Kate Spade was a designer whose name was synonymous with style and fun.
Anthony Bourdain was a celebrity chef and TV host who seemed to be at the top of his game, traveling the globe eating at exotic locales and connecting with people.
Yet they both ended their own lives.

Their deaths, combined with new data showing suicide rates are increasing in the United States, have shown that celebrity and success are no barrier to suicide.
Emotional troubles don't pay attention to income, and people who seem to "have it all" can also have the mental health difficulties that cause people to kill themselves.
"Whether you're at church or at school or in an office, some portion of the room is having thoughts of suicide, now or recently," said Dr. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). "The fact is that if you think your life has not been touched by suicide ever, it probably means that it's just not being talked about."

The stress of modern life has us on a treadmill of daily routine, a disappearing work-life balance and never-ending screen time. We're also jumping on that treadmill without the historical safety nets of tight-knit social groups and social services to catch us.
There is also the social stigma that surrounds talking about topics like depression, anxiety, therapy and suicide, leaving us unsure about what we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Mental health encompasses not just depression and anxiety, but also wellness and joy and meaning and connection in life.
There are things you can do every day to not just stay afloat but thrive as a happier, more joyful person.

6 steps you can take now to protect your mental health
1. Have real conversations
Your friend who has the great job and busy social life may seem like she has it all, but in reality be hiding under the covers when she gets home at night.
You will never know if you only talk about the weather or what you did last night when you meet her for coffee or brunch.

Having what Moutier calls "real conversations" with friends and family now can both provide the connections that give life meaning and protect you in a crisis.
"Real conversations" means communicating in whatever form you want -- send a text, pick up the phone or meet for coffee -- but in a way that moves beyond the superficial of "I'm okay," or "I'm just busy," to talking about hopes, dreams and challenges.
It means if someone asks how you are doing, you don't gloss over the difficulties that everyone encounters. Likewise, if someone you know says simply, "I'm fine," you feel comfortable asking more questions.
"You'll be amazed at how that feels when you get to connect to the people in your life on that deeper level," she said. "Once we're able to do that, then when we hit a more serious time, we've created that foundation and we know who's trustworthy and can handle it."
If you have trouble opening up to friends and family, a mental health professional can be an independent, confidential person in whom to confide.
"There is effective treatment available and there is hope," said Dr. Selena Snow, founder of the Snow Psychology Group.
2. Build your own safety net
Identifying the activities that bring you joy and the people you can speak to openly creates an important network of support, experts say.
When you write down the things you like to do -- whether it's journaling, dancing, exercising, walking, meditating, reading -- and the people you can call in a moment's notice -- friends, family, co-workers, neighbors -- you have created a safety net for yourself.
You now have an actionable list you can turn to again and again.
You can write it out on paper or via a free app like My Coping Plan.
3. Snap back into the moment
Doing something physical when you're stressed or feeling hopeless can snap you back into the moment.
Pull a rubber band out of your desk drawer and put it on your wrist so you can snap it when you need to re-focus your energy. A splash of cold water on your face will have the same effect, according to Moutier.

Snow recommends keeping a rock on hand that you can hold on to when you need to reconnect. The coolness of the rock can help bring you back in the moment.
4. Schedule a workout
After a stressful day at work or a weekend of indulging when you feel out of sorts, it's exercise that can zap you out of that mode.
If exercise becomes a regular part of your life, it is medically proven to help more consistently keep those moods at bay.
Regular exercise can promote nerve cell growth in the part of your brain that helps regulate mood, research shows.

The key is to pick an activity that you won't dread doing every day, and one that you can continue doing for the long-haul, experts say.
Even better, schedule a workout date with a friend or loved one so you can sweat and connect together.
5. Eat mood-boosting power foods
Healthy eating -- fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and whole grains -- has been linked in studies to lower the risk of depression and even suicide.
One theory, backed by new research released in January, is that increased inflammation in the body could play a role in depression.
Tomatoes, olive oil, green leafy vegetables, nuts, fish like salmon and sardines and fruits like oranges and strawberries are all foods that fight inflammation, according to Harvard Medical School.
In another recent study, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet -- low in foods with saturated fat and sugar -- was found to reduce the risk of depression later in life.

