Q: Upload de Imagens com PHP - Mysql Estou precisando fazer o upload de uma imagem no MySQL, ou seja, o caminho da imagem, tem algum método prático de fazer?

A: No site oficial do PHP tem este exemplo, que eu alterei um pouco pra colocar :
<?php
// Nas versões do PHP anteriores a 4.1.0, deve ser usado $HTTP_POST_FILES
// ao invés de $_FILES.

$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
print "
";
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
    // Chame aqui um insert no banco de dados.
    // Deve ser salvo na coluna do banco a seguinte informação: $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'])
    print "O arquivo é valido e foi carregado com sucesso. Aqui esta alguma informação:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
} else {
    print "Possivel ataque de upload! Aqui esta alguma informação:\n";
    print_r($_FILES);
}
print "
";
?>

Neste exemplo, a única coisa que você vai enviar pro banco de dados é o caminho da imagem.

A: Gosto de utilizar uma class em php para efetuar upload e ao mesmo tempo redimensionar a imagem. Veja se este exemplo serve para você.
Especificações:

*

*Gera miniaturas (neste exemplo uma com largura proporcional de 640px)

*Renomeia o arquivo para outro nome utilizando md5

*Cadastra no banco de dados (com PDO, em caso de não utilizar PDO coloque mysql_query ou mysqli_query, o que vir ao caso).

*Pode ser personalizado

index.php
<?php
include_once ("Redimensiona.php");

if (isset($_POST['acao']) && $_POST['acao']=="cadastrar"){

    $foto = $_FILES['foto'];
    $redim = new Redimensiona();
    $src=$redim->Redimensionar($foto, 640, "images");

        $cadastra = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO tabela (campo) VALUES ($src) ");
        $cadastra->execute();

}

?>

<title>Teste</title>

<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">

    <input type="submit" value="Enviar" />
    <input type="hidden" name="acao" value="cadastrar" />

Exclusive: Senior U.S. General Orders Top-to-Bottom Review of Military's Islam Training
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/38089/exclusive-senior-us-general-orders-top-to-bottom
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday ordered the entire U.S. military to scour its training material to ensure it doesn't contain anti-Islamic content, Danger Room has learned. The order came after the Pentagon suspended a course for senior officers that was found to contain derogatory material about Islam.
The extraordinary order by General Martin Dempsey, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. armed forces, was prompted by content in a course titled "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism" that was presented as an elective at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia. The course instructed captains, commanders, lieutenant colonels and colonels from across all four armed services that "Islam had already declared war on the West," said Lt. Gen. George Flynn, Dempsey's deputy for training and education.
"It was inflammatory," Flynn told Danger Room on Tuesday. "We said, 'Wait a second, that's really not what we're talking about.' That is not how we view this problem or the challenges we have in the world today."

If you bought a home recently, it may already have increased in value. Equity growth goes hand-in-hand with pride of ownership (and fun stuff like tax breaks) when it comes to homebuyer goals, so say a big, "Yay!"
"Nearly 91,000 homeowners regained equity in the first quarter of 2017, according to real estate data firm CoreLogic's latest housing report, said Realtor.com. "Since the end of the most recent housing crisis, 9 million owners in total have regained equity, the report notes. About 63 percent of all homeowners have seen their equity increase since the first quarter of 2016, with the average owner gaining about $13,400 between then and the first quarter of 2017." According to Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic, that's the "largest increase since mid-2014."
But, before you go making plans for all that equity, either by doing a cash-out refinance (if possible and prudent) or getting a home equity loan, take a pause. That money may be best left right where it is. If you still want to tap that equity, here are some of best - and worst - ways to use it.
When your home has equity, it can be tempting to use it for home renovations, which, presumably, will further raise your home value - or at least make your home prettier or more functional. Knowing which renovations pay you back is key to making smart choices. Review Remodeling magazine's Cost vs. Value Report, which "compares average cost for 29 popular remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale in 99 U.S. markets." You can then take your research further, viewing data for your regional area. This will help you decide if that $50,000 kitchen is a good investment, or if that attic renovation you were considering will be a bust from an ROI standpoint.
That fancy new car is calling your name, right? Does it make sense to use some of your home equity to finance or buy it outright? Ask yourself this: Is this a car you can't afford without using your home equity? Can you afford to pay the difference in your current monthly payment and what will be your new payment - plus the monthly cost of the car?
"During the housing bubble, consumers used home equity borrowing to pay for everything from boats and gambling junkets (clearly bad) to cars and kitchen renovations (not so bad), said Interest.com. "The problems these homeowners experienced during the financial crisis and recession taught us that even some 'not so bad' spending should be scratched from our list of acceptable uses. So, while we used to say that financing a car with a HELOC was OK, we no longer believe that. Besides, auto loans are now one of the few types of consumer loans that are cheaper than home equity loans or lines of credit."
Adding on to a home can be a great way to make it more livable, especially if the space is inadequate for your family. The Cost vs. Value Report can be useful here, too. You might be surprised to learn that a midrange bathroom addition typically only pays back an average of 53.9%. But, if you bought an older home that only has one bathroom, adding another could have a much higher ROI that makes the addition worth it.
When it comes to larger undertakings, "Studies show that nearly all of the cost of a mid-range two-story addition may be recovered at the time of sale," said The Spruce. "The key here is 'may be recovered,' as there is no predicting the real estate market years in advance. While this might seem like a 'no-brainer,' it needs to be mentioned. More space means higher heating and cooling costs, more windows to wash and gutters to clean, increased property taxes, and more house to clean. Even though additions offer the potential for higher cost-value ratios than other renovation projects, you still may not recover the full cost of the addition when you actually sell."
That European cruise or trip to Machu Picchu sounds like a great idea, especially because you've got some cash to pay for it with the rising equity in your home. But consider this: You may be paying back the money you spend on that vacation long after you return home.
"The first mistake is using your home equity line of credit to live above your means," said Fidelity. "That can be paying for a vacation, using it to support going out to eat, buying luxury goods, or more generally, spending what you don't have. This risk is very similar to the risk of running up too much credit card debt, except that making this mistake with your home equity line of credit affects more than just your credit rating: It puts your home at risk."
Leveraging one property for another is a tricky proposition. Whether you're thinking about flipping a house for the first time or already have some experience under your belt, you'll want to weigh the pros and cons - and costs - involved in buying and owning two properties.
"Unlocking some of your home's value to pay for a second home has its advantages - but it has some big drawbacks too," Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com, told CNN Money. "Lenders tend to give more favorable terms to those who tap their home's equity to pay for a second home because they have more skin in the game. Buyers who take out a separate mortgage on a second home are more likely to stop making payments if they run into financial trouble and default. To offset the increased risk, banks charge higher rates and require larger down payments of these borrowers. The costs of borrowing, especially on home equity loans, can be lower as well, since these loans don't involve paying for title searches or insurance and other transactional costs of new mortgages."
Now for the negatives: "By tapping your home's equity you'll be increasing your monthly mortgage payments and increasing the risk of losing your primary home to foreclosure. Also, by buying another home you're tying up a lot of your money into one type of asset. You're putting a lot of eggs in the real estate basket."
With the cost of college continuing to rise and mortgage rates reaming near historic lows, homeowners are increasingly looking to their home equity to offset some of the costs of education. Here's why it may be a good idea: "With a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit, the two biggest positives are that home equity loans may be cheaper than other loans, plus the interest paid on a home equity loan is tax deductible," said HSH.com. The most important downside: You're using your home as collateral. And then there's this: "These loans don't typically offer flexibility during periods of financial hardship," they said. "But those who borrow with federal student loans can readily obtain loan deferments, forbearance, and sometimes even loan forgiveness."

