Sumdaymurse works as a CNA.
Hello Allnurses!!! I am new here. I have been lurking on this forum for quite some time, with the intent of trying to get my ever pressing questionings answered as far as nursing is concerned. I figured since I spend so much time here I might as well just join! I am still a student (pre-req's) and traveling down the road to become an RN. That said, most all of my post's at this point will most likely be questions regarding nursing or healthcare in general. Im super glad to be here and I have already received so much insight from reading other posts which I am definitely grateful for. Bless you all for your hard work and dedication!
So, a little background about myself: I am a 27yo male, I work in production for a pharmaceutical company in Irvine Ca. I have been at this company for going on 10 years. I enjoy what I do to an extent. Basically, I run a machine that produces IV's from saline to Heparin and am responsible for the overall quality and output of the units (33 bags/min). I work 12hrs/days 3-4 days a week and I adore my schedule and pay is decent (much more than I would be making as a CNA; I have an active license.) Being that I am pursing a career in nursing, and the fact that I have become so good at my job that it no longer keeps my attention ( im literally on this forum for 12hrs while at work) I am desperate to make a transition into direct patient care. I have 1 month experience as a CNA. But coupled with my full time job, learning a new job as a CNA, and taking pre-req's, I decided to quit the CNA gig as the stress of managing these three commitments was a little more than what I had anticipated. I did like the work, I felt free! Didn't mind the poo! I enjoyed talking to real people! I don't get much person to person interaction at my current job. Nonetheless, I am still struggling to leave my job simply due to the fact that Iv'e been there for so long and was recently promoted (same job more pay). I am often in regret over my decision to stay at this company for more pay seeing as how it is no longer fulfilling work for me, and I originally got my CNA cert. in order to accrue points for relative work experience which I could apply to the nursing program at my community college. My question is: Has anyone had similar struggles of transitioning from another profession into health care? How did you manage to make the transition? Would you leave your job with more seniority and benefits in order to pursue a career that you desired even if the pay was less?
Yeah!..I left a good paying engineering career to go into healthcare. At the end of the day, you gotta do what makes you happy. Humans need a purpose. If nursing is yours, take the plunge. Good luck!
Ohm108 has 1 years experience.
If you have a passion and interest in nursing, you will make it work. I left financial services to go into nursing after 10 years. I can honestly tell you that you will worry about money, insurance, retirement, compare yourself to your old colleagues that are getting promoted and going on vacation while you are studying for yet another pre-req and writing yet another application or statement response. There will always be sacrifices if you are working toward a goal because we live in a world with finite resources and time. You will have to give up something in order to be able to pursue said goal. But I know that I am working towards something that I will really enjoy and while I know I will never love my future job 100% everyday (because no job is perfect), I know that it will bring me more satisfaction which in itself is worth the paychecks I have missed out on these last few years. I can also see myself doing this until I retire which was not the case at my old job.
Now three years later, I am in my first year of NP school and I am learning a lot and enjoying my current maternity rotation. It does work out but it requires a bit of letting go and taking everything a step at a time. Good luck!
This is beautiful, thanks so much for the encouragement! Oh I definitely can't see myself doing what I'm doing now until I retire. Your other points make absolute sense!
Your courage and drive are just inspiring. Congratulations to you, and best wishes !!
Boy that takes guts! I know perhaps the grass might not be greener in some respects but the reason I've been at my current job for so long is due to the demand. CNA's are in demand all day long, but of course they work infinitely harder than I am right now. So while taking a pay cut sounds daunting, at least I won't have to worry about employment. Thanks for the advice, your awesome!


