Enlarge / One among a number of styled Apple logos related to the October 30 occasion.
At 10am EDT (7am PDT, 2pm GMT) on Tuesday, October 30, Apple will host one other dwell occasion to announce new merchandise. We're anticipating new iPad Professional fashions and perhaps new Macs—however you by no means know what surprises may be in retailer. We'll be liveblogging the occasion proper right here, so come again for the most recent information when the occasion begins.
The brand new iPad Execs are anticipated to undertake a number of design components that must be acquainted to customers of the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and XR, like near-edge-to-edge shows and Face ID. We're additionally anticipating Apple to introduce new options that can attraction to software program builders and inventive professionals, like exterior monitor help. There's nonetheless lots we do not learn about these units, although, and Tuesday would be the day for filling within the blanks.
On the Mac entrance, Bloomberg and others have reported that main overhauls are coming for each the MacBook and the Mac mini. The previous would resemble a MacBook Air however with more moderen Apple designs and applied sciences just like the Retina (HiDPI) show, Thunderbolt three, and smaller bezels. The latter could be a giant improve over the present Mac mini, which has languished with out an replace since 2014. The Bloomberg report stated the Mac mini shall be focused somewhat extra up-market than its predecessor.
Different attainable bulletins embody iMac refreshes and extra details about the upcoming Mac Professional.
Apple's occasion will happen at an opera home in Brooklyn, and invites have been accompanied by inventive renditions of the Apple emblem, suggesting that the brand new merchandise shall be tied to the theme of artwork and content material creation, whether or not meaning app improvement or illustration. It is solely been a short while since Apple's Cupertino occasion asserting new iPhone and Apple Watch fashions, however the emphasis this time round will probably be on larger units—and we imply that actually, not by way of ubiquity. Tune in right here on Tuesday for all of the updates.

Cowboys lack killer instinct
By Dave Halprin@dave_halprin Dec 26, 2006, 11:53am CST
Share All sharing options for: Cowboys lack killer instinct
To be a Dallas Cowboy fan, at this moment, is a test of a person's faith. When all outward signs point to a team in collapse, you have to turn inward to find any kind of belief. On Christmas Day, we witnessed the dismantling of a football team. I'll be reviewing the game tape later today, and we can talk about individual players who performed poorly. But as a team, the Cowboys showed a distinct lack of the abstract quality some call the killer instinct. This intangible manifests itself in the form of a team that welcomes the defining moments in a season and takes full advantage of them. The Cowboys are shrinking violets this season when it matters most.
When New Orleans came to town, it was a marquee matchup of the teams destined to be #2 in the conference, second only to a very good, but flawed, Bears team. This was a moment begging for the killer instinct. The time was ripe to put a foot on the throat of the rest of the NFC and to show the Bears they had real competition for the NFC Championship. Nothing was guaranteed by winning that game, but losing it guaranteed they still had to prove themselves. Losing it in the way they did, losing it by completely getting out-classed on the field was an outward display that the killer instinct was absent. No one denies Dallas has the talent to do great things this season, but this team has yet to learn the art of winning when the stakes are the highest.
In the NFL, there are plenty of second chances. One week's death leads to another week's resurrection. The Cowboys got another shot at the big one - a defining game - this time for the coveted NFC East championship, a home-field playoff game, and some restored pride for an organization that has been on the bottom in the East for most of this decade. This was a chance in front of a huge audience to prove this team could beat one of its rivals in the biggest game of the season for both teams. Win this game, and you've developed the killer instinct. You understand what it takes to succeed at a high-level in the NFL. This game had mock-playoff written all over it. This was the test-run. The fact that the Cowboys failed so miserably is enough to shake the last remaining foundations of any fan's belief.
Dallas has had big wins this season. Beating Carolina on the road in Tony Romo's first start was significant; it told the team that they could win with Romo. Beating the undefeated Colts was a huge confidence boost; the team knew they had the talent to play with anybody. The win against the Giants in the Meadowlands built on that momentum and set them up to win the NFC East. All those wins set the Cowboys up for the chance to do something special this season.
NFL teams aren't truly tested until the play in December. That is the crucible that steels a team for the playoffs to come. Twice now, the Cowboys have had the opportunity to do something special at their home stadium in December, and both times have turned in efforts that reek of also-rans. Losing those games by being utterly dominated in every phase of the game leaves very little room for the belief that they can become contenders again.
But it's the NFL, so nothing is over until it's over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? But having any kind of faith that this team can be counted on when everything is on the line is getting near impossible. There are no more practice runs. They play Detroit on Sunday, and by the end of that day our position in the standings could look very different. We could go all the way from losing to Detroit and basically packing in a season - even though a playoff game would still need to be played; to winning and still capturing the NFC East if Philly tanks against Atlanta. We don't know who or where we'll play in the post-season, but we do know that will be the next test of this team's killer instinct. Fail that test, and the real soul-searching begins.
Update [2006-12-26 17:57:55 by Grizz]: Apparently, not everyone is an Animal House fan. I was ripped on another board for being ignorant or insensitive for thinking the Germans actually bombed Pearl Harbor. Let me make plain what I thought would be obvious, I was using a classic line from Animal House uttered by the immortal John Belushi.

How to tell the difference — and what to do about it.
It's no fun coping with the stuffy, dripping head congestion of a winter bug. But how do you know if you're fighting a common cold or a sinus infection? "The symptoms can overlap, and it can be hard to tell the difference," says Dr. Ahmad Sedaghat, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
More than 200 viruses can cause a common cold. The most common culprits — responsible for up to 40% of colds — come from a family of viruses called rhinoviruses.


The 11th Slovenian Congress of Ophthalmology with international participation and the 34th Symposium of Ophthalmology of Slovenia and Croatia will take place in period from 9th-11th of June 2016 in Portorose. At the boot, Extreme will present the newest products of our partners Canon, CSO, DORC, Lightmed, Moria, Optopol, Quantel Medical, Right, Schwind and etc. For the 1st. time our new principal Rodenstock will participate at exhibition. Welcome!


