There are so many people striving for a better life in Laos. I only hope that the time I spent volunteering had half as much value to the young people I met as the blessings they gave to me.
I've always found volunteering one of the best ways to make a real connection. In Laos, there is a desperation to learn languages, especially English and Chinese. A language is perceived to offer a fast-track up the economic ladder. In Luang Prabang, there are scores of private schools that offer language training but Big Brother Mouse is one of the few that was set up as a not-for-profit, Lao-owned business.
At the outset, its mission was to fill a void in books published in the Lao language and it has expanded to offer a selection translated into English. They added an elementary and post-secondary school in the countryside outside Luang Prabang (Big Sister Mouse) as well as a range of free courses in the city.
I was able to join them for an open session our last morning in Laos. Seven days a week they invite English speakers to drop in for a few hours. I was warmly greeted and sat at a table waiting for someone to join me. After a few minutes, a 19-year old woman, Hina, sat across from me. It was time to begin. We each started tentatively with the basic exchanges when you meet someone – where are you from, tell me about your family, etc. The purpose was to teach but it was not clear who the student was in this scenario. I talked slowly and tried to introduce new English vocabulary and improve pronunciation but I had so much to learn about Lao culture.
The conversation veered significantly when tears started to well up in her eyes and she told me that her boyfriend had broken up with her the previous night. His Mother had told him they would never have a happy marriage since under the Chinese Zodiac their birth years (rat and rooster) were incompatible. It veered to a darker place when she told me of the suicide of her cousin that week. We talked about the way our cultures looked at suicide and the dark mystery that leaves us with grief and unanswered questions. This was clearly much more than a basic English practice-session.
When she had to leave for work, a trio of young Hmong men walked in and I went from a drama to slap stick comedy. Koob had a sly smile and a facile use of English that he employed to tease me and his two friends. He works for a trekking company and hopes to move to Thailand to continue to move up in the world of tourism. Hawj was an exceptionally diligent student – peppering me with questions, asking for help with specific challenges he faced with grammar and driving the conversation. He worked at two restaurants and participated in free morning and evening sessions at Big Brother Mouse. I asked him what he did for fun and he was perplexed. After a few tries, he understood and said that pleasure would come later – now he must work and learn in order to be successful. Suav was a full-time student in English and technology but was very shy. I tried to draw him out but Koob would usually jump in to steer the exchange to a joke. After an hour with them, I was still chuckling. This video give you a sense of the experience.
I found myself volunteering again when I stopped at Khaiphaen for lunch. I needed a quick meal before we left for Hanoi and knew that Khaiphaen was part of the TREE global alliance of vocational training restaurants that educate street kids and other at-risk youth. We had enjoyed a meal in Phnom Penh at one of these restaurants (In fact Jane and I tried deep fried tarantula – I don't recommend it) so I was glad to have this opportunity in Laos. While I was there, all of the wait staff sat together at a table to hone their math skills between bringing out dishes and my waiter ended up sitting with me to practice his English.
There are so many people striving for a better life. I only hope that the time I spent volunteering had half as much value to the young people I met as the blessings they gave to me.


October 28, 2014 — The members of Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship stand steadfastly by the resolution proposed by Al Lord and backed by the alumni-elected trustees. We are disheartened by the artificial time constraints placed on the meeting for a topic of such significant importance to our University. While the resolution was not approved, the victory for alumni and Penn State today was a roll call vote that illuminated individual positions on the Freeh Report. Those individuals will no doubt be held to their positions as the Report undergoes legal examination in a court of law, and will be held accountable for their breach of fiduciary responsibility as a result of their support of such a flawed investigation and resulting conclusions.

Q: Codificação de String - Haskell O seguinte código faz uma codificação sobre uma sequência de caracteres iguais, substituindo a sequência por !na, onde n é o número de vezes que o caractere a é repetido. Note que ele só comprime sequencias maiores que 3.
comprime :: String -> String
comprime "" = ""
comprime [c] = [c]
comprime (c:st) = let (seq,rest) = span (==c) (c:st)
                      len = length seq
                  in if len > 3 then ("!" ++ show len ++ [c]) ++ comprime rest
                     else seq++(comprime rest)

Visualizando:
ghci> comprime "asdffffghjjkllllpoooi"
"asd!4fghjjk!4lpoooi"

Minha dúvida é: Como eu conseguiria fazer o inverso? Por exemplo, trocar !4f por ffff? Eu não sei como pegar o caractere após o '!' e usá-lo como o número de vezes que o próximo caractere (no exemplo, 'f') se repete. Eu tentei usar o mesmo código mas n fez muito sentido pro compilador.

A: esta função expande a compressão acima

u ('!':n:c:oo)=replicate (read [n]) c ++ u oo
u (o:oo)=o:u oo

exemplo (ghci):

u "asd!4fghjjk!4lpoooi"
"asdffffghjjkllllpoooi

é uma função recursiva e apenas funciona se o numero de replicações for inferior a 10, no entanto serve de inspiração para uma forma mais completa
se fosse de minha escolha eu usaria uma codificação inicial diferente, uma que não envolvesse o parse do inteiro

