Q: Local module descriptor class for com.google.firebase.auth not found (Firebase Authentication) I'm beginner for using the Firebase. Currently, I'm trying to do the Firebase Authentication and learnt it from Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi-UAwiBigQ&index=9&list=PLGCjwl1RrtcTXrWuRTa59RyRmQ4OedWrt) but it shows me

Buying Rate of Glasses and Sunglasses Sternly Affected by COVID-19 Pandemic
The regional spread of the coronavirus has considerably impacted the sales of eyewear, such as sunglasses, contact lenses, and prescribed eyeglasses, and sunglasses. Moreover, government organizations across the world had inflicted stringent lockdown regulations in the early phase of the pandemic spread. This resulted in the shutdown of ophthalmic clinics, as well as retail stores selling glasses for a prolonged period. These factors have hampered the demand for eyewear amid the pandemic.
On the basis of product type, the market can be segregated into spectacles, sunglasses, and contact lenses. The spectacles segment was anticipated to hold the largest share in the overall market in 2020. The segment is estimated to uphold its dominating position at the end of the forecast period. It generated 79.1% in terms of share in 2020.

North America to Lead Backed by Surging Approval of Vision Care Products
North America held the maximum eyewear market shares and formed an income worth USD 30.87 billion in 2020. The growing approval of vision care products is assessed to increase the growth of the market in this region.
Europe held the second-largest market share. Aspects such as the inclination towards superior eye care products, greater consciousness of ocular conditions, and surging ability to buy exclusive sunglasses are expected to fuel the market in European nations.
On the contrary, Asia Pacific is expected to follow the lead after North America in the global market for eyewear in terms of income by 2028.
Key Players such as Johnson and Johnson Services, Inc. and Alcon to Hold Major Market Shares
The market is greatly fragmented owing to the existence of both regional as well as international players. Principal companies are branched into the contact lens market and spectacles and sunglasses market. Moreover, Johnson and Johnson Services, Inc. owns the maximum share in the global contact lens market, tailed by Alcon.
March 2021: JINS eyewear declared the unveiling of the JINS&SUN sunglasses brands, especially in the U.S., with 29 diverse designs as well as 84 styles.

Tell the Senate to Confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United State Supreme Court
President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Barrett currently serves as U.S. Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Contact and urge your senators to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a recent letter to President Trump, AFA called for the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. We strongly recommended Judge Barrett as "clearly the best of all nominees on President Trump's list of judges. Judge Barrett is a known and well-respected woman of faith among evangelical, conservative Christians.… We respectfully and unreservedly recommend that you nominate her to the United States Supreme Court." Based on analysis of research on Judge Barrett, conducted by Judicial Action Group (JAG), it is clear she has a constitutional philosophy of a limited judiciary. This means she opposes judicial activism, whereby judges act as a super-legislature, writing laws from the bench. Judge Barrett has said, "What we want in a Justice, [is] someone who applies the law, who follows the law where it goes and doesn't decide simply on the basis of partisan preference."
Citizens of the United States must help put an end to judicial activism at the Supreme Court.
Liberal opposition to Judge Barrett will be intense, as anti-religious bigots will harass senators who would consider voting for her confirmation.
Contact yoursenators now and strongly encourage them to stand firm and strong against the coming liberal tsunami of hate and demonstrate courage by confirming Judge Barrett.

The two-year agreement will see the engineering firm continue its existing three-year business relationship and safeguard 50 full-time jobs.
PD&MS technical director Derek Thoms said in December the firm would increase its headcount by around 25% over the next year to support a series of recent contract wins.
He revealed the announcement of new deals would mean up to 100 new jobs.
The firm has enjoyed two years in decommissioning as well as engineering, procurement and construction contracts.
PD&MS, which employs around 400 people in Aberdeen and internationally, said it also expects strong growth opportunities in the New Year.
Commenting on the Shell deal, Liam O'Neil, PD&MS' director of projects said: "It's fantastic that Shell has awarded us this extension, and we now have an opportunity to raise the bar even further in our EPCC space.
PD&MS has operations across the UK, Dutch and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea, as well as work for BP in the Caspian Sea, served by an office in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In October, PD&MS secured a contract renewal to support Chrysaor's Lomond, Everest and Armada platforms over two-years.
That followed a hat-trick of new deals worth £10m at the start of the year, including a multimillion-pound deal with Spirit Energy to decommission the topsides of two unmanned platforms on the Morecambe Bay gas field in the East Irish Sea.

