Missouri law on worker's compensation retaliatory discharge claims has been in flux.
Over the years, our courts have struggled with the standards to be applied in cases of this nature. It is no secret–employment claims have become more prevalent in our litigious world. Employment law is ever evolving, and most litigators in this area spend significant time tracking cases and legislation to be sure that the advice they provide is based on the most current law and regulations that apply. Because our state legislature has recently adopted a new law that governs these claims, this article is intended to alert employers of the new paradigm that now controls how retaliation claims in the worker's compensation arena will be analyzed by our courts.
The Exclusive Cause Test (Old Law):
Employers are prohibited from discharging or discriminating against employees who exercise their rights under the Missouri workers' compensation law. Since at least 1984, the Missouri Supreme Court held that an employee who files a lawsuit claiming he was retaliated against in violation of the workers' comp law must prove the exercise of his rights (e.g., by filing a claim for benefits or reporting a covered injury) was the "exclusive" cause for his termination or other adverse employment action.
The language in the Missouri jury instruction requiring proof that an employee's workers' comp activity was the exclusive cause of the employer's action is no longer binding law. Section 287.780 of our Missouri Statutes once provided, "No employer or agent shall discharge or in any way discriminate against any employee for exercising any of his rights under this chapter."
The Missouri Supreme Court's 1984 ruling in Hansome v. Northwestern Cooperage Co., laid out the elements an employee must prove to recover for retaliatory discharge under the old workers' comp law:
(1) His status as an employee of the company at the time of the injury;
(2) His exercise of a right granted by the workers' comp law (Chapter 287);
(3) The employer's discharge or discrimination against him; and
(4) An exclusive causal relationship between his action and the employer's actions.
A 1998 Missouri Supreme Court decision confirmed the exclusive cause standard in workers' comp retaliation cases, but this ruling was again revisited in 2014 and overturned.
The 2014 Missouri Supreme Court Case "Contributing Factor" Test (Overturned by Statute):
In 2014, our Missouri Supreme Court adopted a new test in worker's compensation retaliation cases. That standard was referred to as the "contributing factor" standard. The Court explained:
"Taking into account the statutory language and this Court's precedent in other discrimination cases, this Court holds that the "contributing factor" standard should apply to causes of action that arise pursuant to section 287.780. Adopting the "contributing factor" standard serves two purposes. First, the legislature's use of the phrase, "in any way," is consistent with this Court's analysis of the "contributory factor" language articulated in Daugherty, Hill, and Fleshner. Therefore, application of the "contributory factor" standard fulfills the purpose of the statute, which is to prohibit employers from discharging or in any way discriminating against an employee for exercising his or her rights under chapter 287. Second, the standard now aligns workers' compensation discrimination with other Missouri employment discrimination laws.
Under this decision, a claimant must show that the filing of the workers' compensation claim was a contributing factor to the Employer's decision to discharge him–not the exclusive factor.
TEMPLEMIRE v. W & M WELDING, INC., 433 S.W.3d 371 (Mo. banc 2014);
The New Paradigm–Motivating Factor Test:
In response to the 2014 decision above, our legislature spoke loud and clear on the new standard that must be applied in worker's compensation retaliation cases. Effective August 28, 2017, our new law provides:
287.780. Discharge or discrimination because of exercising compensation rights prohibited–civil action for damages
No employer or agent shall discharge or discriminate against any employee for exercising any of his or her rights under this chapter when the exercising of such rights is the motivating factor in the discharge or discrimination. Any employee who has been discharged or discriminated against in such manner shall have a civil action for damages against his or her employer. For purposes of this section, "motivating factor" shall mean that the employee's exercise of his or her rights under this chapter actually played a role in the discharge or discrimination and had a determinative influence on the discharge or discrimination.
(R.S.1939, § 3725. Amended by L.1973, H.B. No. 79, p. 401, § 1; L.2017, S.B. No. 66, § A, eff. Aug. 28, 2017.)
Now, employers may escape liability under this new standard by demonstrating that an employee's worker's compensation claim was not the "motivating factor" in the decision to terminate employment. This is a tougher standard for employees to meet indeed, but one thing is for certain–it will be tested.
If you have any questions or would like to visit in greater detail with us at CECB on employment law matters, we are ready to provide you the guidance you need in this evolving area of the law.

