PVA voices concerns about staffing shortages at VA's health care system
Post Date: March 4, 2020
WASHINGTON (March 3, 2020) — Paralyzed Veterans of America's leaders are meeting with lawmakers this week to urge that veterans' health care, benefits, and civil rights are prioritized during the second session of the 116th Congress. Before a joint hearing of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs today, PVA National President David Zurfluh stressed the need to increase staffing levels across the Department of Veterans Affairs' health care system and access to caregivers' benefits.
"Preserving and strengthening the VA's specialized systems of care, such as Spinal Cord Injury and Disease (SCI/D) care, remains the highest priority for Paralyzed Veterans of America," said Zurfluh. "However, if the VA continues to woefully understaff facilities, their capacity to treat veterans will be diminished, and could lead to the closure of facilities and reductions in services offered to them."
In 2019, nearly 49,000 staffing positions at VA medical facilities were vacant. The extensive hiring processes make it difficult to hire and retain staff, which prohibits SCI/D Centers from meeting adequate staffing levels that are needed to care for this specialized population. According to PVA, there is a shortage of 600 nurses in the SCI/D System of Care.
"Given this dire situation, Paralyzed Veterans of America strongly advocates for Congress to provide enough funding for the VA to reform its hiring practices and hire additional medical professionals, particularly physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and rehabilitation therapists, to meet demand for services in the SCI/D System of Care and ensure the positions, pay, and other incentives they offer are competitive with the private sector," said Zurfluh.
In 2018, eligibility under the VA's Comprehensive Family Caregiver Program was expanded to include seriously-injured veterans from eras pre-9/11. The VA has failed to meet congressional deadlines to expand the caregiver benefits required in the VA MISSION Act, leaving thousands of eligible veterans and their caregivers without the benefits that they've earned and deserve.
"Paralyzed Veterans of America calls on Congress to perform effective oversight to press the VA to implement the expansion of caregiver benefits to eligible veterans and caregivers by June," said Zurfluh. "Under the caregiver program, the final phase of expansion to service-connected injured veterans was delayed after its expected implemention on October 1, 2021, so we urge Congress to hold the VA accountable for these veterans having to wait to receive their benefits."
PVA is advocating for critical issues that affect veterans with spinal cord injuries or diseases, such as MS or ALS, and all people with disabilities. Please view our 2020 policy priorities for more information.

