From "Mayday!" to "This is your Captain speaking": Piloting your journey through mental health challenges by speaking up, not shutting down.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five children aged 13-18 have, or will have, a serious mental illness. Many of our children fly under the radar, quietly suffering alone without seeking the help they need for fear of stigmatization. Celebrity and mental health advocate Howie Mandel shows you how to encourage your kids to speak up not shut down. Howie reveals his own, very personal story, busting through mental health barriers and sharing why the words "me too" changed his life. He shares why talking about mental health is the ultimate cure for stigmatization, and how his battle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) taught him that the first place we need to belong is in our own minds.

From "Run away!" to "I'm OK": Making peace with panic and anxiety.
Your heart's exploding out of your chest. You can't seem to catch your breath. You're losing control. This is it. Everything you've ever feared has taken over. You're dying. Panic attacks are truly terrifying for adults; imagine what it must be like for a child. In this session, we'll decode what's really happening in the panic loop with internationally-celebrated author and creator of the Panic Away program, Barry McDonagh. Barry speaks to the heart of panic and anxiety, and shares why we don't end anxiety by trying to be calm; we end it by acting BRAVELY! Whether you're the parent of a child experiencing anxiety and panic, or have experienced it yourself, you will learn empowering tools and strategies to help you and your child handle anxiety and panic in the moment, and also build long-term prevention and resilience.
Barry McDonagh is an internationally-celebrated author and the creator of the Panic Away Program. Panic Away has been sold in more than 30 countries worldwide and is one of the most successful courses for treating panic attacks and general anxiety today.
The program was originally created during his college years, when Barry discovered that the key to ending a panic disorder was to re-evaluate the way anxiety is treated. Instead of ending anxiety by enforcing a state of calm, the person must first move into a state of excited arousal, allowing the nervous system crucial time to adjust and then eventually relax. Specific exercises are used to achieve this goal, restoring the person's body confidence and enabling a full recovery from the disorder. The program's emphasis on clarity and simplicity make it uniquely accessible and effective.
From "Be who I want" to "I connect with who you are": Transforming ourselves to empower our children; how conscious parenting awakens true connection.
In this transformational session, Dr. Shefali Tsabary distills conscious parenting down to one simple, yet profound, question: what can I do today to connect deeply, to be available and be present to my child? When we are "attuned" to what's happening in our child, we are in a state of true connection. Dr. Tsabary's words are infused with wisdom and delivered with power. She reveals that, while suffering is inevitable, true resilience is born when you turn toward your child's hardships with openness and acceptance of what is. You will be inspired, motivated and empowered to stay connected to who your child truly is, and create a life of authenticity and peace.
The truth about establishing consequences; are your lines in stone or sand?
Dr. Shefali is a world-renowned clinical psychologist, acclaimed author and international speaker who received her doctorate from Columbia University, New York.

From "I can't explain" to "I'll show you": Building emotional resilience through role-play and drama.
All humans need to feel seen and heard. This basic human need lies at the heart of belonging, and fuels resilience and well being.

South Ocean Boulevard is home to a huge number of unique Palm Beach condos, their one unifying feature being the excellent waterfront location. If you're looking for something that emulates a subdivision, you may want to take a look at the Claridge Palm Beach, a waterfront high rise that offers the quintessential condo living experience with the perk of being steps away from the water.
You've got the choice of being able to swim in the ocean or the Claridge condo pool, the latter of which is heated and the former which probably maintains a nice temperature thanks to the South Florida sunshine. You can also check out the game room or relax in the sauna. The Claridge residences come with two bedrooms and average between 1,300 to 1,700 square feet of living area. Each unit enjoys great oceanfront or beachfront views.
You'll quickly find the Claridge and Palm Beach to be an exquisite experience, the location of the Claridge alone being worth the price of admission.

