MONSTER'S MASH: The Bears' defense has something to prove, too
Posted 5:56 PM, October 19, 2019, by Larry Hawley
LONDON, ENG - OCTOBER 06: Oakland Raiders Wide Receiver Trevor Davis (11) is brought down by the Chicago Bears defense during the game between the Chicago Bears and the Oakland Raiders on October 6th, 2019 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

LAKE FOREST – For the first four games of the 2019 season, there really wasn't much to complain about when it came to the defensive side of the ball for the Bears.
They might not have had as many turnovers as they would have liked in the first two games, but they'd done the majority of the work for the team in their 3-1 start to the season. But the loss in London stung the group a bit, considering they struggled to stop to the Raiders at times and finally yielded significant yardage on the ground.
Oakland got 169 yards rushing and jumped out to a 17-0 lead, then they got another score on a long drive in the fourth quarter to get them the win. It was a bad feeling for a prideful defensive unit to hold onto through the bye week, and while they enjoyed the break, they're eager for a little redemption against the Saints Sunday.
"That loss we had in Oakland with not us," said safety Ha Ha Clinton of the loss to the Raiders. "We've had a chip on our shoulder this entire bye week just thinking about – it was awesome to get away, get back to Florida for myself, just to reset. Get some sun, because it's freezing here now if you haven't noticed, and just to reset.
"Our mindset is still the same, that's to be dominant on defense. Let's create turnovers, capitalized, and get off the field on third down. That's the emphasis this week."
THE LEGEND OF THE "CHUCK BUCKS"
During his interview session, Clinton-Dix showed off a $100 dollar bill that featured the face of defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano.
They're called "Chuck Bucks," and the assistant acknowledged their existence during his Thursday news conference. He said that he started them a long time ago, joking that he "can't give out real money," yet wasn't willing to divulge what this cash was handed out for to his defenders.
"I just can't give you that secret," said Pagano with a grin on his face. "I'd be telling too much."
THE MATCH-UP TO WATCH ON THE OUTSIDE
If there is one player that has lived up to his expectations on the offense, it's the team's No. 1 wide receiver.
Allen Robinson has played well in his second season with the Bears, making 31 catches for 377 yards and two touchdowns, both against the Raiders on October 6th. He's made some impressive receptions with his leaping and diving ability and has kept a number of drives alive with his catches.
Robinson's reception in the final seconds against the Broncos got the Bears in range for Eddy Pineiro's game-winning field goal.
This week he'll face one of his biggest challenges of the season – a match-up against Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. He's got six pass break-ups this season in six games along with an interception while making 31 tackles, making him a major part of New Orleans' pass defense, which currently is allowing 237.7 yards per game.
"He's an athletic dude, and again, he's a bigger corner to have an athletic skillset like that," said Robinson of Lattimore.
So what is it that makes the cornerback so effective?
"He's just trying to win at the starting point. He trusts his technique, he trusts how he plays," said Robinson of Lattimore.
STAT OF THE WEEK – 4
The last two streaks for the Bears and the Saints in the series. New Orleans has won the last four games against Chicago, winning in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2017.
Before that, the Bears had beaten the Saints four-straight times, doing so in 2005, NFC Championship in January 2007 then in the following regular season, and 2008.

Are you contentious, easily troubled about trifles? "Oh, but no one who is a Christian ever is!" Paul says they are, he connects these things with carnality. Is there a truth in the Bible that instantly awakens petulance in you? That is a proof that you are yet carnal. If sanctification is being worked out, there is no trace of that spirit left.
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He does not ask you to put it right; He asks you to accept the light, and He will put it right. A child of the light confesses instantly and stands bared before God; a child of the darkness says – "Oh, I can explain that away." When once the light breaks and the conviction of wrong comes, be a child of the light, and confess, and God will deal with what is wrong; if you vindicate yourself, you prove yourself to be a child of the darkness.
What is the proof that carnality has gone? Never deceive yourself; when carnality is gone it is the most real thing imaginable. God will see that you have any number of opportunities to prove to yourself the marvel of His grace. The practical test is the only proof. "Why," you say, "if this had happened before, there would have been the spirit of resentment!" You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside.

Пили́повичі — село Бучанського району Київської області.

Населення — 1,38 тис. жителів.

На території села знаходиться ресторан на воді заміського типу «Старий пруд». Адреса: Київська обл., Бучанський район, с. Пилиповичи, вул. Шевченка, 1а. Під час Голодомору 1932-1933 років від голоду загинуло 34 людини.

Історія
Село Пилиповичі описане в Географічному словнику Королівства Польського та інших земель слов'янських, виданому 1881 року. Станом на 1880 рік у селі проживало 662 осіб, серед яких було 623 православних, 19 католиків та 20 юдеїв. Зазначено, що сільська церковна парафія закладена 1779 року.

З 20 липня по 31 грудня 1888 року в селі від епідемії дифтерії померло 100 дітей у віці до 14 років. Загалом того року у селі померло 126 осіб, а народилося — 56. Вже з січня 1889 року кількість смертей від цієї хвороби значно зменшилася, протягом січня — червня померло лише 7 дітей. Загалом того року в селі померло 36 осіб, а народилося — 62.

Станом на 1900 рік село Пилиповичи () належало до Гостомельської волості Київського повіту Київської губернії. Землями навколо села володів поміщик . У селі нараховувалося 234 подвір'я, проживало 1065 мешканців, серед яких 538 чоловіків та 527 жінок. У селі була православна церква, церковно-парафіяльна школа, водяний млин, вітряк, чотири бакалійні лавки. Мешканці села займалися хліборобством та лісозаготівлею.

Дмитрівська церква була зведена з дерева 1779 року та поновлена 1878 року коштом парафіян. До парафії також належав хутір Пороскотень. Церква до наших днів не збереглася.

Метричні книги, клірові відомості та сповідні розписи Свято-Димитрівської церкви села Пилиповичі зберігаються в Центральному державному історичному архіві України, м. Київ (ЦДІАК України).

Last year, I helped prototype a showerhead for infusing herbs (like lavender) into your shower water. Since then, a new team has re-formed, re-designed the product, and re-named it Infusey. Earlier this year, they launched a Kickstarter campaign. Sadly, they failed to fund.
Although I'm no longer part of the team, I'm impressed with what they've done. The new team used 3-D printing to test out new designs. After many iterations, you can tell the showerhead has come a long way since our original PVC prototype.
However, Infusey might just be a pipe dream at this point. The team isn't hasn't worked on the project very much since the Kickstarter ended. Though they may not have built a business out of scented shower adapters, I was glad to have been involved with the original team.

