UC Berkeley Chancellor visits Richmond High
Trenise Ferreira and Michael Milano on October 10, 2013
University of California, Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks visited Richmond High School on Wednesday to speak with rising juniors and seniors about navigating the road to a four-year university.
This was Dirks' first visit to a California high school since becoming chancellor of UCB on June 1. He told some 250 students and faculty present that he chose to start the "Achieve U.C. Readiness" tour at Richmond High in part because of Richmond's close proximity to Berkeley, and additionally for its recent trend of sending students on to UCB for their college education.
"There's a place for you at U.C.," Chancellor Dirks told the students. "You have to work to get there, but it's yours."
With Richmond High's large population of underrepresented minority groups, this increase in acceptance is a huge source of pride.
"It's an acknowledgment of how far Richmond has come," said Madeline Kronenberg, the West Contra Costa County School Board President. "We saw every student raise their hand about being ready to go, [being] eligible and excited about going into the UC system. That has not always been the case here at Richmond High."
In 2012, 40 out of the 45 Oilers who applied got into Berkeley. Just two years ago, only 27 students applied. That year, 24 were accepted.
"It's a testament to all the great work that's been done here by the teachers and the administrators," Kronenberg said.
After Dirks addressed the students, the directors of admissions and financial aid spoke about the application process and paying for school.
"The biggest thing I got out of today was to be brave. I'm having a heard time with handling [the process]," said Essence Johnson, a senior at Richmond High. "I was really worried about financial aid, but I'm a lot more confident now that I can afford college."
According to the school's accountability report card, 75-percent of the students at Richmond High are considered "socioeconomically disadvantaged." Many students were relieved to hear how they might achieve a college education in spite of that disadvantage.
"What I learned is that it doesn't really matter how much your parents make. It motivated me more because my parents don't make a lot but I still have a chance to go to a university that I want to," said junior Adrian Navarro.
Principal Julio Franco said that with the chancellor coming to visit, he hopes to see an increase in interest in the UC system.

Winters might be fun and, but what follows afterwards is every glass surface getting frost over it due to the severe and relentless winter. And it is just as difficult to scrape that ice frost from the surface, but not anymore with the ice scrapers. These are normally very compact and durable tools, made mostly of plastic, and their brass blade can help in scraping it off very easily and efficiently. They come in different colors and sizes, but most of them work to be quite hard on the ice, while they protect your glass and fragile surfaces as well. If not sure which one to choose, the following is the list of the best ice scrapers review you can choose from.
This ice scraper is a product by Hopkins. It is a blue colored, small rectangular scraper which functions in three different ways, and at the same time, is compact enough to be stored in pockets or bags easily. It features an ice scraper, an ice crusher and a squeegee. The scraper can be effectively used whenever there is a need to scrape off ice from car windows, glass, or any other surface that can get frosted by snow in winters. The crusher helps in easy crushing of ice for different purposes, and the squeegee can help you clean. Anyone could not imagine so many functions in such a small products, but here it is! The product is also guaranteed to provide the best of its services, and does its work with amazing efficiency.
This ice scraper is a product by Ka-Bar, and is a ice scraper that is quite wide, which is definitely made to scrape off ice from large surfaces easily and faster. The wide front of the scraper helps scrape off a large amount of ice at a time, and other than that, it is light weight, so that handling as well as carrying it is easier. The shape is compact enough so that it can be stored easily, covering lesser space. The product is wholly made in USA, and is solely designed in a way that ice scraping is not a difficult task any more. You can scrape off ice from whatever surfaces you want, which can surely be a pain in winters, as things get frosted very often.
This ice scraper is a product by BirdRock, and is designed amazingly, so that it features an ice cutter as well as a scraper. It has jaws beneath the scraper, which enables it to be able to cut the ice first, so that after that you can easily scrape the ice off the surface. It is light weight and compact, efficiently designed with technique so that handling it, as well as carrying and storing it is easier. It has a rubber grip, so that it won't slip out of your hands, and the thumb grip makes sure you are holding it steady and hard, so that you can easily scrape off the ice. The hanging hole, at the bottom of the scraper, makes it easier to store it, as it can be hanged anywhere, taking just a little space with its compact design.
This ice scraper is a product by HR designs, and it is a modern looking and technically designed ice scraper. It has brass blades, which efficiently help in scraping the ice over the surface, and are definitely nonabrasive. The ice scraper has a unique feature, which is a pivoting head. The head pivots around, according to the user, so that ice can be scraped off the surface much more easily, efficiently and faster. There is a foam grip over the handle, making the users grip over the scraper much steadier. With one push of a button, the blades can be locked in place; either close, open or the pivoting position. The brass blades have an ability to flex, when it comes to curved surfaces. The highest quality materials are used to make to scraper, so that it is as long lasting as guaranteed.
This ice scraper is a product by Hopkins, and comes in carrying colors. The best feature about this is the simple flat design, that doesn't only prove to be easy to hold and use, but it also makes it easier to store and carry it whenever and wherever you want to.

It is long, with the bottom curved so that the ice can be scraped with that part of the scraper. It is the best if you want to use it on the windshield or the windows of your car, which normally get frosted while winters. Ice scraping is made easy with this simple, affordable and easy to use product.
This ice scraper is yet again a product of Hopkins, but has a very unique and effective design, and comes in varying colors. The handle of the ice scraper is covered with foam grip, so that it is impossible for the user to lose grip while he is using the scraper. It has a double blade system, which make sit have two blades, opposite to each other, so that you can scrape ice off effectively. It has a leverage point, so that the power can be added on, and this product thus proves to be the best when it comes to winters, and how things get frost over them. It can be effectively used on car windshields, or windows around the house. It is very cheap, and just as much effective.
This ice scraper is a product by Primary Automotive, and is molded and designed in the best and the strongest way possible. With the thick plastic, it is totally durable and resistant to any kind of force, which means it scrapes off the ice without breaking.

