Le Moineau de la Tamise () est un film américano-britannique de Jean Negulesco sorti en 1950.

Synopsis
Dans les années 1870, Wheeler est un jeune orphelin qui survit comme éboueur sur les bords de la Tamise. Un jour, il trouve un corps sur les berges et vole un camée. Un gardien de nuit lui apprend que la femme qu'il représente est la Reine Victoria, qui vit recluse au château de Windsor depuis la mort de son mari le Prince Albert, quinze ans auparavant. Wheeler, intrigué par l'apparence maternelle de la reine, décide l'aller à Windsor pour la voir.

Pendant ce temps, le Premier ministre Benjamin Disraeli est en visite au château et informe la reine que sa réclusion donne une image négative de la royauté alors même qu'il n'arrive pas à faire passer un important programme de réformes.

L'arrivée de Wheeler va déclencher une série d'événements qui vont finalement pousser la reine à se montrer en public, où elle va rencontrer la liesse populaire.

Book of the week: We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication by Judith Warner
We've Got Issues. Book cover
(Riverhead, 320 pages, $25.95)
Judith Warner's "brilliant" new book is a must-read for anyone who fears that too many children today are being medicated for performance and behavioral issues, said Amy Tuteur in Salon.com. Five years ago, she was a skeptic herself, and she began writing We've Got Issues with the intention of exposing how greedy pharmaceutical companies and overanxious parents were pushing healthy kids into dangerous pill habits. But then she started actually talking to parents of children with mental illnesses. She discovered that their most fervent wish was not that their offspring get straight A's but simply that they might be able "to live outside an institution without hurting anyone." Gradually, Warner changed her mind. Her old position, she now writes, was just prejudice, a blindness to real suffering.
Her new one isn't much of an improvement, said Alison Gopnik in Slate.com. Did Warner really think she'd find any parents who'd confess that they were knowingly overmedicating their perfectly healthy kids? Only one question about medication really matters: "Do the drugs make the children better?" Warner uses anecdotes to back her argument that they do, but "nowhere in the book does she explain or evaluate the scientific evidence" that could actually answer the question. If she did, she'd find that "the scientific evidence just isn't clear." Various psychological syndromes—including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia—are not diseases in a traditional sense. They are clusters of symptoms that become problems only in a society that withholds rewards from those who manifest them. Whenever there's evidence that other types of intervention can help, we should be "much more conservative than we are" in prescribing psychotropic drugs.
Warner does defend her decision not to probe the science more deeply, said Mary Carmichael in Newsweek.com. Because the science remains murky, she suggests, parents should be considered the best judges of what's working: After all, why would they keep giving their kids drugs if the drugs didn't seem to work? Warner's not completely naïve: She still believes that the greed of pharmaceutical companies needs to be checked. Though she doesn't settle this debate, she's added a new voice to it—an impressive accomplishment, considering that the topic was "already one of the most talked-about in all of parenting."

I'm watching the first part of the hit movie "Ray," the biopic about Ray Charles. Great film!
Nobody likes to be left behind. Nobody likes to feel left out.
Unfortunately, when Ray first hit the road, his bandmates didn't want to hang out with him. The band would play, then after the show, if the band members made plans to hang out, they told Ray the cab was full and they'd leave him behind.
Sad. Nobody likes to be left behind. Nobody likes to feel left out.
When you get left behind, you're free to do all that secret stuff you can't do when people are watching you. Lonely time is plotting time. Lonely time is dirty time. Lonely time is a time to carve creepy-faced pumpkins and put them on your bandmates' porches! Yeah! It's great to be alone!
By the way, I'd like to see Ray Charles' jack-o-lantern! Blind folks carve the best pumpkins!
Fortunately, instead of carving pumpkins, Ray used all his lonely time to do piano stuff- and junk. Imagine if his biopic was called "Ray Charles, Pumpkin Carver!" That would have been awful!

Truxtun Park— Park Spotlight
Address: 273 Hilltop Lane, Annapolis
Website: annapolis.gov
Hours: Sunrise to Sunset
Parking: Free
Pets: Pets on a leash are allowed
Notes: Restrooms available in the rec center and near the skateboard park
Truxtun Park contains more than 200 acres within the City of Annapolis that is bordered on two sides by Spa Creek. The Pip Moyer Recreation Center, ball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, a skateboard park, swim center and boat ramp are spread across the park. But what is often overlooked are the trails that wind through the park.
To walk a two mile loop through the woods and along the creek, park behind the rec center near a fun new playground and look for a wooded trail head that is closer to the Salvation Army side. The trail is easy to follow. The path goes through the woods and down a slope until you see a pump station. The new pool is in the woods to your right. Continue on until you reach a driveable path coming from the direction of the pool. If you turn left you can cross a wooden bridge and walk on Silopanna until it reaches the Spa Creek Trail which passes the Chesapeake Children's Museum and ultimately the trail that surrounds Bates Middle School. Following this trail can add significantly to your walk.
But continue straight across the paved road towards another outbuilding, walking up the hill behind the building. The trail runs along the creek and has spectacular views, but also a lot of ups and downs. My fitness tracker recorded that I had done 18 flights of stairs when I walked this section. The path is easy to follow all the way to a point at the end of the park. You can actually see the Maryland State House dome and some of the downtown Annapolis church spires from this location. Take a hard right and follow the path through the woods. You'll emerge next to the boat ramps at the end of Truxtun Park Road.
Walking up the road you will pass the newly upgraded pool, it's very nice, and a small playground. Walk on a little more until you are at the tennis courts. Take a right at the first court and head towards the woods. You'll see a path that veers to the left, and more steps. This path comes out behind the new playground that you parked near when you started your journey.
Inside Pip Moyer there are other fun opportunities for kids. There are fees to use both the Rock Climbing Wall and Ballocity, an indoor playspace featuring climbing tubes, slides and foam ball launchers. Check out the website for times and fees: annapolis.gov

