Water Deal Provides Less Costly, More Reliable Supplies
September 24, 2018 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Andrea Mora /The Daily Transcriptby Mark Muir Mentioned: San Diego County Water Authority
A historic achievement for San Diego County passed mostly under the radar this summer when the San Diego County Water Authority's Board of Directors approved wholesale rates for 2019. The rate increases were among the lowest in 15 years — but that's just part of the story. The critical long-term accomplishment highlighted by the rate-setting process was that the Water Authority's independent water supplies from the Colorado River are now both less expensive and more reliable than supplies from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. That's a goal the region's water officials started working towards two decades ago, and one that will bear fruit for decades to come.

One Year Anniversary Of City Of Riverside-Western Municipal Water District's Successful Partnership
September 24, 2018 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Ed Joyce /California Water News Daily
It's been one year since the City of Riverside and Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) executed a Regional Water Partnership deal that allowing WMWD to purchase surplus Riverside groundwater supplies that are part of the City's Court-adjudicated water right in the San Bernardino Basin Area. In its first calendar year, the partnership has resulted in a $2.6 million savings for Western and $4.5 million in revenue for the City. It has also brought an additional 2.4 billion gallons of local groundwater to WMWD's customers, which is enough annual water supply for about 15,000 single-family homes. The deal will also help keep water rates as low as possible in the years to come for both agencies.

Down Year Predicted For California Olives After Weather Confuses Crops
September 24, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /CBS (Sacramento)
Olive harvest season is getting started in California and farmers are concerned this could be one of the worst in recent memory. California leads the nation in olive oil production, but now there may be a shortage. It's a significant setback for a growing industry just two years removed from its largest crop.

Shasta Dam To Raise Over 18 Feet
September 24, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Ed Joyce /Action News Now (Chico)by Stephanie Schmieding
Construction is currently underway to raise the height of the Shasta Dam by 18 and a half feet, a project that has been decades in the making. The stage of pre-construction is expected to take place in the next few months. Geologists have already begun drilling for core samples on and around the dam to determine the engineering needs for construction. "The cores provide concrete-strict data that contractors would then use for determining how to anchor the new 18 and a half feet onto the existing surface," said Jon Bader, manager for the Bureau of Reclamation in Northern California.

New Desalination Plant On Hold
September 24, 2018 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Ed Joyce /Voice Of San Diegoby Ry Rivard
Plans to build a new plant at Camp Pendleton to make ocean water drinkable are on hold, in part due to falling demand for water, thanks to state-urged conservation efforts. The San Diego County Water Authority had spent $5.4 million on the now-abandoned plan, though it says technical studies it's already done could be used in the future.

OPINION: Long Road Still Ahead To Fund New California Water Storage Projects
September 24, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Andrea Mora /Water Deeply (New York)by Jay Lund
The California Water Commission recently allocated $2.7 billion from Proposition 1 bonds for eight water storage projects. Proposition 1 was passed in 2014 to fund a range of projects, including the "public purposes" of water storage projects, such as for ecosystem support, flood risk reduction, water quality, recreation and emergency response. Among its many funding provisions, both surface and underground water storage projects were eligible, nonstorage projects were not eligible and Proposition 1 could fund no more than 50 percent of storage project costs. Proposition 1's storage provisions were driven by the still common notion that expanding surface storage is the major way to end water problems.

OPINION: Prop. 3 Promises More California Water Projects. Too Bad So Many Are The Wrong Projects
September 24, 2018 /in California and the U.S., Media Coverage /by Andrea Mora /The Sacramento Bee
We must do more to protect the future of California's water, but that doesn't mean just pumping in more money without making sure the investments will have widespread benefits for the public. Proposition 3 – the $8.9 billion bond on the Nov. 6 ballot – fails that test. Voters should say "no." The measure promises money for quite a few local agencies, nonprofits, private water companies and others, which is great for them. It's not clear, however, that these are the projects that California needs most right now, or that they couldn't get the money elsewhere.

