It used to be a common phrase: "What's your PIN?" or "Send me your PIN." I remember seeing people putting their PIN on the back of their vehicles in large white stickers pasted across fully tinted windows. It was called BBM or Blackberry Messenger, and it kicked off a craze in communications that have slowly taken complete control over the way humans interact.

Whitepaper, co-authored by Informatica and HighPoint Solutions, shares insights on the future of application retirement for healthcare.
Healthcare quality and sustained improvements in clinical outcomes have always been embraced by both provider and payer communities. When ACA authorized the Star Quality Bonus Program for Medicare Advantage, health plans had the opportunity to achieve a significant financial benefit from striving for and achieving metrics around the "Triple Aim"—population health, reduced cost, and patient/member satisfaction.
How Informatica products can improve quality of care, increase revenue, and enhance business agility with trusted data for healthcare organizations.
UPMC is a world-class healthcare delivery provider, with more than 20 hospitals and 400 clinical locations, encompassing long-term care and senior living facilities, as well as a growing international and commercial segment. To develop their analytics platform,UPMC studied the market and chose vendors that had specific capabilities. UPMC chose Informatica chiefly for the end-to-end solution provided.

The CP-721 voltage relay is used to control the single-phase voltage and to protect the single-phase load from the effects of voltage increase or decrease outside the set values.
In the operating mode, the display shows the value of the currently measured voltage.
The lower threshold (UL) and upper (UH) set by the user determines the voltage threshold. voltage window, within which voltage changes may occur, which do not cause the relay to operate. With the correct supply voltage, the relay contact remains closed. Changing the supply voltage above or below the set voltage thresholds will open the contact with a time delay set by the user. The red LED illuminates when the contact closes. Exceeding the voltage above 5 V from the set thresholds UH and UL is signaled by the pulsation of the values displayed on the display.
The relay will be connected again automatically in case of a permanent voltage value of 5 V in relation to the set threshold values UH and UL for the return time set by the user.
The relay can be supplied with voltage up to 450 V ~. This allows effective protection of the receiver even when the voltage is higher than the permissible standard. The device is protected against changing the polarity of the power supply - this will not destroy ("burn") the relay.

Working 9-5 - Prince Harry Starts An Office Job
23rd March, 2021
Prince Harry has been given a role at a mental health start-up based in Silicon Valley.
The duke of Sussex is serving as chief impact officer at BetterUp, a coaching and mental health firm, according to the company's website.
News of the hire was first reported on Tuesday by the Wall Street Journal, which also spoke to the prince.
The website for the company, which was founded in 2013 and provides mobile-based professional coaching, counselling and mentorship, lists the prince as a member of its leadership team.
The prince has been living in California with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their son Archie for the past year.
He told the Wall Street Journal that he has taken the job so he can "help create impact in people's lives".
"Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness and an all-round better life," he said.
Since the pair moved to the US, they have begun forging careers outside of royal life.
The couple has set up a production company called Archewell Productions and started a podcast under the name Archewell Audio, inking deals with Netflix and Spotify.
The companies are in addition to their charitable foundation, Archewell, which aims to "uplift and unite communities".
Prince Harry and Meghan both announced they were "stepping back" as senior members of the royal family in February 2020.
In a highly-anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier in March, the pair said their decision to step back from their roles was influenced by negative and racist press coverage they faced.

