Look What I Found: Arthur Hailey in Alberton, Montana
Look What I Found is an occasional series on books I've hunted-and-gathered at garage sales, used bookstores, estate sales, and the occasional pilfering from a friend's bookshelf when his back is turned. I have a particular fondness for U.S. novels written between 1896 and 1931. If I sniff a book and it makes me sneeze, I'm bound to fall in love.
You are driving west on I-90, the ribbon of road that unrolls the landscape for you between Missoula and Spokane. It is mid-morning and you are pressed for time, hurrying to arrive in Spokane for that city's annual book festival. You can't wait to Get Lit! That night, there will be an event you are certain to love: Pie & Whiskey, featuring a dozen writers (including Anthony Doerr, Sharma Shields and Sam Ligon) who will read flash fiction about, yes, pie and whiskey. The audience, meanwhile, will be enjoying a slice and two fingers of the same. You hurry along I-90 because you can already taste the sweet sting of bourbon and blueberry pie on your tongue.
You are not so rushed, however, that you don't have time for a detour.
The billboard calls your name. Every time you drive this stretch of interstate--which is often--you are summoned. About 25 miles outside of Missoula, the billboard pops up on the right:
100,000 Used Books
Montana Valley Book Store
Next Exit Then Right
You are helpless, powerless. You are the metal shaving and the bookstore is the magnet. You are Han Solo piloting the Millennium Falcon caught in the tractor beam. You are the puff of lint facing the vacuum.
You put on your turn signal for the next exit.
When Kenneth Wales was murdered by his son-in-law in 1981, he may not have had 100,000 books in his stores in Pennsylvania and Montana, but the total number was likely far north of what the average used bookstore has on its shelves--certainly a lot more than most readers who came through the front door of his bookshops had in their home libraries. That is why Kenneth Wales was there at that place and that time: to give shelter to homeless books as they waited--sometimes years--for the right owner to come along at the right time. Like most owners of used bookstores, Wales ran the literary equivalent of an orphanage: lives once loved, then abandoned, then living each day waiting for the right someone to come along, with equal measures of hope and crushing disappointment.
Wales opened his first bookstore in 1966: Gwynedd Valley Bookstore outside Philadelphia in an eight-bedroom Victorian house that held both his books and his family (wife and nine children, including Keren, the current owner of Montana Valley Book Store). But how did Kenneth come to own 100,000 books weighing roughly 84,000 pounds? It began with boxes of God, as this 2003 Missoulian story notes:
Kenneth worked as a land surveyor and settled his family in Missoula in 1952 after a hunting trip to Montana. They built a house in Pattee Canyon and bought land in Sawmill Gulch in the Rattlesnake Valley. The first three of the nine Wales kids were born in Missoula.
Kenneth's discovery and embrace of Christianity landed the family in Elkins Park, Penn., where he went to Faith Seminary. Combing garage and estate sales for theology books, he brought home boxes full.
"Pretty soon, we had 15,000 books in the garage," Keren Wales said. "We couldn't park in the garage anymore."
As he and the rest of his family put their time into making the Gwynedd Valley Bookstore a success, Kenneth made frequent trips around the country and over to Europe, gathering books like a squirrel harvesting nuts before winter. In 1973, on a trip back to Montana, Wales discovered Alberton--then a busy railroad town--and bought a building located on the main street. The 1910 structure, listed on the National Register of Historical Places, was a meat market until the late 1950s. The twenty-six rooms, Wales decided, would be a perfect home for his extra boxes of books. "For five years," the Missoulian article reports, "(the family) traveled back and forth, bringing out books, building shelves, organizing. They opened in March 1978, becoming a two-store operation with several thousand miles between the enterprises....When Kenneth Wales was murdered in Pennsylvania in January 1981, Keren was the logical one to take over the store."
Each year, Keren goes through about 100 boxes of her father's books, sorting and pricing and keeping the shelves populated with fresh arrivals.
According to an American Profile story, six to eight million people drive by Alberton on the interstate each year, and the billboard Kenneth Wales placed there thirty-odd years ago keeps bringing them in.
Your turn signal is still clicking as you approach the main street of Alberton (pop. 420) and you flick it off with the embarrassed realization that the exit off the interstate hadn't been sharp enough to deactivate the blinker. Someone driving behind you was probably thinking, "Turn already!" But when you glance to the rear view mirror, no one is there. The road behind and ahead is empty. Few people are being lured off I-90 into the tiny town this morning.
You pull up onto the shoulder of the street and park opposite the late Ken Wales' shrine to used books. "One hundred thousand," you whisper in the stillness of your car. You can practically taste the dust motes of literature on your tongue. You are ready to start sneezing in happy little fits, as long as you are surrounded by old books--both good and bad (because, yes, there's some pretty awful writing residing in this old folks' home for wayward and forgotten books--yellowing Dan Browns are there right alongside the equally-faded Sisters Bronte).
You walk across the street without looking in either direction (no need), step across the bookstore's cat mascot, and enter the store. It's a relatively small space--no bigger than, say, the shoe department at your local Wal-Mart--but every inch of retail real estate is taken up with a beautiful jumble of spines, dustjackets, and rain-swollen pages. Shelves and shelves and shelves of books--maybe not 100,000, but enough to keep an earnest browser busy for hours. Shelves to the left, shelves to the right, shelves towering fifteen feet in the air--so high that each nook has its own stepladder to assist the adventurous in search of the Flaubert perched at the summit of the F-G section. A friend of yours once said of the store: "I swear the load-bearing walls in that place are made of books."
Even the promise of pie and whiskey and the Get Lit! literary fellowship waiting for you in Spokane can't make you hurry at this point. You are here to get lost.
The store is empty and you are alone with the cat which, after rubbing once or twice along your ankles, decides you are not the petting kind and trots to the rear of the store and disappears, squeezing past a half-cracked door marked "Private." The cat has it wrong, however: you are normally a petter of fur; it's just that you're a little distracted this morning. I mean...BOOKS!
You dive in.
Does anyone these days remember Arthur Hailey?
Wikipedia stakes the claim the author sold more than 170 million copies of his novels in 40 different languages: "Four of his books reached No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list (Airport, Overload, The Moneychangers and Wheels), with Airport alone spending thirty weeks in the top spot."
Ah, perhaps now his name rings a bell. Airport, Wheels, Hotel, The Evening News--those are familiar titles (at least for Readers of a Certain Age). Hailey wrote big, multi-character novels full of plots and sub-plots that wrapped around each other like threads of a rope. Each book was set in a particular industry (auto factories, airlines, hospitals, hotels, banks) with the aim of being a forensic analysis of the various occupations which made up that corporation. He was a darling of the Reader's Digest Condensed Books series. Critics may have dismissed his novels as "potboilers," but Hailey laughed all the way to the bank. He was so successful, even his wife wrote a book called I Married a Best-Seller (1978), which included this description of the titular writer: "temperamental, ruthless, sensitive, impatient, emotional, unreasonable, demanding, self-centered, excessively hard-working, precise, pig-headed, fastidious, fanatically clean, maniacally tidy."
The stiff, cardboard construction of Hailey's characters and plots was so notorious, part of his obituary was devoted to the subject:
Reviewing The Evening News (1990) for The Daily Telegraph, Martha Gellhorn, under the headline "Wooden Prose" complained: "it tells us everything at least three times. Solid-wood dialogue is tailor-made for the mechanical characters who, in turn, tell each other what they are doing at least three times…This is not a book you cannot put down; it is a book you can hardly hold up. It will sell in millions and be translated into 34 languages. Possibly it is more readable in Icelandic or Urdu."
No matter the quality of writing, Hailey's novels were engrossing, methodical dissections of big corporations, meticulously picking out the cogs and springs and levers--laying them all out on the table for his readers to examine. He was the James Michener of the industrial world. "Research is like a woman's slip," he explained to one interviewer. "It's necessary, but it should never show. I realize I get a bit carried away, and mine sometimes does show." His obituary writer, getting into the spirit of things, returned the favor: "A trim, lean figure, with a natty line in clothes and an enthusiasm for expensive cars and yachts, Hailey flossed his teeth three times a day, and brushed them for 2½ minutes after every meal."
You roll the stepladder into position and climb to the heights of the H section. The cat watches from below, rubbing its cheek against a leg of the ladder.
You have seen something: a title, a memory, an obsession. You reach overhead for the book--white dust jacket, bold black letters--and pull it down to eye level. On the cover designed by Paul Bacon, the "O" of "Moneychangers" is a bank vault door. It looks like a gold coin. It is your prize this afternoon in a small Montana bookstore.
Its neighbor on the shelf is the chromatic opposite: the black-jacketed Wheels. Before you step down the ladder, you grab it and add it to your Hailey haul.
The books are a time capsule and you are hurtled back through wars and presidencies and recessions, to a year before the internet, before phones were smart and books ran on batteries, before the wrinkles on your face, the flab around your belt, and the grey salting your hair.
You are 13 years old and you are at your first paying "adult" job: assistant librarian at the Teton County Library in Jackson, Wyoming. Your official duties include going through the stacks, volume by volume, ensuring books are in order (alphabetically by author's last name in the fiction section, numerically by Dewey decimal in the non-fiction section); picking up the debris from toddler-tornadoes in the children's section, reshelving stray books and collecting non-book items (sticky lollipops, forgotten stuffed animals, the occasional swollen diaper hidden behind a line of Berenstain Bears books); dusting shelves (especially thick in the Medieval Philosophy section, but particularly light in the Human Sexuality section); checking in books and checking out books at the front checkout desk; and carrying so many armloads back and forth from the front desk that you wonder why your chest and arms aren't the size of Charles Atlas', but remain the frail, concave frame of the perpetually-teased skinny kid.
Your unofficial duties: sneaking off to quiet, hidden nooks within the stacks to read books: Nancy Drew, biographies of movie stars, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (*But Were Afraid to Ask).
Teton County Library
Holding these two Arthur Hailey books in your hands while standing in the narrow canyons of the Montana Valley Book Store, you are taken back to that log-cabin library with its shag carpeting, plastic plants, orange-leather chairs, and hidden-treasure diapers. Your nose fills with the smell of book glue, dust, burnt coffee and the ghost of wood smoke which always rises from the books of one regular patron--a heavily-bearded man who wears lumberjack shirts and appears to have broken off his relationship with a comb years ago--when he brings them back to the library.
You remember the day you borrowed The Moneychangers from the library, checking yourself out at the front desk with that little rubber stamp with the wheel that turned the due-date numbers (two weeks from today). You remember thinking two weeks was not enough time, but somehow you'd rise to the challenge. You remember taking the book home, the 436 pages weighing heavy with promise the entire three blocks from the library to your house on the corner of Glenwood and Kelly streets. You remember opening the novel, eager to enter the world of "Money. People. Banking." Then, as now, you read the first paragraph:
Long afterward, many would remember those two days in the first week of October with vividness and anguish.
It was on a Tuesday of that week that old Ben Rosselli, president of First Mercantile American Bank and grandson of the bank's founder, made an announcement--startling and somber--which reverberated through every segment of the bank and far beyond. And the next day, Wednesday, the bank's "flagship" downtown branch discovered the presence of a thief--beginning a series of events which few could have foreseen, and ending in financial wreckage, human tragedy, and death.
Apart from a scene near the end of the book where a bank teller, kidnapped and blindfolded in the trunk of a car, memorizes all the turns and distances so she can later tell the cops where the bad guys are hiding, you don't remember much about the actual plot or characters (who, your older, cynical self whispers, remembers the qualities of cardboard?). What you do remember is how the book made you feel. Immersed, transported, hooked.
At 436 pages, The Moneychangers was a long book--perhaps the longest you'd read in your 13 years--but you stuck with it to the end, feeling like a marathon runner when you crossed over the last page. Maybe you even did a little fist pump of triumph.
Looking back, you think about how this was probably your personal Ground Zero, the moment this lifelong obsession with reading and, ultimately, writing truly began. With The Moneychangers, you turned into a professional reader. It wasn't just a hobby anymore, it was a job--the happiest of jobs you could ever have in the whole wide world.
You hold the books, one in each hand like two paper bricks, and you silently thank the ghost of Arthur Hailey for the gifts he gave you 38 years ago. Then you walk to the back of the store where you find an unattended cash register perched on a small counter crowded with books waiting to be inventoried and shelved. You ring the small silver bell and standing there smiling as you wait for someone to come out of the back room to take your money for The Moneychangers.

