Earlier this year on a cool Arkansas morning, I was driving north toward the airport in Branson, Missouri. At 6:00 on a Sunday there were few cars on the road and I was enjoying the scenery.
As I approached Rogers, Arkansas, I noticed what I first thought was smoke coming from a fire, and my first thought was, "How nice to be cuddled up next to a fireplace on a morning like this!" Just a few seconds later I realized that this was no ordinary plume of black smoke coming from a chimney but a full-on attic fire.
Quickly, I pulled over to the side of the road and dialed 911. The call was answered on the second ring and I described what I saw.
I described my location and gave the nearest exit number, but after conferring with others in her office, the 911 operator informed me that she would have to transfer me to the Bentonville 911 operator.
Incredibly, I didn't see a single person outside the home or along the street. It was 6:20 or so by this time, and whoever was in that house was still sleeping.
Really?? Three 911 operators and there was still not a single fire truck on its way!
By this time, orange flames had punched numerous holes through the roof of that house, and it's doubtful it could have been saved. Amazingly, not a single neighbor had come outside after smelling the smoke although the house was on a residential street facing the highway.
Around 6:30, I got back on the road, thoroughly frustrated.
Here's the clincher: just a few hundred yards north of where I had parked and observed the burning house, I noticed a large tan building on the left side of the road with a sign that read, "City of Rogers Fire Station." If the firefighters inside that building had been alerted and had just stepped outside, they would have seen the same black smoke that I witnessed.
I have no idea what happened to that house or whether or not anyone was inside.
Does your home have enough smoke alarms and are the batteries charged? Make sure you have enough alarms installed throughout your home.
Gather the kids around a smoke alarm and activate the test button. They should know what the alarm sounds like and understand that it's set off by a sensor that can detect smoke.
Spending some time around a fewsafe campfires will teach kids what smoke smells like. This is a good opportunity to chat for a couple of minutes about smoke being a sign of a house fire. "Where there's smoke there's fire," isn't just an idiom. It's a good safety rule.
Kids need to understand that smoke presents the most urgent danger. Most fire deaths are a result of smoke inhalation, not burns. They should understand that smoke rises and the freshest air will be close to the floor.
Every member of your family should know how to get outside from every room of the house. Do the kids know how to unlatch and open every window? Do they know to get out immediately from whatever room they happen to be in?
Review a fire exit plan in a family meeting. Everyone should practice opening windows and even crawling to an exit. If the kids are willing, blindfold them for a more realistic experience.
If a family member is disabled or very young, assign an older child or adult to help them in both a fire drill and in evacuating in case of a fire.
Establish a single meeting place outdoors.
If there isn't a chance to call 911 from inside your home, assign someone ahead of time to make the call either from a cell phone, if they have it with them, or from a neighbor's house.
It will be a child's natural instinct to want to rescue a family member, a pet, or a beloved toy. Impress upon them that once they are out of a burning building, they are to never go back inside no matter what.
If you can safely rescue your pet(s), don't leave them behind! I have heard that dogs will bolt when frightened, but cats will hide. If you know your cat's favorite hiding places, check them out if there's time before you evacuate.
Include pet evacuations in your fire drills.
Call your nearest fire house and ask about pet rescue stickers for windows. Sometimes they're available for free.
Have your emergency kits, aka Bug Out Bags, packed and ready near a convenient exterior door. Depending on circumstances, you may not be able to access them, but it's better to have them ready to go than leave a burning house with nothing but the clothes on your back.
Prepare in advance for a house fire by gathering together important papers and storing them either in a fireproof safe or in another secure location. I do not recommend the use of safe deposit boxes, ever.
Visit the website of National Fire Protection Association for more tips and downloads.
I was worried about the family living in that burning house and several days later I contacted the Rogers Fire Department. I was told that I had to file a Freedom of Information Act request before I could be told whether or not there had been a house fire that day!
One reason these plans and precautions are important is because towns and cities of every size are experiencing major budget crunches. Some have made the decision to charge homeowners for the services of a fire department! Budget woes are only going to get worse and first responders may not be as readily available as they are now.
In addition to other survival scenarios that you've planned for, be sure to include the ordinary, but deadly and devastating, house fire.
How scary and frustrating! The lack of concern for human life is astounding!
Unfortunately your tale is an excellent reminder that even now we can't always rely on someone else to help us. I'll have to look at my assumptions for various government organizations coming to the rescue.
One of the first things I bought after beginning prepping was a fire ladder. I know it is an unusual item, but I'm on the 3rd story, and I only have one door out of my apartment. If that is blocked by fire or rubble, I needed a way out. It didn't cost much (around $50), but it took my pulling my head out of the sand to realize just how important it is.
I was raised with a Dad who was a volunteer fireman who believed and taught us it wasn't IF your house burned down, it was WHEN.
About once a quarter for many years now with my own kids, we do a surprise fire drill. I have woken the kids up from a dead sleep in the early morning hours yelling very loudly… FIRE DRILL! FIRE DRILL! We walk through every step… feel the door… we tell them if it is hot or cold… if it's hot they unlatch their window, pop out the screen and crawl out… if it's cold they belly crawl all the way to the door. (Though recently I've just told them… go out the window and don't even risk trying to make it through the house.) For children and adults alike, it is not enough to just talk about what you would do in an emergency. For most people, their instinct is to freeze. The last thing you want to do in an emergency is "figure it out." If you've actually done it before, you are much more likely to successfully do it when you really need to. Talk about it, practice it, DRILL it.
As a retired news photographer in a major city, I have rolled in on many structure fires.
People are seldom prepared for a fire. Although I live four blocks from a fire station, the may be out on another call. Everyone should make plans to take care of their own family and property untill help arrives.
Example; I have a fire extinguisher in each room, 2 in garage & one on the patio. These are commercial grade. A 75 0r 100 foot hose attached to each outside hose bib with a firehose type nozzle. And most important a smoke alarm in every bedroom and hallway.
Thank you for posting about this and your checklist. Normally I never respond to comments on a post but this time I must. I am a 911 dispatcher for going on 8 years now. My husband is a volunteer firefighter for almost 15 years. my brother in law is also and my sister is a police officer/ investigator. I believe I'm qualified to comment on this matter. Tammy, this has nothing to do with not caring. Sometimes a 911 call from a cell phone goes to the closest tower which unfortunately may be in another county. Sometimes, a dispatcher may not be familiar with a location in another county which would explain the transfer three times. Also, many fire departments all over the country are volunteer. Many local governments do not have the funds to establish full time fire depts all over their county. Volunteer firefighters do it because they care and dont get paid. I receive so many 911 calls with people screaming and begging for help and we do everything possible to get help as quickly as possible. To BOB,,,, if that were my house burning,,, if I lost loved ones in that very fire,,, I still would not say such a terrible thing as what you posted. Many people panic in an emergency and maybe she did. Maybe in that panic she didn't even think of it. At least she called for help. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ANYONE!!! Ask any firefighter thats had to find or remove a burned body from a fire if they would ever wish something like that on anyone. Go ahead and ask one, you will get knocked flat on your _________!!!
Thanks for the insights, Brenda. I deleted Bob's comment since it was so incendiary! I was parked on a multi-lane highway in a state and area I was completely unfamiliar with. Even if I had gone to the next exit, I didn't know how to actually access the house. I thought about it but honestly thought that firefighters who had maps, GPS, and knew the area would find the location far more quickly than I. Bob is a jerk.
My eldest is a worrier. Thanks to living in SoCal and seeing too many wild fires too close to home, fires have been a particular fear. Each of our bedrooms – including the rarely-used guest bedrooms – have a fire escape ladder. We have special smoke detectors with my recorded voice giving escape instructions instead of just a tone, so the kids have less to remember.
The kitchen and garage have fire extinguishers. The kitchen has a small (stove size) fire blanket to extinguish small kitchen fires even faster. The master bedroom also has a fire safety blanket one of us can use to get to the kids – their bedroom is adjoining, not through a hallway – and / or to get out more safely if the floor BELOW us is engulfed in flames.
Fire safety ladder come in at least two sizes. One suitable for second floor rooms. One for third floor rooms. I don't know about higher levels.
Unfortunately my hubby and I have had the same experience of driving by a house that was on fire. Luckily for the home owner (who was in the house with her two kids and did not know the back part of her house was on fire), my husband and I were able to get to the house and once we pulled over, he jumped out and grabbed the hose that was already attached to the bib and I ran to go and alert her. By the time the fire truck got there (they were there within 2 minutes of my call), the fire was already out because my husband and I knew how to put out fires (growing up the country, you don't always have time to wait when fire depts are spread out geographically and are almost all volunteer). A little smokey clothes and singed shoes (some embers fell on his feet) were worth knowing that the family was safe and the house only had a little damage to the exterior (and lost part of their wood privacy fence and some trash cans where the fire started). Fire Safety is very important to both of us and we try to make sure that we and our neighbors (we live in a condo complex) are ready and know basic fire fighting skills (such as how to put out a stove fire, use a fire extinguisher, etc). In the end it is not about saving things but saving lives (and if you can save things, that is a bonus).
If you can, hard-wire your smoke/heat/co detectors. Why we would trust something this important to battery power I will never understand.
Ours are hardwired, but still have batteries. I bit of a pain, because if the battery dies, it sets the alarm off (usually in the middle of the night, of course). But it is important to have batteries so they will still work if your power goes out.
There are many areas of the country that still have issues with the 911 system when called from a cell phone. This is being worked and should be resolved within a couple of years.
I have been "mentally" prepping for years -(learning skills I thought would be useful in a SHTF scenario), but have just recently begun to gather supplies. My first step into my "mental" preps was to join my local volunteer fire dept. I would reccomend it to anyone who is a serious prepper. I have recieved free medical training (ceritified first responder – now working on my EMT-B), and an opportunity to gain invaluable experience working in the field on actual trauma cases. Plus you get to network with other volunteers who live in your area and come from all walks of life. Since becoming a firefighter seven years ago, I have only responded to 4 actual structure fires. The bulk of our calls are vehicle accidents / medical calls to people's homes. And it only occupys a few hours a week of my time plus the occasional Saturday for training. I could go on and on about the benifits, but I will just say this – If the fire protection district where you live has a volunteer dept. – Attend one of their meetings – they are open to the public. You may just find what has been missing from your preps!
That is shocking to me! Maybe it shouldn't be, but wow. How scary! I can't believe no one had more concern for the situation! We have a fire ladder in each room and do regular drills, but it scares me to think that such a thing could be slept through until it was too late!
Fortunately, I now live in a single story house, so it is out the door or window rather easily. But when I had a "hillside" house: level going into the house-the back bedroom windows were 26 feet off the ground!-I made sure that one of my first purchases was a fire ladder for each bedroom. They do a lot for your peace of mind.
We had one of those early morning fires.
At 4:30 am my husband was getting ready for work and he heard a loud bang. Then he smelled the smoke. Had it been his day off, things could have been much worse. He woke me and the 2 kids and we exited the house to find an inverted corner of the house ablaze. It was just that fast. My husband and I jumped into action, while one kid called 911, the other put our 2 small dogs in the car. I started with the hose, he ran and turned off the propane tank.
Apparently, a lightening strike hit a ladder next to the house (so we figured cause the top 2-3 feet of the ladder was completely gone!). The house caught fire up the wall, to the diagonal eaves and raced upwards, burning through the wall and into the attic.
Even though the electricity eventually quit (burned wiring) and we could no longer pump water from the well, we had a well bucket for the old well at the other end of the house. (BTW–that bucket stays near the well, with enough rope attached to drop it in and the other end is tied to a tree branch above) The girls repeatedly dropped and hauled water to me and we managed to put out the fire down below. But I couldn't see from my position that it had raced up the eaves and was now in the attic.
When my husband opened the attic door (bad idea) it flashed over and he immediately closed it again. I honestly don't know how, other than my husband's urgent prayers, but that fire died out…lack of enough oxygen perhaps…but surely a miracle. He thought the house was a goner. I still had no idea. About that time, the vol. fire dept arrived (one guy on a truck) and proceeded to soak our house. More help arrived later.
Amazingly, other smoke damage, fire damage was restricted to that outside corner and eaves and 15ft of attic space. The double pane porch window broke on the outside, only cracked the inner panes, so no fire got in that way. Only one interior corner of the porch showed evidence of a fire—some heavy smoke damage where the worst of the fire was and that window. We were so lucky! No, we were blessed!
When the firefighters were there and everything had calmed down a bit, we entered the other end of the house and collected some files, photos (all my photos–other than on the walls–are kept in one place for this very reason), laptop and hard drives, purses and wallets, and a change of clothes (obviously we were all in our PJs) and loaded it all in the car.
Shoes by the bed, always.
We turned off the gas! Where the fire started is right near where the propane pipe comes in the house.
Kids and pets—out, safe and secure. Don't need to be worrying where the dogs went to.
Cordless phone–grab and run. Our cell phones don't work here in the boonies.
Family photos/albums all together. Boxed and ready to go, no thinking or searching necessary.
Laptop and hard drives easy enough to grab. Forget the huge desktop—back it up on a portable HD.
All important information in color coded files, altogether. Open the drawer, grab and go.
Needless to say, we did not stop for the last three items. We collected them later. But in an emergency other than a house fire (or eminent tornado) with four of us, we could have done everything in 10 minutes or less.
Fire badddddddddddd…well truth be told its tough to be ready for EVERYTHING but you cant hurt trying. Good article Lisa.