Engel organomelt enters a new dimension in auto lightweighting
Automotive and Mobility
Automation & Motion Control, Injection Molding, Materials
From 16 to 23 October at the K 2019 trade fair, Engel will be taking the next major development step in the series production of thermoplastic-based lightweight composites. At the show in Düsseldorf, Germany, the injection molding machine manufacturer and systems solution provider will be using the organomelt process to produce demo parts that reflect the latest innovations for car door modules. The production cell Engel will be exhibiting is the first in the world to use infrared radiation to heat up and form three organic sheets of differing thicknesses, as well as shaping a high-quality visible surface in the same injection molding process stage. The system will be equipped with three Engel easix articulated robots all operating at the same time.
The production cell is the first in the world to use infrared radiation to heat up and form three organic sheets of differing thicknesses, as well as shaping a high-quality visible surface in the same injection molding process stage. (Picture: Engel)
The different stresses on the individual component areas can be dealt with thanks to the targeted selection of organic sheets on the basis of load distribution. (Picture: Brose)
"Thermoplastic composites are growing in importance when it comes to lightweighting in the automotive industry," reports Dr. Norbert Müller, head of Engel's Center for Lightweight Composite Technologies. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, the consistent thermoplastic approach makes it possible to efficiently integrate the forming and functionalization of fiber-reinforced prepregs, which reduces unit costs. Secondly, the exclusive use of thermoplastic polymers makes it easier to develop recycling strategies. "Returning composite components to the material loop at the end of their service life is one of the priorities for ongoing development in the electric vehicle sector," Müller notes. "Thermoplastic solutions are now becoming an increasingly frequent method, even within aircraft construction."
Engel's answer to the need for sustainable transport is organomelt. In the organomelt process, fiber-reinforced prepregs with a thermoplastic matrix such as organic sheets and tapes are heated, inserted into the mold, formed there and directly overmolded with thermoplastic. The process has already been used in high-volume manufacturing, with Engel organomelt used for fully automated production of items such as front end carriers.
As this process undergoes further development, Engel is working together with its customers and partners on the production aspects of designing composite components with a targeted load distribution. "In the future, several different prepregs will be combined for each component to tailor the lightweight construction characteristics to the relevant component's shape as well as the different stresses on individual areas inside the component," Müller explains. "The production cell at the K show will clearly demonstrate that great potential."
The molding process to be exhibited at K was developed in partnership with automotive part supplier Brose. This is currently the only system in the world that can simultaneously process three differently shaped organic sheets between 0.6 mm and 2.5 mm in thickness in a fully automated process involving integrated IR ovens. The different stresses on the individual component areas can be dealt with thanks to the targeted selection of organic sheets on the basis of load distribution – an outcome that Brose has helped to ensure through a variety of simulation processes. The demo part to be produced at the K show, for instance, is more rigid in its window frame area than on the inside of the door.
One of the challenges with processing organic sheets is the heating of the prepregs. The time they take to heat and cool depends on their thickness. Heating the material quickly without damaging it is important, as is a fast and straightforward transition to the mold for the heated prepreg. The organomelt production cell to be featured at K is based on a duo 3660/800 injection molding machine and includes two integrated IR ovens for this reason. There is a vertical IR oven positioned directly above the clamping unit to heat up the organic sheet, which is only 0.6 mm thick. This way, the thin organic sheet reaches the mold in practically no time, ensuring that it has not yet cooled down and become impossible to form. A standard, horizontal IR oven on a pedestal above the moving platen will be used for the two thicker organic sheets (1 mm and 2.5 mm). This arrangement shortens the distance between the oven and the mold, as well as saving space since the oven does not need separate floor space. Both of the IR ovens were developed and manufactured in-house by Engel. These and the three easix robots are fully integrated with the IMM's CC300 control unit and can be centrally controlled via the machine's display.
All three organic sheets are heated up at the same time. Two of the three easix robots are then available to handle the organic sheets. These are located next to one another above the clamping unit. While the first robot is responsible for handling the two thicker organic sheets, the second robot takes care of the thinnest sheet. During the entire heating process, it holds the organic sheet in front of the vertical radiation field so that it can be placed into the mold after the set heating-up period is over. The third robot is located next to the clamping unit. Its job is to remove the molded part, while at the same time moving one of the three organic sheets into the mold for the injection molding process.
The organic sheets, which were obtained from Chinese compounder Kingfa, are made of glass fibers and use polypropylene as their matrix material. When the mold – built by Georg Kaufmann Formenbau – closes, the organic sheets are formed. Immediately afterward, they are overmolded with glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene within the same mold. Reinforcing ribs are shaped on the back of the component, while a leather-look grain is shaped on the visible side. "When directly overmolding the organic sheets, we can achieve an outstanding grained leather look, which was previously seen as impossible when it came to organic sheets," Müller stresses. "In that regard, we're laying the foundation for producing large structural thermoplastic door structures using the organomelt process in the future."
The production solutions developed by Engel at its Center for Lightweight Composite Technologies are distinctive for their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness – both essential requirements for high-volume production applications. "Engel's considerable expertise in automation plays a major role," says Walter Aumayr, vice president of Engel's Automation and Composite Systems division. With three Engel easix articulated robots all operating at the same time, the organomelt cell at Engel's stand will provide a truly state-of-the-art example of integrated composite processing. This high degree of integration makes this the most complex production cell that Engel will have ever showcased at a trade show, as well as simply being one of the most sophisticated systems on display at K 2019.
"The more process stages we incorporate and the more individual systems a production cell includes, the more complicated the process as a whole becomes," Aumayr acknowledges. "So as a systems solutions provider, Engel has ensured that there is a consistent operating logic and joint data management throughout the cell, making it far easier to use articulated robots. The easix robots can be operated relatively simply by the workers involved in injection molding on the shop floor."
A special aspect of Engel systems is that the IR ovens are also fully integrated into the CC300 control unit, ensuring that there is a uniform operating logic for the entire process. In addition, since the molding machine, robots and peripheral units all access the same database in the Engel systems solution, the risk of error decreases and efficiency increases. Without any need for additional hardware, the easix articulated robots can synchronize their movements with the movements in the mold, such as those of core-pulls or ejectors. "As a result, we can reduce both cycle times and capital outlay, especially when it comes to large-scale systems," Aumayr says.

Sheila Jeffreys

As a child in the 1950s, Sheila Jeffreys used to collect conkers in Bushy Park, Teddington. So did I, though I don't remember seeing her at the time. Our paths didn't cross officially until 1992, when we both found ourselves teaching at a Women's Studies summer school at Deakin University in Australia.
Her reputation – as a political lesbian who thought that feminist women ought not to have sexual relationships with men – had preceded her. Mine – as an unrepentant heterosexual who hadn't joined Women's Liberation in order to take instruction from other women on how to run my sex life – had quite possibly preceded me. I wondered how Sheila and I would get on when we shared a platform.
I found her delightful: uncompromising in most of her views (as I probably was in most of mine), but clear, well-informed, witty and courteous in her expression of them. Working with her was both educational and fun. The same could be said for reading some of her books, which I sought out when the summer school ended and we went our separate ways.
Trigger Warning is her latest. The book's title refers to the practice of some writers, speakers and broadcasters of alerting their audience that what follows may give offence – 'look away now', that sort of thing.
Sheila doesn't want you to look away. Back in the early 1970s, she made herself unpopular in some leftist circles by noting that what was referred to as sexual freedom just meant 'turning women into more enthusiastic sexual partners for men'. In 1978, she and other attendees at a national Women's Liberation conference organized a pornography exhibition to draw attention to porn as a form of violence against women. Headings included 'child porn', 'sadomasochism' and 'split beaver' (that's pornspeak for your vulva, in case you didn't know). Sheila's memoir recounts how the display drew protests from other feminists who 'complained that they should not have to look at such things.'
Other groups with whom Sheila's book takes issue include Rape Crisis workers who encourage rape survivors to seek comfort in psychotherapy, rather than converting their anger into activism; and some gay men.
Gay men and feminists have often made common cause, and with reason: both groups know what it is to be oppressed and marginalized by heterosexism. But Sheila Jeffreys warns of the dangers of conflating gay men's rights with transgenderism: the claimed rights of transsexuals and cross-dressers to 'impersonate women' and invade women-only spaces such as toilets, prisons, swimming pools, hospital wards and feminist events.
In her autobiographical journey through 50-odd years of gender politics, Sheila notes how another apparently-good cause became compromised in the 2000s when 'exponents of multiculturalism argued that religion and culture should be respected…(and) promoted tolerance of practices that were clearly representative of women's oppression, such as the covering of women and arranged marriages, all in the name of tolerance of difference.'
People who are likely to be throw-the-book-across-the-room offended by this sort of thing will have stopped reading Trigger Warning long ago (if they ever started), but they will have missed out on this individualistic, idiosyncratic, bracing autobiography. The photographs are nice too, ranging from Sheila as a mid-twentieth century Brownie to Sheila a few decades later, whizzing round Korea on a book tour.
Disappointingly, Trigger Warning has no index or footnotes. This makes it difficult sometimes to follow a theme, as the author's ideological positions and political activism intertwine with her travels round the world, her love life and friendships, and the development of her literary and academic career.
The defensive irony of the book's title should not discourage feminists of all tendencies from observing Sheila Jeffreys' journey, probably not sharing all of it, but enjoying her wit, acuteness of vision, political logic and emotional honesty.