At 17,125, 200 square kilometers, Russia spanning 11 time zones, is the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area. RTRN is the only Russian terrestrial operator of the first and second multiplexes owning one of the largest broadcasting infrastructures in the world comprising of 5028 sites which are a part of the federal program of digitalization of Russia. Therefore, PROGIRA is proud to begin a long-term cooperation with RTRN.
Back in April 2018, PROGIRA, represented by its Technical Director Mats Ek and Area Manager Pavel Kokoshka, delivered extensive training at RTRN in Moscow. The training took place in the form of PROGIRA academy over four days. A range of topics, from basic to advanced in broadcast network planning, were covered. Colleagues from RTRN studied all the benefits of PROGIRA plan software, worked on current planning projects, and went through the theoretical aspects of professional network planning.
Besides installing PROGIRA plan, th professional network and frequency planning tool , PROGIRA is also working closely with RTRN to deliver a brand new tool which automates parts of PROGIRA plan, called PROGIRA plan for server. With this new application, RTRN can automatically receive a results of a coverage calculation and population coverage without the need to manually open any software, only by changing equipment parameters in the client database located on the server, RTRN will automatically get a coverage calculation result with a table of population points covered. PROGIRA Server based on ArcGIS Server will do all the work for you.
We hope that a new set of professional network and frequency planning software will help our Russian colleagues to better understand the current coverage, improve some problem zones as well as successfully fulfill the government program of the development of TV and radio broadcasting in the Russian Federation. PROGIRA is happy to be a part of it.

Ileodictyon is a genus of fungi in the family Phallaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are clathroid (resembling those in the genus Clathrus), emerging from egg-like peridia and forming spongy "arms" which connect to create a cage-like lattice. The basidiospores on the arms are covered by a foetid slime that attracts flies, the agents of spore dispersal. There are two named species and one currently unnamed. The unnamed species, called "the green cage fungus", is endemic to New Caledonia and is considered globally threatened. It is assessed as "endangered" on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The genus may have originated in Australia, New Zealand, and the southern Pacific islands, but species have been found worldwide (including Europe), probably as unintentional introductions.

[Metal Blade]
Back before the sulphur-well water in Florida made everyone go crazy and start a death metal band, five kids from Brandon got together and formed Nasty Savage, a band that (to me) wraps up everything good about heavy metal into one neat little package. Their "Wage of Mayhem" demo took the underground by storm in 1984, prompting Brian Slagel to sign them to Metal Blade, and in 1985 they went into Morrisound Studios (!) with Tom Morris (!) and cut this metal classic.
For those unfamiliar with the band, they seem to defy categorization, as they incorporated elements of most prevailing styles at the time. Basically, though, imagine classic early Priest/Scorpions style heavy metal, crank up the intensity a few notches to where it gets faster and more aggressive, add in some great twin-guitar work and a vocalist with a sheer OTT vocal style and stage show/image and you get Nasty Savage - and that's exactly what the debut sounded like. There were some straight-ahead thrashers ("Metal Knights", "Gladiator"), but both guitarists Ben Meyer and David Austin were good a writing odd-timed riffs and using ambitious arrangements to create songs that got out of the standard 'two verse/choruses, a bridge, and a solo' rut - songs like "No Sympathy" or "Garden of Temptation/Asmodeus" manage to cover a lot of musical ground.
Much like Mercyful Fate, if anything makes you love or hate this album, though, it'll be the vocals. "Nasty" Ronnie Galetti had a vocal style all his own - most of the lines are delivered in a 'melodramatic' midrange voice, but Ronnie also VERY often soared into high falsettos, and occasionally used some more gruff, low singing. A friend once likened his vocal delivery to the overacting of William Shatner - but like I said to the friend, "If you're a fan of Star Trek, do you care?" I certainly don't - overall, Nasty Savage always had an element of 'over-the-top' about them musically, and I think the vocals fit perfectly.
Basically, if you're into the whole mid-80s scene, when genres didn't matter as much as whether or not the music rocked, you'll like this album, because it fucking rocks.

