Q: Scrapy Splash formrequest.formresponse, - stuck at identifying formdata for dynamically loaded page The problem:
I want to extract data from said URL. I wrote fully functional code in selenium. I want to use scrapy for better performance in terms of time. But, I can't go ahead with present code. I get "None" in return. So I am blocked at first stage. No way to go ahead!
What I tried:
This and this and this. Almost all answers point to setting some values manually. But in the said case, it seems impossible! Or may be I am missing something and if I understand that, I can set some values manually, some through xpath and some I can leave blank.
Interestingly, up to the point where I want to extract data right now (data table with certain dates defined in the table form for each units (districts)) doesn't need javascript. I mean the data still gets populated if I click the search button (in browser) even if the javascript is disabled. But then, that can not be replicated in scrapy. So, I also tried going without splash. The exact error mentioned in that question by me is now solved with help of comments and answer. I shared the link here to see my efforts without splash.
My Code:
import scrapy

from scrapy_splash import SplashFormRequest, SplashRequest

class ExampleSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'example'

    script = '''
        function main(splash, args)
          assert(splash:go(args.url))
          assert(splash:wait(0.5))
          return splash:html()
        end
    '''

    def start_requests(self):
        yield SplashRequest(
            url='https://citizen.mahapolice.gov.in/Citizen/MH/PublishedFIRs.aspx',
            headers={
                'Referer': 'https://citizen.mahapolice.gov.in/Citizen/MH/PublishedFIRs.aspx'
            },
            endpoint='execute',
            args={
                'lua_source': self.script
            },
            callback=self.parse
        )

    def parse(self, response):
        yield SplashFormRequest.from_response(

            response,
            formid='form1',
            formdata={
                '__EVENTTARGET': "ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ddlDistrict",

            },
            callback=(self.after_login),
        )

      def after_login(self, response):

By Vikram Srivats, Vice President, WaveMaker
Enough has been said and written about the effect of the pandemic in hyper-accelerating the shift to digital – for enterprises and consumers alike. This is one widely accepted fact we can note and move on from.
The combination of low-code development and BaaS APIs are enabling more companies than ever to add banking services to existing apps and products
However, another rising wave has been afoot for a few years now – something that Bain Capital Ventures (BCV) thinks is far greater than the Internet, Cloud, and Mobile combined (yes, you read that right) – with a projected market value of $3.6 trillion by 2030. BCV heralds this wave as the Fourth Platform: financial services in an embedded (or integrated) form within technology-driven businesses.
Andreesen-Horowitz (a16z) and CB Insights talk about this being the banking industry's "AWS moment", with new Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) players offering all (or parts of) the banking stack as-a-service for a new crop of fintech and tech-driven brands. a16z further predicts that every company will become a fintech company – embedding finance across digital and traditional brands – by leveraging offerings from BaaS providers.
Embedded finance and BaaS are two sides of the same coin. Brands and fintech offer embedded financial services to consumers and businesses while BaaS providers are the suppliers and enablers for those brands and fintech.
Two trends collide to form one massive opportunity
With the pandemic driving a tectonic shift to online, virtual, and instant gratification, embedded finance allows brands and disruptive new financial products to gain and delight customers, increase share-of-wallet and create stickiness. From a customer standpoint, the financial experience is in the moment, contextual and seamless within the brand experience – to the extent that the finance is almost invisible.
For example, think of Apple – which now offers a credit card backed by Goldman Sachs – or Shopify – going above and beyond by offering embedded payments, balance accounts, and loans to aspiring e-commerce businesses. With the likes of Amazon, Google, Doordash, Chime and Affirm, the list of embedded finance and BaaS-powered use cases and players is growing rapidly.
This growth is primarily fueled by a whole slew of capable BaaS players – Synapse, Treasury Prime, Stripe, Marqeta, Bond, Finastra, Railsbank, Solarisbank, Unit, Galileo, BBVA Open Platform, GPS, and many more – offering differentiated and compelling technical and financial propositions. These BaaS players in turn have partnerships with one or more banks and offer APIs (sometimes a single API) for a brand or fintech customer to call and access the offered financial service via the API.
In a way, things have come full circle – from the software powering financial services (core and engagement platforms) at FIs, we now have banking subsumed into software and offered via APIs.
BaaS APIs are becoming the new currency in the world of financial services
With this BaaS revolution going on in the background, the low-code market has grown exponentially, with more than 100 platform providers – with different specializations – competing for market share.
Microsoft, Mendix, OutSystems, and ServiceNow are some of the leading players while there are specialist challenger firms more focused on specific personas (professional developers, citizen developers, and business process users) and target areas (apps, workflow, automation, analytics, and so on).
To say that low-code adoption was propelled further by the pandemic is an understatement. Whether for businesses urgently wanting to digitally transform or for more advanced corporations, low-code has comfortably hit its stride as a new paradigm in software development.
Now, with over 2,000 fintech launched in 2019, the rise and maturity of BaaS offerings and differentiated embedded finance use cases/opportunities, and a world where APIs rule, developers are now the first customers of the banking and financial services capability stack.
Brands and fintech, banks and third-party software developers, independent software vendors, and system integrators need to find, attract, hire, train, mentor, motivate, manage and drive world-class development teams to deliver business outcomes.
They must do all this in the face of non-trivial challenges:
Talent wars in a field of wider opportunities as business lines blur and career options abound for software developers.
Walking the fine line between investing to build a truly high-quality product that customers will love, yet balancing cash burn and ROI.
Navigate a web of technology choices for every aspect of the tech stack, including most importantly, the BaaS vendor stack itself.
Be prepared to execute quickly – and pivot on a dime – to get ahead of the market in an extremely competitive, dynamic, and fast-paced environment.
A breed of developer-friendly, open, API-driven, modern, enterprise-grade low-code platforms could be the answer. Here is how:
Serious B2C and B2B2C digital experiences at the speed of change – delivered using visual full-stack development with pre-existing widgets, themes, styles, and layouts – while still playing well with existing assets, best practices, and architectural choices.
Significantly cut development (specifically UI) cost by reuse – Lego-like composable experience development by dragging and dropping custom-built, rich multi-API widgets – "prefabs" – that combine powerful functionality, pixel-perfect UI, and data.
Democratized and collaborative development – Citizen developers build out experiences based on user journeys and hand them to pros to make apps "enterprise-compliant"; or in a B2B2C context, expert developers build out the core app which is then extended and customized by less-skilled professional services teams.
Deliver on tough innovation problems – convert teams to full-stack development, become agnostic to tech stack changes, handle custom UI demands through app lifecycle, move B2B customers to a self-serve model, and more.
Peace of mind guaranteed – apps built are performant and secure, the tech stack is modern and future-proof, deploy anywhere without lock-in, generated code is "real" code that can be exported and extended (as an insurance policy), easily available, low-cost skills for writing custom extensions, no price tag for scaling up apps/app objects/app end users and such like.
In 2020, Microsoft cited research predicting that more than 500 million new apps will be built in the next five years, which is more than the total number of apps built in the last 40 years, even as companies struggle to find software developers. According to KPMG, despite the overall market softness in H1 2020, H2 rebounded and saw almost $72 billion in fintech investment (across PE, VC, and M&A deals). Klarna, Revolut, and Chime raised mega rounds north of $500 million each. KPMG goes on to predict that embedded finance will emerge as the *new North Star* in fintech.
Low-code development layered on BaaS APIs may be embedded finance's hockey stick moment
Embedded fintech and low-code development are massive scale markets in their own right. The next 1,000 or 10,000 fintech, FIs, and brands that deliver embedded financial services will need to be laser-focused on their customers and business to compete and win. Agility, automation, and reuse will underpin composable enterprises and personalized experiences, and modern, powerful low-code platforms already are delivering complex, compelling and contextual experiences for discerning development and business teams globally.

