Q: OOP - How to make a parent function perform some default functionality? In PHP, I have an abstract class (parent) which is extended by the child class. I want the child class to implement a function of parent. And when I call the implemented function of child, a default functionality of parent should be invoked automatically.
Is it possible?
For example, I want to create parent's log function every time a send function of child is invoked.
abstract class CommunicationService {
    // child classes must implement this
    abstract function send();
    abstract function receive();

    public function log($action) {
        echo 'Creating nice Log on = ' . $action;
    }
}

class ServiceA extends CommunicationService {
    public function send() {
        // Is it possible that the parent's logging functionality be invoked automatically by default?
        echo 'Send Message using Service A';
    }
    public function receive() {
        echo 'Receive Message using Service A';
    }
}

$serviceA = new ServiceA();
$serviceA->send(); // It should send message as well as create logs.
$serviceA->receive(); // It should just receive message and not log it.

Also, is it possible to perform some default action in parent and the rest of the functionality in child?
best regards.

A: Any class which extends the parent needs its functions to explicitly call the parent log() function like this:
public function send() {
    // Is it possible that the parent's logging functionality be invoked automatically by default?
    parent::log( 'some text' ); // Tell the parent to log
    echo 'Send Message using Service A';
}

A: I'm going to address the second part of your question: "Is it possible to perform some default action in parent and the rest of the functionality in child?"  The answer is yes, and one way of doing so is to use a "design pattern" known as the template method:

The template method pattern is a behavioral design pattern that defines the program skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses.

I've specifically done this with a ~60 line (not counting comments) PHP MVC micro-framework the source being here: https://github.com/dexygen/jackrabbitmvc/blob/master/barebones.lib.php
The template method is as follows:
static function sendResponse(IBareBonesController $controller) {
  $controller->setMto($controller->applyInputToModel());
  $controller->mto->applyModelToView();
}

The methods $controller->setMto and mto->applyModelToView get implemented elsewhere in the source code, but the child class has to implement $controller->applyInputToModel -- see the comments above the source.  Also see a write-up I did on the inspiration for the framework

A: Not sure this is exactly what you needed. But you might like to try using the chaining mechanism:-
abstract class CommunicationService {
// child classes must implement this
abstract function send();
abstract function receive();

public function log($action) {
    echo 'Creating nice Log on = ' . $action;
    return $this;
}

}
class ServiceA extends CommunicationService {
public function send() {
    // Is it possible that the parent's logging functionality be invoked automatically by default?
    echo 'Send Message using Service A';
}
public function receive() {
    echo 'Receive Message using Service A';
}

}
$serviceA = new ServiceA();
$serviceA->log('send')->send(); // It should send message as well as create logs.
$serviceA->receive(); // It should just receive message and not log it.

With rallying being a year round event drivers, cars and events shows experience the full range of weather conditions and have to continue to work no matter what the conditions are. Pop up gazebos are a great addition to any rally team. A pop up shelter allows you to work on your car behind closed doors between races, put your car on display and keep it sheltered and out of the conditions. Gazebos are becoming ever more popular amongst rally drivers and their teams for the reasons mentioned and as team branding. Poptents gazebos can be branded in any colours, with any logos text and images to make your rally team gazebo stand out and fit in with your rally team.
Since rallying is a year event with a long season, you face a full range of the weather- the good and the bad! For a gazebo to be suitable to withstand the pressure from the wind and rain it is important to opt for a heavy duty gazebo. These strong metal gazebos are made to be able to withstand the harsh weather whilst looking solid, after all a great rally team doesn't have a flimsy gazebo over their car that blows over in the wind. Poptents offer heavy duty, strong commercial pop up gazebos that are able to withstand and absorb the pressures from bad weather and the abuse that they can be subject to. Poptents are made from 2mm thick aluminium with 40mm square legs and 30x15mm roof bars, both of which are reinforced on the inside for added strength. There are also metal joints throughout the entire frame which adds considerable strength to the frame. The metal joints, much like suspension, absorb the lateral movement in the roof and keep the frame in a braced position. The 3m x 3m metal gazebo frame alone is 27kg and the 3m x 4.5m which allows you to fit a car under the gazebo is 34kg. This gives an indication as to the strength of the gazebo, which will easily take the weight of 2-3 men hanging from the frame!
All stock Poptents heavy duty gazebos come with sides included as standard. The sides are full walls and attach to the inside of the roof by a velcro strip and all join together by zip in the corners. This gives a secure, weatherproof join which keeps the weather out of the gazebo allowing you to work on your car in a dry environment.
The 3m x 4.5m heavy duty gazebo is the most popular choice amongst our clients as this allows for one car to fit entirely under the pop up tent, or two cars under it sideways. The plain colours of heavy duty gazebos are all in stock and will be with you within 2 working days from order.


