Sign Our Petition to Designate American Jihadi Cult
By Ryan Mauro0 CommentsAmerican Values, Politics, & Foreign PolicyAmerican Politics, Domestic Terror, Extremism, Jammat ul-Fuqra, Pakistan|US
A new petition has been launched by Clarion Project and Martin Mawyer of Christian Action Network that calls on the Trump Administration to review the Jamaat ul-Fuqra jihadi cult for possible designation as a foreign terrorist organization or international criminal network. Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which is led by a radical cleric in Pakistan but operates in North America under the name of Muslims of America (MOA), is known for claiming to have 22 "Islamic villages" in the U.S., such as its Islamberg headquarters. It also has headquarters in Canada, Trinidad, Venezuela, Pakistan and other countries. The petition already has almost 13,000…

Kadaga suffering from fatigue related illness – parliament
The independent March 22, 2019 NEWS Leave a comment
FILE PHOTO: Rebecca Kadaga
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The office of the Speaker of Parliament has confirmed that the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga is being managed at Nakasero Hospital due to fatigue-related illness.
According to a press statement issued by Kadaga's Press Secretary, Sam Obbo, the Speaker became ill after her return from a working tour to Morocco and United States of America (USA). "…Due to the hectic work schedule, fatigue and jetlag she has had to be admitted in the hospital," reads the statement.
Media reports this morning indicated that Kadaga had been rushed to Nakasero Hospital unconscious and that she was being monitored in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). President Yoweri Museveni earlier visited the hospital to check on Speaker Kadaga's situation.
Kadaga was in New York for the 63rd UN Commission on the Status of Women which is ending today. Prior to the meeting, she had attended the 14th session of the Parliamentary Union of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Conference (PUOIC) in Rabat, Morocco.

and the sun is resting.
In the distant sky, shining stars are visible.
Imagining our own sky, and flying freely.
Sing with me, while sitting on the curved moon.
In the starry night, I still cannot reach your face.
Snowflakes and red plum blossoms floating, in the air.
Your concern always makes me feel touched.
Thinking of your warmth, my mood becomes as red as a flower.
In fact, I am also afraid of the bitter snow's prickling pain.
Snowflakes and red plum blossoms floating, the night is icy cold.
With candles alit, I have a beautiful dream.
The North wind blows, tears slowly falling.

Agnieszka Rygula is a Fine Art Photographer, born in Poland and currently living in Germany. She started photography 2 years back at the first birthday of her second child. She loves to capture her photographs looks like a painting.
Hey, my Name is Agnieszka Rygula but you can call me Agi 🙂 and I was born in Poland. Currently, I am living in Germany with my family. I am a Mother of two kids. My daughter is 7 years old and my son is 3 years old now. I have an education as a Nurse. People say I am a happy and open person and I love to laugh.
I remember as I was a little kid I loved beautiful pictures in my storybooks.
When I saw a nice oil landscape picture I could watch it for hours. I love pictures that stimulate my imagination. Pictures what telling a story. Till today, I am very fascinated by photos that look like a painting.
When I was 13 years young girl when the Analog Camera of my Parents did not work properly and they bought a new one. I was so happy became the old defect Camera 🙂 But it wasn't defected. I photographed me, my friends and family. I didn't care how I photographed but I remember that half of my pocket money for the development went on it.
My real photography journey was in the summer of 2016 at the first birthday of my second child. It was like a click moment. Those days I stand home by my kids I thought often what I really want to do. To work as a Nurse is fine but that was always not my passion. I realized that everything I always loved to do was always by my side. I`ve never gone out without my Camera. So I wanted to know and understand everything and I began to learn very hard at nights where my Kids slept. Some people are surprised at how fast I have developed in this short time. After a short time, I got inquiries for photo shootings so I was able to afford my first professional equipment.
My style is Fine Art Photography because I always edit my photos like the painting look who makes the picture sometimes magical. I handle everything so easy like possible during a photoshoot but during an edit is everything possible.
Your photos of kids are very inspiring and the lighting & color tones are not top notch. Few words about your processing style?
The first Steps I began with Lightroom and I will look for good composition and light. Which emotions and where I see a good story in one picture. Sometimes I will also put 2 pictures together. A few little steps I edit in LR then I go to Photoshop where i colored the picture, give more contrast, light beams and sharpen at the End.
You have captured some amazing portraits. What is the secret behind taking a good portrait?
Oh, thank you so much 🙂 I think the first secret is the light. Mostly i photograph in the golden hour where the light is very soft. When I photograph a model the preparation is very important. I exchange a lot with the model in advance and together we choose the style for the clothes, hair, and makeup. Then I tell what I expect from her. Which story and which feelings I wish. Photoshooting is very funny with me and the atmosphere is always relaxed.
Mostly Iwona Podlasinska and Elena Shumilova. Elena's photos are wonderful and I love her storytelling. Like a Movie scene. Iwona Style is so dreamy and touches my heart every time. She is the master of light for me. I met Iwona last year in October where I organized her Workshop with the Steamtrain. One of the fantastic days of my life. This year we are doing again in December and I´m very happy to have Iwona by my side. She is a wonderful person and teacher for me.
Hmmmmmm….I love reading books and some few books I read about photography but I didn`t remember and the mostly I watch Youtube videos. There I can search exactly what I need. At the beginning Phlearn and K1Production also a great Help.
Usually, when i show the final photos to my clients, they cry with happiness. That's the moment I`m very thankful. Another one is when I get Email from people around the world who writes me they loved my photos and wished to be one day a good photographer like me. That's so incredible for me. Never thought someone could say this someday to me. Only 2 Years before I looked of others photos and was thinking the same :). This is a kind moment where I realized what happened only in this 2 years in my photographic journey.
My garden is my hobby. It teaches me to be patient. We grow our own fruits, herbs, and vegetables as well as possible. I am interested in natural medicine and I eat Vegan for 6 Years. This became a hobby in my Kitchen too. To be kind to me and for the World it is very important. I love animals and mother earth. That's why I always love to photograph outdoor. Nature is awesome and Humans should be more careful with her.

