Series: New Hampshire's Opioid Crisis
With No Oversight, How Sober is 'Sober Living' in New Hampshire?
Published May 18, 2017 at 8:10 AM EDT
Erik Peterson (right) and Travis Statler (left) are house managers at Richie's Recovery in Manchester.
When recovering from an opioid addiction, one important step is finding safe, drug-free housing.
There are a lot of places in New Hampshire that call themselves 'sober living.' But with no state oversight there's no real way to check how sober these houses actually are.
If you ask those in the recovery community about sober living in Manchester, most will describe it like this:
"Anybody and everybody can say they're a recovery house and nobody knows who is really and who isn't a recovery house – it's a crap shoot."
Cheryle Pacapelli is on the state's recovery task force. She's helping draft new housing standards for the state.
But what she and many others see right now is what they call: "the wild, wild west."
To see first-hand what this looked like, I spent a day last week riding along with the city's fire chief Dan Goonan.
Manchester EMS Director and firefighter Chris Hickey along with Fire Chief Dan Goonan gave me a tour of some of the city's recovery houses.
"Is the house manager here? We are just doing a walk-through of some of the recovery housing," Goonan said. "Oh, this isn't a recovery house anymore," one of the tenants answered.
The reason the fire department suspected this place was running a recovery house is they've visited it several times before – for overdose calls.
And Chief Goonan believes it's still operating.
"You know what, I bet you a million bucks this is sober living," Goonan said as we walked back to the car.
The house was falling apart, chipped paint everywhere, overgrown grass and trash in the yard. The next house – a similar situation.
"Is there like a house manager here?" Goonan asked, after he knocked on the back door. "Last time I was here, there was a house manager that kind of gave us a quickie tour."
"He's not here," one of the tenants said, right before he closed the door.
With the demand for this type of housing so high, places like this have been running under the radar – some maybe not for the right reasons.
If you do the math, with an average rent of $150 a week and 12 people in a house, that comes out to $7,200 a month or more than $86,000 a year. So the profit is definitely there.
A view from the sidewalk of a house the city suspects is operating as a 'recovery house.'
These concerns are not just limited to Manchester. Nashua seems to be experiencing similar problems and officials in places like Keene and Concord suspect it's happening too.
Pacapelli ran sober living houses for 15 years. She says some places have good intentions, but just don't understand how much work it is.
"You have to provide them with an ear and a way to find a job and it's 24-7 if you're running a good house," Pacapelli said.
That's why more than 20 states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine, have some form of set standards and policies these houses have to live up to - such as occupancy numbers, around the clock staffing and required drug testing.
Jennifer Macia works at the treatment center Serenity Place in Manchester, which sees about 100 people a month.
This aspect of care, Macia says, is paramount in making sure people remain in recovery.
A side-view of the same house that firefighters suspect is operating as a "recovery house."
"If we have someone leave treatment and they have nowhere to go – we will see them again – I promise, because you cannot just go into treatment and get out and go back to the places that were unhealthy for you," she said.
There are several places in the city that are providing quality care. Richie's Recovery has two sober houses in Manchester. Erik Peterson is the house manager and he's in recovery himself. He said when he sought out sober living in Manchester, the house didn't have any rules or support system.
"I had guys tempting me with free drugs, watching guys drinking, watching guys nodding out like in the house on methadone or opioids," he said.
Now that he's in charge, that's different. Peterson and another manager both live in the house. They check in on the guys, randomly drug test them and make sure the place stays clean.
A barbershop style chair in one of the homes for Richie's Recovery.
The house is homey, too. There are paintings on the wall handmade by one of the tenants, a barbershop-style chair in one of the kitchens, and each room has its own personal flair and decorations.
On one of the floors, I bumped into a pair of tenants listening to rock music as they cooked spaghetti and meatballs together for dinner.
Fifty-year-old Erik Bradbury is from North Conway but he's been living here for two months now. He's been sober for six.
"Things have been going really well – I'm starting to get my life back together. I'm working, starting to save up for a car. This place has really been a savior for me."
But making sure all these places are operating under the best interests of the tenants is really hard to manage.
Under federal law, cities and towns can't deny housing to addicts and alcoholics. So they can't just shut down a shady operation - the best thing they can do is enforce building and fire codes.
Eric Spofford is in long-term recovery himself. He's been running sober living housing in N.H. since 2008.
Those who do operate legitimate sober living in the state say they would welcome more standards and oversight. Eric Spofford has been running recovery housing for nearly ten years. He's disheartened by some of the places that have been popping up lately and hopes the state will start to do something.
"You know that guy who showed up at the wrong place and that very brief opportunity that he was willing to get help and he was willing to come to that spot – well guess what, that window is closed. And when he relapses it may be weeks, months, years or he may never make it back."
Currently, the state is looking into adopting standards - but how to enforce them, who would enforce them and whether any money would be attached to them, is all up in the air right now.