2016 Elderton E Series Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley
Red | Drink now | Elderton | Code: 56715 | 2016 | Australia > South Australia > Barossa Valley | Other Varieties | Medium Bodied, Dry | 14.5 % alcohol
The Wine Advocate - A blend of Langhorne Creek and Barossa fruit, the 2016 E Series Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon ages in 500-liter puncheons. It combines herbal, tea-like notions with cherries on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's supple, easy to drink and finishes with a tart edge. Think of it as a midweek-burger red.
Joe Czerwinski - 31/08/2018
Elderton was established in 1984 by Neil Ashmead - it is now run by Allister and Cameron Ashmead.
The winery is located on the banks of the Barossa Valley`s North Para River just outside the town of Nuriootpa. The fruit is drawn from 31 hectares of high-quality vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Aged between 40 and 102 years old, coupled with minimal irrigation, the vines produce rich, concentrated fruit showing off classic varietal flavours.
Its flagship wine is the Command Shiraz, which is made from small parcels of vines planted in 1939 and 1947. It is matured in American oak puncheons for 24 months and is one of the richest and concentrated examples of Barossa Shiraz to be found today.
Elderton released Tantalus to provide an easy drinking style of premium red at an every day drinking price. Tantalus was a figure from Greek Mythology who was punished for offending the Gods by being kept perpetually thirsty and hungry but tantalised by water and fruit he could see, but not quite reach.
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.
Barossa Valley is the South Australia's wine industry's birthplace. Currently into its fifth generation, it dates back to 1839 when George Fife Angas' South Australian Company purchased 28,000 acres at a £1 per acre and sold them onto landed gentry, mostly German Lutherans. The first vines were planted in 1843 in Bethany, and by the 1870s – with Europe ravaged by war and Phylloxera - Gladstone's British government complemented its colonies with preferential duties.
Fortified wines, strong enough to survive the 20,000km journey, flooded the British market. Churchill followed, between the Wars, re-affirming Australia's position as a leading supplier of 'Empire wines'. After the Second World War, mass European immigration saw a move to lighter wines, as confirmed by Grange Hermitage's creation during the 1950s. Stainless-steel vats and refrigeration improved the quality of the dry table wines on offer, with table wine consumption exceeding fortified for the first time in 1970.
Averaging 200 to 400 metres' altitude, the region covers 6,500 hectares of mainly terra rossa loam over limestone, as well as some warmer, sandier sites – the Cambrian limestone being far more visible along the eastern boundary (the Barossa Ranges) with Eden Valley. Following a diagonal shape, Lyndoch at the southern end nearest Gulf St Vincent is the region's coolest spot, benefiting from sea fogs, while Nuriootpa (further north) is warmer; hot northerlies can be offset by sea breezes. The region is also home to the country's largest concentration of 100-year-old-vine Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvedre.
Barossa Valley Shiraz is one of the country's most identifiable and famous red wine styles, produced to a high quality by the likes of Rockford, Elderton, Torbreck and Dean Hewitson. Grenache and Mourvèdre are two of the region's hidden gems, often blended with Shiraz, yet occasionally released as single vineyard styles such as Hewitson's 'Old Garden', whose vines date back to 1853. Cabernet Sauvignon is a less highly-regarded cultivar.
Wines are traditionally vinified in open concrete fermenters before being cleaned up and finished in American and French oak barrels or 'puncheons' of approximately 600 litres. Barossa Shiraz should be rich, spicy and suave, with hints of leather and pepper.

Q: .htaccess passing domain name I am trying to Rewrite path in .htaccess
=-=-=-=-=-EDIT=-=-=
Hi I may not have expressed my problem clearly.
So here's a live example of my problem.
"http://fames.in/site/bollywoodhungama.com" - works fine
"http://fames.in/site/bollywoodhungama.com/2" - error

The format of the url is:
http://fames.in/site/(site name)/(page number)

I use the following codes in .htaccess
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ sitelist.php?q=$1&page=1
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ sitelist.php?q=$1&page=$2

the first line works fine.
In the second line of the code htaccess passess the whole parameters to 'q'. taking above url it is passed as "/sitelist.php?q=bollywoodhungama.com/2" . I need it to pass the 'q' and 'page' separately. Like "/sitelist.php?q=bollywoodhungama.com&page=2"

A: The problem is that the first rule is always matching. The .* is greedy so the /2 is part of the match. What you need is the change the match to 'anything but slash' like so:
RewriteRule ^site/([^/]*)$ sitelist.php?q=$1&page=1

So the second domain will fail to match, and then the second rule will match.
Not sue if you need more rules applied after this rule of not, but you may want to add 'last rule flag' [L] to the end of you rule.

Virgil Jacob was born on July 17, 1930 and passed away on March 25, 2018 in Woodstock, Illinois.
I met Virgil as he came into District Court, and after my absence for a couple of weeks, Virg came into the office and asked where I had been. I told him I had gotten married, and he asked what name I would put on the office door now, and I said it would stay the same, Hart, as Schwabauer would not fit. He said you do not mean Wally Schwabauer? I said yes, and that started a great friendship with Virg and Sue. You see Wally and Virg grew up in the same neighborhood on B Street. We shared a lot of time together and old memories between two buddies. I will miss Virg as I miss Sue, but know that the memories of two buddies will be shared in heaven together.

