Cet article traite des bains publics à Genève. Entre Léman, Rhône et Arve, Genève a un environnement propice à la pratique de la baignade sous toutes ses formes ; la ville est largement pourvue en infrastructures de bains tels que plages, bains, pataugeoires et piscines. L'évolution de ces infrastructures accompagne l'histoire sociale et culturelle de Genève dans tout ce qui touche au corps, à l'hygiène, aux loisirs et à la nature.

Histoire

Les traces historiques de bains à Genève sont rares. Au Moyen Âge, les bains chauds, appelés étuves, sont très fréquentés. Les noms de quelques propriétaires d'étuves du  siècle ont été conservés, le plus notoire étant Philibert Berthelier. À la Réforme des ordonnances du Consistoire de Genève régulent cette activité. La rue des Étuves, dans le quartier de Saint-Gervais conserve la trace de ces bains chauds généralement tenus par des barbiers. La baignade dans les eaux du Léman, du Rhône ou de l'Arve n'est attestée que par des interdiction des baignade promulguées lors des épidémies de pestes du  siècle.

Les premiers bains publics de l'ère moderne sont créés à l'initiative de notables genevois. Attestés dès , les Bains Lullin proposent un espace de baignade sur le Léman, sécurisé et non-mixte. En , soit quatre ans après l'ouverture de la première école de natation de Paris, Aimé-Robert Merle d'Aubigné  ouvre une école de natation dans sa propriété aux Eaux-Vives. Les bains de la campagne Graveline étaient situés entre les numéros 44 et 52 de l'actuel quai Gustave-Ador . Une gravure du  confirme l'existence  des Bains de Ferre sur le Rhône au bas de la place Chevelu au niveau de l'actuel pont de la Machine.

siècle

Des lieux divers
Dans la première moitié du  siècle, deux bains publics sont ouverts au public dans les fossés des fortifications. Les Bains de Rive situés dans le fossé des fortifications au pieds de la cité, côté lac Les Bains de Neuve dans le bastion de Hesse  place de Neuve. Construits à l'initiative de deux médecins genevois soucieux de sécurité publique, les bains de Neuve offrent des cours gratuits de natation.
Ils disparaissent avec la démolition des fortifications entre  et .

Avec le développement de l'industrie et les changements sociaux qui l'accompagnent, c'est la fonction hygiénique des bains qui est mise en avant. La destruction des fortifications autour de Genève permet la création vers 1830 de plusieurs aménagements dédiés aux bains sur le Rhône, dans le secteur de l'Île et de la Coulouvrenière. Les bains de l'Île, Bains de la demi-lune et les Bains Froids disputent l'espace du lit du fleuve aux bateaux-lavoirs des lavandières et autres moulins. Les Bains du Rhône, qui sont d'abord construits en aval du Pont de la Coulouvrenière en , sont déplacés par la construction de l'usine des forces motrices et reconstruits en  en amont du Pont de la Machine. Ils resteront ouverts au public jusqu'en . Des bains sur l'Arve existaient également au siècle. La rue des Bains signale encore l'existence . Situés sur la berge de l'Arve au niveau de cette rue, les Bains d'Arve affichait des horaires d'ouvertures de 3h du matin à 10h du soir.

Charles Constant propose au Conseil représentatif en  de créer trois bains : un au Pâquis, un aux Eaux-Vives, un Rhône. La proposition est combattue par son propre bord politique car elle prévoyait l'interdiction de la baignade en dehors de ces trois lieux.
C'est à l'initiative privée que l'on doit la création, à partir du milieu du  siècle, de nouveaux aménagements destinés à la baignade dans le lac. Après l'argument hygiénique, c'est la motivation sportive avec la pratique de la natation qui s'impose. En 1856, un dénommé Daffner ouvre une école de natation au Paquis.  En , les Bains du Brise Lame sur le quai des Eaux-Vives sont ouverts à proximité du lieu où jadis Aimé-Robert Merle d'Aubigné avait créé son école de natation, soit l'axe de l'actuelle avenue Wiliam-Favre. Les cours de natation des Bains du Brise Lame seront animés par un garde-port dénommé Mermillod, titulaire de la concession accordée par l'État. Les bains Mermillod, comme on les appelait familièrement, furent ensuite gérés par la veuve de celui-ci jusqu'en .
En  les Bains des Paquis sont construits sous leur première forme .
En , les Bains de Versoix sont inaugurés. Ils font partie d'un véritable projet de développement immobilier de la région de Versoix.

Des fonctions multiples

L'accès à l'hygiène pour les plus pauvres mobilise les œuvres philanthropiques. En , la diaconie de la Fusterie construit des bains chauds et un lavoir public dans un bâtiment à l'angle entre la rue du Rhône et la rue du Port. En 1889, la société genevoise d'utilité publique décide de prendre en main la question des , elle assure la gestion des bains de la rue du Rhône de telle sorte que .

Les bains chauds proposent de véritables salles de bains avec de l'eau chaude en abondance, voire des bains de vapeur. Les Bains des Bergues font publicité des améliorations techniques qu'ils ont apportées à leurs installations de chauffe. D'autres proposent aussi un service à domicile tels les Bains de la Poste  et les Bains chauds d'Arve à Carouge. Les Bains des Eaux-Vives portent à domicile leurs .

Pour les populations aisées, l'engouement pour le thermalisme permet la création des services exclusifs. En 1874, le quartier de Champel se profile même comme une véritable station thermale avec son hôtel et ses bains thérapeutiques dans l'Arve. Sur le modèle d'autres villes thermales l'appellation Champel-Les-Bains figurait sur le matériel promotionnel, affiches et cartes postales. La Tour de Champel . En France voisine, les Bains de la Caille à Cruseilles attirent une clientèle Genevoise avec un service d'omnibus.

siècle
Les bains à usage hygiéniques disparaissent progressivement. L'accès à l'eau courante généralisé rend les espaces publics de bains inutiles. La presse mentionne encore les Bains de Genève à la rue de Hesse qui, au début de la guerre en été , doit fermer certains jours pour économiser le précieux charbon. La même année, un rédacteur du Journal de Genève fait le point sur la situation des bains à Genève. Il ne signale plus que trois installations dédiées au bain : les bains de la jetée des Pâquis sur la rive droite du lac, les Bains du Brise Lames sur la rive gauche et les Bains du Rhône en amont du pont de la Machine. Ces derniers fermant en 1918, les installations sur le Rhône et sur l'Arve ont complètement disparu au début du  siècle.