The reinstatement of a Grade II listed timber-framed and thatched house following a serious fire. Barker Associates provided early stage advice on building safety and disaster recovery followed by building conservation advice to specify the reinstatement works. Barker Associates provided full project management throughout, liaising with the property owner, insurance company, loss adjuster and contractor to ensure a successful project. Particular care was required in working close to neighbouring buildings and an added complication was that the property was in the process of being sold at the time of the fire. A careful balance also had to be struck between respecting the historic building whilst implementing current building regulations and standards.


Raymond Domenech will remain as manager of France despite a disappointing showing at Euro 2008.
France finished bottom of their group, collecting just one point and scoring a solitary goal in the competition.
The nature of their elimination had prompted speculation that Domenech would be relieved of his duties, but the France Football Federation (FFF) has given its backing to the coach.
FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalettes said he was keen not to overreact despite the public condemnation of Domenech.
"Domenech's record is not that bad as coach," he said. "It is not catastrophic.
"He qualified us two straight times for a major competition.


Students Jessica Eisner and Camille Haisell - Putting History on the Map. The projects were launched at the Digital Scholarship Commons in the McPherson Library on April 9, 2018 (photo courtesy of Chorong Kim).
"After graduating this past April, I moved back to my hometown in Northern BC and got hired by the City to research heritage policy and imagine ways that our region's rich history could be represented through means other than just preserving old buildings. The research skills instilled in me through my degree have been an incredible asset, and the historical mapping skills I picked up in my courses have given me the ability to share the stories in novel and interactive ways on the Internet. It's pretty exciting being able to use something I learned in school by directly applying it to my work."
"Over the course of both my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have considered myself fortunate to be a part of UVic's Department of History. The celebrated spirit of collegiality among the faculty resonates throughout the entire department, between staff and students. I have enjoyed positive working and personal relationships with many professors, staff members, and fellow students."
"The UVic History department creates a community for learning, where students really know their professors and their professors know them."


