Q: Get image content from httpResponse in Android Am trying to get a image from a http response, but am failing to convert the stream to bitmap.
Please let me know, what am i missing here.
FYI - the image content is received as raw binary & its a jpeg image.
Procedure followed:

*

*Make HttpRequest.

*In response check for 200 -> get the httpentity content.

*convert the stream to bitmap using BitMap factory.

*Set the bitmap to imageview

Doing this in postExecute of the AsyncTask
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(endpoint);
    // Adding Headers ..
    // Execute the request
    HttpResponse response;
    try {
        response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
    if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {
        // Get hold of the response entity
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        if (entity != null) {
        InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
        return instream;
        // instream.close();
            }
    }
}

Doing this in postExecute of the AsyncTask
    if (null != instream) {
        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
        if(null == bm){
    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
        "Bitmap is NULL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            toast.show();
    }
        ImageView view = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.picture_frame);
    view.setImageBitmap(bm);
    }

Thanks in Advance.

A: Finally found the answer for this. below is the snippet - might help for the newbees working with http responses.
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(endpoint);
// Adding Headers ..
// Execute the request
HttpResponse response;
try {
    response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200) {
    // Get hold of the response entity
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    if (entity != null) {
    InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
    String path = "/storage/emulated/0/YOURAPPFOLDER/FILENAME.EXTENSION";
    FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(path);
    int bufferSize = 1024;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
    int len = 0;
    while ((len = instream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        output.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    output.close();
}

Instead of saving the file to disk, we can have the contents in the bytearray and get the bitmap from that.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int bufferSize = 1024;
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
int len = 0;
try {
    // instream is content got from httpentity.getContent()
    while ((len = instream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
    baos.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    baos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(b, 0, b.length);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.picture_frame);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);

FYI - In android fileoutput stream writing to local disk have to be done in non UI thread(have used async task in my case & that part is not added here).
Thanks ..

A: Use this library to work with images from web. https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader
It does everything for you.
But the code from onPostExecute you should put to onDoInBackground.
onPre and onPost execute codes will be executed on main thread, doInBackground is the worker thread.
But just use universal image loader in this case

The Engineer and I had the opportunity to hunt a gorgeous, heavily wooded piece of private farm land last weekend that belongs to family friends. We had never been to the property before, so we went Saturday afternoon to get a feel for the lay of the land. It was miserably hot out, the ticks were swarming, and we heard not a single cluck, gobble, or yelp.
We were feeling rather defeated about the whole situation when on the way out we spotted a turkey across a dried up creek bed. Too far away to take a shot, especially with my backpack on and an awkward bag of decoys falling all over the place. The difference between public land, heavily hunted turkeys and mostly left to themselves private land turkeys became very clear when instead of sounding alarms and sprinting off…..this turkey just sorta wandered into a thicker wooded area all while continuing to pick for snacks along the way.
A hot and sweaty trudge up a hillside lead us back to the farmhouse on the property. Just as I crested the top, I turned South to look out over the view of the valley and the Missouri River in the distance. My picturesque view was jolted back to reality when 3 turkeys went flying out of a cedar tree probably 50 yards away. The birds were clearly in the area, we just needed a better plan and some luck!
I'm not a morning person, and 4:30 comes real early. Small consolation is that it's no longer freezing outside, so you can actually sit around comfortably, even when it's dark outside. We drove out to the farm and wandered down to the place we had seen the turkeys the afternoon before. Mostly unbeknownst to us, we set up right in the middle of the turkeys roosting lair! Do you know what it's like to listen to a far off group of roosted birds gobble in the distance, and then to hear deafeningly loud gobbles that can only mean you're almost directly below the flock?!?! It's amazing! It will send chills of excitement all down your spine, and you will finally understand why they call it "Spring Thunder"! Imagine the video below, but with more gobbles and much closer…..up in a tree and slightly to your left about 40 yards away!
Ugh, I so wish The Engineer and I were the kind of people who filmed our hunts. But we aren't, and mostly we are still trying to learn how to hunt turkeys. I just wish I even had some audio to share about how amazing the gobbling was the other morning. Alright….back to the turkeys.
Loud flapping sounds and rapid clucks soon signaled the descent of the birds from their nighttime roosts. The Engineer was sitting to my left, and had a clear view of the flock as they regrouped near the top of a small hill. I looked out the blind to my right in time to see a single bird fly down about 40 yards away from the blind. We called and waited as two hens from the left and the single bird from the right joined up together straight out from the blind about 30 yards. I have sat in the blind with an arrow nocked every time we've been out, but I've never had a reason to clip my release onto my string, but these birds were finally giving me a reason! The lone bird ended up being a jake, or young male bird, and he would have been legal to shoot. The problem was, he was so small…..even smaller than the two hens, that by the time we could 100% tell he was a jake…..I didn't have a clear shot.
At the time we didn't worry too much about not taking a shot at the jake……there were 4 large, puffed up tom turkeys on the crest of the hill, and we were determined to move them towards us! No reason to shoot a young, small bird when there are bigger and better options on the hill! We were sure that our calling and our decoys would bring the big guys down the hill. After all, we could hear them drumming, which research has told me is a good sign. It's breeding time after all, and no self respecting tom is gonna let his ladies get stolen by another bird.
We didn't budget the toms down the hill, but we did aggravate the lead hen. Slowly, a group of at least half a dozen hens pecked and walked past the blind out at about 30 yards. Taking up the rear end of the train was the lead hen….I think. In any case, she was the only bird to acknowledge our decoys, and she was none to pleased about it. She trotted on over to our hen decoy and proceeded to get all up in her face, and annoyed with our decoys general presence. If it was fall and hens were in season…..she would have been an awesome hen to take. 8 yard easy, straight on shot. However fall it is not. Honestly I could have taken several hens that morning, but hens aren't what we were after…..especially with the promise of big toms!
Now after sitting down and going over everything that happened that morning it occurs to me that the turkeys around here maybe haven't started breeding yet. If they had, I just can't fathom that all those toms would have just let all those ladies walk away from them. It had all seemed to promising. My research had told me that it was almost always fine if you attracted the hens towards you, as the toms were almost certain to follow……not these South Dakota toms I guess! It might have eventually come together for us, but a distant, yet all together too close for turkey comfort, shotgun blast sent the toms running up and over the hill crest away from us. The private farm land abuts a large area of public hunting land, so I'm hoping that our morning was at least ruined by someone else's success! The hens had already disappeared up into the thicker timber, and it would have been worthless to chase them anyway.
We sat in the blind and called, hearing gobbles off from behind the hill, but the birds never did reappear into our view. Knowing the the shotgun had probably ruined the hope of the birds moving back out into the open for several hours, we decided to leave the blind and do a bit of walking. We could always hear gobbles, but for every yard we closed, the toms moved away at least a yard. In the end, we packed up our gear and headed back to town with nothing more than a few large turkey feathers and a story of our first real encounter with a flock. I won't soon forget the feeling of listening to birds all around me and feeling potential and hope like I've never felt while sitting in the blind. It was worth all the icky ticks to watch the level of sass displayed by that hen while she was investigating our decoy. It seems like every time The Engineer and I head out to the fields, we get a little bit closer to filling my tag. However, the end of the season is looming, so I'm hoping all the pieces fall together for us soon!

