Weirdo woman in the UK causing untold damage - find her and get her arrested
Not a lot I can do from here but pass on the plea from Rachel to those over there (UK) - this is from JonnyB who says it as I would and saves me typing:
I'm not a great fan of internet campaigns - too much 'look at me! I'm a nice caring person!' But on the basis that in addition to the London traffic we have 200 or so regulars that I have scarily and stalkily identified as logging on from Oxford, this is hopefully a bit relevant.
I also don't like the term 'cyber stalking'. Like 'road rage' it seems a nice cosy phrase to mask what's just a new variation on an old ugly crime. Felicity Lowde ('FJL') has been bullying and manipulating bloggers and internet users for a couple of years now, including readers of and linkers to this site, and a couple of people who I'd now call 'friends'. She's been convicted; she's now on the run and continuing to work from (it's assumed) internet cafes or libraries in London or Oxford.
Rachel North's become a public focus of this - her story's in the Sunday Telegraph today. Being the Sunday Telegraph, they've used a photo of Rachel (who is quite fit) rather than the woman that the public are being asked to help catch (who was once quite fit). It's likely to hit the rest of the mainstream press next week.

Q: Flow type for function that return function From flow's function type docs, function that return primitive type is like this
const a = aFunc = (id: number): number => id + 1.
But, how to create flow type for a function that return a function?
const aFunc = (id: number): <what type?> => {
  return bFunc(a): void => console.log(a)
}

A: You can either create a separate type, or you can do it inline.
Or you can choose to don't specify a return-type at all, because flow knows the return type of bFunc.
const bFunc = (a): void => console.log(a);

Separate type:

type aFuncReturnType = () => void;
const aFunc = (id: number): aFuncReturnType => () => bFunc(id);

Inline:

const aFunc = (id: number): (() => void) => () => bFunc(id);

Madame Pompadour, the mistress of Emperor Louis XV of France, once gave a garden party to her paramour. To charm her lover she created an indoor garden of summer flowers in mid-winter. The flowers were looking so natural that the king bent to pluck his favourite rose flower but lo, it was made of porcelain. The emperor, of course, was vastly pleased and purchased a good number of them by paying 80,000 French livres.
The factory which turned out those porcelain flowers under the fostering care and expert guidance of Madame de Pompadour is Sevres, situated between Paris and Versailles.