Advice and musings from the Guru Academic Advising Team
The college admissions process can be stressful, time-consuming, and confusing. Fear not! We are here to help set you on a path to presenting yourself as the best applicant you can be.
LISD Changes Class Rank Policy (What happened. Why it matters. What we still need to know.)
On Monday the LISD Board of Trustees voted to approve a change to its class rank policy. All students outside the top 10% will have to choose whether or not they would like rank included or excluded from the materials the school sends to colleges. This will begin with the class of 2019.
The decision is motivated by a desire to encourage colleges to use a more holistic review for every student by making decisions on factors outside of just GPA and class rank. In other Texas districts, removing rank has resulted in significant increases in the percentages of students outside the top 10% accepted to A&M and UT.
However, as more Texas districts have shifted to no-rank systems, UT, A&M, and other in-state public colleges have devised their own systems to approximate rank when none is given. This is out of necessity: A&M, for example, received 35,494 applications in 2017 for freshman admission. At that volume, the admissions staff cannot read every application. Large public colleges often rely on algorithms that use numerical data to provide information that constitutes the bulk of an admissions decision. Removing rank creates a whole in that system, and the college has to patch it as best as possible. For some students, this might be helpful, but for others it will be hurtful.
The district has explained the decision as also being motivated to discourage students from playing the "GPA game" -- taking classes for the sole purpose of boosting their GPA, and rank, instead of because the class best matches their goals and objectives. This policy change, coupled with the lesser weight for AP and PAP classes voted on last December, is a step in the right direction for that end. I have long bemoaned the GPA game as well, but since Texas public schools cannot get rid of the top 10% rankings, I'm not sure how much this disincentives students as so many are playing the game to get into that upper-echelon of the decile scale.
I have two questions I have asked about this change, using the form created for questions.
1. When do students have to make a decision about whether or not they want rank included on their transcripts?
2. Can students opt to have rank excluded for some colleges but included for others?
The college admission landscape is so diverse that what might be advantageous at one school for admission might be disadvantageous for another, especially when scholarships hinge on class rank percentages. I see many students on my current roster who would most benefit from the choice of having rank excluded for their application to UT or A&M, but included for scholarship purposes at other schools, such as St. Edward's, Texas Tech, or Texas State.
I'm looking forward to reviewing more information as it becomes available and I welcome your comments, questions, or concerns as this policy change relates to the broader world of college admission.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT – Stealth Game: "Community" Conservancies and Dispossession in Northern Kenya
Download PDFPrint Article
On the 12th of March 2020, the Ministry of Health (MoH) announced that a deadly, silent enemy had shown up at Kenya's door. This would be the country's first COVID-19 case since the beginning of the outbreak in China in December 2019.
With little information about exactly what the country was going to be up against, Health Cabinet Secretary (CS) Mutahi Kagwe addressed the nation flanked by top government officials.
"The case is a Kenyan citizen who travelled back to Nairobi returning from the United States of America via London, United Kingdom on the 5th March 2020. She was confirmed positive by the National Influenza Centre Laboratory at the National Public Health Laboratories of the Ministry of Health. The patient is clinically stable, and is being managed at the Infectious Diseases Unit at the Kenyatta National Hospital. The lady is now stable and behaving quite normally," CS Kagwe confidently stated in his official address.
Explaining that COVID-19 had been declared a global pandemic, the government announced precautionary measures that included directives on hygiene and social distancing. Normal life was turned topsy-turvy as Kenya suspended all public gatherings, meetings, religious crusades, games events, etc. Normal church services could go on provided sanitizing and hand-washing facilities were provided to the congregation. Schools remained open but inter-school events were suspended. Public transport providers were to avail hand sanitizers to their passengers. Prison visits were temporarily suspended. Kenyans were to desist from abusing social media platforms or indulging in spreading misinformation that could cause fear and panic. Travel outside the country was restricted.
Fifteen days before the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the country, on 28 February, President Uhuru Kenyatta had issued Executive Order No. 2 of 2020 establishing the National Emergency Response Committee on Coronavirus (NERCC) to coordinate the country's response to the pandemic.
Kenyans were to desist from abusing social media platforms or indulging in spreading misinformation that could cause fear and panic. Travel outside the country was restricted.
A month later CS Kagwe gave a briefing on recoveries from COVID-19, saying, "In the last 24 hours, an additional eight COVID-19 patients have been discharged from hospital, bringing the total number of recoveries to 114," he said. "In this same period, however, we have confirmed 8 new cases of coronavirus in the country bringing to total 363. Four of these are from Mombasa and three from Nairobi, and one from Kwale," he said.
Kenya's new normal would now include daily COVID-19 briefings to update on the death toll, recoveries, positivity rates and precautionary measures.
Meanwhile, for a group of computer scientists at Qhala, a Nairobi-based tech company that had been developing a digital contact tracing tool to help the government to respond to the rising cases of cholera in the country, the coronavirus pandemic would come to be the defining moment.
With the arrival of COVID-19 in the country, Dr Shikoh Gitau (a University of Cape Town Computer Science graduate who was born and bred in Mathare Slums) and her team turned their research and development to the pandemic. Their research culminated in the opening of the Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (CEMA), a national data centre to support the control, elimination, and eradication of infectious diseases in Eastern and Central Africa.
Dr Gitau believes in the democratization of access to data and explains that, "If data is just in the hands of a few people, they can use it to tell us what they want or feel like. But if everyone is looking at the same data set, we will have more enriching interpretations of that particular set. The way a data scientist will look at the set is not the same way a journalist, economist or epidemiologist will look at the same set and this is why even in our own team we countercheck our biases by ensuring that many sets of eyes look at the same data."
The NERCC is using the tool developed by Dr Gitau and her team as the basis of the COVID-19 briefs Kenya receives on a daily basis.
The country also embarked on the hunt for a vaccine. "Kenya has joined the global efforts in search of an effective vaccine for COVID-19 with the start of a trial evaluating the ChAdOx1 nCoV-2019 Oxford coronavirus vaccine," Oxford University announced in an official statement. Specifically, the country had joined the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil in running trials to evaluate the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine.
The trials were run by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) at the Kilifi-based KEMRI-Welcome Trust Research Programme under which, following approvals from regulators, Kenyans volunteered for AstraZeneca vaccine trials.
"We're excited to see our colleagues in Kenya today joining those around the world in helping us to evaluate the ChAdOx1 nCov-2019 Oxford coronavirus vaccine, as it is important to evaluate the vaccine in as many different populations as possible," said Professor Andy Pollard, the Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group and Chief Investigator of the Oxford Vaccine Trial.
The trials involved 40 frontline workers in Kilifi County, with a further 360 volunteers recruited once the safety of the vaccine was confirmed. The volunteers were monitored over a period of 12 months after immunization to assess their health, the vaccine side effects and how their bodies were developing immunity in response to the vaccine.
However, once the vaccines came into production, Kenya was sidelined and reduced to a "beggar"; the country is now depending on donations from the same UK government with which it had partnered to run the trials.
To steer Kenya through the global vaccine supply and administration mess, President Kenyatta appointed his advisor on malaria, Dr Willis Akhwale, to lead the COVID-19 Vaccine Taskforce and make recommendations to the government. "As you know we actually sit every Wednesday; the CS and President Kenyatta have taken personal interest on this matter," Dr Akhwale explained in an interview.
The trials involved 40 frontline workers in Kilifi County, with a further 360 volunteers recruited once the safety of the vaccine was confirmed.
The taskforce developed the country's vaccine roadmap regarding vaccine hesitancy, county engagements, vaccine depots, cold chain storage and logistics, digital vaccine and immunisation records as well donor interests, among other issues surrounding Kenya's COVID-19 vaccine preparedness.
A COVID-19 vaccine deployment plan was released in December 2020. The deployment plan was put in place after Kenya ordered 13 million Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines through the African Union (AU). However, due to manufacturing constraints, only about one million doses have been delivered
Data from Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) shows that there is a huge interest in vaccines among Africans. "Vaccine hesitancy in Africa is not an issue. There's 75 per cent acceptance in Africa, apart from Burkina Faso, compared with the US where acceptance is 60 per cent," Africa CDC Director, Dr John Nkengasong has said.
In total, AU member states, of which Kenya is a part, have ordered 56.9 million Johnson & Johnson (J&J) doses over and above the 220 million doses they had planned for under the advance purchase agreement (APA) with J&J.
The total number of vaccines committed to AU member states by manufacturers is 205.4 million doses, worth about US$130 million. CS Kagwe has confirmed that Kenya will begin to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines by April 2022 to mitigate against supply hitches that are frustrating efforts to vaccinate the entire adult population.
"As of December 13th 2021, a total of 8,223,238 vaccines had so far been administered across the country out of the 23,279,820 doses Kenya has received. Of these, 4,947,002 were partially vaccinated while those fully vaccinated were 3,276,236. The uptake of the second dose among those who received their first dose was at 57.2%. Proportion of adults fully vaccinated was 12.0%. The Government is working towards vaccinating a targeted population of 27,246,033" the MoH announced.
Kenya has faced a myriad of challenges as it navigates the pandemic, including a major corruption scandal at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
In September 2020, investigators recommended the prosecution of at least 15 top government officials and business people over the alleged misuse of millions of dollars meant for the purchase of COVID-19 medical supplies but to date nothing has been done, with a number of the suspects employed by KEMSA still on half pay.
Earlier investigations found misuse of US$7.8 million meant for the purchase of emergency personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers and hospitals across the country. Health workers in many of the counties continue to complain about the shortage of PPE and poor or delayed pay.
With the emergence of the Omicron variant, there is a shortage of testing kits across the country. The mechanism for testing at points of entry and for those in quarantine is flawed. The cost of COVID-19 treatment and the lack of availability of medical oxygen and drugs is also a major issue, with insurance companies jumping ship on coronavirus.
The country still has other major gaps that need to be addressed. These include public access to COVID-19 information, especially concerning vaccines, as low vaccine uptake is a major problem.
Kenya has faced a myriad of challenges as it navigates the pandemic, including a major corruption scandal at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority.
According to Dr Richard Mihigo, the Immunization and Vaccines Development Programme Coordinator at WHO Africa Region, compared to other African countries like Morocco, Seychelles, Mauritius, Tunisia, Cape Verde and Botswana that have reached the global target of vaccinating 40 per cent of their population, Kenya has not attained its target of fully inoculating 10 million people by the end of December 2021 and has so far only managed to administer COVID-19 vaccines to 3.3 million people.
Medical facilities are overwhelmed and there is a lack of medical equipment and mismanagement in most public hospitals. Vaccine wastage by some of the people conducting the rollout is rife in the country. According to WHO, vaccine wastage is the sum of vaccines discarded, lost, damaged or destroyed. Since vaccines account for a significant portion of immunization programme costs, ensuring that wastage is minimized without jeopardizing vaccination coverage is key.
There is a lot of laxity in the delivery of health services to Kenyans who live in rural areas, especially in the country's northern region. The communities in this region have difficulties accessing health facilities and many are not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine because of the hundreds of kilometres they have to travel to be vaccinated.