Towards restoring Ecological Resilience – A Case study
Ecosystems when faced by disturbances whether naturally or human-induced work towards recovery – this is a show of ecological resilience. The ease with which a particular ecosystem regains its previous or improved status is a measure of this resilience. Where perturbation is of high magnitude, recovery takes place slowly and over a relatively longer period. It is in such a case that human intervention may be needed to aid in recovery.
Kivaa Hill in Machakos County, Eastern Kenya, has over the last four decades been degraded by surrounding community members through extraction of timber, fuelwood and medicinal herbs as well as overgrazing. In 2008, the community members approached the Institute for Culture and Ecology to forge joint efforts towards supporting restoration of Kivaa Hill's ecological integrity.
A group of elders came together after the community started partnering with ICE and laid down strategies to employ in aiding restoration of Kivaa Hill, which the community had come to appreciate as a critical watershed. Led by their leader, Mzee (Elder) Munguti Kavivya, the elders mobilized Kivaa community towards reforestation of the hill and also lobbied to have grazing on it banned by the local administrators.
Mzee Munguti of Kivaa
Munguti Kavivya and Kivaa Hill are intricately bound together as revealed by a recent visit to the area. After a short briefing at the foothill, Mzee Kavivya strode off up the hill while we followed trying to keep pace with this nonagenarian who was accompanied by a battery of other local elders. A few metres up the hill, Mzee Kavivya stops at a spot which he calls the 'gate'. He selected plants for us to hold as a sign of peace and warm welcome and then ushered us to some stones to sit on as he readied himself to answer any questions. We were not far from the Ithembo, the sacred site on Kivaa Hill.
We asked Mzee Kavivya to tell us his story of Kivaa Hill. He began by saying that before 1949 there was virtually no-one living in Kivaa area. There was abundant wild life and hunters would pass through from time to time. In 1949 his father brought his family to settle in the area. They were among the first settlers. He narrated that in the next three decades many more people continued streaming into the area, some of them seeking jobs at the Seven Folks Hydro-electric power stations being established at that time along River Tana, Kenya's largest river.
The elders who moved to Kivaa brought with them their Kamba traditions. They earmarked Kivaa Hill as a Sacred site and carried out the first sacrificial ritual there in 1964 to cleanse the hill for onward ceremonies owing to the degradation that the hill had suffered. Elders in Kivaa carried out more rituals in the subsequent years up to 1975.
During all this time Mzee Kavivya operated like a lone ranger as custodian of Kivaa Hill sacred site. He started the process of mobilizing other elders and these started engaging in dialogues on how to protect and conserve the Hill. They also brought along younger people in what they called intergenerational dialogues. These dialogues culminated in development of eco-cultural calendars and maps as tools to guide in ecological reconstruction which was done in partnership with ICE and with support from the African Biodiversity Network(ABN) among other partners. "Today Kivaa Hill has its owners and is able to protect itself'' Mzee Kavivya proudly testifies.
Mzee Kavivya reiterated that the Hill is now respected and cases of illegal grazing and extraction of materials is minimal. He commends the local chief for the support he gives the elders whenever they arrest illegal grazers. He also appreciates the support from ICE. "If you take your goat or cow there be ready for the consequences'' Mzee Kavivya declares. Each goat apprehended on the hill attracts a fine of Ksh.500 and Kshs. 1,000 for cows.
Today Kivaa Hill is now providing ecosystem services like there before, courtesy of a recent research done by ICE in partnership with selected local community members. Kivaa hill's hydrologic potential has been restored and streams now flow from the hill traversing the neighbourhoods providing water to the local residents.
"Let's avoid conflict while fetching water as the Owner of this water might be offended and stop it, instead let's respect the hill where this water comes from". Mzee Kavivya concludes.

