Looks like Sebago Lake ..... Don't think it ever freezes completely being so deep?
Found a hole big enough for the boat. Used Steve's boat today he wanted to winterize it That evinrude is pretty cool the way it does it automatically. The fishing was great and it was awesome to get on the water .....I was starting to get the shakes....Catching not so good. Steve was washing the boat when I left him getting an appreciation for just how trashed towing in the winter gets a boat. We usually take mine.
Glad to see you got out there, Eric!
No chance of it here, with the ice we've got right now. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go.
Hope for an early spring?
Went by Chapmans today and it did look wide open!
Well, this current wave of very cold weather has everything iced over 100% again!
But on the bright side, the days are getting longer! It's no longer dark at 4:45 PM!
yes days are getting longer!! and the fishing equip is slowly arriving, half my reels are cleaned and lubed, tackle cleaned out and organized. Next is get the boat in the garage, install new fish finder and recess the trolling motor foot pedal, its all slowly coming to gether.
So I'm assuming that you got a new boat? What did you end up with after the whole warranty fiasco? Show some pictures!
I am installing a DSI 7 and am buying a kit to recess the foot pedal.
Glad to hear they took care of it for you. That's what they should have done a long time ago!
Stopped by Chapman's Pond yesterday just to take a look. There were a few guys on the ice, right next to the boat ramp.
Another Hawg Forum member happened to be there talking to them and stopped at my truck to chat. He said that the ice was 4 inches thick, which surprised me in light of the very cold nights and days we've had. I really though it would be thicker, but then again it was wide open last week.
I sat there watching and then talking for at least 20 minutes but didn't see a single flag go up. I was told that they had caught just one bass at that point.
With the temps coming up this week, it definitely won't be thawing out anytime soon!
Chapmans can be a really slow pond for ice fishing action. Big fish potential but slow on the numbers!

'Daredevil' #36 marks the end of the current series — but Marvel promises more
Chip Zdarsky and Manuel Garcia will present an oversized final issue, while Marvel plans an announcement for Aug. 31.
Daredevil seems to bring the best out in its writers; from Frank Miller and Ann Nocenti to Ed Brubaker and Mark Waid, the title has enjoyed several epic, career-defining runs in its history. It's really been no different for Chip Zdarsky, who has worked with artists like Marco Checchetto and Manuel Garcia to tear down Matt Murdock's life, create a new one for Elektra and, of course, help the Kingpin find new love.
All that comes to a head in November's oversized Daredevil #36, which Marvel says is the last issue of the current run, but not Zdarsky's final issue of Daredevil.
"I know writers like to say things like, 'It's all been building toward this!!' but, really, it has," Zdarsky told Marvel.com. "When I sat down to write issue one, I knew that this issue was waiting and that it was going to drastically alter the lives of the Daredevil cast. Issue 36 is NOT an ending, it's a beginning."
cover by Marco Checchetto
It's a wedding issue, according to Marvel, which don't always go as planned (see also: wrestling weddings): After a romance that's blossomed over the last two years in DAREDEVIL, Mayor Wilson Fisk and Typhoid Mary are prepared to tie the knot! But in a fashion truly befitting The House of Ideas, calamity is right around the corner for the happy couple! Also discover who will be left standing as Daredevil: Matt Murdock or Electra Natchios?
It sounds like some sort of relaunch is coming, with Zdarsky still at the helm. Even more interesting is that Marvel gives us a date for when to expect an announcement, not only for Daredevil but for other projects as well:
Make sure to keep your eyes on Marvel's social channels on Tuesday, August 31st as we celebrate Marvel's Birthday by revealing the next chapter of Chip Zdarsky & Marco Checchetto's run on DAREDEVIL along with additional new projects from your favorite creators that will shape the past, present and future of Marvel Comics!
So I'll see you back here on Aug. 31.

