Cross browser testing means testing the application on multiple browser to ensure that our software working as expected on each browser. Because we can't say that if software is worked fine on one browser it may or may not work fine on other browsers. There may be the issues like particular button is getting disabled, particular image is broken, content may get misaligned, extra buttons are visible etc. these are the few issues because of these we need to perform the cross browser testing and ensure the software application is working fine across the browser.
Some of you might get this question why do we need to test the software on multiple browser, it's just a browser if our software worked as expected on one browser then it will surely work on other also? I also know the reason why you may got the question. We all know how browsers works. If not let's look in short.
All its works on client/ server model. Server is a place where information stored. Client is nothing but a browsers like internet explorer, Firefox, chrome and many more this are the web clients which we need to installed on our PC. The browser means client send the request for the particular information to the server, this requested information is nothing but the users query. Then server send the requested information back to the browser and browser simply displays it for the user.
What type of issues may come when we browse our web application in different browsers?
Buttons : some button may get disabled.
Images : some images may get broken or hidden.
Layout : layout may get messed, even color can be different in different browsers.
Pop Up window : in some application there is popup windows / pop up error msg. in some browser those pop up will not come.
Content : content get may misaligned.
Validation support : text field validation may not work on any particular browser.
Functionality : functionality related issues can also be come.
These are the few issues which can found out in cross browser testing.
How to perform cross browser testing? For that find the check list given below which will help you to do better cross browser testing.
Check all the images on all the browsers.
Check the layout on the browsers.
Check page styles in all the browsers.
Check Pop ups in all the browsers.
Check all the buttons in all the browsers.
Check Date formats in all pages on all browsers.
Check font styles in all the browsers.
Check the header and footer sections in all the browsers.
Check all the pop up messages on all the browsers.
Check entered information on the pages are properly getting saved in Database.
This check list can be help for you. And all the browsers does not mean to test on each and every browser available on the internet. Testing on famous or popular browser it enough. And it is also depends on the clients requirements. And one more important thing is browser versions. Chrome, Firefox etc. are provides frequent browser updates. We may encounter with an issue inA newer or older version of browser. Make sure to test the web application on latest and as well as on some older version of browser.
There are many cross browser testing tools available on the internet. Some of them are paid and some of them are free. Few of them are listed below.
Microsoft Super Preview : this is free tool. And helpful for layout testing.
IE Testers : this is free. You can test software on different IE versions.
IE NetRender : this is free and provides similar feature like IE testers.
BrowserShots : free and one of the best tool which can help you to test on different browsers as well as on different OS.
BroserLing : this one is paid. Helpful to test the web application on different browsers.
BrowserCam : this one is paid. Helpful to test application on different browser as well as on different OS.
Browsera : this one is paid. And helpful to test the application and application elements on different browsers.
These are the few cross browser testing tools, there are many more tools available on the internet.

When you think of Vincent Van Gogh, you think of yellow - a vibrant color. What is your favorite color and which one of the famous artists used that color to express their creativity?
One of the most universally recognized artists is Vincent van Gogh, of the French Post-Impressionist movement, who used yellow, blue, white, and crimson paints.
Van Gogh discovered cobalt blue when he was living and working in Antwerp, Belgium painting the peasants of the region (remember "Potato Eaters"). In 1886 he moved to Paris and lived with his brother Theo because financially he couldn't survive as an artist.
Note: paints were newly available in squeeze tubes as ready made oils at the end of the 19th century.
Van Gogh purchased his art supplies from Julian Tanguy (aka Père Tanguy) when he lived in Paris.
Tanguy sold cobalt blue paint for a price four times that of Prussian blue, so Vincent would instead use French ultramarine - a color that occurs in nature – a component of lapis lazuli.
Yellow is the color of the sun and energy and Van Gogh used it brilliantly.
Cadmium yellow was his shade of choice. He also used ochre, gold, and chrome yellow (a color he used as an opaque under paint) in his "Sunflower" series.
Vincent would mix cadmium yellow with cobalt blue to create a color similar to cerulean blue.
The use of white lead can be traced back in antiquity as one of the oldest man-made pigments.
To Dutch painters of the 17th century such as Johannes Vermeer, using white lead was essential in mixing (even possibly hand grinding) it with other colors to create luminosity. Another quality of white lead is that it doesn't yellow and will dry slowly - however poisonous it might be.
Vermeer would also use ultramarine and cobalt blue for his magnificent portraits such as "Girl with a Pearl Earring."
Claude Monet was a French Impressionist of the late 19th century who used a color palette similar to Van Gogh: cadmium yellow, cobalt blue, and white lead. He also used vermilion, and chrome green.
Unfortunately, in 1908 Monet developed cataracts in both eyes. This changed forever how he saw colors – blue and purple become red and yellow, white becomes yellow, and red become orange.
This shift in color becomes apparent in his paintings dated 1908 and later.
Henri Rousseau, the painter of fantasy and tropical scenes, his color palette was that of nature – green – in all its splendor. When I last visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York, I saw "The Dream" and I was first impressed by its size and then the beauty of the vivid colors.
If you love the color blue, then like me, Vermeer is one of your favorite artists. If you love yellow, the color of happiness (think smiley face), then perhaps you gain strength from Van Gogh's work.
If you love nature and the color green, then Rousseau is your favorite.
Quoting the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, he said, "Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams."
What color and artist inspires you?
Sometimes the colors Monet used were influenced by his affliction with cataracts.
If "Dusk,Venice" looks familiar, perhaps you remember it as the stolen painting from "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Pierce Brosnan.

