A skin graft surgery is the removal of healthy skin from one area of the body to be used in another area. It is done to replace skin that has been severely damaged. The skin grafts are most often taken from the side of the thigh, buttocks, below the collarbone, near the ear, or the upper arm.
These other sources are only meant for temporary use. They can help protect the area until your own skin grows back.
Restore skin removed during surgery. Examples include: treatment for skin cancer , tumor removal, or after serious skin infection.
Successful transplanted skin will attach and grow in the new area. The appearance of the skin will vary. The type of skin graft used and the area it was needed will play a role in the cosmetic outcome.
The wound will be cleaned.
The wound will be measured. A pattern of the wound will be traced and outlined over the donor site. The donor tissue will be removed with a scalpel or special harvesting machine.
There are three main types of skin graft techniques. Your doctor will talk about the benefits and risks of options for you.
Split-thickness graft —The doctor will remove the top and middle layer of skin. This type of graft allows the area to heal more quickly. There may be color differences in this type of graft. Multiple holes are placed in the graft. This can give it a mesh appearance. The mesh allows fluid to leak out from the tissue under the graft. The meshed skin will be able to spread out over a much larger area of injury.
Full-thickness graft —The doctor will remove and transfer of the entire thickness of the skin. Stitches are often needed at the donor site. The final outcome is usually better. This method is often used for areas where cosmetic outcome is important, such as the face. The use of full-thickness skin grafts is limited by size and donation area. It would be hard to close a large donation area with stitches.
Composite grafts —The doctor will remove a combination of skin and fat, skin and cartilage, or the middle layer of skin and fat. It is used in areas that need complex structure, such as the nose. These types of grafts are often removed from the ear.
The graft will be placed on the damaged site. It will be attached with stitches or staples.
A pressure bandage will be applied over the area. A wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) may be placed for the first 3-5 days. This device has suction and helps to control drainage from the wound. New blood vessels begin to grow into the wound within the first 48 hours. New cells will grow from the graft. Over time the new growth will cover the damaged area with new skin.
A split-thickness graft is fastened to the damaged site.
This varies according to your specific needs. The size of the graft and injury will play a role in the length of the surgery.
Removing skin grafts can be painful. Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medicine.
The hospital stay will depend on your needs. For example, a burn or accident may need a longer stay.
Keep the areas clean and dry.
Avoid all trauma to the sites.
Avoid periods of prolonged sunlight in area of new skin.
Check the site for healing and good blood flow. There should be a healthy pink color in the skin.
Follow instructions for bandaging. This will help to support the area while it heals. It will also help to prevent intense tightening of the skin called contractures .

The Music of Alec Wilder: Some Personal Reflections
I first met Alec Wilder in the spring of 1974, several months after joining the faculty of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. During the latter part of his life Alec divided most of his time between residences at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City and the One-Eleven Hotel in Rochester, the latter of which was just around the corner from the Eastman School. When I began visiting the local jazz clubs in Rochester, which in those days included The Rowntowner and The Top of the Plaza, I noticed that Alec was often in the audience. He was especially faithful in coming out to hear musicians whose music he considered special, including Marian McPartland, Jimmy Rowles, Gene Bertoncini and Dave McKenna, among others. As I became more active with my own groups, or as a sideman with visiting name jazz artists, I got to know Alec through informal chats between sets or after hours.
After we got better acquainted, we would often see each other on chance occasions at a small but popular diner right next to the Eastman School. Alec was an extraordinarily interesting conversationalist, who was well read in all of the arts, politics, history, philosophy and probably many topics which, much to my regret, we never got around to discussing. One of many fascinating books which he introduced me to was The Painted Word, by Tom Wolfe, a brilliant and witty brief history and critique of the twentieth century visual art scene. He had great respect for good, honest craftsmanship in any field of endeavor, and a healthy suspicion of "Art," especially in any context which smacked of the slightest elitism.
Alec was, as Duke Ellington would have said, beyond category. He wrote music which other people put in the various categories of popular songs, chamber music, art songs, symphonic works, and even children�s songbooks (Night Songs and Lullabies, a collaboration with lyricist William Engvick and illustrator Maurice Sendak). I was fortunate, indeed, to have had the opportunity to play many of Alec�s songs in his presence, as well as his Bassoon Sonata #3, his Saxophone Sonata and eight of his octets. These octets, written in 1939 and 1940, are unique mixtures of classical, pop and jazz vocabulary, featuring the unusual instrumentation of flute, oboe, two clarinets, bassoon, harpsichord, bass and drums. They foreshadowed the more recent popularization of classical and jazz "fusion" by several decades. They also personify Alec�s constant predicament in relation to the music business; his musical stance was too disciplined for the jazz world and too stylistically open for the highbrow world of "serious music."
Alec was extremely opinionated, but his opinions were never arbitrary or capricious. They resulted from a combination of deep reflection, personal knowledge or experience and, usually, inarguable logic. He had unbounded admiration for the musical creativity of jazz musicians. He was sincerely flattered that accomplished jazz artists would choose his songs as vehicles for their improvisations. He was certain that the general public is quite incapable of appreciating "the miraculous chain of events which occur when a jazz musician plays." On the other hand, he was deeply disturbed by the presumption of jazz musicians in changing the notes of other people�s melodies before the improvisation had begun. He knew that, more often than not, this practice resulted more from the feeling of being a "kid in a candy store" than from intentional rudeness or disrespect. But I do know, personally, that Alec often took the trouble to phone or write musicians who had performed his melodies as he had composed them, just to thank them for their kind consideration of his musical intentions.
Alec is one of the few musicians I have known, whose entire musical output had absolute integrity. His book, The American Popular Song, in collaboration with James T. Maher, is the definitive analytical work on this musical genre. Typical of Alec�s genuine humility, he included no examples of his own work.
I first met Vic Juris during the early 1980�s, while working with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Bill Goodwin. Vic is one of the most creative and musical guitarists I have heard, and I am delighted that he has put together an imaginative and broadly representative collection of songs by one of America�s great songwriters.
Apart from the fact that Vic assembled a stellar group of musicians for this project, there are two aspects which immediately caught my attention. First, the tunes are relatively short, which allows for both musical conciseness and a large and varied selection of material. This was all the more important in the case of Alec Wilder, whose best known songs are still, unfortunately, largely unknown. Second, Vic has utilized all the possibilities of instrumental combinations from a guitar and drums duo to the full quintet instrumentation. This creative use of orchestration extends to dividing the statements of some of the melodies between two or more solo instruments, and using the full range from harmonic and contrapuntal textures to ensemble unison. In other words, Vic was well prepared, and the results show it.
Since I felt like I knew Alec�s music fairly well in advance, I was quite impressed that Vic found three great songs which I had never heard before, "Inner Circle" (inspired by pianist Marian McPartland), "A Long Night" (whose rubato treatment here results in particular dramatic pathos) and "Homework" (whose typical AABA form contains a quite atypical five measure bridge). Some of the more familiar songs are presented in unusual treatments. The up-tempo guitar and drums version of "Such A Lonely Girl Am I," the fast Latin tempo which, in effect, doubles the form of "The Winter Of My Discontent," and the brisk version of "Where Is The One," with sixteen measure exchanges between Dave Liebman�s soprano saxophone and Tim Hagans� trumpet shifting back and forth between the original key of Eb and key of C, are obvious examples. Alec actually wrote the lyric to "Where Is The One," with music by Edwin Finckel.
The musicianship is world class throughout. Bassist Steve Laspina and drummer Jeff Hirshfield offer convincing swing, confident support, creative interaction and strong solos throughout. Tim Hagans is one of the most commanding jazz trumpet soloists to emerge during the last decade. David Liebman is, simply, one of the most creative improvisers in jazz today. The rare tenor performances are an extra treat. The empathy between Hagans and Liebman is particularly in evidence on "A Long Night." Vic�s soloing on every tune here is, to my ears, a perfect balance of heartfelt lyricism and thoughtful thematic development. His accompaniments are unusually varied, including single line counterpoint, chords of every texture from thin to thick, and the courage to lay out entirely from time to time, ensuring that the music has the maximum potential for change of direction.
Some people considered Alec Wilder to be gruff or old fashioned, simply because he was uncompromising and refused to lower his standards for commercial concessions. He was very skeptical of the idea of "progress," but never tired in his striving for quality. Since his death in 1980, I have often missed our conversations. The world could certainly use more souls like his. I wish he could hear this recording. He might raise an eyebrow occasionally at the free-spirited treatment of some of his melodies, but he would be awed by the display of spontaneous musical creativity and interplay, and honored by the care and attention to musical detail which Vic and the group bring to their perspective of his work. Although there is much here that Alec would find well worth repeated listening, his favorite selection might be "That�s My Girl." Trumpet, guitar and bass, playing the melody in unison, exactly the way he wrote it!
- Bill Dobbins - October, 1996 -
Bill Dobbins is currently Principal Conductor of the WDR Big Band in Cologne, Germany. Between 1973 and 1994 he was on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music, where he taught in the Department of Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media.
This is an interesting collection of tunes by Alec Wilder, performed in an unusually adventursome groove. I think Alec would be intrigued and stimulated by Vic Juris's interpretations of some of his lesser know pieces - including two that he wrote for me, "Inner Circle" and "Homework".
I would like to thank: Mom & Dad, Denise, Ed Berg, Dave Liebman and Charlie Banacos for their inspiration. Special thanks to Kate Baker for the project idea and artist coordination.
Vic Juris

