Continued success with ANZAC frigate upgrades
15 Jul 2014 2014-07-15T02:00:00+02:00
Henderson, WA - HMAS ANZAC has been undocked from the BAE Systems Henderson Shipyard where it had been undergoing the Anti-Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) upgrade for the last 12 months.
The warship is now commencing its final outfitting and test and trials program before commencing sea trials later this year.
This achievement follows another recent milestone with HMAS ARUNTA recently sailing from Fleet Base West (FBW) to carry out sea trials before returning to service with the new ASMD capability.
BAE Systems Director of Maritime Bill Saltzer said ''the scope of the project for the full ANZAC Class frigate fleet included ship integration of the leading edge CEA Phased Array Radar (PAR), the Vampir NG Infrared Search & Track (IRST) system, the Sharpeye Navigation Radar System (NRS), and an upgraded Saab Combat Management System (CMS), including an improved operations room layout.
"In addition to performing this upgrade which gives the ANZAC Frigates a significantly increased self-defence capability, the DMO and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) are using each ship availability period to implement other engineering changes and maintenance activities that serve to improve operational performance and extend the life of the fleet," he said.
In addition to the base scope ASMD upgrade, BAE Systems is delivering other engineering changes, hundreds of maintenance tasks, and in the case of HMAS ARUNTA, a major reactivation of ship systems that have been dormant for over three years. By combining all these activities together, the RAN will avoid having to take the ships out of service multiple times.
On HMAS ARUNTA, additional work has been added to the scope that could easily have required another four-month availability, and yet the length of time out of service has changed by only a few weeks from the original plan for the ASMD upgrade.
Similar additional work scopes are being added to HMAS ANZAC and the other vessels in the program.
HMAS PERTH was the first ship to be completed and re-entered service in 2011.The ASMD Upgrade project will ultimately include all eight ANZAC Frigates.
By having as many as three ships in upgrade at a time, the project is schedule to be completed in 2017.
HMAS ARUNTA is the second ship in the upgrade program and HMAS ANZAC is the third.
HMAS WARRAMUNGA, the fourth ship, was dry berthed at the Henderson shipyard in mid- February and her upgrade is also currently in progress.
BAE Systems is the prime contractor, platform system integrator and the team at the shipyard in Western Australia is performing the associated ship modifications and engineering changes along with a large number of maintenance and repair tasks on each ship.
All of the ANZAC Class Frigates were built in the BAE Systems shipyard in Williamstown, Victoria and much of the design and engineering work for the ASMD upgrade was undertaken there as well.

Welcome to the dfVFS documentation
=======================================

dfVFS, or Digital Forensics Virtual File System, provides read-only access to
file-system objects from various storage media types and file formats. The goal
of dfVFS is to provide a generic interface for accessing file-system objects,
for which it uses several back-ends that provide the actual implementation of
the various storage media types, volume systems and file systems.

dfVFS originates from the `Plaso project <https://github.com/log2timeline/plaso>`__
and is also based on ideas from the `GRR project <https://github.com/google/grr>`__.
It was largely rewritten and made into a stand-alone project to provide more
flexibility and allow other projects to make use of the VFS functionality.
dfVFS originally was named PyVFS, but that name conflicted with another project.

The source code is available from the `project page <https://github.com/log2timeline/dfvfs>`__.

An Interview with Daren Robbins, Creator of hornexcerpts.org (Part 2)
April 22, 2011•Biographical
Here is the conclusion to my interview with Daren Robbins, creator of hornexcerpts.org, and Head of the Brass and Percussion Division in the College of Music at Thailand's Mahidol University. You can read Part 1 here.
JB: What similarities/differences have you noticed between the higher education systems in the U.S. and Thailand?
DR: Really, there are probably more similarities than differences. There are some superficial differences, for example, the undergraduate students are required to wear uniforms, and the school year begins in June and finishes in February. As for the curriculum, our undergrad and masters music degrees are modeled after music degrees in the U.S. We're in the process of creating a D.M.A. program and our college has a partnership with the College of Music at that University of North Texas. They're helping us iron out the details, so that degree will be very similar too. One unique thing about our College is that we have a Young Artists Program where high school students, starting in tenth grade, live on campus and study alongside the college students–essentially a music-intensive high school program. It's great for kids that want to focus on music starting in high school, and of course it makes a nice feeder program for our undergraduate degree.
If I had to choose one key difference it would be the demeanor of the students. In Thai culture, kids are taught to respect teachers almost unconditionally. This is a refreshing change at times but, to be honest, it's a double-edged sword. The respect for teachers runs so deep that it's considered disrespectful for students to question what is said or even offer an opinion. This can lead to a lot of "spoon feeding"–a one-way flow of information where the teacher delivers the material and the student absorbs and regurgitates it without giving it much thought. For example, I begin the first lesson of each semester with the question "What would you like to work on this semester?" Most of the time the response is a deer-in-the-headlights stare. They can't quite wrap their heads around the fact that I'm asking them for information–it should be the other way around, I should be the one imparting my ideas to them. It takes a while for them to become comfortable with the dialog going both ways.
JB: What is the most appealing part about teaching music at the college level in Southeast Asia? Would you encourage others to seek out college teaching jobs overseas?
DR: Well, I can only speak for my situation at Mahidol, but there's a lot to like. Mahidol has one of the largest, maybe even the largest, music departments in Southeast Asia. Just the fact that I'm here makes me more professionally visible than I would be in the U.S. In the three years that I've been here a number of important horn players have visited. Jeff Nelsen did a master class a few years ago while he was on his honeymoon. David Thompson dropped in for a few days while his orchestra was on an Asian tour. Christoph Ess, principal of the Bamburg Symphony, was here for a week while he soloed with the TPO. Horn players from the Malaysia and Taiwan Symphonies have stopped by.
The opportunities I've had here have been great. The Dean of the College of Music, Dr. Sugree Charoensook, does an amazing job of finding money to make things happen. I've already mentioned our Brass and Percussion Conference–for that I was given a budget that I think I could only dream of at most schools in the U.S. The students here are great. I would say that, on the whole, they are hungrier than the students I taught in the U.S. in that they are willing to work hard and are eager to learn.
I also play in the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra which operates under the purview of the College of Music. It's a half-time orchestra so we play twenty programs every season (basically every-other week) and do two performances of each program. We play lots of great repertoire, we have great soloists every week, a new 2000-seat concert hall is being built to house the orchestra–it's exciting to be a part of all that. Orchestras in the U.S. are really struggling right now. A lot of regional orchestras that used to play seven or eight concerts a season have cut back to four or five, and even some of the biggies like Detroit and Philadelphia are teetering on the brink. I feel really fortunate to be in a place where classical music is in an upswing.
Now, having said all of that I should also say that living and teaching in Thailand is not for everyone. It's a developing country with a different culture and a different way of life, and those differences are not always easy to live with. I've seen a number of people come and go in less than a year because the changes were too much for them.
JB: The horn ensemble you coach, Horn Pure, has gained international recognition lately, winning competitions at the national and international level. Could you talk a little bit about the history and membership of the ensemble?
DR: This group exemplifies what I mean when I say students here are hungry. Horn Pure is an octet of my students currently ranging in age from high school seniors to a junior in college. They got started about two years ago when they approached me about creating a horn ensemble to compete in the Thailand International Wind Ensemble Competition. I have to admit that, inwardly, I rolled my eyes a little at the thought of a horn ensemble competing against brass quintets and sax quartets but I told them to go for it. They put together an octet, we chose some repertoire, and they proceeded to work harder than I've ever seen any horn ensemble work. They surprised everyone including myself when they won the First Prize. That really set them on fire and they began setting their sights on other competitions.
Their next big event was the IHS Symposium in Brisbane. When they found out that there would be a horn ensemble competition they decided that they had to do it and they set to work raising money, finding sponsors, even going on local TV. The fund raising was only half the work. In the weeks leading up to our departure to Brisbane they rehearsed nearly every night, starting at 7:00pm when all their other obligations were finished and usually ending at 10:00pm. They usually rehearsed outside because the classrooms are locked at 6:00pm. Sometimes I was there to listen but if wasn't able they would ask other horn players to listen or they would simply rehearse on their own.
They had a great week at the Symposium which culminated in their winning the competition. Their coup de grâce was performing Kerry Turner's "Farewell to Red Castle" from memory. That was their idea, not mine–another instance where I'm glad I kept my reservations to myself. One thing I've learned from them is never tell students what you think they can't do. One of the highlights for me came earlier that week when they performed "Red Castle" in a master class for the American Horn Quartet. I don't imagine that group is easily impressed but there were lots of smiles, handshakes and hearty congratulations. It was a proud moment for me as a teacher.
Since then they've traveled to Japan where they were finalists in the Osaka Chamber Music Competition. Earlier this year we were awarded a travel grant that we used to tour to three universities outside of Bangkok, giving clinics and concerts at each one. It's been a fun ride with that group.
JB: How does working with a larger horn ensemble differ from coaching a smaller group, such as a horn quartet?
DR: I don't approach Horn Pure much differently than I would a smaller group because I'm not the conductor or director. When a group has a conductor it becomes more about what that person wants rather than the group. The beauty of chamber music is the ability of the group to come to a consensus on its own. With Horn Pure, I see myself as the advisor and coach. I suggest repertoire, I help with the preparation, give lots of musical suggestions, and encourage them to go in certain directions, but I don't conduct and when I leave rehearsal they are free to do what they want. They've proven they can do what it takes I'm happy to stand back and watch them do their thing.
JB: Anything else you would like to share?
DR: Thanks so much for the opportunity to share. It's a real privilege and it's been fun!

