Innovative Express Care Celebrates Six Years of Exceptional Care
Six years ago, Innovative Express Care started as a dream to do healthcare differently. More than a decade in the Emergency Department at a large academic medical center had opened my eyes to gaps in the healthcare system. It also allowed me to realize the need for greater innovation and technology to improve the patient experience. I wanted to evolve the healthcare experience.
Pairing Quality with Convenience
Long before telemedicine was mainstream (thanks COVID), Innovative Express Care used virtual visits to afford patients more convenience. Virtual visits work well for medication refills, symptom consults, and more, and they can be done from a patient's home or office.
Innovative also offers online scheduling. Patients can easily secure an appointment time that works within their schedule. Walk-in wait times are also published.
As an independent clinic, Innovative is nimble. We execute on our ideas quickly. In 2016, we expanded our services to include medical cannabis certification. While legal in Illinois, most medical providers were not supporting patients who chose to pursue cannabis as a means of symptom relief. Innovative Express Care quickly became the go to clinic for patients who wanted to incorporate cannabis alongside traditional therapies for chronic pain and/or depression caused by a qualifying medical condition.
Innovative Express Care was also among the first clinics in Chicago to offer Ketamine infusions for the treatment of severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. Demand for both medical cannabis certification and ketamine infusions ultimately spurred two new clinics, now known as Innovative Wellness and Innovative Ketamine.
When COVID-19 hit Chicago, Innovative was among the first medical providers to respond to the need for community testing. We erected a medical tent in our parking lot to see symptomatic patients safely, while reducing exposure and the risk of transmission to other patients. Our team later moved to a larger site that allowed us to see over 1,500 patients every day.
Still, every appointment filled daily. Patients demand prompted us to establish three additional testing sites. By fall, our testing capacity was more than 3,000 COVID-19 tests per day.
Innovative Express Care was the first clinic in Chicago to offer COVID-19 antibody testing. We were also among the first clinics to have the COVID-19 vaccine. We have worked to curb this pandemic for more than a year at this point, and we will not stop until COVID-19 is behind us.
Six Clinics Strong
Innovative Express Care drew many patients who did not have a medical home and needed a primary care provider. Innovative Primary Care was born from this need and began seeing patients in 2016. Today, the busy primary care has five medical providers.
Innovative Therapy was also established to serve the needs of Innovative Express Care patients. A behavioral health component has allowed us to meet both the physical and emotional needs of our patients, while also providing consults on PTSD and ADHD.
Innovative MedSpa offers a full range of services, including facials, Botox, fillers, PRP therapy and more.
Innovative Ketamine is a leader in IV ketamine infusions for the treatment of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Innovative Wellness continues to be Chicago's choice for medical cannabis certification and cannabis consulting.
In six years, we evolved from one standalone urgent care, to a full medical group. We call this Innovative Care. Our focus moving forward will be on primary care, urgent care and behavioral health. The combination of these services in one medical group will make Innovative Care unique. We will grow our three key practices, while nurturing the affiliate practices our patients also love. Innovative Care will be the "go to" place for primary care, urgent care and behavioral health on Chicago's North side. Patients will continue to choose Innovative Care because we provide high-quality health care that is also efficient and convenient. Technology and innovative thinking improve the patient experience.
Innovative Care is healthcare evolved, and we look forward to continuing to execute on the mission we set for ourselves six years ago.

SDL (Specification and Description Language - Linguagem de Especificação e Descrição) é uma linguagem padrão para especificação e descrição formal de sistemas de tempo real. Está inserido no conceito presente na indústria de telecomunicações, porém pode ser utilizado em outras áreas de aplicações. Foi normatizada pela União Internacional de Telecomunicações (ITU-T) na Recomendação Z.100.

A linguagem possui duas representações equivalentes: uma gráfica (SDL/GR) e outra textual (SDL/PR).

História
O desenvolvimento da SDL começou em 1972, quando um grupo de estudos de 15 membros da ITU (chamada na época CCITT), representando vários setores da engenharia elétrica e vários segmentos da indústria, começaram a definir a linguagem para especificar sistemas de telecomunicações. A primeira versão da linguagem foi lançada em 1976, seguida de novas versões em 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 e 1996.

note: This album is one of the finest album recorded by The Wailers. Their first album after signing to Island Records. All of these songs could be considered classics tracks. It contains new versions of four songs that were previously recorded for other producers: CONCRETE JUNGLE (1971), FOUR HUNDRED YEARS (1970), STOP THE TRAIN (1970) and STIR IT UP (1967). Chris Blackwell strategy was to marketed the band the same way as a rock act. The Wailers were promoted among college radios stations. A very nice documentary is available on 'The making of' Catch A Fire, simply entitled: Catch A Fire. The original covers was a silver zippo, that could be oppened in to to find the vinyl. Contrary to regular remastered that include fillers, the two bonus tracks are simply excellent. The remastered edition has a very nice 12-page booklet that inlcude all the lyrics, compared to the unapropriate and deceiving 4-page booklet included in the initial 1988 CD edition (re-issued until the Remastered Edition came out in 2001).
The singles that were issued in Jamaica were: MIDNIGHT RAVERS, ROCK IT BABY and CONCRETE JUNGLE. The singles that were issued in UK were: BABY WE'VE GOT A DATE (with STOP THAT TRAIN (instrumental) on it's B-side) and CONCRETE JUNGLE. The song SLAVE DRIVER was featured on the B-side of GET UP STAND UP.
Note that a Deluxe Edition of this album was issued in March 2001. The bonus CD includes the original recording of the songs, without additional musicians.

