Q: Dropdown list in Zend framework 1 I want to implement a dropdown list to select elements from another table and display them using ZEND 1.
I have two tables, products, and categories.
This code shows the list of the elements on the products table.
 <?php
          foreach ($this->products as $product)
          {
                echo "
";
                echo "" . $product->name_product . "	";
                echo "" . $product->category_id . "	";
                echo "" . $product->warehouse_id . "	";
                echo "" . $product->picture . "	";
                echo "" . $product->price . "	";
                echo "url(array('controller' => 'product', 'action' => 'edit', 'id' =>
                $product->id)) . "' type='button' class='btn btn-primary'>Edit";
                echo " url(array('controller' => 'product', 'action' => 'delete', 'id' => $product->id)) . "' onclick='return confirm(\"Do you really want to delete this contact?\");' type='button' class='btn btn-danger'>Delete	";
                echo "
";
         }
   ?>

I want exactly to select the column "name" which is on the table categories and display it on the place of "category_id", in the code above of course.
What is the way to this?

A: well I've checked Zend 1 there is no prebuilt widget for a drop-down list that's why I
prefer Yii for that but anyway I m going to answer your question so you want to retrieve data from your table and make them on a dropdown list
and for that, you can do something like that on PHP
<select>

            <?php while($row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result1)):;?>

            <option value="<?php echo $row1[0];?>"><?php echo $row1[1];?></option>

            <?php endwhile;?>

        </select>

and if you wanna do it in an MVC manner you can write it like that
 <select>

            <?php foreach(yourmodel as row)?>

            <option value="<?php echo $row->yourid;?>"><?php echo $row->yourvalue;?></option>

            <?php end;?>

        </select>

CUSTOMS OFFICERS PARTICIPATE IN USPTO/ICHIP WEBINARS ON COVID-19 ENFORCEMENT, TRADE RELATED IPR ISSUES WP 03/12
Suva, December 10, 2020– If there is one major change enforced by COVID-19, it has been the increased use of digital technology to continue operations. In the Pacific region and like the world all over, e-commerce is now relevant more than ever. "Our customs officers need to quickly learn how to adapt to these changes and at the same time ensure there is sufficient fiscal revenue to support governments," OCO Acting Head of Secretariat, Irma Daphney Stone said.
OCO and its members are continuing to benefit from the US Department of Justice (USDOJ) – International Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (ICHIP) and the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) webinar series on COVID-19 crimes as well as a series on the dark web. The OCO Head of Secretariat, Mr. Richard Brennan also presented during one of the sessions on OCO USPTO's partnership. "These webinars assist to build the capacity of our customs officers to identify risk areas to focus on," Mrs. Stone said. "The webinars discussed various issues such as ways to manage fraudulent websites and techniques to use when switching from border enforcement to criminal enforcement." The officers were also educated on intellectual property rights, enforcement against COVID-19 related crimes, and enforcement against the trade in counterfeit goods.
"The webinar sessions were indeed very informative and interesting, particularly on how organized criminal or crime syndicates operate in the US and the reality that smaller island countries like Fiji are also vulnerable to illegal activities as such," Fiji Revenue and Customs Service Senior Customs Officer, Laisa Naulumatua said. "I was particularly interested in the Dark Web and Business Email Compromise (BEC) Investigation presentations. The sessions were also an eye-opener as the presentations clearly emphasized investigation techniques and mechanisms in place that were executed resulting in successful prosecution. Even as we consider that the US is amongst the leading nations in the world, there is no restriction as to where or how criminal syndicates can target or what controls are in place that they can infiltrate."
The first series of webinars were held from May to July followed by another series held from 14 October-18 November as well as the current one running from the 30th November to the 16th December, with participation from law enforcement officers and relevant stakeholders from across Asia Pacific region.
In the Pacific, participants were from the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Kiribati, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Vanuatu.

A multi-centre randomised placebo controlled trial of ibuprofen for extremely preterm babies with a large Patent Ductus Arteriosus.
This diagram is a schematic representation of the Baby-OSCAR Trial. It is divided into 3 stages: pre-intervention, intervention and post-intervention.
The pre-intervention stage is divided into 5 steps: preterm infant, standard ECHO assessment to detect a large PDA, assessment for eligibility, obtaining parental consent and then randomisation.
The intervention stage shows the 2 possible interventions that a baby in the trial might receive: either ibuprofen, or a matched placebo. Treatment would start within 72 hours of birth and would typically stop 72 hours later.
The post-intervention stage shows that after ibuprofen or placebo intervention is completed, the baby is discharged from hospital.
Follow-up at 2 years of age corrected for prematurity is planned to assess the health of the child and how they are developing.

