Joining Virtus isn't just a gym membership. You are joining a tribe of humans who are all in the pursuit of improvement.
When you first get started, you will go through an on-boarding process which consists of 3 private sessions with a performance coach. This is so that we can get to know you, what you are trying to achieve and how we can best serve you. From there, you can decide what services you wish to take advantage of.
Virtus offers a few different membership options, so depends on which one you jump into. All of our training options will include support from our performance coaches, goal setting, a movement screen and wellness tracking.
We are not like other gyms; we provide an environment where you can come in, be yourself and improve at whatever your thing is. You get access to a community of like-minded individuals and expert coaches who will help you move and feel better.
what if i've never lifted weights before?
No worries, it's never too late to start.
Weight training is an important part of any training program and will help you become a strong, functional human. We incorporate it into all our programs.
However, we will teach you how to lift safely and proficiently before jumping into any of our classes. Learning proper patterning and positions is a crucial part of our on-boarding process and we will ensure that you have a good understanding of how to lift.
I'm injured, can I still train?
If you are injured, we can help you. This is why we have a multi-disciplinary team of health professionals on hand to assess, diagnose and treat if necessary.
During the on-boarding sessions, if you present with any pain, we will refer you to Greg, our sports physiotherapist who will work with you to treat and eliminate the pain and/ or dysfunction. Once we have ticked all the boxes and gotten you pain free, we can dive into what's next.
We look at this as an investment into your health. The ultimate goal is to be training, moving and living for as long as possible. If you don't invest into your health and wellness, this is not possible.
It might mean that you have to eliminate costs somewhere else (for example, not deciding to buy that next coffee), but we promise, it will be worth it!
What times can I come in to train?
All of our Group Training (VGT) are at set times (click here to see the Timetable). If you wanted to dive into private or semi-private training, we are flexible on when you can come in.
do i need to be fit before i get started?
No, that's our job. People of any background or experience can get started with us. We cater to all levels of fitness. In our on-boarding introduction sessions, we will adapt the training to your ability.

Kerala diaspora organisation to protest against 7 day compulsory quarantine
Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 14 (IANS) A Kerala diaspora organisation in the UAE will stage a day-long protest before the state Secretariat here on Saturday against the manner in which passsengers from the Gulf country are being treated by both the Centre and state with all arriving international passengers being asked to undergo a week's compulsory quarantine.
'Look what's happening here, party meetings are being held throwing all Covid protocols to the wind and the irresponsible handling of the Health Department has led to the Covid spread and the hapless diaspora is being taken to task... this is nothing but declaring war on the diaspora, who often at good times are being referred to as the backbone of the state,' said a protester.
'It's strange and rather unfortunate that whenever there is a spike in cases, the diaspora is the first to be taxed and this is done by the respective governments to just show some action has been taken to tackle Covid. We want this indifference shown towards us to end and hence we are expressing our displeasure by staging a protest here,' added an office-bearers of the organisation.
The ruling CPI-M has come under fire from several quarters as their various district party committee meetings are still being held in the run-up to the upcoming state party conference and the Congress has slammed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on this.

100 poets working for 100 years could not come up with something that good. That's because there's was only one Michael Jackson. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Bad album, Colin and John reflect on the myth, the magic and the music of the legendary man in the mirror. You've been struck by a smooth podcast. That's gotta be enough writing, right?
P.S. This was recorded back in late August/early September. We just wanted you to know that so this podcast can take you back to a more simple time.

Q: Java: criar inner join usando criteria Eu estou tendo dificuldades em encontrar bons exemplos de como criar uma criteria query usando inner join.
Eu criei a query abaixo que seria o que gostaria de fazer com a criteria.
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM DT_DOCUMENT as document
INNER JOIN DT_TRANSLATION as translation
ON translation.language_id IN(1, 2, 3)
WHERE document.id = translation.document_id
AND document.title LIKE '%documento%';

Isso retornará todos os documentos com o título "Document" e que estão associados a traduções com id 1, 2 e 3.
Eu consegui dividir essa query em 2 selects diferentes utilizando o criteria e estão retornando os resultados, mas eu necessito do inner join para fazer o filtro necessário.

Translation criteria query

CriteriaQuery<Translation> translationQuery = builder.createQuery(Translation.class);
Root<Translation> translation = translationQuery.from(Translation.class);

List<Long> ids = new ArrayList<>();
ids.add(1);
ids.add(2);
ids.add(3);
Predicate idPredicate = translation.in(ids);
translationQuery.where(idPredicate);
translationQuery.distinct(true);

TypedQuery<Translation> query =

this.entityManager.createQuery(translationQuery);
query.getResultList();

Retorna todas as traduções com id 1, 2 e 3;

Document criteria query

CriteriaQuery<Document> documentQuery = builder.createQuery(Document.class);
Root<Document> document = documentQuery.from(Document.class);

Predicate titlePredicate = builder.like(document.get("title"), "%documento%");
documentQuery.where(titlePredicate);
TypedQuery<Document> query = this.entityManager.createQuery(documentQuery);
query.getResultList();

Retorna todos os documentos com o título "Document".
Agradeço a qualquer contribuição, obrigada.

A: Seguindo a Documentação Oracle
Ficaria assim:
CriteriaQuery<Translation> translationQuery = builder.createQuery(Translation.class);
Metamodel m = em.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Translation> Translation_ = m.entity(Translation.class);

Root<Translation> translation = translationQuery.from(Translation.class);
Join<Translation, Document> documents = translation.join(Translation_.documents);

cq.where(pet.get(Pet_.color).isNull());

List<Long> ids = new ArrayList<>();
ids.add(1);
ids.add(2);
ids.add(3);
Predicate idPredicate = translation.in(ids);
translationQuery.where(idPredicate);
translationQuery.distinct(true);

A: Após muito pesquisar consegui chegar nesta solução unificando as 2 queries e utilizando o inner join:
    //criação da query
    CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
    CriteriaQuery<Document> documentQuery = builder.createQuery(Document.class);
    Root<Document> root = documentQuery.from(Document.class);

    //lista de parâmetros para where
    List<Predicate> predicateList = new ArrayList<Predicate>();

    //fazendo o join: passo a referência de translations (list<Translations) que existe no model do documento.
    Join<Document, Translation> documentTranslationJoin = root.join("translations");
   //pego as ids das linguagens associadas as traduções encontradas no join
    Path<Long> translationLanguageId = documentTranslationJoin.get("language");
    //passo os ids das linguagens que quero encontrar traduções
    List<Long> ids = new ArrayList<>();
    ids.add(1);
    ids.add(2);
    ids.add(3);

    //considera linguagens das traduções
    Predicate predicateTranslationId = builder.isTrue(translationLanguageId.in(ids));
    //passei os ids das linguagens que será o where buscando as traduções que tem os ids das linguagens que desejo ver
    predicateList.add(predicateTranslationId);

    //considera titulo do documento
    Predicate titlePredicate = builder.like(root.get("title"),"%documento%");
    predicateList.add(titlePredicate);

    //where
    Predicate[] predicates = new Predicate[predicateList.size()];
    predicateList.toArray(predicates);
    documentQuery.where(predicates);

    //execução da query com seus parâmetros
    TypedQuery<Document> query = this.entityManager.createQuery(documentQuery);

    query.setFirstResult(0);
    query.setMaxResults(8);

    //resultados da query
    List<Document> documents = query.getResultList();

