For as long as companies have been selling tools to assist the filmmaker, people have been exploring ways to accomplish the same thing better, faster, cheaper... and mostly aiming for cheaper! This page chronicles my adaptation of the many DIY designs floating about the internet.
This article isn't intended as a complete building guide...I really just wanted to chronicle my ongoing efforts to design and build a camera stabilizer. This page represents my 3rd effort, and draws most of its inspiration from the Steadicam Merlin, a commercial stabilizer aimed at the consumer market.
My budget was a bit higher than $14 and I wanted to put something together that emulated, as best as a home-brew project could, the design of the commercial steadicam. To that end I trolled the internet and discovered a whole community of amateur filmmakers, physics nerds, and cheap folk like myself who just had to see if they could build a camera stabilizer for less than the cost of a compact car. The successes I found on the internet, and the elegance with which folks have done it, inspired me to do the same.
The main conundrum I faced in putting together my SteadiCam was the mechanics of the gimbal. The commercial units have many beautifully machined parts, and while my garage workshop is reasonable well equipped, I was completely unprepared to do any precision metal machining or drilling. My first design utilized PVC to create a simple yet elegant gimbal which has been working out great (check out the video). My newest design was intended to eliminate this labor-intensive part and replace it with something 'off the shelf'.
To that end, I present you with a 1/4" right angle ball joint, commonly used as a throttle linkage on cars. I bought mine off ebay from this guy.
The camera platform is the same one I'm using on my 1st camera stabilizer. This short video should give you enough details to see how it is designed. It's purpose is to allow me to adjust the center of gravity of the stabilizer as simply as possible.
The weight stack at the bottom of the stabilizer is just a bunch of 5/16" fender washers threaded over a short length of 5/16" all-thread rod, which has been screwed into the end of the lower stabilizer bar. The body of the stabilizer is made from 1x2 Pine fur strips.

