J.C. Penney launches an Innovative Business Model
By Jim Muehlhausen
by Oksana Girs
After a dismal revenue increase of 0.7 percent in an 11 month period, J.C. Penney decided to start fresh with new leadership and innovative "pricing strategy." Under this new strategy, Penny's will eliminate all sales in favor of everyday low pricing.
In 2011, J.C. Penney Company, Inc. hired a new team of successful professionals helmed by CEO Ron Johnson, former Apple executive, and President Michael Francis, former Target CMO. This team believes that their new pricing strategy can change customers' way of shopping, purchasing habits and satisfaction level.
So what's this all about?
Why wait for sales? Shop when you want. Penney is reducing all of its merchandising by at least of 40 percent. In contrast, in 2011 J.C. Penney hosted 590 sales events.
Tired of confusing tags? Penney will offer an easy tagging system for you. They will divide all the merchandise into just three pricing categories: "Every Day," "Month-Long Value," and "Best Prices," each having its own color for shoppers' convenience. The last one will take place every first and third Fridays monthly, and it's designed to make room for new merchandise.
Still fooled by psychological pricing? Penney doesn't think so. They will round their prices: instead of having $14.99 tag, the price will be a round number like $14 or $15.
Bored with same old advertisement? J.C. Penney launched a new promotional campaign, featuring a new logo and a spokeswoman, talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres.
Is this actually going to work?
It seems to be an interesting Business Model for J.C. Penney. Have they discovered the customers' actual needs? Many people want to pay a fair price when they want to, instead of searching and waiting for sales. Customers are tired of cutting coupons from newspapers and carrying a bunch of discounts with them in case they stop by a store. A strategy which makes shopping experiences easier for customers might help Penney build stronger relationship with shoppers; therefore, it will expand the size of their purchasing target market.
In the era of smart phones, applications that gives shoppers an opportunity to scan an item in order to find the best deal on it, will certainly promote J.C. Penney with its new "Everyday low pricing" concept. At the same time, would this new strategy be able to provide customers with such an important to them "I got a bargain!" feeling, which makes shopping a fun and exciting experience, and stimulates purchases?
As a part of Penney's promotional campaign, they would launch a monthly 96-page catalogue that will be mailed to its 14 million customers. Why would J.C. Penney decide on such an expensive advertising move in this digital era, especially, when e-tailing has become such a vital element of the company? Surely they must have some good reasons for this.
There are definitely noticeable similarities between Penney's new pricing strategy and existing business model of Wal-Mart's. Ideas that distinguish J.C. Penney's business model from competitors are needed to be emphasized. Would this new transformation strategy be enough to revitalize J.C. Penney and make it a real rival of Macy's and Kohl's?
Business model that is based on customers' desires and provides a variety of services and entertainment for customers is may be successful. J.C. Penney wants to expand its store layout by launching the store-within-a-store concept by adding brand boutiques, such as Martha Stewart, Liz Claiborne, Nanette Lepore, within department chain. Would this business model concentrate on providing a personalized customer service? Former Apple executive Ron Johnson has an experience in building strong relationship with customers and building their trust. Can this translate to soft goods?
Based on the 3005 comments, as of 30th of January, left on the Yahoo! Finance article "J.C. Penney gets rid of hundreds of sales," readers are looking forward to Penney's new pricing strategy. Rapid increase in the JCP's shares on the stock market indicates that stockholders believe in sales growth and are optimistic about company's strategic change.
By the same token, the new business model could be a train wreck. Sales create motivation to make a special trip to a store. With mall traffic down, will shoppers still be motivated to head to JC Penney's for the same pricing that was available yesterday and the day before? There is a scenario where this business model blows up badly and 1) lowers Penney's overall margins, 2) lowers annual sales as reasons for a special trip to Penny's disappear, 3) lowers impulse buys of high margins items from sale shoppers, and 4) makes Penney's a Kohl's Version 2.
What do you think about J.C. Penney's new Business Model? Can it change customers' purchasing patterns? Will it revolutionize the retailing industry?

Welcome to the latest issue of our newsletter for Winter 2018/19.
Do you love the idea of the Walled Garden project but can't garden or just don't have green fingers? There are lots of other ways to volunteer or get involved. Right now, we are looking ahead to what events we need to plan for over the coming year and would really welcome any offers of help to take this forward.
Help running activities such as open days, volunteer working parties, manning a stand at external events, celebration and social events.
Weekend Working Parties – a Big Thank You!
We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came along this weekend to help us prepare the ground for the installation of a new electrical and water supply around the garden. Everyone worked really hard and did a fantastic job.
The work involved weeding, moving piles of rubble and digging away part of the big soil "mountain" in the south of the Walled Garden to clear a route close to the walls so that a digger can get through to make the required trenches. The soil from the mountain was then transported to the other end of the garden to help level out some of the uneven ground in what will become the "productive" quadrant.
Here are some photos of the volunteers from the Saturday afternoon and Sunday crews. If anyone has any photos from Saturday morning, do please send them in to email: info.lgh.garden@gmail.com so that we can include as many volunteers as possible.
We are always ready to welcome new volunteers to this wonderful community gardening project in Torfaen. If you are interested in giving it a try, we are open every Monday during the day time and every Sunday morning 10.30 – 12.30. Visit our Volunteering page for more information.
The Friends of Llanfrechfa Grange Walled Garden are members of 'Social Farms and Gardens', a federation of community growers. On Saturday June 2nd many members will be opening their gardens to promote and celebrate the work of community growing groups across Wales, and we are one of them! If you want to get involved too and 'have a grow' we will have seeds to sow and plants to pot on, or just come along to see how the garden is progressing and maybe buy a plant or two. Refreshments also available.
We will be open from 10.00 until 1.00.
The Trustees are pleased to announce that we will be holding an Open Morning at Llanfrechfa Grange Walled Garden on Saturday 14th April, meeting at the Committee Room, Grange House, from 10am to 12 noon.
This event has been specially organised for friends and volunteers as a thank you for supporting the project. There will be an opportunity to look around the garden and see what we are growing. We hope it will be looking quite colourful by then! You can meet other supporters and the Trustees and find out where we currently are with our plans for 2018 and beyond. You may be able to purchase plants, or at least place an order for some and we will, of course, have refreshments available.
So make a note in the diary, dust off the cobwebs (and the snow!) and come and join us for an hour or two.
Hidden Now Heard goes online.
The second AGM of the Friends of Llanfrechfa Grange Walled Garden was held in the Main Hall at Llanfrechfa Grange on a dark and soggy afternoon on 20 November 2017. Despite the dreadful weather, a few brave souls joined the Trustees for a look back over the last year's activities and to hear news of our future plans.
A raffle and sales held on the day, along with some membership renewals, raised around £100 for the charity.
Our thanks to all our supporters for your contributions over the past year.

