Ultima IX Again January 2, 2007	Anthony Salter
Game DesignGames
Sorry for revisiting this topic, but this was just too good to leave as a comment:
"WAAHH!–Ultima IX is awful–They ruined my game!"
…ENOUGH ALREADY!
It's been 7 years, and I still hear mostly negativity toward this game. I apologize for using this forum to vent, but being that Veridian actually worked for Origin, I feel that I could at least get the benefit of the doubt here. My experience with U9 was a good one, and it holds a very special place in my heart for a number a resons. The game is still on *my* harddrive too, and I still find myself going back to it time and again.
It's always the case that the negative voice is strongest, so let me go on record as being the first one to say–I found no major crash bugs in Ultima IX. Now, I think that's because I was an Origin fan for years, and I was already used to heeding their words–when they said 'UPGRADE', I followed their advice as law, and I was never disappointed (well, there *was* that 'Cyberman 3-D controller' recommendation…but I'm not gonna get into that right now) 🙂
Having all the required CPU, RAM, and Video Card recommendations, there were no speed issues either, although I (unlike the nay-sayers) did not expect 30fps in an RPG. I glided thru Britian with a very respectable 9 FPS, and was delighted that I could set the view/graphics distances at maximum.
The plot-stopping bugs were fixed by the time I got to them, and I patched, and had NO PROBLEMS. There was a crash here and there, but I expected that from such a state-of-the-art game.
I will admit that the voice acting for the Avatar could've been a bit better, and that the plotline was not as deep as other games in the series, but I submit that U9 WAS and Ultima, and better than most computer gaming experiences I've ever had.
Joe Garrity
I think I'm just going to let that stand as the ultimate rebuttal to my earlier remarks.

Dave Shramek says:
Wow. Nine FPS? I can't stand less than 20. It causes me levels of frustration not seen since Curly of the Three Stooges. I expect faster response times, even if I'm just moving my character around. There is nothing respectable about 9 frames per second. That means it's broken. It is like saying that your car runs on a very respectable 2 out of 4 wheels most of the time.
Joe G says:
I respectfully disagree with your statement. A low framerate in an RPG is different than a low framerate in an FPS. I agree that an FPS needs a high framerate in order to be playable. But it's not a necessity for traveling thru an RPG (In my opinion). Never, I say, NEVER did I fail to get the drop on an enemy in U9 because the framerate was low. I also didn't get frustrated with traveling–things never felt too slow to play it–I had that feeling in Ultima 7 MANY times—but you never hear anyone complain about that.
It doesn't mean it's broken–it means that you wanted Quake 2 in your Ultima.
Not '2 out of 4 wheels on your car'–more like:
"My Vokswagon Fox doesn't go over 95MPH–it must be BROKEN!"
My opinion is–it wasn't DESIGNED to be a Ferarri–it's a practical car–enjoy the view–experience life–and have some fun. 🙂
You know, I really should get my forums up so you guys can flame each other on subjects like this good and proper.


Feb 7, 2019 - Our digital footprints now influence nearly all of the information we see, making the question of ethics in business and marketing much more salient. To wrestle with this fraught topic, Justin enlists the help of two UM colleagues – Dr. John Chandler, marketing professor and data science practitioner, and Dr. Christopher Preston, philosophy professor and ethicist. Together they open up about 30 doors in a wide-ranging conversation.


Colour photographs didn't become available until the early 1900s and wasn't widespread until Kodachrome after the late 1930s — which leaves much of our photographic history in black and white. Recolouring old photographs can bring new levels of detail into historic images, whether that's of family members or town events. But is recolouring photos really that simple? Here are four reasons to consider recolouring your old photos.
Simply put, recolouring restores an old photograph. Before the recolouring process can even start, that image has to be repaired, fixing scratches and tears as well as correcting the fade that happens naturally over time. A photo must be restored before it can be recoloured.
Once a photo is recoloured today, you now have multiple copies of that image. An original, a restored copy, and a restored coloured copy. That in itself is a reason to recolour, since it's much harder to loose three copies of an image than one. Once you have the digital file, you can also back the image up on a cloud platform for safekeeping, a great practice for any images that are special to you or your family.
Recolouring old photos is more accurate than you think.
The reason recolouring old photos isn't an easy choice is that accuracy is questioned — once you recolour an image, isn't in inaccurate? Is it possible to get the colours right when recolouring old photos? Those are all very valid concerns, but recolouring old photos is actually more accurate than you'd think.
First, recolour artists research. They get as much information as possible about the specific people, objects and other items in the image. When that information isn't possible to get, research into the time period helps create more accurate recolouring. And even more importantly, recolouring artists understand how to read the light in the image, so even the time of day and weather feels accurate. Fun fact — before coloured film, painters would recolour black and white images.
Recolouring old photos brings out more details.
Details are often lost in the monochrome. When converted, greens and reds look similar, for example. When two differently coloured objects convert to the same shade in black and white, those smaller details are lost. Recoloured images create more contrast, making those details suddenly pop when they were lost in the shades of grey before.
Recolouring old photos isn't meant to destroy the original image.
Most of all, recolouring images isn't designed for you to toss out that original image — it's designed to supplement that image. Recolouring old photos is an excellent way to restore old images, but that restoration allows you to have the intact image in both colour and black and white. You can have your cake and eat it too — or in this case, keep that original faded film and view that same photo in a new light with recolouring.
Recolouring old photographs brings out the details that are otherwise overlooked or forgotten. Recoloured, restored photos make excellent gifts and lifelong family keepsakes.


The pursuit of happiness is something that should be in everyone's daily schedule. Learning optimism and perspective is one of the greatest lessons that anyone can be taught, but for some people it may be more difficult. Happiness can be a decision and a mindset.
1. Understand that memories make you happier than purchases.
You feel excitement when you make money or buy something new, but that excitement soon fades. The possession has now simply become part of your routine. Compare that to an amazing experience or memory you had, whether it be a trip or when you and your best friend couldn't stop laughing. The happiness from recalling great memories continues to repeat itself.
2. Cut negative people out of your life.
If someone in your life consistently causes you more stress than joy, then they are holding you back from reaching your potential happiness. These "toxic" friends can be people that you are close to, making it more difficult to break away from them because of your strong bond. I encourage you to closely evaluate these relationships; friends should make you happier, not ruin your day. While it may be daunting to do, it will be worth it in the long run.
3. Open up to people.
Talking to someone is the best way to address your problems head on. Whether you're talking to a friend, counselor or therapist, having someone to listen and respond to your problems is the best way to find a solution. While it may be difficult to open up to someone, identify one person that you trust and whose opinion you value so you can gradually begin to sort through your problems. Having someone that understands your problems will take a huge weight off of you so you don't feel as alone.
4. Refrain from useless complaining.
5. Re-evaluate your social media.
If you are the kind of person that is constantly feeling bad when comparing yourself to others, then you might want to consider cutting down or eliminating your social media usage. Social media can make it seem like everyone else is happier than you. In reality, these other people are most likely struggling with the same anxieties as you are. If this is a problem for you, end the cycle by adjusting the time you spend on social media.
6. Invest in your passions and guilty pleasures.
The quickest way to make yourself happy is by doing things you enjoy doing. You only have so much time in your day, and when it is not being spent at school, it should be put towards your passions. Rather than doing what other people think you should be doing, focus on what interests you. For example, if you hate ballet and would rather play soccer, don't let other people's expectations stand in the way of doing what you truly want to. In the end, you'll be happier.
The best way to put things behind you is to accept what happened and move on. Don't waste your energy holding grudges because in the end, they will hurt you more than they hurt the other person. Learn to cherish your past and view them as learning experiences rather than mistakes.
Expressing gratitude is effective for two reasons: it forces you to verbalize what you are grateful for and it makes another person happy who is receiving your gratitude. Dr. Robert A. Emmons conducted an experiment for his book "Thanks!" and concluded that expressing gratitude can improve your happiness by 25 percent. By simply expressing gratitude toward someone, you can increase your own happiness, as well as theirs.
9. Be yourself, no matter what anyone says.
Once you learn to end the inner struggle of wanting to act as yourself but not wanting to be judged, you will find peace. You will find the people who appreciate you for being yourself and you will be continually rewarded. The energy you put toward avoiding judgement will be spent on enjoying yourself and the people around you.

