Transfer Criteria
This question applies primarily to four-year institutions and their criteria for accepting transfer students, as Nunez, like other community colleges, is an open-admissions institution. However, here are the admissions policies affecting transfer students, as described in the 2016-2017 College Catalog:
A transfer student is any student who has been previously enrolled at any postsecondary school. Transfer students may enroll at Nunez if they are eligible for readmission at the last school attended. Transfer students are admitted provisionally until all required transcripts have been received. An official transcript is one mailed directly from the Registrar of the previous institution to the Nunez Admissions Office. Failure to acknowledge attendance at any college or university may result in immediate dismissal. If official transcripts have not been received at the time of registration, the student may be admitted provisionally.
Transfer credits from all regionally- accredited institutions of higher education are recorded on the student's permanent academic records. Nunez will compute the grade point average for transfer students in the same manner as is done for a Nunez student.
Upon receipt of each transcript, Admissions Office personnel determine if the institution where the credit was earned is accredited or recognized. All credits earned at regionally-accredited schools are accepted in transfer; however, not all credits earned may apply toward a particular degree or certificate. Acceptance of transfer credits to meet degree/certificate program requirements will be governed by the following guidelines:
Acceptance of courses taken more than 10 years before a student transfers to Nunez Community College is determined by the Chair of the Department in which the student's program of study resides.
Acceptance of courses that are not equivalent to courses taught at Nunez Community College is determined by the student's Department Chair.
Grades for transferred courses will be interpreted according to the Nunez grading scale and will be recorded as follows:
Plus (+) or minus (-) symbols will be disregarded.
Grades of Satisfactory, Pass, and Credit will be treated alike and will count only in hours earned.
Failing grades, including WF, will count as hours attempted.
Grades in developmental courses are treated the same as grades in other courses.
Grades of NC (no credit) will not be recorded.
Incomplete ("I") grades will be treated as "I" grades issued by Nunez and will be converted to "F" if not converted to a passing grade by the Nunez deadline.
Transcripts will be evaluated for degree-seeking students during their first semester at Nunez by Admissions Office personnel.
A transfer grade of "D" will not meet the course pre-requisites for courses in a sequence. Refer to the Course Descriptions section of the catalog to verify minimum grade requirements for specific courses.
If the transfer work was earned in quarter hours, the credits will be converted to semester hours. (The number of quarter hours times 2/3 equals the number of semester hours.)
The Louisiana Board of Regents Student Transfer Guide and Articulation Matrices (http://regents.louisiana.gov/assets/docs/Data/MASTER_COURSE_ARTIC_MATRIX_2011-12.pdf ), as well as individual transfer guides from institutions with which Nunez has entered into transfer agreements, will be used to determine course equivalencies.
Courses taken at institutions that are not accredited by regional associations that accredit institutions of higher learning are generally not accepted at Nunez Community College. However, students transferring from non-regionally accredited institutions can request credit, provided the College itself can document that faculty qualifications and student competencies in the transferred courses are equivalent to its own courses.
Students may pursue one of the following avenues to gain acceptance of this coursework:
Use the coursework as a basis to apply for Credit by Examination.
Use the coursework as a basis to apply for LEAP (Life Experience Assessment Program) credit.
Establish that a regionally-accredited institution has accepted the courses in question toward a degree or certificate.
A student who transfers to Nunez with an adjusted cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher will be admitted in good standing.
A transfer student with less than a 2.00 adjusted cumulative GPA will be admitted on probation. If in the first semester, the student fails to achieve a semester grade point average of 2.00 or higher, the student will be suspended for one semester.
Transfer students who were on academic suspension at their previous institution may not be admitted to Nunez until their suspension period has ended. Students may appeal in writing to the Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs to enroll while on academic suspension. However, students who intend to transfer back to the previous institution should get express written consent from the suspending institution granting the student permission to enroll at Nunez while on suspension.
Process for Evaluating Program Effectiveness
Nunez uses a 3-year cycle of Academic Program Review to evaluate program effectiveness.
Explanation of Student Outcomes for Each Program
The College Catalog program page for each program describes the student outcomes for that program.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Definition
Here is the definition of satisfactory academic progress from the 2014-2015 College Catalog:
To be eligible for Title IV Federal Financial Assistance, a student must be in good academic standing and enrolled in an eligible program. To retain eligibility, a student must maintain a satisfactory overall (from all colleges attended) cumulative and Nunez cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and a total earned/attempted credit hours ration in accordance with the set standards.
Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy provides the guidelines for monitoring academic progress and determining eligibility for all federal financial aid, scholarships, and other aid programs. All students receiving any financial aid or scholarships from Nunez must abide by this policy as well as any other specific requirements for scholarships or waivers as applicable.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) has three parts: a qualitative standard (grade point average standard); a credit hour standard (based on the completion of a minimum number of hours attempted); and a time standard (the maximum number of credits a student may attempt in completing his/her course of study). These standards are used consistently for all Nunez students who apply for Title IV Federal Financial Assistance. This includes all new, transfer, re-entry, re-admit with transfer work, and continuing students at Nunez.
All transcripts for transfer students must be received by the Admissions Office before satisfactory academic progress for financial aid eligibility can be determined.
Grade Point Average and Credit Hour Standards
The grade point average standard requires that as the number of hours a student has attempted increases, the student's minimum required cumulative grade point average (CGPA) increases. Students on academic probation who have an adjusted cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the conclusion of any term are placed on financial aid probation for one semester. The student may receive financial aid for one semester. If at the conclusion of the probationary semester the student fails to raise his/her cumulative GPA to 2.00, the student will be suspended from receiving all financial aid.
The credit hour standard requires that a student satisfactorily complete (earn a passing grade in) a minimum number of the credit hours attempted. The following chart indicates the hours that must be satisfactorily completed based on the hours attempted. A student who attempts fewer than 3 hours must successfully complete all of them.
Credit Hours Attempted
Minimum Hours to be Earned
Time Frame for Achievement
For financial aid status, students are advised to enroll only in courses required in their program of study so as not to exceed the time standard prior to completing their program. Students are allowed Title IV funding for up to 1 1/2 times (150% of) the hours required for their program. Degrees require about 60 hours; therefore, the maximum number of allowable hours attempted for degree programs is 90 hours. Certificates require about 30 hours; therefore, the maximum number of allowable hours attempted for certificate programs is 45 hours. Adjustments may be made for programs that are longer or shorter than 30 and 90 hours.
Hours removed through academic amnesty will count toward hours attempted for the time frame standard. Additionally, courses taken toward a different program of study and courses for which no financial aid was awarded will count toward this limit unless a student is admitted into a limited admissions program.
For students enrolled in a limited admissions program, the hours earned that do not apply to the program are excluded from the time frame standard. Currently, the limited admissions programs offered at Nunez are Emergency Medical Technology, Industrial Technology, Practical Nursing, and Teaching.
Credits earned more than 10 years prior to the date of enrollment will not be included in hours attempted if these hours don't apply toward the student's degree or certificate. Affected students must get written documentation (usually a completed degree or certificate form) from the VCASA in order to have the older credits excluded from the computation of hours attempted.
Measuring Academic Progress
A student's progress will be measured at the end of each semester or session in which the student is enrolled. Grades of "A," "B," "C," "D," and "P" will be counted as satisfactory completions; grades of "F," "W," "I," and "NP" will be counted as unsatisfactory attempts. A student who fails to meet SAP requirements may continue to receive financial aid on probation for one semester. If the deficiency is not corrected by the end of the probationary semester, the student will be ineligible to receive further aid until the SAP standards have been met.
A student who is re-enrolling after a semester on academic suspension will not be able to receive any financial aid until he/she is making satisfactory academic progress as defined by both the Grade Point Average and Credit Hour standards.
Following academic amnesty, a student who has not exceeded the time frame standard will be placed on financial aid probation and must satisfactorily complete all hours attempted every enrolled term in order to continue receiving Title IV financial assistance.
Hours attempted include hours earned, incompletes, failures, and withdrawals. These limits apply even when a student has not received financial aid funds during the entire period.
A second degree or certificate may be pursued but must be completed within 150% of the allotted time frame of the program requiring the most credit hours. For repeated courses, the hours deleted under the College's repeat/delete policy will not be counted.