The Mouse Knight II: Squibble's Story
The Specter Squibble
I went back to the oak tree and the sewer grate, praying the entire way. My slingshot and nest were still there, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I put on my old, battle-worn armor, took up my shield that smelled of beer, put my beloved slingshot around my neck once more, and even wrapped the rag of a cloak around my shoulders. It was blue, my chivalric color. No one but my family was allowed to use it.
Thus resurrected, I hiked the distance to the new kingdom. When I arrived, not knowing what to expect, a mouse guardian in armor put a spear in front of me, blocking the entrance.
"Halt," he said. "Friend or foe?"
Sick of that horseshit, and remembering Percival's whipping all too well, I kicked him in the shin, took his spear, broke it over my knee, and went inside.
Several other mice had heard the commotion and saw me coming down the hall. One screamed outright. All of them fled. A rat even poked his head around the corner and upon seeing me, beat a hasty retreat. Rats and mice fled before me until I came to the grand hall and the newly installed throne of the king. The throne was surrounded by knights and soldiers, none of them happy about being there. I saw weapons tremble in brave paws, armor shaking upon trained shoulders. Only one mouse was not terrified of me.
BJ came off his throne and cautiously crawled down to me. The high guard parted to let him through as he rebuked them for thinking him unable to defend himself. He came up to my face with no fear whatsoever. He looked into my eyes a long time.
You must understand that by this time I looked like a supernaturally fierce wreck. I was covered in blood dating back to the Great War. I had fresh stuff on me as well in great amounts, and my fur was ragged with self-inflicted bites and scratches from mites. My armor looked just as it had the day I took it off - rotten, dirty, wrecked, and cut in a thousand places. Barely hanging on. My shield was dinged, beaten, bashed, and most of the paint on it chipped away. It also smelled like cheap alcohol. My cloak was a rag, but still barely blue, and my cracked sword belt was empty. But most of all, my vibe was different. I was a completely different mouse than BJ had last seen.
He held his gaze until he was satisfied, then bellowed, "Get this knight a weapon! Now!"
Someone handed me a plastic sword. It was blue.
I took it, put the tip in the ground, and knelt before the king.
"The specter has returned to the living then?" he said to me.
I looked up. "I have."
He motioned me to rise. While the entire room gawked in awe and horror, we went to the throne. He sat me beside it and turned to me as he sat down. He was older, like me. I could see it in him. But like me, he still felt full of life chi. His movements were not slow or forced. His eyes were still bright.
"Everyone thinks you are dead," he said. "And worse, haunting the park."
"I was. I did."
He gave me the look of deep focus and contemplation Nemo had done a few times. Finally, he nodded. "What now then?"
"I have a job to do, and a great plan to accomplish," I said. "I require the assistance of the entire mouse kingdom."
"You shall have it, prophet," he said.
"Whassat?" I said.
"Nemo had declared you a prophet to the mice. He said you are to take his place."
"Why would anyone need to take his place?" I asked.
"He is very ill, Squibble," the King told me. "He is slowly dying."
I said nothing.
"He traded his own life for your master's. I thought you knew."
I frowned. "I was dense."
He nodded. "You were you. Nothing more."
"How vast is the kingdom after the Great War?" I asked. "And how much money do we have?"
He raised his eyebrows. "This plan of yours must be big."
"Bigger than you could possibly imagine," I said. "And just as insane."
He chuckled. "We have over three thousand mice here in the new kingdom," he said. "And a few hundred back at the safe house. As for money, your orders have stood since the day you issued them, for all rodents world over to collect money and valuables. We have alot of money."
"How much?" I said.
He grinned. "More than you can possibly imagine." He told me how much.
I nodded. "The safe house? The human lived?"
"And gave a few mice permission to breed," he said, grinning, "to replenish the losses of the Great War."
"You, sire?" I asked.
"Yes, I had a few litters," he proudly announced, and waved his hand about the room. I saw his children gathered about, all young mice, princes and princesses, all staring at me as if I was some character from a fairy tale come to life. Perhaps to them I was. They all looked like BJ. Some looked like my master. I saw the family resemblance.
"Who else?" I asked.
"You'll see," he said.
"What of Percival?" I said. "I saw not his body at the site of the great battle."
"He left this journal at the battle camp," he gave me a mouse-sized book, full of writing. "I think perhaps, as a writer, it should go to you."
The old Squibble would have argued at being a writer, out of pure self conscience, but I took the book and said nothing.
"He also sent this letter just a week ago," he said, and some rats brought forth a piece of paper in an envelope with words scrawled upon it. The envelope's return address only said "Idaho."
I opened the letter and read it. It was addressed to me.
Dear Squibble,
I am in hot pursuit of our enemy. I see him always on the horizon. I would think he was toying with me but for the rewarding scent of his fear. We have not stopped except to sleep and eat when we must since that sad day in March.
So do what you must do, dear brother, for I have dedicated the short remaining months of my murine life to the damnation of our foe. I will harry him. I will chase him. I will pursue him with all my righteous wrath and willpower until he is ours. I will avenge my father, who did not deserve such a cowardly blow from behind. I shall give you the room you need to save mousekind, as you told us was your holy quest, even if I must use the rest of my days to do it.
Think of me well, Sir, forever racing after our hated enemy, not letting him rest to catch even one breath, spurred by divine endurance and determination, into the ever rising sun of the east.
Sir Percival
I set the letter down and closed my eyes. Such a grim task had fallen to Perky. He had been made for better things. My great calling had cost everyone too much. I could not waste one more moment.
"Tell all the mice, everywhere, to continue gathering the valuables," I told the King. "Tell them to gather gems, jewels, coins and paper. Tell them to learn the internet. Tell them to learn everything. Tell them to prepare for a great accounting of their evolution."
He nodded at me, his face taking on some of the awe that surrounded us. "It shall be so."
I turned to go, sheathing my new blue sword.
"Will you not stay with us a while?" He asked. "We can get you new armor, clean you up... repair your slingshot?"
"I will do that myself," I said. "I must return to the safe house, gather my things, and then come back here to the city."
"It is said you flew away, to the east, on the back of a great owl," the King said. "I must ask if that one legend is true. For my own sake."
"I did fly into the east on a great owl," I said. "And then I flew west in the hands of an archangel, to say goodbye to my master at the seashore." I faced the crowd now as well. Might as well quell the superstition with fact. "Then I went into the city and despaired of life for months. I fell far from home, and became an empty shell, a ghost, wandering the dark. I have risen from the underworld at last, and I have a difficult and grave task to perform. I will need all the help I can get."
In response, the mice and rats of the kingdom raised their weapons and voices in support, all bowing down to one knee. They did not hear me whisper, "Thank you," but BJ did.
I walked through the parted Red Sea of rodents to the exit and departed. Outside, a rat was waiting for me. It was the same rat from the lab whose father had been a sword of Michael. He was wearing the armor of a knight, and two friends stood by him also in knightly dress. They wore hats with tall feathers in them, and bore long swords at their sides made of steel. Their capes were black and gold - the colors given to Michael's family, though the twins preferred blood red.
I stood as they stared at me. "Yes?"
The first one I knew bowed low. "Sire," he said, "We beg leave to escort you to wherever you are going. We have never seen the safe house, and would go there."
"You are wearing the house colors of Michael Mousefriend," I said. "I assume you're sure of your lineage? Because I know of only two sons of Michael."
"King BJ confirmed it through The Great Nemo, sire," one said.
The one I knew said, "Michael may have had two sons and two daughters by his mate Baby, but before that, he had many mates, sire. The city is full of his offspring. We did not realize it until it was told to us upon arriving here, after you freed us from the lab. We brought the cure to Sendai and SDA here, and the King knighted us for it. We told him it was you who helped us, but he knighted us anyway."
"I see," I said. "Then you have names?"
He grinned. "I am Athos, my lord."
"I am Aramis," another said.
"I am Porthos," the last said.
I stared. "Are you serious?"
They nodded, proud of their names. And why not? BJ had named them, and he rarely ever did that.
"Okay," I said. "I will accept your escort. We must go to the park, to a great oak tree near a sewer grate."
Athos bent down so that I could get up behind his shoulders. I mounted my first steed. His hat was big. "Ummm... "I said.
He whipped his hat off. "Sorry, my lord."
"No problem. Onward."
Onward we went.
We went back to my stashed nest and I got the notes these very same rats and I had taken on my last trip to a lab. They recognized them, but said nothing.
"Do you know where the pickup point is for the safe house?" I asked.
Porthos nodded.
"We must go there and catch a ride to the safe house," I told them.
"Excellent, and with all due haste," Athos said. Aramis chuckled, but stifled it.
"What is it!" I said.
None of them spoke.
"Oh, come now - you've seen me near death, at least you must know I'm not some revenging phantom. What is it?"
"Well, sire," said Athos, "you don't exactly smell... nice."
(Heard something!)
"Is that so?" I said, grinning. "And this coming from a male rat."
He stiffened, clearly impugned. "Sir! I bathe on an hourly basis!"
"Alright, alright. I know I stink. The sooner we get there the better. I agree. Thank you for bearing such a stinky burden, Sir Athos."
"The honor outweighs the burden by far, my lord," he said, and bowed lightly as to not topple me off him.
Yep. Smooth as Mike ever was.
Together, we made ten times the ground I could have covered on my own, and in no time were waiting at the pickup point. It was, as I knew now, the Atelier corner. I gazed with longing at the school up the block. How I wanted to go there and draw. Oh, how I longed to try oil painting! I had good times there. Almost the best of times. But those had been with my master. I would continue to draw, maybe one day paint, but the rest of my life was going to be busy, and I knew I would never again get to spend Saturday nights at the Atelier doing something only for myself. I was a little sadder for it.
Several other mice showed up at the pickup spot. They were trying not to look at me or the rats, and Porthos was edging closer and closer to them every minute as they tried to edge away, working them into the wall with glee.
Finally I turned to them and snapped my fingers.
"Take a good look," I said. "Yep. It's Squibble the Damned. Back from Hell. Here to lop off the heads of bad mice. Beware, the Dread Pirate Squibble has come for your SOULS!"
I had been joking, but they fled in terror. Oops.
"Mayhap thou overdid it, sire," Aramis said, trying hard not to laugh. Finally, none of us could hold it back and we all busted up in laughter.
The car came an hour later.
Heide and the kind human stopped suddenly and came forward, dropping to their hands and knees before me, though it was to get a better view, and not worship of any kind. Thank goodness.
"Squibble!?" The kind human exclaimed.
He picked me up from Athos' back and ran his fingers lightly over my furry head. Flakes of dried blood fell from my hair.
"Oh, I can't believe it!" He cried. His eyes watered up. "It's really you! My prayers were heard! You're alive!"
I nodded again, glad for the affection after so long. I licked his finger. I felt my soul rise in his embrace, and I was grateful.
"We thought you were dead," Heide said, looking emotional as well. "Oh, what you must have been through!"
I looked toward the sea. You have no idea, humans.
No idea.

