did holly madison dating criss angel
Holly didn't end the relationship just yet, though, but noted that Angel would act extremely jealous of her success and possible opportunities, asking her to hand over business cards she'd gain from contacts in the industry and throwing a fit any time Playboy was mentioned in connection. The two were first spotted cozying up last October, shortly after Madison and Hugh Hefner had called it quits. She felt she couldn't devote percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals. And when Criss was acting possessive, Holly just thought he was being protective. Originally published Feb. On Valentine's Day, the pair was spotted smooching it up in Sin City, and just last month they vacationed in Cabo San Lucas , along with fellow reality star Paula Abdul.

However, the blond beauty quickly realized that she became a distraction from the fact that his Las Vegas show BeLIEve was a flop. Finally enough was enough, and one fight became the last.
Hugh Hefner isn't the only former love interest that got slammed by Holly Madison.

Madison describes their love affair as a whirlwind romance that quickly took off once she split from Hef. However, the blond beauty quickly realized that she became a distraction from the fact that his Las Vegas show BeLIEve was a flop. That night, unbenknownst to me, I was the misdirection. The manipulation and question of whether Angel's actions were genuine began to grow as the staged photo-ops and antics for the paparazzi continued, but the lavish gifts and endearing words seemed to mask any immediate worry for the time being. As our public profile continued to rise, Criss said it was in order to keep me safe. The guard would stay in a hotel near my condo and was to accompany me everywhere. It was awkward and embarrassing to have to explain to my friends why a security guard joined us for every meal. However, it wasn't long until Angel's vices became a bit much to handle. I didn't want to go back to the mansion, Criss knew that, but it was as if he couldn't help his jealousy. For all his fame, fortune and success, Criss, to me, seemed cripplingly insecure.

Anglican Church of Melanesia supports islands hit by Tropical Cyclone
Bishop Worek, of the Anglican Church of Melanesia, handing over relief supplies to the National Disaster Management Committee.
The Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) is working closely with the National Disaster Management Committee in Vanuatu, and being supported by Anglican agencies in the Pacific, after tropical cyclone Donna battered the Torres Islands at the beginning of May.
The cyclone was the strongest cyclone ever to be recorded in the southern hemisphere in the month of May. It has destroyed homes and livelihoods. Many crops have been completely destroyed, including taro, cassava and yam, which are a staple part of the islanders' diet.
Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) reports that the Northern provinces of Vanuatu are the most affected. In particular the cyclone has devastated the Torba Province in the Anglican Diocese of Banks and Torres, where many Anglicans live.
Vanuatu's Disaster Risk Management Coordinator Mr Fisher Young Dinh was the first to contact many affected communities by radio, and has been helping the National Disaster Management Committee to communicate with other islands and conduct initial assessments. He has been in touch with ABM and Anglican Overseas Aid to report on the extent of damage caused by the cyclone. He said that there has been significant damage to houses and gardens, with only enough food supplies to last up to two or three weeks in some communities. Water supplies have been contaminated and toilet facilities destroyed on some of the islands.
Food donations have been prepared and distributed by the Anglican church to affected communities in Vanuatu. Relief supplies, including food, hygiene kits and water purifiers, have also been sent using the Anglican Mission ship (pictured, left) to neighbouring islands. Islanders are busy replanting crops, but they will not be ready to harvest for another 4-5 months at least. Ongoing assistance will be needed to ensure there is enough provision.
Fortunately, ACOM have been able to respond rapidly through the provision of relief funding from ABM, Anglican Overseas Aid and Anglican Missions Board in the Pacific, and Melanesian Mission in the UK. Following 'phase 1' of their outreach, which includes the initial provision of relief supplies for affected communities, ACOM are preparing a 'phase 2' recovery plan to tackle ongoing food security and other recovery issues such as trauma counselling. They are also preparing a longer term recovery and 'build back better' plan.
Dr Janice Proud, Anglican Alliance relief manager, said: "It is great to hear that the Anglican Church of Melanesia has been working so closely with the National Disaster Management Office, collecting and sharing reports from remote communities, purchasing "NDMO approved" relief items, working collaboratively on distribution. It is a credit to ACOM's preparedness planning since cyclone Pam in 2015 that they are engaging so well."

I'm Spanish, and I DO give a darn about Spanish cucumbers!
The German health authorities finally recognized their error, albeit a week too late. After confirming the results of two out of the four laboratory tests carried out, it was announced that the variant of the Escherichia coli bacteria, commonly known as E. coli, responsible for the deaths in Germany is not the same as the one found in the Spanish cucumbers originally blamed.
What? The Spanish cucumbers are "no longer" the cause of the infection? After all the jokes that went around about them on Twitter, Facebook, and the like. And that's not even the end of the story: the same social networks ended up condemning the entire agricultural production of a country, i.e. Spain.
But in a country like Spain, in the midst of a dire economic crisis, declaring its cucumbers and then its produce contaminated is no laughing matter, especially when such allegations are far from being proven. Almost all European countries closed the door on Spanish produce. The E.U. ordered that all imports of cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce coming from Spain be inspected.
How is the Spanish produce industry going to recover these losses? Will it ever be compensated? After a week of being blamed for several deaths due to our cucumbers, boldly proclaimed on the front pages of newspapers around the world, it will be difficult. There is no way to repair the damage, not even the damage done by social networks, where "news" spreads as quickly as unfounded rumors.
The E.U. is now analyzing how to compensate Spanish fruit and vegetable producers for the economic losses caused by this infectious outbreak the Germans attributed to a batch of Spanish cucumbers. The worry is that there are times that nothing can compensate for a loss.
The sad thing is that the innocent Spanish cucumber was never given a chance. German officials hastily proclaimed its guilt before even giving it a fair trial.

