of the ovulation symptoms. Basically, this means that if you feel breast tenderness 7 days after the possible day of ovulation, then there is a high probability that implantation might be taking place. Breast soreness associated with the normal monthly cycle lasts a day or two only.
4. Signs of implantation: high basal body temperature (BBT).
The majority of doctors have proposed that some BBT charts may be interpreted in a manner that suggests the occurrence of implantation. For instance, a rise to a third level of temperatures, represented triphasic BBT curve, or a decrease in temperature about a week after ovulation, represented by the implantation curve, can be used to determine if implantation has occurred or not. In fact, you will notice that your basal body temperature always remains high during your luteal phase if you usually chart your cycle and take temperatures on a regular basis. The rise in BBT is often caused by the hormone progesterone during ovulation and stays elevated if implantation occurs. Therefore, high basal body temperature can be used as a good sign of successful conception, and it will not drop, unless otherwise.
Approximately a week after successful conception you may find yourself dashing to the bathroom every hour. There you find out that you are just passing small amounts of urine. This is usually occasioned by the secretion of pregnancy hormone, called human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), by the embryo when it attaches itself to the uterine wall. This hormone signals the brain to increase blood supply in the pelvic region, and hence it results in your bladder becoming extremely irritable. In fact, you might find yourself waking up in the middle of the night more often than usual to urinate too.
6. Food aversions or cravings.
According to recent research studies, the majority of women have reported a sharp sense of smell or taste as a symptom of ovulation, but food aversion or craving is considered to be a prominent pregnancy indicator. This can be attributed to the fact that during or after implantation, certain hormones associated with carrying a child are produced, and they tend to make women develop a dislike for certain favorite foods and, on the contrary, craves for foods that were not favorites before implantation. Ideally, such hormones tremendously change the way most women taste or smell different dishes. Remember, that any food aversions and cravings that occur less than seven days after ovulation cannot be taken for symptoms of implantation.
As much as hot flashes are one of the less common indicators of implantation, a good number of women have reported cases of such condition, which last up to 50 minutes on the day of implantation. They are normally triggered by rapid fluctuations in hormone levels at the time of egg embedment. This indicator is not included by doctors in the list of implantation symptoms, because it`s rather inconsistent, but you can combine it with the ones discussed above if you want to confirm.
While these signs of implantation may be a convenient way to know if you are pregnant, the most reliable way would be to take a pregnancy test and to schedule a pelvic examination. Also, remember that some women do not experience these signs at all. Moreover, if any of these indicators causes additional health problems, consult your doctor right away.

Q: Docker compose run multiple commands one after another I recently started working with docker-compose and I am running into an issue where I won't get any helpful answers while googling. So what I want to do is running 2 commands on after another. First I want to train my model which places a trained model in a folder. The second command then runs the model. However, right now both commands start together and the image is loaded twice as well as the volume is created twice.
So my question is if it is possible to run multiple commands one after another, how does that work? I wonder as well, how my trained model is put into the volume docker-compose is running on? Can I somehow set a path to that volume as an output?
My docker-compose file so far:
version: '3.3'
networks: {rasa-network: {}}
services:
  rasa:
    image: rasa/rasa:latest-full
    ports:
      - "5005:5005"
    volumes:
      - ./rasa/:/app/
    command:  run -vv -m models/test_model/ --enable-api --endpoints endpoints.yml --credentials credentials.yml
    networks: ['rasa-network']
    depends_on:
      - training
      - duckling
  duckling:
    image: rasa/duckling:latest
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    networks: ['rasa-network']
  training:
    build: .
    image: rasa/rasa:latest-full
    command: train --data data/ -c config.yml -d domain.yml --out models/test_model
    volumes:
      - ./rasa/:/app/

A: According to the documentation of depends_on, Docker compose is not able to determine the readiness of a container, so as soon as the dependencies have started, the last container will start, ignoring if the other ones are ready or not.
The workaround you could do is to do a wrapper shell script that controls that the  dependencies (duckling and training) have finished doing their stuff before starting rasa. This means, if rasa needs some files from the other two containers, you can create an script to check if these files exist with a loop. If so, exit the loop and run the command you have. Otherwise, sleep some seconds and retry.
Then, the rasa command would execute only this script, for example:
command: ["./wait-for-dependencies.sh", "duckling", "training"]

You can have a look here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/startup-order/, they have made some examples for a similar use-case.

