Sanitation encompasses the measures, methods, and activities that prevent the transmission of diseases and ensure public health. Specifically, sanitation refers to the principles and practices relating to the safe collection, removal, and disposal of human waste, refuse, and wastewater.
Waterway in Port-au-Prince, Haiti full of garbage. Haiti has little sanitation which is a factor in the spreading of the cholera epidemic.
(Julie Dermansky/Science Source)
The problems that result from inadequate sanitation can be illustrated by the following events in history:
1700 BCE: Ahead of his time by a few thousand years, the queen's megaron in the palace of Knossos on Crete had running water in the bathrooms. Although there is evidence of plumbing and sewerage systems at several ancient sites, including the cloaca maxima (or great sewer) of ancient Rome, their use did not become widespread until modern times.
1817: A major epidemic of cholera hit Calcutta, India, after a national festival. There is no record of exactly how many people were affected, but there were 10,000 fatalities among British troops alone. The epidemic then spread to other countries and arrived in the United States and Canada in 1832. The governor of New York quarantined the Canadian border in a vain attempt to stop the epidemic. When cholera reached New York City, people were so frightened they either fled or stayed inside, leaving the city streets deserted.
1854: The London physician John Snow (1813–1858) demonstrated that cholera deaths in an area of the city could all be traced to a common public drinking water pump that was contaminated with sewage from a nearby house. Although he could not identify the exact cause, he convinced authorities to close the pump.
1859: The British Parliament was suspended during the summer because of the stench coming from the Thames. As was the case in many cities at this time, storm sewers carried a combination of sewage, street debris and other wastes, and storm water to the nearest body of water. According to one account, the river began to "seethe and ferment under a burning sun."
1892: The comma-shaped bacterium that causes cholera was identified by German scientist and physician Robert Koch (1843–1919) during an epidemic in Hamburg. His discovery proved the relationship between contaminated water and the disease.
1939: Sixty people died in an outbreak of typhoid fever at Manteno State Hospital in Illinois. The cause was traced to a sewer line passing too close to the hospital's water supply.
1940: A valve that was accidentally opened caused polluted water from the Genesee River to be pumped into the Rochester, New York, public water supply system. About 35,000 cases of gastroenteritis and six cases of typhoid fever were reported.
1955: Water containing a large amount of sewage was blamed for overwhelming a water treatment plant and causing an epidemic of hepatitis in Delhi, India. An estimated one million people were infected.
1961: A worldwide epidemic of cholera began in Indonesia and spread to eastern Asia and India by 1964; Russia, Iran, and Iraq by 1966; Africa by 1970; and Latin America by 1991.
1968: A four-year epidemic of dysentery began in Central America, resulting in more than 500,000 cases and at least 20,000 deaths. Epidemic dysentery remained a problem in many African nations as of 2018.
1993: An outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, claimed 104 lives and infected more than 400,000 people, making it, at the time, the largest recorded outbreak of waterborne disease in the United States.
2010: Ten months after an earthquake displaced more than one million people on the island of Haiti, a cholera outbreak began in one of the many rural tent cities, which lacked adequate sanitation and where survivors lived in cramped conditions. Efforts were made to extinguish the outbreak that had already taken the lives of over 500 people; then Hurricane Tomas hit the island, flooding the contaminated water sources that initiated the outbreak and spread cholera to the heavily populated capital city of Port-Au-Prince.
2011: A cholera epidemic in the West African country of Ghana killed 60 people and infected nearly 4,000 after flooding the previous year contaminated the water sources.
2012: From the beginning of the year to August 24, the West African country of Sierra Leone recorded 12,456 cases of cholera, along with 224 deaths. The president of Sierra Leone declared the cholera epidemic a humanitarian crisis.
2018:Problems have continued in Ghana and an outbreak of cholera in Zambia killed at least 60 people. More than 2,000 people were treated and all schools and colleges closed for several weeks. The area was densely populated and lacked adequate sanitation.
Modern sanitation challenges
In 1992, the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and a land-based pollutants inventory stated that the "disposal of solid and liquid wastes (particularly of human excrement and household garbage in urban areas), which have long plagued the Pacific, emerge now as perhaps the foremost regional environmental problem of the decade."
For example, high levels of fecal coliform bacteria have been found in surface and coastal waters of the South Pacific. This is because local developing regions pollute the water with household garbage and human waste. Pollutants from sewage make water availability more of a problem and introduce disease in residents.
In addition, septic systems used in some rural areas are said to be of poor design and construction and pour-flush toilets and latrines, which frequently overflow in heavy rains, are more common. Over-the-water latrines are found in many coastal areas, as well. Many areas deal with contamination of their ground water, making well water that might be available unsafe for drinking or washing food. Some low-lying areas served by available systems experience periodic back-flows of sewage, causing waste to run into forest or mangrove areas when pumps fail and electrical power outages occur. In many countries, people live in crowded and substandard conditions. In addition, refugees from areas of war or human rights violations relocate to camps and other crowded conditions with substandard water and sanitation.
Wastewater problems also result from agriculture. According to the EPA, pig waste is considered to be a more significant problem than human sewage in many areas.
Because sanitation has become a social responsibility, national, state, and local governments have adopted regulations that, when followed, should provide adequate sanitation for the governed society. However, some of the very technologies and practices that were instituted to provide better health and sanitation were later found to be contaminating ground and surface waters. For example, placing chlorine in drinking water and wastewater to provide disinfection was found to produce carcinogenic compounds called trihalomethanes and dioxin. Collecting sanitary waste and transporting it along with industrial waste to inadequate treatment plants costing billions of dollars has failed to provide adequate protection for public health and environmental security.