Modern green dream home in Linden Hills is sustainable inside and out
By Lynn Underwood , Star Tribune
June 03, 2017 - 8:58 AM
Mel Wieting dreamed of building an ultra-energy-efficient home someday. But he wasn't sure how he would combine green technology with comfortable and inviting living spaces.
He found out after he and his wife, Rosemary Wieting, bought a hillside lot in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis.
First they hired Better Futures Minnesota to deconstruct the tiny ramshackle cottage on the property. The company sells the salvaged materials, including metal and light fixtures.
Then last September, the couple moved into the completed modern home with a solar array covering its flat roof to generate electricity.
The home's shell is constructed with super-tight structural insulated panels (SIPs), and the dwelling sits on a Thermomass concrete foundation.
The couple lounge in a strategically placed outdoor "solar" room hidden from the street. The wraparound raised deck is made of Accoya, a durable thermal-insulated wood guaranteed to last 50 years.
The facade's graphic-look black-and-white fiber-cement siding definitely stands out among the traditional bungalows and Tudors in the neighborhood, yet its size doesn't overwhelm the small city lot. Best of all, the Wieting residence is 67 percent more energy-efficient than a typical new home.
The Wietings consider their project, designed by architect Christian Dean, a successful model of modern sustainable home design and building practices. At the same time, the sun-filled open spaces are multifunctional, visually arresting — and comfortable.
"We've loved living here," said Mel. Still, the couple have put their version of eco-friendly living in Linden Hills on the market for $1.39 million. Mel, an engineer and electronics and computer consultant, wants to apply what he's learned on this house to build more energy-efficient homes like it.
"It's very exciting to pull together so many components of a complex system and make a very livable house," he said.
The Wietings lived in Northern California, where they raised their three children, for 18 years. As empty nesters, they moved to Minnesota in 2008 and bought and sold several downtown condos.
In the new house on the Linden Hills lot, they planned to combine the minimalist glass-walled vibe of a high-rise condo with the indoor-outdoor qualities of California living.
"I wanted to be able to grill outside all-year round, sheltered from the wind," said Mel.
The couple connected with Dean's firm, Christian Dean Architecture, which had previously designed several infill modern homes in the neighborhood.
Dean's blueprint for the Wieting house is a "mash-up of daylighting, solar access and integrated design of energy-efficient and sustainable features," he said, "while fitting in the older neighborhood."
Linden Hills residents realize that the housing stock in their neighborhood is changing, but they object to the scale of some new homes, not their architectural style, according to Dean.
"A modern house is different than the existing character of the neighborhood," he said. "But if it's scaled right and fits well with other homes, people often embrace it."
The Wietings' 4,200-square-foot home encompasses three levels but that's not evident from the street view. To lower the profile, Dean placed the basement behind a tuck-under garage nestled into the hill. The top level, which is "stepped back," is half the size of the main level.
Dean also designed an overall narrower footprint in order to create an area for a side yard and south-facing private sundeck for warmth and light. "The sundeck allows the house to live larger," he said. "but it also gives it a slimmer shape."
Although the home has three levels, the boxy contemporary design creates a lower profile on the city lot.
Chad Holder
All the main-floor living spaces radiate from the sundeck/outdoor room, which even boasts a sleek ribbon gas fireplace.
The sheltering pergola was designed with angled wood slats to draw in sunlight in the winter and provide shade from the hot sun in the summer.
Mel, an amateur chef, made sure the kitchen was equipped with appliances that enabled a variety of cooking techniques, from steam to induction ovens. Rosemary can pass food through a kitchen window to a ledge next to Mel's outdoor grill. The large kitchen island is long enough to have separate ends to serve food and beverages and for meal prep.
On the far wall, a floor-to-ceiling dark-stained pantry stores the coffeemaker and other small appliances, making them accessible but easily hidden when guests are over. The perimeter counters are covered in Richlite, a recycled paper and resin material that develops a warm patina over time.
Rosemary is a registered nurse who has worked with elderly people struggling to climb stairs in their home. So she requested that Dean design the master suite with a step-in oversized tiled shower, and a handy laundry room, all on the main floor.
To connect the living spaces, the floors are finished with durable, low-maintenance Douglas fir ply made from salvaged lumber, which was bleached and cut with the end grain exposed.
Dean had used the unique decorative flooring in other projects and showed samples to the couple.
"Then we saw it in the lobby of a modern concert hall in Copenhagen and thought it was really cool," said Mel. "We liked the look and its sustainability."
The couple also planted an eco-friendly landscape with low-mow fescue and prairie grasses, which require less water. Two drywells capture and filter water flowing from the roof to reduce rainwater runoff.
For his next home-building project, Mel plans to tweak some of the materials and amenities.
He gained valuable insight by going through the entire process, from breaking ground to choosing tiles. But he learned what homeowners really want by listening to people's comments during the Homes by Architects tour last fall.
One complaint was that the master bedroom wasn't big enough. And while many visitors appreciated the cutting-edge products, they also want tried-and-true ones in their home.
"They like seeing the recycled materials used in countertops," he said. "But they still love granite."
Ben Ganje of Lakes Sotheby's International Realty has the listing, 952-230-3163.
What: New energy-efficient modern home is sized to fit in an older Linden Hills neighborhood.
Size: 4,200 square feet includes a basement whose bedroom, bathroom and full kitchen could be used as an in-law apartment.
Design team: Architect Christian Dean and lead designer Katy Dale, Christian Dean Architecture, deanarch.com, 612-382-2883.
Builder: Metro Construction and Synergy Builders, Mpls.

