As a nurse, the days can be just as long as the nights when you are on the job. A music playlist just for nurses is the thing that will keep most nurses awake and moving. If the nursing station allows a little background noise, some tunes might be just the thing to keep everyone's spirits up!
Night Nurse by Gregory Isaacs: Nurses feel special and loved when they hear this song. Isaacs sings that he doesn't want a doctor; a nurse is "the only remedy" for him. He knows just how valuable a good nurse is.
Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees: Keep this song in mind should you ever need to perform CPR, it's got an uplifting beat that is sure to keep a nurse focused and moving. A nurse on a night shift may also want to play this tune if she wants some help staying awake for her nursing shift. This song needs to be on every nurses music playlist.
Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.: This song is a great reminder to those who are sick and those who are well that "everybody hurts sometimes" in life. If a nurse feels like giving up, all she has to do is play this song and she might not feel so alone anymore.
Fix You by Coldplay: For anyone who has ever lost someone after a long illness: This song is for them. A nurse knows that she cannot always "fix" someone who is dying from cancer or another type of disease. Ultimately, when the struggle is over, a nurse may still feel as if she didn't succeed. In that moment, she might find that it is okay to just let the light "guide them home".
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel: A nurse sees her patients at their worst. Sometimes, the nurse is the only friend around. This song is very calming and will comfort a patient who is either down or in pain. As a nurse, you have the power to ease your patient's mind with a soft, gentle voice or a calming hand upon their forehead.
Nurses need to help each other get through each and every day. Team work is the best way a nurse can show how much they care for their patients and one another. A little music can make for a light-hearted atmosphere, which can be encouraging to all.

Sävar bruk var ett järnbruk och sågverk i Sävar, Västerbotten. Det var ett av de viktigare bruken i Västerbotten. Sågverket var i drift 1787–1889 och järnbruket 1804–1865.

Sågverket
Ursprunget till Sävar bruk var den finbladiga vattensåg med två sågramar som bröderna Erik och Per Forssell 1787 fick tillstånd att anlägga vid Nykvarns- och Kallforsarna i Sävarån, strax nedströms Pålböleåns utlopp. Sågverksägarna fick tillstånd att avverka 800 träd från allmänningsskogar mot en avgift (stubböre) till Kronan. Bröderna Forssell hade dessutom redan innan rörelsen drogs igång sett till att köpa egna skogsfastigheter samt kommit överens med befolkningen i byarna längs Sävarån om årliga virkesleveranser. Gravmark förband sig att leverera 1 500 sågstockar, Tålsmark 500, Bullmark 600 och Botsmark 2 000. Endast furutimmer var intressant vid denna tid, och stockarna skulle vara minst sju alnar långa (drygt fyra meter) och nio tum (ca 22 cm) i diameter i den mindre änden.

Sävarån var vid denna tid inte iordningställd för flottning, vilket gjorde timmertransporterna besvärliga. Det tog två år att flotta timmer från åns övre delar ned till sågverket. Dessa besvärliga omständigheter gjorde att sågverksägarna inledningsvis fick sex års skattefrihet.

De färdigsågade bräderna och plankorna gick genom en vattenränna till en plats där virkets lades samman till stora buntar. Dessa flottades sedan ned till Skeppsvik vid Sävarfjärden utanför Sävaråns mynning, där en lastageplats hade anlagts. Där togs virket upp och lades på tork på Gergrundet.

Sågverket var i drift fram till 1889, då brädgården i Skeppsvik brann ned. Som mest uppgick produktionen till omkring 3 800 standards (knappt 18 000 kubikmeter) sågat virke.

Järnbruket
År 1804 fick bröderna Forssell tillstånd att komplettera sågverket i Sävar med ett järnbruk med stångjärnshammare och manufaktursmedja för tillverkning av spik, hästskor och hästskosöm. Eftersom det inte fanns några lokala järnfyndigheter fick man samtidigt rätt att upphandla 750 skeppund (127 ton) tackjärn från Bergslagen, närmare bestämt från Norberg och Västerbergslagen.Bruket placerades mitt emot sågverket, på södra sidan av ån.

Bröderna Forssell uppgav vid sin tillståndsansökan att man var innehavare av egna hemman med skogar som omfattade 4 406 tunnland (drygt 2 000 hektar) i Sävar, Gunnismark, Botsmark, Västerhiske, Tjälamark, Tålsmark, Tväråmark, Teg och Forstorp. Där skulle 607 stigar träkol kunna produceras årligen. Bönderna i trakten lovade att leverera ytterligare 1 100 stigar.

Produktionen av stångjärn var som högst åren 1852–1853 med drygt 9 000 skeppund (drygt 150 ton) per år. För järnmanufakturer var åren 1854–1857 bäst med en produktion på cirka 198 skeppund (34 ton) per år.

Från bruket transporterades järnvarorna ut till lastageplatsen i Skeppsvik ovanpå brädflottarna från sågverket.

En ny herrgård anlades vid bruket 1806 sedan den gamla brunnit ned. Den flyttades 1920 till hembygdsområdet Gammlia i Umeå där den går under namnet Sävargården.

Under finska kriget skövlades bruket av de ryska styrkorna 1809. Brukspatronen Eric Forssell anhöll om skattebefrielser för att kunna komma på fötter igen. Detta beviljades också, men det gick trögt för bruket under några år. Därefter expanderade firman genom att en tredjedel av Johannisfors bruk övertogs 1839. År 1859 hade Sävar bruk en stångjärnshammare med två härdar, en manufakturverkstad med två spikhamrar och en dubbel ässja. Antalet anställda vid stångjärnssmedjan uppgick vid denna tid till en mästare, tre svenner, två dränger och två "tillfälliga", medan två mästare och två drängar arbetade vid manufakturen.

Konkurs och försäljning
Verksamheten fortsatte dock att vara ekonomiskt bekymmersam, och 1862 inlämnades konkursansökan. I samband med detta avvecklades den rederiverksamhet som bedrivits i Skeppsvik. Bruket såldes tillsammans med sågverket och lastageplatsen i Skeppsvik till den engelska firman Hinde & Gladstone Ltd. Eric Forssell d.y. kvarstod som bruksförvaltare tills bruket lades ned 1865.

Därefter köptes rörelsen 1877 av Lars Peter Glas. Sedan han avlidit 1879 övergick bruket till hans bolag, Sandviks Ångsågs AB. Detta bolag övertog 1881 även Johannisfors bruk, som då fortfarande var i drift men som lades ned året därpå.

Sävars gamla bruksskogar omfattade på 1880-talet 300 000 hektar och ingick då i Sandviksbolagets Sävarförvaltning. Efter ytterligare ägarbyten tillhör dessa skogar numera Holmen Skog.

Lämningar
Rester av sågverket finns kvar på östra sidan av Sågforsen, mitt emot ett nuvarande sågverk i Sävar (raä Sävar 126:1). Ett senare anlagt kraftverk har dock kraftigt förändrat sågverksområdets utseende. Lämningar efter bruket finns på västra sidan om den närmaste forsen nedströms, på den plats som kallas för just Bruksbacken. Rester av dammbyggnationerna finns i Krypedalen (raä Sävar 28:1).

