The Importance of Dance for Health
~~www.musicalmoving.com~~
This month, I wrote a piece that was featured in the IADMS (International Association for Dance Medicine & Science) newsletter which I wanted to share. It has caused a bit of a stir among members who are opposed to my suggestions, however I feel confident and passionate that a change is a comin' and it's up to us, members of the IADMS community, to lead the way. Confident enough to share this with a wider audience.
For those who are unaware, IADMS is an international association composed of dance artists, researchers, educators, physicians, therapists, company directors and dance enthusiasts! I've been fortunate enough to serve on the student committee for the past year and have become deeply involved in the fantastic work IADMS does.
Dance science is a vast field that encompasses a wide number of aims. Because of this, IADMS is a multi-disciplinary organization which I believe is one of its greatest strengths. Although the most common aim of dance science is to optimize the health and wellbeing of dancers, a collection of therapists and researchers are interested in how dance, as an intrinsically healing tool, can be used with other populations. Until now, IADMS has tiptoed around this topic not wanting to step on the toes of dance therapy organizations.
Much of my interest and experience in the health and fitness field comes from working with people of all different abilities including children, elderly and people with Parkinson's. I decided to follow this pathway for my Masters degree thesis and investigated a dance imagery programme for people with Parkinson's. But we'll save that for another day!
I did however, present my work at the IADMS Annual Meeting in Seattle last year. Here were my thoughts...
To the IADMS community...
This was my first year attending an IADMS Annual Meeting, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Being surrounded by so many passionate people left me feeling inspired and optimistic about the future of dance science. I had the pleasure of presenting my research, which was an investigation into the effects of a dance imagery program for people with Parkinson's. There were three presentations on topics related to Parkinson's, indicating that dance for health research is certainly growing.
When submitting my proposal, I was asked to address how my presentation related to the mission of IADMS - that of enhancing the health, well-being, training, and performance of dancers by cultivating educational, medical, and scientific excellence.
After re-reading this statement, I feared that my research might fall-short given that it focused on dance as an intrinsically therapeutic tool with 'other' populations. Not traditional dancers. To my delight, the selection panel accepted my abstract, however this got me thinking that perhaps it is time for our mission to more clearly acknowledge dance for health research.
~~www.musicalmoving.org~~
Fantastic work is being undertaken in this area and most certainly evolving at a fast pace. I would like to propose that IADMS' mission more fully embraces dance for health research in its mandate. Expanding our mission would help us bridge connections with those doing innovative work in this field; it could increase funding by addressing health based government initiatives and increase awareness about IADMS - resulting in attracting more members!
By embracing dance for health research, IADMS will encourage us to consider how we define the "dancer"? Is an elderly man in his third year of dance classes just as much a dancer as a child in her first ballet class? Is the woman just diagnosed with Parkinson's, who has rediscovered her love of movement—as opposed to her fear of loss of movement—not a dancer? Why exclude innovative scientists and practitioners who have tapped into the healing power of dance?
For those who are challenged by this idea or feel that IADMS is crossing boundaries with dance therapy, I urge you to recall that 23 years ago IADMS was in its infancy and dance psychology research appeared irrelevant. We now fully appreciate the importance of keeping our dancers both physically and psychologically healthy, and indeed at the 23rd Annual Meeting in Seattle, we witnessed numerous presentations addressing dance psychology topics. I believe the multidisciplinary nature of IADMS is one of our greatest strengths and what sets us apart from other organizations.
In her opening remarks this year, Past President Emma Redding proposed that dance science may no longer be considered a "new and emerging" field of dance research and might even be
considered a distinguished field. We have established ourselves as members of the scientific community and are now able to push boundaries, take risks, and expand our goals.
I believe it is time for us to be more confident of what our mission stands for so that it encompasses more clearly dance for health for a wider group of dancers. Bold steps are the result of confidence and maturity. I can only imagine where the future of dance science will go.

