If you're looking to move into the healthcare industry or want to advance a career already in the healthcare sector, a Masters in Health Administration (MHA) is one way to gain the necessary skills. By earning this advanced degree, you can positively impact the lives of patients by ensuring efficient delivery of healthcare through the management of medical staff, services, and budgets. Contact the schools you find on this page that offer MHA degrees in Colorado to begin.
An MS in Health Administration program in Colorado acts as a bridge between administration in healthcare and the delivery of health services. On the business side, topics you may study can include data analysis, financial management, marketing, and management. Healthcare topics may include health information technology and healthcare systems.
You may want to seek out schools with programs accredited by the Business School Alliance for Health Management (BSAHM) or the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). Accreditation ensures a university or college meets instructional benchmarks set by industry professionals.
When applying to a Colorado health administration program, you'll want to seek out scholarships and financial aid. Within Colorado, the Colorado Healthcare Association for Human Resource Management offers scholarships. Nationally, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers several grants and loans.
Additionally, you may want to seek out an administrative residency or internship program, which may lead to permanent employment and valuable professional relationships after graduation. Federally backed loans are also available for many students taking classes from an accredited university.
Jobs available to graduates include Director of Patient Care Services, Practice Manager, Enrollment Coordinator, and Supervisory Program Specialist. These and other jobs exist in a variety of healthcare settings including clinics, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and doctor's offices. Healthcare administrators may also work for government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration and Colorado's Department of Human Services.
Colorado offers many choices for professional membership, and your choice of employment may guide your decision to belong to groups such as the Colorado Association of Healthcare Executives or the Colorado Health Care Association. Local universities in Colorado also feature active alumni associations for graduates that may help you find employment.
The healthcare industry has seen rapid increases in the need for personnel, and jobs in health administration are no exception. Called medical and health services managers by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs may increase by 23 percent over the next decade, according to the government's statistics. That means around 73,300 jobs may be added to the economy.
Further, the government of Colorado recently published a Colorado Skills for Jobs Report that suggested available healthcare positions would exceed the number of students earning degrees for the next several years. The Affordable Health Care Act and a rapidly aging population were given as reasons for the dramatic increase in the need for healthcare professionals.
If you're interested in advancing your healthcare career through graduate study, a Masters in Health Administration can give you the training required to effectively manage a variety of healthcare settings. Contact the schools on our site to learn more today.

While software is available to block adverts on your computer, the Raspberry Pi can block adverts on all devices connected to a network.
Ad blocking software is readily available for those wanting to block adverts on a single computer, but for businesses working across a range of devices, a more powerful software programme is needed. Similarly, for people wanting to block adverts on mobile phones, tablets and other portable devices, even in- game and in-app adverts, ad-blocking to date has been difficult without risking damage to your device. Thanks to the Raspberry Pi, DNS based network wide ad-blocking is now a reality. Alex Viall from Mustard IT expalined how it works, and why it is actually so simple to set up (if you are an It pro!).
For those who don't know what the Raspberry Pi is, the Raspberry Pi is a mini, caseless computer which can be set up to work for a variety of different purposes, for example as a home media centre. Using Raspbian, a custom version of Linux, it can also be used to create a network-wide ad blocker for computers and IOS and Android devices. The Raspberry Pi is a pocket sized device and costs less than £40, a great cost-friendly investment for an advert-free network.
To create a network wide ad-blocker, you need to set up a Raspberry Pi image called the Pi-Hole, which blocks adverts at the router level, protecting all devices connected to that router from the interruption of irritating adverts.
The Pi-Hole blocks adverts before they reach any smartphone, tablet or computer that is connected to your home network – a much more comprehensive ad-blocker than browser based extensions. For businesses with a whole host of devices connected to a single network, this can be a sure-fire way to protect against adverts, although it should be noted that the Pi-Hole will only work as long as devices are connected to the network.
When mobile devices are disconnected from the network, adverts will return. Pie-Hole set up is simple enough, and requires only a few additional items, such as an SD card and keyboard. For a step by step guide on setting up the Pi-Hole follow this link.
Why Not Use Adblock Plus?
Browser extensions, such as Adblock Plus, remove adverts on a website by website basis, which can slow your device down, increasing page load time by 15 to 50 percent. For businesses using a wide number of connected devices, such as those in an office environment, this can be a problematic and inefficient method of removing adverts.
For those looking to block adverts on mobile devices, such extensions are not readily available, and for many the only option is to jailbreak the device – a risky procedure which violates the product's warranty. As Pi-Hole is a DNS based alternative which blocks ads before they reach your device, there is no longer a trade-off between advert-free browsing and loading speed.
Despite the annoyance of in-your-face advertisements, many websites rely on adverts to survive, particularly websites which provide a free service. Use the Raspberry Pi to enjoy the benefits of a free and fast network wide ad-blocker, but be sure to whitelist your most-visited and favourite sites or consider making a donation to keep free websites in business.
If you wish to introduce ad blocking to your bushiness network, I recommend Alex Viall from Mustard IT, a London based company which offers professional IT support to businesses in and around London.

