Readers will remember that J & J sued the American Red Cross for using the Red Cross logo in its advertising campaign. What bold insolence, to use the Red Cross symbol as an advertising logo.......clearly the A.R.C. needed to be taught a lesson, J & J decided they would be the teacher of that lesson.
Now that the legal courts and court of public opinion are clearly rejecting J & J's unethical and arrogant behavior, it's time to expose and defeat the rent seeking nature of their pharmaceutical nicotine marketing plan.......worldwide smoking bans.
Feedback from the Red Cross can be found here.

This dissertation presents an outcome evaluation of a training programme provided to middle managers working in higher education institutions at four universities in the Western Cape. The Success Case Method was used to evaluate the training programme. An electronic questionnaire was sent to seventy five participants that attended the 2006 training to determine whether they could be classified as either a success (i.e. successfully applied the acquired knowledge and skills from the training programme) or a non-success case (i.e. did not successfully apply the knowledge and skills acquired from the training).

Sea Eagles footy legend Max Brown has joined the fight to save Mona Vale Hospital, saying he's only alive because of its Emergency Department.
Many local residents oppose NSW government plans to close Mona Vale Hospital, on the Northern Beaches, when a new private hospital opens at Frenchs Forest next month.
Mr Brown won the NSW Rugby League Premiership with Manly-Warringah in both 1972 and 1973 and established the Men of League welfare group for previous players in 1999.
The former winger said he felt nauseous one afternoon last October then woke up about 3am the next morning with a constricted chest and difficulty breathing.
"I had a pretty fair idea what it was," he said.
However, Mr Brown was faced with a dilemma. His wife, former top model Niki Turner, was ill at the time with gangrenous peritonitis and unable to drive.
Yet he knew that ambulances could take over an hour to arrive in Pittwater where the couple live and their home is difficult to access - so he drove himself to hospital.
"I just sort of fell out of the car when I got there, then I staggered, holding my chest trying to stop the pain, into the emergency area.
Mr Brown had suffered a serious heart attack with two completely blocked arteries and another obstructed 60 per cent.
He was stabilised at Mona Vale and transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital, where he had two stents fitted straight away. Doctors are continuing to monitor the condition of the other artery.
"I'd be dead if Mona Vale Hospital wasn't there," he said.
"I live in Clareville, which is the same distance to the new hospital at Frenchs Forest as Bondi to Frenchs Forest.
Save Mona Vale Hospital committee chairman Parry Thomas said his group had revived the campaign after calls from the community, and Mr Brown was one of those who had been in touch.
"This is not a top-down campaign; it's coming from the bottom up," Mr Thomas said.
"Everything we're doing has been driven by the community. That's why we decided to take the fight on again.
"One of the biggest groups in the community this has outraged is families with children.
Mr Thomas said The Big Picnic will take place in the reserve next to the hospital on Sunday, September 16, from 11.30am. It will be a family day with pony rides, music and dress ups.
He said the NSW government's plan to close Mona Vale Hospital was unfair to the community.
"It's an indictment of the government with its failure to invest in infrastructure, hence their willingness to invest in roads and other things they can flog off at a profit," Mr Thomas said.
"The whole exercise is cynical. It's only investing if it thinks it can make money.
The strength of community feeling was indicated by the number of people coming up to sign the campaign's petition to keep Mona Vale Hospital open, Mr Thomas said.
On Saturday outside Woolworths at Mona Vale, in the midst of weekend shopping, 650 locals had signed the petition.
Mr Brown encouraged local residents to join the fight to keep a fully-fledged hospital at Mona Vale.
"After 10 years of first grade rugby league I know only too well the pain that can be inflicted on the sporting field," Mr Brown said.
"Do we want our children to suffer pain inflicted from injuries longer than necessary before treatment?
"Do we want the sporting fields - be it soccer, netball, rugby league, rugby union, nippers - to become playing fields of anguish for parents?
"Do we wish to see mothers giving birth on the Wakehurst Parkway, either stuck in the 'moving carpark' or simply because they had to drive too far, passing the now unheralded Mona Vale "once-was-a-hospital"?
For the first time since surfing's boom in popularity in the 1960s, leaders of Surf Life Saving NSW and Surfing NSW have reached an agreement between the two state bodies. Increased cooperation, strong developmental pathways for athletes, and shared industry knowledge are just some of the many benefits for Australia's coastal communities.
A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by Surf Life Saving NSW President David Murray, and Luke Madden (Surfing NSW CEO), which heralds a new era of cooperation.
Some of the features of the new agreement include lifeguards and lifesaving assets provided to increase safety at Surfing NSW competitions, while the Surf Life Saving Academy will conduct First Aid Training for the Maroubra-based organisation.
Additionally Surfing NSW will provide fully accredited judges to the Midford NSW Board Riding Championships, and both organisations will cross promote events and development opportunities for their members.
"We are delighted to officially sign this MOU with Surfing NSW and look forward to our relationship continuing to grow," said SLSNSW President David Murray.
"It's a wonderful chance for our two organisations to share knowledge and introduce members to a diverse range of new opportunities.
"At the end of the day we both share the same passion for the ocean and many of our members are keen surfers when they are not volunteering on patrol," he said.
Surfing NSW CEO Luke Madden says he's excited for this partnership to come to fruition.
"We're coming together to make our beaches safer and we're stoked that we can work together officially now. We'll be bringing to life combined initiatives like our Surfers Rescue 24/7 water safety program - providing CPR & board rescue techniques to surfers. SLSNSW has helped with the growth of this program that is now engaging and empowering surfers along the entire NSW coastline to help out when there are no lifeguards or patrols available.
"Many of our top international athletes like two-time world surfing champion Tom Carroll and North Narrabeen's Laura Enever, have been involved in their local Surf Life Saving clubs throughout their lives. Their ties to both our communities highlight the natural synergy and love of the beaches we share."
The Management Teams From Surf NSW and Surf Life Saving NSW came together ahead of the formal signing of the MOU.

