Recovery rising
September saw recovery activities taking place across the UK and Ireland. Richard Cunningham, Alistair Sinclair and Stuart Green look back on a vibrant recovery month.
Protective shield
Recovery is at the heart of a popular annual tournament in Gateshead, as Richard Cunningham explains
This September Gateshead International Football Stadium played host to a football event with a difference. The majority of the players involved in the tournament were recovered, or in recovery, from drug or alcohol dependency.
The recovery shield is an annual tournament organised by Turning Point. It has been going from strength to strength and is now in its third year, with each year seeing more players and teams competing. What started off as a local tournament has become a national event, with healthy regional patriotism adding to the tournament's competitive edge. This year we had a record 20 teams and more than 200 people took part.
It is my hope and one of the main aims of the recovery shield that the growing profile of the tournament will help to break down the stigma often associated with alcohol and drug dependency in wider society. Without concerted efforts to bridge the gap into the community, there is a chance that people in the early stage of recovery can be left feeling more and more isolated, making sustained recovery much more difficult to achieve.
Working in the substance misuse field we know that dependency on alcohol and drugs does not discriminate. It is not restricted to certain segments of society, nor is it a question of age or gender. When an individual is dependent it can often be hugely difficult to see a way of escaping the problem, and that is why it is so important that events like the recovery shield exist to not only support people in their recovery but to give a wider reason to recover and reassurance that it is possible.
As Tommy Armstrong, one of the players from this year's winning team Norcare, said: 'Everyone participating took it as an opportunity to make friends and show the outside world that we are not all the same and people can make a difference to their lives with support and social interaction.'
The event provides a meeting place and an activity that enables those in recovery to come together in an environment without judgement – a place to meet new people and share experiences. This can assist with recovery and, more importantly, provide a situation where the players can feel comfortable and be themselves.
I am not claiming that events like this are the magic cure for those in recovery but they can go a long way towards helping people reintegrate back into their community, to show that there is life after dependency.
The game itself is also shown to have a positive effect on people's mental health. Players feel part of a team, which is very important to those who can often feel outside of, or removed from, society. In the tournament these players become part of a collective that must work together to progress through the rounds. Those who have played in football games, or any team sport for that matter, will know that you need to place an element of trust in your team mates and the importance of this simple human connection cannot be overplayed.
The recovery shield is all about partnership working. Scott Duncan from HMP Northumberland, a key partner in the event, spoke about his involvement:
'I was delighted to be involved in the 2013 recovery shield and feel the whole event was a huge success. The players who participated were a credit to their various organisations and testimony to this is the fact that we had a total of 52 matches and at no time was a player 'sin-binned' for inappropriate behaviour. Bringing together teams from various areas encourages integration and sportsmanship, this was evident in abundance.
'My personal role as HMP Northumberland's representative in the community is to assist ex-offenders on their recovery journey to minimise the likelihood of reoffending. Sport is a hugely important part of recovery and clients who attend the gym on a regular basis whilst in custody are given excellent tuition on health and training by the PE department at HMP Northumberland. This support is carried on to when they are released through the SAS (Sport After Sentence) project when they are given advice and guidance on local sport and gym opportunities.'
David McCormack, who played for North East Athletic at the tournament added:
'The recovery shield is strongly becoming one of the most celebrated events in the recovery community both in the North East and further afield. It celebrates the changes in people's lives and also gives renewed hope to those around, by allowing them to understand there is something else out there other than addiction.
The tournament has been a fantastic success and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the winning team Norcare. The awards and recognition are great of course but the recovery shield is all about coming together, as individuals in recovery, partner agencies, friends and family and all those who work in the substance misuse field to celebrate and promote recovery. This is at the heart of everything we do.

We made the path
With its ambitious walks and varied activities across the country, the vision of a recovery month became a reality, says Alistair Sinclair
As I write this, on the last day of September, I'm on my way to the Wirral to attend the ARCH 20th anniversary recovery event and mark the end of the first UK recovery month. This seems particularly apt as a few days ago I attended the official launch of Hope Springs, a new recovery centre in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, where Mark Gilman, recovery lead at Public Health England, talked about the heroin explosion on the Wirral in the mid-80s. Mark said that nearly 30 years later, people on the Wirral were 'finding recovery' with the same people who had introduced them to heroin, and he went on to talk about the vital importance of authenticity, healthy social networks and visible recovery in communities.
Recovery was very visible at the fifth UK recovery walk in Birmingham on 22 September. Around 5,000 people from all over the UK walked through the city centre, celebrating community strengths, solidarity and the importance of building friendships and connections. Organised and delivered by the Birmingham Recovery Community (you can find them on Facebook) the UK recovery walk was the big celebration in a recovery month that saw events in many places across the UK. The UKRF had promoted the 'idea' of a recovery month through its networks, and we were pleased – if not a little relieved – to see 49 recovery events (that we're aware of) take place throughout September. This year was a bit of a rehearsal for future years, but it saw thousands of people engaged in making recovery visible and making new connections in many places across communities.
On 1 September more than 100 people from Birmingham, Chester, Coventry, Leicester, Lancashire, Bradford and North Wales, climbed 3,600 feet to mark the beginning of recovery month, raising a purple flag of recovery on Snowdon's summit. Gloucestershire and Cumbria held their first recovery walks and Weston held its second. In Lancashire, 55 very determined people endured appalling rain to climb to the top of Pendle Hill. There were other walks – some in fancy dress and sponsored – in Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe and Leicester and a bike ride in Morecambe. Dublin held its second Irish recovery walk and there were recovery celebrations in Ayr, Durham, Doncaster, Cardiff and Liverpool. There were film nights in Wigan and Blackpool, football tournaments in York, Burnley and Lancaster; an art exhibition in Liverpool; a festival in Oxford; a recovery awareness day in Kingston and the opening of Café Hub in Blackburn.
The UKRF ran six workshops in recovery month exploring community values and strengths in Derbyshire, Rochdale, Norwich and Birkenhead. Working in partnership with the Derbyshire NHS Trust, we brought people from the worlds of mental health and drug recovery together at a national conference in Chesterfield to explore shared values and begin work on a recovery model for the whole community.
Ruth Passman from NHS England spoke at our conference and invited recovery community members to an NHS values summit in Manchester. The summit was opened by the head of NHS England, Sir David Nicholson, who described it as taking place in 'national recovery month'. This idea – a month that brings people together to champion recovery in its widest sense, celebrating and promoting wellbeing for all within communities – became a reality in September.
For recovery activists involved in September's activities, 2013 will be a significant year. The British recovery movement, a movement that places individual and community wellbeing above drug or alcohol or mental health status, is finally on the move. Watch out for recovery month 2014.