Licensure exams, as described in the College's 2010-2011 GRAD Act Report:
Currently, licensure and certification exams are required for four programs at Nunez: Practical Nursing, Nursing Assistant, Emergency Medical Technology, and the Associate of Science in Teaching.
Graduates of the Practical Nursing program must sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Practical Nurses. Nunez receives information directly from the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners regarding its graduates' performance on the exam. We have just received notification that for the December 2010 graduating class, 94.74% (18 of 19) of the candidates passed the exam on the first attempt. The one student who did not pass will repeat the test shortly. The recent performance history for the program is as follows: for the July 2007 class, 16 of 16 (100%) passed the test on the first attempt; for December 2007, 10 of 10 (100%); for the July 2008 class, 17 of 17 (100%); for the December 2008 class, 18 of 18 (100%); for the July 2009 class, 26 of 27 (96.3%) and the other student successfully passed the retest; for the December 2009 class, 12 of 13 (92.3%), and the other student successfully passed the retest; for the July 2010, 22 of 23 (95.7%), and the other student successfully passed the retest.
Students in the CNA program must pass the final exam to complete the Technical Competency Area (TCA) and be eligible to be registered with the State of Louisiana as a Certified Nursing Assistant. The last five CNA classes (Summer 2009 through Fall 2010) have had a 100% passing rate on the final exam.
From June 2007 through November 2010, 23 of 47 EMT students have passed the Cognitive Exam at the Paramedic Level and are registered with the National Registry of EMT.

Bonterra's organic fruit from Mendocino offers the characteristic flavors of green apples, pears and citrus to their chardonnay. They ferment 70% of the juice in a combination of French and American oak, which is allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation to create a rich, creamy wine with just a touch of new oak spice. The remaining 30% is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the crisp fresh fruit favors. They age most of the wine using previously-used or neutral oak in order for these fresh fruit characteristics to shine through. New oak was used for just 16% of the wine to give this chardonnay a nice vanilla note.


This article will help you to set up a low-cost development environment for programming and testing the ATtiny 85 MCU. The same principles apply to any other member of the ATtiny family that can run free of any external components.
The above image shows the very basic hardware setup that is needed to develop and test on an ATtiny 85 MCU. The ISP programmer is hooked up using jumper wires to the top section of the ZIF socket leaving the bottom section free for wiring up your test circuit. When you want to program the MCU, insert it into the top of the socket and when you want to test it, insert it into the lower section of the socket. This procedure is simple and fast, allowing you to operate a rapid development cycle.
Click image to magnify it.
The ISP comes with a lead that has a female 10 pin socket on each end. Here's the pinout, referring to the above photograph.
For the actual wiring I use ordinary cheap jumpers inserted into the breadboard at one end and the female socket connectors at the other. I find that these grip well enough to be secure during use.
AVRDude has built-in support for this ISP but you need to tell your development environment to use it. If you use Eclipse then these are the steps that you need to take.
Go to Window->Preferences then select AVR->AVRDude from the options on the left of the form. Click the Add… button to create a new configuration. This is the one you need to choose from the form that lists all the possible AVRDude configurations.
Give it a suitable name and description and then click out of the Window->Preferences form.
All that remains now is for you to right click on your project, select Properties and then the AVR->AVRDude option. You can now choose the programmer configuration that you just created.
Of course your workflow is up to you but I thought I'd share mine here in case you'd like to follow it.