The DASH diet, ranked as the No. 1 overall diet by U.S. News and World Report for eight consecutive rankings, is rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grain, lean protein and low-fat dairy.
6. Be proactive
Think of suicide as a public health risk. In medicine, if a mom has breast cancer, her daughters are instructed to get more regular mammograms.
The same should be true for mental health, both Snow and Moutier agree. Though it may be difficult, families should talk openly about their mental health and the tools they use to overcome difficulties.
A family history of mental illness should not be ignored. Depression does have a genetic component.
"We can make choices and get very smart about how we tick," Moutier said. "We've been socialized so that if you're at all capable of doing it, you hide these forms of distress. We need to be more aware."
If you are in crisis or know someone in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860 (U.S.) or 877-330-6366 (Canada) and The Trevor Project at 866-488-7386.

Jim Bohannon talks to special guests and his loyal callers about a spectrum of topics ranging from current events and politics to entertainment and pop culture. Jim is on the air with the newsmakers who are on the scene.
Join the conversation by calling 1-866-50-JIMBO / 1-866-505-4626 as we air live each weeknight from 10 pm to 1 am Eastern Time (or e-mail us!).
Jim Bohannon, host of WestwoodOne's The Jim Bohannon Show, is one of America's top radio personalities. Voted one of "The 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America" by Talkers Magazine three years in a row, the Jim Bohannon Show can be heard from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. (ET) Monday through Friday on over 300 radio stations across the nation.Bohannon describes himself as a "militant moderate" delivering his wit, wisdom and natural charm to listeners across the nation. The Jim Bohannon Show brings listeners a unique blend of breaking news, interesting features and informative reports on a spectrum of topics. Bohannon also talks to special guests and his loyal callers live, offering humor and compassion.
In addition to the Jim Bohannon Show, Bohannon is host of the early morning weekday news magazine, America in the Morning, as well as America This Week, and his unpredictable feature, The Offbeat, which is heard as a part of all three of Jim's shows.
A 50-year-plus broadcasting veteran, Bohannon began his career in 1960 at his hometown station, KLWT-AM, Lebanon, MO. After college at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield and service in the U.S. Army, he moved to Washington where he worked at Easy Listening WGAY-FM and News-Talkers WTOP-AM and WWRC-AM. He later moved to Chicago in 1980 where he worked as a morning anchor at WCFL-FM Radio and as a freelance reporter for Cable News Network.
Bohannon hosted his own Saturday night phone-in program and served as the principal back-up for Larry King on the Larry King Show. In February of 1993, Bohannon took-over the prestigious nighttime talk show slot formerly held by King.
Bohannon joined WestwoodOne in 1983 and has anchored newscasts, political conventions and election night coverage in addition to his weekday programs.
Jim Bohannon was nominated for the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Marconi Radio Award for the Network Syndicated Personality of the Year. He is a recipient of a Special Recognition First Amendment Award from the Radio Television Digital News Association and was named by the TALKERS magazine editorial board as the 2013 recipient of the publication's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
Walt Hassett
Walt Hassett is the first person we call when Ted or Bill need some time off or they're sent on some outside assignment. Walt is a Navy brat who was born in San Diego, CA, and raised in Honolulu, HI, which accounts for him wearing Hawaiian shirts even in the dead of winter. Walt will also occasionally get the assignment to fill in for Paul screening phone calls. (Versatile, ain't he?) He has worked for Westwood One on and off for more years than most people would care to admit.
Paul Hill
Paul Hill has been producing The Jim Bohannon Show since the end of January, 2004. While the JBS is Paul's first full-scale producing gig, he's been with Westwood One (and its predecessor in the network radio business, the Mutual Broadcasting System) on and off-but mostly on-since December, 1979. After a few years of on-air work at radio stations from South Carolina to Pennsylvania, Paul spent over twenty years in the Operations Department of the network, first as a technician, for a short time as a producer, and for the bulk of the time as a scheduling and computer specialist. He also spent time at one of the network's traffic reporting divisions, SmartRoute Systems. In addition to producing Jim's nightly talk show, Paul is Associate Producer for Jim's morning news magazine program America in the Morning, prepares news material for Westwood One's NBC News Radio service, and every now and then fills in as producer of both AITM and Westwood One's other morning program, First Light. Outside of the studio, Paul's interests include baseball and game shows (especially quiz programs-none of that @#&% "reality" stuff for him!). Paul's wife Debby works at the National Institute for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, one of the National Institutes of Health. They met at college (Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA), where being blind didn't stop Debby from becoming one of the best Top 40 Radio disc jockeys ever heard on college radio. Paul and Debby live in Alexandria, VA.
Bill Pimble
Bill Pimble is the Friday night engineer for The Jim Bohannon Show. He also engineers the network's Lars Larson Show each weeknight. Bill is our in-house computer guy-if there's a problem with what Jimbo only half-jokingly refers to as our 'steam-powered' computers, Bill is the man who makes things right again. He's been with Westwood One (and predecessor company Mutual Broadcasting) longer than any of us. Bill and his wife Lorna have two kids, Christopher and Matthew. The Pimble homestead is in Landover, MD, within 'spitting distance,' Bill says, of FedEx Field. Given the Washington Redskins performance since moving there, that may be the correct response.