"... That was after the cervix had opened up and the baby had started coming out. So they were telling me to stop pushing and wait for the doctor yet the baby had started coming out. Like you may be feeling pain and you are calling out 'doctor, doctor' then they just say to each other 'leave that one alone we are used to her'. So by the time they come, the baby may have already come out".
Contrast this to my experience of giving birth to our first child in a Canadian public hospital. My labor took 14 hours, fairly standard for a first delivery. And I was never alone, not for one second... During the hardest parts, I had three caregivers with me. If someone needed to leave the room, one of them would always remain behind.
Childbirth is amazing and beautiful. It is also totally overwhelming. It is not something a woman can or should do alone, in any country. This is not about being strong or weak, rich or poor, this is not tribal. This is about being right (that we celebrate once a year on this day) that all women have to dignify, quality care during childbirth. And this is the standard we must reach in Africa. All African women have the right to never be abandoned during childbirth, and we must do better.
"The issue of mothers saying nurses are bad must be dealt with in the community. They should be informed that nurses are not bad. Ideally, any mother who has delivered in a hospital is slapped on the thighs to facilitate or encourage her to push because if the mothers do not push the danger is obvious".
This perspective is combined with research findings that women themselves believe that physical abuse is justified to make women 'cooperate' and 'focus on the birth process'. In other words, physical abuse is acceptable and is in the interests of a safe delivery.
This is ridiculous. Those of you who have delivered a baby will agree that when you are in labor, there is absolutely nothing else you are capable of focusing on – other than the birth process. It's preposterous to say slapping someone doing the hardest job of her life will in any way help her to do that job.
Unfortunately, this mentality is widespread. The justification of slapping women during the second stage of labor, or to comply during vaginal exams, has emerged as a common theme in the training we've provided to health workers in Africa on a rights-based approach to maternity care.
Last year on this day I called on all of us to recognize that failures in the health system play a role in creating the working conditions in which health workers mistreat their clients. This remains true.
This year, I would like to call on my fellow nurses to think deeply. We must stop hiding behind excuses, and we must hold each other accountable. I believe that deep down, we all know that it is wrong to slap or pinch a woman in labor. This is not how we were trained.