Le  siècle voit la création ne nombreuses infrastructures qui accompagnent l'évolution de la société qui valorise maintenant l'activité physique au grand air. La rade du lac, avec les projets urbanistiques d'aménagements des quais et promenades, sera le premier terrain de développement de nouvelles infrastructures de baignade.

De Eaux-Vives-Plage à Genève-Plage

Le Conseil d'État souhaite créer une promenade le long du quai des Eaux-Vives dans le but de favoriser le tourisme.
Un concours urbanistique est organisé, celui-ci terminé, les variantes des différents continuent d'être âprement débattues. Dans tous les cas, les bains Mermillod devront être déplacés pour laisser la place à un débarcadère pour les bateaux de la CGN. Une grève, Baby-Plage, sera aménagée dans l'anse en amont du débarcadère. L'association des bains de soleil et du lac reprend la concession de la veuve Mermillod, bains du Brise Lame, et ouvre, après d'âpres négociations quant à l'emplacement, la Plage des Eaux-Vives en 1916. Celle-ci est aménagée sur la grève en aval du nouveau débarcadère de la CGN . Le succès populaire est remarquable et divers travaux d'aménagement sont réalisés tels que cabines, enrochement, pont, solarium. Néanmoins, le projet d'aménagement du quai des Eaux-Vives implique que les bains devront être déplacés à terme. La solution qui s'impose consiste à déplacer hangars de la société nautique et plage des Eaux-Vives au Port-Noir. De ce projet naîtront le port de la Nautique et Genève-Plage. Genève-Plage est inaugurée en . Propriété de la ville de Genève, cette installation se trouve néanmoins sur le territoire de la commune de Cologny.

Les bains des Pâquis

Sur la rive droite du lac, une plage est aménagée sur le côté amont de la jetée des Pâquis quelques années avant la construction en  des Bains des Pâquis. Ceux-ci remplacent les anciens bains en bois, dits bains municipaux.

Courses populaires de nage en eaux libres

Plusieurs courses populaires de nage en eaux libres sont créées. La Traversée de Genève à la Nage, probablement inspirée de la Traversée de Paris à la nage. La Coupe de Noël qui perdure. La Traversée de la Rade entre le parc de la Perle du Lac et Genève-Plage, créée par le directeur de celle-ci. À noter également la traditionnelle épreuve finale du cours d'inspecteurs de police, traversée sur le même parcours que la Traversée de la Rade.

Piscines et pataugeoires
À partir du milieu du  siècle, les piscines et pataugeoires vont être créées en nombre. La première pataugeoire est inaugurée en  dans le parc Beaulieu . Dès  l'état phytosanitaire du Léman est fortement dégradé. Les autorités déconseillent la baignade et promulguent même des interdictions. La piscine des Vernets est inaugurée en 1966 et, la même année, l'association Genève-Plage souhaite créer une piscine sur la berge du Léman car

siècle

Piscines et pataugeoires

La ville de Genève possède six piscines. Deux piscine publiques, la piscine des Vernets et la piscine de Varembé, proposent bassins intérieurs et extérieurs, plongeoirs, pataugeoires et espace de bronzage. Quatre bassins de quartier qui accueillent exclusivement les clubs sportifs et les groupes scolaires. Onze pataugeoires sont disponibles dans les différents parcs de la ville. Fontaines et autres jets installés sur les places publiques sont prisés et la baignade dans les fontaines est même tolérée en cas de canicule.

Plages et bains sur le Léman
Bains des Pâquis et Genève-Plage sont toujours là. Construction d'une nouvelle plage publique, la plage des Eaux-Vives, entre le port des Eaux-Vives et le Port-Noir.

Baignade dans le Rhône

Au , la ville de Genève crée des aménagements pour les baigneurs entre le pont Sous-Terre et la pointe de la Jonction, marquant ainsi une reconnaissance institutionnelle d'une pratique populaire de baignade dans le Rhône.

Point d'eau
L'association Carrefour Rue gère le Point d'Eau qui propose salle de bain, buanderie et infirmerie pour les sans abris et les personnes vivant dans des logements sans confort.

Dans la culture
 La pêche miraculeuse de Konrad Witz, est un panneau d'un retable de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre datant de . Cette œuvre est considérée comme . Saint Pierre se jette de la barque pour aller vers Jésus qui marche sur l'eau.

 Le tableau  Lake Geneva and Mont-Blanc (1802-1805) de Joseph Mallord William Turner montre le lac depuis le creux de Genthod avec Les Voirons, le Salève et le Mont Blanc en arrière plan. Des baigneurs nus sont sur la berge.

In the same meeting, I mentioned an invitation I've received to present on some of the issues we were discussing – specifically, I mentioned that I am terrified at the prospect of presenting. My supervisor was very interested in this. It kept coming up. I'd be in the middle of talking about something else, and he'd go, "So – did you mean it, when you said you were terrified?" and "So… N. is terrified by something, huh?" and "Terrified, hmm? That's really good to know!" I gather from these comments that I must come across as not being easy to terrify… ;-P This is actually a profound misunderstanding – as I've mentioned on the blog a number of times, for example, I'm terrified of posting my writing in public – I just do it anyway, in part because it annoys me that I feel this way, and I see no other viable way of working out how best to function through this reaction, other than placing myself in the situation over and over again. Similar considerations apply to presentations. Evidently I must put up a convincing front.