In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)with donor sperm
In-Vitro Fertilisation IVF with donor sperm is a laboratory technique that involves fertilising previously extracted eggs with sperm from an anonymous donor.
Who is it recommended for?
Women without a male partner.
Women with a female partner.
Couples who have undergone multiple unsuccessful attempts at in-vitro fertilisation with the male partner's sperm if we suspect that the problems may originate from the male.
If the male partner has azoospermia (no spermatozoa in his ejaculate and none are produced in his testicles), or in cases where his sperm has been used unsuccessfully.
If the male partner has chromosome abnormalities and he may transmit serious hereditary diseases.
Couples where the male partner shows serious or irreversible sperm abnormalities.
Treatment Phases
1. Ovary Stimulation
In-Vitro Fertilisation and Sperm Microinjection treatment usually begin by stimulating the ovaries using hormone medications that work in a similar manner to certain naturally produced hormones. The aim of this treatment is to develop several follicles with eggs growing inside of them. In order to avoid spontaneous ovulation, this treatment is used in conjunction with other hormone drugs.
2. Ultrasounds and Hormone Check-Ups
The ovarian stimulation process is typically monitored using blood tests to check the levels of certain ovarian hormones and/or transvaginal ultrasounds that tell us the number and the size of the developing follicles. Once the developing follicles have reached the appropriate size, different medications are administered to achieve the eggs' final maturation.
Many of the medications are injectable and their formulation allows for self-administration. The doses and administration guidelines are adapted to the clinical features of each patient; response to the treatment may vary (normal or expected, high, or low). Occasionally, these are used in conjunction with other types of medication.
3. Preparing Sperm Samples
The sperm samples come from our donor Sperm Bank where we select the most suitable donor based on the couple's physical traits.
The cryopreserved sperm is thawed in the Andrology lab and processed for later use in conventional In-Vitro Fertilisation or ICSI.
4. Follicular Puncture and Egg Retrieval
The eggs (or oocytes) are extracted through the vagina under ultrasound guidance by puncturing the ovaries and aspirating the follicles. This is generally an outpatient procedure that requires anaesthesia followed by a period of observation that varies in length.
The retrieved eggs (oocytes) are prepared and classified in the lab. The number of eggs retrieved during the follicular puncture, their maturation and quality cannot be precisely predicted; and it is possible that no (viable) eggs will be retrieved.
5. Oocyte Fertilisation
For In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), the eggs and the spermatozoa are jointly cultivated in a laboratory under conditions that favour spontaneous union (fertilisation).
For Sperm Microinjection (ICSI), each oocyte must first be "denuded," i.e. removing all of the cells that surround them (cumulus cells). After this step, the eggs are classified according to their degree of maturity. Mature eggs (Metaphase II) are microinjected, meaning that a single sperm is inserted into each egg.
6. Embryo Incubation
The number of fertilised eggs will be determined 16-18 hours after the IVF or ICSI procedure, and these will be placed in an incubator for observation during the following days in which they will be cultivated using special techniques. Each day the number and quality of the developing embryos will be assessed. The embryos will be kept in the laboratory for 2 to 6 days after which they will be transferred and/or frozen in some cases.
At Clínica Tambre we use Time Lapse systems to assess the embryonic viability through morphokinetics.
7. Embryo Transfer
The embryo transfer is a simple and painless procedure that is performed with the help of an abdominal ultrasound. The process involves placing embryos in the uterine cavity using a thin cannula. A hormone treatment is also prescribed to create favourable conditions for embryo implantation.
It is important to drink several glasses of water beforehand so that your bladder is full, this makes it easier to see on the ultrasound exactly where the embryos are being placed. After the transfer, the patient will spend approximately half an hour resting in the room before she is discharged. Therefore, we recommend that the patient brings a nightdress or a dressing gown to be more comfortable during the wait.
The embryo transfer can be done 2 days after the puncture (48 hours after), 3 days after (72 hours), or 5 days after if a long-term culture and blastocyst transfer are being performed. The transfer day will depend on the patient's individual circumstances and her cycle.
The Spanish Law on Assisted Reproduction allows for a maximum of 3 embryos to be transferred. To avoid a multiple pregnancy, at Clínica Tambre we usually transfer a maximum of two embryos and, in many cases, we recommend transferring only one.
Finally, if there are any viable embryos left over from an In-Vitro Fertilisation cycle these will be preserved by freezing or vitrification.
8. Pregnancy Test (beta hCG)
The pregnancy test will be performed 16 days after the follicular puncture. The test is used to determine the level of beta hCG hormone in the blood (which is why the days prior to the test are sometimes referred to as the "beta-wait"). This allows us to quantify this level and thereby know more precisely how the gestation is progressing.
Third cycle
The cumulative pregnancy rate (own eggs and donor sperm) after three cycles is 85%.
Elisa already has Andrés in her arms: a case of success through IVF with donor sperm.