La Fanera és una masia de la Cellera de Ter (Selva) inclosa a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Masia que consta de dues plantes i golfes, coberta amb una teulada a dues aigües de vessants a laterals i amb un ràfec format per dues fileres de rajola plana superposades.

La planta baixa destaca el gran portal adovellat d'accés, d'arc de mig punt, amb unes dovelles de grans dimensions i molt ben escairades. Simultàniament, el portal està flanquejat per dues obertures, una per banda, emmarcades amb rajola.

En el primer pis o planta noble, trobem tres obertures de similar tipologia, és a dir: tres finestres rectangulars, equipades amb llinda monolítica conformant un arc pla, muntants de pedra ben escairats i ampit treballat. De les tres, destaca especialment la finestra central tant per la seva mida -sensiblement major en comparació amb les dues que la flanquejen- com per a l'interessant inscripció que es pot llegir en el dintell, i que diu així: "AVEMARIASIN + PECADOCONCEBIDA / 1 7 0 2".

Tanmateix aquesta finestra central no és l'única que està ornada i complementada amb una inscripció, ja que les dues finestres que la flanquejen, en concret la de la seva dreta, també disposa d'una inscripció interessant: "JOAN. DALMAU. Y FANERA / 1 7 + 2 1".

Pel que fa al segon pis, aquest executaria les tasques de golfes i s'ha traduït en la façana en una rústica obertura d'arc de mig punt.

Coronant l'edifici trobem un teulat, que arran del bon aspecte de conservació que presenta, tot fa pensar i apunta que és de factura bastant recent.

Pel que fa a la qüestió dels materials, tot el protagonisme el monopolitza la pedra, en concret, els còdols de riu sense desbastar i treballar, acaparant així tot l'espai físic de l'immoble. Tanmateix aquest ritme compositiu es veu parcialment interromput per la pedra sorrenca, concentrada en parts puntuals com ara en les dovelles del portal d'accés i en els muntants de les tres obertures de la planta noble.

Dos elements interessants a destacar, els quals ens indiquen la filiació i dedicació tradicional de la masia a les tasques agrícoles i ramaderes serien la presència de dos pallers. El primer el trobem adossat en la part posterior de l'immoble i el segon immediatament al davant.

Història
Les masies de la Cellera de Ter es poden classificar en tres grups. Per les seves característiques intrínseques la masia de la Fanera l'enquadraríem dins d'un segon grup, el més nombrós. Aquest segon grup correspon als masos que presenten unes reformes i ampliacions que van des de la darreria del 1500 a les acaballes del 1600. És l'època de les grans portalades dovellades, dels finestrals gòtics lobulats i de les finestres senzilles i renaixentistes sense decoració.

D'aquesta manera trobem La Fanera (al Pladevall), can Dalmau (a la vila), i can Clos (al Plademunt). Totes tres són famílies importants que prenen part activa en la vila del poble i que unides finalment per lligams familiars passen a mans de la família Clos, la qual abandona el mas nadiu per anar a viure a can Dalmau, a la plaça.

Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith
Firebird, 2002 (1997)
This current reprint combines two previously published books, Crown Duel and Court Duel, for double the reading thrills. The stories read like a combination of the fast-paced action of The Prisoner of Zenda and one of Georgette Heyer's charming historical romances.
The barefoot, and barely literate, Countess Meliara is an endearingly impulsive heroine in a very untenable situation, which her brother Branaric ruefully sums up as 'A countess wearing a horse blanket and a count who hates fighting, leading a war against a wicked king who has the largest army the kingdom has ever known.' They must take on this tyrant since they have proof that 'greedy Galdran' intends to break the Covenant, made long since between the people of Remelna and the magical, tall, graceful and still Hill Folk. In exchange for their not cutting down the remarkable colortrees, the Hill Folk provide every person in the realm with Fire Sticks each autumn to see them through the winter.
Mel and Bran do take their people to war, succeeding in guerilla attacks against a much larger force until the king sends as new commander the Marquis of Shevraeth. Unfortunately, despite a reputation as a fop and a gambler, he turns out to be dangerously competent. Mel takes a risk with disastrous consequences, that lead her to a series of humiliating captures and cross-country escapes. Along the way she learns some lessons about what matters to the common folk, and finds that she has to 'clean out of my mind the fester caused by anger and hatred' against someone important to the revolution, whom she has misjudged. Appalled by her lack of knowledge, Mel sets out to educate herself.
This first enthralling adventure ends in a success won by others as much as by Mel and Bran. In the second, Mel is drawn to court at Athanarel by her brother's approaching marriage. Though she learns the subtle language of fans, Mel is by no means remade into a Court lady, but her own refreshing directness makes her a popular success. Dangers lurk close below the surface of manners and conversation as Mel attempts to assess whom she should support as the new ruler. And though she is courted by many, she values most the honest letters exchanged with a secret admirer. But it's not all court life. This second tale has plenty of action leading to another climactic ending, in which our heroine again rushes into danger, this time in defence of her beloved Hill Folk.
The romantic ending is enhanced by a previously unpublished short story that carries the tale just a little further. Mel is a delightful and strong heroine, 'Quick to laugh, quick to act - and much to quick to judge', but unafraid to admit her mistakes and to learn from them. Crown Duel is a totally engrossing fantasy for young and old; don't miss it!

