Receding seawater left swathes of normally submerged beach exposed in San Diego, California, on Sunday, January 15, as the area was hit by tsunami waves triggered by the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano.This video by Shawn White shows the water receding before crashing back in and submerging the shore again. People can be seen walking on shoreline rocks while later, another person surfs in the choppy cross waves.White told Storyful he shot this video after waking up early to a tsunami warning."What really blew my mind is how far the water went back from the shore," White said. "Really Wild to see and frightening."The National Tsunami Warning Center cancelled its tsunami advisory for San Diego on Sunday evening. Credit: Shawn White via Storyful
Kazakhstan puts unrest death toll at 225
The bodies of 225 people killed in unrest in Kazakhstan last week, including 19 members of the security forces, were delivered to morgues throughout the country, the prosecutor general's office said on Saturday. The figure included civilians and armed "bandits" killed by security forces, Serik Shalabayev, the head of criminal prosecution at the prosecutor's office, told a briefing. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev turned to a Russia-led military bloc for help during the unrest and sidelined his former patron and predecessor Nursultan Nazarbayev by taking over the national security council.

(Reuters) -GlaxoSmithKline on Saturday said it had rejected a 50-billion-pound offer from Unilever for its consumer goods arm, saying it "fundamentally undervalued" the business and its future prospects and that it would stick to its plan of spinning off the unit. Unilever confirmed the approach earlier on Saturday, saying the Glaxo unit would be a "strong strategic fit" as it continues to re-shape its portfolio spanning food, beauty and home care brands. It could also transform Unilever into a formidable beauty and personal care purveyor, taking on the likes of Estee Lauder and L'Oreal, while for GSK, it could bring much needed relief from investor pressure that has been building over the past year.

Q: How do I configure external-dns to create A Record, not CNAME I am following Linode's tutorials on using helm to deploy to Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) and I have reached the section on configuring external DNS which uses bitnami's external-dns package to configure a domain on Linode's DNS servers.
When I try to annotate my service, using exactly the same command as in the video, it results in a CNAME alias and no A/TXT Records.
The logs from the external-dns show

time="2022-01-01T14:45:10Z" level=info msg="Creating record." action=Create record=juicy type=CNAME zoneID=1770931 zoneName=mydomain.com
time="2022-01-01T14:45:11Z" level=info msg="Creating record." action=Create > record=juicy type=TXT zoneID=1770931 zoneName=mydomain.com
time="2022-01-01T14:45:11Z" level=error msg="Failed to Create record: [400] [name] Record conflict - CNAMES must be unique" action=Create record=juicy type=TXT zoneID=1770931 zoneName=mydomain.com

These logs imply that external-dns is first creating a CNAME record (which isn't required/wanted at all) and then attempting to create a TXT record which uses the same hostname as the newly-created CNAME, which obviously isn't allowed. And it is clearly not attempting to create the A Record at all.
I would really appreciate any info about why this might be happening and what I can do to correct it. For clarity, the desired result is one A Record and one TXT Record, both with the hostname 'juicy'

A: It appears this is due to external-dns applying some logic which detects if the target is an Elastic Load Balancer.
After creating the CNAME alias, external-dns is then trying to create a TXT Record with the same hostname, which is failing because this is not allowed. To get around this, external-dns provides a --txt-prefix flag which allows you to prefix the TXT hostname with a string, thus making it different from the newly-created CNAME record.
Arguably, external-dns does not need to switch from A Record to CNAME in this instance because Linode's Load Balancers have IP addresses, not domain names. An issue has been raised on GitHub.
If you're following Linode's excellent tutorial and/or you're installing external-dns with helm, the --txt-prefix flag needs to be set at installation:
helm install external-dns bitnami/external-dns \
  --namespace external-dns --create-namespace \
  --set provider=linode \
  --set linode.apiToken=$LINODE_API_TOKEN \
--set txtPrefix=your-prefix-string

(namespace and other values are included to match the Linode tutorials)
The rest of the tutorial can then be followed as is.

A: You can create the A record in route-53 i am not sure you are on which cloud or so.
in document search for aws.preferCNAME you can see in deployment that's where changes need to be configured.
External DNS will create the A record also please check your deployment configuration.

there could be chances, --aws-prefer-cname line with CNAME config which is making external DNS force to create CNAME instead of A record.
Remove CNAME config and check by default it will create the A record.

Marianne McLaughlin on *The Spitfire Grill*
Here are some outtakes from an e-mail interview with Marianne McLaughlin,
the director of The Spitfire Grill (at the Civic's Studio Theatre, March
19-April 11). A fuller preview of the show appears in tomorrow's Inlander, pp. 19-20.
Synopsis at the musical's official site is here.
For three production photos from The Spitfire Grill, visit the new inlander.com (starting tomorrow, March 18), click on "Arts & Culture" and then "Theater-Blog" ... and you'll see the same content as here -- at least, going back to Feb. 12, 2010 (but not the four and half years' worth of blog posts at stagethrust.blogspot.com before that).
INLANDER: If you had to choose, would you say that this musical is more about Percy's or
Hannah's redemption? The ex-con or the crusty matriarch?
McLAUGHLIN: The bond that Percy and Hannah form as the show progresses, even if they are not aware of it, roots itself in a need for redemption, but also the realization
that they must face their demons and then finally forgive themselves.
What particular song has been most complicated to stage, both vocally and in terms of choreography and blocking?
"Shoot the Moon," while not vocally the most difficult, had the cumbersome detail of large mailbags and a wheelbarrow to deal with in the small space representing the seating area of the grill in the Studio Theatre. Troy Nickerson [the Civic's resident director] did assist on some of the large-group numbers, but this particular one had to be my own work in progress,
as I was never satisfied with it and constantly making changes, finally coming
to the decision that less is more.
Which tunes will the audience be humming on the way out?
"Colors of Paradise" always seems to stay with me after it's been sung.
When Percy moves into her new, Spartan room at Hannah's,
it's like her old prison cell. Any special lighting effects at this point?
The bedroom at the end of the dark hall is indicated as we
see it through Percy's imagination. Because this is the Studio Theatre and
because the only time her room is indicated is in her first song, "A Ring
Around the Moon," the choice was made not to include it in the set design. In
this case, it is the job of the actor [Manuela Peters] — with the aid of some
dark, shadowy lighting — to suspend the audience's belief and take them there.
Is "A Ring Around the Moon" Percy's optimistic song of liberation?
The song serves two purposes: exposition at the beginning of the show and indicating Percy's decision to start a new life. There is certainly optimism, but there are also strong feelings of uncertainty as to whether she will be accepted by the residents of Gilead — and whether she will succeed in finally putting her past to rest.
When the townspeople gather at the grill, how are you staging the overlapping songs?
I wanted to communicate to the audience that this was another morning at the grill — everyone's regular meeting place, seeing the people who they have known all their lives — the caveat being, on this particular morning, the arrival of Percy Talbot. So while the staging is
stylized in many ways, I wanted it to be relaxed and natural. The overlapping and difficulty of this number [reflects] the growing agitation and curiosity over Percy's arrival.