Q: Generating columns dynamically in the WPF DataGrid? <DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="First Name" Binding="{Binding FirstName}" />
  </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

In the above snippet the DataGrid columns are hard coded in the XAML.
Is it possible to have the column definitions be defined elsewhere, ideally in the MVVM View-Model, so that the columns can be defined and redefined on the fly?

A: Using the Microsoft DataGrid with the MVVM pattern in the following way works for me because the DataGrid automatically generates the columns based on a DataTable.
In XAML I include the DataGrid:
<WpfToolkit:DataGrid
    ItemsSource="{Binding Path=GridData, Mode=OneWay}" >
</WpfToolkit:DataGrid>

In my view model I expose a DataView:
public DataView GridData
{
  get
  {
    DataSet ds = new DataSet("MyDataSet");

    // everything hard-coded for this example
    int to = 12;
    int ps = 2048;
    string sv = "10";
    string st = "Open";
    string wsid = "ZAMBONI";

    DataTable dt = new DataTable("MyDataTable");
    DataColumn propertyName = new DataColumn("Property");
    DataColumn propertyValue = new DataColumn("Value");
    dt.Columns.Add(propertyName);
    dt.Columns.Add(propertyValue);
    dt.Rows.Add("Connection timeout", to);
    dt.Rows.Add("Packet size", ps);
    dt.Rows.Add("Server version", sv);
    dt.Rows.Add("State", st);
    dt.Rows.Add("Worksation id", wsid);
    ds.Tables.Add(dt);

    return ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
  }
}

A: You can do it by implementing ITypedList interface by your ItemsSource collection.
DataGrid will use PropertyDescriptors returned from ITypedList.GetItemProperties method to generate DataGridColumns automatically without any additional XAML by internally using DataGrid.GenerateColumns method.

A: of course it is possible.
i didn't think about it for more than 5 seconds but here is how you can do this:
1. define an attached property to the data grid that when set to true, you will register to the grid loaded event, when the event fires, you will extract his context from the sender parameter, than send him to a method that will fill him with the columns.

Soyauxia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Peridiscaceae. They are small trees or erect shrubs from wet forests of tropical West Africa. Eight specific names have been published in Soyauxia. Additional species have been discovered, but their names and descriptions will not be published until 2009 or 2010. The type species for the genus is Soyauxia gabonensis.

Soyauxia was long considered an anomaly and it has been variously classified by different authors, usually in Passifloraceae or in the defunct plant family Flacourtiaceae. The first molecular phylogenetic study to include Soyauxia placed it in Peridiscaceae. Its position within that family was determined in 2009.

Species
Soyauxia contains the following species (but this list may be incomplete or contain synonyms.):
 Soyauxia bipindensis, Gilg ex Baker f.
 Soyauxia floribunda, Hutchinson
 Soyauxia gabonensis, Oliv.
 Soyauxia glabrescens, Engler
 Soyauxia grandifolia, Gilg & Stapf
 Soyauxia ledermanii, Sleumer
 Soyauxia talbotii, Baker f.
 Soyauxia velutina, Hutchinson & Dalziel

History
The genus Soyauxia was named by Daniel Oliver in 1880, in a book whose final edition was entitled Hooker's Icones Plantarum. It was named for the German botanist and plant collector Hermann Soyaux.
Upon naming it, Oliver wrote

Oliver placed the new genus in Passifloraceae and described one species, Soyauxia gabonensis.

In 1953, John Brenan put Soyauxia in Medusandraceae, a family that he had established the year before. Brenan's classification was not generally followed by others, and John Hutchinson wrote a detailed account of why he thought that Soyauxia and Medusandra were not closely related.

In 2007, in the first comparison of DNA sequences to include Soyauxia, it was shown that Soyauxia is sister to a clade of two South American trees, Peridiscus and Whittonia. The authors recommended that Soyauxia be moved to Peridiscaceae. The position of Soyauxia within Peridiscaceae was clarified in 2009, with the inclusion of Medusandra in a phylogenetic study. In that study, it was shown that Brenan's concept of Medusandraceae is paraphyletic over Peridiscaceae sensu stricto, but that Brenan had been prescient in his perception of a relationship between Medusandra and Soyauxia. The authors recommended that Medusandra as well as Soyauxia be transferred to Peridiscaceae.

UK Investigating Obasanjo Foundation For Conflict Of Interest Since 2014
SaharaReporters investigation into this matter has revealed that the UK Charity Commission has had an open investigation on the OOF "assessing concerns including alleged conflicts of interest" since June 2014, according to a source at the Commission.
by Sahara Reporters, New York May 08, 2015
SaharaReporters investigation into the Obasanjo Foundation scandal has revealed that the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation (OOF) has been under investigation in the United Kingdom since June 2014.
Former Pres. Olusegun Obasanjo and Anne Welsh at a charity function in London The Obasanjo Foundation scandal was first revealed by SaharaReporters yesterday after a video recording of Anne Welsh, CEO of the OOF, plotting to launder money through the OOF for a fee of $900,000. The shocking video depicts Anne Welsh, a UK and Nigerian national, explaining how she has used the OOF as an illicit front to launder money. Mrs. Welsh discussed, quite extensively, the terms of laundering money into different accounts with two men identified as Lebanese businessmen who wanted launder money through the Foundation disguised as Ebola relief.
Mrs. Welsh stated in the video, even stating that "I had to go through training, through president Obasanjo, political training for one year to become discreet [in laundering money]."
She also brazenly stated that she deserves "at least 30% [of the laundered amount], think about the hard work I'm going to put into this, you will be so grateful to me."
Another official at the UK Charity Commission told a SaharaReporters correspondent that an investigation by the Commission "is the most serious process the Commission can undertake, and is the gateway to exercise powers under the UK Charity Act." This same official said, however, that acts of a serious criminal nature "would be investigated in collaboration with the UK police authorities."
SaharaReporters was assured that the Obasanjo Foundation scandal would receive serious consideration by the UK Charity Commission, which has already broadened its investigation.
Since the publication of SaharaReporters' report yesterday, Olusegun Obasanjo told members of the media that Anne Welsh has since been terminated as CEO. He also said that the OOF contacted the UK Charity Commission and the UK police in London regarding these revelations.
SaharaReporters reached out to Anne Welsh, but a representative told our correspondent that she would not be taking calls from the press at this time.

