NITC has been the leader in the qualifying of medical gas installers for brazing since the early 1990's. From the start NITC had a single practical test for brazing which became the industry standard for the qualification of ASSE 6010 Installers.
As the requirements for Brazing of Medical Gas and Vacuum System piping have evolved over the years, NITC has found it necessary to implement some important changes that (1) reflect the most up-to-date industry practices and (2) ensure compliance with the changes to the codes and standards.
NITC has recently qualified additional Practical Braze Tests to cover the full range of copper tube sizes used for the installation of Medical Gas Systems as required by the latest editions of the NFPA 99 Healthcare Facilities Code and ASME Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
The additional NITC Medical Gas Braze Tests listed within the table below may be used for the Performance Qualification Testing of Medical Gas Brazers.
To qualify for the ASSE 6010 Medical Gas Certification, the candidate must achieve a passing score on the NITC 6010 Medical Gas Installer written exam and successfully pass the practical brazing component; following the instructions within the NITC BTS15 Braze Test Specification.
Additional NITC Braze Tests may be qualified during the same braze session, however, the ASSE 6010 Medical Gas Installer/Brazer Certification may not be awarded until the written and BTS15 practical exams have been successfully accomplished.
Continuity of initial and additional braze qualifications are maintained by Continuity Form for Brazer. Braze qualifications remain in effect indefinitely; however, a lapse in continuity will require re-qualification of each previously held credential.
For additional information on NITC Medical Gas Brazing, please contact an NITC Representative by calling 888-234-6834 or by email at brazing@nationalitc.com.

Better Mental Health Support For Victorian Workers
Victorian workers who suffers a work-related mental health injury will soon be able to access early treatment and support, thanks to new legislation introduced into Parliament this week.
The Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Amendment (Provisional Payments) Bill 2020 delivers on a key election commitment from the Andrews Labor Government – ensuring no worker has to wait to get urgent care.
Under the new laws, Victorian workers who seek compensation for a mental health injury under WorkCover will receive payments to cover reasonable medical expenses while they await the outcome of their claim.
The scheme is an expansion of the Government's successful pilot providing provisional payments to emergency services workers and volunteers.
Eligible volunteers – including Emergency Management Victoria volunteers, volunteer school workers and jurors – will be covered by the scheme, recognising their unique contribution to the community through their vital work.
Mental injury claims have grown significantly in recent years and are expected to account for a third of all workers' compensation claims by 2030.
The nature of these claims can be more complex and take longer to determine than physical injury claims. Before this reform, workers could wait up to five weeks before receiving payments to access treatment or support – with some struck with stressful out of pocket costs.
By covering costs such as GP visits, psychiatrist or psychologist appointments and medication, the provisional payments scheme removes financial barriers that delay workers getting the care they deserve.
Workers whose claims are rejected will continue to receive access to payments for up to 13 weeks from the date they submitted their claim. This measure gives certainty of immediate support whether a claim is accepted or not, encouraging workers to make a claim and seek the treatment they need.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Workplace Safety Ingrid Stitt
"These landmark reforms will ensure that Victorian workers gets the urgent support they deserve – and can get better and return to work as soon as they can."
"With more and more workers seeking help for mental health injuries, it's vital that we remove barriers that prevent people from accessing care and support as soon as they need it."
Quote attributable to Minister for Mental Health James Merlino
"No one should have to suffer in silence. These changes will encourage workers to put their hand up for help when they're struggling, knowing that they'll be given support and access to treatment right away."
Quote attributable to Minister for Police and Emergency Services Lisa Neville
"We've seen how valuable the provisional payments scheme has been for our emergency services workers and volunteers – now all Victorian workers will benefit from these important changes."

Q: gsutil config -a. Which key to use? There are so many keys to be created for use with Google Compute Cloud.
I'm trying to create .boto  file using gsutil and it's asking for "Google access key ID". My goal is to script access to "Google Cloud Storage" using Python.
So, when gsutil is asking for "Google access key ID" - is it the one from

*

*Credentials->Service account keys?
or

*Credentials->OAuth 2.0 client IDs?
or

*Credentials->API keys?

A: Use service account to solve this problem.
gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file json_file

A: gsutil config -a lets you use HMAC-style access keys. These aren't service account keys; if you want to use a service account you should use gsutil config -e. But if you really did want to use HMAC keys, you can get them from https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/settings, then click on "Interoperability". From there you can create an access key if you don't already have one, and you can copy/paste the access key and secret that you need to enter with gsutil config -a.

A: It's second option

*

*Credentials->OAuth 2.0 client IDs

For Cloud Storage API  access I have to use OAuth2 because I access user data.
If I had to access Translate API I'd use API Key because no user data access required.