Last week i was talking to a tech in the busines.
He passed onto me that EV was bought out .
There drivers were made in Quebec in a small town for quite some time.
I was kind of miffed on this .
The drivers were being made up here were still US priced !!
With them being made in Canada we should have not had to pay at US prices!
You Amercians got stiffed on this as well you should have gotten a better deal on them too being made up here with the difference on the doallar !!
PS I real bad computer typest !!
So, they were bought out. What's that got to do with anything. Did you expect them to drop the prices? That's not how it works.
Lemme tell ya a little something about business. It exists to make a profit. They will get every penny they can for a product tht the market will bear.
About the best I can suggest is that you vote with your wallet. If you are so miffed about their pricing, don't buy from them. Maybe if enough peeople feel the way you do they will drop their prices. Either that, or they will close down the plant entirely.
Personally, I can't recall the last time I've seen any ElectroVoice products but then again, I haven't really been looking.
Electro Voice markets professional audio products only. They are not in the consumer arena.
One uses a pair of P/A monitors in his bands club rig, the other has a pair of vintage studio monitors from a major NY recording studio that went belly up many years ago. Both are really good sounding in their respective uses. The vintage studio monitors, made back in the 70's, are a two way ported design with a large ~2" or so fabric mid/tweeter. Those are doing duty in an HT system right now, but can easily rival a lot of modern monitors for audio quality.


Iconic Marin landscape, taken from Mount Tamalpais outlooking the Bay. Image by Macie Millstein.
In the heart of the Bay Area is a county decorated with rocky coastal lines and grassy hillsides. But to look past its picturesque façade is to discover a culture of divine individuality. Nestled in Tam Junction and located in the heart and soul of Marin County, lies Proof Lab Surf and Skate Shop, a remarkable presence to practically every walk of life in the area. Concealed from the public eye, history links and intertwines itself from Proof Lab to its surrounding humble businesses. CNL Native Plant Nursery, MV Potter Studio, Studio 4 Art, and Magic West Music School were all created within the walls of this iconic surf shop.
A small dog sits comfortably with the used surfboards adjacent to Proof Lab's Surf Shop.
Harnessing a multitude of interests under one name makes Proof Lab one of the most diverse consortiums in Marin County. Founded in 2004 by Will Hutchinson and Nate McCarthy, Proof Lab was never anticipated to be the home to everyone's outdoor needs and desires. "It's all been about the same thing – great retail, building community, and connecting people with the arts and outdoors – but that has gone in a lot of different directions depending on what we've gotten into and what space has become available," Hutchinson expresses to Enjoy Mill Valley, a local online news publication, where he talked about Proof Lab and the shop turning a decade old back in 2014. No matter the person, the lifestyle, the journey, or the motivation, there is something tucked away in Mill Valley's own surf and skate shop for every individual. From plant fertilizer to surfboard wax, Hutchinson and McCarthy created a heart and soul in the form of a business that perfectly and seamlessly encapsulates the spirit of the Golden State.
Augusta Lewis, a senior Marin Academy high school in San Rafael, has been a trusted customer of Proof Lab since she was 6 years old: "I get my wetsuits there and we've gotten some boards there [as well] throughout the years," she recalls. "In Marin, it's one of the only good surf shops." Being a member of the surf community, Lewis finds great resources in all of the nooks and crannies of Proof Lab. Proper equipment for facing the force of tides and rip curls is incredibly significant for those choosing to engage with the waves, especially in the Bay area. Proof Lab offers a wide variety of wetsuits, surfboards (both brand new and used and lived-in), cords, fins, booties, and more; no matter the skill level, they have something for you. "Surfing has always been something that I do with my dad and that we both love. [He] taught me how to surf when I was 6 and I've been surfing with him ever since," she states, clarifying the influential and memorable presence of the ocean in her upbringing. Having surf shops like Proof Lab accessible has made her devotion to the northern California coast from dwindling over the years. Lewis shares that the lifelong presence of surfing has made her even more appreciative of the legitimacy and fruit-fullness of Proof Lab's business.
Griffin Barnett, an employee at Proof Lab, builds a new board for display.
After a slight pause, and him striding across the room to grab his tools to fix the boards piled on the counter, he says: "It's definitely all about openness and community; if someone's at the skatepark and they're there talking bad about someone else, no one is going to support them," he shares. "Everyone starts talking bad about the person talking bad because everyone's there to be supportive." He glances to his right and sees a crowd of young skaters who look to be around 9 years old, and a smirk breaks out on his face. He centers back and looks up at the hanging decks showering every square inch of the wall and ceiling. "As long as you're trying and showing effort in skating, no one cares where you came from, how good or how bad you are, if it's your first day or your last day," he concludes. He moves back behind the counter and proceeds to teach me how to assemble a board properly. If that doesn't encapsulate the camaraderie of skaters, I don't know what does.
Piper Santos, a devoted customer of Proof Lab, browses the plethora of decks next to the skate ramps of Proof Lab's Surf Shop.
The community that skateboarders, surfers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more harbor and manifest can all be traced back to the foundation of Proof Lab. "When we started all this, we weren't thinking about biodiesel and ceramics and music lessons and coffee. But none of it's a surprise either. It all makes sense now and it all feels right," Hutchinson shares with Enjoy Mill Valley. The diversity that Proof Lab contains within its 'walls' is the epitome of the diversity of spirit in Marin County. Every walk of life in the Bay is marching to the beat of their own drum, and Proof Lab amplifies it.
Hanging surfboards decorate the surf section of Proof Lab's Surf & Skate shop.
The word 'adventure' is a noun, but at Proof Lab it is a verb. Its roots reach out to people, latch on, and instill a sense of opportunity and youth in every person that passes through. It reminds individuals that no matter the interest, there is something worth exploring, worth chasing, worth experiencing. From children to elders, it teaches that age is just a number, but the passion in your heart, for whatever it may be, is timeless.

"All My Children", "One Life To Live" get the ax
Erica Kane is being shown the door.
In a move rumored for weeks, ABC pulled the plug today on two of its longest-running soap operas: All My Children and One Life to Live. Both series have been longtime staples of ABC's daytime lineup, each of them being on the air for over four decades. Children is scheduled to end this September; One Life ends early in January 2012.
ABC has already lined up replacements for the two departing soaps: One is The Chew, a cooking show; the other is The Revolution, which is basically a Biggest Loser/Dr. Oz clone. Both are unscripted (you know, ABC could have come up with something better than this crap.)
One Life began on July 15, 1968; Children began on January 5, 1970. Since 1970, ABC has canceled only six soaps: Dark Shadows, The Edge of Night, Ryan's Hope, Loving, The City, and Port Charles – the latter being the last soap ABC canceled, back in 2003.
Both series join other disposed soaps in the last decade: CBS' Guiding Light (ended September 18, 2009) and As The World Turns (ended September 17, 2010) and NBC's Passions (ended September 7, 2007 but continued on DirectTV until August 2008.)
During the week of April 4-8, Children finished last in total viewers with just 2.3 million, while One Life was third with 2.6 million.
Ratings for both sudsers – and the genre in general – have been declining for years as competition from syndicated talkers, DVRs, the increasing proliferation of channels and the change in the makeup of the daytime audience have taken its toll. Despite the scandalous and salacious storylines, even the soaps were no match for the excitement of Maury Povich's paternity tests and who-cheated-on-who on Jerry Springer.
While the dual cancellation does save money for the network, its effects on ABC-owned stations and other top market affiliates – could be impacted.
In addition to Children and One Life, many of these same stations are also losing The Oprah Winfrey Show next month as the host hangs up the mic to focus on her new cable network.
For WLS-TV, the change could have not come at a most interesting time. All three shows are ratings winners in Chicago – in fact, All My Children is still the top-rated soap in Chicagoland, despite ratings being a fraction of what they were 20 years ago. With three new shows in WLS' daytime lineup – including new local talker Windy City Live set to debut May 26 (a day after Oprah Winfrey's final episode airs), the station is set for its biggest schedule shakeup in many decades, and could finally be vulnerable after years of being on top.
After all, it was Oprah, Children, and One Life that set the stage for WLS' ratings dominance with the most stabilized schedule in the Chicago market. But despite these moves, WLS is expected to stay on top thanks to its solid news operation, though other stations in town (notably CBS-owned WBBM-TV, Tribune's WGN-TV and Weigel's WCIU) are expected to make some inroads as many daytime viewers are now up for grabs.
With the departure of both All My Children and One Life To Live, the networks' daytime schedules will be left with four – count 'em on ONE hand – four soaps: CBS' The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless; NBC's Days of Our Lives; and ABC's General Hospital, which would be the only soap left on the alphabet network. All are safe – for now. But it doesn't hide the fact that the daytime serial – which started on radio and had been a fixture since the early days of television – and as recently as 20 years ago could boast twelve programs across the networks' schedules – is on the verge of extinction.