Former WBO superbantam challenger Zsolt Bedak, 15-1, have signed a promotional deal with Felix-Promotion, headed by Felix Racz, in Hungary.
Bedak, in his first fight for well over two years, will comeback March 23 in Szentes against an opponent to be announced.
Bedak was last seen getting stopped by Wilfredo Vazquez Jr in a quest to win the WBO 122 lb title. He was then promoted by Universum´s daughter company Spotlight Boxing.
Zsolt was last year reportedly close to begin a comeback in Australia but nothing came out of it.

Q: visual vm force gc
*

*i sampling the memory usage and count number of instances for POJO. if when i press  'garbage collecting' in visual vm and i can see the instances down , does that mean it's memory leak free ?

*how to force jvm do garbage collecting everyday at midgnight ? (just like automatically press garbage collect on visualvm) ?  i see visualvm 's cpu usage, gc is always 0%. i set -xmx -xms 1024m, but normally memory usage around 200mb. is this because GC is only done when necessary? that's why always 0% for gc cpu time

*how to check the time of last time doing 'full GC' ?

A: *

*No, not necessarily.  All that really means is that some of your objects can be collected.  You could still have a garbage leak if, for example, the instance count always went down after a GC but not quite to the same level as before; if this "baseline" increased over time you'd run out of memory occasionally.  Also, it's very hard to prove a negative, so it could be that your application does have a memory leak bug, but this specific situation isn't exercising it.

*Let's clarify one thing - you can never force the JVM to run garbage collection.  The best you can do is call System.gc(), which is a hint to the JVM that it might want to run GC now.  It doesn't have to do anything, and a no-op implementation of that method would be perfectly valid.  Basically, garbage collection "just happens" and the less you place specific expectations on it the better.  So basically, yes, it will typically only run when needed.

*Again, this is typically internal knowledge and the details will depend on which garbage collector implementation you're using.  For Sun's JVM, however, you can use the command-line argument -verbose:gc to get verbose garbage collection details output to the console.  If you want to inspect the details programmatically or visually, this information might be exposed via JMX too (i.e. set up your process to use JMX remoting, and connect to it with JConsole).  For me, using Sun's 1.5.0_06 JVM, I see an MBean in java.lang.GarbageCollector that exposes some information including the time of the last full GC.

A: *

*No.  There is no really concrete way to determine if your application is memory leak free.  The best is to run a soak test over an extended period of time and ensure that the size of the live heap is stable.

*You can use the System.gc() method call to run the garbage collector.

*There doesn't seem to be an API for getting the last time a GC has run, however the GarbageCollectorMXBean can give some statistics about the GC.

Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes give the Knicks a buzzworthy backcourt
December 16, 2022 Tomiwa Thomas
It is tough not to ponder what might have been while watching Donovan Mitchell on League Pass and the Cleveland Cavaliers' box scores.
Mitchell is that competent. With an average of 29.2 points per game, a shooting percentage of 50.2, and a 3-point percentage of 43 percent, he has elevated the 18-11 Cavaliers to the top of the second tier of teams in the Eastern Conference, behind Boston and Milwaukee, ahead of the Sixers and Nets. He was a potential Knick. Desired to become a Knick.
It is not a Knick. Occasionally, this still stings.
Nonetheless, a peculiar occurrence has occurred to the Knicks over the past few weeks, notably during their current five-game winning streak, which has, for the time being, reorganized and restructured many of the storylines surrounding the team. They are playing much more aggressively than a month ago. On defense, they are a totally different team.
And most surprising and pleasing?
It appears they may have the makings of a backcourt that can not only generate noise and excitement as only great backcourts can, but also allow the Knicks to reevaluate their position in the Eastern Conference standings.
Brunson was always going to help in this aspect, and he has been all the Knicks anticipated he would be since Day 1 of his four-year, $104 million contract. In recent weeks, however, the emergence of Quentin Grimes as Brunson's legitimate running partner has allowed the Knicks to look and feel more complete than they have in years.
They are not Bonnie and Clyde. They are not what Brunson/Mitchell or Brunson/Dejounte Murray would have been, at least for the time being.
But if you're looking for a site to put seeds for a serious NBA club in 2022, the backcourt is a fantastic location.
Brunson says of Grimes, "He's quite exceptional. He feels fantastic, looks great, and has been performing exceptionally well for us."
Grimes says of Brunson, "When he passes me the ball, I must be prepared to take open shots."
Wednesday's 128-120 overtime victory against the Bulls at Chicago's United Center was emblematic of the duo's recent surge in effectiveness. Grimes made a few shots early, delayed for about two quarters, and then sank three huge 3-pointers in the stretch of the fourth quarter and in overtime, all while enduring a hard night guarding Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.
Brunson? In 39 minutes and 24 seconds, he hardly scored 30 points and dished out seven assists, each of which was played on a barking foot. Brunson speaks and acts as though the concept of not playing if you can get out of bed is demeaning, despite the fact that NBA players with less talent than he does often take "maintenance days." He would rather wear a sweatshirt from Temple or Saint Joseph's than his Villanova T-shirt.
"I don't want to give them the impression that 'I'm healthy, but I'd like to take today off,'" he said after destroying the Bulls in front of his former teammates at Stevenson High, 33 miles north of Chicago, on Wednesday. If I can walk, I can play, and I must bring my equipment.
This mentality makes Brunson's $104 million price tag a bargain and fills everyone else on the floor with comparable tenacity, none more so than his newest sidekick. Grimes and Brunson have started the last 12 games for the Knicks, who have a 7-5 record but are rapidly ascending. The Knicks are sixth in the East with a record of 15-13, but they trail No. 4 Brooklyn by by one game in the loss column.
Grimes is playing with the most confidence he has all year, and the band as a whole is playing with the most confidence they have all year.
"I feel that taking bullets is a normal part of my job," he remarked, "but my confidence never waivers. Even if I am 0-for-30, I will still take the following ten shots."
The Knicks have overcome their first crisis of the season and are playing their best basketball heading into Friday's rematch with the Bulls at the United Center. A shorter rotation has produced more daring results. And a young, energetic backcourt has aided the team in recharging its batteries. It has been a pleasure to observe. Better, it is enjoyable to observe.