I've kinda turned over a new leaf – pardon the pun. I'm reluctant to say it so soon but along with my sister, we are whole-fooding it. Like, no sugar, no dairy, no processed foods, for real, healthy eating – as much as we possibly can.
I'm not saying I'm not going to indulge in In-n-Out burger or a cupcake occasionally but I'm really wanting to give this thing a go. I have to say that by just making some simple changes, I can already feel a difference.
Don't worry, I'm still going to be cooking yummy things for the blog but I may have to slip in a healthy dish once and a while. Wish me luck!
That brings me to kale. I actually really love it. It's so, so good for you. That got me thinking about kale chips, I mean, come on – we need to have a little fun with this.
I had some Lacinato kale or as I like to call it 'legit kale', that I was supposed to juice but somehow Kale chips just seemed so much more fun.
Lacinato Kale is a Tuscan kale or sometimes it's called Dinosaur Kale or Black Kale, hence why I named it legit kale, it's the real deal. It kinda does look like what I imagine Dinosaur skin to look like. Appetizing? No – but as a chip? Absolutely!
Here it is in all of its Dino glory.
Cut the tough stems out from the leaves.
Then cut the leaves into bite sized pieces or chip sized pieces.
Season and bake for 10-15 minutes. These are just hot out of the oven.
Perfectly salty and perfectly crunchy. Like a real chip. I'm not kidding.
I hope you get a chance to make some of these kale chips soon – enjoy!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
With a sharp knife, cut out the majority of the thick stem from the kale leaves. Cut into bite sized pieces.
Wash leaves and thoroughly dry (a salad spinner is best). Add dry leaves to a bowl, drizzle with oil and spices. Mix to ensure all the leaves are coated.
Take the leaves and lay out on the baking sheet in a single layer and place in oven for 10 -15 minutes or until crispy.
Remove from sheet and serve.


Lucknow: The main accused in the murder of NIA officer Tanjil Ahmed has been arrested on Tuesday.
Munir, the main accused in Tanjil's murder was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) in Uttar Pradesh. A National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer, who had handled several cases related to the Indian Mujahideen (IM) including the arrest and probe against its India chief Yasin Bhatkal, was shot dead by unidentified men at Sahaspur in Bijnor district of western UP. Police said his body bore 22 bullet injuries.
The officer, Mohammad Tanzeel Ahmed (49), was returning from a family wedding along with his wife and two children when the attack took place.
An Assistant Commandant with the BSF on deputation to the NIA, Ahmed had proceeded on leave on April 1 after completing his job as the liaison officer for the five-member Pakistan Joint Investigation Team (JIT) that was in Delhi to probe the Pathankot attack, NIA sources said.
Shortly before 1 am, two men on a motorcycle stopped Ahmed's Wagon R car near the Sahaspur police post and opened fire. His wife too sustained serious injuries. She was shot four times. His teenaged son and daughter were on the rear seats.
NIA and UP police sources said a terror angle to the killing could not be ruled out.
NIA suspects that Ahmed's movements were being tracked by his assailants.
Inspector General (Bareilly Zone) Vijay Singh Meena told "Nothing can be ruled out. We are probing all angles, including professional rivalry." He said the UP police, ATS and STF were working with the NIA.
"Borders of the state have been sealed and checking is on in nearby villages," he said.
According to NIA sources, Ahmed had been with NIA since its inception in 2009. "Over the past six years, he was involved in every big case with the agency," an NIA officer said.
An "excellent intelligence hand", Ahmed first joined NIA's intelligence and operations and later shifted to its investigations. He was working in the Terror Funding and Fake Currency Cell.
"He had joined the cell a year ago and was very meticulous in his work. He never shied away from operations. He was working on cases related to FICN smuggling in Malda, West Bengal," an officer from the cell said.
According to sources, Ahmed had good command over Urdu and Persian. "He often generated credible human intelligence that led to successful operations," said an NIA officer who worked with him in cases related to the Indian Mujahideen. The officer said Ahmed was instrumental in the arrest of alleged IM operative Danish Riyaz.
"It was Ahmed who traced the mobile phone through which Yasin Bhatkal, then hiding in Nepal, spoke to his wife Zahida. The phone was bought by Yasin's then deputy, Tehsin Akhtar, from Rajasthan and given to Zahida. It was this phone that was tapped by intelligence agencies, revealing his location in Nepal," an NIA officer said.
Sources said Ahmed also played a role in busting an alleged ISIS module which led to the arrest of several suspects, including one from Welcome area in North East Delhi.
He was instrumental in arrests made in the Burdwan blast case of October 2014. "He engineered many surrenders in the case by motivating the accused through his contacts to cooperate with the agency," an officer said.
There is speculation within the agency about Ahmed being on the radar of IM. "About a year and half ago, I heard him talk of a threat he received, purportedly from the Indian Mujahideen. But I do not remember the details. It is common for NIA officers to receive threat letters," another NIA officer said.