NFFE Praises Nominations of Susan... »
NFFE Praises Nominations of Susan T. Grundmann and Kurt Rumsfeld to the Federal Labor Relations Authority
Contact: Matt Dorsey
Washington, D.C. – Today, Randy Erwin, National President of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) released the following statement regarding the nominations by President Joseph R. Biden for Susan Tsui Grundmann to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) and for Kurt Rumsfeld to General Counsel of the FLRA.
"I am extremely pleased with President Biden's nominations of Susan Grundmann and Kurt Rumsfeld to the FLRA as Member and General Counsel, respectively. These nominees join a third, Ernest DuBester for Chair of the FLRA, to form a highly qualified team of dedicated professionals who will properly execute the mission of the agency.
"Susan Grundmann served as NFFE General Counsel from 2003 until 2009 when, upon Senate confirmation, she left to Chair the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Chairman Grundmann's tenure at the MSPB was celebrated for modernizing the electronic filing system, reducing case backlogs, and elevating the operational efficacy of the agency. Most recently serving as Executive Director of the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights, Ms. Grundmann oversaw a major transformation of the office to support enhanced requirements under the Congressional Accountability Act to adjudicate employee disputes on Capitol Hill. I am excited to see her nomination to the FLRA move forward and I remain hopeful for a very quick and successful confirmation in the Senate.
"Likewise, I am excited to see the nomination of Kurt Rumsfeld for General Counsel of the FLRA. Mr. Rumsfeld is an extremely qualified nominee having served at the FLRA since 2013 in senior roles including Assistant General Counsel. Mr. Rumsfeld began his career in federal workforce law as an attorney-advisor for the U.S. Department of Labor, after which he practiced labor and employment law with a private firm for 17 years. With Mr. Rumsfeld's heavy experience in federal labor law and with his deep operational knowledge of the Office of the General Counsel, he will bring the excellence one expects to such an important position.
"I would like to thank President Biden for three excellent nominations to the FLRA. Given the professional experience and qualification of all three nominees, there is no reason to delay completion of the confirmation process in the Senate and move speedily to a vote. There is much work to be done at the FLRA and I am sure these nominees will hit the ground running, returning the FLRA to its intended mission."