WaveMaker v10.8.0 is out!
Team access to artifact repository, improved workflows for artifact publishing, prefabs versioning, and more
WaveMaker 10.8 brings capabilities and features that harness the power of artifacts and prefabs on the WaveMaker low-code platform–especially for teams. Prefabs are custom widgets that can be reused across projects within a team. With this release, the platform consolidates its strength on prebuilt software components by making collaboration across teams faster and easier to manage.
WaveMaker continues to enable enterprise IT teams, ISVs, and all stakeholders to co-create value faster and better with low-code.
Teams - Together and Transparent
Artifacts in Teams
Artifacts are reusable components that can be developed and maintained independently. Various components such as prefabs, project shells, template bundles, and themes come under the umbrella of artifacts on the WaveMaker low-code platform. V10.8 allows the sharing of a central repository of artifacts in teams promoting collaboration between team members.
Team members can view a list of all available artifacts providing clear visibility. Developers have complete access to the repository of available components and are free to choose the artifact version that suits their requirements best. This in turn makes activities such as documentation, maintaining change logs, and version control of artifacts a seamless process.
A new and improved flow
Artifact approval
With 10.8, developers creating and using artifacts across teams and projects can manage their workflows seamlessly. Consider a scenario where a developer publishes an artifact and waits for approval from the team admin. The admin can then review the artifact on the team portal and approve the same, making it accessible for all developers to use or reject it and send it back with changes.
Not just that, the same prefab or artifact can be versioned multiple times with each version visible to all team members. Developers can search and view available prefabs under projects, teams, or system prefabs and import specific versions into the projects.
One component, different forms
Support for specific prefab versions
Different projects can use different versions of the same prefab with a scope for upgrading. Developers can choose versions that suit their requirements with the help of changelogs and get real-time notifications of newer versions. Minor patch updates on prefabs can be published independently using branch support. Development teams can update patches and upgrades seamlessly without disrupting the existing environment and projects.
For ISVs, having access to the latest versions of artifacts is of great value. This allows for both forward and backward compatibility with respect to prefabs with minimum disruption. With every new update, WaveMaker continues to bring developers together, fostering collaboration, and helping them build powerful applications.

Leveraging low-code for API-driven development
Create, publish and consume APIs effortlessly with WaveMaker low-code platform
Digital transformation is no longer a buzzword. It has become a way of life for enterprises that want to stay in business. In the current post-pandemic era, business maturity is being evaluated in terms of digital maturity. The road to digital adoption has many emerging technologies in force but working silently behind the scenes and aiding this rapid acceleration, is the unseen 'super glue' of all business services – Application Programming Interfaces (API). Technically, APIs have been around for two decades at different levels of operability but it is only in recent years that there has been an explosion of sorts in the usage of APIs.
The demand for multichannel experiences and the everything-on-cloud approach has accelerated the use of APIs. Whether it be composable architecture or microservices, APIs enable the kind of business collaborations that were unheard of before. The partnering of transportation services with a bank, retail shops with payment apps, and banks offering investment opportunities, loans, currency transactions, and payment services on an e-commerce platform have all been made possible by the growth of APIs. Similarly, offloading certain business tasks to ecosystem partners and liberating internal services from silos has been fueled by the synergy between APIs.
API-driven development
API-driven development is the practice of designing and building the API contract first and then developing the application around the contract. Also, known as the API-first approach, this paradigm involves the front-end developers building mocks around APIs and creating refined end-user experiences. In parallel, the back-end developers implement the underlying logic of the APIs.
Dedicated test suites are created around these APIs and, in a way, they foster the idea of test-driven development. In an API lifecycle, the API Publisher designs and deploys the API whereas the API Consumer discovers and integrates the APIs. Each of these roles has multiple functions associated with them and those functions define the characteristics of the API.
API Management with WaveMaker low-code platform
WaveMaker is an open standards-based, developer-centric low-code platform built for modern development practices. The platform enables app developers to play the role of an API Publisher and API consumer. The platform has a natively integrated component called the API Designer which is used to ease the process of designing, creating, and consuming APIs.
API- first approach: With WaveMaker, a REST API is generated automatically for every service that is imported. These APIs are available for consumption as well as modification through the API designer that can be used for:
Exploring the various APIs generated by the platform
Testing the APIs
Customizing APIs generated by Java services
API Generator: WaveMaker generates standards-based REST annotations for the above services which can be consumed by API tools for generating documentation using the API generator. The design of these auto-generated REST APIs can be updated further by configuring their description, visibility, method types, and parameter types.
Open APIs: The platform generates core REST APIs endpoints using Swagger/Open API compliant contracts for database services, Java services, web services, custom code business logic, or even third-party imports. It also to generates UI functionality for Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations for REST APIs which conform to Open API specifications. Integrating an existing REST endpoint with any of the 100+ UI widgets offered by WaveMaker is also straightforward without writing a single line of code. Open API helps WaveMaker apps consume other WaveMaker APIs enabling applications within an enterprise to talk to each other.
API Security & Testing: Security is auto-enabled for an application that can be viewed in the API designer. API security is ensured by securing it with role-based access within the enterprise. API endpoints are also OAuth protected. Once the REST APIs are defined successfully, they can be tested with the "Test" tab. On successful testing, APIs are published along with the applications.
Legacy APIs: APIs are invariably REST-based but there remain big remnants of legacy SOAP-based APIs. WaveMaker automatically creates a REST API endpoint for the SOAP services that are imported into an application thus enabling the reuse and modernization of legacy technologies.
WaveMaker offers an API-driven development platform with:
On-premise/dedicated API management platform
Rapid delivery of APIS through auto-generation for databases, services, and legacy services
UI abstraction over APIs
OAS 2.0 compliance
Flexible API publishing
Fine-grained API control using policy templates
Robust API security using OAuth
Ability to modernize legacy applications by using SOAP APIs
A developer-friendly low-code platform abstracts the complexities of API management and provides UI-based connectors to work on the endpoints without having to hand-code. WaveMaker scores high on effortless API creation and management with an API-driven approach and an in-built API designer. The platform's inbuilt adherence to the rules of the API game and its innate ability to convert any service as an API makes the job of all stakeholders so much easier.
APIs have become an inherent part of software building. Programmableweb (API directory) had a listing of mere 54 APIs in 2005.