Little Rock students' sickout backs teacher union
Dozens troop to Capitol, ask to visit with Hutchinson by Dale Ellis | October 31, 2019 at 7:46 a.m.
Parkview High School students Morgan Peters (left) and Diane Cooper, both 18, sit in the lobby of the governor's office Wednesday at the state Capitol as they wait to see if Gov. Asa Hutchinson will meet with them. More photos are available at arkansasonline.com/1031lrsd/.
In a symbolic move, thousands of students from the Little Rock School District staged a "sickout" protest Wednesday in support of teachers who are about to lose union representation after a decision by the state Board of Education earlier this month.
District officials said 3,414 students in the 23,000-student school district called in sick Wednesday, almost 2,200 more than the 1,231 who called in sick Tuesday. Among the district's five high schools, 1,496 called in sick Wednesday compared with 524 the day before, an almost threefold increase.
About 100 of those who called in sick Wednesday went to the state Capitol in an effort to talk to Gov. Asa Hutchinson and voice their displeasure with the way the state has dealt with the district since taking it over and disbanding its School Board in January 2015.
The protest came one day before the expiration of the contract negotiated by the Little Rock Education Association, the teachers union. The state Board of Education voted Oct. 10 to end decades-old recognition of the union as the exclusive contract bargaining agent for employees.

District officials are preparing for a possible walkout by teachers.
Sam Triplett, a senior at Little Rock Central, said the mood around the school has been tense while waiting to see what happens.
"Everyone knows the enormity of the situation that's going on right now," Triplett said. "We know it's a David vs. Goliath type of situation."
Little Rock Superintendent Mike Poore said if teachers walk off the job, they could face disciplinary action.
"You have to kind of go by the policies that are a part of our district, and those are pretty specific about what a person has to do if they are going to call in sick or be gone from work for a personal day," Poore said Wednesday. "We have to be able to look at those situations, but if they're on a sick day, as an example, and if that's how they've called it in and they're out picketing on the street, that's a problem."
Poore said he hasn't heard anything concrete regarding a potential teachers strike, but the district is preparing for that possibility.

"That's why you've seen over the past few days us trying to enhance our sub pool with kind of the opportunity for people to sign up and do a one-stop shop to get signed up as a substitute in the district," he said. "Us trying to make sure we have our own members of Central Office all ready to go if need be, members of the Department of Ed, so yeah, we're planning but at this point we're not aware of anything."
Community activist Anika Whitfield, who helped organize the student protest, said students stood outside the governor's office for about an hour Wednesday but were unable to meet with Hutchinson. She said students wanted to urge Hutchinson to restore the school district to local control immediately and stop the Board of Education's action to cease recognition of the union.
Whitfield said Bill Gossage, deputy chief of staff for Hutchinson, said he would try to get one of the protesting students an audience with the governor, but Whitfield said that was unacceptable.
"We're not going to have a silo meeting," she said. "He's going to meet with all of us or none of us."
Whitfield said the actions of the governor and his staff were tantamount to "denying democracy."
"The students recognized it, which is why they stuck around as long as they did," Whitfield said.
Katie Beck, the governor's spokeswoman, said Hutchinson was not avoiding students. She said Hutchinson's schedule was already set, and that he'd offered to meet with students today.
"That's not confirmed yet," Beck said. "We're coordinating that through the superintendent and the schools, so that's why the meeting hasn't been set yet and the details are not confirmed."
Asked if the governor would consider meeting with the entire group, Beck said she wasn't sure.
"We're working with the schools on getting representatives from each school to have a meeting with the governor," Beck said. "In terms of exact numbers, I don't know."
Beck also pointed out that regardless of whether Hutchinson meets with students, he lacks the authority to overturn actions by the Board of Education.
State Education Secretary Johnny Key released a draft memo Tuesday that laid out a framework for the creation of community schools and outlines conditions under which the school district will be returned to local control. That memo, according to some critics, was drafted without input from parents, educators and community members from within the district. Whitfield said such a decision leaves out the people who will be most affected by whatever decisions are made.
Poore said Wednesday's spike in absenteeism -- which he acknowledged was a significant increase over the previous day -- could be attributed to any number of things, and not just the walkout by students.
"It was a cold, wet, rainy day, which sometimes hurts our attendance, not by that much, but it does hurt it," Poore said.
The superintendent also pointed out the district won't hold classes today and Friday because of a professional-development conference.
"Many times the day before a holiday or a professional-development day, our attendance drops," he said.
Vicki Hatter, an education advocate from Little Rock, said the experience of going to the Capitol to protest served as a real-life civics lesson for many of the students, and an example of the power of ideas.
"If we just think about how a student had a thought and put it out on social media, how other students then start contacting that student, and then how they started to organize, I think that's the power of civil disobedience and how it works."

Federal tax refunds, already at a record average of $1,325 this year, are likely to be higher for many taxpayers in 1999, according to the Internal Revenue Service. New tax credits -- especially the child tax credit -- will lower taxes for many parents, resulting in larger refunds. Tax credits are a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of tax owed.
The good news at the Internal Revenue Service these days is that the check is not in the mail.

