The tiny fatal injury that resulted in Princess Diana death.
To catch up on all things royal family, make sure you check out our Royal Hub. We've got you covered.
Almost 22 years after the death of Princess Diana in a Paris tunnel, we now know exactly which injury was fatal.
Writing for the The Mail on Sunday, Dr Richard Shepard, a pathologist asked to review evidence of the 36-year-old's death, says the former royal initially only appeared to suffer from a "few broken bones and a small chest injury", but that a tiny tear in a vein in one of her lungs proved to be deadly.

"To the ambulance services, she initially seemed injured but stable, particularly as she was able to communicate. While everyone focused on Rees-Jones, however, the vein was slowly bleeding into her chest," he wrote.
"In the ambulance, she gradually lost consciousness. When she suffered a cardiac arrest, every effort was made to resuscitate her and in hospital she went into surgery, where they did identify the problem and attempted to repair the vein. But, sadly, by then it was too late," he added.
The doctor explained that the brief period of consciousness was characteristic of a vital vein tear, as it is hidden away deep in the centre of the chest.
"Diana's was a very small injury – but in the wrong place," he wrote.
He believes that if she had been wearing a seat belt, she would have suffered from a black eye and a fractured arm, and that the crash would not have been fatal.
Princess Diana was in a car with her driver, Henri Paul, her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, and her reported boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, speeding through a Paris tunnel as they were chased by paparazzi in August 1997.
It was the end of a summer of love, and a photo of Diana and Dodi kissing had sold for $2 million dollars, spurring a flurry of photographers to stalk the pair at any cost.
On 31 August 1997, Diana and her billionaire boyfriend dined at his father's Ritz hotel in Paris. They were pursued by French paparazzi on motorbikes once they left the restaurant, prompting their crash into a pillar in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.
Only her bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, wore a seat belt and survived the crash.
Dodi was born in Egypt in 1955, the eldest son of Harrods tycoon Mohamed Al-Fayed and Samira Khashoggi. He divided his time between London, Paris, the Riviera and Cairo.
The pair met over a decade before they became romantically involved at a polo event that Diana attended with ex-husband Prince Charles in 1986. They also ran in the same circles in London.
Two months later after the couple became close on a luxury holiday, the fatal car accident occurred.

#Features:
- Mapping JSON to objects
- Mapping objects to JSON
- Nested Objects (stand alone, in Arrays or in Dictionaries)
- Custom transformations during mapping
- Struct support

#The Basics
To support mapping, a Class or Struct just needs to implement the ```Mappable``` protocol.
```swift
public protocol Mappable {
    init?(_ map: Map)
    mutating func mapping(map: Map)
}
```
ObjectMapper uses the ```<-``` operator to define how each member variable maps to and from JSON.

```swift
class User: Mappable {
    var username: String?
    var age: Int?
    var weight: Double!
    var array: [AnyObject]?
    var dictionary: [String : AnyObject] = [:]
    var bestFriend: User?                       // Nested User object
    var friends: [User]?                        // Array of Users
    var birthday: NSDate?

    required init?(_ map: Map) {
        mapping(map)
    }

    // Mappable
    func mapping(map: Map) {
        username    <- map["username"]
        age         <- map["age"]
        weight      <- map["weight"]
        array       <- map["arr"]
        dictionary  <- map["dict"]
        bestFriend  <- map["best_friend"]
        friends     <- map["friends"]
        birthday    <- (map["birthday"], DateTransform())
    }
}

struct Temperature: Mappable {
    var celcius: Double?
    var fahrenheit: Double?

    init(){}

    init?(_ map: Map) {
        mapping(map)
    }

	mutating func mapping(map: Map) {
		celcius 	<- map["celcius"]
		fahrenheit 	<- map["fahrenheit"]
	}
}
```

Once your class implements Mappable, the Mapper class handles everything else for you:

Convert a JSON string to a model object:
```swift
let user = Mapper<User>().map(JSONString)
```

Convert a model object to a JSON string:
```swift
let JSONString = Mapper().toJSONString(user, prettyPrint: true)
```

Object mapper can map classes composed of the following types:
- Int
- Bool
- Double
- Float
- String
- RawRepresentable (Enums)
- Array\<AnyObject\>
- Dictionary\<String, AnyObject\>
- Object\<T: Mappable\>
- Array\<T: Mappable\>
- Dictionary\<String, T: Mappable\>
- Dictionary\<String, Array\<T: Mappable\>\>
- Optionals of all the above
- Implicitly Unwrapped Optionals of the above

#Easy Mapping of Nested Objects
ObjectMapper supports dot notation within keys for easy mapping of nested objects. Given the following JSON String:
```
"distance" : {
     "text" : "102 ft",
     "value" : 31
}
```
You can access the nested objects as follows:
```
func mapping(map: Map){
    distance <- map["distance.value"]
}
```

#Custom Transfoms
ObjectMapper also supports custom Transforms that convert values during the mapping process. To use a transform, simply create a tuple with ```map["field_name"]``` and the transform of choice on the right side of the ```<-``` operator:
```swift
birthday <- (map["birthday"], DateTransform())
```
The above transform will convert the JSON Int value to an NSDate when reading JSON and will convert the NSDate to an Int when converting objects to JSON.

You can easily create your own custom transforms by adopting and implementing the methods in the TransformType protocol:
```swift
public protocol TransformType {
    typealias Object
    typealias JSON

    func transformFromJSON(value: AnyObject?) -> Object?
    func transformToJSON(value: Object?) -> JSON?
}
```

### TransformOf
In a lot of situations you can use the built in transform class ```TransformOf``` to quickly perform a desired transformation. ```TransformOf``` is initialized with two types and two closures. The types define what the transform is converting to and from and the closures perform the actual transformation.

For example, if you want to transform a JSON String value to an Int you could use ```TransformOf``` as follows:
```
let transform = TransformOf<Int, String>(fromJSON: { (value: String?) -> Int? in
    // transform value from String? to Int?
    return value?.toInt()
}, toJSON: { (value: Int?) -> String? in
    // transform value from Int? to String?
    if let value = value {
        return String(value)
    }
    return nil
})

id <- (map["id"], transform)
```
Here is a more condensed version of the above:
```
id <- (map["id"], TransformOf<Int, String>(fromJSON: { $0?.toInt() }, toJSON: { $0.map { String($0) } }))
```

#Subclasses
Classes that implement the Mappable protocol can easily be subclassed. When subclassing Mappable classes, follow the structure below:
```
class Base: Mappable {
	var base: String?

	required init?(_ map: Map) {
		mapping(map)
	}

	func mapping(map: Map) {
		base <- map["base"]
	}
}

class Subclass: Base {
	var sub: String?

	required init?(_ map: Map) {
		super.init(map)
	}

	override func mapping(map: Map) {
		super.mapping(map)

		sub <- map["sub"]
	}
}
```

<!-- ##To Do -->

#ObjectMapper + Alamofire

If you are using [Alamofire](https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire) for networking and you want to convert your responses to swift objects, you can use [AlamofireObjectMapper](https://github.com/tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper). It is a simple Alamofire extension that uses ObjectMapper to automatically map JSON response data to swift objects.

