The U.S.S. Gallery (FFG-26), eighteenth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for three brothers: Rear Admiral Daniel V. Gallery (1901 - 1977), Rear Admiral William O. Gallery (1904 - 1981), and Rear Admiral Philip D. Gallery (1907 - 1973). Ordered from Bath Iron Works on 28 February 1977 as part of the FY77 program, Gallery was laid down on 17 May 1980, launched on 20 December 1980, and commissioned on 5 December 1981. Decommissioned and stricken on 14 June 1996, she was transferred to Egypt on 25 September 1996 as Taba (F916). As of 2007, she remained in active service with the Egyptian Navy. The Gallery (FFG-26) was the first ship of that name in the U.S. Navy.
The colors green and gold, and the rampant lions have been adapted from a personal device of the Gallery family. The lions, symbolic of courage and strength, face in different directions indicating that the brothers for whom this ship is named, served in both theaters of operation during World War II. The star alludes to their many awards, and denote excellence and achievement. The crossed swords, adapted from the Officer and Enlisted badges, allude to Naval Combat Operations.
Blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy. The upraised arm in green and gold is an adaptation from the Gallery family device. The collared and chained sea-wolf symbolizes the only capture of a U-boat from the German wolf-packs during World War II. The crest also symbolizes the curbing and destruction of the enemy sub activities in the Pacific theatre.

Statement from Sen. Warren on the Supreme Court's Decision on the Mass. Buffer Zone Law
WASHINGTON, DC — United States Senator Elizabeth Warren released the following statement today after the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion holding that the Massachusetts buffer zone law is unconstitutional:
"I am deeply disappointed by today's Supreme Court decision striking down the Massachusetts buffer zone law. Make no mistake – it is now more difficult to protect the patients and staff of health clinics from violence, intimidation, and harassment. While I strongly disagree with this decision, the Court was also clear that states and the federal government can still take a wide variety of other steps to address this problem. We now have work to do to take the necessary steps to ensure that all women and their doctors are protected from harm."

Q: How do i copy the formatting of a cell in vba? I have a cell, with formatted (color, size, bold, ...) text in it.
I want to edit the text with a user form (which works), but I want, that the new text keeps the old texts formatting (color, ...).
How do I do that? When I just copy the .Value in a Textbox, then change it in the textbox and paste the value into the cell, it loses its formatting.
Is there a way to get the value with its formatting? Like BBCodes ore Markdown formatting.
Thanks, Luca

A: Are you aware that you can record a macro and see what's inside?
I've just done a "copy/paste formatting", and the code looks as follows:
    Selection.Copy
    Range("C8").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

The most important part here is the .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, which, as you can imagine, pastes the formatting but not the content.

A: I solved the problem by copying the cell with text formatting using the copy function and then editing the text and using Cells#Characters in a loop of the length of the text to change the font properties. Thanks for every answer!


Next time you set off in your RV, make sure you bring on-the-road BBQing abilities with you and pack a Coleman® NXT™ Voyager™ Table Top Propane Grill. In addition to using a standard propane bottle, this grill also comes with a 10-ft. quick connect hose, so you easily hook into your RV's low-pressure propane system, giving you the ability to avoid packing extra bottles of propane while you're out on the road. Once you're hooked in, just hit the Instastart™ push-button ignition and dial in your temperature over the adjustable Even-Temp™ burner, which delivers heat consistently across the grill surface. The heat core technology on the burner also directs the heat upward for easier stovetop cooking. Under the tall lid, 168 sq. in. of grill space sitting over 8,500 BTUs of power are waiting for anything you can throw at them. If you're looking for more meal options, the Swaptop™ interchangeable cooktops let you change out one of the grill grates with a griddle or stove grate (both sold separately). After dinner is done, the removable grease management tray and porcelain-coated stamped steel grate make cleanup easy. Then just latch the lid, and you can be on your way to your next RV adventure.
Propane - NXT™ Voyager™ Grill - Table Top is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark Roper from Works with our on board Propane Quick Connec We selected this primarily because we wanted a portable grill to use with our motor home built in Propane Quick Connect. It came complete with the proper hose for that specific function. It has the same 8500 BTU output as the NXT Lite table top version.

A body of singers entrusted with the musical parts of the Church service, and organized and instructed for that purpose. The Talmud witnesses to the careful organization of the Temple choir, and as the first Christians worshiped with the Jews, we find them from the first using the psalmodic solo with congregational refrain, and from the fourth century psalmody in alternating chorus, both possibly based on Jewish practice. Thus early, and all through the plain-chant period, the choir seems to have been influenced by the liturgical division of the music into solo and chorus chants. Soon after Constantine's conversion we hear of lector - schools in which, as boys, many of the clergy had received their raining. But perhaps the most famous song-school of history was the Roman schola cantorum of St. Gregory , described by John the Deacon , called also orphanotrophium , as its singing boys came chiefly from orphanages. Many of the popes of the seventh century were connected with or came from it. Following this we have the establishment of many other schools, of which the most famous were those of Metz and St. Gall, in the eighth century. The current system of oral instruction rendered such schools necessary. About the year 1100, after the introduction of the musical staff, they began to decline in importance. So thoroughly was music practised in the medieval song-schools connected with churches or monasteries, founded for the purpose of setting forth the liturgy with the utmost splendour and beauty, that until the Protestant Reformation the history of music is practically the history of church music. Yet even about the fourteenth century the gradual substitution of musica mensurata for the cantilena romana , part-music for unisonous, wrought an increasing change in the relation of choir to altar. This change was marked when Pope Gregory XI, in 1377, returned to Rome from Avignon, where the new music had flourished, and amalgamated his choir with the schola cantorum , reorganizing it under the title Collegio dei Capellani Pontificia and placing it under a Maestro della Capella Pontificio . The choir now became more laicised and self-contained. It had grown out of, and had been shaped by liturgical needs. Its place was in the sanctuary, its members were ecclesiastics or boys brought up under ecclesiastical direction in a house attached to the cathedral. Now it might occupy a gallery and be ruled by a layman. Yet the school of composition associated with this change was largely built upon plain-chant, and produced such masters of religious music as Palestrina, Vittoria, and Byrd. Later, the introduction of female voices, the toleration of mixed choirs, and the secularization in style of the music sung, brought about a still greater departure from the idea and influence of St. Gregory's schola cantorum. During the present liturgical revival, however, boys who have been actively employed in church music for so many centuries (we find them mentioned indeed as early as the fourth century) are gradually taking their old place in the constitution and functions of the Christian choir.