OmniFocus is the best Todo App out there and I love it.
I've been lucky enough to buy the legacy ios app at 20$ but I'm always scared that they stop updating the app and that I would have no other choice than to upgrade to the universal app.
Right now, the upgrade bundle is at 35$ (cad currency) and even then, I would have to pay another 28$ to get back the pro add-on (that is active on the legacy app). That make an upgrade price at 63$ wich is more than three times what I paid for the actual app and since I don't have an ipad/iphone6/watch… I have no new feature.
You may say don't updgrade… but time will come when the legacy app will not be supported and even tho I love OmniFocus, it's still the first time it would cost me 3x more to upgrade than the actual app cost me at the time.
You get OmniFocus. Life is simple again! You are now an OmniUser.
You like OmniFocus so much that before long, you also add your personnal tasks along your proffessional but there it is… how to separated both… well… you can't! You need the Pro add-on to get the ability to "Focus" (in a app that's called OmniFocus) and get those custom perspective.
Keep in mind that in that price, you had to pay in total 83$ for the Pro Add-on just to be able to "filter" thru your projects and sort between your personnal and professional life. Scripting is an advanced feature so I understand the extra but Custom Perspective and Focus?!? I'm I not already buying OmniFocus for the sole purpose of clearing things in my life?
Not doubt OmniFocus is one of the best (if not THE best) todo app out there. But you I'm sure OmniGroup is loosing customers with those price tags.
I would have never paid 83$ for an ios App. The past price tag of 20$ was just fine for my uses.
Am I alone with that feeling?
Possible new user - do I spend or do I wait?
I paid a total of US$69.98 (= Cad$91.08) for the Pro versions of both apps, iOS and Mac OS X.
Since, IMHO, OF is far and away the best suite of its kind (I've tried 'em all!), I'm very happy.
I rely on it almost hourly and it's lived up to all my expectations of it.
I have the pro versions of the apps. It paid for itself in increased production in 2 months.
I'm fine with paying the relatively high prices for the apps from The Omni Group when I see how much work they put into them and know how seldom there are paid upgrades.
I had a listing across town that I needed to visit. It was about 30 minutes away. I needed to pull the lockbox and the sign as it had just closed escrow.
Earlier in the week I had set a lunch appointment that was relatively close to the house.
Had I utilized OmniFocus, I would have set a context for both tasks geographically, and would have knocked them both out at the same time. Instead, I forgot I needed to hit the house while I was at the lunch meeting and had to spend another hour driving out the next day. My time is worth way more than the cost of this app.
Value for money = satisfaction minus price.
For me it is worth it.
If memory serves me right, it was about 6 years between paid upgrade cycles from version 1 to version 2. I didn't have to pay a yearly upgrade fee to keep up. So I think that the entire OmniFocus suite plus upgrade package is definitely worth it. The suite has truly evolved over the years. OmniFocus is one of the first apps to be installed on all my iOS devices and Macs.
and you get a stable Omnicloud-solution for sync and and so on, without a yearly subscription. I've bought v1 a long time ago and v2 (universal and the iPhone) some years ago and it's not more then 2 stops on the gas-station with a car.
Right now, the upgrade bundle is at 35$ (cad currency) and even then, I would have to pay another 28$ to get back the pro add-on (that is active on the legacy app).
If you have Pro features (custom perspectives) unlocked in the legacy iPhone app, you'll keep those same features when you upgrade to the universal app—there's no need to purchase Pro just to get back to what you already had.
At the risk of being simplistic… could this remind of us the proverb about the person looking in a lighted street for the lost key to their house actually dropped in some leaves right outside their front door, which happens to be on a still unlighted street.
"Why don't you come and look in our street?", says a neighbour.
IOW you get what you pay for!
Quite humbling all those replies!!! Also thanks to @kcase to take the time for that reply… I didn't know about the pro feature.
So there it is :) OmniFocus worth every penny without a doubt!
I'd be surprised if any of those of us who've replied didn't appreciate - at least, didn't understand - your reluctance to spend a sum like that which you've shown would be necessary.
Being an oldie from the days of WordPerfect, Lotus and dbase (Now those prices were steep! $400-$500 & up) I find today's software is almost a giveaway.
I think that Omnifocus is an expensive software suite. However, as a web application developer, I also understand why. End user expectations and the complexity of these products have increased dramatically. Quality applications, both web and desktop are difficult and expensive to maintain. I'd be retired right now if I had a penny for every time a PM asked me for quick and easy change and what they were really ask for was a fundamental change to the underlying data architecture.
A lot of software is moving to the subscription model because the only way to maintain profitability while meeting the demands of the end user is to do so. Instead of monolithic updates from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0, it allows for constant incremental iteration and improvement that customers demand, while allowing the company to continue actually making money. The alternative is to charge a lot for complex software.
That being said, I aways recommend people thoroughly test out a piece of software to make sure it fits into their workflow before purchasing it. For me, time is money and so if a piece of software is $1000, but saved me $5000 over it's lifetime, I'm completely okay with that. That's why from that perspective I don't find Omnifocus to be expensive. It's more expensive than a lot of task managers, but it contains essential functionality that I personally need that others may not. It is program I recommend to a specific subset of people, but for many it is not the right fit and I think that's okay too.
Short answer here, but I've found it to be an invaluable addition to my workflow.
Problems do exist (See below), but overall, I've found it to be a net-gain and sufficiently so that I'm willing to pay for the product across its two product lines (macOS, and iOS) and for its upgrades.
I think, OmniGroup ran its calculations on the price tag… Remember, OF appeals to a very specific group of customers, who are willing to pay for an increase in personal productivity. People, who don't bother with such questions, wouldn't pay even a lower price.
After maybe 7 years of plain text task management with TaskPaper, I tried OmniFocus for a week in January of this year, as an alternative to updating lots of Applescripts etc. for TaskPaper 3. I very quickly bought Pro license on OS X and iOS, and after three months of use I'd say it's well worth every penny spent for the improvements in my workflow & task and time management.
It's expensive, but worth it because you only pay once.

De-amalgamate! And put the local back into local…
Posted on 26 July 2021 by Daniel Lo Surdo in City Hub Featured City Hub 0 Comments
The Inner West community will be asked their thoughts on de-amalgamation at the Local Elections on December 4. Photo: Hector Abrahams Architects.
Opinion by PETER HEHIR
With the decision due in relation to what has been described as "several counts of misconduct in 2019" during the execution of his mayoral duties, the Balmain electorate awaits the fate of Mayor Darcy Byrne.
It was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald and Telegraph on Wednesday that Mr Byrne told an NSW Civil and Administrative disciplinary Tribunal hearing that he "regrets" his actions, which both articles suggest may well jeopardise his bid for re-election.
The pro mega Inner West Council's mayor is one of the three incumbent councillors for the Balmain ward.
However the sitting independent, John Stamolis – a strong and vocal advocate for de-amalgamation – states that regardless of the mayor's fate, he has always been concerned that the mayor lives out of the area; and not in the ward that he represents.
Emphasis on Local
Mr Stamolis firmly believes the point of local representation in local government should be obvious to – and the concern of – each and every elector.
Putting local back into government means electing candidates who will actively campaign for de-amalgamation.
The major parties obviously preselect members of those parties who reside in the LGA, but they also exploit a loophole that permits someone who lives a considerable distance from the ward they are supposed to represent, to get elected; and so ensure national and state policies are adhered to, regardless of the local impact.
Sydney is almost unique in that in most of the country, both Liberal and Labor Parties leave local government to true representatives of the community, those whose primary interest is to safeguard the amenity of the area in which they live.
The extent of the corruption at the State level – which has now clearly been proven to have thrived within the higher ranks of the Labor Party, with the conviction of ALP Ministers Macdonald, Obeid and his son, clearly opened the floodgates for the pro developer Liberal Party in the election that followed here in NSW, to swing the wrecking ball and tear the heart out of our Victorian streetscapes.
With the funding from developers swelling their election budgets, both major parties have embraced policies that foster a frenzy of private infrastructure spending coupled with high-rise/high-density development, to the detriment of those who have always lived in the quiet historic enclaves of cottage and terrace housing, in the ring of Victorian suburbs that encircle the CBD.
We need true independents with a proven track record. Don't be fooled by the majors. The rats are indeed in the ranks.
The approved infrastructure projects near the corner of Darling Street and Victoria Road in Rozelle and the destruction of Pyrmont/Ultimo are but the harbingers of even uglier things to come…