Q: C: String Extraction from Pattern Match and Alternative Ways of String Termination? My question is two-fold:
I am using POSIX regular expressions and have a pretty good system set up to pattern match, and was working, but it's been very difficult dealing with C's low-level/difficult-to-use support for string operations, especially in the department of sub-string methods.  I know the following example isn't a vignette, so please bear with me, but I feel this section shows how I have set up the POSIX regular expression and how I am using it.  My primary question, how do I extract the string from POSIX for each pattern match and put inside a string/character array that I can safely use the normal C string functions such as those found here:  http://faculty.edcc.edu/paul.bladek/c_string_functions.htm?  It seems that I can get the string from the pattern matching internal struct, but C just dies every time I do what I feel are normal substring operations on the pattern match.
The following example shows code that has worked before, but up until i decided to change the variable "result" from an array to (char *) (you can see the old way commented out) and try to use C's memory allocation methods to do this right.  You can see in the output how far it gets, the variable "result" comes out correct, but then the program crashes at the IF comparison when I use strstr(...) for reasons I can't ascertain.
My last question, what is the best way to NULL terminate a (char *)?  Apparently, the way I am doing it below may be an issue.
Code:  (note, "storage" is a character array of a large size containing text that the pattern matching is being conducted upon)
regex_t r;  // stores regex
regmatch_t m[50];  // stores parts of file-string that matched the regex
const char * p = storage; // pointer to string that will be read in by regexec(...)
char matches[tracker][BUFFSIZE]; // 2D array containing a collection of strings
int ind = 0;  // indexing variable "matches" array
printf("### Collecting Pattern Matches ###\n");
int regExErr1 = regcomp(&r, "<[^<>]+=[[:space:]]*\"[^\"]+\"", REG_EXTENDED|REG_NEWLINE);
if( regExErr1 ){
    fprintf(stderr, "Fail to compile regex!\n");
    exit(1);
}
while(1){
    regExErr1 = regexec(&r, p, 10, m, 0);
    if( regExErr1 != 0 ){
        fprintf(stderr, "Done finding URL pattern matches...\n");
        break;
    }
    int i = 0;
    while(1){
        if(m[i].rm_so == -1){
            break;
        }
        printf("entering loop at index %i\n", i);
        int start = m[i].rm_so;
        int finish = m[i].rm_eo;
        //char result[(finish - start)];
        char * result = (char *) malloc(strcspn(strstr(p + start, "<"), ">"));
        //strcpy(result, strstr(("%.*s\n", (finish - start), p + start), "<"));
        strcpy(result,("%.*s\n", strcspn((p+ start), ">"), strstr(p + start, "<")));
        result[strcspn(result, ">")+1] = 0;
        printf("LOOKING AT:  %s\n", result);
        if(strstr(result, "href") != NULL || strstr(result, "HREF") != NULL || strstr(result, "src") != NULL){
            printf("## CONSIDERING:  %s\n", result);
            if(strstr(result, "http:") == NULL && strstr(result, "mailto") == NULL){
                printf("Pattern is a relative URL.\n");
                strcpy(result, strstr(result, "\"") + 1);
                result[strcspn(result, "\"")] = 0;
                strcpy(result, relativePathCondense(result, "."));
                strcpy(matches[ind], base);
                strcat(matches[ind], result);
                matches[ind][(strlen(base) + strlen(result))] = 0; // NULL terminate the string match in the collection
                printf("Stored %i ==  %s\n", ind, matches[ind]);
                ...
                ind++; // update the counter to the 2D record array "matches"
            }else if(strstr(result, "http:") != NULL || strstr(result, "mailto:") != NULL){
                printf("Pattern is an absolute URL.\n");
                strcpy(result, strstr(result, "\"") + 1);
                result[strcspn(result, "\"")] = 0;
                printf("Trimmed expression is %s\n", result);
                strcpy(matches[ind], result);
                matches[ind][strlen(result)] = 0; // NULL terminate the string match in the collection
                printf("Stored %i ==  %s\n", ind, matches[ind]);
                ...
                ind++;
            }
        }
        i++;
    }
    p += m[0].rm_eo; // this will move the pointer p to the end of last matched pattern and on to the start of a new one
}

OUTPUT:
### Collecting URL's from stored HTML source document! ###
entering loop at index 0
LOOKING AT:  <BODY BGCOLOR = "#FFFFF0">
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

A:     strcpy(result,("%.*s\n", strcspn((p+ start), ">"), strstr(p + start, "<")));

This does not do what you think...  The expression ("%.*s\n", ... is just a use of the comma operator expr, expr which evaluates both expressions but has the value of the right-hand expr.  I think you meant to use sprintf here.
(Also without counting too closely you might be mallocing one byte too few.  The usual idiom would be strlen(s) + 1 but I'd have to think deeper about your strspn)

