In recent years, drones have become more accessible and imaging systems are now available smaller and lighter than ever, making the prospect of aerial leak detection much more feasible. The UAV Imaging Platform is being used to develop a method for leak detection in irrigation canals and municipal underground pipelines. Much water loss can be attributed to failures in infrastructure which allow water to leak and seep out on the way to its intended destination.
The main advantage of an aerial detection system is the area of land around canals and pipelines that can be surveyed with a single flight. The system currently consists of a DJI M600 hexacopter equipped with thermal, multispectral, and visual cameras. After a flight is completed, images from each camera are assembled and processed experimentally to isolate potential leak locations for each site.


Advances in modern medicine have revolutionized the ability to treat patients and prolong life, but have simultaneously led to challenging dilemmas in cases of patients dependent on life support equipment. Some live on in a state of terminal illness, comatose or even in a "Persistent Vegetative State" – sometimes for years.
Consequently, whereas in the past people would die with limited medical intervention, modern technology has changed the face of medical care and the process of dying. How to manage end of life care is a growing concern across the globe – one that crosses legal, moral, and religious lines. The use of living wills stipulating euthanasia (when the life-shortening procedure or withholding of treatment is done by another party such as a physician) and physician-assisted suicide (when the patient takes his life, guided by the physician) have become increasingly sought-after options in the end of life decision-making process.
Although prohibited in most countries worldwide, as of 2013, euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg and physician-assisted suicide is legal in Belgium, Germany, Holland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the US states of Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. It is therefore critical to understand the Jewish ethical and legal perspectives to navigate end of life care situations. This shiur will explore Jewish views on the value of life, the treatment of terminally ill patients, euthanasia and patient autonomy.

China's high-speed rail ambitions not being bought by the West
on: November 14, 2010 In: This Week in China, Transport & LogisticsTags: No Comments
Last week, in Beijing, I met with Ulf Henriksson, the chief executive of Invensys, and chatted about China's high-speed rail plans. Invensys manufactures the control systems for trains and has a partnership with China Southern Rail. Mr Henriksson said his systems were so advanced they could tell how many people were in each carriage and adjust the power of the train accordingly.
High-speed rail is under scrutiny again in China, with opponents saying that the enormous cost of the lines will never be made back in ticket sales. Those in favour point out that transferring people onto high-speed trains frees up ordinary lines to haul freight, and that there has been a 13% increase in coal deliveries this year, helping to keep prices down as we move into winter.
Mr Henriksson believes that if a country can afford to buy high-speed rail, its returns on investment are "very high". He said: "At the moment if you go on a high-speed train, you do not see your average Joe. So it has not been an investment for the majority of people right now. But the question is: will that be different in five years?"
"Over time, it will prove its worth. Look at Spain, which is the last country to go high-speed. I don't hear criticism there. I hear about how pleased they are. I don't think France or Germany are going to go back to normal lines either. They would never consider it. And if American consumers could just imagine what it would be like without commuter airlines, coming into the middle of the city, how you can work on the train and not be all crammed, well, they will change too," he said.
Part of the reason behind the development of high-speed rail in China is strategic, with China hoping to sell its new expertise abroad. But Mr Henriksson says that so far they have not found any buyers. "Have I see Chinese bidders around the world? Absolutely," he said. "But they have not been as successful as they would like to be, and I think our relationship may help solve some of those problems," he said.

Currently, Canadian crude oil is transported from Canada to the Texas refineries via the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF). BNSF is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, and the controlling owner of Berkshire Hathaway is Warren Buffett who is one of the wealthiest men in America and the world.
As our friends at "Godfather Politics" noted BNSF Railroad makes about $30 for every barrel of Canadian crude oil they transport to the Texas refineries for an annual income of around $2 billion. If the Keystone XL Pipeline was approved and completed, it is estimated that it would cost only about $10 per barrel to transport the crude oil from Canada to Texas. If that happened, Buffett's railroad stands to lose nearly $2 billion of annual revenue.
$2 billion is not chicken scratch even to Warren Buffett; it is a huge wealth transfer from Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway company to the shareholders of the Keystone XL pipeline.
But Berkshire Hathaway's energy-related crony capitalism doesn't stop there.
As former Congressman Ernest Istook of Oklahoma observed in an interview with NewsMax, of the $40 billion annually doled out to various green energy incentives, grants and loans, one of the biggest magnets for public funds is a wind energy tax credit first enacted in 1992.
"For every megawatt hour that [producers] generate through wind energy, they get $23 from the U.S. Treasury," he Istook told NewsMax.
"I want to give you a quote, though, from one individual who was a major wind energy investor and getting a lot of these tax benefits: Warren Buffett," said Istook, citing the Nebraska-based billionaire investment guru.
"These are his words, not mine: 'We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.' Those are Warren Buffett's words," said Istook.
"The people that are making this investment recognize that unless they can get these crony capitalism dollars, it's a bad investment," he said. "But government is paying them to do that. It's paying some people to get rich at our expense while our utility bills go up."
Berkshire Hathaway is also one of the biggest insurers in the world, and guess why billions of dollars in life insurance are purchased every year?
As a hedge against prospective estate taxes, that's why.
In fiscal year 2010, the IRS collected a net $18.9 billion in estate and gift taxes – this represents a huge market for insurance.
And some 70 or the companies owned in part or in whole by Berkshire Hathaway are insurance-related, although to all of them are in the life insurance business.
So while Warren Buffett says he supports the estate tax and sounds like a straight shooting guy who believes in the Obama-Democratic Party goals of wealth redistribution through the estate tax, he is actually profiting from the $18 billion-plus potential market for life insurance hedges against the policies he supports.
Berkshire Hathaway has benefited from any number of crony capitalist deals with Democrats and the Obama administration.
From stopping safety upgrades to railroad tank cars, to scotching the Keystone XL pipeline, to Buffett's strange support for the estate tax that he will never pay (because a huge portion of his assets are going into a trust managed by fellow estate tax supporter Bill Gates) to expensive "green energy" investments that are nothing more than raids on the U.S. Treasury the "Oracle of Omaha" has made many shrewd investments, and one of the best was Barack Obama.
Submitted by joseph.foster on Fri, 12/19/2014 - 15:41.
I wonder if Buffett ever read Atlas Shrugged. If he did I am sure that he would recognize himself as being one of the central characters that Rand was warning us against. You know! If you can't make your money by the sweat of your brow or your own innate intelligence, then you might as well become a crony-capitalist like this poster child representing the worst of both government and lazy and stupid capitalism!