#Contributing

Contributions are very welcomed 👍😃.

Before submitting any Pull Request, please ensure you have run the included tests and that they have passed. If you are including new functionality, please write test cases for it as well.

ObjectMapper uses [Nimble](https://github.com/Quick/Nimble) to ensure test success. It is included using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage). Run the following command in the ObjectMapper root directory to fetch the Nimble depency and get the environment ready for running tests:
```
carthage checkout
```
From this point on, you should open the project using ObjectMapper.xcworkspace and NOT ObjectMapper.xcodeproj

#Installation
ObjectMapper can be added to your project using [Cocoapods 0.36 (beta)](http://blog.cocoapods.org/Pod-Authors-Guide-to-CocoaPods-Frameworks/) by adding the following line to your Podfile:
```
pod 'ObjectMapper', '~> 0.12'
```

If your using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) you can add a dependency on ObjectMapper by adding it to your Cartfile:
```
github "Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper" ~> 0.12
```

Otherwise, ObjectMapper can be added as a submodule:

1. Add ObjectMapper as a [submodule](http://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule) by opening the Terminal, `cd`-ing into your top-level project directory, and entering the command `git submodule add https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper.git`
2. Open the `ObjectMapper` folder, and drag `ObjectMapper.xcodeproj` into the file navigator of your app project.
3. In Xcode, navigate to the target configuration window by clicking on the blue project icon, and selecting the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.
4. Ensure that the deployment target of ObjectMapper.framework matches that of the application target.
5. In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "Build Phases" panel.
6. Expand the "Target Dependencies" group, and add `ObjectMapper.framework`.
7. Click on the `+` button at the top left of the panel and select "New Copy Files Phase". Rename this new phase to "Copy Frameworks", set the "Destination" to "Frameworks", and add `ObjectMapper.framework`.

Q: Unable to deploy a node in MAAS 2.1.3 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS In previous MAAS versions I successfully deploy a few machines and everything worked fine, but after I updated MAAS to 2.1.3 version using the solution from: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/autopilot, I am not able to do deploy anything.
Before trying to deploy the machine I commissioned it from MAAS using an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS amd64 image, after that I tried to deploy it using conjure-up with the Landscape spell, but from the logs I see that it can not even be deployed, so it is not a problem of conjure-up because the same problem happens if a I try to deploy it from MAAS UI.
From the logs you can see this:
Apr 28 15:52:37 Frenzy cloud-init[1205]: Reading package lists...
Apr 28 15:52:37 Frenzy cloud-init[1205]: E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/source/by-hash/SHA256/cd4de9b666f08e418e4ba56c87504e625ab69cb254eaaf2f79c6a6dc3a4cea4e Hash Sum mismatch

Has someone had the same problem? How could be fixed?

A: That to me looks like nodes in deployment can't reach the repositories. If you are using the MAAS node as a proxy to the internet make sure your IPTABLES is setup to NAT the nodes.

Poplatek za rezervovaný příkon (také poplatek za jistič) je součástí ceny elektrické energie, která se zúčtovává za měsíční rezervaci určitého množství energie pro každé OPM. Jedná se o regulovanou složku platby za energii. Výše poplatku nezávisí na množství odebrané energie, ale na charakteristikách jističe. Kromě pravidelného poplatku za rezervovaný příkon, který je součástí účtů za energie odběratelů, se platí také jednorázový připojovací poplatek za rezervovaný příkon při zřizování nového odběrného místa.

Jistič pro rezervovaný příkon nesmí být příliš slabý, aby nedocházelo k vypínání proudu při běžném provozu domácnosti, ani zbytečně silný (zbytečně vysoký poplatek). V případě, že se na odběrném místě používají spotřebiče vyžadující větší jištění, roste totiž i výše poplatku. Poplatek za rezervovaný příkon je inkasován distributorem elektřiny, činí kolem 7 % celkové ceny 1 kWh elektrické energie a slouží k provozování rozvodné sítě (tj. dráty elektrického vedení, transformační stanice atp.).

The event started with quiz about Setubun and presentation of their devil's mask craft. Then...came an red devil!
Children started throwing as many colorful balls as possible towards the red devil, trying to ward off not only the red devil but also a crying devil and an angry devil from their mind. Finally, the red devil ran away....and you might wonder what would happen to the devil in their minds??
Cooking ingredient for January is Negi or green onion. Children chopped the green onion and mix them with flour and a little bit of Mentuyu (Japanese noodle broth). Negi pancake is finished by frying the mixure. The chopped Negi is thicker than it's supposed to be, but the Negi pancake is very nice as they can enjoy its texture. They did it very well!
Part 1 : Today is the children's awaited event,Chiristmas party and christmas cooking!
They enjoyed a christmas fun story and magic presented by their teachers、sang ♪Silent Night in English. A suprise came after the teachers' wonderful hand bell performance. Mr Santa came to our kinder! Children were so happy and curious to ask many questions to Santa. Receiving a present from santa, they showed a big smile. A christmas lunch is another fun for children. They enjoyed the very special lunch together. Having lunch and talking with friends makes the lunch much tastier.
Part 2 : Afternoon fun!
Children enjoyed decorating their cupcake. They enjoyed thinking about where to put these bear /heart-shaped suger toppings on their cake. Look at their faces with whipped cream around their mouth when they are grabbing their cake. It's so delicious.

« Lynda Donaldson selected for Rother Valley | Main | Search for 100 Peers: Sir Andrew Green »
Simon Reevell selected for Dewsbury
Simon Reevell, a Yorkshire-based barrister, was selected at an open primary last night to contest Dewsbury at the next general election. He is currently chairman of Beverley and Holderness Conservative Associaiton.
After considerable boundary changes, the sitting Labour MP, Shahid Malik, will be defending a notional majority of only 3,999 (based on the Rallings and Thrasher figures), meaning that Simon needs a swing of 4.5% to win the seat. Along with Colne Valley, Calder Valley, Bradford West, Halifax, Leeds North West, Keighley, Elmet & Rothwell and Pudsey, it is one of a number of West Yorkshire marginals all of which - on paper - the party needs to win if it is to form a government after the next election. Dewsbury last had a Tory MP between 1983 and 1987 in the form of John Whitfield.
Simon said on his selection:
"I am delighted to have been selected as the Parliamentary Candidate for Dewsbury and look forward to working across the constituency in the coming months. I've already heard that residents and businesses are fed-up with Labour's twelve years of ignoring the needs of Dewsbury and of West Yorkshire. I'll be listening to what people really want improved and setting out our plan for change."
The previously selected Conservative candidate, Kevin Hollinrake, resigned last October to concentrate on his business affairs.