Nuke has default settings for many things throughout the application. You can change what the default is in many cases. Often, this means adding a line to a python script that automatically runs each time Nuke starts up, and this file is called init.py. Nuke has one of these files in its installation directory, but it also reads and uses additional init.py files that you may add yourself. It is a good idea to add one of these rather than changing the default init.py in the Nuke install. Most of Nuke's default values are not set in the installed init.py anyway, so there's often not a default value to edit. Adding a new init.py of your own with an explicit command in it to set a new default is the proper approach.
for more about where your .nuke directory is located.
Some of the default values you can set are detailed below.
Note that <path> should be replaced by the path to your font file.
You can see in the above 3 examples that the way to specify the control you set is generally by listing the node name followed by a period, followed by the name of the knob. You can find the name of the knob by hovering your mouse cursor over the knob in the node's control panel.
HINT: If you copy a Nuke node from the node graph to a text editor, you can see the name of the non-default knobs and their values. Nuke does not store the name or the value for defaults in order to save space and time when saving scripts. Nuke 'knows' all the defaults. So, if you want to learn the name of a particular knob, first change it from the default on the node's control panel in the GUI, then copy and paste that node into a text editor. You will then see the actual knob name and the non-default value as you set it. Then you can use a knobDefault command in your init.py file to automatically make your new default every time.


Days before neo-Nazis are scheduled to rally in Washington, Facebook shut down the main opposition event.
A snapshot of the event page Facebook.
WASHINGTON — Facebook removed 32 pages and accounts it said exhibited "inauthentic behavior" similar to that of the Russian propaganda operation running during the 2016 election on Tuesday. As a side effect of this action, Facebook also deleted a real event page organized by real Americans with real political concerns.
The deleted event page, called "No Unite the Right 2 - DC," was a protest organized by a collection of anti-fascist, anti-racist, socialist and anarchist groups. The event page was the main public tool activists used to organize a protest against an upcoming white supremacist rally in Washington D.C. on Aug. 12, the anniversary of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where an alleged white supremacist rammed his car into a group of protesters, killing one woman.
The No Unite the Right 2 - DC event page was created by a Facebook page called "Resisters," before a coalition of local activists called Shut It Down D.C. took over planning for the event. According to Facebook, the Resisters page exhibited behavior similar to Russian-operated social media accounts that worked to sway public opinion during the 2016 election. And when the tech company deleted the Resisters page on Tuesday, it also took down the anti-Unite Right event page.
The collateral damage of Facebook's attempt to block foreign interference in the aftermath of the 2016 election exposes the challenge the company faces when it seeks to stamp out fake accounts taking advantage of actual activism. It also highlights the problems that activists face in relying on Facebook, the largest online gathering place of people in the world, for political organizing as the tech giant seeks to impose more control over user activity.
The activists hosting the counterprotest say they were blindsided by Facebook removing their event page, which they said was the culmination of hundreds of hours of online and on-the-ground organizing. They are also critical of Facebook's decision to announce the removal of the event page in a telephone press conference, which resulted in top media outlets characterizing the anti-racist protest as a foreign "fake influence campaign." And now, a week-and-a-half before neo-Nazis are expected to rally in D.C., anti-racist activists are spending their time explaining that they are not Russian bots and that their political stance against white supremacy is not Russian agitprop.
The evidence Facebook provided for removing the event page is thin. According to the tech company, Resisters, the administrator that created the event, appeared to be an inauthentic account, Facebook said. At some point, an account linked to the Internet Research Agency, the Russian troll farm named in a recent indictment related to the 2016 election meddling, was a co-administrator of the Resisters page for about seven minutes, according to Facebook. The tech company said this occurred "back some time ago," but did not provide a specific date.
Some of the Facebook users whose accounts or pages were taken down on Tuesday used VPNs, private internet networks and internet phone services "to hide their identity," Facebook officials told reporters. These practices are commonly used by activists, who are increasingly at risk of being doxxed by white supremacists or even targeted by the government.
In addition to the Resisters, there were five other legitimate co-hosts listed on the "No Unite The Right 2- DC" event page, Facebook officials acknowledged. But because the company was concerned about Resisters, it opted to wipe out the entire event.
The Resisters page was created on March, 21 2017, according to the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab. It described itself as: "Online and offline feminist activism against fascism. Widespread public education and direct action, amplifying the voices from targeted communities." The page included linguistic errors that are characteristic of native Russian-speakers and pushed divisive content in a way that resembled other Russian operations, the Atlantic Council's DFR lab wrote. By teaming up with real activists, Resisters "infiltrated the genuine protest community," DFR lab continued.
After Facebook removed the Resisters page and the anti-Unite the Right 2 event page, D.C.-based organizer Brendan Orsinger came forward on Twitter as one of the administrators of the now-defunct Resisters page. Orsinger, who is known to many in the D.C. activism community, said someone from the Resisters page reached out to him in January when he was organizing a rally protesting President Donald Trump's State of the Union and suggested they coordinate efforts. After the State of the Union, Orsinger was asked to become an administrator on the Resisters page. The page had about 20,000 followers; Orsinger figured it would help boost his activism efforts so he accepted the offer, he wrote.
Orsinger now thinks that one of the accounts he communicated with over the past seven months, a woman named Mary, could be an inauthentic account. But many of the people behind the Resisters page were legitimate activists, he said. And although Resisters created the anti-Unite the Right event page, locals have led the organizing effort, several D.C.-based activists told HuffPost. A coalition effort called Shut It Down D.C. includes Black Lives Matter D.C., the D.C. Antifascist Collective, D.C. Industrial Workers of the World, Smash Racism D.C., the Socialist Party of D.C. and others.
D.C.-based organizers are now in the difficult position of trying to prove a negative: that they are not part of a Russian government-backed influence campaign. And they say Facebook's handling of the situation is to blame. According to event organizers, the tech giant first reached out on Monday night around 9 p.m. with an innocuous-sounding email.
"I'm reaching out to set up time to discuss an event you are listed as a host of on Facebook," a political outreach employee at Facebook wrote in an email to event administrators.
A screenshot of an email Facebook sent to activists.
The email did not indicate that Facebook suspected the event of being tied to a Russian sock-puppet account or that it had plans to delete the event page. Facebook sent a similarly-worded email shortly after the event page was taken down.
Several activists who saw the email said it looked like spam or a spear phishing attempt. "It would have been cool for Facebook to actually talk to us and figure out what's going on. Not shut the page down and send this sketchy email," Batcher, the Shut It Down organizer, said.
At least one organizer received a longer email from Facebook, explaining that the event page was removed because it was created by "someone establishing an inauthentic account that has been associated with coordinated inauthentic behavior." In that longer email, Facebook offered to help organizers promote a new event page.
The new event page, called "Hate Not Welcome: No Unite The Right 2" already has more than 1,500 Facebook users listed as attending or interested in attending. But organizers say the damage has been done. By Tuesday night, several media outlets had run stories depicting the anti-Unite the Right protesters as pawns of a Russian influence operation.
"Instead of continuing to organize our protest, we're fielding a bunch of press calls about, 'So, are you Russia?'" Petrohilos said.