187) A 34 year old obese man presents with complaints of cough of 3 months' duration. His cough is non-productive and occurs daily. It is worse in the night. He also reports a need to clear his throat constantly. He denies any nasal congestion. He denies smoking or alcohol. He also reports a chronic history of heart burn for which he uses over the counter antacids intermittently. He works as a nurse in a health care facility. He denies any fever or night sweats or weightloss. On examination, throat is normal in appearance with out any exudate or erythema. Lungs are clear to auscultation. A Chest X-ray is normal. The most appropriate initial diagnostic step in evaluating his cough is :
A) Tuberculin skin test
B) Methacholine challenge
C) Albuterol trial
D) Omeprazole trial
E) 24 Hour esophageal pH monitoring

IT IS E FOR DIAGNOSING GERD

It sounds like GERD with throat irritation that creates a grunting cough during the day. He needs Proton pump inhibitor to releive the acidity that the pharynx is exposed to during the night. Also he needs to sleep with an angle of 45 degees to lessen his eruptions
usmlegalaxy, on October 11, 2011 at 12:54 am said:
Correct. Omeprazole trial is the most non-invasive step. It is both diagnostic and therapeutic in case of suspected GERD. A symptomatic response to PPI trial confirms the diagnosis of GERD. Invasive procedures such as 24 hr pH monitoring are reserved for patients with a) persistent or atypical symptoms of GERD despite the PPI trial and b) do not have evidence for mucositis on EGD ( both criteria a and b must be satisfied).
The approach after failed PPI trial is as follows: If the patient failed PPI trial, next step must be EGD. If the EGD showed evidence of reflux esophagitis, PPI failure must be considered and patient must be referred to surgical management of GERD. If the patient failed PPI trial and EGD did not show evidence of mucositis then 24 hr pH monitoring is justified.

I would trial proton pump inhibitors. If that doesn't work….do endoscopy for possible barretts or ulcers

Your feedback is important to us — we want to know if Te Kāuru is heading in the right direction.
Check out our summary document for all you need to know about Te Kauru.
Want to find out what proposals are near your property? Have a nosy at our Te Kāuru Volume 2 Interactive GIS map.
Have your say on Te Kāuru by Sunday 16 September 2018.
The upper Ruamāhanga catchment has a total area of 1560km². The catchment is made up of the Ruamāhanga River upstream of the confluence with the Waiohine and its tributaries the Waipoua and Waingawa rivers (which flow from the eastern side of Tararua Range), and the Kopuaranga, Whangaehu and Taueru rivers (which have their sources in the eastern Wairarapa hills). The catchment has a history of flooding, causing damage to private property and community assets.
Processes for managing flooding and erosion – through our river schemes – have been in place for some time. Our draft plan takes a long-term view of the whole catchment. We have been working with representatives from the community to develop a long-term approach to managing the flood and erosion issues. This work has resulted in the development of the draft Te Kāuru Upper Ruamāhanga Floodplain Management Plan (Te Kāuru).
We are currently seeking feedback on Te Kāuru for all areas except the Waipoua Masterton urban area. Feedback for the Waipoua Masterton urban area will be requested at a later date. Your feedback is important because we want to find out if the Te Kāuru is heading in the right direction.
A shift in approach is being proposed in Te Kāuru, which will give the rivers more space to flow naturally and carry out their natural processes within the channel and defined buffers.
If this shift in approach is adopted, it will mean people who own land along the river will have a level of protection and certainty from river erosion outside of the buffers. However, there may be erosion to their land within the buffers from time to time.
This shift reflects what your community representatives have told us is important to you. It also takes into account values that are important to the entire catchment, not just those factors that are flood related.
This is a long term project that will be implemented over decades.
Te Kāuru seeks to recognise a wide range of the community's values in how we manage the rivers. Therefore, we are proposing that the local share of costs be spread across the wider community rather than falling mainly on adjacent landowners.
We've have separated the plan intothree volumes to make it easier to read.
*Volume 3: Values, issues and responses for the Waipoua Masterton urban area.
Keen to talk to someone about Te Kāuru?