Instead, many people perceive that corporations place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality. Not only that, a family corporation seems to now be running the American government.
We live in in a world where financial institutions still believe they are free to take systemic risks at our expense because the government will eventually bail them out. But it's not just risks that are systemic. Thanks to the advances of contemporary science, we are understanding more and more that our entire reality is systemic. We just haven't learned yet to read it that way. Most of us still think and react as if the world were Newtonian and mechanical, instead of complex and non-linear. That's the way we are still educated. But the truth remains that any attempt to govern countries or manage organizations that lacks systemic awareness of how interdependencies and feedback cycles come into play is doomed to create damage.
What would happen if we all embraced a systemic vision of the world?
Most probably, we would not put up anymore with the lack of intelligence that permeates the way politics and businesses are run today. We would not see as inevitable that insurance companies and Big Pharma control our health. We would stop trusting the claims made by the financial pundits and Wall Street wizards about how they boost our economy. We would stop believing that only our individual efforts and personal drive will, eventually, be the cause of our success as a country. And we would stop believing that by competing with each other, one day we could be part of that 1% of the population that owns 80% of the wealth. (See Scientific American 'Economic Inequality: It's Far Worse Than You Think').
In order to live and prosper in this world of unprecedented interconnection, we have to learn at a much faster pace and we can only do so if we improve our ability to leverage our intellect. People may be scared, but they should also know that the knowledge we need to prosper sustainably does exist. It can be acquired, and it can be applied. It's an education none of us can afford to do without.

Articles developed from papers presented at the Making, Materiality and Knowledge conference at Telemark University College, Notodden, Norway, 24 - 27 September 2012.
Making sense. What can we learn from experts of tactile knowledge?


Our speaker, Dr Lewis Dartnell from University College London, began his talk called "Astrobiology: the search for alien life" by saying that when he is asked at parties what he does he answers that he studies "Martian death rays". However, he said the official title of his doctorate was the more long-winded: "Computer modelling and experimental work on the astrobiological implications of the Martian subsurface ionising radiation environment".
He then went on to say that he started his academic career as a biologist and along the way had to learn astrophysics, geology and planetary science. As he is not able to visit Mars in person he studies rock samples from the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica where extremely dry desert conditions exist. This high, mountainous region has no snow or ice cover and is swept dry by high-speed katabatic winds.
Expanding on the talk's title he explained that, in his opinion, astrobiology was the quest to understand the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the Universe. On the difficult question of trying to define what life was, he put forward the idea that life needed three main characteristics.
These were, firstly, some way of containing the information that describes an organism's structure somewhat like an instruction manual. Secondly, a metabolism that would take energy in from the environment in order to keep it alive as the natural tendency of the anything in the Universe is to become more disordered. Then, finally, there needs to be a membrane to contain the organism and keep its processes separate from its environment.
Dr Dartnell thinks it extremely unlikely that life will be found actually on the surface of Mars. This is because Mars lacks a global magnetic field which would divert incoming cosmic rays and the Martian atmosphere is very thin compared to Earth. In fact the radiation manages to penetrate the Martian surface and so he eagerly awaits the launch of ESA's ExoMars rover in 2018, which will drill down up to 2 metres to retrieve a sample to be analysed in a small onboard laboratory.
Shielded from incoming radiation, there is a chance that the rover will find organisms similar to extremophiles on Earth. These are microbes that can put up with conditions that would kill all other organisms. For example, psychrophiles are found living in brine that is sandwiched between Arctic sea ice where temperatures can go down to -15 °C. At the other end of the temperature scale are thermophiles, which can exist quite happily at temperatures between 45 to122 °C in places such as the hot springs in Yellowstone Park.
Dr Dartnell thinks that the most likely place to discover life outside Earth would be within the subsurface oceans of Saturn's moons; especially Enceladus or Europa. It has been proposed that hydrothermal vents, like those at the bottom of Earth's oceans, may be present on these icy moons. Due to the lack of sunlight, the base of the food chain at these vents are bacteria which obtain their energy from the chemicals spewed out from the vents (often called "black smokers").

Q: What did the probe and the whales say to each other? In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the survival of Earth depends on a mysterious probe having a conversation with humpback whales.

McCOY: Well, dammit? You think this is its way of saying 'Hi there' to the people of the Earth?
SPOCK: There are other forms on intelligence on Earth, Doctor. Only human arrogance would assume the message must be meant for man....

What was the message?
This isn't answered in the film itself, and the topic is never revisited in Star Trek episodes or other films.  But perhaps there are screenplay notes (preferable), novels, or comics that elaborate on the probe's message.
I do not believe that the conversation is an exchange of random sounds without meaning given this:

KIRK: Spock, could the humpback's answer to this call be simulated?
SPOCK: The sounds, but not the language. We would be responding in gibberish.