Figure 1 shows a closeup photo of a PCB assembly, it seems as though solder has flowed "down the drain" and away from the solder joint where it's needed.
In fact it has, because the customer has inconveniently located a via right through the center of one of the two topside SMT pads for a surface mount component. When the assembled PCB is run through reflow, the molten solder drains away through the barrel of the via and out the other side of the PCB. There isn't enough solder remaining post-reflow to create an acceptable solder joint per IPC-A-610. The joint is "starved"; this is unacceptable. What to do?
Figure 1. Insufficient solder, i.e., "starved" solder joint on an SMD pad.
The via is there to stay, by virtue of the customer design. So, no matter how many times solder is added to the joint, every time the PCB is run through the reflow oven the solder is going to drain away because the PCB , including the via, is at reflow temperature.
Obviously, more than one run through the oven makes no sense. The only practical solution is to manually add solder to the individual solder joint, post-reflow, without running the entire PCB through another thermal cycle. It's a touchup procedure that's required to create a robust SMT solder joint that meets acceptability criteria. This is a manual PCB assembly soldering process that should be performed by a skilled hand-soldering or rework operator. Solder is added only to the joint, via cored wire solder or solid wire with flux, in order to build up the volume of solder at the solder joint to provide strength, connectivity, and an acceptable meniscus per IPC standards, covering the via drain-hole. The solder won't flow through the via because only the surface joint area is heated.
Figure 2. The solution: Add solder to the joint manually via a touchup procedure.
It may seem tedious, but a skilled operator can touch up the joint in a few seconds, and if there is only one instance per assembly it won't appreciably cause production delays.


Pharmaceutical malpractice (or pharmaceutical negligence) lawsuits are one of the fastest growing types of personal injury lawsuits that there is.
Pharmaceutical malpractice is very common and the foundation for these lawsuits is prescription medication. The pharmaceutical malpractice lawsuits are filed based on: drug recalls; product failure; long-term side effects of prescription drugs; improperly prescribed medication and improperly filled prescriptions.

Bpr/Tbl, Feb 10 : Continuing to express strong opposition towards the passing of Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016, people from different parts of Bishnupur district and Thoubal district carried out different kinds of protests today.
Nambol Sabal Leikai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup and Civil Society of Culture Kangleipak organised a sit in protest at Nambol Sabal Leikai community hall where in several people of the area turned up to condemn the Bill.
The locals along with the members of the organisations took out a protest rally from the locality till Maibam Lokpa Ching and shouted slogans and held up pla cards denouncing CAB, BJP, RSS and called to save the indigenous people of the State and the North East States.
Meanwhile, in Bishnupur Keithel, different students organisations namely AMSU, DESAM, SUK, KSA, AIMS, MSF and women vendors blocked the Tiddim road (NH 150).
The students organisations along with the women vendors staged a sit-in on the road and burned tyres as well.
During the agitation, all business establishments were shut and many came out in the streets to take part in the protest.
MSF Bishnupur branch general secretary Konsam Akash warned that the people of Manipur are set to launch the ultimate stir if the Bill is not withdrawn adding that the Bill cannot be implemented in the State.
The protesters also held up banners which reads, "Down Down BJP Govt", "We oppose CAB", "Long Live Manipur" etc.
In Thoubal district, Sanamahi followers of Wangjing Apunba staged a sit-in protest in front of BJP Wangjing-Tentha Mandal today.
Speaking to media persons, Manipur Democratic Front secretary general Th Rojel asserted that the CSOs, Meira Paibis and public will not back down from fighting the CAB 2016 adding that the people want the Bill to be withdrawn immediately.
Whether a clause is inserted or not is of no concern to the people, he added.
He warned the State Government to consider the consequences which can turn grim when the irate people of Manipur takes up more stringent agitations.
On the other hand, extending solidarity to Manipur people Against CAB (MANPAC), Meira Paibis of Wabagai, Hiyanglam, Keirak Lamjao, Tezpur and local people organised a torch rally from Wabagai Lamkhai Keithel till Keirak yesterday.

