If you're thinking about filing for bankruptcy but don't know if it is the right step for you, ask yourself these questions:
Do creditors constantly harass you about paying your debts?
Is your business failing due to a loss in profit?
Are IRS tax collectors always calling you?
Are you facing foreclosure on your house or office building?
Filing for bankruptcy immediately ends the harassment and stress caused by accumulating debts. Pursuant to the automatic stay, creditors and tax collectors must stop calling you. In addition, filing for bankruptcy stops foreclosure on your house and business.
What Type of Bankruptcy Should I File?
Attorney Redfield offers bankruptcy assistance to both individuals and businesses. His services include corporate dissolutions and assignments for the benefit of creditors and all chapters of bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: This form of bankruptcy is for individuals or corporations in need of serious debt relief. You can get a fresh start without the sale of assets.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Often called a regular income plan, a Chapter 13 case establishes a repayment plan to prevent the loss of your house and property. It also can be used to repay tax debt.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: A Chapter 11 case is filed by corporations or individuals that typically have too much accumulated debt. It requires a disclosure statement and a plan of reorganization and results in the restructuring of your business and debt. It may also be used by individuals who have exceeded the debt limits for a chapter 13 case.

Hoffman Estates Tidbits
Economic development was being driven by the requirements of the small community known as Hoffman Estates during the 1970's, as large developable acreage in the community became available from vacant or reasonably priced farms. Around this time, it was determined that rather than simply having a savings and loan, a real bank was needed. The First National Bank of Hoffman Estates was established in 1979.
These days, that bank is known as the Charter National Bank and Trust. Although, the area wasn't being developed, land was available. A group of involved business owners established the HEBA (Hoffman Estates Business Association), which started the first efforts by the community at retaining business and developing the local economy.
During the 1980's, new interest was brought to central Hoffman Estates by the interchange at Barrington Road. The first office park, known as Governor's Square, and the Tollway Center was established in the first industrial section of Hoffman Estates, again as the result of the needs of the community. At the corner of Higgins and Barrington Roads, some 35 acres became the Northwest Corporate Center, which as the result of the Stonegate Development Corporation, attracted a gas station, the first motel in the community, known as the Budgetel. There was an explosive period of growth going on in the area, and especially in Hoffman Estates. About this time, the Chamber of Commerce, NSACI (Northwest Suburban Association of Commerce and Industry) joined forces with the regional Chamber of Commerce.
Hoffman Estates stepped into national prominence when Sears Roebuck and Company announced that they were relocating to a new corporate headquarters in Hoffman Estates from their downtown tower. A community lawyer, banker, business owner, and community official negotiated the deal. The decision makers were taken on an aerial tour by helicopter to the Sears building that housed their new headquarters for merchandising on the west side of the community from the Sears Roebuck Tower This created the Prairie Stone Business Park. Since this park was known to be rich in developable property, Hoffman Estates continued to attract corporate giants such as Siemens and AT&T. Travelers aren't far behind whenever Fortune 500 companies build their corporate headquarters in the area, so the community welcomed another lodging facility, known as the LaQuinta Inn and Suites.
Recently, the Hoffman Estates Chamber of Commerce enacted a comprehensive strategic plan intended to ensure the retention and vitality of every business in the membership.
On September 19, 2009, Hoffman Estates celebrated its 50th birthday, while its Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 19th anniversary. Although on this date in 1959, the community was originally incorporated, 1954 was the year that actually brought the birth of the Hoffman Estates as it is known today. The property was located at the corner of Golf and Higgins Roads and was comprised of half acre lots.
In 1954, two of the owners of the Father and Son Construction Company bought a 160 acre farm for use as the land for a subdivision. The property was located at the corner of Golf and Higgins Roads and was comprised of half acre lots. In late 1955, the first homeowners arrived. In 1955, about 8,000 residents voted to incorporate and soon thereafter a charter was issued as an ever increasing number of people decided to make this community their home.
Between the 1960's and the 1970's, Hoffman Estates expanded considerably. This resulted in increased growth in public facilities, such as community departments, library branches, and schools as well as residential developments. By 1970 the population was 22,000 people, by 1980, the population was 27,000 people, and by 1990, the population was 46,363 people. Between the late 1980's and the early 1990's, the community experienced a transformation to a community that attracted businesses of all types from a residential community. Modern business parks, major business headquarters, new retail complexes, and a new hospital arrived in Hoffman Estates.
Over time, several of the major roadways in the community have evolved and been developed. As a mean to travel around, from, and to Chicago, in the late 1950's, the Tollway system was built. The region was opened up greatly in order to access the burgeoning community of Hoffman Estates with the completion of Interstate 90.
The Red Roof Inn, LaQuinta Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn and Suites, Hyatt Place, Comfort Inn, and Candlewood Suites are all available in Hoffman Estates. These hotels are centrally located in the community and only minutes away from the major attraction in the region, including shopping and entertainment districts, major business centers, and restaurants. There are more than 1,200 guestrooms available within the community of Hoffman Estates. The majority of these hotels also provide shuttle service within a five mile radius to various locations.
The close proximity to the vibrant Chicago area, O'Hare International Airport, and more than 700 businesses make this community an ideal location to stay for business or fun. The hotels in the region are equipped with numerous amenities that will meet the needs of any guest, from meeting spaces and business centers to exercise facilities and indoor swimming pools.

