Classic & Collectible
1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix
Pontiac's full-size cars took on a bulging new look for 1965, and the Grand Prix followed suit.
©2007 Publications International, Ltd.
After three successful years, the 1965-1968 Pontiac Grand Prix entered a four-year sales decline that reflected a general decline in the car itself. Actually, there was nothing wrong with the 1965-68 models that a visit to Weight Watchers wouldn't fix, and if more glitter and gadgets were evident, so was more power that enabled performance to remain respectable.
These GPs were clearly less special than the handsome and balanced 1962-64s, a fact evidently not lost on the public. From a high of 12.4 percent for 1963, Grand Prix skidded to just 4.4 percent of total Pontiac sales by 1966 -- a record year for the division as a whole. The '68 figure was an equally lackluster 4.6 percent.
This fall in fortunes largely stemmed from two related factors: the advent of mid-size performance cars like Pontiac's own GTO, and a consequent waning interest in sporty big cars like the Grand Prix. Price was not a factor. Despite a bigger, all-new design, the '65 base-priced a dollar less than the '64 -- exactly $3,498 -- and by '68 the sticker was up by less than $200 despite interim inflationary pressures.
Inflated certainly described Pontiac's '65 styling, which contrived to make its wares seem much larger than any dimensional gains suggested. Indeed, GP wheelbase was stretched only an inch, to 121, and just 1.6 inches were added to overall length, though the resulting 214.6 inches were hardly what one would call trim. Curb weight was little affected, too, remaining at just under two tons.
Nevertheless, the '65 GP and its cohorts looked like bodybuilders on steroids: bulged and billowed all over the place in the curvy, humped-fender idiom GM hoped to popularize. About all that remained of previous Grand Prixs were the trademark split-theme grille, stacked quad headlamps, discreetly hidden taillamps, and unique roofline with concave rear window.
Happier news awaited underneath. Like GM's other B-body full-size cars that year, the '65 Pontiacs adopted a stronger new full-perimeter chassis that was more resistant to side impact damage than the previous X-member design.
Another advancement came as the old never-liked Roto Hydra-Matic transmission gave way to the vastly superior new Turbo Hydra-Matic with enlarged torque converter. Engine choices still comprised a quartet of 389s and a trio of big-block 421s, but power ratings were up across the board. The standard 389, for instance, gained 22 horsepower for a total of 325, and 421s offered up to 376 with optional Tri-Power carburetion.
Helped in no little measure by the new automatic, the base-engine '65 proved quicker than its '63 counterpart by nearly three seconds in the 0-60 dash, according to Motor Trend -- a 27 percent improvement. Braking suffered, though -- by a substantial 44 feet in 60-mph "panic" stops.
Other things suffered, too. A bench seat was standard in lieu of buckets, which now cost extra, and upholstery switched from vinyl to cloth. In short, the GP was turning from sports-luxury to personal-luxury. But Ford's Thunderbird and Buick's Riviera were knocking each other over for king of that hill; GP evidently wasn't seen as a contender.
Despite Pontiac's best intentions, sales of the 1965-1968 Grand Prix were rather lackluster. Go to the next page to find out more.

1965-1968 Pontiac Grand Prix
The 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix was little changed from the 1965 models, save for a mild facelift.
Disappointing sales figures plagued the 1965-1968 Pontiac Grand Prix. Despite Motor Trend "Car of the Year" honors to Pontiac -- and record division sales -- the '65 Grand Prix garnered some 6,000 fewer orders than the '64.
The '66 generated less than 60 percent of '64 volume -- and the aforementioned 4.4 percent of total Pontiac sales. The main change that year was an attractive, muted facelift of the somewhat exaggerated '65 look.
Sales improved to nearly 43,000 for 1967, when a full lower-body re-skin conferred a hulkier look again, dominated by a massive bumper/grille with Grand Prix's first hidden headlamps. Wipers were also hidden, and there was heavy sculpturing around the rear wheels.
Federal smog standards were looming, so engine selections were reduced to four: a pair of 400 V-8s and two stroked 428s, all sharing new block and head designs conceived with lower emissions in mind. Power was still plentiful, though, ranging from a 265-bhp "economy" 400 to a 376-bhp 428. But the big '67 news was the first-and last-Grand Prix convertible. Though attractive and eminently desirable, it cost $264 more than the mainstay hardtop coupe, which was not chicken feed then, and fewer than 6,000 were called for, only 13.7 percent of GP sales. To no one's surprise, it did not return for '68.
The hardtop did, of course, but yet another lower-body restyle rendered looks debatable. The big bumper/grille was even bigger, side sculpturing more radical, and the rear end became massive and Buick-like. Even Pontiac engineer Bill Collins later called the '68 GP "a disaster, Nobody bought it. It looked like a big fat turkey." Maybe so, but it was not unpalatable to Car and Driver: "The performance and roadability . . . are excellent. Only its size and weight keep the Grand Prix from being a Super Car."
But sales were again anything but super -- the lowest since debut '62, in fact. A new Grand Prix with more of the original spirit was clearly needed. And that's precisely what Collins and company delivered for 1969.