Globally, about 2.3 billion people have no access to sanitation facilities such as toilets. More than 890 million people must defecate outdoors, such as into bodies of water or street gutters. Another 600 million people have limited access to sanitation, such as sharing of facilities with neighbors. At least 1.8 billion people must rely on a source of drinking water that is contaminated with feces. Most people without access to adequate sanitation facilities live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Further, most African countries had basic hand-washing facilities for less than 50% of their populations. However, by 2015, 154 countries had basic sanitation services for more than 75% of their populations.
The main purpose of adequate sanitation for all of the world's peoples is to reduce the amount of disease that is caused by inadequate sanitation facilities. By saving lives, improving health conditions, and raising living standards around the world, especially in developing countries, people have a better chance at surviving and contributing to society. Specifically, improved sanitation facilities are shown to increase a country's gross domestic product (GDP). Consequently, good sanitation is an important health, humanitarian, and economic factor for all countries.
Common diseases and disorders
Common diseases that are caused by sanitation and water-related problems include the following:
EDWIN CHADWICK (1800–1890)
Edwin Chadwick was a progressive thinking man. He studied law in London, and in 1832, he was asked by the prime minister to participate in the Royal Commission of Enquiry on the English Poor Laws. The Commission worked with Parliament, and the Poor Law Amendment Act was passed. Chadwick was credited with writing almost one-third of the published report.
London experienced influenza and typhoid epidemics in 1837 and 1838, and Chadwick determined that the city's unsafe sanitation practices directly affected health conditions. His findings were outlined in a 1842 report entitled The Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population.
This report explained that the government needed to take a greater role in public health reform and sanitary conditions. Chadwick proposed changes for the environment, including indoor bathrooms in each house, and a sewage disposal system that transferred sewage to farmlands for fertilizer. However, these changes were refuted. People that benefitted from the poor health conditions (landlords, water companies) effectively blocked these ideas.
Even though his efforts were thwarted, Chadwick believed in his cause. He continued to fight for environmental legislation changes.
Stable ecosystems model
Increasingly, the solution seems to be found in methods and practices that borrow from the stable ecosystems model of waste management. That is, there are no wastes, only resources that process waste sustainably. New waterless composting toilets that destroy human fecal organisms while producing fertilizer are the technology of choice in the developing world and have also found a growing niche in the developed world. Wash water, or gray water, is being used for irrigation, rather than being disposed of in ground and surface waters. The combination of these two ecologically engineered technologies provides economical sanitation, eliminates pollution, and creates valuable fertilizers for plants, while reducing the use of potable water for irrigation and toilets.
Simple hand washing is the most important measure in preventing disease transmission. Hand washing breaks the primary connection between surfaces contaminated with fecal organisms and the introduction of these pathogens into the human body. The use of basic soap and water, not exotic disinfectants, when practiced before eating and after defecating may save more lives than all of the modern methodologies and technologies combined.
Following the MDGs, the United Nations led efforts toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a plan adopted by world leaders to end poverty and inequality around the world, improve health, and address climate change. The SDGs are not laws but serve as a framework for governments to use in setting their own goals and plans. A total of 17 goals address these global issues. Goal 6 focuses on ensuring access to water and sanitation for all by 2030. Water scarcity affects health and ability to provide sanitation services. Drought has added to the problem in many areas of the world. Addressing sanitation problems requires cooperation of governments and public health, and the money to afford needed infrastructure. The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation focused on goals for sanitation and merged with the SDG efforts in 2014.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), improved access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene could prevent the deaths annually of more than 360,000 children under five years of age. Poor sanitation is the cause of most of the deaths. With more than 4.5 billion people around the world lacking access to a toilet at home, there is much work remaining to be done.
Specific SDG targets include achieving universal and equal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene by 2030. The goal also includes ending open defecation. A target is to implement integrated water resources management at all levels by 2030, even across national boundaries if necessary. The SDG recognizes it will take international cooperation to support improvement in drinking water and sanitation in developing countries.
The prevention of diseases that can be transmitted through human waste is achieved through isolating waste using adequate sanitation and hygiene practices. Such diseases include waterborne diseases (which contaminate drinking water), fecal-borne diseases (which occur when humans come into physical contact with feces), and hookworm (whose eggs can be acquired from contacting infected soil).
Dioxins—
Any of numerous by-products of various industrial processes, which are regarded as extremely toxic. These dioxins or dioxin-like compounds include polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
A compound that is separated into ions within a solution.
Red tide—
A brownish-red coloration in seawater that is caused by increased plant-based plankton.
Safely managed sanitation service—
A safe method for disposing of waste in place or off-site.
According to the report Progress on Sanitation and Drinking-water, 2010 Update, by the Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, which is conducted by the WHO and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), improved sanitation facilities are those that "hygienically separates human excreta from human contact." The following are ways to provide improved sanitation facilities to peoples of the world without adequate sanitation and thus help to prevent unsanitary conditions:
using a composting toilet
connecting to a piped sewer system
connecting to a septic system
using a flush toilet
using flush/pour-flush to a pit latrine
using a pit latrine with slab
ventilating an improved pit (VIP) latrine

