Pressure grows on VA chief Eric Shinseki to quit after critical report
Featuring Phillip Carter

Journalists Richard Simon, Cindy Carcamo
A scathing report finding a systemic problem at Veterans Affairs medical facilities nationwide, including manipulation of records to mask long waits for appointments, fueled new calls Wednesday for VA chief Eric K. Shinseki's resignation.
As the number of sites under investigation grew to 42, up from the 26 previously reported, the allegations over VA medical care have mushroomed into an election-year issue and become a major political headache for the Obama administration.
"We are finding that inappropriate scheduling practices are a systemic problem nationwide," said the interim report, which identified 1,700 veterans at the Phoenix VA Health Care System waiting for an appointment but not on a waiting list and therefore "at risk of being forgotten or lost" in the scheduling process.

Welcome to Yarpole, nestling in rolling countryside in North Herefordshire, mid way between the
market towns of Ludlow and Leominster.
Yarpole comes together to celebrate 10 years since the re-ordering of St Leonard's Church.
See us on BBC Midlands today.
The community came to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the re-ordering of St Leonard's Church; a project costing more than a quarter of a million pounds. The celebrations started with a service of remembrance and thanks for the project led by the very reverend Derek Chedzey, the Archdeacon of Hereford Cathedral. Several speakers reminded us of the journey taken by the parish in breaking new ground with the incorporation of the community shop and gallery café within the church. 10 years ago this was a radical proposition and Yarpole became the first working church in the UK with a full-time Community Shop and Post Office within its interior. The Shop was joined by the Gallery Café and a vibrant community hub was created which continues to flourish.
We were reminded of the dire state of the unmodernised church which was dark, dank and in winter, extremely cold. The church which exists now is totally the opposite being light and airy, warm and welcoming. It now functions as the heart of the community and is host to public meetings, concerts, plays and dances. It is used every Thursday morning by a local art group. As well as all of this it is a fully functioning church for worship.
This ground breaking journey, now being copied by other churches and other communities, was only possible because of a coming together of the community working in partnership with the church authorities. This partnership still exists today and St Leonard's Church is used as an example of good practice. The church which in mediaeval times was the meeting place for the community is now returning to this purpose.
The service was followed by a lunch at the Bell Inn, Yarpole's newly acquired community pub. 90 servings of bangers and mash were consumed at very happy gathering. The Bell humming with the noise of convivial conversation and the warmth of community spirit.
However, the journey continues. The chancel is still in need of modernisation. The organ, a rare example of its kind, requires extensive renovation. A permanent heating solution needs to be found after the failure of the wood pellet boiler. As is the story with many churches money is needed for their repair, renovation and upkeep.
If you feel that you can you can help, please donate to the church using the link below.
(We use Golden Giving, a charitable website which ensures that we receive the whole of your donation to us. Sites such as JustGiving charge a fee of 5% on each donation as well as a monthly fee. This clearly reduces the value of any donations to us).
There has been a community recorded here for over 2000 years. The village is mentioned in the Doomsday Book. The Anglo-Saxon meaning of Yarpole (Iarpol or Yarpol) is fish pool or dam for containing fish. The original fish pool has long since been abandoned, the remains of the dam wall are still visible.
Yarpole still retains its red telephone kiosk, its pub, The Bell Inn (The Bell Inn is in need of new tennants, see The Bell at Yarpole page for more details), and has an award winning community run village shop and Post Office operating from within the Parish Church, St Leonard's. The first full time shop in a church.
The Parish has a population of approximately 700 and comprises of the villages of Bircher and Lucton, the community on Bircher Common and the hamlet of Bicton.

How long would it take for an auto-based evacuation of the Halifax peninsula in the case of an emergency or disaster?
This isn't something that's top of mind for the average person, but Ahsan Habib has wondered about it since he first moved to Halifax in 2010. The Dalhousie University transportation professor has been actively researching evacuating the Halifax peninsula using traffic microsimulation modelling.
"When I moved to the coastal city of Halifax, I thought this is probably one thing that we should start thinking about just as an idea, but it became a project later on when we saw these extreme events happening south of the border," Habib recalled in an interview.
Working with Kevin Quigley, a professor in Dalhousie University's school of public administration, Habib said they received funding from the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR). That was swiftly followed by federal funding from Defence Research and Development Canada to dig deeper and understand more about the intricacies around how to evacuate the Halifax peninsula.
On Sept. 25, Habib was one of several panellists who participated in a discussion that coincided with the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Juan. Titled "Sink or Swim: Decisions in Emergency Management," it was hosted by the MacEachen Institute for Public Policy and Governance in partnership with MEOPAR.
Experts in emergency management, flood modelling and prediction, and evacuation traffic modelling took the opportunity to discuss emergency preparedness for future coastal risks and evacuation scenarios.
"There is a need of understanding the system because we are on the hurricane path no matter what. All the hurricanes that we saw in North Carolina, South Carolina that could hit us. Juan came to us," Habib said.
A collaborator from the Nova Scotia Community College created a flood risk model to determine which Halifax roads could become flooded in a variety of scenarios. They came up with a 2.9-metre flood level scenario first, comparable to what occurred during Hurricane Juan. That was followed by 3.9-metre and 7.9-metre flooding scenarios and then the most extreme cases of 15 and then 30 metres.
"In those last most extreme cases, the Halifax peninsula becomes an island, and I have no job to do because that's probably the navy's job at that point," Habib said.
The traffic model was generated using the 2.9-, 3.9- and 7.9-metre flooding scenarios. They set an assumption that the event would occur on a weekday at 10 a.m., when the Halifax peninsula has the most people residing and working in the core. The model was also based solely on an auto-evacuation of 57,000 vehicles.
The results showed that with no flooding, full public compliance and no unexpected incidents, it would take almost 11 hours to evacuate the peninsula. Add a 2.9-metre water surge and that jumps to 13 hours. With 3.9 metres of flooding, it becomes a 15-hour evacuation.
The most flood-prone roadway in Halifax, according to their data, is the Armdale roundabout. Using the 2.9-metre flooding scenario, almost 18 per cent of the roundabout becomes flooded. At 3.9 metres, that jumps to 43.5 per cent, while at 7.9 metres, it becomes 88.7 per cent flooded.
The Bedford Highway is the second-most flood-prone stretch, according to the modelling. Under the 7.9-metre scenario, 47.8 per cent of that roadway becomes flooded.
Habib said anyone who's ever been stuck in snarled Halifax traffic knows how quickly things can bottleneck, and that's without a flooding situation.
"We are now thinking about what could be our countermeasures? We have the traffic model and now we are using that traffic model to run alternative scenarios," he said.
Those alternatives include how much they can rely on transit (bus) to reduce road traffic and get more people off the peninsula during an auto-based evacuation.
"We are also trying to identify what should be the pick-up locations if we are using the buses, and how we use those bus scenarios to see how much improvement that we can do in terms of total clearance time," Habib said.
One of his graduate students is also examining the best potential evacuation routes. Habib said that might include using Robie St. or opening up roadways to have all traffic going out of the city in both the outbound and inbound lanes.
"We are looking at whether all that actually reduces not only just the total time, but also other aspects because some areas got really, really gridlocked," he said of the simulations.
He and his students are also considering where evacuees would go in the event of a mass exodus of the Halifax peninsula.
"Where are the shelters? In our model assumption, we only have two locations, NSCC in Dartmouth and CP Allen High School in Bedford," he said.
Habib said they've reached out to emergency management officials and others to get input about different potential shelter locations to include in future modelling.
"We'll probably gain more understanding of how we can efficiently, effectively plan to evacuate," he said.
Rather than simply being an academic curiosity, Habib said his research has the very practical application of informing potential future risk management should there ever be a scenario that requires a mass evacuation of the peninsula.
"We'll explore how much we can actually achieve through these countermeasures … to get around the challenges with these limited number of exits (off the peninsula)," Habib said.