Eating is an inevitable and vital part for everyday life. Even though foods provide energy that keeps the body moving, they do not all have the same effects on the body. Where some foods provide minerals and vitamins, other foods help pack on the pounds. When it comes to deciding what to put into one's body, there are many factors people should consider. However, there are also some foods that people are just better off avoiding.
Even though fish and shellfish are generally healthy food options, some kinds of seafood are better off staying in the water and off of people's plates. One particular kind of fish that people should avoid is the swordfish because it contains high levels of mercury. Mercury, particularly for pregnant women, can hinder normal development in children. For adults, the dangerous neurotoxin contributes to heart attack risk.
Organic produce is typically more expensive. Research has shown that some products are safer to consume if they are organic. One of these products is the strawberry. According to Robert Kenner, the director of Food Inc. and founder of FixFood.org, manufacturers spray pesticides on nonorganic strawberries. During this process, the people who handle the strawberries wear suits to protect themselves. According to Kenner, if people have to wear suits to care for nonorganic strawberries, maybe these fruits should not be consumed.
"The workers wear these suits to protect themselves from the dozens and dozens of known dangerous pesticides applied to strawberries" Kenner stated according to MSN. "When I saw this, I thought to myself, if this is how berries are grown, I don't really want to eat them anymore. I haven't been able to eat a nonorganic strawberry ever since. I guess they didn't think it looked too appetizing."
Diet soda has been criticized recently due to the fact that manufacturers use artificial sweeteners. Some studies have found a potential link between artificial sweeteners and metabolic changes that negatively impact health. Since not much research has been done on the safety of consuming artificial sugars, it might just be better to steer clear of this beverage.
McDonald's, the popular fast food chain restaurant, sells a lot of food products that are made with controversial ingredients. These ingredients in combination with many other factors ultimately make fast food options unhealthy. Instead of these meals, people should invest their time in cooking meals by using wholesome ingredients.
Canned products can make lives easier because they are available all year round, do not expire fast and come prepared. However, people should avoid using canned products whenever possible. Canned products, such as tomatoes, often have bisphenol A (BPA). Too much of this chemical can lead to dangerous health complications, such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Consumption in smaller amounts is considered safe. A recent study rpeorted that low-dose exposure to BPA is not linked to the development of health conditions.
"You can get 50 micrograms of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that's a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young," said Frederick vom Saal, PhD, professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri. "I won't go near canned tomatoes."

Temporary Impairment a Disability under ADA
Take-away: Temporary but sufficiently severe impairments, whether caused by injury or permanent conditions, should be considered disabilities for purposes of the ADA and for triggering the employer's obligation to engage in the interactive process.
On January 23, 2014, in Summers v. Altarum Institute, Corporation, (Case No. 13-1645, 4th Cir., January 23, 2014 ), the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held, in a case of first impression, that a temporary impairment, if sufficiently severe, can qualify as a disability under the ADA and the ADAAA, triggering a reasonable accommodation obligation for the employer.
Employers in the Fourth Circuit who have traditionally viewed temporary impairments as outside the realm of requiring reasonable accommodations must rethink their approach. Individuals with temporary impairments must be considered in employers' evaluation of impairments constituting a disability and the reasonable accommodation dialogue. The Court upheld the EEOC's "decision to define disability to include severe temporary impairments[.]"
Some facts illustrate the severity of the injuries. The plaintiff was traveling to a client's work site when he fell exiting a commuter train. His severe injuries required surgery and would keep him off his feet for seven months. While he was hospitalized, he sent emails to his employer, suggesting that he take short-term disability for a few weeks, work part-time remotely, and eventually work full-time remotely. His employer did not respond. After exhausting his short-term disability, he was fired by his employer.
The plaintiff had two claims under the ADA, one for wrongful discharge and one for failure to accommodate, both of which were rejected by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. He appealed only the wrongful discharge claim. The District Court rejected the wrongful discharge claim because it found that a temporary condition lasting one year or less did not constitute a disability.
Interestingly for employers, the District Court dismissed his failure to accommodate claim because the burden is on the employee to request a "reasonable" accommodation and his request to work at home temporarily was unreasonable because it eliminated an essential job function (working on-site for clients). Although this claim was not appealed, the Court in a footnote went out of its way to indicate that even a request for an unreasonable accommodation triggers the employer's duty to engage in the interactive process.
The Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of the wrongful discharge claim and remanded it to the District Court. It held that a temporary impairment does qualify as a disability when the impairment was temporary but sufficiently severe to substantially limit a major life activity, in plaintiff's case, the ability to walk.
Additionally, the Court of Appeals flatly rejected the employer's attempt to distinguish between temporary impairments caused by injuries and temporary impairments caused by permanent conditions. In the Court of Appeal's view, there is no basis in the ADAAA or the EEOC's regulations for such a distinction.