Seek and Destroy () — песня метал-группы Metallica, девятая в их дебютном альбоме Kill 'Em All. Она одна из самых исполняемых песен группы. На декабрь 2018 года она была сыграна 1530 раз в ходе их концертов.

В списке лучших песен группы, созданном AOL Radio, Seek and Destroy заняла четвёртое место, а Allmusic выбрали её как AMG Track Pick на альбоме Kill 'Em All.

Создание
Песня об ощущении желания убить, но не делая этого. В ходе тура Kill 'Em All for One Хетфилд шутливо сказал, что она об охоте. Песня создана под сильным влиянием композиции Dead Reckoning группы Diamond Head. Первые три мини-соло образованы под впечатлением Princess of the Night группы Saxon. Metallica добавила последнее соло. На живых выступлениях перед последним соло вставку играет Хэтфилд. Со времени дебюта песни на Kill 'Em All, Хэмметт извиняется за необычную высокую ноту на моменте с 3:47 до 3:48 в ходе соло. Это действительно ошибка.

На живых выступлениях 1992—1993 годов вокальные партии вместо Хэтфилда исполнял Джейсон Ньюстед.

Участники записи
 Джеймс Хэтфилд: гитара, вокал
 Ларс Ульрих: барабаны
 Кирк Хэмметт: гитара
 Клифф Бёртон: бас-гитара

On the evening of Friday, June 30, Sarah Zeidan and Eric Markiewicz were killed in an automobile accident. Both were only 23 years old.
As a member of This Robot Kills, Voglio Capirlo, the Grey Electric, Galicja and Curse of the J, Sarah Zeidan was an active part of Detroit's music scene. She was a talented bass player and percussionist whose commitment and energy, expressed every time she played, were truly inspiring to those around her. The level of dedication Sarah brought to her musical endeavors matched the passion with which she lived. In music, in her friends, in life, Sarah always involved herself completely. She was one of the most genuinely nice and giving people you could ever hope to meet. She leaves a thousand images and a thousand lives touched. Those who knew her can honor Sarah's memory by never forgetting, and by sharing those images with others. She lives on with us.
As we struggle to form words that might bring some comfort or meaning to Sarah's tragic death, a passage from Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz seems appropriate. In that autobiographical work, Levi describes another person's infinite gift:
"I believe that it was really due to Lorenzo that I am alive today; and not so much for his material aid, as for having constantly reminded me by his presence, by his natural and plain manner of being good, that there still existed a just world outside our own, something and someone still pure and whole ..."
In writing this memorial for MT, I was told to avoid the strictly personal, to make this something all readers could understand. But, the most important thing about Sarah Zeidan wasn't her actions in an all-too-brief life, but, like Lorenzo, that she was simply a person who was good and alive. I feel honored to have known her and feel robbed that she is gone. And, like all her friends and family, I miss her very much.
Eric Markiewicz, also a professional in the local music scene, had a similar effect on everyone who was touched by his life. That two people so young and so willing to give are suddenly gone should force everyone to stop and reflect. Our sincere condolences to Sarah Zeidan and Eric Markiewicz's families and friends. There is a Web site dedicated to them, with photos and a message board. Please visit it.

text: The restoration of historic sites and monuments and their adaptation for community and cultural uses can be seen as a keystone to the successful urban rehabilitation of historic settlements. Steps in this process are the definition of stakeholder needs, the interface between conservation and sustainable community re-use, and the training requisite to carry out the programmes. A first question is why adaptive re-use is relevant in the effort to preserve historic areas. It is in this light that the Historic Cities Programme (HCP) approach and practice can be best understood, particularly with regard to the choice of a functional program and its philosophy of intervention. HCPs approach with respect to the re-use of historic buildings has developed as a result of involvement in preservation planning and conservation projects since its inception. The question of what to do with deteriorating, underused, sub-standard or vacant historic buildings emerges again and again. There can be no doubt that this is one of the most pressing issues in decaying historic areas throughout the world, and certainly no less so in the context of Islamic cities.

The LIMUN Foundation traces its roots to 2000, first known as LoMUN (London Model United Nations), having been conceived by students from the University of London who had attended a conference in Cambridge in 1999. "Sitting in Pizza Express, they decided to set up one in London, so half a year later we had the first LIMUN" recalls a long-time LIMUN associate. The aim became to organise an annual Model UN event in the cosmopolitan city of London, a fitting place for the ideals that embody the United Nations and where the world organisation was first based.
The first conference in 2000 involved about 200 delegates over 5 committees. By 2002 attendance had diversified to attract more participants from overseas, hence LoMUN was renamed LIMUN. In 2007, participation figures grew to about 500, and later to 700 over 12 committees in 2008. In 2009, LIMUN held its first milestone conference at King's College London, celebrating its 10th anniversary with 800 delegates spread across 12 committees. New committees were further introduced, expanding to about 16 in 2011. 2012 marked a new peak, as about 1,200 delegates were spread over 20 committees at Imperial College, which raised to 1500 participants over 25 committees in 2013. Our opening day venue became the prestigious Methodist Central Hall Westminster, where the very first session of the UN General Assembly was held in 1946. By then our ceremonies had also been attracting eminent figures and foreign diplomats. Since, LIMUN conferences have maintained participation between 1500 and 1800 attendees, and introduced a range of new side-events on the opening day from our Careers in the UN session to the Diplomats' Meet and Greet.
Concurrently in 2014, the London International Model United Nations charity was superseded by the LIMUN Foundation, structurally different to underline the diversification of our activities. More stress has since been placed on developing and sustaining outreach programmes.
In 2016, the first ever London International Model United Nations: High School took place, attracting 100 students. It has since grown to over 200 students in 2017 and continues to grow as part of LIMUN's initiative to increase access to MUN for students from state/state-funded schools and under-represented communities.