Gospels For The Sick
www.scumband.com
On a warm spring evening in 2002, a meeting took place in Norway. A group of people convened to discuss the possibility of making an album that would impact the music scene. One rehearsal took place later that same year and ideas and plans were thrown back and forth. However, due to prior commitments and time conflicts, the line up was forced to change. But the core of the group maintained the idea and finally, in the fall 2004, the decision was made to make it happen. SCUM was spawned!
SCUM is a unique project in many aspects; first and foremost its line up is probably one of the most interesting gatherings of people to record an album in a long time... Casey Chaos (Amen), Samoth (Zyklon, ex-Emperor), Faust (ex-Emperor), Cosmocrator (MindGrinder) and Happy Tom (Turbonegro).
Each member in this project is a leader, which makes everything much more powerful. You have the eccentric punk rocker Casey Chaos, Samoth and Faust appearing together on an album for the first time in over 10 years, denim stud-rocker Happy Tom and the fresh blood of Cosmocrator.
Before entering the renowned Crystal Canyon studio (Turbonegro/ We/ Euroboys etc.) in Oslo in September, Samoth, Faust and Cosmocrator had only a few rehearsals during which they tested out basic riffs and possible arrangements. However, the songs on the actual album ended up being entirely created and nailed down during the three week long studio session. This was essential to capture the raw and energetic atmosphere the band desired. Twelve tracks were recorded, ten of which are on this album. Guest appearances include Mortiis, Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone) and Knut "Euroboy" Schreider (Turbonegro/ Euroboys).
One of the basic thoughts behind Scum was to gather a group of musicians and friends who in many ways are well known in their respective scenes, but together – as a unit – come out as a constellation very rare in its own kind. The blueprint for the project was the spirit of Norwegian Black Metal mixed with a punk rock attitude. This was brought to life by the beliefs and perfect mistakes, some that you may or may not know, of all of its members. One of the challenges, when holding members from various bands and musical fields, is to maintain a clear vision of the project. The primary vision was to create an album unique in its own kind, created by innovators rather than followers. Call it death punk, black `n roll or whatever tag comes to mind. This is the spirit of a sincere respect for music and the spirit of lifelong dedication. This is an album of action and freedom. An unique alliance to address the state of affairs in music, and bring life to a dead and politically correct society. SCUM has just begun to spread its filth and disease to your infected culture! This is the Gospels for the Sick! Welcome onboard!
The League of Gentlemen:
Casey Chaos – Vocal
Samoth – Guitar
Cosmocrator – Guitar
Faust – Drums