Sierra and Jordan recently shared their special day at this William Penn Inn Christmas Wedding. I've found that winter weddings can be some of the most beautiful, charming events; Sierra and Jordan's own celebration was absolutely no exception! There was simply so much to adore about this special day. The fine details – always a favorite of mine – were simply stunning. I loved the simple calligraphy, which was done by Shirlee Dibacco; talk about romantic! I was also charmed by the simple, yet sublime, color scheme of the William Penn Inn Christmas wedding. The deep maroon fit both romance and the Christmas season, and nothing can beat charming creams and whites! The bridal bouquet was done by The William Penn Inn Flower Shop, and the colors were just heavenly. Sierra looked luminous as she prepared for her big day. The beading on her dress, from Carlisle's Bridal Pittsburgh, and the sparkle on her shoes went beyond perfect! Her bridal party was overjoyed when they saw the completed look; such a special moment between a bride and her closest friends!
Each and every groomsmen was dressed to nines for the big day! Jordan looked dashing in his suit, from the Men's Warehouse. As the day sped by, I learned more about Sierra and Jordan from their loving friends. These two met while they were both still in school! After growing up in the same hometown, and sharing many mutual friends, these two were simply meant to be. They now live together in Pittsburgh; if these photos are any proof, this couple could simply not be happier!
Sierra and Jordan had the most adorable first look. I cannot get over the bliss on Jordan's face when he saw his bride for the first time. The church was grandiose, and the Christmas decorations fit into the wedding perfectly. Walking around the grounds with Sierra and Jordan was magnificent, and there was plenty for the three of us to explore around the church. Sierra looked undeniably radiant, and Jordan couldn't keep his eyes off of her! The two looked positively chic as the big event drew nearer and nearer!
Assembling the bridal party and groomsmen together before the reception was a lot of fun! There was nothing but love radiating off of Sierra and Jordan's closest friends. I loved the shade of maroon used for the bridesmaids' dressed, which were from Azazie. Everyone was so excited from the nearly-wed couple, and I just love how all of these shots turned out. I especially loved the miniature bridal bouquets – the color scheme was remarkable and sweet! The love felt just photographing this tight-knit group can not be understated.
Finally, the ceremony arrived. The church was just fabulous. Seeing a couple come together in marriage is such a magical moment! The room was fit to burst with all the love inside of it! Once the ceremony drew to a close, I got a look around the reception before it was filled with guests. Once again, I was just awestruck by all the little details, especially how wonderfully they fit with the color scheme. From dazzling golds to warm, romantic maroons, this wedding was completely exquisite. The cake, done by the William Penn Inn Bakery, was gorgeous, and matched the snowy, floral displays that adorned each table.
Soon enough, it was time for the reception to begin. From the couple's first dance, to sweet, glowing toasts, the room was overflowing with adoration for the newly wedded couple. I promise you, I am not exaggerating when I say this – every single guest ended up on the dance floor! The room was filled with music, dancing, laughter, and excited chatter; happiness blossomed from every corner of the room! Sierra and Jordan joined me outside for a few more portraits. The William Penn Inn's exterior was as lustrous as its inside, and string lights were the perfect backdrop for the romantic photos.
I hope you've enjoyed reading about Sierra and Jordan's special day! This William Penn Inn Christmas wedding was undoubtably one for the books.

3 changes to HDB Policies
Change #1
Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) has been revised. For all who buy a resale flat from 5 March 2010, the new MOP is now 3 years (formerly 1 or 2.5years), regardless of loan taken.
MOP of 5 years remains for owners of new flats, or those taking up HDB grant.
Flat owners who own their flats prior to 5 March 2010 are NOT affected by the changes.
Reinforcing Owner-Occupation Among HDB Flat Owners
Date issued : 05 Mar 2010
The Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan, announced in Parliament today that HDB will be raising the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) for the resale of non-subsidised HDB flats from 1 and 2.5 years to 3 years. The objective is to reinforce owner-occupation.
HDB flats are primarily meant to provide owners with a roof over their heads. They are not meant for speculation or short-term profit. Hence, lessees are required to stay in their flat for a minimum period before they may sell their flat in the open market. Currently, lessees of subsidized HDB flats, i.e. HDB flats bought directly from HDB, DBSS flats bought from private developers or resale flats bought with CPF housing grant, are subject to an MOP of 5 years. On the other hand, lessees of non-subsidised HDB flats i.e. resale flats bought without CPF Housing Grant, are subject to the following MOP:
a)	Those who take an HDB concessionary loan – 2.5 years
b)	Those who take a bank loan or do not take a loan – 1 year
To reinforce the principle of owner-occupation, the MOP for resale of non-subsidised flats will be increased to 3 years, regardless of whether the buyer takes an HDB loan, a bank loan or no loan at all. With the extension of MOP, the demand in the resale market will also more accurately reflect the interest from buyers who are buying flats for occupation.
The revised MOP policy will apply to resale transactions where applications are received by HDB from 5 Mar 2010 onwards. Existing lessees of non-subsidised flats will not be affected, i.e. the original MOP of 2.5 or 1 year continues to apply to them. There are also no changes to the MOP for subletting of whole flats.
(via HDB website)
In the past, HDB upgraders were not allowed to take out a 2nd HDB concessionary loan. Now, should a HDB owner need to downgrade, they can take up a 2nd HDB loan, with conditions:
– Full CPF proceeds from sale of current flat must pay for downgraded flat.
– Half the cash proceeds will go towards paying for downgraded flat.
– Remaining amount would make up 2nd HDB concessionary loan.
– Should cash proceeds be $25k or less, flat buyers get to keep it all.
Normal HDB loan conditions must be met (ie. household income $8k or less). HDB flat buyers who have disposed of their private property remain ineligible for concessionary loan.
Revisions to HDB Loan Policy to Support Right-sizing and Financial Prudence
Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan, announced changes to HDB's second concessionary loan policy in Parliament today. The changes support flat owners to right-size, as well as ensure that buyers exercise financial prudence.
Lifting of Upgrading Condition
Currently, only households that are upgrading to a bigger flat type are eligible to apply for a second concessionary loan from HDB. This may have inadvertently encouraged some to upgrade even though it may not be prudent for them to do so.
HDB will remove the condition that a buyer must upgrade to qualify for a second concessionary loan. This means that the second concessionary loan will be made available to all eligible households regardless whether they upgrade, downsize or move to the same flat type. This will benefit families that need to right-size to smaller flats but do not have sufficient proceeds from the sale of their existing flats. However, HDB flat buyers who have disposed of their private properties will remain ineligible for a second concessionary loan.
Right-sizing the Quantum for the Second Concessionary HDB Loan
To further encourage financial prudence, HDB will reduce the quantum of the second concessionary loan by the full CPF proceeds and part of the cash proceeds from the sale of the existing or immediate past HDB flats. Flat buyers can keep the greater of $25,000 or half of the cash proceeds (including the cash deposit received). HDB will take into account the remaining part of the cash proceeds when determining the quantum of the second loan to be granted.
For those who buy the next flat after selling the existing one, they will have to use up to 50% cash proceeds from the sale of the immediate past HDB flat and all of the CPF balance to finance the purchase of the next flat. This will apply regardless of when the previous HDB flat was sold.
For those who buy their next flat before selling the existing one, the proceeds from the sale of their existing flat would not have been realised when they first apply for an HDB loan. To help them buy a flat, HDB will first grant them a bigger loan at commercial interest rates The commercial interest rates are pegged to the 3-month average non-promotional interest rate for HDB flats offered by the 3 local banks. Currently, the rate is 3.82%. after they draw down their CPF balance. After the sale of their existing flat, they will have to redeem this loan with the full CPF refund from sale of the existing flat and part of the cash proceeds as described in paragraph Upon redemption, the loan will be converted to a concessionary rate loan.
The right-sizing of loan quantum will ensure that flat buyers do not take a larger second concessionary loan than necessary, and can help to reduce the likelihood of subsequent mortgage arrears. Please refer to the worked examples Annex A (PDF 16KB)
Implementation Date
The revised second loan policy is implemented with immediate effect as follows:
To encourage SPR (Singapore Permanent Resident) to take up citizenship (Singapore Citizen) (or to differentiate between a SC-SC household versus SC-SPR household), SC-SPR households will get $10k less grant (where eligible) compared to before. The $10k can be claimed when the SPR takes up citizenship, or when they have a SC child.
In the case of a new flat, SC-SPR households will have to pay a $10k premium.
There have also been a change in Ethnic ratios to prevent new PRs from forming enclaves. Malaysian PRs are not affected by this new ratio.
Policy Changes To Support An Inclusive And Cohesive Home
The Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan, announced in Parliament today housing policy changes to encourage Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs) to take up citizenship, a new quota to promote social integration of SPR households in public housing estates, and a revision to the Ethnic Integration Policy to accommodate Singapore's changing demographics.
PART A: PROMOTING CITIZENSHIP IN HDB HOUSEHOLDS
With globalisation, an increasing number of SPRs are joining our community as long-term residents. SPRs contribute economically and socially to building our society, and it is in our country's interests for them to sink their roots here permanently. Hence we would like to encourage SPRs to take up Singapore citizenship.
Reinforcing the Privileges of Citizenship
HDB facilitates home ownership by providing generous subsidies. Today, SPRs married to Singapore Citizens (SCs) enjoy the same subsidies as Singaporean couples. We would like to encourage the SPR family members in such SC/SPR households to take up citizenship.
To do this and to reinforce the privilege of citizenship, HDB will withhold $10,000 of the housing subsidies enjoyed by SC/SPR households when they buy a flat. If they buy a resale flat, a Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flat, or an Executive Condominium (EC), their Housing Grant will be reduced by $10,000. If they buy a new flat, they will have to pay a $10,000 premium on top of HDB's selling price. The changes are summarised in Table 1.
The withheld subsidy of $10,000 will be restored when an SPR family member in the SC/SPR household takes up citizenship or if the couple has an SC child while still in ownership of that flat. Eligible households can apply to HDB within 6 months of the change in household citizenship status to claim the $10,000 Citizen Top-Up via CPF.
PART B: ENCOURAGING SOCIAL INTEGRATION – QUOTA FOR SPR HOUSEHOLDS
SPRs are long-term residents in Singapore. It is important that they integrate well in our local communities. Social integration is a key policy objective in our public housing system. In line with this, HDB will introduce a new SPR quota for non-Malaysian SPR families buying flats, to facilitate better integration and to prevent enclaves from forming in public housing estates.
How does the SPR quota work?
The SPR quota will be set at 5% and 8% at the neighbourhood and block levels respectively. It will apply in addition to the existing Ethnic Integration Policy (EIP) limits. The SPR quota takes into account the composition of SCs and SPRs in Singapore, and their respective demand for public housing. Malaysian SPRs will not be subject to the SPR quota, in view of their close cultural and historical similarities with Singaporeans.
The SPR Quota caps the proportion of non-Malaysian SPR households in HDB neighbourhoods and blocks. Similar to EIP, any resale resulting in an increase in SPR proportion will not be allowed, if the neighbourhood/block limit is already reached. Under such circumstances, an SC seller or a Malaysian SPR seller would not be able to sell his flat to a non-Malaysian SPR household. However, a non-Malaysian SPR seller would still be able to sell to another non-Malaysian SPR as this would not increase the number of non-Malaysian SPR households.
PART C: REVISION TO THE ETHNIC INTEGRATION POLICY (EIP)
The EIP was implemented in 1989 to ensure a balanced ethnic mix across HDB estates and to prevent the formation of racial enclaves.
In response to Singapore's changing demographics, HDB will increase the limits for the Indian/Others ethnic group by two percentage points to 12% at the neighbourhood level and 15% at the block level. The current Indian/Others limits are 10% and 13% for neighbourhood and block respectively. There is no change to the limits for the Chinese and Malay ethnic groups as the current limits are sufficient. The revised ethnic limits are given in Table 2 below:
Implementation Date and Enquiries
The above housing policy changes will be implemented with immediate effect. More details can be found in Annexes A-C (PDF 16KB).