Q: ng-model not work with ng-repeat in dropdown list I need to show image in option list, I couldn't use with ng-options so, I preferred to ng-repeat to show image with default selected item but in this I couldn't get the selected value from ng-change. ng-model not work here, whether I did any wrong?
The code is this:
function MyCntrl($scope) {
$scope.colors = [
{name:'black', value:'st1',
url: 'plain_50.jpg',
},
{name:'white', value:'st2',
    url: 'plain_50.jpg',
},
{name:'red', value:'st3',
    url: 'plain_50.jpg',
}
];
$scope.myColor = $scope.colors[2].value;

$scope.change = function(val){
console.log(val);
}
}

<select  ng-model="selectClr" ng-change="change(selectClr.value)" >
<option value="">Select a color</option>
<option ng-repeat="color in colors" value="{{color.shade}}" ng-selected="{{color.name ==
myColor}}" style="background:url(http:{{color.url}}) no-repeat 8px 0px;"
>{{color.name}}   </option></select>

A: I think you want the ngOption directive instead of the ngRepeat.
Please see the following documentation
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/select
And note the comment regarding the use of ngOption and not ngRepeat

A: You're pretty confused between your various attributes:

*

*The JS code set the preselected option using the value: $scope.myColor = $scope.colors[2].value;

*but the HTML code selects the current color if its name: color.name ==
myColor

*and the value of the option is set to the color shade (which doesn't even exist in the model): value="{{color.shade}}"

*the select uses selectClr instead of myColor, which is the value of the selected color.