Supreme Court Judgement (Lalita Kumari case) on registration of FIR
The constitution bench of supreme court in its recent judgement in Lalita Kumari vs State of UP case dealt in details about legal status of registration of FIR by police. I will here by discuss the summary of the judgement.
Case :
The writ petition, under Article 32 of the Constitution, was filed by one Lalita Kumari (minor) through her father, viz., Shri Bhola Kamat for the issuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus or direction(s) of like nature against the respondents herein for the protection of his minor daughter who has been kidnapped. The grievance in the said writ petition is that on 11.05.2008, a written report was submitted by the petitioner before the officer in-charge of the police station concerned who did not take any action on the same. Thereafter, when the Superintendent of Police was moved, an FIR was registered. According to the petitioner, even thereafter, steps were not taken either for apprehending the accused or for the recovery of the minor 3 girl child.
Since the petition involved the question of registration of FIR , and there were many divergent opinions of different courts in the matter of registration FIR , the matter was reffered to the constitutional bench of supreme court.
Issue in Question :
The important issue which arises for consideration in the referred matter was whether "a police officer is bound to register a First Information Report (FIR) upon receiving any information relating to commission of a cognizable offence under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973(in short 'the Code') or the police officer has the power to conduct a "preliminary inquiry" in order to test the veracity of such information before registering the same?" .
After hearing senior counsels representing various states and agencies such as CBI and all parties involved the court discussed various sections in detail citing various judgments.
Discussion by the Court :
The court pointed out following facts while discussion the matter :
1)The FIR is a pertinent document in the criminal law procedure of our country and its main object from the point of view of the informant is to set the criminal law in motion and from the point of view of the investigating authorities is to obtain information about the alleged criminal activity so as to be able to take suitable steps to trace and to bring to book the guilty.
2)Historical experience has thrown up cases from both the sides where the grievance of the victim/informant of non-registration of valid FIRs as well as that of the accused of being unnecessarily harassed and investigated upon false charges have been found to be correct. Court cited State of Maharashtra vs. Sarangdharsingh Shivdassingh Chavan & Anr. (2011) 1 SCC 577 as example of first case and example of Preeti Gupta vs. State of Jharkhand (2010) 7 SCC 667 related to misuse of IPC.
3)Further court discussed various enactments of Criminal Procedure Code viz CrPC 1861, CrPC 1872, CrPC 1882, CrPC 1898 and CrPC 1973 and opined that A perusal of the above said provisions manifests the legislative intent in both old codes and the new code for compulsory registration of FIR in a case of cognizable offence without conducting any Preliminary Inquiry.
4)Court also discussed the insertion of section 166A in IPC related to provision of punishment to public servant (Police Officer) fails to record any information given to him under 36 Section 154(1) of the Code in relation to cognizable offences punishable under Sections 326A, 326B, 354, 354B, 370, 370A, 376, 376A 376B, 376C, 376D, 376E or Section 509, and observed that insertion of Section 166A in the IPC vide Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013, must be read in consonance with the provision and not contrary to it. The insertion of Section 166A was in the light of recent unfortunate occurrence of offences against women. The intention of the legislature in putting forth this amendment was to tighten the already existing provisions to provide enhanced safeguards to women. Therefore, the legislature, after noticing the increasing crimes against women in our country, thought it appropriate to expressly punish the police officers for their failure to register FIRs in these cases. No other meaning than this can be assigned to for the insertion of the same.
Interpretation of Section 154 :
5) Supreme court mentioned that the first and foremost principle of interpretation of a statute in every system of interpretation is the literal rule of interpretation. A plain reading of Section 154(1) of the Code provides that any information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence if given orally to an officer-in-charge of a police station shall be reduced into writing by him or under his direction. There is no ambiguity in the language of Section 154(1) of the Code.
6)The use of the word 'shall' in the section coupled with the Scheme of the Act lead to the conclusion that the legislators intended that if an information relating to commission of a cognizable offence is given, then it would mandatorily be registered by the officer in-charge of the police station. Reading 'shall' as 'may', as contended by some counsel, would be against the Scheme of the Code. Section 154 of the Code should be strictly construed and the word 'shall' should be given its natural meaning. The golden rule of interpretation can be given a go-by only in cases where the language of the section is ambiguous and/or leads to an absurdity.
7)It is relevant to mention that Section 39 of the Code casts a statutory duty on every person to inform about commission of certain offences which includes offences covered by Sections 121 to 126, 302, 64-A, 382, 392 etc., of the IPC. It would be incongruous to suggest that though it is the duty of every citizen to inform about commission of an offence, but it is not obligatory on the officer-incharge of a Police Station to register the report. The word 'shall' occurring in Section 39 of the Code has to be given the same meaning as the word 'shall' occurring in Section 154(1) of the Code
8) The court further observed that If at all, there is any inconsistency in the provisions of Section 154 of the Code and provisions of the Police Act, with regard to the fact as to whether the FIR is to be registered in the FIR book or in the General Diary, the provisions of Section 154 of the Code will prevail and the provisions of the Police Act, (or similar provisions of the respective corresponding Police Act or Rules in other respective States) shall be void to the extent of the repugnancy. Thus, FIR is to be recorded in the FIR Book, as mandated under Section 154 of the Code, and it is not correct to state that information will be first recorded in the General Diary and only after preliminary inquiry, if required, the information will be registered as FIR. However a GD entry may be treated as First information in an appropriate case, where it discloses the commission of a cognizable offence.
9)The legislature has consciously used the expression "information" in Section 154(1) of the Code as against the expression used in Section 41(1)(a) and (g) where the expression used for arresting a person without warrant is "reasonable complaint" or "credible information". The expression under Section 154(1) of the Code is not qualified by the prefix "reasonable" or "credible". The non qualification of the word "information" in Section 154(1) unlike in Section 41(1)(a) and (g) of the Code is for the reason that the police officer should not refuse to record any information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence on the ground that he is not satisfied with the reasonableness or credibility of the information.
Preliminary Enquiry:
10) The court referred to the section 2(g) of CrPC and stated that it is clear that inquiry under the Code is relatable to a judicial act and not to the steps taken by the Police which are either investigation after the stage of Section 154 of the Code or termed as 'Preliminary Inquiry' and which are prior to the registration of FIR, even though, no entry in the General Diary/Station Diary/Daily Diary has been made.
11)Though there is reference to the term 'preliminary inquiry' and 'inquiry' under Sections 159 and Sections 202 and 340 of the Code, that is a judicial exercise undertaken by the Court and not by the Police and is not relevant for .
12) Further court referred to the section 4 and section 5 of CrPC and concluded that special provisions contained in the DSPE Act relating to the powers of the CBI are protected under these sections and the powers of the CBI under the DSPE Act to hold preliminary enquiry cannot be equated with the powers of the regular State Police under the Code.
Significance and Compelling reasons for registration of FIR at the earliest:
13) a) It is the first step to 'access to justice' for a victim.
b) It upholds the 'Rule of Law' inasmuch as the ordinary person brings forth the commission of a cognizable crime in the knowledge of the State.
c) It also facilitates swift investigation and sometimes 73 even prevention of the crime. In both cases, it only effectuates the regime of law.
d) It leads to less manipulation in criminal cases and lessens incidents of 'ante-dates' FIR or deliberately delayed FIR.
Is there a likelihood of misuse of the provision?
14) As far as argument that, mandatory registration of FIR will lead to arbitrary arrest resulting in violation of article 21 of the constitution, is considered there are many safeguards provided against the arrest. First of all while registration of FIR is mandatory, arrest of the accused immediately on registration of FIR is not at all mandatory.
On the other hand, if a police officer misuses his power of arrest, he can be tried and punished under Section 166. As mentioned in Joginder kumar vs State of UP (1994) judgement "There must be some reasonable justification in the opinion of the officer effecting the arrest that such arrest is necessary and justified. Except in heinous offences, an arrest must be avoided if a police officer issues notice to person to attend the Station House and not to leave the Station without permission would do."
Moreover, it is also pertinent to mention that an accused person also has a right to apply for "anticipatory bail" under the provisions of Section 438 of the Code if the conditions mentioned therein are satisfied. Thus, in appropriate cases, he can avoid the arrest under that provision by obtaining an order from the Court.
Besides, the Code gives power to the police to close a matter both before and after investigation. A police officer can foreclose an FIR before an investigation under Section 157 of the Code, if it appears to him that there is no sufficient ground to investigate the same.
15)The court said that there may be instances where preliminary inquiry may be required owing to the change in genesis and novelty of crimes with the passage of time. One such instance is in the case of allegations relating to medical negligence on the part of doctors. It will be unfair and inequitable to prosecute a medical professional only on the basis of the allegations in the complaint. In such cases police can conduct a sort of preliminary verification or inquiry for the limited purpose of ascertaining as to whether a cognizable offence has been committed.
Conclusions/ Directions of the Court :
16) In view of the aforesaid discussion, the court held:
(i) Registration of FIR is mandatory under Section 154 of the Code, if the information discloses commission of a cognizable offence and no preliminary inquiry is permissible in such a situation.
(ii) If the information received does not disclose a cognizable offence but indicates the necessity for an inquiry, a preliminary inquiry may be conducted only to ascertain whether cognizable offence is disclosed or not.
(iii)If the inquiry discloses the commission of a cognizable offence, the FIR must be registered. In cases where preliminary inquiry ends in closing the complaint, a copy of the entry of such closure must be supplied to the first informant forthwith and not later than one week. It must disclose reasons in brief for closing the complaint and not proceeding further.
(iv)The police officer cannot avoid his duty of registering offence if cognizable offence is disclosed. Action must be taken against erring officers who do not register the FIR if information received by him discloses a cognizable offence.
(v) The scope of preliminary inquiry is not to verify the veracity or otherwise of the information received but only to ascertain whether the information reveals any cognizable offence.
(vi) As to what type and in which cases preliminary inquiry is to be conducted will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. The category of cases in which preliminary inquiry may be made are as under:
(a)Matrimonial disputes/ family disputes
(b)Commercial offences
(c) Medical negligence cases
(d)Corruption cases
(e)Cases where there is abnormal delay/laches in initiating criminal prosecution, for example, over 3 months delay in reporting the matter without satisfactorily explaining the reasons for delay. The aforesaid are only illustrations and not exhaustive of all conditions which may warrant preliminary inquiry.
(vii) While ensuring and protecting the rights of the accused and the complainant, a preliminary inquiry should be made time bound and in any case it should not exceed fifteen days generally and in exceptional cases, by giving adequate reasons, six weeks time is provided. The fact of such delay and the causes of it must be reflected in the General Diary entry. (After modification of the judgement done on 05 march,2014)
(viii) Since the General Diary/Station Diary/Daily Diary is the record of all information received in a police station, we direct that all information relating to cognizable offences, whether resulting in registration of FIR or leading to an inquiry, must be mandatorily and meticulously reflected in the said Diary and the decision to conduct a preliminary inquiry must also be reflected, as mentioned above.