The help lines will be available continuously from 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 14, through midnight on Wednesday, April 15, local time. Taxpayers can call the IRS help line at 1- 800-829-1040.
With the tax filing season in its final week, the Internal Revenue Service offered some tips for those still working on their tax forms. Double-check your numbers. Sign your form. Attach all required schedules. And send your return to the IRS by April 15.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has put more strength behind the Taxpayer Advocate's recommendations to IRS functions -- a new authority to mandate that administrative or procedural changes requested by the Advocate be implemented. Previously, the Advocate could not order such actions to be taken.
With the tax filing deadline just two weeks away, the Internal Revenue Service today reminded taxpayers that it has help for those who can't complete their forms on time or can't pay what they owe.
The Internal Revenue Service announced today that more than one million businesses will have an extra six months to switch from paper coupons for their federal tax deposits to the new Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
Preliminary estimates for 1995 reveal that there were more than 4.1 million top wealth-holders (with gross assets of $600,000 or more) in the United States. Their assets totaled $6.3 trillion, while their net worth amounted to almost $5.7 trillion. Of the total number, 2.6 million were men and 1.5 million were women. Nearly 1.5 million individuals were millionaires, having a net worth of $1 million or more. A companion study for 1992 indicates that the 3.7 million top wealth-holders in that year comprised 2 percent of the population, yet accounted for 28 percent of total U.S. personal wealth. These facts are included in the article "Personal Wealth, 1992-1995" in the Winter 1997-1998 issue of the quarterly Statistics of Income Bulletin, just published.
The Internal Revenue Service will release the final Request for Proposal (RFP) for a prime systems integration services contractor for IRS's computer systems on March 26, 1998. The prime contractor will provide program management, systems development, and integration capabilities needed to implement IRS's extensive systems modernization project as outlined in its Modernization Blueprint.
The number most likely to be wrong on a tax return isn't an income or deduction amount, according to the Internal Revenue Service -- it's the identification number for the taxpayer, spouse, or dependent. This was the most frequent error last year and the second most common mistake in returns received by the IRS through February 1998.
The Internal Revenue Service will help low-income taxpayers who may be eligible for the earned income tax credit prepare their returns on Saturday, March 28, 1998, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The free tax preparation assistance will be offered at more than 150 IRS offices nationwide. No appointment is necessary.
Taxpayers who need tax forms or publications should act soon to request them, the Internal Revenue Service advised today -- the April 15 filing deadline is less than four weeks away. In addition to providing materials at its local offices, the IRS makes forms available by mail, computer, or fax.
The Internal Revenue Service announced today that it will create a 10-12 member Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee to help the IRS plan its strategy for making electronic filing the preferred and most convenient method of filing tax and information returns. It will also provide an organized forum for discussion of electronic tax administration issues.
The Internal Revenue Service is making it easier for more than three million business taxpayers to file their quarterly Form 941 payroll returns.
The Internal Revenue Service today announced that interest rates for the calendar quarter beginning April 1, 1998, will be seven (7) percent for overpayments, eight (8) percent for underpayments, and ten (10) percent for large corporate underpayments. The overpayment rate for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000 will be five and one-half (5.5) percent.
With the April 15 tax filing deadline a little more than a month away, the Internal Revenue Service expects its Web site and TaxFax services -already handling more than twice as much traffic as last year -- to become even busier.
Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles 0. Rossotti has named IRS executive Bob Wenzel to head up the implementation of hundreds of recommendations to improve IRS's treatment of taxpayers and the service it provides them. As head of the new Taxpayer Treatment and Service Improvements Program, Wenzel will report directly to Commissioner Rossotti.
More hours on Internal Revenue Service telephone lines have meant fewer busy signals and quicker access for callers. The IRS nearly doubled its hours of service this year, from 50 to 96 hours a week. Lines for both live assistance and forms orders are open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
The Internal Revenue Service today announced the locations of its March Problem Solving Days. At 33 locations across the country, individuals with long-standing tax problems will have the opportunity to meet face to face with IRS employees who will work to find solutions. Taxpayers can find the location nearest them by accessing the IRS homepage on the World Wide Web -- www.irs.ustreas.gov -- or calling the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040.
The Internal Revenue Service has selected a team of contractors led by Computer Sciences Corporation to help the agency modernize its business practices and replace its outdated technology. The comprehensive modernization program also includes reorganization of the agency to improve service to taxpayers.
The Internal Revenue Service today announced that Booz-Allen & Hamilton, an international management and technology consulting firm, will conduct a validation study and risk assessment of the recently announced plan to modernize the IRS.
As part of its ongoing evaluation of dispute resolution programs, the Office of the National Director of Appeals began a Customer Satisfaction Survey in June 1997 to collect feedback from taxpayers about the Internal Revenue Service Appeals process. The survey was completed in January 1998. Of the 6,800 taxpayers and tax practitioners who were mailed a two-page survey, 43% chose to participate.
Through newly-formed partnerships with the private sector, the Internal Revenue Service is expanding electronic filing options for individuals.
The concept of equal opportunity in federal employment has long been supported and reaffirmed over the years by the executive and legislative branches and in a number of Supreme Court cases.
The Internal Revenue Service will offer special extended walk-in service at over 150 locations across the country on six Saturdays from March 7 to April 11, 1998. The off ices will be open from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm local time.
The grand jury is an investigative process convened by a Federal Court, and tasked with seeking information, evaluating allegations and evidence, and determining whether criminal charges are warranted. Evidence is presented to the grand jury by Department of Justice special prosecutors or local U.S. Attorneys. The IRS special agent's role in this process is to assist the grand jury in gathering evidence of criminal violations. For the IRS special agent, this means his or her focus will be on alleged violations of criminal tax, money laundering and currency crimes. The special agent assists in this process only at the direction of the prosecuting attorney and with the concurrence of IRS management. Frequently, grand jury investigations of financial crimes are expanded to include potential tax or related crimes. The expertise of the IRS special agent is utilized to conduct a full financial investigation of this criminal conduct.
