Here are a few items you should know about all water heaters, regardless of if they are tankless water heaters or tank-type water heaters.
While a working hot water heater is a necessity for every home, not all water heaters are created equal. You shouldn't have to put up with long wait times for hot water or inconsistent delivery. And you should NEVER run out of hot water. At Yes! Plumbing we pride ourselves on being able to provide each homeowner with the unique solution that is right for their family. You can have a high quality water heater designed to meet the demands of your home installed for a reasonable price in a very short period of time.
The latest hot water heater models are more energy efficient and quite effective at providing your entire house with hot water when you need it – provided they are sized, installed and maintained properly. Our expert technicians will be happy to provide maintenance for the life of your water heater, extending its useful life by many years.
We know you need to have an expert plumber on your side that can guide you through the new hot water heater selection process and help you make an informed decision about which model is best for your family. Yes! Plumbing can install tankless water heaters and install or repair water heaters of any kind. Call Yes! now for a same day consultation for water heater repair or replacement.
Water heaters come in two basic styles—tank storage types and tankless types. One of the most important and challenging aspects of picking out a water heater is making sure the one you choose is the right size and type for your household. In order to do this, you will need to have a good estimate of how much hot water you use on a regular basis, how much you are willing to pay to store hot water, and what kind money you can make by taking advantage of Gas Utility Company incentives and Federal Tax incentives.
Calculating your household hot water demand can certainly be a challenge. That is why having the assistance of an experienced professional can make such a difference. Our experts will help you figure out just how much hot water you need at peak times in your household and what the lowest cost installation will be. With that information, you will be able to select the right size and type of water heater to suit your needs.
How Do I Know if It Is Time to Replace My Water Heater?
You should consider replacing your water heater if you have noticed persistent problems with getting hot water when and where you need it or if you are calling for repairs on a regular basis. Even if this is not the case, however, you may still want to replace your water heater if your current unit is more than 10 years old. This is about the average lifespan of a water heater anyway, and a model this old is likely much less energy efficient than the ones on the market today, meaning you're spending more on monthly energy bills than you need to.
We will take care of removing your old water heater and we can have your new one in place in no time. Whether you opt for a traditional tank style or a tankless water heater, our Factory Certified Plumbers insure expert installation at a reasonable cost.
Keeping your water heater properly maintained is vital to ensuring that it will serve you well for many years to come. Yes! Plumbing offers full factory certified water heater maintenance services in our service area. (see our service area map at this link). And if you do find yourself in need of emergency repairs, we can take care of that as well. YES! has service available 24/7, 365 days a year. Whatever your water heater service needs, call us today and we'll have a State Licensed Plumber there before you know it.
In addition to installation services, Yes! Plumbing also offers complete water heater maintenance and repair to customers in our service area. Even if we did not handle your initial water heater installation, we would be glad to take over the routine maintenance of your system or to provide any plumbing repair services you may need. Having a reliable water heater in your home can make many aspects of your life easier. And many newer water heater models are quite energy efficient. But even though you have a great product in place, that does not mean that you cannot take some steps on your own to help your water heater work better and last longer.
Depending on the company doing the installation, water heaters come with either a guarantee, or a warranty.
Generally a warranty contains exceptions and exclusions. For instance, a 6 year warranty may cover labor for 30 days, parts for 12 months and the tank for 6 years. So if your thermopile malfunctions after 13 months, you pay for the parts and labor just as if the heater had no warranty at all.
A Guarantee, on the other hand, provides full coverage for the entire period of the guarantee. For instance, in the example above, if the thermopile went out 13 months (or 6 years) after installation, the repair would be absolutely free.
At Yes! Plumbing , all of our heaters are manufactured to exacting specifications. This allows us to provide unrivaled guarantees of your choice. Choose 6, 8, 10 or lifetime guarantees on our tank type heaters. We give a full 3 year guarantee on our tankless heaters, as well as 5 years on the heat exchangers.
Whatever style of heater you choose, be sure the installing contractor gives you a copy of the warranty or guarantee in writing.
One important element to consider when examining your tank water heater options is how large of a tank you need. Tank water heaters maintain a reserve supply of hot water that you can then tap into when you need hot water for something anywhere in your home. Because of this dynamic, the size of the tank your water heater has will directly affect how much hot water you can use at a time.
A tank that is too small will be empty before you have satisfied your hot water needs. To pick the right sized tank, you must know the maximum amount of hot water your family will use at any given time. But that does not mean that you should just pick the biggest tank either. The larger the tank, the more expensive the water heater—you don't want to spend more than you need to.
And the initial cost of the unit is not the only thing you need to worry about. Keep in mind that the water heater will be using fuel to keep the water in the tank at the right temperature at all times. If you have a larger tank, your water heater will need more energy to keep the water hot. So the expense of having a larger tank does not stop at installation. Your best bet is to work with a professional to determine exactly how much hot water your household uses on a regular basis and at peak times. Then you can make an informed decision about which type of tank water heater is right for you.
You should also pay attention to the respective energy efficiency ratings of the tank water heaters you are considering. Most modern models are somewhat energy efficient, but a few are "Energy Star" rated, meaning that exceed or meet a high efficiency rating designated by the Federal Government, and it's worth paying attention to the ratings because it can help you save more money.
Yes! Plumbing offers a great line up of quality tank water heaters for you to choose from. We can help you examine your options to find the best product, and we provide full hot water heater installation, maintenance and repair services.
It is a good idea to turn down the thermostat on your water heater to around 120°F. This is a safety item as well as an efficiency item. This is plenty hot enough to provide you with comfortable hot water and it will cost you significantly less each month to maintain your supply of hot water at this level. Reducing the temperature of the water in the tank will also mean your water heater does not have to work as hard to keep the water hot, and so it will stay in better shape for longer.
It is common for sediment to build up in the bottom of your water heater tank over time. Manufacturers all recommend that you flush your tank type water heater every 6 months to maintain efficiency and prevent premature burnout. Fortunately, getting rid of this sediment is relatively easy. You can have a professional come out and take care of it or you can do it yourself.
To clear the sediment from your water heater, simply drain the tank, taking great care to follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure exactly. Most of the sediment should come out with the water, and once the tank is empty you can go in and make sure that everything is cleared out. As long as you do this at least twice a year, and with properly treated water, you should have no problems with sediment build up in the future.
Stay Away from Electric Water Heaters!
While you can use just about any energy source to heat the hot water in your home, your best bet is to stay away from electric water heaters. No matter what your other options are, electricity will almost always cost significantly more if you depend on it to provide hot water for your entire home. So if you do not have access to natural gas in your area, you may want to look into propane as a power source for your water heater.
Can I Install a Tank Type Water Heater Myself?
While it is true that tank type water heaters are not a particularly complicated piece of equipment, it is not a good idea to try and install one on your own. Proper water heater installation requires knowledge of local building codes and the ability to attach your unit safely to the appropriate heat source. And if you have your water heater installed by an installer such as Yes! Plumbing, your old heater will be hauled out and disposed of at no charge.
How Often Does My Water Heater Need to Be Serviced?
Just like any other piece of equipment in your home, your water heater will benefit from regular maintenance visits. Make sure to have a professional come out twice a year to inspect your system and make any necessary adjustments or repairs, and to inspect/test the safety features and flush any built up sediment. This type of service will help your water heater last longer and maintain its original energy efficiency throughout its life.
Different types of water heaters come with different recommendations for the frequency of service they require. In general, though, a traditional tank water heater should be serviced about twice a year.