The winner of two national book awards, including a Gold Medal in the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Awards, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State paints a chilling portrait of a nation in the final stages of transformation into a police state, complete with surveillance cameras, drug-sniffing dogs, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, blood draws at DUI checkpoints, mosquito drones, Tasers, privatized prisons, GPS tracking devices, zero tolerance policies, overcriminalization, and free speech zones.
Whether you're talking about the militarized police response to riots in Ferguson, Missouri, the city-wide lockdown of Boston in the wake of the alleged Boston Marathon bombing, Edward Snowden's revelations about the NSA's insidious domestic surveillance campaigns, or laws criminalizing everything from growing vegetables in your backyard, A Government of Wolves speaks to this strange new world in which police shoot first and ask questions later and Americans are treated like criminals and outlaws.
A widely-respected constitutional attorney and author, Whitehead charts America's transition from a democratic society governed by "we the people" to an environment where the adherence to the law becomes another tool of oppression. Hailed by those on the left and right of the political spectrum and at every point in between, for its masterful chronicling of America's shift away from the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, which historically shielded us from government abuses, A Government of Wolves reveals the inner workings of an increasingly pervasive and militaristic surveillance state in which there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide from the government's all-knowing, all-seeing eyes.
As American historian and nationally-syndicated columnist Nat Hentoff notes in his special introduction to A Government of Wolves: "We have been through some troubling times before in our nation's history. What we have now may be more insidious. Indeed, I believe we are in a worse state now than ever before in this country. With the surveillance state closing in on us, we are fighting to keep our country free from our own government."
Making the case that fiction has now become fact, A Government of Wolves also shows how sci fi movies such as Minority Report, 1984, The Matrix, They Live, and V for Vendetta have pointed the way towards America becoming a futuristic society in which a passive, uninformed populace gives rise to an overbearing, out-of-control government. This is the future George Orwell warned against. This is the present that Whitehead cautions could become an endless nightmare from which there is no awakening unless we act now.
"It is a mistake to think that early in a fascist shift you see the profile of barbed wire against the sky. In the early days, things look normal on the surface:"
"[T]here is both an intrinsic and instrumental value to privacy. Intrinsically, privacy is precious to the extent that it is a component of a liberty. Part of citizenship in a free society is the expectation that one's personal affairs and physical person are inviolable so long as one remains within the law. A robust concept of freedom includes the freedom from constant and intrusive government surveillance of one's life. From this perspective, Fourth Amendment violations are objectionable for the simple fact that the government is doing something it has no licence to do–that is, invading the privacy of a law-abiding citizen by monitoring her daily activities and laying hands on her person without any evidence of wrongdoing.
Privacy is also instrumental in nature. This aspect of the right highlights the pernicious effects, rather than the inherent illegitimacy, of intrusive, suspicionless surveillance. For example, encroachments on individual privacy undermine democratic institutions by chilling free speech. When citizens–especially those espousing unpopular viewpoints–are aware that the intimate details of their personal lives are pervasively monitored by government, or even that they could be singled out for discriminatory treatment by government officials as a result of their First Amendment expressive activities, they are less likely to freely express their dissident views."
"[W]hile the use of non-lethal weapons such as tasers and LEDIs may not necessarily reduce the number of civilian casualties, they have been largely accepted as the humane alternative to deadly force because they make the use of force appear far less dramatic and violent than it has in the past.
Contrast, for instance, the image of police officers beating Rodney King with billy clubs as opposed to police officers continually shocking a person with a taser. Both are severe forms of abuse. However, because the act of pushing a button is far less dramatic and visually arresting than swinging a billy club, it can come across as much more humane to the general public. This, of course, draws much less media coverage and, thus, less bad public relations for the police."
Goodreads reviews for A Government of Wolves
John W. Whitehead is an attorney and author who has written, debated and practiced widely in the area of constitutional law and human rights. Whitehead's concern for the persecuted and oppressed led him, in 1982, to establish The Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties and human rights organization whose international headquarters are located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Deeply committed to protecting the constitutional freedoms of every American and the integral human rights of all people, The Rutherford Institute has emerged as a prominent leader in the national dialogue on civil liberties and human rights and a formidable champion of the Constitution. Whitehead serves as the Institute's president and spokesperson.
Widely recognized as one of the nation's most vocal and involved civil liberties attorneys, Whitehead's approach to civil liberties issues has earned him numerous accolades and accomplishments, including the Hungarian Medal of Freedom and the 2010 Milner S. Ball Lifetime Achievement Award for "[his] decades of difficult and important work, as well as [his] impeccable integrity in defending civil liberties for all."
As nationally syndicated columnist Nat Hentoff observed about Whitehead: "John Whitehead is not only one of the nation's most consistent and persistent civil libertarians. He is also a remarkably perceptive illustrator of our popular culture, its insights and dangers. I often believe that John Whitehead is channeling the principles of James Madison, who would be very proud of him."
Born in 1946 in Tennessee, John W. Whitehead earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arkansas in 1969 and a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1974. He served as an officer in the United States Army from 1969 to 1971. He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Mr. Gilroy runs the marketing division for a manufacturing company which makes hand tools — lots of hand tools. Tools for carpenters. Tools for plumbers. Tools for mechanics. Tools for shadetree tinkerers.
Mr. Gilroy's problem was that he had to sell all those tools to the right people. The tools for mechanics had to be advertised mainly to auto shops — but also to top-quality hardware stores. The carpenters had to be reached through distributors they dealt with . . . and the distributors wanted cooperative advertising programs. Still other tools were sold to a major department store chain under another name. Mr. Gilroy had to apportion some money for that sales effort too.
To solve those problems, Mr. Gilroy turned to another kind of tool — a business person's tool. The VisiCalc program had caught Mr. Gilroy's eye at the local Radio Shack dealer, running on a TRS-80 Model III (it also runs on the TRS-80 Models I and II). He had invested in the program and used it extensively to ADD UP budgets and handle sales projections. Now he turned to his TRS-80 and the VisiCalc program to BREAK DOWN his budget into its constituent parts and reform the figures into the information he needed.

Cardiomyopathy describes any disorder that affects the heart muscle, causing the heart to lose its ability to pump blood effectively. In some instances, the heart rhythm also becomes disturbed and leads to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). There may be multiple causes of cardiomyopathy, including viral infections and certain medications. Often, the exact cause of the muscle disease is never found.
Cardiomyopathy can occur in the young.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a leading cause for heart transplantation.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs when the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart becomes thicker than normal, obstructing blood flow to the rest of the body. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can affect the heart's mitral valve, causing blood to leak backward through the valve.
Symptoms include shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, fainting, and angina pectoris.
Some people have cardiac arrhythmias, which may lead to sudden death.
This occurs most often in adults ages 20 to 60 and more often in men than women, but has been diagnosed in people of all ages, including children.
Dilated cardiomyopathy can be caused by chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol and nutritional deficiencies associated with alcoholism.
It occasionally occurs as a complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
Other possible causes include: various infections (mostly viral, which lead to inflammation of the heart muscle, called myocarditis), illicit drugs, and (rarely) heredity. Sometimes medications used to treat a different medical condition can damage the heart and produce dilated cardiomyopathy. However, in most cases, a specific cause for the damage is never identified.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs when the heart muscle becomes excessively rigid and unable to fill with blood properly. It's the least common type of cardiomyopathy in the U.S.
It often occurs due to an underlying disorder, such as amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, scleroderma, or sarcoidosis.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy does not appear to be inherited, but some of the diseases that lead to the condition are genetically transmitted.
Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling of the extremities, and difficulty breathing on exertion.

Petitioners Aim To Keep Citgo Sign Perched High Above Boston
July 11, 20167:17 AM ET
Decades ago, Citgo Petroleum put a giant sign atop a building. Marathoners see it near the finish line. The building is being sold, and a commission will consider whether the sign is a landmark.
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with an eyesore that's now a landmark. Surely, some people complained decades ago when Citgo Petroleum put a giant sign atop a Boston building. But now that the building is up for sale, people want to save it. You see the sign when the camera tracks home runs at Fenway Park. Marathon runners see it near the finish line. Drivers use it to navigate. And so this week, the Boston Landmarks Commission decides if this giant advertisement deserves historic preservation. It's MORNING EDITION.

Ping request could not find host 255.255.255.255. Please check the name and try again.

If I try a C++ program using the iphlpapi, IcmpSendEcho() fails and GetLastError returns 11010 IP_REQ_TIMED_OUT.

I can ping the local broadcast 192.168.0.255 with no problem.
What do I need to do to ping the global broadcast?
Thanks,
PaulH

A: This doesn't work in Windows as I know. In Linux OS you can ping 255.255.255.255, but routing protocol will not relay 255.255.255.255 broadcasts outside of the local network.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you ready that every computer on the connected earth will respond? I'm scared...

By the way, you should be ready that no one will respond to the broadcast ping even in the local network. This question on SF could be useful.

A: Broadcast UDP has been obsolete for about 20 years. It is most unlikely to get through a router to another subnet.

Kategorie bytu byl v socialistickém Československu a následně v České republice údaj charakterizující kvalitu a stupeň vybavenosti bytu ústředním topením a základním příslušenstvím (koupelnou a záchodem). Obvykle se uváděl ve spojení s počtem obytných místností a kuchyní, např. "byt 3+1 I. kategorie". V souvislosti s deregulací nájemného tato kategorizace v letech 2000–2010 postupně zanikla.