Q: Action dispatched using the useDispatch but the reducer won't update the state until I refresh the page I'm trying to implement Sign Out feature for my web app. The Sign In feature works perfectly but facing issue in sign Out.
I can login and receive the uid from firebase and get the "Login Success" in the console as soon as I press Login button, but, when I press the Logout button I don't receive the "Signout success" in the console until I refresh the Page.
How can this refresh thing be solved?
I have my action creator signOut in place as seen below:
export const signOut = () => {
    return (dispatch, getState, {fetFirebse}) => {
        const firebase = getFirebase();

        firebase.auth().signOut().then(() => {
            dispatch({ type: 'SIGNOUT_SUCCESS'})
        });
    }
}

This is the component where I dispatch the signOut action using the useDispatch hook:
const SignedInLinks = (props) => {

    const dispatch = useDispatch();

    dispatch(signOut());

    return (

<NavLink to='/create'>New Project</NavLink>

Log Out

<NavLink to='/' className='btn btn-floating pink lighten-1'>NB</NavLink>

     );
}
export default SignedInLinks;

And finally here is the reducer:
const initState = {
    authError: null,
}

const authReducer = (state = initState, action) => {
    switch(action.type){
        case 'LOGIN_ERROR':
            console.log('Login Failed');
            return {
                ...state,
                authError: 'Login Failed',
            }
        case 'LOGIN_SUCCESSFUL':
            console.log('Login Success');
            return {
                ...state,
                authError: 'Login Success',
            }
        case 'SIGNOUT_SUCCESS':
            console.log('Signout success');
            return state;
        default:
            return state;
    }
}

PS: The signout feature works when I implement it without hooks and use mapDispatchToProps and connect, but want to know how this refresh needed to update the state can be solved using hooks.

Sussex area
Creative non-fiction, Fiction
Gerard Collins
I am a Newfoundland-born writer now living in southern New Brunswick. I've lived in various places in Canada, from coast to coast, but now spend my time writing in a cottage near Sussex. I do some of my writing in a tent by the lakeshore, and play guitar and write songs, as well. I've recently begun skiing, skating and snowshoeing in winter, while spending the summers writing and experiencing the world.
I have a Ph.D. in American literature and have been teaching university English for 17 years. Before that, I taught high school English, as well as worked briefly as a newspaper journalist and musician. I've recently mentored at the prestigious Piper's Frith writers retreat, offered workshops across Atlantic Canada, including the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick WordSpring weekend and the Write Stuff all-day creative writing seminars for high school students of the greater Saint John area. When not serving on awards and grant committees, I'm working on both a new novel and a short story collection.
My first novel, Finton Moon, won the Percy Janes First Novel Award, and was nominated for the 2014 Dublin IMPAC International Literary Award, the 2013 Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, and the 2014 NL Heritage and History Award. Finton Moon is the coming-of-age story of a young boy who has the magical ability to heal with his hands, a talent which sets him apart from his family and friends.
My short story collection, Moonlight Sketches, won the 2012 NL Book Award. This book features sixteen interconnected tales from the perspectives of various characters in the fictional small town of Darwin, NL. There are recurring characters, sometimes making the collection feel like a novel.
Fierce Ink Press asked me to write a story about my last year of high school, and the result was "The Long Last Year," a creative non-fiction piece that was published in 2013 as an e-book and again in 2014 as part of a print collection of several other Fierce Shorts.
I have also published both fiction and non-fiction in books, literary journals, and anthologies, while my work also has been featured multiple times on CBC Radio and in newspapers. Finton Moon has been purchased by learning resources centres in schools across Newfoundland, and my fiction is sometimes taught in university courses.

Q: Accessing a sub attribute in a XML file using XElement In C#, I am trying to change an option of a feature in an XML file which presents a Print Ticket and loaded as an XElement by the following code:
XElement ticketRootXElement = null;
using (Stream ticketReadStream = displayedPrintTicket.GetReadStream())
{
   ticketRootXElement = XElement.Load(ticketReadStream);
}

The partial XML is something like following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<psf:Feature xmlns:psf="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2003/08/printing/printschemaframework" name="psk:PageMediaSize">
    <psf:Option name="psk:ISOA4">
        <psf:ScoredProperty name="psk:MediaSizeWidth">
            <psf:Value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:integer">210000</psf:Value>
        </psf:ScoredProperty>
        <psf:ScoredProperty name="psk:MediaSizeHeight">
            <psf:Value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:integer">297000</psf:Value>
        </psf:ScoredProperty>
    </psf:Option>
</psf:Feature>