Don Sadler shined on gridiron and in stick sport
Sep 30, 2018 | 6:00 AM

Don Sadler got the nickname that would stick with him for life while in middle school.
Sadler grew facial hair long before his peers, which made him stand out. Classmate and close friend Mark Duncan took note of the peach fuzz on Sadler's chin in seventh grade and started calling him Fuzzy. Good friends still do to this day.
It's a fitting story because Sadler always was a man among boys on the athletic field, first at Wroxeter School then later at the University of Maryland.
The Arnold native remains one of the legendary schoolboy athletes in Maryland history, having led tiny Wroxeter to great heights in both football and lacrosse. Sadler earned a lacrosse scholarship to Maryland and enjoyed a highly-decorated career, having the distinction of being the first Division I player to be named an All-American at two different positions.
Sadler, who will be inducted into the Anne Arundel County Sports Hall of Fame next month, played professional indoor lacrosse for the Washington Wave and enjoyed a lengthy coaching career at the recreation and high school level.
"I've been on cloud nine ever since I got the call," Sadler said of his impending induction into the county shrine on Oct. 17 at Michael's Eighth Avenue. "My phone has been blowing up with calls from old friends and former teammates. This tremendous honor has overwhelmed my thoughts and it's been a daily trip down memory lane."
US Lacrosse to honor 1965 Navy national championship team
US Lacrosse will present its Team of Distinction Award to the 1965 Navy team that went 12-0 and captured the USILA national championship.
Shortly after Major George Duncan, owner and headmaster, decided to enroll boys at Wroxeter-on-Severn School it began attracting some of the finest athletes in the area. Sadler was a big part of that wave and was a three-year letterman in both football and lacrosse – a hard-charging halfback on the gridiron and galloping midfielder in the stick sport.
As a sophomore, Sadler was the starting fullback and blocked for such standout runners as Greg Bethmann and Billy Burnett. Sadler took over as the primary ball-carrier as a junior and was simply spectacular, rushing for 1,056 yards and 17 touchdowns while leading Anne Arundel County in scoring with 131 points.
As a senior, Sadler amassed 1,233 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on a whopping 196 carries (an average of 22 per game) and again led the county in scoring with 124 points. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder accounted for 29 of Wroxeter's 47 points in a rout of St. Mary's in 1976 – scoring four touchdowns, adding a pair of two-point conversion runs and kicking an extra point for good measure.
"Donnie is one tough runner. He's been doing that all season," Wroxeter head coach Dick Duden Sr. told The Capital following the game.

Wroxeter captured the Tri-County League championship all three seasons Sadler was on varsity with such standouts as quarterback Marty Cloud, wing back Ken Kipke and defensive back Buddy Remenapp also leading the way. Of course, since the Mustangs only had 23 players on the roster, almost everybody went both ways.
Annapolis football achieved perfection, state championship in 1978
Legendary head coach Al Laramore led the 1978 Annapolis High football team to the Class AA state championship. Members of that fabled team celebrated their 40th anniversary this week.
Wroxeter went 8-1 when Sadler was a senior in 1976 with the lone loss coming to a powerful Georgetown Prep contingent that featured several Division I recruits. He concluded with a career record of 22-7 over three varsity seasons.
"Don was extremely hard-nosed and had good speed. He could run over or around you," said Cloud, recalling that Sadler had a 100-yard kickoff return for touchdown against Boys' Latin. "There were many games when Don carried the ball 30 or 35 times. He was a real workhorse and dished out as much punishment as he took."
Sadler was a two-time All-County (The Capital), All-Metro (The Sun) and All-State selection in football and received the Jim Rhodes Memorial Trophy as the finest player in Anne Arundel County as a senior.
Sadler will never forget being presented with the Rhodes Trophy during the annual Touchown Club of Annapolis football awards banquet. He posed for pictures with Navy honoree Jeff Sapp (Silver Helmet) and guest speaker Rocky Bleier of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"That was the first 'Wow' moment of my athletic career," Sadler said. "Being recognized at that banquet, which was always a big deal, was an incredible honor."
TWO-SPORT STANDOUT
It was more of the same in lacrosse with Sadler the quintessential do-it-all midfielder – dominating faceoffs, winning ground balls, playing tough defense, single-handedly clearing from end to end and directing the offense from up top.
"I never saw a better midfielder my whole career," said Remenapp, who wound up playing lacrosse with Cloud at UMBC. "Donnie could run all day and it seemed like he won every faceoff, got every ground ball. He could score when necessary, but preferred to set up teammates for goals."
Wroxeter only lost three games during Sadler's three-year varsity career, one of which was avenged in spectacular fashion. In 1975, Calvert Hall held the ball the entire game with star attackman Lance Kohler (Maryland) running around behind the cage to stall away time. That strategy implemented by head coach Mike Thomas succeeded in slowing the high-powered Mustangs and the Cardinals won 4-3.
Because of that result, Calvert Hall finished No. 1 in the Baltimore Sun media poll, one spot ahead of Wroxeter. Needless to say, Sadler and other returning players were none too happy about the Towson school's slow-down tactics.
Revenge was sweet the following year when Calvert Hall traveled to Arnold to play at "The Pit," the cramped field on the Wroxeter campus that was enclosed on all sides by hills. Sadler controlled the faceoffs, scored three goals and dished off two assists as Wroxeter blew out Calvert Hall, 19-5.
Many of the same characters that starred in football also played lacrosse with Cloud serving as the feeder on attack and Remenapp doing the dirty work between the lines. Other standout players on those teams coached by Dick Webster included defensemen Eric Mendelman and Howard Jones, attackmen Tim Ahmuty and Mike Burnett, midfielders Tom Lloyd and Mark Duncan as well as goaltender Rick Peret.
"We were a transition team that ran fastbreaks nonstop and scored a lot of goals," said Sadler, who was also a two-time All-County and All-Metro performer in lacrosse. "We played fast and loose and had an awful lot of fun."