Camping is one of the most peaceful, relaxing hobbies you can have.
Just you and nature, the water, the birds, the bugs... Unfortunately, Mother Nature comes as a package if you want to enjoy the trees and lakes. You have to suffer through the mosquitos and black flies.
Well not anymore, introducing our Hammock with a built-in bug netting.
Not only are hammocks more comfortable to sleep on than the ground, but they're also a fraction of the weight.
All that in one tiny little package.
With our high density, nylon mesh screening built-in, you won't have to worry about any bugs bothering you while you're trying to catch some afternoon rest.
Let the birds eat the bugs. You'll be eating whatever you want, in your hammock, bug-free!
Made with 100% parachute cloth, our hammock can take a beating and doesn't even budge.
Very good quality hammock. Easy to setup, easy to tak it down. Net really helps to keep mosquitos and bugs away.
I like this hammock because it is easy to set it in my back yard. My kids love to swing it and take rest inside. Plus it has a protective screen to prevent insects.
This product is perfect for backpacking! It is really light and doesn't take up much space. The netting is perfect for keeping flies and mosquitos off without having to use a chemical spray. I would definitely recommend this hammock.
I needed an upgrade from my old hammock that was falling apart, so I bought this one and was not disappointed! It is comfortable enough to sleep in and I love the net it comes with! Keeps the mosquitos and bugs out for when I want to take a nap outside and enjoy the nature around me. I cannot wait to use it more over the summer when I go camping! The hammock itself is lightweight and can be clipped to a backpack for convenience.
I find this really comfortable, and I love the extra width this provides compared to competitors (You could easily have two adults in this). It comes with an inner pocket for stashing your phone as well.

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part One' Review
by Dan Clark
Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Philip Seymour Hoffman , Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland | Written by Peter Craig, Danny Strong | Directed by Francis Lawrence
More is not always better. In recent years there has been a trend to extend franchises as long as possible in order to keep the guaranteed money flowing. Sometimes splitting the final book of a franchise into two films works, but most often it does not. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part One is another negative byproduct of this phenomenon. A series that was growing stronger is hindered by forces outside of the creative process.
What we are left with is a movie that is the equivalent of an extended trailer for the final installment—one that lacks the urgency and energy of the previous films. In addition failings of the previous installments become even clearer as many plot points are hinged upon story elements that were never firmly developed. Hopefully this is just one small misstep before the final curtain call.
We pick up shortly after Hunger Games: Catching Fire left off. The games are now over, but the war is just beginning. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and the rest of the rebels have fled underground to District 13 in order to begin their final takedown of the infectious Capital and President Snow. Their biggest weapon in this fight is not some sort of incendiary device, but rather the power of propaganda. That essential piece of propaganda is of course the Mockingjay herself Katniss Everdeen.
I have to hand it to a film like this to devote such a big chuck of its story on the social and political side of war. Rather than battle scene after battle scene we spend more time with the collateral damage of rebellion. We see the wounded, the countless bodies, and the complete destruction cities and districts face. More importantly we see how winning the battle does not always lead to winning the war.
Katniss however is more reluctant to be spokesperson for this new rebellion, and much of her animosity towards this idea is due to her feelings for fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). She is both upset he was left behind during their escape, and fearful her involvement will only further endanger his life.
Here is where a major issue begins. The Katniss and Peeta relationship throughout the film series has always been stale. It made sense on a strategic standpoint, but never did Jennifer Lawrence or Josh Hutcherson share any sort of chemistry. This arbitrarily conflict Katniss is facing of duty vs love is never as dynamic as the film needs it to be. No matter how intense Lawrence's performance is it does not matter when the context behind those feelings lack legitimacy.
Another element that has not been fully established is the world of The Hunger Games. How it functions, why it functions the way it does, and how the Hunger Games plays into maintaining its societal structure are all questions that have never fully been answered. We do get some quick explanations like President Snow describing the Capital as the heart of their society with each district bringing in the necessary supplies to keep it flowing, and in return those districts receive protection. While we get these broad strokes, the minutia is never explored.
We have never been invested in the world of the Hunger Games we were invested in the people. It appears the film itself is even aware of this. In a scene we see characters discussing moments in which Katniss has truly moved them. Each of these whether it be her volunteering to save her sister or her relationship with Rue in the first film were all intimate human moments. As the stakes of have increased to this world saving venture that intimacy has been lost.
One positive element that does remain is the number of intriguing characters. Unsurprisingly the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a huge bright spot as Plutarch Heavensbee. He is this propaganda puppet master who revels in his role of selling this rebellion. He works as a great counterbalance to Julian Moore who is new to the franchise in the role of the purposely stale President Alma Coin. She is this void of charisma the clearly needs the assistance of Plutarch and Katniss to allow this rebellion to gain steam.
As mentioned previously the biggest hindrance Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part One faces is its structure. Trying to make two distinct movies from one story is like trying to make a meal with half the ingredients but expecting the same result. So what you are left with is a story that can never find its proper pacing. It has this hurry up and wait mentality that continually kills the momentum. Scenes drag on longer than they should just to get to a proper run time. When it finally feels like we are heading to something meaningful we are left to wait for the next installment. Hopefully when we finally get there this will all be worth it.

