Paper Tiger: Impeach the IRS Commissioner?

Congress should fulfill its constitutional duty to police executive-branch lawlessness. Don't hold your breath.
George Will writes: Republican congressional leaders ardently want conservative members of the House to not force a vote on impeaching the IRS commissioner. The public does not care about John Koskinen's many misdeeds. And impeachment will distract attention from issues that interest the public. And because Democrats are not ingrates, the required two- thirds of the Senate will never vote to convict Koskinen, whose behavior continues the pattern of doing what Democrats desire with the most intrusive and potentially punitive government agency.
"Congress has become a paper tiger within our tripartite system."
These Republican leaders' reasons are cumulatively unpersuasive. Resuscitating the impeachment power would contribute to revitalizing Congress's Article I powers. Impeachments are rare — no appointed official of the executive branch has been
impeached in 140 years. But what James Madison called the "indispensable" power to impeach should not be allowed to atrophy, as has Congress's power to declare war.

Here are a few pertinent facts. At the IRS, Exempt Organizations director Lois Lerner participated in delaying for up to five years — effectively denying — tax-exempt status for, and hence suppressing political advocacy by, conservative groups. She retired after refusing to testify to congressional committees, invoking the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination.
Koskinen, who became commissioner after Lerner left, failed to disclose the disappearance of e-mails germane to a congressional investigation of IRS misbehavior.

Under his leadership, the IRS failed to comply with a preservation order pertaining to an investigation. He did not testify accurately or keep promises made to Congress. Read the rest of this entry »
George Will: The Case For Impeachment
Posted: October 8, 2015 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Law & Justice, Politics, White House | Tags: Destruction of Evidence, George Will, Internal Revenue Service, IRS, IRS Coverup, John Koskinen, Lois Lerner, Lying to Congress, Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Preservation Order, Tax exemption, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, United States | 1 Comment
Subpoenaed documents, including 422 tapes potentially containing 24,000 Lerner e-mails, were destroyed.
George Will writes: "Look," wrote Lois Lerner, echoing Horace Greeley, "my view is that Lincoln was our worst president not our best. He should [have] let the [S]outh go. We really do seem to have 2 totally different mindsets." Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, was referring to Southern secessionist states when he urged President-elect Lincoln to "let the erring sisters go in peace."
Greeley favored separating the nation from certain mind-sets; Lerner favors suppressing certain mind-sets. At the Internal Revenue Service, she participated in delaying for up to five years — effectively denying — tax-exempt status for, and hence restricting political activity by, groups with conservative mind-sets. She retired after refusing to testify to congressional committees, invoking Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.
As the IRS coverup of its and her malfeasance continues, the Republicans' new House leaders should exercise this constitutional power: "The House . . . shall have the sole power of impeachment." The current IRS director, John Koskinen, has earned this attention.
"After Koskinen complained about the high cost in time and money involved in the search, employees at a West Virginia data center told a Treasury Department official that no one asked for backup tapes of Lerner's e-mails."
The Constitution's framers, knowing that executive officers might not monitor themselves, provided the impeachment recourse to bolster the separation of powers. Federal officials can be impeached for dereliction of duty (as in Koskinen's failure to disclose the disappearance of e-mails germane to a congressional investigation); for failure to comply (as in Koskinen's noncompliance with a preservation order pertaining to an investigation); and for breach of trust (as in Koskinen's refusal to testify accurately and keep promises made to Congress).

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, says the IRS has "lied to Congress " and "destroyed documents under subpoena." He accuses Koskinen of "lies, obfuscation and deceit": "He assured us he would comply with a congressional subpoena seeking Lois Lerner's emails. Not only did he fail to keep that promise, we later learned he did not look in earnest for the information."
After Koskinen complained about the high cost in time and money involved in the search, employees at a West Virginia data center told a Treasury Department official that no one asked for backup tapes of Lerner's e-mails. Read the rest of this entry »
Lois Lerner's Hard Drive vs Industrial Strength AMERI-SHRED AMS-750 HD Shredder
Posted: July 30, 2015 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Law & Justice, Politics | Tags: Ameri-Shred, Americans for Tax Reform, AMS-750HD, Barack Obama, Commissioner, Electronic media, Hard disk drive, Internal Revenue Service, John Koskinen, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, United States Congress, United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform | 1 Comment
SPOILER ALERT: The AMS-750 HD Shredder WINS!
Alexander Hendrie continues: The House Oversight Committee report cites an officially transcribed
interview with John Minsek, senior investigative analyst with the IRS Criminal Investigations (CI) unit. Minsek examined the Lerner hard drive in 2011. In the transcribed interview, he notes Lerner's hard drive contained "well-defined scoring creating a concentric circle in the proximity of the center of the disk." The Oversight Committee report states:
Detail from amber-shred.com product website
"Using the CI unit's digital forensic facilities, Minsek opened the hard drive and conducted additional tests. Once he opened the hard drive, Minsek noticed "well-defined scoring creating a concentric circle in the proximity of the center of the disk."
Ameri-Shred's AMS-750HD hard drive shredder will shred 900 to 1800 hard drives per hour, depending on your voltage and shred width. It can be plant based or placed in a truck for mobile hard drive shredding.
So how did the scoring get there?
Last month, testimony from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) revealed that Lois Lerner's hard drive had "scoring on the top platter of the drive." The testimony also noted that the IRS technician that inspected the hard drive believed that additional steps could have been taken to recover data, although this did not occur and the hard drive was later destroyed by an industrial strength AMERI-SHRED AMS-750 HD shredder.
[Read the full story here, at Americans for Tax Reform. For more about industrial strength Ameri-Shred HD shredders, visit ameri-shred.com]
Given these facts, it is logical to question how the "scoring" occurred and whether there was foul play involved. Here it what is known thus far:
– According to TIGTA testimony submitted to the Oversight Committee on June 25, 2014, Lerner's laptop stopped communicating with the IRS server on Saturday June 11, 2011, between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

A Message to Leaders of #Congress From #IRS Commissioner, Public Servant John Koskinen

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Has Got to Go
THE SMIDGEN REPORT UPDATE: IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Has Got to Go
Posted: July 28, 2015 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Law & Justice, White House | Tags: Barack Obama, Chairman, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Darrell Issa, Federal Bureau of Investigation, First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Getty Images, Internal Revenue Service, Jason Chaffetz, John Koskinen, United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform | 2 Comments
If the president doesn't tell Commissioner Koskinen to go, then we in Congress should impeach him.
Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan write:
Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen needs to go.
When it was revealed in 2013 that the IRS had targeted conservative groups for exercising their First Amendment rights, President Obama correctly called the policy "inexcusable" and pledged accountability. He even fired the then-acting IRS commissioner because he said it was necessary to have "new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward."
"A taxpayer would never get away with treating an IRS audit the way that IRS officials have treated the congressional investigation."
Unfortunately, Commissioner Koskinen, who took over in the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, has failed the American people by frustrating Congress's attempts to ascertain the truth. A taxpayer would never get away with treating an IRS audit the way that IRS officials have treated the congressional investigation. Civil officers like Mr. Koskinen have historically been held to a higher standard than private citizens because they have fiduciary obligations to the public. The IRS and Mr. Koskinen have breached these basic fiduciary duties:
• Destruction of evidence. Lois Lerner, at the time the director of the IRS's exempt-organizations unit, invoked the Fifth Amendment on May 22, 2013, when appearing before Congress; her refusal to testify put a premium on obtaining and reviewing her email communications. On the same day the IRS's chief technology officer issued a preservation order that instructed IRS employees "not to destroy/wipe/reuse any of the existing backup tapes for email, or archiving of other information from IRS personal computers."
"John Koskinen has violated the public trust, breached his fiduciary obligations and demonstrated his unfitness to serve. Mr. President, it's time for Commissioner Koskinen to go. If you don't act, we will."