In an effort to help governments, NGOs, and other institutions prepare for emergency health communication needs, the Health COMpass provides a list of tools and project examples.
In times of crisis, communication is key.
As we've seen from the Ebola virus medical emergency situation in Africa, and more recently in the Nepal earthquake aftermath, getting the word out about where health services are, how to reach them, what to look for (in cases of disease), how to comfort, and even how to self-treat if needed, can mean the difference between life and death.
Preparing for emergencies can be time-consuming and even costly, but it is not a task that any institution can ignore. Setting up a communication infrastructure, getting all of the major players on the same page, and even running emergency scenarios to rehearse for tragedies that we hope never come, can save thousands of lives.
While emergency preparedness and risk communication are not new fields of study, having tools at hand to help institutions with carrying out those tasks has never been easier than it is in these days of electronic resource sharing. The Health COMpass has gathered several of the best "how to do it" tools and a few examples of "how it's been done" to help organizations begin to think about emergency communication preparedness and strategies.
While we hope that no country will need them, we know that being ready to respond at a moment's notice is more than half the battle. And if preparation can help save even one life, it is well worth every minute spent ahead of time.
This collection is still growing, and the Health COMpass staff is anxious to grow in this area, so if you have a tool or project example that you'd like to share, please join the Health COMpass and contribute your resources.

''Has the West Lost It?: A Provocation''

Has the West Lost It?: A Provocation Kishore Mahbubani
Publisher: Penguin Random House UK
The West's centuries-old status as the center of global wealth and power is coming to an end. As the new powers—China and India from Asia and others from Africa and Latin America—rise to the top of the world's pecking order, how should the West react? Kishore Mahbubani argues passionately and provocatively that the West can no longer impose its power and ideals on the world at large, and—paradoxically—that only by admitting its decline can the West set itself up for strategic success in the long term. Mahbubani examines the myths and self-delusions of Western power with an outsider's critical eye, and the shocking freshness of his geopolitical analysis will give all Westerners and political thinkers pause for thought.

Q: Spring OAuth2 + JWT, how to map external access token to local user I am currently developing a web service with Spring. I would like to provide users the possibility to login via external OAuth-Services, e.g. Google, Github,... as well as a traditional username/password-login. POJO-wise, I have the following setup:

*

*Each User has a One-to-Many relation to AuthenticationMethods

*Each AuthenticationMethod has exactly one AuthenticationProvider (e.g. google, github, local) and stores the sub of this authentication method and the corresponding User. In case of a local authentication, it is the User's ID.

*Each AuthenticationMethod with AuthenticationProvider == local additionally stores a password.

What already works
Local authentication (username/password) is done through an own OAuth2 authentication server (part of the Spring application) and returns an JWTAccessToken , containing the username (the frontend never sees the client_secret, thus a password grant is acceptible in this situation).
I am also able to retrieve access tokens from the external OAuth Providers (Google, Github,...) via the authorization_request grant process containing their user'S sup from said provider.
Problem
I need to map the external sub to a User object. Since, in theory, two different users could have the same sub at two different, external providers, I would have to check the issuer as well, resulting in a nasty if-else construct. Also, this translation from JWT token to a User must be performed with every access where authorization is required.
Ideas for solutions
What I would like to do is add information to the externally generated JWT. This is obviously not possible since I cannot "re-sign" the external JWT. My idea is to intercept the external JWT and issue a local JWT, containing the username, thus using the external JWT only for initial authentication.
Is there a built-in possibility in Spring to accomplish what I want? Or is there a "best-practice" to solve this problem?

A: The best practice is to have OAuth2 server to add username as an additional claim to JWT. Spring already has a handle that takes "user_name" claim from JWT and uses it as Principal object.

