A follow-up to my oncology visit.


A strong-armed passer who shows zip on his passes but has been plagued by streaky play—when he's hot, he's really on, when he's cold, he's ice cold. Runs a pro style type of offense, mostly out of the shotgun but does get under center and the Commodores will mix in and good percentage of pistol formation plays as well. They also like to switch to a hurry up offense in certain situations, which is where this player seems to be his best. He'll keep the defense honest by taking chances downfield; isn't afraid to unleash it and let her rip early and often if asked (see Florida 2017). Struggled in rainy conditions against Georgia in 2017. However, the two-minute drill before the end of the first half in that Bulldogs game was some of his finest football. When he's moving the offense along up-tempo and is required to use his natural football intelligence, that is when he's at his best. Smart decision-maker with room for improvement; will take the sack rather than forcing the bad throw but could learn to get rid of the ball altogether by reacting a split second faster. He does hang tough in the pocket and will take the hit in order to deliver the ball. Benefits from a top talent running back in Ralph Webb and runs an efficient playaction and hides the pigskin extremely well—can throw on the move and bide time in the pocket if need be. Part of the reason why he has such a low completion percentage is due to the play-calling. On many occasions, they will feed the run and then have to throw the ball in obvious passing situations. Along with head coach Derek Mason, he has helped change the culture of the Vanderbilt program and changed the perception from a losing program into a place where recruits want to come and play.

Routine Mammography May Lead to Overdiagnosis
Up to 25% of mammogram-detected breast cancers may not need treatment, researchers say.
Kathleen Doheny
MONDAY, April 2, 2012 (HealthDay News) — As many as one-quarter of breast cancers identified through routine mammography are "overdiagnosed," according to a new study that could reignite the debate about screening guidelines.
Overdiagnosis refers to cancers that are too small to be detected by means other than a mammogram and would not become lethal in a woman's lifetime.
"Overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment of nonfatal cancer creates a substantial ethical and clinical dilemma and may cast doubt on whether mammography screening programs should exist," said lead author Dr. Mette Kalager, a researcher at the Telemark Hospital in Norway and a visiting scientist at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "This dilemma can be reduced only when potentially fatal cancer that requires early detection and treatment can be reliably identified."
Until then, Kalager said, "women eligible for screening need to be comprehensively informed about the risk for overdiagnosis."
But other experts familiar with the study, which is published in the April 3 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, said no one can accurately determine which tumors will and will not progress.
When and how often a woman should have mammography — an X-ray of the breast — was widely debated after the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued new recommendations in 2009. The task force suggests that women aged 50 to 74 at average risk have a mammogram every two years. It recommends that women 40 to 49 at average risk discuss the pros and cons of screening with their doctors and decide on an individual basis when and if to start in their 40s.
20 Celebrities With Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer Diagnosed Between Regular Screening Mammograms May Be More Aggressive
Other organizations, including the American Cancer Society, recommend women begin mammogram screenings at 40 and repeat them annually.
The task force reasoned that between ages 40 and 50, the risk of anxiety-provoking false positive results outweighed the benefits gained from routine screening.
In the current study, Kalager analyzed data from nearly 40,000 Norwegian women with invasive breast cancer, about 8,000 of whom were diagnosed after mammography screening was introduced county by county starting in 1996. The information was gathered through the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program and included women aged 50 through 69. The researchers compared the number of breast cancers in women in counties offering the screening with those in counties not offering it.
The study authors theorized that if mammogram screening helps, it would lead to a decrease in late-stage breast cancers.
But that was not found. Instead, the investigators found that from 1996 to 2005, the incidence of invasive breast cancer increased 18 to 25 percent among the age groups invited to screenings.
The researchers estimated that from 15 to 25 percent of the women were overdiagnosed. The estimates varied depending on the length of follow-up.
The study didn't include ductal carcinoma in situ, an early form of breast cancer. Kalager said that would have boosted the percent of overdiagnosed women higher, as she said the lifetime risk of progressing from this early stage to invasive cancer is unknown, but probably is less than 50 percent.

Overdiagnosis probably occurs more often in the United States than in Norway because U.S. women generally start screening at 40, whereas 50 is the standard start time for Norwegian women, according to an accompanying journal editorial.
"For every life you prevent from breast cancer death, you are harming six to 10 women with overdiagnosis," Kalager said. Women who decide to go for screening, she said, have to accept these possible harms.
However, Kalager conceded that some guesswork is involved. "We cannot distinguish the lethal cancers from the slow or non-progressive cancers, so we do not know for sure," she noted.
Once a woman is diagnosed, she said, she would recommend treatment unless the woman is part of a clinical study.
Two experts not involved in the study took issue with the findings.
"It's too early to discuss the concept of overdiagnosis because science can't accurately predict which tumors are harmless from the ones that are more aggressive or deadly," said Dr. Kristin Byrne, chief of breast imaging at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Byrne's advice to 40-plus women? "Don't stop getting yearly mammograms."
Judith Malmgren, affiliated professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle, also objected to the authors' conclusions.
"I don't like the term overdiagnosis," Malmgren said. "A clinician would be hard-pressed to call a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer overdiagnosis."
Malmgren also finds the study methods flawed. For instance, she said, comparing screened and unscreened women would have been better than conducting a county to county comparison.

Q: Packaging an object for a model with a dynamic route is undefined — why? Playing around with with EmberJS, and I'm trying to understand some behaviour with routes right now.
I'm building a test app with the intention of hooking into the Rdio API and displaying albums/songs for various artists.
Here's a JsBin.
Right now, there are only two views: The Index (a listing of all available albums), and an individual Album view.
The dynamic route is defined like so:
App.Router.map(function() {
  this.route("album", { path: "/album/:key" });
});

And given a fixture that looks like this...
App.ALBUMS = {
 "status": "ok",
 "result": [
  {
   "key": "a5337866",
   "icon": "http://rdio3img-a.akamaihd.net/album/a/0/3/000000000051730a/3/square-200.jpg",
   "artist": "The Decemberists",
  },
  {
   "key": "a5229271",
   "icon": "http://rdio1img-a.akamaihd.net/album/7/d/a/00000000004fcad7/1/square-200.jpg",
   "artist": "Nicki Minaj",
  },
  ]
};

...the index works just fine:
App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return {albums:App.ALBUMS.result }
  }
});

(I've intentionally packaged App.ALBUMS.result in an object so that I can pack more information into it later.)