Four Parties in One
Category: Food & Drink
If you have several friends who live close together, throw a progression party! Each house has its own theme, and serves an appetizer and drink. Try these real-life ideas from a West Michigan Woman staffer's 2012 New Year's Eve.
At the first house, the theme was wine and cheese. They chose a variety of whites and reds to accommodate guests' different tastes. For more ideas for your wine and cheese party, check out "Entertaining by the Numbers."
The second house was themed after the popular Nintendo game–Mario Brothers. The hosts dressed as characters from the game, and served stuffed mushrooms and lasagna. Drinks were simple cans of beer decorated with different "power up" elements used by players of the game. Of course, T.V.'s were set up and ready to play Super Mario Brothers.
The third house was a luau where guests wore lays, did a limbo, and drank Mai Tais. Music to match the house's theme boosted the event, and food was served when guests arrived. Even though there were appetizers at the other houses, guests were still hungry for the pork and mango salsa the hosts served.
The final house was a disco party, and the hosts completed the theme with lighting, music and attire fit for the 70s.

see in the comentaries jesters insulting this work and I said: fucking cons ...I do not have and I will not read the manga but I am a drug addict with regard to the novel.the beginning is classic reincarnate and in addition he has a gu allowing him to go back in time OMG IT'S OP !!! yes but it's just for the beginning and after we introduce you to the world and you understand it.and after the mc is in shit not possible. He betrays people, gets teased, kills people and gets almost killed and even killed (before coming back) BUT in the end he loses all his early gu (kind of worms with abilities) and at one point you surrender he has always been manipulated but he pulls himself together and in the right way (by plotting and killing his enemies).the novel is not for fucking fags who just watch livtimages. There is cruelty, malice, plots, the coherence of the text rarely seen at this time and especially the true intelligence of the Mc. not a fake smart guy whose deductions seem pre-arranged.then go read it because otherwise I fuck you

"A story of a villain". It is important to emphasize this first sentence of the synopsis. And when it is said "villain", interpret it as really a villain. Within its proposal, the work remains faithful in showing the footsteps of a wicked man who was corrupted many years ago. At the same time, his past steps are being described by the character himself as he remembers them. Gradually one can grasp the progress of philosophy which the protagonist has over darkness and light, and how much the world in which he lives is so corrupted by power.The only one who accompanies him in darkness is his own shadow, and the only witness to his thoughts is his own mind. That is why loneliness makes him self-centered, having as his only friend his wickedness. This is far from a story about a good guy. It's about a psychopath amid the slag, a lair of stinging snakes.So do not blame the work if you dislike its premise, it is in the blurb, you have been warned.
ferengi4 Apr 13, 2019
Story: The story is very very very generic. If you have read these kinda manhua's before you know the story. Character reincarnates to past self with OP power/skills/knowledge and then every chapter or every other chapter is just a "Person A doesn't like MC so they must die and because Person A is dead, Person B must take revenge for Person A". Really predictable and doesn't add anything new to the already over used concept. If you like these kinda brain less poorly translated stories then you might like this one. I really only read these to kill time. Art: Fair? I have seen far worst manhua's but I've also seen far better. It's not very offense but it also doesn't stand out. It's very mundane and feels cheap. I always wonder if these manhua's are all just made by the same guy because they all have similar cheap art that all look the same. Characters: Bland and generic, I think there was a few semi-interesting plots and stories but weren't done very good. I think if someone with actual story writing skills made this instead it would be a great read. A shame it's bland. Overall: If you haven't gotten sick of the other 500 copies of this type of story then it's an okay read. A decent time killer but not worth a read if you're looking for something good.

Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots
The Wolverine company was founded in 1883 by the revolutionary G.A Krause, an ideal contender pursuant of the American dream. He established two other companies in the old town of Rockford, Michigan prior to this personal venture. The two companies later funded production and a new shoe line. Krause believed in opportunity and became one of the nation's first profit sharing plans, and the heritage carries on. In the early 1900's, a special technique was developed by the company to process the horsehide shell and later crafted the genesis of the Wolverine boot. This unique method allowed the tough hide to become flexible and soft. The boot was coined the 1000 mile boot early on due to its dependability and longevity. After 130 years of high-demand, improvements allowed the company to surpass the 1000 milestone exponentially. The timeless style has made this boot the company's iconic American shoe.
Each feature of the Wolverine 1000 Mile boot reveals the meticulous details forged into the lineage of the boot. The Horween leather is the standard for the highest quality leathers around. While lacing the shoes, if you look close you will notice the metal eyelets and waxed leather shoestrings which gives the shoe structural integrity with a material that looks better with age. The more wear, the better it looks. Inside the boot is the cork midsoles which forms to the foot, preventing an unnatural fit and providing a worn comfort after use. The Vibram sole completes the classic look and feel of the shoe.
It is highly advised to get the Wolverine Leather Conditioner with the shoe. This add-on item will deep clean the leather and condition it to naturally resist water.

Joannie Rochette: A Spirit For Gold
Tragic News came to Canadian Olympic Figure Skater Joannie Rochette Sunday morning at the Olympic Village in Vancouver at the Winter 2010 Olympic Games, as her father and coach told her that her Mother Passed Away. Therese Rochette, aged 55 years old, died early Sunday morning, from a Massive Heart Attack after flying to see her daughter Joannie compete for a Gold Medal in Figure Skating, the Women's Singles Event.
The Tragic News
Joannie received the news that her mother had died early Sunday morning on February 21, 2010 at the Olympic Village in downtown Vancouver from her father Normand and her Coach, Manon Perron. Nonetheless, Joannie decided quickly that day that she would go on with her dream to capture the Gold Medal. Of course, that is what her mother would have wanted.
A Determined Decision
Sunday afternoon, Joannie was scheduled to practice at the Olympic arena with media there to take pictures and interview the athletes. It's hard to believe that she showed up under the conditions of sadness and sorrow that she was feeling. To perform at an Olympic Level requires extreme focus and precision and any distractions and emotions could be very detrimental to the performance. But Joannie got through it and faced the public with Amazing Perseverance.
Perfect Positioning
Joannie is now skating an amazing program at the Olympics. She placed 3rd Place in the Women's Short Program, which gives her a shot for the Gold Medal at the Main Event. She is 7 Points behind Yu-Na Kim of South Korea, which is a very big lead, but she is also 7 Points in front of the 4th Place Position which gives her a great shot to get t the podium for an Olympic Medal.
A Transcending Inspiration
Joannie is an Inspiration to Athletes all over the World for her Dedication to her sport and Perseverance through a Heartbreaking Moment . Millions of people will be watching her Thursday Night at the Women's Single Program and some say that her Mother will also be there with a Special Connection to her daughter Joannie.

Welcome back as we wrap up this week's Top 40 Countdown! If you missed the previous songs, you can go back and check out songs 40-31, 30-21 and 20-11. This week has been a little different as we stretched all the way back to the '70s. Now, let's Return to the week ending May 28, 1977, and see what was at the top of the charts the weekend that Star Wars opened.
What an awesome way to start the Top 10! This was Foreigner's debut single. It is a perfect Foreigner song, as it has a rockin' guitar, soaring vocals, just about every instrument is on full display, and the harmonies are great.
This is a pretty good song that I had not heard before today. I like the piano and guitars in this song. This was Andrew Gold's biggest U.S. hit, peaking at #7. Linda Ronstadt sings a blink-and-you-miss-it background vocal in the second verse.
Kenny Rogers picked a fine time to leave The First Edition. This was Kenny's first solo hit of many in his incredible career.
This is a pretty good song by the British blues band. This song seems like it could have been a hit in any decade.
Here is a Rocky theme we all know and love. It is a great song for a blockbuster film. After this weekend in 1977, this song was overshadowed by the soundtrack of a new little independent film called Star Wars.
This was a huge, worldwide hit by Marvin Gaye. This is a pretty cool funk/disco tune. Unfortunately, this is the song that brought us the (song thieves) Robin Thicke and Pharrell 2013 hit, "Blurred Lines".
This is hard to believe. This song was Fleetwood Mac's only U.S. #1 hit. This was a Stevie Nicks penned song from the legendary Rumours album.
This is a fun dance song by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. This song was a #1 hit on this chart, and a #3 hit on the R&B chart.
This is a really nice ballad by the British singer=songwriter Leo Sayer. It had also been a #1 hit on this chart. I have no idea why he is wearing a Buffalo Sabres jersey in the video, other than he must be performing in Buffalo.
What a way to close out the week! As much as I like a lot of Stevie's songs in the '80s, I prefer his '70s work. This song is a tribute to Duke Ellington, who was an influence on Stevie Wonder, and had just died three years earlier. This song is instantly recognizable by it's horn section that begins the track. Wonder also refers to other jazz legends Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
Well, that wraps up this week's Top 40. I hope you enjoyed this. Let me know what you think. Even though this is an '80s site, do you mind venturing over to a different decade, occasionally?
I hope you all have a totally awesome and peaceful holiday season! Until next time, Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.