Several weeks later, on Aug. 2, the House Oversight Committee issued its first subpoena for IRS documents, including all of Ms. Lerner's emails. On Feb. 2, 2014, Kate Duval, the IRS commissioner's counsel, identified a gap in the Lerner emails that were being collected. Days later, Ms. Duval learned that the gap had been caused in 2011 when the hard drive of Ms. Lerner's computer crashed.
Despite all this—an internal IRS preservation order, a congressional subpoena, and knowledge about Ms. Lerner's hard-drive and email problems—the Treasury inspector general for tax administration discovered that the agency on March 4, 2014, erased 422 backup tapes containing as many as 24,000 emails. (Congress learned of the discovery only last month.)
Ms. Duval has since left the IRS and now works at the State Department, where she is responsible for vetting Hillary Clinton's emails sought by congressional investigations of the Benghazi attacks.
[Read the full text here, at WSJ]
• Failure to inform Congress. Mr. Koskinen was made aware of the problems associated with Ms. Lerner's emails the same month Ms. Duval discovered the gap. Yet the IRS withheld the information from Congress for four months, until June 13, 2014, when the agency used a Friday news dump to admit—on page seven of the third attachment to a letter sent to the Senate Finance Committee—that it had lost many of Ms. Lerner's emails.

Phyllis Schlafy: Democrats Plan To Win Elections With Illegal Immigrant Votes
Posted: March 4, 2015 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Politics | Tags: Barack Obama, Child tax credit, Congressional Research Service, Earned Income Tax Credit, Illegal immigration, Internal Revenue Service, John Koskinen, Social Security number, Tax credit, United States Congress | 4 Comments
Phyllis Schlafy writes: The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections. They just plan to import 5 million non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic.
The way this devious formula works is stunningly simple. Just get the new Republican Congress (under Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell) to pass a full-funding bill for Homeland Security without any exception for the funding of Obama's illegal executive amnesty, which will allow Obama to give work permits, Social Security numbers and driver's licenses to 5 million illegal aliens.
Once the 5 million so-called undocumented persons are given those valuable documents, there is no way to stop them from voting. That conclusion is drawn from the testimony of voting experts such as Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who told the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Feb. 12, "It's a guarantee it will happen."
Kobach's warning was reinforced by testimony before the same committee by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who noted that the 5 million non-citizens would receive the "same documents that federal law requires the states to recognize as valid forms of identification for voter registration." And once an alien registers to vote, Kobach said, it is "virtually impossible" to remove him from the voter rolls.
A third witness, Hans von Spakovsky, suggested that Social Security numbers issued to the 5 million illegal aliens should contain a code (such as "N" for non-citizen) that would instantly reveal their ineligibility to vote. But that simple fix would happen only if the Obama administration sincerely wants to keep them from voting, which I doubt.
A large group of Immigrants, guided by two "coyotes" or guides, walk on the desert of Sonora bound for the border with Arizona. This group consisted of 37 border crossers, from four different countries- They included people from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and one Brazilian. Sasabe, Mexico. 01/23/05
In case the illegal aliens need spending money, they can collect a special handout from the U.S. taxpayers called Earned Income Tax Credit, which was designed to help parents who are working to support their families. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told the Senate Finance Committee on Feb. 3 that as soon as the illegal aliens receive their Social Security numbers, they will be allowed to go back and claim the EITC for up to three previous years in which they worked illegally.

SMIDGEN REPORT: IRS Head Confirms Investigators Have Found Backup Tapes

Fox News reports: July 23, 2014: IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testifies before a House oversight subcommittee hearing in Washington.AP
The head of the IRS confirmed Wednesday that investigators looking into missing emails from ex-agency official Lois Lerner have found and are reviewing "backup tapes" — despite earlier IRS claims that the tapes had been recycled.
"It is unbelievable that we cannot get a simple, straight answer from the IRS about this hard drive."
— House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, testifying before a House oversight subcommittee, stressed that he does not know "how they found them" or "whether there's anything on them or not." But he said the inspector general's office advised him the investigators are reviewing tapes to see if they contain any "recoverable" material.
The revelation is significant because the IRS claimed, when the agency first told Congress about the missing emails, that backup tapes "no longer exist because they have been recycled."
It is unclear whether the tapes in IG custody contain any Lerner emails, but Koskinen said investigators are now checking. Read the rest of this entry »

Making a Mockery
Via The American Spectator, Enemy Central names its EOW – Enemy of the Week:
Call John Koskinen a late bloomer. According to records on our hard drive before we crashed it, he is 74 years old, thirty-three days short of the magical 75. Before he caught Paul Ryan's attention, we had never heard of him. Now he's unanimous victor in the EOW sweepstakes. Such insolence, such arrogance, such contempt for all humanity we had not seen in a public official since the last time we paid attention to those who escaped from the losing side of World War II to some friendly dictatorship in the southern parts of South America and got caught. Is it any surprise that the Koskinen soccer stadium at Duke University is named after him? Wonder where he picked up his expertise in soccer?
"So the official line must remain: Computers crash, dogs eat homework, and Republicans have no standing to complain about anything or even be in politics"
What about his lowly competition this week? The maestros at Politico have hailed our president's becoming "mocker-in-chief on climate change skeptics." Only problem is we have yet to hear him play mocker-in-chief vis-à-vis, say, V.V. Putin, ISIS, Iran, cholera at the border, and the leader responsible for our nation's GDP shrinking by 2.9 percent last quarter. No fair, this last charge? It was, after all, a very cold winter. Climate changed in every wrong way. Oh, well, no need, Mr. Prez, to apologize to those you have mocked. We expect the honorable Mr. Koskinen will jump at the chance to do the job for you.