More taxpayers are filing their federal and state income tax returns in one action when they file electronically. With Federal/State e-filing, one transmission carries the taxpayer's federal and state information to the Internal Revenue Service. The state tax agencies then retrieve the state tax return data from the IRS for processing.
The Internal Revenue Service is committed to fair and consistent application of disciplinary rules across all levels of the workforce and will continue to work toward ensuring against instances where managers seem to be held to a lesser standard. Favoritism toward managers is not acceptable.
For the first time, the General Accounting Off ice has given an unqualified -- or "clean" -- opinion on the reliability of the Internal Revenue Service's Custodial Financial Statements. The statements audited by GAO were IRS reports on taxes collected and refunds paid during Fiscal Year 1997.
The Internal Revenue Service is committed to preventing and eliminating sexual harassment from the workplace. Sexual harassment, whether it is committed by executives, managers, supervisors, employees, or non-employees (i.e., contractors, taxpayers, or visitors to the workplace) is specifically prohibited. Under agency guidelines, all allegations of sexual harassment are dealt with promptly and impartially, and employees who report such incidents do not suffer any form of reprisal or retaliation.
Taxpayers with a computer and a modem may find it easier -- and possibly cheaper -- to file their tax returns electronically this year. The Internal Revenue Service Web site has links to private sector firms that are participating in its e-file program and some tax preparation software packages include free e-filing.
Many married couples file a joint tax return because of the benefits it allows. But doing so means that both people are responsible for the tax and any interest or penalties, even if they later divorce.
The Internal Revenue Service will be working to help taxpayers on the upcoming Presidents' Day holiday. The IRS will open its toll-free assistance line -- 1-800-829- 1040 -- as well as its toll-free forms and publications line -1-800-829-3676 -- on Monday, February 16, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time. This means there will be no interruption of the expanded IRS toll-free customer service hours, Monday through Saturday, 16 hours a day.
Illegal tax protest movements have been around for decades, springing up in different areas of the country and in a variety of forms. These groups and/or individuals, known as illegal tax protesters, deprive the government of substantial revenue. Illegal tax protesters frequently lure otherwise innocent taxpayers into participating in their schemes to pay little or no taxes. A recent study found that 47,000 illegal tax protesters owed more than $540 million in taxes -- 2.3% of the total accounts receivable due from individuals. Illegal tax protesters use a variety of false or misleading arguments for not paying taxes, and advise taxpayers not to comply with federal tax laws.
The popularity of filing tax returns electronically -- or e-filing -climbed dramatically in the early days of this tax season. Through February 6, more than 8.3 million of the 14.3 million returns filed -- nearly 60 percent -- arrived at the Internal Revenue Service by either phone or computer.
The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (CI) Division uses different investigative techniques to help fight financial crimes related to tax administration. These techniques include undercover operations and informants.
How would you rate the treatment you received during an IRS audit? How prompt was the service you received at an IRS walk-in office? The Internal Revenue Service wants to know. Your experience with the services that the IRS provides could be the basis for real improvements to the IRS's customer service.
In Fiscal Year 1997, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (CI) Division initiated 5,335 investigations. There were 3,817 cases (73%) recommended for prosecution, with an average of 281 elapsed days from the date the case was initiated to the date the case was recommended for prosecution. During this same time frame, there were 1,427 cases (27%) discontinued, with 294 average elapsed days from the date the case was initiated to the date the case was discontinued.
The Internal Revenue Service is seeking industry proposals on ways to increase the number of electronic transactions. Such proposals Should address enhancements and modifications of the IRS Electronic Tax Administration programs. Offerors should submit a summary of their proposals by February 24.
The Criminal Investigation (CI) Division of the Internal Revenue Service enforces the criminal statutes on tax administration and related financial crimes.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Charles 0. Rossotti has announced that he will begin an independent review of the IRS Inspection Service to assess Inspection's effectiveness in accomplishing its mission.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Charles 0. Rossotti has developed a concept of a modernized American tax agency that will deliver significantly improved service to American taxpayers.
Some taxpayers may have mailed their individual income tax returns only to find them right back in their mailboxes instead of delivered to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS has just learned that a printing contractor used the wrong bar code when printing IRS service center address labels for the return envelopes in about one million 1040 packages.
In September 1997, the Senate Finance Committee held hearings in which allegations of IRS employee evaluations based on enforcement statistics and abuses of taxpayer rights surfaced. The Internal Revenue Service took those allegations very seriously, and took a number of steps to determine the degree to which those allegations were true, as well as actions to reevaluate and change, if necessary, policies and procedures that may cause unintended consequences for taxpayers.
When I appeared before this Committee in October, I had already confirmed for myself two things: that the IRS must do a far better job of serving taxpayers, and that achieving a goal of consistent first rate service would require a major shift in the IRS's focus. I committed to you that I would improve the work of an agency that directly affects so many people and do so to the best of my ability.
Each year the Internal Revenue Service works to make it easier for people to get tax help. This year taxpayers have more options than ever before to get the help and information they need.
As part of its efforts to improve customer service, the Internal Revenue Service is for the first time looking outside the agency for a new Taxpayer Advocate. The Taxpayer Advocate reports directly to the Commissioner, and acts as the "voice of the taxpayer." Toward that end, the IRS has hired Korn/Ferry International, a worldwide executive search firm specializing in management searches at the senior level, to provide the IRS with qualified candidates for the position.
Last year, more than 19 million people took advantage of IRS?s e-file options that make tax filing easier for everyone. E-filing is the fastest way to file taxes, and taxpayers can get their refunds in half the time as paper returns. TeleFile has other advantages.
Many taxpayers will find some good news in the tax packages they will be receiving in the next week from the Internal Revenue Service: familiar forms and an expanded schedule of IRS telephone assistance.
The Internal Revenue Service will send about 60 million income tax packages this year. The mailout costs about $10.3 million for printing and $10.6 million for postage. Most taxpayers will get their tax packages soon after New Year's Day. The IRS expects to receive around 123 million tax returns in 1998, with continued growth in filing by telephone and by computer.


