This easy breezy dress I picked for the OC Style Report's Blogger of the Month shoot was one of my favorites because it hits all the current trends – stripes, off the shoulder, and ties. The smocked neckline makes this an easy dress up or dress down outfit (which I love). What makes this dress unique are the ties on the sleeves so you can wear them down or pull them up and the rope-like belt which gives more structure to the dress. I paired these with a classic bootie, but I could have easily also thrown on a pair of tennis shoes or flip flops to dress this down.


Steph Cope became the first female head brewer in Nevada when she was hired on at Henderson brewery CraftHaus.
Fortunately for Las Vegas beer drinkers, Aussies love to travel. For her fourth trip to the States, South Australian native Steph Cope and her boyfriend/fellow brewer Steve Brockman decided on a 13-month American beer tour ... that ended with entrepreneurs Wyndee and Dave Forrest hiring the couple to dream up the signature suds for their Henderson brewery CraftHaus, which opened last September in the Booze District.
This made Cope the first female head brewer in Nevada, a distinction that—despite her longtime participation in the Pink Boots Society, which works to educate and advance women in the beer industry—she's modest about, mostly because she didn't encounter any political barriers or glass ceilings. "I think women being in brewing suffered because for so long, every single beer advertisement was telling everyone that a brewer or a beer drinker should be a man," she told the Weekly at the CraftHaus tap room, fresh from brewing up a new sour beer that will join her and Brockman's saison, IPA and other varieties—now found in over 50 local bars and stores.
Do you remember your first beer? Absolutely, it was Cooper's Pale Ale. It's an easy-drinking, floral, fruity beer that's yeast-driven. I was lucky. I was 18, but that's the drinking age in Australia! (laughs) I started home-brewing shortly after that.
Have you developed strong preferences toward any beer varieties? I've always loved pale ales, and the Australian pale ale is fairly accessible to most people. That led to IPAs, and I've always loved stouts as well, and then I got into Belgian beers later on. It's like listing your favorite child when asked your favorite style.
You initially studied economics and politics, and landed a government job in trade and economic development after you graduated. Does that skill set still serve you as a brewer? I'm glad I saw the light and came over to the brewing side, but I've used numbers and a lot of my Excel [skills], and there's a lot of science and managing the brewery, making it economical to brew beer. The good thing about beer is, historically, it's been one of the most recession-proof commodities. That's a good incentive to go into brewing!
Two years later, you went back to school for brewing, and were hired to work at a prestigious brewery only a month into your studies. Would you call yourself a quick learner? I ask a lot of questions and I was very annoying when I was learning. I had to learn not to second-guess myself. One of the brewers that trained me used to hide because he'd see I had a question and he knew I could handle it myself. So I'd just do it and it would be the right answer. In brewing, you have to trust yourself.
Both you and Steve were successful in Australia, so the US beer scene must have been substantial to lure you over. Absolutely. With a lot of the European and British breweries, they're amazing, but they haven't changed. They're not as innovative as in the States, who are at the forefront. The States is making the best beer in the world. We wanted to be a part of that.
How did you first meet the Forrests? We were in Denver. We posted that we were looking for work in Colorado or Oregon or California, the three main places we visited. And they contacted us. They were like, "We're opening a brewery in Las Vegas ... yes, Las Vegas!" And they asked if we wanted to swing by and chat, and we agreed to do that. We had Skyped a few times beforehand and liked their vision, and we were finishing each other's sentences, so that's always good. But we weren't going to come to Vegas. We were going to go down through Arizona—like, it was a bunch of flashing lights and we were penny-pinching through the States. Somehow they got us to Vegas. And they were very clever. They didn't take us to the Strip. They took us to Red Rock [Canyon] and Sour Fest at Atomic [Liquors]. We were like, this isn't so bad! And the weather was great; we'd been up in Colorado, which was cold at the time. We were wooed.