The Quileute (also known as the Quillayute) are a Native American people located in La Push, Washington, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The Quileute Tribe have lived in this area for thousands of years and used to be whalers. The Quileute http://www.quileutenation.org have built a tourism industry for those interested in whale watching in the spring; surfing, fishing, and hiking in the summer; and storm watching in the fall and winter.
The Quileute tribe is run by their own government inside the United States, which consists of a tribal council with staggered 3 year terms.
Quileute folklore, which is very much alive, holds that they descended from wolves. This has been the basis for several popular series of novels and a series of movies based on the premise that the Quileute are actually werewolves.
Their primary language is English, and there are only a small handful of native speakers left.
Pray for Quileute to come to a saving knowledge of their Creator.
Pray for Quileute to find their identity and their place in Christ.
Pray for Quileute believers to be bold in their witness and to have a good testimony.

MN.26.10.2000. Last Media Network Show on the Radio
This was the final Media Network audio show of all, broadcast in October 2000 just before we went back to winter time. It was really a thank you to the audience for sharing so much time with us over 2 decades. We certainly had worked out the pace of the programme by that time - and I believe it's strength was that it was a true listener participation show. It wasn't live - it was alive. Don't worry, there are still more programmes in the Media Network collection. It just seemed appropriate to issue them now as Andy Sennitt is retiring from Radio Netherlands, and the Media Network weblog will close on March 24th 2012.
The final programme contains a rather comprehensive survey of the media events surrounding the Falklands Malvinas conflict of April 1982. Remember Radio Atlantico del Sur? We also looked at black propaganda stations in Asia, notably those along the Soviet-Chinese border.


Home-cooked company lunch, courtesy of our wonderful office manager, Shamiran.
Ordered a Livescribe 2GB Pulse Smartpen on Amazon. Saw one at TechShop in a class a couple of weeks ago, very very impressed. Read about it, compared options, pounced.
No milk for coffee. Bah. Gird loins, grab keys.
Get milk. Get coffee. Get more boxes from JDM. Get lost in The Granary and acquire the makings for a really spectacular quilt that will match our bedroom. Stop by the vet and ask about alternatives to pilling Booster, who has figured out We HateZ PillZ. Home. Water garden.
Go to TechShop. Build a Barebones (Modern Device) Arduino: apparently soldering circuitboard kits is much, much easier than PL-259 connectors and AMP serial pin connectors, which have comprised the bulk of my soldering experience previously. Oh. I put the socket in backwards. Lovely board– doesn't fry chip. Instructor pulls chip, inserts chip other way. Board happy. Yay.
Home. Shower. Dress up. Pack an overnight bag. Drive to SF with spouse.
Dinner at Fog City Diner. Overnight at Harbour Court Hotel. Late check-in, upgraded to a suite with a view of the Bay Bridge. A bottle of Merlot and a box of chocolates have been left for us, with a "Happy 11th Anniversary" card. Lovely evening drinking wine, watching lights and water, celebrating.
Up early, laugh, sleep in, check out. Sunny walk along the water to organic and delicious brunch at Town's End. Must go back, often.
Muni ride to Embarcadero, cash up, ticket up. Ride a car that never was on the F-line: PCC in Brooklyn livery; no pre-war cars in that livery, sorry.
Long walk uphill to Museum of Craft on Sutter Street. Marvelous Max Kahn exhibit. Stunning 2.5D canvas work of 1994 – present juxtaposed with flat work from the 1960's; Kahn's roots have borne rich, strange fruit.
Obligatory shared single truffle from teuscher. Raspberry Cordial. Mmmmm.
A brief foray into Uggs Australia to inquire after the mythical Mini Classic. It has been discontinued and sent to the outlets. There will be No More. Sadness. "Would you like me to check the outlets on my computer and see if anyone still has your size? They're probably discounted since we stopped making them except in kids sizes." Two pairs located, my size, mail ordered, for about $25 more than a single pair would have cost. Happiness.
Long, pleasant walk to MOMA. Brief pause at Peet's for refreshment. Cool summer drink card now full, free drink next time. Jasmine Lime tea much nicer than imagined.
Georgia O'Keefe, Ansel Adams: Affinities. A special exhibition, and today is free admission day. Huzzah. Absolutely compelling. Took many notes. Closed out museum. Closed out gift shop.
Walk back to Steuart Street. Dinner at Ozumo. Magnificent! Best SF dinner I have had since I moved here in 1991. Chocolate fondue for dessert.
Drive home. Return 24 hours and 15 minutes after having left. Cuddle cats. Feed cats. Cuddle cats more.
Check web comics. Check Making Light. Find pointer to Gunnerkrig Court; lose an hour, boom.
Things aren't usually this busy, but it's nice sometimes.