In it to win
Giving something back to the community gave a winning formula to Doncaster's recovery games, says Stuart Green
Every year at New Beginnings, part of Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, we look to raise sponsorship for Aurora, a local cancer respite charity. This year, one of the staff at New Beginnings, Neil Firbank, came up with the brainwave of the recovery games. The idea came from discussing with a colleague and group members what had inspired them over the past year and the Olympics and Para-Olympics kept coming up – actually seeing and believing in others who had achieved something to be proud of appeared to be the main reasons. So we decided to go ahead with the recovery games.
The original idea was to have local teams competing against each other, while raising money for charity. This would give them the opportunity to give something back to their local community, learn to work together in a team with staff and each other as well as reducing stigma within our community. We were looking to attract between four and eight teams of up to ten members. Once we got the message out with the venue – a local activity centre with its own marina, part of Doncaster Cultural Leisure Trust (DCLT) – it became apparent that this was going to go viral. We closed registration with 22 teams and had to turn away four further teams of ten.
The day began with a zumba demonstration as a warm-up, with people competing against each other in eight rounds of events. These included a gladiator duel climb, low rope challenge, kata-canoe race, eliminator run, team archery, the boom blaster, giant buzz wire and a demolition wrecking ball.
The event was pitched in the summer holidays to attract a family atmosphere and there was plenty for spectators to do, including a bouncy castle, face painter and a circus entertainer mingling with the crowd. The children competed in a space hopper grand national, with the fastest time over three age groups being awarded recovery games gold medals.
At New Beginnings it was a frantic week leading up to it – the arts and crafts room was abuzz making banners, costumes and the podium for the winners. We gained a lot of support from people we work in partnership with, who kindly donated time or money to the event. This resulted in every participant getting a medal presented by the mayor of Doncaster and our assistant director, Ian Joustra, with the winners receiving gold medals and a commemorative shield. During the lunch break we had live jazz and a raffle for locally sourced produce from the place where our service users volunteer. As well as entertaining the crowds, a strong message of health and wellbeing was promoted throughout the whole day, with a number of stalls from the community fire safety team, local carers groups, complementary therapy taster sessions and free physical health checks.
On the morning, it was pouring down with rain and we really didn't know what to expect. But suddenly coaches, cars and people started turning up in their masses. We had more than 300 people attend. There was a clear buzz in the air and a competitive but respectful edge for each other among the teams. The local campers thought the Martians had landed and could not work out what was happening to their tranquil camping site next door. As the weather improved, more people arrived and the catering facilities did not stop all day.
The culmination of the day was a united feeling that recovery could be fun, competitive and a genuinely viable option. We had teams from Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Doncaster, Chesterfield, York, Rotherham and Sheffield, to name just a few, and more than £400 was raised for charity. Feedback is still pouring in as to how much people enjoyed the day itself, from local community members, staff and of course those in recovery. This looks like it's going to become an annual event, with York expressing an interest to take it forward next year.
Oh, and finally, there was no fix but New Beginnings won – all that training paid off!

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have congratulated Super Eagles attacker, Victor Moses, for his role in English Premier League triumph with Chelsea last Sunday.
Moses, who was given a place back in Chelsea by the coming of new coach, Antonio Conte was a prominent player in the Chelsea side that won the EPL after the 5-1 routing of Sunderland on the final day.
Moses, who had failed to tie down a place in the Roman Army – which prompted his loan moves to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United, repaid Antonio Conte's faith in him with impressive showings this season.
The 26-year-old got three goals in 34 appearances for the Blues as they marched to their sixth English topflight conquest plus a place in the FA Cup where they battle cross-city rivals, Arsenal.
Moses has however missed the Super Eagles last friendly match against Senegal in London, due to injury, and was left out by Coach Gernot Rohr in his Super Eagles list that is expected to face the national team of Corsica and Togo in France on May 26 and June 1 respectively.
The Super Eagles strong man is however expected to return when the Super Eagles list will be released next week for the all important AFCON 2019 qualifying match against South Africa in Uyo on June 10.

Q: How to permanently change window icon at runtime? I'm trying to allow the user of my application to set their own custom icons, but loading the icon file through LoadImage function and setting it via WM_SETICON message doesn't seem to do the trick. The icon in Windows explorer doesn't update, and the ones on task bar and in upper left corner reset each time I run the program (the user has to set them again). None of these problems occurred when I used resources instead, but I can't change the .rc file after I compile the program, do I? What am I doing wrong? I have a menu function which calls GetOpenFileName to get icon file, then loads it through LoadImage and sets via SendMessage.
Here's my code (I skipped checking return values of functions to shorten the code)
void DoFileIcon(HWND hwnd)
{
    OPENFILENAME ofn;
    char szFileName[MAX_PATH] = "";

    ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn));
    ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
    ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd;
    ofn.lpstrFilter = "Icons (*.ico)\0*.ico\0All files (*.*)\0*.*\0";
    ofn.lpstrFile = szFileName;
    ofn.nMaxFile = MAX_PATH;
    ofn.Flags = OFN_EXPLORER | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY;
    ofn.lpstrDefExt = "ico";

    if(GetOpenFileName(&ofn))
    {
        HICON hIcon, hIconSm;
        hIcon = LoadImage(NULL, szFileName, IMAGE_ICON, 32, 32,
        LR_LOADFROMFILE);
        SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, (LPARAM)hIcon);
        hIconSm = LoadImage(NULL, szFileName, IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16,
        LR_LOADFROMFILE);
        SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, (LPARAM)hIconSm);
    }
}

A: By the icon in Windows Explorer I presume you mean the icon associated by the shell with the .exe file. That is always determined to be the first icon resource in the file. Unless you are prepared to allow modifications to the .exe file, then you won't be able to change this. And I would strongly advise you not to modify your .exe file after deployment. That is liable to lead to corruptions and will appear suspicious to anti-malware software.
As for the icon associated with your main window, that is simple enough. You already know how to change that, send WM_SETICON messages. Or register the custom icon when you register the window class. Your problem here appears to be simply that your program does neither of these things on startup, but instead only when you make a call to DoFileIcon. The system isn't going to remember the custom icon for you, you need to write code to do that. Store the information in the registry, or an application configuration file. Then at application startup, read this configuration, and apply the custom icon.


