Zuiderzeespoorweg is de naam van een ontworpen maar niet gerealiseerde rechtstreekse spoorverbinding van 57 kilometer lengte van Anna Paulowna naar Harlingen over de Amsteldiepdijk en Afsluitdijk.

De spoorlijn, niet te verwarren met de evenmin gerealiseerde Zuiderzeelijn in een latere periode, was bedoeld om de reistijd tussen Noord-Holland en Friesland te verkorten omdat de bestaande spoorlijn een grote omweg van 207 km maakt (Amsterdam - Amersfoort - Zwolle - Leeuwarden). De alternatieve route via de spoorlijn Zaandam - Enkhuizen en de spoorlijn Leeuwarden - Stavoren was met 141 km aanzienlijk korter, maar verloor veel tijd doordat de Zuiderzee moest worden overgestoken via de veerdienst Enkhuizen - Stavoren. De route Amsterdam - Leeuwarden via de Zuiderzeespoorweg zou een totale lengte krijgen van 151 km.

Gedacht tracé
De eerste plannen voor een afsluitdijk met spoorlijn tussen het Noord-Hollandse eiland Wieringen en het Friese stadje Hindeloopen werden al in 1866 en 1872 door het Noord-Hollandse Statenlid Pieter Opperdoes Alewijn (later Tweede Kamerlid) ingediend. Nadat er nog vijftien andere - al dan niet uitgewerkte - voorstellen voor een afsluitdijk met of zonder spoorlijn waren geopperd, kwam een door Cornelis Lely voorgezeten staatscommissie in 1891 met een plan dat de grondslag werd voor de aanleg van de Afsluitdijk. Ook daarin was een spoorlijn opgenomen.

In juni 1919 kreeg de spoorwegingenieur J.W.Th. van Oyen de opdracht een ontwerp te maken voor de nieuwe Zuiderzeespoorweg op basis van het plan-Lely. De lijn zou na station Anna Paulowna aftakken van de spoorlijn van Alkmaar naar Den Helder en lopen langs de latere Provinciale weg 249, de Amsteldiepdijk en over Wieringen naar Den Oever. Vervolgens over de Afsluitdijk naar Piaam op het Friese vasteland en dan bij Hieslum aansluiten op de spoorlijn van Stavoren naar Leeuwarden.

In 1925 werd echter besloten de Afsluitdijk niet bij Piaam maar bij Zurich aan te laten sluiten op het Friese vasteland omdat de zeebodem daar steviger was. Hierbij zou de spoorlijn na Zurich langs de latere Rijksweg 31 naar station Harlingen lopen en daar aansluiten op de spoorlijn naar Leeuwarden en Groningen. De reis tussen Amsterdam en Leeuwarden zou volgens een in 1929 gemaakte berekening 2½ uur duren, 70 minuten korter dan via Amersfoort en Zwolle. De gemeenten Bolsward en Sneek waren het niet eens met het gekozen tracé en pleitten vanwege hun economische belangen tevergeefs voor een alternatief tracé langs deze plaatsen.

In 1931 werd een ontwerp van de dubbelsporige spoorlijn aan de minister van Waterstaat Paul Reymer aangeboden. Na toestemming tot aanleg zou exploitatie van de spoorlijn gaan naar de HSM, die toen al samen met de Staatsspoorwegen deel uitmaakte van de belangenmaatschap Nederlandse Spoorwegen. Volgens het plan moest van de bestaande spoorweg in Noord-Holland het spoor worden verdubbeld tussen Heerhugowaard en Anna Paulowna. Er zouden stations komen in Van Ewijcksluis, Hippolytushoef en Den Oever. Aan de Friese kant waren geen nieuwe stations gepland, ook is niet duidelijk of het traject Harlingen-Leeuwarden zou worden verdubbeld.

Uitstel en afstel
Er kwam van de minister echter vooralsnog geen toestemming voor de aanleg, omdat door de economische crisis van de jaren 30 het geld ontbrak en de schuldenlast van de spoorwegen tot 20 miljoen gulden was opgelopen. Daarnaast kregen de spoorwegen steeds meer concurrentie van het opkomende wegverkeer, waardoor de inkomsten nog verder terug liepen. In 1939 werden de kosten geschat op 14 miljoen gulden. In 1940 is nog even gedacht de spoorlijn alsnog aan te leggen als werkverschaffingsproject. In 1950, na bijna twintig jaar uitstel, schreef F.Q. den Hollander, president-directeur van de NS, aan het ministerie van Waterstaat dat van aanleg van de Zuiderzeespoorweg definitief zou moeten worden afgezien. Een rendabele exploitatie van de spoorlijn zou gezien de hoge aanlegkosten onmogelijk zijn gebleken. In 1956 werd dit standpunt officieel door minister Jacob Algera bekrachtigd.

Uitvoering
Over de uitvoering van de spoorlijn is verder weinig bekend, afgezien van de dubbelsporigheid. Elektrificatie werd in het midden gelaten. Ook is niet duidelijk hoe op de Amsteldiepdijk en Afsluitdijk de infrastructuur tegen harde wind en storm beschermd zou worden. Ook over de gedachte dienstregeling, stop en sneltreinen en materieelinzet is weinig bekend. Wel waren in 1929 berekeningen gemaakt voor de tarieven en de reisduur.

Op Wieringen is de sleuf waarin de spoorlijn zou komen te liggen vanaf de Amsteldiepdijk nog te herkennen. Een deel van het oorspronkelijke spoortracé vult het tracé van de huidige autoweg, die Wieringen in tweeën deelt. De noordelijke strook op de Afsluitdijk  was voor een spoorlijn gereserveerd met ruimte voor dubbelspoor, maar bleef tot begin jaren zeventig onbenut. Wel werden diverse voorzieningen getroffen voor een spoorlijn. Zo werden de schutsluizen bij Den Oever en Kornwerderzand voorzien van landhoofden voor een spoorwegbrug. Begin jaren zeventig werden het onbenutte tracé en de landhoofden toegevoegd aan de autoweg met nieuwe bruggen, waardoor het wegverkeer meer ruimte kreeg.

Alternatief
Na het gereedkomen van de Afsluitdijk werd op 23 mei 1933 door de NS-dochteronderneming ATO een rechtstreekse busdienst ingesteld tussen Alkmaar en Leeuwarden, die nog steeds bestaat in de vorm van Qliner 350, geëxploiteerd door Arriva Personenvervoer Nederland.