En högmässogudstjänst, även söndagsgudstjänst, är en form av gudstjänst som firas i Svenska kyrkan.

Högmässogudstjänsten omfattar aktuella söndags bibeltexter, och innefattar ingen nattvard. Den är därmed ingen mässa (i tidigare upplagor av den svenska kyrkohandboken kallades den dock "högmässa utan nattvard"), utan en gudstjänst som firas på högmässotid, vilket är söndag eller helgdag, oftast på förmiddagen. Många församlingar firar vissa söndagar högmässogudstjänst i stället för högmässa.

Countdown to 2015: 2014 TV
Posted on January 3, 2015 by Shoshana G.
Disclaimer: I only rank shows that I watch and I'm not a TV critic. Also, there are some spoilers. Read at your own risk…
1. The Americans
The first season of The Americans was good but not memorable enough to make last year's list; the second season, although it aired in the spring, never left my head. The story arc was broader and it dug deeper. Every character, even the children, who in a lesser series would just be bratty teenagers, had more of a role, and the themes of marriage and parenting were stronger while maintaining their subtlety. The Americans is also the first show I've watched that successfully portrays a compelling female anti-hero without attempting to make her overly sympathetic. The season two finale set up a great story for season 3, and, if the writing remains strong, this next season could be even better.
2. The Middle
The Middle continues to bring me so much joy, even in its 6th season. I cry at almost every episode (it's like the sitcom equivalent to Parenthood) because the characters and situations are so hilarious yet familiar and real. My favorite character has always been Sue, who is now navigating the college admissions process and confronting the reality of both her family's finances and her own limitations, but through it all she remains the overly optimistic Sue. The highlight of the year was the season 5 finale in Disney World, where through some mishaps the family receives an expensive suite for the night free of charge. After freaking out over every amenity, they oversleep because they've never slept in sheets so soft.
3. Parks and Recreation
This year stood out because of Ben's ingenious Cones of Dunshire game, which began as a pet project but found its way to the lounges of many a tech start-up. Leslie also had a choice to make: Her dream job or raising her family in her beloved Pawnee. Needless to say, Leslie found a way to have both. Parks and Rec can feel too lived-in at this point with everyone settling into the lives they want, so it's probably for the best that this next season will be the last. It will still be hard to say goodbye.
4. The Mindy Project
Not only did Mindy and Danny get together this year but they stayed together. No small feat for a sitcom based on the romantic comedy genre. From Danny and Mindy's kiss on the plane to their trip to the top of the Empire State Building, their courtship and coming together was both hilarious and sweet. Their relationship, while funny, also dealt with topics not usually dealt with in the traditional sitcom. But it's not all about their relationship. The most recent episode had Danny giving Mindy a professional recommendation instead of a ring, and overall this season has done well balancing Mindy's professional journey with her relationship with Danny (and his Ma). The supporting characters have also had good storylines as the office environment has gelled. I still miss Mindy's friends from season one, but I'm okay exchanging them for a tighter show.
5. Louie
I skipped over season 3 (I'll go back), but season 4 was not like the first 2 seasons. There was some continuity from episode to episode, and if something didn't make sense it was actually addressed. Louie has generally been a series of vignettes with very few constants, and this season's new consistency made it more like a regular TV show. The episodes still had the familiar absurdities, though, and it was nice to see some longer stories being told. The smaller stories can pack a big punch, however, and those tended to be my favorites in the season. I also liked that the kids had more to do, as they've been two of the show's few consistent characters.
6. Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time really hit its stride this year. I loved the second half of last season with the Wicked Witch, and while I've never seen Frozen, those characters were a welcome addition to the show. What I love most about this show is that it focuses on complex women as it plays with genres ("fairy tales" and "Disney") in which complicated female characters aren't usually the focus. Women caring about each other is at the center of most of the storylines, even when it's a love story or fighting the "big bad." It was fun to see Emma and Hook's relationship heat up and solidify this year, as well as see Regina embrace her complexity, and it was also nice to see a female superhero who is my age (late 20s/early 30s) instead of teenager or, at most, early 20s, proving that you can come into your powers at any time.
7. Jane the Virgin
I had heard good buzz about this show, and the buzz was right. It's the perfect blend of comedy, family drama, and telenovela the likes of which have not been on TV since Ugly Betty. The plot may seem a little far fetched–an early 20-something is accidentally artificially inseminated–but the show knows it's a telenovela (complete with voiceover), and it all works. Few shows deal with the virginity of non-teenagers, and the show keeps those moments honest–like when Jane holds off on sex before marriage even though she's already pregnant and when she has to tell her new boyfriend that she's a virgin and waiting. The relationship between Jane and her mom (who had Jane at 16) is rich and heartfelt, a perfect balance to the humor that comes from the other crazy characters, most notably Jane's recently discovered father, a narcissistic telenovela star.
8. Transparent
My favorite aspect of Transparent is how Jewish the family and, therefor, the show is. Yes, the show is about an older man transitioning and the fluidity of the gender and sexuality of those around him (including his family members), but it's just as rare to see on a show a female rabbi being pursued by a secular young Jewish man, a 13-year-old performing (really performing) her Bat Mitzvah portion, and a Shabbat dinner. The characters can often be awful people, but when they come together as a family they're quite compelling.
9. Girls
The third season of Girls was an improvement on season two and maybe even better than season one. I continued to enjoy all the characters with the exception of Jessa, who was often insufferable, and each character did a good amount of growing up. I especially loved the beach house dance and the episode in which Hannah's grandmother died. So many of the episodes were like short stories, but the longer arc of Hannah and Adam's relationship was also compelling and believable. I'm intrigued to see how they'll handle the next season with Hannah in graduate school.
HBO's Girls
10. Mad Men
Mad Men might be higher on the list had they shown a full season this year. Not much happened in this half-season aside from Don working his way back into his job, but I still love the show and characters, especially Sally, Peggy, and Joan. It's hard to believe the series is almost at the end.
Runners Up:
A shout out to Selfie, a show as good as any first-season sitcom could possibly be. It was cancelled after airing a handful of episodes just as it was getting good. Luckily, Hulu aired all 13 episodes, but that's all we'll get. Karen Gillan as Eliza and John Cho (the first Asian-American romantic lead in a sitcom) as Henry were a perfect pair in this modern adaptation of My Fair Lady, and it was fun to see David Harewood in a comedic role after Homeland, playing the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. All the supporting characters were great, but Da 'Vine Joy Randolph was a stand-out as the company's receptionist and friend to Eliza. Yes, all these actors and writers will move on to new, maybe even better material, but there will never be another Selfie.