Mr. Hunt and Our Humanity
By Executive Director Liz Clasen-Kelly
Executive Director Liz Clasen-Kelly Smiling With Mr. Hunt In His New Apartment
I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but Mr. Hunt is one of mine.
He came to us at age 90, homeless for the first time after losing control of his finances. In describing the experience, he remarked, "That was a whole heap of a mess I never intended to get in to."
Getting to know Mr. Hunt felt like going back in time. When talking with a woman, he would take off his hat and hold it over his heart. He would regale you with stories of being in the Air Force post-World War II and of being a librarian in New York City.
His kindness is matched by his stubbornness. Finding a housing option for him that maintained some level of independence was a must. And, we all rejoiced when he moved out earlier this month to a senior living apartment.
I shudder to think what could have happened to Mr. Hunt had Men's Shelter of Charlotte not been there to meet him in his crisis, with shelter, food, and housing advocacy.
I also reflect, though, on the gift that Mr. Hunt's presence provided us.
I met Mr. Hunt shortly after my grandmother's death. Mr. Hunt's story-telling and his sense of dignity reminded me of my grandmother, and was a comfort to me as I grieved. Watching other guest's interact with Mr. Hunt was equally as beautiful, as various men spent time watching out for and talking with "pops."
No doubt, all of us met each other in our time of need and in our humanity.
And that is what we do every day at Men's Shelter of Charlotte: We meet each other in our humanity.
Grenades Disguised as Lemons
"Sometimes life gives you grenades disguised as lemons." Former guest Charles recently wrote these words to Joe Hamby, Men's Shelter of Charlotte's Director of Income Services.
Charles was describing his "lemons" that began several years ago with relocation from Hurricane Katrina and more recently with job reduction and family strife. All of which exploded, leaving him with a yellow paper on his apartment door, evicted just 11 days before his 25th birthday.
Devastated, Charles spent a few nights riding the light rail and catching sleep in the ER waiting room, before he found his way to Men's Shelter of Charlotte.
"I was struggling; but I wasn't dead yet," Charles goes on to write. So, he persisted, and took advantage of the additional services Men's Shelter of Charlotte offers.
Through our employment team, he was connected to a local employer who offers innovative paid internships for motivated young adults. In fact, Joe gave him a ride to his interview, which included a pep talk before he went in. "Tell your story," he advised Charles.
Charles successfully landed the internship. Additionally, through our housing program, Charles overcame his financial barriers, had an advocate to help navigate housing options, and gained access to a rental subsidy. Less than five months after his eviction, Charles' experience with homelessness was ended.
47 Days in Shelter; Now Home
Robert Moves Home
"Forty-seven days in shelter, and now I'm housed! I feel blessed and grateful." That's the sentiment from Robert as he proudly stands in his kitchen in his own apartment.
Robert, who holds a B.A. in Sociology, hails from Ohio and came to Charlotte with his cousin and extended family looking for job opportunities. He worked for years installing sheet rock until a foot injury forced him into exploring a new career as a truck driver. That is, until his injured foot took a turn for the worse. After a necessary surgery, Robert contracted an infection, worsening his condition.
He found his way to Men's Shelter of Charlotte. Once getting his basic needs met, he had the support to take care of his medical needs and connected with our Employment Team. Our staff provided regular transportation for Robert to Goodwill's Opportunity Campus where he enrolled in a six-week Construction Services class to obtain career-advancing certifications. He has since graduated.
During this time at the shelter, Robert put together a housing plan with help from our housing team. With limited income, Robert thought creatively and decided to share an apartment with another shelter guest. Sharing the apartment meant sharing the rent, a way to create affordability. Robert is also receiving a temporary rent subsidy through our Rapid Re-Housing program.
Now housed, Robert can fully recover from his foot injury and looks forward to accepting one of the job offers he's already received through his program with Goodwill.
Robert reminisces on his time at the shelter, "There are real people over there, caring people, who are all so helpful."
20+ Years of Homelessness Finally Ended
For Cedric*, experiencing homelessness was a way of life. Twenty plus years of life, in fact. In and out of Men's Shelter of Charlotte, our team patiently worked to cultivate and grow a trusted relationship with Cedric. Struggling with severe mental illness, Cedric needed significant support. That support started with us and ultimately found him a home with Moore Place, permanent supportive housing created by Urban Ministry Center.
The notion of "it takes a village" certainly held true for helping Cedric. His two decades of homelessness took him to two states, several shelters, and eventually, the streets. The "village of help" took some unconventional turns including candy, cigarettes, bagged lunches, microwavable ravioli and finally – relationships. In the end, it was these relationships that helped Cedric become housed.
Urban Ministry Center's Moore Place exists for the "Cedrics" of the world, those struggling with significant disabling conditions who can succeed with independent living while surrounded by a community of support. Cedric began developing relationships at Men's Shelter of Charlotte where we provided supportive staff, basic needs, and kept him off the streets. The simple tasks of obtaining his photo ID and social security card, both of which are necessary for housing, seemed monumental tasks with Cedric's struggles. Our staff's persistence, patience, and investments in candy and ravioli paid off – twenty years of homelessness were ended when Cedric signed his lease last month.
Men's Shelter of Charlotte – providing safe emergency shelter while working to end homelessness for each man!
(*) Note, Cedric is not this guest's real name. Name is protected to maintain confidentiality.
Trying to Find a New Way to Live
"I'm trying to find a new way to live. I'm trying to find my purpose."
After his mother lost her battle with cancer, Herman decided that staying in Durham was too painful and needed a fresh start. He moved to Charlotte and gained employment quickly. But after his housing plan didn't work out and with nowhere to go, he turned to Men's Shelter of Charlotte for help.
While Herman's basic needs were met, he also took advantage of the employment services at the shelter. He frequently visited our Housing and Employment Resource Center. There, Herman found skilled volunteers and our Employment VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) worker, Dawn, who helped improve his basic computer skills, build a resume, set up an email account, navigate online job applications, and much more. Herman was also provided transportation to Goodwill's Opportunity Campus (one of our key partnering organizations) to take advantage of workshops, budgeting classes and other vital employment resources.
Though Herman was employed, he found that with his newly acquired skills and certifications, many more opportunities became available. As a result, Herman landed a higher paying job as a cook with one of our employment partners, B.Good. Even better is that Herman is now with an employer where he can pursue a career in the culinary industry.
With new found stability, Herman moved into an apartment in early January with a roommate, also a former guest of Men's Shelter of Charlotte. Today, Herman continues "finding a new way to live" and is on the right track.

Q: how to receive and send with same parameter name in JAVA SOAP I have a SOAP web service code as below:
public void sumAndMultiplyAndReference
(@WebParam(name = "firstnumber")int a,
 @WebParam(name = "firstnumber")int b,
 @WebParam(name = "referencenumber")int c
 @WebParam(name = "sum", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> sum,
 @WebParam(name = "multiply", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> multiply,
 @WebParam(name = "reference", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> reference){
sum.value = a + b;
multiply.value = a * b;
reference.value = c;
}

It is working fine. But what should be changed in the code such that, the request parameter name = referencenumber and reply parameter name be same?
Note: here- request parameter name = referencenumber
response parameter name = reference

A: This works for me:
package org.toto.bla;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;

import javax.xml.ws.Holder;
@WebService
public class WSTest {
    @WebMethod
    public void sumAndMultiplyAndReference(@WebParam(name = "firstnumber") int a, @WebParam(name = "secondnumber") int b,
                                           @WebParam(name = "referencenumber") int c,
                                           @WebParam(name = "sum", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> sum,
                                           @WebParam(name = "multiply", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> multiply,
                                           @WebParam(name = "referencenumber", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> reference) {
        sum.value = a + b;
        multiply.value = a * b;
        reference.value = c;
    }
}

And here is the generated XSD from this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:ns0="http://bla.toto.org/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://exporter.vas.asgs.atos.net/">
   <xsd:complexType name="sumAndMultiplyAndReferenceResponse">
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="sum" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0"/>
         <xsd:element name="multiply" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0"/>
         <xsd:element name="referencenumber" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
   <xsd:complexType name="sumAndMultiplyAndReference">
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="firstnumber" type="xsd:int"/>
         <xsd:element name="secondnumber" type="xsd:int"/>
         <xsd:element name="referencenumber" type="xsd:int"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
   </xsd:complexType>
   <xsd:element name="sumAndMultiplyAndReferenceResponse" type="ns0:sumAndMultiplyAndReferenceResponse"/>
   <xsd:element name="sumAndMultiplyAndReference" type="ns0:sumAndMultiplyAndReference"/>
</xsd:schema>

You could also use the INOUT param type:
    package org.toto.bla;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;

import javax.xml.ws.Holder;

@WebService
public class WSTest {
    @WebMethod
    public void sumAndMultiplyAndReference(@WebParam(name = "firstnumber") int a, @WebParam(name = "secondnumber") int b,
                                           @WebParam(name = "sum", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> sum,
                                           @WebParam(name = "multiply", mode = WebParam.Mode.OUT) Holder<Integer> multiply,
                                           @WebParam(name = "referencenumber", mode = WebParam.Mode.INOUT) Holder<Integer> c) {
        sum.value = a + b;
        multiply.value = a * b;
    }
}

Which generates the exact same XSD.