Feminist Friday Review: How to Suppress Women's Writing by Joanna Russ
July 27, 2018 July 27, 2018 Hannah G
Where in the heck did I hear about How to Suppress Women's Writing by Joanna Russ? If you wrote a blog post about her in the past couple of months, do let me know. Anyway, Russ was an influential science fiction writer in the 1970s, so I'd been aware of her for a while and always meant to read some of her books. (The most famous is The Female Man.) Then, somewhere, I came across a mention of her nonfiction literary-analysis book How to Suppress Women's Writing and knew it would make for a great Feminist Friday post. It's basically a "guidebook" to all the methods used to discount and devalue women's writing. The cover gives a pretty effective summary of what the book is about:
She didn't write it. (But if it's clear she did the deed…) She wrote it, but she shouldn't have. (It's political, sexual, masculine, feminist.) She wrote it, but look what she wrote about. (The bedroom, the kitchen, her family. Other women!) She wrote it, but she wrote only one of it. ("Jane Eyre. Poor dear, that's all she ever…") She wrote it, but she isn't really an artist, and it isn't really art. (It's a thriller, a romance, a children's book. It's sci fi!) She wrote it, but she had help. (Robert Browning. Branwell Bronte. Her own "masculine side.) She wrote it, but she's an anomaly. (Woolf. With Leonard's help…) She wrote it BUT…
That's roughly the course of the book, but here's the table of contents in more detail (pasted from Wikipedia):
1. Prohibitions: Prevent women from access to the basic tools for writing.
2. Bad Faith: Unconsciously create social systems that ignore or devalue women's writing.
3. Denial of Agency: Deny that a woman wrote it.
4. Pollution of Agency: Show that their art is immodest, not actually art, or shouldn't have been written about.
5. The Double Standard of Content: Claim that one set of experiences is considered more valuable than another.
6. False Categorizing: Incorrectly categorize women artists as the wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, or lovers of male artists.
7. Isolation: Create a myth of isolated achievement that claims that only one work or short series of poems is considered great.
8. Anomalousness: Assert that the woman in question is eccentric or atypical.
9. Lack of Models: Reinforce a male author dominance in literary canons in order to cut off women writers' inspiration and role models.
10. Responses: Force women to deny their female identity in order to be taken seriously.
11. Aesthetics: Popularize aesthetic works that contain demeaning roles and characterizations of women.
From the beginning, Russ talks productively about conscious discrimination versus ignorance and social norms, which is very necessary in this conversation. As soon as you start pointing out sexism, people say it's unintential, it's only one example of a mistake, etc., but those things are just distractions from the point. It leads into one of Russ's more famous quotes:
"At the level of high culture with which this book is concerned, active bigotry is probably fairly rare. It is also hardly ever necessary, since the social context is so far from neutral. To act in a way that is both sexist and racist, to maintain one's class privilege, it is only necessary to act in the customary, ordinary, usual, even polite manner."
Then, each chapter clearly shows how the different strategies work and interact to make female writers practically invisible, and uses quotes from other writers and commentators across time periods to show that these issues are endemic and intersectional, not just accidents. She has a wide scope of knowledge and thorough understanding of these authors and how they've been treated. She's got statistics about how often women are included in anthologies, and what's said about them in comparison to male writers. There's a place for the kind of personal stories we see in feminist memoirs, but without this kind of systematic analysis, all the tactics Russ describes come immediately into play.
The most surreal example was, for me, Charlotte Bronte. She wrote Jane Eyre. I always vaguely thought that was the only thing she wrote. No, she wrote several other novels, and Jane Eyre isn't even her best. That seems to be Villette, a novel which in the 1980s wasn't available in the US, and which is, according to one quote, a meditation on a prison break. When I looked it up for more details, all I found was commentary on which characters might represent Bronte's unrequited love interests. Because Jane Eyre can be read as a romance, that's the one critics chose to address, and pretend it represents Bronte. And when they do talk about Villette, they minimize it and act like it's Bronte's romantic frustration rather than a good novel about anything. All the things Russ talked about were happening right there in front of me.
The book deals mainly with the canon of literature and poetry, but also has examples from scifi/fantasy, art history, and other relevant categories. Dealing with the canon means that this book has hardly aged at all. If it were to be written now, there might be discussion of the modern middle-grade and YA markets with authors like J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer, or the growing success of straight-to-ebook romance books by women. There are some genres where female writers are the default, but those genres are considered less important and less serious. I'd be interested in continuing the discussion up to the present day, and looking at updated statistics, but even so there's nothing "missing" here. If the statistics have improved, it isn't by much, and people are still using all the same tactics to devalue women's contributions.
Russ's writing is clear, relevant, and accurate. This is the kind of book you read so that you can put things into words yourself. So you can call things out, if only in your mind, instead of just being vaguely upset by them. It's a frustrating book because all this is still the same, but that's what makes it so useful, too. Highly recommended.

One thing that's a bit depressing is to look at all the times in history when women's writing has flourished … and then looking right after those periods to see the retrenchment and repression that returned things to the status quo ante (or near to it). It's like a battle women artists keep fighting, and winning, and then losing, and having to fight again.

Yeah, for sure. Queer history tends to be the same.

Shazam delivered its music-looking chops to the Mac over two years in the past, however former NSA hacker and Mac safety guru Patrick Wardle discovered this week that the app has a large flaw. With the model of the app for Apple desktops, the software continues a PC's microphone on after it a user turns it off. It's proper, the microphone on a Mac become nevertheless hot even after Shazam finished its responsibilities and customers flipped the switch. The organization says it is not recording or saving whatever, processing your conversations or storing what it overhears on its servers.
In line with Shazam's vice president of worldwide communications James Pearson, that is a characteristic and no longer a malicious program. If you'll consider, the always-on nature of the app became touted all through its statement, a tool that could maintain to run the company's identification methods in the background in case you allowed it to do so. But, in spite of the software program is particularly toggled "off," the mic remains on. Shazam most effective does this in the Mac app, so if you're using it some place else, other versions don't paintings the equal way.
"If the mic wasn't left on, it might take the app longer to both initialize the mic and then start buffering audio," Man or woman defined to Motherboard. He went on to mention that if the microphone wasn't on, the user revel in would go through, inflicting users to "miss out" on whatever song they wanted to get more data on.
So, what if a hacker desired to get their hands at the statistics that could allow them to listen in on your Mac? Well, Shazam claims that can not show up. The business enterprise's leader product officer Fabio Santini instructed CNET that the method the app makes use of to identify songs uses "fingerprints" or portions of the audio which might be then matched to other "fingerprints" in its database.
"Those points cannot be reverse-engineered to reconstruct original audio," Santini said.
In no way say In no way, Shazam. In response to this week's revelation, the corporation plans to "deal with" the difficulty in an upcoming replace so that you can be released "within the next few days." Once more, Shazam says that there may be no chance to users with the app's present day configuration. Wardle argues that a bit of malware could be engineered to pull audio from Mac's microphone while not having to show it on.
"We should get creative an easily design a bit of malware that steals this recoding without having to provoke a recording itself (which could possibly generate an alert)," Wardle explained.
replace: The enterprise says the usually on feature does not imply the app is constantly recording. In fact, Shazam says the app By no means information audio, it matches it. The software only grabs enough data to assemble an audio "fingerprint" to examine with its database. Each sample is deleted as soon as a tune or different sound profile is recognized. But, the microphone remains on even after users are mindful to show it off.