Further thoughts on the Korean Grand Prix
Incredible driver, incredibly shunned
Sebastian Vettel won the Korean Grand Prix at a canter, but as far as most were concerned there was only one star of the show, and without intending disrespect it wasn't Seb. 'Why has Nico Hulkenberg not been snapped up by a top team?' was a common refrain during and after the Yeongam race. And so far as I can tell there isn't an answer.
Nico Hulkenberg has been impressing us in his F1 career
Photo: Octane Photography
The quality of the Hulk's run on Sunday was hardly new either as - after an iffy first half season at Williams in 2010 - he has impressed us pretty much constantly in his time at the sport's pinnacle, as well as he entered F1 with an exemplary junior formulae CV. His drive to fourth place in the Sauber in Korea was simply a reminder that he looks to be a driver good at everything: assured, confident, robust but fair when wheel-to-wheel, avoids errors, has an intelligence which he's able to apply in the cockpit (did you hear him after the race say that he was happy to let Hamilton pass him at turn one, as he knew Lewis would get marbles on his tyres and thus he'd be able to pass him back?). And most importantly of all he's very quick and consistently so.
The F1 drivers' market doesn't always make sense; this to a large extent is inevitable when you have a strictly limited number of available seats which each become vacant but sporadically. Being in the right place at the right time therefore can be vital. Some drivers have had to wait years for a path to open up to a drive worthy of their talent - such as Keke Rosberg (and in his case his belated step-up owed a lot to chance). By extension there will have been plenty of worthy pilots who never got the chance they deserved, many of whom we'd be utterly oblivious as to what they could have done.
Some are concerned that Hulkenberg will be the latest of these, what with Ferrari passing up its option on him and going for Raikkonen instead (perhaps swayed by Alonso's wandering eye) as well as McLaren's odd lack of interest.
Add in that, of course, money brought and other commercial potential is an increasing consideration alongside talent. Add in also that seemingly a driver's weight has become an issue for teams selecting who to go with next year - no joke, with the new rules the cars will be heavier, the weight limit by common claim isn't generous enough, and as a result it's thought that Hulk, as one of the taller and therefore heavier drivers, might miss out on these grounds. But any team passing Hulk up because of this are in my view guilty of being absurd, their conclusion rather akin to not buying the home of your dreams available at a knockdown price because you discover that the bathroom is a bit smaller than ideal. In other words, I find it hard to believe that this detail will have a serious negative impact on what Hulkenberg offers.
Nevertheless, perhaps in a development that shows that the drivers' market doesn't always get it wrong, the word on the Yeongam street was indeed that Hulk's overdue step-up, to Lotus for next year, is close to being a done deal. We can only hope that the rumours are right.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt has said that "Android adoption is about to explode," and that all the "necessary conditions" are set for growth.
Let me compare for minute the difference between say, the iPhone by Apple, and Android by Google. There's really not a comparison so to speak, but just so you get an understand of what's in the works here with Android.
Whereas Apple focuses on building a phone (the iPhone), Google focuses on building an operating system (Android) that a lot of phones can run on.
It's a lot like Windows operating system on computers. It doesn't matter if you buy a Dell, Gateway, Acer, or Toshiba, they are all going to be running a version a Windows – that's what Android is like to the mobile phone.
The power of Google Android is in the fact that it's "open source". This means that Google can offer Android to mobile phone makers, and their developers, and other independant programmers, can customize and enhance Android for each individual mobile device. Open source basically allows the community of users to make Android more productive and effective for everyone, based on what users want Android to do.
Again, we don't give the detail numbers. On a quarter over quarter basis, mobile searches grew 30% on Google. It tells you something about the mobile space, the smartphones, and how they are transformative. They are basically transforming how people live on a mobile basis. If we move forward the adoption of these mobile phones by lowering the cost because it is open source, think of how many searches [that will produce].
Clearly Google the future in mobile phones as nothing short of revolutionary. And if they can offer a default operating system that all mobile phone devices can use, then just like Windows, Android can basically have prime positioning on every cell phone in the world!
Can you hear the "monopoly" sabers rattling yet?

Walmart is a great place to find accessories for less...a lot less, and clothing items! The above graphic shows outfits with some of my favorite clothing and accessory items from Walmart over the last few months. The coral kimono (click here for outfit) might still be available in store or click here to find online. The grey sweater is something I wear again, and again and was only $8. The pom hat and scarf I wore all winter long! Walmart has really stepped up their game in the last few years, and here and there I manage to find pieces that really excite me! Plus, I feel like its a little reward for going grocery shopping which is one of my least favorite activities. I plan to share the things I pick up or just see that I think you might like at my local Walmart, so check back!....I go once a week at least, sigh.

For years, employers have faced a continuing stream of claims alleging that employees have been misclassified as exempt from overtime compensation rules. Most misclassification claims have involved the so-called "white collar" exemptions. Claims alleging misclassification under the inside sales exemption have received less attention than most other claims, but the inside sales exemption is not well understood by many employers, resulting in frequent misclassifications and potential liability.
Many employers erroneously assume that employees qualify for the exemption merely by engaging in sales from the employer's office. Under California law, however, the inside sales exemption is applicable only if (a) the employee earns more than 150% of the minimum wage, (b) more than 50% of the employee's compensation is derived from commissions, and (c) the employee works in the mercantile industry (covered by Wage Order 7) or in a professional, technical, clerical, mechanical or similar occupation (covered by Wage Order 4).