Emma says that it's freshness, quality and a secret dipping batter have set Ocean Master apart from the rest and keeps her customers coming back for more.
Everyone has a story about fish and chips, whether it is eating them on the beach or the Friday night family feed and Ocean Master is integral to a visit to Newport beach!
Ocean Master Newport has already been nominated for Australia's National Fish and Chip Awards, so just needs votes to showcase our delicious northern beaches offerings. Run by Fisheries research, there are two categories of Award – State and Territory People's Choice and Judged Fish and Chips. Voting ends 15th September 2018 with the winners announced in October.
This Royal Spoonbill spotted Friday morning in Careel Creek displays the signs of being in its breeding season.
The Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regiais) is a large white waterbird with black, spatulate (spoon-shaped) bill, facial skin, legs and feet. During the breeding season, it has a distinctive nuchal (back of head or nape of neck) crest, which can be up to 20 cm long in male birds (usually shorter in females). The crest can be erected during mating displays to reveal bright pink skin underneath. Breeding adults also have a creamy-yellow wash across the lower neck and upper breast and a strip of bright pink skin along the edge of the underwings which is obvious when the bird opens its wings. The facial skin is black with a yellow patch above the eye and a red patch in the middle of the forehead, in front of the crest feathers.
Be great if we could all be a bit mindful that we live in an environment populated with other animals of the furred, feathered and scaled kind this season and give them a bit of space and respect.

The Iberia Graeca Document Database aims to be a large collection of information and images, ordered and updated, of all the Greek material documents found on the Iberian peninsula, with the aim of offering historians dealing with the ancient world an instrument for reconstructing the historic processes concerned with the Greek presence, colonisation and trade and the interaction phenomena with the local societies.
The Iberia Graeca Database will permit fast access to typological, chronological, iconographic and contextual identifiers for every piece, as well as photographic or graphic reproductions. However, the Database does not aim to offer an in-depth study on each piece or its context: it is a search and consultation tool by means of crossed references that enable the initial information that could serve for future research work to be brought together quickly and with updated information.
The Iberia Graeca Database has been designed to cover the entry of all kinds of objects including ceramics, terracotta, bronze, architectural features, epigraphy, numismatics or jewellery. It is currently set up specifically for the "ceramics" category. The files and fields that refer to other categories will be introduced in the near future.


Designed after the Sugar Maple Leaf. Canada's signature tree! The veins on the leaves are hand engraved. Titanium posts and butterflies, very hypoallergenic.
The Maple Leaf is designed from a Sugar Maple Leaf, my favourite of the Maple trees. I love Maple syrup, and make it when the weather and conditions allow. My sisters say I drink it! The closest colour variation to what a real Sugar Maple Leaf turns in Autumn, is the Peachy-Pink/Yellow, because Niobium doesn't produce the colours red or orange.


The study published by the Researchers of the Washington University of the US published in the journal Science has found that sleep deprivation may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time and it is the cause of 60–70% of cases of dementia. As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self care, and behavioural issues and gradually bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death.
Sleeplessness accelerates the spread of toxic clumps of tau through the brain. Tau is a harbinger of brain damage and a decisive step along the path to dementia. Lack of sleep alone helps drive the disease and good sleep habits may help preserve brain health.
Tau is a protein routinely released during waking hours by the normal business of thinking and doing, and then the release is decreased during sleep allowing tau to be cleared away.

Home / WORLD / Biden the unifier? President-elect likens Cruz, Hawley to Nazi propagandist Goebbels, says they share blame for inciting violence
Biden the unifier? President-elect likens Cruz, Hawley to Nazi propagandist Goebbels, says they share blame for inciting violence
1 week ago WORLD 32 Views
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Biden said Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) share responsibility with President Donald Trump for inciting the violent protesters who breached the US Capitol on Wednesday. Rather than being forced to resign, he said the two senators should be voted out of office when they come up for re-election.
"They're part of a big lie, a big lie," Biden said. He then stumbled over a story about how Goebbels made people believe Nazi propaganda, such as exaggerating civilian casualties from the Allied bombing of Dresden, by telling a lie repeatedly. Goebbels infamously said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Cruz and Hawley led opposition to certifying results of the November 3 presidential election – at least not before an investigation – citing allegations that Biden won based on hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes in Georgia and other swing states. "If he's the only one saying it, that's one thing," Biden said of Trump. "But the acolytes that follow him, like Cruz and others, they are as responsible as he is."
Biden's comments were not unlike the Nazi-invoking rhetoric that was used against Trump and his supporters for the past four years. And the comments came one day after he leaned on another anti-Trump theme, racism, suggesting police failed to protect the Capitol because they responded more leniently to Wednesday's rioters than if the protest had been a Black Lives Matter event.
Social media users pointed out the contrast between Biden's pledges of healing and his divisive actions. "So now we are calling people Nazis?" a Twitter commenter asked. "This from the party who abused the DOJ to spy on their political opponents to abuse FISA? Remember, Joe Biden called Trump 'illegitimate' and claimed Russian collusion was real." Another observer quipped, "The Nazi talk is so 'unity,'" while still another reminded Biden of another quote that's often attributed to Goebbels: "Accuse the other side of that of which you are guilty."
"Biden would know best about what it is to repeat the same lies over and over until they're taken as truth," conservative Twitter pundit Ian Miles Cheong said. "He does it better than Trump ever did."