Situated at the southeastern tip of Florida in the state's most populous county of Miami-Dade, the city of Miami is a vibrant hub of culture and glamour. As an international city with an extremely diverse population, there are a lot of healthcare and behavioral health treatment options within the densely populated city and county.
In general, Floridians suffer from substance use and abuse at rates that are close to national averages. The Behavioral Health Barometer: Florida, 2015 reports that for 2012-2013, approximately 6 percent of Florida residents battled alcohol use or dependence while 6.5 percent of the general US population did; 2.4 percent of Floridians struggled with illicit drug abuse or dependence compared to a 2.6 percent national average.
Rates of past-year serious mental illness (SMI) were also similar to the general American population. Between 2013 and 2014, approximately 3.7 percent of Florida residents reported past-year SMI while 4.2 percent of Americans overall did.
Per the Miami-Dade County Mobilizing for Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP): 2013-2018 Community Health Priorities, Goals & Strategies, residents in Miami-Dade County were considered to be current drinkers of alcohol less often than Florida residents and the general US population (54.8 percent of Miami-Dade residents as opposed to 56.9 percent of Floridians and a national average of 58.8 percent). Binge drinking rates were higher in Miami-Dade County, however: 18.4 percent of residents engaged in past-month binge-drinking (that is drinking five or more drinks in a sitting for a man or four or more drinks for a woman) versus a statewide average of 17.1 percent and a national average of 16.7 percent.
Illicit drug use is higher in Miami-Dade County compared to national averages: 3.4 percent of Miami-Dade residents were considered to be illicit drug users as opposed to a national average of 1.7 percent.
Overall, Miami-Dade County residents tend to report their mental health state as positive though. Substance abuse, addiction, and mental health treatment programs are managed through private and public providers in Miami, which are often classified as behavioral health services.
The Annual Drug Trends Report: May 2015 publishes information regarding drug abuse and treatment admissions for Miami-Dade County based on the primary drug abused. This information can then be used to determine which drugs might be abused most often.
Prescription drug abuse, especially abuse of benzodiazepines and opioid painkillers, has been a major issue in Florida and Miami for many years. With the crackdown on "pill mills" and the reformulation of OxyContin (oxycodone) in the past decade, prescription drug diversion and abuse in the region have dropped off some; however, it is still considered to be a cause for concern in the area.
Heroin deaths jumped 167 percent in Miami-Dade County from 2011 to 2013. Heroin is often a natural progression from prescription opioid abuse. People struggling with addiction to prescription opioids may turn to the cheaper and easier-to-find alternative once prescription pain relievers become harder to get.
The E-FORCSE (Electronic-Florida Online Reporting of Controlled Substances Evaluation) keeps track of all controlled substances dispensed by treatment providers in the state to help curb prescription drug diversion and abuse as a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP).
Cocaine abuse in Southern Florida is higher than anywhere else in the nation and constitutes a major drug threat in the region, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports. As a port city on the southern tip of the United States, drug disturbers from South and Central America regularly use Miami to bring their product into the country, flooding the local streets with drugs. The Miami New Times warns that both cocaine and heroin-related overdose deaths were higher in Florida in 2017 than they had been in 15 years. In 2016, approximately 439 people died from a cocaine overdose while 139 suffered a fatal heroin overdose in Miami-Dade County.
Overdose deaths in Florida are increasing at an alarming pace.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes that they spiked nearly a quarter from 2014 to 2015. Between 2015 and 2016, heroin overdose fatalities alone rose 30 percent in Florida, 13 percent of which occurred in Miami-Dade County, the Miami New Times further reports.
Florida does have a Good Samaritan law in place to encourage people to report overdoses, helping to protect them from any personal drug-related criminal charges. The opioid overdose antidote Narcan (naloxone) is also available to anyone in Florida without a prescription and can be picked up at a local pharmacy.
Vaporizing using "vape pens" or e-cigarettes is a common way that drugs like methamphetamine and other stimulants, such as synthetic cathinones like alpha-PVP or flakka, and marijuana are abused in Miami-Dade County, the Annual Drug Trends Report: May 2015 publishes. Marijuana is a top drug of abuse in the area as it is in the rest of the US.
Injection drug use is also very common, particularly when opioids are involved. A survey of heroin treatment clients found that more than three-quarters of them reported injecting the drug while one-quarter of those struggling with opioid abuse did as well.
Injection drug abuse carries even greater risks than other methods, as it can raise the odds for a fatal overdose and increase a person's vulnerability to contracting an infectious disease, such as hepatitis or HIV/AIDS.
Miami's vibrant club scene increases access to new and trendy drugs as well. Synthetic (manmade) drugs continue to pop up in Miami and Southern Florida. As authorities crack down, they flare out, and new ones arise in their place.
One size treatment doesn't fit all. We will tailor treatment for your needs.
In Florida, and therefore in Miami as well, substance abuse and mental health treatment services are overseen by the single state authority, which is the Substance Abuse and Mental Health (SAMH) Program housed under the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) within the Florida Department of Health (DOH). Public behavioral health treatment services are handled through a regional system of care that contracts out care through one of seven different Managing Entities.
SFBHN keeps real-time tracking data called acute care services utilization(ACSU) that residents can use to find out how many beds are available in these receiving and treatment centers when looking for addiction, mental health, or detox treatment services. This is a great feature as public treatment services, which are open to anyone even if they don't have health insurance and can't afford it, often fill up fast and have waiting lists. This way, a person can tell right away if there is space available or not. The Dade County Health Department in Miami can provide information and resources on local care as well.
Treatment services are provided through a community-based system of care in Florida. They can include detox services, assessments, case management, counseling and therapy, peer support groups and programs, co-occurring disorder treatment, life skills training, medication management, relapse prevention programs, transitional services, and aftercare and recovery support. The Florida DCF reports that outpatient and residential treatment programs are offered.
Private behavioral health treatment providers in Miami must enter into an agreement, or a "memorandum of understanding," and keep up with all licensing requirements and regulations managed by the SAMH Program. The DCF keeps a list of licensed substance abuse providers for locals to use to find treatment services. The Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) can be a great resource to find specialized services as well. A list of certified recovery residences is also provided by the Florida DCF to help residents find a transitional living environment or arrangement that can be beneficial after completing a residential treatment program.
There are two laws in Florida that residents can use to ensure a loved one gets help for addiction or mental health concerns even if they don't think they need it or refuse to seek treatment on their own. The Marchmann Actand the Baker Act both allow for involuntary commitment for treatment when needed. There are also several specialty courts in Florida, such as the Miami-Dade County Drug Court, that help to ensure that people get into treatment programs as opposed to incarcerating them for nonviolent offenses when mental health or addiction concerns are present.
Community-based addiction and mental health services are often provided and offered by local coalitions and nonprofit organizations. These entities may host educational and preventative programs in schools, within the community, or at their locations. Programs are designed to improve the overall wellbeing and health of the community by providing local resources for treatment and recovery, and efforts to keep local areas drug-free. Many of these organizations work to bring about legislative change, advocate for community members, and destigmatize behavioral health concerns.