The Science of a Billboard Hit Song
November 8, 2019Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences
Scientists around Vincent Cheung want to understand the process behind how expectancy in music elicits pleasure. MPI CBS
Why is it that people find songs such as James Taylor's "Country Roads," UB40's "Red, Red Wine," or The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" so irresistibly enjoyable? In a study reported in the journal Current Biology on November 7, researchers analyze 80,000 chords in 745 classic U.S. Billboard pop songs—including those three—and find that musical pleasure comes from the right combination of uncertainty and surprise.
When we hear a song for the first time, our brain automatically makes predictions about what sound will come next based on music we've heard in the past. We experience pleasure when our expectations are sometimes met, but not all the time. Composers and songwriters seem to have known this for centuries. So at what point is music pleasurable? And what is the brain mechanism behind it?
To answer these questions, the researchers turned to machine learning. A statistical-learning model was trained to quantify the expectancy of 80 000 chords from famous American billboard hits. This allowed the team to determine whether pleasantness could be predicted by the uncertainty concerning the upcoming chord, or the surprise experienced upon hearing it. To rule out factors like memories associated with particular songs, the chords were stripped of other aspects of the original material, such as the lyrics and melody. The chord progressions remained the same but they were no longer recognisable as famous songs; ABBA's 'Knowing Me Knowing You' for example.
The team found two distinct patterns associated with chord pleasantness: those with low uncertainty and high surprise, or the opposite, highly uncertain but not surprising. Let's unpack that. The uncertainty of an upcoming chord was assumed to be predictable from the music structure and distinct from the actual reaction to the chord. If the participant was sure what was coming next (low uncertainty) but the song unexpectedly deviated and surprised them, they found that pleasant. However, if the chord progression was harder to predict (high uncertainty) but the actual chord which arrived did not surprise them, they also found the stimuli pleasant, possibly suggesting they had guessed correctly.
"In other words, what is crucial is the dynamic interplay between two temporally dissociable aspects of expectations: the anticipation beforehand, and the surprise afterwards", says Vincent Cheung, the lead scientist of the study.
To find out the underlying neural mechanism, the team examined participants' brain activity using functional MRI. They found that the interactive effect between the uncertainty of the upcoming chord and its level of surprise was associated with brain activity changes in emotion- and auditory-related areas. Importantly, activity of the nucleus accumbens was associated only with the level of uncertainty. This reward-related brain region is thought to play a central role in musical pleasure. Senior author Stefan Koelsch explains, "What this suggests is that the nucleus accumbens might not be driving the experience of pleasure per se, and its role in music-evoked emotions may be more nuanced than previously thought."
Researchers suggest that the findings could have a direct relevance to the music industry. "On one hand, our results could be applied to assist composers or even computers in writing music. On the other, algorithms could be developed to predict musical trends and how well a song would do based on its structure. The possibilities are endless," says Cheung.

From our point of view, periarteritis nodosa is a pathocomplex-induced disease. In this case, the pathocomplexes attack vessels of various organs, including the heart, brain and muscles, triggering their infractions of various severities. As they circulate in the bloodstream and attract blood cells and particularly B-lymphocytes, plasmocytes, thrombocytes, erythrocytes and protein components, the pathocomplexes form gigantic aggregates that subsequently occlude various blood vessels, and especially capillaries of organs, resulting in thrombotic strokes. That means that the blood flow of the surrounding tissues supplied by the affected blood vessels is damaged. As a result, the organ tissues of this region die out and subsequently, become replaced by connective tissue (focus of sclerosis). This is exactly what is ultimately revealed by magnetic resonance imaging. A symptom complex characteristic for the given functional area develops depending on which organ has the lesion focus.
Treatment of periarteritis nodosa on the basis of pathocomplex process completely eliminates the source of this disease in the blood. This means that the progress of this disease becomes suspended and the recently developed thromboses resolve. However, recovering pockets of multiple sclerosis (connective tissue) and the proceeding functional disorders is difficult.

In Support of Michael Schill, Candidate for Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
I am not a nervous person, but I was sweating a bit as I waited more than an hour in line today to meet Michael Schill, candidate for chancellor of UW-Madison. Next year will be my 10th at this university, and I have come to love it deeply, and feel strongly about the important role the chancellor plays in the direction it takes. And thus, it was with some trepidation that I shook hands with Michael, because my instinct is that he's an excellent pick for Chancellor, and thus an important person in our future.
As readers know, I profiled two other chancellor candidates shortly after they were announced and declined to endorse them. It didn't take long to figure out they weren't a match. I haven't yet weighed in on Rebecca Blank, and feel I can't do so until I meet her next week-- she made several comments during her last visit that make me hesitate, and I want to see what she thinks after her Washington experiences.
But reading Schill's work and talking with colleagues about him convinced me that he was very promising, and having now met and chatted with him, that sense is much stronger. Here are the main reasons why:
1. Schill understands UW-Madison's greatest assets and biggest weaknesses. As his very well-written personal statement demonstrates, we stand out for our commitment to service and social justice, and the way we make our decisions--thoughtfully, through shared governance proceses. At the same time, we are substantially hindered by insufficient diversity, declining accessibility, and frequent misuse and misunderstandings around transparency and accountability. To excel at the things we want to do, including conducting pathbreaking research and improving our teaching, we must address those problems. As they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step, and Schill can take us down that road.
2. Schill genuinely likes to talk, and seems to really enjoy listening too. Body language conveys a lot, and Schill's speaks of openness, assertiveness and sincerity. After more than hour of close observation from only a dozen feet away, I can assess this quite well. His reception line went very slowly because he refused to brush anyone off or move them along, despite the efforts of his hosts. He made excellent eye contact, leaned forward when speaking, was evidently comfortable with physical contact (I witnessed several hugs, real handshakes, and he even challenged me to a race), doesn't wear his ego on his sleeve, and displayed a range of emotions. Let's just say, I've seen chancellors smile before but their eyes usually wandered over my shoulder. Schill has a background in activism, and this talent displays it. Of course, I suspect he is shrewd as well-- he knows that people like to be listened to, and he does so to maximum advantage.
3. Voicing strong concern for affordability, Schill told me that we must "keep tuition low, and aid high," restraining ourselves to increases solely to keep up with inflation. He did not speak of competitive pricing, and or peer comparisons. Now, perhaps this is just because he's speaking to me, and he's read the blog. But I checked on this, and what colleagues of his told me is that "He's too smart to think pricing high is smart, and far too smart to believe in 'disruptive' innovation." I asked him for his thoughts on test-optional admissions and he was able to discuss that literature with me, bringing up his teaching on higher education at UCLA in a manner that was quite impressive. In his view, the Supreme Court will rule against Texas in a narrowly tailored decision.
4. Schill is a candidate for chancellor with a very serious and impressive set of publications and books that merit tenure (so is Blank, by the way). He's written on low-income housing, immigration and race, and co-authored with smart people I like and trust, such as Amy Ellen Schwartz of NYU and Colin Chellman of CUNY. I especially liked what I read in Housing and Community Development in New York City: Facing the Future regarding the reasons why efforts to improve low-income housing have failed; he attends to politics and structure in insightful ways.
Of course, no one's perfect and I do have a few qualms about Schill's background. For example, he's had a lot of funding from big banks, such as JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup. He's spent most of his time as an adult in very elite settings-- UCLA may be public but it's no exception. And while he's a first generation student, as we saw with Biddy Martin, being one doesn't mean you fully understand what's required to serve them.
But overall, I am supportive of Michael Schill's candidacy for chancellor. He's bright, calm, thoughtful, and exceedingly well-liked by those who work with him. I'd enjoy getting to know him better.
ps. A final note, for the students-- a bit of street cred-- Michael's done the Daily Show!