A: Use WebParam.Mode.INOUT, that way you will be able to use it in bi-directional way.
Read from Apache about @WebParam, below is excerpt.

If the Holders were specified as WebParam.Mode.INOUT params, then the
  client could use them to send data and the application as well. The
  Holder instances would then be initialized with the data from the
  client request. The application could check the data before eventually
  overriting it with the response values.

When you choose a playground for your little one, safety does appear to be the main point of consideration. You can avail the expert advice of토토사이트 = 안전놀이터 = 메이저놀이터 = 사설토토사이트 . Any equipment on a playground would have gone through the safety protocols which do pave way for the minimum degree of injury when you are playing. The surfaces of the playground should not be an exception to this rule. To construct a playground there are various types of surfaces that are available in the market. In terms of a safe surface, each playground surface provides a distinct advantage. Among the various types of material, available rubber material would be an obvious choice as they restrict the chances of dangers.
Loose filling components are another choice which could act as a shock absorber. For a region that experiences earthquakes, this presents to be an apt choice. An exceptional level of padding for falls occurs and does go on to restricts the number of injuries that can occur. This soft padding would reduce the incidence of broken bones that children experience when they play on such surfaces. Take into consideration the fact that some children really play rough.
In comparison to the loose filling materials, rubber components provide an extra layer of cushion. For example, wood and sand components can conceal dangers to a considerable extent. Needles or pins you can easily hide and it becomes difficult to spot. With loose filling surfaces, you can install on top of hard surfaces. In due course of time, they go on to become a lot harder. This might develop a major hard surface over time. If you do not renew it then hard surfaces could pose a major danger in the days to come.
With flat surfaces of rubber mats, it does become easy to spot and provides considerable access to kids. There does arise to be less chance that kids are not going to stumble over obstacles once they go on to run around the premises. This does go on to provide a huge cause of concern for the kids. On the other side of the coin children with disabilities would give their nod of approval for rubber surfaces. They are a lot convenient and accessible as well.
Another area of question would be the texture of the playground surfaces. With wooden structures, they might be a course feeling to the surface which can scrap through the kids in an easy manner. Wooden surfaces are well known for their splinters and one wrong move you might end up in trouble. On the other hand when sandy surfaces become coarse when you lodge them on to the skin. With rubber surfaces, flat surfaces emerge that can go on to injure everyone. With rubber mats, you can go on to create a smooth surface that would last for a considerable amount of time.

Black African animal masks
As a preamble to any presentation of African masks, it should be remembered that the mask is a complex ensemble covering the dancer's body.
All too often, everything that has been transmitted to us from an African mask brings it back to the condition of an art object now regarded as such. Therefore, in order to go beyond the aesthetic vision, it seemed necessary to incorporate in this work ethnic indications and a few selected photographs of dancers to situate the masks in their social and religious context.

African Art An Introduction
The art of the Fangs, the Batekes, the Bakotas and other African peoples is probably best known to today's public through the impact they have had on modern culture and the translations given by Picasso, Braque or Modigliani.
These so-called "primitive" arts are however based on a set of presuppositions, cultural contexts, histories, worldviews absolutely other, which, often, we ignore everything. Frank Willett's book has been called by the Times Literary Supplement "the best general introduction to the study of African art, full of first-rate information, stimulating and fascinating."

Congo Art Works Popular Painting
Copy: Fondation Georges Arthur Forrest.
After independence, the first popular paintings appeared on the walls of Congolese interiors. These paintings have been described as "conversation pieces" - they are "in conversation" - because more than as objects, they are important, first of all, by the image they convey.
The meaning attributed to the images is not always fixed: each person can then go about his or her own interpretation, reflecting on the concerns of everyday life. Often considered as a colonial genre, Congolese popular painting is in fact part of a long history of drawing in the Democratic Republic of Congo that precedes colonization. (...)

Puppets and masks in the heart of African theatre
The purpose of this book is to present in a descriptive and analytical way the African puppet theater - without neglecting the mask theater - hoping to open some avenues for further study.
For a long time ignored in the West, the African puppet theater reveals itself, according to the most recent research, at least as important as the theater of masks, however more known.
The fruit of 35 years of research, matured during several years of stay in Africa, this study is aimed at both readers wishing to deepen their general knowledge and professionals in the performing arts. Theater historians, psychologists, therapists, and teachers will find information and, without a doubt, food for thought. Finally, the variety of forms, the richness of the materials used as well as the ...

The bird in the art of West Africa
This book accompanies the fifth thematic exhibition produced by the Société des Amateurs de l'Art Africain, entitled "L'oiseau dans l'art de l'Afrique de l'Ouest". Particular attention has been paid to the selection of pieces and the quality of the photos. The selection of pieces, especially for a thematic exhibition, is always a difficult undertaking. It was carried out in two stages. First of all, from the pieces proposed, a first selection was entrusted to the members of the exhibition committee set up (...), three essential criteria, aesthetic quality, age and finally originality, having been retained.

This book, the first of its kind, opens new perspectives in the study and knowledge of the arts and the functioning of African thought.
Starting from the principle that each human community has its own conception of the symbol and makes use of it according to its particular existential experience, the first part of the book shows, through concrete examples, the importance of the elements that make up the content of a culture, namely language, symbols, ritual practices, values and cultural references. (...)
The second part questions the concept of "art" from the conceptual fields constituted by the words that designate luba art objects. (...)
The third part proposes some analyses of symbolic objects in their natural contexts, from which emerge original suggestions of a ...

Preventive archaeology in Africa issues and perspectives
As construction and infrastructure works (highways, railways, mines, urban and industrial areas, etc.) accelerate and expand, it is no longer possible to ignore the dangers that bulldozers pose to the remains of the past.
Moving from a hasty rescue archaeology to a true preventive archaeology, which studies sites, cultures and landscapes before development takes place, the time has come - in Africa as elsewhere - to reconcile the respective requirements of scientific research, archaeological heritage management and economic and social development. In this volume, some twenty African and European researchers identify the issues at stake and address new perspectives for preventive archaeology in Mauritania, West Africa and the continent as a whole.