The Divine Comedy Perform "National Express"
Listen to this track by Northern Irish pop concern with a rotating line-up, The Divine Comedy. It's "National Express", a single and a top ten hit in the UK as taken from their 1998 album Fin de Siècle. I say "their", but perhaps I should say "his", given that The Divine Comedy is steered by the central figure of singer and songwriter Neil Hannon, working with other musicians in the creation of his albums when not playing multiple parts himself.
Hannon's general musical neighbourhood is centered around the minutiae of British life that is both real as well as that which is steeped in cultural myth. His approach also owes a debt to that which Ray Davies took in the 1960s with the Kinks, with his well-respected men about town, dedicated followers of fashion, and Village Green Preservation societies that populated a decidedly British landscape. Maybe that Kinksian connection is why The Divine Comedy are very often included when the subject of Britpop comes up.
But, I think Hannon's work went one better than most.
For one thing, he not only sang about British identity overtly in the way that a lot of his Britpop contemporaries did. He seemed to also put across a once-removed persona that commented on the same; the dapper gentlemen with the wry and acerbic songwriter living just below his surface pulling his strings. This dynamic of Hannon's best externalized the considerable levels of irony that can be found in British pop music at the time. This song has it in spades as one of the most biting profiles of modern life in Britain that came out of this era.
The National Express, for those of you who've never been to Britain, is a bus service that is sort of the UK equivalent to Greyhound. It's service is looked upon as something of a national institution. But, of course like most institutions, it is very open to being seen as something of a snapshot of the culture it supports. "The National Express" shares some of the similar associations that getting on a Greyhound bus in North America has; being adrift, broke, alone, and often trying to escape the seemingly inescapable. That undercurrent is certainly true in this song, with "all human life is here/from the feeble old dear to the screaming child", albeit in a more reserved and understated way in a culture of "keep calm and carry on".
Hannon's tune comes off as a sort of orchestral pop commercial to the joys of people-watching on the surface, full as it is of the simple pleasures of British culture. But, there's plenty of angst too; lost youth, forgotten dreams, regret for roads not taken, and fear of adulthood are all lurking beneath Hannon's Scott Walker-esque vocal style and bombastic '60s MOR arrangements. The world presented in this song is very small indeed, and with few options available to its occupants to enable them to improve their situations. It is a place that is defined by its limitations, and not by its possibilities, and is ultimately a tragic one.
Tea and crisps, anyone?
To get a feel for Hannon's head space around the time this song came out, have a read of this 1999 interview.

OUR STORY OUR
Plugged In exists to shine a light on the world of popular entertainment while giving you and your family the essential tools you need to understand, navigate and impact the culture in which we live. Through reviews, articles and discussions, we want to spark intellectual thought, spiritual growth and a desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."

Family uses Plugged In as a 'significant compass'
"I am at a loss for words to adequately express how much it means to my husband and me to know that there is an organization like Focus that is rooting for us. Just today I was reading Psalm 37 and thinking about how your ministry provides ways to 'dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.' We have two teenagers and an 8-year-old in our household...Plugged In has become a significant compass for our family. All three of our kids are dedicated to their walk with Christ but they still encounter challenges. Thanks for all of your research and persistence in helping us navigate through stormy waters."
Plugged In helps college student stand-up for his belief
"Thanks for the great job you do in posting movie and television reviews online. I'm a college freshman and I recently had a confrontational disagreement with my English professor regarding an R-rated film. It is her favorite movie and she wanted to show it in class. I went to your Web site to research the film's content. Although I had not seen the movie myself, I was able to make an educated argument against it based on the concerns you outlined. The prof said that she was impressed by my stand and decided to poll the whole class and give us a choice. We overwhelmingly voted to watch a G-rated movie instead! I've learned that I can trust your site and I will be using it a lot in the future."
Plugged In brings 'Sanity and Order' to Non-believer
"Even though I don't consider myself a Christian, I find your Plugged In Web site useful and thought-provoking. No one reviews movies like you do. Instead of being judgmental, you put entertainment 'on trial.' After presenting the evidence, you allow the jury of your readers to decide for themselves what they should do. In my opinion, you bring sanity and order to the wild world of modern day entertainment. Keep up the good work!"
Mom thinks Plugged In is the 'BEST Christian media review site'
"Our family doesn't go to the movies until we go online and check out your assessment of a given film. I think this is the BEST Christian media review website that I've found, and I recommend it to my family and friends. Keep up the good work!"
SUPPORT THE WORK OF PLUGGED IN
Our hope is that whether you're a parent, youth leader or teen, the information and tools at Plugged In will help you and your family make appropriate media decisions. We are privileged to do the work we do, and are continually thankful for the generosity and support from you, our loyal readers, listeners and friends.

