Q: Query returning (rs.next() == false). Table populated, database connected I'm trying to write a login() and connection() function for a library management system connected to MYSQL. When I try to retrieve "personnummer" and "password" from the database it returns rs.Next() == false. The table is populated and the query is returning "database connected". Can anyone help me figure out what I've done wrong?  Thanks

A: insecure code
This code is a security leak; I could, for example, enter this for a password: whatever'; DROP TABLE library.users; -- - and upon entering that in the password box on your login form, your database table would go up in smoke. The solution is to use PreparedStatement; SQL queries must always be a single long string constant, you can NEVER mix user input into it. You already have PreparedStatement in there - just replace all those strings with question marks:
PreparedStatement loginQuery = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM library.users WHERE personnummer = ? AND password = ?", ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
loginQuery.setString(1, personnummer);
loginQuery.setString(2, password);

insecure code - reprise
You should use bcrypt, scrypt, pbkdf2, or some other password hash algorithm; this is insecure to your users (your laptop with a clone of the db ends up on the street, and now all your user's passwords are on the street. Users tend to reuse passwords. In general industry as a whole, and various laws such as the GDPR in particular, lay the blame squarely on your feet. Including with hefty fines. Don't break with industry standards - use a password hasher.
your actual bug
you are concatening the 'password' variable into a string. This calls toString on the variable. The variable is a char array, which doesn't toString the way you think it does.  Your query ends up as: SELECT * FROM whatever WHERE password = '[C@1234567' - try it. Print that string.
Combining the fixes
ps.setString(2, new String(password)).

MembersA Secret City Under the Barracks
By Israel Today Staff | November 4, 2017
Photo: Israel Civil Authority
Most Israelis can still vividly recall the "Bahad 4" barracks, which during the 1970s was the Israeli army's largest recruiting and training base. However, up until now no one was aware that this particular site has a much longer history.
Several weeks ago, staff members from the Archaeological Department of the Civil Administration that governs the West Bank arrived at the site where the barracks used to be in the small town of Beit El in Samaria. The barracks had already been demolished in 1995. When they started digging directly beneath the square that had formerly been the parade ground, archaeologists were astonished: they came across an ancient Jewish settlement that had been home to dozens of inhabitants during the First Temple period. It had also been populated during the time of Persian rule in the Land, and had later been expanded during...

How can I boost my internet speeds?
Resetting your router and optimizing your router settings can give you an instant speed boost. Consider Wi-Fi extenders if your signal is weaker in certain areas of your home. Also, be sure to check your Wi-Fi network to see if there are any unknown devices or users connected that could be slowing your network.
How much speed do I need for streaming?
Each video streaming service has varying recommended speeds, but speeds up to 10 Mbps will often handle streaming on one device. For HD and 4K streaming, consider faster speeds of at least 25 Mbps to reduce buffering and maintain optimal picture quality.
What are my internet options?
Available providers vary by address, but your location is likely serviceable for cable and DSL internet. Fiber internet may also be an internet option, but this technology is typically found in larger cities. Those living in rural areas not serviceable for cable, DSL or fiber internet may find satellite or fixed wireless internet to be their only options.

Preschool children are often fascinated by animals and their habitats. Topping the list as many children's favorite animal is the frog. Fortunately for preschool teachers, there is no shortage of information or activities that focus on this humble amphibian. Creating preschool plans for amphibians such as frogs, salamanders and newts will be easy for you and fun and engaging for your preschool class.
It is always important when beginning any new thematic unit to attempt to learn what your class already knows about a subject. Open a discussion on amphibians with your class and learn where to start your lesson planning. Be sure to discuss the word amphibian with your children, explaining that an amphibian is an animal that lives part of its life in the water and part of its life on the land.
Frogs are obviously the most popular amphibian for preschoolers to study, but newts and salamanders are also appropriate amphibians for preschoolers to learn more about.
Always begin with the basics when creating preschool plans for amphibians. Build on children's prior knowledge, combining a mixture of engaging activities they have participated in before with challenging new projects and activities.
Create fingerprint frogs on coffee filter lilypads. Use green paint or a stamp pad to paint children's fingertips green. Children will pretend their fingers are frogs and jump across the lilypads with their green fingers. Use green and black markers to add details to the fingerprint frogs.
Study some pictures of salamanders in science books. Notice the wide range of bright colors and patterns a salamander skin can have. Draw several salamander outlines on white construction paper. Ask children to use scissors to cut out the salamander shapes and use craft materials such as colored beads, tissue paper or puffy paint to decorate the salamanders.
Play a patterning game using colored frogs. Create patterns for children to finish or allow them to create their own patterns using the small toys.
Using the same colored frogs, play a counting game. Create lilypads using coffee filters and label each with a number, one through ten. Have children place the correct number of frogs on each lilypad. For a more challenging activity, use a die and roll a number. Use unmarked lilypads and place the correct number of frogs on each.
Play a "move like me" game. Name an amphibian and have children move from one area of the room to the other, acting as that animal. For a more challenging activity, play a freeze game. Play quiet music while children hop like frogs or slither like salamanders from one end of the room to the other. When the music stops, children must freeze until the music starts again.
Play a "hop across the pond" game. Use carpet squares or large construction paper squares as lilypads and tell the children they must hop across the pond without falling in, using the lilypads.
Preschool plans for amphibians can be found in numerous places. Alphabet lessons, math games and science activities can be planned easily for a thematic unit on amphibians. Use these activities as a jumping off point for creating fun amphibian lesson plans.