Wroxeter was denied the No. 1 ranking in 1976 by a setback at Gilman and suffered its lone loss in 1977 by upset fashion at the hands of Annapolis and star attackman Syd Abernathy (Navy).
Dick Duden Sr. was a longtime assistant coach at the Naval Academy and used those connections to get his star player recruited. Sadler could have continued to play both sports at Navy, but decided he'd had enough of football.
"I was mostly an inside power runner and absorbed an awful lot of blows those last two seasons," Sadler admitted. "I knew the players would be bigger and stronger at the next level and just didn't think my body could take the pounding anymore."
Truth be told, Sadler had his heart set on playing lacrosse at Maryland for legendary head coach Clayton "Buddy" Beardmore. Sadler had attended Beardmore's camps since middle school and respected the Severna Park resident, who is also a member of the Anne Arundel County Sports Hall of Fame.
"I loved Maryland lacrosse and went to as many games as I could up in College Park," said Sadler, whose best friend (Duncan) lived next door to Beardmore. "Buddy knew all about me and had the inside track from the get-go."
STARRING AT TWO POSITIONS
Sadler, who grew up in the Mago Vista neighborhood of Arnold, wasn't too thrilled when Beardmore informed him a few days before the season opener that he would be sitting out his freshman season as a redshirt.
Maryland was absolutely loaded in 1978 with the likes of Bobby Boneillo, Pete Worstell, John Lamon, Bob Ott and Barry Mitchell on offense.
"I remember Buddy saying 'I know you're not going to like this now, but you'll thank me later.' In hindsight, Buddy was right. I would not have played much on that '78 team," Sadler said.
Sadler was able to practice with Maryland while redshirting then played games on weekends for McGarvey's Lacrosse Club alongside some of his idols such as Eddie Mullen, Frank Urso and Jeff Long.
Mitchell, Ott and Ron Martinello formed the first midfielder in 1979, but Sadler ran on the second line for a Maryland squad that lost to Johns Hopkins in the national championship game.
Beardmore pulled another surprise on Sadler in 1980 by switching the sophomore to close defense out of necessity. Maryland was a bit thin on that end of the field and Beardmore knew Sadler had the athleticism and competitive spirit to succeed with a long pole in his hands.
Sadler accepted the challenge and quickly became Maryland's top defender, earning honorable mention All-American honors. That was a disappointing season for the Terrapins, who stumbled to a 5-5 record and missed the playoffs in what would be Beardmore's final year at the helm.
Dino Mattessich took over as head coach the following year and returned Sadler to midfield, much to the player's delight. It didn't last long. Standout defenseman Curtis Rountree suffered a season-ending injury in the fifth game and Mattessich was forced to ask Sadler to pick up a long stick again in order to fill the void.
Sadler made his first start on close defense in 1981 against North Carolina and was assigned to cover Burnett, the ultra-talented attackman he knew quite well. Burnett had been a sophomore at Wroxeter when Sadler was a senior and had the utmost respect for the fellow Arnold native.
Burnett totaled two goals and four assists as North Carolina edged Maryland 13-12 in overtime at Byrd Stadium in College Park. However, neither of the goals came against Sadler as Burnett scored on extra man and off a stolen clearing pass.
"Fuzzy is such a great athlete he could play any position and do a great job," Burnett said afterward.
Sadler actually played two positions throughout that season as Mattessich found a way to utilize his offensive skills as well. Sadler ran to the sideline and traded his long pole for a short stick whenever Maryland had an extra man opportunity.
Against North Carolina, Sadler moved to midfield at crunch time in order to bolster the offense and assisted on the tying goal that forced overtime. Sadler served as the pivot man for the perimeter passing game and fed attackman Jim Wilkerson on the left side while facing right to fake out the defense.
"Fuzzy had this incredible no-look pass that worked like a charm every time," Burnett recalled. "He could put the ball right on a guy's stick while looking the other way. It was an amazing play and set up a lot of goals."
Remarkably, Sadler led Maryland with 34 assists that season while primarily playing defense, repeating as an honorable mention All-American despite sacrificing for the team. As a senior, Sadler played midfield exclusively and again led the Terps in assists while being named a second team All-American.
The M Club presented Sadler with the prestigious Charles P. McCormick Award as the student-athlete judged to have contributed the most to athletics during his senior year. The two-time team captain was a two-time recipient of the Edwin E. Powell Trophy, presented to the player who rendered the greatest service to lacrosse. He won the Deckman Silber Defenseman of the Year Award in 1981 and the William P. Cole III Midfielder of the Year Award in 1982.
Sadler served as an assistant at St. Mary's High under legendary head coach Jim Moorhead for six seasons and also assisted at Severn School and Severna Park High. He was a longtime head coach with Broadneck Area Youth Sports (BAYS).

Artist hopes gold toilet was stolen to 'give to the poor'
Artist hopes gold toilet was stolen to 'give to the poor'
(FILES) In this file photo taken on September 15, 2016, a fully functioning solid gold toilet, made by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, is going into public use at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. (Photo by William EDWARDS / AFP)
The artist whose solid gold toilet was stolen from Britain's Blenheim Palace said he hoped it had been taken in a "Robin Hood-inspired action", as police scrambled Sunday to locate it.
Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan told the New York Times that when he first heard news of Saturday's pre-dawn theft of his fully-functioning work "America", he thought it was a prank.
"Who's so stupid to steal a toilet? I had forgotten for a second that it was made out of gold," he said, adding: "I wish it was a prank."
Cattelan has described the 18-carat gold work, famously once offered on loan to US President Donald Trump, as "one-percent art for the 99 percent".
"I hope it still is. I want to be positive and think the robbery is a kind of Robin Hood-inspired action," he said, referring to the character of English folklore who stole from the rich to give to the poor.
Blenheim Palace chief executive Dominic Hare meanwhile revealed that the toilet, which was only put on display at the English stately home on Thursday, had been valued at around $5 to $6 million.
He told the BBC that the palace, the birthplace of wartime leader Winston Churchill and a UNESCO World Heritage site, had a sophisticated security system.
But he added: "Clearly we need to challenge ourselves on that."
He also said it was "not out of the question [that it] would be melted down" by the thieves.
The gang, who had at least two vehicles, left behind flooding that damaged the building.
Police arrested a 66-year-old man who remains in custody, and said Sunday they were still following a number of lines of enquiry.
The toilet was one of the star attractions in an exhibition of Cattelan's works, with visitors able to book three-minute time slots to use it.
When the work was on display at New York's Guggenheim museum, more than 100,000 people lined up to use the loo during the course of a year.

Q: particle accelerator in space I'm attempting to learn special relativity and i'm having trouble calculating velocity and momentum for each part of the system after interactions.
I wanted to know how fast a linear accelerator and particle would move with respect to the rest frame after a period of acceleration assuming the system is placed in free space. I had some trouble understanding how to apply acceleration to a particle at rest that would result in relativistic speeds so I took the energy approach. If we imagine the accelerator can accelerate a proton to 1TeV of kinetic energy we get the velocity for the proton given:
$$
KE = \frac{m_0c^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}
$$
solving for v:
$$
v = \sqrt{1- (\frac{m_0c^2}{KE})^2}c
$$
and the velocity for the accelerator given:
$$
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
$$
solving for v:
$$
v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}
$$
When I plugged in the numbers and double checked the energy I found that:
$$
\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2 = (\gamma(v_p) -1)m_0c^2
$$
where the left hand represents the kinetic energy of the accelerator and the right hand represents the kinetic energy of the proton. So at this point I felt pretty confident in my calculations for the velocities, but when I looked at the momentum I discovered that something was terribly wrong. The momentum of the accelerator $m_av_a$ definitely was not equal to the momentum of the proton $\gamma m_0v$.
Ultimately I wanted to look at inelastic collisions between relativistic and non-relativistic systems, but I wanted to be able to to do the calculations from rest to rest(which should be easy in a closed system) and i seem to be stumped. So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to be approaching this from another frame? How should I calculate momentum and velocity correctly.