Aggregate Minerals (AM) surveys, based at four-yearly intervals since 1973, provide an in-depth and up-to-date understanding of regional and national sales, inter-regional flows, transportation, consumption and permitted reserves of primary aggregates. These surveys are used to inform Government on the production, movement and consumption of aggregates in order to monitor and revise, as necessary, the Aggregate Guidelines, which support Minerals Policy Statement 1: Planning and Minerals. The data are made publicly available. This report is the collation of the data for primary aggregates for 2005. In addition to presenting information on regional and national sales, consumption, and permitted reserves of primary aggregates, the AM2005 report also presents, for the first time, data on the movement and consumption of primary aggregates by sub-region. Information is also presented on the quantity of aggregate minerals granted and refused planning permissions between 2002 and 2005 by site type and environmental designation.

The nation's third-largest city was paralyzed Tuesday by a strike organized by a citizens' committee that has called for more government funding. Shut down: Banking and transportation. A spokesman for the committee said roads, railways and a pipeline supplying natural gas to La Paz and the mining region of Oruro were cut off. Latest threat: To cut off electricity from the Corani plant to mines outside the province. At issue: The committee is demanding funds to extend the airport, build a road to the neighboring province of Beni, stimulate industry and oil production, build a dam and provide tractors to farmers.

Q: Selenium WebDriver Page object model description I am new to selenium webdriver automation. I am using Java programming language, and started to follow page object model. I would like to know the basic file structure, and how to carry it forward.
Practical examples will be very helpful. If anyone can share their sample projects, that would be highly appreciated. Thanks

A: You can follow my answer on this URL:
Automation Testing Framework
i tried to explain it in a very simple manner.
Also for your reference, you can follow below URL which explains the same.
http://www.guru99.com/page-object-model-pom-page-factory-in-selenium-ultimate-guide.html

A: Below is small demo how you can go ahead with the page object model using Java and Selenium.
I have created two classes. One class will be used to store all the web elements on the page and other class will be used to access the web elements of that class to perform intended operations.
Note: Homepage is the class created to store the web elements.
public class Homepage {
    private static WebElement element = null;
    public static WebElement Generic_Search(WebDriver driver){

        element = driver.findElement(By.id("searchTerm"));
        return element;
        }

    public static WebElement Generic_Search_Count(WebDriver driver){

        element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='facet-count']/strong"));
        return element;
        }
    public static WebElement Generic_Search_Submit(WebDriver driver){

        element = driver.findElement(By.className("search-submit"));
        return element;
        }
}

Note: Simple_User_Flow class will be used to access the web elements of Homepage
public class Simple_User_Flow {
    private static WebDriver driver = null;

     public static void main(String[] args) {

    driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get("http://materials.springer.com/");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    Homepage.Generic_Search(driver).click();
    Homepage.Generic_Search(driver).sendKeys("Mercury");
    Homepage.Generic_Search_Submit(driver).click();
    WebElement Search_Count = Homepage.Generic_Search_Count(driver);
    String Count = Search_Count.getText();
    System.out.println(Count + " Results found for your Search");
    driver.close();
}
}

Remember this is very simple demo, You can add multiple classes and use them in your main class. we can group the classes as per their functionality or structural flow.

A: Page objects is a well known design pattern, widely accepted by the automation engineers, to create separate class file for each page of the application to group all the elements as properties and their behaviors / business functionalities as methods of the class. But it has few issues in creating a class for a page - especially when the page has more / different sets of elements / complex element like a grid / calendar widget / a HTML table etc.
The class might contain too many responsibilities to handle. It should be restructured and broken into smaller classes. Ie, following the Single Responsibility Responsible.
Check the image here for the idea.

The Crimson Cord | Jill Eileen Smith | Audiobook Download - Christian audiobooks. Try us free.
Wife to a gambler who took one too many risks, Rahab finds herself sold as a slave to cover her husband's debt. Forced into prostitution, she despairs of ever regaining her freedom and her self-respect. But when Israelite spies enter Jericho and come to lodge at her house, Rahab sees a glimmer of hope and the opportunity of a lifetime. In one risky moment, she takes a leap of faith, puts her trust in a God she does not know, and vows to protect the spies from the authorities. When the armies of Israel arrive weeks later, Rahab hopes they will keep their promise, but she has no idea what kind of challenges await her outside Jericho's walls--or if she will ever know the meaning of love. Under Jill Eileen Smith's talented hand, the familiar story of Rahab bursts forth in high definition. Immerse yourself in a world of dark and dusty streets, clandestine meetings, and daring escapes as a mysterious biblical figure claims her full humanity--and a permanent place in your heart.