We are now going to discuss the details of CSEET Paper-2 Legal Aptitude and Logical Reasoning – Logical reasoning Drawing Inference notes.
Logical reasoning Drawing Inference
An inference…is a statement about the unknown made on the basis of the known.
S.I. Hayakawa, Language in Thought and Action (2nd ed.) p. 41
Inferences are evidence-based guesses. They are the conclusions a reader draws about the unsaid based on what is actually said. Inferences drawn while reading are much like inferences drawn in everyday life. If your best friend comes in from a blind date and looks utterly miserable, you would probably infer the date was not a success. Drawing inferences while you read requires exactly the same willingness to look at the evidence and come to a conclusion that has not been expressed in words. Only in reading, the evidence for your inference consists solely of words rather than actual events, expressions, or gestures.
To pull meaning from the page, readers need to draw all kinds of inferences. They need to infer main ideas; figure out how sentences and paragraphs relate; connect supporting details to main ideas; match pronouns to antecedents (the words to which pronouns refer); understand the function of allusions (references to people and events that are used to make a point); and determine how visual aids contribute to the author's message (This is just a partial list). While it's commonly assumed that writers supply every word readers need to construct meaning, nothing could be further from the truth. Readers almost always help create the texts they read. Those readers who don't draw inferences to fill in gaps in the text are likely to miss or misunderstand the meaning intended by the author.
For an illustration of how important inferences are to communication between reader and writer, read the following sentence: "After reading that Paris Hilton told an interviewer how the beauty of her hit song 'Stars Are Blind' made her want to cry, I couldn't help thinking of a quotation from Mark Twain: 'Man is the only animal that blushes—or needs to.' " To understand that sentence, readers need to draw at least three essential inferences:
The author thinks the song is just awful.
Mark Twain thought that only humans blushed because they were the only ones who did things they needed to be ashamed of.
The author makes a connection between Hilton and Twain because she thinks Paris Hilton is one of those humans who should blush from shame.
Note as well how the author expects readers to infer that the antecedent for the pronoun "her" is Paris Hilton. Linking pronouns to antecedents is one of the most common kinds of inferences readers are expected to draw on a consistent basis.
What You Need to Know About Inferences
There are logical and illogical inferences, inferences that "fit" the rest of the text and inferences that don't. Make sure your inference has the right fit by relying on the author's words more than on your own feelings and opinions. To give you an obvious example: If the writer uses glowing language to describe the presidency of Bill Clinton but never states an opinion of the Clinton years in office, you probably shouldn't infer that the writer is a Clinton critic just because you yourself thought Bill Clinton was a terrible president.
Think of inferring implied main ideas as a two-step process, moving from part to whole. Your first step is to understand what each sentence contributes to your knowledge of the topic. Next ask yourself what the sentences combine as group to suggest. The answer to that question is the implied main idea of the paragraph.
If you draw an inference about the main idea, check to see if the your inference is contradicted by any statements in the paragraph. If it is, you have probably drawn an illogical inference, one that does not follow from the information given. With particularly difficult readings, see if you can actually identify the language or statements that led you to the main idea you inferred. This kind of close reading is a great inference check. It also gives you practice doing the kind of thoughtful reading that guarantees remembering.
Transitions such as "consequently," "next," and "in summary" definitely help readers make connections between sentences and paragraphs. Transitions are the considerate author's way of saying, "This is the connection you need to make between what you just read and what's coming up." However, transitions are not as commonly used as readers might like. It's often the reader's job to supply sentence and paragraph connections. In other words, it's the reader's job to draw the right inference. If a sentence doesn't open with a transition—and a good many won't—make sure you know how the sentence you are reading connects to the ideas that came before.
Pay especially close attention to sentence openers. That's where you will often get the clues you need to infer relationships between sentences and paragraphs.
Be on the look-out for key allusions or idioms (expressions that might seem completely out of place to those just learning the language, but which make sense to those who grew up hearing or reading these expressions), e.g., she loved her job; the money was "icing on the cake"). Allusions and idioms often suggest meanings that are central to the author's message. For instance, if the writer says that "the shotgun marriage between the unions and management dissolved once the war was over" you can infer that the unions and management were working together because they were forced to by necessity. However, the writer doesn't say anything about either side being forced by necessity. Instead, she uses an idiom and expects reader to draw the correct inference.
If the text includes visual aids, but neither the title nor caption tells you exactly how they relate to the author's meaning, take the time to figure out the relationship between text and graphic. Inferring relationships between the author's words and the visual aids will deepen your overall understanding of the point or points being made. You will also have two ways, one verbal, one visual, to anchor information in long-term memory.
To get you started thinking about inferences, here are a few warm-up exercises. If you sail through these, you can find more at Online Practice for Reading for Results.
Directions : Each item in this exercise describes a famous person. It's your job to infer the name of the person described.
A small-town lawyer from Illinois, tall and lanky with an Adam's apple that could have gone down in the Guinness Book of Records had it existed in the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, he changed the face of American history, steering it through a civil war that left both sides bloody. Who knows what more he could have done had an assassin's bullet not cut him down.
The person described is ____________________
In drawing the correct inference, which piece of information is more useful:
He had a big Adam's apple.
He steered the nation through a civil war.
Answer and Explanation:
Clue : He steered the country through civil war.
Explanation : Lots of people have big Adam's apples, but America has had only one civil war.
Glittering and shaking to the strains of "Proud Mary," this lady ruled the stage in the sixties, but Ike ruled the roost until she walked out the door. It took her almost a decade to get back on top but she still remains one of pop's great divas. Closing in on sixty, she can still belt out rock and roll with singers half her age, and "Simply the Best" just may qualify as her own personal theme song.
In drawing the appropriate inference, which piece of information is more useful.
She ruled the stage but Ike ruled the roost.
She was a popular singer in the sixties.
Answer and
Clue : She ruled the stage but Ike ruled the roost.
Explanation : There were many popular women singers in the sixties but only one was linked to a domineering husband named Ike.
Directions : For each situation, draw what you think is an appropriate inference.
You have just gotten a pit bull puppy from an animal shelter. He's lovable but nervous. If you raise your voice for any reason, he cowers and trembles. If you scold him, he hides. When you got him from the shelter, he had a slight limp and a deep scratch across his nose. Inference :
You are a high school student sitting in class when a substitute teacher walks in and announces that your regular teacher is ill. Everyone in the class including you erupts in applause. The substitute raps his knuckles on the desk for order, but the students ignore him and talk louder. Inference : Answers may vary.
Inference: The puppy may well have been abused by its former owners.
Inference: The students are going to take advantage of the substitute teacher.
Directions : Each item in this exercise introduces a topic. Six specific statements about the topic follow. Read them carefully. Then choose the more appropriate inference.
Topic: Shakespeare in nineteenth-century America
Specific Statements :
In the early nineteenth century, Shakespeare was the most widely performed playwright in both the North and Southeast.
In the first half of the nineteenth century, English and American actors could always earn money by performing Shakespeare in towns both big and small.
American audiences were famous for their participation in performances of Shakespeare's plays: They hurled eggs and tomatoes at the villains and cheered and whistled for the heroes.
By the end of the nineteenth century, theater owners claimed that most ordinary people couldn't understand Shakespeare, and they were refusing to stage his plays.
In the early 1800s, theater goers in big cities could often choose between three different productions of Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet; by the end of the nineteenth century, it was hard to find one production of a Shakespeare play, let alone several.
Answer B
Early American audiences embraced Shakespeare's plays enthusiastically because they wanted to prove that they were as clever and sophisticated as their former British rulers.
The role of Shakespeare in America changed dramatically as the nineteenth century drew to a close.
Topic : The medics in World War II Specific Statements
During training for combat, the medics were often despised because most of them had refused to take up arms.
The medics had their own barracks and were separated from combat soldiers, who referred to them as "pill pushers" and laughed at their medical drills.
In actual combat, it was often the medics who meant the difference between life and death for soldiers wounded in battle; they were the ones who braved gunfire to carry wounded soldiers to the hospital.
In many divisions, soldiers who had lived through combat took up collections in order to provide bonuses for the medics.
Interviewing veterans of World War II, author Stephen Ambrose consistently heard from men who believed they owed their lives to some member of the medical core.
The combat experience profoundly changed the way soldiers felt about the medical core.
Despite their bravery in the battles of World War II, medics never really received the respect that was due them.
Answer A
Directions : Read each paragraph. Then choose the inference that could effectively sum up the main idea.
When World War II broke out in Europe in 1939, the United States was the only major power without a propaganda agency. More important, despite prodding from England and France, the U.S. had no plans to create one. During World War I, a government-based group known as the Committee for Public Information had successfully stirred up public feeling against German-Americans because America was at war with Germany. As a result, many innocent German-American citizens had been insulted, beaten, even lynched. In addition, a good portion of the American public still believed that the United States had been tricked into entering World War I because of British propaganda. Distrustful of propaganda in general, there was little widespread support for a government agency dispensing it when the Second World War broke out.
Because of what had happened during World War I, the American public was suspicious of propaganda and not inclined to support its use when World War II first erupted.
Aware of how the German government was using propaganda to spread hate and violence, the American public was reluctant to make use of it at the beginning of World War II.
At his death in 1971, trumpeter Louis Armstrong was much loved as a celebrity. Yet as a musician, he no longer commanded wide respect among the general public. To most people, he was the man with the toothy smile who made occasional appearances in television and movies usually singing what had become his signature songs "Hello, Dolly" and "It's a Wonderful World." Jazz enthusiasts, however, had another take on the passing of Louis Armstrong. To them he was the New Orleans-born musician who had, along with Bix Beiderbecke, introduced the solo to jazz. With records like "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," "I'm not Rough," and "Potato Head Blues," Louis became the first great jazz influence. As music critic Terry Teachout has written, Louis Armstrong was "the player other players copied." Still, at his death, few really knew what Louis had accomplished. In his honor, radio and television broadcasts played "Hello Dolly," not "West-End Blues," his 1928 recording that starts off with what may be the most famous horn solo in jazz.
A hero to much of the jazz community, Louis Armstrong was forgotten by the general public at the time he died.
At his death, Louis Armstrong was a beloved celebrity whose spectacular achievements had been forgotten by all but devoted jazz fans.
Directions : Read each paragraph. Then draw an inference that sums up the main idea.
In the movies, England's King Richard the First—he of the lion heart and Robin Hood fame— is a hero of spotless reputation. In Hollywood's many versions of the Robin Hood story, for example, Robin worships good King Richard and would willingly die for him. History, however, offers a different slant on Richard's supposed goodness. In 1189, the Pope called for yet another crusade to take back the holy land of Jerusalem from Moslem rule. Intent on following the Pope's order, Richard combined forces with King Philip the II of France. Together, they managed to take the town of Acre, a port on what is now Israel's Northwestern coast. Attempting to blackmail the Moslem ruler Saladin into giving up sacred lands, Richard took 2,500 civilians hostage, many of them women and children. When Saladin refused, Richard promptly slaughtered every last one of his hostages.
Inference:
When Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow, she was twenty years old. Although she had been a rebellious child and teenager, she had never broken a law in her life. The worst thing she had done in her mother's opinion was run off and get married to a shiftless womanizer who humiliated and neglected her. When Clyde came along, Bonnie was ripe for the attentions of a man who seemed to think she was both important and attractive. As long as he didn't desert her, Bonnie didn't much care about Clyde's two-year jail sentence. In jail at least, she knew where he was, and she could write him daily letters about how much she loved him. Bonnie, however, got nervous when she heard that Clyde was planning a jailbreak. To bind him more tightly to her, she smuggled him a gun and helped him escape. After he got caught and sent back to prison, Bonnie was even more determined to wait for the man she called her "one true love." Upon his release from jail, Bonnie took Clyde home to meet her folks and announced she was going to Houston, Texas to get a new job. The next time her mother heard from her, Bonnie Parker was sitting in jail and had formally started her career as one half of the most famous bandit duo in history.
Answers will vary.
Richard the Lionhearted was not as pure of heart as some movies suggest.
Her romantic attachment to Clyde Barrow led Bonnie Parker into a life of crime.