Three Years of Drona: Here's what we have to say!
It's been three years. Three years of Drona. Three years of Drones. We started off as a small team dedicated to creating India's very own Drone Platform. Along the way, we also decided to educate Indians on Drone Technology and its tremendous capabilities. It's been quite some journey for us. A long one too, but we hope it stays forever. Today, we've come a long way from where we started off. Pluto is getting popular at a rapid rate and we're also becoming a name synonymous with Drone Technology in India. Yes, we're not quite there but we've made quite an impact on every person and organization we have interacted with, and these are signs of things to come.
Pluto was our very first product. A small DIY Nano-Drone that packed quite a punch and was fun to fly. Over the last three years, Pluto has gone on to grow a lot in popularity. Just like Team Drona, Pluto has come a long way as well. It's been through several workshops, inspections, events, and most importantly, a complete makeover into the product that it is today; a durable, stable and enjoyable Nano-Drone.
This last year has been especially phenomenal for Drona in terms of making our presence felt. Almost every college Tech-Fest had a Drona Aviation stall/Experience Zone in place and you'd find it crowded with curious, excited, youthful Drone Enthusiasts enjoying and appreciating Pluto and our Initiatives. We were also at Mumbai Comic Con which sees an annual footfall of over 30,000 and the people there loved our specially designed Bat-Pluto and Captain America Pluto so much that we're receiving plenty of orders for it.
And, of course, how can we ever forget the impact that our very own Pluto Racing League had on the Drone Enthusiasts of India? It was so exciting to see everyone participate in Pluto Racing League and so many of them stay back even after their elimination to witness the finals and express their love for Pluto! The very idea of racing Pluto through arenas was so adrenaline inducing and everybody enjoyed it so much.
We've had many people work with us but the people that have worked as a part of Drona Aviation are something else entirely. It takes a lot of talent to work in a company that sells Nano-Drones and every single person who is or has been an employee of Drona Aviation has it in spades, to offer. We're all an enthusiastic and passionate bunch, each with our own qualities and when all of us work together, we keep the cogs running. Here's what a few of us have to say on Drona's 3rd Birthday!
"I joined from 10th April, 2017.
I have learnt how to solve problems that are unrelated to my expertise and also to work as part of a team.
My fondest memory is when I first improved the old app and everyone including some Pluto customers appreciated the changes. That made my day.
For over a year, it was just the three of us founders working alone together at Drona. Three years down the line, we are a team of twelve people. Each of us plays a significant role in the company and have contributed in making Drona what it is today.
The game changer for Drona was when Pluto took its first flight (which was not a good flight) but it was what served as a catalyst for change in the company's vision, attitude and hunger to get success. Drona will definitely achieve its newer and higher targets/goals.
All in all, it's been an amazing three years for Team Drona and we thank all of you for contributing to our work as well! Here's to many more years of Drona Aviation and Pluto!

Susan Stinsmuehlen-Amend (born 1948) is a glass and mixed media artist who lives and works in Ojai, California.

Biography
Born in Baltimore, MD, Stinsmuehlen-Amend was educated at Hood College, Indiana University at Bloomington, and the University of Texas at Austin. She studied painting and drawing before going on to run an Austin, TX architectural glass business, Renaissance Glass, starting in 1973. Stinsmuehlen-Amend studied with glass artists Narcissus Quagliata and Paul Marioni. Marioni invited her to be his assistant at Pilchuck in 1980.

Stinsmuehlen-Amend has been a guest artist and lecturer at many schools, including Penland School of Crafts, Rhode Island School of Design, Rochester Institute of Technology, Tyler School of Art, North Lands Creative Glass (Scotland), and the Pilchuck Glass School (1980-1997). In addition, she served as the first female president of the board of directors of the Glass Art Society from 1984 to 1986.

About her work
Stinsmuehlen-Amend concentrated initially on experimental pieces that defied idealized standards of beauty, taste, form and pattern. She turned to working in glass because she felt it was more "exciting" to work with. She started creating her fragmented X series around 1978, in which she melded together a pastiche of colors and textures in a post-modern way. These pieces, fabricated with stained glass techniques, were meant to hang on walls, rather than as windows. As one of the few women working in studio glass at the time, her work also had feminist implications. The X was a symbol of how the artist wished to slash through the old, more staid ways of approaching glass.

She crossed between the various methods for manipulating glass and incorporated other media into her assemblage-like pieces, using scraps of everyday material to give them texture, depth, and meaning.

In the late 1990s, the structure of her work moved towards rectilinear, with diptychs and triptychs of contrasted figures and patterns. She broke her compositions down into split segments that were meant to be absorbed together despite being separated into individual panels. She integrated imagery and symbols to suggest narrative.

More recently, Stinsmuehlen-Amend sandwiches individual glass planes of images on top of one another, giving them multi-dimensionality. In these layered wall panels the viewer is meant to see into the depth of the piece but not through it, as would be the case if these panes were acting as traditional windows or screens.

This book has elements of survival, war, and is semi-apocalyptic. And even more than than that, it is spiritual and paranormal. It offers a little bit of everything, and there is even some romance near the end.
This is a book that starts out by telling the stories of strangers that are all experiencing the weird natural disasters that are popping up all over the country.
Then, it turns into a book about destiny.
These individuals come together and learn how to survive these crazy events with limited resources, ...and a psychic.
It will take you on a crazy ride, and an emotional one at that. You will hate some characters and you will love others, but you will end up rooting for this group of strangers in the end.
It takes the story of the anti-christ and the mark of the beast to a whole new level. With witches and warlocks, mysterious twins, and a gun-happy girl with two pups, there is never a dull moment in this book. It will keep you hanging on until the very last page.
I enjoyed how every character had their own distinct personality. It made reading this fun because you got to know the characters along the way.
There are also two badass female characters, so that was fun as well!
I would give this a 4.5 just because of one highly uncomfortable moment which I will place in he spoiler section.
Other than that, it was well written. I felt a connection to the characters and was rooting for this group the whole way through.
The part that really disturbed me was when Cash came to visit the camp and he was hurting everyone. That wasn't the disturbing part. It was disturbing when he was leaving and talking about taking Jade. It was just very uncomfortable to read.


Love those pots, but they are really heavy! This might be a good way to cook bread on a Bonfire and avoid the smuts. Must try it.
Buried with hot coals – I bet it would work well.
Beautiful pot – lovely shape and mustard yellow. And mouth-wateringly beautiful bread.
I've made this bread and it was delicious!! What a beautiful pot. Great find and a great post. Thanks for sharing!

