About Landmark
HAiR Opens Friday, August 4, 2017!
Landmark Musical Theatre proudly presents the 50th Anniversary of the Summer Of Love production of HAiR at the Great Star Theatre in San Francisco, August 4-26, 2017.
In addition to the Summer of Love, we also celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the musical HAiR itself, one of the first rock musicals ever to reach Broadway, with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, and a glorious musical score by Galt MacDermot.
A product of the hippie counterculture and the social/sexual revolution of the late 1960s, HAiR mirrors what was happening in the United States during that era, in particular the conflict over the Vietnam War and the use of the draft to conscript young American men to fight the war.
Opening off-Broadway in October 1967 at the Public Theater in Greenwich Village, it quickly moved to Broadway under the auspices of producer Michael Butler and director Tom O'Horgan in April 1968 where it became a huge hit, with concurrent productions running in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and many other cities, both in the United States and worldwide. It closed on Broadway in 1972, after running almost five years and becoming, at the time, the 10th longest running Broadway musical ever.

My research currently focuses on two interlocking questions -- (1) how do stars form and (2) what are the properties of the dust which surrounds their birth? The questions are connected because we learn a great deal about young stars and their natal cocoons by observing the dust around them.
I am particularly interested in using scattered light from dust grains to learn about the dust and the distribution of matter in molecular clouds prior to the formation of protostars.
Having worked on low-mass star formation for my Ph.D. and massive star formation during my first post-doc, I am now interested in discovering and characterizing the low-mass stellar population of very young regions where massive stars have formed or will form.
I am involved in two large surveys of the Galactic Plane: and RAMPS. I am also working on the IN-SYNC survey (part of SDSS III and SDSS IV).
As part of the IN-SYNC project, we have used the APOGEE spectrograph to measure the radial velocity dispersion of young stars in the embedded cluster NGC 1333. Because NGC 1333 is still actively forming stars, we can compare the velocity dispersion of the stars with the diffuse gas and dense gas cores out of which stars are forming. The young stars have a larger velocity dispersion (i.e. are dynamically hotter) than the gas and cores from which they form, and appear to be in virial equilibrium, while the cores are sub-virial. The process by which the stars obtain a larger velocity dispersion than their natal cores must act quickly (because these stars are only 1-2 Myr old) and cannot be the result of gas-removal (since the gas is still present). The full paper has been accepted to ApJ and is here. A 3D visualization of the data used in this paper is available. This WebGL model will only work with a relatively modern browser and graphics card.
Using adaptive optics on the Keck telescopes, we have conducted a very sensitive search for low-mass protostars in filamentary infrared dark cloud (IRDC). We were able to identify young stars both statistically as an excess of red sources (see above, left) and individually through their extended emission from outflows or reflection nebulosity (see above, right). Low-mass stars are forming throughout the cloud, not just in the dense knots where high-mass stars form. There is also some evidence that high-mass stars form in the more gravitationally bound portions of the filament. For the latter analysis we mapped out how bound the filamenent is in slices along its length (see below). The full paper is here.
We have completed a study comparing different methods of obtaining distances to dark, star-forming clouds. We chose a sample of clouds for which there is a direct parallax measurement of the distance to maser spots within the cloud. We compared those distances against kinematic distances (using our knowledge of the rotation of the galaxy to estimate where a cloud is based on how fast it is moving) and extinction distances (using the fact that dark clouds make background stars appear fainter and redder). The main comparison figure is shown above and you can read the full paper.
In preparation for the large multi-year Millimeter Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz (MALT90) Survey, we conducted a short pilot survey to figure out how best to choose our targets and verify that our mapping scheme worked well. MALT90 will survey thousands of dense molecular clumps associated with high-mass star formation in a variety of evolutionary stages (as pictured above). These clumps cover only a small fraction of the Galactic plane, so we needed to select the best way to identify where to look. On the basis of the Pilot Survey detection rates, we chose the ATLASGAL catalog as our input source list. You can see the full results of the Pilot Survey at the MALT90 Pilot Survey Webpage.
Ammonia, the common household chemical, is formed in the dense cores of gas where stars form. The structure of this molecule allows us to use various features of its spectra to measure the temperature of these very cold (~ 10 K, only a few degrees above absolute zero) dense cores. This temperature is key to deriving all sorts of other physical properties of the core; in combination with dust emission maps we can learn about a core's mass, its chemistry, and how turbulent it is. With the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope we are able to categorize cores based on whether they contain a young star and whether they are in a cluster of stars and study the physical properties of these different groups. Read my paper on the ammonia Properties of Dense Cores.
In deep near-infrared images we see many objects which are not background stars. Instead, they are galaxies composed of billions of stars. Nearby galaxies look very different from stars, but more distant ones can sometimes be difficult to identify. If we want to study young stars galaxies can be a problem, as their colors mimic the colors of young stars at many infrared wavelengths. If we want to figure out where the dust is from the colors of background stars, galaxies are a potential contaminant, since their intrinsic colors are redder than most stars. However, if we can identify them robustly we can use them as extra background sources to make our maps better. Read my paper on Hunting Galaxies.
In the course of obtaining very long exposure images of clouds in the near-infrared, we were very surprised to see the clouds themselves glowing. We named the effect cloudshine and modeled it as ambient starlight from many nearby stars reflecting off dust in the clouds. The pictures provide a beautiful qualitative picture of where the mass is in the clouds and how the wispy and condensed structures in molecular clouds exist together. It will also provide an important way to check simulations of what molecular clouds look like, and hopefully a direct measure of the column density of the cloud. Read more about cloudshine.

Haven't done a dress for less in a while, so here's a new one! Since I'm starting my first full time job soon I figured I would do a work look! It's a bit over $100 since it needs to be dressier.
Lovin' the shoes and the handbag!
Congratulations on the new job, sweetie!
"Dressing for less" -- I thought you were teasing us at first. Everything is so charming.
okay this is a great little color palette...and i'm loving your nails in the post below!!
I love the pants and the shoes.
Aww, you seem to have a propensity for purple. Love the shoes!
I'm sorry, I don't have bloglovin. Could you please follow me via google? Thanks!!
those heels!!! I'm in love!!! Cool outfit!!
Those shoes are adorable! Love the colour and style.
That top is so cute - would have never guessed the price!
love this post, the trousers and platforms are a must.
i'm loving your blog! really cool posts.
I *love* the purple bag, that color just screams Spring! Too cute!
Very nice shoes,I like how much you care for details. In every outfit they make the different! Good luck (and also good look) for the new job.
Hmm, I wonder how much shipping to asutralia costs. Those heels are so wonderfully demure, i want them!
Those trousers are awesome =) I started working full time about a year ago and have found the clothing transition to be.. interesting... I'm glad you are thinking about it now!