We are raising our rating on Home Depot to Strong Buy from Market Perform and instituting a 12-month target price of $40 following the company's better-than-anticipated fiscal second-quarter of 2011 earnings report and management's conference call.
Home Depot's (ticker: HD) leadership and management team's hard work on merchandising, in-store execution, supply chain, and operational tools (among other areas) has, unquestionably, culminated in a company that is singularly focused on serving its customer.
Despite the bounce of the past few sessions, we believe that the stock's valuation is compelling given its improved position and easing comparisons in the second-half of 2011.
Our target price represents 14.5 times our fiscal 2012 earnings-per-share estimate and is supported by our economic value added/free cash flow (EVA/FCF) intrinsic value.
Fiscal second-quarter results exceeded estimates when Home Depot reported EPS of 86 cents, better than our estimate of 80 cents and the 83-cent consensus estimate.
Total sales were $20.2 billion, also ahead of our estimate of $19.8 billion and the $20.0 billion consensus estimate. Overall same-store sales rose 4.3% versus our forecasted increase by 2.0% and comparable-store sales at U.S. stores rose 3.5%.
Operating EPS beat our estimate by about a nickel driven by lower sales, general and administration expenses (about a four-cent benefit) and higher sales (at about a two-cent benefit) partially offset by lower gross margin (which was a two-cent drag).
Company leadership reaffirmed its full-year sales guidance of an increase by 2.5% year-over-year (about $69.7 billion) and increased its point estimate EPS guidance to $2.34 from $2.24 previously.
Management reinforced its belief that its business is currently tied more closely with U.S. gross domestic product than with housing-related measures but conceded that there are "events" that cause quarterly sales results to differ from the macro economy.
We note that the Federal Reserve Board's forecast for 2011 gross domestic product growth was trimmed in June to increase by 2.7% to about 2.9% (from an increase by 3.1% to 3.3% previously). Irrespective, guidance was unchanged, which alleviated a major concern ahead of the report.
Sales outperformance appears to be more than simply mix and geography. In the past, we have attributed some of Home Depot's recent comparable-store-sales outperformance to its higher relative exposure to small-ticket maintenance items and to markets harder hit by the housing downturn.
In the fiscal second-quarter, however, Home Depot reported that its comparable-store sales in transactions involving tickets of $900 and above (which makes up about 20% of Home Depot's U.S. sales) were up 5.4% while comparable-store sales involving tickets of $50 and below (also about 20% of U.S. sales) were flat.
Management also stated that comparable-store sales were positive in all but three of the company's top 40 markets. To us, these items indicate that the company's improved merchandising and customer service levels are driving sales across merchandise categories and markets.
Shares of Home Depot currently trade at 12.0 times our revised fiscal 2012 EPS estimate of $2.75 versus the five-year median forward multiple of 15.1 times. We believe that the multiple will ultimately retrace to its median once economic conditions stabilize and results continue to outperform.