Sri Lankans and irregular migration: A journey to die for?
18 December 2013 04:38 am - 0 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
By Chandana Karunaratne
On December 3, 2013, the Australian government announced a new policy that aimed to further discourage the arrival of irregular migrants in Australia. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison announced that effective immediately, the government has put a cap on permanent protection visas for asylum seekers arriving by boat.
This means that those asylum seekers, who are already in Australia, will be left in a state of limbo with no prospects of obtaining work permission until the cap is reset in mid-2014. Critics have labelled the move "brutal" but the Tony Abbott-led government insists that this is a necessary move to combat the activities of people smugglers and discourage the dangerous sea voyage that many, including Sri Lankans, have unfortunately attempted.
During the period 2011-2012, there were 825 recorded cases of Sri Lankan nationals attempting irregular maritime arrivals (IMA) in Australia. This constituted approximately 11 percent of all IMAs in the country during that period.
As IMAs from Sri Lanka clearly constitute a significant portion of the total, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service has begun issuing Sinhalese and Tamil notices in the form of radio and TV advertisements and flyers in Sri Lanka that discourage the dangerous maritime journey, featuring case studies and information on the consequences of attempting the voyage.
Australia is among a handful of countries that draw irregular Sri Lankan migrants to their shores. In the European Union (EU), the most popular destinations for undocumented Sri Lankan nationals seeking residency and/or work opportunities through irregular means were the UK, France and the Netherlands, as of 2010. The most number of cases of undocumented Sri Lankan nationals who have been ordered to leave was recorded in the UK and out of the 1,685 undocumented nationals, only 46 percent departed the UK of their own free will.
Likewise, in France, a total of 1,080 undocumented nationals were ordered to leave, out of which a mere 10 percent departed of their own free will. Taking into account all nationalities, it is estimated that there are between 1.9 and 3.8 million irregular migrants in the EU, which constitute between 7 and 13 percent of the overall migrant population.
Canada is another popular destination for irregular Sri Lankan migrants, particularly for those travelling by boat. The extensive coastline enables people smugglers to target several points of entry but a primary hotspot for irregular maritime arrivals is off Vancouver Island on the western coast. In one well-documented incident that occurred in October 2009, Vancouver Island played host to 76 irregular maritime arrivals of Sri Lankan nationals.
In another incident, one which helped change Canada's refugee policy, 492 Sri Lankan nationals arrived off the coast of Victoria, British Columbia in August 2010. However, the total number of IMAs could be much higher, as official sources in Canada indicate there were 635 recorded cases of Sri Lankan nationals seeking asylum in 2011.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that the predominant nationality of maritime arrivals on the western coast of Canada, after having crossed the North Pacific Ocean from South East Asia, is Sri Lankan.
A common practice is for these IMAs to use Bangkok, Thailand as a transit point, oftentimes temporarily residing in safe houses until they make their journey to the southern part of the country where they board fishing vessels ready to take them across the Pacific Ocean.
Dangers of irregular migration
In many cases, migrants who make the payment prior to being smuggled by sea have done so by selling property and other assets, or borrowing extensively from family members and friends. These lenders may have given up a substantial portion of their savings to finance the migrant's journey. By doing so, communities may lose valuable financial assets and economic empowerment to a cause which may ultimately not be successful, given that the migrant's journey is fraught with danger and a high degree of risk.
Even if the migrant is successful in reaching his destination, he still faces the difficult task of finding work and a sufficient source of income. Given the fact that the fee that many migrants have to pay to be smuggled is several times their annual income in Sri Lanka, it is clear that there is an enormous amount of pressure on the migrant to find work and earnings that are sufficient enough to cover any debt they may have incurred.
However, a lack of employment opportunities in the host country and desperation to pay back these debts may force migrants to undertake illegal activities, further implicating them in a life of crime and risking serious consequences if caught by law enforcement authorities.
Those who do manage to make these payments are usually transported to safe houses that act as pre-departure points that temporarily house these migrants. But these safe houses are rarely safe. In many cases, migrants waiting to travel by boat are crowded into squalid premises and are forced to wait up to several months before making their sea voyage. They may be confined to these premises by armed guards in order to maintain secrecy and order and may be mistreated and suffer from physical and emotional abuse as well.
In some cases, migrants are forced to work for their smugglers before continuing their journey in order to repay them for the food and lodging provided in these safe houses. This work could entail recruiting other migrants but could also involve smuggling drugs across oceans and through borders, jeopardizing their safety and implicating them in particularly serious criminal offenses.
After the transit period in these safe houses, the migrants are transported to sea vessels. Oftentimes these vessels are overcrowded and are lacking in basic sanitary requirements. Some of those who do survive the sea voyage have reported a severe lack of hygiene and the presence of faeces, urine and vomit during the journey, potentially leading to the spread of disease.
There may also be scarce supplies of food and water; in May 2011, severe dehydration and starvation led to 61 deaths on board a vessel in the Mediterranean Sea. Life vests may not be provided and in many cases are an additional expense; for poorer migrants these may be a luxury item they cannot afford. Overcrowded and rough sea conditions can lead to migrants falling overboard and without any safety equipment, often perish at sea.
Physical and sexual assault are not uncommon on these journeys. In particular, women may be subjected to systematic rape and abuse and in some cases may be forced to carry out sexual favours for their smugglers in order to complete their journey. The treatment of migrants by their smugglers can reach levels of criminal assault but their irregular status means they are often reluctant to report these crimes to law enforcement authorities.
The causes of death of migrants en route to their final destination are often unknown, as bodies may be lost at sea. However, some estimates indicate that over 2,000 irregular migrants perish at sea every year. In October 2013, over 350 bodies were recovered after a boat carrying asylum seekers caught fire and capsized off the coast of Lampedusa in Italy.
In another well-documented case, approximately 350 individuals died when an unseaworthy vessel sank off the coast of Indonesia on its way to Australia in 2001. A further 50 lives were lost when a ship crashed into rocks off Christmas Island in Australia in 2010. In fact, between October 2009 and June 2012, 605 irregular migrants died at sea while attempting the perilous journey to Australia.
A report carried out by the Australian Crime Commission and published in 2013 states that Sri Lanka is among the top four source countries of asylum seekers arriving by boat. As border protection measures are strengthened, as is the case in Australia and Canada, smugglers are undertaking increasingly risky methods of transporting migrants, thereby endangering their lives.
As border control measures become more stringent and the dangers of sea voyages become more apparent, there is a need to question what policy measures can be put in place to deter individuals from undertaking irregular maritime migration, including mechanisms implemented by both source countries and destination countries.
Methods of curbing irregular migration
Among the most pressing concerns related to curbing irregular migration is addressing the root causes of such activities. Lack of socio-economic development and widespread poverty in certain parts of the country are key push factors that force individuals to undertake the dangerous maritime journeys to other countries.
As of now, there are very few mechanisms the government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) has put in place that aim to deter its country's nationals from attempting these life-threatening voyages. Potential migrants may be ill-informed about the dangers of people smugglers and the risks associated with traveling in their company.
Awareness campaigns about these potential dangers with case studies placed in newspapers, local television channels and radio stations could benefit potential migrants in allowing them to make more informed decisions prior to attempting these journeys.
The GoSL could also enlist the cooperation of local community leaders to inform their followers about the dangers involved, particularly leaders of religious and ethnic communities in areas that have high rates of irregular migrant departures, thereby tapping into key information channels through which potential migrants may be influenced.
Apart from these mechanisms related to raising awareness, there is limited evidence of other effective means of discouraging migrants from first attempting the journey. However, there are methods that can be implemented to deter repeat offences of irregular migration, with destination countries playing a potentially important role.
For example, these countries can introduce reintegration programmes for migrants upon returning to their home country. Such programmes aim to deter individuals from making repeated attempts by helping provide them with a livelihood and a sustainable source of income upon their return.
One such programme is provided by the Australian government, with the collaboration of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and involves a six-month reintegration programme that aims to provide returned irregular migrants with the means to develop their skill sets and obtain employment locally. The programme involves creating a personal profile with a potential skill set for each individual and subsequently matching their profile with specific occupational areas.
Funding is then provided to develop these skill sets through the purchase of physical capital, such as tractors, livestock, or three-wheelers, or through support for vocational training programmes so that migrants may acquire new skills. Doing so could help ensure that these individuals have a sustainable income stream and are not forced to resort to repeated incidences of illegal migration. Other destination countries can adopt similar approaches, thereby easing pressure off the source country to curb irregular migration on its own.
As the dangers of these journeys are becoming increasingly apparent, it is imperative that both source countries and destination countries engage in cooperative measures to help discourage these high-risk and potentially life-threatening activities. Doing so will not only help ensure the safety of these migrants, but could also provide them with a renewed sense of socio-economic empowerment.