Wilson Gets State Prison for Raping 11-year-old Girl
Posted on Thursday, December 17, 2015 by Julie Rae Rickard in Crime, Local News, Top Stories
Kyle Andrew Wilson (Provided photo)
CLEARFIELD – A Clearfield man accused of raping an 11-year-old girl was sentenced to state prison Wednesday in Clearfield County Court.
Kyle Andrew Wilson, 22, an inmate of state prison, pleaded guilty before President Judge Fredric J. Ammerman to rape of a child, aggravated indecent assault, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault person less than 13 years of age and indecent assault person less than 13 years of age.
Ammerman sentenced him to a total of seven to 14 years in state prison. This sentence will run consecutive to a sentence he received in November of 2014 of 18 months to six years for statutory sexual assault, a probation revocation sentence of six months to two years and a sentence for false alarm to agency of public safety of 90 days to three years.
He will serve a total term of nine years and three months to 25 years in state prison.
Wilson was determined by an expert to be a sexually violent predator, and he will have to register his address with law enforcement for the rest of his life. When he pleaded guilty in his other sexual assault case, he was also found to be a sexual predator. In that case, he was accused of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Prior to sentencing District Attorney William A. Shaw Jr. explained that the assault in the latest case occurred when Wilson was 17 years old and the victim was only 11 years old in March of 2011.
Shaw asked the judge to consider the danger component in this case because he is concerned about what Wilson will do when gets out and is around another young female.
Wilson's attorney, Curtis Irwin, asked the judge to give Wilson a concurrent sentence because "he will continue to be incarcerated for a significant period of time."
This case took place prior to his other cases, and Irwin stated that if the charges had been filed earlier, he would have tried to consolidate the charges into one plea agreement.
Wilson's mother addressed the court, saying "Kyle is not as bad as you think he is." She stated that there is nothing to prove this incident happened and questioned why it wasn't brought up earlier. She was clearly upset and said she did not have the money to hire a lawyer who could have taken the case to trial.
Ammerman assured her that Irwin, who is with the Public Defender's office, is a good attorney, adding that handling criminal cases is all he does. He reminded her that this is what Wilson agreed to do.
The victim's mother who said earlier that she did not wish to speak then addressed the court, explaining her daughter was traumatized by the event.
"It took a long time for her to talk about it," she said, adding that she was proud of her for speaking up. She said her daughter still has nightmares.
The victim's mother stated that she has forgiven Wilson and prays for him. She commented that she hopes he can do something with his life.
Ammerman stated that he didn't know if he would feel the same way if he were in her situation.
According to the affidavit in the latest case, the victim said she was walking from the Clearfield Area Middle School with a friend and an older boy named Kyle. The friend left and the victim asked Wilson to stay with her until her father came to pick her up. Wilson asked her if she wanted to smoke marijuana and she said yes. They continued walking to a wooded area near Penelec along Arnold Avenue where no houses were visible.
He allegedly tripped the victim, causing her to fall to the ground. He put his hand over her mouth and told her no one would be able to hear her. She hit him on the shoulder and told him to stop as he raped her.
Afterwards she waited until he walked far enough away before getting up. She cried and then called her father who picked her up at a business along Park Avenue. Her father asked what was wrong, but she told him she was fine.
The victim didn't tell anyone until she spoke with a therapist.
Officers took her to the area of the incident to determine whether the assault occurred in Clearfield Borough or Lawrence Township. She became upset but was able to pinpoint the location of the assault.
She was able to identify Wilson from a photo line up of suspects.
When questioned about this assault, Wilson claimed the sex was consensual. He also asked investigators "how long am I going to get for this one?"
According to the criminal complaint in the other sexual assault case, the 14-year-old victim told police that she received a text from Wilson, who was asking her to hang out with him. She got permission to leave her residence to meet with Wilson. She and Wilson walked to his grandfather's residence where he asked her to go into a camper trailer on the property. It was there that he raped her.
She later admitted to police they had been talking about having sex. That evening when they were in the camper, he asked if she wanted to have sex. She said no. He said if she didn't, he would hurt her or tell his girlfriend she had sex with him. She stated she got scared and agreed so he wouldn't hurt her.
She told her mother what happened when she got home and the mother called police.

Q: How can i seperate these in a list? so i have a text file named "1011.txt" with these things written into it:
1011 7:30
1011 14:25
1011 8:00
1011 18:20
1011 7:45
1011 17:21
i want to bring it into my python file, so i use read and splitlines to make it into a list.(i cant do anything else, i HAVE to make it into a list)
so i now have to split the "code" which is "1011" and the work hours which are the numbers after 1011.i have to seperate them with loops(i have to also separate the hour and the minute.)
does anybody know how i can do this?
i want to turn them into separate items in a list
so far this my code:
r1 = open("1011.txt")

l1 = r1.read().splitlines()
print(l1)
for hours in range(len(l1)):
    print ((l1[hours]))
r1.close()

A: str.split can be used here:
for line in l1:
    code, time = line.split()
    hour, minute = time.split(':')
    print(code, hour, minute)