However, when I get to the Album view, I get a problem:
App.AlbumRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(params){
    console.log(params);
    console.log(App.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key)); //Logs object just fine
    return App.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key); //ERROR
  }
});

Packaging that return value (which should already be an object) in a second object or array though, and it works.
// THIS WORKS!:
return [App.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key)];
// THIS AlSO WORKS!:
return {album: App.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key)};

Why?
App.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key) alone should be (and is) returning an object, so why does Ember choke on it?
The error itself is rather unhelpful:
     Error while processing route: album undefined is not a function TypeError: undefined is not a function
    at EmberObject.extend._setupArrangedContent (http://local.lyrically.com/js/libs/ember-1.9.1.js:34181:27)

    at iterDeps (http://local.lyrically.com/js/libs/ember-1.9.1.js:17373:11)

A: Ember (apparently) likes it when model is an Ember object. The good news is that it's very easy to convert a regular object to an instance of Ember object - you just do Ember.create(yourRegularObject)
Therefore, returning the following
return Ember.Object.create(Lyrically.ALBUMS.result.findBy('key',params.key));
fixes your issue.

Robert Marella may not have had the greatest wrestling career of all time, but no one can dispute that, over 40 years, Marella genuinely affected the course of professional wrestling, in his roles as a wrestler, commentator, manager, and president. Is it any surprise that Marella has been inducted into several Hall of Fames?
Marella began amateur wrestling in high school, and went on to be a stand-out athlete at Ithaca College, using his great size to take him to second place in the 1959 NCAA Wrestling Championships. This brought Marella to the attention of Pedro Martinez, a professional wrestling promoter in New York, who signed Marella out of college. Marella first went under an Italian-American gimmick, calling himself Gino Marella. Although the gimmick didn't last, the first name stuck in the business (if you listen to certain WWF shows, you'll hear fellow broadcaster Jesse "The Body" Ventura call Monsoon "Gino").
Marella then went for a very different look, becoming the wildman known as Gorilla Monsoon, a dastardly heel from Manchuria who, with manager "Wild" Red Berry, quickly became one of the most hated wrestlers in the USA. Monsoon put his heart and soul into the gimmick, rarely speaking to fans and pretending to be a dangerous foe indeed. Gorilla Monsoon wrestled around the country with his gimmick, including signing on with Vince McMahon Sr's World Wide Wrestling Federation, which had withdrawn from the National Wrestling Association in 1963. Monsoon quickly struck gold, teaming with Killer Kowalski to win the WWWF United States Tag-Team Titles from Skull Murphy & Brute Bernard in November 1963. The two held the belts for over a month before falling to Chris & John Tolos. Monsoon wasn't done, though, as he soon switched partners, getting with Bill Watts to come back and reclaim the WWWF United States Tag Titles in April 1965, this time beating Gene Kiniski & Waldo von Erich. This time Monsoon had the belts for four months, before he & Watts lost to Dan & Bill Miller.
Monsoon continued to be a force in the WWWF for the next few years, regularly battling one of the top babyfaces, Bruno Sammartino, in the main events. Monsoon and Sammartino had several 90-minute draws, to rave reviews from wrestling fans. Despite his best efforts, though, Monsoon was never able to get the WWWF Heavyweight Title around his waist. He did, however, win another prize, travelling to Sydney, Australia, to win the International Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Title in February 1968 from Spiros Arion. Of course, since Monsoon was only on a short tour, he dropped the belt back to Arion a month later, and returned to the United States.
In 1969, Monsoon's career took a major turn, as he was attacked on television by another hated wrestler, the Sheik, with Sammartino, Monsoon's long-time foe, surprisingly coming to his aid. Monsoon quickly became a babyface wrestler, fighting with Sammartino against the Sheik and other heels in the business, including the heel WWWF Champion, "Superstar" Billy Graham. Due to his size, Monsoon rarely carried any gold during this time, with the thought being that he didn't need to be a champion to be thought of as a draw. Monsoon did have a major career moment in 1976, when he had a confrontation with boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Ali was currently preparing for a match against Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki, and decided to confront Monsoon in the ring. In a moment that still inspires discussion on the realism of the event, Monsoon picked up Ali and locked him in the Airplane Spin, before dropping him to the mat.
In 1977, Monsoon joined other WWWF wrestlers in travelling to Puerto Rico to wrestle in the World Wrestling Council. In July 1977, Monsoon defeated Hartford Love for the WWC North American Heavyweight Title. Monsoon, while also returning to the states, regularly defended the title, until he lost it in May 1978 to his friend/rival, Sammartino. Monsoon got the better of Sammartino a few months later, regaining the title, and would have another long run as champion. Finally, in March 1979, Monsoon dropped the belt to Carlos Colon, ending his long run with the gold.
Moving into the new decade, Monsoon began to feel the effects of a long wrestling career. In 1980, Monsoon fought Ken Patera for Patera's WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Title, saying that he would retire if he lost. When the match had to be stopped due to Monsoon being cut open, Monsoon stayed true to his word, later announcing his retirement from the sport (although he would appear sporadically in special matches for the next few years). During this time, Vincent McMahon's son, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, was taking over the business of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). McMahon approached Monsoon and bought Monsoon's stock in the WWF (Monsoon had a percentage from Vincent Sr), in exchange for giving Monsoon lifetime employment with the company. Monsoon was soon paired with another retired wrestler, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, as the commentators for WWF programming, with Monsoon also working in the backstage area. Monsoon would later join with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, forming another famous broadcasting duo. With Monsoon's help, the WWF quickly became the major force in professional wrestling throughout the 1980's.
Monsoon left the announcer position in 1994, giving the position over to another future announcing legend, "JR" Jim Ross. Monsoon had his own difficulties at the time, as his son, Joey Marella (who had been a WWF referee), fell asleep while driving after a WWF event, crashing his car and later passing away. Monsoon would disappear from the limelight for a time, but would make a dramatic reappearance in 1995, as he replaced Jack Tunney as the on-air President of the WWF! Over the next two years, Monsoon would make several critical decisions for the WWF, working as a "face" president interested in only helping the fans. In September 1995, Monsoon made the decision to allow Davey Boy Smith to replace a late Owen Hart, in Hart & Yokozuna's Tag-Team Title defense against Shawn Michaels & Diesel (Kevin Nash). When Hart arrived and was subsequently pinned, Monsoon was forced to take the belts away from Michaels & Diesel (since Hart wasn't the legal man), but quickly got Hart & Yokozuna to defend the belts the next night, where they lost them to Smoking Gunns.
In January 1996, Monsoon opted to suspend a rampaging Vader, which earned Monsoon Vader's wrath. Monsoon was Vader-Bombed, taking a horrible bump. He would quickly recover, though, continuing on as the President of the WWF for the next year. However, in 1997, Monsoon was forced to give up the Presidency due to health concerns, working instead as a road agent for the WWF. His health grew worse and worse over the next two years, but Monsoon continued to work for the company. His last appearance on-air was at Wrestlemania XV in 1999, as one of the judges for the Brawl For It All Match between Bart Gunn and Butterbean. The massive reception from the fans when Monsoon was announced was truly heart-warming. On October 6th, 1999, Robert Marella passed away from heart failure at the age of 62. His skills, both inside and outside of the ring, will never be forgotten.
- JWA 5th Annual World League (March/May '63) = Monsoon competed in the league, which was won by Rikidozen.
- WWWF Showdown at Shea '72 (September 30, '72) = Monsoon defeated Ernie Ladd.
- WWC 10th Anniversary Show (September 17, '83) = Monsoon lost to Abdullah Tomba.