Mr. Cavuto must have known at least some of this when he raised the issue of the tainted donation. He appeared to be a little ashamed and reluctant to broach the issue. And when he did, he fell victim to one of the most thorough and humiliating forensic demolitions ever captured on film – an experience that must have been made all the more painful by the polite and earnest way in which Dr. Paul applied the scalpel.
Amen, William! I was cheering the whole time.
Will: Don't hold on to any hopes, even in jest, for the likes of Don Black (oh how he must hate his last name) or his twin, David Duke. There's plenty of reason to conjecture that he, and other salaried, career race-baiters, are employed as dupes and patsies by the same people that pull the strings of Neal Munster-Cavuto.
I never get enough of watching that clip. Cavuto was rather smug in bringing up the donation, then looked absolutely ill as Ron took him apart. He began stammering and then almost whimpering.
The entire reason to confront RP on the racist money accusation is simple.
Now that Russert had his 15 min. of fame with the doctor.. expect more headlines similiar. I already found one on CNN..
Brace yourselves, the media hate machine hasnt even started on RP yet.
How disappointing that the same lemmings who have finally seen the filthy lies of the MSM on the issue of Ron Paul, still swallow their lies on other issues - and then parrot back the alleged wickedness of patriots like Don Black and David Duke. Black is a patriot who supports the Contitution. He also opposes illegal immigration and AA. He's not afraid of mentioning the ethnicity of AIPAC and the MSM and the Fed and the neocons who are destroying the Republic. That makes him evil?
Get real. Black sent the donation because he loves the RP message. As do all other patriots.
Don't believe the lying MSM - judge for yourselves.
Will, I have been over this post a number of times and have yet to find an offensive photo. Did I mention I have been over it a number of times?
I'm still struggling to see which of the photos could be considered offensive ... perhaps the author would prefer the women pictured were wearing birkas instead of bras?
@grantland: In case you weren't aware, scientists have finished sequencing human DNA. It revealed many wondrous things, along with one rather unfortunate thing, for those with a racist world-view: WE ARE ALL IDENTICAL.
Race is little more than variations on the permanence of one's tan; racism has been relegated to the ideological trash heap. It is a dead issue, not to be spoken of in the presence of thinking people.
It is a real pleasure to read your columns. Your blog has now become my favorite stop after I'm done devouring Mr. Rockwell's website.
I may not agree with everything you say, but I love reading it no less. Intellectually stimulating and thought provoking.
Once again, a real pleasure.
I think the main point is being missed. Regardless of what you think of Don Black, or anyone else, isn't Don an AMERICAN, too!? Doesn't he have the same rights as other Americans? Or, are his RIGHTS nullifide by opinions he holds which are different from ours? Isn't his right to opinions, his right to vote, campaign, send money, and all other rights we are guaranteed EXACTLY what the words FREEDOM and LIBERTY are all about? Likewise, isn't it Ron Paul's RIGHT to accept money from anyone he wants without explanations? Doesn't the LOONY LEFT accept donations from groups we would find contemptable? I don't hear Cavuto - or anyone else - railing against Hillary's donations, most of which come from the most bloodthirsty organizations on earth!
I can't watch Cavuto's show. It often makes me sick (no pun intended).
Neil should have just turned in his resignation after that one.
Of the two people on the screen during Cavuto's interview with Ron Paul, only one was promoting the cause of white supremacy.
Don Black and other white supremacists don't donate to campaigns like Ron Paul's to advance Ron Paul's agenda. They donate to it to get thousands of dollars in free publicity.
Neil Cavuto obliged Black, giving Black publicity that would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to purchase in straight-out advertising ... for a mere $500.
Well anon, I don't know whether you are a troll, or wilfully ignorant, or just deluded. You are utterly wrong, of course. The mean IQ in, say, Zimbabwe, is 66. No that's not a typo. Google microcephalin to find out why.
i agree with eddlem...i never even heard of Don Black until neil thrust him into the spotlight...he was a mere speck buried under $18 million until these MSM idiots opened their mouths...im sure many people visited Don's website after Neil's interview..
This post might not "get through" because it's 6:31pm EST Christmas Eve right now, but I'll post anyway.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas, Will! I also hope your wife will be able to join you and the kiddies at home or, if not, at the very least y'all can spend some quality time at the Krankenhaus with her, ya hear?
Tom Eddlum said "Don Black and other white supremacists don't donate to campaigns like Ron Paul's to advance Ron Paul's agenda. They donate to it to get thousands of dollars in free publicity." Now Tom, that's not necessarily so. How do you know WHY Black donated money? Besides, you make it sound like this was some grand scheme by Black to gain free publicity. Doesn't it, likewise, occur to you that maybe Black is NOT the "evil" dude he's made out to be and simply likes some of the values Paul espouses?
Only Black's enemies lable him "evil" without knowing anything more about the guy other than his assertions on race and culture. I know Leftists whose ideas are as repellent to me as Black's are to others. Does that necessarily make them BAD PEOPLE? I give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they PROVE to me to be undeserving. The main thing is that Black is an American along with the rest of us and his choices are his right. I detest all people who would assert otherwise and undermine true Liberty!
@grantland: In case you weren't aware, scientists have finished sequencing human DNA. It revealed many wondrous things, along with one rather unfortunate thing, for those with a racist world-view: WE ARE ALL IDENTICAL. Race is little more than variations on the permanence of one's tan;" Well, in fact none of this is true. Although it is true that human populations share roughly 99.9 percent of their genes, it is also true that humans share over 98 percent of their genes with chimpanzees, and a very high amount with animals like mice and dogs. Are you suggesting dogs, chimpanzees, and humans are "all the same"?
Not at all true. Did you know that scientists can run an analysis on blood left at a crime scene, and use the results to inform the police the racial makeup of the suspect?
Typical FOX. They were just about to pull the plug on Ron Paul. Did you notice the dismissiveness at the end of it. "OK" "unhuh" All we needed was Roger Ailes' feed saying "Cut It"

    openDialog('#dialog');

  })
});

function openDialog(selector) {
  $(selector)
    .clone()
    .appendTo('#overlay')
    .show()
    .parent()
    .fadeIn('fast');
  }

function closeDialog(selector) {
  $(selector)
    .parents('#overlay')
    .fadeOut('fast', function() {
       $(this)
         .find('.dialog')
         .remove();
       });
}

The html snippet:

     Close Dialog

The full code is here: https://gist.github.com/sfcarroll/4739040

A: Since everyone else is applying the event on the selector instead of the object I thought I'd go about it differently.
The problem is that you add the event to the original html, but when you clone the html you don't copy the event's with it. add a true as argument and you should be set:
function openDialog(selector) {
  $(selector)
    .clone(true)
    .appendTo('#overlay')
    .show()
    .parent()
    .fadeIn('fast');
  }

see the docs

A: You should try :
$('body').on('click', '.dialog .ok', function() {
    console.log("ok clicked");
    closeDialog(this);
  })
});

A: This code
$('#dialog').find('.ok')
  .on('click', function() {
    console.log("ok clicked");
    closeDialog(this);
  })
});

bind event to existing html nodes. It is called before your new #dialog are created, thus these new #dialog doesn't have a callback called on the click on their .ok. The reason is that .clone doesn't clone the event  bound on the cloned element.
Use a delegate handle, like this :
$(document).on('#dialog .ok', 'click', function () {
  // Your click handler here
});

A: You are setting your .on on the button itsself. It should be on a parent so it can catch the click it as it bubbles up. Try:
$(document).on('click', '#dialog .ok', function() {
    console.log("ok clicked");
    closeDialog(this);
  })
});

A: In your openDialog function you are cloning the dialog and thus creating a new instance of it. You would either have to bind to the click event afterwards or use $('#dialog .ok').live('click', data, handler); to have it bound to new DOM elements.