While in between jobs, I decided to pop back to the UK to eat my way around London over the Bank holiday weekend. I was also back to visit friends and family, but I find that doing that generally involves food consumption in some format, so I harnessed the opportunity and explored a few new spots.
I try to get back to the city at least once a year, so the plan going forward is to try a handful of never-before-visited eateries each time. I have named this series, as I'm sure you'll already be aware from the title (unless you are reading this without reading the title, you odd-ball), "The London Diaries".
First on the list was Wahaca, a British-born Mexican chain founded by 2005 UK MasterChef winner, Thomasina Miers. Inspired by the markets and street food of Mexico, Wahaca has transformed the usual tequila-soaked, carb-loaded, repetitive mexican scene we are all used to into a fresh, kooky alternative.
One of the most refreshing aspects of Wahaca is the way that the menu works. I love Mexican food, but I must admit that I don't often finish the plate in front of me. It's far too much of the same thing. Wahaca not only uses a range interesting ingredients, but also gives you the option of ordering a range of small plates – tapas style.
As we waited for out table, we perched outside with a cheeky cocktail, perusing the menu which was delivered within a few minutes of sitting down. After a swift 15 minutes, we were shown inside to our table. The restaurant was set out in sections. Some areas were raised, with wooden frames and flooring. It was a busy Saturday night, and the tables were a little to close together for my liking (we felt a little like we were on a blind date with the couple sat next to us), but the standard of service and quality of the food made up for our unanticipated dining companions.
Having made our selections during our brief outdoor aperitif, we ordered straight away. The first dish of six that we had chosen arrived within minutes of the waiter leaving our table, which was a surprise to us both considering the number of people in the restaurant at the time – it was a busy Saturday evening. We chose four of the street food dishes to share – pork pibil tacos, cerviche tostadas (prawns), tender marinated chicken taquitos, and chorizo & potato quesadillas, and two sides – tenderstem broccoli and black beans. The black beans, which were served with crumbled cheese and crema, were definitely highlight. Creamy and jam-packed full of flavour.
Having gobbled our savoury selections, and despite being overwhelmingly full at this point, we decided to order two plates of churros, accompanied by little warm jugs of caramel and dark chocolate sauce. Makes perfect sense, right? Well not really, but I'll have you know they were delightful. Beautifully crunchy, and the perfect way to end our feast.
The bill came to £49 between the two of us for four street food dishes, two side dishes, two desserts, and four cocktails. Really rather reasonable, I thought! So if you find yourself in London, I definitely recommend a visit!
And for those of you who don't live in the UK, fear not! Thomasina has also released a Wahaca cookbook, so you can enjoy the deliciousness right from the comfort of home!
A fresh take on Mexican, quite inspirational – I think you could launch a 'tapas' series on your return!
Great idea – I'll start brainstorming. I think we could have some fun with this.
Have wanted to visit here for ages – good to have a peep at the menu.
I definitely recommend – lot's of fresh and interesting flavours. We need something like it in Dubai!
I love Wahaca, there's one round the corner from my Uni in Bloomsbury…so I pretty much end up eating Mexican most of the time!
What a coincidence – I went to UCL, but there was no Wahaca at time. I'm pretty sure I would be leading a Mexican food filled life like yours if it had existed back then!

