 An item on Seven Sharp featured a young girl who was passionate about pig hunting. The item contained footage of the girl and her father on a pig hunt, including footage of the pig bailed up by dogs, as well as the young girl holding the pig's heart after it had been gutted, and carrying the carcass.
 Scott Andersson complained that the item was in poor taste, and that there was no warning to viewers about the graphic content, which was 'presented as something to be laughed at'. Mr Andersson argued that the daughter, father and reporter showed a lack of empathy and respect for the animal, treating the experience as a 'huge joke'.
 The item was broadcast on TV ONE at approximately 7.15pm on 11 May 2016. The members of the Authority have viewed a recording of the broadcast complained about and have read the correspondence listed in the Appendix.
...It's not just men who love it, apparently. [Our reporter's] found a pint-sized pig hunter in the Wairarapa... who is more passionate than most – and just a wee warning about some of the pictures in [the] story.
 The item followed a young girl, who had been hunting pigs since she was three years old, and her father on an early morning hunting trip, and included interviews with both. When asked what it was about pig hunting that she liked so much, the young girl said, '...being with animals – dogs. Yeah, being out in the nature – bush and all that.' The item also featured footage of her bedroom, decorated with hunting posters, photos, awards and pig jaws. The young girl said that instead of having horse-riding posters on her walls, like one of her friends, she had posters about pig hunting.
 During the scene complained about, the reporter followed the father and daughter as they chased after their dogs. Brief footage (approximately 4-5 seconds in length) was shown of the dogs 'bailing up' the pig (biting and dragging it), and the pig squealing. The father then ran towards the animals and pulled the dogs away. No footage of the pig being killed was shown.
 The reporter introduced the next footage as a 'science lesson', and a brief shot of the pig's entrails was shown. The young girl then picked up the pig's heart, squeezing it and making beating noises. The reporter then said that the girl helped turn the pig into a pack, and, as her father helped her with it, he briefly rubbed the pig's snout against the back of her neck, making pig noises.
Some people might say that [she] isn't mature enough to make an informed decision about engaging in activities like this. What do you say to those people?
...do you know what I love most about that story, though, is that she's spending time with her dad – well, they've got a common interest and they're doing something together that they love.
 Mr Andersson complained that there was no warning to viewers about the graphic content shown during this item. He said the footage of the dogs bailing up the pig was 'shown and presented as something to be laughed at'. Mr Andersson was particularly concerned that there was a lack of empathy shown by the father, daughter and reporter during the item.
 TVNZ argued that the hosts of Seven Sharp made it clear that the item was about pig hunting and that some of the images in the story required a warning. It said that viewers were therefore likely to be aware of the kind of footage that might be shown and could make an informed decision about whether to continue watching. TVNZ also considered that, while the item contained footage of the dead pig and its entrails, it did not show the pig being killed or gutted and was not graphic or gratuitous.
 While certain extreme material may be unacceptable regardless of context, the approach developed by this Authority is to require broadcasters to give viewers sufficient information to regulate their own, and their children's, viewing behaviour. This places a degree of responsibility on viewers to inform themselves about the viewing choices they make.
 In our view, the subject matter of the item was clearly signposted by the hosts during the introduction to the story. The hosts acknowledged that the subject matter was 'not for everyone' and provided a warning about the content – albeit in an informal tone, consistent with the programme's usual style. Taking these factors together, we think viewers and caregivers were made sufficiently aware of the potential imagery contained in the item, and therefore had a reasonable opportunity to make a decision about whether they wished to continue watching, or wished their children to continue watching.
 Further, the actual footage shown during the item was not overly gory or gratuitous. The footage of the pig bailed up by dogs was brief, and the actual killing of the pig was not shown. While the dead body of the pig and a brief shot of its entrails were shown, this kind of imagery was not unexpected in the context of an item about hunting. In our view, the focus of the item was primarily on the young girl, and her interest in pig hunting. Most of the item was therefore made up of interviews with the girl and her father, and not the pig hunt itself.
 We also do not consider that the father and daughter, or the reporter, displayed a lack of empathy and respect towards the pig. Their treatment of it was not visibly cruel or barbaric and we do not agree they made a 'huge joke' of the experience. The reporter commented that the family were 'turning a farm pest into pork' (indicating the pig would be used for food), and introduced the young girl picking up the pig's heart as a 'science lesson'. The impression of the footage was not that the group were disrespectful towards the pig, but that father and daughter were simply enjoying each other's company and sharing in an activity they both enjoyed, as commented on by the host at the end of the item.
 As noted by the Authority in previous decisions, the broadcast of hunting footage is generally acceptable in New Zealand, provided it does not depict undue cruelty.3 We understand that pig hunting with dogs is an accepted practice in New Zealand, provided pigs 'at the bail' are killed quickly and humanely. While some viewers may have found the footage unpleasant or distressing to watch, this reaction would likely be due to their own personal preferences, and not the fact that the treatment of the animal in this case was inhumane or cruel. Hunting is, for some, a reality of life in New Zealand, and this item presented a child who was passionate about an activity she could take part in with her dad.
 For these reasons, we find the item did not threaten current norms of good taste and decency and we do not uphold this part of the complaint.
 Mr Andersson raised guideline 3b in his complaint, which states that the children's interests standard may be considered in relation to material in which children or animals are humiliated or badly treated.
 For the reasons outlined in our consideration of good taste and decency, we do not consider the item contained material in which children or animals were humiliated or badly treated. Taking into account the relevant contextual factors (outlined at paragraph ), we are satisfied that the broadcaster adequately considered children's interests in relation to the broadcast and did not breach Standard 3.

Ed Day signed a resolution authorizing the county to bond $2,300,000 to be expended towards the replacement of the Samsondale Avenue Bridge
Contact: John Lyon (845) 638-5645
New City, NY – Rockland County Executive Ed Day signed a resolution authorizing the county to bond $2,300,000 to be expended towards the replacement of the Samsondale Avenue Bridge over the CSX Railroad in the Village of West Haverstraw.
"Infrastructure is critical to every facet of our economic and daily life, whether it is getting to work, shopping or driving our children safely to school, our transportation infrastructure system is at the center," said County Executive Ed Day. "My administration is committed to improving Rockland's roads and bridges while budgeting our taxpayer dollars as carefully as our residents do themselves. I appreciate my colleagues in the County Legislature for passing the resolutions required to get this project started."
The Rockland County Legislature recently passed the bond resolution and 3 other resolutions relating to the project.
Legislator Jay Hood Jr., who represents West Haverstraw said, "I am happy to see this bridge replacement project get underway. It is a main artery for West Haverstraw and is a much-needed project for this area. I applaud and thank the County administration and the Legislature for passing the necessary resolutions to begin work. The work will temporarily cause a bit of a disruption of the usual traffic patterns but there are alternative routes to easily access all homes and businesses in the area. I ask our residents to have patience while the work is completed."
Village of West Haverstraw Mayor Robert R. D'Amelio expressed his gratitude to Rockland County officials for developing, funding, and breaking ground on the Samsondale Avenue Bridge project. "My top priority as Mayor is to upgrade West Haverstraw's aging infrastructure. The existing, 40-year-old bridge was in desperate need of replacement. County Executive Day and the Legislature recognized that need and are making it happen." D'Amelio also thanked the Rockland County Highway Department for working with the Village to design a visually appealing bridge. "Not only will the new Samsondale Avenue Bridge provide a safe thoroughfare for pedestrians and vehicles, it's going to be a very beautiful landscape feature in West Haverstraw." Mayor D'Amelio intends to add decorative banners and flowers when the construction project is complete.
The Samsondale Avenue Bridge will be closed beginning Monday, April 2, 2018. The bridge is scheduled to temporarily re-open on December 1, 2018, and stay open through the winter. Work on the bridge will be completed by June 1, 2019.
"The best part of this project is that it comes at minimal cost to our taxpayers; 95% is eligible for reimbursement (80%) by the Federal Highway Administration and (15%) by New York State," concluded County Executive Day.

