These examples assume you have [installed Singularity](install.md).

The services deployed will be a [build](https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service) of a sample Dropwizard service. It has two enpoints `/hello` and `/environment`.

*For this walkthrough we will assume you are using the [docker-compose example cluster](../getting-started/try-it-out.md) and that Singularity is running at `http://localhost:7099/singularity`. For your own case you can replace `localhost` with whatever host Singularity is running on in your setup. (e.g. if using `boot2docker` you would use the vm's ip of 192.168.59.103)*

## Creating A Request

All deployments belong to [requests](../about/requests-and-deploys.md). Before you can deploy you need to create a request. A request represents your service or scheduled job.

Create a new request on the new request page ([`/singularity/requests/new`](http://localhost:7099/singularity/requests/new)) in the ui, and set the following:

- ID: singularity-test-service
- Owners: Your email address
- Type: Service

You can also create the request using a JSON HTTP POST:

```json
{
    "id": "singularity-test-service",
    "owners": [
        "you@example.com"
    ],
    "requestType": "SERVICE",
    "rackSensitive": false,
    "loadBalanced": false
}
```

You can POST this JSON (saved in request.json) using curl:

```sh
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d@request.json \
http://localhost:7099/singularity/api/requests
```

## Basic Service Using the Mesos Executor

In order to deploy using the default Mesos executor you will need to push the deployment artifacts to an accessible location. In this example they are available in a GitHub [release](https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/tag/1.0).

To deploy using the web UI:

- Deploy ID: 1
- Command to execute: ```java -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml```
- Artifacts:
    - ```https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar```
    - ```https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml```
- CPUs: 0.1 (in the default docker setup there is only one CPU resource in the agent, to test multiple deployments and scaling we'll use less CPU resources.)

The equivalent JSON which can be used instead of the web UI:

```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-service",
        "id": "1",
        "command": "java -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml",
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 2
        },
        "uris": [
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml"
        ]
    }
}
```

You can POST this JSON (saved in deploy.json) using curl:

```sh
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d@deploy.json \
http://localhost:7099/singularity/api/deploys
```

When the task launches nothing may be visible in the Singularity UI at first, this is due to the Mesos executor fetching the artifacts first.

Once the task is running you can go to [http://localhost:7099/singularity/requests/singularity-test-service](http://localhost:7099/singularity/requests/singularity-test-service) to see the currently running tasks and status of the request.

### Limitations

- Since this container is bound to the ports 8080 and 8081 on the host machine you can't scale it up to more than one per machine. Depending on your setup, you may already see port in use errors when starting the app, as those ports are commonly used by other processes.

## Basic Service Using Dynamically Allocated Ports

Singularity can allocate ports to the service, this allows multiple services to run on the same machine, even when they would ordinarily have port clashes.

When allocating ports Singularity will set PORT0...N environment variables you can use to map your service's ports.

The Dropwizard example exposes a healthcheck on ```http://(host):8081/healthcheck```. This can be used by Singularity to determine the healthiness of the service on deploys or when a new task is launched.

The health check by default uses the first port on the container, so we'll need to map it before the application port.

In this example we'll be using ```java -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=$PORT1 -Ddw.server.adminConnectors[0].port=$PORT0  ...``` to map the ports, the Singularity health check uses the first available port so we'll assign admin to port 0 to ensure /healthcheck works.

Make another deploy request:

- Deploy ID: 2
- Command to execute: ```java -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=$PORT1 -Ddw.server.adminConnectors[0].port=$PORT0 -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml```
- Artifacts:
    - ```https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar```
    - ```https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml```
- CPUs: 0.1
- Num. ports: 2
- Healthcheck URI: /healthcheck

Or post the following JSON:
```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-service",
        "id": "2",
        "command": "java -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=$PORT1 -Ddw.server.adminConnectors[0].port=$PORT0 -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml",
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 2
        },
        "uris": [
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml"
        ],
        "healthcheck": {
          "uri": "/healthcheck"
        }
    }
}
```

You can navigate to the running task in the UI and get the two ports. You can then access the service on those ports (for example my service got allocated 31428,31429, so I could then use ```curl http://localhost:31429/``` to fetch the hello world JSON).

## Basic Load Balanced Service with Allocated Ports

If Singularity is [configured with a load balancer api](../development/load-balancer-integration.md) like [Baragon](https://github.com/HubSpot/Baragon), you can also have Singularity keep your load balancer up to date. When a task is started and healthy, Singularity will notify the load balacner api of the new service and the port that it is running on.

Because our previous request is already running, you cannot update our non-load-balanced service to be load balanced. Instead, create a new request for a load balanced version of our service. This can be done by POSTing json to the request endpoint similar to the following (note the `"loadBalanced": true`).

```json
{
    "id": "singularity-test-load-balanced-service",
    "owners": [
        "you@example.com"
    ],
    "requestType": "SERVICE",
    "rackSensitive": false,
    "loadBalanced": true
}
```

You can POST this JSON (saved in request.json) using curl:

```sh
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d@request.json \
http://localhost:7099/singularity/api/requests
```

We will need to add some information for the load balancer api to our JSON:

```
"serviceBasePath":"/",
"loadBalancerGroups":["test"]
```

This allows Singularity to tell the load balancer api what groups/clusters the service should be available on, and what path on that cluster belongs to this service.