Burton N. Stodghill, MD
Dr. Burton "Burt" N. Stodghill joined the Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky in its earliest days and helped expand access to quality orthopedic care in the region. He died on March 2, 2017, during a scuba diving accident.
Dr. Stodghill graduated from Paducah Tilghman High School in 1988 and Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1992. In 1996, he earned a medical degree from the University of Louisville.
In 2001, Dr. Stodghill completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Louisville and became board-certified in this area. He began practicing in Paducah, his hometown, before becoming a founding partner of The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky in 2009.
Patients and coworkers loved Dr. Stodghill, appreciating his jokes, gifts, and kindness. Our Coding Department staff still talks about the funny things he did, including his antics during the annual Christmas Elf on the Shelf Battle. He won every year.
Everyone at the Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky still misses Dr. Stodgehill and the joy and laughter he encouraged every day.

Q: Slices of a hypercube Take the unit $d$-cube with vertices $\{0,1\}^d$, and restrict to the vertices that lie between (or within one of) a pair of parallel hyperplanes. These vertices form a graph whose edges are the edges of the cube, i.e. there is an edge joining two vertices if they differ in one coordinate.
For example, if $d=3$ and the bounding hyperplanes are $x+2y+2z=1$ and $x+2y+2z=3$, then the graph is $P_5$ embedded as $(0,1,0)–(1,1,0)–(1,0,0)–(1,0,1)–(0,0,1)$.
Is anything known about such graphs? In particular, is anything known about their diameter (or the diameter of their connected components, for the disconnected ones)? Is there such a graph that has a connected component whose diameter exceeds $2d$, say?

The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) is the premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of artificial intelligence called representation learning, but generally referred to as deep learning.
ICLR is globally renowned for presenting and publishing cutting-edge research on all aspects of deep learning used in the fields of artificial intelligence, statistics and data science, as well as important application areas such as machine vision, computational biology, speech recognition, text understanding, gaming, and robotics.
ICLR is one of the fastest growing artificial intelligence conferences in the world. Between May 6 and May 9, 2019, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, ICLR will host over 4,000 participants. Participants at ICLR span a wide range of backgrounds, from academic and industrial researchers, to entrepreneurs and engineers, to graduate students and postdocs.
The rapidly developing field of deep learning is concerned with questions surrounding how we can best learn meaningful and useful representations of data. ICLR takes a broad view of the field and includes topics such as feature learning, metric learning, compositional modeling, structured prediction, reinforcement learning, and issues regarding large-scale learning and non-convex optimization.