One of the biggest predictors of a medical student's academic performance is their ability to assimilate and recall vast troves of factual knowledge when subsequently tested in examinations. Aided by techniques like raw rehearsal (reciting a fact over and over) and mnemonics, facts can be regurgitated short-term in a test situation, but long-term retention proves distinctively more challenging as time goes on – not a problem if you're struggling to recall pythagoras' theorem but a serious cause for concern if you're struggling to recall "SOAP BRAIN MD," whose every letter stands for one of the signs or symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus.
B. Price Kerfoot, an associate professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School, was frustrated at how much knowledge his students seemed to forget over the course of their medical education. He suspected this was because they engaged in what he calls "binge and purge" learning: they gorged themselves full of facts and then regurgitated them at test time. Research in cognitive science shows that this is a very poor way to retain information, as Kerfoot discovered when he went looking in the academic literature for answers. But he also stumbled upon a method that really is effective, called spaced repetition. Kerfoot devised a simple digital tool to make engaging in spaced repetition almost effortless. In more than two dozen studies published over the past five years, he has demonstrated that spaced repetition works, increasing knowledge retention by up to 50 percent.
More recently, Kerfoot studied the combination of spaced education with certain game mechanics (rules intended to make games engaging). He found game-like spaced education led to increased knowledge retention and test performance while being associated with improved course completion rates and motivation to participate in future spaced education programmes.
A simple way to do spaced repetition is to use flashcards organised into a box. Set up a schedule for when you will revise the cards in each of the sections in your box. If you answer a card correctly, you put it into a section that you will revisit less frequently in the future, whereas if you get the answer wrong, you move the card into a section scheduled for frequent visits. The spaced repetition method can be applied to any subject by using several online programs, such as Anki, fullrecall and supermemo, in which you can schedule your own flashcards. The software will present a question and the user attempts to recall the answer from memory, once answered, the software will schedule the questions for a later date; most of the software out there will schedule them in intervals based on how you answered the question (correct or incorrect) and on your rating of it (hard or easy).
In an era when medical evidence and knowledge are generated at unprecedented speed, health professionals may find it difficult to stay up-to-date, not just with the burgeoning amount of research, but also with the ever-changing technologies in healthcare. For the medical profession, where the onus is on continued and perpetual learning, it's important to be aware of any tools that can aid the process and accelerate learning for the time-pressed MD.
Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM) is a term first coined at the 2012 International Conference of Emergency Medicine in Dublin. FOAMed has been described as 'free open-access 2012 education1,2. It is a collection of evolving, collaborative and interactive updated resources that have become available to healthcare professionals and students through the Internet. It is a movement away from traditional modes of learning, embracing the diversity of platforms now available to us, encompassing Blogs, Twitter, Google hangouts, Podcasts, online videos, text documents, photographs and a whole lot more.
We can't read the millions or thousands or even hundreds of articles published daily. What we need is a filtered daily briefing. A filtered view that gives us context and we can ignore or explore issues deeper as we need. The nature of the filters may vary but can include colleagues, content shared by experts, news from industry sites and algorithms based on our needs and interests. Apps like Medit curate the web, filtering the vast repository of online content to deliver trustworthy content. A good curator knows how to find, aggregate, and synthesise reliable information, putting it into context for their communities and sharing it in a format that is easy to access and understand – saving time and effort.
Information is so abundant and so easily available that we can quickly be overwhelmed to the point of paralysis. Curators provide a solution by qualifying, selecting, organising, distilling, and interpreting information for various audiences; they do not merely aggregate content.

Is there any way or workaround to get tags assigned to a skitch note?
Hello dav555, as of now, you should be able to add tags to a Skitch note on the Evernote desktop clients (Mac and Windows).
Clarified that this is done in the Evernote desktop client, not Skitch.
1. Instead of creating the photo in Skitch, create the photo inside an Evernote note.
2. Tap on the image. This will bring it up in a gallery view.
3. Tap on the perfect stamp icon at the bottom of the screen.
4. Select "Edit image in Skitch". What this does is allow you to markup the image in Skitch and save it right back into the same Evernote note.
Now you have a Skitched image inside an Evernote note. I personally like this use case since you've got a "richer" note now. You can add tags, text, other images, voice recordings or anything else you might want to do to an Evernote note. Let me know if this fits your use case! We're exploring ways to create a tighter integration between Evernote and Skitch so we'd love to hear about your feedback on this.
Thanks for this. This method is perfect for me and gives me exactly what I want with the organisation of Evernote with markup ability of skitch.
I'm happy to hear that Mark! If you encounter any ways we could improve on the integration with Evernote, we'd love to hear it. We're always looking for ways to make Skitch and Evernote better.
Is it not possible to snap screenshots from a desktop or laptop with Skitch and tag them from there? Or do you have to go into Evernote and do this? That seems to defeat the purpose of Evernote/Skitch together. I take and label tons of screenshots to build presentations but it's really difficult to go back in and organize them after the fact.

Move to Chicago offered Maddon a taste of home
By Jay Rand | Standard-Speaker
It was Nov. 2, 2014 when the Chicago Cubs announced the hiring of Joe Maddon as their new skipper. It came just days after the former Tampa Bay Rays manager took advantage of an opt-out clause to leave Tampa (with one year remaining on his contract) as a result of Rays Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman departing to join the Dodgers.
And while the quick-developing seismic shift surprised so many throughout the baseball world, Joe's younger brother presents sort of a shrug-of-the-shoulders take on the move.
"It's Mom's side — the Polish side," said Mark Maddon, noting the extremely heavy population of Poles inhabiting Chicago. "I think they were supposed to end up in Chicago — Mom didn't get it done, so Joe picked up the slack."
Probably not any great consolation to Rays fans who lost their former American League Manager of the Year, but, well, OK. And of course, that's a hindsight view; count Mark among those blown away when he got a call from a friend on that fall day two years back sharing the news that Joe had resigned from the Rays.
"I said: 'Get outta here! He's leaving Tampa — are you crazy?'" recalled Mark. "So I texted [Joe], and he said, 'I'll get back to you later.' That's when he was meeting with Theo and Jed [Epstein and Hoyer, Cubs executives].
"I was shocked because that's another Maddon thing: Loyalty goes to the end of the earth for you. But Joe's attitude, he wanted to earn it. He wasn't going to politic for anything. Always earn your spot, so to speak."
Joe's Hazleton High School teammate Joe Gavio concurred: "He paid his dues, put his time in waiting for the opportunity; it was just getting his chance."
The one person who went on the record as "not shocked" by Joe's move from Tampa to the Cubs is former longtime Hazleton High baseball coach Ed Morgan. Joe's mentor on the diamond recalls his former pupil having interviewed with the Boston Red Sox for the skipper job that eventually went to now-Cleveland manager Terry Francona in 2003. The man leading the Red Sox managerial hunt? Current Cubs President Epstein.
Morgan spoke of an on-field conversation he was a part of years after the interview process that went Francona's way. It was a discussion between Joe and Epstein prior to the Rays taking on Boston in a regular season game. Morgan recalled such genuine respect and admiration between the two during that chat, for which he had a front-row seat.
"I had an inkling he might go to the Cubs because of the conversation he had with Theo," Morgan said. "It was Theo and his wife, and they made a point of coming to talk to Joe even though he didn't get the Boston job."
And so it was in November 2014 —off to Chicago, where Polish indeed is the third most frequently spoken language, trailing just English and Spanish. But whatever language in which he's communicating with his players in that always-festive Cubs clubhouse, Joe's words resonate.
"[Cubs players] are in such a good place with such a good person to get them there," offered Joe's younger sister Carmine. "'No worries, sit back and relax and watch the magic happen.'"
"The magic" has now happened twice for Joe's clubs, having led the Rays to the promised land in 2008 and the Cubs — for the first time in 71 years — to the Fall Classic this year. What a road it's been from his spirited upbringing in Hazleton to the much larger though also diverse Chicago.
"That's why he just absorbed into Chicago — because it is a lot like Hazleton," Carmine said of Joe's Windy City embrace. "A lot bigger, but those communities of different ethnic groups, it's just like home, just a bigger scale. And he loves to be in the middle of a city — he needs to be where it's vibrant and lively and [filled with] people he can engage in conversation."
All of which still applies on Joe's frequent trips home to Hazleton. His charitable efforts tied to his "Thanksmas" event and the Hazleton Integration Project (HIP) — a community-based effort to unite the people of various ethnicities and backgrounds — are well known. And on those trips home, just as when walking the streets downtown Chicago, Joe still makes it a point to engage.
Said Carmine: "He likes to drive through the neighborhoods and reminisce. He takes [wife] Jaye through the streets to show her who lived where, where school is, the playgrounds, the restaurants. He'll just drive around town and reminisce. He'll drive to Lafayette to meet up with [college friends] there.
"Whenever he enters a room, a party starts. When he comes home for Christmas, it's party time! He just loves to be around the people he grew up with. He's approachable and doesn't shy away from anybody. Everybody knows him as 'Joe' or 'Joey,' and he's never really changed. He left, but he's still 'Joey'— and his heart's still here."
And even after he left, Joe made sure his own kids logged time in his hometown. Though raised primarily in Arizona while he toiled in various locales during his minor leagues days with the Angels, Joe's son and daughter were imported to Hazleton for the summers.
"It was always important for Joe to have his kids experience Hazleton," recalled his sister. "He'd fly them out in the summertime [from Arizona] when they were younger and they got very close with their cousins, a feel what it was like to have aunts and uncles around and feel what it's like to grow up in Hazleton. They'd stay for the whole summer.
"My kids are the same ages as Joe's kids, so we would just take them everywhere," she added. "But they loved staying at my mom's because she's such a character. And my dad was one of the most fabulous people who ever walked this earth. So they knew my dad; he was not just a memory [after passing away in 2002]. And I wish my dad was here to see [Joe leading the Cubs to the World Series]. He's his angel in the outfield."
That angel helped the Cubs rally from a 3-1 deficit against the Cleveland Indians in the Series for their first world championship since 1908. With that elusive title safely tucked away, the Cubs are built to compete for years to come. And, according to those who know him best, the environment in which one of Hazleton's favorite sons now finds himself could not be a better fit.
"[Chicago] is a larger scale of what Hazleton is like," Carmine said. "He relishes it, he feeds off it, that motivates him and makes him better as a manager. He feels at home, he's comfortable and feels better and thinks better — and that's why he's managing so well. It's a love for the city, though his heart is still in Hazleton. Lots of traits there [in Chicago] that he has at home.
"And to see the tears [of Chicago fans] and know that Joe's steering the ship, it's ridiculous. We're fans of Joe, but for [Chicago people], I'm so happy for you; it's just fabulous."

