Mangino arrives at Brigham & women's hospital for a revolutionary double hand transplant. Above, the Revere resident is shown with his wife, Carole, after the successful procedure.
One Newman Street grandfather became international news this past week after he was the recipient of the first-ever, successful double hand transplant at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston.
And you've got to hand it to him, Richard Mangino certainly handled the situation with a lot of grace and gratitude.
Mangino has become well known on Newman Street with his neighbors and friends for having overcome a devastating amputation of both his feet and both his hands in 2002 – having developed a septic infection that took his hands from the elbow down and his legs from the knee down. Most who live nearby and know him marveled at the fact that the amputations didn't really slow him down. In fact, some said that he actually became more active, being known to paint artwork and take care of his lawn while using his prostheses.
At Friday's press conference, he also thanked his wife, Carole, and his three sons, Ricky, Rob and David – as well as his grandchildren Trevor and Nick.
He said they were the inspiration for him to continue fighting over the last nine years.
"My family has been the inspiration to fight when things were hard and to never look back – always look forward. I love you all very much," he said.
The groundbreaking procedure is being hailed worldwide as a major medical breakthrough.
More than 40 doctors and support staff performed the double transplant in a procedure that lasted more than 12 hours. It included painstakingly attaching skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments, bones and blood vessels in the left and right forearms.
The procedure actually took place some two weeks ago.
Doctors were ecstatic at the press conference, noting that when the procedure was finished and the blood began to flow seamlessly into the hands, they knew it was a success.
Doctors commented that is was a tremendous rush and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment to see the hands actually start working.
Brigham & Women's – which actually performed the first ever organ transplant in 1954, a kidney – announced in the summer of 2010 that they were developing a hand transplant program for amputees. They performed their first single hand transplant last May.
However, two weeks ago, Mangino became the first double hand transplant ever performed in the world.
The donor hands used were approved by the New England Organ Bank, but the family of the donor was also required to give their consent.
Mangino said he is forever grateful to the family for approving of the double hand donation.
The lead doctors involved in Mangino's transplant were Elof Eriksson, Bohdan Pomahac, and Simon Talbot.
As a donor family it is stories like this that truly touch my heart. When faced with such sadness at the loss of a loved one, I know in our situation it gave us great hope and comfort to know that another family would be blessed with what gifts we were able to pass on.
Seth – This is not the worlds first double hand transplant. There have been scores of double hand transplants performed around the world including for your information 3 Double hands in Pittsburgh and 1 Double hand in Louisville before this. So, the first Double Hand transplant in both female and male patients was done at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh in 2009 and 2010, Please correct your title or provide an erratum to your article. Next time do a bit more research.

A rough 2018 for Tenille.
In what appeared to be a breakout year for Tenille Dashwood was actually filled with many trials and tribulations for the Women Of Honor division star. Tenille revealed a month ago that she suffers from a skin condition that she's been dealing with since her teen years and the disease was something that she was not comfortable sharing with the world until recently which is why she pulled out of Ring Of Honor's tour of the United Kingdom last month.
Last night at ROH's 'Death Before Dishonor XVI' PPV, Tenille challenged Sumie Sakai for the Women Of Honor Championship but came up short in her endeavor to capture championship gold. After the match was over an angle was shot backstage where Tenille was attacked but there was no one else on the scene but Tenille, ROH officials and personnel. Dashwood was holding her shoulder in the angle but this was done to write her off of television as she announced tonight at the ROH TV tapings in front of the Las Vegas crowd that she will be taking time off because for the majority of 2018 she has been dealing with her skin condition, an autoimmune disease and a nagging shoulder injury that she is getting taken care of. PWInsider followed up on this announcement and noted that the injury and the surgery news is legitimate and that Dashwood has pulled out of several dates this year to rest her shoulder.
PWInsider is reporting that Tenille Dashwood has been offered a contract with Ring Of Honor and is expected to sign with the company despite having to take time off to deal with her injuries.
On top of the Tenille Dashwood news, a new ROH World Television Champion was crowned at the ROH TV tapings and to find out who the new champion is, click here.


Over on the Appirio blog they're running a series getting cloud perspectives from a bunch of different industry players. Appirio approached me with a bunch of questions to answer, I thought I'd repost those questions (and my answers) here. It was a general overview of current cloud trends and barriers/problems. All good stuff and I appreciated the invitation from Appirio to be involved.

Q: Embedding resource files into Dart2Native executables Is it possible to embed resource files in the Dart2Native binary? I have an https server where I wanted to embed the server TLS certs (self-signed) along with the binary. I am using the following code to read the resource data.
var cert = await Resource("lib/certs/cert.pem").readAsString(encoding: utf8);
var key = await Resource("lib/certs/cert.key").readAsString(encoding: utf8);

But the generated binary doesn't include the resource files and always looks for the data under lib/certs location. One trick is to copy/paste that content as a dart string literal, but not very useful for binary or large data.