The University of Missouri's future physicians learn where they will begin their careers as residents.
Match Day is the annual event in which fourth-year medical students around the nation simultaneously learn where they will spend the next three to seven years as resident doctors. COVID-19 caused some modifications to MU's usual Match Day group celebration, but at 11 a.m., students separately opened the envelopes to see where they've been accepted for the next stage of their training.
"Match Day is the culmination of four years of hard work that our students go through," said Laine Young-Walker, MD, associate dean for student programs and chair of the Department of Psychiatry. "This can be life-changing for our students. We couldn't celebrate all together as we traditionally have, but we came up with an alternate plan where students are picking up their match results from different locations around campus and then recording when they open their results so that we can share that moment with them."
The MU School of Medicine's Class of 2021 was highly sought after, with 97% of the students receiving a residency program match. Of that group, 27% will stay at MU for residency training, 37% will remain in the state and 32% will specialize in high-need care fields.
The National Resident Matching Program conducts an annual match process designed to optimize the choices of medical students and residency program directors. Students rank their residency program choices in order of preference, and program directors rank students. The data is put into a computer, and the best match for both is made. In the third week of March, results of the matches are announced. More than 48,000 medical school graduates compete for approximately 35,000 residency positions each year.
While the majority of medical students match through the National Resident Matching Program, an increasing number of students match through early residency match programs, which include urology, ophthalmology and military match.
In May, 122 students will graduate from the School of Medicine, including 26 who have spent the last two years learning at the Springfield Clinical Campus. The Springfield location was established in June 2016 in partnership with CoxHealth and Mercy health systems to address the physician shortage in Missouri and nationwide. The program allows medical students to train in precision health by learning the nuances of rural medicine firsthand.

Q: INSERT command inserting duplicates I am writing a quiz website.
What should happen is:

*

*A page has a question on it and four buttons or a textbox.

*When you click a button, it calls itself with
the answer number in the address
like: ?q=[question number]&a=[answer].

*If the question
uses a textbox it POSTs the answer.

*This code should then detect that
something has been sent to it and
write that to a database.

*The user id is stored in a cookie.

*There is also a key column in the database. the idea is that it stores all answers a  user has submitted over time and users can change their answers.

<?PHP
    mysql_connect("------", "------", "------") or die();
    mysql_select_db("------") or die();
    $q=$_GET['q'];
    if(isset($_GET['a'])){
        $a=$_GET['a'];
    } else {
        $a=$_POST['longanswer'];
    }
    if(isset($a)){
        $u=$_COOKIE['id'];
        if($qust['atype']==1){
            mysql_query("INSERT INTO answers (`userid` ,`answer` ,`qid`) VALUES ($u, $a, $q);");
        } else {
            mysql_query("INSERT INTO answers (`userid` ,`answer` ,`qid`) VALUES ($u, '$a', $q);");
        }
    }
?>

I don't think it should matter, but later on on the code, it queries the database with the SELECT command.
When i run this code, it seems to enter 2 or 3 entries to the database. The trend seems to be that when i run the code it enters the previous answer, followed by the new answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Logan

A: It seems like what you want to do is to allow only one answer per question per user. If that's the case, you'll want a UNIQUE constraint on your table on userid and qid:
ALTER TABLE answers ADD UNIQUE(userid,qid);

This will result in an error when you try to insert a row with the same userid and qid. If you want to allow users to change their error, you can change your INSERT query to:
INSERT INTO answers (userid ,answer ,qid) VALUES ($uid, '$answer', $qid) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE answer='$answer'

This will prevent multiple records from showing up in the database, but multiple INSERTs might still be called from your PHP code. To fix that, we'd have to see some more of your code.

A: Another option would be to first try to retrieve the data you're about to enter into the database. If you find it, it's already there, so don't add it again. The suggestions for using constraints are sound but if the data you're trying to prevent duplicates of isn't easily added to the constraints or the data you don't want duplicates of is not exactly the same data (say just similar data) then this is another option.

A: The unique constraint mentioned by cmptrgeekken should definately be added if you only allow one answer per user, but then you must also handle the primary key violation if it occurs: Inform the user it has already replied OR replace the previous value, depending of how you want the site to work.
Also, Is for some reason the request triggered more than once? Maybe by javascript, or some other logic of yours? If duplicate answers appears when you only click once, this seems to be the case.

Former Syracuse running back Jerome Smith ready for his 'marquee event' at NFL combine
By Nate Mink | nmink@syracuse.com
jerome smith.jpg
Former Syracuse running back Jerome Smith (45) will participate in the NFL Scouting Combine on Feb. 22-25 in Indianapolis. Former defensive tackle Jay Bromley will also participate.
(For the Post Standard: Thomas B. Shea)
Syracuse, N.Y. — Jerome Smith thinks it's the "perfect time" for him to work out and interview in front of NFL teams. The stocky, durable running back from Syracuse University is more thud than flash, more violent than elusive, a running style that marked the most recent playoffs after impressive performances by LeGarrette Blount and Marshawn Lynch.
"I think the smaller, change of pace backs, I think they're awesome to have," Smith said by phone Monday night, "but you still need that workhorse and that downhill back. "That ground-and-pound tactic still works in the NFL."
Smith, the 5-foot-11, 226-pounder, will get his chance to prove he can bring such value to professional football when he participates in the NFL Scouting Combine on Feb. 22-25 in Indianapolis. Smith will fly to Indy on Thursday and is expected to compete in the six on-field drills and positional drills.
» Former Syracuse football defensive tackle Jay Bromley ready to set the tone at NFL combine
Of all the drills, Smith views the 40-yard dash as his "marquee event." A common perception with Smith is he lacks the speed that is so coveted by scouts and general managers. He spent most of the offseason training at Bommarito Performance System in Davie, Fla., focusing on his speed training under owner Pete Bommarito.
Smith declined to state his goal for the 40 but said he has already hit the number he wants to beat at the combine.
"Most people think I'm going to run 4.6," Smith said. "But I got a little surprise. I'm ready
for it."
The combine records players' 40 times at 10-, 20- and 40-yard intervals. A fast start is almost imperative for Smith. Additionally, the three-cone and shuttle drills are important tests for Smith to measure his lateral quickness and change of direction. Any pass-catching drills are important, he said, because he wants to show he's an every-down back.
Smith has registration and X-rays taken on Saturday. On Sunday, he will get measured and undergo more medical testing before meeting with the media. Monday, he will take the Wonderlic test, hope to complete 17-to-20 reps on the 225-pound bench press and meet with NFL teams, and Tuesday is when he will complete the remainder of the on-field and positional drills.
It's a dizzying grind that is considered perhaps the most important pre-draft date before the NFL Draft in May. Former Syracuse safety Shamarko Thomas told Smith the combine is "a bit of a mental drain." Smith also consulted with former Syracuse running backs Curtis Brinkley, Delone Carter, Antwon Bailey and Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy about the process, being told to trust his training and embrace the opportunity.
Thomas had a memorable combine moment last year after he fell at the end of his 40-yard dash. He still ran an official time of 4.42 seconds, the fastest among all safeties. "Anybody that runs what he ran would be proud to fall at the end of it," said Smith, who signed with the same agent as Thomas.
The combine catapulted Thomas up draft boards and eventually landed him in Pittsburgh as the Steelers' fourth-round pick.
Smith, who left Syracuse with one year of eligibility remaining, is projected as a seventh-round pick or undrafted free agent, according to CBS Sports. The bottom line on Smith, according to NFL.com, is that he "will have to earn his keep as an inside runner, though he faces an uphill battle to earn a spot as a reserve." It's a blunt, candid assessment, a jump-off point Smith can use to change the conversation.
He's ready.
"It'll be bigger names there," Smith said. "This is where the playing level is even and they have to prove it and I'll prove it. I think everything will take care of itself."