Q: Embed Code in Drupal I am not familiar with Drupal but our clients report that what we provide as embed isn't working with drupal.
Our embed code will be
<iframe id="ivideoframe" src="https://mywebsite/Player.aspx?q=IsahXh4JBPTq9sc%252b2j4zmaJvfFIagPpqAIBQIZpQTGUxPzzL8g44uVrsRGGRbDnSk5IO3kBeGI%252b211on7BfXBL6UjrXe%252fI%252bhftSaavtHay8%253d" height="419" width="665" toolbar="no" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
What I understand from client is the query string letter "?q" has some issue with drupal. Can some one help me to understand how this code will result in error when used in drupal?

A: If you are putting this embedded code into a block, or a CCK field of some sort (body, text, etc), you'll want to make sure that the "Text Format" is set to either Full HTML or one that allow the use of full html.
Even Full HTML can sometimes be buggy with iFrame's, I've found.  We've found the best practice is to actually create your own Text Format called "Raw HTML" that allows everything and doesn't try to format things at all.  You can create it at [Admin --> Configuration --> Content authoring --> Text Formats].
Then once you've created the format, simply choose that custom format on the field that contains the iFrame embed code.

This usually prompts an in-depth conversation about what metric the sustainability team members are trying to influence in their employee engagement program. Are they trying to drive up participation in the overall program or do they just want to drive adoption of specific behaviors? Do they want rewards to influence the perception of the overall culture and values of the company? How committed is senior-level leadership? And, of course, the operational concerns: What's their budget? Who is going to handle communication, tracking and fulfillment, and how?
In our experience, rewards and incentives can be effective, but they're not one-size-fits-all. Some rewards programs work very well for some employees, but not for others. Some programs influence one specific type of behavior but don't work well for changing other behaviors. Some may drive up short-term participation in the program but don't create meaningful change. And some just don't work well at all — or worse, they send conflicting messages about the corporate culture and the sustainability program.
So what's the best way for a head of sustainability to think about the different options and create the right choices for the company? Here is a summary of the different types of rewards and some best practices for rewards programs shared by sustainability leaders at a diverse range of companies.
Some companies offer incentives for specific actions they want employees to take, ranging from subsidies for hybrid cars and Energy Star appliances to free Zipcar memberships.
In these programs, employees are given status in the organization for certain actions or achievements. Status can range from earning a sticker for achieving a "certified green office" to being named a sustainability champion and getting invited to an exclusive pizza lunch with the president of the company.
Bonus programs tie financial rewards, either as part of the overall company compensation plan or as an extra bonus, to achieving specific sustainability metrics. Bonuses can be tied to individual performance or participation or to company achievements as a whole.
Particularly popular in wellness programs -- and researched heavily in that sector -- these programs create a currency that employees can earn for doing specific actions. They can then trade in the currency for actual products or services.
While some companies focus on one type of reward, the most transformational programs actually tend to include more than one component. For example, EnerNOC created a corporate and personal sustainability program to challenge employees to make greener choices as well as to provide educational resources to support those choices.