Perform a signal timing and coordination study to examine the existing signal system to determine if the system is oversaturated.
Examine improvements to delay from improved signal timing for the existing signals as well as from adaptive signal controls and the cost/benefit ratio of alternatives.
Improvements to the signal system on US 42 will result in more efficient use of the existing roadway network.
Additional throughput of vehicles on this section of roadway will improve access to the school and commercial properties located along the corridor.
Adaptive signal controls allow the traffic signal to automatically adjust to unexpected changes in traffic conditions. If used appropriately, this technology has the potential to improve capacity and reduce crashes.
The project provides the opportunity to investigate adaptive traffic signal controls as a solution to congestion along the roadway. This would be the first use of adaptive signal controls on a state maintained roadway in Kentucky.
The City of Florence has an active project to install adaptive signals along Mall Road. If adaptive signal controls are installed on US 42, the two signal systems could work together to improve mobility along both corridors.
Although adaptive traffic signal controls have the potential to optimize corridor throughput, they do not add capacity to the roadway network. Benefits will not be realized if the network is truly oversaturated. The traffic study will analyze the volume to capacity ratio to determine if adaptive signal controls is the appropriate solution to address US 42 congestion.
There are several adaptive signal control vendors that offer varying benefits. The study should evaluate the type of adaptive signal control package that will work best for Boone County and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Adaptive signals require staff and a budget to operate and maintain.
There is severe congestion along the US 42 corridor from KY 237 to Ewing Boulevard. Additionally, the volume of traffic is expected to increase approximately 10,000 vehicles per day through the 2040 planning horizon.
Land use adjacent to the US 42 corridor is primarily commercial. However, there are several residential developments beyond the project limits that depend upon the corridor.
The crash rate along the US 42 corridor is 73 percent higher than the statewide average of similar roadways.
There are sidewalks along both sides of US 42 through much of the project area. However, there is a gap in pedestrian facilities across the I-71/75 interchange, between Lacresta Drive and Fantasy Frontier Drive.
The TANK Florence Transit Hub is located off of Mall Road approximate 0.6 miles north of the US 42 intersection.
TANK route 1 runs along US 42 from Mall Road to KY 842 (Industrial Road).
TANK route 35x runs along US 42 from Mall Road through the northern limits of the project area.

One of the reasons I love what I do is that I have a platform to share your stories, and this is a great one. Ray Camacho from Yamagata Corporation is a really interesting guy, and although our call didn't start off with this interview as the goal, I couldn't pass the opportunity to get his perspective as a kid from Queens, NY (my hometown!) living and printing in Japan. ENJOY!
DC: Who are you and what do you do?
RC: My name is Ray Camacho, and I work for Yamagata Corporation.
Daily responsibilities vary, but are mostly centered around technology and how we can differentiate ourselves in the market. I am most proud of being the driving force behind change management within Yamagata Corp, and creating another entity called Global Speed as a result of that change.
Technology is leveling the playing field and making the world so much smaller; we felt we needed to approach our business with the same speed and tenacity of a global organization; while maintaining the same high quality and customer service that is synonymous with Japanese culture.
DC: How does a kid from Queens, NY end up in Japan?
RC: I have no idea! It's been a crazy ride. I never had intentions of working abroad, let alone Japan. Basically, my former employer Consolidated Graphics formed a joint-venture with Yamagata Corporation in 2011, and I was the lucky one selected to be president of the new company.
I immediately fell in love with Japan, the culture, food and the work ethic of the Japanese. After RRD acquired CGX, I left, and took on a full-time role with Yamagata Corp.
DC: How is print perceived in Japan? Is the industry evolving as it is in the US – and from what, to what?
RC: I certainly am not an expert on all things Japanese, but from what I can see, printing is alive and well here. I am still amazed at the number of people who still read newspapers, and the countless shops dedicated to manga (Japanese comic books).
Although the industry is changing; and all of the top players here are diversifying their offerings in AR/VR and content creation; I still find that Japanese society is still very much a mix of the old and new.
An example of new technology adoption: contactless payment systems (Suica/Pasmo ) are used here daily. From vending machines to Starbucks; you can pay for just about anything with your train pass. The adoption of this technology is massive, and has long been in place before Apple / Android Pay. To give a little perspective, putting population size aside, look at a NY Metro card compared to that of a Suica Pass in Tokyo.
In contrast, an example of the old technology that is still in place is what the Japanese call a hanko (http://www.turning-japanese.info/2013/08/all-about-japanese-inkanhankochopsseals.html). A hanko is like an official stamp / seal that is used instead of your signature for "signing" important documents such as a contract for accepting employment, or even a loan application.
When I was in the States, I saw countless companies within the printing industry transition from becoming an order taker to a consultant, dropping 'print' from their name, and adopting words like marketing or solutions provider. Along with the name change, came new titles, positions, and the need to hire new skillsets.
Unfortunately, this type of mindset of solution selling has not been widely adopted in Japan as of yet; therefore, this is where the Japanese printing industry has much catching up to do compared to the US, but I nevertheless remain optimistic in the direction of where this industry is heading.
DC: What is your process for working with overseas clients? Any hurdles with paper options for example?
RC: Today, we like to provide each client with a single point of contact to assist their needs regardless of geography. We are not perfect; however, we believe communication is key, and our commitment to quality is unmatched. So, if you ever need printing in several different regions, contact us and let us take care of the rest from there.
Exact paper and specification matching can be tricky. All trends are not created equal.
It's easier to match color from region to region, than it is to source the exact material. Soft touch is very popular in the States but it's not so common in Japan.
We can certainly source material(s) from anywhere and have it shipped to the producing country, although it all depends on the timeframe and how concerned the client is on the consistency of the substrate from region to region.
We find that clients who do business with us, tend to be more color critical, than substrate.
Overall, we try our best to meet all of our clients' specifications, guide them on little cultural nuances, and of course stay within their budget.
DC: If you were giving the commencement speech at your alma mater, Appalachian State University, what would your message be in regard to creating a successful global network of service providers, and how to assess companies for partnership?
RC: Whoa, well even though I am a tech geek, I would remind people that all businesses whether global or domestic rely on relationships. I am sure each of you have hundreds of Facebook friends, or Linkedin contacts, but do you really have a relationship with those individuals?
It's so important that you do what you say, and realize that your word is your bond.
Technology is great and it certainly makes working and partnering with suppliers easier, but at the end of the day; we still need to be able to pick up the phone and talk to them, so solid communication is always key.
I look for someone I can trust, and partner with an organization that is adept at adapting to change. I think a successful global network is built on people and technological API's. Lots of API's in fact but at the end of the day. You got to be able to trust that individual from across the globe.
Ray Camacho is co-founder of Global Speed GK (https://globalspeed.co/) and CTO of Yamagata Corporation (http://www.yamagata-corp.jp/en/). Prior to joining GS he was the president of a joint printing venture in Japan between Yamagata Corporation and Consolidated Graphics.
Cool story. I commend Ray for following "a door opened an he jumped in with both feet." I wish him success in this venture.
I used to work with Ray at CGX and I am not surprised at all that he is as successful as he is. He has always been a tech leader/learner and always dug for a better way to do something.
You are the best, Ellen!!
I wish I had half the energy and ideas Ray has. Keep up the great work, and come see us next time you are in South Carolina.
Congrats Ray! It is exciting to continue to see your career as you launch into new atmospheres.