Watch This Review
We hope this review was both interesting and useful. Please share it with family and friends who would benefit from it as well.
In Dante's imagining of hell, the harshest damnation was reserved for people who betrayed friends. History has seen its share of them. But in all of classic literature, few villains have displayed the ruthless cunning and amoral deceit of Iago in William Shakespeare's Othello. Aspiring to personal heights by climbing the broken backs of easily manipulated peers, Iago is both a despicable and pathetic character—one easily adapted into an angst-ridden 21st-century high school student whose malicious scheming devastates an entire community in O.
O parallels Othello at every turn with set-ups and relationships modeled after the Bard's timeless tragedy, but in a context modern audiences can identify with. Instead of boasting military prowess, the African-American icon in this clever retelling of Shakespeare's tale of jealousy and racial tension happens to be a black basketball star on a lily-white prep school team. Odin is a champion, a local hero and the apple of Coach Goulding's eye. Trouble is, the coach's son, Hugo, is also on the squad and begins to resent Odin's status, but even more so objects to the phenom's partiality for another teammate, Michael, as his go-to guy. Something must be done. And it doesn't matter who gets hurt in the process. One pawn in Hugo's strategic plan to rise above his current status is Desi, the dean's daughter. She and Odin have begun a controversial interracial romance. If Hugo can plant seeds of jealousy in Odin by having him believe that Michael and Desi are carrying on behind his back, it could disrupt the current hierarchy. Hugo enlists the services of his rich-kid roommate, Roger (a picked-upon dupe who has a crush on Desi) to help him sow discord. It works. Odin's jealousy grows. However, Hugo's lies and homicidal plotting set in motion a series of events that eventually careens out of control, leading to a Scream-sized body count in the film's final 20 minutes.
positive elements: As a result of the tale's tragic outcome, viewers get a lesson in the destructive nature of jealousy, deception, pride, romantic obsession, misplaced trust and too much alcohol. Odin and Desi discuss the racial double-standard surrounding the use of the n-word.
sexual content: There's dialogue, slang, innuendo and activity. Roger watches as Odin and Desi freak dance ("When people are breaking up, they don't grind. They're grinding," he observes). It is suggested that Odin and Desi have been sleeping together ("Half the time he doesn't even want to do anything. He just lays naked with me," Desi says). Hugo and his girlfriend Emily lay on his bed, kissing passionately before the scene cuts away (sex is implied). Michael talks frankly about Brandi's promiscuity and how the couple had sex in the school library. But the most explicit scene finds Odin and Desi going at it hot and heavy. Careful editing avoids any breast or rear nudity, but body movement, orgasmic cries and facial reactions leave very little to the imagination. In Othello, the couple is married; here they're dating, making the sexual content seem all the more inappropriate.
violent content: Coach Goulding is hot-tempered and combustible on the sideline. During a slam-dunk contest, Odin lets rage get the better of him (he smashes a backboard, shoves a ball boy and alienates the crowd with ugly posturing). Odin beats up Roger for telling lies against him. Roger and Michael get into a brawl at a party (Roger is bloodied). Michael and another boy taunt Roger, inspiring the persecuted teen to accept Hugo's plan to ambush and murder Michael. As Hugo describes the plot, viewers see it transpiring as intended with Roger shooting Michael and making it look like suicide. During the actual ambush, Hugo attacks Michael with a crowbar and Roger shoots him in the leg. In anger, Hugo shoots Emily dead. Odin strangles Desi. Roger and Odin both commit suicide by turning guns on themselves. In the aftermath of the violence, as Hugo is carted away by police in the final scene, the disturbed young man's words echo those of actual school shooters: "One of these days everyone's going to pay attention to me ...," creating an ominous image.
crude or profane language: Frequent with approximately 20 s-words, 55 f-words and a half-dozen blasphemous uses of God's name.
drug and alcohol content: Beer is consumed at a party. Hugo and Michael drink hard liquor. Hugo is shown being injected with steroids. Odin accepts a free sample from a drug dealer in order to enhance his performance. Hugo offers a depressed Odin lines of cocaine, which the hoops star snorts and chases with alcohol.
other negative elements: Hugo advises Michael not to worry about his reputation, and to make up his own rules in life. Odin gives Desi a rubber-band ring as a symbol of his commitment, then tells her he doesn't want to get married but suggests they "pretend for a while." Desi tells her father that her romantic involvement with Odin is none of his business (she's in high school; who his daughter is dating is most definitely his business).
conclusion: O revisits Othello much the way Hollywood updated the similarly Machiavellian Dangerous Liaisons for teen audiences in 1999 in the form of Cruel Intentions. This film has many of the same problems, namely back stabbing, drug use, sexual immorality and obscene language. O was actually made at about the same time as Cruel Intentions, but sat on a shelf because studios felt it irresponsible to release the film in the immediate wake of the Columbine tragedy. It languished, leaving its creators to wonder if it would ever make it to theaters. Well, here it is. Despite being a faithful and interesting treatment of Shakespeare filled with decent performances, one has to wonder what good will come from it, and whether it should have stayed on the shelf.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra/Leonard Slatkin – Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture & Schubert's Great C major Symphony – Hilary Hahn plays Nielsen's Violin Concerto [live webcast]
Die Weihe des Hauses, Op.124 – Overture
Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op.33
Symphony No.9 in C, D944 (Great)
Hilary Hahn (violin)
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Leonard Slatkin
Reviewed: 24 January, 2014
Venue: Orchestra Hall, Detroit, Michigan
Absurdly dismissed in some quarters, the Overture (plus several vignettes) that Beethoven composed for the opening night on 3 October 1822 of the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna is no token gesture but a magnificent beast, proudly ceremonial to 'consecrate the house', thrillingly athletic in the fugal sections (with Handel's influence to the fore), boldly scored and brilliant, and with no shortage of transporting depth. It's a substantial piece. Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra did it proud – uplifting trumpets, nippy bassoons, rich strings and a big collective heart – to exhilarate this Friday-morning concert that was broadcast worldwide via the Web.
If Carl Nielsen's Violin Concerto (1911) is not as envelope-pushing as his last three symphonies (especially the remarkable No.6), then it is utterly adorable. In two movements (as far as I am concerned!), each preceded by a speculative introduction, the music straddles heroic and quixotic qualities, and also dazzles and shares mysterious intimacies. Nielsen himself was a violinist, good enough to play in the Royal Danish Orchestra, and although the writing for the instrument here is challenging, even for the greatest virtuosos, it is idiomatic. Hilary Hahn, new to this superb piece, clearly relishes the contest. She gave a fabulous performance – considered, poised, glowing, stunning – brought affection and bravura to the work, and made wonderful music out of the first movement (with its memorably swashbuckling 'big' tune) and then relished the pastoral reverie and drily-witty quirkiness of the second. Cadenzas were given space while remaining integrated. Slatkin's Detroiters, whether fuelling the music's Romantic headiness or faithfully tracing its inimitable poetic and spiky outlines, only adds to the feeling that this is an opus that deserves a greater number of appearances than it tends to receive. Give Bruch No.1 and E minor Mendelssohn a much-needed rest (great pieces, mind) and play the Nielsen!
In December 1988 Slatkin set down a recording of Schubert's 'Great C major' with the St Louis Symphony for RCA that captures well the work's expanse and drive, an impressive version distinguished for its dovetailing, generosity and communicative spirit. And so it remains in Detroit, orchestra and conductor finding each other at every turn, the Symphony launched by fine horns, a sanguine sensibility growing and leading with exciting force into an Allegro (exposition repeated) bristling with detail and vitality; lovingly shaped too. The Andante con moto second movement was rather jaunty before yielding to Alpine lyricism, cathartic climax, and the 'recalled in tranquillity' follow-through. The scherzo and trio (most repeats taken) was a joy of muscular dance and limpid melodies (Detroit woodwinds coming into their own), and the finale – wisely without the exposition repeat, once this movement starts it should brook no detouring lead-back bars – had a rhythmic swing and propulsion that avoided sewing-machine regularity but also left no doubt where the music was going, and confirming Slatkin as a notable interpreter of this Symphony, for all seasons in fact. To Detroit locals, if you missed this concert, you have two more chances at Orchestra Hall, Saturday and Sunday.