Is it possible to auto turn off the keyboard on the above Blackberry?
I have a problem with my Torch. Each message I receive (emails and SMS) is read to me by my phone. How do I turn this 'feature' off?
My phone for reasons best known to itself infrequently if not rarely reboots and then plays a loud piece of music (not one I have downloaded!) and I cannot seem to mute it or turn it off until its run it's 30 second course. This may not sound a long time but it is when you are in a meeting of quiet place and other than removing the battery, which would defeat the whole point I cannot find out how to a) silence it, b) turn it off for future reboots or c) why my phone feels the need to restart on a regular basis.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8900 on T-Mobile in the UK and just wondered if there was anyway to turn off the camera shutter sound?
for some new Sony Ericsson phones (I know the W995 has this problem for sure) there is no option to turn off the camera sound or the focus sound, even when silent mode is on. Here I am going to guide you through a solution to overcome this.What we are going to do is replace the sound files for the camera sound and the focus sound with a sound which is silent, using A2uploader.
The files in the .rar have been created to replace the Beer can opening sound, however if you want to keep this one, then change the number on the end e.g to replace the Laser sound the two files would be camerashutter4.3gp and camerashutter4_rer.3gp Although please note to replace the Camera shutter sound the number on the end is not 1, but is no number at all e.g. camerashutter.3gp and camerashutter_rer.3gp3.Now you connect your phone to A2uploader (see Tutorial on main website for how to do this) and go to tpa/presets/system/sound and drop all 3 files into this folder. If you want to keep the sound you're replacing right click on it and click 'read' this will create a folder ph_out with this file in it.4.Shut down A2uploader, switch on phone and bobs your uncle!You can also add other sounds, I created a Gavin and Stacey one here but I will happily accept requests for others.Hope this helps!

I have an 8330m and would like my ring to be loud and vibrate at the same time and only ring for phone calls. Eveb my cheapie phones could do that.
I have entered the details for the loud profile .When I click "active" the sound symbol has a red x next to it and there is no sound! Normal profile works, but this is not as loud as I want. I have a bb Curve 8520.
My iphone4 auto turn off itself, and can not turn on.
I just purchased a Lumia Icon recently and on going through and testing out various functions, I noticed that the video recording has an odd noise whenever the camera autofocuses.
The device is up to date on everything, Windows 8.1 and Lumia Denim with the latest camera app.
Right near the end I switched it to manual focus (the "jump" in focus you see and possibly the sound when that happens), but then switched it back to auto which is the noise starting again.
This happens in both surround sound mode and not.
I'm just wondering if this is normal or not. All the sample videos I have looked for either have someone talking or music playing over the video audio itself, or else what is being recorded is noisy enough to possibly hide the autofocus noise if it exists.
My phone is usually set on loud, but at least once a day it randomly stops playing my text message alert sound, and when I get a text, it starts vibrating endlessly and won't stop until I check the message. It's saying that my ringtones are invalid and won't play any of them. It also won't accept picture messages while it's in this mode. I can fix it by taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then I have to wait the 10 minutes it takes to turn back on, and this gets very annoying.
I've had my blackberry for about 2 months, and I've been using it as my main music player with no problems until this past week. Suddenly, every time a new song starts, the music becomes really loud, and I have to turn it down for every song. I've been trying to find some way to reset the default volume for music, but all I've found is enhanced audio, which is not on. Any ideas about what to do?
My bb keeps reading aloud every text message I receive, not good! I've tried all sorts to stop it but I am now really not happy about it.
The camera module makes cracking sound when it tries to auto focus. Also when its started this sound from the camera hardware is heard.
Despite having auto-rotate off in settings, it keeps rotating my screen, even in safe mode.
I've tried rebooting in safe mode, uninstalling recently updated apps, restarting phone.
Is there anyway to correct the issue of when I type me it auto corrects to mr. drives me crazy, is it just me?
How to turn off auto-correct on the HTC One M9? What am I missing?
How to turn off auto correct while texting?


Since she was 20, Priscilla Corrie has believed that she was Canadian. The war bride had no reason not to. Up until a few years ago, she never had a problem getting a passport. She receives old age security and a veterans pension. At 87, it was a huge slap in the face when Canadian Citizenship and Immigration told her she was no longer eligible for a passport.
Mrs. Corrie's story is appalling and Kafka-esque. She is caught in a bureaucratic maze. Trapped there, Mrs. Corrie has missed out on three important events in her life -- the marriages of two of her grandchildren in Australia and the birth of her first great-grandchild. She also missed the change to go on an Alaskan cruise this summer. To read more about her story, click here.
Sadly, Mrs. Corrie's story is not all that unusual. In Wednesday's paper, I'll write about how another woman is not only being denied citizenship, she is being denied old-age security and may be at risk of losing her health benefits. The daughter of a Canadian, she was orphaned in the United States and brought back to Canada when she was six. The Canadian government had no problem with taking her income tax money. But now, it seems she's invisible and even at risk of being deported to a country she left 59 years ago.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Were Driven to Step Back Because of 'Bad Blood' in the Royal Family