Q: Android SDK r18 appears to have broken ORMLite I am using ormlite v4.35 and I just had to update my android tools to r18 in eclipse, because the IDE would not build my project until I upgraded the tools. After the upgrade the following line throws an error:
mDbHelper = OpenHelperManager.getHelper(this, DatabaseHelper.class);

The exception is a NoClassDefFoundError
I went to the ormlite website and saw there was a newer version (4.40) downloaded and replaced the reference with the newer version, unfortunately that did not fix the problem. Has anyone run into the issue and resolved it?

A:
The exception is a NoClassDefFoundError

I think your problem is around the new behavior of the libs folder with Android r17 tools.  You must have your ORMLite jars in the libs folder.  This is just the -android and -core class jars -- not the javadoc or source jars which I just put at the root of the project.
Once you move the jars there, the Android builders should see your classes.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings. DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before March 29, 2018. ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report for each community are available for inspection at both the online location ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:09 Dec 28, 2017 Jkt 244001 Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–7659, or (email) patrick.sacbibit@fema.dhs.gov; or visit the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) online at https:// www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_ main.html. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a). These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM and FIS report become effective. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Community No. 490172 The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report become effective. Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal.

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1773]
Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.
DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before March 29, 2018.
ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1773, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472, (202) 646-7659, or (email) [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-7659, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Why Todd Haley Had to Go from a Non-Haley Hater
Posted on January 28, 2018 by KT Standard
Today Mike Tomlin and his staff will direct the AFC's Pro Bowl squad and, for the first time since 2012, someone other than Todd Haley will serve as offensive coordinator.
For many if not most of Steeler Nation this moment couldn't come soon enough.
This site's readers know that Steel Curtain Rising isn't a Haley Haters Haven and, moreover, has often defended the Steelers now former offensive coordinator, and this article neither offers retractions nor mea culpas.
But this is also one non-Haley hater who thinks that the Steelers braintrust were right to "go in another direction." Let's look at why.