Album Review :: State Lines :: For The Boats
Written by: Andrea Janov, CC2K Music Editor
State Lines :: For The Boats :: Tiny Engines
I have been waiting for this one. A few months ago I reviewed their Self-Titled EP and have been waiting for the release of For The Boats ever since. Well, it is finally here, and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed.
The sound of For The Boats took me by surprise. There is much more variety and diverseness to this record than I expected. Some tracks lean towards indie, some emo, and some punk rock. And the vocals range from poppy to gravely, sometimes within a single track. This album shows a new dimension to their sound and shows how talented State Lines really are.
For the Boats introduces us to the album, the voice, the attitude, and the vibe that we fall in love with through the album. It is a great lead off track to draw the listener in. Shady Existence is a slow indie track with the type of lyrics that I am a sucker for. "Convinced there must be something in these songs…/me telling some kid through a microphone / he might be fucked in the head but he's not alone". Shit For Brains is a bassy chaotic track, For The Ears is an acoustic song that lets the listener see deep inside the band. Indian Burn encapsulates the feeling of being young in suburbia with a crush. Tuesday Morning has a great range, there are moments it is slow and pretty and moments that are full of scorn. What really gets me is that the track deconstructs and it progresses, at the end it is so simple, raw, and beautiful. Where It's Warm is an awesome acoustic track that begins with banter among the band (which I am a sucker for) then becomes a stripped down honest track. My pick for the stand out track is Kids. It begins slow and intimate full of nostalgia before it explodes with a restless energy and reflection / wisdom. "We were just kids / shaking off consequence". Didn't we all…
This album flew by…and I just had to hit repeat.

After Reviews are Written
How to End a Reviewee's Review Cycle Early
Closing completed reviews before ending the review cycle
When companies launch review cycles for more than a few people in the organization, it's likely that some employees will complete their reviews well in advance of the rest of the organization. Managers might want to finalize their packets prior to the closing of the review for the entire company.
If this is the case, an Admin has the ability to end a Reviewee's review cycle prior to the closing of the review as a whole. To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Navigate to the "Admin" Panel found in the navigation bar at the top
Step 2: Click on "Reviews" in the left Administration Panel
Step 3: Find and click into the appropriate review cycle
Step 4: Under "Reviewees" click "Filter by status..." to move the completed reviews to the top
Step 5: You can close the review cycle for each person individually by clicking on the ellipses next to the reviewee's name and clicking "End review cycle" OR you can click "Close filtered reviewees" to close all of the completed reviews (shown below)
Once you have completed the above steps, you'll see that some employees have a new status of "Completed and Closed."
If you go to Final Results, you'll see the new status of "Receiving reviews."
Once the reviewee has been closed, their manager will be prompted to share their review packet with them.