In other words, the premise of the film relies on the assumption that something specific was being communicated.
As best as I can tell, Memory Alpha and Memory Beta's entries on the probe have no information germane to this particular question.

A: The film's official novelisation contains a version of events that includes a translation of the probe's conversation with the whales. Apologies for the length of the quote:

[Probe] Why did you remain silent for so long?
They [The whales] tried to explain, but it reacted in surprise and disbelief.
Where were you? it asked.
We were not here, they replied, but now we have returned. We cannot explain, traveler, because we do not yet understand all that has happened to us.
By "us," the traveler understood them to mean themselves as individuals and all their kind for millions of years in the past. By their song it recognized them as youths.
Who are you? it asked. Where are the others? Where are the elders?'
They are gone, the whales sang, with sadness. They have passed into the deep, they have vanished upon white shores. We alone survive.
Your song is simple, the traveler said, chiding. It was not above petulance. Where are the tales you have invented in all this time, and where are the stories of your families?
They are lost, replied the whale song. All lost. We must begin again. We must evolve our civilization again. We have no other answer.
The traveler hesitated. It wondered if perhaps it should sterilize the planet anyway despite the presence of the untaught singing youths. But if it began a new evolution here, the planet would be silent at least as long as it would take the traveler to circumscribe the galaxy. The traveler would have to endure the pain of the world's silence. Organic evolution required so much time. Besides, the traveler possessed very little cruelty. It could consider destroying the young singers, but the conception caused great distress. It abandoned the idea.
Very well, it said. I shall anticipate young stories.
Fare thee well.
The traveler fell silent. The whales bid it farewell. The traveler collected its energy. It ended its interference with the patterns of the blue-white planet. It ceased to power the violent storms ravaging the surface. It sought its usual course, oriented itself properly, and sailed on a tail of flame into the brilliant blackness of the galaxy.

A: I always thought that because Spock believed he had "successfully communicated their intentions", the Whales were in turn able to relay the story of being saved by these more evolved humans thus convincing the probe to spare the planet.

A: For completeness, I do have a copy of the novel Probe mentioned by N_Soong in a comment. What it has to say is fairly little, but consistent with the STIV novelization. From the prologue:

In the waters of hundreds of worlds it had found primitives who held the promise that, in another million years, they might be able to Speak, might become capable of learning the True Language.
The blue world the entity had recently departed had held such primitives for millennia. Time and again it had returned, listening to their evolving story, etching their rudimentary recitations into its crystalline memory, observing, prompting them in the direction of Speech. But then they had fallen silent. No amount of calling, no intensity of prodding, had brought forth a response until, finally, the creators' instructions had said: Prepare the world for new life. [...] But the instructions had barely begun to be implemented when the primitives had reappeared, had raised their planet-bound voices in joy. [...] When questioned, they would speak only of enclosed spaces and chaos and then freedom.

So the probe was doing something it had done before, establishing contact with the whales of the planet to say hello, exchange stories, and evaluate their progress. The content of its message was just a greeting, then a more urgent "hello, anyone there?". When it finally made contact at the end of the movie, the exchange was "Hey! You weren't there and now you are! What happened?" "We were somewhere else, and now we're here! Some stuff happened but we don't know what it was!" "Well, okay then."

A: Spock performed a Vulcan mind-meld and learned from the whales that the reason that the probe was destroying the Earth was that the probe had made an earlier trip past earth and had learned from the whales that they were endangered due to mankind harpooning them. The probe promised to return at a later time and avenge the whales deaths if they had been hunted to extinction.

Mindy Kaling 'Can't Wait' to See How Fans Will React to Legally Blonde 3: 'We Wrote Elle Woods at 40'
Mindy Kaling can't wait to bring Legally Blonde 3 to the big screen.
In a new interview with Access, Kaling gave an update on the highly-anticipated movie, which was first confirmed back in 2018.
"So, I'm writing it with my friend Dan Goor, who created Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and I just, I love the franchise so much," she said. "I love Elle Woods as a character and when Reese asked me to write it I was like, 'Absolutely!' "
"I can't wait to see what people will think of the way we wrote Elle Woods. We wrote Elle Woods at 40, so how Elle is at 40 versus how she was at 21 has been really fun to imagine," Kaling shared.
"I don't know when we'll be able to shoot movies again but it would be great to, if Reese likes the script, shooting it this year would be awesome," The Office alum added.
When asked if fans can expect to see some references to iconic moments in the original two movies, the actress confirmed: "Bend and Snap is forever. We definitely have a lot of fan favorites from the original movie."
The mom of two spoke about her friendship with Reese Witherspoon, as the duo has alongside one another in A Wrinkle in Time and The Morning Show.
Kaling also pointed out that Witherspoon became a mom at a young age and found success in her career. "I really look to her for a lot of parenting advice," she said.
Kaling first confirmed the news that she would be writing the Legally Blonde 3 script on Instagram in May 2020. "Elle Woods is so iconic, proving you can be girly and smart at the same time. Bend and snap people!" she wrote in a post at the time.
Witherspoon will be reprising her role as attorney Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 3. She first played the Harvard Law student in 2001 for Legally Blonde, which was followed up with Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde back in 2003.

Chief Executive asked us what CEOs should expect from their Marketing leadership as we head into the new year.
To stay sharp, compete and win in 2018, we offered 3 key trends every CEO should be apprised of regarding their marketing organization.
A recent drop in marketing budgets (per Gartner) is largely due in part to marketing leadership being too distracted by tactics and execution.
As budgets are tightened, marketing teams that succeed in 2018 will build a closer relationship between Marketing and Finance.
These trends, along with the newfound pressure for marketing to run more like a business, have created a new VIP on the marketing team; Marketing Operations. For many organizations, MOPs has emerged as the most capable resource to step in and help the CMO in their quest, especially with responsibilities related to data cleanliness, marketing resource management, and marketing performance management.

Tsunami Looks Less Likely, But Don't Go Swimming Yet
Estimated travel times of a tsunami, from the NOAA. Looks like it would've hit somewhere by now.
UPDATE UPDATE: another tremor has been felt. So we're not nearly out of the woods. Basically just stay away from the coast. I think Sri Lanka has so far responded a lot better than last time.
Today's Sumatran earthquake is looking less likely to cause a tsunami, but the situation still looks dodge. Please stay away from the coast. I say less likely because of two things, the quake moved horizontally, thus not displacing a large amount of water. Also, no tsunami seems to have hit Aceh or Indonesia (or the Andamans), and they would get it first. The ETA of a potential tsunami on the east coast would be, like, now, so I guess we'll see. So far it's not likely. If it did come up to Colombo, it'd be in about 40 minutes.
Horizontal Quake
Last time the Sumatran earthquake moved vertically, lifting a huge column of water that was then propelled, somewhat invisibly, until it hit the shallows of our coast and crested into a vicious tsunami. This time, however, the quake seems to have been horizontal. We felt it here, but it seems unlikely to generate the same sort of water displacement.
Bruce Presgrave of the USGS later told the BBC that the nature of this quake made it less likely a tsunami would be generated, as the earth had moved horizontally, rather than vertically, therefore had not displaced large volumes of water.
"We can't rule out the possibility, but horizontal motion is less likely to produce a destructive tsunami," he said. (BBC)
So that's one thing.
No Tsunamis Elsewhere
The tragic thing last time was that we had hours to save thousands of lives. The tsunami hit Indonesia, Thailand, then the east coast of Sri Lanka, then slowly wrapped around the island. People died for lack of information, and for lack of understanding of what a tsunami was. This time, however, we do know, and we can see if a tsunami has hit those regions yet. It seems like it hasn't.
FLASH: Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency says no detection of low tide that would indicate tsunami in Aceh
— Reuters India (@ReutersIndia) April 11, 2012
#SRILANKA RT @PTI_News: No waves noticed so far in Andaman/Nicobar Islands; tsunami virtually ruled out, says NDMA vice presSasidhra Reddy.
— Amantha (@AmanthaP) April 11, 2012
Reax In SL
That said, people in Sri Lanka have freaked out a bit, which I think is good. Coastal trains have stopped, CEB has cut off power there (not sure exactly how that helps), and the Southern Expressway has been opened without a toll to get people off the coastal Galle Road. People have already gone home for Avurudu, but I hear that offices are letting out early. Phone lines also cloggy.
But I think there won't be a tsunami. But still stay away from the coast, for the next hour or two at least.