Hey, hey, hey! Today, as with many August days here in San Antonio, it's nice and sweltering. Sure, it may get down to 90, but you'd never know it with the humidity. Of course, the heat keeps us indoors in an attempt to avoid it a lot of the time, but it's still important to get out and go somewhere. I'm a serious believer in the importance of exposure to nature for so many reasons, so we always try to go out and explore outside a couple of times a week.
$$$–is it cheap, or even better, free?
Will my small children be happy there?
We moved back in February, so I have certainly not scoped out the hottest mom spots in San Antonio by any means, but here's our favorite spots to kill some time outside with the kid monsters!
Okay, so not in the city, I know. But hear me out! This beautiful state park is easy to get to, just a drive up Blanco Road to 46. In addition it's extremely family friendly: they have camping, hiking, a playground (currently closed, boo), a children's discovery center, a ton of picnic tables, and of course, swimming. There's deeper water for parents and older kids, but for smaller children there's also a wonderful section of shallow water. My water-timid 3 year old gets to play and splash around without being worried here. We like to take a big mat and lounge in the shade. Hands down my favorite spot to cool off.
$$$–We have a state parks pass so it's worth it for us to go. If you don't, you will have to pay a day use fee.
Happy kids? Very. Always have a hard time leaving.
Preparation–sunscreen (please use a non-toxic kind!), swimsuits, shade, water, snacks, water shoes (don't underestimate how painful river rocks can be on bare feet), and whatever water safety devices you feel appropriate.
If you've never been to Hardberger Park with your kids it's definitely worth a trip. This place is huge and even has two entrances, one on Blanco Rd and one on Military. There are dog parks and playgrounds on each side near the parking lots. In addition, the hiking trails just can't be beat. There's a large picnic area on each side, benches on some of the trails, and even a large overlook. We go hiking here a couple of times a week and always have a great time. Sometimes we do nature scavenger hunts here while hiking to engage the kids.
Happy kids? Usually. Sometimes a kid gets mad that she has to walk or ride in the stroller instead of being carried.
We purchased zoo memberships as soon as we moved. It was a no brainer for us, we went to the LA Zoo all the time in California, and it wasn't even particularly close! The girls absolutely love it. And with all the fun enclosures (sorry, animals) and features I can't blame them. Plus, summer animatronic dinosaurs! You can take a (very short) ride on the carousel, see the pigs and goats at the petting zoo or ride the train. You could spend hours in the splashpad area. There's all sorts of outdoor things over in the kid's area, including adorable mini benches. There's even a small discovery center for the kiddos. If that's not enough (and let's be real, you might be beat, but the munchkins have some magical reserve of energy just for moments like this) Brackenridge park is right outside!
$$$–just buy a membership. If you go twice it's worth it.
Happiness factor? Kids always enjoy it. Even Matt and I are usually glad we went. Exhausted, but glad.
I really enjoy this place. There are more difficult hiking trails if that's what you're looking for, easy paved trails if you need something simpler. There are nice, wooded trails, too. I like taking the double stroller here. There's a nice little playground and a large climbing wall for older kids.
Fun level–decent. My kids are always happy if they get to play on a playground.
Now you should have a very good idea of where I live! This is our basic time-killing place. It's got a large pavillion for events, bathrooms, a sandbox, and a very large, nice playground. Karissa is obsessed with the sandbox, but Madilyn always has to be coaxed into playing in the sand. There's lots of lovely cedar elms and picnic tables scattered throughout the grove behind the play equipment. We always go for a little walk through the trails, too.
Happy? Oh, so very happy.
Preparation–a diligent parent might bring hydration? I usually don't…eek. It's okay, though, because water fountains.
I've only been here once, but the playground was awesome. It was definitely better for older kids, but the play equipment was shaded and I was impressed. There's a lake with a nice, easy trail to walk, exercise equipment, and what I'm pretty sure was a baseball diamond. This one is on the west side but was a really fun adventure.


Hello Lovelies, today was a quite lazy sunday. My boyfried and I planned to go for a little walk, but unfortunately it rain all day... So I spent the whole day in bed, drank coffee and read in the new InStyle.
And how lovely are my new cozy slippers?! My mum gave them to me. With the pompoms on the top and and the softness inside of them, I'm obsessed. I'm thinking about wearing them at night, too haha. So adorable!

(A) Dual reporter assay. Each FLO11 allele turns ON and OFF slowly with identical rates λ and γ because the two reporters are equivalent. (B) Mixed expression states. A dual reporter strain grown in rich media (no glucose) supplemented with 1% ethanol and 2% glycerol (false color overlay CFP = red, YFP = Green). All four possible expression states are seen.

(A) (Left) Time evolution of the population distribution of YFP expression from a dual-reporter strain growing in YP 1% ethanol, 2% glycerol within a microfluidic chamber over 20 hours. Colorbar indicates fraction of cells (n = 230 over time course). This strain had been growing in identical conditions in liquid culture prior to transfer to the microfluidic chamber. The distribution changes early on because of the small initial sample size (n = 10). (Right) Marginal transition rates between ON and OFF states. Blue/pink dots indicate fraction of cells ON/OFF at birth and observed to switch OFF/ON. Corresponding curves are fits of the model for exponentially distributed switching times from ON to OFF and OFF to ON, with adjusted rates shown next to the plot. Error bars correspond to 3 s.d. from the mean calculated by a bootstrap analysis. Similar results are obtained when focusing on CFP expression (see Figure S5 and Figure S6). (B) Three-state model of FLO11 activation showing separation of timescales between epigenetic (silencing) and conventional regulation. When slow transitions associated with silencing are present, the fast transitions of transcriptional bursting can be lumped into a single rate μ.

The stochastic kinetic model's prediction of the fraction of cells in the mixed expression state corresponds to independent switching (given by 2p(1−p), corresponding to the gray line) for a range of conditions. Error bars (x-axis) are from 95% confidence intervals from MLE fit of switching rate to estimate true fraction of ON cells; error bars (y-axis) are due to errors in the estimation of threshold fluorescence value for autofluorescence (see Text S1).