MP3.com Meets Digg: Find New Music on Sixtyone
By Stan Schroeder 2008-01-02 09:10:11 UTC
Here's a Digg-like site that actually sounds interesting for a change. It's a music repository; a place where lesser known musicians can upload their songs for everyone to hear (or buy; all songs are DRM-free). But, instead of being just a directory of music like the good old MP3.com was back in the day, Sixtyone has a Digg-like voting system; users can vote on their favorite songs, and songs with the most votes show up on the front page.
Sixtyone is different from most read-submit-vote-comment sites because it has an elaborate point system; a feature I find very interesting. When you sign up, you get points; each time you vote up a song, you spend 5 points, but if others vote for the song and it gets popular, you earn your points back. Furthermore, you can earn free points by listening to The Rack, which consists of music that hasn't hit the front page yet. As you earn more points, you go up in ranks; a feature that Digg has long abandoned (and I'm still not sure it was a good decision).
There are four main channels which aggregate music on Sixtyone: new, hot, all-time and the aforementioned rack. Music is further divided into genres, such as alternative, blues, jazz, metal etc. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to listen to a channel or a subchannel; you need to go song by song. A Last.FM style radio channels would definitely help matters here, as music listeners like to lay back and enjoy the melodies, instead of switching to a new song every couple of minutes. Another problem I've noticed is slowness; sometimes you have to wait a full minute before a song starts to play.
Still, Sixtyone is one of those sites that deserve to succeed. It's a good idea, wrapped in a nice design (you can even change the colors at the botom), and listening to music in this way is a fun experience for people interested in hearing something new. It may never reach mainstream success because not that many people are enthusiastic about new music (most people would rather listen to Billboard's top 40, something I consider to be an elaborate form of torture), but if I had to pick one Digg clone (out of thousands) that I really like, this would be it.

Showing results for tags 'internal websites'.
It looks like if a collector goes down, the internal website check won't trigger the alert for website-overall, if we configure alert trigger to "at All test locations" and have more than one collector assigned to monitor the app. Strangely, I can see in the raw data and graphs that the website-Overall does switch value to 2 (i.e. not OK). We are an AWS shop and deploy collectors in each client's VPC AND from a collector that has routing to the client VPC (e.g. from the client's on-prem network). We were conducting DR testing where the AWS based collector was "killed" along with the rest of the VPC, but we never saw an alert trigger for website-Overall.

Growing up with a pharmacist mother and a teacher-counselor father, I have always been around health and education in some form. Then, at the time I was a pre-nursing student at California State University Chico, I realized that my interests were centered more around pre-sickness health; diet, exercise, lifestyle choices and how these play such a significant role in overall health. Food had also always played a big role in my life. I put myself through school working in the restaurant business. This resulted in my achieving a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. After half of a lifetime in the Food Service Industry, I decided to return to my roots. Holistic Health and Nutrition Coaching is a perfect fit.
I work with the full spectrum of clients with quite varied needs (weight loss, more energy, better moods, better sleep, getting off medications…) and help put them on the path to their health and wellness goals with tailored nutritional and lifestyle strategies.

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active. If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor. Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO.
Yes to one or more questions: Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES. • You may be able to do any activity you want — as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice. • Find out which community programs are safe and helpful for you.

Federal Immigration Officials Must Take Immediate Action To Prevent Further Coronavirus Outbreaks at Detention Facilities
Article	 May 1, 2020
As COVID-19 spreads exponentially at detention facilities nationwide, ICE's inadequate response is leaving tens of thousands of detainees and facility staff, as well as broader communities, increasingly vulnerable.