AP: Indonesia issues new tsunami warning after powerful aftershock
This was a few minutes ago.
This was uploaded a few minutes ago from Indonesia, so small tsunami's have hit. Hope it won't get any bigger.
Sri Lanka News Online	 9 years ago
I felt this aftershock about 4.15pm here in Dehiwala. I was watching TV news and the annoucer said "now I can feel another tremer here in the studio". I was wondering what the hell he's talking about. Only a few second later I felt it too. wow, the house walls started shacking slightly and when I look up the wall corners were really shaking. wow. first time I have experienced this. now the trouble is will this new shake make a new tsunami??? they said if the first quake at 2 pm will reach colombo at 4.50pm. that was a suspense and people were leaving their houses, robbers and thieves were moving in my lane every few minutes in push bikes. now this new quakes will probably keep us wake whole night. shit
jehanlive	 9 years ago
I think the CEB used this as an excuse to cut power supply. You know, we're having electricity shortage in the country.
This earthquake at 8.5 is one tenth of the size of the one that happened in 2004. So even if we had a tsunami, it would be substantially smaller. The aftershocks at 8.1 are like 1/100th of the 2004 quake
The ricther scale is exponential magnitude to havoc, you're right. Most of the news I read said the earthquake was of similar magnitude to the 2004 earthquake, so I never bothered checking. Just googled it and looks like it's a gross misinterpretation, seeing as the 2004 earthquake was 9.0 – 9.1 in scale. However 8.6 is still relatively large, people felt it all the way in Sri Lanka.
I cant help thinking that Ajit Cabraal must be a little disappointed. I know, I know. I'm evil.


• The ethical issues that are involved in treating friends and family are numerous and become increasingly problematic as the closeness of the relationship increases.
• Physicians who are also a family member of the patient face numerous conflicts of interest between their dual roles.
• Although physicians may see themselves as the best advocate for their family, it is easy to lose perspective when one has emotional investment, and informal care may even pose a risk or be detrimental to the patient.

Life : Too Many ? Too Few ? Never ?
• PPIs should be used in lowest possible dose and for shortest possible duration.
• PPIs are safe medications and when indicated can be used for long term without any risk or need of special monitoring.
• We need to review the dose and indication for continuation of PPI for patients who need for long term.
• Positive autoimmune serology AI disease.
• RF / ANA titres do not correlate with disease activity.
• Dx Rheumatic / AI Diseases: clinical pattern recognition.
• Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): most common cause of arthritis in children.
• Normal SI joint Imaging does not rule out SpA.
• Development of acute lactic acidosis in patient with sepsis and shock is associated with increase in mortality.
• Aggressive resuscitation and elimination of triggering conditions are mainstay of treatment.
• Control of blood calcium level and reduction of PaCO2 during bicarbonate administration may enhance any benefit of bicarbonate.
• Skin lesions occur in multiple infections, allergic conditions as well as internal diseases.
• Holistic view, long term approach.
• LAA appendage occlusion is an important addition to our armamentarium against Cardioembolic strokes.
• Beta blockers are not 1st line drugs for non-complicated HTN, should be used only in compelling indications, Atenolol should not be used in IHD patients.
• MRAs constitute an important class of drugs in patients with resistant Hypertension.
• Obesity is a complex syndrome having multiple factors contributing to it, SALT being one of the important factor.
• Calories restriction and exercise are the main tools to curtail Obesity.
• But we should give equal emphasis to SALT consumption.
• Long-term treatment: No effect on long-term mortality or HF morbidity.
• For example, among those who Achieved Levels of hsCRP <2mg/L after a Single Dose of Canakinumab, Continued Long-Term Treatment was associated with a 25% Reduction in MACE (P<0.0001), a 31% Reduction in Cardiovascular Mortality (P=0.0004) and a 31% Reduction in all-cause Mortality (P<0.0001).
• By Contrast, Effects were smaller in Magnitude and Non-significant for all of these endpoints among those with a less Profound Inflammatory Response.
• FOURIER: Evolocumab, on top of Statin therapy, reduces LDL-C to <30 mg/dL and further reduces CV events.
• EBBINGHAUS: Evolocumab, on top of Statin therapy, reduces LDL-C to <30 mg/dL and does not cause cognitive dysfunction at 19 months follow up.
• CANTOS: Canakinumab, an IL-1 ß inhibitor, by reducing inflammation, reduces 3- pont MACE, mainly driven by reduction in MI, especially in subgroup of hs-CRP responders.
• HPS3/TIMI 55/REVEAL: Among patients with ASCVD on statin, addition of Anacetrapib reduced CV events further.
• RE-DUAL PCI: Among patients with NVAF needing PCI, Dual Therapy with Dabigatran plus P2Y12 i is safer and equally effective compared to triple therapy of Warfarin and DAPT.
Case of Intermediate Lesions in CAD: What to Do?
• FFR remains the reference standard for physiological assessment of intermediate lesion severity.
• iFR is an adenosine independent index of coronary stenosis severity utilised either alone or in combination with FFR.
• These indices form the backbone of functional assessment of intermediate coronary lesions (clinically, non-invasively and angiographically).
• Presence of VA could independently influence mortality in patients recovering from MI.
• Appropriate risk assessment and subsequent treatment is warranted in these pts.
• The prevention and treatment of hemodynamically significant VAs in the post- infarct period and of SCD remote from the event are under study.
• COMPASS trial represents a imp step forward in thrombo-cardiology.
Case of Acute MI: what went wrong?
LAA Closure: Here to Stay – Why – When – Who?
• AF ablation and LAA closure may become tandem procedures in the future.
• Patient with intermediate risk PE requires close monitoring and serial measurements of several parameters like Trop-t, BNP, s-PESI scores etc.
No Mortality Benefit to supplemental Oxygen in acute MI – Bye Bye to Oxygen!
A Case of HT with DM and CHD : How will I Optimize Therapy?
• RHTN, a common problem, in a subset of patients.
• Pseudo resistance needs to be rules out.
• ABPM a very helpful tool.
• Secondary causes must be rules out & treated appropriately.
• Judicious up-titration of single / or appropriate combination of drugs overcomes this problem.
• Diuretics, cornerstone of therapy of RHTN. • Stenting Renal artery in RAS may be useful in selected population.
• Newer drugs & interventions holds promise for the future.
• Comprehensive risk management : HT, DM, Lipids etc.
• JBS risk score is most accurate compared to any other risk score to predict CV risk in Indian population.
STEMI: Dual Antiplatelet Treatment: Which Combination and When?
• In all patients of ACS, DAPT is must.
• Lower dose of Aspirin preferred.
• Clopidogrel : Only STEMI patients undergoing TLT.
• Ticagrelor : All other ACS patients : NSTEMI, STEMI with PPCI, STEMI with late presentation not undergoing TLT.
• DAPT for 12 months. Consider shorter (3-6 m) or longer (up to 30 m): ischemic vs bleeding risk.
• Triple therapy for only 6 weeks when must.
• All patients and issues need to be approached with an open mind, without prejudice and premeditated diagnosis.
• Appropriate risk assessment and subsequent treatment is warranted in these patients.
• The prevention and treatment of hemodynamically significant VAs in the post- infarct period and of SCD remote from the event is crucial.
• Team- based approach including specialists in acute cardiac care, interventional cardiology, and electrophysiology is needed for ….
• Acute care and mgt of VA, AF, Bradyarrhythmias, and prevention of stroke and embolism in Pts with ACS.
• CANVAS: Canagliflozin reduces 3-point MACE and HHF. There is increased incidence of amputation.
• CVD-REAL: In this real world large observational study in type 2 diabetes, SGLT2i reduced all- cause mortality and HHF. 87% of these patients were free of any established CVD.
• EXSCEL: Among patients with type 2 diabetes with or without previous CV disease, exenatide (long acting GLP1 RA) did not cause significant reduction in 3-point MACE.
• DEVOTE: Among patients with type 2 DM, Degludec is non-inferior to basal insulin Glargine for incidence of CV events and is superior to it for prevention of severe and nocturnal hypoglycaemia.
• EINSTEIN CHOICE: Among patients with DVT and PTE on intensive OAC for 6-12 months, continued 10 or 20 mg Rivaroxaban for extended period was better than Aspirin for prevention of recurrent events, without additional significant bleeding risk.