Q: how to push array or objects into one array using underscore? I'm basically using $all operator in mongo and the input i get might be array or single element as following. So how do use underscore to put all the elements in one array and then
userId = 'a';
userIds = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
otherId = ['a'] or 'a';
searchArray = [userId, userIds, otherId]
db.collections.find({userIds: {$all: searchArray}})

A: You can use union as long as they are arrays.
_.union(arrays)

var userId = ['a'],
    userIds = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
    otherId = ['a'],

searchArray = _.union(userId, userIds, otherId);

A: If all variables aren't promised to be arrays, you probably want the flatten method.
userId = 'a'; // strings
userIds = ['a', 'b', ['c']]; // multidimensional array
otherId = ['a']; // single dimensional array
searchArray = _.flatten([userId, userIds, otherId]);
db.collections.find({userIds: {$all: searchArray}})

A: No need for underscore, you can use concat:
var userId = ['a'],
    userIds = ['a', 'b', 'c'],
    otherId = ['a'];

var arr = userId.concat(userIds, otherId)

This will work even if one of those is not an array but just a number or string. Working example here:

Lighting installations are becoming increasingly complex. This is largely due to the evolution in recent years of leds as the most common light source, which in turn has increased the range of luminaire types and styles available to architects and lighting designers. The technologies used in lighting controls are also evolving and now often form an intrinsic part of the lighting installation. This advancement of technology can create a complex commissioning requirement to ensure that projects are delivered as per the design intent. There are also lighting energy consumption compliances that require verifying as part of commissioning, rather just reliance on design modelling in the early stages of the design.
This updated edition of Commissioning Code L provides guidance on how to set up a commissioning plan for a project in order to manage the process of ensuring that the design intent is realised at project completion and that the users of the lighting installation are fully aware of the operation and benefits of the lighting installation, relative to their use of the building.
The Code advises on the stages required to commission lighting installations, which may include luminaires, emergency luminaires, lighting controls and interfaces with other services.
The Code represents standards of good practice, which are presented in the form of recommendations and guidance for the building services industry.
The Code covers the commissioning of interior and some forms of exterior lighting systems. It should be noted that the specific commissioning checks that may be associated with highways lighting, sports lighting and public space exterior lighting are not covered in this Code.