Q: A notation in Theorem 3.4 in Chapter 1 of Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry I am trying to read the proof of Theorem 3.4 in chapter 1 in Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry. In the proof there is a notation that seems quite confusing to me:
Here is the related context (Sorry for using a screenshot rather than posting with latex in my own language)

I am confused with the notation $I(Y)S_{(x_i)}$. Here $S$ is the polynomial ring $k[x_0, \cdots, x_n]$, $S_{(x_i)}$ is the subring with degree 0 in the localized ring $S_{x_i}$. $I(Y)$ is the homogeneous ideal of $Y$. But what is the meaning of $I(Y)S_{(x_i)}$? The isomorphism should send element in $I(Y_i)$ to degree 0 in $S_{x_i}$, but simply multiplying $I(Y)$ and $S_{(x_i)}$ seems not satisfying this. For example, taking $Y$ to be the points satisfying $x^2+y^2-z^2=0$, then $f(x, y) = x^2+y^2-1$ is sent to $(x/z)^2 + (y/z)^2 -1 $. I cannot realize it as a pattern like $I(Y)S_{(z)}$. If writing it as $(x^2+y^2-z^2) \cdot 1/z^2$, then $1/z^2$ is not has degree 0. But writing it as $1 \cdot ((x/z)^2 + (y/z)^2 -1)$, then $1$ is not in $I(Y)$.
I read this Hartshorne notation in Theorem 3.4 but still cannot figure it out.
Staring at it for a few minutes, I am thinking is it a typo here? Should it be $I(Y)S_{x_i}$ rather than $I(Y)S_{(x_i)}$?
Thanks!
Here is exercise 2.6 in chapter 1 for cross references. Here $\varphi_i$ sends $[x_0, \cdots, x_n]$ to $(x_0/x_i, \cdots, x_n/x_i)$ omitting $x_i/x_i$.

Q: How can I debug my recursive function that's causing stack overflow error? The problem I'm trying to solve is KR2 exercise 1-22; 'write a program to "fold" long input lines into two or more shorter lines after the last non-blank character that occurs before the n-th column of input. Make sure your program does something intelligent with very long lines, and if there are no blanks or tabs before the specified column'.
I've attempted to do with a recursive function which just gets stuck.
Example of erroneous behavior:
hello world << input
output >>
hell
o wo
o wo
o wo
o wo
....
...
Expected behavior:
hello world << input
output >>
hell
o wo
rld
Second example of erroneous behavior:
h e llo world << input
output >>
h e
 llo
llo
 llo
llo
 llo
llo
....
...
Secondary expected behavior:
h e llo world << input
output >>
h e
 llo
 wor
ld
See code below:
#include <stdio.h>
#define PAGEWIDTH 5
#define MAXLINE 1000

int getline(char line[], int maxline);
void fold(char line[], int start);

/* "fold" long input lines into two or more shorter lines after
  the last non-blnk character that occurs before the n-th
  column of input */
int main()
{
    int len;                /* current line length*/
    char line[MAXLINE];     /* current input lne*/

    while ((len = getline(line, MAXLINE)) > 0)
        if (len > PAGEWIDTH)
            fold(line, 0);
    return 0;
}

/* getline : read a line into s, return length */
int getline(char s[], int lim)
{
    int c, i;

    c = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < lim - 1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'; ++i)
        s[i] = c;
    if (c == '\n') {
        s[i] = c;
        ++i;
    }
    s[i] = '\0';

    return i;
}

void fold(char line[], int start)
{
    int i, lstnb;
    i = lstnb = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < PAGEWIDTH-1 && line[start + i] != '\0'; ++i) {
        if (line[start + i] != ' ')
            lstnb = i;
    }
    for (i = 0; i <= lstnb; ++i)
        putchar(line[start + i]);

    putchar('\n');
    if(line[lstnb + 1] != '\0')
        fold(line, lstnb + 1);
}

A: good question. First, I think that a recursive solution isn't ideal here. I got it working for the inputs you gave, but considering how small PAGEWIDTH is, you'll likely run into issues with larger inputs. Using a loop would make your life easier and result in a more reliable function.
That said, your issue lies in the recursive call you make in the fold() function, you are providing the wrong start index. This means you don't move forward in the line with each call. Also, you don't clearly define a base case (i.e. when to end the recursion). You can do this by modifying your for loop conditions or passing the string length (n) to the function and checking whether start > n.
Checking base case and the recursive call is always a good place to start when debugging recursive functions. This is normally where my issues come from and it's really easy to assume you did them correctly and overlook them while debugging.
I'm not sure what you are looking for in terms of an answer, but if those suggestions don't get you any closer, I pasted a fix in a pastebin here. I didn't post it here in case you wanted to solve it on your own.
Hope that works, let me know if there's something I missed.


We host bi-annual our recitals at the Arlington Heights Library. Our teachers also perform to showcase their talent.
Students showcase how many songs they can perform from memory. The festival takes place at the Arlington Heights Farmers Market in summer.
Students are occasionally invited to perform an opening act for our teacher's concerts and shows at churches, halls, coffee shops, restaurants, and jazz clubs.


Improve traction and handling by eliminating bushing compliance and correcting suspension geometry. Unlike our competitors who charge more and use low quality commercial grade 2 piece rod ends we use a Very High Precision PTFE Lined Spherical rod end that uses a very high strength heat treated alloy steel race with a PTFE liner for extra strength and life. The precision rod ends used gives precise axle control, eliminating the compliance that leads to wheel hop, while still allowing the rear suspension to articulate freely. J&M is also the first to incorporate offset bushings to make sure the correct suspension geometry is in place to guarantee correct bind free articulation. Our lightweight control arms weigh less than 2.5 pounds which make them almost 9 pounds lighter than the factory control arms. These control arms are designed for the race track and not recommended for street use.

David Scott's NO BULLY ZONE show is both educational and fun. This show teaches the children about bullies, bully characteristics, and what to do if you are being bullied in a fun way. A Downloadable Teacher's Guide with Learning Objectives is also available on the program page. This assembly program is 45 minutes and geared toward elementary learning objectives. The No Bully Zone promotes good character with clear and specific messages about behaviors. Select the program below and click to find out more on its own page, including outlines, contents, descriptions and a concise one-page Teacher's Guide that will prepare students and teachers with the concepts, objectives, vocabulary and more.
As new shows become available, they will be listed here. If you have a specific subject matter that you would like to see presented in a show, for your school, please contact me, and we can discuss it.
An all-new school assembly program!!
Geared for all elementary grades, K-6!
Suitable for any public, parochial or private school setting!
No Bully Zone is a fast, exciting, fun-filled program to help teach kids about bullying. Children will learn how to identify bullies, what to do when they are bullied by others, and how to help their friends who are being bullied. Teachers and staff will also learn many identifiers and techniques to help change, thwart or prevent bullying. Through stories, games, comedy and audience participation, students will become more aware of this "hidden" problem and help learn how to make their school a kinder, safer and more fun place.
Sketch-O-Matic: Students will identify bullying and recall ways to prevent it.
Which Color For You?: Students will learn the five common characteristics of bullying.
Nine Pair of Hands: Students will learn that working together builds friendships and prevents bullying..
Be a Hero: Students will discover four ways to help keep their friends from becoming victims of bullying..
The Giant & the Dwarf: Students will understand that being a bully makes you ³small² and helping others make you a ³bigger² person.
Be S.A.F.E.:Students will learn an important acronym that can help them remember four things to do to keep from being bullied by others. S-Stand tall & speak bravely. A - Ask for help from friends or teachers. F - Figure out your choices. E - End it calmly by not losing your temper..
One after another, David's routines will keep students and teachers fascinated. As always, there is a lot of comedy and a lot of audience participation to help students focus on and remember the objectives and educational content.
Like all of David's programs, this is a professionally scripted show, written with proper sequencing for high and low spots to provide children with lots of excitement but prevent them from becoming unruly. Children who are called on to assist are always rewarded and never embarrassed. Teachers and principals always comment on how wonderfully David handles children. In addition, David adds special humorous touches that just the adults will understand and enjoy.
As always, David brings all of his own props and tables, has specially-tailored costuming and carries his own sound system. This is an act that can be performed in almost any location, large rooms or small, stage, auditorium, classroom or cafeteria. It can be adjusted to be suitable for groups of from 10 to 250. Schools with larger enrollments should have two programs. Splitting a full-range school into, say, one K-2 program and another for grades 3-5 allows David to customize the language, objectives and vocabulary to the different grade levels. When performing for Primary grades, David will make the program lighter, faster and more fun. When presenting the same program to Upper Elementary, David will use higher vocabulary, and focus more strongly on the objectives and cause and effect.
We perform at any hour you need, on any day. Call TODAY to make your appointment, and book your show.