Why Stick Up for a Shmuck Like Todd Haley in the First Place?
By all accounts, Todd Haley is abrasive. His flair ups with stars like Kurt Warner are on record. Some sort of off the field distraction seems to follow Haley wherever he goes. The pelvis fracturing incident over the holidays was the latest of many.
So why stick up for a guy who brings it on himself?
Because the title "offensive coordinator" is one of the most difficult in the NFL. Arguably, it's harder to coach defense, but casual fans have a lot more transparency into offensive coaching.
Therefore, everyone thinks they can do better than their team's offensive coordinator.
While this isn't new, social media combined with advent of Madden and fantasy football allows every fan to become a Twitter offensive coordinator. So at some level, this site's sympathy for Todd Haley has been rooted in the understanding that offensive coordinator have it tough, and that all but a sliver of fans who think they could do better, can't.
Which isn't to say that fan criticism of offensive coordinators is always wrong.
Take the dark days of Ray Sherman and '98 Steelers. On third and long, in a corner of Baltimore's legendary Purple Goose Saloon, we'd cry "Weak side pitch to Fred McAfee!" And sure enough, Kordell Stewart would lean left, flip the ball to McAfee who'd get clobbered just shy of the first down.
If a few 20 something Iron City swigging Steelers Nation expats in Maryland knew what Ray Sherman was going to call, then the opposing team did too.
Joe Walton's reign as Steelers offensive coordinator was worse. Despite having Merrill Hoge, Tim Worley, Barry Foster and Louis Lipps at his disposal, Walton built finesse offense around his tight ends (OK, he did have Eric Green.)
This finesse offense so enraged Joe Greene that he publicly complained about the impact of Walton's system on the team's identity.
Did Todd Haley's deficiencies ever sink to such lows? No, they did not.
What Haley Did Right — Keeping Roethlisberger Upright
During Bruce Arians' final 3 seasons as Steelers offensive coordinator, defenders sacked Ben Roethlisberger 122 times, a period which includes his 2010 four game suspension.
For comparison's sake, Ben Roethlisberger been sacked 58 timess in the last three seasons.
Certainly, poor offensive lines offensive lines played their role. (Although if Steel City Insider's Jim Wexell is right, Arians opposed beefing up the line.) But Ben Roethlisberger's penchant for holding on to the ball too long was a bigger factor, and Arians refused to do anything about it.
Todd Haley's first task was to deploy a system that let Ben be Ben without getting himself killed.
On this count, numbers don't lie:
Ben Roethlisberger's passing stats, by coordinator
Interestingly enough, these stats they're almost identical to the numbers run in the spring of 2016, so the trend has confirmed itself. Granted, having blue chip skill players like Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell, supported by the likes of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant has helped.
But, like him or not, Ben Roethlisberger has played his best football under Todd Haley, and he's taken a lot less punishment in the process.
It Comes Down to Roethlisberger and Results
So Todd Haley wasn't the disaster at offensive coordinator that many fans portray him as. Nonetheless, there are 2 reasons that explain why the Steelers rightly let him go.
First, football is a results driven business.
Gene Collier of the Post-Gazette is largely right when he argues that good play calls are calls that work, bad play calls are ones that don't. Imagine if David DeCastro had delivered a devastating block that sprung Le'Veon Bell loose on a 50 yard romp on the infamous 4th and 1 pitch, would you have complained about the call?
The 2 calls 4th down calls the ended as Ben Roethlisberger touchdown passes were far risker than the pitch, yet no one, save for El Dr. de Acero Gustavo Vallegos, complained about them.
Scoring 42 points in a playoff game is nice, but they weren't what the Steelers needed. Pittsburgh needed to answer the Jaguar's opening touchdown with a long drive of their own, instead of a 3 and out. Ditto the series following the blocked punt.
If EVER there was a situation where a big special teams play should have fueled a turn around, it was this series.
Instead, the Steelers suffered another 3 and out.

Take note, one series involved the dreaded empty sets, the other attempted pure smash mouth football. Neither worked. Nor were these isolated incidents. Haley was brilliant at times as Steelers offensive coordinator. Yet at other times, it was almost impossible to escape the feeling that Haley was mailing it in – the 2014 loss to Tampa Bay is a good example.
The second reason revolves around Ben Roethlisberger himself.
The Roethlisberger-Haley relationship has been dissected since the day Haley arrived. And while both men have tried to keep everything private, stories of tension between the two never stopped.
For as well as Ben Roethlisberger played under Todd Haley, the two appeared to struggle to stay on the same page. And player and coaches staying on the same page is often what distinguishes success from failure in fire-drill type situations like the end of the Patriots game.
Finally there's the issue keeping Ben happy. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has reported that at least someone on the South Side feels that friction between Roethlisberger and Haley drove Ben to muse about retirement last year. That was then, this is now.
Do you think it's a coincidence that Ben Roethlisberger now says he wants to play for 3 more years AND Randy Fichtner is now offensive coordinator? Neither do I.
Steelers fans might want to accept it, but the Steelers Super Bowl window might already be shut thanks to Ryan Shazier's injury. A Le'Veon Bell free agent departure would tip the scales. Time will tell.
But had Ben Roethlisberger opted to start his "Life's Work" after the Jacksonville loss, he would have slammed the Steelers Super Bowl window shut in a single swoop. And if sending Todd Haley packing for Cleveland was necessary to keep Ben Roethlisberger playing, then the move was a non-brainer.