Q: OneLogin for Java: how to handle different environments? I assume this must be a common scenario, but I need to support SSO/SLO in different environments using different domains. Currently I solve this by using multiple properties files:
onelogin.saml.dev.properties
onelogin.saml.uat.properties
onelogin.saml.prod.properties

In reality though, all settings are exactly the same except for the domain names. For example:
onelogin.saml2.sp.assertion_consumer_service.url = https://dev.myapp.com/SsoAuthentication
onelogin.saml2.sp.assertion_consumer_service.url = https://uat.myapp.com/SsoAuthentication
onelogin.saml2.sp.assertion_consumer_service.url = https://www.myapp.com/SsoAuthentication

Is there a way to use one file and just specify the environment, or root domain to use ?
Thank you,
Simon

Q: Silverlight Mac microphone volume I've got an SL4 application that (among other things) captures audio from a user's microphone and plays it back.  It all works reasonably well on a PC, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to work correctly on our test Macintosh.  For one thing, it seems to ignore the AudioCaptureDevice.AudioFrameSize: I've set it to 20 ms, which means that at 16000 samples per second, it should return 640 bytes 50 times per second.  Instead, my AudioSink.OnSamples() is consistently called with a 1024 byte array 32 times/second.  Odd, and annoying, but I can correct for that.
The bigger problem is that the audio I'm capturing is very, very quiet.  When I'm capturing audio on my PC, and I tap on the webcam that's the source of the audio, I get samples in the +/- 10,000 range.  However, when I'm capturing audio on my test Macintosh, and I tap on the webcam, I get samples in the +/- 100 range.  If I record anything on the Mac's webcam microphone and then play it back, I effectively can't hear anything at all.  (I'm using an MS Lifecam HD-5000, if that makes any difference.)
I know that the webcam's microphone is working, as it works just fine with Skype.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this? Anybody else run into similar issues?

A: In general setting input volume on mac is not quite user friendly :(
I'd suggest switching to SoundSource or MuteMyMic - both allow to adjust volume directly from Status Bar.

A: Turned out to be a stupid configuration issue that I should have checked first.  For some reason, OSX had initially set the webcam's microphone to "0" out of 10.  Not sure why, but as soon as I went to System Preferences / Sound / Input, and adjusted the Input Volume, the webcam microphone started working as advertised.

Ontario Tories destroy Laurentian University and the Northern communities it supports
Defending Student Rights
The news out of Laurentian is devastating. Unfortunately, the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) process that Laurentian was forced into by the government -- with an all too willing administration -- was always going to result in this kind of destruction. The CCAA process has been entirely inappropriate in its application to this public institution.
Bringing private sector processes to the public sector has been the dream of Liberals and Tories for a long time. The restructuring of post-secondary education in Canada has been heading here for years. The attack on higher education started with the reduction of public supports for higher education in the 1990s. Then came increasing tuition fees, exploiting the international student market, the marketizing of university funding, commercialization of university research, corporatization of the university operations, and now the application of harsh private sector insolvency legislation to get rid of valuable academic programs.
The Liberals and Tories do not understand what universities are for and what has happened to Laurentian is the result. And, the consequence of decades of trying to force universities to become private sector actors have become very clear. Unfortunately, there is unlikely a single Tory (and only a few Liberals) who are going to be feeling bad about this result. The layoffs, restructuring, and gutting of this public institution is what the private sector levers of "efficiency" are designed to do.
The more that there is compartmentalization of the public sector into independent arms (like non-profits and "independent" and "publicly assisted" institutions) the easier it is to apply private sector tools to suppress wages and costs.
The mean-spirited aspect of the Ford government's anti-intellectualism and open vitriol against academics and the job protections necessary for their work has also contributed to the timing of this outcome.
When we say the private sector cannot provide public services, this is what we mean. Public services require public funding to make it through crises, or they will be ratcheted down exactly when people need them most. Applying this kind of private market mechanism means that public institutions exacerbate private economic crises instead of acting as a counter weight to them.
We should not be fooled, Ford's Progressive Conservative government has caused this to happen. It is not an accident. The only solution is to pass legislation that does not allow the application of CCAA and similar processes designed to put capital (or, in this case, simply money) first. And, to provide adequate and sustainable funding to public institutions.
The student and worker organizations have been saying that it is inappropriate for the CCAA process to be applied to universities. That is very true both on a social and economic level. The impacts of this restructuring can only save public money, but it is the public who are negatively impacted by the restructuring. The result is a net zero outcome for the payers of higher education, but wholly negative for the communities, workers, and students affected. It is a private market-style crisis with no silver lining of savings for stakeholders. It is unclear who the government thinks benefits from such a situation other than those ideologues who want to see a reduction in government spending generally.
The nature of academic work makes it difficult to see the impacts of this kind of attack. But, private sector workers who see this kind of thing more often will be able to spot the effects immediately. Instability is the hallmark of the private market and the enemy of long-term planning. It is impossible to learn, study, and research at a high level of quality in such an environment.
The negative impact on students and the economy of Sudbury will have short, medium, and long term effects that are not all obvious right now. Jobs in the short term, but it is clear that culture, language, community, and local economic activity will be negatively affected.
The promise is that government services – like higher education – will be built-up during crises so that communities can weather the destructive forces of capitalism. The current economic, social, and health crises have exposed this truth. Adequate public protections for the nastiness of the private markets is simply necessary for all workers and communities to survive. Unfortunately, Laurentian is yet another example of the failures of this government to provide those supports for the people of Ontario.
The hope is that out of this crisis will come a renewed urgency to build understanding of what a university is and why certain job protections are necessary for that institution to function properly. And, by extension, the need for an expanded investment in sustainable public services.