How can I access the "Option" of a specific "Feature" and change it to something like <psf:Option name="psk:ISOA3">?
I tried the following code, but it fails.
foreach (XAttribute xAttr in ticketRootXElement.Descendants(xns_psf + "Feature").Attributes())
{
   if (xAttr.Value.Equals("psk:PageMediaSize"))
   {
      foreach(XAttribute xSubAttr in ticketRootXElement.Element("PageMediaSize").Descendants(xns_psf + "Option").Attributes())
      {
         if (xAttr.NextAttribute.Name.LocalName.Equals("name"))
         {
            xAttr.NextAttribute.SetValue("psk:ISO" + cmb_PaperSize.SelectedValue.ToString());
         }
      }
   }
}

A: You can can modify the option value of your selected feature as as follows:
var featureName = "psk:PageMediaSize";
var newOptionValue = "psk:ISOA3"; // Your modified value here

XNamespace xns_psf = @"http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2003/08/printing/printschemaframework";
var query = from f in ticketRootXElement.DescendantsAndSelf(xns_psf + "Feature")
            where (string)f.Attribute("name") == featureName
            select f;
foreach (var f in query)
{
    // TODO: handle the situation were a child <psf:Option> element is missing.
    f.Element(xns_psf + "Option").SetAttributeValue("name", newOptionValue);
}

Notes:

*

*XElement.Attribute(XName) can be used to look up an attribute by name, and XElement.SetAttributeValue(XName, Object) can be used to set or add an attribute value by name.

*Casting an XAttribute to a string returns the value of the attribute, or null if the attribute was missing, and so is convenient to use when filtering by attribute value in a where statement.

*If the selected <psf:Feature> element does not have a child <psf:Option> element, the above code will throw an exception.  You will need to check your XML schema to determine whether this is possible, and if so, how to handle it.
Demo fiddle here.

A: Actually I did it using the following code. But "bdc" solution (above answer) sounds much better:
var element = ticketRootXElement.Descendants(xns_psf + "Feature")
              .Where(arg => arg.Attribute("name").Value == "psk:PageMediaSize")
              .Single();

var subelement = element.Descendants(xns_psf + "Option")
                .Single();

subelement.FirstAttribute.SetValue("psk:ISOA3");

New rules target procurement black economy
New procurement policies will rule dodgy companies out of doing business with government.
Businesses seeking to tender for Australian government procurement contracts will for the first time have to show proof they have squeaky clean tax credentials under new guidelines designed to increase the integrity of government procurement.
From July, businesses tendering for contracts over $4 million will be required to provide a statement from the ATO proving they have a satisfactory tax record, the Treasury guidelines say.
"Increasing the integrity of Commonwealth Government procurement processes promotes good tax
Mathias Cormann
behaviour and creates an even playing field for businesses that comply with their tax obligations," the document, released in March, says.
In a joint message, Assistant Treasurer Stuart Robert and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann say supply chain integrity can be easily undermined as a result of illegal supplier practices, of which purchasers are often unaware.
"This policy is about reducing black economy behaviour by businesses involved in government procurement contracts so the government can lead by example and support businesses that are doing the right thing," they say.
"The black economy harms those less able to protect themselves and penalises those doing the right thing. The black economy undermines trust and creates an unlevel playing field."
Connections to organised crime
The policy follows the final report of the Black Economy Taskforce, which found the supply chain is becoming more complex and competitive and recommended targeting government procurement to ensure the government led by example.
That taskforce report, released in October 2017, found the public sector, no less than the private sector, is under pressure to cut costs and may opt for the cheapest bid, "even if it seems suspiciously low".
It also noted that government across all levels is a large procurer of services in high-risk sectors such as building and construction, security and cleaning, long and complex supply chains are hard to police.
"We have heard of examples where honest businesses are underbid by tenderers with unrealistically low bids. In such cases businesses are unlikely to comply with all tax and employment obligations. In some cases there were connections to organised crime."
The new policy guidelines will be introduced over a year, with businesses eventually also required to demonstrate they meet superannuation and third party reporting obligations and disclose any court order penalties or convictions for phoenixing, bribery or corruption.
Tax agents and consulting firms that provide advisory services may also have to provide details of their services to show they are not involved in promoting dodgy tax schemes.
The policy comes into force on July 1 and applies to new tenders on or after that date for all goods and services. It doesn't affect existing contracts.
It requires that companies supply a Statement of Tax Record (STR) within four days of making a tender submission. The STR will remain valid for 12 months.