As the vast majority of the nation continues to practice social distancing measures to reduce community spread of COVID-19, millions of incarcerated people in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers across the country have been left increasingly vulnerable. Interim guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding the management of the novel coronavirus makes clear that while there are countless opportunities for the virus to be introduced in a correctional or detention facility, there are few ways to prevent its spread. Facilities frequently fail to provide necessary personal hygiene and sanitation options, and both the number of people detained and the correctional setting make social distancing and medical isolation all but impossible.
While some state and local jurisdictions have taken smart and safe measures to decrease their detained populations to reduce the risk of an outbreak, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have failed to implement adequate measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. By adopting policies at a glacial pace and releasing detainees in a seemingly ad hoc manner, ICE continues to place detained people, facility staff, and the communities in which detention facilities sit at heightened and unnecessary risk of contracting the virus. In recent weeks, it has also become clear that by deporting people infected with the virus to Guatemala, Mexico, and Haiti—countries that are woefully unprepared to handle the introduction of additional coronavirus cases—ICE's recklessness is jeopardizing the health and stability of countries in the Western Hemisphere and beyond. The agency's refusal to put life and safety first is threatening the hard-fought progress that the nation—and the world—is making in the fight to contain COVID-19.
Last month, the Center for American Progress recommended that federal immigration officials implement a series of policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in detention facilities and their surrounding communities. Policies included focusing civil immigration enforcement and detention exclusively on significant threats to public safety, releasing vulnerable and low-risk detainees from custody, and issuing a formal public statement suspending immigration enforcement at or near health care facilities. At the time, not a single immigration detainee had yet tested positive for the virus. Since then, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE officials have not taken the necessary measures to fully implement and commit to CAP's recommendations. As the number of detained people and facility staff infected with the virus continues to rise—and following the coronavirus-related deaths of two guards at an ICE facility in Louisiana—a forthcoming study that will be published in the Journal of Urban Health estimates that without significant public health interventions, 72 percent to nearly 100 percent of individuals in immigration detention are expected to be infected within a 90-day period, placing incredible strain on nearby hospitals and intensive care units. As the nationwide fight against COVID-19 has made clear, quick and early action is critical to contain the spread of the virus, and no one, including ICE, is exempt from that.
Current ICE practices are falling short
As of April 30, ICE reports 490 positive cases of COVID-19 among its detainee population, as well as 36 positive cases among ICE employees at detention facilities. Both of these numbers are deceptively low.
As an initial matter, ICE has tested a vanishingly small number of individuals in its facilities—just 1,030 detained people as of April 30—meaning that it has a dangerously high test-positivity rate of nearly 48 percent. As nearly 30,000 individuals remain in detention today, that means that ICE has tested less than 3.5 percent of the people in its custody. Because ICE cannot report positive cases of which it remains willfully ignorant, the paucity of tests is likely a major factor in the relatively small number of positive test results. Moreover, ICE appears to be underreporting even the number of positive cases of which it is aware. In March, ICE justified its failure to disclose that a person held at the Krome detention center had tested positive based on the fact that the person had been transferred to the hospital at the time that the test was performed. More recently, while ICE reports that only three detainees at New Jersey's Essex County Correctional Facility have tested positive for the virus, the county recently began using in the jail an approved blood test to detect coronavirus antibodies; as of April 20, the county had tested 115 ICE detainees and had identified 89 who were positive for COVID-19 or had developed immunity based on previous exposure, perhaps during their period of detention. None of these data are incorporated into ICE's own public disclosures, and ICE has ordered the county to no longer publicly disclose these results.
The agency's official count of facility personnel who have tested positive for the virus also fails to include individuals who work inside facilities run by third-party contractors in roles such as security guards, doctors, nurses, and janitorial staff. Although ICE officials have stated that information about infections of contractor staff must come from contracting companies themselves, a federal court recently ordered the agency to disclose the number of contract personnel who had tested positive at three South Florida detention centers. Currently, more than 81 percent of people held in immigration detention are housed in facilities run by private contractors such as CoreCivic and the GEO Group. With contract employees at these facilities not included in official reporting, ICE is failing to recognize an entire segment of the population that is known to be carrying COVID-19 into detention facilities and back out into surrounding communities; the widow of one of the guards who recently died says she contracted the virus from her husband and that several relatives are exhibiting symptoms.
The agency's failure to respond in an effective and transparent way to the coronavirus outbreak is consistent with its long history of underreporting medical emergencies and failing to comply with medical standards. In order to have an accurate understanding of COVID-19 community spread across detention facilities, ICE must include all privately contracted staff, as well as detainees who have been transported to medical centers, in its official reporting.
Outbreaks of COVID-19 in ICE facilities across the country
The rapid spread of COVID-19 across detention facilities nationwide has resulted in significant outbreaks that place detainees, staff, and surrounding communities at imminent risk:
The Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, California, has 98 positive cases among detainees and eight cases among ICE staff members, meaning it has the largest outbreak of COVID-19 in a detention facility. Additional correctional staff employed by CoreCivic, the third-party contractor that runs the facility, have also tested positive. Detainees spoke out early about the conditions inside Otay Mesa, particularly the lack of space for distancing and the lack of access to personal protective equipment, which made the facility a "ticking time bomb" for becoming a COVID-19 hot spot.
At the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, New York, the amount of positive cases nearly tripled in one week, from 4 to 11; two weeks later, the number had more than quadrupled to 49. In mid-March, approximately 40 to 50 detainees were transferred to Batavia from Bergen, Essex, and Hudson county jails in New Jersey—all of which have confirmed cases of COVID-19. Detainees transferred from the Batavia facility likely spread the virus to other facilities now experiencing outbreaks.
The Alexandria Staging Facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, which ICE utilizes as a hub for deportation flights, has confirmed 14 positive cases among its staff. So far, the United States has deported people infected with the virus to at least Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, and Colombia; the more than 100 people deported to Guatemala who have tested positive for the virus make up nearly 20 percent of the 585 known coronavirus cases in that country. After the Guatemalan government briefly suspended deportation flights from the United States and other countries began to express concerns about accepted deportees, ICE announced that it would order 2,000 tests per month from the Department of Health and Human Services—not to identify the virus and treat sick people in its facilities but rather to ensure that people can be medically cleared to board deportation flights. Guatemala recently confirmed that a flight containing 92 Guatemalan nationals would be permitted to land in the country after every deportee tested negative for the virus. The confirmed cases at the Alexandria Staging Facility raise serious concerns over the role of ICE policies in the spread of COVID-19 across the region.
The proliferation of confirmed coronavirus infections at detention facilities around the country comes as no surprise. Not only was this result foretold more than two months ago, but prisons and jails around the country are also experiencing an explosive growth in such cases. According to multiple reports, when immigration detainees are exposed to a detainee who subsequently tests positive for the coronavirus, ICE confines the exposed people in a single housing unit for a period of two weeks, a process called "cohorting." According to CDC guidance, cohorting is "the practice of isolating multiple laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases together as a group, or quarantining close contacts of a particular case together as a group." Put simply, detainees who are known to have encountered COVID-19 are confined together for weeks, only increasing the likelihood that they too contract the disease. CDC guidelines warn against the use of cohorting in detention facilities and prisons, describing it as appropriate only "if there are no other available options" and only if additional precautions are taken to limit the risk of spread within the cohorted population. Given ICE's long history of overcrowding, poor sanitation, and failure to provide necessary medical care, cohorting practices go against all recommendations in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and simply make a bad problem worse.
In response to increasing pressure to reduce detention facility populations to preserve public health and safety, ICE has taken a number of half measures. In an April 15 update to its website, ICE confirmed it had released nearly 700 detainees who were at high risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. Acting Director Matthew Albence later confirmed to members of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform that the agency would not be releasing any more detainees, stating that releasing immigrants from custody to protect them from COVID-19 could signal that the administration is "not enforcing our immigration laws." In order to prevent further spread of the coronavirus throughout its nationwide network of detention facilities and into the broader community, ICE must release detainees in larger numbers and at faster rates.
Public pressure and court actions
As the number of confirmed cases continues to climb across detention facilities, elected officials, advocates, and detainees themselves have built significant pressure against ICE to take necessary action. Senate and House leaders have authored multiple letters to acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and acting ICE Director Albence calling for increased oversight and the release of at-risk detainees, and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) developed legislation, the FIRST Act, to force the agency to review its detained population and consider releases. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra called for comprehensive testing of staff and detained people in facilities in the state, a limit on the transfer and transport of detainees, access to personal protective equipment for detainees and staff, reductions in detainee populations, and improved sanitation.
Within facilities, detainees are staging demonstrations and participating in hunger strikes over continued concerns for their safety and inability to access sanitation supplies. Of the individuals released from ICE custody, many are at-risk detainees who secured release only through litigation in federal court. The American Civil Liberties Union and partner organizations continue litigation efforts in multiple states to secure the release of those most vulnerable to serious health consequences associated with COVID-19. On April 20, a federal judge in California granted class certification and entered a preliminary injunction requiring ICE to identify and track all detainees at high risk of developing serious health consequences from a coronavirus infection, make timely determinations regarding the custody of these individuals, and enforce compliance with ICE's COVID-19 Pandemic Response Requirements. And on April 30, a federal judge overseeing a lawsuit at the Otay Mesa facility issued an order finding that conditions at the facility for medically vulnerable detainees "are unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment because the conditions of their confinement place [them] at substantial risk of serious illness or death." The court ordered ICE to immediately conduct a review and release all medically vulnerable detainees suitable for release. Given the urgent need for ICE to adopt policies promoting public health during the ongoing pandemic, it is unacceptable that releases are being secured largely through litigation and advocacy, rather than through sound agency policy.
ICE officials have failed to implement necessary measures to prevent outbreaks of COVID-19 across detention facilities. As a result, they have left tens of thousands of people vulnerable and at high risk of coming into contact with the virus. Beyond jeopardizing the health and safety of people in confinement, the failure to prevent and address the spread of the coronavirus in custodial settings has dramatic implications for public health and community spread. The forthcoming Journal of Urban Health study says plainly that if "more limited measures on the part of ICE prove ineffective, then the successful social distancing strategies implemented in a community may be undone by the large number of detainee infectious disease cases that its hospitals must care for." These problems will only be more devastating if ICE continues to deport individuals who became infected with COVID-19 while in government custody. By recklessly exporting the coronavirus to countries that are even less equipped than the United States to handle the serious health consequences of an outbreak, federal immigration detention and removal efforts are jeopardizing the health and stability of the region and the world at large.