Brady, Buccaneers thriving despite losing big-name receivers
It doesn't seem to matter who Tom Brady's throwing to, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep finding ways to win. Antonio Brown is the latest big-name playmaker the seven-time Super Bowl champion won't have at his disposal the remainder of the season. Brown was booted off the team after the wide receiver abruptly left the sideline during the third quarter of Sunday's 28-24 come-from-behind victory over the New York Jets.

"He's a guy that can play outside, he can play inside, he can run, he's got length, he's got speed," Holmes said. I wanted to play, and prove I'm not just a special teams player.
Ex-Lions WR Breshad Perriman reportedly signing with Chicago Bears to stay in NFC North
ALLEN PARK -- Breshad Perriman has reportedly found a new home, one that will allow him to play the team that cut him before the season twice, signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears per ESPN. Perriman signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency, with nearly all of his $2.5 million salary guaranteed. The Lions then kept six receivers on their initial 53-man roster, trading for Trinity Benson, keeping former lacrosse pro and offseason standout Tom Kennedy. Chicago's receiver room is headlined by Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney, with Rodney Adams, Damiere Bryd and Marquise Goodwin also making the 53-man roster. The Bears also claimed receiver Nsimba Webster off waivers via the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday.

The Lions expected Perriman to start this season, and guaranteed almost all of his $2.5 million salary. Perriman caught just one of his five targets in the preseason overall. With Perriman out, Kalif Raymond -- who opened camp as the backup in the slot -- appears to have won the other outside job.

Williams averaged 15.5 yards per reception in 2019, running more crossing routes than nearly any other NFL receiver from 2016-2019. He's a long, explosive receiver the Lions are hoping can unlock quarterback Jared Goff's deep ball. "Yeah, a little bit," Williams said when asked if he feels like the receiver room is being overlooked.