A: $(document).ready(function(){
  $('#dialogOpen').click(function() {
    console.log("link clicked");
    openDialog('#dialog');
  });

});

function openDialog(selector) {
  $(selector)
    .clone()
    .appendTo('#overlay')
    .show()
    .parent()
    .fadeIn('fast');

    $('#dialog').find('.ok')
  .on('click', function() {
    console.log("ok clicked");
    closeDialog(this);
  });

}

function closeDialog(selector) {
  $(selector)
  .parents('#overlay')
  .fadeOut('fast', function() {
    $(this)
      .find('.dialog')
      .remove();
  });
}

DEMO
Intially you had applied .dialog class to #dialog div, which contains display:none CSS , so intially DOM will not have that div on which you can bind event, so it was not firing.


My process of photography varies from digital to film. But one of my favorite ways of taking photographs is on paper.
I have been shooting large format for several years, but just recently began shooting photos on darkroom print paper and I love it! This medium of photography offers a look that is hard to achieve any other way. The images have lots of depth and contrast yet retain a full spectrum of grey tones.
I find that this process creates its own ingredients of mood and depth to add to my images.
5×7 Eastman View Camera NO. 33A, made in the turn of the century.
Taylor Taylor & Hobson Lens, patented in 1895.
This uses a Packard Shutter and is controlled by an air bulb. Related to the bulb function on modern cameras. How fast you squeeze the bulb is how fast you operate the shutter.
Images are made on fiber based silver gelatin photo negative paper. I hand cut the paper to fit into the film holders.
Once the image is made, I take the film holder to my darkroom and develop the photograph the same way I make prints from film. This gives me a negative on paper which I scan and invert in Photoshop.
Very cool, but the only pic that's good was the old man portrait . you sure you're a pro?

Milkweeds and Monarchs: A Crucial Connection
By: Mark Gormel, Horticultural Coordinator
As an organization long concerned with art and environment the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art campus landscape has always displayed plant species which are native to this region – both because much of the artwork created in the Brandywine Valley portrayed these native species, and because of the ecological fitness these species provide.
The Truth in the Landscape
When those earliest painters were working in Chadds Ford the landscapes they depicted were largely made up of native species and not by so many of the aggressive non-native species that have become so very common today that most folks think they've always been here. The landscape looked very different then, and it was different on an ecological level, too. Over many thousands of years the native species of any region co-evolve within the regional soil types, the seasonal patterns of rainfall, flooding, humidity and temperature extremes, and they also co-evolve with the regional wildlife – each [plants & animals] becoming co-dependent upon the other in the process. As we have altered our landscapes we've adjusted the ability of plants and creatures to rely on one another in the way that they evolved to.
With the Milkweeds Go the Monarchs
Case in point is one of North America's most iconic representations of natural beauty – the Monarch Butterfly. The monarch is entirely dependent on a single type of plant: milkweed. There are numerous types of milkweeds, but milkweed plants are the only food source that immature monarchs, caterpillars, can feed upon and grow upon. A female monarch butterfly seeks out milkweed species upon which to lay her eggs. The resulting caterpillars eat the leaves and flowers of that milkweed plant. When those caterpillars become large enough to metamorphose into adults they will no longer eat plant tissue but will instead sip nectar out of the flowers of many different types of plants, including those of milkweeds. Milkweed plants are essential for the survival of monarchs – no other plant species works. Naturally occurring populations of milkweed plants have become scarce and harder and harder for female monarchs to find. Because of this, and other factors, the overall number of monarchs is presently at an alarmingly low level – possibly down by as much as 90% of previous population levels!
For much more info on the life and plight of the monarch see both of these links:

http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2015/01/plan-save-monarch-butterflies-backfires
How We're Fighting for the Monarchs
Recently, in a space behind our Membership and Development Offices, directly north of our Station Way Road entrance to the campus, we've begun phase one of a planting effort specifically intended to support and draw further attention to the monarch, a project we're calling the Monarch Migration Station. Within this space we'll plant high densities of milkweed species, first targeting those that were quite common in our area (Asclepias incarnata, Swamp Milkweek; Asclepias tuberosa, Butterflyweed; and Asclepias syriaca, Common Milkweed) and then later experiment with species that historically have been here in smaller numbers. We'll also plant other species that are terrific nectar sources for monarchs, thereby providing food for both young and old [caterpillars and adults] and include a selection of warm season grasses in order to develop better habitat structure and provide an attractive winter presence.
This is Just the Beginning
The milkweeds and grasses we planted in Phase 1 have traveled full circle in our organization. Our garden volunteers collected and cleaned the seeds of milkweeds and grasses growing in our Chadds Ford gardens and meadows; those seeds were grown into plants by our staff at the Penguin Court Greenhouse.
Small But Mighty and 700 Strong
Nearly seven hundred plants went into the ground in Phase 1. Despite the heat and drought the plants are growing well due to a temporary irrigation system which will be removed next year. After this season none of those plants will require supplemental irrigation from us – they'll simply keep on doing what native plants have been doing for so many thousands of years: growing, flowering, looking beautiful, and feeding all those who live in our landscape as well as those who derive meaning and inspiration from it.

Xigmatek intros a new low-profile cooler.
If you're looking for a low-profile, yet quite capable CPU cooler, Xigmatek has just revealed something that might catch your eye. The Prodigy ST1266 is designed for today's high-end mainstream desktop CPU, even though it might not look the part. Boasting an overall height of just 67 mm (fan included), this is cooler would fit in most PC cases out there. Moreover, it can handle thermal loads of up to 150W, which is not bad at all. This means that it can keep in check modern-day CPUs such as the Core i7-8700K and the Ryzen 7 1800X. As far as sockets are concerned, it is compatible with LGA2066, LGA2011(v3), LGA115x, AM4, AM3(+), and FM2(+).
What about design and build quality?
The conventional C-type, top-flow layout is nothing too special these days. However, there are six 6mm-thick copper heat pipes that connect directly to the CPU at the base. Moreover, the base doubles up as a small aluminum mono-block heatsink. The heatpipes do a fine job at leading heat towards an aluminum fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 15 mm-thick 120 mm fan. Speaking of the fan, it spins between 800 and 1,500 RPM, and it can push out 56.9 CFM of air. As for the noise levels, the maximum output is 22.4 dBA.
The Prodigy ST1266 CPU cooler by Xigmatek measures in at 126 mm x 120 mm x 67 mm. No word on pricing just yet, but considering its performance and practicality, it probably won't come cheap.