Having stayed at the Embassy Suites LAX North several times, it had been decided to try the Embassy Suites LAX South for a different view. Easy and quick transfers from airport to hotel afforded members the convenience of venue, even if LAX's main attractions were somewhat further away. There would be no distractions from the meetings!
– Free drinks every evening courtesy of the Embassy Suites!
……the opportunity to socialise with many members in the hotel or at many attractive venues close by.
With the GFG being such a friendly group, events started with a social gathering on the evening of Sunday 27th April to welcome everyone to the conference. We were pleased to know that local host members, Ken Hamanaka, again kindly invited the GFG visitors to a welcome party at their stunning residence. The event was greatly enjoyed by all members.
Above: Local host company, Ken Hamanaka's owners kindly invite all GFG members to a Mexican themed party at their house.
Below: GFG members enjoying excellent views and company.
Photo below right: Anna Marie Crow of IB&M (seen here in the middle) joined in the fun with the GFG members, sampling some gourmet ice-cream.
The GFG's casual conference started with an open forum, followed by the customary face-to-face sales meetings. A time to get down to the business of freight and logistics.
Below: IB&M kindly offered some sponsorship towards the welcome party, sharing their products and services amongst the GFG members.
Adding value to the meetings. After the business, it was time to benefit from the social experimentation, courtesy of the Instituto Ferrarezi. The GFG's Brazil member, Vogel Transport, had invited their friend and colleague, Eugênio Ferrarezi. He asked a series of quick fire questions, with multiple choice answers, in order to ascertain: "Which animal are you?" The results explained a lot about human inter-personal relationships and how to manage them effectively.
With plenty of pizza, salads and drinks to keep the GFG members energised, they enjoyed social time to relax and chat about the conference.
Though an optional outing, everyone joined in, proviign once more the strong bonds amongst the membership.
The GFG's friendly nature meant that this was not just a gathering of 30+ companies but a gathering of 45+ friends. Although the main motive is business, there were plentiful opportunities for socialising and strengthening the relationships for which the network is reknowned.
The speaker is Mr Eugenio Ferrerazi, a highly regarded trainer in Brazil, who is attending the conference as the guest of Luiz Garcia of Vogel. Eugenio's time and skills are very sought after but he has kindly offered his services free of charge for the benefit and interest of the GFG members attending the Los Angeles conference.
Eugenio Ferrarezi, specialist in Human Behaviour, Head Trainer at The Institute Ferrarezi, will talk about the origin of the different ways in which people interact in their relationships.
During his speech Eugenio will carry out a test so that you can recognize your profile, enabling you to interact in a better way with your family, friends, clients and partners.

Here at Union Room, we pride ourselves on being able to deliver quality websites. These will not only meet the needs of the client, but are striking and impactful too.
We began this project by sitting down with Yorkshire-based OpenCRM, who provide CRM solutions to a wide-ranging customer base, to discuss their needs as they looked to refresh their digital presence.
The client wanted to stand out against its rival and present itself as the only alternative to a more expensive service, with all the same features and more.
The current OpenCRM site needed consolidating and cleaning up. The project's aim was to deliver a concise, punchier message that was honest and open. This would ensure that customers knew they were getting the best features, coupled with world-class customer service.
The new website needed to reflect a modern, progressive company, but also OpenCRM's quirky personality and approachability. Union Room were tasked with creating a contemporary design that would be easy to navigate, allowing users to focus on the brand's key messaging.
We created a bespoke style to help refresh OpenCRM's brand. This focused on a new illustrative design that would continue beyond the homepage and across the entire site.
On tablet and desktop versions of the homepage, the illustration springs into life with subtle, but appealing animation. This offers the user more impact when they first land on the site, but achieves this without distracting away from clear calls to action and key messaging. The new style prominently highlights the company's key values and presents the product offering in a simple, informative way.
Is your site due a refresh too? Get in touch with us and take the first steps to upgrading your digital presence.

PoliticsBarack Obama must readsheroin
The Young Woman Whose Addiction Story Touched Obama's Heart Just Died
Jessica Grubb's political impact was profound.
Ryan Grim
Former Washington Bureau Chief, HuffPost
Sam Stein
Senior Politics Editor, HuffPost
Mar 28, 2016, 09:03 PM EDT | Updated Dec 19, 2016
Kevin Lamarque / Reuters
On Oct. 21, Jessica Grubb flipped open her laptop and watched a live stream of her father telling President Barack Obama about her addiction to heroin.
Obama was in Charleston, West Virginia, Jessica's hometown, to discuss the opioid epidemic. When the local newspaper solicited questions for the president from its readers, Grubb's parents asked their daughter if they could tell her story.
"Absolutely," Grubb said, hoping it might help somebody else in need.
If she'd been in Charleston, Grubb would have tried to attend the president's visit herself. But she was in Michigan, where she'd moved for a residential drug rehab program.
Her story, as told by her father that evening, had a more profound impact than she could have imagined. Since that day, whenever Obama has privately discussed the heroin and opioid epidemic with lawmakers, advisers or other White House visitors, the conversation drifted back to the Grubb family.
It was just so relatable. Like Obama, David Grubb is a former state senator, a former community organizer, a father of multiple daughters and a lawyer. "I don't know how you did five," Obama told Grubb, referring to his children. "Two keeps me busy." After the event in Charleston, Obama found David Grubb and his wife, Kate, for a hug.
Jessica Grubb "had a twofold reaction" to her story being shared with Obama, David Grubb recalled. "The one part was, 'Wow, the president's talking about me.' The second reaction was, 'Wow, the president's talking about me. It was bittersweet."
In late February, The Huffington Post published an article about Obama and the Grubbs.
A week later, Jessica Grubb was dead. She was 30 years old.

Like the opioid epidemic itself, Grubb's death was complicated. With the president and countless strangers pulling for her, she was let down by a treatment system that resists evidence-based practices and by a medical community that still hasn't figured out how to incorporate substance-use disorders into treatment mandates.
"Everybody has seen that she died, and most people assume that well, it must've been a heroin overdose," Grubb said. "But it wasn't. That wasn't what happened."
While the cause of death was, in fact, an overdose, it wasn't heroin. After unrelated surgery, Grubb was prescribed 50 pills of oxycodone, a powerful opiod pain medication. She was discharged from the hospital with an IV port in her arm that makes it easier to pump medications into a blood vessel. She never had a chance.
As word of her death spread, the letters poured in to her family. Among them was a handwritten note from Obama.
"Michelle and I want to offer our deepest condolences for the tragic loss of Jessie," the letter reads. "Your willingness to share your family's story left a powerful impression on me and has helped accelerate efforts to deal with this national epidemic of addiction."