Nitrous Oxide During Labor Can Be Costly : Shots - Health News Nitrous oxide is making a comeback for pain relief during childbirth. But charges for the option vary from free at some hospitals to thousands of dollars at others.

Bill Of The Month: $4,836 Charge For Laughing Gas During Childbirth Is No Joke

Karli-Rae and Christopher Kerrschneider play with their kids, Eleanor and Leviathan, in their front yard in Baldwin, Wis.
Nurse midwife Karli-Rae Kerrschneider wanted the same supportive birth experience she promises her own patients — and that included the use of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, to dull her discomfort.
The delivery of the gas during labor has come back in vogue in the U.S. in the past few years as a less invasive alternative to an epidural administered by an anesthesiologist.
With a tank in the hospital room, a woman in labor can take breaths of the gas as she needs it.
"Nitrous doesn't take away the pain so much as make you not care about it," Kerrschneider said, noting its mild euphoric effect.
Kerrschneider had an epidural for the birth of her daughter in 2016 and didn't like being immobilized and confined to her bed during labor. For the birth of her son last December, she opted for nitrous oxide at Hudson Hospital in Hudson, Wis.
The labor was long — 11 hours — but it went just as she'd hoped, with no complications and great care from a nurse midwife and doula. Being able to take puffs of nitrous was empowering and "took the edge off" as she moved around and spent time in the bathtub during her contractions. She estimated she breathed in the nitrous 10 to 15 times an hour in active labor.

Charges for nitrous oxide during labor and delivery haven't been standardized.
She and her husband, Christopher, welcomed their son, Leviathan, on Dec. 19.
"It was amazing," she said. "I would do it all over again."
Then the bill came.
Patient: Karli-Rae Kerrschneider, 32, a certified nurse midwife who lives with her husband and two children in Baldwin, Wis. She has insurance through Medica, which her job at Western Wisconsin Health provides.
Total bill: $11,890 for the hospital stay, including $4,836 for the nitrous oxide.
Service provider: Hudson Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital in Hudson, Wis. It's part of HealthPartners, a nonprofit regional health system and insurer based in Bloomington, Minn.
Medical service: Kerrschneider had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery attended by a nurse midwife and a doula. Her water delivery was followed by a two-day hospital stay for her and her newborn. Her only pain relief during her labor was the nitrous oxide.
What gives: As hospitals have adopted billing practices common in other businesses, more and more of their services are billed by the minute — for example the time a patient spends lying in the recovery room after surgery, the time a cancer patient spends receiving a drug infusion or the time a patient is hooked up to heart monitoring.