Pâté with peppery arugula on sourdough toast drizzled with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and topped with fresh cracked pepper. Add a spritz if lemon juice to add a different freshness factor.
We really do love our arugula, but we make it much less often since we try to cut down on meat and sodium for health reasons. But when we do have it, we S A V O R it and reminisce on why we enjoyed eating it so much: the crispy toasted, slightly still chewy sourdough bread; the fresh, spicy, peppery yet fresh tasting arugula (wild arugula is our favorite- extra peppery and spicy bites); and the pate, oh how I love pate and it's creamy, almost mushroomy and meaty goodness that is amazingly rich and complex in its flavor, but not as greasy or salty as bacon or sausage. It's a perfect home fancy breakfast after a long week.
It's a breakfast you have that feels like you're dining at your favorite brunch place, minus the wait time. Its a good pick me up, especially if you've been home with the kids for a few days when your husband has been working and you've been mostly eating just scraps from their leftovers. Three leftover plates pretty much equals a full meal!
What are your favorite ways to eat arugula? Share you ideas below and I would love to give it a try. Please and thank you! Also, do you have a "fancy" meal that's super easy to make after a long week?

_[Demo and API docs](https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/iron-image)_

##<iron-image>

`iron-image` is an element for displaying an image that provides useful sizing and
preloading options not found on the standard `<img>` tag.

The `sizing` option allows the image to be either cropped (`cover`) or
letterboxed (`contain`) to fill a fixed user-size placed on the element.

The `preload` option prevents the browser from rendering the image until the
image is fully loaded.  In the interim, either the element's CSS `background-color`
can be be used as the placeholder, or the `placeholder` property can be
set to a URL (preferably a data-URI, for instant rendering) for an
placeholder image.

The `fade` option (only valid when `preload` is set) will cause the placeholder
image/color to be faded out once the image is rendered.

Examples:

  Basically identical to `<img src="...">` tag:

```html
<iron-image src="http://lorempixel.com/400/400"></iron-image>
```

  Will letterbox the image to fit:

```html
<iron-image style="width:400px; height:400px;" sizing="contain"
  src="http://lorempixel.com/600/400"></iron-image>
```

  Will crop the image to fit:

```html
<iron-image style="width:400px; height:400px;" sizing="cover"
  src="http://lorempixel.com/600/400"></iron-image>
```

  Will show light-gray background until the image loads:

```html
<iron-image style="width:400px; height:400px; background-color: lightgray;"
  sizing="cover" preload src="http://lorempixel.com/600/400"></iron-image>
```

  Will show a base-64 encoded placeholder image until the image loads:

```html
<iron-image style="width:400px; height:400px;" placeholder="data:image/gif;base64,..."
  sizing="cover" preload src="http://lorempixel.com/600/400"></iron-image>
```

  Will fade the light-gray background out once the image is loaded:

```html
<iron-image style="width:400px; height:400px; background-color: lightgray;"
  sizing="cover" preload fade src="http://lorempixel.com/600/400"></iron-image>
```

| Custom property | Description | Default |

| `--iron-image-placeholder` | Mixin applied to #placeholder | `{}` |

'Mission: Impossible' Release Dates Pushed (Again), This Time To 2023 And 2024
Why Disney Must Wait For Marvel Synergy

'Thor 2' Begins International Rollout: Stronger Starts In UK & France Than First
'Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire' Tracking New November Record: Hot $140M-$150M
According to Rich Greenfield at Pali Research, here are the deals which Marvel currently has, prompting this savvy media analyst to ask this morning, "While we do not doubt the acquisition will ultimately prove successful, it appears that Disney investors may have to wait quite awhile to see the bulk of the synergies that the Marvel acquisition may ultimately yield." Here's why:
"Across film, theme parks, video games and toys, Marvel has already committed to many long-term deals, leaving only Disney's ability to boost Marvel's international consumer products business and to leverage Marvel characters on the Disney XD network, as the more significant nearer term initiatives (in terms of synergies, above and beyond Marvel's organic earnings power). In terms of Marvel's various licensing agreements, [Pali Research was] able to pull together some of the more notable examples, as shown below:
Marvel's current distribution deal with Paramount (Viacom-owned) covers the next five Marvel pictures including Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), Captain America (2011), The Avengers (2012) and Iron Man 3 (2012/2013). Paramount confirmed the films to be produced under their Marvel agreement. These films would all flow thru to Paramount's new pay TV network EPIX, however, all new properties beyond these would likely flow through Disney's output partner (currently Starz).
X-Men property has been licensed to 20th Century Fox (News Corp. owned) while Spider-Man has been licensed to Sony, which seems to have plans for the next three installments. [NF: While the Spider-Man film is only licensed to Sony, Sony is actually half owner of the company that handles all the Spider-Man merchandise. It was put together with Marvel in 2000.]
It appears that Universal Studios maintains geographical rights to Marvel IP for as long as they have Marvel-related rides/attractions at the park (unclear if this also includes merchandise that exists within its parks today). In other words, Walt Disney World in Orlando is unlikely to see a Spiderman/Hulk themed attraction for the foreseeable future. The following excerpt comes from Universal City Development Partners' (owner of Universal Studios Orlando) 10-K: "We have geographical exclusivity east of the Mississippi River with regard to the specific Marvel characters we utilize. The license for the Marvel properties does not prohibit its assignment and is for the duration of our use of attractions themed around Marvel characters."
THQ: Multi-year deal signed in May 2008 for Marvel Super Hero Squad.
Activision: Deal signed Nov 2005 and goes through 2017 for Spider Man and X-Men
Sega: Multi-year deal signed in April 2007 for Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Iron Man
Hasbro 10K: "Subsequent to December 28, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Marvel that resulted in the extension of the current agreement from the end of 2011 through the end of 2017."