Federal Court Reverses SSA Disability Decision
by Matthew Lane | Jun 17, 2015 | Uncategorized
Because of a recent successful Federal Court appeal by Louisiana Social Security disability attorney Matthew D. Lane, Jr., an Administrate Law Judge's (ALJ) unfavorable decision was reversed and remanded.
In 2011, client applied for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income based on prior cervical spine trauma, osteophytes of the cervical spine, chronic headaches, and bilateral hand numbness and weakness. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) denied his claim in 2012, and the Appeals Council did not grant review.
In 2013, attorney Matthew Lane filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana on client's behalf seeking judicial review of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) decision under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
In 2015, the Court issued a Judgment reversing the ALJ's decision. The Court found that the ALJ did not properly evaluate the claimant's treating source medical opinion under Myers v. Apfel, 238 F.3d 617 (5th Cir. 2001) because it did not analyze the six factors for evaluation of medical opinions in 20 C.F.R. § 404.1527 (length of treatment, frequency of examination, nature and extent of relationship, support provided by other evidence, consistency of opinion with record, and specialization).
The Court further found that the ALJ did not comply with regulations requiring evaluation of the side effect of claimant's medications, which included Methadone, Darvocet, Lortab, Neurontin, and Flexeril, on the ability to function despite an opinion from claimant's treating doctor that he experienced drowsiness, dizziness, and delayed reaction time.
As a result of the successful Federal Court appeal, the client will have another opportunity to prove he was disabled prior to his date last insured (DLI) in 2011. And if successful, the client will be eligible to receive disability insurance benefits and Medicare rather than being restricted to receipt of supplemental security income and Medicaid.

Tenacity in the Social Security Disability Appeal Process
by Matthew Lane | Mar 2, 2015 | Uncategorized
Recent favorable outcomes demonstrate that Matthew D. Lane, Jr., has the experience and tenacity to prevail during the long and complex Social Security disability appeal process.
Matthew D. Lane, Jr. recently obtained long-overdue disability benefits for a client out of work since 2007 with multiple impairments, including bipolar disorder, who filed a disability insurance claim in 2008. We obtained a medical source statement (MSS) from client's treating psychiatrist indicating his impairments precluded sustained employment, but an administrative law judge (ALJ) nonetheless denied the claim in 2011. We appealed, and in 2013, a United States District Court reversed the ALJ's decision. In 2014, a second ALJ found our client disabled based on the opinions of the client's treating psychiatrist.
In 2015, over seven years after leaving work and due to our diligent representation, the client received past-due Social Security disability insurance benefits (DIB) totaling over one-hundred thousand dollars.
Similarly, in late 2014, Matthew D. Lane, Jr. obtained a fully favorable ALJ decision for a client with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI), lumbar disc problems, central canal stenosis, and lumbar radiculopathy. The client left work in 2010, and an ALJ issued an unfavorable ALJ decision in 2011. We appealed, and in early 2014, a U.S. District Court reversed the ALJ's decision. The favorable outcome was again due in part to a MSS obtained by Matthew D. Lane, Jr.
In late 2014, Matthew D. Lane, Jr. helped a client with inflammatory arthritis in multiple joints obtain a fully favorable ALJ decision following a successful appeal to the Appeals Council. The client left work as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) due to arthritis and filed a claim for benefits in 2011; an ALJ denied her claim in 2013, and we appealed. Key evidence in the case included a MSS we obtained from client's treating rheumatologist.
When Matthew D. Lane, Jr. has a legitimate basis to believe an individual's due process rights were violated and that SSA wrongfully denied a disability claim, we appeal for as long as it takes to obtain the benefits to which the individual is legally entitled. We have the required skills and experience to represent individuals at all levels of the administrative appeals process (ALJ hearings & Appeals Council) and in U.S. District Court.
The Federal government and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have nearly unlimited money, time, and resources to expend when denying your Social Security disability claim and oppose your appeal. When hiring a lawyer to handle your disability appeal, consider whether the lawyer has the ability to represent you at all levels of appeal, including in U.S. District Court. Also evaluate whether the lawyer has demonstrated the tenacity to stick with a case for as long as it takes because unfortunately, in some cases, applying for and obtaining Social Security disability insurance benefits or Supplemental Security Income can take several years and multiple appeals.

Gemini Trust Launches Cryptocurrency Pegged To The US Dollar
Gemini will launch a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. The trust, led by the Winklevoss twins, received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services – NYDFS – to launch the asset. The new altcoin by Gemini Trust is named "Gemini dollar". This new cryptocurrency that the Winklevoss twins will launch, has two key features: the stability of fiat currency and the speed and borderless nature of cryptocurrency.
Gemini Dollar vs Tether
The Gemini Dollar looks a lot like Tether, the most widely traded cryptocurrency that is pegged to the USD that is designed to work as a stable coin. According to Gemini, theirs will be the first regulated stable coin, launched as an ERC20 on Ethereum allowing users to trade USD on the Ethereum network. Tether is not regulated and refuses auditing and requests to disclose its banking details.
The Process Leading to the Creation of the Gemini Dollar
Tyler Winklevoss commented that the idea of launching the USD-backed cryptocurrency came up a year ago. Launching a stable coin seems as an effective tool, as it is supposed to eliminate the major flaws of cryptocurrency, namely high volatility and lack of trust. Nevertheless, it depends on demand and now on competition, which can make it more volatile than intended.
Gemini was clearly looking for a win on this move. After having their Bitcoin ETF rejected, the Winklevoss twins were looking for the next step. Referring to how the Gemini Dollar is supposed to work, Tyler Winklevoss told CNBC "It is really a matter of bringing your US dollars onto the blockchain and making them borderless 24/7." He also pointed out that "We don't think anyone's solving for the trust problem. Audits have been lacking in the market up to this point."
Rising Interest in Stable Coins?
The report also states that there is an increasing interest among cryptocurrency users in having access to a stable coin. A peg to the US Dollar is considered by many to make a cryptocurrency stable, or at least stable enough, although many would disagree. Not everyone is a fan of this new concept. Michael Moro, CEO of Genesis Global Trading sees the potential, although he disagrees with the use case for stable coins so far: "Right now they're [stable coins] purely used on exchanges (arbitrage or crypto-to-crypto trading), but I think their potential use cases are much greater than just that."
Choosing to launch on the Ethereum network can also make the coin more unstable than previously thought. Its price might be pegged to the USD but operating with it depends solely on the Ethereum network and on the changes that Vitalik Buterin and other key figures will introduce to the network. Anyone who is looking to "blockhainize" their USD through the Gemini Dollar must take this risk into account.
How About Inflation?
At this point, it is important to note that the white paper for the Gemini Dollar doesn't speak about inflation at all. The creation of Gemini Dollars is governed by withdrawals from a Gemini account, after the user purchases them. If the user decides to redeem them for their USD amount, those Gemini Dollars that are redeemed will be destroyed once the account is credited with USD.
The Winklevoss Twins are Confident
The Winklevoss twins are confident about their product. They have assured the public that the Gemini Dollar is the first regulated stable coin which will do an adequate job in solving the trust problem – that is, if you trust Ethereum. Since the Gemini Dollar will be pegged to the USD on a 1:1 basis, at least its price should be more or less constant. If the USD takes a hit or if the Ethereum network faces difficulties, then that price stability will not matter all that much.