Should my tests be @Transactional?
Simple question. The simplest answer to that may be "It depends.".
But let's explore that aspect a little further and please keep in mind there is no absolute truth despite what pages upon pages of heated online discussions might suggest. In addition to that we also have some fully-working, juicy sample code for you to ogle over.
We're talking about @Transactional in a Spring based project context. Obviously the same holds pretty much true for your J2EE project.
So what does @Transactional mean if you annotate your test suite with it? Well it means that every test method in your suite is surrounded by an overarching Spring transaction. This transaction will be rolled back at the end of the test method regardless of it's outcome.
Some people conclude from this that you cannot be sure that your tests actually writes data do the database. But this is not true, what you are seeing instead is very likely the side effect of using an ORM.
Imagine this scenario: You open a transaction with plain JDBC, then issue a stmt.executeQuery(query) and later on rollback the transaction. Of course that query gets sent to the database. And if you insert some data, the db constraints will be checked and you will also be able to query for it (from the same session) until you rollback. Same holds true for tools like the fantastic JooQ.
...but what about my favourite JPA implementation, Hibernate?
Change of scenes: As a quick reminder, JPA, or say your favourite and beloved implementation of it, Hibernate, has the concept of a session. Just because you add a add/update an object in your session, does not mean it gets saved directly to the database. But why not? Because the session has the concept of a FlushMode. And very likely that flush mode is set to AUTO, so Hibernate can decide when to send queries to the database.
But you could of course also set it to ALWAYS and get pretty much the same database behaviour as using plain jdbc calls.
You usually do not notice the flush mode, because Spring's HibernateTransactionManager makes sure to do a session.flush() before committing every transaction - but the same is of course not happening come rollback time. This means that none/some/all (yep!) modifications that would have hit the database are being removed from the session and are not sent. Which makes your tests potentially fragile. Very fragile.
So, enough theory, what options do we have when it comes down to tests that hit the database?
If you want to don't fuzz around too much and just want to make sure your stuff really does get saved to the database, can be read, updated and deleted, then do not make your tests @transactional. This means that all your service layer/persistence layer methods invoked through the tests would start their own transactions (you made them transactional, did you?) and flush the changes upon commit. So you are guaranteed to notice if something blows up on flush.
But you are also guaranteed to have, after a while, a database full of junk test data. Often one can live with that and clean up that data once in a while or after every test-run. If an in-memory database like H2 is also an option, you could also reset/truncate your database after every method run (but parallelizing tests then somewhat gets tricky , but more on that in a different post).
See the below snippet for one approach to this pattern (and have a look at the complete sample code to see a fully working h2 in-memory database reset).
A different approach would be to keep the test suite transactional but just manually flush the changes to your database when needed. This is a little more verbose and dirty but in the end you combine the advantages of a transactional test suite with the confidence of knowing that nothing is blowing up further down the stream. It is valuable to note that simply flushing doesn't mean that we commit a transaction, so the rollback after the test method end is still doing it's job.
It is in brackets because it works, but of course makes your test code behaviour deviate from your production code behaviour. Use with caution!
Especially in the cases of integration tests where you just assume that your persistence layer is working (because you tested it before, right?) having your test suites transactional is nice. See below for an example where we are testing the higher service layer instead of the persistence layer and frankly we don't care about correctness of the persistence layer further down (apart from it not blowing up).
The complete test code can be founde here. Give it a try, it is fully functional!

Merlin specialises in health, saving lives in times of crisis and helping to rebuild shattered health services. Each year, Merlin helps more than 15 million people in up to 20 countries.
Merlin has been operational in DRC since 1997. Merlin teams have provided emergency medical care to the most vulnerable populations in Maniema, Kasai Oriental , North Kivu and Orientale Provinces. Activities have included emergency response, support to primary and secondary health care facilities (including supervision, supply of drugs, and the payment of incentives), reproductive health, institutional capacity building, immunisation campaigns, nutrition, WASH, and the rehabilitation of health facilities.
From 1 January 2012 Maniema and North Kivu will operate as autonomous programmes, each reporting direct to head office in London; they will be supported by country offices in Goma and Kinshasa.
In North Kivu Merlin currently works in Rutshuru/Binza, Kayna, and Birambizu health zones, providing essential health care services to DPs and host populations; and will provide the health component of the rapid response to movements of population (RRMP) mechanism throughout the province.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator (M&E) will integrate epidemiological monitoring activities from field health morbidity and mortality data (SNIS i.e National health information system) utilization data, drug consumption, reproductive health into a national database of Merlin health activities including emergency response, transition and development operations. The Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator will help to design a system to effectively monitor project outputs to assist in project management, and also identify and monitor quality indicators to determine the impact of projects on the livelihoods of the war affected populations in DRC as they move into transition and development. S/he will train and supervise field medical/program administrators, and oversee database monitoring by medical coordinators. The M&E Coordinator will work together with the Merlin Epidemiologist to strengthen the M&E department and to improve the quality of Merlin programs in North Kivu.

Holly-leaved cherries (Prunus ilicifolia), seen here in the process of ripening, are a wild grown food that can be foraged in the local mountains.
Holly-leaved cherries, called 'akhtayukhash in Barbareno Chumash, are fruiting right now. The fruit, which grows as a thin layer of flesh covering a hard marbled-sized seed pod, is edible right off the plant. The pulp is not much thicker than the skin and offers little more than a taste, but it is juicy and sweet tasting.
Though the pulp is edible, the kernel within the fruit pit was the most valued part of the plant for the Chumash Indians. The seed pods were cracked and the kernels collected, which could then when dried be stored for as long as necessary until they were needed.
The kernels, however, contain hydrocyanic acid and are poisonous. Before eating them they must be properly prepared to remove the poison, as well as their bitter taste. The preparation process involves leaching the poison from the kernels using fresh water.
After the kernels were leached of poison, they were cooked for several hours by boiling until they became soft, then mashed, rolled into balls and coated in pinole flour made from juniper or grass seeds. "The Chumash consultants," Timbrook notes, "all agreed that it was a good-tasting and prized food." The small cakes were eaten with roasted meat and were also a featured food in ceremonial events.

Timely post. We recently planted three Catalina Cherry saplings in our back yard. No fruit yet but one of these days.
The preparation of the cherry meal sounds very similar to the process used to leach the tannins out of acorns. Soak, boil, mash, then soak and boil some more and on and on through a couple of rounds before the meal was ready to be formed into cakes and baked.
Interesting stuff. I always wonder how many rounds of trial and error it took to figure out something could be edible if only its prepared right. Think they drew straws to see who would be the trial taster?
There is a larger fruiting variety that grows on the islands and, yeah, the prep process is pretty much the same as acorns.
Maybe the punishment for wayward Indians was to make them try out new foods and see if they lived or got the runs, heheh.
I wonder when, what date or time frame in history, all the food they were known to have eaten was known to be safe. In other words, what period of time was there an active investigatory stage where they were actually experimenting and eating new foods that they were not sure were safe and nutritious to eat.