To celebrate May's Celiac Awareness Month, Stephanie Pose, Retail Dietitian for the ShopRite of Passaic-Clifton in New Jersey held a "Gluten-Free Expo" in-store, May 3-4. To prepare for the event, Stephanie contacted various gluten-free vendors and received support from Schar's, Bai Beverages, Mary's Gone Crackers, Bob's Red Mill, Glutino, Dr. Praeger's, Bakery on Main, Amy's, Lisante Almond Cheese, The Real Deal, Love Beets, Hint Water, Bolthouse Farms, and Eat Well Embrace Life Hummus. Vendors provided product to sample, coupons, product literature, and giveaways for the Expo, and Glutino provided raffle ticket entry forms for a free giveaway basket.
Stephanie promoted the event by creating an ad for the store's circular, as well as local newspapers such as the Clifton Journal and Clifton Magazine. In addition, large banner signs were created and displayed in the front and exit entrance of the store. Stephanie recorded a message to be repeated in the store overhead speakers for approximately two weeks leading up to the event. She dealt with space constraints by setting up a few tables in front of her store's customer service desk. Each table was decorated with balloons and colorful tablecloths. Approximately 150 customers passed by the tables throughout the entire weekend. Vendors provided enough samples for 150-200 customers.

Picking a dance school for your child can be complicated, and there is a huge amount of information on the internet. Here are a few tips that we think will help you find the best dance school for your child.

-is it convenient to school/home for your dancer?
-is this where your child's friend's/peers are attending?
-are the times that classes for your child available workable with your schedule?
-are the students committed for the entire year, or only for a month at a time?
-are their recitals or other performances that are extra time or cost for your child to participate?
-are there additional time commitment for parents and students outside of classes, like competitions, fund-raising, trips, etc?
-are all performances and competitions required?
-is the teacher's type of teaching compatible with your student?
-is the level of dance for your age group where you want your child to be (we suggest watching some old recital videos)?
-is your child's interest taught at this studio (Tap? Ballet? Jazz? Hip Hop? Clogging? combo or sampler classes may be best for younger dancers)?
-does the studio provide or encourage opportunities for outside training, from outside teachers, master classes, workshops, etc?
-are there opportunities for make up of missed classes?
-Read the web site for teacher biographies, class times, classes offered, and dress codes.
-where have most of the teachers trained, and for how long?
-is there a dress code or requirement that you can keep up with?
-try to schedule a time to watch a class (some studios allow parents to watch through two way mirrors).
-ask around!! with so many dance schools and dance students, you can usually find a parent who has taken classes at any studio or dance school.

The laptop is way cool, it's nice and tiny, feels durable and has great reception. It could be a little snappier speed-wise, but if every kid in the world had one of these things it be interesting to see where we are in another 10-20 years (even just 5 years). Heck, if every adult had one (and learned to use it) it'd be interesting to see where we'd be.
I want to start a school and have every kid have one of these.
I want to have some more so I can see better how it'll work collaboratively with kids.
I want to get 3,500 of these, one for every kid in my school district.
I want to reinstall linux on it so I just have a little linux machine running everything that I want on it, the way I want it.
I'm so excited about all the possible options for this!

Q: A modular arithmetic notation having same attributes with an equation How can you prove that $f$, a function given piecewise depending on the value of its input modulo some number, has the same attributes as $g$, a function given directly by an equation?
For example, define $f(x) = x^2$ if $x \equiv 1 \pmod{2}$, and $f(x) = x + 1$ if $x \equiv 0 \pmod{2}$.
Then I transform the modular arithmetic notation into $$g(x) = (x^{1 + x \ \mathrm{mod}\ 2} )+(1 - (x \ \mathrm{mod}\  2))$$
I don't know if it is possible and if it possible what kind of proving technique should I used.

A: In that particular example, first show that $g(x) = f(x)$ for every $x \equiv 0 \pmod{2}$, and then show that $g(x) = f(x)$ for every $x \equiv 1 \pmod{2}$. That covers all possible inputs to $g$ and $f$.
For example: if $x$ is even, then $$g(x) = x^{1+0} + (1-0) = x+1 = f(x)$$
If $x$ is odd, then $$g(x) = x^{1+1} + (1-1) = x^2 = f(x)$$

In order to take your $f$ and produce a corresponding $g$, the simplest thing that occurred to me was to define $$g(x) = (x \ \mathrm{mod} \ 2) x^2 + (1-(x \ \mathrm{mod} \ 2)) (x+1)$$
This also works. The clearest way to define a function is usually piecewise, though: in your question, the definition of $f$ is much, much more readable (and probably more useful in almost all circumstances) than the definition of $g$.

The Tragedy of a Former Syrian Officer Seeing his Family Expelled from Denmark
Friday April 16th, 2021 by AL-ARABIA NET (Pan-Arab Saudi Network)
The story of a former Syrian army officer sheds new light on the plight of Syrians forced home from Denmark, writes Al-Arabia Net.
The Danish authorities have come under great criticism for their denial of residency permits for Syrian refugees, and their insistence on sending them back to their country, considering that the situation in Damascus is "safe" and therefore, they can return and reside there without prosecution, harassment or fear.
The story of Mazen Kirwan, a Syrian officer who defected from the regime's army, reveals other details of the crisis, as he tells Al-Arabiya.net that he fled Syria and the Syrian army, where he served as an officer in the Special Tasks Unit, due to sectarian strife in the army. It is the gimmick used by the president of the regime, Bashar al-Assad, to suppress the demonstrations and the peaceful revolution. He then went with his family, his wife, and daughter, to Lebanon, and from there, he sent them to Europe to search for a safe place away from the danger and the specter of war.
Kiwan added that he remained in Lebanon until his wife and daughter were able to obtain asylum and residency in Europe, after which he could join them according to the family reunification law.
The officer revealed that his wife, upon her arrival in Denmark, obtained humanitarian asylum, which is a system that does not allow any privileges and does not allow the family to be brought in according to the family reunification law, indicating that he made numerous and incessant attempts to travel. He managed to join them a year and a half later.
Kiwan said that when his wife and daughter traveled to Denmark, his daughter was a month old, and his wife took the baby, alongside other Syrians, on a grueling journey from Libya to Algeria, and from there across the sea in a small boat with dozens of people to Italy, all the way to Denmark.
He said that after five years of residing in Denmark with the family, his wife was surprised by a letter from the authorities asking her to return with her daughter to Damascus because the capital and the surrounding areas are now safe and there are no traces of war, terrorism or terrorists, adding that she was informed that she and her daughter can travel to Syria and stay there without prosecution because the Syrian regime pledged not to harm the families of dissidents, peaceful activists, and opponents.
Kiwan added that the decision was taken after a report was issued by a Danish committee that traveled to Syria to evaluate the situation there. Based on the report, it was recommended to return the Syrians to their country, stressing that the committee did not visit eastern Ghouta to see what was happening there.
He stated that the decision will separate the family, as he and his son will remain in Denmark and his wife and daughter will return to Syria, calling for a solution to his problem and the problem of thousands of Syrians who face his same suffering or to allow them to go to Sweden in order to protect their families and their lives.

