Niche-specific professional groups
The club is made up of entertainment types of all kinds, including but not limited to working and aspiring writers, directors, producers, actors, agents, and entertainment lawyers.

Exclusive screenings of films that are followed by a Q & A, as well as a reception and opportunity to meet the filmmakers face to face.
Panels and Networking Events
Our panels and networking events are a great way to learn from successful professionals and get to know others in the entertainment community.
UVAELA facilitates writers groups in the Los Angeles area for television and feature films. Writers groups are limited to UVAELA members and are organized by Valerie Brotski (vbrotski@yahoo.com).
UVAELA holds an annual holiday party in conjunction with other UVA Alumni groups in the Los Angeles area. Always a fun event!
Writers' Groups
Want to join a writers' group with your fellow Hoos? Look no further.
The UVAELA Groups are nurturing and supportive networks of UVA writers seeking to improve their storytelling skills (for film, television, and fiction writers) and to help others along the way.
Groups are formed based on the number of respondents, writing level, and area of interest. There are a mix of abilities within each group, but with a greater ratio of experienced writers to newbies — one to two (maximum) beginner writers in a group.
Meeting schedules are determined by the group as well as locations, and are held at cafes or members' homes on a rotating basis. This is not a "hot-seat" critique format, but a relaxed, problem-solving workshop.
Since the group size is limited to six people, those interested in joining a group will need to fill out a short survey and submit a writing sample in order to be considered for placement, subject to space availability.
If you are interested or have any questions about the writing groups, please e-mail: Valerie Brotski (CLAS '97) at VBrotski@yahoo.com with the subject "UVAELA Writers' Group."
New to Hollywood?
When to Move to LA?
The sooner you can get to L.A. the better, generally speaking, but it depends on a few factors. Early spring though the summer months are good times to move out here.
Pilots staff in the early spring (January-March), and pilots and shows tend to find out whether they've been picked up for the fall in mid-May. By September, productions are generally staffed as the year draws to a close, and there won't be any new shows until after the New Year.
Note: the last two weeks in December are "dark" weeks, meaning most productions shut down for the holidays.
Start making preparations now for a move after graduation, ideally by June, as many shows are starting to staff up for the fall season during the mid-to-late summer.
Try to save money in advance of your move, as you'll need a car in L.A., car insurance, gas, and money for rent, a security deposit and utilities (and don't forget about health insurance). Once you're in L.A., you'll need time to find a place to live and get yourself set up/familiar with the city.
A word to the wise: don't move to L.A. unless you are sure this is what you want to do. If you have never been to L.A. plan to visit for a week or so. You might decide you hate it, but then again, you may fall in love with Tinsel Town.
A good website for apartment listings is: www.WestsideRentals.com It's a subscription service, so I suggest waiting to sign up for it until you know when you want to move, but aside from driving around town and looking for "For Rent" signs, it's the best way to find a place if you don't have housing arrangements.
When the time comes, be careful of landlord scams that try to rip you off for double or triple security deposits because you're from out of state. If you have a friend you can move in with, that will help you immensely with the finances.
Try to take some time driving around town to see which neighborhoods you like, and realize you may not be able to afford that neighborhood. Also check out Craig's List for apartment listings and roommates wanted ads.
L.A. is notorious for it's traffic jams and freeways. If you don't have a GPS or a nifty iPhone, purchase a Thomas Guide for Los Angeles County. You can find them at any bookstore and most convenience stores as well.
Sure you could always try Craig's List, but wouldn't it be great to find someone through the UVA network? Try joining our facebook group and see who you can hook up with there!

HOOS IN HOLLYWOOD PAY IT FORWARD
The UVA Entertainment Club of Los Angeles (UVAELA) has launched a new outreach initiative to help UVA students and alumni who want to work in entertainment.
Founded in 2008, UVAELA is unique among the University's alumni organizations – it is the only one that has a specific professional focus: the entertainment industry.
In show business, it's all about who you know – or, in the case of the UVA Entertainment Club of Los Angeles, the Hoos you know. "We know it's a challenge to create meaningful relationships in this business, and we strive to connect students and alumni with Hoos who want to pursue a career here," said Justin Paxton (CLAS '10), the President of UVAELA.
"Schools like UCLA, USC, and many others have the benefit of a physical presence in Los Angeles. Their students have the opportunity to network with entertainment professionals every single day," said Myron Santos (CLAS '01), editor on CBS' BIG BROTHER and Co-Chair of Outreach. UVAELA is addressing that imbalance by connecting interested students and alumni with current members.
The process is easy. Alumni can complete a form at http://bit.ly/UVAELAoutreach and select the aspect of the industry about which they would like to know more. Options include acting, screenwriting, producing, motion graphics, video game design, documentary, etc. The request is sent to an UVAELA member in that field, and the conversation starts from there. Current students can also contact the UVA Career Center at career.virginia.edu to find out more ways to connect with entertainment industry professionals.
"The diverse backgrounds and disciplines of our membership give us an advantage. If I can't answer a question, I know at least two or three people that could," said Christine Bachas (CLAS '95), an Emmy-nominated producer, UVAELA's Vice-President, and Co-Chair of Outreach. "We know how valuable and important networking is in this industry, and we want to give back. I wouldn't be where I am today without someone taking the time to give me advice and to introduce me to other people in my field."
In addition to the outreach initiative, UVAELA host events throughout the year to bring alumni and industry professionals together including a speaker series (most recently with Aynne Kokas, UVA Assistant Professor of Media Studies) and a mixer with Yale in Hollywood, Yale University's version of UVAELA.
"This is our mission," says Paxton. "We want to cultivate a strong community of professionals who can support, collaborate, socialize, and network with other UVA alumni in the entertainment business."
For more information, please contact Meggie Lam Chopade, Senior Associate Director, UVA Clubs and Global Engagement, at meggie@virginia.edu or 540-470-815.