Flintshire's Banksy pays homage to forgotten heroes on ship
RANDOM answered call to add his artwork to the Duke of Lancaster
Gary Porter
RANDOM, AKA The Flintshire Banksy has answered the call to arms and joined The DuDug Crew creating a striking image on the side of The Duke of Lancaster, entitled "Point of Ayr"
ARTWORK paying homage to the "lost and forgotten" heroes of Flintshire has been painted on the side of an iconic ship.
The image on the The Duke of Lancaster, docked near Mostyn, shows a miner and is said to "lament the loss of all large scale employers in the area".
It comes after "RANDOM" – also known as the Flintshire Banksy – answered the call to arms and joined The DuDug Crew to create the image entitled Point of Ayr.
Leaving his mark on the beached cruise liner, the artist's piece pays tribute to the working class legends of the area and joins a number of similar pieces around Flintshire including "The Courtaulds Girls", "The Steelworker" and "The Fisherman".
Coordinated by project director, Maurice Blunt, who heads up Dudug, the eventual aim is to transform the ship into the UK's biggest open air art gallery.
He said: "DuDug has followed the work of RANDOM for some time now and we love the way he captures the history of this area in his images and the air of mystery which surrounds his work.
RANDOM vs Black Duke
"We were delighted when RANDOM answered our call and over the past two months he has worked on a number of stencils to bring his piece to life and we are delighted to unveil the latest artwork."
RANDOM said his piece was inspired by the decline of the working man and woman in our society.
"It is I believe a history which has been marginalised over time...take for example the parks and shopping centres now built over the closed pitheads and factories.
"This is why I choose to paint pictures which remind the viewer of the people whose sweat and labour built the country in which we now live."

When you've managed to stay super busy for some months and people around you need your help, family needs you, you travel, learn a language, plan and dream – it can all be hugely rewarding. Probably almost enough to fill another void.
But I've discovered that it's like forcing a round peg into a square hole. The pole goes in and fits snuggly, but there are gaps.
You can ignore the gaps most of the time, but occasionally they take on a frightful appearance – probably fuelled by hormones and exhaustion. The gaps become wide, impassable chasms … quiet, dark, childless abysses.
You do what you have to do. You nyamazela on.
Then a very wise, elderly friend of mine cornered me last night. Old people have no filters, you might say!
"How are you doing about the pregnancy thing?" she asked me.
Filter or no filter, I can always rely on this particular friend to ask the difficult questions. I'm not afraid of the questions, but I don't know the answers. And the questions just lead to more questions and fewer answers.
Still, I love that she asked. This is still very much a taboo topic and people are just scared to go there.
I, myself have been too scared to go there until recently.
It's easier to talk openly now, because I've finally come out of what I can only describe as a huge dark cloud that has cast a shadow on every aspect of my life since. When the cloud lifted and the light began to shine again about 6 weeks ago, only then, when I'd stepped away from the cloud and could look at myself with some perspective, did I realise that I'd been in a state of profound disappointment, almost like mourning, for over a year. There were times I even wondered if I was depressed. I wondered if I should get counselling or see my doctor. I couldn't even admit this to Hubby until very recently.
Am I busier because I'm compensating for not being a mother and all the responsibilities that come with that? Maybe it's just a busy season in our lives?
Whatever it is, busyness has helped me.
The thing is that I really did believe I'd been given the promise of a child by God and I don't doubt God. But what does one do with that kind of disappointment? You cannot just lock it away and hope that it disappears. I think that when you're able to, you need to look at that lost hope closely, stare it in the face, mourn it, get angry, wrestle with it and then lay it down. I believe it gets easier in time.
I'm learning that being Nyamazela doesn't mean that I have to always be tough. I just need to pick myself up and start over again, count my blessings and learn what I can along the way.
Onwards and upwards to my next adventure!
P.s. I was really nervous to interview a big star, but my editor said that PJ Powers is "a truly beautiful human being", so I relaxed a bit… my editor was right! There were PJ and me, hanging out in Brixton taking selfies – as one does!
P.p.s. Don't you just love that line, 'as one does'!
P.p.p.s. For those of you who have been waiting for news from Hull, my new little baby niece arrived today at the Royal Infirmary at 7:13am … Mummy and baby are already home. I can't wait to meet her in 9 days time. Super proud aunty here!
P.p.p.p.s. Hubby asked me on the morning before I was to interview PJ Powers if I was nervous to interview "P.G. Tips"… he now claims it was an intentional joke.
P.p.p.p.p.s. P.G Tips is a brand of tea in England. Needless to say, when I told the joke to PJ Powers, she couldn't see the comedy. Eek! Note to self: culturally-specific jokes don't work!
P.p.p.p.p.p.s. I broke my rule about only quoting from books I've read – the quote above is from the one and only Dolly Parton – I couldn't help it – it is the only quote that worked for me.
A really well written account of your recent experiences.You are really a strong character and you will get stronger despite all the setbacks.You have plenty of support around you with family and friends.Life is full of surprises aunty.
Smiler, you'd appreciate PJ Powers, she co-wrote the song 'World in Union' with Ladysmith Black Mambaso for the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa.
Wow that is great information.I have heard the song so many times and never realised who composed it.A strong song for any event.You are so so lucky meeting all these celebrities.Keep strong.
Thank you for daring to look into those gaps; it's giving me the courage to look at my own.
I'm pretty sure either/both of the Famous Five and the Five Find-Outers said "You're a brick" too!
I like your comments Aoife.Nyamazela certainly has great support around her.Best wishes at looking at your challenges.Life is good.
What a beautiful, raw, open and vulnerable blog!! So proud of you!! It gave me just a little bit of insight into your world this past year and encouraged me in knowing we all are dealing with stuff. I enjoy all your blogs, but a blog like this is always my favourite. I do so love relationship and walking a journey with people. Even if I read something by someone I don't know I feel a connection. So your blog from someone I care about the connection feels sooo close!!