SHOCKER: Networks Finally Notice IRS Missing E-Mail Scandal, Hearings
Posted: June 24, 2014 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Mediasphere, U.S. News | Tags: Brian Williams, Internal Revenue Service, IRS, John Koskinen, Koskinen, NANCY CORDES, Paul Ryan, White House | Leave a comment
For Media Research Center, Matthew Balan reports: The Big Three networks' Friday evening newscasts finally noticed the latest development in the IRS scandal (they omitted it on Thursday), after Rep. Paul Ryan grilled Commissioner John Koskinen earlier in the day. It was the first ABC, CBS or NBC evening newscast mention of the IRS since news of the missing e-mail broke a week earlier.
Williams set aside a minute and 13 seconds of air time on NBC Nightly News to the latest on the IRS scandal
[Also see: Trust In News Media At All-Time Low]
ABC's David Muir spotlighted "the outrage…involving the IRS claiming to have lost thousands of crucial documents – lawmakers asking, how can the tax man be let off the hook for losing documents, while ordinary taxpayers would never get away with that?"
NBC's Brian Williams noted how Koskinen claimed that the IRS "lost evidence in the investigation into how they handled conservative political groups…and given how long the IRS holds on to things like our tax returns, some members of Congress just aren't buying it." CBS's Nancy Cordes zeroed in on congressional Democrats' attack on their Republican colleagues over the scandal – something that ABC and NBC didn't do: [MP3 audio available here; video below]
NANCY CORDES: Republicans have long suggested Lerner was urged by the White House to hold up applications for tax-exempt status from conservative groups before the 2012 elections. Democrats, like Lloyd Doggett of Texas, mocked that as just another conspiracy theory.

'We have a problem with you, and you have a problem maintaining your credibility': House Republicans Grill IRS Commissioner as they Subpoena White House Lawyer

No apologies: In a separate congressional hearing on Friday, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen insisted the loss of Lerner's emails was due to an oddly timed glitch
For Mail Online, David Martosko reports: Republicans dropped a hammer on IRS Commissioner John Koskinen during a testy hearing covering the disappearance of emails tied to the agency's tea party targeting scandal.
"You worked to cover up the fact they were missing and only came forward to fess up on a Friday afternoon after you had been caught red-handed."
The emails, covering the period January 2009 to April 2011, belonged to embattled former official Lois Lerner and could shed light on whether an expansive scheme to single out conservative groups for special scrutiny was guided by members of Congress or administration officials outside the IRS.
'The committee requested all of Lois Lerner's emails over a year ago,' said House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa. 'And we subpoenaed the emails in August 2013 and again in February 2014. … You worked to cover up the fact they were missing and only came forward to fess up on a Friday afternoon after you had been caught red-handed.'
'You personally did not cause the targeting,' he told Koskinen, referring to the tea party scandal. 'You personally did not destroy the emails. But by your actions and your deception, you now own this scandal.'
'We have a problem with you,' Issa sniped, 'and you have a problem maintaining your credibility.'
Rep. Darrell Issa slammed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen: 'We have a problem with you, and you have a problem maintaining your credibility'
Monday's unusual evening hearing came as the result of a subpoena, and will continue Tuesday morning with a command performance from another Obama administration official.
Issa subpoenaed White House lawyer Jennifer O'Connor on Monday afternoon. He had invited her on Thursday to testify during the Tuesday session, but on Monday afternoon White House Counsel W. Neil Egglestonwrote Issa to say his underling would not appear.
Koskinen fended off accusations Monday night that he lied to Congress on March 26 when he promised the IRS would turn over all of Lerner's emails
Before O'Connor's promotion to the White House Counsel's office, she was counsel to then-Acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel.
Just ten days ago the IRS informed congressional investigators that a hard drive crash had destroyed 28 months of emails to and from Lerner, who led the IRS's office in charge of vetting and policing tax-exempt nonprofit groups. Read the rest of this entry »

Proposed IRS Rule Change Fractures the Left

The revised regulations would classify social-welfare groups' activities as political.
NRO's Eliana Johnson writes: The proposed Internal Revenue Service regulations governing political activity by nonprofits that have united the Right in opposition are now fracturing the Left.
While Senate Republicans, following the lead of their House colleagues, are backing a bill to delay the rules for a year, and the protests of right-leaning nonprofit groups, big and small, are reaching fever pitch, Democratic politicians who are urging the IRS to move forward with the regulations have found themselves at odds with some of their largest constituencies, chief among them the country's labor unions.
The proposed changes, which were unveiled in late November, would classify much of the day-to-day activity of 501(c)(4) social-welfare groups, including voter education and registration, as political, thereby endangering their tax-exempt status. They would also prohibit public communication 60 days before a general election or 30 days before a primary election that identifies a political candidate — that is, nearly every advertisement aired by groups such as the conservative Americans for Prosperity or the liberal League of Conservation Voters — during the period when they are most effective.

Email: IRS's Lerner, Treasury Department Secretly Drafted Rules to Restrict Nonprofits
Posted: February 5, 2014 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Health and Social Issues, Law & Justice, U.S. News | Tags: Daily Caller, Dave Camp, Internal Revenue Service, IRS, John Koskinen, Twitter, United States Department of the Treasury, United States House Committee on Ways and Means | 1 Comment
The Daily Caller's Patrick Howley reports: The Obama administration's Treasury Department and former IRS official Lois Lerner conspired to draft new 501(c)(4) regulations to restrict the activity of conservative groups in a way that would not be disclosed publicly, according to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
The Treasury Department and Lerner started devising the new rules "off-plan," meaning that their plans would not be published on the public schedule. They planned the new rules in 2012, while the IRS targeting of conservative groups was in full swing, and not after the scandal broke in order to clarify regulations as the administration has suggested.
The rules place would place much more stringent controls on what would be considered political activity by the IRS, effectively limiting the standard practices of a wide array of non-profit groups.

Q: How Should I read CSV By Grouping Column of Same Value I have a task to read a CSV file then do some logic and then create a JSON for that.
I am kind of stuck with required logic before creating JSON, I need to set Max PR VALUE against the SK as PR for all the same SK's.
My Requirement:
CSV:
SK,VR,ST,PR
1000,1000-Q1,10,187
1000,1000-Q2,20,925  // MAX PR against SK
1001,1001-Q1,10,112
1001,1001-Q2,30,120  // MAX PR against SK

Note: Max PR against SK will always be in the last row of its SK.
I have to read CSV here and need to write JSON data as below :
[
   {
      "SK": "1000",
      "VR": "1000-Q1",
      "ST": "10",
      "PR": "925"
   },
   {
      "SK": "1000",
      "VR": "1000-Q2",
      "ST": "20",
      "PR": "925"
   },
   {
      "SK": "1001",
      "VR": "1001-Q1",
      "ST": "10",
      "PR": "120"
   },
   {
      "SK": "1001",
      "VR": "1001-Q2",
      "ST": "30",
      "PR": "120"
   }
]

Edit:
Code
       File input = new File("input.csv");
       File output = new File("output.json");
       CsvSchema csvSchema = CsvSchema.builder().setUseHeader(true).build();
       CsvMapper csvMapper = new CsvMapper();

       // Read data from CSV file
       List<Object> readAll = csvMapper.readerFor(Map.class).with(csvSchema).readValues(input).readAll();

       ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

       // Write JSON formated data to output.json file
       mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValue(output, readAll);

       // Write JSON formated data to stdout
       System.out.println(mapper.writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(readAll));