Catch Jay Shifman on the #PirateBroadcast™
Connect with Jay
https://jay.campsite.bio/
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayshifman/
Audio digitally transcribed by Otter.ai
Welcome to the #PirateBroadcast™, where we interview #interestingpeople doing #interestingthings. Where you can expand your connections, your community, #kindnessiscool and #smilesarefree. Let's get this party started.
Russ Johns 0:18
I think it's a beautiful day for a beautiful day. And we have Jay in the room a pirate in the making. Good morning, Jay. How are you doing my friend?
Jay Shifman 0:28
That's really all I've ever wanted to be is a pirate. So I'm honored to finally have have achieved a dream. I guess I gotta find something new to dream about now.
You graduated to pirate status.
And a lot of people, you know, they asked me where the word the pirate come from. And there's lots of different pieces of the puzzle. However, it's really about being in a community, caring about each other, starting a conversation and actually doing something positive in the world. You know, #kindnessiscool and #smilesarefree. I say that all the time. And it's a result of having some very challenging times. And I know that's some of the things that you talk about in your journey. And some of the things that you're doing actively, every single day helping other people work through their struggles, you know, going to measure where they are, and, you know, trying to make tomorrow a better day than yesterday. So you have an event coming up tonight actually, that people could check into tell us a little bit about that. Let's dive right into it.
Yeah, I do. And I'm very excited about it. It's the goal of this, as you said sort of is to make tomorrow better. And the easiest way that we can all contribute to making tomorrow better is by ending stigma around topics that there shouldn't be a stigma around and allowing people to feel comfortable talking about these things. The subjects that I talked about our mental health, substance misuse, drug use, and policy, those sorts of things. But there's unnecessary stigma around a lot of topics. And this event I'm doing tonight, the first of what's hopefully going to be a long, long stream of these. It's called rock bottom storytellers. It's a normalizing these, this the conversation around these these struggle moments, and hopefully ending stigma around them. So it's going to be for storytellers, talking about their lowest moments, one musician to give us a nice little break in the middle so that we can sort of have a palate cleanser, and I'm hosting it, put on by my company, choose your struggle. And if people go to my Facebook page, or just choose your struggle, or my youtube search youtube for Jay Shifman, you'll be able to find it and subscribe and check it out tonight at 830. Eastern time.
Well, thanks for sharing that thanks for the effort in in helping others around us, you know, because there's a lot, right. You know, we're in the middle of a pandemic. And even without a pandemic, there are a lot of people that struggle with the stigma. And it's like, they don't want to talk about it, because they don't want to be labeled, and they don't want to be labeled, because there's something that's going to impact their life down the road. You know, and I was talking to somebody the other day about, you know, even if they go talk to a counselor, it's on their permanent record and and that may not necessarily,you know, be something they want on their permanent record. It's like, I just need to talk to somebody, you know, it's like, it should be open and active and allowed in some way, shape or form. So I love the way that you turn. Turn it to stories. And how did you develop that, that that direction? And the way that you tell stories around that?
Well, there's sort of two reasons for it. Number one is that our brains learn through story. We all know that right? I'm reading two books right now, one of them is a story of somebody whose life and the other one is a sort of scientific exploration of a topic. The scientific exploration has 10 times the amount of information and good information in it. I'm taking more from the story, not intentionally, that's just the way our brains work, we learn more from story. So it's a way to help people connect. As as we like to say, it's hard to hate up close. If you can, you can sort of hate these ideas. But when you actually hear someone talk about it, your body, you have a reaction your body tells you otherwise. So that's number one. But number two is that's how I got my start. Back in 2015. Five years into recovery. I was 100% buying into the stigma around this. I thought that I had failed. I thought it was a stain. I thought it was sort of to use the words you just said, you know, mark on my permanent record, right. And a buddy of mine who runs a storytelling event in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I'm from, asked me repeatedly to tell the story every time I was like, you're crazy, man, that's never gonna happen. And then I finally got over that fear and I did it. And six years later, it's what I do for a living. I launched this business full time in 2019. And all thanks to that one night of getting up on stage and telling 100-150 people this story that I kept quiet for five years. So, you know, I know the power of this full, you know, full hand, I lived it. And so I want to give other people that opportunity, and especially those who don't have it. And that's why a lot of what I do focuses on giving voices to those who given platform, so those voices that don't normally have the opportunity, because it's great, you know, for the Jay Shifman's of the world to be able to get up here and tell my story. But what about the all these other people who don't have that platform, that's what I am just motivated by every day to try to solve
Well, and that's part of the #PirateBroadcast™ is, you know, #interestingpeople doing #interestingthings, that doesn't mean that it's all rainbows and unicorns, it's, sometimes we have #interestingthings that lead to kind of a serious topic. And we've had a lot of people on here talking about mental illness and, and challenges, you know, and, and, you know, I tell people, hey, I'm glad the first 40 years of my life had nothing to do with the internet, you know, there's no YouTube, there's no digital record of some of the shenanigans that I had to go through. And it's, it's reality, in so many ways that we have this. You know, mental illness is, is part of the fabric of life. Just like success is a part of fabric of life. And people don't really think about it that way. And they don't tell their stories about it. Because, you know, at some point in time, they, somebody decided that that wasn't the way to go. And so you know, you you keep it hidden You, you, you, you know, abused drugs, you, you know, drink alcohol, you try to push it down, you try to shove it down. And it's not really something that's, that's highlighted. So I love the idea of storytelling, and talking through this in a way that is productive for others to believe that it's okay.
Well, what's most important, I think, to keep in mind is that it's all in a spectrum, right. And this idea that we have, I mean, we're a very black and white thinking society, everything is either good or bad. It's in whatever the case is. And it's never true. There is never just two camps. You know, even in our political system, which is broken between two camps, there are millions of people who third party, there's never just two categories. And I think the most important, or the best illustration of that is I was reading this, this article in Psychology Today, maybe a couple months ago. And it was discussing how people who were used to be called what's the label of borderline personality disorder, are now being treated no different than those who have the disorder, whether it's bipolar, schizophrenia, whatever the case is, and the rationale there is, if somebody is 99%, you know, all of the categories that they need to be, you know, checked off to be given this diagnosis, except for one. Why does that mean, they should get a completely different regiment than someone who has that extra one, you know, checkmark. And of course, that doesn't make any sense when you when you think about it rationally. But that's the way we were operating for a while either you're you're in this camp, and you have the illness, or even this campaign, you're perfectly fine. So they've sort of started to wane out that, that diagnosis, and now treating people more on a spectrum. Well, okay, you have these symptoms, you don't have this one, instead of you are absolutely falling into a regimen because that's never the case. And I live that firsthand, I got a misdiagnosis when I was young, and it led to my struggles with substance misuse. And it's one of the reasons I'm such an advocate for this is that my story doesn't fit that sort of black and white thinking, you know, as I like to joke when I speak, I didn't first start struggling with substances when a friend passed me a joint underneath the bleachers in seventh grade gym class, like Nancy Reagan wanted us to believe what's gonna happen? No, we can't just have these binary thinking, ideas around these around these important topics, we have to be fluid we have to be understand.
Well, it even goes to you know, ADD, ADHD, you know, dyslexia, you know, things that are real world examples of people's challenges, and things that people go through anxiety, you know, panic attacks, all of these things, you know, social, social distancing, in terms of, you know, there are people that are having challenges not being out in public not being able to connect with friends and family, you know, there's and to say that one's better or different or, you know, more challenging than another is kind of short sighted, I think. So, how do you how do you manage an outcome or is there an outcome through the storytelling exercise that you go through?
Jay Shifman 10:00
Yeah, I would say that it's very personal for everyone, you know, again, from doing this myself, I've gotten offstage. And I've had fingers in my face. How dare you, you know, a lot of times, my wife knows the stories, because I come home with them all the time back when, you know, public speaking was the thing of the grandparent who was like, how dare you, you know, say the ADHD is over prescribed, the medication is over prescribed and all that kind of stuff. And it's like, I didn't say that I told you my story of it being over prescribed, you know, but it what it does in people's very personal, I've also had people come up to me afterwards crying and saying, help me understand my son better my daughter better, my father better whatever the case is. So you know, it, they're they're all across the spectrum, you know, and most of them are good. I would say, I don't want people walking away from this and thinking that, you know, I get accosted on the street, I'm very lucky. 99% of the interactions I have are very positive people saying thank you so much. And, you know, helping me understand that I can talk about this with my podcast that you just struggle podcast, the best email I've ever gotten, and it's hanging on my wall is someone from a northern African country who emailed me and said, I'm so happy that I found this podcast, thank you so much for doing it. I don't get to hear this talked about where I live. And that's why I do this, right, is that that one person who I'm probably never going to meet in real life. In fact, when I say that, I'm never going to meet that person in real life, I was able to change that life just by putting out this podcast. So that's why we do this is we no idea who we're gonna interact and who we're gonna help change the way that they go about their life.
Russ Johns 11:42
I absolutely agree. You know, cuz, I mean, it hits close to home for me, you know, my dad had dementia, you know, I've had family members that struggle with it, you know, My son committed suicide. I've had relatives, and suicide, and it's just a real topic that hits home close to me, and, and that's one of the reasons why I wake up, I think about #gratitude. In the morning, I just wake up and I want to be able to pursue something positive today. And I know that it's just going to be a productive day, if I can either help someone, you know, offer a piece of advice that's going to influence or inspire someone, or get a guest that is going to help move that forward, and have a conversation like this, Jay. So I really appreciate it. I want to, I want to give a shout out to some of the people in the room, Michael Baker. He's always a advocate for the pirates. Good morning. Thank you so much for being here, Michael. I really appreciate that. Tracie, the producer of the show, very important topic. Absolutely, positively. There's so many things that are you know, less than perfect. So we all we all fit in the bucket of less than perfect, I think. And it's just like you said, Michael, just like you said, Jay, it's really degrees. You know, it's like we all have degrees of things that are your testimony, experience, strength and hope. Thank you so much. JD Thank you. Hi to all the pirates, Russ Hedge. Russ Hedge. I sent Russ an email. I was supposed to be on his show this morning with Gabriel. And my mother fell and broke her arm and and so my schedules got kind of messed around. And I just publicly apologize to Russ, for being caught in the crossfire of calendar malfunction. And so Russ, I appreciate you. I love the opportunity to come in and talk on your show. However, it's really, really going to be a challenge today. So everyone needs an advocate when fighting through struggle. absolutely, positively. And I think that absolutely. silverfox. Darlene, thank you so much for being here. Hola. She says, hope everyone is well on this morning #PirateBroadcast™. Hugs Russ, thank you so much. And then Lorrie from yesterday. The Queen of green and Colorado. She's says Good morning pirates. Russ says all good. Love you, Russ. Back at you brother, we will reschedule. So I just really want to be able to illustrate to people that just this brief comment in the #PirateBroadcast™ gives me hope that people have an opportunity to connect so where can people connect with you, Jay, on your event tonight that you're having if they want to find out more about you and what's going on?
Well, I'm Jay schiffman, or choose your struggle on every social media. And the event tonight specifically will be broadcasting live in my choose your struggle Facebook page, go to Facebook, search for choose your struggle, if you don't have Facebook, which I know a lot of a lot of people don't go to YouTube and search for Jay Shifman. Not Choose your struggle, that's a different page. So go to Jay Shifman and subscribe there, it'll pop up live at 830 eastern time tonight. And it'll also be you know, recorded and shared everywhere including I do most of my work on LinkedIn. But unlike you, my friend for some whatever reason LinkedIn is not allowed me the LinkedIn live yet. So this one will not be broadcast live on LinkedIn. But recording will be posted there.