As the massive threat of Hurricane Lane looms over Hawaii, the state can turn to an unlikely source for solace: The group of pre-teens representing Hawaii at the Little League World Series. With Honolulu representing the western region of the United States, the organization is giving Hawaii representation on a national stage -- which isn't something that's seen often in the realm of sports.
Hawaii routed Staten Island 10-0 to move to the United States Championship, so some people at home are undoubtedly taking notice. The biggest moment of the night was a grand slam from Sean Yamaguchi in the second inning.
The team also gave a shout-out to their home state, a friendly "aloha." There was a clip in the dugout of Hawaii manager Gerald Oda talking to his team, telling the kids that "we're the hope."
After the game, Oda sent an emotional message to the fans back home.
"... We told the boys that what they're ..." Oda said before he had to pause to compose himself. "What they're going through is very difficult -- we've been there -- all of us have been there when these storms have come. And it can be chaotic, it's a lot of stress. But we told the kids that ... this is our opportunity to really give back. Because we know that there's a lot of people at home watching the game. And we said that if anything, for them to watch us, we can give them hope. They can take their mind off. And that's what we hope it did."
It was a huge showing from the team with a message behind it as their home prepares for the storm. Hawaii's next game will come on Saturday against the winner of Georgia and Staten Island on Friday.
Though the Little League World Series is a fun affair, it's undoubtedly tough for the kids to be away from home. They've already become "the hope" by making it this far, but there's no question they'd like to close out what's been an extremely impressive run and bring the trophy home.

Caleb Jeffreys is always looking to fill a role at school.
The Green Bay West senior seems to have a knack for adapting to each one.
"If there is an activity at West High School, there's a really good chance Caleb is involved," West wrestling coach and athletic director Josh Murnane said.
"He's one of those kids that does everything. You don't see many varsity heavyweight wrestlers that are also in the school musical. He's just a very dynamic kid."
Jeffreys (16-4) is enjoying a successful season with the Green Bay United co-op wrestling team after making the adjustment to moving up to heavyweight last year. He hopes to make his final curtain call on the mat at the WIAA individual state tournament this year.
"I see a lot of parallels between wrestling and theater," Jeffreys said. "Both have kind of helped each other with me being successful in both."
Jeffreys, who will attend the University of Chicago, has participated in the fall play and spring musical throughout high school. The honor roll student also partakes in one-act forensics, student council, intra-city student council and the language arts academic team.
Jeffreys discusses wrestling, acting and sleepwalking in this week's Senior Spotlight.
What similarities do you see between wrestling and theater?
One of the biggest things is before you have to perform or compete, you're nervous. For me, it's almost the same feeling before I have to go on the mat and before I have to step on stage. I have the same kind of nervousness. Wrestling has helped me cope with stage fright.
You have to be in a lot of control with your body (for both). If you're portraying a character who you want to have a certain (mannerism) or walk a certain way, it's really difficult to conform your body to do that for two hours straight to stay in character. Wrestling has helped me take control of my body so when I'm on stage, I have full control and can do a whole bunch of different things.
When did you start wrestling?
My dad wanted me to wrestle my freshman year. That's the first time I ever tried it. For years I did taekwondo. My dad is a huge martial-arts guy and jiu-jitsu guy. He knew a lot about wrestling because the guys he works out with are like all ex-wrestlers. I actually never even really knew that wrestling was a sport until my freshman year. I really didn't think about it or know anything. I came onto the mat, and I totally knew nothing. I didn't even know what a takedown was.
What has been your favorite part in a school musical?
My favorite role was last year in "Oklahoma." That was our spring musical, and I played a swindler, who has this super, super fake and kind of slangy ascent, called Ali Hakim. He falls in love with one of the women and kind of tricks her and plays with her heart a little bit. It was just kind of a comedic relief role.
What was your most embarrassing moment on the wrestling mat?
I would always take off my warm-up shirt (before matches freshman year), but would have my shorts on because I would forget to take them off. I would walk up to the little desk (to check in) and the ref would say, "Are you going to take those shorts off?" That was usually pretty embarrassing.
You're on the smaller end of the spectrum in the heavyweight class. How did you adjust to making the move up and facing bigger opponents?
All summer I trained specifically for the heavyweight class. I trained on trying not to shoot under them, trying to stay out of their ties and trying to go to the outside just because I knew I wouldn't be able to overwhelm them with my strength. A lot of (heavyweights) are big football players, and they're incredibly strong.
Your co-op team added Green Bay East as one of the schools in it. How has the inclusion of a third school gone?
I think it's great we have more people coming into our program. I think that the more people that come in, the better we get. There's more competition in the wrestling room, and there's more buzz.
The team nickname in previous years was the Trocats, which is a combination of the Green Bay Southwest (Trojans) and Green Bay West (Wildcats) nicknames. What would you recommend it be changed to now?
I thought it would be really cool to somehow incorporate the Red Devil into the Trocat logo. The Trocat logo was already kind of really ridiculous to begin with. It would turn heads all the time at tournaments. I thought it would have been fun to turn the face red and give him some horns.
Which teammate would you entrust with a pet?
Jordan Machuca. He's a really trustworthy guy. I don't think I've ever not trusted him with anything.
Who is the best-dressed person on the team?
Alec (Basten) is usually pretty well-dressed. He doesn't dress super flashy, but always has something nice on.
Which teammate could survive on a deserted island?
Jack Delsart. He's big into hunting and things like that.
Who is the messiest person on the team?
Probably me. I'm pretty messy. I always have a ton of stuff in my locker and it's never organized. If you go into my locker, you probably need a nose plug because of all the piles of clothes I should probably clean.
What's a rule change you would make for wrestling?
I usually like having a beard, but you're only allowed to have a mustache. I don't like that. Every year I have to get out the little buzzer. It's a sad little moment. If I had to make a rule change, I would say to let people have beards to some extent.
You're going into college undecided on a major. What is a career field you definitely don't see yourself doing some day?
Being a corporate lawyer, like defending corporations with lawsuits and things like that. I would not want to do that or something that is super, super math involved. Math just doesn't really click with me.
What's something most people might not know about you?
I'm a major sleepwalker. I walk in my sleep, and I do really strange things in my sleep. I think it was over break when I woke up, and I usually put my glasses right next to my bed, but my glasses weren't there. They were just gone. They just disappeared. I looked all over my room and couldn't find my glasses. … My mom came home and goes into my room to give another look, because sometimes you can find things with a different person's perspective. She looks behind my super old, dusty LEGO sets, and the glasses were there.