Make another deploy request by posting the following JSON:
```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-load-balanced-service",
        "id": "3",
        "command": "java -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=$PORT1 -Ddw.server.adminConnectors[0].port=$PORT0 -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml",
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 2
        },
        "uris": [
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
            "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml"
        ],
        "skipHealthchecksOnDeploy": false,
        "healthcheck": {
          "uri": "/healthcheck"
        },
        "serviceBasePath":"/",
        "loadBalancerGroups":["test"]
    }
}
```

After the task becomes healthy you will also be able to see that the service was successfully [registered with the load balancer api](http://localhost:8080/baragon/v2/ui/services).

## Scaling Up

Scaling up is easy, navigate to your [request](http://localhost:7099/singularity/request/singularity-test-service) and click the "Scale" button. Type in a new value (e.g. 3) and wait for the new tasks to run. Since the ports are managed by Singularity you don't have to worry about them clashing.

Side note: You'll notice that each running task returns different ids in the hello world response. This is due to each being an independent process, with separate counters.

## Docker Service with Host Networking

An alternative approach to running in the Mesos executor (or the Singularity executor) is to use [Docker](https://docker.com).

There is a [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/hubspot/singularity-test-service/) built of the example service which can be used for deployments.

Since we are using host networking the Docker container will bind to the host ports 8080 and 8081 again, so we will need to first scale down the current instances.

To scale down go to your [request](http://localhost:7099/singularity/request/singularity-test-service) and click the "Scale" button again. Enter in 1 to reduce the number of running tasks. You should see two of the tasks move into "Task Cleaning" states.

To deploy this image create another deployment, but use Docker instead of default:

- ID: 3
- Executor Type: Docker
- Docker Image: hubspot/singularity-test-service:1.0
- CPUs: 0.1

The equivalent JSON:

```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-service",
        "id": "3",
        "containerInfo": {
            "type": "DOCKER",
            "docker": {
                "network": "HOST",
                "image": "hubspot/singularity-test-service:1.0"
            }
        },
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 0
        }
    }
}
```

This will pull down the Docker image from the Docker registry and start the container. The ports will be bound to the Mesos agent host, so the service will be available again at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/). The command to run is already set in the docker image, so in this case it is not set in the deploy. Any command set in the deploy json will override the command for the docker container (i.e CMD in Dockerfile)

## Docker Service with Bridge Networking and Dynamically Allocated Ports

Instead of binding to the host network Docker can set up a bridge network and bind the container's ports to the external ports. The container doesn't have to know what the external ports are (or if they are bound at all), so you don't have to pass this configuration into the container.

You could specify port mappings in the Singularity UI or POST JSON like the following:

```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-service",
        "id": "4",
        "containerInfo": {
            "type": "DOCKER",
            "docker": {
                "network": "BRIDGE",
                "image": "hubspot/singularity-test-service:1.0",
                "portMappings": [
                    {
                        "containerPortType": "LITERAL",
                        "containerPort": 8081,
                        "hostPortType": "FROM_OFFER",
                        "hostPort": 0,
                        "protocol": "tcp"
                    },
                    {
                        "containerPortType": "LITERAL",
                        "containerPort": 8080,
                        "hostPortType": "FROM_OFFER",
                        "hostPort": 1,
                        "protocol": "tcp"
                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 2
        },
        "healthcheck": {
          "uri": "/healthcheck"
        }
    }
}
```

Post this using curl:

```sh
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d@deploy.json  http://localhost:7099/singularity/api/deploys
```

The `FROM_OFFER` specification and `hostPort` of `0` lets Singularity know to use the dynamically allocated port with index `0` (i.e. the first port) as the `hostPort`.

You can go back to the [request](http://localhost:7099/singularity/request/singularity-test-service) and watch the task starting.

You can also scale it up in a similar manner, this time you should notice the new tasks starting much faster. This is because the Docker layers are already on the machine, so the Docker pull should be nearly instant.

## Load Balanced Service Using The SingularityExecutor

As we saw above we can add the `loadBalancerGroups` and `serviceBasePath` fields to our deploy and have our service be load balanced.

Now, we also want to add in the SingularityExecutor, Singularity's custom executor. We can use the SingularityExecutor by adding a `customExecutorCmd` (where to find the executor code) and `executorData` (data to pass to our custom executor) in the deploy JSON:

```json
{
    "deploy": {
        "requestId": "singularity-test-load-balanced-service",
        "id": "4",
        "resources": {
            "cpus": 0.1,
            "memoryMb": 128,
            "numPorts": 2
        },
        "healthcheck": {
          "uri": "/healthcheck"
        },
        "serviceBasePath":"/",
        "loadBalancerGroups":["test"],
        "customExecutorCmd": "/usr/local/bin/singularity-executor",
        "executorData": {
            "cmd":"java -Ddw.server.applicationConnectors[0].port=$PORT1 -Ddw.server.adminConnectors[0].port=$PORT0 -jar singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar server example.yml",
            "embeddedArtifacts":[],
            "externalArtifacts": [
                {
                    "name": "singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
                    "filename": "singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
                    "url": "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/singularitytest-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
                },
                {
                    "name": "example.yml",
                    "filename": "example.yml",
                    "url": "https://github.com/HubSpot/singularity-test-service/releases/download/1.0/example.yml"
                }
            ],
            "s3Artifacts": [],
            "successfulExitCodes": [0],
            "user": "root",
            "extraCmdLineArgs": [],
            "loggingExtraFields": {},
            "maxTaskThreads": 2048
        }
    }
}
```

`POST`ing this to Singularity we now have a docker container with mapped ports connected to a load balancer and running via the SingularityExecutor.

Note that the SingularityExecutor [also has docker support](../reference/container-options.md) (separate form the mesos docker containerizer). By specifying a `containerInfo` section, the SingularityExecutor will manage the lifecycle of your container.