Joel Whitburn - Joel Whitburn´s Top Pop Albums 1955-1996
Gebundene Ausgabe - 1060 Seiten- Record Research Inc. - 1996 - Englisch AUTHOR´S NOTE How do you condense several tons of record albums and CDs, plus 41 years of weekly Billboard charts and an extensive artist biography file into something that weighs less than five pounds? With 100,000 man hours and fine print! All of the separate elements of this book not only take up a tremendous amount of computer space, but also a good chunk of our record vault and offices. At the onset, the task of converting it into a single tome appeared daunting. But it´s well worth the effort once you hold the finished product in your hands. With an unknown amount of words and numbers, this fourth edition of our Top Pop Albums book chronicles every one of the 18,594 albums and 4,484 artists that have appeared on Billboard´s Pop albums charts since 1955. Without any essays or analyses, the Billboard chart data tells the story of 41 years of the album in America. The Billboard Pop albums chart is a direct tally of the public´s favorite albums week to week. It is based entirely on sales figures. Anything can make the chart, from death metal to Contemporary Christian. Radio airplay can be inconsequential to an album´s placement on the chart as long as enough fans buy it. This is precisely what makes Billboard´s Pop albums chart so fascinating. It hosts artists from every musical genre, from Beverly Sills to Black Uhuru. Study Billboard´s Pop albums charts and you´ll observe significant pop culture truisms not easily evident on the singles charts. Note the development of stereo with the early ´60s proliferation of percussive albums. Witness the fruitful output of artists like Joni Mitchell, Grateful Dead, Joan Armatrading, Led Zeppelin, John Prine and Roy Ayers whose longtime successes on the albums chart far eclipses their singles chartings. Find out each era´s popular comedians from Shelley Berman to Jeff Foxworthy. Mark the long history of jazz artists like Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis or Weather Report. Contrast the abundant annual turnout of albums by ´60s artists with many of today´s artists´ three-year spans between albums. Just as an artist endeavors to make an album a complete work, we strive to take each new edition of our Top Pop Albums book forward in its content and presentation. Our primary aim of accuracy requires endless fact checking. With our complete album collection as the backbone of our research, we again proofed each chart entry against the actual album. We mined our record vault for more interesting title notes and supplemented band bios with the names and instruments of each member, if known. We brought all of the album prices up to date; you will notice some drastic price increases since our last edition. Of the several new features, one of the most enlightening is the bolding of album artists in bios and title notes which serves as an immediate cross reference and is especially helpful when looking at British bands like Black Sabbath. So, whether you choose to scrutinize certain artists or scan the big picture, the information on the next 1,000+ pages yields countless insights into America´s taste in music over the years. Best of all, you don´t need 1,500 square feet to house this information. It fits on your coffee table. JOEL WHITBURN

Confederate General William "Extra Billy" Smith: From Virginia's Statehouse to Gettysburg Scapegoat

Confederate General William "Extra Billy" Smith: From Virginia's Statehouse to Gettysburg Scapegoat quantity
SKU: 1311 Category: Books
William "Extra Billy" Smith, the oldest and one of the most controversial Confederate generals on the field at Gettysburg, was also one of the most colorful and charismatic characters of the Civil War and the antebellum Old South. Despite a life full of drama, politics, and adventure, until now very few books have been written on Smith since a biased account in the 19th century by his brother-in-law. Scott L. Mingus Sr. has ably filled this historical void with Confederate General William "Extra Billy" Smith: From Virginia's Statehouse to Gettysburg Scapegoat.
Known nationally as "Extra Billy" because of his prewar penchant for finding loopholes in government postal contracts to gain extra money for his stagecoach lines, Smith served as Virginia's governor during both the War with Mexico and the Civil War, served five terms in the U.S. Congress, and was one of Virginia's leading spokesmen for slavery and States' Rights. Extra Billy's extra-long speeches and wry sense of humor were legendary among his peers. A lawyer during the heady Gold Rush days, Smith made a fortune in California and, like his income earned from stagecoaches, quickly lost it.
Despite his advanced age Smith took the field and fought well at First Manassas, was wounded at Seven Pines and again at Sharpsburg, and marched with Lee's Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania. There, on the first day at Gettysburg, Smith's frantic messages about a possible Union flanking attack remain a matter of controversy to this day. Did his aging eyes see distant fence-lines that he interpreted as approaching enemy soldiers--mere phantoms of his imagination?--or did his prompt action stave off a looming Confederate disaster? What we do know is that his calls for support diverted limited Confederate manpower away from attacks against Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill that might have turned the tide of Southern fortunes in Pennsylvania.

What should we know about sperm donation at Ginefiv?
Sperm donation is completely legal in Spain, regardless of the nationality or origin of the patient.
Anonymous: Under no circumstance shall Ginefiv reveal the donor's identity to the recipients, nor vice versa.
Altruist: Sperm donation is a generous act of solidarity, which cannot have a lucrative character, although it provides a compensation for the inconvenience.
At Ginefiv, all donors have to carry out regular exhaustive medical exams, and their samples have to pass quarantine periods to discard any possible transmissible pathology.
Given the high number of sperm donors at Ginefiv, our Clinic can easily find sperm donors with phenotypic similarities that are compatible with the recipients.
Sperm donors are young men, mostly of Spanish nationality (96%), who mainly come from a university environment and most importantly, have the predisposition to help others in one of the most generous acts that exist "help to give live".
All donors at Ginefiv must be between 18 and 35 years old (the average age is 22). They do not have personal or family history of serious hereditary diseases, and they have voluntarily undertaken strict medical and psychological checkups in order to guarantee an excellent sperm quality as well as their physical and mental health.
Will the sperm donor look like me?
Given the high number of sperm donors at Ginefiv, our clinic can easily find sperm donors with phenotypic similarities to the recipients.
How are the donors chosen at Ginefiv?