Kylie Shoemake finishes her golfing career at Valparaiso University in front of a local population.
Shoemake, a senior from Lake Central, will lead the Crusaders at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. On Monday and Tuesday, only two rounds were held at Sand Creek Country Club. The scheduled opening round on Sunday was postponed due to bad weather.
This is the first time that Valparaiso has hosted a conference tournament in any sport in the Missouri Valley, and it was the first time that the women's golf program ever hosted a conference tournament, said sports information deputy director Brandon Vickrey.
Shoemake, golfer no. 1 of the Crusaders, plays in their last event.
"I'm really excited to be hosting the conference," she said. "I am sad that it has an end for me."
Tiffany Curtis, a junior from Crown Point, likes to play in a place she knows.
"I'm really excited that we can play in the area," Curtis said. "It should be fun."
Valparaiso coach Jill McCoy is also excited about hosting the tournament.
She may be more excited that the program can finally practice on her home course after the tournament.
The Crusaders moved from this school year their home school from The Course in Aberdeen to Sand Creek.
Tiffany Curtis of Valparaiso University pushes her golf cart during a round at the Fallour Preview of the Missouri Vallely Conference at the Sand Creek Country Club.
However, the crusaders were banned from playing the course for a year before a tournament because the conference did not want to give them an unfair advantage.
Sand Creek has the best practice facilities in the area as well as three 9-hole courses. McCoy said the game should have a long term impact on the program.
"We just have so much more space," McCoy said.
Valparaiso played at Sand Creek in the three-day MVC Fall Preview Tournament and finished ninth of nine teams. The winner of the conference tournament goes to the NCAA Regional.
The state of Missouri is the favorite to win. The Bears won the Preview Tournament with two strokes over the state of Illinois.
McCoy said that being close to home should help her team.
"You will not be afraid to travel," McCoy said.
McCoy has had her team practice putting and chipping in preparation for the tournament.
She said the Crusaders are not in a realistic position to win, but they would like to move up from their last place in the preview.
The forecast is for windy and cold weather.
"We worked a lot on our short game," McCoy said. "We know that we will not hit all the greens. We have to take our hits when they come. We will do bogeys. We just do not want to post big numbers. "