North Carolina State Representative Zack Hawkins Experiences a Day in the Life of a Durham Veteran Receiving Support at Home
NC state representative Zack Hawkins (left) meets home care client Mr. Mendenhall (seated) and his wife
State Representative Zack Hawkins, an active supporter of home health care, recently visited with a Durham family who rely on services to stay safe at home.
Representative Hawkins visited with a constituent, Mr. Aubrey Mendenhall, an armed service Veteran with a wonderful sense of humor. As a young US Sargent in Germany, he saw the prettiest lady working at the base general PX store…and spent the next thirty days asking her out. Margarete finally agreed and they've been together for more than 65 years.
Some five years ago, Mr. Mendenhall was diagnosed with Dementia – a condition characterized by a decline in memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking skills that affect a person's ability to perform everyday activities. His dementia makes it difficult for him to manage without constant supervision and puts him at a high risk of falling. A certified nursing assistant (CNA) comes to help him bathe, toilet, and dress. "The aide's goal is to help Mr. Mendenhall stay as independent as possible. Make sure he doesn't fall or get an infection that can put him in the hospital," said BAYADA Home Health Care Clinical Manager Megan Russell, RN.
The Department of Veterans Affairs covers 11 hours of aide services per week. Outside those 11 hours, Margarete is his constant companion and support. She uses the 1 ½ – 2 hour breaks she receives each day to perform other necessary tasks such as running to the grocery store, to a doctor's appointment, or to simply have an uninterrupted cup of tea. It is her only break from caregiving. At 90 years old, dealing with her own health issues, and after five years of serving as Mr. Mendenhall's primary caregiver, Margarete finds herself exhausted!
With tears in her eyes, their only daughter, Kathy, commented that she is considering quitting her job as a nurse and move in with her parents so that she can better manage their care. While carrying for a loved one with a chronic illness can be profoundly meaningful, it can also be overwhelming as the physical, emotional, financial tolls compound on the family caregivers.
"Having personally been touched with seeing my mother and aunt provide care to my grandmother, I understand how important it is to be able to take care of one's family," said Representative Hawkins. "And as a lawmaker, we need to support seniors and their families. To ensure they can live a full life at home. Care at home is an important option, less expensive, and where people want to be."
According to AARP's online article, Caregiver Burnout, "over time, that physical and psychological wear and tear can lead to caregiver burnout – a condition of feeling exhausted, listless and unable to cope." Russell has reached out to the VA case manager to explore respite care which would allow for the family some much needed breaks. The Mendenhalls want to stay together, however, they need some additional support to effectively care for themselves while maintaining their responsibility to their loved one.
"In-home care programs provide one-on-one care by licensed nurses or certified nursing assistants under the care of a physician," said BAYADA Area Director Lee Dobson. "They allow families to stay together and be safe at home. It really gives the state more for less and is clearly part of the health care budget solution."
Client Spotlight: BAYADA NJ Client Jim Davies Turns Home Visit into an Opportunity to Fight for Nursing Coverage
BAYADA client Jim Davies (center, seated) hosted a home visit with Assemblyman Benson (upper left)
When BAYADA Home Health Care client Jim Davies received a notice in the mail last year that his insurance would be transitioning to another agency, he tried not to panic. After all, the letter stated there would be no change, he would still receive coverage for his home health care nursing and personal care home health aide services.
However, Jim was not convinced. The 66-year-old, who suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a diving accident 20 years ago, is nearly paralyzed from the neck down. He relies on his nurses for his complex medical needs, which include wound care, range of motion exercises, mechanical transfers to and from bed, medication administration, catheter care, and care to prevent a serious complication called autonomic dysreflexia, which can lead to seizures, stroke, or even death.
As a former sheriff and local fire commissioner, Jim is used to working collaboratively with others to make things happen. That's why he immediately called a case manager at the insurance company, who reiterated what was explained in the letter, his home health care coverage would not change.
Coverage denied
Fast forward to the end of the year when Jim received another letter, this time from the new insurance company. Despite written and verbal assurance that his coverage would not change, the new company denied his home health care services, insisting Jim was stable enough and no longer needed nursing care.
Jim reached out to his BAYADA Mercer County Adults (MCA) office Director Meghan Hansen and Clinical Manager Sharon Wheelock who appealed the decision on his behalf, to no avail. That's when they turned to BAYADA Government Affairs Area Director Louise Lindenmeier, who suggested Jim reach out to New Jersey Assemblyman Daniel Benson, a member of the state Health and Senior Services Committee.
Legislative home visit leads to positive change
"When I called Assemblyman Benson's office, I wasn't sure what the response was going to be, but I was pleasantly surprised," says Jim. "The assemblyman made me feel that as his constituent, my problem was a major concern, and he owned it."
Assemblyman Benson visited Jim and his wife of 40 years Rosemary at their home to witness, first-hand, the critical role home care nurses play in Jim's health and well-being. During the visit, Assemblyman Benson also learned about the catastrophic medical consequences of stopping Jim's nursing care and BAYADA's unsuccessful efforts to appeal the denial from the insurance company.
Following the visit with Jim, Assemblyman Benson jumped into action. He joined BAYADA Managed Care (MCO) Director Pamela Soni, BAYADA Area Director for Pediatrics Managed Care (MCP) Stephanie Perna, and Louise for a meeting with the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance to discuss Jim's case. In addition, he personally contacted the insurance company to negotiate the contract, resulting in a reversal of the denial. Thanks to his efforts, the issue was resolved within two weeks.
"It is really important to educate politicians on how insurance changes can impact their constituents," says Jim, who encourages others in similar situations to reach out to legislators who may be more than willing to help. "Assemblyman Benson should be recognized for his prompt and professional response to my needs."
Assemblyman Benson considered it a privilege to play a role in helping Jim. "It was my honor to work with Mr. Davies to ensure that he received the care he needs and deserves," he says. "As legislators, it is our sworn duty to represent our constituents, and that means lending our assistance whenever possible, whether by simply cutting through red tape or elevating a situation to a higher level so that it is promptly addressed. I would encourage those in need to reach out to their elected representatives to learn what they can do for them."