Q: prevent asynctask to run after intent and starting the activity I have tried to prevent an asynctask to run after changing the activity through intent but even after calling finnish() the activity is still creating.
I am trying to see if a user got filled the username/password or not in my application, if they are not filled it should be redirected to the loggin activity to complete them.
        Intent intent = new Intent(musicPlayer.this, LoginActivity.class);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        finish();
        startActivity(intent);

If the fields are completed the intent won't occur and the asynctask will do the log-in.
        new asynctaskMethod().execute();

I am not interested about other method to do the log-in because I am doing it through an api of a cloud, I don't have a SESSION to work with.
Every search I've done gave me the sollution of finnish but this is not working or I am not ussing it as it should.

A: if you ever bothered to read what AsyncTask has of methods you would have noticed that AsyncTask class has a method called cancel which accepts boolean value.
public final boolean cancel (boolean mayInterruptIfRunning);

Attempts to cancel execution of this task. This attempt will fail if the task has already completed, already been cancelled, or could not be cancelled for some other reason.

I wanted to share one of my favorite photos I have take in a while. I have taken many exit photos in my experience as an Atlanta Wedding photographer. At the end of the wedding and everything is winding down you can tell the the couple is ready to leave and get on with their honeymoon. I always love this time of the wedding. You get to see the couple and they are looking forward to being husband and wife. Also it is the end of the day and they finally get to have some time of their own with no guests.
This photograph is of a couple right before they leave. They had bought a Rolls Royce just for their wedding (the groom deals with exotic cars). They said "David take one shot before we leave!" . Not one to miss and opportunity like this. I grabbed my wide angle lens and jumped in the front seat of the Rolls. I snapped the photo. I think captures perfectly the giddiness of a couple right before they leave on an honeymoon.

When you think of chemical substances, you might imagine coloured liquids in test tubes bubbling away. Well, here's a chemical you might have forgotten!
Water! You could say it's the most important chemical of all. All animals need water to live – and for us humans it makes up 70% of our bodies! Every cell contains water and it does lots of important jobs like carrying oxygen, transporting waste and helping us stay cool.
Its chemical name is H2O because each of its molecules is made up of one Hydrogen atom and two Oxygen atoms. Like all chemical substances, it can be in three different states – solid like ice, liquid from the tap, or a gas when the kettle boils.
There's more to some water than meets the eye –water from a tap or bottle isn't always pure – it often contains dissolved minerals like sodium and fluoride. Something to think about next time you turn on a tap!

Q: How to pass a pointer using exec argv in C? I'm trying to demonstrate that programs started using exec can't derefernce inherited pointers but my pointer looks different. Is this intended?
p1.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
    int *pint = malloc(sizeof(int));
    *pint = 25;
    printf("[main] pint: @%p = %d\n", pint, *pint);

    int h = fork();

    if(h == 0) {
        (*pint)++;
        printf("[fork] pint: @%p = %d\n", pint, *pint);
        char *fname="./p2";
        char *arg[3];
        arg[0] = "./p2";
        arg[1] = (char*)pint;
        arg[2] = NULL;
        printf("[fork] arg1: @%p = %d\n", arg[1], *arg[1]);
        execvp(fname, arg);
    } else {
        sleep(1);
        printf("[main] pint: @%p = %d\n", pint, *pint);
    }

}

p2.c:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,void *argv[])
{
    printf("[ p2 ] arg1: @%p\n", argv[1]);
}

Here's a sample output that I'm getting:
$ ./p1
[main] pint: @0x55de8f6db260 = 25
[fork] pint: @0x55de8f6db260 = 26
[fork] arg1: @0x55de8f6db260 = 26
[ p2 ] arg1: @0x7ffe13b9fc65 // <--- mismatch
[main] pint: @0x55de8f6db260 = 25

A: The arguments you pass must be strings. That means
arg[1] = (char*)pint;

is wrong.
You need to create a string, and copy the textual representation of the value into the string.
Something like
char arg1[64];
snprintf(arg1, sizeof arg1, "%d", *pint);
arg[1] = arg1;

The requirement that the arguments are strings also means that void *argv[] is wrong as well.

A: As mentioned by kaylum, rici and Some programmer dude, one needs to convert pointer to string and then cast that string back to pointer to accomplish this, so:
p1.c:
char arg1[64];
snprintf(arg1, sizeof arg1, "%p", pint);
printf("[fork] arg1: @%s\n", arg1);

arg[0] = "./p2";
arg[1] = arg1;
arg[2] = NULL;

p2.c:
unsigned long long int *pint;
pint = (int*)strtoull(argv[1], NULL, 16);


HE has worked with many Group 1 winning trainers and it appears to have paid off for Bathurst trainer Aaron Williams.
The horseman has his first Group 1 starter in tonight's $100 000 Tooheys New Gold Crown Final at Gold Crown Paceway, Bathurst.
His two-year-old colt Pat McGarry won his heat comfortably last Saturday night, securing a position in the lucrative final in barrier six.
"The draw isn't ideal but hopefully we can settle down close enough at the start," Williams said.
Named after a good friend of Williams, Pat McGarry already has a following of his own with a number of people in the crowd cheering him home in his heat.
"He's definitely got a lot of character, he's a bit of a larrikin like my mate and the name sounded cool," Williams said.


Soldiers returning from active duty overseas have more than a few hurdles to jump as they settle back into life outside of a combat zone. According to a recent study, it can take months for service members coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan to adjust to driving stateside. The study showed that military personnel are responsible for 13 percent more accidents after they get home than they were before they left.
What makes the results so interesting is that the accidents are not caused by the carelessness of the drivers. The explanation is both more obvious and more subtle: The roads of Portland are different from the roads in war zones. It's not carelessness that causes the crashes. It's caution.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have become well-known for roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices. The roads are literal mine fields, and military personnel adopt driving styles that protect them and their passengers. The most commonly cited reason for accidents back in the U.S. was "objects in the road." It takes time to adjust to the relatively mild hazard posed by a Big Wheel at the curb.
The study came from USAA, an insurance company that specializes in covering military service members and their families. The researchers looked at car accident data from the six months before deployment and the six months following the return home of 158,000 of USAA's military policyholders. Over the three-year study period, those policyholders logged 171,000 deployments. An assignment to a combat zone can last a year or more.
The results varied for the different military services. The highest increase was the Army's 23 percent increase; members of the Marine Corps registered a 12.5 percent hike in the number of accidents. Far less dramatic were the increased accident rates for members of the Navy (up 3 percent) and Air Force (2 percent). Personnel from those branches were less likely to have been on the ground, much less behind the wheel in combat zones.
The study also found that more deployments were directly tied to higher accident rates. Only 12 percent more accidents were experienced by returning service members deployed only once, while the rate more than doubled to 27 percent for those with two deployments, and tripled to 36 percent after three or more deployments. Younger soldiers (under age 22) had more accidents than those over age 29, while more senior soldiers had fewer accidents than those of lower rank.