In part one of this two-part series, I argued that the Australian Army must make Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations part of the strategic plan for how the Australian Army prepares for the future. Here I will show how Army can use its health assets to prepare a capable and well-equipped force that is both ready now and future-ready within the concept of Accelerated Warfare.
The Australian Army needs to consider how it will prepare a future-ready force that is capable of delivering HADR effects. We need to start planning how to intellectually prepare our people, how to implement existing technology and how to prepare for future technology. The likely frequency of natural disasters in Australia's region will also present an opportunity to prove new and developing technologies under operational conditions.
Responding to the future requirements of HADR preparedness, it is important that Army's Health Professionals (AHP) have the experience and training to effectively plan and respond to disasters. AHPs need to be capable of operating as part of a joint force and being interoperable with other government agencies, non-government and international organisations and coalition partners. While there are currently ADF secondments to DFAT, further secondments or internships for AHPs to DFAT and their partner organisations such as the Australian Medical Assistance Team and DFAT approved Non-Government Organisations would enhance interoperability and WoG synergy.
The Australian Army can improve HADR responses through the use of existing new technologies in the areas of telemedicine and drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology. During disaster events, one of the greatest challenges is communication and the inability to collect, analyse and communicate important information. Morbidity and mortality can be improved through the accuracy and timeliness of information. Telemedicine during HADR operations has the potential to save lives and improve health outcomes in areas of operations where health services and infrastructure have been damaged, destroyed or overwhelmed. The improvements in electronic and communications technology now make use of telemedicine in remote areas a possibility, and one which could be leveraged by AHPs to improve HADR operations. Once proved in HADR these technologies can be transferred to other types of operations.
The potential use of telemedicine during HADR operations is significant and can act as a force multiplier by enabling the limited specialists and medical officers the ability to deliver health effects in multiple places at once. The information gathered through telemedicine also possesses the potential to support disaster needs assessment and triaging during times where medical support will be in high demand.
Drones and UAVs are other existing and rapidly developing technology with broad potential for use in support of HADR operations. Most disaster-affected areas will have suffered significant damage to infrastructure, resulting in impassable roads and inoperable rail networks. This is a complicating factor in providing aid to affected regions. During disaster events, there is an increased need for both blood and pharmaceuticals at a time when supply is critically affected. Drones and UAVs have the potential to quickly and easily deliver medical supplies in a timely fashion to areas in urgent need. Items such as blood products and pharmaceuticals could be delivered to mass casualty locations, outlying health facilities and either to or from offshore ships.
While telemedicine, UAVs and drone technology exist now, the two scientific advances that are expected to profoundly affect societies and militaries in the future are robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Australian Army needs to be acting now so it can progress towards having effective future AI. AI's foreseeable benefit for HADR operations is the synthesis of data to predict impending disaster effects to support preparations and planning. AI could also analyse and model disaster-affected areas to determine the priority of need or effort, predict areas at risk of a disease outbreak, and to build a greater understanding of the operating environment through synthesised analysis of physical and human terrain.
In November 1957, an article was written in the Hammond Times titled Work With New Electronic Brains Opens Field for Army Math Experts. The article discussed how U.S. Army computer programmers were using mathematical formulas programmed into computers to solve complex problems. That is where the now famous saying computer saying of 'garbage in, garbage out' or GIGO comes from. This was a problem that computer programmers were facing and discussing in the very early stages of computer development. The same problem exists 61 years later. How does the Australian Army capture high-quality operational data now to ensure that future AI systems have the required knowledge to leverage an advantage?
The statistics on the frequency of disaster events in the Australian region demonstrate that the Australian government, the ADF and the Australian Army will undertake multiple HADR operations before AI technology is operationally capable. The data captured and stored from those disaster events will be what supports AI decisions and recommendations 10 to 30 years from now.
Given the frequency of HADR operations is likely to increase, development of a near and far term plan to make the Australian Army a more capable HADR force is a necessity. Greater interagency cooperation, implementation of existing new technology, and data capturing now for future AI systems are all examples of how the Australian Army can become a more future-ready force. While this article is focussed on the importance of being prepared for HADR operations, it is easy to conclude that the advantages gained from WoG synergy and technological advancement in reoccurring HADR operating environments will be transferrable to future combat operations.

Former Debate Moderators Anderson Cooper and Megyn Kelly Pile on CNBC
Call it a campaign-season miracle: For the past 24 hours, conservatives and liberals have been united in their criticism of CNBC and debate moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick, and John Harwood. One might expect moderators from previous debates to have some sympathy for their colleagues, but CNN's Anderson Cooper and Fox News's Megyn Kelly just couldn't resist piling on. "I certainly think those moderators gave them a lot of ammunition and really made it very easy, because I do think some of the questions just seemed kind of obvious ones that they could be attacked on," Cooper said during his Thursday night show, adding that the debate was "poorly produced" and the moderators "didn't even have the quotes to back up what they were saying."
AC did note that when he moderated the Democratic presidential debate, he got a "flood of emails from liberals" who accused him of being too tough on Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. "Bias is in the eye of the beholder," he said. Panelists Brian Stelter and David Gergen both rushed to point out that Cooper actually got high marks for his debate performance.
Kelly offered real-time criticism, tweeting about Quick backing down to her old foe Trump, even though Quick was right.
This is why u never ask a Q like this w/o having your source material at the ready. https://t.co/PsEzpesUhr
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) October 29, 2015
Not Quick enough. https://t.co/HtGiU1oJ6Y
Kelly's post-debate wrap up on Wednesday night was filled with literal head-shaking. She called the whole thing "uncomfortable to watch," and joked that perhaps the moderators are secret Republicans. "They were trying to unite the Republican party by being the foil!" Kelly said.
It seems that after tangling with Trump for weeks after the first GOP debate, one CNBC–bashing segment wasn't enough catharsis for Kelly. On Thursday night's Kelly File, she assembled a panel of nearly 30 voters from across the political spectrum, who all had more negative comments about CNBC.
Quick and Quintanilla had little to say about the debate, but Harwood tweeted:
moderating GOP debate in 2015 enriched my understanding of challenges @SpeakerBoehner has faced and @RepPaulRyan will face
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) October 29, 2015
last night reminded me of '88 Indiana trip when Bush campaign put our press avail w/Quayle on loudspeakers so hometown crowd could boo us.
In an interview on MSNBC's Hardball With Chris Matthews, Harwood suggested the backlash wasn't really about the moderators' performance anyway. "There were a lot of conservatives before the debate who were urging them to go hard after the media, and that's what they did," he said.