Yeah, it's crazy. I and I don't have stories yet. It's like a lot of people have stories, and I have stories.
It doesn't make any sense.
Okay. It's like, Hey, you got live, you don't get stories.
I want live, I want to be able to I want this event to go live on LinkedIn because that's where I do most of my work. But, you know, who knows? That's so funny.
You know, and it's really, it's about the whole thing of the entire thing of making sure that people have an opportunity to hear a story that relates to what they're doing, how they're feeling. What's the emotional attachment and recovery, you know, feeling better? It's an ongoing process. It's a lifetime effort. You know, it doesn't just magically one day go away. Yeah. So what are some stories that you can relate to that the people might hear tonight?
Well, I'll tell you, the one that always gets me is we see this in movies and TV all the time, right? It's the person comes out of or goes into rehab, or whatever the case is, and they're like, great, I'm good now. And that's just not, that's not how this works. You know, I I went in and did my recovery work over the course of about four months. But it took me another, I would say, four to five years to truly feel that I was back to, you know where I needed to be and that I was healthy, and that I was safe and stable. So those are the things that I really look for. And so one story, if they're presenting this, as you know, I was struggling with substance misuse, or whatever. And then I got off the drugs. And now I'm great. And it's like, okay, I mean, tell me more about that interim period, because I know that's not actually what happened. And the other one that I really look for, you know, as a person who survived multiple suicide attempts, and by the way, I'm so sorry that you lost your son. There is a lot of survivor's guilt there that kind of never goes away of like, you know, Why was I so lucky to make it when others didn't. So my heart is definitely with you on that. But the people who can talk about stuff like that in an open way, that says to me, okay, you are clearly at a more place of peace with this. And you can be a incredible advocate for other people. And when I look for people to do this event, I'm doing another, you know, storytelling thing going coming up soon. That's what I look for. It's not someone, you know, I have big names that pitch me to get on my podcast. And occasionally I say, yes, if I think that they're, you know, a good person for the show. But a lot of times I say no, because they sort of rely on their name or their status to do a lot of the talking for them. I don't want that I want a person do you may or may not be a person that you know, but when you finish listening, you want to go, Oh, I want to know more about that person. Those are the people I'm looking for the people who can tell their story, the way that they lived it and are open and vulnerable. That is what makes the is the most meaningful to me.
Well, I was having a conversation with Rubin, Rubin from Dubb yesterday, you know, we were on a show, little episode, and we were talking about the challenges, you know, being an entrepreneur and, and having this, you know, it's like every day is a different adventure. And the reality is, is that you get you feel beat up a lot of times you feel exhausted, you know that there's something at the end and you just have to keep going. And it really, you know, a lot of people isolate themselves, when in reality, they should be actually opening up and having conversations like this and saying, Hey, I am in a, you know, I I'm in a couple of masterminds. So that's one way that I can relate you know, you can open up and you can actually share and say, Hey, this week's been really challenging XYZ and broke and you know, we were talking about today before the show, you know the frustration of tech, it's, it's all of these little things. It's not just one thing that builds up, and, you know, allows us to explode. It's, it's 10,000 little details that just kind of just build upon things in it. It's like, and I've had periods in times in my life where, you know, it's been very dark and the best outcomes, and the biggest changes and pivots in my life have been when it's very close to being tragic.
Yeah, that was beautifully said. And it taps into something that I say, whenever I speak, whenever I get interviewed whenever I have chats like this, and that is reminding those who are struggling right now to reach out, you know, as someone who's been there, I truly felt that there was no one I could go to. And of course, now 11 years later, I look back and go, God, that was so dumb, you know, I had so many people in my corner. But I didn't want to be a burden, I felt that I'd burned every bridge, all those kind of things do you feel. So there's a saying, those of us who do this work, you know, we say a lot, which is I'd rather spend two hours talking to you today than two hours at your funeral tomorrow. So please, if you're struggling, you know, someone who's struggling, reach out to them, you know, don't don't you don't want to live with that guilt, I can promise you, you don't want to live with that guilt. And there are ways to do it safely. There's something that I teach and I coach is how to reach out to people that you think are struggling, you know, I've got certifications and all these things, because there's a lot of science that goes into it. And I understand that hesitation, you don't want to upset someone you don't want to whatever, just know that it's better to take that risk than to possibly live with that regret later on, that you didn't reach out when you have concerns.
No, no. And, and, you know, like I said, You know, I, I live in a very positive world because I choose to be positive, Ichoose to have #gratitude when I wake up. And think about all the things that I do have. I'm a can person, not a can't person. However, I'm, you know, 100% transparent here is that not every day is perfect for me. Like, it's like I get stressed too, I get you know, I have these things that I want to talk about and share and, you know, explode on and just vent at times. And, and so having people you can reach out to and know that they will just listen is is something that everyone should have in their toolbox. So I just really encourage everybody to think about that. So I want to I want to silverfox Darlene says I hope LinkedIn approves us for LinkedIn live to talk about these issues that affect all of us. Absolutely. These mental health topics are part of work, employment management processes. Not hard to see. absolutely, positively. Nancy is in the morning. So my past is always present. The difference is that today I am grateful to have made it instead of trying to run from it. I think that's that's a great point. Nancy, and Nancy is up early. She's on the west coast. So she's she's up early, Russ Hedge is up early. Russ Johns that point when you know, it will get better, but don't feel it is when community becomes so important. We need those people with whom we can show up raw, absolutely, positively. Wendy says Good morning pirates. If we focus on maintaining mental health, we'll help so many more people, especially us, it's really hard to feel sorry for yourself when you're helping somebody else's in need. Yeah. Would you agree with that?
100%. And, and there's a lot of science to back that up that the you know, there have been studies that showed that the way that we feel the most connected in the world is by helping other people, and in all the amazing things it does in our brain. And that's why waking up and sort of being grateful as you so perfectly put is so important. And beyond that. I actually have two moments of gratitude built into my schedule two moments of affirmation. On Mondays on LinkedIn, I do a whole post on someone I admire and thanking them for the impact they've had on my life. And on Friday, I send someone $5 on Venmo saying Friday coffee and Jay go get a cup of coffee on me and then post that to Instagram and tell all my followers why this person is amazing. And they should go follow him. Because it gives me something to look forward to at the beginning of the end of every week. It's a way to connect with people in a way to feel connected. It's a way to feel grounded, right? It's not all about me. It's about helping other people. And I definitely encourage people to do stuff like that, obviously not those two, you know, that's not what speaks to you, but finding moments to feel connected and to thank other people. I can't tell you enough how great it makes you feel and how more worldly and connected, it makes you feel.
And also, there's a side benefit. And I want to, I want to share this that I've shared it before on the show is, the side benefit is when you're helping others and you're adding value and you're contributing to the world. Magic things happen in your life, things show up that you'd never expect. Conversations start happening that you would, you can never imagine. And so adding value, having gratitude, recognizing that you need help, asking for help, all of these things are things that Jay and I are talking about today. And it's, there's not a downside, to working toward being healthy. And being in a state of mind that is positive and productive. Because nobody, nobody wants to be hanging out with a downer. So let's, let's work on changing our story. Because it starts right here. You know, we got to change our story in for ourselves. And we got to change our story that we're telling ourselves, it's like, you're saying, Oh, my entire day is crap. Like, that's not true. No, you got up, you probably had a meal, you know, you, you had some joy, the sun is shining, you know, it's like, think about what you can find that is encouraging.
I love that. And it's why I finish every day, I have three moments of mindfulness built into my schedule. And the last one is I finish every day by doing a sort of look back on my day, and I rate it from one to five. And I do it for two reasons. One, exactly as you just said, we have this ability to take a terrible moment and decide it means everything, right? And so if I look back and go, okay, that moment was awful. Maybe that moment lasted a couple hours. But everything else around, it was pretty good. I'm not gonna write my mom my day, as bad as that moment, right? The second reason is, as a person who struggles with depression, when we get into those moments, it's really easy to let art that voice in our head, take control and say it's always been this way that always be this way. And if I actually have data, where I can go back and look at my ratings and say, no, it's only been this way for two days, another day or two, I'm gonna be fine. It's a way of combating that voice in my head. That's telling me everything is lost. So it's definitely something I recommend, especially if you do struggle with those ruts, as as many of us do, and for even if you don't write it as us just so perfectly said, to do a mental inventory. And remind yourself No, not everything was as bad as that one. One low moment.
Yeah. Now, I just want to say Howard Kaufman, thanks for encouraging message here and #inspiration can help us reflect on one's internal challenges. We all have them. We all you know, don't lie to me. You've had some bad days before. You know. You can't hide it from me. It's like I know. And Howard is an #inspiration to me. He does some great work in his his products. I love if you're not connected to Howard, connect with Howard. Nancy, Jay Shifman. Yes. When people disappear or their patterns change, reach out to them. When I am in that place, reaching out is difficult. But I welcome when people reach out to me. Yeah, absolutely. Nancy, do we need to put you on speed speed dial? I love it. And Wendy says #gratitude therapy. Absolutely. And her mental wellness. And Nancy says she loves the cup of coffee idea.
Thank you, Nancy.
Yes, coffee. Great idea. Jenny gold. Yes. Hi, Russ and Jay. Jenny, I owe you a phone call. And a follow up. So she sent me some great beard oil. I love it. I just want a shout out. So you know, this is the kind of community that we can actually, really, it doesn't take millions of people to make millions of impacts. You know, a small story planted in the right place, can take hold. And it's like planting a tree you know, you have to nurture it, you have to understand it. You have to know what it needs, and continue to support it until it provides fruit for us. And it's a journey. It's a it's a message that needs to live on and continue. So I applaud your efforts. Jay, thank you so much for being here. And for those that joined late, you know you can find Jay Shifman on YouTube. You can and on Facebook. Is it gonna be streamed to facebook live tonight.
It is and I have a link, I don't know how to drop it anywhere. But if you find me any other social media, just search for choose your struggle or Jay Shifman. And my camp site, you know, with all of my links and all that stuff that is cool kids are doing these days is there. So definitely find me and, you know, click on that and you'll find a link straight to those events for that also check out the choose your struggle podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. I talk to people with lived experience, industry leaders, everything about the subjects of that thank you for that beautiful mental health, substance misuse and recovery and drug use and policy. And if you just want to have a conversation, I tell the story a lot. But last spring, when I lost five speaking gigs in two days after the world shut down because of COVID. I was like, alright, what am I going to do to still have an impact. And so I threw up a comment on on my social media on my podcasts on my website, just saying, hey, reach out if you need someone to talk to. And I was swamped, because so many people just need someone to talk to you. So that never stopped if you need someone to talk to. I know I'm gonna volunteer Russ here because he's clearly one of those people too. But reach out to one of us and I guarantee you will be there for you.
Absolutely, positively. Well, Jay, as always, it's a pleasure to connect and have conversation around the subject and hopefully inspire, motivate someone to make a difference. #Makeitmatter, folks. The pirate community is welcoming, it's open, and it's approachable. So if you're not a pirate, become a pirate, support the community, start a conversation, open it up with #gratitude, and make sure you're making a difference.