Pssst, want to check out Unsane in our new look?
If you have paid any attention to the marketing of Unsane, Steven Soderbergh shot the whole thing on his iPhone 7+. He's been selling it as revolutionary, and that no one will notice but... obviously it's noticeable. I really think it worked for this particular story though. But I don't see how it's "revolutionary".
I really enjoyed Unsane. The first act is exactly the premise that the trailer advertises, and not much goes on. But the second and third acts... are on another level.
It had me not only unaware of what would happen next, but actively guessing. That's something special, when the audience is thinking and piecing things together.
Is it perfect? No. A lot of the things that happen are completely utterly impossible, and obviously so. Also, certain decisions the lead makes are unquestionably strange and don't make sense when you look back at the final product.


THE first lesson coding professionals are taught goes back to the days of Medical Records 101, when students are eager to learn about the HIM world. Even before breaking in those fresh new coding manuals and meticulously filling every nook and cranny ad nause-um with notes and highlights, most health information management (HIM) professors and mentors sternly advise students: "If it isn't documented, it didn't happen; If it didn't happen, don't document it!" This very simple-yet-cru-cial lesson, carried by many HIM professionals post-graduation, comes to mind when thinking about Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Code Conditions (HCCs).
At Tuesday's convention session titled " Tracking Risk Adjustment Across the Continuum of Care: A Patient Tracer," presenter Laura Legg, RHIA, CCS, CDIP, AHIMA-approved ICD-10- CM/PCS Trainer, the strategic solutions director at Besler, discussed how the documentation must tell the complete story of the patient encounter to trace the patient's chronic conditions throughout the healthcare continuum. This allows healthcare plans to properly assess the risk of caring for that patient and ensure proper reimbursement. Legg described how HCCs are akin to case mix index and DRGs, where patients are grouped into categories based on disease burden and resource utilization is factored into the equation. HCCs are also weighted in a similar way to DRGs and are assigned a coefficient.
The main contention regarding HCCs has been determining exactly what constitutes a patient encounter and ensuring that the HCC is supported by the health record documentation. Legg's presentation reviewed one of several industry standards, MEAT, which stands for Monitoring, Evaluation, Assess/Ad-dress, and Treatment. In order to code a diagnosis according to risk adjustment methodology and place a patient into a HCC, at least one element of MEAT is required.

Tonight's concert features Tookany Creek, Philadelphia's finest bluegrass band and then some. Many miles and myriad styles and influences all combine magically in a performance by Tookany Creek. Its members, individually, have performed from Broadway to Greenwich Village, European pubs and Festivals, in fact, all over the globe.
Beth Mead (banjo/vocals) Has been a faculty member of South Plains College in Levelland TX and continues to instruct there annually at their Bluegrass camp. She is the proud co-author, with celebtated banjoist Alan Munde, of Hal Leonard publication The Great American Banjo Songbook. She's about the banjo-playingest gal you will ever hear!
Larry Cohen (bass/vocals) is an extraordinarily talented musician and his bass playing is legendary. Larry has performed and recorded for years with the progressive bluegrass ensemble SKYLINE and SILK CITY and has extensively toured the US Europe and Japan and accompanied many of bluegrass's top musicians. He teaches piano in the greater Philadelphia area. An arranger and producer, Larry has the gift of perfect pitch, so if you sing along tonight be very careful, you are being graded.
Paul Kenney (guitar/vocals) No matter where Paul's career path has landed him, be it Dallas, DC or Philly, he has always been able to add his lead vocals and powerful rhythm guitar playing to the bluegrass scene in a major way. He has performed, recorded with and travelled to Great Brittain with Virginia's TOO FAR GONE. Paul is one of the founding members of The KING BROTHERS duet expanding in recent from bluegrass to its Celtic cousin, Irish music. Paul knows two magic tricks.
John Catterall (mandolin/vocals) John began performing on banjo in 1967 as a member of the Ukrainian American String Band and stringed instruments have been a large part of his life ever since. He has performed with a number of folky duets and trios, spent over 25 years with the MOUNTAIN LAUREL BLUEGRSS BAND on banjo, and plays with Paul Kenney in The KING BROTHERS. For John, the best part of any music is the vocal harmonies, and that makes even rehearsing with TOOKANY CREEK a particular joy. John is the tallest member of the band and uses excellent grammar.
Opening tonight's concert is Russ Rentler. In 2016, Russ retired from medical practice. This has finally allowed him to pursue his life-long dream and passion of performing original and traditional music. He counts Bob Dylan, John McCutcheon and Walt Michaels as major influences in his style. His live performances are a mix of folk, celtic and blues-inspired tunes with multiple instrument changes interspersed with his off-beat humor and wry observations about life that keep the audiences coming back for more.
The Perkasie Patchwork Coffeehouse is a ministry of the Perkasie Mennonite Church. The coffeehouse is warm and cozy, with lots of atmosphere. It is a place where people can enjoy fellowship and see some of the best performers available up close and personal, in an intimate setting.