Q: How to fix this error : NotReadableError: Could not start video source I am trying to implement video recording but getting this error. i have 2 buttons called Front Camera ,Back Camera. On click i am calling below method. first it displays the camera correctly but while switching camera it gives me the error. Please help how to fix the problem ?
function StartVideoCamera(obj) {
    var id = $(obj).attr('id');
    var camNode = $(obj).attr('cammode');
    if (camNode != 'user') {
        camNode = eval('{ exact: "environment" }')
    }
    var video = document.querySelector('#video' + id);
    var constraints = { audio: true, video: { width: videoHeight, height: videoWidth, facingMode: camNode
    } };
    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints)
    .then(function (mediaStream) {
        window.stream = null;
        video.srcObject = null;
        recordButton.disabled = false;
        window.stream = mediaStream;
        video.srcObject = mediaStream;
        video.onloadedmetadata = function (e) {
            video.play();
        };
    })
    .catch(function (err) {
         alert(err.name + ": " + err.message)
         console.log(err.name + ": " + err.message);
     });
}

A: You need to stop the previous mediaStreamObj before calling getUserMedia again.
This happens when your other(front/back) is already in use. You need to release the camera first.
stream.getTracks()
.forEach(track => track.stop());

Here stream is what you got from getUserMedia
This stops all the devices (you can check that the camera light goes off on the desktop) and (on mobile devices).

There once was a family farm out between Kevil and Gage where memories were sown and work ethics cultivated. Oakley and Bill Bondurant raised their sons on that piece of land and in turn their sons raised families on the farm.
The Bondurant family was not afraid of hard work the likes of which most people these days have never experienced. They had a dairy operation and since dairy cows never take a day off neither do dairy farmers. They raised both burley and dark fired tobacco. Then there was the 15-acre strawberry patch to tend; and row crops to plant and cultivate and harvest; and chickens and turkeys and goats to see after.
It's exhausting to think of all the work the operation entailed. It would seem entirely reasonable and logical for anyone who grew up working this labor intensive agrarian operation to want to move as far away as fast as possible and never look back but that was not the case with Diane Shrewsberry.
"I wanted to keep the family farm alive," said Diane.
Diane chose a unique method of perpetuating the farm.
Before the farm acreage was sold, Diane and her family cut a dead walnut tree that had grown on the edge of the yard ever since her grandmother, Oakley, planted it years before. The lumber was milled, stickered, stored for several years, then hauled to a kiln to dry. After these steps, it was ready to be taken to an Amish cabinetmaker in Marion, KY where it was transformed into handsome, one-of-a-kind cabinetry.
The attractive walnut cabinets were installed in the new home Diane and her husband, Steve, built on Lutes Road. The cabinetwork anchors the kitchen and spacious living area like the old walnut tree anchored the east end of the yard of the Bondurant home place. From her back porch, the walnut tree was within view as Oakley Bondurant and whatever kin was enlisted to help, hulled butter beans and snapped green beans in preparation for feeding family and hired hands. Not a lavish cook and leaning towards utilitarian, stick-to-your-ribs, home cooking; Oakley never worked in the fields but could always be counted on to serve a pot of beans that had been simmering all morning long with a pone of cornbread.
The rich, chocolaty brown cabinets emanate warmth much like the memories Diane recalls from growing up on the farm. She reminiscences about sitting on the front porch with her grandfather, Bill, watching the sunset light up a big western Kentucky sky while her grandmother fixed a bite of supper. Rubbing your hands across the smooth, hand-rubbed finish of the exquisite woodwork, you can almost feel the vibration of the crickets chirping and the lonely call of a whip-poor-will on a humid summer evening.
Bringing a piece of the farm into the new home also keeps memories alive of taking trips to the train station to await the yearly arrival of a hobo, named Shorty. "We never knew exactly when Shorty would come into the train station at Kevil but for years we made the trip into town everyday for about a week until he showed up ready to work around the farm another season," reminisced Diane.
The trek was made until Shorty would climb out from under the train with his bindle. Shorty didn't mind traveling to his destination via the underbelly of a train but was petrified of storms. A good handyman, Shorty holds a special place in Diane's memory as she fondly recalls him calling her mother, Annie Girl, and taking Diane fishing as a young girl.
Diane often worked alongside the men. At five years old, she navigated a truck for crews of hay haulers. She still feels tinges of anxiety when recalling driving grain trucks to Bungee in Cairo. She laughingly recants catching a wing of a big batwing disc on a fence and popping fence posts out of the ground as her family frantically, and to no avail, tried to get her attention to stop her.
Encapsulated in the straight grain of the walnut wood are also cherished memories of Sunday dinners on a flat bed wagon under the oak trees and playing with cousins in the creek as the grown ups whiled the afternoon away talking until time to milk the cows.
The Bondurant family farm and generations gone but not forgotten will live on in memories warm and rich like the exceptionally strong, durable, and beautiful walnut wood crafted into Diane Shrewsberry's cabinets.


In playing 1950s astrophysicist J. Allen Hynek in History's UFO drama "Project Blue Book," Aidan Gillen realized that he shared at least one belief with his character – that, yes, there's probably something out there.
In the Tuesday series, Gillen ("Game of Thrones") stars as Hynek, a brilliant college professor recruited by the U.S. Air Force to lead a clandestine operation researching thousands of cases of UFO encounters in the 1950s and '60s. That operation, dubbed Project Blue Book, ended in 1969 with about 700 cases still unsolved.

Лікарня милосердя — це двоповерхова будівля у місті Нампа, штат Айдахо. Збудована в 1919 році, лікарня перебувала під керівництвом сестер милосердя, однак будівлю покинули в 1967 році, коли лікарня переїхала до недавно побудованого Центру Медичного милосердя. Після цього будівля використовувалася декількома різними організаціями, останньою з яких був Будинок для людей похилого віку Вейлі Плаза, який був зачинений у 2004 році.