(A) The qualitative shape of the Beta distribution for various values of OFF→ON (λ/δ) and ON→OFF (γ/δ) transition rates (normalized with respect to the growth rate δ). When both rates are slower than growth (lower left quadrant) they characterize slow epigenetic transitions between the silenced and competent states. The expression distribution is bimodal, representing stable ON and OFF populations. These rates can be inferred by measuring the expression distribution by fluorescence microscopy and fitting to the Beta distribution. For unimodal ON distributions, epigenetic silencing no longer occurs. If only fast intrinsic fluctuations between the competent and active promoter state were present, the same two-state model would apply, but now predict the fast transition rates and unimodal distributions (upper half of plot). However, because extrinsic fluctuations also matter, direct fitting of measured unimodal distributions does not yield the fast transition rates (see main text and Text S1 for details). (B) Representative fluorescence histograms of the three activator classes. (Top) Tec1p titrated in wildtype background in SD ura-; Flo8p titrated in flo8Δ background in SD ura- +1% ethanol; Msn1p titrated in wildtype background in SD ura-. (Bottom) rtTA titrated in strain with tetO at −350 (nucleosome occluded site), at −1160 (site occludes Sfl1p binding site), and at −1470 (site directly upstream of the −1200 nucleosome free region). Histograms are derived from fluorescence microscopy (cell number >300). The fluorescence distribution of an OFF strain (Y92) used to measure autofluorescence is shown at the top of each plot. (C) Kinetic roles of regulators. Increasing levels of various activators of FLO11 decrease γ, stabilizing the active state without significantly changing λ. Class I activators cannot decrease γ significantly (blue). Class II activators can shift the transition rates into the lower left quadrant which corresponds to partially silenced, bimodal expression (pink). Flo8p has a less stable silenced state compared to the class II activators. It appears that at a critical value of γ the regulators abolish silencing, and the response enters the upper left quadrant. (D) Synthetic activator titration. Titrations of synthetic activators mimic the three classes of activators, depending on the location of the binding site. All titrations (B, C, and D) were in SD ura- except Sfl1p and Flo8p where 1% ethanol was added.

Signal (y-axis) represents anti-acetylated histone/anti-histone ratio, or an effective average acetylation per histone in the region. Deletion of both sfl1 and hda1 result in hyperacetylation of the FLO11 promoter which is associated with the abrogation of silencing. Therefore SFL1-dependent silencing at FLO11 requires HDA1.

(F) Mean levels of expression during Sfl1p and Tec1p titrations in wildtype (blue curve) and hda1Δ (pink curve) backgrounds. Elimination of silencing because of lack of Hda1p lowers the threshold level at which activators function. Furthermore, the population response is graded (C and E, see Figure S8 for other activator titrations). Error bars represent 3 s.d. around mean calculated from bootstrap analysis. Inset: The square of intrinsic noise of Sfl1p (left) and Tec1p (right) titrated in hda1Δ is proportional to the reciprocal of protein abundance (here shown as the mean fluorescence level). This indicates that without silencing, regulators modulate expression by controlling burst frequency (λ').

Silencing at the promoter is established by binding of Sfl1p and recruitment of Hda1p. Relative activities of Flo8p and Sfl1p determine the chromatin state of the promoter. The underlying promoter state of an OFF population can be revealed by addition of Class I and II activators (bottom), as Class I activators cannot effectively activate transcription at a silenced promoter, whereas Class II activators can activate expression by sufficiently stabilizing the competent state. At very high levels, Class II activators disrupt silencing; at this point, all cells are also expressing highly. In contrast, an intermediate level of Flo8p activity can "open" the promoter converting the silenced state to a stable competent state, while expression remains low. This opening might be related to chromatin modifications. The combination of Flo8p activation and Class I activators allows the decoupling of chromatin state and expression level, whereas activation by Class II activators alone would not.