A: It seems that problem is you're mixing non-relativistic and relativistic expressions.  For general collision problems in special relativity, you should use the relativistic expressions for energy $E$ and momentum $p$ for both objects;
$$
  E = \gamma m c^2, \qquad p = \gamma m v
$$
and then use conservation of relativistic energy and/or momentum depending  on the context.  In this case, the kinetic energy of a certain object is given.  Relativistically, kinetic energy is defined as total energy minus rest energy;
$$
  K = \gamma mc^2 - mc^2 = (\gamma-1)mc^2
$$
You can use this expression for the kinetic energy of the accelerated particle to obtain the speed of the accelerated particle.  Then, you can use conservation of relativistic momentum to determine the speed of the accelerator.  Let me know if you'd like more detail.
Cheers!

Memorable Manitobans: Magnus Eliason (1911-2005)
Municipal politician.
Born near Arnes on 21 June 1911 to Icelandic pioneer parents, he was greatly influenced by their liberal political views. He became involved in politics and was a founding member and organizer of the Co-operative Commonweath Foundation (CCF), forerunner of the New Democratic Party of Canada (NDP). During his career, he met and worked with J. S. Woodsworth, Tommy Douglas, and Stanley Knowles, all figures in the Canadian social democratic movement. After a number of unsuccessful campaigns for public office for both the CCF and the NDP, including the 1959 and 1962 provincial elections and 1963 federal election, Eliason was elected in 1968 to Winnipeg City Council as Councillor for Ward 2. Except for the years 1971 to 1974 and 1977 to 1980, he served on council until his retirement in 1989. Of his time in civic politics, Eliason was most satisfied by his work on low-income housing and the preservation of heritage buildings. In the latter capacity, he was given a Distinguished Service Award by Heritage Winnipeg. He died on 11 November 2005. His papers are held at the City of Winnipeg Archives.

Thank you to all who attended and supported our 2012 Families Matter Benefit and Celebration held on Thursday, November 29th. More than $180,000 was raised to support Friends of the Family's highly acclaimed family strengthening and support programs. The Beverly Hilton Hotel provided a gorgeous setting, all decked out for the holidays, as the more than 200 guests promenaded down a twinkle lit and tinsel bedecked walkway to enter the cocktail reception and bountiful silent auction.
One of the highlights of the evening's program was a true testament to the importance of the work that FOF does. The Family of the Year Award was presented to Wendy Santos in recognition of her outstanding achievements as a teen mother. Through the help of FOF's Young Moms program, Wendy underwent a life-changing transformation despite extraordinary challenges, including becoming pregnant at a very young age. From a place of vulnerability and pain, her self-worth was restored by an ever-enduring spirit and the help of FOF, and she managed to create a loving, nurturing home for her daughter while graduating from high school early and with honors. Wendy has gone on to attend college in pursuit of a career in criminal justice. Wendy's story was an inspiration to all who heard it. Wendy found a family at FOF, and through the agency's network of innovative specialized support and access to resources through the Young Moms program, as well as her own strength and perseverance, Wendy and her daughter are now thriving.
A truly delightful moment in the evening was the surprise presentation of the Lumina Award to FOF Executive Director, Susan Kaplan, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to family support and social justice in Southern California. Susan has been with Friends of the Family through most of its 40 years and has provided extraordinary leadership, touching thousands of lives, and making an impressive contribution to her field. Susan's gratitude and inexhaustible passion were evident as she accepted with an eloquent, impromptu speech.
Musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the 2012 Friends of the Family Glee Club composed of eleven talented girls from FOF's afterschool programs, and the inaugural Guardian Award honoring outstanding community leadership was presented to Veronica Arreguin, Principal of the Maclay Academy of Social Justice in Pacoima.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Event Committee and everyone who contributed to the event's success – sponsors, guests, volunteers, entertainers, speakers, and auction donors. All of the proceeds from this event provide crucial support for the work of Friends of the Family. On behalf of all the children and families who benefit from FOF services, we thank you!

Quite a few situations might make physicians request for the authorization of people to share with you the information as part of their health care files.
By far the most brilliant of them motives is homework for development of medical treatment and the growth of healing conditions. In this kind of scenarios, confirmed techniques needs to be implemented and statistics uncovered when the affected individuals have consented custom essay uk. The thought of sustaining clinical computer data non-public legally will get thought about a patients accurate rather than a privilege. However, various extensions get considered in applying this rule. The first case is that of family members. Medical conditions hitting people without the potential for stretching to relatives keep covered by the policies of confidentiality. However, physicians may have to reveal information in circumstances where illnesses can extend to other family members in case they are not informed.

In these cases, the goal of disclosure can be to provide protection to the involved family and friends. Breaches to those confidential conditions show up when medical doctors give off people material to 3 rd participants without the permission of these patients. There are certainly provisions for professional behavior from this health professionals. A person can sue a doctor or perhaps organization for attack of confidentiality, a shortage of reliability, and medical malpractice between other torts. However, additional provisions still allow the release of such information to specified institutions. This kind of normally include point out physical health disputes and requirements concerning judge requests. Within a take a look at the state, these disclosures are suitable for a common sound of our our society.

The requirement to be private remains perpetual to every physicians. This indicates that medical doctors are not able to disclose patients reports a long time after the people ended observing them and even when the patients passing. Therefore, patients ought to tell you totally responsive personal information to medical doctors for the best clinical offerings. Medical secrecy has the reassurance that medical professionals are not able to tell you this kind of facts and strategies for any thirdly individuals custom essay uk. He or she can only apply it treatment program functions. When a doctor demands to disclose this type of news, they have to find authorization from implicated individuals. There are circumstances when patients medical data can still be revealed to third parties, however. For instance , instances of judge requisitions and specifications by point out options.
For a second time, individuals whose settings could possibly damage most people about them sometimes have these health conditions breached. In addition to these, all medicinal experts really should bear specialized medical know-how technique even writemyessayuk.co.uk/custom-essay-uk with their patients have handed away from you.


Guess Danny Rand didn't pack such a powerful punch after all: Netflix has cancelled the Marvel superhero drama Iron Fist after two seasons, our sister site Deadline is reporting. The cancellation caps the series at a total of 23 episodes.
Iron Fist debuted last year on Netflix, and was quickly pummeled by a wave of negative reviews. Still, the streaming service renewed the series for a second season, which premiered last month. Jones also reprised his role as Danny in Netflix's Marvel crossover series The Defenders.
TVLine's handy Streaming TV Scorecard has been updated to reflect Iron Fist's cancellation.