I was recently at a friend's home and he had a new HDTV. It was entirely too big for the room where he was viewing it and the closer I sat to the large screen the worse the picture appeared.
Generally, 30-inch and smaller sets are great for bedrooms or guest rooms but too small for the main living room. Sets with bigger screens are large enough for the whole family to enjoy and will probably be too much for most small bedrooms. Remember that tube TVs are also fairly deep and get bulkier as the screen size increases. You'll want to pick out a deep-enough spot for the TV so that it doesn't protrude awkwardly into the room.
Now, go forth and purchase a set that is right for your den and don't let the large-size screens entice you into something you don't need.
This week's Workspace of the Week is Powkang's student studio in NYC. She lives in her workspace, so it's pretty impressive. Check out both sides of her apartment studio, which she's annotated. What I really love is her inspirational view of Manhattan.
It's very cool that she keeps that view uncluttered.
Here's a great uncluttering tip for the kitchen. When my wife and I moved into our first house together, we had a plastic hand soap dispenser and a bottle of dish soap sitting next to our kitchen sink's faucet. It was a messy and unattractive solution. I noticed that there was a covered cutout to the right of the faucet for a spray hose or a soap dispenser. I removed the cover and installed a basic chrome soap dispenser that mounts in the hole (similar to this one) We keep it filled with concentrated, hand-friendly dish soap. Now, whenever we need to hand-wash dishes, we pump soap directly into the sink. Whenever we need to wash out hands, we just use a tiny amount (since it's concentrated). No mess and no clutter.
Thank you for such a terrific suggestion, J. Todd! We do the exact same thing in our kitchen (as you can see in the photo accompanying this article), and it works extremely well because our faucet doubles as a spray hose.
Cell Phones for Soldiers: Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2007. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 15,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.
ReCellular: Wireless Recycling: An increasing number of Americans are using cell phones, discarding them frequently, and creating tons of solid waste even though most of the used cellular phones are still functional. ReCellular saw the opportunity to start a new industry and help protect the environment. ReCellular, Inc., was founded to refurbish, reuse and responsibly recycle discarded cell phones.
American Cell Phone Drive: Donate or recycle your used cell phones through AmericanCellPhoneDrive.org, the largest, most comprehensive, cell phone drive in the world. Over 4,000 organizations are part of AmericanCellPhoneDrive.org. Choose the organization you would like to donate or recycle your used cell phones through in your local community by going to AmericanCellPhoneDrive.org.
Get rid of your old cell phone clutter and do something charitable in the process!
When a reader suggested that we review a store in New York City that caters to space-saving customers, we gave a Manhattan writer a call to see if she could help us. Everyone welcome Ayn-Monique Tetreault-Rooney to the Unclutterer review crew!
Don't live in a McMansion? Check out Tiny Living for ideas and products to maximize your minimal space. This appropriately small New York store (it's only about 10′ wide and 20′ deep) carries all sorts of things to keep your home and office neat and tidy.
The well-chosen selection includes objects that are either smaller than usual or multifunctional. Saving space in the kitchen? Opt for a combo coffee-maker and toaster oven. Getting your finances in order? A mini-calculator magnetic clip will keep your bills in view (and make splitting shared statements a breeze). Bestsellers include salt and pepper mills with grinders shaped like bunny ears and hanging purse racks in on-trend patterns and colors.
Don't worry if you can't get to the Big Apple to shop–this two-year-old store has a large inventory on its website and is adding things by the week. It even offers a few things online, like modern desks and clean-lined loveseats, that just don't fit into the brick-and-morter outlet. Tiny Living is worth a visit if you're in need of outfitting your home or office with space-saving items.
Eating chicken wings can be a messy business, but it doesn't have to be. The SnacDaddy wing tray is the innovative new tray specially engineered to hold chicken wings and hide the leftover bones.
Apparently, using two dinner plates (one for the uneaten wings and one for the leftover bones) is not a good serving idea because the plates aren't "engineered to hold chicken wings" the way SnacDaddy is. See, with the SnacDaddy, you pick up a wing, dip it in the sauce, eat the wing, move the sauce, put the bone in the sauce hole, and then replace the sauce. It's so easy! This device also has the capacity to hold 15 wings at a time! My dinner plates can handle 25 to 30, which must be way too many at a time for a hungry crowd.
How did we get along without the SnacDaddy before now?
On a pseudo serious note, I can actually see how the SnacDaddy would be a good product for use in a sports bar or restaurant that regularly serves chicken wings. As a former food service worker, I could see how the hidden bones would make clearing a table a more pleasant experience. However, with its 13″ diameter and 4″ depth, Ann and John are correct in suggesting that it's serious overkill and clutter for your home.
I've read in numerous organization books the suggestion of covering an end table with a table skirt so that you can hide things under the table (your child's toys, active knitting projects, etc.). Table skirts don't really mesh with my design style, but I can see that this suggestion would work for people whose style it complements.
Table cloths for use on dining room tables are a completely different monster, however. Most people don't hide objects under their dining room tables because that is where human legs belong, so a table cloth isn't being used to hide clutter. If you're worried about your table getting damaged by heavy objects, a flimsy layer of cotton isn't going to protect the wood. It makes more sense to have a piece of glass or clear plexiglas cut to fit your tabletop to better protect its surface. Plus, a piece of glass or clear plexiglas will let you see your table instead of hiding what you likely spent hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars to purchase.
Table cloths have to be stored when not in use, need to be washed after a single meal, and often have to be ironed to look their best. All of these steps and necessary storage space can be eliminated by not having them at all.
If you like the look of a decorated table, buy Chilewich table mats that have a sophisticated appearance and wipe clean with a sponge. They don't require ironing or a spin through the washer and dryer after each use. Plus, a stack of 20 table mats takes up the same amount of storage space as a single table cloth. Combine the table mats with a glass or clear plexiglas covering, and you're on your way to an uncluttered and easily maintained dining room table!
With $100 price tag, I imagine that a homemade version would be kinder on the pocketbook. Plus, the self-cleaning litter box that I use wouldn't fit inside this cabinet. It is, however, wonderful inspiration for those of us with cats!
When you move you usually spend a bunch of time tracking down boxes to transport all of your stuff. My wife and I have hit up grocery stores and other local retailers for boxes that they would otherwise crush and throw away.
U-Haul offers a box exchange resource for prospective movers. It is a simple forum that is split up geographically to help you trade new or used boxes. So rather than running around to retailers you can check the forums for your area and see if there are any boxes available in your vicinity.
After you move, rather than throwing away your boxes, you can post a message to the board and give them to someone who can use them again. If you can't find boxes via the U-Haul forums, you can also try FreeCycle, an Unclutterer favorite.
Cords and chargers for electronic devices are a constant discussion point at the Unclutterer offices, in the reader comments, and through our contact page. I think it's safe to say that cords are a frustrating source of clutter for all of us.
Recently, we've had a slew of suggestions for containing cord clutter from our readers. After combing through them and doing some additional information gathering, I think the following suggestions are downright brilliant. And, as far as we can tell, these readers don't work for the companies that make, distribute, or promote these products.
Reader Aegir suggests: The CableYoYo as another attractive cable spool system.
Reader Beaman suggests: The KangaRooM Charging Station as a sleek way to hide the cords and docking stations for your cell phone, iPod, and other personal electronic devices.
Reader Ian suggests: The PocketDock AV as a simple, clutter-free, multiple connector kit that allows you to link your iPod to numerous AV output devices (like televisions, stereos, and projectors) without having to carry a slew of cables with you.
Do you have suggestions for containing cord clutter? Feel welcome to drop them into the comments section! Like I mentioned above, we're always on the lookout for good ways to control cord and charger clutter.
The researchers have found that subjects are quite accurate in their self assessments and that anyone who chooses picture #4 or above may be eligible for hoarding studies and/or treatment.
Which brings me to the story of a 90 year old man who was rescued from his mountain of clutter in Norton, MA. Local residents were very aware of all the junk in his yard, but had no idea how bad it was inside the elderly man's home.
After someone called authorities Friday concerned that Halko had not been seen for a couple of days, an ambulance responded.
It took paramedics more than 10 minutes to locate him amid the piles of furniture, boxes, magazines, appliances, and trash that he'd accumulated over several decades.
Be aware that hoarding usually takes a hold of an individual when they reach middle age and progressively gets worse. By the time a person reaches their golden years hoarding may consume their whole life and my become a danger to themselves and others. The researchers from the Boston University/Smith College study estimate that 1 to 2 percent of adults suffer from a hoarding disorder.
I'm a big fan of Mark Bittman's food column in The New York Times. His column is titled "The Minimalist," so it's difficult for an unclutterer not to be an avid supporter.
I haven't linked to any of his pieces before because The New York Times has had pay-to-access archives and columns that made links pointless. (Hey! Pay $5 to look at this column! Just kidding!) The announcement on Tuesday that the paper will no longer charge to access any part of its website changed that frustrating situation. Now, we can link to Bittman's and other writers' columns knowing that all of our readers will be able to see the text. Hooray!
The article I've been longing to link to since July 18 is Bittman's "101 Summer Express: Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes of Less." Uncluttered, simple cooking is my kind of cooking.
Enjoy the links. Additionally, this might be another opportunity for me to offer up the advice to cancel your daily print newspaper subscription to our New York City readers. Also, let us know in the comments if you find other uncluttering articles in the archives that we may have missed!


Harvard University's fight against an admissions discrimination lawsuit by Asian-American plaintiffs has sucked up most of the media attention for the past several months.
But the same plaintiff group, Students for Fair Admissions, is also suing the University of North Carolina on the same grounds, and UNC's defense of its race-conscious admissions protocol may raise a few eyebrows.
Both sides filed briefs in federal court Friday, Inside Higher Ed reports, "outlining for the first time in detail their takes on the issues at Chapel Hill." UNC's take: We need to look at race in admissions to uphold our academic standards.
At issue is whether race-neutral alternatives would produce sufficient diversity in each admitted class. UNC claims it did the math on some of these ideas, such as the "Top 10" program used in Texas, which guarantees admission to state-funded colleges for the top 10 percent of each high school's graduating class.
The average SAT of admitted applicants would have dropped from 1317 to 1262 and the projected grade point average of first-year students (based on the high school records and test scores) would have dropped from 3.26 to 3.16. Further, UNC's analysis said that so many slots would have been taken up with top 10 percent students that "hundreds" of worthy applicants from underrepresented groups who either not in the top 10 percent or who attended private or magnet schools wouldn't have been admitted.
Another idea – automatic admission of "the top 7.5 percent of high-poverty schools and the top 3 percent at low-poverty high schools" – would lower average SAT scores by 100 points even as it increases black and Latino admissions. UNC also forecasts higher dropouts of admitted students if it switches to this model.
The plaintiffs' brief highlights UNC's starkly different choices based on the race of potential applicants, based on documents SFFA obtained in discovery.
Contrary to its claims about academic merit plummeting under a race-neutral system, UNC requires white and Asian students to have much higher ACT scores in order to receive recruiting materials.
According to an analysis by the plaintiffs' experts, Asian-American males would have much better chances of getting accepted, based on grades and test scores, if they were Hispanic or African American.
For in-state Asian-American applicants, it jumps from 25 percent to 67 percent (Hispanic) and 90 percent (black). An out-of-state black applicant with the same grades and test scores would have a 99 percent chance.
Inside Higher Ed does not name the plaintiffs' experts, and Students for Fair Admissions has not responded to a College Fix request for briefs Monday. But a group of "leading economists and econometric scholars," including Brown University's Glenn Loury, gave thumbs-up to SFFA's statistical analysis in the Harvard case.