New York Governor extends shutdown orders for part of state till May 28
As five regions in New York state begin their phased re-opening on Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has extended the state's shutdown orders for the remaining regions, including New York City, till May 28.
The five regions – Central New York, the North Country, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier and Mohawk Valley Regions – have met all seven metrics required to begin phase one of the state's regional phased reopening plan.
These regions can begin opening businesses over the weekend for phase one, which includes construction; manufacturing and wholesale supply chain; retail for curbside pickup and drop-off or in-store pickup; and agriculture, forestry, and fishing.
However, for the rest of the state, the stay-at-home order has been extended till May 28.
For those regions that don't qualify to open on Friday, we're extending what's called the New York Pause order under which businesses, services and institutions will remain closed down. Cuomo said that if at any time, any of the remaining regions meets the seven criteria necessary to qualify for re-opening, it can re-open.
If a region hits its benchmark at any time, regardless of the Pause order, then that region can open.
The seven metrics that will define whether a region can re-open businesses are a decline in total hospitalizations, the decline in deaths measured by the three-day rolling average of daily new hospital deaths not exceeding five, fewer than two new hospitalizations per 100,000 residents, hospital bed capacity regions must have at least 30 percent of their total hospital beds available before a phased re-opening, availability of 30 percent of ICU beds in a region, diagnostic testing capacity and contact tracing capacity.
"All the arrows are pointed in the right direction and now the question becomes focused on reopening – people have to get back to work and the state needs an economy – but we have to make sure we don't reopen too soon," Cuomo said Thursday.
"We are doing this in a calibrated way and monitoring the data, facts and metrics every single day and using the lessons we've learned from others who have already gone through this.
And right now, based on our criteria we have five regions that are poised to reopen beginning Friday, and as they start to reopen certain businesses we will continue to monitor the level of activity and make sure it doesn't create a second wave of this virus.