Binoculars for wildlife
"I wouldn't go out without my binoculars if I was taking photos"
TV presenter Chris Packham and his stepdaughter and fellow presenter Megan McCubbin discuss the Canon kit they always turn to when they're observing and photographing wildlife.
BBC wildlife presenter and passionate conservationist Chris Packham has travelled the world observing and photographing nature – all on Canon kit. Taken on a Canon EOS 5DS with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens (now succeeded by the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM) at 102mm, 1/2000 sec, f/6.3 and ISO400. © Chris Packham
Chris Packham's gift for communicating his passion for the natural world makes him one of the UK's best-known naturalists. A popular TV presenter since 1986, he's also a prolific author and photographer, as well as an active conservationist and campaigner.
Chris regularly presents nature programmes for channels including the BBC, National Geographic and Animal Planet. Among them are the BBC's Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch, which he co-hosts with his stepdaughter Megan McCubbin, a zoologist, conservationist and photographer.
In this exclusive interview, John Maurice, Canon Europe's European Product Marketing Manager, talks to Chris and Megan about their experiences of observing nature with binoculars, the Canon kit they use to capture wildlife images and why a company's ethics are so important.
Megan is a keen user of Canon 10x32 IS binoculars and admits to being blown away by the Powered Image Stabilizer function, which enables a steady and therefore clear view of your subject when there is movement from yourself or the platform you are standing on. "I've recently spent a lot of time on boats, looking at dolphins and gannets, and it just goes such a long way in compensating for the movement of myself and the boat. It was pin-sharp all the time, which really helps when learning through your binoculars or trying to teach other people," she says. Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens at 400mm, 1/1250 sec, f/7.1 and ISO200. © Megan McCubbin
Like Megan, Chris also owns Canon 10x32 IS binoculars, which he keeps in his kitchen cupboard. It's a piece of kit he feels all wildlife lovers should have in their backpack. "Essentially, for a naturalist, it's difficult to live without them," he explains. "If you see things bigger, you see more detail, and that should allow you a better chance of identifying and enjoying watching what you're looking at."
John Maurice: I'd like to start by talking about your observations, because Canon is all about seeing something and then capturing it in an image. How do you look for and identify things in nature?
Chris Packham: It's a combination of context, where to look for something, and perceptual attributes in terms of being able to see and identify it. For a predator, the acquisition of a search image for particular prey is essential for its survival. I think naturalists do a different thing, but we do also develop our abilities and hone our senses to be able to find things. It's about looking in the right place at the right time for something, and being able to discern subtleties of its shape, form, movement and so forth in different aspects and weather conditions. It's those small details which allow you to identify things in microseconds. Occasionally, what you're seeing doesn't provide you with enough information to make a rapid diagnosis, and then you need to not just see it, but actually look at it. The looking implies the necessary study for a couple of seconds, and by then it's given away more clues as to what it is. You need a keen eye for detail and need to be looking at not just the bigger picture, but every single tiny part of it.