EnerNOC sets sustainability goals for overall participation and personal actions taken. Employees can earn points for engaging in new sustainable activities such as carpooling, using public transportation, recycling and investing in energy efficiency measures at home, as well as other sustainability or conservation-oriented activities. The rewards they earn are then tied to a portion of individual year-end bonuses, which "has definitely been a motivating experience," says Veronica Willette, who runs the program day to day. The company also offers additional green benefits such as a fuel-efficient vehicle allowance, a Zipcar discount and Energy Star appliance reimbursements.
Organic Valley has also created an employee growth incentive program that rewards employees for personal and professional growth as well as for contributing to their community. The program started with organic education and grew into a wide variety of training, wellness, community service and sustainability initiatives. The company awards points for activities ranging from attending brown bag readings and movies to using the company vanpool to getting an energy audit. At the end of the year, these points are worth cash.
Money tends to be a big inspiration, but Organic Valley's sustainability project coordinator Evan Roberts says that recognition also plays an essential role in motivating their employees. They use a monthly newsletter and company-wide meetings to highlight employees who are engaged in their sustainability program. "Recognition definitely drives behavior. I think that our employees that are recognized become 'green heroes' within the organization. Other employees go to them with questions," he says.
Cynthia Curtis, chief sustainability officer of CA Technologies, also emphasizes the importance of recognition. CA created a Green Star award, given out as part of the company's broader rewards program. Each quarter, an individual or team – from CA's global operations, including Latin America, Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa -- gets the Green Star, based on how the individual or team has taken on an initiative or engaged in something "above and beyond" that will help the company reach its sustainability goals. The award is $500 in cash, along with gift certificates and a hand-blown glass star.
In addition to the Green Star award, CA offers green benefits and is rolling out a comprehensive employee sustainability platform (full disclosure: it's working with my company, Practically Green).
Whether top-down or bottom-up, integration into the culture is a critical aspect of success for sustainability rewards and recognition programs. "We've found it's critical to leverage an existing program that's in place as opposed to creating a whole new something that doesn't follow the same processes. The program shouldn't be separate and apart, but integral to how we do business," CA's Curtis says.
The good news is clear: Rewards and incentives, when connected to the culture and appropriate to the behavior change a company wants, can be an important component of an effective sustainability engagement program. And, as evidenced, there are many ways to reward.
As you navigate the choices and decide which approach makes sense for your company and employees, there's one last thing to keep in mind: Practitioners agree that the place to start is with what already exists. Sounds obvious, but it's true. When you tap into the reward structure that is already in place, engagement in sustainability is seen as an integrated part of the overall employee experience, not some separate, bolted-on program. And that's its own reward — for the head of sustainability!

NYPD disperses protest encampment outside City Hall
11:36 AM EDT, Wed July 22, 2020
Lauren del Valle, CNN
A protest encampment outside New York City's City Hall was dispersed early Wednesday morning by New York Police Department officers in riot gear, according to the NYPD.
Several hundred officers dispersed the remaining protesters after a nearly month-long encampment that started with protesters demanding that the NYPD be defunded, NYPD Commissioner of Operations Ray Spinella said in a press conference Wednesday.
Facing pressure from thousands of constituents, New York City did ultimately slash $1 billion from the police budget about a week into the protest encampment.
The approved budget reallocated some duties and millions of dollars in associated funding from the NYPD to the Department of Education, the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene and the Department of Homeless Services.
Protesters were given a ten-minute warning before the officers moved in around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The process was peaceful and most left voluntarily, Spinella said.
"We felt the time had come to end occupation and allow clean up crews to begin the process of removing the graffiti," Spinella told reporters.
Seven people were arrested during the operation and one officer was struck by a brick, but not injured, he said.
CNN has reached out to police for clarity on the charges under which the arrests were made.
The area will be closed for several weeks as city workers clean and remove graffiti protesters spray painted on public buildings, Spinella said.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has said that encampments are not permitted in New York City and his administration monitored the encampment balancing that policy with the right to protest.
"It's an American value to respect the right to protest. I've also said we don't allow encampments around this city. We haven't for years, unlike the past. It's something we have to assess because this is not like the other types of situations we've seen historically," the mayor said during a press conference on Tuesday.
The encampment, however, is a public safety concern, de Blasio said.
"There is a balance we always strike between the right to protest and especially public safety. And I always put public safety first while respecting constitutional rights," he said.