Austin—Phunware, which makes mobile apps for multinational corporations, announced Wednesday that it has raised $22 million.
The funding brings the company $10 million shy of its goal of $50 million for its Series F round. The investment was led by Khazanah Nasional Berhad, the strategic investment fund of the government of Malaysia; Wavemaker Partners; and PLDT Capital, the investment arm of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company.
The round includes additional capital from previous investors Fraser McCombs Capital, Maxima Ventures, WWE, Central Texas Angel Network, and Baylor Angel Network, among others. The investment brings the total raised by Phunware since inception to $90 million, the company reported in a press release.
Phunware's customers include NASCAR, Jawbone, E! Entertainment, ESPN, and Qualcomm, each of which uses what the company calls its "Mobile as a Service" platform that allows companies to interact with consumers in more than 190 countries and in 10-plus languages.
"This funding will help turn every one of our global application touch points into an opportunity to reach, engage with, and convert users on a 1:1 basis, and will further our vision of having every device in the Internet of Things touch the Phunware platform by 2020," Alan Knitowski, the CEO and co-founder of Phunware, said in a press release.


By definition entrepreneurs are not quitters. We persevere, push through barriers and succeed. But the most successful know when it's time to quit.
When I say quit, I don't mean throwing in the towel and giving up. That's not it at all. It's deciding to go a different direction.
We can often get caught up in the well thought-out plan but sometimes, actually, often times, change is good. Those who can embrace the change are the ones who will achieve their goals.
You won't get it right on the first try. Whatever IT is for you. Whether you're a solopreneur, a start-up or managing a big business, you will make mistakes. It's what happens. You have to be ready to shift, to pivot.
Stanford Graduate School of Business Lecturer Robert Chess says there are signs when you need to pivot and ways to manage the process to help you not only survive but thrive.
Turn on the news and watch spokespeople and commentators. They pivot on a daily basis. They go in with a defined plan, a message to communicate, but they also plan for the unexpected.
They get asked a question that isn't going in the direction they want it to, they pivot. They turn it and take it in a different direction, one that always leads back toward their original goal or message.
Chess says, "A pivot involves keeping one foot on the ground and moving the other foot." So, you're always grounded in your original intentions and going with your gut while shifting the puzzle pieces around to make it all fit together.
The best entrepreneurs always come up with a Plan B. Sometimes even a Plan C or even D. Embracing change fosters greatness.
We have the confidence and the flexibility to take a step back, look at the bigger picture and come back at the problem from a different angle. After all, it's the pivots and change that create the challenges and the thrills we thrive off.
If the path were straight and narrow it would be boring. And if that were the case, most of us would be off doing something else more exciting, because that's who we are as entrepreneurs.

Q: Finding three most similar matches to a given short binary sequence in a long one I´m new in C programming and have a problem I cant solve.
From a file with a lot of information, structured like
"id" \t 2048 times '0' or '1'
e.g.:
81283 \t   0101011010.....0110

I've to find, from a new sequence introduced by the user, the 3 most similar elements with the same size of the sequence introduced by the user.
E.g. sequence introduced by user, 010101, the program has to show like

*

*n1= 010101

*n2= 010100

*n3= 010010

Those are the 3 most similar sequences from all the 2048 '0' '1' in each line.
I hope that the problem was well explain.
I have this code below, but it does not solve the problem.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
int procura(int *v, int *c, int tam){
int i,j,t;
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("fich.txt","r");
v=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
c=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
while(!feof(fp)){
    fscanf(fp,"%d",&v);
}
t = sizeof(v)/sizeof(*v);
for(i=0;i<tam;i++){
    for(j=0;j<t;j++){
        if(c[i]==v[j])
            return 1;
        else
            return 0;
    }
}

}
int main(){
int *v, *c;
int i,tam,a;
printf("array size\n");
scanf("%d",&tam);
c=(int*)malloc(tam*sizeof(int));
printf("Seq\n");
for(i=0;i<tam;i++){
    scanf("%d",&c[i]);
}
printf("%d",procura(v,c, tam));

return 0;

}

A: A few things:

*

*v=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
c=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int));

These overwrites the pointers, so you lose the original v and c.

*sizeof(v)/sizeof is a syntax error

*Getting the size of a pointer with sizeof returns the size of the pointer, not what it points to

*Your reassignment of v and c above makes those variables points to memory for only a single int, and then you loop over tam elements meaning you go out of bounds of the memory

*With fscanf(fp,"%d",&v) you pass a pointer to the pointer

*Read Why is "while ( !feof (file) )" always wrong?

*No error checking, what happens if you can't open a file?

*Your function will return immediately after the first c[i]==v[j] check, and it will return unconditionally
And probably much more.

Die Rote Tigervogelspinne (Davus fasciatus, Synonym: Cyclosternum fasciatum) ist eine Spinne aus der Familie der Vogelspinnen (Theraphosidae). Sie ist im südlichen Mittelamerika verbreitet. Die Art ist nicht mit der namentlich ähnlichen und in Südindien verbreiteten Tigervogelspinne (Poecilotheria regalis) aus der monotypischen Unterfamilie der Poecilotheriinae zu verwechseln.

Der englische Trivialname der Roten Tigervogelspinne lautet Costa Rican tiger rump (tarantula) (übersetzt: "Costa Rica-Tigerrumpf(-Vogelspinne)").

Merkmale

Das Weibchen der Roten Tigervogelspinne erreicht eine Körperlänge von etwa 50 und das Männchen eine von etwa 30 Millimetern, womit die Art zu den Zwergvogelspinnen gerechnet wird. Die Beinspannweite beträgt beim Weibchen bis zu 120 und beim Männchen 80 bis 100 Millimeter. Die Grundfarbe der Roten Tigervogelspinne ist schwarz. Der Carapax (Rückenschild des Prosomas, bzw. Vorderkörpers) erscheint kupfer- bis goldfarben. Während die Coxae (Hüftglieder) einheitlich schwarz gefärbt sind, so sind die Trochanter (Schenkelringe) und Tarsen (Fußglieder) dunkelgrau und samtig. Ein auffälliges Merkmal der Art sind die fünf ebenfalls kupfer- bis goldfarbenen Querstreifen auf dem ansonsten schwarzen Opisthosoma (Hinterleib). Die Rote Tigervogelspinne verfügt über Brennhaare und zählt somit zu den bombardierfähigen Vogelspinnen.

Ähnliche Arten

Eine der Roten Tigervogelspinne ähnliche Art ist nah verwandte Davus pentaloris. Diese hat aber anders als die Rote Tigervogelspinne einen orangen Carapax und eine rote Querstreifung auf dem Opisthosoma. Da Davus pentaloris im Gegensatz zur Roten Tigervogelspinne in Guatemala vorkommt, sind Verwechslungen beider Arten in freier Natur unter gewöhnlichen Umständen nicht möglich.

Vorkommen

Die Rote Tigervogelspinne kommt in Costa Rica und in Panama vor, wo sie die tropischen Regenwälder bewohnt und dort besonders an Gehölz am Boden zu finden ist.

Bedrohung und Schutz
Über mögliche Bedrohungen der Roten Tigervogelspinne liegen keine Informationen vor. Ihr Bestand wird von der IUCN nicht gewertet und die Art genießt dementsprechend keinen Schutzstatus.