John: Binoculars are a key tool you use for identification. What magnification do you prefer?
Chris: There's always a balance between field of view and magnification, but I've used Canon's 10x32 IS binoculars since they first came out. They live in my kitchen cupboard because I've got a window nearby from which I look out onto my bird feeders. 10x is a good entry for people who don't know how good the image stabilisation is, because they'll be astonished if they try it. It's so good I've thought of increasing to a higher magnification to 12x or 14x, because the stabiliser makes those magnifications practical and hand-holdable.
The difference the IS makes when viewing wildlife is clearly visible. The image of the bird viewed when the Powered Image Stabilizer has not been activated (above left) is much blurrier than the image viewed with IS (above right).
The Powered Image Stabilizer option on Canon's IS-equipped binoculars counteracts movement for steady handheld tracking and viewing.
John: Within the series you own, there's the 10x32 IS, 12x32 IS and 14x32 IS, and they're all the same size and weight – it's just the magnification that differs. A 10x pair of binoculars is about the equivalent of a 500mm lens. For things like birdwatching, people tend to use 8x up to 12x magnification. Meg, which binoculars are you using?
Megan McCubbin: I'm also using the Canon 10x32 IS binoculars. They're absolutely glued to me everywhere I go and even at home they're always within reach. They're the most comfortable binoculars I've used. I never realised how much I needed image stabilisation before I had them – it clears my mind so I can just focus on that detail I'm watching. Looking through those binoculars, I've seen things I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
John: There's a natural similarity between putting an Optical Image Stabilizer unit in binoculars and in our lenses – the optics shift, compensating for your movement. Without it, your eyes have to work really hard, especially when using high magnification binoculars, leading to eye fatigue and headaches if viewing over a long period of time.
Chris: For me, the other key thing about image stabilisation is the increased ability to identify things. There's no question, if you're looking at something at the extreme end, of its ability to be identified, specifically dots in the distance. As soon as you press the Image Stabilizer button, you can identify it. I think it buys you an extra bit of magnification because it allows the clarity of detail to appear as soon as you touch that button.
"I like the arty, abstract kind of shots – things that make you question what you're looking at," says Megan of her photography. "There's no point in taking the same photo someone else has already taken. I like going in for details and trying to find something a little bit unusual perhaps." Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens at 400mm, 1/1000 sec, f/9 and ISO200. © Megan McCubbin
John: The binoculars you're using at the moment are not as heavy as the all-weather and waterproof models, but they still have some degree of weather resistance. That's probably where a lot of people will find a nice balance.
Megan: It's that sweet spot, isn't it? Because carrying cameras and lenses, the weight easily adds up, especially in remote locations when you're doing a lot of walking and hiking. But equally you don't want to compromise too much on that quality.
John: When you're both out and about, looking at nature and identifying it, do you have a camera and binoculars with you?
Chris: I wouldn't go out without my binoculars if I was taking photos, because a lot of the time I need to find the subject first. So binoculars are the first stage, then I get on with the photography. However, it's very easy then to completely lose the experience, because you're concentrating so much on the picture that you lose the moment. For me, the minute the binoculars go down and the camera comes out, the game's changed. I equate binoculars to identification, observation and enjoyment. I equate the camera with getting the picture.
Megan: I think getting the photos is enjoyable, but it's a different kind of enjoyment. When you've got the camera out, you're focused on something entirely. You're thinking about composition, light, sharpness and so on. Whereas often I'll go out and deliberately leave my camera at home because as much as I enjoy taking photos, it's important to live in that moment.

As well as his favoured Canon 10x32 IS binoculars, Chris has also tried and been impressed with Canon's 10x42L IS WP. "They've stood up in all conditions," he says. "They've not been underwater but they've been very wet. They've also been to Antarctica and have been extremely cold."

When out and about observing nature, Chris likes to put his Canon 10x32 IS binoculars through their paces. "They're not only for looking at big things a long way away – they're also for looking at little things which are close to you," he explains. "Very often we reverse our binoculars, using them as a powerful magnifying glass. Megs and I were looking at some plants the other day in this way."

John: Chris, you've recently started using the Canon EOS R5. How have you found the experience of using that camera?
Chris: My favourite camera in recent years has been the Canon EOS 5DS R, but I was loaned a Canon EOS R5 and was so enamoured that I bought one. I love it. It's a phenomenal leap forward. The first thing I did with it was take it out to the beach on a sunny day with my dogs. Photographing black dogs running fast on a contrasty sunny day is never a joyous task. I was using the tracking focus, which picks up the eye, and it was astonishing. I got more sharp photos of those dogs pummelling down the beach at me than I'd ever got before, in one afternoon.
To go with it, I bought the new lightweight Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM lens. When I put it on the EOS R5, it's a game changer, because I can carry that easily. That's my go-to lens now. I shoot everything on it because I really like shallow depth of field.
John: How about you, Meg?
Megan: I'm using the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and my favourite lens is the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x. That lens lives on my camera. It's slightly heavier perhaps, but I willingly carry the weight because I love the effect it gives and the extra magnification. I like details in my images, but I want to get as close as I possibly can without disturbing an animal's behaviour.
Chris: I recently had a Canon EOS R converted to infrared. It's the best thing I've done for years photographically. It's a really good discipline to have and interesting to explore what infrared can do in different situations.
There's something critically important to us that we haven't touched on, and it's all to do with ethics. One of the key reasons we're very happy Canon users is because of Canon's ethical policies when it comes to things like trophy hunting, employment conditions, waste and minimising pollutants in the production chain.
Megan: I get asked a lot more questions now about the ethics of the optics brands I use, rather than the quality of them. How brands are functioning is becoming quite a hot topic in the wildlife sector.
The Covid-19 pandemic, and the resulting worldwide lockdowns, have led to a renewed interest in local nature and wildlife according to Megan. "People have been sharing images more than ever before," she explains. "They might just be snaps out of the window, but they're seeing things they would have been too busy to see. The reason why I love photography so much is that you don't have to speak the same language as the person looking at the photo – it transcends boundaries. People have been connecting all over the world at a very lonely time… and that brings so much comfort."

John: We've said before that we don't support any hunting activity and we never put up funds for sponsoring these events. Our brand team constantly looks at all the things we produce for cultural sensitivity but also environmental sensitivity.
Chris: It's all about change, isn't it? We have to constantly make those changes which are beneficial to ourselves and the environment. It comes down to education and it's up to people like Megs and myself to make sure we're flying that flag.
John: Conserving our natural environment ties into the observation and appreciation of nature and capturing it. Hopefully, doing that will encourage people to look after the environment and appreciate the value and beauty of it.
Megan: When they're starting out observing nature, people often feel they have to be able to identify everything they see, but sometimes it's just about the mental wellbeing that the natural world gives us. How we experience the biodiversity in our gardens, whether we're photographing it or looking at it through binoculars, adds so much richness to so many different people's lives.