After 15 years of owning a bondo'd up rusted out maaco painted Z I finally get a good condition one with original paint and while cleaning it up this morning I discover that someone took their key and made a little 4" partial loop on the passengers door while walking by it.
I've only had it a couple months, it's only been in a parking lot probably less than a half dozen time and probably on 2 or 3 since the last time it was cleaned. Always parked well away from other cars and never for long.
Fortunately, they didn't put a lot of time or effort into it so it only goes all the way through the paint for about half of it but it still takes the fun out of owning something nice.
Sportscars FTW!
That really blows. Sorry to hear about it, and I hope it doesn't happen again. Sad when people don't mature past grade school, isn't it?

Better advice, don't key anyone's car - no matter how "whack." People who key other's cars don't deserve to have their own in my opinion. I always thought keying, tire slashing, sugar in the tank and the like were all chicken---- acts by gutless turds (pardon my French). You don't mess with another man's (or woman's) car -- it just isn't right .

Thats like a law of nature. I got mad as hell when I came out of Target one night to find the jackass in the mustang next to me had spit 3x on my car. I was steaming out of the ears. Another night someone tried to smash the window in my Buick, but it bounced off and broke the mirror insted. I hate people who have no respect for someone else's property.
I dont mess with anyones car. And i have no idea how you came to that conclusion. But if someone else is going to mess with someones car, the least they could do is choose a lame car to mess with.
I never said you messed with anyone's car, I was referring to your comment: "...if they gonna key something up key up a whack car." If I misunderstood what you said, then that is my mistake. Just feel to key a car "whacked" or not, is wrong. It would not make it better because that "whacked" car belongs to someone who would probably also feel bad about it, maybe not as bad as they would feel if they had a classic car, but bad just the same.

But talk about something that likely to get vandalized:

what, the paint job or keying the car?
the paint job. But from the other thread I can see I'm the exception in that view.
I mean, I guess you could paint SS emblems or a schwastica on a VW if you wanted to tie the car in to that history. But I can't imagine a sane person thinking of doing that. Somehow the Japanese came away from that war with a far better reputation than the Germans while committing atrocities that would have made the Germans sick to their stomachs.
Am I ashamed to be driving a Japanese built car? No, but I don't want to associate it with that legacy.
And I have far too much respect for our own WWII veterans, the things they went through and the things they saw done by the Japanese in that war to drive around in something like that, anymore than I would fly a Japanese flag on my house.
i do see your point of view, and without getting too political, i don't think that the japanese internment camps were along the lines of human rights. really, a war is a war, but comparing what the japanese did to the genocide of nazi germany is quite a bit extreme, as i'm sure you realize. but i digress.

I have a Japanese battle flag that I occasionally drape over my open hood at shows. Have caught some comments about it but nothing overt. I am just displaying my cars heritage, not making a political statement. I also had a boss many yrs. ago (over 30) that drove a Toyota. The rear bumper had nothing but USMC stickers on it. He was definitely a WW II vet. Letting bygones be bygones.

This isn't really the right place for this conversation, but this is a flawed argument. Remember, the war started in the Far East well before the Germans went into Poland, and the US got in much later than that. There were sixteen million Chinese casualties during their conflict with Japan. Ever hear of the Rape of Nanking? If 300K murders in six weeks isn't systematized killing, I don't know what is.
You are comparing apples and apples, my friend. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were roughly equal to each other in terms of their capacity for absolute evil.
I feel for you. Whoever did this, they did so because they were jealous. You have a nice car and they're envious....it's just too bad they can't put more energy into being constructive instead of destructive.
just for the record, i don't condone what any parties did during WWII, and i am removing myself from that conversation as i don't feel that this is the proper forum to discuss anything politically motivated.
anyway, it DOES really suck that people think that keying a car is a good solution to anything. it really pisses me off to think that people would do it to such a classic car in such nice shape.