My flock consists of about 200 purebred White Dorper ewes and about a dozen purebred Kiko goats. I use exclusively purebred registered White Dorper rams from Lewis White Dorpers to breed my ewes. All my sheep are commercial sheep that thrive on pasture without any grain ever. They are not registered, they are meant to make a profit for the farmer and are not meant for the show ring. My sheep are hoof rot free. They are used to electric fencing and herding dogs as well as guard dogs.
Click on the images to view in larger format.
Purebred White Dorper (WD) ewe lambs: $300 each*. My purebred WD ewe lambs will shed and will breed out of season or will have a very long breeding season. Shedding is guaranteed. More than 80% of all ewe lambs sold will be twin- and triplet-born. Almost all of their mothers are twin-born or triplet-born themselves, the exception being ewes that were born to a ewe less than one year at breeding and lambing for the first time. Ewe lambs born in the spring can be exposed to the ram at age 7 to 10 months. If managed properly, most of them will breed at that time.
*Picked up at the farm, price does not include health certificate needed for out-of-state sales.
I sell purebred White Dorper ram lambs, all sired by registered rams from Lewis White Dorper. These rams are full shedders. I select the top twenty percent of all born ram lambs for breeding purpose. Further selection takes place as these ram lambs grow up. Any ram lamb that doesn't meet the high standard will be culled and will become a market lamb. Usually, only twin-born rams are selected with the occasional exception being a single-born ram lamb out of a twin-born ewe that lambs for the very first time.
If you also purchase ewe lambs, I can select a ram lamb for you that is unrelated to these ewe lambs that you can use him to breed these ewes.
*Picked up at the farm. Price does not include health certificate needed for out-of-state sales. A discount is offered if more than one ram lamb is being purchased and will depend on the number of ram lambs purchased.
A few years ago I added a small number of Kiko goats to my flock of sheep. Goats are known to browse more than they graze which makes them excellent for weed control where sheep fail. These goats eat down the vines growing along my woven wire fence and eat down other invasive weeds like Tartarian honeysuckle and Spotted Knapweed. Many goat breeds are less hardy than sheep and therefore add labor to a sheep enterprise. I find these Kiko goats as the hardiest goat breed I have encountered and yet the easiest going breed that fits in with sheep. But make no mistake, a goat is still a goat. If you have a hole in the fence, a goat will find it.

text: Geraldyne Barbour, president of the African American Heritage Commission of Lenoir County, captivated members of the commission and the community before the commission's ribbon cutting ceremony at the Chamber. Barbour spoke of the Lenoir County commission's heritage of art and music and its first Funk Festival last May, but she challenged the community to not look at the commission for its music and art only. She said the organization's mission is to make the world a better place and also "make this corner of the world – Kinston and Lenoir County – a better place." She said the way to make the Kinston a better place is to understand people are human beings and to not judge the color of someone's skin. Barbour then spoke of the commission's hopes to find a building to conduct meetings and house the African American art and other artifacts. If you know of a building the commission can use, or if you want to join the commission, contact Barbour at 252-523-9134.