Q: Centered layout not responsive I am developing a website with a centered layout, i.e. a 3 column grid with the websites content in the middle column (50%) and a 25% empty columns to the left an right.
So far, it looks pretty good in a full-sized browser. However, if I reduce the browser window's size (or use a mobile viewport) the 25% columns remain to use space. Is there a possibility by which in smaller environments the 25% columns gradually reduce their size to zero?
Or is the grid-approach bad?

A: Try @media (Mozilla CSS - media).
@media (min-width: 576px) {
  .col1 {...}
  .col2 {...}
  .col3 {...}
}

Two York professors receive prestigious SSHRC Impact Awards
Tuesday, November 17th, 2015.
York University Professors Susan McGrath and Stephen Gaetz have been recognized for excellence in research by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). McGrath and Gaetz are the recipients of the SSHRC's prestigious Impact Awards. The awards were announced Nov. 16 at a special reception in Ottawa.
"These awards are fantastic recognition of the vast contribution that York researchers Stephen Gaetz and Susan McGrath have made to their innovative research programs," said Robert Haché, vice-president research and innovation at York University. "To have two of our leading researchers receive awards from SSHRC in the same year indicates the significance of the work of York's researchers and their commitment to scholarly excellence."
Susan McGrath
As a professor in the School of Social Work in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, Susan McGrath's innovative work in leading the Refugee Research Network (RRN) has resulted in a successful research partnership that works to improve the well-being of refugees and forced migrants. McGrath received the Partnership Award, which is given to a partnership that, through mutual cooperation and shared intellectual leadership and resources, has demonstrated impact and influence both within and beyond the social sciences and humanities research centre.
The RRN, which was originally titled A Canadian Refugee Research Network: Globalizing Knowledge, was awarded a $2.1 million SSHRC Strategic Knowledge Clusters Grant in 2008.
It is composed of multiple networks and research clusters of experts in a variety of fields, who are charged with generating knowledge regarding refugee issues in their geographical regions. Participants include policy actors, academics from universities across the global north and south and researchers, all of whom stay in touch and share ideas through online platforms and as part of an annual meeting that takes place in Toronto in conjunction with the Conference of the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration.
As they share knowledge amongst the partners, the networks in turn exchange knowledge with refugees and forced migrants, most of whom are located in nations of the Global South. The RRN's Facebook page has over 19,000 users, including refugees and people who may become refugees. They post and gather information such as safe travel routes and are able to provide active feedback on the RRN's reports.
McGrath, director of York University's Centre for Refugee Studies from 2004-12, was awarded the Order of Canada in 2014 for her contributions to refugee rights' research and policy, as well as for nurturing scholarly collaborations.
As a professor in the Faculty of Education at York University and the director of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness and the Homeless Hub, Stephen Gaetz has garnered international attention for his work on homelessness. He received the SSHRC Connection Award for his work to facilitate the flow and exchange of research knowledge both within and beyond the academic community. The award is given to an individual or team whose project has engaged the community on a particular subject, generating intellectual, cultural, social and/or economic impacts.
Stephen Gaetz
Gaetz has played a leading international role in knowledge mobilization in the area of homelessness. York University played host to 2005's Canadian Conference on Homelessness – the first research conference of its kind in Canada. In addition, York University now hosts the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness and the Homeless Hub, the first comprehensive and cross-disciplinary web-based clearinghouse of homelessness research in the world. The focus of this network is to work with researchers across Canada to mobilize research so that it has a greater impact on homelessness policy and planning.
He is the lead author of the State of Homelessness in Canada (2013; 2014), as well as two recent reports on youth homelessness: A Safe and Decent Place to Live: Towards a Housing First Framework for Youth (2014) and Coming of Age: Reimagining our Response to Youth Homelessness in Canada (2014). He is also the author of The Canadian Definition of Homelessness (2012), The Real Cost of Homelessness. Can we save money by doing the right thing? (2012), Can I See Your ID? The Policing of Homeless Youth in Toronto (2011) and Family Matters: Homeless youth and Eva's Initiatives "Family Reconnect" Program (2011).
Gaetz is committed to a research agenda that focuses on social justice and attempts to make research on homelessness relevant to policy and program development. His research on homeless youth has focused on their economic strategies, health, education and legal and justice issues, and more recently, he has focused his attention on policy and in particular the Canadian response to homelessness.
He was associate dean of research and professional development in the Faculty of Education. Prior to his time at York University, Gaetz worked in the community health sector, both at Shout Clinic (a health clinic for street youth in Toronto) and Queen West Community Health Centre in Toronto.
The annual Impact Awards recognize the highest achievements from outstanding researchers, students and research partners in social sciences and humanities research, research training, knowledge mobilization and scholarship funded partially or completely by SSHRC.