Child's Play Review: Is Chucky Really Your Best Friend?
Tamari Perrineau-Palmer July 4, 2019 0 0
This 21st century spin on Child's play opens with a different approach of how the evilness gets inside the doll. In the 1988 classic the doll was inhabited by the ghost of the murderer Charles Lee Ray, this Chucky is a smart doll who is designed to be the child's best friend.
This is not a horror movie, it's more a spin-off of a classic that is wittier. The evil inside the doll is due to a worker turning all safety qualities off on a doll when his boss yells at him and then he falls to his death in the opening scene.
Many criticized the new appearance of the Chucky doll, and I have to agree. It was damaged and the mother decided to keep the doll instead of trashing it. A similar scene with the classic shows a single mom and her son who has problems making friends in the new town. But this new mother works in the toy store that sells the buddy dolls and has a boyfriend.
This doll is like the clingy best friend that does anything to keep you in their life. This doll becomes obsessive and a literalist who will kill anything that stands in the way of him and his best bud's play-time. This doll is the total opposite of the classic and he tries to appeal more to get acceptance from Andy than trying to manipulate him entirely like the first movie.
The lesson in this movie is to check the safety label on your kids' technology toys because this doll goes crazy without its safety qualities. The scariest part of this doll is it kinda foreshadow of the toys of the future, like Amazon Alexa it connects to the entire house and helps you control it. A demonic doll with all that power is not safe…and it was shown in the film.
Sorry slight spoiler ahead…
Andy tries to tell him right from wrong, but he continues to do the opposite and becomes more aggressive for Andy's love and happiness. The first kill is to the cat Ronnie because he made Andy mad and to justify his actions Chucky has a state of the art playback option that allows him to playback past conversations and uses that to mock Andy for his actions. After the fist kill, Andy doesn't tell his mom and that was his ultimate chance to get completely rid of the doll.
This movie was weird in its entirety, but the plot twist in the middle left me confused. This film is definitely up to date with the trends and technology for the new generation. I am impressed by how they infiltrated the generational change, and there are secret meanings that I think went over some people's head.
Hidden meaning I think we all should talk about…
Is it really just a doll?
This Alexa built doll is a product of his environment and that should open some parents' eyes to what they allow their children to watch. Although this movie is fictional it still held a point of thing exposed and what kids mimic.
Is it safe… Technology?
This movie was ahead of its time, allowing a doll to have that much power and a small glitch causing it to kill people shows that we may be in big trouble in the near future. I see many similarities from this in the devices we have now and it makes me wonder, are these safe? What if there's a slight glitch? What will it be capable of doing? Technology is the biggest accomplishment, but it should be monitored and tested more for reasons beyond our control.

The practice of agriculture first began about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia (part of present day Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Jordan) where edible seeds were initially gathered by a population of hunter/gatherers1. Cultivation of wheat, barley, peas, lentils, chickpeas, bitter vetch and flax then followed as the population became more settled and farming became the way of life. Similarly, in China rice and millet were domesticated, whilst about 7,500 years ago rice and sorghum were farmed in the Sahel region of Africa. Local crops were domesticated independently in West Africa and possibly in New Guinea and Ethiopia. Three regions of the Americas independently domesticated corn, squashes, potato and sunflowers2.
It is clear that the farmed crops would suffer from pests and diseases causing a large loss in yield with the ever present possibility of famine for the population. Even today with advances in agricultural sciences losses due to pests and diseases range from 10-90%, with an average of 35 to 40%, for all potential food and fibre crops3. There was thus a great incentive to find ways of overcoming the problems caused by pests and diseases. The first recorded use of insecticides is about 4500 years ago by Sumerians who used sulphur compounds to control insects and mites, whilst about 3200 years ago the Chinese were using mercury and arsenical compounds for controlling body lice4. Writings from ancient Greece and Rome show that religion, folk magic and the use of what may be termed chemical methods were tried for the control of plant diseases, weeds, insects and animal pests. As there was no chemical industry, any products used had to be either of plant or animal derivation or, if of mineral nature, easily obtainable or available. Thus, for example, smokes are recorded as being used against mildew and blights. The principle was to burn some material such as straw, chaff, hedge clippings, crabs, fish, dung, ox or other animal horn to windward so that the smoke, preferably malodorous, would spread throughout the orchard, crop or vineyard. It was generally held that such smoke would dispel the blight or mildew. Smokes were also used against insects, as were various plant extracts such as bitter lupin or wild cucumber. Tar was also used on tree trunks to trap crawling insects. Weeds were controlled mainly by hand weeding but various "chemical" methods are also described such as the use of salt or sea water5,6. Pyrethrum, which is derived from the dried flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium "Pyrethrum daisies", has been used as an insecticide for over 2000 years. Persians used the powder to protect stored grain and later, Crusaders brought information back to Europe that dried round daisies controlled head lice7. Many inorganic chemicals have been used since ancient times as pesticides8, indeed Bordeaux Mixture, based on copper sulphate and lime, is still used against various fungal diseases.
Throughout most of the 1950s, consumers and most policy makers were not overly concerned about the potential health risks in using pesticides. Food was cheaper because of the new chemical formulations and with the new pesticides there were no documented cases of people dying or being seriously hurt by their "normal" use11. There were some cases of harm from misuse of the chemicals. But the new pesticides seemed rather safe, especially compared to the forms of arsenic that had killed people in the 1920s and 1930s12. However, problems could arise through the indiscriminate use and in 1962 these were highlighted by Rachel Carson in her book Silent Spring13. This brought home the problems that could be associated with indiscriminate use of pesticides and paved the way for safer and more environmentally friendly products.
Research into pesticides continued and the 1970s and 1980s saw the introduction of the world's greatest selling herbicide, glyphosate, the low use rate sulfonylurea and imidazolinone (imi) herbicides, as well as dinitroanilines and the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (fop) and cyclohexanediones (dim) families. For insecticides there was the synthesis of a 3rd generation of pyrethroids, the introduction of avermectins, benzoylureas and Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) as a spray treatment. This period also saw the introduction of the triazole, morpholine, imidazole, pyrimidine and dicarboxamide families of fungicides. As many of the agrochemicals introduced at this time had a single mode of action, thus making them more selective, problems with resistance occurred and management strategies were introduced to combat this negative effect.
In the 1990s research activities concentrated on finding new members of existing families which have greater selectivity and better environmental and toxicological profiles. In addition new families of agrochemicals have been introduced to the market such as the triazolopyrimidine, triketone and isoxazole herbicides, the strobilurin and azolone fungicides and chloronicotinyl, spinosyn, fiprole and diacylhydrazine insectides. Many of the new agrochemicals can be used at grams rather than the kilograms per hectare.
Today the pest management toolbox has expanded to include use of genetically engineered crops designed to produce their own insecticides or exhibit resistance to broad spectrum herbicide products or pests. These include herbicide tolerant crops like soybeans, corn, canola and cotton and varieties of corn and cotton resistant to corn borer and bollworm respectively9. In addition the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems which discourage the development of pest populations and reduce the use of agrochemicals have also become more widespread. These changes have altered the nature of pest control and have the potential to reduce and/or change the nature of agrochemicals used.