Highly persistent harmful chemicals are found in marine animals all over the world. These chemicals are having lasting impacts on the health of wildlife, as even if they are banned they stick around. In addition, there's now a new problem that is concerning scientists: microplastics from cosmetics and other applications are polluting the environment, and helping to transfer harmful chemicals into marine food chains.
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of chemicals that have been banned for over 30 years, but are still causing havoc. They were once used in electrical appliances such as transformers and TVs, but their highly persistent properties brought about a global ban. The persistence of PCBs means it is almost impossible for them to break down naturally in the environment. As such they are found all over the world in both on land and aquatic environments – in the body tissue of animals and humans. They accumulate in fat cells, and in oceans they found in higher quantities in animals near the top of the food chain. PCBs are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), that can upset the delicate hormone system, and they are known to suppress the immune system.
In a study released this year, it was found that female UK harbour porpoises are having severe reproductive issues that may be caused by PCBs. In the study almost 20% of female porpoises showed reproductive failure, evidence of stillbirth, foetal death or recent miscarriage. A further 17% had infections or tumours of reproductive organs that could have contributed to breeding failure. UK harbor porpoises overall had lower pregnancy rates compared to populations of porpoises in areas with less PCB pollution.
Though PCBs have been banned, they and other chemical contaminants are still finding their way into aquatic ecosystems. A new study shows that microplastics can be a vector, transferring chemicals from the surrounding environment into marine food chains.
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic, smaller than 5mm that pollute the world's oceans. They were first researched in 2004 when a team of scientists from Plymouth University showed that 'microplastic' particles had accumulated in the oceans since the 1960s and are now present worldwide. Even isolated environments are affected, with microplastics being ubiquitous in Arctic waters.
Microplastics originate in two main ways, firstly from products such as exfoliating beauty products, that have deliberately-added microplastic 'microbeads' that wash into the ocean via wastewater systems. Secondly, microplastics are also formed from the fragmentation of larger plastic items that have found their way into the ocean and have been broken down by sunlight. Research has also found that microplastics can be released when synthetic clothes (like fleeces) are washed.
Plastics like bisphenol A and chemicals such as phthalates, which are added to plastic during production, can have harmful hormone disrupting properties. But another key issue is that microplastics can also absorb harmful chemicals from the surrounding water or sediment. These chemicals can be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic substances, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated biphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants and dioxins.
A recent study has shown that tiny marine animals called zooplankton can mistake microbeads for food. The researchers found that the zooplankton each ate a number of microbeads, and the test showed that PBDEs from the plastic had transferred into the body tissue of the zooplankton (see photo). Zooplankton are near the bottom of the marine food chain and are eaten by a number of other species. The test shows that microplastics create a risk of contaminating aquatic food chains, which in turn has the potential for increasing public exposure to harmful chemicals through seafood.
Another study has shown that fish that ingested plastic which had absorbed chemical pollutants from the environment suffered from liver toxicity, stress and disease.
"It is hard to understand why major companies started making and using polluting microbeads and other microplastics in their products.
It's clear that microbeads should never have been used in everyday products, as companies must have known from the start that they would end up polluting rivers, lakes and oceans.
Though microplastics are still used in many beauty products, there is beginning to be some – slow – regulatory action.
The Netherlands is particularly worried due to the ability of microplastics to contaminate their national production of mussels. Furthermore, Unilever, L'Oreal, Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble have all said that they will phase out the use of microplastics in their products.
Harmful chemicals accumulate in the oil and fat of marine animals, so though studies suggest oily fish is good for brain function and development, make sure not to consume too much; "NHS Live Well" gives details. Other tips on reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals can be found on our "Take Action as a Consumer" page.
Write to the politicians who represent you at UK and EU level. More information on how to do this can be found on our "Take Action as a Citizen" page.
The "Beat the Bead" campaign aims to phase out the use of microplastics in cosmetics. They have produced an app that you can use to find out which products contain microplastics, to help you make good choices when doing your shopping.
In April 2016 CHEM Trust put in a response to the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee inquiry on the Environmental Impacts of Microplastics.
In October 2017 CHEM Trust put in a response to the European Commission consultation on Microplastics.
In May 2018 CHEM Trust put in a response to the European Chemicals Agency's call for evidence on the use of intentionally added microplastic particles in products of any kind.

A Frame Cabin Floor Plans - There are many different factors to consider when you are starting the process of building your own home. It's rather a demanding period, of training course. It involves saving money and making sure that you can continue steadily to pay all of the necessary bills later on. There may be some headaches as to which style you ultimately decide upon as well. If you are going to become living with someone else, then you may disagree on which best suits you. Should you choose something modern, or even more traditional such as for example cottage home plans? Just how many rooms in the event you include, such as bedrooms and bathrooms? Do you want there to become a really open spaces, or to have each room a little more closed off? It all depends upon the right path of living.
The first thing you should bear in mind while planning for a home makeover is the availability of resources. Always consider where to get those materials that you'll need for the renovation. Are they easily accessible and affordable? An architect or a contractor cannot fulfill the new design and strategy without the availability of resources. There are materials that are simple to obtain. Therefore you need to check or contact some manufacturers and businesses who can provide you the materials before you will start implementing.