A: One Approach would be to first group your CSV Records per SK
        String[] HEADERS = { "SK","VR","ST","PR"};

        Reader in = new FileReader("mycsvfile.csv");
        Iterable<CSVRecord> records = CSVFormat.DEFAULT
          .withHeader(HEADERS)
          .withFirstRecordAsHeader()
          .parse(in);

        // Group the records by  SK
     Map<String, List<CSVRecord>> recordListBySK =   StreamSupport
            .stream(records.spliterator(), false).
            collect(Collectors.groupingBy(record -> record.get("SK")));

Then you need to add another a Mapping this time, which keeps the MAX-PR per
each Sk
 Map<String, Integer> skMaxMap =  recordListBySK
    .entrySet()
    .stream()
    .collect(Collectors
                .toMap( e -> e.getKey(),
                        e -> e.getValue()
                              .stream()
                              .mapToInt(v -> Integer.parseInt(v.get("PR")))
                              .max()
                              .getAsInt()
                      )
            );

Now you simply build you json Sk list like this:
 // Building the new sk (JSON ) objects
 List<NewSk> newSkList = new ArrayList<>();
 recordListBySK
    .values()
    .stream()
    .flatMap(v -> v.stream())
    .forEach(csvRecord -> {
         NewSk newSk = new NewSk(csvRecord.get("SK"),
                                csvRecord.get("VR"),
                                csvRecord.get("ST"),
                                skMaxMap.get(csvRecord.get("SK"))
                                );
         newSkList.add(newSk);
    });

if you try to print them out:
newSkList.forEach(sk -> {
         System.out.print(" "+sk.getSk());
         System.out.print(" "+sk.getVr());
         System.out.print(" "+sk.getSt());
         System.out.print(" "+sk.getPr());
         System.out.println(" ");
     });

you'll get this
 1001 1001-Q1 10 120

A: First, I've made a pojo to manipulate easily data :
public class Model {
    private final int sk;
    private final String vr;
    private final int st;
    private final int pr;

    public Model(int sk, String vr, int st, int pr) {
        this.sk = sk;
        this.vr = vr;
        this.st = st;
        this.pr = pr;
    }

    public int getSk() { return sk; }
    public String getVr() { return vr; }
    public int getSt() { return st; }
    public int getPr() { return pr; }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Model{" +
                "sk=" + sk +
                ", vr='" + vr + '\'' +
                ", st=" + st +
                ", pr=" + pr +
                '}';
    }
}

After, with Java 8 streaming you can do chat you want :
List<Model> models = new ArrayList<>();
models.add(new Model(1000, "1000-Q1", 10, 187));
models.add(new Model(1000, "1000-Q2", 10, 925));
models.add(new Model(1001, "1001-Q1", 10, 112));
models.add(new Model(1001, "1001-Q2", 30, 120));

List<Model> collect = models.stream()
    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Model::getSk))
    .entrySet()
    .stream()
    .flatMap(
        v -> {
            int max = v.getValue()
                .stream()
                .map(m -> m.getPr())
                .reduce((a, b) -> Math.max(a, b))
                .get();
            return v.getValue().stream()
                .map(m -> new Model(m.getSk(), m.getVr(), m.getSt(), max));
        }
    )
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

System.out.println(collect);

Result:
[
    {sk=1000, vr='1000-Q1', st=10, pr=925},
    {sk=1000, vr='1000-Q2', st=10, pr=925},

Calendar Winter is Near
By: Rebecca Schuld Facebook | Twitter
Posted: Dec 9, 2014 12:47 PM CDT | Updated: Dec 9, 2014 1:22 PM CDT
By about the third week of November once the cold settled in, I don't know about you, but it felt like I got dropped off at the North Pole. Speaking of which, the North Pole is almost at its farthest point away from the sun and that means calendar winter is just around the corner! Well, now that our bodies have had time to adjust to the cold, December's weather hasn't felt all that bad so far. Of course, there's still plenty of winter left, and plenty of dark too. As we approach calendar winter, known as the Winter Solstice, we'll see our shortest day of the year. The Winter Solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees pointing directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere. By contrast the North Pole is tilted furthest away from the sun. This tilt gives us short days and long nights. Sunrise will occur at 7:20am with sunset at 4:20pm giving us day length of 8 hours 59 minutes and 53 seconds. It could be worse. North of the Arctic Circle towards the North Pole, there is no daylight at all during this time of the year. If you're like me, less sunlight can be a bummer and with the milder weather in the headlines, it's given me a little hope and optimism to look ahead at some of the positive figures as we cross over into winter. Our sunset time this evening is actually sooner than on the actual solstice. Tonight's sunset is at 4:17pm. Starting on the 15th, our sunset times will begin to occur later although we'll continue to shave off a few minutes from the sunrise through the end of the month.
In terms of the forecast, if you enjoy milder temps and keeping the shovel in the back of the garage, there's good news there too! Long range forecasts continue to highlight high probabilities of warmer than normal temperatures, especially here across Wisconsin. Here's the latest outlook from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center:
There's not much in the way of active weather coming at us over the next couple of weeks either. As it looks now, we have a few minor disturbances that will affect our area, but most of that will come in the form of light rain. Beyond that, there may be hope for some snow just in time for Christmas. One forecast model is showing some snow possible on the 23nd and 24th of the month. If that holds true we may have a white Christmas!

Fortunato Aguirre Luquin (Arellano, Navarra, 12 de julio de 1893 - Tajonar, Navarra, 29 de septiembre de 1936) fue un político español de orientación nacionalista vasca.

Biografía
Fue uno de los fundadores del CA Osasuna, alcalde de Estella por el Partido Nacionalista Vasco y miembro del Napar Buru Batzar, la junta directiva del PNV en Navarra, presidida entonces por José Agerre. También fue el fundador de la ikastola de Estella.

Presidió el encuentro de alcaldes nacionalistas vascos de las provincias vasconavarras en Estella donde se elaboró el Estatuto de Estella de 1931.

En los meses anteriores a la sublevación militar que daría origen a la Guerra Civil tuvo conocimiento de las andanzas del gobernador militar de Navarra, el general Mola, e incluso de que en el monasterio de Iranzu había escondido un arsenal de armas y se llevaban a cabo reuniones entre los conspiradores, de lo cual avisó repetidamente al Gobierno de la República. También tuvo conocimiento de la reunión que, el 16 de julio de 1936, tuvo lugar en el monasterio de Irache entre el general Mola y el general Batet, general en jefe de la VI División Orgánica de Burgos, por iniciativa de este último, en la que trató de averiguar si Mola estaba implicado en la conspiración que se estaba preparando e incluso le pidió su palabra de honor de que no iba a sublevarse. Aguirre llegaría a hablar por teléfono con el presidente del Gobierno, Santiago Casares Quiroga, el cual le ordenó que no hiciese nada. Poco después tuvo lugar el levantamiento, siendo apresado el mismo 18 de julio por los sublevados, conducido hasta las cercanías de Pamplona y asesinado junto a los muros del cementerio de Tajonar en el amanecer del 29 de septiembre de 1936.