Hotel Mumbai (2019) Review!!
February 27, 2019 · by Mirza Baig	· in Drama, History, Movie Review, Thriller.	·
Synopsis – The true story of the Taj Hotel terrorist attack in Mumbai. Hotel staff risk their lives to keep everyone safe as people make unthinkable sacrifices to protect themselves and their families.
My Take – For Indians all over the world, the date 26/11 has been marked with blood in recent history. As on the night of Nov. 26, 2009, a group of 10 young members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, an Islamic terrorist organization based in Pakistan, carried out a series of 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks that lasted four days across Mumbai, leaving 164 people dead and hundreds more injured.
While the rest of the world considered it a secondary news, for Indians, even a decade later, the ripple effect of the tragedy can still be felt. Premiering at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, and based on the 2009 documentary 'Surviving Mumbai' by Victoria Midwinter Pitt, here, Australian film director Anthony Maras, takes us through a fictionalized yet terrifying and powerful recreation of the events that took place at the opulent Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. While fictionalizing events might tend to end up mixing it up a little bit for the sake of amusement, this film, it should go without saying, is harrowing to the extreme.
Almost unbearable, in fact. While writer/director Anthony Maras largely sticks to the dramatization playbook, he does so in an effective, affecting and empathetic fashion. Even though, it would be impossible to do justice to the true stories of the hundreds of people involved, this film succeeds as a best case scenario, by being a tightly constructed piece of film-making that's truly human and away from tired Hollywood pitfalls. For most, that will be enough to be entertained and horrified by this thriller at the same time.
The film begins right off by showing the 10 terrorist arriving on their inflatable speedboat on the city shores, and splitting off for their respective destinations and begin their onslaught in a few minutes starting with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. From there the story follows Arjun (Dev Patel), a low-ranking Sikh employee of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, who is clearly having a rough day; his sick baby made him late to work, and he's lost a shoe on the way. While he is almost sent home for his misconduct by Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher), the head chef, who prides on how the five-star luxury resort embodies excellence, but considering Arjun's financial condition, he lets him stay.
However, his luck doesn't extend to a high-tipping post attending to Vasili (Jason Isaacs), a sleazy Russian businessman, who hosts wild parties and ends up giving out huge tips. Meanwhile, Zahra (Nazanin Boniadi), a member of a affluent and rich family also checks into one of the hotel's most opulent suites with David (Armie Hammer), her American husband, their newborn baby and Sally (Tilda Cobham-Hervey), their Australian nanny, all hoping to spend a quite holiday together. However, at the Leopold Cafe, Aussie backpackers Eddie (Angus McLaren) and Bree (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) become the surviving witnesses to an early gun fire as the attacks escalate across the city, and unknown to them, some of the gunners have followed them and managed to enter the Taj hotel lobby.
The film charts the occurrences of the evening—from guests unassumingly enjoying their dinner, to the first attacks, then the very hospitable hotel staff moving the guests from one safe space to another, to the final arrival of the special forces unit which managed to kill all the terrorists present and bring an end to the firing. This is an ensemble piece where director Anthony Maras weaves various perspectives into a tightly constructed narrative. Most importantly, the drama is white-knuckle intense and unrelenting.
For all its subplots, director Maras keeps a tight leash on the film's narrative strands as we watch characters move in and out of each other's stories. The use of real news footage on background televisions is a clever way of dealing with exposition, allowing the plot to move briskly along. I'm astounded that this is director Anthony Maras' first feature-length film. He's a master of building tension through a combination of building up characters that we care about and putting them in horrific jeopardy. The most affecting aspect of the film is how it handles and stages said attacks.
Here, director Maras shoots them in a conventional manner, but his depiction is so brutal it is unnerving. In fact, as the picture goes on it simply becomes too brutal. There's a line for an audience between conveying the true horror of what occurred and being excessive and director Maras barely avoids the latter. There are very few times when the film lets the killing occur off camera (which can be harrowing in and of itself) and it simply becomes numbing. You cannot argue, however, that both he and his editor, Peter McNulty, show deft skill in cinematically splicing it all together.
Another thing I liked a lot about the film is that it doesn't go out of its way to artificially construct heroes in the way that an American production might have been tempted to do. As a viewer, you feel as though you are a fly on the wall as everything is happening. You can see the pain and fear in the eyes of all these innocent people who are being held prisoners inside this hotel. You want them to survive, but unfortunately, not all of them do.
People attempt heroic actions and are just gunned down in cold blood. The police are mostly ineffective. In the face of horror like this, your indomitable spirit isn't going to save you. There are numerous scenes where a person is shot in the head with the camera remaining on the victim as he or she is shot. There are at least 30 to 40 people killed on-screen by these men throughout the film. In a typical Hollywood film, we know our heroes are going to survive. Not so here, and the result is more akin to a horror film than any traditional drama.
I want to applaud the screenwriters for not being afraid to write likable characters that end up being killed because it is the harsh reality of what occurs during an attack like this one. Seeing the attacks on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel play out does not make for a pleasurable film-going experience but one that is very hard to watch and impossible to forget. However, what's most disturbing about the film is the strange depiction of the terrorists themselves.
Here, director Maras makes an unusual decision in giving much of the narrative space to the four gunmen, seemingly in an attempt to humanize the terrorists. One, in particular, is shown speaking to his father on the phone and holding back tears when he's told the money the terrorist organization promised his family hasn't arrived. It's a strange juxtaposition to convey that some of these killers deserve sympathy because they carried off these attacks for financial means.
There is clearly no justification for their actions, but it's such a bizarre and frustrating choice. Especially considering this particular character's actions later on. In one of the film's rare humorous moments, one of the men takes a bite of a pizza until he's told by his brother-in-arms that it's pork. Spluttering wildly, he's laughed at saying they're just vegetables. It's funny until they turn and shoot a woman in the head. It's in these moments of jarring tonal shifts where the film's otherwise tight pacing and structure begins to unwind.
Thankfully this tone is saved by the ensemble cast who are excellent. Dev Patel, who gets the meatiest part, manages to deliver a subdued yet a particularly moving performance and receives ample support from Armie Hammer and Anupam Kher who bring in yet another compelling and dominating turn to their roles. Jason Isaacs does fine work too, but I have to admit that I had a hard time accepting him as a Russian. It may be that I'm too familiar with his work and I could never quite suspend disbelief. I wish they had cast an actual Russian in the role, but on the other hand, he being in the film is one of the things that made me want to see it.
Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Angus McLaren, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo are compelling too. However, its Nazanin Boniadi's spectacular performance that holds everything together. There is this scene where Imran, one of the gunmen, played by a very effective Amandeep Singh, is ordered to kill everyone in the room. After seeing several people being shot, Zahra begins to pray which causes Imran to freak out and question his actions.
This is a compelling moment because it is the first time that you see one of the men ask what they are doing and wonder if they should kill someone who believes in the same god that he does. This was easily one of the most powerful scenes in the entire film. On the whole, 'Hotel Mumbai' is an excellent edge-of-the-seat thriller that will shake you to the core.