Bronzes gan The spiral of the snake
The presentation that you are invited to appreciate is one of the results of a long-term work that Mrs. Durieu has been undertaking on Burkina Faso for many years. It reflects her passion for ethnography and African art, as well as her friendship for the cultures of Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso, otherwise known as the country of men of integrity, is also a country of culture, rich and diverse, which should be appreciated at its true value, within the framework of this new ethic of cultural diversity promoted by UNESCO and the international community.

Sculptures of the Three Volta Bobo, Bwa, Lobi, Mossi, Gurunsi
This book accompanies the fourth exhibition organized by the Society of Amateurs of African Art, entitled "Sculptures of the Three Volta". (...) The book was written by Gabriel Massa and, for the presentation of the lobi pieces, by Jean-Claude Lauret.
The authors, without claiming to make a scientific work, after having presented in their history, their religion, their political and social organization, the different ethnic groups of the Three Volta region, have tried to give as much information as possible on the objects presented, especially in terms of their function.

Abomey's bas reliefs The Story Told on the Walls
The bas-reliefs of the palaces compensated in part for the absence of writing in Fon culture and constituted visual narratives that recalled the history, customs and rituals of this people.
For almost three centuries, the history of the Dahomean dynasty has been passed on by different characters, from the guardians of the cult and warlords to the heralds who declaimed the swords of kings.
Bas-reliefs can be interpreted on the one hand as symbols and allegories and on the other hand as an illustrated story. Their dominant theme is the glory of royalty, or more prosaically, the strength and centralization of royal power.

Miniatures Dogon An ousted art
Rock rifts, pebbles, stones raised, sacred or made sacred by the Dogon.A story always repeated. Objects stick to the support, tree, iron, stone, a tree branch becomes a fetish.
The miniaturization of everyday objects gives them a complex mission combining the sacred, the therapeutic and the religious. Unrecognized by the classical canons of art, these forgotten objects are ousted.
The authors of this book propose a poetic evocation between anthropology and art.

We support and broaden the scope of operations of Swedish business in markets which are politically, economically or socially complex. All our activities are carried out with a long term outlook.
Our interventions mainly focus on improving the structural conditions for business in the markets in which we operate, in order to promote economic and social development. We cooperate closely with both the public and the private sector, in Sweden as well as abroad. Additionally, our mission includes establishing networks of interest to Swedish businesses and representing Swedish business as a whole.
Our head office is located in Stockholm, Sweden, and we have local representation in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
Currently we have ongoing operations in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Please visit www.nir.se/en/programmes to find out more about our work in each respective region.
We were established in 1960 by Dr. Marcus Wallenberg Jr as the Swedish Industry's Council for Foreign Affairs. Initially the Council functioned as a forum for deliberations on Sweden's relationship with the European Economic Community (the predecessor of the EU). In the late 1970s, the name was changed to the International Council of Swedish Industry (Näringslivets Internationella Råd, NIR) and focus shifted to emerging markets. In 2006 NIR again underwent an additional narrowing of focus and since then we have focussed solely on targeting complex markets with untapped potential for Swedish business.
What type of organisation is NIR?
NIR is a non-profit organisation.
How is NIR's work financed?
NIR is financed by our members. When our objectives coincide with those of other organisations, such as the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), we may choose to enter into partnership that results in our receiving external funding for our involvement.
One of our fundamental beliefs is that the private sector can be a positive force in society and that the skills, abilities and unique characteristics of business should therefore be used towards this end. NIR also believes in dialogue and engagement as the way to promote development.

Q: Firebase .httpsCallable functions always returning "Maximum call stack size exceeded" I'm not sure I'm 100% on await and promise chaining, but I cannot for the life of me understand why any time I try to pass data to a httpsCallable function I get a "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error without the function ever being called.
I'm just trying to pass the user object returned from signInWithEmailAndPassword to my httpsCallable but cannot figure out how to without said error. Any pointers appreciated <3
const importFirebase = () => import(process.env.VUE_APP_MODE === 'web' ?
    'firebase' : 'nativescript-plugin-firebase/app')

const firebase = await importFirebase()
firebase
        .auth()
        .signInWithEmailAndPassword(signInData.email, signInData.password)
        .then((user) => {
               return firebase.functions().httpsCallable('doSomething')(user)
        })

A: The error typically means you're trying to serialize an object with internal circular references.  The first thing you should try is any object other than user.  Then, try composing an object based on what you pull out of user.  Just don't pass user itself, since it might not be safe to serialize in the default manner.

The area farms manager for Clive Soanes Broilers is participating in a challenging 81 mile race to raise funds for a colleague who passed away earlier this year.
Over the weekend of the November 24 and 25, ultra-runner Mark Ireland from Driffield will take on the gruelling Hardwolds 80 that follows the Wolds Way from Hessle through to the seaside resort of Filey.
Although Mark doesn't underestimate the challenge, he is no stranger to ultra-marathon events having completed the Hardmoors 55, the Lakeland 50 mile and the 100k Race to the Stones since he started running in 2015. Mark will be one of the 217 entrants from Great Britain, Denmark, France and Portugal.
Mark's fundraising initiative is the first in a series of events that the Middleton on the Wolds business has planned to raise money for charitable causes in Helen's memory.
Soanes Poultry is a family owned business which has been rearing and preparing chicken for 71 years. It currently employs 120 people and rears five million chickens a year on its Yorkshire farms and sells its chicken and game to butchers and independent retailers in Yorkshire and to wholesalers nationwide.


Miller came to the Loons in a deadline-day trade earlier this week with the Colorado Rapids. While he has yet to play a game this season, the outside back said Friday he was ready to go.
"The good thing about coming from Colorado is you train in altitude all the time," Miller said. "So you just naturally get really fit from that."
In all, this is a very different lineup for United, who has been hit with many injuries and also traded winger Sam Nicholson away for Miller.
"We've got 11 people injured,' coach Adrian Heath said. "Which is incredible because three or four weeks ago, we were talking about how lucky we've been with injuries. So that'll teach you not to open your mouth again."
Long-term injured are midfielder Ethan Finlay and Kevin Molino (ACLs), midfielder Sam Cronin (concussion) and left back Marc Burch, who just had surgery on a meniscus injury Friday. On the shorter term, right back Tyrone Mears continues to recover from a calf/Achilles injury. Center back Bertrand Owundi Eko'o and forward Christian Ramirez both have hamstring injuries. Forward Abu Danladi has an ankle sprain while midfielder Frantz Pangop has a rib contusion.
Heath said Pangop's injury was slight (hence why he is on the bench) and Owundi's hamstring tightness wasn't as bad as initially suspected. Holding midfielder Maximiano is also on the bench for the first time after fully recovering from his ACL injury from last summer.