We pulled in without a reservation and they had several sites available in a small wooded area which had more shade and privacy than the open area where many long term RV's were parked. We had electricity and water for about $42 per night. The people in the main office were very friendly and helpful, especially in trying to speak English to compensate for my awful French! The park is clean and well-organized with rather small spaces. I can imagine in the summer it might seem crowded, but it was quiet and peaceful for us. WIFI is pretty good. The restrooms and showers are spacious and clean (a quarter for 3 minutes). There's a free shuttle at 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to take you to the ferry. We chose to drive there--about 15 minutes. It cost $8 per day to park and about $6.40 each for a round trip ticket to take the 10 minute ferry. It sure beats driving and searching for parking in the city! This is a nice convenient campground, and I would highly recommend it!
Campsite easy to get to off highway. Good signage. We were parked next to the highway but the noise did not bother us. Loved the free shuttle to the ferry. Make sure you get a round trip ticket so that you do not have to line up on your return trip. Clean campsite although busy. Good for a couple of nights.
We stayed here a week, which worked out to $43/night for a full-service 50-amp pull-thru. The sites are easy to get into and there is ample space between sites. The owner speaks English and he's very friendly and helpful. The park is clean and well maintained and even the seasonal sites are tidy and well kept. Our site was on the grass, with a good gravel bed, that held up well even with a heavy rainfall. Some sites are close to the highway but the noise was not bothersome inside our rig. Many of the RV parks in this area did not have 50-amp service, Camping Transit does. They also have a small cafe on site and will do caoch delivery of pizza. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends. Travel Tip: Travel to Quebec City using the Levis-Quebec Ferry. the campsite offers a free shuttle service for scheduled trips to the Levis/Quebec City Ferry Terminal. If you choose to drive to the ferry terminal (about 15 minutes), parking is available at the terminal for $6 per day. A one-way ferry trip is $3.85 per person. The ferry lands in Quebec City right beside Lower Old Town and 3 short blocks from the Funicular up to Upper Old Town and the Chateau Frontenac.
We stayed for 2 nights (unable to book 3rd night due to St. Jean Baptiste weekend). We were booked on a boat tour in the afternoon- Victor and the staff went above and beyond to help us. We were able to park our rig in their driveway for the day and continue our sightseeing (at no charge). We appreciated their excellent customer service and hospitality. Thanks for a great stay.
Nice park, very big ,well maintained. Staff speak English and are helpful. The pool is big and there is a life guard on duty. The park provides a free shuttle bus to the ferry which crosses over St. Lawrence river to Old Quebec City. Reservations need to be made a day ahead by 7:00 pm. Major stores -Walmart, Cosco, Canadian Tire back at exit 314 on Highway 20 from our exit at 330. There is a store and small restaurant at campground.


Just a little update on my first solo volunteer day!
Connie and Austin were the only volunteers to show up, but we weeded like no tomorrow. I weeded out and grass clipped the whole section of tomatoes that had that very crooked row of peppers in the middle! Looks very nice now. A few people showed up just to walk and to pick, I helped them pick green beans (YUM!) and peas. One took green tomatoes (of course) but he said he was going to set them in his window to ripen. People just can't wait for yummy things to arrive!
There was an older man who stopped and talked and was simply AMAZED at the garden. He told his story of how his parents had two empty city lots and would grow potatoes, tomatoes, peppers etc. He enjoyed seeing everything so lush and seemed to like the New Life Soil idea, saying that, himself a fisherman, he and his wife used the inedible fish parts in their own garden. It was so very rewarding to see such gratitude and excitement. He and his wife said they'd surely visit often!
I also seeded carrots in the row that's been picked and a row of mustards.