May2019botm (Text)
Kerrschneider was charged for 39 units of nitrous oxide, or about $124 for every 15 minutes the tank was in her room after a nurse showed her how to use the gas. The billing for nitrous continued whether or not she was using it. After almost 10 hours, the charges amounted to $4,836.
"I think it's ridiculous that they charged so much," she said, pointing out that she didn't even have IV pain relief. "I can buy my own machine for that."
Share Your Story And Bill With Us
If you've had a medical-billing experience that you think we should investigate, you can share the bill and describe what happened here.
Kerrschneider even joked with her husband that for that amount of money she could have had the baby at home, bought her own nitrous oxide machine and rented it out to other people afterward. Well, she was close. A new nitrous oxide delivery machine retails for around $6,500, and tank refills cost less than $50, according to CAREstream America, a company that sells the equipment.
Judith Rooks, a retired nurse midwife and past president of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, helped popularize the use of nitrous oxide during childbirth. Rooks said that while she was appalled to hear of the hefty bill, she wasn't entirely surprised.
"There is no transparency or standardization," Rooks said, noting that charges can vary widely for nitrous oxide during labor.
Part of that problem comes down to the recent resurgence of the practice in the United States. In 2011, two hospitals in the U.S. offered nitrous oxide for childbirth. Now an estimated 1,000 hospitals and 300 birthing centers provide it, said Michelle Collins, a professor and director of nurse midwifery at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing.

Nitrous oxide is used as a noninvasive way to dull labor pain. Patients breathe a mix of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen.
The use of nitrous oxide has long been common during childbirth in the United Kingdom and Canada, in part because of its low cost. Many people in the U.S. have learned about the practice while watching the popular British period drama Call the Midwife, set in the 1950s. Epidural anesthesia largely displaced nitrous oxide in the U.S. in the 1970s.
Typically (and safely) overseen by nurses who teach women how to breathe into the mask, nitrous oxide is commonly billed at a flat fee — anywhere from $100 to $500 for access to the machine and gas. Sometimes hospitals charge for the mask, usually around $25, Collins said. Laughing gas itself is very cheap — it costs about 50 cents an hour during labor, she said. Sometimes hospitals don't charge anything for it at all.
But billing can change if nitrous oxide is administered or supervised by a physician or nurse anesthetist, which means the intervention can be assigned an anesthesia code.
Kerrschneider was charged under this method, contributing to her higher bill. This raised red flags for Kerrschneider because an anesthesiologist wasn't present during any part of her labor at the hospital, a fact that led her to question her bill.
Hudson Hospital said in a statement that the anesthesia category is the one it uses to bill for that service, noting that "the billing category is broad and does not necessarily indicate that an anesthesiologist or a certified registered nurse anesthetist performed a service." For comparison, though, Hudson Hospital charges only $1,495, on average, for an epidural, according to its communications office. That's less than a third of the cost of the nitrous.
"I've seen these ridiculous bills for birth — I can't believe anybody pays them," Rooks said. "That's completely out of step with any kind of actual cost, but so is pretty much any bill that comes through."
Resolution: When Kerrschneider saw she had been billed for anesthesia, she called the hospital repeatedly about the coding, wondering if the hospital had accidentally charged her for an epidural. She protested further when she discovered the high charge was simply for nitrous. She knew that the hospital where she works charges a flat fee of about $100 for the same thing.
Kerrschneider's insurance company, Medica, said it refused to pay the $4,836 she was charged for nitrous oxide costs, citing "provider responsibility." That means that Medica did not specifically judge the charge for nitrous to be too high but that it had an agreed-upon rate for childbirth with Hudson Hospital and total charges can't exceed that amount.
The hospital knocked the nitrous oxide charge down to the one-hour rate of $496 — still almost five times what Kerrschneider's own hospital would charge.

Kerrschneider eventually gave up and accepted the reduced nitrous charge since she didn't want to further antagonize people in the region where she also works as a nurse midwife. Altogether for the care she and her son received for his birth, she was on the hook for deductibles and copayments that totaled $3,635. She paid it.
"I was just tired of dealing with it," she said. "I had a newborn. I was breastfeeding, and I didn't want to have it hanging over my head anymore." Still, she was appalled that an uncomplicated birth could end up costing so much. "How many people have given birth at this hospital and have paid it in cash or whatever just because they didn't know?" she asked.
The takeaway: Nitrous oxide used during labor and delivery does not have a standardized charge or code, which is surprising considering that there are medical charge codes for just about everything — including being pecked by a chicken or getting sucked into a jet engine.
Prices and billing methods for childbirth can vary widely among hospitals. Some hospitals may offer a price that includes items like an epidural, use of a birthing tub, breastfeeding education and nitrous, if desired and needed. Others will charge for each item — sometimes a lot and sometimes by the minute.
Kerrschneider said she didn't think to ask about charges for nitrous oxide, considering that her own hospital charged so little for the service.
Before you decide where to have your baby — before any elective hospitalization — ask for an all-inclusive estimate and a pricing breakdown, and be sure you understand how the hospital calculates its bills.
Once you've left the hospital, ask for an itemized bill and scrutinize it carefully. Kerrschneider was an informed medical professional who works in the labor and delivery field, which helped her realize she was being overcharged. But if, for example, you see a big charge for anesthesia when you never saw an anesthesiologist, ask questions, make a fuss. Only you can catch some types of improper billing: You were in the delivery room. Your insurer was not.