The Milliken Medal of Quality
On October 15th, I was presented the Milliken Medal of Quality by South Carolina Governor, Nikki Haley on behalf of the South Carolina Quality Forum. In light of the new year, a summary of my comments about Roger Milliken are below.
The Milliken Medal of Quality: Reflections on a Leadership Legacy
From our earliest years, accolades can motivate us. Whether it's a little league trophy or straight A's on a report card, recognition can fuel us to achieve more, to work harder. However, not all awards are created equal, and the ones hardest to achieve often mean the most to us. The Milliken Medal of Quality Award from South Carolina Quality Forum would certainly fit that category.
Being named as the 2014 recipient last week was an honor for me and a truly humbling experience. It led me to think about everything the award represents. I think every winner since Roger Milliken has felt "unworthy" for such a recognition, as I am today. In my 40-year career with Milliken, I have had the distinct privilege of working very closed with Roger Milliken. His passion and energy will be forever unmatched.
Roger Milliken was fiercely protective about the use of his name. You won't find it plastered all over stadiums, hospitals, or high rises. The SC Quality Forum must feel honored that he respected this organization enough to grant it permission. There is only one instance I am aware of his name being used, and that is on the Milliken Science Building at Wofford College in Spartanburg.
Mr. Milliken served as a Trustee of Wofford for 55 years. In 2001, the college started construction on a new science building. During the planning of this building, Mr. Milliken missed one Board of Trustees meeting. He found out, much to his dismay, it was during this meeting that the Board had voted to call new facility "The Milliken Science Building." When Mr. Milliken asked that his name not be used on the building, the Chairman of the Board explained, "Mr. Milliken we did not name the building after you – we named it after your parents!"
Roger Milliken held strong beliefs about how to run a quality-focused organization, yet at the same time was dedicated to continuous learning. To him there was no saturation point when it came to new ideas and improving. He sought out knowledge everywhere. For example, when he learned that he would be receiving the Medal of Quality Award in 1997, he arrived early for the conference, sat in most of the morning workshops taking notes, and looked more like a new manager than a veteran industry leader.
His behavior was different enough to get a reporter from the State newspaper curious. When asked why he did this, Mr. Milliken replied simply, "There is no monopoly on ideas." I believe this is still true today.
Roger Milliken also believed, "Never aim to be the biggest. Aim to be the best." Why? Because when you strive to be the best, the bigger things to take care of themselves. What does it take to be the best? Not big thinking, but detailed thinking.
He once told me, "Everyone thinks the 'devil' is in the details. It is just the opposite." His belief was that in those details were where you would find the "light," the clarity and discovery that can only come by examining an opportunity closely and from all angles. When you immerse yourself in the details of a problem, you find yourself committed to becoming part of the answer.
Our Quality Journey at Milliken & Company started with Roger Milliken realizing he couldn't do it alone. This is a startling admission for any company president or CEO who is used to doing it alone and being successful at it. In order to journey forward, we at Milliken had to engage not just the hands, but the hearts and minds of every single employee in the company. How do you do this, though, in a culture where hourly associates weren't even acknowledged as whole persons but were literally called "hands?"
Shortly thereafter, in a major corporate meeting, Roger Milliken asked to stop the meeting to make an announcement. He took a chair onto the stage, stood on it, and raised his right hand, and said:
"I will Listen.
I will not shoot the Messenger.
Management is the Problem."
At this meeting, we had with us the famous business author, Tom Peters, who had encouraged Mr. Milliken to commit to changing the company culture and his personal management style in a symbolic way that would be remembered for years. And he did. Roger Milliken not only told the room of managers that they needed to change, but he had to change, as well.
He always believed good jobs create a strong middle class and a strong middle class is the foundation of our country. He fought not only to protect jobs in Milliken & Company, but also to make those jobs and our associates better. Everyone in the organization evolved from simple hands into valued problem solvers.
What we discovered at Milliken, and also in other organizations we work with, is people want more than a paycheck. They want to be involved, they want to be heard, they want their ideas implemented, and they want to be thanked and recognized in a timely and sincere way.
It's really that simple. It's just hard to do.
At Milliken, we also believe people need the context of a well thought out system on how to do their work in order to free up the resources to be proactive problem solvers.
Taiichi Ohno, founder the Toyota Production System said, "It is a system that says there is no limit to people's creativity. People do not go to Toyota to 'work.' They go there to 'think.'"
We believe the same is true at Milliken and in other organizations that value and commit to excellence.
Tom Peters once said, "Excellence is not an aspiration. Excellence is the next five minutes." One of Roger Milliken's favorite sayings was, "The largest room in the world is the room for improvement." My personal favorite is, "Operations don't fail, organizations do."
In 2002, The American Society for Quality bestowed on Mr. Milliken its highest individual award, The Juran Medal of Quality. I was the Vice President of Quality at that time, and he asked me to go with him as he accepted the award in front of 3,000 people in Kansas City.
True to form, Mr. Milliken worked the room nonstop, talking to as many people as he could. I think he learned something from just about everyone there on what they were doing in pursuit of quality. After the ceremony, we rode around Kansas City studying their trees, which was a lifelong hobby of his.
When we returned to Spartanburg, he was getting out of my car with his new award and said to me, "Craig, you know I did not go to Kansas City to win an award. I went to learn something new."
So, for me and all award winners before me, we need to be mindful of the great opportunity the South Carolina Quality Forum has given us, to make ourselves better, our organizations better and the State of South Carolina.