In a bid to help women inmates in Karnataka jails rehabilitate faster and maintain bonds with their children, the Director General of Police, Prisons, HNS Rao, has decided to let their guard down — both literally and metaphorically.
According to a report in Bangalore Mirror, Rao observed that the women inmates were unable to interact with their children during their weekly visits — especially because of the four-feet high walls or the three-feet-high metal mesh barrier — a standard in most prisons.
Women inmates with children craved to see their faces, touch them, talk to them and interact with them, said Rao.
To find a solution to this problem, Rao is now planning to redesign the interview area to make it more 'human-friendly'.
Rao, who was the ADGP, Home Guards and Civil Defence was recently promoted to this new position in a major overhaul of the Karnataka police department.
"The new facility, already up in Tumkur, will facilitate the women inmates to interact with their children freely without compromising the security aspect. The metal mesh barriers won't exist and the mothers can interact freely with their kids inside. A facility where one is not even able to see their children makes no sense," Rao told Mirror.
However, this facility won't apply to high-security prisons, he added.
As of now, women inmates who are still under trial are permitted visits twice a week, while convicted prisoners are permitted the same just once a week.
The prisons in the southern states of India have now been under constant scrutiny since the Academy of Prisons and Correctional Administration (APCA), Vellore, proposed to institute awards for 'best prisons' in January this year. One of the main criteria in the selection process would be as to how the prison staff handles the inmates.

Discussion in 'Mac Apps and Mac App Store' started by Clappysheep, Apr 30, 2010.
Hi, if you have done this before, can you advise what's the best way to export microsoft outlook contacts to mac please?
I tried to export the contacts in CSV format but when I imported the file into Mac address book, many fields are missing.
Someone suggests to email contacts out as vCards to myself and open the email from Mac and drag the contacts to the address book. I haven't tried yet but just wonder what's the best way??
I used the 90 day trial period of mobile me. Unfortunatly I fell in love with the cloud and kept it.
I, too, am having the same problem. I search for "how to" advice and find numerous websites which tell me how simple it is to transfer email addresses from a PC to a Mac. Then, it sets out the 12 to 15 steps which begin with something such as "First, set up your old PC as a server, and . . . " and that's when I get lost.
Pretty much attaching V Cards maps the fields properly to OSX. IF you export as CSV you need to also export from osx as csv and then match up the columns (by adding, removing, or moving columns from your csv file you want to import to OSX) By default CSV file formats are not automatically compatible, manual manipulation of the data is required to ensure the right data is in the columns OSX expect it to be in. If you have a few hundred this manipulation is probably worth it, for less than a hundred bite the bullet and email the vcards. (you can always create a quick n easy automator to import them to address book once you get the emails sent.
You should know that both workflows and formats have changed a bit in the 5-odd years that have elapsed since the posts you're replying to. FYI.

This morning I was reading Angie's blog at Bring the Rain. She wrote about God watching our life in pictures. Then when we get to Heaven, handing God the scrapbook of our life (with both the good & bad photos). We all have good & bad photos of ourselves in our life. I recently had two instances I know God will see and I am pleased to say I did the right thing in both instances.
I was shopping at Winco a few weeks back. I bought 2 pounds of walnuts & some cucumbers. My total was a whopping $2 & some odd cents when it should have been more like $17. I just paid my total and instantly stopped while I was walking out the door. I looked at my receipt and realized the cashier didn't charge me for the very expensive walnuts. I went back in line to pay for my walnuts. The person with me thought I was crazy. I just saved myself $15! Do I know what I could buy with $15, etc. I told this person that basically, as a Christian I have to be an example etc., Karma, etc. & what goes around comes around. To make a long story short, I did the right thing and paid my $15 for the walnuts.
Two nights ago, I was at Fred Meyer to buy some things for dinner and I found a dollar right next to the cashier. I picked it up and started to walk away. Then I turned right around and gave it to the cashier. I know that was the right thing to do. The person I was with again thought I was crazy and said I was just giving Freddy's the $ outright. I told this person that maybe it was an elderly person who really needed that dollar and maybe they will come back and asked if anyone turned in some money. This person didn't believe me - all for a measly dollar? Well, with the economy in the state it's in right now, let me tell you...every dollar counts! So, yes. If I drop a dollar, I am going to ask if someone turned it in.
Am I a cheapskate? Definitely. Am I honest? I try to be!
Yes, that person with you was ME. And yes, I DO think you're crazy! In my opinion, you DID save yourself money. Isnt that a good thing? It may not be honest, but still.
I admit, there may be times where you should be honest and turn the money in. For instance, what if you found $1,000,000? Even I would turn that in.
But you got $15 worth of free stuff, and it wasn't your fault. You were already out the door when you noticed. And when you found $1 on the floor, you turned it in. Those are not big things and I would have just left them alone. I would have taken my free stuff and took my dollar. Because in my opinion, that was the smarter thing to do now that prices are going up and stuff.
A similar situation happened to me. The kids and I were at Safeway and I realized on the way to the car that they hadn't charged me for something that was in the bottom of my cart. I had buckled the kids in and unloaded everything before I realized it. I had to get the kids out of the car and march everyone back in. Elise said, "Mom no one would have known." I told her, "Yeah, that's right, but I knew and you knew and most importantly, God knew and I didn't want him to think I was a thief. If nothing else, I set a good example for my kids.
Way to go. I'm all about Karma.
Thanks for the blueberry invite, I'm heading down to Camas days! Let me know if you go sometime this week. Thanks!
Erin joon you are RIGHT, and you did the Right thing, and Naseem joon I should remind you that in these kind of situations you can evaluate the character and morality of a person.
What is the difference between a thief and an honest person?

Athletes' village may be Games' biggest legacy
Sustainability built into every aspect of Whistler facility
By Bob Barnett
Inside the municipally-funded athletes' village there is also the Rona High Performance Centre, which includes a gymnasium and office space in one building, a 100-room lodge and several townhouses.
The high performance centre, which was largely funded by VANOC, will be owned by the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society following the Paralympics.
The Whistler Gymnastics Club and the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program will be based out of and heavily involved in the operation and utilization of the high performance centre following the Games.
The 100-room Legacy Lodge will house 200 athletes during the Olympics and is built from the same BRITCO-supplied modules as the temporary housing.
Following the Games the lodge will be used by athletes at all kinds of sporting events in Whistler and is expected to greatly reduce the number of rooms that hotels have to provide for events such as the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival, Crankworx and other events.
"It is designed to encourage athletes and teams to spend time in Whistler - all sports, all athletes," said Keith Bennett, the resident and CEO, Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies.
The Whistler Adaptive Sports Program is also expected to expand substantially as it gains new resources following the Paralympics. The growth will include more participants as well as new sports and will reach people with physical and cognitive disabilities.