Vice President of India to meet top 50 pharma CEOs at 70th IPC
By Rakesh Sharma	 Last updated Jun 3, 2019
70th IPC LOC conducts final review meeting at PHD Chamber
Exactly 40 days before the 70th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress (IPC), the Local Organizing Committee of IPC has conducted a review meeting of its 25 task committees on November 11, 2018 at the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry in New Delhi.
In his opening remarks, BR Sikri, LOC Chairman of 70th IPC, updated the attendees about the last meeting held at Sun Pharma House on October 20 in Mumbai. He also imparted the good news that Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President, India has agreed to be a part of the inaugural session of the 70th IPC. He further informed that LOC will arrange to have a meeting of the top 50 pharma CEOs before the inauguration over breakfast at the venue of IPC itself. The LOC is also inviting Jagat Prakash Nadda Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Suresh Prabhu, Commerce Minister, Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan, S&T and Environmental and Forest Minister, and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and looking forward to a positive response.
The LOC has already prepared a list of top 50 Indian pharma CEOs of which 7-10 CEOs category wise will be given a speaking slot of five to 10 minutes. He also informed that for the first time in the history of IPC, this year, the LOC of 70th IPC is also going to invite key embassies with whom India has pharma business and representatives of industry associations like IDMA, BDMA, FOPE, CIPI, AIDCOC, etc. In addition to this, it is proposed to invite all national level Apex bodies like FICCI, CII, Assocham, PHD etc. He hopes that the participation of these embassies and consulates will help enhance pharma business relationships with them. Key focus will be on China with whom India has huge business. In addition secretaries of MOH, DOP, S&T, Commerce, Biotechnology, Officers of NITI Ayog , ICMR, AIIMS, all state regulators etc, will also be invited.
Sikri thanked several individuals who have contributed significantly in ensuring the success of 70th IPC. He also extended his gratitude to Youth Wings for spreading the message of 70th IPC on various social media platforms.
The LOC has also adopted many new ideas in this year's IPC. This year, there will be participation from not only manufacturers of plants and machineries but also from API and pharma manufacturing segments.
In support of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan by the Government of India led by Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, India, a cleanliness campaign with nearly 500 people including all the task committee members volunteers, will be conducted on the morning of December 20, morning at 11 am in and around Amity Campus. It will be the first time in the history of IPC that such a positive move is being initiated by LOC. On the same day, there will be a press conference by the key members of 70th IPC between 2-4 pm at Hotel Holiday Inn, followed by statutory meeting of governing body followed by dinner.
Another feature in the event is that first time spiritual master Anandmurti Gurumaa will be the Chief Guest for the valedictory session. Her spiritual discourse are motivational particularly for youth and that is the reason that LOC has chosen a very dynamic and compassionate spiritual personality.
Taking over from Sikri, Atul Nasa, Organising Secretary, 70th IPC, mentioned about the key challenges faced by registration and scientific committees. He informed that the student registration process is closed and asked the respective task committee heads to seek more registration from the industry. Recalling previous year's registration, he informed that this year the number has almost doubled.
During the first week of December, the LOC will organise a 'Bhoomi Poojan' ceremony at the Amity University Campus for initiating IPC work. To avoid any mishaps, the LOC has a stringent security mechanism in place and has decided to implement a barcode system at all halls. Besides this, there will be some value added services like body checkups.
All the committees are well prepared and gearing up themselves for the august gathering.