Q: How to customize Recharts Scatter circle size I wanted to customize Recharts  Scatter circle size. Is there any docs for all possible custom options?
    <ScatterChart
            width={400}
            height={400}
            margin={{
                top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 20, left: 20,

            **<Scatter name="A school" data={data} fill="#8884d8" />**
        </ScatterChart>

A: Adding a z-axis changes the size of the circle. If you want all of them to be the same size do this similar to the xaxis or yaxis...
<ZAxis range={[30, 31]} />

Changing the range first number will change the size of all the circles.
If you want the circles to be different sizes depending on a piece of data, follow the link provided and below. It is a perfect example of this.

Q: Flask restplus swagger "Model  not registered" I keep getting  the following error whenever I try send a request.

I found that removing mac_mapping and ips attribute lines removes the exception. Trying to add the tcp_timestamp_min attribute twice (under different name) causes the error to be risen again.
I have no idea what this exception means. It gets risen even when I try adding some bogus attributes that only lead to string. It always specifies List.
I am executing this by executing a unit test only for this specific function.

A: I don't recognize this error, so this might not be a useful answer, but Flask-Restplus is dead. Consider therefore changing Flask-RESTX which is a maintained fork to eliminate the possibility that the error arise from there.

Q: singleton implementation question template <class T>
class Singleton

class TestClass : public Singleton<TestClass>

For the above implemenation, I have a question below:
TestClass class1 = TestClass::instance();
TestClass class2 = TestClass::instance();

I found &class1 != &class2, is this a singleton?

A:  TestClass class1 = TestClass::instance();

You're making a copy of the object returned by the factory, so you get a different object each time.
To prevent this, get references to your singleton:
 TestClass& class1 = TestClass::instance();

Still there is something strange because making a copy of MyClass issues compiler error (it inherit from boost::noncopyable via Singleton, so I'm not sure how you can compiled the code you posted.