Music R&B Singer, Dancer, Fashion model and Actress Aaliyah picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery, albums covers pictures.
Birth name: Aaliyah Dana Haughton.
Born: January 16, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York, United States.
Died: August 25, 2001 in Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton is better known as Aaliyah, was an American singer, dancer, actress, and model. Introduced to audiences by R&B singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland and their associate Steve "Static" Garrett. Aaliyah soon joined Timbaland's R&B and hip hop collective, the Superfriends Clique.
She is notable for recording several hit records, including several number one R&B hits, a number one pop hit, and five top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. She has sold 32 million records worldwide. She also modeled for Tommy Hilfiger and starred in two motion pictures before dying in a plane crash in the Bahamas.
Aaliyah Haughten was born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, New York to Michael and Diane Haughton, and was raised in Detroit, Michigan. Her name means "Highest, Most Exalted, The Best" in Arabic language. Aaliyah was brought up as a Catholic with her older brother Rashad Haughton. Her grandmother, Mintis L. Hicks Hankerson, was of African American and Native American descent. Diane Haughton, Aaliyah's mother, also a vocalist, encouraged her daughter's career.
In 1991, She appeared on the TV talent show Star Search at age ten, singing her mother's favorite song, "My Funny Valentine". Although she did not win, Aaliyah worked with an agent in New York and began to attend auditions for TV shows, including "Family Matters".
Following her appearance on Star Search Aaliyah performed on stage in Las Vegas, Nevada with Gladys Knight. In her early teens, Aaliyah attended the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, and graduated as a Dance major with a 4.0 GPA.
Aaliyah signed with her uncle Barry Hankerson's Blackground Records label in 1993 at the age of 14. She released her debut album, titled Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, in 1994 at the age of 15. R. Kelly, was a leading songwriter and producer on her debut album. The album displayed her smooth and velvety vocals and the production work was said to be original and innovative. The album went platinum within months. The album featured the gold-selling singles "Back and Forth", "At Your Best," "Down With The Clique," and the album-title single "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number."
One In A Million, Aaliyah's second album, was chiefly written and produced by then-unknowns Missy Elliott and Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley. One in a Million was released on August 27, 1996 when Aaliyah was 17 years of age. The album became a landmark in Aaliyah's career, garnering her mass critical acclaim. The album was certified double-platinum within a year, making Aaliyah a major R&B star and igniting the successful careers of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. One in a Million featured the international smash hits; "If Your Girl Only Knew", "One In A Million", "Got to Give It Up", "4 Page Letter", "Hot Like Fire", and "The One I Gave My Heart To".
To date, One in a Million has sold over 3.7 million copies in the U.S. and over 11 million worldwide.
"We Need a Resolution," the first single from Aaliyah's third studio album, was released April 24, 2001. The self-titled Aaliyah was released three months later on July 17, 2001. The album was an instant critical success. Aaliyah introduced a darker and edgier side to Aaliyah's music and was noted as having showcased her growth as an artist and has claimed that Her 3rd effort is Her version of Control. Around the time of the album's recording and release she had been filming Queen of the Damned, which helped her show a dark and edgy side as her character was a deadly villain. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 186,000 copies in its first week, and was certified gold (526,000 copies sold) within four weeks before her death. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails was to produce a song on the album but scheduling conflicts did not permit the collaboration. I Care 4 U is the fourth and final single from the album.
There was no shortage of confusion at the label regarding the next single from the Aaliyah album. Aaliyah had been promoting "More Than a Woman", having performed it twice and shooting a video with director Dave Meyers in the summer of 2001. According to Blackground, a remix featuring State Property and Jay-Z was also planned, but was scrapped due to her death. The video was to be released but "Rock the Boat" began receiving huge amounts of radio-play, so she was immediately sent to the Bahamas to shoot the video. The "Rock the Boat" music video was put in the 106 & Park: BET's Top 10 Live hall of fame, making the countdown over 65 times and landed in second place on BET's Top 100 videos of 2001. The album went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide.
I Care 4 U was released on December 10, 2002. Along with her hit singles, a number of previously unreleased tracks were included on the album, including "Erica Kane", "Don't Worry" and "All I Need" and the new singles "Miss You", "Don't Know What to Tell Ya", and "Come Over." I Care 4 U debuted at an impressive #3 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the R&B album charts (where it remained for 7 weeks). The album went on to sell over 2.6 million in the U.S. and 5 million worldwide.
In 1995, at age 16, Aaliyah performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" live at an Orlando Magic basketball game. She performed on nickelodeon's former show "All That" performing "Age ain't nothin but a number". Also during that year, she appeared in the movie and on the soundtrack for A Low Down Dirty Shame with the minor international hit "The Thing I Like" (#33 UK). The song was also included on international versions of Age Ain't Nothing But A Number.
In 1996 she appeared on "All That" again and performed her hit song "One in a Million".
In 1997, Aaliyah appeared on the soundtrack album for the Fox Animation Studios animated feature Anastasia, singing the pop version of "Journey to the Past". The song was nominated for an Academy Award, and Aaliyah performed the song at the 1998 Academy Awards ceremony, becoming the youngest female recording artist to perform at the ceremony.
Aaliyah had a hit in 1998 with "Are You that Somebody" (#4 airplay U.S. and #1 R&B airplay for eight weeks), the main single from the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack. Its video was the third most-played on MTV that year, and the song's success helped make Aaliyah a household name and crowned Her as "Queen of Urban Pop".
In 2000, she co-starred with Jet Li in the martial arts film Romeo Must Die, which debuted at number one at the box office. Aaliyah and Timbaland executive produced the film's soundtrack album and Aaliyah contributed four songs: "Are You Feelin' Me?," "I Don't Wanna", "Come Back in One Piece," a duet with DMX, and the international number one hit "Try Again." Aaliyah made history once more when "Try Again" became the first song to ever reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 based solely on the strength of its radio airplay, without any single sales factored in. After the huge success of "Try Again" at radio, a 12" maxi single was released for consumer purchase. The radio-only single, "I Don't Wanna", (which was also featured on the soundtracks for the films Next Friday and Romeo Must Die) peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
In 2001, Aaliyah went to Australia to co-star with Stuart Townsend in the film Queen of the Damned, an adaptation of the Anne Rice novel of the same name. Aaliyah also recorded most of her third studio album, Aaliyah, during this time.
In 2004, The Matrix was released to DVD, inside the special features and documentaries are tributes and footage of Aaliyah.
Aaliyah had a supporting role as Zee, the wife of Harold Perrineau Jr.'s character, Link, in the two sequels to The Matrix. The directors initially tried to find a way to incorporate her footage into the movies but decided against it due to lack of material available. The role was recast with Nona Gaye playing the character. Other films in which Aaliyah was signed to star in were Honey (which instead was filmed with Jessica Alba as the main character), and a sassy role in the movie State Property 2 (which was recast with Mariah Carey), and a Whitney Houston-produced remake of the 1976 film Sparkle (since in the works with Raven-Symone, now cancelled).
Aaliyah's funeral was held on August 31 at Saint Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan, NYC.
The NTSB report states "The airplane was seen lifting off the runway, and then nose down, impacting in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27."
It also indicates that the pilot, Luis Morales III, was not approved to pilot the plane he was attempting to fly. Morales falsely obtained his FAA license by showing hundreds of hours never flown, and he may also have falsified how many hours he had flown in order to get a job with his employer, Blackhawk International Airways, The pilot could have possibly hijacked the crew's flight back to the states. Additionally, an autopsy performed on Morales revealed traces of cocaine and alcohol in his blood.
Further investigations determined the plane was over its total gross weight by several hundred pounds.
Eddie Golson, president of Pro Freight Cargo Services at Opa-locka Airport, said workers carted "a pickup truck of freight" from the crash site. "That's absurd to think that this pilot got in this airplane with eight other people and a truck full of freight and expected this thing to fly," Golson said. Two of the passengers, members of Aaliyah's entourage, weighed in the region of 300 pounds and sat in the rear of the plane, where the baggage was also stored.
The NTSB report states that "the total gross weight of the airplane was substantially exceeded". In addition, with heavy passengers and cargo in the back, the center of gravity was pushed too far aft. This caused an uncontrollable nose-up attitude, leading to a stall.
The day of the crash was Morales' first official day with Blackhawk International Airways, a FAA Part 135 single-pilot operation. In addition, Luis Morales III was not registered with the FAA to fly for Blackhawk. As a result of the accident, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed by Aaliyah�s parents and was later settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Barry & Sons, Inc., a corporation formed in 1992 to develop, promote and capitalize on the musical talents of Aaliyah and to oversee the production and distribution of her records, tapes and music videos, brought an unsuccessful lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Instinct Productions LLC, (a company hired by Barry & Sons, Inc. in August, 2001 to produce the "Rock the Boat" music video). The case was dismissed since New York State's wrongful death statute only permits certain people to recover damages for wrongful death.
"Rock the Boat" went on to become a posthumous hit on radio (reaching number two on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles charts, number 14 on the Hot 100, and number 12 in the UK) and video channels, and the news of Aaliyah's death gave her album a notable sales boost, pushing it to number one on the Billboard 200. The album produced two other singles. "More than A Woman" reached number 7 on Billboard's Hot R&B singles chart, number 25 on Hot 100, and number one in the UK. "I Care 4 U" reached number three on Billboard's Hot R&B singles chart and number 3 on the Hot 100, the latter attaining success even without the promotional push of a music video. The Aaliyah album had gon on to sell over 3 million copies in the U.S.
Her second and last film Queen of the Damned was released in early 2002. Before its release, Aaliyah's brother Rashad Haughton was called upon to re-dub several of his sister's lines during the post-production ADR process. Upon its release, the film debuted at number one. The film was also dedicated to her memory.
In 2001, Missy Elliott released her video for "Take Away". The video contained words and images about Aaliyah. The single also featured Ginuwine and was the debut of Elliott's recent prot�g�, Tweet.
Aaliyah and former Beatle George Harrison made UK Chart history in January 2002 when they scored the first, and to this date only, back-to-back posthumous number one hits (aside from the Elvis Presley re-releases in 2005). Aaliyah's "More than a Woman", released on January 7 and topped the chart on January 13, was followed by Harrison's "My Sweet Lord", re-released on January 14 and topped the chart on January 20. Aaliyah was voted one of "The Top 40 Woman of the Video Era" in VH1's The Greatest, also ranked #36 on their list of the 100 Sexiest Artist. Aaliyah also made E!'s list on the 101 Most Shocking Moments in Entertainment, Juiciest Hollywood Hookups, and Best Kept Hollywood Secrets. Aaliyah recently ranked at #18 on BET's "Top 25 Dancers of All Time" and ranked at #4 on BET's "Top 25 Sexiest Women of all Time". In 2005, former Co-Star Jet Li as reported from CNN stated the memory of Aaliyah had haunted him in Vancouver, where he and the late songstress shot the film Romeo Must Die.
In addition Aaliyah has been the topic of five books: Aaliyah: More than a Woman (2001) by Christopher John Farley, Aaliyah: An R&B Princess in Words and Pictures (2002) by Kelly Kenyatta, Aaliyah by Tim Footman (2003), and Aaliyah Remembered: Her Life & The Person behind the Mystique (2005) by William Sutherland.
Another way Aaliyah's legacy will live on, is through The Aaliyah Memorial Fund. The money donated goes to charities Aaliyah supported. Aaliyah's Cancer Awareness Angels participate in a Revlon Run Walk in which Aaliyah herself once participated.