SCHINDLER'S LIST: The Film Music of John Williams
In honor of the Maestro's 83rd birthday (Feb. 8, 2015), BuySoundtrax Records proudly presents this collection of new recordings, in which some of John Williams' most thoughtful orchestral film compositions are distilled into the intimacy of the instrumental duet. These tracks comprise Williams' own arrangements as well as those of pianist Dan Redfeld, who is joined by Elizabeth Hedman (violin), David Washburn (trumpet), Donald Foster (clarinet), and Karen Hogle Brown (voice) in articulately presenting these themes with deference to their composer and with the heartfelt artistry of each performer.
Singular among virtually all Hollywood motion picture composers, John Williams has established a distinguished reputation in contemporary American music over a career that has thus far continued for six decades. It's a sign of the ongoing flexibility of Williams' music and his ongoing association with the concert hall and with modern classical music that many of his film works are being translated into new arrangements for performance by a variety of small ensembles. It was actually the composer himself who first began to reshape the symphonic splendor of his movie music into the austere environment of the chamber hall. For SCHINDLER'S LIST: THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN WILLIAMS, the composer's own arrangements were used for the new recordings and where Williams hadn't published his own arrangements, Dan made his own arrangements, relying on his understanding of Williams' compositional style from having studied and played them over many years. "John is my favorite composer," Redfeld said. "In college, I had the good fortune to hang around him and watch him work in Boston, and I know his material." The spotlight on these selections is intended to be on the soloists: violin, clarinet, trumpet, voice.
As a bonus track, SCHINDLER'S LIST: THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN WILLIAMS includes Redfeld's arrangement of "Where Dreams Are Born," a vocalise for soprano and orchestra from the soundtrack to Spielberg's wistful science fiction drama, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (2001). Without a published arrangement of the piece, Redfeld transcribed the music by hand from the film soundtrack. "I used John's vocal notes as they were written," he said, "and I came up with the arrangement for the piano part."
John Williams was born in New York and moved to Los Angeles with his family in 1948. There he attended UCLA and studied composition privately with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. After service in the Air Force, Mr. Williams returned to New York to attend the Juilliard School, where he studied piano with Madame Rosina Lhevinne. While in New York, he also worked as a jazz pianist, both in clubs and on recordings. He then returned to Los Angeles, where he began his career in the film industry, working with such composers as Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman, and Franz Waxman.
Best known for his film scores and ceremonial music, Williams is also a noted composer of concert works and a renowned conductor. Williams' scores for films such as JAWS, E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, SCHINDLER'S LIST, as well as the INDIANA JONES, STAR WARS and the HARRY POTTER series have won him multiple awards and produced best-selling recordings.
Williams has composed the music and served as music director for many films, including SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, AMISTAD, SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET, THE LOST WORLD, ROSEWOOD, SLEEPERS, NIXON, SABRINA, SCHINDLER'S LIST, JURASSIC PARK, HOME ALONE, FAR AND AWAY, JFK, HOOK, PRESUMED INNOCENT, ALWAYS, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, the INDIANA JONES series, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, EMPIRE OF THE SUN, THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, the STAR WARS series, SUPERMAN, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, JAWS, GOODBYE MR. CHIPS and many more.
Dan Redfeld is a classically trained concert pianist and composer/conductor who studied at Boston's New England Conservatory. While many of his fellow students were embracing modernistic, atonal music, Redfeld was more interested in tonal, neo-romantic music, an inclination grounded by his studies with acclaimed composer and pianist William Thomas McKinley. At the same time, Redfeld had discovered a love for film music through the work of John Williams in JAWS and STAR WARS. Through McKinley, Redfeld met and watched Williams at work with the Boston Pops, and the famous film composer's influence settled into his artistic design. Redfeld began scoring short films for the American Film Institute, and in a day when many film composers were coming out of popular music into Hollywood film scoring careers, he found his academic background particularly advantageous to the music he was writing.