1Budget airlines keep costs down by charging you for extra services.
Usually, online check-in is free of charge and we are used to do it ourselves. Yet, there are cases that might surprise us with an unexpected hidden fee.
Everyone who flies with Ryanair has to check in online. Everyone. But be careful! As of 13th June 2018, the check-in time has gone down to between 48 hours and 2 hours before departure, which means you can no longer check-in for free four days before your flight. If you don't check-in within this reduced time window, you'll be charged € 55 per person for the check-in at the airport!
However, Ryanair has thought of another add-on to make sure you avoid this inconvenience – by purchasing a seat reservation, which will cost you between € 4 and € 15, the check-in time is extended to up to 60 days before departure.
As well as having to check in online, you're also required to either print out your boarding pass or use the Ryanair app to check in. If you opt to print out your boarding pass and then forget it, you'll be forced to pay a € 15 boarding pass re-issue fee! And even if you have printed your boarding pass, you may still be fined if the printout is of bad quality, the page is damaged or if the part of the page is missing, including the advertisement.
easyJet's online check-in is quick and easy. You can do it via web or on the mobile app with your booking reference. easyJet allows you to check in between 30 days and 2 hours before your flight and you can download or print your boarding passes for all your flights. Although easyJet no longer has airport check-in desks, it's still possible to check in for free at the bag drop desks if you were not able to check in online.
Wizz Air also allows you to check in online for free. But again, when you are allowed to check in depends on your booking. If you have purchased a seat reservation during your booking (which costs from € 1 to € 50), the online check-in is available from 30 days up to 3 hours before the scheduled departure time. However, in case you have not purchased any seat reservations with your booking, the check-in will become available only 48 hours before departure. And if you missed it, your only option is to check in at the airport which will cost you € 30.
Set a reminder in your calendar for at least one day before your flight and make sure you check in online on time. It is also very useful to download the airline's mobile app, where you can store all your boarding passes, which make travel so much easier. It allows you to keep all your travel information in one place and eliminates the need to print them out.
3If you want to correct a spelling mistake or transfer the ticket over to someone else, you will probably pay an extra.
If you spell your name in any way other than how it appears on your passport, or if you want to transfer the ticket over to someone else, you will probably have to pay an extra.
Ryanair does not like spelling mistakes. You have a 24-hour grace period from the time of the original booking to correct your booking free of charge. After that, correcting the mistake in your name (for example from Chris to Christopher) will cost you € 115 (online) and € 160 (after booking/at the airport).
The same fee (€ 155) applies if you are changing the name to another passenger.
easyJet goes much easier on spelling mistakes. If you realize there's a mistake on your easyJet booking and you need to change it, you can do it online for free.
However, if you wish to transfer your booking to a different passenger, you can do so for a fee, but without paying any fare difference. This is also cheaper to do further in advance. If you change the name more than 60 days before the flight, you will pay € 20 online and € 25 via call center. However, if there are 60 days or less left to your departure date, the amount is much higher: € 47 online and € 52 via call center.
Wizz Air makes a step forward and goes into detail, in which case the misspelled names or typos can be corrected online free of charge if there are maximum 3 characters to be changed in the name added to your booking, if you need to extend the abbreviated name (e.g. Patrick S. Brown) to a full name (e. g. Patrick Samuel Brown) in order to match your travel document or if you need to change the gender (title) of the name added to your booking. Watch out, you can only make one free name change correction in your booking.
If your case does not match any of the outlined conditions, then you will be charged the standard name change fee of € 45.00.
Carefully check and double-(triple!)check everything you write in your booking. Extra cautiousness can really pay off.
4When events don't go according to our plans, we can expect some extra costs.
When events don't go according to our plans, we can expect some troubles (with some extra costs) along the way. If we need to change the dates, times, route or even cancel our flight, in one way or another we will lose some money.
Did you know that all Ryanair flights are changeable but they cannot be cancelled? You don't need to notify them if you are unable to travel and if you can't use your outbound flight, since you can still use your return flight. Flight dates/times/routes/names can be changed up to 2.5 hours before the flight departure time via My Bookings, unless you have already checked in, in which case you should contact their call centre.
If you do not travel on your booked flight, the air fare, fees and charges are non-refundable but you may apply in writing within one month of the date of travel for a refund of the Government Tax, which is subject to an administration fee of € 20. Therefore, if the refund amount is less than the applicable administration fee, there is no use in writing as there will be no refund.
If you wish to make changes to your flight arrangements, fees vary depending on the route and travel dates selected. Higher flight change fees apply to all flights on the following routes: International Canary Islands (excl Spanish domestic) and all international Greek routes. They are € 35–€ 65 (online) and € 50–€ 95 (post booking or at the airport).
easyJet enables you to cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking by paying a fee of € 35 (online) and € 40 (call center). They provide a full refund minus an administrative charge.
If you need to change your flight date, time or route, the earlier you make the change the cheaper it will be. There is also a difference if you make the changes in peak season or in off-peak season.
If you change your flight 60 days or less before travel, you will be charged € 54 (online), € 60 (call center).
If you change your flight 60 days or less before travel you will be charged € 37 (online), € 42 (call center).