For the past few months, I realised, I've been throwing on maxi skirts all the time. Because it's easy and it's the item you'd see on a hijabi that properly covers her aurah. But it's so boring and it gets old. So I decided that it's time for a change.
While I do wear jeans on my lazy days, it isn't suitable at all times. I study in IIUM, I work eight to five everyday that I'm not in class and I have multiple other things that I do where jeans is not an option. So when I can't wear them, what do I turn to?
Key points to take note: I need something that says 'working'. It also has to scream '20', my age, which means, it has to look fun and, most importantly, I want my personality to burst through.
So, my pick for today is this Jersey Blue Palazzo Jumpsuit from Sea-Citizen.com.
Why? It's loose and Muslimah friendly. The cutting is also suitable for office wear, which is where I was from; my office. The material is jersey and not denim. So it's super comfy and cooling, perfect for Malaysia's weather.
You can pair the jumpsuit with either a blazer or this cool jacket I'm wearing. At first, I wore the blazer but I felt that it was just too bland, I changed to my orange cropped jacket, also from Sea-Citizen.com. I think it's obvious that I like a pop of colour. Some of my friends commented on my choice of colours. They said that it's okay for me but not for them. But the truth is, all you need is a little confidence. Yes, with this orange, people can spot you from a mile away, I don't argue there. But who cares. If you love yourself, if you think you can, you CAN! Colour is good. You'll look alive! Trust me on this, OK?

Huskies Baseball Knocked out of NSIC Tournament With Loss
Justin LaBounty WJON
ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud State University baseball team fell the Minot State University Saturday, knocking them out of the 2019 NSIC baseball tournament.
The Huskies were defeated 11-4 at Joe Faber Field.
SCSU opened up the scoring with a single by Mitch Mallek to put them up 1-0 early, but Minot rallied in the fourth to tie the game at 3-3 before taking thing over in the fifth inning.
The Huskies now await word on a possible NCAA DII tournament bid that will be announced Sunday at 9:00 p.m. Fans can join the team at the Ultimate Sports Bar and Grill in Waite Park at 8:30 p.m. for a bracket show viewing gathering.
The Huskies have gained four consecutive NCAA tournament bids and have received eight tournament bids since 2010.