Anything from bad electrical wiring in your house, faulty appliances, damage to power lines and lightning strikes can cause electrical surges. Although an actual surge lasts a microsecond only, frequent surges can end up damaging the electrical components that are connected to your home and significantly degrade their life expectancy.
If you are experiencing frequent electrical surges, the cause is most likely an electrical device that is connected to the wiring or home grid. Try removing cheaply made powerboards or devices from the outlet and see if it will prevent the surges. Otherwise, you should call a professional electrician.
If the switches on powerpoints are hard to turn off and on or suddenly become sticky, it can be a sign that cabling behind the fixture or the fixture itself has been compromised and needs investigation. The device plus the cabling that is behind it may be smouldered due to overheating. That's a serious fire risk, and it needs to be corrected immediately.
Just like electrical surges, dips and sags in the electrical supply can be caused by faulty devices connected to the power grid or devices made with substandard materials, which draw lots of power when you turn them on.
• Bad main neutral connection – It will go on causing problems in your home until a professional comes to fix it.
• Different light types with different wattage – You should check if all your globes are identical.
High wattage items such as hairdryers and microwaves can trip circuit breakers, especially when you use other items that consume a lot of power on the same source. Circuit breakers are designed to protect people and their homes; when a circuit breaker drips, that is a sign it is doing its job perfectly. When it trips, check what you are using. If it's a hair dryer, you should use the low setting. You can also limit the electrical usage on one circuit while using high watt devices.
Sometimes the initial warning sign that your home has an electrical fault is a tingling sensation whenever you touch an appliance or tap. If this ever happens, do not touch anything else, you should call a professional electrician to investigate the cause.
This scenario occurs frequently and is dangerous. It could be as a result of factors outside of your control or knowledge, like changes to plumbing and piping or fatigued electrical cabling from your street.
Contact LJ Electrical if you need a professional electrician in Shepshed. We pride ourselves on high-quality workmanship and competitive prices. We do everything, including changing your fuse and complete rewiring and have a quick response time for emergency repairs.