Moves Media is making moves Monday, re-launching its longtime magazine as a digital site covering more than its traditional luxury athlete focus.
MovesMagazine.com is currently in beta, set to launch in January 2015 in the buildup to the Super Bowl. During Super Bowl week, Moves will partner with Stealth SME to co-sponsor the Players Gala Golf Classic at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. It will also host a VIP Super Bowl viewing party and post-Super Bowl Players Gala at Drai's on the Las Vegas Strip, hosted by NFL great Warren Moon.
The new site will feature a wide mix of content and platforms: a special digital collectors' edition of Moves magazine, starting with a joint Super Bowl/Hollywood Awards season issue; a video channel dubbed movesTV and blogs.


In dutch oven or soup pot, heat oil on medium heat and add onion, celery, carrots until onions are translucent.
Add chopped garlic and jalapeño and stir about one more minute.
Add tomatoes and stock and chicken and bring to boil. Once chicken is cooked, remove from pot, let cool and shred.
Simmer on low heat and put chicken in pot and add noodles, dry spices (salt, pepper, coriander, turmeric and cumin) and juice from two limes.
Keep on low heat or remove from heat when noodles are cooked, about 5 minutes.
Serve with a dash of cilantro leaves and slices of lime.
Thank you so much for sharing this delicious soup, Jessica. I sauteed the onion first and when it got good and brown, I mixed in the celery and carrots. I ended up finishing the soup in a crock pot because that is the largest pot I have.
Delicious on a cold wet. Easy too. A great basic to be creative with. :) Thanks.
We really enjoyed this. I made as directed except two things: I added the dry spices when I removed the chicken so they had more time to do their thing, and I added some corn and cabbage I had in the fridge. Beans would be a nice addition if you want bulk, but I liked the fact that the soup was light. Don't skip the lime juice!
This was great! I only had a half pound of chicken so I added a can of black beans.
I also served this with some chopped avocado on top.
Great fall/winter soup. I used boneless thighs and it came out great. Also added a few slices of pickled jalapeño for a little kick. Once ladled in a bowl we topped with a farmers market pepper jack cheese we had in fridge. Fantastic! Great to freeze in small containers for work.
This is a great soup. I make it all the time, and freeze it. The only change I make is I prebake the chicken at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Really great recipe. It's very customizable and quick to make. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this soup. It was straightforward, but tasty. The flavors melded overnight and the soup tasted best microwaved as leftovers.
This recipe is wonderful. Yes, easy. Also tastes great if I have to vary a bit because of what's in my refrigerator. First time, I had no carrots; not a problem. Also, I had only one can of tomatoes, so added a little tomato paste -- worked fine. I added more water with some salt because this was very "stew-y" which is yummy, but I wanted mine to be broth-ier. Also, made it a hearty lunch by serving in a shallow bowl with a runny fried egg on top -- perfection! Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks I fixed the lime juice- its basically two limes juiced and then have slices to garnish.
I wish I knew the correct nutritional elements to this great dish! I tried to work it out with a program I have and the sodium count was way off the chart. I'd also like to know what the serving size is. I assumed 8 oz. Thank you. My neighbors and I enjoyed the soup along with the corn meal muffins which accompanied it.
Probably due to the sodium content in the canned tomatoes.


It's that time of year again, where you get to hear me be silly and talk about stretchy pants and soggy pie bottoms on the radio with Missy Maki. She is an amazing talk show host with a weekly show on KPAM 860, Sundays from 10am-12. This is the second year she has put this show together of local bloggers sharing recipes using local ingredients. Last year I shared an apple pie recipe, and a mashed yams recipe. After hearing so many people are terrified of making pies, I decided to share the pies cousin, a galette. It is rustic pie, basically, baked on it's own without a vessel. I thought this could be less intimidating, and equally delicious. I prefer galettes to pies simply because the ratio of filling to crust. The flaky crust is where it's at for me, so more crust equals better. Hence my obsession with galette.
How easy will this be, you ask? So super easy. Follow the photos, ask me questions, and you are in major galette business.
Freeze the other dough half not used, or double the recipe for the filling. You can freeze the entire galette with the fruit filling until needed for up to 6 months. When needed, place in oven at 400 degrees, bake for 50 minutes.
For the Cranberry Filling: A few approaches here, use an already made cranberry sauce if you have one on hand, make this cranberry sauce I just made, or cook the cranberries following these simple instructions below.
Cook all of the cranberry filling ingredients in a medium saucepan for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool while preparing dough.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the oven rack at the bottom of the oven for best results, and to prevent a soggy bottom.
1. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl, whisk. Add the super cold cubed butter chunks, and rub the flour into the butter with hands until pea sized butter is achieved, working quickly but gently, as to not overwork the dough. Add a couple of tbsp of water to bring the dough together, you may need to add more if the dough is too shaggy.
2. Place the dough on a lightly floured counter, and bring the dough together with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap or towel and place in the fridge for 15 minutes. Start working on the apple filling. Place the apples. sugar, salt, orange juice and flour in a bowl. Add the cranberry sauce to the apples, once the cranberry cooled down.
3. Take the dough out after 15 minutes and roll it out to 1/2 inch thick. Take 1/3 of it and fold it in, then fold the other 1/3 in. Place in fridge again for 15 minutes. Remove dough from fridge. Lightly dust counter with flour. Cut dough in half using a bench scraper or knife. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick.
4. Place rolled out galette dough on a sheet pan. Place the apple cranberry filling in the center of the galette. Fold sides of the dough over the fruit. Brush sides with the egg wash.
At this point, bake for 40 minutes, or place the sheet pan in the freezer. Freeze raw galette with filling for 30 minutes. Place in a freezer bag. Remove and place in oven to bake when needed. If baking frozen galette, bake for 50 minutes.
1. Place the cream, salt, and sugar in a bowl. By hand use a whisk until whipped cream soft peaks are formed, or use a mixer with whisk attachment until soft peaks are formed. Serve with galette.
Yay for stretchy pants on Thanksgiving (and maybe the day after). I personally love galettes more than pie, but I think it's because I'm less of a sweets person and like savory, and there are so many savory versions of galettes! Gorgeous photos – I always appreciate seeing exactly how the dough is supposed to look.
Thank you so much! I am still in stretchy pants by the way:).