Monkey's sleeping through the night.
In honour of all the parents still in the trenches of the exhausted, delirious, stumbling crib-to-bed-and-back-again routine, here is a flashback to the days when sleep did not come so easily. Take heart, friends.
It is come to our attention that some of you may be mistaken about sleep. Specifically, how much of it you are supposed to do, and when. Please be advised: babies are to sleep more as they get older, not less.
When Monkey was around three months old, he slept through the night for ten glorious nights in a row. I was refreshed. I was happy. I was that mum, the one who showers and blow-dries her hair and has endless patience and makes homemade salad dressing. "How's Monkey sleeping?" other mums would ask, and I would say "Oh, actually pretty well now, thank you," never daring to mention that "pretty well" was code for 8-10 hours straight(!!!) for fear that a) the other mums would hate me and b) the universe would punish me.
Despite my efforts to appease the cruel universe and keep my good fortune under wraps, Monkey started waking up at night again. He has his ups and downs, usually waking to nurse twice per night. But recently it's been out of control.
Last night, he woke up approximately 18 times. I say approximate, because by 4:00 a.m. I was delirious. He nursed, he cried, I rocked him, I cried, he nursed, he rolled in his crib like a fish out of water, bumping his head on the rails and crying even harder. Rinse and repeat. I think I fell out of the rocking chair.
To comfort myself, I summon all of the truisms and age-old advice my sleep-deprived brain can remember: This too shall pass. Babyhood is such a short time in the grand scheme of things. I'll miss the midnight cuddles when they're gone. He won't be waking up in the night when he's 20 (though this won't be my problem anyway).
And so continues my long-standing and deeply gratifying love affair with coffee.
Facial injuries: the unofficial badge of the bad mother?
For my son, it's a moment of pain soon forgotten. For me, it's a visible outward sign of my failings as a mother. Too dramatic? Probably.
My kids don't hurt themselves all that often, but when they do, it's usually in the face, which is just super great. There was the time that 10 month-old Bean fell forward and caught the corner of the coffee table right between the eyes. He has a thin white scar. A few months later as he was learning to walk, he tripped over the edge of a mat at baby boot camp* and landed on his cheek, on my stainless steel water bottle. The bruise added some colour to the vacation photos from our friends' wedding in Mexico the next week. Monkey has suffered a couple of truck-to-face injuries, courtesy of Bean. And, if I put off trimming their fingernails one day too long, both boys will invariably seize the opportunity to give themselves a gash on the cheek or nose during the night.
As I am pretty much a walking guilt factory, until those bruises or cuts heal they're ongoing reminders of how I somehow let my boys down – even if the injury wasn't preventable, isn't serious, or didn't happen on my watch.
Yesterday I was on my way out the door when my cell rang. It was daycare. Bean had tipped over in his chair and hit his mouth against the table. He was bleeding a lot, and very upset, and I should come get him.
I rushed to daycare and found all the kids sitting at the table, Bean whimpering in the teacher's lap. He had blood around his mouth and on his hands. He reached for me and I picked him up, only to realize that he had just wet his pants. He hasn't done that in ages. I took him downstairs and changed him, as he sobbed that his tooth and his mouth hurt and begged me to make it better.
I am a feeler. And strong emotions make me cry, whether it's sadness, anger, fear, or happiness. When I see another person's genuine tears, there is a 97% chance that I will tear up too. And it's only gotten worse with age. Now that I'm a mother, I can pretty much forget the possibility that I'll get through a day without crying at least once. At first I blamed the pregnancy hormones. Then I blamed the new mother hormones. Then the pregnancy hormones again. Then I tried blaming my postpartum depression. But whatever the reason, all the blame-throwing in the world can't change the simple fact that I am a huge, sappy sap.
Yesterday with my own child, I was helpless. On the drive home as he cried in his car seat, I cried too. Because he was in pain, and because I was worried. Because his tooth might be damaged, might turn grey and fall out. Because it was my fault. Because I was the one who put him in daycare, even if it was just one day a week. He didn't need to be there – I'm on maternity leave. He could have been home with me. He might not have gotten hurt.
So here are my questions to the other mothers and feelers out there. Am I as ridiculous as I feel to be so torn up over a tooth injury? How do you keep it in when you feel your kids' pain? And do you feel the guilt too? Do you beat yourselves up over the bumps and bruises?
* Despite the name, baby boot camp is for the mums, not the babies. But hey, boot camp for babies could be great too! Teach them some discipline right from the start. Am I right? Anyone?
As kids, my older brother and I had nothing in common. We were connected by a house, a set of parents, and a couple of little brothers – nothing more. But somehow as we've grown, we've aligned. Now we're often on the same page, in the things we find funny, the memories that stand out, what we want for and expect from our kids.
– The girls' swimming lessons are over at 10, and we'll come over right after that.
– What can we bring? Don't say nothing.
My brother will go pretty far for a laugh. It's a safe bet that if he thinks it's funny, so will I. (O.J.-covered O.J. included.) So why is this? Has our shared childhood experience finally found us through the years of distance? Or is it in our genes? Maybe we're genetically predisposed to think a poor-quality print of O.J. Simpson taped to an orange juice carton is funny. Whatever it is, I appreciate my family more now as an adult than I ever did when I was young.
Thanks for The Juice, big brother.