Hieronder een beknopt overzicht van testen door redacteuren van de Motorola Moto G5 Plus.
De Moto G5 Plus doet het op veel fronten beter dan de Moto G5. Hoewel de Moto G5 al een goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding heeft, is de tachtig euro die je extra uitgeeft voor de Moto G5 Plus het wat ons betreft waard. Je krijgt voor dat geld het dubbele opslaggeheugen, een aanmerkelijk betere camera, een betere accuduur, een kortere laadtijd, snellere hardware en een degelijkere behuizing, hoewel de accu bij de G5 Plus niet te verwisselen is. Het hele pakket van de Moto G5 Plus voelt goed aan, omdat hij op bijna elk vlak bovengemiddeld scoort voor zijn prijsklasse. Voldoende uitbreidingsmogelijkheden, een overzichtelijke interface, een snelle en handige vingerafdrukscanner, en een schone Android-versie met handige extra's doen de rest en maken van dit toestel de beste goedkope middenklasser van het moment.
Als een fabrikant twee versies van hetzelfde model uitbrengt is er meestal een duidelijk beter. De Moto G4 Plus weet bijvoorbeeld zijn meerprijs maar moeilijk te rechtvaardigen en de basisversie Wileyfox Spark is zo onaantrekkelijk dat Wileyfox hem niet eens in Nederland heeft uitgebracht. Lenovo heeft met de Moto G5-lijn echter een goede balans gevonden.
Refreshed from top to bottom, the Moto G5 Plus has redefined itself and it didn't even have to. The premium build, competent specs and low price will suit deal-seekers and phone enthusiasts alike.
At £170, the Moto G5 is still a true budget king. The Plus was always going to have to work hard to justify an £80 premium, and the scant few extra features it delivers don't really do enough. Sure, the rear camera is a welcome step up, and the battery gets a noticeable boost too, but the screen size hardly budges and build quality isn't a massive step up from the vanilla phone. For a handset with "Plus" in the title, that's sort of misleading. Whether the upgrades are worth the extra cash is entirely dependant on what you want to use the phone for. If you want your budget phone to handle gaming, shoot 4K video and work with Android Pay, then you'll want the Plus. The camera is much faster to use, and quality is better too; if photos that pop are all you care about, the Plus could be a winner. But if that all sounds like overkill and you just want a smartphone that does the basics brilliantly without costing a fortune, the standard Moto G5 still rules the roost.
If you've got £250 to spend on a phone, it should be this one.
The Good The splash-resistant Moto G5 Plus has a near stock version of Android Nougat, a good camera and video, and a metal build -- and it's extremely kind to your wallet. The Bad There's no NFC on the US model, and audio sounds tinny through the built-in speaker. The Bottom Line With a long list of features you want and only a few that you don't, there is no better budget phone than Motorola's Moto G5 Plus.
That's the crux of the Moto G5 Plus: you won't find a better phone for £250.
Once again, the Motorola Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus are great buys for those after a budget smartphone, particularly at the new, aggressive price points for both devices. The handsets are solid upgrades on their predecessors in most regards, and thanks to stock Android 7.0, they're easy to recommend over other alternatives.
For years, the regular Moto G has been the one to go for, while the Moto G Plus version hasn't been worth the extra cash. This year, the roles have flipped – and if you're a keen photographer, nothing comes close in this price bracket. Or the one immediately above it, for that matter. I really can't overstate how great the camera on this phone is, given most budget phones cut corners on the snapper. If you're not a keen photographer, though, there are better options out there. The Moto G5 Plus is a good phone, but its screen and (relative) price let it down. For £50 less you can get the Lenovo P2, and while its camera may not be as good, it's a better all-rounder for my money. The Honor 6X also offers a better overall experience for £25 less than the Moto G5 Plus. That said, if Lenovo wants to reclaim the Moto G budget crown next year, it's the Moto G5 Plus it should use as its starting point, not the Moto G5. It's a good handset, but with a price that's crept up year on year, the Moto G series has let itself be undercut by others. In other words, the Moto G series has been beaten at its own game – the game it wrote the rules for way back in 2013.

Q: C# SqlConnection (IIS issue?) "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized" I'm having quite an odd issue.
I have a C#/ASP.Net application that connects to an SQL database to retrieve information.
When I run it locally, it works perfectly. I'm able to retrieve data, no issues.
I tried to deploy it to an IIS server on my network, and I started to get an error:
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized
This generally means that a variable hasn't been initialized/has no value, which is weird since it runs locally. I rebuilt, re-deployed, made sure I've got all the files, etc.
I decided to try something else - I added a section of code (the File.WriteAllText).
private DataTable getStoredProcResults(string procName, string[][] parameters)
    {
        InitSql(true);

        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Temp\CONNECTION.LOG", connectionDetails.ConnectionString); //Added this
        using (SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(connectionDetails.ConnectionString))
        {
            sqlConn.Open();
            SqlCommand sqlComm = new SqlCommand(procName, sqlConn);
            foreach (string[] param in parameters)
            {
                sqlComm.Parameters.AddWithValue(param[0], param[1]);
            }

            sqlComm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
            da.SelectCommand = sqlComm;

            da.Fill(dt);
            sqlConn.Dispose();
        }

        return dt;

    }

This is where it gets weird. I'm able to write out the connectionDetails.ConnectionString to a text file, and it has the correct value.
I've compared the value on the IIS web server to the text file when I run it locally, and the connection string is exactly the same.
How is it able to write the connection string out to a text file, if the following line errors saying the ConnectionString isn't initialized?
Here's the full error on the IIS server when I visit the page:
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.