Gao, The Resistance of a People - Daily News Egypt
Monday November 25, 2019
Cinema Gao, The Resistance of a People
Gao, The Resistance of a People
Giving people voices to tell their independence stories unscripted
Adham Youssef March 19, 2019 Be the first to comment
"By Your Call Mali" chanted dozens of locals in the city of Gao in northern Mali as they prepared to stage night patrols to defy the rule of the jihadist groups who took control of the city after they defeated the separatists. Kassim Sanogo, in his documentary film Gao, The Resistance of a People, visits Gao and meets with the people who participated in the independence of the city from the 'occupation' of the jihadists.
Before the film credits, the director gives a context by introducing the conflicting sides in the civil war, which a great chapter of it concluded when the jihadists drove the rebels outside of Gao. After the rebels established their power in Gao, the mistreatment and the radical approach of the jihadists started to alienate the local community, until they started a struggle for liberation. The militias which were found to take on the jihadists were not professional soldiers. Nevertheless, he interviews mundane locals, men, women, and young people who felt that their previous alliance with the Islamists was not working.
The interviews that Sanogo conducts are very similar to any interviews done in any area where radical Islamists have passed: banning women from going out, forcing a certain dress code, applying laws that date back to the 7th century, or attempting to destroy cultural heritage, and in this sense the film is relevant to an international audience.
Sanogo visits Gao to see what the reason for the rebellion was. He interviews several individuals who discuss the imposition of Islamic Sharia Law on people and on women. He then starts to meet with the men and women who participate in patrols which were able to drive away the jihadists from Gao.
In the film, it is clear that full agency is given to the people, where they admit that, at first, they sided with the Islamists, but then they started to become alienated from them, which drove them to rebel. Hence the people here are the writers of their own history, and Sanago is only a tool to document this. His film, which is 54 minutes long, documents this resistance by the population of Gao.
Gao, The Resistance of a People, does not fall into the trap of focusing on what happened and ignoring what can possibly take place in the future, so he goes to meet the elder's council which is now in control of the city and is its decision-making body.
The film ought to act as facilitator of national dialogue between north and south Mali as both know the history of the war-torn country, but for an international audience more context is needed.
However, the documentary is very nationalistic, and includes copious rhetoric about patriotism, as well as argues that all people in northern Mali are the same regarding their political sensibilities and their material interests and agendas–which is problematic. The documentary is very enriching when it comes to explaining what happened during the conflict, but does not give context to what is the origin behind this conflict, regarding the interests of different classes, disputes among Islamist groups following the Arab Spring, or the role, or lack thereof, of southern Mali, and finally the position of the west from all of this. The last point is crucial as Mali was colonialised by France and now around 4,500 French troops are coming as 'saviours' to help the locals.
Having said that, the film is important because it tells the story of people who, voluntarily, take to the streets to protect their interests. Yes, nationalism is there, but it is still a story that celebrates human solidarity, and also because violence by jihadist groups has worsened almost every year since it first exploded in 2012, when Islamists and allied Tuareg rebels took over the north and advanced toward the capital Bamako.

Q: Is the complement of the open $B$-orbit in a spherical variety cut out by one equation? Let $X$ be an affine spherical variety for some reductive algebraic group $G$. Let $X^0$ be the open orbit in $X$ under a fixed Borel subgroup $B \subseteq G$. Does there exists a function $f$ on $X$ such that $X^0$
is the same as $\{ \, x \in X \ | \ f(x) \neq 0 \, \}$?
I'm interested in any proof, counter-example or reference.

A: The answer is yes, even if $X$ is not normal. It even works for any connected solvable group acting on an affine variety with an open orbit.
To see this let $Y_1,\ldots,Y_r$ be the irreducible components of $X\setminus X^0$. Since the connected solvable group $B$ acts rationally on the ideal $\mathcal I(Y_i)\subset\mathcal O(X)$ it contains a non-zero $B$-semiinvariant $f_i$. Put $f:=\prod_if_i$ which is also a non-zero semiinvariant. Then $f$ vanishes on $X\setminus X^0$ by construction. On the other hand, if $f(x)=0$ with $x\in X^0$ then $f(X^0)=f(Bx)=\chi_f(B)f(x)=0$ which is impossible since $f\ne0$ and $X^0$ is dense in $X$. Hence $X^0$ is precisely the non-vanishing set of $X$.

Between Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and our Christmas gift shopping, this holiday time finds us bustling around looking for presents for those on our list. You have to admit, it would be easier to just sign everyone up for the "Jelly of the Month Club." But, to tell the truth, I do get caught up in the fun of shopping with my girls and I love buying gifts for my wife. I always get her a few things she needs. An address book or kitchen gadget usually are among my packages. I also like to buy her something she really wants—maybe the handbag she's had her eye on! Then, I love to surprise her with that one gift she did not expect, the one that will surprise her and make Christmas morning one to remember.
When it came time for God to give His gift, He did not have to scramble all over heaven deciding what that gift should be. He chose a gift that all mankind longed for. It was a gift that came as a surprise to many. It was the gift we desperately needed. He gave His Son, Jesus. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…"
God even arranged the gift wrap! Salvation came wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Read about the eternal gift we receive because God gave us the gift of His son! Look up Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8.
Have you received God's gift of eternal life through His son? If so, praise God for your salvation!

I have to say, I hate that "we are in the middle of war-time" for a couple reasons. First of all, I'm not the biggest fan of war or of military forces. Secondly, I think ex-President Bush's proclaimed reasons for starting the war were not well thought through and have only been exacerbated over the years by his haughty, self-serving, frat boy attitude. Thirdly, "war-time" has become this relatively removed experience for all but the growing number of people with loved ones returning severely injured or not at all.
As is the case with every Avocado Jungle topic, this week's topic begins with the familiar four words, "Searching for the truth…". Considering the given subject includes the Iraq War, those four words are particularly significant, because, the truth is readily available for those willing to listen. However, for many, the truth is no match for an oft-repeated lie. Despite this sad and lazy irony, I will continue to fight this uphill battle against those willing to ignore facts in favor of their hearts. Podcast available.