David Grubb
There was a time before heroin took over Jessica Grubb's life. "She was an incredible achiever, she made straight-As, she was smart as a whip, involved in social change," her father said.
On March 19, 2003, she stood up and walked out of Capital High School, leading a handful of students with her. It was the first day of the war in Iraq. "On a day like this, business should not go on as usual," she said that day.
For her act of civil disobedience, she was rewarded with her first and only suspension -- three days.
It was a proud moment for her parents. David Grubb, the community organizer, had spent much of the 1970s working with Ralph Nader, then at the peak of his political power. "I felt like she was carrying on the tradition," her father said.
After high school, Jessica went to the University of North Carolina at Asheville. In her freshman year, she was the victim of a sexual assault that altered the trajectory of her life. She came home to West Virginia a changed person; a friend introduced her to heroin. "All her problems went away and she didn't feel any pain," explained David.
Jessica would spend the next seven years battling addiction, including four stints in rehab. Judah Walker, her former boyfriend, described her as fun, intelligent and artistic, but ultimately undone by an addictive personality. The two would spend days in a hotel room at the Best Western in Charleston, where he worked. Friends (two of whom have since died from overdoses) would come down from Columbus, Ohio, with dope.
"We would get high and eventually we needed it to feel normal," Walker said. "We both continued to do our art together and we would write a letter to each other every single day. She would read a lot, and I would read a lot too. We would walk all over the city."
At some point, Walker recalled, Grubb began stealing money from her parents to support her habit. They got her on a program in Charleston that provided suboxone, a synthetic opioid prescribed to help recovering addicts break the habit. But it didn't stick. One of the last times Walker saw her, he said, was when he dropped her off at her parent's doorstep in 2010.
"She was just completely out of it," he said.

Grubb's first overdose was on Aug. 15, 2015. Her mother found her blue on her bedroom floor, a tourniquet around her arm and a needle next to her. Paramedics revived her. "[I]t literally scared her to death," David Grubb said of his daughter. "I mean, she knew that it happened to other people, but I don't think she really thought it could happen to her, that she could control it."
Her parents got her into a long-term rehab clinic in Michigan called Dawn Farm, a working farm that embraces the principle of "abstinence-based" recovery -- meaning it shuns medication-assisted therapy, which scientific evidence says is the most effective form of treatment.
This is an increasingly anachronistic approach. An addict's brain can take years to heal. Getting clean without addressing the addiction itself can leave a person with relentless cravings. A relapse after a period of strict abstinence can often be the most dangerous kind, as the addict's tolerance for drugs is down. (An official at Dawn Farm said that some patients could use medication-assisted therapy on an individualized basis.)
"In a nutshell, we believe the benefits of maintenance medications are frequently overstated," Jason Schwartz, Dawn Farm clinical director, said in an email.
Jessica Grubb spent several weeks on the farm. At some point, the facility wouldn't let her continue, her father said, saying it couldn't deal with Grubb's addiction until she first addressed her eating disorder.
"For some reason, they felt like the anorexia problem had to be addressed before the drug problem," David Grubb said. "We begged them to let her stay, because there weren't any facilities that we could find anywhere near this area that really dealt with dual diagnosis. So she even went to a psychiatrist in Grand Rapids, who indicated to her he didn't think the eating disorder problem was her major problem, that the addiction was the more important one, and we were hoping armed with that information she'd be able to get back into Dawn."
Schwartz wouldn't comment specifically about Grubb because of confidentiality laws. In the past, he said, Dawn Farm has partnered with other providers to help patients with eating disorders. "Clients are never cut off because residential wasn't the right fit at a particular point in time," Schwartz said.
Even without Dawn Farm's help, Jessica Grubb seemed to thrive. She got fast-food jobs, found a roommate and an apartment in Ann Arbor, and went to regular meetings.
"I loved her, but I saw her pain," said Christina Thompson, who worked with Grubb at UNO Pizzeria & Grill prior to her time in Michigan. "Just like a lot of people, she was searching for something. … She was such a beautiful, unique soul. One of my true liberal-progressive friends. I was hoping she could beat this."
Through it all, Grubb continued long-distance running. Friends recalled she obsessively jogged, even during difficult patches of her life. It was a way to feel healthy, to feel like something other than an addict. But by the winter of 2016, the running had left her with an infection in her hip bone, requiring surgery.

She went to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor for the procedure. Her parents came to be with her, speaking with her doctors to make sure they knew of her addiction and recovery.
After surgery, she told her parents she felt great -- much better than she had the year before, when she'd had similar surgery.
"She'd been sober for six months, she was loving Ann Arbor, she had a tremendous support community there, and she said, '[Getting high is] the furthest thing from my mind. I'm not even thinking about that,'" her father said. "So we felt so good about everything."
Jessica Grubb loved to jog as a way to relieve the pangs of addiction.

In order to continue pumping antibiotics into her, the hospital sent Grubb home with a central catheter port in her arm. Her parents had objected, but the hospital said there was really no other way to manage her care.
"To us that was a real concern. When an IV drug user has easy access like that, it's just scary," said David Grubb.
On top of that, Jessica Grubb was given drugs. Without her parents' knowledge, she was discharged with a prescription for an extraordinarily powerful opiate -- oxycodone -- and filled it at the hospital.
"Jesse still had that addict's brain," said her father. "I think it was just too much temptation for her to resist."
On March 1, a home health aide showed Jessica Grubb how to use the catheter port and explained her treatment regimen. Her parents phoned that evening. "She said she was tired, she was sleepy, she felt good, she was glad to be home, glad to be in her own apartment, glad to be able to sleep in her own bed and she just wanted to get a good night's sleep and we could talk in the morning," Grubb said.
They didn't speak again.
The next day, the Grubbs called the hospital. The hospital suggested calling the police. "We did, and shortly thereafter we got a call from the police saying Jessie had passed," David Grubb said.
The official cause of death was "oxycodone toxicity," according to the pathology department at the University of Michigan. She was found unresponsive at an unknown time on March 3 at her residence.
In a statement on Monday, Laura Blodgett, a spokeswoman for the hospital, said the St. Joseph Mercy community sent "its deepest sympathies to this family." She said she was "unable to comment about patient information" due to issues of confidentiality.
"As a general matter," Blodgett added, "the hospital works proactively with many kinds of patients and families to best manage post-discharge complex pain needs."
David Grubb said the family hasn't heard from the hospital since his daughter's death.
After Jessica's death, her parents drove to Ann Arbor to pick up her things and to talk to the police. In her apartment, they discovered the prescription for the 50 pills.
"It had a discharging doctor's name. We had never met him," Grubb said. "So I called him and I asked him point-blank, did you know that she was a recovering addict? And there was kind of a long pause and he said no. He had no idea."
"I called him and I asked him point blank, did you know that she was a recovering addict? And there was kind of a long pause and he said no. He had no idea."