Stars rock the globe for climate change
EAST RUTHERFORD, N J, July 8 (Reuters) Some of the world's biggest pop stars from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Madonna and The Police played Live Earth concerts worldwide to urge fans and governments to fight global warming.
Tens of thousands partied at concerts in Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hamburg, Johannesburg, London, Washington, New Jersey and Rio de Janeiro to hear Bon Jovi, James Blunt, Linkin Park and Shakira and many other performers.
Spearheaded by environmentalist and former US vice president Al Gore, the concerts spanned over 22 hours, ending at Rio's Copacabana beach and a New Jersey football stadium.
''You are Live Earth,'' Gore told the crowd at New Jersey's Giants Stadium, on a stage made with recycled tires.
With hand raised as if taking an oath, Gore took the seven-point pledge he wants others to endorse, binding them to cut carbon emissions and to lobby governments and employers to do more to save the planet.
''Today two billion of us have come together in over 130 countries on seven continents,'' Gore said to cheers. ''Times like these demand action: please sign the Live Earth pledge.'' Pop idol Madonna ended the show at London's Wembley stadium with a set including ''Hey You,'' written for Live Earth, while screens behind her flashed images of environmental disasters.
Madonna thanked Gore, ''for giving the world the wake-up call it so badly needs and for starting an avalanche of awareness that we are running out of time.'' The New Jersey show had political moments. Roger Waters, running through hits from his Pink Floyd days including ''Money'' and ''Another Brick in the Wall,'' displayed an image of US President George W Bush aboard an aircraft carrier in 2003 under a ''Mission Accomplished'' banner to signal the end of major combat in Iraq, drawing loud boos from the crowd.
And as The Police played ''Message in a Bottle,'' rapper Kanye West joined the band on stage and rapped the lyrics ''We need some new leaders to follow ... Al Gore's got my vote.'' Following the model of 1985's Live Aid and Live 8 in 2005, Live Earth hopes to reach up to two billion people through radio, television and the Internet.
There has been widespread cynicism among music fans, campaigners and fellow rockers about the role of pop music, renowned for Learjets and limousines, to promote green living.
Backstage in New Jersey, singer KT Tunstall said the first year sales of her debut CD generated 650 million tonnes of carbon emissions but she has tried to partially offset that huge carbon footprint through the planting of 6,000 trees.
THE DEVIL AND CHIMPANZEES At Wembley, Corinne Bailey Rae sang ''Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology),'' Marvin Gaye's 1971 environment classic, also played by Alicia Keys in New Jersey. In London, mock rockers Spinal Tap reunited to perform ''Warmer Than Earth,'' in which the Devil complains about high temperatures in Britain.
Among the stranger moments was primatologist Jane Goodall telling the New Jersey crowd, ''I'm going to start by giving you the greeting of the chimpanzee'' before mimicking the animals she has lived with and studied since 1960.
Gore wants world leaders to sign a treaty by 2009 to cut global warming pollution by 90 per cent in rich nations and more than half worldwide by 2050.
His Oscar-winning documentary on global warming ''An Inconvenient Truth'' and now the Live Earth campaign have only added to chatter that the man who lost the 2000 election to Bush might mount a fresh White House bid, despite his statements that he has no plans to do so.
A plane flew over the stadium towing a banner that read ''DRAFTGORE.COM,'' apparently hoping to convince Gore to run.
Not everybody has has supported the concerts. Bob Geldof, the man behind Live Aid and Live 8, argues the world is already aware of global warming and the event lacked a ''final goal.'' But many concert goers defended the gigs.
''We could do a lot more for the environment, but I suppose we're lazy,'' teenager Robyn Raymond said in Johannesburg.
About 30,000 people in Hamburg enjoyed performances by Yusuf, formerly known as Cat Stevens, and Shakira, despite rain. German comedian Elton joked about the bad weather: ''We're here to fight against global warming in such crap weather.'' The Shanghai concert was seen as key to Live Earth's success, after the International Energy Agency said China could become the top emitter of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, as early as this year, a claim disputed by officials.
The free Rio show, almost canceled over security concerns, drew as many as 600,000 peaceful attendees. Near the stage, revelers in bikinis and swimsuits frolicked in the surf.
In Antarctica the previously unknown band Nunatak played for 17 fellow researchers, allowing Gore to keep his promise to hold concerts on seven continents on the date 7/7/7.
''Thank you for coming to Live Earth,'' Gore said as the series of concerts ended in New Jersey. ''Harness the energy in your heart and help us solve the climate crisis.'' REUTERS GL KP0922

4 ways to manage retirement health care costs
Date: September 9, 2021, 2:00
Health care in retirement is a big-ticket item. Experts estimate that an average 65-year-old retired couple in 2021 would need about $300,000 in after-tax savings earmarked for health care costs in their post-work life, even with Medicare, according to Fidelity.
The totals are daunting, but you can take steps to keep costs as low as possible with the right planning, good insurance choices and a healthy understanding of your conditions and coverage. Try these strategies — now and in retirement — to help control your health care bills.
1. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN HSA
A health savings account allows you to put pretax money away for medical expenses. You can invest the funds, and both the principal and earnings are tax-free if you use them for eligible medical costs, today or in the future. This creates a powerful savings tool.
To use an HSA, you must have a high-deductible health plan. If that kind of plan makes sense for you, experts recommend saving money to your HSA and leaving it untouched for as long as possible. In 2021, you can save up to $3,600 pretax as a single person or up to $7,200 if you have family coverage.
"These accounts are the most tax-efficient plans available," says Sallie Mullins Thompson , a certified public accountant and certified financial planner in New York City. "The main thing you need to do is contribute to it religiously whenever you can."
2. MAKE A PLAN FOR LONG-TERM CARE
A person turning 65 today has about a 70% chance of needing long-term care at some point, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. One of the best ways to approach this issue is to plan for it: How long do you intend to stay in your home? Where will you go when you can't live there anymore? Who will help you with financial and health care decisions?
"People don't like talking about it because it's uncomfortable thinking about getting old and people taking care of you," says Carolyn McClanahan, a physician-turned-CFP in Jacksonville, Florida. But planning can help you prepare for a change in circumstances.
This could mean buying a traditional long-term care insurance policy, which can cost thousands of dollars per year, according to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. Or you might consider a hybrid insurance product that combines permanent life insurance with a long-term care rider. (You can use the benefit to pass money down to your heirs or — if you need it — you can tap it for long-term care expenses.)
You could also self-insure by setting money aside annually for long-term care expenses. The important thing is to consider your options while you're in your 50s or early 60s, before products get too expensive.
3. GET THE RIGHT MEDICARE PLAN
Choosing the best Medicare policy once you turn 65 means finding one that includes your preferred doctors and your regular medications, helping you avoid high out-of-network and out-of-pocket costs. You'll also need to consider whether you want access to all doctors who accept Medicare — as with an Original Medicare plan — or whether you want a plan that comes with extra benefits but a more limited provider network, such as a Medicare Advantage plan.
One way to approach Medicare is to find an agent who can help you compare options. Find someone who's certified to sell as many carriers as possible, meaning they'll be able to present the full array of choices in your area, says Matt Chancey, a CFP in Tampa, Florida.
Be an active participant in your health care, no matter what life stage you're in. When your medical provider orders tests, which can drive up your medical costs, make sure you understand why they're being done.
"Say to them, 'What do you hope to learn from this, and is doing this going to change the treatment?'" McClanahan says. "It's important to do that, because a lot of times, doctors order things rotely. It's part of their protocol and they don't stop and think, 'Is it really needed in this case?'"
The same goes for prescriptions. Ask your doctor whether there's something less expensive you could take, or whether there are changes you could make that would help. "A lot of doctors won't spend the time talking about lifestyle changes, so they throw pills at people," McClanahan says. "You can avoid a lot of medications just by doing the right thing."