John Young Sr.
May 7, 2017 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Advertising Supplement, Broadsheet Supplement, John Young Sr., Joseph Allardyce and Company, Pennsylvania Gazette, Richard Truman, William Dawson, Woodcut
What was advertised in a colonial American newspaper 250 years ago today?
Supplement to the Pennsylvania Gazette (May 7, 1767).
"SUPPLEMENT to the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE."
The masthead of the Pennsylvania Gazette declared that it "Contain[ed] the Freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestic." Readers expected a variety of news updates from Europe, especially England, the Caribbean and other locales in the Atlantic world, and neighboring colonies. The Pennsylvania Gazette also carried some local news, but when it came to local affairs word of mouth often scooped newspapers published only once a week.
Readers also expected to encounter a variety of advertising. The Pennsylvania Gazette, like its counterparts in the largest colonial port cities, attracted so much advertising that the printers frequently issued a half sheet supplement devoted exclusively to paid notices of various sorts. Doing so shifted the relative balance of news items and advertising, though sometimes the supplement resulted from the regular issue including more news than usual.
Such was not the case with the May 7, 1767, edition of the Pennsylvania Gazette and the accompanying Supplement. News items appeared on only two of the four pages of the standard issue. Instead of two pages, a half sheet, Hall and Sellers created a four-page supplement, an entire broadsheet filled entirely with advertising. This doubled the number of pages in the May 7 issue. It also underscored the newspaper's roles as a delivery mechanism for advertising. Paid notices covered three-quarters – six out of eight – pages.
Even with the supplement, space was at a premium. The paid notices were composed primarily of text with little variation in font size. Hall and Sellers incorporated few woodcuts into the advertisement: none of the houses or fleeing figures that accompanied real estate and runaway slave advertisements, respectively, and only one ship in a brief notice about "Accommodations for Passengers" aboard a ship departing "For KINGSTON, in JAMAICA," in three weeks. Four advertisers drew attention to their notices by including woodcuts specific to their businesses that they commissioned. William Dawson, cutler, presumably replicated his shop sign, "the Scythe and Sickle," as did dyers Joseph Allardyce and Company "at the Sign of the Blue Hand." John Young, Sr., a saddler, and Richard Truman, who made "Dutch FANS and SCREENS," each included images of the products they constructed.
Rather than examine a single advertisement published 250 years ago today, consider the entire issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette. Doing so underscores the importance of advertising in the dissemination of some of the most successful and widely circulated early American newspapers. It also demonstrates the extensive culture of consumption in port cities, practices of purchasing and display that filtered out to the provinces as merchants and shopkeepers distributed goods from their point of entry to customers throughout the colonies.
March 5, 2017 March 5, 2017 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Discount for Volume, John Young Jr., John Young Sr., Pennsylvania Chronicle, Pennsylvania Gazette, Saddler, Shop Sign, Woodcuts
Pennsylvania Gazette (March 5, 1767).
"Quilted or plain Carrying Saddles."
"JOHN YOUNG, senior, SADLER," operated a workshop "In Second-street, opposite the Baptist Meeting, and next Door to Mr. Alexander Huston's," in Philadelphia. Elsewhere in the city "JOHN YOUNG, jun. Saddler," ran his own shop "At the sign of the ENGLISH HUNTING SADDLE, at the corner of Market and Front-streets, and opposite the LONDON COFFEE-HOUSE." The younger Young likely learned his trade from the elder Young. Which one taught the other about the power of advertising? Was that also passed down from one generation to the next? Or did the senior Young eventually adopt marketing strategies on the recommendation of his son (or perhaps even to compete with him)?
Pennsylvania Chronicle (March 9, 1767).
Both Youngs advertised in newspapers printed in Philadelphia in early March 1767, the elder Young in the established Pennsylvania Gazette and the junior saddler in the new Pennsylvania Chronicle. Although both included woodcuts of saddles in their notices, the younger Young seems to have been the more sophisticated marketer when it came to mobilizing an image to identify his products. Note that Young Sr. merely listed directions to aid potential customers in finding his workshop, yet Young Jr. created a brand for his business that operated at "the sign of the ENGLISH HUNTING SADDLE." Score one for the younger Young's innovative marketing.
The saddlers offered almost identical appeals concerning quality, price, and fashion. Young Sr. stated that "he makes in the neatest and most Fashionable Manner, and sells at the most reasonable Rates" a variety of saddles and other riding equipment. In turn, Young Jr. announced that "he makes in the best and most fashionable manner, and sells at the most reasonable rates" a similar array of leather goods. Both indicated that they had sufficient inventory "ready made" that they could sell in quantity, though the elder saddler edged out his son by offering "proper Abatement to those who buy to sell again." In other words, retailers received a bulk discount. Score one for the elder Young's innovative pricing.
The two saddlers seemed to address slightly different clientele. Although both asserted they made saddles "in the most fashionable Manner," Young Jr. placed more emphasis on serving elite customers. He listed "GENTLEMEN'S English hunting" saddles first among his wares (and the format of the advertisement directed readers' eyes to the word "gentlemen") and underscored that he did his work "in the genteelest manner." On the other hand, Young Sr. thanked gentlemen and merchants for their previous patronage, but he included appreciation for "Shallopmen, and others" in the same sentence. One saddler traded on exclusivity for elite customers, while the other made his workshop more accessible to clients from all backgrounds. In the end, which marketing method yielded greater revenues by attracting more business? For now, that should be considered a draw.
Whether the Youngs competed or cooperated with each other, they devised advertisements that shared some of the most common appeals deployed in commercial notices printed in newspapers throughout the eighteenth century. Each other advanced unique and innovative marketing strategies, demonstrating that advertising in early America amounted to more than mere announcements that particular vendors sold certain goods.

On Wednesday, the first-year coach took the lessons she learned from her days under Bates and her own coaching experience with the Lower Hudson Volleyball Association to sweep her alma mater and former coach, 25-11, 25-22, 25-21, at home.
"It was very exciting and fun," Walker said of playing against Bates, whom she has regularly kept in contact with through the years. "(Our relationship) has only grown stronger since I've been coaching at the varsity level."
Walker, who coaches 14-year-olds for the LHVA, said that the age difference at the varsity level has been one of her biggest adjustments. While some younger players are still learning the game, to a degree, varsity players are "looking to achieve and grow as the season goes on," Walker said.
One player who has had no shortage of achievements this season is senior transfer Kaitlyn Nevin. The outside hitter, who came to Briarcliff from Virginia, recorded 16 kills in the sweep of the Bears' Class C foes.
"Her enthusiasm is out of this world," Walker said. "Her presence on the court brings the girls up, all-around."
Walker said that Nevin is a versatile player, who can shine as an outside hitter, the back row, or anywhere she puts her.
Walker described Westlake, a competitive team in Briarcliff's class, as a "very scrappy bunch."
"It was a challenging match," she said. "They bring they're all to the game."
Walker said that, being her first year, the transition was "a little difficult" since many of the players on Briarcliff (4-2) had played together and she didn't know the the dynamics that well. However, as the weeks wore on, Walker said "everything seems to be going great."
"They've opened up their family to me," she said. "I feel very welcome."