Windows 10 Has Arrived And So Far, The Experts Love It!
Officially launched yesterday, Microsoft has released the latest version of its operating system and the best news of all is that it is FREE to download for all Windows 7 and 8.1 users, for the next year!
Early reviews are of the consensus that Microsoft has listened to feedback and gone back to basics, then added a whole raft of new features. Looking like the earlier Windows 7 system that everybody loved, Microsoft hope that Windows 10 will reverse their years of decline and have already said that this will be the final version of the Windows operating system.
The first piece of great news is that the Start menu is back. This rectifies one of the biggest complaints people had when it was removed in Windows 8. It's a blend of the traditional Start menu from Windows 7 and earlier, with the "Live Tiles" of Windows 8 and Windows Phone and is the hub for all your applications, settings and files.
As well as PC's and laptops, Windows 10 will work on phones, tablets and Microsoft's Xbox one games console. All sizes of screen can be controlled by touchscreen or a keyboard & mouse and a big plus of Windows 10's new interface is the "Continuum" feature, which lets devices that can be both tablets and PCs, seamlessly switch between the two modes.
Windows 10 also includes something that Microsoft has never offered in a desktop operating system before, a built-in virtual personal assistant, "Cortana". First available on Windows Phone last year, it's Microsoft's answer to Google Now and Apple's Siri, providing useful information at a glance. Cortana in Windows 10 is also able to be fully voice controlled. You can set reminders, perform searches, send email, add calendar events, and more, with just your voice.
Every major new version of an operating system comes with new versions of core apps for email, calendar, photos, mapping, etc and with Windows 10, the updated versions of them, according to the experts, are really very good. The Mail and Calendar apps have been completely overhauled with new interfaces & features and support a variety of email and calendar services. Threaded conversations, easy ways to delete or archive mail and gesture controls, make the new Mail app fast and efficient to use. Mail and Calendar also provide lots of data to make the Cortana personal assistant more useful. So, even if you plan to use web tools to manage your inbox and appointments, they say it's worth the time to set up your email and calendar accounts when you install Windows 10.
Ever since Windows 95, Microsoft has included a web browser with its operating system. For years, that's been Internet Explorer, which has been left behind by more modern browsers such as Google's Chrome or Mozilla's Firefox. For Windows 10, Microsoft is leaving Internet Explorer behind and including "Edge", its first new browser in 20 years. Edge is a completely overhauled browser that's fast, supports modern web experiences and promises fewer crashes. It also includes useful features such as integration with Cortana and a note-taking mode that lets you write on a web page and share it with others. For the vast majority of people, it should provide a much better web browsing experience than anything Microsoft has offered before.
And finally, all versions of Windows 10 are based on the same "code", which means many apps - though not all as yet- will now work on all devices. Meaning, only one app store across all platforms.
So, we here at Estates IT are excited and we hope our clients are too.