In part of a Cuadrilla statement it says "In addition to micro-seismic data Cuadrilla recorded ground vibration levels throughout fracturing operations. The vast majority of those vibrations were less than 0.5 mm/second which the company has highlighted is up to thirty times lower than limits applied to other UK industrial operations, including quarrying and construction." This shows that their fracking activities actually do create ground level vibrations. Take into account the fact many potential fracking areas have former mine shafts as so far disovered so far by the Coal Authority. Masses of these are built over by roads, paths and differing forms of property or over gardens and public spaces. From Cuadrilla's claim they will all experience some level of vibrations if underground vertical fracking operations take place (even at levels of below 0.5). So disasters are then possible. Even massively more so if the permitted level of operations is increased by up to 30 times on what is a shattering logarithmic scale. Quarrying unlike fracking does not take place beneath someones living room nor beneath their children's playing fields.
Harry, we can always look for evidence elsewhere in the world for this – there are many that have mined for many years and have a massive amount of very high magnitude earthquakes. What you are describing has not been noticed in these areas before. You mention mines under roads, the fact is that traffic on those roads posses far more risk to ground stability than even moderate sized earthquakes let along the minor tremors that occur as a result of hydraulic fracture stimulation.
We are constantly told we cannot look at evidence from abroad. That's the government line on environmental and health aspects. If we take evidence from around the world on this, then we must on all other aspects.
Exactly Steve. then we need to generate the evidence in the UK and that means opening up the TLS.
Judith : Look up Coal Authority sources to see what has happened on some roads.
Judith : As I am expected to follow the claimed geometric expertise of the James Verdon, perhaps you can do the same with the Coal Authority on how and where sinkholes and the like have been discovered in the past and what have been their likely causes. Although seemingly they have not yet published anything on the likely consequences of fracking. Clearly when fracking takes place under your parents garage and the like there will be some sort of surface impact. Whether it is the equivalant of a car driving out of it, an elephant stamping on it or a bomb hitting it will depend on the impact itself and geometric factors. The Coal Authority periodically inspect places if they hold a record of the mineshafts there. This is shown in their current publication "Modern Law Supplement – Meet the experts". I accept, however, that all expertise needs challenging. For as John Stuart Mill said, those who only know their own side of the case, know little of that.
Harry – I've done a search and have found nothing from the Coal Board on the impact of seismic events on abandoned mine shafts so it's difficult for me to learn from their expertise on this issue. But if you have a link I'd be more that happy to read it.
Judith : Although the Coal Authority have great expertise on coal mining operations and on their legacy, they are not using these to analyise the likely consequences of the moves towards facking. This is because they are a Government Agency and this Government is basically pro-fracking. So when the Coal Authority are asked to submit evidence on vertical operations sort by INEOS and others, they currently limit themselves to only questioning applications if that are planned to take place within 20 metres of a known former mine shaft. To prevent this criticism happening in relation to its proposals for a site at Bramleymoor Lane near Marsh lane, INEOS adjusted its application to operate a few meters away from its original proposal. If INEOS finally start operations at Bramleymoor Lane and go for horizontal fracking operations (which could come under areas such as Coal Aston and Unstone at least), then will the Coal Authority not raise any concerns ? We wait to see. But what you can cull from their material should concern you when it comes to fracking. I hope that you will pay some attention to the Coal Authority's Interactive Map.
Judith, the main thing about the earthquakes created by fracking operators is the really bad stuff goes on deep below ground not felt at the surface!
This is the truth the Melon Mongerors don't want the public to become aware of!
Peter – event locations tell us exactly where the damage occurs underground. It's interesting that those with expertise don't think it's a big deal whereas those with no expertise argue that such damage is important – is there something that the non-expects know that the experts have missed?
So Judith, you're calling Mike Hill a non-expert in this matter?
You really don't know what you are taking about!
He was in the room advising when the earthquake limits were agreed with Cuadrilla and everyone else!
The tube and subway under London cause seismic vibration under building very day. But shale only cause disruption for a week or two during fracking.
Hiding away here to repeat your faux pas from the next page BTW?
Never mind, we see the meme that must be repeated at least once here again dont we boys and girls? Odd behaviour nonetheless?
But unrelated to fracking for Shale in the U.K. This has been done to death Kish with even Pro frack execs agreeing that even with a fully operational shale gas industry in the U.K. retail prices would remain unaffected. The joys of the European energy market.
Retail prices are not only what dictates UK energy prices. How is the winter fuel payment made? Ohh-taxation is taken and then redistributed. Perhaps a larger, more directed winter fuel payment?
Of course, there isn't a model of that is there? Yes-look to Norway. $1 trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund.
But so invisible without a link!
The joys of UK taxation upon UK industry.
Winter fuel payment is naff all to do with retail energy pricing, it's effect on cost is tiny. Over 80% of a normal consumers gas bill is wholesale cost of utility, distribution costs and other operating costs. Environmental and Social obligations are less than 2% of a bill combined.
Your winter fuel payment argument is a complete red herring. The winter fuel payment is made to all over 65s so the majority of the country don't get that particular benefit. Furthermore it's not means tested which in effect means wealthier pensioners would do not need the payments are potentially taking it at the expenses of those who do. Whilst there are reasons for not applying a means test (ie potentially off putting application process) those with decent savings and lifestyles should opt out voluntarily. Do you claim it Merton?
Hope the larger print enables you to read it, Pavlova.
Obviously, need some extra taxation directed to more frequent eye tests!
I do not need to claim it, it is paid automatically in the UK. DOH.Opting out is a nonsense as it would cost more to operate than it would save. Those who do not need it can more easily donate it to a charity of their choice, and many do. HOWEVER, if a LARGER, MORE DIRECTED winter fuel payment was used you could have a two tier system where those living in fuel poverty, or other situations, received a higher figure and the current system continued for the rest. Could be funded by the taxation upon extra UK industry rather than taxation paid to US industry-as currently.
Sorry to upset the US economy. Less for "them" to spend on donuts-so a double benefit!
You can put individual words in caps to demonstrate your ranty shouty attitude all you like Martine but here is the opening sentence of your original ranting, lifted directly "Retail prices are not only what dictates UK energy prices" .
I have shot that crap statement to pieces but now you seem to be attempting to squirm away from that opener by stating that a non existent review of the WFA system should be developed.
How does an idea that you have come up with to increase the winter payment allowance affect CURRENT UK. retail energy prices? That's the question?
Floundering and grasping for a life line to save your blushes. When in a hole stop digging.
Well, Pavlova, IF YOU HAD AN ENERGY BILL OF £500 OVER 6 WINTER MONTHS AND THERE WAS AN UPPER TIER WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE OF PERHAPS £400 then would your current energy price be reduced???
I suggest it would be decreased to £100.
If your energy bill was higher at £800 for the 6 months then it would be reduced to £400.
Quite straight forward. All that needs adding, is how you fund it-and I have suggested one mechanism-and who determines who should receive it which is no more difficult than determining who has access to a Food Bank.
Now, if you can not do the maths. or read the text, then someone could do it for you.
Not expecting you to agree that it could be done, because at the end of the day that would mean your argument that UK produced gas and oil offers no advantage against imported gas and oil was rubbish.
But for those who can read and do the maths. and see what can be done elsewhere-without having to have links to do so-then they may see it does add up and is a way fuel poverty could be removed.
Here's a break down of a retail gas bill.
Surprising that there are so few of those opposing fracking who adduce climate change as a reason. Surprising too that so many respondents assert that they have never heard of fracking.
Not really iaith. That's what you get with minority groups. They feel because they make the most noise they represent the majority, but as shown in this instance, they do not, and the majority are usually silent, hence the widely known phrase.
Maybe the majority do see items such as Britain now importing more oil from US fracking, than from any source, and therefore see that climate change is not the issue whilst that is happening instead of maximising UK production. They may be silent, but they hear and see.
Standard MC deliberate misreading of Wave survey results. You could near enough set your watch by these now they are that regular.
Not been a good week for profractavists has it Marty. Chin up flower.
Misreading? Nope. 60% are not against fracking, which is currently authorised in England. So, no mandate indicated against. Not bad, considering this is a technology which has not yet shown the benefits side of the equation.
Yes, the watch is appropriate. Time you antis stopped being so desperate to claim the Wave survey is showing something it is not. When you do that with something that is black and white to those who have any knowledge about market research, how you think they are judging statements around areas that are not black and white? It is the same with activities like calling out the emergency services without consultation. All you do is stop those who are neither for or against moving to against because they then doubt all other statements.
As I have said before, exciting your own may stop them getting bored, but it is doing nothing to convince others. So continue.
Quite a good week, Pavlova. Premature excitement from some, but that's routine now. You do realise the Dept. has declined to confirm there will not be a review?
Not again Martin, the same old argument. Neither for or against means just that. It means 60% have not formed an opinion either way. But what we do know is that the more people learn about fracking the more likely they are to oppose it, which is very damning for the industry. And of those surveyed that have formed an opinion, the majority oppose it. So the figures speak for themselves.
Judith I'm sure you spotted that it is 47% that remain undecided, Martin has added the percentage that support to arrive at the 60%, so it isn't statistically accurate to claim 60% don't oppose fracking.
Why not KatT. Please explain.
There is a group who support fracking ie. they are not against it.
There is a group who do not support, or oppose it ie. they are not against it.
You just want to rub that second group away because it suits your purpose, but that is not the way market research works.
You may have a way through if fracking was not allowed, then you could say the majority was not in favour of allowing it. But, that is not the current situation where fracking is allowed and the majority are not in favour of changing that. Tough for you, but with a group who oppose something where the majority don't know much about it, then to add the same approach to Market Research shows a pattern, but not a very good one.
Read the results again and your post of 6.17pm. That is exactly what the Survey says.
The nearer the frackers come to people's Communities, the more active the frackers propaganda becomes in that locality.
The more people investigate the fracking pros and cons, the more actively anti-fracking they become as the survival gene kicks in!
Yes, the same analyses, because the same data is produced.
Strange KatT, only 11% claimed to know a lot about fracking. So, there seems to be around two thirds of the antis who don't know much about it, but are against it! Yes, the figures speak for themselves. They show that a lot of people, if they don't know much about a subject, do not form an opinion for or against. Is says the antis are predominantly making a judgement without understanding why! Not a very strong base.
Judith is correct. Research recently published regarding GM showed exactly the same.
"Declined to confirm there will not be a review" – oh dear could that be anymore tenuous. It's nearly as bad as claiming "neither for nor against" from the tracker is in anyway a positive affirmation.
You are getting more desperate by the hour and consequently more entertaining McFly.
Keep up the good work as DoD would be a much duller but ultimately much more credible place without your baseless insights.
Except Martin didn't say it was a positive affirmation. Martin said no market research wipes away the group that is neither for or against. It includes them in the analyses.
Credible?? Ahh, changing what is stated to prove a point. Incredible.
But no one has noticed who and what upsets the antis so much they always have to bring out the same characters to try and discredit, and simply expose what their problems are.
No pudding but definitely a donut 🍩.
Welcome to the UK Pavlova. We call them doughnuts.
No wonder the link was hard to find!
Why couldn't the fracky bear eat his donut?
The shortened donut has been around since the late 1800s, but it wasn't popularized until the late 20th century, when the successful American doughnut chain Dunkin' Donuts made it ubiquitous.
Ooooh your gammon is showing Merton. Snide comments about nationality on the basis of a predictive text spelling how very Farage of you.
So, you don't bother to check things, Pavlova?
Drill or Drop who are you surveying, the people who attended the coffee morning?
Where as you appear to like your coffee bitter.
The survey is carried out on behalf of the government by a professional polling organisation, Kantar TNS omnibus. In this case the survey was carried out face to face in people's homes with a sample of 4273 households. So no, not a coffee morning.
IGas shares, AJ lucas Group shares and Angus Energy Shares are all rock bottom. No coincidence. Speculators, by their very nature will move on to something which they believe to be reliable. Does anyone remember Cameron's Dash for Gas? It seems such a long time ago and it has not even managed a very slow crawl for gas.
BP looking quite good Waffle. Wonder why. Oh, fracking-for one.
But you are correct about AIM shares-that's the way they go, especially with regards to companies that are exploring.
But fracking in USA, for UK to import the end product-now the biggest source of UK imported oil. Environmentally, that is a nonsense.
How did they get involved in fracking in USA? They initially decided it wasn't going to be successful, and kept away. They made a mistake, and then had to rectify it with an expensive acquisition.