Make all this coherent, and the code will work fine: http://plnkr.co/edit/4BPMosJkyg3CcfCqtjIB?p=preview

  <select ng-model="myColor" ng-change="change(myColor)" >
    <option value="">Select a color</option>
    <option ng-repeat="color in colors"
            value="{{color.value}}"
            ng-selected="{{color.value == myColor}}">
      {{color.name}}
    </option>
  </select>

function MyCntrl($scope) {
  $scope.colors = [
    {
      name:'black',
      value:'st1'
    },
    {
      name:'white',
      value:'st2'
    },
    {
      name:'red',
      value:'st3'
    }
  ];

  $scope.myColor = $scope.colors[2].value;

  $scope.change = function(val){
    console.log(val);
  }
}

I first heard a call when I was about 19 years old. The calling felt as simple as just wanting to be a Priest, having desires to do the work of a Priest, and wanting to spend all of my free time with Priests. This was something that just came out of the blue one day. Even though I was very active in my parish, I had never had any desire to be a Priest before this moment in my life. As the years went on, this desire was not going away and was growing stronger, it felt as if God was pushing me in this direction even though I did not understand it well. I began to do some research online about vocations and began to pray more regularly. After a few years of personal discernment, I reached out to the Vocation Office and shared the interest with my family and Priest friends. The more I prayed, the more the calling to enter the seminary became clear. It was not easy, there was a lot of fear, doubt, and questions. However, God was with me the entire time and said "Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?" Once I finally let my guard down, and let Jesus' voice enter my heart, I felt he called me to enter seminary.
My biggest inspiration was my former Pastor Monsignor Robert Giggi. He was loved so much by the people, he was faithful to his vocation and he always put his parishioners and his parish before himself. Shortly before his retirement, growing tired from old age, he still was always ready to say Mass, anoint the sick or be present at any event. His love for Jesus, his dedication to his Vocation and his funny personality was a huge inspiration to me. Many other Boston priests have been so inspirational and helpful to me. To name a few: Fr. Michael MacEwen, Fr. Leroy Owens, Fr. Jeff Archer and Bishop Walter Edevean.
Prayer is essential, if you don't pray you will never make it through. God constantly speaks to us through the power of prayer, and if we close ourselves off to it we will never know what we are truly called to do and therefore we will not be happy. The seminary is very fruitful, however can be stressful at times with the many expectations, therefore we need a solid prayer life so that we ourselves can bear fruit and have the strength to walk with Jesus.
Do not be afraid to explore the possible vocation of Priesthood. Talk to your Pastor, your Vocation Director or a Priest you feel comfortable with. Make frequent visits to the blessed sacrament and try to go to Mass every day. Read the bible and reflect on some of the passages from the new testament. If God wants you to enter Seminary he will make it known. Remember that just because you are exploring a vocation or entering the seminary, it does not mean you have just committed yourself to becoming a Priest. This is all a discernment process, a time to learn how to pray and to grow in faith. Remember that God walks with you every step of the way.
I love the Daily Routine of praying with my brother seminarians, and the gift of fraternity. I love continuing to learn and grow in my faith. I have made many friends and have got to work with many wonderful Priests who inspire me every day.
Sadly, we live in times were the Church has been put on the back burner. Internet, social media, sports, instant gratification and many material things have become our top priority. It leaves a lot of people confused or concerned for any man who would consider the life of Priesthood. We must remember that Jesus was rejected by the world and was crucified on the Cross. We then must act as Jesus did and be compassionate teachers, and spiritual leaders. Follow your heart and persevere in Prayer, the road will be opened for you.
I was a working Musician prior to entering the seminary, playing the Piano, Organ and Singing. I still enjoy playing music when time allows. I also enjoy going to the movies, going for long walks when the weather is nice and going out to dinner with friends.
Strong Youth Groups and Strong Young Adult Groups in Parishes. Ministry is so important, laity and Priests who run any ministry should regularly promote vocations and be a welcoming presence.