Do you want to start incorporating herbal medicine into your alternative health routine and lifestyle? Before you run down to the store and stock up on some herbs, it is important to realize that herbs have powerful ingredients and must be used appropriately. Although herbal remedies are less likely than conventional medicine to cause side effects, herbs nevertheless can be very potent.
Do your homework. Investigate the herb or herbal remedy before using it. Whatever type of product you choose, the quality of an herb or herbal preparation is only as good as the quality of the raw herb from which it was made. Personally, I recommend using well-established brands of herbal remedies. This can save you the time and energy of investigating products and often increases your chances of getting reliable ones.
It is best to initiate an herbal program slowly. Start with one product at a time and build to the desired amounts so you don't overwhelm your body.
It is also important to mention that when working with herbs, you may experience a "healing crisis" as your problem begins to work its way out of your body. A healing crisis is often experienced as a temporary aggravation of symptoms that can flair-up for a few days. If they symptoms last longer than that, discontinue your herbal regimen and visit your primary care provider.
From a practical point of view, it is best to work on only one or two health problems at a time. Focus on the most important problem first. What you may find is that your other health issues go away by themselves as the original problem is eliminated.
Check with your primary care provider before starting an herbal therapy program.
Do not take an herbal remedy instead of the medicine prescribed by your doctor without discussing it with him/her first.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding it is even more important to investigate the action of specific herb. There are a number of herbs that are contraindicated for pregnant or lactating women. If in doubt, it is best to just avoid them all together.
In addition to taking herbs to help restore your body, here are some additional tips to help you experience optimal health in your life. Drink lots of pure water. Get plenty of high quality sleep. Exercise daily – take a walk, stretch or do yoga. Try eating a diet rich in natural foods. Cut down on white and refined sugars, white flour, dairy products, alcohol, caffeine, fats and foods with additives. Increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains and raw nuts in your diet.
Keep in mind, taking supplements and working with herbal therapies is only part of the answer. At times emotional issues may inhibit our body's ability to heal itself. Try to have a positive outlook on life. Find ways to relieve stress and release pent-up anger or resentment whenever possible. In addition, become spiritually stronger! It has been scientifically proven that things such as prayer, journaling, energy healing such as meditation have a positive effect on healing.
Most importantly, be patient. Don't expect instant changes. Your body didn't get that way overnight, so give it some time to heal. Building new cells and restoring the body's valuable supply of chemical elements takes time and a commitment on your part, a commitment to get better. Although there IS a point of no return in tissue damage caused by severe long-term deficiencies, it is surprising to see how well the body responds to herbal therapies. It has been found that by combining herbal therapies with dietary and lifestyle improvements, you can work toward the remission of symptoms and the reversal of the disease process naturally.

A superb UNMOUNTED MINT control " K18 imperf " example. The RAREST of the 8d controls. We also only send to confirmed addresses. A superb UNMOUNTED MINT" is in sale since Wednesday, September 23, 2015. This item is in the category "Stamps\Great Britain\George V".


One of the sights we wanted to see was the Motherland statue in the city. We found the right bus to take, but didn't know exactly where to get off. Sister Reed asked one of the passengers, and it just happened that she and her friend (who works at the Flower Festival) were going to the same place. Dorota (Dorothy in English), who was from Poland and living in Kiev, told us that the once-in-a-year event, the Flower Festival, was going on at the park where the statue is located. She offered to show us around, and she was a great tour guide! On the grassy hillsides of this park, floral arrangements were displayed depicting Ukrainian culture and customs, and they were breath-taking. The scenes were made totally of flowers (it reminded us of the Rose Bowl Parade, only not floats). Dorota explained the customs to us, which made the displays much more meaningful. It's interesting how the Lord continuously puts people in our path who help us out in different situations. We've had this happen time and time again in the year we have been here.
Flowers showing some of the stitching they do on cloth - even the vase and flowers in it are both composed of flowers.
This display shows the different floral designs which are stitched on cloth. Each area of Ukraine has its own floral pattern. When there is a marriage, the couple, during the ceremony, stands on a piece of cloth which has a floral design depicting their area of Ukraine.
Here is a vendor displaying different stitched Ukrainian designs.
Dorota's friend, who had a booth at the Festival, writes articles for this magazine specializing in plants and flowers. She gave us a couple of the periodicals to take with us.
The park area where the Festival and the Motherland statue are located.
The Motherland statue - this enormous statue is made of stainless steel and was built during the Soviet regime. It is a war memorial and stands to a height of 364 feet.
Beautiful! I'm thankful to read that the Lord is taking good care of you through kind people there.
Elder and Sister Reed!! We need to get more people registered on your blog:) I know you're more than halfway through & I'm finally registering now–but we're just not a bloggy family:) The elder Jones looked at your pics & loved them–as told to me by Janet! We have perused them this morning & especially liked the flower art and the dancing costumes! The kids were able to pick out Pres. Monson, Uchtdorf, and Elder Nelson, too!! We enjoyed getting a face to "Harold"–he was the one who talked with Pres. Monson, right? The temple is beautiful!! It was neat putting faces to the lovely people who helped you around the city, too! What a beautiful weekend weather-wise it appears as well!! We also really enjoyed the pics of the youth camp at the wonderful beach–it DID bring back Lake Powell to my mind!! We sure love you guys and are sooo proud of you!!

GOOD OLD SPOKANE STUFF!!!
Well…kind of…:)
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/jan/09/no-charges-filed-against-deputy-in-ryan-holyk-case/
He also considered a charge of negligent driving, which is a traffic infraction, and reckless driving, which is a gross misdemeanor, but the statute of limitations on both of those charges had expired by the time new evidence came to light, Haskell said.
*** Probably better to get it right the first time so you don't have to worry about the Statute of Limitations expiring. I wonder how much time and money was wasted on Grant Fredericks. It looks like the SPD should have got the expert hired by the family who lead Jarrod Carter of Origin Forensics to find the hat band impression on the bumper.
Maurer said nobody from the county called and told Holyk's parents charges would not be filed, leaving them to find out from the news release.
*** Gee Mr. Maurer, you are a lawyer you should know that even though it is the right thing to do, Prosecutors are only "encouraged" to do so under RCW 9.94A.411 Evidentiary sufficiency.
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.94A.411
DOG GONE DEFENSE/LITIGATION EXPERTS, THEY SPOIL EVERYTHING!
NEW EVIDENCE PRESS CONFERENCE:
Carter, of Origin Forensics, said he recently viewed an animation prepared by an expert hired by the Holyk family as part of a civil lawsuit filed against the Sheriff's Office. It showed that Holyk put his bike down in an attempt to avoid a collision and then turned around to try to escape to the curb on the north side of Sprague. As Holyk did this, Bodman swerved from a middle lane toward the right, likewise trying to avoid a collision, and the left side of his bumper hit Holyk's head. The animation shows that Holyk would have been spun counterclockwise and landed on top of his bike.
In closely examining the photos taken of the left front bumper he saw a "broken pattern" near where Holyk's DNA had been found. He said he converted the photo to black and white and then applied a negative effect to make the pattern stand out and matched it to the hat band of a hat similar to the one Holyk wore backward.
*** Why use a similar hat? The hat Holyk was wearing was placed into evidence by Officer P Taylor on May 24, 2014, what happened to it?
https://examplepro.me/2017/01/04/asking-the-tough-questions-and-pressing-for-the-truth/
"The bumper did in fact strike Mr. Holyk's head," he said. "That's the only explanation I have."
*** Well it proves Bodman was truthful in his statements that he hit Holyk back in 2014.
Carter said he's not sure why no one spotted the pattern before.
*** Yes, that is a bit odd, isn't it?
Prosecutor Larry Haskell said in light of the new evidence, criminal charges against Bodman will be re-evaluated. He had previously cleared Bodman of any criminal violations based on multiple internal and external investigations that concluded Bodman did not strike Holyk.
*** I don't get it! If Prosecutor Haskell cleared Bodman of any criminal violations (Negligent Homicide, Reckless Driving) because the previous investigations concluded he didn't strike Holyk and now the forensic evidence coupled with Bodman's statements that he did hit Holyk wouldn't that make it greater than a "high likelihood" that Bodman hit Holyk? Oh well…never mind.
Knezovich said he believes Holyk put himself in the path of the patrol car when he turned and moved back toward the curb.
"Had Holyk stayed on the bike, this would not have happened," he said.
*** I guess when you continually say Bodman didn't hit Holyk, and it turns out he did, in order not to have to eat some serious crow, it is better to blame the dead person?