Q: How to join table in fluent nhibernate how do we do this mapping but fluently?
<class name="Person" table="People">

    <id name="Id">
        <generator class="identity"/>
    </id>

    <property name="Name" />

    <join table="Addresses">
        <key column="PersonId"/>
        <property name="Line1"/>
        <property name="Line2"/>
        <property name="City"/>
        <property name="Country"/>
        <property name="ZipCode"/>
    </join>

</class>

I know i can use 'References' but i don't need all the columns from the related table.  i just need one property.

A: What Paco said is not right. This can be done in Fluent NHibernate.
I searched the web myself quite a while, couldn't find anyone talking about this option, so I just played around with FNHibernate a little and finally managed to do it.
This was my scenario :
I have two tables -
"FormFields" => Columns { "FieldId", "FieldName", "FieldType", "DisplayOrder" }
"FormStructure" => Columns { "FormId", "FormType", "FieldId" }

These were my entities :
public class FormStructure
{
    public virtual Int32 FormId { get; private set; }
    public virtual Int32 FormType { get; set; }
    public virtual FormField FieldId { get; set; }
}

public class FormField
{
    public virtual int FieldId { get; private set; }
    public virtual String FieldName { get; set; }
    public virtual int? FieldType { get; set; }
    public virtual int? DisplayOrder { get; set; }
}

I have a couple of methods in my query that return a list of FormStructure objects. I wanted these methods to give me them ordered by the DisplayOrder field in the FormField object, and wanted the DisplayOrder available as a property in my FormStructure object for other reasons as well.
This basically means I needed to join the tables so that I would retrieve all the columns from the FormStructure table along with the DisplayOrder column from the FormField table, joining them on the matching FieldId columns.
What I did to solve this :

*

*I added a property called DisplayOrder to my FormStructure object.
public virtual int? DisplayOrder { get; set; }

*I added the Join method to my FormStructure mapping class so it looked like this.
public class FormStructureMap : ClassMap<FormStructure>
{
    public FormStructureMap()
    {
        Table("FormStructure");

        Id(x => x.Id);
        Map(x => x.FormType);
        References(x => x.Schedule).Column("ScheduleId");
        References(x => x.Field).Column("FieldId");
        Map(x => x.IsMandatory).Nullable();

        Join("FormFields", m =>
        {
            m.Fetch.Join();
            m.KeyColumn("FieldId");
            m.Map(t => t.DisplayOrder).Nullable();
        });
    }
}

The Join method will obviously join between the two tables on the column you defined in the KeyColumn method within the Join.
This will also remove some of the rows that have null values. In order to avoid this (I ran into this recently) you can add m.Optional(); inside the Join method.
I could now retrieve a list of FormStructure objects, order them by DisplayOrder and even have DisplayOrder available as a property in the FormStructure object.
return session.CreateCriteria<FormStructure>()
              .Add(Expression.Eq("FieldName", fieldName))
              .AddOrder(Order.Asc("DisplayOrder"))
              .List<FormStructure>();

This couldn't have been done before, because it wouldn't have recognized the DisplayOrder column in the Order clause I have there.

A: As far as I know, this is not supported in Fluent NHibernate, like many other legacy-database specific mappings. I'm afraid you have to switch back to hbm.xml or mix fluent mappings with hbm.xml

Prevention implies to the various methods that are used by the treatment program to stop people from getting into drug and alcohol abuse in Vermont in the first place. If a person gets into an abuse, it may slowly become an addiction and that is why it needs to be nipped in the bud. By means of campaigning on a statewide basis through schools and colleges, the prevention program tries to catch people early on and educate them about the dangers of addiction. There are counseling cells even in workplaces that educate and counsel people on addiction issues.
The intervention program in Vermont is designed at getting people into treatment by helping them overcome their denial process, suggesting the right kind of treatment method for them and then helping them after the treatment to continue with sober living.
Interventions mainly help people, especially families, which are trying to get their members into modes of treatment.
There are various outpatient, inpatient and residential treatment programs in Vermont that help to treat a person's addiction problem according to needs. The inpatient programs and the residential programs begin with a detoxification process and then have an elaborate aftercare program that trains the person to adjust back into society. The outpatient program is more about education and counseling.