Did you and Steve have to come up to speed quickly with regard to beer culture in the city? And did that play into what beer varieties you considered for CraftHaus' launch? Yeah. The overarching thing that Steve and I found touring throughout the country was sticking to fewer styles or broad, overarching styles. Belgians and IPAs is CraftHaus, and that has worked out in breweries in Oregon and California and North Carolina—a really good business plan, we think. Within that, we have our saison, which is easy-drinking and low-alcohol, and it's not challenging by any means. We designed that beer specifically for non-craft drinkers so it could be a gateway beer. Also, people that are kind of drinking Blue Moon but want to get into a local beer, [and one] complex enough that it would satisfy beer geeks as well. Even with the IPA, we were like, instead of [making] a rip-your-palate-off beer, we balanced it with some malt so it's easy-drinking. We thought about that, and that it's hot, so we wanted people to be able to drink in the heat.
And the reason we chose cans was also for Las Vegas; you can take a six- or four-pack and pack in, pack out. If the Strip eventually goes glass-free ... people can drink them on the Strip, they cool down quicker, they're better for the environment—they're just easier. And they look great on the shelf.
When you realized you would be the first female head brewer in the state, did that mean anything to you? I shouldn't have been! (laughs) But Nevada's brewing scene is a little slower than, say, California or wherever. Hopefully there will be more. Maybe it just takes one person and more people will consider it. I didn't even know it was an option to be a brewer until I found the brewing courses—like, oh, this is available for me.
There's a stereotype that most women don't drink beer, but do you find that far more do than assumed? Yeah, more and more. That's why Pink Boots [Society] is so important. Not only does it educate the people already [in the beer industry] but highlights that you're not alone. (laughs) The more women that get together and drink together and share their experiences—that's a very important network for us to have. And the Pink Boots [collaboration brews] get a lot of promotion. Some kid at UNLV studying bioscience might be like, oh, I really like beer, maybe that's a career path for me.
Do you find Pink Boots or even yourself telling pickier or more skeptical women that there's a beer for them? Yeah. There is a beer for everyone. And sometimes going the route of a lighter beer is not the best way. Give someone a Russian imperial stout and they're just as likely to like it, or for a lot of women, their gateway beer is an IPA. Everyone's different.
Do you feel Las Vegas can take the lead on embracing women in the beer industry, given how many women work in the general beverage industry here? I guess so, yeah, if the 40 million visitors here can get exposure to female brewers and bartenders—and there are some great female bartenders in Las Vegas, specifically for beer.
Your creations are now sold all over town, but is it a bigger score when you can get into the big casinos? Our focus was the craft beer and local bars at the start, because we are foremost a locals' brewery. When we get more capacity, then we'll definitely make a push for the casinos, but as it stands, we didn't want to run out of beer for Rebel Republic or Atomic Liquors or wherever. We wanted to satisfy beer places.
Do you feel there's pressure for bars to have local brews? Yeah, and that's a testament to the locals. That's what it takes, someone to walk into the bar and ask what's local, and hopefully the bartender knows—and if they don't, they check.
CraftHaus Tap Room 7350 Eastgate Road #110, 702-462-5934. Wednesday & Thursday, 5-10 p.m.; Friday, 2 p.m.-midnight; Saturday, noon-midnight; Sunday, noon-8 p.m.