As a hardware manufacturer, we've been paying a lot of attention to the Windows XP phaseout, which which became official earlier this month when Microsoft announced the end of support for the operating system. Since our regular customer and partner reminders began about six months ago, we've been tabulating the OS and browser configurations of our own site visitors, and it turns out that the experts were right: Despite the widely-publicized warnings about the lack of security patches, and the resulting vulnerabilities that would arise, not everyone was off of XP by the drop-dead date.
So, three weeks after the Windows XP Apocalypse, what does the current scene look like? When we first started reminding customers back in October 2013 about XP's impending retirement, nearly a quarter of visitors to our website were still using the aging OS. That was less than the estimated 30-40% worldwide, but enough to be a problem either way.
Jump ahead to March of this year, just before the deadline, and the number of XP holdouts had decreased to just 12.9%. That's an impressive achievement for six months, although it still left roughly 1 in 8 users running an unsupported OS. Interestingly, there was no noticeable acceleration of conversions, or any one event that caused a mass migration – just a steady pace of about 2% switching every month.
From April 8 onward, about 11% of visitors have continued to use XP even beyond the official deadline. While still not ideal, that's nothing near the disaster many had predicted last year, when a third of all computers were still on XP.
Another theory that got attention was that many XP computers were located in developing countries; therefore, they would be more likely to be "stuck" because upgrading to a new OS or a new computer would be cost-prohibitive. The observations from our own site seem to support this; the U.S. had a relatively low frequency of Windows XP use after April 8, at around 9%, while all traffic from the rest of the world averaged almost 21%. However, since these results account for only the traffic to our own site, it should be noted that they are far from scientific.
Tellingly, of the former XP users who migrated to another system over the past six months, most switched to Windows 7, not Windows 8 or 8.1 – this despite the fact that in the meantime, Microsoft discontinued retail sales of 7 except for OEM copies (e.g., for new computers with Windows 7 pre-installed, or for do-it-yourself system builders). That Windows 8 only saw a bump of a couple percentage points does not bode well for the much-maligned operating system, and further strengthens my belief that the next big thing in operating systems will be Windows 9, continuing the skip-a-generation trend that has gone on for some time. No matter whether it's well-received or not, Windows 9 is almost certain to be successful given the present circumstances – you can't get 7 anymore, nobody likes 8, and computers need to be replaced every so often … so 9 will be the default for anything new from the moment it comes out.
What's the next big end-of-life milestone on the horizon? That would be the retirement of Windows Vista on April 11, 2017. But, let's face it – there are so few people on Vista that they could probably retire it now without much effect (with a few exceptions, such as the gaming PC I built back in 2008). That means the next time we're likely to see a situation like this again is 2020, when the plug on Windows 7 is finally pulled.

/Dec. 11, 2019/ Glamping Hub, the world's leading booking platform for unique outdoor accommodations, today unveiled a reimagined logo and kicked off the first phase of a comprehensive rebranding effort across all channels. The company partnered with Origin
-- an outdoor-centric creative agency based in Canada -- to distill its brand essence, simplify its message and cement its position as a leader in the space.
"With our new logo and branding, we are taking the experience back to nature," said founder David Troya. "Glamping is about spending quality time in the places and spaces that are truly special."
Troya designed the original Glamping Hub logo himself: a simple red yurt with leaves sprouting from the roof. Later it was recast as a shaded tent, but he never truly felt that this camping-oriented visual was representative of all that is glamping: amazing treehouses, decked-out domes, cozy huts, rustic A-frame cabins and everything in between. The new logo depicts a treehouse (one of Glamping Hub's most popular accommodation types) neatly interwoven with a leaf and uses a fresh green color scheme.
"Glamping means many things to many people, but extraordinary spaces are always at the core," Troya explained. "We wanted a logo that reflects the inherent uniqueness of these kinds of experiences."
The rebranding effort represents not only the evolution of Glamping Hub as a company but also the transformation of the industry as a whole. According to a September report from Grand View Research, the glamping market is expected to be worth over $4.8B in 2025, and with over 31K accommodations in 115 countries, Glamping Hub is an established leader in the space.
"Glamping has grown from a passing trend into its own solidified niche within the hospitality industry," says Danielle Kristmanson, Principal and Creative Director at Origin. "With this project, Origin was able to get down to the core of Glamping Hub's brand identity, then reimagine it and express it in fresh new ways."
The new and improved web experience will be simpler, more visual in nature and rooted in the idea that glamping is about connecting with the world's most special places and spaces. Accommodation photos will be larger, the content will be richer and the brand will have a more consistent look and feel across every channel. These updates will roll out in phases over the coming months, starting this week with the new logo and colors. To learn more about what it means to glamp with Glamping Hub, check out our Why Glamping Hub video, here.
Origin is an outdoor-focused, digitally-driven creative, content and marketing agency. Founded more than 20 years ago, the agency has worked with a multitude of prominent outdoor brands such as Whistler Blackcomb, L.L.Bean, Lululemon, Smartwool, The North Face, and many more. With offices in both Montreal and Whistler, Origin provides a bilingual suite of capabilities to the outdoor brands it helps succeed and grow in both Canada and the U.S.