Some Things are Best Left to the Powder Coating Professionals. In Short….Don't Try This At Home!
The Age of the Internet has allowed countless people to share their ideas globally. People halfway around the world could learn from, utilize, or improve upon what they saw moments earlier. Among the most profound are simple, everyday tricks, shortcuts, or creative alternatives that allow someone to increase productivity and efficiency.
We know them as life hacks.
One such life hack allows for powder coating metal parts from the comfort of home. Truthfully, powder coating should never be conducted inside the home. Its popularity arose around the premise of repurposing an old oven for baking the powder coat onto objects, thus allowing the DIY-er to avoid paying professionals. While acquiring an old oven is easy, it may not be large enough to accommodate larger parts. Additionally, the quality of the powder coat gun and, more importantly, powder quality itself, varies from vendor to vendor. All of which reinforce why some things are best left to the professionals.
For over 20 years, Electro Tech Powder Coating has proudly and skillfully met the needs of countless individuals and businesses throughout the San Diego County area.
We have always believed in getting the job done right the first time and on time. We've proven to be leaders in offering custom powder coating services, all the while treating clients like family. Contact us today at (760) 746-0292 to receive a free estimate and discover why discerning clients (including a not-insignificant number of proud DIY-ers) trust Electro Tech for all their powder coating needs.


I have read several sites/articles/books in the past which state that fingers that have an extra crease tend to be on the longer side/measure long. In another discussion on the forum about extra creases on the fingers, it was the non-dominate hand which had the (majority) extra creases found. I found this surprising because I thought that the non-dominate hand was usually slightly smaller than the dominate hand, so I would have expected the "longer fingers" to be on the dominate hand (which I guess they might be or the palm could be longer).
Patti explained so well about the development of the bones in the fingers and how "When the digits form, the distal interphalangeal joint forms before the middle interphalangeal joint forms. For a short time there is a long soft pre-bone tissue or cartilage between the metacarpophalangeal and the distal interphalangeal joint.
This would not indicate that a finger finger found with extra creases is not necessarily longer. Anyone have observations on this?
Re: Do extra creases on the finger(s) indicate long fingers?
Some pages are missing from public view but if you study this chart you can see the extra creases appear about the same time as the middle phalange appears. This would be flesh or tissue. Bone development is another study and later than the outer flesh.
Up until near this century it was thought that the fingers could not flex until after the formation of the creases, around 16 weeks (shown above), which meant flexion was not the cause of the creases. More recent research shows the fingers can flex much earlier than previously thought at 10 to 12 weeks. This means that flexion most likely is playing a big role in the development of the flexion creases.
End of page 471 and beginning of 472 gives a list of earliest fetal movements. Here they say the earliest movement is the tilting of the head at 7.5 weeks. Twitching movement before 10 weeks followed by actual limb movement after 10 weeks. Hand to face movement is at 12 to 13 weeks.
I might need to add a few more books to my collection.

Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin. (Photo: Lebanese Forces website)
BEIRUT: Russia's ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Zasypkin, reiterated his country's historical support Wednesday for Greek Orthodox's communities in the Middle East.
Zasypkin made the comments following his visit to the Orthodox Gathering's headquarters in the Ashrafieh neighborhood of Beirut. "We have a special relationship with Greek Orthodox [communities] in the Middle East.
We adopt the necessary stances needed to secure their rights and prevent their displacement in order to preserve their presence, along with other Christian sects, in the region," he said.
"We opt for securing the rights of all citizens of Syria. We are committed to the statement released during the Geneva Conference and call on all parties to act likewise," he said while commenting on the Syrian crisis.
"[We are] in constant contact with all the Syrian parties to secure their adherence to this conference because it believes that it [the conference recommendations] offers a fair course for resolving the Syrian crisis based on international law."

Dil Raju is currently remaking the film in Hindi with Shahid Kapoor as the hero. Director Gautam Thinnanure, who directed the Telugu film 'Jersey', is making the film in Hindi. Recently the film has just finished shooting. Hero Shahid Kapoor made emotional tweets on the occasion of the completion of the film shooting. He said that he was happy to complete the shooting of 'Jersey' in 47 days. It was the first time in his career to make such a great film and complete the shoot so quickly. Shahid thanked all the artists and technicians who worked with dedication for this film in the corona conditions. Currently his tweets are going viral.