Q: How to reduce the package size I have implemented an Android application using Xamarin:
The size of the .apk is 13.6MB with:

*

*Configuration: Release

*Linking: Sdk Assemblies Only

*Suported architectures: armeabi,armeabi-v7a

Here is the overview of sizes of the main components taken from the compiled .apk:
(these are the uncompressed sizes, I unarchived the .apk to a directory and looked to the files in Windows Explorer):

*

*classes.dex (1.23 KB)

*the two libmonodroid.iso (armeabi + armeabi-v7a) (5.58 MB)

*all Mono.xxx.dll (3.89 MB)

*mscorlib.dll (1.51 MB)

*all System.xxx.dll (2.56 MB)

*My app assemblies (the Droid app + one PCL)  (204 KB)

*MvvmCross + plugins (599 KB)

*Xamarin ActionbarSherlock (348 KB)

*ZXing.monoandroid (413 KB)

*PCL Newtonsoft.Json (398 KB)

*PCL Microsoft HTTP Client libraries (System.Net.Http.dll) (110KB)

*'res' folder (Size: 451KB Size on disk: 816KB) - because some files are 1KB they produce fragmentation, so Actual size vs Size on disk is significantly different

*all PNG files (Size: 325KB Size on Disk: 496KB on disk)

What can I do in order to reduce the size of the compiled .apk?
I find it pretty big.

A: Use linking: Sdk + User Assemblies, and go through the difficult process of marking classes with the Preserve attribute (see http://docs.xamarin.com/guides/ios/advanced_topics/linker/). You can check which class is missing when your app crashes in the android log. It should be only the classes used dynamically by reflection or using an IoC.
You can also create 2 separate packages, one with armeabi only (for very old devices), one with armeabiv7a, and one with x86 (currently your app will just crash on x86 android devices). Google play supports having 3 separate packages with different capabilities (don"t forget to change the capabilities in your manifest file for each package)

This article is a summary of my presentation at a recent OSA conference. It is posted here in response to requests from the audience. The topic attempts to answer two interrelated questions: what do ancient Greek, Latin, and Arabic sources say about the Oromo? When did a written source first report a functioning Gadaa System?

Title 50 - Wildlife and Fisheries
CHAPTER I - UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
SUBCHAPTER B - TAKING, POSSESSION, TRANSPORTATION, SALE, PURCHASE, BARTER, EXPORTATION, AND IMPORTATION OF WILDLIFE AND PLANTS
PART 23 - CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA (CITES)
Subpart B - Prohibitions, Exemptions, and Requirements
§ 23.21 What happens if a country enters a reservation for a species?
50 CFR § 23.21 - What happens if a country enters a reservation for a species?
(a) Purpose. CITES is not subject to general reservations. Articles XV, XVI, and XXIII of the Treaty allow a Party to enter a specific reservation on a species listed in Appendix I, II, or III, or on parts, products, or derivatives of a species listed in Appendix III.
(b) General provision. A Party can enter a reservation in one of the following ways:
(1) A Party must provide written notification to the Depositary Government (Switzerland) on a specific new or amended listing in the Appendices within 90 days after the CoP that adopted the listing, or at any time for Appendix-III species.
(2) A country must provide written notification on a specific species listing when the country ratifies, accepts, approves, or accedes to CITES.
(c) Requesting the United States take a reservation. You may submit information relevant to the issue of whether the United States should take a reservation on a species listing to the U.S. Management Authority. The request must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the last day of the CoP where a new or amended listing of a species in Appendix I or II occurs, or at any time for a species (or its parts, products, or derivatives) listed in Appendix III.
(d) Required CITES documents. Except as provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, Parties treat a reserving Party as if it were a non-Party for trade in the species concerned (including parts, products, and derivatives, as appropriate). The following table indicates when CITES documents must accompany a shipment and which Appendix should appear on the face of the document:
(1) The shipment is between a Party and a reserving Party, or the shipment is from a non-Party to a reserving Party and is in transit through a Party
The shipment must be accompanied by a valid CITES document(s) (see § 23.26) that indicates the CITES Appendix in which the species is listed.
(2) The shipment is from a reserving Party to another reserving Party 1 or non-Party and is in transit through a Party
The shipment must be accompanied by a valid CITES document(s) (see § 23.26) that indicates the CITES Appendix in which the species is listed. 2
(3) The shipment is between a reserving Party and another reserving Party 1 or non-Party and is not in transit through a Party
No CITES document is required. 2
1 Both reserving Parties must have a reservation for the same species, and if the species is listed in Appendix III, a reservation for the same parts, products, and derivatives.
2 CITES recommends that reserving Parties treat Appendix-I species as if listed in Appendix II and issue CITES documents based on Appendix-II permit criteria (see § 23.36). However, the CITES document must show the specimen as listed in Appendix I. If the United States entered a reservation, such a CITES document would be required.
(e) Reservations taken by countries. You may consult the CITES website or contact us (see § 23.7) for a list of countries that have taken reservations and the species involved.