Over and over again, folks inform me that they've purchased an external hard disk to back up their pictures, songs, and records. Back up on mobile data: If you don't would like to wait for Wi-Fi to support your photos, under Mobile data back up, water faucet Photos or Online videos. If you publish using your mobile network, costs coming from your company might apply.
There are a number of cloud vendors which will be happy to take your amount of money to save your photos. Very most lately Adobe has actually gotten involved in the activity by highlighting Adobe Cloud in the new variation from Light room Plan spending money each terabyte each year. That builds up. But there are some means to function around that. One I've been actually trying out is Amazon Travel. For $60 each year you get certainly not simply 1TB from storage space, but unlimited photo storage (including RAW data). That is actually fairly awesome. Our team will observe how much time that lasts, however, as being one complication along with the cloud is actually the strategies keep altering. Microsoft and Google have both used generous storage space plannings in the past, simply to terminate all of them eventually.
Examine your data and photo backup regularly: When your backup body remains in the area, ensure to evaluate that, a minimum of each month or every other month. For example, make an effort restoring a tiny group of photos from the past. Also, check your data backup company to find if it consists of a function that permits you to evaluate a backup after it's comprehensive.
Dropbox, OneDrive, Google.com Ride, pCloud and also a lot of other cloud storage services create it very effortless making data backups from your documents, and the cost-free storage space on offer when you registration may only sufficient. You may pay for an affordable monthly or even yearly charge to acquire a great deal, even more, storing if that really isn't.
Ms. Vitale may fire pictures in a different way from just how a lot of our team grab photos at presents she shoots along with an electronic single-lens-reflex camera (or DSLR). But her sign of things to come ought to sound, considering that a number of the very same susceptibilities exist when capturing along with smartphones. In other words, if you're snapping out without a data backup think about your photographs, beware: In a flash, you can drop all of them all, for good.

Forensics Experts Conclude James Foley WAS Beheaded but Video was Likely Staged
By Ben Barrack on August 25, 2014 in General
According to forensics experts cited by the UK Times, the video that purports to show the commencement of the James Foley beheading was likely staged. This is not to say Foley is believed to be alive, only that the beheading took place off camera.
Via AU News:
The UK Times reported that an international forensic science company, which has worked for police forces across Britain, said there is no question Foley was beheaded but that camera trickery and post-production techniques look to have been used.
"I think it has been staged," said one expert in visual forensics, after he was commissioned by The UK Times to examine the footage.
"My feeling is that the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped."
As to the reasons why they believe the video was likely staged…
Firstly, no blood can be seen, even though the knife is drawn across the neck area at least six times. Secondly, sounds allegedly made by Foley do not appear consistent with what may be expected.
The forensic analysis expert said that no incision could be seen on Foley's neck, though the right hand of the jihadist partially blocked the shot.
While the forensics company, which asked to remain anonymous, did not reach a definitive answer they did conclude that at some point an execution of Foley did take place.
Another reason that has been given by others suspicious of the footage is that the entire beheading – with subsequent chants of 'Allahu Akbar' – was not recorded.

Cold Comfort: How the 'Hostile Environment' Reinforces Violence Against Women by Dr J

Cold Comfort: How the 'Hostile Environment' Reinforces Violence Against Women
by Dr J
This is part four of Cold Comfort, a regular series covering the NHS winter crisis from within A&E.
"Are you afraid he's going to kill you?" Frustrated at my own inability to understand where her headache is coming from, it slowly dawns on me that her chronic pain is a scar from the years of abuse she has suffered.
In A&E, we see the effects of violence against women every day. Unable to involve the police without the prior consent of the victim (unless others could be at risk), our hands are often tied, with women too scared to report abuse due to fears of further retribution. However, for some migrant women this fear is not limited to their own partner.
Whilst working in the community, I had a patient who I saw on multiple occasions for her injuries relating to domestic abuse. Despite the need to send her for x-rays to check for fractures, she refused to contact the police for fear of being detained by the Home Office. It was also one of the many lines her emotionally abusive husband would use to threaten her. Unable to return to her home country, and unable to leave her partner, she remained trapped in a cycle of abuse. One day, after returning home, she was raped and strangled. After this, she relented and called the police. When she was late for her next appointment, I tried to call her. She had been arrested.
It's impossible not to feel incredibly angry at a system that places vulnerable women in such awful circumstances. As somebody who encouraged her to speak to the police, I feel I am part of the system that has let her down. The 'hostile environment', so insisted upon by the government, has seen health sector workers forced to become Home Office informants.
A recent agreement between the Home Office and NHS Digital has compelled the NHS to hand over the details of thousands of undocumented migrants to be tracked down. The risks for patient safety are evident: the fear of coming to the doctor outweighs the physical symptoms, until patients present as an emergency, at a much greater cost to their own health, and to the NHS.
And it doesn't stop there. The extension of this 'hostile environment' saw upfront charging brought into the NHS for the first time ever in October last year. For those not eligible (i.e. not an ordinary resident in the UK or EEA, with a number of caveats and exemptions), all care not 'urgent or immediately necessary' must be paid for in full and up front. These changes extend beyond the hospital setting and into the community, affecting charitable sector organisations that receive NHS funding. One such example is with terminations of pregnancy.
Since the charging regulations came in, elective terminations do not fall under the 'urgent or immediately necessary' category – how, I'm not quite sure: pregnancy is a time-sensitive state with potentially life-threatening complications – and thus those deemed not entitled will be charged upfront for the cost. Terminations with Marie Stopes cost between £560 and £1750. Through my work I have heard anecdotal evidence of women being refused abortion due to lack of funds. Continuing a pregnancy to term is always more dangerous to a woman's health than terminating the pregnancy. Along with the very real risk of maternal mortality, a range of complications including (to name a few) urinary and faecal incontinence, fistulas, infection and kidney failure can occur.
Fortunately, through proper medical care, the risks associated with a termination can be minimized, however they still exist, and even in a well-staffed hospital things can go wrong. It's difficult to believe there are women who cannot afford an abortion and are forced into carrying a pregnancy to term in the UK in 2018. But there are.
In cases of rape and human trafficking these charges can be waived (supporting the idea that some women deserve access to safe terminations and others don't). However, teasing out this information requires time, skilled staff, and co-operation from the patient. The obvious consequence of these changes is to drive women to backstreet abortions or pills bought online, risking complications and delaying medical care.
The silver-lining for my patient who was arrested? At least she wasn't murdered, adding to the 104 annual deaths due to domestic violence in the UK. And in detention she will at least have access to a free abortion for the rape she's had to endure. Is she one of the lucky ones? It certainly doesn't feel like it.

Opinion: I'm a Care Worker and I'm on Strike – Here's Why
After months of failed negotiations with management, workers at SAGE care home in Golders Green, north London, are going on strike this weekend. Here, one carer sets out what she's fighting for: not just her colleagues and residents, but the entire care industry.
Report: Unable to Reunite With Their Families Post-Brexit, Child Refugees Face Untold Dangers
Brexit will make it far harder for asylum seekers to be reunited with their families. Unaccompanied children risk falling out of the asylum system and into the hands of smugglers and traffickers, reports Lauren Crosby Medlicott.
Opinion: The Home Office Doesn't Care Who It Deports – the Jamaica Flight Proved This
Activists and lawyers should not have had to intervene this week to stop the Tories deporting people with a legal right to be in the UK, writes Nadia Whittome MP. The Jamaica deportation flight shows that for the Home Office, if you're black, poor and have a foreign passport, that's enough to fast-track you out.
Report: Stop the Flight: Jamaica Deportation Shows Tories 'Doubling Down' on Hostile Environment, Activists Say
Just a week after a report found the government's hostile environment policies broke equalities law and contributed to injustices faced by the Windrush generation, the Home Office plans to deport up to 50 men to Jamaica on Wednesday. Sophie K Rosa reports as activists race to stop the flight.
Opinion: Sunak's Spending Review Is a Drop of Water in a Desert – the Left Must Demand More
From divide-and-rule public sector pay freezes to ripe-for-corruption local spending schemes, Sunak's plan is radically insufficient for our current crisis. The left must forward an alternative, and quick, writes James Meadway.
Opinion: Mental Healthcare May Never Recover From Coronavirus
Despite a backlog of cases, the government still doesn't have a plan for helping the already overstretched mental health sector cope with the strain brought on by Covid-19. This needs to change or the impact will be felt for years to come, argues Sian Bradley.
Opinion: Why Scrapping Hostile Environment Policies Would Benefit Kids, Parents and Childcare Workers
This year many families have scrambled for childcare solutions - often in the form of informal childcare. Against a renewed push for regularisation from some parts of the sector, Miranda Hall and Veronica Deutsch argue our sights ought to be set on the anti-migrant policies which force people to work invisibly.