White rakes it in for his Senate bid
Among other things, today is the deadline for federal candidates to report their campaign finance status. Of the many contenders for Kay Bailey Hutchison's Senate seat, whenever that becomes available, I think it's safe to say that Bill White had the best start to the year. From his press release:
Mayor Bill White reported contributions totaling more than $2.6 million in just over 100 days since launching his U.S. Senate campaign, according to a report filed with the Federal Elections Commission today.
More than 1,400 Texans contributed through March 31st, the end of the filing period. The contributions for the filing period totaled more than $1.8 million.
Campaign Finance Chair Scott Atlas said, "The outpouring of support from donors and volunteers has been simply amazing. The energy around Mayor White's campaign shows Texans believe in his ability to bring people together and get things done. People want their next senator to be a voice for our state's future."
So far, none of the Senate incumbents or hopefuls have their reports up on the FEC disclosure page, so I can't give you the details yet. However, Gardner Selby has some information.
Democrat John Sharp topped five other candidates or prospective candidates for the U.S. Senate in cash on hand as of March 31, though his camp didn't say this afternoon how much of the $2.4 million he piled up since Jan. 1 came from loans. His loan chunk—perhaps tapping Sharp's personal wealth—may be left to show up when his report, filed with the Federal Election Commission, surfaces online.
Another Democrat, Houston Mayor Bill White, had $2.1 million cash on hand at the end of this year's first quarter; he'd taken no loans.
Among Republicans, former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams had $388,628 cash on hand; a haul fueled by $200,000 in loans he gave his exploratory committee. State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, had $310,407. She was trailed in her bank balance by two members of the Texas Railroad Commission, Elizabeth Ames Jones with $164,663 and Michael Williams with $113,957.
As Selby notes, we can't fully judge Sharp's total till we know how much of it was loaned by himself to the campaign. It's possible he did better than any of the Republicans and yet still fell well short of White, and it's possible he outraised White, though to be honest if he'd really taken in $2 million or so, I'd have expected him to be shouting that from the rooftops. We'll know soon enough. In any case, as BOR notes, the two Dems are way out in from of the Rs – heck, all of them put together can't match either Dem. That may change if a David Dewhurst or a Greg Abbott jumps in, but for now, it's a nice position for the Dems to be in.
Other reports of interest, all Congressional:
– Pete Sessions, who has been in the crosshairs of the DCCC lately and whose district is trending strongly Democratic, had a good quarter with over $200K raised and almost $900K on hand. Sessions has always been an able fundraiser, no doubt why he's chairing the NRCC this go-round.
– Mike McCaul doesn't have a report yet. He already has a well-heeled challenger and a DCCC bulls-eye on his back, but he's also filthy rich and will not be outgunned financially.
– John Culberson had a decent quarter, with $100K raised, though only a modest $70K on hand. He didn't leave anything in reserve after his expensive re-election fight last year, and though I think he's likely to skate this time around, I'll bet he invests some time in restocking his coffers.
– Sheila Jackson Lee didn't raise much, and spent more than she raised, but she starts the year with over $400K on hand, which may give pause to anyone looking to primary her.
– The benefits of running for President, having a national following, and being stalked by Borat not having an opponent in the last cycle: Ron Paul has over two million dollars on hand, despite raising almost nothing and spending nearly $250K.
– Randy Neugebauer in CD19 doesn't have a report up yet, either, but according to the CREW crew, he wants to use his campaign funds to pay for the use of his yacht to fundraise for his campaign. Just click over and see for yourself. The yacht is anchored in DC, in case you were wondering (as I was) what the heck one would do with a yacht in Lubbock.
– Former Congressman Jim Turner, who was drawn out of his seat in the 2004 Tom DeLay re-redistricting, still has over a million bucks on hand. Which in theory he eventually needs to dispose of in some fashion, either on another campaign of his own or by giving it to other candidates.
That's all for now. I'll add to this as I see more reports.