It's that time again, time for some April Fools' Day Easter Eggs, starting with Google Maps. This year, they decided to recreate the classic Snake game, and it's available now through the end of the week. You'll be able to enjoy this classic arcade game on their desktop or using the Google Maps' smartphone app, complete with famous cities around the world, including London, Cairo, Tokyo, and San Francisco. Players control the train on the screen using the arrow keys, and the goal is to pick up passengers without hitting the side of the game board. Read more for a video and a link directly to the game.
"To play, either direct your desktop browser to Google's specific Snake site or look for the Play Snake option in the Settings for Google Maps on your smartphone. In Google's version, each city also has a handful of landmarks you can pick up for extra points. In San Francisco, for instance, you can get bonus points for running your train over the Golden Gate Bridge, Ferry Building, and Palace of Fine Arts," reports LifeHacker. Try it out here.

Q: TypeError: book.isEqual is not a function A method defined in a Class is not recognized as a function when called in an other class.
file : models/book.model.ts
export class Book {
    constructor(public title: string, public author: string) {
    }

    isEqual (other: Book ): boolean {
    return (this === other);
    }
}

file : services/books.service.ts
import { Book } from '../models/book.model';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs/Subject';
import * as firebase from 'firebase';
import DataSnapshot = firebase.database.DataSnapshot;

export class BooksService {
    books = [new Book ('', '')]
    booksSubject = new Subject<Book[]>();

    constructor() {
    this.getBooks();
    }

    emitBooks() {
    this.booksSubject.next(this.books);
    }

    getBooks() {
    firebase.database().ref('/books')
        .on('value',
            (data: DataSnapshot) =>
            {
                this.books = data.val() ? data.val() : [];
                this.emitBooks(); /
            }
        );
    }

    indexOfBook (book: Book) {
    const bookIndex = this.books.findIndex(
        (a_book) => {return book.isEqual (a_book)}
    );
    return bookIndex;
    }

I would like to call 'book.isEqual' method of Book class in class BooksService.
book.isEqual is not recognized as a function, why ?

A: Firebase returns some data, but it's just an object: you need to create a Book instance out of that data with new Book().
firebase.database().ref('/books')
        .on('value',
            (data: DataSnapshot) =>
            {
                this.books = data.val() ? data.val().map(book => new Book(book[0], book[1])) : [];
                this.emitBooks();
            }
        );
    }

Since I don't know what Firebase returns in val(), this is just an example use assuming the data contains an array of [author, title] tuples, but you get the idea. Perhaps it's actually new Book(book.author, book.title)...

A: Creating lots of new class instances, which the current code requires, is laborious and probably unnecessary.
Here is an alternative that uses interfaces instead (which are not emitted to JavaScript at all) and a much simplified index search.
export interface Book {
    title: string;
    author: string;
}

and then in the service, a small change to cast your return as a Book[]:
this.books = data.val() ? (data.val() as Book[]) : [];

Then you can use a helper function and forego the class entirely. Before, it used a mix of arrow functions and braced return statements, and the isEqual helper was unnecessary, as the whole thing can be reduced to:
indexOfBook = (needle: Book) => this.books.findIndex(
    book => book.author == needle.author && book.title == needle.title
);

A: I have created this stackblitz project https://stackblitz.com/edit/firebase-stackoverflow, it works fine, you can check it

Billy and I set out on a cross country journey, from Washington state to South Carolina, from August 1st through September 1st, 2016. Along the way we visited with friends and worked on portable art booklets, inspired by "The Third Hand Painting". The third hand has to do with the mysterious way in which intuition comes in and changes or adds to a piece of art an artist may be working. As artists, we have no control over the third hand, it simply inspires us while making art, sometimes in the most surprising ways.
Seven plus artists have volunteered to particpate in this journey of exploration of the intuitive process where the "third hand" comes into play in their art. Seven hand bound booklets (7.5"x10") were mailed to seven different artists. Upon receipt of their booklet, each artist designs the covers and two inner pages from the place that most interests them when considering what the third hand is for them. Once these pages are completed it is mailed to the next artist on their list who will create art on two more pages of which they are inspired by the original artist's interpretation of the "third hand". Artists have one month to work on the 2 pages in the booklet after they receive it and mail it to the next artist on their list who will design the subsequent 2 pages.This continues until all 7 booklets are completed, which may take 7 plus months.
As the art is completed it is photographed and emailed to me and I will post it here on this blog.
The photos of the first booklet have been received by Bernadette. Her cover celebrates how the earth inspires her.


November 20, 2004 was a cold day. Raining since morning what with a typhoon lashing the eastern part of Luzon. I hardly got any cooking done with the work still going on in the new kitchen. Meanwhile, the old kitchen has been totally demolished. The old cooking range is somewhere between the living room area and where the old kitchen used to be. While waiting for the paint of the new kitchen cabinets to dry, we have dish racks, cooking pans, ovenware and all sorts of bottles and jars on the book shelves, on the living room floor, on the dining table… in short, it's a total mess. Definitely not a good subject for photography.
Anyway, I was so pressed for time to prepare lunch that I decided to make some fried rice out of cold cooked rice (from last night), hotdogs, salami and eggs. Just enough for my daughters. I figured I'd have a sandwich. Then I got so engrossed with deleting trackback spam in The Sassy Lawyer's Journal that I forgot I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. Until I heard a youthful male voice calling from the street out front: "Baluuuttt, penooooyyy…" I got up, grabbed some bills from the desk and called after the little vendors.
Scorching hot balut (hardboiled duck eggs with a partially developed 16- to 18-day old duck embryo inside) and penoy (an infertile incubated duck egg or with dead embryo) for a mid-afternoon snack for my then 12-year-old daughter (her sister was taking a nap) and a late lunch for me. You can see the partially developed duck embryo covered in egg white in the balut photo (left). I cracked the shell before taking the photo to be able to identify the parts. The veins are visible from the interior of the shell. The yolk is divided by the white which contains the embryo. The round part at the bottom is what we call bato (rock), a hard white inedible part of the balut.
This penoy is what we used to call penoy na may sabaw (literally, soupy penoy) when we were kids because, unlike ordinary harboiled eggs, this kind of penoy is more like custard. In some instances, such as the one in the photo, the center has the consistency of the yolk of a hard-boiled egg while around it is the custard-like part. According to the young vendor, it is (now) called higupin, literally, for sipping.
Are balut and penoy traditionally sold by young vendors? No, balut and penoy vendors come in all shapes, sizes and ages. And, sometimes, they have more than eggs in their baskets.