Bosa was carted off the field with a left knee injury. Two plays later, Thomas needed to be carted off — also with a left knee injury —after an 8-yard reception by Chris Hogan.

Camp injuries, virus protocols had some NFL teams scrambling
I think theres a lot of teams in the league right now that are dealing with all kinds of injuries.He's right. Teams all over the league were sent scrambling during camp. Certainly not during training camp when players are going hard to make the roster as the start of the regular season rolls closer. It's the soft tissue injuries and those things that you are trying to prevent with the ramp-up period," Bitonio said. That will certainly be something to monitor as the regular season begins and teams deal with injuries and potential replacements.
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Week 16: Breshad Perriman Top Priority Add This Week
The Dolphins get the one-win Bengals in Week 16, meaning the journeyman quarterback will remain fantasy relevant for one more week. WR Breshad Perriman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Perriman is my top add of the week, and frankly, it isnt very close. TE Mike Gesicki, Miami Dolphins Let me preface this by saying the tight end options on the waiver wire are not great this week. The second-year tight end finished with four receptions for 47 yards, but should have more success against Cincinnati this week. As long as he plays, Fant will be one of the top streaming options at tight end in Week 16.

Preparations for Expo 2020 Dubai are firmly on track with contracts in excess of US$3billion awarded so far in 2017, it was revealed during a recent dedicated Procurement Conference.
Expo 2020 Dubai has so far awarded AED 10.8 billion-worth (US$2.94 billion) of construction and AED 411 million-worth ($112 million) of non-construction contracts this year.
It will reach its target of AED 11 billion ($3 billion) construction contracts after the awarding of urban planning and event overlay packages due to be finalised early next year.
These packages will be among a number of other opportunities made available by the Dubai government as it moves into the next stage of delivering Expo, which focuses on operational expenditure.
Other sectors that will offer procurement opportunities next year to companies of all sizes include design, logistics, health and safety, construction and construction materials.
The total number and value of these contracts will be announced in the coming months.
Details of these upcoming prospects were announced during the Expo 2020 Dubai Procurement Conference, which took place on 21 November in Dubai, where companies were updated on Expo's progress and had the chance to meet members of Expo's Procurement team during the latest 'Meet the Buyer' session.
"This has been a significant year on the journey to Expo 2020 Dubai and we are excited to continue our smooth progress into 2018, which will see us offer further opportunities to companies in the UAE and the wider region," said Manal AlBayat, senior vice president of Business Development and Integration at Expo 2020 Dubai.