EUR/USD. The first good news that pushed the euro up, as expected, was the extraordinary Summit of European leaders on Brexit. Its positive results allowed the European currency to rise to the level of 1.1383 on Monday, November 26, after which the power over the market was seized by the dollar once again.By Wednesday, the pair began to approach the 2018 low and fell to the level of 1.1255, but then the head of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell, speaking at the New York Economic Club, suddenly declared that the interest rates on the dollar were only slightly below the neutral level!Back in October, the same person had said that the rate was far enough from this level, and a month later, it was almost at the "zero" level, at which the economy neither accelerates nor slows down. Such a speech alerted the market a little, as a result of which the Euro-bulls were able to push the pair up again: this time to the height of 1.1400. But then not so much positive statistics on the Eurozone economy were published, and the pair went down again. As a result, the total of the week can be characterized by the short word "zero": the pair completed it almost in the same place where it started; GBP/USD. The intra weekly trends of this pair are similar to those demonstrated by the EUR/USD pair. But the distrust in the pound, caused by the fears that the British Parliament may not approve the agreement on Brexit, played a role. As a result, the finish of the pair was slightly lower than the start level and, if at the beginning of the week the pound was at around 1.2810, it finished the week at the level of 1.2750; USD/JPY. Regarding the future of this pair, the opinions of experts were almost equally divided. A small margin (55%) was on the side of the bears, but when summing up the week it becomes obvious that the bulls won a victory, albeit a very small one. The pair was able to rise by about 60 points during the week, having frozen at around 113.50; Cryptocurrencies. The forecast for this market was negative, and it was 100% justified: over 80% of all coins, followed the bitcoin, having gone into a deep minus. The intrigue was only in how low the reference cryptocurrency would be able to fall together with other coins during that week.Our forecast said that the BTC/USD pair was likely to break through the level of $4,000. And it indeed dropped to $3,660, returning to $4,000 on Friday. Ethereum (ETH/USD) was seen at the horizon $102.6. The litecoin (LTC/USD) fell to $24.2 at some exchanges, and the ripple (XRP/USD) below $0.33.
GBP/USD. The pair is near the year lows zone at the moment, 1.2670-1.2695, and graphical analysis on H4, supported by more than 90% of trend indicators and oscillators, predicts their breakdown and a quick fall to the 1.2600-1.2620 zone.But the experts' opinion is not at all as clear: it is only 55% who side with the bears. And 45% are confident that the pair will not be able to renew the lows, and it will go north towards the height of 1.2900; USD/JPY. Although we would like to give a clear forecast, there are no pronounced preferences among experts for the Japanese currency either: exactly half of them have voted for the pair's growth, and exactly half are for its fall. Everyone is waiting for the results of the G20, and here the forecasts are also quite ambiguous.The indicators also behave accordingly, although most of them are colored green. As for the graphical analysis, it envisages first the growth of the pair to the level of 114.20-114.40, and then its fall, first to the support of 113.00, and then to 111.75.In a situation of such uncertainty, it is always useful to refer to a longer-term forecast. And here, 65% of analysts, following the graphical analysis, expect the yen to strengthen and the pair to fall to 112.00; Cryptocurrencies. The situation with forecasts for cryptocurrencies is complicated by the fact that it is almost impossible to estimate their real value. They are so virtual that estimates can be differ tens, hundreds or even thousands of times. It is not particularly worth it to focus on the miners' costs either, as they do not do any useful work and do not produce any material values or benefits. They only spend their time, money and electricity.Experts' forecasts look as follows at the moment: 60% expect the bitcoin to continue falling to $3,000, 30% hope that it will stay in the $4,000-4,500 range, and 10% of super optimists convince the rest that these are all the machinations of major players who, having bought cheap coins, will soon begin to push the market up.However, optimism is quickly melting, if you listen to the words of the Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huan. The head of the largest manufacturer of processors for mining has admitted that they had misjudged the prospects of the crypto market, and now his company is betting on the GPU for computing using artificial intelligence and use in unmanned vehicles.