Mechanical Mirage by Kazuhiko Nakamura »
Located in the United States, Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah
In fact, American Bryce Canyon is not canyon in the literal sense of the word. Located in southwestern Utah, Bryce – a chain of amphitheaters, stretching for 40 kilometers at an altitude of 2700 meters above sea level. Visiting this place for the first time, you begin to understand the feelings Gulliver experienced, being in the country of the giants. The Paiute Indians, inhabiting these places thousands of years ago, believed that the formed earth pyramids (hoodoos) were the Legend People whom the trickster Coyote turned to stone. It is hard to imagine that the landscape surrounding you is a creation of nature, because it looks like a handmade sculpture.
Ancient Indians who inhabited the canyon gave it a name which can be translated as "The red rocks standing like men in niches, like a vase." "Bryce" Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce Mormon who founded one of the first settlements of white people here in 1874.
Old roots of a tree. Bryce Canyon
Its unusual appearance Bryce acquired by erosion, water and temperature extremes. The names of many Bryce rocks were given due to their shapes. Looking closer, one can distinguish unusual castles with carved windows, good-natured giant, royal personages.
Especially nice view of the canyon is at sunrise or sunset when the rocks start to play with all their colors – from almost white to dark red (add to it a bright green pine trees growing everywhere.)
One of the main attractions of Bryce – 26-foot arch, called the "Natural Bridge". Each new landscape that opens to your eyes, is unique, the beauty is replaced by beauty, and it seems that this process is endless …
Bryce Canyon is not just another banal landmark of America. It's actually one of the few places on our planet. It is said that here the human mind processing visual information, comes to some less-more logical explanations with great difficulty.

After trying the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, the brand has got a place in my favourites list. Now lets talk about their newly launched only 1 lipstick !
The only 1 lipstick claims to have a perfect balance of high impact colour, moisture, all day comfort and staying power. Intense, high-impact shades. Enjoy an ultra-comfortable, weightless feel and indulge lips in luscious moisture.
The Lipstick comes stylish black packaging, has a twisted design and a little tight fitted cap. The glossy black pack is ringed with a colour band that's matched to each lipstick shade, it would be easier to find shades in our lipstick jungle.
The bullet is not like other lipsticks, it is flat and slanted. The Shades i have, 610 Cheeky Coral and 810 one-of-a-kind. A bright beautiful coral and deep plum shades.
The lipstick is highly pigmented which allows for full coverage in one easy stroke. It has a noticeable scent which is slightly strong for me. It doesn't have a matt finish or glossy, it has a satin finish. The texture is smooth and have a light feel. It was not very drying, the Vitamin E and Rosa fruit oil leaves lips feeling moisturised. It doesn't fade overtime, It stayed on the lips for like 4 to 5 hours but transfer in to cups while drinking something.
The factor which impressed me much is their pigmentation, I can't wait to get my hands on other shades too. It costs 47AED.

The NHS needs to effectively manage its common resources more money and greater efficiency won't be enough.
Is the NHS delivering enough things right?
Misuse occurs in the NHS when health services are poorly delivered. So how big is the problem of preventable harm in health care?
This project aims to increase our understanding of the workload in general practice and why GPs report feeling under so much pressure, and to make recommendations about what might be done.
Is the NHS delivering enough of the right things?
Underuse happens when effective care isn't delivered when it's needed and it can lead to people needing more complex care as their conditions get worse. So, where might the NHS not be delivering enough of the right things?
Many of the new government's first actions respond to the increasing financial pressures facing the NHS.
Is the NHS delivering too much of the wrong things?
More health care is not always better health care. Sometimes the NHS delivers services that people don't want or need: the problem of overuse.
How much has generic prescribing and dispensing saved the NHS?
The rising trend in cheaper generic medicines rather than proprietary or branded drugs being prescribed and dispensed has saved the NHS billions of pounds and enabled millions more prescriptions to be dispensed.
The rising proportion of operations carried out as day cases over the past few decades has been good for patients and a much more efficient use of NHS resources, says John Appleby.
More than 60 per cent of NHS trust finance directors think controls on agency spending announced in June will not significantly reduce the amount spent on agency staff, according to our July quarterly monitoring report.
Faced with the challenge of finding productivity improvements of £22 billion, the NHS needs to focus on improving value for every pound that it spends. This page is a summary of the full report.
The NHS faces three major challenges in 2015: preparing for the spending review, achieving much closer integration of health and social care, and ensuring that the NHS has the leadership in place to deliver the highest possible standards of care within available resources.
It's hard to disagree with the principle that both costs and effects of treatments need to be weighed in order to make decisions about improving value for money and productivity. For a majority of the public however, this is not a principle they hold.


Raccoons Rags: My Penn boy arrives. Say hello to Nathan.
Okay, so I've already undressed and re-dressed him, I quite like a tee-shirt under a suit, although I concede that a different colour might look better. He's quite a handsome sculpt, I think. It's not entirely dissimilar to Phineas, but different enough.
The first thing that struck me is how minimal the face-up is compared to my Phin boys when they arrived. No shading around the eyes at all.
I'm sorry - but I'm going to have to enhance him.
But overall I like him.
Penn will be re-wigged, and I'll enhance his face-up, carefully, because I'm not the most skilled person in the universe with a paintbrush, not even close second. He's already got half a new outfit made. I'm working on a coat, and I've finished the waistcoat and leotard. Then pants. He will need pants.
I already have a name picked out for him too. Nathan. Of which I'm quite fond.
Righty. Off to sew now.

ISIS school in Afghanistan indoctrinates children with guns and grenades
The Islamic State (ISIS) group has arrived in Afghanistan and is planning to replace the Taliban as the major belligerent force opposing the government in Kabul. That's their simple message, but, of course, the reality is far more complex.
The precursor group to ISIS, comprised mainly of disaffected Pakistani Taliban, first began making inroads into Afghanistan in 2014, announcing their arrival with the hanging of a dozen Taliban commanders in Nuristan Province.
But even before that, ISIS fighters had been travelling from Syria and Iraq to training camps just over the Pakistani border - something the Pakistani intelligence services, the ISI, would have been fully aware of and, more than likely, acquiesced to.
Today, ISIS has a presence in at least seven Afghan provinces, most strongly in eastern Kunar Province. Their aim is to reconstruct a historical province known as Khorasan and to incorporate it into the newest caliphate.
A vast territory extending across north central and eastern Iran, southern Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and spreading southwards across Afghanistan, Khorasan was an important region in early Islam. Some Arab geographers have even suggested that its reach went as far as the modern borders with India. But then, ISIS' stated ambitions have always been rather grand.
Professionally filmed and edited beheadings, hangings and massacres are the group's brand logo. In one example, from spring 2015, they force a group of 10 elders, who had previously accommodated the Taliban in their districts and villages, to kneel on landmines. They are blown up, their torsos scattered across a wide expanse.
It's genuinely horrendous, but what's particularly unpleasant about this stunt (for that is what it is) is the fact that it is filmed with three separate cameras and then skilfully edited to music as the gore reaches its crescendo.
Establishing Khorasan will require conquering territory in at least five modern states - an enormously appealing concept to many of the most extreme elements from those countries, who have grown frustrated with the limited ambitions of their own groups.
And that brings us to perhaps the greatest difference between the Taliban and ISIL: The Taliban's professed aims begin and end within the boundaries of Afghanistan.
"But ISIS is saying: 'We will attack America, we will attack everywhere. We want one Islamic country and that means the Islamic Caliphate."
To achieve their goal of an Islamic Caliphate in Afghanistan, ISIS targets very young children to shape them into 'Caliphate Cubs'. While the Taliban insist that young boys and girls spend years learning the Quran by heart, ISIS adopts a more direct and deliberate form of indoctrination - one involving guns and grenades.
Clearly determined to capture young minds from the outset, children as young as five are given practical lessons in how to fire pistols and sub-machine guns and how to throw grenades.
As their fighter-teacher explains in the video: "Islamic law tells us to give children all essential skills. We teach them, and we give them military training so they are prepared in mind and body so they are set on the right path and each generation will learn and teach in turn."