    {
        get { return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[ConnectionStringName.Split(',')[2]]; }
    }

and from web.config:
<add key="ConnectionStringName" value="name=BLAH1,BLAH2,BLAH3,BLAH4" />
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="BLAH3" connectionString="Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USER;Password=PASSWORD;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

A: Have you tried creating the command object before calling the connection's Open() method. So something like this:
SqlCommand sqlComm = new SqlCommand(procName, sqlConn);

SCDF Operational Standby for National Day Parade on 21 August 2021
As part of the National Day Parade on 21 August 2021, SCDF will be on standby to provide emergency response coverage for the event. This standby will also see the maiden deployment of SCDF's latest Command Vehicle.
The operational standby forces will comprise about 440 SCDF officers and 43 emergency vehicles deployed at various locations around the Floating Platform for potential incidents requiring firefighting and rescue, Emergency Medical Services, and Hazardous Materials (HazMat) response.
The Command Vehicle will serve as SCDF's Mobile Command Post. The platform integrates data from multiple sources to improve situational awareness of SCDF Commanders and enhance their command and control over the resources attending to large-scale and complex incidents. The multiple data sources include video feeds from SCDF responders, vehicles and drones, CCTV footage from Related Agencies and cameras directly overseeing the NDP 2021, as well as operational systems that aid in terrain mapping and simulating scenarios.
The Command Vehicle also features a video wall canvas which streamlines information gathering as well as translates data into visual dashboards for SCDF Commanders to make mission-critical decisions.


If you're a budding baker, the first thing you need is to have a well-appointed collection of baking pans. Yes, there are some specialty pans that you can probably do without (mini bundt pan, anyone?), but if you're serious about your desserts and baked goods, there's a solid set you'll want to have.
The choices for pans can be overwhelming. Do you want silver pans, nonstick pans, or something a little more out of the ordinary like silicone? For the most part, you'll get the most bang for your buck out of nonstick bakeware. Why? Because it will help your desserts come out of the pan effortlessly. No more broken bundt cakes or crumbly cupcakes for you.
Now all that's left to decide is which of the pans you'll use most in your baking endeavors. To help you choose, best whisk, best baking sheets and best mixing bowls here are the seven best baking pans on the market today.
Good cake pans aren't nearly as expensive as a stand mixer, and they last virtually forever, yet many of our kitchens are packed with thin, cheap cake pans that we picked up at the grocery store or had handed down to us. Get yourself something better!
A quality cake pan will give you cakes that bake up more evenly — no more wildly humped tops or burned bottoms — and come out of the pan better without any extra effort on your part.
Are you ready to become a better cake baker in one easy step? Here are three of our favorite cake pans that everyone should own.
What Makes the Best Cake Pan?
Professional bakers use two-inch-deep aluminum cake pans for just about everything from wedding cakes to biscuits. The aluminum heats quickly and evenly, while the high sides give cake batter plenty of room to rise while keeping the cake from overbaking.
As for what shapes and sizes to keep on hand, there are three that you'll use over and over again: a 9-inch round (two of these, ideally, if you've got the room), a 13×9-inch rectangle pan, and an 8-inch square. More on each of these below!


You're a student, a graduate or already in the middle of your professional life? You're interested in new challenges and you approach them courageously? You're looking for individual space in order to follow new ideas and have some individual influence?
Then get to know the IQZ better! We offer you excellent opportunities and chances to make a difference and to further your personal and professional development. We you are able to provide a wide range of creative options, good development opportunities and an attractive working environment to feel comfortable.

According to the Bible, God (in a cloud) gave Moses the tablets of the Ten Commandments. This had nothing to do with cloud computing, but there have been several jokes.
"I thought Moses received the first data from the cloud - and that was on a tablet. Must have been Apple. Or was that what Eve had?" was posted on Twitter on June 24, 2011. "If Moses had accessed the 10 Commandments from the Cloud using his iPad, he never would have smashed his tablet" was posted on Twitter on January 29, 2012.
The joke became frequent in 2015. "'Yeah, I used the cloud to download everything to this tablet' - Moses" was posted on Twitter on March 5, 2015. "Provoking #IT Thought of the Day: Moses was the first person in history to have a Tablet with access to the #Cloud! #NerdsRule" was posted on Twitter on March 6, 2015.
Cloud computing is an information technology (IT) paradigm, a model for enabling ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable resources (such as computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services). which can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet. Cloud computing allows users and enterprises with various computing capabilities to store and process data either in a privately-owned cloud, or on a third-party server located in a data center - thus making data-accessing mechanisms more efficient and reliable. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility.
The Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, are a set of biblical laws relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The commandments include instructions to worship only God, to honour one's parents, and to keep the sabbath, as well as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, theft, dishonesty, and coveting. Different religious groups follow different traditions for interpreting and numbering them.
@mopoke I thought Moses received the first data from the cloud - and that was on a tablet. Must have been Apple. Or was that what Eve had?
If Moses had accessed the 10 Commandments from the Cloud using his iPad, he never would have smashed his tablet.
If Moses had the first tablet in the cloud, would it have been Apple or Samsung?
Moses had the first tablet with connectivity to the cloud!
Have you ever considered that Moses was the first person to have a tablet and use the cloud.
that could connect to the cloud.
I never knew how technologically advanced Moses was.
Today I learned he had the first tablet that could connect to the cloud.


