Tubal reversal with Dr. Rosenfeld was great. I was not in pain, felt good and had no problems. On the first day, stayed home and rested. On the second day, went shopping! Thank you for making this experience possible.


The teacher was pointing the gun at the ceiling to make sure it was not loaded when the weapon discharged.
SEASIDE, Calif. — A teacher who accidentally fired a gun inside a Northern California classroom while teaching firearm safety has resigned.
KSBW-TV reports that Dennis Alexander submitted his resignation to the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District on March 29. It will be effective at the end of the school year.
Police say Alexander last month was pointing the gun at the ceiling to make sure it was not loaded when the weapon discharged. No one sustained serious injuries.
School district spokeswoman Marci McFadden says Alexander remains on administrative leave while the internal disciplinary process continues.
Alexander is an administration of justice teacher at Seaside High School, reserve Sand City police officer, and Seaside City Council member.
The coastal community is about 115 miles (185 kilometers) south of San Francisco.

Q: Debug extension pauseRequest not called I'm working on a debugger extension. I have it to where it loads and will call evaluateRequest() when something is typed in the debug console. However, pauseRequest() does not get called when I click on the pause button.
class Session extends DebugSession {
    constructor() {
        super();

        this.setDebuggerLinesStartAt1(false);
        this.setDebuggerColumnsStartAt1(false);
    }

    initializeRequest(resp, args) {
        resp.body.supportsDataBreakpoints = false;
        resp.body.supportsBreakpointLocationsRequest = false;

        this.sendResponse(resp);
    }

    launchRequest(resp, args) {
        console.log('launchRequest');
        this.sendResponse(resp);
    }

    pauseRequest(resp, args) {
        console.log('pauseRequest');
        this.sendResponse(resp);
    }

    evaluateRequest(resp, args, req) {
        const text = req.arguments.expression;

        console.log(`evaluateRequest ${text}`);
        this.sendResponse(resp);
    }
}

class InlineDebugAdapterFactory {
    createDebugAdapterDescriptor(_session) {
        return new vscode.DebugAdapterInlineImplementation(new Session());
    }
}

module.exports.activate = (ctx) => {
    const factory = new InlineDebugAdapterFactory();

    ctx.subscriptions.push(vscode.debug.registerDebugAdapterDescriptorFactory('my-debugger', factory));
    ctx.subscriptions.push(factory);
}

I'm at a loss as to how to figure out why pauseRequest isn't getting called. Is there a way to have VSCode break when the pause button is hit so I can step through it?
Edit:
Apparently the pause button doesn't work until it knows about the threads from threadsRequest() being called. The only way I've found to force that to happen is by sending a StoppedEvent.
Is there no way to start the debugger in a running state?

A: This feels like a hack, but it works. In launchRequest(), send a stopped event without specifying a thread number. That'll force it to call threadsRequest() and the pause button starts working.