It shouldn't surprise you to hear that lack of sleep can be detrimental to your health. Study after study shows sleep deprivation to be associated with greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic physical and mental health conditions.
Most sleep experts recommend seven to nine hours of shuteye each night. However, a recent study conducted by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that nearly 35 percent of respondents do not meet the minimum seven hours. The CDC report goes on to warn us about the immediate, day-to-day hazards of inadequate sleep, which include cognitive impairment and an increased likelihood of accidents.
If logging sufficient sleep each night can significantly improve physical and mental wellness, why aren't more people making it a top priority? Study author, Anne Wheaton, Ph.D., thinks it's because people put are more focused on changing other undesirable habits such as eating poorly or smoking. "Sleep just isn't at the top of their board," says Wheaton.
We know current health is the most important factor used by life insurance companies to determine your eligibility for term life insurance and the rate you will pay for a policy. So why not focus on sleep a little more to improve health and drive down the cost of term life insurance?
If counting sheep just isn't cutting it for you, try these tips for grabbing the Z's your body and mind deserve.
Set Your Alarm. Better Yet — Make that Two.
It's going to take discipline to get yourself on schedule. And you're going to need it at the front end and the back end. Try setting two alarms: one for going to bed at a particular time in the evening and one for getting out of bed in the morning. The morning alarm is a given, but most people don't think about the second alarm. It serves as a good reminder to wind things down and get ready for bed.
Daylight reeks havoc on the body's sleep cycle. Block out all natural and artificial light in your bedroom to help your body settle into its normal sleep pattern. Conversely, you can use light to help ease you out of sleep in the morning. This wake-up light with sunrise simulation from Philips will wake you up gradually with natural light. It also has calming wake-up sounds if you need an extra nudge on those cold winter mornings. Who doesn't like waking up to a golden sunrise after all?
All of them. Television, computer, smartphone and the like. Why? Because they all emit blue light and blue light does not play nicely with our sleep-inducing hormone melatonin. Long story short, blue light interferes with our body's circadian rhythms. Studies have found that people who use blue light emitting screens before bedtime experience worse sleep compared to those who do not.
Getting more sleep is an easy, realistic goal for most people. Like any other change worth making, it may be difficult at first. But once your new habits are ingrained you'll be healthier, you'll feel better, and you may just save a few bucks on your next term life insurance policy.
Tim is a licensed life insurance agent with 22 years of experience helping people protect their families and businesses with term life insurance. He writes and creates stuff for QuickQuote and other insurance and financial websites. You can find him on Twitter.

Q: Need Help With Simple MySQL SELECT I've got a table of crime data. In a simplified version, it would look like this:
Table Headings:
crime_id, neighborhood, offense

Table Data:
 - 1, Old Town,  robbery
 - 2, Bad Town,    theft
 - 3, Bad Town,    theft
 - 4, Uptown,    stolen auto

If I SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE offense ='theft', then the results for Bad Town are returned. But, I'm making a ranking, so what I'm really interested in is:
Old Town: 0
Bad Town: theft
Bad Town: theft
Uptown:   0

How do I write a SELECT statement that returns cases where there are thefts, but also returns neighborhoods that don't have an entry for the specified offense?
UPDATE: This my actual SELECT. I'm having problems applying the solution that p.campbell and Gratzy were so kind to post to this SELECT. How do I apply the CASE statement with the COUNT(*)?
SELECT
        cbn.neighborhoods AS neighborhoods,
        COUNT(*) AS offenses,
        TRUNCATE(((na.neighborhood_area_in_sq_meters /1000) * 0.000386102159),2) AS sq_miles,
        ( COUNT(*) / ((na.neighborhood_area_in_sq_meters /1000) * 0.000386102159) ) AS offenses_per_sq_mile
        FROM
            wp_crime_by_neighborhood cbn, wp_neighborhood_area  na
        WHERE
            cbn.offense='theft'
            AND
            cbn.neighborhoods = na.neighborhoods
        GROUP BY
            cbn.neighborhoods
        ORDER BY
            offenses_per_sq_mile DESC

A: Try this:
SELECT  cbn.neighborhoods AS neighborhoods,
    CASE WHEN IFNULL(COUNT(*),0) > 0 THEN CONCAT(COUNT(*), ' ', offense)
         ELSE  '0'
    END AS offenses
    --- ... and the rest of your query

    FROM        wp_crime_by_neighborhood cbn
    INNER JOIN  wp_neighborhood_area  na
        ON      cbn.neighborhoods = na.neighborhoods
    WHERE       cbn.offense='theft'
    GROUP BY    cbn.neighborhoods
    --ORDER BY  offenses_per_sq_mile DESC

A: I would think using a case statement should do it.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/case-statement.html
something like
Select neighborhood,
case offense when 'theft' then offense  else '0' end case
from table

A: If you're looking to make a ranking, wouldn't it be better to get the number of thefts in Bad Town rather than a row for each? Something like this:
select distinct mt.neighborhood, ifnull(total, 0)
from mytable mt
left join (
  select neighborhood, count(*) as total
  from mytable
  where offense = 'theft'
  group by neighborhood
) as t on t.neighborhood = mt.neighborhood

Based on the data you gave, this query should return:
Old Town: 0
Bad Town: 2
Uptown: 0

That seems more useful to me for making a ranking. You can easily throw an order by on there.

RCMP officer charged with assault, theft and mischief from Kimmirut incident
by Derek Neary May 7, 2021
An RCMP officer is facing three charges following an alleged incident in Kimmirut last summer.
An RCMP officer working in Kimmirut during summer 2020 is now facing three charges.
Const. Ira Tarleton is accused of assault causing bodily harm, theft under $5,000 and mischief under $5,000, according to a news release issued by the RCMP on Friday.
Tarleton, who is normally stationed in Ottawa, was working in a relief capacity for the Mounties in Kimmirut last summer.
The police say the alleged offences occurred when Tarleton responded to a call for service in the community.
"The conduct of police officers is paramount in maintaining the trust of the communities they serve," Nunavut RCMP commanding officer Chief Supt. Amanda Jones stated. "The criminal charges laid are very serious. These allegations do not reflect the integrity of our individual members nor do they represent what we stand for as a police service."
The Mounties stated that no further information will be disclosed at this time.
Tagged: #charges laid, #Kimmirut, #Nunavut News, #RCMP
pissed says:
i hope that that the hiring protocol is strict as any. back ground checks are done. i had a couple of incidents where 2 cops came in and had total disrespect for me delivering a peace bond to a family member residing in my house. i kept telling them that the individual no longer stayed with me. they kept harassing me, and told me we will keep coming back.
so much for the trusting the upstanding law RCMP.