CONTRIBUTEDBrayden White, left, pictured with brother Declan White, will compete at the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic National Championships from May 2-4.
Long road leads White back to national stage
By Jared Bomba Staff Writer
Presidential terms, college degrees and enough extra time for an additional day on the calendar.
Lots of things happen in four years. For Cooperstown-based gymnast Brayden White, 16, it's the amount of time needed to overcome repeated injuries and return to the national stage of his chosen sport.
After four years and more injuries than can be counted on one taped-up hand, White is headed back to national competition after qualifying for the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic National Championships.
"I've been doing this for over a decade. I've come a long way, progressed a lot and been through a lot of hardship, but it's fun," Brayden said. "You spend so long training, five days in the gym a week, and after all of the hard work pays off it's good to see your dreams come true."
White, a sophomore at Cooperstown, took 15th place at the USA Gymnastics Region 7 Championships on April 6 to qualify for the national competition. When he competes in Reno, Nevada, from May 2-4, it will be his first appearance on the national stage since the Future Stars National Championships in 2015.
Since then, injuries to an elbow, both shoulders, a deltoid and a hamstring have stopped White from returning. Even now, a recent knee injury has stopped him from being at his best, and his 15th-place finish does not represent the highest finish White said he could have hoped for. But after four long years, he knows that just qualifying is an accomplishment.
"When you're younger, you kind of just test the waters as you start to get skills," Brayden said. "As you move on, you progress, but the skills only get harder. It's difficult as you get older but you appreciate it just as much."
For Brian and Susan White, seeing their son struggle with injuries has been a challenge. But dealing with injury is a big part of gymnastics, perhaps even more so than in other sports. Brayden's younger brother, 15-year-old Declan, is missing this month's Junior Development National Championships with an elbow injury.
But the athletic stresses central to gymnastics are also the reason why the Whites put their boys into a tumbling class when the family was living in New Jersey about a decade ago. Brian and Susan have considerable experience competing in and coaching cycling and ski racing, respectively, and they were attracted to the challenges gymnastics would bring to their children.
"We understood the physical part of athletics is multifaceted — balance, agility, coordination, strength and power," Susan said. "Some sports are more specific to some areas than others, but we just wanted a solid foundation for them. We thought gymnastics would be a great foundation for any sport they chose later in life."
"I'm happy for (Brayden) to see some degree of fruits for his labor," Brian said. "As a dad, if you're working hard, it's good for him to see some light in the tunnel and some return on his investment."
Brayden's athletic ability saw him quickly move from recreational tumbling classes to the gymnastics team at a YMCA in New Jersey. The brothers continued to compete after a move to Massachusetts and eventually to Cooperstown in 2009.
Since arriving in Cooperstown, pursuing the sport has typically meant traveling 90 minutes to World Class Gymnastics Academy in Latham. A decade of dedication has made the sport a big part of the Whites' youth, increasingly so as the boys have matured, encountered hardship and taken on the agency to decide what they want to pursue.
"It's definitely become part of my identity, for sure. Obviously it's a difficult sport that teaches you a lot of life lessons," Brayden said. "You learn how to come back mentally and physically after you've been hurt for long periods of time, and you definitely appreciate it more as you mature."
Along the way, gymnastics has provided the Whites with even more latent benefits than Brian and Susan foresaw. Hours in the car and overcoming obstacles together have made the experience more than a solely athletic venture. The sport has become the main athletic pursuit for both Declan and Brayden, rather than a foundation for other endeavors; but the most meaningful results have not come from competition judges.
"It's been really fun. It's weird to say fun, but when you watch the kids grow, it's so enjoyable. It's oddly enjoyable to watch the struggle. The learning, the processing. To see them come out better for it on the other side," Susan said.
"They found something they have a passion for and they are applying themselves fully and seeing what they can do," Brian said. "Learning the ups and downs of life, how to balance things, learning life. They are life skills that will take them to college and beyond, and make them productive and competent human beings."
The dedication has not detracted from other priorities for the Whites. Declan and Brayden both earned USAG Academic All-America status, an honor Brayden also earned in 2018.
"It definitely means a lot because you get that recognition academically and athletically," Brayden said. "People don't always understand the difficulty to be at a high level in one discipline and to be at a high level in another discipline, academics. It's important to me."
To hear the White family tell it, the continued hardships presented by the sport have benefited the boys outside of competition. But now, those benefits are in turn producing better performances on the apparatuses.
"When I see him in the gym, when I see him competing, it looks like that is where he belongs," Susan said. "When he presents himself to the judges, he owns it. He owns that floor. He owns that apparatus. That's where he shines."
"As I walk around today, my knees are hurting, my back aches, my lats are sore, my shoulder is sore, my neck is a little strained," Brayden said. "It's so intense, you've only got so long until you can't do it anymore so you have to enjoy the time you have."

Some GOP governors call for delay on Kavanaugh vote
By Geoff Mulvihill On Sep 27, 2018
(ASSOCIATED PRESS) – A handful of Republican governors facing re-election in left-leaning states called on the U.S. Senate Thursday to delay a confirmation vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to allow time for an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations.
The governors don't have an official role in the nomination process, but their voices could add pressure to the Senate's consideration and help distance the governors from President Donald Trump.
Three governors who called for a delay in the vote have been critical of Trump on at least some issues in the past and are seeking re-election in Democratic-leaning states.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker told reporters there needs to be a full and independent investigation of the claims before a vote is taken.
"I said that because I believe professor Ford," Baker said.
He was referring to Christine Blasey Ford, who told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when both were teenagers in the 1980s.
At a rally in Boston on Thursday, his Democratic opponent, Jay Gonzalez, still took aim at Baker for not speaking out more strongly.
"I will be a governor who stands up for women, speaks out against sexual abuse and believes survivors who have the courage to share their stories," he said.
On Wednesday, before Ford's testimony, Vermont Gov. Phil Scott told the Burlington Free Press that the Senate was obligated to "get it right."
"So take your time. Investigate," he said.
Through a spokeswoman, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Kavanaugh's nomination should not proceed without a full investigation of the allegations. A week earlier, Hogan had rejected a Democratic state senator's call for Maryland state police to investigate Ford's allegations.
Hogan's opponent in the November election, Democrat Ben Jealous, went further, saying Kavanaugh should not be confirmed.
"The women who have come forward should have the freedom to pursue legal remedy, and our leaders have the obligation to do everything they can to end this epidemic of sexual violence," he said in a statement.
Some other Republican governors and candidates for the office stopped short of calling for a full investigation.
Mike DeWine, the Republican running for the open governor's seat in Ohio, said the Senate needs to look carefully at the evidence, but without specifically calling for a delay in the confirmation vote.
Brian Sandoval, the outgoing Republican governor of Nevada, and Scott Walker, running for re-election in Wisconsin, made similar comments.