Wellesley College is hosting the presidents, provosts, and other senior leaders of Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, and Vassar—schools that, along with Wellesley, historically have been referred to as the Seven Sisters—during this year's Seven College Conference, held November 27 and 28.
Connected by their long histories as women's colleges and their shared mission to make education more widely accessible, these schools continue to be learning and residential environments where women can thrive.
As part of the conference, Beverly Daniel Tatum, author and president emerita of Spelman College, led a workshop for the attendees. Tatum speaks widely on strategies for creating inclusive campus environments, the impact of race in the classroom, and higher education leadership. She has authored several books including the best-selling "Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?"and Other Conversations About Race.


These days we have organized tournament play or "living" campaigns where a player can bring the same character they used in an earlier adventure to the current tournament.
Although no longer a thing, this used to happen all the time back in the early days of D&D.
The "founding fathers" of gaming often played in a fairly *pick-up game* style -- between sessions you may have very different player composition. Thus characters came and went, based on player availability.
This was aided by the monetary focus of AD&D exp -- sessions often ended up back in a town or safe haven, where treasure could be sold, and consumables purchased, training could be paid for, and so on.
It was less common to have a "cliff-hanger" or other mid-adventure session-end, so the issue of where Alpha the fighter or Bravo the thief went between sessions wasn't as big an issue.
Likewise, level disparity in the party wasn't as big an issue -- you normally had a handful of henchmen with you, and often a small army of hirelings too. The size of Wilderness encounters often made *not* travelling with a small army of mercenaries hazardous.
> Ex. In AD&D an encounter with Orcs was with 30-300 Orcs. 300 Orcs was going to be a bad time unless you could run, but even 30 was a perilous number for a party of four low level adventurers.
A party with a 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th lvl characters might not have been common, but it wasn't impossible. Keep in mind that Level Drain was **permanent** in AD&D1, and there was no (non-wish) way to restore it short of going out there and earning that Exp all over again.
It became common, when someone announced that they would run a game, that players would bring their best character. You *could* insist in starting everyone at first level, but one often received the kind of incredulous reactions a major-league sports franchise would get if they announced that they were starting with an all-rookie team.
*Story*-driven gaming wasn't that big a thing in the era before Dragonlance, stories emerged through play. So why would you not want "Lord Thrakkerzog the God Annihilator" in your game?
And there were some doozies. You met the guy who had "wished all his stats to max" in a previous campaign, hanging out with the guy whose character killed Thor and now uses his hammer. There were plenty of horror stories.
But on the other side of the coin, there was some great gaming. Players knew their *characters* (and there weren't many mechanics, so I'm not talking about skill-feat-combos) and cared about them. They were invested.
And those stories that emerged through play? They sure did. It was awesome.
By the mid-late 80's that era had faded. A new generation of gamer had been spawned, after Dragonlance *story* began to drive the game, instead of the other way around. There were some down-sides: railroading GMs began to haunt the landscape like killer-GMs once had. But there were some upsides too. You no longer had to explain in detail why Lord Thrakkerzog couldn't be a character in your game, his player understood that "I'm starting a new game" also meant that you were starting a new story -- Lord T had already had his moment in the sun.

Whenever I see truffle oil I am reminded of people on Chopped who at the last second think "I need just one more thing!" and they reach for the truffle oil and it overpowers the dish.
I bought a little bottle of truffle oil at Walmart cause I specifically wanted to make this recipe…that little bottle…$10!!! Gonna make them tonight.
I know! Truffle oil is pricey. Sometimes you can find it at TJMaxx & places like that cheaper, or get a truffle oil blend. I hope you liked them, they are a favorite around here!

Point guard Sergio Rodriguez plans to negotiate a return to the NBA in free agency this summer, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
Point guard Sergio Rodriguez plans to negotiate a return to the NBA in free agency this summer, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
The 29-year-old has spent the last five seasons with Real Madrid in the ACB League and is considered one of the best point guards in Europe.
There is a buyout provision in Rodriguez's Real Madrid contract, but sources familiar with the agreement say it will not be an obstacle to him signing an NBA deal this summer.
Rodriguez's representatives at CAA began to make calls to teams Friday to gauge initial market interest on the guard, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Rodriguez was selected in the first round of the 2006 draft. He played three seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and also had stints with the Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks.
Over four NBA seasons, Rodriguez averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 assists while shooting 41.8 percent from the field.

Liverpool keeping tabs on 20-year-old Sevilla ace
By Casey Graves | January 13, 2021
In spite of conceding four goals on his senior team debut for Sevilla, 20-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor Vacas is a wanted man, with one report stating that both Liverpool and Real Madrid are admirers.
He was handed a surprise start versus Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday night after second-choice Tomas Vaclik suffered an injury in the pre-match warm-up.
Tomas himself was only due to play after first-choice Yassine Bounou contract COVID-19.
In fact, Alfonso was only registered for his side's Champions League roster in order to fit UEFA's homegrown requirements, with regular third-choice shot-stopper Javi Diaz left out.
Though Chelsea ran out 4-0 winners because of Olivier Giroud's excellence, academy-product Alfonso did his growing reputation no harm – making two saves.
AS report that both the Reds and Los Blancos 'have set their eyes' on the youngster, whose contract will be no longer valid at the end of the season.
The Anfield outfit currently have the world-class Alisson Becker as their first-choice shot-stopper but may look to improve their backup variants soon.
33-year-old Adrian has been guilty of several high-profile mistakes in recent displays and was benched in favour of youngster Caiomhin Kelleher for the midweek win against Ajax.
While 22-year-old Caiomhin could be promoted to Liverpool's first-choice stand-in, Adrian's deal expires at the end of the campaign, which could open up a berth for another star to come in.
The Reds do also have highly rated talents Vitezslav Jaros and Marcelo Pitaluga on their books, while on-loan Loris Karius has a deal that runs until June 2022.
Whether the Reds would want another teenager to add to their current team or a more experienced Adrian-type remains to be seen.