A common goal of bariatric surgery patients is to no longer be classified as obese (BMI > 30). This goal is important not just for aesthetic purposes, but it has medical reasons as well. People with BMIs under 30 are less likely to have weight related morbidity and mortality issues, including lower risk of sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
According to the study, the two factors that made achieving a BMI of less than 30 within one year post bariatric surgery more possible were: beginning with a preoperative BMI of less than 40 and having either gastric bypass or gastric band surgery. In the study, 9,713 (36%) of the 27,320 patients were able to achieve this goal. That isn't to say those with a BMI over 40 didn't achieve the goal of a BMI less than 30 after one year, or even after the one year benchmark. In fact, 8.5% of those study participants with a BMI over 50 were able to achieve a BMI < 30. It is possible, but the study found the odds are better when your preoperative BMI is less than 40.
The good news is that those who were able to reach BMI <30 and no longer be classified as obese had major medical benefits: significantly higher rates of medication discontinuation for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension and higher rates of sleep apnea remission. What's more is they also reported higher rates of satisfaction.
If your BMI is over 35 and you have comorbidities (like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and vascular or mobility issues), you may be a candidate for bariatric surgery. Dr. Shillingford's office can help you find out if you qualify for gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or lap band surgery and which surgery is right for you. Call (561) 483-8840 to schedule a free informational session with Dr. Shillingford today. Dr. Shillingford, MD, PA, is a board certified surgeon specializing in advanced laparoscopic, robotic, and weight loss surgery. His weight loss surgery patients come from all over Florida, including Boca Raton, Parkland, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville.