Historie kategorizace
V roce 1964 byla vyhláškou č. 60/1964 Sb. zrušena řada starších vyhlášek, vydaných v Úředním listu, například vyhláška č. 224/1946 Ú. l., o určení úplaty za užívání bytů a jiných místností v domech konfiskovaných podle dekretu č. 108/1945 Sb. v pohraničí, vyhláška č. 424/1948 Ú. l., o úplatě za používání osobního výtahu, vyhláška č. 411/1950 Ú. l., o úpravě nájemného z bytů a jiných místností dokončených po 5. květnu 1945, a obecně všechny předpisy vydané před 5. květnem 1945, pokud upravují určování úhrady za byty přenechané do užívání občanům a za služby spojené s užíváním těchto bytů. Není vyloučeno, že některý z těchto předpisů obsahoval nějakou kategorizaci bytů.

Jednotnou kategorizaci zavedla vyhláška Ústřední správy pro rozvoj místního hospodářství č. 60/1964 Sb., o úhradě za užívání bytu a za služby spojené s užíváním bytu, v § 4:
 I. kategorie – byty s ústředním (dálkovým) vytápěním a s úplným nebo částečným základním příslušenstvím,
 II. kategorie – byty bez ústředního (dálkového) vytápění a s úplným základním příslušenstvím, a byty se společným základním příslušenstvím, jsou-li ústředně (dálkově) vytápěny
 III. kategorie – byty bez ústředního (dálkového) vytápění a s částečným základním příslušenstvím v bytě pod uzavřením,
 IV. kategorie – byty bez ústředního (dálkového) vytápění a bez základního příslušenství nebo se společným základním příslušenstvím
Základní příslušenství bytu I. a II. kategorie se považovalo za jeho součást, bylo-li přímo v bytě pod uzavřením anebo i mimo byt, avšak ve stejném podlaží a užíval je výhradně jen nájemce.

Rozdělení bytů do kategorií do čtyř kategorií podle rozsahu základního příslušenství a způsobu vytápění pro určení maximální výše nájemného stanovila poté vyhláška ministerstva financí č. 176/1993 Sb., o nájemném z bytu a úhradě za plnění poskytovaná s užíváním bytu, a to v § 4:
 I. kategorie: všechny obytné místnosti přímo vytápěny ústředním vytápěním, byt má základní příslušenství
 II. kategorie:
 a) bez ústředního vytápění a se základním příslušenstvím,
 b) s ústředním vytápěním a s částečným nebo společným základním příslušenstvím,
 III. kategorie:
 a) bez ústředního vytápění a s částečným základním příslušenstvím,
 b) s ústředním vytápěním a bez základního příslušenství.
 IV. kategorie: bez ústředního vytápění a bez základního příslušenství nebo se společným základním příslušenstvím

Maximální základní měsíční nájemné za 1 m² podlahové plochy bytu podle § 5 vyhlášky 176/1993 Sb. činilo v bytě
 I. kategorie 6 Kč
 II. kategorie 4,50 Kč
 III. kategorie 3,50 Kč
 IV. kategorie 2,50 Kč.

Pro "nižší kvalitu bytu", odstupňovanou různými dalšími parametry (např. elektrifikace, plynofikace, výtah, suterénní a vlhké byty), a podle umístění v části obce, chráněném území aj. pak byla stanovena možnost úpravy základního nájemného v procentech dolů i nahoru.

Vyhláška č. 176/1993 Sb. byla zrušena nálezem ústavního soudu č. 231/2000 Sb. na návrh skupiny senátorů, protože zákonem č. 135/1994 Sb. zaniklo zákonné zmocnění, na jehož základě byla vydána.

Zařazení bytu do kategorií I–IV bylo v České republice sledováno ještě při sčítání lidu v roce 2001. V roce 2001 bylo v České republice nasčítáno 3 827 678 bytů. Podíl bytů I. kategorie mezi lety 1991 a 2001 stoupl z 69,9 na 88,5 %. Do II. kategorie v roce 2001 spadalo 10,5 % bytů, do III. kategorie 2,8 % bytů, podíl bytů IV. kategorie mezi lety 1991 a 2001 klesl ze 4,9 na 1,3 %. Byty III. a IV. kategorie byly převážně v rodinných domech (kde do těchto kategorií spadalo zhruba 6 % bytů), zatímco v bytových domech jen kolem 1 % bytů.

Podle tradované informace tato kategorizace bytů údajně zanikla účinností zákona č. 107/2006 Sb., o jednostranném zvyšování nájemného z bytu a o změně občanského zákoníku, ač tento zákon neobsahuje žádná zrušovací ustanovení.

S dočasnou účinností od 31. března 2006 do 31. prosince 2010 zákon č. 107/2006 Sb. používá pojem "byt se sníženou kvalitou", což podle § 2 písm. e) byl byt bez ústředního vytápění a s částečným nebo společným základním příslušenstvím, nebo byt bez ústředního vytápění a bez základního příslušenství, nebo byt s ústředním vytápěním bez základního příslušenství. Základním příslušenstvím se přitom rozuměly koupelna nebo koupelnový, popřípadě sprchový kout a splachovací záchod. Toto základní příslušenství se považovalo za součást bytu, i když bylo v domě mimo byt, pokud jej užíval jen nájemce bytu. To odpovídalo zákonné definici "příslušeství bytu", která byla od roku 1964  uvedena v tehdy platném a účinném občaském zákoníku. Podle ustanovení § 121 odst. 2 zákona č. 40/1964 Sb., občanský zákoník, platilo totiž, že "[p]říslušenstvím bytu jsou vedlejší místnosti a prostory určené k tomu, aby byly s bytem užívány". Ústředním vytápěním se rozumělo vytápění zdrojem tepla, který je umístěn mimo byt, nebo který je umístěn v místnosti k tomu určené, včetně sklepa v rodinném domě s jedním bytem, nebo jiné elektrické nebo plynové vytápění.

I'm relatively new to this site and would greatly appreciate any information you can give. I admit, I'm a novice when it comes to auto repair. However, I'm an eager do it yourselfer not afraid to get his hands dirty.
I was told that because bank 1 and 2 codes set together, that it was likely a faulty MAF sensor.
Again, any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Those two codes together usually mean the MAF is dirty/ faulty or there is a significant vacuum leak which could be from a leaky intake or a broken vacuum line. There are other causes but those are the most common. I'd start by cleaning the MAF.
Thanks kozal01...I will start there and see how it goes.
Cleaned the MAF and no luck...still running rough. I did notice that in the morning when its cold, the engine runs better, after a few minutes when it warms up is when the rough idle starts. Not sure if that is helpful in anyway, just thought I would mention it. How do I go about checking for a leaky intake? Someone also mentioned a failed oxygen sensor...any possibility with that being the culprit? Also, I did fill up my gas tank just prior to this starting...how about a simple case of bad gas?
I believe you can use a can of intake cleaner, or something like that, and spray around the engine area and listen to the engine idle speed. The engine speed will change if you spray near the leaking hose/fitting area. Don't use ether, since you cause more problems than you already have. Also, don't spray half a can in one spot! You need to move the spray pattern area around to locate the leak. Good luck.
Glad I found this one I'm having the same issue. I've done a few upgrades. Wondering if that has anything to do with it. I was told the same thing that could cause it.