Day 1 – Is Cheaper Gas Really Worth It? Why No, it is Not.
We are going on our first real trip (not a BBQ competition) in our fifth wheel. Fourteen days traveling from Sacramento up the coast through Northern California and Oregon over to Portland and then back home down I-5. Being from Northern California, I do not refer to it as "The 5". Packing for an RV trip is definitely different than packing for a month in New Zealand. For the NZ trip, I was very particular about what I brought. Everything needed to serve multiple purposes. For this trip, I haphazardly threw things into the RV. Six pairs of shoes? Why not? Three jackets: rain, warm and cute.
Today is our longest day of driving: 234 miles from Sacramento to Garberville, CA. We started out this morning full of excitement, only to hit traffic within 20 miles of home. It turns out that when people are driving along the freeway and they see a sign for "Guinness Book of Records World's Largest Corn Maze" they must slow and gawk. Google saved us a few minutes by detouring us through the lovely farmland and orchards near Dixon.
We stopped for lunch in Healdsburg for a much-deserved margarita and Mexican food. Towing an RV is stressful when cars don't merge like a zip. Agave Mexican Restaurant and Tequila Bar was a great find. The Chili Ancho margaritas had a nice zing and they were not skimpy with the tequila. They also make their own margarita mix so it was not overly syrupy or sweet. I had Mom's Special chicken mole enchiladas with rice and black beans. Nice hint of cinnamon in the in dark, chocolate brown mole. Shawn had a Mexican pizza al Pastor. It was a giant charred tortilla slathered in black beans, pork, cabbage, avocado, and thinly sliced radish. It was beautiful.
Continuing on our journey, we decided we should find some diesel prior to arriving at our campground. I installed the GasBuddy app and searched for the station with the cheapest diesel. $2.75 seemed like a bargain; however, Google could not find the station. We looked for the next station and Google said, sure that's only a few miles away. You would think we would have learned from our New Zealand adventure…never turn down an unpaved road. A quarter mile down the gravel road, Google indicated we should drive down someone's private drive to get to the main road. We thought better of that and Shawn deftly backed up a quarter mile down the gravel road (the grape vines were lovely). Three-point turns are not a thing when pulling a fifth wheel. We made a pact then and there…no driving down unpaved roads no matter what Google says!
Highway 101 past Willits is beautiful with tall redwood trees. We finally arrived at our first destination: Benbow KOA in Garberville. A nice little campground off 101. We will stay here one night before heading up to Patrick's Point in Trinidad, CA tomorrow.

Q: AudioSegment.from_file overwritten for some reason? I use in my program the function AudioSegment.from_file: sound = AudioSegment.from_file(audio_path, format="m4a")
I also implement a file the I created: import GUI_log
In this file I have the next class:
class TextHandler(logging.Handler):
    """This class allows you to log to a Tkinter scroll_text or Scrolledscroll_text widget"""
    def __init__(self, scroll_text):
        # run the regular Handler __init__
        logging.Handler.__init__(self)

        # Store a reference to the scroll_text it will log to
        self.scroll_text = scroll_text

    def emit(self, record):
        msg = self.format(record)
        tag = ""
        if record.levelno == ACTION:
            tag = "ACTION"
        def append():
            self.scroll_text.configure(state='normal')
            self.scroll_text.insert(Tkinter.END, msg + '\n', tag)
            self.scroll_text.configure(state='disabled')
            # Autoscroll to the bottom
            self.scroll_text.yview(Tkinter.END)
        # This is necessary because we can't modify the scroll_text from other threads
        self.scroll_text.after(0, append)

For some reason when I execute the first line I mentioned (The one with the from_file), The emit function in the TextHandler class gets executed.
Anyone knows what is the reason for it and how to fix it?
EDIT: I found out I overwrite somewhere in this code:
# Create Tkinter object and ScrolledText
    root =Tkinter.Tk()
    st = ScrolledText.ScrolledText(root, state='disabled')
    st.configure(font='TkFixedFont')
    st.pack()
    st.tag_config("ACTION", foreground="dark green")

    # Create text handler
    text_handler = TextHandler(st)
    formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s    IP: %(IP)-15s PORT: %(PORT)-5s    MESSAGE: %(message)s', datefmt='%Y-%m-%d,%H:%M:%S') #.%(msecs)03d
    text_handler.setFormatter(formatter)

    # Add action level
    logging.addLevelName(ACTION, "ACTION")
    def action(self, message, *args, **kws):
        self._log(ACTION, message, args, **kws)
    logging.Logger.action = action

    # Create logger
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.addHandler(text_handler)
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    return (root, logger)

A: After some scrolling in the internet I found out the pydub uses logging and I probably overwrite the logger. To fix it I changed this line: logger = logging.getLogger() to logger = logging.getLogger("SOMENAME")

Q: Clear ArrayList container I would like to ask you about a way to clean container after mouse click.
Jbutton clearButton = new Jbutton("CLear");
ArrayList<Figure> picture = new ArrayList<>();

How to clean "picure" container after mouse click? I found that class ArrayList has got clear() method to remove all the elements but how to use it in a good way?
Thank you in advance.