By admin , in Ankylosing Spondylitis on February 2, 2019 .
This disease mainly occurs rheumatic in men and presents with pain and swelling in the lower the spine, as well as in severe cases causes loss mobility and progressive deformity. Their detection and treatment can stop its devastating consequences.
Ankylosing spondylitis, has accompanied human beings since ancient times, because thanks to the study embalmed body know that several pharaohs of ancient Egypt had disease that deforms the spine and reduces its flexibility. However, it still represents an enigma for medicine, because that it is unclear neither the cause nor a cure has been found.
This condition is characterized by joint and ligaments that allow movement of the lower back or region sacroiliac (joint between pelvis and spine) have episodes swelling, soreness and stiffness. Over time this problem can be around the trunk, initiating a process of degeneration in the bones (vertebrae) may merge or unite, so that the column becomes rigid and inflexible.
The severity of symptoms and the likelihood of disability vary from person to person, since there are times when the discomfort occasionally occur throughout life and cause no difficulties, but there are also cases where complications are considerable and the condition affects the other body regions. Fortunately, we know that early diagnosis and proper treatment help control pain and stiffness and to reduce or prevent deformities.
It is estimated that ankylosing spondylitis is three times more frequent in men and develops, usually between 16 and 40 ages of no known cause, but there may be predisposing genetics because the disease is 10 to 20 times more frequent people whose parents or siblings have it, since recent research have shown that a particular gene (known as HLA-B27) is in over 90% of patients.
The first manifestations of the disease develop slowly over several weeks or months, with alternating periods normal activity with episodes of chronic pain and stiffness in back low hip and these outbreaks are unusual submitted after or during times of rest or inactivity, so that the person concerned wakes in the middle of the night with discomfort in the spine and is very stiff in the morning.
If time pass and no treatment are given to identical disturbances can affect the upper spine including the rib cage and neck. As mentioned, the inflammation can cause bones to fuse or grow together, so that back, neck and chest lose their normal flexibility and may even limit the expansion normal breast and make breathing difficult.
Ankylosing spondylitis also comes to affect to hips, shoulders, knees, ankles and heels, thus limiting their movement significantly and causes embarrassment when standing or walking surfaces hard; also been observed that may involve other organs and cause fever, loss of appetite, fatigue and inflammation in lungs, heart and iris of the eye (iritis); regard to the latter worth mentioning that when there is a serious condition that requires immediate attention of an ophthalmologist and may present up in a quarter of cases, causing redness and pain in the globe worse eye when looking at bright light.
All this is due to ankylosing spondylitis occurs when the immune system (which defends against infections and diseases) undergoes an alteration and starts attacking those cells body mistaken for invading microorganisms, as well, although the antibodies damaged first defense to a specific region of the spine, no wonder that extend to other areas, as already mentioned, and affect. Still not entirely clear why this reaction, known as autoimmune, and although it is believed that the longer HLA-B27 quoted has some responsibility, only 2% of those who possess at risk of developing this condition.
The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis usually spend unnoticed in its early stages, as they were confused with a problem minor annoyance (by poor posture while sitting, tension excessive, or impingement of the sciatic nerve, for example) also Women may have problems the mildest form, by so detection becomes difficult in the early stages.
Most patients visit the doctor when discomfort in the back is more common and important, so the rheumatologist diagnosis is based on the observation symptoms, physical examination and questions aimed at establish the patient's medical history or the presence of problems Similar to other members of the family.
It is common for the specialist request radiographs of the spine and affected joints (especially the base of the spine and hips) to know the degree of deterioration and the possible formation or fusion of bony bridges between vertebrae that causes stiffness of the spine. Other tests are often helpful reviews blood and detection of HLA-B27 gene.
The vast majority of patients with ankylosing spondylitis who are diagnosed and adhere to their treatment can lead a normal life and productive, although not ruling out the possibility that in some cases the evolution of the disease is greater and causes severe deformities.
Drug therapy is based on an anti-inflammatory group specific (named by scholars "nonsteroidal") in order to reduce pain and inflammation in joints and back. Also are used for short periods of muscle relaxants, oral or direct application to eliminate discomfort and occasional transient.
More important still is the practice of exercise recommended by the rheumatologist, as thanks it prevents the deformation of the spine (may suffer forward curvature which becomes permanent without treatment) and loss of flexibility as well as capacity increases of the lungs to function properly. Without doubt, the best exercise to strengthen the back of people affected is swimming, while not recommend contact sports and set (tennis, soccer, basketball) for the latent possibility of injury.
Sleeping on a firm mattress with a thin pillow on the back or one that you give support for the neck, the legs should remain straight and avoid, at all costs, the "fetal position".
When walking or sitting, back be as straight as possible, with shoulders back and head straight. You can verify the position of relying back to a wall, heels, buttocks; shoulders and head should touching the surface simultaneously.
Avoid the use of belts or corsets to immobilize the spine, because it does not offer assistance or improvement.
Do not lift too much weight to not force the spine.
Eradicate the habit of Non-smoking impair respiratory function.
Take a shower in the morning or before exercising to relax muscles and relieve stiffness.
If the flexibility of the back is very limited, it is recommended to ask your advice to a rheumatologist to use special or technical articles to assist in work and put socks and shoes.
Finally, note that both treatment and medical monitoring should be made for life, and the possibility of relapse is always latent. Also, should be clarified that although there are surgeries to replace joints (hip, knee and shoulder) that they allow the flexibility of many patients; they only performed in specialized sites and reserved for extreme cases. The best alternative for ankylosing spondylitis, for now, remains the combination of exercises, management of inflammatory and supervision by the rheumatologist.

Q: Access File using FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS with a limit on cache size I want to access a file uisng using FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS. But when a large file is accessed via FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS, huge memory consumption could result in bad system performance. Is there a way to put a limit on cache size for a specific file handle?

A: Windows doesn't provide a way to set a maximum cache size, but this is relatively easy to implement on your own.  Open the file with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING and implement your own cache with an LRU list to determine when to evict blocks.  Note that starting with Windows Server 2016, FILE_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS is less aggressive about retaining data in the cache, so this is less of a concern.  Microsoft still recommends avoiding this flag, however.
Further reading: Troubleshoot Cache and Memory Manager Performance Issues

A: Yes there is a way to control file buffering in Windows but you will need to ditch the C++ standard library and use low-level OS file I/O APIs. If you are still interested, start reading here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365199(v=vs.85).aspx