Being situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, residents in Hawaii are more than used to commercials of their favorite mainland franchises advertising a delicious deal only to be sideswiped by the fine print at the end, which excludes Hawaii.
The "promotion not available in Alaska and Hawaii" disclaimer resounds by the announcer as upbeat music fills the background and happy faces bite into the dishes that Hawaii residents end up paying more for.
Thankfully for islanders, Applebee's Grill & Bar has stepped in and put a stop to this pattern. The popular eatery is spanning its $12.99 All You Can Eat (AYCE) Riblets and Chicken Tenders promotion all the way across the Pacific to include Hawaii.
General manager Gladys Duenez of Applebee's Pearlridge location explains that this is the first time the Hawaii franchise is able to mimic the prices found on the mainland. Residents can stop into any Applebee's location on the island and enjoy this promotion until mid-February.
Duenez also explains that the meal comes with a side of coleslaw and bottomless fries, and diners may mix- and-match between unlimited riblets and chicken tenders — so it's not just one or the other.
The bar also is offering promotional refreshments available until mid-February. Sip on Carolina Peach Long Island Iced Tea ($9.99 regular, $12.99 mucho), as well as $2 Blue Moon, while "grinding" on the AYCE promotion or the establishment's popular The Classic Combo ($16.50) appetizer.
What's more, Apple-bee's is calling all of its baconand burger-lovers to try the Triple Bacon ($14.49) burger. Strips of bacon are seared in a juicy all-beef patty and topped with cheddar cheese, tangy barbecue bacon ranch sauce, and even more crispy bacon slices. All this overflowing goodness is packed between two soft brioche buns.

Q: rented per month postgreSQL My task is to count the number of cars rented per month during a specified year.
I have two tables one called cars and one called rental
car table has (car_id, type, monthly_cost)
rental table has (rental_id, car_id, person_id, rental_date, return_date)
The problem is that I can count the number of rentals in a month just on the rental_date,
but that is just giving me new rentals.
For example rental_date: 2020-02-04 and return_date: 2020-05-05, this rental needs to be counted in feb, mars, apr and may.
select extract(month from rental_date) as month, count(*)
from rental
where extract(year from rental_date) = 2020
group by extract(month from rental_date);

This is my query for counting "new rentals".

A: One approach uses generate_seris() to generate all starts of months that year, and then brings the table with a left join on rental periods that overlap with each month:
select d.dt, count(r.rental_id) as cnt_rentals
from generate_series(date '2020-01-01', date '2020-12-01', '1 month') d(dt)
left join rental r
    on  r.rental_date < d.dt + interval '1 month'
    and r.return_date >= d.dt
group by d.dt

Note that this properly handles rentals that cross the beginning of the year, while your original code did not. It also allows months without any rental.