Aim of the present project is to help school-children's parents and their neighbors understand the "mutual support" program, which is taught to the children at schools by teachers. Via the understanding, the parents and neighbors are expected to help and encourage the children mutually support their peers with difficulties including mental distresses and being bullied. For this aim, we are going to develop teaching materials including a brochure and an audiovisual one for parents and their neighbors. This would help them understand their children's learning and practices of the mutual support. Lectures will be held for parents and neighbors to further understand the children's learning and practices, using and introducing the materials. Lectures for school-teachers to learn how to teach the education program of mutual support to children at schools will also be held.
The "mutual support" program, which was previously developed by our group of researcher-school teacher collaboration, with a great help of the TOYOTA Foundation, consists of two parts: mental health/illness literacy education and anti-bullying education. Children learn basic knowledge of mental health/illnesses, mechanism of development of bullying, and how they can help their peers as well as themselves when they are suffering the distresses. The program is to be delivered at classes by school teachers who are trained using brochures which we developed. The present development of the teaching materials and lectures using them would help parents'/neighbors' understanding of what children learn through the program, which may promote the children's everyday practice of the mutual support and its prevailing from schools to the communities. This, we believe, would finally lead to the development of warm-hearted, mutual-supporting society in our country.

Bat Out Of Hell writer Jim Steinman dead at 73
By Fraser Lewry
( Classic Rock )
The death of Bat Out Of Hell writer Jim Steinman has been confirmed by the Connecticut state medical examiner

Producer and songwriter Jim Steinman, most famous for his work on Meat Loaf's best-selling Bat Out Of Hell album, has died at the age of 73.
The news was confirmed by the Connecticut state medical examiner on Monday, although a cause of death has not yet been given.
A statement was also posted on Steinman's Facebook page (opens in new tab), reading, "It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honour this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.
"For now, do something that makes you feel young, happy and free. He'd want that for you!"
Steinman was born in New York City in 1947, and attended school at Amherst College in Massachusetts, where he wrote The Dream Engine, a musical that laid the foundation for much of his later work, including Bat Out Of Hell and Bonnie Tyler's 1983 hit Total Eclipse Of The Heart.
After several years working on the periphery of musical theatre (Bette Midler recorded a version of the the Bat Out Of Hell classic Heaven Can Wait in 1973), Steinman met Meat Loaf during a workshop for The Dream Engine – now titled Neverland – and the two decided to record the project.
"I never intended to do music, Steinman told Classic Rock. "I didn't think I was a good enough musician. I was gonna do film and theatre, but I figured, 'This is fun, let's do this. I didn't want it to be just a bunch of songs. I wanted it to feel like you were entering a cinematic or complete theatrical environment. No one could deal with it. They couldn't figure out what it would sound like finished."
Bat Out Of Hell was revved up with plenty of places to go. Songs like Paradise By The Dashboard Light, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad and For Crying Out Loud echoed the textbook teenage view of sex and life: irrepressible physical urges and unrealistic romantic longing, with enough musical bombast to make the outwardly trivial seem entirely epic.
"I was a teenager right when sex was going from being overly repressed in the early 60's to totally free in the 70's and it was very confusing," said Steinman. "Shit, I remember shaking like a leaf the first time I was having sex. Terrified I was doing everything wrong, and a little bit horrified."
"All I can say is that thank God we knew nothing about making albums," he added, because otherwise it couldn't have happened."
Bat Out Of Hell became a classic and a huge commercial success, selling over 50 million copies worldwide and famously spending over 500 weeks on the UK chart. and while neither Meat Loaf or Steinman would ever repeat its success, the two men worked together again on the follow-up, 1981's Dead Ringer, and on Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, released in 1993.
Steinman would go on to work with an array of artists including Bonnie Tyler, Billy Squier, Air Supply, Barry Manilow, Ian Hunter, the Sisters Of Mercy and Def Leppard, on the aborted sessions for what became their Hysteria album.
Most recently Steinman returned to Bat Out Of Hell, adapting it for his first love, musical theatre. The Neverland songs written for the stage finally ended up where he intended, with two new songs, What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most and Not Allowed To Love, performed alongside classics from Bat Out Of Hell, Dead Ringer and his own Bad For Good.
Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical opened in Manchester, UK, in February 2017, before transferring to London for a successful run at the Coliseum theatre. It went on to win the Best Musical award at the annual Evening Standard Theatre Award ceremony.
Back in 2000 Meat Loaf predicted this would never happen. "It'll never end up as a stage show," he said. "It can't. I mean, it just won't."
Steinman had the last laugh. It did.

Thousands take part in "The Independent Health and Buffalo Bills Health & Wellness Challenge"
During the six-week Challenge, which ran from Monday, October 6 through Sunday, November 16, participants logged more than 7,700 hours of exercise, while consuming nearly 80,000 servings of fruits and vegetables and drinking 133,750 glasses of water.
In addition to improving their health and well-being, all Challenge competitors were eligible to win prizes by meeting weekly goals and completing daily challenges. As a result, one very lucky Western New Yorker is now Super Bowl-bound! Susan Zydel of Hamburg was randomly selected to win the Challenge's grand prize – a pair of tickets to Super Bowl XLIX, on February 1, 2015, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., plus airfare and accommodations.
Other recent weekly prize winners included Sandra Murray of Painted Post, NY and Katherine Huebert of West Seneca. Sandra won an autographed Sammy Watkins jersey and Katherine was awarded two tickets and pregame on-field passes to the Buffalo Bills vs. Green Bay Packers game on Sunday, December 14 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Based on the success of the inaugural Challenge, Independent Health and the Buffalo Bills are working on a second effort to keep the drive toward health and wellness alive during the football offseason. Details will be made public in early 2015.
Participants also had the option of completing a one daily challenge for additional points to gain more chances to win. Each challenge integrated health tips to help them learn about fitness and nutrition to stay healthy even after the challenge is completed. Participants received daily emails as a reminder to log-in and learn about that day's challenge.