In his 1998 book, City Reading, historian David Henkin notes that the proliferation of print forms in antebellum New York — lithographs, popular literature, banners, street signs, handbills, newspapers, banknotes, etc. — "marked the streets as a site of public reading" (3). He advocates that, while "reading the city" is a familiar theme in urban studies, we should also pay attention to reading in the city. Today, the texts and tweets on our phones share the textual landscape with urban screens and electronic tickers and wheatpasted posters. Yet our cities have long functioned as scriptural landscapes and substrates for reading material. This reading list glosses over a few chapters in that epic history.
Thanks to the "epigraphic habit" of first- and second-century Romans, the facades of their ancient cities functioned as archives for their citizens' existence.
In the 10th through the 12th centuries, the Fatimids of Cairo displayed official writing on their minarets' exteriors and on other public structures. Architecture thus functioned as an infrastructure for communicating territorial claims and codifying beliefs; and the specific aesthetic properties of those "public texts" — their materiality, form, and color — played a key role in how they were read, and what they said.
In the new age of print, the proliferation of mass-produced guidebooks, street posters, brochures, maps, and collectible images changed the way people read and navigated their cities, and brought new urban readers — tourists, pilgrims — to town.
Nineteenth-century New York gave rise to myriad new print forms, which generated new readers and makers of public texts, and had a "palpable material presence in the streets." Those streets and structures, in their rectlinearity, meanwhile, had a homologous formal relationship to columns of print.
The ubiquitous newspaper page, in its quick pace and transience, and in the discontinuous reading practices it promoted, embodied the habits of modernist urban living.
The rise of the public library, in cities large and small across the world, brought texts in all formats into the hands of urban denizens of all stripes.
In recent years urban streets have spawned small informal collections of books — little libraries — that constitute a reaction against the privatization of public space, the weakening of public institutions, the corporate control of media's content and conduits. These mini-collections bring public reading, and the commons, back to our public streets.
In this age of ubiquitous connectivity, the humble telephone pole – a scaffolding for the wires that connect our homes into global networks – serves as a hub for local notices and flyers and pleas for the return of lost pets. While the community connected by its wires is widely networked, the pole itself rallies a community that is hyper-local.
In the "Digital Dynasty" of South Korea, a nation that prides itself on its speed and spread of digital connectivity, a haven for old-fashioned book publishing and slow reading has arisen over the past decade in the Han Valley, not far from the demilitarized zone.
Tomine's covers show poignant moments when readers – of paperbacks, e-readers, smartphones – find either privacy or intimate connection amidst the city's often-overwhelming publicity.
The artists in this Tate Modern exhibition ask, what about the public voice? What of reading aloud? Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Caroline Bergvall, Amar Kanwar, and others consider the aesthetic and political potentials of the testimonial, the oral witness, poetry and song.
How do we read and form reading publics when so much of our public reading takes place on urban screens — both those at the scale of a block-long building façade, and those that fit in our palms?
As more and more of our urban operations are automated and algorithmized, their logic locked in a black box, how can we read into our urban operating systems?


If you are one of the people who is trying to combat weight issues to lose weight, then you might not be alone. In the world a large population if it is overweight and has tried different products that lead to loss of weight inefficiently. The most commonly used drug for combating this kind of problem is Phentermine.This drug is a psychostimulant drug that has been usedfor suppression of one's eating habits by regulating the hormones present in the body. This is a prescription-only drug which so can be obtained from the local pharmacies by the people. Hence not many people can use it. Another derivative of the drug Phen 375 is an over the counter drug and can lead to similar effects.
Phen 375 is an alternative to Phentermine which is an amphetamine type drug which has been marketed in various countries.Phen 375 is composed of caffeine, cayenne pepper and other ingredients like calcium carbonate, L-carnitine. The recipe of the drug varies for different countries, and it is difficult to find. It leads to loss of weight in a person due to loss of fat. A person to get the optimal effect needs to follow the doctor's advice and restrict the calories in the diet. Change in thediet increases the metabolic rate of the person thus leading to loss of fat of the body. Doctors often recommend regular exercises this leads to increase in physical activity that boosts the loss of fat from the body. This drug is not recommended for those who want to lose a few pounds or get leaner muscles but rather by those prone to have health issues due to obesity. The drug use leads to changes in one's diet by eating smaller portions.Drastic changes in the body is proof that Phen375 works for weight loss.
As the name suggests Phen 375does not contain Phentermine but leads to similar effectsdue to the different components that are present. The calcium carbonate in the pill increases the strength of the bones by providing a necessary supply of calcium to it. This helps in maintaining the calcium requirement and contradicting the effect of minimal levels of calcium which has been observed in most obese people. The presence of caffeine and cayenne pepper makes it more thermogenic increases the metabolic rates of the body affecting in weight loss. The L-carnitine is a useful molecule as it transports the fat molecules to the mitochondria (the energy centres) to burn more fat. This helps in reducing the fat in the bloodstream to convert it to energy which is required by the muscles.
The effective dose of the Phen 375 as recommended by the manufacturer is either one or maximum of two pills a day. Each pill contains 800mg of the drug, so it is strictly recommendednot to overdo the effect. The reviews by many people proof that Phen375 works for weight loss. This effect is not same for all types of people as in some cases it might lead to more effective weight whereas some reviews also state that they have found no such effect. Care should be taken not to use these drugs for more than a period of 6 months as it can be harmful to the body.

Q: WebRTC: Undefined reference to "__real_malloc" in Android project linking with WebRTC library My project is an NDK-based Android shared library that links in Chromium's WebRTC shared library. When linking my project's native code component, I see some "undefined reference" errors, but they are for symbols that should be generated by the linker itself:
    __real_malloc, et. al.
    __executable_start

The undefined references stem from WebRTC object files:
base/allocator/allocator_shim_default_dispatch_to_linker_wrapped_symbols.cc:39: undefined reference to `__real_malloc'
base/trace_event/trace_log.cc:1615: undefined reference to `__executable_start'

My question: Why are these symbols undefined? How can I fix it? These are the only errors reported. There are no other errors or warnings.
I look forward to any insights from the community. I've been stuck on this for a long time! I'm new to Android development and probably doing something basic wrong.
Thanks!
Additional background information, in case it's helpful.
WebRTC build environment:

*

*Ubuntu 18.04

*Toolchain: NDK r13/clang/llvm (installed via Depot Tools)

*Cross-compile for Android

My own project build environment:

*

*Windows 10

*Toolchain: NDK r19/clang/llvm

*Cross-compile for Android

I build my project using a Gradle+CMake configuration generated by Android Studio. First I have to build Chromium's WebRTC library using their Ninja-based build system (called Depot Tools). Once that succeeds, I create a static library for the WebRTC component using a bash script:
    # Get the names of all the object files.
    find ./obj -name *.o >libwebrtc.list
    # Generate the static library.
    cat libwebrtc.list | xargs ar -crs libwebrtc.a
    # Add an index to the static library.
    ranlib libwebrtc.a

Now I have a static library with WebRTC symbols I can link into my project (my project is itself a shared library). As an aside, I wonder if there's an "official" way to build this static WebRTC library. I couldn't find any mention of it.
Next, I compile and link my project using the NDK's externalNativeBuild to call my CMakeLists.txt script. It compiles everything with no warnings, but the linker fails to find a the symbols mentioned above.

A: I solved my own problem. For future reference: The Chromium WebRTC build does in fact create its own libwebrtc.a static library. I didn't need to make it myself. Everything links successfully when I reference the "official" version of libwebrtc.a.

Today I was surprised to see that Rob Bell was trending in Twitter. Normally the "top ten" of the twitterverse is reserved for the likes of Justin Beiber et al. You know, the people that all the kids are into these days... But, Rob Bell? How did that happen? I had to find out... One click, and inspecting just a few tweets revealed why. That theological dirty word has been thrown at someone again like the proverbial "mud" and as always, it's stuck... universalism. Rob Bell is a universalist. Well, that's what we think he is at least. He must be if he titles his book "Love Wins", doesn't he?

One of the darkest days in recent Australian history had an even greater impact because it was captured on film. On December 15, 2010 a boat full of refugees crash into rocks on Christmas Island, which lies to the North-West of the mainland of Australia. Tragically many of the people on board did not survive, including children and babies. I know that many people in Australia were shocked by the images that were shown on our TV screens. We watched, along with the helpless bystanders, in disbelief at what was transpiring.
Of course in the days to come questions were asked about what could have, or should have, been done to prevent this tragedy as society angrily sought someone to blame. Was this due to Government policy? Where was the Navy? So on and so on, the questions kept coming.