(Phys.org) —A team of researchers in France, has, for the first time, calculated the Human Trophic Level (HTL)—a number that indicates the proportion of the diet as it relates to the food chain. In their paper, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researches describe their efforts to combine demography, ecological impacts and socioeconomics to determine the HTL for various groups living around the world, which led them to calculating a worldwide global average.
We human beings like to think of ourselves as living at the top of the food chain—doing so implies we have dominion over all the other plants and animals living on this planet. And while that implied perspective is perhaps correct in one sense, it's not when looked at in its truest biological sense. Organisms at the very top (apex) of the food chain eat only meat—the meat of other predators, that is. Organisms at the bottom, conversely, eat only simple plants. With that definition, in mind, we know we're not going to sit at the top—we eat lots of vegetables, thus we're not going to compete with the likes of tigers or crocodiles.
To put things in perspective, scientists have created a scale that allows for relative comparisons between species, it's called the trophic level and it runs from 1, for base level eaters, to an apex level of 5. What's perhaps most odd about the scale, though, is that nobody's ever thought to find the level for humans. Intrigued, the team in France set out to do just that.
To find out, the researchers turned to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)—it's run by the U.N. and has extensive information regarding the eating habits of people throughout the world. They used the information they were provided to calculate HTL levels for people living in various parts of the world, and then came up with a worldwide average—it's 2.21, about the same as a pig, or an anchovy. That means that meat makes up less than half of our diet (that would be 2.5).
Of course there are variations, vegetarians, for example, would score much lower, whereas some people might subsist mostly on fish, fowl or red meat. Not surprisingly the data obtained by the researchers shows that the more advanced a country becomes, the more meat the people eat, until reaching a plateau.
Knowing the HTL for humans may not cause any changes in the way people eat, but it might just cause some to pause and reflect on our true place in the animal kingdom.
Trophic levels are critical for synthesizing species' diets, depicting energy pathways, understanding food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning, and monitoring ecosystem health. Specifically, trophic levels describe the position of species in a food web, from primary producers to apex predators (range, 1–5). Small differences in trophic level can reflect large differences in diet. Although trophic levels are among the most basic information collected for animals in ecosystems, a human trophic level (HTL) has never been defined. Here, we find a global HTL of 2.21, i.e., the trophic level of anchoveta. This value has increased with time, consistent with the global trend toward diets higher in meat. National HTLs ranging between 2.04 and 2.57 reflect a broad diversity of diet, although cluster analysis of countries with similar dietary trends reveals only five major groups. We find significant links between socio-economic and environmental indicators and global dietary trends. We demonstrate that the HTL is a synthetic index to monitor human diets and provides a baseline to compare diets between countries.
Humans are overtly omnivorous, overtly. We compete for the richest food/energy sources nutritionally speaking. Cows, compete with us partially, mountain lions when they eat our pasteur-animals. Dogs are omnivorous by extension or after the fact; they ate the cow, and its partially digested stomach contents which were plant sourced - a common dietary balancing act in the Wild Kingdom (also Wall Street.) In fact, humans eat everything - go to France or China and look at a menu, OMG!!! The animal AND plant kingdoms see us coming and collectively wonder,"is there anybody's relatives the humans have not eaten?"
WE are the top culinary masters, now the bacteria are master omnivorists!
pasteur [sic] Did you mean pasture?
I'd argue that the top of the food chain means not that you eat your potential competitors, but that you prevent them from competing with you.
The whole idea about the food chain is quite incorrect - first of all - it's not chain at all /there's nobody /probably with the exception of some parasites/ who eats only somebody else specific/ - it's a pretty complicated net, and on top of that it's actually a circle - a circle of matter and energy, where even the organisms of the so called "apex" are occasionally completely or partially eaten by the simplest ones /bacteria and viruses, causing illness, killing cells of their bodies etc./, and eventually every living thing dies and is being eaten again by bacteria, worms... So, why not put the bacteria at the top?
So, the idea is not just "quite" incorrect, it's more like completely incorrect, and while it's OK for an average human to think in terms of "food chains" and "apex"-es, it looks for me as being quite much of oversimplification /if not something more/ when scientists think in those categories.
This doesn't mean there's no such thing as Trophic Level, but it's not about how high in the food chain you are, but more as how big of a knot you are in the network of matter and energy redistribution - how much energy and matter goes through you. There's also a factor of how effectively do a specific organism utilize this energy, but there the tendence is pretty general, where the more complex organisms are usually less effective in utilizing it.
And also there's another thing - no organism is actually just one simple "thing" :) - complex organisms consist of multiple cells and in addition are populated by many different types of simpler ones participating on different levels of that pretty complex matter and energy redistribution net.


I never liked Little Brother…sorry, I just didn't. I never thought they were wack, I just didn't see the hype. Before I even heard a song I was hearing how they were the "saviors of hip hop", how Pete Rock invited them up to the basement and how everyone from Primo to Questlove was co-signing them. When I finally heard The Listening… it was cool but to me it wasn't anything mind blowing. And trust me, I KNOW that I'm in the minority with that train of thought, but the one thing that was the bright spot for me in the group was one of the MC, Phonte. I don't know how to explain it but dude just had "it." I remember when BIG died and a lot of people were saying that Jay Z was gonna be the next "one" but in my eyes, Mos Def had all of the intangibles to be the next one. It was just something about Mos, he had everything you could want from a MC but of course Mos choose the Hollywood route banging out movies vs. dropping more Blackstarr and hip hop albums. But the same way I felt about Mos back in '96, is the same way I feel about Phonte. Money is a star, point blank period. And not only is Phonte one of the nicest MC's in the game but now money has added singing to his resume and he's dope at that too. So, 10 years after The Listening originally dropped, I'm FINALLY getting my wish for Phonte to drop that solo album and trust me, I'm ALL ears.
Charity Starts At Home plays like the soundtrack of the working man's life. Phonte finds a way to touch on the struggles that we all face on a daily basis, trying to balance love and life and does it in a way that will make you laugh, cry and nod your head all at the same time. My only beef with the project is I felt the some of the production could've been tighter. I totally get that the whole 9th Wonder/Phonte reunion was a big deal for all of the Little Brother fans out there but I would've loved for Phonte to venture out and grab some other producers to round out the project better. But at the end of the day, Phonte helps to dead my dude Sonny's philosophy from the "Bronx Tale" that the working man is a sucker cause just like Deniro had to school Calogero and let him know that the working man is the real tough guy, Phonte is telling us the exact same thing.