POLICY & PROHIBITED ITEMS
Art — The Full Moon Return
MARS-1 - Molecule Project
MARS-1
MARS-1 (aka Mario Martinez) is a left-handed artist who spends most of his time in the right side of his brain, communicating through a visual language. His unique imagery explores possibilities of otherworldly existence through highly developed, multi-layered landscapes. Often employing a fuzzy-logic aesthetic, Mars-1's artwork has a sentient appearance, like a tulpa—which in mysticism, is the concept of a materialized thought that manifests into physical form. His unique style has been described as urban-Gothic, sci-fi abstracted, quasi-organic form.
Early inspirations include: graffiti, animation, comic book characters, ufology, extraterrestrials, unexplored life, mysteries of the universe, alternate realities and the abstract quality of existence. At the age of 13, Mars-1 began writing graffiti in his hometown of Fresno. He later attended Academy of Art in San Francisco, where he currently lives and works, remaining heavily active in the city's contemporary art scene.
The true meaning of Mars-1's imagery is ultimately left to the viewer's interpretation. The artist feels this brings his creations full-circle, encouraging his audience not only to decipher the messages he wishes to convey but to receive thoughts and ideas of their own, as well.
HANNAH YATA
Graduating with a BFA in painting from the University of Georgia in 2012 where she thereafter moved to New York to be an artist. In 2015, she was commissioned to do several works of art for musician B.o.B where she quit her full-time job to focus solely on her own painting. Now married to fellow artist, Jean Pierre Arboleda, the two painters work passionately to call attention to industry, its effects on our psyche and the living world around us.
In her paintings, Yata seeks to interweave the parallels of the unconscious with the struggle of the natural environment and how it relates to views regarding the body of the woman and that of nature. Her use of masks express different types of emotion and characters while incorporating her fascination with culture and tribalism. Body paint and designs play with a romantic idea of becoming more in touch with the earth and the life forces that dwell within, while also celebrating the feeling of energy and wildness. The surreal and psychedelic landscapes of her work erupt with tension and beauty, the grotesque and the wild to form exhilarating and mind altering dreamscapes.
JEAN-PIERRE ARBOLEDA
Jean Pierre Arboleda was born in Quito, Ecuador. He grew up fascinated with animals and nature and loved to draw and paint through out his childhood. He moved as a young adult to New York City and received his BFA in illustration at the School of Visual Arts and his Masters degree in fine art at the New York Academy.
Jean Pierre Arboleda's life long passion for animals and nature grew to encompass topics that concerned issues of evolutionary change, environmental toxicity, and war. The very humanoid qualities Jean Pierre gives to his animals invites the viewer be drawn into their soul. The feeling of peacefulness, beauty, struggle, and spirituality coincide to encompass a world where creatures emerge as fellow stewards of the earth. His paintings provoke thought and compassion for our counterparts and encourage us to empathize with their reality as humanity's impact grows ever larger in their world.
BEN RIDGWAY
My abstract animations investigate the metaphysical features of reality. They are designed to stimulate archetypal associations and invite the viewer to make personal connections to the visual and auditory experience without any reliance on narrative or spoken language.
APEX COLLECTIVE
Jake Amason
Jake Amason is an acrylic painter from Denver, Colorado. He studied computer graphics and 3D animation for several years before deciding to drop out because of a new addiction to paint arising from long render times that consumed his slow computer. Jake considers Photoshop to be his art teacher and taught him a visual language that prepared him for traditional media. Through sculpting in 3D programs such as Maya, Cinema 4D and ZBrush, he gained experience manipulating massive dimensional virtual worlds compressed into a two-dimensional plane before ever touching the canvas. These environmental textures and understanding of dramatic depth are used in rhythmic patterns to direct the eye through the space over time to animate a still image.
Stephen Kruse
While it usually comes out as spacescapes infused with light-emitting geometry, or otherworldly organic forms meeting future machinery, my work is simply about finding balance between all. Imagination can be the same as experience on canvas, which is why music is one of my biggest inspirations. If you listen close enough, sound takes the most lovely shapes and colors. I'll always enjoy the experience of painting at shows. The energy and interaction is what art is all about to me… So let's talk sometime.
Zach Jackson
Zach Jackson's work is heavily influenced by the concept of nature vs technology. With infused accents of science fiction and fantasy. While all classes of science influence Zach's work, a few of his favorite fields include biology, physics and quantum mechanics. Zach has also been interested in exploring the inner depths of the mind. Developing his roots within eastern psychology. His Work aims to represent experiences beyond the everyday scope of reality. At times the work can play with paradoxes and chaos, while still maintaining an underlying order.
ILL DES
David Fratu (aka ILL.DES) is an artist living and working in Atlanta, GA. His style of painting represents a balance between chaos and order. Using gradients of color and intricate patterns, he creates a sense of depth and movement. Viewers are drawn into his illusive designs filled with vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and organic line work. Together, his unique symmetrical compositions form a perfect equilibrium of harmony and discord.
LOVE LIGHT LESLIE
Through my artwork, I wish to remind people of their innate child-like sense of wonder and whimsy. Though we are consistently growing through adult experiences that can test the strength of our imaginations and dim the light from within, we are able to access that playfulness, especially through art and music.
Music was my first love, and being able to experiment with painting live helped me discover my path as an artist. I love to interact and paint around people, and to paint certain colors associated with certain sounds and instruments. I enjoy being able to provide visual recordings of an experience. After experiencing it, I consider live art to be incredibly interactive with the musicians, the fans, fellow artists, and the overall scene. That, to me, is the most pure form of joy. Nothing warms me more than seeing a community resort to just being happy together, and I wish to act as a catalyst and convey that energy to all others.
Inspiration from my art comes from childhood folklore, bright and vibrant colors, nature, femininity, and of course, music. I hope and wish to inspire all to be truthful and courageous with themselves and what makes them whole. In this way, they may create the way they are born to be, and can inspire to build bigger platforms for others to do the same.

150 Years of Stats Canada!: A Guide to Canada's Greatest Country by @stats_canada
Penguin, 2017 (2017)
In 150 Years of Stats Canada!: A Guide to Canada's Greatest Country, the folk at @stats_canada (with the disclaimer that they're 'still 100.6% not affiliated with Statistics Canada') offer amusing and eclectic tidbits of Canadian culture, just in time for our 150th anniversary of Confederation.
I especially enjoyed the intro, loomed over by a moose (Canadian icons are scattered throughout) which tells us that 'The maple leaf is recognized abroad as a symbol of tolerance, progressive ideas, and designer winter coats' (our frigid winters are alluded to often here). We learn that occupations have evolved too - 'since 1867, the number of fur trappers has plummeted while the number of YouTube celebrities has increased significantly.'
Chapter topics include: Pass the Citizenship Test; Cure a Canadian Hangover; Visit Paris, Ontario; Dodge the Draft; Fix Climate Change; Eat a Donair; Discover Canadian Wildlife; Visit the Newfoundland Iceberg Museum; Smoke Some Weed; and Feel Superior to America. There's something for everyone in here. And though, the humor doesn't always hit the mark (seems to me that sometimes you just had to have been there, or it's simply trying too hard), it did often enough to keep me reading.
Having come from Ireland and married a Quebecois, I chuckled over: 'the story of Quebec's history is told in every plate of poutine: take some people from France (cheese), add a bunch of the Irish (potatoes) and then overpower them with a generous dollop of the English (gravy).' And I appreciated the cottage commentary, including 'There are few activities more Canadian than loading up on carbs while sitting on a dock.' Too true.
While you don't have to be Canadian to enjoy the self-deprecating humor in 150 Years of Stats Canada!, you probably should have been here at least once - or have a visit planned. Don't worry - after reading this, you'll fit right in.


Chances are you own a vehicle. Over 90% of American households do. That's a lot of people out on our roadways.
Are you taking full advantage of that opportunity yet?
Don't miss out on using an asset you already have to spread your message. Find out why you need to be using vehicle wraps for your business.
Vehicle wraps are the most cost effective form of advertising around. Wraps can garner as many as 70,000 impressions a day or 9 Million over 15,000 miles.
If you own a small business, you'll want to allocate only about 2-12% of sales to your marketing budget, saving whenever you can.
Usually, pricing for wraps is done by the square foot. Vehicle wraps cost only a couple thousand dollars for cars and small vehicles and around $3,000 – $5,000 for larger SUVs and vans.
Remember too, that this is a one-time cost. In contrast, leasing a billboard can cost thousands of dollars per month. Don't even get me started on the cost of radio and T.V. ads.
People who see the truck or car wrap are 15 times more likely to recall the business or product in question. Plus, a whopping 92% actually read all of the copy on the graphic as well. When you add in the 30% who say it influenced their decision to buy and you have a very effective advertising product.
We've all sat in traffic that's slowed to a crawl. Hundreds or even thousands of people backed up for miles. You get bored and end up reading every bumper sticker and license plate around.
You'll want to take advantage of that chance.
Instead of paying for that expensive billboard space on the side of the freeway you get to put your advertising right in the thick of traffic for a fraction of the price, gaining potential customers all the while.
You'll be so happy you may even want to double back for another pass!
Freedom to go anywhere your target audience may be. If they're at the baseball game, a festival downtown, or the mall, then your advertising can be too.
Imagine you're getting some work done at your favorite WiFi cafe and your vehicle is out in the parking lot gaining you exposure.
You get to expose your business to who you want, where you want, and on your time. Plus, when you've had enough you can easily have the wrap removed.
Did I mention how much money you'll save advertising with vehicle wraps?
Oh, good. Because with that money you will be able to put more into things like graphic design for the ad itself.
There was a study for the Harvard Business Review that looked at how creativity works with advertising. It found that for cash put into a creative campaign the sales impact was nearly double that of money put into non-creative campaigns.
With wraps, you get to be as creative as you want. You can create unique and captivating advertisements that stick with people.
A well-designed advertisement on your vehicle can create an impression on people that may not have ever thought of your business otherwise.
In a study performed for the Mediterranean Journal of Social Science, they found a positive correlation of advertisements on cars and the ability for participants to recall those advertisements. This study was performed using primarily participants from generation Y, or millennials, aged 20-30.
The study also found that one of the most notable elements that coincided with people's ability to recall advertisements was the inclusion of images in the advertisement.
Marketing doesn't have to be a drain on your business. It can be a fun and interesting way to expose your business to the world.
The cooler the graphics of the advertisement, the cooler your vehicle will be and the more customers you will acquire.
If you have any questions about vehicle wraps or design, feel free to contact us anytime.
Very nice tips indeed. In every kind of wraps or hoardings, the presentation is the most important aspect.
I love that you talked about the benefits of installing vehicle wraps, especially for business purposes. The reason you stated in #2 was a spot on because it covers just about everything in this post – the visibility of the business adverts to people and fellow drivers are high, most especially when stuck in traffic. Exposure increases the number of prospects hence paying big time for billboards are no longer necessary. If I were a business owner, I believe this will make a cool gimmick to catch people's attention on the streets with its cool graphics and labels. Thank you!