When you're resizing a video, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the aspect ratio. The problem with resizing videos and altering their dimensions is that if the aspect ratio changes it can cause the video to look distorted, and stretched or compressed.
That is why you may want to consider using Movavi Video Converter to resize your videos. Not only will it make it easy to do so, but it will provide you with several different methods that you can use to ensure your videos look good once they're resized.
To start to resize video, launch Movavi Video Converter and add the video that you want to resize by clicking on the 'Add Media' then 'Add Video'. Next, open the 'Video' tab near the bottom of the interface and choose the format that you want to use.
There are four automatic presets that you can use to resize your video without altering its aspect ratio: Smart fit, up to size, ½ size and ¼ size. As you can guess the ½ size and ¼ size presets will resize the video to half or a quarter of its original size respectively.
On the other hand the 'Smart fit' will resize the video to the largest possible size that can fit within a frame of your choice without altering its aspect ratio. Similarly the 'Up to size' will shrink a video so that it fits within a frame of your choice, but won't increase the size of videos that already fit.
If you want to set a custom size, Movavi Video Converter will let you set the width and height that you want your video to be. It will then let you choose to resize the video using the stretch, letterbox, crop or auto method.
Assuming the aspect ratio is different, the 'Stretch' method will stretch or compress the video to fit and could distort its image while the letterbox won't distort its image but will place black bars around the video. The crop method will cut off any parts that are larger than the output frame, while the auto method will use both stretch and crop to produce the best possible compromise.
By choosing these methods, you should be able to resize your video in the best way possible depending on your needs. That is part of the advantage of using Movavi Video Converter, and you should also take advantage of its other features to convert and optimize or even edit your video in other ways.

An enchanting story of family life that is a dance of love and grief and rebirth set on a gorgeous island in the Indian Ocean The island is filled with exotic flora and fauna and perfumed air. A large family compound is presided over by a benign, stalwart grandmother. There is a very tall South Asian heroine with the astonishing un-Indian name of Meterling, who has found love at last in the shape of a short, round, elegant Englishman who wears white suits. There are also numerous aunts, uncles and young cousins – among them Mina, grown now, and narrating this story of a marriage ceremony that ends with a widowed bride who, in the midst of her grief, discovers she is pregnant. While enjoying their own games and growing-up pains, Mina and her young cousins follow every nuance of gossip, trying to puzzle out what is going on with their favourite aunt, particularly when the groom's cousin arrives from England and begins to woo her. As Meterling – torn between Eastern and Western ideas of love and family, duty and loyalty – struggles to make a new life, we become as entranced with this family, its adventures and complications, as Mina is. And with her, we celebrate a time and place where, although sometimes difficult, life was for the most part as sweet as honey.

Bureau 42 Review – Severance S01
Apple TV launched a show called Severence. The show gives the story of workers who undergo "Severance", where you separate your 'Work life' from your 'home life'. As you take the door into work, you no longer can remember who you are on the outside. As one can expect, there is more to the story than we are told.
Series Directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle
Created by Dan Erickson
Adam Scott as Mark
Zach Cherry as Dylan
Britt Lower as Helly
Tramell Tillman as Milchick
Jen Tullock as Devon
Dichen Lachman as Ms. Casey
Michael Chernus as Ricken
John Turturro as Irving
Christopher Walken as Burt
Patricia Arquette as Harmony Cobel
Marc Geller as Kier Eagan
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs. (From IMDB)
The weirdness of the show sits on the border of absurdity and unbelievable, but never quite goes over into unbelievable. It comes very close, but if one has worked in a white collar environment, the idea of working at a computer unendingly and not knowing what you are doing is not far fetched.
This show has the feel of Lost (2004), in that there are a lot of mysteries and weirdness that is brought up, but since this was just the first season, never gets expanded on. Additionally, there seems to be a lot of awkwardness and surreality that seems to be mistaken for comedy.
Originality: 5/6 This may be a sci-fi premise, with a dystopia based on office life, but we do not often get that grounded directly in our modern day real world.
Effects: 6/6 There isn't any significant effects in the show, but they are all pulled off flawlessly.
Acting: 5/6 People have distinct personalities when they are 'at work' and 'at home', but their cores are the same. This is portrayed well.
Emotional Response: 3/6 The characters can be odd, but I am not sure their feelings, while believable, are relatable more than they are just a curiosity.
Story: 4/6 Completely forgetting work when you go home, as well as having perfect office drones when at work, is interesting from a philosophical viewpoint. Given the current status in the United States of many jobs underpaying workers causing both a worker shortage and a job shortage, it's certainly timely.
Production: 6/6 Apple has dumped some money into getting the show to look convincing, and it shows.
Overall: 3/6 While the premise and mysteries are intriguing, until we see what the results of the mystery actually is, it is difficult to say if the story pays off.
In total, the first season of "Severance" receive 32/42

"Additionally, there seems to be a lot of awkwardness and surreality that seems to be mistaken for comedy."
And this is my hang-up with a lot of modern comedies (case in point, The Office). An acting & improv coach warned me about this years ago. People laugh at things that are either funny or things that make them uncomfortable. The former elicits a dopamine response that leaves people feeling good for a long time. The latter does not, it's merely a coping mechanism (there's a lesser dopamine response that is short-lived and helps you manage the moment). Too many modern writers lean on this awkwardness as comedy when it doesn't work in the long term.
`Lex Pendragon says:
Ben Stiller, who directed Severance a lot, has a lot of things that also do that, but this felt like it knew it was awkward. Like they know this isn't funny, it's not supposed to be, the point is that it isn't funny.
At least this was how I took it. This has potential for a great payoff if everything turns out to be an interesting story. If it Losts me, I'm going be very annoyed with all of it.


What is Obstructing a Police Officer?
NRS 197.190 Obstructing public officer. Every person who, after due notice, shall refuse or neglect to make or furnish any statement, report or information lawfully required of the person by any public officer, or who, in such statement, report or information shall make any willfully untrue, misleading or exaggerated statement, or who shall willfully hinder, delay or obstruct any public officer in the discharge of official powers or duties, shall, where no other provision of law applies, be guilty of a misdemeanor.
This situation most often crops up in dealings with the police, from anything to being stopped on the sidewalk to major offenses like drunk driving. It is always best to cooperate with law enforcement officials of the state so as to avoid dealing with legal problems, even minor ones like misdemeanors, but if you or anyone in your family finds themselves in a situation such as this one, set up a meeting with me. I am an expert in these matters and will protect your rights. Call me now at 702-383-0090!