Q: Calculated column with custom ID I have a list form which contains 3 fields: Company (choice field), NewID (lookup number field) and MyID (number field with min/max values 0000-9999).
On NewID field lookup formula is set:
=IF([External-ID]>999,CONCATENATE("18",[External-ID]),IF([External-ID]>99,CONCATENATE("180",[External-ID]),IF([External-ID]>9,CONCATENATE("1800",
[External-ID]),CONCATENATE("18000",[External-ID]))))

Depends of what I will choose on "Company" I need to have different "prefix"+MyID=NewID.
Eg.: When I will choose in "Company" Comp1 (which has prefix "18") I should received NewID as 180001 etc.
How I can set start value for field MyID as "0000" and hide if from Form to be auto-increment (but not based on original ShP ID field).
Best,

In 1891, the beginning of a great tradition
Margaret Jane Merewether Power was a preacher's daughter who came from England to Montclair in 1874 with her husband. One summer day in 1890 she encountered a child who had fallen from a third-story window. Upset that there was no nearby healthcare facility where the child could be helped, she called on other women in her social circle to find a solution – marking the birth of Mountainside Medical Center. By 1891, a three-story cottage belonging to widow Eliza Sheridan had been purchased. Dr. John J.H. Love was named the first President of the Medical and Surgical Staff, and Mountainside Medical Center officially began its mission of "caring for, curing and nurturing the sick and injured." Today, nearly 130 years later, Mountainside Medical Center is still carrying out that mission. With 365 beds and 820,000 square feet in total, Mountainside Medical Center has come a long way. But some things never change. The compassion and commitment to the community felt by Mrs. Power continues to this day.

Roots, Rock & Deep Blues 9Blog
Roots Rock Deep Blues. The Hook Produces Another Delightful Summer Festival.
Summer is the season of music festivals around the Twin Cities. There are big ones and there are small DIY type deals. Obviously, when attending one of the big ones, you have a chance to catch one of your favorite national acts. The downside is the sheer hassle. Go too small and who knows what you're going to get? You avoid some hassle and expense but you often end up with acts that aren't quite ready for prime time. Our friends at The Hook and Ladder Theater get it just right. Year after year, Roots, Rock and Deep Blues is my favorite festival of the summer.
The formula is damn near perfect. It takes place in and outside of The Hook's compound in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis. Right off the bat, that's going to cap the size of the crowd at reasonable. Park within a couple blocks and walk in. Or ride a bike and they'll valet park it for you.
Best little music fest in Minneapolis: Roots, Rock and Deep Blues delivers again
Ninth annual Roots, Rock & Deep Blues Fest blazed on Saturday with standout sets by the Peterson Brothers, Shackletons, Humbird and Mary Cutrufello.
By Chris Riemenschneider
The music between its three stages ran nonstop for nine straight hours, but the vibe was as laid-back and unfussy as ever. The lineup was loaded with niche acts who often aren't easily categorized. The organizers, sponsors and concessionaires were almost all local and independent. And the cost for a ticket was on par with a parking fee at other big summer concerts.
But don't just take this reviewer's word for it that the Roots, Rock & Deep Blues Festival is consistently the coolest and most enjoyable music-led block party in Minneapolis.
Full Lineup for the 9th Annual Roots, Rock, and Deep Blues Festival
The Hook and Ladder Theater will deliver it's 9th Annual Roots, Rock, & Deep Blues Festival on July 12th and 13th. The two-day weekend event is the most eclectic in the history of the festival and features a diverse roster of artists and genres. The festival also boasts multiple stages, including the brand new Mission Room stage, featured in Music in Minnesota.
8th Annual Roots Rock & Deep Blues Festival Coming July 14
Summer is music festival season in Minnesota. Few things in life are more enjoyable than sunshine, live music and weekends out with friends. Many will opine that while it's far from the biggest, RRDB is the best of the bunch. I'm one who tends to agrees wholeheartedly. The 8th Annual rendition takes place in Minneapolis' Longfellow neighborhood.

EXCLUSIVE: Lightnin' Malcolm Streams His Latest, "Foot Soldier," And Tells Us All About His Globe Spanning Career As A Bluesman
When Lightnin' Malcolm's in the house, you better believe you'll know it. The born and bred Mississippian cut his teeth in the ride or die juke joint scene of the American south, and grew a reputation for making so much noise, people didn't believe it was coming from just one guy. With his One Man Band format– playing guitar and drums simultaneously, while singing– he puts lesser bluesmen to the shame. Even his genre can't be contained, his self titled "World Roots Music" a swirling mix of rock, funk, soul, gospel, reggae and more, tethered by his blistering brand of Hill Country Blues.

A Stepping Stone To A New Life 2014
One hundred Jewish children survivors of the Holocaust were brought to Clonyn Castle in Westmeath to recuperate from the trauma.
More than six million Jews were systematically exterminated by the Nazi regime during World War II, but it was not until 1949 that the Irish government permitted a group of one hundred traumatised and displaced children a one year visa to Ireland.
They came for rest, recuperation and care to Clonyn Castle near Delvin in County Westmeath, through the efforts of English Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld. Instrumental in rescuing thousands of Jews during the war, he continued his work when it ended, travelling to continental Europe to help those who had survived the concentration camps, especially children.
David Rosenfeld who was a pupil in a boarding school when he met Rabbi Schonfeld and agreed to spend a year in Ireland. A seriously ill and malnourished Murray Lynn was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945, his family all having perished in the Holocaust. Having made his way to Bratislava, he was offered a place on the Rabbi's transport to Ireland. Jerry Weiser been separated from his mother as a baby during the war, and was being cared for by a Christian family who were raising him as their own son.
In May 1949 the children arrived in at Clonyn Castle after months of negotiation between the Jewish organisation the Religious Emergency Council, and the Irish Department of Justice.
The castle had been purchased by a wealthy Jewish businessman, as one of the stipulations of the visa was that the project must be entirely self-sufficient. Unaware of all of this, Murray Lynn recalls how he felt as a teenager arriving there,
We were all bewildered and traumatised. We were all destabilized people. We were afraid of our own shadow, terribly fearful of our future.
The Gardaí who met them in Delvin had changed out of their uniforms so as not to frighten them, remembers local man Terence Moore. Unfortunately the year was marred by an isolated arson attack on the castle, during which the front door was burned.
Although the language barrier kept them at a distance from the locals, they remember them being going for walks with their carers around the village and being brought down to the local shoe shop for new plimsolls for the Jewish festival of Tisha B'Av. As David Rosenfeld remembers,
We had a very happy and very pleasant time there.
As part of The Gathering in 2013 the Delvin Historical Society prepared a reception to welcome back some of the children who had come to Clonyn Castle in 1949, and held a reception for them in the parish hall. There both sides met and talked about that time.
David Rosenfeld and Murray Lynn have happy memories of the year in Clonyn Castle playing with the other children in the extensive grounds of the castle and many games of football. Having all suffered similar traumas, the children were able to help each other, and the process of healing began,
It was a powerful catharsis for all of us, talking about ourselves, talking about our past, talking about our grief.
For Jerry Weiser, the break from war torn Europe in a supportive and caring environment allowed him to enjoy being a child,
I found myself again...it was so nice and warm and pleasant to be there.
All are glad that they returned to the place which and helped them begin to recover. They were received with open arms in Ireland, says Murray Lynn
They were the kindest, gentlest, nicest people that we ever met. It's the first time we were treated as human beings.
Would You Believe : The Children of Clonyn Castle was broadcast on 26 January 2014. The reporter is Mick Peelo.