Sri Lankan Anti-Muslim Riots Claim First Life As Communal Tensions Rise
The Logical Indian Crew
May 14th, 2019 / 7:20 PM
Image Credit: Bangkok Post
A 45-year-old man was hacked to death in Sri Lanka after a religiously-fuelled mob attacked his carpentry workshop on Monday. The man succumbed to his injuries after being rushed to a hospital in Puttalam district where the rioting began on Sunday, according to a police official who spoke to AFP.
"Mobs had attacked him with sharp weapons at his carpentry workshop," the police official told the AFP news agency. "This is the first death from the riots."
Today, Amith Weerasinghe of Mahason Balakaya, a Sinhalese Buddhist group and Namal Kumara, a self-declared anti-corruption activist along with 13 others have been arrested for questioning in connection with Monday's violence, according to police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara who spoke to The Hindu.
Other reports claim that two busloads of people, aided by local goons, carried out attacks on mosques and Muslim-owned shops. Homes were torched on May 13 at Kurunegala district in Sri Lanka.
Hilmy Ahmed, the vice president of the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka while speaking to the Hindu said, "The fact that the mobs arrived in buses showed that these attacks were planned…It was very much like the previous instances of anti-Muslim attacks,"
The rising anti-muslim mob violence is seen as the worst outbreak of violence since the Easter Sunday Bombings. In an address to the nation on Monday night, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said a countrywide curfew was declared to prevent unidentified groups orchestrating communal violence.
Sri Lanka officials lifted the nationwide curfew imposed on Tuesday but decided to reimpose it in the North-Western Province (NWP) of the country which includes the Puttalam and Kurunegala districts.
Rising violence around the country
According to The Hindu, the police said that there have been sporadic incidents of mobs throwing stones and torching shops, motorcycles and cars owned by Muslims.
In the town of Hettipola, at least three shops were torched. Whereas in the town of Minuwangoda, just north of Colombo, a Muslim-owned hotel and a mosque were attacked by stone-hurling mobs armed with sticks.
Al Jazeera reported that glass was strewn across the Abrar mosque in the town of Kiniyama that was attacked overnight. All the windows and doors of the soft-pink building were smashed and copies of the Quran were thrown onto the floor.
Police chief Chandana Wickramaratne has said that constables have been issued orders to use "maximum force" against rioters.
The country of Sri Lanka which has been under a state of emergency since the Easter Sunday bombings has now given its security forces sweeping powers to arrest and detain suspects for long periods, according to Al Jazeera.
"Several shops have been attacked," a senior police officer told AFP. "When mobs tried to attack mosques, we fired in the air and used tear gas to disperse them."
Anti-muslim riots have been on a rise in the country ever since the Easter Sunday bombings, in what is seen as a communal backlash response. But the latest wave of unrest started when a mob, enraged by a Facebook post of a shopkeeper, targeted Muslim-owned shops in the town of Chilaw, 70 kilometres north of Colombo.
According to reports, "Don't laugh more, 1 day u will cry," was the comment posted on Facebook by the Muslim shopkeeper, and local Christians took it to be a warning of an impending attack.
This sparked a mob to vandalise the man's shop and a mosque nearby, while security forces fired in the air to disperse the agitated crowd. Authorities said they arrested the author of the post.
Condemnation Pours Over Twitter
On Sunday, the government temporarily banned social media networks and messaging apps after several towns experienced attacks on its Muslim population. However, Twitter has remained unaffected and has been used as the means to communicate with the general public.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe posted this on his Twitter account on Monday.
I appeal to all citizens to remain calm and not be swayed by false information. Security forces are working tirelessly to apprehend terrorists and ensure the security of the country, but each time there is civil unrest, we increase their burden and hamper ongoing investigations.
— Ranil Wickremesinghe (@RW_UNP) May 13, 2019
Amnesty International too commented on 'this worrying trend'.
A worrying trend of attacks against the Muslim community coming out of #SriLanka following #EasterSundayAttacksLK.
Authorities must hold perpetrators to account & ensure the safety of vulnerable groups. Historical injustices must not be repeated. #Negombo #Chilaw #Kuliyapitiya
— Amnesty International South Asia (@amnestysasia) May 13, 2019
Former Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara also pitched in his comments.
STOP. BREATHE. THINK. OPEN YOUR EYES. If we lose ourselves in violence, racism, thuggery and hatred we lose our country. Unite as Sri Lankans, be peaceful, keep each other safe. Do not give into shameful, divisive political agendas. WE HEAL AND RISE TOGETHER AS ONE NATION

Imunify360's firewall, tightly integrated with the WAF, can stop the majority of web application attacks even before they start, but of course, we want to make sure that valid visitors can always reach your website.
We use an advanced Google reCaptcha system (or you can enable the Invisible reCAPTCHA) as it dramatically reduces false positives and improves usability for 'blocked' visitors while making it harder for bots to bypass.
If a visitor violates the Imunify360 security rules, tries to enter the wrong password, for example, then Imunify360 automatically blocks the access to your server from their IP address, adding it to the Gray List. It will then redirect the visitor to the Captcha.
If the information requested is entered correctly, Imunify360 will promptly remove that visitor from the Gray List.
You can dramatically enhance the visitor experience by enabling the Invisible reCAPTCHA within the Imunify360 software. Just go to Settings tab -> General section, mark the "enable the invisible reCAPTCHA" checkbox and click Save Changes.
In a nutshell, the Invisible reCAPTCHA uses Google's Advanced Risk Analysis technology and Artificial Intelligence to determine whether it is a human or not. For example, if a real person had tried to enter their password multiple times, then the user will be redirected to the destination page automatically, with just a few seconds delay, without an annoying validation screen.
Of course, security is still key, and when the Invisible reCAPTCHA detects bot-related requests, it will still trigger the CAPTCHA challenge. This will block the automated software from reaching the website or a page.