India warns of high oil prices hurting global recovery
India, the world's third-largest energy consumer and importer, on Wednesday warned of high oil prices hurting the nascent and fragile global economic recovery and floated an idea of long-term supply contracts that provide predictable and stable pricing.
Speaking at the India Energy Forum by CERAWeek, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said there was a mismatch between demand for oil and the supplies producers such as OPEC+ were making and there was a case for raising the production.
The world, he said, needs "predictable, stable and affordable" prices for it to recover back to pre-pandemic levels.
Oil secretary Tarun Kapoor said importing nations like India currently enter into a one-term contract to buy oil from OPEC nations such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
These contracts provide stability of only volume and the price is the one that prevails in the international market at the time of delivery.
"Much like gas contracts that are of up to 25 years duration and priced at some benchmark, oil too should have long-term contracts with pricing benchmarked at some alternate fuels such as coal or even gas," he said.
OPEC+, he said, should rise to the occasion and raise output to meet the expectations of its consumers.
Petrol and diesel prices in India have shot up to record highs across the country after relentless price increases since early May.
"Global economic recovery can be undermined if energy prices remain high.
"That is not only true for developing countries India but also other industrial democracies," Puri said.
"It is in everybody's interest that we sustain global economic recovery.
"And therefore it is in the interest of both the producing countries and the importing countries to have stable and affordable energy."
Energy, he said, is crucial to the revival of the global economy after the devastating pandemic.
High oil prices will slow down the recovery and as a consequence the demand.
"There is a direct co-relationship between the revival of economic activity with price," he said.
"I am sure our friends in OPEC+ will factor in the sentiments" of consuming nations.
"We look forwards both as a consumer and as a large economy, one whose energy requirements are only likely to grow, to energy transition being predictable and orderly," the minister said.
Puri was echoing the sentiments of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who said on Monday that the recent increase in prices should encourage oil-producing countries to ramp up output.
But it appeared the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, called OPEC+, would pay any heed to their largest customers.
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, also speaking at the CERAWeek event, lauded the cartel's excellent stewardship of the market, saying the OPEC+ approach to managing supply should be copied and pasted into other energy markets.
"If energy prices remain high, global economic recovery will be undermined," Puri said.
International oil prices had crashed to $19 per barrel in April last year as demand evaporated with most nations clamping lockdowns to control the spread of coronavirus.
The demand recovered this year as vaccination against the infection revived economies the world over.
International benchmark Brent crude has since rallied to over $84 per barrel.
This, he said, has made fuel expensive and stoked fears of inflation.
Puri said India's oil import bill has climbed from $8.8 billion in June 2020 quarter to $24 billion this year because of a spike in global oil prices.
"India believes energy access has to be reliable, affordable and sustainable," he said adding economic recovery after a devastating pandemic has been fragile and it is further being threatened by high prices.
India, which imports almost two-thirds of its oil needs from West Asia, has told crude oil producers, including the OPEC, that high oil prices will hasten the transition to alternate fuels and such rates will be counter-productive for the producers.
Puri has in recent weeks flagged the issue of high oil prices to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, the US, Russia and Bahrain.
He conveyed India's strong preference on responsible and reasonable pricing, which is mutually beneficial for consumers and producers.
"I have been meeting my counterparts from the producing nations to drive home the point," Puri said adding volatility in international prices is not just hurting India but also industrialised nations.
While the world has begun the transition towards cleaner fuels such as electric-powered vehicles and hydrogen, most nations are still dependent on oil to fuel their economies. And high oil prices will hurt demand recovery.
India is 85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its oil needs and relies on overseas shipments to meet 55 per cent of the gas needs.
It is the only nation in the world that is seeing growth in oil demand on a sustained basis and without it the producers will also suffer.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a fall injury on a construction site, you might need to file a lawsuit to get the compensation you deserve. The construction industry has more fatal accidents on the job site than almost any other industry. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), fall accidents are the number one killer of construction workers.
A worker on a construction site can fall into a pit or off of a rooftop, crane, ladder, scaffolding, or unfinished level of a building.
A defective crane, scaffolding, or ladder can collapse and cause a worker to fall to the ground below.
Construction equipment, tools, or other objects can fall from a higher level at a construction project and land on workers below.
The responsible party owed the injured person a duty of care, for example, the duty to provide a safe workplace.
The liable party breached the duty of care, for example, a construction company owner who failed to maintain and repair scaffolding.
The breach of duty was an actual cause of the injury, for example, a poorly maintained scaffolding collapsed and caused you to fall 30 feet to the ground below, suffering severe injuries.
You have physical damages from the negligence.
The manufacturer can be liable for injuries caused by defective equipment. We will have to prove that the equipment was defective in design or manufacture.
Even if no one is negligent, people can get hurt at construction sites because they can be inherently dangerous places. Sometimes the law allows the recovery of damages under the theory of strict liability for injuries at construction sites.
A construction accident lawyer from the Montero Law Center may be able to help you if you were injured from a fall accident on a construction site. We do not charge for this service. In fact, we do not charge any legal fees until you get compensation.

GEO Group is a Florida-based transnational corporation that operates 141 correction, detention, and community re-entry facilities, providing approximately 96,000 beds worldwide. It is the second largest for-profit prison operator in the United States, where it maintains eight ICE facilities that hold those awaiting administrative proceedings in immigration court. In November 2017, 71 percent of immigration detainees were housed in private immigration detention facilities. The detention population includes families, lawful permanent residents, asylum-seekers, children, and, in some cases, U.S. citizens.
The right to be free from involuntary servitude derives from the Thirteenth Amendment, which provides, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall be duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."3 This language permits the government to compel convicted criminals to work under certain circumstances. ICE detainees, however, are not being punished for a crime. They are civil rather than criminal detainees because they are awaiting administrative immigration proceedings rather than criminal proceedings.
Given that the Thirteenth Amendment prohibits this use of forced labor, the remedies under the TVPA apply to the immigration detainees. Section 1589(a) of the TVPA provides a civil remedy against anyone who "knowingly provides or obtains the labor or services of a person by means of force, threats of force, physical restraint, or threats of physical restraint,"4—the plaintiffs' chief claim in Menocal. Plaintiffs alleged that by requiring detainees to clean shared living spaces without pay, under threat of punishment, including initiation of criminal proceedings and solitary confinement, GEO Group violated the TVPA. Because solitary confinement is a form of physical restraint, plaintiffs argued, any labor they engaged in was under threat of physical restraint, and thus forced in violation of the law.
ICE's Performance-Based National Detention Standards mandate that all detainees in ICE facilities, whether government operated or privately operated, perform personal housekeeping for their own personal spaces. However, these standards are silent with respect to housekeeping of shared spaces such as kitchens and common areas. Under ICE standards, failure to perform these duties is a "low-moderate" offense, sanctions for which do not include solitary confinement. In its detention facilities, GEO Group combined these responsibilities with portions of the American Correctional Association standards and its own corporate policy to develop the Facilities Housing Unit Sanitation Policy ("Sanitation Policy"), which is at issue in the case.
Not only did detainees' duties under the Sanitation Policy go beyond the personal housekeeping required by ICE, but the policy also made non-compliance a "high-moderate" offense. High-moderate offenses can carry a penalty of up to 72-hours in solitary confinement. In GEO Group facilities, six detainees are selected at random every day to perform duties without pay under the Sanitation Policy. Plaintiffs claimed they only completed duties under the Sanitation Policy—like sweeping and mopping floors and cleaning toilets and showers—to avoid solitary confinement. Further, detainees claimed that GEO Group only employed a single outside custodian for the entire 1,500 bed facility, thus forcing the maintenance of the facility primarily on the detainees.
So far, the Tenth Circuit has sided with the plaintiff. GEO Group, citing the Supreme Court's decision in U.S. v. Kozminski,5 argued that the definition of "involuntary servitude" in the forced labor statute reached only compulsion of services by use of physical or legal coercion. Accordingly, the type of labor mandated by the Sanitation Policy could not be considered "forced". The plaintiffs' countered, asserting that Congress enacted the TVPA with the intent of broadening the narrow definition of coercion adopted by the Supreme Court in Kozminski. Ultimately, the Tenth Circuit agreed and affirmed class certification, allowing the case to go forward.
The Menocal plaintiffs invoking anti-trafficking legislation is a novel legal strategy, and, if successful, could produce seismic change for immigration detainees subject to squalid conditions in private detention. Until Menocal, GEO Group had kept lawsuits challenging the way it runs its facilities out of courts by settling individual claims. A successful verdict on the merits for the plaintiffs would cost GEO Group tens of millions of dollars in back wages and compensatory damages.
Indeed, the Menocal plaintiffs' success thus far has provided a legal framework for individuals undergoing similar treatment in private immigration detention facilities around the country. The case has sparked a national conversation about human trafficking in private immigration detention facilities and has reignited the debate surrounding the wisdom of privatizing government penal functions to corporations. Further, the damages of this case, whether by settlement on the plaintiffs' claims or a trial on the merits could inform immigration policy and forced labor litigation in the carceral context for years to come.