Q: Operating backwords? In this code you will see it asks for a password. Please note that there is no real password system setup. I am new to c++ and I literally just learned about strings. I understand them but I am not getting good results. It is operating backwords? I do not understand string completely so I do not understand what is happening. I tried googling it but I couldn't find anything.
When I flip username with password it works just fine. So why is it running backwords?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

std::string password()
{
    std::cout << "Please enter your password. : ";
    std::string password;
    std::getline(std::cin, password);
    return password;
}

std::string username()
{
    std::cout << "Please enter your username. : ";
        std::string username;
        std::getline(std::cin, username);
        return username;
}
int main()
{

    std::cout << "Welcome to the test login! Please enter your username and password to enter. \n \n \n";
    std::cout << username() << password() << "\n \n \n";

    int noEnd{ 0 };
    std::cin >> noEnd;
    return 0;
}

Notice if I swap password with username it works.
    std::cout << "Welcome to the test login! Please enter your username and password to enter. \n \n \n";
    std::cout << password() << username() << "\n \n \n";

But this does not make sense to me. I am knew to c++ and just learned the basics of strings. Theoretically if I have the code like,
    std::cout << "Welcome to the test login! Please enter your username and password to enter. \n \n \n";
    std::cout << username() << password() << "\n \n \n";

username() should go first but, password() does instead?
Sorry I am knew please don't use like weird functions and things because I will probably not understand them . . . Yet.

A: Your compiler is evaluating std::cout << password() << username() << "\n \n \n" from right to left.
According to ccpreference

Order of evaluation of the operands of almost all C++ operators
  (including the order of evaluation of function arguments in a
  function-call expression and the order of evaluation of the
  subexpressions within any expression) is unspecified. The compiler can
  evaluate operands in any order, and may choose another order when the
  same expression is evaluated again.

The best option is to write code in a way that does not depend on the order it is evaluated.
std::string u = username();
std::string p = password();

std::cout << u << p << "\n \n \n";

Q: Can't initialize a geofire object in typescript I'm working with the ionic-framework version 2 and typescript.
Last week I integrated Firebase in my app, which worked fine. Now I want to integrate geofire too, but I can't initialize an instance of a geofire object.
My MainSearchPage class:
import { Component, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFire, FirebaseListObservable, FirebaseApp } from 'angularfire2';
import { GeoFire } from 'geofire';

constructor(public af: AngularFire, @Inject(FirebaseApp) firebaseApp: firebase.app.App) {
    var firebaseRef = firebaseApp.database().ref();
    var geofire = new GeoFire(firebaseRef);
}

But I always get the following error:

Error in ./MainSearchPage class MainSearchPage_Host - caused by: WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_7_geofire.GeoFire is not a constructor

Versions:
ionic-app-script 1.3.1,
typescript 2.0.6,
firebase 3.7.5,
angularfire 2.0.0-beta.8,
geofire 4.1.2,

I would appreciate any help.

A: Try importing Geofire like this
import * as GeoFire from "geofire";

'Dancing With the Stars' Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson wed in romantic ceremony
Like his older brother, Chmerkovskiy found love on the hit show.
April 14, 2019, 3:03 PM UTC / Updated April 14, 2019, 3:18 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
By Ronnie Koenig
It's official! "Dancing With the Stars" pros Valentin Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson are married. The pair said their vows in a ceremony on Saturday at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, overlooking the Pacific ocean in front of 200 guests including family and friends, People magazine reports.
"Mr. & Mrs. Chmerkovskiy 04~13~2019," Johnson posted to Instagram on Saturday. "Massive congrats !!!" commented "DWTS" castmate Derek Hough.

According to People, Val's brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and his sister-in-law, another "DWTS" pro Peta Murgatroyd, were in attendance. The elder Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd were married in a romantic ceremony in 2017. Also there to cheer the happy couple on were other alums of the show, including Johnson's former dancing partner Adam Rippon as well as Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, Artem Chigvintsev, Joe Amabile and Brandon Armstrong.

The bride wore a white Vera Wang gown with sheer long sleeves and a mermaid silhouette and carried a gorgeous bouquet of white roses. The groom donned a bespoke black velvet Brooks Brothers tuxedo. The pair walked down the aisle to a string quartet and met under a chuppah adorned with roses, peonies and other flowers, giving the ceremony a magic garden feel illuminated by flickering candles.

For the reception, a stunning five-tiered wedding cake featuring handmade sugar rosettes was made by Vanilla Bake Shop in Santa Monica, California.
Chmerkovskiy, 33, and Johnson, 25, began their romance in 2015 and went public with their relationship in 2017, sharing a kiss on the show's season 25 finale. After hinting at a proposal on social media, the dancers got engaged last June in Venice, Italy.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BkBaNzxFpyi
"I can't wait to make you my wife," Chmerkovskiy captioned the photo of him getting down on one knee to propose to Johnson with a diamond ring.
"My life has changed because of (her) and I find myself to be the best version of myself that I've ever been," Chmerkovskiy told People magazine. "She's awesome."

And the "be" does not refer to existence but rather to "for-profit".
I have been taking Dr. Paul Kim's graduate course in education at Stanford University, and the invaluable class discussions have really made me think about mobile technologies in education, business, and how exciting it is to navigate the ever-changing waters of the digital seascape.
In the last class we saw a presentation from Namita Dalmia, an MBA student, and a presentation from Leo Shmuylovich of Virtual Nerd. The presentations and discussions had me thinking about motivation. When we set our minds to come up with solutions to problems, improve the state of education, start a business, or pursue a new endeavor, where do our motivations lie?
When I am designing a new game or educational product, I have in my mind's eye the children that will be engaged with it. In my mind these children are curious about the world, hungry to learn, love to play and want to be an active participant in their exploration rather than a passive listener. I am motivated by these children to create the best educational tools that I can, while striving hard to take the creator out of the end product.
But like any other field, in educational technology, there are many players with varying motivations. For some, making money—and lots of it—is the motivating factor. This came up in class when we were discussing whether a not a viable business should be for-profit or non-profit. In a for-profit model, money is the motivating factor, especially when presenting the business proposal to investors. Investors want to see and hear how your business will make money, with the educational value of the product being secondary. Even if the educational value is substantial, and the need even greater, if it is not a viable money-making business model, then you may find yourself lacking in investment capital. In a non-profit model, while funding is a concern, it seems to me that the focus is on affecting positive changes without worrying about being profitable. This mission-focused model, as opposed to a money-making model, is at the forefront of my current perspective.
In an educational ecosystem where the technology is rapidly evolving, the need to stay focused on your mission is paramount. If your mission is to provide quality educational tools, you can focus on the best way to do that, and not be sidetracked by the most profitable way. Traditional, for-profit textbook companies start to seem obsolete when you can access a wealth of free information from the Khan Academy. The delivery systems are changing, and so too are the users. I feel that the best way to be adaptable to these changes is to be structured in such a way that you and your business can easily change direction to stay ahead of the curve. In my experience this is difficult to do when you are entrenched in a specific business model where the primary concern is being profitable. You are less likely to adapt and restructure if your current product is making money and keeping the investors happy.
Should making money be the motivating factor? Will changing the focus of my motivations help inform my product? Does it make it better or worse? When you examine two diametrically opposed motivations with different methodologies, how is your product or business model affected? Are you still able to focus on your mission if you are constantly concerned with ROI, especially when the return may not be measured monetarily? Is there a hybrid model that has experienced tremendous success in both worlds?
Should I suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune? Or take arms against a sea of troubles?
How many questions was that?