It was pointed out to me recently that there are fewer and fewer musicians in The Salvation Army than 15 - 20 years ago. It's a complicated scenario, but I would like to suggest one contributing factor to this. I suggest that this is the collateral damage of the Worship Wars. I don't need to describe to you what happened during the 90s in particular when whatever was "old" was considered "bad" and so abandoned for the "new and relevant" worship and mission tools. Part of what has been lost, or is being lost in the vast majority of corps is brass bands. Now, I don't want to open up old wounds, nor "take sides" in a dead debate from last century. That's not my agenda here. I just want to highlight what we lost when we abandoned banding on a large scale in The Army.
Here are some videos of the announcement of the 19th General of The Salvation Army, Linda Bond.


The Wizards used a late 11-0 run to pull away and defeat the Bucks 110-105. John Wall led the way with 24 points and 11 assists but Kelly Oubre stole the show with 19 points (a career high) and nine rebounds in arguably the best game of his young career. Bradley Beal and Marfieff Morris chipped in with 20 and 15 points respectively.
The Wizards started this game out sluggishly, connecting on just one of their first seven shots as they found themselves in an early hole. The Bucks shot 61 percent in the first quarter behind several three-pointers from Mirza Teletovic, as they took a 32-23 lead at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Wizards bench came up big, starting the quarter on a 12-0 run to regain the lead. After that, the Bucks held the lead for a majority of the second quarter but the Wizards were able to fight back and tie the game at 52 at halftime.
The Wizards got off to another sluggish start to start the third quarter as the Bucks outscored the Wiz, 10-2 over the first 4:42 of the quarter. The Wizards countered with a 9-0 run as the lead would seesaw back and forth only to be tied at 77 entering the fourth quarter.
The Bucks got out to a six-point lead but once again, it was Kelly Oubre who came up with big plays. A corner three-pointer as well as a steal and a dunk on the other end helped the Wizards regain the lead and ice the game.
The Wizards have now won two straight and three of their last four games.
Oubre was the first player off of the Wizards bench for Markieff Morris and was then tasked with guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo for parts of the second half. He made his mark with 19 points (9 in the first half) and nine rebounds. Rather than dribbling the ball into crowds, Oubre stuck to his strengths tonight with catch-and-shoot threes as well as put backs around the rim.
Oubre picked off a pass in the fourth quarter and finished with an uncontested breakaway dunk. Plays like this were something Wizards fans dreamt of when he was drafted. Expect Oubre to get more and more minutes as the season rolls along.
The reserves combined for 32 points tonight (16 in the first half) led by Oubre with 19. The bench started the second quarter on a 12-0 run as the Wizards regained the lead, 35-32. Aside from Oubre, Burke turned in a decent performance as he scored five points tonight. This was key as Burke did all of his scoring in the second quarter as Wall was resting on the bench. The bench, often known for blowing leads, was able to maintain and regain the lead tonight, at least in the first half. Let's hope that what we saw tonight becomes more of the norm for this unit.
The Wizards won a game where five players scored in double figures with three (Gortat, Oubre, Morris) players coming up just one rebound or point shy of a double-double. For the first time in a long time, the Wizards got a great, all-around effort. Morris, who's caught a bit of heat this past week for his lack of effort turned in one of his better performances. It was a collective effort as Wall, Beal, and Porter all hit key shots for this team down the stretch.


I don't give my children medication very often. In general, I think medications are over prescribed and kids are often over medicated. Ironically enough, two of my children ended up getting medication tonight before bed. My oldest got an over-the-counter medication where I just used the measuring/dosing cup that came with the product. My baby, got an antibiotic that I used a syringe to dose.
After putting them to bed, I pulled out my copy of the September 2016 Pediatrics journal. Wouldn't you know it, there's an article about medication dosing errors: "Liquid Medication Errors and Dosing Tools: A Randomized Controlled Experiment." Naturally, I was intrigued. In short, we're all blowing it when it comes to giving medication to our kids.
The study found that 84.4% of parents made one or more dosing errors (as defined by being off by 20% or more) when giving medications. (Parents were measured giving 9 different doses). I was blown away; almost everyone made mistakes. Furthermore, more errors were made with cups than syringes.
Over time, lots have studies have shown how bad it is to use kitchen spoons, teaspoons, and such to measure and give liquid medications. They are all different sizes, so it makes sense that many dosing errors would happen using those methods. I just never imagined so many mistakes would happen with the devices designed to measure medications.
So how do I get the most accurate measurements?
Use a syringe to measure. Use the smallest syringe possible for the amount of medication needed (e.g., if the medication dose is 0.7 mL, use a 1 mL syringe rather than a 10 mL syringe). The closer the medication dose to the syringe size, the more precisely it can be measured.
Choose a syringe that has markings for individual numbers (e.g., 1 mL, 2mL, 3 mL, etc., through 10 mL instead of 5 mL, and 10 mL only).
When drawing up the medication, make sure the syringe is completely depressed and the end is completely covered with the liquid before drawing up the syringe. Draw up more than needed and then push out the excess back into the bottle "down to the desired dose." This will ensure air bubbles are not drawn up in the dose.
If the medication arcs slightly in the syringe (where the liquid comes up slightly on the sides), use the bottom of the arc to line up the measurement.
Avoid spoons, cups, teaspoons, etc.
Doctors should write liquid prescriptions in "mL" (milliliter) doses. However, sometimes doctors inadvertently write them in teaspoons (a bad, old habit). In case they do, it's worth knowing what doses are equal.
I hope this helps you dose liquid medications more accurately to your little ones. I know I'm going to ditch the medicine cups that come with the medications and stick with syringes.

Abstract Registro Referencias Citación
The optimal acceptance threshold hypothesis provides a general predictive framework for testing behavioural responses to discrimination challenges. Decision-makers should respond to a stimulus when the perceived difference between that stimulus and a comparison template surpasses an acceptance threshold. We tested how individual components of a relevant recognition cue (experimental eggs) contributed to behavioural responses of chalk-browed mockingbirds, Mimus saturninus, a frequent host of the parasitic shiny cowbird, Molothrus bonariensis. To do this, we recorded responses to eggs that varied with respect to two components: colour, ranging from bluer to browner than the hosts' own eggs, and spotting, either spotted like their own or unspotted. Although tests of this hypothesis typically assume that decisions are based on perceived colour dissimilarity between own and foreign eggs, we found that decisions were biased toward rejecting browner eggs. However, as predicted, hosts tolerated spotted eggs more than unspotted eggs, irrespective of colour. These results uncover how a single component of a multicomponent cue can shift a host's discrimination threshold and illustrate how the optimal acceptance threshold hypothesis can be used as a framework to quantify the direction and amount of the shift (in avian perceptual units) of the response curve across relevant phenotypic ranges.