Los Angeles Reduces Eastern Sierra Water Deliveries Because Of Climate Change. At Risk, Ranchers Say, Is A Way Of Life
September 24, 2018 /in Media Coverage, San Diego County /by Andrea Mora /Los Angeles Timesby Louis Sahagun
The lush plains east of Yosemite National Park offer a window into a bygone California — a place where sage grouse welcome the arrival of spring with theatrical mating rituals and cattle graze on verdant pastures. For nearly a century, these lands have been made green thanks to annual flooding by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, helping maintain cattle forage and keeping alive a culture of ranching in southern Mono County. But those days may have come to an end in August.

Summary: Jesus suffered and died for us. Jesus offers up a prayer in John 17 that shows His desire for us and His joy in obeying the Father through much suffering.
A) Verses 1-3: The time has come: The Father will Glorify His Son; Eternal life is only through Jesus.
B') Verses 20-23: Jesus prays for complete Unity amongst His own as a sign that God has sent Him. He has given glory to His own.
Note that this text can be structured in many other smaller chiasms, parallels, etc.
Compare with Galatians 3:13 - 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
Jesus' first request was about Himself, but it wasn't selfish -- it was a plea for the Glory of the Father.
He lifted up His eyes to Heaven -- the publican looked down in Luke 18.
- Confidence: Jesus had no separation between Him and the Father. As a result, we can approach the Father through Him with confidence and boldness, as well (cf. Hebrews 4:14-16).
2 cf. Matthew 28:18 - Authority given to Jesus.
Issue of election: cf. John 10:16 - there are lost sheep yet to come into the fold, and we as His Disciples are responsible for evangelism!
Jesus has completed the work which the Father gave Him to do.
cf. John 8:28 - 28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
cf. John 12:47-50 - 47 "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. 49 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."
11 Jesus knew that He had a limited time. He understood the Father's Will.
12 One doomed to destruction: Judas?
Note that this difficult prayer has its center in Joy.
Note that this prayer is also permeated with God's glory.
Jesus suffered and died for us. Jesus offers up a prayer in John 17 that shows His desire for us and His joy in obeying the Father through much suffering.

Q: calculated field in tableau dependent on values in column I'm new to Tableau so could have this all wrong, i'm trying to create a calculated field which works out the percentage of 'completed' tasks.
My data looks like
Date |   Department | Task |  Task Status       |  Number of Items
5/11      HR           one    one (complete)        5
5/11      HR           one    one (in progress)     3
5/11      HR           one    one (not started)     1
5/11      HR           two    two (complete)        3
5/11      HR           two    two (in progress)     6
5/11      HR           two    two (not started)     9
5/11      Finance      one    one (complete)        3
5/11      Finance      one    one (in progress)     2
5/11      Finance      one    one (not started)     8

I'm trying to work out the percentage of completed tasks for each department so for example in HR it is 8/27 tasks are completed. This data is updated every week so i'd like to know it for the most recent date. There are only 2 tasks. What I have so far is
IF [Date] == #05/11#
THEN
SUM(IF [Task Status] == 'one (complete)' OR [Task Status] =='two (complete)' THEN [Number of Items]
END)
/SUM([Number of Items]
END

However it is throwing a 'Cannot mix aggregate and non-aggregate comparison or results in IF expressions.' error
can anyone point me in the right direction?

A: You are working at level of aggregation shown at level of detail.  Therefore you need to add LOD calculated field here.  Do it like this-
{FIXED [Date], [Department] : sum(IF [Task Status] = 'one (complete)' OR [Task Status] ='two (complete)' THEN
[Number of Items] End)}/{FIXED [Date], [Department] : sum([Number of Items])}

sample data given

Adding this field in front of date and department column, in a view, will give you desired ratio.

Good luck
p.s. this will give you ratio for every date.  If you need this ratio for one date, filter out other dates from view

A: 2 options.

*

*Wrap [Date] in ATTR(), so it would be IF ATTR([Date])=...