Lady Godiva, of Coventry
Name Godiva
Title Lady
Suffix of Coventry
Born 980 Mercia, England
About Lady Godiva
Godiva (or Godgifu) (fl. 1040-1080) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry in England in order to gain a remission of the oppressive toll imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name "Peeping Tom" for a voyeur comes from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom watched her ride and was struck blind or dead."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Godiva
Lady Godiva Buckingham, an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman, was the beautiful wife of Leofric III, Earl of Mercia and lord of Coventry.; She is known to have persuaded her husband to found monasteries at Coventry and Stow. The people of Coventry were suffering grievously under the earl's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would ride naked through the streets of the town. According to legend, she consented to ride naked through the town on a white horse; Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should keep within doors or shut their windows, she rode through, clothed only in her long hair.; Only one person disobeyed her orders to remain indoors behind closed shutters; this man, a tailor known afterward as "Peeping Tom", bored a hole in his shutters that he might see Godiva pass and immediately became blind. Her husband kept his word and abolished the onerous taxes. The oldest form of this legend is in the 13th-century Flores Historiarum (Flowers of the Historians); A festival in her honor was instituted as part of Coventry Fair in 1678.The oldest form of the legend has Godiva passing through Coventry market from one end to the other while the people were assembled, attended only by two female (clothed) riders. This version is given in Flores Historiarum by Roger of Wendover (died 1236), a somewhat credulous collector of anecdotes, who quoted from an earlier writer. The still later story, with its episode of Peeping Tom, appeared first among 17th century chroniclers. Whether the Lady Godiva of this story is the Godiva or Godgifu ("gift of God") of history is undecided. Comment
Story: Lady Godiva
Godiva or Godgifu; was born about 1010, a sister of Thorold of Buckingham (Sheriff of Lincs.); she is the Lady Godiva of legend, and apparently is of an old, noble family. One correspondent claims her father was Earl of Lincolnshire.

Om Lady Godiva (Norsk)
Godiva Hustru i Coventry til jarlen av Mercia
Godgifu eller med sitt mest kjente navn Godiva (ca. 990 ? 10. september 1067) var en angelsaksisk adelskvinne som i henhold til legenden red naken gjennom gatene i byen Coventry i England for å kunne be om at en urimelig skatt ble opphevet. Skatten var pålagt av hennes egen ektemann overfor dennes undersåtter. Det engelske begrepet «peeping Tom» for en som titter på nakne kvinner kommer fra denne hendelsen. I henhold til legenden var en mann ved navn Tom som så henne ri naken og øyeblikkelig ble blind.

It's a simple scene. Four handsome men in expensive-looking black outfits find that their even more expensive-looking car is in need of repair. They need to get out and push, and as they do so a cover of Stand by Me performed by Florence + the Machine plays in the background. It's a beautifully serene moment that captures the essence of Final Fantasy 15's messaging perfectly. Here are four friends, out in the wider world for the first time, about to explore many new locations and test the very fabric of their friendship.
More to the point, this was a series trying to re-establish itself, and it kicked off its first current-generation mainline instalment with its characters trying to start a broken car. The metaphor is hardly subtle, but it is apt. This is poetic enough in and of itself, but the timing of the release has gone on to make it something more.

With a scarf covering one side of her face, and her eyes cast down, Hannah hesitantly approached Rhonda, a nurse practitioner.
After sitting down, Hannah pulled back the scarf to reveal a massive keloid scar on her earlobe. The scar tissue had built up after she had injured her ear over a year prior.
Hannah recounted to the translator, Susie, that she was constantly stared at wherever she went and laughed at by children, Hannah's embarrassment had forced her to cover her face. With the nearest hospital a seven hour drive away and lack of funds to get there, Hannah had simply resorted to hiding her face.
Rhonda immediately referred Hannah over to Dr. Patrick, an experienced physician from Vunapope hospital in Kokopo, Papua New Guinea.
Dr Patrick examined Hannah's ear and knew he could repair the damage. Dr. Patrick set up a make-shift operating theatre, and assisted by Dr. Jeremy, a dentist from Australia, set about removing the scar tissue mass. Dr. Patrick also reformed her earlobe.
While the procedure was relatively simple for the doctors, it would be a life changing one for Hannah. A little over an hour and Hannah's surgery was complete. She sat up from the surgical chair. A huge burden was lifted from her both physically and emotionally.
Hannah walked away from the YWAM clinic with her head held high and her eyes looking forward. The scarf she'd worn to cover her face now tucked inside her bag. No longer ashamed by her appearance, the simple surgery had restored her dignity!

Are we there yet? Exploring the journey to quality stroke care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural and remote Queensland
Quigley, Rachel, Mann, Jennifer, Robertson, Jan, and Bonython-Ericson, Sharon (2019) Are we there yet? Exploring the journey to quality stroke care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural and remote Queensland. Rural and Remote Health, 19 (3). pp. 4850-4859.
DOI: 10.22605/RRH4850
View at Publisher Website: https://doi.org/10.22605/RRH4850
Introduction: The burden of stroke for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia is significant. The National Stroke Foundation has identified that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more likely to have a stroke at a younger age than the non-Indigenous population and are twice as likely for stroke to result in death, and that those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in rural and remote areas are less likely to have access to an acute stroke unit. The only acute stroke unit in Far North Queensland treats six times more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients than the Queensland average, a large proportion of whom reside in the rural and remote communities of the Cape and Torres Strait. This article describes part of the qualitative phase of a project titled Culturally appropriate stroke services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people', received Closing the Gap funding to identify the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stroke survivors in Far North Queensland and establish a model of care that is responsive to these needs.
Method: Data were collected from 24 stroke survivors, 10 carers and 70 stakeholders through surveys. The surveys incorporated open-ended questions and were administered through face to face interviews with participants from across 18 diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities within Far North Queensland. Guided by the principles of thematic analysis the data were coded, categories created and themes and subthemes identified.
Results: This study emphasises the need for an inclusive coordinated and culturally responsive approach to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stroke care that values the role of the client, their family and community. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander liaison officer has a pivotal role within the multidisciplinary team. Resources specific to the language, literacy and cultural needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stroke survivors are required as is advocacy for the availability and use of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language interpreters. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stroke survivors have limited opportunity to fulfil their rehabilitation potential after hospital discharge.
Conclusion: An integrated patient centred model of care that spans the care continuum and places value on an extended role for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health worker workforce is indicated, as is an increased utilisation of allied health and specialist follow-up close to home.