Chinese Diplomats' Aggressive Twitter Strategy on Display in Australia Dispute
China and Australia have seen tensions rise over the past year, after Canberra demanded an independent investigation into the origin of the coronavirus pandemic and China responded by escalating tariffs on Australian imports.
China has imposed tariffs on Australian barley, beef, wine, coal and other products, calling them a response to illegal Australian trade policies. Critics say Beijing's actions are part of a broader diplomatic offensive against an important U.S. ally in the region, which is seen as a key member of an emerging security alliance including India and Japan.
The dispute with Canberra has also highlighted how Beijing now wages diplomatic offensives on social media, especially Twitter.
Twitter has been blocked in China since 2009, but the government has embraced it as part of its foreign propaganda strategy, using the platform to amplify messages for foreign audiences.
A doctored tweet
Last month, a four-year Australian government probe recommended 19 former and current Australian soldiers face criminal investigations for killing 39 Afghans in 23 separate incidents during the course of the war.
On November 29, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian posted on Twitter a doctored photo depicting a grinning Australian soldier holding a bloodied knife to the throat of an Afghan child.
The graphic post brought condemnation from Australian lawmakers and Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who demanded China delete the image and formally apologize.
That demand was ignored and may have emboldened Chinese officials to do more. A new report by the Washington-based German Marshall Fund (GMF) shows that between November 27 and December 3, Australia was the third most mentioned country by Chinese government and state media Twitter accounts.
By way of comparison, Australia was only the 10th most referred to country over the previous two months. "China's propaganda apparatus has focused intensely on Australia over the past couple of days," the report said.
Zhao's controversial tweet, with nearly 73,000 likes and 20,000 retweets, appears to have expanded his account following by 10%. Analysts say it also appears to have promoted more nationalist sentiment inside China, where state media have covered the dispute from Beijing's perspective.
"This disinformation push in the Australia example has caused real blowback from international audiences," said GMF China analyst Bryce Barros, co-author of the report. "I think this is a social media strategy that Chinese diplomats and state media journalists will continue to push to promote nationalism at home and abroad."
By lashing out on Twitter and other platforms banned within China, Barros added, diplomats like Zhao are seeking to send the message to the international community, specifically the West, that China will not be pushed around.
An illusion of popular backing
While Zhao's tweet seemed to find a huge audience, a deeper dive by researchers revealed that not all of those accounts retweeting the diplomat are active followers.
According to Tim Graham, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian National University, 8% of the accounts that retweeted Zhao's post were created on November 30, a day after Zhao's controversial post.
Albert Zhang, a research intern at Australian Strategic Policy Institute, noted that by the institute's calculation, 35% of the accounts that liked Zhao's post had zero followers.
Researchers from GMF's Alliance for Securing Democracy Initiative in October reported an increase in Chinese "wolf warrior" diplomats on Twitter who emulate Russian disinformation tactics while adding several unique strategies.
"In this case, the spike in new Twitter accounts retweeting Zhao's divisive content shows that Chinese diplomats have used 'highly suspicious personas to create an illusion of popular backing,' " the researchers wrote.
Chinese officials appear to have publicly embraced the confrontational strategy. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng dismissed criticisms of "wolf warrior" diplomacy earlier this month, saying that "China's friend circle has not shrunk, but has become larger."
Yet most Western experts disagree. A new 14-country Pew Research Center survey shows that public views of China have grown more negative in recent years across many advanced economies, and unfavorable opinion has soared over the past year. Negative views of China increased most in Australia, where 81% now say they view the country unfavorably.
"The very aggressive Chinese 'wolf warrior' diplomacy in recent months was very badly received, and there is the increasing perception of China as a strategic rival," Niclas Frederic Poitiers, a research fellow at Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, told VOA.
Last week, European Union Ambassador to China Nicolas Chapuis said the bloc would seek common ground with the United States to stand up to Beijing's online bullying and intimidation, adding that China's image in Europe was worsening and Beijing must do its part to change the "extremely worrying erosion of goodwill that had taken place over the past year."