As vaping catches on, N.J. lawmaker seeks steady funding for anti-smoking efforts
Phil Gregory
(Emma Lee/WHYY)
A New Jersey lawmaker has introduced legislation that would dedicate 5 percent of the revenue from the state's cigarette tax to anti-smoking programs.
Funds for smoking-cessation programs has been eliminated from the state budget for five years, said Assemblyman Tim Eustace, D-Bergen.
"It's about time we got back to it," he said. "Youngsters are actually the population that is growing with the vaping, not necessarily with cigarettes, but it's important to talk about any sort of smoking cessation."
The legislation would provide about $33 million a year for anti-smoking efforts.
Ethan Hasbrouck with the American Cancer Society said that could have a big effect.
"New Jersey could realize a 6.5 percent decrease in New Jersey's youth smoking rate, over 6,000 fewer kids growing up to die prematurely from smoking, and about a $367 million decrease in future health care expenditures," he said.
Karen Blumenfeld, executive director of the smoke-free advocacy group GASP, said funding those programs would have long-term benefits.
"New Jersey actually spends $3 billion a year in health care costs related to smoking," she said. "So, not only is it important from the standpoint of public health to help people live a healthier life, but from a fiscal standpoint it makes perfect sense."
Use of e-cigarettes by young people has tripled in a year without state-funded programs in place to discourage them from using tobacco, Blumenfeld said.

Adrian Cox - Building a personal mythologyWords by Claudia Luque
Adrian Cox
Building a personal mythology
Los Angeles-based artist Adrian Cox has always been a creative person, but he went for painting because of its conceptual and material aspects. However, what he really fell in love with was the medium's possibility to tell stories and create an ever-expanding universe. Creating a world populated by hybrid beings called the Border Creatures that live in a kind of post-human utopia, Cox explores through myth the significance of the world around us, making connections to fundamental human desires and flaws.
"My practice is a constant journey of material exploration and discovery," he tells us. Willing to continue exploring the world of these hybrid beings – and, at the same time, our own – he worked on Into the Spirit Garden, his most recent exhibition at Corey Helford gallery in Los Angeles, which picks up where his last solo exhibition, Terra Incognita, left off, offering the viewer a new chapter of the Border Creatures story. We talk with him during lockdown to deepen into his very particular world, get to know better his mythology, and wonder where will it go next.
For those who don't know your work yet, who is Adrian Cox and what is your background?
I'm a painter based out of Los Angeles, California, and I use my work to tell stories. Everything that I paint is part of an ongoing personal mythology that I have been crafting for the past nine years. My paintings are populated by hybrid beings that I call Border Creatures. These characters are the protagonists of my work, and their world is a kind of post-human utopia. They live in a heavily forested landscape called the Borderlands and share a symbiotic link with the natural world.
Each exhibition serves as a new chapter in their story. The lore in my paintings is fairly dense at this point, and I don't necessarily expect viewers to follow the narrative in a linear way. Rather, I want people to sift through these scraps of myth in order to piece together something meaningful. I'm essentially asking viewers to step into the role of an archaeologist.
Your name is inevitably linked to art, but have you always considered yourself a creative person? What is the thing that attracted you the most from painting?
I've been a creative person all of my life, but painting is the medium that allowed me to focus my creative energy and truly commit to understanding my craft. I'm fascinated by the abstract qualities of paint. There's poetry in the way that a single brushstroke can become infinitely suggestive, or how the transparency of paint can affect a viewer on both a psychological and optical level. For me, the conceptual and material aspects of painting are part of a continuous whole, so my approach to craft tends to evolve alongside my ideas. My practice is a constant journey of material exploration and discovery.
You are currently living and working in Los Angeles, the city where you were also presenting the Into the Spirit Garden exhibition. From your experience, what's your opinion about the art world in the sun-drenched city and how do you think it fosters/fuels your own creativity and practice?
I moved to Los Angeles in 2018. Although I'm still fairly new to the city, I've found the art scene here to be truly inspiring. From small artist-run spaces to blue-chip galleries, there's an incredible variety of work being made and exhibited here. So many cultural niches exist under the umbrella of 'the Los Angeles art world'. In particular, I enjoy moving between high and low culture, and there seems to be a hunger for both in this city. I draw on everything for inspiration!
It's also fantastic living in the heart of the film and music industries. Everything adds to the creative landscape of the city, and collaborative opportunities are everywhere. I recently made a tour poster for the band Tool, which allowed me to show my artwork in a radically different context. There's an intense energy that comes from connecting to these other pockets of creative culture. It all feeds into my studio practice.
Before the lockdown started, you were exhibiting your work in an exhibition titled Into the Spirit Garden. In relation to your previous proposals, which elements are new?
Into the Spirit Garden picks up where my last solo exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery, Terra Incognita, left off. In my last show, I introduced antagonistic spirits called Specters. The Specters terrorized the Border Creatures and burned the landscape of the Borderlands wherever they went. Terra Incognita concluded with the Border Creatures triumphing over the Specters and transforming many of them into rainbow-hued spirits. Into the Spirit Garden follows a former Specter's quest for redemption and spiritual progression. Ultimately, this character is transfigured through the power of empathy and the bonds of community. The show also follows the remaining blue Specters as they continue their quest to conquer and destroy the world of the Border Creatures.
In the exhibition, you explore relationships between human beings, but you do it with a strong spiritual and mythological backdrop. Where does the interest in this union come from? How do mythology and spirituality inform your artistic practice as well as your personal life?
I've found myth to be a framework that's endlessly adaptable. It's a narrative structure that allows me to process and reflect on our current moment in history, while also making connections to fundamental human desires and flaws. Unlike allegorical painting, mythic painting isn't moralizing or reductive in any way. It's a maximalist approach to constructing meaning. This works well for me since I've never liked boiling my work down to any single essential element.
I've also always had a strong personal interest in science fiction, folklore and world mythology. I think that each of these forms of storytelling satisfies similar human impulses. Myth is one of the means by which we give structure and significance to the world around us. We even tend to think of our own lives in somewhat mythic terms; the stories of our personal struggles and triumphs are a kind of saga to us. More specifically, science fiction tends to be an incredibly aspirational form of mythic storytelling. It's a way of envisioning the progression or transformation of humanity. It helps us understand our current moment by looking forward. I wouldn't necessarily label my own work as being solidly 'science fiction' or 'myth' in a classical sense, but I'm fascinated by the function that these kinds of stories serve on a spiritual level.
I guess your highly detailed pieces require a great amount of time, concentration and even loneliness. Do you feel like painting is a spiritual activity in itself?
Certainly, at times. There are moments in the studio when painting becomes an intensely meditative process. But much of the time it's just labour, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think that the spiritual act is less in the process itself and more in the aspiration to overcome one's own limitations. There's beauty in the undertaking and it satisfies something much more profound than the ego. It's the drive to create something that could inspire wonder. I view the end result of this as a kind of spiritual communion with a viewer. An exhibition is an opportunity to share a sense of wonder with a complete stranger.
You've said a few times that one of your inspirations has been your personal experience of growing up closeted. Can you tell us in which ways has this experience of self-repression influenced your work? I see some ghosts in rainbow sheets, or one main character circled by a beautiful rainbow. How is painting a process to express your queerness?
I grew up in Georgia, which is in the deep south of the United States. The city that I'm from has since become more suburban, but it was very rural when I was a child. As you can imagine, this meant that the dominant culture was extremely conservative and hostile to social outsiders. Since one of my mothers is transgender, my family lived closeted as a matter of safety. While I personally identify as straight and cisgender, my understanding of gender and sexuality was at odds with the world outside of my home.
During this time, storytelling was a means of creating a false and heteronormative illusion of my home life. In my paintings, I occasionally make overt symbolic references to these experiences. But I also see them as fundamental to my artistic practice as a whole. These experiences are the foundation upon which my values are built. They're why I'm driven to make work that beautifies and heroicizes subjects that are undeniably other. I'm still a storyteller. But instead of spinning falsehoods, I'm creating myths in which everything begins and ends with empathy for those unlike ourselves.
One of the pieces of Into the Spirit Garden is Spirit Gardener, a colourful human-like being composed of natural elements such as flowers. Could you tell more about this specific piece, which I guess gives name to the exhibition? Why is it central to the show?
Spirit Gardener is a new character in my world. In the narrative of this exhibition, a former Specter embarks on a quest for redemption from their violent past. In a final moment of absolution, this character is transformed into Spirit Gardener, who is a new Border Creature. I wanted this character's journey to follow the inverse of a typical transcendence narrative. Rather than spiritually progressing by severing earthly connections, this character is redeemed by creating bonds to the world around them. I imagined this as a dissolution of ego through empathy. A softening of the boundaries between an individual and the people and things around them. It's a fairly specific way of thinking about spiritual progression, but one that felt right for our current moment.
You've managed to create your own artistic language with your unique way of painting, but have you always been able to trust your vision? What has helped you the most in trusting your practice?
I've always felt the need to experiment and take risks in my work, and I'm often uncertain of what the outcome will be. I don't always have absolute faith in what I'm making, but I'm sure most artists feel the same way. It can sometimes feel like I'm leaping into the void with only a vague idea of how I'm going to land on my feet. When I'm searching for the courage to take this leap, I turn to the things that I love in art history, film, literature, and contemporary art. Even if I'm uncertain of my next move in the studio, I know that I can trust my love for these aspects of culture.
I also rely on the artistic community around me. When I'm trying out new ideas or imagery in my work, I often turn to my peers for feedback. Sometimes this takes the form of a studio visit, and sometimes it's a text chain with a painter on the opposite side of the country. These exchanges help me understand my own creative impulses and ultimately play a critical role in shaping the work that I make.
To finish the interview, in addition to reopening your exhibition when the Covid-19 situation ends, what are your plans for the future?
Unfortunately, Into the Spirit Garden will no longer be on view when quarantine ends in California. However, I'm already starting work for my next solo exhibition at Corey Helford Gallery, which will open in the autumn of 2021. I also have a solo exhibition coming up this November at Beinart Gallery in Melbourne, Australia.