GAO Federal: Advocacy Spares BAYADA's Home Health Practice $11 million Annually
GAO's 2019 Federal Affairs Team with Senator Tom Carper (D-DE)
BAYADA GAO's federal affairs team supported both the Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare (PQHH) and the National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) in lobbying both Congress and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to reduce the reimbursement cut mandated by the Patient Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) from 8.36% to 4.06%. This reduction in the rate cut, effective January 1, 2020, saves BAYADA more than $11 million in annual gross revenues. While the industry was successful in having the reimbursement cut reduced by more than 50%, it still faces further cuts based on behavioral assumptions. This partnership of BAYADA and national associations will continue into 2020 with the goal to eliminate any further cuts made based on assumed behaviors and limiting future reimbursement cuts and increases to 2%.
BAYADA led the Partnership for Quality Home Health's (PQHH) first annual Home Visit Program by providing specific guidelines so that the industry continues to be consistent in its efforts to educate legislators on the value of home health. Each quarter BAYADA was represented in several tactics (office visits locally or in Washington D.C., action alerts, town halls, comment submissions) that essentially led to the reduced reimbursement cut, and led a federal home visit in Florida with Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL). BAYADA continues to be recognized for our grassroots efforts on a national level within the industry.
GAO, along with the Hospice Action Network (HAN), lobbied MedPAC and successfully reversed MedPAC's recommendation to cut hospice reimbursement in 2020 by 2%, saving BAYADA a potential revenue loss of nearly $1.5 million in 2020.
NC: SHE, GAS, and RAN Offices Demonstrate Advocacy by Building Relationships and Sharing Clients' Stories
Sen. Alexander (back left) visits BAYADA client Rusty (front left) and his nurse, Vikki (front right) with BAYADA staff Cheryl, Jillian, and Rusty's mother (back right).
GAO can't do it alone, and in North Carolina we are proud to have so many employees that understand the impact of sharing their voice on behalf of all our staff and clients!
SHE and GAS Host Impactful Home Visit
Last month two offices, SHE and GAS, teamed up to host a home visit with newly elected Senator Ted Alexander. Our BAYADA team of advocates, including MIM Division Director Joe Seidel, GAS Clinical Associate Cheryl Reading and GAS Client Services Manager Jillian Fernald, as well as the client's long-time nurse Vikki, spoke passionately about our services and the challenges we face in care delivery.
The visit was a grand success! The importance of home care and the work you do every day was certainly not lost on Sen. Alexander, whose wife and daughter are both nurses: "Our goal," he explained, "is to keep families where they belong, together and at home." These types of interactions lay the foundation for support of our legislative asks because the decision-makers see first-hand the impact home care has on families.
RAN Builds Relationships in a Different Way
BAYADA Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with Senator Wiley Nickel
Last month, the RAN office hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the grand opening of our new state-of-the-art simulation lab and training center. This was no regular ribbon cutting ceremony where the office invited current and prospective nurses to tour and see-in-action the simulation lab. We took the opportunity to educate lawmakers on the scope and breadth of what is possible in the home by inviting Senator Wiley Nickel to welcome the group. We also included Ed Troha, Vice President for the NC Chamber, who has four nurses in his family, to speak about the importance of the training center in job creation.
Additionally, former Senior Chairman for House Appropriations Nelson Dollar issued a proclamation to show his strong and constant support for home care. This center allows BAYADA to train nurses using real life scenarios that helps develop confidence, competence, and builds career-building skills to home health care nurse. Increasing awareness among legislators and other community leaders on the benefits of home care helps garner support as we work toward our legislative goals.
Thank you to the many North Carolina staff and families that regularly share their voices in advocacy! To find out how you can get more involved, contact GAO Director Lee Dobson today!
South Carolina Representative Garry Smith Visits Local Family to Learn How Home Care Impacts his Constituents
Rep. Garry Smith (left) visits home health care client Emma (held), mom Gina (right) and their in-home BAYDA nurse Danielle (second from left).
South Carolina State Representative Garry Smith (R, District 27) visited a local family in his district to learn how his constituents and many South Carolinian families rely on home care to keep their loved ones together at home and out of more expensive settings. Rep. Smith is one of the many legislators that Hearts for Home Care advocates bring into home care clients' homes to show them how federal, state, and local policies affect home care recipients and their families.
During his visit, Rep. Smith met 21-month old BAYADA Home Health Care client Emma Ferguson, Emma's mother Gina, and Emma's in-home BAYADA Nurse Danielle Rian. Emma was born with a Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity, which causes Emma to experience severe breathing problems, pain, and other symptoms. At her young age, Emma has already had several surgeries and currently still requires use of a Gastrostomy-Jejunostomy (G-J) Tube to assist with her feedings and medication management throughout the day. At birth, state Medicaid authorized Emma to receive private duty nursing (PDN) services in her home so that Emma can remain safely and comfortably at home with her mother.
In March, Emma's PDN services were terminated when Medicaid determined that her skill level no longer qualified her to receive care in her home. From March until May, Emma attended a local day care facility for children with complex needs so that her mother could continue to work. During this time, Emma was hospitalized on several occasions and required ventilator support due to respiratory illness. In May 2018, Emma's mother Gina reapplied for PDN services, and Emma was able to start receiving care at home again. Emma currently receives 32 hours of PDN services in her home, and since the reauthorization, she has not been readmitted to the hospital.
Emma's mother Gina stated, "I'm grateful Rep. Smith was able to visit our home to see how Emma and other medically-complex children can grow up and thrive with in-home nursing. These kids deserve some normalcy in their lives, and I have seen first-hand how much better she does when she can be with me at home rather than in an institution. She only receives 32 hours a week, and this allows her to receive the care she needs in the best place–her home–and allows me to be able to work to support my family."
After the home visit, Rep. Smith said, "visiting sweet Emma and her family has opened my eyes to what home care means to my constituents and to the many South Carolinians who depend on Medicaid home care to stay with their families and out of higher-cost settings. I look forward to exploring ways we can help keep families together while at the same time effectively managing the state's budget."
"One-on-one nursing services have allowed Emma to remain safely at home under the Medically Fragile Children's Medicaid Nursing Waiver. This program is an alternative to nursing home placement at a lower cost to the state," said Melissa Allman, Hearts for Home Care advocate and Director of Government Affairs for BAYADA. "In-home nursing care helps minimize deterioration and can prevent costly hospitalizations as staff can address subtle changes in the medical condition before it becomes serious. I hope that more legislators continue to learn about how cost-effective these services are to the state, and how valuable they are in keeping South Carolinian families together."
Home visits like this one really give elected officials a better understanding of how their decisions on key issues like Medicaid impact real people who are seeking to remain safely at home with their families.