Q: My div won't change width with my javascript function I have made a makeshift progress bar with two divs, styled with css to fit one in another to make the progress bar. I have a button that changes the width of the inside div to go up when I click the button, but the button click does not change the width of the div. I made sure I made no errors, the javascript console in my chrome browser gives no errors when I click the button. Anyways, here is my code:

function clickMe() {
  var newExp = parseInt(document.getElementById("expHold").innerHTML);
  document.getElementById("bar2").style.width = newExp + 'px';
  document.getElementById("expHold").innerHTML += '+1';
  document.getElementById("expHold").innerHTML = eval(document.getElementById("expHold").innerHTML);
}
#bar1 {
  border: 2px solid gold;
  height: 15px;
  width: 100px;
  background-color: blue;
  border-radius: 8px;
}
#bar2 {
  height: 15px;
  width: 1px;
  background-color: skyblue;
  border-radius: 8px;
}

  <input type="button" value="Click me" onClick="clickMe()" />
  1

I would appreciate any help telling me what I am doing wrong, thanks!

A: *

*Please do not use inline JavaScript. It reduces readability and maintainability.

*You should use a JavaScript variable to store the exp, this way you don't have to repeatedly query the DOM, which is process intensive.

*You should cache the DOM objects instead of creating new ones on each iteration.

*You can increment the previously created exp variable by using the prefix increment modifier

*

*The prefix increment modifier will return the incremented value.

*The postfix increment modifier will return the value before incrementing.

var exp = 0, current;
var bar1 = document.getElementById("bar1");
var bar2 = document.getElementById("bar2");
var hold = document.getElementById("expHold");
var max = bar1.clientWidth;
document.getElementById('my-button').onclick = function() {
  // Don't go past the end.
  if(bar2.clientWidth < max) {
    current = ++exp;
    hold.textContent = current;
    bar2.style.width = current + 'px';
  }
}
#bar1 {
  border: 2px solid gold;
  height: 15px;
  width: 100px;
  background-color: blue;

Cassandra Cross has received funding from the Criminology Research Grant Scheme.
Richard Tolman, a professor of social work at the University of Michigan, identified nine techniques of psychological abuse used by offenders in situations of domestic violence. In an exploratory study, my colleagues and I were able to apply many of these to the context of fraud.
The pervasive nature of these tactics is difficult to guard against. Most people do not believe they are vulnerable to fraud and are not aware how they could be deceived. Offenders rely on this.
There is also a strong stigma attached to falling prey to scams. Victims are often blamed for their own circumstances and losses. This exacerbates the suffering they've experience at the hands of the offender.