Історія
Збір коштів на 32-кімнатну лікарню розпочався в 1917 році. Будівництво, профінансоване містом та сестрами милосердя, розпочалося у грудні 1918 року на землі, яку пожертвувала Католицька церква. Будывництво було завершено в жовтні 1919 року, а урочисте відкриття відбулося 4 листопада 1919 року. Будівлю оновлювали у 1936, 1957, 1959 роках, і кінцева кількість кімнат підвищилася до числа 100. Місця на 6-й Вулиці уже не вистачало, тому лікарня переїхала на 12-е Авеню у 1967 році, де можна було вміщувати 120 хворих.

Будівля була додана до Національного реєстру історичних місць у 2014 р. Весь блок між 16-ю і 17-ю Південної Авеню і 8-ї і 9-ї Південної Вулиці включений у список, хоча тільки будівля лікарні і грот зберігають історичну або архітектурну цінність. Лікарня Милосердя має велике значення. Вона є прикладом кропіткого громадського зусилля побудувати сучасну лікарню в той час, коли така можливість була незвичайною для маленького міста Нампа.

Сучасне використання
Споруда використовувалася як офісна будівля, склад, а також як штаб-квартира організації Head Start після 1967 року. Вона була перебудована під житловий комплекс в 1990-ті роки, однак він був закритий у 2004 році. З того часу будівля залишалася пустою.

На початку 2006 року в покинутій будівлі сталася пожежа. У травні 2016 року будинок було зруйновано.

Former Astronaut Mark Kelly, Gabrielle Giffords Launch Gun Control Initiative

Former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband, retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, launched a gun control initiative on Tuesday (Jan. 8), the two year anniversary of the Tucson shooting that killed six and left Giffords and 12 others wounded.
The couple's newly unveiled political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, aims to spark a dialogue about preventing gun violence and balance the influence of special interest groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA).
"We can't be naive about what it will take to achieve the most common-sense solutions," Giffords and Kelly wrote in an op-ed in USA Today. "We can't just hope that the last shooting tragedy will prevent the next. Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources."
The launch comes on the heels of a horrific school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 first-graders and six adults dead at the hands of a 20-year-old gunman last month. Giffords and Kelly recently visited the town and met with family members of the victims.
The former congresswoman was shot in the head while meeting with constituents outside of a Tucson supermarket on Jan. 8, 2011. The convicted gunman responsible for the carnage, Jared Loughner, age 24, has been sentenced to life in prision. Giffords, who was a member of several congressional committees on science and space, stepped down from politics last year to focus on her health and rehabilitation.
Kelly is a veteran of four space shuttle flights. He commanded two, including NASA's last flight of the space shuttle Endeavour in May 2011, before retiring from NASA's astronaut corps. Kelly's identical twin brother Scott Kelly is also a NASA astronaut and veteran of two shuttle flights and an International Space Station mission.

REER depreciates to 96.19 in Dec 2022
Suggests the value of the currency in interbank market at Rs229.15 is close to its fair value
KARACHI:
The value of the rupee apparently stands close to its fair value at present, as the real effective exchange rate (REER) – the worth of the local currency compared to a basket of currencies from trading partner countries – depreciated to 96.19 in December 2022.
According to data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), in November 2022, the REER stood at 98.90 on the index.
Experts say a REER below 100 means the value of the rupee is standing at a fair level. If, however, the REER is over 100 on the index, the local currency becomes overvalued.
Earlier, the local currency closed at Rs226.43 against the US dollar in the interbank market on December 30, 2022. The domestic currency stood at Rs223.94 against the greenback in the market on November 30, 2022.
In its latest move, the currency depreciated beyond Rs229 after a three-and-half-month gap on Thursday. It depreciated by a fresh 0.10%, or Rs0.24, to Rs229.15 in the interbank market on the day.
The rupee has maintained a downtick on the 22nd consecutive working day ahead of the resumption of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan programme.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar believes that the fair value of the local currency stands at Rs180-200 against the greenback. He, however, faces stiff criticism as market talks suggest he has continued to control the rupee.
The apparent administrative control over the rupee in the interbank market has given birth to a black-market, where the value of the rupee hovers at around 265 against the greenback.
There is an impression that the actual value of rupee is the one available at the black-market.
The latest data on the REER, however, suggests the value of the local currency in interbank market at Rs229.15 is close to its fair value, while its stands undervalued at the black-market.

Q: AngularJS - change templateUrl if routeprovider starts with certain text I have this code:
    var app = angular.module('TabsApplication', ['ngRoute'])
     .config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider
         .when('/search', {
          templateUrl: 'search.html',
          controller: 'SearchController'
        })
        .otherwise({
          redirectTo: '/home'
        });
    }])

Right now, I go to http://myapp.com/#/search, it will display search.html. What I want is that if I go to http://myapp.com/#/search?search1=1&search2=2, it will also display search.html.
If I use '/search*', it will redirect to home if I type http://myapp.com/#/search, but if I type http://myapp.com/#/search*, it will show search.html.
Is there a way to do this? I am using AngularJs version 1.2.9.