The Unicorn Princess is a low-budget horse riding exploration game where you play as a girl who is contacted by a unicorn, asking for assistance in saving the dream world. It's a quick if overpriced 100%, and that's about it.
There are a few missable trophies to watch out for. As long as you make a manual save (because the game has no autosave) prior to finishing the game (i.e either before starting or while doing Mission 15) then you'll have something to go back to to clean up trophies). Assuming you make this save, then the only truly missable trophy in the game is accessible about ten minutes into a new game, so you don't have much to worry about there.
Some tips, because the game doesn't tell you:
Once again, there is no autosave. Periodically, press start/options and select "Save Game" to actually save your progress.
R1 is your friend. Double/triple-tapping it will make your mount go quickly. Unlike most other horse games, you will stay at that speed until you change it (or run out of endurance, which is pretty hard to do), so you don't need to worry about keeping any sort of rhythm.
None of the water is too deep for your horse to travel in – you just won't be able to go quickly. Don't be afraid of crossing in areas without bridges as a shortcut.
Whenever you're at or near the riding stable, clean your horse if its heart meter is nearing halfway. Once it hits halfway, your horse will refuse to jump. This won't bar you from playing through the rest of the game, but it does mean you'll have to take the long way around the large fenced in areas of the game. If it's not too close to halfway, you can just do the first two steps (brush and wash), then exit out and your horse will have a full heart meter as though you did all the steps.
Step 1: Play the game until Mission 15
Simply play through the game. Once you finish Mission 14, the game will actually warn you that you've hit the point of no return. Make sure you make a manual save at that point and you'll be just fine for the missable stuff near the end of the game.
Fail one of the three ring races during this playthrough, to save you about fifteen minutes of a new game if you miss that trophy.
By the end of this step, you will have earned (in order):
Bronze Rings
Rabbit Rescuer
Shield Master
Helmeted
Trash Collector
Golden Rider
Hoofing It!
Sword Master
Yummy Soda
Cross-Country Rider
And if you took my advice above:
It Happens (missable)
Step 2: Unlock the other missables
If you made the save I suggested in Step 1, you can do this step last if you want. Regardless of when you do it, you'll want to buy everything at Ramona and Finn's shops (they won't be fully stocked until Mission 14 ends) as well as find all 30 unicorn miniatures and deliver them to Penny. See each trophy for more information.
By the end of this step, you will have earned (all missable):
Unicorn Collector
Rich Ramona
Rich Finn
Step 3: Finish the game
Just one final mission. If you didn't make the save in Step 1 prior to being transported to the unicorn's world, you can make a manual save at any point in that world prior to actually ending Mission 15 and when loading the game back up, you'll be back at the beginning of Mission 15.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Noble Knight
Dream Dancer
themindisacity
Trophy Guide:
Meet the unicorn
Story-related and cannot be missed.
You will unlock this at the end of the first mission of the game, at the bridge.
Complete Mission 2
You will unlock this after finishing the first unicorn mission, where you need to run through a course collecting only bronze rings. You only need to collect seven rings to pass, but there are more bronze ones that you can collect if you wish.
Make sure you get It Happens out of the way during this mission, so you don't have to worry about that.
Find the rabbit
When returning back to the real world, a nearby smithy will be marked. Go there and another marker will show up – this is where the rabbit is. Interact with the rabbit to pick it up and unlock this trophy.
Find the shield
This is the fourth mission of the game / the second time you're with the unicorn. You will have to find a shield in a given search area that looks like the one you'll be shown on screen. You'll know it's the right shield not only because it looks identical, but because there will be sparkles all around it. Take it to the handoff point that spawns once you pick it up and the trophy will unlock.
If the placement is not randomized, then the shield is in the top right of the search area, just past all the yellow tents.
Mission 5 involves riding all over the map collecting flowers, then bringing them back to Ramona at the village.
This is the third unicorn quest – this time, you'll be running a longer race, and must only collect silver rings. You only need to collect seven to pass, but there's nearly triple that on the course, so don't worry if you accidentally collect the wrong ones while racing.
Mission 7 involves riding from the chapel to the hut, picking up a wooden unicorn carving, then bringing it back to Karl the priest. The trophy will unlock soon after handing it over.
Find the helmet
This is the fourth unicorn quest – like with the shield, you'll be searching for a specific item; in this case, a helmet. The correct one will be sparkling. When you've picked the correct helmet, take it to the drop-off point to unlock this trophy.
If the placement is not randomized, the helmet is located next to a house just above the "Village" text on your map. The house itself is right next to the bend in the river.
Clean up the village
This is the ninth mission of the game, and requires you to ride through 50(!) piles of trash to pick them up. They will all be marked on your map and everything's quite close to each other, so it's not too bad.
Complete Mission 10
This is the fifth unicorn mission, and your last chance to unlock It Happens. Like with the other races, you only want to collect specific rings – gold ones this time. You only need to get seven, but nearly all of the rings in this race are gold, which makes this one difficult to fail unless done deliberately.
Mission 11 has you gathering recipe ingredients from all over the map and taking them back to Mark in the village. The trophy unlocks when you hand the ingredients over.
Find the sword
This is the sixth unicorn mission, and you should be familiar with how you know if you have the correct item.
If the placement is not randomized, the sword is on the far right border of the map/search area. You should see two curved icons (they represent large rock formations). Ride up the hill to them and you'll see the sword by a smaller rock.
Mission 13 is a cart driving mission, from the village to the waterfall. You can't go very fast in the cart. Just follow the direct road. You will then need to drive the cart back to the village, because of course you do.
This is the seventh unicorn mission, and is the longest race you've had so far. There are no rings to worry about; instead, just make sure you jump over all the obstacles that are between the flags. Some of the obstacles are low enough that the game will let you just run through them; however, this will not check off that obstacle, which will result in you having to go all the way back to whatever you missed, so just make sure to jump whenever something is between the flags, and make sure the flags you're about to go through have an arrow above them indicating that's the next flag in the race.
After this trophy is the point of no return – the game will even warn you of this. Make sure you clean up the rest of the list before continuing with the story.
Before starting this mission, make sure you've unlocked Unicorn Collector, Rich Finn and Rich Ramona. If you make a save at any point during this mission (including when you're with the unicorn), you'll start at the beginning of this mission, so you have something to go back to to clean up those trophies if you haven't already.
You will need to find the sword, shield, and helmet again. The search area is roughly half of the map. If the placements are not randomized:
Sword – Homestead (the one that was the riding stables in modern day) – not actually at this homestead; that's just the closest map marking. From that homestead, ride around the top loop of the lake (the loop that has a bit of land in the middle of it) and you'll see a really steep hill you can ride up. The sword is there, among a circle of large rocks.
Shield – Village – top right corner of the search area – go past the white circle that is the center of the village and keep riding up to run into it
Helmet – Waterfall – top left corner of the search area – behind one of the houses
When you have all three, go back to the campsite and give them to the knight.
Win the entire game
Unlocks just after Noble Knight.
Find all unicorn miniatures
(MISSABLE)
This is a bit misleading, because you need to do more for this trophy than just find all unicorn miniatures. You need to find them in the world, then you need to take them to Penny and trade them in (she also is supposed to give you three rewards, but it's not money, so I don't know what it is). Once you've done that, then the trophy will unlock.
There are 30 unicorn miniatures spread throughout the game. However, they won't spawn until you return Carrot the rabbit to Penny during Mission 2. Once you've done that, then you can break from the main quest and collect the miniatures. They are all located in the real world; none of them are in the unicorn's world. To collect them, you need to pull up next to them and press : to pick them up; you can't just ride into them.
YouTuber Dwaggienite has put together a video showing the location of all 30 statues. It's not in the most efficient order if you're just getting the collectibles in a single go, but it's good to help you pin down locations:
He's also compiled a map of the locations (originally posted on TrueAchievements; the numbers and corresponding timestamps in the above video are reproduced below).
Collectible List: Left page
#1: 1:19
#10: 2:00
Collectible List: Right page
Fail a mission
There are only three missions you can actually fail. When you get to a racing mission (where you need to collect rings), finish the mission without collecting all the required rings, and you'll get this trophy.
The earliest point you can do this is your first mission with the unicorn (Mission 2) – just finish the race without getting all seven bronze rings. The bronze race is also the shortest one by far.
Buy all horse accessories
After finishing Mission 14, you will have around $23,000 banked. The game will warn you that you're about to enter the final mission; before doing the final mission, ride into the village and buy all the accessories from Finn (the horse guy).
When in Finn's shop, click on the arrow above the check button to access the actual accessories for sale. Buying all accessories will cost around $1200. You DO NOT need to buy all the barn upgrades and horses from him; just the bridles, saddles, and blankets.
Buy all clothes and hair dyes
After finishing Mission 14, you will have around $23,000 banked. The game will warn you that you're about to enter the final mission; before doing the final mission, ride into the village and buy everything from Ramona's shop, which will be fully stocked at this point.
Make sure you also click on the arrow above the check arrow, because that will take you to the medieval clothes menu and there's a few things to buy there as well.
Buying all clothes, hair dyes, and shoes will cost around $1500.