Q: Authenticate to an Azure webapp through a second app registration using an Azure user token? Working scenario
I have an Azure web application (https://www.contoso.com) to which I want to authenticate against and perform web call on.
I want to authenticate myself using Connect-AzAccount and make calls to it using my own identity.
I use the following code with success to obtain a valid token and call the application.
#Authenticate as myself or a sevice principal
Connect-AzAccount -Tenant 'a736bac3-c259-450f-90a4-f7d5bd7c4c78'

# App registration ID for Contoso
$ResourceUri = '24114488-8c26-4e87-8f71-90de62f5a8aa'
$Context = [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Abstractions.AzureRmProfileProvider]::Instance.Profile.DefaultContext
$token = [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.AzureSession]::Instance.AuthenticationFactory.Authenticate($context.Account, $context.Environment, $context.Tenant.Id.ToString(), $null, [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.ShowDialog]::Never, $null, $ResourceUri).AccessToken
$Headers = @{Headers = @{Authorization = "Bearer $token" } }
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -uri 'https://Contoso.com/module/Something' @Headers

That being said, the application itself does not implement forced user & groups assignment.
Instead, everybody can connect to it (by design).
The problematic
The solution presented above requires me to add Powershell Azure (1950a258-227b-4e31-a9cf-717495945fc2) in the list of Authorized client application to enable this scenario. By doing this operation, anybody in my directory can now technically make calls to the website, which is not desired.

Desired Scenario
Because user assignment is not enforced, I removed the Powershell Azure client from the main app and instead created a second App Registration for which I authorized the PS AZ client and added an API permission so it had access to the main App. The idea is that I can require user assignement for the second app registration and therefore limit the user that can make these kind of calls.
Initial (working) flow:

*

*Connect-AzAccount authenticate the user

*Code sample above is ran to obtain the token and call the app.

Desired flow

*

*Connect-AzAccount authenticate the user

*User connect through the client app registraion (new app) that has api permission to the main app.

*User make calls to the main app.

Now, if I try to use my initial code sample with the Application Id of the second registration acting as a client ID, I get the following error
Invoke-RestMethod : {"code":401,"message":"IDX10214: Audience validation failed. Audiences: '[PII is hidden]'. Did not
match: validationParameters.ValidAudience: '[PII is hidden]' or validationParameters.ValidAudiences: '[PII is hidden]'."}
At line:1 char:12
+ $result2 = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -uri 'https://Contoso.com/so...
+            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebExcept
   ion
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

I believe that this is because I am obtaining a token for the second app registration and trying to call the main app URL, which is not authorized through the token.
A "working" alternative to this problem would be to connect using Client_credentials as grant_type such as this:
function get-Bearer([string]$TenantID, [string]$ClientID, [string]$ClientSecret) {
    $TokenEndpoint = "https://login.windows.net/{0}/oauth2/token" -f $TenantID

    $Body = @{
        'resource'      = '24114488-8c26-4e87-8f71-90de62f5a8aa'
        'client_id'     = $ClientID
        'grant_type'    = 'client_credentials'
        'client_secret' = $ClientSecret
    }

    $params = @{
        ContentType = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        Headers     = @{'accept' = 'application/json' }
        Body        = $Body
        Method      = 'Post'
        URI         = $TokenEndpoint
    }

    $token = Invoke-RestMethod @params

    Return "Bearer " + ($token.access_token).ToString()
}

If I do that, even though I can make calls to the main app. again but it is connected with the actual client app. and not using the user identity obtained through Connect-AzAccount (for which tokens can be generated through the initial sample)
I was also able to make it work with a password grant_type but this is not making use of my bearer token and is also invalidated by MFA enabled users.
All insights are welcome.

(digging around the application flow to try and get something working)

A: Application app ids, not object ids, should be used as resources identifiers. Keep getting tokens using the first application (24114488-8c26-4e87-8f71-90de62f5a8aa) as resource/audience (using its application id uri) and the second application as client. Connect-Az will be out of the equation.
#Install the ADAL.PS package if it's not installed.
if(!(Get-Package adal.ps)) { Install-Package -Name adal.ps }

$authority = "https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize"
#this is the security and compliance center endpoint
$resourceUrl = "{first application id uri}"
#replace <redirect-uri>, with the Redirect URI from your Azure AD application registration.
$clientId = "{second application app id}"
$redirectUri = "<redirect-uri>"

$response = Get-ADALToken -Resource $resourceUrl -ClientId $clientId -RedirectUri $redirectUri -Authority $authority -PromptBehavior:Always
$response.AccessToken | clip

A: I finally succeeded in my attempt.
In case my initial question was confusing, I "simply" wanted to connect as myself on Web API B using an intermediary Web API A
The reason was that I could not implement control access on Web API  B (it is a requirement that it is available for all users of the tenant) and I also could not add Powershell client ID to Web API B directly as this would have allowed everyone to obtain a token and make call to Web API B using Powershell.
Therefore, I needed the intermediary Web API A to allow Powershell client ID and provide a controlled / limited user access to Web API B
There is a flow in the Microsoft identity platform and Oauth 2.0 called On-Behal-Of flow which allow exactly that scenario.

Prerequisites
App Registration for Web API B

*

*API Permission: Delegated permission to User.Read (Graph API)

*Expose an API: add a User_Impersonation scope and the Application ID of Web API A in the authorized client ID

App Registration for Web API A

*

*In Api Permissions, add the User_Impersonation scope of Web API B
From there, the following code will get you connected
Connect-AzAccount -TenantId '584e32bc-214f-4046-89e5-79b7bac9ae75'

$Params = @{
    ClientId     = '6788d279-fb83-4962-b371-445479875e0e'
    ClientSecret = '16cc0f3d88cb4dd189fe6bf8e845982d'
    resourceId   = 'aeefa559-cb1c-41eb-ac5d-0bcb0bc01eaf'
    Scope        = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/user.read+offline_access'
}

function Get-AzCustomTokenOnBehalOf {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        $ClientId,
        $ClientSecret,
        #Application ID of the target resource
        $ResourceId,
        $Scope
    )

    # Get Token For WebApp A $TenantId
    $Context = [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Abstractions.AzureRmProfileProvider]::Instance.Profile.DefaultContext
    $IntermediaryToken = [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.AzureSession]::Instance.AuthenticationFactory.Authenticate($context.Account, $context.Environment, $context.Tenant.Id.ToString(), $null, [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.ShowDialog]::Never, $null, $ClientId).AccessToken
    $TokenUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$($Context.Tenant.Id)/oauth2/token"

    $FinalToken = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $TokenUri -Method Post -Body @{
        grant_type          = 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer'
        resource            = $ResourceId
        client_id           = $ClientId
        client_secret       = $ClientSecret
        assertion           = $IntermediaryToken
        scope               = $Scope
        requested_token_use = 'on_behalf_of'
    }

    return $FinalToken
}

$Token = Get-AzCustomTokenOnBehalOf @Params
$Headers = @{Headers = @{Authorization = "bearer $($Token.access_token)" } }

$MYsite = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -uri 'https://SomeWebsite.com/' @Headers

Additional considerations
This scenario do require a client secret (This is the one I demonstratedO  or a client certificate in order to work.
It is also subject to some limitations defined in the reference documentation and might not be suitable to all scenarios.