Assemblywoman Speight Meets ESS Client on Home Visit
Assemblywoman Shanique Speight is new to the state legislature, which makes it all the more important to introduce her to home care right away.
Essex County State Assistive Care (ESS) Director Lisa Minnella and her Clinical Manager Bonnie Caterson arranged for the assemblywoman to meet one of their special clients, 92-year-old Ms. Tisdale. Ms. Tisdale lives in Assemblywoman Speight's district and has no family in the area. She needs certified home health aide (CHHA) services to assist her with the tasks she cannot do and help her be as independent as she can be in her own home.
The assemblywoman was very happy to meet Ms. Tisdale and spend time learning more about how home care services benefit her constituents and keep so many seniors in their homes.

NJ Client & Family Advocacy Manager Shares Her Own Client Experience During Recent Home Visit
I had the pleasure of hosting Carol Murphy, Assembly candidate in Legislative District 7, for a home visit to meet my daughter Mary. As a 20 year long client of Mt. Laurel Pediatrics (MLP), Mary is the epitome of what home care can help families to achieve and we wanted Ms. Murphy to experience that first-hand. Clinical Manager Chantel Denny and Administrative Coordinator Brooke Fitzpatrick discussed some of the challenging staffing issues that occur due to low reimbursement rates and difficulty attracting qualified nurses. Registered Nurse Stacey Sutton shared some of the varied tasks that she performs in order to keep Mary healthy and safe at home and at school. Ms. Murphy made a commitment, if elected to work with us to make home health care nursing a more attractive career option in the state.

NC: Together We Get Results
Submitted by Lee Dobson, Area Director, NC Government Affairs (GAO)
Legislative successes, like the Medicaid rate increase for nursing last year and the home health aide increase this year, don't magically happen. Legislative successes start with an identified need — low Medicaid rates made it impossible to pay people what they are worth — and end with legislators supporting jobs in the community and keeping families together by investing in home health care. Every step along the way, our Hearts for Home Care ambassadors carried our unified message to decision-makers. Our cumulative actions over the years, including home and district visits, legislative round tables with lawmakers, responding to calls to action, attending lobby days, etc., made all the difference. Individually and collectively our shared voices got results. Join us to be a Heart for Home Care ambassador.

Home / NFL / Bucs look to pick up win against tough Redskins team

Bucs look to pick up win against tough Redskins team
Ethan Curtis November 9, 2018	NFL, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 121 Views
As the second half of the season approaches, the Bucs have already had some quarterback controversy and a change at defensive coordinator, but still have some hope for the rest of the season.
The offense has been good, but to an extent
No matter who has been under center for the Bucs, the offense good and should be able to win more games for this team than it actually does. They rank first in pass yards per game and are second in total offense. The problem has been inconsistency at the position.
Whether it's Ryan Fitzpatrick (a.k.a Fitzmagic) or Jameis Winston both have shown flashes of good football as well as some really bad games. With the aging of Fitzpatrick, poor decisions of Winston and the Bucs sitting at 3-5, questions about the future of the position and head coach Dirk Koetter loom over the team.
Much of this narrative could change with a win at home against the Redskins who currently sit atop the NFC East. With the Redskins ranking in the bottom half of the league in passing defense, Fitzpatrick will need to take advantage of the secondary if the Bucs are going to win the game.
Even with the Bucs defense being as bad as its been all season, they give up a league worst 34.4 points per game, don't expect Alex Smith to go out there slinging it for Washington. The Bucs will have to lean on the offense and can't afford to put themselves in a comeback situation like they have so many times this year.
Injuries will play a role
Star wide receiver Mike Evans and offensive lineman Demar Dotson returned to practice after as both suffered knee injuries. Evans will look to bounce back after only recording one catch last week and Dotson will be needed to slow down a strong Redskins pass rush led by Jonathan Allen and Matt Ioannidis.
One big issue for the Redskins will be how their offensive line fares with three starters missing. Adrian Peterson has been a welcomed surprise to the team this year, but may find some issues this week.
The Redskins have not trailed in their wins this season and haven't led in their losses meaning if one team can get out to an early start, the game may be over quicker than people think.

Q: String list contains of all sub-components String list G is :
[0] : {"1,2,5"}
[1] : {"1,2,4,5,6"}
[2] : {"2,4,6"}
[3] : {"1,4,6"}

With the following commands, we conclude that "1,4" exists in the List G[3] :
if (G[i].Contains("1,4")) { //code here }

How to modify the above commands, that in addition feature (Contains), "1,4" exists in the List G[1]?
Program codes
    for (int i = 0; i < candid.Count; i++)
    {
        foreach (TransactionTP b in transactions)
        {
            string search = candid[i];
            var searchNumbers = search.Split(',').Select(int.Parse).ToList();
            for (int j = 0; j < G.Count; j++)
            {
                IEnumerable<int> numbers = G[j].Split(',').Select(int.Parse);
                int idx = 0;
                foreach (var number in numbers)
                {
                    if (number == searchNumbers[idx])
                    {
                        idx++;
                    }
                    if (idx == searchNumbers.Count)
                    {
                        arraye[i] = arraye[i] + (b.transactionUtility);
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Update:
The order of the searched term matters.

A: In order to preserve the ordering of the set you are matching go (4,1 in this case), you will need to evaluate each string, keeping track of where you are in the match.
string[] G = new[]
{
    "1,2,5",
    "1,2,4,5,6",
    "2,4,6",
    "1,4,6"
};

string search = "1,4";
var searchNumbers = search.Split(',').Select(int.Parse).ToList();

for (int i = 0; i < G.Length; i++)
{
    // Convert the string into an enumeration of numbers
    IEnumerable<int> numbers = G[i].Split(',').Select(int.Parse);

    // Index to keep track of the search
    int idx = 0;

    // Loop through the input set sequentially
    foreach (var number in numbers)
    {
        // Check if the input matches the next expected number
        if (number == searchNumbers[idx])
        {
            idx++;
        }

        if (idx == searchNumbers.Count)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("String {0} matched", G[i]);
            break;
        }
    }
}

A: Replace your single Contains call with a method that does this:
bool passes = false;
for(int i = 0; i < G.Length; i++)
{
    List<string> temp = new List<string>();
    if(G[i].Contains(","))
    {
        temp = G[i].Split(",");
    }
    else
    {
        temp = G[i];
    }

    if(temp.Contains("1") && temp.Contains("4")
    {
        passes = true;
    }
}

return passes;

This eliminates the possibility of matching on "10" or "41" etc etc
It also will not care if your elements are sorted, even though you said they are.  It will also match regardless of the number of entries between "1" and "4" in the list.
You could spice this up to take any number of inputs that you want to match before qualifying as a match, I'll leave that to you if you want to make it so.