March 17, 2004: National Indoor Comfort Week Set For April 18-24
Greg Mazurkiewicz
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has announced that the week of April 18-24, 2004 will be the first annual "National Indoor Comfort Week." Immediately following the 2004 ACCA Conference & Indoor Air Expo, a resolution officially designating that week was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Don Manzullo (R-Ill.), chairman of the House Small Business Committee.
The resolution reads as follows:
"Whereas indoor environmental systems have saved millions of lives and improved the health of our citizens;
"Whereas, because of environmental systems, food is preserved, modern medicine is possible, and our children breathe easier;
"Whereas the men and women who design, manufacture, install, and maintain heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems play a crucial role in our economy;
"Whereas professional certified technicians save our nation millions of dollars each year through the design and installation of more efficient equipment that provides essential comfort while reducing energy usage; and
"Whereas the Air Conditioning Contractors of America have proposed designating April 18 through 24, 2004, as National Indoor Comfort Week: Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the House of Representatives:
(1) recognizes the contributions that environmental systems have made to our quality of life, including through reducing energy use;
(2) recognizes the technicians who install and maintain environmental systems and thanks them for the application of their knowledge to increasing energy efficiency; and
(3) supports the goals and ideals of National Indoor Comfort Week as proposed by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America."
Paul T. Stalknecht, president and CEO of ACCA, stated "We salute Rep. Manzullo and the U.S. Congress for recognizing the importance of our industry, and urge everyone in the HVACR community to use National Indoor Comfort Week as a tool to showcase the depth of our industry's impact on American life."
National Indoor Comfort Week logos can be downloaded for use in print and online materials from the association's Web site at www.acca.org.
"This is an exciting opportunity for contractors across the country to show off how proud we are of our industry, and our employees," Stalknecht said, "while reminding everyone of how important we are to the modern world."

Workstation Assessments are a part of the Display Screen Equipment (DSE) Regulations. This applies whenever you are using a computer, be that a POISE terminal, a laptop or any other computer screen when you are using that screen for an average of at least one hour per day – this covers most, if not all, of us at work.
The reason workstation assessments exist is to assess how we use our computers at work. To ensure that we have the right equipment, such as suitable chairs, so that we work in a comfortable position; and to identify any adjustments we might need from computer peripherals to adapted software. The aim of these assessments it to make sure that we don't cause any avoidable injury to ourselves as a result of using computers at work.
You may remember from previous membership communications that the ISU have been heavily involved in representing members injured in this way, both within the workplace and where necessary at law. However it is equally, if not more important, to prevent those injuries if we can!
Completing a workstation self-assessment takes about 5 minutes and you can complete it from any POISE terminal. You can find the form on Horizon (just search for Workstation Assessment) and it asked a series of questions with a yes/no answer. You don't need any training or particular knowledge to complete it – this is just about you and about how you use the IT.
The form is designed for those with a permanent workstation, which of course is not the case for many staff in Operational Arm. If you hot desk then fill in the form using the worst case scenario i.e. if you have one particular desk without a height adjustable chair then reference that desk when filling in the form. Once completed the form is automatically sent to your line manager who will be notified if you need an appointment with a formal workstation assessor.
So what do you get out of completing it?
This is about making sure that you are able to use your workstation – or workstations – without adversely affecting your health in any avoidable way; for example through fatigue, eye strain or physical strain sometimes called a "work related upper limb disorder" (WRULD; previously RSI). The workstation assessment highlights any risks and/or deficiencies with the equipment, environment or relevant training. This can then be corrected via an action plan which will either eliminate or reduce those risks.
Remember – completing a workstation assessment helps to keep you safe and avoid injury. Or at the very least provides a solid legal standpoint should an injury occur as a result of an identified deficiency which has not been addressed.

← DaddyTeller Now On Kindle!
With the upcoming release of the "Snow White and the Huntsman", movie, the issue of violence in fairytales comes up again. Are fairy-tales too violent for children?
In short, fairytales are not too violent for children when properly told to them in an emotionally safe environment by a trusted source who has the mental welfare of the child in mind. Snuggled in with Daddy telling stories is a great place to be safe. I'll come back to that in a moment.
The deeper answer really comes in asking the right question. The correct question is: "Are fairytales in some movies too violent for children?" That answer is simple: Yes, movies that create violent images based on fairytales are too violent for young children.
It is often suggested to me that there is no difference between hearing a violent fairytale from a storyteller and seeing a violent movie made from the same fairytale. That's simply wrong.
We need to remember that children do not hear and see traditional fairytales told by a storyteller (parent or professional) in the same way they see and hear a movie playing before them. In mentally processing fairytales, children only process the amount of violence their minds want to handle. A child hearing that the huntsman sets out to kill Snow White sees in their mind only what they want to see. For a small child, the permanence of death is unknown and unknowable. Nestled within the safety of the storytelling experience, they may know something "bad" could happen but they also know that they are safe. This safety along with their brief life experience creates the filter for children to understand the story at a level their minds find acceptable. They see what their minds want them to see.
The problem with fairytales and violence comes from children watching another person's vision of that violence. Big-screen movie violence leaves no safety zone for the child to process the story. In a movie, the huntsman goes out to kill Snow White in non-filtered images and sounds of the violent looks and shouts, the sharp knife and a physical altercation.
A movie, for small children, is also an overwhelming experience of sight and sound, permanently preserved in its final form. In the movie theater, there is no place for the young child to escape the images and noise. Their fear-filter is overrun and no longer in control.
Conversely, a storyteller changes his or her story based on how the audience is reacting. For example, if I am telling a "scary" fairytale to a group of children, I will be watching my audience respond. If I see, from the children's reactions, that some portion of the story is causing stress or fear, I will change the way I am telling the story. I will adjust the words, the pacing, the emotional non-verbal cues as I go along. True storytelling is created with the audience as it happens so it is never the same experience from audience to audience.
The role of violence in fairytales, when told to children, is to help them process fear. While we'd like our children to never be afraid or to experience violence, this is simply not a reality. With each hearing of some violence in a fairytale, the child's unconscious controls the response as "I have had this fear before. I am safe here in this moment. I can survive this." Each time, the child learns a bit more about how to grow up and how to deal with complex emotions.
Learning to conquer fear and to take actions is a human need. Without this overcoming, we would still be hiding in stone-age caves or extinct. When the storytelling audience is a bit older, perhaps in the early teenage or preteen years, they will usually ask for scary stories. Being scared, asking to be frightened, demonstrates their own growing mastery of fear. As well, this age group also enjoys the "justice," no matter how warped that justice is to modern minds, that usually is delivered to evildoers in the fairytale.
Now, I am not advocating a free-wheeling give-young-children-all-the-fairytale-violence-you-want approach. As a caregiver, teacher or parent, you must judge the readiness level of the children in your care. While I believe that the scary portions of fairytales can actually be beneficial to growing children, there is a time and place for each child to embrace these stories. Use wisdom and caution in this process.
Fairytales help a child to learn the life-lesson, "I can get through this." In many cases, the message is "We can get through this." Isn't that a good lesson for people of any age?