A short hop on Maharaja's ATR42: BLR to COK
Air India, the national carrier of India, is always an airline of fantasy for me. Also known the Maharaja, Air India flies a puny ATR-42 to Kochi from Bengaluru (this is Air India's only ATR route in South India). The flight is operated by their subsidiary, Air India Regional, and operates only on 6 days of the week (except Sunday). The Aircraft operates Bengaluru-Kochi-Agati (Lakshadweep Islands) and back. Since they don't fly on Sundays, and their Bengaluru-Kochi flight is in the morning, I never had an opportunity to fly them. Sometime in November, Air India came up with a sale, and sold tickets at very cheap rates. I decided to grab the opportunity and booked a ticket on the morning flight for a Saturday departure in mid January - a whole 2 months in advance. This was perhaps the first booking done without the routine hunt for cheap tickets. It was a long wait for the D-Day! In the meantime, Air India received their first ATR 72-600 - I was a bit worried if they would replace the ATR-42 with the newer ATR72. Either ways, it would be a new type for me.
The day before my journey was a long tiring day - I had to travel to Mysore for an official work, and was back home quite late in the night. I had hardly 4 hours to sleep, and I remained confused about how to go to the airport the next morning. I kept shifting between taking a bus or hiring a cab through to the airport. I decided to book a cab, using an offer by a major airport taxi operator. I booked my cab and caught up with some sleep.
The cab driver called me at 5AM sharp (right after the SMS came from the taxi operator) - but my phone acted up, and did not let me answer calls. I called him back and explained the way to reach my home - a Toyota Etios landed at my home around 0520, and we headed to the airport. The cab driver wasn't very slow - he jumped a few speed-breakers and potholes, and the car wasn't in great shape either (lots of rattles). The gps unit in the car kept shouting at the driver for going fast and kept asking him to slow down - but no response by the driver. I was dropped at the airport a while past 0600hrs. The airport was quite crowded - heavy crowd for the time. There were lots of people mobbing the entry points of the terminal building. After clicking some pics, I headed to the last entry point - since the Air India counters were towards the end. The herd mentality was quite evident here - each entry point has three doors - but all the people mobbed one door. I headed to the empty one nearby and got into the terminal. The time was just past 0625hrs - I had close to two hours to go.
Departures entry
The Departures information display
I was using Air India out of Bangalore for the first time, and hence was clueless about where their Check-in counters are. The departure display systems showed that the check-in for Air-India was at counters #79-86. These were the last check-in counters in the terminal building. The counters were absolutely empty - there was just one person ahead of me for check-in. Check-in was progressing quite slow, and it took some time for my turn. The agent at the check-in counter smiled and gave a warm good morning as I handed over my ticket for check-in. She keyed in the details (AI e-Tickets do not contain a bar-code for some reason), and asked if I wanted to change my pre-selected seats. I chose to move a row forward (don't know if that was a wrong decision) - she quickly got me my new seat number and printed out the boarding card. She clearly told the gate is at a lower level, but I had to go to the first level for security check. That was nice.
The Air India Check-in counters. #79-84. The elevators next to the counter leads to Security Check area.
My boarding pass..
I took the elevators next to the check-in counters. The elevator leaves you outside the MS Ramaiah Hospital at the airport. Then a short walk towards Security Check. Security check was crowded - really crowded. It took close to 10 minutes to only leave my bag for screening. Frisking was real quick - just a couple of minutes, because all the crowd was held up at baggage screening itself. As usual, my bag was scanned twice - this time an Umbrella being the culprit. I cleared Security, and got into the waiting area by around 0650hrs. I was quite hungry by now, and headed straight to Malgudi Express for a quick breakfast. I liked the food there last time, and tried a different dish this time. Podi Idli and a degree coffee was my breakfast for the day. Food at BIAL is never too expensive - and thats a fact I love of BIAL. There are plenty of options too. Coming to the food - soft idlis coated in podi (a coarse powder mixture of ground dry spices that typically contains dried chilis, urad (bean), chickpea, and sesame seeds) accompanied by Coconut Chutney. The coffee was good as well.
Yummy Podi Idli from Malgudi Express..
That is Malgudi Express...
Below lies Gate #19.
After my breakfast, I headed towards my gate. This the first time I was boarding from Gate #19. The terminal has departure gates on both the lower level as well as the first level. The lower level gates are typical Bus Gates, where the passengers are bus'd to the aircraft, while the gates on the upper level have Jetways aka aerobridges. The first level has gates 1-2, 7-9 and 15 (6 gates and two sub gates - we can count them as 8 gates), while the lower level has gates 3-6, 10-14, 19 and 20 (11 gates). There are three gates on the upper level exclusively for international flights as well. My boarding was from Gate #19, a lower level gate located at the eastern most end of the building. Soon after reaching the terminal, I realised this place was a brilliant place for Aviation geeks to spot some incoming aircrafts. Gate 20 was empty, while Gate 19 was more or less empty - people were just coming in. The runway was quite active with a lot of takeoffs happening - the runway was too far for me to read registrations, and it was slightly foggy as well.
That is Gate #19. Pic taken just before boarding commenced.
VT-SCR taxiing to its stand. In the background is VT-ABO, which would fly me to COK
As I settled down, I spotted an Oman Air B737 (A4O-BA) heading out of the terminal on its long journey to Muscat. In the meantime, Indigo A320 (VT-IAS) too headed out to Dubai. An unknown Indigo A320 too came in (could not notice the registration). Then came an Air India A319 (VT-SCR) from Mumbai. Unusually, a boarding announcement was made. Bangalore is otherwise a silent airport, and there are boards at many points saying there would be no announcements. I was quite suprised by the announcement - it was a proper announcement on the PA system - probably a practice in these extremely remote gates. They announced the flight as AI9505 (the boarding pass says (9I505, MKT: AI 9505). Soon after the announcement was made, queue formed. The boarding process was quite fast - we are talking of just 48 passengers anyway! A Volvo of AI-SATS was taking us to the aircraft. While sitting in the bus, Go Air's VT-GOQ came in from Mumbai, followed by Jet Airways' ATR72-500 VT-JDD (in JetKonnect livery). The bus started its long run at 0801hrs. We passed by a Jet Airways B737, Go Air's VT-GOQ, AI A319 (VT-SCR), and JetKonnect VT-SIZ as we reached the end of the terminal building. The bus then crosses the apron to reach the northern end of the apron, and then runs towards the aircraft (which was incidentally parked right opposite to the gate where we took the bus). While we were heading to the aircraft, Air India's A319 VT-SCH was pushed back, and was preparing to taxi. Soon after we reached the aircraft, SpiceJet's Q400 VT-SUD landed. We weren't permitted to get off the bus immediately on reaching the aircraft (at Stand 86) since the aircraft wasn't still ready.
Date of Journey: January 17, 2015