If you cancel your reservation up to 14 days before the flight, you will pay a cancellation fee of € 60 and receive a refund. If the cancellation is done within 14 days before your flight, you will receive a full refund after paying the fee for other services and the Seat Protection Fee of € 80.00.
BUT! If you purchased a Plus Fare ticket, or have a reservation with WIZZ Flex, you can cancel your flight and request a refund of your purchase price, delivered as credit to your WIZZ Account, up to 3 hours before the departure time of your outbound flight. The amount refunded to your WIZZ Account will be available for 90 days to be used for purchasing Wizz Air flights and services.
Wizz Air allows you to change your flight date, time and route for a fee, and by paying applicable fare differences up to 3 hours before your scheduled flight departure time. If you change your flight more than 30 days before departure, you will be charged € 30 (online), 7-30 days before departure date will cost you € 35 (online), while within 7 days before departure date the fee will be € 40. You can request a flight change also via Wizz Air Call Center, but you will be charged a Call Center Transaction Fee of € 60.
Communicate the changes of your flight as soon as possible, since the fees increase with the approaching of the departure date. Keep in mind that with budget airlines, it is sometimes cheaper to book another flight than to change an existing booking.
5It is very important that you inform yourself prior departure about the airlines' luggage policies.
If you are traveling with budget airlines, you usually need to pay extra for your luggage. Prices may vary depending on: travel time, payment method, baggage weight, plane occupancy, etc. It is therefore very, very important that you inform yourself beforehand about their luggage policies.
Passengers are allowed to take on board a Ryanair plane only a small bag (40 x 20 x 25 cm), which must be stored under the front seat while you will have to pay extra for a trolley (55 x 40 x 20 cm). However, if you purchase a "Priority" ticket at a cost of € 6 when booking your flight or € 8 after booking, you will be allowed to take on board both baggages.
Ryanair also allows you to check in up to 3 bags of 20 kg (for a total of 60 kg). If the weight of the baggage exceeds the permitted weight, you pay a fee of € 11 / kg.
Passengers of easyJet, with a basic ticket, can carry only one piece of hand luggage on the plane. The weight is not limited, while the size cannot exceed 56 x 45 x 25 cm (including handles and wheels).
easyJet allows you to check in up to 3 bags of 23 kg, offering the possibility to pay for additional luggage, in units of 3 kg (13 € per unit) up to a maximum of 32 kg / pcs. The maximum size (length + width + height) of a single piece of baggage must not exceed 275 cm. But be careful! Eventhough the baggage weight is limited to 23 kg, you will pay less if your suitcase weighs less than 15 kg! The fee for baggage weighing up to 15 kg is from € 10 to € 37 online, while the fee for baggage up to 23 kg is from € 15 to € 42. If you decide to check in your baggage at the airport, you will pay more. At the check-in, the cost will be € 41 / piece and at the boarding gate € 52 / piece.
If the weight of the baggage exceeds the permitted weight (23 kg / piece), a supplement of 13 € / kg must be paid.
On board a Wizz Air flight it is possible to take one piece of hand luggage not exceeding 40 x 30 x 20 cm with a maximum weight of 10 kg. However, if you purchase WIZZ Priority (from € 5 to € 15 at booking or € 25 at the airport), you are also allowed also to take a trolley bag (55 x 40 x 23 cm).
Wizz Air has introduced a new type of checked-in bag with a weight allowance of 10 kg, besides the available 20 and 32 kg options. You can check in a maximum of 1 bag of 10 kg, 2 bags of 20 kg, or 3 bags of 32 kg. Other combinations of checked-in bags are not possible to purchase online, while fees vary according to season.
*Low season: period excluding high season.
Avoid unpleasant surprises and read the "Guide to budget airlines baggage fees". Consider the allowance and weigh your baggage at the airport.
6Food and drinks at the airport are typically much cheaper and of better quality than the food on airplanes.
We all know that although expensive compared to what you might find in your local supermarket, the food and drinks at the airport are typically much cheaper and of better quality than the food on airplanes.
Ryanair constantly advertises to its passenger that they can choose between a large selection of delicious snacks, choices of hot or cold beverages and a full range of beers, wines and spirits. Wondering about their prices? We checked a few items from their menu: Water (0.5l) - € 3, Pepsi (250 ml) - € 2.5, Toasted baguette with ham and cheese - € 5, Twix chocolate - € 2.50, Barilla bolognese (300 gr) – € 6.
All air food is expensive, and easyJet's offer is no exception: Water (0,5 ml) - € 2.50, Coffee - € 3, Organic tea - € 3, Heineken beer (0.33l) - € 6, Coca-Cola (0.33l) - € 2.50, Chicken wrap - € 6, Ham and cheese toast - € 6.
Wizz Air Café offers a selection of hot drinks, soft drinks, fresh sandwiches, snacks and alcoholic beverages: Coffee (or tea) - € 2, Pepsi (0.33l) - € 2, Water (0.5l) - € 2, Heineken (0.33l) - € 3, Large baguette chicken sandwich - € 5, Heinz soup - € 3.
Make sure you eat before arriving at the airport or at the airport. Buy a bottle of water as soon as you pass the security check, while food can normally be brought through passport control, but check the restrictions.
7It happens that airlines charge a flat fee or percentage of the ticket cost for the use of a credit card for purchase.
Yes, it happens that airlines charge a flat fee or percentage of the ticket cost for the use of a credit card for purchase.
*% of the total transaction value.
easyJet doesn't charge you if you pay by one of the accepted credit cards, which are: Visa (credit card), MasterCard (credit card), Diners Club, Discover, American Express, and UATP/Airplus. They won't charge you either for paying by debit card: Carte Bancaire, Visa Electron, SEPA Direct Debit, Visa Debit, Debit MasterCard or Maestro.
Wizz Air is very flexible when it comes to selecting a payment option. You can pay in a number of different ways: credit and debit cards (Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro and UATP), bank transfer, WIZZ Account, WIZZ gift voucher, iDeal payment (only available to customers with a Dutch bank account), cash at the airport sales desk or through travel agents. No additional fees apply.
Before booking your flight, check the payment options and look for a suitable option that doesn't charge any additional fee.
* Fees apply per passenger, per flight. We allow the possibility of unintentional errors.