If you've never eaten Maple Cinnamon Twist then you really should consider trying this recipe. It's basically a giant maple cinnamon danish that's sweet, buttery and just delicious. It can be the beautiful centerpiece to your brunch menu or the perfect start to any old morning. You just need to have this in your life in some way because it's that good.
Like a lot of the recipes I post, this one can also be made ahead and flash frozen for future use. If you're going to do that, I suggest making it into the smaller rounds rather than the large round because it'll be much more manageable in your freezer. When I had this baking in the oven Charlie yelled, "Mmmm, Mom, I want some of that french toast!" And he was exactly right – it smells and tastes just like a giant loaf of french toast. And see that round piece in the middle there? Everyone will be fighting over it because it's juicy, cinnamony and the best part. I must say, It's pretty hard to go wrong with this treat.
Mix together the dry ingredients: flour, salt and sugar.
In a small sauce pan, warm the milk and add the butter to the warm milk - keep stirring until the butter has melted then let the mixture cool.
Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of water and add 1 tbsp of maple flavoring to the water, set aside.
Add the milk liquid, yeast liquid and lastly the beaten eggs to the dry ingredients.
Knead the dough with your hands and add in flour a little bit at a time until the mixture is moist but not sticky.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place in a warm place away from any drafts (I always put my dough in the closet that has all the equiment for the TV because it gets so warm in there!).
Allow the dough to rise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (or until the dough has doubled in size). While the dough is rising, prep the Cinnamon Sugar Filling (see below).
Divide the dough into 3 balls (this will make one large Maple Cinnamon Twist; if you want 4 smaller ones that are 8" round, divide the dough into 4 balls and then divide each of those balls into 3 - you'll have a total of 12 small balls of dough).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each large ball into 12" circles (if you're making them small the circles will only be about 6").
Fit one layer of dough onto a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet and get ready to layer on your Cinnamon Sugar Filling.
Mix the ingredients together using your hands, if you want, to get it really well blended - remember, if you're not making one giant Maple Cinnamon Twist, divide the filling into however many rounds you're planning on making (2 or 4) and then go from there with the following directions for each one you make.
Brush the dough with melted butter and evenly sprinkle 1/3 of the cinnamon sugar filling on top.
Continue the same steps with the remaining 2 layers of dough (end with the cinnamon sugar filling exposed).
Use a small juice glass to mark a 2" circle in the center of the dough (be careful NOT to cut through the dough).
Make cuts from the outside edge of the glass out to the edge of the dough.
You want to end up with 16 pie shaped wedges - the best way to do this is cut the circle in half and then keep cutting each section in half until you get 16 wedges.
Twist each wedge 4 or 5 times - remove the glass once you're done twisting.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 1 hour.
Bake at 325F for approximately 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Whisk together the ingredients and add more milk a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Drizzle the baked treat with the glaze while it's still warm (but not too hot - about 5-10 minutes).

The causes of cardiovascular disease are diverse, but during the last decade, the importance of mechanical factors in their pathogenesis has become widely recognised. For instance, changing stiffness of the large arteries is a powerful prognostic indicator of mortality and morbidity for hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease. Our research activities are aimed at a better understanding of the relationship between arterial composition, structure and mechanical function and range from mathematical modelling of the shear waves resulting from disturbed blood flow, through investigation of impaired vascular function in patients with diabetes and thalassaemia, to understanding how fatigue failure of elastin in adult life contributes to hypertension associated with impaired growth in-utero. On the applied side, recent work has been concerned with the development of novel methods for the measurement of arterial function including the activity of matrix metallo proteases, investigating the haemodynamic properties of novel stent/grafts and the non-invasive and indeed non-contact measurement of arterial stiffness. These ideas are propagated to students undertaking the intercalated degree in experimental pathology for whom we provide all the teaching in the CV Pathophysiology module.
Following a BA in Natural Science at Hertford College Oxford and a PhD in Medicine (Pathology) from Guy's Hospital Medical School, Steve Greenwald obtained a British Heart Foundation Junior Research Fellowship working on arterial elasticity in children. This was followed by a position as research assistant in the Pathology Department of The London Hospital Medical College. He has been on the academic staff of The Medical College since 1980 and obtained a personal chair in Cardiovascular Mechanics in 2001. Since 2002 he has been head of intercalated degrees and an Associate Director of The Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biomedical Materials at Queen Mary University of London. He was elected as the Vice President of the International Society of Pathophysiology in 2006 and holds visiting professorships in Thailand and China.

Q: How can I ensure language analysis is applied to a token generated by WordDelimiterTokenFilter This issue is a new situation I am facing after applying a fix for FEMMES.COM not properly tokenizing ( How do I get french text FEMMES.COM to index as language variants of FEMMES )
Failing Test Case: #FEMMES2017 should tokenize to Femmes, Femme, 2017.
It is quite possible my approach to use a MappingCharFilter was not correct, and really just a band-aid. What is the correct approach here to get this failing test case to pass?

A: The input text is processed by the components of the analyzer in order: char filters -> tokenizer -> token filters. In your case, the tokenizer performs lemmatization before tokens are processed by the WordDelimiter token filter. Unfortunately, Microsoft stemmers and lemmatizers are not available as independent token filters that you could apply after the WordDelimiter token filter. You will need to add another token filter that will normalize the output of the WordDelimiter token filter based on your requirements. It it's only this one case that you care about you could move the SynonymsTokenFilter to the end of the analyzer chain and map femmes to femme. This is obviously not a great workaround as it's very specific to the data you're processing. Hopefuly the information I provided will help you find a more generic solution.