Police investigating historic allegations of child sex exploitation in Calderdale have arrested 20 men as part of a pre-planned operation.
The men, all aged between 28 and 43, were arrested and a number of addresses were searched in Calderdale and two in Kirklees, following a three day policing operation this week.
All 20 suspects have been interviewed and released, two on police bail and 18 under investigation pending further enquiries.
The investigation centres on allegations made by a woman of sexual abuse committed against her as child predominantly in the Halifax area between 2006 and 2009.
Detective Inspector Allan Raw, of Calderdale District Safeguarding Unit, said: "This investigation forms part of West Yorkshire Police's commitment to the investigation of both current and non-recent sexual offences against children. These are abhorrent crimes that affect the most vulnerable in our society.
"Protecting children and ensuring that victims are put at the heart of everything we do and continues to be a top priority for the Force. We have specialist safeguarding units in each of our five policing districts, which include officers dedicated to dealing with both current and non-recent child sexual exploitation.
"Tackling any form of child abuse is not something that any one agency can do in isolation though which is why we work closely with local authorities and other organisations and charities to support victims, bring offenders to justice and make our communities safer.
"We would urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse, no matter when it took place, to report it to the police. Please be assured that you will be listened to, taken seriously and supported by professionals with experience of dealing with these kind of offences."

Q: ElasticSearch - doc_value in murmur3 hash Continuing a previous question.
What am I trying to do?
Thanks to @AndreiStefan I'm trying to put a murmur3 hash off the heap, using doc_values:
"dynamic_templates": [
{
  "murmur3_hashed": {
    "mapping": {
      "index": "not_analyzed",
      "norms": {
        "enabled": false
      },
      "fielddata": {
        "format": "doc_values"
      },
      "doc_values": true,
      "type": "string",
      "fields": {
        "hash": {
          "index": "no",
          "doc_values": true,
          "type": "murmur3"
        }
      }
    },
    "match_mapping_type": "string",
    "match": "my_prop"
  }
}
]

I used stream2es for reindexing.
What is the result?
After a reindexing, the result property is:
  "my_prop": {
    "index": "not_analyzed",
    "fielddata": {
      "format": "doc_values"
    },
    "doc_values": true,
    "type": "string",
    "fields": {
      "hash": {
        "null_value": -1,
        "precision_step": 2147483647,
        "type": "murmur3"
      }
    }
  },

What is the problem?
Why is the "index": "no", "doc_values": true missing in the result property?

A: This is the list of commands that I tested in ES 1.6.0:
PUT /test
{
  "mappings": {
    "_default_": {
      "dynamic_templates": [
        {
          "murmur3_hashed": {
            "mapping": {
              "index": "not_analyzed",
              "norms": {
                "enabled": false
              },
              "fielddata": {
                "format": "doc_values"
              },
              "doc_values": true,
              "type": "string",
              "fields": {
                "hash": {
                  "index": "no",
                  "doc_values": true,
                  "type": "murmur3"
                }
              }
            },
            "match_mapping_type": "string",
            "match": "my_prop"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

POST /test/test_type/1
{
  "my_prop": "xxx"
}

GET /test/test_type/_mapping

And I got this as output:

Astigmatism is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to the irregular shape of the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, or sometimes the curvature of the lens inside the eye. An irregular shaped cornea or lens prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, the light sensitive surface at the back of the eye. As a result, vision becomes blurred at any distance.
Astigmatism is a very common vision condition. Most people have some degree of astigmatism. Slight amounts of astigmatism usually don't affect vision and don't require treatment. However, larger amounts cause distorted or blurred vision, eye discomfort and headaches.

Q: Can We Call C# Library dll from Apache Cordova? My azure table storage having table named as User where I have stored user information.
I have core class library which contains business logic for fetching data from azure.
My web application uses this library.
Now I want to create mobile app using Cordova.
Can I give reference of class library dll & call functions using ajax in cordova.
If not what is the way to accomplish this task?
Related question is what should I do to fetch record from azure table storage in Cordova app?

A:
Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript

So no, you can't call .NET assemblies directly on the client. You have to put them in a plugin. You can find some samples for Windows Phone here. Another sample in this SO question.