Thailand set to suspend visa on arrival for Chinese tourists
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul will today propose to the government to consider suspending granting of visa on arrival for Chinese tourists to tighten control to fend off possible spread of coronavirus.
The proposal comes hot on the heels of the World Health Organization's declaring the novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.
The minister, in his capacity as head of an ad hoc committee tasked with handling the health threat, dismissed as a fake news reports in some local media that as many as five million people from Wuhan have visited Thailand during the Chinese New Year festival. He insisted that only about 20,000 Chinese from Wuhan city had entered Thailand during the period.
He said that arrivals from China have already dropped in number, while the screening process for all passengers arriving from China has been tightened, with special gates for their flights and a separate arrival pathway, where passengers from those flights are subjected to three screening checkpoints.
Minister Anutin stressed that the Thai government is treating the health safety of the Thai people as its top priority.
He disclosed that the number of Chinese tourists in Thailand has dropped by about 80%, while new arrivals have also fallen sharply, noting each flight arriving from China now carries about 30 tourists compared to the normal average rate of about 200.
He also warned the public to keep abreast of news updates about the virus from the ministry and to be careful to avoid fake news.
In Phuket today, Phuket Wachira Hospital director, Dr. Chalermpong Sukonthaphon, disclosed that 10 people, out of 23 suspected of being infected with coronavirus since January 5th, are now at four hospitals pending laboratory tests.
Thirteen other suspected cases have been cleared of any infection and have all been discharged from hospital, he said.

Members of BLUEsat UNSW's groundstation team work on a variety of telecommunications engineering tasks.
BLUEsat UNSW's Groundstation Team works on communication with satellites. In the Groundstation Team, students from UNSW Sydney work on projects to develop Radio, Microwave and Visible/Infra-red Light communication systems. BLUEsat UNSW also operates and maintains a radio groundstation for use in ongoing space missions and telecommunication education. The groundstation team provides a platform for students to learn communication with electromagnetic radiation, satellite telecommunications and the operation and maintenance of radio hardware. In May of 2016, the BLUEsat ground station completed it's Stage 1 re-commissioning by bouncing an APRS packet off the International Space Station.
The BLUEsat Ground Station Team is associated with ACSER (Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research) in their operation of the EC0 CubeSat, which was Australia's first satellite in 15 years. The aim of the project is to gather research on thermospheric conditions and their interactions with aerospace equipment. ACSER is also a group under UNSW Sydney that focuses on space related technologies and research, often providing guidance for BLUEsat.
The groundstation is located in Sydney, Australia with capabilities in VHF and UHF. Our system is automated with tracking capabilities for remote operation and service for satellite communication.
BLUEsat UNSW also facilitates an Amateur Radio exam allowing for the certification and legal use of Amateur Radio frequency bands. This is in association with the St George Radio Society who provides the examination and staff.
Our projects involve the use of Visible/Infra-red Lasers for optical communication with Visible\Infra-red Light and the use of computer software to receive and process radio and microwave signals. We give students Telecommunications Engineering challenges which involve software, radio and electrical knowledge. Members are trained in these areas, even without prior knowledge.
BLUEsat's groundstation team support ACSER in comunicating with the EC0 satellite. One of the first satellites launched by Australians in 15 years.
Our ground station operates from UNSW Sydney's Kensington Campus. If you are a university or amateur group who need Southern Hemisphere groundstation support we may be able to help (depending on our volunteer's availability, workload and other constraints).
Interested in having BLUEsat support your space mission? Send us an email at info@bluesat.com.au.

Do you hear that? Startup wants to make silent fridges and air conditioners
By Jenny McGrath	 December 19, 2014
Semiconductors aren't just for computers and LEDs anymore, at least, not if Phononic has its way. The startup, which just raised $44.5 million in funding, wants to put its solid-state thermoelectric technology into consumer products such as fridges and air conditioners — and to revolutionize heating and cooling. By replacing compressors with semiconductor technology, these machines will be much, much quieter.
Compare the MacBook Air's solid state hard drive to a normal hard drive; the former lacks moving parts, meaning lower noise. The compressors in fridges and A/C units require fans, which are noisy. Mobile devices run cooler and often don't use fans, so there's no hum emitting from your smartphone. Additionally, the thermoelectrics won't require the refrigerants fridges use now.
Right now, Phononic is preparing to ship its commercial refrigerators for laboratories, research centers, and medical facilities. The units' "silent, vibration-free operation … eliminates sample degradation," according to the company. No moving parts means the appliances are less likely to break, it says. The fridges are efficient and particulate free and can even connect via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to send alerts. There's no compressor to take up space, either.
One future project for Phononic is a wine fridge with dual compartments for reds and whites. It's not clear if the company is focusing on a smaller fridge right now because the technology isn't yet efficient enough to work on a full-size model, however.
But Phononic would like to have a product in virtually every room of your home. The company foresees a time when its silent cooling compartments are incorporated into coffee tables and nightstands. Basically, you'll never have to move to get an icy beverage again. Pretty cool.

My drive for perfection makes it hard for me to accept anything less. I consistently push myself for improvement in nearly every arena. However, I am working at trying to change that.
Probably ten years ago, I discovered flylady.net, a great website that really shed some light on how I perceived myself. It was interesting to read her daily emails that claimed messy, cluttery homes were generally inhabited by perfectionists who had given up trying. If they couldn't keep their entire home perfectly clean at all times, then what was the point? These perfectionists, she claimed, considered themselves utter failures for their lack of perfection. To combat that perception, flylady sent daily emails encouraging you to set a timer and declutter your home for just five minutes at a time. It was a great idea and I implemented it for a while, but unfortunately quit some time ago.
The point is, I have been struggling with my own desire to be "the best", "the expert", or perfect for years now.
Today, I am giving myself permission to not be perfect. I did not run every time my Couch to 5K app told me to, but I did for most of them. That was certainly a huge improvement over yesterday.
Today, I am going to celebrate small victories.
Today, I am going to love me.
Natalie, I think the flylady is right. I am tired of trying to keep a perfect home. It is so-o-o overwhelming! And yes, I have considered myself a failure for not being able to "do it all." But, over the past few years, I have come to realize something…it's okay! It's not the end of the world. Going through all the medical nightmares I've been going through, I can't do nearly what I could do before. Nevertheless, sometimes there's a voice in my ear that tries to lay condemnation on me. I just tell it to go away, I don't want to hear it! God loves me for me, not for what I have done or what I will do. (Almost sounds like a song there:~) I am so glad you are going to love you. After God, you should be the first to love you. Keep up the great writing!