Book Review: Meet Me on Love Lane by Nina Bocci (eARC)
Meet Me on Love Lane
Author: Nina Bocci
Genre: Adult Fiction – Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Gallery Books (Simon & Schuster)
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of On the Corner of Love and Hate comes a romantic comedy about a woman who grudgingly returns home to small-town Pennsylvania, only to find herself falling in love—not only with the town, but with two of its citizens.
Charlotte Bishop is out of options in New York City. Fired, broke, and blacklisted by her former boss, she's forced to return to her hometown of Hope Lake, PA to lick her wounds. Although she's expecting to find a miserable place with nothing to do, she is pleasantly surprised to discover it is bustling and thriving.
She's only supposed to be in Hope Lake temporarily until she can earn enough money to move back to New York. She's not supposed to reconnect with her childhood friends or her beloved grandmother. She's not supposed to find her dream job running the local florist shop. And she's definitely not supposed to fall for not one but two of Hope Lake's golden boys: one the beloved high school English teacher, the other the charming town doctor.
With a heart torn between two men and two cities, what's a girl to do?
A perfect blend of humor and heart, Meet Me on Love Lane is the second in a new series from USA TODAY bestselling author Nina Bocci that is sure to charm fans of Josie Silver and Sally Thorne.
This is the second book in Nina Bocci's Hopeless Romantics series with On the Corner of Love and Hate being the first. While Meet Me on Love Lane can be read as a standalone, the first story does provide more insight into several of the characters who are back for another appearance.
When I first heard that Meet Me on Love Lane was coming out, I was incredibly excited because we were getting Henry's story. Henry was one of my favorite side characters from On the Corner of Love and Hate as the sensitive and brooding English teacher.
Ten year olds Charlotte and Henry were best friends that couldn't imagine life without one another. With Charlotte's homelife collapsing due the poor choices her mentally ill mother made, Charlotte and Henry try to run away so that Charlotte's mom can't take her away from Hope Lake. Unfortunately, they are eventually found. Charlotte is forced to move to New York City with her mother leaving behind her father, grandmother (Gigi), and Henry in her wake. The trauma of leaving combined with her mother's lies forces Charlotte to repress her memories of Hope Lake.
21 years later, Charlotte finds herself fired and blacklisted thanks to a misunderstanding. She can't afford NYC, so she reluctantly decides to temporarily relocate to Hope Lake just until she can find her feet again. Her dad is still the town doctor. Even though Gigi retired from the practice, she is still beloved by everyone in town. All of Charlotte's friends are still there, including Henry…but she can't remember him or what he meant to her. Hope Lake was only meant to be temporary, but what will happen once Charlotte starts remembering her old life again?
Due to the nature of Charlotte's repressed memories, this is a slow-burn romance that really doesn't reveal itself until later in the book. The story mainly focuses on Charlotte immersing herself into the town of Hope Lake and reacquainting herself with the area as well as her Gigi and father. There were definitely times that I felt incredibly sorry for Charlotte because it was evident the effect that her mom's lies had on her even into adulthood. There were also times that I was frustrated with her situation as well. I did love how the community came together to accept her and support her and not judge her for the past.
Overall, this is a truly heartwarming story that is more than a second chance romance. Meet Me on Love Lane is a reminder that we can always return home even in the darkest of times.
Thank you to Gallery Book and NetGalley for providing an eARC for review. This did not influence my review. All opinions are my own.

Allena Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
-- Entered into Agreement with Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) to Support Phase 3 URIROX-2™ Trial and Promote Enteric Hyperoxaluria Disease Awareness –
-- All Clinical Programs Progressing on Track; Expect to Report Initial Data from Study 206 in Second Quarter and Topline Data from Phase 3 URIROX-1™ Trial in Second Half of 2019 –
-- Multiple Catalysts Expected Across Broader Pipeline in 2019 --
NEWTON, Mass., May 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ALNA), a late-stage, biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing first-in-class, oral enzyme therapeutics to treat patients with rare and severe metabolic and kidney disorders, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 and also provided a business update.
"Our progress in the first quarter highlights our position as pioneers in the development of oral enzyme therapeutics for the treatment of rare and severe metabolic diseases," said Louis Brenner, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Allena Pharmaceuticals. "We achieved alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the design of URIROX-2 and on our strategy to pursue an accelerated approval for reloxaliase in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria. We are continuing to enroll our ongoing clinical trials, with a focus on completing enrollment in URIROX-1. In addition, we are pleased to be collaborating with DCRI on URIROX-2 to better promote disease awareness, drive patient identification, and evaluate the health economic impact of reducing oxalate burden in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria, all of which should support the future potential launch of reloxaliase as the first therapeutic for these patients. Looking forward, we are excited to report data from the initial cohort of subjects from Study 206, expected in the second quarter, and topline data from URIROX-1, expected in the second half of the year."
Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones:
Reloxaliase: Reloxaliase is a first-in-class, non-absorbed, orally-administered enzyme for the treatment of severe hyperoxaluria. Allena is currently evaluating reloxaliase in two ongoing pivotal Phase 3 trials, URIROX-1 and URIROX-2, which are designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of reloxaliase in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria. Allena plans to pursue a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for reloxaliase using the accelerated approval regulatory pathway.
Allena is also evaluating reloxaliase in Study 206, a multi-center, open-label, single arm Phase 2 basket study of reloxaliase in adults and adolescents with primary hyperoxaluria or enteric hyperoxaluria with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and elevated plasma oxalate.
In March 2019, Allena announced an agreement with DCRI to support its URIROX-2 Phase 3 clinical trial. Under the terms of the collaboration, DCRI will establish and lead an Academic Coordinating Center (ACC), which, in addition to providing independent oversight and assisting with investigator engagement, will support Allena's ongoing efforts to prepare for the potential launch of reloxaliase. The ACC will contribute scientific expertise and thought leadership to the data analysis and publication strategy, including research on the health economic impact of reducing oxalate burden in patients with enteric hyperoxaluria.
Allena expects to achieve the following key milestones for reloxaliase:
Report preliminary findings from Study 206 in June 2019;
Report topline data from the URIROX-1 Phase 3 clinical trial in the second half of 2019; and
Report topline data from Study 206 in the second half of 2019.
ALLN-346: ALLN-346 is a first-in-class, orally administered, novel urate degrading enzyme that has been designed for activity and stability in the gastrointestinal tract. Allena is completing its preclinical development of ALLN-346 for the treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with gout in the setting of advanced CKD and also scaling its manufacturing processes to support clinical studies.
Allena expects to achieve the following key milestones for ALLN-346:
File an IND application with the FDA in the second half of 2019; and
Initiate the first clinical trial in the first half of 2020.
In April 2019, Allena announced the appointment of Allene Diaz to its Board of Directors.
First Quarter 2019 Financial Results:
Cash Position: As of March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $51.8 million, as compared to $61.6 million as of December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to cash used in operating activities, including payment of the Company's 2018 annual bonus.
R&D Expenses: R&D expenses were $9.1 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred for the URIROX-2 trial, which was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2018.
G&A Expenses: G&A expenses were $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to disease awareness activities, consulting costs and accounting fees.
Net Loss: Net loss was $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, or a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.55, as compared to a net loss of $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, or a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.38.
Financial Guidance:
Based on its current plans, Allena expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital requirements through at least the first half of 2020.

A former town administrative assistant allegedly embezzled more than $98,000 from the town's solid waste authority.
A the former town Democratic Party leader charged with tax fraud after getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in town contracts despite his own considerable tax liens and other financial problems.
The incidents revealed there were few checks on conflicts of interest and nepotism or controls on cash collections. Bosworth is now auditing cash collections from parking meters and fees paid at town beaches.
But the more the supervisor talks about all the problems in the town she took over in 2014, the more questions are raised about the management practices under predecessor Jon Kaiman. He resigned as Town Supervisor in 2013. He also served as the head of the Nassau County Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) and now seeks the Democratic nomination for Congress in the 3rd District. Expect to see the town's problems as a noisy backdrop in the campaign.