Historic John Biggers' mural in Houston scarred by mold from Harvey damage
1953 indoor painting depicts strength of black women
By Cindy George
Updated 7:35 pm CDT, Saturday, September 9, 2017
The John Biggers 1953 mural, Contribution of Negro Women to American Life and Education, covers a wall inside the Blue Triangle Multi-Cultural Association's headquarters in Houston's Third Ward. The work featuring Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Phillis Wheatley was painted when the building was operating as the Blue Triangle YWCA. A leaky roof had been threatening the mural. Caretakers pleaded in January 2016 for contributions – roughly $50,000 for a patch job and $200,000 for a complete restoration. The funding never came. In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey swept through the Houston region and sent water through the roof and walls of the historic building at 3005 McGowen. A week later, the mural has hundreds of black bursts of mold. Funders and art conservators are responding the national artistic emergency with restoration offers and money. Biggers, who founded the art department at Texas Southern University, died in 2001 at 79. He is considered one of the foremost artists who captured the black experience of the 20th century and mentored several generations of Houston artists. This photo was taken on September 8, 2017 with Blue Triangle board member Lucy Bremond.

A historic mural by artist John Biggers was damaged during Hurricane Harvey, more than a year after efforts to raise funds to protect the artwork fell short.
The 1953 mural, Contribution of Negro Women to American Life and Education, now has hundreds of bursts of black mold growing amid the painting.
The mural covers a wall inside the Blue Triangle Multi-Cultural Association's headquarters in Houston's Third Ward.
The work featuring Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Phillis Wheatley was painted when the building was operated as the Blue Triangle YWCA.
A leaky roof had been threatening the mural. Caretakers pleaded in January 2016 for contributions – roughly $50,000 for a patch job and $200,000 for a complete restoration. The funding never came.
Last month, Harvey swept through the Houston region and sent water through the roof and walls of the historic building at 3005 McGowen.
"I am absolutely astonished at the damage that has been done," said Charlotte Kelly Bryant, the association's founding president. She noted that the mural has been "perfectly kept" for more than six decades, including the association's 17 years of owning the building.
"Unless the roof above it is replaced, it's going to be a lost cause," Bryant said. "I ask the prayers of everybody as we beg for assistance."
A week after the storm, the mural has damage that appears to be worsening. Funders and art conservators are responding the national artistic emergency with restoration offers and money.
Biggers, who founded the art department at Texas Southern University, died in 2001 at 76. He is considered one of the foremost artists who captured the black experience of the 20th century and mentored several generations of Houston artists.

Man Utd duo seal own fate after going through motions in disastrous Cadiz friendly cameos
By dailysunpost_1rcpnd December 7, 2022 Sport No Comments3 Mins Read
The writing is seemingly on the wall for both Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams at Manchester United after the two full-backs went through the motions on their return to action against Cadiz. The Red Devils have endured nearly one month away from the field following the mid-season break for the World Cup which came after young star Alejandro Garnacho sealed a last-gasp 2-1 win at Fulham in the Premier League on November 13.
But head coach Erik ten Hag is keen to rebuild some sharpness ahead of the Carabao Cup tie with Burnley at Old Trafford on December 21 following the lengthy lay-off as he took the opportunity to cast an eye over some of the club's fringe and younger players.
United's depleted squad meant there were starts for Wan-Bissaka and Williams in south western Spain but the pair's lack of rhythm was telling as they played their part in a disastrous start to the match.
Cadiz were ahead after just eight minutes when Carlos Garcia-Die Sanchez found the net when Williams gave away an unnecessary free-kick.
It was then 2-0 just six minutes later when Wan-Bisssaka struggled to stop a cross down the right flank before Anthony Lozano was on hand to grab a second goal for the hosts.

The Eagles and West Ham made late approaches for him in the summer transfer window but United were not prepared to do business given they would have been left with little time to find a replacement.
United have reportedly been discussing internally whether they should sign another right-back when the market reopens in January.
Both Denzel Dumfries and Jeremie Frimpong are thought to be appreciated by the Old Trafford hierarchy.
Meanwhile, Dalot is expected to extend his United contract following his fine form for both club and country.
The 23-year-old was picked to start ahead of Joao Cancelo in Portugal's 6-1 demolition of Switzerland in the World Cup last 16 on Tuesday night.
Williams spent last season on loan at Norwich City where he made 26 Premier League appearances under Daniel Farke and Dean Smith.
The versatile full-back was in line for another loan move this summer before picking up an injury. He has not featured for United since 2020.
United are expected to be active once again in the January window and a productive summer of spending has seen the likes of Williams fall even further down the pecking order.


BARCELONA (Reuters) - Wireless industry executives mostly lauded the alliance between Nokia and Microsoft as good for competition and innovation, despite the stock market's disdain for the deal.
The partnership between the two giants — which creates a more formidable rival to Google's mobile operating system Android — was announced last week, and at the ongoing Mobile World Congress in Barcelona industry players have been trying to assess its impact.
While Nokia shares have tumbled more than 20 percent since announcing the deal — touching their lowest since 1998 earlier on Tuesday — handset and chip makers have come out in support of the alliance as a way to keep alive competing mobile software platforms and prevent the commoditization that has depressed company valuations and margins in the PC world.
"Competition always helps ... Having an extra strong supplier is good for the industry," Warren East, chief executive of chip designer ARM Holdings, told Reuters.
Nokia has lost ground in recent years to Apple's iPhone, which has its own operating system, as well as Google's Android software, which ended the 10-year reign of Nokia's Symbian as the pre-eminent smartphone platform last quarter.
Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 had a market share of just 2 percent in the last quarter, but with the help of Nokia, the world's largest smartphone maker by volume, that could improve significantly.
Initially, the announcement raised fears the phone makers using Microsoft software would abandon the platform, but those early fears appear unfounded.
Samsung said the deal would have no effect on its plans for Windows Phone 7, which it already uses in its phones.
Taiwan's HTC, the fifth-biggest maker of smartphones, uses both Android and Microsoft operating systems on its products and was upbeat about the deal.
CEO of personal computer and tablet maker Acer Gianfranco Lanci also said the alliance was good for companies that make devices.
The deal could be a windfall for Qualcomm, the sole provider of chips for Windows Phone 7, as it sells little to Nokia today.
"We are excited about that opportunity," Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs said in an interview with Reuters, adding it was too early to count chickens.
Some industry players — like Ericsson CEO Hans Vestberg — said it was too soon to tell how its handset joint venture with Sony would be affected by the change.
Telecom operators at the show have been more neutral on the partnership, in part because the software battle doesn't really affect their profits.