From ELLE
People devoted its cover story to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to step back from their roles as senior royal family members this week—and the outlet got some stark quotes from sources about what led the couple to decide enough is enough.
The British tabloids' unrelenting attacks on them was part of the reason. But the royal family's treatment of Meghan and Harry during the past two years also contributed. A friend said that their statement expressing their intent to step back wasn't their first-choice way of breaking the news. (The Standard reported that the two decided to post the Instagram after The Sun published a report that they were considering moving to Canada. Aides asked Harry to write out his requests, and Harry had been weary of doing so because he was afraid they'd leak. But he did, they were leaked by someone in the palace to The Sun, and that was it. Meghan and Harry pulled the trigger.)
"This is not how they wanted to handle this, but Meghan and Harry's hand was forced," a friend told People. "There is so much bad blood in that family—it's toxic. If relationships had been better, things would have been different."
Meghan was very affected by the way those around her and in the British press treated her like an outsider because she is American and biracial. A source close to the royal household told People that she was "deeply, deeply hurt," by it, and the royal family didn't do much to help. "Meghan and Harry didn't feel they got enough comfort or solace from them," the source said. So they're out, with the Queen's blessing to no longer be full-time royal family members.
As the Queen said in her statement, "My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wishes to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family."

Bastareaud and what this means for the MLR
Recently RUNY announced that they will sign French superstar Mathieu Bastareaud. The French center will join RUNY after the world cup in Japan in time for the start of the expanded 2020 season.
Bastareaud will join RUNY on loan from his current club Toulon for a single season before returning to Toulon.
To date the biggest signing to have made the move to the MLR has undoubtedly been Ben Foden. Foden who has 34 England caps to his name and has played for top English teams Sale Sharks and most prominently Northampton Saints. Foden who at 33 years of age provides RUNY with a wealth of experience whilst also being one of the teams top ball carriers, however he has not featured for the English national team since 2013. This is the major difference in the Bastareaud signing as he does still feature, and not only feature but starts on occasion for the French team.
The big center was drafted back into the French starting line-up for the clash with England in the Guinness Six Nations earlier this year and while they suffered a heavy defeat to the English, this was seen as a game to stop the bleeding from previous results and Bastareaud the man to do that.
The point being made, is that Bastareaud is still relevant. He is a player who at 30 years of age is still in his prime both physically and mentally to perform at the very top level.
The visibility this signing will bring to the MLR is immeasurable and could be the catalyst for other big names to make the move also. Rugby is still a relatively confined market for players when compared to other sports like soccer. There are only a handful of leagues and stemming from that limited employment opportunities for up and coming rugby players.
AIL League
Taking the Irish players in the MLR currently, the majority of these players with the exception of Cathal Marsh are products of the AIL (amateur league in Ireland). Players like Dylan Fawsitt, Mark O'Keeffe, Ben Mitchell and Will Leonard to name but a few have been stand out players in the MLR this season and have adapted well to the professional game. Much of this is down to the ethos of professionalism that exists with the top teams in the AIL. These are players who can play at a high level, given the opportunity and there are many more players like these that exist.
In Ireland for example, there is a surplus of top quality players coming through the 4 provinces academies yet there is only a certain amount of professional contracts available with just 4 professional teams on the island. The amount of professional opportunities for the 'pretty good' player in Ireland are few and far between.
The majority of these 'pretty good' players will end up going to England or France if they are lucky.
A good case in point is Ian Madigan, who could never nail down a position at Leinster due to the obvious talent of Jonny Sexton and others. Madigan tried France for a season before moving on to England to sign for Bristol. The goal for the MLR should be to offer the Ian Madigan's of this world a viable alternative to ply their trade.
The addition of 3 teams next season will add not only more exposure and revenue for the league in different parts of the country but also more opportunities for players to play in the MLR. With the World Cup just around the corner, all eyes will be on the US Eagles to see how they perform in their group albeit a difficult group. If the US can get a win against Tonga and put in good performances against other teams in the US, this would raise the profile of rugby in the US and could spark further interest in the MLR both domestically and abroad.
The MLR is growing and much like the MLS in the 00's needs high profile international players to grow the league and the sport in the US. The difference between the MLS and MLR is that the MLR could feasibly attract great players in their prime given the surplus of quality players to employment opportunities, if it continues to develop.
This then poses the question of balance. The MLR does not want to become a league of imports as this is not sustainable and will not benefit younger players looking to break into a team, the national squad and ultimately the MLR itself.
The balance needs to be there between recruiting foreign based players and working with the grassroots to promote the game domestically and have home grown players tog out for their clubs.
For now however, having the MLR as a viable and attractive option for foreign based players can only help the league at this stage of development.