Sudden Jihad Syndrome in Manchester: Two Policemen Stabbed.
It has been noticed, in the course of the last few years & across several Western countries that have taken in large numbers of Muslims, that a previously law-abiding newly minted citizen will, apropos of nothing, launch a vicious assault upon an unsuspecting no-Muslim. Very often, this violence will be accompanied by screams of 'Allahu Akhbar!' meaning 'Allah is Greatest' (not 'God is Great', as most news sources would have you believe, 'Allah' is the name of a moon god different from Yahweh.)
Just this year, we have seen instances of this in Ilford, Bradford, Edmonton, Afula in Israel, Manchester & Moore in Oklahoma. In all these cases the violence is sudden, unprovoked, lethal in intent if not in actuality & directed at non-Muslims. It cannot be argued that Islam has nothing to do with this phenomenon, dubbed by those people aware of the viciousness of Islam as 'sudden jihad syndrome', regardless of whatever prior mental health difficulties the perpetrator may have been suffering. What a week it's been for trying to kill policemen, as another case of sudden jihad syndrome has surfaced in Manchester, whereby two police officers were nearly killed, as reported by the Manchester Evening News yesterday:
Stabbed police officer tells how he thought he would die at hands of knife-wielding thug
Pc Adnan Ali, was responding to a 'routine call' in Old Trafford when he and a colleague were viciously attacked with a knife
A police officer has revealed how he feared he was going to die when a knife-wielding thug stabbed him in the head in a frenzied murder bid.
Pc Adnan Ali, 28, was responding to a 'routine call' in Old Trafford when events took a shocking turn.
Police had been called to Stamford Street following a complaint that Dawan Ismail had assaulted a male neighbour.
But when they went to Ismail's flat, the 32-year-old went berserk with a knife, hacking at Pc Ali's head and knifing his colleague Pc Peter Goulding in the shoulder while shrieking 'Allahhu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is the Greatest'.
Ismail has now been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order by a court which heard he has significant mental health problems. He was found guilty of attempted murder, causing GBH with intent and assault in a trial earlier this year, following the attacks on April 30 last year.
PC Ali
PC Goulding
Pc Ali spoke of his ordeal after Thursday's sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, where Judge David Stockdale QC commended the officers for their courage in the line of duty.
Both needed hospital treatment, but fortunately escaped life-threatening injury.
"We had been told there was a dispute between two neighbours, and one had been punched in the face", Pc Ali said. "It was a routine call-out. We were not expecting any danger, but events escalated quickly. Ismail went from being the most calm and cooperative of people to attacking us with that knife. I was stabbed in the top of my head, cut to my temple, and cut to the side of my neck. I thought I wasn't going to come out alive.
"We had no idea he had a knife on him until it was in his hand - and by then it was too late and he was on top of me. It was a terrifying experience. I thought I was going to die, he had abnormal strength.
"You just don't expect that level of threat to be there, but it just goes to show you have always got to have it at the forefront of your mind. You face danger day in, day out as a police officer - and you can't ever forget that. If there hadn't been two of us there, things might have been completely different. He tried to kill me, and I was left drifting in and out of consciousness."
Pc Ali spent six months off work, is still receiving treatment for back and knee injuries sustained in the attack, suffers flashbacks and night terrors, and has undergone counselling. Despite this, he is delighted to be back at work.
"I couldn't wait to get back out there," he said.
"I joined GMP as a special constable nine years ago, and joined the regular police in 2009 - its all I've ever wanted to do", he added.
"I just want to carry on responding to incidents, serving the community and protecting the public. My first day back I felt a real sense of pride to be putting my uniform on. I joined the police to help people, and when I'm putting that uniform on I know I'm ready to help people again."

Prosecutors charged Michael Drejka, the man accused of killing Markeis McGlockton in a shooting that has reignited a debate around Florida's stand your ground law, with manslaughter Monday.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Drejka was taken into custody Monday morning. He is being booked into the Pinellas County Jail, where he will be held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Drejka, 47, has avoided arrest since he shot 28-year-old McGlockton on July 19 because of the controversial self-defense law that eliminated one's duty to retreat before resorting to force.
Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced July 20 that his agency was precluded from arresting Drejka because evidence showed it was "within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified," which provides immunity from arrest, the sheriff said. He forwarded the case Aug. 1 to the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's Office to make a final charging determination.
Our first clue that neither might apply is, of course, the fact that prosecutors filed manslaughter charges. The decision to charge manslaughter rather than second-degree murder is interesting too, though. The latter would require prosecutors to show that Drejka had a "depraved mind" without regard to the consequences to McGlockton's life, and also that Drejka acted with enmity toward McGlockton. Since the two of them got into a confrontation in the parking lot and Drejka shot McGlockton while he was reportedly backing away, prosecutors at least theoretically have the elements for the greater charge.
On the other hand, Drejka isn't getting that big of a break with the lower charge. For manslaughter, all prosecutors have to prove is that the killing was not accidental and does not fall into self-defense. Since he used a firearm in the homicide, manslaughter moves up to a first-degree felony, the same as second-degree murder. Either way, Drejka faces 30 years in prison, and the defense against manslaughter will rest entirely on Drejka's self-defense claim.
Drejka pulled up in his SUV seconds later, parking perpendicular to Jacobs, according to the woman's account. She said Drejka got out, walked to the back of Jacobs' car, looked at the license plate, and then went to the front, apparently looking for a handicapped sticker there. He appears to say something to Jacobs and points to two empty spaces nearby.
The video shows he then walked to Jacobs' window. He is speaking from about a foot (0.3 meters) away and gesturing with his hands. A man entering the store about 15 feet (5 meters) away stops to look and a woman glances over.
Assuming all of this is accurate, Drejka started the incident with his aggressive behavior. That alone may well disqualify him from a self-defense claim under subsection (2) of the statute, and a shove to the ground is not going to qualify as an exception in subsection (a). Regardless of "stand your ground," a self-defense claim only works when there is a rational and reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm, not a shoving match. The curiosity in this case isn't that Drejka's being charged. The curiosity is that it took almost four weeks for it to happen.
At any rate, this is not a Stand Your Ground case. Drejka has to first establish that he had a legitimate self-defense use of lethal force, which seems very unlikely with the facts that have been established so far.
Moderation: Pence managed to win a three-person debate, eh?


Tissue samples from the duodenal mucosa were collected during EGD from RRMS patients (n = 19) and HCs (n = 17). Simultaneously, we collected 6 to 7 ml of peripheral blood from the same individuals. Total lymphocytes were isolated from one to two fragments of intestinal tissue by collagenase digestion and from peripheral blood by Ficoll gradient. Mucosal immune cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were FACS-analyzed for immunological profiling of the following TH cell subsets: IL-17A+CD4+ TH17 cells, IFN-γ+CD4+ TH1 cells, and IL-22+ TH22 cells. Microbial DNA was extracted from frozen intestinal tissue samples (seven RRMS and seven HC samples), and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed on the Roche 454 platform. At the 2-year end point, we stratified RRMS patients in two cohorts on the basis of evidence of disease activity by clinical and MRI criteria. RRMS patients with no evidence of disease activity in the 2-year follow-up were classified as RRMS/NEDA (n = 9), whereas RRMS patients with evidence of disease activity were classified as RRMS/EDA (n = 10). SSCA, side scatter FACS parameter.