It's July and it's HOT HOT HOT! Muy Caliente. Have no fear though, I put together a list of activities to keep your kids cool. Ready. Set. Go!
1. Redneck Water Sprinkler: Grab an old pop bottle, poke dozens of holes and thread onto hose.
I've seen others attach with duck tape.
2. Water Balloon Teamwork: Divide children into two teams. Have the children pair up within their team with a partner, back to back and linking arms. Place a water balloon between the two players. Have them carefully walk to a designated spot with a bucket. Together, they must get the water balloon in the bucket without popping it. After they run back, the next two players can go. The team with the most intact water balloons is the winner at the end.
4. Wet Sponge Relay: You will need two buckets filled with water, two empty jars, and two large sponges (like car wash sponges) for this game. Form two teams. Each team makes a line next to a bucket filled with water. When the game starts, have the first member of each team put the sponge in the water, put it on their head, and run towards a jar at the other end of the playing area. Squeeze the water into the jar and run back. Continue on with the rest of the players. The first team to fill the jar to overflowing wins.
Make soap fish or another shape using molds you have on hand. Then send the kids out to "wash" the sidewalk. Great for bath time too!
DIY ICE BOWLING! Make balls of ice, fill water bottles or sports bottles with food coloring and water.
Your child can race his ice boat down a tin foil river!
9. Wet Sponge Hot Potato: Everyone sits in a circle. Play music or sing a song. Pass the wet sponge around the circle. When the music has ended (just play a short segment) or the song is over, the person left with the wet sponge can squeeze it over their head. They can also choose to squeeze it over another child's head. Refill the wet sponge and play again.
11. Ball blast Use ropes to create a circle or square on your lawn. Place balls of varying sizes and weights inside. Give your child a hose and challenge her to push the balls out with the water in less than a minute.
This can be used in the tub or in the kitty pool.
14. Wet Sponge Basketball Divide the children into pairs and give each pair a wet sponge. One child will hold their arms in a hoop in front of them. The other will shoot for the hoop with the sponge. Substitute hula hoops if they are available.
Another great idea from Growing a Jeweled Rose: Magic Ice Chalk.
18. Water Babies: Fill up a water balloon and draw a face on it with a dark marker. Wrap him/her in a paper towel, then hand your kid his new "baby." See how long he can take care of it before it breaks.
Who doesn't like the words, "Target Practice?" This one is from Play Learn Imagine.
21. Liquid limbo: Use the stream from a water hose as the stick for a high-stakes game of limbo.
Love this idea and can't wait to try it. All you need is a marker and a few sponges.
24. Water Gun Tag: This one is pretty self explanatory, whoever is "it" gets to tag other with a cold squirt!
26. Jump water: Run a strong stream of water from a garden hose back and forth like a snake under your child's feet, allowing him to jump over it. With more kids, turn it into a competition: Whoever's feet don't get drenched wins!
29. Pool Ping Pong: Float an inner tube in the center of the pool (a kiddie pool works great!), then toss a bunch of ping-pong balls in the water. Kids who know how to swim unassisted can jump in, retrieve the balls, and try to toss them in the tube.
Now you have 31 ideas to pull from the next time your brood says, "I'm hot." What are some of your favorite kids' activities to cool off? Let me know, I would love to add it to my list!

State pattern is very important and, when faced with the usual implementation of "a state machine" (enum + switches) we should consider refactoring to use this design pattern instead, especially if we consider from start that we will have many state-dependent functions and/or if we expect changes into the states (which is almost always true!).
But let's say we have to add new states…Starting? Stopping? We will need to add more cases into the switch..and that's only one function! what if we have multiple functions that change based on the state we're on? That's a whole mess for maintaining the code.
The state pattern implies that we have an interface that contains functions dependent on the state, and for each state we will have a separate class that inherit from interface, and override those virtual functions.
Every state change should close the previous state then open the new one, to assure state coherency.

Waukesha Christmas parade victim Jessalyn Torres making improvements, says family
The family of Jessalyn Torres says she's showing small signs of improvement, but she's still in critical condition.
By: Bruce Harrison
WAUKESHA, Wis. — The family of Jessalyn Torres says she's showing small signs of improvement, but she's still in critical condition.
Last Sunday, a man drove his SUV into the Waukesha Christmas parade and the vehicle struck 11-year-old Torres. Six people were killed and dozens of others were injured.
Her uncle, Ryan Kohnke, says the most important step in Torres' recovery right now is to get her off a ventilator and breathing on her own.
Then, Kohnke says, doctors will feel more comfortable sedating her more deeply to deal with her serious internal injuries, including a detached kidney, fractured pelvis and liver and lung damage.
"She's actually taking a lot more breaths now. It's her exhale we're really worried about right now," said Kohnke. "We've tried to only focus on the positive. We won't discuss any negative. In the back of my mind, it's still up in the air. But we just won't accept it."
Under hospital COVID-19 protocols, he's one of just two people allowed to visit Torres and her mother, Amber Kohnke, at the hospital. Kohnke says family and friends continue to send text and video messages of encouragement to aid in the little girl's recovery.
A GoFundMe was launched last week to help Torres' family with medical bills.