It's crazy how kids think they can do anything and even attempt things they are physically incapable of doing yet. I couldn't help but smile every time Natalia would find a pumpkin, most of the time a lot bigger than she was an attempt to carry it. The best part was watching… Yes, but also … More Pumpkin Patch!!

The year has started good for NASA, since New Horizons got closer to the most distant object that people have tried to visit, and that is a space rock that's called Ultima Thule. The people from NASA soon found out that Ultima Thule is not one object, but actually two, which made this entire thing the first contact binary that has ever been studied in detail.
NASA is continuously gathering more and more data, and the New Horizon team has revealed to the public a detailed glimpse of Ultima Thule, and it's amazing.
The image was captured during the New Year's Day by the New Horizon aircraft, by its Multicolor Visible Imaging Camera, to be exact, and it gave us a more detailed look at the surface of the space rock. We have never seen this before. We can see the ridges and the craters, and the contact point between those two objects.
With the help of this image, we see the differences in the geologic character of the two lobes of it. They're planning to better the resolution of the photos in order to see the mysteries of Ultima Thule.
Why did it take so long to get these clear images?
Due to the distance and, of course, the spacecraft. New Horizons came with a lot of information while it went passed Ultima Thule, and it simply cannot send all the data at once. The aircraft spends some months to deliver some of the data, until all of its observations are received on the Earth.
The spacecraft is currently at a distance of over four billion miles from Earth, so it takes about 7 hours for the radio signal to get from New Horizons to our planet. It takes much more than that to collect all the data.

Hi Hody! Congrats of your success and thanks for persevering through with your macaron making despite failures! Like what Wendy mentioned, your macarons are very pretty. :) I especially loved the contrast of pink against the ashy grey.
As with the sweetness issue you mentioned in this blog and your earlier one, I was thinking if you would want to try using a slightly sour filling to balance out the sweetness of the shell. Lemon, lime or passionfruit would work very well.
OH yeah, one more thing, you might wish to change the word macaron to a single "o". Macaroons usually mean something else altogether.
Hody, this sesame macarons are very pretty and I really like the color combination. I am sure they taste good. How I wish I get to taste it someday. Hint! Hint! LOL! Have a beautiful Sunday my dear.

Encompass Health May Be Nearing Home Health, Hospice Spinoff – Home Health Care News
Encompass Health Corporation (NYSE: EHC) may be nearing a spinoff — not a sale — of its home health and hospice segment. That avenue looks increasingly likely in light of the company's recent leadership announcements, industry insiders believe.
Last week, Barb Jacobsmeyer was named the new CEO of Encompass Health's home health and hospice segment, which was formerly run by April Anthony. Previously, Jacobsmeyer was the president of Encompass Health's in-patient hospitals segment.
The Birmingham, Alabama-based company then announced this week that the current head of investor relations, Crissy Carlisle, will be the home health and hospice segment's new CFO.
"Crissy's financial expertise and her familiarity with our business operations and strategy will be invaluable as we continue to deliver on our mission to provide high-quality, cost-effective home health care and hospice services to our patients," Jacobsmeyer said in a statement.
In December, Encompass Health announced that it would be exploring "strategic alternatives" for its home health and hospice segment. Considerations included a full or partial separation through an IPO, spinoff, merger, sale or other transaction.
In April, reports surfaced that Encompass Health representatives had been spotted in Rhode Island — the home of CVS Health (NYSE: CVS). That led some to think CVS Health was positioning itself for a big home health splash, similar to what Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) did with Kindred at Home.
But home health and hospice multiples are at all-time highs, which could mean Encompass Health was unable to find a buyer willing to meet its asking price.
"The appointment of company insiders to C-suite positions suggests that the business is unlikely to be sold and that a public spin-off is the most likely outcome of the company's strategic review of its home health segment," Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut wrote in a note shared with Home Health Care News. "If the [home health and hospice segment] were to be sold, we believe the board wouldn't have felt the need to install new leadership in the business prior to its sale."
Overall, Encompass Health has a national footprint that includes 140 hospitals, 250 home health locations and 94 hospice locations in 42 states and Puerto Rico.
"The appointment of a CFO with solid investor relations experience and Street relationships also points to a recognition of the need to install a management team with direct experience dealing with investors and analysts, as a publicly-traded entity," the note continued.
While a sale may have yielded higher and immediate liquidity, a spinoff would be a tax-free option that could still unlock value for investors, Tanquilut added.
It's also worth noting that Jacobsmeyer and Carlisle — while undoubtedly experienced leaders — do not have home health or hospice experience.
That could mean — if a public spinoff materializes — the new entity trading at a discount compared to the peer group at first.
Encompass Health said it expects to provide an update on the status of its strategic review in connection with its second quarter earnings release in late July.
"There can be no assurance the review will result in a spin-off, initial public offering, merger or other action," the company stated in this week's announcement about Carlisle's new position.