I love to watch their understated displays, their quiet theatre of light and shadow. These are the Black Stairs Mountains. Ancient hills, rooted low and worn, enfolding the river valley, shielding and feeding the sacred, life giving waters of the River Barrow. Watching over the town Gráig-na-Managh – the grange of the monks – for the past one thousand years. They were here long before the town was established and will be here long after it has gone.
As protectors, these hills offer solace, safe-keeping. I offer them my thoughts and my dreams. I know they will keep them for me, holding them, releasing them back to me as needed. Some pre-historic carved stones tell me that people have communicated with these mountains for many years.
The mountains speak many languages. No words are needed, just thoughts, feelings, dreams, energy, flow. I give these to the mountains. "Take them. Run them up your broad sides, along your ragged top, down to your valley floors. Re-fresh them in your bubbling springs. Protect them under granite stone. Invigorate them with your light show. I will come back for them soon".
When I walk here, I trace the crooked paths in search of my deposited thoughts but they are not easily found. The mountains seem to play with them, hide them, releasing them only when they are ready to. Or is it that my mind will only accept them when the time is right, when thinking stops and the mind opens to the language of the mountains. Thinking with the body. Feeling as language.
Sometimes, exhausted from a day's hiking, the body's tuning fork picks the right note and the communication starts. Ebb and flow; wave and vibe; through and with; gently whispering; flowing silently back. Restored, rejuvenated, rejoiced.


FREIBURG, Germany - June 6, 2011 - Concept Engineering and Calypto Design Systems have renewed an existing OEM agreement, allowing Calypto to integrate and use Concept Engineering′s Nlview automatic schematic generation and viewing software as the visualization engine for the complete PowerPro product family. Calypto uses Nlview within the graphical analyzer cockpit of the company′s power optimization products. Nlview shows RTL-level schematics and schematic fragments and interacts with other design views of the analyzer cockpit to give design engineers detailed understanding of the power optimizations that are performed by Calypto′s PowerPro products.
"Concept′s schematic visualization engine gives our customers compelling visibility, improved control, and easier validation. Working with Concept allows our engineers to spend their time improving the core PowerPro engines, while at the same time giving our customers a world-class graphical environment" said Doug Aitelli, CEO and President of Calypto.
The integration of Nlview into PowerPro gives Calypto customers a high-performance, high-capacity GUI that provides very detailed feedback about automatic RTL code optimization as well as automatically pinpointing circuit regions with potentially high power consumption. Easy-to-read schematic diagrams give designers quick and detailed feedback on and control over the power optimization process. Cross-probing between schematic diagrams and original RTL code makes it easy to understand and fine-tune the RTL code changes necessary for power optimization.
"Meeting and holding tight power specifications in modern SoC designs is extremely important and difficult," said Gerhard Angst, CEO and president of Concept Engineering. "It gives us great pride to be working with Calypto Design Systems to improve this area of design."
PowerPro software with the integrated Concept Engineering visualization engine will be shown at the Calypto DAC booth 2012 at the 48th Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Diego from June 6th to 8th, 2011. Concept Engineering′s technology for automatic schematic generation, navigation, and visualization will be on exhibit in booth 2831 at DAC.

Коктейльный соус — холодный соус, обычно на основе майонеза с добавлением томатного пюре. Предназначен преимущественно для заправки закусочных салат-коктейлей с ракообразными.

Коктейльный соус по составу и виду похож на американский соус фрай и британский соус мари роуз с кетчупом или аргентинский соус гольф с томатами, но содержит также хреновый соус, вустерский соус и соус табаско. В испанской кухне обычно именуется «розовым соусом», в сокращении от британского названия. Смешивать майонез и томатную пасту практиковали ещё кулинары XIX века, но моду на коктейльный соус к креветкам популяризовали в отеле «Невада» в Лас-Вегасе в 1950-х годах.

Коктейльный соус сервируют также к холодным блюдам из мяса, птицы, рыбы, омарам, устрицам, сыру и яичным блюдам. Готовые коктейльные соусы поступают в розничную торговлю как кулинарные полуфабрикаты.

Guild EducationHow institutions can ensure equity initiatives have an impact in higher education
How institutions can ensure equity initiatives have an impact in higher education
Video of New strategies for DEI at US universities and employers
Higher education can help address some of the challenges faced by under-represented students, but more work needs to be done to ensure equity
Students and educators are no longer willing to accept the inequities plaguing academic institutions and the employment market. Guild Education, an education benefits company dedicated to connecting employers and high-value learning providers, supports organisations as they look to create opportunities for all students so they can have equitable access to education and economic mobility.
During a session for the THE Student Success Forum, Mathew Daniel, principal consultant at Guild Education, and Kate Kraft, the company's principal of solutions exploration, spoke of the ways that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) could be prioritised in universities and workplaces.
"At Guild, we sit at the intersection of learning institutions and employers," Daniel explained. "And what we're seeing is that there isn't actually a challenge around equity when it comes to having BIPOC [black, indigenous and other people of colour] employees, specifically. There is lots of diversity within most organisations, but most of it sits in the front line. By contrast, there's not much representation in mid-level management and executive roles. Employers in America certainly have a problem that is impacting access to education and leadership."
Daniel went on to explain that addressing this problem is not just the right thing to do from an ethical point of view, it also makes sense financially. "Companies who are not hiring representative talent will not make an impact in the market. They will not be able to communicate. They will not be able to create the products that America's diverse consumer base is looking for," he said.
Moving away from the employer's point of view, Kraft spoke at length about what academic institutions could do to address challenges around DEI. "At Guild, we identified five key areas where academic institutions can make a difference to DEI," she said. "These were institutional commitments, expanding access, academic success, wraparound support, and faculty, staff and leadership."
Pedagogy, curricula and mentoring can all have a huge impact on students, including how they are placed on courses, what they are taught, and how they are spoken to. "A great place to start is by ensuring that there are inclusive course materials in the syllabus," Kraft noted. "For example, the University of Arizona – a Guild partner – has a cruelty-free syllabus design that eliminates the kind of penalising, authoritative language that is often associated with policing by many populations of learners."
"When we look at the data, it's clear that we must do better," Daniel added. "We're on a journey. Our partners are working hard to create true equity but it's clear that a lot of work still needs to be done."
"Ultimately, it's a huge priority for Guild to serve students from under-represented populations, whether that's in terms of race, age, ability, status or need for accessibility," Kraft said. "Everything from marketing materials to syllabi, every piece of communication that a student receives is an opportunity to reassure them that, whoever they are, they belong at your institution."