Microwave and mmWave Communication
Microwave technologies use electromagnetic waves in the microwave band to achieve wireless communication. While the microwave band theoretically includes all frequencies above 300 MHz, in common practice the term is used to describe communication conducted above 3 GHz.
Microwave links that use frequencies in the millimetre-wave range (between 24 and 100 GHz) are referred to as mmWave.
What is Microwave Communication?
Microwave communication is most common in the form of point-to-point data links, which provide a cost effective alternative to conventional fibre optic lines. In its most popular usage, data communication is achieved by the use of two highly directional (high gain) antennas which focus a thin beam of electromagnetic waves each other through the open air. This thin beam consists of a channel of closely spaced frequencies which are digitally modulated to carry data. Each microwave antenna is connected to a radio unit which has the task of modulating and demodulating the carrier frequency, that is, sending and receiving the data.
Fundamentally, this is all microwave communication is. In practice however, microwave communication can be extremely complex. Unlike fixed line communication like fibre optics, microwave uses an unprotected transmission medium affected by the environment. Factors that may affect a microwave link include:
Free Space Path Loss (FSPL)
Rain / humidity / precipitation
Air refraction (k-factor)
High wind (wind load)
Hostile microwave links
Vegetation growth
Terrain reflections
Equipment ageing
Being significantly higher frequencies, mmWave is in some ways simplified but in other ways substantially more complex. mmWave transmissions face fewer challenges with multipath and backscatter, but are far more susceptible to environmental changes such as weather and vegetation growth.
Microwave Transmission Lines
Below 3 GHz, electromagnetic waves are reasonably simple to handle. Low cost coaxial cables are an effective and economical way to interconnect a modem and antenna. As the wave becomes smaller, its propagation through physical media becomes more affected by ohmic losses due to the Skin Effect, where surface resistance increases as the frequency increases because the thickness of the layer carrying the current gets thinner. While specialised coaxial cables remain in use up through 110 GHz, as their complexity rises so too does their cost. Instead, microwave makes use of waveguides as its preferred transmission line.
For several decades microwave radio units were too large and heavy to install on the tower and instead used an All-Indoor or split IDU-ODU (Indoor Unit-Outdoor Unit) configuration. Waveguides were used to interconnect the radio unit and transmission antenna(s). Waveguides can be thought of in principle as a metal tube, where an electromagnetic wave continuously reflects back and forth off the walls until it reaches the receiver.
Waveguides are almost exclusively made of metal and mostly rigid structures. There are certain types of flexible corrugated waveguides that have the ability to bend but are only used where absolutely essential since they degrade wave propagation.
Modern Microwave Links
Today, modern microwave radios are almost exclusively in an all-ODU format, connected into wider telecommunications networks using SPF fibre optic cables. Data rates as high as 10 Gb/s are achievable using 8KQAM / 8192QAM modulation schemes. With many conventional microwave bands (such as 26, 28, 39 GHz) being refarmed for 5G, E-band (70 / 80 GHz) mmWave has become a popular choice for high capacity, short range backhaul.
With most countries implementing fibre-optic based national broadband infrastructure, the use of microwave as a primary data connection is falling out of favour. The technology however has become popular as a failover service, and remains critical for last-mile communications. Low cost microwave radios, such as those developed by Ubiquiti, Cambium, and Mikrotik have become a ubiquitous part of the landscape in developing nations, and regions where national broadband infrastructure has yet to reach.
R-Spectrum Microwave Design Services
Design and implementation of microwave / mmWave communication systems can be extraordinarily challenging. Diligent survey work is required, including both desktop and field analyses.
As demands for high capacity data services become greater the underlying delivery technologies have become far more complex. R-Spectrum focus our expertise in the design and project management of advanced microwave and mmWave systems. Our projects use carefully vetted contractors who operate within the strict guidance of R-Spectrum's Environmental, Health & Safety management systems.

Today's News: Our Take - American Idol Completes Its Top 20 — Did Your Faves Make the Cut?