When we began doing research for the South Africa portion of our trip we found a lot of information about township tours. After our amazing experience touring Dharavi in Mumbai we knew we wanted to include some kind of township visit into our stay. The most famous and widely visited is a township called Soweto, just outside of downtown Johannesburg…although that's not the one we decided to visit.
Instead we followed the recommendation of our amazing Cape Town backpacker, The B.I.G. (stay there!!), and booked a tour to visit Langa Township. I know that there are some people out there who aren't super keen to go on one of these tours, but I can assure you if you skip it you'll only be doing yourself an injustice. Our day spent in Langa was a highlight of our trip and I have a feeling it will hold strong in the top five.
The morning of our tour we were picked up by Chippa Mngangwawho, I can say, without irony or exaggeration, is one of the happiest people I've ever met. Chippa founded Imivuyo Tours (which of course means happiness in Xhosa) and provides insightful and meaningful tours not only through Langa, but also through other parts of the city. Being the low season we got lucky and had him and the tour all to ourselves. As we piled into the van he immediately began sharing some history to help us better understand the neighborhood we were headed into.
Langa was originally designed in a way to allow the authorities maximum visibility and control of residents […] however, close living conditions of residents in Langa promoted a high degree of neighborliness and the creation of broader African institutions that promoted a greater sense of community cohesion. On the 30 March 1960 Langa was the starting point for a march of 30,000 – 50,000 protesters to Nyanga police station led by Pan Africanist Congress to protest the hated Apartheid era pass laws.
We began our tour at the Guga Sthebe Arts & Culture Centre where we were able to learn about the many community art projects. Here local artists take on groups of children (ages 6-18) to teach them craft skills from pottery to painting. These projects are used to not only keep the kids safer and off the streets, but also to help teach them a trade that they can use to help support their families.
The community center had their own pottery studio with two kilns. The pottery they produce can be found at markets all over South Africa.
We loved all of the pieces and enjoyed the stress-free atmosphere of the shops set up at the entrance. One of the potters explained that most of their sales are made to market vendors and large companies (mostly universities looking for commemorative pieces) so there is no need to pressure the visitors. The relaxed environment provided us with the opportunity to learn more about the youth programs and the techniques, but also about the artists themselves.
It was fascinating to learn how these paintings were made. It was a multi-step process involving paint, sand and markers.
We also stumbled upon a presentation being made by the Triangle Project. They work to empower LGBT youth in the township and provide them with a safe and supportive environment to learn about their rights and available resources. We were happy to learn, and at the same time embarrassed by our own country's policies, that the South African constitution forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation. We wanted to stay and listen to the whole presentation, but we had much more to see.
The Triangle Project was hosting a educational event for the LGBT youth of the township.
A big portion of the tour is visiting homes and we got to visit four examples that demonstrated the true economic diversity among the township residents. First we were taken to a block of 'houses' made of shipping containers. As we approached I was amazed that each one could fit a family and then shocked to find out that they were each divided into two homes.
Each shipping container held two families.
At first I felt a little wary of going inside, wasn't it rude? This is always my hang up on tours like these. Wasn't it the manifestation of 'white privilege' to show up at these peoples' doors and essentially say "wow, you're so poor, can I take a picture to show all of my friends back home"…or is my guilt the real manifestation? I reminded myself that one of the biggest reasons we travel is to learn about how other people live and if they are kind enough to invite us into their homes then we should just appreciate their generosity.
This family of five (not including Chippa who couldn't resist photo bombing plus one son not pictured) all live in this tiny half of a shipping container. On this left side is one full size bed, along with everything they own.
On the right was their kitchen. When I asked about house fires we were not surprised to hear that they were very common.
I couldn't get over it. It would be one thing if Cape Town was a place with pleasant weather all year long so that the majority of living could be done outside, but it experiences a pretty good four season rotation and on days like today the rain kept most people inside. Just as I was thinking that it must be so hard in the cold and the rain I remembered that we were inside of a non-insulated metal can, and shuddered at the thought of hot sunny days. Chippa explained that this family had been on the list to be moved into one of the new apartments in the township, but their spot kept getting stolen. Apparently it was common for people to have their spots taken, either as a result of dishonest neighbors stealing their identity or good old fashion government corruption. Either way, this family was still waiting and would apparently be waiting for a while.
It was quite cold that day so fires were lit inside of the bars. It helped warm things up but created a ton of smoke.
Next we headed for the 'Long Street' of Langa. This row was where most of the township's bars could be found. Run by women and patronized by men, these dark, smoky rooms served up the local beer, Umqombothi (I still cant pronounce it). The relatively weak drink (about 3%) is made from maize (corn), maize malt, sorghum malt, yeast and water. It's apparently very rich in Vitamin B and has a slightly lighter and sourer (I checked and that is a word) flavor than typical beers we're used to. Purchased by the bucket for about $1 and then passed around it is a favorite among the locals. We took our seats among the other patrons and Chippa demonstrated the proper technique – blow, tilt and sip. While I am not a huge fan of beer to begin with I never pass up an opportunity to try something new. I was actually surprised by how good it was, although I still don't think I could enjoy a pint on my own.
After buying the round, Chippa was kind enough to demonstrate the proper way to drink Umqombothi.
After our beer break we moved onto the 'nicer' apartment blocks. Again I thought, 'Well at least this is better. It might still be tight but they have insulation, indoor plumbing and a little more room.' Again my preconceived notions we demolished when we entered the apartment. We were lead through a common area and into a bedroom cramped with three beds and a spattering of personal belongings ranging from clothes to cookware. Similar to the first home I was shocked by the electrical setup and couldn't help but worry about the fire hazard. Just as I was thinking that it was tighter than I had originally imagined Chippa informed us that each bed area was home to a family…an entire family! So three families shared this tiny living space. He told us that the same was true of the other bedrooms. That was also when he informed us that this was the type of housing he grew up in.
This lovely woman was kind enough to let us into her home. This photo shows her family's living area (1 of 3 in this tiny room).
All I could do was stare around the room. I tried to imagine what it must be like when everyone was home and couldn't wrap my brain around it. With just us it was unpleasant, so I couldn't imagine tripling the number. It was just another reminder of our need to reevaluate how much space we actually needed to be happy.
This woman was hilarious and stopped me to insist that I take her picture. She was dressed to the nines and made me look like a scrub.
It was very interesting to see the creative ways the storage containers were used. Any shop you could imagine was housed in one.
One of the most interesting things in the township, even among the poorest residents, was the number of mobile phones. Similar to Dharavi nearly everyone had one and in most cases they had two.
Despite the rain and the cold life in Langa went on as usual.
It seemed like we were 1,000 miles away from the Cape Town we had first been introduced to, but we appreciated the opportunity to be exposed to this side of the city.
For lunch it was time to move onto the 'Beverly Hills' of the township (Chippa's title). This part of town really looked like it could fit in anywhere. Mid-size ranch bungalows were set along organized streets on manicured lawns. He proudly proclaimed that this was where he lived. I wondered if there was any resentment from the other township residents towards the owners in 'Beverly Hills', especially considering it was right across from the shanty homes, but I had to take Chippa's word that there wasn't.
We were invited into a home for a delicious lunch. It was also nice to have a break from the cold!
Following our delicious lunch of chicken, vegetables, rice and potatoes, and a long relaxing tea break we headed off to our last stop…Happy Feet!