Hotelements Ashley Madison Review What's Special About It Web Web Site?
He mentioned it was the discretion issue that attracted him to Ashley Madison over other relationship sites, as a result of he didn't wish to digitally run into any of his associates or acquaintances whereas he is going by way of his separation. To start a conversation with a female member, a guy needs to pay for the credits that will be used to initiate the conversation. Send messages to 18 exclusive members each month for three months. One lady, having heard about my interest, supplied to tell me about her experience on Ashley Madison, a relationship app designed for married folks in search of out affairs. Toronto-based Ruby, which now bills Ashley Madison simply as an online-dating site, has been cooperating with the FTC for more than a year, according to a statement by Rob Segal, the company's chief executive officer since July.
But users of the dating site are also turning to the web for help. At the end of the day, women and men cheat on their partners for a lot of different causes, and Ashley Madison welcomes everyone with out judgment. Last week, after the so-called Impact Team" of hackers released a first set of data identifying users of the cheating website, Georgetown-based Trustify made a tool that allows anyone to check whether an email address was contained in the leak. According to a new report from CNBC , victims of the Ashley Madison scam are seeing an uptick in ransom emails that contain detailed information about their former profiles.
Subscription to Ashley Madison is free, but for most of the activities, it is necessary to sign up for a subscription, which among other things makes it easier to get in touch with other subscribers to the service. If Tom complied and bowed to the blackmail, his account information would apparently be removed and would not be available on a "publicly searchable website" the attackers allegedly are going to launch in the coming weeks. This time the attack was on (mostly) men that wanted to have an affair, and the attackers' reported motive was the unscrupulous practices of Ashley Madison's business policies, especially the company's offer of deletion" of account information for a fee, which apparently was a service that didn't quite deliver on its promises.
Ashley Madison claims to have 38 million members, men and women who are looking to have affairs. Without self-initiative, nothing is possible at Ashleymadison, if you like someone and you want an affair, you have to invest a lot. The suit notes that, among other claims, ALM offered a paid option in ru-bride.org/ashleymadison-review.html which people who created a profile could have their account scrubbed from the Tinder-for-adulterers website if they coughed up $19. You can deactivate a profile to hide it in search results of other users.
And if people want to clutch their pearls about living human women using a service like Ashley Madison to have sexy, sexy affairs — well, life is short, as the company's marketing slogan goes. Thus, should you take a look at its members' profiles, most of them are married folks in search of discreet relationships. The Vermont attorney general joined the Federal Trade Commission chairwoman this afternoon to announce a settlement with the operators of Toronto-based dating site after the company deceived consumers and failed to protect account information before a July 2015 data breach.
Whatever you think of Ashley Madison, the dating site for married people, you've got to admit they offer a unique payment option. Users almost always pay with credit card; their purchase details are not removed as promised, and include real name and address, which is of course the most important information the users want removed. That said, security professionals and specialized news websites have proclaimed the archive legitimate, in part because it contains internal documents from Avid Life.

I would like to create an interactive graph where the X axis represents the data.
However, I would like it to be interactive in these ways:

*

*Represent visits per day, week, month and year.

*Change the interval of time represented (for instance, year 2017, or last two months, etc).

I am aware my code has plenty of errors:
inputPanel(
  selectInput("visits", label = "Dates",
              choices = c("Days", "Weeks", "Months", "Years"), selected = Days)
)

renderPlot({
  ggplot(visits, aes(x = date, y = visits)) +
    geom_point(size=0.2) +
    geom_line(lwd=0.1)
})

If I do not the inputPanel I see the ggplot. So my issue here is how the make it interactive with the options required above.

A: We can start by grouping based on what the user has entered, then we can use aes_string inside ggplot to accept x and y as a string.
library(shiny)
library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)
#Load Visits
ui <- fluidPage(
  inputPanel(
  selectInput("visits", label = "Dates",
  choices = c("Days", "Weeks", "Months", "Years"), selected = 'Days')
  ),
  mainPanel(plotOutput('plt'))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  df <- reactive({
  if(input$visits=='Days'){
  visits_final <- visits %>% group_by(Days = date)
  }else if(input$visits=='Weeks'){
  visits_final <- visits %>% group_by(Weeks = week(date))
  } else if(input$visits=='Months'){
  visits_final <- visits %>% group_by(Months = month(date))
  } else if(input$visits=='Years'){
  visits_final <- visits %>% group_by(Years = year(date))
  }
  visits_final <- visits_final %>% summarise(Visits=sum(visits, na.rm = TRUE))
  })

  #TO check your df befor ploting
  observe(print(df()))

  output$plt <- renderPlot({
  ggplot(df(), aes_string(x =input$visits, y = "Visits")) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_line(lwd=0.1)
  })
}

Maryland Terrapins Get New Under Armour Uniforms Inspired by the "Star Spangled Banner"

Today, the University of Maryland and Under Armour announced a 10-year partnership extension that will see all 20 of the school's varsity sports programs outfitted in the Baltimore-based company's gear through the 2023-2024 school year. "The University of Maryland is an integral part of Under Armour's history, culture and identity," said Matt Mirchin, Executive Vice President, Global Marketing, Under Armour.
Speaking of history, the University of Maryland football team will unveil their new UA uniforms this weekend, when they looked to stay undefeated against West Virginia. And the uniforms couldn't pay a better homage to the state of Maryland. The new unis will pay tribute to the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The valiant defense of the fort inspired Francis Scott Key to compose "Defense of Fort McHenry." You may know it better as the "Star Spangled Banner."
If these new unis don't inspire patriotism and tradition, then we don't know what does. Check out a few shots of the new kits above, and don't forget that freedom and football are part of what makes this country great.