Water is so critical to life at the lake that we thought you would be interested in the steps taken to track the health of our water. Aileen Rapson, our Environment Chair, monitors the water quality of Wood Lake from May to November and provides information to the Dorset Environment Centre. The results are reported by the District of Muskoka once a year, usually around April. Click here to see the 2013 data sheet.
Phosphorus helps plants in the lake grow, but having too much of it leads to excessive plant growth and a depletion of oxygen levels the fish need to thrive.
A water sample is taken in May to detect phosphorus levels. The sample is taken in May because this is when the lake water will be the most representative of the phosphorus levels from the spring turn over.
A Secchi disk is a round plate that's painted black and white. The disk is attached to a rope. The rope is lowered into the lake until it's at a depth where it can no longer be seen. This is called the 'Secchi depth'. It helps to measures the clarity of the water and the general health of the lake.
Clear water lets light penetrate more deeply into the lake than murky water. Sunlight is needed for the growth of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is the basic food source in a lake. It needs sunlight, phosphorus and nitrogen to grow.
The Muskoka Water website provides an explanation of the factors monitored to assess water quality.

Mattress Guy ensures sound sleep
By Brian Shane;
WEST OCEAN CITY – Sy Longberg knows a lot about final resting places.
He used to work at a graveyard in Baltimore, where he helped families locate their loved ones' headstones.
Your mattress is also a graveyard, Longberg said — for dust mites. He said when they were affecting his wife's health, he wanted to do something about it. Marion Longberg, 76, has long suffered from allergies and was on medication for it.
"One night, I said to her," Sy said, "let's look online for something. Maybe there's something we can do that doesn't involved chemicals. Next thing I know, we're looking at dust mites."
Now, Longberg has decided, with his wife's help, to start a new business late in life: mattress cleaning. They think of it as a health issue, and hope what worked for them also may work for others with allergy or sleep problems.
"I kept researching," he added, "and I said, you know something? I'm 80 years old, I've never been in business for myself. (My wife) is a senior, too. So I put the equipment together, and I started doing it for myself. I hope I'm a success story."
Today, Sy Longberg calls himself The Mattress Guy. He has concluded that there are tens of thousands of mattresses in the area, "and I can only do one at a time." He will be focusing on residential clients, and not hotels.
Sy makes the house calls. He charges on a sliding scale that starts at $50 per mattress. He cleans stuffed animals for free. Marion stays home and does the paperwork.
They behave around each other like a couple with 50 years together, but they're not. They could still be considered newlyweds.
Both already were widowed when they met at their synagogue nearly a decade ago.
"I just walked up to her one day after service, and said, would you like to go out to dinner with me?" Sy recalled.
"I said, oh my God, I have a date," Marion said. "And I haven't had a date in 44 years. My grandson said to me, now Nana, remember, if things don't go well, you call me."
They dated for about six years before getting married in 2010.
Marion has worked in real estate since coming to Ocean City 12 years ago. Sy has a career background in catering, and later in sales. He's also worked at a graveyard in the Baltimore area. In retirement, Sy has also been a reserve police officer in Ocean City for the last 13 years, where he mans the front desk.
Today, they make their home in Mystic Harbor, where they got their business off the ground. Since cleaning their own mattress, Marion says she doesn't need her rescue inhaler, and her perpetually itchy scalp has subsided.
"I haven't had a problem since. My asthma is almost gone. I don't snore so much, and I don't cough," she said.
Here's how it works: Sy runs a high intensity ultraviolet lamp over the mattress, which kills the bugs. Then he uses a strong vacuum to remove the microscopic victims.
Afterwards, he'll remove the dust from the vacuum and test it for bugs, using a colored litmus strip and a drop of chemicals. The darker the strip, the more bugs the mattress had.
"What we do kills the babies, and it alters their DNA so they can't reproduce," Sy said.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dust mites are in almost every home, and can trigger an attack for people with asthma.
To prevent attacks, the CDC says to use mattress covers and pillowcase covers to make a barrier between dust mites and yourself. The CDC also says to avoid down-filled pillows and bedding, and to wash all your bedding in the hottest water possible.

In most developed countries the average life expectancy is constantly increasing. Discuss the positive and negative aspects of this trend.
Thanks to advancements in medical research and improved quality of living people are living longer. This is definitely a positive trend, but it has some negative aspects too.
Everyone wants to live longer. We are constantly searching for new ways to add a few more years to our life. Longer life expectancy is considered as a symbol of better life and prosperity. Generally speaking, people in the developed world have greater life expectancy than those in poor countries. This is not surprising, though. Rich people have access to better life care and hence they live longer.
When people live longer they get an opportunity to fulfill their wishes and obligations. They will be able to serve the society with their experience and wisdom. They will also be able to spend more years with their family. Cultures all over the world regard longevity as a blessing. After all, longevity is the pursuit of most people. When they people live longer they will be able to contribute to the society in many ways. They can guide the youth with their wisdom.
On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to living longer. Aged people may require care. If they have none to take care of them at home, they will have to go to an old age home. Families and governments have to spend a lot of money on providing healthcare and insurance to aged people. When people live longer, there will be an increase in the population of seniors. Since most of them are not capable of working or earning money, they can have an adverse impact on the economy. Also an increase in the population will result in the faster depletion of natural resources.
After analysing the situation, it is not hard to see that longevity is a fortune. It has some negative impacts on the economy and the environment. However, governments and communities can do many things to deal with this situation.

KAMELOT Putting The Finishing Touches On Songwriting For Next Album
November 23, 2014 August 23, 2014 by Reeder
Guitarist Thomas Youngblood and keyboardist Oliver Palotai of American / German / Swedish symphonic metallers KAMELOT are in the Stuttgart area of Germany this week "working on the final parts of the next KAMELOT album," according to Youngblood. He adds: "It's going great and we have lots of music and ideas in store."
KAMELOT's follow-up to 2012's "Silverthorn" is tentatively due next spring via an as-yet-undetermined record label.
Palotai sat out the band's North American tour last year so he could stay home with longtime girlfriend Simone Simons, (EPICA singer) as they awaited the birth of their first child. Filling in for him was Coen Janssen of EPICA.
"Silverthorn" sold 5,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 79 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Poetry For The Poisoned", opened with around 6,100 units in September 2010 to enter the chart at No. 74.
"Silverthorn" was released on October 30, 2012 in North America, October 26, 2012 in Germany and October 29, 2012 in the rest of Europe via Steamhammer/SPV. The CD marked the band's first release with Tommy Karevik, the Swedish vocalist who previously fronted SEVENTH WONDER (a group that he is still a member of).
In a 2012 interview with Loudwire, Thomas Youngblood stated about what Karevik brings to the band: "I think when we knew we had to bring in a new person on vocals, we wanted the opportunity to grow the band, not just to maintain the band or survive. We wanted to look at this as an opportunity to make the band bigger, [and] I think with Tommy we can do that. Not only is he an exceptional singer, he's a great songwriter and he's way ahead of what I thought he would be in terms of being a frontman. People who come out to shows will see that this guy is a force to be reckoned with. I can't imagine a better choice, honestly. In the beginning, when this whole thing started, we were a little unsure of what the future might be, but now we're really excited about it."