National Park California
Climbing Safety
A Yosemite climbing ranger assists with technical rescue of climber on the Nose route of El Capitan.
Most climbers do a good job coping with the hazards of their sport, yet more than 100 climbing accidents occur in the park every year. What factors contribute to them? What, if anything, can climbers do to avoid them? And just how dangerous is climbing, anyway?
With these questions in mind, the National Park Service (NPS) has examined most of the serious accidents that occurred in the park during the years from 1970 through 1990. The conclusions provide interesting reading for those wishing to stay alive. (From "Staying Alive" by Search and Rescue (SAR) Ranger John Dill.)
Overview of Rock Climbing
Climbing Regulations
Climbing Closures
Climbing and Food Storage
Analysis of Climbing Accidents
Fifty-one climbers died from traumatic injuries in that period. A dozen more, critically hurt, would have died without rapid transport and medical treatment. In addition, there were many serious but survivable injuries, from fractured skulls to broken legs (at least 50 fractures per year), and a much larger number of cuts, bruises, and sprains.
Not surprisingly, most injuries occurred during leader falls and involved feet, ankles, or lower legs; for many, these are the accepted risks of climbing. However, leader falls accounted for only 25% of the fatal and near-fatal traumatic injuries; roughly 10% were from rockfall, 25% from being deliberately unroped, and 40% from simple mistakes with gear. Many cases are not clear cut; several factors may share the credit, and it is sometimes hard to quantify the weird adventures climbers have.
Not to be overlooked in the body count are environmental injuries. Inadequately equipped for the weather, four climbers died of hypothermia and perhaps 45 more would have died of the cold or heat if not rescued.
Fifteen to 25 parties require an NPS rescue each year. Sixty more climbers stagger into Yosemite's medical clinic on their own, and an unknown number escape statistical immortality by seeking treatment outside the park.
Most Yosemite victims are experienced climbers, 60% have been climbing for three years or more, lead at least 5.10, are in good condition, and climb frequently. Short climbs and big walls, easy routes and desperate ones – all get their share of the accidents.
The NPS keeps no statistics on how many climbers use the park, but 25,000 to 50,000 climber-days annually is a fair estimate. With this in mind, 2.5 deaths and a few serious injuries per year may seem a pretty low rate. It's much too high, however, if your climbing career is cut short by a broken hip, or worse. It's also too high when you consider that at least 80% of the fatalities and many injuries, were easily preventable. In case after case, ignorance, a casual attitude, and/or some form of distraction proved to be the most dangerous aspects of the sport.
As the saying goes, "good judgment comes from bad experience." In the pages that follow are condensed 21 years of bad experience – the situations Yosemite climbers faced, the mistakes they made, and some recommendations for avoiding bad experiences of your own. This information comes in many cases from the victims' own analysis or from those of their peers.

Parental and health care provider understanding of childhood fever: A Canadian perspective
Anna Karwowska, Cheri Nijssen-Jordan, David Johnson, H. Dele Davies
Pediatrics General
Child Health Research Institute
Objectives: Fever is common in children and causes misconceptions among parents. Many investigators have called for improved parental education to dispel "fever phobia." Our objectives were to assess parental and health care provider understanding of fever, its treatment, and beliefs about its consequences, as well as to identify parental sources of information about fever. Methods: Self-administered surveys were distributed to 3 parent groups and 4 health care provider groups. Parent groups included parents of children with fever presenting to the emergency department (ED) (fever group, n = 209), parents of children with an injury presenting to ED (injury group, n = 160), and parents of healthy school children (school group, n = 141). Provider groups included pediatric ED physicians (n = 16), pediatric ED nurses (n = 39), general pediatricians (n = 26) and family physicians (n = 79). Results: Parent groups considered a temperature of 37.9°C to be a fever, 39.1°C to be a high fever, and 39.9°C to be a dangerous fever. Parents were most concerned about discomfort, seizures and dehydration, and parents in the "fever group" worried more about dehydration (p = 0.01) and brain damage (p = 0.03) than other parents. Most physicians were concerned about dehydration and seizures, but family physicians were most likely to express concerns about brain damage (40.5%) and death (34.1%). Conclusions: Fever phobia exists among parents and health care providers and is most likely in parents of febrile children and family physicians.

Methods: Self-administered surveys were distributed to 3 parent groups and 4 health care provider groups. Parent groups included parents of children with fever presenting to the emergency department (ED) (fever group, n = 209), parents of children with an injury presenting to ED (injury group, n = 160), and parents of healthy school children (school group, n = 141). Provider groups included pediatric ED physicians (n = 16), pediatric ED nurses (n = 39), general pediatricians (n = 26) and family physicians (n = 79). Results: Parent groups considered a temperature of 37.9°C to be a fever, 39.1°C to be a high fever, and 39.9°C to be a dangerous fever. Parents were most concerned about discomfort, seizures and dehydration, and parents in the {"}fever group{"} worried more about dehydration (p = 0.01) and brain damage (p = 0.03) than other parents.