Maryland Association of Counties Associate Director Les Knapp and Anne Arundel County Director of Planning and Zoning Larry Tom testified at a House Environmental Matters briefing on January 26 about whether to continue legislation requiring counties and municipalities to extend the expiration dates for building permits. House Bill 921 and Senate Bill 958 of 2009 required building permits issued by the State or local governments to extend their tolling (or running) period. The bill also had a retroactive clause that "brought back" expired permits.
After a discussion of the bill's provisions and status by representatives from the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP), both Mr. Knapp and Mr. Tom testified that the legislation should not be renewed. Mr. Knapp noted that MACo continued to have serious concerns about the legislation, citing numerous legal and interpretational challenges contained in the MDP report. He argued that counties already have the authority to modify their building permit process and they should retain the ability to make those decisions.
The Maryland Municipal League also testified against the extension.

Designed by Mass Architecture Studio, the building will span 34,285 square feet, of which around 14,200 square feet will be used for business and medical office space. Project features will include a green roof, as well as parking for nine cars and ten bicycles. Permits list Andrew Ferguson as the contractor and indicate a construction cost of $3.5 million.

7101 Woodland Avenue will rise from a rectangular footprint measuring 109 by 59 feet, with an outdoor parking lot accessible via 71st Street. The structure will rise around 53 feet to the top of the main roof, significantly less than the allowed 60-foot height, and around 55 feet to the top of the parapet and 63 feet to the top of the pilot house.
A ubiquitous programming scheme for mid-sized mixed-use buildings consists of commercial space on the ground floor and residences above. In a highly unusual move, in addition to the medical office space on the ground and basement levels, the remainder of the business space will be situated on the top floor, while most of the residential space will be situated on floors two and three.
This arrangement is clearly reflected in the floor-to-floor heights for the structure, which will measure 14 feet at the first and fourth floors and 11 feet at the second and third stories.

The green roof will span an impressive 7,374 square feet, covering most of the roof space; unfortunately for the residents, it will not be available for recreational use nor will it feature a roof deck; the pilot house will be reserved for maintenance purposes only.
The development will replace a parking lot, an overgrown lawn, and a rear garage belonging to the Williams & Palmer Funeral Home. The funeral home's main structure, an understated yet generally attractive three-story prewar building, will be preserved and separated into a different zoning parcel.

Although the building's stone veneer at the ground floor and siding-clad second story are rather homely in comparison to the city's finer structures, its relatively large size, long-time presence at the site, and mansard third story with dormer windows make its preservation a positive for the location. In the meantime, the construction of an even larger building on a largely vacant adjacent lot will be a significant beneficial addition to a neighborhood that does not see as much construction as its counterparts elsewhere throughout the city, and its ground-floor businesses will positively reinforce the street corner.
The added density is amply justified by the site's transit adjacency, as the route 11 trolley runs along Woodland Avenue. While we would like to see more preservation and renovations of prewar buildings throughout Southwest Philadelphia, the neighborhood's abundance of vacant and underbuilt sites, as well as a unique density of trolley lines, poise it as highly favorable for ample future development similar in scale and purpose to the project proposed at 7101 Woodland Avenue.