I'm Abby, Wife to Jordan & Mama to B. I live in Wichita, KS and blog about a little bit of everything.
Apr 29 B's Big Girl Room
Abby Storey
Ever since we moved in, I've been scheming and dreaming of ways to decorate B's big girl room. I wanted it to reflect her personality with lots of color and unique details. I love how it turned out, specifically with the wallpaper from Loomwell that I think completes the room.
We started by choosing the bed first from Wichita Furniture & Mattress. I loved the treehouse bed because it seemed cozy like her crib, but was really unique and fun for a big kid room. It immediately reminded me of the book "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," which was exciting because we've always tried to incorporate some elements of New York in Brooklyn's room just because of her name. New York has always held a special place in my heart, too, for no particular reason other than I just love it there. The art, food, sights, and history are just spectacular. I've also read the book a few times, and used it as a loose jumping off point. Overall, I wanted B's room to be a little vintage, super playful, and cozy.
The removable wallpaper came from Loomwell, and I knew their Ash wallpaper design would be amazing behind the treehouse bed. It's got a vintage vibe, but is also totally updated and modern. Plus, adding a big pop of blue with the Ash wallpaper took me out of the neutral + pink only scheme we'd been working with so far. I loved the challenge of bringing that color into the rest of the room, and it added such a whimsical feel after it was installed.
My husband did an awesome job of installing the wallpaper - we used the same company in B's nursery at our old house, and were thrilled that it was so easy to take down (bittersweet for sure) when it was time to move. It was easy to convince Jordan that a removable wallpaper would be ideal after we saw how well it worked at the last house! A few other things to note: The print quality and feel of the paper is stellar. We have a super light wall texture in B's room, and this held nicely on her wall. Obviously samples are highly suggested to test this in your own home, but Loomwell's wallpaper self-adhesive does well with lightly textured walls according to their FAQ page.
I ended up painting all of the artwork in B's new room to A.) Save money & B.) Have full creative control. It was a lot easier to stay within the theme and color scheme this way! I thought the apple and pigeon were a fun ode to NYC, and they were SO fun to paint. I was really inspired by the brand Oeuf NYC and pictures of the founders' Brooklyn Brownstone (linked here if you're curious). We've named the pigeon "Bernice" after Bert's pigeon on Sesame Street. She's got a lot of confidence rocking that beret, and I dig her sassy sweater.
The rest of our house isn't nearly as playful or colorful as B's room, so this was really a place for me to let loose. My childhood bedroom growing up was also really bright and fun, and I think it's so important that kid spaces foster imagination and creativity. That being said, we keep the majority of her toys downstairs for now, and are really trying to drive home that her bed is for "night night time only" to promote better sleep habits. It's gone well so far - fingers crossed, knock on wood ;). As she gets older, it'll be fun to watch this room evolve with her.
B's room in our old house had a lot of modern pieces, but this time I wanted to bring in more character with pieces like a vintage rug and wooden toys. I even found an antique copy of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" on eBay! I love how much richness and interest these old pieces add to her room. There's a touch of history to each one, and it's like they're bringing their own little bits of wisdom and magic into her world.
I think the key to making a kid's room feel "designed" without being stuffy is bringing in more grown-up pieces (such as throw pillows, rugs, and baskets from the non-kid part of the store) to mix in with quirkier and more playful elements (vintage toys, pom-pom throw blankets, funky art prints, and children's books as decor). I love that trends like the boho look work so well with kids' rooms too! I shopped a lot of places like Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and Target's Opalhouse line for pillows, throws, and decor (all link details at the bottom of the post!)
I may have gone overboard with the pillows, but that's nothing new for me! The shape of the bed and the way it sits in the room reminded me of a day bed, hence the overkill on pillows. I've linked all those beauties below (minus the pom pom pillows - those are both sold out now sadly so I found a similar one from Anthro):
We kept her little rocking chair and reading corner the same, with the addition of a magazine rack my grandpa made that I painted pink to match the room. I love that the books literally surround her chair. The books I have on display are linked below!
I'm sorry in advance that a lot of this furniture isn't linkable! B's treehouse bed is on display at Wichita Furniture & Mattress if you're local (along with some awesome other kids furniture!), and we ordered her dresser and rocking chair 3 years ago when we did her nursery. Her pale pink comforter is also not online, but it's from our local (family-owned!) Ashley Homestore, and we love how light and cozy it is. I've linked similar pieces below for anything that's vintage, custom, or discontinued. Thank you as always for supporting the blog by shopping with my affiliate links!

Q: Is it ok to change a String value like this in Java? I thought you can't change the value of a String once it has already been initialized to a value? Well apparently I can in my program below.
public class Pekka {
    public static void main (String[] args){
        Person p = new Person("Pekka Mikkola", "040-123123");

        System.out.println(p.getName());

        p.changeNumber("000-0001");
        System.out.println(p);

    }
}

class Person {

    private String name, number;

    Person(String name, String number){
        this.name = name;
        this.number = number;
    }

    public String getName(){
        return name;
    }

    public String getNumber(){
        return number;
    }

    public void changeNumber(String newNumber){
        number = newNumber;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return getName() + "    number: " + getNumber();
    }
}

My output:
Pekka Mikkola
040-123123
Pekka Mikkola    number: 040-123123
Pekka Mikkola    number: 000-0001

So I can apparently change the value of the string number as many times as I want. How come? I can change the value of the variable "number" in the changeNumber method even though it has already been initialized? I thought Strings in Java once initialized can't be changed?