A: The good way: picture.clear();
Et voila.
For the ActionListener:
final Jbutton clearButton = new Jbutton("CLear");
final ArrayList<Figure> picture = new ArrayList<>();
clearButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        picture.clear();
    }
});

A: You can try picture.clear(); since there is no other way to call it.

A: Example of using clear :
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class ArrayListDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

  // create an empty array list with an initial capacity
  ArrayList<Integer> arrlist = new ArrayList<Integer>(5);

  // use add() method to add elements in the list
  arrlist.add(20);
  arrlist.add(30);
  arrlist.add(10);
  arrlist.add(50);

  // let us print all the elements available in list
  for (Integer number : arrlist) {
    System.out.println("Number = " + number);
  }

  // finding size of this list
  int retval = arrlist.size();
  System.out.println("List consists of "+ retval +" elements");

  System.out.println("Performing clear operation !!");
  arrlist.clear();
  retval = arrlist.size();
  System.out.println("Now, list consists of "+ retval +" elements");
   }
}

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html#clear()

A: Assuming this code is defined in a class say MyClass, your class can implement ActionListener interface.
public class MyClass implements ActionListener {

as a part of this, you will have to add a definition for the method actionPerformed and then add an addActionListener to your button clearButton
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if(e.getSource() == clearButton) {
        picture.clear();
    }
}

The above method can similarly handle different events or button clicks as well.

Suicide net for the Golden Gate Bridge
A net made of stainless steel wire rope would catch someone about 20 feet below the bridge.
The Bridge board voted Friday 14-1 in favor of the net alternative, rejecting four other kinds of barriers and a sixth option of doing nothing.
"It was an emotional day for all of us," Bridge board President John Moylan said
Moylan wanted a bridge barrier for all of the 21 years he's been on the board. Moylan chose the net over other barrier options because it has the least impact on bridge operations and appearance. It will make the bridge more stable in high winds and is the least expensive option to maintain.
The net will cost between $40 million and $50 million to build and $78,000 a year to maintain.
The board expects a combination of state, federal and private funding to pay for the net, but has no one really has any idea of how or when.
It will not be paid for with tolls, Moylan said.
"We can't expect the commuters to pay for everything around here," he said.
Last year there were 39 suicides from the bridge; there have been 19 so far this year.
Dr. Mel Blaustein is the medical director of psychiatry at St. Francis Medical Center and has long advocated for a bridge barrier. He said studies show the net will save lives because people will not go somewhere else after failing at the Golden Gate Bridge,
"It's an iconic, romantic and magical site that cannot be replaced with other methods of suicide," Blaustein said.
But cardiac surgeon Dr. Clark Hinderleider thinks spending the time and money on a barrier is a tragedy.
"If this time, money and energy had been spent on these suicidal patients prior to their suicide, they'd probably still be alive today," Hinderleider said.
Right now, for every one person who jumps off the bridge, two are stopped on their way, according to bridge officials.

For generations, it went from a someone's daughter, sister, wife to inexplicable paths that women before my time so fearlessly fought for is a gift and a blessing I could never possibly return but simply receive and use it to my best advantage. To occupy the areas that they were locked out of to the best of my abilities, to adopt the same determination, grit, and perseverance and not just allow closed doors to stop me, but to open them because that's how doors work.
The Suffrage Movement means the small exteriors like just simply being the way I am, a woman, do not define who I am, but what I will bring to the world. It does not mean to take over the world, but to take over the places open to others, which are open to me.
I have gained a freedom, and it does not cage me into a box, it sets me free, for this to happen before I even knew I was in a cage it is simply unfathomable, and I can only be grateful, and be inspired. In my heart, giving up is no longer an option, it is totally out of the equation.