Turd by Ilan Herman
Maybe it was the spinach salad mixing with her four daily apples, or maybe the Grande whole milk cappuccino in tandem with large portions of raisins and strawberries, but Julia's morning bowel movement, most always generous and smooth, was more generous, and smoother, than usual. It lasted only four or five seconds but she felt considerably lighter after completion.
As she always did, she glanced to evaluate the result. Health magazines insisted that much could be concluded about one's health from one's excrement. The main objective, the health experts said, was that the specimen be long and thick and easily find its way out of the body. They also advocated that a healthy crap didn't smell bad, really shouldn't smell at all, and that if it did, that was a sign of the body ridding itself of toxins.
Julia gasped in disbelief: the bowel movement consisted of one turd, about a foot long, maybe longer, and more than an inch in diameter. No aroma wafted from the toilet. The turd, like a dormant snake, curled at the bottom of the bowl, but part of it floated on the surface. This, according to the experts, was a good sign. A floating turd meant that her body was properly hydrated, that she was drinking enough fluids. The experts also commented that the ideal bowel movement should be light-brown, as that hinted at the body's proper balance of minerals.
Julia noticed with pride that the turd was indeed light-brown, and then chuckled with satisfaction. All indicators confirmed that she'd laid the perfect turd, or if perfection, elusive as it is, was unattainable, the results still pointed to an extraordinary achievement. Julia strongly believed that one's gateway to a balanced emotional and spiritual life lay in a good night's sleep followed by an effortless and abundant morning expulsion of bodily garbage. Deny a person either of the two, she claimed, and see the joy trickle away from their eyes. A tired or constipated human being is prone to moodiness, lethargy, anxiety, maybe even clinical depression. She confessed to herself that the turd's great length and thickness probably had to do with her own physical attributes. Julia was five foot eight, and weighed one hundred seventy-five pounds. Far from fat, by American standards, she was nonetheless considered big-boned, with healthy thighs and a large bottom. She ate well, of course, and exercised thrice a week; but the extra thirty pounds refused to shed. Her good friend, Amanda, said that Julia gave too much credence to her physical imperfections, that she needed to learn to accept herself and take care to be beautiful on the inside. Julia believed Amanda was sincere in trying to help, but she also knew that it was easy for Amanda,—petite and slender,—to be somewhat superficial about Julia's weight struggles.
Feeling proud in sophomoric ways, Julia wiped, and then bade farewell to the turd and flushed the toilet. The water whirled and drained, but the turd did not follow. It writhed for a second and then settled at the bottom of the bowl. She waited for the toilet reservoir to fill up, and then flushed again, but the turd had a mind of its own and ignored the sucking sewer.
The toilet reservoir chugged to fill up again and Julia wondered how to deal with the turd when the phone rang. She rushed to answer the call.
"How's my queen today?" said the caller.
"Hi Bobby, I'm fine. I was hoping you were the bank calling back about the loan."
Bobby, flamboyant and very gay, was her most trusted confidante. They'd known each other ten years and, many times, had found solace and camaraderie in sharing with one another the pitfalls of life and romance.
"Jerry left me, again," Bobby said. "He thinks he's so macho but he's not."
"I'm sorry," Julia said. "He'll come back. He always does."
"Well I'm done with him," Bobby whined. "I'm not taking him back."
Julia imagined him sitting on his maroon living room couch, thin and pale arms crossed in helpless anger.
"That's what you always say," she said with love, "but you don't really mean it."
"This time I do," Bobby huffed. "He's such a turd."
Julia giggled.
"What was that?" he asked.
"That was a coy giggle. I know one when I hear one."
Momentary silence ensued while Julia considered her response. They'd had plenty of late night conversations laced with locker room humor and descriptive references to bodily fluids. Most of the references came from Bobby, who had a very busy sexlife, but she'd been a willing listener and had contributed a few morsels of her own.
"I'm waiting," Bobby said in his lilting nag. "You know I'll badger you until you divulge, so you better spare both of us the drama."
So Julia told him about her glorious and odorless turd, how long and round it was, how light in weight and color, and how it refused to flush.
Bobby snickered like a little boy; Julia laughed, delighted in her ornery ways. "I probably broke the Guinness world record. Do you think they have one for the longest turd?"
"Probably not," Bobby said, "but they should. Can you excavate it? You could put it in the freezer so it hardens."
"But it'll thaw when I take it out and probably crumble."
"I guess you're right," Bobby said. "So what are you gonna do with it?"
"I don't know, flush it I suppose."
"I guess," he said…and silence lingered. Then he said, "If you chop it up it'll flush for sure."
"That's gross," Julia said. "Besides, what would I chop it with?"
Holding the receiver up to her ear, Julia was now in the bathroom. The turd had taken on water and had grown plumper and lay curled up like a satisfied python digesting a mouse. "I'm gonna try flushing one more time."
"You go girl," Bobby cheered on.
She pushed down on the handle. The whirlpool rushed around the slippery bowl and gained speed. The turd unraveled and, like the aforementioned python, gracefully slid into the dark tunnel and disappeared into its nest.
"It's gone," Julia whispered, like she stood graveside and eulogized a friend.
"Don't be sad," Bobby said. "I promise there'll be many more."

October 19, 2017 - Arlington Industries Inc. and Bridgeport Fittings Inc. have reached an agreement that settles all litigation currently pending between the companies.
In connection with this settlement, Arlington has received payment of $1.37 million for the judgment in case No. 3:06-cv-1105 in the Middle District of Pennsylvania against Bridgeport's 3838ASP and 3838SP Whipper-Snap Duplex connectors.
Bridgeport has dismissed its appeal from that judgment and Arlington has dismissed its cross-appeal seeking attorney's fees.
This settlement also resolves Arlington's contempt allegations against Bridgeport in case No. 3:02-cv-00134 in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
All other terms of the parties' settlement are confidential.
Arlington says this recent payment brings its recovery for violations of its Snap-Tite and Snap2It patents to $12 million.

