Composers go in and out of fashion at the drop of a baton, but George Frideric Handel's name stays steadily on the list of Top 5 classical composers. His monumental choral work ''The Messiah'' ensures it.
One of his later operas, ''Xerxes'' (pronounced ''Zerk-sees'') is rarely produced, and hardly any complete recordings exist, despite the fact that it contains one of Handel's best-loved melodies. The tune is known as Handel's Largo, and generations of voice students have sung it in the original Italian as ''Ombra mai fu,'' an ode to, of all things, a tree.
Handel (1685-1759) was thoroughly immersed in Italian opera's dramatic themes and musical forms by the time he settled in England in 1712. He was also influenced by the cult of personality that grew up around celebrated male sopranos, many of whom were castrated as young boys to keep their high voices. Such singers were known as castrati. (The practice fell out of favor by the mid-19th century.) To perform Handel's operas today requires transposing the songs down into tenor or bass range, asking a tenor to use his falsetto range, or using a female soprano dressed as a man.
The latter option was taken by director Stephen Wadsworth and conductor Craig Smith for the Boston production. Lorraine Hunt made a regal King Xerxes, portraying him with a stern jaw, a boyish pout, and royal effusion. Hunt made the most of her breeches-and-waistcoat role to revel vocally in the part of a lovesick king who forces his attentions on the woman who loves his brother.
In ''Xerxes,'' Handel breaks with the Italian stand-and-declaim style and goes for character and comedy. The lonely king, his banished brother, the resolute fiancee, her scheming sister, and the goofy servant all come out of situations familiar from Italian and Shakespearean comedy.
Singers in the Boston Lyric production had an excellent grasp of Handel's baroque adornments. The music became swift daggers of emotion in the singers' hands. One hopes that, when the current Boston production ends on Sunday, more opera companies will take it up.


What you need to do is select the best Hormone Test Kit. Selecting the Best Cortisol Test Kit is important. Testing for hormonal imbalances is the first step to get better as one needs to know what is really the cause of anxiety and other symptoms. I did ask western doctors to test for this but they were reluctant and continued to push the nasty Ativan and other dangerous prescription medications. So I finally ordered and took a cortisol test from Test Country. Below are some they offer.

Home Columnist Laporte will be missing one more month due to hamstring injury
Laporte will be missing one more month due to hamstring injury
The French defender picked up another untimely knock against Real Madrid and will be stuck on the sidelines again before the end of March.
Aymeric Laporte is facing up to another month on the sidelines at Manchester City with a hamstring injury, Pep Guardiola has shown.
The French defender left the area in tears after picking up an untimely knock during a 2-1 victory for the Blues over Real Madrid in the first leg of a heavyweight Champions League last-16 experience.
He finds himself back on the treatment table consequently, having already sat out a huge portion of this 2019-20 campaign.
City fought for consistency throughout Laporte's earlier lack, using a key man ruled out just four matches into the present Premier League season.
He wasn't seen again until January and has managed just four additional outings before being laid low once more.
Guardiola concedes he is likely to be without Laporte until late-March, meaning he is going to be unavailable for the Carabao Cup closing, an FA Cup fifth-round clash with Sheffield Wednesday, a derby date with Manchester United, the return leg of a meeting with Madrid and a visit to Chelsea.
The City boss told reporters when offering an upgrade on Laporte: "It is a hamstring injury. Normally it's three weeks or a month. We try to prevent it but it's happened. At times, it happens.
"I imagine it's tough and you must work hard. Life isn't easy and always on the planet the folks who survive are people who cope with the terrible moments. It's what it is. Accept it, work hard to return as soon as possible."
While Laporte will be limited to a watching brief against Aston Villa in Wembley on Sunday, Guardiola is excited about chasing down another piece of big silverware.
He explained: "It's so tough to attain a final, so being there again it's a terrific achievement. Hopefully, for the lovers we can win it.
"The result of the of last day is past and today we concentrate on the final. It's not the same competition with a historical team. I think it is going to be a wonderful game."
Guardiola, whose City side are chasing down a third consecutive Carabao Cup victory, added on the advantages of going into another big game on the back of a notable win over Madrid: "Obviously it's better.
"It's far better to go to perform a closing following a fantastic result in Madrid but we can't live a last thinking how great we were.
"Madrid isn't done first of all, constantly I've thought it is incredibly tricky to succeed at big clubs but it's harder to beat them twice.
"Big clubs can lose 1 game but two? It doesn't come often. However, it helps us so football is all about emotion and it's far better to play with a final with the personality."

Port Arthur, Texas
Mardi Gras Event has been moved to Beaumont, Texas
Port Arthur is located 90 miles east of Houston on the gulf coast of Texas.
Port Arthur is the namesake of Arthur E. Stilwell who platted the 1895. He envisioned Port Arthur as a resort, as a port City and as the terminus of the railroad he would eventually build linking Port Arthur to Kansas City.
John W. "Bet-A-Million" Gates, gained control of the Stilwell interest and built a rice mill in Port Arthur in 1900. He spent $1.4 million to dredge the Port Arthur ship canal then ceded it to the federal government for one dollar. This transaction was completed by Congress' designation of Port Arthur as a port of entry, and by 1914 it ranked as the twelfth largest port in the United States and the second largest refining port. Today Port Arthur is the home of three major refineries and still the important terminus of the Kansas City Southern railroad. The town of a mere one thousand souls in 1900, has grown to almost 60,000 with a diversifying economy to sustain Port Arthur's growth into the twenty-first century.

Air Macau posts turnover of 3 billion patacas in 2006
Macau, China, 24 Jan – In 2006 Air Macau posted revenues of 3 billion patacas and transported a record number of passengers and cargo, the company's chief executive said in Macau Tuesday.
David Fei said that it was too early to talk about results and added that although 2006 had been a good year for the company, "we perhaps have not managed to turn a profit in 2006."
In 2005 Air Macau posted a loss of 25 million patacas.
Last year, Air Macau transported 2.46 million passengers against 2 million in 2005, and Fei forecast that this year the company would transport 2.8 million passengers.
Next May and June, Air Macau is due to receive two new aircraft which will make it possible "to open new routes or increase the frequency of existing routes," with Asian destinations the main priority.
In the Chinese New Year, the company plans to increase its number of flights by over 50 percent, with those extra flights carried out to Taiwan, Shanghai, Shenzhen and the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Toyama. (macauhub)

A popular photography trend that has taken shape over the past few year, in part thanks to Instagram, is low saturation photography. By reducing saturation you can start to achieve a vintage or dreamy look to your photos. You can achieve this look several ways — one being in-camera but the most popular is in post production via programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom.
Check out this post to see how to use Photoshop to achieve some of these low saturation looks, Create Amazing Images with Photo Designer.
Today I'd like to show off a collection of low saturation photography pieces to inspire you and give you a few fresh ideas for future photo shoots!

Peruvian Ministry of Economy and Finance approves Code of Ethics and Conduct
Peru's Ministry of Economy and Finance has approved a new Code of Ethics and Conduct as part of its efforts to combat corruption and promote ethical principles and moral values.
The Code was co-developed by ministry officials with technical assistance from SECO-funded Public Finance Management programme implemented by the Basel Institute on Governance in Peru.
The aim of the Code of Ethics and Conduct is to offer guidance on correct (and incorrect) behaviour, based on the example shown by public servants who demonstrate ethical behaviour in their daily work.
As the entity responsible for public finances in Peru, it is commendable that the Ministry of Economy and Finance is taking the lead in collaboratively developing tools to promote integrity. This Code of Ethics and Conduct is an important step in transforming the organisational culture of public bodies towards a culture of ethical and efficient behaviour.