Later, her parents said they realized that strangers who had heard her story from the exchange with Obama, or from The Huffington Post article that followed, had begun pulling for her. Hundreds of letters came in. Church groups passed along condolences. Individuals reached out to say they were heartbroken.
David Grubb was stunned. The only newspaper that had reported his daughter's death was the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
But word spread quickly. Along with Obama, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, a West Virginia native, was at the Charleston event last fall and had been similarly moved. "I was just devastated," Burwell said. "I come from a state where I know these stories and they've been going on for far too long. And I was so hopeful, and then to hear that that had happened. For me, it just makes me all the more focused," she said.
Grubb's legacy could continue in several ways. She had always told her parents that if anything ever happened to them, she'd take care of their autistic daughter, her little sister Emma. In life, Grubb can't fulfill that promise. But she may in death. David and Kate Grubb said they haven't decided whether to sue the hospital. But if they do and prevail, they could put the proceeds toward a home for Emma and others in her situation.
"One of the things that could come from this is, maybe we could find a way to establish a residential facility for not just Emma, but for other similarly situated adult people who have either autism or other developmental disabilities," David Grubb said.
To that end, the family has established a memorial fund in Jessica Grubb's name.
In Washington, meanwhile, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who served with David Grubb in the state Senate and talked regularly with him since Jessica Grubb's death, has begun exploring the idea of a "Jessie's Law" that would prevent doctors from accidentally prescribing opioids to addicts without knowing about their medical background. Manchin said he had been in touch with top aides to the president, including White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, to discuss a holistic way to rethink how addicts receive medical treatment, in hopes of avoiding similar tragedies. On April 13, Manchin went to the Senate floor to talk about her story and advocate for "Jessie's Law."
"We are going to be working with all the hospitals and associations to find out how we can automatically, whether by federal law, identify these people so they are treated differently," Manchin said. "You can't throw that temptation at an addict. There is no way for them to handle it. It is done. It is over."
That the discharging doctor could so easily send a patient out of the hospital with a potentially fatal dose of opioids is a reflection of how the rhetoric around treating drug addiction as a "public health issue" hasn't gotten much beyond words.
"If you're allergic to penicillin, that goes on your record, and if a doctor comes in later and tries to write a prescription for penicillin, it's blocked, you can't do it," said David Grubb. "And the same is true with drugs that interact with one another improperly. Anytime you do that, it's part of the medical records and they're all electronic."
This isn't the case with opioids. Addiction is barely taught in medical schools, and being in recovery isn't routinely thought of as a pre-existing condition.
Jessica Grubb's legacy may find its way into federal legislation. But it also lives on with the president.
On Tuesday, Obama will travel to Atlanta for his second major address on the opioid crisis (the first since Charleston), where he'll announce significant policy changes that could offer a lifeline to those still struggling, but still alive.

West Park Hospital Preparing Deal for Veterans Clinic in Cody
Written by Andrew-Rossi on August 17, 2017
A new VA Clinic could be opening in Cody soon.
West Park Hospital CEO Doug McMillan confirmed yesterday that Valor Health, who recently won the bid for the Big Horn Basin's VA Community Outreach Clinic, is considering moving its operation to Cody.
In an interview yesterday with Penny Preston of KULR-8 News, McMillan said that a representative from Valor has looked at the facility in the Cody Medical Arts Complex, which used to be occupied by Gottsche Rehab, and a deal could be made as soon as tomorrow.
http://dehayf5mhw1h7.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/761/2017/08/17093843/McMillan-VA-Valor.mp3 McMillan commented that having a VA Clinic in Cody is beneficial to any veterans living in the Big Horn Basin.
http://dehayf5mhw1h7.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/761/2017/08/17093926/McMillan-Benefits-VA.mp3 Powell Valley Health Care announced recently that they would no longer be providing Veteran's Affairs services for the Basin, effective November 30th.
Valor Health already operates more than 30 VA health facilities across the country.

So you want to try your hand at DIY finger nail art but where will you start? The first thing you need to do is get your hands on some basic claw art tools. This is a summary of my 5 essential DO IT YOURSELF nail art tools. he essentials are: a base topcoat (to prevent nail discolouration and allow your nail gloss to glide on smoothly), nail polish, and a top coat (to ensure your manicure lasts for more than a day). I like to use a quick blow drying top coat cos that saves oodles of time and is indeed convenient to use, but it's also very good to have a normal top fur or clear polish at your fingertips for certain more complex nail designs.

About 15 years ago, two students and five professors of IIT, Delhi, had made an 'under vehicle scanning system' during an incubation programme. In August 2005, they incorporated a company called 'Kritikal SecureScan' and, within two years (2007), got their first order for the residence of Karnataka's chief minister. The rest, as they say, is history.
The company (which was renamed Vehant Technologies in 2016) has its scanning equipment installed across 700 prominent places in India, which includes the Parliament House, Kolkata High Court, Maharashtra Police, Indian Army, India Railways and Airports Authority of India, among many others.
"We are also present in eight other countries globally (including Kenya, Cameroon, Nigeria)," says Kapil Bardeja, co-founder & CEO, Vehant Technologies. "The products we make are under two categories – city systems (security and surveillance) and traffic enforcement and management under smart cities." Bardeja had earlier worked for McKinsey & Co and has a Master of Management from IIT Delhi.
Vehant Technologies, which is a privately held company, had a turnover of Rs65 crore in 2019-20. The management is optimistic that the company will grow at 30 per cent year on year. The prices of its products range from Rs15 lakh to Rs25 lakh and above.
Adding new products
"As we grew, we continued to add products, which included number plate cameras, cameras for mapping vehicle speed, no-helmet detection cameras, and so on," says Bardeja. "Till 2015, all X-ray scanners in India were being imported. This changed when we developed an X-ray scanner under the dual view and single view system. Since 2016, we have sold about 500 X-ray baggage scanners." The stock exchange in Greece also uses Vehant's under-vehicle scanners, he adds.
Vehant has two manufacturing units – the first one located in Una, Himachal Pradesh, built in 2007 at a cost of Rs70 lakh; and the second unit, set up in Greater Noida in 2019, which cost Rs50 lakh. The company's current manufacturing capacity for x-ray baggage scanners (XBS) and under-vehicle scanning systems (UVSS) is 300 units in each factory every year and, by the end of the ongoing year, the tally should increase to 400.
Interestingly, the outbreak of the pandemic has led even more business opportunities for Vehant, with the company launching face mask detection cameras and thermal cameras for detecting temperature. "During the pandemic, we installed Vehant Technologies' 'FebriEye' at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in Mumbai," says a security officer in CSMT, Mumbai. "We have been able to detect quite a few passengers whose body temperatures were above normal and, hence, they were not allowed to travel by train."
Control your speed, you are watched
"We have also launched UV baggage disinfection systems for airports and railways," says Anoop G Prabhu, co-founder & CTO, Vehant. "This equipment fit in front of the X-ray baggage scanner." Prabhu, who is a Master of Technology from IIT Delhi, is responsible for aligning the company's technical competence with emerging trends and futuristic technologies. He founded Vehant Technologies after a successful stint at Mobileye Vision Technologies (a technology start-up in Israel) and IBM India Research Lab. The UV baggage disinfection system has been exported to Zurich and the Philippines too.
"We generated 10 per cent of our total revenue from exports in 2019-20 and are optimistic this will increase to 20 per cent within the next two years," says Prabhu.
"We are the first Indian manufacturer to have cleared all technical parameters of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to deploy dual view X-ray baggage scanners," adds Bardeja. "And we have deployed these machines in Kolkata, Patna and Udaipur for safety check-ins at airports. "Kritiscan X-ray baggage scanners of Vehant have been installed at various metro stations in Kolkata and they are working well," says a telecom engineer from Kolkata Metro Railways.
There are three international companies (Smiths Detection, Rapiscan, 3D X-ray and Astrophysics) and four Indian companies (Vehant Technologies, Evolve, Krystan Vision and Siddhalakshmi) at present which install scanners in India.