We are not paying attention to the present moment. And I am guilty too. And once we notice the change, it may be already too late. So we push ourselves into changes trying to maintain the equilibrium. And we often overdo.

Police Recruitments Resumes Soon – IGP, Usman Alkali Baba
Jul 6, 2021 Jobs Vacancies, News, Police Recruitments
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has reassured Police Officers and Nigerians that recruitment into the Nigeria Police will resume soon.
He stated this in Jos during his working visit to Plateau state Police Command. IGP Alkali disclosed that the Force and the Police Service Commission are working closely to achieve many things.
He added that recruitment will commence soon. He lamented the loss of gallant police officers while appreciating the sacrifice of fallen heroes. IGP Alkali said eligible children of fallen heroes of the force would be considered during the recruitment process.
Meanwhile, IGP Alkali has restated the commitment of his administration to improve the welfare and working conditions of police officers to enable them do more exploits for the Nigeria Police and the country at large.
While interacting with personnel of the command, the Police helmsman who said that he is determined to reposition the force also stressed the need for attitudinal change by members of the force as he will not hesitate to give as good as he gets to redeem the trust and confidence of the citizenry.
He further implored police officers to exorcise the impression that they are in the worst profession, prioritize the job, do their work diligently, and should be optimistic that they can succeed economically and socially in the police if they work with the fear of God.
He also expressed his profound gratitude to police officers across the country for their hard work and sacrifice which sometimes lead to the loss of lives. He described these as uncommon devotion to the service of their fatherland.
The IGP is travelling across the country to restore confidence and hope to police officers as they battle law and order, public safety and security challenges in the wake of an anti-police militancy in some parts of the country while the country battles an insurgency and a spike in violent crime.
Until Operation Restore Peace and the IGP's shuttle diplomacy, the police was at the forefront of combating violent crime and attacks on its stations and government facilities in many cities in the South-south and South-east of the country. Activities of a separatist movement had lent additional challenges to the fight.
Moreover, Operation Restore Peace is succeeding with massive reduction in attacks on the police, other agencies and violent crime.
The renewed vigour and confidence with which police officers carry out anti-crime operations and general law and order activities is salutary as IGP Alkali's pursuit of a positive connection with police publics and expanded service delivery despite the Nigeria Police Force's own challenges.

Apologise To Sunday Igboho, Escort Him To His Home & Let Him Resume His Normal Life – Prof Wole Soyinka Tells FG


Every year VMware holds its VMworld show, and for the past few it has drawn in excess of 10,000 people. I was there last year and it made Tech-Ed seem small in comparison. This year VMware didn't make a lot of hot announcements. Instead, it reiterated its wish to own the cloud market, both real external clouds and internal enterprise clouds.
VMware has a strong technical set of offerings here based on years of virtualization expertise. My only concern is that it's a closed, proprietary set of offerings. My inside sources say that it may take years for VMware to open up to other technologies such as Hyper-V. Meanwhile, Microsoft is bending over backwards to woo third parties.
I'm not nearly as smart as VMware CEO Paul Maritz, but I do know that for something as sweeping as cloud computing, IT wants choice and for things to be heterogeneous. Tell me where I'm wrong at dbarney@redmondmag.com.

Novel Outbreak Detection System That Combines Whole-Genome Sequencing, Machine Learning Shows Promise
The researchers estimated that the Enhanced Detection System for Healthcare-Associated Transmission may have prevented between 25 and 63 healthcare-associated transmissions of bacterial pathogens. Credit: Getty Images
The Enhanced Detection System for Healthcare-Associated Transmission (EDS-HAT) was found to detect multiple outbreaks that traditional infection prevention (IP) methods failed to identify. These findings were published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
In this study, researchers assessed bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens that were collected from a tertiary care hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania between 2016 and 2018. The researchers sought to assess the effectiveness of the EDS-HAT in detecting infectious outbreaks and identifying transmission routes compared with traditional IP methods. The EDS-HAT combined whole-genome sequencing (WGS) surveillance to identify outbreaks of infectious pathogens and machine learning to assess electronic health records to identify potential routes of transmission.
Among a total of 3165 clinical isolates included in the analysis, there were 2752 unique isolates clustered. The researchers identified a total of 297 isolates in 99 unique, genetically-related clusters, with 2 to 14 isolates contained within each cluster. Of the 297 isolates identified, 90.6% were sourced from inpatient visits, 9.1% were from the emergency department, and 0.3% were from outpatient visits.
Potential transmission routes were detected by the EDS-HAT for 65.7% of clusters containing 74.4% of the related isolates. Of the remaining 34 clusters, which comprised 2 to 5 patients and 76 isolates, no significant transmission routes were detected by the EDS-HAT.
During the study, the IP department requested WGS for 15 potentially actionable outbreaks of infectious pathogens involving 133 patients, including Clostridioides difficile (n=6), Serratia marcescens (n=3), Acinetobacter baumannii (n=2), Serratia maltophilia (n=2), Burkholderia cepacia (n=1), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=1).
The researchers estimated that the EDS-HAT may have prevented between 25 and 63 transmissions. They also noted that 3.1 to 8.0 fewer hospital readmissions at 30 days, and 1.6 to3.3 fewer deaths would have occurred if the EDS-HAT had been running in real time.
The cost of WGS was offset by the potential cost savings from treating infections, resulting in total cost savings between $192,408 and $692,532. Of note, The EDS-HAT was found to be more cost-effective compared with traditional IP methods for 88% to 99% of simulations.
This study was limited by its retrospective design, and it remains unclear whether the EDS-HAT would be as effective with the use of real-time WGS surveillance.
According to the researchers, these findings "suggest that EDS-HAT represents a potential paradigm shift in how outbreaks are detected in hospitals." In addition, "if instituted in real time, [EDS-HAT] can [decrease] healthcare-related costs and significantly improve patient safety," the researchers concluded.