Thank you!
Be sure to get an exact 1/2 cup of coconut flour by using the back of a straight edged knife to level off the flour even with the top edge of the measuring cup. Measure all dry ingredients (coconut flour down to ginger) in a large mixing bowl. If you freeze your coconut flour (like I do with mine to keep it moist and fresh), you may sift after measuring to make sure there are no little hard clumps.
Place 3 eggs into your Magic Bullet, blender or food processor with 1/2 cup of cooked carrots and 1/2 cup pumpkin. Feel free to use any kind of winter squash or any combination of pumpkin, winter squash or carrots.
Place melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla into a small bowl. Add the winter squash and eggs mixture into the bowl and whisk.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer, blend for 1-2 minutes until completely mixed. As the coconut flour absorbs the liquids the mixture will go from a very runny consistency to a thicker consistency.
Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes so that the coconut flour can absorb the liquids.
Use coconut oil to grease a mini muffin tin.
Lightly sprinkle coconut flour into the bottom of each muffin cup.
Measure out two tablespoons of batter for each popper. It would be awesome to have one of these:Norpro 703 Grip-EZ 2-Tablespoon Stainless Scoop.
The batter should be of the consistency where you can pick it up in your hands and form into a little ball. If you have to use a tablespoon measurement like me, be sure that you completely meld the two parts together, otherwise when they bake you will end up with little splits and fissures where you placed them together. If by chance your batter is not thick enough, add in coconut flour by the teaspoon waiting a minute or two in between adding more. If your batter is too thick, you could try adding more pumpkin.
Drop into the muffin tins. I don't advise using cupcake papers for this recipe – in the last step you will drizzle a liquid cinnamon topping which will make a sticky mess of the papers so it is best to just put them bare naked into the muffin tin.
For the topping mix 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter) with 1 tablespoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
When the poppers are done, as soon as you remove them from the oven using a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon drizzle 1/4 teaspoon of the topping mixture on each popper.
The topping will melt into the popper and will also spill down and soak into the bottom.
Carefully remove each popper, they should not stick because of the coconut flour placed under each one but I had a couple that were still a little stubborn and didn't want to come loose.

Q: Why does Visual Studio sometimes add a number when creating page events in codebehinds? When writing up a codebehind in Visual Studio for ASP.NET web forms applications, I often use the dropdowns at the top of the window to autogenerate page event handlers (e.g. Page_Load, Page_PreRender). I've noticed that sometimes Visual Studio likes to add numbers to these function names like "Page_Load1" or "Page_PreRender2".
Programatically speaking, this has no effect on the code. But stylistically, I find it a bit ugly. Is there any way to get rid of this behavior?

A: VS will do this if the event handler already exists, but has been disconnected  from the event.
You can reproduce this behavior as follows.

*

*Create a form with only a button (leave the default name of Button1

*Double-click it to create the event handler Button1_Click
What you may not realize is that in addition to the code-behind, there is also a file for the designer and the .resx.  I'm not sure which one has what, and I am not at a PC with Visual Studio, but in one of those files, there is a bunch of code defining the button, including a line that starts with
Button1.Click += new EventHandler
or something along those lines.
At this point all is good.. NOW to disconnect the button from the event...

*

*In the form designer, delete the button

At this point, the Button1_click event handler still exists in code behind but is not tied to an event (because the button whose event it was tied to has been deleted.)

*

*Drag a new button onto the form (still named Button_1)

At this point, there is a new Button_1, but the event handler is still not tied to your original Button1_Click event.  So if you double-click on the button, a new eventhandler will be created (Button1_Click1())

A: I assume it would be happening because you've already got a method named Page_Load in the current scope: Visual Studio has to differentiate between your existing method and the new one somehow.
Note that if you remove an event handler, Visual Studio only deletes the method in the code-behind file if it's empty: if you've modified the code, then it won't delete it from the code-behind file.

The Big Picture: 5 Viewpoints On HP's Acquisition Of Aruba Networks
Mar 10, 2015 | News Archive
Originally posted by Mark Haranas on March 4, 2015
HP Partners: HP Vs. Cisco
HP partners said the acquisition is going to put pressure on the networking giant Cisco due to Aruba's wireless product line combined with the power of HP.
[highlight type="one"]"This deal to me shows the vulnerability of Cisco and the fiefdom Cisco had in networking," said Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech, a Hauppauge, N.Y.-based HP and Aruba partner. "HP is going after Cisco for a bigger piece of that market."[/highlight]
In the most recent quarter, HP showed an 11 percent drop in networking sales, compared to a strong quarter from Cisco, which included 11 percent sales growth in its switching business.
HP partners hope the acquisition will cut into Cisco's wireless market share.
Cisco Partners: No Big Deal
Cisco partners are brushing off the acquisition, saying many other vendors like itself and Dell have done similar acquisitions, such as Cisco buying Meraki and Dell acquiring SonicWall.
"Cisco's acquisition of Meraki was quite a bit more prescient. They were ahead of the curve with a cloud-based wireless controller, and I think that HP is kind of just playing a 'me too' role in that capacity," said Tom Clancy, a founding partner at the New York-based company Valiant, a Cisco partner.
Other Cisco partners said HP has a bad history of acquiring companies then letting them fall by the wayside.
Aruba Partners: Cautiously Optimistic
Despite record revenue coming in at $212.9 million for its second-quarter earnings unveiled last week, Aruba partners are hesitant to celebrate following the news of the acquisition.
Partners were initially concerned that the acquisition could hurt their Aruba business, as well as put tension on already established relationships with vendors like Juniper Networks and Brocade Communications.
As more information about the acquisition came to light, partners were a bit more comfortable about the deal, but are still not completely onboard. Partners were happy Aruba executives would still be leading the wireless network, as well as keeping their philosophy of open system networking.
"It appears that they're going to let [CEO] Dominic [Orr] and [CTO] Keerti [Melkote] lead the networking group and keep them very separate, autonomous, and this could be a good kind of change for HP — a good direction to go down," said Bill Tracy, director of solution architecture at Portland, Ore.-based solution provider Structured Communication Systems, an Aruba and Juniper partner. "[I'm] cautiously optimistic."
Aerohive: Dell Might Be Hurt
Abby Strong, Aerohive's director of product marketing, said in a blog post on Monday that some Aruba relationships could be in jeopardyfollowing the acquisition.
"I suspect the relationship with Dell will be the most volatile," she wrote. "Dell not only fights for switch business with HP, but they've also spent a significant amount of money customizing the Aruba OEM software to fit into their portfolio."
Strong is somewhat optimistic that the acquisition could benefit Aruba partners in the long run.
"Aruba channel partners may not be happy having to compete against the huge HP channel in products and services, as well as meeting the more stringent HP partnership requirements," she said. "Past aAruba: Everything Is Going To Be Fine
Aruba is telling its channel community that there is nothing to be afraid of, and the acquisition will actually help grow their business because partners will be able to utilize a much larger and broader HP portfolio.
"Aruba partners are going to have far greater resources available to them, a broader solution portfolio that's available to them, better ability to drive business and demand," said Greg Murphy, vice president of business operations. "Frankly, we think that combining with HP, that we and our partners will get higher-level access to larger enterprises than we're currently able to do by ourselves, and that is one of the main strategic drivers for this."
Murphy said both Aruba and HP share the same vision of open system networking, and partners have the opportunity to capitalize on the trend of "mobility-first" by working together with HP.