Q: Create an instance of custom button dynamically in Swift I've created a custom button class as follows.
import UIKit

class LogButtonView: UIButton {

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        self.frame = CGRectMake(200, 200, 100, 100)

        self.layer.cornerRadius = 50
        self.layer.borderWidth = 1
        self.layer.borderColor = self.tintColor.CGColor
    }

}

And I know how to use it in story board.
But how can I create an instance of it dynamically in ViewController.swift and add it to containerView?
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet var containerView: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let logBtn = LogButtonView() // Missing argument for parameter 'coder' in call
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}

And if possible, I want all LogButtonView instances to be of the same size, so I set self.frame = CGRectMake(200, 200, 100, 100). But the instances in story board seem to be of the size I dragged them to be.

A: To create views in code, dont't use init(coder:), use init(frame:) instead. And don't forget to add it in view hierarchy after creating
class LogButtonView: UIButton {
    init() {
        super.init(frame: CGRectMake(200, 200, 100, 100))
        //other stuff
    }
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

//viewDidLoad:
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let logBtn = LogButtonView()
    self.view.addSubview(logBtn)
}

but I don't think you want to set frame in init of view, because it means that every LogButtonView will be in the same position. Much better approach would be:
class LogButtonView: UIButton {
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        //other stuff
    }
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

//viewDidLoad:
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let logBtn = LogButtonView(frame: CGRectMake(200, 200, 100, 100))
    self.view.addSubview(logBtn)
}

The Real Impact of Kobe Bryant's Academy Award
Eric A Barreras, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, US Coast Guard District Eleven
EVAWI, Advisory Board Member
Last week we watched as Kobe Bryant received an Academy Award for the film "Dear Basketball." As many of us remember, in July of 2003, Mr. Bryant was arrested in connection with the rape of a 19-year old woman who worked in a hotel where he was staying. As a retired detective specializing in sexual assault investigations, a former criminal defense investigator, and a current advocate for survivors of sexual assault, my heart goes out to this survivor and the countless others who have been impacted emotionally by Mr. Bryant's recent accomplishment.
Mr. Bryant initially lied to investigators and denied engaging in any sexual activities with the victim. Upon further questioning, Mr. Bryant admitted to engaging in sexual activities with her but claimed they were consensual. The case was dropped after the victim refused to participate further, even though there was evidence to substantiate the victim's report (bloody clothing, bruising around the victim's neck area, forensic evidence that supported sexual acts occurred, and testimony from a hotel employee who witnessed the victim leaving the hotel emotionally distraught). The victim had received several death threats from Kobe Bryant supporters who were incapable of seeing him as a rapist. The victim later filed a civil suit, which was settled out of court and included Mr. Bryant's public apology to the victim.
About one year following the victim's report, Mr. Bryant signed a seven-year, $136 million contract, and regained several of his major endorsements. He was also named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008 and the Finals' Most Valuable Player in 2009 and 2010. We can now add Academy Award Winner to his list of accomplishments.
This survivor had to sit idly by as the world chanted Bryant's name in the arena for twelve years following her sexual assault. I can only imagine the pain she must have felt when her assaulter was hoisted up on an even bigger platform and applauded by the public after winning an Academy Award. He was never proven innocent, he merely benefited from the victim's inability to continue with the trial. This is something very few people understand. I believed her then, I believe her now, and I will continue to believe her moving forward, despite the overwhelming lack of support she has received over the years. If more criminal justice professionals would just Start by Believing, perhaps victims wouldn't be so afraid to participate in the investigative process. And maybe—just maybe—more offenders will face justice.