Q: How do I generate appropriate group-level coefficients and standard errors for my regression? I ran a mixed logistic model testing the influence of group (two-level) on a binary outcome, and I want to report the group estimates and their SEs in graph. However, I can think of two ways of doing this that yield different estimates. If just compute estimates and SEs for each group separately I get different estimates and SEs than I would if I run models on the full data set and alternate which group I code as the baseline group (e.g., "0") and obtain the intercepts and SEs (i.e.,baseline group's estimate/SE).
So, to be clear, in the first approach I would do this like so in R (note this is just for illustration; my question is more conceptual rather than an R-programming question):
tilDF2<-subset(tilDF, Condition == "0")
modela<-glmer(Acc ~ 1 + (1|ID), data= tilDF2, family = binomial(logit))
summary(modela)

tilDF2<-subset(tilDF, Condition == "1")
modela<-glmer(Acc ~ 1 + (1|ID), data= tilDF2, family = binomial(logit))
summary(modela)

And in the second approach I would do this:
tilDF2<- 0*(tilDF$Acc==-0.5) + 1*(tilDF$Acc==0.5)

where I am contrast coding the conditions so that one condition is baseline
modela<-glmer(Acc ~ Condition + (1|ID), data= tilDF2, family = binomial(logit))
summary(modela)

And then doing the same for the other condition:
tilDF2<- 1*(tilDF$Acc==-0.5) + 0*(tilDF$Acc==0.5)
modela<-glmer(Acc ~ Condition + (1|ID), data= tilDF2, family = binomial(logit))
summary(modela)

I think the latter approach is more precise/accurate because it uses all the data and provides the baseline condition's predicted mean, controlling for the effect of condition. But the former approach seems to be more typical when graphing means. Any suggestion about whether one of these is more correct than the other?


Putting things together can sometimes make you feel accomplished but there are a lot more times where it gets real tedious, real fast. That's why I enjoy these magic self-assembling videos. Frank Howarth shows an entire table saw assembling itself in this stop-motion video and it makes me wish this could happen in real life.


They have one lens in each eye. They see colors and they see in the UV spectrum. They have excellent eyesight, both near and far away.
I am not sure what kind of vision african greys have but I know my timneh hates anything red. He will not eat or play with anything that is red so I am sure he can see colors.
Birds have the best vision of any animal, including humans, on the planet. They can see clearly at least 200 feet away from them and maybe farther. They see a full spectrum of colors same as we do.
Birds should never be put close to a TV or computer screen as all they see are pixels and flash which can cause seizure activity if it happens too often. Keep birds across a large room from a TV and even then don't let them watch it much because the flash causes erratic brain activity. We humans may not notice this flash, and it is causing similar problem with our brains if we spend hours in front of a TV. Computer screen is not so bad if filtering screen is used. For the bird, even the screen is not enough protection, so keep them away from computers and lots of TV.
Hope this answers your question, and another little thing. Birds see FLAT until they turn their heads because of eye placement. They think pictures are real, so never have pictures of predatory animals near them, or any animals or birds for that matter. Decorate their areas with flowers, butterflies (small ones) and trees and such.They have no depth perception unless they turn their head from one side to the other, so we are also seen as flat until they do that.