Office of Communications » Pitzer Professor José Z. Calderón's New Anthology Shares Lessons from an Activist Intellectual
Pitzer Professor José Z. Calderón's New Anthology Shares Lessons from an Activist Intellectual
Claremont, Calif. (April 26, 2016)—Pitzer College Professor Emeritus José Z. Calderón's book Lessons from an Activist Intellectual: Teaching, Research, and Organizing for Social Change is an anthology of articles that tackle a range of societal issues and show how Professor Calderón has pursued social justice as a professor, researcher and community organizer.
A professor of sociology and Chicano/a-Latino/a studies at Pitzer, Calderón gives numerous examples of the way "an interactive, intercultural and interdisciplinary approach can involve students and community participants in community-based teaching, research and learning experiences for social change." Taken together, these articles provide a blueprint for activist-intellectuals who seek to bridge the gap that often exists between the academy and surrounding communities.
In the course of 19 chapters, Calderón analyzes a multitude of contemporary cultural and social issues, including ethnic conflict in suburbia, English-only laws in California and immigrant workers' rights. He simultaneously explores his approach to teaching, which recasts students and community participants as both teachers and learners in social-change projects. He shows how this kind of community-based pedagogy can engage historically excluded individuals from diverse backgrounds "for whom the educational experience can be either an alienating or empowering experience."
Professor Calderón shares his own history as a first-generation immigrant of Mexican origin and describes how his experiences relate to the evolution of his approach to teaching and community organizing.
"My struggles with learning English and growing up in a poor immigrant farm-worker family became the foundations of language, labor and immigration issues that I passionately took up in my organizing, teaching and research as an activist intellectual in academia," he writes.
José Zapata Calderón joined Pitzer College's faculty in 1991. He is the co-editor of Race, Poverty, and Social Justice: Multidisciplinary Perspectives through Service Learning, and his scholarly articles and public commentaries have been widely published. In the late '90s, Calderón spearheaded the founding of the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center (PEOC), a nonprofit dedicated improving the overall conditions for all immigrant workers. He has received numerous awards for his community-based work, including the PEOC Community Award and California Campus Compact's Richard E. Cone Award for Excellence & Leadership in Cultivating Community Partnership in Higher Education.
Lessons from an Activist Intellectual was published by University Press of America, Inc. and is available through Rowman & Littlefield, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The influence of psychological factors on the outcomes of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication
Laurent Biertho1,
Dutta Sanjeev1,
Herawati Sebajang1,
Marty Antony2 &
Mehran Anvari1
Psychological factors play a role in a variety of gastrointestinal illness, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Their impact on the surgical outcomes of antireflux surgery is unknown.
This is a single institution prospective controlled trial, comparing patients undergoing a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for GERD (LNF Group, n = 17) to patients undergoing an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary colic (Control Group, n = 10). All patients had a psychological assessment before surgery, at 3 months and 6 months after surgery (i.e. Symptom CheckList-90-R somatization subset (SCL-90-R), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Anxiety sensitivity index, Illness attitude scale and Beck Depression Inventory II). GERD symptoms were recorded in the LNF Group using a standardized questionnaire (score 0–60). Patients with post-operative GERD symptoms score above 12 at 6 months were evaluated specifically. Statistical analysis was performed using a Student T test, and statistical significance was set at 0.05.
There was no significant difference in preoperative and postoperative psychological assessment between the two groups. In the LNF Group, 7 patients had persisting GERD symptoms at 6 months (GERD score greater than 12). The preoperative SCL-90-R score was also significantly higher in this subgroup, when compared to the rest of the LNF Group (18.2 versus 8.3, p < 0.05) and to the Control Group (18.2 versus 7.9, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference for the other psychological tests.
The SCL-90-R Somatization Subset, reflecting the level of somatization in a patient, may be useful to predict poor outcomes after antireflux surgery. Cognisance of psychological disorders could improve the selection of an optimal treatment for GERD and help reduce the rate of ongoing symptoms after LNF.
Laparoscopic approach had a significant impact in the modern treatment of most abdominal pathologies, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Multiple well-designed trials have confirmed that laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) compares favorably with its open counterpart [1–3].
However, a small but significant number of patients (12% at 5 years in our initial experience) have persisting or recurrent GERD symptoms after antireflux surgery [4, 5]. When a surgical complication has been ruled out, poor patient selection, psychological disorders associated or mimicking GERD (i.e. somatization, anxiety or depressive disorders), can play a role. Pre-operative identification of such psychological disorders could help orient patients to a psychological therapy instead of surgery.
The aim of this study is to identify psychological factors associated with poor surgical outcomes after antireflux surgery.
This is a single institution prospective controlled trial, comparing patients undergoing a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for GERD (LNF Group, n = 17, 13 females and 4 males) to patients undergoing an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary colic (Control Group, n = 10, 9 females and 1 male). Patients were prospectively recruited between March 2002 and May 2003, from the outpatient consultations of a University Medical Centre (Centre for Minimal Access Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario).
The LNF Group was recruited among patients who were considering surgical treatment for the management of classical symptoms of GERD. All patients had pre-operative 24-hour pH monitoring, with GERD defined as a percentage time with pH<4 greater than 4% during 24 h, and a Demeester score greater that 14.3. Preoperative workup also included esophageal manometry and esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy.
A detailed questionnaire was used to assess GERD specific symptoms (heartburn, pain, regurgitation, dysphagia and fullness) and non-GERD symptoms (vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite and cough). Each symptom was scored as a product of severity (0 = none, 3 = severe) and frequency (0 = none, 4 = daily), for a GERD symptoms score ranging between 0 and 72 and a non-GERD symptoms score ranging between 0 and 48. This symptom score has been validated previously [6].
Patients with post-operative GERD symptoms score above 12 at 6 months (LNF Poor outcomes Group) were compared to the rest of the LNF Group (LNF Good outcomes Group). A score of 12 was chosen based on our previous experience with the GERD symptoms score (SS)[6]. The SS showed a high responsiveness index, after LNF, which indicate that the instrument is highly sensitive. The minimal clinically important difference is about seven scale points. A 12 points score (on a 0 to 72 points scale) was considered to be a good cut-off point to consider that patients have ongoing or recurrent GERD symptoms.
The Control Group consisted in patients with typical biliary pain with radiologic evidence of cholelithiasis. This group represents patients with a specific disease entity that is expected to be cured with a surgical treatment.
Patients with known psychiatric or psychologic disorders were excluded, as well as patients with chronic pain syndrome.
The two groups had the same psychological assessment one month before surgery, at 3 months and 6 months after surgery. The following tests were administered:
Symptom CheckList-90-R, somatization subset (SCL-90-R): a 12-item questionnaire that measures a current point-in-time somatization symptom complex as outlined in the DSM IV-R [7]. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale (0 to 4). A raw score can be calculated by dividing the summed total score by the number of items. That score is then referred to gender-appropriate norms for conversion to standard t-score, which may alternatively be expressed as a percentile. T-scores equal to or greater than 63 (90th percentile) for the global score index (on the 90 items) or in any two symptom dimensions warrants clinical workup. In this study, the summed total score was used for evaluation of somatization level.
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS): a 21-item instrument for distinguishing between features of depression, physical arousal, and psychological tension and agitation in clinical and non-clinical groups. It has acceptable to excellent internal consistency and concurrent validity [8]. Clinical range, based on normative data, is defined as scores of 16.57 or above for stress, 12.75 or above for anxiety, and 9.26 or above for depression.
Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI): a 16-item self-report questionnaire measuring fear of anxiety-related symptoms. Each item is scored using a five point Likert type scale with endpoints of "very little" (0 points) and "very much" (4 points). The ASI yields a total score obtained by summing the rating across all items, with higher scores reflecting higher level of fear and concern regarding physical symptoms of anxiety. Psychometric data is available for community and clinical samples [9];
Illness Attitude Scale (IAS): a 29-item questionnaire that measures attitudes, fears and beliefs associated with the psychopathology of hypochondriasis and that of abnormal illness behavior. All items are self-rated on 5 points Likert scales, with endpoints of "no" (zero points) and "most of the times" (four points). The scores on the two subscales (Health Anxiety and Illness Behaviour) appear to differentiate between general medical outpatients (mean of 10.9 and 9.0 respectively), general practice patients (11.3 and 6.8) and subjects from the general population (9.1 and 4.7) [10, 11].
Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI): a 21-item scale designed to measure clinical depression, shown to have excellent psychometric properties. The original authors recommended cut-off scores for non depressed (<10), mildly depressed (10–14), moderately depressed (15–22) and severely depressed (23 +) [12].
Ethic Board approval was obtained to collect these data.
A similar technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy or laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was used in all patients. In short, the surgical technique of LNF consisted in a 2 to 3 cm, 360 degree wrap with selective division of short gastric vessels and crura repair [5]. The technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy included the dissection of Callot's triangle, identification and control of the cystic duct and cystic artery and retrograde dissection of the gallbladder bed.
Data were entered in an electronic database and results are expressed as a Mean ± Standard Deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using a Student T tests and statistical significance was set at 0.05.
The results of the pre-operative and 6-months psychological tests are summarized in Table 1. There was no significant difference between the LNF Group and the Control group. Five patients in the LNF group had abnormal Beck depression inventory's scores that could suggest depressive disorders (mild (2), moderate (2) and severe (1). Three patients normalized their BDI score 6 months after surgery, one patient went from a score of 19 (severe) to 10 (mild) and the last one had an increase from 10 (mild) to 17 (moderate).
Table 1 Psychological scores before surgery and at 6 months (Mean ± Standard Deviation).
There was also a significant decrease in GERD symptoms score in the LNF Group (39.8 ± 13.2 preop versus 15.7 ± 17 at 6 months, p < 0.05), but also a significant decrease in the non-GERD symptoms score (11.8 ± 10.6 preop versus 4.3 ± 8.4 at 6 months, p < 0.05). This was correlated with a significant drop in the percentage time below pH4 during 24 h and DeMeester score (p < 0.05) (Table 2).
Table 2 Evolution in 24 h pH monitoring (Mean ± Standard Deviation).
In the LNF Group, 7 patients had a GERD symptoms score greater than 12 at 6 months (on a 0 to 72 scale) and constitute the LNF-Poor outcomes Group. This group was compared to the other 10 patients in the LNF Group (LNF-Good outcomes Group). Changes in 24 h pH results and DeMeester scores are summarized in Table 2. None of the patients with ongoing GERD symptoms had objective acid reflux, as demonstrated by normal 24 h pH monitoring.
The evolution of GERD and non-GERD symptoms score in each group is summarized in Figure 1 and 2 respectively. The difference in non-GERD symptoms scores was not significant.