AGO Issues Arrest Warrant For Ex-Football Chief
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) on Sunday issued an arrest warrant for ex-football chief Keramuddin Karim a day after he was banned from the sport for life for sexual abuse, a spokesman for the AGO, Jamshid Rasuli confirmed.
Karim was fined $1 million by FIFA and the verdict came on Saturday after a meeting of the adjudicatory chamber of the ethics committee, the Associated Press reported.
Quoted by the Associated Press, FIFA said the "'investigation into Mr. Karim concerned the complaints lodged by at least five Afghani female football players, accusing him of repeated sexual abuse in the period 2013-2018, abusing his function as President of the AFF."
The issue was raised by a member of the Afghan Football Federation, Khalida Popal, who claimed last year in December that woman members of the federation were abused physically and sexually by male members of the AFF at its headquarters and at a training camp in Jordan in 2016.
US Ambassador to Kabul John Bass says in a tweet that they welcome FIFA's decision on former football chief Keramuddin Karim. "We call on the Government of Afghanistan to complete its investigation, and ensure justice is served," he said.
He said that "the Afghan women must be supported and provided a safe work environment free from harassment or assault, whether their workplace is a government office, school, private business, or a football pitch".
FIFA has banned Karim from football for life for sexually abusing female players.

In hospital mating season, one Chicago health system is looking more formidable
Kristen Schorsch
Rush wrote to the CMS expressing concern in May, when it learned the hospital had fallen to a three-star rating, down from the five stars it had received in every previous release.
As one would-be giant hospital merger in the Chicago area fell apart this week, a rival is creating a model it hopes will entice other partners to join it.
Rush University Medical Center, an academic hospital on the Near West Side, Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora and Rush Oak Park Hospital in that west suburb are now officially operating as one academic health network. They have a new parent system, called Rush, that will steer the strategy and dollars from a new 13-member board of trustees with an eye toward growth. Dr. Larry Goodman, now CEO of Rush University Medical Center, will be the CEO of the entire system in addition to his current role.
"We want to make sure patients can access the kind of quality care they can expect anywhere there is the Rush name," Goodman said.
The system is positioning itself to be among the handful of local hospital networks still operating in the coming years, as experts predict that nationwide hospitals will shutter or partner up to survive as doctors focus on prevention and treat patients in cheaper outpatient settings.
Rush has been relatively quiet on the merger front while other big Chicago-area health systems like Advocate Health Care, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare and University of Chicago Medicine have wooed smaller systems or hospitals to join them. Hopes for Downers Grove-based Advocate, the largest hospital network in Illinois, were dashed earlier this week when it called off a merger with NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston after a federal judge sided with antitrust regulators worried that the marriage would hike prices for consumers. Combined, the new health system would have been the 11th largest nonprofit hospital network in the nation.
The new Rush is packaging and selling itself as one. The perks: It's a research-focused hub with a built-in pipeline of future medical workers (doctors, nurses, researchers) now studying at Rush University. It has about 1,800 physicians and an expansive outpatient footprint, with new sites opening in Chicago's River North and South Loop neighborhoods, and in Oak Brook. An estimated $500 million outpost on Rush University Medical Center's campus is underway. Goodman said there's likely more to come.
Each hospital in the system will retain its own board and management. But investments in Rush-Copley underscore how the enhanced partnership is already paying off. It's installing a roughly $40 million electronic medical records system from Epic, as part of an effort to have each Rush hospital on the same IT platform to better coordinate patients' care. The hospital, already a market share leader in the west suburbs, also needed help adding expensive specialists, such as neurologists, to its roster.
"I think once those things are all in place, there's an opportunity to see cost savings and clinical enhancements," said Barry Finn, CEO of Rush-Copley. "We're starting from a fairly strong position."
Bruce Elegant, CEO of Rush Oak Park, said the hospital has earned a prestigious Magnet designation for its nurses and cut costs per patient visit by about 10 percent since Rush University Medical Center took over in 2012 from Wheaton Franciscan. Dr. Brian Cole, a prominent doctor for the Chicago Bulls and White Sox, became the chairman of surgery, the hospital is about to break ground on a $30 million emergency department, and it plans to add about 30 specialists from Rush University Medical Center. That's about a third more than this community hospital has now.
In the last five years, there's been more of a focus to "elevate Rush Oak Park Hospital to be at the same level as Rush," Elegant said in a nod to the academic medical center.
As the bolstered system looks to expand, it's in talks with other physicians and hospitals to share its expertise and programs. For example, it already offers telestroke services in 11 emergency departments.
It's in building these relationships that Rush might find its next partner.

—A thirty-one year-old woman resolved to live with grace.
We like being right, and we want other people to agree that we are. That's why one of the hardest things to do in life, in marriage, in our families, and in our homes is to resist the urge to flaunt that rightness. To win the argument. To send the other person away with their head hung in shame. We feel like our sentiments deserve the right to be heard, then understood, then agreed with and acted upon. And so we talk, and discuss, and quit listening, and run the other person down. Into the ground. Into submission.
Those on the periphery steer clear, tiptoeing around the edges of the tension, trying their best to evade commotion in a home that's supposed to be their resting place. They feel marginalized and excluded, wondering how this is all going to work out.
All because everyone wants to be right.
But it won't be right. Not until someone is bold enough, confident enough, courageous enough—gracious enough—to kindly, lovingly, carefully acquiesce and say . . .
To finish it. Once and for all. Not because their demands were met or their preferences catered to, but because they prefer peace to madness. They desire restoration above discord. They want a home that feels full, not depleted and empty—a hollow shell that echoes long and hard with the loud racket and chaos of a fiery argument, then turns cold and icy, bristling from the biting sting of silent treatments.
One little "OK" makes the difference.
Truly, it's the wise woman who doesn't always seek to be heard or validated, but who sometimes—in order to protect and preserve relationships, in order to invite peace back into her home—chooses a soft, delicate, gentle response in place of one that's sharp and explosive, harmful and wounding. She is resolved not to tend the fire of quarrelsome conversations, knowing she'll only be covered in its ashes long after the embers have burned out. She sees through the veneer of out-of-control temperaments and off-kilter comments, down to the reality of the circumstance, recognizing that the thing she's making such a big fuss over is likely pretty small and insignificant in the grand scheme. She's not about to lose the battle of her home over a tiny skirmish on a miniscule hill. She doesn't stir the pot of people's emotions just for the satisfaction of watching them cave under the mounting pressure. She is patient. She brings calm to the storm.
And that's what makes her a picture of wisdom. And grace. Not a pushover. Not a doormat. She isn't caving or being run over. Neither is she cocky or arrogant with her "OK" dismissal. There's no air of sarcasm in her comment. No sinister smirk on her face. She's just strong. God has produced enough courage in her to prefer the long-lasting sweetness of deference over the small, fleeting, unsatisfying victory of winning this momentary battle.
Not easily, but purposefully, powerfully, poignantly.
She inhales. Exhales. Forces a gentle sigh and a smile, coming up from somewhere deeper than human strength has the mining rights to dig. Then with two simple letters, and one great big trust in God, she completely recalibrates this whole experience, not only for herself but for everyone involved—those she loves and is resolved to nurture.
And in the end, she wins the greatest victory of all.
Making this resolution a habit in your home will take time and practice. Resolve to use this little word, in this simple way, as much as you can in the next forty-eight hours and record the impact it makes in your relationships.
*Adapted from The Resolution For Women.


We just got back from another fun-filled weekend at the Indiana State Square Dance Convention in French Lick, IN. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put together a great event! We had a great time dancing, visiting the vendors, catching up with old friends and calling! Check out a video and some photos below.
Special thanks to John for sharing this video!