Bonnaroo's lineup doesn't go public for another couple of days, but U2 have already let the cat out of the bag. They're set to headline the Tennessee festival in June, marking their first-ever headlining performance for a U.S. festival. What's the occasion? Oh, only just the 30th anniversary of the band's seminal album, The Joshua Tree. To celebrate, the band will be embarking on a North American and European tour where they'll play the whole album front to back, including at Bonnaroo; it's the first time they've toured the album since 1987. The Edge calls the timing "serendipitous," telling Rolling Stone that the band decided to do this tour because it felt like the album had renewed relevancy in light of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump in ways that their forthcoming album, Songs of Experience, hasn't yet been tweaked to address. "I don't think any of our work has ever come full circle to that extent," he says. And, yes, he says the band will even play "Red Hill Mining Town" (and perhaps other rarities), with or without you there to see it finally happen. Free tip: Be there.

Chantel Acevedo is the author of adult novels, including The Distant Marvels, a finalist for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and the middle-grade novel Muse Squad: The Cassandra Curse. She was born in Miami to Cuban parents. In the middle-grade mystery The Curse on Spectacle Key (Balzer + Bray), Frank Fernandez never stays in one place for long. His parents renovate unusual buildings and turn them into homes, so the family moves a lot – which makes it hard for bookish Frank to make friends. So when his parents announce they're moving to Florida's Spectacle Key to live in a lighthouse, and for good, he's thrilled. But the place isn't the perfect forever home they'd imagined. The lighthouse is falling apart, and there are knocks on the door and mysterious sighs and sniffles, but no one is ever there. There's even a creepy doll that seems to move on its own. Is Spectacle Key haunted? Then Frank meets a girl in old-fashioned clothes. She has no memory of who she is. But she does know that the island is under a curse – and she needs Frank's help to figure out how to lift it.

Q: How to raise a modal with an autocomplete input in ASP.NET Core 2.1 I need to implement a JQuery autocomplete inside a modal in ASP-NET Core 2.1

the problem is that it is not showing anything, why am I getting this behavior?
I attach my code:

        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html" charset="utf-8" />

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
        @*<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">*@

             Agregar Material

Agregar Material

                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
                    ×
                </button>

                    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
                    Tener en cuenta!  para agregar más de una unidad habilite agregar cantidad.

                <form id="myForm">
                    Producto
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="searchTerm" id="txtSearch" />

                    Agregar Cantidad

                <input type="button" value="Agregar Material" class="btn btn-primary" id="btnSubmit" />
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Cerrar</button>

As you can see ... my Json method returns the suggestions entered from the modal

But for some reason it does not show the suggestions within the input indicated in the modal, what is happening? What am I forgetting to do? any help for me?

A: You could use apendTo options like below:
Change your Html:
<form id="myForm">
    Producto
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="searchTerm" id="txtSearch" />
        @*add this div*@

    Agregar Cantidad
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="cantidad" id="idcantidad" />
</form>

Change your jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $("#txtSearch").autocomplete({
        source: '@Url.Action("BuscarProducto")'
    });
    $("#txtSearch").autocomplete("option", "appendTo", "#Searchdata");

});

EU Workers' Qualifications Will Be Recognised After EU Exit
April 5, 2019 April 5, 2019 Care, News, Social Care
EU or Swiss qualified persons entering the UK after exit may have their qualifications recognised, whether we leave the EU with or without a deal.
Legislation introduced on 7 March 2019 means health and social care workers with professional qualifications from EU and Swiss institutions who are currently registered can continue to practise in the UK as they do now, guaranteeing their ability to work in the NHS.
This means up to 63,000 NHS staff and 104,000 social care workers who qualified in the EU or Switzerland can have their training and experience accepted by all regulatory bodies for the health and social care sectors, including:
•	General Medical Council
•	Nursing and Midwifery Council
•	General Pharmaceutical Council
•	General Dental Council
•	Health and Care Professions Council
Employment contracts will not need to be changed if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, and staff won't have to reapply for their current positions after exit day.
The government is also encouraging EU workers to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.
The scheme fully opened on 30 March and you can now apply for free. Those who have lived in the UK for 5 years or longer can apply for 'settled status'. Those who have lived in the UK for under 5 years can apply for 'pre-settled status'.
For any professional registration queries, please contact the relevant professional regulator.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said:
Every day across the health and social care system, our EU colleagues and friends make a difference to millions of lives, and this vital legislation means they will be able to continue work here, whatever the Brexit outcome.
My message to EU staff is clear – we all want you to feel valued and stay in the UK. Today's announcement builds on our NHS Long Term Plan's commitment to recruit and retain a world-class workforce over the long term.
My priority is to make sure high standards are maintained across the healthcare system and patients continue to receive the high-quality care they deserve – this legislation helps ensure that will continue to be the case.
Danny Mortimer, Chief Executive of NHS Employers and Chair of the Cavendish Coalition, said:
We have been clear that we must continue to embrace the vital contribution of our talented colleagues from overseas in caring for our patients and communities.
We very much welcome the news, as will employers and staff, that the UK will recognise the qualifications of EU professionals in a no-deal situation.
We would hope for similar confirmation of recognition for those with UK qualifications working in the EU.
Ruth May, Chief Nursing Officer for England, said:
Our EU staff make an incredible contribution to the NHS, touching the lives of patients and families as doctors, nurses, midwives, care staff, allied health professionals, porters and a whole host of other professions.
I therefore welcome this news and hope that it goes some way to reassure EU staff that your expertise and skills are valued and that you matter to us.