Brexit: EU needs 'persuasive' UK plan to grant extension
Coveney says time should be used on 'new plan of action' or 'new approach'
Patrick Smyth Brussels

The UK was on Tuesday put on notice by EU ministers and negotiators that the granting of more time for negotiations by its 27 partners would not be automatic.
They will need to bring to this week's summit a "persuasive" plan on how to break the political impasse they face, both Tánaiste Simon Coveney and EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier warned in Brussels.
"I don't think there's any appetite among EU leaders to simply kick this can down the road," the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs told journalists following a meeting of European Affairs ministers of the 27.
"I think that people would be very foolish to think that this is just some kind of political game and that an extension will automatically be facilitated," Mr Coveney said .
"I think that EU leaders will be demanding, and understandably so, and want to know, if there is an extension to article 50, that that time will be used to implement a new plan of action, potentially a new approach, that can help the British parliament to get beyond the impasse that is currently preventing agreement." Mr Coveney said.
Mr Coveney had bilateral meetings with Mr Barnier, the European Parliament's Brexit chief, Guy Verhofstadt, and the British cabinet office secretary – in effect deputy prime minister – David Lidington.
Mr Barnier said there was a price to pay for an extension and leaders would have to be convinced granting one would be productive. "What would be its purpose? And how do we make sure we do not end up in the same position as today?"
Radical approach
An extension, he said, would be a "prolongation of uncertainty" and said that the same criteria would be used to assess the case for a short or long extension.
Hinting that the UK government would have to be radical in its approach, he warned that its justification for "an extension must be linked to a new event or new political process", an implication that Mrs May should go as far as committing to a general election or second poll. Or, as Mr Coveney also suggested, an "ambitious" willingness to amend the political declaration to make it more acceptable to a majority in the House of Commons – in other words, moving to a softer Brexit.
"There is a lot of concern among member states about the prospect of a long extension," Mr Coveney said.
"An extension brings risks with it through a European election cycle, the establishment of a new commission, and the EU is dealing with a lot of things at the moment, so the disrutive effect of Brexit for another nine months ... is something that people will need convincing on," he added.
"If there's going to be a request for a long extension of article 50 by the UK, well then there will need to be a very persuasive plan to go with that to explain why that's needed and how they will use the time to conclude the outstanding issues that haven't been able to be agreed in London in the context of the Brexit process."

There's no better way to capture the experience of a trip than with photography. The process of shooting helps the traveler come more in touch with the destination and overall situation. The photos will also help to keep the memory of the travels alive. Finding the best camera for this sort of photography can be tricky. Here are some things to look for when purchasing a travel camera.
Every traveler is trying to reduce how much stuff they carry. Too much luggage can slow one down and detract from the enjoyment of a trip. When purchasing a travel camera, it is recommendable to find one that is compact. A compact camera isn't the same as a small camera. Instead, a compact camera is one that meets the perfect ratio of size and functionality. A camera that can pack a lot of different features into a small package is the best for travel.
Battery life is another important feature to consider when looking for the best travel camera. It is very frustrating to have a camera die when shooting photographs on a long trip. With no outlets readily available other than in the hotel room, travelers are stuck with using their phones for photography. Instead of investing more money on a second camera batter, it's much better to find a camera with a longer battery life.
No traveler wants to pack more weight than they have too. Beyond paying more for overweight bags at the airport, this extra weight can cause back pain. Overall, the extra weight makes traveling a hassle. Larger cameras can easily weight up to four or five pounds. Instead of having to lug these giant models around, travelers may want to consider cameras that weigh less. Mirrorless cameras provide the quality of a DSLR while still reducing the weight, making them a great travel camera.
Another thing to consider when choosing a travel camera is versatility. Point and shoot cameras typically don't have the capabilities that mirrorless or DSLR's have. For example, long-distance exposures, zoom capability, and weather resistance are all factors that should be considered. Some cameras even can shoot underwater. Travelers should try to choose a camera that can handle the style of photography that they prefer.

How General Motors spent $600M to save 300 Michigan jobs
Updated Aug 4, 2017 ; Posted Aug 4, 2017
A look inside of General Motors' Flint Assembly paint shop
Gallery: A look inside of General Motors' Flint Assembly paint shop
By Paula Gardner | PaulaGardner@mlive.com
Automotive production is tied to Michigan, but how and where that happens - and how many people do it -never stays the same. Production moves to China; it returns from Mexico. And sometimes Indiana wants it, or southern states.
Yet on the south side of Flint, adjacent to I-75 and visible to all motorists bridging mid-Michigan in their travels north or south, stands one constant for the state: This is where General Motors builds vehicles.
GM's Flint Assembly complex dominates the east side of the highway between the Bristol Road exit and I-69. It's a sprawling, set of buildings now responsible for building the Chevrolet Silverado, the automaker's most popular vehicle, and employing thousands of Michigan residents.
Since 2009, GM has invested $2.8 billion into the complex, showing Michigan what retaining jobs in manufacturing looks like.
The most recently completed portion of the plant is the new paint shop, where $600 million created 1.6 million square feet of work space over four levels. It's the place where stamped sheets of metal ride in on conveyor belts, then emerge as recognizable - and colorful - truck bodies, ready for assembly into vehicles that start at about $30,000 each and go up to $60,000-plus.
The paint shop upgrades made a difference for Flint, preserving jobs of nearly 300 at a time when the city's unemployment stayed at least 3 percentage points higher than the state's.
It's also a good time for GM to make trucks, as consumers cement their affection for large vehicles and turn from cars. While some of the state's GM factories are trimming shifts to one, this plant is running three shifts, painting Silverado and GMC Sierra bodies six or seven days a week, around the clock.
"The company obviously saw it as a key investment area for us," said spokeswoman Liz Trudeau, noting the relationship with workers and unions in Flint.
She continued: "We work for the investment here (in Flint)."
So far, upgrades also have reached the stamping plant and assembly, with the paint shop opening in fall 2016. The $900 million new body shop is in progress, and will be up and running in 2019. The campus also includes an engine plant, while a few miles northeast sits GM's last tool and die shop.
"The paint shop was one of the first phases into bringing Flint Assembly up to standard," said Trudeau. "It's one of the most state-of-the-art facilities."
That's a feat for a complex built in 1947, "one of our oldest plants in the company," Trudeau said.
Industrial construction of this size takes time; so does the integration of production process and equipment, which increasingly involves technology and automation.
That's true at the Flint paint facility, where a look at job descriptions and duties shows that no human is involved in painting vehicles, thanks to robots and sensors.
GM's new Flint paint shop inches closer to completion
The project is on target to paint its first vehicle by February, according to Paul Krupp, resident engineer for both paint shops at GM's Flint Assembly Plant.
But no robots are involved in quality control for the 265 trucks that pass through each shift, from the corrosion inhibitor dip to the final paint touches. Finding flaws is, today, solely left to human hands in white gloves, which will make small repairs or send a body off for a bigger fix.
Employees have as many as 40 years in the company, and many transferred from other GM plants north of Detroit as factory work contracted in the past decade.
Not long ago, many had to wonder how long they would hold their jobs at GM, which went through bankruptcy during the Great Recession. More recently, these surviving employees have had the chance to weigh in on the factory design and operation. They also are learning how to work with the technology that's evident everywhere in the paint plant.
"You do have to keep learning," said Henry David Sr. of Mt Morris, who previously worked at five other GM factories that closed. "It used to be just paint."
"All of the changes are for the better," said Tony Craft of Birch Run, a 20-year employee who no longer feels vulnerable as an auto worker in a changing landscape. He's now one of the workers trained to make specialty repairs in four bays to which the more difficult fixes are moved.
The investment in this GM campus in Flint also is significant to the community. GM's tenure in the city changed over time from the dominant employer to one that contracted dramatically - leaving, for example, the vacant former Buick City to be cleaned up and sold following the automaker's bankruptcy. Much of that 400-acre property, northeast of downtown, is still available and the jobs haven't been recovered.
Yet while Flint joins Genesee County in trying to transform its economic base from automotive to other sectors, the fact that GM remains in the city and is actively upgrading its facilities benefits the city, said Tim Herman, CEO of the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce.
"It's a huge investment, and what it does is bring stability in our community," Herman said.
The job retention is a part of it; so is the relationship with GM, which remains invested in the community where GM founder William Durant started the company.
"They are a huge, huge part of our economy still," Herman said. "We still have almost 8,000 GM jobs in this community, and that's a lot of jobs."
The ripple effect of that is obvious near the factory complex, which also includes a plant that produces engines for smaller vehicles. GM's full product line also is represented at the stamping plant, which forms steel for more than the trucks heading to Flint's assembly line.
The paint plant's entrance is on Van Slyke Road, just north of Bristol. One side of the road is dominated by GM. The other has a mix of businesses, set back from the road, many of which speak to the factory town and its changes over years.
The road is home to the Blue Collar Market party store, UAW offices, credit unions and a collection agency. On a recent weekday mid-morning bus stop, a group alighted then crossed the road, one heading to work at McDonald's, while three others headed to the plasma donor center next door.
On the southeast corner of Van Slyke and Briston sits Capital Coney Island, which has witnessed the waves of changes at GM over decades. It went through its own upgrade in 2013.
"We depend on customers coming from over there," said Denise Palmer, a waitress at Capitol for 33 years, as she gestured toward the GM campus.
Over time, she's seen regulars stop coming in as they left the plants or as jobs were eliminated.
The investment in the facilities is something that Palmer can describe in one word: "Biggie."
"It's a big deal," she continues. "Several restaurants closed down. Everyone closed but here."
According to General Motors, payroll at the paint plant, assembly plant and stamping plant totals $511 million per year. That payroll accounts for $105 million in income taxes, according to estimates. And with just more than 5,323 employees, that makes the average pay about $95,000 per year.
GM sought overall tax credits from the state as part of its plan to invest $1 billion investment in Michigan through 2029; the state amended that in 2015, when it said the automaker was on track with that level of investment. Originally, the paint was a part of it, as was a tax credit was authorized by the city, though details were not available. City records show at least $1.3 million paid annually in property taxes.
Meanwhile, the Silverado is the second best-selling vehicle in the U.S. , with 262,940 produced through the end of June.
While it's General Motors' top-selling vehicle, behind the Ford F-150, those figures represent a 4-percent decline over 2016, part of the forecast sales drop this year as record levels taper off.
Yet buyers still turn to the vehicle, and employees in Flint's paint shop are still proud of the J.D. Power quality awards earned by both the light- and heavy-duty versions of the Silverado in 2016. They say it shows how both labor and the company benefit from the upgrades in the plant.
"I'm glad GM invested in us here," Craft said. "I think the awards show what we're achieving. (Staying in Flint) was a win-win for both sides."
Trudeau agrees: "This shows that GM is committed to the city of Flint and is seeing Flint as a viable place to do business."