To begin, there is no right or wrong way to prepare. What one person may believe is the only way to go will be seriously questioned by others. For instance, one second year once stated to every first year that the only way to prepare was to begin by reading a listed stack of textbooks, cover to cover. While it worked for her, it may not work for everyone. So, this section is intended to be more of a collection of tips than a hard recipe.
Schedule: Case interview preparation is a frustrating, time-consuming process. As the consulting interview section describes, you can practice for weeks without knowing if you are doing the case correctly. It helps to schedule your time. Devote a block of time every day or several times a week to practice cases, and stick to it. Force yourself to work on cases during that time.
How many: There is no magic number of how many cases you should do by the time interviews start. Some are satisified with 10 and do very well, others need to do 40-50 before they feel comfortable. Remember, this is not a race. The statement: "the more cases you do, the better prepared you will be" is not necessarily true. The reflection and thought you put into each case will help you grow more than simply the number of cases you do.
Alone or with people: You can work on cases alone, or with others. Do as many cases as you can with other people. After all, this is how your interview will occur. Try hard to find willing 2nd-years and sponsored first- and second-years to do cases with. A bit of experience, both as an employee and as an interviewee, goes a long way. Do not ask any employee of a firm if they can do a case with you, unless they consider you a friend. Most firms will have an in-office case workshop for a variety of schools, to which they invite candidates to practice with consultants.
When with others: Consider the following tips.
Structure: Typically, you will work with one other person for a given case session. One person will give a case, followed by feedback, to the other. If both are interviewing, courtesy dictates that the other then gives a case and feedback to the first. This implies that you will spend 90 to 120 minutes for each case session. While this is a lot of time, you know now to expect it.
Time: The actual interview lasts for various amounts of time. Most firms use 30-minute interviews, with 25-30 minutes for the case. Some firms use 45-minute interviews, with 30-40 minutes for the case. Offices within the firm may even have various interview styles as well. When practicing, be strict on time. You want to simulate real life as best as possible.
Learn from Giving: While, initially, being the interviewer may seem like a waste of time, know that some find it even more helpful than doing the interview. Pick one case early and give it to as many people as possible. You will start to see what interviewees do well and poorly, and will be able to adapt your own style when receiving a case appropriately. If you have time, consider writing your own case and delivering it.
Variety: Work with as many different people as you can. Each person has a different style of interviewing, and the more styles you see the better. Note that this can be a difficult topic. Everyone wants to do as many cases with good people as possible, but if someone else believes you are good and you do not believe the same about them, you may be hesitant to devoting 1-2 hours of your case practice time with them. Be sensitive to this point: you do not want to burn any bridges because of these interviews.
Variety, part 2: Companies interview in a variety of ways. Some use lots of slides and data while requiring you to drive the case, others drive the case for you and drill you with questions. See research for more information on this. Mix up your style of interviewing, so you can practice the variety.
Interview style: When interviewing others, try to mix up the style of interview you give. Be excited and helpful in one interview, while sitting forward in your chair and offering information to the interviewee. Be quiet and reserved the next, sitting back and only speaking when the interviewee asks you a question. Be slightly annoyed the next, cutting off the interviewee when they start to go down the wrong path.
When alone: Consider the following tips.
5-minute Exercises: Use simple, 1-page cases (your management consulting club should have many of these resources available) to practice your frameworks. Read the introduction to the case, make your framework, read your opening sentence, then review the remainder of the case for the answer. Review your framework to see if/how you would change your framework and opening sentence. Do this three times a day several times a week to hone your frameworks quickly and effectively.
Mirror Exercises: Since your face conveys a tremendous amount during the interview, it helps to understand what your face is saying. Follow the same 5-minute Exercise, but read your opening sentence into a mirror and watch yourself carefully. This is tough to do with a straight face, but, like videotaping, extremely rewarding.
Review Your Cases: Keep your notes on cases that you have done and feedback you have received. Every so often, review your past cases and think critically on how you would approach them differently. This review has been found to be tremendously helpful in gaining insight into our behaviors during the interview, as well as what we believe the fix would be.
Videotape: As you approach interview week, consider honing your skills by videotaping yourself in an interview. You will see behaviors that you never would have imagined you do. After several videotaped sessions, you will feel far more comfortable and understanding how your body and face will react to the interview.

Amnesty Boss Releases New Vision To Ex-agitators
The Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Col. Milland Dixon Dikio (retd), has assured ex-agitators in the Niger Delta region that payment of their monthly stipends will be prompt.
He gave the assurance in Port Harcourt, Rivers State at the weekend during a meeting with the leadership of phase 1, 2 and 3 of the PAP.
Dikio who is on a tour to the Niger Delta region said the prompt payment of the stipends was part of the far reaching reforms he has introduced to the Programme.
According to him, there were too many bureaucracy in the system which often resulted in the incessant delays in the payment of the N65,000 monthly stipend.
The Amnesty boss said his tour to the region was aimed at taking the programme back to the people which was the original idea at inception.
He said "The PAP is a programme that was designed especially for ex-agitators. If you are not an ex-agitator you're a stranger. I don't see why it will be the other way.
"I was told by some people not to come that the region is not safe.
Why should I be in this office and not visit my main area of operation? So I said I must come, so that we can see eyeball to eyeball, let me hear from you the issues so that together we can begin to discuss how to move on.
"I was in Okochiri in Okrika yesteday where I met with the Big 5 in the palace of King Ateke Tom and it was a fruitful meeting. Today, I am also meeting with you all to reinforce my vision for the PAP."