This post is sponsored by Stonyfield Yogurt, although the opinions in this post are my own.
These Gingerbread Cheesecake Squares is the perfect dessert for your holiday party!
Enjoy these Gingerbread Cheesecake Squares that is topped with a white chocolate mousse.
So, we have three days left until we open our gifts and celebrate Jesus's birthday. We have had a lot of fun with our Christmas parties, Christmas tree light ups, visiting Santa Claus, and cookie baking. The holiday season is a magical time. Pretty much, from the 1st of October until the end of the year is a magical time. It is the best time of the year for me! I know I have been stuffing your eyeballs with Thanksgiving meal options, my Snickerdoodle Cookies, and who knows what I am going to make for the New Year, but know this all comes from the heart. I want you to enjoy yourself as much as possible before we all go sugar-free at the top of the year. Or, at least, try to go sugar-free. Well, I have one last holiday treat to share with you that is amazing, delicious, and made with Stonyfield Yogurt.
These Gingerbread Cheesecake Squares is a treat that I imagine would be enjoyed at a Christmas party or an easy dessert to make as an option for your holiday dinner. The best part of these Gingerbread Cheesecake Squares is the White Chocolate Mousse topping. When you start off biting into the cheesecake square, you will the deliciousness of the White Chocolate Mousse topping and the spice from the Gingerbread Cheesecake. It is the perfect combination of flavors. To make the cheesecake smooth and decadent, I used Stonyfield Organic Yogurt. In most cases, sour cream is used in cheesecake recipes. However, in this case, I decided to use Whole Milk Stonyfield Organic Yogurt. It has fat and is the same consistency as sour cream, just without a lot of the bad stuff that comes in sour cream.
Yogurt is a very versatile ingredient that can be used in salad dressings, dessert toppings, cakes, and sauces. Stonyfield has an awesome selection of yogurts as they have Whole Milk, Plain Greek Yogurt, Plain Yogurt, and yogurt in various flavors. Here is a collection of recipes and ideas that I have made using Stonyfield, and please have a Happy Holiday!
These Gingerbread Cheesecake Squares are rich and silky made with Stonyfield Organic Yogurt and topped with White Chocolate Mousse.
Line a 9X13 rectangular casserole dish with aluminum foil and spray lightly with baking spray.
Using a food processor, add the graham crackers and pulse until fine. Pour in the melted butter while pulsing. Pour the graham cracker crust in the baking dish and evenly pat down tightly and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy using a handheld mixer or a standing mixer. Slowly add the eggs one at a time until well mixed. Add the yogurt and molasses until creamy. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, ground ginger, and cinnamon. Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the graham cracker crust. Bake in a preheated oven on 350 on the middle rack and back for 60-70 minutes. Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and place in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
In a separate bowl, cream the cream cheese and slowly add the cooled white chocolate until creamy. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until it begins to form soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat again until stiff peaks forms.Fold in the cream cheese and white chocolate mixture into the whipping cream until there are no streaks. Spread the mousse on top of the cooled gingerbread cheesecake squares. Place back in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Cut into 12-16 squares or as desired.

Q: Javascript `filter` + `reduce` VS `reduce` + `if` Object.entries(obj).reduce((acc, [key, value]) => {
  if (someCondition(key, value)) {
    acc[key] = value;
  }
  return acc;
}, {});

Object.entries(obj)
  .filter(([key, value]) => someCondition(key, value))
  .reduce((acc, [key, value]) => {
    acc[key] = value;
    return acc;
  }, {});

The above two blocks do the same thing: create a copy of obj with some properties removed based on someCondition.
Which way is preferred and why?

A: It always depends.
With the first case - reduce with condition inside - you'll loop your dataset just once.
Second case gives you two loops (second works on limited dataset) but the code is much more readable and operations are separated (filtering / modifying data).

A: I would prefer either the completely imperative approach
function filterProperties(obj, predicate) {
    const res = {};
    for (const key in obj) {
        const val = obj[key];
        if (predicate(key, var))
            res[key] = val;
    }
    return res;
}

or the completely functional approach
function filterProperties(obj, predicate) {
    return fromEntries(Object.entries(obj).filter(entry => predicate(...entry)));
}
function fromEntries(entries) {
    const res = {};
    for (const [key, val] of entries) // using `reduce` is not much of an advantage here
        res[key] = val;
    return res;
}

Strongest synthetic drug methadone superior to the effects of heroin, and imported to Kazakhstan for treatment of drug-dependent patients should add to the list №1 prohibited for use for medical purposes. About this deputy of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan Meruert Kazbekova told in her deputy's request addressed to the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Karim Massimov, reported BNews.kz.
More than 800 students and adults, "armed with" objects of visual propaganda, went to mass, the busiest places: bus stops and public transports. The past campaign called "Healthy bus." Perhaps booklets and posters are not good enough for help, but when it is given by teens and they tell to adults what you should pay attention when communicating with your children for not to miss possibly emerging challenges, it is better than any high-profile appeals. And the action participants asked questions about the attitude of adults to various harmful habits.
Civil servants, students and law enforcement officers will be tested for drugs during the screening activities in Kazakhstan, said the director of the Republican Scientific and Practical Center of medical and social problems of drug addiction, Chief Narcologist of Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan - Altynay Eskalieva. "Some changes will be made into the orders of the Ministry of Health to conduct testing for drugs to certain categories of citizens", - said Altynay Eskalieva on Tuesday during a TV bridge Astana-Moscow to mark the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.


Hey everyone. I've had a game in the works based off of Super Mario War for a while, but i've had homework and other games to work on, and I kind of forgot about it for a bit. This was originally a collab with someone else, but we lost contact. I wanted it to have a level editor and multiplayer mode, but at this rate, i'll get lucky if I even get 50 official levels on it. Here it is so far, maybe 10% complete.
This is obviously a platformer. The main point of the game is to collect the Star from every level. As you can see from the demo, I don't yet have the Star even in it yet. -.- There will be a timer, and the goomba right now will be replaced by the goomba from SMW1.8, and I will also add red koopa and green koopa. There will be at least 50 different levels to play in, all different difficulties. You will get points based on how fast you finish a level. The 50 levels... well, I was going to make some of them, but I might also take levels that you create. The levels will all be 24 blocks tall by 32 blocks wide. You can use any tiles from SMW1.8, or even ones from 1.6 and 1.7.
Since all of the sprites I am currently using for this game are from Super Mario War v1.8 Beta 2, I will need to put the creators of those sprites in the credits. Who were the people who made SMW 1.8Beta2? Or should I put in everyone that is shown on the start page of that game?
features which were added to 1.7.
to make the game better.
bugs and have suggested tons of features.
add it in a hurry.
As you can see that list is quite dated -- many others including myself contributed in one way or another to the official package.
I just played your game (the first time I mentioned trying, input was not recognized and the goomba kept killing me.) Quite a hard level for a first level (small spaces to walk next to spikes, a goomba that freely walks on those spikes, having to bounce off of him to make it across the first jump, requiring a crouch slide to reach the message block, requiring a crouch jump to beat the level -- in all pretty... different level design (I do understand this is a placeholder level/tech demo).
Thanks Felix. Finally got back here to post.
As you can see, no real title page yet, only the game. Not sure how to make a level creator, but i'll try to make it work.
Thanks for the list of helpers, I think i'll just put "We thank Samuele Poletto, Florian Hufsky and all of 72dpiarmy for helping make this game a possibility!", if that's OK with all of you. I wish I could do more to put this site back on the map, but for now, i'll try to finish this before July or August 2012.
Updated. Lava glitch fixed (if you were big and jumped in the lava, you froze but did not die). Coded red koopa so it would stay on ledges, but travels too far off (used !hitTest, don't know any other way). Added 3 other tiles. Next, I will try to add the cape and the timer item, as well as add a win dialogue if you get the star.
Star Tower is on hold until Late July or August. Currently attempting a MOTS (Multiplayer Online Tank Shooter). If that works out, I may make a multiplayer editor with Super Mario War tiles, something like the game Everybody Edits. However, Star Tower should still be done by 2013 at the latest.
UPDATE: Computer hard drive failure. Spent all this time redoing all my games. I'll be working on this game for the next couple months, I should have the start page, level select page, and 50 working levels soon.