Lebensweise

Die Rote Tigervogelspinne zählt zu den bodenbewohnenden Vogelspinnen und gräbt Wohnröhren, die bei dieser Art recht komplex und ausgedehnt sein können. Die Wohnröhre wird wie bei anderen Arten mit einem Wohngespinst versehen. Gelegentlich werden auch andere passende Hohlräume genommen, die dann mit einem Gespinst versehen werden. Die wie alle Vogelspinnen nachtaktive Art verbleibt am Tag meist in dem Unterschlupf und verlässt diesen aber auch am Abend selten zum Zwecke der Suche nach Beutetieren.

Die Rote Tigervogelspinne gilt als friedlichere Vogelspinne und versucht bei Begegnungen mit möglichen Prädatoren (Fressfeinden) meist in ihrem Unterschlupf Zuflucht zu finden. Sollte es notwendig sein, kann sich die Art auch mittels Bombardieren (Abstreifen und verschleudern der Brennhaare), mit einer Drohgebärde oder in größter Not auch mit einem Giftbiss verteidigen.

Fortpflanzung
Das Fortpflanzungsherhalten der Roten Tigervogelspinne unterscheidet sich nicht nennenswert von dem anderer Vogelspinnen und die Paarung verläuft meist friedlich. Infolge der heranreifenden Eier nimmt der Nahrungsbedarf des begatteten Weibchens zu, ehe es nach zwei bis drei Monaten einen Eikokon anfertigt, der etwa 150 bis 500 Eier enthalten kann. Die Jungtiere schlüpfen etwa sechs Wochen nach der Herstellung des Eikokons. Diese sind anfangs mit einer Beinspannweite von fünf Millimetern anfangs recht klein, wachsen aber vergleichsweise schnell heran. Männchen erreichen ihre Geschlechtsreife in zwei bis zweieinhalb und Weibchen innerhalb von zwei- bis dreieinhalb Jahren. Das Weibchen erreicht überdies eine längere Lebensdauer von maximal neun Jahren, während das Männchen mit einer Lebenserwartung von drei bis vier Jahren wie bei Vogelspinnen üblich deutlich kurzlebiger ist.

Terraristik
Wie andere Vogelspinnen erfreut sich auch die Rote Tigervogelspinne bedingt durch ihr markantes Erscheinungsbild einer gewissen Beliebtheit als Heimtier in der Terraristik. Positiv hervorzuheben ist auch, dass die Spinne sich gegenüber dem Halter für gewöhnlich nicht aggressiv verhält und aufgrund ihrer verglichen mit anderen Vogelspinnen geringeren Größe auch in kleineren Behausungen gehalten werden kann. Allerdings sollte man sich vor einem Kauf einer oder mehrerer Exemplare des scheuen Charakters und der überwiegend versteckt ausgeführten Lebensweise der Art bewusst sein. Für die erfolgreiche Haltung von Exemplaren der Roten Tigervogelspinne muss wie bei allen Regenwaldbewohnern die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit in den für die Haltung verwendeten Behältnissen bestmöglich simuliert werden.

Systematik
Bereits bei ihrer Erstbeschreibung 1892 durch Octavius Pickard-Cambridge erhielt die Rote Tigervogelspinne die Bezeichnung Davus fasciatus, die sie anfangs lange beibehalten hat. Von Carlos Enrique Valerio Gutierrez 1982 wurde die Art in die Gattung Cyclosternum transferiert und erhielt die Bezeichnung C. fasciatus, die auch heute noch häufig als Synonym verwendet wird. Durch Heinz-Josef Peters wurde die Rote Tigervogelspinne wieder in die Gattung Davus gestellt und erhielt ihre ursprüngliche Bezeichnung, die seitdem wieder gültig ist.

Die Rote Tigervogelspinne, die auch die Typusart ihrer Gattung ist, besitzt überdies zwei weitere Synonyme. Diese lauten:
 Metriopelma drymusetes , 1982
 Neischnocolus drymusetes , 2003

Co., Ltd (an established Japanese tuner renowned for its technology, performance and reliability in motorsports). The total value of the Black Series package is RM8,500.
The interior is enhanced with newly designed leather upholstery that features dark titanium accents and a premium 6.75-inch Clarion Advanced Display Audio with reverse camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The prices for the Almera Black Series include Solar Gard tinting and a Driving Video Recorder with 150 degrees coverage, all installed professionally before delivery by ETCM.
"The Nissan Almera is one of our best-selling Nissan models in Malaysia. With the introduction of the new Nissan Almera – Black Series, it has more style, presence and personality, making it simply menacing!" said Christopher Tan, Sales and Marketing Director of ETCM.
The powertrain is the same proven 1.5-litre HR15DE 4-cylinder engine with Continuously Variable-valve Timing Control (CVTC). Like all Nissan engines, it is known for its fuel efficiency and can go up to 14.9 kms per litre, it is claimed.
The Almera comes with an Intelligent Key (i-Key) with Immobilizer, Keyless Entry System, Push Start Ignition, and Automatic Climate Control. Although it is the 'Black Series', customers can also choose from 5 colours – Diamond Black, Brilliant White, Tungsten Silver, Bronze Gold as well as Titanium Olive which is exclusive to the Almera – Black Series.
While the car comes with a 5-year/unlimited mileage warranty, the accessories have a 3-year/100,000 km warranty (whichever comes first). Incidentally, for those who already own an Almera, there is the possibility of installing the TOMEI Aerokit.