Sewing Seminar with Elisa - Sew Simple Bandana Skirts and More!
A great turnout on Saturday night!
 Our family had a lot to celebrate in the past 6 months!
 Teresa and Andrew both graduated with their Bachelor's Degrees from Indiana University South Bend in December and walked at Commencement in May.
 Then in June, Frank and Elisa celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary!
To celebrate all of our achievements, we threw a party! We were honored to have so many family and friends come out to celebrate with us. And what party would be complete without a square dance? Thanks to Tom Davis for the squares (Teresa and Andrew wanted to dance too!) and Pat Bryant for the rounds. And a special thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate & dance with us! We had a great time!
We tried something new this fall and hosted 2 sets of lessons on Sunday afternoons. We had a new Mainstream class as well as a Plus class for a total of 14 graduates! We are very proud of our new Mainstream and Plus dancers! Thanks to our angels who came out each week to fill our squares and help us out!
We had a fun weekend at the Indiana State Square Dance Convention October 19, 20 and 21, 2012 at the Marriott East in Indianapolis. Nick Hartley was the featured caller for the President's Ball. A special thank you to all the Club Presidents who were honored on Friday evening. We had so much fun calling and dancing. We are looking forward to 2013!
The Michigan State Convention was so much fun! We were so honored to be asked to perform our Honky Tonk Twist Dance for those who attended. We also enjoyed calling for so many enthusiastic dancers! We look forward to next year.

Home Denmark History Ida – The Oldest Complete Primate Skeleton In The World
Ida – The Oldest Complete Primate Skeleton In The World
Ida is the world's oldest complete primate skeleton, and the most valuable object exhibited at The Natural History Museum of Oslo. She was bought by the museum in 2007, and presented to the world in 2009.
Ida fascinates us in several ways.
How old was Ida when she died?
The teeth of fossils can tell us a lot. They can tell us which species the fossilized animal was, whether it was an herbivore or a carnivore, and they can often tell us a good deal about the animal's age.
Mammals have milk teeth – i.e., teeth which fall out (exfoliate) when young animals grow up. The milk teeth are replaced by teeth which should last for life.
Since these permanent teeth are present inside the jaw from birth, we can see them in X-ray images. Below we see what the teeth of a seven-year old human child look like, compared with an X-ray of Ida's teeth. In both, we see some teeth which have other teeth below and behind them. These are milk teeth which will be pushed out. We can also see that both Ida and the child have molars which have not emerged yet.
By comparing Ida with other primates, we can determine that she had reached the age when tooth exfoliation had started.
Where did Ida live?
Ida was found in 1983 in the Messel Pit, a disused oil-shale quarry near the German city of Frankfurt. At the time, the pit was about to become a garbage dump. It was widely known that it contained a great number of unique fossils, and both professionals and amateurs were involved in an intense fossil hunt, endeavouring to unearth the goodies before opportunity was lost.
In 1995 the plans for a garbage dump were finally abandoned, and The Messel Pit was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, the German authorities now faced a new problem: What were they to do about all the fossils which had wound up in private hands?
Privately owned fossils are not available for research. In order to draw conclusions and allow other researchers to validate them, the fossils must be available in public museums for researchers to study. With all these fossils in private hands, there was a risk that valuable knowledge would be lost because the owners feared prosecution for illegal fossil hunting.
German authorities therefore decided to declare a general amnesty for fossils unearthed before 1995. Thus the owner of Ida could now legally sell her, if she or he wished to.
What did the world look like when Ida lived?
50 million years ago, the continents had begun to find their present shape. But we can see that Europe was not one continuous land mass, the way it is today. It was rather a cluster of islands, not unlike today's Indonesia.
The ninth primate fossil – Ida
Adapted excerpts from an article by professor Jens L. Franzen, The Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, in Natur und museum # 1 2010. See also: Who were Ida's relatives?
We were hugely surprised when a complete primate fossil turned up at the mineral and fossil fair in Hamburg in December 2006. The fossil was even surrounded by fossilized soft tissue, preserved all the way to the tips of its hair! Only the fur of the tail was incomplete. Comparisons with the sixth primate find from Messel revealed that these two finds were each other's counterparts.
"Personally, I was made aware of the find through an e-mail from Jørn Hurum, a colleague from The Natural History Museum of The University of Oslo. I received the news about the fossil and got the opportunity to see the pictures on my 70th birthday, and I could not have wished for a better present. It was simply incredible!"
The only complete fossil primate
To begin with, Ida, Darwinius masillae, is the only complete fossil primate of any age that has ever been discovered.
Until now, scientists studying early primate evolution in the Middle Eocene Period have only had fragments of fossils to study.
They are trying to understand how early primates split into the prosimian and anthropoid groups.
Miraculous condition
Now they have a fossil that is not only extraordinarily old, but also preserved in astonishing detail. For a creature of any age, she is in a miraculous condition. Ida is the oldest complete primate skeleton in the world.
Her skeleton is almost 100% complete. Around the skeleton is a shadow of the fur, and among the bones, where the intestines would have been, are the fossilized remains of her last meal.
Studying all these features allows us to reconstruct her life history, the way she moved and her diet. There is no primate fossil from the Eocene from which we can learn so much – in fact, there is no primate so well preserved before human burials.
Evidence for evolution
Charles Darwin first proposed and gathered evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection.
He proposed the idea that species change over time, gradually evolving into new species. But when he published his groundbreaking theory in On the Origin of Species in 1859, there were major gaps in the fossil record.
Just two years later, in 1861, the famous transitional fossil Archaeopteryx was discovered. This beautifully illustrated an intermediate form between dinosaurs and birds, supporting Darwin's ideas.
significance of Ida and where she fits into the story of early primate evolution.
Until January 4 2015, the real Ida has been lent out to the Munch Museum in Oslo for an exhibition called Through Nature.
The Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo is Norway's most comprehensive natural history collection. For almost 200 years, preserved plant specimens, animal specimens, rocks, minerals and fossils have been collected, studied and preserved here.
A selection of specimens are on display for the general public, in the Geological Museum and the Zoological Museum. Both are to be found in the beautiful Botanical Garden. Located at Tøyen in the east of Oslo city centre, the garden is not only popular for recreation, but is a scientific collection in itself.