Unexceptional
Magazine-style
X June 26, 2019
The most common interracial cuckolding scenario is the one involving a white male and a black female. It works on the idea that black males are stronger than their white counterparts and possess larger genetalia. The white wife denies the husband the right to be in the bedroom, forcing him to watch her copulate and masturbate with the black bull. Historically, white men have abused black men, and this kind of "reparation" is seen as a way of "paying back" the treatment that the African American race has had in the past.
Interracial cuckolding is a form of black-white sex, but it also occurs in mixed-race relationships. Whether the women are from the same race or not, the cuckold's sex life is a source of masochistic pleasure. A cuck's primary female partner seeks better sex than her husband can provide, and he seeks to satisfy this desire by sleeping with a man who is more masculine than he can provide.
Interracial cuckolding is a form of infidelity in which a white woman sleeps with a black man.
While the term "interracial cuckolding" is often used to describe a white woman having sex with a black man, it can also be used to refer to a relationship between a black male and a white woman. In a similar way, interracial cuckolding can be a form of exploitation that has a deeper appeal and is more likely to work on a more intimate level.
Interracial cuckolding has an additional dimension: it evokes the feelings of racism while amplifying racial contempt. The relationship is a masochistic and highly arousing experience for both men. Although interracial cuckolding is not a sexually intimate affair, it is a method of seduction that involves a transracial couple. It can also be a form of cultural and social appropriation.
The interracial cuckold genre often reflects racial prejudice. The interracial cuckolding fantasy is a highly racial fantasy in which a white man cheats on his white wife.
It makes both the white man and the black woman feel inevitably weak. The interracial relationship is a sexy strategy, but there are no underlying intentions.
Whether the interracial cuckold is a black man or a white woman, the two are largely similar in its appeal. While interracial cuckolding is more likely to involve one or more Black men and white women, the interracial relationship is a masochistic act in which a white man is unable to satisfy his wife's need for sex. A successful interracial relationship is not only about having sex with a black man, but it is also about getting a black partner.
A white male partner offers a blonde to a black man. A masked Black man opens a garage door to reveal five Black men. The white male partner entices the blonde by her hair into a gangbang with five of them. The black men are often the dominant sexual gaze, while the white male is usually masturbating. The white male's dominant role in the relationship enables him to enjoy the luxury of being a cuckold.