RK's acquisition efforts are targeted in areas where economic and demographic trends are favorable for apartment properties.
Over the next several years renter demand will be boosted by favorable demographics, immigration, the return of jobs and low single-family home affordability. Therefore, the gradual ascent of interest rates should be offset by improving fundamentals. In addition to favorable demand, apartment ownership will benefit from slow construction in target markets like ours.
It is our philosophy to institute a conservative business plan in the structuring of our properties. That is why we use modest leverage of 50-60% and coupled with minimum debt coverage ratios (DCR) of no less than 150%. This enables us to meet the specific priorities of our investors which are; 1) Preservation of Capital 2) Income 3) Appreciation.
With favorable demographics and economics, our well-located, quality apartments have the potential for success.
We believe real economic profit and preservation of capital are the primary reasons for investing in real estate. This has been our philosophy since our founding and will continue to be our principal investment objective.
The skills and experience of our professionals have combined to produce a consistent, successful record of performance in apartment investing. Since 1976, RK has sponsored over 100 investment programs valued in excess of $450 million. More than 65 of the programs have gone full cycle. The returns demonstrate consistent management performance - a matter of pride for the company. RK is proud that a majority of investors have multiple investments with us and reinvest in our program when properties are sold.
Although RK has a proven track record in providing the potential for a substantial return on your investment, prior performance is just one factor to be considered when making an investment, and investors should recognize that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
RK Properties ("RK") has been providing private equity opportunity funds since 1976. Each fund is designed with a unique structure through Limited Liability Companies (LLC's) which provide a diversified portfolio of value-add real estate. The funds are designed to allow investors the opportunity for ownership of institutional investment grade apartments acquired through a disciplined approach to underwriting and investing. RK's acquisition team has been and will be acquiring acquisitions properties through their pre-existing relationships, off-market transactions and/or owners familiar with RK or the industry. In addition properties are acquired due to the correction and now expansion of the real estate market. The target acquisitions include value-add, distressed multi-family units which may be purchased at a discount to replacement cost positive cash flow, and potential for appreciation.
RK has also been providing an alternative approach to direct ownership in real estate through the Tenant-in-Common (TIC) structure. As real estate investors reach pre or post-retirement, there is a need for a unique structure to relieve the real estate owner of the day-to-day intensive management in order to continue with their career, business, or enjoy retirement. The TIC structure provides that opportunity. It allows investment property owners the ability to sell the management intensive real estate and exchange into an institutional investment grade apartment building thereby deferring their capital gains tax. The TIC can also provide the investor with net cash flow paid monthly the pass-through of all tax benefits to offset the net cash flow, and the potential of capital appreciation from the value-add opportunities in the real estate.
In 2006 the IRS approved a new and less complicated way for investors to complete a 1031 Exchange into a securitized investment. The DST structure is a much easier process with the same tax deferral benefits. There is substantially less paperwork and registering and no lender approval for each individual which can slow the process of completing the exchange by 30 to 45 days. Further the DST structure is much more broadly accepted by lenders including the 'agencies' or 'Freddie' and 'Fannie', which makes financing easier and more readily available. And of course the DST structure allows the same benefits at the individual level of exchanging after the life of the investment with us, on your own or someone else.


The script specifies all the fields (columns). It's not required to specify all the fields. If some fields are not included then those fields will be empty in the database collection.
Creating a new record is also simple. Next, we are going to show a script which updates an existing record.
The extra parameter in the update operation is the object ID.
The response from an update operation is the timestamp of the update.
The delete operation doesn't return any response besides a 200 HTTP response code.
Why Use Server Code to Access the Database?
You might be wondering why not access the database directly using its REST API instead of using Server Code. We recommend using Server Code to access the database because most apps will require additional logic around database access. For example, if you need to sort or filter the data before displaying in the app, it's best to do it on the server. You might want to validate data before saving it into the database. Also, you might want to run additional logic before or after the operation. For example, you can invoke an external REST API or send an email or send an SMS message or a Push Notification. All this easily done using Server Code but would be a lot more challenging if the app accessed the database directly.
Performing the basic database operations is simple using the Server Code. To make development faster, we recommend using the Snippets panel to quickly insert most commonly used code into the script. The examples in this blog post were created entirely using the Snippets.