Your eyes are not deceiving you; the number of pets sporting "emotional support animal" vests has been on the rise. In fact, according to researchers from the University of California at Davis, there has been a tenfold increase in the use of emotional support animals for psychiatric services in recent years. This trend has now made its way into the realm of Florida Workers' Compensation.
In an Order dated September 14, 2018, Judge Humphries awarded a claimant reimbursement of $2,370.50 to cover the purchase price for her Bichon Frise-mix dog which she (ironically) named "Baby Sqweez". Torain v. Duval County Schools/Johns Eastern, 16-003854RJH.
In this article, I will explore the implications of this holding and answer some of the most pressing questions it has raised. For example, is an emotional support animal a compensable benefit under F.S. 440; and, should the industry expect a furry avalanche of emotional support animals claims? Inevitably the claimant's bar will continue to pursue this benefit, so I have included several tips to help you avoid the pitfalls that could force you to send your claimants to Vanderpump Dogs in search of a court-ordered furry companion.
In Torain, the Claimant suffered a 2015 injury working as the acting dean at a Jacksonville middle school. Her right shoulder was injured while breaking up a fight between students. The injury was accepted as compensable, and benefits were provided. Three years after she was hurt, the Claimant moved to Georgia. Shortly before her move, her authorized treating surgeon recommended a psychiatrist. Due to the Claimant's move, an unknown Georgia psychiatrist was authorized near her new home. The psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Guy, diagnosed the Claimant with treatment-resistant PTSD and anxiety, and recommended acupuncture, therapeutic massage, ketamine injections, suboxone, and an emotional support animal. Dr. Guy sent a November 30, 2017 letter to the carrier recommending these modalities.
The adjuster received the letter from Dr. Guy on December 12 or 13, 2017. No response was provided to the doctor. On December 22, 2017, the Claimant filed a Petition for Benefits for the emotional support animal. The very next day, the Claimant purchased her dog, Baby Sqweez, for $2,370.50. The E/C filed a Response to the PFB on January 2, 2018, stating that the emotional support animal was not medically necessary and was outside acceptable practice parameters. Shortly thereafter, on January 18, 2018, the Claimant filed a PFB seeking reimbursement for the cost under the "Parodi" doctrine. See Parodi V. Florida Contracting Co., Inc., 16 So.3d 958 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009).
In order to investigate the need for the emotional support animal, the E/C obtained an IME with Dr. Michael Hilton, a psychiatrist. It was his opinion that an emotional support animal was not medically necessary. Based upon the conflict in opinions, the E/C then requested an EMA. The Claimant objected to the appointment of an EMA, arguing that medical necessity had been established by operation of law pursuant to Florida Statute, §440.13(3). In response, Judge Humphries ruled the EMA should proceed, but that Claimant's objection should be heard at the final hearing. Accordingly, the matter proceeded to an EMA with Dr. Pathak. Dr. Pathak agreed with E/C's IME that an emotional support animal was not medically necessary.
Naturally, going into the final hearing with both the E/C's IME and the EMA finding in its favor the E/C felt confident given the strength of the evidence. However, at the final hearing, Judge Humphries agreed with the Claimant's objection that the E/C waived its right to challenge the medical necessity of the emotional support animal. Specifically, Judge Humphries ruled that, since the carrier failed to respond to the written request for an emotional support animal within 3 days or 10 days following receipt of the request, the E/C lost the right to challenge the medical necessity of that treatment modality. Accordingly, the Judge awarded reimbursement to the Claimant for her furry companion.
The Judge did not state in his Order which 440.13 (3) provision was violated, but only determined that failure of the employer/carrier to respond in any way to the doctor's written request for a medical benefit resulted in waiver of the right to argue medical necessity for that alleged medical benefit. By so ruling, the JCC quashed E/C's arguments that an emotional support animal is not a medical benefit contemplated under the statute. In support, the Judge stated "it was recommended by Dr. Guy, the carrier selected authorized treating physician, as a form a treatment." However, under this analysis it is still unclear which of the 440.13(3) provisions applies to Baby Sqweez.
F.S. 440.13(3)(d) requires a "response by close of the third business day after receipt of the request for authorization ….or… authorization for referral for medical treatment". An emotional support animal clearly isn't a "referral" for medical treatment, as that provision suggests referral to another doctor. Is a letter recommending an emotional support animal then a "request for authorization"? That is arguable. But, authorization for what? The doctor isn't providing the dog to the claimant, so there isn't anything for the E/C to technically "authorize". There isn't a CPT code covering payment for Baby Sqweez, and the HCFA form likewise doesn't provide room for explanation for such a benefit.
Reading further, subparagraph (i) requires a response within 10 days to a written request for "specialists consultations, surgical operations, physiotherapeutic or occupational therapy procedures, x-ray examinations, or special diagnostic laboratory tests that cost more than $1,000.00 and other specialty services that the department identifies by rule". Emotional support animals don't fit into any of the enumerated benefits here, nor are they "defined or identified by department rule".
Emotional support animals are simply not mentioned anywhere in Florida Statute 440. In fact, a recent study by the Social Security Administration revealed that no private health insurance covers service animal expenses. Accordingly, neither state nor federal medical coverage through Medicare or Medicaid cover the cost of a service animal.
Since it is plainly evident the insurance industry has yet to acknowledge the emotional support animal as a medical benefit, that means the Torain case is one of first impression in Florida Workers' Compensation.
Breaking down the holding, Judge Humphries ordered the reimbursement of 'Baby Sqweez' because he found (1) an emotional support animal is treatment; and (2) the E/C waived the right to argue medical necessity pursuant to Parodi. Under Parodi, once a claimant (a) makes a specific request for medical care, (b) allows the carrier reasonable time to respond to that request, and (c) obtains medically reasonable and necessary care, then the care is authorized. Applying Parodi, Judge Humphries determined the Claimant purchased the dog 10 or 11 days after the written request for treatment was received by the E/C. The Judge ascertained the Claimant allowed the E/C a reasonable amount time to respond to the request before incurring the expense of the animal. Thus, the Judge ruled that Parodi is applicable and the Claimant was entitled to reimbursement.
We can only hypothesize what this ruling means for future claims. For instance, if a doctor requests "an emotional support animal" for a Claimant, can the carrier then choose any animal to fulfill that purpose? Federal regulations governing the legal status of "emotional support animals" are vague. Unlike a "service dog", an emotional support animal can be a member of any species, does not have to be trained to do anything, and can be a personal pet. Will claim handlers start perusing local rescue groups for animals for Claimants in the future? Would a reptile store be a better choice, given that pythons or even tarantulas have sufficed as emotional support pets for people? What justification does the Claimant in this case have for purchasing a boutique dog breed that costs over $2,000.00? If the award of the emotional support animal is appealed and affirmed, will the E/C be held responsible for the provision of future veterinary treatment for Baby Sqweez? What about the cost of dog food, grooming, vaccinations, or flea treatment? If emotional support animals become the norm in workers' compensation, these issues only scratch (no pun intended) the surface of potential concerns that could arise.
For now, the lesson to be taken from the "Baby Sqweez" case is the importance of responding timely to written requests from authorized treating providers. Even if the request is for something that might not appear to be within acceptable practice parameters, or if it is far-fetched (pun intended), it's important to provide some type of response within either 3 or 10 days, depending upon the most likely applicable statutory rule. You don't need to authorize the request or even specifically deny the request in your initial response. A response stating that you are conducting an investigation into the requested item should suffice. Without responding, however, you run the risk of losing your ability to challenge the medical necessity of that item. Learn from this Baby Sqweez case and make sure to respond to all written requests by authorized treating providers promptly. Otherwise, you risk your exposure potentially going through the "woof"!

Touring New Zealand?
Evan and Morgan
It's a dangerous business going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. -Tolkien
Exploring Cambodia
March 26, 2015 May 23, 2015 Evan
After our trip through Vietnam, we hopped on a bus and crossed the border into Cambodia. Our first stop was the city of Phnom Penh. One of the employees on the bus asked if we were interested to hire his cousin as our tuk tuk driver for the day. We were nervous about walking into a scam, but figured we could be cheated by any driver in town anyway. So we took a chance, and it worked out great!
Our driver was named Mony. He weaved through gridlocked traffic like one hunting deals in Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Since we only had one full day in Phnom Penh, he made sure we saw the highlights and drove us around at a quick pace. He was also very polite and had a great sense of humor.
Our day in the city was easily the most sobering day of our entire trip. It's almost too morbid to post these on our blog, but we decided it would be even more tragic to remain ignorant of the past. We don't want to forget the victims or the effects that sin can have on the human race.
In case you don't know, a man named Pol Pot usurped power in the 1970's. He instituted a Communist Regime called the Khmer Rouge and forced everyone living in cities to go out and work in the rice fields. He believed urbanization was evil and targeted intellectuals for ridiculous schemes and conspiracies. He accused and killed many people thought to be spies. Malnutrition, physical labor, torture, and murder wiped out between 2 and 3 million people under the Khmer Rouge regime.
The population of Cambodia at the time was 8 million.
As a curious history buff, I (Morgan) was really interested to learn more about this country's past. We started our day in Phnom Penh at the Killing Fields. This large plot of land is the final resting place for thousands of Pol Pot's victims. Once every ounce of information was recorded from civilians through hours of torture, victims were sent to these fields to be brutally murdered. We walked past mass graves of men, women, and children. We even saw bones and pieces of clothing along the walkways, resurfacing after recent rains. The most devastating part of our tour was standing by the tree on which they crushed infants' heads before tossing them into a mass grave. The mausoleum housed hundreds of skulls that showed evidence to how the victim was murdered: most were killed by hoes, axes, metal rods, or hammers, as bullets were too expensive for the Khmer Rouge.