Cat owners are being urged to protect their pets from sun exposure as rising temperatures puts them at risk of developing sunburn and skin cancer.
Cats Protection says cats with white or pale coloured ears or noses are particularly susceptible to the sun's harmful rays – with some needing drastic surgery to repair sun damaged skin.
Ahead of Sun Awareness Week (May 8-14), the UK's largest cat charity has issued advice to owners to keep cats indoors during very sunny weather.
Cats Protection's Education Veterinary Officer Sandra Milburn said: "We regularly have cats coming into our care with early or advanced stages of skin cancer caused by sun exposure. In many of these cases, we need to amputate the ears to prevent the spread of the disease.
"Like many of us, cats love the warm weather and enjoy lounging around in the sun. However, just as with humans, too much sun exposure can be very dangerous and owners should take precautions to protect their cats.
"White cats, or those with unpigmented white noses or ears, are at the greatest risk. It may take a few years before the damage is visible but, once the early stages of cancer set in, it is important cats are given urgent veterinary treatment to prevent it spreading.
"The good news is that you can protect your cat by keeping him or her indoors during the hottest part of the day, particularly during the summer months. It's also a good idea to provide lots of shady areas in the garden where your cat may like to snooze – whether it's a large shrub or artificial shade, such as a small pop up tent.
One cat currently recovering from surgery to remove both her badly-sunburned ears is Pearl, a 16-year-old former stray being cared for at Cats Protection's Derby Adoption Centre.
Manager Helen Wood said: "Poor Pearl was in quite a state when she was found as a stray, with both ears having sustained serious damage as a result of sun exposure. Sadly, her ears could not be saved and both needed to be removed to prevent the spread of skin cancer.
Cats Protection is the UK's largest cat charity, with over 250 volunteer-run branches and 32 centres helping around 500 cats a day, or 200,000 a year.


Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder presenting with dangerously low body weight, and a deep and persistent fear of gaining weight. To date, only one genome-wide significant locus associated with AN has been identified. We performed an exome-chip based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in 2158 cases from nine populations of European origin and 15 485 ancestrally matched controls. Unlike previous studies, this GWAS also probed association in low-frequency and rare variants. Sixteen independent variants were taken forward for in silico and de novo replication (11 common and 5 rare). No findings reached genome-wide significance. Two notable common variants were identified: rs10791286, an intronic variant in OPCML (P=9.89 × 10 -6), and rs7700147, an intergenic variant (P=2.93 × 10 -5). No low-frequency variant associations were identified at genome-wide significance, although the study was well-powered to detect low-frequency variants with large effect sizes, suggesting that there may be no AN loci in this genomic search space with large effect sizes.

Current: School Roof Declared a Nature Reserve
The Bauder Biodiversity Roof on the Sharrow School is the First Green Roof in the Country to Achieve Nature Reserve Status.
The Bauder green roof on Sharrow Primary School in Sheffield is declared a Local Nature Reserve. The school will be the first green roof in the country to achieve this status - a fitting accolade for a school that defies traditional ideas of what a school should be.
Restricted ground space opened up the opportunity to create green roofs at three levels for play space, 44m² of outdoor classrooms and a 1200m² biodiversity roof designed to replicate a meadow, complete with cornflowers and other urban plants. It is also a haven for birds and other kinds of wildlife, with rotting tree stumps provided for many kinds of insects. All of roofs are used as a learning resource with curriculum-friendly uses for all the children.
Sharrow Primary is also now Sheffield's greenest school, with a heating system powered by warmth coming up from deep in the earth, toilets flushed by rainwater. The Bauder roof works on a technical level, sorting water run-off problems and assisting in the control of storm water, humidity, noise, heat and pollution. Additionally, the roofs incorporate a BREEAM A+ rated Bauder waterproofing system with 120mm of PIR insulation to achieve a U value of 0.2W/M² constructed on a concrete deck.
All in all, the Sharrow School is a real testament to what can be achieved and is a landmark construction that raises the benchmark.