PARCA eNews – April 12, 2017 – Phillips IntelliSite Pathology Solution (PIPS) announced today it has been given FDA approval to market its first whole slide imaging system ushering in the era of digital pathology.
The FDA evaluated data from a clinical study of approximately 2,000 surgical pathology cases using tissue from multiple parts of the body (anatomic sites). Results of the study found that clinical interpretations (diagnoses) made based on the PIPS images were comparable to those made using glass slides.
PARCA eNews – May 22, 2017 – Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights issued breach notification guidance on it's website in the wake of the WannaCry ransomware attack last week.
As outlined in its guidance available on its website, OCR presumes a breach in the case of ransomware attack.
PARCA eNews – April 21, 2017 – Phishing security company PhishMe is reporting that the Locky ransomware that staged many of the ransomware attacks in 2016 has re-emerged with a PDF twist.
On their blog, the anti-phishing firm is reporting that the methods used to deliver the Locky payload are significantly different that the previous version. The new version uses the Dridex malware in conjunction with a PDF document that breaks from the expectations for how IT security and potential victims about how this threat looks.
PARCA eNews – April 27, 2017 – The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) has become aware of an emerging sophisticated campaign, occurring since at least May 2016, that uses multiple malware implants. Initial victims have been identified in several sectors, including Information Technology, Energy, Healthcare and Public Health, Communications, and Critical Manufacturing.
PARCA eNews – May 9, 2017 – Congress unexpectedly gave a big boost to proponents of developing a national patient identifier system that would accurately link patients to their health information.
Less than a month after a coalition of providers, payers, and Health IT companies joined forces to ask Congress in a jointly signed letter to clarify its 1999 ban on universal patient identification, the group was pleasantly surprised by the FY 2017 Omnibus bill. The bill included language from the letter allowing HHS through the ONC and CMS to provide technical assistance to private-sector led initiatives to develop a coordinated national strategy that will promote accurate identification of patients and their health information.
The rapid response to their letter was so unexpected that the group had already made plans to repeat the request for the FY18 Labor-HHS spending bill, however, Congress seems to have agreed to the request by industry, putting the changes in place less than a month after the letter was submitted.
Providing timely, seamless patient information across the spectrum of the US healthcare system is key to improving patient care. While progress has been made, additional efforts are needed to continue the progress.
Four initiatives have been announced in the past few weeks that aim to continue the progress toward interoperability.

Comparison of Direct Attach Cable & Active Optical Cable
by infiberoneoptic optic John M. Smyth's Homemakers
It's known that Direct Attach Copper Cable(DAC) and Active Optical Cable (AOC) are now applied in the data center widely for short-distance interconnection due to their respective unique advantages. With the respect to them, usually, we may only get that they are two kinds of optical transceiver assemblies, terminated with transceiver-style plugs used in the same ports as optical transceivers used. However, except for these, as for their other information, such as advantages or disadvantages, or differences and so on, how much do you know? Now, this article will make a detailed comparison for them to introduce them to us.
When it comes to their differences, maybe we can get about it from their designs and structures.
AOCs are active devices, incorporating active electric and optic components to transmit/receive signal via optic fiber. While DACs can be both passive and active. The passive DACs (often called PCCs) have no active circuitry, which means there is a direct connection between copper cable and optical transceiver's printed circuit board (PCB) electrical contacts. Besides, the active DACs (often called ACCs) incorporate active component to transmit/receive signal via copper cable. The following figure shows the general internal structure of AOCs and DACs.
Due to different design and structure, naturally, they distinguish in advantages. The below is about the comparison of them.
Relatively speaking, AOC is with these strengths:
With higher bandwidth: Device upgrading is unnecessary, on account that it has a throughput of up to 40 Gbps with QSFP+.
EMI immunity—For the reason that the optic fibre is not able to conduct electric current, AOC is immune to electromagnetic energy.
Light in weight: Because of its material, AOC weighs less than a comparable direct attach copper cable. Light in weight: Because of its material, AOC weighs less than a comparable direct attach copper cable.
While DAC is with those benefits:
With interchangeability: DAC is interchangeable and hot swappable with fiber optic modules.
With higher data rate: DAC data rate, higher than traditional copper interfaces, is available for various applications .
Cost effective: DAC is accorded with various protocols such as gigabit & 10G Ethernet, 8G FC, FCOE and Infiniband. It's a cost effective solution over optical transceivers.
In addition, except for the differences in advantages, they differ in disadvantages.
In size and weight, compared with the AOC, DAC is heavier and bulkier, making it difficult to be managed. While in cost, compared with DAC, the drawback of AOC may be more expensive for customers.
Above all is about the comparison between the DAC and AOC. If wanting to know more about it, welcome to contact us.
Note: We are a sub-brand of Gigalight, we focus on high-end optical network devices, mainly supplying industrial-grade optical transceivers and professional optical interconnection components for data centers. With more than 10 years' experience in optics industry, we now have professional R&D team(more than 100 engineers) and stable supply ability.

Establishing your property's rental value is something you need to do before you even begin marketing it or screening tenants. You need to know how much rent to charge, and that depends on the market and what good tenants are willing to pay.
The easiest way to estimate the value of your rental is to look at other homes for rent in your area. Zillow, Trulia, and a host of other rental websites can be used to check. See what's going on in your neighborhood. Keep in mind that your value depends on what you have to offer. Certain factors will be included in your rental value, such as whether you're paying for a gardener or a pool company. We always recommend you include a professional gardener and a pool service. This is your tenant's home, but it's not their investment. They won't care for the yard or the pool to the standards that you may expect.
When we're talking about value of your property, things like new carpet and fresh paint and updated appliances will make a difference. You don't have to have all these things, but they can be a marketing tool, and certain features will bring in more money. When you're looking at properties online, it seems like everyone has the same two or three bedrooms to offer, but if your neighbor is renting a property without new carpet or modern appliances, you might earn more. That neighbor could be renting a home for $1,500 per month. Your new refrigerator and fresh paint won't mean you can charge $2,500, but it might earn you an extra $100 or $150 every month.
Another way to figure out your rental value is by typing your property's address into Google. If you do that, you'll get a list of ways to find the value on your property.
At The Equity Group, we use a couple of different systems for placing a rental value on the properties we manage. We have a rent match system that can pick up rental values in particular areas. We gather data on the properties that have recently rented, and we look at the listing prices for rental homes that are new to the market. Our analysis includes information on how old the home is, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms it has, and what the square footage is. This gives us a lot of information, and it helps us price your property more accurately.

Q: Im facing Big performance impact on IEnumerable(LINQ) > List(RecyclerView) My project is a commercial project I cannot post here, but the code procedure is:

*

*GetAll(LINQ)

*filtering(Linq)

*pass IEnumerable result to RecyclerView Adapter

*Adapter convert IEnumerable<> to List<>

*Adapter Inflate the ItemCards

Big performance impact on #4, it takes up to 3 seconds on about 3k items.
How can I reduce the performance impact?
I noticed if I just create a new List<>(3000), it also takes about 1.5 seconds.
Or should I just not use the List?
How is Adapter fetching data by [position] if we don't use List<>.
How to go to particular Item in IEnumerable
ElementAt() gives my app totally died when inflate. It seems to do ToList() at every Items.