We've relaxed the restrictions on avatar and sig sizes for MDD Supporters.
Same one I've been using for years...only bigger. :d The 'web guru' made it for me a while back.
By doing so, the maximum allowable image sizes are handled by the forum software, meaning one less thing for us to moderate.
I need practice LOL !
...they look a bit scary that size!
Come on Dave, whilst we appreciate you have become a supporter, you really must make more of an effort with your posts.
hahaha im very sorry ..
What picture? Avatar, signature or picture in a post?
"You may not upload animated images."
You need to answer the question if you want help.
Maybe it's just me, but what is it about Shauns larger avatar?
Since the new rule came in yesterday, a number of people have uploaded larger avatars...so why is Shauns the only one that's doing my head in?
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but this post is especially for you, Rob.
OMG...I'm off for a lie down.
See you all later when I feel better.
EDIT: They seem to have synchronised now.
Oooh Shaun! :sick: Avatar and signature... too much!
I'm not being horrible - it's a great idea etc.
But Shaun's is making me feel ill.
Ok, I've had my fun. Spining signature and avatar removed. It can be a bit distracting.
Doesn't that sig link to a site?
You can make your signature link to a site (i.e. when you click on it it directs to your website). What you can't do is have a banner uploaded to somewhere other than the forum and use the image tags [IMG] to link to the image offsite.
Sorry if I didn't make that clearer earlier.
I may have caused confusion with the comment below.
Signatures can no longer be linked to from off site sources anymore.
You can't host your signature banner elsewhere, you now need to upload it to the forum.
Your signature banner can link to your site.
Ah so the fact I was using Image Shack to host it was the problem?
Ah gotcha ! I'll use Image Host instead then :pDon't confuse people even more!!!!!!!
Don't confuse people even more!!!!!!!
My banner has gone that Shaun kindly designed for me - How do I get it back?
I have just done it - the banner is ridiculously big though.
:confused: If you don't like the larger size, just upload the smaller original sized one I made for you. It's not compulsary to use a larger banner..lol.
Hahah, I'm not very banner/avatar/signature literate.
I'm not 100% how to resize.
Right Click and save to your desktop.
Then upload the image via your User CP.
I'm confused as to why some peoples banners have mucked up but mine is still ok.
Presumably, yours is already uploaded to the forum, rather than hosted elsewhere and linked to in your signature!
But not being very tecnhical I haven't understood it.
Yes, I have read that you have to not be in the 'Sin Bin' to become a supporter, and also read that the maximum amount of time that you are supposed to spend in there is 6 months. I have been in there for nearly 6 months.
Whilst your in the rules, you may like to note this one.
...and also read that the maximum amount of time that you are supposed to spend in there is 6 months. Not sure where you read that Max, but I'm afraid that we have absolute discretion, and, judging on the number of members who have mentioned to us that you shouldn't be allowed to post at all on this forum, you should really count yourself lucky.


Landscape lighting is now considered an art form and is a very important focal point in a beautiful landscape. The art is in understanding how much light should be placed on a house and garden and where to place illumination in order to create a soft and natural appearance of the night landscape.
Additionally, landscape lighting adds peace of mind. Homeowners recognize the value of a professionally illuminated landscape for safety and security reasons. There are potential hazards in everyone's yard and with a landscape lighting system in place you and your guests will be safer around curved walkways, steps, decks, pools, spas, and other outside features.
Motion detectors light up obscure spots when someone passes by and the installation of photocells will turn on automatically at dawn and dusk, protecting your property when you are away from home. Creating a safe haven with less liability is a very important focus in optimizing a landscape design.
Each lighting project is personally supervised by our designer or project manager to ensure continuity from the drawn plan to the built project. We have the expertise to advise you on scheduling, project management, and cost-effectiveness. From the initial underground work to the construction of your major features, we will seamlessly coordinate and schedule each element to insure that there is no lag time and that we meet our promised schedule of completion.

BROWN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
BYLAWS & POLICY

TRUSTEE MEETING MINUTES
HOW TO USE OUR CATALOG
REOPENING PLAN: Pandemic Policy.
Brown Memorial Library: Reopening Pandemic Service Plan
I. Service Plan Summary
This service plan is to provide employees and patrons Brown Memorial Library's (BML) plan to reopen the library on June 29, 2020, in a safe and responsible manner given the seriousness of COVID-19. A small team / reopening task force sat to write this service plan in attendance was Ellen Barselle / Library Director, Devin Pendleton / Trustee President, Laurie Farrell / Trustee, Brooks McCandlish / EMS & library volunteer, and Regina MacArther, Captain, Emergency Medical Services for the Bradford Fire Department.
Brown Memorial Library reopening task force team reviewed various materials from a variety of health and safety conditions, recommendations from local, state and national health officials/agencies, social distancing protocols, and critical community needs during a pandemic, such as COVID-19.
The resources reviews include but were not limited to:
New Hampshire Library Association Task Force Best Practices Document
http://nhlibrarians.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/FINAL-Reopening-NH-Libraries-Task-Force-Best-Practices-5_20_2020.pdf
New England Document Conservation Center pamphlet, Emergency Management & Disinfecting Books
https://www.nedcc.org/free-resources/preservation-leaflets/3.-emergency-management/3.5-disinfecting-books
CDC-Cleaning and Disinfection of Community Facilities
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-
OSHA Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID19. https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3990.pdf
II. Plan Priorities
A. Staff Safety
Making the library a safe place for staff is a top priority. Staff interactions and in-person services may pose a higher risk of virus transmission to staff who may be exposed to infected individuals or infected materials and surfaces.
B. Public Safety
This plan was written in consideration for the safety of the public / patrons and the responsibility we have as a public facility to reduce community transmission while providing a needed service for its people.
C. Evaluating Needed Services in a Pandemic
Our plan is intended as a soft-opening plan with a reduction of normal services. Our team determined what services seemed necessary given the state of our national crisis. We assessed the ability to provide services in a way that limits the risk as much as possible to both patron and staff. Our library was not able to easily provide online services as the library collection is not digitalized making curbside pick-up and loaning books online much more difficult. Therefore, reopening with safety precautions and reduced services seemed the best plan given the circumstances.
III. Staff & Public Safety Considerations
A. Current levels of community health
BML will begin reopening plans once the Stay at Home Order is lifted in order to ensure public/staff safety.
B. Vulnerable Staff:
Due to risk factors, staff or their family members may be at higher risk of complications if exposed to the virus by an infected individual, material or surface.
C. Healthy Work Environment
BML will only operate if it can meet the qualifications of a healthy work environment meaning the availability of PPE, health of its staff, minimizing health risks, and providing ongoing training and education to staff.
D. Restructuring Environment to ensure Availability of Hygiene/PPE materials.
Limiting patron entrance to ten people or under. Given the size of our town and typical use of library this limitation should not cause too much disruption.
Requirement that staff wear masks when interacting with the public. Request and strong encouragement that patrons wear masks within the building.
Provide PPE (masks, wipes, gloves, and hand sanitizer)
PPE products will be available immediately upon entering the library, circulation desk, and computer area. Signs encouraging use of face mask, sanitizing hands, and cleaning off computers will be placed in easily viewed areas.
Reduction in computers, two on either end of the table with wipes next to each station. Request of patrons to wipe down keyboard before and after use.
Staff will be asked to wipe down heavily trafficked areas such as front doors (knobs, etc), circulation desk area and all equipment used on desk, computer stations / keyboards every two hours. Hourly checklist will be provided for staff reminder and consistency.
E. Sanitation of Circulating Materials
BML has referred to CDC guidelines regarding sanitation of books. Returning books will be quarantined for 72 hours, or with more popular book titles the surface will be wiped down with appropriate sanitation prior to returning to the shelf.
H. Frequency of Cleaning Services
BML staff will work diligently to provide a hygienic and clean space to help reduce the risk of transmission of COVID19. Wiping down surfaces regularly, every two hours.
C. Programming
Children and adult programming are placed on hold until the need for strict social distancing is reduced or there is no longer a need for social distancing or mask wearing.
Children's programming will continue once a month with Ms. Laurie providing a virtual story time hour.
D. Technology Services
Two computers will be provided for patrons, located on far end of table. Wipes provided and patrons asked to wipe keyboard down before and after use. Staff will also be wiping computers down regularly.
E. Community Outreach
Library Director will communicate to library patrons the ability for books to be delivered or picked up if patron does not feel comfortable coming into the library.
Changes in Services / Programming / COVID 19 Protocol
Trustees / Library Director will continue to focus on New Hampshire Library Association, Governor Sununu's recommendation for reopening guidelines.
Reopening task force will meet once a month or as needed to determine if changes need to occur based on patron and staff's feeling of safety.
Communication will be delivered via BML website (www.brownmemoriallibrary.org), Bradford Bridge (www.bradfordbridge.org), Town of Bradford (www.bradfordnh.org).