So you want to win back your Drivers License?
Every day, pretty much everything I do is DUI and driver's license related. In some DUI cases, I meet with people who are in the middle of a troubled relationship to alcohol. A man called my office the other day regarding his 7th DUI and insisted that his drinking was not a problem. On the other hand, I have clients for whom the last DUI is an "a-ha" moment; whether that produces lasting sobriety or not is the big question. For anyone even thinking about filing a Michigan driver's license restoration appeal, this is a starting point; you must have really quit drinking and accepted that you cannot drink again. That's a first and a must. Beyond that, however, there are some things you should know. This article is not going to be a simple rehash of my recent article about the essentials of Michigan driver's license restoration appeals, but rather a more pedestrian look at some of the things you may not have known.
If you have lost your license for multiple DUI's, then you have to wait until your period of revocation is over; either 1 year if you've had 2 DUI's within a 7-year period, or 5 years if you've had 3 DUI's within a 5-year period. There is absolutely nothing you can do to shorten this period. I make my living handling license matters, so if there were anything that could be done, I'd do it. There is nothing we can do like "go to court" to get a license. In fact, beyond just not being possible, the law specifically forbids it.
Of course you need a license. Everyone needs a license; the Michigan Secretary of State Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD) hears that all day long. You win back a license because you prove that you're zero risk to ever drink again. Needing a license has nothing to do with being able to win yours back.
In order to win a Michigan driver's license appeal, you have to file, amongst other things, a current substance abuse evaluation and at least 3 notarized letters of support. These things have to come together to prove your current period of abstinence and support the proposition that you are likely to remain abstinent forever. You have to understand how this works, and the context in which it has to work to have any chance of winning.
If you live in Michigan, you will only first win back a restricted license with an interlock unit. Some people call this a "blow and go." Whatever else, there is no go without it. These things cost money; my understanding is that they run about $80 per month. As a driver's license restoration lawyer, I can't really get into the finery of pricing. I cost money, too. I charge $3600 to win your license back, but I did say win. I guarantee I will win every case I take, but I don't take every case that comes my way. Here, we circle back to that sobriety thing. I only take cases for people who have really and truly quit drinking. Curiously, no matter how many times or how many ways I say this, people will call my office and say that they can have a glass of wine or a drink every now and then. The main purpose of a license appeal is to make sure that you have separated yourself completely from alcohol. Given my guarantee, I have absolutely no interest in messing around with anyone who hasn't; after all, he whole point of the license appeal process is to precisely to weed those people out.
You must drive for at least a year on the restricted license with the interlock before you can get rid of it. That means that you will have to go through another hearing all over again, with a new substance abuse evaluation and new letters of support, along with what's called a "final report" from your interlock company summarizing your performance over the last year. This sounds like a lot because it is a lot. However, if you don't follow the exact steps the state requires, you'll never win a license appeal.
You don't need to own a car to put an interlock in one. You can use anyone's car, but if anyone uses it after the interlock is installed, they better be non-drinkers, because the state will hold you responsible for ANY positive readings recorded into the device. Beyond the problem with knowing who blew into it, the DAAD is going to wonder who you're associating with that is drinking, and enough so to even get behind the wheel positive for alcohol.
Most substance abuse counselors don't know how to properly complete a substance abuse evaluation in a way that will win a license appeal. That is not any kind of slam against them, it's just that the DAAD wants very specific information on the form, and some of that is not obvious from just looking at it. In my practice, I work with a small circle of counselors who have extensive experience doing these evaluations, and with whom I communicate frequently about how the DAAD interprets, and sometimes changes the way it interprets each line of the evaluation form.
The overwhelming majority of letters of support are inadequate as written. The DAAD could care less if you're the nicest person in the world and your kids need to go to the hospital for regular treatment. This whole process is about sobriety. If your letters make you out as the meanest, most rotten and foul-mouthed person who's ever lived, but also support your abstinence and commitment thereto, then they're good. If the letters blab on about what a good person you are and how hard it has been for you without the ability to drive, they're not worth the paper they're written on.
This means that instead of counting any and all the reasons why you should get a license (and remember, "needing" a license, having had a hard time without one and being a nice person are not among them), the hearing officer just has to find a reason why you should not. In a very real way, this is a negative mandate.
Earlier on, I mentioned the callers to my office who want to argue that it's okay for them to have a drink every once in a while. These are exactly the people that the rules try to keep out. That kind of "I can still have the occasional drink" mindset is the archenemy of the license appeal process. It is exactly those people that scare the DAAD. So instead to adding up all the reasons why giving a license back is warranted, the hearing officer just needs to find one reason why he or she should not. Think of an inspector looking over a submarine before it begins an underwater journey. Does it matter if he or she can find 5,000 reasons why it should be okay, if he or she can find just one why it shouldn't? In other words, it the thing is 99% waterproof, that's not good enough. A loose rivet can sink the thing. Accordingly, the inspector just needs to find a single reason to keep it from sailing; the same holds true for license appeals.
In the end, and without proper representation, lots of truly sober people get denied. The overarching goal of Michigan's license restoration laws is to make sure no one who has anything whatsoever to do with alcohol (yes, that is YOU, Mr. or Ms. "I can have a glass of win with dinner once in a while") gets back on the road. The state wants to be sure that anyone to whom it restores a driver's license is worlds, if not galaxies, away from having anything to do, in any way, with alcohol. It is understood that setting the bar high enough to be confident that a person with multiple DUI's has eliminated alcohol from his or her life (in other words, it's not just that he or she doesn't drink, but that even those close to him or her don't drink and support the person's sobriety) means that plenty of honestly sober people will lose an appeal; maybe even more than once. Still, if the goal is to make sure that some risky drinker never gets behind the wheel legally, that is considered acceptable collateral damage.
Whatever else, the way I do license appeals guarantees that if you are genuinely sober, you don't become part of that collateral damage. If you really have quit drinking and you want to slip a valid license back in your wallet sooner, rather than later, call my office anytime Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm at 586-465-1980. Let us answer your questions and explain how we can help.

Q: AWK: is there a way to check the next record for a number? I have data I am trying to manipulate.  The only data we don't want to manipulate is the beginning and the end.  The beginning is easy, as the beginning is always exon_1.  The end is not always exon_12 or whatever, it varies.
My question is, does AWK have a way to store the next record without going on to the next record?  The way I wanted to tackle this is to check if the next record is exon_1, and if it is then don't add +1 and +2 to the end of column 5
By the way, I am coding in a bash script.  What else the script does is irrelevant to the question.
Code I have so far:
awk '{ if ($9~"exon_1;") {$3 = $3 FS "0"; $3 = $3 FS "0"; print $0 } else {$4 = $4-1 FS $4; $4 = $4-1 FS $4; print $0}}'  exons.gff3 > exons2.gff3
awk '{ {$7 = $7 FS $7+1; $7 = $7 FS $7+2; print $0}}'  exons2.gff3 > exons3.gff3

Code I'm thinking of but can't quiet implement:
awk '{ if ($9~"exon_1;") {$3 = $3 FS "0"; $3 = $3 FS "0"; print $0 } else {$4 = $4-1 FS $4; $4 = $4-1 FS $4; print $0}}'  exons.gff3 > exons2.gff3
awk 'BEGIN {NR+1 = a} { if (a's $11~"exon_1;") {$7 = $7 FS "0"; $7 = $7 FS "0"; print $0} {$7 = $7 FS $7+1; $7 = $7 FS $7+2; print $0}}'  exons2.gff3 > exons3.gff3

What you're seeing is that the last exon_ does not have a +1 and +2 value added next to it, I want the last value to not change.

A: Awk does not look ahead, but you can always create a variable which stores the previous record and arrange to write that rather than the current record.  The END section would tidy up.