Частично зрящите
Това са хора, които имат различни типове зрителни проблеми, в резултат на което те имат нужда от специално обучение.

Слабо виждащи
Това са хора със сериозни зрителни нарушения. За слабо виждащи се смятат хора, които не са способни да четат вестник от нормално разстояние, дори с помощта на очила. Те използват комбинация от зрението и други сетива, за да учат и за тяхното обучение може да е необходима специално адаптирана светлина, големина на шрифта, а понякога и Браилово писмо.

Официално слепи
Това са хората, които имат по-малко от 20/200 зрение на по-добре виждащото око или имат много ограничено поле на зрение /20 градуса най-голяма ширина/.

Напълно слепите
Например ученици учат чрез Брайловото писмо или чрез други невизуални медии.

Офталмологични
Това са заболявания, които водят до зрителни затруднения, са албинизъм, катаракт, глаукома, проблеми с очната мускулатура или някои видове инфекции.

Специалната педагогика и зрителните затруднения
Ефектът от зрителните проблеми върху развитието на учениците с тези проблеми зависи от сериозността, вида на нарушението, възрастта, при която зрителният проблем се е появил и цялостното ниво на функциониране на ученика. Много ученици, които имат множествени увреждания /например интелектуална недостатъчност и слепота/ имат зрителни нарушения.

Малко дете със зрителни увреждания е ограничено в откриването и изследването на интересни предмети от заобикалящата го среда, поради което опитът и знанията му са ограничени. Ограниченото опознаване на околния свят може да продължи, докато детето бъде подложено на мотивирано обучение или докато започне специална интервенция. Ранната интервенция е решаваща за учениците със зрителни затруднения.

We Need to Talk About Plagiarism
Image by ▲Bonard▼, shared under a Creative Commons Licence
We need to talk about plagiarism. We really need to talk about plagiarism. Why? Because it exists, and to paraphrase a film critic friend of mine: "It seems like there's a new plagiarism scandal in journalism every month."
He's right, it does feel like that, and from recent examples like Lianne 'The Queen of Cut and Paste' Spiderbaby, to Shaun Munro and T.J. Barnard from WhatCulture! it feels like the journalism industry has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
As a journalist, all you have is your integrity, and once that's gone, you have nothing. You are only ever as good as your last article, you will only ever be as good as the best article that you have ever written. Plagiarism never benefits anyone because once the plagiarism is uncovered – and it will be uncovered – then the writer and their publication will lose credibility and respect.
What shocks me is when people try to stick up for the plagiariser; although nine times out of ten, these are usually fans of the writer, who don't work within the industry, but there have been exceptions. Tim Lucas, the editor of Video Watchdog, made a very premature statement supporting Spiderbaby when her plagiarism was discovered, which he was then forced to retract when it became clear that she had in fact, plagiarised the articles that she'd written for him too.
It's odd that when a plagiarism scandal erupts, that many editors will stand by the plagiariser despite proof of their wrongdoing. For example, in 2011, Simon Kelner, then editor of The Independent, stood by Johann Hari after evidence of plagiarism and other questionable behaviour was brought to light. Instead of being sacked, Hari was suspended and sent for 'retraining' in the US. He handed back his Orwell Prize, made an "evasive" public apology, but didn't personally apologise to the writers that he had stolen from.
During his suspension, Hari decided not to return to the paper, and while both Hari and Kelner have since left The Independent, The paper's reputation was badly damaged, just as Hari's reputation was severely damaged by his plagiarism. So, despite Kelner standing by Hari, it was all for nothing; everyone came off badly because of his plagiarism and their failure to deal with it properly.
Obviously, an editor must support their staff, but when a staff member has plagiarised someone else's work, then they must also protect their publication. So, why then, do some editors reveal their loyalty to a plagiariser, when a plagiariser, by definition, is incapable of thinking of anyone but themselves? In the case of WhatCulture! their initial reaction was to continue as normal by not commenting on the accusations, and continuing to publish work by both the writers in question.
A few days later, and after significant pressure, they broke their silence, saying:
WhatCulture! Initial Statement
Although the editors may have thought that by acknowledging the scandal, they were then dealing with it, these tweets only created more questions. What processes? What disciplinary procedures? What steps had been put in place? By not being transparent and open about what exactly they were doing, WhatCulture! were complicit in their silence; it looked like they were supporting the plagiarisers on their team over basic journalistic integrity.
Unsurprisingly, no one felt that this was good enough, and not long after, WhatCulture! released an official statement on the scandal. They apologised profusely, not just to the writers whose work was stolen, but tellingly, they also apologised to the plagiarisers for putting them under too much pressure. Additionally, the offered compensation to all the writers who had been ripped off. It was a long time coming, and while the editors were initially slow to act, they did claw back some respect.
There are two very positive lessons that we can take from these recent plagiarism scandals. The first is that for every plagiariser, there is someone, somewhere who is willing to put the time and effort to research their output and find examples of plagiarism. So, for every Lianne Spiderbaby, there is Mike White, and for every Shaun Munro and T.J. Barnard, there is Maxwell Yezpitelok, Simon Columb and Ali Gray, willing to blow the whistle, to hold critics to account and to reveal the extent of every bad journalist's unethical practices.
The second lesson is that each time this happens, each time someone is caught plagiarising, the net tightens just a little bit more. People get angrier, editors get more wary and publications continue to crack down on this immoral and unethical behaviour. Exposing plagiarism in all its forms, whether it is uncovered in art, design, photography, film, music, journalism, poetry and academia forces us to confront it head on. It makes representatives of all these industries start to think about how they can make their respective disciplines better and more trustworthy.
In the case of journalism, the industry is under enough threat from outside forces for it to be destroyed by a series of bad journalists. As a collective we are already dealing with their being not enough jobs, little money, a lack of job security and cuts. Take a look at the new arts section from the Independent On Sunday, where it was decided that sacking all their arts critics – each of them well-respected writers with years of experience – was preferable to publishing 'reviews' like this.
Clearly, this attitude isn't good enough, and when editors and publications fail to properly deal with plagiarists, it not only undermines our industry; it damns us all. Inaction will be the death of arts journalism; not online content, not a lack of advertising, but apathy. Our apathy will kill the industry.
Publishing bad writers with poor ethics and an even worse attitude is not a good idea, and editors and publishers must stand up to these people. Their inaction condones the writer's behaviour and ensures that they will get away with it time and time again. It's time to make a stand, to send a message to say that plagiarism will not, and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
It's time to talk about plagiarism. We really need to talk about plagiarism. Why? Because we can't keep letting this happen in journalism.