"Which of the cities you visited was your favourite?" Lionel asked as he stuffed his hand into his pockets, keeping in step with Ava who walked next to him, fiddling with the buttons on the front of her jacket. They'd been together for a while, with neither one of them having had plans for the rest of the afternoon, their lunch had been long and leisurely, and with Ava having chosen a restaurant that wasn't too far a walk from her apartment, Lionel had offered to walk her home, not quite willing to let their time together end so soon.
It had felt better, after he had insisted that he wanted to hear about what she had been up to in the six months that she had been gone, Ava's tentativeness had faded a little, making room for a few more genuine smiles and laughs, and Lionel wasn't quite ready to let it go. For the first time since she had gotten home, Ava didn't seem to be walking on eggshells around him and he wanted to make the most of it whilst he could, not quite knowing if things would slip when he said goodbye to her.
Ava, who'd been watching her feet as she walked, glanced over at him before she quirked a small smile. "I visited a lot of nice places" she commented.
"I don't doubt it" Lionel replied "But you must have had a favourite. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere unexpected, somewhere you'd not been to before, somewhere that surprised you" he added, his voice warm and playful.
Ava shook her head. "There was a lot of places like that" she mused "But, if you're going to put me on the spot and ask me for a favourite, I'd have to say Naples. My mama was born there and she used to talk about it all the time, but we never got the chance to go when we were younger, so having the opportunity to go was pretty special, especially since my mama flew out and showed me around" she gushed.
Lionel just watched her with a soft smile, marveling at how her face had lit up.
Ava noticed his silence before she cast him a sideward glance, feeling her cheeks warm when she caught him looking at her. "Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked, refocusing her stare on her feet as they kept walking.
"You smile when you talk about it" Lionel replied nonchalantly "And, honestly? I kind of adore your smile" he added, breathing out a slightly sheepish laugh.
Ava spluttered at the compliment, feeling her already pink cheeks flush a deep shade.
Lionel laughed quietly to himself, amused that he had left her speechless, before he cleared his throat, taking a few steps before he spoke again. "Are you glad to be home?" he asked "I mean, I'm sure the last six months were great, but there must things about being in Barcelona that you've missed, no?" he prodded.
Ava let out a quiet sigh of relief at the subject change before she nodded, moving to tuck her hands into the pockets of her jacket. "I missed a lot of things" she mused "Hotel rooms are nice, but they're not quite curling up on my own couch. I missed a lot of my things, but mostly I just missed being around my friends and family. Don't get me wrong, everyone who was there with me was lovely, but it wasn't quite the same as heading over to my mama and papa's place for dinner or getting together with my brother and his girlfriend" she explained.
Lionel nodded his head, just about refraining from quipping something about her having missed him too.
Ava caught his silence, but didn't question it, instead opting to keep walking quietly for a few seconds before her apartment building started to come into view.
Lionel looked up, catching sight of the building, before he shook his head, something which made Ava smile a little. "You look a little disappointed" she quipped softly.
Lionel shrugged. "I thought we were further away" he commented "I'm enjoying myself and I thought..." he trailed off, smiling bashfully to himself.
Ava felt her stomach flip a little at the sight of his shy smile before she shook her head. "It's not like we won't see each other again" she mused "I mean, I know we both have busy schedules, but I am pretty sure that we can put together some time, no?" she pressed.
She knew why he was disappointed, with that afternoon having felt like the two of them had made some semblance of progress, she understood his wariness at it ending, knowing that he, like she did, worried that the next time that they saw one another, they'd fall back to square one and feel awkward around one another again. They were still trying to get to know one another again, and it meant that there was a chance that the awkwardness, which had receded for one afternoon, could come back again as they tried, perhaps a little too hard, to make another attempt at something between them.
Lionel nodded his head, still grinning shyly. "I'm sure we can" he agreed.
Ava flashed him a smile in return before they came to a halt outside of her apartment building, something which caused them both to look at each other, waiting for the other to make any kind of move. Keeping his hands in his pockets, Lionel kept his stare on Ava's face, his dark eyes searching her blues for a few long seconds before he took a half pace forwards, testing the waters slightly.
Ava, surprisingly, didn't take a reflexive step back, something which encouraged Lionel to step forwards until he stood ahead of her, his arms gently wrapping around her. Ava only held out for a fraction of a second before she wrapped her arms around him in return, melting into the tight hug for a few seconds before she tugged back, her blue eyes mirroring his briefly before she quickly looked away. "I had a good time" she murmured quietly.
Lionel grinned. "Not so bad for a substitute lunch date, eh?" he joked.
Ava laughed shyly, shaking her head.
Lionel took a second to marvel at her smile before he leant in close, brushing a soft kiss against her cheek. "I'm glad you asked me to come" he mumbled against her skin.
Ava closed her eyes, relishing the soft touch of his lips against her skin, before she stepped back, offering him a quick wave before she made her way inside, leaving Lionel smiling behind her, reassured that there was still very much something between them.


High-tech prosthetics, computers that are controlled by thought, the ability to walk or even move again, these are just a few of the promises of technology. Unfortunately, while the tech is — mostly — up to the challenge, getting the biology side of things to cooperate has been difficult at best, but that could change. Now, scientists have created a material that could make reading biological signals, from heartbeats to brainwaves, much more sensitive.
Now researchers have created a material that measures signals in a different way to traditional OECTs that they believe could be used in complementary circuits, paving the way for new biological sensor technologies.
Semiconducting materials can conduct electronic signals, carried by either electrons or their positively charged counterparts, called holes. Holes in this sense are the absence of electrons – the spaces within atoms that can be filled by them.
Electrons can be passed between atoms but so can holes. Materials that use primarily hole-driven transport are called 'p-type' materials, and those that use primarily electron-driven transport are called, and 'n-type' materials.
An 'ambipolar' material is the combination of both types, allowing the transport of holes and electrons within the same material, leading to potentially more sensitive devices. However, it has not previously been possible to create ambipolar materials that work in the body.
However, the team has demonstrated the first ambipolar OECT that can conduct electrons as well as holes with high stability in water-based solutions. The team overcame the seemingly inherent instability of n-type materials in water by designing new structures that prevent electrons from engaging in side-reactions, which would otherwise degrade the device.
"Proving that an n-type organic electrochemical transistor can operate in water paves the way for new sensor electronics with improved sensitivity," Lead author Alexander Giovannitti said.

A columnist is a person who writes for publication in a series, creating an article that usually offers commentary and opinions. Columns appear in newspapers, magazines and other publications, including blogs. They take the form of a short essay by a specific writer who offers a personal point of view. In some instances, a column has been written by a composite or a team, appearing under a pseudonym, or (in effect) a brand name. Some columnists appear on a daily or weekly basis and later reprint the same material in book collections.