Windrush By Joshua Street
Windrush! A word that means so much to some and absolutely nothing to others.
Windrush Team
To the older generations above me, it's what made "Britain Great" and to the younger generations, they think "it's when the wind rushes at you" (and there's absolutely no shame in not knowing).
To those that don't know, the HMT Empire Windrush (aka the MV Monte Rosa) brought the first wave of mass Caribbean migration to the UK after World War II, these people are referred to as the Windrush Generation. What is rarely told to the public (but known in the community) is that the main reason for the mass migration is because Britain was so damaged, broken and in need of repair after WWII that they had to depend on the help from the countries they colonised; inviting them to do the jobs that no-one else wanted to do such as cleaning, construction, nursing, manual labour, agriculture and more. This was achieved by marketing the UK as the land of "Milk and Honey" where the roads were "Paved with Gold" especially as the Caribbean was so pillaged, damaged and run down through said colonialism that it made the choice seemingly obvious. Regardless of the fact that the Caribbean Windrush migrants were invited to the UK, they were still subject to abuse, discrimination and racism as they were seen as nothing more than uninvited illegal immigrants, despite perceiving themselves to be citizens of empire. Never before in History has Britain urgently needed help like this, especially from a region that it perceived as "lesser" than itself. However this, as well as the contributions of people of colour during the war, is widely overlooked in society, often avoided in history lessons and mysteriously absent during Remembrance Day and other WWII memorial events.
On 22nd June 2017, the first ever memorial to Black Afro-Caribbean armed services personnel, the "Windrush Memorial" (WM), was unveiled in Brixton. When I first went to the memorial next to the "Black Cultural Archives", I met a black veteran who spoke of how disgusting it was that every other community has a plaque in and around London, yet it took 70 years for this small amount of recognition. Worse still is its position and location which is afforded little respect from young skater boys who are often seen skating off the memorial when the gates are opened. To further prove the point, the animals of war have their own memorial plaque in the middle of Park Lane next to Hyde Park which was erected in 2004 (an incredible 13 years before the WM), but where then are the memorials for the black commonwealth contributors prior to the WM? This is not only disgraceful but also dangerous as we are on the verge of forgetting the contribution of our ancestors to history; many Black Britains, descendants of these people, as I mentioned previously, are unaware of what the Windrush actually is, it's not too late as there is always time to learn but we must act quickly.
Throughout history, the feats and achievements of the black community have been constantly overlooked and disregarded (recently the British public was shocked being shown evidence confirming that the first Britain, known as the Cheddar Man, who was previously perceived to be white is black), so to progress as a people we need acknowledgement, not only from external forces privy to our community but our community itself.
With the Windrush Generation still living amongst (including my own grandmother) it gives us the perfect opportunity to document, enjoy, archive, analyse, and learn from their experiences, lives and stories for future generations to use to strategize for the future.
The Brexit vote has confirmed to various ethnic communities of what many already knew; the main reason the country voted to leave the EU was because of immigration and wanting to "protect the borders", which in other words means keep Britain white and immigrant free. Many voted not out of economic reasons but for racial cleansing, keeping the borders up and other discriminatory reasons. I dare you to ask any Brexit voter their opinion on the pros and cons of the various issues including the Single Market or European Human Rights laws as many will be clueless and were led not by their minds, but their hearts, through tactical unethical propaganda and scaremongering similar to the Windrush, which speaks volumes for Britain. On the week of the Brexit vote a young relative of mine was told to "Go back to African now we voted Brexit" on three separate occasions at school, no child should be told that, especially by another child, which shows that not much has changed regarding racism in schools through the generations.
When looking at immigration today, compared to immigration during the Windrush Era, immigrants today although not invited to do so, still play a pivotal part of holding up the infrastructure of the UK in key jobs such as cleaning, construction, nursing, manual labour, agriculture and more (sounding familiar?). Filling many of the positions previously held by the Windrush Generation, due to this it is very clear to see why certain members of the community voted to leave in the Brexit vote.
My biggest fear for Brexit internationally is that Britain will again rely on the "Commonwealth" they previously enslaved and colonised without supporting, repaying or acknowledging their contribution to Britain's wealth and prosperity. I hope the countries in the current and former Commonwealth don't fall for what can only be described as a new wave of Colonialism by taking lessons from the past and learning to negotiate on equal terms. By again relying on external support from the UK or accepting detrimental trade deals for their nation will come at a cost to the countries progression, this could take the individual countries back decades as well as leaving those nation's future generations "indebted" to Britain AGAIN!
Regarding Brexit nationally, I have no fear of racism and discrimination rising because it has never stopped! As a wise woman once told me, "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" and history has already shown me the hand of those leaning on the right, the only difference between pre and post Brexit is that the cards are laid out on the table, plain for everyone to see. As the grandson of Windrush Caribbean migrants, I am proud of the contributions that our ancestors made in changing this country, we as a community need to embody the courage and bravery of our ancestors to venture towards a brighter future for the community with their same spirit…
…as a "Black Britain" I have "no country to go back to" as this IS my country as my ancestors built up this land (unlike migrating communities today) and we will be acknowledged.
As I put the final touches writing this article the nationally known "Brixton Market", home of the bustling cultural hub for Afro-Caribbean goods and services since the Windrush era in the 1960's (slowly killed off by "regeneration"), was just sold onto an Irish Property Tycoon on the 22nd Feb 2018. This symbolizes not only the death of Brixton, the historic cultural hub, but the ushering away of the Windrush Generation in London. This also shows how much this country truly appreciates the toil and hard work of our ancestors. So I turn to the community on the anniversary of the Windrush, coinciding with the rise of in-your-face racism from Brexit, alongside widespread gentrification removing the BME community from the cityscape; to demand and campaign for acknowledgement of the Afro-Caribbean contribution to Britain. Whilst it is important to campaign are we really going to wait for our community to be acknowledged? It is crucial that we acknowledge ourselves and teach the next generations about the collective experience so we can plan for tomorrow. Remember, as the next move is up to us.

communicating with someone of such strength of character and knowledge.
What were the names of your books? I may order one from Amazon.
from the lake or canal -- would be powerful statements to the public.
ever looked at them? It may shed new nuggets.
you, if have a few moments?


was quite tarnished, toned, blessed with patina, etc.
But I like my coins NCS conserved and NGC graded.
This was an older ANACS slabbed coin--PF 65 DCAM.
conservation for value below $300.
the coin which may have protected it from my chisel.
NCS/NGC in a couple of months for a before and after view.
Will you submit another S10Y Dragon & Phoenix along with this one? Your detailed picture shows it to be the "left high" date variety (http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?topic=6886.msg48231#msg48231) which has not yet been recognzied by NGC. NGC has recognized similarly date shifted varieties in 2oz S20Y D&P so if you can submit two S10Y D&P with different date shift varieties, it is possible NGC will also recognize them. Good luck! I'm curious to see whether NCS can remove the whitish cloud all over the mirrored background.
I wish I had another to send with it so they had examples to prove the differences.
I emailed NGC that the S20Y Dragon & Phoenix had recognized varieties and asked about the S10Y. Melissa Pearce replied to my email that my coin would be reviewed for variety. I am hopeful.
I did not get my variety recognition on my cracked out Dragon & Phoenix S10Y.
They did reduce the whitish stuff somewhat and cleaned out the dark stuff.
Here is a picture of the coin back from conservation and grading--PF67UC.
Thanks for the update. I don't know why NGC recognizes the 20 yuan proof but not the 10 yuan proof. The amount of date shift is about the same.


It's that time of the week again, when I get to have a quick look back and share with you my little loves of the week.
Nothing for me, but I did read a book I ordered for the munchkin to put in her little gift bag from her new brother. It's called I'm a Big Sister now. I though the story was lovely and the illustrations really pretty, I'm hoping the munchkin likes it!
As we can't find anything we like on TV at the moment, me and Mr C have taken to finding films to watch. This week we watched Invincible, which was a disney american football film based on a true story. It was a really nice feel good film and really easy to watch. We always like watching films that have happy endings!
It's been half term and the munchkin has been away for the 1st time with my parents. I've got to say it's been very quiet here. I have missed hearing mummy.
Nothing too extravagant this week, although I did make a scrummy chicken lasagne!
Still in my scruffs I'm afraid, not having to go anywhere has given me free licence to wear whatever is comfy and at the minute, nothing really is!
This being my last week of pregnancy, this has honestly been a really lazy one. I have done not much more than sleep and rest on the sofa. I'm thinking my body must need it so I've just been going with it to make sure I'm ready for next week! Eeek!