B1G/ACC CHALLENGE
The conferences match up at four sites today – Chapel Hill, N.C.; Durham, N.C.; Iowa City, Iowa, and Lafayette, Ind. Even split on the sites with the first two being in ACC country and the latter two on Big Ten fields. Ironically, I'm envisioning splits all around, between the conferences overall and between the conference winners at the conference-specific sites.
In other words, each conference wins two games and each has one road team win. The home winner, for me, seems easy. It's Iowa beating Pittsburgh. The Hawkeyes just might be the cream of the B1G West Division crop when all is said and done. I see Virginia Tech pounding host Purdue. The other two, tough one. Both Illinois and No. 23 Northwestern are great stories, and one of them is an alma mater … but I think the other is the more likely to win on the road with the Wildcats topping Duke and the Illini falling at North Carolina. Of course, I'd be happy if that vibe were proven wrong.
KINDA CONFUSING
Much has been made of the SEC's collective hiccup last week with three of its team falling, and then dropping out of the national polls, and another limping out of the top 10 following an embarrassing win. Now everyone seems to be pointing to this week as an opportunity for the circuit to prove itself with No. 15 Ole Miss at No. 2 Alabama, No. 18 Auburn at No. 13 LSU, and South Carolina at No. 7 Georgia.
Umm, how does the SEC prove itself in games that have its members facing each other?
CONTENDER 2 PRETENDER?
Don't see No. 19 Brigham Young having any future in the playoff race after tonight. The Cougars visit No. 10 UCLA, and I highly doubt any Hail Marys will be able to save them this week. The Bruins are quietly building a powerful program under Jim Mora – which seems impossible considering their prime-time location in Los Angeles, but, it is what it is. Plus, UCLA freshman QB Josh Rosen is the real deal.
Gotta say this for Bill Cubit, he has some serious taste in attire. Just three games into his reign as Illinois head coach, and the Illini have looked consistently sharper with what they wear than they ever seemed to under Tim Beckman. Today's getup is orange-white-orange, and looks even better than UNC's white-blue-white – which ain't easy to do.
HEISMAN HOPEFUL
As Temple looks to go 3-0 for the first time in 35 years, keep an eye on junior RB Jahad Thomas. Ranked third in FBS in rushing with 328 yards, he has been a revelation to a ground attack that, frankly, had been a hold-up in the Owls' development under Matt Rhule. He's also a dangerous special teamer, as evidenced by last week's 100-yard kickoff return TD.
Temple's What 2 Watch vs. Massachusetts
GILLETTE STADIUM, 3 P.M., ESPN3, 97.5 FM THE FANATIC
1. Focus and attitude. Considering their 2-0 start against, let's face it, much higher-level competition, the Owls might be a little lax at the outset this afternoon, but they better avoid a full-game lull – if only for one thing: UMass can move the ball. In doing so, it also may rack up some points, or keep Temple from doing so. In other words, focus and attitude, at some point, needs to be there for the visiting Owls, or they could take a major step back – in program growth and how it is viewed by others. Yeah, the Minutemen got whacked last week on the road at Colorado, but they also rolled up close to 400 yards on offense. Temple won't be able to just show up and receive a gift "W."
2. The Owls passing game. OK, we get it, in order to beat the likes of Penn State and American Athletic Conference favorite Cincinnati, Temple may have had to play it close to the vest and/or go with the hot hand, which, obviously, was RB Jahad Thomas toting the rock to 328 yards, which places him third in the nation among FBS runners after two weekends of football. But if they're going to push the limits on this thing in 2015 and make a run at the best possible record they can have, the Owls are going to have to open it up, or show they can, in order to hang with/beat the likes of Memphis, East Carolina and Notre Dame. A couple of P.J. Walker to Robby Anderson aerial bombs today would be a nice kick-start.
3. The DL getting some pressure on Minutemen QB Blake Frohnapfel. Dude's name may be a bit odd, but his game is "money," so much so that an NFL future looks to be in the offing. A year ago, he racked up 3,345 yards and 23 TDs passing, and his physical gifts suggest he is capable of much more, and the Owls would be wise to get to him as quickly and often as possible in order to delay that pending explosion at least a week. Taking him down once they do, though, may be a bit of a problem since he stands 6-6 and weighs 240. The UMass OL doesn't figure to be as awesome as Cincy's last week, which, for their sake, hopefully helps the Owls … because they barely laid a hand on Bearcats QB Gunner Kiel.
4. Owls CB Sean Chandler vs. UMass WR Tajae Sharpe. Regardless of how successful Temple is at applying heat up front, Chandler will get tested throughout this one since he figures to match up with Sharpe most of the time. The Minutemen senior had 85 catches for 1,241 yards last season and hauled in 11 passes from Frohnapel for 138 yards last week against the Buffaloes. Chandler, the Owls' only freshman starter last season, has been rock-solid since arriving from Camden High, just a short drive over the Ben Franklin Bridge from Temple's campus. He had seven tackles and two pass breakups last week in Cincy. Today would be a good one to get his second career INT.
5. Something more than a "sighting" of DE Praise Martin-Oguike. Not for nothing, but this guy needs to be more than mention in the "participated" section of the stat sheet each week if Temple is going to reach its full potential this season. The guy, according to Owls head coach Matt Rhule, has NFL-type talent and thus far doesn't even have a single tackle in 2015. He led the team in sacks a year ago and ranked third in tackles for loss. Yo, PMO, buddy, it's time to step it up … and no better time to do so than the present. Being slowed by any number of nagging injuries can't be an excuse for what many feel is an elite athlete, sorry.
6. Respect. Now that the Owls are starting to get some, locally and nationally, including mention on this morning's ESPN hypefest headed by Kirk Herbstreit, pay attention to the types of crowds who come out to see Temple play … and the comments made about the team and Rhule. So far, more than 105,000 have seen the Owls in person through two weeks this season, and you have to wonder what the turnout will be like in New England. The danger with getting known and getting accolades is this: Rhule will be a wanted man by more respected programs now Don't be surprised if that gets talked about on TV today while the game is going on – and continues each week as long as the Owls keep winning.