Q: Select text in ::before or ::after pseudo-element Look this very simple code
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hello

Bye

Css adds ¨Before -" at the start of every
 and renders like this

If you use your mouse to select the text (for copy paste) you can select the original text, but not the Before or Aftter text added by css.

I have a very specific requirement where I need to allow users to select with the mosue the Before text. How would you do it?

A: If users need to select the generated text, it should be considered content (and in the HTML), not presentation (and hidden in the CSS).
Don't use ::before or ::after, use HTML.
You could use JavaScript to insert it (if that would help):
var text = document.createTextNode('Before - ');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.getElementsByTagName('p'), function (p) {
    p.insertBefore(text.cloneNode(), p.firstChild);
});

This way the text itself is present in the DOM, unlike generated content from CSS.

A: This cannot be done within an HTML page, but as a hack, if you need to copy/paste pseudo elements, you can export the page to PDF and copy from it. In Chrome, for example, you can copy page's content from print preview.

A: You can't, the before and after pseudo classes are not meant to be used for that purpose.


Despite Roma becoming one of 2018's most celebrated films and garnering 10 Academy Award nominations, one of the movie's pivotal stars may not be able to attend the awards show.
Jorge Antonio Guerrero, who plays Fermin, the love interest of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), revealed in a new interview that he has been denied entry into the U.S. three times, ET has learned.
Armed with a letter from one of the film's producers, Guerrero went to the U.S. Embassy in a second effort to be able to visit the U.S.
Netflix and the film's crew are now working to get Guerrero to the U.S.
His co-star, Aparicio, was among the nominees for the film, landing a Best Actress nomination. As Cleo, she portrays a live-in maid for a middle-class family in Mexico City in the early '70s. As Cuaron explained to ET in December, the project is a semi-autobiographical depiction of his childhood.
He also expressed how important the actress is to the film's narrative.
While speaking with Quien, Guerrero echoed Cuaron's sentiments on Aparicio's moving performance, while remaining determined to be a part of the awards show.

Q: Recurring jobs with Hangfire and Asp.Net Core I have serivce which has some method which I would like to be Recurring job.
I know that I can use hangfire in my Startup.cs e.g:
RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate(() => Console.WriteLine("I'm a recurring job"), Cron.Minutely);

But the question is how can I use my services here? Should I use somehow here (dependency injection ?) or in the other place?
Maybe should I put some cron values to the appsettings.json ?

A: Here is how you can call service for hangfire from startup file. In my case, I have IMediator as constructor of my service. You may have one or more other which you can add in AddTransient.
public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddRazorPages()
            .AddRazorRuntimeCompilation()
            .AddMvcOptions(options => options.EnableEndpointRouting = false);

         serviceCollection.AddTransient<INotificationSchedulerService>
        (
           serviceProvider => new NotificationSchedulerService
           (
               serviceProvider.GetService<IMediator>()
           )
        );

          services.AddHangfire(x => x.UseSqlServerStorage("Server=SQLEx\\SQLSERVER2019;Database=Tempdatabase;User ID=sa;Password=xuz@de5234;MultipleActiveResultsets=true"));
        services.AddHangfireServer();
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder applicationBuilder, IWebHostEnvironment hostEnvironment)
    {
         RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate<INotificationSchedulerService>(x => x.ScheduleLikeNotifications(),"*/2 * * * *");
    }
}

A: Do you mean something like this?
RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate<IAlertService>(x =>
    x.SendAlerts(emailSettings, link), Cron.MinuteInterval(1));

A: I am a year late to this party, and stumbled across this question whilst looking for something Hangfire related, figured I would answer as there is no answer to the question being asked.
You absolutely can use Dependency Injection in Hangfire without having to rely on default constructors or instantiating within your class.
You can inherit from JobActivator and override the ActivateJob(Type) method, while your custom implementation uses the IServiceProvider.
public class DependencyJobActivator : JobActivator
{
    private readonly IServiceProvider _serviceProvider;

    public DependencyJobActivator(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        _serviceProvider = serviceProvider;
    }

    public override object ActivateJob(Type jobType) {
        return _serviceProvider.GetService(jobType);
    }
}

Then simply tell Hangfire to use your custom implementation in the Startup class' Configure method.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
    app.UseHangfireDashboard();
    app.UseHangfireServer(new BackgroundJobServerOptions { Activator = new DependencyJobActivator(serviceProvider) });
    app.UseMvc();
}

Read more here on the Hangfire Documentation

A: The downside of hangfire I fet was the complexity in the setting it up. It needs few extra tables to set up  for it to work. I hope you have the tables created for it in your database. Pls see this how to get the recurring jobs.- HangFire recurring task data. I feel it is very good for queuing jobs or for background tasks but for recurring jobs,
I would suggest to go for Quartz.net. It needs no such setting up and very easy to integrate. No problems so far and it has good CRON support. Example - https://www.mikesdotnetting.com/article/254/scheduled-tasks-in-asp-net-with-quartz-net