Source feedback survey
Is the policy clear? Facts about gun incident surface during faculty meeting
Bobby Shipman
A previous report stated that a distance education student brought a handgun onto USI's campus in a holster, but Mathematics Professor Kathy Rodgers, who discovered the gun, said it was concealed in a small bag and that the student lied about its contents.
President Linda Bennett attended the Faculty Senate Friday to clarify "misinformation" about the Feb. 18 incident.
Rodgers, who was also at the meeting, said the handgun was located inside a "little grey bag" with a zipper the woman had attached to her waist.
"If she had been sitting in my classroom, I would not have been able to ask her what was in it," Rodgers said to the Senate.
The woman was headed into a conference room because of an arrangement that was made for her to take a test at a special time, Rodgers said.
"When they do that, I get their book bag – hopefully their cheat notes," she said.
She told the student she needed to know what was is in the bag that was still attached to her, she said.
"She first told me it was candy," Rodgers said.
She said the woman responded, "You're not going to want to see it," then whispered to Rodgers that it was a gun and offered to reveal her permit.
Rodgers said she then called 911 and Public Safety.
"This student, I don't think, knew the policy," Rodgers said. "But she sensed there was something not right about it, otherwise she wouldn't have lied about it."
Rodgers said she could tell that as soon as she called Public Safety, action began to take place.
"By the time that I finished the phone call and was out of the office, a security officer was (in the Science Center)," she said. "He was out of breath."
Bennett commended Rodgers for the calm manner in which she handled the situation.
"Very quickly, this was a situation wherein the moment that Public Safety arrived, and the moment the student was asked for the weapon, she relinquished it," Bennett said.
No RAVE Alert was sent out, she said, because there was no threatening behavior and because the girl expressed no intent to use the weapon.
Bennett said faculty and administrators have a responsibility as to how they communicate over social media because it could result in unnecessary panic.
"This (incident) caught on and spread more widely than we had anticipated," Bennett said. "I regret that that happened. I got concerned as to the impact it would have on everyone involved."
Faculty Senate Chair Jason Fertig asked at what point should a formal report be administered in similar cases.
"Students and faculty both went to social media about this event and stirred the pot," Fertig said. "And that's not healthy."
Bennett said there was a clear procedure that was followed and was handled correctly by Public Safety.
"I think Public Safety does a very good job in collaboration with the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office," she said.
She pointed out that the Sheriff's Office frequents USI's campus more often than people think to make sure things are in order, adding that they know their way around campus.
An email was sent to Bennett stating that during the incident, two sheriff's deputies were wandering around campus looking for the woman, who was already with a Public Safety officer, but Bennett said that is untrue.
A Shield reporter arrived at the Science Center shortly after receiving the tip and scanned the second floor.
The reporter headed to the first floor as the deputies arrived. They surveyed the first floor to no avail and the reporter had to explain to them that the building had two more floors.
The reporter reached the third floor, where the incident was occurring, several minutes before the two officers did.
Director of Public Safety Stephen Woodall said the incident was not the first time a weapon has been seized on USI property.
There was an incident where a student, who was a hunter, had a bow and arrow in his apartment and was unaware of the policy, Woodall said.
A similar incident occurred, he added, involving a student with a shotgun, who was also a hunter and was also unaware of the policy.
"I don't recall any violations of law regarding weapons," he said. "Because there's a difference."
Senator Jennifer Williams, a representative from the Romain College of Business, asked Woodall where students can learn about the university's policy regarding weapons on campus.
"This student didn't understand. Those students didn't understand. What are we doing to make students understand?" Williams said.
Student Affairs informs students about university policies, Bennett said, but she admitted she is unaware of the clarity or focus on the matter.
Williams asked about posting signs.
"We tried that with smoking and the signs kept disappearing," Bennett replied.
According the USI Student Handbook "the transfer, sale, use of, possession of weapons, including but not limited to: firearms, ammunition, bombs, explosives, clubs, dirks, martial arts weapons, sling shots, bows and arrows, sabers, swords, knives with blades in excess of three (3) inches except kitchen knives used in the preparation and/or serving of food, war souvenirs, incendiary devices, fireworks, paintball guns, pellet guns, BB guns, stun weapons, Tasers, or look-alikes, dangerous chemicals or fuels, or other destructive devices or substances, are not allowed on University-owned or controlled property unless permission for possession and/or use has been authorized by an appropriate University official."
The handbook also states that a student who violates the policy regarding explosives, weapons and fireworks is subject to disciplinary action by the university.
Bennett said the university continues to look for ways to enhance emergency preparedness and look into any policy revisions that are necessary.
"I am not supportive of increasing the number of weapons on campus," she said. "But I will certainly listen to any proposals that come forward."

DEA License
What is a DEA License?
Many rules have been formed around prescriptions and generic medications. Medications are an important part of many people's lives, but some medications can be incredibly dangerous if they're misused. That's why in the United States, many medications have specific requirements for prescription and use.
One of the ways that a doctor can prescribe a potentially dangerous medicine is through the DEA. If a doctor is prescribing controlled substances, they must have a DEA license in the United States, or the prescription process is illegal. This is one way of checking the legitimacy of a specific doctor or psychiatrist.
What Is the DEA?
The DEA is the Drug Enforcement Agency. In the United States, the DEA is the organization that combats drug trafficking and distribution, and it cooperates with other organizations like the FBI, ICE, and DHS to attempt to stop illegal drug trafficking. That's why physicians and practitioners need to go through the DEA if they want to prescribe otherwise illegal drugs.
A DEA license allows a physician or practitioner to prescribe a controlled substance, which may otherwise be illegal for people to own or consume. With a DEA license, a practitioner or physician can prescribe these controlled substances; practitioners and physicians could prescribe non-controlled substances without a DEA license, but it's typically crucial to obtain a DEA license due to the vastness of controlled substances.
To receive a DEA license, the practitioner must meet certain requirements, which include having a license to practice medicine in the state they're requesting the DEA license. They'll also have to pay a fee to apply for the license and give some general information to the DEA.
How Can Someone Use Information About a DEA License?
One of the most important elements of a DEA license is that it proves an individual can do certain things, such as prescribe otherwise controlled substances. There are also other ways a DEA license might be beneficial for someone:
Making sure someone is who they say they are.
Knowing whether or not someone is allowed to practice medicine.
Ensuring someone has received their license within the last three years.
Of course, there are also other ways you can use information about a DEA license. Especially if you're currently involved in something like a private investigation, getting someone's DEA license number could be a great way to learn more about them. However, only you will know whether it could be helpful to your own needs.
What Can Enformion Do to Help Me Look Up DEA License Information?
When you're looking up DEA license information, you want to make sure you're getting the best information, updated regularly. The regular updates are especially important since DEA licenses only last for three years. Enformion can often help you find more information about DEA licenses and other information that can help you clarify someone's identity. No matter what type of information you're looking for or how you hope to get it, looking through Enformion is often a great way to gather that information.