Improved limits on Lorentz invariance violation from astrophysical gamma-ray sources
Rodrigo Guedes Lang*, Humberto Martínez-Huerta, Vitor De Souza
Lorentz invariance (LI) has a central role in science and its violation (LIV) at some high-energy scale has been related to possible solutions for several of the most intriguing puzzles in nature such as dark matter, dark energy, cosmic rays generation in extreme astrophysical objects and quantum gravity. We report on a search for LIV signal based on the propagation of gamma rays from astrophysical sources to Earth. An innovative data analysis is presented which allowed us to extract unprecedented information from the most updated data set composed of 111 energy spectra of 38 different sources measured by current gamma-ray observatories. No LIV signal was found, and we show that the data are best described by LI assumption. We derived limits for the LIV energy scale at least 3 times better than the ones currently available in the literature for subluminal signatures of LIV in high-energy gamma rays.

Eduardo Nunez's triple off Max Scherzer's first pitch of the sixth inning took care of the former Missouri Tiger pitcher's no-hit bid, and Nick Swisher's double two batters later broke up the shutout, but what Scherzer did before that was near perfect as he finished with 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings to help send the Detroit Tigers back to the World Series. Over the last two seasons, Scherzer is now 2-0 against the Yankees in postseason play, allowing just two runs in 13 innings with five walks and 17 strikeouts.
Scherzer is a part of a Detroit rotation that has a postseason ERA of 1.02 and they will await the winner of the Cardinals/Giants series. The World Series begins next Wednesday. In last year's ALCS against Texas, the Chesterfield, MO. native went 0-1 in two starts against the Rangers, allowing nine runs in 8.1 innings. Watch Scherzer talk about wanting a shot at redemption in the playoffs .

Specialist Hygiene
3 Step Guide for Returning to Work Safely in a Post-Pandemic World
Returning to work is going to be the next challenge faced by the UK, as we begin the phased return to work across business and industry.
For many, the last two months have been a time of increased uncertainty, with business closures, building shutdowns and staff furlough schemes being introduced.
So the next question faced by many businesses and employers is, how can I ensure a safe return to work for my staff, contractors and customers?
How can we support your plans?
We have expert teams who are ready to advise and deliver on the services required to implement comprehensive strategies, carefully considering and managing the risk.
Our 3-part strategy clearly outlines the measures that we can support you to take: Check. Control. Prevent.
1. Check
Check if a site visitor is essential. Non-essential visits should be postponed for a later date when it is safe to do so.
Check the entrance and exit points to your building and site, adapting a clear strategy for access and egress.
Check your foot-traffic flows, ensuring you can enforce 2m social distancing between personnel.
Check for symptoms of all essential site visitors, including your staff, contractors and essential site visitors.
2. Control
Controlling site hygiene will be an important measure for any business looking to return to work, ensuring not only the hygiene of the premises but also personal hygiene.
Controlling, overseeing and enforcing measures such as foot-traffic flows and car park management will be a key point to consider to ensure social distancing is maintained.
Controlling and ensuring continued business operations, while handling increased staff absence and leave may also become a concern for some businesses.
3. Prevent
Preventing and limiting the risk of spreading the virus in the workplace will be an important factor for many employees when considering whether they feel their place of work is safe.

By: lexingtoncoop
After 7 years of visioning, planning and construction, our 2nd store at 1678 Hertel Ave is open. July 12 was a whirlwind day for the Lexington Co-op as we officially said "Hello Hertel" and opened the doors to your second store.
More than 200 people were lined up before 7am, some as early as 4:45am to get a peek at their new store. The first 100 were rewarded with free Co-op coffee for a year. When it was time to open the doors a paper chain was cut and the celebration began! It was a great day as we welcomed our friends, family, and neighbors through the doors. Those there at the right time were treated to Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats, BreadHive pretzels, and sushi. Don't worry, there will be plenty more exciting demos to come!
Our Hertel Ave location will be open daily from 7am-11pm, just like on Elmwood. If you haven't stopped by yet- we hope to see you there soon!