A: enter code herevar app = angular.module('TabsApplication', ['ngRoute'])
     .config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider
     .when("/search", {
      templateUrl: 'html/somepath/search.html'
      controller: 'SearchController'
    })
    .otherwise({
      redirectTo: '/home'
    });
}])`enter code here`


My favorite thing about working with our customers is the fun they have with all the pieces they purchase from us. I love to listen to their excitement when they tell me about the variety of events these items will be used for. It ranges from people who wear our items daily to those who use it for theater or movies. Everyone has a story and I get to hear them when we chat over the phone. It is amazing to connect on a personal level with so many people.
I've had so many different customer experiences that it's difficult to pin down just one. One of my very first interactions with a customer was with a gentleman in Oklahoma, named Bill. He was looking to put together a few pieces of our western attire to surprise his wife. She was working at an amusement park for the summer months as a skilled artisan in full old west attire. One day he'd gone to deliver some supplies to her in an outfit he put together randomly. Bill said she was not impressed and he just wanted to wow her with something a little more historically accurate. So, we found a few pieces, including a mustache so she wouldn't even see him coming. He was such a character and a joy to help. I hope what he and I put together did her proud.
A great tip to using our site more efficiently is utilizing our refinements menu. The refinement menu is on the left hand side of our website, if you're using a desktop, or at the top, if you're using a smart phone or tablet. This pull down narrows down a search in a variety of ways including color, size, and/or material.
It's fun and interesting without being overly flashy. Just enough elegance to make someone the star of the occasion.
It's classic and pretty. Easy to wear and looks good on everyone. A nice, feminine look for the time.
A cool walking stick for males or females. The attention to detail is so pretty and is very comfortable to walk with. Also, I'm a sucker for ravens.
A classic hat with a Steampunk twist. It's just super cool and pretty. Comfortable to wear and flattering with any outfit.
Who doesn't love a bow tie? This one is cute and brightens up any suit. It's just downright dapper.

Wirpsa, J. M., Johnson R. E., Bieler, J., Boyken, L., Pugliese, K., Rosencrans, E. and Murphy, P. "Interprofessional models for shared decision making: the role of the health care chaplain." Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy 25, no. 1 (January-March 2019): 20-44.
SUMMARY and COMMENT: The authors of this month's study hold that "[c]entral to the role of professional health care chaplains is support for the complex, emotionally laden process of medical decision making" [p. 39]. And so, here they look at chaplains' involvement in decision-making processes, analyzing results from a national online survey of chaplains working with adults with serious or life-limiting illness. This is a report of the first part of a three-phase project, with the later phases involving phone interviews with chaplains and an invitation to contribute detailed case studies. The authors focus on the idea of Shared Decision Making (SDM) in health care and apply their results to propose a revised model formally integrating chaplains.
Educating patients and families regarding the specific details of medical procedures and interventions such as CPR, intubation, among others.
"...[O]nly years of experience and being a designated palliative care chaplain were significantly related to the outcome variable of Integration into the health care team SDM" [p. 28].
"...Chaplains describe their role as normalizing, validating, and 'blessing' patient/family decisions." [pp. 32-33]. A theme of pastoral authority was connected here.
Regarding barriers to chaplain integration into SDM, the authors highlight three areas. First, "...high case loads, being assigned to too many areas of coverage rather than being a dedicated team member, and carrying a system wide on-call pager precluded them from supporting patients and families in medical decision making" [p. 35]. Second, the "persistence of the biomedical model" [p. 36], which emphasizes medical evidence and so may discount "emotional and spiritual components" [p. 36] in patient/family decision making was "highlighted by chaplains in our study as a central reason for the lack of chaplain inclusion in SDM" [p. 36]. Contributing to this was believed to be misunderstandings of the chaplain's role, including views of chaplains -- especially by physicians -- "as just 'pastors'" [p. 36]. And third, respondents noted that "many physicians claim primary responsibility for guiding patients and families in treatment decisions to the exclusion of other team members" [p. 36].
A principal limitation of the study is that data represent only chaplains' own perceptions of their work with SDM, bringing into play the "potential bias in self-report and the impact of social desirability" [pp. 38-39] in responses. Also, the study "fails to measure the actual difference chaplain integration into the team has on patient care outcomes" [p. 39]. With these limits in mind, the authors suggest possibilities for future research [--see p. 39].
This study fills an important gap in the literature on SDM and points up how chaplains both experience and envision their role as part of the multidisciplinary health care team. It also suggests a revised model for SDM that could at least be a touchtone for discussion about processes for health care decision-making inclusive of chaplains. There is much here to empower chaplains to take more of a place at the table of the multidisciplinary team. However, while chaplains would certainly bring a great array of expertise and skills to SDM, this reader was surprised by the stridency of some of the quotes used to illustrate the findings. For example, regarding the "exercise of pastoral authority" with religious patients and families: "I am able to speak to how God will honor their decisions" [p. 33]. To this reader, such a statement is not just an example of how a chaplain "moves the decision-making process along and provides a greater sense of satisfaction and peace with the decision" [p. 33], but of how a chaplain's use of authority may be worth some debate. Similarly, the activity item of "Educating patients and families regarding the specific details of medical procedures and interventions..." [p. 25 and 34] seems open to questions about the chaplain's role itself, even though reported as common by 27% of the sample [--see p. 30]. Now it was not a goal of the authors to deliberate the respondents perspectives but rather to elucidate them and explore possibilities, yet the overall effect for this reader was to experience the article as extremely thought-provoking on multiple levels. The next phase of the project, the book, Chaplains as Partners in Medical Decision Making: Case Studies in Healthcare Chaplaincy, due out later this year, should be equally fascinating [--see Items of Related Interest, §I, below].
The bibliography is quite good, with 58 references.
This month's article could be a convenient way to place the subject of decision making on the agenda for students, though it might be best used with students who have had significant clinical time and can put the content of the article in a practical context. What is the group's experience with involvement in health care decision-making? Has it revolved around individual encounters with patients? Just how do they think they've been helpful to patients in this regard? Do they find that the activity of helping patients or families with decision-making is distinctive for end-of-life circumstances? To what extent has there been input or discussion at the care team level? What do they personally believe to be potential barriers to this? Which findings of the study resonate most with the group, and do any seem out of sync with their own experience or perspective? The group could look particularly at the listing of the six activities [p. 25] and consider how much those would seem to apply to them. Also, what quotes from participants in the study stand out? And, the revised model for Shared Decision Making [p. 32] could be walked through. Does it seem feasible? Finally, students might discuss whether chaplains need to deviate from the norm of pastoral interaction when involved with decision making.
Our set of case studies focuses on one specific, and often underrepresented, area of chaplaincy care -- support of the medical decision making process and key factors in communication with the medical team about how and when decisions are made. The set of case studies depict and analyze three interventions that support the larger outcome of facilitating medical decision making and identifies potential questions for future research. Does the involvement of the chaplain in the medical decision making process lead to value-concordant care and decisions? Does early involvement of the chaplain where there are high stakes decisions to be made lead to less aggressive care at the end of life or impact length of stay? What kind of interdisciplinary education of the healthcare team leads to increased integration of the chaplain into shared decision making? To what degree do other members of the medical team welcome chaplains' involvement in medical decision making? Should chaplaincy case studies follow a proscribed format, or would varying formats allow for unique insights into chaplaincy care? Does isolating a specific dimension of care promote or make more difficult the task of drawing out unified themes for hypotheses or conceptual framework development? Finally, is it possible to maintain the integrity of the thick narrative of story while "abstracting from the particular"?
II. For more on this particular article and project, see a December 13, 2018 interview of M. Jeanne Wirpsa on the Transforming Chaplaincy website. Also, Transforming Chaplaincy has posted a video (December 15, 2018) of Chaplain Wirpsa's presentation of "A Place at the Table: The Role of the Chaplain in Shared Decision Making."