The president addressed Parliament in the first in a series of memorials commemorating a number of historic events that converge on Nov. 9, considered by Germans to be their "fateful day." At a ceremony honoring the victims of Kristallnacht, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned against a resurgence of anti-Semitism. Later Friday, officials laid wreaths before a remnant of the Berlin Wall, which was breached under the pressure of peaceful East German protesters on this date in 1989, a year before the country was reunited.
Recent events were on the minds of German leaders. Rising nationalism and populism have forced the country to look inward, struggling to find answers to violent protests against foreigners that have become commonplace in the former East Germany, and to a coarsening of political debate with the entrance to Parliament of the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, or AfD.
The AfD was not invited by leaders of Germany's Jewish community to a ceremony in Rykestrasse synagogue in Berlin, which was set alight in 1938, only to have the blaze extinguished relatively quickly to prevent neighboring houses from going up in flames. Thousands of Germans either took part or stood by as at least 91 people were killed and 7,500 businesses were plundered.
The arrival of roughly 1 million refugees from mostly Muslim countries in 2015 has been blamed for the increase, although the attacks often come from far-right adherents rather than immigrants. Schools have struggled to find ways to teach the country's dark history to young Germans, many of whom are recently arrived immigrants or are the children of immigrants.

Kim Dotcom Loses Appeal Against Extradition To US

Game over for colourful character? Kim Dotcom loses latest court battle against his extradition to the US
Kim Dotcom, the charismatic founder of Megaupload, lost his latest court battle against extradition from New Zealand to the United States.
The Court of Appeal in New Zealand upheld the decision by a lower court that Dotcom and three others can be extradited to stand trial for copyright infringement and fraud.
It came after Kim Dotcom had declared in March that his extradition fight against a court order to be deported to the United States was "over". That declaration came when the Human Rights Tribunal in New Zealand ruled that the Attorney-General had broken the law by withholding information from Kim Dotcom.
Legal setback
German-born Dotcom, who has residency status in New Zealand, has been fighting a series of legal battles after he and three other men (Mattias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato) who co-founded Megaupload lost their legal battle in late 2015 against extradition to the United States, where Dotcom is wanted for copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering.
The US allege the Megaupload website cost Hollywood film studios and record companies more than $500m (£322m), and generated $175m (£113m) by allowing users to store and share copyright material.
Megaupload was closed down in early 2012, and Dotcom was arrested by New Zealand police on orders from the US. His mansion in New Zealand was also raided.
But in Autumn 2016 Dotcom launched an appeal against that extradition ruling, and has also has filed claims for damages of roughly $10bn in December against US and New Zealand authorities "for the destruction of Megaupload" and the constraints on his liberty for more than seven years.
Despite the latest legal setback, Dotcom still does have a chance to avoid extradition to the US, as Dotcom and his co-accused can resort to a review with the NZ Supreme Court.
"My legal team are confident that the Supreme Court will hear the appeal given there are such significant legal issues at stake," Dotcom was quoted by Reuters as saying in a statement.
And it is also now up to New Zealand's Justice Minister Andrew Little to decide whether extradition should take place.
And his decision could be subject to further court reviews.
And Dotcom is sure to explore very opportunity to fight any court order.
Earlier this year for example Dotcom filed an application for former US President Barack Obama to appear in court while Obama visited New Zealand.