Su personaje apareció en la película "El Sueño de Tío Sebas".

Q: Python: type() gives blank result What does it mean when I do
print type(foo)

and get absolutely nothing?
foo is the response from an eBay REST search query, and it's supposed to be XML according to the eBay docs.  When I
print foo

I get stuff -- a long string of values about ebay items all butted-up against one another.

A: It means type is a function or other callable object that returns an empty string. Since the built-in function doesn't do that, you have most likely called another function type(). Change the name of that function to something else. type_() is good. Or _type(), or somethingtype().

Sleepwalker | Review
April 22, 2018 • Classic Albums • The Kinks
The Kinks 'Sleepwalker' Arista Records 1977
The Kinks were well into their career by 1977 long enough that the English punks were calling them boring old farts!
Ironic because 'You Really Got Me' recorded by The Kinks in '64 is arguably a template for the Punk sound. As history shows The Kinks survived many musical eras - Psychedelia, Heavy Rock, Prog, Punk and New Wave – and continued to deliver fine albums well into the '80s.
The Kinks celebrated their 50th anniversary a couple of years back but sadly never officially reformed for the occasion. Guitarist Dave Davies and younger brother to Ray was recovering from a stroke and Ray was busy with his solo career.
However the legacy of The Kinks lives on with fans and musicologists alike regarding them as one of the most influential bands of all time.
A tribute band made up of ex-Kinks sidemen (Mick Avory, Dave Clark, John Dalton, John Gosling, Ian Gibbons, Jim Rodford) aptly named The Kast Off Kinks, is currently working around England doing charity gigs. And to show there's no bad blood, they've been joined on stage by Ray and Dave on several occasions.
Dave is well again and currently gigging on the east coast of the States. And the perennial Ray is as active as ever writing, recording and performing.
Sleepwalker, released in 1977 was The Kinks' first album on US based Arista Records. Arista was the brainchild of producer-mogul Clive Davis (check out the film documentary on Clive - very enlightening).
The relationship with Arista for the Kinks reignited their career and finally gave them some commercial success in the States after having already delivered 18 albums and over 20 hit singles in the UK, including Kinks Klassics such as the aforementioned 'You Really Got Me', 'All of the Day and all of the Night', 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion', 'Sunny Afternoon', 'Waterloo Sunset' and 'Lola'.
This belated recognition is bittersweet considering the musician's union had banned them from performing in the States for four years in the 60's. According to Ray this was due to a punch up at a TV studio where some anti-English comments were made.
Sleepwalker also signaled the end of the Kinks' conceptual album run, It was a fresh approach from Ray.
Starting with 'Life on the Road' - and by that stage The Kinks knew plenty about that - with lyrics seeming to suggest it's about a young Ray leaving home to wander the streets of London.
After a gentle intro Dave gets the band into gear with some typical Kinks riffing then it shifts from a fast-paced rocker to a lamenting ballad. One of Ray's great skills as a songwriter is to tell a story and be musically engaging within the confines of a 3-4 minute pop song.
Next is 'Mr Big Man' where a church-like organ intro by John Gosling heralds the Dave Davies signature guitar riffing. Dave stretches the notes while Ray could well be singing about some of the record company execs he dealt with, harking back to 'Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround' perhaps?
"Now I bet you're losin' count, of the people that you used,
But Now we're gonna see the vicious side of you"
The title track 'Sleepwalker' continues the formula with a solid guitar riff but employs clever use of stereo production. Using alternate verses, Ray's vocals come from the left channel for one verse and the right for the other.
Nothing new you might think, yet when the song's tempo changes and Gosling's piano is the only backing it has a very pleasant impact on the ears.
Not hard to guess who the next song 'Brother' is about. The album is loaded with power ballads and this is surely one of the most poignant.
"The World's Goin Crazy and nobody gives a damn anymore"
Ray's conservative side shows through as it famously did on the classic 'The Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society' release from '68.
The track's hymn-like chorus is reinforced by a fine solo from Dave. His guitar work on Sleepwalker is reminiscent of their previous album 'Schoolboys In Disgrace' where his playing was first class throughout.
After the emotional overload of 'Brother' its time to get rocking with 'Juke Box Music' a fun song with some bongos and another excellent Dave riff to kick it off. But Ray's lyric hints at girl trouble.
"It's all because of that music
That we're slowly driftin' apart.
But it's only there to dance to,
So you shouldn't take it to heart."
The song has an excellent instrumental finish with a crescendo of acoustic guitars layered by staccato guitar from Dave.
Next is 'Sleepless Night' penned and sung by Dave. Its obvious here Dave's vocals compliment Ray's perfectly when they sing in chorus, but solo vocals are not Dave's instrument, not having the expression or tone of big brother Ray.
Dave's woes are about a female neighbor who goes full throttle on lovemaking at midnight. The trouble for Dave is that it used to be with him but now it's with someone else.
'Stormy Sky' is a lazy paced ballad sung by Ray with a melancholy emphasis.
My album favourite 'Full Moon' is the next track. Everything about this song is evocative and moving - the way its delivered and the message are both perfect.
Ray Davies is at his song writing best as he alludes to periodic nocturnal disturbances.
"Haven't you noticed a kind of madness in my eyes?
It's only me, dear, in my midnight disguise.
Pay no attention if I crawl across the room.
It's just another full moon"
When Ray bursts out mid song with "full moon sits there like a great white balloon" it will give you the shivers.
The Closing track 'Life Goes On' has a helping of black humor, with a cynical treatment of suicide.
"I turned on the gas, but I soon realized,
I hadn't settled my bill so they cut off my supply,
No matter how I try it seems I'm too young to die"
The CD release of Sleepwalker from the late '90s contains 5 extra songs. 'Artificial Light', 'Prince of the Punks' and 'The Poseur' (which was initially intended to be the album's title), plus 2 versions of 'On The Outside', one from 1977 and one a later 1994 mix.
If you think Ray was writing great songs back then, have a listen to 'Americana', his latest album done with the excellent Jayhawks backing. Follow up with the book of the same title.
Sadly The Kinks bass player of 18 years Jim Rodford died while gigging in Florida in January this year.

The Devil's Paintbrush
Tonight I'd like to tell you the tale of one of histories great inventors. So great in fact... that Thomas Eddison paid him to move to Europe and stop working on new designs.
Tonight... we're going to talk about Hyram Stevens Maxim... and what happened after Eddison made him that deal.
One never knows how even the most flippant remarks may effect world history. There is no greater example... than this one.
While he was in Europe Hyram was visited by an old friend from America. His friend said to him... "Look.. drop all this chemistry nonsense. If you want to make real money... give the Europeans something to cut each other's throats with."
Flippant as it may seem... that statement rocked Maxim to his core.
By 1886 he had his first working prototype. It was accurate. It was ultimately reliable... and at a time when the finest soldiers in the world could fire 26 rounds per minute with a bolt action rifle... you could put a moron behind this weapon and tell him to pull the trigger... and fire a symbolic 666 rounds per minute.
Maxim invented the worlds first machine gun... in 1886. When americans were still using Gatlin Guns.