The Hear Her campaign
The Hear Her campaign is an example of national maternal mortality prevention efforts. We are working with the CDC on national efforts to collect better data and reduce perinatal mortality.
About the Maternal Mortality Review Panel and Review Process
The Department of Health (DOH) carries out the Maternal Mortality Review as directed in the Maternal Mortality Review Law (RCW 70.54.450). The Secretary of Health appoints participants to the Maternal Mortality Review Panel (MMRP). The Panel is made up of perinatal health professionals and health equity experts across Washington State from diverse disciplines and backgrounds.
Panel members are invited to participate in a multi-level maternal mortality review process and to serve as expert clinical or subject advisors. The review process is designed to be educational, respectful, and prevention-oriented. It includes a strong focus on improving health equity and addressing racism, discrimination, and bias.
The MMRP reviews deaths of people who died during pregnancy or within a year after pregnancy. For each case, Panel members examine a variety of deidentified records, including information about hospitalizations, vital statistics, medical records, and autopsy reports. Documents and data collected for the maternal mortality review process are confidential; the Panel is prohibited from releasing any information that could identify individuals.
The MMRP determines which deaths were pregnancy-related and preventable. From these cases, the panel makes recommendations to prevent similar situations from happening again. Every three years, the MMRP and DOH prioritize recommendations for a report to the state legislature.
Findings from the 2019 Report: Review of Maternal Deaths, 2014-2016
The Department of Health will submit a report to the Washington State Legislature in early 2023, summarizing findings from deaths through 2020. That report will be available here. The most recent report summarizes findings from deaths through 2016.
Washington State Maternal Mortality Review Panel: Maternal Deaths 2014-2016 October 2019 Report (PDF)
The Washington state Maternal Mortality Review Panel (MMRP) successfully reviewed maternal deaths from 2014–2016 and with the Department of Health published a legislative report of findings. The Panel developed six recommendations and activities for implementation to help reduce preventable maternal deaths and improve perinatal care for all people in the state. These recommendations are included in the report. The report and recommendations were submitted to the health care committees in the Legislature in October 2019.
The findings of the report include:
Maternal mortality rates in our state have remained steady since the 1990s. As of 2014–2016, rates are not increasing as they are nationally, but they are also not decreasing.
The review of maternal deaths from 2014–2016 identified 100 pregnancy-associated deaths. These are deaths that occur during pregnancy or within one year after pregnancy, from any cause.
The Panel determined that in 2014–2016, there were 30 pregnancy-related deaths. These are deaths that occurred during pregnancy or within one year after the end of pregnancy from a pregnancy complication, a chain of events initiated by the pregnancy, or the aggravation of an unrelated condition from the physiological effects of pregnancy.
This report includes findings on pregnancy-related deaths that resulted from behavioral health conditions such as overdose and suicide. When compared to national pregnancy-related mortality rates published by the Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System at the Centers for Disease Control, Washington state ranks about 17th in the United States with a pregnancy-related mortality ratio of 11 deaths per 100,000 live births.
The Panel determined that at least 60% of the pregnancy-related deaths from 2014–2016 were preventable, meaning we still have work to do.
Panel Recommendations to Reduce Maternal Mortality
Based on findings from 2014 to 2016, the MMRP developed recommendations to help reduce preventable maternal deaths and improve health care for people before, during, and after pregnancy. The recommendations were to:
Address social determinants of health, structural racism, provider biases, and other social inequities to reduce maternal mortality in priority populations.
Support active engagement by birthing hospitals, licensed birth centers, and perinatal providers in quality improvement efforts that reduce the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity.
Ensure funding and access to postpartum care and support through the first year after pregnancy.
Increase access and reduce barriers to behavioral health and community support structures from preconception through pregnancy and the first year postpartum.
Increase and improve reimbursement for behavioral health care from preconception through all phases of pregnancy and the first year postpartum, including screening, treatment, monitoring, and support services.
Increase knowledge and skill of providers, patients, and families about behavioral health conditions during and after pregnancy, and the treatment and resources that are available for support.
Implementing MMRP Recommendations
Since publication of the 2019 report, DOH and its partners have been working on implementing recommendations. Here are some examples.
Centers of Excellence for Perinatal Substance Use
According to the CDC, the number of women with opioid-related diagnoses documented at delivery increased by 131% from 2010 to 2017. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), which is managed by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, published data from 2017 showing that approximately one baby is diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) every 19 minutes in the U.S, or nearly 80 newborns diagnosed every day. The number of babies born with NAS increased by 82% nationally from 2010 to 2017. Increases were seen for nearly all states and demographic groups. According to 2018 HCUP data, Washington State has a rate of 9.8 per 1,000 of NAS among newborn hospitalizations.
The Maternal Mortality Review Panel (MMRP) found that opioids were involved in the majority of pregnancy-associated accidental overdose deaths from 2014-2016. The Panel subsequently recommended implementing evidence-based protocols and patient safety tools and guidelines that address this and other leading causes of death among pregnant and postpartum Washingtonians. In response to the Panel's findings and recommendations, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), Health Care Authority (HCA), and Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) collaborated to create the Centers of Excellence for Perinatal Substance Use (COE).
The COE is a voluntary certification program open to birthing hospitals in Washington state. The purpose of this program is to recognize the vitally important role birthing hospitals and care providers play in supporting people who are pregnant and have a substance use disorder and to promote systemic improvements to our perinatal practices.
To become a Center of Excellence, birthing hospitals must meet eight criteria. The criteria, along with instructions on how to apply, are found on the Centers of Excellence webpage.
A pilot program launched in October, 2021, with 13 hospitals enrolled in the AIM Bundle: Obstetric Care for Women with Opioid Use Disorder. DOH, in partnership with the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) launched the SUD Learning Collaborative in April 2022. This program supports hospitals' efforts in becoming a Center of Excellence. The COE program is funded through the ERASE MM grant awarded from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Maternal Behavioral Health Mini Grants
Findings from the 2019 report show one of the leading underlying cause of death among pregnancy-related deaths were behavioral health conditions, including suicide and overdose. Some contributing factors to these deaths include lack of knowledge about behavioral health conditions, treatments, and resources, as well as stigma and bias related to behavioral health conditions.
The Maternal Behavioral Health Mini Community Grant opportunity focused on the Maternal Mortality Review Panel's recommendation to "Increase knowledge and skill of providers, patients, and families about behavioral health conditions during and after pregnancy, and the treatment and resources that are available for support."
Funds for these community grants were made available through the ERASE MM project, awarded to DOH by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the Preventative Health Services Block Grant; the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant; and the Maternal Infant Health Opioid Legislative Funding.
Maternal and Behavioral Health Funding Grantees 2021–2023
Community Birth Center
Overview: To decrease disparities and address the role of behavioral health in the maternal and infant mortality crisis, they will conduct (1) bi-weekly gathering spaces for antepartum and postpartum families fostering a community model of maternal and newborn wellness check-ins and support for perinatal mental health, and (2) racial bias training and accountability network for perinatal providers to establish and shift foundational cultural understandings necessary to provide unbiased, culturally competent care.
Overview: Address perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) among parents of infants needing care in the NICU through (1) increasing PMAD knowledge and skill among NICU providers through virtual education modules, (2) educating NICU families about PMADs and available resources, and (3) improving PMAD screening during infants NICU course.
Overview: Implement a Perinatal Support Pathway (PSP), a first-line support for perinatal people with mild-to-moderate behavioral health concerns, through (1) educating perinatal care providers in Whatcom County about perinatal behavioral health, effective screening, and referral to PSP, and (2) implementing PSP by training peer providers in an empirically supported intervention called Listening Visits.
First Five Fundamentals
Overview: Conduct three activities that build upon their existing work and increase perinatal support services for Spanish-speaking and Black and African American families by (1) increasing availability of Group Peer Support groups; (2) increasing health provider awareness of and capacity to address PMADs; and (3) increasing community partner and family awareness of PMADs and the community resources available to support families via social media marketing.
Providence Health Care Foundation
Overview: Support the Maternal Medication-Assisted Treatment (MMAT) program by (1) providing outreach and education to physicians about the MMAT program; (2) strengthening eat-sleep-console community referral program; and (3) implementing TeamBirth, which places emphasis on shared decision making throughout the labor process.