Sector flown: Bengaluru - Kochi
Aircraft type: ATR 42-320 || Regn: VT-ABO

STA: 0935hrs, ATA: 0951hrs
That is my VT-ABO...
One more look at VT-ABO.. lots of people were awestruck seeing this small a plane!
Boarding took some time. I was inside the aircraft by 0812. Oh! By the way, we were flying VT-ABO, one of the three active ATR 42-320s of Air India Regional. The aircraft was built in 1995, and was leased by AI-R in 2008. It worked earlier in India as VT-ADE for Air Deccan in the 2004-2007 period. At almost 20 years of age, the aircraft has surely seen better days. The aircraft looked resplendent in the flying swan livery of Air India. The interiors surely showed age - the plastics were all worn out, and the windows weren't very clean. The seats were in fairly good shape though. The overhead bins were very small - in fact, a few passengers with oversized luggage were asked to wait and their luggage were handled differently (not sure what exactly was done, since I had already got in). Boarding was completed by 0819, and the doors were armed.
One pic just before getting in..
The interiors... (taken during the flight)
Soon after the doors were armed, the safety demonstration began. The Purser (Mrs. Sharmishta) sounded very excited as she welcomed all passengers to Air India. Capt HB Singh and Capt Peter Hanks were in the deck. Push back commenced at 0823. By now the safety demo was over. The aircraft shook violently as the Pratt & Whitney 121s came to life. The interiors were all rattling as the aircraft powered up. We started taxi at 0827hrs. While we were taxiing, an Air India A319 took off. It was actually a long run from the stand to the runway - we had to actually run the entire length of the runway. We finally took off at 0834hrs. After take off, the aircraft did a couple of right banks and we took our South-Western direction. Soon after, the seatbelt signs went off, and the buy-on-board service was commenced. A bottle of water was given free to all passengers, and they had an assortment of sandwiches and packed snacks for sale. Capt Peter Hanks came on PA soon after, a made a very excited announcement that we had clear weather ahead and we should be landing on time in COK.
in flight...
The sandwich and water bottle..
The buy-on-board service was quite nice - the FA made sure she asked each passenger if they wanted to buy something - menu cards were available on request. I decided to try a Veg Sandwich - the soft sweet corn and cheese sandwich costed just Rs. 100! We were flying at FL180. It was fairly cloudy, and the western ghats looked beautiful as they were covered with clouds. There was a round of trash collection before landing was announced. Landing was announced at 0927. The aircraft headed south first, then banked right twice (completing a U-turn) and then flew North-west and finally aligned to the landing path. We finally touched down at 0948 on runway 27. The aircraft shivered and shook violently as it slowed down after touchdown, and turned to the taxiway. We finally parked at Stand 7 at 0951. Deboarding commenced in about a minute, and I was out of the aircraft at 0953. A bus took passengers to the terminal. Since I did not have any checked-in bags, I just walked out of the terminal, and got into a KSRTC Volvo waiting outside.
Banking.. as we align to the landing path..
Finals....
Landed on Rwy27...
On the ground...
The service on-board was great. Both the flight attendents were young and were very active. Passengers' calls were answered quickly and with a smile. They even ensured all passengers were welcomed with Good Morning, even as people mobbed into the aircraft, and ensured they said a Thank you and wished a good day as passengers got off the aircraft. I really liked the service. The aircraft was not in great shape - the interiors were really worn out. The aircraft rattled and made a lot of noise as it flew. The landing was smooth. One thing I did not like is that the service is a buy-on-board - despite being the most expensive option in the sector. The other FSC on the route, Jet Airways, which also flies an ATR, is often the cheapest in the sector. Almost all the passengers got off the aircraft at Kochi - I wonder what loads does the aircraft have on its Kochi-Agati sector.
The broken reading lamp...
Stenciled instructions.. resembling a government bus!
Check-in: 5/5 (Absolutely no-nonsense)
Cleanliness: 5/5 (the interiors were clean, windows were soiled though)
Punctuality: 4.5/5 (Left late, arrived later)
Crew: 5/5 (Great service)
On-Board Service: 5/5 (Was inexpensive, the food was good as well)
Overall: 4.75/5

The town's name derives from the Latin phrase "Statio ad Martis", one of the antique Roman coach stations, located on the Via Flaminia. Municipality in the province of Perugia, located near the Martani mountains, bordering the province of Terni, Massa Martana is a typical medieval village, whose territory is crossed by the ancient Via Flaminia, famous for being particularly rich in forests and old churches. The economy is based on the production of fine wines, olive oil, truffles, while a strong income is produced by the distribution of the mineral waters, extracted from local springs.
The first settlements arose thanks to the construction of the Via Flaminia in 220 B.C. and in the area there are several testimonies of the Roman presence. Originally only a shelter for travelers and soldiers, it quickly developed and became a small town. After the fall of the Roman Empire , Umbria was occupied by various invaders, including Goths, who engaged a fierce battle against the Byzantines to conquer the territory. In this context, the village remained severely damaged, but managed to return to its former glory thanks to the particular period of peace, that it experienced under the rule of Spoleto. In medieval times it belonged to the Bonaccorsi, who, in 1094, built defensive walls, and in the XIII century, it passed to the Bentivegna and thereafter to the Papal States.
Attractions:
- the Church of Santa Maria in Pantano, whose existence was reported already in a document which dates back to the VII-VIII century, features a XIV century façade. Inside there are three naves and a series of Roman frescoes;

- the XV century Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, flanked by a splendid Bell Tower;