Jim Nabors dead at 87
Nov 30, 2017 at 11:53 AM Nov 30, 2017 at 12:56 PM
Several media sources reported Thursday that TV legend Jim Nabors has died.
The Sylacauga native and University of Alabama graduate was most famous for his role as Gomer Pyle in "The Andy Griffith Show."
Hawaii News Now reported that Nabors died around 3 a.m. Thursday, citing producer Phil Arnone.
He was 87 years old.
Nabors graduated from UA in 1952. He spoke with The Tuscaloosa News in 2006 when he returned to appear in Mayberry's Variety Show and to be inducted into the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame. He returned the following September to sing the National Anthem before a UA football game.
A member off Delta Tau Delta fraternity, Nabors said his first acting performance was at the Jason's Jamboree, a Greek skit show. He left Tuscaloosa after graduation, after being told his asthma might clear up if he left Alabama.


The City of North Charleston is on the hunt for their next Artist-In-Residence for the 2018-19 fiscal year. The City's Artist-In-Residence (AIR) will share his or her unique talents, skills, and experiences by providing free visual art residencies, workshops, and demonstrations to public schools, recreation facilities, and community groups.
The AIR will serve as a key resource for the department's outreach programs. The artist will also have the opportunity to display their work at the North Charleston City Gallery from December 2018 through January 2019 and during the North Charleston Art Fest in May 2019.
Last year's AIR was Camela Guevara, a local textile artist, painter, and seamstress. On her Instagram, Guevara has posted shots of students learning embroidery during her residency.
This contracted position is part-time and will pay $25 an hour for up to 300 hours from August 2018 through June 2019. Program supplies are provided.
If interested, submit quality photographs or digital images of your work along with a current resume or CV by Fri. June 29 to kyeadon@northcharleston.org or mailed to the attention of Krystal Yeadon at City of North Charleston Cultural Arts Department, PO Box 190016, North Charleston, SC, 29419-9016.
Camela Guevara had some family in town recently. All she could think to do to keep them entertained was to go shopping and take them to restaurants. Pretty mundane stuff. And that very element — the tedious nature of day-to-day events — comes to the forefront of Guevara's art. Her work lives to shift the narrative of the mundane.
The City of North Charleston Cultural Arts Department has named local textile artist and painter Camela Guevara as the 2017-'18 artist-in-residence (AIR). Congrats, Camela.

Q: Scripts not getting loaded before event is fired in lightning I want to load my static resources before my event is fired. My scripts are not getting loaded and my jquery builder gives function not defined. My event is application event. So my query builder gives $j(...).queryBuilder is not a function error
My code is:

          <c:BRCreateQueryBuilder wrapperBlock="{!wblock}" index="{!indexBlock}"
             columnDetailsresponse="{!v.columnDetailsresponse}"/>
<aura:registerEvent name="createBlock" type="c:BRCreateBlock"/>
</aura:component >

CategoryBuilder.js
generateEvent:function(component, event, helper){
var genrateEvent = $A.get("e.c:BRCreateBlock");
genrateEvent.setParams({"dataindex" : '1'});
genrateEvent.fire();
}

A: I don't know why you are not using afterScriptsLoaded() method. Also, this is assuming that generateEvent() is getting called so quickly that scripts are not yet loaded.
You can add a flag after which your app event will fire and this flag will become true when afterScriptsLoaded() executes, i.e when all scripts are loaded. This attribute has a change event written on it and its onchange action will call generateEvent().
Alternatively, you can send event from child to parent to notify loading of scripts.
You can do something like:

CategoryBuilder.Cmp

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,force:hasRecordId" access="global" controller="BRCategoryCtrl" >
    <!--Add a attribute that is passed to child component. Change in this attribute in child will reflect in parent component as well, triggering the on change event-->
    <aura:attribute name="isScriptsLoaded" type="Boolean" default="false" />

    <c:BRCreateQueryBuilder wrapperBlock="{!wblock}" index="{!indexBlock}"
    columnDetailsresponse="{!v.columnDetailsresponse}" isScriptsLoaded="
    {!v.isScriptsLoaded}"/>

    <aura:registerEvent name="createBlock" type="c:BRCreateBlock"/>
    <aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.isScriptsLoaded}" action="{!c.generateEvent}" />
</aura:component >

Code for c:BRCreateQueryBuilder:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickActionWithoutHeader,force:hasRecordId" access="global" controller="BRCategoryCtrl">
  <ltng:require scripts="{!join(',',$Resource.JQuery244 + '/jquery-2.2.4.min.js',$Resource.QueryBuilderStandaloneMin + '/query-builder.standalone.min.js',$Resource.CPGCommonScript,$Resource.Select2 + '/select2-4.0.3/dist/js/select2.js')}" styles="{!join(',',$Resource.QueryBuildCSS + '/query-builder.default.min.css',$Resource.BootCSS + '/bootstrap.min.css', $Resource.Select2 + '/select2-4.0.3/dist/css/select2.min.css')}"  afterScriptsLoaded="{!c.afterloadscript}" />