Expansion of the Law
Washington state's maternal mortality law gives the Department of Health the authority to obtain pertinent vital records, medical records, and autopsy reports related to maternal deaths. The law also provides protections for those records and for the panel members who participate in the review. This authority and protection allowed the Department and the Panel to determine which deaths were preventable and identify the issues that lead to preventable deaths.
In 2019, Washington state expanded the law to support and strengthen the maternal mortality reviews conducted by the Maternal Mortality Review Panel. The law was amended to permanently establish the Panel and the maternal mortality review process in Washington. Other changes included:
Requiring tribal representation.
Expanding representation to include all types of obstetric, perinatal, and women's health medical, nursing, and service providers, as well as individuals or organizations that represent populations most affected by maternal mortality and lack of access to maternal care.
Data related to the maternal mortality review can be shared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local health jurisdictions, regional maternal mortality review efforts such as American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology District VIII, and tribal entities.
Access to records from the Department of Children, Youth and Families.
Requiring hospitals and birthing centers to make good faith efforts to report deaths that occur during pregnancy or within 42 days of pregnancy to the local coroner or medical examiner, who will then conduct a death investigation with autopsy strongly advised. Counties will be reimbursed 100 percent for autopsies. (For more information on reporting and death investigation requirements, see Resources below.)

Q: Backbone js view for entire html document I want to make a view for html document inside an iframe. For something like:
<div id="some">
    <iframe id="other" />
</div>

I want to dynamically load an html document received from server into this iframe. The problem is, that I want to use Backbone View for that document. If I do something like this:
var projectView = Backbone.View.extend(
{
    tagName: 'html',

    initialize: function()
    {
        this.model.bind('sync', this.render, this);
    },

    render: function()
    {
        this.$el.html(this.model.get('content')); // content is from model, and it
        //receives the html document from server
        return this;
    }
});

Then, when I do:
var iframe = $('#other')[0].contentWindow.document;
iframeDocument.open();
iframeDocument.write(projectView.render().el);
iframeDocument.close();

It does not work. I tryed a lot of different combinations but no success. If I use document.write() with static html it works fine but how to do with backbone view and dynamic content?

A: The "el" property is a reference to an HTML object. You're passing it into a document.write() call when that function is actually expecting an HTML string. Which is why static HTML works for you.
So you'd probably want to do something like this:
iframeDocument.open();
iframeDocument.write(projectView.render().el.innerHTML);
iframeDocument.close();

A: I think your approach is unnecessarily complex and using backbone isn't buying you anything useful. Why don't you just set the iframes src attribute with the model's content URL and be done with it?
render: function()
{
    this.$el.attr('src', this.model.url()); //Or whatever you need to get the right URL
    return this;
}

A: There is no reason to use an iframe.
You can just replace the iframe with a div and it will render every time your sync event is triggered.
You can also use on instead of bind for the event.
var projectView = Backbone.View.extend(
{
    tagName: 'div',

    initialize: function()
    {
        this.model.on('sync', this.render, this);
    },

    render: function()
    {
        this.$el.html(this.model.get('content')); // content is from model, and it
        //receives the html document from server
        return this;
    }
});

and then just put the view into a container
$('#some').html(projectView.el);

you may have to remove some unnecessary content(ie. <head> tags) from the model whenever it syncs

This small village, situated in the southwest of France, has everything you could look for in a book town, with sunshine, flowers and good wine as a bonus!
It all started in 1991, when book sellers decided to set roots there. A museum of arts and books soon followed and the old paper mill was brought back to life. As a result, inns and restaurant started to open and nowadays this town sees about 52.000 booklovers every year.
You will find old and new books but Montolieu is most renowned for the ancients and precious books hidden away in packed, tiny bookshops. If you are the lucky owner of a rare edition in need of some help, you might want to go see some of the best book doctors there.
If you don't speak French, don't worry about it, most bookshops have foreign languages sections. And in any case, you won't need to read or talk French to enjoy the excellent food you will also find there!

A frog in a teapot, a lost necklace and a sabotaged boat: incongruencies that lead an unlikely hero to investigate a chilling murder in Regency England.
Grieving after the death of his younger brother, Hugh Castle, the Earl of Monnow, finds evidence to suggest it was not an accident, but a failed attempt to kill him. He vows revenge, planning to take advantage of the rumour that he is also dead to uncover the murderer. But Hugh doesn't count on meeting another desperate adventurer, Helen Archer. She has lost the fabled Peckham Necklace at Hugh's home, Ormsby, and risks censure if she doesn't find it. So together, Helen and Hugh hatch the perfect plan. They will masquerade as servants to gain access to Hugh's grand house and accomplish their missions in secret. Unfortunately, it is more limiting to work as servants than they thought, and their plans soon go awry. Increasingly attracted to Helen, Hugh finds it difficult to protect her from the unknown danger stalking the grand halls of Ormsby, and ultimately, he must decide if his heart's desire is truly revenge, or love.