If you are looking for the answer to the question where does poison hemlock grow, you've come to the right place. There are several types of plants that are poisonous, and if you know how to identify them, you will be well on your way to protecting your home and family.
Water hemlock
Water hemlock, also known as Cicuta maculata, is one of the most dangerous poisonous plants in North America. It is a native plant that is often confused with parsnips, but it is not the same.
The toxin that is present in the water hemlock is cicutoxin. This is a neurotoxin that acts on the central nervous system. Although this toxin is labile, it can be absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion of water hemlock can cause convulsions and paralysis. This is because of the fact that the toxin acts on the central nervous system.
Several different types of animals are susceptible to hemlock poisoning. Cattle, sheep, goats, and horses are all particularly vulnerable.
Poison hemlock has been a problem in the livestock industry for centuries. Symptoms usually appear in about 20 minutes. Animals can be poisoned by up to eight ounces of green leaves. Similarly, hay or silage can be a source of hemlock poisoning.
Managing hemlock is essential to ensure the safety of your livestock. Ideally, you should remove the plant completely. You can also spray the plant with herbicides. However, you should make sure to read the label. If you do not know what type of herbicide to use, your local weed control authority can help.
Water hemlock is often found in areas with wet seepage, creeks, and irrigation ditches. Whenever possible, you should avoid exposing the plant's root to water.
When attempting to remove poison hemlock, it is important to take care to remove the entire plant. If you are not careful, the toxins may remain in the stems. They are a powerful toxin and have been known to kill children.
When handling hemlock, it is important to wear gloves and keep the contaminated area away from human contact. It is recommended that you take frequent breaks while controlling hemlock.
Fool's parsley
Fool's parsley is an herb that belongs to the family of Apiaceae. It grows in waste places, ditches, and fields. There are many varieties of this plant, so it is important to know how to identify the different species.
Fool's parsley grows in warm, moist places, so it is best to avoid growing it in an area where it is not wanted. The plants grow on slender stalks and are 1 to 2 feet high. They also produce yellowing, spotted, and drying leaves.
In addition to being poisonous, fool's parsley can also be very painful. This is because the plant contains alkaloids that cause heat and pain in the mouth, throat, and stomach. If you ingest this plant, you may experience vomiting, diarrhea, and stomachaches.
Poison hemlock is a biennial plant. It is native to Europe and North Africa. However, it is now naturalized throughout Canada.
When the leaves are dry, the seeds split into two segments. The mature seed is triangular in shape. During this time, the leaves have a foul smell when crushed.
Fool's parsley has been used to treat cholera, convulsions, and gastro-intestinal problems. Its leaves are small and delicate, and the flowers are similar to other members of the carrot family.
Some people mistakenly believe that the plant is related to chervil or sweet cicely. Fool's parsley is a plant that is native to northwest Africa. You can tell it apart from these other common foraging plants by its hairless stems and bracts.
The seeds of the plant are shaped like anise seeds. Although the plant is not as deadly as some other members of the Apiaceae family, it is still fatal.
Elderflowers
Poison hemlock is a plant that was first native to Europe. It has since become naturalized in many parts of the world. This plant is very dangerous to animals and humans. When it is disturbed, it can grow to large sizes and spread through water and seeds.
It can invade a wide range of habitats, including meadows, ditches, fields, and roadsides. Its leaves can look like other plants, such as wild carrot or Queen Ann's lace. However, it has a poisonous odor.
The leaves of poison hemlock are hairless, and the seeds are small and round. They remain viable for about two to three years.
Poison hemlock is known to cause respiratory failure and respiratory paralysis in humans. If you see signs of poisoning, get medical assistance immediately.
To dispose of poison hemlock, wear gloves and a mask. Also, do not burn it. Otherwise, it may release its toxins into the air.
Poison hemlock grows in wet, damp areas, such as swamps, rivers, or streams. It can also survive in dry sites.
Seeds can begin to germinate in the summer. However, they do not produce a new crop until the following year. So, the best time to remove it is early in the summer before it sets its seeds.
After a seed matures, it splits to reveal two ribbed, round seeds. Each of the seeds can contain hundreds of seeds.
When a flower is crushed, it releases a foul odor. This smell can be deadly, especially if you are around a lot of children.
Because it is a poisonous plant, it can be very harmful to livestock, and it is not safe to eat. It is commonly used in medicine, but it can be fatal.
Other poisonous plants that look similar to poison hemlock
Poison hemlock is a dangerous plant that is often mistaken for other edible plants. It is a native plant to Europe and Asia, and has become naturalized in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. It grows in wet areas, including along streams and waterways. However, poison hemlock has the ability to kill both animals and humans.
Poison hemlock looks similar to Queen Anne's lace, another plant that is toxic to both humans and animals. They both have purple spots on the stem. The only difference is that Queen Anne's lace has three pronged bracts at the base of the flower.
Poison hemlock is a noxious weed that is considered a biennial. It grows in wet areas of the country, including along streams and ditches. In the first year, it forms a rosette of small, dark green leaves. It then matures into a tall, flowering stalk.
This invasive weed is one of the most poisonous plants in the United States. Animals, like cattle and sheep, can be stricken by its green leaves. Toxins are found in all parts of the plant. When ingested, the toxin is most severe. If an animal is accidentally poisoned, it may develop coma.
In addition to being extremely toxic, poison hemlock can also cause blistering. It is a common weed that is found in almost every state.
Water hemlock is even more toxic than poison hemlock. A single sprig of green leaves can contain four to eight ounces of poison. That's enough to kill a cow.
If you've been poisoned by poison hemlock, the best thing to do is to seek medical attention immediately. Poison hemlock is also known as deadly hemlock tea. You should never try to eat it.
Symptoms of poison hemlock poisoning
Poison hemlock is an extremely toxic plant. In the United States, it is found in a variety of habitats, including fields, wetland areas, irrigation ditches, creekbeds, and waste areas. It can be deadly if eaten, so be careful when handling it.
Toxins in the hemlock plant are toxic to humans, livestock, and other animals. Ingesting hemlock can lead to muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, convulsions, and even death.
If you or your animal have been exposed to poison hemlock, it is important to get medical attention immediately. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the illness. Your doctor may administer intravenous fluids, decontaminate your gastrointestinal tract, and secure your airway. They may also give you antiseizure medication, as well as ventilation.
Hemlock poisoning has no known antidote, so it is critical to get treatment as soon as possible. The toxin in the plant causes dermatitis, and may also cause respiratory and cardiovascular complications.
Symptoms of poison hemlock usually appear within one to three hours after ingestion, and can include tremors, weakness, and respiratory failure. Respiratory paralysis is the most common symptom of hemlock poisoning, and can be fatal.
Acutely, hemlock can be fatal to humans, and it can be lethal to livestock, particularly sheep and cows. Foragers should be aware of the appearance and characteristics of the plant, and should always wear protective clothing when handling it.
Toxins from the plant can be absorbed through the skin, lungs, and mucus membranes. Therefore, it is crucial to wear gloves, and to avoid burning the stalks.
Most victims of hemlock poisoning recover, though it is not uncommon for patients to be admitted to the hospital with breathing difficulties or seizures. A doctor may also have to ventilate you for several days.