One who observes and thinks about what has been seen, what has passed by my way, what greater meaning lies behind and beneath life's small events.
When Evan dropped dead in front of his golfing foursome, Frank responded quickly.
Clem interrupted. "Well, you insisted on a morning tee-off time. Wet grass is always brutal then."
All looked down at Evan's still body.
Frank shook his head. "No help for it. Let's head back to the clubhouse after we play the next hole. We'll tell the Front Desk about Evan." He nudged Evan once more with a heavy sigh.
This is a 2015 re-post with some re-writing. Underlined words are from Wednesday Words, developed by Delores as a way for writers to challenge themselves.
I really love using words that have absolutely no connection to each other.
I smiled, having known couple golfers that were this dedicated to the game. Even one that died on the course. However he always said that there was always a Dr. close by on the course. LOL But sadly not that day.
But yeah, you did good! Love it!
Obsession can take one away.
Well done. My brother in law would have kept playing. Hit the ball drag Evan.
Hm. Frank wouldn't have dragged Evan. Clem might have.
How thoughtless of Evan to ruin their game.
Right. I mean, Evan should have at least given them all a heads-up.
Before he went 'toes up'.
At least Evan went the way he would have liked. Even if he would have wished a little more dignity for his remains.
One of my sisters in law has definite Frank tendencies.
It was very strange. It was about 11:30 last night when suddenly my wife shouted, "Golf ... Golf ... Golf ... That's all you speak about. That's all you do. Golf ... Always golf!"
I tell you. It was out of the blue, and I was startled out of my life. I never expected to see her on the golf course at that time of night. I was practising quietly and there she was. Shouting at the top of her voice.
HA! That'll teach you! Next time, provide her with ear buds. Wear dark clothing. Wear those night vision goggles.
While golfing, the worst thing I ever came across was chiggers (little mite bugs) they itched bad at first. Then they tore my leg up.
I can safely say that my knowledge and "love" of golf is limited to the MINIATURE kind...lol.
I'm sure that the next foursome found him. Hopefully one of them had a soul and called the clubhouse, before playing through.
Oh, such memories. The Bishop would have needed more than just that.
I hope Evan didn't leave a divot when he dropped dead.
He may have fallen on it.
Oh, dear. He was certainly part of a dedicated group.
Evan would have understood the action. He would have done the same.
Golfing is a lifestyle for many, especially retirees. I remember reading about Bing Crosby. Apparently he was not a very nice man and an even worse dad. He lived life on his terms and beliefs but was often hypocritical. He was a man in his late seventies, and was out golfing with some buddies and won the round. As I remember, he was heading for the nineteenth hole and suddenly dropped dead from a heart attack. No pain, no lingering, just dead. Best way to go.
That is just the way he would have wanted.
I had heard that this was his character. Loooong ago, one of his sons wrote something to that effect. Sad.
Oh man. He ruined their golf game? With his dying? How rude.
I love them, wear them watching TV.
They're going to walk off and leave him there? Thank heavens this is fiction.
At least, we can hope it is fiction.
We can see a golf course from our house. In our retirement community, golf is a social event and exercise.
I would not golf for any reason possible.
Hi Susan, I found your interesting blog here thanks to some kind comments you left on mine. Thank you. I am not a golfer but I do enjoy, as you will know, a nice walk each morning. My walk is about 3 miles and takes me nearly an hour. I continue to be amazed at what this does to my thought process. For some reason clarity arrives frequently during the walk and I suddenly have a new take on some issue in my life. I love that. Now, to make a long story longer, on March 1st, I decided to set a little personal challenge for myself to walk the 3 miles, take a few photos, and then post the photos on my blog. This has renewed my interest in blogging in several ways and one of them is getting comments from new (to me) bloggers. I've found this to be a more rewarding way to participate in social media than using, for example, Facebook or Twitter. Sorry for the long comment but your blog set me into the reflective mode ... something I always appreciate. Thank you for sharing. I hope to see you again at John's Island and good walking to you!
Walking through your incredible land would inspire me too. You live in such green and lovely place.
Was this in honor of the Masters?
Yes, we were getting ready to enjoy this one.
I recall working on a golf course once and the greenskeeper pointing and saying dont laugh. So I peeked and saw a golfer teeing off. She had the funniest hop and swing as she hit her golf ball with her feet in the air, did I laugh? Yes and I got a dig in the ribs, oh but it was worth it.
Why did she develop that stance!? Oh, that would be funny.
Okay you got me, What is this about waffles? I realize I am lost a lot of the time, but here I am lost. LOL I do enjoy your comments, they are a joy!
Oops. I was heading over to Cranky Old Man, who was wrestling with toasting a waffle to his wife's standards! Oh, that is strange!
I have never golfed but knew plenty of people who did. I never could understand the fascination of hitting a small ball and then go find it and hit it again. It's good exercise they say, yes it is but I would rather walk around and take photos. Some people find that boring but you do what you like and enjoy it.
Exactly, for me too. To focus on a white ball instead of a bird soaring in the sky is a waste.
I understand that many older people use this time as exercise and socializing, which makes sense. That is great.
I'm running very late, but my life has not been my own recently. I had to laugh at the post. That's a humorous story, dear. I also like the photo and the caption reflects my thoughts perfectly.
Go ahead...it won' t hurt...I'd love to hear what you think!
In God's Hands, I am safe.
God has provided for me in every way, watched me, and led me.
Go on! Take a chance!