Reslice diffusion datasets
==========================

Overview
--------
Often in imaging it is common to reslice images in different resolutions.
Especially in dMRI we usually want images with isotropic voxel size as they
facilitate most tractography algorithms. In this example we show how you
can reslice a dMRI dataset to have isotropic voxel size.

The function we need to use is called resample.

Deano, this is a very common situation, especially with young people and first-time buyers. Even in a world in which information is at their fingertips, they still need someone they know and trust to help them make big decisions.
We've all heard about the helicopter parents who overprotect, oversee, and involve themselves in every aspect of their children's lives. Since they were not allowed to make, enjoy, or suffer the consequences of their decisions as children, this new generation has a real problem growing up and making decisions.
While tempting, telling these young people to "grow up" is probably a bad idea. My advice when they say they need to consult with their parents is to quickly hit the speaker button on your office phone and ask for the number. Otherwise, you won't get a chance to be part of the conversation when they call them on their cell phone.
However, if they indicate that mom or dad told them they don't need "any of that stuff," it's going to be an uphill battle trying to sell their parent(s) over the phone. You're better off helping the customer see the possible consequences of not having the protection. My advice is to remind them that not having this protection could cost them thousands of dollars, or force them to ask their parents for financial help. However, be absolutely sure they need the product, because they're going to have to explain their decision to mom and dad.
F&I manager: Justin, I completely understand. It sounds to me like several of these options make sense to you, even though your parents already said you didn't need any of them. They just don't want you to spend money on something you don't need, and you don't want to either, correct?
F&I manager: That's why these are all options. And I agree with you, based on your financial situation, some of them are important and some are not. However, this is your car. The loan is in your name. And you're the only person responsible for the payments. As an adult, we both know how important a good credit rating is to your future. So it's absolutely essential that nothing interferes with your ability to make these payments on time. That's why, in your case, this protection is absolutely critical.
In fact, the lender feels the protection is so important, it's willing to advance the funds to allow you to obtain the coverage. That's because the last thing you need to worry about is how you're going to pay for an unexpected expense. The fact is, you're the only one responsible for making these payments. So you have to make the best financial decision for you, right?
A positive response means it's time to go for the close. Deano, thanks for your question. You can watch my video response to Deano's question and check out the Volunteer Navy on my So Here's the Deal blog at www.fi-magazine.com. And don't forget to submit your own video for a chance to get your question answered and a free YETI. Until next month, remember, it's a beautiful day to join the Navy.

When I was asked to be on the hospital board of trustees, the decision was an easy one. As a local business owner and resident of Watertown, I am very passionate about the community along with its social, economic and physical health. I consider the success of Watertown Regional Medical Center (WRMC) vital to the health of our community. If the city's largest employer and healthcare provider is succeeding in meeting its goals of quality service and growth, then the overall community will benefit similarly.
Because our community is located between the two largest metropolitan areas in the state, there are plenty of options for healthcare. I choose WRMC because I trust the people who work there. There is a sense of pride and a true commitment to patients unlike any other I have seen. Having lived in other communities prior to Watertown and experiencing both small and large healthcare systems, I am convinced that community hospitals are the best option for most services. It's the little things that make a difference, like a friendly welcome and warm socks at the exact time you need them.
I am most proud to be part of WRMC's board of trustees because of their demonstrated vision to ensure long-term sustainability in our community. The partnership between LifePoint Health and Watertown Regional Medical Center began two years ago. Since the inception of this partnership, WRMC has been given tools and resources clinically, operationally and financially to position them well into the future. These resources have allowed them to recruit new providers and expand primary and specialty services to our community needs. Highlights include the addition of a Retina Specialist, Pulmonologists, Gastroenterologist and Hospitalists.
I am proud to serve as a voice for local healthcare and look forward to keeping your healthcare close to home for generations to come.