I've often wondered if parking my cars well away from other cars(at the extreme outer limits of a parking lot) might actually invite morons to do damage because it probably makes my cars more noticeable. Haven't had anyone key my Z yet, but I did have a shopping cart put a $400 dent in my one month old 2006 Civic(I parked at the bottom of a slanted parking lot, allowing the shopping cart to gain enough speed to do the damage. Live and learn). About the only consolation after getting your car keyed is knowing that the freak who did it is stewing in his own resentment of people owning something nice. Not much, but something. Victor.
Yeah, shopping carts are bad news if you're parked at the lower end of a sloping parking lot. I have seen people unload their packages, and then, instead of securing the cart, they will just give the cart a shove and let it sail away down the parking lot (and into anyone's car who happens to be parked down there).
those are the kind of people that are inviting a punch to the face. seriously, what kind of person would do that?
In this instance, they looked to be your average Wal-Mart shoppers.....
^i will refrain from commenting
Here shopping carts rarely go on out of control excursions. Probably because my state is about as flat as an ironing board.
Yeah, I grew up in the hills of DeLand (a few hours north of you). I think we were ten feet above sea level there.

'Gut-wrenching': Rep. Quentin Williams, a rising political star, killed in wrong-way accident
Image Source: CT Insider
Quentin Williams, a 39-year-old Connecticut state representative, died in a car accident when a wrong-way driver crashed his head into his vehicle. The crash happened Thursday morning when Quinton returned home from the governor's inauguration ball. Both William and Quinton were pronounced dead on the spot.
Democratic House speaker Matt Ritter and House Majority Leader Jason Rojas announced his death on behalf of his family in a public statement which reads:
"I am in shock," "Q was my dear friend, and I am scarred by his sudden loss." Ritter said. "We will have time to reflect on Q as a legislator in the weeks to come, but right now, I deeply mourn my friend and send all of my love to Carrissa, Queen and Q's family. We will all miss Q."
Image Source: CT Mirror
According to the statement of the police, Williams was driving south on Route 9 in Cromwell, heading towards Middletown, when suddenly, a vehicle going on the wrong way struck his head shortly after 12:30 a.m.His car then blazed, and he died on the spot. The wrong-way driver was identified as Kimede Mustafaj,27, of Manchester, Connecticut, who has also pronounced dead in the collision. Officials are investigating the circumstances which led to the crash.
Quentin is considered a rising political star, and his death shocked his colleagues and friends. A day before his death, Quentin became the General Assembly's Labour and Public Employees Committee co-chairman. The committee was scheduled for its first meeting on Thursday. Still, unfortunately, after the news of his demise came out, the state Capitol and Legislative Office Building were closed, and all legislative activities were postponed till Monday. Before General Assembly's Labour and Public Employees Committee, Williams served as the legislature's Housing Committee co-chairman.
In an interview state, Sen. Matthew Lesser said to the associated press: "I was so proud of him and his incredible accomplishments and had so much hope for what he was yet to do,"
"Just last night, with the governor's ball, he got pulled into a work meeting with his Labor (committee) co-chair and they were fiercely coming up with plans for the incoming legislative session," Lesser said. "So it's just, it's just gut-wrenching."
Image Source: Hartford Courant
Gov. Ned Lamont directed flags to be lowered to half-staff.
"This is devastating news, and I am incredibly saddened by this tragedy," the governor said. "Quentin had an infectiously optimistic personality, and he absolutely loved having the opportunity to represent his lifelong home of Middletown at the State Capitol. Public service was his passion, and he was always advocating on behalf of the people of his hometown."
Many officials from Democrats and Republicans on the local, state and federal levels paid tribute to the rising political star.
House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora said in a statement: "Representative Williams was a young, emerging leader who deftly balanced forward-looking thoughtfulness with passion and charisma in his work at the Capitol and within his community,"
"He was incredibly proud of his education, Middletown High School and him being able to succeed and graduate from college and then go on to graduate school," Lesser said. "He loved the community. He knew everybody."
Middletown Mayor Ben Florsheim said in a statement: "Representative Williams truly embodied the phrase larger than life," "His laugh, smile, and presence were felt in every space shared with him. His passing is a true loss for our community. A light has been dimmed today."