You can see holes and cracks in the skulls noting how the victim died.
Bones along walkways that had resurfaced from recent rains
Visitors left bracelets from countries across the world as symbols of respect and remembrance to the victims and international support for victims' families.
Thousands of victims have been exhumed from mass graves
After we left the Killing Fields, we went to Tuol Sleng. This was once a high school, but the Khmer Rouge turned it into a prison and torture chamber. In the 3.5 years that the Khmer Rouge ruled, this prison housed 20,000 victims before sending them to the Killing Fields. The torture devices and sloppily-erected cinderblock prison cells are still in place. Of the 20,000 confined within the prison's walls, only 11 survivors walked away once the Khmer Rouge was disbanded. We even got to meet Chum Mey, one of the only two remaining survivors alive today. It was amazing and devastating that something like this happened, without much of the western world knowing about it, in the last 40 years. It was also a clear reminder that we need a God who can redeem broken situations.

We needed a change of scenery, so Mony took us to the Russian Market and then to the Royal Palace. The grounds were HUGE! It was unfortunately boiling hot, but we had to cover shoulders and knees! Why do the hottest countries in the world require the most clothing?
One of the highlights of the Royal Palace was the Silver Pagoda. The floor of this temple was made entirely of pure silver!

We then went to Wat Phnom. Legend has it that couples who visit Wat Phnom together are doomed to split up. We decided to risk the old wives tale and visit…together. We weren't particularly impressed, but we enjoyed watching the monkeys jump from branch to branch overhead.
Small temples sat on stands in front of most homes and wats. These were meant to give a home to the spirits of men and women wandering the grounds.

Cruising around town in Mony's tuk tuk
The final stop of our long day in Phnom Penh was the King Statue and Independence Monument. These were stunning stops at dusk, and we happily welcomed the cool night air after a LONG, HOT day. We ate dinner along the Mekong River and had a nice walk along Sisowath Quay. We then boarded an overnight bus heading toward Siem Reap.
Independence Monument

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Littered with hundreds of temples, Siem Reap and Angkor Archaeological Park were some of the highlights of our trip. We started our first day exhausted, as our overnight bus trip from Phnom Penh was not a decent night of sleep. In fact, it was probably Evan's least favorite part of the entire 5 weeks. Imagine riding a wooden roller coaster, like the Georgia Cyclone, but doing it for 7 hours while you try to sleep and are really hot.
Despite the bags under our eyes, we made the most of our day and toured the Outer Circuit of Angkor Archaeological Park. The temples were stunning! …Much more so than those that lie in ruin in Vietnam. Our first stop was Pre Rup. This temple had 3 monuments atop a set of steep steps.
Pre Rup
Our next stops along the Circuit loop were East Mebon, Ta Som, and Neak Pean. Some temples were more impressive than others, but each had a unique aspect to them that we could appreciate.
Neak Pean was surrounding by a large moat
Ta Som
King Jayavarman VII spread most of the Khmer empire to its greatest extent around the 1100-1200s. Preah Khan was part of a grand urban plan, but he also built Angkor Thom, Bayon, and Ta Prohm. He built hospitals, highways, bridges and more.
Alleyways of Preah Khan, one of the more impressive temples
Preah Khan-not supposed to be exposing my shoulders…but it was SO HOT!
After finishing our circuit around Angkor Archaeologial Park, we were exhausted and overheated. Tuk-tuks are fun to travel in, but air conditioning is a distant memory. We decided to head back to the hotel, but I jumped at the opportunity to stop to take photos of the wild monkeys playing in the trees and dirt alongside the road.
We quickly learned that our time in Cambodia would consist of avoiding the hot sun by starting early and going until 1 or 2pm, napping during the hottest part of the day, and going back out again at night. The perfect Cambodian sandwich!
Day Two in Siem Reap started with a fantastic wake-up call at Angkor Wat! Getting up at 4:30am, cruising along for a 45-minute tuk tuk ride, and waiting in anticipation for another hour while trying to find a place away from crowds for our 7am sunrise was well worth it. Here is a taste of our anticipation…
Well then proceeded to hire a tour guide to take us through the complex. Here are some interesting facts we learned:
Angkor Wat was built 901 years ago and took 37 years to build
At the time, it was only used twice a month on the New Moon and the Full Moon
It was built as a Hindu temple, with the 3 main spires representing the three main gods of Hinduism: Vishnu, Burma, and Shiva
It was later transformed into a Buddhist temple
Angkor Wat is the only temple to face west (as west represents 'death'), but the king who built it knew he was reaching the end of his life and wanted it to be one of his last lifetime achievements.
Angkor means 'city' and Wat is the Buddhist word for 'temple'
We even met some monks along the way!
Feeling authentic with Buddhist monks
Angkor Wat from behind
Eastern-most end of Angkor Wat
Seems to go on forever!
The 37 steps are very steep, as this symbolizes the Buddhists' belief of the very difficult road one must take to reach heaven.
Stunning sun rays rising above Angkor Wat
After Angkor Wat, we continued around the smaller park circuit towards Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom was the actual city a few kilometers from Angkor Wat. We saw a lot of the ruined palace grounds, living quarters and local temples.
Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom
One of the highlights of Bayon is the many carved heads into the temple's walls
Nice view at Bayon!
We also climbed Baphuon (the oldest structure in Angkor Thom), the Royal Palace ruins, Phimeanakas and Preah Palilay. One our our favorite temples, though, was Ta Prohm. Ta Prohm became famous when it was used at the set of TombRaider. Although, we loved it for the trees that grew in and through the structures. How cool!
In touring 2 days through Angkor Archaeological Park, we quickly realized that our tuk tuk driver was a dud. He was 30 minutes late to pick us up from lunch, picked up the WRONG people the next day, and was often hidden from our view when we came out of temples, only to be found snoozing. Well, at least he was cheap….
One of the many times our tuk tuk driver was busy sleeping when we needed a ride…
After our much needed afternoon siesta, we enjoyed the sunset over the rice paddy fields by ATV.
Water Buffalos at sunset

Downtown Siem Reap had its fascinations as well. We enjoyed the restaurants, street food, live music, markets, and especially the fish foot spas!
Evan was much more ticklish than me Also, please appreciate the Cambodian English sign behind me.
Fun night out on the town!
Evan is trying to decide which street food option suited his craving
I convinced Evan to wake up for another Angkor Wat sunrise, but after returning to our hotel, we couldn't last any longer. The heat and many hours of walking had finally caught up to us. We took a 4-5 hour nap and hit the town for one last, late-night fling on Pub Street.
The following day we wished Cambodia farewell, flew to Bangkok, and hopped on an overnight train towards Chiang Mai. The chapter of our Thailand adventure had begun.

As often as possible, I speak at churches, businesses and women's events about the warning signs of heart disease and stroke. More importantly I talk about the controllable factors – things we have the ability to adjust in our lives. If through my story and my example I can help one other woman turn her life around, sooner rather than later, I will have accomplished much more than I ever accomplished on any job, any assignment or any project I've tackled over the past 40 years. I hope my story helps make a difference.