A lint roller is wonderful and a needle and thread for uniform emergencies which usually occur the night before an inspection when all of the stores are closed. My son just left from Texas to Kuwait and all his buddies could use a package. Bass has also ghostwritten various fiction-based novels. Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, cotton swabs, shaving lotion, disposable razors, shampoo, individually packaged tissues. Short answer - nope, no care packages in boot camp, just letters. Hand-held or battery-operated games, along with solitaire and checkers, may ease the mind. That way, if the package breaks open and the contents scatter during shipping, mail handlers will know what to repack.
Before you pull out your wallet and start spending your hard-earned cash, on care package items for your deployed loved one, spend a few minutes going over this list of prohibited items. It really got me thinking about the product my daughter recently invented, and how it may help military families. I typically send a few in each care package. Just be sure to pack these in an airtight container. Think of toiletries used every day such as a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, toilet paper and even hair ties and rubber bands. Article by Ryan Guina is the founder and editor of The Military Wallet. Office Box lobby in the authorized, clear brochure holder that you received with the first shipment.
As always, be sure to! The Department of the Navy and the DoD cannot support creative and well-intentioned efforts that defeat force protection measures. Little things like that will make them feel close to you, even if it's only for a second. Airtight plastic containers are also useful for keeping homemade treats handy. Soap has to be bagged or it ruins the taste of the food items. Ballistic Sunglasses Sunglasses are important when out in the field, but make sure to get some that are Mil Spec and Ballistic. If you know of small children, have them pen letters and send those too - always gives me the warm fuzzies.
The class is off-base and also gives him a chance to get to know people other than those in the Navy. And if you've got the bug and would like to do more, please consider joining. Any help is greatly appreciated, and for any servicemen reading, so is your service. If your soldier is stationed in a place with a proper recreation area, why not send him or her a video game or two? Just please keep them virus free. If your service member needs the essentials but you want to save your care packages for special items, you can purchase a gift certificate to the exchange. To create this article, 30 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time.
Pictures of normal things are also welcome, or of family members, friends, etc. It really makes you feel good. You must double-bag individual liquid and gel items. Granola bars or energy bars are useful when they don't have time for a full meal. Also, if you are sending a care package for the holidays, make sure know the current so that it gets there in time. Throw in a journal to keep track of their thoughts and the places they've been, while you keep a similar journal at home. We all appreciate what you and your crew of men, women, and children have been doing for, not only us, but for everyone throughout the armed services.
Use the 4 or 7 size box. It was a very uplifting gift in these times. God Bless you, and please keep up with the things you are doing. Books and movies are good too, as well as hobby stuff, depending on what their boat hobbies are. The program, Gifts from the Homefront, allows you to buy your service member a gift certificate good at any military exchange in the world. Also sending him some power bars and beef jerky because he doesn't always get to eat dinner because of study time.
Do not think in terms of preparing an individual box of assorted goods for individual soldiers. Troops, use the form to request Care Packages. Unlike books, which take a certain sort of person to truly enjoy them, almost anyone can get into a movie. Foam footballs and basketballs, Frisbees, Hacky Sacks, playing cards, yo-yos. Packages cannot be larger than 108 inches in total circumference total width all the way around plus total length all the way around , but your service member's unit may have its own restrictions on the weight and size of packages. I also send him teas because he doesn't like coffee.
But what is the best stuff to put in a care package? Write letters and hide them in magazines or books. When in doubt, ask your loved one. Pens, pencils, envelopes, stamps and paper are always appreciated for keeping in touch. If you make them yourself, you can mold them into shapes or spell out a message using cookie cutters. Be sure you have the unit name, including the battalion, ship, squadron, platoon, etc. But don't try to sneak anything else into the package. Sure, you can stay in for four years or twenty just like most other jobs or careers, but the unique atmosphere in which servicemen and women find themselves, the singular demands of the military lifestyle, and the utter metamorphosis through which a civilian becomes a member of the armed services ensure that a military hitch will transform one's life forever.
When I use to receive care packages from my friends and family and even strangers while deployed I received things like, toilet paper, razors, deck of cards, shaving cream, bath wash, etc. It took about two months for me to get it. Licorice, taffy, gummy worms, and hard candies keep well and give sailors something to look forward to. Care Packages For Soldiers: A Guide On What To Send Whether you or your loved one is a soldier, sailor, Marine, or a member of another branch of service altogether, it's not up for debate: Being a member of the military is one of the hardest jobs there is. These can be good to share with any fellow sailors as well.

Q: How to exit from multiple bash scripts I'm having a bash script that is calling multiple bash scripts.
e.g.:
script1.sh
source script_data.sh
bash script2.sh
variables
code ...

script2.sh
source script_new.sh
...
bash script3.sh
varialbles ...
code ...

script_data.sh
someVariable=1
functions() ...
...

script3.sh
code ...
variables ...
exit 0

The problem is that when I what to exit from script3 with exit 0 the code will go to script2.sh
How can I exit from the entire process?
Regards,

A: Replace bash script2.sh with source script2.sh and an exit in script2.sh is in the same process as script1.sh.
Check your code before choosing this solution. After changing the code the changes in the environment in script2.sh are also made in the environment of script1.sh.

A: I am a personal fan of using functions. Redefine your additional bash scripts as bash functions. I refer to this guide all the time for bash style questions.
This wont work: source Script_1.sh
Script_1.sh
echo "Do stuff" # Some code here
source Script_2.sh
echo "Do more stuff" # Some more code here

Script_2.sh
echo "Do stuff" # Some code here
exit 0

This will work:  source New_Script_1.sh
New_Script_1.sh
Function_2() {
    echo "Do stuff" # Some code here
    return 0
}

echo "Do stuff" # Some code here
Function_2
echo "Do more stuff" # Some more code here

The functionality of what was once Scrpit_2.sh now exists in Function_2. You don't have to return 0 at the end, you could any number up to 8bits (0-255) if you want to. The return value from a bash function will be stored in the environment-variable $? and be accessible only immediately after the function call(the line after).

Burning Shadows – Beneath The Ruins Review
By kanismaximus on 9 December 2019 • ( 0 )
Score 7.5/10
Genre Heavy Metal
Country USA (Maryland)
Runtime 16:08
Release Date 6 December 2019
Record Label Rafchild
Marylandian (Marylandish? Marylandite? Fuck it, whatever.) heavy metal vets Burning Shadows have released four EPs and three full-lengths since their beginning in 2000. Their sound has been built on a beefy power-laden foundation and adorned with epic vocals and choruses. However, their latest effort, Beneath the Ruins, sees a change from their previous material, trading a lot of the power metal elements for more of a thrashy approach. Nevertheless, the riffs are still huge and crunchy and the band is solid, so the change of pace isn't bad at all.
The most prominent way in which Beneath the Ruins separates itself from most other US heavy metal albums is with its production quality. Where bands like Visigoth and Haunt keep things "authentically" lo-fi, this album is full of contrast and sharpness, retaining a heavy metal feel musically rather than relying on poor mastering.
The EP begins with a strong-and-steady banger in 'Blacken the Sky'. The energy level picks up more for 'The Grey Company (Paths of the Dead)', which also has the best chorus, and continues to rise into the final two tracks. The driving force behind these four tracks is the imposing massiveness of the rhythm section, but the solos and smaller details, such as some growled sections and other background guitar parts, keep the whole thing fresh and exciting. There are also three bonus tracks to enjoy (if you decide to purchase the album), of which two are live versions. The actual new bonus track, 'The Shadow from the Steeple', is my favourite on the entire EP. It's dynamic and hearkens a to a more classic sound, and it's an all-around blast.
If there's one area Beneath the Ruins suffers, it's in the vocal melodies. Tom Davy's throaty, bellowing vocals are great, but there's not a whole lot of variability in the way the melodies are structured. In a live setting, for this king of music, that isn't really a big deal, but it's things like that that usually pull people in to listen to again regularly.
Beneath the Ruins is a worthwhile listen for anyone who likes darker, aggressive heavy metal. It has that pounding, chugging drive that Burning Shadows does so well and, despite not having the ammunition to blow any minds, you can still crank it to blow down the fucking walls.