A: You can't change a String's value*, but you can assign a new, different String to a variable (unless the variable is final).
Your code is assigning a new String to the number variable:
public void changeNumber(String newNumber){
        number = newNumber;
    }

The old String isn't being modified - it's being discarded.
* Actually, there are ways to do this, using reflection, but it's not usually a good idea.

A: You are not changing the value of a String, but assigning your variable number to a new String.

A: Strings in Java are immutable in the sense that once a string is allocated, its value cannot typically be changed. However, the allocation that the variable points to can change.
For example, consider the following:
String test = "test";
Memory gets allocated on the heap to store the string "test". Now, if the following code is run:
test = "test2";
Then a new allocation is made to store the string "test2", and the variable test now points to that allocation. The allocated value of a String is not changed, but the variable can always point to a different allocation. The only way to make a String variable's value not possible to change is to declare it as final.

Stony Brook Football is Coming
Stony Brook football season is almost here! Get your red on and start the season off right by cheering on your Seawolves in their home opener against Bryant University on Thursday, August 29!
Purchase your tickets now
Catch up on what's new with the team:
Priore Tabs Fields as Starting Quarterback
After 15 practices and a pair of live scrimmages during the 2019 camp, the battle for Stony Brook's starting quarterback has been settled. Head football coach Chuck Priore has named junior Tyquell Fields as the Seawolves' starting quarterback for the season opener next Thursday.
Fields, who edged out fellow junior Jack Cassidy for the role as starter, enters his fourth year as a student-athlete at Stony Brook. After redshirting in 2016, Fields played in six games in 2017 as a redshirt freshman and logged time in eight games last season as a sophomore.
"It feels great. I've been waiting for this moment for years now," Fields said. "I'm just taking all of this in and enjoying the moment. I'll work hard for this team and lead this team to a championship."
White Leads a Talented Group of Running Backs into 2019
The Stony Brook football team's 2019 running back corps looks to be a formidable force come August 29.
Senior captain Isaiah White returns to the position he held as a true freshman after spending three seasons on the defensive side of the ball. He took a redshirt last season. During his freshman year, White gained over 100 yards in his first career game against Central Connecticut and also rushed for 82 yards against Towson before having his season cut short due to injury.
Joining White in the backfield is redshirt freshman Ty Son Lawton and sophomore Seba Nekhet . The trio will look to carry the bulk of the rushing duties for coach King, who enters his sixth season a Stony Brook and fifth as the RB coach.
"This is a very talented and very skilled group and we will be in a very good place by the time the season starts," said running backs coach Omar King.
Lifelong Friends and Teammates Lead Stony Brook's Cornerbacks
Since they were eight years old growing up in Yonker, N.Y., Stony Brook football defensive backs Gavin Heslop and TJ Morrison have been playing together on the same football field. This year will be no different, as the pair will lead the Seawolves cornerbacks into the 2019 season.
"The chemistry and history that those two have is infections in the room," cornerbacks coach Diamond Weaver said. "We really have a brotherhood and it starts with those two guys. They lead by example and it is not just on the field and in the film room, it's off the field too. I'm really happy with the chemistry we have overall as a unit and it starts with those two guys being in the front and having that relationship and history."

COVAX allocates 4.7 mln AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses to N.Korea

SEOUL, Nov 30 (Reuters) – The global vaccine-sharing network COVAX has set aside 4.73 million doses of AstraZeneca Plc's (AZN.L) COVID-19 shot for shipment to North Korea, one of the very few countries that haven't started vaccination, according to its allocation plan.
The plan follows an earlier offer for nearly two million doses of the shot that the reclusive state had rejected due to concerns over side effects, according to a South Korean think-tank. read more
South Korea's unification ministry which oversees engagement with the North said on Tuesday it appears detailed distribution arrangement has yet to be made, as COVAX continues to engage with Pyongyang.
The allocation is part of its plan to distribute 43 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine and Moderna's (MRNA.O) COVID-19 shot by the end of December, as COVAX aims to ship up to 1 billion doses in total this year.
Co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO), COVAX has since January largely allocated vaccine doses proportionally among its 140-plus beneficiary states according to population size.
North Korea and Eritrea are the only countries that have yet to start their vaccination campaign against CCOVID-19, according to the WHO.
North Korea has not officially confirmed any COVID-19 cases, a position questioned by South Korean and U.S. officials. But it has imposed strict anti-virus measures, including border closures and domestic travel curbs.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had said in June that the failure to implement measures to tackle the coronavirus had caused a "great crisis," according to state media.
By Nov. 11 North Korea had tested at least 45,564 people for COVID-19 with no positive results, according to the WHO.

We have been overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone involved. We would like to particularly recognize our reviewers as the reviews they have done, to a one, have been thoughtful, in-depth, and on point for the authors. The authors, in turn, have demonstrated their commitment to their papers by really digging in and taking the reviews to heart in their revisions. The result of this amazing collaboration between the authors and the reviewers is some truly outstanding articles and we are thrilled to share them with you.
We would like to acknowledge the work of our previous Managing Editor, Camila Gabaldon, who had the expertise needed to pull each of our six previous issues together. It is a tribute to her tenacity and commitment that PURE Insights continues today, and we are thankful.
Issue 7 has a little something for everyone. Our offerings in this issue come from Communication, the Natural Sciences, Gerontology, Anthropology, English, and Spanish. We have a couple firsts in this issue: our Spanish article, by Robin Perkins, is the first ever Spanish paper published in PURE Insights and we couldn't be prouder. And for the first time ever, we are including two of the Peter Sears Poetry Prize winners. Last, but not least, our intriguing cover design comes from our talented WOU 2018 graduate, Huang Zhiying, now a graduate student at the prestigious Pratt Institute's School of Design in New York. Clearly, WOUvians rock! Enjoy!