A Promise for "The Gentle"
What comes to mind as you read Jesus's words, "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5)? Truth be told, we may get a false first impression. We may think, Blessed are the weak for they shall become doormats.
What comes to mind as you read Jesus's words, "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5)?
A wild stallion that has been tamed, brought under control, is described as being "gentle."
Carefully chosen words that soothe strong emotions are referred to as "gentle" words.
Ointment that takes the fever and sting out of a wound is called "gentle."
In one of Plato's works, a child asks the physician to be tender as he treats him. The child uses this term, "gentle."
Those who are polite, who have tact and are courteous, and who treat others with dignity and respect are called "gentle" people.
So then, gentleness includes such enviable qualities as having strength under control, being calm and peaceful when surrounded by a heated atmosphere, emitting a soothing effect on those who may be angry or otherwise beside themselves, and possessing tact and gracious courtesy that causes others to retain their self-esteem and dignity. Clearly, it includes a Christlikeness, since Jesus uses the same term to describe His own character (Matthew 11:28–29).
And what does the promise mean "for they shall inherit the earth"? It can be understood as one of two ways—now or later. Either "they ultimately win out in this life," or "they will be given vast territories in the kingdom, to judge and to rule." Instead of losing, the gentle gain. Instead of being ripped off and taken advantage of, they come out ahead!
Even though from all outward appearances it seems the wicked are winning, it won't last. They prosper in their way, their schemes work, their cheating and lying and unfair treatment of others appear to pay off. They just seem to get richer and become more and more powerful. But God says it won't be forever (Psalm 37:7–11). The ultimate victory will not be won by the wicked. The "gentle" will win.
Believe that truth! Be different from the system! Trust your heavenly Father to keep His promise regarding your inheritance. It is you who will be blessed.
Being gentle means having strength under control, being calm in a heated atmosphere, and possessing tact.