Central venous catheters are placed into large veins to allow treatment for cancer, immune-compromised, critical care and other high risk patients. Needleless connectors attach to the catheter, so that injection syringes/infusion tubing can then be attached.
Connector design is likely important in preventing CVC complications, such as bloodstream infections and catheter occlusion. Connector decontamination (cleaning) with antiseptic before each injection/use is also a key strategy to prevent bloodstream infection.
Connector design and decontamination methods have not been studied in large, high quality randomised research trials, so healthcare organisations lack information on the best care policies.
These pilot studies aim to: 1) evaluate the feasibility of launching a full-scale, multi-site, randomised, efficacy trial, using pre-defined feasibility criteria for recruitment, participant retention, research protocol fidelity; 2) use pilot data to refine the protocol; and 3) identify clinically- and cost-effective connector design and decontamination methods to prevent catheter failure through occlusion and bloodstream infection. We have adult and paediatric patients participating in these trials.
The COCOA Trials are funded through the Queensland Department of Health Nursing & Midwifery Senior Research Fellowship, and a Cancer Council Queensland project grant.
The Chief Investigator is Professor Claire Rickard and the Project Manager is Julie Flynn.

WHY CASCADIA SCHOOL?
Take a moment to read about our school, its goals and how it provides life changing experiences for today's teens.
Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous growth in the popularity of "adventure sports" and "adventure travel". Students seeking active learning in the outdoors come to Cascadia for training and instruction. Whether it is backpacking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, canoeing, camping or travel, students receive tremendous amounts of instruction – both personalized and in a group setting. Students learn concepts along with technical skills and they become competent in decision-making, judgment, and risk management. Our Cascadia courses feature sequential skill training that leads to proficiency in a variety of outdoor pursuits.
Active Learning in the Outdoors
From the beginning the founders of Cascadia Adventure Education School chose to emphasize an educational construct with a cutting edge curriculum as opposed to operating an outdoor teen entertainment business. That's one of the primary reasons that has set us apart from the pack. Each one of our courses has been designed with outcomes in mind. Hundreds of hours of planning and piloting has been undertaken to craft and perfect our program offerings. There are a lot of ways to learn about adventure sports, leadership and service, but none are as effective as the Cascadia experience. Our hands-on, focused, learn by doing approach means that our students get the skills they need to be competent, responsible outdoor enthusiasts. For more details on learning goals refer to our course descriptions.
In a time when people can feel powerless, a history of altruism can be the balm as it reveals the power of helpful and humble acts. It reminds us that constructive changes in human affairs arise from intention, not coercion. Cascadia students are introduced to the ethic of service and the merits of civic engagement. Every Cascadia extended course (7 days or more) provides students an opportunity to participate in a thoughtfully organized service project. The project integrates meaningful environmental service with instruction and reflection to enrich their learning experience. Service learning acts as a springboard for becoming engaged in civic life serving the earth, communities, or other people.
As parents, as mentors, as teachers we long to see youth grow and develop and become leaders ready to meet the challenges of the century. Although they may be enthusiastic about this concept other priorities often compete for a teenagers time -- academics, sports, extracurricular activities, applying for scholarships, college applications, after school jobs – to name a few. At Cascadia our programs have set opportunities for leadership development as a top priority. Using an experiential method of learning students put their egos in their pockets and begin viewing others as partners in order to develop trust, communicate effectively, collaborate, make decisions, and build shared visions. There is no better setting than the outdoors for students to come together, experience personal growth and have fun along the way.
Natural Awareness
Earth Education, a new brand of environmental education, is the masterwork of Steve Van Matre who has spent much of his life crafting programs that help students develop a deeper relationship with the natural world. At Cascadia we take this goal to heart. Every one of our programs include experiences designed to heighten awareness, stimulate the senses and initiate that spark of wonder, and give students a new appreciation for natural beauty. Special guest appearances, readings, personal journaling, discovery packs, moments for solitude, positive role modeling and contagious enthusiasm are all ingredients, and when mixed together, deliver surprising outcomes. Once students rediscover their relationship with the earth they tend to make serious life-long commitments toward preserving and protecting it.
The world is changing before our eyes, and it has never been more important to be part of that change. Your children are in line to address the challenges of our generation. Our world travel courses immerse students in amazingly exotic places where they share powerful, life-changing experiences with their fellow travelers and new friends made along the way. While each course features outdoor-based adventures an equal emphasis is placed on connecting Cascadia students with residents, young and old, in our host communities. Depending on the course, students experience a home stay or work side by side with community residents on a local service project. These authentic experiences are life changers for our students. They are given the training and resources to make connections, celebrate diversity, learn skills and study the language. These course are designed to set the stage for young people to build cultural bridges that lead to greater global understanding and cooperation.
Friendships, Fun and Adventure
John Muir loved life and spent it exploring and roaming through America's wild lands and engaging with the marvels of nature. The French saying "joie de vivre" might be a way to describe the spirit of John Muir. Roughly translated it means living life with a sense of excitement and energy. A similar Spanish phrase, "pura vida" is commonly used by Costa Ricans to express a philosophy of strong community, resilience in overcoming difficulties, keeping with good spirits, enjoying life slowly, and celebrating good fortune and friends. Like both John Muir and the people of Costa Rica, we at Cascadia make a special effort to nurture a culture of vitality, community, and zest by injecting lots of fun into the day, bonding and befriending each other, and throwing ourselves into the action. Needless to say our course instructors are experts in setting the stage for this type of culture we speak of. "Pura Vida!"