Non-GERD Score, Good versus Poor Outcomes Groups (Mean).
The results of psychological tests were also compared between the two groups. A significantly higher preoperative SCL-90-R score was found in patients with ongoing symptoms (18.2 versus 8.3, p < 0.05, Figure 3), reflecting a higher level of somatization in these patients. There was no significant difference in the other psychological tests.
SCL-90 Score, Good versus Poor Outcomes Groups (Mean).
Psychological disorders can play a role in a variety of gastrointestinal illness, including esophageal diseases. The influence of psychological factors in gastroesophageal reflux is unknown. Some studies suggest that both acid secretion and gastric motility are affected by emotions or stress, with some personality traits associated with labile basal acid secretion rate [13]. McDonald et al [14] also showed that relaxation training can alter esophageal acid exposure and reflux symptoms reports in patients with GERD.
Baker et al [15] did a psychological assessment in 51 patients with GERD and in 43 age-matched controls. His results suggested that although most patients with GERD were psychologically similar to patients without GERD, a subset of psychologically distressed patients (depression, somatization, anxiety and intensity of reporting symptom distress, n = 15) were more likely to be found among patients with GERD. Similarly, Johnson et al[16] reported a greater rate of phobia, obsessionality and somatization disorders in patients who seek medical attention for heartburn, than in those who do not consult. Kamolz et al[17] evaluated the outcomes of laparoscopic antireflux surgery in patients with known anxiety disorders. In that study, surgery improved the quality of life and corrected the acid reflux with however less symptoms relief in some of the patients.
These results suggest that psychological factors can influence the perception and/or the severity of GERD. In this specific study, there was no significant difference in the preoperative psychological assessment between patients suffering from GERD and the control group. However, a subset of patients experienced ongoing GERD symptoms and this specific group had a significantly higher level of somatization, as demonstrated by a higher SCL-90-R, somatization subset score.
GERD and somatization disorders
Somatoform disorders are defined as psychiatric disorders in which one or more unexplained physical symptoms are the central defining feature of the disease. They frequently have abdominal manifestations, occurring in 17% to 28% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome[18]. They can also influence the surgical outcomes, by altering the patient's perception of pre- and post-operative symptoms and pain[19]. Clouse et al[20] demonstrated that patients with esophageal motility disorders score high on scales of somatic anxiety, depression and somatization. Baker et al[15] also found that somatization disorders are more likely to be found among patients with GERD.
In this specific study, the SCL-90-R, somatization subset was used to assess somatoform disorders. It is a self-report questionnaire, developed by Clinical Psychometric Research in 1976[21]. It is a reliable tool designed to reflect psychologic symptom patterns of individuals. The somatization subset used in this study measures somatization symptoms complex. Patients who experienced ongoing GERD symptoms after surgery had a significantly higher score on the somatization scale, compared to both the rest of the LNF Group and the Control Group.
GERD and depression disorders
Depression is one of the most frequent psychological disorder in the general population. As a result, its impact on GERD and surgical outcomes has been evaluated before. Kamolz et al[22] compared GERD symptoms in patients who had both GERD and major depression to a control group, before and after laparoscopic fundoplication. Atypical GERD symptoms (chest pain: 81.6% vs 37.4% and bloating: 92.2% vs 37.4%) were more predominant and graded as much more severe among patients with major depression. Also, all symptoms but dysphagia significantly improved after laparoscopic antireflux surgery in both groups but patients with major depression had a significantly higher rate of chest pain, bloating, and dysphagia. Power et al[23], in a series of 131 patients who had a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, identified preoperative psychiatric history (major depression but also any psychogenic stressor) as an accurate predictor of LNF failure. Psychological history, especially with patients who have severe or refractory GERD symptoms, a positive review of systems or disrupted quality of life is thus essential. Patients with refractory GERD symptoms who have psychological issues and impaired quality of life may benefit more form integrated psychological care than referral to procedure oriented specialist[24].
In this specific study, there was no significant difference in the scores of Depression Anxiety Stress Scales and Beck Depression Inventory between any of the groups. However, five patients in the LNF group had abnormal Beck depression inventory's scores that could suggest depressive disorders. Three patients normalized their BDI score 6 months after surgery.
In conclusion, the SCL-90-R Somatization Subset, measuring the level of somatization in a patient, may be useful to predict poor outcomes after antireflux surgery. Cognizance of psychological disorders could improve the selection of an optimal treatment for GERD and help reduce the rate of ongoing symptoms after LNF. Larger studies are however required to confirm these results.