Home Articles Protection Orders Many Survivors Fearful to File Restraining Orders
Many Survivors Fearful to File Restraining Orders
Debate continues as to whether or not they're too easy, or too difficult, to obtain
"It's just a piece of paper."
Many survivors of domestic violence are still under the impression that an order of protection, or restraining order, carries no more weight than the paper it's printed on. In other words, they're doubtful of a restraining order's ability to protect them.
In a 2000 study, the National Institute of Justice found that approximately half of the restraining orders obtained by women against intimate partners who physically assaulted them were violated, which means the other half of the orders did, to some extent, help to keep a batterer at bay.
Still, studies show that survivors will endure multiple years of abuse before obtaining a restraining order, a fact that disheartens Silvia Samsa, who's been advocating for domestic violence survivors for more than 30 years and counting. As the executive director of Women's Habitat, a domestic violence shelter and outreach center in Etobicoke, Ontario Canada. "They're absolutely important. Some people think it's only a piece of paper, but it's clearly saying what [the perpetrator] has done is against the law and you cannot assume you have complete access to this person you've been abusive to," Samsa says.
However, she fears the majority of abuse survivors in Canada choose not to get a restraining order for several reasons. "A lot of women are fearful of having the police involved. They're worried their partner will go to jail, and if he goes to jail then he's not working." And, adds Samsa, many women still have no idea a restraining order is even an option.
"Wouldn't it be lovely if restraining orders were done automatically when police are called? Lots of times, the criteria to get a restraining order is quite high," says Samsa. In essence, a survivor in Canada needs to prove to the courts that she needs one. Survivors of non-physical types of abuse, like verbal or mental abuse, or stalking, are often met with skepticism, she says.
In the United States, restraining orders have long faced debate—domestic violence advocates say they're a necessary tool to help protect survivors from continued abuse, while opponents argue they're too easy to obtain and are often used as a litigation strategy or a form of retaliation.
Yet, with an average of three deaths occurring every day in the U.S. as a result of domestic violence, and a woman being beaten every three seconds by an intimate partner (the majority of victims are women, but one in four U.S. men will also experience intimate partner violence in their lifetimes) many believe offering restraining orders without complication is key to saving lives.
"I think the whole issue of abuse is not an easy one to deal with, it's very complex," says Samsa. "Instead of asking, 'Why doesn't she leave? Why doesn't she get a restraining order?' why are we not asking, 'Why is he abusive?'"

Can you believe it is already December? Some upcoming plans for the month include: baking apple swirl bread, constructing homemade snow-globes, creating mod-podge leaf jars and more.
If you're wondering why the photo above shows an ear of corn ask one of our 2 / 3 friends about the "Hopping Corn" experiment we did! In November, the Green Team did many experiments using ears of flint corn and kernels of corn. We also were able to enjoy some popcorn before the Thanksgiving break.
Our group also got to see a presentation from a veteran for Veteran's Day, who explained to us what a naval ship looks like, and what it is like to be in the Navy. We extend a big THANK YOU to Ji-wan's dad Commander Mack for coming in to talk to us!
Some of the history highlights included learning about the first ever Mickey Mouse animation to include sound, learning about the original Boston Garden, and discovering what a phonograph was and how Thomas Edison considered it to be his favorite invention!
DO YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA GLASS JARS? WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANY SIZE GLASS JARS (Like a VOSS WATER jar) TO HELP COMPLETE SOME UPCOMING PROJECTS, FEEL FREE TO SEND THEM ALONG WITH YOUR CHILDREN! THEY CAN DROP THEM OFF IN OUR HEDP ROOM AT ANY TIME DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.
Reminder: Please remember to encourage your children to wear a jacket and warm clothes as we will continue to go outside most days. We ask that all of our 2 / 3 friends wear their jackets while outside but you can always email permission, or give verbal permission for your child to wear a jacket as they see fit.