*Rewrite your calculation and make use of boolean calculations:

SUM(INT([Date] == #05/11# AND RIGHT([Task Status],10)="(complete)"))/SUM(INT([Date] == #05/11#))

Recently bought my first Navara being the adventura and it comes with the built in cd changer sat nav unit.
I'm really hoping I can replace this with a modern double DIN unit so I can use DAB radio etc.
I've run into trouble when I've disconnected the unit as it seems to have triggered some sort of immobiliser that makes a weird two tone beeping when turning the key in the ignition.
I suspect that somebody may have fitted some sort of aftermarket security as I cannot seem to find anything regarding this noise and none of the usual tricks work to make it start.
1) has anybody else come across this weird noise and lockdown?
2) can an aftermarket stereo be fitted to this model if if change the centre console or is the original head unit coded to the immobilser??
If anyone has. Managed to fit one I'd massively appreciate the advice!!
Any chance of a recording of the noise?
Had a good mechanic look at it and someone has previously fitted an aftermarket immobiliser. Luckily he's now bypassed it so that would explain the strange noise.
Hopefully the stereo goes in without a problem.
Did you make your own mounts or get a set of another D40?
Well managed to get the brackets from a scrap yard and the new stereo is up and running.
It's all pioneer gear including a reversing camera I'm yet to wire up.
Has anyone installed one of these?
I'm guessing I have to branch into the reverse light wiring so the camera automatically comes on at the unit??
Into 3rd gear and pulling like a train!
Double din head units slot straight in to a D40. Over time I have come to choose Pumpkin Android head units. The best in my opinion. No crashing, tested and reliable with excellent after sales back up.
I should have said before, Pioneer are great units, excellent quality, just not great value in comparison to the Pumpkin Android. Which are faster, have better memory, way more functions, certainly a lot more connections and flexibility. But, the Pioneer looks nicer!
Where do you generally run the cable for the camera?

The Oldest Wartime Leaders in History
Whether it is running the affairs of state or directing complicated military maneuvers, age has not necessarily been a hindrance to wartime leadership. (These are the countries with the oldest leaders.)
To compile a list of the oldest wartime leaders in history, 24/7 Tempo consulted sources including Britannica and Historynet. Besides leaders of nations, we included significant military leaders who either commanded armies or navies into advanced age during wartime and/or held positions of military power into their elder years.
Some of the leaders on our list were called out of retirement to serve their nations when they were in the 80s. Paul Von Hindenburg, who was recalled from retirement to rescue the German Army on the Eastern Front in WWI, returned from retirement again in 1925 to serve as the Weimar Republic's president until his death in 1934 at age 87. French WWI hero Henri-Philippe Pétain was pulled out of retirement to become "chief of state" by the collaborationist Vichy government after France collapsed in WWII.
Monarchs of three nations – the Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway – served their countries during both world wars. The sovereigns of the Netherlands and Norway rallied their people while they were in exile during WWII. King Christian X stayed in Denmark during the German occupation. His defiance put him in a prison in 1943 where he remained for the rest of the war. All three monarchs would return in triumph.
Two military leaders in Asia with long and distinguished military careers reset the Western perception of Asian strategic ability. Tōgō Heihachirō was the 57-year-old admiral whose tactics led the Japanese fleet to victory over the Russian Navy's Baltic fleet in the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 and '05. (Here are 20 wars Russia has fought since 1917.)
Click here to see the oldest wartime leaders in history
Võ Nguyên Giáp led Vietnamese forces against the Japanese during WWII, defeated the French in the First Indochina War (1946-54), and, when he was 63 years old, authored the North Vietnamese triumph over America's South Vietnamese allies in the Vietnam War.
Some of these wartime leaders fought until the very end. Prince Mikhail Illarionovich Golenishchev-Kutuzov died from disease at 67 years old in 1813 leading Russian troops in pursuit of Napoleon's legions after France withdrew from Moscow.