Thank you for accomodating my schedule with prompt and excellent chiropractic treatments. Your team (Lorrie, Grace, and Dr. Trish) make my visits to your office a pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to refer my family or frends to your clinic.
Dear Dr Edwards, My sincerest thanks to you for the excellent chiropractic care that you administered to me in the past few weeks. Since my motor vehicle accident in January of 1991 in which I suffered neck, shoulder and back injuries, I have been treated by my Family Doctor, Orthopaedic Surgeons, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Massage Therapists. The most pain and discomfort relief I have experienced were from the medical practitioners, namely the Chiropractors and the Massage Therapists. Of all the Chiropractors that treated me over the past 20 years, and there were several, you have demonstrated that you were a Chiropractor with a difference. Medical professionals today have a tendency to be business oriented first, medical professional second and human last. You, my good doctor, are human first, medical professional second and business last.
You made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. You checked me over to ensure that you knew what exactly was my problem, took the time to explain what could be the problem, proceeded to treat me with very firm adjustments but also very gentle and caring. Most of the time I was receiving the electrical impulses, you stayed and chatted with me. You have a very positive attitude about what you do and toward life in general. Your wife, Dr Patricia Riley, who practices Chiropractic with you, has never treated me but I see many satisfied patients of hers going in and out of her office. I have had the pleasure of meeting her and speaking with her; there is no doubt in my mind that you support each other very well in your Chiropractic practice and you also make a good team as parents and as a couple. I will have absolutely no hesitation recommending you as a topnotch Chiropractor.
Yours sincerely, E. Michael Ali, CFP, CLU, Ch.FC, EPC.
Whenever I'm hurt I come here, because after a visit I feel better knowing that someone is looking out for my well-being and health as an athlete.Even after my session is completed I'm instructed on what to do in order to remain healthy and heal my injury or pain quickly. I will continue to go to Dr. Edwards knowing that my well-being comes first.
Before September of this year, I had never been to a chiropractor. After I injured my back, I quickly sought out emergency treatment: I called Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation and I was told I could come in immediately! As soon as I walked into the clinic, I was greeted by both Dr. Riley and Dr. Edwards. The overall appearance of the office is warm, comforting, and stylish: they even provide cozy slippers!
Dr. Riley soon realized that I had never had chiropractic work done. Not only did she explain the reasons why and how she would adjust my spine to heal injury, but she also explained the varied misconceptions about chiropractic adjustments. This made me feel very at ease. After a short questionnaire, Dr. Riley professionally and thoroughly assessed my condition. I was adjusted that day and left the office feeling some instant relief. Over the next 3 sessions, my pain and discomfort had disappeared! I believe the work that both Dr. Riley and Dr. Edwards perform is not only effective and a great value, but it is also highly restorative. Thanks to the stellar service at Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation, I am now a believer in the positive effects of having regular adjustments--despite cronic injury. I will definitely continue to receive treatment from Dr. Riley and Dr. Edwards for years to come: I would suggest the same to anyone!
My experiences at Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation have been nothing but wonderful. I had the pleasure of being Dr. Edwards' and Dr. Riley's co-op student and am now a patient at the clinic.
Dr. Edwards and Dr. Riley were wonderful teachers during my co-op placement as they were always warm and welcoming, encouraging of me to ask all and any questions, patient with me as I adjusted to their clinic's procedures and operations and they always took the time out of their busy days to sit down with me to discuss anything I wanted to know about chiropractic care, their clinic, etc. I enjoyed my co-op placement so much that I volunteered to work in their clinic over the summer as well. Both Dr. Edwards and Dr. Riley have taught me so much and I will never forget my experience at their clinic. I can't thank them enough.
During my co-op placement I was also able to experience chiropractic treatments. During one treatment, I mentioned to Dr. Riley that I was experiencing a weird sensation shooting up in my thigh that kept reoccurring - now I have not had a problem since! Otherwise, I do not have any specific conditions, but i always feel a difference in myself afterward! I now receive maintenance treatments as often as I can.
Thank you so very much to Dr. Edwards and Dr. Riley for being such awesome teachers!
I met Dr. Riley by chance during the third trimester of my second pregnancy. I had walked into Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation looking to buy a TENS unit to use during my labour. I was already seeing a chiropractor for my chronic neck pain and headaches as well as extreme lower back pain that set in during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I instantly liked Dr. Riley and Dr. Edwards. They were both warm, intelligent and they listened to my concerns. My chiropractor was going on vacation for a week so I decided to book an appointment with Dr. Riley. I'm so happy I did! I was planning a home birth and I started to think there was no way I could go though with it because of the intense pain my back was causing me. The day before I went into labour my back pain was almost completely gone. I went ahead with my home birth and I used the TENS unit to help me manage my pain during labour. My friends and family are now being treated by Dr. Riley and they all love her. I trust her so much that I began bringing my son to her for treatment when he was only a couple of weeks old. My toddler has also been treated by Dr. Riley and often asks if we can go see Dr. Riley! Dr. Riley has also provided me with orthotics and they are by far the best pairs I have ever had and I've been using orthotics for 8 years. I wear them to run, weight train, and simply walk. I have also been treated by their RMT, Bruce and he is one of the best RMT's I've ever used. I can't say enough good things about Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation.
Dr. Edwards and Dr. Riley provide a warm and welcoming environment each and every time I visit their clinic. Their care and rehabilitation for my various sports injuries have allowed me to live a healthy and active lifestyle that is pain free. When I have had to book an appointment on short notice or changed an existing appointment, Dr. Edwards and Dr. Riley have always accommodated me and provided a level of treatment that is beyond reproach. I can't thank them enough for their care, treatment and professionalism.
My daughter Linnea was Dr. Riley & Dr. Edward's Co-op student in the Winter of 2011 and she very much enjoyed her Chiropractic experience with them. At the time my chronic low back pain, which I had been dealing with for 7 years had gotten progressively worse to the point where there was sharp pain and I was limited to physical activites and that frightened me. I do not believe in pain medication as it only masks the problem and I did not enjoy the side effects that came with it. I believe in natural healing where Acupuncture had helped me but the low back pain would return in time and I wanted an end to my mechanical low back pain.
I visited the Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation Clinic to drop off lunch to Linnea and I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Riley. Instantly I had taken a liking to her and with my Linnea's persistance I made the appointment. My first visit with Dr. Riley was a consultation with a treatment and I noticed an improvement that same day. I followed Doctor's order with applying cold on my lower back 10 minutes on, off and on again, to do a few times during the day which I honestly did not believe that would help me and it did! With no Health plan coverage I found the cost affordable and my visits were down to 3 week appointments after only 2 weeks of frequent visits which currently I visit monthly and look forward to my treatments with Dr. Riley.
Thank you Dr. Riley because of you I am not afraid anymore to be physically active as I am doing more than just walking now. Chiropractic Wellness and Rehabilitation has changed my life for the better!