What Is the DTaP Vaccine?
More in Healthy Kids

What Diseases Does the DTaP Vaccine Protect You From?
When Does Your Child Get the DTaP Vaccine?
Does the DTaP Vaccine Have Side Effects?
Should Any Child Skip The DTaP Vaccine?
The DTaP vaccine is a vaccine given to children age 6 and under. It protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis—bacterial infections that can cause severe disease. Older children and adults don't receive DTaP vaccines; instead, they receive a different version of the vaccine called Tdap.
Similar to other immunizations, the DTaP vaccine works by exposing your child to a very small dose of the bacteria, thereby prompting your child to develop immunity and protecting them from future infections. However, if your child already has one of these infections, the vaccine will not be able to treat it.
Like all immunizations, the DTaP vaccine can't provide 100% protection from these diseases, but DTaP is considered a reliable vaccine, and protects the majority of children who receive it.
If we stopped vaccinating against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, we would see a rise in these infections among children. Thanks to DTaP and Tdap, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis are vaccine-preventable infections.
Top 20 Vaccines You Should Know About
DTaP vaccines protect against three serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Let's take a look at what these diseases are, and how they can affect children.
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection that can be spread from person to person. It produces a thick coating in the nasal passages, throat, and airways. In many cases, it can cause complications such as breathing issues, heart issues, and paralysis. The fatality rate from diphtheria is as high as 20% in kids under 5 years old. Children continue to die of diphtheria in areas where they are not vaccinated.
Tetanus isn't passed from person to person, but is contracted when the tetanus bacteria enters the bloodstream through a cut in the skin. Signs of a tetanus infection include a tightening of the muscles throughout the body. Tetanus also causes "lockjaw," where the person's jaw becomes locked and they cannot open their mouth to eat, speak, or swallow. Tetanus is deadly in about 2 out of 10 cases.
Pertussis, otherwise known as whooping cough, causes more than just a bad cough. Contagious via person to person contact, pertussis causes severe coughing fits that can make it difficult to breathe, eat, or drink. These spells can last for several weeks. Pertussis can cause pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and death. Pertussis in babies under a year old is particularly dangerous, as the coughing and respiratory distress can be severe. Some babies need a ventilator to breathe for them until they recover.
Do You Really Need a Tetanus Shot?
The DTaP vaccine is part of your child's regular immunization schedule. The DTaP vaccine is given five times between the ages of 2 months and 4 to 6 years. It may be given with other vaccinations. Children over the age of 6 do not receive a DTaP vaccine; instead, they receive boosters via the Tdap vaccine.
Here is the current DTaP vaccine schedule, courtesy of the Academy of American Pediatrics (AAP):
After 6 years of age, your child ages out of the DTaP vaccine and will receive the Tdap vaccine. The CDC recommendation is one Tdap vaccine between the ages of 11 and 12 as a booster to the DTaP vaccine.
It's also recommended that pregnant women receive a Tdap booster in the early portion of the third trimester, to protect their newborns from pertussis after birth. It's also recommended that any adult who did not receive a Tdap booster do so, and that boosters be given every ten years.
What Are the Recommended Vaccines for Adults?
When you begin vaccinating your child, you may feel worried about what side effects any particular vaccine may have. In general, you should know that all vaccines undergo rigorous testing, and even though most have side effects, usually the side effects are mild, such as soreness at the vaccine site, and low grade fever.
Except in rare cases, your child's experience of a vaccine's side effects will be much more mild than if they had contracted the disease that the vaccine is meant to protect them from.
DTaP vaccines generally cause mild side effects, and also rarely cause allergic reactions. Most reactions will happen within one to three days of vaccination. Here's what to know about possible vaccine side effects.
Most Common Mild Side Effects
1 in 4 children will get a fever
1 in 4 children will get redness and swelling at the vaccine site
1 in 4 children will experience soreness at the vaccine site
These common reactions may become more prevalent and severe after doses four and five of DTaP. In these cases, your child may experience more widespread swelling of the arm or leg where the shot was given.
Other, Less Common Mild Side Effects
1 in 3 children will be fussy and cranky
1 in 10 children will be fatigued and have a poor appetite
1 in 50 children will vomit
Uncommon, Moderate Side Effects
1 in 14,000 children with have a seizure
1 in 1,000 children will cry for over three hours
1 in 16,000 children will experience a high fever over 105 degrees Fahrenheit
Rare Severe Side Effects
1 in one million children will have a severe allergic reaction
Other reported severe reactions have included: seizures, comas, permanent brain damage, and decreased consciousness. These reactions have been so rare that experts have not been able to deduct definitively if they were caused by the vaccine.
What to Do If Your Child Has a Mild Side Effect
Low grade fevers and soreness at the vaccine site can be treated with age-appropriate pain medication, as recommended by your pediatrician. Cold packs and baths can also help reduce pain and swelling.
What to Do If Your Child Has a Severe Side Effect
Any moderate side effects should be reported to your pediatrician promptly. Severe side effects, such as a very high fever, hives, face swelling, swelling of the throat, breathing issues, rapid heartbeat, loss of consciousness, or anything else troubling necessitates emergency services.
Always go with your instincts: if you think something is wrong with your child, get them emergency care right away.
Again, the vast majority of children will not have any adverse side effects from the DTaP vaccine, besides minor discomfort. But there are some children who should not receive a DTaP vaccine, including:
Children who are moderately or severely ill at time of the vaccine (children who have minor illnesses, like the common cold, can receive the DTaP vaccine)
Children who have had major allergic reactions to previous DTaP vaccines
Children who experienced a brain or nervous system disease as a result of a DTaP vaccine
Worried About Vaccines? Unvaccinated Children Can Have Autism, Too
The topic of vaccinating your baby or child can get very heated in parenting circles these days. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about vaccines floating around. That can make learning about the effectiveness and safety of vaccines very confusing for parents.
We all want to do what is best for our children, and that means looking to trusted, reliable sources of information to get facts about vaccines. Thankfully, organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Academy of American Pediatrics (AAP) can provide you with balanced data so that you can make smart choices.
Your pediatrician is also a wonderful resource for you and can answer your questions based on your concerns, as well as the particular health needs of your child.

PME Ministry sends proposal to scrap this year's PEC exams
Mamun Abdullah
Published at 04:46 pm August 19th, 2020
MEHEDI HASAN
Moreover, if the proposal gets approved, then scholarship payments for these examinations will not be awarded this year
The Ministry of Primary and Mass Education (PME) has sent a proposal to the Prime Minister's Office for scrapping this year's Primary Education Certificate (PEC) examinations as schools across the nation remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Md Zakir Hossain signed the letter in this regard on Tuesday. The proposal has been sent to the Prime Minister's Office on Wednesday," Akram-Al-Hossain, senior secretary of the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, told Dhaka Tribune.
Talking to Dhaka Tribune on August 11, State Minister Md Zakir Hossain said if the proposal gets approval from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, then the decision will be implemented quickly.
He also said Junior School Certificate (JSC), Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC), Primary Education Certificate (PEC), and Ebtedayee terminal examinations will not be taken this year if the proposal gets the premier's approval.
Moreover, if the proposal gets approved, then scholarship payments for these examinations will not be awarded this year.
In addition, the ministry has formulated a plan to conduct the examination in their respective schools this year based on a shorter syllabus.
The implementation of that plan also depends on the Covid-19 situation across the country, an official told Dhaka Tribune.
Moreover, the ministry has also been preparing a set of plans on how to run schools in compliance with the health safety measures.
Following the suggestions from the Directorate of Primary Education (DPE), National Academy of Primary Education (NAPE), and Bangladesh Examination Development Unit (BEDU), the Education Ministry is now drafting a recovery plan, such as automatically promoting students to the next class without holding exams, or extending the duration of the academic session to complete syllabus, among others.
However, the Ministry of Education is yet to take a final decision regarding the matter.
The ministry is also planning to hold Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) examinations within two to three weeks of opening educational institutes.
Talking to Dhaka Tribune, Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education College Inspector Prof Harun-ur-Rashid said the decision on holding the HSC examinations will depend on when educational institutes will reopen.