Digital engineer turns innovative dreams into reality
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- The Marine Corps has actively pursued and awarded the most innovative ideas for years now, encouraging Marines and Sailors of all units and job fields to identify ways to mitigate problems and streamline processes to improve their working environments. Dozens of creative ideas have evolved and are now implemented on the ground to help make the job easier for those service members who face obstacles and challenges in their work centers each day. For motor transport mechanics, an innovative steering wheel remover device is now available to prevent hundreds of tactical vehicles from being deadlined. Last year alone, Marine Corps units submitted 136 requests to replace steering wheels and steering wheel columns that were cracked or broken, rendering Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR) and Logistics Vehicle System Replacements (LVSR) temporarily useless until a new part arrived. "If the part is in stock, the truck can be fixed in about a week," said Staff Sgt. Kyle Owens, a motor transportation chief with Combat Logistics Battalion 5, Combat Logistics Regiment 1, 1st Marine Logistics Group. "But since the replacement part is a fairly large item, supply doesn't usually have a lot in stock. When it has to be ordered, it can take weeks or months to come in before our truck is back on the lot." Marines are most often the cause of the steering wheel cracking because of the tool they use to remove the steering wheel. The 10-way slide hammer kit is a component of the motor transport common B-Kit. It requires a significant amount of pressure to be applied, and then a forced yank in order to release the column. This activity often causes the steering wheel column to crack which renders the steering wheel inoperable and must be replaced. Behind the steering column is the housing for all the lighting wires, so when one of the trucks has a lighting issue that cannot be solved with a simple light bulb change, Marines have to remove the steering wheel to trouble shoot the wire housing unit. Because of the pressure applied to the steering wheel when the pulley is applied, it almost always cracks from the force. "I was a young corporal working on trucks, and I was tired of getting chewed out for breaking the wheel," said Owens. "I was bored at lunch with my buddy one day and we just started brainstorming a better way we could get the steering wheel off without breaking it every time," said Owens. There were some discarded tools and pieces of metal around the motor pool, and Owens saw a standard washer that looked about the same size as the center piece of the MVTR steering wheel. With a little creativity, he found a way to use the washer as a customized tool to remove the steering wheel while keeping it intact. "I drilled three holes into the washer and welded a nut to the hole in the middle," said Owens. "The nut had the proper threading to allow a bolt to be screwed in the middle of the wheel and with enough pressure, it pops the steering wheel right off." The other two holes were drilled in to the washer to align with the holes in the steering wheel. By screwing two bolts through the washer into the holes in the steering wheel, the washer was fastened securely to the wheel. At that point, Owens screwed a third bolt into the welded nut, and eventually it applied enough force against the steering wheel column to remove the wheel with nothing cracking. "When I realized it worked, I put that washer in my pocket and took it with me to every unit I went to," said Owens. "Anytime I would see another mechanic trying to remove a steering wheel using the slide hammer, I would toss them my washer and save them from the butt chewing they'd get if they cracked that wheel." It was 2012 when Owens first started using his handmade tool, and as a young Marine, he never really thought of it as a groundbreaking idea that could be destined for greatness. Eight years later as the chief in his section, he was approached by his unit Innovation Officer who was looking for Marines with good ideas. It was by happenstance that he thought of his washer, which had been used so many times the threading on the nut was almost completely stripped. He asked how he could suggest the idea to get something similar in every single mechanic's kit so that cracking steering wheels became a thing of the past. "My biggest thing was figuring out if there was a way to make more, so that the lance corporals and corporals under me wouldn't have to deal with some of the same challenges I did," said Owens. "If I can help make their life easier, that's all the matters, because I know what it's like to be that young Marine getting in trouble for breaking something, and I'm thinking to myself, 'well how else am I supposed to get the job done?'" Owens' washer was submitted for the Innovation Challenge, but it was also taken to 1st Supply Battalion's Digital Manufacturing Team (DMT) with hopes to duplicate the tool and produce more as a resource for other motor pools. Cpl. Aiden Bemis, a digital manufacturing engineer with 1st Supply Bn., provided the capability to make Owens' dream a reality. Through intense training and a background in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Bemis has perfected the art of reengineering to exploit today's technologies and gain a Marine Corps advantage. He took the device and began designing the replica blueprint for mass production. "What the DMT does is identify parts in the supply chain with long lead times that break often and cost a lot of money that we can produce for way less," said Bemis, who has helped save the Marine Corps more than $50k through additive manufacturing. Originally a field radio operator, Bemis is now part of a small group of Marines in the Process Reform Office who use CAD to take an established item and reengineer it to replicate with 3D printing. "We reverse engineer a finished product and revert it back to a 3D model with accurate measurements for printing," said Bemis. Using a 3D scanner, Bemis was able to scan Owen's gadget to record the exact measurements required for printing. The first model was made of plastic and broke the first time it was tested. Additionally, the diameter was small and the drilled holes were off center, since the original device was built from a standard washer. "The measurements on the initial prototype didn't match the exact location of the holes on the truck itself," said Bemis. "My biggest obstacle was simply getting a more precise location of all the holes." After a few more minor adjustments to the precision and material needed for the 3D printing job, the ultimate version was completed and tested with success. The final tool was printed with 17-4 steel, and popped off its first steering wheel with ease and most importantly, no damage. "There were four prototypes total before we got the finished product," said Bemis. "Once the prototype was finalized, I printed four batches." Each batch takes about a day to print, and consists of 36 steering wheel removal devices. One device weighs about half a pound, and its metal is completely solid. It costs an estimated $65 to print one, and around $150 to replace the steering wheel of an MVTR or LVSR. For more information on the Process Reform Office, additive manufacturing, or to obtain one of the steering wheel removal devices, contact Mr. Robert Broussard at robert.w.broussard@usmc.mil.
Transferring a Legacy
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.-- Col. Nick I. Brown ceremoniously passed his duties as commanding officer of Combat Logistics Regiment 17 to Col. John S. McCalmont during a combined post and relief and change of command ceremony on Camp Pendleton, California, May 13, 2021. The change of command ceremony is a military tradition that represents a formal transfer of authority and responsibility for a unit from one officer to another. "Ready to go at all times, that's what the MLG is," said Brown. Col. Nick L. Brown took command of CLR-17 June 26, 2019 and since then has led the Regiment through various exercises as well as real world operations. Brown will go on to serve as the Executive Assistant for the Deputy Commandant, Installations and Logistics. Col. John S. McCalmont has served in various command positions but is no stranger to the 1st MLG, as he served as the commanding officer of 1st Supply Battalion. "You will have my 110%, all I ask is for your 110% in return and I hope as you leave CLR-17 you'll look back and not only be proud of your accomplishments as an organization but as an individual," said McCalmont. Sgt. Maj. Ronda R. Kirkby also passed her duties as sergeant major of the regiment to Sgt. Maj. Michael S. Ryan during a post and relief ceremony. "Most male Marines, don't say, 'I love my Marines,' but we had a conversation and he said, 'I love my Marines.' I knew right then that he was the right person to take over in this regiment," said Kirkby. Col. John S. McCalmont & Sgt. Maj. Michael S. Ryan will take command of a CLR whose mission is to provide direct support to the 1stMLG with command and control, administration, communications, food services, and services.