Sherwulfe and your point is? Or are you just trying to have the last word?
Are you? And your point is?
Well, Sherwulfe , I would have hoped you would have been able to give an expert & informed opinion of the comparison between anthropogenic seismicity which is felt by millions of people daily in London, than the tiny surface effect of siesmicity from Preese Hall & PNR. But I understand why if you wish to avoid giving one.
But isn't that what you usually do? Wouldn't like to step on your tootsies….


"I was extremely satisfied with my experience at your office, you guys ROCK, I look forward to my next visit. ( I never thought I would say that)!"
"Quick, painless, and as 'enjoyable' as a dental filling could be! One doesn't expect to have 'fun' at the dentist, yet Dr. Nelson and his staff are relaxed and good-humored - while always maintaining their professionalism. They are an enjoyable group of people who are very good healthcare professionals."
"We are very pleased that Dr. Nelson is not rushing our son's orthodontic treatment. He is making sure that everything is in place and that the job is complete before removing his braces. His staff is wonderful, warm and welcoming."
"The visit was for my 6year old and it went great like usual. The office is extremely clean and everyone is always so nice. My daughter is never nervous and actually is excited to go. She loves picking out a prize from the 'treasure chest.' Rates are reasonable too. Overall very happy with the office."
"I always have a great experience at Nelson Dental Healthcare. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and very skilled. The other dependable characteristic of this practice is that they are always prompt and there is little to no wait time."