Brain fog or fatigue can happen in people in the form of mild episodes of confusion to severe loss of mind. It can happen due to lack of sleep, neurological conditions (fibromyalgia, stress, multiple sclerosis, menopause, deficiencies of minerals, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or side effect of medicines etc.). Brain functions can be affected by exposure to certain harmful chemicals in everyday things such as plastics, pesticides and cleaners, which can restrict brain power. Stress can shrink brain network and expand the lower brain network to switch the emotional set in a negative way. Stress can also impair the immune, damage chromosomes, cause premature aging and ruin cardiovascular system. Stress can kill brain cells and to enhance brain skills - loss of cells, one should practice relaxation techniques e.g. meditation or develop habits to remain stress free.
There are various researches in this field who work towards offering neuro plasticity to reverse the damage to brain cells caused by stress, however, there are some easy ways offered by herbal memory booster supplements e.g. Brahmpushpi capsules which can reduce the impact of stress and aging on brain cells. Orchis mascula works as astringent, nutritive, demulcent and it is rich in mucilage - which provides jelly like soothing substance to get rid of irritations and gastro intestinal issues. Brahmi or Bacopa monnieri helps in reducing fogginess and improves memory formation. It works as stimulant and can interact with serotonergic system and dopamine to promote neuron communication in body organs. This is done by the mechanism of enhancing the rate of movement of the neurons which helps in increasing nerve end growth. Herbal memory booster supplements contain phyto extracts rich in antioxidants to fight stress and aging.
Bacopa is widely used in herbal memory booster supplements for neurological rejuvenation to enhance brain skills. This provides neuro pharmacological benefits to the body and the properties include - anti-inflammatory, laxative, curing blood disorders, cough and works as a laxative. Commonly the herb is consumed in line with animal fat and this improves herb's fat solubility.
Study on the herb as in Brahmpushpi capsules finds - it was able to provide protection to the stomach lining and protected the lining from ulcers. It also helped in the regeneration of the lining. It augmented memory formation as the extract provided the enzyme Tryptophan Hydroxylase (TPH2) and increased the release of serotonin transporter (SERT). It interacted with the serotonin system of the human body and this created downstream effect on the cholinergic systems. On taking the herb, the study found the dendrite intersection and the branching points of the neurons were able to proliferate - mostly after four to six weeks of intake of the herb. Study on rats showed neuronal growth in rats undergoing growth spurts and the growth was visible in areas of brain involved with memory e.g. basolateral amygdale and hippocampus.
In healthy people, the capsule was successfully able to enhance brain skills - retention of learned information and reduced short term loss of memory and confusion. The intake of 30 mg of the herb daily could improve the condition of delayed recall and verbal learning.

Review: ProgPower USA XVI Day 2, 9/12/15 – Center Stage Theater, Atlanta, GA
Posted by Zach Fehl on September 21, 2015
ProgPower USA is the premier US festival for progressive and power metal. It takes place every year in September at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. The festival seeks to bring in bands that don't necessarily have the fan base to tour the United States but still would like to get their foot in the door. Just as the bands travel from all over the world to play here, so do the fans. The combination of international bands and fans mixed with the intimate atmosphere of the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Georgia leads to one of the most unique festival experiences that the United States has to offer in terms of heavy metal. The first day of the main even was absolutely amazing, and then I had the pleasure of waking up the next day and going back.
Helker
All the way from Argentina came Helker for their very first show outside of their home country. The trend for ignoring the opener that carries at many metal shows found it's exception at ProgPower, as the band was greeted with a warm welcome. Unfortunately, as has been the trend for this year, their drummer was unable to make it to the show in time because of Visa issues. The good news is that they were able to salvage the show with a fill-in player, I may not have noticed if they hadn't mentioned it themselves on stage.
"This song was about us. The love we have for metal unites us, no matter the flag, the country, the color. We should run the world." – Diego Valdez (vocalist)
Dragonland
The Swedish power metal outfit was originally just supposed to play for the show's Wednesday Mid-Week Mayhem show, but when Dynazty was forced to cancel at the very last minute because of Visa issues they jumped to fill in. They had to cut some songs during their first set, so they had the opportunity to play again. The highlight, besides actually getting to see Dragonland in the first place, was when Brittney of Unleash the Archers joined them on stage for their song Cassiopeia. The band is no stranger to fun gimmicks for their show, as they brought out two guest vocalists (who I think were just fans) for a song, and their bassist donned a horse head mask, and their singer had a funny yet crass "F*ck me, I'm famous" t-shirt.
Unleash the Archers
Unfortunately, because of hunger related reasons and waiting in line for the Falconer signing, I missed the majority of their set. At least they sounded great from the signing line.

Kicking off their US Tour in support of their newest album Love, Fear, and the Time Machine, Poland's prog rock group Riverside brought their show back to ProgPower for another go. They were one of the least heavy bands to play the show, and this didn't escape front man/bassist Mariusz Duda. He actually apologized for being less heavy, which was responded to with a thunderous, reassuring applause to prove that you don't need to be heavy to be accepted there. The band played an excellent mix of old and new songs, with all 13 minutes of "Escalator Shrine" being my highlight. Sure, I wish they played "New Generation Slave," but that's just me being a stickler.
Just as Soto was the rockstar of Friday, Royal Hunt brought that personality to Saturday. The band played the entirety of their album Paradox, followed by some songs from their new album XIII: The Devil's Dozen.
Vocalist DC Cooper can sure command a crowd, and his charismatic presence was entertaining to see and hear as he lead a transfixed crowd. One thing that made the show a little bit more special was the fact that DC's children were in the crowd, and supposedly seeing their dad perform for the first time. You could tell that he was putting a little extra into the show, and the entire band performed well enough to make anyone proud.

Posted by ProgPower USA on Sunday, September 13, 2015
The bittersweet moment had arrived, while yes, we were all excited to see Angra, the fact that the festival was almost over weighed heavy on the mind. However, Brazil's neo-classical legends were there for their only US date of 2015, and we don't like to dwell on the negative. Since they don't perform all that in the US, they were to do a special set just for ProgPower XVI. They were to play the entirety of their album Holy Land for the event, followed by some material from their newest album Secret Garden, then my personal favorite Nova Era. closed the show out with a big finale. Fabio Lione, the master vocalist that is he, took some time to interact with the crowd in his own, unique way, by doing a back and forth interaction that nobody else there had a chance of actually reciprocating.
To finish of the festival, Angra was joined by vocalists DC Cooper and Jeff Scott Soto for a cover of Van Halen's cover of "You Really Got Me." The energy was so charged with excitement at that point, you would think that the venue was going to implode. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful weekend.
I've been to many shows, or at least that's what I like to tell myself, but I have never been to one with such a friendly atmosphere. I struck up a conversation with almost everybody that I stood next to in line, whether it be for a signing or merch, everybody was so nice. The first day of the show, the Wednesday Midweek Mayhem, was described to me as being "like a big family reunion." A large portion of the people that I talked to were not there for their first time, some had been going since the very beginning, and many for 10+ years and were now there with their kids.
With so many bands, especially on the same stage, it's easy for things to get overlooked and aural catastrophes to happen. Unless I was too awestruck by being there and didn't notice, there were no major sound issues. Vocals were fixed and the mixes all sounded spot on within 30 seconds of a band taking the stage. Respect goes out to the unsung heroes that are the sound crew.
Center Stage Theater in Atlanta is also a wonderful venue. Located in Midtown Atlanta, the theater style venue had a modest sized floor area, surrounded by steep sloping seats. This lead to the venue having no bad places to sit. From the top you have a great view, from the bottom you have a great view, and from the floor you have a great view, provided you aren't stuck behind someone who's a foot taller than you.
If you walk away from this event without a dozen new friends and the desire to return, then you might have done the weekend wrong and need to re-evaluate your priorities. Thank you ProgPower crew, you put on an excellent show. I'll be seeing you next year!

Jewish Interest Free Loan of Atlanta
"We were solidly middle class with the money we needed, and not a lot extra." said June Adams*. But when her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness, June quit her job to take care of him. "He had liver disease," June said, "and the toxins affected his brain."
He became emotionally difficult to live with, his memory failed him, and then I learned he'd been raiding our retirement account. That was money we'd saved and really needed. Then our home equity loan came due, but the notices were forwarded to him so I found out when the situation was critical. I was doing my best but things were tough."
The next crisis occurred when it was determined that there were defective tiles on the roof of June's home. "I had to have it fixed, not just for safety, but because the insurance company wouldn't insure the house unless the work was done," she said. "It was money I couldn't afford all at once, so I swallowed my pride and looked for support at another Jewish agency, which sent me to JIFLA. What lifesavers.
"Now I tell people, if someone seems like they need help, they should go to JIFLA. What lifesavers.
"Now I tell people if someone seems like they need help, they should go to JIFLA, because the process was so easy and I was treated so well," June said.
*Not her real name.
Our Loan Process
JIFLA loans are funded entirely through community donations which continually recycle to others, generating many times the original value to help maintain the lives of local Jews and their loved ones.