Q: Join two tables on date I have two tables that I need to join and need to get the data that I can use to plot.
Sample data for two tables are:
**table1**

month       planned_hours
2019-10-01  24
2020-01-01  67
2019-02-01  12

**table2**
date         hrs_consumed
2019-12-07   7
2019-09-09   3
2019-10-12   4
2019-02-01   5
2019-10-11   4

I have tried following query:
SELECT
  a.date as month1,
  a.hrs as planned_hours,
  a.mon_hrs as actual_hours
FROM (
  SELECT
    sum(t1.hrs_consumed) as hrs,
    t1.date,
    t2.mon_hrs
  FROM booking t1
  LEFT JOIN monthly_plan t2
  ON month(t1.date) = month(t2.mon)
  UNION
  SELECT
    t2.mon_hrs,
    t2.mon as date,
    sum(t1.hrs_consumed) as hrs
  FROM booking t1
  RIGHT JOIN monthly_plan t2
  ON month(t1.date) = month(t2.mon)) a

I got following output from the query:
month1      planned_hrs  actual_hrs
2019-10-01  24           8
2019-10-01  24           8

Output that I want to get is:
month1   planned_hrs   actual_hrs
10-2019  24            8
12-2019  0             7
08-2019  0             3
01-2020  67            0
02-2019  12            5

A: You can join the distinct months to the tables and aggregate:
SELECT
  t.month,
  COALESCE(MAX(t1.planned_hours), 0) planned_hours,
  COALESCE(SUM(hrs_consumed), 0) actual_hrs
FROM (
  SELECT DATE_FORMAT(month, "%m-%Y") month FROM table1
  UNION
  SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date, "%m-%Y") FROM table2
) t
LEFT JOIN table1 t1 ON t.month = DATE_FORMAT(t1.month, "%m-%Y")
LEFT JOIN table2 t2 ON t.month = DATE_FORMAT(t2.date, "%m-%Y")
GROUP BY t.month

See the demo.
Results:
| month   | planned_hours | actual_hrs |
| ------- | ------------- | ---------- |
| 01-2020 | 67            | 0          |
| 02-2019 | 12            | 5          |
| 09-2019 | 0             | 3          |
| 10-2019 | 24            | 8          |
| 12-2019 | 0             | 7          |

Kings Goaltending
Strong World Cup Can Elevate Quick and Kings
By Mitch Michals September 16th, 2016
International sports tournaments are always fun. As ESPN's John Buccigross noted, they can produce positive emotions from the players, coaches, and supporters of good athletic competition. The World Cup of Hockey is hours away from its lift off, giving puck enthusiasts like myself an opportunity to see competitive hockey infused with national pride. It's not the beginning of the NHL (that comes next month), but don't think that there won't be serious repercussions towards that very season.
(Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports)
Look no further than American netminder Jonathan Quick. The supremely talented goalie has been named the starter for the red white and blue, beating out proven commodities Ben Bishop and Corey Schneider for the top spot in between the pipes. This move surprised very few, considering Quick's track record internationally and his ability to rise to the moment.
But there has been something missing statistically during long portions of his NHL seasons. Quick's numbers, though stellar, are not as spectacular as one would expect from a goalie with his talents and reputation. Last season, Quick was fourth in goals-against average, but his .918 save percentage was just middle of the road for full-time starting netminders. Those, however, are just numbers, and don't get #32 started on judging one's accord exclusively on numbers. The fact that Bishop and Schneider were both top five in save percentage and numbers one and two respectively in goals against (2.06 and 2.07) does not make them more or less talented than Quick. It simply proves they each had a more successful NHL regular season.
I know that Jonathan Quick and every red-blooded American hockey player wants to take the trophy at the World Cup. But for Quick and his Los Angeles Kings brethren, a successful showing could do more than win one highly competitive tournament. The L.A. goaltender can ready himself and his team for a great 2016-17 season, from the moment the first puck drops in October. And that's something that's been sorely missed in recent years.
Primetime International Goalie