I'm obsessed with throw pillows right now. I like that you can make a bunch of different ones and it doesn't matter if they all match or not. Plus, they're so quick to make! This Gathered Throw Pillow has a beautiful texture with a neutral color, which would look great for someone who has a lot of color going on in their living room already!
This bag is the perfect example of that "shabby chic" style that is so popular right now. And it looks like it would be easy enough for a beginner to tackle. Plus, I'm a sucker for fabric flower embellishments!
I wanted to make this last winter but I never got around to it. Fortunately (or unfortunately…) it'll be cold again soon, so I can make it this year! Again with the flower embellishments.
Pretty much every dress I've ever made has been a variation of this one–a pre-made shirt attached to an elastic waistband skirt. I speak from experience when I say that this is a great beginner project. It's still on my list of things to make because I want to make another one!
I don't have any kids, but if I did I'd make this shirt pronto. I can't even choose a favorite part–I love the ruffles, the colors, and the fact that it was made from recycled t-shirts. Oh, and I also love that it was inspired by popsicles!
So those are my favorite patterns and sewing project ideas on AllFreeSewing.com. What are your favorites? What's currently on your list of things to sew?

But, should it get off the ground, it will likely fill that Game Of Thrones-shapes hole in your heart (and evenings).


Despite having introduced the "other" gender category in Delhi University in its application form in 2015, none of the colleges has seen any aspirant taking admission under this category. While DU officials say no particular reason can be pointed out, members of the transgender community claim widespread discrimination on campus deters students from taking admission in regular colleges.
"Even though Delhi University has a queer campus, members of the community are afraid of the experiences. There have been multiple instances where one has faced discrimination on campus itself. While on a policy level, DU has included the 'other' category, there is a lack of sensitivity on the administration level. Often lack of a grievance cell makes matters worse," said activist Abhina Aher. "Aspirants are asked uncomfortable questions by the staff. If indeed DU wants to make an inclusive campus, why are they not hiring someone from our community at the administration level so that the aspirants are made to feel welcome," asked Ms Aher.

Connectionism and Psychology: A Psychological Perspective on New Connectionist Research
by Philip T. Quinlan
Cloth: 978-0-226-69960-8 | Paper: 978-0-226-69961-5
Library of Congress Classification BF311.Q57 1991
Dewey Decimal Classification 153
The rapid growth of neural network research has led to a major reappraisal of many fundamental assumptions in cognitive and perceptual psychology. This text—aimed at the advanced undergraduate and beginning postgraduate student—is an in-depth guide to those aspects of neural network research that are of direct relevance to human information processing.
Examples of new connectionist models of learning, vision, language and thought are described in detail. Both neurological and psychological considerations are used in assessing its theoretical contributions. The status of the basic predicates like exclusive-OR is examined, the limitations of perceptrons are explained and properties of multi-layer networks are described in terms of many examples of psychological processes. The history of neural networks is discussed from a psychological perspective which examines why certain issues have become important. The book ends with a general critique of the new connectionist approach.
It is clear that new connectionism work provides a distinctive framework for thinking about central questions in cognition and perception. This new textbook provides a clear and useful introduction to its theories and applications.