Pope Francis has said he thinks the Roman Catholic church's ban on priestly ordination for women will continue forever, saying his predecessor Pope John Paul II's declaration on the matter "goes in this direction."Francis expressed his thoughts on the subject in response to a question Tuesday from a journalist aboard the papal flight back to Rome after a two-day visit to Sweden.
The journalist, a Swede, mentioned that among those who welcomed Francis during his visit was Lutheran Archbishop Antje Jackelen of Uppsala. Jackelen is the primate of the Church of Sweden and a woman.
"Is it realistic to think that there might be women priests in the next few decades?" the journalist asked the pope.
"On the ordination of women in the Catholic church, the last word is clear," Francis responded, before mentioning John Paul's 1994 apostolic letter banning the practice, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis. "It was given by St. John Paul II and this remains."
"But really forever?" the journalist asked. "Never?"
"If we read carefully the declaration made by St. John Paul II, it goes in this direction," Francis replied.
"But women can do many other things better than men," the pope continued, before repeating remarks he has said in the past about the Catholic church having two dimensions: a Petrine, apostolic dimension led by the bishops and a Marian dimension, which he called "the feminine dimension of the church."
"People ask me: 'Who is more important in the theology or in the spirituality of the church: the apostles or Mary, on the day of Pentecost?' " he said, adding: "It is Mary!" Emphasizing the point, he continued, "More!"
Francis' remarks about the ban on the priestly ordination of women, given during a 40-minute press conference that also covered several other subjects, do not represent a change in position for the pontiff but appear significant in their finality.
While he has repeated John Paul II's teaching on several other occasions when asked about women's ordination, he has never been pressed on if the teaching could ever change.
Francis was only asked Tuesday about the ordination of women as priests and not as deacons.
The pope recently created a special 12-member commission to study the historic use of women as deacons in the church, at the request of the Rome-based umbrella group of women religious around the world, the International Union of Superiors General.
Other topics covered in Tuesday's press conference included how migrants and refugees should be welcomed when they are settled in new countries, and the continuing secularization of Europe.


I'm finally able to walk again after having surgery on both my feet this past November. Being stuck in the house is no fun at all during the winter months especially when you think it is the best time of year to photograph. So it has been a long winter so far in that I haven't been able to enjoy it until recently. With the recent record breaking snowfalls of over 100 cm in the Ottawa area and yesterday's mild temperatures it made it a great day to head out with a friend to Perth, Ontario otherwise known as the prettiest town in Ontario. Danielle and I made our way there for the day and she graciously allowed me to try out her Mitakon 50mm .95 lens which I used for the in town photographs. Here are some of my favourites from our outing. Hope you enjoy.
Yesterday Mary Anne and I, along with our beloved mutts: Cruise and Saydee went out for a hike to the ruins at Mackenzie King Estates in Gatineau Park. I hadn't been there in quite some time but memories of the times I had been there before came flooding back.
Mary Anne and I made our way to the Willson Carbide Mill in Gatineau Park the other day. Neither of us had ever been there before but we figured we both had our iPhones, GPS and our beloved mutts with us. So despite the bear warnings we set off via Trail number 36. It was a beautiful fall day. The colours just somewhat past their prime and a bit cool but not too cold. At the end of the trail we were rewarded with the Thomas Willson ruins from the late 19th century. Willson (1860-1915) no relation, was a paranoid inventor who learned how to produce Calcium Carbide and set up his own home and mill near Meech Lake around 1911. To make a long story short a fortune was made and lost, he irritated his neighbours by artificially raising and lowering the water of Meech Lake during his experiments and he eventually died of a heart attack in 1915 on a street in New York city while seeking to raise venture capital for his next project.
Anyway, just over 100 years later it has become a popular destination for tourists and photographers. For myself, I found it a great opportunity to put my IBIS Fujifilm XH1 body to the test under trying conditions: bright sunlight, waterfalls, no 10 stop filter etc. For the waterfall images I used ISO 100, F22 and 1/2.5 second handheld. I was quite impressed with the results.
It seems everyone was out on Sunday. The UK High Commission had a float in the Capital Pride Parade and asked me to photograph the event for them. I always love to tell a good story and even better when it serves a good cause. Here are some favourites. Enjoy.
I was recently asked by a former client if I would cover a couple of events the UK High Commission had planned for the Capital Pride festival in Ottawa this past weekend. More specifically they were hosting a Movie Night under the stars at Earnscliffe (the High Commissioner's residence) and would be marching in the Capital Pride parade on Sunday.
The movie Pride is a 2014 British LGBT-related historical comedy-drama film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus. British High Commissioner Susan le Jeune d'Allegeershecque hosted a wonderful evening featuring Welsh Cheese, fruits and of course popcorn! There was an impressive guest list of dignitaries and foreign diplomats all celebrating diversity and the freedom to be who you are and love who you want to love.
Funds raised during the evening went to the Ten Oaks Project which brings together and supports children and youth from LGBTQ+ communities.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the movie night.
— Robert Adams in "Why People Photograph".
A little Canadian pride showing..
As part of my interview for Kai Behrman's Podcast: The Art of Creative Photography, Kai asked me the following questions.
1.) Favorite photograph – by whom and why?
My favourite photo at this moment is A Winter's Night by me. It is a photograph I took one night around 11 pm in mid-November. The ice had just frozen over and people were beginning to walk on it. I was unsure of whether or not I should venture out to capture the scene but I noticed a truck parked on the ice so it couldn't be too bad. I was alone with the exception of a fox that crossed my path. I love the darkness with a glimpse of light streaming through what seems to be an opening in the clouds, the storyline of traces of human life and community in barren and cold conditions. And I especially love the stillness and mystery that it evokes. I currently have it hanging in my living room.
2.) Favourite inspirational quote about photography (or life in general)?
3.) Favorite book – by whom and why?
Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis. I loved this book because it is a story about 15 dogs who received the gift of human consciousness from two gods on a bet. The bet was that dogs would be even more unhappy than humans are if they were given human consciousness. It was my favourite read because I love dogs of course and I like to think about these things i.e. what constitutes a good life and how one should achieve happiness and meaning in life. Also, one of the key canine protagonists Majnoun reminds me of my 10-year-old Golden Doodle named Saydee.
4.) Favorite photographer – why?
Yousef Karsh - As you know, I have already mentioned how much I like the work of Annie Leibowitz however, I thought I should also mention a Canadian master portrait photographer who happens to be from my hometown in Ottawa, Canada. His portrait of Winston Churchill is masterful. I've seen an original print of it in the Speakers Chamber in the House of Commons and it is arresting. He had an uncanny ability to know and connect with his subjects in a way that is congruent with their story. He has photographed some of the great personalities of the 20th century: Queen Elizabeth, Einstein, Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Picasso and others.
5.) One contemporary photographer, you've recently discovered?
David Burdeny… I love his colourful medium format aerial work. He makes gorgeous very large prints.
I love my Peak Design Slide strap. It enables me to switch cameras effortlessly as well as distribute the weight around my shoulders.
The new rendition of Paul Simon's classic: The Sound of Silence by American rock band: Disturbed. He sings it with such passion and the song's lyrics really resonate with me. Actually, it might be a good theme song for my favourite picture.
8.) What's in your camera bag?
I have both the Fujifilm XH1 and XT2, cameras along with several Fujifilm lenses: XF16MM, XF23F2, XF35F2, XF56APD, XF10-24, XF16-55 and the XF50-140. I also have a Fujifilm EF500 flash as well as a Godox V860II Flash.
It is supposed to be spring. I must admit the weather here in Ottawa is leaving a little bit to be desired. It is going up and down like a yo-yo. At the end of February it was positively balmy and now that it is mid April we have been getting snow and freezing rain. In Yellowknife, it is predictably freezing cold for much of the year. But with a good coat and a pair of mukluks, you are pretty well set for venturing outdoors.
Today it was so crappy I could barely take Saydee for a walk. Schools were closed, power lines and tree branches were down and many homes were without power. I literally had to drop my poochie off at the park and waited by - no hung on to the car as the wind was gusting at about 60km hour. I did, however, think it was beautiful. The trees were all glistening with ice as were the roads. A good day for a photo shoot then. So off we went in search of beauty amidst the chaos.
I probably could have used Fuji's new XH1 with in body image stabilization as I wasn't too sure on my feet.