All individuals recruited for the study underwent EGD for diagnostic purposes. Exclusion criteria for both HCs and RRMS patients were treatment with antibiotics or corticosteroids in the 3 months before EGD and history of gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer, irritable bowel disease, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastric and colorectal cancers. All patients recruited in this study have a diagnosis of RRMS defined according to Poser's diagnostic criteria. None of the RRMS patients received corticosteroids in the 3 months before the EGD. The mean age of healthy individuals was slightly higher than that of RRMS patients, but our correlative analysis did not reveal any association between age and TH17 cell percentages and Prevotella/Streptococcus relative abundance. All samples analyzed were donated for research purposes, and each subject signed an informed consent. Data are means ± SD, unless otherwise indicated. RR-NEDA, RRMS/NEDA; RR-EDA, RRMS/EDA.
All patients recruited in this study have a diagnosis of RRMS defined according to Poser's diagnostic criteria.

RRMS patients were divided into two subgroups on the basis of evidence of disease activity at 2-year follow-up: RRMS patients with no evidence of disease activity in the 2-year follow-up were classified as NEDA (n = 9), whereas RRMS patients with evidence of disease activity were classified as EDA (n = 10). All RRMS patients recruited in this study were undergoing different therapeutic immunomodulatory regimens (IFN-β, GA, and fingolimod) at the time of EGD and intestinal tissue sample analysis.

Director and Chief Executive Officer
About Gold X Mining Corp.
Gold X Mining Corp. is a Canadian junior mining company developing the Toroparu Gold Project in Guyana, South America. Gold X has spent more than US$150 million on the Project to date to classify 7.35 million ounces of Measured and Indicated and 3.15 M-oz of Inferred Gold Resources, develop engineering studies for use in a feasibility study, and define a number of exploration targets around Toroparu on its 53,844 hectare (538 km2) 100% owned Upper Puruni Concession. Gold X has 52.7 M issued and outstanding common shares with more than 40% of the shares closely held by Insiders and the company's executive management team.
The Toroparu Project's latest Updated Mineral Resource Estimate Statement (UMRE), effective September 28, 2018, discloses a resource containing 7.35 M-oz gold at an average grade of 0.91 g/t and 128.95 M-ton Inferred Resource containing 3.15 M-oz Gold at average grade of 0.76 g/t. The UMRE is based on a total of 202,250m of resource definition drilling in 675 Diamond Drill Holes (DDH) through June 2019, with 195,215 m directed at the Toroparu Main and SE Zone deposits from 2006-2012, and 21,963 m directed at Sona Hill from 2015-2018. In the 2019 PEA, the database defines a 46.5 M-ton Measured Resource containing 1.48 M-oz of gold at an average grade of 0.99 g/t, a 206 M-ton Indicated Resource containing 5.873 M-oz of gold at an average grade of 0.89 g/t for a total 252.57 M-ton M&I (Measured & Indicated) resource containing 7.35 M-oz gold at an average grade of 0.91 g/t and 128.95 M-ton Inferred Resource containing 3.15 M-oz Gold at average grade of 0.76 g/t.
A Preliminary Economic Assessment study (Preliminary Economic Assessment Report, Toroparu Gold Project, Upper Puruni River Area, Guyana, dated July 18, 2019 completed by SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc.) (the "Technical Report") defined a 5.02 M-oz gold resource producing 188 thousand ounces of gold per year over a 24-year mine-life. The Technical Report is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on the Company's website (www.goldxmining.com).
The 2019 Technical Report is a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). A PEA is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
The PEA documentation of mining production quantities replaces the 2013 Prefeasibility Study (the "2013 PFS") Statement of Mineral Reserves1. The PEA is based on exploitation of measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources while the 2013 PFS is based on the exploitation of proven and probable mineral reserves. Inferred resources from the Mineral Resource Estimate comprise 5% of the resources used in the production schedule reported in the PEA. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The conclusions and results of the PEA replace the conclusions and results from the 2013 PFS.
1 A prefeasibility study was completed in May 2013 (NI 43-101 Technical Report, Prefeasibility Study, Toroparu Gold Project, Upper Puruni River Area, Guyana, dated May 24, 2013 by SRK Consulting (U.S.), Inc.), and is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Trump pardons former editor of Kushner-owned newspaper
Ken Kurson, a family friend of Donald Trump and editor of a New York newspaper once owned by the former U.S. president's son-in-law Jared Kushner, was among those pardoned by Trump in his final hours in office. Kurson, a political consultant and former speechwriter for Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, served as editor in chief of the Kushner-owned newspaper The Observer from 2013 until he stepped down in 2017. The Observer endorsed Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

What is the Green New Deal and how does Biden's climate plan compare?
Just weeks after the US election, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive members of "the squad" rallied outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters demanding president-elect Joe Biden embrace the Green New Deal. "We are all here today because of the movement ... because at the end of the day, dollars don't vote, people do," Representative Ocasio-Cortez said at the rally on 20 November. During the election campaign, Mr Biden said that he would not pursue a Green New Deal, and instead laid out his own $2trillion plan for addressing the climate crisis.

WASHINGTON — In his first hours as president, Joe Biden will aim to strike at the heart of President Donald Trump's policy legacy, signing a series of executive actions that will reverse his predecessor's orders on immigration, climate change and handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Biden on Wednesday planned to halt construction on Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall, end the ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries, rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization and revoke the approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, aides said. The new president will sign the orders almost immediately after taking the oath of office at the Capitol, pivoting quickly from his pared-down inauguration ceremony to enacting his agenda. The 15 executive actions are an attempt to essentially rewind the last four years of federal policies with striking speed. Only two recent presidents signed executive actions on their first day in office — and each signed just one. But Biden, facing the debilitating coronavirus pandemic, is intent on demonstrating a sense of urgency and competence that he argues has been missing under his predecessor. "We'll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter peril and significant possibilities — much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build and much to gain," Biden said after being sworn in as the nation's 46th president. Biden started Inauguration Day by signalling he would seek a return to the Washington traditions and normalcy his predecessor upended. As Trump, who declined to attend the inauguration, left from Washington in the morning, Biden and his family made their way to the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, the historic church where John F. Kennedy's funeral Mass was held. Biden was joined by Democratic and Republican congressional leaders for the service, a nod to the bipartisanship he hopes to inspire in the fight against the pandemic. Biden's top priority is getting a grip on the pandemic, which reached another grim milestone on Tuesday when the U.S. surpassed 400,000 virus deaths. In his first act as president, Biden paused his inaugural address and asked Americans to join him in a silent prayer for the victims of the nation's worst public health crisis in more than a century. Later he planned to sign an order putting in place a mask mandate on federal property and extending the federal eviction freeze. It will create a federal office to co-ordinate a national response to the virus and restore the White House's National Security Council directorate for global health security and defence. Biden's first actions reach well beyond the health crisis. He intends to order a review of all Trump regulations and executive actions that are deemed damaging to the environment or public health. He will order federal agencies to prioritize racial equity and review policies that reenforce systemic racism. He will revoke a Trump order that sought to exclude noncitizens from the census and will order federal employees to take an ethics pledge that commits them to upholding the independence of the Justice Department. His orders also seek to fortify the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA, a signature effort during the Obama administration that provided hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants protection from deportation and a pathway to citizenship. Susan Rice, Biden's incoming domestic policy adviser, said the new president would also revoke the just-issued report of Trump's "1776 Commission" to promote "patriotic education." These actions will be followed by dozens more in the next 10 days, aides said, as Biden looks to redirect the country without having to go through a Senate that Democrats control by the narrowest margin. Notably, the opening actions did not include immediate steps to rejoin the Iran nuclear accord, which Trump abandoned and Biden has pledged to reimplement. Jen Psaki, the incoming White House press secretary, said that while they were not included in Biden's Day One orders, the new president will in the coming days revoke the Pentagon's ban on military service by transgender Americans as well as the so-called Mexico City policy, which bans U.S. funding for international organizations that perform or refer women for abortion services. In another effort to signal a return to pre-Trump times, Psaki said she would hold a news briefing late Wednesday in a symbol of the administration's commitment to transparency. Trump's White House had all but abandoned the practice of briefing reporters daily. Biden will sign the actions during his first visit to the Oval Office in four years. Since then, presidential order actions were often marked by clumsy announcements and confusion. In their first days in office, Trump's team was forced to rewrite executive orders by court order and aides took days to figure out how to use the White House intercom to alert press about events. The repeatedly cancelled plans to hype new building programs — dubbed "Infrastructure week" — became a national punchline. Biden aides, by contrast, are aiming to demonstrate they are prepared for the job right out of the gate. Biden, in his inaugural address, pressed on the theme of unity and urged Americans to set aside politics at a difficult inflection point for the nation. "This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward," Biden said. Zeke Miller, The Associated Press