Here's the second in our series on finances for the elderly, particularly after a diagnosis of dementia. This material has been provided for us by Heidi Paris, Outreach Coordinator for an extraordinary website called Fiscal Tiger. While this site offers financial advice for virtually anyone, we found its coverage of issues of importance to dementia patients and their families particularly useful. Heidi has graciously given us permission to repost this information, so that's just what we're in the process of doing. Have questions? Heidi suggests you contact tim@fiscaltiger.com.
Care costs are inevitable when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia. Though some care situations will vary, certain needs are universal. Through the use of the patient's assets and financials, or financial assistance, family members or those advocating for them should have an idea of what can be afforded in terms of budgeting.
Medical care: One of the aspects of care will include medical care. Prescription drugs, hospital visits, doctor visits, imaging, tests, and regular medical intervention will be needed for a patient living with dementia or Alzheimer's. There will be many follow up visits, treatment, and medical equipment involved throughout the care process.
Personal care supplies and home modifications: Personal care supplies and home modifications are needed in order to make life as independent as possible for as long as possible. These items include stools, grab bars, ramps, walkers, commodes, etc. Modifications are similar in need and may be required in order for the patient to get around in their home safely.
Adult day care or in-home care services: Senior homes and retirement housing come in all shapes and sizes. Some retirement communities offer day care or in-home services instead of the traditional full time residential care option.
Full-time residential care: Full-time, long-term residential care options can be extremely helpful for dementia patients in later stages especially. With so many safety concerns, it can be best to have medical professionals with them at all times. Some of these facilities specialize as Alzheimer's and dementia care.
Care costs aren't cheap, so assistance in covering some of these costs is valuable. For patients with some financial backing (as discovered by going through the complete list of financial documents to be organized), paying for care on their own and with the assistance of medicare or other benefits can leave the patient and their family at ease. However, not all Alzheimer's and dementia patients will have a strong financial backing to help.
Medical debt can be a burden in many ways, so it's helpful to understand your assistance options, know your medical debt rights, and the resources available when finances are strained as a result of medical need. Through the the use of health care, medicare, life insurance, medicaid, veterans benefits, and state funded programs, patients can have financial assistance in getting the care they need.
Health Care Coverage: There are many different options under the umbrella of health care coverage. No matter what type of health insurance you have, chances are there is some sort of coverage for the medical costs associated with dementia and Alzheimer's. However, knowing that for sure involves looking into the private insurance policies in place. If the patient doesn't have insurance, it's important to look into other assistance available as well as how to pay hospital bills without insurance and how to negotiate a repayment plan.
Medicare: According to the Alzheimer's Association, Medicare should cover inpatient hospital care, doctor's fees, some prescription drugs, some home care options, hospice, and wellness visits. If the patient qualifies for Medicare, it's important to apply for this assistance in order to get the most financial help for the care that will be needed.
Life Insurance: Understanding the different types of life insurance policies can be confusing, but some life insurance policies can be used for patients who are still alive. For some, life insurance can be borrowed against to help pay for care. Some policies offer accelerated death benefits in which benefits can be paid if the insured person is not expected to live beyond the next six to 12 months due to a terminal diagnosis.
Medicaid: If a patient does not qualify for Medicare, or qualifies for both Medicare and Medicaid, many aspects of care needed by patients with dementia may be covered. Medicaid does cover all or a portion of nursing home costs, which is a giant expenditure in terms of care costs for those with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Veterans Benefits: If the patient is a veteran, or the spouse of a veteran, there are benefits available that may be able to aid in cost for dementia and Alzheimer's care. Benefits you receive as a veteran can be supplemental to private insurance. Discussing additional benefits as a veteran with the VA may provide even more support for care costs as some may qualify for help with in-home or assisted living care as well.
State Funded Programs: Each state has a different set of programs that are funded to help people in need. Looking into your own state and the help that might be available could be supplemental to any private insurance, veteran benefits, etc. that the patient already has.


Does anyone know the purpose of Memorial Day?
General Orders No.11, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 1868 "The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land (CALLED DECORATION DAY). In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
It is important that we pause from time to time to remember what makes this country so great, and to honor those who have given their lives for our FREEDOM. Take time tomorrow to honor those who have served in the Armed Forces. They secure our freedom from Tyranny as well as our Freedom to Worship the God of the Bible.
We should also remember what and who has really had a hand in making our country great, and that is our Lord God Jehovah. Some would say that America is great because we Bless the Jews. But I say America is Great because it honors' God's Word.
I want to quote from a sermon delivered on May 27th, 1730 by Rev Thomas Prince, a Puritan pastor. He was remembering the 100th anniversary of the Puritans coming to America.
Thomas Prince (1687-1758), A Sermon Delivered at Cambridge Before the Great and General Assembly of the Province of the Massachusetts, May 27th 1730. Being the Anniversary for the Election of His Majesty's Council for the Province. By Thomas Prince, M.A. And one of the Pastors of the South Church in Boston.
Pastor Prince said that the Puritans came to New England for religious liberty, not economic reasons. Prince's sermon also called for government acknowledgment of God. This sermon was preached before the Massachusetts legislature.
I want to read his first four points.
1. When there at any time arise, either in the civil or ecclesiastical order, MEN of eminent wisdom, goodness, power and usefulness among a people of GOD, we must consider, it is the LORD their GOD, that made, accomplished and raised them up, and this in special favor to that particular people.
2. That when such a people are in a remarkable manner brought out of the hands of those that vexed them, to a place or state of ease and liberty; the gracious conduct of the LORD their GOD, is herein to be religiously observed and acknowledged by them.
3. It behooves such a people so treated of GOD, to remember all his signal operations, both of judgment and of mercy, both to them and their fathers, to view them as acts of faithfulness and righteousness to them, and consider the special and great obligations arising from them.
4. And lastly, it becomes their public teachers to remind them therefore of all these things, and from thence to reason with them before the LORD about their answerable carriage [i.e., behavior] towards Him.
"And here I cannot forbear observing, that there never was any people on earth, so parallel in their general history to that of the ancient ISRAELITES as this of NEW ENGLAND. To no other country of people could there ever be so directly applied a multitude of Scripture passages in the literal sense, as to this particular country: that excepting miracles and changing names, one would be ready to think, the greater part of the OLD TESTAMENT were written about us; or that we, though in a lower degree, were the particular antitypes of that primitive [early] people.
However, I'm sure, that upon the present occasion, I may justly turn the text into a like address, in the Name of GOD, to this Great and General Assembly, comprehensive both of rulers and people of every order; and say–"It is the LORD that advanced your primitive civil and ecclesiastical LEADERS, and that brought up your FATHERS out of the land of their affliction; now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD, of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which He did to YOU and to your FATHERS!
And how extremely proper is it, upon the close of the FIRST CENTURY of our settlement in this chief part of the land, which will now within a few weeks expire,* to look back to the beginning of this remarkable transaction, and first commemorate the righteous and signal works of GOD towards us, both in our own days and in the days of our fathers; and then consider the great and special obligations they have laid upon us, with the nature of our carriage towards Him for the time past, and our interest and wisdom for the future.
And here we must own, that very many have been the wondrous WORKS which the LORD our GOD has wrought for us: they cannot be reckoned up in order before Him: if I would declare and speak of them they are more than can be numbered. We may now therefore only touch on some of the most material; those of the most important, public and comprehensive nature.
And he goes on to list some of the mighty works God did in establishing the commonwealth of Massachusets from 1630-1730. You could never do that in Massachusetts today. They would boo you out of the legislature.
Not only did God work to form the United States, but He moved in the hearts of men to do so. Our founding Fathers honored God, they Honored God's Word, and that made America Great.
"The highest glory of the American Revolution, said John Quincy Adams, was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIANITY." comments Adams made in a July 4, 1837 oration.
For the first 250 years of our existence God's Word determined the conduct of self-government in homes, churches, and civil society. God Blessed America because our forefathers built their nation with reliance on Him and His Word, and because God had a Gospel purpose for our nation.
But today we have forgotten our Bible Heritage and only the skeleton remains. We say HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN ONLY TO GOD. YET ANY HONORED GLORY THAT OUR NATION HAS IS BECAUSE WE SUBMIT TO AND HONOR OUR CREATOR GOD. AS WE DO NOT FORGET OUR UNKNOWN FALLEN, NEITHER SHOULD WE FORGET OUR GOD.
We as a Nation have turned away from the authority of God and His Word. I believe we have BLINDERS on our eyes, and we refuse to see the HANDWRITING ON THE WALL. I believe America is trodding on dangerous ground. We have forgotten our GOD.