Message from Tim
Hertel is open because of our owners. Our co-op exists solely to provide services to our local owners and customers, and we selected this site because nearly 2,000 of you live in the neighborhoods near the store. Hertel is open because 403 of you invested over $2 million to finance this new store. This co-op and this store is a community accomplishment and we thank you for making it happen.
Hertel is open because of our farmers and producers. Western New York has some of the best soil in the world, and some of the best farmers as well. We have been fortunate through our history to work with many of these farmers and producers to bring the best local foods to our customers. Last year, we were excited to purchase $1.5 million from local farmers & producers, and we expect that number to double with the opening of our Hertel store. Last Thursday, Tim and Rachel Grant dropped off two grass-fed cows at Hertel. "We've been growing our herd to prepare for this," Tim told me, "We're ready." Lexington's growth has allowed them to build a house on their farm. BreadHive recently expanded their wholesale operation in part to prepare for our 2nd store. These are just a few of the stories of producers who contribute to and benefit from the growth of the Co-op. Our Co-op thrives because of all the good people growing and making delicious food for us to sell, and we thank you for it.
Hertel is open because of our excellent and dedicated staff and support team. We are grateful for our project team that developed this store from scratch. We are grateful to all the co-ops nationwide who we have learned from through the years. To the service providers like PUSH Buffalo, who take our compost and turn it into rich soil for community gardens. And we are grateful to the Board and staff who have worked tirelessly to create a great store for our community and who have worked extra hard to open this 2nd store. Our co-op is thriving because of all of you.
Through our owners, our farmers, and our staff, our Co-op strengthens our local economy and community. Last year 56 cents of every dollar you spent in our store was returned to the Western New York economy. We are excited to get this number to $10 million within the next few years. In preparation for opening, we're thrilled to report that we've lowered prices on 900 items throughout the store by an average of 84 cents. A part of our BIG Direction is our Balance Strategy, which states that while we grow, we will strive to balance the needs of our primary stakeholders, with fair prices to customers, fair wages for staff and fair prices for farmers. There is much more work to be one as we seek to find that balance, but we are excited to take this step.
We ask you to help the co-op thrive in our new home. Invite friends and family to become owners. Take a lawn sign and canvas bag and show your Co-op pride. Encourage friendly, hardworking people to apply for jobs. This new store will only succeed if we all work together to make it happen. Tell us what you love and how we can get better. And be patient with us while we learn to operate our brand new store.
We are all the stewards of this Co-op, helping it to grow and improve during our time before we pass it on to the next generation. Thank you all for bringing this exciting new store to life.
Tim Bartlett, General Manager
Our Expansion to Hertel Ave
In February 2015, Lexington announced plans to open a second store in North Buffalo! This exciting expansion for another store moves us closer to our B.I.G. Direction goals. Our 1678 Hertel location will offer:
Double the retail space
More prepared foods
Indoor seating
More registers
3x the parking!
More Co-op Economy!
More Local and Sustainable foods!
The store is expected to open in 2017. Stay tuned here for updates!
Our Shared Vision For Expansion
In early 2011, our Board of Directors committed to doubling the size of the Co-op. After study, reflection, and engagement with owners, our final Shared Vision for Expansion emerged. Lexington will double its impact by 2050 by creating:
• More access to healthy local foods.
• More knowledge about consumer issues and co-ops.
• More local farmers, owners, food, jobs and community.
• More sustainable food, practices and infrastructure.
• More space to shop and work in.

3D objects can be printed in a variety of materials.
Unfortunately there are many incorrect views about ABS and PLA. Therefore, we will explain the difference again more closely.
In the rapid prototyping technology Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) a number of thermoplastic materials can be processed, most of it are plastics. For the 3D printing users the question arises which filament material is best suited for the printed component. This contribution shows a comparison of the two most used FDM / FFF materials ABS and PLA.
This comparison is based among other things on the results of a study carried out as a work project of the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern, Pirmasens Campus. The values shown represent values for standard PLA and standard ABS and are therefore not applicable for special PLA and ABS filaments, such as. "Flexible-PLA"
When choosing the correct filament ne usually decides between ABS and PLA. Thus, although there are numerous further filament varieties available, but with respect to the print quality and versatility of PLA and ABS, it is usually these two plastics, which are suitable for use in question. It should be mentioned that for 3D printing beginners PLA filament is more suitable because it is easier to print, and show no significant problems in printing where ABS is a little more difficult, hosting some problems. Particularly noteworthy is the so-called. "Warp" effect (below image). Among them, the arching of a component due to different cooling temperatures of the different layers - and the resulting internal stresse.
Furthermore, ABS tends to have a poorer adhesion to the build platform, while these adhesion problems do not occur with PLA. ABS is recommended for advanced users, as a certain experience is needed here.
Polylactide, short PLA (from the English word "polylactic acid"), is a biodegradable plastic (biopolymer), which from renewable resources - is made - such as corn starch or sugar cane. Chemically, PLA belongs to the group of polyester and consists of many lined up lactic acid monomers. Polylactides are produced via catalytic ring opening polymerization of Lactidmolecules or esterification of lactic acid monomers. Typical PLA products are film, foil, cans, cups or mugs.
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, ABS in short, is an amorphous thermoplastic that is characterized by high strength, good chemical resistance, high hardness and good scratch resistance. ABS is built up of three different monomers: acrylonitrile, (1,3), butadiene and styrene. Thus, ABS is one of the terpolymers. The plastic first time produced in 1946 has a "natural coloring" yellow character. Typical ABS-products are z. B. Lego® blocks.
The melting temperatures of PLA filaments will be around 160-190°C (Table) and is well below the melting temperatures of ABS with about 210 to 240°C. The processing temperature of the filaments should be chosen to be significantly higher than the melting temperature. The suitable temperature for PLA is 180-210°C and for ABS is 215 - 250°C (where the heated bed temperature should be anywhere from 100 to 125°C). For PLA a print bed temperature from 50-70°C can be selected. The exact temperatures depend on the used filament and printer nozzle. The temperature of the print bed must always lie below the softening temperature of the filament, as otherwise the component will deforme. With PLA, a heated bed is not absolutely required but for ABS, however, it is an indispensable part. Post-treatment of parts by milling, drilling, turning, coat, etc. with ABS because of the good impact strength properties are better achievable than with PLA.
All further information about other suitable materials can be found directly in the individual product groups.