Q: libnl: segfault when setting interface IPv6 address I'm trying to set the IPv6 address of an interface, using libnl.
Going through the documentation and other resources, this is basically what I'm trying to do:
static int set_ipv6(const char *if_name, const char *ipv6) {

    struct rtnl_link *link = NULL;
    struct nl_sock *sk = NULL;
    struct rtnl_addr *ipv6_addr = NULL;
    struct nl_addr* lo_ipv6_addr = NULL;
    struct nl_cache *link_cache = NULL;

    int err = 0;
    int ifindex = 0;

    sk = nl_socket_alloc();
    if ((err = nl_connect(sk, NETLINK_ROUTE)) < 0) {
        nl_perror(err, "nl_connect");
        return err;
    }

    ipv6_addr = rtnl_addr_alloc();
    if ((err = nl_addr_parse(ipv6, AF_INET6, &lo_ipv6_addr)) < 0) {
        nl_perror(err, "nl_addr_parse");
        return err;
    }

    printf("This part segfaults\n");
    if((err = rtnl_addr_set_local(ipv6_addr, lo_ipv6_addr)) < 0) {
        nl_perror(err, "rtnl_addr_set_local");
        return err;
    }

    if ((err = rtnl_link_alloc_cache(sk, AF_UNSPEC, &link_cache)) < 0) {
        nl_perror(err, "rtnl_link_alloc_cache");
        return err;
    }

    if((link = rtnl_link_get_by_name(link_cache, if_name)) == NULL) {
        return -1;
    }

    if((ifindex = rtnl_link_get_ifindex(link)) == 0) {
        fprintf(stderr,"index of %s not set\n", if_name);
        return -1;
    }

    rtnl_addr_set_ifindex(ipv6_addr, ifindex);

    rtnl_addr_set_link(ipv6_addr, link);

    if ((err = rtnl_addr_add(sk, ipv6_addr, 0)) < 0) {
        nl_perror(err, "rtnl_addr_add");
        return err;
    }

    nl_addr_put(lo_ipv6_addr);

    rtnl_addr_put(ipv6_addr);

    nl_cache_free(link_cache);

    nl_socket_free(sk);

    rtnl_link_put(link);

    return 0;
}

Obviously, I call this code with something like:
set_ipv6("veth1", "fc00:dead:cafe:1::2");

Where veth1 is a valid veth device.
However, for some odd reason, this code seems to segfault as soon as rtnl_addr_set_local is called, as it attempts to dereference an invalid address in the rdi register, when setting up the stack.
Any ideas what might be wrong or could this possibly be a bug in libnl?
Thanks!

A: Figured it out, it seems I was missing an include directive, more specifically - the addr.h header.
#include <netlink/route/addr.h>

I've been working with PhpStorm for quite some time now. And never had any problems with it.
However, I had to do something with FileWatchers, to be able to use SASS en SCSS.
After I did this, my Css files are not recognized anymore.
When I create a css file, all text is gray. And not a single tag is shown with colours etc.
Also, when I type the first 3 letters, like "bac" for background-color, there are no possible tags shown.
All help is appreciated a lot.
1) Please show the whole file (whole editor tab -- I want to see an icon) and not just fragment of it.
Based on file icon this file is treated as plain text file.


Most posts on this subject ramble on for ages about the different types of websites there are before eventually getting round to answering the question. They explain in detail how different types of sites work, starting with the basic free ones, before building up to the expensive ones (and then try to sell you one). They may even finish off with some sort of fancy comparison breakdown.
I have a lot more respect for your intellect, but practically none for your attention span so am going to do it backwards.
Same as above, but you don't have the time or inclination to learn and do it yourself.
Costs dependent on amount of pages/complexity of design/whether you pick a theme they already have or ask for original designs etc.
3. Sell, sell, sell! I want it quick and I want it now!
These costs really depend on how complex your catalogue is, how many locations you sell out of and to, whether you have the logistics chain integrated with the site etc.
If you've got all the budget, you can get all the benefits… Want a site that is a one stop shop for your customers, internal staff, sub-contractors and everyone else in between, each with different levels of access and ability to gain the information they need about products, projects and processes all in one place? Want it to hook into your CRM, Project Management software or Accounts package? It's all possible as long as you have the right team and the money to pay for it!
Why are your prices for the bespoke sites so vague, Richard?
Please don't call me Richard, only my mum calls me Richard.
I assume you already have a basic understanding that some websites only have a few pretty pages, whereas some might sell thousands of products and link you through to personalised account pages. Some may have interactive galleries or have a lightening quick search function that sorts though masses of data and I know you know all that clever stuff costs money to build, but how is a price attached and why should you pay for it if there is something similar out there already?
What you may not know is quite how integrated your daily processes and your website can be. Did you know that you can tie your front-end site into a CRM program to track leads? Did you know you could have a booking system that users can sign up to something like a training course on, but when this booking is confirmed the system makes sure books are ordered, keeps track of venue costs and even sends out reminders to the trainers and delegates about when and where they need to be? With this sort of functionality, your beautiful looking front-end site becomes not just a branding tool, but the outer shell of a much more powerful business engine, modernising logistics and admin processes. As a result, this sort of site will provide far greater ROI through better end to end efficiencies than a simple "brochure" site.
Okay, okay. I get it, but it is very hard to quantify. Because your business is unique, it requires a unique solution, and the industry has always found it difficult to define proper labels for unique things. The easiest way to explain how much it costs is down to complexity.
When creating a website, there are degrees of complexity at each stage of the process. In order to quote, a company must look at what is being requested and ask themselves not how long it will take, but the level of complexity in each area of the site. This will take into account how many pages there are likely to be, the design, the systems it will have to hook into, the different types of users that will be engaging with the site (externally and internally) etc. etc. For each level of complexity comes an increased cost and without understanding the inner workings of your business, it's hard to truly understand what you need.
Isn't it their responsibility to find out what I need and quote accordingly? How do I know what I want? - I'm not the expert!
You're right. And you're wrong.
Imagine if you walked into an ice cream shop and asked the person at the till for a dessert that, when eaten, makes you feel like a unicorn lost in a waterpark. When they then handed you a multicoloured ice cream sitting in a beautiful blue porcelain bowl, would you get upset because you actually wanted a cake?
Getting what you want from people is very hard if you are not clear about what you want in the first place. On the flip side it's very hard to say what you want if you don't know what is actually possible because, as you said, you're not the expert. You're not expected to map out the solution, but it helps if you have a basic understanding of what the problem is in the first place.
What a good web design company will do is not just get under the skin but get right down to the bones of your business. How do your customers currently fit into the process? What happens behind the scenes when a customer makes a request with you? Do you run your business on a pile of spreadsheets with massive room for human error? What are the motivations behind the different user groups - not just the customer, but the admin staff in your office, the FD sitting in her tower or the sales people out in the field?
Ok, advice noted. So how do I make sure I'm not getting taken for a ride?
The simple answer is trust. If you've got to a stage in your business where you're spending proper money on a site, you will have probably already done some due diligence and looked at their previous work online. You wouldn't even be meeting them if they didn't pass these basic tests. Hopefully you will have looked at these sites not just from a design perspective, but a user experience one as well. Can you find things easily on them? Did you get frustrated using it?
If they have got to a stage where they are sitting in your office, during the conversations do you feel they have truly understood what you want? Have they had some creative ideas for solutions that meet your needs? Have they introduced you to the project team (at very least the project manager) or have they just thrown sales staff at you? Do you feel comfortable around them, because this will be a lengthy process and you need to feel like they are part of your team, not just a faceless resource.
Because of how vague pricing can be, the biggest fear will be that you get to points in the project where costs balloon out of control. Confusion as to what was in and out of scope is a very common thing in the web world because the initial scoping and quoting phase was rushed.
The only way you can truly feel comfortable is by getting to know a team and treating the procurement process more like a job interview. Yes, they are technically skilled, but ask yourself truthfully; are they going to get on with my team? Do they have my best interests at heart?
Ask them for references, call up their previous clients and enquire directly how the process was handled. Ask these people if at any point in the process, the web team made them feel like they were being baffled by technical jargon. Did they feel like they were constantly being sold to? Were key decisions written down and signed off on? Most importantly, would they use the same team again?
If they fall at any of these hurdles, then you need to keep on looking.