The common name of Cyrano Darner (Nasiaeschna pentacantha) makes reference to the famed nose of Cyrano de Bergerac, because this dragonfly has a very prominent frons (Paulson & Dunkle, 2012). Cyrano Darner frequents wooded wetlands, swamps, and slow, wooded streams. It is often found in similar habitats as Swamp Darner, but can be distinguished by characters below. In Maryland, this dragonfly is widespread, but usually uncommon (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). This species is ranked as S3 (watch list) in Maryland.
With its blue eyes, and brown-and-green coloration, Cyrano Darner resembles the larger Swamp Darner (Epiaeschna heros), but may be distinguished from Swamp by its more jagged lateral thoracic stripes, more extensive green on the abdominal segments, and proportionately thicker, tapering abdomen without noticeable constriction at the base (Paulson, 2011).
There are 88 records in the project database.

Somerset Gardens Director Named NYSCAL Administrator of the Year

Plainview, NY – Dani Laino, Executive Director at Somerset Gardens Senior Living, is the 2022 New York State Center of Assisted Living (NYSCAL) Administrator of the Year.
According to the NYSCAL, the award recognizes an adult care or assisted living administrator who demonstrates outstanding innovation, achievement, and capabilities in their provision of high-quality person-centered care in a service-oriented culture in an adult care or assisted living community.
Laino started working at Chelsea Senior Living ("Chelsea"), parent company of Somerset Gardens, in 2015. She started as a Case Manager at Maple Pointe Senior Living.
Two years later, she was promoted to Director of Case Management. As she continued to develop and show leadership qualities, she earned the opportunity to become an Executive Director at Somerset Gardens in 2019.

"I am beyond grateful and shocked to receive such a prestigious honor from the NYSCAL," said Laino, who joined the NYSCAL Board of Directors in 2021 in addition to her duties as Executive Director at Somerset Gardens. "It has been a whirlwind of emotions battling COVID-19, but I'm lucky to have such a phenomenal staff. Constant communication played a major part in protecting our community and making families aware of changes."
Laino will be presented with the award on Wednesday. May 18, 2022 at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY.