Equipment guidelines have been established to optimize your potential results with The Listening Programs. Because of the importance of preserving the harmonic content and the wide frequency ranges contained in The Listening Programs, good quality equipment is recommended.
Due to the vast number of models of CD players available and the rapid change in the market, it is difficult to recommend a specific player. Portable, personal CD players, such as the Sony Discman, provide the most flexibility for the listener. If you are using this type of player, a model that has rechargeable batteries and an anti-skip mechanism is preferable. (Note: The headphones that come with these players will not be adequate for use with TLP).
If you prefer, you may use your component home stereo system or a mini-component (bookshelf) system. With these systems, be sure that the equalizer is turned off, or that the equalizer settings are flat, and that loudness or mega-bass settings are turned off. The channel balance should be equal between right and left. Boom-box-type players are not ideal for use with TLP. In general, these systems are intended to maximize low frequencies and to be played at high volumes and don't typically produce as good a quality of sound at the higher frequencies as do other types of players.
Good quality headphones are an essential element of your TLP equipment. The important aspect to consider when choosing headphones is the frequency response. At the high end of the response range, headphones should have a frequency response of at least 23,000 Hz. Although CD players are generally tested for output up to 20,000 Hz., a higher range is needed for the headphones; this allows for transmission of the higher frequencies at a relatively low volume. Two other specifications important to TLP are Driver Size, which should be 40-50mm and Power Handling Capacity, which should be 1000mW (for closed style, minimum) and 500mW (for open style, minimum).
Wireless headphones are NOT to be used with TLP. The technologies used to transmit sounds through the air will negatively affect the quality of sound needed for TLP. Wireless headphones will also impact the preset channel balance for laterality on the CDs. More specific recommendations follow at the end of this page.
To ensure maximum effectiveness of TLP, it is important that your equipment is functioning properly. If you are using TLP with a child, put the headphones on and listen for a few moments to be sure that the headphones, CD player, and CD are all working properly, and that the volume is not turned too loud. Make sure you do this at the beginning of EVERY session.
Compact Discs: TLP CDs should be handled very carefully. Dirt, scratches, or fingerprints on the CD will affect how it plays. Try using a commercially available cleaning kit to keep CDs clean. Try a different CD in your player to determine whether the problem is with your TLP CD or with your other equipment. If one of your TLP CDs becomes scratched or damaged, contact your program supervisor to order a replacement.
Headphones: If you hear sound in only one side of the headphones, or if the output is intermittent, the headphones may need to be repaired. first confirm that the headphones are plugged into the player properly. Try listening through a different pair of headphones(such as those that came with your CD player) to determine whether the source of the problem is the headphones or the player. Headphones typically come with a warranty. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for recommendations for repairs.
Compact Disc Players: If you have ruled out the CD or headphones as the culprits, your CD player may be the problem. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for repairs.
Volume, at all times, should be soft and gentle. The effectiveness of TLP is not based on loudness. More volume does not equal more effect. If anything, active listening -- the purpose of TLP -- is better served at low volume levels. This also protects the delicate mechanisms of the auditory system.
Start each session with a sound check and periodically check your child's volume level. In most cases, it should be below 2 or 3 (on a scale of 1-10).
Spend approximately one minute listening and establishing a comfortable, low level volume. This volume should be maintained throughout the entire 15-minute segment. Volume in TLP has a large dynamic range. This is intentional, it is one of the psychoacoustic processes that invites active listening.
Shifts in volume will be most noticeable in the nature sections and in the B-Tracks of each segment. These B-Track sections are the middle five minutes of each 15-minute segment and are the most heavily processed. They have been specifically lowered in volume from the adjoining tracks. The filtered and gated sounds in the B-Tracks need not be at the volume level of the rest of the program. Because of their strength, we lower the volume to keep the listening experience pleasant. Do not raise the volume in these sections. We want to re-emphasize that when it comes to volume, less is more.
Warning: Excessive exposure to any loud sound could cause permanent hearing damage. Please keep volumes low while listening to anything through headphones.
As previously stated, there are many brands of equipment which meet the technical requirements of The Listening Programs. However, the audio equipment listed on this site has been specifically tested and approved.

Few things stand out more than Garlic Scapes in the garden. They have a curly, serpentine look that even got the neighbors asking about them. But even better than their look is their taste. We harvested (a little late, but just barely) garlic scapes from our hard-neck garlic this weekend. They became part of a White Bean and Garlic Scapes Dip. We had friends over for dinner and the four of us nearly inhaled the dip.
America has been known for years as a 'Land of Plenty'. Yet, even the Land of Plenty is not immune from economic recession. But, there may be a silver lining to this darkly clouded economy. The very American ideals of frugality and efficiency have reappeared after years of extravagant waste. I've heard that everything old is new again, including our grandparent's values of thrift and conservation. But just maybe there are some NEW frugal and efficient ideas we can try out too.
Not since WWII has the White House had a vegetable garden. Once again, a Victory Garden will grow at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For those of us who love fresh, organic, home-grown fruits and veggies it is great to see a kindred spirit in the President of the United States. Today, the First Lady, Michelle Obama and students from Washington's Bancroft Elementary School broke ground on the South Lawn for a new White House garden.