Billions of Gallons of Animal Waste From Factory Farms Poses Health Risks in Wake of Hurricane Matthew
Reports emerging Thursday of dead farm animals and breached manure pits highlight a health risk that will linger long after Hurricane Matthew's floodwaters recede: The threat of pollution from the billions of gallons of animal waste stored at North Carolina's loosely regulated factory farms.
The immensity of the ongoing threat to human health and the environment across a coastal plain clustered with factory farms is demonstrated by the fact that just four counties in the severely flooded lower Cape Fear River basin are home to 36.5 million farm animals, producing more than 40 billion pounds of animal waste annually, according to research by the Center for Biological Diversity.
"Our hearts go out to the tens of thousands of North Carolinians whose lives have been turned upside down by the horrible flooding," said Hannah Connor, a Center for Biological Diversity attorney specializing in harms caused by factory farming. "Sadly they've been put at additional long-term risk by the threat of pollution of their waterways and groundwater from billions of gallons of largely untreated animal waste at these industrial operations."

Breathless in Chicago: Two days with Rahm Emanuel
Posted on March 26, 2013 by Sabine Muscat
It is hard to keep pace with Rahm Emanuel. When we followed him through his city for a profile in the April issue of Capital magazine, it seemed as if the days did not have enough hours to pursue all the projects President Barack Obama's former chief-of-staff had set out to do as the mayor of Chicago.
On a morning in January, he started the day at a breakfast in honor of the slain civil rights activist Martin Luther King. "I just had a call from the President", he told his African-American audience. "He wishes you all well." At noon, he joined female Internet entrepreneurs at a lunch meeting in his offices, before he shoveled dirt at the groundbreaking of Chicago's first commercial high-rise project since the onset of the economic crisis. "This could have taken another year, but patience is not one of my strong suits," said Emanuel who expedited bureaucratic procedures.
Anne Ryan captured all these moments in lively photographs. One thing seems clear: Here is a man who loves his city and his job. "I think it is the best job I have ever had in public life", Emanuel told me. "I like to say that I got a promotion."
As the Democratic mayor of a Democratic city, he does not have to wait for Congress to pass policies aimed at funding infrastructure, protecting the environment or strengthening vocational training at Chicago's city colleges. He can just do it – and use the city as a test lab for a Democratic agenda.
The problem is: His city does not seem to love him back. In a poll taken in February, only 2 percent of Chicagoans approved strongly of his job performance, while 12 percent "somewhat approved". Being the decider-in-chief also means owning unpopular decisions. Chicago faces a serious budget gap, and having just survived a major teacher strike last year, the mayor caused a new uproar with the announcement to close dozens of elementary schools in his city.
Emanuel seems to have become the big polarizer yet again – an image he carried over from his time in the White House where many blamed his brazen style of having exacerbated the frictions between the administrations and the legislators.
As the mayor of Chicago, he has never left the national stage and stayed involved in the country's partisan debates. In January he traveled to Washington to lobby for stricter gun control – an important issue for his crime-ridden city. At a graduation ceremony for 32 new police officers, Emanuel applauded Obama's efforts to rein in gun ownership. The speech was "fine", but "too political", some in the audience commented.
At Obama's second inauguration celebrations in late January, a party hosted by Emanuel was one of the hottest tickets in town. There are rumors among some Democrats that he might run for President in 2016 – should Hillary Clinton take a pass. Emanuel keeps the channels open, but denies any national ambitions. Being the mayor of Chicago is more than a full-time job.

The 2018 Women Who Shape the State are inspiring achievers from all walks of life with one important thing in common: an incredible knack for leadership. Congratulations Melanie!
From Birmingham magazine:
Bridgeforth, the president and CEO of The Women's Fund of Greater Birmingham, has dedicated her career to improving the lives of Alabama men, women, and children. Her role at The Women's Fund allows her to combat poverty in the five-county area around Jefferson County. A fifth-generation Alabamian, she was driven to success largely by her parents. "They are the two most significant motivators of my unrelenting drive for success because they allowed me to define my own success and resist social and cultural norms that might confine who I could become," she says. She thinks effective leaders possess "unwavering integrity" and stay true to their word. "They are fearless in their endeavors and intentional in their decision making to change and create history for those they serve."