Conclusions: Fever phobia exists among parents and health care providers and is most likely in parents of febrile children and family physicians.

Best of British and Irish Country 2016
22 great tracks that have populated the Hotdisc British & Irish Chart during 2016.
Booze & Rock & Roll – Keith Shaw
The fourth album of self-penned songs from the Berkshire-based songwriter who has been involved in the music business for many years.
A 22-track compilation of songs that were successful on the Hotdisc British & Irish Chart during 2017.
The Dog and the Cadillac – Keith Shaw
The Berkshire-based songwriter's fifth album of original songs features eight self-penned tracks.


The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) allows businesses to claim capital allowances on investments on equipment that is energy saving or more energy efficient than existing equipment, against the taxable profits of the period of investment.
The scheme generates financial savings for a business but also makes the business more sustainable and energy efficient reducing its impact on the environment. The reason this scheme is in place is to help meet energy and co2 targets by 2020.
– Businesses paying corporation tax at 28% can expect a return of 28p for each pound invested.
– The product needs to be on The Energy Technology List (ETPL) to gain the full ECA.
– Products not on the ETPL will only receive up to 20% tax relief.
– Capital allowances enable businesses to write off the capital cost of purchasing plant and machinery, for example equipment such as Solar thermal, against their taxable profits. They take the place of depreciation charged in commercial accounts.
– General Rate without being on ETPL is a 20% allowance.
– If, however, business invested the same amount in high efficiency Solar panels from the ETPL, it could claim a 100% first-year capital allowance of £1,000 against the taxable profits of the year of investment.
– So the allowance would reduce the tax bill by £280 creating an advantage in cash flow for that year.
– The 100% first-year capital allowance relieves all the qualifying spending. Therefore there is no unrelieved spending to carry forward against profits of later years.
– If a company makes £2000 profit they can write off £1000 of expenditure and only pay tax on £1000 of profit.

Minimalism became a part of my life a couple of years ago. Walking into my house you probably wouldn't really notice it. I don't subscribe to the extreme notions of minimalism but I do try to adhere to only keeping things that serve a purpose.
I'm fairly good at throwing things out. My only issue is my wardrobe. I hold onto things for financial and sentimental reasons but mostly because I have this idea that I'm going to fit into it again. That's my biggest hurdle. Instead of getting rid of those items I end up storing them in the space under my stairs. I've given myself 12 months before looking at them again. If by that time they don't fit then they go. I've already made sure my fiance knows to get rid of them for me.
I've decluttered a lot so I've gotten quite good at going through my wardrobe. Here are my 3 steps to clearing out a wardrobe.
Step 1 – The dump!
Grab everything you have in your wardrobe and dump it on the bed or floor or anywhere you have a bit of space. This is the fun part but it's also the part that makes me most anxious. I hate looking at the sheer amount of items I have, considering my rotation of clothes is fairly small. It serves as a reminder of how much money I've spent on things that are rarely used.
Start by dividing things into 2 piles – one pile of things you want to get rid of and one for everything else. The main focus of this step is to look for the things you want to get rid of. Don't spend too much time on this. Try to make it as instinctual as possible and only give yourself a couple of seconds for each item.
Go through your everything else pile. Here you can take more time with each item but again, try and trust your instincts. Also, view each item for what it is – clothing and nothing more. It's easy to get caught up in what I do – the sentimental, the financial, the idea of who you are when they fit. Let go of those ideas and focus on fit and how you feel in them. Divide these clothes into 3 piles – add anything you don't want to your get rid of pile, anything you want to keep in a new pile and anything you're not sure of in another pile.
Try on your not sure pile. Divide them into things you want to keep and things you don't. If you have anything left over because you're not sure, create a new pile.
Now go through your get rid of pile. I usually divide these into 3 piles as well. One for clothes to give to friends or family, one for donations and one that are too trashed and need to be thrown out.
Put back all the clothes you are going to keep. Hang up what you can and fold everything else in neat piles. There are plenty of articles on Pinterest on cool ways to store your clothes.
Pop the clothes you aren't sure about into a box or container. Store them away for 6 to 12 months or whatever time length feels right to you.
If you are giving any clothing to friends or family, organise to catch up with them as soon as possible to hand them over otherwise it's easy for those items to slip back into your wardrobe. Same with your donation pile. Arrange to drop them off or have them picked up within a couple of days.
Throw your getting rid of pile into a garbage bag and straight into the bin. There is no point having it in your space.
If you do have a not sure pile that has been stored away, you can follow these steps again when your time frame is up and you want to go through them.
3 easy yet time consuming steps and your wardrobe is decluttered.