In the digital economy, as brands race to engage with influencers to enhance their consumer outreach, they are likely dealing with a heavy influx of fake followers of their esteemed influencers.
A report by Points North Group that measures influencer marketing reveals that up to 20% influencer followers are likely fraud. Brands that top the list with most fake followers amongst their paid influencers are Ritz-Carlton with 78%, L'Occitane with 39% and Pampers with 32%, among others.
Experts say this issue of fakes is rampant. "It is a widespread and well-practised habit across the influencer network. I have come across multiple influencers using fake followers," says Sahil Siddiqui, AVP, creative strategy, WATConsult, a digital and social media agency.
But fake followers can wreck havoc. "Most brand-influencer relations are monetary. The money is real. Any relation where the money is real but the product is not is called a fraud," says Siddiqui. Estimates show that of the roughly 15% digital marketing budget, around 5% is spent purely on influencer marketing by brands.
One of the multiple ways in which fakes damage a brand is by manipulating the choice of a consumer and influencing them without being authentic, says Sahil Chopra, CEO and founder, iCubesWire, a digital marketing firm.
Experts say another method of identifying fakes is to look for spikes in the growth of influencer followers and evaluate if there's been any authentic reason for the sudden spikes. "Similarly, a new profile that has suddenly got a lot of followers, but has limited posts or accounts that have a high following to follower ratio. Our deep data analysis can help identify influencers most relevant to a brand. We can refer to engagement rates, social media value, sentiment analysis, check for rival brands mentioned, etc.," says Swarup.

Where: This change applies to orgs with Lightning components in Lightning Experience, Salesforce Classic, and all versions of the mobile app.
Who: Any Salesforce user can enable debug mode for themselves. Salesforce admins and developers with access to Lightning components can enable debug mode as needed for any user in their org for debugging tasks.
In previous releases, debug mode was an org-wide setting. If you wanted to troubleshoot a problem for one user, the whole org needed to run in debug mode. For this reason, we recommended using debug mode only in Developer Edition and sandbox orgs.
In this release, you can enable debug mode for individual users, without affecting the performance of Salesforce for other users of your org. This change lets you debug problems that only appear in your production environment, without worrying that other users will complain, or even notice.
How: To enable debug mode for users in your org, go to the new Debug Mode Users page in Setup. Find the relevant users in the list, check the box next to their name, and click Enable. To turn debugging off, click Disable.


Are there any tranquilizers for cats that will actually work, or are medications the only answer.
The answer to this is a resounding yes as there are several very good natural calming agents for cats, but all of them are not without some controversy.
However, before you make a decision of which of the natural treatments may work the best for you, it is very helpful to understand exactly what the signs as well as the causes of anxiety in cats are.
The first step in selecting which of the tranquilizers for cats may work the best for your situation, it is helpful to understand the warning signs of anxiety.
If you are reading this article you do not have to be convinced that cats can suffer from anxiety attacks, as you are witnessing them firsthand.
The only real way that you can begin to select any form of tranquilizer, is to be fully tuned into the warning signs.
They will begin to surface with the anxiety.
The reason for this is very important.
If you do not know what to look for and intervene as soon as you can, it will not only affect your cat's overall health, it may begin to affect yours as well.
However, with that being said, it is also very important to note that there is no single set of signs that you can watch for as all cats will show slightly different symptoms.
As a cat lover, the uniqueness of their personalities is why you love them, but in this case, it can make identifying the actual signs a bit more difficult.
By far and away the common signs of anxiety in cats are very sudden and excessive bouts of hyper-vocalizing.
In fact, they can become so severe that you will think that there is something terribly wrong with your cat and to them there is; they feel very anxious.
Changes in their appetite as well as their weight are the next set of common symptoms and they are generally the result of changes in the way they eliminate.
In the vast majority of cases this will be a very sudden pattern of urinating outside of their litter box that will be followed by some type of compulsive behavior, including excessive grooming.
Sudden bouts of aggression as well as overall health changes are also real warning signs, as is depression.
Depression in dogs is very hard to identify, but in cats it will be very noticeable as your cat will suddenly start to become lethargic.
However, other than hyper-vocalizing, the most telling of all the signs will be bouts of restlessness that will very quickly lead to destructive behaviors.
This will include scratching anything in site including your best furniture.
If the anxiety is severe enough, you may also begin to notice your cat trembling, which should always be treated very seriously.
The next step in determining which of the natural tranquilizers for cats may be the best for your situation is to determine, if you can, the actual cause.
Although this may be easier said than done, it is not impossible.
Long periods of separation from you and your family is generally the leading cause, as well as boredom form the lack of any type of regular exercise or play time.
Fear of loud noises including thunder and fireworks are also potential causes, as well as any type of change in their normal routine.
Cats by nature are extremely regimented, and if you suddenly change something in their routine, this can very easily trigger the anxiety.
Another potential cause may be substandard living conditions such as being cramped in small spaces for too long or in large catteries.
The loss of someone in your family is yet another potential cause, as well as a longtime companion including a dog.
If your cat has some type of developing disease or condition and you are not aware of it, the anxiety that they are showing is actually a real warning sign that they may be in a lot of pain.
Cats by their nature are also very good at hiding pain, so do not overlook this as a potential cause.
In determining which one of the following tranquilizers for cats may be the best option for you, it is also helpful to understand some of the pitfalls of them even if they are natural.
Any form of tranquilizer has the potential of becoming addictive, although this can easily be controlled.
The most popular as well as the most common of the tranquilizers for cats is Bach Flower Essences.
This was first introduced in the mid 1930's by Dr. Edward Bach and is actually a combination of extracts from a variety of plants.
The most commonly used of this grouping is referred to as the "rescue remedy" and is made of five different flowers.
They include Impatiens, Clematis, Rock rose, Star of Bethlehem, as well as Cherry plum, and there is a lot of owner consensus that this combination can be extremely effective.
However, it must be noted that that the medical community is still not fully sold on this formulation, as there have been clinical studies that demonstrated that placebos were just as effective.
But it is also important to understand that the medical community is just finally beginning to recognize most types of herbal treatments.
However, there is one thing that is indisputable about the "rescue remedy" as the most popular of the tranquilizers for cats.
Cat owners swear by them buy an overwhelming 7 out of 10 consensus of success.
Next on the list of the tranquilizers for cats is an herb called "Valerian" that is perhaps best known for what it does for humans as well as dogs.
Although it is considered to be extremely effective at reducing muscle pain through the process of relaxing the muscles in humans and dogs, it does not do this for cats.
Instead, for reasons still not fully understood, it causes what some would consider a complete state of euphoria, making it very effective as a tranquilizer.
However this too is a bit controversial as some studies have shown it to be one of the most effective of the tranquilizers for cats, while other have shown it to be no more effective than catnip.
If your cat has any type of a liver condition, it may not be safe to use. St Johns Wort is another possible tranquilizer, but there is little research to back this claim.
There is one other form of tranquilizers for cats that you may also want to consider called Pheromones sprays, and the most common of these is Feliway.
Feliway is believed to have a very strong calming effect on cats and is considered to be extremely effective at helping them to adapting to new surroundings.
They will also help in adjusting to the loss of a family member or a longtime companion.
Tranquilizers for cats is still somewhat of a controversial subject.
However if you are struggling with any type of anxiety in your cat, they may be worth a try as there are millions of cat owners that swear by them, and they can't all be wrong.