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is one of the largest HPC and enterprise computing vendors in the world. The company was created as a result of a splitting of the venerable Hewlett Packard company into two parts: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and HP Inc.
HPE is focused on servers, storage, networking, and consulting for business and HPC markets. HPE is one of the largest players in HPC with 84 systems on the Top500 list of the fastest supercomputers in the world. In terms of performance share, HPE tops the list with its systems representing 18.6% total performance share.
While HPE and its predecessor HP have always played a large role in HPC, the company became even more prominent with the acquisition of HPC pioneer Silicon Graphics (SGI) in in 2016. But HPE's biggest move in HPC happened in 2019 when they purchased supercomputing leader Cray. These acquisitions have immeasurably strengthened HPE's advantages in the HPC market while fueling innovative new products and services.
HPE will be delivering the first exascale systems in the United States with the Aurora system at Argonne National Laboratory, the Frontier system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the El Capitan system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
For more information about HPE and HPC
Guest Commentator Mike Woodacre: Mike is an HPE Fellow and the company's CTO of HPC and MCS. In the interview, he talks about how the competition strikes a chord with him because he's the first one in his family to complete his education. We also talk about the current competition standings and what's ahead for the teams.
HPE Shocks Competition - In a Good Way
The 2022 Winter Classic Student Cluster Competition is a grueling eight week marathon, combining HPC education and cutthroat competition as student teams optimize real-world HPC benchmarks and apps on mentor provided supercomputers. This competition is unique in that it exclusively features Historically Black Colleges and Universities along with Hispanic Serving Institutions, all competing for the 2022 Winter Classic Invitational Overall Championship, which is sponsored by Microsoft Azure.
Our vehicle for providing updates on the competition is the "2022 Winter Classic Invitational Student Cluster Competition Studio Update Show" (22WCISCCS), a fast moving talk show that takes a Monday Night Football-like approach to covering the event. Addison Snell and Dan Olds of Intersect360 Research host the show and bring on special guest commentators from time to time.
The latest show featured Justin Hotard, General Manager of HPC and AI at HPE. The company is one of the competition mentors, hosting the twelve student teams on HPE clusters, and teaching them how to run the HPCG and LINPACK benchmarks. You can see the results from that part of the competition here and learn about the HPE mentoring process here.
Near the end of the show, Justin Hotard dropped a bombshell on Addison and Dan that left them flummoxed. One feature of the Winter Classic competitions is the Brueckner Award, a scholarship award given to outstanding participants in the competition. This year, Intersect360 Research is giving a $1,000 scholarship to one student on each of the twelve teams. Well, that was the case until we interviewed Justin....
The interview was going great. We discussed the competition, broke down the leaderboard, and talked about the need for new talent in HPC/AI. Then, as we were closing out the show, Justin made his big announcement.
First, HPE is adding $12,000 to the Brueckner Award scholarship fund - doubling the scholarship award for one student on each team to $2,000. And then....he upped the ante even more by adding an additional $500 for each team PERSONALLY to the scholarship fund. This makes each individual scholarship worth $2,500....wow.
Everybody talks about getting more students interested in HPC careers. They also talk about expanding the diversity in HPC. But not so many actually put their money where their mouth is when the rubber meets the road. HPE and Justin Hotard just did exactly that.


Penticton locals Mia Harris (mezzo soprano), Christine Robinson (soprano), and Dennis Nordlund (piano) are set to tour the Okanagan with a classical music recital in duet entitled "Giving Voice".The program is unique in that half of the music is entirely in duet, highlighting the distinct beauty and blend of voices, and the special connection between musicians.The program also features solo works including Samuel Barber's "Knoxville, Summer of 1915".
The program also includes a new work by local award-winning composer Nicholas Kelly, conductor of the Penticton Tuneagers.

My little man turned 3 last weekend. The babe who made me a mama is now a superhero-lovin' blur of motion. A noise with dirt on it as I read somewhere.
Riding bikes and coloring in the playroom kept the party-goers entertained until it was time for the highlight of every birthday party: the cake.
I love throwing parties like this. And I really appreciate that my husband/family/friends jump on board to make it happen. I'm pretty certain the Squirt would have been just as happy with a trip to Chucky Cheese as long as there were friends and a cake, but I love having a full house and getting creative.
Anyone else throwing a kid party this month? Any tips for making it easier? Thanks for reading!
It was awesome and I need to give you the pics I took!
Definitely! ;) Let me know what your plans are for Miss Makeda's 2nd bday!!
Thank you Rachael! PS My middle name is (was, pre-marriage) Rachel and I always wished it was spelled the way yours is. Lovely.
Seriously, how do you do it? Three kiddos under 3 and you pull off a party like this?!? Wow - what's your secret?? I LOVE the cake! Bikes are big in our house right now, so I need to remmeber this for L's 2nd birthday this fall!
We LOVE the Strider balance bike that we bought for E two Christmases ago (he was 18 mths old). Most of the kids at the party had the same kind of bike...Brit is already walking around on it and wanting to ride.


Once an individual meets the qualifications for the conditions set in the Blue Book, he or she can qualify for disability benefits regardless of age, education, gender, work experience, or whether the evaluating physician says the person has functional limitations, such as being unable to walk or lift objects. Even if an individual doesn't meet the qualifications, he or she can still be eligible if he or she can convince the SSA that the condition is 'medically equivalent' to the listing.
Meeting a listing means you have to present medical evidence that prove you have the same symptoms, lab results, and clinical signs as the listed impairment. The SSA Blue Book identifies the criteria for each listing to ensure that the agency uses accurate evaluation techniques and approves only the most severe impairments for disability.
Your impairment is listed, but the symptoms do not meet certain criteria identified in the SSA Blue Book. however, if you have other symptoms or conditions that relate to the listed impairment and that are of 'equal medical value' as the listing's requirements, your condition can be considered equal to that listing, and you can qualify for benefits.
Your impairment is not listed, but your symptoms are the same or almost similar to those of a certain disability listing. If the SSA deems your impairments 'medically equal' to those of another listing, your condition can be considered equal to the listing.
You suffer from a number of impairments. Even if none of your symptoms or conditions meet an impairment listing individually, you can still meet a listing if your medical records show that your impairments are of 'equal medical value' to the required criteria for a listing.
You or your Michigan Social Security disability lawyer need to present your case to the SSA and prove how and why your impairments equal a specific listing. In addition, you need to supply medical evidence that supports your case. You and your lawyer can provide this evidence with the help of your treating physician. If your physician is willing to state on record that your symptoms make you just as impaired as someone who suffers from a particular listed condition, while also providing the medical evidence to back his or her claim, SSA will take your doctor's opinion into serious consideration.
Ultimately, the responsibility of proving that your impairments equal a listing falls on you. That said, it can be difficult to identify which listing you might equal without professional help. Work with a Michigan Social Security disability lawyer to ensure you are guided along the process accordingly. For the best Social Security disability advice and representation in Michigan, get in touch with trusted law firms such as the Goldin Law Firm.

Q: Pointer to Parent Class Member Method I am trying to get the following simple code to work:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

class Parent {
public:
    void method(int a) {
        std::cout << "Parent::method(" << a << ")" << std::endl;
    }
};

class Child : public Parent {
public:

};

template <typename T>
std::function<void()> test(T* v, void(T::* fn)(int)) {
    return std::function<void()>([v, fn](){
        v->fn(10);
    });
}

int main() {
    Child c;

    std::function<void()> fn = test(&c, &Child::method);

    fn();

    return 1;
}

But am getting the following error:
note:   template argument deduction/substitution failed:
note:   deduced conflicting types for parameter 'T' ('Child' and 'Parent')
  std::function<void()> fn = test(&c, &Child::method);

I get the same problem if I change my pointer to Parent::method. Since Child "is a" parent, why is the compiler unable to deduce this template?
Thanks!

A:
Child "is a" parent

It is in the object-oriented sense. But template argument deduction is primarily about type identity.
&Child::method names a member of Parent. It may be accessible in Child but it is declared in Parent. So the only available deduction of T from that member is Parent. On the other hand, the pointer deduces T to be Child. The identity of T here cannot be uniquely determined. So it's a deduction failure.
But we can still write your function template with a tweak:
template <class C, class P>
std::function<void()> test(C* v, void(P::* fn)(int)) {
    return std::function<void()>([v, fn](){
        (v->*fn)(10);
    });
}

Now the classes are deduced in their own context, without affecting the other. This can be enough as is (since (v->*fn)(10) will be ill-formed for unrelated classes). But additional checks may be put in-place to make the overload sfinae friendly.