Love, Dmitri

When the glorious dancers of San Francisco Ballet, the pride of our city, ended their season at the Opera House with a brilliant run of "Shostakovich Trilogy," a three-act abstract ballet by the former director of the Bolshoi Ballet, Alexei Ratmansky, they presented a political spectacle of almost imponderable depth. The piece would repay attention if you'd seen every show in the run, which ended on Mother's Day. It's worth remembering it was Nureyev's mother whom the Soviets threatened when they wanted to torment the great defector who "leaped to freedom" in 1961 and first made celebrities out of ballet dancers in this country. Nureyev was as big as Mick Jagger, and he is still news: the Nureyev bio-pic "White Crow," directed by Ralph Fiennes, has just come out, and a ballet about Nureyev choreographed by SFB's own Yuri Possokhov made headlines in Moscow this year amidst huge controversy.

No question, "Shostakovitch Trilogy" is a work of monumental importance. It's a very strange work, a black comedy in the two outer movements, and a poignant dance of infinite sadness in the central movement. There would not be room to plumb the burden of meaning here, even if there were not a rough mix of American and Russian idioms: Soviet ballet was the official idiom, Bolshoi rhetoric is bombastic and huge, and for Ratmansky to try to compose like Balanchine or Robbins in an idiom that belongs to the democratic American world cannot be expected.
The whole evening is a dark comedy, three symphonic works by the superstar Soviet composer set as pure-dance ballets on the model of Balanchine's "Jewels," with the most poignant one, "Chamber Symphony," in the center, following sonata form.
So the evening shapes up as a brilliant black comedy that reflects Soviet life. If you were going to live, this was what you faced. The opening "Symphony #9" features the smiler with a knife beneath his cloak (Esteban Hernandez) and the opaque cheer of a secretary who's betraying you to the party bosses (Sasha de Sola), who enters on a bright note and immediately starts to pogo on pointe, brilliantly, and somehow it seems like this is the thing to do. Everyone looks fabulous, since this is a ballet, in black velvet tights with gleaming metallic belts, with stunning moves and sleek segues, and moments of private misery when the protagonists (Mathilde Froustey, Luke Ingham) don't know whom they can trust and sneak sideways offstage when they get the chance. The ray of hope is embodied as an insight into whom you can trust, danced to the hilt by Hansuke Yamamoto. You just have to accept it, he's like the Lone Ranger.
Choreographer Ratmansky admits that he had to get his family out. He doesn't say much to reporters, but when you remember that his successor Sergei Filin had acid thrown in his face, that both of them supported free expression in the arts, and used the ballets they commissioned to expose the crimes of Stalin, you'll realize that this is not a shallow commitment.
The epicenter of the evening, Shostakovitch himself, is Aaron Robison, a beautiful dancer barechested in a dinner jacket, with a wingspan extending from the breastbone to reveal greatness of heart: the pecs, the shoulders and arms of this dancer are the pre-requisite for opening the power of his courage and the depths of his misery. The music is an expansion of the String Quartet #8, which many think was a kind of suicide note. He finds happiness with the three women in his life (danced by Jahna Frantziskonis, Dores Andre, and Jennifer Stahl), each poignant in their way, but often he collapses with his hands wrapped round his head. At the end he's on the floor while the corps de ballet strike a pose of exaltation that embodies the hopes and aspirations of his imagination, the only monument he can leave behind.
The finale is a brilliant comedy set to Shostakovitch's early Piano Concerto #1 with trumpet. Ratmansky's deployment of the corps is most powerful as they mass like statues in a public park, or pile up into images that suggest anti-missile gear mounted on tanks parading on May Day. There is a beautiful double pas de deux, very poignant, to the almost-Elgar-like enriched melancholy harmonies of the adagio. The principals in the double pas de deux were Yuan Yuan Tan, dancing with Tiit Helimets, and Isabella deVivo with Vitor Luiz.
It's hard to read the tone of the finale, when the male and female roles are reversed: women supporting men. The very last image has the guys caught in beautiful attitudes, held in place by the ladies in the red leotards. I've chosen to think it's hopeful.

Q: Round string before converting to numeric type I have a number (just an example:
"3616,946489653802082229919075063226"

stored in a string. I want to convert it into decimal but get an OverflowException because the value is too long for decimal.
I want to round the string before converting it to fix the error.
How do I do this?

A: Parsing is culture specific. So , can be either decimal or thousand separator. If , is a thousand separator, it will be ignored:
"3616,946489653802082229919075063226" -> 3616946489653802082229919075063226m

And this value is over decimal.MaxValue so you have the exception thrown.
If , should be treated as a decimal separator, let system know it:
decimal result = decimal.Parse(source,
  new NumberFormatInfo() { NumberDecimalSeparator = ","});

And you'll get 3616.9464896538020822299190751m

A: Your problem is not actually a rounding issue, it is trying to parse a decimal with a comma on a system which expects a dot as a decimal separator by default.
You could try this to make sure it is parsed well on all environments:
using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var input = "3616,946489653802082229919075063226";
        var result = decimal.Parse(input, new NumberFormatInfo() { NumberDecimalSeparator = ","});
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }
}

https://dotnetfiddle.net/8iaL9d

A: Given an arbitrary number of decimal places in a format with a comma separating the units from the fractional part, you could solve it by doing the following:
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var decimalPlacesCount = 10;
        var decimalSeparator = ',';
        var parts = "3616,946489653802082229919075063226".Split(decimalSeparator);
        var value = decimal.Parse(parts[0]);
        if (parts.Length == 2)
        {
            value += decimal.Parse($"0.{parts[1].Substring(0, decimalPlacesCount)}");
        }
        Console.WriteLine(value);
    }
}

This effectively rounds it to decimalPlacesCount.

A: While this wasn't your problem if anyone happens to stumble across this well-named question looking for a method that will actually round a string hopefully, the following will be helpful.
    public static string RoundString(string value, int decimalPlaces)
    {
        StringBuilder returnValue = new StringBuilder(value);

        int startIndex = 0;

        int charIndex = 0;
        while (charIndex < value.Length && startIndex == 0)
        {
            if (value[charIndex].ToString() == ".")
                startIndex = charIndex + 1;

            charIndex++;
        }

        if (int.Parse(value[charIndex + decimalPlaces + 1].ToString()) >= 5)
        {
            bool rounded = false;
            for (charIndex = startIndex + decimalPlaces; charIndex > -1; charIndex--)
            {
                if (!rounded && charIndex != startIndex-1)
                {
                    int newVal = int.Parse(returnValue[charIndex].ToString()) + 1;
                    if (newVal > 9)
                    {
                        returnValue[charIndex] = '0';
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        returnValue[charIndex] = (int.Parse(returnValue[charIndex].ToString()) + 1).ToString()[0];
                        rounded = true;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (!rounded)
            {
                startIndex++;
                returnValue = new StringBuilder("1" + returnValue.ToString());
            }
        }

        return returnValue.ToString().Substring(0, startIndex + decimalPlaces);
    }

It's pretty poorly written and I'm sure someone could do better, but it does the job. The StringBuilder is pretty shoddy for example and it can likely be made to run quicker.
Also, I do 0 validation on the actual input string.