Ohio State Football: Buckeyes 2021 Spring Preview
Author : kimporebar
It was Saturday around 4:30 p.m. ET. The sun was out, but the air was crisp. My three-person family, as we tend to do on lazy weekend days, was spread out into three different areas of our house. And as I always do when I find myself alone on those such days, I started fiddling with the ESPN App to see what was on.

https://ryanwhiteconference.hrsa.gov/fcs-2021-youngstown-st-vs-south-dakota-live-online-spring-college-football/
On this Saturday, as it has been for the past two Saturdays and as it will be until mid-May, what it was, was football. College football. Like, a whole lot of college football. For a moment, lost amid college hoops, baseball, softball and NBA All-Star chatter, I forgot about college football, and I'm betting you did, too.
That's why I am here now, to remind you that the NCAA's second tier, FCS, is currently playing an abbreviated spring season to make up for its coronavirus-canceled autumn. Some FCS schools played a handful of nonconference contests six months ago, but the entirety of the FCS (OK, everyone except the Ivy League) is playing now. In addition, a handful of Division II teams kicked off last weekend with the majority slated to start their spring seasons over the coming days.
Is it Ohio State-Michigan? No. But we didn't get Ohio State-Michigan last fall either, did we? Who cares if it's a mix of schools you've heard of (North Dakota State! James Madison!) and schools you've never heard of or schools you've heard of only because they play SEC schools every November (wassup, Mercer!).
Your mantra for watching the 2021 spring season should be the same as it was during the 2020 fall schedule: just be happy we have games at all. Between overhyped Power 5 spring scrimmages, the USFL, XFL and whatever this fan-driven league thing we have now is (Fan Controlled Football), we the football fans have always wanted to make football work as the flowers bloomed and the creepy mall Easter Bunnies started showing up.
Finally, we have it! We have HBCUs exchanging smack on social media and smackdowns on Saturdays. We have decades-plus rivalries resumed in classic conferences, such as the Southern, Missouri Valley and Big Sky. We have Eastern Washington QB Eric Barriere slinging it around and creating buzz as a sleeper pick for next month's NFL draft. We have Albany Great Danes QB Jeff Undercuffler, who looks like that one kid in your youth league who looked like he was a 35-year-old man, standing in the pocket at 6-foot-5, 231 pounds. In a division of football that's supposedly one step slower and a few inches shorter than the FBS, he ain't.
And yeah, his school's mascot is a Great Dane. In FCS, they also have the Blue Hens, Governors, Sycamores, Racers, Lumberjacks, Delta Devils and Fighting Camels. The players who proudly wear those names and colors -- not to mention those woodchips, pitchforks and furry humps -- have worked just as hard to play as the stars you know from the College Football Playoff. They've also been forced to employ more patience than players from those big-time programs because they've had to sit and wait until the spring. Some left, but most stayed. Why? Because they love it. And we should love them for it.
Back to normal? We're getting there. A year ago in this space, it was all about college football just days before the shutdown. Now, we'd give anything just to see 120 guys stretch before a March offseason practice.
The 152nd season of college football is six months away, but the second spring dealing with COVID-19 is here. There's light at the end of the scrimmage. Teams are planning on spring practice without interruptions. The NCAA has not intervened. Sure, there might be a stoppage or two, but with the coronavirus vaccines increasing production, we can turn our attention to position battles, new players, new coaches and transfers.
Last year actually proved college football can get by without spring practice. (Really, did you notice a drop the quality of play?) But there is a sense of renewal each year at this time. For that, we should be thankful.
We have something resembling normal. Grab a lawn chair, bring your cooler, wear a mask. Spring practice is back. Here's 21 things to look forward to in spring 2021.
1. Starting over: There may not be room at the top, but at least there's hope of new blood. The nation's three most dominant programs all face some degree of rebuild. Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State will use the spring trying to replace a combined nine CBS Sports All-Americans. The Big Three have lost the projected No. 1 overall NFL Draft choice (Clemson's Trevor Lawrence), the Heisman Trophy winner (Alabama's DeVonta Smith), the Davey O'Brien winner (Alabama's Mac Jones), Outland the Trophy winner (Alabama's Alex Leatherwood), the Rimington Trophy winner (Alabama's Landon Dickerson) and the Doak Walker winner (Alabama's Najee Harris). All that said, it will be an upset if the Big Three doesn't all start 2021 in the top five and all make the College Football Playoff. Again. They have combined to win 11 consecutive conference titles.
2. No. 1: The Tigers started the offseason No. 1, at least in this corner of the world. If not for the transfer of linebacker Mike Jones Jr., all 11 defenders would return. I've already said it: Sophomore quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei might eventually be better than Lawrence. A bunch of receivers return. If you attend one spring practice (socially distanced, of course), Clemson should be it. This spring kicks off Dabo Swinney's pursuit of a third national title in the last six years.
3. Nick Saban at 70: He's not quite there yet (Oct. 31), but Alabama's coach is in his 70th year and 29th as a head coach. You already know about the talent losses (see above). This figures to be Saban's most daunting reboot in his 15 years at Alabama. You don't lose all that talent and get better ... or do you? The Bryce Young era begins with Brian Robinson as the primary ball carrier. The defense that was the third-worst ever to win a national championship? Loaded. Don't be surprised. For those scoring at home, Saban will turn 69 ½ just two weeks after the April 17 A-Day game. The man continues to be amazing.
4. Which way, SEC? Because of those Alabama losses, there is reason to believe Georgia should be the SEC favorite. JT Daniels has Heisman potential in what would be the second full season of his career, which is now in Year 4. The Bulldogs defense is always strong. To overtake the Alabama, the offense must be more consistent in big games. It will be interesting. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken was considered heavily by UCF before it went with Gus Malzahn. Biggest spring project for the Dawgs: With the loss of Tyrique Stevenson (transfer to Miami) and reliable veteran Richard LeCounte, the secondary needs to be addressed.
5. There is spring practice and a spring season: Ninety-one Division I teams, most of them FCS, elected to play their 2020 seasons in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the likes of powerhouse North Dakota State, that could mean playing up to 28 games this calendar year (including FCS playoffs). Actually, all those games would be within a 10.5-month period. And we're worried about expansion of the College Football Playoff? Let's talk student-athlete welfare: The average Bison lineman could average 5.92 full-go snaps per day from now until the FCS title game in the second week of January 2022.
6. Year of the super senior: Technically, no players ran out of eligibility in 2020. When COVID-19 hit, the NCAA awarded every player got an extra year of eligibility. That means in 2021 there will be fifth-, sixth- and maybe even seventh-year seniors. That presented a delicate situation for some coaches. While some of those seniors may have preferred to return, coaches may not have wanted them to return. That extra year is only for eligibility. It doesn't guarantee a scholarship. You can bet two of the best super seniors will have scholarships waiting for them: Clemson linebacker James Skalski and Miami quarterback D'Eriq King both enter their sixth years.
7. The LSU mess: Less than 14 months after winning a national championship, LSU is wrapped in controversy. There is an ongoing investigation into alleged sexual assault that may have happened on the watch of both Ed Orgeron and Les Miles. USA Today sued the school attempting to gain access to documents. There was a report this week that Miles was investigated for harassment in 2013. The biggest football question of LSU's spring -- Myles Brennan or Max Johnson at quarterback? -- kind of pales in comparison.
8. New coaches: There are 15 of them, a somewhat surprising total given expectations that 2020 was going to be a mulligan season for a lot of coaches due to COVID-19. Not at South Carolina, Auburn and Texas where they ponied up $50 million in combined buyout money to make changes. You know what you can buy with $50 million? Your own private island. Eight Power Five schools made a change. Seven of the 15 are first-time head coaches. Sadly, only two are minorities. Here's the hiring grades.
9. Three new coaches we'd pay Bitcoin to watch their first season of spring practice:
Gus Malzahn, UCF: After getting out from under the strictures at Auburn (available on request), he has the chance to go back to his roots as a play-callin' ball coach savant with the Knights.
Steve Sarkisian, Texas: The best offensive player caller in the sport was the best name available on the board for Longhorns. Next goals: Win 10 games for the first time in his career, beat Oklahoma, win the Big 12.
Bryan Harsin, Auburn: Harsin is not flashy but his chin can cut glass. There's nothing wrong with a solid hire who knows how to develop quarterbacks. That sort of thing has worked with LSU and Alabama the last two seasons.
10. Best in the West: Oregon has won back-to-back Pac-12 titles. Up next? Become a College Football Playoff factor. The Pac-12 desperately needs someone in the league to step up. Oregon's transition to 2021 began in the Fiesta Bowl when Boston College transfer quarterback Anthony Brown split time with incumbent Tyler Shough who quickly transferred to Texas Tech. Among the options are incoming freshman Ty Thompson and Jay Butterfield from the 2020 class.
11. Next in the West: By the time spring practice ends, roughly at the end of April, there's a good chance the Pac-12 will have hired its new commissioner. Larry Scott parted ways with league in January. Under his watch, there were impressive gains, but mostly a loss of competitive equity. As of now, the league is Power Five only because of the worth of its western markets to TV. The new commissioner must boost football on the field. That might mean folding the Pac-12 Network and getting the league a unique broadcast network deal. Anything to fill league coffers so when the next Urban Meyer is available, a Pac-12 school has the will and resources to hire him. Watch these athletic directors as candidates: Villanova's Mark Jackson and Washington's Jen Cohen.
12. Jim Harbaugh 7.0: The bombastic Michigan coach who loudly announced himself back into the college game six years ago has been quiet. Headed into his sev