Benefits of controlled diets for dairy cows
Kelli Kaderly-Boylen Published on 16 August 2013
Lipid damage effects on livestock production: Causes and sources of oxidation
Determining the digestibility of high-protein feedstuffs – Part II
Production responses and the role of antioxidants
This article was #17 of the Top 25 most well-read articles on www.progressivedairy.com in 2013. It was published in the August 22, 2013 Extra e-newsletter. Click here for the full list of the Top 25.
Freelance writer Kelli Boylen combined key points from two presentations at the 2013 Four State Dairy Nutrition Conference. Dr. Phil Cardoso said that cows fed a controlled-energy diet as opposed to a high-energy diet three to four weeks before calving tend to have fewer health problems, similar milk production and better reproduction. Kevin Lager's presentation focused on using the metabolic profile to diagnose and treat transition cow problems.
We asked Dr. Phil Cardoso:
Q. What new research are you working on or aware of regarding the economic benefits of controlled-energy diets?
Will controlled-energy diets fed to cows before calving increase efficiency and therefore profitability in my farm? At this moment, all the results from our research and experience on the field had shown that yes, the controlled-energy diet seems to increase profitability in the dairy farm. We are in the stage of finishing up two manuscripts on the topic. The first one reporting the effects of controlled-energy diet on health, milk yield and milk composition of dairy cows.
The second one discusses the most important items to be measured (i.e., in blood, in milk, etc.) during the transition period that are mostly associated with cows not being efficient. Additionally, we just concluded a trial indicating that cows fed the controlled-energy diet before calving experienced less insulin resistance (similar to diabetes type 2 in humans) when compared to cows fed a diet with higher energy during the same period. With all the numbers generated from our research, we feel comfortable now in pursuing a study that will put a dollar value on the benefits of controlled-energy diet fed to cows before calving.
—Dr. Phil Cardoso, dairy research and extension, University of Illinois
We asked Kevin Lager:
Q. What other tools besides the metabolic profile would you recommend to producers diagnosing transition cow problems?
While there is no substitute for good management, challenges are bound to arise. Supplemental tools for diagnosing issues during the transition period can include herd records, consultants and visual observation. Accurate records provide the basis for monitoring transition program success and can be utilized to proactively identify animals with predispositions for disease.
Consultants such as veterinarians and nutritionists have expertise in their respective areas and are important to the management team. Visual observations including rectal temperatures and body condition scoring are additional components of an assessment. Additionally, research is being conducted on the use of acute phase proteins as a method to predict post-calving disease. While not yet commercially available, initial results show potential for an additional test for the diagnostic tool box to get ahead of illness in the transition period, and addressing illness in the early phases is beneficial for both the animal and producer.
—Kevin Lager, extension dairy specialist, Iowa State University
Cows fed a controlled-energy diet versus a high-energy diet in the three to four weeks before calving tend to have fewer health problems, similar milk production and better reproduction, said Dr. Phil Cardoso of the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois.
He explained this during his presentation, "3-R Transition Period: Recovery, Reproduction and Results" at the Four State Dairy Nutrition and Management Conference held June 12-13 in Dubuque, Iowa.
Cows fed a controlled-energy diet in the three to four weeks before calving (often referred to as the "close-up" period) yielded the same amount of milk as cows that received high-energy diets.
Just as important: "Cows fed a controlled energy diet during the dry period had fewer chances for developing displacement of the abomasum or clinical ketosis," Cardoso said.
Many dairy producers and nutritionists follow the 2001 National Research Council (NRC) recommendations for feeding dairy cows. Those recommendations include "feeding diets containing relatively high — 36 percent to 44 percent — concentrations of non-fiber carbohydrates to promote dry matter intake" during the weeks before calving.
This in an attempt to increase dietary energy intake and thus decrease the cow's reliance on non-esterified fatty acids prevenient from what she has stored in her body.
Cardoso pointed out, however, that studies show cows fed a 40 percent or higher concentration of starch-based non-fiber carbohydrates often have a greater decrease in dry matter intake immediately before calving, which could lead to detrimental health and performance.
Cows fed high-energy diets during the far-off period (three to four weeks before the "close-up" period), he said, lost more bodyweight in the first six weeks post-partum, which may be related to higher milk urea nitrogen concentrations in the third week for those cows.
Although milk production was the same regardless of the freshening cow's diet, those fed a high-energy diet during the close-up period had higher milk fat in weeks two (4.3 percent vs. 4.0 percent), three (3.9 percent vs. 3.5 percent) and four (3.6 percent vs. 3.4 percent), and higher milk protein concentration in weeks three (2.9 percent vs. 2.8 percent) and four (2.85 percent vs. 2.78 percent) postpartum.
Cows receiving energy-limited diets had lower levels of triglyceride concentrations at two weeks after calving, which led to fewer days to pregnancy.
"High energy cows (being fed high energy diets) average 10 days longer to conception," he said, noting studies show that each day a cow is open 90 days after calving can cost at least $1.50 per day.
Other contributing factors of the improved reproductive performance include lower body condition score loss in the first six weeks postpartum and slightly greater glucose concentrations at week three.
"Controlling energy in the diet with high fiber rations seems to improve fertility," he said. "Controlled-energy diets are considerably less expensive than high-energy diets. However, further research is needed to access the total economic benefits of controlled energy diets — the diet that feeds the cow 'not too much, not less, but just the right amount.'"
Kevin Lager, a dairy specialist with Iowa State Extension and Outreach, said 75 percent of all cow illnesses occur during the transition period.
"It is necessary to utilize all tools available for proper diagnosis or treatment of illnesses in transition periods," he said during his presentation on "The Metabolic Profile of Transition Dairy Cows," noting that illness during this time will affect the milk production for the entire lactation.
Lager defined the transition period as three weeks pre-partum to three weeks post-partum. The Compton Metabolic Profile was the origin of the metabolic profile (MP) used today.
"Don't use it as the sole tool in your toolbox," he said, "but it is a good one to have in there."
The MP can help diagnose metabolic problems and production diseases by monitoring non-esterified fatty acid, betahydroxy butyric acid, glucose, urea, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, sodium and albumin, to name a few.
The MP can typically be tailored, depending on the laboratory analyzing the samples for each dairy management system, by selecting what components are included.
Lager said proper sampling, analyzing the data over time, and interpreting the results are all "imperative" to effectively using the MP.
"The results should be discussed within the management team consisting of the dairy producer, nutritionist and veterinarian to ensure that, should adjustments in nutrition and/or management need to occur, the proper steps are taken," he said.
When evaluating data, Lager said there are variations over time for the different breeds of cow, seasons of the year, number of lactations, etc. The levels of magnesium and phosphorous can even vary by the location on the cow it is taken from.
He recommends always taking samples from the same location, either from the arterial or venous systems. Samples should be taken at the same time of the day to avoid that variable.
"It is that old adage of 'garbage in, garbage out,'" Lager said, "The lab results will only be as good as the sample received."
Geographical differences can also affect the outcome, he said, so determining what lab to use can help insure accurate results. Blood samples should be placed on ice right away so heat won't affect the results.
The cost of analyzing samples varies based on the laboratory and what components are included in the analysis, Lager said. In the case of non-esterified fatty acid and betahydroxy butyric acid, there is an opportunity to use these components of the MP to predict if there'll be illness after calving and performance within the lactation following calving.
These components can be used as regular points of focus to assess transition cow management.
"Any opportunity to improve management and ultimately cow health reduces treatment costs, both of which can be more costly in the long term and so justifies the investment in analysis," he said. PD