 NIOSHTIC-2 Publications Search - 20041763 - Differences in folic acid use, prenatal care, smoking, and drinking in early pregnancy by occupation.
Differences in folic acid use, prenatal care, smoking, and drinking in early pregnancy by occupation.
OBJECTIVE: To describe differences in four high risk periconceptional behaviors (lack of folic acid supplementation, lack of early prenatal care, smoking, and drinking) by maternal occupation. METHODS: Analyses were conducted among women in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study who delivered liveborn infants without birth defects. Periconceptional occupational data were collected using a computer-assisted telephone interview and occupational coding was performed using the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification System. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine whether prevalence of behaviors differed between occupational groups. RESULTS: Subjects included 5153 women employed during early pregnancy from 1997 to 2007. Compared to women in management, business, science, and arts occupations, women in other occupations (e.g., service occupations) were significantly more likely to engage in all four high risk behaviors. Specifically, women in food preparation/serving-related occupations were significantly more likely to engage in all four behaviors compared to women in all other occupational groups (odds ratios: 1.8-3.0), while women in education/training/library occupations were significantly less likely to do so (odds ratios: 0.2-0.5). CONCLUSION: We identified several occupational groups with an increased prevalence of high-risk maternal behaviors during pregnancy. Our findings could aid in developing interventions targeted towards women in these occupational groups.