Electric Town!
"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
-- William Gibson, Neuromancer
My images of Japan prior to our visit were murky at best, overly influenced by bits and pieces of Shogun, Black Rain, Blade Runner (yes, OK, technically that was in LA), and Lost in Translation. By far the most most enduring vision, though, was from the opening scenes of Gibson's 1984 masterpiece. I was a bit disappointed on our initial evening train ride into the city from Narita, knowing we were passing by the streets of Chiba with no way to see what they looked like. (I understand there's nothing really compelling in Chiba, but still...)
But I knew that eventually we'd get to Akihabara Electric Town, the Tokyo district that's the electronics geek capital of the world and probably the one place -- with the possible exception of Osaka, where we unfortunately weren't visiting -- that could live up to the mental images I'd developed. The chance came a bit earlier than I'd thought; I'd left our camera charger back in the States by mistake, and in the quest to find a new one I took a train to Akihabara one evening while Forest and Wendy napped. The place was surreal: more neon than I'd ever seen in one place; tiny booths selling circuit boards, transformers, individual chips and just about every other part you could imagine; multi-level electronics-and-manga megastores; and pachinko parlors everywhere.
Since our camera was more than a year old, and therefore ancient by Japanese standards, I didn't end up finding a compatible charger and was "forced" to buy a brand new camera. I unfortunately had to head back to our apartment near the Nishi-Okikubo station, way across town, sooner than I would have liked. At least I knew we'd be able to take pictures for the rest of the trip!
Flash forward a couple of days to Christmas Eve, the morning after our Tapas Molecular Bar experience. We packed up all of our things, sent the bulk of our luggage on to our next major destination outside of Tokyo [Hakone] courtesy of a courier service in the nearby 7-Eleven, and took the train back to Akihabara, where we were going to be spending the night in a pod hotel. I wasn't thrilled at the thought, but Forest and Wendy had really wanted to try it, so I got out-voted.
The hotel itself, "Capsule Inn Akihabara" (the white building in the center of this view) didn't look very promising from the outside, but actually was well-maintained and seemingly well-run once we checked in. For some reason, they are completely closed from 10am (when the previous night's tenants have to leave) until 5pm, when they let people back in for the next night's stay. The floors are segregated, so Wendy and Forest headed up to one of the women's floors to put their overnight bags in a locker, while I did the same on a men's-only floor. We walked the couple of blocks over to the main Akihabara streets to explore a bit and find some lunch. With the possible exception of the Harajuku area, "Akiba" probably highlighted the most unusual aspects of Japanese city life and culture. One of the stranger aspects were the "cosplay cafes", where the waitresses dress up as French maids or manga characters. We picked a decidedly more tame destination, a small noodle shop. Even there, though, nothing was quite what would be expected in any other part of the world. We had to purchase our meal by using a ticket-vending machine at the entrance that [thankfully] had pictures of all of our choices. Rather than the fast-food ambiance that suggests, though, we were then treated to an excellently-prepared (and welcomely warming) sit-down meal at the counter. The rest of Akihabara was a bit overwhelming (especially our brief attempt at playing pachinko.) Forest had left her phone charger in France -- we must have been on the same wavelength -- so we stopped into several shops looking for a replacement, only to be told that nothing like what she needed existed in Japan, despite the fact that her phone was made by Sony-Eriksson. Seems that if something isn't the latest and greatest, the Japanese don't want anything to do with it!
By the time we wandered back to the Capsule Inn for the 5pm check-in, we were pretty beat, so we each went to our separate pods for a short pre-dinner nap. It was at that point that I discovered that the pods were approximately 196cm long (I'm 197cm tall). When laying out straight, I was just barely too long. Fortunately the capsules were fairly wide, so I was able to fit in diagonally.
Since we didn't have rooms per se, this was to be our only night where we couldn't have apéros before going out. We couldn't let Christmas Eve go without some celebration; we'd decided to go to the New York Bar in the Park Hyatt Tokyo hotel, on the 52nd floor of the Shinjuku Park Tower. The bar was made famous by the movie Lost In Translation, although sadly a certain someone was not anywhere to be found on the night we visited.
We hadn't realized that the bar didn't open until 8pm, so we had a small wait, but the place was absolutely stunning, with unsurpassed views of the Tokyo cityscape. They had a lounge band and singer, but as an added bonus we were serenaded with Christmas Carols by a visiting group of Harlem gospel singers. The Hyatts in Japan seem to run top-tier bar programs, and the New York bar was no exception. Unfortunately for me, though I wasn't paying attention to the tabletop snack mix and inadvertently ate a peanut, to which I have an allergy. Almost immediately, I lost all my appetite and wasn't able to even enjoy my martini, which considering the 2,000 JPY cover charge was especially annoying.
Since I was feeling pretty miserable and just wanted to crawl into my pod, Wendy and Forest went on to eat near Shibuya Crossing (which I was sorry to miss) and I took a train back to Akiba. Upon arriving, I was surprised to find that the seemingly near-empty hotel was now packed; all but one or two of the pods on my floor were occupied. The next morning, after meeting up with the girls again, we boarded a train for Hakone.

ObamaCare Individual Mandate Struck Down
By Clarice Feldman 2010-12-13T16:44
Here's more from Hudson's decision today:
[T]he bill embraces far more than health care reform. It is laden with provisions and riders patently extraneous to health care-over 400 in all.... [at p. 38]
The final element of the analysis is difficult to apply in this case given the haste with which the final version of the 2,700 page bill was rushed to the floor for a Christmas Eve vote. It would be virtually impossible within the present record to determine whether Congress would have passed this bill, encompassing a wide variety of topics related and unrelated to heath care, without Section 1501. [at p. 39]
The attorney general of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, has indicated he believes the case will go to the Supreme Court. "I am gratified we prevailed. This won't be the final round, as this will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, but today is a critical milestone in the protection of the Constitution," said Cuccinelli.
I can't argue with that assessment.
This afternoon Cuccinelli held a press conference to explain his view of the case and what the next steps would be. He said this litigation was a "long process", that as the case was wending its way to the Supreme Court he was "happy to go with a win in round one." He reminded those present of the many commentators who said Virginia's suit was "frivolous" and meritless. He anticipates the administration will seek an appeal in the Fourth Circuit and plans to seek an agreement to expedite that process to avoid the costs the Commonwealth would be forced to incur as the appeal proceeds.
As for the severability issue, the Attorney General said: The administration said in court it would abide by the Court's declaratory outcome. In his opinion [p. 40] the Judge indicated which provisions were dependent on Section 1501's mandate and the Court had no need to enjoin the enforcement of those provisions because it is anticipated the government would keep its word and abide by that ruling.
Rasmussen reports that ObamaCare has gotten even more unpopular as time wears on:
Time doesn't seem to be winning the new national health care law any more friends. Most voters have favored repeal of the law every week since it was passed and support for repeal has now inched up to its highest level since mid-September. Many Americans remain concerned that the law will force them to change their health insurance coverage.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 60% of Likely U.S. Voters at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law while 34% are opposed. As has been the case since the law was first passed, those who favor repeal feel more passionately than those who want to keep the law--46% Strongly Favor repeal while just 23% who are Strongly Opposed.
Twenty states are already challenging the law. In Florida, Judge Vinson has already expressed his skepticism at the administration's arguments. Cuccinelli indicated with the electoral changes in the various states, he anticipated one half of the states would be challenging ObamaCare in court. He couldn't think of another case with such significant state opposition and neither can I. In the Florida case, Judge Vinson has refused to dismiss the case.
This was a signal victory for constitutional government with the promise of more to come.