Q: jQuery transition only works once I developed a plugin for WordPress to include the functions of this jQuery lib: http://ricostacruz.com/jquery.transit/#top - just for learning purposes.
This is my page: http://petoria.de - if you move the mouse over the logo it rotates 360°.
Problem: it just rotates once. I want it to rotate every time I move the mouse over the logo. Like in the examples of the first mentioned website.
My code to do the rotation is this:
jQuery(document).on('mouseenter', '#logo', function() {
  jQuery(this)
      .transition({perspective: '300px', rotateX: '360deg'}, 500, 'ease-out')
});

You can also see it in kmt.init.js
a) how to let it rotate every time I move the mouse over the logo?
b) where the heck is the code running the demos on the jquery.transit website?

A: Either you have to reset the rotation (set it to 0 deg again) in the callback of the transition function or you could achieve the same by changing your code to
jQuery(this).transition({
    perspective: '+=300px',
    rotateX: '+=360deg'
}, 500, 'ease-out');

the += increments the property's value

A: Reset the style after the animation finishes. You can queue the reset, like this:
jQuery(document).on('mouseenter', '#logo', function() {
  jQuery(this)
      .transition({perspective: '300px', rotateX: '360deg'}, 500, 'ease-out')
      .transition({rotateX: 0, duration: 0});
});

This avoids clocking up larger than necessary rotateX values, and feels neater than incrementing the value every time.

A: I think you need to return to zero degree before you can rotate it again.

A: jQuery(document).on('mouseenter', '#logo', function() {
   jQuery(this)
      .transition({
         perspective: '+=300px',
         rotateX: '+=360deg'
      }, 500, 'ease-out');
});

Using relative values will work at this without any more code then the += increments.


In the Summer Scholars program, students entering fourth through sixth grades will study biology, physical education, robotics, computer graphics and reading. The Young Scholars program is designed for children entering first through third grades. The campers will receive instruction in biology, physical education, music and reading.
Photo cutline: Students receive a lesson in robotics from Tami Hull during the 2012 Summer Scholars program at HPU. Hull, who coached Early I.S.D. robotics teams to state competitions for the past three years, will return to teach at HPU's camp this summer.
The month of April was an exciting time for the students and faculty in the math department as they hosted HPU's second annual Math Day and participated in many other events.
During the second week of April, two faculty members and four students from the math department traveled to Texas Tech University to attend the Texas Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America. While there, the students in attendance represented HPU in the Annual Calculus Bowl. The HPU team consisted of senior mathematics majors Laura Peisker of Cedar Park and Kathryn Barrackman of Houston, as well as juniors James Smith of Comanche and Tim Marlin of Uvalde. Improvement was shown from last year's team, the first in HPU's history to compete, as the 2013 team advanced from one of the two preliminary rounds into finals.
"This activity is both fun and competitive for students as it heightens interest in calculus, which is a core discipline for mathematics majors," said Dr. Kenneth Word, department chair and professor of mathematics.
Toward the end of the month, the School of Science and Mathematics hosted the HPU General Education Math Day. The keynote speaker was Michael Sullivan, professor of mathematics at Joliet Community College in Illinois, the oldest community college in the U.S. Sullivan is the author of "Fundamentals of Statistics," a Pearson Education publication, which is the textbook used for Introduction to Probability and Statistics at HPU. Sullivan demonstrated a statistics software program called StatCrunch used for data analysis and descriptive statistics that accompanies the MyStatLab software used with his textbook.
The School of Science and Mathematics also hosted the Engineering Math Day, featuring guest speaker Dr. Ron Larson, professor of mathematics at Penn State University in Erie. Dr. Larson is known as the lead author of a comprehensive program for mathematics which spans middle school, high school and college courses. Dr. Larson is even more well-known on HPU's campus as the author of the pre-calculus text and co-author of the calculus text, both Cengage publications, currently used by the math department. Dr. Larson spoke about six mathematical models that are the basis for most mathematical, physics and engineering problems. He particularly discussed the linear model used to determine Hooke's Law and the linear regression of a natural logarithmic model used to determine Kepler's Law concerning the orbits of the planets around the sun.
Also speaking at Engineering Math Day was Thomas Hummel, a graduate of Texas A&M University in College Station and Central Texas College near Fort Hood. An IBM circuit design engineer and retired Army veteran, Hummel is also a veteran of the Iraqi campaign. He spoke of the importance of mathematics in building one's resume for career prospects in science or engineering.
According to Dr. Word, Mathematics Awareness Month has become a tradition for the HPU mathematics department over the last two years.
"This tradition not only benefits the department but the whole campus as well," he said.

HPU honor student receives scholarship to study in D.C.
BROWNWOOD – May 22, 2013 – Elizabeth Rogers, a senior political science and European history major in Howard Payne University's Douglas MacArthur Academy of Freedom multidisciplinary honors program, was recently chosen to participate in the 2013 Engalitcheff Institute on Comparative Political & Economic Systems (ICPES) to be held this summer in Washington, D.C.
Rogers was chosen for ICPES through her participation in the Hatton W. Sumners Program through HPU. Sumners Scholars receive significant financial assistance and opportunities to attend lecture series by national figures and participate in public policy seminars and student leadership conferences. Through the generosity of the Hatton W Sumners Foundation Inc., Rogers was awarded a full scholarship to the D.C. program, covering her tuition and housing expenses.
A native of Grand Junction, Colo., Rogers has participated in Moot Court and Model United Nations throughout her HPU career. She recently completed her junior year while studying abroad in London.
"After graduating from HPU, I plan to attend law school to study criminal or international law," she said.
ICPES participants take courses for transferable credit, attend a variety of guest lectures and briefings, and take advantage of opportunities for professional development and networking. Students who complete the program are guaranteed an internship with a government agency, Congressional office, policy group, political organization or law firm.
ROWNWOOD – May 22, 2013 – Karina Daniel, director of corporate, community and foundation relations at Howard Payne University, was named the May 2013 Ambassador of the Month by the Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Ambassadors participate in various Chamber and community events and serve as the core volunteer group for the Chamber. The Ambassador of the Month is chosen based on participation in events and programs during the previous month.
Daniel first became involved with the Chamber in 2011 when she participated in Leadership Brownwood through then-employer Blaylock Funeral Home. In the fall of 2011, she volunteered for the Total Resource Campaign (TRC), the Chamber's eight-week sponsorship and membership drive, and was appointed to the TRC Advisory Committee. She has continued to remain active with the TRC, this year helping to raise more than $118,000 in sponsorships for Chamber events as well as new Chamber memberships.
Daniel became a Chamber Ambassador in spring 2012 and has helped with Chamber activities such as ribbon cuttings, monthly lunches, Business After Hours events, the annual Chamber Banquet, business showcases and more.
Since joining the HPU staff in September 2012, Daniel has remained active with the Chamber.

The DA calls on the minister, the MEC for safety and security in Gauteng and the provincial commissioner to respond urgently to this issue.
Nearly half of the police force at the precinct is not adequately trained to carry firearms to respond to these crimes according to Mike Waters MP, DA constituency head, Lethabong, Boksburg Advertiser reports.
In response to a parliamentary question Waters asked: "The minister of police revealed that 49 percent of police officers at Boksburg North Police Station are not competent to carry firearms. So, out of the 139 police officers stationed at the Boksburg North police, 53 are not competent in carrying firearms, while a further 15 failed their competency retraining test," said Waters.
He had asked the minister about the number of police officers at the police station, the number of officers competent to carry firearms, including those who had failed their retraining tests.
The DA calls on the minister, the MEC for safety and security in Gauteng and the provincial commissioner to respond urgently to the operational deficiency at the Boksburg North precinct so as to guarantee the safety of residents.