Teutsch, Professor Emeritus and Senior Consultant at the Center for Jewish Ethics of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (Wyncote, PA) published online a "A Chaplain's Guide to Values-Based Decision Making."

15 Fascinating Facts About Epilepsy
Nic Swaner
Epilepsy, also known as seizure disorder, is a serious condition in which a person experiences a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain, affecting how they act or feel. There are many portrayals of this disorder in television (all of which are wholly inaccurate and for plot reasons only). Being personally afflicted with the most commercially patchable form of this disease, the most accurate description I could describe you with would be to tighten all your muscles as hard as you can, past the point of discomfort. You're starting to cramp, aren't you? Now conceptualize this: while your muscles are tensing, you are repeatedly bashing your appendages and your head against other solid objects (Do not try). It is a disquieting scene to witness a man attempting to stand on his own two feet, but his muscles have been strained to the point that it's too painful to do so. In order to enlighten some of you about epilepsy, the following list is fifteen facts I have learned about epilepsy through research, trauma and treatment.
Facts 15-11
15. Hippocrates wrote the first book on epilepsy, On the Sacred Disease, around 400 BC, recognizing that it was a brain disorder and claiming that people with epilepsy did not have the power of prophecy.
14. Single tonic-clonic (otherwise known as grand mal) seizures lasting less than 5-10 minutes are not known to cause brain damage, contrary to the belief that seizures cause brain damage, they are actually more likely to stem from head trauma.
13. You cannot swallow your tongue during a seizure; you cannot swallow your tongue now, can you?
12. There have been some recent implications that have caused many to believe epilepsy goes hand in hand with anxiety and depression.
11. Like a diabetic who is misinterpreted as a drunk driver, epileptics can often have a seizure that manifests itself as bizarre behavior, such as: repeating the same word, not responding to questions, speaking gibberish, undressing, or screaming. (In my case I was considered a threat to an entire classroom while I was suffering from a seizure of this nature.)
Facts 10-6
10. Early in the 19th century, people with severe epilepsy were cared for in asylums, but one of the reasons they were kept separate from psychiatric patients was because of the misconception that seizures were contagious.
9. Everyone is born with a seizure threshold. If your threshold is high, you are less likely to have a seizure. However certain activities or things, known as triggers, can lower your threshold, such as drinking alcohol, sleep deprivation, stress, illness, flickering lights and hormones (for women mostly) can have an impact on your seizure threshold.
8. Only in about 30% of cases is the cause of epilepsy determined. The other 70% remain unanswered, in what is referred to as idiopathic epilepsy.
7. About 1 in 20 epileptics are sensitive to flickering light, or photosensitive epilepsy. The contrast, or change in light, can trigger a seizure.
6. The official color for Epilepsy Awareness is Lavender, with the pantone swatch of PMS 2593.
Facts 5-1
5. Towards the start of the 20th century, some US states had laws forbidding people with epilepsy to marry or become parents, some even permitting sterilization.
4. Seizures have a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning, referred to as the aura, can have signs of the oncoming seizure such as smells, sounds, tastes, lightheadedness, or deja and jamais vu. The middle, is the seizure itself, whether it be a grand mal seizure, or a simple partial seizure. The end of the seizure is called the postictal phase and is the brain recovering, which can take anywhere from seconds to hours and is usually accompanied with disorientation and memory loss.
3. The proper treatment for someone having a tonic-clonic seizure is not what you see in TV shows (multiple people pressing their body weight down on a seizing person). Here's what you should do: Pay attention to how long the seizure lasts, move objects that they could strike out of the vicinity, simply block their way to prevent them from moving too far (or into water, fall off a bed, etc.). Put them on their side after the episode and don't put anything in their mouth. If it lasts for more than five minutes call an ambulance.
2. Diastat, or diazepam, is the medicine used to treat a prolonged seizure or cluster of seizures. It is a gel supplied in a plastic applicator that, most unfortunately, has to be inserted rectally.
1. Epilepsy is usually not a lifelong disorder, with only 25% of those who develop seizures developing difficult to control seizures. And in my experience, those who have lifelong seizure disorders have more serious conditions at play.