There are only six months to go until the most promising athletes from around the world will meet in Japan for the 2020 Olympics. The use of CBD will be permitted among Olympic athletes, but will it carry a risk?
The world Anti-Doping Agency removed CBD from its list of banned substances in 2017. Since then, a large number of sporting icons, such as US footballer, Megan Rapinhoe, have discussed their use of the Cannabis derivative. Many, like golfing champion, Bubba Watson, have signed endorsement deals – particularly in the US.
Some have even gone as far as to carve out their own brand in the growing industry, like British Rugby players, Dom Day and George Kruis.
Sports stars and athletes are drawn to CBD because it may soothe anxiety, and aid in pain relief and healing. As awareness around the cannabinoid increases, so too does the number of companies incorporating the product.
However, various scandals around false advertising and product contents have triggered a backlash on the industry. In June 2019, the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) published its findings that only 38% of the 30 CBD oil products tested by a third-party lab contained within 10% of the advertised CBD content.
Similarly, in the US, the Foods and Drugs Agency (FDA) wrote to 15 CBD companies last year, regarding their products. The products were found to falsely advertise levels of the cannabinoid, and/or make false medical claims.
In a statement. the FDA claimed:
"As part of these actions, FDA has tested the chemical content of cannabinoid compounds in some of the products, and many were found to not contain the levels of CBD they claimed to contain."
The current unreliability of the CBD industry is a cause for concern for many sporting event organisers, including the Olympics. Following the World Anti-Doping Agency dropping the ingredient from its list of banned substances, PGA recommended against the use of CBD products.
While the industry remains unregulated, there remains a chance that illegal levels of THC may be present.
THC is the primary psychoactive ingredient found in the Cannabis Sativa plant. It is banned under the World Anti-Doping Agency. Athletes could face suspension and investigation if they test positive for the cannabinoid.