[More about Our Philosophy:
THE ONCOPLASTIC PHILOSOPHY
of breast cancer surgery
Oncoplastic reconstruction is a term of art within the surgical profession…let's simplify what this means. The surgical treatment of breast cancer over the past century has evolved from extensive disfiguring procedures to less invasive and cosmetically acceptable ones. The development of an oncoplastic approach to patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer means giving equal consideration to the cosmetic [the physical restoration of the breast] outcomes, as well as maximizing oncologic [cancer removing] safety.
Dr. Jay Harness has led the way in formulating the oncoplastic philosophy of breast cancer surgery over the past ten years.
He has performed over 110 nipple-sparing mastectomies, and is one the nation's most experienced surgeons with this breast cancer surgical treatment procedure.
This philosophy creates a vastly improved cosmetic outcome in most cases of breast cancer surgery, and in how the patient looks and feels afterward.
For a woman faced with the fear of disfigurement due to a breast cancer diagnosis, the oncoplastic approach offers not only breast reconstruction, but also emotional reconstruction, as it becomes difficult afterward for others to see evidence of a breast cancer surgery.
Given its uniqueness, few surgeons have as yet embraced this approach to breast cancer surgery, and even fewer are expert at it.
The fear of disfigurement
Many women with a breast cancer diagnosis must face their deepest fear…that of disfigurement.
They want to feel whole, and do not want to lose a part of their femininity.
Femininity may be preserved, by seeking out a breast cancer surgeon who places the oncoplastic philosophy at the center of their approach to breast cancer treatment in the operating room.
The result is also an emotional reconstruction for those initially fearful of losing all or a portion of their breast due to cancer.
During lumpectomy surgery, we move healthy tissue inside the breast in such a way that the hole left from the removal of the cancer is filled in so the breast maintains its normal or an improved shape.
During mastectomy surgery, we return the patient to feeling whole by reconstructing the breast with tissue from other parts of the body or a tissue expander, which is later replaced with a permanent implant.
We also use pioneering advances such as nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction.

Is The Mortgage Market Beginning To Finally Recover?
It's been over five years since the run on Northern Rock ushered in the credit crunch. Since then, access to large mortgages and finance has been tough. Banks have tightened lending criteria, the choice of mortgage deals has shrunk and some mortgage lenders have disappeared completely.
Now, though, we are witnessing many mortgage market changes. As The Independent reports, 'evidence does finally seem to be gathering that the credit taps are being slowly turned on.' Here, we look at the facts which show that the high value mortgage market is, at last, set to improve.
Over recent years, retail banks have been increasingly reluctant to lend to anyone other than clients with a large deposit and an impeccable credit history. This means that brokers have been forced to look elsewhere for institutions with an appetite to lend.
As well as private banks, mutual lenders have also seen their market share rise. Data from the Building Societies Association (BSA) shows that in the first seven months of 2012 lending by mutuals increased by 39 per cent compared to the same period last year. And, the number of mortgages at loan to value (LTV) ratios of 85 per cent or above rose by 27 per cent in the same period.
Paul Broadhead, head of mortgage policy at the BSA, said: "I am encouraged by some of the signs we are now seeing on mortgage availability. Building societies and other mutuals have been consistently lending more each month this year.
The number of residential mortgages available has also risen sharply over the last two years. According to data analyst Moneyfacts, there are 3013 residential mortgage deals available today, up from 2471 two years ago.
Mr Robinson, the London mortgage advisor, added: "It's clear from the mortgage market changes that lenders are keener to agree deals than they were two years ago. It's still far from east to get a large mortgage, but at least the market is more stable and lenders are at least interested in doing business.
"And, as Paul Broadhead at the BSA correctly identifies, one of the main concerns is that many people keen to buy property are not proceeding because they wrongly think they won't get a mortgage. I'd urge anyone looking to buy a new home to speak to a mortgage broker – particularly if your personal circumstances are unusual or complex – for advice. You may be surprised at the range of large mortgage options available to you.


Pope Francis has criticized the naming of the U.S. military's biggest nonnuclear explosive as "the Mother of All Bombs," saying motherhood should not be associated with a deadly weapon.
Speaking to students at the Vatican on May 6, the Pope said he was "ashamed" when he heard the name.
"A mother gives life and this one gives death, and we call this device a mother. What is happening?" Francis asked.
The U.S. Air Force dropped such a bomb, officially called the GBU-43 bomb, on militants from the extremist group Islamic State (IS) in eastern Afghanistan last month.
The Pope's criticism comes ahead of his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on May 24.


CULIACAN, Mexico: News of the conviction of Mexico's legendary crime boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman traveled quickly on Tuesday (Feb 12) to his rugged home state, where people said they felt pain for a man some described as a fallen folk hero and community benefactor.
"Trafficking drugs will continue," said Gildardo Velazquez in Cuiliacan, the state's humid capital. "Nobody can stop it. Even now that they'll give him the life sentence they think he deserves, it's not going to change anything here."
Some others expressed sadness at the news of Guzman's conviction in a far-away New York federal courtroom.
"The truth is this hurts," said a gray-haired man wearing a baseball cap, who described himself as a native of Badiraguato, Guzaman's hometown, but declined to provide his name.
"We know that he's helped a lot of people, building roads, schools, churches. People here will suffer now due to lack of support."
Guzman, whose nickname means "Shorty" in Spanish, will not be formally sentenced until Jun 25, though prosecutors said they expect him to receive a life sentence without the chance of parole.
Others expressed fear that lawlessness across Mexico may grow as former rivals fight over the spoils in the aftermath of Guzman's conviction on all 10 counts brought by US prosecutors.
"I think it might be counterproductive," said Carlos, a young man wearing headphones who declined to give his surname.
"There's more people that want everything that El Chapo controlled."