The Thin Man Goes Home (1945)
Posted on January 2, 2019 by 4StarFilmFan
Sometimes it's necessary to go back to the basics. We've been introduced to the social elite of New York and San Francisco, invited along to giant family estates, and frequented the race track and wrestling rings. It only makes sense that at some point we would finally be introduced to their roots.
What is the occasion, you ask? Nick has a birthday coming up and what better way to surprise his parents (Harry Davenport and Lucille Watson) then popping in on them in his hometown of Sycamore Springs? It's not the most comfortable of trips, crammed together with other passengers; before resigning themselves to the luggage car, for Asta's sake, where he gets accosted by the local livestock. But be it ever so humble, say it with me, there's no place like home!
The premise is plainly given but this might just be the most enjoyable installment since After the Thin (1936). That is not to say the other entries were not amusing. They most certainly were. But there's something gratifying about getting to know Nicky's community a little better. Due to the passing of W.S. Van Dyke, it is Richard Thorpe who takes up the reins without too many noticeable hiccups or maybe there are just enough.
There's the inevitable running into a plethora of old acquaintances of all sorts of ticks and demeanors. Most curious among them is the aptly named Crazy Mary (Anne Revere) or the starstruck young debutante Laurabelle Ronson (Gloria DeHaven). Nick takes each reunion in stride while also finding time to fix tables and fiddle with deadly hammocks all to the mild amusement of his better half.
The comedic range of gossip around town is astounding as the whole neighborhood drums up a story about how the town's most famous citizen has returned to investigate a homegrown murder. It couldn't be further from the truth, until it becomes true. What happens is the most ludicrous of murders yet, with a young man (Ralph Brooks) showing up on the Charles' doorstep only to get the axe a minute later.
Mr. Brogan (Edward Brophy), a reformed greeting cards salesman, is always coming out of the bushes to give Nick a tip but of course, he didn't see or hear the murder. Still, he provides his services to the amateur detective by pulling his wife away for an evening. Myrna Loy in the humorous tailing sequence showcases her talents, making the scene into her own shining moment away from her husband. Though they are inseparable in one sense, the film benefits from these digressions as wayward as they might seem.
There are so many juicy tidbits to latch onto but one of the most crucial is a fateful painting of a windmill that Nora buys her husband as a birthday present,l due to some childhood significance. But there's also a couple (Leon Ames and Helen Vinson) anxious about getting their hands on the piece for its perceived value. It's no small coincidence the painting was attributed to the deceased victim.
At the Charity Bazar, the Charles make their appearance and Asta hops up on the counter to pay a visit to a house check girl in the periphery (I have no idea why this caught my eye). Meanwhile, Loy is forced into a jitterbug with an eager sailor serving as a convenient diversion. Nick doesn't want her to be with him while he goes snooping around upstairs. And in these moments you see the allure of the Charles marriage.
The husband is the quintessential bachelor-type who nevertheless makes an affectionate husband and his beautiful Nora, a high-brow socialite, is ever the understanding wife. But beyond this archetypal pairing, you have the wryly comic tug-of-war between them as the smirking Nick always looks to throw his wife off the track and she always does her best to stay right there by his side.
In fact, the payoff looks different in the small town as everyone of possible motive is gathered into the drawing room but also it is Nora and not Nick who becomes the master of ceremonies, quelling their objections and keeping the audience under raps while her husband gets ready to make his appearance.
Given the crazy nature of the murder, it would be safe to reason the finale would be a little wild too and that assumption holds. But that cannot take away from what this film has to offer. Because what is The Thin Man without Nick and Nora Charles? It would be nothing and yet in this picture, they both continue to shine as they always did together. Even as the years progress, they don't change all that much. The only thing that's different is Nick has made strides with his drinking hobby which has been traded out for a flask of cider. One can only surmise the reason for this change was the wartime ration on liquor.

On Friday, January 25, 2019, Xavier University's Women's Basketball Team vowed to "X OUT STIGMA" as they partnered with 1N5 to reduce the stigma on mental health and suicide on their home court. In order to create lasting awareness on campus, the first 750 attendees received an "X OUT STIGMA" t-shirt. In addition to shirts, 1N5 raffled off courtside tickets to a XU Men's Basketball Game and hosted a Split-the-Pot fundraiser.
The game against No. 15 Marquette ended in a loss for the Muskies, but XU never gave up, and we will never give up fighting for awareness, education and empathy towards mental illness and suicide.
We were excited about the opportunity to reach out to Xavier University students, fans and the Cincinnati community to raise awareness about mental health. Approximately 20% of youth and young adults are living with a diagnosable mental illness. The more we can work together to educate our community and reduce stigma, the more individuals who are suffering in silence will seek the help they need.
1N5 would like to extend our gratitude to Xavier University Athletics and the Women's Basketball Team for their participation and involvement in helping turn our mission into a reality.