Nvidia Shield: Hands-On With A Tegra 4-Based Handheld
By Chris Angelini published 22 January 13
Our first stop at this year's CES was Nvidia's suite in the Palms, where company representatives showed off pre-production versions of its Shield handheld. Chris Angelini weighs in with some of the specifics, plus his impressions of Nvidia's effort.
PC Gaming And The Shield's Secret Weapon
Page 1: Nvidia Shield: Presenting The Turn
Page 2: PC Gaming And The Shield's Secret Weapon
Page 3: Tegra 4 And Shield's Future: The Prestige
Hands-On: PC Gaming
During my time with the Shield, streaming Call of Duty: Black Ops II went off without a hitch. The environment was completely controlled, though—router and clients in the same room, gaming exclusively on the 5" screen, and no television set up for output.
That was actually a fairly big deal. Graphics quality on a 5" 720p display looks good enough when there's not much room to discern "good enough" from "wow, is that native?" But when you blow the picture up on a 55" screen at 1080p from 10 feet away…well, that's going to be telling indeed.
Compared to my first experiences with OnLive, though, playing PC games on the Shield was a more refined experience. Again, on a 5" screen, it's difficult to judge image quality. But the output looked good. More important, I wasn't able to perceive the latency like I did using OnLive. And because you're accessing your Steam library, there is no paying $50 or $60 for unlimited access to a title you can't actually download. I hated that.
At the end of the day, the biggest issue I have with Shield's PC gaming capability is trying to play a title like Call of Duty or Battlefield 3 using joystick controls. But like I already said, I'm not a console gamer, so that's just me. If you're more comfortable using a game controller, you're probably wondering how it's even possible to navigate through PC titles on the Shield. And the answer is Nvidia employs its GeForce Experience software to map inputs on a per-game basis to the Shield's various buttons, pad, and joysticks.
Big Battery Capacity
Let's say Nvidia pulls it off—the company makes it possible to play PC games on its Shield and on a television, using the Shield as a controller, without significant latency or image quality degradation. What then?
Well, for playing PC games, specifically, it'll have a pretty big deal on its hands. The fact that it's simply decoding a video stream means the array of Li-ion batteries adding up to 38 Wh of capacity should last a very long time. Jen-Hsun claimed 24 hours of video playback up on stage, which the math suggests is at least a huge challenge (that'd be less than 1.6 W of total platform power). I'll happily stand corrected if Nvidia's engineers pull off a full day of video playback. After all, they're preliminarily estimating 1 W of power just sitting idle.
It's notable that the company is using 18650 rechargeable Li-ion batteries—the same ones Tesla uses in the Roadster. Nvidia says that when it comes to Wh/dollar, the 18650s are always going to be the least expensive option thanks to high production volume and density. That's why the Shield is able to offer so much capacity compared to, say, the Li-ion pouch batteries you find in tablets, which typically offer lower specific energy.
Less interesting to me is playing Android-based games. If that's your thing though, Nvidia says to expect between five and 10 hours of gameplay, corresponding to 7.6 and 3.8 W of consumption. Games optimized for Tegra 4's graphics resources are expected to exact higher power demands than those originally written for Tegra 2- or 3-based devices.

India will on Friday get its first official indication of the impact of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's war on cash on the larger economy.
The country's statistics ministry will release its estimate of growth in gross domestic product for the current fiscal year and analysts will be watching to see if it can maintain its 7.6% rate despite the severe cash shortage sparked by the Nov. 8 move to cancel about 86% of the country's bank notes.
Critics of the decision say it has caused hardship, particularly in villages and small towns where the new notes haven't been so readily available and facilities for digital transactions are few.
The forecast will show whether India can keep its coveted position as the world's fastest-growing major economy, a status that some economists say India could lose to its neighbor China, which is projected to grow between 6.5% and 7% in 2016.
Siddhartha Sanyal, chief India economist at Barclays, said that the move could result in a reduction in the growth rate of of between 0.5 and one percentage point for this fiscal year. Before the cash crunch, the bank predicted that India's economy would grow 7.5% in the same period.
The real-estate sector is expected to be among the worst hit, as a large portion of such transactions for property take place in cash. Related sectors such as construction and steel as well as cement, are also expected to be hurt.
Other recent data have already hinted at a slowdown.
India's infrastructure output data earlier this week showed a significant weakening in cement and steel production growth. Activity at manufacturing and services companies also contracted in December, according to private surveys released this week.
Still, it is uncertain how deep the slowdown will turn out to have been.
"While there are downside risks to a lot of numbers like construction and manufacturing, some other numbers like banking and financial services might spring an upside surprise," Mr. Sanyal of Barclays said.
Deposits have shot up as Indians have rushed to put old currency in accounts, providing banks with more money to lend.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said last week that sowing of winter crops–which takes place between October and January–rose 6.3% from a year earlier, indicating that concerns about farmers being hurt by the cash crunch are exaggerated.
Some economists caution the forecast is unlikely to be accurate as a significant part of the economy is unorganized, making it difficult to assess how badly small businesses have been affected.
Further, any benefits of increased tax revenue as a result of the crackdown on tax evaders will take time to show, said Sujan Hajra, chief economist at Anand Rathi Securities.