Our Basic White Melt and Pour Soap Base is milky white with a big bubble creamy lather. The twenty-four pound big block is ideal for larger projects, as it will make (96) 4 oz. bars of soap. Soap comes in a blue bag with twist tie and corrugate box. A single block measures 13 x 11.5 x 6 inches.
COMMENTS: This was my first purchase from WSP but it will not be my last. My product arrived on time and package very well. The free shipping is a great help for new soapers. The soap came in a block but wasn't as hard to cut as I thought it was gonna be. So I will have to give this company a thumbs up!
"Very good with lather "
COMMENTS: This soap is very good and mixes well with color. We use it in two of our best sellers.
"Crafters Choice™ Basic White MP Soap Base - 24 lb "
COMMENTS: Easy to use and holds the color and scent well. I will use this again.
COMMENTS: I have been using this for years and love everything about it. Never a complaint from my customers!
"GREAT PRODUCT, GOOD LATHER, CUSTOMERS LOVE IT"
COMMENTS: I love the big block 24 lb size, it is less money, free shipping, and my customers love it. They keep telling me they'll never buy soap from anyone else. That tells me one thing: the melt & pour big lather block is the best.
COMMENTS: This soap is so easy to work with. When I make my 3d.soap The white really pops out Great lather, I do add some extra oils Only base i wk with.
COMMENTS: Mixes well with pigment and doesn't bleed.
COMMENTS: Love your soap base.
COMMENTS: This is my go to soap base. It is very easy to use and unmold from silicone molds. I definitely recommend it.
"Crafters Basic White MP Soap Base-24#"
COMMENTS: I love this basic creamy White Soap base for my novelty soaps! It takes color and fragrance well, and has great bubbly lather! I also like to use this to sometimes combine with some m&p bases.
COMMENTS: This is the first white soap base I have used. I started with clear. Its fun having a variety (even if a small variety) of options to work with. It has been easy to work with, and finished product is great!
"the best base for making soaps"
COMMENTS: I'm a cosmetics business owner and I like the quality of this basis for all my soap line, all the ingredients mix well, I have 3 year buying this base.
"Crafters Choice™ Basic MP Soap Base - White 24 lb."
COMMENTS: Very good soap. Takes color well. Some heavier darker fragrance oils will change your soap color.
COMMENTS: I love this product! Its a wonderful base, allowing me to create bars with ingrdents I choose! Never loses it lather action and is the stable in my line.
COMMENTS: Nice quality. I used it with the heart mold for imbeds.
COMMENTS: I've used these 24 lb blocks of soap for over 3 years and always liked the soap overall. I order in bulk, 10 blocks at a time. Recently, the soap is poured into the packaging differently and the plastic is deeply embedded into the soap when it hardens.
WSP Response: We agree the soap poured in the bag is harder to use than our old packaging. The issue with the old packaging was handling and contamination. This new method prevents any manual handling and no possible contamination. We have a team looking at alternatives and are very open to any ideas. We do not package as other manufacturers to (in an insulated box) because it causes the soap to over cook, becoming dark and undesirable.
"Best M&P I've tried yet. can't go wrong with this "
COMMENTS: Love how this releases from the mode. Don't feel sticky after dries. Lathers up like a dream! Try it, you will be glad you did.
COMMENTS: I actually can not tell the difference between this one and the premium white base. I know there is a difference, but in 6 the bath...same lather, same scent hold, same silky feel.
COMMENTS: I used this for M&P soap, maybe I washed my hands too many times so my hands feel really dry after.
COMMENTS: I've tried other brands and I keep coming back to WSP's white soap. I used to use the Premium Ultra White but discovered when putting the soaps side by side that the basic white was actually whiter! So no need to spend more money for the premium. Both of them behave wonderfully. I sure do hate the new packing, though. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes and all the strength I have to get the embedded plastic wrapping out of the soap. Inevitably it tears the bag, which then means I have to find a way to cover up the soap in the ripped bag. I also end up throwing a lot of soap away because I am unable to cut all the pieces of plastic out of it. But the soap is great, once I finally get to it!
COMMENTS: Pure white so works well with color. No odor, has not sweat. Very nice lather. I find it a bit hard to cut in this large block, so I keep it in the box it comes in and open the plastic bag and cut as needed.
COMMENTS: This soap is perfect for beginners interested in the melt and pour process. My 10 year old daughter uses this M&P soap to create loafs and bars. With continuous stirring the soap does not get a film. This versatile soap can be melted repeatedly in the microwave or kept warm in a crockpot. Fragrance and color does not affect the viscosity. This is a great soap!
COMMENTS: Easy to use. Melts easily.
COMMENTS: Item was as described, However when I recieved the package from UPS, It was damaged with grass attached to it , the bag the soap was in was busted open so I lost 1 pound from the bottom, I would order again, great buy, however I wish they would place more effort into the packaging and shipment so that this does not happen again. I think it was more on UPS than WPS so beware and check your package upon arrival... waiting on more items before i can make my chriatmas edition Peppermint Cream Soap's However this is a great base from past experience.
"Works well, good basic base."
COMMENTS: Purchased this instead of the Premium base because it's a little bit cheaper. Oddly enough, this soap is harder to cut through, yet feels stickier (before melting) and more "rubbery" (even after melting). I think with time I can get used to the feel of it as the finished products don't look any different than they do with the premium base. The lather is great, the scent retention is good. Be prepared to mix with clear if you want anything other than a light pastel color as this is really white soap. It is low sweat..not "no" sweat, but "low" sweat. This and the Premium are about the same as far as I can tell. Which is to say they sweat less than any I've ever tried. Customers really don't mind the ingredients because the soap is good. All in all I think I will buy a couple more blocks and give myself some more time to get used to it.
• It's very sticky, would like it less so.
• End product is rubbery.
COMMENTS: This soap base works perfectly fine for me - no odors, easy to melt, etc. However, if I could change one thing it may be the packaging. I find all too often that the plastic is seriously embedded into the soap and it gets to be problematic at times when trying to extract a chunk of soap since I seem to have to fish for the wrapper.
"Love this Melt & Pour."
COMMENTS: I am really happy with myself for purchasing this. It has a nice smell by itself, it suds up very well, and goes great with any scent I've added. Will definitely put this on my to buy again list. I really recommend this product.
COMMENTS: Love it for my soaps. Will buy again soon.
COMMENTS: I like this for my baby onsie soaps. It doesn't stick to the mold!
COMMENTS: This soap base melts down perfectly and is great to work with. It takes color and fragrances well and unmolds easily. I use a lot of white base when doing decorative soaps and adding colors. Great quality.
COMMENTS: This works great as a starting base for our regular soap bars. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great melt pour base. It has nice lathering ability easy to take color and scents. Low melting point, super easy and great results!
"Review of Basic MP Soap Base 24lbs."
COMMENTS: I have been a customer with WSP for many years. This was the first order in like 4 years. I would have to say that the base melted at low temps perfectly. There was no discoloration at all. It blended well with the colorants and fragrances that I was using well. I will be re-ordering this white basic base again. This product was of very high quality.
• Mixed well with fragrances.
COMMENTS: The cases are handy and this is a nice, very white basic base. Hope this one never leaves.
COMMENTS: I do prefer the bright white MP base but this is a very good alternative.
COMMENTS: Great basic soap. Melts quickly and uniformly.
COMMENTS: Perfect for any M & P project. Melts easily in the microwave and in case of a not so great pour into the mold, can be reheated so very easily. Takes colors very well - I used both color bars and liquid in different projects. Love it!
COMMENTS: I was using a very expensive soap base from a different supplier thinking I was giving my customers a fabulous soap base. When they (the other supplier) ran out I decided to try this base just as an emergency back up. I absolutely love it, by far out shines anything else I have tried. I will not go back to using that other soap base EVER. Please continue to make this soap base, My customers and I LOVE it!
COMMENTS: I love this soap base and is my go to base. It unmolds nicely and accepts scents very well.
COMMENTS: This soap is nice and hard, lathers well and holds scent well.
"Low Sweat and a Clean Looking Bar"
COMMENTS: This is one of my "go to" bases. It is low sweat, and produces a clean looking bar. I like the natural scent it has, and it takes fragrance oil quite well.
COMMENTS: Love love love !
COMMENTS: I started with this base, I'm sticking to it!
"Great Melt and Pour Soap Base"
COMMENTS: This MP Base melts nice and smooth and mixes great with micas. Pops out of molds smooth. No bad scent and low sweat.
"Easy Soap Base for Wonderful Results!"
COMMENTS: I have been using this soap base for a while now and it always has wonderful results. Easy to remove from molds due to its low water content. Holds scents and colors well.
COMMENTS: This soap base is great! It works well even at low temperatures, and holds fragrance well! I am gonna buy this again!
COMMENTS: This is a great bargain for the price--lots of creamy lather.
"How long is the curing process? "
Staff Answer There is no curing process for Melt and Pour soap. Once you unmold the soap, it is ready to use.
"Is there lue already in the base or should i add some to the product?"
Staff Answer Sodium hydroxide, or lye, is a part of the soapmaking process and nothing else needs to be added, other than fragrance and color, if desired.
"My finished product comes out very sticky after unmomlding my soap, and my fragrance isn't as strong as it is out of the bottle. Am I doing something wrong? I use the microwave to melt, separate my bases to color/layer, and add the fragrance. could the oils in the fragrance be my problem? too much fragrance? the microwaving? or the m&p brand? Should I move up to premium or signature to eliminate this problem?"
Staff Answer Hi Kimberly, I would suggest calling our customer service department at 1-800-359-0944 to help troubleshoot this for you.
"When layering can I use two different bases such as Premium Extra Clear and Basic MP White Soap bases together? Or is it better to use Premium Clear and White vs say Basic and Premium?"
Staff Answer Hi Courtney - You can layer with different soap bases, and have a quality finished product. Do keep in mind that basic soap bases have less added detergents than premiums bases so the end result of layering with these two bases will be slightly less bubbly than if you layered with two premium bases.
"I've found this base to be too oily in my soaps and it sweats. Which other base would be better for me to use?"
Try the premium or signature version. I do not have a problem with those.
"Are your melt and pour soap bases gluten free?"
Staff Answer We do not have specific information on this. Customers need to check each individual ingredient to see if it is something they are comfortable using.
"How do you label ingredient list on your product when you do not the correct amount of what's in the mp soap? For example, I add other ingredients to the mp soap. The FDA requires you to have the ingredients listed for the largest amount to the lowest. Lets say I added 2 ounce of lavender to 24lb of soap. Where do I list the ingredient? As the last one?"
Staff Answer You can always call us and we are happy to pull the formula and help you with your label.
"What would be the best clear soap to layer with this white soap base? I understand it's important to have a similar density so the layers don't separate."
Staff Answer Our Extra Clear MP Soap and our Basic Clear MP Soap will layer without issues using this base.
Any of the Crafter's Choice MP Soap Bases should work for layering. Just be sure to spritz the bottom layer with rubbing alcohol before pouring the next layer. If you want a base that will be most similar to this one then I would think the Basic Clear would be the closest match.

Kolkata: Four people died while at least 15 others got injured in a road accident in West Bengal's West Midnapore district when a public transport vehicle collided head on with a speeding truck on Sunday morning, police said.
The accident took place in Banamalipur in West Midnapore district's Salboni at around 6.20 am.
"A (Hindustan) Trekker crashed into a speeding truck coming from the opposite direction near Banamalipur. Four people including two women died in the accident. At least 15 other passengers in the trekker sustained injuries," said an officer from Salboni police station.
"The four deceased – Sabita Rani Mahato, Nabanita Mahato, Maheswar Soren and Uttam Soren are from the local villages. The injured passengers have been taken to a local hospital for treatment," he said.
According to police, low visibility due to fog in early morning might have caused the accident.
"No one has been arrested yet. The truck driver fled from the spot. We are looking for him," the officer added.


Ada County continues its repairs of the Greenbelt as another section will be closed starting October 25, 2017-June 22, 2018. The Penitentiary Canal project will involve installing an irrigation pipe and widening and smoothing the asphalt for users.The closer will run between Warm Springs, near Shakespeare Way to Diversion Dam. The project will create 1.65 miles of 11' wide, center line striped asphalt pathway with 2' wide recovery shoulders. The current pathway has steep and hazardous shoulders with a cracking, potholed surface that has failed extensively due to age and erosion. Complete closure of the pathway is required during construction in order to place the irrigation pipe and rebuild the surface to appropriate standards.
This section will be completely closed to all users during construction. There will be no posted detour routes on adjacent roadways. All pathway users are instructed to turn around at the barricades.
Ada County asks that you respect all closures so that crews can complete the project on time.