Q: Rails 3 Routing Error with Nested Resources In my Rails application, there are many games, and each game has it's own set of leaderboards.  It makes sense then, to have the leaderboards nested in the game, so you can only get to a leaderboard through a game.  I setup my routes.rb file as such (the important part):
resources :games do
  resources :leaderboards
end

So then I updated my controller so it would get the appropriate game from the game_id passed in, and grab the leaderboard information from that.  However, my issues comes from my view.  In this section (auto generated view from the scaffold):
<% @leaderboards.each do |leaderboard| %>

    <%= leaderboard.name %>
    <%= leaderboard.scoreColumnName %>
    <%= leaderboard.game_id %>
    <%= link_to 'Show', [@game, leaderboard] %>
    <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_game_leaderboard_path(leaderboard) %>
    <%= link_to 'Destroy', [@game, leaderboard], :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>

<% end %>

The code breaks saying:
No route matches {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"leaderboards", :game_id=>#<Leaderboard id: 1, name: "Test High Score Leaderboard", scoreColumnName: "Score", game_id: 1, created_at: "2011-07-03 01:32:33", updated_at: "2011-07-03 01:32:33">}

This line, it turns out is the error: (line 19 in my code)
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_game_leaderboard_path(leaderboard) %>

Removing this line, and the view renders fine. So, the URL part is broken, but how do I fix it?  The weird thing is, I have that exact "edit_game_leaderboard_path" in the Show view, and it works fine... what am I doing wrong?

A: You want:
<%= link_to 'Edit', edit_game_leaderboard_path(@game, leaderboard) %>

A Son's Dream to Serve in the IDF
JOL Staff
IDF Soldier Yehuda Hasid
Yehuda's Hasid's childhood memories often involve his father telling him stories and anecdotes from his military service. On Shabbat afternoons, he listened on as his father repeatedly told the story of how he met his mother during the First Lebanon War. "The closer I got to my enlistment date, the more anxious I became. As I heard more and more of my father's time in the army, I wanted to be just like him," Yehuda says.
The enlistment process was going smoothly, and Yehuda had passed his first test to reach an elite combat unit in the IDF. Shortly thereafter, fate spoiled his plan to follow in his father's footsteps. On Yehuda's 18th birthday, his father greeted him in the morning and went to work. "That was the last time I saw him alive," said Yehuda.
"He had been called up to service in the reserves and, that day, he did not return. His boss came to our home and told me: 'your father has died. How do we tell your mother?' Then my entire life collapsed, and I broke down. I immediately dropped out of all of my examinations and gave up on my dream of being a fighter in the IDF, like my father. It was my mother who forced me to keep going. She convinced me not to give up on my dream and it was her who kept it alive."
Eventually, Yehuda joined the Israel Border Police. A year later in Gaza, while caught in the middle of a confrontation with terrorists, a grenade exploded beside him. The wounds were severe. Shrapnel was embedded in his limbs and, still today, Yehuda has chips from the grenade ingrained in his throat and heart. "The recovery process was gruelling, but the encouragement I got from my family and fellow soldiers in my unit motivated me to continue. I wanted to return to service as soon as possible."
Almost two years later, just as Yehuda was about to finish his compulsory service and fulfill his second dream, starting officer's course, fate once again made a bad move.
Yehuda and his friends went out for drinks to celebrate the completion of their compulsory service. When it came time to return home, Yehuda chose to get behind the wheel. "Since I drank the least among my friends, and because we thought a taxi would have been too expensive, I made the stupid decision to drive that night. But what does a bit of money matter when it comes to life itself?"
He fell asleep at the wheel as the car he was driving hit another vehicle. Luckily, no one died in the accident. Yehuda, however, was very seriously injured. He lost his memory for over two months, and he didn't recognize himself or the circle of loved ones around him.
This time, the rehabilitation process was much longer and more arduous. "I felt useless," Yehuda explains, looking back. "I was once handsome and muscular and, in one second, I suddenly became a useless rag. My younger brother looked at me and knew that I would no longer be the same."
As a result of wounds, the IDF lowered Yehuda's medical profile, claiming he was no longer fit serve in combat. But Yehuda insisted that he continue. "My family supported me all the way through. Without their help, I would not have made it to where I am today. They, along with my father, who has remained my pillar of strength, kept me going through the everyday hurdles." With the help of his family, peers, and medical team, Yehuda was able to remain in the military reserves.
After the Second Lebanon War, in which Yehuda participated as a reservist in an elite combat unit, the IDF offered him the chance to resume his military service. The dream once again became tangible and, after a few months, Yehuda officially began his officer's course. None of it came easily. However, Yehuda knows he is privileged to have been able to pass the course.
"I have two commanders who fought for me against all odds and, because of them, I was able to finish the course. Unfortunately, I cannot share their names, but they know I am eternally grateful," Yehuda says.
"I know it sounds a bit poetic, but we have no other country," he said when we ask him why he wanted to continue serving in the IDF. "I believe in our country and, for me, it is an honor to wear this uniform."
Yehuda has immense appreciation for those who helped him recover through his many difficulties. "It's not just a saying that 'behind every man is a woman,'" Yehuda laughs. "My wife, Elinor, supported me and encouraged me to fulfill my dream. I know many women who would not allow their husband to be away from home, in a combat role, six months out of the year, especially while she was pregnant."
Yehuda hopes to soon be a commander of a squad in a combat unit. "Just like my father, who was the light that guided me at all times, I know I can be the father figure to guide my soldiers and make them feel protected."
Yehuda Hasid.