Tata Trusts launches India's largest breast cancer screening drive with Prashanti Cancer Care and Swasth India
Tata Trusts and Prashanti Cancer Care Mission in association with Swasth India collaborate to facilitate early detection of breast cancer and to impact reduction in resultant mortality
Initiative targeted at over 2.3 Lakh women in Pune
State-of-the-art mobile vans, equipped with mammography equipment and portable Mobile Colposcopy units to detect early breast and cervical cancer and other diagnostic facilities
Regular examinations and early detection is best way forward towards fighting the disease
Pune: Breast cancer is on the rise in India. Every year 1 in 200 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 1 Lakh new cases occur. Tata Trusts not only recognise the possible threat that this disease poses to the lives of millions of women, but also believe that it is curable if detected early.
Early detection remains the most important strategy to counter breast cancer. However, lack of awareness in women about symptoms, screening modalities, self-examination and/or routine mammography leads to costly delays in diagnosis and treatment.
While Tata Trusts support and drive innovation across several sectors, the health portfolio centred on cancer care enjoys a special focus. Tata Trusts along with Prashanti Cancer Care Mission and Swasth India Foundation, has collaborated to help combat this disease that threatens many of the women in our country with the launch of their initiative titled #LosingIsNotAnOption, India's largest breast cancer screening drive, because for a women, losing either her life or her breast is not an option.
The launch event held at the Police Grounds in Pune, witnessed the presence of the Hon'ble Guardian Minister Shri Girish Bapat; Padmavibhushan Dr RA Mashelkar; national research professor, Dr LS Shashidhara, vice-president, Indian National Science Academy; Mr RK Krishna Kumar, trustee, Tata Trusts; R Venkatramanan, executive trustee, Tata Trusts and Dr CB Koppiker, surgical oncologist and managing trustee, Prashanti Cancer Care Mission. The diagnostic van was unveiled by popular celebrity and breast cancer awareness advocate Kajol Devgan who is also the brand ambassador of the mission.
A compelling campaign with a media mix comprising outdoor, radio, cinema halls and social media involving real women who have fought and defeated breast cancer was also launched to drive home the benefits of early detection and regular screening. The key message of the campaign is that breast cancer is curable if diagnosed early and hence the only way to prevent loss of life or breast is to get regular screenings done.
Speaking at the occasion, RK Krishna Kumar, trustee, Tata Trusts said, "Cancer care has been a key priority of the Trusts as part of our overall health portfolio. With breast cancer on the rise in India, we believe that it is imperative to build awareness, and encourage women to take preventive action. Through this initiative, we aim to get women to learn to recognise the threat, and undergo routine screening processes to curb the concern. Our endeavor is to enable a 'cancer-free' and 'cancer-screened' environment in Pune City and its suburbs."
With this initiative, women across Pune district will have access to state-of-the-art technology led mobile vans which are fully equipped to run the screenings and other minor procedures. The collaboration will aim at effectively carrying out spot screening and early detection of breast cancer. This mobile unit also saves valuable time and ensures timely delivery of results, thereby saving lives by detecting cancer at an early stage.
Dr CB Koppiker, renowned breast onco-surgeon and managing trustee, Prashanti Cancer Care Mission said, "Through this partnership, healthcare solutions which have higher rate of penetration and positive outcomes will become accessible and affordable to women." This project is aimed at defining an early diagnostic intervention aimed at delivering breast and cervical care of affordable excellence to the doorsteps. Its primary objective is to bring down the mortality and morbidity of the disease by diagnosing early.
India has witnessed an increase in mortality rates of breast cancer patients primarily due to lack of awareness regarding preventive measures, unaffordability of cancer treatment, dearth of technology driven innovations and unhealthy lifestyle choices. However, it must be noted that breast cancer has the longest latency period of 8 to 10 years, as compared to other forms of cancers. If patients undertake regular screening and self-examination, they may be able to detect it at an early stage and avail treatment. Preventive action can save the lives of those afflicted with this disease.

Zambia Weighs Policy to Crack Down on Unregistered Preachers
Officials, determined to prevent exploitation by religious leaders, are considering a law that would require certified training to open a church. Pastors worry about the ramifications of increasing government interference.

GPJ ACCURATE
LUSAKA, ZAMBIA— It's dawn and voluminous singing, praying and yelling is already coming from Edward's house in Kalikiliki compound, an unplanned settlement in Zambia's capital, Lusaka.
Edward, who is commonly referred to as "the Prophet" by his followers, asked that only his first name be used to avoid confrontation with the law. His church isn't registered, even though it's been open for more than two years and has more than 200 members. Edward says he has never been to a theological school either.
But now, a proposed law could create more problems for Edward and the numerous other pastors and so-called prophets here who operate places of worship with no training or certifications.
"I have the discernment to heal people," Edward says. "Many have come to testify that their prayers are answered. Do I need to go to school to pray for people?"
The country's last census, completed in 2010, indicates that 75.3% of the population is Protestant.
A proliferation of Pentecostal churches have appeared here in recent years. They're known for their faith in miracles, such as healing and financial transformations. And that has spurred a rise in the number of untrained, unregistered preachers — like Edward.
The government is responding with a newly proposed law that would require people to have a certain amount of theological training before they can become preachers or open a church.
Churches and religious groups are already required to register with the Registrar of Societies. But what happens after a church is registered is not well prescribed, says Godfridah Sumaili, minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs. The new law would require preachers to have professional qualifications at the time of registration and any time after. It also would require more frequent renewals of registrations and licenses.
The new law wouldn't carry any penalties, like fines or imprisonment. It would just prevent churches that don't comply from continuing to operate.
Religious leaders must currently submit professional qualifications from recognized and reputable Bible schools and provide a recommendation letter from a religious body. A church also must submit its constitution or doctrine and the names and phone numbers of 10 of its leaders, with copies of national registration cards for locals and immigration permits for foreigners. The police and local council must clear them.
But residents worry the increasing number of unregulated preachers will lead to the sexual, emotional or financial exploitation of congregants, Sumaili says.
When Veronica Mwandula's father was sick, she visited a pastor in an unregistered church who asked her to pay him to anoint her father with oil. The pastor called the money she paid "seeds," she says, and convinced her it was right to pay. She also was given a choice to purchase anointing oils. The oils dubbed most "powerful" were the most expensive.
"Every time I went to the church for prayers, I was told to plant a seed if my prayers were to be answered," she says. "I believe Jesus healed people for free, but what I was subjected to last year is something else."
At the time, Mwandula says, she felt too desperate to notice the exploitation. But after her father died, she realized she had been conned.
Police are seeing an increase in the number of complaints coming in about clergy exploiting churchgoers.
"Cases of immoral behavior and abuse of churchgoers are common, but often these cases go unreported because the people affected do not realize that they are being abused," says Esther Mwata Katongo, a police spokesperson.
But religious leaders here say they oppose changing or adding to the current law.
Father Emmanuel Chikoya, the general secretary of the Council of Churches in Zambia, says the new law sounds duplicative. "There are enough laws in this country that guide us on criminal offenses, as well as the operations of the church. So why create new laws?" he asks.
Edward agrees. He admits that he asks his congregants for money and insists it's an important part of their religion.
"Yes, we encourage people to tithe because that is what the Bible says," Edward says. "But that should not mean I can't pray or preach to people that don't tithe."