Lighting control systems often feature as part of a wider smart home system: multiroom audio, multiroom video, heating control, security systems and access control. These systems are invariably networked these days and all the various sub-systems can be presented to the homeowner via a single interface. These can be presented via a dedicated touchpanel, remote control, maybe a TV interface and of course via iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets.
The sub-systems don't have to talk directly to each other to be presented in a single interface. Smart home systems like AMX, Control4, Crestron, Savant have their own central processors which issue commands, monitor status and manage the graphical user interfaces. A typical and rather overused example is that of the "Watch movie" button on the remote that might turn on the TV or projector, bring up a screen of films stored on the central movie server or your favourite streaming service and slowly dim the lights. Another more practical example might be the "Leaving" button on a panel by the front door that turns off all the lights, sets the lighting into "Holiday" playback mode and sets the alarm system.

For those who don't know Thierry Noir, he's a French artist who moved to Berlin back in the '80s and essentially pioneered the street art scene in Europe. One of the few artists to have painted on both sides of the Berlin Wall and supposedly also the first, Noir recently took his multicolored murals to London.
Just a few days ago, the artist painted his signature characters on a garage door in Shoreditch. On the front of the doors, Noir has painted three of his wide-eyed caricatures' profiles, but on the back, similar characters are seen clutching flowers. Vibrant, simplistic, fun, and almost Picasso-like, the artist's murals add a pop of color and break up the monotony of the Shoreditch street. It's hard to believe that Noir has never had a solo exhibition in his life. Soon, however, Howard Griffin Gallery will present his first ever gallery show. In the mean time, check out Noir's latest piece.

Brunswick County has the largest percentage of population growth of any county in the state. Since 2010, U.S. Census Bureau data shows a 21.8% increase in the number of residents. From 2016 to 2017, the county added over 4,500 residents, a rise of approximately 3.6%.
In recent years, there have been significant injuries caused by collapsing decks. The majority of these incidents have occurred at vacation rental properties that were built more than a decade earlier. Years of exposure to high humidity, salt in the air, and failures in inspection and maintenance have contributed to these accidents. Owners of a property have a duty to keep conditions reasonably safe for those lawfully visiting. Failure to do so makes them liable for any injuries and losses resulting from these unsafe conditions.

When your letter to the editor is rejected or ignored
Dear Dr. El-Dalati,
I am sorry that we will not be able to publish your recent letter to the editor regarding the Chowdhury article of 16-Sep-2021. The space available for correspondence is very limited, and we must use our judgment to present a representative selection of the material received. Many worthwhile communications must be declined for lack of space.
The response from The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) seemed simple and straightforward enough on the surface. But on closer inspection, it highlighted a disturbing feature of medical publications: journals can publish virtually anything they like through an ambiguous peer review process with no governing body that will review the quality of the research or the validity of the claims. The only recourse that most individuals have when they identify a serious flaw in a published article is to send a letter to the editor, the very editor who published a potentially misleading manuscript.
The article highlighted above, entitled "Oral Versus Intravenous Antibiotics for Endocarditis," was published in September of 2021 and portrayed itself as a point-counterpoint discussing treatment of endocarditis in patients with substance use disorder. One author penned a piece in favor of intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy only, and the other outlined an argument for the use of partial oral antibiotic treatment. However, both authors notably excluded pertinent literature and demonstrated a general lack of concern for the patient's experience. The pro-IV author emphasized keeping the patient in the hospital and did not consider alternative methods of delivering intravenous treatment despite the literature supporting that persons who inject drugs (PWIDs) can successfully complete IV therapy as outpatients at home or at medical respite facilities. There was no acknowledgment of how the health care system discriminates against PWIDs, including refusing admission to nursing facilities for the receipt of antibiotics. While the author explored the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the care of endocarditis, there was no discussion as to whether the patient had access to a multidisciplinary endocarditis team. There was also no discussion as to why the patient wanted to leave the hospital. An exploration of this could have led to a safe medical solution. While the rebuttal touched peripherally on these issues, it focused primarily on the medical merit of oral versus IV antibiotics rather than addressing how stigma from the health care system affected how the patient was treated. Ultimately both opinions placed provider perspectives ahead of the patient's without full consideration of available evidence. I outlined all of these concerns in my letter, which conformed to the very specific standards required by NEJM, and received the response at the top of this piece.
Fast forward one year to September 2022, when the American Heart Association (AHA) released a scientific statement in its journal Circulation entitled "Management of Infective Endocarditis in People Who Inject Drugs." The document notably addresses the role of partial oral antibiotic therapy for patients with Staphylococcal aureus endocarditis. More specifically, the authors include a recommendation for using Linezolid and Rifampin to treat methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) endocarditis and attribute this particular regimen to the POET trial published by Iversen et al. in 2018. However, no cases of MRSA endocarditis were included in that trial. Iversen et al. did include patients with endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCoNS), and Linezolid and Rifampin were among the antibiotics utilized for the treatment of these cases. There is little evidence to support whether the use of this regimen for the treatment of endocarditis caused by MRCoNS can be extrapolated to the treatment of MRSA endocarditis. Furthermore, although the POET trial included 201 patients in the oral therapy arm, only four patients with CoNS endocarditis were treated with the Linezolid and Rifampin regimen. In summary, the recent scientific statement erroneously cited the POET trial and advocated for the use of an antibiotic combination to treat MRSA endocarditis that has actually only been studied in 4 patients with CoNS endocarditis.
Additionally, while recent literature has demonstrated that Staphylococcus aureus may comprise upwards of 75 percent of cases of injection drug use-related endocarditis (IDU-IE), other studies have suggested that streptococci and enterococci may be seen in ~40 percent of patients with IDU-IE. Notably, only 21.8 percent of patients studied in POET had Staphylococcus aureus as the etiologic pathogen. In contrast, 73.3 percent of patients in POET had endocarditis caused by either streptococci or enterococci. However, the scientific statement makes no comment about the role of partial oral antibiotic treatment for these pathogens despite the larger studied sample size.
Again, I wrote a letter to the AHA's editor and the statement's lead authors. This time instead of a polite declination to publish, I heard nothing. In both instances, these major medical publications chose to ignore well-founded criticism of their work. In the first case, NEJM continued to promote the biases that PWIDs suffer at the hands of the health care system. In the second, the AHA mis-cited existing literature and consequently provided erroneous recommendations. Both NEJM and Circulation are among the most widely read medical journals in the world, and their articles have the potential to impact the clinical decision-making of a large number of providers. As an infectious disease physician who primarily cares for patients with substance use disorder and endocarditis, I witness the negative impact of poor-quality literature and guidelines that misquote existing evidence on a daily basis. To be clear, I am a proponent of oral antibiotic therapy for all patients with endocarditis and have published articles to that effect. However, without an opportunity for appropriate discourse, these journals make it harder for providers actually caring for patients to provide high-quality patient-centered care.
Perhaps we can start an evidence-based discourse outside the walls of these powerful institutions in order to change the conversations being had about patient care and, most importantly, get the right information into the hands of medical providers.