MISSION'S STORIES
Publishing God's stories among the nations.
Promoting Peace Through Intentional Love
By Tyler Tom on 18 Apr 2018
Topics: YWAM DTS Value Love Education Peace
Recently, I was able to participate with an organization called YWAM, which stands for Youth With a Mission. For the first three months during class time, I learned about the character of God and how to have a deeper relationship with Him. We were discipled, so we could go out and disciple others as well, applying all the things we learned to the cities that we were traveling to.
While on the road for two months during outreach, spreading peace to all around me has been my focus. Mission work allows me to have a lifestyle of serving others in an incredible unconditional way that I've never experienced before.
Seeing diversity in people and knowing how to bring unity and peace to a community that needs it is the most fulfilling thing in this world. Often I find that the easiest way to connect different people, races, ages, and gender is to create a safe space of vulnerability, a place where no one is judged.
Trust creates peace. Fear destroys it.
Whether I'm in a worship service in a small town of Missouri, or I'm on the streets of downtown Chicago, I'm constantly, openly pouring out God's agape love.
I've worked a lot with schools and the education system, and I've been a witness to real chaos. There is a lot of misunderstanding between teacher and student, as well as between student and student.
The words we use hold so much power, and often we don't see that truth or consider what we're saying or how we're saying it.
I don't believe you have to tear someone down to build them up.
Positive redirection can be used for a child in the education system. I've seen a lot of negative and reactive words thrown at students in an environment that should be peaceful and positively reinforced. I've done my best to get into these chaotic places and plant seeds of value there, reminding as many people as I can that each person, their co worker or their student, holds infinite value. None are better or worse than the other. If we can understand what that means, we can live our lives in a way that promotes peace on a daily basis by using encouraging uplifting words and then following them up with intentional actions of love.
I've worked with homeless men, women, and children, and I've see the pain in their hearts. I've seen the poverty in one home when three houses over, there is privilege. I've seen the desperation for hope, for something to love, for something to live for, and for peace in all these places.
Anger, darkness, and fear can be replaced with peace, love, and light.
It starts with you, with me, with us.
It takes one person to change someone else's whole world! It's simple and lovely. It's unselfish. There's a whole world full of people you can spread peace to.
It starts with the little things; it starts with you.
Guest Author ~ Madelyn Johnson, who recently completed her DTS at YWAM Tyler.

Dr. George Crabtree, Dr. Elizabeth A. Kócs, and Bryan Tillman hosted a 'Future of Mobility' workshop.
George Crabtree is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and also directs the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research in coordination with Argonne National Laboratory in order to up UIC's capabilities in research in education.
Imagine a world where storage plays a much larger role in advancing the coming energy transitions in vehicles and the grid. We would have specialized batteries for our own electric vehicles, for short-hauling people and goods, and for long-haul freight. The grid would have storage for renewable integration, managing system-wide demand, and delivering customized electricity service. Batteries for electric flight would power Uber air taxis, deliver packages, and enable short-haul commercial flight. To accomplish this vision, we will need a diversity of batteries for a diversity of uses.
JCESR pursues this vision by delivering transformative materials for batteries – including cathodes, anodes, electrolytes and interfaces – each modified with intentional defects and disorder to enhance performance.


Reading, it's one of my great joys. I have always loved historical fiction, and most of what I read is set back in the 1800s. When I was offered to review Like a River from Its Course, I was glad to have the opportunity. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I knew that it would cover a hard topic. What I wasn't aware of was how hard I was going to experience this.
Now, I say "hard" because the author has captured the essence of the war time. This book isn't something you just gloss over or read lightly. You make an investment when you start reading this novel.
We're introduced to 4 main characters in 1941. The book actually starts on my oldest son's birthday. We then follow Maria, Ivan, Frederick, and Luda over the next several years. I was surprised at how much the characters became real to me. You know, reading this book, that this is how many people lived their lives, either in fear or with twisted determination. What also surprised me is paralleling this book with things that are happening in our world today. It even scares me more than a little.
Kelli writes each character with a realness that you might expect in a documentary. Maria, a young girl whose family's world is turned upside down. Ivan, her father, and the horrors he sees and lives through. Frederick, the Nazi who has searched for his father's acceptance, all of his life. Luda, the one who tugs at my heart the most, the girl who's been broken from the start.
I know this might sound like a heavy review, and I admit, it is, but this is such an excellent book, the hope that honestly lies throughout the entire story, makes the weight of it worth the read. You will be gripped by their lives just as I was. Now, read on to find out more about the novel, and how you have the chance to win a great prize package!