There are people who can say it quickly like a shot what type they are in terms of seasons. With me, it is relatively difficult. How is it with you?
I like the variety of the four seasons. The summer with the warm temperatures, the fall with the falling leaves, the winter with the snow and especially with the Christmas time (I am a big fan of Christmas and I love everything that is kitsch and Christmas-like) or the spring of the anticipation for the summer awakens.
Now that autumn is coming, I'm looking forward to spending time at home and drinking tea. During the summer and the warm weather, I always have the feeling or the urge to spend time outside as much time as possible. Which is nice, but can also be quite exhausting.
I also love the four season because of the wardrobe. New trends, new colors and new materials come with a new season. Although the word "new" is no longer true. Because the times in which the fashion trends changed completely again every 6 months are not entirely correct either. As we all know, trends keep repeating. Which is good, only in terms of sustainability, but also for the wallet.
My outfit today is a look that I've already gained last winter. Nothing new, but that doesn't mean it isn't trendy anymore. A silver pleated skirt with a cozy sweater and white boots.
What do you think about trends which are continually repeated? Do you like them?

Fu uno dei primi seguaci di Sigmund Freud. Ha giocato un ruolo significativo nella storia della psicoanalisi e della sessuologia.

Carriera
Nato a Boiany, Bucovina, fu anche un poeta, un musicista e uno scrittore dotato, tuttavia le sue opere avevano un carattere prevalentemente giornalistico, e il suo interesse per la sessualità fu accusato di essere di segno pornografico. Stekel divenne noto per la sua capacità di comprensione intuitiva dei processi inconsci, in particolare del simbolismo onirico.

Enzo Bonaventura ha scritto che Stekel in Poesia e neurosi porta alle estreme conseguenze la tesi freudiana del rapporto tra arte ed erotismo sentenziando  che «Tra il neurotico e il poeta non c'è alcuna differenza essenziale. Non ogni neurotico è un poeta, ma ogni poeta è un neurotico».

Fu il primo a usare il termine Thanatos per indicare il desiderio di morte. Fin dall'inizio Stekel assegnò una grande importanza al tema della morte. Secondo una sua relazione del 1910, l'angoscia doveva essere considerata una "reazione all'insorgere dell'istinto di morte a seguito della repressione dell'istinto sessuale".
A lui vanno fatte risalire le prime analisi del simbolismo di morte nella vita onirica.

Fu il primo a coniare il termine parafilia in sostituzione della parola perversione.

In seguito, come già successo con altri, le sue idee si scontrarono con la personalità di Freud e per questo fu espulso dalla Società Psicoanalitica di Vienna nel 1912.

Stekel muore suicida a Londra per un'overdose di aspirina "per porre fine al dolore alla prostata e alla gangrena diabetica".

MEMOIRIST: ROSLYN PALMER
INTERVIEWER: NOAH LEVINE
LOCATION: BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA
Transcript (PDF)
Roslyn Palmer was born in Bainbridge, Georgia, on May 4, 1952, to Bella Turetsky and Jacob Wolffe. Her mother's family was from Atlanta. Her grandfather came to Georgia to work as a route salesman. Roslyn's grandmother was from Poland. Roslyn's father, Jacob Wolffe, came to America from Romania in 1921 through Ellis Island. He came to Bainbridge to work at a cousin's downtown department store, and in 1949, he opened his own retail business in Bainbridge. He remained in that business his entire life. Rosalyn has one brother, Ed Wolffe, who lives in Atlanta.
Roslyn attended Bainbridge High School and the University of Georgia. After graduating, she returned to Bainbridge to work as a reporter and a salesperson at a local radio station. She has served 30 years as an elected official for city council as well as having served the Bainbridge community in numerous volunteer civic positions over the years.
She is a life-long member of Temple Beth-El in Bainbridge. She was confirmed when she was in the 10th grade. She married Jack Palmer in 1976. They have one daughter and a grandson.
Roslyn Wolffe Palmer talks about her childhood years in Bainbridge, Georgia. She remembers playing hopscotch and riding bikes with groups of kids in the neighborhood. She talks about being very active and involved in clubs and various activities in high school. She mentions that she was the only Jewish child in her grade. She remembers believing in Santa Claus and going on Easter egg hunts with her best friend. She recalls being absent from school for religious holidays and that it never presented a problem. She reminisces about Passover celebrations and Purim parties. She mentions being the only person in her confirmation class in Fitzgerald, Georgia.
She recounts that Jewish merchants were vital to downtown Bainbridge and remembers stores closing for High Holy Days.

Q: Using ZMQ for bidirectional inter-thread communication I am new to ZeroMQ. I have spent the last couple of months reading the documentation and experimenting with the library. I am currently developing a multi-threaded c++ application and want to use ZeroMQ instead of mutexes to exchange data between my main thread and one of its child.
The child thread is handling the communication with an external application. Therefore, I will need to queue/sockets between the main thread and its child. One for outgoing messages and one for incoming messages.
Which zmq socket should I use in order to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

A: By moving from using shared memory and mutexes to using ZeroMQ, you are entering the realm of Actor model programming.
This, in my opinion, is a fairly good thing. However, there are some things to be aware of.

*

*The only reason mutexes are no longer needed is because you are copying data, not sharing it. The 'cost' is that copying a lot of data takes a lot longer than locking a mutex that points to shared data. So you can end up with a nice looking Actor model program that runs like a dog in comparison to an equivalent program that uses shared memory / mutexes.

*A caveat is that on complicated architectures like Intel Xeons with multiple CPUs, accessing shared memory can, conceivably, take just as long as copying it. This is because this may (depending on how lucky you've been) mean transactions across the QPI bus. Actor model programming is ideal for NUMA hardware architectures. Modern Intel and AMD architectures are, partially/fundamentally, NUMA, but the protocols they run over QPI / Hypertransport "fake" an SMP environment.

*I would avoid ZMQ_PAIR sockets wherever practicable. They don't work across network connections. This means that if, for any reason, your application needs to scale across multiple computers you have to re-write your code. However, if you use different socket types from the very beginning, a scale-up of your application is nothing more than a matter of redeploying your code, not changing it. FYI nanomsg PAIRs do not have this restriction.

*Don't for one moment assume that Actor model programming is going to solve all your problems. It brings in a whole suite of problems all of it's own. You can still deadlock, livelock, spinlock, etc. The problem with Actor model programmes is that these problems can be lurking in your code for years and never happen, until one day the network is just a little bit busier and -bam- your program stops running...

*However, there is a development of Actor model programming called "Communicating Sequential Processes". This doesn't solve those problems, but if you've written your program with these problems they are guaranteed to happen every single time. So you discover the problem during development and testing, not five years later. There's also a process calculi for it, i.e. you can algebraically prove that your design is problem free before you ever write a single line of code. ZeroMQ is not CSP. Interestingly CSP is making something of a comeback - the Rust and Go languages both do CSP. However, they do not do CSP across network connections - it's all in-process stuff. Erlang does CSP too, and AFAIK does it across network connections.

*Assuming you've read all that about CSP and are still going to use ZeroMQ, think carefully about what it is you are planning on sending across the ZeroMQ sockets. If it's all within one program on the same machine, then sending copies of, for example, arrays of integers is fine. They'll still be interpretable as integers at the receiving end. However, if you have aspirations to send data through ZMQ sockets to another computer it's well worth considering some sort of serialisation technology. ZeroMQ delivers messages. Why not make those messages the byte stream from an object serialiser? Then you can guarantee that the received message will, after de-serialisation, mean something appropriate at the receiving end, instead of having to solve problems with endianness, etc.