Get more life out of your cooler by easily repairing it with a two-pack of Coleman® Cooler Hinges.
Cooler Hinges is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 51.
Rated 3 out of 5 by unhappy Marc from Defective Hinge Replacement I bought a Coleman cooler, one of them big ones, in April, 2019. In June of 2019, one of the hinges broke. I do not keep receipts, so when I explained my issue, Coleman had me read the date on the cooler. For whatever reason, it was out of warrenty. Did it sit long in BJ's? don't know. $11 later, I replaced it. Should have been coverd by warranty. After spending the $5 on shipping, the agent offered a discounted ship version. Too Late, and too bad. Defective design, does not last.
Rated 2 out of 5 by JGood from Hinges are too lightweight I feel stupid when I have to purchase replacement parts for something that is too lightweight for its intended use. The hinges broke in my cooler because they are lightweight plastic on a cooler lid that is quite heavy. The replacement hinges I purchased are exactly like the ones that came on my cooler. They fit correctly. However, I know that these will break with normal use also. Coleman, why can't you just make the original hinges in a manner that will hold up to normal use? I know I will be buying these again soon. Disappointed.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barb62 from Exactly what I needed Called local sporting good stores and none carried replacement hinges for Coleman coolers. So I decidedd to go to their website and was able to find what I needed model number of your coolers are stamped on the bottom of cooler. Knowing the model number of your cooler is helpful.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrkfox5 from Great Comes with the screws needed to re-install very great price and fits perfect.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Haig from Cooler Hinges/Drain I ordered hinges & drain for my coleman cooler, which I've had for over 10yrs. This cooler has served me well, gone on many fishing trips. When a careless first mate broke the hinges, I thought there is nothing wrong with the rest of the cooler so I would get new hinges & drain. All parts were correct & fit perfectly only problem was the long time it took to arrive.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dot Duk from Perfect Hinges! We had an old metal-sided cooler from Coleman. It accidentally fell from where it was stored and all the hinges broke off. We were able to replace them with the hinges we ordered from Coleman. I was concerned we wouldn't find replacement hinges because of the cooler's age, but they were the exact ones we needed. Thank you Coleman!!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Big Ben III from Hinges fit as expected. The plastic replacement hinges for my cooler fit as expected. However, I am nervous about their longevity. Much thinner material than the original hinges which broke after 3 summers of light use. When these break I am not sure if I will spend the money for the steel hinges or just order more than one pair.


Earlier this year, the on-campus advisor to Fort Valley State University's AKA chapter was accused of running a prostitution ring on campus.
48-year-old Alecia Jeanetta Johnson, who at the time of the scandal also worked as the executive assistant to the historically black university's president, allegedly used her position to supply women to clients, reportedly so they could save money for their sorority fees.(click HERE if you missed that).
The GBI has been investigating this scandal for months and Johnson has now been indicted. Warrants have also been issued for the men johns involved.
At Least Two 'Sorority Sisters' Cast Members Suspended By Their Organizations… Now What?
It's been a long first season for VH1's latest reality show, Sorority Sisters and they've only aired about 4 episodes.
Drama has moved from on screen to off screen as boycotts and petitions against the show sparked advertising pull-outs, and death threats were even reportedly received by the cast.
Now word on the curb is that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has officially suspended two of it's members for participating in VH1's latest ratchet reality show.


I created 3 custom field(A,B,C) under issue. They are all single choice.
Goal, Once custom field A value set to 1, custom B,C will auto filled to a and i.
I have attempted to fix your script, but I have not tested it.
Once A selected a, B and C will auto fill with ii and 2. Could you provide with me more advise on this please.
I wrote a script that seems to accomplish what you need. First, I get the select list options for Select List B. Then, I get the options for Select List C.
I then check the value of Select List A.
If the value of Select List A is 'a', then set value in Select List B and Select List C.
If the value of Select List A is 'b', then set values in Select List B and Select List C.
If the value of Select List A is 'c', then set values in Select List B and Select List C.
Can not find matching method on line 4,5,24 25,28,29, 32 33 Please advise.
Sorry for that. I made some improvements to the script. All you need to do is change the script and put in the correct name of your Select List custom fields.
As @Jenna Davis said, this should go in behaviour attached to the Select List A field.
I am trying to achieve something similar. I have 3 risk field , Risk Consequence, Risk Likelihood, Risk Rating.
I am trying to automate the Rating from the Consequence * Likelihood.
Is this possible to write a server side behaviour script to do this and if so should the script be placed on all 3 fields?
If you want to accomplish this with a behaviour, you'd most likely want to have a behaviour on the Consequence and Likelihood fields. That would ensure that changes to either field would get picked up and the value would be calculated correctly.
Are you setting this up as a behaviour? If so, please send me a screenshot of your behaviour configurations page. If not, how are you implementing your code?
This will also give you code completion for behaviours if you have a development environment set up. You can read more here.
I created a new field of type scripted field, and added code in the script console.
You should probably be using a behaviour to accomplish this. A scripted field will not let you use the 'setFormValue' method which explains why you received the error. Scripted Fields are more for running calculations or pulling information from an outside source, whereas you can simply use a behaviour to set the select the options you want during issue creation. For your particular use case I believe a behaviour is more appropriate overall.
The example Josh provided above should work for what you're wanting to accomplish. The script will make the other fields auto-fill when an option in field A is selected.
If I want to apply this code for multi-select field, what are the changes I need to make?


I have had numerous reports of drier than normal corn silage this year. It is hard to post a blog that answers all the questions about corn silage. Nutrient analysis of corn silage, dry matter, nitrate levels, analysis of other feedstuffs, cow size, cow condition, environmental factors, and many more variables can impact the amount of corn silage you need to feed. I recommend you consult your nutritionist or extension specialist on your specific situation.
Dry Matter (DM): Rainy days kept many from harvesting corn silage at the correct time this year. Matter of fact, many corn silage bags will test pretty dry. Some may be 50% DM. This could pose some challenges to fermentation and increase spoilage on the face of the bag/pile. It can also open the door for molds. Thus, I strongly recommend sampling your corn silage and getting a nutrient analysis. If molds are present, the silage should be analyzed for that as well.
Protein/Energy makeup: Dry corn silage may be a bit lower in protein, but corn silage is mainly used for energy. In fact, corn silage can offer too much energy to gestating cows if intake is not limited. In most cases, it is least-cost to supplement some protein and limit-feed the silage to meet energy requirements. If your silage is dry, cows may consume much more dry matter than when the corn silage is 35% DM. This could compound problems with overfeeding energy via a corn silage based ration.
Ration palatability: If your corn silage is too dry, you may need to make adjustments to maintain a moist, palatable ration for finishing diets. Likely, cows won't mind the extra dry ration… they will eat it. For most rations, the simplest solution could be adding water to the TMR. Another option is to utilize wet forms of co-product feeds like wet distillers grains, wet corn gluten feed, or brewers grains to add moisture and nutrients. If neither of these solutions are appealing, adding molasses is another option to improve palatability.
Feeding Strategy: Offering hay free-choice is standard practice in the Midwest. Using the same free-choice feeding strategy with corn silage can result in some pretty fat ladies. Palatability of corn silage is high. Cows will consume 90-100 lbs. of silage if given the opportunity. In nearly all scenarios, that is over-feeding. Thus, limit-feeding corn silage is the best feeding strategy. Cow behavior will change. They will meet you at the front door and may bawl more because they are not full. Some guys can't stand to hear cows bawl, so they will offer cornstalks or poor quality hay free-choice.
If your corn silage was harvested late, you will need to make ration adjustments to accommodate the additional DM in the corn silage. Fermentation may have been less successful. A nutrient analysis is important and will ensure proper feeding levels can be attained.