Seminal releases litter the back catalogue, from early punk classics to era defining releases by The Smiths and The Strokes. Over the years Rough Trade Records has released an undeniable stream of quality releases by some of the most talented, gifted and unique musicians of our generation.
The label grew out of the Rough Trade Record Shop which opened in February 1976 in Ladbroke Grove, which was inspired by the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, where visitors were encouraged to hang out in the store as much as buy books. Within a year the Rough Trade Shop had become a hub for the burgeoning DIY and punk culture and was the point of contact for a whole host of groups and labels. Releases by The Fall, Scritti Politti, Robert Wyatt, Aztec Camera, Augustus Pablo, early electronic music pioneers such as Cabaret Voltaire as well as The Raincoats, Swell Maps, Go Betweens and The Smiths, amongst many many more followed. In fact, the past 38 years has seen Rough Trade Records become synonymous with high quality, imaginative, musically diverse and innovative independent music.
In 1999, a few years after the collapse of an ambitious Rough Trade distribution arm, Geoff Travis resurrected the label in partnership with Jeannette Lee with whom he'd worked since 1987. Seminal releases by The Strokes, The Libertines, Sufjan Stevens, Antony & The Johnsons, The Hold Steady, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists and British Sea Power to name but a few quickly followed.
Still based in the Ladbroke Grove area of West London where it all started, Rough Trade Records now has offices in London and New York and Geoff and Jeannette continue to work towards helping the music they love get the exposure they think it deserves and to facilitate the artists' growth. With releases by Alabama Shakes, Anohni, Warpaint, Goat Girl, Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker, Sleaford Mods, Parquet Courts, Emiliana Torrini, and Dean Blunt either out now or on the near horizon, the future continues to look exciting, and to push musical boundaries at Rough Trade.

John Robert Somers-Smith (Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, 15 de desembre de 1887 – Gommecourt, Pas-de-Calais, 1 de juliol de 1916) va ser un remer anglès que va competir a començaments del . Morí en acció de guerra durant la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Nascut a Walton-on-Thames, Somers-Smith era fill de Robert Vernon Somers-Smith i la seva muller Gertrude. Son pare havia estat atleta i havia guanyat dues vegades el Campionat AAA de la mitja milla. Somers-Smith estudià a l'Eton College i al Magdalen College de la Universitat d'Oxford. Va ser membre de l'equip del Magdalen College de quatre sense timoner que va guanyar la Wyfold Challenge Cup i la Visitors' Challenge Cup el 1907, i la Stewards' Challenge Cup i la Visitors' Challenge Cup de la Henley Royal Regatta el 1908  Aquella tripulació fou escollida per representar el Regne Unit als Jocs Olímpics de Londres en la prova de quatre sense timoner del programa de rem. Fent equip amb Duncan Mackinnon, Collier Cudmore i Angus Gillan guanyà la medalla d'or.

En deixar el rem passà a exercir d'advocat. Amb l'esclat de la Primera Guerra Mundial passà a servir al 5è Regiment de Londres (London Rifle Brigade), de l'Exèrcit Britànic i fou distingit amb la Creu Militar per la seva valentia com a capità durant la Segona Batalla d'Ieper el 1915. Morí en acció al començament de l'ofensiva de la Batalla del Somme, l'1 de juliol de 1916. El seu cos no fou recuperat del camp de batalla i el seu nom està gravat a la porta d'entrada del Memorial de Thiepval dedicat als desapareguts de la batalla del Somme.

Thoughts on the High-Level Panel Reports on the Post-2015 Agenda
By Susann Roth
The discussions around the post-2015 development agenda – and the work of the High Level Panel of Eminent (HLPEP) persons – were seen controversially in the last months. Some felt that the consultation led by the HLPEP would lead into a kitchen sink report, which would cover every possible development concern.
On May 30, the long awaited High Level Panel report came out.
The discussions around the post-2015 development agenda – and the work of the High Level Panel of Eminent (HLPEP) persons – were seen controversially in the last months. Some felt that the consultation led by the HLPEP would lead into a kitchen sink report, which would cover every possible development concern. Others felt that the HLPEP process was top down with very little opportunity for stakeholders to force the dialogue on contentious topics such as human rights, consumption patterns, illicit financial flows and tax evasions etc.
Frankly, I didn't expect much boldness, particularly not after attending the HLPEP meeting in Bali in March this year. However, I was positively surprised when I read the HELP report. The report provides a stepping-stone to an eventual framework that will build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and will lay ground for an integrated development agenda. This strengthens the linkages of social, environmental and economic development and puts more emphasis on development enablers such as equality, good governance, peace and security. The report is also unafraid to talk about difficult topics such as human rights, climate change, sustainable consumption and production, and illicit financial flows among others.
It sets out 12 universal goals, along with 54 associated targets aiming to translate the ambition of the goals into practical outcomes and development results. At first look the goals remind me very much of the MDGs plus some additions. But actually when you read the more detailed description of the goals area and targets, they are more integrated and linked.
End poverty
Empower girls and women and achieve gender equality
Provide quality education and lifelong learning
Ensure healthy lives
Ensure food security and good nutrition
Achieve universal access to water and sanitation
Secure sustainable energy
Create jobs, sustainable livelihoods, and equitable growth
Manage natural resource assets sustainably
Ensure good governance and effective institutions
Ensure stable and peaceful societies
Create a global enabling environment and catalyze long-term finance.
The much-debated issues of inequality and climate change are mentioned among the six crosscutting issues to be addressed: peace, equality, climate change, urbanization, youth and sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The report also outlines five transformative shifts needed in society to drive the goals and create an enabling environment for achieving targets:
Leave no one behind
Put sustainable development at the core
Transform economies for jobs and inclusive growth
Build peace and effective, open and accountable institutions for all:
Forge a global partnership
So where is the boldness? Do the goals and the transformational shifts remember you of the Millennium Deceleration?
I find the following points most remarkable in this report.
1. The universal and human rights based approach
The MDG framework does not explicitly articulate the 'rights-based' approach to development. It stresses accountability but does not associate this with human rights. The Millennium Declaration, nevertheless, evokes the human rights normative framework, and this and the human development framework can be seen as complementary and mutually reinforcing. There are indeed differences in emphasis between the MDGs and the human rights approach. The human rights framework sees people as 'rights-holders' who can demand the realization of their rights, pointing to the duties and obligations of States defined in international law. The MDGs instead refer to people as 'stakeholders'; and consider states and various agencies to be the 'owners' of socio-economic objectives.
There are also differences in scope. The human rights approach implies identifying the structural, political and social root causes of multi-dimensional poverty. This has advocacy value and can encourage participation and motivate social and political change; but it may not achieve commensurate operational influence. The MDGs, on the other hand, can be seen as less ambitious – promoting 'quick-win' solutions that merely alleviate the symptoms of poverty.
The HLPEP report takes the human rights based approach forward, which shows its ambitions ("zero poverty" as goals) and at the same time integrates a governance component in all aspects of the proposed agenda, which sees people as rights holders and enables them to demand for services and promises made under the new agenda.
2. The emphasis on sustainable consumption and production patterns
The Millennium Declarations highlighted that the "current unsustainable patterns of production and consumption must be changed in the interest of our future welfare and that of our descendants". However this intent was not fully translated into the MDGs.
The HLPEP report stresses the need to change unsustainable consumption and production patterns. The report says that developed countries must lead this.
The report integrated aspects of sustainable consumption and production in various goals areas: in Goal 3 (education on sustainable consumption and production), Goal 5 (sustainable food consumption and production), Goal 7 (production and consumption of energy), Goals 8 (jobs in green growths sectors).
The report also recognizes the link between sustainable development, environment and poverty; thus it lays ground for Open Working Group to work on the Sustainable Development Goals.
3. The data revolution
The report emphasizes on data disaggregation to ensure that no one is left behind and that targets are only considered achieved if they are met for all income and social groups. Although there is no specific goal on inequality, the data disaggregation within all goal areas addresses inequality as a cross cutting issue and ensures that gaps will be decreased. The data demand for disaggregating is huge and will require substantive investments not only in capacity building but also in ICT. Hopefully bringing more attention to data and the use of statistics will also help mobilize more funding for this often-neglected development topic.
Whether or not a global consensus will be achieved on issues such as human rights approach, change in consumption and production pattern, how to strengthen a global partnership remains to be seen in the next months. And much will depend on the work of the intergovernmental body of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals.