What I Learned About Theatre Criticism in 2012
This year has really flown by. It seems like last week I was preparing for the Fringe and now, suddenly, here I am, sitting in my living room, surrounded by Christmas chocolates, wondering what the Hell happened this year. So, in the spirit of reflection, procrastination and a slice of goodwill, here are the vital lessons I learned about theatre criticism this year.
You Will Never Be Popular
There's one thing I can confidently say about being a theatre critic; you will have a very interesting relationship with those around you. Directors, actors, the public and even theatre FOH staff may not like you. Unless you've done something really personal to offend them, don't sweat it, this is part of the job. If you write something people agree with, they will celebrate you; if you write a piece that they disagree with, then they will probably dismiss you. Your name will be celebrated by some, but unfortunately, it will become mud in some circles – accept it, wear it as a badge of honour, but don't let it get you down.
Arguments on Twitter Are Never a Good Idea
I love Twitter – it's probably my favourite social network – and while I don't update my Twitter feed daily, I'm on the site every day, sometimes several times a day. But, like social networks, it has its downside, in fact, it has many downsides at times. The 140 character limit of a tweet can be frustratingly limited, and we're all guilty of leaping to the wrong conclusions because of one misunderstood tweet from time to time. So, even though so-called 'Twitter spats' can be very, very funny to read, they are nowhere as fun to be involved in – especially if you're on the receiving end of another person's unrestrained and completely unexpected bile. If you find yourself being drawn into a Twitter spat, don't rise to anything, keep a clear head, and a sense of humour.
Nasty Critics Get Nowhere
Have you ever had to work with, or had the misfortune of being around a nasty person? Someone who thought nothing of being rude about other people in order to make themselves seem better by comparison? Well, some people seem to think that this is the way forward in theatre criticism. All too often, I have seen new critics attempt to ruffle feathers by writing very harsh, or downright rude reviews – this doesn't get you very far, it gives you a bad reputation, and it makes you seem bitter. Don't do this. The way to make your mark is by writing good reviews and being a reliable writer, you want to make friends and influence people, not be rude and alienate them.
Other Critics Will Irritate You
Believe it or not, critics are people too. And just like every other human beings, we are as irrational and emotional and as fallible as everyone else on the planet. This year was the year that I really managed to get out there and meet lots of critics; from established critics, to brand new critics, to up-and-coming critics, and I learned something new from all of them. However, as with every vocation, it's almost impossible to get on with everyone, and some critics will naturally clash. Why? Because we are human; we share our opinions, we don't always agree with each other's opinions, and we have to work together in very confined spaces. So, accept that people will annoy you, and accept that you probably annoy other people too, and for the sake of a quiet life, try to avoid the ones you don't get on with, they're probably not really worth getting annoyed about.
Sure, some publications will get read regardless of the quality of their content; perhaps the best example of this is The Daily Mail, but please excuse the cliché for a moment, because content is king for critics. We have to get our facts right first time, we must be impartial, fair, and we have to make our points with care our signature style. Everyone's got a different way of writing, and that's what's really beautiful about the critical game – we're all very distinctive in our own way. But remember, when writing reviews to research the production, question its themes and direction and write well. Believe me, editors and readers always remember the critics that write well.
Online Publications Will Be the Future (In the Future)
The people that lament the apparent death of print journalism (see below) and it is true that the industry is losing more money every year; we haven't quite worked out how to make money from online journalism just yet. Yes, some publications, like The Times, have a paywall, and Newsweek recently ended their print edition to go online only, but the recent death of The Daily,Rupert Murdoch's paid news app for the iPad, proves that while demand for quality online journalism is high, we haven't quite found a way to make real, sustainable and regular money from it.
Print is Not Dead
Just a few years ago, traditional print journalism was in its prime, and online journalism was seen as more of a support to the print format. Now, of course, online has overtaken print, and many commentators, pundits, journalists and writers have been quick to cry that print journalism, for the most part, is dead. I disagree, there is still a market for print journalism – a lot of magazines can only work in the print format – and a lot of people prefer them. It's true, publishers, even some leading ones, are losing money – but the presses are still printing our daily, weekly and monthly magazines. In fact, until every company stops churning out a print version of their publication, then the medium is very much alive.
Know Your Worth
When you take your first wobbly steps on the sticky path towards becoming a recognised, respected and paid theatre critic, you will have to do some work for free. This is a great way to start building up your portfolio and getting your name out there, and the good thing about building up your portfolio this way, is that there are always lots of websites looking for voluntary writers. However, the bad thing about this situation is that there are always websites looking for unpaid writers. Like I said before, we're still trying to find a way to make money from online journalism, and so, many websites and editors can't pay their writers, because there is no money. This is true for a number of sites, but some sites can and do, pay their writers, but often use voluntary writers too. It's important to know your worth, though, and don't get stuck doing unpaid work for years and years or for the sake of 'getting a link back to your blog' or 'having your name published'. Get some writing work, get some experience, and then start looking for ways to get money for your work if you can.