When business slows down, it's time to get creative. Here are 10 surefire ways to get the money flowing again using technology, marketing savvy, and good old-fashioned networking.
I've run my own small business since 1994. Fortunately, through the years, I've had plenty of work to keep me busy. But there have been dips along the way—at least one of them prolonged and downright scary.
Remember that little recession of 2008-2009? The one from which we're still recovering? My writing and marketing business took its biggest hit to date then, slowing to a worrisome level in September 2009 and not bouncing back until April 2010. Needless to say, it was a highly stressful seven months.
I learned a lot from that painful period and vowed to be better prepared when business slowed again (which it inevitably has a few times, but nowhere nearly as bad).
Here are 10 marketing strategies I've developed to turn up the volume when business goes too quiet, along with the technology I use to make it happen.
When you're busy, marketing often takes a back seat to getting the work done. A business slowdown, then, is the ideal time to promote your business.
But what goals should you choose? What's the best way to attract your target customers' attention? What steps will you take to get the word out about your business? It's hard to think about this clearly when you're stressed out about your slow business.
That's why it's essential to build a step-by-step business development and marketing plan before the phone stops ringing. You won't waste time figuring out what to do. Also, in my experience, taking action is a terrific antidote to the stress of becoming unexpectedly idle.
LinkedIn is a must-use social media network for business. But you should also consider it a search engine. Many people look for businesses to work with and talent to hire directly on LinkedIn.
For instance, let's say you're the CEO of your own social media firm called Peanut Butter & Guava Jelly (one of my favorite sandwiches, incidentally). Instead of making your LinkedIn headline CEO of Peanut Butter & Guava Jelly, use keywords like Social Media Consultant - Twitter Strategy - Facebook Page Development.
In other words, describe what you do in your headline using keywords people are likely to use when they search. Put your title and company name in your background summary. Make sure to repeat your headline keywords once or twice in the body of your profile, too.
Also, post a good-quality LinkedIn photo of yourself. Surprisingly, some people use no photo at all. Or they post a photo of themselves wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap. Remember that your LinkedIn photo may be the first impression you make on a potential client or customer.
You don't need to hire a professional photographer. A career coach I know recommends having your photo taken outside, with some kind of natural setting in the background. Such photos convey energy and action, as opposed to, say, a darkly lighted photo of someone in an office chair.
While you're at it, post recommendations for people in your LinkedIn circle who deserve them. Chances are they'll reciprocate. Endorsements are easy to get; you just click on someone's skill. But a recommendation takes more time and thought and, thus, they're more valuable to telling your story.
Share LinkedIn status updates that show your knowledge and expertise, too. If there's a useful business-related article published by, say, The Wall Street Journal, share a link to it on LinkedIn and add your two cents. This helps keep your name and what you do fresh among your LinkedIn network. Plus, you're being helpful to people who might become customers, which is an important part of any marketing or business development plan.
Spend a few minutes every day looking at the profiles of your LinkedIn contacts. You may discover that someone has a new position or has moved to a new company. Might they now be in a position to use your services or buy your products? Find out by sending them a personalized note of congratulations on LinkedIn. Use the opportunity to tell them what you've been up to lately, work-wise.
You'll be surprised what can come from this. During a recent slowdown, for instance, I sent a former work colleague a note on LinkedIn congratulating her on her work anniversary at a major software company. I mentioned that I really enjoyed working with her (at her previous job) and would love to collaborate again in the future. She concurred and said she'd keep me in mind.
About a month later, she connected me with her boss—who was looking for someone with my qualifications. This has happened to me many times, which is why I stay active on LinkedIn all the time, not just when business slows.
When you pitch yourself to new clients or go after new business, assume people are going to Google you. Why wouldn't they? The real question is, what will they find? Will it be positive? Negative? Neutral? Will you even show up on the first page of results?
When you Google yourself, keep in mind Google is serving you personalized results based on what it knows about you—your browser history, your geographic location, and so on. As a result, your search results will probably look different from mine. It's important, then, to get the least personalized results, so you'll have some idea of what others will see.
One way to do this is to sign out of your Google account before searching. Another option is to use Google Chrome's incognito mode (go to File > New Incognito Window). Your Google search will still incorporate some personalized info, such as your location, but much of the personalization is removed.
Usually, an easy way to counteract negative or non-existent search results for your name is through social media. LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, SlideShare, Pinterest, and Quora all have authority with Google, meaning that publicly shared content on those sites can rank well in search results—especially if you've optimized the content with relevant keywords, and the competition for your target keywords isn't huge.
For example, I just did a Google search on my name (James A. Martin) using Chrome's incognito mode. Seven of the first page's 10 results were about me. The number-one result was my LinkedIn profile, followed by my personal website, personal blog, author page on CIO.com, Twitter profile, Google+ profile, and Facebook profile. Despite having a fairly generic name—can you imagine how many James A. Martins there are?—I had taken the time to optimize each of my social networks for my name. For instance, my name is part of the URLs for my Twitter, Google+, and Facebook profiles.
What if something negative has been written about you or your business, such as a nasty Yelp review? In general, the best strategy is to post a polite response to the negative review on the site where it exists. Tactfully explain your side of the story. Encourage the reviewer to try your service or product again for free or at a discounted rate. Having other content you control show up in your Google search results, such as your Google+ page, can at least help you balance the negative content with something positive.
6. Don't have a website? A slowdown is a good time to create one.
Some businesses have only a LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, or a Tumblr blog to get their name out there. But there's nothing better to promote your business than a dedicated website that explains who you are, what you do, the services or products you offer, and the customers you've worked with, along with testimonials from happy customers and easy-to-find contact information.
You could hire a website designer, of course. But if during your slowdown you have more time than money and you enjoy a challenge, build the site yourself. It's not that difficult to do. With no website design experience, I created my own small business website in about a day using a WordPress template. One reason I took it on was at that time, I couldn't afford a designer. Another reason: As an online marketer, it made sense to me to have some experience building a website.
You can follow the steps I outlined in How to Build a Small Business Website With WordPress. Though the article is nearly three years old, little has changed in the steps described. I still highly recommend Bluhost, an inexpensive ($5/month) and easy-to-use Web hosting service that plays well with WordPress, and DIYthemes Thesis, a WordPress template that's easy to customize.
Google+ Hangouts on Air are like Skype video chats in which you invite the world to join. Politicians, celebs, business executives, musicians and others have held Hangouts on Air. It's like giving a webinar, but it's more interactive, and it can help you show off your expertise while being helpful to potential clients.
Also, you can record Google Hangouts on Air and post them to YouTube. Add your keywords in the YouTube video title, and you'll likely increase your Google search results presence, too. Google posts a schedule of upcoming Hangouts on Air; it's a good place to get topic ideas. Participate in at least one public Hangout before trying it yourself, and read Google's getting started page for hosting a Hangouts On Air.
Another way to share your expertise—and perhaps attract new customers in the process—is by hosting a free webinar on a compelling topic. The key is to address important questions that your potential customers have, and then offer solutions to their problems. It's OK to mention your business in the webinar, but the soft sell is the best approach. Convince&Convert has a helpful guide to getting started, 14 Steps to Hosting a Successful Webinar.
Before you object, consider this: An ebook doesn't have to be a tome. It could be, say, 10-20 pages full of tips, best practices or other useful information that showcases your experience and knowledge. If your goal is to get as many ebooks downloaded as possible, offer it for free.
If nothing else, an ebook can give you an extra touch of authority. Keep in mind you'll probably need to hire people to create the cover art and to proofread your book. Publishers Weekly, the book-publishing industry journal, offers a helpful guide, DIY: How to Self-Publish an E-book.
In this digital era, we sometimes forget about networking the old-fashioned way—picking up the phone and calling someone, having coffee or lunch with a colleague, going to industry events, and so on. But face time with people in a position to buy your product or use your services is still the best form of networking.
As always, use the soft approach. Don't explain that business is slow right now, and you could use some help. Instead, talk about what you do, and why you're passionate about it; maybe mention a recent success you've had. If you do it correctly, you'll have your potential customer's attention—and perhaps his business.

three—three apples in the bowl!"). A subsequent study by Levine found that the kind of number talk that most strongly predicted later knowledge of numbers involved counting or labeling sets of objects that are right there in front of parent and child--especially large sets, containing between four and ten objects.
Note numbers on signs when you're walking or driving with children: speed limits and exit numbers, building addresses, sale prices in store windows.
Ask children to count how many toys they're playing with, how many books they've pulled out to read, or how many pieces of food are on their plate.
Use numbers when you refer to time, dates, and temperatures: how many hours and minutes until bedtime, how many weeks and days until a holiday, the high and low the weatherman predicts for that day.
With older children, math can become a part of talking about sports, science, history, video games, or whatever else they're interested in.
With practice, parents and children alike will find that math makes a very satisfying second language.

Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue has urged domestic firms to embrace digital transformation at a recent business forum.
Addressing the CEO Forum 2019 in Hanoi on April 5, the Deputy PM said the fourth industrial revolution has a strong impact on the economy and society around the world and all sectors and fields with unprecedented speed.
As Vietnam is deeply integrated into the world economy, the country faces many challenges but also has multiple opportunities, he told the forum, stressing that to shorten the development gap with other countries, digital transformation is a vital step for businesses to stay afloat in the Industry 4.0 era.
Deputy PM Hue said in recent years, the Party and State have advocated the transformation of the growth model based on the application of science, technology and innovation to improve productivity, quality and the competitiveness of the economy.
"The Government has been continuously improving the business and investment environment , strengthening macro-economic foundation, promoting entrepreneurship and creating the most favourable conditions to support business development," he said.
He noted that the Prime Minister and the Government have adopted drastic measures to develop an e-Government, building a digital economy, embracing digital transformation and applying 5G technology, building an institutional framework to pilot new business models such as non-cash payment, e-payment, peer-to-peer lending and shared economy.
Deputy PM Hue stressed that every business must be a centre of innovation to be successful, adding that they cannot go alone, and the Government, ministries and localities are committed to accompanying enterprises in the future.
Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said innovation and creativity should come from the dare to accept failure and the real escape from "thinking inside the box."
"A revolution will not happen by the old way but by new ways, new models, and new methods of doing business," the minister said.-VNA