AI, telehealth could help address hospital workforce challenges
Feb 10, 2020 | News
By Nathan Eddy / Healthcare IT News
Technologies such as telehealth and artificial intelligence could help health systems combat professional shortages in hospitals, according to a report on key workforce strategic planning trends released by the American Hospital Association.
Telehealth in particular could be useful to providers as health care is increasingly delivered outside of traditional settings and evolves to team-based models of care, according to AHA.
The report noted hospitals and health systems are deploying a number of new care models and technologies to supplement the workforce in supporting this shift.
In addition to team-based models combining physicians with advanced practice providers and nurses, the other major elements are AI, telehealth and other emerging technologies like connected and cognitive devices.
However, while hospital and health system leaders see AI as perhaps the most effective path to a more productive, efficient and higher-performing health care organization, realizing AI's full potential will take a collective effort ranging from health IT to successfully integrate into the organization's daily operations.
These were the results from an earlier study conducted by the AHA providing hospital and health system leaders an overview of the health care AI landscape, including the common use cases for AI in four broad areas: administrative, financial, operational and clinical.
The report also cautioned that hospital and health systems considering ways to integrate AI need to realized that its deployment would change the nature of how staff work at a hospital or health system, and impact the skills or competencies needed by people working there.
In the AHA's most recent workforce trends report, electroceuticals – a new category of therapeutic agents which act by targeting the neural circuits of organs, along with targeted and personalized medicine, robotics, 3D printing, big data and analytics, blockchain and automation were among the other technologies cited.
"Labor is the largest single cost for most hospitals, and the workforce is essential to the critical mission of providing life-saving care," the AHA report noted. "Although there are challenges, there also are opportunities to improve care, motivate and re-skill staff, and modernize processes and business models that reflect the shift toward providing the right care, at the right time, in the right setting."
Among the other top trends affecting workforce strategic planning singled out in the report: the development of a diverse and inclusive workforce, as well as financial pressures fueled by the high rate of projected growth in employment of several health care professions.
Burnout and workplace violence – which occurs at a higher rate in healthcare than in the general workforce – were additional factors the AHA listed in its report.

In this study, we attempt empirically to investigate the effect between financial ratios (liquidity, profitability, solvability, activity, leverage, sales growth, market value, size) and non financial factors (public accountant reputation, previous audit report, auditor-client tenure, audit lag) on going concern audit opinion. Sample of 148 manufacturing companies listed at Jakarta Stock Exchange from 2004-2007. Logistic regression is used to examine hypothesis.The results indicated that liquidity, profitabilitas, and previous audit lag are significantly affect the going concern audit opinion. On the hand, solvability, activity, leverage, sales growth, market value, size, public accountant reputation, auditor-client tenure, audit lag does not affect on going concern audit opinion.


I don't anticipate this being 2017's landscape. But I've always been a dreamer.
The world needs more heroes that we can root for, not villains we can tolerate.
We often allow our personal well being to suffer in order to put others needs before our own. But in reality, taking care of ourselves is being responsible, not selfish.
Sometimes, people respond faster if you tell them a little snippet about yourself before you ask for theirs.
Forgive yourself. It happens. In those moments, try to find a little laughter.
We all have in us, the capacity to be kind.
I have a challenge for you: the next time you venture into the world, try to put forth only kindness.