Canfield makes most of chance
CORVALLIS � Can Sean Canfield do something no Oregon State quarterback has ever done?
That would be chosen by the Pac-10 coaches as the conference�s top quarterback when all-league selections are announced in December.
There have been Beavers who have led the Pac-10 in passing, and two this decade have gone on to the National Football League, but since the league expanded to 10 teams for the 1978 season, no OSU quarterback has been voted to the all-league first team. The only other Pac-10 school that hasn�t had a first team all-league quarterback in that span is Arizona.
Could Canfield be OSU�s first? Probably only if the Beavers (4-3 overall, 2-2 in the conference) stay near the top of the Pac-10 standings, but he will merit consideration with his numbers.
The OSU senior enters Saturday�s game against UCLA second in the Pac-10 in passing yardage and fourth in efficiency, a measurement that factors in elements such as touchdowns, interceptions and yards per attempt. This month, he�s been even better than his overall season statistics.
�In the last three games, he�s played his best football ever,� OSU coach Mike Riley said of OSU�s games in October.
In wins over Arizona State and Stanford and a six-point loss to USC, Canfield has completed 70-of-105 passes for 835 yards, with six touchdowns and one interception. His season numbers are 163-of-239 for 1,734 yards with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Canfield�s completion percentage of .682 is seventh in the nation, and well ahead of the OSU record of .606 set by Matt Moore in 2006.
�We�re just in a rhythm more than anything,� Canfield said. �I�m comfortable with the receivers, the playcalling (by coaches) has been outstanding and we�ve had good game plans.�
It�s also not unusual to see a senior playing the best of his career, particularly as a quarterback.
�It has to do with confidence and growth and decisiveness,� Riley said. �That�s the nature of the position.�
Canfield hasn�t quite followed the normal path to senior success. He had some of the usual struggles of a sophomore in his first season as a starter, throwing 15 interceptions and nine touchdowns before being knocked out of action in the ninth game by a shoulder injury.
Surgery followed that winter, and Canfield wasn�t ready to play until a month into the 2008 season. By then, Lyle Moevao had established himself as the starter, and only a shoulder injury to Moevao allowed Canfield to temporarily regain the starting job. He led the Beavers to road wins over Arizona and UCLA last season.
When Moevao�s surgically repaired shoulder wasn�t ready for the start of this season � and he�s out now with a foot injury � Canfield reclaimed the starting spot without a battle, but has left little question he�s deserving of the spot.
�I don�t really think back,� Canfield said. �The (shoulder) injury is what it was.�
There certainly seems to be no reason to think it hampers Canfield in any way. The 6-foot-4 lefthander can make every throw, and even with some inexperience among his receivers and a youthful offensive line, he�s been solid from the opening game. His standout numbers in recent games might more be an indication of the improvement around him rather than what he�s doing.
�I feel like I�ve been confident all year,� Canfield said. �There were a lot of little things on film that we saw we needed to fix from those two (September) losses and that�s what we did.
�There were a lot of good things we were doing on offense then, but now it�s all coming together.�
This is how Canfield imagined it could be when he was recruited by the Beavers, and saw a video of Derek Anderson �throwing the ball all over the field. That was something that really sparked my interest ... something that I wanted to come and take part in.�
After Anderson left for the NFL, Matt Moore took over and a solid senior season put him in the NFL, too.
Next? Canfield certainly looked like an NFL prospect as he picked apart USC�s defense for 329 yards and three touchdowns last Saturday.
�Canfield was great, a pro quarterback out there,� USC coach Pete Carroll said.
Canfield said Carroll�s praise �meant a lot to me� but thoughts of the NFL are �a little bit down the road. We�ve got half the season left.�
That, and then an all-league berth for Canfield?

        while (jParser.nextToken() != JsonToken.END_ARRAY) {
            String fieldname = jParser.getCurrentName();
            if ("id".equals(fieldname)) {
              // current token is "id",
                      // move to next, which is "id"'s value
            try{

      }

Question:
However- the results that I want (field: "id") are in the array "items". The code above starts at the first array "queries" and only sends me the 1 element named "id", which I don't care for. It then stops parsing based on the while statement and doesnt get to the "items" array. How can I change my code above to skip to the array "items" that I am interested in so that I can get the "id" fields that I want?

Thank you to @fge for explaining ObjectMapper and readTree().
I simply replaced the beginning of my top try statement as so:
try {
    JsonFactory jfactory = new JsonFactory();
    JsonParser jParser = jfactory.createJsonParser(new URL(st));
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    JsonNode input = mapper.readTree(jParser);
    final JsonNode results = input.get("items");
    // loop until token equal to "}"
    for (final JsonNode element: results) {
        JsonNode fieldname = element.get("id");
        System.out.println(fieldname.toString());

Tobogan – specjalnego rodzaju sanie, stosowane w ratownictwie górskim GOPR i TOPR, używane do transportu poszkodowanych w wypadkach górskich. Tobogan ma kształt łódkowaty i szerokie dno ułatwiające ślizganie, może też być wyposażony w dwie szerokie płozy. Z przodu i z tyłu znajdują się dyszle do sterowania saniami. Umożliwiają one wygodne i bezpieczne zwożenie rannego przez jednego ratownika (na nartach) – zamiast kilku, jak dawniej. Dyszle te pojawiły się w toboganie w latach czterdziestych XX w., w wyniku udoskonaleń wprowadzonych przez przewodnika tatrzańskiego Władysława Gąsienicę-Pazdura.