The graphic below depicts an approach to help imagine and then design new innovations in learning and knowledge sharing where collaboration technology plays a key role.
The first key step is to look broadly for inspirations – inside and outside of your industry or professional setting – where someone uses networks or communities to learn or share knowledge. Community of Inquiry, for example, is a framework that comes out of higher education but rarely considered for use outside of that setting. Crowdsourcing is not typically viewed as a knowledge-sharing or learning activity, unless we look at something like Open IDEO – which combines crowdsourcing and design process – as akin to problem based learning.
MOOCs, narrating-your-work, personal learning networks and communities of practice are other sources of inspiration. Many more exist if we choose to look for them (hackathons, ask-me-anything events, etc.).
The second key step is to look at each inspiration as a kind of model, something that you could reverse-engineer. How does the design work? What assumptions are being made? What unique challenges had to be overcome, and how does the design do that?
By doing this you can get beyond simply applying an existing model to a new environment. Applying an existing model to a new environment is not a poor choice; it's just limiting. A MOOC inside an organization is still a MOOC.
You can expand your set of potential innovations by hacking together new combinations of design elements that are sourced from a variety of design models.
For example: Both Community of Inquiry (COI) and the design process used by Open IDEO share a common backbone of identifying a complex problem and then seeking out potential resolutions through exploration and testing ideas. But COI also looks at the interplay of teaching presence, cognitive presence and social presence within an online course. Teaching presence includes the design of the course (in higher ed – think syllabus and pedagogy) as well as facilitation.
Might there be a way to design a course based on the crowdsourced design process used by Open IDEO, but which also includes structure and activities to facilitate the social, cognitive and teaching presences to deliver the learning benefits of COI?
Let's say this course must reach 200 people. What do MOOCs teach us about how to scale effectively? And might it be possible to lightly engage a wider network by incorporating some narrating-your-work activities that are visible outside of the 200 course participants?

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I'm Andrea, and most people call me Drea. NamasDre is here because balance is hard; in my life it is a constant struggle. From finding time to develop a career, maintain meaningful relationships, read the book in my purse, explore my home (KC), get to that yoga class, and sometimes just staying upright. Balance. Is. Hard. Sometimes I balance walking eleven miles with pulled pork mac and cheese paired with a lovely cabernet at a soccer game, it's fine.
I've always been a Type A, busy bee, running from one activity to another, trying to do everything perfectly, trying to check everything off the list. Midway through my thirtieth year I realized I was constantly stressed, overwhelmed, and didn't feel like I was contributing as my fullest self. To that end I embarked on a quest to find some chill, to be the best version of me, and, now, to share that with you. The frenzied, Type A, busy bee in me is trying to find my balance. So, the balance seeker in me recognizes the balance seeker in you, namaste.


What do the rarest mammal in the world and a group of Norwich students have in common?
Not much, it would appear - but later this year the creative students will be playing a pivotal role in the fight to keep the animal on the planet.
With just 26 left, the Hainan gibbon - from Hainan, a tropical island at the southernmost point of China - is widely recognised as the rarest primate in the world and believed to be the rarest mammal.
And with numbers now dangerously low, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) turned to animation and visual effects students at Norwich University of the Artsw (NUA), asking them to create images and animations for both Hainan locals and visiting tourists to bring their plight to light.
Saint John Walker, visual effects course leader at NUA, said the approach meant they could tell stories of the gibbons "without the barrier of language, or the risk of disturbing the last surviving Hainan gibbon population".
"It's a direct way to communicate to local communities around the gibbon reserve and to other interest groups about the importance of the species and its habitat, and its cultural significance to the island's population, but also to produce fascinating visuals that can be shown more widely across China to raise awareness," he said.
While the gibbons, known for their distinctive song and recognisable from hair reminiscent of Elvis, play a key part in the history and folklore of Hainan, a combination of deforestation and hunting have brought them to brink of extinction - with the three groups living in 15-square kilometre area of forest.
He said through the work, which will begin later this year, they hope to strengthen the monitoring of gibbons in their reserve, and raise awareness of the unique species.
The primates have been at risk for some time, with visiting naturalists in the 19th century describing them then as rare.
But they were popular among locals - boiling a whole animal for a few days until reduced to a paste was said to produce a potent medicine, while chopsticks made from their arm bones could supposedly test for poison.
Later, the gibbons' forests were chopped down for timber, and to make way for agriculture.
By the 1980s, they were in dire straits, with just a few survivors remaining - but, as rumour has it, they may have been saved by luck.
As one story goes, shortly after a hunter shot one of the last gibbons, his entire family came down with a disease. Killing the gibbons was then seen as bad luck.
The remaining animals clung on at Bawangling nature reserve, but their breeding pool is limited and the lack of population growth threatens their long-term survival.