Dentistry facts for kids
A dentist and her assistant treating a patient.
Dentistry is a specialty in medicine, which is practiced by a dentist. Dentists find out what's wrong, fix, and help prevent problems with teeth. A dentist has other people that help him with their job. Dental hygienists help people keep their teeth clean. A dental assistant helps the dentist when they are treating a patient. Dental surgeons will perform surgery to fix large or dangerous problems with people's teeth. There are also dentists called orthodontists, who can move people's teeth using braces. Dental surgeons and orthodontists are called specialists.
Dental public health - The study of dental epidemiology and social health.
Endodontics - The study, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp.
Oral pathology - The study, diagnosis, and sometimes the treatment of oral and maxillofacial related diseases.
Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology - The study and radiologic interpretation of oral and maxillofacial diseases.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - Tooth extractions, dental implants, and facial surgery.
Orthodontics - The straightening of teeth.
Periodontics - Dentists which specialize in the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease
Pediatric dentistry - Dentistry for children.
Prosthodontics - Dentures, bridges and the restoration of implants. Some prosthodontists train more in "oral and maxillofacial prosthodontics", to learn how to replace missing facial parts, such as ears, eyes, noses, etc.
Tooth decay was low in pre-agricultural societies, the growth in farming society about 10,000 years ago correlated with an increase in tooth decay (cavities). An infected tooth from Italy partially cleaned with flint tools, between 13,820 and 14,160 years old, represents the oldest known dentistry, although a 2017 study suggests that 130,000 years ago the Neanderthals already used rudimentary dentistry tools. The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) has yielded evidence of dentistry being practised as far back as 7000 BC. An IVC site in Mehrgarh indicates that this form of dentistry involved curing tooth related disorders with bow drills operated, perhaps, by skilled bead crafters. The reconstruction of this ancient form of dentistry showed that the methods used were reliable and effective. The earliest dental filling, made of beeswax, was discovered in Slovenia and dates from 6500 years ago.
Farmer at the dentist, Johann Liss, c. 1616–17
An ancient Sumerian text describes a "tooth worm" as the cause of dental caries. Evidence of this belief has also been found in ancient India, Egypt, Japan, and China. The legend of the worm is also found in the writings of Homer, and as late as the 14th century AD the surgeon Guy de Chauliac still promoted the belief that worms cause tooth decay.
Recipes for the treatment of toothache, infections and loose teeth are spread throughout the Ebers Papyrus, Kahun Papyri, Brugsch Papyrus, and Hearst papyrus of Ancient Egypt. The Edwin Smith Papyrus, written in the 17th century BC but which may reflect previous manuscripts from as early as 3000 BC, discusses the treatment of dislocated or fractured jaws. In the 18th century BC, the Code of Hammurabi referenced dental extraction twice as it related to punishment. Examination of the remains of some ancient Egyptians and Greco-Romans reveals early attempts at dental prosthetics. However, it is possible the prosthetics were prepared after death for aesthetic reasons.
Ancient Greek scholars Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote about dentistry, including the eruption pattern of teeth, treating decayed teeth and gum disease, extracting teeth with forceps, and using wires to stabilize loose teeth and fractured jaws. Some say the first use of dental appliances or bridges comes from the Etruscans from as early as 700 BC. In ancient Egypt, Hesi-Re is the first named "dentist" (greatest of the teeth). The Egyptians bound replacement teeth together with gold wire. Roman medical writer Cornelius Celsus wrote extensively of oral diseases as well as dental treatments such as narcotic-containing emollients and astringents. The earliest dental amalgams were first documented in a Tang Dynasty medical text written by the Chinese physician Su Kung in 659, and appeared in Germany in 1528.
Historically, dental extractions have been used to treat a variety of illnesses. During the Middle Ages and throughout the 19th century, dentistry was not a profession in itself, and often dental procedures were performed by barbers or general physicians. Barbers usually limited their practice to extracting teeth which alleviated pain and associated chronic tooth infection. Instruments used for dental extractions date back several centuries. In the 14th century, Guy de Chauliac invented the dental pelican (resembling a pelican's beak) which was used to perform dental extractions up until the late 18th century. The pelican was replaced by the dental key which, in turn, was replaced by modern forceps in the 20th century.
Dental needle-nose pliers designed by Fauchard in the late 17th century to use in prosthodontics
The first book focused solely on dentistry was the "Artzney Buchlein" in 1530, and the first dental textbook written in English was called "Operator for the Teeth" by Charles Allen in 1685.
In the United Kingdom there was no formal qualification for the providers of dental treatment until 1859 and it was only in 1921 that the practice of dentistry was limited to those who were professionally qualified. The Royal Commission on the National Health Service in 1979 reported that there were then more than twice as many registered dentists per 10,000 population in the UK than there were in 1921.
A microscopic device used in dental analysis, c. 1900
It was between 1650 and 1800 that the science of modern dentistry developed. The English physician Thomas Browne in his A Letter to a Friend (c. 1656 pub. 1690) made an early dental observation with characteristic humour:
The Egyptian Mummies that I have seen, have had their Mouths open, and somewhat gaping, which affordeth a good opportunity to view and observe their Teeth, wherein 'tis not easie to find any wanting or decayed: and therefore in Egypt, where one Man practised but one Operation, or the Diseases but of single Parts, it must needs be a barren Profession to confine unto that of drawing of Teeth, and little better than to have been Tooth-drawer unto King Pyrrhus, who had but two in his Head.
The French surgeon Pierre Fauchard became known as the "father of modern dentistry". Despite the limitations of the primitive surgical instruments during the late 17th and early 18th century, Fauchard was a highly skilled surgeon who made remarkable improvisations of dental instruments, often adapting tools from watch makers, jewelers and even barbers, that he thought could be used in dentistry. He introduced dental fillings as treatment for dental cavities. He asserted that sugar derivate acids like tartaric acid were responsible for dental decay, and also suggested that tumors surrounding the teeth and in the gums could appear in the later stages of tooth decay.
Panoramic radiograph of historic dental implants, made 1978
Fauchard was the pioneer of dental prosthesis, and he discovered many methods to replace lost teeth. He suggested that substitutes could be made from carved blocks of ivory or bone. He also introduced dental braces, although they were initially made of gold, he discovered that the teeth position could be corrected as the teeth would follow the pattern of the wires. Waxed linen or silk threads were usually employed to fasten the braces. His contributions to the world of dental science consist primarily of his 1728 publication Le chirurgien dentiste or The Surgeon Dentist. The French text included "basic oral anatomy and function, dental construction, and various operative and restorative techniques, and effectively separated dentistry from the wider category of surgery".
A modern Dentist's chair
After Fauchard, the study of dentistry rapidly expanded. Two important books, Natural History of Human Teeth (1771) and Practical Treatise on the Diseases of the Teeth (1778), were published by British surgeon John Hunter. In 1763 he entered into a period of collaboration with the London-based dentist James Spence. He began to theorise about the possibility of tooth transplants from one person to another. He realised that the chances of an (initially, at least) successful tooth transplant would be improved if the donor tooth was as fresh as possible and was matched for size with the recipient. These principles are still used in the transplantation of internal organs. Hunter conducted a series of pioneering operations, in which he attempted a tooth transplant. Although the donated teeth never properly bonded with the recipients' gums, one of Hunter's patients stated that he had three which lasted for six years, a remarkable achievement for the period.
Major advances were made in the 19th century, and dentistry evolved from a trade to a profession. The profession came under government regulation by the end of the 19th century. In the UK the Dentist Act was passed in 1878 and the British Dental Association formed in 1879. In the same year, Francis Brodie Imlach was the first ever dentist to be elected President of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh), raising dentistry onto a par with clinical surgery for the first time.