5G Dilemma: Why Major Airlines Are Cancelling Flights To The US After Biden Okayed Rollout Of New Cellular Services
By Ashish Dangwal
Major international airlines have either canceled or rescheduled their flights to the US owing to concerns that the rollout of 5G cellular services from January 19 could interfere with the aircraft's safety systems.
Emirates, Air India, Japan Airlines, and All Nippon Airways have all confirmed flight cancellations as a result of the C-band 5G rollout by telecom majors AT&T and Verizon Communications citing fears that it may interfere with sensitive instruments.
#FlyAI: Due to deployment of the 5G communications in USA,we will not be able to operate the following flights of 19th Jan'22:
AI101/102 DEL/JFK/DEL
AI173/174 DEL/SFO/DEL
AI127/126 DEL/ORD/DEL
AI191/144 BOM/EWR/BOM
Please standby for further updates.https://t.co/Cue4oHChwx
— Air India (@airindiain) January 18, 2022
Meanwhile, AT&T and Verizon have now decided not to activate their 5G antennas near airports, but it's still unclear how long this suspension will last.
The decision was apparently taken after major airline CEOs wrote the Biden administration on January 17, appealing it to intervene in the planned introduction of 5G technology. They warned of "catastrophic" consequences if it went through.
FedEx Express – Wikiwand
"At our sole discretion, we have voluntarily agreed to temporarily defer turning on a limited number of towers around certain airport runways… We are launching our advanced 5G services everywhere else as planned," a statement from an AT&T spokesperson reads.
However, AT&T and Verizon claim that their equipment will not interfere with airplane avionics and that the technology is already in use in many other nations without mishap. Both firms confirmed that they were limiting deployment near particular airports on their own initiative.
Is Airlines' Concern Genuine?
5G is the latest cellular network generation, after 4G, which debuted in late 2009 and is currently used on the majority of US cell phones.
Since 1980, a new-generation network has appeared almost every 10 years, delivering higher speeds and broader capabilities. The 5G or the fifth generation is projected to provide even faster speed, allowing users to download a movie on their phone in seconds
The new 5G wireless services that AT&T and Verizon intend to bring out employ a portion of the radio spectrum that is similar to the band used by aviation altimeters, which measure the airplane's altitude above the ground.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said that the C-Band 5G services that are now being rolled out may interfere with sensitive airplane equipment such as altimeters and impede low-visibility operations.

The airlines have also warned that the new wireless services might render a substantial number of widebody planes inoperable, potentially stranding "tens of thousands of Americans overseas" and causing flight havoc in the United States.
"Unless our major hubs are cleared to fly, the vast majority of the traveling and shipping public will essentially be grounded," wrote the chief executives of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and others in a letter, as reported by Reuters.
The FAA will conduct a survey first to determine whether planes can successfully take off and land in these conditions, and will only allow planes with precise, trustworthy altimeters to fly near high-power 5G. Planes equipped with older altimeters will not be permitted to land in low-visibility situations.
"5G interference with the aircraft's radio altimeter might prohibit engine and braking systems from switching to landing mode, preventing an aircraft from stopping on the runway," the FAA noted on January 14.
What 5G Firms Say
Both telecom firms, AT&T and Verizon, proposed limiting the strength of their 5G around airports and helipads for the first six months. But the wireless industry trade group, CTIA, highlighted that over 40 nations have now implemented C-Band 5G with no "reports of harmful interference with aviation equipment."
"The laws of physics are the same in the United States and France. If U.S. airlines are permitted to operate flights every day in France, then the same operating conditions should allow them to do so in the United States," AT&T CEO John Stankey and Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg wrote in a letter to US' Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson.

For the time being, however, the launch of 5G wireless services has been delayed by two weeks to allow the FAA and service providers to finalize the agreement. The airlines will have until January 21 to provide these companies with a list of around 50 airports where the power of 5G C-Band services will be lowered until July 5.
The telecommunications industry, however, argues that the aviation industry has known about C-Band technology for several years but has done little to prepare; airlines have refused to replace altimeters that may be affected by interference, and the FAA has only recently begun examining planes' equipment.
How Europe Is Managing 5G
In other nations, the implementation has not sparked as much alarm as it does in the United States. This is because the manner in which 5G is implemented differs from country to country.
Networks in the European Union (EU), for example, operate at lower frequencies than those planned by US carriers, decreasing the possibility of interference. Low-power 5G masts are also possible. Nonetheless, several governments have taken further measures to mitigate potential hazards.
There are so-called "buffer zones" near airports in France, where 5G transmissions are limited and antennas must be bent downward to avoid any interference.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and telecom carriers all agreed that 5G and airline travel can coexist, The Guardian reported. In approximately 40 nations, they already do so.
There have been no mishaps in other nations where 5G is in use, the telecom providers claim, and American planes frequently travel to those countries. "5G and aviation have safely coexisted in other nations," according to the FAA. "Power levels have been decreased around airports and the businesses have worked together ahead to deployment" in specific areas, the agency stated in a statement on January 3.