Give the fat ones a toss, too; they're all toxic. Here's why.
Although I was overweight for most of the 17 years I spent dieting and bingeing, there was a bit of time—a year and a half to be exact—during which my weight loss whittled myself down to bare bones. In those years, "anorexic" was not yet a household word, but nevertheless, there I was at 82 pounds—and still thinking I was fat!
When I finally stopped starving myself, I doubled my weight, gaining 80 pounds in 2 months. The only clothing remnant of my size-zero body was a pair of jeans into which I could now barely fit my arm. Still, I kept those jeans front and center in my closet for 3 years. Three years of opening the closet door, seeing my former life, yelling at myself for being a disgusting, out-of-control loser, and, if that wasn't enough, reminding myself cruelly that I would never have the weight loss, or the life, I wanted.
Here's my advice about clothing that doesn't fit you now: Get rid of them. Give them away to your friends, your children, the homeless, battered women's shelters, or cancer projects. Have a bonfire and burn them. Take your scissors and cut them up for quilt pieces. Do anything but keep them in your closet.
And here's why: Keeping thin (or thinner) clothes in your closet will not help you with your weight loss. Keeping fat clothes in your closet will not take away your fear of failure. They will not inspire you, they will not give you willpower, they will not kick-start you into eating less. Holding on to thin or fat clothing is like hanging a shrieking voice in your closet that automatically turns on when you open the door.
One of my students, Karen, told me that she was afraid to give away her thin clothing because it made her feel like she was giving away hope. Yup, I told her, I can see why you would think that, since so many of us believe that change only happens when we force or deprive or punish ourselves into behaving differently. But how about trying something else? I asked her if she'd be willing to give away the clothing that screamed "failure" at her and then buy a few luscious, soft pieces of clothing that she loved in her present size, even if it wasn't her ideal or natural weight. Karen was hesitant at first; she didn't want to get too comfortable in a body that needed weight loss. But since having thinner clothing around hadn't helped her take off the pounds, she figured it was worth the risk.
When she wasn't berating herself, or allowing her clothes to berate her, she could relax. When she relaxed, she said, she was better able to eat when she was hungry and stop when her body had enough. Why? Because she was no longer eating to quell the voice that kept telling her what a failure she was.
We need to give ourselves the message that we are compassionate, sensitive, intelligent human beings who deserve to be treated with tenderness, no matter what body size we are today. We can start in our closets. We can give away all the mean voices those clothes represent, because the truth is, we already have enough of them in our heads.
And by the way, I just happened to see a gold lamé motorcycle jacket the other day in a thrift store. When it comes to clothing, it's important to remember that a little glitz is always a good thing.
New Homes for Your Clothes Many churches, hospitals, community organizations, and government agencies accept donated clothing for the needy or for fund-raising thrift shops. To find one near you, check local newspapers for clothing drives or contact your county's social service agencies or the United Way. Women's clothes suitable for job interviews can be donated to Dress for Success, an international organization with more than 75 affiliates that outfit low-income women looking for jobs.

I was going to title this tutorial "How To Backup Gmail Contacts" and then I realized that would be silly since Gmail contacts are already backed up in the Google cloud. On the other hand, if you want to transfer your contacts to Outlook, Exchange, or another Gmail account –you need to know how to export. Let's get started.
Login to your Gmail account at http://mail.google.com/.
In the left pane of Gmail, Click the Contacts tab. Your contacts list should open up on the right. Now Click More actions and Select Export… from the list.
ATTN Google Apps Users: Your Contacts button may be in a different location, check just above the Chat list in the left-panel.
A new dialog will appear, Choose which contacts you would like to export. Now you will need to pick what format you want to export it as, there are 3 types.
Click Export once you've chosen the appropriate format. Depending upon what browser you are using, it should automatically save to your default Download folder.
Now your Gmail or Google Apps contacts are exported and saved to a file that you can transfer to other accounts or applications. And, it virtually painless! The file will likely be called contacts.csv, and it will be in the default download folder for your internet browser. Now all you need to do is import your contacts, but we'll cover that in another groovy tutorial.

How Marvel's Loki Became A Bi-curious Villain
He's Here
The shape-shifting star of Thor: The Dark World has been outed by his comic-book creator. Can audiences get down with a bisexual leading man?
Sujay Kumar
Updated Jul. 11, 2017 6:21PM ET / Published Nov. 09, 2013 5:45AM ET
Walt Disney Co.
In Norse mythology, Loki is a shape-shifting god who enjoys the occasional turn as a woman. The gender bender doesn't discriminate—sometimes he's even a female animal. In fact, Loki was once mounted by a stallion. He then gave birth to an eight-legged horse.
So when comic book writer Al Ewing, who's working on the solo story Loki: Agent of Asgard, wrote on Tumblr recently that the character would be bisexual and that he would "shift between genders," it wasn't a huge surprise.
Marvel has yet to confirm this new direction for the character, perhaps because the whole idea of a queer superhero is complicated by the fictional character's other gig: as arguably the most popular character in a string of blockbuster superhero movies, from The Avengers to this weekend's Thor: The Dark World, which has already raked in $100 million overseas and could match that total in domestic receipts within days. Yet according to those who know the comic book world, the whole discussion is moot: Loki's fluid gender has nothing to do with sexual orientation at all. It's about guile, and that's why we Loki.
Played masterfully by English actor Tom Hiddleston, the movie version of Loki, Thor's brother, is sensitive and slim, with long hair and feminine features. (Just watch this scene.) He wears a long coat that resembles a dress. In the new film, Loki morphs himself into Captain America, glances in the general direction of his crotch, and says that his suit feels tight. Still not convinced? A Chinese theater accidentally displayed a fan-made poster of Thor and Loki in a romantic embrace.
At a recent screening, Hiddleston was applauded whenever he appeared on screen. People like him. Christian Bale's Batman, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, and Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man were fine in tights. But they're essentially just crimefighting bros.
Lex Fajardo, creator of the graphic novel series Kid Beowulf, really likes Loki, too. In his series, characters say "Holy Loki" when something exciting happens. His three-year-old border collie is named Loki. But Fajardo says applying the word "bisexual" to the movie version of his favorite hero—or any other fixed label—is nearly impossible. "With Loki you never know what you're going to get! Will he be helpful or will he be deceitful? Will he look like a human or a horse? Will he be a he or a she?"
He's not alone in that assessment. Roger Langridge, who wrote the comic-book series Thor: The Mighty Avenger in 2010, doesn't think the "flimsy" nature of an imaginative character can even support the moral weight of this conversation. "It's a potentially interesting subject," he says. "But in a superhero comic it'll probably just get in the way of all the fighting and pretty costumes." If it were up to him, Langridge would make the comics resemble the movies, at least superficially, because that's what a new generation of readers wants. He's right. And that's essentially what's being done.
Inevitably, however, the labels will be affixed. Moviegoers will call Loki "gay" or "bisexual" or whatever else. And that could be problematic. An examination of the cover of Ewing's book reveals something unsettling, as gay author Andy Mangels points out. It's right there, in big letters: "Prince of Lies." "When you're dealing with an amoral antihero style character who is generally portrayed as a villain and a liar, who uses trickery as their modus operandi, that can play into different psychological elements," Mangels says, "What does that say about women? And gay people?"
"Male villains are often portrayed as effeminate," says Paige Braddock, author of the lesbian-friendly comic strip Jane's World. Disney is a notorious offender (remember Jafar?) "Chicks, historically, have gotten bad press."
Then again, it wasn't so long ago there was a truly effeminate main character in a blockbuster superhero film—one who was cheered and loved in spite of his nefarious plots to kill everyone in his fictional universe. It was Heath Ledger's Joker, and he was still pretty cool.