Q: How to use animate background of an element in single color I am working on this demo. Is it possible to change the background color of an element using jQuery animate?

$('#change').on('click', function () {
    $('body').animate({background:'rgba(0,0,0,0.4)'}, 300);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="change">Change BG</button>

A: Can I offer an alternative? There are lots of jQuery plugins that do this sort of thing but it is massive overkill for what you are doing.
Background, and more specifically background-color is animatable with CSS, so I'd recommend using a transition property like this:
https://codepen.io/EightArmsHQ/pen/GwqMpR
HTML:
$("#change").click(function(){
  $("body").addClass("green");
})

CSS:
body{
  transition: background 1s;
}

body.green{
  background:green;
}

Triclosan: Researchers Link Chemical In Toothpaste With Gut Health Problems: Which Toothpaste Has It?
Source: Tech Times | June 7th, 2018 | By Steven Lerner
Brushing your teeth is a healthy habit, but a recent study suggests that a chemical in the toothpaste might actually be harmful.
The Study That Linked Triclosan To Gut Health Problems
A new study has confirmed that triclosan, a chemical found in household goods such as toothpaste, can cause colon inflammation and cancer. This is the first time that the chemical has been linked to gut health problems.
The study was published on May 30 in the journal Science Translation Medicine.
Researchers experimented on mice to determine the effects of the chemical. The mice who consumed triclosan experienced inflammation of the colon. Further research into humans should be conducted to measure the scope of the chemical's damage.
Numerous products contain triclosan, such as cleaning products and furniture. Washing products, such as hand sanitizer, had the chemical until 2016 when the FDA banned it. However, the FDA did not ban the chemical from other products.
One study found that 75 percent of the population had been in contact with the chemical. It is currently found in over 2,000 consumer products because it is good at destroying bacteria.
Researchers recommended that federal officials determine new regulations to protect the public from the chemical, as even a small amount of triclosan can be dangerous.
What Does This Have To Do With Toothpaste?
Although soaps and sanitizers are banned from including the chemical in production, the FDA did not ban it from other products, such as toothpaste. That means the public can still get in direct contact with the chemical.
What makes toothpaste more dangerous than other products is that people stick it in their mouths. It can go between the gums, on the teeth, and into the bloodstream. In addition, it could remain on toothbrushes long after use. That means if a user switches toothpaste, the toothbrush could still be dangerous.
Which Toothpastes Have Triclosan?
Several types of toothpaste from Colgate still contain triclosan. Popular toothbrush brand Reach also has products with the chemical in it as well. A 2013 review found that a triclosan and fluoride combination was better at reducing plaque and gingivitis than just fluoride.
Colgate Total's manufacturer, Colgate-Palmolive, told Consumer Reports that the amount of the chemical in the toothpaste is less than other toothpaste with triclosan. Its products are also approved as safe and effective by the FDA.
Some dentists are suggesting that patients only use toothpaste without triclosan until the FDA offers a new ruling.