Could Tate Langdon meet Fiona Goode, Cordelia Foxx, or Misty Day?
Earlier this year American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy promised he wouldn't repeat the mysterious Season 6 approach to themes. Going forward, fans will always know what they're getting into in advance. Murphy is already making good on his promise. At Entertainment Weekly's PopFest on Sunday, he revealed that an upcoming season of American Horror Story will re-visit two popular themes: Murder House (Season 1) and Coven (Season 3) for a jam-packed cross-over event.
And since Murphy has proven he's not shy about one actor playing multiple characters in any given season (think Sarah Paulson as both Hypodermic Sally and Billie Dean Howard in Season 5), the cast combination possibilities here are endless. Murphy did not guarantee anything, but I think we all have our fingers crossed for Evan Peters to reprise his role as Tate Langdon. And what, really, would be the point of doing Murder House and Coven without at least one Jessica Lange character?
The biggest sticking point, of course, will be the rule of Season 1 which is that all the ghosts in the Murder House are physically stuck to the confines of the property with the exception of Halloween night when they get to roam free. Then again, if anyone can free some ghosts from their earthly Angeleno prison, it's a coven of witches.

Do you wish to remove the appearance of unsightly facial wrinkles and lines from your skin? If so, Xeomin® injectable fillers may be right for you. Xeomin® is a popular new treatment specially formulated to combat the effects of aging in healthy men and women. Located in Carmel and Greenwood, Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery, led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Mark M. Hamilton, MD, FACS, offers Xeomin® to men and women who live in and around Indianapolis, IN.
Xeomin®, like other brand name neurotoxins such as Botox® and Dysport®, is used to soften facial wrinkles. Like Botox®, it can be used to relax frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and other wrinkles caused by facial expressions. The main difference between it and the other neurotoxins is its unique formulation (explained below), which is touted to prevent the possibility of decreased effectiveness with long-term use.
Facial expressions are caused by the contraction and retraction of facial muscles. With time, these contractions can form frown lines and other facial wrinkles as a result of aged skin. Once Xeomin® has been injected, it will block the chemical reactions necessary to cause the contractions, effectively softening facial lines.
The FDA has approved Xeomin® as it has proven to result in the same success as Botox®. In clinical trials, Xeomin® was injected into the same muscles that Botox® is used to treat wrinkles and aging effects. Xeomin® was just as, if not more successful in treating and softening these facial anomalies.
At Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, Xeomin® is injected by a syringe into the glabellar muscles in-between both eyebrows. The effects occur within one week of the procedure and the results will usually last between three and six months. Once again, comparable to Botox® in both onset and total duration of action.
Xeomin®, like any other neurotoxin, can cause a spur in production of antibodies. This is due to the body's immune system recognizing the Xeomin® as a foreign invader. In some cases, this can prevent the neurotoxin from having its intended effects. However, Xeomin® has an advantage over this risk because it uses no additives, only incobotulinumtoxinA. Therefore, there is a reduced chance of antibodies blocking the reactions necessary for a successful injection, compared to Botox® and similar toxins.
Most Xeomin® candidates suffer from the aforementioned presence of frown lines. Other ailments treatable by this injection are cervical dystonia (spastic twists of the head and neck) and blepharospasm (an uncontrollable twitching of the eyelids). Xeomin® could be considered a possible alternative for someone who may have a conscious or medical problem with Botox®. Its effects are nearly analogous. However, many medical professionals argue that it is safer than Botox® and carries less risks in both immediate and long-term effects.
Xeomin®, although comparable to Botox®, will typically last less in effect. It is recommended for use as an alternative or supporting act. However, many patients do prefer Xeomin® to other treatments. If you believe you are a good candidate and wish to know more, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Hamilton at Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis and be prepared to ask questions and convey any concerns you may have over the procedure.
A typical Xeomin® procedure will last about 30 minutes. Depending on the person, more or less time will be consumed in preparation of the area. It's rare an injection procedure will last more than half-an-hour, however. This timeframe is comparable to most other cosmetic injections of the face.
It is common to experience swelling and reddening of the injection site after the procedure. In much less likely circumstances, short-term visual impairment may occur.
In terms of effects, you can expect a good week to pass without noticing any difference in the prominence of frown lines. As stated earlier, results usually last between three and six months. Depending on your case, more time may be allowed to pass between injections, as overusing Xeomin® can diminish its properties.
It is required that you remain upright for the first hour after injection. This is intended to keep the Xeomin® in place and prevent it from "running" or "pulling" on non-desired areas.
It is recommended that you actively use the muscles treated after injection. Frowning, raising and lowering eyebrows and moving crow's feet are all helpful and suggested actions to take on your part after the procedure.
If you wish to wear makeup after treatment, please be sure to apply it upwards on your forehead and downwards on your crow's feet.
You may also consider taking arnica tablets or bromelain afterwards. This can help to reduce bruising and unsightly, temporary discoloration of the injection site. If you choose arnica, be sure to take a tablet before and after treatment. For bromelain, take two dosages of 500 mg, twice a day, for at least three days afterwards.
In almost all cases, the patient is able to return to work on the same or following day of treatment. Strategically applied makeup will help to reduce any visible redness or bruising in the area.
How Much Does Xeomin® Cost in Indianapolis?
The cost of Xeomin® is comparable to most Botox® and Dysport® treatments. In many cases, the cost may be slightly less than these or other treatments. We offer financing and accept cash, checks and major credit cards.
Xeomin® has helped many Indianapolis area residents achieve a smoother, rejuvenated facial appearance. To learn more about this treatment, contact Hamilton Facial Plastic Surgery today for your consultation at either our Carmel or Greenwood office.