First the breastfeeding mum, now the GINGER emojis!
Redheads, rejoice! 2018 could see the arrival of the ginger emojis you've all been waiting for. Earlier this year, we reported on the arrival of the breastfeeding mother emoji - something we're sure you'll agree has been missing for a long time. Yet through recent emoji updates, developers have focused on creating more racially diverse tiny characters for us to use, and it seems ginger hair is the next step.
After over 21,000 people signed a petition, Jeremy Burge, founder of Emojipedia (yes that's a real thing), posted a series of images on Twitter, showing off the new designs. He also revelead designs for a bald, white and curly haired emoji.
As we reported, the breastfeeding emoji was pushed forward by Rachel Lee, a registered nurse at UCH London, who recognised the lack of emoji and did something about it. You've still got until October this year to submit ideas for the 2018 emoji release, so if you're ready to design a potty-training, ginger baby or doing-everything-with-a-toddler-round-your-leg emoji, we're waiting!

Q: Make Buttons function like keyboard I have an application that should work on a tablet, and there's a page where a recyclerview is present and in its row item there is 2 edit texts (with numberDecimal as input), the default keyboard shouldn't appear because it's covering a considerable large portion of screen.
I created buttons in the activity to act like the keyboard buttons however the problem is how to make the button from activity to communicate with the edit texts in the adapter.
how can i know that if I press (Button "1") for example that it should display 1 in the focused edittext in the adapter, and how if I pressed "<" or ">" button it should know the previous and next edit texts
please help

A:

*

*Intiliased the Adapter before clicking the buttons. because, required the instance of your Adapter to perform.

*create a method add() in your Adapter

ArrayList<String> dataList = new ArrayList<>();
public void add(String element) {
     dataList.add(element);
     notifyItemInserted(dataList.size() - 1);//this will update the recyclerview with data inserted
}

from your button click call this method with your Adapter instance
yourAdapter.add(btn1.getText().toString());

A: I'll provide example in Kotlin, I assume that is what you are using.
So you can simply override the key handling in the parent class like:
Make a method that you call one time from onCreate like:
 fun keydown_onClick(){
        try{
            myActivity.setOnKeyListener { _, keyCode, event ->
                if (keyCode == android.view.KeyEvent.KEYS_YOU_CARE_ABOUT) {
                    //handle it
                    if(activeViewHolder != null){
                        var displayText = activeViewHolder.yourEditText.text
                        keyPressedChar = (char)event.getUnicodeChar()+""
                        //if it's a special key you care about, then handle it in a when statement or if and pass to your adapter if needed to go to next row for example.
                        displayText += keyPressedChar
                        activeViewHolder.yourEditText.text = displayText
                    }
                    return@setOnKeyListener true//we've processed it
                } else
                    return@setOnKeyListener false// pass on to be processed as normal
            }
        }catch (ex: Exception){
            A35Log.e(mClassTag, "Error handling onkeydown listener: ${ex.message}")
        }
    }

Next up is how do you handle it. well you should keep track of the active row. You can do this by creating a callback in your activity that gets notified when a different row is selected or gains focus.
interface IFocusChangeListener {
    fun onNewItemFocused(holder: MyApdaterViewHolder, item: DataItem, index: Int)
}

This will be passed into your adapter and used to fire back to your activity class.
//in activity
var activeViewHolder: MyAdapterViewHolder? = null
var activeIndex: Int? = null
var activeItem: DataItem? = null
fun onNewItemFocused(holder: MyAdapterViewHolder, item: DataItem, index: Int){
     activeViewHolder = holder
     activeIndex = index
     activeItem = item
}

//now in your key down event you simply pass through the value to the editText in the activeViewHolder,
So last piece is in the adapter.
//on bind View
create View holder, the usual bloat.
Then when you have your editText you simply add.
var item = currentDataItem
var index = currentDataItemIndex
var viewHolder = currentViewHolder //from onBind
viewHolder.setOnFocusChangeListener(object: View.OnFocusChangeListener{
            override fun onFocusChange(v: View?, hasFocus: Boolean) {
                if(hasFocus){
                    mFocusListener?.onNewItemFocused(viewHolder, item, index)
                }
            }
        })

//in adapter you may also need
fun onNextEditTextClicked(item: DataItem, index: Int){
    //get next data Item by index + 1 if exist and get it's viewholder.editText and set focus to it, this will automatically trigger the focus event back to the activity
}
fun onPreviousEditTextClicked(item: DataItem, index: Int){
    //get next data Item by index - 1 if exist and get it's viewholder.editText and set focus to it, this will automatically trigger the focus event back to the activity
}

Now you have the focused viewholder in your calling activity, you can catch the keys you care to catch, probably all of them. You can pass them in, you should be good to go.
NOTE*
For the record, if you are using modern practices, aka Data Binding, then you should be able to just update a bindable string in your model and it will show up on the screen without having to pass it around. You could also bind the focus to being selected and just update the selected boolean of the models. There are cleaner ways to do this if you use binding. But for now, just helping you without complicating it.
This solution may need tweaked, I just typed it here so could be off a bit, but should mostly get you there.
Happy Coding.

Zamach stanu w Czadzie w 2006 roku – nieudany zamach stanu, dokonany w Czadzie 14 marca 2006 przez grupę wojskowych rebeliantów przeciw władzy prezydenta Idrissa Déby.

Zamach stanu
Według źródeł państwowych 14 marca 2006 grupa wojskowych planowała zestrzelenie samolotu, na pokładzie którego leciał prezydent Idriss Déby. Prezydent wracał do Ndżameny z międzynarodowego szczytu Wspólnoty Ekonomicznej i Walutowej Afryki Centralnej (CEMAC), który odbywał się w Bacie w Gwinei Równikowej.