General Election 2019: Sevenoaks voters have unique opportunity to vote for Libertarian candidate Sean Finch
ByAlan Smith
ajsmith@thekmgroup.co.uk
Voters in Sevenoaks have an opportunity in this General Election that no other voters in Kent have. They can vote for a Libertarian Party Candidate.
The Libertarian Party (LP) of the United Kingdom is relatively new - it was founded in 2008 and has just 1,000 members across the country, but its supporters look for inspiration to America where the Libertarian Party is the third largest party after the Republicans and Democrats.
Sean Finch
LP UK is fielding five candidates in the election on December 12 and one of them, Sean Finch, will be standing in Sevenoaks.
Mr Finch, 32, lives within the constituency, in Swanley. He was born and brought up in Lewisham, but moved to Sevenoaks 10 years ago to take up the opportunity of becoming a retained fire-fighter.
He works as a postman and is single. He said he has a strong sense of civic duty and has previously served in the Territorial Army and as a volunteer with St John Ambulance.
He said he had always been interested in politics and in his youth joined the Green Party attracted by their environmental ethics. He left because they "swung too far to the left."
Prior to the referendum, he was a member of the Liberal Democrats canvassing for Lib Dem candidates, but he left after the referendum result. He said: "It was immediately apparent that the Lib Dems were not going to accept the result - they are not actually democrats."
Sean Finch with supporters
The Libertarian Party stands on the principles of reducing the role of the state to one of protecting individual's rights, reducing the burden of taxation and devolving decisions as close to the people whom they affect as possible – and it wants to see those principles enshrined in a written constitution for the United Kingdom.
Mr Finch will be chiefly be campaigning in favour of Brexit. He said the country needed to honour the will of the people.
This well be his fourth election battle in two years. He previously contested council seats in Orpington and Swanley and also contested the Lewisham By-election in 2018 caused by the resignation of Labour's Heidi Alexander, where he came 11th in a field of 14 candidates.
The Libertarian Party leader Adam Brown said: "We have seen from the last three years that our political system which so far has existed on a form of gentlemen's agreement, is not fit for purpose. We have a Parliament that is more unwilling than ever to honour the manifesto promises of its members.
"The time is right therefore for a written constitution which secures the rights of individuals and holds politicians to account."
You can contact Mr Finch on sean.finch@libertarianpartyuk.com
The other candidates standing in Sevenoaks are Paulette Furse (Ind), Seamus McCauley (Lab), Laura Trott (Con), Gareth Willis (Lib Dem) Paul Wharton (Green).

I definitely recognize that this is not a band that most people here are going to dig, however, they've sort of flown under the radar and I've been blasting this for a week straight - I'd played it a bunch of times before this but something just clicked this time around and I'm just being a total spastic about this record. I'd checked them out before a bunch of times before but had found their sound to be a little too close to Obscura and Necrophagist without adding anything especially standout to the technical progressive death metal genre, but the more I listen to it the more I'm seeing this record is just an exceptional standout - unlike a band like Decrepit Birth (whom I also think are great) there aren't really wild solos thrown in overtop of the riffing, but everything just seems to fit/flow/blend together in the songs without seeming intrusive to each other.
BIG Sean Malone influence i'm sure! Sorry but i'll stick to my "Focus" instead!

There are several competing stories as to where the first margarita was mixed and by whom, and Lord knows, we're not going to do a tango with that tar baby. Still, most folks can agree that the traditionally tequila-and-lime-based concoction has been around for more than half a century. So you can pretty much bet the hacienda on the fact that the initial margarita, despite its disputed origins, was not served frozen but rather on the rocks. There are plenty of purists who turn up their nostrils at these alcoholic Icees for just this reason. But we don't give a roadrunner's patootie about tradition. What we want from a margarita is salt, blended ice, a bowl-shaped glass big enough to eat Froot Loops out of, and enough tequila to subdue a snarling bobcat. That's why we pick Scottsdale's Salty Se--orita as the purveyor of the Valley's best margaritas. Not only do SS's margaritas meet all our basic criteria, they're like the Arnold Schwarzeneggers of Mexican cocktails, mocking those served elsewhere in the Valley as "girlie margaritas." The SS has 100 different brands of tequila to get you effed up on, and, as an added plus, on any given night of the week, the place is wall to wall with hot dudes and dudettes loudly pounding those jumbo, high-proof Slurpees like there's no tomorrow. Hey, what better way to hook up while downing your favorite, icy-cold beverage? Love or Cuervo, we don't care, as long as they're willing.

I had a dream last night that I was at Graceland. Maybe I was listening to too much Vampire Weekend, which reminded my brain of Paul Simon. Who knows.
Regardless, if you've never been to Memphis, I'd highly recommend a visit. The Mansion, well, that's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (Unless you're a die-hard fan, once will be more than enough). The Jungle Room is one of the most (in)famous rooms in the house – I haven't been there in almost twenty years and I can still remember the indoor waterfall and shag carpeting (on both floor and ceiling, I think). The story is that Elvis decorated this room in one day against the wishes of his father, Vernon, who Hated it. But as with everything in the house, the room still has its OTT charm.
I was thinking how great an inspiration/jumping-off point the jungle room would make. Of course, the trick is to maintain that precious balance between homage and kitsch while staying on the good side of taste. And, of course, time heals many design wounds, such as the ones caused by shag carpeting. We're at the point where I'd actually consider it, whereas my mom would make a puke face at the mere suggestion.
So here goes. The first thing I found was this awesome vintage-looking safari print bedding from the Company Store Kids. (It reminds me of the Star Wars sheets my brother had as a kid, except with animals). I built the room around the green rug and yellow accents (very 70s), including faux animal print textiles and lots of wicker and wood.
Then all you need are some fun stuffed animals, a Land Rover play truck and some plastic snakes, and you're all set for safari.


This thesis examines the relationship between physician communication style and patient satisfaction in the diagnostic medical interview. Patient satisfaction is a critical issue for health care organizations today. Health care organizations are coping with the recruitment and maintenance of patient consumers in a competitive and costly market.
The literature indicates that effective communication between the physician and the patient is important to patient satisfaction. The physician needs to structure the medical visit in order to acquire medical information and, at the same time, invite communication with patients to determine their concerns and needs. Patient satisfaction may ensue if the patient perceives the physician as possessing a positive communication style.

Discussion in 'Roadster' started by jory, Sep 3, 2012.
Ouch! That is really a shame... Btw, the car he hit was a Toyota Auris Hybrid, the same I'm driving. Coincidence?
There are 5 Tesla mechanics on location repairing the Roadster.
That would be great if it can somehow be fixed and still win the race.
so is that the reason why there's 5 tech's on it? Looks like it should be on the road soon by the pics.... Just needs some skin.