Q: Относятся ли повторитель и концентратор к устройствам коммутации компьютерной сети? Относятся ли повторитель и концентратор к устройствам коммутации компьютерной сети? Мост и коммутатор подходят, а вот с этими устройствами (повторитель и концентратор) немного запутался

A: Всегда надо начинать с определений. Обычно их штук сто различных и не факт, что случайно выбранное понравится преподавателю, например.
Но если взять определение из Википедии, то:
"Коммута́ция в компьютерной сети — процесс соединения абонентов такой сети через транзитные узлы".
И повторитель и концентратор являются транзитными узлами? Да.
А соединение идет через них? Тоже зависит от определения, но в общем случае - да.
Тогда и повторитель и концентратор относятся к устройствам коммутации.
Но как только в определении коммутации появится хоть что-то про логику коммутации, то они перестанут относиться к таким устройствам, так как логикой в них особо не пахнет:-)


The full episode airs this Friday, and we could not be more excited!
Carpool Karaoke is, hands down, our favourite segment on Late Night TV. Seeing our favourite singers and actors performing their favourite songs while driving around? What's not to love!? And we can't wait for the next episode, featuring the stars of the upcoming Elton John biopic, Rocketman, Taron Egerton and Richard Madden.
Taron Egerton, who many will recognize as Eggsy from Kingsman: The Secret Service, is playing Elton John while Richard Madden, who many know as Robb Stark from Game Of Thrones, is playing John Reid. And their episode of Carpool Karaoke promises to be hilarious! At one point, Egerton will be wearing the most outlandish outfit you can think of, and he is not happy about it!
When on The Late Late Show, Egerton revealed to James Corden that both he and Madden got 'blind drunk' the night before they filmed their episode. Apparently a great bonding experience, and don't worry! He sobered up before he had to drive!
Watch the hilarious clip down below.
Taron Egerton and Richard Madden's Episode Of Carpool Karaoke Airs This Friday.

Bold Step: Reparations Movements Make International Connections
By Linn Washington (Page 1 of 2 pages) 2 comments
Dignitaries from three continents gathered in New York City recently to sharpen their strategies to confront some of the world's most powerful nations over a subject that sizeable numbers of citizens support in the nearly two-dozen nations those dignitaries represent: reparations for deprivations from slavery, colonialism and legal segregation.
Those dignitaries, that included ambassadors and legislators, along with luminary activists and legal experts, participated in the three-day International Reparations Summit convened by the Institute of the Black World 21st Century, a research, policy and advocacy organization based in the United States.
Dr. Ron Daniels, President of the Institute, stated, "We are delighted that the Institute of the Black World can be a clearinghouse for ideas and strategies on how to pursue reparations for historical crimes and injustices against people of African descent in the U.S. and across the Americas."
An action in 2013 reenergized reparations activities already operative in the U.S., throughout the Americas, in Africa and in Europe. That is when CARICOM, the organization of Caribbean nations, announced its plans to mount actions against former European colonial countries for native the slave trade, colonialism and genocide against indigenous peoples. That was the first time that a collection of countries agreed on taking coordinated action for reparations.
"We have a just cause. And we have a duty to right the wrongs done during the slave trade, slavery and colonialism," CARICOM representative Dr. Douglas Slater said during the opening session of the Summit. "Today, racism continues to impede development of African peoples all over the world."
The Summit featured a special recognition honoring U.S. Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.) who, in January 1989, introduced a measure in Congress to establish a national commission to study the issue of reparations in the United States. However, Congressional leaders -- Republicans and Democrats -- have persistently refused to even allow a vote on Conyers' measure that would simply study the issue of reparations, not directly allocate monetary or other compensation.
Iconic civil rights activist, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, blasted the failure of Congress to even consider the Conyers measure as yet another example of the America's "denial" on the subject of reparations during his keynote address at the Summit's opening session.
"Reparations -- which is the repair for damage done -- is an 'unspeakable' topic in the United States," Jackson said during his address at the historic Mother AME Zion Church in Harlem. Members of that church, founded in 1796, have included the legendary Paul Robeson, a supporter of reparations.
"The period in the U.S. between 1880 and 1950 was worse that slavery," Jackson said. "There were over 5,000 blacks lynched during that period and many lynching took place after church on Sunday where whole families would watch the brutality. Lynching was terrorism."
Efforts by African-Americans to obtain some form of reparations for slavery began in the mid-1800s, initially with demands for land for the freed slaves as compensation for their unpaid labor.
In 1893, AME Church Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, an advocate of emigration to Africa, stated in a speech that America owed blacks "forty billion dollars for daily work performed"work done and service rendered."
Efforts around the turn of the 20th Century to obtain pensions for ex-slaves never gained approval in Congress, despite support for such pensions from a few white Congressmen. Federal government opposition to those pensions produced imprisonment of some black leaders of that movement for pensioning ex-slaves.
Federal imprisonment was the punishment for the 'Father' of America's modern reparations movement -- Imari Obadele. In 1968 Obadele and an older brother of his, delivered letters to the White House and State Department demanding $400-billion in reparations.
That demand for reparations resulted in the FBI targeting Obadele for its infamous COINTELPRO, that illegal covert campaign to crush domestic dissent. Obadele's federal imprisonment, based on a corrupted conviction, resulted in his 1978 designation as a political prisoner by Amnesty International. Obadele was among the first group of Americans ever-designated political prisoners by Amnesty International. (American officials continue to deny the existence of political prisoners in U.S. jails despite some being captives still held on COINTELPRO tainted convictions.)
Louis-Georges Tin, an anti-racism and reparations activist in France, said he travelled to the Summit with a delegation from the European Reparation Commission to establish closer connections with other reparations activists.
"We did a survey in 2012 of French Overseas Territories and 63 percent of the population favored reparations," Tin said. "Before that survey, people told me there was low support for reparations. We are pleased with this result."