A mother who allegedly started a fire at the home of her future son-in-law after she failed to get betrothal gifts was charged with arson yesterday by Putuo District prosecutors.
On December 31 last year, Huang went to her daughter's boyfriend Li's residence and asked for 50,000 yuan (US$7,317) as a betrothal gift, but his parents said they could not afford that much.
When Li and his parents went to their workshop to attend to business and Huang was left alone, she was so angry at the refusal that she set fire to the quilt in Li's room, prosecutors allege.

An outdoor adventure camp benefits cancer survivors of all ages.
WHEN NANCY FERRO'S oldest son, Michael, was diagnosed with stage I testicular cancer at age 23 in 2007, she learned firsthand that cancer can take an emotional as well as a physical toll. In the aftermath of his treatment, Michael, now 32, attended an outdoor adventure camp for young adults with cancer.
"It was a turning-point experience," Ferro remembers. "Camp, in a nutshell, instilled in him that it was OK to live." Ferro, who has a background in fundraising, event planning and volunteer coordination, wanted to give adult cancer survivors of all ages the same opportunity that Michael had to embrace life in the outdoors and be with a community of fellow survivors. She founded Epic Experience in 2012 to achieve that goal.
The nonprofit, based in Arvada, Colorado, offers free weeklong adventure camps for adults of any age who have been diagnosed with cancer, including those in treatment. Each day, campers embark on outdoor activities that vary with the season—including whitewater kayaking and horseback riding in the summer or snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. At the end of each day, participants dine together and bond over campfire marshmallows.
Adventure therapy programs like Epic Experience use outdoor activities to help cancer survivors and patients cope with the psychological and social effects of cancer. Studies suggest that challenging people with activities in nature can improve their psychological states and perceptions of themselves.
Ferro remembers seeing many adventure opportunities for young adults, but few were open to adults of all ages. Over its nearly five years in existence, Epic Experience has hosted more than 250 campers ranging in age from 18 to 79. The experience of cancer breaks down age barriers and draws everybody together, she explains.

Fifty Years of Writing for Nature
By Robert Michael Pyle
Over the past fifty years, Robert Michael Pyle has published hundreds of articles, essay, reviews, and other non-fiction prose pieces, all driven by a desire to celebrate and conserve the fruits of the earth. This book collects the most durable of these writings for the first time, giving a half-century spectrum view of both his nature and conservation writing and his development as a writer.
RELATED TOPICS: Nature
Biologist and writer Robert Michael Pyle is the author of over twenty books, including Wintergreen, Sky Time in Gray's River, two books of poetry, and standard works on butterflies. He lives in rural southwest Washington.


Continuity of Operations (COOP) enables an organization's essential functions to continue with minimal interruption during a wide range of continuity events: from localized acts of nature and technological incidents to widespread emergencies or disasters. Any situation that makes it impossible for employees to work from their primary operating facility creates a continuity event. During such events, Continuity of Government (COG) maintains a continuous functioning of government through temporary transfer of decision-making authority or relocating the seat of government.
The Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) is the overall emergency and disaster plan for Pierce County. This plan reflects an analysis of the natural and technological hazards to which our communities are vulnerable. The CEMP describes the purpose, organization, responsibilities, and capabilities of the agencies involved in preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters that impact Pierce County.
The purpose of the Emergency Operations Center Plan is to provide guidance and procedures for the activation and operation of the Pierce County Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The procedures established in this plan are considered supporting documents to the Pierce County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). This plan focuses on the response phase of emergency management and the transition to recovery. It is applicable to county EOC operations for hazards and contingencies outlined in the CEMP and the most recent Pierce County Hazard Identification & Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA).
In order to prepare and plan for emergencies which might strike the county, it is necessary to understand hazards that potentially could impact it, what their history of activity is in Pierce County and how vulnerable the citizens of the county are to those hazards. The HIRA serves as a basis for the development of plans, public education programs, responder training and exercises. The Pierce County HIRA is not a detailed study of the hazards and their impacts, but rather it describes those hazards felt to be the greatest potential threat to people, the environment, personal and public property and the economy.
The Region 5 Strategic Plan provides the framework through which we will strengthen our ability to defend against, deter, dissuade, mitigate, and ultimately respond to and recover from terrorist attacks and natural disasters within the region.
This Mount Rainier Volcanic Hazards Response Plan provides an overview of the geological science associated with Mount Rainier, the current status of the river valleys, and the potential impact to the valleys. It identifies warning and public information methods, and outlines actions to ensure getting valley residents to safe ground in a worst-case volcanic scenario. The plan also addresses recovery priorities and mitigation measures to lessen the impact of a re-awakening of this majestic volcano.
Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. This is achieved through risk analysis, which results in information that provides a foundation for mitigation activities that reduce risk, and flood insurance that protects financial investment. The Pierce County Hazard Mitigation Plan takes all of this into account as we develop mitigation measures to lessen the impact of local disasters.
The Region 5 Hazard Mitigation Base Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan encompassing 77 jurisdictions to include cities and towns, fire districts, school districts and universities, hospitals, utilities and special-purpose districts such as the American Red Cross and the Port of Tacoma.