Q: BeanCreationException Vaadin I'm trying to integrate Spring Boot Vaadin (https://github.com/peholmst/vaadin4spring) with Vaadin's Dashboard Demo Code (https://github.com/vaadin/dashboard-demo). The only thing modification I made was add the annotation "@VaadinUI" in the DashboardUI class. I checked in my code using the branch "integrate-vaadin-dashboard-demo-project".
I get the error message:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBindingPostProcessor': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/validation/ParameterNameProvider.

I'm not really sure what the message means. Can somebody explain it and come up with a resolution to the error message?
Gist Error Output:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/43d602c1105e00d4d7d6
Clone Url:
https://github.com/caritos/pangolin.git
Branch:
integrate-vaadin-dashboard-demo-project

A: You pack javax validation api 1.0 in your jar.  This is the version the GWT compiler needs (when you build a widgetset).  But spring-boot depends on version 1.1.  Usually the problem is the other way around...

Industrial metallers hERETICS iN tHE lAB unveil new lyric video for 'Some People' via VampireFreaks.com
hERETICS iN tHE lAB are currently set to release their new album, "Suture", via Sacrifice Records on November 12, 2013. Today, VampireFreaks.com is unleashing the band's brand new lyric video for the track 'Some People'. Check it out now at this location.
Main instrumentalist and producer h3 explains the meaning behind the track, stating, "'Some People' is a song about pacified people who want be told what to think and want to believe what they're told. It's a warning to make sure those same people know to stay away from me."
h3 is the primary backbone of hERETICS iN tHE lAB on "Suture". Although the band performs live with additional members M1 (keys), tB (drums), kV (guitars), h3 creates all that is hERETICS iN tHE lAB, not unlike many of industrial's greatest musical minds.
Drawing comparisons to Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Bile and Marilyn Manson, hERETICS iN tHE lAB has established themselves in the underground goth / industrial scene as a force to be reckoned with while still managing to appeal to more mainstream fans of heavy metal and rock. Known for the shear emotional intensity of their live shows as well as their erratic unpredictable song structures hERETICS iN tHE lAB consistently challenges unprepared audiences and leaves them awe-inspired.
Born from social loathing, an evolved conscious, and experimentation in sonic terrorism, Virginia-natives hERETICS iN tHE lAB take elements of industrial music, fine art, post-apocalyptic rock and roll, and avant-garde sound-scapes to form an incredibly intense hard-line industrial music experience drenched in ego and libido.
The band has a static video out now for their first single 'Skin', available for viewing here.
The band will perform at a few local tour dates in the come months. See below for all dates, including the CD release party for "Suture".
Upcoming hERETICS iN tHE lAB tour dates:
10/25 Washington, DC @ Phase 1 Dupont – Bound Festival
10/31 Virginia Beach, VA @ The Jewish Mother Hilltop w/ Deist Requiem & Pillbuster
11/12 Norfolk, VA @ The Wave ***CD Release Party***

Q: Imported pfx certificate is not saved on disk I wrote a script in PowerShell to import a certificate on Windows Server 2016/2019. The script is added to an Azure DevOps pipeline and the agent is an Environment Agent running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. It first imports the certificate into the LocalMachine\My store and sets read permissions on the certificate right after that. It comes with quite weird behavior while running as a pipeline or executed manually. I'll write out the different kinds of behavior:

*

*Import certificate on a server (successful)

*Check the existence of the file on the physical disk (successful -> found in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)

*Set read permissions for account x (successful)

*

*Import certificate on a server (successful)

*Check the existence of the file on the physical disk (failed. File is not stored programdata\machinekeys, but in  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\Keys)

*Set read permissions for account x (failed --> can't find the file on the proper location)

*

*Import certificate on a server (successful)

*Check the existence of the file on the physical disk (successful)

*Set read permissions for account x (failed --> can't find the file on the proper location. does not exist on the server )

There is no way to predict which one of the scenario's will occur while running the script.
I monitored server and file behavior with ProcMon (SysInternal Suite) during the import and did see the file being created and saved in while in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
during both successful and failed attempts.
Import PFX code:
$FilePath = 'e:\folder\certificate.pfx'
$password = 'iLoveChocolateyCookies'
$cert = New-Object system.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2($FilePath, $password, "PersistKeySet,MachineKeySet")
$store = New-object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -argumentlist "My", "LocalMachine"
$store.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::"ReadWrite")
$store.Add($cert)
$store.Close()

Physical disk location check code:
$checkCert = Get-ChildItem "Cert:\LocalMachine\My" | Where-Object { $_.thumbprint -eq '<insertThumbhere>' }
$rsaCertCheck = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.RSACertificateExtensions]::GetRSAPrivateKey($checkCert)
$checkCertDirectory = (Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Crypto' -Include $rsaCertCheck.Key.UniqueName -File -Recurse).DirectoryName
if ($checkCertDirectory -eq "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys") {
    Write-Host "Certificate found on physical disk."
} else {
    throw 'nope'
}

Import-PfxCertificate showed the same behaviour. That is why I decided to use the .Net approach after consulting StackOverflow and Google, but ended up with the same issues.
A helpful hand will be very much appreciated :)


Dr Julia Reid MEP, UKIP's Environment Spokesman said: "As we begin to prepare our gardens for the summer, many of us will be reminded why our decision to leave the European Union was the right one.
"Last year, the European Commission published their Invasive Alien Species Regulation. As a testament to how utterly ridiculous these EU-wide regulations can be, Britain's beloved pond plant, Eichhornia Crassipes (commonly known as water hyacinth) was banned from being grown or sold anywhere within the EU, despite only being problematic in countries with significantly warmer climates than ours."
Here in the UK, the water hyacinth is a favourite of pond owners because it protects fish from predators, such as herons and kingfishers, oxygenates water, and prevents algae from clogging ponds.
Dr Reid continued: "In countries with warmer climates like Spain and Portugal, the Water Hyacinth can grow very quickly, creating thick floating mats on lakes and affecting water sports, boating and irrigation.
"However, due to our relatively cooler climate, it's not a problem here in the UK as it grows significantly slower and does not survive our outdoor winter without a warmed greenhouse. Furthermore, as it does not seed, it cannot escape into waterways either.
"In fact, the water hyacinth has been sold here in the UK for over 50 years and has not had any detrimental impact on our environment.
"Quite simply, the European Commission ignored the scientific evidence and needlessly implemented an EU-wide ban on the one of a kind plant species.
"We in UKIP believe that such regulations should be made by National Governments, as it is they who should decide what is best for their countries and their environment. There is absolutely no reason why the affected countries can't implement a ban on a national level, as Spain and Portugal have already done."
Given that retailers and wholesalers were given 12 months to clear their shelves of the species, they will no longer available to purchase from August onwards.