Millibeth Currie
Women In Charge: Engineering Women's Lives (at Moultrie Middle School)
2014 Winner for Community Counts Award
About Community Counts Award
Engages the whole community, including students, parents and local stakeholders, to make learning relevant.
Provide an overview of the project, practice or product that your video represents, and how your work encompasses the principles and ideals of the award that you're applying for.
I created Women in Charge: Engineering Women's Lives twelve years ago to enable female students to engineer the life they dream by uncovering their future in science, technology, engineering, and math! Women in Charge engages the whole community, including students, parents and our local stakeholders. Women in Charge implements a unique program through connections to STEM research and working with community professionals. They see how STEM fits into the real world to solve real-world problems. Women in Charge provides access to the world by linking them with leading professionals through a series of investigations.
Imagine studying pulley systems by climbing a 40 foot tower, learning computer programming from Google programmers, being invited to study area technology companies' business plans, working alongside researchers saving our endangered Spartina grass, hearing from a parent about her engineering in aviation, scrubbing in with female surgeons, watching surgery, even working with a university DNA Learning Center! WIC makes learning relevant! As I enter my thirteenth year directing Women in Charge, I am especially proud of the many ways I have connected my students with our community.
Explain the long-lasting impact of what you've presented in this video, and provide any qualitative or quantitative data that supports this impact.
After reviewing the video I am amazed with the volume of community involvement supporting our students. That support has had long lasting affects. When I work with college students who are entering the field of education they ask for advise. My advice: ask for help from your community and watch the magic happen. Our leaders are eager to fill the pipeline with well-prepared citizens for the technology-based workplace. They welcome our members and are thirsty to show them their potential.
Many of our members entered the pathway to become scientists. One such student's comment was in the video describing how she didn't know what engineering was until Women in Charge led her to understand she wanted to become an engineer. I have concluded students' aspirations toward careers in STEM are likely to influence both their course selection. Many girls unknowingly let math and science knowledge slip away from them, thereby eliminating many future opportunities for personal and professional growth. Women in Charge aims to counteract the possibility of achievement gaps opening up and limiting the students' future.