From Africa to Australia, EGP Expands its Horizons
Published on Friday, 24 February 2017
Following 2016, which saw us in Zambia, Peru, Mexico, Indonesia and Morocco, Enel Green Power is looking to new tenders to tackle this year. We talk about it with Antonio Cammisecra, Head of Business Development of EGP.
From the 156 MW of contracts won in 2012 to the 2400 MW recorded in 2016. In just five years, Enel Green Power has achieved unimaginable performance and entered into markets that until a few years ago seemed unthinkable for the world of renewable energy. Last June, the Group was granted the rights to build and operate the 34-MW Mosi-oa-Tunya solar photovoltaic plant, in Zambia, while in Peru, the Renewables Division of Enel will soon be the only company to operate plants with three different renewable technologies, thanks to the awarding of a total of 326 MW. "Perhaps these are the greatest achievements of 2016", said Antonio Cammisecra, Head of Business Development of EGP, in our interview. "These achievements show that we are a competitive player beyond individual technological or geographical specificities".
What makes the entrance into Zambia and Peru so important?
In Peru, we won the tender in two technologies with the so-called "greenfield" projects, which we developed from zero in a completely new market. In Zambia, we confirmed our capability of entering into new and remote markets and our risk assessment skills. EGP's history has always been characterised by this courage: right now we are participating in a tender in Ethiopia, so we hope to celebrate another great outcome.
2016 also saw us in Morocco and Mexico…
These two countries have given us great satisfaction. In Morocco, we obtained the rights to develop, build and operate five wind projects with a total installed capacity of 850 MW, in consortium with Nareva Holding and Siemens Wind Power. In Mexico, we were able to secure 1 GW of solar through a single tender, in addition to almost 100 MW of wind capacity in the second tender held in the country.
Every country we look to obviously presents various complexities. How has our analysis of potential risks evolved?
It's the countries themselves that evolve, more than the companies. For example, our entry into Zambia is part of the Scaling Solar programme, one of the best projects of renewables expansion in Africa, sponsored by the World Bank. As far as risk assessment is concerned, I believe it is the experience gained over time and in different areas that has taught us to manage the two main aspects of each investment in a foreign country: local partners and the local institutional context, by placing ethical aspects, integrity and safety, which are priorities and indispensable requirements at the centre of Enel Green Power's model.
In the last few years, we have seen a positive development trend for emerging countries with regard to these aspects, especially the environment and sustainability. Is it really like this?
It is, obviously at different paces, depending on the country. Some countries have taken giant steps. Ethiopia comes to mind, where we participated in a tender for 100 MW of solar at the beginning of February. Until recently, we were convinced that EGP's story in the region would unfold mostly in Kenya. Our attention to factors like environment and sustainability is always high, so it's normal to approach countries that are moving in the same direction.
Going into detail, what model is proving most productive, between PPAs (Power Purchase Agreement), feed-in tariffs and other forms of incentive?
Globally, there are very few cases in which feed-in tariffs are used. Competitive mechanisms are now prevalent and this has enabled a reduction of costs that could never have happened with the Feed in Tariff model. PPAs have generated competitive pressure in many countries to speed up technological improvements, cost reduction and the development of the sector: without this step, we probably wouldn't have seen the boom in renewables, which in some countries are actually a more competitive solution than conventional sources.
How are we moving through PPAs?
EGP tries to adopt a very low merchant exposure in the development of new projects. Many PPAs already include the risk of exposure of this kind, and in this sense the work of our team of specialists, who study the contracts in detail in order to mitigate risks, is fundamental.
How has the work of the BD department of EGP changed over time?
Our work is now made up of two different cores: a traditional one, which consists in actual development of projects, and another, more recent, that is commercial. BD performs both these activities with the goal of creating new projects and selling the energy produced. The markets that attract our attention are especially, but not exclusively, in countries that are opening up to the liberalisation of large customers, the so-called Commercial & Industrial customers (C&I).
In Mexico, where the energy produced by one of the biggest wind projects we've ever made will be sold to Femsa, the largest bottling company for Coca-Cola. So, the world of PPAs is varied: there are state and private counterparts, complex realities, to fully liberalised markets like the USA. We no longer sell energy only to other utilities, but also to large industrial and commercial entities that allow us to create global synergies.
Following the successes of last year, let's talk about 2017: what should we expect?
Geographically, we're looking especially to Ethiopia, Australia and North Europe, and special mention must be made of India, a country we have already entered but where we must consolidate our presence and demonstrate our competitiveness. But the goals set by EGP are not only geographical. We must first of all become a supplier of choice for large C&Is: unfortunately, the level of our brand awareness in large populations of C&Is is low, so we need a strong effort of industrial marketing. I think it's also necessary to aim to become equity partner of choice. In 2017, this role should add a third aspect to Business Development: equity placement in addition to engineering and commercial placement. Even markets where we do not want to sacrifice our returns but where the level of competitiveness is high, we aim to find entities that are willing to believe in us and invest in us. In this way, we can increase our value. Finally, let's remember that we provide capacity of development, construction and operation of plants not only for us, but also for third parties: talking about the well known BSO model (Build, Sell and Operate) or about the equity partnerships that allow us to be more competitive.

Kevin Durant to the Big Apple?
Kevin Durant has been alleged to have one foot out of the door all season. Almost no one believes he will remain with the Golden State Warriors next season. In fact, many New York Knicks fan have bought into the idea that Durant will be en route to the Big Apple. Rumors of secret meetings and discussions with a fellow star, Kyrie Irving, have caused fans to speculate about Durant's arrival. While the season is not quite over yet, it may be premature to start photo-shopping Durant into a Knicks jersey.
There is a reason why Knicks fans want Durant. He is one of the best players in the League, currently averaging 26.1 points per game along with 6.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. Shooting a very efficient 52% from the field, his height and length make his shot is incredibly difficult to stop. Additionally, especially with his time with Golden State, he developed into a top tier defender at his position, averaging 1.1 blocks a game. Durant is an MVP, a scoring champion, a two-time champion, and two time Finals MVP.
All the above being said, Durant has the pedigree to make any team a contender. For that very reason, there will be many teams that will be seek Durant's services this summer. To that end, New York's front office will have to make a compelling argument to reel Durant in. However, New York may have an advantage over other teams.
Financially, the Knicks can get him here. By trading away half the team in the Kristaps Porzingis trade, the Knicks freed themselves $70 million for next season. Of course, those funds will likely be used to bring in two All-stars, but there is certainly enough there to make Durant a substantial offer. Money likely won't be a problem. Convincing Durant to choose New York over somewhere like the Los Angeles Lakers or Clippers is the problem. Still New York could offer him something that he will want: legacy.
It is no secret that Kevin Durant has be received backlash in past years for his decision to join the Warriors back in 2016. Fans have even hailed him as the man that ruined the NBA. While Durant may have wanted to embrace the villain role at first, it has been increasingly clear that he is ready to shed that status. Coming to New York could do just that.
The Impact that Durant's move would have on the League.
New York recently traded away its best player. The team hasn't seen the playoffs since 2013. This season, they have the worst record in basketball and the worst record in team history. On the other hand of the spectrum is the Warriors, whose very existence has thrown the NBA out of balance. However, if Durant left possibly the best team in the League for the worst team in the League, he would no longer be the man that ruined the NBA. Rather, he could possibly be the person to restore balance to this League. The prospect of such a move would certainly help fix Durant's tarnished reputation.
There is another consideration here. If the Knicks drafted Zion Williamson and got another star alongside Durant, there is no telling the long-term effect it will have on the League. Of course, the League has never seen a team like the Warriors. However, the League has also never seen the Knicks possess this must star power. It is entirely possible that with Kevin Durant leading the way, especially considering he is still in his prime, the Knicks could be at the helm of a new paradigm shift.
With the NBA season coming to a close, Durant's focus will likely be on the playoffs. He's probably not thinking about the Knicks right now. However, regardless if Durant wins another championship or not, his focus will turn to his next destination. Given the opportunity to fix his reputation and of course all the money he could get, there is worthwhile argument that Durant could find his way to the Garden next season.