extratimeonline.com / News / NEWS / WORLD FOOTBALL / World Cup 2022: Neymar declared fit to face South Korea in last-16 tie
Bashiru Awudu
Neymar is available for Brazil's World Cup last-16 match against South Korea on Monday, coach Tite has confirmed.
The forward, 30, missed Brazil's last two group games after sustaining ligament damage in his right ankle in the opening match against Serbia.
Brazil, one of the pre-tournament favourites, qualified for the knockout stage with a game to spare and topped Group G despite defeat by Cameroon.
Asked on Sunday whether Neymar would be fit to return, Tite replied "yes".
He added: "Neymar will train today in the afternoon and if he trains well he will play."
The Paris St-Germain star was replaced in 80th minute of his nation's 2-0 win over Serbia after a heavy tackle by Nikola Milenkovic and later described the injury as "one of the hardest moments of my career".
Neymar wrote on Instagram: "Nothing in my life came easy and I've always had to work for my dreams and goals. I have never wished anyone anything bad and always helped who needed.
"I'm injured, yes it's not nice, it will hurt but I'm sure I will have the chance to come back because I'll do everything possible to help my country, my team-mates and myself."
Neymar has suffered a number of injury problems with his right foot over the past few years, missing the 2019 Copa America after suffering torn ligaments in his ankle and then spending several weeks recovering from a similar injury in 2021.
Defender Danilo is also fit to return for Brazil, but Alex Telles and forward Gabriel Jesus have been ruled out for the rest of the tournament.

Q: CoreAnimation layer causes WebView to not redraw properly In a project I have been working on I wanted to use CoreAnimation layers to improve tableview rendering, however when i turned on Core Animation for certain layers it caused issues with my WebView.
https://github.com/jozefdransfield/TestWebView demonstrates a WebView inside a view displaying a large image. Which reproduces the issue I am seeing.
If View has Core Animation Layer checked then the WebView does not draw the image properly if you scroll within the webView, with it uncheck the webView behaves as expected.
Has anyone seen this issue before and have an idea how to fix/work around it. Or can you simply not mix webviews with CALayers?

By An upcoming birthday has David Parr thinking about health and safety past and present on 04 February 2019
At the start of a new year, we often ponder on what the coming year will bring about as well as reflecting on the previous year's events.
As I approach a watershed birthday soon, I have started to reflect on the many changes I have witnessed throughout my working career and also to look at where the future direction of health, safety and wellbeing may be going.
There is no doubt that the UK, in particular, has progressed a long way in recognising the importance of sound health and safety management and adopting good standards from a moral and financial perspective. Historically, legislation has driven improvements, often unfortunately following a catastrophic event and there is no doubt that a robustly-implemented legislative framework has been essential in ensuring that health and safety is incorporated into good business practice.
This approach has helped ensure that physical injuries sustained from workplace activities have been dramatically reduced over the last 40 years, although it is still completely unacceptable in my view that the 144 workplace fatalities reported last year, are still occurring at all in this day and age.
However, recent years have seen a wider acceptance of the business benefits of adopting good health and safety practices, and the more enlightened businesses are actively integrating health and safety into all aspects of their business operations.
When I think back to my days as an apprentice electrician in the mid-70s – which should confirm the notable approaching birthday – the improvements in working conditions and expectations for workers have dramatically improved.
I vividly recall working on a construction site when a scaffolder was fatally injured following a fall from height while working in driving rain.
The horrendous incident was made worse by the fact that his son was working with him at the time and witnessed it.
The site was closed for the day while investigations were carried out but, unbelievably, operations resumed the following day as the project was behind schedule. A real-life example straight from the pages of The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists.
Robert Tressell's novel the Ragged Trousers, about workers who acquiesce in their own exploitation in the interests of their bosses, is considered an important piece of social history. Photograph: Wikimedia
I would like to think that we have come a long way since those days both in terms of workplace conditions and attitudes toward health, safety and welfare.
The last few years have seen a welcome focus on the impact that workplace conditions and expectations can and do have on people's health. In particular, the adverse effects that job demands, management expectations and pressures can cause on an individual's mental health are now recognised in the more progressive organisations as causal factors in long-term absenteeism, staff turnover, loss of productivity, increased accidents and incidents of non-conformance.
Having experienced a mental health related issue on a personal level over a number of years, I can bear testimony to the effect a lack of managerial support and understanding has on an individual's wellbeing.
The introduction of a globally- developed international standard for health and safety management (ISO 45001) last year was a welcome and positive step toward harmonising the approach to health and safety management issues.
The standard places explicit requirements on the top management of an organisation and requires them to demonstrate leadership and commitment in several aspects of health and safety, not least of which is the requirement to develop and promote a positive culture.
There are numerous concepts and definitions of what is meant by safety culture and all have valid foundations, but personally I have always believed that it is merely an aspect of an organisation's overall ethos and culture.
It is, of course, essential that legal compliance and a sound framework for managing risk are established and effectively maintained, but these factors are just the building blocks on which a positive culture is built.
Senior top management demonstrable commitment towards promoting and leading an inclusive culture whereby all employees – and indeed other stakeholders – are valued and respected is essential in developing a positive organisational culture.
In my experience it can become quite a glib commitment from top management levels and is much harder to genuinely implement and maintain.
With the advent of a global health and safety management standard, increased expectations on top management and an increased appreciation of the importance of mental health, I remain optimistic that the future employee can thrive in a safe, healthy and positive environment wherever he or she may work.