We are the Marquis', Norman & Eunice, and have lived in Old Orchard Beach for around 30 years. After managing property for many of those years (including motels), we were fortunate to acquire The Crosswinds Motel and Cottages in March 2000.
During our first seven years on East Grant Avenue, Norman ran the motel complex by himself, while Eunice operated Coastal Awards, their other business. In November 2006, that business caught fire burning it to the ground and, thereby, allowing Eunice to join Norman in running the motel complex.
This property does not run all by itself. We have two much needed maintenance personnel and a supervising head housekeeper. In the summer we also employ housekeeping staff from different countries. They are housed on site, but most hold two jobs in the area to meet their obligations. It is a great experience for the students as well as for the entire staff.
Over the past eight years, many, many improvements have been made to the property, which gives the cottages and cabins a more homey atmosphere and the motel units have the feel of a bed and breakfast, so say our guests. We attempt to make everyone feel as if this is their home away from home.
Above all, the new and returning guests are our most important asset. Many of these guests have become close friends over the years, and we treasure those many memories and look forward to many new ones in the future.

Twenty-five years ago, while attending the National Association of Education of Young Children (NAEYC) conference for the first time, I became interested in the male perspective of teaching young children. It was during this conference that I found myself drawn to presentation topics given by men in early childhood education. While the issues presented about young children were parallel to those that women presented, there was something unique about the demonstration style and the message carried by the male speakers. Even more significant, my thinking was altered as I looked around and realized that I was a minority among this sea of men! How grateful I am for having experienced this moment for it has become monumental in my work with male students who choose early childhood education as a profession.
Reflecting upon my emotions during those meetings, I recall a sense of inferiority and exclusion which paralyzed me from speaking out. I also felt a tinge of guilt for previously using my male colleagues to help me with unruly children or move heavy boxes. However, I realized that no matter what the circumstance, I, as a woman, was accepted, without question, for what I taught in my classroom. Whether it was my teaching practices or activities such as block play, a woodworking center, or rough and tumble play, I did not have to defend the how or the why because I was a female.
I will forever be indebted to one of the male early childhood students, Joe, in the ECE program. During one conversation with him, Joe was candid about what it was like to sit in the undergraduate classes filled with women and taught by one of four female faculty members. Joe gave examples of instances that made him uncomfortable. These included; the referral of teachers as 'she', asking him to pull down the projector screen because of his height, or requesting that the men move the heavy boxes used during class. This honest conversation between Joe and me, was the turning point that showed me how my own biases were blinding and limiting. This changed my perspective on teaching.
Thus, I began to examine attitudes of female early childhood women toward male early childhood teachers. It is apparent in any school setting that there are certain women who like to work with men and others who do not. I have observed this phenomenon over the years at this public institution. For example, twenty-five years ago there were three male faculty members in the early childhood department but I watched as seasoned female faculty wore them down until they ended up pursuing jobs at other institutions and in other professions. I am not certain about the history of those women's attitudes nor what they believed an early educator should look like but undoubtedly, it did not include welcoming male teachers in the early childhood field. I assume that the male faculty were hired to satisfy a 'diversity' requirement for the institution however, the lack of support of these men or any diverse population in a predominately white university impacts the retention as well as recruitment of the population.
When I think about myself, I must admit that I do like men. I like to work with them and appreciate their style of leadership. The men I have worked with and worked for, have a keen sense on how to call a spade a spade. They also have the ability to address an issue and move forward, not harboring the fact. In contrast, some women I have worked with and alongside of, seem to begrudge, retaliate, and harbor differences between us. Perhaps the ease of my relationship with men has something to do with my history and my relationship to my father. I suppose that could be something a therapist would be better able to tell me but the aspects of my own father's character were his straightforward attitude, his ability to redirect through example and guidance, his integrity, and honesty. These are attributes I seek to find and refine in the male students currently enrolled in the early childhood education program.
Through our men's student organization, the MEN in education Facebook page, and the research I do will continue to support male students by connecting them to other strong men who model the dispositions of honesty, integrity, and a passion for teaching young children.
Our guest speakers: Dylan, Matt, and Adam did a great job expressing their passion for children through the experiences and their time at UW-Stout. They all felt that it can be stressful and complicated while making it through the program but ultimately feel prepared once they started their student teaching placements.
For those attending the meeting, their message brought reassurance of the impact we can have in the classroom. They shared endless stories of how simple daily conversations with students as well as the lessons learned through observing the cooperating teacher can impact teaching. The willingness of these guys to help those of us through the rest of the program who may have questions and concerns as we all begin to think about student teaching and passing benchmarks is appreciated.
Serving as advisor to these three presenters since their freshman year has given me a chance to get to know of their honesty and integrity and to support them in their journey. As these men shared about their experiences at the university, and as student teachers, and spoke of their excitement to be graduating in May and finding a job, well, it is no wonder that I continue to find happiness and contentment being a woman in a sea of men.