O'Melveny is not a firm content to sit on the sidelines of the historic mobilization for racial justice now sweeping our nation. To help translate our longstanding O'Melveny values into action on this urgent cause, the firm's Racial Justice Committee is advising firm leadership on issues of racial justice and equity, promoting an open dialogue and soliciting a range of viewpoints about challenges inside and outside the firm.
We are focused on identifying concrete actions we can take for addressing systemic racial and social injustice. The RJC is working closely with many of the firm's existing committees and groups, including our Diversity & Inclusion, Pro Bono, Corporate Social Responsibility, Alumni, and Management teams, to coordinate internal and external engagements and actions.
So much work lies ahead, and the RJC has already launched several initiatives, including collaborative pro bono engagements and volunteer opportunities with outside organizations, exploring fellowship opportunities for our people, and expanding our training programs. The RJC has been instrumental in:
Coordinating three separate $25,000 donations by the firm to The Advancement Project, Color of Change, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund;
Securing the firm's commitment as a founding member of the Law Firm Anti-Racism Alliance, a coalition of law firms committed to using the private legal community's resources to promote racial equity;
Partnering with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to challenge the potential conflicts created by St. Louis prosecutors joining the police union and becoming members of the same bargaining unit; and
Collaborating with other major law firms to help achieve the repeal of New York's Section 50-a, which had allowed law enforcement agencies to shield police disciplinary records, a victory for transparency that Governor Cuomo signed into law on June 12.
And because racial justice is everyone's responsibility, we have encouraged all of our attorneys and staff to discuss these vital issues and coordinate efforts in our local offices, a process that is already underway across our firm.
We look forward to sharing more about our ongoing efforts as we continue to do our part to promote racial justice, equity, and empowerment.