Improving the experiment to make it 'repeatable' and 'catch up' for those who had difficulty last time- The AIM: similar results!.
Ray's Gr 5 Simple Machines unit.
Fall 11- under construction.- Feel free to help improve this! Can you speak another language? Let me know at ray.myrtle (at) gmail.com I want to produce other language versions of the lessons so that ESL & parents with limited English can understand the material- some of this is just materials and ideas 'parked here'.
Use the wagon as a simple machines quiz. (find the simple machines)- Didn't work too well. Need a better one.
READ ALL OF THE CRITERIA (rules) BEFORE YOU START!
1. Hypothesis: means: What do you think will happen?
You can also use a question: What are we trying to find?– for example: How far are paper clips from the fulcrum when the lever is balanced?
2. Materials: Exactly what things did you use? List them.
3. Method: (this part is optional) Describe EXACTLY how you did the experiment. Write out each step so someone could copy exactly what you did and get the same results as you did. Use diagrams to help make it clear.
4. Results: This is the measurements and other observations you made during the experiment.
the Data Table is the most important part. Include the results from other people in your class in your data table.
Put your data into a Graph. Label the graph.
5. Conclusions: Explain what happened. Looking at the results, what patterns do you see?
Errors: Why do you think we got different results sometimes? Why did Steven get 8 cm?What could explain it? Think about the way the experiment was done.
Give the three best 3 reasons why some results might be different.
All words level on the page- no printing up or down, except on the side of the graph.
Use a ruler to draw lines.
Space out the parts of the poster so that it is not crowded or emply in any part.
Rubric: A chart that tells you how the poster will be evaluated and helps you know what to do.
Required– what you have to do.
Most title, labels are missing. Did not follow all criteria.
Writing may be difficult to read.
clear in most parts. Criteria followed.
Here are some ideas I'm playing with about the final test..
This page is designed to be a revision of the Fall 2011 Simple Machines Unit.
and open to the Science page, so you can get a quick check on what is expected.
Latest Simple Machines Unit Plan in backwards design format: (note day by day plan is on the last page).
To download these pictures in your own flip lesson, go to the Pages and Files link on the left side-to download, you will need to be a member of the wiki- (click on 'join now' on the top left).
To learn how to put information into a graph and label it.
To learn to read a graph and make a conclusion.
Download* the #2 & #3 blackline masters from here.
*FYI- The reason for the insistence on following the directions in the text (which might not be appropriate at other times), is that this excerpt is written to be used during the first week of school, when learning to complete a graph was NOT as important as the underlying goals for this activity: 1) to establish following directions,(if students don't follow your directions during the first week, they never will!) 2). to quickly gain an assessment of students' writing ability, and ability to infer.
Here is a pretest #1, Static Friction Experiment Quiz.doc you can use to help the student focus on what they need to learn about the experiment.
Lesson 3- How to write a one page Science Report.– Although it is not central to the simple machines outcomes, I believe that Science Reports do encourage the development of the science skills in the IRP and help provide a foundation for success in science through K-12.
Watch the description of the Flip Lesson on writing the Science Report. You can watch it below. I'm going to try to split this apart so its not as long.
and some comments about the report..
Here is a quiz as an opening activity to check ability to do the graph, label the diagram and draw conclusions and notice errors.
Lesson 4- Kinetic Friction Experiment – this experiment is very similar to the Static friction experiment. The purpose is to enable those who successfully completed the Static Friction Experiment to go on, while the teacher can do 'Correct & Catch' up with those who did not do the first experiment write up correctly.
Here is a written version of the instructions Lesson 3 Kinetic Friction.docthat you can hand out to those students who cannot see the video version.
The purpose of this experiment is to illustrate about a key characteristic of simple machines: they change distance in to force.
We will find the difference in the amount of force needed to lift a weight straight up or lift it up on an inclined plane.
How to measure with a ruler (note start at 2:45 minutes- the part before that is about the imperial system.
Download instructions Lesson 6 (need to change from #5) Lesson #5-First Inclined Plane.doc.
to use data to make a prediction or hypothesis and test it.
I'm going to try to do a video on how to think about the ideas in this experiment. I've removed old #8 video.
The wheel is a wonderful invention that reduces friction. Usually in that case the wheel spins on the axle.
However when the wheel is FIXED to the axle it is can change distance into force.
Here is a rough copy for collection of data.
Download a description of the experiment using starbucks cups.
See also Bill Nye YouTube or NFB animation on the Pulley.
that if you double the weight on one side, you need to double the distance on the other. This leads to L x W= L x W (Length x Weight on one side)= Length x Weight on the other side).
Near the Force= 3rd class (baseball bat or fishing rod).
Related to this is the understanding that the 3rd class lever is use force to create more distance (or speed) (the opposite of most of the other simple machines)- the 1st class lever can do this as well by changing the length of the levers and placing the force on the shorter end and the load on the longer end of the lever.
2. Measure 3 cm from the balance point (fulcrum) and put a mark and place a paper clip there. (the picture below does not have the balance mare but has not been marked for 3 cm.
3. Put another paper clip on the other side of the balance point, and move it in or our until it balances.
Mark the spot where the 2nd paper clip is. What distance do you think it will be?
4. Measure the distance from each paper clip to the balance point.
Share your answers with your class.
5. Put 2 paper clips on the 3 cm mark you made before, and move the other paper clip until it balances.
Mark it and measure it.
6. Collect your data from the whole class- what do you find? Can you see a simple way of predicting the distance of the second (single) paper clip? How does it compare with the distance of the first paper clip?

Green card resident since date vs departure date | US Immigration forums hosted by the Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, PC for the community. We take no responsibility for the information presented here.
I got my dad's green card renewed and the resident since date is June 23 2018.
He left USA on April 9th of 2018( i sent his renewed green card to him).
Does the 1 year period (by the time he has to return ) start on April 9 2018 or June 23 2018.
But the dates on the green card don't make sense to me, if it's a renewed green card he has been resident much longer. Did they make an error on the card?
Thanks for the response. I haven't received any documentation or notification from USCIS that they made an error. His original(first) issue date is June 2008 so i am guessing they renewed based on that date. We applied for renewal in April.
Re read the dates on the first post.
Like @SusieQQQ said. Your dates aren't making sense. The resident "since date". Is always the date you first entered the country.
You guys need that rectified. The date should reflect 2008.
Apologize. You are correct. The Resident since date is indeed June 18/2008. I made a mistake in my original post.
I guess the answer is still the same. Since he last left April 9 2018 he has to be back before that date correct ?