A community vigil will be held Thursday for Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie at 6 p.m. at St. Michael's Catholic Church, in Naco.
Ivie was shot and killed while on patrol early Tuesday morning.
Funeral services have also been scheduled for the slain agent. A service will be held 10 a.m. Monday at an LDS Church in Sierra Vista.
Family spokesperson Kevin Goates said that the event is intended for the family and that no cameras or recording devices will be allowed, but that "nobody will be turned away" and arrangements are being made for overflow in case attendance exceeds the building's capacity.
Goates also announced Thursday that a fund has been established to support the family. Contributions can be made through the National Bank of Arizona or through Utah's Zion National Bank by mentioning the Nicholas Ivie Memorial Fund.
Ivie,30, is survived by a wife, Christy, and two daughters, one and four years old.
In addition to Monday's services in Sierra Vista, the family is planning services in Utah later in the week.

Q: Angular2 - npm install didn't find namespace webdriver After reinitiating an Angular2 project, I've launch the command npm install and got the following error :
node_modules/protractor/built/browser.d.ts(258,37): error TS2503: Cannot find namespace 'webdriver'

Anyone knows where it comes from/ how can I fixed it ?
Thanking you,

A: Update 21-12-2016: This is fixed as of protractor 4.0.14.
protractor has a dependency on selenium-webdriver:
'@types/selenium-webdriver': '~2.53.31',
unfortunately, https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/13382 was merged yesterday and released as 2.53.37.
Temporary fix : manually installing version 2.53.36 fixes the problem until protractor releases a new version incorporating the changes from the selenium-webdriver package.
npm install @types/selenium-webdriver@2.53.36 --save-dev

and remove the dev dependency as soon as protractor is fixed.
There is a PR pending in : https://github.com/angular/protractor/pull/3848

A: For those still experiencing issues after upgrading to Protractor 4.0.14, I found that my classes that referenced webdriver now required an import statement:
import webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

Hope that helps anyone with the same issue.

WATCH: Warwick Rowers unleash oar-some 2018 naked calendar
By Newsdesk 14th November 2017 14th November 2017 Celebrity / News / UK
World famous Warwick Rowers finally release 2018 naked charity calendar!
This year the Rowers – all students from the Warwick University rowing team – took themselves to outstanding garden locations in the UK and Spain for a ten-day shoot, resulting in a series of incredible images and a cheeky campaign video!
The Rowers aren't just getting undressed for the sake of it: there's a serious message behind the nudity. The money raised from the calendar goes towards helping end homophobia in sport.
Sales of Warwick Rowers products have enabled the foundation, Sport Allies, a registered charity promoting greater LGBT inclusion and more gender equality in sport. The rowers – who all class themselves as allies – believe sport should help fulfil potential, regardless of gender or sexuality.
A recent report by Sport Allies, launched in the House of Commons by Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee chair Damian Collins, suggested homophobic language should be banned in sport at all levels to make the pitch, field, court or river a more welcoming place for LGBT people.
The Warwick Rowers first released a calendar in 2009 to raise funds for the university boat club. The shoot took place in one day, in the freezing cold, and it raised a lowly £300. Now it raises a six-figure sum every year, with celebrity fans including Kris Jenner, Kylie Minogue and Sir Ian McKellen.
In addition to the calendar, priced at £14.99, Warwick Rowers fans can pick up behind-the-scenes films of the photoshoots in England and Spain, as well as a coffee table book, a brand new designer onesie that means everyone can be a Warwick Rower, and a twelve month digital subscription – new to 2018 – which means the Warwick Rowers are not just for Christmas!
Angus Malcolm, producer of the Warwick Rowers calendar and LGBT rights activist, said:
"This year's project was a huge collaborative effort, but the lads were happy to get naked for ten whole days to make sure we made the 2018 calendar the best one yet.
"The Warwick Rowers fan base, not surprisingly, is mainly women and gay men, so every year we give back by donating money to Sport Allies, a charity founded on the back of support from the calendar, to challenge homophobia and gender bias in sport. It is a topic we address in detail in the Sport Allies report, 'Homophobia, Gender and Sporting Culture'."