RSF Irrigation District Joint Facilities Advisory Committee reviews projects
Cities Community Community News Rancho Santa Fe Region
by Alex Wehrung November 21, 2019 November 22, 2019 0332
https://www.thecoastnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Episode_01_Full.mp3
RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Irrigation District's Joint Facilities Advisory Committee held a meeting on Nov. 14 at the irrigation district's office to discuss the current status of the Lake Hodges Dam, the progress of the Joint Facilities Capital Improvement Program and the current status of Joint Facilities operations.
Santa Fe Irrigation District General Manager Albert Lau made a verbal presentation on the status of the Lake Hodges Dam. He explained that the water stored in Lake Hodges is jointly owned by the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the San Dieguito Water District and the city of San Diego. The dam itself is owned and administered by the City of San Diego.
Lake Hodges is currently at 40% capacity of its maximum 30,251 acre feet, putting it under 13,000 acre feet. Lau expects the capacity to stay reduced for the next decade. San Diego is working on a near-term fix to make sure capacity does not continue to decrease.
In the case of additions to the reservoir, like rain, water must be either removed or released from the lake to maintain the dam's integrity, as the dam was built in 1918 and thus, does not conform to current seismic standards.
In the case of a leak or breakage, there is a danger present, as several structures are currently located within the dam's flood zone. An evaluation of the dam's structural integrity is expected to be a time-consuming process.
Engineering Services Manager Bill Hunter took over for the next presentation, in which he detailed the budget and progress of several projects. Said budget was $7.57 million for projects like the removal of solid matter from the San Dieguito reservoir, making seismic improvements to two facility structures built in the 1960s, replacing the roof on the Badger Administration Building, replacing valves at the Cielo Pump Station that were corroded by debris from the 2007 Witch Creek fire that landed in Lake Hodges, and repairing the concrete in the Badger Administration Building's filters (the last of which will take up to three years).
Water Treatment Plant Manager Tim Bailey led a presentation on the presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) — a chemical used as an industrial surfactant — in local water. He explained that PFAs (which were invented in the 1930s and manufactured from the 1940s to the 1990s) tend to concentrate in southern California, and that the EPA issued a health advisory regarding PFAs in quantities of 70 parts per trillion (ppt).
However, there are currently no PFAs in Rancho Santa Fe water sources or distribution systems; PFAs also tend to be groundwater contaminants. More tests will be conducted for PFAs in 2023.
Finally, Bailey announced that the district's water treatment plant can now continue to function in the event of a power outage — using emergency power drawn from generators — and still maintain treatment standards with no service interruptions during an outage.
The next Join Facilities Advisory Committee is currently scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 13, 2020 at the Santa Fe Irrigation District. This meeting's agenda can be accessed on its website at sfidwater.org.
Editors Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Lake Hodges is owned by the San Diego County Water Authority. An earlier version also incorrectly stated that the dam must be rebuilt completely to be structurally compliant for current seismic standards. The City of San Diego is still evaluating the dam's integrity and how it could possibly still be reinforced. The Coast News Group regrets the errors.

Q: How to accept an arbitary JSON object? I've got a Jax-rs endpoint that accepts JSON analogous to:
{
"a": 1,
"b": "some value",
"c": { <-some-arbitary-json-object-> }
}

In my DTO, a and b are no issue. What do I do with c?  I need only to serialize it again (or, indeed, just read it as a String), I don't need to process it in any way. I do need to do things with a and b, so I can't just treat the entire body as a String.
What data type do I need to give it so that jax-rs/jersey can deserialize it?
I can't help but feel I'm missing something obvious.

A: I worked out one way, but I feel I'm probably re-inventing the wheel. I defined a custom deserializer to read in the arbitary JSON then serialise it again:
public class JsonAsStringDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<String> {
    private final ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
  @Override
  public String deserialize(JsonParser p, DeserializationContext ctx)
          throws IOException {
     TreeNode node = mapper.readTree(p);
     return mapper.writeValueAsString(node);

  }
}

And in the model POJO:
@JsonDeserialize(using = JsonAsStringDeserializer.class)
private String c = null;