Q: Warning or info box in NetBeans 6.9: "x" is not a known variable in the current context I'm using NetBeans IDE 6.9 (Build 201006101454), and wrote this simple Java class (that doesn't do anything):
public class SomeClass {
    int someInt;
}

The variable "someInt" shows up in green.  When I highlight and hover over it, a tool tip box appears that says:

someInt = >"someInt" is not a known variable in the current context.<

I'm not sure what the error means, but it sounds like I'm using a variable outside of its scope -- but that can't be, because I'm just declaring it here.
The problem does not seem to affect any programs I run, but it's annoying.  And I worry that it might be a warning that I did something wrong.  I found this similar issue in a previous NetBeans release, but I'm not sure if it's related.
Can anyone tell me if this should worry me, or comfort me by confirming this is just a NetBeans bug?

A: It's a message from the debugger. A crazy mouse has probably started the debugger ; the current context is the current execution context of the debugger. I think there is a red square in the middle of the toolbar ; clic with a raisonable mouse on it, and the message disapear.

Inthe economist and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman published an article in The New York Times Magazine titled, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits."In the article, he referred to corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs as "hypocritical window-dressing," and said that businesspeople inclined toward such programs "reveal a suicidal impulse.".
Others say it's about risk. There's a good case to be made for each, as well as many other factors, but there's one angle to the innovation discussion that doesn't get as much attention as it should—integration.

Here's a better way. This is a beautiful book for business studies. Written by "farmer", use corn as a case study, having BS in Agriculture, focusing on rural sociology, but develop "diffusion of innovation" concept that widely used in technology, IT or any innovation-related business. The book contains case studies, criticism, and weakness/5(83).
Businesses are better at stifling innovation than at capitalizing on it, better at optimizing local operations than at integrating them for the good of the enterprise and its customers. Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and meet success criteria at a specified time.
The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. Good for operations, but bad for the enterprise— each following different goals.
How Does Integration Happen? Integration happens when different groups (sales, marketing, supply chain, finance) act in the pursuit of a single set of goals rather than in.

For those who have never come across a Rebel Simcard,also known as sim overlayand Turbo simcard it is a thin flexible printed circuit(FPC) with a very small micro-control unit(MCU) that allows anyone who has an iPhone 4S to use other network carriers/phone operators sim cards on that locked iPhone 4S.
Which Version of the iOS firmware & modem Does the iPhone 4 Rebel Lite Micro Sim Support ?
Those who do not have the iPhone 4S and want to install Siri on their old generation devices can use Sara (a Siri clone). Vietnamese developer has developed a new cydia tweak 'Sara' – the open virtual assistant like Siri. Sara works on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPad 1G, iPad 2, iPod touch 4G. The graphic and user interface of Sara is almost the same as Siri.
Step 1: Jailbreak your iOS device. If you haven't jailbroken your iPhone 4 or iPad 2 yet, you may follow our iPad 2 on 5.0.1 on both Windows and Mac using Greenpois0n Absinthe. iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, iPad 1G can be jailbroken on 5.0.1 using redsn0w 0.9.10b5. For firmware less than iOS 5, you can use redsn0w tool. The app can be installed on older iOS device with WhiteD00r 5.1 installed.
Select the right version of Sara app that matches your iOS device. You can select Console, to send Sara crash logs to developer for troubleshooting.
Step 7: Respring and reboot your iOS device and you are good to go.