Q: Box.com creating folder for record failing i'm encountering a wierd behavior in my box.com integration for salesforce.
Here's the code.
@future (callout=true)
public static void createFolder(Id id)
{
     //Instantiate the Toolkit object
    box.Toolkit boxToolkit = new box.Toolkit();
    //get Folderid for record Id
    String folderId = boxToolkit.createFolderForRecordId(id, null, true);
    String parentFolderId=boxToolkit.getFolderIdByRecordId(id);
    System.Debug('folder ID ' + parentFolderId);
    if(folderId == null){
        System.Debug(boxToolkit.mostRecentError );
    }
}

When I call this from anonymous execute in the dev console, the code executes successfully and a folder is created and it prints the parent folder ID.
However, when i execute this code from the afterInsert trigger of an opportunity object. I get the mostRecentError of:

This is just bizarre because I specified callout=true in the static function. Any ideas?

« UnTV – An Audience of One
The Pirates, Then and Always »
Paul Watson and the Armada of Death
Let me get this straight. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans, aided by the RCMP, boarded and seized the Dutch-registered protest vessel Farley Mowat in order to prevent injury to sealers — just a couple of weeks after DFO drowned four sealers itself in a terrifying display of incompetence.
And the European master and mate of the vessel have been jailed and charged with offences under a set of "marine mammal protection regulations" that were created specifically to stifle dissent by preventing protesters from approaching seals who are in the process of being slaughtered.
And all this hits the headlines just as the European Union debates whether to ban seal products from the EU completely. A triumph of Canadian diplomacy.
And the Minister, Loyola Hearn, contributes to the calm and rational discussion of the seal hunt by sneering at the internationally-venerated Farley Mowat, who had the effrontery to putup bail money for the jailed officers. Hearn also excoriates Paul Watson's Sea Shepherd Conservation society as "a bunch ofmoney-sucking manipulators."
If money-sucking manipulation is now a crime under the Fisheries Act, perhaps we should send a few fisheries officers to call on The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney. Whether or not Mulroney's skulking encounters with Karlheinz Schreiber were otherwise illegal, there's not much doubt that they represented "money-sucking manipulation" on an Olympic scale.
But that's not true of Paul Watson. Say what you will about Paul Watson — and you can say, with some justice, that he's intransigent, uncompromising, hyperbolic, pugnacious, rash and intemperate — you cannot ascribe cynicism to a man who has spent his whole life charging whaling ships with rubber rafts, getting himself tear-gassed and beaten and jailed, and confronting armed and angry sealers and whalers far out on the cold and lonely sea.
But Hearn, who has spent his entire working life in classrooms and legislatures, says Watson is "gutless." Stunning.
Paul Watson is not a cuddly figure. He doesn't mind risks, and he is not intimidated by the authorities. If they don't give him a permit, he goes to the ice without one and takes the consequences. If he has to go to jail, he goes. If the authorities bar him from the ice, he organizes a shipload of others. If they harass his Canadian ship, he registers it in the Netherlands. If they tell him he can't enter Canadian waters, he stays 13 miles offshore and lets the hunt come to him.
He is utterly devoted to what he's doing. And his passionate commitment reduces DFO and its successive ministers to gibbering, frothing incoherence.
The truth is that two worlds are colliding every spring at the seal hunt. Loyola Hearn represents the fading world-view which holds that human beings somehow rank above all other beings, holding dominion over the living whole and exploiting it without restraint. Watson, a vegan, represents the leading edge of a new world of people who recognize themselves as part of nature, responsible for their stewardship of the natural world, and no more precious than any other species on the planet.
Watson was speaking for that new world when he said that the deaths of the four sealers was a tragedy — but the deaths of 270,000 seals was an even greater tragedy. The striking outcome of that remark — as I saw it on a CBC News poll — was not that many people were outraged by it, but that perhaps two-thirds of the callers agreed with him.
When I first met Watson, I'm quite sure that the proportion would have been reversed — that a single human life would have been considered far more valuable than the lives of any number of animals. That was in 1976, on the ice at the Front, north of Newfoundland. I was reporting on the seal hunt. Watson was there with Greenpeace, of which he was a founding member.
That year, the Front was covered by all the major American TV networks, the wire services, and influential papers like the Boston Globe. The gory images that flashed around the world were a disaster for the sealing industry and the Canadian government. Ever since then, DFO has worked implacably to prevent detailed coverage of the slaughter, and it has largely succeeded. Except for Paul Watson.
In those days we hadn't begun to grasp the damage that human beings had already done to the oceans. We didn't know about the fury of destruction that has eliminated 90% of the world's large predatory fishes. We hadn't watched while DFO "managed" the Atlantic cod and the Pacific salmon into commercial extinction.
But Watson understood in his viscera that we were confronting an armada of death supported by pliant and amoral authority. With growing support, he has fought them ever since — and, with his fellow green warriors — he has changed the world.

My Sunday morning couldn't have turned out brighter–the reason being nothing other than your article, "Paul Watson and the Armada of Death".
The truth needs desperately to be told, and you have accurately pointed out the coverups, lies, and corruption that co-exist with bureaucracy. I wish that all Canadians could read your fabulous article and understand that the world is not the same as it was thirty or forty years ago. In spite of the dinosaurs, the rest of society is evolving. Increasing numbers of citizens are standing with the visionaries who strive so hard to achieve peace–for all species, not just our own.
Thank you so much for sharing the truth with your readers.
prad says:
that has to be one of the best writeups on any topic on the entire internet! the old world, new world dichotomy is as precise as it gets … and paul watson has been showing us into the new world for decades!
For providing intelligent writing I agree the world is wanting change for a better world and the Paul Watson is trying to do this.
I applaud you for writing this.
Lani says:
Thank you for writing this article. It means so much to me read such positive words about my father.