A: The pointer &Child::method is a member function pointer to a method in Parent. The fact that Child can access this method is irrelevant as far as template argument deduction is concerned. The compiler sees that and deduces a Parent for the T parameter based on the first argument. At the same time, it deduces Child for T based on the first argument &c. This conflicts and you get an error.
You can get around this by putting the second argument of the function template in a non-deduced context
template <typename T>
struct I { using type = T; };

template <typename T>
std::function<void()> test(T* v, void(I<T>::type::* fn)(int)) {
                                   // ^________^  T here is not deduced
    return std::function<void()>([v, fn](){
        (v->*fn)(10);
    });
}

Now template argument deduction is unaffected, but you can still call method since it's accessible from the Child class.


Measuring Humanity – Measuring health and inequalities through creativity and connectivity.
How to capture the unmeasurable aspects of the human experience? To feel, to relate, to connect is fundamentally human. To feel, to relate, to connect is fundamentally linked to our health and wellbeing.
But how to 'prove' this? How to 'evidence' that when people come together in community, their health and wellbeing improves? Is it true that 'if you can't measure it, it does not exist'? Or are we 'measuring' in a way that doesn't give us access to some community members' truth(s)? Thinking of 'evidence' in a way that doesn't acknowledge the role of creativity and neglects to give us access to the human experience? And what is 'truth' anyway?
These are some of the big questions that have been swirling in my head since 2013 when I first entered 'the field' for the project that would become Measuring Humanity. Walking the streets of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Glasgow and using radio, theatre, singing and music to connect with diverse communities, I was trying to understand what it means to be 'well'. How do different communities experience health? What stops some community members from accessing services? And what changes will ultimately lead to improvements in health and wellbeing for marginalised communities thereby reducing widening inequalities?
The more I connected through creative community engagement, the more it seemed I got closer to accessing community members' 'truths'. The closer I got to understanding how lived experiences relate to health and wellbeing. The challenge was how to systematically capture these 'softer' outcomes against the more tangible 'harder' performance measures and targets saturating the health policy and practice landscape? How to develop and pilot a framework to evaluate and justify this type of work as this is what I was funded by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde to do?
I was to come up with a mechanism to capture data obtained through creative community engagement, asset-based working and co-production in a 'meaningful and measurable' way in order to monitor and evaluate asset-based approaches and applications in a way that links to organisational targets, outcomes and policies. And so the asset-based indicator framework (ABIF) was conceptualised and applied for the first time with a so called 'hard-to-reach' community. Amazing things happened.
But the process threw up more questions and so Measuring Humanity was born supported by an ESRC Impact Accelerator Grant. A space for us push the boundaries of our critical thinking when it comes to evidence, targets and outcomes in health policy and practice. Are metrics helping or impeding health system improvements and equality? Why are we obsessed with performance measurement and what are the unintended consequences? An opportunity to collectively change the way health and inequalities in community settings is understood and 'measured'. A place to 'validate the feels'. A chance to inform local, national and international policies on equality, community empowerment, poverty and sustainability from the bottom-up. A way to use these upstream approaches to challenge systemic issues and structural causes of inequalities.
If any of this speaks to you, please do get involved on our Projects page, Community of Practice or by hitting Contact.
Dr Marisa de Andrade gives us the lowdown on Measuring Humanity.
What is truth? What is evidence? How do we move from the subjective to the objective?

Q: Cannot find symbol error even if they are on the same directory in Java I have two files in the same directory namely Main.java and Functions.java
The content of Main.java is this:
import java.util.Scanner;

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String s = scan.next();

        Functions you = new Functions(s);

        System.out.println("Your name is " + you);
    }
}

And Functions.java:
public class Functions {
    public String name;

    public Functions(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return name;
    }
}

I manually compile and run them on my terminal. So this is what I did:
javac folder1/folder2/*.java
And after
java folder1/folder2/Main.java
But it gives me an error of this:
error: cannot find symbol
Functions you = new Functions(s);
symbol:   class Functions

Even though they are on the same directory, it will still give an error.
Edit: I interchanged my code for compiling and running. Sorry for that.

A: *

*run javac Main.java

*run java Main
Note 1: You don't need to explicitly compile the files which are being used in the file you're compiling. If Java compiler sees, that you're using class B in the class A, Java will implicitly compile all the classes (including class B) when compiling the container class (class A, in this case).
Note 2: If you're using JDK >=11, then you can just compile+run the program with one command. JEP 330, Launch Single-File Source-Code Programs, is one of the new features introduced in the JDK 11 release. So, you can just run java ClassName.java.

A: The issue is classpath.
folder1
| folder2
| | Main.java
| | Functions.java

After you run javac folder1/folder2/*.java you'll have class files.
folder1
| folder2
| | Main.class
| | Main.java
| | Functions.class
| | Functions.java

Since your classes are not in a package then folder2 needs to be on the classpath. To run main.
java -cp folder1/folder2 Main

Notice that I left off the .java on the name of the class.
If you don't want to supply the -cp argument (sets the classpath) you can cd folder1/folder2 then you'll be in the folder with the class files. You can just type.
java Main

I tried this with your java files. When it works you won't see any output until you press enter.


Today, work can happen from anywhere, at any time. More and more employees are staying connected via various mobile devices, spending a large part of their day untethered. Companies that don't provide the correct tools and technology for their growing mobile workforce are limiting how successful their employees are.
Are you giving your employees the tools they need to succeed? Knowing what your mobile workforce needs for success will pay dividends into the future.

Q: How to debug and view HTML ans CSS source code for Android default browser? I always have issue with the CSS styling in the default Android browser while building my responsive website. What I usually do was doing trials and errors on pc until the problem was solved.
There is a tool for chrome browser:
https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
but chrome usually display fine for me just that I need a debugging tool for the default Android browser. Is there any solution for this?

A: I'm not aware of any way to test on the old android browser using remote debugging, as new devices nowadays (Anything post 4.0) have chrome installed by default on Android.
One method you can use to help with testing responsive/mobile sites is using Chrome's mobile emulation tool
Either select a device on that list, or fake out the user agent with something from this page http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Android%20Webkit%20Browser/

Scalpel-Free Procedures, Looking younger
A Bright, Beautiful You!
MITSCHANG February 23, 2010 0 Comments