One out of every two women over the age of 50 has low bone density – either osteopenia or osteoporosis. With adults over the age of 65 representing the fastest growing population segment in the United States, every Pilates instructor needs to be trained in dealing with this critical group of clients. Position yourself as a skilled and knowledgeable instructor by acquiring the necessary tools to work safely and effectively with the clients who need Pilates the most.
Learn and be able to offer mat, standing and equipment exercise recommendations for the frail osteoporotic/ osteopenic client.
This workshop is approved by the PMA for 10 CECs.
There is nothing like the stretch-eze® to give you feedback while you do your Pilates work to build bone and reverse #osteoporosis.
This individual nylon lycra stretch band developed by dance/movement therapist Kimberly Dye, is used for resistance and stretch exercises. Wrap it around your shoulders and put in your feet. Feel snug, supported, and able to press into the resistance to create a cleaner access to the intrinsic core muscles with no build up of tension.
This video explores the opposite arm leg reach with the stretch-eze® to enhance connection in your body and provide sensory feedback. You can purchase a stretch-eze® on my website!
On October 1 and 2, 2016, I will be presenting a workshop for Pilates Instructors at BASI Pilates. This program is approved for 10 PMA CECs. If you'd like to host this presentation in your studio for area Pilates Instructors, please contact me!
It's cold and flu season. Are you worried about germs? We are too! At Pilates with Teresa we want you to experience an enjoyable session and not be concerned about the germs that might be left over from the last person! We make sure to wipe down all equipment that you will touch with our plant based non toxic surface cleaner!
Wondering what we use as a cleaning solution? We have done research and created a cleaning solution that smells wonderful and keeps surfaces clean and safe!
If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia you're probably searching for answers to guide you through the fog. My specialization is in exercise to promote bone health which is just one important spoke on the bone health wheel. Of course there are several other spokes – and navigating those can be perplexing.
To get a clear picture and understand the other spokes of this wheel, I highly recommend the book "The Whole-Body Approach To Osteoporosis" – which is written by Dr. Keith McCormick, a chiropractor who is both a former Olympian and a current triathlete.
Diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 45, he suffered twelve fragility fractures over the next five years. Unable to find a manual to inform him how to best cope with his condition, he took on the task of creating one himself. Dr. McCormick's goals in writing the book were to create a user-friendly manual to empower readers to take charge of their own bone health. The result is a comprehensive description of the whole-body wellness required for skeletal health, built on his many years of research.
With the diagnoses of osteoporosis exploding as our boomer population ages, control of this disease requires more than reflexive prescribing of osteoporosis medications and calcium supplements. Topics in the book include a clear description of what leads to osteoporosis, how to evaluate the severity of your osteoporosis, dietary and nutritional recommendations for good bone health, the importance of controlling inflammation, the importance of (and how to attain) a healthy digestive system, hormonal balance, environmental toxins, and the importance of exercise.
To make it easy to incorporate his suggestions into your busy life, Dr. McCormick created a line of quality nutritional supplements, Osteonaturals, which promote skeletal health. I can't speak personally to the supplements but I read a recent thread on an online osteoporosis discussion board that I frequent and there was strong positive sentiment for both Dr. McCormick's character as well as the efficacy of his Osteonaturals supplement line. Several people noted improved blood markers as a result of using his products. You can learn more at www.osteonaturals.com and you can buy his book here.
In addition, if you would like to understand more about the science behind bone loss and supplementation, watch Dr. McCormick's 3-part free online video series – beginning with Part 1 . His presentation style is professional and warm, drawing you in and helping you to make sense of all the science. It's very clear that he has a handle on all this research and genuinely wants to help.
Dr. McCormick is still completing marathons. In fact, he'll be challenging Boston's Heartbreak Hill next month. That is one more testament to the value of his knowledge and products, not to mention his determination.

Hopping 100 times a day isn't for everyone, but I make it part of my routine and have recommended it for years for those who are able. So imagine how enthusiastic I was that British researchers have "powered-up" simple hopping for remarkable hip-building benefits — and this was among seniors with the average age of 70.
These impressive results were obtained by 70-year-old men who would normally experience aging bone loss each year. The gains were from the impact with each hop delivering 2.7 to 3 times body weight ground resistance force (this indicates a significant enough hop to produce an impact of 2-3 times one's body weight). While the study was done with men, I seen no reason why women would not achieve the same gains from brief single-legged daily hopping. Furthermore, I suspect one would obtain substantial benefits from one legged hopping even if they did not reach the high impact level used in this study.
• At the year's end hip cortical mass and trabecular density had increase substantially in both legs with greatest gains accrued in the hopping leg.
Let me know your thoughts and your plan to keep hopping one way or another.

The 2014 PMA Conference was Awesome!
The annual Pilates Method Alliance Conference in San Diego, Nov 12-15, is THE big Pilates event for instructors worldwide.
I've had the honor of presenting workshops and classes at the conference over the last 4 years AND I get the opportunity to learn from luminaries in the field and share their jewels with my clients. I also get to connect with friends and colleagues from all over the world…There was not a moment in the conference when I was not doing, feeling, breathing and even as you saw in the newsletter photo, "drinking" Pilates!
This coming together of like minded professionals (over 900 attendees this year) rekindles the passion that drew me to Pilates in the first place. Back in 1989, as a dancer with Martha Graham, I'd heard from other dancers about the benefits of this method. It was in an upper west side Manhattan apt. where I was first introduced to this rich body of work by first generation elder, Robert Fitzgerald. After my first experience of leg circles on the reformer and swan over the arc on the edge of the cadillac, I was hooked! I think Joseph Pilates would be proud of the longevity and direction his work has taken.
For the second year in a row, I sold my BoneSmart Pilates® DVD in the Dyenamic Movement Products booth and helped the creator, Kimberly Dye, demonstrate her Stretch-eze and other sensory products. There's nothing like witnessing the aha moments when people first try the roll up or teaser in this supportive fascia-like fabric. Her product is the perfect compliment for your Pilates practice. We'll be working on a special collaboration in 2015 and will keep you posted!
Just a quick word about the PMA association itself. All established professions have professional associations. In 2005, the PMA launched the only third party professional Pilates certification exam in the Pilates industry. The PMA serves the public by validating that a Pilates teacher meets entry level standards for safety and competency. By establishing this professional credential, the PMA put into place one of the primary components required for any established profession. The PMA also serves its constituents by elevating our profession to high standards, keeping us accountable and providing platforms for quality continuing education.
I am proud to be a PMA association member as well as a PMA certified Pilates teacher and look forward to next year's conference in Colorado!
Next week I head to the PMA Annual Meeting (in San Diego) for the 4th year in a row, 3 of them as a presenter.
This will be my first time teaching mat classes and I must say I'm feeling some trepidation at the prospect of instructing teachers of varying backgrounds. My hope is that people come with an open mind and heart, free of judgment or expectation.
Both my classes come at that post lunch, slump time so I hope to leave participants energized and inspired with maybe a new twist on familiar exercises or a cue that resonates for them.
There's a lot I'm personally looking forward to experiencing and learning and enjoy the prospect of seeing fellow Pilatistas that I haven't seen in awhile or that I primarily interact with online. It's always nice to see the face and feel the embrace of my fellow teachers as we support each other both virtually and in person!
More to come from the conference…!
I presented BoneSmart Pilates® to a SOLD OUT crowd of 120 Pilates instructors at the IDEA World Fitness Conference in Anaheim, CA on Aug 17, 2014. I must admit I was terrified when I learned the workshop was full. My greatest fear was finding myself staring out at the participants and forgetting why I was there or what I was saying, like a deer in headlights.
Gratefully, that did NOT happen and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. My intention was to share all that I've learned from my own research as well as from my wonderful teachers, Sara Meeks and Sherri Betz. I'm honored to have had such a receptive and engaged group of attendees.


•	Smart - We use emotional intelligence when working with one another and with clients.
Our culture shapes our actions, our products, and the relationships we forge with our customers. It helps us stand out in an ever-increasing crowd of providers. It is special and it is unique. It is KLDiscovery.
KLDiscovery are industry leaders in E-Discovery and as such you will play a key role in the handling and preparation of data for the Computer Forensic and E-Discovery phase. The position primarily involves the receipt and booking in of media, controlling the storage of media during its time with KLDiscovery and its eventual return/disposal. The individual filling this position will be responsible, through the CF Manager, for the daily running of the media cage at KLDiscovery.
Additional duties will include the preparation and dispatch of 'remote collection media' to clients and then kick starting procedures to have Data Analysts process this data upon its return. The duty will also entail some core Computer Forensic duties including the initial capture of data in a forensically secure manner and subsequent initial processing of the data whilst maintaining a complete chain of custody records adhering to forensic principles. The individual may also be required to help out Operations with replication and processing where required. The position is typically used as the entry point into the organisation for technical staff without any significant expertise or experience, and provided the holder is successful in the role, this may lead to an opportunity for career development as a Computer Forensic Investigator or working within the Operations Team.
The first 6-12 months of this role will be strongly focused on organising the media cage; specifically the return of media currently being held back to the rightful clients. This will entail communicating with these clients to arrange the return or destruction of media held by Computer Forensics and E-Discovery Operations.
•	Under the direction of the CF Manager take control of the media handling for the KLDiscovery London Office. This will entail organising the media cage and specifically the return of media no longer required back to the clients.
•	Willingness to travel to other KLDiscovery offices to drop-off/collect media.