A: Im find out problems by myself:

3.pass IEnumerable result to RecyclerView Adapter

Dont pass Enumerable to Adapter, or, it will re-query at every item. Pass List instead.


Success that you can touch.

Q: AEM as a Cloud Service + CIF Addon - /api/graphql not working on Publish SDK One quick question. As of last week I had completely setup the AEM SDK with the Venia store front with all the components working. When I move the setup the AEM publish SDK, I am encountering one issue.
The /api/graphql is throwing 403 errors which means no frontend commerce operation is happening on the storefront.
I tried adding the /api/graphql to the CSRF filter's exclude list and even removed the POST method from there.

After this I still 403 on GET request of /api/graphql and the following on POST request.

I am I missing some setting?
Note: on the sling servlet resolver config, I have added the /api/graphql but there is no change.

There is a query very similar to this on the groups but there is no response. So thought of raising it here.
https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-cif-magento-on-publish...
Please let me know if I am missing something.

A: Issue solved.
I introduced a var called COMMERCE in the global vars to solve the problem, since the vhost file refers to it.
I could have done it slightly better but I guess i was lazy :)
Please refer to this link for details:

> Things are much faster for me with TEST_LOAD_EL=no (35s v 1m35s).

shall be set to "no". If there's a problem, one runs "make -C test <file>"

Anyway, I will continue to analyze what makes the tests so slow.


Industrial use of cheese and butter (in sandwiches, pizzas, etc.) grew faster than retail sales or food-service usage for EU-28 in 2014, according to DG Agri. More than a third of the cheese and butter consumed was through these manufactured products and this share is expected to rise over the coming years.
Cheese usage in industry is rising because of its popularity with consumers in terms of taste and in some cases as a substitute for meat. Consumer trends away from "artificial" foods, combined with compulsory labelling for refined fat ingredients (eg palm oil), is leading some manufacturers to use butter instead of vegetable oils.
As a result, increased industrial use is expected to help drive up domestic consumption of cheese and butter in the EU over the next decade.

Q: Hide Area and Iteration Names users don't have permission to view I have end users going in as stakeholders and adding new work items. we have a long list of areas and iterations.
I have created a custom group and denied them access to all areas and iterataions except the one they need but when they go create workitem, they can still see all the areas and iterations.
Yes, they cannot save workitem under an area/iteration that they don't have access to but is there a way to display only those areas and iterations that they have access to?

A: There is no such work item rule by default to hide Area and Iteration Names, you would need to customize your own work item control. The source below can help you start how to customize a work item control:

LOOPED's Valerie Harper talks Tallulah on Sirius Radio
VALERIE HARPER GETS SERIOUS ABOUT LOOPED
THIS WEEK ON SIRIUS
Valerie Harper, currently starring as Tallulah Bankhead in LOOPED on Broadway, will visit SIRIUS Radio today. She can be heard on the following shows today and this week:
1:00-1:30: Frank DeCaro LIVE.
2:00-2:30 PM : The Ron & Fez Show LIVE.
Thursday April 1 at 11:59 PM on Filip & Fredrik
Valerie Harper stars as Tallulah Bankhead in Matthew Lombardo's new comedy LOOPED, directed by Rob Ruggiero. LOOPED began performances at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street) on Friday, February 19 and opened on Sunday, March 14.
LOOPED tells the story of Tallulah Bankhead, the internationally celebrated actress, being called into a sound studio in 1965 to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film — the dreadful "Die, Die My Darling." Southern, but by no means a belle, Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her inebriated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor and the outrageous legend. Brian Hutchison and Michael Mulheren complete the company.
LOOPED plays Tue at 7, Wed-Fri at 8, Wed at 2, Sat at 2 & 8, and Sun. at 3 PM. Tickets are available through www.telecharge.com, or by calling 212 239 6200.

Q: Font and Font Size Changing I have a Mac app with a plain-text text view. I have been able to get it to save, etc, but when I change the font or font size in my app using the font panel, it is not saved when the app re-opens.
How can I create a way that my app will save the font and font size changes? Thanks!

A: Save Font and Font Size in NSUserDefaults and load from NSUserDefault at the time of application launching.
NSString *valueToSave = @"someValue";
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
    setObject:valueToSave forKey:@"preferenceName"];
to get it back later

NSString *savedValue = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
    stringForKey:@"preferenceName"];

Take a look at Save string to the NSUserDefaults? post.

If you haven't heard the latest, Google launched a new search algorithm, Google Hummingbird. Unlike Google Panda and Google Penguin, Google Hummingbird works differently. When creating Marketing content strategy Google Hummingbird will link together websites that will answer specific questions in a logical process. Therefore improving your search results according to relevancy.
The latest algorithm launch is Google Penguin. This was created by Google as a way to decrease search engine results for those websites that violate Google's webmaster guidelines. The main goal of Google Penguin works to add websites that are reported as spam to a black list known as spamdexing or Black-Hat SEO. It's a way of poisoning the search engine results to prevent these hacker websites from getting through to the user. The term Black-Hat refers to a hacker that violates computer security for malicious reasons and or financial gain. I have seen all to often when someone clicks on an article or an ad, and unknowingly malware files download to their computer and start altering their registry files like a virus. Once downloaded these files are often hidden and hard to remove. Yeah for Google! For creating the new Google Penguin that will help increase internet security for everyone.
Many people may not be aware, Google Panda is a new tool that has been added to the algorithm to help provide better search results. Launched in February of this year, it's designed to eliminate low quality, bad or duplicate results. According to Google it only takes a few pages of poor quality or duplicate content to hold down traffic. These are the types of pages that Google Panda will block from delivering you content to help bring better more relevant search results. Therefore improving on SEO Marketing.

Nectar CBD ® - How Much CBD Oil Should I be Taking and When?
When asking yourself the question; "How much CBD oil should I take?", the most important thing to realise here is that everyone is different and as such substances affect people in different ways and to varying degrees.
When first trying CBD, the user should take care to listen to their body and modify the dosage appropriately. Start with a low dosage and then as you gradually start to notice the effects of CBD, slowly increase the dosage until you are taking the manufacturer's daily recommended amount. Never take more than the recommended dosage.
It is also important to realise that CBD is not a miracle cure. You won't take CBD one time and immediately feel the desired effect. It takes a while for the CBD to build up in your system before you will start to notice a difference. This could be from 2 – 6 weeks or maybe longer. Before deciding that CBD isn't working the way you expected it to, be sure to give it enough of a chance to get to work. Give it time to build up in your system and for your body to react.