Who is maria dating in coronation street
She was married to property developer Matthew Smith at the time, while Sylvain was dating 'Hollyoaks' actress Jennifer Metcalfe, who he'd partnered on a previous series of 'DOI'.Samia had shared her excitement ahead of her big day in her OK!Tina O'Brien & Bruno Langley Before dating Ryan, Tina in fact had been dating his on-screen brother Bruno Langley (aka Todd Grimshaw).Tina and Bruno had also been engaged in an on-screen relationship!online column, writing: "With all the planning that's gone into it, I want to be able to try and enjoy the day as much as we can."A lot of people who get married say that they hardly spoke to their husband on the day so I'd really like to try and get a few minutes with Sylvain where it's just us to be able to digest it all.
In last night's episode of Coronation Street, ongoing drama came to a head when Maria revealed Eva Price's (played by Catherine Tyldesley) fake pregnancy at the alter, having stormed in to put a stop to her wedding to Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward). "It's been brilliant, it's been a real treat and an honour. It's been a real honour for us all to be at the centre of it all.The pair dated for around a year before they called time on their relationship.The minute I looked at Aidan/Aiden in tonight's episode of Coronation Street, I knew I knew him, but couldn't place him at all.The pair dated for one year before they eventually split, but there must have been a few ugly moments on set after that all went down.Rob Mallard & Daniel Brocklebank Another Corrie duo who are currently dating are Rob Mallard who plays Daniel Osbourne on the show, and Daniel Brocklebank who plays the reverend, Billy Mayhew.

Jesus came to save souls—He gives the parable of the pounds—He rides in triumph into Jerusalem, weeps over the city, and cleanses the temple again.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the apress, because he was little of stature.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and areceived him joyfully.
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him afourfold.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to asave that which was blost.
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should aimmediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten apounds, and said unto them, bOccupy till I come.
14 But his acitizens hated him, and sent a bmessage after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these aservants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been afaithful in a very little, have thou bauthority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
21 For I afeared thee, because thou art an baustere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have arequired mine own with busury?
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one awhich hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the acolt, and they set Jesus thereon.
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and aglory in the highest.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the astones would immediately cry out.
44 And shall alay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one bstone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy cvisitation.
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the ahouse of prayer: but ye have made it a bden of thieves.
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Planning Commission Approves CIP Recommendations at March 11th Commission Meeting
And a Joint Briefing with the Sustainability Commission
On February 25, Planning staff presented recommendations for the six-year Capital Improvement Program and the upcoming fiscal year 2022 capital budget. Reports with these recommendations are now available on our website. On March 11th, the Planning Commission voted in favor of these recommendations. The next step in the CIP process will be the Board of Finance vote, for which the meeting date is yet to be determined. Watch this page to find out about future meetings for the ongoing CIP process.
Also at the March 11th meeting, the Sustainability Commission and Planning Commission hosted a joint briefing on the future of the Less Waste Better Baltimore Plan. During this briefing Department of Public Works staff shared that, through the plan, it could be possible for the city to reach a waste diversion rate of at least 83% by the year 2040. DPW hopes to achieve this through various initiatives and efforts aimed at increasing recycling rates in Baltimore.
Please find the agenda and minutes from the March 11th commission meeting linked on this page.
For any questions that you have on the process, priorities, or anything capital budget-related, you can email kristen.ahearn@baltimorecity.gov
Baltimore Designs Model to Pilot School-Centered Housing to Families
Over the past year, many local and national experts in the fields of affordable housing, family homelessness, education, and community schools developed a Baltimore-specific model for how affordable housing could be used as a lever to improve educational outcomes for elementary-aged children. SCHORE (School-Centered Housing Response Model) proposes that early intervention and ongoing support through an intentional partnership among the school, housing organizations, Baltimore City Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and direct support organizations will improve children's educational outcomes as well as life outcomes for the participating families.
How will this work? Baltimore City DHCD will partner with affordable housing providers to facilitate the rehabilitation and maintenance of properties near neighborhood schools, and Baltimore City Schools will identify the families of students in need of housing support. The partners intend to implement a pilot with three schools by the end of 2021. The schools, selected through a rigorous process described in the white paper, are Mary E. Rodman Elementary School, Cecil Elementary School, and Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary/Middle School.
This work was made possible by a grant from Fannie Mae to UPD Consulting to work in collaboration with Baltimore Housing and Community Development.To lead this work UPD Consulting was contracted by Fannie Mae to work with Baltimore City DHCD. Read the press release and download the white paper to learn more about how this collective effort employs the strengths of each of the partners.
Public Comment Period for Howard Street Tunnel Environmental Assessment
The United States Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration has completed the Howard Street Tunnel (HST) Project's Environmental Assessment in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Transportation and Maryland Port Administration. The assessment is available for public review and comment through March 30, 2021. The HST Project consists of capital improvements to CSX's rail line to allow double-stack trains (trains carrying shipping containers stacked on top of each other) to travel to and from the Port of Baltimore. The EA was conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Racheal Wilson Memorial Park Playground Coming Soon
The Racheal Wilson Memorial Park at 145 S. Calverton Road (a Baltimore Green Network pilot project), reached an important milestone this month. Our partner, the Baltimore Dept. of Recreation and Parks posted a sign indicating that the playground will be installed soon! Firefighter Racheal Wilson, who was the first female firefighter to die in the line of duty in Maryland, love playgrounds and would take her own children as well as foster children to different playgrounds to explore and enjoy. The residents of Boyd-Booth along with the Wilson family designed the park and have been working for the last 13 years to get the playground built. The playground is being funded by Project Open Space funding. The playground will have a firefighter theme.
Zoning Code Updates Continue
The Planning Department continues to work on updates to the Zoning Code. Our goal is to make sure the code is updated to changes in the City and that it works as intended. The changes fall into those two categories generally. These updates include the signage sections and parking sections as well as general updates and corrections, most of which were introduced to the City Council last year as City Council Bill # 20-0601. We held two public meetings to discuss the proposed changes on March 2, 2021. The presentation of those meetings is here.

An charming video is going viral this week showing a baby elephant trying to convince his human friend to come and play with him.
The video was shot at the Mae-Sa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Dan Daeng was trying to go about his normal work day at the camp, but a 1-year-old elephant named Khunsuk had other plans for him! Khunsuk desperately wanted to play, so he decided to try and distract Dan from his duties so that he would come and play with him.
The goal of the workers at the Mae-Sa Elephant Camp is to increase the population of elephants, who are endangered due to ivory poaching. The camp has a nursery where baby elephants can live with their mothers, so rest assured that Khunsuk is getting all of the love that he needs!
Video of Khunsuk's antics has quickly gone viral, as it's impossible to watch without eliciting a huge smile from viewers. The video serves as a reminder of just how important it is that we do everything we can to help elephants and ensure that their population does not decrease any further. The world would be a very sad place indeed if these beautiful creatures no longer exist!