July 16, 2012 17:00 ET | Source: Meade Instruments Corp.
IRVINE, Calif., July 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meade Instruments Corp. (Nasdaq:MEAD), a leading designer and manufacturer of consumer optical products, including telescopes, binoculars and microscopes, today reported net sales of $4.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended May 31, 2012, compared with $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended May 31, 2011. The Company reported a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.65 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.20 per share, in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.
The net loss was higher than the prior year primarily due to a substantially lower gross profit margin which was primarily due to 1) a decrease in capitalizable manufacturing costs caused by a reduction in manufactured finished goods inventories and 2) an unfavorable shift in product mix compared to prior year net sales.
The Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 (ended February 29, 2012) and first quarter of fiscal 2013 (ended May 31, 2012) were adversely impacted by delays in shipments of the Company's LX800 and LX80 telescopes and, to a lesser extent, the Company's more recently announced LX600 telescopes, as well as higher product development costs relating to the development of these products.
The Company has a backlog of orders for approximately $10 million which it expects to work through over the next three quarters. The Company's backlog at the same period in the prior year was approximately $4 million. The Company defines "backlog" as orders received for products with due dates over the next 12 months; such orders can be canceled by the customer(s) prior to shipment but generally have limited rights of return.
"We have had a slow start to fiscal 2013, especially with regards to the LX800 which has required a longer design schedule than initially anticipated. But we expect to begin shipping the LX80 and LX800 in quantity very soon," stated Steven G. Murdock, Chief Executive Officer of Meade.
"We've also waited to begin shipping the New LX600 for similar reasons but expect to see the LX600 beginning to make it out to our dealers and into the hands of amateur astronomers very soon.

Openness by design: ICO's draft access to information strategy
The Information Commissioner's Office has published a draft access to information strategy [pdf] and is inviting comments on it. The document opens by explaining that over the next three years the ICO has the ambition to be "more proactive and increase the impact of" regulation in respect of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("FOIA") and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 ("EIRs").
The document is intended to be read in conjunction with the ICO's 'Regulatory Action Policy', which was consulted on last year (and covers all of the legislation that the Commissioner is tasked with enforcing, not just FOIA and the EIRs).
The draft strategy gives the impression that the ICO intends to become more proactive in its enforcement of FOIA and the EIRs – especially in relation to "systematic non-compliance". This could mean that the ICO intends become more formal in its enforcement action. So we will need to wait and see how it pans out.
The other matter within the draft strategy that is worthy of note (although it really is worthwhile taking the time to read the whole document – it's not a lengthy one) is the section which discusses the changes that have occurred since FOIA and the EIRs were enacted. In particular the draft strategy indicates that a report to Parliament will be published later this month "making recommendations for change in relation to outsourced public services and some other categories of public service provision that are not within the scope of the current legislation." Quite what will happen with such a report, given that Parliament is pretty tied up with Brexit related matters, is unclear; however, it should be worth looking at – especially if you're involved in the provision of public services under contract.
The ICO is inviting comments on the draft strategy document until 8th March 2019 and comments can be submitted via the ICO website.