Matt Patten, Jim Kaminski win Strongsville Ward 1 City Council primary, will face off in November
Strongsville City Councilman Matt Patten will face challenger Jim Kaminski in the November general election for the Ward 1 City Council seat. (Bob Sandrick, special to cleveland.com)
By Bob Sandrick, special to cleveland.com
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- Ward 1 City Councilman Matt Patten will face challenger Jim Kaminski in the November 2019 general election.
That's what voters decided in the May 7 primary election last week. According to unofficial results from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Patten received 41.4 percent of the vote and Kaminski received 38.2 percent. Patten garnered 1,043 votes and Kaminski received 963.
A third candidate, Brian Spring, was eliminated from contention. He received 515 votes, which represented 20.4 percent of the total Ward 1 vote. Only the top two candidates will advance to the general election.
Patten said he was honored by, and grateful for, the primary election results.
"I am going to continue to work hard for the residents of Ward 1 by remaining available and responsive, (and) devoting my energy to keeping the city of Strongsville the outstanding community we know it to be, now and in the future," Patten said in an email to cleveland.com.
Kaminski said he, too, was honored, adding that he was glad all three primary candidates ran clean and professional races.
"My focus is on listening to the residents of Ward 1," Kaminski said. "I've come across common themes, like the need for sound barriers along the (Ohio) Turnpike. The north end continues to be an issue as to how it appears as you come into town. That revitalization project is important to the residents."
Patten, 41, was appointed by council in December to fill a seat vacated by the late Michael Daymut. Patten served in the Ohio House of Representatives, District 18, in 2009 and 2010.
Patten is a labor-management coordinator with Laborers' International Union of North America Ohio. He lives on Sagamore Circle with his wife, Katherine, and their children Ella,16, Nicholas, 14, Jack, 12, and Gabrielle, 9.
Kaminski, 53, is a member of the Strongsville Planning Commission, an appointed body. He was a Strongsville councilman-at-large from 2002-2008.
Kaminski is a sales team leader at Kellogg's. He lives on Eldorado Trail with his wife, Mary. Their children are James Jr., 30, Mike, 28, Sarah, 27 and Jon, 24.

Indian OS aims to compete with iOS and Android
By Dibbyyan Nath
Government officials, IT companies and academia are working on an initiative to develop a mobile operating system for India called IndOS. According to reports, a high-ranking government source has revealed that, in addition to providing a safer experience, this new Indian operating system will also provide users with more options and give a healthy competition to tech giants like Google and Apple. This number of aspects makes this a fascinating development
*#IndOS is an @iitmadras
Linkd #Startups #OS "Made-in-India" Operating System To Rival #Android And #iOS
*If developed will represent choice & competition in device space at a time
When India is rapidly growng as Trusted electronics Partner.#IndiaTechade pic.twitter.com/5XIwQVTa2e
— Ajit kumar (@connectajitcpr) January 20, 2023
Google's Android has a market share of over 97 percent, compared to Apple's iOS, which has a very modest share. The government initially called it IndOS, according to the source. Either Google or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) should take the lead in implementing new safety measures for users when side loading apps. According to the reports, a high-ranking government official in India has stated that the organization's ultimate goal is the development of a trustworthy mobile OS.
Security has consistently been an issue for Android phone makers, according to the report. Since Android is Google's product, the mobile maker company trusts Google with the security responsibility whereas the role of a mobile device manufacturer is limited to device production and customer support
According to the sources, Android phone manufacturers think that users would feel more safe and secure with a "Desi" Android OS. There is speculation that Google's anti-competitive practices could result in it being forced later to change its Android model. At the moment, Google is giving Android OS away for free to OEMs in exchange for having their services and apps pre-installed on every Android smartphone