Limbic Entertainment ist ein deutscher Entwickler von Videospielen mit Sitz im hessischen Langen.

Geschichte
Limbic Entertainment wurde im Jahr 2002 von Stephan Winter, Eike Radunz und Alexander Frey gegründet. Zuvor waren sie beim deutschen Entwickler Sunflowers angestellt. 2003 veröffentlichte Limbic Entertainment die Simulation Mein Pferdehof, die sowohl für den PC als auch Game Boy Advance erschien. Nach Unternehmensangaben verkaufte sich das Spiel insgesamt über 800.000 Mal.

Nachdem sich das Entwicklungsstudio einige Jahre auf Spiele für Kinder konzentrierte, entwickelt es heute vor allem Strategiespiele. Für Ubisoft führte das Studio die Strategiereihe Heroes of Might & Magic mit zwei Teilen fort und entwickelte daneben den zehnten Rollenspieltitel der dazugehörigen Hauptreihe Might & Magic.

Am 16. Juni 2017 wurde bekannt, dass Limbic Entertainment den sechsten Ableger der Spielereihe Tropico für den deutschen Publisher Kalypso Media entwickelt. Das Spiel wurde im März 2019 veröffentlicht. Gleichzeitig begann das Studio mit der Entwicklung des Sandbox Survival-Spiels Memories of Mars für 505 Games, welches zuerst im Juni 2018 über das Steam Early-Access-Programm startete, und schließlich eine Veröffentlichung im März 2020 erhielt.

Im Februar 2020 erwarb der japanische Publisher Bandai Namco eine Minderheitsbeteiligung an Limbic. Der Entwickler erhielt im Gegenzug den Auftrag über die Entwicklung zweier Projekte für den Publisher. Im Zuge seiner Content-Strategie für den europäischen Markt erwarb der Publisher eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung im Oktober 2022.

RBC launches transfers through Siri
Why becoming the first major bank to allow voice-controlled e-transfers may be more of a brand play than answering consumer demand.
You might already be using Siri as the quickest way to Google something or check the weather, but now RBC will allow customers to send cash through the voice-controlled personal assistant.
In the latest update to the bank's iOS mobile app, a voice command as simple as "Hey Siri, send $20 to Pat" is all that is needed to initiate an Interac e-transfer. The app will then confirm the name with the customer's existing payee list, and ask for a fingerprint scan to confirm the transaction.
While this kind of functionality is part of a greater shift towards more voice-controlled tech like Amazon's Alexa, Nick Barbuto, managing director of OMD's Ignition division, says this particular kind of use might be for the RBC brand, as opposed to serving a persistent consumer need.
"I think it's evolutionary, but not revolutionary," he says. "I don't see it fitting into a lot of day-to-day use cases. It fits into fringe scenarios, like you're in the car and you forgot to send someone a payment.
"I question the utilitarian value of being able to pay someone like this over doing it manually, but I do think it resonates at a brand level," Barbuto says. "Being able to say 'look at what my bank can do' is where this plays best."
That kind of approach to tech deployment from a bank isn't totally unheard of. Tangerine uses fingerprint scanners, voice recognition and retinal scans to unlock its apps. While biometrics may not be any more secure than a strong password, it's part of a user experience that reinforces how Tangerine is doing the innovative things you'd expect from a modern bank (and that it's a brand you can trust) every time its app is used.
While RBC is the first bank to offer voice-command money transfers in Canada, PayPal launched its own Siri-powered transfers in the fall. In the U.S., Capital One has also launched a wide range of voice command functions through Alexa, like checking account balances or doing "quick actions" like paying the balance of a credit card.
For Barbuto, that kind of functionality is a better indication of the ways banks can utilize voice commands in a way that is closer to why voice controlled devices are more popular in home settings.
"A lot of internet connected devices all ladder up to the idea that you can be at home and not having to stop what you're doing to start a playlist or a movie or call an Uber," he says. "The Capital One app is interesting because it is a little bit closer to a more common daily scenario than sending payments. To some extent, sending payments through Siri feels like table stakes. Voice input does seem germane to an app, so why wouldn't you add it, but there are better use scenarios that haven't been made as of yet."