Q: IMacros - Trouble with extracting div element from a table I have recently been using IMacros to do some basic web navigation tests. I am currently looping a search query on one of our applications where I want to extract the final result (Total number of events captured) which is listed under the table as shown in the picture.
The bit I am failing to grasp is when I look at the element info, the div that contains the dynamic number doesn't have an ID. I have tried finding a solution but I can't see any examples similar to this. Row 15 in my IMacro is where my problem is, I end up with a CSV file with some columns populated with #EANF#
The Image shows the piece of data I am trying to extract along with its element info. Also pictured is my IMacro recording. Line 15 is where I'm going wrong:


The Camp Ripley-Pillsbury-Lake Alexander IBA is located in central Minnesota approximately 100 miles northwest of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area and within Morrison, Cass and Crow Wing counties. The Mississippi, Crow Wing and Gull rivers are significant water features within the landscape. This IBA encompasses an area of 155,432 acres. Public land areas within this IBA include Camp Ripley Military Reservation, Crow Wing County lands (1,693 acres), Cass County lands (7,465 acres), Pillsbury State Forest, Crow Wing State Park, the eastern portion of Meadowbrook Wildlife Management Area, the Little Nokasippi River State Wildlife Management Area and Lake Alexander Woods Scientific & Natural Area. The Nature Conservancy and Minnesota Power & Light also own land within the boundaries of this IBA.
The Camp Ripley-Pillsbury-Lake Alexander IBA supports the greatest known concentration of nesting Red-shouldered Hawks (a state listed Special Concern Species) in the state. Habitat consists of relatively large blocks of upland deciduous and riparian forests. In addition, 228 species of birds have been documented at Camp Ripley (Appendix A) since monitoring started in 1991. This includes 28 documented species of warblers, including 12 known breeding season species, including one of the most northerly reports of the Hooded Warbler.
Other listed species found within this IBA include the Bald Eagle, Trumpeter Swan, Yellow Rail, and Louisiana Waterthrush.
Another important feature within this IBA is the 21 miles of the Mississippi River and 27 miles of major tributaries (Crow Wing and Gull Rivers), which provide important riparian corridors and migration pathways.
The surrounding area continues to be cleared for agriculture, road and trail construction and the building of houses and cabins.
Cellular towers continue to be erected in this area and can be a hazard for migrating birds, along with numerous powerlines. DNR is working to keep new towers out of migratory corridors, and to keep tower heights low to avoid need for lighting and guy wires.
Two hydropower dams occur along the Crow Wing River. They may require future repairs, and reservoir operation plans could change in the future.
Private lands continue to be cleared for agriculture, roads and residential development, which may result in the displacement of Red-shouldered Hawks and other forest species.
Increasing development within this area contributes to the loss of critical habitat for birds by fragmentation and displacement of species. The military training within Camp Ripley may cause disturbance to birds, however, during the Bald Eagle?s nesting season buffer zones of 400 meters from the nests are enforced both on land and in the air. During the remainder of the year, there is a 200 meter buffer zone around the nests, offering protection during the critical nesting period.
There is a significant sand and gravel mining industry along Highway 210 that bifurcates the Camp Ripley portion from the Pillsbury State Forest portion of the IBA. Strong economic growth in the area continues to fuel demand for sand and gravel. New pits are opened as old ones close, or are required closer to areas of demand.
The private lands surrounding this IBA are sprawling with development due to tourism and the continued popularity of the Brainerd lakes area. The public land areas are relatively safe from development.

Down 13-0, getting late and how were we going to score? Then John Lynch came up with a huge interception, Shaun King led a drive that Mike Alstott finished off, and the momentum turned.
The winning score came midway through the fourth quarter but the Redskins still had a chance on a FG attempt as time expired. Former Buc Dan Turk sent down a terrible snap and the kick never got away.