Congratulations to Philadelphia! And if you'd go to Purple Clover and read my piece, that would be very nice. Thanks!
Wonderfully, poignantly written. Thanks, Jim. And, glad YOUR WIFE is well on the mend.
I've had occasion to think about my life, god forbid, without Jenn in it. And those aren't happy thoughts. Altho, given the realities of our respective health and ancestry, it's much more likely that she'll have to face living without me. Either way, we've got a good thing going, and we aren't eager for it to end, one way or another. . .
As a certain mustachio'd Californian might say "BACON!!"
Beautiful. Yes, in 500 years what will matter is only the thing we carry into eternity, the love.
The view as you enter the operating room is scary, I know, I spent some time in one 2 weeks ago. The view from the waiting room is even more scary for the rest of the family. I'm so glad she is OK, give the pillows an extra fluff from me, in Canada.


A new opportunity will present itself to you tomorrow. And the next day. And every day. Will you notice it? Maybe. It depends on a few variables. Opportunities are funny. A lot has to go right for us to see them as they are. Four of those factors are: proper fit, timing, ease of the work, and personal desire.
Think about the last time you were presented with an opportunity. You might have asked yourself, "Will this opportunity help me get to where I'm going? Is the amount of work going to make it not worth it? Is the timing right? Do I actually want this?" So there's some internal work to be done when an opportunity is put in front of us. Ultimately it comes down to your decision to accept or deny the opportunity before it becomes real.
Whether or not you say "yes" to an opportunity is a reflection of how you're choosing to live your life. Those who always say no are probably productive, but perceived poorly by others. At the same time, we've all met a chronic Say YES-er, and have probably been one at some point. If you always say yes, is it really an opportunity? No. Chances are it's probably just more work. When everything is a priority, nothing can be prioritized.
Your goal should be clear: to accept the opportunities that represent the kind of growth and personal achievement that are aligned to the vision you have for your life.
Let's pretend you read this article today and kind of forget about it. After all, it's not meeting you where you're at because no opportunity is directly in front of you. The timing isn't right. But it will become relevant again when an opportunity presents itself. When that day comes, you'll have the following three questions to come back to.
Use them as a guide to determine if the opportunity in front of you is actually what it says it is, or merely another way for you to delay putting in work towards what you really want in life.
1. What's unique about the opportunity?
If it's an opportunity you should truly capitalize in, there's a good chance that it's unique in a few ways. Plain Jane offers aren't what you're after. Make sure there is some element of all three of the following before you say yes.
First, it's a chance to do something people around you aren't already doing. Are you being offered a chance to lead a project or put together a team for something at work? If six other people around you are already capitalizing, politely pass. Let them shine and pick your spot later on.
Second, this is an opportunity that represents and reflects your unique skill set. Make sure that any task or project you take on, in some way, reflects your unique skill set. Ensure that the work you'll put in will give you a chance to either hone or showcase those skills to people.
Your supervisor may market the 'opportunity' as something beneficial for you. Some bosses are really good at doing that. In truth, he or she may be delegating. You're another cog in the machine that can they trust, so you're being asked to do it.Whenever possible, turn down these offers. Don't sign up for junk work unless you are just starting out. In that case, any opportunity is usually a good opportunity. Otherwise, be more selective and highlight what you can do.
Third, this unique opportunity can be properly fit into your current season of life. An 'opportunity' to someone just starting their career appears as hell on earth to a seasoned employee. Be honest about where you are at personally and professionally, and see if the opportunity fits into your personal schedule and stage of life. If it doesn't, nix it.
2. What will the opportunity give you that you can't currently have?
What are you hoping to gain from the opportunity in front of you that can't be obtained now?
This is probably the most important (and oft-ignored) question I've started asking when I help people sift through opportunities. So many of us say "yes" to everything, in the hopes that it will give us that thing we desire so much — money, celebrity status, self-love, better relationships, etc.
The truth is, you aren't going to get any of that from the work you put in. This opportunity might represent a 5% advancement in the direction of that material thing you're chasing, but it won't happen right away. If you're after something like self-love, fulfillment or happiness, you're kidding yourself. That can only come from within.
You're better off auditing your life exactly as it is now. See what you can do with the resources you have to spark change or growth first. Once you uncover a few of those rocks, you'll have a lot more clarity around what opportunities might be right for you. At that point, you'll be better served to accept an offer that comes your way.
3. Does it contribute to where you want to be 2 years from now?
Simple maybe, but powerful in terms of understanding what you should say "yes" to.
Begin with the end in mind. Make sure you know where you'd like to be 6, 12, or 24 months from now. Run the opportunity in front of you through that machine and see how it comes out. Does it live in alignment with that outcome or with that version of yourself?
If the answer isn't "heck yes it does!", then the answer you should be giving is a polite "no thanks." Be wary of anything that will take your time and energy away from the mountain you are most passionate about climbing.
Opportunities are all around us. If you're around other people, I can all but guarantee one will present itself to you in the next 24 hours. The key is knowing how to differentiate between a true opportunity and simply adding more work to your life.
It takes a level of clarity and a combination of a few variables to correctly choose what will move us in the right direction. Be honest about what you'd like to have happen, audit the situation, and above all, don't feel bad about saying "no". You've had other people say it to you and you got over it. The same will happen.
They will find someone else, and you will be one step further to your goals. Sometimes the greatest opportunity of all lies in turning down the work you shouldn't be taking on, so you can continue doing what you're already doing.