Radio and television
Newspaper columnists of the 1930s and 1940s, such as Franklin Pierce Adams (also known as FPA), Nick Kenny, John Crosby, Jimmie Fidler, Louella Parsons, Drew Pearson, Ed Sullivan and Walter Winchell, achieved a celebrity status and used their syndicated columns as a springboard to move into radio and television. In some cases, such as Winchell and Parsons, their radio programs were quite similar in format to their newspaper columns. Rona Barrett began as a Hollywood gossip columnist in 1957, duplicating her print tactics on television by the mid-1960s. One of the more famous syndicated columnists of the 1920s and 1930s, O. O. McIntyre, declined offers to do a radio series because he felt it would interfere and diminish the quality of writing in his column, "New York Day by Day".

Books
Franklin Pierce Adams and O. O. McIntyre both collected their columns into a series of books, as did other columnists. McIntyre's book, The Big Town: New York Day by Day (1935) was a bestseller. Adams' The Melancholy Lute (1936) is a collection of selections from three decades of his columns. H. Allen Smith's first humor book, Low Man on a Totem Pole (1941), and his two following books, were so popular during World War II that they kept Smith on the New York Herald Tribune'''s Best Seller List for 100 weeks and prompted a collection of all three in 3 Smiths in the Wind (1946). When Smith's column, The Totem Pole, was syndicated by United Features, he told Time:

Just between you and me, it's tough. A typewriter can be a pretty formidable contraption when you sit down in front of it and say: "All right, now I'm going to be funny."

The writing of French humor columnist Alain Rémond has been collected in books. The Miami Herald promoted humor columnist Dave Barry with this description: "Dave Barry has been at The Miami Herald since 1983. A Pulitzer Prize winner for commentary, he writes about issues ranging from the international economy to exploding toilets." Barry has collected his columns into a series of successful books. He stopped writing his nationally syndicated weekly column in 2005, and the Miami Herald now offers on its website a lengthy selection of past columns by Barry.

In 1950, Editor & Publisher looked back at the newspaper columnists of the 1920s:

"Feature service of various sorts is new," Hallam Walker Davis wrote in a book, The Column, which was published in 1926. "It has had the advantage of high-powered promotion. It is still riding on the crest of the first big wave its own splash sent out." But Mr. Davis did think that in a decade or two the newspapers might be promoting their columns along with their comic strips. The World had started the ball rolling with billboard advertising of Heywood Broun's "It Seems to Me." The McNaught Syndicate was sitting pretty with O. O. McIntyre, Will Rogers and Irvin S. Cobb on its list. The New York Herald Tribune offered Don Marquis and Franklin P. Adams rhymed satirically in "The Conning Tower" for the New York World Syndicate. "A Line o' Type or Two", Bert Leston Taylor's verse column in the Chicago Tribune, was now being done by Richard Henry Little. Other offerings: humorous sketches by Damon Runyon; O. Henry stories; editorials by Arthur Brisbane; Ring Lardner letter; "Rippling Rhymes", by Walt Mason; literary articles by H. L. Mencken.

Newspaper and magazine

In certain instances, a column can prove so popular it becomes the basis for an expansion into an entire magazine. For instance, when Cyrus Curtis founded the Tribune and Farmer in 1879, it was a four-page weekly with an annual subscription rate of 50 cents. He introduced a women's column by his wife, Louise Knapp Curtis, and it proved so popular that in 1883, he decided to publish it as a separate monthly supplement, Ladies Journal and Practical Housekeeper, edited by Louise Curtis. With 25,000 subscribers by the end of its first year, it was such a success that Curtis sold Tribune and Farmer to put his energy into the new publication, which became the Ladies' Home Journal''.

Pop culturally, the profession of 'columnist' has been seen as a glamorous one and often featured as the career of choice for characters such as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, Rory Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, Andie Anderson in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and dozens of others.

Q: check if id exist in other table i want to check if product_id exist in cart table and if exist define variable $class = 'show'
this is code i have:
$article = $db->query("
    SELECT
        b.price as price,
        b.shop_id as shop_id,
        c.image as image,
        c.name as name,
        a.id as id
    FROM products AS a
    INNER JOIN prices AS b ON a.ean = b.sku
    INNER JOIN shops as c on b.shop_id = c.id
    WHERE a.id = '$product_id'
");
while ($data = $article->fetch_object()) {
    $price = $data->price;
    $price2 = $data->price;
    $price = number_format($price, 2, ',', '');
    $shop_id = $data->shop_id;
    $logo = $data->image;
    $name = $data->name;

//some html code here

}

now i dont know how to check if that product exist in cart table. in both tables uniqe is product_id

A: I'd use a LEFT JOIN for that purpose (notice the CASE WHEN .. THEN .. section). It joins with cart table and selects a column called exists_in_cart with a value of 1 if product exists in cart or 0 otherwise):
$article = $db->query("
    SELECT
        b.price as price,
        b.shop_id as shop_id,
        c.image as image,
        c.name as name,
        a.id as id,
        CASE WHEN cart.product_id IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END as exists_in_cart
    FROM products AS a
    INNER JOIN prices AS b ON a.ean = b.sku
    INNER JOIN shops as c on b.shop_id = c.id
    LEFT JOIN cart on a.id = cart.product_id
    WHERE a.id = '$product_id'
");

You'll then have a 1 if a product exists in a cart or 0 otherwise:
$productInCart = $data->exists_in_cart == 1 ? TRUE : FALSE;
if ($productInCart) {
   $class = 'show';
}
else {
   // ...
}

A: Check any rows were returned, and if there are, set your variable.
if($article->num_rows) {
   $class = "show";
}

Or, check that a property is not null.
if( is_null($data->name) == FALSE ) {
   $class = "show";
}

A: SELECT
    b.price as price,
    b.shop_id as shop_id,
    c.image as image,
    c.name as name,
    a.id as id,
    CASE WHEN cart.product_id IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END as exists_in_cart
FROM products AS a
INNER JOIN prices AS b ON a.ean = b.sku
INNER JOIN shops as c on b.shop_id = c.id
LEFT JOIN cart on a.id = cart.product_id
WHERE a.id = '$product_id'

if product doesn't exists in table this query will return num_rows = 0, you have already choosed only existing products.

International recruiting is a long, involved process for both schools and players
It's a lot more difficult for international players to get to a place like Syracuse than you may think.