Linda Yueh: History's 'greatest economists' and how their ideas can help us today
How can the ideas of history's greatest economists – from Adam Smith and David Ricardo through Joan Robinson and Milton Friedman to Douglass North and Robert Solow – help us think about the biggest economic challenges of our time? Linda Yueh's new book seeks to answer this question through studying 12 economists whose thinking has changed the world. She discusses her work with Artemis Photiadou.
The Great Economists: How Their Ideas Can Help Us Today is available to buy here.
What was your main aim in writing this book and how did you choose which individuals to include?
I was interested in finding ways to address our biggest economic challenges, such as why are wages so low? Learning the lessons from history and from the ideas of the great economic thinkers seemed like a good way to start. I also enjoy biographies, so this book offered a chance to write about the lives of some of the most influential people over the past two centuries. Although they were all successful in shaping the world around them, it was intriguing how many of them were critical of their productivity and not doing more!
Did studying economists from different schools of thought make you rethink any of your own assumptions about how the economy works?
Especially because my work is based on data, my empirical research including my Macroeconomics textbook (co-authored with Graeme Chamberlin) embody quite a lot of the 'new neoclassical synthesis' that characterises macroeconomics today. In other words, the work of many academic economists draws from the most pertinent parts of New Keynesianism, New Classical Economics, and Monetarists. Even Marxist thinking has come back in some fashion, though my work in my previous books (e.g., China's Growth) had shown how little of the communist approach to economics exists even in the most successful country to have adopted it.
Over the past decade the economics profession has been criticised for a perceived collective failure to identify the systemic weaknesses that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Do you feel that that critique is fair, and does it tell a story about the decline of the discipline from when it was defined by these 'great economists'?
It's a fair critique and strongly suggests that there are lessons to be learned from the 2008 crisis. There is a shift in the economics profession towards more empirical analysis, coupled with a push for greater engagement with the 'real world', both of which would help. Indeed, the Great Economists that I write about actively engaged with the big issues of the day even if the answers were imperfect. Today's academic economists tend to have a narrower focus, so there are fewer generalists than before. Generalists are the ones who would be well placed to spot links between the financial markets and economic forecasting since they would be working on the big economic picture, rather than the current divide between those who work on financial economics and the forecasters.
When it comes to responses to the financial crisis, would any of the individuals in the book have supported the British government's decision to pursue austerity?
I have a chapter dedicated to this very question. The chapter starts with the austerity debate during the 1930s when the Keynesian revolution took off and goes through the later critiques of Keynesianism by other great economists from the other side of spectrum who were opposed to government deficit spending. I then discuss the current austerity debate and how these decisions will affect our future economic growth.
One of the key themes in policy debates since the recession is the 'left behind'. Is there one particular economist whose thinking could help the losers of globalisation?
Paul Samuelson, who I write about in the chapter on globalisation, is best placed to help us think about how to help those who have been left behind. America's first Nobel Laureate developed the theory of factor price equalisation that showed how globalisation depresses the wages of workers in the sectors opened up to trade in rich countries. He was a generalist like the others, so he also wrote about how to fashion optimal economic policy to address this issue, which requires adopting the stance of an ethical observer. Akin to John Rawls' 'veil of ignorance,' Samuelson's idea is for policymakers to position themselves on a policy without knowing how they would be affected. But, he also pointed out how difficult it is to get policymakers to act sometimes. An advisor to US Presidents, he observed: "I can't think of a President who has been over-burdened by a knowledge of economics."
Considering the years you cover, it was almost inevitable that the 'great economists' would be white and all but one would be male. Would you say there is diversity in who influences economic thinking today, or are 21st century 'great economists' still white men?
The Great Economists of an earlier vintage who wrote the models that define the profession were indeed working at a time when there were numerous barriers for women and little diversity. But, their ideas have been modified by a more diverse set of economists. Even among the Greats in my book, I include the Cambridge economist Joan Robinson who further developed Keynesianism by establishing the new field of imperfect competition in the 1930s. I also write about Arthur Lewis from St Lucia whose work on development (Lewis model) was recognised with the award of the highest prize in economics, the Nobel Prize, in 1979. But, I also write about the persistent gender imbalance in the subject. Of the more than 50,000 academic and research economists whose work is listed in RePEc, less than one-fifth are women. But seeing the interesting research being done in economics, I'm confident that the 21st great economists would be a more diverse mix.

Linda yueh appears to have not appreciated the link between the sovereign political decion making on working of national economic and global economics and the principles underlying the law of conservation of energy in natural science analysis to the economic analysis within national boundaries as well as global world market operation both imperfect and perfect markets.
That said, you may have to review your analysis of historical role played by each economist in state policy and effects of application of their ideas in real world.
An important missing point also the effects of technology change on economics at micro,macro and global macro economics worked out and implemented by state and non state entities in their respective bid to maximise individual and national interests.

The new ChromaLink™ Biotin 345S is faster and easier than the traditional and destructive HABA:Avidin displacement biotin measurement method. Although widely used by researchers labeling antibodies and other molecules with biotin, the HABA:avidin method for estimating the extent of biotinylation has limitations. Because there are not many other methods available for estimating the extent of biotinylation, researchers using the HABA:avidin method have learned to live with some disadvantages. ChromaLink™ Biotin 345S accurately determines the degree of biotin incorporation without any of these disadvantages.
Kit version contains sufficient material to biotinylate 5 – 50 mg of protein and delivers 85% labeled protein recovery with essentially no contamination from non-reacted or hydrolyzed reagent.


Drobo has been on a roll over the past two years, adding 7 new products to its line of storage appliances in that time. Today, Drobo released the Drobo 5N2 NAS, billed as the fastest 5-bay Drobo NAS yet. At $499 for an "empty" device that can be filled with a mixture of 3.5-inch HDDs or SSDs, the Drobo 5N2 offers a bump up in performance for connected home users, media professionals, and small businesses.
The device comes with two 1Gbps Ethernet ports that can be bonded for twice the throughput, also acting as redundant ports in the case of a router failure. The processor in the device has been upgraded to provide increased speed and throughput as well. The 5N2 can handle a 64TB volume size, and the device can be set up to create a smaller backup volume for use with Time Machine or other backup solutions.
Like the other recent Drobo products, the 5Ns has an internal battery backup for zero data loss during a power outage. That eliminates the "RAID 5 write hole" issue common with other RAID solutions that can corrupt data. The 5N2 also performs data scrubbing in background, verifying all user data and metadata on a regular basis, searching for and repairing corruption where it is found.
Drobo's BeyondRAID technology makes it easy to hot swap drives to replace those that fail or to increase capacity as time passes. Built-in protection from up to two simultaneous drive failures is possible, and rebuilds are done automatically.
Free Drobo Apps can be automatically installed on the Drobo 5N2, providing the ability to access the device remotely from iOS devices via DroboAccess or perform instant backups of photos via DroboPix. Two Drobo 5N2s can be placed at different locations, then replicated via Drobo DR -- a complete disaster recovery solution. Through Drobo Apps, the device can run a host of developer tools like Java, MySQL, Python, Ruby, Subversion, and even WordPress. Those who want to use a Drobo 5N2 as a media hub can fire up Firefly, Plex, Media Tomb, MiniDLNA or Sickbeard.