Will a mother's search for the truth about her son cost her the two children she has left?
Jackie Rose is a mother on a mission. Determined to prove her eldest son did not commit suicide, she enlists the help of her best friend's husband, Homicide Detective Charlie Cooper.
Reluctant to reopen another team's case, but even more reluctant to upset his wife, Cooper and his partner Joe Quinn investigate. They soon discover Jackie Rose is right – someone's killing kids. The deeper Cooper and Quinn dig, the more they realise everyone has a secret to hide. Can they find the killer before more young lives are lost?
As Jackie struggles to cope with the circumstances surrounding her eldest son's death, a new threat emerges. Her ex-husband, unhappy with the effect of the case on the family and concerned Jackie's becoming increasingly unreliable, wants to take their remaining two children to the other side of the country. Will Jackie's fight to clear her son's name cost her the two children she has left?
Part police-procedural, part domestic thriller, Dark Secrets is the third in Catherine Lee's page-turning Dark Series. It tackles the difficult themes of bullying and teenage suicide, but at it's heart it's another rollercoaster murder mystery with a kick-arse detective team and a twisting plot that will keep you guessing until the end.
Pick up Dark Secrets to read Cooper and Quinn's latest adventure today!
Jackie Rose is convinced that her eldest son Lachlan did not commit suicide. Lachlan was only seventeen. But when the police investigating the case advise Jackie that Lachlan's death has been officially ruled a suicide, Jackie is reluctant to accept it. Jackie enlists the help of her best friend Liz's husband: Detective Charlie Cooper. While Cooper is reluctant to investigate another team's closed case at first, he doesn't want to upset his wife. So Cooper and his partner Joey Quinn start looking at the case and soon form the view that someone is killing kids and making it look like suicide. Who? And why?
In the meantime, Jackie's preoccupation with Lachlan's death is causing her ex-husband Marcus concern. He's worried about the impact on their other two children, Ethan and Emma. Especially after Jackie forgets to pick Emma up from school and she goes missing. Will Jackie's increasing unreliability cause her to lose her two remaining children?
The action shifts between Cooper and Quinn's investigation into a number of teenage deaths that have been ruled suicide. The deeper Cooper and Quinn dig, the more secrets they uncover. Cyber-bullying is a factor, but will Cooper and Quinn be able to put all the pieces together before another teenager dies?
I couldn't put this novel down. Ms Lee has written a fast-paced novel involving the sad and tragic issues of teen bullying and suicide, and on some of the consequences for family members where relationships breakdown. How do families cope with the death of a child? How do children address and survive bullying? Ms Cooper maintains tension throughout novel as the story moves between Jackie's personal issues and the police investigations. At the same time, the characters of Charlie Cooper and Joey Quinn are further developed, and Charlie Cooper has his own family responsibilities to consider.
This is the third novel in Ms Lee's 'Dark Series'. I will now wait as patiently as I can for the fourth novel: 'Dark Chemistry' (which is, according to Ms Lee's website, due in July 2017).
The best by Catherine yet.
I connected with her characters right away and feel like I got to see more of Quinn in this story. I really enjoyed his character in this book. The subject matter is so hard but very real and this story kept my emotions on edge as I worked through this mystery with Cooper and Quinn.
I think this is what I love the most about Catherine's books. I follow the journey with the characters. I can sit back and be sucked into their world and weave through the tale with them.
I loved seeing the return of Andy from book 1, even if was just a small bit. It makes the world of Cooper and Quinn more real.
This story kept me on edge from start to finish. It left me so emotionally charged afterwards and I haven't felt that way in a long time.
Thank you, Catherine, for another brilliant story. I can't wait for the next instalment of Cooper and Quinn.
Dark Secrets is the third instalment in this great series by Australian Author Catherine Lee. She uses her local knowledge of Sydney and surrounds to great effect again in this crime drama that deals with bullying and the social issues around it. The pace is quick and the twists and turns will keep you guessing 'who done it' until the end. The novel continues to expand on the Cooper and Quinn universe, their relationship, their backgrounds, family life (or lack thereof) and the circumstances surrounding their partnership are all explored - leaving you wanting more. Presumably this will occur in the forth instalment of the 'Dark' series which I cant wait for.
4.0 out of 5 starsA must read for any parent with teenage kids.
The third book in the Cooper and Quinn mystery series is a very intense novel. It deals with a number of issues that are, either totally or to a large extent extent, taboo in our society.
At its core the book deals with teenager suicide (or is it murder?), and more particularly about the effects that has on the remaining family members. Other issues are bullying, teenagers struggling with their sexuality, the after effects of a relationship break-up, exclusion of teenagers that do not conform, parental pressure on kids and the devastating effects that can have, social media use of teenagers, an extreme career focus leading to parental neglect, to name just a few.
All of these issues could easily lead to lecturing, but fortunately the author has avoided that trap and deals with it in a very objective manner.
In spite of all these social problems, the novel is not gloomy at all. There is a positive and caring tone throughout with friends helping each other out, Jackie going out of her way to aid a lonely teenager, loving family dynamics, teenagers prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect their loved ones.
A must read for any parent with teenage kids.


London is preparing to host the 2012 Summer Olympics and it's giving some of the country's long ago athletes the chance to look back and remember.
Lionel Price was a member of Great Britain's Olympic basketball team in 1948, the last time his country hosted the Summer Games.
He's now 85, and while the sport still hasn't caught on in a major way in the U.K., Price has fond memories of his Olympic experience.
He also kept whatever memorabilia he was given back then.
Today, there seem to be dozens of "game worn" 1992 Michael Jordan Olympic jerseys out there. If you see more than one 1948 Olympic basketball jersey from Team England, you know they're fake. Lionel Price has the only one issued, he says.
He showed off his well cared for stuff, and chatted about the experience with Channel 4 in London. Read the story–and watch the video.