Let's hear it for the survivors!
On American Idol's final sudden-death round on Thursday night, five more guys joined the ranks of the semifinalists, while five others went home. Here's a breakdown of who got the boot and who went through:
Has American Idol worn out its welcome? Vote now!
David Oliver Willis Wait, what? His dad was born in 1906?!? No matter how many times we rewind, that's what we're hearing. Maybe that's why he has an old-school bluesy vibe to him. The judges were split about David's take on "Fever," but agreed to let him go.
Bryant Tadeo This Hawaiian boy's sweet-voiced rendition of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" divided the judges again, and when he got the bad news, the crowd booed. We have a feeling he may try out again.
Mathenee Treco The judges gave him props for his vocal range and power on Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation" (although Mariah Carey wasn't familiar with the song), but thought he overdid the performance aspect. Or as Nicki Minaj said in her faux British accent, "It felt very cheesy and karaoke." It's fortunate that he already has a sweet gig in the Bahaams.
Josh Holiday The pretty boy took to the piano for an original ballad, but the judges were mixed about why it didn't quite work. Keith Urban found it too controlled, while Minaj thought he tried to please too much. He also sold his songwriting work ethic a bit too heavily for our taste.
Gurpreet Singh Sarin Yikes! Despite his yellow turban, Gurpreet's take on James Morrison's "Nothing Ever Hurt Like You" was anything but sunny. In fact, Randy Jackson called it "terrible," and the rest of the panel wanted him to go back to his intimate, guitar-playing style. We'll miss you, Turbinator.
Can you believe they dated?! Check out these surprising celebrity couples
Vincent Powell His showstopping rendition of Lenny Williams' "'Cause I Love You" was a crowd- and judge-pleaser. Minaj said it was so sexy that "50- and 60-year-olds were throwing their panties" at him. That's totally Idol's target demographic! Watch out, CBS.
Lazaro Arbos We all knew he was going to advance, yes? The stutterer brought his best pink shirt, bow tie and tribute by crooning Urban's "Tonight I Wanna Cry." Strangely enough, the judges didn't like the song choice because they felt it was too tricky for Lazaro. Although the panel agreed he had difficulty, Lazaro's voice, humility and great story pushed him through. America is going to love voting for him.
Cortez Shaw The heartthrob hit the big notes in David Guetta's "Titanium," but was inconsistent throughout. Urban thought it was a little too bold for him, but the judges gave him a chance for redemption by sending him to the "saved" stools.
Burnell Taylor American Idol doesn't just offer to fulfill your dreams, but is apparently an effective weight-loss program as well. Burnell lost 40 pounds from the rigors of Idol already and took his slim self on stage for a creative cover of John Legend's "This Time." The judges raved about his unique cadence and phrasing. "I would pay to see you sing," said Minaj.
Nick Boddington The bartender was shaky on Morrison's "Say Something Now" and had difficulty connecting. It definitely wasn't his best performance, but his timbre (and those baby blues) saved him.
Who's the best American Idol contestant ever? Make your picks
Congrats! Nick & Co. join the other Top 20 finalists, including these guys:
Charlie Askew
Curtis Finch Jr.
Paul Jolley
Elijah Liu
Devin Velez
And these girls:
Janelle Arthur
Aubrey Cleland
Kree Harrison
Amber Holcomb
Zoanette Johnson
Adriana Latonio
Angela Miller
Breanna Steer
Tenna Torres
What do you think of the Top 20? Did your faves make the cut? Who deserved to go through? Who would move you to vote next week?
American Idol airs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week at 8/7c on Fox.

Depth and length of coronavirus recession mount
ANN ARBOR—Consumer sentiment tumbled 17.3 index points in April, the largest one-month decline in nearly a half century, according to the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers.
A two-month decline of 29.2 points was also the largest consecutive monthly decline ever recorded.
Most of the weakness was due to a collapse in consumers' evaluations of current economic conditions, which posted a percentage decline twice as high as recorded in the Expectations Index, said U-M economist Richard Curtin, director of the surveys.
The difference was due to the notion that the coronavirus would be transitory and the spread of the virus would significantly decline in the upcoming months, he said. Nonetheless, the data indicate that the economy is already in recession and suggest that the economic downturn could persist at least until the start of 2021.
"As several states reopen their economies, more information will reach consumers about how reopening the economy could cause a resurgence in coronavirus infections," Curtin said. "Consumers' reactions to relaxing restrictions will be critical, by either putting further pressure on states to reopen their economies, or exerting added pressure for states to extend their restrictions.
"The risks associated with these decisions are not equally balanced, with the wrong decision to reopen having serious repercussions. The necessity to reimpose restrictions could cause a deeper and more lasting pessimism, even among those in states that did not relax their restrictions."
Surging Unemployment Claims
Surging numbers of consumers mentioned soaring unemployment, reflecting the record five-week surge in claims to 26 million. The rise in unemployment is hardly over, as the proportion of consumers who expected additional increase in the year ahead rose to 52% in April, more than twice February's 23%. Although it was nearly a universal view that the economy was in recession, consumers were more likely to expect a recovery in the year ahead, with the proportion rising to 58% from 39% in March and just 29% in February. This expectation was largely based on the view that the impact of the coronavirus would greatly ease in the year ahead.
Job and Income Uncertainty Soars
When asked to explain their buying plans, record numbers of consumers justified their negative views by referencing their uncertainty about future job and income prospects. Negative views of buying conditions for large household durables were voiced by 55%, twice last month's 27% and three-times February's 18%. Home-buying conditions were judged less favorable than anytime since 1984. Vehicle-buying conditions declined to their lowest levels in nearly a decade. Home and vehicles were aided by more frequent references to price discounts. The attraction of lower interest rates and prices were easily offset by rising uncertainty.
Consumer Sentiment Index
The Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 71.8 in April 2020, down from 89.1 in March and 101.0 in February, a record two month decline of 29%. The Expectations Index fell to 70.1 in April from 79.7 in March and 92.1 in February. The Current Conditions Index posted the largest losses, plunging to 74.3 in April from 103.7 in March and 114.8 in February.
The Surveys of Consumers is a rotating panel survey based on a nationally representative sample that gives each household in the coterminous U.S. an equal probability of being selected. Interviews are conducted throughout the month by telephone. The minimum monthly change required for significance at the 95% level in the Sentiment Index is 4.8 points; for the Current and Expectations Index, the minimum is 6 points.