Surge in UK businesses switching bank account providers
The UK system that makes it easy to change bank account has seen a surge in businesses taking up the service
Karl Flinders, Emea Content Editor, Computer Weekly
Published: 25 Jul 2019 12:45
Twice as many businesses switched bank account provider using the UK's Current Account Switch Service (Cass) in the second quarter of this year compared to last year.
According to the latest figures from Pay.UK, which operates Cass, 17,687 businesses switched bank account providers, compared to 8,000 in the same three-month period in 2018.
In total, including consumers and businesses, almost six million account switches have taken place on Cass since it was launched in 2013, with almost 247,000 accounts added in the second quarter of this year.
The boost in businesses follows more information being provided about current accounts as well as an advertising campaign aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The switching service has a 98.9% success rate.
Matthew Hunt, chief operating officer at Pay.UK, said it is very important that businesses as well as consumers realise they can easily change accounts. "It is right that businesses can benefit from competition in this area, and we are committed to providing a switching service that enables this," he said.
"There can be many benefits gained from switching current accounts and our aim is to continue to ensure that consumers are aware of the options available to them, and to switch providers simply and easily in the event they choose to do so."
There is increasing choice for businesses, particularly SMEs, when it comes to bank accounts. Challenger banks are taking on traditional banks in the business sector.
For example, Monzo will soon be launching a business account. It began developing a business banking account after a survey of customers revealed this is what they wanted next.
Meanwhile, Starling Bank is expanding its business banking accounts to larger SMEs, after it launched its mobile business bank account for single-person businesses, initially.
Cass was introduced by the Banking Commission in 2013. It is designed to simplify and speed up the process of changing bank account providers for consumers, small businesses and charities.
Vocalink built the service's IT platform, with IT services company CGI overseeing the overall project. The two-year project cost £750m, including central IT changes and those of participants as well as marketing.
Read more about seven-day switching service
Payment Council figures on the number of consumers who switched accounts could indicate the beginning of a new era in UK retail banking.
The IT system that underpins government's regulation of seven-day bank account switching is underused.
Current account holders in the UK can now switch banks within seven days following the launch of Cass.

Q: Function called inside an variable returns undefined I am trying to get output from an function, where on calling it it should return  John temp (2021) but am getting John undefined (undefined)

const user = {
    username : 'John',
    type: 'temp',
    yearJoin: 2021,
    userString(){
        function getUserDetails (){
            return `${this.type} (${this.yearJoin})`
        }
        return `${this.username} ${getUserDetails()}`;
    }
}
console.log(user.userString())

A: You need to set the scope of the getUserDetails call to this:
getUserDetails.call(this)

See:

const user = {
  username: 'John',
  type: 'temp',
  yearJoin: 2021,
  userString() {
    function getUserDetails() {
      return `${this.type} (${this.yearJoin})`
    }
    return `${this.username} ${getUserDetails.call(this)}`;
  }
}

console.log(user.userString());

You can clean this up, by moving the getUserDetails function up as a method on the object:

const user = {
  username: 'John',
  type: 'temp',
  yearJoin: 2021,
  getUserDetails() {
    return `${this.type} (${this.yearJoin})`
  },
  toString() {
    return `${this.username} ${this.getUserDetails()}`;
  }
}

console.log(user.toString());

Now take it one step further, as a class, and you have:

class User {
  constructor({ username, type, yearJoin }) {
    this.username = username;
    this.type = type;
    this.yearJoin = yearJoin;
  }
  getUserDetails() {
    return `${this.type} (${this.yearJoin})`
  }
  toString() {
    return `${this.username} ${this.getUserDetails()}`;
  }
}

const user = new User({
  username: 'John',
  type: 'temp',
  yearJoin: 2021
});

console.log(user.toString());

Home / Newsroom / Press Releases / Prioritizing the Environment this Legislative Session
VT environmental groups unveil priorities for 2023
Photo Credit: Creative Commons/Jared C. Benedict
January 13, 2023 (MONTPELIER, VT) – A coalition of Vermont environmental groups has announced a shared list of priorities for the new legislative session. The groups are pushing for a strong affordable heat act, a tougher renewable energy standard, and river corridor protections. Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) released the following statement.
"Vermont has made tremendous progress in the last few years, but there is a lot of work left to do and we can't afford to let up now," said Dale Azaria, Interim Vice President of CLF Vermont. "Climate impacts are already threatening our way of life. It's time to go further to expand clean energy and protect our precious waters and resources. We'll be working with legislators throughout the session to make these shared goals a reality."
CLF is working with allies to push forward a stronger Affordable Heat Act that could reduce the use of climate-polluting fuels for home heating, make clean and efficient heating appliances and home weatherization affordable for Vermonters living with low- and moderate-incomes, and ensure that the climate pollution from heating sources is accurately accounted for.
The groups are also advocating for all of Vermont's electricity to come from new renewable sources built across the region and here in Vermont, and pushing for new river corridor protections that would reduce the impacts of flooding and make our communities more resilient by creating a new permit requirement for any new development in river corridors.
Finally, CLF is also advocating for a bill to reduce polluting plastic in Vermont's waters. This legislation would reduce plastic pollution in Vermont's lakes, ponds, and rivers by prohibiting the use of unencapsulated polystyrene and encapsulated loose-bead polystyrene for floating docks and mooring buoys.
CLF experts are available for further comment.