<aura:attribute name="isScriptsLoaded" type="Boolean" default="false" />

  <aura:handler event="c:BRCreateBlock" action="{!c.handleAddGroup}" />

Controller

   afterloadscript : function(component, event, helper){
          //This will set isScriptsLoaded true in parent as well.
          component.set('v.isScriptsLoaded', true);

          /*Alternatively you can also send component event from here to parent.*/
   }

How to Save $1,000 on Your Tanning Clinic in Lubbock, Texas
Oct 21, 2021 european tanning salon, hot spot tanning salon, seattle tanning salon, tanning salons lubbock by	admin
When you visit your local tanning saloon, you're bound to get some questions about how to save money when it comes to your skin care.
"Do you need a $1.99 shampoo and conditioner?" the woman behind the counter might ask.
"I'm a little scared," you might reply.
But you're not alone.
As the industry grows, there's a lot of confusion about the best way to shop for products and services and where to go next.
In this article, we'll cover the most common questions you'll run into, and give you the answers you need to make the most of your money.
Can I save more by getting a cheaper tanning spot?
The answer to this question depends on where you live and what services you're seeking.
While most salons charge more per-hour than most private practices, you can always save money by choosing the best rates and services, according to dermatologist and skin care expert Julie Zayat.
In addition to offering a cheaper rate, she says, salons tend to offer more products and offer more services, which may help you save money.
In some areas, such as the Midwestern states of Iowa and Kansas, salon prices are more expensive than private practice prices.
Zay at Lubbocks Tanning Salon, 821 West Sixth Street, Lubbels, Texas 76079.
What if I have an existing tanning session and want to switch to a new one?
Some salons don't offer a new session but instead offer a "fresh start" option.
This is a free-of-charge session that lasts a few hours, and can be used to make up to two sessions in a month.
If you're thinking about changing your skin regimen, ask your dermatologist what the best options are.
Some salon options include the following: Bodyworks is a private company that offers salon-style treatments for $199 per month for up to 12 hours, or $349 for 12 hours and $599 for 12 and 24 hours.
They also offer free facial masks, hair-care products, face-care and massage services.
You can also use Bodyworks products in a private salon.
It also offers spa treatments.
Lubbills Bodyworks, 871 E. Broadway St., Lubbies, TX 76099.
I just went to a private clinic and wanted to see how much they charge for my skin care products.
Will I be able to save by getting free treatments?
Yes, but not everyone has access to private practices.
While some private clinics offer treatment for free, you may have to pay for a dermatologist consultation and/or prescription.
Some private clinics charge more than others for the same treatment, according the American Academy of Dermatology.
You'll want to check the price and the price per treatment, Zay says.
She suggests choosing a clinic that offers a private session and that offers your preferred treatment, such a facial mask or facial scrub.
In general, you'll save money if you get a free treatment.
The dermatologist will recommend the right product and you'll be treated by a trained dermatologist who will guide you through your treatment, which is typically about five to seven minutes.
I've already booked a private appointment and my doctor is not willing to accept a cheaper fee.
Will they charge more?
Lipsmith Skin Care in Lacey, Texas charges $9.99 per hour for two sessions with a dermatologists appointment.
They offer treatments at $49.95 per hour.
You may have the option of booking a private consultation and paying less for your treatment.
Lizzie Kann, Lizzies Skin Care, 1312 South Congress, Littlesville, TX 75403.
Do you have to be an Lubbokos employee to get free treatments and services?
If you work at Lizzys Skin Care and are over 18 years old, you are eligible for a free dermatologist appointment.
Linnell Skin Care also offers a free consultation with a private dermatologist.
They will give you a treatment at no cost, according their website.
You don't have to register for the clinic, and they do not require a license or insurance to work.
Littlicas Skin Care Clinic, 1400 West Broadway, Linnells, TX 77561.
Will Lizzy Kann charge me more for my treatment than my dermatologist?
Yes and no.
The Littlys Skin care Clinic offers a $199 appointment, but they do require a prescription, according Zay.