Forcing people to perform acts contrary to their religious convictions is one of the most egregious forms of abuse of power. History is replete with reports of religious martyrs who died horrible deaths rather than violate the tenets of their faiths.
Embryonic stem cells have cured no one. Adult stem cells have cured people in over 80 diseases. Embryonic stem cells require the death of a human embryo to extract the cells.
"Every dollar spent on the failed and unnecessary process of embryonic stem cell research steals resources away from the established utility and potential of adult stem cell research. This is fiscally irresponsible and medically unconscionable." — Michelle Cretella, MD.

Police Test and Evaluate New Class A Dress Uniforms
UPDATE (July 6, 2020): Following the test and evaluation of multiple uniform colors, the Department selected the navy blue Class A dress uniform. The public can expect to begin seeing officers wearing the Class A uniform beginning July 6, 2020. However, officers may been seen wearing the old heather blue uniform shirt during the transition, until all officers have been issued the new navy blue uniforms.
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Arlington County Police Department has launched a test and evaluation of new Class A dress uniforms. Members of the public can expect to see select officers wearing dress uniforms in navy blue or gray as they evaluate the fabric, fit, function and durability of these garments. All officers participating in the test and evaluation will be easily identifiable as Arlington County Police Officers as the test uniforms will be adorned with the police department's patch, officer's name tag and badge of authority.
The department proposed exploring new uniform options after discovering that unique uniform colors, including our current heather blue shirt and pant stripe, are increasingly difficult to obtain. The new Class A selection is expected to simplify and streamline the distribution of uniforms across the department.
The test and evaluation will occur through March 2020. The department will then review the officer feedback before selecting and implementing a new Class A uniform by the summer.
Changes to Class A Uniform for Officers Participating in Testing and Evaluation
The current Class A shirt in heather blue will be replaced by test shirts in navy blue and gray. The Class A uniform pants will be navy blue in color and the existing stripe will be eliminated.
Officers not participating in the test and evaluation are authorized to wear the current Class A uniform until a new selection is made.
Patrol Uniform to Remain Unchanged
There will be no change to the standard patrol uniform which is navy in color for patrol officers and green in color for K9 officers.


Event marketing is a useful tactic to help promote your law firm. Events provide very tangible evidence that you are a proactive firm. They help raise your profile, enhance your credibility and give you content to enhance your digital footprint. They can be done with relatively small budgets and can be used to strengthen strategic partnerships. But where do you start? We have a few event suggestions to get you started.
Seminars provide a forum to demonstrate your credibility and expertise. It is worth partnering with another related expert, that way you will have a broader appeal, can share the workload and benefit from more than one promotion source. Providing free seminars also have the benefit of boosting your CSR profile while hopefully collecting new prospect contact details.
Charity events are a simple way of creating events without looking like too much self-promotion. If you piggyback existing events it also cuts down the workload and you can pretty much guarantee there is already some interest in the event. The charities themselves will also gladly promote your events.
Showing your support for the local community events while raising your profile is another simple way to add to your events programme. Join in with your local seasonal late night shopping events, carnivals and school and college open days. If you want a more measurable ROI, get involved with your local business chambers and trade organisations.
Exhibiting at trade shows can get pricey so pick your event carefully. Research the delegates and make sure they are the best audience for you. Exhibitions can range from local and regional business shows to specialist sector events and careers shows. If you do decide to exhibit just make sure you do all the prep and aftershow work to make sure you get the best coverage and ROI, you will be amazed how many exhibition leads never get followed up after the show.
No one can deny the power of networking but how about holding your own networking events or business forums?
Awards provide a whole range of opportunities. You can attend to show support for the community or industry sector the event is for. Use it for hospitality taking your best clients as your guests? Enter the awards yourselves for added PR and kudos or event sponsor the awards to raise your profile. All these opportunities will come with the added benefit that the organisers will help you promote your presence in whatever form that takes. Or if appropriate create your own awards, promote yourself as the credible thought leader and create events that can demonstrate and cement your relationship with that sector.