Opening day doesn't mean much to my family other than the addition of another fun play area for the kids. The kid's aerial park is a fantastic and shaded place to play for free all summer long.
We are also contemplating signing up the kids for a couple summer camp days. I've heard good things about the mini griz rangers.
Also, interesting to note, all weekends seem to be booked up until mid September.
A couple weeks ago we stayed with some friends at their trailer on Lake Koocanusa. It was certainly more on the glamping side, which isn't our usual, but I can't say I hated all the extras. I immediately saw the benefits of having a place that's all set up (to the max) with only clothes and food to worry about. The kids were so happy with their dirty faces, dusty clothes and wind blown hair – it was such a treat to see them out there doing something different. We went mid week, which was brilliant as the beach was empty and the lake was quiet. Our hosts were of the most and we relaxed more than we would have if we had gone camping, that's for sure, plus, we all boarded their jet boat and the kids just wanted to go faster and faster.
We're just loving summer time and feeling so blessed that such a place is just a mere 45 minute drive away. Thanks, friends, for inviting us to your palace on the lake!
At least, that's what I was told this was. A new RV Park would be good for all those RVs that drive by Fernie every summer. Perhaps they'll stop and spend some time here instead.

Two musical producers struggle to get enough investors to finance their latest show. One potential backer agrees to invest on one condition: the two producers must find an additional investor to co-finance their show. The producers convince an associate to impersonate a 'Madame' to pose as the other female investor. Everything goes as planned, until the real Madame shows up.
2015.167.1.1ab: 16mm black and white films.
Jim Walton (Elwood Smith) and his partner, Harry Diggs (Duke Williams), as two aspiring producers who try to convince a Chicago businessman to back their musical show.
In a Harlem apartment building, Jim Walton listens to Slam Stewart and his band, which he plans to feature in his new show along with female impersonator Bumpsie. Jim is in love with Cristola Cummings, whose wealthy father, believing that Jim is a successful producer, has promised to put up half the money for the new show if Parisian Madame Deborah will supply the rest of the funds. Cummings arrives unexpectedly from Chicago with Cristola and her sister Francine, hoping to meet Madame Deborah. Attempting to maintain a pretense of wealth, Jim and his partner, Harry Diggs, ask one of their actors to impersonate a butler. Their ruse is almost exposed when their landlord, Mr. Donaldson, demands that they pay their back rent, but Jim manages to convince Cummings that Donaldson is an actor in a play called "I Want My Room Rent." Learning that Madame Deborah will not arrive for a few days, Harry persuades Bumpsie to impersonate her by promising to star him in the new show. Later, when she is alone with Jim, Cristola scolds him for not writing, but embraces him when he honestly admits he does not have the Long Island mansion he claimed. While Francine gets to know Harry, Cummings converses with Bumpsie. Cummings, who is attracted to Bumpsie, hints that he would like to marry again for the sake of his daughters. Meanwhile, the real Madame Deborah arrives and introduces herself as "Mrs. Martin." Seeing that she is wealthy, Donaldson is pleased to rent a room to her. From Gaston, who has followed her from Paris, Donaldson learns that Madame Deborah has "oodles of money" and suddenly takes an interest in Bumpsie, who he thinks is Madame Deborah. Donaldson then plans a garden party in Madame Deborah's honor and offers his actor residents free rent for a week, plus ten dollars, for providing the entertainment. When Cummings learns that his daughters want to marry Jim and Harry, he objects at first, but later agrees to give his consent if Madame Deborah approves, as he will announce his engagement to her that night. Coincidentally, both Gaston and Donaldson also intend to announce their engagements to Madame Deborah that night. During the garden party, Bumpsie invites his two suitors to a rent party for Jim and Harry, explaining it is a rehearsal of a show titled "The Rent Party." When Bumpsie dances in a scanty ballet costume, Cummings, thinking that "Madame Deborah" is exposing herself to other men, jealously stalks out. Escaping from pranksters, Bumpsie encounters the real Madame Deborah, who hides him in her room, where he falls asleep. Outraged because he thinks that the whole building is being lured by Bumpsie's charms, Cummings decides to return to Chicago with his daughters. When Cristola confesses that she knows Jim is broke, but admires the way he has kept up his courage, the real Madame Deborah vows to intercede with Cummings. Although he has sworn to avoid women, Cummings is immediately attracted by Madame Deborah's flirtations. Meanwhile, two French thugs kidnap Bumpsie after they, too, mistake him for Madame Deborah. When Gaston removes the cover over Bumpsie's head, in preparation for a kiss, he recoils in horror. Bumpsie challenges him to a fight and then, still dressed in a ballet costume, runs away. When a dropped handkerchief is found in Madame Deborah's room, Cummings and Donaldson think she has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, the rent party erupts in a fight. Gaston threatens Madame Deborah and Cummings, and Jim punches him. Later Bumpsie reappears without his disguise, and Madame Deborah reveals her true identity. Cummings and Madame Deborah decide to marry, and all ends happily when they agree to back Jim's show.