Q: TikZ: How to extract / highlight a segment of a curved path I would like to highlight a segment of a curvy path (color, thickness) defined by several controls as shown in the following image. I already tried it using intersections and clipping but I failed.
Preferably, I would like to mark the end points of the highlighted segment by arrows. The segment of the path which should be highlighted is given as an 'interval' of the original path, e.g. start highlighting after 1/3 of the original path and stop highlighting at 5/7 of the path.
But in fact, if I would have a solution if I define start and stop of the highlighted segment somehow by hand, I would be glad.
Any ideas?

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1, >=stealth, ->]
    \tikzstyle{node_style}=[inner sep=2pt, circle, fill=black]

\end{document}

A: Choosing exactly 1/3 and 5/7 positions would be difficult, but you can utilize two intermediate points (1,1) and (2,2) and draw the same bezier curve between them with thick red line. Note also that I stretched the two ends by 2pts to compensate for the length of the arrow heads. You don't need to do this if you use the default arrows instead of stealth.

Your golf swing gives you a unique advantage in helping you hit the ball just right. The idea is to be able to repeat the process enough times to where you perfect the movement with good end results. At times it can help you hit the ball in a certain direction if you know what you are doing as you follow through with the swing. With analyzing your own swing you should be aware of body posture, stance, and how parts of the body move and pose as you start your swing from start to finish.
A good visual aspect is to consider still photos of a golfer and the different elements of a swing. You can get an idea of how certain parts of the body remain stationary while others parts move as the ball is hit. Yet, your movements should be smooth and consistence to help control how the ball moves once it is hit. Your swing has a lot to do with physical movements that occur before, during and after the ball is hit. Such photographs help you study sequences the body achieves in order to get the ball moving. In some cases, it is a matter of understanding elements of cause and effect. There are certain movements you need to avoid during the swing motion in order to safely execute your shot.
There are times in which a visual aid such as a photo or video can be helpful. At the same time you need to visualize yourself making the shot. Sometimes it helps to view yourself making a swing to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Think about where your club and the shaft should be when you make your swing. Such details are important as it can change from when the club was in at address.
Think about how your hands, wrists, shoulders and feet are positioned as you attempt your shot. This will vary depending on the hole on the course you are playing. Because there are different techniques to consider to help you making your swing your own, it is important to do some research on how each element can help you develop a good swing overtime. For many, it is a matter of practicing their swing before they make an attempt to hit the ball on the course.

More medals for Merton at this year's London Youth Games
28 August 2015 · by · in Environment and Regeneration, Events, News stories, Young people.	·
Young people from Merton brought back a mega medal haul from this year's 38th Balfour Beatty London Youth Games.

These Metric Plot Radius are made by R.D. Penhall, the company that makes DUKSBAK paper. This material is synthetic, waterproof, and non-tearing; perfect for use in the field. Environmental scientists and foresters can be sure that their measurements will be stored accurately and safely.


Insulation materials have a high market potential: Ceresana's analysts expect a total demand of more than 578 million cubic meters in 2025. In general, thermal insulation is supposed to minimize heat loss and thus, energy consumption in cold climate regions. However, in warmer climates, insulation is also used as a heat barrier. Rising energy prices and state regulations to prevent climate-changing greenhouse gases or to conserve energy will lead to a higher demand for insulation material in the upcoming years.
Currently, mineral wool is the worldwide most frequently used type of insulation material. Glass and stone wool reached a combined demand of 52%, with glass wool being used more often. Polystyrene-ba sed insulation material also has a high market share, while consumption of insulation materials ba sed on PUR is notably lower. However, consumption of individual types of insulation materials may vary considerably in individual countries. Besides climatic factors and customer preferences, cost of acquisition, image, and technical properties are influential factors.
Insulation material made of renewable resources is still a niche product but the demand is continuously growing. Bio-ba sed insulation materials have several advantages: Materials such as straw, hemp, cork, wool or wood chips can be bought regionally, processed easily, and disposed of easily, they are cheap and have ideal ecological balance sheet values. However, building regulations and standards currently still complicate the implementation.
Chapter 1 provides a complete desc ription and analysis of the global insulation material market – including forecasts up to 2025. Key figures such as production and demand, as well as revenues are given for each world region.