Blackfoot Valley Dispatch - The Blackfoot Valley's News Source Since 1980
By MNews Chancellors Edition 2020
Helping the country heal: Keeping workers safe
Photo provided by Corey Butler
Corey Butler wears her US Public Health Service dress blue as a Lieutenant in 2015.
Editor's note. Corey Butler, a 1998 Lincoln High graduate, grew up in Lincoln and is the daughter of Mike and Renee Campbell. The following appeared in Montana Tech's MNews Chancellors Edition published earlier this year. Re-printed with permission
During this complex and challenging time, Montana Tech's Vice Chancellor for Advancement and Alumni Engagement, Joe McClafferty, recently spent some time with Lieutenant Commander Corey Butler (Campbell).
Lt. Cdr. Butler is a U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Officer assigned to the National Institute for occupational Safety and Health with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Corey started with the CDC through a fellowships in 2007 and was commissioned as an Officer in the USPHS in 2012. Corey is currently the Program Manager for the Wildland Fire Research Program at NIOSH where she is responsible for overseeing research designed to understand better exposures and health effects associated with wildland fire. Corey graduated from Montana Tech in 2002 with a degree in Occupational Safety and Health/Applied Health Science and was also a member of the Oredigger Women's Basketball team.
During the COVID-19 response, Corey has been involved in various public health activities, from boots n the ground fieldwork to analyzing data and developing national-level guidance. This includes screening passengers in airports as they arrived from European countries in the U.S., developing and partnering with wildland fire agencies to develop national infection control and prevention guidelines as they prepare for the wildland fire season, conducting occupational epidemiology to understand better how COVID-19 impacts certain occupations, and writing guidance on how workplaces can partner with State and local public health officials as case investigation and contact tracing is conducted in the workplace.
Lt. Cdr. Butler is focused on solving the COVID challenge.
First off, we understand you have a personal battle with COVID-how are you doing?Yes, I, unfortunately, was diagnosed with COVID-19. I am doing well. My primary symptoms were complete loss of taste and smell, followed by very minor respiratory symptoms (minor cough and sore throat). Most of the symptoms have resolved, although my ability to smell and taste is still limited.
How did the fact that you actually were battling the virus yourself affect your thought process on battling the virus in your daily job?
I think if anything, it just brings it closer to home. As a front-line public health working, we often see how COVID-19 or other illnesses and injuries impact people. My primary job it NIOSH is conducting research to understand what emergency response workers are exposed to, how these exposures impact their health, and then use this information to do more research or develop ways to prevent these exposures and protect the health of this important workforce. Being deployed for COVID-19 really is not too much different. I was and still am tasked with applying the latest science-based principles to identify illness and prevent further spread of it. For me as soon as I had that aha moment, when I could not smell freshly ground coffee, I started thinking what I needed to do to stop the spread of the virus immediately. This included self-isolating, reporting my symptoms to my employer, and receiving and following appropriate medical guidance. I was deployed so I could no longer participate in my original response role, but I could continue to support response activities remotely. It is interesting to be a confirmed case during a pandemic, and I was really curious about the science of what was happening to me and why.
Like so many other Orediggers, you grew up in small-town Montana-how did a Lincoln Lynx get to Montana Tech?
It was always my dream to play basketball in college, and when Montanan Tech contacted me, and after I visited the campus, I knew it was where I was supposed to be.
Most of my mom's side of the family were and still are associated with Butte, and my grandfather was an Oredigger for a while, so it's a place near and dear to me.
What was your experience as a student-athlete for the Diggs?
When I wasn't injured, I had a wonderful experience as a student-athlete at Montana Tech. I must admit, it was Mike Mavros, our athletic trainer at the time, who persuaded me to think about the health effects of woodland firefighting. I fought fires in the summer, and Mike and I had many discussion sin the training room about how the physical and chemical hazards may not be great for one's health. Those discussions resonated, and have been the basis for some of the research questions we are trying to answer. As a student-athlete, I wore two different hats, one geared towards succeeding academically and athletically. Through this, I've learned the necessary skills to balance life as a mom, a scientist, project officer and a Commissioned Officer.
Why did you pick Occupational Safety and Health?
Another good question. I wanted to be a physician and was pointed towards OSH when arriving at Tech, but it turns out I pass out cold as soon as I see human blood. Once I learned the medical route wasn't going to work out, I continued the OSH/Applied Health degree as I enjoyed the coursework and the professors. One of the great things about Tech is the course requirements are multidisciplinary, and while I never thought some of the 'required courses' would come in handy, it turns out I apply principles from the OSH, Industrial Hygiene, Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Scientific Writing, and Bioethics classes often.
What was your experience in the program here at Montana Tech?
I can't say enough about my experience in the program. The faculty and staff are incredible folks who helped foster my experience as a student and as an athlete. I still use many of the skills and principles I learned at Tech.
You have taken on many complex environmental health challenges in your career. What have you learned from you many learning opportunities?
Flexibility. In public health, you have to be flexible and apply the core public health principles and science to a variety of topics. My job at NIOSH has taken me all over the place, work on all sorts of different projects. Typically, I focus on worker safety and health due to smoke and other exposures in the wildfire environment. Now, in my most current deployment, I am focusing on how to protect workers during a pandemic.
What could the impacts of the virus be on the fire season?
That's a challenging questions as information about the virus and guidance on it are updated and change often. At this point, we are trying to use current guidance documents and science to develop guidance for the woodland fire community to protect their workforce best, while continuing to fight fires.
How did you end up in your current position?
I was lucky enough to be accepted into a fellowship at the CDC. When I arrived in Atlanta, I was assigned to NIOSH because of my background. I then continued in the occupational health and emergency preparedness realm and took a job with NIOSH when I completed the fellowship.
What are the main challenges to the COVID issue that you are working on?
This is a novel virus, and we learn many new things about it almost every single day. The most challenging piece is staying on top of all the research and developing or applying practical, but evidence-based recommendations in real-world situations, based on current science.
Currently your career has you working on a challenge that is affecting every person in the world. How does that affect you?
Butler wears Personal Protective Equipment while assessing hexavalent chromium exposure in an airplane painting/stripping facility. several years ago.
I am active duty, so I will deploy and respond wherever I am needed as often and as long as I am asked to go. It's an oath I took. It's an honor to be able to respond to protect, promote, and advance the health and safety of our Nation.
How do you apply your lessons from Montana Tech to solving the challenges in front of you?
Montana Tech taught me resilience and perseverance. To succeed at Tech, and to succeed at CDC, these two skillsets come in handy.
What drives you to get up every day and continue to battle?
I know the work we are doing makes a difference. I have so many amazing colleagues, and I work with some of the most skilled scientists and public health practitioners in the world. We are presented with a challenge, and we are working around the clock to contribute. It's an honor to do this.
Thank you, Corey. Please know how proud Montana Tech is of all your efforts to solve these incredibly complex challenges and thank you again for sharing your valuable time.