Q: How do I find a value in a parent key of a specific child in a JSON data set with javascript? How do I find a value in a parent key of a specific child in a JSON data set?
My JSON data looks something like this:
DATA = {
    "result":"Ok",
    "data":[{
        "orderNumber":"Order1",
        "anyKey":"something else",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample1",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"abc 123"
        },{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"def 123"
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"DP2200200-01",
            "testTypeName":"testtype1"
        }]
    },{
        "orderNumber":"Order2",
        "anyKey":"something",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyKey":"something",
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"test2",
            "testTypeName":"testtype2"
        }]
    },{
        "orderNumber":"Order3",
        "anyKey":"something",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample1",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"xyz 123"
        }]
    }
]}

I need a way to search for string (like abc) inside item123 and return the OrderNumber belonging to it. So far I did look it up by
  let keyword = "abc"
  let mydata = DATA.data.find(order => order.samples.find(sam => sam.item123.includes(keyword)));
  if ( typeof mydata == 'undefined') {
    document.getElementById("orderNumber").innerHTML = "nothing found :-(";
  } else {
    var myOutput = mydata ["orderNumber"];
    document.getElementById("orderNumber").innerHTML = myOutput ;
  }

This works fine as long as the child has the item123, so it works for Order1 but fails for Order3, because Order2 does not have the item123. However some sets don't have this property.
Another drawback is that it only finds the first occurrence. How can I find all occurrences and return the associated sampleNumber as well?

A:
How can I find all occurrences and return the associated sampleNumber as well?

I assume that means you want an array containing (say) objects with those two properties.
You just need nested loops and optional chaining:
const results = [];
for (const element of DATA.data) {
    for (const {item123, sampleNumber} of element.samples) {
        if (item123?.includes(keyword)) {
        //         ^−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− optional chaining
            results.push({item123, sampleNumber});
        }
    }
}

If you can't use optional chaining in your environment yet, you can just do a truthiness test:
        if (item123 && item123.includes(keyword)) {

Live example:

const DATA = {
    "result":"Ok",
    "data":[{
        "orderNumber":"Order1",
        "anyKey":"something else",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample1",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"abc 123"
        },{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"def 123"
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"DP2200200-01",
            "testTypeName":"testtype1"
        }]
    },{
        "orderNumber":"Order2",
        "anyKey":"something",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyKey":"something",
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"test2",
            "testTypeName":"testtype2"
        }]
    },{
        "orderNumber":"Order3",
        "anyKey":"something",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample1",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"abc 123"
        }]
    }
]};
const keyword = "abc";

const results = [];
for (const element of DATA.data) {
    for (const {item123, sampleNumber} of element.samples) {
        if (item123?.includes(keyword)) {
            results.push({item123, sampleNumber});
        }
    }
}
console.log(results);
.as-console-wrapper {
    max-height: 100% !important;
}

(Note that I added the keyword to a second element in there so you could see all of them being found.)
You can also do it with map and flat (though not, sadly, flatMap as we need a depth greater than 1):
const results = DATA.data.map(element =>
    element.samples.map(({item123, sampleNumber}) =>
        item123?.includes(keyword) ? {item123, sampleNumber} : []
    )
).flat(Infinity);

...but I wouldn't. Harder to read, harder to debug, and involves creating unnecessary temporary arrays. Still, some folks like that kind of thing, so...
Live example:

const DATA = {
    "result":"Ok",
    "data":[{
        "orderNumber":"Order1",
        "anyKey":"something else",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample1",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"abc 123"
        },{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyOtherKey":"something",
            "item123":"def 123"
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"DP2200200-01",
            "testTypeName":"testtype1"
        }]
    },{
        "orderNumber":"Order2",
        "anyKey":"something",
        "samples":[{
            "sampleNumber":"sample2",
            "anyKey":"something",
        }],
        "tests":[{
            "testNumber":"test2",

const filteredData = DATA.data.filter(d => d.samples.find(s => s?.item123?.includes('abc')));

You can then extract the value you need. Here i am extracting orderNumber.
const orderNumbers = filteredData.map(fd => fd.orderNumber);

You can even use flatMap instead of filter and map to filter and extract in the same loop.


(Beijing) — Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., one of the country's "Big Five" state-owned commercial lenders, had a much higher bad loan ratio last year for its loans to privately owned companies than it did for its broader portfolio of corporate loans, though it promised to continue lending to the credit-starved firms.
At the end of last year, Agricultural Bank's nonperforming loan (NPL) ratio for loans to private companies reached 6.37% — which was 4 percentage points higher than its ratio for the entire corporate sector, Vice President Wang Wei said Friday at a press conference for the bank's annual report. The ratio was also much higher than the lender's overall NPL ratio of 1.59%.
The higher NPL ratio for the bank's loans to private companies illustrates the complications that banks face meeting the central government's demand to lend more to the private sector, where bank loans have often been hard to come by in China.
Last year, Beijing began urging commercial banks, particularly the biggest state-owned lenders, which have long favored lending to state-owned enterprises and real estate developers, to increase lending to the private sector and small businesses as economic growth has slowed.
That call has sparked concerns that the quality of banks' assets could deteriorate going forward. The average NPL ratio for loans to small and micro companies ranges from 2% to 3%, higher than that for corporations in general, according to a February report by China International Capital Corp.
At the press conference, Tian Jimin, general manager of Agricultural Bank's risk management department, said the bank has the ability to continue bringing down the its absolute amount of NPLs, as well as its NPL ratio.
Agricultural Bank's outstanding loans to private companies stood at 1.67 trillion yuan ($250 billion) at the end of last year, accounting for more than a quarter of its outstanding corporate loans, Wang said.
At the end of last year, more than 67,000 private sector companies had outstanding loans from Agricultural Bank on their books. That figure was up 60% from a year earlier, according to the bank's annual report.
At the end of 2018, Chinese banks' outstanding loans to private sector companies reached 42.9 trillion yuan, accounting for 47.4% of their entire corporate loans, according to a report (link in Chinese) by the People's Bank of China.
The "Big Five" state-owned banks, including Agricultural Bank of China, should increase the amount of outstanding loans to small and micro companies with credit lines of less than 10 million yuan by more than 30% this year, according to a notice (link in Chinese) issued by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) in March. At the end of last year, outstanding loans to these companies reached 9.4 trillion yuan, up 21.8% year-on-year, CBIRC data showed.