Arabic periodicals

Ottoman/Turkish periodicals
You are here: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Bonn → Handschriften, Autographen, Bilder → Digitization Project Translatio
Establishment of a research platform
The digitization project "Translatio" at the Department of Islamic Studies and Middle Eastern Languages (Abteilung für Islamwissenschaft und Nahostsprachen) at the Institute for Oriental and Asian Studies at the University of Bonn focuses on Arabic, Persian and Ottoman-Turkish periodicals published during the Middle Eastern and Asian "saddle period" between 1860 and 1945 and making them digitally accessible. The project has initially been supported by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research of North-Rhine Westphalia (01st November 2013 to 31st October 2014) and is financed from then on by the Department of Islamic studies and Middle Eastern languages.
In a first step, the relevant and extremely scattered sources are being identified, collected from different libraries and then - in consultation with the respective institution - digitized in Bonn. The completeness of the journals is of high relevance. Subsequently, the single issues of the journals will be prepared, whereby the structuring and allocation of the dates given in the original will provide higher usability. At the end, the periodicals are published in the Digital Collections of the University and State Library of Bonn, which makes the digital copies - as JPEG and PDF files - available online for free.
Currently, cooperations exist with the following German libraries: Bamberg University Library, Oriental Seminar of the University of Freiburg, Mainz University Library, Bavarian State Library Munich, Tübingen University Library. For further information about the digitized periodicals, their content and their history, see the project website: https://www.translatio.uni-bonn.de/

Famous Birthdays by Year


I fish baits at all depths, not just the bottom, in wide-open water. I always set up and fish deep lake structures. Besides an understanding of the contours on the bottom of the lake, being mobile and being able to read your fish locator are the keys. The tools I use are 8-foot heavy action rods, circle hooks, cut and live shad, balloons and the all-important fish locator. I use 30-pound line, large capacity reels, 8-foot heavy action rods, 2 oz. Egg sinkers, barrel swivels and #7/0 circle hooks.
Basically a Carolina Rig, I have a hook with an 18-inch leader tied to your barrel swivel, which is connected to your main line, which is where your egg sinker is attached. My boat is equipped with steel rod holders, a hand-controlled trolling motor, two fish locators, a big dip net and marker buoys. My equipment is not the most expensive but it is practical. The main thing to remember is to keep whatever equipment you use in good condition. Many know all too well about the disasters that can be caused by old line and improperly maintained fishing equipment and big Blues will test everything from your knots to your rod holders. If there is a weak link, they will expose it.
You need to know how to tell the difference between larger fish and bait fish while using your fish locator.
There are two main structures that I catch Blue Cats on: ledges and humps. Blue Cats are creatures of edges and they seem to congregate on the brake lines of ledges and humps. The one-two punch comes when you find these structures with both bait fish and big fish mixed together on your locator. There are very few spots that I will stop and fish where I don't see either big fish or bait fish on my locator. The ledges that I primarily fish are old river channels edges. The fish can be scattered up and down the edge but the best fishing occurs when they are on the top.
Typically, when I set up to fish these ledges, I run my boat over them and throw out my marker buoy where I see the fish. A little trick to using your marker buoys is to throw your marker upwind of where you are going to fish. If you drop the marker right on top of the fish, you will be bumping it and will eventually move it while the wind is pushing you around. If you throw it upwind of the fish, you can run your trolling motor right up to it without the wind pushing you over it.
Next I bait my rods, staggering them at the depth I see the fish. If the fish are up high, above 10 feet, I use a balloon and live shad on two rods. The other four rods will have half live and half cut shad, which I will suspend over the fish, continuously moving around the marker until the first strike occurs. In the warmer months the bite will usually occur on live shad. The colder the water, the better that cut bait seems to work.
Keep moving the depth of your baits up and down according to what your locator is telling you. An easy way to determine the depth of your bait is to measure the distance between the first guide and your rod's reel. My rods are two feet from reel to the first guide so when I pull out twenty sections of line between my reel and the first guide, my bait will be approximately 40 feet deep. Stagger the depth of your bait so that you know how deep each is. When you get your first strike, move your other rods to that depth. If no strikes occur within 30 minutes move to another structure. I have set on the same ledge for many hours and caught fish, but I will usually have to move after catching 5 to 10 active fish. If you do not have a trolling motor you can use anchors, but it requires many sessions of heaving up heavy anchors and can soon kill the fun of ledge fishing. When water is at its coldest, the anchor method will work better due to the inactivity of the fish below.
In other words, the warmer the water the faster the fish will spook out from under your boat. The colder the water the less chance the fish will want to move away due to their comfort zone in the water column.

Tide rips are one of the most common areas to fly fish for salmon at Neah Bay. I'm addicted to fly fishing tide rips for coho salmon in the saltwater.