One of the easiest ways to keep paper clutter from overwhelming your space is to set up a mail processing center immediately inside the door by your mailbox. In a buffet, chest, armoire, or another piece of furniture that matches the decor of your home, install a recycling bin, shredder, and trash can. Also, have mail cubbies for each person in your home so whoever sorts the mail can have a place to immediately store everyone else's mail.
Recycle. Most flyers, postcards, and papers can easily be recycled. If you don't want or need the mail, and it doesn't include any personal information, drop it straight into a recycling bin.
Shred. Credit card applications, notifications, and other junk mail that includes your private information should be shredded to help prevent identity theft. A few seconds shredding these documents can save you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars fixing a stolen identity.
Trash. Not all mail can be recycled. Check with your local recycling center to know which types of papers and envelopes can be recycled and which ones can't. For example, envelopes with the plastic window pane often have to be trashed.
Process. Keep a pen in your mail center to write action items on the mail you choose to keep. "Pay by November 1." "Send to lawyer by October 15." Give yourself as much direction as possible so you don't waste time re-reading the mail again.
The truly organized might also have a scanner in this location to immediately scan materials that don't need to be kept in physical form, but can be retained digitally.
You can be proactive and reduce a good chunk of junk mail by opting out of direct marketing materials through DMAchoice.org. Additionally, call the customer service number on any catalog you don't want and request to be removed from their mailing lists. You can also contact the three credit reporting agencies to opt out of credit card applications for five years at a time. (You will need to contact all three agencies — TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian.) There are also companies that do all of these mail reduction services for an annual fee, such as 41pounds.org and PreCycle.
A mail center is also a great place to empty clutter out your pockets, backpack, and/or briefcase. The less paper clutter that comes into your home, the less clutter you have to worry about getting rid of later.
Surely it's possible to recycle everything but the window plastic out of the window envelopes!
You can opt-out of all three major US credit bureaus at once through www(dot)optoutprescreen(dot)com. It's their proprietary website, so you can do each bureau individually through the site for 5 years, or you can download and mail in the form for permanent opt-out. I think that the permanent form requires SSA number though, so I would be careful about security when mailing that in.
We tried this in our house a couple weeks ago. Instead of cubbies, we have a box that fits hanging file folders. Each family member gets a folder, plus one each for bills, stuff that needs to be shredded, and stuff that needs to be filed long-term. The shredder is in the office (lack of space near the front entrance) so it's easier to shred papers in batches.
I signed up a while ago to stop getting junk mail, and it's worked well except for credit card offers from airlines (thanks to being a part of their frequent flier programs). I recently went through and sent emails to the airlines (using the "contact us" page) asking how to get off those credit card mailing lists. In some cases that was all I needed to get it taken care of – in other cases I had to email the credit card company itself – but the number of credit card offers in our mailbox has slowed considerably, which is a good thing! Hopefully some other readers find this helpful! Had I known it was so easy, I would have done it ages ago!
There is no paper recycling in my area, so I just sort the mail as it comes in, open the important ones and extract what needs to be kept, set aside anything else I want to read, and the rest of it goes directly into a box by my wood stove to be processed into firestarters and rolled "logs" to mix in with real logs. A year's worth of junk mail and assorted cardboard packaging adds a lot of BTUs of heat. Since it is a catalytic stove that burns extremely hot, I don't worry about small amounts of plastic like envelope windows or colored inks: the stove burns it completely and the catalyst reburns the gases (similar to a catalytic converter in a car), so what goes up the flue is mostly carbon and water vapor.
Itas very easy to take the plastic windows out of paper envelopes – our council asks us to do this anyways.
Argh. Mail is the bane of my existence! I've tried processing the mail every day, but stuff still piles up because I'm really good at ignoring it.
Part of this is because it's not convenient. My husband puts the mail on the table by the front door. The recycling is in kitchen. The shredder is crappy and is hidden in my office. When I get home from work, I usually want to flop down on the couch and relax a little before starting dinner. I don't want to grab the pile of mail, walk into the kitchen to recycle the junk, and walk into the office to put the bills and invites and other stuff I need to deal with in the right place, while struggling with my crappy shredder for the credit card offers. But I can't figure out how to set up a mail center by my front door. I just don't have space.
If it's not a package, it's junk. It goes from the mailbox into the recycle bin. End of the line.
I really don't have control of the paperwork in my house.
thanks for such a practical, doable approach.
Varun where I live, things like tax return forms, bills, and all kinds of communications from the govt come by mail. I don´t think I´d want to throw that into the recycle bin.
The boyfriend and I have different mail-sorting systems: I like to process mine right away, and he gets to it when he gets to it. It used to bug me, but he doesn't let things slip (i.e. nothing he's responsible for is ever late), so I let it go.
I usually pick up the mail. We live in a very small apartment building (5 apartments), and there's no recycling bin in the entrance (no room), so I pick everything up and take it upstairs. I sort the mail in the kitchen, and anything that can be recycled or trashed, is. Anything that needs to be shredded goes in my purse and is shredded at work the next day — no point having a shredder at home when we have heavy-duty shredders at work.
My mail is opened and processed right away as much as possible. Anything that can't be processed straight away goes in a wire basket on my desk which acts as a catch-all of "stuff for Anita to deal with".
Boyfriend's mail, as well as any flyers that might interest him, are left on the dining table which is close to the entrance, so he sees it when he comes in. He processes it as he sees fit, and anything that needs to be filed or that he wants me to see is dropped in the same wire basket. About once a week I go through the basket and deal with everything.
I sort mail for several individuals. Mine goes into a vintage cast-iron wall mailbox for further processing. Now, if I could only get my boss to organize his mail!
Here's an idea that might work for Sue.
Start with an attractive tote bag. (L.L. Bean and Lands' End are two good on-line sources.) This can be placed on the floor inside the front door or in the coat closet.
Then set up several file folders with appropriate labels: to do, to file, to read, financial (bank statements, bills, etc.), recycle, shred, trash, or any other categories that seem appropriate. These folders go in the tote bag.
Then when the mail comes, it can be placed, unsorted, in the front of the tote bag. After dinner (or whenever the mood strikes), Sue can sit down and sort each item into the appropriate file.
Then she can carry the tote bag with the files and make the rounds to distribute each item. Things in the recycle file go in the kitchen recycling bin. Things in the shred file go into the office where the shredder is, and so on.
I think you missed some destination steps, particularly for those of us who run businesses, full-time or hobby, from our homes.
I follow a similar pattern to your first steps. Then the Action items go to their places, determined by their needs. This system is faster to use than it was to type up for this comment!
– To Be Filed folder. Also going into the To Be Filed folder are statements once completely reconciled and statements that require no action as they arrive.
– Statements binder for 2010 is the finally resting place for all statements I will need in the future (tax time mostly). Tabs are labelled. Statements are 3-hole punched and in date order. I keep 7 years of these binders because I am required to for my business. It is a tidy end-point.
– medium-sized plastic Receipts accordion sleeve with labelled tabs holds reconciled receipts. The tabs are labelled with the applicable taxman's categories (Auto, Business Supplies, etc.) ready for adding up at the end of the year. At the end of the year they are already sorted because I have been putting them in there all year as they were checkmarked off statements. I add them up with an old-fashioned adding machine. Whole categories of receipts are clipped together with their adding machine tape and put into plastic binder pockets in the Statements binders after the numbers have gone onto the tax return. Insert a copy of your tax return in the front. Voila, a single binder at the end of the year.
It is a thrill to shred the 7th binder every year when the new one is complete. Many people reading might only need or want to have one year back dated if they don't have any home business. Check with your tax laws.
And finally, since I brought up receipts, one other thing to deal with… When I make a major purchase (new printer this week for example), I photocopy the receipt to keep in the receipt process. The original goes WITH the user guide, warranty info, how-to instructions, whatever, in my binder labelled How Things Work. That way if I have a problem in the future, I don't have to remember what year and category it landed in. My How Things Work binder is populated with plastic binder pockets with categories such as Kitchen Appliances, Computers & Tech, etc. I always know where instructions for everything are also.
PS Shredded paper also goes to be recycled. It just doesn't go "whole".
Actually Kay shredded paper shouldn't be recycled. It is too small so it often ends up with the glass when it is sorted at recycling plants. Shredded paper should be composted.
Glad to see one of your commenters mentioned our service – Catalog Choice is the nation's largest *free* opt-out service. It should be in the main body of your post.
@Kay: Since you are already making a copy of the receipt, it is probably a good idea to make two–one for your other process and one to be kept with the original. With the cheap thermal receipts that are used these days, I've had too many that become unreadable (where a photocopy when it was new would have really helped).