North Carolina Ferry Division officials at the monthly meeting on Ocracoke Monday talked more about the potential for passenger ferry service to the island from Hatteras.
Jed Dixon, deputy ferry division director, who stressed that nothing has been decided, said that the feasibility study being done by Volkert, Inc., is expected to be done in November.
In the meantime, the division is continuing to explore this idea for relieving the traffic awaiting travel to Ocracoke.
To start out, the division is looking into having two 80-passenger boats, rather than a single 150-passenger boat.
"Two would be more convenient for us," added Harold Thomas, a deputy director based out of Morehead City, who also attended.
What's more, with the new Strategic Transportation Initiative under which all transportation needs are weighted and compete against other projects for funding, smaller — and less expensive — passenger ferries would compete better for the $30 million in transportation money in District 1, which includes Ocracoke.
The big piece of the project is the cost of new ferries, Thomas said — $16 million for a new sound-class ferry vs. $2.5 to $5 million for a passenger ferry.
At the outset, passenger ferries would run only in the high season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Thomas said.
A $7 million grant recently approved for this project from Eastern Federal Lands would include the building of one boat, Dixon said, as well as island infrastructure.
Dixon showed drawings of suggested changes at the Ocracoke harbor area and noted that the Cape Hatteras National Seashore is interested in joining with the ferry division to construct a larger building on the site of the current Ocracoke Island Visitor Center.
This federal grant also would include purchase of an open-air tram to shuttle visitors around the village. One tram that has been looked at has two 18-seat sections.
Paying drivers and other maintenance would then be the responsibility of Hyde County Transit, he said.
"The trolleys could be used by all for a good portion of the year," Dixon said. "Nothing has been written in stone," he said about any of these ideas.
While Armstrong Marine in Swansboro has approached the ferry division and the company is doing research on the construction of passenger ferries, Dixon said, all boat-building would go out for bids.
The ferry division also is looking at different parking scenarios in Hatteras, including long-term parking, and on Ocracoke.
Thomas also suggested that passenger ferries might also be used on the longer routes to Cedar Island and Swan Quarter, making those trips much shorter.
As for the continued shoaling of Hatteras Inlet, Dixon said the state can only do what it is authorized to do, which is an area from the Ocracoke side to near the middle of the inlet.
The Army Corps of Engineers, which historically has dredged from outside the Hatteras terminal to the "gorge," is seeking to dredge in an area of the inlet that's outside its scope.
"The Corps now has to dredge in an area they haven't dredged before," Dixon said, and they have to get environmental permits to do so, as well as public comment.
Ann Warner, one of the eight islanders who attended the meeting, suggested that a sign be installed at the south dock—which is at the north end of Ocracoke—noting that there is food and lodging 13 miles down the road.
Dixon said islanders need to talk to Division 1 of the Transportation Department for this.
While these meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of the month, the next meeting will be at 1 p.m. Oct. 19 in the Ocracoke Community Center, since Oct. 12, the second Monday, is Columbus Day and a holiday.

Q: How to make recursive calls within Behaviors.receive? This code is from akka documentation. It impelements an actor using the recommended functional style:
import akka.actor.typed.Behavior
import akka.actor.typed.scaladsl.ActorContext
import akka.actor.typed.scaladsl.Behaviors

object Counter {
  sealed trait Command
  case object Increment extends Command
  final case class GetValue(replyTo: ActorRef[Value]) extends Command
  final case class Value(n: Int)

  def apply(): Behavior[Command] =
    counter(0)

  private def counter(n: Int): Behavior[Command] =
    Behaviors.receive { (context, message) =>
      message match {
        case Increment =>
          val newValue = n + 1
          context.log.debug("Incremented counter to [{}]", newValue)
          counter(newValue)
        case GetValue(replyTo) =>
          replyTo ! Value(n)
          Behaviors.same
      }
    }
}

The actor contains a recursive call "counter(newValue)" to maintain mutable state by functional means. When I implement this and add the @tailrec annotation to the function, the scala compiler complains as the call is not tail recursive, even it seems to be in the last position. This means, sooner or later a stack overflow exception will occur (imagine you just want to count all incoming messages and there are some billions of them - no java stack would be big enough).
Is it possible to make the call tail recursive or do I have to fallback to the object oriented style with mutable variables to handle those cases?

A: The short answer is that it's not recursive, because what counter is doing, ultimately, boils down to:

*

*It creates an instance of a Function2[ActorContext[Command], Command, Behavior[Command]]

*It passes that instance to Behaviors.receive, which uses it to construct a Behaviors.Receive[Command] object (which extends Behavior[Command])

To elaborate:
While this isn't the exact transformation performed by any recent Scala compiler, this should give you the flavor of why it's not recursive
object Counter {
  // Protocol omitted
  class CounterFunction(n: Int) extends Function2[ActorContext[Command], Command, Behavior[Command]] {
    override def apply(context: ActorContext[Command], message: Command): Behavior[Command] =
      message match {
        case Increment =>
          // omitting logging, etc.
          counter(n + 1)
        case GetValue(replyTo) =>
          replyTo ! Value(n)
          Behaviors.same
      }
  }

  private def counter(n: Int): Behavior[Command] = {
    val f = new CounterFunction(n)
    Behaviors.receive(f)
  }
}

Note that since the call to counter is wrapped inside CounterFunction's apply method, they don't happen until that apply is called, which isn't until a message is actually being processed.
This will not overflow the stack, as can be seen with this minimal implementation of something that's not that different from the implementation deep within Akka's internals:
case class Behavior[T](
  processor: (ActorContext[T], T) => Behavior[T]
)

object Behavior {
  def processMsgs[T](b: Behavior[T], ctx: ActorContext[T])(msgs: List[T]): Behavior[T] =
    // No recursion here...
    msgs.foldLeft(b) { (behavior, m) => behavior.processor(ctx, m) }
}

The Behavior.processMsgs function is an example of what's known (especially in the functional programming language implementation community), as a trampoline:

a loop that iteratively invokes [functions which return unevaluated function objects].... Programmers can use trampolined functions to implement tail-recursive function calls in stack-oriented programming languages.

In this particular case, the "unevaluated function object" is the processor in this sample implementation of Behavior.