BRUSSELS – Seventy-two years of peace in Europe will come to an end January first when the 28 member bloc officially ceases to exist, announced the European Commission today. This decision came following a breakdown in negotiations between Europe's embattled pro-Union leaders and the many newly elected Euro-skeptic governments that have taken power in recent years. There were scenes of elation across the continent as citizens burned euros and erected barricades at border crossings.
The announcement was greeted with enthusiasm by many leaders within Europe and overseas. "Today marks the beginning of a new era of stability for France," said French President Marine Le Pen to a raucous crowd in Place de la Bastille, standing atop the first new guillotine in France since the EU abolished the death penalty.
German Chancellor Frau Kepetry expressed similar sentiments at a Bundeswehr drill in Frankfurt an der Oder, near the Polish border. "Germany can now resume its traditional role in Europe," she said while gazing at the fertile fields to the east.
Meanwhile across the Channel, Scotland's recent independence does not seem to have damped British enthusiasm. Prime minister Nigel Farage addressed parliament with an eloquent speech this morning. "We will rebuild Hadrian's wall and Scotland will pay for it! Make Britain Great Again!" Shortly thereafter the House of Commons approved a bill bringing the special relationship to its logical conclusion and requesting to join the United States as the 51st state.
However, the end of what had been the unifying force across much of Europe will bring with it some difficulties. Due to a quirk in the law, cross border travel and trade will be illegal until bilateral agreements can be reached between every former EU country. That hasn't deterred many in the former union. "My country doesn't need imports, we can get by on our own," insisted an Italian man before getting in his Volkswagen and driving away. In Sweden, the 1967 law requiring traffic to drive on the right has been invalidated, causing mass chaos and several thousand traffic deaths in the first hours. Many are refusing to accept euros, though they remain legal tender through the remainder of the month, insisting instead on cigarettes or canned food. Several eastern European governments have reportedly been deposed in coups, though reports cannot be confirmed because all lines of communication to these countries are down.
In the United States, President Donald Trump released a stirring tweet to commemorate the events in Europe. "This is a great day. Tremendous. Without the European Union, Europe will win biglier than ever."
Russian President Vladimir Putin was similarly enthused. "The Russian speaking minorities in newly liberated European states can now express their true desires for the future of their countries. Local self defense forces unaffiliated with the Russian Armed Forces will ensure this happens."
Whatever the future holds for these newly independent countries, it can hardly be darker than the horrors of free travel, cooperation, and peace that have plagued Europe for a generation.

Manchester weather: Temperatures are set to rise again, but it will be wet and windy
Temperatures are going to warm up again by mid-week, but this will be accompanied by blustery winds and rainshowers
The cold snap will come to an end by the middle of the week, but it is going to be wet and windy.
Last night temperatures plummeted to below freezing in several areas of the region and many Mancunians woke up to widespread frost.
Throughout the day temperatures will struggle to reach double figures and forecasters have said to expect highs of around 8C to 9C.
However, as the week continues temperatures will gradually start to increase.
On Tuesday it will be a touch warmer with highs of around 9C to 10C.
And then by Wednesday and Thursday temperatures are expected to be around the 10C to 11C mark, which is the average for this time of year.
At the end of the week temperatures will be around 13C to 14C.
But this will be accompanied by more unsettled conditions, with blustery winds and heavy rainshowers.
According to weather experts, this is due to a change in the wind direction with a wet and windy blast from the Atlantic set to soak most of the UK.

This is in contrast to the conditions during the Arctic blast, with the region experiencing long periods of sunshine and dry conditions despite the chilly temperatures.
Sophie Yeomans, Meteorologist for the Met Office, said: "It is a very cold start this morning. Right across the country we have had below zero temperatures.

"A couple of places around Manchester dipped to below zero last night.
"Although for the rest of the week it will probably get a little bit warmer. Today highs of 8C to 9C.

"It will be another cold day today, probably similar to yesterday but a little touch warmer.
"Tomorrow will be another frosty start to the morning, highs of 9C for Tuesday.
"We will be back into double figures on Wednesday and Thursday, during the daytime 10 to 11C.
"As we head towards Friday temperatures back to 13C to 14C, but it will be wet and windy during the day.
"Temperatures will come up but there will be more rainfall through the week."

Proposed EDNY Consent Decree Mandates Upgrades to Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers Over the Next Thirty Years
By Kevin P. Mulry on March 22, 2019
Posted in EDNY Civil Settlements, Environmental, Safe Drinking Water Act
The Eastern District of New York filed a Safe Drinking Water Act complaint this week against the City of New York and the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, seeking to require the City to cover the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, part of the City's public water system. At the same time, the EDNY also lodged a proposed Consent Decree and Judgment with the Court that would require the City to address the cover and upgrades at the reservoir over the next thirty years, at a cost of over $2 billion.
The Hillview Reservior is an open water storage facility that distributes water to City residents. The water entering the reservoir receives chlorine and ultraviolet treatment before entering the reservoir, but the finished water in the reservoir is subject to recontamination before it continues on its path. The complaint alleges that public health would be threatened if the Hillview Reservoir water were recontaminated, because sufficient microbial treatment is not available downstream.
In 2006, EPA promulgated the LT2 Rule, which addressed the risks in uncovered finished water storage facilities by requiring public water discharge systems to cover the facilities or provide specified treatment of the discharge. EPA's goal was to protect the finished water from being contaminated by birds, animals and other sources.
The City had already entered into an Administrative Order with the NYS Department of Health in 1996, under state law, to cover the reservoir, but the City did not meet the performance dates. In May 2010, the City agreed with EPA to an Administrative Order on Consent to cover the reservoir. Again, the City failed to meet the performance deadlines.
The complaint asserts claims for violation of the LT2 Rule and the EPA Administrative Order on Consent, and asks the Court to enjoin future violations, order the City to complete construction of a Hillview Reservoir cover, and assess a civil money penalty.
The proposed Consent Decree requires the City to cover the reservoir, and also to construct two other projects, summarized in an EDNY press release. The Kensico Eastview Connection will be a new underground aqueduct, expected to cost $1 billion and be completed by 2035. The Hillview Reservoir Improvements include extensive repairs to the Hillview Reservoir, and are estimated to cost $375 million by their completion in 2033. The cover of the reservoir's East Basin is expected to be completed in 2042, with the West Basin cover being completed in 2049. The City's cost estimate for the cover in 2009 was $1.6 billion, although the cost under the Consent Decree may be lower depending on the type of cover selected. In the interim, the City will agree to enhanced wildlife management, additional sampling, and a response procedure. The City will also pay a $1 million penalty to the United States, pay $50,000 to New York State, and implement a $200,000 Water Quality Benefit Project.
The EDNY will publish a notice of lodging of the Consent Decree in the Federal Register, which will solicit public comment for thirty days. After the public comment period closes, the EDNY will evaluate comments and advise the Court whether the Consent Decree should be entered. New York State has filed an unopposed motion to intervene in the action.