(d) live outside a prescribed part of Ontario but receive the ticket inside a prescribed part of Ontario.
Regardless of where you live or receive a certificate of offence you are entitled to issue a notice of intention to appear under s. 5 or s. 5.1.
If you give notice of an intention to appear and fail to appear at the time and place appointed for the hearing, under s. 9, you are deemed not to dispute the charge and a justice shall examine the certificate of offence and shall without a hearing enter a conviction in your absence and impose the set fine for the offence if the certificate is complete and regular on its face.
The justice shall also quash the proceeding if they are not able to enter a conviction.
However, s. 9 is subject to s. 6, 7 and 8, thus s. 9 only applies to prescribed parts of Ontario as s. 6 refers to prescribed parts of Ontario.
Section 9.1 applies to people issued a certificate of offence outside a prescribed part of Ontario but it only applies to people who have given notice of an intention to appear and then fail to appear.
If you are issued a certificate of offence outside a prescribed part of Ontario and you do not give notice of an intention to appear at all, the court has no jurisdiction under the POA to hold a trial or issue you a notice of trial as no provision applies to people who have not given notice to appear.
Section 9.1(2) articulates that if subsection 9.1(1) applies, section 54 does not apply, thus if s. 9.1(1) does not apply then s. 54 does.
Therefore, if a person does not give an intention to appear their trial is under s. 54.
A trial's time and place is not scheduled under s. 54 until an accused gives notice of intention to appear under s. 5. And a trial cannot be scheduled unless an accused issues a notice of intention to appear, as articulated in s 5(2).
Bear in mind, s. 5 and 5.1 do not apply if a summons is issued, they only apply if a notice of offence is issued. Also be mindful that s. 5 articulates that you may give notice of intention to appear; it does not state you shall give notice. Section 5(2) states the court will only issue a notice of trial where a notice of intention to appear is received; it does not say a notice of trial will be issued whether or not a notice of intention to appear is received by the court.
Thus, if a notice of offence is issued, but not a summons, then the court is statute barred from holding a trial unless the accused foolishly issues a notice of intention to appear.
Section 9 allows the court to deal with the matter for those inside a prescribed part of Ontario and where at least fifteen days have elapsed after the defendant was served with the offence notice and no notice of an intention to appear has been served to the court.
But s. 9.1 deals with people outside a prescribed part of Ontario and provides no such time limit for commencing a proceeding and the POA makes no reference to those persons who do not serve notice of an intention to appear. The POA only refers to those that do serve a notice to appear.
Section 54 provides no such time limit for commencing a proceeding; makes no reference to those persons who do not serve notice of an intention to appear; and does not declare the accused shall be deemed not to dispute the charge.
Another killer defence brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood lawman!
5. (1) A defendant who is served with an offence notice may give notice of intention to appear in court for the purpose of entering a plea and having a trial of the matter by so indicating on the offence notice and delivering the notice to the court office specified in it. 1993, c. 31, s. 1 (2).
(2) Where an offence notice is received under subsection (1), the clerk of the court shall, as soon as is practicable, give notice to the defendant and prosecutor of the time and place of the trial.
5.1 (1) This section applies in such parts of Ontario as are designated by regulation. 1993, c. 31, s. 1 (3).
(2) Section 5 does not apply where this section applies. 1993, c. 31, s. 1 (3).
(3) A defendant who is served with an offence notice may give notice of intention to appear in court for the purpose of entering a plea and having a trial of the matter by attending in person or by representative at the court office specified in the offence notice at the time or times specified in the offence notice and filing a notice of intention to appear with the clerk of the court. 1993, c. 31, s. 1 (3); 2006, c. 21, Sched. C, s. 131 (3).
(4) A notice of intention to appear shall be in the form prescribed under section 13. 1993, c. 31, s. 1 (3).
(5) If a defendant files a notice of intention to appear under subsection (3), the clerk of the court shall inform the defendant and the prosecutor of the time and place of the trial.
6. (1) Where an offence notice is served on a defendant whose address as shown on the certificate of offence is outside the county or district in which the office of the court specified in the notice is situate, and the defendant wishes to dispute the charge but does not wish to attend or be represented at a trial, the defendant may do so by signifying that intention on the offence notice and delivering the offence notice to the office of the court specified in the notice together with a written dispute setting out with reasonable particularity the defendants dispute and any facts upon which the defendant relies.
(b) where the dispute does not raise an issue that may constitute a defence, convict the defendant and impose the set fine.
(3) Where the justice directs a hearing under subsection (2), the court shall hold the hearing and shall, in the absence of the defendant, consider the evidence in the light of the issues raised in the dispute, and acquit the defendant or convict the defendant and impose the set fine or such lesser fine as is permitted by law.
(4) This section applies in such part or parts of Ontario as are prescribed by the regulations.
7. (1) Where an offence notice is served on a defendant who does not wish to dispute the charge but wishes to make submissions as to penalty, including the extension of time for payment, the defendant may attend at the time and place specified in the notice and may appear before a justice sitting in court for the purpose of pleading guilty to the offence and making submissions as to penalty, and the justice may enter a conviction and impose the set fine or such lesser fine as is permitted by law.
(2) The justice may require submissions under subsection (1) to be made under oath, orally or by affidavit. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, s. 7.
8. (1) Where an offence notice is served on a defendant who does not wish to dispute the charge, the defendant may sign the plea of guilty on the offence notice and deliver the offence notice and amount of the set fine to the office of the court specified in the notice.
(2) Acceptance by the court office of payment under subsection (1) constitutes a plea of guilty whether or not the plea is signed and endorsement of payment on the certificate of offence constitutes the conviction and imposition of a fine in the amount of the set fine for the offence.
(b) where the certificate of offence is not complete and regular on its face, the justice shall quash the proceeding.
(2) Where a defendant is deemed to not wish to dispute a charge under subsection (1) in respect of an offence under a by-law of a municipality, the justice shall enter a conviction under clause (1) (a) without proof of the by-law that creates the offence if the certificate of offence is complete and regular on its face. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, s. 9.