FFN Rabobank Farm Managers Program Winner
FUTURE Farmers Network member Alex Davies is headed from his farm at Coonabarabran to New Zealand next week.
The young sheep, wool and grain producer has been awarded the inaugural Future Farmers Network Rabobank Farm Managers Program opportunity.
Rabobank's Southern Queensland & Northern New South Wales Client Council awarded a place on their annual Farm Managers Program, held in Christchurch, to the FFN Member who displayed a clear ambition and desire to help the sustainability of their industry.
Alex's ambition was clear to selectors, through both his work on the family's 4000 acre farm Box Ridge, and his work across the wider industry and community.
"I love Ag – when your passion is on the land it makes it really easy to get out of bed and go and do whatever needs doing, and there is such a diverse range of jobs – spraying and spreading to shearing and drenching – pretty much anything. I love looking at a good line of sheep and some beautiful Merino wool," he said.
Alex has been back on Box Ridge for seven years, and works alongside his parents in the day to day running of their 4200 Merino ewe flock and 1500 acres of dual purpose crops.
Alex Davies of Box Ridge at Coonabarabran, NSW, has won a spot in the Rabobank Farm Managers Program in New Zealand.
He says succession planning, farm debt and drought are the biggest issues facing the agricultural industry, and he hopes to gain valuable skills at the Farm Managers Program to use both on-farm and for wider advocacy and extension work.
"I didn't go to uni and always kicked myself that I don't have a piece of paper to my name – I have spoken to a lot of people who have done this and it sounds unreal – so it was a no-brainer to apply," he said.
"(Learning about) succession planning is going to be a big one, just because of the situation my family are in at home, and also managing people and employees, preparation for a managers role, I will get a lot out of that."
In the future, Alex hopes to manage a harmonious and successful team on-farm – and get plenty of rain of course.
"I look forward to the seasons returning to a normal rainfall if there is such a thing these days, and working alongside a team that at the end of the day you can be proud of what you've achieved and what you've produced."
Alex was judged the winner from 27 applications and will attend the Rabobank Farm Managers Program, a one-week residential course held outside Christchurch New Zealand from 23-28 June 2019, with the course ($5900), flights and accommodation paid for.
Rabobank Knowledge and Network Experiences manager Matilda Stump said they were "thrilled and overwhelmed" with the calibre of applications
"Reading through the applications everyone on the panel felt very inspired and excited about the future of our industry and the leaders coming through," she said.
"Alex Davies' application stood out for many reasons as someone who has clear ambitions, would benefit enormously from business management training and who would really make the most of the networking opportunities and mentoring the program offers."
Chair of the Rabobank Southern QLD and Northern NSW Client Council Sally Rigney said the calibre of candidates meant selecting the winner was a big challenge.
"Reading the FMP applications and seeing the depth of talent in the next generation of Australian agricultural producers inspired us with hope for the future."
"It was a very tight contest among our final four but Alex Davies from Coonabarabran won through due to his clear vision, can-do attitude and obvious thirst for knowledge."
"For Alex you could see the opportunity to attend the FMP would be life changing. Alex is someone who wants so much more for his family partnership and probably wouldn't have access to this type of learning and knowledge without the financial support of our Rabobank Client Council scholarship."
Designed to strengthen the operational and strategic skills of farm managers, the Farm Managers Program covers global trends in agriculture, business planning, financial management, leadership, and succession planning.
Facilitated by experts in these fields, the program is designed to develop management expertise and ensure farmers leave with a highly practical skill set that can be applied from day one.
The Rabobank Client Council Southern Queensland and Northern NSW is excited at the prospect of turning this into an annual initiative in partnership with Future Farmers Network.

Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) have a max weight of 80,000 pounds (load plus vehicle weight), although truckers can petition for an oversize or overweight permit with their state's Department of Transportation. Not only are there weight requirements on loads carried, but federal regulations also dictate how that load can be secured. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) cargo securement rules state that each tiedown be attached and secured in a manner that prevents it from becoming loose, opening, unfastening, or otherwise releasing while vehicle is in transit. FMCSA regulations also require that cargo securement systems be able to sustain various deceleration and acceleration forces in varying directions without compromising the position of the cargo.
Any of these rules, when disregarded, can cause or contribute to serious semi truck accidents. If you were injured or lost a loved one in an accident with a large truck, we invite you to contact us to investigate your case. We can evaluate your situation to determine if overloading or unsecured cargo may have contributed to your accident. If so, we could hold the driver or trucking company responsible for negligence.
At Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge, our Nashville truck accident attorneys have helped injured clients secure millions. We are seasoned trial attorneys who know the right way to handle your case. Our attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience—much of it spent trying cases successfully.
Call (615) 933-2893 today for a free case consultation. Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge is here to secure justice for you and your loved ones.
In 2012, a government study found that there were 51,000 road incidents in 2010 involving unsecured loads. In 20% of those incidents, other drivers suffered injuries as a result of the debris—that's over 10,000 injuries. Tragically, 500 people were killed due to unsecured objects.
According to the Department of Transportation, a 20-pound object moving at 55 mph can strike with a 1,000-pound impact. Truckers are expected to not only be aware of their loads, but to fasten them down in a way that is safe for everyone on the road. This might include using dunnage or dunnage bags, which are used to fill the space between cargo in truck trailers, or tiedowns, which are used to keep cargo unmoved during acceleration and deceleration.
When your injuries have left you less able to provide for yourself, or medical bills are overwhelming you, you do not have to deal with it alone. Our firm has tried hundreds of cases, recovering millions for our clients in record-breaking verdicts and jury awards. We provide our clients with the resources, justice, and closure they need to move forward with their lives. If you need an advocate to stand up to the people that caused damages to you and your family, we can help.