The new Grevy's zebra colt foal, pictured at a week old.
A colt Grevy's zebra foal has been born at Arizona's Phoenix Zoo.
His arrival adds to the world's sparse population of Grevy's zebra, an endangered species.
Fewer than 2500 Grevy's zebra are left in the wild due to loss of habitat, competition with livestock and poaching.
As the largest zebra species, Grevy's can be distinguished from other zebras by their longer legs, more narrow stripes, white, stripeless underbelly and large rounded ears. Grevy's zebras are only found in northern Kenya and south eastern Ethiopia.
He is 19th Grevy's zebra born at Phoenix Zoo since 1987.
The as-yet unnamed colt, born on January 19 and weighing in at 100 pounds, has gone on public display along the zoo's Africa Trail.
He was born to Masika and Punda.
Zoo staff said he enjoyed exploring his exhibit and is playing with another male foal, Utambo, born just a couple of months earlier in November to mother Afiya. Both foals share the same father.
Both foals are the result of a breeding recommendation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan, which ensures the genetic diversity of select species.
Staff have an interesting strategy in determining the new name for the foal.
Zookeepers are working on a plan to have Masika choose from three bags of treats that will each be labeled with a name selected by the Zoo's hoofstock team.
The names from which Masika will choose are Pembe, Akili and Bakari.
The name game will take place in the zebra exhibit on February 6, at 9.30am and is open to the public.
Pembe is Swahili for "horn". Obviously, zebras do not have horns, but the Grevy's zebra's historical range encompasses the majority of the Horn of Africa.
Bakari is Swahili for "One who will succeed", a reference to he hope that he will carry on the task to represent his species.
Akili is Swahili for cleverness. It was placed on the shortlist as he proved very clever at figuring out how to get his brother to start playing with him.

Egyptian oil pipeline fire injures 17
Credit: REUTERS/MOHAMED ABD EL GHANY
July 14, 2020 — 01:27 pm EDT
Written by Nayera Abdallah for Reuters ->
By Nayera Abdallah
CAIRO, July 14 (Reuters) - A major fire broke out after a leak of oil from the Shuqair-Mostorod pipeline next to a busy highway in a Cairo suburb on Tuesday and 17 people were injured, authorities said.
The pipeline runs along a motorway on the outskirts of the capital and a spark caused by passing cars ignited crude that was leaking from the pipe, the petroleum ministry said.
The pipeline's valves were immediately closed in the area of the blaze and the flames were brought under control, it added in a statement.
There was no immediate word from authorities on why the pipeline, located some 1.5-meter (5-ft) deep in the ground, had leaked.
A witness at the scene said about two dozen cars were torched, apparently abandoned by motorists. A video posted online showed two residents pulling an injured person away from the highway while thick plumes of smoked billowed skyward.
Petroleum Ministry spokesman Hamdy Abd El Aziz told local TV officials had cordoned off the pipeline and road when the leak had been discovered but motorists had kept driving by which probably sparked the fire.
He did not say when pumping would resume or how much crude had been flowing when the fire broke out. He also refused to say how the underground pipeline could have been damaged, referring to a committee investigating the incident.
The state prosecutor dispatched a team to investigate, a statement said.
The crude pipeline runs from the Red Sea oil port of Shuqair to the called Egyptian Refining Co (ERC) complex of Mostorod in Greater Cairo.
Egypt's Qalaa Holding CCAP.QA, Qatar Petroleum and state-run Egyptian General Petroleum Corp (EGPC) are invested in the refinery business with other partners.

A Largo man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after colliding into a police cruiser early Wednesday morning.
According to arrest reports, the 37-year-old man crashed into the police cruiser around 1 a.m.
The officer behind the wheel of the cruiser was taken to Largo Medical Center for evaluation. He supposedly did not suffer any severe injuries.
The man arrested allegedly had red eyes and breath that smelled of alcohol, according to police. He refused to submit to field sobriety tests or a breath sample.
Police said that a white powder found in his pocket tested positive for cocaine. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance.
Arrest reports indicated that the man was arrested on Jan. 22 for a DUI charge where he also refused to submit to testing. As a result, his license was suspended and he is now charged with driving with a suspended license.
Court records show that the man was convicted of DUI in February 2006 where he received one year of probation.
The man was released on $6,750 bail from the Pinellas County Jail on Wednesday afternoon, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
The difference between a misdemeanor and felony DUI is based on numerous factors. First, if the DUI is a driver's third DUI within 10 years or their fourth or successive DUI, the State can file a Felony DUI charge. Second, a Felony DUI can be charged if the injuries caused by the DUI resulted in a severe bodily injury or death, which is also known as DUI Manslaughter.

Sharon's Sorbet, an international brand and the first-ever sorbet, tasked Marine Lane to rebrand the logo and packaging. The goal was to communicate that Sharon's is the purest sorbet made only with the finest ingredients; Sharon's uses more fruit than any other frozen dessert on the market.
We made it our mission to highlight the fruit ingredient in the purest way possible. Each container's design features a photographic cross section of that flavor's primary ingredient. On the lid, we highlight the exterior of the whole fruit. By focusing on the whole fruit and fruit halves, the concept highlights the purity and freshness of the sorbet. Each flavor's package reinforces Sharon's as a healthy and delicious choice, sending the message that Sharon's ingredients are natural and unmodified.


Lip lines, often referred to as lipstick lines, vertical lines or smoker's lines, are small vertical lines that may appear on the top and bottom lip.
They are caused by a change in the structure of the lips due to everyday activity such as talking. When we talk or move our lips they contract and over time lines are formed. Loss of volume in the lips and thinning skin, which both occur as we age, are other main causes of this condition. Smokers can be particularly prone to lip lines due to the repetitive action of inhaling on a cigarette.
Lip lines can develop at any time of life but are more prominent in those with slimmer lips and can sometimes make people look mean or even slightly annoyed. They are however easily treatable and treatment will often prevent them from re-occurring in the future.
We will usually recommend dermal fillers to treat lip lines, adding volume to the indentations and restore them to the condition they were in before they first appeared. We may also recommend Botox injections to help relax the muscles causing the lines or a combination of both treatments. This will be discussed with you at your patient consultation.