It's in the numbers! 2013 in Amsterdam adds up to some magnificent and significant milestones, to be celebrated by multiple events, exhibitions and concerts throughout the year.
Countdown 400 years of Amsterdam canals, 125 years of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Concertgebouw, 175 years of Artis Royal Zoo, 160 years of Van Gogh, 125 years of the Rijksmuseum, which will be reopening after 10 years – plus many other unique events. Two iconic human themes will also influence activities: 150 years since the abolition of slavery and 400 years of trade between the Netherlands and Russia.
Canals, Culture & Trade
One of the most remarkable milestones is the 400th anniversary of Amsterdam's Canal Ring, which was awarded UNESCO World Heritage-status in 2010. Over the centuries, these 80-km long waterways have shaped the geography and growth of the city, known for its diverse population and the liberal outlook of its people. The Amsterdam canals are unique: a work of art attesting to outstanding city planning and architecture that aptly expresses the growth and success of Amsterdam in the Dutch Golden Age. Large city celebrations such as Queens's Day on April 30, and Gay Pride on August 3, take place on the canals. During 2013, the canals will be a hotspot for concerts, art and festivals, as well as the subject of several special exhibitions.
Currently, until September 2013, the Amsterdam Museum is presenting an elaborate exhibition on The Golden Age. Using all of the latest presentation techniques, it allows visitors to learn about this crucial century of global trade. Its exhibits detail the story of trade and merchants, the VOC ships that transported goods, economic growth in Amsterdam, wealth, religious diversity, masterful artworks and, of course, the construction of Amsterdam's Canal Ring.
Many of the houses alongside Amsterdam's canals have also enjoyed a glorious past. These canal houses have been home to the rich, endured many historic events, and today, behind their amazing façades, you can find many museums and inner gardens. You can explore the 400-year history of these monuments and secret green spaces during special open garden days. www.opentuinendagen.nl
Art & Artis
The Rijksmuseum has been a working museum for more than 125 years. The current building, which was designed by the architect Pierre Cuypers, was opened in 1885. Following 10 years of construction, renovation and restoration, the renewed Rijksmuseum will reopen to the public on April 14. With a fully renovated building, new public facilities, a newly landscaped garden, and Rembrandt's The Night Watch returning to its original gallery, an anticipated 2 million visitors can traverse 1.5 kilometers of art and history through 80 halls displaying 8,000 pieces, telling the 800-year history of Amsterdam from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Following internal renovations, 160 years after Van Gogh's birth and 40 years since the museum opened, The Van Gogh Museum will reopen on May 1. The museum features the world's largest collection of drawings, paintings and letters by the artist, alongside works by Van Gogh's contemporaries. With 1.6 million visitors annually, it is one of the world's 25 most-visited museums. During the renovations, an extensive collection of Van Gogh's works will temporarily be on display at the Hermitage Amsterdam until April 2013.
Artis Royal Zoo is a city park and a peaceful oasis in the center of Amsterdam. Founded in 1838, the zoo, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary, is the current habitat of 6,100 animals, representing approximately 900 different species. Every Saturday in June, July and August, ZOOmeravonden (Summer Evenings) at Artis allows visitors to learn what the animals get up to after-hours by staying open until sunset. Nearby, Hortus Botanicus, the royal botanical gardens, established 375 years ago, showcase many exotic species of plants originally brought here by VOC ships. Although the Hortus is just 1.2 hectares in size, the number of plants is enormous. In fact, there are more than 6,000 of them (over 4,000 species) in the garden and its seven greenhouses.
Opened in April 1888, the Concertgebouw is a musical superstar, famed for its unique acoustics. Every year, more than 700 concerts are held at the Concertgebouw, with internationally acclaimed soloists, orchestras and conductors regularly gracing the stage. The renowned orchestra of 120 musicians celebrates its 125th anniversary with a world tour taking in six continents. They will furthermore perform at the Prinsengracht Concert, during the Grachten Festival, which takes place from August 16 to August 24. Numerous other special musical events, such as the 10-day Canal Festival and the 140,000 dancing visitors of the Amsterdam Dance Event will also entertain music lovers.
Slavery & Enlightenment
On July 1, 2013, it will be exactly 150 years since Dutch slavery was abolished in the former colonies of Suriname and the Dutch Antilles. The national remembrance ceremony and colorful Koti Keti festival will take place in Oosterpark, as it has since 2000. Some 60,000 people are expected to attend. In the Tropenmuseum, October 18 will see the opening of the exhibition Emancipation in Black and White. Due to the pivotal role that Amsterdam played in the history of slavery, the city is keen to bring broad attention to the anniversary and the significance of the abolition. The Stichting Herdenking Slavernijverleden 2013 (Foundation for the Commemoration of Slavery 2013) has been set up to prepare a varied program of events.
Felix Meritis was founded in 1788 as a 'temple of enlightenment' – a center for international art, culture, trade and science – and will celebrating its 225th anniversary with a series of special readings, exhibitions, educational programs and guided tours under the starry skies. The Observatory of Felix Meritis is the oldest scientific observatory in the Netherlands, but this secret spot on the building's roof hasn't been open to the public for more than 200 years. That changes this year, however, when it becomes a special observation point in the city.
Netherlands-Russia Year Celebrates 400 Years of Ties
In 2013, the Netherlands, Russia, and the City of Amsterdam will celebrate their special relationship. The two countries have been major trading partners since the Dutch Golden Age, and their ties have grown stronger over the past four centuries.
In 2009, the Hermitage Amsterdam opened the only European satellite of the famous St. Petersburg museum. Czar Peter the Great started collecting art as a young man, with the acquisition of a work by Rembrandt planting the seed for St. Petersburg's later Hermitage collection. It was Amsterdam, in particular, that inspired him to found his new capital. An enthusiastic traveler, he visited the Dutch Republic in 1697 and 1717, studying ship building in Zaandam.
In March 2013, the impressive new exhibition Peter the Great opened in the Hermitage Amsterdam. Featuring art, priceless exhibits and the Tsar's personal effects, the exhibition runs from March 9 until September 13. There are also many related festivities involving the newly renovated Czar Peter House in Zaandam. Together, these activities form the core of the 2013 theme of Netherlands-Russia Year. After all, let's not forget that the Dutch royal family includes a Russian queen; Anna Paulowna, "Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of Russia", who married the Prince of Orange – the later King William II – in 1816.
This year, Amsterdam invites visitors to explore – and participate in – the past, present and future of the city. Eye-catching events will include art exhibitions (featuring artists from the Golden Age to rising stars), various concerts (from classical to rock, and from concert halls to city parks), new ways of seeing the city (such as 24H Amsterdam, Hotel Night, Museum Night), the art manifestation Chambres de Canaux processions (including spectacular flower tributes through the city), and international sporting events (both in traditional arenas and on the city's streets and canals). So don't miss out!