Nevada No. 5 in the nation for suicide rate; doctors train to spot signs
As Nevada's suicide rate has jumped to No. 5 in the nation and to its highest level since the late 1990s, the state's doctors are being asked to be the frontline in recognizing suicidal tendencies of their patients and get them help before they take their lives.
BY BUCK WARGO SPECIAL TO BUSINESS OF MEDICINE
Updated February 14, 2018 - 5:00 am
Dr. Lesley Dickson, executive director of the Nevada Psychiatric Association, addresses more than 90 doctors, medical residents and medical students in a presentation called "Suicide Prevention: How to Save a Life" on Jan. 23.
The effort is part of a state law passed in 2017 requiring physicians in all specialties to receive two hours of training on suicide prevention as a way to deal with the epidemic. The training for Southern Nevada started on Jan. 23 when Dr. Lesley Dickson, executive director of the Nevada Psychiatric Association addressed more than 90 doctors, medical residents and medical students in a presentation called "Suicide Prevention: How to Save a Life."
Dickson's session consisted of several hypothetical situations doctors may encounter when dealing with suicidal individuals, as well as discussions around possible outcomes and best practices.
"Interventions by mental health professionals are very important, but many suicidal individuals never see a therapist," Dickson said. "It's important that all people who interact with a suicidal person know how to help."
Nevada had 650 suicides — just under two a day — and a suicide rate of 22.1 per 100,000, in the latest numbers from the American Association of Suicidology. That's up from 2015's 558 deaths and 19.3 rate per 100,000 when Nevada was ranked 11th. The state is typically in the top 10, and the 2016 numbers were Nevada's highest rate since it was 23 per 100,000 in 1997.
In comparison, there were 44,965 suicides in the U.S. in 2016, the 10th most common cause of death. There were 122.9 suicides a day or 13.9 for every 100,000 people.
Alaska is ranked No. 1, followed by Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico. Nevada and Colorado are ranked fifth, followed by Oklahoma, Idaho and Utah. West Virginia is 10th and the only state outside the West
Nevada's numbers are striking. It's the eighth leading cause of death overall. For those ages 10 to 34, it's the second leading cause of death. The more promising figure is Nevada is ranked 25th in suicide rate for those 15 to 24 at 14.9 per 100,000.
For those 65 to 85, Nevada, however, jumped to have the highest suicide for its elderly population at a rate at 37.6 per 100,000 in 2016. It was No. 4 in 2015 with 26.1.
Dickson said a high and rising suicide rate in Nevada and other Mountain West states has been an ongoing trend. One reason is social isolation in that people feel, especially if they are transients and don't have a lot of ties to a community, she said. Older residents feel isolated if most of their family has passed away or if they have money problems, Dickson said.
Since half of suicides are committed by firearms, Dickson said the higher prevalence of guns in Mountain West states contributes to a higher rate. Some 30 percent of suicides are done by suffocation and about 15 percent from overdoses.
Doctors can make a difference, Dickson said. That's the importance of the continuing education sessions in letting them know how they can help.
"It's a myth that most suicidal people have made up their minds that they really want to die," Dickson said. "Most suicidal people desperately want to live, and many will seek help immediately after attempting to harm themselves. Even people who jumped off the Golden State Bridge and survived are glad they survived despite the injuries they may have sustained."
The program was sponsored by the Clark County Medical Society which gives its 1,500 members continuing education in addition to advocacy.
"Dr. Dickson's presentation brought a lot of value to the conversation around suicide prevention, and how medical professionals should navigate this difficult topic," said Alexandra Silver, executive director of the Clark County Medical Society.
When it comes to suicide attempts, one in four people deliberated about it in less than five minutes, Dickson said. Nine in 10 deliberated for less than one day.
"Intervention by mental health experts is very important because many suicidal individuals never see a therapist," Dickson said. "It's important all people who interact with a suicidal person know how to help."
Some 70 percent of elderly people who have committed suicide saw a primary care doctor within a month of their act, Dickson said. Only 1 in six doctors detected the looming act, she said.
Because health care workers are highly likely to see people who are at risk for suicide, Dickson said it's important they develop a trusting relationship with the patient, observe changes in mood and behavior, and let patients know they are dealing with depression or some other mental health concern that can be treated.
"Suicidal people usually send strong warnings signs," Dickson said. "Warnings are changes in people's behavior that are considered out of character."
There are other signs for family and friends to watch such as if someone is sleep-deprived or has lost their appetite, Dickson said. They can benefit from treatment.
"If people have fears, they should definitely talk to the person and say you're concerned about how they're feeling and what they're saying," Dickson said. "You can tell them we can take you to get some help. If you think it's imminent take them to the emergency room but move in that direction to get them counseling."
Loved ones should ask questions of those preparing a will, buying a burial plot or giving away possessions to make sure they aren't considering suicide. When someone does kill themselves, families don't want to hear it, she said.
"Many don't want to believe it and be stigmatized and look for other explanations," Dickson said. "We're caught up in our own world that we're missing clues from folks around us."
Dickson said men are three times more likely to die of a suicide attempt then women because men use more lethal force such as a firearm. Women attempt suicides three time more than men and overdoses are their preferred option, she said.
The peak ages for men are 25 to 44 and 65 and older. It's 45 to 64 for women, Dickson said. Whites are more likely to kill themselves than blacks.
Those 30 and younger who kill themselves are more likely to have substance abuse disorders and anti-social behavior. Those 30 and older are more likely to have a mood disorder.
Nationwide, males age 15 to 19 are more likely to kill themselves then women of the same age, but that rate is rising. The male rate peaked about 25 years ago.
"The problem is much more common than people think because for every completed youth suicide, there's an estimated attempt by 20 other youths," Dickson said.
Suicides among those 15 to 24 are triggered by depression, drug use and teens prone to bullying and peer pressure. Suicides can occur in clusters and media portrayals can increase rates, she said.
Some 90 percent of people who have killed themselves had major psychiatric disorders. Half had a mood disorder and others had problems with substance abuse, Dickson said. Five percent had a serious physical illness. It is higher with patients with traumatic brain injuries, epilepsy, MS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, AIDS and cancer.
It's runs in the family, and is likely genetic, Dickson said. People turn to suicide as an act of desperation and feeling of hopelessness. Two-thirds communicate their distress and those who take their life are more likely to be those who are isolated socially with no one to turn to, she said. About 30 percent of those who commit suicide have a history of attempts and 42 percent of suicides occur within six months of an attempt. Some 2 percent a year of those who have attempted suicide compete the act.
Half of alcoholics who killed themselves had a relationship loss in the previous year. About one in five who commit suicide leave a note but it's rarely explanatory, she said. Many of those who are successfully have a plan in which they aren't detected, she said.
Even doctors are at risk with 300 to 400, or one a day committing suicide, Dickson said.