<radio-buttons options="optionsList"
               ng-model="myModel"
               ng-change="myCallback($event)"></radio-buttons>

I've defined a function in my controller, myCallback, that looks like this:
$scope.myCallback = function(e) {
    console.log("Callback from controller");
    console.log(e);
}

The following function select exists within my radioButton directive. I need to define when the ngChange callback is executed inside my directive in the select function:
function select(scope, val) {
    if (!scope.disabled && scope.selectedValue != val) {
        scope.selectedValue = val;
        scope.model = val;

        scope.callback.call();
    }
}

The problem I am having is the argument $event in myCallback is not getting passed along when I execute myCallback inside the select function of my directive.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dkrotts/BtrZH/7/ Updated: http://jsfiddle.net/dkrotts/BtrZH/8/
What am I doing wrong?

A: If you want to control when your handler for the ng-change is called, I think the easiest way would be to remove the ng-change completely - you can call the controller function directly from your ng-click callback.
I think this achieves your desired functionality:
http://jsfiddle.net/BtrZH/11/
You can capture the event object from the click if required:
ng-click="select(scope, option.value, $event)"

Then you can call the controller function when desired:
function select(scope, val, $event) {
    if (!scope.disabled && scope.selectedValue != val) {
        scope.selectedValue = val;
        scope.model = val;
        scope.$parent.myCallback($event);
    }
}

A: You have to pass the parameter in the callback like so:
callback({parametername: value});

And you have to match the parameter name with the one declared in the HTML
In your case:
callback({$event: val})

A: The following doesn't look good, but would work (it'd create another variable $event and pass it via ng-change):
ng-click="$event = $event" ng-change="myCallback($event)"

A: To pass in values to your controller call it using an object with keys corresponding to the receiver arguments as defined on your template.
e.g.
element
<my-element change="myFunction(value, id, event)"></my-element>

caller
{
   "restrict" : ...,
   "scope" : {
       "change" : "&"
    },
   "controller" : function($scope){
       this.someEventHandler = function($event){

          // called here
          scope.change({
              "value" : "somevalue",
              "id" : "someid",
              "event" : $event
          });

       }
   }
}

parent controller receiver
$scope.myFunction = function(v, i, e){
   // do stuff
}

Ill happily admit to feeling a little nervous when preparing for my interview with Marco Pierre White about his latest venture, The Steakhouse, Bar & Grill, which recently opened at the Doubletree by Hilton Cadbury House Hotel just outside Bristol in Congresbury. However, it was more because of my admiration for the man who reached the high accolade of being rated a three-Michelin Star chef at the young age of 33, than because of his allegedly fearsome reputation. I actually dont find him fearsome at all, but thoroughly charming. I have a high regard for him as a man with passion for feeding people great food, inspiring young chefs and his no-nonsense attitude to life.
Marco Pierre White first began his training in the kitchen at the Hotel St George in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and later at the Box Tree in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. Marco tells me, In those days, everything was in London, so therefore, to have the opportunity to work in a two-Michelin Star restaurant locally was like finding hens teeth.
Arriving in London as a 16-year-old with 7.36, a box of books and a bag of clothes, he began his classical training as a commis chef under Albert Roux and Michel Roux at La Gavroche. Marco tells me that as he was inspired by great chefs in his youth, he now enjoys passing on that inspiration to the next generation of young talented chefs. I think the greatest gift you have is inspiring young boys and girls. Its like when I do Hells Kitchen. I dont swear, I dont scream, I dont shout, I dont belittle. I guide people and inspire people the way I was guided and inspired.
When I ask Marco about who inspired him most, he responds, All the chefs I have worked with inspired me in a different way. However, my motivation was borne out of my dear mother. My mother motivates me and inspires me. I can certainly relate to this, and I think this is true of so many people.
At 24, Marco became Head Chef and joint owner of Harveys, with a kitchen staff that included the young Gordon Ramsey and Heston Blumenthal. And it was at this time that he formed a friendship that has stood the test of time: I work with an old friend of mine called Francis Caroll, who heads it all up. We were together as boys years ago, he was at La Gavroche and I was at Harveys. He now works for Sanguine Hospitality Management in charge of all operations.
Although the Cadbury House Steakhouse & Grill follows the same premise as Marcos Chester venture of the same name, Marco tells me, Every restaurant is different, even though the consistency and style is similar, every space that you have is different so therefore the feel is different. They are all individual thats the way it should be with a modern-day chain: each one should be individual. And tailored to the environment it is created in, the area you put it in.
Marco puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of local knowledge and produce, and the team setting up the Steakhouse put a plea out to all local suppliers to come forward if they felt their wares could pass muster with the exacting standards Marco insists upon. Marco comments: I think what you have to do when you open in the countryside is to build relationships with the local suppliers. We have fantastic produce in Somerset. The only thing we dont get locally is the beef, well get that from Scotland, unless there is a beef farmer that can deliver the spec. Its all about consistency really.
Marco famously stopped cooking professionally 11 years ago, and so now it is all about the team he has working with him: You only need to employ two key people the head chef and the restaurant manager. If you employ the right people then they employ the right people. Marco also believes that it is very important to create employment in areas rather than just importing a team. It just seems to me a very logical way of working, because of the amount of knowledge, for example, a local chef can bring to you in the sense of suppliers and other chefs; the head chefs and managers knowledge of the area are greater than mine, and thats why I think it is so important that were all one link within a chain. Its about making a team decision, not an individual decision.
If you think that it is just a case of Marco putting his name to the project, then youre wrong. In part this is due to Marcos passion for spending time in the Somerset countryside, as he relishes the excellent opportunities within the county to go deerstalking and shooting. I spend a fair amount of time down there. Its a very, very pretty county, isnt it? Lots of patchwork hills, nice people, it is one of my favourite counties actually. Ive been visiting Somerset for years.
Ill be spending quite a lot of time at the Doubletree by Hilton Cadbury House Hotel for the simple reason that I spend a lot of time in Somerset anyway. So a lot of my part-time pleasure is only half an hours drive away from the Doubletree.
When I ask Marco if he is aiming for any kinds of awards, he politely but firmly replies, No, its about feeding people at the right price within the right environment and with the right level of service. If you start to chase awards then youre doing what youre doing for the wrong reason. The best reward you can be given is when customers continue to return to your restaurant and spend the money that theyve worked very hard for.
It is this attitude of mind that is so evident in the TV series Hells Kitchen. I hope you approve of the way I conducted myself in the kitchen? What I do is I hide their mistakes, I protect them, because its all about feeding a room full of people in an hour and fifteen minutes to a standard, and at the end of the day a chefs job is to inspire people. I have to be firm, because I have a job to do and I have to lead them through that minefield of complication and to guide them. What I realised is that the time I had with them was not enough to teach them how to cook. What I could do is teach them systems. Dissolve their fear of the stove and get them working as a team get them wanting to do it and not wanting to be asked off the show. Everyone has their style of leadership.
When I ask Marco finally if there are any pearls of wisdom he would pass on to aspiring chefs in the region, he replies, The best advice I could give anybody is that you make sure you work in the right establishment with the right chef. Be respectful and keep your head down and work hard. It is very important for a young boy or a young girl to step into the right establishment then they learn the right way and not the wrong way.