Q: Php date issue clashing with this year & next year I get this outcome when I do the week of each year
week of45 date:2017-11-06
week of46 date:2017-11-13
week of47 date:2017-11-20
week of48 date:2017-11-27
week of49 date:2017-12-04
week of50 date:2017-12-11
week of51 date:2017-12-18
week of52 date:2017-12-25
week of1 date:1969-12-31
week of2 date:1969-12-31
week of3 date:1969-12-31
week of4 date:1969-12-31
week of5 date:1969-12-31

As you can see when it starts from 1 again, the date gets messed up,
here is the code:
for($i=0;$i< 13;$i++) {
    $weekNumnew = $weekNum + $i;
    $week_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("$thisYear-W$weekNumnew-1"));
    if($weekNumnew > '52'){
        $weekNumnew = $weekNumnew - 52;
        $week_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("$nextyear-W$weekNumnew-1"));
    }
    echo "week of" . $weekNumnew . " date:" .$week_date . "<br>";
}

$weekNumnew starts from 45 it increase each week depending on the week of year date. Also $thisYear = '2017' & $nextyear = '2018'
Is there a way I can fix this? I thought it would be fixed when I added next year but it did not work, can anyone help?

A: You can use a combination of DateInterval and DatePeriod to generate these data for you:
<?php

$start = new DateTime('now');
$end = new DateTime('+3 years');

$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 week');
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);

foreach ($period as $week) {
  $monday = $week->modify('monday this week');
  printf("Week %d. Date: %s \n", $monday->format('W'), $monday->format('Y-m-d'));
}

Q: Fullcalendar js - month value How to fetch the month value from fullcalendar.js so that I can use it in my backend code.
I am using this fullcalendar http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/

A: Well it depends if you are trying to get the month value on start up or the month value of the current page of the calendar.  I'll explain both.  But if it's the month value on startup then you should look at the first comment below your question. The docs aren't super specific on how you implement that though (they have no examples) so I'll explain that one. Basically when you initialize full calendar you can put in options. In the docs all the links with grey circles to the left of them are options. The property of the JavaScript object that you use for the option is the name they use for the links in this case month.  The value's needed data type can be found by clicking on the link in this case it's an integer. (found here) So the following would work when initializing the calendar with options.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
    month: 0,
    events: '/myfeed.php'
})

So the month the calendar starts at in this case would be January because it's a zero based index of the months (1 would be February, 2 = March, etc...)
The thing is if you don't define it on start up then it will default to the current month which you could get by creating a new date object and using the getMonth method of that date object, or you could just do the built in getDate function which will get the date of the current page your on on the calendar, but I'll explain that one later. So here is the date object method for just getting the current month.
var date = new Date();
var month = date.getMonth();

Month again will be a zero based index of the months (0 being January, etc...)
If you are trying to get month that you are currently paged on use the getDate function.
var d = $('#calendar').fullCalendar('getDate');
var month = d.getMonth()

Make sure that where #calendar is you put in the selector you used to initialize full calendar.
The variable month will yet again come out to be a zero based index of the months so 0 is January, 1 Feb., etc...
Hope this helped, and sorry if I'm a little too descriptive. I were just new to front end dev. or if you were confused (like I was at times) by the lack of examples on some parts of the documentation. :)


PACLOCK's KiK-2177 hockey puck-style padlock offers extreme security with an innovative design — the unique cone-shaped tip protects the lock from a frontal attack since a drill tip can't get a solid footing on the lock surface to drill into the lock. The KiK-2177 is precision CNC machined in the USA for quality and dependability and works with your key-in-knob and key-in-lever cores.
The KiK-2177 has a flat-back to fit shrouded Hasps and tapped holes specifically designed to fit American Lock®'s A801 HASP and PACLOCK's PL770 and PL775 1/4" steel Hasps — this allows the lock to stay connected to the HASP when opened. The solid body KiK-2177 is machined from hardened steel, electroless nickel plated for extreme toughness, and resistant to the environment.
The KiK-2177's hidden shackle design protects your lock from direct access by bolt cutters and hacksaws. With only one moving part, the KiK-2177 lacks the environmental vulnerabilities that traditional, shackled padlocks have. Even after years of exposure to the elements, this lock will still function.
Shrouded hasps, including American Lock®'s A801 hasp & PACLOCK's PL770 & PL775 hasps.


Great improvement and interesting result. I was wondering why the hairline is asymmetrical - the right side is more receded. Also, even though the just-after-procedure photos don't show implants in the back half of the crown, the after photos seem to show hair growing in that region. Thanks.