THE STORY OF: Famed Hairdresser Vidal Sassoon - 29Secrets
THE STORY OF: Famed Hairdresser Vidal Sassoon
by Christopher Turner
Part of an ongoing series of 29Secrets stories, taking a deep dive into the history of legendary beauty products and iconic fashion moments…
Illustration by Michael Hak
Renowned as one of the most famed hairdressers of all time, Vidal Sassoon is remembered for changing the craft of hairstyling forever. He dominated the 1960s, ending the beehive craze from the previous decade with his sharp, simple and short cuts for women that boosted new feelings of personal freedom. In a matter of a few years he became a celebrity stylist, and then a celebrity in his own right, first in the UK and then around the world. In the ensuing decades he became a household name by launching salons, cosmetology schools, and a successful line of hair products that sold internationally.
A genuine tale of rags to riches, Sassoon's life took him from a tough childhood spent in a London orphanage to international success. Read on for more on the man credited with changing the world with a pair of scissors.
Grinding poverty
Vidal Sassoon was born on January 17, 1928, in the Hammersmith neighbourhood of London, England, to Betty (Bellin) and Jack Sassoon. Betty, who worked in a sweatshop, was London-born to parents who had immigrated from Ukraine; Jack, who dealt in carpets, had been born in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The family lived in extreme poverty in the west London neighbourhood of Shepherd's Bush with other Jewish-Greek immigrants, until Jack abandoned the family for another woman when Sassoon was three years old and his brother Ivor was a newborn. The family was suddenly evicted from their home, and were forced to move in with Betty's older sister and her three children in a tiny flat in the Petticoat Lane neighbourhood. There the seven of them lived with no bathroom or inside toilet, forcing them to share the one toilet on the outside landing with three other families. "All we could see from our windows was the greyness of the tenement across the street," Sassoon wrote in his 2010 book, Vidal: The Autobiography. "There was ugliness all around."
In 1933, Betty placed her two boys in an orphanage run by the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue. The orphanage rules were strict; their mother was only allowed to visit the boys once a month, and was never allowed to take them out.
The boys lived at the orphanage for the next seven years, until Sassoon was 11 years old. At that point they were reunited with their mother, who had recently remarried and felt financially able to support them. However, money was still tight and by the time Sassoon was 14 he was forced to leave school. His mother tried to get him into a hairdressing apprenticeship – she claimed she had had a vision of her son's future, although Sassoon is also quoted as saying that "her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself."
When Betty took her son to the hairdressing school of a well-known stylist, Adolph Cohen, she was disappointed to discover that the two-year program would cost much more than they could afford. "My mother looked so terribly dejected," Sassoon recalled. "I thought she might faint." A few minutes later, Cohen called them back to the salon and told him, "You seem to have very good manners, young man. Start Monday and forget the cost." His mother began to cry out of joy.
For the next two years Sassoon spent his days working at the salon with Cohen, but led a very different life by night. Profoundly affected by emerging details about the Holocaust, he joined a Jewish organization shortly after the end of the Second World War and would spend his evenings fighting anti-Semitic fascists on the streets of East London.
In 1948, he volunteered to fight in Israel's Independence War with the Palmach (an elite commando force in the Jewish underground army), and left London to be stationed along the Gaza border – a period which he later described in one interview as "the best year of my life." He returned to England after a year, following the death of his stepfather, and continued training as a hairstylist. He began training under famed hairstylist Raymond Bessone – otherwise known as Mr. Teasy-Weasy – in his esteemed salon in Mayfair, and undertook three years of speech training and elocution lessons at the Old Vic, determined to get rid of his cockney accent.
Sassoon's first salon
Sassoon opened his first salon in 1954 at the age of 26. The Bond Street salon was so small that customers had to sit on the stairs while waiting, but that didn't matter: "Sassoon's," as it was soon known, quickly became one of London's most fashionable hair salons. His hairstyles and cuts were the complete antithesis of what other salons offered: when you went for a cut at Sassoon's, you could forget about leaving with shoulder-length, overly feminine manes or those bombshell beehives of the Fifties.… Instead, Sassoon brought out the scissors and introduced new geometric and symmetric shapes that had never been seen before. Sleek bobs became the new must-have 'do, along with striking angular cuts – both which required minimum styling and were low maintenance.
"I made up my mind then that if I was going to be in hairdressing long term, I wanted to change things," he recalled in the documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie. "I didn't have a picture of what hair should be, but I had a definite picture of what hair shouldn't be."
By 1958 business was booming, and Sassoon moved to a bigger shop. That year – influenced by the Bauhaus designs he had studied – he also created the "shape," which would become one of his signature cuts.
But that was just the beginning.… His major breakthrough came in 1963, after cutting film star Nancy Kwan's four feet of hair into the geometric 'bob' style. As he was cutting her hair, Sassoon was so sure that he was onto something great, he called up photographer Terence Donovan and took Kwan straight over to his studio. Donovan captured the iconic portrait of Kwan that would be featured in editions of Vogue magazine around the globe, and the hairstyle became an instant trend with liberated women delighted to finally be free of curlers and hairspray.
Sassoon continued to popularize his classic "bob" cut when he cut and styled the hair of mod fashion designer Mary Quant and her models. Quant was famous for creating the miniskirt, and was doing for clothes what Sassoon was achieving in hairstyles. And when Roman Polanski was shooting Rosemary's Baby in 1968, he paid Sassoon $5,000 (equivalent to $38,000 in 2021) to come to Hollywood to give Mia Farrow her famous pixie haircut in a Hollywood boxing ring while the press watched. "It's a Vidal Sassoon; it's terribly in," Rosemary says in the film when another character inquires about her hair. The publicity stunt brought him to the attention of American women.
Another of Sassoon's career highlights was his revolutionary 'Five-Point Cut' debuted by 1960s top model Grace Coddington, who would go on to become the fashion director of US Vogue. The original version of this quintessential cut was a snug, sleek helmet with a W cut at the nape of the neck and a pointed spike in front of each ear.
"He didn't create it for me; he created it on me," Coddington said in 2012. "It was an extraordinary cut; no one has bettered it since. And it liberated everyone. You could just sort of drip-dry it and shake it."
"He changed the way everyone looked at hair," she recalled. "Before Sassoon, it was all back-combing and lacquer; the whole thing was to make it high and artificial. Suddenly you could put your fingers through your hair!"
In 1965 Sassoon opened his first New York City salon, on Madison Avenue, and within five years he had opened salons in Toronto and Beverly Hills, as well as his first hairdressing school, in London. By the early 1970s, Sassoon had moved permanently to Los Angeles and had achieved rock star status in both the UK and North America. He became a business pioneer and by the mid-1970s had 14 different salons and three schools in the US, Canada, Britain and Germany. But Sassoon had bigger aspirations, and slowly began passing the management of his various hair salons over to an assistant.
Putting down the scissors
In 1973, Sassoon was set to launch a line of hair-care products. The shampoos, conditioners and other products were famously sold in television commercials featuring a woman with a lustrous head of hair and the debonair Sassoon at her side, declaring the slogan, "If you don't look good, we don't look good."
By 1975 he had more or less stopped cutting hair, although he regularly appeared in the TV commercials for his successful hair-care range. Sales reached more than $100 million annually before he sold the company in 1983 (he remained involved as a consultant for a number of years but by 2004, it was reported that Sassoon was no longer associated with the brand that bears his name).
After the sale of his business interests in 1983, Sassoon devoted himself to philanthropy, spending the next few years focused on a variety of projects, most notably founding a centre for the study of anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
There was A Year of Beauty & Health, the health-focused book he co-wrote with his second wife, Canadian actress Beverly Adams. He even – briefly – had his own American television talk show, Your New Day (1980), with a characteristically upbeat emphasis on self-improvement.
Besides his philanthropy, in the last two decades of his life, Sassoon focused on his marriage to Rhonda "Ronnie" Sassoon, the woman he married in 1992. It was his fourth marriage. (His first marriage, in 1956 to Elaine Wood, his salon receptionist, ended in divorce in 1963. Four years later he married Adams, and they had two sons and two daughters – the eldest, Catya, tragically died in 2002 from a drug-induced heart attack. Sassoon and Adams divorced after 13 years of marriage and Sassoon married his third wife, fashion model Jeanette Hartford-Davis in 1983, although they divorced soon after.)
In June 2011, it was reported that Sassoon had been diagnosed with leukemia two years earlier. He died the next year, on May 9, 2012, in the presence of family members at his home in Bel Air, Los Angeles. He was 84. His death was originally reported to be a result of natural causes, but later reported to have been a result of his leukemia.
Years after his death, Vidal Sassoon's name lives on through his worldwide salons and training academies. After an incredible life, the legendary hairdresser earned his place in history.