"Merton's not white anymore", moans former liberal in the Daily Mail
by Matthew Smith · 26th March, 2013
A mega mosque in a suburb that was 90 per cent white 30 years ago and the polite apartheid dividing Britain | Mail Online
Barely a month ago I responded to an article in the Daily Telegraph, by a contributor to the Salisbury Review, moaning that Acton (in west London) was full of foreigners, or at least people who look like foreigners, who wear hijab or cover their faces and don't talk to her in the street. This month it's the turn of Merton, the borough that starts just down the road from me, to get the treatment. David Goodhart, former editor of Progress magazine and director of the think-tank Demos, complains that it has gone from 90% white to over 50% minority today, and that a particular neighbourhood is "dominated" by what the headline calls a "mega mosque" that attracts "thousands of men in Pashtun dress" who come to listen to a man they regard as "the holiest man on the planet". He alleges that Merton is symptomatic of the "polite apartheid" which has taken hold, "an accommodation rather than an integration", in which the "white population has more or less reluctantly shuffled along the bench and allowed others to sit down".
This is another piece in which I get the impression that either the author does not really know the area he is talking about or is relying on his readers' ignorance. Merton is a place most people would not know they are in, but would know a few places in it — most notably, Wimbledon. The mosque he is referring to is not in the district actually called Merton; it is just south of the town centre of Morden. Merton is the area around Merton High Street, which is south-east of Wimbledon. Merton is a very diverse borough, which includes the upmarket area of Wimbledon Village and the nowadays wealthier areas around Wimbledon itself, but also the middle-ranking suburbs like Raynes Park and Morden, some post-war council estate housing to the south of Morden, and the lower middle-class suburbs like Mitcham, as well as the back end of Norbury. Merton borough is pure suburban sprawl; the name seems to have been chosen so that none of the three towns that were sucked into it when the urban districts of north Surrey were consolidated into London boroughs in the 1960s could claim to be top dog. Unlike the other outer boroughs like Croydon, Sutton and Kingston, it has no centre. It is split between four postcode areas, so no employment agency can offer jobs across the whole borough (as their branches tend to divide up by postcode area: SW in the north and north-east, KT in the west and CR/SM to the south).
It is quite ironic that he chooses the Ahmadiyyah mosque in Morden to illustrate how "Merton" represents the decline of white Britishness. The sect appears to have chosen this area because it is well away from any other centre of Muslim settlement, which allows them to issue propaganda to local residents and schools, promoting themselves as the Muslims who support tolerance and harmony, with everything from leaflets to adverts on buses, unlike those extremists, radicals etc up the road. The sect are fond of scoring points off the Muslim community in general, which does not regard them as Muslims at all because of an important difference in belief (namely that their first leader was a prophet, something Muslims universally regard as impossible), but the group is not nearly as touchy-feely as their propaganda might suggest. It is in fact cult-like and obedient to its leader; it demands a financial commitment considerably greater than mainstream Islam, and its attitudes to women (and, in the experience of one former friend of mine, disabled people) are as reactionary as anything you will find in mainstream Islam, without the mercy of differences of opinion. As for the mosque, it's big, but it no doubt contains a lot of facilities for the community besides a large prayer hall (as with a lot of Islamic centres, such as East London Mosque), and having driven up and down the road where it's situated many times, it does not dominate the skyline in the way the picture accompanying Goodhart's article suggest. Those pictures have low depth of field, accentuating the background.