The image is rather a big giveaway on what exactly the '5th Best Invention in the last 25 Years' is! Fake Tan is the answer!
Tanning has come such a long way in really a very short space of time and I am most dedicated into hunting for the perfect tan for my skin tone. I am naturally quite fair, with pinky tones to the skin and I am very fussy over what colour a tan turns my skin. For example, St Tropez Mousse or the classic tan just does not suit me. It gives me a really muddy brown colour rather than the bronze brown that I would go naturally.
So when an opportunity came up to attend a Xen-Tan event in Manchester (thanks to a #northernbloggersunite campaign spearheaded by Rebecca of Be Beautiful and Lauren of The Beauty Habit in conjunction with Wizard PR) I quite honestly jumped at the chance.
I love the feeling of being tanned and will happily sunbathe on holiday or apply a fake tan product. Whilst I totally appreciate the dangers of sunbeds I mainly don't use them as I have a really weird phobia of them, there are just too many horror stories and I am quite claustrophobic so I stay well clear of them. I had 2 favourites tan wise that I used which were the Garnier Spray Tan in Intense Bronze and also Fake Bake Flawless both which give me a nice colour. Only issue is that I ALWAYS seem to make errors especially on my hands! So that's why I was really keen to go and learn about tans, how best to apply and also the best one for me.
I have never used Xen-Tan* and I am extremely impressed with the product. It gives a really natural colour and it doesn't smell! We were treated to a spray tan at the event and everyone has commented on how well I look and how my tan looks completely natural. I am so happy with the results and I have booked for 2 Xen Tan Spray Tans over the next few weeks for the various weddings and hen-do's I am attending.
I really can't recommend Xen-Tan* highly enough and the event was fantastic. It was really nice to engage with Xen-Tan and the other beauty bloggers and I had such a great time meeting everyone.
Here are a few photos from the event, and also a picture of me! For some reason my body looks super tanned but I did not think my foundation choice through and have a really weirdly pale face in comparison to my body! I can assure you that my face does match my body, I simply made a foundation shade error when putting my face on!
It was such a good event! Those massage chairs were amazing.

Q: PHP PSR-12 is this a syntax error in example? Source: https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/#43-properties-and-constants
In the 4.3 Properties and Constants section of PSR-12 there is a following example:

A property declaration looks like the following:

    <?php
    namespace Vendor\Package;
    class ClassName
    {
        public $foo = null;
        public static int $bar = 0;
    }

But when i try to run this it causes syntax error like this:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'int' (T_STRING), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST) on line 6

Is this a syntax error in the PSR-12 example?
P.S.
For Praveen Kumar Purushothaman.
My question is about why in the PSR-12 there is a code example that doesn't work in current release of PHP?
So right now this is an error in the PSR?
Or it was done intentionally by the author?

Steel siding is one of the most popular materials used today to make Kansas City homes not only more beautiful, but more energy efficient as well.
Whether your home is showing its age or you simply want a solution that requires no painting and very little maintenance, this is the way to go.
Other than steel siding, what are your other options and how do they stack up?
Vinyl, stucco, stone veneer, cement fiber, aluminum and wood are some of the materials used to improve the appearance of a home and reduce the amount and frequency of maintenance required to give a home curb appeal.
Vinyl is a popular choice among the best Kansas City siding companies, however there are a few drawbacks. Fading, warping in extreme temperatures, and cracking are a few of the concerns – and those who are concerned about the environment may steer clear of this type of material.
Stucco, unlike steel siding, may or may not need to be painted over the years. Frequently made of synthetic materials, some homeowners have had problems with this type of siding.
Aluminum was often used "back in the day," however while it is considered by many as environmentally friendly, you may experience fading and dents. While steel siding is extremely durable, aluminum is not as durable.
Cement fiber is a durable choice, however installation can be problematic due to its heavy weight; this type of siding is far heavier than wood, and not suitable for concealing problems with underlying frames.
Today, most companies use precast stone veneers for application in home siding, and while they are more affordable than the genuine stone veneers crafted of slate, granite, limestone, and other stone, some offer an appearance that is obviously artificial.
For Kansas City homes, no other siding offers the advantages of steel siding. Considering that heavy-weight 28 gauge steel is the core of this type of siding and the absence of seams, you can enjoy a home that is ageless! Imagine your home looking as beautiful and well-maintained 20 years from now as it does the day you have your steel siding installed. The color options are amazing, and you will be excited to know that the colors remain true – no painting required. Add in the fact that your home will be more energy efficient and that this type of siding has been awarded the Energy Star Seal of Approval, and what's not to like?
At abc Seamless, we are the Kansas City siding experts you can rely on not only for the highest quality products, but seamless installation performed by professionals who take pride in their work.
Call or email us today, and let us transform your home from average to extraordinary!