As its name clearly suggests, this program allows you to modify and customize your Windows cursors so that your working environment turns unique. Besides, you can also create new cursors from the scratch - or using any image file in JPEG, PNG, BMP or GIF formats as a base. This tool can be used to create animated and multi-resolution cursors too, for compatibility with the latest versions of MS Windows.
Initially, the program shows you a simple and intuitive user interface, based on several tabs. One of them is "Online" and gives you access to a series of helpful online resources that include multiple video tutorials, plugins and some ready-to-use samples. Customize tab, on the other hand, detects all your current cursors and allows you to edit them, change them or return to the default ones. Also, the Create tab allows you to design a brand-new cursor either from the scratch, or using a base image file. Alternatively, the program can load a previously copied image directly from your clipboard, or even capture your desktop to use it as a base.
Whether you select to edit an existing cursor or to crate a new one, the program will launch its image editor, which is based on RealWorld Paint, a feature-rich editor also published by RealWorld Graphics. This editor provides you with a myriad of drawing tools and effects such as pencil, eraser, line, text, flood fill, retouch with brush, multiple transformations, multiple selection methods and others. You also have several ready-to-use animations like clock, animated dots, spinning wheel and animated fire. Each tool includes its own configuration panel where you can adjust the appropriate parameters. Furthermore, if you plan to work with animated cursors, you can add or remove layers as required, and work with each one independently. Finally, when you finish your creation, you can save it in several image formats including PNG, GIF, static/animated cursor file, or using the program's proprietary format (RLI). You can also send your creation to the publisher's online library directly from the program's interface, but this requires having an account with them first.
To cut a long story short, I would say RealWorld Cursor Editor is an excellent tool when it comes to editing or creating cursor files. I would recommend it to any person, considering it provides a feature-rich image editor totally free of charge. If for whatever reason you are not convinced with the program or its features, you can uninstall it at any moment without any complication.
Guest functionality normally seen in high-end illustration tools geared as a niche point solution given away for free. impressive.

Q: Navigation bar blends with black instead of white when presenting a view controller modally I'm trying to present a view controller (which is embedded in a navigation controller) modally. The problem is that when the view is presented, it is blending the navigation bar with black rather than white.
I am creating my view controller from a storyboard and showing it by using -[UIViewController presentViewController:animated:completion:].
How can I get the correct blending as can be seen below?
Incorrect behavior:

Correct behavior:

A: The problem was that the Extend Edges setting had Under Top Bars disabled. Once I enabled that setting, everything worked properly.
Note to revert to the defaults, you should enable Under Top Bars and Under Bottom Bars. The latter is especially useful if you notice the same behavior with a tool bar at the bottom of the view controller.
You can see what the value is set to programmatically by reading the edgesForExtendedLayout value on your view controller. If it is set to UIRectEdgeNone, you will get the undesirable behavior.
For more information on how extended edges works, see this answer.

Suffice to say the "Diesel" Shaquille O'Neal has the burden of the state of Florida on his shoulders as he prepares for recreation three in Miami tonight. After the worst efficiency of his profession 5 factors on Sunday, 22 in 2 video games, 2 for 17 foul taking pictures and oh sure outrebounded 13-6 by Mavericks Eric Dampier.
Dampier got here to the Mavericks three years in the past and signed a hefty $70 million contract at which period O'Neal instructed that "Erica" could be a star however he must play within the WNBA to do it. Evidently O'Neal has loved taking pictures on the underachieving Dampier the previous few seasons, however now it appears like turnaround is truthful play!
You solely have to take a look at the rebound whole the previous two video games for Shaq to appreciate he has been lacking in motion, as his 13 in two video games is three wanting what Dirk Nowitzkie had in recreation 2 alone. Massive gamers are speculated to carry out in massive video games and O'Neal has been a bust and it's about time that he confirmed up able to play.
That being stated no matter how Shaq and Dwyane Wade do Tuesday evening, my intestine feeling is that Antoine Walker should go off in an enormous method if Miami is to slender the deficit within the collection. Walker acquired a pair of All-Star berths in seven years in Boston, however has seen his function decreased in stints with Dallas, Atlanta and Miami during the last three years!
Nonetheless, Walker has been a constant scorer to date within the Finals. He's averaging 18.5 factors whereas taking pictures 43 p.c (15-of-34) from the sphere, together with 7-of-16 from the arc. He has added 10 rebounds and 6 assists but additionally has eight turnovers, together with six in Sport One on sportsbook.
The Warmth are 7-Zero on this years playoffs after they rating over 100 factors and even when Wade and O'Neal mix for 60, they'll want main numbers from Walker who's able to scoring 30+.
If nevertheless they lose the board battle, this collection is over!