Addiction holds a unique place in the public eye when compared to other chronic conditions. Most people maintain some sort of rough idea regarding the widespread nature of substance use disorder; however, only those who know it intimately can truly understand its effects on those who suffer. Others who look at Oregon addiction statistics and merely see numbers will not fully grasp the fact that these figures represent their neighbors, the family and friends of people with whom they interact on a daily basis.
The Oregon addiction treatment community understands. Every day, addiction treatment personnel stare into the faces behind the numbers and try to figure out how they can help. As with most things, this process begins with understanding. If you believe that you or a loved one may suffer from alcohol or drug addiction, a closer look at Oregon drug abuse statistics may provide insight into the nature of the problem and how it can be treated.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration collects national survey data every year that provides a glimpse into the spread of substance use disorder in each state. According to Oregon alcohol statistics, Oregon had the fifth-highest rate of alcohol use disorder between all fifty states from 2015 to 2016. At slightly over 7% of the Oregon population, rates of alcohol dependence were roughly the same as those presented in the 2015 behavioral health barometer despite a drop in the national average over that time.
Similar to most states, Oregon alcoholism statistics were highest among those aged 18 to 25 with 11.94% of those in this age group struggling with alcohol use disorder. Oregon alcohol use rates for this age group alone exceeded the rate of all treated alcoholics in the state by a full 6.7%, reflecting a stronger need for Oregon alcohol addiction treatment.
While Oregon alcohol use rates may have remained steady, Oregon addiction statistics showed a slight increase in illicit drug use. From 2014 to 2016, Oregon drug use rates went up from 2.9% to 3.79% while the national average remained slightly lower. Oregon prescription drug addiction remained fairly steady, falling in line with the national average as well as similar statistics for other states. General misuse of pain relievers, however, were higher in Oregon than in any other state with 5.44% of those aged 12 or older admitting to non-medical use of prescription opioids.
Oregon addiction statistics reflect a lack of treatment admissions among drug addicts. Only about 10.9% of Oregon drug addicts receive the treatment they require. This lack of drug addiction treatment creates numerous problems for the state of Oregon, not the least of which includes a problematic trend in Oregon overdose statistics.
According to national overdose statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon overdose rates decreased from 2014 to 2016. Unfortunately, this decrease was far from significant in the grand scheme of Oregon addiction statistics.
In 2014, the CDC recorded 522 drug overdose deaths in the state of Oregon. This means that for every 100,000 citizens, approximately 12.8 people died of drug overdose. By 2016, Oregon overdose death rates dropped to 11.9 deaths for every 100,000 people. The end result was that Oregon suffered a total of 506 drug overdose deaths that year. While any reduction in overdose deaths should be taken as good news, this statistically insignificant decrease should not be seen as a sign that Oregon addiction rates are improving. At best, they have remained relatively steady.
Furthermore, the problem is much more complex than simply whether Oregon overdose rates have gone up or down. A closer examination of Oregon addiction statistics shows that while overdose death rates improved for some substances, they severely worsened in other cases. For instance, an Oregon drug threat assessment recorded a slight decrease in heroin overdose deaths from 111 to 107 between 2014 and 2015. Meanwhile, methamphetamine death rates increased from 140 to 202 while cocaine deaths increased from 16 to 33.
Prescription drugs do not factor into the drug threat assessment, which places total overdose death rates at 287 for the year of 2015. This is far lower than the CDC's data, which places the total at 505 for that year. According to the CDC, 150 people died from prescription drug overdose in Oregon during 2015, and another 70 from methadone overdose. Combined, these numbers would account for nearly half of Oregon overdose rates, suggesting a strong need for prescription drug addiction treatment.
Based on Oregon addiction statistics as discussed above, numerous addicts and alcoholics in the state of Oregon are in need of immediate treatment. Some may choose to seek out an Oregon drug rehab facility, while others may prefer out-of-state care. Either will ensure quality treatment, although the latter option provides added benefits in the form of removal from the patient's previous environment. Those who receive out-of-state treatment will encounter fewer environmental triggers. On top of that, it will be harder to relapse because they will not have the necessary connections to find drugs as easily.
Aspire Health Network's facilities offer some of the best out-of-state care to those seeking Oregon addiction treatment. Our Muse House facility provides traditional and holistic forms of therapy, allowing every patient to take part in unique activities every day. By staying busy and involved in healthy activities, our patients learn to embrace a new lifestyle in which they do not rely on drugs and alcohol for pleasure.
For more information on our facilities and how we can help addicts and alcoholics seeking Oregon addiction treatment, please contact us at 844-278-2919 with any questions you may have. Aspire Health Network is here to help you overcome the grim future foretold by Oregon addiction statistics to discover a better and brighter life for yourself in recovery.


For the greens, the word "Renewable" is a holy word; a sacred word; consecrated by the high priests of environmentalism to evoke the divine. It has taken many years of political Spin Meistering to impart this divine connotation that green energy must instantly evoke in the minds of men. To be Renewable is to be close to the divine. The angels are totally renewable. Doesn't renewable connote life after death; resurrection, life without end? Yes, Renewable is a powerful word. The advocates of nuclear energy have the audacity to hijack this blessed word; what a sacrilege for the greens. Nuclear energy is the fiery breath from hell; a radioactive maelstrom of evil, of hellish heat, that only means death and destruction. Nuclear cannot ever be renewable. Renewable nuclear power is blasphemy, a perversion of the holy and the sacred, profanity of the most high. It would be the ultimate high sacrilege to the followers of the green religion.

Jan Niemierski, ps. "Kasperski" (ur. 26 czerwca 1886 w Butrynach, zm. 1941 w Auschwitz-Birkenau) – podpułkownik piechoty Wojska Polskiego, działacz społeczny, w latach 1935–1939 prezydent Rzeszowa.

Życiorys

Służba wojskowa
Urodził się 26 czerwca 1886 w Butrynach jako syn Józefa i Anny z domu Wit. Absolwent Gimnazjum we Frankfurcie nad Odrą. Odbył roczną służbę wojskową w Armii Cesarstwa Niemieckiego w szeregach 1 pułku grenadierów w Królewcu od 1907 do 1908. Od 1908 do 1914 był zatrudniony w charakterze urzędnika bankowego w Metz (Alzacja-Lotaryngia). Po wybuchu I wojny światowej został wcielony do armii niemieckiej i służył w niej od połowy sierpnia 1914 do listopada 1918 w randze zastępcy oficera, a potem w stopniu podporucznika (do 1916 na froncie wschodnim, następnie do 1918 na froncie zachodnim). Podczas służby w wojsku zaborczym był jednocześnie współpracownikiem Polskiej Organizacji Wojskowej. Od wiosny do jesieni 1918 sprawował funkcję dowódcy odcinka kordonowego na linii Łomża-Osowiec.

Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości został przyjęty do Wojska Polskiego w połowie listopada 1918. Przydzielony do 6 pułku piechoty Legionów (w składzie 1 Dywizji Piechoty Legionów) i w jego szeregach w stopniu podporucznika uczestniczył w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej na stanowisku dowódcy 3 kompanii. Brał udział w walkach o Lidę i bitwie o Wilno, zaś po tym jak zajęty został Dyneburg, został przeniesiony do prowadzenia prac w ramach Plebiscytu na Warmii i Mazurach, które prowadził po potajemnym przedostaniu się na teren Prus Wschodnich. Za swoje czyny wojenne otrzymał Order Virtuti Militari.

Z dniem 15 lutego 1920 został komendantem naczelnym Straży Mazurskiej, działającej w sferze propagandy i agitacji do 12 lipca 1920. Następnie ponownie służył w macierzystym 6 pułku piechoty Legionów, w okresie pokoju stacjonującym w garnizonie Wilno. Został awansowany do stopnia majora ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 czerwca 1919. W 6 pp Leg. był dowódcą kompanii, dowódcą batalionu (przez dwa lata) i pełniącym obowiązki zastępcy dowódcy pułku. 3 maja 1926 roku został awansowany na podpułkownika ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 lipca 1925 roku i 20. lokatą w korpusie oficerów piechoty. Następnie został przeniesiony do kadry oficerów piechoty z równoczesnym przeniesieniem służbowym do Ministerstwa Skarbu. 29 listopada 1927 roku został wyznaczony na stanowisko zastępcy dowódcy 60 pułku piechoty wielkopolskiej w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim. 23 sierpnia 1929 roku otrzymał przeniesienie do 19 pułku piechoty Odsieczy Lwowa we Lwowie na stanowisko zastępcy dowódcy pułku. 31 marca 1930 roku został przeniesiony do Korpusu Ochrony Pogranicza na stanowisko dowódcy Batalionu KOP "Hoszcza". Z dniem 30 czerwca 1934 roku został przeniesiony w stan spoczynku.

Działalność polityczna i społeczna

3 stycznia 1935 Rada Miasta Rzeszowa wybrała Jana Niemierskiego na urząd prezydenta Rzeszowa. Prezydent elekt J. Niemierski wraz z wiceprezydentem elektem Piotrem Więckiem złożyli przysięgę w Urzędzie Wojewódzkim we Lwowie 11 lutego 1935. Został potwierdzony na tym stanowisku przez ministra spraw wewnętrznych w lutym 1935. W Radzie Miasta Rzeszowa 28 marca 1935 został przewodniczącym Komisji Ogólnej. Przed wyborami parlamentarnymi do Sejmu RP w 1935 został mianowany komisarzem wyborczym w okręgu wyborczym nr 78. W marcu 1936 minister spraw wewnętrznych zatwierdził go na stanowisko prezydenta miasta Rzeszowa na okres 10-letni. Został działaczem Bezpartyjnego Bloku Współpracy z Rządem. 6 marca 1935 został członkiem "Radzieckiego Klubu Gospodarczego" Bezpartyjnego Bloku Współpracy z Rządem w Radzie Miasta Rzeszowa i pozostawał nim w dalszym czasie. Był delegatem Rzeszowa do Związku Miast Polskich, w 1937 wybrany członkiem zarządu ZMM i pełnił tę funkcję do 1939. W lipcu 1935 został mianowany komisarzem wyborczym okręgu nr 78. Reskryptem z 21 września 1935 jako przedstawiciel miasta Rzeszowa został wybrany na członka Lwowskiej Rady Wojewódzkiej. W czerwcu 1937 Jan Niemierski został członkiem zarządu okręgu rzeszowskiego Obozu Zjednoczenia Narodowego. W grudniu 1938 objął kierownictwo organizowanego oddziału OZN w Rzeszowie. Na przełomie czerwca i lipca 1938 wojewoda lwowski Alfred Biłyk oświadczył prezydentowi Niemierskiemu utratę do niego zaufania, wskutek "mało przychylnego ustosunkowania się do władz miejscowego OZON-u" i "niepokoju wniesionego do miejscowej KKO" oraz zasugerował mu rezygnację z urzędu, co Niemierski odrzucił; następnie Rada Miasta Rzeszowa uchwaliła wotum zaufania dla prezydenta, po czym został wydany odgórnie reskrypt zawieszający go w urzędowaniu, w wyniku czego władzę w Rzeszowie objął dotychczasowy wiceprezydent miasta.

W Rzeszowie Jan Niemierski działał społecznie: 16 lutego 1935 został członkiem zarządu Obwodu Powiatowego Ligi Obrony Powietrznej i Przeciwgazowej, w 1935 pełnił funkcję przewodniczącego rady Komunalnej Kasy Oszczędności w Rzeszowie, był kierownikiem oddziału Ligi Morskiej i Kolonialnej (wiceprezesem był płk Stanisław Siuda, dowódca stacjonującego w mieście 17 pułku piechoty), prezesem Towarzystwa Oświaty Zawodowej, 19 kwietnia 1936 został wybrany przewodniczącym zarządu Towarzystwa Szkoły Rzemiosł, 22 kwietnia 1936 został przewodniczącym zarządu komisarycznego zarządu powiatowego Związku Strzeleckiego, przewodniczył Towarzystwu Rozwoju Ziem Wschodnich, Radzie Chrześcijańskiej Gminy miasta Rzeszowa.

Po wybuchu II wojny światowej w okresie trwającej okupacji niemieckiej na początku 1940 został aresztowany przez Gestapo. 5 kwietnia 1941 został osadzony w niemieckim obozie koncentracyjnym Auschwitz-Birkenau. Otrzymał tam numer obozowy 11328. Poniósł tam śmierć w 1941.

It's Been Nearly One Year Since The Alleged "Coronavirus Outbreak" & Here's How We're Being Propagandized (Video)
Written by: Tim Brown
Published on: October 5, 2020
We are headed towards the one year anniversary since the alleged "outbreak" of coronavirus and the propaganda and tyranny have never been greater. From the liars in the media to the liars in government, we are inundated with false narratives, false numbers and more fear-mongering on this unproven "virus" than any other thing I can recall in history… and it goes on.
Spiro Skouras of Activist Post recounts what is behind us and what we are now facing, and the latest propaganda coming from where else? The White House.
As we approach the one-year anniversary of the novel coronavirus outbreak, we find ourselves facing many unanswered questions.
We find ourselves worse off in many ways, in comparison to when the outbreak just began, as we receive signals from public health officials and the media to prepare for another lockdown.
Trending: Death By Vaccine: The Last Things They Wanted You To Hear! (Video)
It appears we are approaching what could to be a perfect storm. The US Presidential Elections, flu season, the arrival of the new experimental COVID vaccine and the prophesied 'second wave' of COVID.
The big news of the week, of course, has been President Trump and the First Lady have both tested positive for COVID. The President has been hospitalized.
President Trump's doctor said that Trump's diagnosis was confirmed using the PCR test. Just like virtually every other 'confirmed case' we hear reported.
But was PCR really developed with the intention of diagnosing infectious diseases? Is PCR capable of diagnosing infectious diseases? How could a test developed almost 40 years ago be used to diagnose a brand new disease found less than one year ago?
In this report, we examine this questions in addition to reviewing video clips of multiple doctors weighing in on the subject including the biochemist Kary Mullis who invented PCR and won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for doing so has to say.
Why is understanding the test so important? Because it is the driving factor in the fear campaign that is being driven by the corrupt media and then used by the government to justify the restrictions imposed on our lives.
This is a must-see report that may change the perception of you, or of someone you may know, regarding the crisis.