Misfuelling a vehicle is a common mistake to make, occurring on average every 3 minutes in the UK with roughly 150,000 motorists filling their tank with the wrong fuel every year.
If you're used to driving several different vehicles, or fill up at many different petrol stations, here are a few tips to help avoid the cost and hassle of misfuelling.
What happens if you put petrol in a diesel vehicle?
Putting petrol in a diesel vehicle will damage the fuel pump if not dealt with immediately. In diesel cars, the main fuel pump uses the diesel fuel flowing through it for lubrication. However, when petrol fuel is put in, the mix of petrol in diesel acts as a solvent, reducing lubrication and quickly causing damage to the pump as the metal parts come into contact and rub together. Other parts of the fuel system which might not be compatible with petrol, can also be damaged.
Switching on the vehicle's ignition will circulate this mix of petrol in diesel through the fuel system, causing further contamination to other components so if you realise what has happened straightaway, do not turn on the ignition.
What happens if you put diesel in a petrol vehicle?
Putting diesel in a petrol car is not especially common because the diesel nozzle is generally bigger than the petrol nozzle. The potential damage isn't as severe but it will still cause the engine to smoke a bit and run badly, so it's best to get the diesel out as soon as possible.
As mentioned above, the most important advice is to not turn on the ignition if misfuelling is suspected before driving off from the filling station.
Unfortunately, the removing of incorrect fuel is not something that can be carried out by the driver and it will need attention from either a roadside assistance company or removal to a garage or main dealer who will use specialist equipment to remove fuel from the tank. If the ignition has not been switched on, this may be all that is required. However, if the vehicle has been driven further work to flush the fuel lines may also be required and potentially replace any damaged components.
Due to strict Environment Agency rules relating to hazardous materials it is not possible to provide the driver with the contaminated fuel that has been removed from their vehicle.
If you are responsible for a vehicle fleet, all drivers should be made aware of what to do in the event of a misfuelling incident through the organisation's driver manual. This information should also be available in each vehicle.
Under the QBE Motor policy, any claim for wrong fuelling of a vehicle will be considered under the accidental damage cover, provided always the insured has mitigated the loss which could mean, for example, not starting the engine or pulling over as soon as the error has been noticed. Each claim, however, would be looked at on its own circumstances. The cost of replacing the aborted fuel would however not be covered in any circumstances.