It has been such a long time since I wrote in this blog, lets consider this the reboot. I haven't been away for any particular reason, I think lack of sleep is the big culprit. Our eldest is nearly 3 and our most recent arrival, Hank, is nearing 11 months. This is the first time since his birth I've been able to put reliable sleep together for more than one day in every 2 weeks. I feel my brain and my body catching back up, which has given me a bit more energy.
A year in Winnipeg has done well for us. We have a beautiful apartment in a lovely part of town right by the river. We have a comfortable car, home, and we have adopted a second cat. Tricksy gets along well with Thor, they are always playing and cuddling, and it has made our lives very peaceful. Our human children are completely adorable and wonderful, even when they complain, and despite their peculiar penchant for pratfalls.
Rehearsals for the WSO Chorus start in a month. For the last few weeks we've been working on Polycoro's next concert – Positive Friction. The concert is, like many we have planned, an examination of a situation through the eyes of history and relating to our current moment. We are debuting music by Isaiah Ceccarelli, a composer from Quebec who has proven a very thoughtful composer, and I think our performance will be moving.
My term at GroundSwell comes to a close at the end of December, I have a few months where I can just conduct, until end of May most likely, and that is a rare opportunity. I doubt I will look too hard for a job during that time period, though there is one awfully good one I applied for recently which I would happily take if it were offered.
In the new year I'm more likely to spend less time on social media platforms, online in general, and at computers especially. Its just too hard on my eyes, so I'll be writing this blog from time to time but don't expect a whole lot of activity from me on FB. I'll be limiting my online time to corresponding (mostly) and my computer time to blogging and grant writing. I'm not closing anything, but I'm definitely stepping away for the foreseeable future. There are too many books and scores and not enough of me to go round. I'll also likely get rid of my cellphone. I don't think its really worth it to me to have.
Why am I doing that? To devote more time to art. I want, at this point, to take a few months to accomplish some things of real interest to me. There are some important stories still to tell, and I want to tell them sooner rather than later. I'm 42, no time to waste on anything I don't *really* want to do. And Nature hates a vacuum. I know I won't be at loose ends for long.
So there you have it, there is going to be more art and less online, more listening and less facebooking. That sounds exciting. See you all soon!

Q: How to test for an empty SQL result in ASP I am running a query from ASP using a MySQL database, I want to create a variable (ssResult) based on the result with a person's name (fullname), if the record does not exist I want to assign the text 'N/A' to the variable, code below, I currently use a function getOther for my database connections which passes the column name "fullname":
ssResult = getOtherElse("SELECT fullname FROM table WHERE id=" & inArr(j), "fullname")

Below is the code for the function getOtherElse which only works when a result is returned but not when there is an empty result:
Function getOtherElse(inSQL, getColumn)
    Dim conn, rstemp
    Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    conn.open myDSN
    Set Session("lp_conn") = conn
    Set rstemp = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    rstemp.Open inSQL, conn
    if not rstemp.eof then
        rstemp.movefirst
        getOtherElse=rstemp.fields(getColumn)
    else
        getOtherElse="N/A"
    end if
    rstemp.close
    set rstemp=nothing
    conn.close
    set conn=nothing
End Function

Thanks!

A: You could try changing the line
if not rstemp.eof then

with
if rstemp.RecordCount > 0 then

A: Why not change the SQL to only pull out a result with a First Name, that way the "N/A" would apply:
sResult = getOtherElse("SELECT fullname FROM table WHERE id=" & inArr(j), "fullname AND fullname<>''")

A: Replace this block of code:
if not rstemp.eof then
    rstemp.movefirst
    getOtherElse=rstemp.fields(getColumn)
else
    getOtherElse="N/A"
end if

with this block of code:
Dim output
output = "N/A"

If Not rstemp.eof Then
    rstemp.movefirst
    value = rstemp.fields(getColumn)

    If trim(value) = "" Then
        value = "N/A"
    End If
End If

getOtherElse = value

The above code always assumes nothing is being returned, until the connection actually sets it as being returned.  And then the the value is checked for an empty string and sets the value also as "N/A"

Created in 1993, the Bull Dawg is the original soft plastic jerk bait. One of the most versatile lures on the market, the Bull Dawg can be straight cranked, jerked, twitched, or even trolled. A favorite technique is to rip the bait with a rod sweep, then pause and repeat. The strike often comes on the pause. Do this technique fast in warm water and slow in cold water. Set the hook hard when you feel anything different.
The power of the Bull Dawg is the way it displaces water and the way it "feels" to the fish. The fish usually cannot get conditioned to Bull Dawgs. As my pro staff puts it, "there is no wrong way to fish a Bull Dawg, just throw it out, work it in, and hold on!"