Airline Worker Obtained Passenger's Phone Number in San Diego, Then Harassed Her Via Text, Lawsuit Alleges
Posted 2:30 PM, January 14, 2020, by CNN Wire, Updated at 04:57PM, January 14, 2020
American Airlines passenger planes are seen on the tarmac at Miami International Airport in Florida on June 8, 2015. (Credit: Robyn Beck / AFP / Getty Images)
The texts came from an unfamiliar number. But the man on the other end of the conversation gave the impression that he knew her and could see her.
Ashley Barno says she was sitting in the San Diego International Airport in April 2019 when she got a text from someone asking how she was.
"I met you the other day at the airport," the person responded when she said she didn't recognize the number, according to copies of the texts that Barno's attorney shared with CNN. The man texted her that he worked for American Airlines.
"Btw I must tell you that you are gorgeous!" he added.
When Barno asked how he got her number and what his name was, the man insists she gave it to him and must have forgotten. His name is "Ahmad," he tells her. Later, Barno says he told her he got her phone number from a tag on her luggage.
"Ahmad" soon reveals he can see her, asking whether she is on the same flight to Chicago as he is. When Barno asks him to come say hi, he says he can't find her anymore.
"But you are looking very gorgeous in grey top today!!" he responds.
Barno is suing the American Airlines employee, who is unnamed in the lawsuit, over the encounter for sexual harassment, stalking and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is also suing the airline for negligent hiring, supervision and retention, as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In a lawsuit filed last week in San Diego County Superior Court, Barno alleges she complained to American Airlines about the employee and says she learned it wasn't the first time he had engaged in inappropriate behavior.
"American Airlines did not do a sufficient job in hiring and supervising employees to keep its customers safe from sexual harassment and stalking," the lawsuit reads.
American Airlines did not specifically address the allegations, but said the employee involved no longer works for the company.
"American Airlines takes the privacy and safety of our customers seriously. We investigated the allegations and took appropriate action. The employee involved in the complaint is no longer employed at American Airlines," the company said in a statement to CNN.
The employee was not on duty at the time of the incident.
Lawsuit alleges harassment continued after the flight
Before the flight took off, text messages show that "Ahmad" asked Barno for her seat number and offered her the empty seats next to him. In the lawsuit, she alleges he continued to text her even after she told him to leave her alone.
"Ok its up to you, but Friendship with me will be very beneficial for you!!," according to copies of the texts provided by Barno's attorney.
"I can always give you good seats, access to the lounges and free flights too!!"
"You can think about it!"
"But if its still a NO thts up to you I will not bother you again but atleast give me a one chance to prove my self!" he wrote in four separate texts, followed by, "And I am at row 15." The texts continued, "If you want to come and join me once the aircraft get airborne!"
He continued to send her a series of texts and finally sent her a bitmoji of a man holding a flower, with the words "Forgive me?"
Later, he sent her three more texts asking about her flight and whether Chicago was her final destination.
Barno alerted a flight attendant who "was helpful and nice and kind enough to make sure she got home OK," said Joe Samo, Barno's attorney, adding the same flight attendant told Barno they were familiar with "Ahmad."
When the plane landed in Chicago, he was escorted off the plane first, Samo said.
Samo said he and Barno are not sure of the man's identity and whether "Ahmad" is his real name. Calls to his number go to a Google voicemail, and the man has not responded to calls, Samo said. Barno is unsure when the man could have gotten her number from her bag tag or whether she had met "Ahmad" before the day she started receiving texts, Samo said.
The lawsuit alleges the man continued to contact Barno for a "long period of time." It accuses him of aggressively communicating with her to further his goal of sexual contact and alleges he sent her sexually suggestive images.
Because of the incidents, Barno had trouble sleeping, eating and socializing with her family and friends and had to seek professional help, the lawsuit alleges.
"Basically, after this happened, her sense of privacy is heightened, her concern about who has her number and now she is concerned when she has to give it out," Samo said. "She is nervous when she is alone and has to travel for work."
An initial hearing for the case has been set for June later this year, court documents show.

Internal Security, Poverty Eradication and Inclusive Growth In Nigeria
Dr. Dan Mou
KEYWORDS: Internal Security; Poverty eradication; Inclusive Growth; Nigeria; Social cleavages; and National Poverty Eradication Commission.
After the scraping of the National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP), contrarily to the advise of the Stephen Orasanye Committee, which had recommended merger with the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), to create a National Empowerment and Employment Agency, there is no poverty eradication, job creation and inclusive growth Agency or Commission or a Federal Ministry of Poverty Eradication and Social Inclusion at the national level in Nigeria that can assist in the task of implementing the N500 Billion approved in the 2017 National Budget. Moreover, such a Ministry, Commission or Agency must device ways of training the recipient in some marketable skills that will enable them get jobs immediately and be taken off the welfare programme. In this Policy oriented paper, a strong case is made for the creation of such a Federal Ministry or an Agency or Commission. It must be noted that with seventy one percent (71%) of Nigerians currently in poverty, creating such a Federal Ministry of Poverty Eradication and Social Inclusion to handle their case, is not just necessary but even an imperative. We further discuss also why and how it shall succeed where others had failed. The only alternative we see is a situation where as the security, economic, political and social crises intensify, Nigerian Government, even if it is simply for its self-preservation, will be forced by the objective conditions, to move drastically against the interests of the dominant classes and groups. These are the ones that have captured and hijacked economic, political and social power for their exclusive use, and are not eager to promote inclusive growth, nor poverty eradication, and job creation, on a serious note.