What Really Happened - OVER 1,200 MINNESOTA PARENTS ARE SUING TO SHUT DOWN CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES
OVER 1,200 MINNESOTA PARENTS ARE SUING TO SHUT DOWN CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES
By: Carey Wedler June 10, 2018
A group of parents in Minnesota called Stop CPS From Legally Kidnapping Children has filed a request in federal court t"shut down the state's child protection services, stop serial abuse of families and overturn the unconstitutional laws by which the agency operates," according to a press release published Tuesday.
The group, led by Dwight Mitchell, a father who says his son was illegally taken from him for 22 months, first filed a civil rights complaint in April, and this week they vocally publicized their call to shut down the child services agency, which they claim engages in systemic lying, withholding information, and fabricating evidence. They are asking the federal court to suspend the state's agency from enforcing child protection laws, and according to a petition signed by almost 5,000 people, are also demanding changes to the laws themselves.
Back in April, Mitchell said: "Someone reported I spanked my child on his bottom. I was put in jail. My three children were taken away from me,"citing other states that have enacted laws to protect a parent's "ordinary corporal punishment" rights. Though the practice of spanking is increasingly recognized as harmful to children's well-being, it is highly questionable as to whether confiscating kids and placing them in foster homes is any better for their mental and emotional health.
Minnesota is not the only state where CPS officers are absolutely both completely out of control, to make sure their quotas get met, and their budgets get enhanced, but there is also a huge amount of abuse and neglect that they do not find, leaving vulnerable children with ghastly consequences, including massive injuries and deaths.

There are many different reasons to select for gender. One of the more popular reasons is for the purpose of "family balancing" some parents want a boy and a girl. It is also helpful to at-risk couples who are trying to avoid passing on specific gender-linked disorders. Utilizing modern PGS techniques we are able to determine the gender and selectively implant embryos based on the clients wishes.

The Grand Rapids Griffins are Western Conference champions after a 4-2 win over San Jose at Van Andel Arena on Saturday night.
The Griffins defeated the Pacific Division winning Barracuda four games to one to advance to the Calder Cup Finals for the second time in franchise history.
Brian Lashoff, one of three players remaining from Grand Rapids' 2013 championship team, scored 24 seconds into Game 5 and the Griffins never looked back, rolling to their 11th win in 13 postseason games and improving to 7-0 on home ice during these playoffs.
Matthew Ford gave Grand Rapids a 2-0 lead before the first intermission and Matt Lorito scored twice to snuff out hopes of a San Jose comeback.
Jared Coreau (11-2) stopped 39 of 41 Barracuda shots on the night, allowing two goals or fewer for the ninth time in 13 playoff starts.
Timo Meier and Daniel O'Regan scored for San Jose, which did not lose three consecutive games in regulation all season before the last three games of this series.
Troy Grosenick made 22 saves.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas poked fun at Nick Jonas as part of the "Jonas Brothers Family Roast" special.
The star said she "wouldn't want to be married to anyone else" besides Jonas, with one exception.
Chopra Jonas joked that if Chris Hemsworth "suddenly became single," that "might change things."
Over 3 million people read Morning Brew; you should too
Priyanka Chopra Jonas didn't hold back from joking about her relationship with Nick Jonas in the "Jonas Brothers Family Roast" comedy special released on Netflix Tuesday.
"Seriously though, I do want to talk about how much I love my husband and what I love about him," Chopra Jonas said after taking a few jabs at Jonas as part of the roast. "One of the things I love about my husband is how much we have in common. For instance, we're both totally, completely, wholly obsessed — and I mean obsessed — with Nick Jonas. We love Nick Jonas, both of us. He's our favorite."
She continued to poke fun at her husband, saying: "I wouldn't want to be married to anyone else, guys. I'm serious. Unless, of course, Chris Hemsworth suddenly became single — might change things."
Chopra Jonas' comment about the Marvel star, who's been married to the actor Elsa Pataky since 2010 and has three children with her, elicited a laugh from Jonas.

Chopra Jonas and Jonas started talking when the musician slid into her Twitter direct messages in fall 2015, saying, "Several people have told me we should meet."
In her memoir released earlier this year, Chopra Jonas said she Googled the Disney Channel alum after receiving the message.
She and Jonas messaged each other for months but didn't meet in person until 2017 at Vanity Fair's Oscars after-party. A few months later, they attended the Met Gala together wearing outfits from Ralph Lauren — but still weren't a couple at that point.
They reconnected at the Met Gala in May 2018 and began going on dates that month. Within a few of those hangouts, Jonas said he knew that he wanted to marry the "Quantico" star.
Jonas proposed in July of that year, and the couple got married in late 2018 at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur, in India during two extravagant ceremonies.
In the comedy special, the "Quantico" star spoke about their 10-year age difference and roasted Jonas.

"There are many '90s pop-culture references that he doesn't understand, and I have to explain them to him, which is fine because we teach each other," Chopra Jonas said. "We teach each other things. He showed me how to use TikTok, for example. And I showed him what a successful acting career looks like."
The actor also made a joke about babysitting Jonas because of his age and weighed in on people calling their relationship a "publicity stunt" when they got married.
"How could it be? I didn't even know how famous Nick was. All I knew was that he was Kevin Jonas' baby brother," Chopra Jonas said.