The Audi A3 Saloon is the third version of the A3 along with the hatchback and Sportback. The Saloon has more rear legroom and a bigger boot and its only direct rival is the Mercedes CLA. It's a little dull, however, and options can be expensive.
What do you want to read about Audi A3 Saloon?
The Audi A3 saloon has one of the best interiors in the class. The high-quality materials and pop-up infotainment screen make for a premium atmosphere. The A3 saloon boot adds day-to-day practicality and a little more individuality but the sloping roof means headroom in the back is worse than in the Sportback.
Thanks to modern underpinnings the A3 saloon is agile and confident in corners. The optional Sport and S line suspension setups improve handling marginally but make the ride quite firm for UK roads.
The Audi A3 Saloon gets the same range of excellent engines as the hatchback and Sportback but two really stand out – the 1.4-litre petrol and the 2.0-litre diesel. The petrol is punchy and fuel efficient, but the diesel spectacular fuel economy is better if you plan to do lots of motorway miles.
As a premium model, the Audi A3 saloon gets two well-equipped trim levels – Sport and S-line. Although the Sport has a generous kit list with a 5.8-inch multimedia screen, alloys and a DAB digital radio with eight speakers, we'd go for the S line for the more stylish body kit it adds. In 2016 standard equipment was increased to include xenon headlights that turn on automatically and wipers that do the same.
The Audi A3 saloon isn't many things. It isn't the most comfortable, it isn't the fastest, it isn't the cheapest and isn't the most desirable in its class. What it is is a shrunken A4 and while it may not be as exciting to drive or look at as some of its rivals, the A3 Saloon makes a fine case for itself over the blander hatchback. It's a bigger rival for the A4 though, providing just as much car for a lot less money.
There will be no complaints about the interior of the current Audi A3. It's just as well built as any other Audi, providing high levels of fit and finish and, unlike the previous generation, a stylish and ergonomic layout.
Getting a comfortable driving position is a breeze and, if you spec the car up, it can become quite luxurious – the same quilted leather seats that are found in the A8 flagship can be specified in the Audi A3 saloon. However rear visibility is worse than in the hatchback so we recommend opting for parking sensors.
The extra length and longer wheelbase give the Audi A3 saloon a bit more legroom than the hatchback so it's better suited to carrying adults over longer journeys – two adults can travel in comfort while three can fit if they don't mind being short of elbow room.
Interior storage is just as impressive. The door bins are huge – big enough for a large bottle of water – and the glovebox can take a 1.5-litre bottle of water with room to spare for other bits and pieces. On top of those, you get four cupholders and an armoury of smaller cubbies.
The larger wheelbase also increases the available boot space to 425 litres – way more than either of the other body styles of A3 and only a fraction less than the A4. It also thrumps the Mazda 3 Fastback's 417 litres, but is less than what you get in the Mercedes CLA (471 litres).
Another benefit of the saloon body shape is the extremely useful square shape of the boot that is only hindered by a somewhat narrow opening.
While the A3 hatchback has pulled itself up by its bootstraps to mix it with the better drivers' cars, the A3 saloon is more about comfort than performance.
The engine range is decent. You can pick from five options – two petrols (a 1.4-litre with cylinder-on-demand and a 2.0-litre) or three diesels (a 1.6-litre and two 2.0-litre models). The 2.0-litre petrol and diesels can also be quipped with quattro 4WD.
Even the least potent option – the 108hp 1.6-litre – takes just over ten seconds for the 62mph sprint and achieves fuel economy of 72-74mpg combined, so there's no really slow Audi A3 saloon.
At the other end of the scale, the 181hp 2.0-litre dips under seven seconds in the short sprint while still averaging 60mpg. The lower powered 2.0-litre with 150hp provides decent performance and low running costs. It can achieve 70.6mpg and 0-62mph in less than nine seconds.
The 1.4-litre petrol is an equally good choice as the 2.0-litre diesel and what it loses in fuel economy it gains in its lively character and quiet operation. The high-tech cylinder-on-demand technology helps it achieve 60.1mpg on a run and it emits 109g/km of CO2.
The 177hp 1.8-litre petrol can also accelerate from 0-62mph in under seven seconds but looks a bit redundant next to the equally fast but more frugal 2.0-litre diesel in 181hp form.
The Audi A3 saloon is a breeze to drive at any pace, but never fizzes. The ride can be Audi-firm if you opt for Sport or S Line suspension, but the A3 Saloon feels best with the standard suspension that can be equipped even on S Line cars, at no extra cost.
There's grip to spare, the electric power steering system is fine, if not really tactile and there's also an optional set of magnetic dampers make the car sharper to drive or more comfortable depending on your mood. Speaking of driving modes, the Saloon is the only A3 model to get three selectable driving modes that have pretty self-explanatory names – Dynamic, Economy and Comfort. Each mode brings different throttle response and power steering weight.