The Guinness world's record for a parade of classic tractors is now 964 tractors/drivers thanks to a determined group of tractor owners at the Nebraska State Fair. The parade took place around the Fonner Park Racetrack after a morning thunderstorm as part of the opening weekend of events at the fair organized and sponsored by RFD-TV/RURAL TV.
In order to qualify, each tractor provided the VIN/Serial number and was at least 30 years old. Over 1,000 tractors/drivers participated in RFD-TV and RURAL TV's parade. A representative from Guinness certified that 964 classic tractors met all of the requirements and drove continuously around the track for a minimum of two miles. The previous record was 745 held by Elbach, Germany.
The parade was broadcast "live" on RFD-TV and RURAL TV hosted by veteran farm broadcaster and tractor enthusiast Max Armstrong, along with KRVN's Joe Greenwich.

Q: Is there any way to share images between two streamlit webapps? I want to link 2 web pages made using streamlit and hosted using Heroku. One of them removes the image background and the other does an image classification task. (They could not be made into one due to slug size limits of Heroku). At present, the user has to manually download the segmented image from one webpage and upload it to the second webpage.
The 2 can be shown together using an HTML iframe tag but I am not able to figure out how to transfer the segmented image from one webpage to other.
Any suggestion or help will be appreciated
Also please prefer solutions using python and its frameworks as the whole project is in python and learning javascript, HTTP, etc will take some time.
(but if it's not possible using python, answers using other methods will also be welcome)

A: One of my seniors advised me to explore other hosting options. (I had seen an online tutorial using Heroku , and did not know much about others). It turns out that streamlit cloud provides a much larger slug size and allows you to host it for free if you open source your project(I had no issue doing so), so I have combined the two parts and am now hosting using streamlit cloud.

Margy Haywood
Blew the whistle on patient neglect and struck off the register
In 2005, Margaret Haywood secretly filmed the neglect of elderly patients at the Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton for the BBC's Panorama programme, Undercover Nurses. "I knew it was a risk I was taking but I thought the filming was justified and in the public interest," she explains. Haywood had the consent of all the patients to use the footage prior to broadcast. Screened in July of the same year, it showed one elderly cancer patient screaming in pain because medication hadn't been administered; incontinent patients left lying in their own urine; and a woman with cancer who did not eat because there was no one to help her. "I did voice my concerns through my immediate line manager and I also went to my ward manager but nothing was really taken on board" she said. Haywood was found guilty of misconduct by her professional body – The Nursing and Midwifery Council – and struck off the register for breaching confidentiality of the patients by secretly filming them. After 25 years working as a nurse, the verdict left her devastated and unable to work. The documentary led to questions in the House of Commons. The nurses' union – The Royal College of Nursing – undertook urgent research into issues of patient dignity and established a whistleblowers' hotline. More than 40,000 members of the public signed a petition to reinstate Haywood as a nurse. In 2009 following a High Court appeal led by the Royal College of Nursing, Haywood was given a one-year caution and allowed to re-register. She returned to work training nurses and carers for a private company in Birmingham. In the same year, she was awarded the Nursing Standard magazine's Patient's Choice award.


Larkin Hoffman advises clients on renewable energy policy and programs, working to reduce the burden of climate change regulations and to capitalize on "green" business opportunities. We provide counsel on renewable energy standards, renewable energy infrastructure development, electricity transmission, energy conservation and energy generation.
Few areas of law have changed more rapidly, and with greater effect, than those related to climate policy and renewable energy. We have been leaders, helping shape this new legal landscape, with active involvement in key organizations such as the Environmental Initiative, the United States Green Building Council, the Environmental and Natural Resource Committee of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, and the Environmental Section of the American Bar Association.
In 2010, our firm was called upon to draft the initial language for Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) legislation in Minnesota. PACE financing involves public financing to incentivize improved energy efficiency in buildings and power generation from alternative sources. Shortly after the legislation was enacted, we advised on one of the first major PACE projects in the country. The project, for the largest retail mall in the country, met the client's goals of providing an energy efficient lighting system in the mall's parking ramps with a low upfront cost and quick return on investment.
While the shape of future climate regulation is still hard to predict, it is clear that climate regulation at the federal level is on the way and already exists, to varying degrees, at the state and local levels. This is especially true in Minnesota, which is at the forefront of renewable energy initiatives, regulation of greenhouse gas emissions through environmental review procedures, the adoption of PACE, and the enactment of a new solar energy incentive.
As environmental and renewable energy law and policy evolve, we help clients find the benefits of the changes, such as PACE financing, while avoiding the minefield of regulations that can seriously impair a business.