Too much small print in this grant, i can guarantee you that any construction projects will contracted to the Chinese firms…this is the Dead Aid…Ms. Dambiso Moyo was talking about, completely unnecessary.
Ice_Road_Trucker March 27, 2012 at 12:42 pm
$15m is peanuts. We should be ashamed to accept such beggary gestures as they show that we are a very poor country. We are not. We can easily generate $15m from our own resources, like mining and tourism. Let us operate at the level of the resources God has given us. We are worth billions of dollars. That's how much we have within the Zambian soil.
Poverty is a mind thing.

Heat burn Pacers
Published:Monday | May 14, 2012 | 12:00 AM
Indiana Pacers centre Roy Hibbert of Jamaica (left) and Miami Heat centre Ronny Turiaf battle for the ball during the second half of Game One in an NBA basketball Eastern Conference semi-final playoff series yesterday in Miami. The Heat won 95-86. - AP
MIAMI (AP):
LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in his first game as a three-time MVP, Dwyane Wade finished with 29 despite struggling from the floor and the Miami Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 95-86 in Game One of their Eastern Conference semi-final series yesterday.
Chris Bosh scored 13 points for Miami, but left late in the first half with a lower abdominal injury and did not return. The Heat outscored Indiana 25-16 in the fourth, with Wade and James combining for 22 of those points.
David West and Roy Hibbert each scored 17 points and combined for 23 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 10 points each from Darren Collison and George Hill.
Game Two is tomorrow in Miami.
Lakers outlast Nuggets
Meanwhile, Pau Gasol was consumed by determination, holding off Kenneth Faried with one arm and relentlessly tipping the ball at the hoop with the other in the fourth quarter of Game Seven. One, two, three, four - five! - offensive rebounds later, the ball finally surrendered and dropped through the hoop.
A few minutes later, the truth was as undeniable as that seven-foot Spaniard. Although the Nuggets drove them to the brink of playoff collapse, the Los Angeles Lakers still have the tenacity to win on the biggest nights of the post-season.
Even when Kobe Bryant doesn't lead them.
Gasol had 23 points, 17 rebounds, six assists and four blocked shots, Metta World Peace scored 15 points in his return from a seven-game suspension and the Lakers outlasted Denver for a thrilling 96-87 victory on Saturday night to win their first-round series.
Career high
Steve Blake scored a playoff career-high 19 points and Bryant had a quiet 17 points and eight assists against regular double-teams for the Lakers, who blew a 16-point lead in the second half before surviving a finale with wild momentum swings and furious physical play.
With Gasol leading the Lakers' emotional effort - exemplified by those five offensive rebounds on a single, unbelievable tip play with 7:10 left - the Lakers narrowly avoided becoming the ninth team in NBA history to blow a 3-1 series lead.
"We were aggressive," Gasol said. "We attacked the paint better. We pounded the boards as hard as we could, every single time. ... Our backs against the wall also had something to do with it."
Andrew Bynum had 16 points, a career play-off-high 18 rebounds and six blocked shots for Los Angeles, which must open the second round tonight in Oklahoma City against the second-seeded Thunder.
Ty Lawson and Al Harrington scored 24 points apiece for the sixth-seeded Nuggets, who committed 19 turnovers and managed just 7-of-27 shooting in the fourth quarter. Arron Afflalo scored 15 points in just the third Game Seven in franchise history for the Nuggets, who have lost in the first round in eight of the last nine postseasons - but never with this much excitement.
"Tomorrow or the next day, when the funk gets out of your body, you're going to be proud of them," Denver coach George Karl said. "I've never been in a locker room at the end of a season where every guy in front of me, I'm happy with and I'm content with. ... The game was so physical. I think their size won over our speed."

Crowdfunded transit could be coming to the Beaches
Folks in the Beaches are saying "anything Liberty Village can do, we can do better." And so crowdfunded transit might be coming to the east side neighbourhood as well. A trial shuttle service from Liberty Village to Union Station recently became a long term transit option for residents in an around King and Dufferin, which has other neighbourhoods following suit.
While Line 6 Transit, the team behind the Liberty Village service, has targeted the Beaches as a priority neighbourhood to bring crowdfunded transit to, they're not alone in trying to alleviate commuter headaches. Local resident Jon Chaisson has put together a plan for a commuter service from Queen East to downtown.
The specifics are still being debated, it would seem, but it looks like $260 a month will buy residents a spot on a shuttle that leaves the Beaches at 6:15am, 7:15am 8:15am, and 9:15am, and returns at 4:15pm, 5:15pm, 6:15pm, and 7:15pm. Routing could change on account of planned construction on Eastern Avenue, but this map gives a rough idea of what the service would be like. The pricing would also drop if the shuttle proved popular.
What do you think? Does the Beaches need crowdfunded transit?

Rocco Silano is an American magician, author, and lecturer.

Biography
Silano was born c. 1960, in Paterson, New Jersey. Early on in his career, Rocco studied with and was managed by sleight-of-hand expert and Tony Slydini protégé Bill Wisch. Silano studied with Wisch for at least 4 months in 1980, when Wisch taught him many Slydini routines, including Slydini's cigarette production. "For the last four months Silano has taken private lessons from Bill Wisch, the successor to Slydini, the famous 83-year-old magician, Slydini, who is "one of the best" according to Silano, does not teach anymore. One of the routines Silano has learned from Wisch is Slydini's cigarette production routine known as "poetry in magic" according to Silano." Later, Rocco was introduced to Slydini by Bill and Rocco took lessons with Slydini as well. Rocco stated in an interview with the Wise Guyz Radio Show on May 1, 2019, "He (Bill Wisch) hooked me up with Tony Slydini. He was a student before I was with Slydini and he introduced me to him."  In 1988, he invented a gable-top milk carton that could be more easily collapsed for disposal by removing a tear strip at the bottom of the carton.

Most known for his sleeving techniques and skill, Silano is the recipient of the Merlin and Golden Lion Awards, a two-time winner of the coveted Manhattan Association of Cabarets Award, and has been nominated nine times as Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in four different categories.

Silano is the only American to win awards at two FISM World Tournaments: 3rd place in Micromagic in 1994  in Yokohama, Japan, and "Most Original Act" in 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden.  Silano performed at the 2007 Austrian Magic Convention in Vienna, Austria, and appeared in the VH1 celebrity magic reality series, Celebracadabra, in 2008, as an adviser and guide for celebrity partner and 1st runner-up, Hal Sparks.

Led Zeppelin Cleared of 'Stairway' Copyright Infringement
Hannah Karp
hannah.karp@wsj.com
June 23, 2016 2:56 pm ET
Led Zeppelin did not steal the opening bars of its 1971 mega-hit "Stairway to Heaven" from the band Spirit, a Los Angeles federal jury decided on Thursday.
Michael Skidmore, a trustee for the estate of the late Spirit front man Randy Craig Wolfe, sued Led Zeppelin along with divisions of their record company, Access Industries' Warner Music Group, in federal court in 2014, three years after the band released a remastered version of "Stairway to Heaven." The lawsuit claimed that the beginning of "Stairway to Heaven" was lifted from a song called "Taurus," which features a similar set of descending guitar chords.

Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC
Government to improve counter-IED capability for Australian troops
Australian troops are one step closer to the latest technology to combat the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), after the United States Congress was notified of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) request to acquire JCREW next-generation electronic countermeasure systems.
Subject to Congressional approval, the Australian Government will begin the procurement of the jamming devices as part of Stage One of the Joint Counter Improvised Explosive Device Capability Project (LAND 154 Phase 4).
The Minister for Defence, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds CSC, said this proposed acquisition is part of the Federal Government's $1 billion investment in counter IED capability over the next 10 years.
"Australian forces have used countermeasure systems against the persistent threat of IED attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this new technology will only improve their ability to save and protect lives on operations around the world," Minister Reynolds said.
In 2020 the Government will consider the purchase of the full complement of systems. However an upfront investment of $88 million will deliver 80 mounted and 115 dismounted systems, which will progressively be brought into service from 2022/23.
The investment is part of the Government's broader plan to modernise the Australian Army, which includes new Boxer combat reconnaissance vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and self-propelled howitzers.

Q: u-boot compilation error I have a feeling this may be too broad of a question but I'm hoping some may be a u-boot expert so I'm going to give it a shot...
When compiling for a powerpc based setup similar to redwood, I'm getting an error: nand.c:91: undefined reference to `board_nand_init'
The function is in ndfc.c, which does not have a .h file, and the prototype is defined in nand.h, I don't understand how a function in ndfc.c can be called by another module.
Thanks for your help!

A: This kind of error is usually caused by not defining all the compilation variables required.
See the U-Boot README file.  Some are set with the Makefile:  for example make TQM823L_config which defines all the variables normally used for the TQM823L board.
Other configuration settings need to be done by hand editing the header files.

Q: error code comes up when no error I'm trying to make a error message for my dice sim
import random
loop=1

while loop == 1:
 dice=input("Choose dice 4,6 or 12 sided")
 if dice =="4":
     n=random.randint(1,4)
     print(dice)
     print(n)
 if dice =="6":
     n=random.randint(1,dice)
     print(dice)
     print(n)
 if dice =="12":
     n=random.randint(1,dice)
     print(dice)
     print(n)

 else:
    print("Error")

error comes up for 4 and 6 but when i use the 12 sided no error comes up
Choose dice 4,6 or 12 sided4
4
4
Error

A: You should really state which programming language you're using. I'm assuming this is Python, but if it's not my answer might be wrong.
Your problem is that you need to be using elif, not if. You're also trying to implicitly convert between strings and integers, which doesn't work. This code should, unless I've missed something else.
import random
loop=1

while loop == 1:
 dice=input("Choose dice 4,6 or 12 sided")
 if dice =="4":
     n=random.randint(1,4)
     print(dice)
     print(str(n))
 elif dice =="6":
     n=random.randint(1,int(dice))
     print(dice)
     print(str(n))
 elif dice =="12":
     n=random.randint(1,int(dice))
     print(dice)
     print(str(n))
 else:
    print("Error")

A: You need to use elif instead of if, or a switch statement.
The code you provided says "if dice does not equal 12 then print Error".
Try something like:
while loop == 1:
 dice=input("Choose dice 4,6 or 12 sided")
 if dice =="4":
     n=random.randint(1,4)
     print(dice)
     print(n)
 elif dice =="6":
     n=random.randint(1,dice)
     print(dice)
     print(n)
 elif dice =="12":
     n=random.randint(1,dice)
     print(dice)
     print(n)
 else:
    print("Error")

This lets you break out of the loop early without evaluating every single expression.


Langley children served as a living museum Thursday, dressing as, and teaching others about prominent African Americans. All week, students have been learning about and celebrating African American history and culture through hands-on experiences and special guests.
Black History Month Spirit Week at Langley was in full swing today with gallery walks through the cafeteria and interpreters on hand to teach students about African Americans who contributed to our country in important ways. Kids participated in crafts and had snacks to celebrate the occasion.
Langley Elementary continued its celebration of Black History Month Tuesday with visits from special guests and hands-on learning activities for children. Today's events honored the legacy and contributions of historically black colleges and universities as well as black fraternities and sororities. There were class room readings, panel discussions and recess time with the Bowie State football team (CIAA champions).
Langley students gathered on Monday to hear positive messages of empowerment, learn traditional protest songs and call-and-response chants, and to form an understanding of how and why people march. The rally culminated with the opportunity for children to march around the outside of the school for unity and social justice.
Get Ready for Black History Week at Langley!
I joined about 30 other parents, caregivers and teachers Thursday for A Night of Consciousness, Part 2, a workshop to teach us about our school's social emotional program and ways to adopt it at home. I'm so glad I went. I came away with a better understanding of the brain science that is the foundation for the philosophy, as well as a handful of ideas for better aligning my discipline routine at home with what is taught at school. I wish I could distill all the information for those who couldn't attend the workshop (I tried!), but Nicole Mercer, our Conscious Discipline certified instructor, packed the two hours with so much – I could never do it justice in one blog post.
The Conscious Discipline program does not rely on the traditional threat-reward system for getting kids to cooperate. Instead, that buy-in is earned through a strong relationship. Nicole explained that connecting with our kids every day is one way we build that relationship – and it's important to understand that routine is not connection. Spending time together as we go through the normal routine of the day is not enough. A real connection requires special moments that include eye contact, touch and an expression of your feelings for the child. For example, our principal greets each student daily with eye contact, touch (high-five, fist bump, or bear hug) and warm words as they enter the building – not because it's cute, but to start their day with a positive first connection. If you've ever tried the threat, "if you don't stop that behavior, you might need a visit to the principal's office," I'm sure you realized it didn't work - none of our kids are afraid of their principal! She has built connections with them and has earned their cooperation, rather than scaring them into obedience. And that's what we're really after at home too.

Марта Харнеккер (; 1937 — 15 июня 2019) — чилийская журналистка, социолог и марксистский теоретик. Советник кубинского и венесуэльского правительств, а также ряда леворадикальных организаций Латинской Америки.

Биография
Родилась в семье австрийских эмигрантов. В молодости принимала участие в католическом движении (в организации «Католическое действие»), но на неё оказала сильное воздействие Кубинская революция, особенно после посещения Кубы в 1960 году. В 1962 году отправляется учиться во Францию, где её преподавателем становится Луи Альтюссер. Благодаря его лекциям Харнеккер порывает со своим религиозным прошлым и обращается к материализму и марксизму. По возвращении в Чили в 1968 году вступает в Социалистическую партию Чили и принимает активное участие в студенческом движении. Во время военного переворота Пиночета, свергнувшего демократическое социалистическое правительство Альенде, участвовала в деятельности Левого революционного движения и была вынуждена эмигрировать на Кубу.

Возглавляла исследовательский Институт памяти народов Латинской Америки в Гаване. С 1996 года сотрудничает в альтернативном Интернет-издании «Rebelión». Ныне живёт в Каракасе, являлась советником президента Уго Чавеса. Её книга «Основные положения исторического материализма» (Los conceptos elementales del materialismo histórico y Cuadernos de Educación Popular) использовалась коммунистическими и социалистическими партиями Южной и Центральной Америки, а также была запрещена многими правыми диктатурами региона.

Была женой кубинского революционера Мануэля Пиньейро, многолетнего заместителя министра внутренних дел Кубы и руководителя Американского отдела ЦК Компартии Кубы.