The interface of the dashboard is the best of any CRM I have worked with. I like seeing the most recent deals and most recent contacts when you are pulled up on the dashboard. A lot of people do not know about Nimble but I think its data management and email tracking stack up to any other CRM on the market. I think the vibrant dashboard makes the user friendly experience something that translates to quality management of key customers. The system is organized and you do not tend to get lost in the small details with contacts.
The pipeline interface is very easy to follow, but I wish there was a running list of closed accounts that appeared on the page. I want to see the history of closed deals. I wish Nimble could do more success story features in their webinars. I feel we get a lot of tips from people inside Nimble but I would like to hear back from Nimble Users who have found a way to make the best of the CRM.
Get involved in the CRM special features that Nimble offers. Not just the basic management options.
Not only does it make it very easy for me to find and add contacts, but I love the emails I receive each time there are engagement opportunities for my brand. It's really easy for my team to check and see if someone has already been contacted and to see the history of contact, I have never used Salesforce before, but I assume this is a similar tool to salesforce, but geared more towards someone like me who isn't looking to necessarily make sales, but keep track of communications.
Honestly, I don't have any problems with it! I think it's a super helpful CRM and it's perfect for exactly what I need and use it for.
Managing our experts (contacts) and keeping tabs on communication. It's very easy with Nimble.
we love the ability of Nimble to connect universally the different platforms with which we work daily in email. We like the tagging and saved search capability that integrates seamlessly with our 366 Degress marketing platform.
LinkedIn integration is not as strong as it was before. The nimble application for Android lacks the equivalent features of iOS. The aspect of deal management is very weak.
Nimble has allowed me to combine my commercial and private contacts in a single system, I can run groups using tags and this generates a considerable time saving because I use the unique characteristics of the system.

A bill being debated at the Arizona Capitol is putting the issue of evictions front and center.
House Bill 2358 could give landlords the ability to evict tenants who pay rent using help from Section 8 vouchers and nonprofits. The bill comes as a response to a court decision last year that essentially said, if a landlord accepts rental assistance from someone as part of their payment, that tenant can't be evicted.
Proponents say that has put landlords in a bad position. But those against this bill worry it could be abused.
The Show turned to Ellen Katz, director of the William E. Morris Institute for Justice. She says, if it was just about Section 8 vouchers, she wouldn't object. But she objects to how broad it is right now.
The Show also heard from the organization that pushed for it. Courtney LeVinus is the president and CEO of the Arizona Multihousing Association. The Show spoke with her about why this recent court decision made it necessary, in her opinion, to change this law.

Q: Join date and time in c# I have a win form c#  SQL app that stores date in one column and time in the another.
There is only one date time picker on my form and I want to display both date and time values (which are from two separate columns)..
So far this is what I've done
Datetime final = datetime. Parse exact (date + " " + time , "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt", cultureinfo. Invariant culture);

But it throws " string was not recognized as valid datetime" exception on the above line.

A: If date and time are DateTime variables, you can combine them with date arithmetic:
DateTime date=...;
DateTime time = ...;

DateTime finalDate = date.Date + time.TimeOfDay;

If they are strings, you can parse them to DateTime and TimeSpan variables:
DateTime date=DateTime.ParseExact(dateString,dateFormat,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.ParseExact(timeString,timeFormat,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

DateTime finalDate = date.Date + time;

This is possible because you can add a DateTime and a TimeSpan value to get a new DateTime value

A: You can use TimeSpan.Parse to parse
DateTime newDateTime = date.Add(TimeSpan.Parse(time));

A:  string d = DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
 string t = DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm");
 var ts = TimeSpan.ParseExact(t, @"h\:mm",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
 DateTime result = DateTime.ParseExact(d, "dd/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)+ts;

Hope this helps,
Thanks.

When can I get the Team Foundation Server?
Several people have asked this question. The server is not included in the May Community Preview distributed at TechEd. Also, the server bits will not be included with the upcoming VS 2005 Beta 1 release. In fact, none of Team System will be in Beta 1, so the May Community Preview release at TechEd is it for a little while.

The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is the foremost international textbook of medicine. Unrivaled in its coverage of the scientific aspects and clinical practice of internal medicine and its subspecialties, it is a fixture in the offices and wards of physicians around the world. More comprehensive, more authoritative, and more international than any other textbook, it focuses on offering practical guidance on clinical management and the prevention of disease.
Three introductory chapters outline a philosophy which has always characterized the Oxford Textbook of Medicine. It is humane, thought-provoking, and aims to instill in readers an understanding of the role of medicine in society, and the contribution it can make to the health of populations.
As always, there is detailed coverage of all areas of internal medicine. The integration of basic science and clinical practice is unparalleled and throughout the book the implications of research for medical practice are explained. The core clinical medicine sections offer in-depth coverage of the traditional specialty areas. The Oxford Textbook of Medicine has unsurpassed details on infectious diseases: the most comprehensive coverage to be found in any textbook of medicine. Other sections of note include: pain; bioterrorism; forensic medicine; medical disorders in pregnancy; travel and expedition medicine; nutrition; the use of stem cells; regenerative medicine, and psychiatry and drug-related problems in general medical practice.
In response to detailed research, there have been substantial changes to ensure that the Oxford Textbook of Medicine continues to meet the needs of its readers. New chapter summaries give accessible overviews of the content. All 2,500 illustrations and photographs are now in full color, and a new design ensures that the textbook is easy to read and to navigate. The evidence-base and references have been entirely overhauled.
And now, for the first time, the Oxford Textbook of Medicine is available in an online edition. Containing the full text and all the figures and illustrations, the online version has a clear and easy-to-use interface with excellent navigation and search and browse options. In addition, the online edition facilitates links to sources of related and further reading via PubMed, ISI, and CrossRef. All the figures are downloadable into Powerpoint; an excellent tool when preparing presentations and lectures.
Purchasers of the print edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, fifth edition, will also be able to purchase access to the online edition for a reduced rate by following the instructions given in the book.

Home / Stories / Perry Mason never explained the case of his disappearing legal aide David Gideon
Perry Mason never explained the case of his disappearing legal aide David Gideon
The character was mysteriously cut after nine episodes.
March 23, 2018, 11:29AM By MeTV Staff
Perry Mason perfected its formula to the point where its formulaic episodes actually became a sign of the show's strength for loyal fans. In the Perry Mason universe, there were lawyers, secretaries, judges and detectives, and anyone outside of those archetypes better be a killer or a victim or else they simply felt shoe-horned in, an unnecessary accessory in the case of every crime. That's the biggest criticism fans have for David Gideon, the handsome young student aide who showed up in season 4 to help and learn from his hero Perry Mason.
David Gideon was played by the actor Karl Held, who joined the Perry Mason cast for nine episodes across two seasons, but nobody's really sure exactly why. In most of his episodes, his character was kind of useless, occasionally making mistakes that Perry Mason had to work past. Some believe the idea was to introduce a young character to boost ratings. But if that was the plan, it backfired. His character largely divided fans instead of drawing more.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in the plan to work David Gideon into Perry Mason was that writers never gave him a compelling reason to exist. He wasn't an original character, and he didn't add meaningfully to the plots, apart from occasionally providing insights that it turns out Perry was, of course, already wise to. If Perry Mason was infallible, then David Gideon could add little as a sidekick that Della Street and Paul Drake didn't already have covered. In fact, some fans even grumble that Gideon stole scenes from Drake!
But if you look back over the David Gideon episodes, there is an arc to follow in the character. He begins in "The Case of the Grumbling Grandfather" as a bit of a fool who falls for a conniving woman's tricks. The boy is blindly noble, and it bites him by the episode's end. It also surges his admiration for Perry Mason, and as David Gideon begins to learn from the master, there was maybe a missed opportunity to explore that dynamic. In the end, it just was unfortunate that many fans felt Gideon's scenes took time away from the profound chemistry between the show's more established characters.
Perry Mason's character drastically changes after the iconic show's earliest episodes
And that's how we come to one of Perry Mason's biggest unsolved cases: What ever happened to David Gideon? After a scant appearance in the fifth season episode "The Case of the Shapely Shadow," the ambitious law student just disappears. He's never mentioned again, and we never got a goodbye.
Classic TV fans, of course, saw Karl Held appear on many shows through the '80s, including 77 Sunset Strip, The Outer Limits, Star Trek, Charlie's Angels and The Jeffersons, as well as playing Garth on the '80s soap opera Falcon Crest. So while his Perry Mason character remains an unsolved mystery, at least we knew the actor escaped the show unscathed by his early character's icy reception.