Crowd surfers: You're the worst. Here's why.
Flickr/Creative Commons
Crowd surfing has been around for almost 50 years in the communities of any edgy genre you can think of — rock, punk, metal, ska, post-hardcore and the like. If you've ever been toward the front of the crowd at one of those concerts, you've probably been kicked in the head by more than a few pairs of Dr. Martens.
88rising makes hip-hop its own at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
On Oct. 31, music from hip-hop heavyweights like Drake and Run The Jewels was relegated to background music for 88rising's final stop on the "88 Degrees and Rising" tour. Focused on but not limited to representing Asian and Asian American artists, the part-media company, part-record label set out on tour in September.

Rockers go wild for The Garden in Oakland performance
The Garden brothers, Fletcher and Wyatt Shears, have a lot going for them. From modeling for the likes of Hedi Slimane in the Yves Saint Laurent 2013 Fall Menswear show to being considered the next generation of the United States' punk scene, they've got a strangely diverse repertoire for being
Twin Peaks talks Chicago music scene and doing whatever the fuck they want
Rock 'n' roll isn't quite dead yet — Twin Peaks made this much clear at San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill on Saturday night. And no, their name is not related to David Lynch's surreal television show; they just thought it sounded cool. The Chicago-based quartet sheds a new light

Q: jQuery onclick add the class en remove it when another item selected I am wondering what I am doing wrong here.
I have a list which can be selected, and when selected the "clicked" class is set. But when I choose another item, the prev item should be deselected and pass the clicked class to the new item, but in my case this isn't happening!?
This is my jQuery code:
$(".select-examn-row-item").hover(
    function() {
        $(this).addClass('hovered');
    }, function() {
        if(!$(this).hasClass('clicked') ){
            $(this).removeClass('hovered');
        }
    }
);

$(".select-examn-row-item").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation;
    $(this).find('clicked').removeClass('clicked');
    $(this).addClass('clicked');
});

Maybe someone can guide me in this one.
And my working Fiddle

A: Your remove class click is missing the . prefix. Also, you're removing clicked from child element then adding it to parent. The logic doesn't work.
And there are multiple behaviors occuring with the hovered also that needs to be managed.
One soluetion would be replacing your remove class call with this:
$('.clicked:not(:hover)').removeClass('clicked hovered');

http://jsfiddle.net/sfwo6gxn/

A: Modifications:
for hover functionality add a css class instead of script.
.select-examn-row-item:hover {
        background-color: #fa6a00;
        color: #fff;
        cursor: pointer;
    }

add the class .clicked which is missing in your css
.clicked{  background-color: #fa6a00;
        color: #fff;
    cursor: pointer;}

and remove class should be $('.select-examn-row-item').removeClass('clicked'); not from  $(this).find('clicked').removeClass('clicked');

$(".select-examn-row-item").click(function(){

    $('.select-examn-row-item').removeClass('clicked');
    $(this).addClass('clicked');

});

Hiii…..Happy Late New Yeeear Along With All The Other Holiday's Prior!!
On January 22, 2021 January 22, 2021 By Daydreamer LexIn Entries
Alright let's get this all out of the way without being awkward about it!! I've been gone for quiiite a while now as most or some may have noticed, my last post was back in October of last year, but as we all know we're now in the year of 2021, it's a bit crazy when you think about it I know!! Now we are in mid January close to moving to a New month, but we've still got a couple more days to this month before we transition over to that month so don't go worrying too much about it!!
You might be wondering why i've been away for quite some time and the truth to that is……there was nothing for me to bring here…..I didn't have much to say…..i've been also trying to figure out a lot of things in terms of not just new ideas, but I wanted to bring for myself, now whether that makes sense or not is to tell…..I didn't feel happy with a lot of things, as much as I tried to share here, nothing ever felt important to share and because of that…..I just felt like I needed to step back from the things that I was doing within that time.
There was a lot of sorting that was needed from me and I felt and knew that, i'd like to say that i've sorted it all and i'm all good to go, but the truth is that's not the case lol, there are still things that i'm working on, but from where I was and where i'm at now i've gotten a bit better that i've had the most trouble with, that aside I do still feel like I have a bit more to go before i'd say i'm at least 80-95% good!! 100% is a little too high right now for me to rate, but i'm in no rush to get to that percentage if i'm being honest I know i'll get there eventually!!
In terms to how i'm feeling, obviously you have your days, that's just part of being human, but for the most part i'd say i've been pretty alright, I feel good, but not GOOD with capital letters, it's a little hard to explain,
I guess it's kinda like a temperature thermostat, but instead of it telling you where you're at on a hot/cold scale, it tells you where you're at on a feeling scale and mine is at pretty alright/good, pretty alright is the middle and good (lower case letters) is just above it!! That's where i'm at right now overall, which is good for me for now, I still worry about a lot of things that's never going to change, but i've been slowly trying to embrace things more which is still new to me, but i've gotten better at it that I can say!!
I like to say that i'm still a work in progress, but slowly, yet surely I feel myself getting there little by little and i'm happy with myself about that, I still feel scared a lot of time with not really knowing where i'm going next, but that's a fear within me that i'm doing my best to get over, I have been thinking of ideas where I have in mind of heading next, it's something I have yet to try, but it's something that has caught my interest and once I sort that all out i'll speak of it more later down the line of course….
I do have another idea in mind that i'm probably going to try to mix in with my other idea, however this idea is one i've already had in my head for a while now…..again still have to sort it out first, obviously i'll be doing it one by one because that's the only way i'll be able to fully give attention to it, but that's just the half of it kinda….i've already written down slight notes to what I have in mind so i'd have an idea of how to do it, but because it's something new and something that i've yet to try, I get nervous about it not knowing how it's going to be, but if i've learned anything lately it's to just let things happen when they happen and try not to think about it too much….which is something i'm still getting used as you can tell ha……
I'm sure once I get there, everything will just come through right then there, I just have to not think too much on it and let myself explore and figure it out on the way as scary as it may be and all, I just have to keep my focus on one thing at a time and know that everything else will follow along in the time that it's supposed to. Excited, yet terrified in a good way of course!! I hope you all have been well and that this year has been treating you well, if you too are still on the journey of discovery of ones self,
know that no matter how worried you may be or how scared you may be…….it's okay to feel that way….just take it one by one and whatever moment you're in right now, embrace it and let it lead you somewhere you'd never think of going, in someway it's bound to surprise you with where it takes you and wherever that may be….I wish you all the best on your adventures ^_^ Happy New Year and here's to unexpected journey's!!