Being a relatively new field, few studies exist on video mapping and data is in short supply.
As part of the Video Mapping European Center initiative, les Rencontres Audiovisuelles and the DeVisu laboratory of the University of Valenciennes are conducting a research project in Arenberg Creative Mine, supported by the Hauts-de-France Region and the European Union (ERDF programme).
We are studying the evolution of writing for video mapping, which calls for the development of a new lexical field, specific to the different creative contexts (mapping on monuments, objects, etc.) and forms of writing (narrative, interactive, etc.).
Technologies play an important role in the evolution of video mapping, by broadening up artistic possibilities and generating economic models.
Video mapping involves different public relations to those of traditional audiovisual forms, with variations of scale, an appeal to the body, to movement that differs to that of film, and settings that vary greatly from one configuration to another (from a monument façade to a 360° mapped object).
We are looking to create a "barometer" of the video mapping sector: the state of the art in trends, productions, showcases, etc.
These research projects are based on various experiments, residencies and meetings with actors in the sector. The results of these efforts can be accessed in part on this website, or at various seminars and symposium.


Roach said a couple aldermen may not seek re-election, but those individuals would announce their decisions later.
Residents of Ward 5 interested in filling Marsh's vacancy can submit their resumes to Jamie Bordoni, jbordoni@ofallon.org or dropped off at City Hall between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by Friday, July 20.
"There are a lot of O'Fallon citizens in Ward 5 that would do a great job on the City Council. I would like to open up the opportunity for any residents of Ward 5 to apply to fill the vacant seat on the City Council," Roach said.
Roach is expected to make a recommendation to the City Council prior to the Aug. 6 council meeting, and the aldermen must vote prior to Sept. 5.
State law requires that the mayor must forward a replacement to the City Council within 60 days after the vacancy occurs. The council then has 30 days to approve the appointment. There are no requirements in the state law on how the mayor selects the replacement.
The council has 14 aldermen, two serving from each of its seven wards.
The council is expected to return to city hall for the Aug. 6 council meeting, the mayor announced. He said that renovation work on city hall may be completed within two to three weeks, but they do not have a specific date yet.
In his report, Roach said the city would be working with St. Clair County officials on future development and other items, specifically the area of Illinois 158 and Reider Road. They would like to get it ready for developers.
"We want to see if there are things we can work together on, share information. We need to address water and sewer. They own some land out there, too," he said.
Roach also noted that he and City Administrator Walter Denton would meet with St. Elizabeth's Hospital representatives on July 13.
In council action, the aldermen approved an agreement with Thouvenot, Wade and Moerchen Inc. for North Oak Street water, sewer and stormwater rehabilitation for $107,000, plus hourly rates and reimbursable costs.
The area around North Oak Street has aging sanitary sewer infrastructure that needs replacing. This project involves design of a gravity sanitary sewer replacement from the trunk main north of the cemetery to the intersection of Oak and Madison Streets, and also a comprehensive drainage study of the North Oak Street area bounded by North Lincoln Street to the east, West State Street to the south, Engle Creek to the west, and West Monroe Circle to the North.
TWM will provide IEPA permits applications, bid documents, plans and construction administration, staking services and construction observation.
They approved an agreement with Keeley & Sons Inc. for the North Green Mount Road patching project for $159,856.00.
The contract's proposed work includes pavement patching, combination curb and gutter removal and replacement and storm sewer installation along North Green Mount Road between Highway 50 and State Street.
They approved an agreement between the city and O'Fallon Township for placement of a shed in the right-of-way.
O'Fallon Township had requested a storage shed to be located south of the western parking lot for the storage of flags.
No parking signs on Delmar Avenue will be put up by the O'Fallon Police Department when school resumes now that the council has passed an ordinance designating no parking areas on weekdays from 7 to 8 a.m. and 2 to 3 p.m. on Delmar, for the safety of Central School students and parents. The before and after school designation came after a traffic safety study.
The O'Fallon Parks and Recreation Department was recognized, as July is national Parks and Recreation Month. Roach said that the parks are a vital component, important to the city's quality of life and health, for adults and for children.
Mary Jeanne Hutchinson, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, thanked the city for its support.
"We would not be able to do the things we do and provide the programs we do without the support of the council," she said.
Hutchinson said they have so many activities that sometimes "it feels like a whirlwind," and noted how much 200 children enjoyed their first day in summer camp Monday.
She said they are working on the Capital Improvement Plan outlining the next five years, and are always striving to make their parks better.
To celebrate the month, the city is hosting a Free Swim on July 19 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the city pool.


This paper presents a solution to the growing problems connected with bad driving specially with over-speeding. This paper outlines a persuasive mobile solution 'DriveRS' that is designed to change the speeding behavior of male novice drivers in a persuasive manner. The 'DriveRS' application targets both weak and strong habit young male drivers between the age of 18 and 26 by giving them various incentives to change their speeding behavior. Results show an overall acceptance of the application, mainly due to its unique rewarding mechanism, and its ability to demonstrate the actual speeding behavior with major impact on safety, fuel cost and possible fines. Results also indicate behavior change for weak habit users and attitude change for strong habit users.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Actress Alix Wilton Regan Shows How to do Proper Spit Takes
NewsXbox OneXbox 360PS4PS3PC
For those who don't know, a "spit take" is when an actor spits out a beverage as a reaction to something that is said. The same applies for voice acting as well. In this video, Alix Wilton Regan, who is one of the voices of the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition, shows us her technique for getting the perfect spit take.
Alix likes to use actual water in order to get the best sounds. There's a man in the room with her who is holding a small garbage can for her to spit the water into but none of it quite makes it in; most of it landing squarely on his face.
Dragon Age: Inquisition will be released for the PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7th.