So about those lifestyle changes. I have struggled with endometriosis for as long as I can remember having my period. Extreme cramps, heavy bleeding, 10 day long periods, chronic pain. It got to a point in my late twenties that it hurt so bad to bend over and feed my cats that I broke down crying. I remember walking tilted to one side from the pain in my left side. At that point I decided to have surgery, which was effective and I went on medication after that to control it. I had a few good pain free years, but then slowly, then pain started creeping back up on me.
Recently, I made the decision to have the surgery again and use a more natural approach to controlling the disease. I'm still researching like crazy on how to do this. I will be using diet, excercise, acupuncture, and some other holistic methods. I believe in Hippocrates saying "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food".
I have been researching and experimenting with healthy eating for years and I was surprised that I never came across eating for endometriosis. There is plenty of info and several books on the topic. The basics include avoiding gluten, caffiene, sugar, alcohol, dairy, and red meat. As you can imagine, I am deeply saddened by this list. I love all those things! But, I love my health and feeling good even more, so I'm going for it. At least by the 80%-20% rule to start. I will also increase greens and veggies, cut back on soy, make chicken bone broth to sip on. (It is supposed to be very nourishing to the blood). I am also taking vitamins and herbs, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, and using massage and castor oil paks on my belly.
So what can I eat? I have been eating lots of salads, seeds, nuts, fruits and veggies, salmon, hard boiled eggs, gluten free bread, quinoa, hummus.
Again I promise, within a day or 2 I will post the wedding pics. Stay tuned and have a wonderful night!!
We took a train from Paris to Amsterdam. It was a highlight that I had been looking forward to. It was a 3 hour ride through the countryside. They served lunch and snacks and drinks, and it was terrific!
Our apartment was our favorite of the trip. Great space, tastefully decorated and some goodies to enjoy. Love the gorgeous pink peonies!
We spent 2 and a half wonderful days there, wandering the streets, floating on the canal, eating some great food, and seeing some "interesting" things.
The second night we had a unique experience at an Italian restaurant. This was an authentic small restaurant. The idea here was you get 5 small plates to share. The waiter ordered for us since the menu was written in Italian, we had very little idea of what we were getting. The wine came out and it was superb. Then came a bowl of melty cheese with honey in the center to slather on crispy bread.
And finally the margerhita pizza…no words.
I loved the tiny cars!
We had a blast. Our honeymoon went by way too fast. It was everything I imagined and more! We grew closer, fell even more in love, and made the best memories.

Failure Mode Transition in Unidirectional E-Glass/Vinylester Composites under Multiaxial Compression
Oguni, K. and Tan, C. Y. and Ravichandran, G. (2000) Failure Mode Transition in Unidirectional E-Glass/Vinylester Composites under Multiaxial Compression. Journal of Composite Materials, 34 (24). pp. 2081-2097. ISSN 0021-9983. doi:10.1177/002199800772661912. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20150227-103857534
Results from an experimental investigation on the mechanical behavior of a unidirectional fiber reinforced composite with 50% volume fraction E-glass/vinylester and the vinylester matrix under uniaxial and proportional multiaxial compression are presented. The stress-strain curve and the acoustic emission records together with the post-mortem observations on the specimen show the failure mode transition from axial splitting to kink band formation as the loading condition changes from uniaxial to proportional multiaxial compression. Axial splitting and "splitting induced" kink band formation were observed in the uniaxially loaded specimen and the multiaxially loaded specimen showed conjugate kink bands and no axial splitting.