Journal of Turfgrass Science Back Issues Available on the Web
The Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) and the Turfgrass Information Centre (TIC) announce a joint effort that provides electronic access to back issues of the Journal of Turfgrass Science via the Turfgrass Information File (TGIF).
STRI, a United Kingdom turfgrass researcher, produces the Journal of Turfgrass Science to facilitate dissemination of turf-related research results, while the TIC serves to index the literature of turf, using TGIF to direct users to appropriate research to publications, including the Journal of Turfgrass Science. This agreement will enable TGIF users to go directly from a citation/abstract to the full text of the article for all Journal of Turfgrass Science issues published prior to 1999. Electronic full-text availability will be for all years from 1929 up to the last three. In addition, current subscribers to the STRI will also have access to the electronic back-file via the STRI website homepage.
Turfgrass research expert Dr. James Beard noted that "This will allow students, teachers, researchers and practitioners to spend more time focusing on content rather than spending time looking for the article. This will be an enormous plus."
The years 1989-1998 are currently online. Subscribers to the Turfgrass Information File can access these materials at http://www.turf.lib.msu.edu/. Subscribers to STRI can access these materials via the STRI homepage at http://www.stri.co.uk/books/journal. The process of adding earlier years is underway, and is anticipated that the entire run back to 1929 will be available within this calendar year. Subsequent years, such as 1999, will be added once three years have passed.

Burt is built around a traditional chain of subtractive synthesis but Instead of the traditional way with a nice and clean signal chain Burt adds distortion or exaggerate the signal in every step of the signal path. So even if you start off with a clean sine wave you might end up with something completely different and might even not hear any difference if you change to a saw or square. But be sure of one thing; it will sound like no other synth you heard before!

Q: Better way to iterate over custom-object class Excel VBA I'm trying to figure out a way to iterate over custom-objects contained in (a dictionary) other custom objects without having to use 'set' every time.
my goal would be able to write straight:
For Each Person In Family.GetMembers
    test= Person.Age
Next Person

but the above gives me a object required error. However, I want to avoid something like
for each name in family.keys
   set Person = Family.GetMember(name)
   test= Person.Age
next name

class object cperson
Option Explicit
Private pName As String
Private pAge As Integer
Public Property Let name(name As String):
    pName = name
End Property
Public Property Get name() As String
    name = pName
End Property
Public Property Let Age(Age As Integer):
    pAge = Age
End Property
Public Property Get Age() As Integer
    Age = pAge
End Property

class object cfamily
Option Explicit
Private pFamily As Object
Private pName As String
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set pFamily = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Terminate()
    Set pFamily = Nothing
End Sub
Public Sub Add(Person As CPerson)
    If pFamily.exists(Person.name) Then
        pFamily.Remove Person.name
        pFamily.Add Person.name, Person
    Else
        pFamily.Add Person.name, Person
    End If
End Sub
Public Property Get GetMember(name As Variant) As CPerson:
    Set GetMember = pFamily(name)
End Property
Public Property Let name(name As String):
    pName = name
End Property
Public Property Get name() As String
    name = pName
End Property
Public Property Get GetMembers() As Variant
    Dim tmpArray() As Variant, Person As CPerson, i As Integer, name As Variant
    ReDim tmpArray(pFamily.Count)
    i = 1
    For Each name In pFamily.keys
        Set Person = pFamily(name)
        Set tmpArray(i) = Person
        i=i+1
    Next name
    GetMembers = tmpArray
End Property

A: I've slightly modified your code (Property Get GetMembers() of cFamily class):
Public Property Get GetMembers() As cPerson()
    Dim tmpArray() As cPerson, i As Integer
    ReDim tmpArray(pFamily.Count - 1)

    For i = 0 To pFamily.Count - 1
        Set tmpArray(i) = pFamily.Items()(i)
    Next
    GetMembers = tmpArray
End Property

and now you can use it like follows:
Sub Test()
    Dim family As New cFamily

    Dim p1 As New cPerson
    Dim p2 As New cPerson
    Dim p3 As New cPerson

    Dim p as Variant

    p1.name = "name1"
    p2.name = "name2"
    p3.name = "name3"

    family.Add p1
    family.Add p2
    family.Add p3

    For Each p In family.GetMembers
        MsgBox p.name
    Next
End Sub

Your Property Get GetMembers() was wrong, because:
1) you've defined wrong dimmension of array: ReDim tmpArray(pFamily.Count) means that tmpArray has dimmension 0 To pFamily.Count. You need to use i.e. ReDim tmpArray(1 To pFamily.Count)
2) you haven't increment i - it's always equals 1.

House Armed Services Chair Warns of 'Chaos and Division' After 4 Defense Dept. Members Leave in 2 Days
By Jeffery Martin On 11/10/20 at 5:42 PM EST
U.S. Pentagon Department of Defense Donald Trump Joe Biden
After the Monday firing of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Tuesday's resignation of Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy James Anderson, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Adam Smith said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's administration was sowing "chaos and division."
Esper's firing and the subsequent resignation of Anderson have led some to express concerns that Trump, who has thus far refused to concede the 2020 presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden, may be attempting to surround himself with those who have exhibited loyalty to Trump.
In an apparent break with Trump's decisions, Esper told reporters in June that he was against using active-duty military members to patrol demonstrations over the death of George Floyd. Anderson tendered his resignation on Tuesday. In a Tuesday statement, Smith said that the amount of turnover in the upper echelons of the Pentagon may signal the beginning of "gutting" the Department of Defense.
"As soon as Former Vice President Biden became President-Elect Biden, President Trump and those loyal to him started to sow chaos and division. It appears that chaos has now reached the Pentagon," Smith wrote.
"If this is the beginning of a trend—the President either firing or forcing out national security professionals in order to replace them with people perceived as more loyal to him—then the next 70 days will be precarious at best and downright dangerous at worst," Smith added.
According to a Tuesday statement from the U.S. Department of Defense, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Joseph Kernan and Secretary of Defense Chief of Staff Jen Stewart also tendered letters of resignation on Tuesday.
Esper's replacement, National Counterterrorism Center Director Christopher Miller, assumed his duties as Acting Secretary of Defense on Monday.
Anderson's duties are expected to be fulfilled by Anthony Tata. In July, Tata was rejected by the U.S. Senate for the same position after some of Tata's deleted tweets, which were Islamophobic in nature, resurfaced.