Thousand Foot Krutch - Oxygen: Inhale
August 24, 2014 By Lee Brown in Reviews | Comments closed
Artist: Thousand Foot Krutch
Album: Oxygen: Inhale
Label: Independent (Fan-funded)
Release Date: 08.26.14
Reviewer: Lee Brown
Like a Machine
Untraveled Road
Set Me On Fire
I See Red
Thousand Foot Krutch has been a revolutionizing force in music for over a decade now. From their amazing breakout albums Set It Off and Phenomenon all the way through their recent resurgence with The End is Where We Begin TFK has proven to be a fan-favorite, and with good reason. Although the boys from Canada seemed to hit a bit of a slump around their 2007 release The Flame in All of Us, they proved undoubtably that they are still more than a force to be reckoned with their 2012 album. Having blended several nuances of rock, rawk, hard rock, pop, and hip-hop across their now eight proper albums as TFK – not to mention their work as pop-punk side-project FM Static – the boys in Thousand Foot continue to earn their mettle with each passing release in new and diverse ways. So, when we come to 2014's fan-funded Oxygen:Inhale fans knew before they laid down their kickstarter money that there was no telling what to expect from the brothers from the Great White North, only that it would be worth it.
If there were a recipe used to cook up Oxygen:Inhale, I would say it is roughly two heaping cups of The Art of Breaking, one cup FM Static, and one cup The End is Where We Begin, with just a dash of Manafest, a pinch of Lynard Skynard, and a splash of Carrie Underwood (yep!) for seasoning. Now, that recipe may sound like a bit of a chaotic mess. Truly, in lesser hands, it would have turned into a complete jumble! However, switching from a baking analogy over to a gardening analogy; what makes Oxygen:Inhale work is the band's ability to hold tight to their core sound while also allowing for their branches to grow wide.
Oxygen:Inhale is not a perfect album. It does suffer from a lack of overarching cohesiveness in style, even while pulling off the mixture I mentioned above quite nicely. It will also likely be a bit of a shocker for those having just come off an addiction to the raucous The End is Where We Begin to find this new album so much more mellow and subdued (save for a few raucous tracks near the start). However, this album grows on you more and more with each listen. Truly, it may even provide deeper waters than their popular 2012 outing.
In this respect, I have to compare it to The Art of Breaking. When that album came out in 2005, I really didn't know what to think of it. It was a bold style change from its predecessor, Phenomenon, which was then (and still is to this day) one of my favorite albums. It was also a much bolder palette, utilizing a rawk sound mixed with some older rock elements and high falsettos. In the same way, The End is Where We Begin is haled as TFK's best modern album. Oxygen:Inhale finds itself following that album in the same way The Art of Breaking followed Phenomenon. The similarities are apt, even striking, as this new album even switches up the sound palette for a more laid-back rawk-infused sound (very raw rock in nature with an intentional focus on being production-light), frequently utilizing Trevor's higher vocal range.
It is also more immediately apparent how Trevor's musical partnership with Carrie Underwood (who came out and sang with TFK on-stage during WinterJam this past year for a one-off appearance) has influenced both the writing and style of the album. Trevor and Carrie are working together on a country act entitled Two Story Road, for those who did not know. In this, much of Oxygen:Inhale comes across as Americana rock in the vein of Lynard Skynard (or, as TFK has described it, Americana by way of Toronto) with some shared country roots. That is to say, there is no distinct "twang" to be found, or the old "lost my dog, lost my wife, lost my truck" aspect, but when you hear lyrics like, "there's nothing left but the sound of my heart, there's nothing left but the strings on this guitar," ("I See Red") you do immediately tend to think more Taylor Swift than TFK.
Still, Oxygen:Inhale has quite a bit of meat to chew on. In fact, paralleling our need for God to our constant need for oxygen in our lungs, O:I becomes one of TFK's most devout albums ever made. Wanting to produce more of a raw rock feel in both sound and lyricism, O:I is honest, exposed, and unafraid. Songs like "In My Room," picturing a broken young person who wants to reach out to God, but is overwhelmed by His immensity, asking Him "could you meet me in my room, a place where I feel safe," are truly holy moments. In fact, not since the song "Lift It" have I heard TFK produce such blatant love songs to God. "Set Me on Fire," "Light Up," and "Oxygen" all seem to belong in this hallowed category and all inspire a deep passion, yearning, and reaching out to our loving Father in powerful ways. "Untraveled Road," and "Glow," in similar fashion, are inspirational and faith-affirming to the core. They take the faith expressed in the previous set of songs and put real flesh on them.
For those wanting the more raucous TFK, "Born This Way" (especially) and "Like a Machine" provide that barn-burner element that are sure to be the opening tracks to any upcoming concerts. In fact, "Born This Way," while intentionally empty in meaning (when compared with tracks like "In My Room"), is one of the more infectious songs I've heard in recent memory. It's catchy, it's got some great guitar licks, and it would certainly be a "Guitar Hero/Rock Band" favorite, were those respective series still around.
The album begins with "Like a Machine." As mentioned above, this track is more raucous. It feels very much like The Art of Breaking era TFK, and works as something of Lynard Skynard rock with some of Trevor's rap-rock stylings thrown in. The song is not overly deep in the lyrical sense (at least on the surface), but it certainly works as a great concert song to get the crowd chanting.
My favorite track on the album is actually "Untraveled Road." Holding closer to a lighter-toned version of what was found on The End is Where We Begin, "Untraveled Road" begins to show the seriously spiritual depth offered on this album. The theme of being set apart and taking the road others fear to travel blend nicely with the spiritual theme of lighting up the darkness and "waking sleeping giants." The phrases "light shines brighter in the dark… we walk where no one wants to go on this untraveled road" paint a beautiful word picture of our calling to go and impact even the darkest the world brings through Christ's light and love.
"Born this way," is the prototypical "Americana (by way of Toronto) Rock." From the screaming guitars at the outset, to the cadence and rhythm Trevor gives his vocals, the listener immediately feels a bit like he is hearing a new rendition of a 70's rock track. The key distinction, of course, would be the blend of rap-rock vocals that set the track apart from the old style. Lyrically the track is fairly self-aggrandizing and slightly empty, but dang is it a fun song (see the embed, below).
"Set Me on Fire" begins to slow things down just a half a notch as the album starts to trend closer to FM Static territory, musically. As mentioned above, this is a great love song to God akin to the band's "Lift It" from way back in the Set it Off days. One minor quibble is found in the fact that the lyrical repetition feels more akin to a direct worship-formatted album as opposed to the more worship-by-way-of-rock sound of tracks like "Lift It." or "Breathe You In." That said, "Set Me on Fire" is a beautiful and devoted track that, like the album itself, has grown on me with each listen through.
"Give it to Me" returns back to the Americana feel of "Born This Way," only toned down a notch from that more high energy and faster paced track. This is a great example of where Trevor plays in the higher end of his range, vocally. The theme of the song seems to be God offering to take our hurts and baggage if we would just simply give them over to Him. This is also another track where a Guitar Hero play through would be rather fun, were this just released in its heyday.
"I See Red" feels very akin to the style (both musically and lyrically) employed during the Phenomenon era of TFK… at least at the outset. I have come to divide this song in two. The first half of the song (roughly) is exactly what is mentioned in the last sentence (and makes me both very happy and very nostalgic). The second half of the song, however, is the aforementioned switch over to a more Taylor Swift styled "there's nothing left but the sound of my heart, there's nothing left but the strings on this guitar." This is not to say that the song is poor. In fact, I have come to like it quite a bit, but that one line seems to stick out like a sore thumb.
"Light Up" is distinguished by the persistence of a high falsetto used throughout. In terms of style choices, I think that this could have been used a little more sparsely. My wife, while listening to this in the car with me, even described it as a little whiny-sounding. While I wouldn't go that far, it certainly has a little higher range at times than I think should have been used as a constant. To his credit, however, Trevor's voice holds that range rather well. Lyrically the theme of "I light up when I see you," could easily be interpreted by the listener as a romantic feeling towards the opposite sex; however, in the context of the rest of the album's theme, seems to be another great love song to God moment.
"In My Room" is a brilliantly honest look at a broken soul coming trembling before a holy God. The lyrics are beautifully stated and brutally real as the soul yearningly sings out, "I'm not sure if this is a good time, or even if You're home, it's a long long way from Your throne, but can You meet me in my room, a place where I feel safe." I am repeatedly bowled over by the poignant vulnerability this song presents from both the lyrical and musical standpoint. And, though it is certainly not one of TFK's typical party-starter sort of tracks, "In My Room" may be one of the best songs the band has produced in the latter half of their amazing career.
A similar thing could be said for "Oxygen," which continues to boldly and specifically name God as our source of life, while simultaneously admitting a very real and continuous need for Him just as we need oxygen in our lungs. Just as "Lift It" remained a favorite worship song of mine for around a decade, I could easily see "Oxygen" being a favorite in modern worship settings. As with "Set Me On Fire," the style is closer to a worship style with a little heavier repetition given to the main chorus.
The album closes out with "Glow." Much as "Untraveled Road" opened up the main theological discourse of the album, and "Set Me On Fire," "In My Room," and (especially) "Oxygen" present an increasing devotion to God, "Glow" reaffirms that seeking and yearning while catalyzing the message that we only glow when we are lit up by God Himself. "So burn me bright or let me go, make me stronger on the inside. Hold me tight or just let go, cause I don't want it if I can't glow." In terms of that blend of styles I mentioned in the opening paragraphs, this is where the Carrie Underwood influence is most directly felt. The song ends with a very distinct country music style about it.
Musicianship: Oxygen: Inhale is a much more stripped back album than what TFK has ever produced. Intentionally eliminating many production elements so that the album feels like it is just the instruments, the vocals, and you, forces the ear to hone in on the amazing talent the band has to display. Stylistically, the album also moves nicely between TFK's more rap-rock and rawk styles, but also adds in a healthy dose of Americana rock and even a little country twang.
Lyrics/Spiritual Content: While the band has always included a healthy thread of faith through their albums, complete with complex spiritual themes and a outright love for Jesus, it has rarely been as outspokenly displayed as it is here. While each album would feature a song in the vein of "Lift It," Oxygen: Inhale is more direct than anything the band has produced. In fact, tracks like "Untraveled Room," "In My Room," and "Oxygen" are some of the most devoted tracks the band has ever produced.
Lasting Value: I mentioned in the opening paragraphs how this album reminds me quite a bit of The Art of Breaking, and I feel that is very apt. My first impressions of O:I were not overly strong. This parallels my experience with The Art of Breaking when that album first came out. However, the longer I spent with The Art of Breaking, the more I grew to appreciate and even deeply enjoy it. The same journey has happened with Oxygen: Inhale. While I fully expect many listeners to have a colder reception to this album at first (especially those won over by The End is Where We Begin), I also know that if they spend a little time with it, it will grow on them in powerful ways. I know our friends at JesusFreakHideout had the opposite happen, but I can say with joy that this album has grown more meaningful for me with each listen.
Overall: Canadian rockers Thousand Foot Krutch follow one of the greatest albums of their career with a more somber and devoted set of tracks that strip back all the hype and production and dare to be incredibly exposed and vulnerable. With a more Americana, classic rock, or even a more "raw" rock vibe, Oxygen: Inhale brings ten tracks that are unafraid to explore both brokenness before God and utter dependence on Him. O:I may not be as immediately accepted as 2012's The End is Where We Begin, however, I argue that there are possibly even deeper waters to be found here.