The most serious prospective side effect brought on by Xarelto is serious internal bleeding that will outcome in death. Presently, there isn't any identified remedy to reverse the type of internal bleeding brought on by Xarelto.
Another issue with xarelto with alcohol - though less-publicized than its bleeding complications – is its link to a greater occurrence of wound infections following surgery for total hip or knee replacements. Relkin said the medication increases wound leakage and infection risk by more than 10 times. The complication often sends patients back in for more surgery.
Dealing with health difficulties brought on by a poor drug is emotional and draining, and it affects the whole loved ones. Mounting medical bills wreak havoc on a family's finances. Anxiety, aggravation and depression add up. In the case of Xarelto, some households have also had to deal with funeral costs for lost loved ones. At times filing a lawsuit will be the only approach to pay off medical bills - and to safe compensation for discomfort and suffering. Many individuals also turn to the legal system to hold drug businesses accountable and to send them a message.
Should you or a loved one| suffered significant bleeding issues although taking Xarelto, our attorneys would ike to hear from you. The statute of limitations bars claims not brought within the quick time period of the injury, get in touch with us today for a free of charge consultation on your achievable legal options. We are going to assessment your experience and tell you whether you qualify for compensation.

The encaustic tiles in St. Stephen's Hall have undergone a programme of conservation as part of an overall plan to repair the tile floors throughout the Palace of Westminster. Encaustic tiles are the patterned, fired clay tiles which are used on the Principal Floor of the Gothic Revival building and date from 1846 to 1852, with later repairs. The technique, in which a pattern is baked into the tile rather than added later beneath glaze, was much used in medieval times and can be seen close by in the Chapter House at Westminster Abbey. The technique was lost during the Reformation and revived early in the 19th century.
During the 1840's Charles Barry, the architect for the new Palace of Westminster designated that the hallways and corridors of the new building should be covered in tiles. The pottery manufacturer Hebert Minton of Stoke-on-Trent developed the process of making them from an earlier patent. Encouraged by Augustus Welby Pugin, the designer of the decorative detail within the new building, Minton produced thousands of tiles throughout the public areas. The encaustic tile was a significant part of the development of the British ceramic industry and they became very popular in domestic architecture following their use at the Houses of Parliament.
The complex series of new tiles in St Stephen's Hall were developed and reproduced by Craven Dunnill Jackfield Ltd., near Ironbridge in Shropshire and are being laid by DBR Ltd; both firms are specialists for the conservation of historic buildings. The works in the Palace of Westminster are carried out by skilled stone masons, conservators, mortar specialists and stone cleaners.
Encaustic tiles have a much greater life expectancy than other ceramic tiles, as the pattern remains visible for a longer period of time, but heavy use means that some of the tiles in the Palace have worn down and need to be replaced. Tiles with a serviceable amount of pattern remaining will be reused, and others, depending on their condition will be donated to museums or, if severely worn, destroyed. For example, 24 tiles have been donated to the Stoke-on-Trent Potteries Tile Trail, where Herbert Minton's firm was based. The high standards of production and durability of the manufacturing process gives replacement tiles a projected life of at least 60 years.

Welcome to the Institute of Applied Optimization (IAO) [应用优化研究所] of the School of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data [人工智能与大数据学院] of the Hefei University [合肥学院]. Founded in December 2016, we are pursuing to become a strong research group in the field of applied mathematical and combinatorial optimization, operations research, Computational Intelligence machine learning, metaheuristics, and evolutionary computation.
We jointly organize the Special Session on Benchmarking of Computational Intelligence Algorithms (BOCIA'21) as part of the 2021 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2021), June 28-July 1, 2021 in Kraków, Poland (CfP) and the Analysing Algorithmic Behaviour of Optimisation Heuristics Workshop (AABOH'21) as part of the 2021 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO'21), July 10-14, 2021, Lille, France (CfP).
The above is a continuation of our efforts in the field, after already jointly organizing the successful BOCIA'18, BB-DOB@GECCO'18, BB-DOB@PPSN'18, BB-DOB@GECCO'19, BENCHMARK@GECCO'20, and BENCHMARK@PPSN'20 workshops and the Special Issue on Benchmarking of Computational Intelligence Algorithms in the Applied Soft Computing journal (published 2020).
The rise of vast computing power and data storage capacity together with the ubiquitous availability of the internet has brought us to the dawn of a new era, which leaves no aspect of industry, business, services, logistics, or even basic infrastructure unchanged. An enterprise must seek to take advantage of these new resources in order to stay ahead of the market, to become more efficient, to reduce its costs, and to increase its speed. Computational Intelligence conquers tasks which were previously pure human domains, ranging from driving vehicles, playing Go, to the automated planning of intermodal logistics tasks involving hundreds of trucks, trains, and ships and to the scheduling of the production of complete multi-production line factories.
Optimization and operations research are technologies which can be applied to increase the efficiency of virtually every single aspect of a company's operation. They can be used to improve the design of products and their robustness and quality. They can be used to reduce waste. They can be used to improve the scheduling of staff, work shifts, or the utilization of machines. They can improve the floor plan of workshops. They can be used for improving stockkeeping. They can improve virtually all aspects of logistics and even whole supply chains. And they can be combined with models obtained via Machine Learning and Data Mining to better plan ahead.
This is what we want to do: We want cooperate with partners from academia and different industries. We contribute both fundamental research on optimization as well as develop robust and reliable tailor-made software solutions. Our research aims to help to increase production efficiency and speed, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to even improve the quality of products. We further believe that optimization is one of the key technologies for making concepts such as Industry 4.0 and Made in China 2025 [中国制造2025] successful, as it can enable both intelligent, automatic control of networked manufacturing and management processes as well as a greener production.

Focus 50+

As the austerity agenda in the UK cuts state-funded service provision for older people despite increasing demand, social enterprise has become a politically and economically attractive model for the sustainable delivery of some public services (Hazenberg & Hall, 2016; Donaldson et al, 2011). Yet the impact of social enterprises on health and wellbeing of older people remains poorly understood (Hlady-Rispal & Servantie, 2016). Focus 50+ begins to address this gap in understanding of what impact social enterprise activities had on the health and wellbeing of participants aged over 50, and also how that impact was created. To achieve this, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample (n=43) of staff, volunteers, clients and carers aged over 50 involved in activities delivered by three Scottish social enterprises. Using a thematic analysis to explore manifest and latent themes, the analysis demonstrates the social enterprise activities impact upon intermediary determinants within the social determinants of health. Positive impacts were found on participants' sense of purpose, social support, connectedness and inclusion. References Donaldson,C., Baker,R., Cheater,F., Gillespie,M., McHugh,N., Sinclair,S. (2011).