Continuing with the latest trend of enterprises focused on capitalizing the massive interest in blockchain, IBM recently opened a tech garage in Soho New York dedicated to the development of blockchain tech. Cloud providers – Amazon, Microsoft and now IBM are deploying blockchain environments for both developers and SMEs. This is great news for the expansion of blockchain and making it "mainstream", but is this more beneficial for the large enterprises or for the developers themselves?
Earlier this month, IBM announced the massive Watson Centre at Marina Boy in Singapore. Designed to house 5,000 computer scientists in the Asian-Pacific region, the location also included a new IBM Garage. Then, just last week IBM announced that Mizuho Financial had successfully tested a digital currency-based blockchain settlement system created at the newly opened IBM Garage in Tokyo.


Cognitive and machine learning is powering behaviour in three critical ways for customers and retailers this holiday season.
How customers find gifts? Customers are looking for ease and convenience when holiday shopping. They want an experience that is personalized to their needs. The expectation is that each stage of the journey will be seamless. Voice is driving the beginning stage of their journey. According to Accenture, a majority of consumers are already using or would like to use a number of technologies that are powered by AI. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed indicated that they were using or wanted to use Google Home, compared to 71 percent for Amazon's Alexa. Similarly, voice-search enabled digital assistants such as Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana and are becoming the go-to search mode for mobile. This trend is here to stay beyond the holidays. ComScore says that by 2020, 50 percent of all searches will be voice searches.
Where and how customers buy? AI can help companies manage data and allow them to be predictive of customer behaviour. By leveraging information about weather, location, and preferences, it can help to create an optimal shopping experience. For retailers, AI can improve supply chain management. It can provide insights in to managing inventory levels and streamlining shipping management. The result is the right items are available and can be shipped to customers in a timely fashion.
How companies manage customer service? During the holidays there is an increased need for seasonal staff to handle customer service issues. For companies, AI is playing a key role in handling many of the basic requests. IVR's and chatbots powered by AI are handling tasks such as updates on orders, sharing return policies and answering FAQ's. According to Narvar, customers are not noticing the difference. Their research found that 38% of consumers didn't know whether a live chat or messenger app was a human being or AI. Only 10% knew it was not human. Gartner predicts that by 2020, the customer will manage 85% of its relationship with an enterprise without interacting with a human source.
To find out more about the five ways marketers can win the holidays, check out this series by IBM covering: 1 – Bridge Digital & Physical Experiences, 2 – Predict the Future to Improve Your Impact, 3 – Market in the Moments that Matter, 4 – Discover the Best Path to Purchase, and 5 – Get Alerted to High-Impact Situations.

Q: How to let compiler examine data type manually without C++11 void f(string str,int i )
{
  cout<<str.c_str()<<endl;
  cout<<i<<endl;
}

typedef void (*PF)(int i,string str);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

   PF pf=(PF)(void*)&f;

   pf(10,string()); //runtime-error

   return 0;

}

Due to some needs, I need to call the function f using the address of f which data type has been erased (such as the code above). But this solution may cause the insecure function call because the data type can't be checked during the compiling.
Is there some ways to let the compiler to report an error when the the type of parameters are different from arguments'?
Something like this:
void f(T1 i,T2 j)
{
  T1 p* = new i.real_type; //if i.real_type is different from T1, it will lead a compiling
....
}

I appreciate that very much.

A: The only run-time type information available in C++ is typeid and dynamic_cast, and they only work on polymorphic types (class types with virtual functions).  Function pointers don't store the necessary information.
Really, you should just avoid casting function pointers.  The only place a function pointer case is ever necessary is on the return value from GetProcAddress or dlsym.

A: No. There is no safe way to "get the type" from void*. There is likely a clean way to solve your actual problem so that void* is not needed. I suggestiv you post a new question there you explain your specific task.

A:
Is there some ways to let the complier to report a error when the the type of parameters are different from arguments'.

How could it know? You subverted the type system (that's what casts to void*s do). You told the C++ compiler to pretend that a function pointer was a pointer to anything, then you told it to pretend that this pointer to anything was a pointer to a different type of function.
The compiler has no way of knowing what the original type was. All it knows is that there's a void*, and you asked to convert it to something. In order to allow void* to work at all, the C++ language doesn't require the compiler to magically know where a void* came from and what it used to be. Therefore, you can cast it to anything, but the specification states that if what you cast it to isn't the original type, you get undefined behavior.
The type system in C++ is what allows the compiler to detect when you've done something wrong. By subverting it, and subsequently doing it wrong, you have given up all rights to live in a rational universe. You told the compiler, "I know what I'm doing", then shot yourself in the foot.
The best you can do is use Boost.Any to store your function pointer. Any attempt to cast it to anything except what was originally stored in it will throw an exception. At runtime, of course.

A: Depending on the variety of function types you have, you add something for test or debug builds:
// Once off init call
DEBUG_INSERT (&f, INT_STRING);

...

DEBUG_CHECK_FUNC (pf, INT_STRING);
pf(10,string()); //runtime-error

I'm pretty sure that with some boost and/or c++11 magic you could remove the need to have a "KIND" and have that deduced implicitly from the original function type.  You could probably end up with your call looking as follows:
CHECKED_CALL (pf, 10, string ());

Where in release builds it just calls the function with the arguments and in debug builds you get the checking too.


My son is gifted in math, so I was looking for a program that would allow him to advance at his own pace. He went through ALEKS Mathematics - LV 4-6 in just a few months, followed by Middle School Math Course 2 and Pre-Algebra. He has just finished the third grade and is now working on Algebra 1 in ALEKS. He is very excited about math, and spends much of his free time trying to learn even more advanced math. ALEKS allows him to learn concepts quickly and is constantly reassessing him to make sure that he retains the material. I am convinced that his progress would have been much slower, and much more labor intensive for me, if I had tried to tutor him using textbooks. I would recommend ALEKS to all parents.
I was looking for something that I could use to teach my son quickly and conveniently. I wanted a tool with an excellent interface that would allow my son to progress through K-12 math courses at his own pace.
My son uses ALEKS at home, independent of school.
My son's progress has been amazing and his enthusiasm for math has grown tremendously! His scores on above-level standardized tests, such as the Northwest Evaluation Association's Measure of Academic Progress (NWEA MAP), are extremely high. This has opened up opportunities for gifted-level education at his school.
He is very excited about doing above-level math! He loves being a math whiz and he talks about math constantly. ALEKS has helped his confidence to know no bounds!