* Why don't we feel excited when we learn something new?
* Why don't we admit in front of colleagues, friends, family that we don't know something and wish to learn it?
* Why have we stopped asking questions, remember when we were young, we had so many questions to ask, as we grew older and older, we tend to ask fewer and fewer questions. Are we ashamed of being ridiculed or just that we know too much?
* Why don't we appreciate others for their good and celebrate with them in their joy more often.
* Why don't we go to friends' house, without calling beforehand?
* Why do we send text messages to our spouses telling "I LOVE YOU", when we can say it in as many words.
* Why don't we appreciate our kids' low marks as a sign of learning rather than being left out of the competition?
* Why do we wear mask in front of others, when we know that they know it's a mask (a mask interacting to a mask).
It has not been hard over the past few weeks to pick out the negative or critical of the HR function, especially when it comes to leadership development. The 2008/9 DDI Global Leadership Forecast1, which surveyed over 13,000 HR professionals and business leaders throughout the world, found that "leadership development is going nowhere fast." This is compounded by further observations that include decreasing confidence in senior leaders who lack basic skills from 47% in 99 to 35% in 07 for senior leaders and from 42% to 25% for front line leaders.
The survey also finds that organizations are poor at leadership selection, have ineffective talent identification programmes and poor succession planning. A further alarming tendency highlighted in this survey is that HR and managers are locked in a spiraling circle of blame as each blames the other for failures in leadership development. Where development programmes do exist there is a lack of effective measurement of their impact.
This focus on quantifying the HR impact is a common theme these days; however the difficulty in linking or measuring the impact of strategy on performance is highlighted by Kim Warren 2, who hits the nail on the head by stating that this will not be possible until the influence of intangibles on performance is fully understood.
I am completing one year in Saudi Arabia next month, thought I shall share my thoughts and my success with all my friends and family members who have made this transition possible. More importantly, how did I fare on my Intellectual Capital, Financial Capital & Happiness Capital is described below.
Intellectual Capital (IC): One the biggest gain for me this year has been going thru Strengths' Finder test from Gallup series. This has enlightened me about my strengths (while I knew of some of them) and how do I put them in real use (thanks to Naveen, for being my coach). Working on Managers' Development Process (designing, developing and implementing the competency based leadership development initiatives, development centers etc.,) has been a fulfilling effort for me. Also meeting people from different parts of the world in ALJ has opened my mind to different cultures and styles of working.
Financial Capital (FC): Well generally I tend to ignore the FC whenever I take up a new role for the meat of the role. I ended up clearing all my backlogs with the job in hand and that made my mind lighter and pocket heavier. I will be saving for my son's education and our winter days this year onwards (my wife and parents will be happy to know that).
Happiness Capital (HC): I have always been happy in each and every job assignment that I have done. The joy of seeing work being appreciated by one and all after all the hard work is something I cherish during my Managers' Development Process Development Centers execution. I have seen my son grow older and naughtier by 1year.
While I miss my Bangalore, my family, friends I am happy to have spent more time with my Wife and Son, being here, than back home where I would have had to spend time in office and trainings.
What about things not gone right? Well when I landed in this country, the initial 3 months were very crucial for me get settled down fast. While I didn't get to do what I was hired far, but the work I am doing so far has been like a blessing in disguise.
I also had plans of setting up some sort of charitable institution to build guest houses for poor in a Ganesha Temple near Mangalore, couldn't progress much in that direction.
On a concluding note, I have grown as a matured individual, as a doting father, as a loving husband and a dutiful son in this last one year. I will cherish this and will have to be really thankful to all the support, guidance, wishes I have received by one and all in this journey.

'Today' Star Hoda Kotb Got Very Real on Instagram After Revealing Her Weight Loss Plan
She and Jenna Bush Hager are trying intermittent fasting.
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager weighed themselves on the fourth hour of the Today show on Monday and announced that they are trying intermittent fasting.
Hoda shared a very relatable Instagram post a day after the weigh in.
Hoda Kotb is so wonderfully relatable when it comes to the struggle of trying to eat better.
During Monday's fourth hour of the Today show, Hoda and her fellow co-host Jenna Bush Hager stepped on a scale while announcing their intent to try out intermittent fasting, a popular weight-loss diet among celebrities that asks you to restrict when and how much you eat during a specific period of time. The pros and cons of the plan have been hotly debated in the nutrition world, but if there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that you should consult with your doctor first before giving it a go.
To launch their experiment, Hoda and Jenna tried out each other's scales to make sure the numbers they were seeing were accurate. Hoda's weight was recorded at 158 pounds, while Jenna's scale read 171 pounds.