Post yesterday's crazy snow storm, I was out exploring today and walked south from Central Park down Fifth Avenue and around the front of the Plaza Hotel, just because. Right across from the Plaza's posh entrance, on West 58th Street, there sits this mythic Bull Statue by the great Pablo Picasso, which was added in 2000 to what is actually the north facade of The Solow Building, also referred to as 9 West 57th Street.
I like that there is still some snow on the Bull's horns.
Update: I'm adding a photo taken on February 19th, 2017, which gives you some perspective of exactly where this Bull is located!
← Food Fête Winter 2015: The Ultimate Recap!
That is not a bull and not by Picasso. It's by Miró and it's one of the casts of the Moonbird. it's not the only one. Google "miro moonbird" and you'll see that there are a lot of these huge bronze birds in many locales.
I can see why you think it is Picasso, obviously. But I don't see why you think it is a bull. It has a very song-bird-like stance and exuberance. The horns are just a crest, sideways I guess. But I see that no bird has a TAIL like that. That IS misleading.

How Delayed Gratification Shapes Your Health
Whether or not you reach your potential hinges on your ability to work and wait.
Written by Shane Trotter Last updated on January 31, 2017
Remember that squat PR you reached at age 35, or when you finally mastered the front lever and planche? How about that college class you pulled up from a C to an A? Or that first car you saved for all summer?
What all these events have in common is they are great life successes made possible by the discipline of delaying self-gratification. Millions of tiny impulses had to be overridden or ignored as you committed to habits and invested in working toward big goals. So many people struggle all their lives, because they aren't able to conjure up that same strength and impulse control.
If you had to choose only one value instill in our youth to ensure success, none could rival delayed gratification. It's at the root of every effort toward positive change, every goal realized, every dream.
The most rewarding experiences in your life came about because you created a vision that stirred you to live differently, and because that vision demanded sacrifice and persistence. The willpower of delaying gratification is a skill we can and should intentionally practice. There is no better arena to practice and develop this life-changing skill than physical training and personal health.
Marshmallows and Future Success
In the 1960's, Professor Walter Mischel of Stanford University conducted an elaborate study of hundreds of four- and five-year-old children. Each was taken to a room, individually, and seated with one marshmallow in front of them.
The rules were explained that the youth could eat their one marshmallow now and that would be all, or refrain from eating until the researchers returned, and they'd be awarded a second marshmallow. I'm sure the subsequent videotape is priceless, as kids did everything in their power to resist the hypnotic draw of the marshmallow.
The few children who abstained for the entire 15 minutes were categorized as high-discipline, and the whole group was tracked for the next four decades. Forty years later, the difference between low-discipline marshmallow eaters and high-discipline delayers was stark.
Those who'd waited for the researcher to return had far fewer behavior problems, excelled in stressful situations, had lower body mass indexes, lower divorce rates, and far higher SAT scores.
The difference in those who waited the entire 15 minutes and those who ate the first marshmallow within 30 seconds was an average difference of 210 points in the SAT. The findings were clear.
By every metric, those who delayed gratification were more successful, had better relationships, better health, and greater emotional intelligence. This seemingly amusing and non-consequential scenario had grand ramifications.
Delayed Gratification and the Gym
Delayed gratification is part of the daily fabric of anyone who trains. We all have felt that inner angst of wanting to skip today's workout, and yet we persevered. We battle all day with whether to go or not, and find showing up to be the hardest part.
But after the workout is over, the application of willpower that got us there is rewarded with a feeling of gratitude and sense of health and vitality that would have escaped us had we listened to our wimp instinct.
Those feelings create a positive feedback loop that we begin to crave, and that drives us to persist. We delay the gratification of sitting idle in the pursuit of a greater goal. It's the root of physical toughness. We've all battled the devil on our shoulder—that inner wimp—during an intense workout, as he tells us "that's good enough. Just stop."