The moves in the Pentagon may indicate a deepening resolve on behalf of the Trump administration to hinder attempts by Biden's camp to begin the process to transition into the White House.
Although votes are still being tabulated, projections show Biden as the winner of both the U.S. popular vote and the electoral college. The Trump administration has filed lawsuits in some battleground states over their handling of mail-in ballots. Trump has claimed that the Democrats set out to "steal" the election from him, although those allegations have so far been unsubstantiated.
The White House has signaled that it would make a transition difficult for Biden's administration. Trump has claimed victory in the election, as has Biden. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a Tuesday press conference that there would be a "smooth transition to a second Trump administration." It was not immediately clear if Pompeo was speaking facetiously.

Mike Pompeo Appears to Joke About 'Smooth Transition' to Second Trump Term
During a question and answer session with reporters on Tuesday, Biden said that regardless of the White House's refusal to acknowledge the Democratic ticket's victory, the transition was "well underway."
"The ability for the administration in any way by failure to recognize our win does not change the dynamic at all and what we're able to do," Biden said. "We are going to be going, moving along in a consistent manner, putting together our administration in the White House and reviewing who we're going to pick for our Cabinet positions."

First gas from Geographe wells
Beach Energy is pleased to announce the first two wells of its offshore Otway Basin campaign – Geographe 4 and 5 – have been connected to the Otway Gas Plant and are now delivering gas into the East Coast market following the completion of the commissioning phase.
The new wells effectively double the Otway Gas Plant production capacity which now has the well capacity to deliver ~180 TJ/d. Actual production rates will depend on customer nominations which vary on a seasonal and daily basis.
Connecting the remainder of the wells from the offshore campaign and connecting the nearshore Enterprise discovery is required to attain plant nameplate production capacity of 205 TJ/d.
Beach Energy Acting CEO, Morné Engelbrecht said the connection of the Geographe wells is an important step towards delivering on Beach's growth targets at a time when the East Coast Gas market is potentially facing shortfalls as early as 2023.
"Achieving first gas from these Geographe wells is an important milestone for Beach as it represents the first gas from our first ever offshore drilling campaign," Mr Engelbrecht said.
"This represents one of the first key building blocks towards our production growth target of 28MMboe in FY24.
"We know that the East Coast market needs this supply of natural gas and this is why Beach is continuing its development campaign in the Otway Basin and we are focussed on delivering that program."
Drilling and testing of Thylacine North 1 well, the third well in the 6-well development campaign, was also recently completed with the rig preparing to move to the Thylacine West 1 well location which will be followed by two more Thylacine development wells.

FUGRO'S QUICKVISION® TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT SAFE SUBSEA OPERATIONS IN BRAZIL'S MERO 2 PROJECT
Maersk Supply Service has awarded Fugro a subsea survey and positioning contract to support installation of an anchoring system for the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Sepetiba in Petrobras' Deepwater Mero 2 project, offshore Brazil.
These operations are scheduled to begin in Q1 2022 and last approximately 4 months. Fugro will accomplish the work using their Quick Vision augmented reality camera, a touchless, vision-based approach proven in Petrobras' Mero 1 Deepwater project last year.
Quick Vision® is part of Fugro's strategy to make offshore operations safer, more efficient and more sustainable. Integrated with Fugro's Starfix® navigation suite, the camera system eliminates the need for staff to mount sensors on subsea assets, which in turn reduces offshore personnel needs, vessel time and carbon emissions. For the Mero 2 project, Fugro will use the technology to help guide installation of 24 subsea torpedo piles and mooring lines, as well as to support real-time positioning for additional subsea installation and construction activities.
John Chatten, Business Development Manager for Fugro's marine operations in Brazil stated, "We are delighted to be working with Maersk Supply Service on their Mero 2 project for Petrobras following the successful deployment of our Quick Vision® technology on the Mero 1 project. It is Fugro's goal to be the partner of choice for subsea services, delivering innovative solutions for complex installation and construction projects that contribute to the responsible development of Brazil's energy assets."
Mero 1 and Mero 2 projects are part of the Mero field under Libra Consortium responsibility, in which Petrobras is the operator (40 %) with the following partners: Shell Brazil (20 %), TotalEnergies (20 %), CNODC (10 %) and CNOOC Limited (10 %), together with stated owned company Pré-sal Petróleo S.A. – PPSA – as the manager of the production sharing contract.
WOODSIDE COMPLETES PLUTO TRAIN 2 SELL-DOWN TO GIP
Woodside has completed the sale of a 49% non-operating participating interest in the Pluto Train 2 Joint Venture to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).
This follows Woodside's announcement on 15 November 2021 that it had entered into a sale and purchase agreement with GIP. On 22 November 2021 the Pluto Train 2 Joint Venture announced its final investment decision, contemporaneously with the final investment decision for the Scarborough development.
Pluto Train 2 is a key component of the Scarborough development and includes a new LNG train and domestic gas facilities to be constructed at the existing Pluto LNG onshore facility. The estimated capital expenditure for the development of Pluto Train 2 from the effective date of 1 October 2021 is US$5.6 billion (100% project).
The joint venture arrangements require GIP to fund its 49% share of capital expenditure and an additional amount of construction capital expenditure of approximately US$822 million. Woodside's capital expenditure will be reduced accordingly.
The first LNG cargo from Pluto Train 2 is targeted for 2026.
Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said she looked forward to developing Pluto Train 2 in close collaboration with GIP.
"GIP brings established, global capabilities to the Pluto Train 2 Joint Venture which will support delivery of a world-class project.
"The development of Scarborough gas through Pluto Train 2 is expected to deliver significant value to our shareholders, create thousands of jobs and deliver energy to domestic and international customers for decades to come," she said.
Petrofac Bolsters Offshore Wind Capabilities with Senior Appointment
Petrofac, a service provider to the energy industry, has appointed Phaedra Pritchard as New Head of Wind Operations and Maintenance (O&M), boosting its global offering in the wind sector.
Pritchard will be responsible for building and supporting Petrofac's O&M service capability within the offshore wind sector, both in the UK and globally.
"Formerly of Semco Maritime, Phaedra brings more than 14 years' industry experience and has a varied background in O&M, project management, and business support roles," Petrofac said.