New Mercedes E-Class Coupe: prices, specs & release date
The new Mercedes E-Class Coupe will offer four engines, four-wheel drive and economy of up to 70mpg
The new Mercedes E-Class Coupe will be officially unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show next month, but we bring you all the details ahead of that. The E-Class Coupe is mechanically similar to the E-Class saloon, but offers sleeker, more streamlined looks, frameless windows and just two doors.
Mercedes claims the new E-Class Coupe will "comfortably" seat four people, while also offering "refined driving pleasure". Buyers will be offered the choice of two petrol engines and one diesel initially, with the top-of-the-range E400 getting four-wheel drive as standard.
New Mercedes E-Class Coupe design
As is to be expected, the new E-Class Coupe follows Mercedes' latest design language. Its tapered boot and rear evoke the more expensive S-Class Coupe, while following the cues set out by the smaller C-Class Coupe. It's a similar story at the front, where Mercedes' familial lines are also clear to see. LED running lights and headlights, strakes in the lower air vents and a pronounced three-pointed star leave no doubt as to the E-Class Coupe's provenance – not to mention its prominence.
Inside, we can see the Coupe's design closely follows the E-Class saloon's, with higher-spec models getting two huge 12.3-inch digital screens; one of these sits in place of the traditional analogue speedometer and rev counter.
The distinctive, silvered round air vents of the saloon are also present, but in the Coupe these benefit from a more intricate, spindled design. Mercedes latest COMAND infotainment system also features, as does a high-end Burmester stereo if you choose the Premium Plus pack.
Three engines will initially be offered with the E-Class Coupe. The only diesel is the 191bhp E220d and this is the fuel-economy star, officially returning 70mpg. It also produces less CO2 – 106g/km to be precise – than any other model. This means company car users can expect a Benefit-in-Kind rate of 21% if they choose the diesel Coupe.
If you're after a petrol engined E-Class Coupe, the 2.0-litre E300 produces 242bhp and returns 44mpg, while the top-of-the-range 3.0-litre E400 produces 328bhp and manages 35mpg. This last engine is the only six-cylinder in the initial line-up, and also comes with Mercedes' 4MATIC four-wheel-drive system.
Whichever engine you go for, performance in the new E-Class Coupe will either be brisk, fast or seriously swift. The slowest engine – the diesel E220d – takes 7.4 seconds to go from 0-62mph, while E300 is a second quicker and the E400 4MATIC takes just 5.3 seconds to do the same. All cars come with a nine-speed automatic gearbox as standard.
Because first deliveries of the new Mercedes E-Class Coupe aren't expected until spring 2017, next April's new set of road tax rules will apply. Under these, all E-Class Coupes will be £450 a year for the first five years of ownership, as the starting price is over £40,000.
The E-Class Coupe is being initially offered in AMG Line trim only. This includes 19-inch alloy wheels, all-round LED lights, an assertive bodykit, ambient lighting, part synthetic leather part, suede-effect seats, a DAB radio and sat nav. The interior and exterior are also adorned with flashes of chrome and stainless steel, while the E400 comes with air suspension as standard.
The Coupe's suspension is 15mm lower than the E-Class saloon's, which should minimise body lean and encourage spirited driving. All cars come with a 'Dynamic Select' feature, too, which allows you to choose from ECO, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual modes as the mood takes.
Although AMG Line is the only trim, there are a couple of equipment packs to choose from. The Premium package costs just under £2,800 and adds keyless entry and go, as well as a powered bootlid. It also brings a panoramic sunroof and a memory function for the seats, mirrors and steering wheel.
Shell out a shade under £4,000 for the Premium Plus pack and you get upgraded 'Multibeam' headlights (see below) and a Burmester surround sound stereo, in addition to the kit listed above. The Night Package, meanwhile, brings gloss black wheels and exterior trim details, as well as tinted rear windows, for around £600.
Many buyers will be drawn to the optional 20-inch alloy wheels, which are £595, and don't forget to factor in metallic paint, which is £645. Genuine leather seats are either £1,095 or £1,595 depending on quality, while wooden dashboard trim inserts are £645.
Other options include heated armrests, soft-closing doors, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera system and an integrated air freshener.
The new E-Class Coupe wouldn't be a modern, high-end Mercedes if there weren't some serious technology on offer. If you choose Mercedes' latest COMAND Online package (it's just under £1,500, though standard on the E400) full smartphone integration – including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – features, as does wireless phone charging. The E-Class Coupe's aerial can also act as a signal booster for mobile networks, while Near Field Communication (NFC) means the car can be locked and unlocked with a mobile phone, should you wish. With COMAND Online fitted, the additional 12.3-inch dashboard screen becomes available, though you'll need a further £500 or so if you want this.
Lights are all the rage right now in car design and the E-Class Coupe has a couple of party tricks up its sleeve when it comes to illumination. Its optional LED 'Multibeam' headlights – first seen on the Mercedes CLS four-door coupe – comprise 84 individual LED beams that automatically adjust their distribution on the road, giving you optimum brightness without dazzling oncoming traffic
These are complemented by LED rear lights, which illuminate progressively from the centre of the car outwards when it's opened, reversing this salutation sequence when it's locked.
Another neat feature: Mercedes' 'Magic' windscreen wipers come as standard. These squirt washer fluid directly along the length of the wiper blade body, rather than screenwash being jetted out separately. The system is said to significantly reduce the reduction in visibility that can follow cleaning the windscreen on the move.
Mercedes has a genuinely impressive reputation for safety, so it's no surprise to learn the new E-Class Coupe comes as standard with autonomous emergency braking (AEB). This relatively recent protective system brakes the car for you automatically if it senses an obstacle you've not taken appropriate action to avoid. Research suggests it can reduce rear-end collisions by as much as 38%.
Specify the Drive Pilot system and the E-Class Coupe will automatically follow the car in front at speeds up to 130mph, while the 'Remote Parking Pilot' allows you to use a smartphone app to pull in and out of parking spaces and garages.
Price and on-sale date
The new Mercedes E-Class Coupe starts at around £40,135 for the E220d, rising to £50,775 for the range-topping E400. Order books are set to open soon, with first customer deliveries expected in April 2017.


The Education Academy (T.E.A.) at St. Aidan began as a volunteer-based program in 2008. Their main focus was, and still is to build the character of children. This year's primary focus is French, since Canada is a bilingual country. The program has grown each year by word of mouth alone, with no advertising, resulting in children coming all the way from Etobicoke and Whitby.
The organization's target age range is from Junior kindergarten to Grade 8. They keep the program as cheap as possible, so it will be accessible to everyone. The goal of the organization is to motivate the campers, and let them have a safe and fun experience throughout the summer.
All T.E.A. programs live by what they call their T.O.P. philosophy, which stands for Teachers LOves Pupils. T.E.A. is known for creating a caring community, and a homey atmosphere for all of it pupils.
Other Info: T.E.A. also offers evening, weekend, and after school programs and has several locations in the GTA and surrounding areas. Go to their website for more information.

Q&A: A trillion-ton iceberg is floating in the sea. Now what?
It's clear that global warming is contributing to the broader destabilization of Antarctica, said Eric Rignot, professor of Earth systems sciences at the University of California, Irvine, and a senior research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "The ice front starts to retreats, it does that because the ice shelf is thinning from warming," he told CNN. "At some point, it reaches a threshold in which the whole ice shelf can collapse in a domino effect like it did for Larsen B."

Scientists predict parts of Southern California could face chronic flooding from rising sea levels
"This is a tool to increase awareness about low areas along coastlines that are vulnerable to increasing flooding," said UC Irvine civil engineering professor Brett Sanders, who works on the FloodRISE project that illustrates flooding from Orange County to Baja California. But he noted there are infrastructure plans in place to mitigate some of the effects of sea water overrunning parts of Southern California's shoreline cities.

Hair speaks through 'words' and 'sentences': Reactivating lost communication could cure baldness AND unwanted growth
Lead author Maksim Plikus from the University of California in Irvine, said: 'We showed that although different signaling "dialects" may exist between belly and back skin, for instance, all hairs can understand one another through the use of similar "words" and "sentences". 'If communication between non-balding and balding regions can be reactivated, hair growth signals can then start spreading across the entire head skin, preventing regional baldness.'