Have you seen the picture of the face of Ryan Holyk after he got to the hospital?
I spent seven minutes with the night of May 23, 2014.The blow Ryan's head received caused so much bleeding the pooling blood wasn't allowing him to get air, as his face rested on the payment. I knew he would soon drown.
I told Charlie Price, I had to do something and chanced turning Ryan's head. I used my fingers and then a corner of a bar towel to scoop out a mass of blood and mucus so large. The bland taste of bone marrow hung in the air.
I have been forever changed by those seven minutes. I believe it was a miracle that Ryan ever regained consciousness, answering his mother's prayer that he would awake and know who she was.
Ryan was allowed to say goodbye and know what happened to him as he had no memory of seeing the car that struck him. Sometimes we only get a delay in what was to be, and not the reprieve from death that we hoped for.
God allowed me that part of my prayer that night as I looked up to heaven and asked God to help me make it better. I knew I couldn't ask for Ryan to live he was hurt so badly. I told Ryan there was a God hoping my words and touch could reach him through pain and darkness he felt after his face was impacted by the corner of the bumper at sixty miles an hour.
The Community of Spokane and Spokane Valley held vigil hoping for a greater miracle that would never be. Others with darkness in their heart conspired to create an obstruction of justice under a dark color of law, hoping to hide the truth.
Those with Darkness in the heart violated a communities civil rights in the process, and hid material facts from Ryan Holyk's family, Deputy Joseph Bodman, and every man woman and child of the City of Spokane and Spokane Valley.
Ryan was called home his injury too grievous, and way to young for those who knew and loved him to spend eternity with God.
Lord hear my prayer, help make this better as it's so wrong in so many ways. Help me make his better by learning the truth of how so many things went wrong, and how we can keep this from happening again.
When does an accident become a crime? When people lie and mislead and criminally interfere in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
If you allow this practice of lying to protect from tort, over public safety, accountability, and civil rights, without stepping up and saying truth matters more than limiting liability. Your perpetuating a crime after the fact, and assume your own culpability and shame.
What's it going to take before you step up and demand truth and accountability, having your own child killed when they could have been spared? Shame on you all who knew the truth, but hid behind a lie.
It's just not right.

I really don't know how to respond to your comment. I never have been able to figure out the right thing to say in cases like this, I don't know if there ever are the right words. I just thank you for your comment and pray that you and others involved never have to go through it again.
misjusticetoyou says:
But for the deputy's actions…sure he regrets everyday that he wasn't running his siren/lights/warning devices. I bet the family of Ryan regrets it too. And more than the deputy.
This is sickmaking.
Not sure if the case could be "proved". But it damn sure needs to be tried. AND HEARD!
*spit*
You always wonder what a jury might decide. I kind of wonder what an expert in Police Pursuit/Vehicle Operation would tell a Jury. Chances of hearing that testimony in the Civil trial are slim to none I would think.
Slim to none? Yup.
This. Case. Needs. To. Be. Heard.
I'm an advocate for our first responders. I feel badly for the deputy. I'm sure he will always carry the burden of Ryan's death. However, there needs to be accountability. And the only way for that to occur is for citizens/a jury to weigh in. Haskell denied this process.
And since when did prosecutors ONLY file on slam dunk cases? There are enough legal questions surrounding the death of Ryan to justify charges/a trial. Maybe the state will prove its case, maybe it won't. Surely a 15 year old kid and his family deserves that much? And surely, a deputy can withstand a fair and impartial inquiry aimed at uncovering the truth?
This won't go to a Civil Trial, as you know. The insurance company will settle…so that pesky details need not be admitted into evidence. "Lawyers clean up all details…"
Here is an IA Report that the Jury needs to evaluate! 🙂

Tree shrews look remarkably similar to squirrels. They are native to Southeast Asia and are the only members of their taxonomic order.
Tree shrews were once placed in the order formerly known as Insectivora, and then classified as primates for 50 years. Recent research distinguishes them from both orders and they are now classified in the order Scandentia, the only family in that order.
Tree shrews have a symbiotic relationship with pitcher plants, a group of plants with large, tube-shaped flowers.
Northern tree shrews have grayish, olive fur. These animals are diurnal and territorial, marking their spots using scent gland located in the abdomen and chin.
Their head and body are 5.5 to 9 inches (140 to 230 millimeters), and their tail is about the same length as their body.
Tree shrews are broadly distributed across Southeast Asia, in eastern Nepal and Bangladesh, southeastern China, Indochina and the Malay Peninsula above the Isthmus of Kra, Hainan.
Northern tree shrews live in rainforests. They are sometimes arboreal, but are most often found on or near the ground level. During dry months when the leaf litter dries up and reduces the amount of prey available on the ground, they are found more frequently in the trees.
Tree shrews have a symbiotic relationship with pitcher plants, a group of plants with large, tube-shaped flowers. The flowers attract bugs into their pitchers, which they break down and digest. Tree shrews perch on the lid of the plant's pitcher and lick nectar from the bottom of the leaf. Then, they defecate inside of the tube. The pitcher breaks down the tree shrew excrement for nutrients. Whenever possible, keepers at the National Zoo house pitcher plans with our northern tree shrews to showcase this relationship.
In the wild, these tree shrews eat insects, mainly coleopterans (beetles), and fruit.
At the Smithsonian's National Zoo, northern tree shrews are fed chopped greens, grapes, oranges, apples, root vegetables, insectivore diet, mealworm larvae and crickets.
Small social groups are composed of parents and their offspring until the young reach sexual maturity.
Male and female territories will frequently overlap, resulting in monogamous pairings. Although males and females do not interact often, they may share a burrow at night.
Young are born shortly after the mild southwest monsoons, when insects are most plentiful. Females usually have a litter size of two and commonly breed once a year. The gestation period is 40 to 52 days, at the end of which young are placed in a nest separated from the parents. Mothers are unique among extant mammals in that they do not groom their young, clean the nest, or rescue their young if danger arises. They visit their offspring once every two days to nurse for about five minutes.
The short gestation period and rapid maturation of the young mean that tree shrews can breed rapidly if the conditions are right and they are able to colonize new areas quickly.
Northern tree shrews are diurnal, or active during the day.
Northern tree shrews have a wide range and substantial population size. They are also able to tolerate human disturbance and habitat manipulation.