The Syracuse Orange football and basketball teams both look for plenty of talent outside of the United States, as does the women's team and other sports, too. While a lot of those players can come in from English-speaking Canada (so all of it but Quebec), plenty of others come from elsewhere, too.
Over on Syracuse.com, Donna Ditota provided an extended look at the difficult process for international recruits like incoming 2019 forward Quincy Guerrier to get themselves eligible and on-campus. As she points out, it's also easier for players from Canada and Europe than it is for those from Africa. She spoke to former Orange players like Baye Keita and Paschal Chukwu, as well as various experts on the matter. Current center Bourama Sidibe and inbound recruit John Bol Ajak have also had to deal with similar hoops to jump through.
It's a pretty interesting read, so would definitely check it out. You can see more on that, plus the rest of your Syracuse-related links below:
Path for international basketball players at Syracuse requires patience, hope (Syracuse.com)
If I leave, I can't come back. Even if I have an idea of leaving and going to visit any other country, I would need to go back to one of the embassies in Nigeria and get the visa," Chukwu said. "The downside of that is there's always a chance they're going to deny you, no matter what."
Don't worry, Syracuse football's offensive line won't look the same this fall (Syracuse.com)
"We're all just working hard, trying to improve each other, make each other better with the younger guys on the line," SU redshirt senior guard Evan Adams said. "So us older guys are taking good care of them, trying to make sure that they're alright. That's about all we can do, just get better and better every day."
Syracuse's Trishton Jackson: It was the right decision to focus on football, not basketball (Syracuse.com)
But Jackson has kept a close eye on college basketball. He grew up dreaming of playing in the Final Four as a Spartan, and watching his friend, point guard Cassius Winston, do so this past weekend brought Jackson joy. The two met in middle school and shared an AAU team at one point with former MSU star Miles Bridges.
Like old school Syracuse schwag? SU alum opens store devoted to vintage gear (Syracuse.com)
Scouring the world for vintage items can be a time consuming task. Aufsesser started a website called ilovesyracusevintage.com years ago as a way to establish his identity as a vintage collector with people he met on his trips to Syracuse, looking for merchandise. "Most people know me as the vintage guy and the old school Syracuse guy," Aufsesser said.

At Syracuse, Mullen met Rogers, the offensive coordinator he worked under and still cites as a mentor.

Current Boston College head coach Steve Addazio was one. Mullen was the other.

Tomorrow will be Day 14 of the ongoing saga of our pending wire transfer from Bank of America to ABSA bank for the purchase of a car. We initiated the wire on July 16, confirmed it on the 18th and it still has not appeared in the appropriate account.
Bank of America apparently uses an intermediary bank in South Africa for wires. That bank, it seems, does acknowledge receipt of the funds, but they have now "raised an enquiry" to determine what's become of the money.
Meanwhile, we still do not have a car.
So much for the global economy.


I am both honoured and humbled to start this two-year mandate as your new AJC president.
I'm excited to take this two-year hiatus from PPSC in Halifax to be your president on a full-time basis. The AJC has done much to improve and stabilize the working conditions of federal lawyers in Canada.
There will be obstacles to overcome in these new and challenging times for unions in the public service. We will do all we can to continue our good work for our members, which also benefits the Canadian public in general. In our busy work lives, we tend to forget this: we do important and essential work for all Canadians!
With your help, with your engagement I hope to keep the momentum going in this a very important negotiating year. Seventeen of the 27 collective agreements that Treasury Board negotiates expire in 2014. The AJC had a first meeting with TB in February. We have scheduled meetings with TB at the end of May, in late July and in early October. Although negotiations are a delicate matter, we will try to communicate what we can to keep you up to date.
Meanwhile, over on Parliament Hill, we have seen the introduction of many controversial pieces of legislation over the past few months. The AJC and other public service unions have been front and centre holding this government accountable. You will recall that last November, Lisa appeared before the House of Commons Finance Committee studying Bill C-4. This bill seriously undermines the bargaining rights of federal employees. The AJC also raised concerns over Bill C-520, the so-called partisanship bill which is now being studied by a Senate committee.
And so with negotiations ongoing and the many bills that have or might have an impact on AJC members, we are up to the challenge. The AJC is a financially sound organization with a clear direction.
I especially want to thank my predecessors, Lisa Blais, who led the AJC for the past two years and who will remain on the negotiation team, and Marco Mendicino, AJC president from 2009 to 2012. We wouldn't have come this far without their leadership. They helped put the AJC 'on the map'. Our profile is stronger. Our voice is louder. Thanks also to Patrick Jetté, the AJC's first president, and to all our federal lawyer colleagues who laid the foundations of the AJC.
Finally, I'm honoured to be given the opportunity to lead the AJC. The challenges are demanding but we have the momentum and we can face them if we stand together.
Together, we are the AJC.

Q: Cannot set property 'avatar' of undefined at Member.set [as avatar] - Discord Bot I haven't used my Discord recently but the last time I ran it, it still worked perfectly. However, I keep getting this error Cannot set property 'avatar' of undefined at Member.set [as avatar] these days.

Can someone help me?

A: I was struggling with this issue and eventually figured it out. It's because the 'this' keyword is getting hijacked somehow in the code within the Object.defineProperty call inside the Member constructor(line 2606 in my version of index.js, but I've made a few other fixes already so yours is probably different). I was able to fix it by caching off the 'this' reference into a private member and referencing that instead. It feels hacky but it works. Like so:
function Member(client, server, data) {
    copyKeys(data, this, ['user', 'joined_at',]);
    this.id = data.user.id;
    this.joined_at = Date.parse(data.joined_at);
    this.color = colorFromRole(server, this);
    var tempThis = this;
    ['username', 'discriminator', 'bot', 'avatar', 'game'].forEach(function(k) {
        if (k in Member.prototype) return;
        Object.defineProperty(Member.prototype, k, {
            get: function() { return client.users[tempThis.id][k]; },
            set: function(v) { client.users[tempThis.id][k] = v; },
            enumerable: true,
        });
    });
}

A: I just experienced the same error with my own bot completely out of the blue. After some investigation, I checked the code at DiscordClient.handleWSMessage (on my error it was showing at index.js:1871:31 as opposed to index.js:1891:31, however I'm not sure if it's a matter of having different versions of discord.io installed) - in any case, the error seemed to be stemming from the Event switch statement responding to a GUILD_CREATE event - this may be different for you:
case "GUILD_CREATE":
            /*The lib will attempt to create the server using the response from the
            REST API, if the user using the lib creates the server. There are missing keys, however.
            So we still need this GUILD_CREATE event to fill in the blanks.
            If It's not our created server, then there will be no server with that ID in the cache,
            So go ahead and create one.*/
            client.servers[_data.id] = new Server(client, _data);
            return emit(client, message, client.servers[_data.id]);

I don't understand why GUILD_CREATE events are being received, my bot has never been programmed to handle these, however commenting out the executable lines in the switch case above and replacing them with an empty return statement seemed to stop the error occurring, and my bot stayed connected (so far, I've only been testing for a few minutes).

A: Might not work for everyone, but on my computer this issue was resolved by saving and only running after I saved. Slightly annoying but it worked!