Six-foot-seven-inch Steven Finn was one in a line of beanpole fast bowlers to carry England's hopes in the 2010s, but despite a heady blend of pace and trampolining bounce that fetched him a respectable Test average of 30, it was a mantle he did not always carry happily.
Finn made his county debut for Middlesex as a 16-year-old in 2005, and went on to represent England at all age-group levels from Under-16s upwards. He had a solid 2009 season for Middlesex, taking 53 wickets at 30.64 in the County Championship. He was brought in as injury cover on England's tour to Bangladesh in 2010, and impressed on his Test debut there, displaying good pace and bounce on a docile Chittagong surface. His home debut also came against Bangladesh later in the year, when he carried a rusty England attack with nine wickets at Lord's, in just his third Test.
In Australia at the end of that year, he took 6 for 125 to help turn the tide in the first Test at the Gabba, before stepping into the breach left by an injury to Stuart Broad to help seal victory in in Adelaide.
Finn played just one Test in 2011, though an impressive tour of India pushed him firmly into one-day contention. The following home summer, his habit of hitting the stumps in his delivery stride became costly when Graeme Smith drew attention to it at Headingley. The umpires decided to call dead ball and Finn was denied Smith's wicket. A few months later a law was created, making any wicket taken after a bowler had knocked over the stumps a no-ball.
Finn's career went into reverse in 2013-14. He was sent home from England's tour of Australia after being deemed "not selectable". This kicked off a period when he was in and out of the side, during which endless tinkering with his action left him short of confidence. He experimented with a shortened run-up, but his rhythm had been affected.
After that tumultuous winter, he rebuilt his confidence with the help of Middlesex bowling coach Richard Johnson and had success in the 2015 Ashes series, taking six wickets in an innings at Edgbaston. He then acquitted himself ably enough in England's series win in South Africa the following season, only for his career to take another twist when he lost his limited-overs place just as he returned to Test cricket.
In 2016 he took just five wickets in two Tests against Pakistan at home, and one against Bangladesh away, and though he played a handful of ODIs the next season, that was it for his international career.

UCA is pleased to announce it is teaming up with Premier, Inc. to offer UCA members a Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) qualified registry reporting option at a discounted rate. UCA member centers will be able to access this registry option for either individual or group practice Medicare MIPS reporting.
MIPSwizard is an easy-to-use online tool to help eligible clinicians quickly and easily participate in the MIPS. Similar to online tax preparation software, the MIPSwizard guides clinicians through a few easy steps to rapidly collect, validate and submit their results to CMS. MIPSwizard is powered by the Premier Inc. registry, a CMS Qualified Registry for MIPS reporting.
Before you make your reporting selection, you can access all of the available MIPS reporting products available including the Specialty Measures Sets and Individual Measures options for eligible clinicians. Regardless of the type of reporting selected, the MIPSwizard guides users through the steps for reporting to ensure that requirements are satisfied. The modules include options for patient by patient data entry as well as upload tools. As an additional resource, there are on-demand videos which walk through the different reporting products step by step and provide educational information around various aspects of the MIPS Program. These videos can be accessed through the Video Library located on the resources tab of the MIPSwizard site.
MIPSwizard can assist eligible clinicians and group practices in avoiding the maximum penalty and achieving the maximum incentive under MIPS. This year, CMS added some reporting exemptions for smaller practices and those hit hardest by extreme circumstances, such as natural disasters. However, if your practice does not fall into these categories, be aware that the cost for not participating in MIPS is steep. You stand to have a negative adjustment of 5 percent applied to your 2020 Medicare allowed charges. The payment adjustments based on performance against MIPS measures increases each year through 2022. Additionally, clinicians who perform exceptionally well (score > 70) are eligible to share in an additional pool of bonus funds.
Tens of thousands of providers rely on The Premier Qualified Registry, MIPSwizard, to submit their MIPS reporting on an annual basis. This year UCA is continuing to offer members an exclusive discounted rate for their members. Visit the links above to register today!

GUEST EDITORIAL: Selective worry about free speech
So it appears nobody will miss Barnum and Bailey when the circus folds its tent for the last time. What with Presidential press conferences these days, jumping lions and parading elephants are tame by comparison.
Say what you want about President Trump's press conferences – and most people do – they are great entertainment. Sure, he gets off track. Often. And no, he is not the most eloquent speaker. And yes, you are not alone if you cringe at some of the things he says.

George W. Bush on Trump and Russia: 'We all need answers'
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President George W. Bush said Monday "we all need answers" on the extent of contact between President Donald Trump's team and the Russian government, and didn't rule out the idea that a special prosecutor could be necessary to lead an investigation.
The Republican also defended the media's role in keeping world leaders in check, noting that "power can be addictive," and warned against immigration policies that could alienate Muslims.
"I am for an immigration policy that's welcoming and upholds the law," Bush told NBC's "Today" show.

Q: Closure Compiler: expressions are not callable It's been a while since I've used Closure library + advanced mode with the compiler. My compilation is outputting this:
({})();

and I'm getting this compilation warning:
Error: index.js:4: WARNING - {} expressions are not callable
app.main.start();
^

Everything works fine in dev mode (using base.js). Here's my set up:
// index.js -> let compiler know app entry point
goog.provide('app.main.start');

goog.require('app.main');
app.main.start();

The actual application starts here
// app.js
goog.provide('app.main');

goog.require('goog.dom.fullscreen');
// ... other goog.requires

/**
 *
 */
app.main.start = function(){
    // ... app definition.
    // see https://github.com/formigone/html5multiplayer/blob/master/megaman/closure/game.js
};

And here's how I'm compiling (using Gulp)
gulp.task('build', function () {
    gulp.src(['index.js', 'app.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'node_modules/closure-library/closure/goog/**/*.js'])
        .pipe(closureCompiler({
            compilerPath: '/usr/local/google-closure/compiler.jar',
            fileName: '../dist/app.min.js',

                ],
                only_closure_dependencies: true,