*Favourite serialisers for me include Google Protocol Buffers. It is language / operating system agnostic, giving lots of options for a heterogeneous system. ASN.1 is another really good option, it can be got for most of the important languages, and it has a rich set of wire formats (including XML and, now/soon, JSON, which gives some interesting inter-op options), and does Constraints (something Google PBufs don't do), but does tend to cost money if one wants really good tools for it. XML can be understood by almost anything, but is bloated. Basically it's worth picking one that doesn't tie you down to using, say, C#, or Python everywhere.

Good luck!

320,000 More Children Lose Health Care Coverage
Home/Administration, Administration, Advocacy, Budget, Children's Monitor, Family & Community Support, Health, Health Care, Healthy Growth & Development, Healthy Growth & Development in Child Welfare, Home News, House legislation, Infants and Toddlers, Legislation, Older Youth, People, Prevention, Protecting Youth & Families, Research, Senate Legislation, State, Youth/320,000 More Children Lose Health Care Coverage
According to a new report by the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, the number of uninsured children grew by 320,000 in 2019 to a total of 4.4 million children. The report, Children's Uninsured Rate Rises by Largest Annual Jump in More Than a Decade, finds that since the start of the Trump Administration, 726,000 children have lost coverage, a full percentage point with the bulk of this loss in the states of Texas and Florida. Over the 2016 to 2019 period, Texas saw a coverage decrease of 243,000 children, and Florida saw coverage drop by 55,000 children over that same timeframe. The Georgetown report points out that these most recent decreases in coverage have come despite what had been an expanding economy.
The analysis points out that by the end of 2016, the nation had reached a historic high for coverage of children. The uninsured figure decreased to 3.6 million and 4.7 percentage of children without coverage. The increases in coverage were a combination of the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the enactment of the ACA, and its related provision of expanded Medicaid coverage. In the 2012 Supreme Court decision upholding the ACA, the Court made the expansion of Medicaid optional. Gradually states have added the Medicaid expansion, but 12 states still do not take the option.
In several states over the past two years (Maine, Nebraska, Utah, Missouri), voters have forced the issue by approving an expansion by ballot. Both Texas and Florida are two of those states not expanding Medicaid, and the state of Texas has been leading the lawsuit to fully repeal the ACA in the current Supreme Court fall schedule.
There had been 7.1 million children without health insurance in 2009 before the ACA passage. That equals 9 percent of the children's population. That percentage had decreased to the 2016 rate. Now we have a three-year gradual increase. The state of Texas leads the nation in the number of uncovered children at 995,000, with 12.7 percent without coverage.
New York was the only state with a significant increase in coverage in last year's totals.
When analyzed by region, the South had 52 percent of the nation's uninsured children, followed by the West at 20 percent, the Midwest with 17 percent, and the East at 9 percent of the nation's total uninsured.
When uninsured children are split out by race and ethnicity, then 13.8 percent of Native American children have the highest percentage of uncovered children, followed by 5.6 percent for White Children, 4.6 percent for Black Children, 4,4 percent for Asian children, and 6.9 percent for multiple races or other categories of ethnicity and race.
The report does not indicate any potential impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on coverage now or in the future. An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation released on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, showed that, because of the unemployment caused by the pandemic, "Among people who become uninsured after job loss, we estimate that nearly half (12.7 million) are eligible for Medicaid, and an additional 8.4 million are eligible for marketplace subsidies [ACA marketplace], as of May 2020."
The Texas numbers have some significance in that the Supreme Court, with either 8 or 9 members, has scheduled oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act for November 10, 2020. The case is the State of California, ET AL. v. the State of Texas, ET AL. In June, the Trump Administration urged the Court to side with Texas and told the Court, "the entire ACA must fall."
Last year the U.S. Fifth Circuit of Appeals agreed with Judge Reed O'Connor of the Federal District Court in Fort Worth, TX when he ruled that "the keystone" of the law was the individual mandate and, when Congress eliminated the individual mandate tax penalty, that it could not be severed from the entire ACA. That would mean that the whole law should be thrown out. Congress eliminated the tax as part of the December 2017 tax cut package. On December 18, 2019, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans agreed to strike down part of the Affordable Care Act provision, ruling that the requirement that people have health insurance was unconstitutional on a 2-1 decision and sent the case back to the lower Court in Texas for further analysis. As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to take up the case in October.

Patricia Mountbatten (également connue sous son nom d'épouse Patricia Knatchbull), Comtesse Mountbatten de Birmanie et Baronne Brabourne, est née le  à Londres, au Royaume-Uni, et morte le  à Mersham dans ce même pays. Fille aînée de Lord Louis Mountbatten, elle est membre de la Chambre des Lords de 1979 à 1999.

Famille
Lady Patricia Mountbatten est la fille aînée de lord Louis Mountbatten (1900-1979), comte Mountbatten de Birmanie, et de son épouse Edwina Ashley (1901-1960). Par son père, elle est donc la petite-fille du prince Louis de Battenberg (1854-1921), marquis de Milford Haven, et de la princesse Victoria de Hesse-Darmstadt (1863-1950) tandis que, par sa mère, elle descend de Wilfrid Ashley (1867-1939), baron Mount Temple, et d'Amalia Cassel (1880-1911).

Le , Patricia Mountbatten épouse, à Romsey, John Knatchbull (1924-2005), baron Brabourne, lui-même fils de Michael Knatchbull (1894-1939).

De ce mariage naissent huit enfants :
 Norton Knatchbull (1947), Comte Mountbatten de Birmanie et Baron Brabourne, qui épouse Penelope Eastwood ;
 Michael-John Knatchbull (1950)
 Anthony Knatchbull (1952-1952) ;
 Joanna Knatchbull (1955) ;
 Amanda Knatchbull (1957) ;
 Philip Knatchbull (1961) ;
 Nicholas Knatchbull (1964-1979) ;
 Timothy Knatchbull (1964).

Biographie
Née à Londres en 1924, Patricia Mountbatten grandit au sein d'un foyer peu conventionnel. Élevée par des gouvernantes, elle noue une relation étroite avec son père, Louis Mountbatten, mais beaucoup plus distante avec sa mère, Edwina.

Envoyée aux États-Unis au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Patricia Mountbatten revient au Royaume-Uni en 1943. Elle intègre alors le Women's Royal Naval Service. Envoyée en Asie peu de temps après, Patricia Mountbatten fait la connaissance de l'aide-de-camp de son père, John Knatchbull, dont elle ne tarde pas à tomber amoureuse. Peu de temps après la guerre, en 1946, le couple se marie, l'une des demoiselles d'honneurs est la princesse Elizabeth, future reine d'Angleterre.

Patricia Mountbatten et John Knatchbull forment un couple uni, qui donne le jour à une famille nombreuse, composée de deux filles et cinq garçons, leur troisième enfant Anthony est mort-né en 1952. Parmi eux, Nicholas trouve la mort à l'âge de  dans l'attentat organisé par l'IRA contre Louis Mountbatten en 1979. Cet événement coûte également la vie à la belle-mère de Patricia et à un ami de son fils, tandis que Patricia Mountbatten sera grièvement blessée de même que son mari et un autre de ses fils, Timothy.

Très affectée par ses blessures et par la mort de Nicholas, Patricia Mountbatten traverse une période difficile. Une fois rétablie, elle s'engage auprès de plusieurs associations caritatives, souvent en faveur des enfants. En dépit de sa peine, Patricia Mountbatten appuie, jusqu'à sa mort, le processus de paix en Irlande du nord. En 2012, elle déclare ainsi qu'elle approuve totalement la rencontre de la reine avec le commanditaire de l'attentat contre sa famille.

Dans la culture populaire
Patricia Mountbatten apparaît dans de nombreux documentaires consacrés à la famille royale britannique, à la fois dans des images d'archives et comme commentatrice.

Son rôle est interprétée par Harriet Benson dans la saison 4 de la série télévisée The Crown.