'Tanning salon in seattle is owned by the family of the former US president': The latest on the death of the son of the late US president
Sep 17, 2021 closest tanning salon, oasis tanning salon, seattle tanning salon, tanning salon hoover al, tanning salons st louis by	admin
On Thursday, authorities said a Florida man had died from a heart attack after eating at a seattle-area tanning parlor.
A coroner's report released Thursday said John Thomas Fink died of a heart condition.
The Florida man, who is identified by authorities only as James Fink, was eating at the tanning studio in a seahorse-colored building on Friday morning when he ate something in his hand, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.
Fink had no known medical conditions, the newspaper reported.
According to the Tallapas Democrat, Fink is the son and heir to the Fink tanning empire.
He was the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter.
Finkle's family has said he suffered from an illness that could have been triggered by eating a food that contained a pesticide known as methyl bromide.
The Tallahasssee Democrat noted Fink's grandfather worked at the salon, which was owned by his family.
Finks uncle, John Fink Sr., was arrested on a felony charge of manslaughter and faces a potential prison term of 10 to 20 years in prison.
His uncle also faces felony charges for allegedly threatening to burn down the business, the paper reported.
In December, Finks son, John Thomas, died after eating lunch at the same tanning facility.
The Washington Post reported that Fink has said the incident at the Florida salon was an accident.
How to apply spray tanning with a brush
Sep 1, 2021 malibu tanning salon, seattle tanning salon, spray tanning salons, tanning salon chicago, tanning salon jobs by	admin
Tanning salon employees are used to applying their spray tan to the skin of the hands, but now they can do it to their body too.
The spray tan is an ultra-durable and effective way to protect against sunburns and wrinkles, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
The most popular products include products from brands like OPI, Nail Art, and Glamour.
The key to applying a spray tan effectively is to get the sunburn to the back of your skin.
The key to avoiding a flare-up is to apply the product as soon as possible after the sun sets.
"If you want to stay hydrated and stay healthy, don't apply your product as it's going to burn," says Heather Breslau, a tanning dermatologist and co-owner of The Breslow Skin Clinic in Malibu, California.
"So you don't want to be drying yourself out.
If you're using a product that has a high level of SPF and doesn't burn, like a lot of spray tan products, that can help a lot with the drying out of the skin."
The process of applying a sprayskin is actually pretty simple, according, because it's all about taking care of your face.
The sunburn you get on your backside is more likely to happen in areas that have a lot more water, and a spray or two will dry the skin out and make it more flexible, according the American Dermatological Association.
What to do: If you get sunburned on your hands, use a hand towel to wipe them off with.
Avoid putting your hands in the shower, because water can cause sunburn.
You can use a shower cap to keep your hands dry.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
If your hands get really, really dry, use sunscreen.
Apply the sunscreen on your skin, then use your hands to scrub the sunscreen off with a towel or a brush.
You might also use a cleanser like the Clarisonic Advanced Clean Serum to scrub away the sunscreen.
How to remove: It's best to get a facial scrub to remove any sunscreen you use, and if you want, you can apply a face mask to help protect your face from the sun.
Do your best to avoid sunburn by applying a lotion, moisturizer, or cream with a SPF of 15 or higher.

Behind the Music: Interview with Bryony Williams
"I'm so grateful for every interaction and act of support. It's super heart-warming."
Describe your music style in no more than 5 words: Fun. Ethereal. Harmonies. Clever. Spunky.
Where is your go-to place for writing new tracks? Simply at home – there I have access to all I need; a pen, some paper and a guitar. Though when it comes to songwriting, that can be done anywhere really. I often like to go out on my own into the city, settle down in a corner of a bar somewhere and let my writing do the talking.
Who else is involved in the creation of your music and what do they bring to the sound? The only other person involved is my producer, Matthew Pinfield. When it comes to the recording process, I will play my existing demo's and we will then start the songwriting stage. This involves deciding which ones make the cut for the record *gulp!* and possibly improving upon the lyrics (rarely) or the structure of the song itself. For example, changing a verse into the chorus vice versa. For all my songs (minus the Wanderlust EP), Matt has played drums and bass, and we collaborate together when it comes to harmonic ideas and additional guitar parts. It's all a lot of fun. We work very well together and have a lot of fun experimenting with sounds and messing around with guitar pedals.
How has creating tracks in lockdown differed from your normal process? Honestly, not that much as all the songwriting is pretty autonomous. Though in regards to recording, we did try remote recording during lockdown. But within the same time, restrictions began to ease so we were able to record in-person like normal. However, Matt did create a makeshift vocal booth in a separate room to normal because we thought singing would project more air particles and thus, more potential corona. I nicknamed it 'The Chokey' as a Matilda reference. Though I'm pretty sure that singing theory has been dismissed and that Matt isn't Mrs.Trunchbull!
"I think it's integral to showcase yourself in a range of talents that reflects who you are."
Who/what are your biggest influences? People watching is definitely my thing. Sometimes I can song write in a public environment and I guess project a combination of my own thoughts and feelings into the mix of strangers interactions. It's definitely about life experiences and being stimulated by visuals. Though musically my influences range from Anastacia to Courtney Barnett, Girls Aloud to Wolf Alice and everything in between.
What does a Bryony Williams recording session look like? A typical session consists of 5 cups of coffee, maybe a handful of peanuts if I'm lucky, and 10 hours in the studio recording. In order, we first track the guide guitar and vocals, then the percussion, bass, rhythm guitar, vocals, lead guitar, and any twinkly/experimental bits to finish off.
With two incredibly polished EP's already released, what can people expect from your forthcoming one, 'State I'm In'? They can expect versatility, an anger, a hunger and attitude. I'm out to prove myself with this record, with each song adding something new. I think people will be very surprised, and hopefully shed a tear at one particular track.
As a new artist, what has it been like to have gained so much support and see your fan base/listeners increase? Overall, it's a slow and painful journey, especially as an independent artist. However, since being signed to Beth Shalom Records, there seems to be a constant buzz around my music and I'm so grateful for every interaction and act of support. It goes a long way and is super heart-warming.
What are the three albums/tracks that you never get tired of listening to? Grimes – Oblivion, Flight Facilities – Clair de Lune, The Chemical Brothers – Hannas Theme (vocal version)
"A recording session typically consists of 5 cups of coffee, maybe a handful of peanuts if I'm lucky, and 10 hours in the studio."
What is the most vivid music memory that you have? Hmmm, well ask anyone, I have the worst memory going! I can't even remember what I've done yesterday. BUT music wise… I've got to say playing the Freshly Squeezed stage at Camper Calling festival in 2019 with my band mates (CJ from All South, Billy from The Calamity, and Tasha from Jump the Shark). We made a weekend of it! I drove us all down to Warwick, we did our first band practice the night before, crashed at Tasha's house – where we ate and drank rum into the night (but not too late, we are possibly a little sensible) – then hit the big stage with them! Ah! It was just such a feeling of unity, accomplishment and excitement. And we… rocked… it!
The music video for 'Knockin' looks like it was amazing fun to create. Are there any plans for your family to appear in more? Ha! We're currently negotiating contracts as we speak.
What's more important to you: having an opportunity to express a feeling through a song or making a hit track? For me, songwriting is about pure expression and interpretation. If I make a hit track along the way then so be it.
It sounds like there are some really telling lyrics within your forthcoming release 'Knockin'. Do your personal experiences generally lead the lyrics of a track? Yes, 100% whether that's literal or subconsciously. There's a track on the new record called Cherry Red that is all about a date I went on to… Cherry Reds. Shock! Whereas 'I Can Be' and 'Knockin' are great examples of other times where I generate lyrics fuelled by my emotional subconscious. These are usually empowering and brutally honest for myself and others.
Listening through your releases to date, there are some real contrasts in sound. How important do you think it is for new artists to demonstrate the different sides to their music? Though I have never consciously said to myself to push the boundaries or produce something different the next time round, my music simply develops with me as a person. I think that comes with some risk-taking, experience, and a good ear that is constantly on the mend. It shows versatility, which is not always valued in the music world when listeners just want a quick fix. But for an artist like myself, I think it's integral to showcase yourself in a range of talents that reflects who you are.
And finally… what has been the biggest learning curve in your career to date? Know. Your. Worth.