An addiction to prescription drugs is a tough condition to deal with. You need help for a chemical dependency that's turned your life upside down. In addition, you need help with the underlying condition in the form of medication management.
There isn't much conversation going on about helping rehab program participants to deal with their medication needs. However, when you're treating someone who visits a facility because of a prescription drug problem, wouldn't it make sense? If addiction specialists do nothing, there's a high relapse potential. For this reason, proactive medication management is a good strategy.
However, not too many facilities offer it. For starters, it requires the presence of medical professionals who understand the chemical intricacies of the drugs. Secondly, there's a need for program-participant-centered communication. Now isn't the time for printed handouts and glossy brochures.
Medical experts must ensure that each person they work with understands options, alternatives, and contraindications. Facilitating this level of service doesn't have to be difficult. Clinical directors, medical directors, and licensed therapists work together to create channels of communication. Good-quality rehab centers offer medication management assistance as part of their educational programs.
It starts with the intake interview. When you talk to the addiction specialist, the expert will assess you for a dual diagnosis. Doing so allows you to find out if you have a co-occurring mental health disorder. People with these diagnoses have different pharmacological needs than those without.
Next, there's the discussion about your chemical dependency. If it involves a prescription drug, it's vital to find out what condition you're struggling with. Case in point is the opioid user who has a pain management problem. Frequently, it's possible to find alternative means of handling the pain impulses.
Another facet of the medication management plan is the use of prescription medications to assist with rehab. Depending on the drug you're recovering from, you may benefit from pharmacological support. Likewise, if you're using medications for other physiological conditions, it's vital for a therapist to connect with your physician. Doing so prevents problems with substances that don't work well together.
Experts prioritize educating you about medical issues related to the drugs you've used and the medications you need. Doing so empowers you to take on an active role in recovery. As a result, you take ownership of the process, which is an aspect of the 12 step program many participants favor. As you can see, managing medications is a treatment that's an integral part of healing.

Home Arts & Culture October brings winds
October brings winds
Liam Edmunds
Last Sunday Oct 2 in Biemesderfer Concert Hall, the Millersville Wind Ensemble had the opportunity to play alongside The Ringgold Band at the October Winds event, setting the stage for a new semester of orchestra at Millersville University. The concert began at 2:30 p.m. and sold over 100 tickets.
Millersville's ensemble performed nine songs independently from "Fantasies on a Theme" by Haydn to folk songs like "El Burro," "All the Pretty Little Horses," "Mrs. McGrath," and "October." Soloist Prof. Kristin Sims sang soprano over the orchestra.
The performance of "October" by Eric Whitaker earned a heavy applause.
"It's so full sounding [and emotional]," Bridgette Horning said, a dual education and performance major. Horning played the Alto Saxophone during the show.
The Ringgold Band took the stage after intermission. Hailing from Berks County, the band originally formed in 1852 and its current members continue the group's tradition of providing musical entertainment throughout southern Pennsylvania.
"It's very cool playing in [the VPac] knowing that the Ringgold Band with all their history [was] coming on after us," Connor Buckley said, a music education major and trumpeter.
The Ringgold Band is famous for their marches and covers of John Philip Sousa's music. Colby Burke, a music education major, came out for the event to hear the band play these classic numbers.
"[It's] very unique. You can distinguish [Sousa's music] from other composers," Burke said.
The band played "Mingling of The Wets and Drys," "The Stars and Stripes Forever," as well as another untitled march by the same composer. Ringgold's director, James Seidel kept to the band's tradition of closing the evening with "The Stars and Stripes Forever," which they performed alongside the Wind's Ensemble.
Assistant Director of the Ringgold Band, Tom Shade, 64, played the french horn. His favorite piece was "Ringgold Rhapsody" by Henry Gass, who wrote the song in 1967 specifically for The Ringgold Band. The song was inspired by local German folk melodies from Pennsylvania.
"It's a very thoughtful piece," Shade said.


Picture yourself at a party.
There's the hostess, with a smiling bright face, leading you to a cart brimming with luscious cool drinks and adult beverages for you. Picture a big lucite ice bucket with silver tongs. Lemonade in a big pitcher. Then look down at the cart.
Yuck. You suddenly lost your desire to partake of anything on that cart.
But wait! You whip out your mitre saw and your paint and your glass cutter, and, in no time at all, you have this!
Ha! I wish I could have waved a magic wand and mirrored all those panels in an instant.
Cutting mirror, I discovered, is not as easy as it looks! It takes a lot of cutting to get just the right size panels. You think you've measured, but your hand moves, just a bit. Ooops. Start over.
And what's with that fake-slate formica under those hinged top panels? Can't keep that. Rip those off. Take more time. Need to build a new top--mitre the wood, with ledges and gallery rails. More time. Oh, and paint it aqua! Yes! Many coats for perfection. Done!
Longest running project ever, but it turned out so pretty. Put an ice bucket on it now! Better yet, a glass of wine will do nicely.
I am always happy to read your comments. I generally respond by email, because who keeps track of where they left comments to come back to see any reply?! I'm on facebook, of course, with daily adventures. This piece is in my Etsy shop. Thanks for reading! If you never want to miss a post, put your email in the box at the top right.

Q: Throw commands inside invoked terminal in bash script I want to make a script for a workspace configuration, and i need it to open a ssh terminal, and inside it i need to throw a "bash" command (because default is tcsh) and over bash, throw another commands, and i want the terminal to stay in the last state.
I have this in the script:
...
cd xxx/xxx
bash
source setup.sh
...
exit 0

and when the script is over, my terminal stays in bash, but didn't executed the next steps.
How can i do this? anyone have and idea? Thanks in advanced.

Now i'm doing this:
ssh -X URL << '___'
   cd xxx/xxx
   bash -c "source setup.sh"
___

If i launch the bash -c only, inside the ssh URL, it works, but if i do it complete, it ends the execution and drops me outside the ssh URL. If i do bash -i at the end it says "bash: no job control in this shell" and dumps me out. the -exec option does the same.
Anybody sees what i'm doing wrong?

A: You can pass an arbitrarily complex script to bash on standard input.
bash <<'____'
    source setup.sh
    : things
    # no explicit exit really needed
____

A: What I would do is put the commands that would be between your bash line and the exit 0 into a separate file e.g. mycommands.sh
#!/bin/bash
source setup.sh
...
exit 0

chmod +x mycommands.sh

and then invode
    mycommands.sh
at the point where you write bash
But you could also
bash -c "source setup.sh;    ... ;   exit 0"

A: Put "#!/bin/bash" on the header of "setup.sh".
This will make that script run under a Bash shell.

MCPHS University Launches Online Mental Health Nursing Program
The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS University), a NEC member, has launched a new psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program that is taught entirely online.
Currently in its inaugural year, the program allows students to earn a master's degree in mental health nursing without being at one of the school's campuses. MCPHS University recognizes the severe lack of mental health nurse practitioners and the important role they play in mental healthcare. Demand for these nurses has risen in recent years in light of the opioid epidemic.
"We feel that having more mental health providers in the primary care settings, that's sometimes the best place to discover there's an issue," said Carol Eliadi, dean of graduate nursing studies. "We're hoping that our infusing the community with more nurse practitioners trained in psychiatric issues can help the access issue."
The online nature of the program will improve access to nursing education for students in rural areas that often are in greater need of mental healthcare.
Edith Carlos, who coordinates the program, said, "It's opened up so many opportunities to rural communities. The rural areas have high rates of mental health disorders and less resources."
The New England Council is pleased to see MCPHS University continue to adapt and educate the next generation of healthcare providers.