Unique cost-effective scalability of Hydrogen Optimized's RuggedCell(TM) water electrolyser cited as key factor leading to agreement
Hydrogen Optimized, a subsidiary of Key DH Technologies Inc., today announced that it has entered into a confidential Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a large industrial company to provide more than 40 MW of RuggedCell(TM) water electrolyser capacity for hydrogen production.
The LOI provides for high current unipolar RuggedCell(TM) systems to be deployed at one or more sites by the company, which plans to roll out hundreds of megawatts of electrolyser capacity over time. It also specifies that the installed systems could be scaled up as demand for hydrogen grows.
"The signing of this LOI is a significant step forward in our commercialization process," said Andrew T. B. Stuart, President and CEO of Hydrogen Optimized. "A key factor underlying the agreement is our system's unique capability to double or more in capacity without requiring the installation of costly additional electrical and other equipment."
Stuart added, "More and more potential clients tell us they are looking for a water electrolysis system that can be economically deployed in the tens of megawatts and can be expanded at a relatively low incremental cost as the MW rating of the project grows. The RuggedCell(TM) system makes this possible as it requires fewer power conditioning units to accommodate expansion. This contrasts with small module systems that must be fully replicated to increase output, and therefore cannot gain economies of scale."
RuggedCell(TM) water electrolysis technology was designed from the start to offer important capabilities which were missing in the market. These include:
– The use of low-cost materials that, unlike many other electrolysers in the market today, are free of iridium and other highly expensive platinum group metals;
– Ease of mass manufacturing;
– High-current architecture that uniquely enables individual hydrogen production modules in the hundreds of megawatts each; and
– The proven capability of RuggedCell(TM) electrolysers to ramp from zero to 50,000 amperes in under 10 seconds and then very quickly reduce the current to any level, even down to zero amperes. This capability supports the system's integration with intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind or solar, and with use on grids or micro-grids with widely varying power availability.
The main driver behind the mass deployment of water electrolysis is the need to reduce the carbon intensity of hard to abate industries such as ammonia, cement, methanol, steel, heavy duty transportation and other fossil fuel-intensive applications. Hydrogen produced with low to zero carbon dioxide emissions is widely recognized as key to achieving "net zero" emissions by 2050. To that end, recently the World Hydrogen Council called for hydrogen to contribute over 20% toward global carbon abatement by 2050.

Ah, jitter – the elusive enemy of digital audiophiles. In somewhat over-simplified terms, jitter refers to the timing errors by which the ones and zeroes arrive at your DAC, the audible affects of which could result in a woolly bass, confusing sound-staging or rolled-off treble. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary. Many of today's higher-end DACs feature on-board jitter correction – in essence, the digital signal is re-clocked. But what to do if your DAC doesn't feature such progressive technology?
Enter the the Firestone Bravo (RRP $199) – a 'digital processor' that sits between your transport (Squeezebox, Sonos or computer) and re-clocks the digital data prior to being sent to the DAC. Theoretically, it eliminates/reduces jitter. Much like the jitter-blasting M2Tech Hiface, the Firestone Bravo is capable of extracting 24-bit audio via USB, but it aces the Hiface with its additional SPDIF (both coaxial and optical) inputs. Connecting the USB to a source will override the optical input, which in turn takes priority over the coaxial input. Outputs are limited to coaxial and optical.
The fascia of the Bravo is a simple affair. You have a choice of black or silver. It sports a blue LED to indicate that all is well with power supply (a switching module), a green LED to indicate that a digital signal is locked and loaded, another greed LED that confirms USB connection and simple on/off toggle switch. Neither LEDs possesses the retina-boiling, laser-like quality of many of the budget hifi products emanating from the factories of Taiwan and China.
If need be, the Bravo can be hidden away out of sight but the aesthetics of the Bravo/Spitfire partnering are also worthy of praise. Both units are of the same matchbox-like dimensions and assume more of a system-like stance when house in the Firestone Audio Fire-Rock Rack System (RRP $109); which comprises four solid steel pillars and three, thinner steel plates between which the Bravo and Spitfire are snugly sandwiched. Although many might baulk at spending big on the Fire-Rock rack system, its modular design – it can be extended vertically as more Firestone "Cute Series" components are added – might appeal to those for whom aesthetics take precedence over staying within budget.
When connected upstream of an MHDT Paradisea DAC, the Bravo injected the soundstage with a healthy and generous dose of air – skepticism be gone! When considering the soundstage spectrum as three vertical subdivisions: bass, mids and treble the Bravo injects small and subtle improvements into each. The most pronounced of which is in the top end. More impressive was what the Bravo achieved with soundstage organisation. The soundstage took on a greater sense of cohesion with each instrument occupying a better defined location between the speakers. Soundstage height was also lifted a little. Nothing that was oh-my-word dramatic, but an improvement nonetheless.
Predictably, when called in for a tour of duty to liaise between a Squeezebox and a Bel Canto DAC3, the improvements were considerably less palpable, maybe even non-existent. After all, the DAC3 already possesses excellent jitter-reduction circuits. But this Firestone box o' tricks is not for owners of a $3000+ reference DAC. It is for those with more modest budgets looking for a cheap upgrade to an existing budget DAC. Think MHDT, Maverick, Valab, Keces, Lite, AudioGd models priced south of $1000. Owners of the aforementioned DAC brands make you Firestone's target market with its Bravo digital re-clocking unit.
Think of the Firestone Bravo as a M2Tech Hiface for audiophiles who not only run audio out of their PC/Macs, but access the majority of their music via Squeezeboxen or Sonos. The Bravo is an inexpensive way of upgrading the sound of most budget DACs; but buyers should note that they will also require an additional digital cable, either optical or coaxial. This lifts the Bravo's associated financial burden by a bare minimum of a further $50. The irony being that the Bravo brings a lift in sound quality that would best nearly all cable upgrades of similar dollar outlay. As a budget-sensitive upgrade, the Firestone Bravo comes highly recommended.
Try it with a DIY Belden H-121 cable and Rean NYS352 connectors and You will surprised or not !?