What You Need to Know About Intermittent Fasting
A day after revealing her weight on the show, Hoda posted a video of herself sweating it out on a stair machine at the gym. In that same post, though, she also shared a picture of an Oreo cookie and wrote in the caption, "Me yesterday: HEY: 158 lbs ... I am coming for you! Me after workout: swipe [to the cookie picture]."
To show solidarity, Hoda's fans penned encouraging and hilarious words to the NBC morning show anchor. "I'm with ya, girl!! 🍪🤣❤👍" one fan wrote. "I worked out yesterday and came home to eat 4 cookies 🍪. That's a balanced diet, right?" another joked.
Meanwhile, Jenna (who just gave birth to her son in August) hasn't posted anything on Instagram about her progress just yet. With that being said though, the mother-of-three spoke up about Monday's weigh in on Tuesday and clarified that she's doing this more to "be healthy" instead of to lose weight.
"I was reminded why I don't weigh myself yesterday because I was playing with my kids, and I kept having that one number in my head," Jenna explained. "And I'm like, 'You know what? No, no, no, no.' I don't want life to be controlled by a scale."
Whatever happens, we wish Jenna and Hoda the best of luck in their quest.

Q: Why does assigning a background color to a control override the style trigger? I've got a simple WPF window with a label. There is a default style in the window that changes the label background to red when a mouse is over the label. Pretty simple.
This works, as long as I don't set/modify the labels color to anything, anywhere.

*

*If I set the labels background in code behind (via the 'Set Label Background' button in the code below) the style trigger stops working

*If I set the labels background in XAML (not shown, but an easy edit) the style does not work.

*If, after setting the labels color in code behind, I try to revert the background to what it was (whether null or transparent), the trigger goes from working, to not working.

I don't understand why setting the background seems to override the style.
What I'd prefer this to do is to keep the style active regardless of what background I set for the label - If I move the mouse over, it should change colors to red, regardless of if I've set it to blue or anything else. I'm OK if I have to create the trigger in code behind.
Instead, it seems like merely by assigning a background color to the label, I overwrite the style.
Here is the XAML :

    <Grid Background="Black">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
        <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
        <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Button Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="10,10,10,10" Height="75" Click="Button_Set_Click">Set Label Background</Button>
    <Button Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,10,10,10" Height="75" Click="Button_Clear_Click">Clear Label Background</Button>

    </Grid>

Here is the code behind :
public partial class WpfProblems : Window
{
    public WpfProblems()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Button_Clear_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // revert the label background color - I've tried setting to null, transparent also
        // but the trigger never comes back.
        TestLabel.Background = (Brush)new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#00FFFFFF");
    }

    private void Button_Set_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        // Set the label background color
        TestLabel.Background = Brushes.Blue;
    }
}

A: By assigning a color to your Label, you are overwriting its Color property (which previously held the binding). So in the end you are breaking the binding by directly assigning the color either in code behind or in the xaml.
To fix the propblem you have to assign the default color in the style of your label so that the color is retained once the trigger condition is finished.
Lets say your style looks like below. Please notice how I am setting the default color for the label above the triggers section.

</Style>

EDIT -
Since you are using Code Behind files I think you can use DependencyProperty to control the color of the label. I tried this on a test app and it works.
Create a dependencyProperty as below. Notice the default color is blue as in your test app.
public Brush BackgroundColor
        {
            get { return (Brush)GetValue(BackgroundColorProperty); }
            set { SetValue(BackgroundColorProperty, value); }
        }

        // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for BackgroundColor.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
        public static readonly DependencyProperty BackgroundColorProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("BackgroundColor", typeof(Brush), typeof(MainWindow), new PropertyMetadata(Brushes.Blue));

Now your button click events will become
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            BackgroundColor = Brushes.Yellow;
        }

        private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            BackgroundColor = Brushes.Blue;
        }

In the mainwindow (or your usercontrol) I have defined the following style for a label
<Window.Resources>

        </Style>
    </Window.Resources>

<Grid Background="Black">
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
                <RowDefinition></RowDefinition>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Button Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="10,10,10,10" Height="75" Click="Button_Click">Set Label Background</Button>
            <Button Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,10,10,10" Height="75" Click="Button_Click_1">Clear Label Background</Button>

        </Grid>

And I am using the same grid that you have posted
Make sure you are settings the datacontext of the control properly in the code behind for this to work. Now the original style is retained even after you click any of the buttons.
Let me know if this works.

A: DependencyPropertys can be set from a number of different sources. For example, they can be set in Styles, in Animations, in Triggers, etc. Therefore, Microsoft determined that some of these update sources were more important then others and so should have precedence over others.
For example, a Setter inside a Trigger should have more precedence than a normal Style Setter, because otherwise, Triggers just wouldn't work.

What I'd prefer this to do is to keep the style active regardless of what background I set for the label

Clearly, depending on how you set the Background, this may not work... a simple property setting in code will always override properties set in a Style.
To find out more, please read the Dependency Property Value Precedence page on MSDN.


The IAR C/C++ Compiler supports C and C++. It supports a wide range of industry-standard debug and image formats, compatible with most popular debuggers and emulators, including ELF/DWARF where applicable.
The IAR C/C++ compilers offer different dialects of the C and C++ programming languages, as well as different extensions specific for embedded programming (please note that not all language standards are supported for all target implementations). The compiler can be instructed to disable extensions for strict conformance to the standards.
A wide range of industry-standard debug and image formats compatible with most popular debuggers and emulators are supported. This includes ELF/DWARF where applicable.
IAR Embedded Workbench supports the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point arithmetic.
MISRA C is a software development standard for the C programming language developed by MISRA, The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association. Its aims are to facilitate code safety, portability and reliability in the context of embedded systems, specifically those systems programmed in ISO C.
The first edition of the MISRA C standard, "Guidelines for the use of the C language in vehicle based software", was produced in 1998. In 2004, a second edition was produced with many substantial changes to the guidelines, including a complete renumbering of the rules.
IAR Embedded Workbench features a built-in MISRA C checker (2004 & 1998). With the add-on product C-STAT, you can check compliance with rules as defined by MISRA C:2004, MISRA C++:2008 and MISRA C:2012.

In addition to the commercial suites we use several in-house test suites for testing new features, regression testing, corrected errors, etc.


My saving star says spend 15 on angelsoft get 5.00 back. There is a 2.00 booster for watching a video meaning you need to spend 13 to get the 5 dollars. Angelsoft 2/10 with I save and using 2 $1 off means Oop is 8 dollars. With the saving star from buying 2 packages they become 1.50 each.
You are lucky than, as My Saving Star is the $5.00 back when you spend $20.00. Is this your first time using the Saving Star Angel Soft one or many? I have found if I do a one or many offer the next time the do the same brand one or many offer the amount I have to spend increases.