When you decide to get pecan gifts, or even just sit down to enjoy these nuts yourself, you're at the receiving end of a long chain of time, effort, and care. Pecans, like other crops in America, take time to grow, but, maybe even more importantly, they need proper protection while they do this.
Most people think that it's only fragile crops like grains and vegetables that need a lot of love and care. But even pecans, which come from trees, need the help of experienced agricultural experts to make sure they grow up safely and produce the nuts people love so much. Insects, for example, can be a big threat to the pecan gifts you may eventually buy.
There are different types of insects that present different threats to a pecan tree. Aphids, for example, prefer to eat leaves. But leaves are the solar panels of a tree, and eating those leaves impacts the ability of the tree to process sunlight for its growth. On the other hand, Apple Tree Borers, despite the specificity of their name, are just as happy boring into a young pecan tree as they are an apple tree. Regardless of the type of tree, the structural damage that can eventually hurt the entire tree is the same.
And finally, for human purposes, probably the worst offender of all is the Shuckworm. These insects actually feed on the nuts themselves. Left unattended, they can slow the maturation of pecan nuts, can damage them, and render them inedible.
Fortunately, most of these issues can be taken care of by doing just one thing; making sure pecan trees are healthy! A healthy, hydrated tee, with just the right amount of fertilizer, is not as appetizing to many of these insects as a less healthy, more vulnerable tree. For your pecan gifts and other pecan products, we always en-sure our pecan trees get only the best protection so you get the best pecans!

Subway Service Alerts: Brooklyn Heights and Vicinity
By Claude Scales on March 4, 2015 11:52 pm in Transportation
It's projected to be a green light weekend from 11:00 p.m. Friday, March 6 to 5:00 a.m. Monday, March 9, as no route diversions, station skips, or cancellations are planned that would directly affect service at any local stations. The following week, Monday, March 9 to Friday, March 13, each night from 11:45 p.m to 5:00 a.m., there will be no Brooklyn bound service at Court Street, as N trains, which replace the R on that route late at night, are being diverted to the Q line between Canal Street and DeKalb Avenue. If you're taking the N from above 14th Street, transfer to the 4 there to get to Borough Hall. From below 14th, use the 2, 4, or A as options. There will be no 3 trains running during the same hours on those nights, but the 2 should be running normally.
For planned service changes that may affect travel on other parts of the system, either during the weekend or the following week, see MTA Info or The Weekender.

Q: Beep() function when cross-compiling on Linux for Windows I've used this guide to set-up cross-compiler in Linux for Windows binaries:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Code::Blocks_and_Cross_Compilers
Simple programs works and generates .exe files as expected. However when I try to use specific Windows.h functions - no reasonable results.
For example Code:
int main()
{
    Beep(1000, 1000);
    MessageBeep(MB_OK);
    return 0;
}

Don't produce system beep sound neither MessageBeep() works. Any suggestions ?
EDIT:
Output from nm
Output from objdump
I don't know is it related, but also when I execute this binary on my Linux system I get some warning on console:

fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__wsopen_s : pmode 0x01b6 ignored

Примечания


We have a funny story about Cliodhna and Neil, two weeks previous we were in Kinnity filming Jane & Adams wedding, when up came this guest to us. There was a couple of seconds of awkwardness as myself and Sue tried to figure out where we knew him from, but he helped us out, "You're filming my wedding in two weeks." Having not seen Neil since our Skype call a month or two previous, we were both a little embarrassed, but that was short lived as we realised right then how small a world Ireland is. Neither Neil nor us knew either was going to be at that wedding. If you watch that video, you might catch a glimpse of Neil (or Griso, as Adam affectionately calls him)!
On the day of Cliodhna and Neil's wedding, we arrived in Borris to a beautiful day and an even more beautiful bride. The ceremony was held outside in the very pretty Step House Hotel garden and featured a custom wooden wedding arch created by Cliodhna's brother.
One unforgettable part of the day for us were the bridal party pictures atop of the Borris Viaduct, a 16-arch limestone viaduct (the 16 Bridges) built in 1860, situated at the lower end of the town, which was intended to carry the now defunct Great Southern and Western Railway line between Muine Bheag and Wexford. The awesome Viaduct provided for some truly dramatic landscape wedding video shots.
A big thank you to Cliodhna and Neil for asking us to capture their amazing day. You guys were awesome the whole day, and who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other at another wedding some time soon!