Simply put, leadership development is an effort (hopefully, planned in nature) that enhances the learner's capacity to lead people. Very simply put, leading is setting direction and guiding others to follow that direction. A critical skill for leaders is the ability to manage their own learning.
As designed, the implementation of ASPIRA's Youth Development Program (YDP) will be made through the Aspira Clubs.

Q: Spring Data JPA : not persisting parent relation column mapping Currently I am following this URL  & implemented the similar kind of code at my end.
But it gives an error at my end something likewise,
null value in column "file_id" violates not-null constraint

Here, category_id is one of my parent_entities primary key.
Following lines where parent entity I am passing properly & checked through Debug,
EntityManager entityManager = BeanUtil.getBean(EntityManager.class);
entityManager.persist(new FileHistory(target, action));

UPDATE -
Here, instead of the following config,
 @ManyToOne
 @JoinColumn(name = "file_id", foreignKey = @ForeignKey(name = "FK_file_history_file"))

I've used,
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "file_id")

Also, I used @PostPersist instead of @PrePersist these are the changes only I did against this article.

Q: Can't use Django's get_absolute_url in dictionary of dictionaries? I'm having some trouble using get_absolute_url in a template. It seems to work fine if I just pass in one of my store objects and say {{ store.get_absolute_url }}, but if I have to iterate through a dictionary of stores and then use the get_absolute_url function, it returns nothing. Exactly what I'm doing is below:
  class Store(EthicalObject):
            type = "Store"
            name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
            company = models.ForeignKey(Company, verbose_name="Company", null=True, blank=True)
            location = models.OneToOneField(Location, verbose_name="Location", null=True, blank=True)
            products = models.ManyToManyField('Product', related_name="%(class)s_related", db_table=u'ethicsdb_products_to_stores', blank=True)
            companies = models.ManyToManyField('Company', related_name="%(class)s_related", db_table=u'ethicsdb_companies_to_stores', blank=True)

            def get_absolute_url(self):
                    return ('store_details', [str(self.id)])

            get_absolute_url = models.permalink(get_absolute_url)