MAAS Aviation, one of the world's leading aircraft painting specialists, partners with the Mobile Airport Authority to take on the MRO market in the Americas.
The Mobile Airport Authority is pleased to announce it has entered into a partnership with MAAS Aviation to construct a new $39 million dollar twin bay paint facility at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley. This is in addition to the soon to be completed facility on the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility site. It will focus on the commercial Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) market in the Americas. The approximate 2 acre site is ideally situated between Airbus to the South, VTMAE MRO hangar complex to the North, and to the west by the Continental Motors Services (general aviation and business jet MRO) operations. The approximate year-long construction of the state-of-the-art and environmentally sensitive facility will commence in the fall of 2015 with the first aircraft to be painted in October 2016.
MAAS estimates the creation of over 80 new, full-time jobs at its multiple aircraft painting facilities at the Mobile Aeroplex and will be offering extensive training in accordance with the company's well established and industry leading programs.
Roger Wehner, Executive Director of Mobile Airport Authority commented, "We are very happy with the partnership we have forged with MAAS over the last year; they are a world class partner and we have been impressed by their internal focus on process and training. The design process has included many embedded quality and efficiency elements which we believe contributes to their ability to compete on quality and speed, providing considerable value to operators.
"Airbus welcomes these new companies to the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley! It's great that the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility has helped to draw them to Mobile, which has so much to offer. Together we will help Mobile grow into world-class aerospace center, and hopefully welcome even more 'new neighbors' as we move forward," said Allan McArtor, Chairman-Airbus Group, Inc.


While the performance part of the Smithsonian Shadow Family Night was fun and successful, we had just as much fun working with the many children and their families who came to our table to make shadow puppets and try them out on a simple screen. Shadow puppets are one of the simplest kinds of puppets to make–all you need is some thick paper, scissors, tape and something to be a control rod. We had very small children whose parents cut out their fish or bear puppet and older kids who insisted on doing everything themselves. The screen and lights were enough to keep some participants busy the entire time, as the picture below shows, you really only need your hands and a light to have a good time with a shadow screen!
Most kids stuck with the stencils that we provided, and made their own adjustments using scissors to make (among other creatures) a fish with circular scales, a bear with jagged hair or a 'dolphin-butterfly.' However, we had two older girls who decided to leap past all of those and instead create unicorns, grass, a huge butterfly and a rainbow, to tell their own stories. We were blown away by their creativity and meticulous attention to detail and remembered once again how perfect puppetry is for letting people accomplish as much as they like through imagination.
The lovely unicorns and green fields designed by workshop participants.
What DOES a shadow of a rainbow look like?

Not many things are more American than debt. If you really think about it, it's amazing how easily we as a nation became so comfortable with it. We've gone so far as to classify our debts as good (student loans) and bad (credit cards) with so many things in between (mortgages, car notes, medical, etc.). Yet all of us struggle with the negative emotions attached to our money, especially our debt. And we find ourselves making major life choices based on the state of our finances.
You have a responsibility to go to work and pay that debt down until its paid in full. This causes you to put money in the spotlight, along with how many hours you work, how much you make, how hard it is to get ahead, etc. And don't let something bad happen – a dead car battery, a busted furnace, a medical emergency – because you have to both take care of both your "right now" issues and still pay your debt.
Those statements above are examples of ways we trick ourselves into thinking we're doing something good. Drastically cutting spending or staying at a job we hate to pay off debt on the surface are great ideas. In practice, it's impossibly difficult and it invites negativity. We're essentially punishing ourselves right now for our past choices. Some people take a total opposite approach and choose to spend freely on themselves and the people they care about, even if that is at the expense of their own financial stability.
These negative thoughts wrapped in seemingly positive actions do more damage than they do good. Debt has a strong affect on our psyche. Fortunately for us, however, our minds are incredibly powerful. We need to start using that to our advantage, not our detriment.
Are you ready to tackle your debt and other financial obstacles? Don't let your head be filled with anything but positive thoughts. Remember, positive thoughts lead to positive actions. Our perceptions create our reality. Learn to recognize self-defeating thoughts and words. It makes an enormous difference in your ability to make changes in your life – financial or otherwise.


After having spent a wonderful week in Copenhagen and Stockholm, we made our way to Bergen, Norway. We were really excited about Norway, as we had heard and seen (online!) wonderful things about the country. And it didn't let us down.
Bergen was absolutely spectacular. A sight for sore eyes. We landed there early morning and took the bus into the city. We were greeted with views that simply took our breathe away. We spent our ways walking through the alleys, climbing the mountains, viewing this glorious sunset, among other things. This definitely goes on my list of most beautiful cities in the world. Don't take my word for it. Click on the link below and see it for yourself. Scroll down to see more pictures from Bergen.

Q: Disable an option in select element in jquery I just want to disable a specific option within select element when it is already selected using jQuery.
If a country is already selected in a row, you cannot select it again to different rows, and vice versa. This functionality should also be applied when adding rows.
My problem is even if I added the validation when select on change triggered, it is not working, I still can choose the same country.
Please see my code below.

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.btn-add').on('click', function() {
    var lastRow = $('table tr.content:last').html();

    $('table').append('
' + lastRow + '
');

    deleteRow();

    $('tr.content:last select.country').val("");

    $('select').each(function() {
      if ($(this).val() == $('select:selected').val()) {
        $(this).attr('disable');
        alert("Sorry, you cannot select the same country.");
        return false;
      }
    });
  });

  $('select.country').on('change', function() {
    $('select').each(function() {
      if ($(this).val() == $('select:selected').val()) {
        $(this).attr('disable');
        alert("Sorry, you cannot select the same country.");
        return false;
      }
    });
  });

  deleteRow();

A: There is no use of the attribute class used in the option element. Change that to value. You do not need to use each() to disable specific option. Take the value of previous option selected so that you can use that value to identify the right option to set the disabled property.
You can try the following:

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.btn-add').on('click', function(e) {
    var prevVal = $('select.country').last().val();
    var lastRow = $('table tr.content:last').html();
    if(!prevVal){
      alert('Country not selected');
      return false;
    }
    $('select.country').trigger('change');
    $('table').append('
' + lastRow + '
');
    $('tr.content:last select.country').val('');
    $('tr.content:last').find('option[value='+prevVal+']').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

  });

  $('select.country').on('change', function() {
    $('select').each(function() {
      if ($(this).val() == $('select:selected').val()) {
        $(this).attr('disable');
        alert("Sorry, you cannot select the same country.");
        return false;
      }
    });
  });

  $('body').on('click','.btn-delete', function() {
    if($('tbody>tr').length == 1)
      alert('Single row can not be deleted');
    else if($(this).closest('tr').is(":last-child"))
      $(this).closest('tr').remove();
    else
      alert('You are allowed to delete only the last row');