In addition to the two brigades, the division headquarters will also be located in the Gaza Strip. Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi and the Chief of General Staff together with the head of the Shin Bet complete the assessment of the situation and prepare for a variety of scenarios. The IDF sees Hamas responsible for a rocket fired from the terrorist organization in Rafah and refuses to say whether the shooting was a mistake.

Seven people, six of them members of one family and the neighbor's daughter, were injured when a rocket fired from a distance of 120 kilometers in the Rafah area hit a house in Moshav Mishmeret in the Sharon region. "Sources in the defense establishment said that the missile was not intercepted because it was not possible to do so.
This is how the destruction at home in Sharon looks
At around 5:20 AM, alarms were heard throughout the Sharon area. A few seconds later there was a loud explosion – and then it turned out that a rocket directly hit the building in Moshav Mishmeret in the Sharon and led to its collapse. Among the injured was a 60-year-old woman who was moderately wounded with the injuries to the sheet, minor burns and shrapnel injuries. And six lightly wounded, including a 30-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy, and a half-year-old infant.
Damage caused. View from above
Initial findings indicate that the missile did not explode when it hit the roof, but exploded only after penetrating into the ground. The forces are digging the remains to determine the type of missile fired. At the same time, police terrorists are searching the demolished building for the remains of the explosive head for intelligence purposes and to prevent a larger explosion when the building is demolished. On the orders of engineering officials, several bulldozers were brought to the scene in order to destroy what remained of the house. The family in the hospital received the news on the subject. Property tax officials are in the field and estimate the damage.

According to reports, the landlady was the only one who did not arrive at the time in the shelter and was therefore more severely injured. In addition to the house that was hit, several vehicles and other houses were also damaged. "The Israel Police is prepared all year round and we are prepared for all the developments around us. We searched the house to make sure there were no more casualties," said a police representative who arrived at the scene. Some of the residents of the moshav who were walking around the house said that they woke up in terror and thought at first that it was a siren experiment. "We did not believe it would come here," they told the news reporter.
Dr. Yaron Mushkat of Meir Hospital: "We received six casualties, six of them from one family, grandparents and parents and their two small children, and another 9-year-old girl, the neighbor's daughter, was evacuated. One of the older women with back injuries, but her condition seems to be light. "
"All the houses here in the area have been hit by a shrapnel, I do not know what a missile it was, but it was really serious," said a resident of the town who was hit. "I am only a citizen, but I have to change the government in my opinion." The IDF did not give special instructions to the residents.

""I came to the House as a real deficit hawk, but I am no longer a deficit hawk. I'll tell you why: I had to spend the surpluses. Deficits make it easier to say no.
—Rick Santorum[1]
"Starve the beast" is a political phrase of American mintage, referring to a strategy to terminate the existence of that noted right-wing bugaboo, big government. It is most closely associated with writer and political strategist Grover Norquist, although it is said to have come from an anonymous Ronald Reagan staffer.[2]
3 Cato Institute on starving the beast
""The Great Society had a real chance to grow into a beautiful woman. I figured she'd be so big and beautiful that the American people couldn't help but fall in love with her…but now Nixon has come along and everything I've worked for is ruined…She's getting thinner and thinner and uglier and uglier all the time. The American people will refuse to look at her; they'll stick her in a closet to hide her away and there she'll die. And when she dies, I, too, will die."
—Lyndon B. Johnson, 1970[3]
The reasoning goes something like this: Cutting taxes will decrease government revenue, thus forcing similar cuts in government spending. With less money to spend, the government will be forced to shrink, thus crippling its attempts to infringe upon the rights of sovereign American citizens by such underhanded means as enforcing the law; with the government out of the way at last, a utopia will be born, just like in the good old days.
Unfortunately for this pipe-dream, it would appear that when taxes are cut, and the hated big-government policy of "tax, tax, tax; spend, spend, spend" is no longer workable, there is another policy allowing the government to get lots of money to spend, viz., "Borrow, borrow, borrow; tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow."[4] This strategy has the advantage of letting politicians have their cake and eat it too, but it also has the drawback of producing very large deficits, which hopefully do not have to be dealt with until after the politicians in question have retired.
In the summer of 2001, during the first months of the George W. Bush administration, a bill was passed that slashed taxes for almost all taxpayers, but especially those in the upper tax-brackets. Proponents of Reaganism cheered this on as the start of a new era of starving the beast. Then along came 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the coverage of prescription drugs under Medicare; just as in Reagan's presidency, the national debt nearly tripled. Whoops!
A more recent example of starving the beast is the set of rules put in place in the House of Representatives by the new Republican majority, which is called "Cut-Go," short for "cut as you go." Under this policy, all new spending must be balanced by a cut in some other spending, but a tax cut does not have to be balanced by raising some other tax, because Laffer curve, duh.
Cato Institute on starving the beast[edit]
Even the Cato Institute thinks that "starving the beast" is a stupid idea; and when that noted libertarian think tank argues against some plan for tax cuts, one may immediately conclude that something is seriously wrong with said plan.[5]

If you realize you're at a point in your research that you need to use an archive the first thing you need to do is figure out which, if any archive, will hold the records you need.
Because archival collections are, strictly speaking, collections of one-of-a-kind, original documents (artefacts), it follows that they'll only be found in one place (with a few exceptions of copied artefacts).
This post is the first one to help you figure out which archive to go to for your research, starting with an overview of areas of responsibility between municipal, provincial, and federal jurisdictions in Canada. And since I'm most familiar with the archives in my home-town of Vancouver and my province of British Columbia (BC), I'll be using many examples from these repositories.
Hang on – this stuff gets dense!
The majority of archives fall under the jurisdiction of some level of government – whether municipal, provincial, federal in Canada – or some other division of power in the country whose records you are seeking.
You'll need to know which level of government is responsible for what in order to know which archive will hold the records you want to look at.
For example, you'll find the administrative documents that were used to run the various departments of the Vancouver's city government from the date of incorporation (April 6, 1886) at the city of Vancouver archives.
These will include records created by the city's departments, committees, and councils including police, fire, planning, engineering, parks, city manager, etc.
At provincial-level archives you will find administrative documents that were used to run all the various councils, committees, and departments of the provincial government from the date of formation of that province.
In British Columbia the provincial archives is now officially called the British Columbia Archives and Records Service (BCCARS) .
The records at BCCARS includes those created by departments that have carried out responsibilities that fall under BC provincial jurisdiction, as determined, with some exceptions, by federal law.
In a nutshell, here are the areas of responsibility of provincial governments in Canada. Bear in mind that division of responsibility have changed over time so you may need to do some preliminary research to ensure you are looking in the right archive for the time-period you are researching.
municipalities (in BC, Vancouver is its own legislative entity called the Vancouver Charter). Other municipalities in the province have their powers and responsibilities but these are legislated under the BC Municipal Act.
For federal government records, on the other hand, you will need to consult with the National Archives of Canada (officially called Library and Archives Canada) to find records that fall under Federal jurisdiction.
If you (brave researcher) want to delve further into this, here is the link to an article from the Canadian Encyclopedia about the division of power between the Canadian federal government and the provinces.
For countries other than Canada – comparable divisions apply but you will have to determine that from your own governmental websites.