How good it would feel to quit and call it a day! Maybe we learned it in athletics, or from great mentors, or just an innate desire to be as great as we can be. But we know that to quit is to begin the habit of accepting excuses that would insidiously infect the rest of our lives. We finish.
Delayed gratification is part of the maturity it takes to train intelligently or learn any new skill. Every group of 14-year-olds I bring into the weight room wants to throw as much weight as possible on the bar to show me and their friends how strong they are. It's the job of the coach to temper their egos, and insist upon execution of form before increasing weight.
These young men are shocked at the level of focus and understanding expected of them. But resistance training, like any skill, requires an investment in the fundamentals. Coaches who skip this are doomed to see their athletes fail on the playing field, and ensure injury and stagnation in the weight room.
The athletes who buy into this solid foundation have immensely higher long-term potential. Their training will suffer far fewer interruptions from injury than those in other programs, who get hurt in the weight room or move poorly.
We delay the gratification of pushing and yanking on bars like it's a game, and instead create a mature understanding of basic training principles and philosophy, and a mindset that optimizes long-term growth.
It's Time to Get Tough Again
Phrases like "inner wimp" and my praise for physical toughness are probably off-putting to many. Our culture is obsessed by physical toughness when displayed by others, from the exploits of our military, to the performances of elite athletes, to the next-door neighbor's marathon training.
But we are simultaneously uncomfortable identifying toughness as a value worth teaching. Something about it seems overly harsh. To create tough people requires less self-pity, and to respond somewhat callously to other's discomfort.
The reality is we've never lived in a wimpier time. Indoor air temperatures are always perfect, every hint of fever elicits a rush for antibiotics, the solution for anxiety is medication, in the place of understanding and mental training. Millions of people are in declining health simply because exercise "sounds so painful."
Delayed gratification and toughness are intimately linked. Are we willing to persist through temporary discomfort in order to realize a goal? Those who have mastered their fear of physical pain and developed more tolerance for discomfort will live better lives.
Physical pain is going to be a part of everyone's life. When we accept and embrace this, we can find happiness in the strength born of our trials, rather than feel we are the victim of some affliction.
Physical toughness is an ability created by environmental stimulation. Before air conditioning and smartphones, we were all subjected to harsh environmental elements. Survival required tough labor, in the form of hunting or farming. Houses were built, not bought.
Possibly the greatest gift of training is the reconnection with what is natural. It is perhaps the most important tenant of physical and mental health. To become successful as individuals or as a society, we must give some credence to the values of willpower and discipline.
Delayed Gratification and Body Composition
Delayed gratification and toughness are at the root of every effort toward healthy change. For long-term weight loss, people must find the strength to delay gratification repeatedly.
To do so requires a vision, a plan, and to some degree, just raw discipline. Many try to cheat the system by counting calories and still indulging in a diet of mostly sweets. Their lack of commitment to eat more quality foods means they'll face the tyranny of calorie counting, with none of the rewards of better health and vitality.
Their perception that life without daily treats is deprivation ensures that they will have to severely limit calories and nutrients to lose weight. Eventually they fail, as this is no way to live. The root of their failure is an unwillingness to delay their constant desire for sweets.
The true route to better nutrition is a commitment not to a fad diet, but to change daily nutritional habits for a lifetime. One must set limits, like ice cream only one day a week, and be willing to follow through with them. Those who can't delay gratification inevitably have soda and cake every time it's offered at the staff meeting, and fast-food whenever their buddy says he's going out to get some.