Millions needed to beef up state's emergency preparedness, report says

Hawaii residents shouldn't expect the state to resume ballistic missile alert testing anytime soon, but the beleaguered Hawaii Emergency Management Agency is immediately seeking to hire a new leader and procure millions from the state Legislature to shore up its disaster-response capabilities.
A report prepared by Hawaii National Guard Brig. Gen. Kenneth Hara, the state's deputy adjutant general, in the aftermath of the Jan. 13 false missile alert identified a need for HI-EMA to prepare a strategic plan and update its All Hazards Catastrophic Plan to include chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear scenarios. It recommended including all emergency management stakeholders in future planning and outlined tens of millions of dollars in future capital improvement investments.
Gov. David Ige signed an executive order requesting Hara's review on Jan. 15, just two days after a state employee in a Diamond Head bunker sent out an alert warning of an incoming ballistic missile that included the words: "This is not a drill."
COST TO FIX: TO BE DETERMINED
A report prepared by Hawaii National Guard Brig. Gen. Kenneth Hara suggests ways to improve Hawaii's emergency preparedness, including the development of future programs.
>> Construct Joint Emergency Management Center
Cost estimate: $135 million
>> Improve multipurpose shelters, seaports and airports, subsistence storage capacity, and emergency energy infrastructure
Cost estimate: to be determined.
>> Build out Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Annex
>> Operationalize Office of Homeland Security
>> Establish statewide evaluation program
>> Establish chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear civil defense capability improvement program for counties
That event caused some Hawaii residents and tourists to spend up to 38 minutes thinking that a nuclear attack was imminent. It has occupied the focus of state and federal lawmakers and has prompted an investigation by the Federal Communications Commission and an after-action review by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Now, Ige says he'll be asking the Legislature for more than $2 million immediately to build emergency preparedness capacity in response to Hara's report, which was released Tuesday. Ige said he doesn't have a cost estimate for Hara's longer-term recommendations, but he believes his proposed appropriation will accelerate preparedness.
"We are moving forward with a strategic vision that enables emergency managers in Hawaii to identify gaps and vulnerability for handling all hazards," Ige said. "It's all about the safety and security of the people of Hawaii. This is the beginning of a process."
Hara said the agency will begin improvements by issuing a request for proposals for a strategic plan, which at an estimated $800,000 would be part of this year's legislative request. The report also estimates that updating the All Hazards Catastrophic Plan and reviewing the feasibility of re-instituting fallout shelters could cost about $875,000. It allocates about $500,000 for public outreach.
Longer-term expenses discussed in the Hara report include construction of a Joint Emergency Management Center estimated at $135 million, with costs to be determined for the build-out of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency annex. Hara's report said infrastructure upgrades also should be funded for multipurpose shelters, ports and airports, subsistence storage capacity and emergency energy infrastructure.
Lawmakers react
House Finance Chairwoman Sylvia Luke (D, Punchbowl-Pauoa-Nuuanu) said she has not reviewed the report, but understands that the administration will ask lawmakers to fund additional planning for HI-EMA. Luke said she is generally supportive of funding some longer-term infrastructure improvements, but she questioned why HI-EMA did not ask for them sooner or why it needs additional planning money.
"We just had an investigation, so why do you need to spend another $800,000 to come up with a plan? And I think that's kind of a wrong approach," Luke said.
However, she said she would look "favorably upon" some infrastructure improvements, like computer system enhancements, which she hopes would prevent future failures.
State Sen. Will Espero (D, Ewa Beach-Iroquois Point) said he won't support HI-EMA's funding request until he has more details. He thinks $500,000 is high for a public outreach. He also questions why HI-EMA needs an additional $800,000 for strategic planning, when "that should be part of the agency's normal duties and it could draw on the expertise of the U.S. Pacific Command and the University of Hawaii."
Espero said he also wants greater details about HI-EMA's future wish list, which "would surely be in the tens of millions of dollars or more."
"Public safety and security are expenditures that we must make," Espero said. "But we need to make sure that we are making the right ones."
Rep. Gene Ward (R, Hawaii Kai) said he was disappointed in Hara's report, which mostly just agreed with the findings of a Jan. 30 report released by Brig. Gen. Bruce Oliveira. Ward said Hara's report concentrated on "big macros with lots of money attached" instead of "providing the public with the solid management audit that they crave."
"All we wanted to do was get questions about the warning point system answered, and now they're talking about things like a new port that will cost millions and millions of dollars," Ward said. "I think it's a bit of a misdirection. How can we throw money at something with so many unanswered questions?"
HI-EMA has said it's already addressed many public concerns, but that appropriations are needed to make more progress. Hara said the state won't resume ballistic missile alert testing until the agency hires a new leader and completes a strategic plan. He estimates the "best case scenario" to resume testing is eight months out from the beginning of strategic planning efforts.
Hara said HI-EMA is moving ahead on its quest to fill the agency's administrator position, left vacant by the Jan. 30 resignation of Maj. Gen. Vern Miyagi. Hara said multiple candidates responded to the job announcement, which closed Friday. Maj. Gen. Arthur "Joe" Logan, state adjutant general, likely will conduct phone interviews this week, he said.
"We'll probably make a selection before the end of the week," Hara said.
Strong leader sought
Hawaii island Mayor Harry Kim said leadership changes will be important to the agency. Kim had objected to the state's plan to roll out ballistic missile alert testing several times from July to November because he didn't think all stakeholders were adequately prepared.
Kim said he agreed with the findings in the 36-page Hara report, although he said he could have completed it in one page.
"It was real simple what happened. We had some management problems that has to be fixed," said Kim, who collaborated on the Hara report.
He said he wants HI-EMA's top leadership spot to go to a "professional planner" and "strong leader."
Kim said he's recommended a retired military leader who lives in Arizona but has ties to Hawaii. He did not name the candidate, but Kim did not deny that retired Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba was his pick when a reporter asked if he would assist Taguba in assembling a local team.
Espero said Taguba, who is known for authoring an internal U.S. Army report on abuse of detainees held at Iraq prisons, has excellent credentials, but that the state must ensure that Taguba or any other candidate knows what he or she has agreed to undertake.
"The candidate will have a major responsibility in overhauling the system," Espero said. "We need to make sure that they really want the job and understand what the task is so that we can make sure that the right person is chosen to lead us out of this situation."