Q: javascript
A: alert('hi') would never fire, as the script tag supports either inline code or external file code..
Read the specs at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1

The script may be defined within the contents of the SCRIPT element or in an external file. If the src attribute is not set, user agents must interpret the contents of the element as the script. If the src has a URI value, user agents must ignore the element's contents and retrieve the script via the URI.

A: No. The presence of a src attribute will cause the descendant nodes of the element to be ignored.
If you had two script elements, then the second script would still always execute second because script elements are blocking.
Only if you had two script elements and the first had defer or async attributes could the second execute before the first.

A: If you had the below code and didn't want your alert('hi') to fire until all scripts have downloaded, you can wait for the document ready event.  You can do this using jQuery, or with vanilla JavaScript.
<script src="takes very long to download" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   alert('hi');
</script>

To defer until all scripts have loaded using jQuery:
$( document ).ready( function () {
    alert('hi');
});

A: that is because you cant import a script like that and in the same script element run javascript... because the external script will override your written javascript.... put them in different tags... also for a faster js import make a mock js src

BVB Dortmund have announced that Sven Bender has agreed to a contract extension, tying the midfielder to the club until June 2021.
The 26-year-old has been at the club since 2009, and his previous deal was set to expire at the end of next season.
However, he has now followed goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in signing a new deal, and was delighted to have penned the extension.
"I want to thank Hans-Joachim Watzke, Michael Zorc and Thomas Tuchel for the trust they have placed in me," Bender told the club's official website.
"We have brought some very good discussions to a conclusion. I am extremely happy to be wearing the black and yellow jersey into the future.
"I would be glad if some of my other teammates would therefore follow in the coming weeks."

Inverloch 3996 caught up with Tad Hendry & Jess Cuman from Adapt Design Group this week, to check out their stunning new 8.7 star build at The Cape in Cape Paterson and to find out how they set about designing a family home that for the same cost as a traditional build, could eliminate energy costs for the owner and potentially provide an annual rebate from their electricity provider. Now who doesn't like the sound of that!
Dune 1 is nestled along Victoria's Bass Coast with wonderful views to both the ocean and surrounding farm land at the award winnning 'The Cape' sustainable housing project in Cape Paterson. Driven by a passion for energy efficient design, Dune 1 is a collaboration between local building designers Tad Hendry and Jess Cuman from Adapt Design Group, and is a great reflection of their design work together to date.
To create an extremely energy efficient dwelling whilst keeping construction costs low, in line with a traditional build of the same size. The home showcases all the fundamentals of best practice energy efficient design and construction - including good orientation, quality insulation, crossflow ventilation, double glazing, thermal mass & shading. These are things more and more of our clients are asking for now as they become more mainstream and people realise that sustainable design practices can now reduce their ongoing energy costs to zero and in an lot of case actually provide them an annual rebate.
TELL US MORE ABOUT HOW THIS HOME CAN ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY FOR IT'S OWNERS?
Well we've managed to get Dune 1 an 8.7 star energy rating featuring an 8kw photovaltic system including battery storage. The combination of sustainability, energy efficiency and onsite clean energy generation elements ensure this home is 'energy positive' - generating a surplus of clean energy on an annual basis, with the potential for a net return of over $500 per annum for surplus power generated.
THAT'S AWESOME - ARE THERE ANY OTHER ENERGY SAVING FEATURES BUILT INTO THIS HOME?
.Absolutely, the capacity for occupants to close down half the home while other members of the family are away, further reduces the costs of living. Housing the fridge and the Sanden het pump together allows heat generated from these appliances to dry clothes on inclement days.
There are air locks to control temperature, clever roof design for rainwater harvesting and easy access to solar panels all help to create a home which virtually 'pays it's owners to live in it'.
WHAT WAS THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK FOR THE DESIGN AT THE RECENT OPEN DAY AT THE CAPE?
The Response was phenomenal with upwards of 600 people attending the day - we certainly had our hands full! It was a great opportunity to showcase what we are passionate about at Adapt Design Group and share those insights with so many like minded people, looking to build their dream home, minus the usual ongoing running costs!
ANY OTHER EXCITING PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE?
Yes, we've got some really great plans on our table currently for blocks in Inverloch, Phillip Island & Cape Paterson at the moment and 2018 is shaping up to be a great year for our company with more and more of our concept designs reaching maturity and full build. A particular stand out was a Smiths Beach House design over on Phillip Island that really does have views to die for, we think we designed something that does those views justice.
HOW CAN PEOPLE WORK WITH ADAPT DESIGN GROUP?
Well we're a pretty approachable bunch, so pop into our studio in Cape Paterson for a coffee, or alternatively check out our website and projects gallery at www.adaptdesigngroup.com.au or download our brochure below.


After touring D.A.P. and learning that chiropractic was not available, Dr. Jim Cox agreed to begin offering his services; currently, chiropractic is offered through the clinic Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
While practicing traditional, hands-on manipulation as the core of his chiropractic approach, Dr. Cox's philosophy in treating patients of all ages is to "use what works for the individual." That means he also employs a number of other treatment techniques, such as drop table, activator, and soft tissue manipulation.
After majoring in Communication Studies at California State University, Dr. Cox became a Certified Massage Therapist in 2001 and spent the next three years in that capacity in a chiropractic office before deciding to get his D.C. degree. After receiving his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) in 2007, he spent six years in private practice in Laguna Beach before returning to his alma mater to become a clinician, quality assurance chair, and lecturer. Dr. Cox moved to Palm Springs with his husband, Eric, in October 2015; at which time he commuted to the university until becoming a full-time resident in January 2017. Since then he has re-entered into private practice here in Palm Springs, in addition to his time spent at D.A.P.
A strong believer in service, Dr. Cox has participated in various committees and organizations, including Rotary, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the annual AIDS LifeCycleTM event, where he currently serves as captain of the Chiropractic/Acupuncture Sports Medicine team.