5 dead, at least 50 injured after Amtrak train derails in Philadelphia

Amtrak train derails in Philadelphia
[Latest developments]
11:46 p.m. ET: At least 49 people were hospitalized, including six who were critically wounded, authorities said.
11:41 p.m. ET: At least five people are dead, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said. Seven cars and engines in "disarray" – turned over, upside down, he said. "It is an absolute, disastrous mess."
11:24 p.m. ET : There were approximately 238 passengers and 5 crew members on board, Amtrak said.
[Full story]
As day broke in Philadelphia on Wednesday, rescue workers were still searching inside the mangled wreckage of an Amtrak train that derailed the night before, killing at least six people and sending another 150 to various hospitals.
At least five people died and about 50 hospitalized, including six in critical condition, authorities said. The train was carrying 238 passengers and 5 crew members.
"It is an absolute, disastrous mess," Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said of the crash site. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."
The Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188 was traveling from Washington to New York when it derailed north of the city of Philadelphia, Amtrak said. The cause wasn't immediately known.
"We do not know what happened here. We do not know why it happened," Nutter said. There was no indication the derailment was a result of an impact with another train, he said.
Firefighters arrived to find seven cars and the train's engine either turned over or upside down. Some passengers were able to escape safely. Crews had to cut through the cars to get to others.
"This is a nightmare and it can't be happening," passenger Joan Elfman told CNN affiliate KYW. "There are many, many injured people."
The moment of impact
Word of the derailment quickly spread on social media, with posts on Twitter describing crews searching for wreckage and helicopters hovering overhead.
NTSB is currently gathering information about tonight's Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia.
— NTSB (@NTSB) May 13, 2015
Video from CNN affiliates KYW and WPVI showed what appeared to be an overturned train car and people with flashlights searching the area.
Philadelphia police asked area residents to not crowd to the scene.
Attn: Public - Do NOT go to scene of derailment. Please allow 1st responders room to work
— Philadelphia Police (@PhillyPolice) May 13, 2015
Former Congressman Patrick Murphy said on Twitter that he was aboard the train when it crashed. "Helping others," he said. "Pray for those injured."
Later he shared a photo that showed a firefighter inside the train.
On Instagram, another passenger posted video of what appeared to be a rescue in progress.
A post shared by Yameen Allworld STSB (@yameenallworld)
Amtrak shut down rail service between Philadelphia and New York City for the night. It set up a special number for those seeking information on friends and family aboard the train: 1-800-523-9101.

Where, how and what to purchase to hunt, fish and trap.
To hunt in Idaho you need a hunting license. Depending on the species you want to hunt, you may need a tag or permit.
Idaho has both controlled and general season hunts. General season tags are available on a first-come, first served basis. Hunters need to apply for controlled hunts, which are issued through a random drawing.
Anglers younger than 14 do not need a license, but there is a small difference between resident and nonresident youth.
A resident child under 14 has their own separate fishing limit.
A nonresident child under 14 must be with someone who has a valid fishing license and their fish are in included in the license holders fishing limit. However, a nonresident child may purchase their own license and have their own limit.
Find the cost of a license, tag, or permit. Fees are separated into resident and nonresident categories.
Not sure if you are a resident?
Hunters who are hoping to participate in a spring controlled turkey hunt have the rest of February to apply. The application period opened on Friday, Feb. 1, and runs through March 1. Results will be made available by March 20.
Don't wait to start hunting and fishing in 2019, there are lots of opportunities available right now.
With Black Friday and holiday shopping deals going on, here are some Idaho Fish and Game "hacks" you may not be aware of that can save you money and increase your opportunities.
* There is a processing fee for applications made by phone and online.
Which birds can I legally shoot year round without a license?

Easter is this weekend, are you ready to see the Scoppio del Carro in Florence?
The weekend will be a busy one for Florence and seeing the various posts on our forum and comments asking what is open or closed over the long weekend (as Easter Monday, or Pasquetta as it is called in Italy, is also a national holiday), here's an update with all of the information you need!
Many churches will be busy with extra services, so expect many to be closed or to just limit visiting times from today, Holy Thursday.
The monuments in Piazza Duomo, in particular, have special hours, and all will be closed to visitors on Easter Sunday.
Easter: Closed to visitors but open for services, of course.
The crypt will be closed April 17 and on Easter, April 20th. Open on April 18 and 19 as the cathedral above.
The cupola will be closed April 18 and on Easter Sunday but will remain open April 17 from 12:30 to 3:30pm and on April 19th, from 11am to 3:30pm. It normally closes all four days, so this is different than what you might find elsewhere for past years.
Giotto's bell tower and the Opera del Duomo Museum will be closed only on Easter Sunday and open from 8:30am to 6:50pm the other days. The Baptistery exactly the same but closes 20 minutes earlier, at 6:30pm.
As far as stores go, expect many to be closed on Easter Sunday and Monday but not downtown, where you'll find several boutiques, shops and all cafes and restaurants open.
The Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery and The Medici Villa of Cerreto Guidi: from 8:15am to 7pm.
The Medici Villas of Castello, Petraia, and Poggio a Caiano: from 8:15am to 6:30pm.
Palazzo Vecchio: special opening from 9am to midnight.
San Marco Museum: from 8:15am to 4:50pm.
Bargello National Museum: from 8:15am to 5pm.
Boboli Gardens: from 8.15am to 6:30pm.

For you, kissing is a very personal act. It's all about making a connection.
You are somewhat picky about kissing, and a bad kiss can ruin the moment for you.
You prefer to take it slow with kissing. You find that attraction is strongest when it builds slowly.
Kissing is best when you already feel close to your partner. Kissing gets better with time.
errrr...well that's good to know... not that I already didn't know...I am definitely very picky about kissing.... if you can't kiss, me no want!!!
Anyhow, gonna do my best to stand up straight and make you proud. Yup. Just so.