My life story began as a child of a hurt woman who fled the unfaithfulness of a husband. Her pregnancy came when she fell in the arms of another man seeking comfort.
I was the product of hurt, and a thirst for love, and I became a decision faced by a mother who was not ready for motherhood.
Yet that was not the end—that is not who I am.
Ladies, the choice is yours. Don't run from what you may have been; don't let others portrayals embrace you or define you. Use them to rise from where you were in order to understand and love the hurting and the lonely. You have a powerful life story that only you can tell.
All of your life (good, bad, and ugly) makes the lovely tapestry that is to be uniquely you.
So from me to you: I am glad you were born… You are one of a kind! You are a beautiful woman filled with purpose.

Investment Portfolio Theory Helps Scientists Predict Animal Population Growth, Disease Spread
A new study published in PNAS details a new "landscape portfolio" theory that uses insights from economics to predict animal population growth and the spread of disease.
Jessica Gurevitch
The paper, co-authored by Stony Brook's Jessica Gurevitch, PhD, a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution in the College of Arts and Sciences, melds Harry Markowitz's "portfolio theory" in economics with ecological landscape theory to predict population growth of living things.
Population demography of plants, animals and microbes that cause diseases is central to understanding many problems in ecology, evolution and conservation biology. Scientists have had limited information on collections of living populations to understand and predict what happens when you have many populations spread across vast geographic areas. Most research has focused only on local populations at small scales.
Co-author Jessica Gurevitch, PhD, a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution in the Stony Brook University College of Arts and Sciences, and colleagues discovered by using this landscape portfolio theory – verified with data on gypsy moth populations – something surprising occurs: When groups of populations are assessed over a large area, the total numbers of all of them together can grow even when none of the individual populations are growing. This is called "growth inflation" – a concept similar to diversified financial investing and total investment growth.
When growth inflation happens with living populations, the risk of population volatility or plummeting population numbers becomes very small. Synchronicity among the populations was key to their discovery.
"This theory incorporates new developments based on the relationships among populations, which can potentially help scientists better predict geographically widespread growth of populations," said Professor Gurevitch. "The theory can also offer new insights to growth in fields as diverse as medicine and economics."
Co-authors of the paper include Cang Hui from the Stellenbosch University, South Africa and Gordon Fox, from the University of South Florida.

My parents, sister and I really enjoyed spending the day with Lois. Lois was very informative and just really fun to be with. We did a bit of downtown Vancouver, saw some great views, had a little bit of a hike, and even shopped at a roadside stand selling local fruit! She showed us the best of Vancouver (and then some) and took us to a hidden gem of a lunch spot and isn't that what you want in a tour? We recommend her highly to everyone - you'll have the best time with her!

Q: Uncaught Error: Class "Illumninate\Support\Collection" not found I'm working on a php project and need to use the Collection namespace from Illuminate. I have Laravel installed on my computer. However, when I try and create a new collection with:
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

$collection = new Collection();

It gives me the error that it cannot find the class Illuminate\Support\Collection. I tried moving my Laravel folder into the same directory as the project and that didn't work either. I also tried looking through my laravel folders and couldn't find the Illuminate files anywhere. Do I have to do a separate installation to get the Illuminate libraries? Any help is appreciated.

Use `transpile` to transform javascript code using babel.

## Example

  ```javascript
  const path = require('path');
  const transpile = require('rear-core/transpile');

  const sourceDir  = path.join('./src');
  const destDir    = path.join('./public');
  const sourceFile = path.join(sourceDir, 'index.js');

  const opts = {
    file: sourceFile,
    src: sourceDir,
    dest: destDir
  }

  traspile(opt)
    .then(() => {
      console.log('Done');
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error('Error: ', err.message);
    });
  ```

### Async syntax

  ```javascript
  import traspile from 'rear-core/transpile';

  const babelOptions = {
    compact: false,
    comments: true
  }

  async function compile (files, src, dest) {
    files.forEach(file => {
      try {
        await transpile({file, src, dest, babelOptions});
      } catch (err) {
        if (err) {
          throw new Error('Compilation failed: ' + err.message);
        }
      }
    });
  }
  ```

## API

#### async transpile (opts: TranspileOpts): string

Transform a file from a source directory into a destination directory, using
babel.

##### Returns

`Promise<string>` Resolves with the resulting file path.

##### Throws

| Error                   | Description                                       |
|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| `RuntimeModuleNotFound` | Thrown if `babel-core` module is not installed    |

### Requires

* `babel-core`

### Types

#### TranspileOpts

By default babel will remove all `comments` and produce a `compact` version of
the `file`. You can customize this and other [babel options] by passing a custom
`babelOptions` object.

| Property      | Type   | Description                        |
|---------------|--------|------------------------------------|
| babelOptions? | Object | Babel options                      |
| file          | string | Path to the file to be transformed |
| src           | string | Source directory path              |
| dest          | string | Destination directory path         |