Several Hoosier entrepreneurs are included on Forbes' "30 Under 30 2020" list. The list is made up of 20 categories, each of which has 30 honorees, described by the publication as "innovators and trendsetters who are changing the world."
Forbes says each of the honorees went through a vetting process that leveraged the publication's community of skilled reporters and judges.
Evan Rocheford, co-founder and chief executive officer of West Lafayette-based NutraMaize LLC, is included in the Food & Drink category. NutraMaize produces and markets "Orange Corn" developed by Rocheford's father, Purdue University Professor Torbert Rocheford. The non-GMO corn contains higher levels of carotenoids and was originally developed to help areas in sub-Saharan Africa address vitamin A deficiencies.
In September, NutraMaize received more than $1 million in grants to further develop the corn.
The founders of Indianapolis-based tech company Socio were also included in the Forbes list under the Enterprise Technology category. They include Yarkin Sakucoglu, Joseph Watkins and Alihan Ozbayrak. The company has created a live event management software platform that counts Google, Microsoft, Pepsi, and Comcast among its customers.
In July, Socio closed on a $6 million Series A round of funding that it said would be used to grow its staff and accelerate product development. The company currently boasts more than 60 employees at its offices in Indy and Istanbul.
Socio was also named the top overall winner of Powderkeg's inaugural Indiana Breakout Tech Culture Awards.

So I recently migrated my web site to Drupal after running it in WordPress for several years. Not surprisingly for a redesign where all the URLs changed and much content was added, my traffic numbers cratered, but after some tinkering they've gone back up again. After this little experiment with SEO, here are some things I'd recommend to draw traffic to your Drupal site.
If you do nothing else, enable Clean URLs (admin/config/search/clean-urls). This gives you URLs like http://www.mysite.com/mypage instead of http://www.mysite.com/?q=87. Not only is this more intuitive for visitors, it helps search engine rankings because your actual subject matter is reflected in your links.
Install and enable Pathauto, which allows you to set human-readable naming conventions for nodes. In addition to being more usable, this can help improve search engine rankings.
Use the XML Sitemap module to generate a sitemap of your content, then submit your sitemap to the Google Webmaster and Bing Webmaster tools. XML Sitemap can also regenerate and resubmit itself automatically when Drupal cron is run.
Add the Metatag module, which allows to you set meaningful descriptions and page titles to appear in search rankings. Metatag has other useful features, like providing multilingual titles and descriptions (with the i18n module), the ability to set per-page archiving rules, and the ability to override a node's default meta tags (like the home page description, for example). You can use an analyzer like the the Yoast module below to assess the effectiveness of your meta tags.
Use the Redirect module to point old URLs to the new ones, and ensure that each redirect is returning a 301 (permanently moved) HTTP code to point web crawlers and analyzers to the new URL. Redirect also provides a convenient list of your top 404 errors and allows you to create redirects for them with one click.
Try the Yoast SEO module. Yoast SEO is a popular plugin for WordPress that has now found its way to Drupal. Yoast SEO isn't perfect yet -- as of this writing it's in beta -- but it provides some tips for optimizing your content. Try to get at least an "OK" rating on all pages that you want to rank in the search engines.
Enable the Statistics module in core Drupal and allow it to track your 404 errors, referrers, and content pages. (Statistics does require some room in your database, so you probably want to clear your Drupal access log with a cron job periodically.) Since Statistics does its counting on the server side, it can provide some additional insights and its numbers will be somewhat different than client-side services like Analytics.
Make sure your site speed and download size are optimized by using a tool like Google PageSpeed. Install the Boost module, enable Drupal's blocks caching, and compress JS and CSS files for faster loading. If your host permits it, ensure your web server is performing adequate compression and cache control as well.
If you control your web server, deploy all your Drupal sites on a high-performance technology stack.
If you control your web server, ensure you're only running secure encryption protocols.
Ensure your robots.txt file permits thorough crawling and archiving of your site (the default included with Drupal is pretty solid). Webmaster suites like those of Bing and Google provide some tools for downloading and testing robots.txt.
Don't kill yourself trying to rig search engine rankings, because you're not going to beat media companies that have eight-figure advertising and SEO budgets. Focus on updating regularly and providing some interesting content, and watch your access logs for a while to determine what's popular. There's no substitute for providing content that people want to see.