Biography – THRESHER, GEORGE GODSELL – Volume VIII (1851-1860) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
THRESHER, GEORGE GODSELL, painter, art teacher, and office holder; b. 6 April 1780 in Salisbury, England, son of Thomas Thresher and Rachel —; m. Eliza Wilson Brooks, and they had two sons and three daughters; d. 9 Dec. 1857 in Charlottetown.
Artists made a real contribution to the life of 19th-century North America in their own works and by teaching others to appreciate the fine arts. They also provided for succeeding generations a pictorial record of contemporary life. In spite of these services it was hard for an artist to make a reasonable living unless employed by a wealthy family. Early immigrant artists thus moved from city to city, often following the coastline.
George Godsell Thresher immigrated to New York City in 1806 and later worked in Philadelphia, Montreal, Halifax, and Charlottetown. He is said to have studied art under Ross Dodd in London, and to have served in the Royal Navy. He also stated in later advertisements that he had taught "in some of the most respectable Boarding Schools and private families in Europe." In New York Thresher obtained a teaching position with the family of Dr J. Wallis Brooks and married his daughter.
Thresher was primarily a marine artist and was said by a descendant to have done paintings during the War of 1812 for the city of New York depicting naval victories. These were to be given to American commanders. A work known to have survived from this period shows the engagement between the uss Hornet and hms Peacock, a pictorial record done in 1813 of the American vessel's defeat of the British ship on 24 February of that year.
As well as working in New York until about 1813, Thresher is said to have taught art in Philadelphia before moving to Montreal with members of the Brooks family when Honoria Brooks, his sister-in-law, married a John Dillon of Montreal. In May 1816 Thresher announced the opening of an academy for drawing in crayon or chalk and painting in water-colours or oils. A receipt from 1818 states that he was paid £14 15s. 0d. for painting 59 street signs for the city.
By 1821 Thresher had moved to Halifax. He made it his headquarters for some years though he may have lived temporarily in other parts of Nova Scotia pursuing work in his profession. He was on board the schooner Speculation when it was wrecked off Cape Breton on 7 Nov. 1828, and he advertised in May 1829 for any effects from that wreck, identifying himself as "Drawing Master, Pictou."
By July 1829 he was in Charlottetown advertising that he would open a drawing and painting academy with instruction in penmanship and bookkeeping as soon as a sufficient number of pupils were obtained. His academy, "by Permission from his late Majesty, and under the Patronage of his Excellency the Lieut. Governor," John Ready*, opened in December. Although Thresher remained in Charlottetown except for a brief period in the winter of 1829–30, teaching may not have provided a sufficiently remunerative living. He advertised that he would do ornamental drawing-room painting with landscape scenery; Scripture pieces for chapels and churches; masonic aprons and banners on velvet, silk, or muslin; coats of arms and crests on carriages; furniture painted in imitation of different kinds of woods and marbles; gilt work; and ornamental writing. His wife and daughter augmented the family income by operating a school for young ladies in the different branches of education, including drawing and painting. An oil painting by Mrs Thresher entitled Man with pipe (c. 1848) attests to her skill.
Beginning in September 1830 a large painting by Thresher was exhibited in Charlottetown. Its subject was the bombardment of Algiers (Algeria) by Lord Exmouth on 27 Aug. 1816, painted "from a correct sketch taken on the spot, by a gentleman who went for the entire purpose." The price of admission to see the painting was a costly one shilling for adults, and suggests that both artist and painting were held in high regard.
Apparently unable to support himself by art alone, Thresher accepted an appointment in 1838 as deputy registrar of deeds, relinquishing the position in 1851 to become deputy colonial secretary. When he was forced to retire in 1853 because of infirmity, the House of Assembly overwhelmingly voted to grant him £30 "in consideration of his services." He seems, however, to have continued to paint throughout his lifetime. His depiction of the great gale that swept the Island in 1851 was reputed to have been submitted to an industrial exhibition in New York City where it was awarded a prize. When Charlottetown was incorporated in April 1855, Thresher was asked to submit designs for a city seal. He was paid one shilling, and the by-law to establish the seal received sanction in December. He was also a member of the Charlottetown Mechanics' Institute and lectured several times on such subjects as aerial perspective and the first principles of drawing.
Prince Edward Island was fortunate in attracting artists. The main contribution of William Valentine*, Leon Rosse, and S. W. Martin was in the field of portraiture. George Thresher, Fanny Amelia Bayfield [Wright*], and George Hubbard, on the other hand, provided documentary accounts of life in 19th-century North America. As well, George Thresher is esteemed as a competent marine artist by collectors of naval paintings in both Canada and the United States.

[The most comprehensive list of the paintings done by Thresher in the United States is in the Inventory of American paintings executed before 1914, a database compiled by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art (Washington). Illustrations of some of those paintings, along with biographical information on Thresher, is found in Douglas Norris, "The Hornet and the Peacock," Antiquarian (New York), 11 (1929): 53, 80; "George Thresher, naval painter," Antiques (New York), 48 (July–December 1945): 230, 232; Catalogue of a special exhibition of the Irving S.

Among his paintings done in British America, View of Charlottetown, date unknown, and Charlotte Town taken from J. S. McGill Esq. farm, 1836, are held by the PAPEI. The former is reproduced in Through Canadian eyes: trends and influences in Canadian art, 1815–1965, comp.

Crosman Extends Endorsement Partnerships With Jim Shockey And Eva Shockey
by HLNews | Jun 24, 2016 | Featured
BLOOMFIELD, New York (JUNE 23, 2016) Crosman Corporation, the world's largest designer and manufacturer of airguns and ammunition, is excited to announce extensions of its endorsement agreements with the powerhouse team of Jim Shockey and Eva Shockey. The duo have been instrumental in delivering the message of airguns as tools for shooter education and the effectiveness, and fun, of airguns for serious hunting adventures.
Jim has been an award-winning outdoor writer, wildlife photographer/videographer, wilderness guide and outfitter for nearly 30 years. "Crosman leads the world in airgun innovation and the tools their team have created for hunters are the best performing, best value in air power," said Shockey. "They get it. And I can't wait to see what they come up with next!"
Jim Shockey introduced the world to the Benjamin Pioneer Airbow earlier this year
Jim Shockey helped usher in the idea of "going beyond the backyard" with airguns when Crosman, under it's premium hunting brand, Benjamin, developed it's first .357 caliber hunting rifle in 2011. "Jim's input has helped drive the creation of products that are capable while remaining affordable, the latest evidence of which is the Pioneer Airbow," says Jennifer Lambert, VP Marketing for Crosman. "Benjamin airguns and airbows enable an exciting and rich hunting experience and Jim masterfully delivers this message in a way only he can – by proving it in the field."
As co-host of "Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures", Eva Shockey has helped deliver the message of hunting and the outdoors as activities to be enjoyed by the entire family. Her enthusiasm is palpable and her social media following of 1.5+ million are testament to her
positive message. "Crosman products bring families and friends together like nothing else! They're fun to shoot, great for introducing the sport to new shooters, and when it's time to hunt, I know I can count on my Crosman!," says Eva.
Eva Shockey and her favorite PCP rifle, the award-winning Benjamin Marauder.
Eva's appeal runs the gamut: kids latch on to her excited outlook and parents love the focus on family. "Eva got her first turkey while using a Benjamin air rifle and the joy of that moment was genuine. People
love her outgoing personality, her passion and her sincerity so when she recommends a Crosman or Benjamin product, it's the real deal," said Lambert.
The Crosman-Shockey partnership includes an extension of the company's affiliation with "Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures" on Outdoor Channel, tradeshow appearances and Signature Series products like the Benjamin Trail air rifle with Nitro Piston 2 technology.