Life in the Medicaid Gap
(Interview 9/2015. Oil on canvas, 40 ins. x 30 ins.)
Florida has still not expanded Medicaid. Almost 400,000 Floridians have no realistic way of getting health insurance. Mariamee is still one of them.
Mariamee's story was featured in a JAMA Network article called, Portraits in Health Policy. Read Mariamee's story below to see what life is like in the Medicaid gap.
March 26, 2017. I am writing this portrait story two days after a failed Republican effort to remake US healthcare policy with a bill called the American Health Care Act.
CNN reported, "Seven years of Republican efforts to eradicate President Barack Obama's proudest domestic achievement ended Friday before a single vote was cast. House Speaker Paul Ryan sensationally pulled his Obamacare repeal bill from the floor Friday afternoon, a day after President Donald Trump had threatened to walk away from health care reform if he didn't get a vote."
This portrait story subject has fallen into the "Medicaid gap" because her state did not expand Medicaid as provided for under the Affordable Care Act. States' expanded Medicaid programs determine eligibility by income. Mariamee could get health insurance if Florida had expanded their Medicaid program. It has not.
Mariamee falling into the gap means she remains uninsured. Her income level is too low to allow her to jump onto the Affordable Care Act's online exchanges and get a subsidy to help her pay her premiums. As an able-bodied adult, Mariamee also does not qualify for traditional Medicaid in Florida. Healthinsurance.org writes, "Able-bodied, non-elderly adults who don't have dependents are not eligible for Medicaid in Florida, regardless of how low their income is."
Now that the Affordable Care Act survived the GOP assault, and remains the law of the land, will more states help people like Mariamee and her family by expanding Medicaid?
Here is Mariamee's story.
Certified Recovery Peer Support Specialist, Age 43, Uninsured
Mariamee loves her job. She is a peer specialist for those living with mental illness. A peer specialist "is an individual with lived recovery experience who has been trained and certified to help their peers gain hope and move forward in their own recovery."
Mariamee's 20 hour/week job is funded through a state grant. She earns under poverty level wages. As a part-time employee, she does not qualify for employer-provided insurance.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), provided a means for working yet uninsured low-income people like Mariamee to get health insurance. The healthcare law contains a provision called Medicaid expansion that extends states' Medicaid insurance programs to low-income people who otherwise would not qualify for traditional Medicaid.
The US Supreme Court, however, ruled that states are not required to expand their Medicaid programs to give full insurance coverage to low wage earners like Mariamee. The Court made that provision of the Affordable Care Act optional.
Florida, where Mariamee lives, has not expanded Medicaid. That means Marimee's state is throwing her into the Medicaid gap – earning too much to qualify for Florida's old Medicaid program, and earning too little to get subsidized insurance on the Affordable Care Act's online marketplace. As a result Mariamee remains uninsured.
Obamacare made no provision for those low wage earners living in states that rejected Medicaid Expansion. The law's authors never figured on a Supreme Court ruling permitting states to opt out of the healthcare law's Medicaid expansion provision.
What is life like for those in the Medicaid Gap?
Mariamee is a diabetic. She gets samples from her doctor. If she is desperate, she goes to the emergency room for supplies.
Mariamee is also the caretaker for her aging mother and two daughters. One daughter has severe respiratory problems and the other, diabetes.
Mariamee's mother has been very ill. Mariamee's caregiving duties prevent her from getting full time employment. The cost of hiring a caretaker for her mother would negate any additional money she would earn working full time.
Mariamee's oldest daughter aged out of traditional Medicaid while in school, and is also uninsured. Her daughter could no longer get medicine to treat her lung disease since she aged out of her state's health insurance programs. Without Medicaid Expansion in Florida, Mariamee's daughter had nowhere to get insurance.
Mariamee's younger daughter still meets Florida's age requirement to get insurance through a state program, but the $813 monthly deductible is making the insurance useless. The family cannot pay the out-of-pocket charges.
"As a family we have been through hell and back. First my mom's second stroke, then homelessness, then the death of my only sister, then a third stroke, then my daughter's pneumonias, nine of them, then lung surgery. In December, my mom's fourth stroke, then my daughter in the hospital four times, then our move, then my other daughter in the hospital, car accident, and now fifth stroke... But there are always angels around us. God will not abandon us."
Mariamee and her family have accumulated thousands in medical debt because they have had to use the emergency room as a doctor's office at times. An uninsured person using the emergency room for care still gets billed.
Mariamee's uninsured oldest daughter has gone to the ER several times since aging out of traditional Medicaid, and losing access to medicine to control her respiratory problems. (Before losing insurance and regular access to medicine she was stable and productive.)
Mariamee has become an advocate for Medicaid expansion in Florida. She also advocates for her community on other issues as well. "I've had a lot of practice because of my daughters."

Former House GOP Leader Says Partisanship May Sink Marijuana Reform
Former GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said on Thursday that partisanship in Congress makes it unlikely that marijuana will be federally legalized, even as he acknowledged that more members of his party support a states' rights approach to the issue.
During an appearance on CNBC, Cantor was asked whether he thinks federal legalization is on the horizon, but the former second highest ranking Republican in the House expressed doubts about the prospect.
"I think right now the issue of lack of bipartisanship is going to flow over into this," he said. "I think the comment that there is some kind of agreement on states' rights, I'm not so sure."
Watch Cantor's marijuana remarks, starting at about 5:00 into the video below:
Could new marijuana legalization policy be coming soon to the U.S.? Canopy Growth's CEO sees one "positive sign" ahead. https://t.co/lUAJJrhL2A pic.twitter.com/JR2FYAksB5
— CNBC (@CNBC) September 5, 2019
"I know on my side of the aisle there would be that sort of directional trend [in favor of letting states set their own cannabis policies], but I'm not so sure there's enough unity on even this issue," he said.
"Also, given the just opposition to cannabis in general, I'm not so sure this is an easy lift for Congress at all," he added, referencing comments made by former Food and Drug Administration Commission Scott Gottlieb expressing disapproval of CBD products.
But while partisanship, especially in a divided Congress, has arguably derailed plenty of recent legislation, marijuana reform stands out as an issue that has garnered particular bipartisan support. That's especially true of a bill from Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) that would simply allow states to implement legal cannabis systems without federal intervention.
President Donald Trump said earlier this year that he "really" supports that legislation and he reiterated last week that his administration is permitting states to set their own cannabis agendas.
Another piece of bipartisan cannabis legislation that would shield banks from being punished by federal regulators for servicing marijuana businesses has 206 cosponsors in the House—more than a third of the chamber's members. Twenty-six Republicans are signed on.
"If Eric Cantor was in touch with political reality, he would still be an elected official," Justin Strekal, political director of NORML, said of the former congressman, who lost his reelection bid during a primary upset in 2014. "I suggest that anyone who wasted their time listening to Cantor's words dismiss them promptly."
"Blaming partisanship is a typical and tired trope from hack commentators on cable news when they don't know anything about a policy," Strekal told Marijuana Moment.
During his more than 10 years in Congress, Cantor did not sponsor or cosponsor any marijuana reform legislation. And in his final year, he voted against amendments to legalize industrial hemp, protect banks that service state-legal marijuana businesses from being penalized and allowing doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs to recommend medical cannabis.

Q: Word VBA Creation Date as Just date and No Time Trying to get the creation date of a document with just the date and no time (this is to select all documents in a folder that were created on a given day).
I can get the date and time the documents were created but not just the date!
Is there a way to do this in Word VBA?
Currently using the following line of code for this:
       intDate = wdDocTgt.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Creation Date")

A: Try rounding (actually just take the integer part):
intDate = int(wdDocTgt.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Creation Date"))

Remember, dates and times are just numbers. Everything is stored in days, which means time is the fraction part. Removing the fractions removes the time.

A: ? VarType(ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date"))
 7
? vbDate
 7
? Int((ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date")))

"Rhode Island Report on the Judiciary 1983-1984"
I am pleased to report continued progress in the state courts. Through the efforts of our judges, administrators, and court staff — with the support and cooperation of the legislative and executive branches — the judiciary is now better housed, better equipped, and better managed. These advances are based on steady improvement over the last 15 years, but the progress made in the first five years of the 80's is particularly noteworthy.