A standard that defines requirements for an occupational health and safety management system (OH&S) and includes guidance for use. An OH&S Management System is a framework that supports organisations to improve OH&S performance in preventing injury and ill-health.
An OH&S Management System is intended to bring the health, safety and welfare of employees, customers, visitors and others affected by the organisation's activities under management control. It ensures that persons working under the control of the organisation are aware of their own responsibilities in relation to the health, safety and welfare of themselves and others they may come into contact with.
Evidence of good health and safety management is becoming a pre-qualification requirement for the majority of procurement schemes particularly in the construction industry supply chain. Certification to ISO 45001 is recognised as evidence that an organisation meets these requirements.

DRAM - What are memory module RANKS and how are they used ?
A RANK is a 64bit (or in a case of an ECC module 72bit) data width addressable area of a memory module.
QUAD RANKED (Rank 4 ).
Ranks are for interleaving to make a system run faster. This is where one device or part of a device is being accessed for data whilst another device or part of a device is getting ready to deliver data.
On some server upgrades there will be a maximum number of ranks a server will address or certain ranked modules may need to be fitted to certain sockets. For example, if a server can address 8 ranks. It may take a variation of 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 16GB module to achieve this.
Below are memory modules currently available from integral memory.

Socially Engaged Contemporary Art
Nato Thompson
NThompson Trend Paper.pdf 483.29 KB
Artists who are committed to social justice through their work must navigate a complex contemporary art world characterized by numerous political positions and aesthetic expectations. In this paper, Nato Thompson observes two overarching approaches taken by artists—strategic and tactical—that operate against a political and economical infrastructure. Thompson describes successful examples in both categories, including sustained place-based work; culturally engaged radical pedagogy; engaged museums; engaged academic institutions; and a variety of work that raises questions rather than resolving them. Among the organizations highlighted as doing strategic socially engaged art are the Center for Urban Pedagogy and the Queens Museum; their efforts are infrastructural and sustained in a place over time. Artists highlighted as working through tactical and often guerrilla-style forms of intervention include Critical Art Ensemble and its Free Range Grain project and Paul Ramirez Jonas' Key to the City implemented in partnership with Creative Time.

Fudder, auch Fodder, war ein englisches Maß mit dreifacher Bedeutung.

Einmal ein Stück- und Zählmaß und ein anderes Mal eine englische Masseneinheit. Als Masseneinheit im Geschäft mit Blei wurde Fudder, auch Fodder oder Tun genannt, Die Tun kann als die englische Tonne angesehen werden. Diese Einheit war neben dem Handelsgewicht auch ein Volumen- und Flüssigkeitsmaß.

Genauso wie der deutsche Fuder meint er als Drittes ein Raummaß, in diesem Fall 16 Kubik-Fuß, dann wird aber auch alternativ der Begriff fother verwendet.

Stück- und Zählmaß
 1 Fudder Heu oder Stroh = 36 Bund
 Heu 1 Bund = 56 Pfund, aber wenn es frisch war 60 Pfund (engl.)
 Stroh 1 Bund = 36 Pfund (engl.)

Masseneinheit im Bleihandel
 1 Fudder/Foster = 28 Hundredweight (= 50,802 Kilogramm) = 28 Zentner = 1422,5 Kilogramm
Vor 1835 hatte das Maß noch andere Werte.

Ein Hundred/Zentner kann mit 120 Pfund (1 Pfund (Avoirdupois-Pound) = 453,59 Gramm) gerechnet werden. Das Maß war regional verschieden und es waren beispielsweise in
 London, Chester und Hull 1 Fudder = 20 Hundred/Zentner (Handelsgewicht bei sogenanntem Rollenblei)
 London und Hull 1 Fudder = 19,5 Hundred/Zentner = 2084 engl. Pfund = 993.077 Gramm (sonstiges Blei, Grundlage 112 Pfund)
 Chester und Hull 1 Fudder = 19,5 Hundred/Zentner = 2340 engl. Pfund = 1.061.096 Gramm (Grundlage 120 Pfund)
 Newcastle 1 Fudder = 21 Hundred/Zentner = 2452 engl. Pfund = 1.066.547 Gramm
 Bantry 1 Fudder = 21,5 Hundred/Zentner = 2408 engl. Pfund = 1.091.945 Gramm
 Stockton 1 Fudder = 22 Hundred/Zentner = 2464 engl. Pfund = 1.117.343 Gramm
 Derby 1 Fudder = 22,5 Hundred/Zentner = 2520 engl. Pfund = 1.142.742 Gramm
Für Bleierz wurde das Maß Oredish (Erzschüssel) verwendet.

Still, the show must go on, so this weekend's conference championship games were debated. Winners, Andy Reid, Tom Brady, TV matchups, etc. From there the conversation turned to the national media's obsession with the Sixers failing.
Finally, a quick chat about all things Phillies and how Jigsaw believes both Bryce Harper and Manny Machado will be in a Phillies uniforms come Opening Day.