June 05, 2020 Categories: Families / News / Positive Community
George Floyd's death — the public and merciless way he died and the historical and contemporary context that led to his murder — has dealt a blow to the Black community and its children. These same children will return to school this fall traumatized not only by the effects of COVID-19, but by living in a socio-cultural context that, until this moment, has reinforced the false narrative that their lives do not matter.
Their lives do matter! Their lives matter to their parents, families, and friends. Their lives, their education, and the contributions they will and can make to our democratic society matter. Black lives matter to Center for Responsive Schools.
In 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a Resolution on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity to solidify its commitment to doing work that is relevant to, respects, and reflects the diversity of the children in schools everywhere.
If every child in every school is to feel safe, respected, and significant and that they belong, in school and if every child is to experience dignity, hope, autonomy, and competence in school, then Black children must return to schools in which they can feel this way as well. We know that almost all educators want to create conditions for Black children to thrive and to provide a joyful and hope-filled schooling experience for them. Many of these educators rely on us to provide them with the support and resources to do just that.
As we enter our 40th year of delivering Responsive Classroom, an SEL approach to teaching and discipline that has influenced and changed teachers' ability to create safe, joyful, and engaging classrooms across the United States and the world, we know that we cannot rest on our laurels. We know we must support educators so that the power of this watershed moment, which is ushering in a new awareness and will to recognize and stop the effects of racism on the learning and schooling experience of Black children, is not lost. We know that we must continue to undertake development and publication activities that form a tighter alignment to our Resolution on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity. Our first new step in that direction is Fly Five, The Social and Emotional Learning Curriculum, which is designed to represent the beautiful diversity of children in schools everywhere because we know representation matters.
We have heard those of you who are asking us now, "Can we count on you in this time to support us?" Our answer is yes. We honor both our responsibility and educators' expectation for us to support them as they do the hard work of ensuring that every iota of racism is stripped from their schools and classrooms and to support them as they grow in creating schools and classrooms that are anti-racist, because these are the places where learning is truly joyful. We recognize the hard work that this will take and we are rolling up our sleeves and stand ready to support and work with you.
We believe teaching is the most important work in the world. We believe in teachers. Today, we see and hear your desire to know that we will be a reliable support for you as you take a stand to change the narrative. Lasting change cannot happen without you and we are here for you.

Center for Responsive Schools' Board of Directors and Staff

The use of homeopathy is on the rise. Homeopathic medicine uses very small amounts of natural substances, which in higher amounts might cause a disease. The theory behind homeopathic medicine is that "like cures like," and that a substance that causes an illness in a healthy person might cure those symptoms in someone who is ill. We have a large selection of homeopathic products to help in the treatment of acute and chronic conditions. Homeopathy is generally safe for children, appealing to parents who wish to address common ailments that children experience, such as ear infections.