The Clock is Ticking for Important Decisions on Grid Security by Biden Administration
February 8, 2021 Secure the Grid
By Tommy Waller – Originally published by the Center for Security Policy
While President Biden's 90-day suspension of Executive Order 13920 (securing the U.S. bulk-power system) leaves the country vulnerable, his nominee for Secretary of Energy, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, has a chance to remedy this by recommending the implementation of a much stronger replacement order.
The suspended Executive Order 13920 had declared "a national emergency with respect to the threat to the United States bulk power system," and warned "that foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system."
Countries hostile to the United States have been able to exploit supply chain vulnerabilities. When American utility companies buy equipment manufactured in countries like Russia and China (or built with components from these and other hostile nations), they give these adversaries the ability to install hardware or software that could monitor or disable important functions of the grid.
In 2012, Russia began supply chain penetration and in 2014 active cyber intrusions into the U.S. grid in the form of malware. The FBI investigated the 2014 intrusions, but the report was never released publicly. In December 2016, Russian hackers activated malware in the network of Ukraine's national grid, causing an unprecedented blackout in Kyiv and what should have been a wake-up call in America.
Meanwhile, "experts in the five or six critical infrastructures, including the CONUS national security functions, have grave concerns and some actual experiences (i.e., malware-related election intrusions), in the capabilities of the Russian Federation to seriously disrupt the grid," George Cotter, a cryptologist and forty-year veteran of the National Security Agency said.
Last year, a Chinese built transformer offloaded at the Port of Houston by was seized U.S. Government officials and transported, with federal escort, to Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) where it was presumably analyzed.
"If there are hardware backdoors in the Chinese-made transformer at SNL in addition to the known backdoor in the Chinese-made transformer installed at a US utility substation, the question then becomes how many other Chinese-made transformers already installed in the US grid (and elsewhere) have hardware backdoors?" industrial control cybersecurity expert Joe Weiss asked.
These vulnerabilities exist partially because the regulators for the bulk power system – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) – have, for years, refused to create or enforce effective regulations with respect to the supply chain and cybersecurity. This is what necessitated Executive Order 13920 in the first place.
Biden's suspension of the order stated: "The Secretary of Energy and the Director of OMB shall jointly consider whether to recommend that a replacement order be issued." The deadline is April 20, 2021.
Fortunately, Biden's nominee for Secretary of Energy, former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, may to be up to the task.
In her confirmation hearing before the Senate Energy Committee, Governor Granholm responded to a question on cybersecurity from Chairwoman Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) by stating, "We have to harden our electric grid for protection of our energy system. I hope that this is a part of the infrastructure package that will be coming from the administration as well." This is very encouraging.
Murkowski's question surrounded the SolarWinds hack during which Russia compromised hundreds of federal agencies and American businesses in what many experts have called the worst cyberattack in history. Separately, China also used SolarWinds to hack a federal payroll agency covering 600,000 employees – including intelligence agents. These attacks demonstrate that China and Russia have the ability and willingness to hack U.S. government agencies and should strengthen American resolve to fortify the grid and close all vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
The Senate should prioritize confirming Granholm as Secretary of Energy so she can begin addressing these weaknesses immediately.
Once Granholm is confirmed, she should be immediately provided a copy of the 2014 FBI report and be briefed on the Chinese-made transformer at SNL.
She must also be aware that she will be the target of influence by major utility organizations and associations who have traditionally lobbied against stricter supply chain cybersecurity provisions for the electric grid, citing that they would be "unduly burdensome."
For instance, Edison Electric Institute (EEI) has lobbied to defer and delay the implementation of cybersecurity regulations and they have close ties to China.
"Scott Aaronson, vice president for security and preparedness at EEI, praised Biden's order, saying the move provides more time to get new DOE officials up to speed," E&E News reported.
Meanwhile, in an effort to actually help Governor Granholm "get up to speed" and understand the urgency of situation, the Secure the Grid Coalition has sent her an important letter detailing policy recommendations to strengthen EO 13920 and secure grid vulnerabilities that can be exploited by adversaries like China and Russia.
Now, it's up to the Senate to confirm her for the position and for her to fulfill that commitment to "harden the grid." The clock is ticking.

Q: OnClickListener of ImageView is not Working image123(ImageView) works normal but when it comes to ONclickListener it does not work even after using different methods of Calling the listener.
I put func(),which contain findviewbyid of image123 (ImageView) just after SetContentView() and it works fine .OnclickListener of image123 does not works when func() is in OnClicklistener of Reset Button as Shown in the Code.
Problem:
How can i call the func() in reset button onclicklistener as well as in start at Oncreate() Activity?
It catch an exception shown in Log cat

- Exception at Onclick Listener" ,"java.lang.NullPointerException

     public class MainActivity extends Activity {
     ImageView image123;

    int[] resultid=new int[25];

        Button buttonExit;
      Button buttonreset;

            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

     buttonreset=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button_reset);
     buttonExit=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button_exit);

     v1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.name);
     v2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.fruit_count);
     //--------------------------Exit Button---------------------------
     buttonExit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            finish();

        }
    });

    //*******************Exception comes here*********************
     try{
     image123.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            Log.d("Listner Called", "Listner Called");

        }
    });
     }
     catch(Exception e)
     {

         Log.d("Exception at onclickListener", e.toString());

     }

     buttonreset.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

 func();

        }});
}

void func()
{
    String as=null;
    int resultid;

    SecureRandom random=new SecureRandom();
image123=new ImageView(this);
    as=("img"+1).toString();
    resultid=getResources().getIdentifier(as, "id","com.example.selectiongame"      );
    Log.d(as, ""+resultid);
    image123=(ImageView) findViewById(resultid);

    as="drawable"+(random.nextInt(3)+1);
    resultid = getResources().getIdentifier(as, "drawable", "com.example.selectiongame");
    Log.d(as, ""+resultid);
    image123.setImageResource(resultid);
}

A: Try creating an array of ResIDs and an array of ImageViews.  Then do something like this instead of initializing them with findViewById()...
for(int i = 0; i < res_arr.length; i++)
{
    images[i] = new ImageView(this);
    images[i].setImageResource(res_arr[i]);
    images[i].setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Log.d("Button_Clicked", "Button Clicked");
        }
    });
}

A: *

*You must not findviewbyid() of an ImageView in some other function other than Oncreate(Bundle b) or Some Listener(e.g OnclickListener ,onselectionchange etc) . if you want to findviewbyid(...) of a view in a function other than Oncreate ,Atleast Call that function once after SetContentView() and other prerequisite Findviewbyid(...).

2.
In order to Refresh your Activity ,when you can not use function containing findviewbyid(...) of ImageView,like in my case,  in body some button(e.g Refresh ,Reset) OnclickListner .You must write the following code
     buttonreset.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

 Bundle newBundle=new Bundle();
 onCreate(newBundle);

//func();     >>We can not use this func() here if we are using it in Oncreate(...) in case of Array of ImageView

        }});
}

For views other than Imageview ,Maybe Regular Line of Code work ...But in case of ImageView or Array of ImageView ....These things must be kept in mind and Simply Oncreate() must be used to Refresh.


SPX is coming this weekend and I'm gonna be there sellin' books, prints, and all sorts of good stuff! To celebrate me getting out of the house, I suddenly decided to update Gastrophobia 3 times this week instead of once! Surprise!

Q: regasm on a .net framework library now wants netstandard 2.1.0.0 I have a .net framework 4.8 library I have been working on for months in VS19. The project is configured to "Register for COM interop" (which runs regasm.exe on the dll).
Recently (in last few days) I installed VS22 and have been playing around with some .net core projects in here.
I have come back to my original library in VS19 which when compiling now reports (during the regasm call):
Cannot register assembly "X:\<removed>\my-lib.dll". Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I get the same result from manually trying to register the dll or trying to load and compile the project in VS22. I have installed all VS19 updates and rebooted the computer, no change.
It is my understanding that netstandard 2.1 has nothing to do with framework and netstandard is not specifically mentioned anywhere in my code or config. The gacutil /l output shows netstandard 2.0.0.0 is installed but nothing else.
It would seem the installation of VS22 may have shifted something in my environment and I'm not sure how to correct it?