Steve Ijames sworn in as Ozark interim police chief(Photo: Giacomo Bologna/News-Leader)Buy Photo
The city of Ozark swore in Steve Ijames as interim chief of police Wednesday afternoon in a terse ceremony at city hall. Former Chief Lyle Hodges – who had been chief since 1999 – resigned in June following the public release of a probe that investigated claims of misconduct, favoritism, and misreporting hours worked within his department.
Ijames worked in the Springfield Police Department for more than 25 years, and was recently the interim chief of police in Republic and said he's consulted internationally on policing. In fact, Ijames said he'd been working in Northern Ireland directly before coming to Ozark.
In a brief introduction, Ozark Administrator Steve Childers said he was "extremely excited" for Ijames to be the interim chief. Ijames, standing in the middle of the Board of Aldermen's meeting room, raised his right hand and was sworn in.
Ijames said his first task is to assess where the police department is at. He said has read the recently released report that looked into the Ozark Police Department, but he hasn't spoken to any officers yet. Furthermore, he has no plans as of yet to make personnel changes.
"I don't have any assumptions," he said, but also noted that he will "learn very quickly."
There's not a set timetable on how long he'll be interim chief, Ijames said, but he said the city will take the necessary time to find its next police chief.
"They're not going to settle," he said.
Ijames said he wants feedback from the city of Ozark and its residents. He said he would like to send a letter out to all Ozark residents, noting that he did that in Republic and it was met with positive responses from the community.
In a previous interview with the News-Leader, Republic Administrator Jim Krischke spoke highly of Ijames' stint as his city's interim sheriff. Ijames served as interim chief from January until May.
"He was absolutely the perfect fit," Krischke said, praising Ijames's experience and knowledge.
Ijames said he will also be reviewing one of the reports looking into the Christian County Sheriff's Department, although he is not being paid or contracted to work for the county. Interim Sheriff Dwight McNiel had said that three reports
While Ijames confirmed that Ron Hartman will be producing the report, Ijames said he'll only be reviewing it once it's put together. Ijames said he Hartman worked together at the Springfield Police Department for about 25 years and have worked together internationally as well.

FIN500 Mod03 P3b Time value of money calculations using the TI BAII Plus calculator - part 2
Language: Auto Selection English
Embed transcript in: Auto Selection English
Now the only other thing that we need to do to - well two more things - the present value of mixed streams. Say you have (uh) cash flows of $100 dollars the first year, $200 the next two years, and $400 the 3rd year [should be 4th year]. We're going to place those and we have an investment that will earn a required rate of return of 10% - and we want to know the present value of those. Now for mixed streams, present value of mixed streams we do not use the 5 time value of money button; we use a button above the interest rate button the CF or cash flow button. So we hit CF and that shows CF0. So what, how much do we have now to put in the account? Or how much are we going to pay? We will use this later on when we calculate NPV and IRR but for projects, but we're not going to use it right now, so we will leave it 0 (zero). And the buttons we're going to use, we're going to use the enter and the down arrow to enter in our numbers. The BAII Plus works similarly to a spreadsheet and that as you put in the numbers in the cells you can toggle back and see what you've entered. So our first cash flow, we said, was $100 dollars so we had a 100 and then enter, and then the down button. Now F01 means frequency, the first how many times does the cash flow occur in a row? On this example we had a 100 the first year, two hundred dollars for years 2&3, and four hundred dollars for year four. So the hundred dollars only happens once so we just leave that at 1. Arrow down to cash flow 2 or CO2. Now again this one there was $200 dollars so we're going to have $200 dollars, for years 2&3 so hit 200, enter, hit the down arrow, and then frequency since that 200 happens two years in a row we hit 2 enter. And so that takes care of cash flows for years 2&3. Then we hit down arrow again, and enter our last cash flow of 400 enter - and there we've got all our cash flows. We can toggle back up by hitting the up arrow, to see we don't have anything in the first one (again we will leave that 0 until we get to a later chapter) $100 dollars for the next cash flow and that happens once. $200 dollars for the next cash flow and that happens twice, and then $400 dollars for the last cash flow; and that happens once. And if you keep going down you'll see the other cash flows are zero. Now to calculate the present value, we're going to use the NPV button; meaning net present value. You hit NPV and it says I equals - that the interest rate that is used to compound these cash flows - or discount these cash flows. So we'll say that was 10%; so 10 enter, and then we hit the down arrow and it says NPV equals. And then we hit compute and it says the present value of that stream of cash flows is 67967. Now to calculate the future value of a mixed stream you have to do it one at a time. Alright so I will not display that now, it's just basically if we had that $100 dollars, $200 dollars for two years, and 400 we'd have to calculate each one individually to some time point in the future, and then add them up. The only other thing I need to show you is say if we're doing a semi-annual compound, or quarterly compound - in that case, instead of changing the periods per year I would suggest just changing the number of periods in the interest rate. So we've got a $100 dollars we're going to put in for two years at 10% interest, then we're going to - but it's compound it's semi-annually - we're going to increase or up the number periods by two and divide the interest rate by 2. Right so instead of - so it's in there for two years instead of 2 we're going to put 4 because it's semi-annual compounding. So I put 4 in, the interest rate was 10% annually, and note that interest rates are always quoted in annual rates, but since it's semi-annual compounding we're going to take 10% divided by 2 or 5% would be our interest rate. 100 as a present value, again we have 0 payment, and then we're going to compute future value to get an answer of 12155. Now just a couple more things to show you on when you're on the cash flow button, for the cash mixed stream present value, for example, in order to get rid of what you have entered in there, you have to hit the second clear button - which says clear work - while you're in the cash flow. So first you have to hit cash flow, second clear work, and then after you do that you can see that everything is back to zero. One more thing with compounding that I almost forgot to mention was continuous compounding. Say for example we're putting money in an account that compounds continuously, which is every microsecond. What we have to do instead of using the time value of money buttons, we have to use a button, LN, which actually second LN, see above that is E to the x, E is the base of the natural logarithm. And so in order to do continuous compounding say we're $100 dollars in an account for 2 years continuously compounded at 7%. The first you have to do is convert the 7% to a decimal, so you take .07 multiply it by the number of years, in this case 2. So times 2 equals .14. And then you hit 2nd and then E to the x and it gives 1.1503. That is your future value interest factor that you then multiply - so times the deposit a $100 dollars so you can see your money - your $100 dollars - has grown in 2 years at 7% compounded continuously has grown to 115.03 rounding. Now say if you just wanted an effective rate - an effective rate at continually compounding, say 7% that's the nominal rate, what's the effective rate if you compound continuously? Just hit .07 2nd E to the x, and it gives you 1.0725. So we subtract 1, so the effective rate is 7.25% (.0725) So continuously compounded, that's what the effective rate would be.