Michael Jackson's Son Speaks, Reveals He is Inspired by Late Father
in Entertainment, World Buzz
How Africa November 18, 2019, 9:40 am
Michael Jackson's son Prince has revealed that he is inspired by his late father when it comes to making fashion choices.
The 22-year-old shared that he follows in Jackson's footsteps by working with stylist Rushka Bergman and how teaming up with the creative consultant is 'almost nostalgic' for him.
Prince discussed working with Bergman, just like his dad did, in a behind-the-scenes video with Vogue that was filmed ahead of him and his sister Paris, 21, attending the 60th birthday celebrations of Motown records.
In the clip, Price told: "I remember Rushka was my dad's stylist. She would always come in with these large racks… my dad loved shiny things, blingy, you know?
"So when I came in yesterday to look at the jacket, it was almost nostalgic."
He continued: "It was very cool that to see that I am like, not really being put in the same shoes, but almost doing a very similar thing."
Also in the footage, as his sister sat having her hair and make-up done by professionals Prince lifted up his trouser leg to show a inking of his father on his calf.

Ahead of hitting the red carpet for the event Prince posted a sweet snap of him and his sister.
He wrote: "I don't always dress up…but when I do it's with my gorgeous sister @parisjackson. Stay classy my friends."
Model Paris soon responded to the Loyola Marymount University graduate and she was equally as sentimental with her reply.
Paris wrote: "i love this so much!! you are so handsome and did such an amazing job on stage, i get more proud of you each day. i love that we get to do these things together and so excited for what's to come!! love you."
Prince and Paris' father Michael died in June 2009.

In the later part of his career, Michael Jackson faced several allegations of molesting young boys, and was first investigated in 1993 over abuse claims made by Jordan Chandler, a 13-year-old from New York.
The star went on trial in 2005 after being charged with molesting Gavin Arvizo, a cancer patient who was aged 13 at the time of the alleged abuse.
He was found not guilty on all charges.
At the start of this year controversial documentary Leaving Neverland aired on Channel 4.
The much-discussed documentary featured interviews from two former child companions of Jackson – Wade Robson and James Safechuck – who both claimed the singer had sexually abused them.
The Jackson family have furiously denied the claims made in the film.

"If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big." - Donald Trump.
My sentiments exactly Don. My sentiments exactly.
None of this half arsed bullshit. Aim for the moon people!
I don't know if you've noticed or not but I'm one of these people who stare at the moon a lot. I look at it and hold out my arm to touch it. It doesn't look that far away. Surely I can get there?
I think it will take a bit more than a rocket made from a cardboard box. There needs to be a strong jet propelled vessel with guided energy, but it is possible. We know that .... we've seen it happen before. It also doesn't happen over night. It takes a long time to get to the moon, or does it?
Well let's see. The moon is 380,000 km away. So it's a bit further than Sydney, or Brisbane, or Hawaii, or New York. The distance between me (in Canberra, Australia) and New York City right now is 16, 233. Interestingly enough London is only a couple of hundred kilometres further than NYC coming in at 16,978 - that's flying in the opposite direction to the NYC flight. How do I know? I use this trusty calculator thingimo at www.timeanddate.com. Anyway, the point of that is that the moon is a lot further away.
There are different ways to get to the moon. There is the slow way, the medium way, a fairly quick way and a bloody speedy way that leaves the moon in its dust. For example, according to UniversityToday.com the slowest mission to fly to the Moon was actually one of the most advanced technologies to be sent into space. The ESA SMART-1 lunar probe was launched on September 27th 2003 and used a revolutionary ion engine to propel it to the Moon. It was very fuel efficient but took a year and a month to get there. The SMART mission is an oddity as it is by far the longest mission to the Moon, the rest of the missions took a matter of days to reach lunar orbit.
China's Chang'e-1 mission took five days to cover the distance, using its rocket boosters. Ah yes, those rocket boosters work wonders. Interestingly enough, manned missions do it so much faster. The ones where someone is actually there driving the thing. The Apollo 11 astronauts reached lunar orbit after only three days in space on July 19th 1969.
By far the fastest mission to fly past the Moon was NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. This mission had rockets powering the probe to over 58,000 km/hr to give it a good start . Although this seems impressive, it's important to note that New Horizons was not slowing down to enter lunar orbit (like the Moon-specific missions above), it was still accelerating as the Moon was a mere dot in its rear view window. There was no time to smell the roses, take in the view or marvel at the goal it was trying to achieve in the first place. Still, it took eight hours and thirty-five minutes to cover the 380,000 km distance.
So the point of this post is to say that I wanna go to the moon. I've been aiming for it long enough and now I want to see it. You're probably thinking that since my first book has been published that I must have made it? Well no actually. My first book is a star, for sure (proving that if you aim for the moon at the very least you will end up among the stars), but my moon has my series of books all over the world, including in schools and communities where more disadvantaged kids may be struggling with their own sense of self worth. My moon has my books helping children with special needs, children with little or no money, clothes or food, children with learning challenges, children who may lack love. Kids who just need someone to say to them "you are powerful, you are worth it". That's my moon. One book is great! It's awesome, it's worth celebrating and I am grateful. But it's not my moon.
At the moment I feel like I have been flying in that fuel efficient energy saver version. But I'm ready to take the manned mission approach. I'm ready to get on board Apollo, take the controls, drive the thing and head directly towards that big ol pie in the sky and savour the view as I arrive. I may need some guidance though. And a few rockets.
What is your moon?
Does anyone know a good astronaut?
Calling Richard Branson! Richard Branson, Richard Branson, Richard Branson. Are you out there? Oh Richard, Richard, where for art thou Richard? I'd like to go to the moon ....