Meghan Markle for President? Royal filmmaker says the Duchess of Sussex could take on a POLITICAL role in the US - insisting she is 'not going to stop with just being a royal'
Could Meghan Markle have a future in politics? One British television producer seems to think so.
Nick Bullen, who has been making programs about the royal family for almost two decades and has worked closely with Prince Charles, said this week that 'anything is possible' for the Duchess of Sussex, 38, who is 'rewriting the royal rule book' and 'determined to make a difference'.
'I could see her going down that route because she's not going to stop with just being the Duchess of Sussex,' he told Fox News said. 'There's much more to Meghan and I think we're only just beginning to see the early days of what Meghan Markle will really do now that she has this global platform.'
In the running? British television producer Nick Bullen thinks Meghan Markle may have a future in politics
Bullen noted that Meghan has retained her US citizenship, and said he could see her going into politics or taking on a humanitarian ambassador's role in the US.
In a new documentary called 'Meghan for President?' he highlights her history of advocating for gender and racial equality and also helping people in need — things, he said, that point to a possible future in politics.
'The most surprising thing in the documentary was how early in her life Meghan started to make a difference and how important change was to her,' he said.
'And one of the things we found was back at the age of about 10 when she was in her school in Hollywood, she organized a protest against the Gulf War because a little boy in her class, his older brother, was going to fight.
'And this little boy was really upset and worried. Meghan wanted to make him feel better. So she organized this campaign against the war. We found this footage that hasn't been seen for years.'
Meghan moving into politics would certainly be an unprecedented move for a member of the royal family, which is staunchly apolitical.
Of course, Meghan has never publicly expressed a desire to go into politics, and Bullen is not basing his supposition on a discussion with her.
But the idea has served as entertaining fodder for some, including those who knew her before her marriage.
Liz Kores, Meghan's sorority sister from Northwestern, says in the new documentary that she would make a 'phenomenal' president if she ever chose to run, citing her enthusiasm for volunteering.
Vanity Fair reports that Meghan's former teacher, Ilise Faye, also spoke about her in the doc.
'She was one of those children that would stand up for underdog, she would stand up for what she believed in, and she was a leader amongst her friends, her peer group,' she said.
Palace sources, however, told the publication that she will never run for President of the United States.
Bullen also noted that Meghan and Prince Harry may soon have a second home in the US.
'I hear from people who know them well that they are house-hunting in California and they're coming over for Thanksgiving,' he said.
'Meghan's really keen that Archie grows up understanding his American roots. Her American heritage is incredibly important to her, so I can see a world in which they probably have three bases — the base in the UK for their royal duties, a base in the states for their global work, and then also possibly somewhere in Africa because Africa is incredibly important to both of them.'
Reports that the couple plans to buy a home in the US first surfaced this spring.
'Meghan definitely wants a place in Los Angeles — she loves the city, the lifestyle and climate,' a source told The Sun. 'Ultimately, she is a California girl and can breathe easier there.
'Spending time there would also allow her some freedom and independence from both the Palace and the Press — and more control over her life and the people around her,' the publication reported. 'She is a duchess in the UK, but could be a queen in LA.'

Free online jigsaw puzzle of a bridge connecting St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois. The bridge is called the Martin Luther King Bridge.
I had to check Wikipedia to see if I had ever been across this bridge. I don't think so, unless it was when I was pretty young. At one time, US 40 and US 66 went across this bridge. Every year for our vacation, we traveled through St. Louis going to visit family in Michigan and family friends in West Virginia. I vaguely remember the arch when it was still being built.
This is such a pretty picture. It was kind of hard for me with all of the blue.

David Rakoff: Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish
Kevin McFarland
BooksReviews
Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish
David Rakoff
David Rakoff belonged to the stable of contributors on This American Life since the show's inception, and Ira Glass' long-running public radio program delivered one of its most heartfelt and personal episodes in the wake of Rakoff's death from cancer last summer. In the final months of his life, Rakoff hurried to finish his first novel, and even recorded the audiobook, which was hauntingly previewed in that TAL episode and in the book trailer. That novel, Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish, isn't the crowning achievement of Rakoff's tragically short career. If anything, from the light page count and narrative gaps between sections, there is little doubt that Rakoff had intended for there to be more to the story, then life intervened. But it serves as a fitting capstone to a man rushing to wring a lightly linked series of stories together in a unique poetic structure.
The book sweeps across many different locations over the course of the 20th century—from Chicago slaughterhouses in the 1920s to pre-film-studio Burbank, when southern California was still filled with orange groves, to San Francisco just as it was becoming a haven of gay culture. Only one character recurs throughout the book as the focus of multiple passages. Clifford enters the novel as a young man taking art classes and befriending his cousin Helen by drawing her portrait. When the book returns to Clifford, he's a gay artist in San Francisco drawing dirty comics inspired by Batman and Robin (think "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" but more graphic). And further down the road, Clifford watches as his friends are "dropping like flies" at the outset of the AIDS epidemic.
That's the mixture Rakoff aims for: delightful and brief moments of happiness in equal balance with personal tragedy, cherry picked from many different lives, with a silver lining of wryly black humor. Rakoff deliberately uses the Seussian meter to contrast with dark subject matter. The book opens with a haunting chapter of a girl who is abused by her menacing, perpetually drunk stepfather, then flees across the country by hopping a freight train, never seen or heard from again. Rakoff leaves a trail of crumbs from that scene through the rest, loosely connecting everyone while never hinting at the significance.
The central scene is also the book's most well-known to anyone familiar with Rakoff's work: a toast given by a broken man at the wedding of his best friend and ex-girlfriend. It was previously performed on This American Life as "The Tale Of The Scorpion And The Tortoise." It contains everything wonderful about Rakoff's writing: the sense of getting so invested in the story that all seems lost, at which time the point emerges from almost nowhere, followed almost immediately by a joke so obvious it shouldn't be so funny. And Rakoff never lets himself be limited by the meter, poking fun at the need to keep poetic rhythm within the narrative. ("Your grandfather, Clifford, could sure make a mess / Of a perfectly good situa…I digress.")
Rakoff's elliptical connection from the early sections of the novel to the very end is cute, and structurally pleasing, emphasizing the simple thematic underpinning that coincidental ties can bind unlikely groups of people throughout time. But Love, Dishonor… can't shake the phantom-limb sensation. It's just not the book it would have been had Rakoff been afforded the amount of time he needed.
As a final testament to Rakoff's skill of bringing a light and humorous attitude to unflinchingly dark subject matter, it makes near-perfect sense. And the illustrations by Seth—the cartoonist behind Palookaville and the artwork for Lemony Snicket's Who Could That Be At This Hour?—render the characters in the same tone as the meter: a little silly, just unrealistic enough to come across as fractured fairy tale inhabitants instead of realistic people. Rakoff finds a scene to hit every word of the title, encompassing several of the traditional emotional actions in the life of a person. But his real gift is the light-touch medicinal humor threaded into the poetic patchwork, the cheerfulness Rakoff exhibited through to the end.