The Life of Lady Fatima
Name: Fatima
Title : Al-Zahra
Born : Friday 20th of Jamadi-ul-Akhar - Mecca
Father's Name: Holy Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdulla (PBUH)
Mother's Name: Khadija Bint Khuwailid
Martyred : 13th Jamadi-ul-Awwal or 3rd Jamadi-ul-Akhir 11Hijrah in Medina at the age of 18 (due to injury inflicted upon her through force of a falling door by a hypocrite).
Buried : The cemetery of Jannatul Baqi at Medina (probably)
Fatima may not be an Imam but she is the mother of eleven infallible Imams and, without a doubt, the Imams owe their infallible characteristics to their mother. Her distinctions are numerous, one of the most outstanding of which are her parents – the Prophet and Khadija. Parents have a huge influence on their children; we already know who her father was, but we should acquaint ourselves with her mother too.
Khadija was the first woman to accept Islam as her religion. Even before becoming a Muslim, she used to perform prayers led by the Prophet or Ali.
The Prophet's daughter was born c. 605. She lived with her father for eight years in Mecca and ten years in Medina. After the demise of the Prophet, she lived only between 75 and 95 days before she too passed way. (Kashf al-Ghamma) She lost her mother when she was five years old. Her father's main supporter, Abu Talib, died a few years later. These two sad events distressed her greatly. At home, she had much work to do, but she became experienced. Fatima was eight when her father left Mecca for Medina. She arrived in Medina along with a group of Muslim women known as the Fawatim. A new chapter opened in her life.
Fatima in the Qur'an
The Qur'an's description of people is never flawed because the book speaks for God, the creator of all mankind, and God knows human beings better than they know themselves! 'Would He who has created not know? And He is the All-attentive, the All-aware.' (Q67:14)
The Qur'an may not have mentioned Fatima by name, but it has spoken implicitly about people whose characteristics match those of Fatima.
The Verse of Purification
This famous verse was revealed about the Prophet's household, describing them as pure and pious people; Fatima is a member of the Prophet's Household, as many aḥādīth confirm (Dhakhāʾir al-ʿUqbā).
'Indeed Allah desires to repel all impurity from you, O People of the Household, and purify you with a thorough purification.' (Q33:33)
The prophet describes his daughter as follows:
'God will become angry for the sake of Fatima's anger and He will be pleased on account of her happiness.' (Farāʾid al-Samṭayn)
This tradition, narrated by Muslim traditions with minor variations, indicates that Fatima is infallible, or else her feelings could not have influenced God's: 'Say, 'Indeed Allah does not enjoin indecencies. Do you attribute to Allah what you do not know?'' (Q7:28)
Fatima, a Paragon of Virtue
Fatima is an example for all women to follow in their lives. The Qur'an refers to two women as examples of piety and prosperity and two others as signs of misery. The latter are wives of the Prophets Noah and Lot. These two women betrayed their husbands who were messengers of God. To that effect, the Qur'an says: 'Allah draws an example for the faithless: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of our righteous servants, yet they betrayed them. So they did not avail them in any way against Allah, and it was said [to them], 'Enter the Fire, along with those who enter [it].'' (Q66:10)
The two examples of prosperity are Asia, the wife of Pharaoh, and Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Asia was the Queen of Egypt. She was unique, but she accepted the invitation of Moses, regardless of all risks. Pharaoh was infuriated when he discovered his wife's inclination towards his enemy. Despite his love for her, he crucified her, little knowing that he only served her realize her dream. The Qur'an says: 'Allah draws an[other] example for those who have faith: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, 'My Lord! Build me a home near You in paradise, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his conduct, and deliver me from the wrongdoing lot.'' (Q66:11)
The second woman was Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Qur'an describes how she reacted to Gabriel: 'Thus did she seclude herself from them, whereupon We sent to her Our Spirit and he became incarnate for her as a well-proportioned human. She said, 'I seek the protection of the All-beneficent from you, should you be God wary!' He said, 'I am only a messenger of your Lord that I may give you a pure son.'' (Q19:17–19) The Qur'an describes Mary as follows: 'And Mary, daughter of Imran, who guarded the chastity of her womb, so We breathed into it of Our spirit. She confirmed the words of her Lord and His Books, and she was one of the obedient.' (Q66:12)
Fatima's Martyrdom
Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, passed away at the age of 18. It happened three months after her father's death. Fatima was killed as a mob invaded her home. Imam al-Sadiq says she drank the chalice of martyrdom. Nobody is able to cover up the injustice perpetrated against the daughter of the Prophet. The Eighth Imam says she was buried in her own home.

In the document the description of a few tasks can be found, as well as the laboratory syllabus in Hungarian language, example codes for each task, and the theoretical background. During the measurement, the students get a brief insight to the working method of the microcontrollers, e.g. analog – digital conversion, PWM signal generation, reading of inputs or interrupt handling.
For the tasks I was trying to use the already existing laboratory equipment, but from the missing devices I tried to estimate the cost of one measuring station.
The time limitation on preparation and the laboratory itself was taken into consideration, and also it was a goal, to try to create interesting and motivating tasks for the students. To accomplish this, no highly complicated task was given, and I was trying to extract the basics of microcontroller programming for them.