Brand New Distributor A24 Picks Up Fest Fave 'The Spectacular Now'
This is the news I've been waiting all weekend for - hooray! One of my very favorite films of the festival, The Spectacular Now (read my glowing review here) directed by James Ponsoldt of last year's Smashed, has been acquired. While we were ultimately hoping for Fox Searchlight, the news is that brand new upstart distributor A24 Films has picked up the film for US distribution and will release it this summer. Great news! Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, two breakout actors, star in the film. It's one of my favorites of the festival (as well as Peter Sciretta of SlashFilm) and one that I can't wait for everyone to be able to see.
From the press release: "We fell in love with this film the minute that we watched it and we know the rest of the country will embrace this timeless love story. James has directed a wonderful film that depicts young love with complete authenticity and has two young stars giving incredible performances with Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley," said A24. Producer Andrew Lauren says, "I am so thrilled that the film has found a home with a company that has such passion for it. It's been an amazing Sundance and we are so gratified by the incredibly warm response here." Since its premiere on Friday, the buzz for it has been through the roof.
A24 seems to be focusing on a younger demographic. The distributor, launched just last year, is a brand new New York City-based company. Their 2013 line-up already includes: Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers (watch the trailer), Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, Sally Potter's Ginger & Rosa and Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring. I'm quite fond the films they're releasing, I just hope they can market them properly and give them the kind of release they deserve. The Spectacular Now is a spectacular film that deserves to get out there in a big way. We'll keep you updated on any other release news from here.

Q: Myanmar font set up at website My website needs to allow users to key-in Myanmar font.
I am looking around and there is no proper documentation how to setup at webpage.
A few font providers are found like thanlwin, MyMyanmar Language ,etc. But there is no proper documentation how to setup their libraries.
I saw a few Myanmar unicode fonts, don't know which one to choose.
May I have some guide how to install lib at my server to support Myanmar font at my webpage?

A: Wikipedia uses the fallback sans serif (Helvetica / Arial) of your operating system for displaying Myanmar.
if you would prefer a specific font you can convert it the common font files (of course with the permission of the font designer):
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
Now you can upload it to your server and include it via @font-face (you'll receive an example css file).

Q: How to create a stored procedure for select/update/delete statements I have this sql statement that I want to convert to store procedure. How can I do that?
select a.name, a.lastname, from myTable where b.name= a.lastname

Thanks
UPDATE
Would this be right guys
CREATE PROCEDURE myProcedure
AS
BEGIN
SELECT [a.name],
       [a.lastname]
FROM [myTable]
WHERE [b.name] = a.lastname
END

This is one of the code that I am really working on
sql statement
SELECT RTRIM(l.Lab1) + '/' + RTRIM(l.LabR) AS Lab, meta.Title,ls.[ID],ls.[surveyID], ls.[specialistID],ls.[isCompleted] FROM [MyDIM].[dbo].[lsLabSurvey] ls JOIN [MYDIM].[dbo].[dimDocMetaInfo] meta ON meta.id = ls.[surveyID] and specialistID = @PID and isCompleted=1 JOIN MyDatabase.DBO.PID_Table l ON ls.ID = l.ID

And My Attempted Stored Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE PROCD1
AS
BEGIN
SELECT RTRIM(l.Lab1) + '/' + RTRIM(l.LabR)
AS Lab,
   meta.Title,
   la.[ID],
   ls.[surveyID],
   ls.[specialistID],
   ls.[isCompleted]
FROM [MyDIM].[dbo].[lsLabSurvey] ls
JOIN [MyDIM].[dbo].[dimDocMetaInfo] meta
ON meta.id = ls.[surveyID]
and specialistID = @PID
and isCompleted=1
JOIN MyDatabase.DBO.PID_Table l
ON ls.ID = l.ID

END

A: It's really not that hard. You're 95% of the way there.  The following is for SQL Server:
CREATE PROCEDURE SomeProcedureName
AS
select a.name, a.lastname, from myTable where b.name= a.lastname

And I highly recommend this book: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sams-teach-yourself-sql-in-10-minutes-ben-forta/1100070678
It covers basic SQL syntax, and gives examples for different "dialects" of SQL.  Each RDBMS has slightly different syntax for performing similar functions, and you will need to know the dialect of the DB you're working with.

A: As David said you are almost there but just need minor changes.

*

*I suppose @Pid is a parameter,if so, it is missing from the Stored Procedure defintion.

*The (and specialistId=@Pid and iscompleted =1) form the Where clause (Filter expression). So the procedure goes like this

`
CREATE PROCEDURE PROCD1 (@PID INT )
AS
    BEGIN
        SELECT  CONVERT(VARCHAR,RTRIM(l.Lab1)) + '/' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,RTRIM(l.LabR)) AS Lab ,
                meta.Title ,
                la.[ID] ,
                ls.[surveyID] ,
                ls.[specialistID] ,
                ls.[isCompleted]
        FROM    [MyDIM].[dbo].[lsLabSurvey] ls
                INNER JOIN [MyDIM].[dbo].[dimDocMetaInfo] meta ON meta.id = ls.[surveyID]
                INNER JOIN MyDatabase.DBO.PID_Table l ON ls.ID = l.ID
        WHERE   ls.specialistID = @PID
                AND ls.isCompleted = 1
    END
`

Hope this helps.