Electric drive trains have a torsional rigid-body vibration mode at a small, non-zero frequency. If an excitation occurs close to this frequency, the vibration amplitude may grow large and the electrical machine may suffer from significant additional losses. Standards set constraints on the oscillating torque in the shaft coupling and on the harmonics of line current. They indirectly limit the vibration amplitude and losses of the machines.

St. Peter's Altar Society hosted their fourth Adorned Tables Fellowship Luncheon, Fashion Show and Silent Auction Saturday, April 6th in the school cafeteria. There was a Preview and Social Friday night for the public to attend. There were 18 tables uniquely decorated by the ladies of the Parish. A total of 170 seats were sold, the doors opened at 10:30 am. Guests could view the decorated tables while enjoying a mimosa, bid on a large variety of items offered in the Silent Auction and purchase tickets for the raffle drawings. At 12:00 guests were seated at their assigned table and were served lunch prepared by Altar Society and served by the CYM ladies. The menu was chicken salad, marinated chilled asparagus, fresh strawberries and a croissant. After lunch there was a Fashion Show presented by Chico's and Chico's Off The Rack previewing the latest trends for Spring. The volunteer models were ladies from the parish. After the Fashion Show, guests were brought a tropical trifle to their table that was served family style.

Q: AWS Instance Scheduler: A couple of questions I am setting up and testing a Cloud Formation instance scheduling stack and I want to make sure I completely understand the effect of these settings:
--retain-running
--enforced
--override-status
The AWS documentation is not completely clear (to me !)

*

*the first two are Boolean. Does leaving them out of a schedule have the same effect as putting them in and setting them to 'false'?

*I am not clear on what 'retain-running' actually means?

*I am not clear on what 'override-status' actually means?

*I am assuming 'enforced' means that a state change will be effected 'no matter what' (other rules may dictate)
I am new to AWS and this level of detail. So please reply with a couple of examples of ho the above settings would be used. Much appreciated
I have tried different cim=binations of the above settings. Some times I get the result I want and then sometimes I don't
By objective is a simple template to shut down EC2 instances overnight and start them up again in the morning.
This is the schedule I have now:

Q: Interpolation on Cubism graphs Cubism was designed, by mbostock's own words, for maximum information density - which means it generally wants to display one datapoint per pixel. While this is useful in many cases, it doesn't help when your data itself is not that dense. In these cases, you get ugly, staccato-style graphs like so:

Is there a way to interpolate my data/graph within Cubism to show a nice, smoothed graph?
EDIT:
After adding keepLastValue to the metric, I get this:

Here is the same data as shown in Graphite:

I would like to smooth the Cubism view to look more like Graphite (with the added awesomeness of the horizon overplotting)

A: Cubism doesn't do this automatically, but d3 has an interpolator you can use to fill in the in-between values. Here is an example from Mike Bostock using a custom line interpolator; you're probably fine with the default one.


I thought I would focus this week's blog on things that have recently caught my attention in the news.
I agree with Sternlicht. I also understand why EQR did what it did.
This article on Boomberg.com caught me a bit by surprise, but it makes sense upon further reflection and could serve to cushion the negative impact of lower oil prices on Texas. Big oil has had an increasingly terrible track record of going dramatically over budget and taking longer to develop large oil fields. This probably sounds familiar to people doing remodels on their homes. Instead of trying to hit the home run they are realizing the odds of success are very low and that the only margin of safety they have is if oil prices are $80+ for long periods of time. Instead, they're going for the lower hanging fruit of shale production.
Before everyone gets excited about the change in China's 35 year one child policy, I suggest people read this article from FT Alphaville. They make a strong assertion that China's fertility rates will converge with other Asian countries that do not have government restrictions and are lower than China's. So maybe the sell-off in Japanese condom makers on the news was a bit overdone.
When short-term interest rates rise above long-term rates, the U.S. economy almost always enters a recession within the next 12 months. With short-term rates at close to 0% because of Fed policy, an inverted yield curve is practically impossible as long rates won't go negative. I read an interesting article about whether bonds are throwing a curveball which looks at alternative measurements that suggest the economy is pretty weak and could be signaling recessionary conditions.
The author makes a compelling assertion that when banks earn a large spread on the money they invest that this is good for the economy because this should lead to more lending and economic activity. The opposite is the case when their Net Interest Margin is low and can lead to recessionary conditions.
The Net Interest Margin and spread between 10-year and 2-year Treasuries track pretty closely but has broken down more recently as the Fed has kept short-term rates near zero. If history is any guide then the very low Net Interest Margin suggests economic weakness ahead.
Tim Ferris, who wrote The Four Hour Work Week, has great interviews via his podcasts. I recently listened to one he did with Scott Adams of Dilbert fame and enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend listening to many of the other ones Ferris has carried out as he goes deep with the people he interviews about what has made them so successful, their habits, influences, and sources of inspiration, just to name a few of the key areas he covers.
Check out this interview. It will make you want to immediately buy this person's book. And for those of you who have read it already and would be inspired and inclined to write a review on Amazon that would be greatly appreciated!
What caught your eye in the news this week? Did you have a favorite news item that may be of interest to me?