JayP says:
Thank you for this wonderful article Mr. Cameron. It was just this morning I was trying to explain to someone why Paul Watson is one of my all time heroes. Thank you for putting it in words that are not within my ability. And Thank You to Paul Watson!!! I will add that the DFO under the direction..or should I say control of Hearn will go down in history as the period that Canada's fisheries and oceans go down the proverbial toilet.
Finally! A voice of reason in Canada! Thank You! No doubt others in the Martimes feel the same way, but no one else seems to be talking. Silence is complicity. Thank you for breaking that silence. Capt. Watson and the crews of SSCS are to be commended. Kudos, sir!
Ranjana says:
Thank you for your wonderful article. Pointing out the clash between the amoral and destructive forces of the old way and the respect for all life promoted by the new way sheds light on what is happening. Recognizing the courage and determination of those such as Paul Watson who are leading the development of a new world order is inspiring. Your understanding of the issues and and ability to express them so clearly brings hope for change.
Thank you so much for this great article. It really made this Sunday a bright, SUNny DAY for me.
I enjoyed reading every line of your so accurate and clear writing. Yes, the dinosaurs will die out and make place for the Paul Watsons of this planet, and I hope this will happen rather sooner than later. Your article will help to accelerate the porcess.
Thank you for that!
Bravo for an article well written.
This is indeed a clash between two worlds that are also made up of two different qualities of human beings .
Hopefully some day soon everyone will think like Paul Watson.
Then the world will indeed be a better place.Only then will our fellow sentient beings rest from the horrors inflicted on them by humans.
Tove Reece says:
Thank you for your courage to write this article and to say what needed to be said. It must not be easy in this climate of being deemed a traitor if you speak out against the seal slaughter. Your article has exposed the lies piled upon lies by politicians of all stripes, bureaucrats and most of the media. Paul Watson is a visionary with the courage to act on that vision and someday he will be hailed a hero even here in Canada. Thank you for a wonderful and lucid article.
common ground says:
Thank you! We each have our way of putting our love into the world. You have shown us yours with your words. And praises for the life-affirming work of Paul Watson and the members of Sea Shepherd.
One of the best articles I've seen in the Canadian media in years! It's long overdue that the government rhetoric be exposed for what it truly is – lying, manipulative garbage.
I wish for more Paul Watson's in this world. If this were the case, can you only imagine the world of peace and harmony we would be privy to. A world where co-existing and respect for all living beings – regardless of species – would be the norm and no longer vilianized by the likes of politicians and those who choose to remain in the dark ages of violence and dominion.
Thank you again – from a Canadian who cares!
You got it straight as an arrow, Silver Donald. It was a brave and principled stance, not to mention a risky for someone who lives and writes in the Maritimes.
Someone had to say what needs to be said and our politicians are too corrupt and spineless to admit. Paul Watson and his colleagues are visionary leaders not terrorists. And the emperor Loyola Hearn has no clothes – not even a seal coat.
I care about the world and all creatures says:
What a courageous move to write this fantastic article, thank you for speaking out!
Paul Watson is a hero and should be treated as such.
If everyone were like Paul Watson, we would have a much kinder, gentler place to live!
I am so pleased to read such an intelligent article! Thanks again!
Go Nanaimo says:
How right you are Silver Donald Cameron. In the words of another Newfoundlander, General Rick Hillier, we Canadians are led by a bunch of detestable scumbags of whom Loyola Hearn is a prime example. Kudos to Paul Watson and his heroic team. Seal hunting is a national disgrace.
Tanya Petrovna says:
Paul Watson is a living super hero, and my favorite hero. After reading your article I will say you are a leading contender for the spot!
Thank you so much for your eloquent words on the subject.
Extreme Velcro says:
All the way from South Africa, I'd like to say thank you for the comments. It's good to hear from Canadians who care.
THANK YOU for writing such an AWESOME article about AWESOME man and his AWESOME crew!!!!!
I wish the world had more of people like Paul Watson and his dedicated crew members.
Brigitte says:
Very nice article. I´ve met Paul Watson once and was very impressed with what he does.
Maude Duncan says:
Paul Watson is a hero, no a super hero. I'm not religious, but I'm pretty sure the commandment doesn't say "Thou shall not kill humans" I hope there is a special place in hell for the killers and abusers of our animal friends. I feel about as bad for the 4 dead sealers, as they do for the seals they kill. Karma , got them , and I hope it gets the rest of them.
tricia Glynn says:
Thank you, Thank you for a brilliantly written article showing that Paul Watson indeed is the example of what all human beings should be striving for and the change we wish to be. "Speech is Silver, Silence is gold". This quote is as much an anachronism as Hearns himself.
"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor never the tormented." I have always preferred Silver to gold so again thank you Silver Donald for taking a stance on this immoral atrocity.
Karen Barker says:
Paul Watson is a modern day hero. It is so disturbing that the Canadian government can blatantly lie to the public and seemingly get away with it. I am so grateful to have Paul Watson on our planet, working to save our animals because we sure can't rely on our money-grubbing government officials to do that. Hail to Paul Watson, and thank you for writing such an intelligent and honest article.
Richelle says:
Thank you so much Donald for your intelligent words which are so connected the planet.
A very nice, much appreciated and even more needed article. Thanks for taking the time to share this with others.
DeniseA says:
I have been a long time admirer of Paul Watson since first learning of his courageous activism back in the '80′s fighting to protect Whales. He is one man who has stood defiant against the "Armada of Death" on the seas and oceans across the planet.
to Paul Watson and the SeaShepherd crew, thank you for fighting on behalf of these magnificient beings…you have the support of like-minded people from all corners of the globe.
great article, please everyone send EU Commissioner Stavros Dimas a polite message supporting the seal pelt ban if you haven't done so already.

This is a wonderful article, well reasoned and very much to the point. Our politicians are gutless wonders and acting very much against what the majority of Canadian voters believe, that the seal slaughter is cruel and inhumane. Shame on your opportunistic nonsense, Loyola! You and other politicians represent more than a bunch of sealers.
rcraig89 says:
Thank you so much Donald! At least we have one avenue for accurate commentary!
Thankyou so much for standing up to our propagandizing and deceitful government in your wonderful article. The baby harp-seal slaughter is big news in Europe, where the media covers it extensively every spring, replete with video footage. The media in Canada, on the other hand, are almost silent and continue to ignore the pleas of me and my colleagues to broadcast the truth about the massacre… Mr. Cameron, you are to be commended for standing up for baby harp seals and for selfless heroes like Paul Watson and his crew.
Fantastic article! The tide is indeed turning and the biocentric perspective of deep ecology – that all life has intrinsic value – is gaining ground. The likes of Loyala Hearn will never understand anything but the human-centred resource management mentality that's brought the planet to the brink. Paul Watson is a shining light.