You laugh in the face of burns. Unless it's a REALLY good burn.
Now that Jones can jump that far, the kitties figure she'll bring back even more wet catfood.
The kitties are unconvinced Jones is a bird, whether or not she can fly. But one is going to try pouncing someday, just to be sure.
Jones has a magnetic personality, but it only seems to work on kitties.
Sometimes the kitties use the burn cream for off-label purposes.
Since the kitties are stuck in a time loop with no rainy days, Jones figured a rainbow would cheer them up.
Kitties deserve a crown. Because they're kitties. You're gonna get them that crown, right Jones?
Neither kitties nor Jones have feet, yet they can run fast. Both just try not to think about it too much.
There are currently no gaming sessions for Jones On Fire Achievements that you can join - why not register and make a new session?


Hrithik Roshan with his wife and kids unveiled his wax figure on 20th January 2011 at London's Madame Tussauds.
On meeting his double for the first time, Hrithik commented "I can't believe I'm here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It's incredible just how detailed the figure is – they've really captured my look. I'm truly honoured to be included and hope my fans will like seeing the figure."
Roshan was completely involved in the creation of the figure. He attended two sittings in Mumbai and London where sculptors captured a catalogue of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements. Hirthik also donated the pink shirt and dark blue jeans which his figure is wearing.
Hrithik's statue look is taken from his super-hit film Dhoom 2. Wax Hrithik is looking great! Hrithik is the fifth Bollywood personality to be honoured at Tussauds. The others bollywood actors who have been honoured are: Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan.
Sharing a memory HR talks about the first time he visited Madam Tussauds when he was a child. "I was nine years old, holidaying in London with my family when my grandfather (J Om Prakash) and I went to Madame Tussauds.
We had to stand in line for 45 minutes and while I was jumping up and down with impatient excitement, my grandfather waited patiently.
I even told him that we should go and come back the next day but my grandfather waited till we could enter Madame Tussauds. Today I feel he's like that excited child I was."
Adds Duggu, "The bigger prize is not the wax figure but the effect this moment is going to have for my entire family. It's a very special moment for me.
It's a moment that won't change my life drastically. Life goes on but the wax figure is for posterity for my children."


While there are many ways of categorizing sermons, PASTORIA simplifies preaching down to two key characteristics that distinguish one type from another.
In summary, there is a difference of purpose for a "classical" sermon and a "post-modern" sermon.
The typical pastor of a mainline protestant Christian denomination and graduates from an institution of higher education with a Master of Divinity is taught that preaching is for the purpose of properly exegeting or interpreting a particular passage of scripture (aka pericope).
So, the marks of preaching in this sense is 1) the referencing of biblical scholarship, 2) the exemplification of an interpretation from real-life persons, and 3) the proper application of the interpretation of a passage to a disciple personally and/or society as a whole.
In contrast, the type of preaching that is most appropriate for the post-modern era is one that relegates the proper interpretation of a particular passage of scripture to the proper interpretation of a particular period of one's life.
The means of this is seeing the life of the person as scripture currently being written by God and in need of exegesis. Scripture, as known traditionally as the bible, is one part of God's collection of narratives that is of equal status to that of one's life.
"Post-modern preaching" is not a proclamation of a grand meta-narrative; it is the offering of an alternative ontological ground to that of any other such sources. "Post-modern ministry" does not seek the establishment of a "community," but that of the affirmation of a differentiated collectivity. In other words, we are "one" because our differences reflect the diverse nature of reality. We are not "one" because we share the same values or seek the same identity.
More will be explained in an upcoming PASTORIA audio guide to be released in late 2019.

Aquaman Celebrates 75 Years
Source: Scoop magazine
DC comics' Aquaman turns 75 in 2016. Aquaman made his first appearance in More Fun Comics #73 in November of '41 and has since left a lasting impression on pop culture, both as a punchline and as a legitimate icon.
Arthur Curry was created by Paul Norris (Adventure Comics) and Mort Weisinger (Superman editor, creator of Green Arrow). His original origins, as told in a flashback in his first appearance, differed wildly from what they are today. His Golden Age origins put him as the son of a famous undersea explorer who grew up in the ruins of Atlantis in a water-tight home, and he became powerful by "training and a hundred scientific secrets." His powers during this time were fairly limited – he could control undersea creatures for up to a minute by speaking to them "in their own language" rather than telepathically, and he could breathe underwater. His base was an old shipwreck, and most of his battles (like many other comic heroes of the time) were against the Nazi forces, specifically defeating their U-boats underwater.
In the Silver Age, like many of DC's heroes, Aquaman's backstory changed (though this would later be attributed to the DC multiverse's existence). As of Adventure Comics #260 in May of '59, he now was the son of Tom Curry, a lighthouse keeper, and Atlanna, an outcast from Atlantis. Due to his heritage, Arthur possesses superhuman swimming abilities and the power to communicate with sea life. Later, writers retroactively introduced a key weakness to Aquaman: he had to come into contact with water at least once an hour, or else he would die.
Aquaman was later a founding member of the Justice League of America and was involved with the team throughout the 1960s. This was also the decade that saw the Atlantean truly rise to prominence, as his own rogues gallery expanded to include the Ocean Master (his amnesiac half-brother), Black Manta, and the O.G.R.E. organization. It also expanded Aquaman's own family to include Aqualad, Dr. Vulko, and Mera, his wife.