I got impatient & DEEPLY annoyed every time I saw "Pretty Boy" Karl Held overstaying his welcome in Perry's office! The original cast: Perry, Paul, Della and Hamburger/Tragg were ALL that was needed! I couldnt stand "Gertie." I always wondered, even back in the late 50s & early 60s, if "David Gideon" was somebody's squeeze & that's how he wormed his way on the show. Didn't like the substitutes for an ailing Perry or a naughty Burger, either!

If I were to make up a story in regards to what happened to this assistant, I would have knocked him off & made a case/episode out of it. The drastic passing of Perry Mason's assistant would have provided closure to the character & would have made for an interesting plot for the show's fans.

He indeed disrupt the wonderful chemistry between the main characters. Much like "Cousin Oliver" on the Brady Bunch or "Warren" on the Andy Griffith Show. Excess baggage.


A resident in some of the most famous kit bags in the world, the VR II is a phenomenal lens, even though it's been usurped by the newer FL version. It features a reassuringly tough build quality, with pleasingly chunky focus and zoom grips, which hides 21 elements in 16 groups, including 7 ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements and Nano Crystal Coating to reduce aberration and flare. It also handles vignetting and distortion as well as others in test, regardless of the focal length.
We've no complaints about sharpness – it's extremely good. Even at f/2.8 the centre of the image is pin-sharp, though the corners take a while to catch up. Once you get to f/5.6, this lens is sharp throughout and returns stunning results. The autofocus system is also very good with focus achieved quickly and accurately every time.
This Nikon is definitely extremely capable and will not disappoint you. However, this is reflected in the price-tag, which may be off-putting.

Santiago ARCOS Y UGALDE (Santiago de Chile 1852 - San Sebastián 1912)
Absalam Sold
Watercolour, over traces of an underdrawing in pencil.
Laid down.
Signed, dated and inscribed S. Arcos / 87 / Tanjer. at the lower right, and titled Absalam. at the lower left.
314 x 192 mm. (12 3/8 x 7 5/8 in.)
This striking watercolour portrait was drawn, as the artist's inscription notes, in Tangier in 1887, and depicts a man by the name of Absalam. Santiago Arcos visited Morocco in 1887, perhaps under the influence of the Catalan painter Josep Tapiró i Baró, who lived and worked in Tangier. The light of Morocco had a profound effect on his paintings and watercolours, resulting in the artist adopting a brighter palette. Arcos painted a number of Orientalist pictures in Morocco, notably A Souk in Tangier, exhibited in 18902. These Moroccan pictures proved very popular when he exhibited them in Paris, and led to prizes at the Salon of 1888 and the Exposition du Cercle Artistique et Littéraire the same year, when one critic noted that 'M. Santiago Arcos goes from strength to strength. His types of Arabs, of Orientals, are captured on the spot. My sincere congratulations to this artist.'
The present sheet is typical of the handful of watercolour studies of Arab types by Arcos that are known, which tend to show the subjects in profile or in three-quarter view, and set against a neutral background.

## Explanation

In ESM the file extension `.js` must be appended to named imports.
This can be achieved by setting the codegen config `emitLegacyCommonJSImports` to `false` (see `codegen.yml`).

TypeScript introduced a new module resolution algorithm for ESM in version 4.7. We set the `moduleResolution` to `node16` and the (output) module type to `node16` (see `tsconfig.json`).
Additionally, within the `package.json` we specify the `type` property with the value `module` in order to instruct Node.js, bundlers and other tools that all `.js` files within this folder should be treated as ESM modules.

Research Lab 2018 | Weds 4 Jul, 10am - 12noon This Research Lab will reflect my insatiable curiosity for 'what is means to be human' and how (notions of) relationships factor into all of this – the relationship we have to ourselves; each other and to our environment.
Specifically we'll explore the idea of being 'held' in someone else's attention and how it can be embodied?
What form does this sense of holding take between dancers? Is it one way? Is it reciprocal?
How do you find yourself being 'held' in someone's attention; and what opportunities (in terms of the encounter/interaction/relationship) does it create?
Being held in someone's attention, however fleetingly, is the starting point...How can it progress? What role do the eyes have in all of this?
How can we play with how the interaction unfolds?
Attention to detail; nuances; listening.

You are here: Towns & Villages > Warminster
BA12 9BT
Situated beneath the chalk downland, with its abundant flora and fauna, Warminster lies on the edge of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The town derived its name from the Minster Church of St Denys which was built in Saxon times within a loop of the River Were. There is evidence of earlier settlements in the seven hills that surround the town, three of which are Iron Age hill forts, the most notable being Cley Hill to the west of Warminster. Once part of the Longleat estate, it was entrusted to the National Trust by the sixth Marquess of Bath.
The town boasts many historic attractions including Warminster Maltings, Britain's oldest working maltings, and Dents glove factory. Founded in 1777 the latter has been supplying gloves for royalty since the reign of George III, including Queen Elizabeth II's coronation gloves. Visits by groups to the Dents museum can be made by private arrangement.
The town park with its tranquil lake is the jewel in Warminster's crown and is being lovingly restored. The children's paddling pool is a huge attraction in the summer months and a skatepark, tennis courts and putting green are available all year round.
The park leads to Smallbrook Meadows Nature Reserve which is run by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and has a thriving population of water voles.
A rich variety of routes to nearby picturesque villages provide plenty of opportunities for cycling and walking activities, as well as sailing at Shearwater Lake.
Warminster is the nearest town to Longleat – home of the UK's first ever Safari Park and one of Britain's most impressive examples of high Elizabethan architecture.

1 So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living.
3 for you are still worldly. For when there are still jealousy and quarrels among you, are you not worldly and living on a merely human level?
4 For when one man says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another, "I am a follower of Apollos," are you not simply human?
5 What is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Just servants through whom you came to have faith, as the Lord gave each of us opportunity.
6 I did the planting, Apollos the watering, but it was God who made the plants grow.
7 So neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything, but only God who makes the plants grow.
8 The planter and the waterer are all one, though each of us will be paid for his own work.
9 For we are fellow-laborers for God, and you are God's farm, God's building.
10 Like an expert builder, I laid a foundation, as God commissioned me to do, and now someone else is building upon it. But let everyone be careful how he does so.
13 the quality of everyone's work will appear, for the Day will show it. For the Day will break in fire, and the fire will test the quality of everyone's work.
14 If what a man has built on the foundation stands the test, he will have his pay.
15 If a man's work is burned up, he must stand the loss, though he himself will be saved, but as one who has passed through the fire.
16 Do you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit makes its home in you?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is sacred, and that is what you are.
18 Let no one of you deceive himself. If any one of you imagines that he is wiser than the rest of you, in what this world calls wisdom, he had better become a fool, so as to become really wise.
19 For this world's wisdom is foolishness to God. For the Scripture says, "He who catches the wise with their own cunning,"
20 and "The Lord knows that the deliberations of the wise are fruitless."
21 So no one should boast about men. For it all belongs to you??22 Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, the present, the future??ll of it belongs to you.
23 But you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