You've all heard this little jingle, at least in America, that the fabric of our life is cotton. Well, I say, the fabric of our lives is love. It has been and always will be the binding tie which connects us all. We are all united by humanity, which is a byproduct of love. Love is the seed of all creation, whether or not your birth can be a recognizable as the personification of something loving or a result of something less noble, such as an act of lust between two strangers, or even scientific intervention through laboratory procedures, at the root of all love in this world is the Creator of this world, God, whom is the ultimate source of love.
How do we know love from any other feeling or mood, sense or notion we experience? Love is transcendence, it is a desire to live more for another than for self, to give of self to the betterment of another's life, to improve the life of another human being by your compassion, care, and nurturing. Love is the most selfish, yet riskiest proposition that is known to mankind. Without love, no one could dwell peacefully anywhere . . within our familial homes, with our spouses, with our children, in our more modern lifestyles, with our neighbors, our friends, our communities, and with our God. Without love, nothing good could prosper, we wouldn't desire anything good like nature's well-being, we wouldn't procreate nor would we want to see the longevity of those we love. We would selfishly take life for ourselves, then we would be unable to share our time, our space, our innermost beings with anyone, much less those close to us. Love, were it to wither away and die, would leave a bleak existence in its wake!
So how can love be revived, refreshed, perpetuated, and prolonged? Love is the most beautiful sensory garden that we can create inside our beings. When we love, we are most connected to another human being, to such an extent that we actually are at an elevated risk of being easily offended, hurt, harmed, and brokenhearted if things don't go our way. Love isn't a guarantee, nor a sure-thing, but it's a promise nonetheless! Believe and have faith, let your heart be open, and let yourself feel love when it comes to nest in your garden! Be alive in those moments, don't shut down, nor let bitterness rob you of love's potential. Love only stands a chance when it is given fertile ground to grow! Love needs you to be a constant and present gardener, whom cares, gives, endures and hopes, faithfully and earnestly letting love flow into what you are nurturing!


New report, 'Electroactive Polymers and Devices: 2013-2018: Forecasts, Technologies, Players' added to reportbuyer.com.
Electroactive polymers are one of the most promising technologies. Compared to inorganic materials the versatile polymers have various attractive properties, such as being lightweight, inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Tremendous amount of research and development has led to Electroactive Polymers (EAP) that can also change size or shape when stimulated by the right external electrical activation mechanism, meaning they can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
According to the report, 'Electroactive Polymers and Devices 2013-2018: Forecasts, Technologies, Players', haptics for consumer portable touch screen devices and peripherals is going to be the next big application and potentially the first large-scale implementation of EAP actuators in general with an expected penetration of 60% for haptic feedback in mobile phones for 2018.
The large-scale penetration of the touchscreen market will finally take the technology to the next level. The report forecasts a penetration of the haptics for consumer electronics touch display market exceeding 60% by 2018. This success will account for over 40% of the expected total revenue in 5 years.

A 3D carousel using CSS 3D transforms and transitions.

The [demo](http://morisset-web.co.uk/3D_carousel/index.html) is here.

This carousel has been inspired by this [awesome tutorial on 3D transforms](http://desandro.github.io/3dtransforms/).

Since support is far from perfect on 3D transforms, this plug-in will require a fallback if used in a production environment.

## Features
* No need for external libraries.
* Easy to style since everything is in the CSS

## Setup

#### Markup
you need this kind of html structure :

```html
  <div class="carousel-container" id="carousel-container">
		<div class="sub-container">
		  <div id="carousel" class="carousel">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
				<img src="" alt="description">
		  </div>
	  </div>
	</div>
```

Note that the top level div can be any block level element (section...).

#### CSS

Either link to the file carousel.css in the head of your document or copy its content in your own file.
you can modify the following rules :
* `.carousel-container` : Anything can be changed.
* `.carousel img` : Don't touch the first 5 lines. Also, if modifying the `height` and `top` property, keep in mind that height + 2 top should be equal to 100%.
* `.carousel` and `sub-container` : Do not touch.

#### Javascript
Just link to the file carousel.js at the end of your html page, and that's it.

##### javascript options
At the moment, there are two options that can be modified : the keys used to navigate the carousel. they are set by default to down and up arrow. Here are the options that need to be setup :

```javascript
var carouselOptions = {
  rotateDown: ,       // default code 40 for down arrow
  rotateUp:           // default code 38 for up arrow
}
carousel3D.init(carouselOptions);
```