Following 0-3 drubbing in South Africa, Australia's search for finisher continues

Australia's head coach Justin Langer has stated that Australia is on the constant lookout for a match-changing finisher in the ODI format. In the absence of the same, they are struggling for consistency. In South Africa, Mitchell Marsh was sent in at No.6 in the second and third ODIs and delivered average returns with scores of 32 and 36.
Previously, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis have occupied the number six slot, but without too much success. Of the recent experiments, wicket-keeper Alex Carey has been the most successful in the finisher's role. He batted at No.7 for most of 2019 and registered impressive scores of 71 and 85 in the 2019 World Cup.
According to Langer, Australia, like most teams, need a finisher who can perform a role similar to what Jos Buttler does for England. "We've been fortunate in the past with a Mike Hussey or a Michael Bevan who are masters at it. Dhoni is a master of it. Jos Buttler has been brilliant at it for England," Langer was quoted as saying in an ICC report as Australia departed from South Africa following a rare 0-3 whitewash.
"What I've learned is everyone in the world is looking for it," Langer added on the importance of a prominent finisher. Australia's next assignment is the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, beginning on March 13. It will provide the think-tank another opportunity to build a strong middle-order and zero in on a finisher.
According to the Langer, the New Zealand series provides a good opportunity for players to grab the finisher's spot, and make it their own. "So it's a role that's there for someone to grab hold of. No one at this stage has absolutely secured it, have they? But there are good opportunities there for someone to do that," he explained.
While Australia was handed a 0-3 defeat by the Proteas, New Zealand will be confident having whitewashed India in the ODIs and Tests. The Aussies though will start as favorites as they have often got the better of their Trans-Tasman rivals, especially at home. Not too long ago, Australia had trampled the Kiwis in a completely one-sided Test series. It remains to be seen how much South Africa thrashing affects Australia though. Apart from Marnus Labuschagne, no one scored a hundred in the ODIs. Among the bowlers too, Pat Cummins' four wickets as Australia's best in comparison to South Africa's Lungi Ngidi picking up nine.

In our latest webinar, HealthInvestor UK's editor Rob Munro was joined by Catherine Davies, managing partner of Monticle and Gabrielle Silver, chief executive of CHS Healthcare.
Traditionally the relationship between public and private sectors in healthcare has been less than perfect but the tragic events of the Covid-19 pandemic have seen the two sides come together and work in new and innovative ways.
From providing extra bed capacity to re-purposing production lines to manufacture ventilators and PPE, to developing and deploying cutting edge medical technology, businesses and entrepreneurs have demonstrated their ability to support health and social care providers across the sector. But will this lead to a permanent shift in how we view the role of business and investors in the delivery of publicly funded services or will the old ideological battle lines be redrawn in the post-Covid world?

The Kenya Chemical and Allied Workers Union (Kcawu) has already obtained the services of an auctioneer, who will start attaching EAPCC property upon expiry of the notice.
The auctioneer is seeking to recover Sh1,401,585,364, which is the amount being claimed by more than 400 workers covered in the 2013–2015 CBA.
East African Portland Cement's #ticker:EAPCC properties are set to be auctioned to recover Sh1.4 billion owed to workers following the firm's failure to fully implement a collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
The auctioneer will be seeking to recover Sh1,401,585,364, which is the amount being claimed by more than 400 workers covered in the 2013–2015 CBA.
"It did not therefore matter whether EAPCC explicitly stated the full category of workers covered by the negotiations so long as it was understood that the negotiations covered union members of that particular cadre unless the contract staff were expressly excluded in the CBA," said the appellate judges.
The appellate judges added that EAPCC's argument that there were separate negotiations for non-management workers, some of whom were on contract and others not, does not hold sway and must fail.
Labour Court Judge Hellen Wasilwa had earlier ruled that payment of trade union dues is what makes an employee a member of a trade union.
"It is clear that members paying trade union dues are members of the union and therefore covered by the CBA negotiated whether permanently employed or on contract," Justice Wasilwa.
The manufacturer of Blue Triangle cement brand had conceded that the dues paid to staff on contract are different from that paid to staff who are permanent employees though unionisable.
The reason EAPCC advanced for this was that putting the wages on the same level is unsustainable and if implemented it would require Sh71.3 million per month which funds are not available.
The firm added that this can lead to redundancies being undertaken, which can lead to loss of employment of over 632 contract staff.
Justice Wasilwa, however, said that by conceding that they are paying staff on contract less than those on permanent basis, EAPCC have breached the terms of the CBA.
EAPCC and Kcawu have negotiated CBAs since 1961. However, the contract employees were not covered by the CBA until 2011.