The article also does not address the behaviour of the native community which allowed this benign separateness to emerge. It was not that "the Left" embraced immigration and did not encourage integration earlier, but simply because suburban white Britons do not really talk to each other unless they know them. It is possible to live in any suburban English neighbourhood (it is different in small villages) and not know your neighbours, and certainly not to know people more than a door or two down on your street. The reason Merton was able to become "minority majority" was that white owner-occupiers did not mind selling to non-whites as long as the money was right — and, of course, they could not have openly refused to sell. Merton — and certainly south Morden — is an area a lot of people would have wanted to get away from; it is not close enough to the centre of town to be 'hip', its nearest town is not big enough to sustain more than a few food shops, and it isn't close to the country either. It's quiet, the crime is low, there's a park, an adult education college, there's regular buses (and a long, dark, rattly tube line from Morden to central London), but it's boring and not fashionable. It is, perhaps, the ideal place for a religious sect that's looking for a refuge.
The accusation of "polite apartheid" is also quite ridiculous, albeit a fairly common trope of anti-multiculturalists since 9/11 (references to "segregation" are also popular, as with this speech (PDF) by Trevor Phillips, then chair of the Commission for Racial Equality, in September 2005). Both of these terms refer to legally enforced separateness of races, not to people living in the same neighbourhoods but having little to do with each other. That is a choice they make, and it is one that the native population are as responsible for as the "immigrants". He also quotes a local white hairdresser who is unhappy that a Muslim "hair cutter" has opened up a salon a couple of doors down — well, that's the free market for you. And while "many minority Mertonites are doing well in their enclaves", with the Indians and Chinese doing best in school with Koreans and Tamils not far behind, working-class whites are doing worst, as is the case in many parts of the country. Well, this is also something that cannot be attributed to the inflow of foreigners into suburbs like Morden (and the whites that are doing badly in Merton are most likely those in the council estates bordering Rose Hill, where you will not find many Ahmadis).
Towards the end, he tells us we need "a narrative to inspire and guide us, a new British Dream that encompasses both old and new citizens into this country of ours with its remarkable past", and claims that "some parts of the British elite are uncomfortable with the idea of 'nation'", including schoolboy Lefties that grew into student Marxists like himself, who were uncomfortable with the idea of "boundaries and borders". As ever for the Daily Mail, it's only the "liberal elite", the intelligentsia, that are criticised; the elite of the British wealthy, who promote a free market ideology that allows them to concentrate wealth in their hands while destroying industries that sustain other parts of what, supposedly, is their own nation, remain above criticism. The destruction of the industries have also torn apart the communities they once supported, most notably in the north but also among the likes of the bottlers of Morden, and destroyed the trade unions that fostered ideas of disclipline, loyalty to your fellow workers, and sacrifice. The elimination of industry, not the influx of Asian or Chinese immigrants, led to the loss of hope that there would be a job (as you cannot always expect workers to become entrepreneurs overnight) and a lack of a sense that there is a point in bothering at school.
The real division in British society is between the super-rich and everyone else. White Britons in some suburbs may not speak much to their Polish or Ahmadi Pakistani neighbours, but they are not at war with each other either, nor are they competing to see what benefits and what aspects of livelihood they can strip from each other. By writing for the Daily Mail and moaning about how some nondescript suburb isn't white anymore, Goodhart is playing into the hands of the rich Right, who seek to sow divisions and make people suspect each other: these people live among us but don't want to integrate, they're taking over our cities neighbourhood by neighbourhood, and they're doing better than us. The talk about a "British dream" where people believe common myths about Britain's past (always easier for whites) and believe that anyone can become a baron or baroness (British Pakistanis already know this) is hollow; he admits that most minority Britons already "join the 'we'" and speak English as natives, so what is the problem? The problem that provincial readers will take away from this article is that the cities are not British (read white) anymore, that they are foreign, that they are full of clueless "Hampstead liberals" and ex-working-class whites with no opportunities, and that there are too many foreigners. Whatever his cant about benign patriotism and new narratives, the piece is little more than the usual divisive Daily Mail suspicion-mongering.