Whether you are missing some or all of your natural teeth, you can derive many benefits from replacing them with full or partial denture. Replacement teeth help fill out your smile by giving support to the cheeks and lips. Replacement teeth create a more youthful, vibrant appearance by holding up facial muscles and aiding in speaking, chewing, swallowing, and smiling.
You may find some minor speech differences with your new appliances, however, Dr. Hopkins will be explaining to you some simple, at-home techniques and therapies to overcome these differences.
You may also find that you occasionally bite your tongue or cheek until you get used to having the spaces filled. We recommend that you start off with a semi-soft diet, avoiding sticky or hard foods, and cut your food into smaller bites (half your normal bite size).
To clean your new teeth, use a soft bristle toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for dentures to avoid scratching the surfaces of your appliances. Your dentures should be brushed twice a day and should be soaked in a denture bath overnight. We do not recommend the use of denture adhesives unless it is absolutely necessary. Using a denture adhesive may make the dentures fit incorrectly.
Why Do I Have To Take My Teeth Out At Night?
Taking Your partial of full dentures out at night is a part of good oral hygiene. As your appliances are in during the day, they are constantly pushing against the tissue and squeezing the tissue fluid out of your gums. This deprives your gum tissue of the nutrients, oxygen, and blood flow necessary to maintain a healthy mouth, and causes the bone to deteriorate and shrink. The American Dental Association recommends that every patient leave their appliances out of their mouth for at least 8 hours every 24 hour period.
We are here to address any concerns you may have about Dentures.

Cy Twombly: Cycles and Seasons
Text by Nicholas Serota, Richard Shiff, Nicolas Cullinan, Tacita Dean.
A serious comprehensive overview of Cy Twombly's art has been much in demand for many years, and in this publication we at last have one. Accompanying a major touring retrospective to mark Twombly's eightieth year, it surveys a vast output of paintings, drawings and sculpture by an artist whose indifference to supposed distinctions between Pop and abstraction, between writing, drawing and painting, and between literature and art had, for many years, brought his work severe neglect. Twombly's art upsets the prudish purist with its hybridism; as he declares, "I'm not a pure; I'm not an abstractionist completely. There has to be a history behind the thought." For Twombly, this history entails a wealth of literary and mythic allusion and an openness to all kinds of forms. Alongside contributions from Richard Shiff, Nicolas Cullinan and Tacita Dean, this essential volume also presents a rare and revealing interview with the artist by Nicholas Serota, an illustrated chronology, an exhibition history and an extensive biography. It will be the most thorough examination of the life and work of this extraordinary artist for years to come.
Cy Twombly is a leading figure in a heterogeneous generation of American artists that also includes Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Unlike these others, he left America early in his career to live and work in Italy, where he has drawn inspiration from European literature, classical culture and the Italian landscape.
The celebrated American artist Cy Twombly died, at the age of 83, on Tuesday, July 5, in Rome—where he had lived half the year for the better part of the past four decades. Featured image, of Twombly in his studio in Gaeta, in 2008, is reproduced from Cycles and Seasons, published on the occasion of the artist's major traveling retrospective of the same year, originating at Tate.