Q: Easiest way to decode basic authorization in .NET I need to validate a basic authorization header that is being sent to my HttpListener in VB.NET.  I'm grabbing the header like so (feel free to point out better ways to do this as well):
EncodedAuth = Context.Request.Headers.GetValues("Authorization")(1)

Now how do I decode them?  I understand the theory but I can't seem to find the right code.
Thank you.

A: This should do it...
basicData = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString( System.Convert.FromBase64String( EncodedAuth ) )

This will give you a string in the format "username:password".  Split the string on ":" and you'll get the credentials.


We have been in a bit of a breakfast rut lately so I have been working hard to change up our options! I asked my kids some of their breakfast options and they reminded me of our egg muffins we love. The best part is you can add the ingredients you and your family love!
I gather all my ingredients, muffin tin and liners because who likes to clean baked-on egg to a muffin tin? I know I don't! For this recipe, I used 12 eggs, one pepper diced, ham slices from Costco and some shredded cheese.
3. Layer the ham slices (I cut mine in half to make them fit a bit better), then sprinkle a few diced peppers on top the ham.
4. Next I crack one egg and scramble it in a little pyrex dish and pour it over the peppers and ham and repeat it 11 more times. I know not very efficient. You could crack all 12 eggs and pour them over the peppers and ham, but I like to make sure each muffin cup is distributed evenly. You do what works for you.
5. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese. We like cheddar or colby jack!
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. They should be nice and golden on top and slightly domed shaped!
Peel off that paper and enjoy! Or toss in your refrigerator and save them for another morning. These heat quick in the microwave at 15 seconds! I love making a double or triple batch and saving some in the freezer or eating the extras throughout the week. With a family of 6, we go through food pretty quick, so making extras is always helpful!
The combinations really are endless. Find what works well for you and your family, have your kids help and pick the ingredients too. Chances are they will eat them better if they were able to help in the process. Let me know what combinations you tried or some of your family favorites if you have done this before!

Bill Pepper - Australian Financial Review
"I have been working with Bill for over 15 years between the shores of Sydney to Los Angeles. Bill's expertise has allowed me to develop a strong Voice in Accent training that gave me the confidence on long term contracts with NBC's "Days of Our Lives and ABC's "General Hospital " and many other US projects. As my Acting Mentor Bill gave me the courage, knowledge and wisdom to achieve prime time TV success in Australia. His experience in diaphragm and voice projection added to my theatre achievements in "The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare "where I performed at the Opera House in Sydney and nationally .
Without Bill's persistence, determination and faith I would never have found the tools required of the voice to keep me employed in what I dearly strive to do which is " Acting "
Justin Melvey, Actor
"My vocal work at drama school with Bill Pepper is probably one of the most significant aspects of my training. 6 years out of drama school - I'm continually seeing and reaping the benefits. Bill has a wonderful ability to free the voice and help actors find colour and texture in all styles of work from classical theatre to film. He also understands text in its dramatic context which is invaluable for actors. He is one of the best vocal coaches in the country."
Jason Chan, Doctor, Actor, NIDA Graduate, AADB Founder
When I started working with Bill, I was immediately inspired by his generosity and his passion for words and voice. Having done mostly one-man cabaret and independent theatre in the past, performing the lead role ofthe Engineer in Miss Saigon in theatres with 2000 seats had called for a different set of vocal skills. Bill inspired me to access my unique true voice, when the whole body is engaged and vibrating, and when everything we say comes from our emotional core in the pelvis. Combining that with text analysis and phrasing for effective communication, Bill helped me find the vocal largeness, clarity and stamina that the role demanded so I could "fill the house" consistently and safely. I'm eternally grateful to Bill for an amazing journey and growth, and for inspiring a lifelong love affair with words.