So often in dating we know who the right girls to pursue are and who are absolutely wrong for us. It's just a matter of whether we trust our inner voice or instead intend to merely satisfy our "most notable extremity".
We know when someone genuinely appeals to us intellectually and spiritually and whether there's potential for something meaningful but as men we often take the path of least resistance or choose the woman who appeals to our hunting instincts instead. We go after the ones seem the hardest to chase. The hottest girl at the bar who's rejecting guys left and right. The younger girl who says she's just looking to have fun. The party girl who jumps from event to event and man to man. We feel compelled to win their attention. It's our competitive male nature. We want to bring home the shiny trophy, be the Alpha male and the Big Dog all at once.
Once we get that hard to get girl…then what? It's boring. We realize she's not really that hot or is totally unevolved, boring to talk to and the idea of spending a whole evening with her brings a dread not easily erased no matter how mind-blowing the sex may initially be.
This year try instead to pursue women who are available and opened to receiving you. Think about who's going to make you happy in life rather than what's going to make your privates happy tonight. If you do it right, those two things do not have to be mutually exclusive.

8 Words that Most Liars Use

Sure, sometimes 'left' is the only word you can use in a situation, but there's some kind of drama involved when he uses it in place of another word that will do (think: "I left the bar at six" vs. "I went home at six"). It could be due to his desire to "leave" the lie behind.
The big thing to look out for is when he says "never" when "no" will do. It's a sign he's overcompensating. For example, if you ask, "Did you just look at that girl's butt?" and he says, "Never!"
Like never, it depends on how he uses it. If he puts "that" in front of a noun, like "that woman" or "that money," it's a subconscious attempt for him to distance himself from the word. This is a common trick of manipulators.
If he skips "no" and goes straight to "I would never do something like that!" when talking about a past event, be wary. For example, "Are you still talking to your ex?" "I would never do that to you!" "Would never" suggests that he plans to do it in the future.
"Yes, ma'am"
If your guy is a Southern gentleman, then this doesn't apply. But if he suddenly says "ma'am" to you out of nowhere, be cautious. It's a sign that he feels like he's feeling stressed and knows he's in trouble.
Liars use phrases like this to try to minimize what they say next-but usually it's what's most important to the story. Pay extra attention to what he says afterward.
Liars usually try to downplay what they say with this word, so pay attention when he says something like, "I know this is going to sound strange, but…" or "I know you think I'm lying, but…"
"Why would I do that?"
It's a favorite stalling line of liars, so they can buy a little time to work out what to say next. These phrases also fit the bill: "What kind of person do you think I am?", "Are you calling me a liar?", and "I knew this was going to happen to me!"

From the author of All You Knead Is Love and How to Make Friends with the Sea, an upper middle grade contemporary story of survival and grief about two biracial Filipino cousins whose resilience is tested when one of them is lost at sea. Cousins Coral and Isa are so close that they're practically siblings; their mothers are sisters, and the two girls grew up on the same small island. When Coral and her parents leave on a months-long sea voyage amid the islands of Indonesia, Isa is devastated that they'll be kept apart, and the two vow to write to each other no matter what. Then the unthinkable happens, and Coral's boat capsizes at sea, where her parents and the rest of the crew vanish. Washed up on a deserted island, alone and wracked by grief, she must find the strength within to survive, and find her way back home. Meanwhile, Isa is still on Pebble Island, the only one holding out hope that her beloved cousin is still alive. Told in alternating points of view, this is a powerful story of loss and hope, love and family—and the unexpected resilience of the human spirit.

It's the worst summer on record for nearly-twelve-year-old Callie Boone. Not only has she been ditched by her best friend for someone more "awesome", but she may never live down her recent humiliation at the community pool. Her ex-drillsargeant mom is on her case, and her uncle Danny has moved in--along with cages of ferrets that he hopes to make his fortune breeding as pets, and which Callie's cranky grandma despises. The only things keeping her afloat are dive practices with her dad and a secret Olympic dream. That is, until a boy named Hoot moves in next door. But just when everything finally seems to be going her way, disaster strikes--one day she comes home to an ambulance in the driveway... only it's not her crotchety old grandma who's being taken away, it's her beloved dad. Now it's up to Callie to grow up fast and hold on tight to what matters most: her friendship with Hoot, the love of her family and a newfound belief in herself. This is a story that will make readers laugh and cry. There are no magic spells or paranormal characters, and the only fantasy is Callie's athletic dream. It's real, honest, crazy everyday life with all the joy and the agony that come with the territory.

With lush art by NYT Best Illustrated recipient Violeta Lópiz, a picture book about a boy and his larger-than-life immigrant grandfather, who shares with him the kind of learning that's not found in books. At six years old, the child-narrator of this picture book loves nothing more than spending time with his grandpa, Luis--especially in his marvelous garden, where green beans reach as high as the sky. Luis's garden is where the little boy practices reading and writing. But just as importantly, it's also where he learns wonderful things from Luis, like the names of all the birds in the trees and new expressions that are so much fun to say. Luis's playful vocabulary is as vibrant and full of life as his garden, and phrases that are particular to his way of talking, like "at the drop of a cat" (which means right away), are soon adapted into the little boy's lexicon, too. A talented cook, artist, and gardener, Luis has much wisdom to impart and many experiences to share with his grandson--even though, as a war refugee, he never went to school himself and never learned to read and write. A loving testament to the intergenerational transmission of knowledge and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world, illustrated with evocative, multilayered art by Violeta Lópiz.