Barring a catastrophe or Ron Hextall-like meltdown, Quick was always going to be the man in the net for the stars and stripes. He's at the peak of his powers (30 years old), has won multiple championships, and knows how to make the subtle adjustments necessary at this level. His passion and desire to fight for every save may be what head coach John Tortorella, an equally passionate leader, factored in most seriously to this decision.
Goalies are a distinct kind of breed, wired differently from other hockey players. They are often by themselves while the game is going on, and then suddenly a sniper is trying to bury one right next to their ear. It's calm one moment, and then a category five hurricane the next. This only intensifies in high-pressure environments, and some netminders are unable to raise their game to handle the surrounding storms.
Quick is not one of "those" goalies. He won't back down. He doesn't care how good your shot is, or how big the forward trying to knock him around his crease is. That's his net, and he plays like he damn well owns every bit of it. This isn't to say that Bishop and Schneider don't have similar capabilities; they just haven't proven it on the biggest of stages like Quickie has yet.
When Canada defeated the U.S. 1-0 in the 2014 Olympic semifinals, Quick was the one who kept the Americans in it with 36 saves. During L.A.'s two treks to a Stanley Cup, Quick was a (perhaps "the") major difference maker. Using his leg strength, his cat-like reflexes, and the instincts of a puck stopping-octopus, Quick has all the tools to make a serious case for being the best goalie in the world. And he is just that, sometimes.
Sluggish Starts of the Past
(Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports)
If you wanted to pinpoint weak stretches in Quick's career, I don't think a phone call to the Hardy boys would be necessary. Nearly all of his NHL struggles have taken place at the beginning of the regular season. Now, there are often different sets of mitigating circumstances to take into account. There have been injuries, brutal scheduling runs, and instances when his defensive core has been an utter trainwreck undermanned. It's hockey, and those things happen.
However, anybody that watched Quick shine in the Stanley Cup or excel for Team USA understands what his threshold for excellence is. And in many of those early season setbacks, Quick was not playing at his highest level. His concentration was good yet not great, his agility was fluid but not unmatched, and his efficiency as a goaltender was at times, mediocre. Three years ago, Quick made an unthinkable gaffe against the Rangers:
And just last season, Quick started slow off the blocks against the Coyotes, failing to track the puck on this notable goal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKhnvPg7em0
You get the idea. W
When Quick and the rest of the Kings show up flat-footed to start the year, it sets them back in the standings. From there, they embark on this crazy game of catch-up all season long. L.A. has the talent, drive, and heart to claw back into the playoff picture, but at what cost? The last two years, in particular, they have been completely gassed come springtime. A rejuvenated, razor-sharp #32 can help eliminate a stagnant start, and alleviate the pressure on the rest of the locker room.
Un-matchable When Locked In
Whether Quick's slow starts is the result of rust, lapses in focus, or health related, they never last long. That's because this goalie is the NHL's equivalent to Wolverine from the X-Men lore. Quick can seemingly regenerate, get back to being upright, and proceed to dominate NHL goalies. Perhaps no goalie alive can match L.A.'s top netminder when he's at his apex. His movement is almost too precise as if he has telepathic powers and knows where the puck is going before it actually gets there. And should he be out of position, or left helpless against an odd man scoring chance, Quick can make saves like this:
Now imagine if the Kings had this type of performance to begin their season? It's understandable that goaltenders are not able to sustain a high level of play in every outing (Quick included), but a good start will actually help him gear up for the playoffs. Should the Kings build a sufficient playoff or even Pacific division buffer zone by March, Quick could then take a few nights off while his backup (the newly signed Jeff Zatkoff) gets a few starting nods. The beauty of the World Cup of Hockey is that there is no easing into it, so every participating player will be at a high level much earlier than they are accustomed too. Quick, out of necessity and habit, should be ready to roll on opening night, with virtually no rust to wear off.
The World Cup of Hockey is bigger than any one player, and should be taken in wholehearted by fans of the sport. If there's one thing that brings out the best in athletes, it's competition. The better the environment, the higher the level of play will be. Jonathan Quick embodies this philosophy as much as anybody, and will no doubt be amped up to represent his country. Once the tournament concludes, he's an L.A. King again. And that team would love to have the best goaltending America can produce, from day one.

"Mine is out there too, Mama," Robert replied.
My older brother, Raymond, and I used to see that the switch was partly severed along its length so it would break easily.
In 1895, we lived in the little country village of Peppertown, Pennsylvania. Doctor George Jolly, our Papa, had his office in the home. Mama had to keep the house, take care of us four children, be the office girl when Papa would be out on his house calls, and also administer any punishment required.
Mama had her problems with me. One day she said, "Louise, where have you been?"
"When I get her to sleep may I go?"
"We'll see when the time comes."
The baby, Pauline, was five years younger than me and weighed six pounds at birth. She only gained four pounds her first year. Because her weight was only ten pounds, I was not allowed to hold her for fear I would drop her.
Mama would put her into the baby buggy. I would lie on the floor, roll the buggy over me, then, with a strap which was fastened to the bottom of the buggy, I would jog her up and down. This motion was supposed to put her to sleep. After what I considered a sufficient amount of time, I would crawl out from under the buggy, and peek at her, only to be met with two big blue eyes smiling at me.
I thought it was the spit on the postage stamp that made it stick to the envelope so I took my spit and rubbed it on the underside of her upper eyelid, and then pressed it down tight. After doing this to each eye, I would say, "Mama, Pauline's eyes are shut. May I go now?"
"I guess so," said Mama.
I would hurry out before Mama discovered that the baby was not really asleep.
The pear tree switch, which was kept behind the kitchen mirror, was frequently used to keep us in line until we were old enough to discipline ourselves.
One time when Mama had to punish Robert, my younger brother, she used the switch rather vigorously.
That night she said, "Doctor, (Mama always called Papa "Doctor." Never did she call him George.) I wonder if God is punishing me?"
"Well, just the same, I wish you would take over the punishment of the children for a while. I just can't whip him again; no, not for a long time.
That was the reason I had to go to bed at seven o'clock every night for a whole month. I sometimes think I spent most of my childhood in bed because I was always in some kind of trouble.
Going to bed was not such a bad punishment. My bedroom was over the office. There was a register in the floor so the heat from the stove in the office could come up and partly warm the bedroom. I would not be sleepy, so I would lie on the floor with my eyes glued to the register hole and listen to all that went on in Papa's office. I received quite an education in the practice of medicine and all the symptoms and ailments of the various patients.
One night, Mr. O'Hara came into the office to pay his bill. Papa always had Mama make out his bills and, since there was no drug store in town, Papa had to carry his own medicines.
Mama would itemize the bill giving the cost of the medicine, then the cost of the visits, and then state the total amount due.
"But what about the cost of the visits?"
I am sure Papa never was paid the balance of that bill.
Papa's charge for doctor visits in the office or anywhere in town was 50¢, but when he had to drive his horse and buggy out into the country, he charged according to the distance he had to go.
He would deliver babies for $5.00 each, but if he had to use instruments in the delivery his charge would be $10.00. I have heard some people argue with him saying that he did not have to use instruments, but did so just to get $5.00 more. One farmer was mad because the charge was $10.00 so he charged Papa $1.00 for the breakfast he ate at the farm after spending the night waiting for the delivery of the baby.
"Well, if I have to open my clothes for you to hear my breathing, I would rather die than be that immodest!" exclaimed Miss Simpson.
As she left, Mama came into the office to see if Papa had to make any night calls.
"Sadie, you know Susie Simpson, that prissy old maid?"
"Oh yes, she goes to our church."
"I think she needs more than religion. She wouldn't open her shirtwaist and let me listen to her breathing. I suspect pneumonia, so I sent her home to go to bed. I will go out there in the morning, and certainly, with only a nightgown on, I will be able to open it to get my stethoscope next to her chest."
"Why do you think she was so uncooperative?" asked Mama.
By this time, I was tired, so I went back to bed.

Q: Laravel session data is lost after click class FileController extends Controller

    }
}

I have the following code. There is a link on login that goes to the FileControllers@user . On the second page my session data is lost (Session::all() is empty). What could be causing this issue?

A: Try wrapping your routes (inside app/Http/routes.php) in a Route::group() with the web middleware:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
    // My Routes
});

An easy way to test this:
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::get('', function () {
        Session::set('test', 'testing');
    });

    Route::get('other', function () {
        dd(Session::get('test'));
    });
});

If you remove the web middleware, you'll receive null since the web middleware is responsible for starting the session.
Ensure you have the web middleware group inside your app/Http/Kernel.php:
protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
    ],