What Is The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit? [Whitney Tilson]
Whitney Tilson recently teamed up with Tom Carroll to shoot an event called The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit.
As the name suggests, they were talking about investing in Marijuana companies. The key message that came out of it is that there is a big movement happening in the stock market that makes now the perfect time to invest in pot stocks.
I attended the summit and put together this article to give you an overview of what they discussed.
What is The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit?
Who is Tom Carroll?
How does The Cannabis Capitalist work?
Is The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit legit?
My Final Word on The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit
The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit was an event featuring Whitney Tilson and Tom Carroll that was moderated by Jared Kelly.
The crux of the event was that this is the perfect time to consider investing in pot stocks because, according to the panelists, the market is starting to mature. What do they mean by this?
Tom Carroll says that the cannabis market has not yet matured. Therefore, although there is genuine investor interest, stocks, even the big ones, are still subject to wild swings. He says that the market has been going through phases of growth and he has divvied them into four 'eras'.
The first era started in 1996 when state governments started considering legalizing pot for medical use. The market was small and restricted. Then the second era began in 2010 after legalization ceased being a pipe dream. The push to legalize was gaining traction in some states and companies started mushrooming.
The third era came in 2015 after some key states, including California, legalized pot for both medical and (in some cases) recreational use. Interest grew in the world of investing and some companies started soaring. But Tom believes that the market wasn't mature yet because the excitement dwindled and many stocks plummeted.
But now he claims that the market is ready to go mainstream, just like Cryptocurrencies have. He pegs this on four catalysts:
The first catalyst is companies gaining access to the US financial system and markets. As legalization at the state level continues to gain steam, he expects legal pot companies to be allowed to access lines of credit at local and national banks.
The second catalyst is access to the main stock exchanges. When cannabis stocks access NYSE and NASDAQ, institutional investors will be able to grab stakes in them, which could cause their prices to go up. So far, American companies have either had to list on foreign stock exchanges or trade over the counter.
The third catalyst is consolidation. Once companies secure access to the stock market and lines of credit, Tom expects the larger ones to start consolidating the market. Small well-run companies will be acquired at a premium, which will be good news for investors.
The fourth catalyst is pick and shovel companies. As the industry grows Tom expects companies that service the market to grow exponentially. This includes companies that provide packaging, labeling, and distribution services, just to name a few.
He has written a report explaining his perspective and it also has the names of four companies that he has singled out as good candidates for investment. The report is called The 2021 Cannabis Explosion: Four Stocks You Don't Want to Miss.
If you want to get your hands on it, you have to subscribe to his newsletter that goes by the name Cannabis Capitalist.
Tom is a professional trader and an investment guru who works for Stansberry Research. He edits the Cannabis Capitalist newsletter. Stansberry is a publisher of investment newsletters, just like Investorplace and Banyan Hill Publishing.
Before he started writing newsletters, he was working in the corporate world. He was employed at Legg Mason and then Stifel Financial in Baltimore where he worked as managing director for close to two decades. He was the senior analyst of the healthcare industry.
He has made appearances as a commentator on Fox Business, CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg, and other publications.
As we've already seen, when you sign up for The Cannabis Capitalist, you get to receive a special report from Tom about the cannabis industry.
Tom has been publishing this advisory service since the start of 2019. He focuses on the cannabis market and shares investment recommendations on the same with his readers.
When you sign up, you receive:
12 monthly newsletters as part of your subscription. Each has a new investment opportunity to consider.
The Cannabis Capitalist Playbook. Tom has listed all the stocks in his portfolio and has given updates and trading instructions in the report.
The Cannabis Capitalist Primer. It has details regarding the industry from Tom's perspective. He looks forward to how the industry may shape up and how investors can cash in.
The annual subscription fee is $2,500
There are no cash refunds but you can cancel your membership within 30 days of joining and redirect the subscription fee towards any other service offered by Stansberry Research.
I think The 2021 Empire Cannabis Summit is legit. First, Whitney Tilson and Tom Carroll are professional traders with decades of experience working in the finance industry. Besides that, I don't think there is anything wrong with them talking about their approach to investing in cannabis.
That being said, you should take their advice with a grain of salt because nothing in the market is guaranteed and all investments have risk.
One thing I took away from the summit that I haven't touched on is how Tom Carroll talked about Federal legalization. He said that the Democrat-led government would be great for the Cannabis industry but that he wasn't sure about nationwide legalization.
This part is important because he believes that this will encourage institutional investors to take the cannabis market seriously. And given how Bitcoin has fared due to institutional interest, he sees it benefiting similarly.
About Tom's newsletter, before you subscribe, do more research about it because once you pay $2,500, that fee is non-refundable.

Couple in Lincoln City standoff suspected of Montana robbery
LINCOLN City — The police chief in the Oregon coastal town of Lincoln City says a woman who fatally shot herself after an hours-long standoff with police, and a man who was injured by a police car had both been sought in the armed robbery of a Montana coin shop.
Chief Keith Kilian said the woman shot herself shortly before 9 p.m. Friday. She had been holed up in a vehicle with a handgun for hours, surrounded by the Oregon State Police SWAT team and officers from multiple agencies.
The chief says the man hit by a police car earlier Friday was flown to a Portland hospital for treatment.
In Montana earlier this week, Butte-Silver Bow County Sheriff Ed Lester said warrants had been issued for Dale Edward Wallace and Sarah Jo Johnson, both 30.
Lester said the two were suspected of pointing a large-caliber handgun at the owner of Coins N Cards in Butte on Monday, tying him up and stealing five guns, cash and collectible coins.
The shop owner, who is in his 70s, was able to get out of his restraints and call for help.

Should the Police find it nessacery the engine can be immobilised via a remote command sent from the monitoring centre to the BMW Cat 5 tracker allowing the safe & speedy recovery of your BMW vehicle.
Vehicle theft is an unfortunate fact of modern living and the ever increasing levels of sophistication in car/key theft mean you don't always know who is around the corner. Vehicle theft is as inconvenient as it is distressing and there is a strong possibility that, without a Cat 5 tracker fitted to your BMW, your vehicle may never be recovered!
A subscription payment is required on this device with installation, please choose which you require from the options below.
Thai is the 3rd install these guys have done for me and I'm never disappointed. Highly recommended.
Very cool bit of tech. I've purposely driven without the tags and it does work. I'm suitably impressed with the system and the price was very good too. I'll be in touch reference the Ghost. Thank you and well done on a top job well done.
Didn't really want to spend the money but the insurance insisted. Spoke to these guys who simply took care of everything while I did nothing other than send one email. Very good company.
I came across Safe & Sound while searching on the web. It was obvious from their website that products were competitively priced and from the moment I spoke to Mark it was apparent they had extensive knowledge too. We arranged to have the product installed which went very smoothly with the engineer coming across very friendly. The product seems to work well when I forget my tag so I'm sure it will if the car is ever stolen. Thank you.
This company really are a cut above the rest. Very professional service and pleasant to deal with. Work was carried out as and when we agreed and I was very happy. The engineer was very approachable and we swapped many stories of holidays. Take my advice with the camera!! Thank you.
Perfect transaction and easy dealings. Came to my work to do the installation, it was done within a few hours and the relevant documents were emailed to me. Very happy with the tracker and the service. Would certainly recommend and use again!
Both me and my business partner needed these systems fitting to our new motors. We contacted Safe & Sound who did us a deal on the two of them. The engineer arrived on time and and did both installations within the 6 hours they had estimated. The certificates our insurance needed were in my mailbox before the engineer left! The company did everything they said they would and I would have no hesitations about using them again. The tracker seems to work well and I just hope neither of us will ever need to use them to their full potentials!! I've copied Simons review - Hope that's ok ha ha.

Perfect from start to finish. Begrudged the price tag but I know it's for the best and you were cheaper than most.
Cracking bit of kit that gives me great peace of mind. Highly recomended.
From start to finish the service I received from Safe & Sound was first class. The tracker was explained to me and how it would work. As it was an insurance stipulation rather than a desired purchase I did not fully understand what was involved for such a hefty price tag. Now I do and I have to say it gives me great peace of mind knowing how well the driver ID tags work as I regularly forget them. Mark, please would you contact me about the wifes car please ASAP.