Rio's Olympic golf course finally gets grass
An illustrative view of the Olympic golf course (Rio 2016)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – The decision to put down grass on the contested 2016 Olympic golf course amid continued legal wrangling could prove to be a costly mistake, a Rio de Janeiro public prosecutor warned on Wednesday.
The public prosecutor's office is taking on the city government and the golf course developer in a lawsuit that contends environmental rules were breached in building the course, which had been billed as one of the highlights of the Rio Games.
Marcus Leal told The Associated Press that the two sides are in a 30-day negotiation period aimed at resolving their differences. But if they fail to reach an agreement, a judge would then rule on the matter. Should the judge end up siding with the public prosecutor's office, it could mean that the grass that's currently being laid might have to be ripped out, Leal said.
"The end result could be a large financial loss (for the developer)," Leal said. "Should our demands be approved, we will obviously require the restoration of the environment. Meaning what? More investments for the developer in removing the non-native vegetation – the grass. If he already invested a fortune in putting down the grass, he's going to have to pay another to remove it."
Leal said he hoped it wouldn't come to that, adding that he believed a deal was possible. But he placed the onus for any possible agreement squarely on the city and the developer, Fiori Emprendimentos.
Golf will be back at the Olympics after a 112-year absence, but the legal wrangling over the course has taken the gloss off the sport's return.
The course has been plagued by delays dating back almost five years. Much of the controversy arises because the course is being built in a nature reserve, situated amid some of the most expensive real estate in suburban Rio; an area known as Barra da Tijuca.
"In entering into any dialogue, we know that the possibility of a deal depends on yielding on one point or another," Leal said. "Our problem is finding a point on which to yield. "We are already at the outer limit of what we consider our margin of manoeuvr in this matter. I think that a deal, which I consider possible, will depend much more on the efforts of the city and of Fiori."
Leal and his team have asked the developer to move the course to allow for a wildlife corridor 400 metres (400-yards) wide that would link the two sides of the nature reserve. The city and the developers contend such changes are impossible and instead offered to move three of the holes and replace the native vegetation in other areas along the edges of the course.
Leal said both sides were carrying out technical studies to determine whether such a proposal would go far enough to preserve the area's native fauna.
Leal acknowledged how sensitive the case was, particularly given the time constraints.
An Olympic test event is slated to be held late in 2015 or early 2016. Any further delays on course construction could imperil the test event and again raise questions about Rio's preparations.
It will also underscore the fact that the city already has two courses, one of which has hosted major professional events. Many have suggested the new course has little to do with golf and more to do with real estate speculation.
"I think it's not an easy matter to decide," Leal said.

Q: remove last STDOUT line in Python I am trying to figure out how to suppress the display of user input on stdout.
raw_input() followed by any print statement preserves what the user typed in. getpass() does not show what the user typed, but it does preserve the "Password:" prompt.
To fix this, I would like to only remove the last line (which would remove the newline from the end of the line as well).

A: You might be able to do what you want with VT100 control codes.
Something like this maybe:
CURSOR_UP_ONE = '\x1b[1A'
ERASE_LINE = '\x1b[2K'
print(CURSOR_UP_ONE + ERASE_LINE)

A: Give this a try:
CURSOR_UP = '\033[F'
ERASE_LINE = '\033[K'
print(CURSOR_UP + ERASE_LINE)

A: I am not entirely sure if this works: maybe you could, just before calling raw_input(), replace sys.stdout with your self-defined file-like object which swallows the output. Right after that, you could set sys.stdout back to what it has been before.
Edit: looks like this approach does not work, because whatever the user types in stays on the screen.
Another option for console manipulation and direct keyboard control is curses.

A: If what you're doing is reading a password, use getpass.  There are a lot of subtle gotchas involved in reading a password safely; it's not code you want to write yourself.
If you are doing something less security-critical, disabling terminal echo can be done with the termios module.  (I wish the example code there wasn't an incomplete, unsafe implementation of getpass, sigh.  But it does show you how to turn off terminal echo.)
If you're on Windows, there is an equivalent but I don't know what it is, and it may not be exposed in the Python standard library.

A: The following code, based on the Python docs, uses the termios module and seems to do what you want (although it is not as compact as VT100 control codes):
def getpass(prompt="Password: "):
    import termios, sys
    fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
    old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
    new = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
    new[3] = new[3] & ~termios.ECHO
    try:
        termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, new)
        passwd = raw_input(prompt)
        print '\r          \r',
    finally:
        termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old)
    return passwd

p = getpass()

There are two tricky lines: one disables the echo, the other one erases your password prompt remaining at the first position of the line.

Q: Sharepoint API REST not valid expression when filtering I would filter results to get only pdf documents.
I make a search on all sharepoint site with this link
https://server/sites/section/sections2/_api/search/query?querytext=%274AAN81471%27

I get all results which are pdf files + parent directories.
Now I try to add a filter to only get paths that contains ".pdf" string to only get pdf documents. So after reading docs I tried this:
https://server/sites/section/sections2/_api/search/query?querytext=%274AAN81471%27$filter=path%20substringof%20%27pdf%27

I get this error :
<m:message xml:lang="en-US">
  The expression "'4AAN81471'$filter=path substringof 'pdf'" is not valid.
</m:message>

A: You can filter them right inside queryText itself.
Modify your endpoint as mentioned below. FileExtension is on ootb managed property available in SharePoint. Here, space acts as AND filter in KQL:
https://server/sites/section/sections2/_api/search/query?querytext='4AAN81471 FileExtension:pdf'