Sometimes It Helps to Know a Big Fish
April 19, 2014 by Chellie
Updated insider information by Chellie Campbell, author of "The Wealthy Spirit: Daily Affirmations for Financial Stress Reduction"
109-April 19
"A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back again when it begins to rain."—Robert Frost
Sometimes, when you're a little fish, you can get what you need by enlisting the support and help of a big fish.
After I graduated from college and got a job, I qualified to get my first credit card, a Bankamericard. (Those were the dark ages, before credit card companies found out how lucrative it was to give credit cards to students.) I used the card intermittently, and always made my payments on time. I had an excellent credit record.
When I got married three years later, I asked to have my husband's name added to my card. They immediately asked for me to turn in my credit card, telling me that I had to reapply for credit with my husband. (I told you those were the dark ages.) I dutifully filled out another application, along with my husband.
They denied our application.
They denied it on the basis that he was a free-lance actor, therefore self-employed, therefore without verifiable income. We were angry, but didn't know what we could do, until we saw a Bankamericard commercial on television, starring Dennis Weaver. Weaver, at the time, was the president of the Screen Actors Guild! Without further ado, we wrote a scathing letter to Mr. Weaver, telling him in no uncertain terms that we were very unhappy that the president of our union was supporting a company that denied credit to actors.
Within two days, we received a two-page letter from Dennis Weaver's attorneys. Attached was a copy of the letter they had sent to the Bank of America demanding that this matter be rectified. The day after that, I received a call from the president of the Bank of America, asking me what he could do to make me happy. I said he could send me a Bankamericard. You can bet I had one the next day. I wrote thank you notes to him, to Dennis Weaver, and to his attorneys.
You can have right on your side, but it helps to have might on your side, too. Is there a place in your life where you see injustice? Can you do something about it? Will you alone have enough resources to get the job done? Or do you need to enlist the support of someone else?
Walk softly, but know a big fish.
Today's Affirmation: "I have powerful supporters who help me accomplish great things!"
When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, there weren't any role models for what I wanted to do. In all of the families in my neighborhood, the moms were homemakers and the dads worked at an outside job. In those days, job ads were classified under "men wanted" and "women wanted" and the job descriptions were really different. Working women were secretaries, nurses, and teachers – not executives, doctors, or professional speakers. I believe I picked "acting" as a profession because it was as close as I could get to independent business owner. There was no woman I knew or even read about who owned a business.
I was lucky in one important respect – I was the oldest child of 3 girls, and research has shown that often in these family circumstances, the father will give more success-oriented instruction to the eldest daughter when there are no male children. My dad always encouraged me to be a winner, to get good grades, to be president of a club, the lead in the school play. Still, when I brought the boys home and beat them at ping-pong, Dad took me aside and said, "Let the boy win." Too late, dad! I loved winning and being in charge of things and I wasn't going to stop.
When I graduated from college in 1970, women's lib was just getting started. "Equal pay for equal work" was the motto, and arguments were made for fair employment practices for all. The Civil Rights Act, Title VII and other legislation made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender. Overtly. But so much of it is subtle and pervasive that we don't even see it, or when we do, we think it's the natural order of things.
Part of the problem is that women just aren't taught or encouraged to negotiate their salaries, ask for bonuses and promotions, or research exactly what their worth is in the marketplace. In school, you work hard on your assignments, turn in your work on time, obey the rules, and bingo! You get a pat on the head, a gold star, and an A. Try that at work and see what you get: a pat on the head, additional assignments, overtime without pay. And maybe a new title – but that would also be without a raise in pay. I've met so many women over the years who were angry and resentful over this "injustice". No one ever told them that the game is played differently in the real world and that to succeed in business meant they had to develop new skils like promoting themselves, tooting their horns, and asking for what they wanted – loudly and more often. Ah. But the hitch was, if you did that, you were a bitch. The "bitch hitch" is what keeps women locked into submissive strategies that don't work.
In the book, "Women Don't Ask" by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, they outline some of the ways in which men still control the majority of the economic environments in which women live and work. Only 10.9% of the members of the boards of directors of Fortune 1000 companies are women. Although women own about 40% of all businesses in the US, they only receive 2.3% of the available equity capital needed for growth. Men get the other 97.7%.
As recently as 2001, 98% of child-care workers, 82% of elementary school teachers, 91% of nurses, 99% of secretaries, and 70% of social workers in the US were women. 87% of corporate officers of the 500 largest companies, 90% of all engineers, 98% of all construction workers, and 70% of all financial managers were men.
A 1999 study showed that the percentage of women used as experts in business and economic newscasts on the 3 major TV networks averaged 18%; only 31% of all business and economic news stories were filed by female correspondents, 11% of authors of business and economic news stories were women. Business Week financial articles about influential individuals focused on men 92% of the time.

"Chellie's teachings, affirmations, words, workshop homework and, most importantly, her wisdom and fun-loving spirit helped shift old patterns and belief systems and revolutionize my life — above and beyond the finances.During her workshop, money flowed to me in increasing amounts even though Iwas starting up a new business at the time did not have a product to sell. I followed her homework suggestions and did the daily affirmations and my old programming about money dramatically shifted… money showed up in the form of unearned income: a reduction in my home and office rent, lowered rates through vendors and extra capital from investors--without asking. Even the right materials for my designs showed up in October--after a frustrating and exhaustive 1 1/2 year global search. But the most important shifts came through changes in my belief system which helped me build a solid foundation for my budding business. I am grateful to Chellie, her wit, smile and laughter--her gold shoes and magic wands. My business, my health, my wealth and I thank you! Take Chellie's workshop-- it will change your life! You will never fear your finances again!" — P. Hamilton, P. Hamilton Design

"I have to tell you this is the most fun workshop/class/seminar I've ever taken — and you know what a seminar junkie I am. Besides getting a lot of great information and meeting wonderful people (Dolphins, as Chellie calls us), it's just a kick to spend time with one of the most enlightened and entertaining women I've ever met. One of the results I've gotten from the class: I'm about to pay off $24,000 of my $32,000 credit card debt (mostly from seminars, instructional books and CDs!). Another: I'm inspired to start my own coaching sessions and workshops. In my book, Chellie is a goddess! — Moira Shepard, Radio Host, 310-923-8551, www.TriumphOverTrauma.com