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/about/welch_library.html
The Historical Collection was established in 1929 in association with the Institute of the History of Medicine, which occupies the top floor of the William H. Welch Medical Library. The rare book collection consists largely of gifts received by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. The largest single donor was Howard O. Kelly, Hopkins's first professor of gynecology. A small, but important collection of books by and about Michael Servetus was the gift of Leonard Mackall, a noted Baltimore bibliophile. The Jacobs Collection is strong in 19th century French clinical medicine and pathology; smallpox vaccination and inoculation; tuberculosis in the 18th and 19th centuries; Louis Pasteur; and Rabelais. The Historical Collection has extensive collections of secondary works. We attempt to collect all current scholarship in the history of medicine published in Roman alphabet European languages, and to selectively acquire materials in related fields, such as history of science and technology; sociology and anthropology of medicine; literature and medicine; women in medicine; and history of the occult. SERVICES: Reference service provided in person, by telephone, and by mail. Interlibrary loans are handled by the Welch Medical Library.
Incunabula: 11 volumes; 16th and 17th century: about 2,000 volumes; 18th century: about 4,000 volumes; 19th and 20th century rare medical books are in both the Historical Collection and the general collection of the Welch Library. Secondary works on history of medicine and related fields: about 30,000 volumes. Our holdings are in OCLC and the Welch Library's online catalog. Scholars interested in the history of Johns Hopkins medicine should be aware of the Alan Mason Chesney Archives, which is a separate unit