iOS 5.0.1 final public release hit a few hours ago and hackers have updated the jailbreak tools as well.
Sn0wbreeze can preserve your current baseband and update your device to iOS 5.0.1. Remember, the latest redsn0w version can do the same but for some reason people still opt for Sn0wbreeze.
If you have already updated to the iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1 without preservation of the baseband then this solution cannot help.
check in about page and if you have a baseband of 04.10.08 then this will not work for you.
Apple, ahead of iOS and iCloud launch has released iTunes 10.5 final version to the public. iOS 5 and iCloud will be released tomorrow or somewhere this week as promised by Apple.
Remember, you need iTunes 10.5 to update your device to iOS 5 and enjoy all the iOS 5 features as well as the iCloud. Wi-Fi Syncing is finally here, and you'll be able to Sync your device over the air without connecting your device. So download iTunes 10.5 today and get yourself ready for iOS 5.
5. From the settings choose wisely the stuff you need. Go to Expert Mode for "preserve your baseband" option if you are a rebel micro sim user.
6. Wait for Sn0wbreezed to cook the custom iOS 5.0.1 file.
7. Open iTunes 10.5, connect your device and use "Shift + Restore" button and give it the custom iOS 5.0.1 beta 1 file you cooked earlier (should be on your desktop).
8. Wait for iTunes to restore the device to iOS 5.0.1 custom .ipsw file.
9. Activate your phone with an orignal simcard from the network it was locked when sold and you are ready unlock with rebel micro simcards after activation is complete.
10. Point to note when unlocking iOs 5.01. in the instructions all is the same but at the point when the rebel menu loads and you press accept and in the top left hand corner of the screen you wont see the one bar like this . . instead you will see the message no service. proceed in the same way as in the user guide and all will work and get network.
11. You can use other tools also to perform the baseband downgrade to 04.10.01 on a mac and use tools like redsnow.

Q: Permissions denied on sql query I'm trying to execute the following query through classic asp recordset -
SQL = "Select P_Name as P_Name, P_Description as P_Description
       from L_PagePermission
       inner join A_Permission on p_permissionID = pp_PermissionID
       inner join A_Page on P_PageID = PP_PageID
       where P_PageID = 85
       order by p_Name"

Although I've ran into a problem with permissions. So the error that i am receiving is -

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC
  Drivers error '80040e09'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
  Driver][SQL Server]SELECT permission
  denied on object 'A_Permission',
  database 'HRWB_3_0', schema 'dbo'.

How would I go about executing this query without changing permission settings. How can I do this with a stored procedure? (Can someone provide an example too)
I can't change the database settings I have to deal with what I got. I've looked through a lot of the websites files and it seems to be mostly dependent on stored procedures.

A: You're not going to be able to get around that permissions error unless you grant select access on the L_PagePermission and A_Permission tables to the login that you are using to connect to the database, or unless you use a different login that already has select access to those tables.
Another approach would be to write a new stored procedure and grant EXECUTE access to that stored procedure.  The SQL to grant permissions in either case is simple:
To grant SELECT access to a table:
GRANT SELECT ON [TableName] TO [loginName]
To grant EXECUTE access to a stored procedure:
GRANT EXECUTE ON [procedureName] TO [loginName]
One more approach that could work but has obvious security implications is to add the login you are using to the db_owner role for that database. That should work, but is NOT recommended unless you are comfortable with the security risks that presents.

A: If you don't have permission to select from the table, there won't be any way to work around the absence of permission other than connecting to the DBMS as a user who has permission to select from the table.  That's the point of the permissions system - to prevent the unauthorized from doing what they are not allowed to do.