Color: reddish browns from chestnut to mahogany, some white on chest and feet acceptable. No other colors are allowed.
Living Area: Indoors or outdoors prefers room to move and explore. A larger yard is important.
The Irish Setter is a long, lean looking dog that is very athletic and energetic looking without appearing hyperactive or rambunctious. The overall appearance of the breed is one of grace and agility as well as intelligence and excellent disposition.
The head of the Irish Setter is rather long with a definite stop between the eyes and the muzzle. The muzzle is very straight and elongated in shape but not tapered or heavy looking. The nose is always wide and black, with wide and noticable openings on the nostrils. They eyes are well set and almond shaped, usually a chestnut or dark hazel color and they are soft and gentle in expression. The ears are very soft and triangular shaped but carried folded over and rather low on the side of the head. The skull is very rounded on top, giving a soft appearance to the head when viewed from the front or the side. The hair on the face is short and very soft, but feathering is noticeable on the ears.
The neck is somewhat long and graceful looking, sloping into strong and well developed shoulders. The legs are well-boned and muscled but don\'t appear heavy or over-developed. There is noticeable fringing or furnishings on the front and back legs. The chest is rather narrow yet also deep, ideal for moving though brush or water. The body is longer than the height of the dog at the shoulders. The topline is sloping from the withers to the tail, which is usually carried either down when relaxed or horizontally when the dog is working, happy or moving about. Typically Irish Setters will be very active tail wagers, and their beautiful tail really is a highlight of the breed.
The coat may be somewhat longer or shorter depending on the breeding and line. Overall field lines or working dogs will have a shorter coat and will be more energetic and athletic than the show lines which are heavier and have a the longer showier coat style. The longer coat is very silky and long with natural waves that add to the depth of the body of the dog. The shorter coat has the same fringes and furnishings as well as the beautiful sheen and wavy, distinctive coat. The hair around the neck, underbelly and chest is slightly longer than the rest of the hair on the body.
The coat is medium long, thick and flat and soft to the touch. The reddish brown coat can be wavy or straight but is never curly. The breed has distinctive furnishing on the legs, tail and underbelly that are more pronounced on the longer coated show lines. Field lines may have a much shorter coat but will always have the same coloration.
The Irish Setter was first developed as a color variation on the original Red and White Setter breed in the 1700\'s in Ireland and other areas in the United Kingdom. In the 1800\'s breeders started to select the more solid colored dogs in the Red and White Setter group to develop the all red, solid Irish Setter we know today. Originally the Irish Setter was known as the Irish Red Setter, but this name is no longer used in registries.
The Irish Setter, prior to 1862, was used strictly as a hunting dog. They have a unique tendency to run in a zigzag pattern in front of the hunter, scanning the area for scents. The Irish Setter was trained to be both a scent dog, a pointing dog and a retriever. This all round hunting combination was extremely popular especially with hunters than were hunting on their own or only had the ability to have one dog with them.
In 1862 an Irish Red Setter was born that set the standards for the current breed. It was longer, more angular, faster and had a more distinctive face and coat than the other dogs in the breed at the time. This dog, named Champion Palmerston. Almost all Irish Setters can trace their lineage back to Champion Palmerston and his features are still evident in the breed standards used today. It is interesting to note that the original owner of Champion Palmerston did not like his looks and actually ordered the puppy to be killed, but it was given to another dog breeder that began showing the dog and started winning competitions.
As puppies many Irish Setters are rather impulsive and clownish and love to play and spend time with people. They will almost housetrain themselves given the chance to get outside after meals and activity times. They are a very intelligent breed that does have natural tendencies to be somewhat independent. The Irish Setter is not a dominant breed nor is it dog aggressive unless provoked. They are ideal companion dogs for almost any type or breed of dog and have the energy to play all day if allowed. The Irish Setter will get along very well with other non-canine pets and is usually very fond of cats if properly socialized. Some Irish Setters are more prone to chasing so raising them as puppies with cats will help prevent this from becoming a problem.
Irish Setters are ideal family dogs and love to spend time with children. They are excellent even with very small children and are often found simply walking around young kids out playing in the yard, staying active in what the kids are doing. When properly trained the will respond to even a very young child\'s command which makes them ideal dogs for families. The Irish Setter has unlimited patience with children and is not aggressive in any way towards family children or guests.
The Irish Setter ranks #23 among all breeds for autoimmune thyroiditis prevalence. There is a high risk of obtaining a dog that will develop thyroid disease. For this reason you should make sure you, or your breeder, are testing all dogs before breeding. It may even be a good idea to test dogs that you don't plan on breeding so that any instance of disease can be traced back to breeding pairs and eliminated.
The Irish Setter has the same health problems and genetic concerns that most of the large breeds of dogs have. These include canine hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy and gastric torsion, a bloating problem that can be controlled by feeding several small meals a day and limiting exercise after meals.
In addition some occasionally seen health conditions include growth problems (OCD) in puppies, megaesophagus, epilepsy, hemophilia A and Hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD) which causes lameness in young dogs. Typically checking DNA of breeding pairs will reduce the likeliness of any of these conditions. A reputable breeder will always perform these tests before breeding the dogs, and purchasing a puppy from an established breeder is the best way to avoid these conditions.

SACRAMENTO -- The Buddy Hield situation is reaching a fever pitch.
Hield wants to sign a contract extension with the Kings before the Oct. 21 deadline, but the sides appear miles apart on what that extension might look like.
While the Kings are staying quiet, Hield is using every opportunity to plead his case.
"I'm disappointed, but I don't give a s--t," Hield told NBC Sports California after the Kings' win over Melbourne United on Wednesday night.
Hield has a dollar figure in mind, as does the team. According to an earlier report, there is roughly a $20 million difference between the sides.
"I just know where my value is at, and I'm not going to budge for nobody," Hield said. "I work hard. I come in here every day and I do my job."
When pressed on what it would mean if a deal doesn't get done before the deadline, Hield tried to keep calm. He also made it clear that all of his options are open.
"It's not frustrated, I'm just speaking to my heart," Hield said. "I feel like people get mixed up with being frustrated. I'm just speaking what I believe and what I think. Like I said, there are 30 teams out there. If they don't want to give me what I think I deserve, some team will give it to me. They'll have the ability to match, or they'll have the ability to let me go."
Heild is a restricted free agent after the season, which gives the Kings a powerful position at the bargaining table. If they choose to extend a $6.5 million qualifying offer to the third-year pro, they can match any offer he receives on the open market.
The 26-year-old has the option of playing for the qualifying offer next season and entering the summer of 2021 as an unrestricted free agent, but that would be extremely risky.
Hield has been clear about his desire to stay in Sacramento, but at the same time, he feels like he is part of the core that has helped revitalize the franchise over the last year.
"The goal is to be here," Hield told a larger contingent of media. "I love Sacramento, but if they don't want me here, if they don't feel like I'm part of the core. ... I like respect and loyalty, and I feel like I'm part of the group that's getting the team back to where it needs to be."
At the moment, Hield appears insulted by the number the Kings have offered so far. Whether they can come to some sort of common ground is unknown, but because of the timing of the deadline, this situation has the potential to cause strife behind the scenes just days before the start of the regular season.
"Name one big free agent that came to Sacramento," Hield said in the scrum. "I've been here three years trying to grow the program, grow the organization, and I feel like I could be rewarded close to that. But that's just me. That's my gut feeling."
Hield's is the first of four major extensions the Kings have to work out over the next 24 months, including Bogdan Bogdanovic, De'Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley.
While Hield is sympathetic to the situation the Kings are in, he also can't concern himself with that. He knows what he is worth, and he is pressing the team hard to make that happen.
"It's all about value and where they see me as a player, and of course, if another young player comes up and they give them what they want, it shows how much they value me," Hield told NBC Sports California.
Hield is confident he can push the stress of the situation out of his mind and focus on the task at hand when the regular season begins next week, whether he has a new deal or not after the deadline passes.
"My job is to go out there and ball each and every night," Hield said. "Whatever jersey I have on, I'll represent it to the fullest, that's what I do. I came from nothing. I know what it's like not to have something."
[RELATED: What we learned in Kings' big win in preseason finale]
Hield led the Kings in scoring last season at 20.7 points per game, and he is considered a major part of what the team is building.
Unfortunately for Hield and the Kings, this is the business side of the game, and it can be treacherous. The clock is ticking and getting noisier by the day.