A child and beloved grandma bond over birds during the grandma's final days. When Grandma gets sick and comes to stay at her grandchild's house, she brings her bird feeder. Grandma loves birds. And the child loves the time they spend together, drawing bird pictures and "talking about interesting things." Grandma's health declines, however. She moves to the hospice, where the child hangs the bird feeder outside her window. There, though the grandma's ability to interact diminishes over time, their love for each other never wavers. Simple and deep, this quiet book speaks with empathy about the loss of a treasured grandparent, and with hope about the tomorrows — and the birds — that always come.

A Chinese-American boy gains a new understanding of his Chinese grandfather in this celebratory story of family, martial arts, and the Chinese New Year. Vinson is very excited when his grandfather comes from China for a visit. When Grandpa practices tai chi in the garden, Vinson asks to learn, hoping it will be like kung fu, full of kicks and punches. But tai chi's meditative postures are slow and still, and Vinson quickly gets bored. He can't understand why Grandpa insists on calling him by his Chinese name, Ming Da, or why he has to wear a traditional Chinese jacket to the Chinese New Year parade. As the parade assembles, however, he notices the great respect given to his grandfather and the lion dancers under his training. And when Vinson is offered a role in the parade, he realizes that being part Chinese can be pretty cool—and is ready to start learning from his grandpa's martial-arts mastery in earnest.

Darius Kellner is having a bit of a year. Since his trip to Iran this past spring, a lot has changed. He's getting along with his dad, and his best friend Sohrab is only a Skype call away. Between his first boyfriend, Landon, his varsity soccer practices, and his internship at his favorite tea shop, Darius is feeling pretty okay. Like he finally knows what it means to be Darius Kellner. Then, of course, everything changes. Darius's grandmothers are in town for a long visit while his dad is gone on business, and Darius isn't sure whether they even like him. The internship isn't what Darius thought it would be, and now he doesn't know about turning tea into his career. He was sure he liked Landon, but when he starts hanging out with Chip--soccer teammate and best friend of Trent Bolger, epic bully--well, he's just not so sure about Landon anymore, either. Darius thought he knew exactly who he was and what he wanted, but maybe he was wrong. Maybe he deserves better.

Royce (aka Rolly) is having a bad year. Not only has his mother dragged him across the country in order to be close to her aged father Arthur, a celebrated cellist, but he's also recovering from mono. When he convinces his mother to let him finish the school year by correspondence, he's left feeling isolated and lonely, and spends his time watching TV and plotting ways to get back to his friends in Nova Scotia. But before his plans can be implemented, his grandfather has a small stroke. Suddenly Arthur needs more care than Royce's mother can provide and, after a couple of hired care aides quit, Royce is pressed into service. Looking after a ninety-five-year-old-especially one as cantankerous, crafty and stubborn as Arthur-is a challenge. But as Royce gets to know the eccentric old man-who loves the Pussycat Dolls, hates Anderson Cooper and never listens to the kind of music that made him famous-he gradually comes to appreciate that his grandfather's life still has meaning. Even if Arthur himself seems to want it to end.

Sheffield United 2 Blackburn Rovers 1: Mowbray and Nyambe's thoughts
Blackburn in round two cup action at Bramall Lane
Bramall Lane, home of Sheffield United Photographer Chris Vaughan/CameraSport
Good evening and welcome to Bramall Lane for Blackburn Rovers' Carabao Cup clash against Premier League outfit Sheffield United.
Chris Wilder's men are enjoying life in the top flight, but Rovers arrive here unbeaten in four games and high on confidence having kept three clean sheets in a row.
A dramatic 3-2 win over Oldham Athletic saw Tony Mowbray's side progress through round one, thanks to two injury time goals from Stewart Downing and Joe Rothwell.
The Blades' journey in the competition starts tonight and having done the double over Blackburn in the Championship last season, Rovers will seek revenge tonight.
United were beaten by Leicester here on Saturday 2-1, while Blackburn had to settle for a 0-0 draw with Cardiff at Ewood Park.
Blackburn Rovers have laid the foundations, now it's time to build on them

PENALTY SAVED 19:52
Thanks to everyone who joined us tonight. You can view our player ratings from tonight here.
it's West Brom away next for Rovers.
Nyambe on Buckley
I felt comfortable, you can tell he's talented and I like playing with him.
Nyambe
I feel like I've been around for a while now and I've got to carry on.
Nyambe on 100 apps
It's come around really quick, I'm surprised but it's a privilege and I'm really happy.
We're gelling well together, we put in a good performance tonight.
It'll be difficult to get back into the team but I've just got to keep working hard. I'd like to think I've put myself in the back of the manager's head.
They're a Premier League team who took their chances and they punished us.
We gave them some big problems, I thought we played well it's just a shame the goals we gave away and the chances we missed.
I felt good, sharp and strong.
Nyambe on hamstring
It's just a bit of cramp I think, it was due to the workload I put in.
Ryan Nyambe up next
Mowbray on Tosin and Ben Brereton
They're not fit so I didn't pick them, I don't know whether they'll be fit for Saturday to be honest. I think the team looks pretty united at the moment anyway.
Mowbray on JRC
He's a very good player and he's been unlucky not to be getting in the team.
Mowbray
I would be disappointed in myself if I knew I'd done something wrong but I know I haven't. I feel pretty comfortable.
I shook his hand, I don't know what the gentleman in the middle thought it was.
There was no aggression in my voice, it wasn't an angry exchange.
It was the second time he'd kept the ball longer than he needed to. There was no harsh words, I was just trying to tell him as a young man he should be trying to do properly in his life.
Mowbray on red
It probably falls over the official's performance, I was trying to teach a young guy about the values of life and when to do the right thing.
Mowbray on Gallagher
He's a 6 ft 5 big lad who needs to score more with his head but I'm happy for him, we need to get him going as a centre forward now.
At the moment the strikers aren't finding the net as often as we are creating chances, which is football, I think it's coming for us.
It wasn't great play from them, they didn't push us back but it was a bit of quality for the second goal which we'll give them credit for.
They didn't really create their goals or build any pressure, that's our frustration because we didn't get what we deserved on the night.
Mowbray is here
We were pretty good at what we worked at in our game plan. We applied ourselves well but it's a frustrating night with the nature of their goals.