Cosmetic surgery, skin care, and dental experts reveal what's new, innovative, and refreshingly affordable
While many of us have curtailed our spending, we still make our appearance a high priority. In fact, Americans seem largely undaunted in their quest for perfection, according to a 2009 survey sponsored by RealSelf.com.
"If money wasn't an issue, what would you do to improve your appearance?" the survey asked. Respondents said the pursuit of pearly whites topped their wish list, followed by tummy tuck surgery and liposuction. These days, money is an issue. Few of us can squander precious time recovering from an elective nip and tuck. Thankfully, many affordable procedures can boost your beauty quotient without breaking the budget.
Face Value: Scalpel-Free Procedures
Looking younger no longer requires going under the knife. Nonsurgical procedures make it easy to chase years from your face, often with minimal expense or fuss.
"Patients want little down time, little expense, and little pain," says board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sofonio. "Thanks to a wave of effective noninvasives, we can deliver on the idea that less is in fact more."
Sofonio favors task-specific lasers that do everything from tightening slack skin to removing spider veins. Intense Pulsed Light, a nonsurgical stimulator, boasts collagen-boosting capabilities, as well.
Dr. Scott Aaronson, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Palm Springs, endorses the Co2 Laser, adept at resurfacing age-worn skin and refreshing dull complexions. He describes it as the "gold standard" of laser technology.
Fillers and injectables, also known as "liquid face-lifts," have become cosmetic beauty mainstays. "Patients prefer noninvasive procedures, and we have many options to give them great results," says Dr. Timothy Jochen of Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center. "By building up the face with fillers to add volume, resurfacing skin with lasers and peels, and using Botox for wrinkles, we've moved away from the pulled, gaunt look to achieve a more natural outcome."
Dysport, a new competitor to Botox, acts as a neuromuscular block to banish forehead and frown lines, with results lasting three to four months. Longer-lasting fillers like Restylane and Juvederm camouflage flaws for up to a year. Still others like Radiance and the recently FDA-approved Sculptra can ward off wrinkles for two years. Those seeking a lasting fix can opt for Artefil, the only permanent dermal filler approved by the FDA.
Better by a SMILE
Given the sheer impact a beautiful smile has on the rest of your face, it's no surprise dental work remains somewhat recession-resistant. Dramatic results typically call for porcelain veneers, which hide discoloration, mask misalignment, and create a "designer smile." Veneers are fantastic if you can afford them; price per tooth ranges from $750 to $2,100. Rancho Mirage esthetic dentist Dr. Robert Strain suggests patients hoping to minimize their cash outlay consider direct veneers instead.
"Direct veneers are made of composite and cost about a third less than regular veneers," Strain says. "Great results require considerable skill from the dentist and can last from three to 10 years."
El Paseo Smiles founder Dr. David Westerberg says another new option worth investigating is the Snap-On Smile, a thin, removable resin appliance worn on your real teeth. "Patients looking for a noninvasive, affordable approach to restorative and cosmetic dentistry are excellent candidates for Snap-On Smile," he says. "It has a natural look and feel and a brief time investment to achieve life-changing results."
Dr. Rene' Dell'Acqua of Dell'Acqua Dental Studio agrees that cosmetic "quick fixes" remain in high demand. "The 'bang for the buck' procedures are definitely bonding, gingival recontouring, enamel reshaping, and bleaching," Dell'Acqua says. "We can close spaces, make teeth appear straighter, change their shape and length, and make them lighter. The change is magical because in about one hour, patients leave with a different smile."
Prosthodontist Dr. Robert McLachlan of Desert Dental Specialty Group notes that with so many options to choose from, it's important for patients to educate themselves to find procedures that best suit them. "Chewing habits, jaw-to-jaw relationships, size of the smile, and health of the gum tissue are only a few factors that could influence the choice of materials and procedures," McLachlan says.
Body Language: Look Leaner Without Breaking a Sweat
In 2010, trends to watch include improved body contouring for weight-loss surgery patients and new techniques for noninvasive tummy tucks. Those seeking to minimize a "muffin top" might consider Zerona, a painless, body-slimming laser that promises to melt away unsightly bulges in just a few treatments. Dr. Kenneth Jesser, a board-certified vein specialist and expert in laser technology, has seen patients lose six inches of fat in two weeks using Zerona. "I see it as a great jump-start to a diet or weight-loss regimen," Jesser says.
Another treatment garnering headlines is Zeltiq, dubbed "the cool way to remove fat." Zeltiq uses cryolipolysis technology to freeze and eliminate flab with "no needles, no incisions, no anesthesia, and no recovery time."
Bariatric surgery has increased dramatically in recent years and, as a result, plastic surgeons see more patients for body contouring and lifts, which may offer health and beauty benefits.
"The removal of excess skin following dramatic weight loss is often medically necessary," says Dr. David Morrow, medical director of The Morrow Institute Medical Group. "Flaps of hanging skin can create serious health problems, so the concern is not simply cosmetic."
Morrow's practice specializes in procedures for the face and body, plus many affordable rejuvenation treatments. But Morrow cautions that while it's tempting to bargain shop, patients should always seek the best-qualified care available.
"In my 30 years of practice, I have seen new and exciting techniques come and go. But at times like these, I believe it is best to stick with good, basic principles when selecting a surgeon and deciding upon a procedure," Morrow says.
He advises patients considering any type of cosmetic enhancement to take the time to investigate the doctor and the procedure carefully. "Checking for credentials and getting more than one opinion is always recommended."

Autism cases are on the rise and there are tons of potential causes thrown around in the media. Despite all of the finger pointing and clinical research, no definitive causes have been established, so pregnant women are at the mercy of luck - or are they? According to a new study from researchers at UC Davis, there could be a link between fever and autism and fever is easy to treat.
The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. Any temperature reading over that can loosely be considered a fever. Everyone's normal body temperature fluctuates throughout the day anywhere from 97 degrees to 100 degrees depending on many factors, including room temperature and age.
Trustworthy and definitive studies in the field of autism research exist, but there are some underlying flaws in most studies that leave room for error. When it comes to preventing autism, that room for error should be as narrow as possible. The participants in the UC Davis study were not interviewed in person and there were no medical records pulled. A phone interview was held and the women called were asked questions about flu, fever and medications. For the sake of the study, the term fever was not defined by the researchers. Participants were only asked if they had a fever during pregnancy, when they fever developed and what medication(s) they took for the fever.
While the study does open questions about a possible cause of autism, it leaves much to be desired in terms of definitive results. There were no numbers or temperature measurements noted in the study. If the normal body temperature fluctuates throughout the day up to a measurement of 100 degrees, in some cases, how do the researchers know if there was truly a fever or just a perceived fever associated with normal body fluctuations?
Even with the questions surrounding this study, it is never healthy for pregnant women to wait out a fever. Always contact your attending healthcare provider and take a pregnancy-approved anti-fever medication to bring your body temperature back to normal.

Security systems corporate
This was the client's first real foray into video. The key challenge was to describe the business as a whole, each of its key services, but keep the video as short as possible and allow the viewer to contextualise everything as the video went on.
The source was a tight script from the marketing agency and a concept for the logo graphics which highlighted the many-as-one structure and allowed the various divisions to be chained together.
The shoot was a single day at various proximate locations, plus a supplementary short session further away. We purposely put the CEOs intro within the main office so as to give an inclusive feel to the company.
Following completion the final phase was to get the client live on YouTube and get the channel branded and keyworded properly.

Robert Mugabe resigned as Zimbabwe's President on Tuesday after 37 years of autocratic rule, finally succumbing to the pressure of a military takeover and the humiliation of impeachment.
As the speaker read out a letter from Mugabe, lawmakers broke out in thunderous applause. The impeachment proceedings were immediately suspended.
Mugabe's successor, according to a spokesman for the ZANU-PF party, will be former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, whose firing by Mugabe precipitated the crisis.
In the streets outside, crowds erupted in rapturous celebrations, dancing and cheering in joy, raising their fists and waving Zimbabwean flags.
It was the culmination of an extraordinary week in the history of Zimbabwe that began when the country's military leaders staged an unprecedented intervention to prevent the ascent to power of Mugabe's 52-year-old wife, Grace.
Mugabe's announcement was an acknowledgement of the inevitable. In reality, he lost his grip on power six days ago when the country's top generals launched what amounted to a military coup, placing the veteran leader under house arrest.
After nearly four decades of unimpeded rule, which began amid the triumph of independence from Britain, Mugabe's political downfall unfolded in just two weeks.