This works:
views.py:
def fetch_sidebar_data(shop_object):
        sidebar_modules = {}

        if shop_object.content_type.name == 'company':
                sidebar_modules['related_stores'] = shop_object.stores.all()
                sidebar_modules['related_products'] = shop_object.products.all()

        if shop_object.content_type.name == 'store':
                sidebar_modules['related_companies'] = shop_object.companies.all()
                sidebar_modules['related_products'] = shop_object.products.all()

        if shop_object.content_type.name == 'product':
                sidebar_modules['related_stores'] = shop_object.stores.all()
                sidebar_modules['related_companies'] = shop_object.companies.all()

        sidebar_modules['tags'] = shop_object.tags

        return sidebar_modules['related_stores'][1]

def company_details(request, company_id):
        company = get_object_or_404(Company, id=company_id)

        sidebar_modules = fetch_sidebar_data(company)

        return render_to_response('company/details.html', {'company': company, 'sidebar_modules': sidebar_modules}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

template:

{% extends "base-onecol.html" %}

{% block page_div_extra_attr %}class="twocol"{% endblock %}

{% block sidebar_content %}

{{ sidebar_modules.name }}{{sidebar_modules.get_absolute_url }}

{% endblock %}

This doesn't work:
views.py:
def fetch_sidebar_data(shop_object):
        sidebar_modules = {}

        if shop_object.content_type.name == 'company':
                sidebar_modules['related_stores'] = shop_object.stores.all()
                sidebar_modules['related_products'] = shop_object.products.all()

    if shop_object.content_type.name == 'store':
            sidebar_modules['related_companies'] = shop_object.companies.all()
            sidebar_modules['related_products'] = shop_object.products.all()

    if shop_object.content_type.name == 'product':
            sidebar_modules['related_stores'] = shop_object.stores.all()
            sidebar_modules['related_companies'] = shop_object.companies.all()

    sidebar_modules['tags'] = shop_object.tags

    return sidebar_modules

template:

{% extends "base-onecol.html" %}

{% block page_div_extra_attr %}class="twocol"{% endblock %}

{% block sidebar_content %}

        {% for module_name,module in sidebar_modules.items %}
                {% ifequal module_name "related_stores" %}

Sold Here

                        {% for related_store in module.values %}
                                {{ related_store.name }}

                        {% endfor %}
                {% endifequal %}

                {% ifequal module_name "related_products" %}

Buy Local

                        {{ module }}

                {% endifequal %}

                {% ifequal module_name "related_companies" %}

                        {{ module }}

                {% endifequal %}

                {% ifequal module_name "tags" %}
                        {{ module }}

                {% endifequal %}

        {% endfor %}

{% endblock %}

In the second one, I just get no return from get_absolute_url.  I know it's working in other places when I print it out. Is this a Django bug, the inability to use get_absolute_url in a dictionary of dictionaries?

A: Wow, that was a rather convoluted question.
Your problem is here: {% for related_store in module.values %}
module is a QuerySet. .values is calling the QuerySet method which returns a dictionary containing the field values for each row. A dictionary has no get_absolute_url attribute, and get_absolute_url isn't a field in the model.
Just use {% for related_store in module %} and you'll be dealing with actual model instances rather than dictionaries, which means {{ related_store.get_absolute_url }} will work fine.

Eleições do Cacete é como ficaram conhecidas as eleições realizadas no Brasil em 1840.
D. Pedro II, que já era imperador mesmo tendo apenas 14 anos de idade, escolheu políticos (a partir de violência) liberais e áulicos para compor seu primeiro ministério e convocou novas eleições para escolher os membros da Câmara.

A facção áulica sugeriu a dissolução do Gabinete da Maioridade, em face de tensões internas no Executivo. O Imperador acatou o conselho áulico e destitui o Gabinete, em 1841.

O retorno dos regressistas, já nomeados de conservadores, leva os liberais às revoltas de 1842.