Q: Loop gets terminated without any error well I have been trying to write this program which accepts any number of integers until the condition is true using do while loop but the loop gets terminated even if the condition is met.I am not able to understand the flaw in my code... I would be thankful for any help
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
    int max,min,test;
    char next;
    printf("enter an integer:\n");
    scanf("%d",&max);
    min=max;
    do
    {
        printf("enter next integer:\n");
        scanf("%d",&test);
        if(test>max)
            max=test;
        else if(test<min)
            min=test;
        printf("want to enter next number y/n\n");
        scanf("%c",&next);
    }while(next=='y');
    printf("Maximum=%d\nMinimum=%d\nRange=%d\n",max,min,max-min);
    getch();
}

A: Try this ...
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
    int max,min,test;
    char next;
    printf("enter an integer:\n");
    scanf("%d",&max);
    min=max;
    do
    {
        printf("enter next integer:\n");
        scanf("%d",&test);
        getchar();        // added this
        if(test>max)
            max=test;
        else if(test<min)
            min=test;
        printf("want to enter next number y/n\n");
        scanf("%c",&next);
    }while(next=='y');
    printf("Maximum=%d\nMinimum=%d\nRange=%d\n",max,min,max-min);
    getch();
}

After taking input test when you are pressing Enter your code takes Enter as a new line character. To avoid this, take that new line character through getchar().

A: When reading input through scanf(), It will not consume return key so '\n' will remain there in stdin waiting to read for next char input. That is why your program is coming out of loop. So to avoid this problem use getchar() after scanf("%d",&test);.

A: in else if (condition) you have written test<min, where variable min does not have any value. you should write
else if(test<max)
(
 min = test
)

4 Anime That Will Help You Forget How Stupidly Hot It Is
Are you melting to death in 90 degree weather? Do you absolutely not want to watch something that's going to remind you of the sun-soaked hell scape that your puny human body is forced to endure? These four anime are will have you wanting to snuggle up under some blankets and down some hot chocolate - an impulse you should not give into, as it is in fact still summer.
1. Yuri on Ice
Given that it's an anime about figure skating, one would expect Yuri on Ice to take place in the winter. Every other scene takes place on a skating rink, while the off-rink scenes often include snow, fog, and other cooler weather conditions. The only thing that might have you overheating is the site of Victor's butt, but that kind of heat is a lot more fun than dying next to a busted air conditioner.
2. ERASED
There's no plot related reason for the snowy atmosphere of ERASED, but it adds to the bleak and beautiful ambiance of the story. This anime focuses on Satoru Fujinuma as he travels back in time to try to prevent his childhood friend Kayo from being murdered. That's a heavy plot, but if you're looking for some darkness to go along with your snow, ERASED might be right up your alley.
3. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
While the actual anime series takes place in an ambiguously springlike season, the spin-off movie The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya takes place in the dead of winter, forcing its characters into a heavy coats. Not only will this anime put you in a cooler state of mind, it'll also remind you of the less delightful aspects of winter time - quite a few characters end up sick with horrible colds. Unless you're nursing your own summer illness, this movie make you feel grateful for the unreasonably hot season.
4. 5 Centimeters Per Second
This romance anime is about the heartbreakingly fleeting nature of love. Winter serves as a bit of an antagonist, as it's a storm that stops the two main characters from meeting up as planned, but the gorgeous wintery scenery more than makes up for it. Stare longingly at the snow and feel yourself transported somewhere far away - somewhere where your armpits haven't transformed into actual, honest-to-god swamps.
What are some other wintery anime that can serve as a safe alternative to burying yourself alive under bags of ice? Let us know in the comments.
Wait...there's more.

Symptom severity, alcohol craving, and age of trauma onset in childhood and adolescent trauma survivors with comorbid alcohol dependence and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Schumacher JA1, Coffey SF, Stasiewicz PR.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol dependence (AD) are frequently comorbid disorders. Given evidence that childhood traumas may be associated with broader, more severe psychological sequelae than later traumas, the present study examined whether the association between alcohol and trauma symptomatology is more pronounced among individuals with earlier trauma onsets in a sample of 42 childhood and adolescent trauma survivors diagnosed with comorbid AD-PTSD. As predicted, individuals reporting childhood traumas reported greater severity of trauma and alcohol symptoms and greater alcohol craving. These results suggest that individuals with childhood trauma histories may be particularly vulnerable to relapse following AD treatment.

Lea Michele Gives Heart-warming Interview About Cory Monteith

Lea Michele gives a heartwarming interview about Cory Monteith
Lea Michele reminisces about life with Cory Monteith, while admitting her ongoing struggle to deal with his death. Don't miss the emotional interview...
Lea Michele has given another touching interview about her tragic loss of her boyfriend, Cory Monteith.
Opening up about his death in July, Lea told Ellen she felt like the 'luckiest girl in the world' when she was darting her Glee co-star.
In her new interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Lea reminisced about the time Cory had confirmed their relationship when appearing on the show.
'It's one of my favourite memories. I remember when he came home that night he kind of puffed out his chest and he was like, 'I talked about you on Ellen today.' she recalled, giving the whole room butterflies.
'I was so happy. He's such a private person and I literally lived everyday of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world.
'I just thought he was the greatest man and so at that moment, that memory, it means so much to me.'
Still struggling to come to terms with the loss of 31-year-old Cory, who died from a toxic combination of drugs and alcohol in a Vancouver hotel room, Lea said: 'I really feel like I'm still trying to figure out all of this.'

She also thanked Glee creator Ryan Murphy for his support in returning to the show, before adding: 'This grief goes with you everyday whatever you're doing. There's great moments [and] hard moments so I'd rather, for me, be at work with the people who I love that are going through and it obviously has it's own triggers, but at the end of the day I feel so safe there. And like I said, they're my family.'
Another show of incredible strength from Lea, so brave.

Q: Android conver audio to 16-bit PCM I have an Android project need to read any Audio format and convert it to 16-bit PCM format. Is it a possible?
If not , is possible just convert some popular audio format ?
If it possible , can somebody suggest 3rd library to do it?
Very thankful.

A: You shouldn't need a third-party library, the MediaCodec and related classes have been in the SDK since API v16: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec.html