@guy - I have submitted a fix to the dev branch. Please let me know if it works for you now.
Awesome pal, that's sorted it.
404 Monitor: keep a log of '404 Not Found' hits (containing request URI, referrer, and user agent) so that you can later create jumplinks for them. You can clear the monitor at any time. This feature is turned off by default, and can be enabled in the module settings.
Per @ceberlin's request, the date and time of the last hit on a jumplink is now recorded. The date can be seen by hovering over its hit counter, or by opening the jumplink editor. Furthermore, if a jumplink hasn't been hit in the last 30 days, that jumplink will be highlighted in the table, and a message saying that it is safe to delete will appear when editing it.
Have tested on all systems available to me, and no issues have come up. That said, I'll bump to 1.3.0 tomorrow, after updating the documentation.
Debug Mode now logs each wildcard in a jumplink.
Important fixes for zero/null timestamps.
You can now make slashes optional with /? or [/] instead of just the latter.
Classes are now only imported when needed.
Each jumplink now remembers when it was last hit and notifies you if it has gone stale, as discussed above.
404 Monitor, as discussed above. Turned off by default.
Schema version bumped to v4 to accommodate timestamp fixes and the new 404 monitor.
If you come across any bugs with this release, please open an issue over at GitHub.
Docs will be updated shortly.
@Mike - i'm wondering if there is any chance that this module may be conflicting with page path history?
In the meantime, I think you should just export the 3 processjumplinks tables to sql files, and uninstall the module. Then check if it is indeed the case. You can then install Jumplinks again, and import the tables.
Edit: In a quick test, I could not reproduce this. However, I did not install the PPH Manager - not sure if there could be conflict there. In a rush, however, so will look at this again later.
Definitely not able to reproduce this... I'm sure something else is interfering. Let me know if the problem doesn't persist after uninstalling Jumplinks.
hey thanks a ton for looking at that, i will continue testing later today and this week and see what's going on.
Just as a follow-up to the shortlinks tutorial posted yesterday: Jumplinks can also come in handy if you want to redirect ID-based URIs.
This is a result of the Destination Selectors feature I added a while back, thanks to the suggestion by Macrura.
So, when requesting /journal/1078, for example, you'll be redirected accordingly to /journal/hello-world/.
Of course, you could take this further, but this is just a basic idea.
Might be handy for someone using Jumplinks.
These attacks can test several hundred links. So, after such a scan, the 404 Monitor (limited to the last 100 hits) is pretty useless.
What about (optional) alternative storage of the links? Simple logfile or maybe better a sqlite db file? This way you don't need to spam the MySQL-DB with those spam entries but the useful links also don't get dropped. So, with lots of entries, the 404-Monitor table needs to have pagination then and maybe a function to select / delete entries. If you interested in this, I can provide a ready to use wrapper class for sqlite, (create, insert, update, read, delete).
Also useful solution could be to exclude the 404-Monitor as separate module and give it some more functions like detecting IPs and when seeing those attacks, temporary block the IP for a short time. But this has nothing to do with jumplinks. That's why I said make 404-Monitor a external / submodule, that can be used for / from different other modules.
Interestingly, I bumped into this issue yesterday on a live site - thanks for bringing it up.
Initially, I just implemented it as-is due to the fact that it can be useful in most cases. That said, these kinds of attacks are becoming quite regular these days, and so I think it's a very good idea.
Thank you, I'd very much appreciate a wrapper class, which, in my opinion, is much better than using a log file. When I have some time - hopefully soon - I'll upgrade the monitor.
I'm just wondering if I should maybe integrate the monitor with the new 404 logger by kixe. What do you think?
Scratch that. Unfortunately, the logger doesn't capture as much information as I'd like to show. An SQLite-base solution will be better.
Edit: Perhaps a separate module, included in the package, will be best. Let me think on this.
This is nothing that urges.
This way my 404 log becomes more and more clean and the attackers hopefully gets a feeling like "Damn, to late again!"
A 404 monitor module that determine a scan attack optionally can send 410 headers for the next 5 or 10 minutes to the originating IP. No more editing the htaccess for this.
I will send you the sqlite wrapper. I have looked at it, but currently it depends on a subclass of mine in regards to filelocking. I will change this to result in a single class before sending.
I'm a little undecided as to how much functionality I would want in this monitor. Currently, Jumplinks serves its purpose, and adding to much to it might not be the greatest idea.
That said, I would be prepared to release a separate 404 monitor module that includes this functionality. Firstly, Jumplinks would be able to tie into this module if it exists. Secondly, I'd be able to add certain security features to it without bloating Jumplinks.
For me, this is a performance thing - i.e. booting up the whole PW system just to block/limit access is unnecessary.
As said, the added benefit would be that the module can provide a 'safe' list of 404s from which Jumplinks can derive it's data.
I had a website with a lot of subdomains, now I want to redirect all subdomains to internal pages, is there a way to do this with jumplinks?
I would like also to suggest a couple of small "improvements" as result of my experience with this fantastic module.
1. possibility to filter 404 errors per type, like images, pages, css, etc.. I have a lot of 404 errors and having such option could be very helpful.
Unfortunately not - it isn't something that happens often, and so it isn't a feature. It might be best for you to use .htaccess for that.
I will be rebuilding the 404 Monitor as a separate module, and may include that.
That's also on the to do list. Originally, I skipped the validation as I found it was not a common occurrence. But, I do believe that some kind of validation should be put in place.
I do have quite a lot of work at the moment, and so cannot commit to actually getting these things done.
Just a heads-up: As mentioned, lot's on the plate these days. But I've made a decision regarding the module going forward. When the next one or two PW minor stables come out, I'm going to start making Jumplinks 2.6-only. Lots of goodies I want to use, and as stated earlier in this thread, Jumplinks is mostly for new sites resulting from migrations. Of course, Jumplinks won't upgrade for anyone using it on 2.5.3. Also, and because of this decision, I'll be switching over to some kind of autoload solution so I can split up logic etc. It's essentially going to be a rewrite. Nonetheless, it will function exactly the same, sans the 404 Monitor, which I'll try to release at the same time.
Speaking of the 404 monitor, I've already drawn out some blueprints and flow charts - ideas have come to mind, and I think it's going to be a really helpful module. As said, it will mesh well with Jumplinks.
Edit: Okay, I see that 2.6.1 is already on stable (of course, it should be). I'll need some time before I start this up.
I think the "pwpj" extension is from this module. I have no clue how this fake extension(?) made its way into Google, what the reason is for it, and how to handle it when creating a jumplink.
Can you update the documentation to give a litte insight?
And by the way, a feature request: Is it possible to set a "410 gone" also?
I have a bunch of links to non-existing images that I do not plan to redirect.
It's a method I'm currently using to allow users to create jumplinks that start with index.php. Not sure why Google is indexing those, especially considering they are 404s. If you have a jumplink that checks for index.php?cat=32, for example, but you make a request for anything but the 32 and leave the index.php in the URI, Jumplinks will redirect index.php to index.php.pwpj so that it can be tested.
I will more than likely be using a better method when I rewrite the module.
Good day, Mike (and all the other redirect maniacs)!
I got a site that responds differently to different subdomains and got Jumplinks installed. I am writing a .htaccess redirect from www of a subdomain to no-www.
You don't have permission to access /index.php.pwpj on this server.
I turned the module off and realised that it is not the module that is the reason, as I still get redirected to subdomain.domain.ru/index.php?it=something/ not to subdomain.domain.ru/something.
I tried putting my code before and after PROCESSWIRE HTACCESS DIRECTIVES block without a difference. Could you please give me a hint here?
@Ivan - Hmm, seems strange. Could be a 301 cache issue? Generally better to work with 302 until you're sure it's working correctly.
If that's not the case, I'll clone your setup here and see what happens.
Mike, thanks for the module, I just migrated a modx site to pw and am using this full on - running into trouble though.
When I input a jumplink it does a 302 and that is NOT good for google, I need them to be 301.
302 means google gets confused and that means my traffic hurts.
have you set a start or end time for the jumplink?
NO start and NO end date set anywhere, tnx!