Many great brands make the same mistakes over and over again on social media. Whether it's ignoring their target audience, being too controversial or simple miscommunication with a wrong hashtag or ill timed tweet, any of these social media mishaps could cost you in terms of brand image and customer base.
Take a look at these sins, and make sure you're not committing them.
You can't expect to build relationships with your followers by taking a "set it and forget it" approach. Automated tweets can help save time, but when a PR crisis hits or an offensive or offended customer takes to social to engage with a brand, it's best to participate in the conversation and engage directly with the customer.
Don't bite of more than you can chew. If you open a social profile people expect customer service on that profile and up to 80% of people expect a reply within 1 hour of posting a comment. If you open too many profiles, never log and reply to customers, people will get angry and frustrated with your brand thus damaging your business. Customers also negatively associate static profiles with your brand and may not order from you if they see profiles that haven't been updated with content in a while.
Instead of trying to spread yourself across too many social media platforms and failing – try focusing on just one or two. When you limit your social involvement to concentrate on your engagement, you'll get a much better response from your followers.
Don't alienate your brand, focus on your real message, which should be providing a solution to your customers' problems. Keep politics and religion off your social media accounts. This goes for responding to negative feedback on social media as well – keep a cool head, engage and move people into a private chat as soon as possible, and address issues head on. After successful resolution of the problem respond to an original post on social media.
Social media is all about connecting and being social. People hate promotional content, and they detest adverts. You need to spread your brand message, build online relationships, engage with your audience, ask questions, tell stories and be real. However, you also need to make a living and sell.
If you spend too much time being promotional, you are going to lose followers and likes on social media. Promotion needs to be used subtly every now and then on social media. Here's an example of a well-known brand's fail when they tried promoting during Hurricane Sandy.
Yes, people might be likely to stay in during large-scale weather events like Hurricane Sandy, but that doesn't make it the perfect time for online shopping. During the storm, Gap issued the tweet above which was made extra tone-deaf by how many people lost power during and after the storm.
Research what certain hashtags are being used for to ensure they are appropriate to use for your brand. Some may stand for a sensitive topic or something that is in direct opposition to what you want to say, so be careful when using them.
The most infamous example of this mistake is when DiGiorno Pizza hijacked the #WhyIStayed hashtag. It started trending around a discussion of domestic violence. DiGiorno tried to use it to promote pizza. Twitter didn't laugh.
If you aren't tracking what you're doing on social media, you'll never know your results. If you don't know your results, how can you decide if social media marketing is working or how to improve your efforts? By keeping eye on results you are able to see what is/isn't working for you and make the necessary adjustments to your strategy.
Overall we can see that there are some pretty simple mistakes that even the biggest brands make on social media. It is really important to have a process within your team before making decisions on social media as this is a public-facing platform. Make sure that all actions are agreed within the team and always have a contingency plan if things go wrong. By using these tips you are well on your way to having a great Social Media strategy!

Labour Party / Transport
About those free rides …
by Matthew Smith · 14th April, 2018
Some friends of mine have been sharing a Labour election video on Facebook. The 15-second video claims that the next Labour government will make bus travel free for under-25s in England before telling people, "Get on board and vote Labour on Thursday 3 May". This is a misleading advert, for a number of reasons, because it makes promises that Labour cannot deliver in the forthcoming election and may not still be part of their policy by the time of the next general election.
First: a local council cannot deliver something as radical as free bus travel for as many people as all under-25s. That is something that would cost a lot of money, and requires intervention from central government. Their powers are circumscribed, and they can in any case only influence fares on bus services which they run or subsidise. This is not the case for many services, especially outside major cities, which are run by private companies and others are run by a neighbouring local authority (e.g. Transport for London sponsored bus services in Surrey, such as the K3 and 405).
Second, you will not be voting for a government on the 3rd of May this year. You are voting for a council in your county, borough or district (a full list of which councils have elections can be found here). A Labour council cannot deliver a Labour government. The results of these elections may have an influence on the following general election, such as prompting policy or even leadership changes in one or other party, perhaps including Labour. But who you vote for next month will only affect the people on your county or borough council, which has specific functions. It cannot make laws but must disburse a budget for specific things such as education, social work, social care, waste disposal and recycling, road maintenance and so on. So, your vote on 3rd May cannot deliver the policy in the video.
Third, the Labour leadership will be asked, if this policy is still in its manifesto come the next election, how they intend to pay for this. When a large cohort of young adults are going to be relieved of having to pay for bus fares, it will cost a lot of money which will have to come from somewhere because running a bus service costs money for fuel, wages, maintenance and so on. The money will have to come either from a tax rise or from cutting something else which no doubt the party will say is unimportant but others may well disagree. They may say something about cutting bureaucracy or dead wood somewhere; this means they will sack a whole lot of people or abolish a service that some people might value, or put pressure on council workers or civil servants to do more in the same time and for the same money. There is only so far you can take this policy: it causes stress, and causes people to leave the profession which causes the service to break down. If you have a relative who is a teacher or nurse, you will be aware that they are doing a lot of paperwork and may be working from home after their school hours finish; this is because the government has imposed more and more of this on them over the years.
If you live in the city, you may not be aware that outside the city bus services are sparse. Many areas have very limited bus services and often they run along main routes but do not branch off into the back lanes, meaning if you live in a village you might not have a bus service at all. In the city, bus services often run every five or ten minutes, or more; in rural areas, they often run every half-hour or less, or there are a few every day, and none in the evening. In many rural areas, old "cast-off" buses that were displaced from London and other major cities when new accessible buses were introduced in the early 2000s are still in use. People who live in these places will not appreciate being asked to pay for free bus rides for people in areas far better served by public transport than they have been for years. Perhaps Labour will promise to restore bus services at public expense, but this will also need to be paid for and in areas surrounding cities where many wealthy commuters with multiple cars live, a lot of people will not feel the need for vastly improved bus services. They may remember the "old buses" from the 1980s and before and say "we don't want them back", even though this may not be the intention.
This promise is a kind of policy Labour had before Blair called "tax and spend". This means what it says: tax people's earnings and spend it on services. The problem is that many people do not want to pay for services they do not receive, and will never receive. Sometimes this objection is selfish, but people do not want to look at their payslips and find that a large section has been taken away by the government to benefit someone else. Sometimes they have good reason. On one occasion, the then Greater London Council tried to use everyone's rates (the local council tax of the time) to pay for reduced fares on the London Underground but were challenged in court by the London Borough of Bromley, which is in south-east London and is miles from the nearest Tube station at its nearest point. The borough won. If you are a first-time voter you will not remember these things; they happened in the 1980s but there are lots of people who remember them. For better or worse, the government then got people used to paying much less tax than they had before and they will not want to go back.
Labour are wrong to tell people to vote in a council election on the basis of a policy only a Labour government can deliver. It is of course important to vote, but you must know what your council can do and what each party's policies are locally. The next general election will be some time in the next four years and that is the only election that can deliver a Labour government, or any other, and give Labour the power to deliver the sorts of radical changes they are talking about. You will not get free bus rides for under-25s with a Labour council this year.