UF vet plays key role in care of "star" dolphin
UF vet plays key role in care of "star" dolphin
Dr. Mike Walsh
Anyone paying attention to entertainment news these days knows about the new movie, Dolphin Tale, which opened Sept. 23 in theatres and tells the true story about Winter, a dolphin that survived entanglement in a buoy line by subsequently being outfitted with a prosthetic tail. What's perhaps less commonly known is that the character of Winter's veterinarian, played by Harry Connick Jr., is loosely based on none other than the University of Florida's Dr. Mike Walsh.
Walsh, who is associate director of the College of Veterinary Medicine's Aquatic Animal Health program, also performs veterinary services at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which is where Winter has resided since being rescued by scientists from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce back in 2005. Aquarium staff contacted Walsh, who was director of veterinary services at Sea World in Orlando at the time, to ask his advice about how to best obtain blood samples from the impaired dolphin.
"I first had contact with Winter when she was a baby, and because she was missing her tail, there was confusion as to how to get blood samples from her on a regular basis to keep track of what was happening with her," Walsh said. "The probability of infection was high, so we needed to monitor blood on a regular basis."
Winter, shown at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
Winter had lost her tail because the blood supply to it had been cut off when she was tangled in the buoy line, Walsh said. He recommended that samples be taken from the peduncle, the area between the dorsal fin and the tail since it could not be obtained from the tail, which is standard for obtaining blood samples from most dolphins but was impossible in Winter's case.
A year or so later, Walsh was serving as the park's veterinarian. Many companies and individuals had approached the park about creating some type of prosthetic tail, but deciding whether this was a feasible option – as an alternative to euthanasia – and what the safest approach was, took some time, Walsh said. Eventually the park wound up working with a company called Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics of Waterville, Maine.
"They had the best idea for achieving the goal without hurting Winter's skin or causing other problems, and we thought that working with David Yates' team at Clearwater was going to be a long term benefit for Winter," Walsh said. He added that Winter's success from a medical perspective was greatly impacted by Dr. Janine Cianciolo, who took care of her after her injury and nursed the dolphin, along with other members of the aquarium's team, through infection, wound healing and growth.
Five years later, Winter is doing well, Walsh said. However, he cautions that managing her tail is an ongoing, lifetime issue.
"We still have a great need to continue to make progress and to make things even better over the long run," he said, adding that as Winter grows, the needs of her tail change also.
Winter's prosthetic fin is "like a sock made for a certain sized shoe," Walsh said. "Her tail has been modified many times by the Hanger group team headed by Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, and we have gone through numerous prototypes as a result as the need for change. Each time we introduce a new tail, we have to go through a readaptation process, depending on how well it fits and the degree of propulsion she gets from it."
Veterinarians need to make sure not only that Winter is moving properly and building her muscles, but also that she can function well in a multiple animal environment with individuals that have normal tail structure, Walsh said.
"The challenge with Winter is coming up with solutions to a problem that no one has dealt with before," Walsh said. "This is where the College of Veterinary Medicine excels."
When filming took place for the movie, Walsh spent a day at the park with Harry Connick, Jr., talking to him about various medical issues experienced by animals there, including showing the star how some stranded sea turtles were being treated.
For his involvement, Walsh was offered two tickets to the movie's premier in Los Angeles, although he turned them down due to other obligations.
Others from UF have also played an important role in Winter's care over the past few years, including Dr. Carolina Medina, chief of the college's acupuncture and rehabilitation service, and Dr. Nicole Stacy, a clinical pathologist.
Medina said she had gone to see Winter several times in the past two years, adding that she performed acupressure, laser therapy and therapeutic ultrasound, and in addition, showed Winter's trainers how to perform massage and stretching exercises.
Stacy has been involved in processing and interpreting diagnostic samples from Winter since 2009, "two to three times a week and more frequently during the time of filming last year for the purpose of monitoring her health during the process," Stacy said.

Zalabéri Horváth János Nepomuk György István (Zalabér, 1788. január 23. - Kőszeg, 1853. augusztus 1.) Zala vármegye alispánja, országgyűlési követe, királyi kamarás, nagybirtokos. Zalában a liberális reformkori eszmék egyik legfontosabb előharcosa.

Élete
A tekintélyes és tehetős nemesi származású zalabéri Horváth család sarja. Édesapja, zalabéri Horváth József (1740-1793) cs. és kir. kamarás, Zala vármegye alispánja, táblabíró, földbirtokos, édesanyja, ledeniczi Ugronovics Franciska (1747-1814) volt. Anyai nagyszülei ledeniczi Ugronovics István (1726-1830) Trencsén vármegye alispánja és dobói Dobay Anna (1725-1790) voltak. Édesapja, zalabéri Horváth József, a Zala vármegyei köznemeségén belül az egyik legtehetősebb földbirtokosnak számított: 16 úrbéri birtoka volt, amely összesen 971 úrbéri holdat alkotott. A legnagyobb, a 224 úrbéri holdas söjtöri, a második legnagyobb a 150 úrbéri holdas zalabéri birtoka volt. A földesúr uradalmaiban összesen 75 jobbágya és 181 zsellére lakott. Apai nagyszülei zalabéri Horváth Zsigmond (1706-1749) és Hartwigh Rozália (†1784) voltak.

Alap tanulmányai végzése után jogi tanulmányokat tett le. Hamarosan került kapcsolatba a liberális eszméket támogató értelmiségi körökkel. Zalabéri Horváth János 1831. június 20.-a és 1834. szeptember 22.-e között Zala vármegye első alispánja volt. Azalatt az idő alatt, 1832. november 5.-étől 1834. március 11.-áig a vármegye országgyűlési követe is volt Pozsonyban. Az egyik közeli barátja a országgyűlési követtársa kehidai Deák Antal volt, akinek az öccsét, Deák Ferencet zalabéri Horváth Jánost helyettesítette Zalában helyettes első alispánként otthon, miközben a rendes első alispán Pozsonyban volt. A pozsonyi országgyűlésen a befolyásos zalai első alispán mérsékelt ellenzékiként viselkedett. Amikor Deák Antal lebetegedett, a vármegye 1833. április 15.-én Deák Ferencet választották országgyűlési követté, és helyébe, vármegyei helyettes első alispánként boldogfai Farkas János lépett. Miután véglegesen hazatért Zala megyébe, zalabéri Horváth János átmenetileg szembefordult Deák Ferenc liberális reformpolitikájával, amikor a jobbágy felszabadítás került szóba. Az 1830-as évek végétől azonban már Csány László közeli barátjának számított, és a zalai ellenzék egyik fővezérének.

Horváth János 1843-ban a nemesi adófizetés mellett korteskedett, majd példaképp 1845-ben önkéntes adófizetést vállalt. Ekkor Zalaszentgróton a védegyleti fiók pénztárnoka volt. 1847-ben belépett az Országos Ellenzéki Körbe is. Zalai birtokait eladva még 1848 előtt Kőszegre költözött.

Házasságai és gyermekei
Zalabéri Horváth Jánosnak összesen 4 felesége volt élete során. Az első nejét, zsadányi és törökszentmiklósi Almássy Klárát (*1794.–†Zalabér, 1817. február 12.), 1811. június 9.-én vette el Gyöngyösön. A menyasszony szülei zsadányi és törökszentmiklósi Almásy József, földbirtokos és gróf hallerkeői Haller Krisztina asszony voltak. Horváth Jánosnak első feleségétől született:
zalabéri Horváth László (*Zalabér, 1812. június 25.–Pest, 1854. október 24.) főhadnagy, 1848-as honvéd őrmester, földbirtokos. Neje fáji Fáy Borbála (1829-1879).
Almássy Klára halála után, a második házastársa, gróf tolnai Festetics Jozefa (*1800–†Sopron, 1823. április 27.) lett, akit Sopronban 1822. április 9.-én vett el. A menyasszony szülei gróf tolnai Festetics József (1758–1843), földbirtokos és vizeki Tallián Johanna (1766–1843) voltak. Festetics Jozefa grófnő azonban alig egy év az esküvő után elhalálozott. Horváth János és gróf Festetics Jozefa frigyéből született:
zalabéri Horváth Róbert (*Sopron, 1823. április 17.–†Zalabér, 1829. január 18.)
Horváth János második neje halála ezután ismét kötött házasságot harmadjára: 1824. május 20.-án Bécsben elvette báró Switzen Teréz (*1806–†Sopron, 1825. április 13.) kisasszonyt. A harmadik nejétől egyetlen egy lány született, aki nem érte el a felnőttkort:
Horváth Terézia (*Sopron, 1825. április 5.)
A harmadik házastársának a halála után 1828. június 20.-án Zalabéren vette feleségül felsőeőri Márkus Teréziát, kisfaludi Kisfaludy Boldizsár özvegyét, akinek a szülei felsőeőri Márkus Ignác és rába-bogyoszlói Vajda Anna voltak. A negyedik házasságából két gyermekük született:
zalabéri Horváth János Nepomuk (*Zalabér, 1829. április 19.–†Kápolnás, 1905. november 1.), császári és királyi kamarás, titkos tanácsos, altábornagy, földbirtokos. Felesége báró Coletti Emanuela (*Leitersdorf, 1838. augusztus 1.–†Budapest, 1890. március 31.).