Według komunikatu obrona i siły bezpieczeństwa udaremniły plany zamachowcom i wszczęły za nimi pościg. Zamachowcy, wedle relacji, uciekali siedmioma samochodami, z których dwa zostały uchwycone. Pozostali podążyli na wschód w stronę granicy z Sudanem. Minister informacji Czadu ogłosił, iż ujęto dwóch wysokich rangą oficerów, pułkownika i komandora, a zamachem sterowali byli cywilni i wojskowi współpracownicy prezydenta Deby, przebywający obecnie zagranicą. Jako jednych z nich wymienił braci Toma i Timana Erdimi. Minister informacji oskarżył również Sudan o wspieranie czadyjskich rebeliantów, czemu kraj ten od razu zaprzeczył.

16 marca 2006 czadyjscy rebelianci ogłosili, iż ich celem było zapobieżenie wyborom prezydenckim, zaplanowanym na 3 maja 2006. W wyborach tych prezydent Deby po raz trzeci ubiegał się o prezydenturę, po uprzedniej zmianie konstytucji i zniesieniu limitu dwóch kadencji prezydenckich. Władze państwowe oświadczyły, że wybory nie będą przełożone i odbędą się w wyznaczonym terminie. 21 marca 2006 władze ogłosiły, iż aresztowały 100 żołnierzy-rebeliantów, powiązanych z nieudanym zamachem na samolot prezydenta.

Reakcja międzynarodowa
 Unia Afrykańska w swoim oświadczeniu "ostro potępiła próbę zamachu stanu, która miała miejsce w Ndżamenie w nocy z 14 na 15 marca". Przewodniczący Komisji UA powtórzył "sprzeciw UA wobec przejmowania władzy środkami siłowymi". Wezwał również czadyjskich polityków do "podjęcia dialogu, celem rozwiązania konfliktów i przyczynienia się do procesu demokratycznego w kraju".

Did you see the cool little tin can herb planters on page 9 of the February/March Birds and Blooms magazine? What a great idea! I love to reuse things that I might otherwise throw out or recycle and get some good out of them. So here's what I came up with…a scrappers version of the can planter since I didn't have the oh-so-cool printed cans in my cupboard. I used a 29oz can for this one.
A little paint and some scrapbook cardstock and wow!
Take a hammer and a large nail and poke 4 holes in the bottom of the can.
Ok...I used a spike to get these holes in my can.
Next you prime the metal can for painting and let it dry and while you are waiting go grab some pretty colored acrylic paint and a couple accenting papers for the decorative label.
Once the primer is dry you can give your can a base coat of color and let that dry. NOTE: You will probably need to give the can one or two more coats of paint to completely cover it.
Cut the cardstock in a band for the middle. 12″ cardstock is a little short to go all the way around a 29 oz. can so do what I did and make a name tag out of an accent paper!
Use a good non water soluble adhesive to adhere the paper to the can. Finally spray or brush on a sealer over the paper and the paint on the can so it will survive getting wet once in a while.
I think these would make wonderful gifts or garden party prizes.
What a great idea! I would love to make some for my herbs and keep them at my kitchen window.
Thank you Noelle. It was so much fun to bring some fun and color into my kitchen with this little planter and get some good use out of that pile of scrapbooking paper that has been staring at me and seems to grow ever larger (a weakness of mine…sigh). I say go for it girl! I find myself smiling every time I look at mine because it just is so happy looking…at least I think so. Have fun!
These are great, Patty, and readers can decorate them to their liking! Thanks for sharing your version with us–like you said, they would make awesome gifts for any garden-lover.
Thanks Danielle. We all have things we can re-purpose and with little imagination and paint we create a little bit of delight and bring our personalities into our gardens and homes.
Great idea, Patty! Very creative and cute. And a nice way to recycle some cans.
Thank you Crystal. There are so many wonderful things we can reuse for other purposes. The garden is a great place to do that too.
What a pretty and creative recycling project! These would look so nice on a sunny windowsill.
Thank you Carole. For the color hungry northerner's this is a wonderful way to bring some color into the home and get an early start on that herb garden. I can't wait to try more of them!
Love these, will be a great project for the grands when they come over.
Yes they would be great for the grands to make! We love to see what our readers make too and you can submit them to the magazine and who knows…you might see them in a future issue!
I HAVE CREATED CANS BY USING ACRYLIC FABRIC PAINTS AND STENCILS. TAPED THOSE ON AND DABBED PAINT ON AND LET DRY AND USE IT FOR WATER FOR PAINTING ON FABRICS AND TOTE BAGS.CAN USE TUNA/CHICKEN ETC CANS/TAKE LABEL OFF. WASH CAN. DRY AND LET DRY OVER NIGHT. THEN USE IT TO HOLD YOUR KITCHEN CHORE GIRL AND THE STOPPERS FOR SINKS.
KEEPS SINK NEAT AND TIDY. CAN ALSO DECORATE EM TO YOUR FAVORITE COLORS OR PATTERNS. MY STENCIL WAS A DPG/CAT AND WELCOME SIGN.I DID SEVERAL YRS AGO. STILL HAVE THEM. WE WRE IN THE EF-5 TORNADO PN 5//4/07. I WAS ABLE TO SAVE AS MUCH AS I WAS ABLE TO THAT WERE IMPORTANT.