Bartow County and Gordon County
Atlanta Campaign (1864)
Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman [US]; Gen. Joseph E. Johnston [CS]
Military Division of the Mississippi [US]; Army of Tennessee [CS]
Total unknown (US 200; CS unknown)
Following the Battle of Resaca, May 13-15, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston' s army retreated southward while Sherman pursued. Failing to find a good defensive position south of Calhoun, Johnston continued to Adairsville while the Rebel cavalry fought a skillful rearguard action. On the 17th, skirmish fire continued throughout the day and into the early evening. Maj. Gen. O.O. Howard's IV Corps ran into entrenched infantry of Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee' s corps, while advancing, about two miles north of Adairsville. The 44th Illinois and 24th Wisconsin (under the command of Maj. Arthur MacArthur, father of Douglas) attacked Cheatham's Division at Robert Saxon (the Octagon House) and incurred heavy losses. Three Union divisions prepared for battle, but Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas halted them due to the approach of darkness. Sherman then concentrated his men in the Adairsville area to attack Johnston the next day. Johnston had originally expected to find a valley at Adairsville of suitable width to deploy his men and anchor his line with the flanks on hills. The valley, however, was too wide, so Johnston disengaged and withdrew.

'Everything is Plastic'
The Faith of Unity Movement and the Making of a Post-Catholic Religion in Uganda
Asonzeh Ukah University of Cape Town
Keywords: David Chidester, Owobusobozi, Faith of Unity, post-Catholic, Material religion, African religion
One of David Chidester's long-term fascinations in the academic study of religion is his nuanced scrutiny of the sensorial features of contemporary religious life. Chidester uses an approach of multi-sensorial imagination of matter to investigate the plasticity and elasticity of religion to innovate and accommodate changing religious and spiritual desires and how such adaptions ensure the popularity of religious participation in a contemporary, technology-saturated society. Based on an ethnographic investigation of a new religious movement in Uganda, this essay mobilizes some of the analytical concepts developed by Chidester to think through the material dynamics of African religious life in the context of changing socio-economic, cultural, and political contexts of Africa.

The Lowdown on Elevator Speed
The elevator is a brilliant invention that has revolutionised the way that we do many things in the 21st century. In fact, we wouldn't have skyscrapers without the development of Elisha Graves Otis' safety brake in the 19th century and the majority of our buildings would only be several stories high. Here at Elevators Ltd, we try to stay up to date with the developments within our industry and it seems like lifts are getting faster and faster every year. Read on as we go over everything there is to know about elevator speed and control…
What determines the speed of an elevator?
In a technical format, the speed of an elevator is calculated by multiplying the speed of the motor by the mechanics of the elevator itself, such as a hydraulic piston system or a rope and pulley traction system. With this said, passengers do not actually feel the 'speed' of an elevator but rather the pressure of acceleration and deceleration that occurs when the cab moves between each floor.
What is the fastest elevator in the world?
Since elevators are often used to transport passengers to the top of very tall buildings, such as the Empire State Building or Burj Khalifa, it is important that they are able to operate at fast speeds. In fact, the fastest elevator in the world is found in the Shanghai Tower in China. At 632 metres tall, it may only be the second tallest building in the world, but its Mitsubishi elevator reaches an incredible speed of 45 mph! This is faster than Usain Bolt, who runs at an average speed of 23mph, but slower than a cheetah, which runs at around 75mph. Here visitors are transported to the top of the building where they are given a clear view of the Bund.
Are fast elevators safe to use?
Although the elevator is a man-made design, it is important to remember that decades upon decades of time has been spent perfecting these changes in order to ensure that they are as safe as possible. After all, elevators such as those found at tourist attractions wouldn't be installed to travel at such high speed if they weren't fit to do so. In addition to this, every elevator comes with an emergency braking system which is in place to ensure passenger safety at all times.
Here at Elevators, we understand how difficult it can be to put your life in the hands of a metal contraption that is travelling at high speeds, however, it is important to remember the safety precautions that have gone into the design of an elevator. After all, statistics suggests that it is actually more dangerous to use the stairs and that we are more likely to be struck by lightning than suffer from a lifechanging injury as a result of elevator usage. To find out more information about the speed and control of an elevator, get in contact with the best lift company around and speak to a member of the Elevators Ltd team today!