epilepsy in Kenya
Home/Tag:epilepsy in Kenya
In a move to improve health services at our Epilepsy clinics, KAWE has launched its second fully operative clinic at the Karen Health center. Previously, the clinic was been operating within the health center's premises but now will have its own secluded and self sufficient area within the grounds, this is with support from Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF). Among the speakers were Dr Sahra Mohamed (Ministry of Health Langata Sub-County), Mr Greg Miyanga (County Partnership Coordinator-Health services), Dr Owiti representing Dr Mahat J Mohammed(Chief Officer of Health services), Ms Stella Chege (KCDF), Mr David Moturi (National Council for The Persons with Disabilities), Ms Mary Kinyajui (In Charge of Karen Health Centre facility ) Mr Kitonyo (a Community Health Workers' representative, Langata) and KAWE's member of the Board Mr K'Anjejo, As an introduction, Dr Mohammed talked about the goals that the Sub county health putting in pace in terms of surveillance, health and education, support of the Beyond zero campaign, TB patient coordination and follow up. She mentioned the fact that some programmes have been at a stall at the health center due to lack of space. Mr K'Anjejo next gave a brief of the existing epilepsy education gap which is the reason why in spite of the 5000 patients registered at the Karen clinic, only 2000 are active. KAWE has continued to counter this through continued health operator's training, in order to gunner support in the case of defaulting patients. He raised the question of the best mode of assistance that can be accorded to people living with epilepsy. Is it by giving them jobs? He thanked the Nairobi County for provision of the grounds and had a request that just as funds are being driven into other immediate illnesses, the same be done for epilepsy. On behalf of KAWE he thanked the NCWPD for the partnership in registration of people with epilepsy and brought up the point of the need to adjust assessment practices. "A person with epilepsy may look as normal as the next person, so please consider that." Mr Miyanga spoke about the different types of epilepsy and the need for parents to be very observant of their children. "The widely known type of epilepsy is status epilepticus which in most cases is as a result of mismanagement." He also challenged the Kenyan public to do more to help epilepsy patients, " there is no point of just staring at the person or recording a video to post on social media, help the person." "Each one must do something worthwhile on earth before going to the grave." He said. To KAWE, he exhorted them to ensure the anti- convulsants are available at the health center so they can be accessible even on non clinic days. Dr Owiti spoke on the need for health centers to focus on the vulnerable in the society. He called on partners to support the epilepsy mandate along with a bill that will support the people on the ground, that is the Community Health Volunteers through provision of a monthly stipend. Mr Moturi spoke on the need for the media to pick up real stories such as this one, on the availability of weekly epilepsy clinics, of success stories of people with epilepsy patients. He called on Community Based Organizations (CBO's), faith based organizations and individuals. "The fact is, international donors are pulling out, they know we can pull our weight. You don't have to give much because even giving a person with epilepsy some cash for his bus fare to the clinic or some lunch money makes you a donor." Ms Kinyajui led the ribbon cutting and the revealing of the brand new facility. Looking forward to other great events such as these. picking up the reports Dr Owiti's speech New beginnings are always better with cake. […]

https://www.profitconfidential.com/stock-market/how-to-profit-from-china-stock-market-corrections/ Chinese Stock Market Correction Ahead? Here's How to Profit George Leong, B.Comm. Profit Confidential 2015-03-06T06:06:16Z 2015-08-24 06:09:01 The china stock market correction in 2015 is coming and you can profit from it and reduce the risk. Stock Market https://www.profitconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/China-Stock-Market.jpg China is in the news, but not for good reasons. While the Chinese stock market continues to blaze along in 2015, outperforming our domestic markets, the associated risk is high. While I like China in the long-term, I have not been zealously into Chinese stocks for a while, from neither an investment nor a trading standpoint. For me, there have been much better trading opportunities in the domestic stock market and the risk is lower here than trading Chinese stocks. In China, you just never know what you will get, whether it's fraud, sudden changes in regulation, or even suspect numbers produced by the government.
Take the case of the Chinese Internet star Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA). At its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) back in September, the stock was hyped up as the best company to come out of China. But since then, it has been on a rocky road, with the stock declining to a low of $80.03 on Tuesday. The problem with Alibaba may or may not be true, but the issue of reliability continues to be a problem when analyzing Chinese companies. We have seen this in the past with U.S.-listed Chinese companies, especially those via the rather sketchy world of pink sheets and over-the-counter (OTC) stocks. In the case of Alibaba, there are allegations of "brushing" occurring at web sites operated by the company. This implies what is known as fake orders initiated by the web sites to give the appearance of rising orders, thereby driving up the company's valuation. Of course, nothing has yet been proven, but I recall the old saying, "where there is smoke, there is fire." The risk in China is not only with reliability, but there are clearly concerns regarding the condition of the Chinese economy, specifically the financial and real estate sectors. The People's Bank of China just cut its interest rates for the second time over the past few months in an attempt to inject liquidity into the economy that is obviously hurting. The Chinese government cut its projected gross domestic product (GDP) growth target to seven percent for this year. In reality, the economy may already be growing at a rate less than seven percent, it just depends on whether you trust the numbers. We are seeing some froth in the Chinese capital markets. Another 24 IPOs were approved for the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets. We are also seeing more stock brokerage firms surfacing in the country, which is a red flag given the gains this year.
Two ways to play the froth and a potential market correction in Chinese stocks is to consider buying put options on several available U.S.-listed, China-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or to short the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite (SSE) if you have access to the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect through your broker.