Jason Wolf: Thurman Thomas' greatness not lost on dreary night
Thurman Thomas: A Football Life concludes with his jersey retirement (James P. McCoy/Buffalo News)
By Jason Wolf|Published Mon, Oct 29, 2018 |Updated Tue, Oct 30, 2018
James White scored from the 1-yard line, the first touchdown allowed by the Buffalo Bills all night, prompting a small but unmistakable initial wave of fans to exit the stadium.
The New England Patriots led by 12 after a failed two-point conversion.
There was 9:58 remaining in the game.
It was tough to blame the Bills' faithful for bailing. It was a weeknight, after all. And this team hadn't scored a touchdown in two weeks, since Nathan Peterman connected with Zay Jones before his meltdown in Houston. That futility continued, spoiling a stellar defensive effort on a national stage, as Jason Croom dropped a sure touchdown pass from Derek Anderson with about six minutes to play and Devin McCourty scored on an 84-yard interception return moments later.
It's a dark time for the organization and its fans, which enjoyed a brush with greatness aside from the opponent when the Bills retired Thurman Thomas' No. 34 during a ceremony at halftime of their 25-6 loss to the Patriots on Monday night at New Era Field.
The Hall of Fame running back's number became the third retired in franchise history, joining Jim Kelly's No. 12 and Bruce Smith's No. 78, which were taken out of service in 2001 and 2016, respectively.
"I received a call about two weeks ago from Bruce Smith," Thomas told the crowd from behind a podium at midfield. "He asked me, 'Squatty, do you know what it really means to have your jersey retired?' He said, 'Thurman, do you realize the importance of it?' I do now, Bruce. And now that I'm here with all of you, I realize it even more."
The Bills shut off most lights, creating a scene where fans illuminated the bowl of the darkened stadium with cellphones.
New England Patriots 25, Buffalo Bills 6
Chris Berman served as the emcee for the ceremony, which included a tribute video from fellow Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell, who wore the same number. The event was attended by a wealth of Bills alumni, including Kelly and former coach Marv Levy.
"I want to begin by giving a great big thank you to the City of Buffalo, my home, and to all of my fans," Thomas said. "Some of y'all are crazy as hell, and you know who you are, but you have supported me throughout my entire career and beyond. Good times and bad. I love each and every one of you, more than you will ever know."
He went on to thank his family, his coaches and Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula.
"I did not play one down of football for them," Thomas said, "yet they thought what I achieved as a Buffalo Bill was worthy of this honor. My family and myself will be forever grateful to the both of you for the rest of our lives, and certainly every time we look up there and see my number.
"And secondly, because I know he's up there listening, I need to thank the original owner, the man who gave me the chance to play for the team I love, and for the city that I made my home, my fellow hall of fame brother, Mr. Ralph C. Wilson Jr."
Wilson would have turned 100 years old earlier this month. His wife, Mary, was in attendance.
Thurman Thomas Number Retirement Ceremony
Thurman Thomas: Forever 34.Watch as we retire the legendary running back's number!
Posted by Buffalo Bills on Monday, October 29, 2018
Thomas' number hasn't been worn in a game – or even issued to a player for practice – since he played.
Thomas spent 12 of his 13 NFL seasons with the Bills, helping the franchise reach four consecutive Super Bowls from 1990 to 1993 after being drafted out of Oklahoma State with the 40th overall pick in the second round in 1988. He played his final season with the Miami Dolphins in 2000.
In between, Thomas rushed for a Bills franchise record 12,074 career yards, an average of 4.2 yards per carry and the 16th-most in NFL history, and 65 touchdowns.
He added 472 career catches for 4,458 receiving yards and 23 receiving touchdowns.
Thomas, 52, led the league in yards from scrimmage in four consecutive seasons, from 1989 to 1992.
Thomas was named the 1991 NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press. He also was named to five Pro Bowls and a two-time first-team All-Pro.
Thomas was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008. He is a member of the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team and the Bills Wall of Fame.
"I never thought when I retired that I would get to experience the singular thrill of coming out of the tunnel and onto this field in front of you all once again," Thomas said, "but I am experiencing that right now. From this point on, when I look up and see the number 34 retired under my name, I'll be reminded that number doesn't just belong to me, it belongs to the Bills fans everywhere. Thank you. God bless. I love you."
Jay Skurski's 10 observations: Bills defense puts up fight against Tom Brady and Co.
Buffalo trailed just 9-3 at halftime. But the Patriots already had all the points they would need.
The Bills have scored fewer than seven points in four of their six losses this season. They have scored two touchdowns in their last five games.
"It was an incredible honor for Thurman ... A lot of people in the stands & everyone watching, you want to do better and perform better," Bills receiver Zay Jones said. "You want to represent your organization to the best of your ability and we could've done better."
Anderson failed to lead a touchdown drive in his second consecutive start in place of injured rookie Josh Allen, but he received little help from his teammates.
The Bills' best offensive player, LeSean McCoy, provided a team-high 82 receiving yards on six catches. But he finished with just 13 rushing yards on 12 carries.
"In 10 years, I've had bad games," McCoy said, "but just the flow, the season, everything is just bad."
Anderson, meanwhile, left the field injured after being sacked inside the final two minutes. He was replaced by Peterman. By that point, the stands were all but empty.