What a wonderful article! You have gone straight to the heart of the issue: the seal hunt is about two worlds colliding. The new world view will continue to capture more hearts and each year the opposition to the seal hunt will grow, although the government doesn't realize this yet. They still believe that by harrassing observers they can protect the hunt. I applaud Paul Watson for his courage, Farley Mowat for acting on his beliefs, and Silver Donald Cameron for his eloquence and perception.
Simone deMontfort says:
It is my opinion that the Canadian harp and hooded seal hunt violates international law. As a party to the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), Canada obligated itself to "[c]onsider and undertake any … action that may be required for the achievement of the purposes of this Convention …" Article 23 4(i). The goal of the CBD is to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss as decided by the Conference of the Parties in Decision VI/26. The spirit and the content of the Convention is concerned with the intrinsic value of biological diversity together with the moral and ethical aspects of its protection. The Canadian seal hunts are not only cruel, but also comprise a threat to global biodiversity, thus contradicting the 2010 goal as determined by the parties to the CBD.
The rate of biodiversity loss is increasing at an unprecedented pace. In order to meet the 2010 goal of halting biodiversity loss, parties must ensure that their national policies do not endanger biodiversity. This is something that Canada has failed to do. Reports show that the effects of climate change on the habitats of harp and hooded seals are causing a dramatic reduction in sea ice cover and, consequently, endangering harp and hooded seal populations. The 2007 quota of 250,000 seals and the 2008 quota of 275,000 seals as set by the government of Canada is unsustainable. The total amount of seals killed exceeds even this enormous quota. Many seals shot during these hunts escape beneath the ice where they die slowly and are never recovered. These seals are not counted in official kill statistics, making the actual kill level far higher than the level that is reported.
In order to fulfill its obligations under the CBD, Canada must bring an immediate halt to the seal hunt because it is cruel and threatens global biodiversity. Canada's actions with respect to the seal hunt contradicts the 2010 goal of reducing biodiversity loss as agreed upon by the parties to the CBD. Canada must end the seal hunt to comply with its international legal obligations.
excellent article
Very educational and insightful.
LcoyoteS says:
Thank you for your article – it is like a breath of fresh air in this polluted country! I am glad to hear someone speak out against the ridiculous laws that provide protection for sealers, but none for the seals themselves or for the people who protest their slaughter. Down with Loyola Hearn and all who enforce barbarism!
Clever Dough Kids says:
I just wanted to thank you for your truthful views of Paul Watson and the whole seizement of the Farley Mowat. It is nice to see some true shine above the glory of the press.
I tend to ignore the news on TV and the papers because it never tells us the truth, so I was pleased to see that you have finally shed the truthful light on this issue.
Thank-you once again for your honesty,
Amanda van der Gulik…Excited Life Enthusiast!
Onelifefan says:
I wanted to thank you for your thoughtful commentary about Paul Watson. He really believes in saving the seals, the whales, and many other creatures. I believe in that too.
Thank you from the midwestern United States!!!

TeamYankee says:
I can't agree more with Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd doctrine.
This the straw that may break the EU and casue a total EU ban on seal products. Let's hope so!

Feral swine control projects announced
The Oklahoma Conservation Commission has been selected by the U.S. Agriculture Department to lead two feral swine eradication and control pilot projects funded with a $1 million grant.
Officials said one project focuses on the Western Red River watershed region of Oklahoma (Harmon, Jackson, Cotton and Tillman Counties), while the second focuses on Kay County.
Officials said the Kay County project's goal is to keep its feral swine population in check. Its Western Red River watershed work, also involving conservation partners in Texas, aims to create a "feral swine free zone" along the Red River.
"Oklahoma has struggled with the invasion and exponential growth of feral hogs for years now," said Trey Lam, the commission's executive director.
Commerce Department relaunches website
The Oklahoma Department of Commerce has relaunched its website OKcommerce.gov with a new design, increased customer focus and modern features.
As the lead economic development organization for the state and a provider of services for the state's communities and citizens, commerce works with various audiences, from Oklahomans to global business executives.
To design and develop the site, Commerce worked with Oklahoma City-based Staplegun. Together, the group worked to improve the customer experience on the website and develop numerous new features. Some of these include new ways of contacting the Commerce team, staff bios, an improved contact form for visitor questions and increased mobile/tablet-friendliness.
"As Oklahoma's 'front door' to businesses around the world, we felt it was important for our website to look and feel vibrant and innovative, just like our state," said Sean Kouplen, Secretary of Commerce and Workforce Development. "We have received such positive feedback and have seen an increase in the number of interactions on the site. I'm very proud of our team for their great work to make our vision a reality."
OIC of Oklahoma County schedules meet and greet
Opportunities Industrialization Center of Oklahoma County Inc. (OIC), has scheduled a meet and greet for businesses in the Capitol area community for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday at OIC's office at 3033 N Walnut Ave., Building East.
The goal of the event is to present an opportunity for neighbors to meet and learn what each has to offer, officials said.
"What better way to give back to the community than to get to know each other and strengthen the community? Who knows … neighbors may find new qualified employees, or learn of a needed product or service located just next door," Executive Director DesJean Jones said.
Love's raises funds for sick, injured children
(Story continued below...)
Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores is asking customers to round up the change to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
From Monday through Dec. 6, customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar at any of Love's 505 locations nationwide to help sick and injured children in their local community. This event closes out a record-breaking 20th year of partnership between Love's and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, with more than $3.75 million already raised this year.
"We are so thankful to our loyal customers and employees who donate to CMN Hospitals every year," said Jenny Love Meyer, chief culture officer and executive vice president of Love's. "We can't think of a better way to end our 20th year of giving than by making this final push during the holiday season."
Love's annual Children's Miracle Network Hospitals campaign ran from Aug. 26 to Sept. 30 when customers and employees donated money by purchasing Miracle Balloons, rounding up to the nearest dollar and participating in events, such as 5K runs and fishing tournaments. Since 1999, more than $31 million has been raised for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