Mental Training Versus Big Pharma
Toughness and discipline rely heavily on training the mind. The essence of many forms of mental training is the ability to delay gratification. More people than ever are having trouble focusing and de-stimulating.
Our world offers constant distraction, with cell phones chiming away about the 12 social media outlets that demand our constant attention. We've found ourselves dealing with unheard of disorders, like FOMO (fear of missing out) and "distraction sickness."
It's unconscionable to allow a generation to grow up in this environment and never give them a framework to manage its hazards. Rather than use these tools for the better, a lot of kids live at the whim of these devices and the cravings they create.
Enter a college library, and you'll see hundreds of distracted young adults studying with their phones out, earbuds playing the latest pop song, and five social media accounts open on their browser. They've never been taught to practice the discipline of focus.
They conclude that there must be something wrong with them, something that is inhibiting their focus, and then they start taking their friend's Adderall. It's really no big deal, right?
ADHD medication is abused with startling regularity while, ironically, the social-media-crazed world actually trains the mind towards ADHD's vague and inclusive symptoms. Not surprisingly, ADHD diagnoses continue to climb.
Dr. Keith Connors, the man who first created the ADHD diagnosis, calls this "a national disaster of record proportions." ADHD has historically been seen as a disorder that afflicts 5% or less of the population, and that fades with aging.
But big pharma saw a goldmine. Adderall, Concerta, and other drugs have seen demand skyrocket. Intense advertising campaigns use everything from retroactive diagnoses of Ben Franklin, to hardly-related and common symptoms like forgetfulness in doing chores.
Adam Levine encourages you to take an online test that will all but guarantee you start believing you have ADHD. There is even the development of new kinds of ADHD, like adult-onset Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder without the hyperactivity.
Dr. Connors remains indignant: "The numbers make it look like an epidemic. Well it's not. It's preposterous." The real epidemic appears to be abuse of ADHD medication.
That these medications are overprescribed and abused is a symptom of our instant gratification society. We assume every kid should be formed to fit our industrial model of education. When they don't, rather than give them the tools to learn how to focus and train the mind, we opt for a pill.
The same is done for anxiety, weight loss, and a myriad of other problems. We don't see challenges as opportunities for self-development, and instead opt for pharmaceutical "band-aids" that require no growth and leave us limited and shallow.
Meditation and Distraction Management
Mental training and self-learning are vital to growth and development. My own mental training for focus, anxiety reduction, and self-discovery has mostly occurred through meditation.
This is not the only option, just the method I have most experience with. In meditation, you follow your breath for a period of time. Distracting thoughts come and go, but the practice is to return focus to your breathing. In watching your thoughts pass, there is great education.
You learn the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and body, while becoming far more mindful of patterns that have been in control of you. It is a continual process of stripping down your assumptions to find truth.
Through daily practice, I've found that I need not be swept away by thoughts or emotions. I am able to catch myself before dramatizing a situation or letting one challenge bleed into the next. How I perceive and explain situations has changed as I've developed more patience, greater focus, and more ability to delay gratification.
In meditation, there is a constant desire to chase after thoughts or distract yourself. You will face boredom and the tension of a world that does not value sitting and doing nothing. This has taught me a level of mental resilience, discipline, and confidence I'd have never thought possible five years ago.
In a world where distraction abounds, having the discipline to meditate may be the best gift you can give yourself. At its core this is delaying the gratification of following each passing thought and opting to root yourself in each breath.
If we return to the marshmallow test, the experimenters found that the children who could wait out the 15 minutes were those that could best bring their attention to something else. They were able to sing songs or play games with themselves to move their mind elsewhere.
It is unique for a 4-year-old to have this impulse control. This is the same way that meditation allows people to escape anxiety and depression. They learn not to attach themselves to an emotion and allow thoughts and feelings to pass.
Develop Mental Depth for Limitless Growth
The other essential lesson of meditation is appreciation and love for the moment, with an understanding that nothing in the future is guaranteed. How do we reconcile all this delaying of gratification with that? On the surface, it might appear that all these "successful" delayed gratifiers were just stuffy, color-between-the-lines types.
The reality is quite the opposite. What you find in people who've learned to delay gratification is a mastery of their emotions that allows greater happiness, positive perception, and presence in each moment. They've learned what is really important in life.
They prioritize their thoughts and emotions, rather than be at the whim of their "inner wimp" and their impulses. They've learned to love the process of growth so much that delayed gratification is a habit that is in no way perceived as deprivation.
They savor garlic rolls and pasta at an Italian dinner, then wake up the next day and return to their habits with gratitude. It gives them great pleasure to live healthy and be on the hunt for something they believe in. Because they crave growth, they've found purpose in what they do and a love for the daily processes.
The weight room is the refreshing antidote to a world intent upon lowering standards and inflating scores to ensure a false sense of self-esteem. The purity and truth offered in training is what makes it such an excellent vehicle for teaching life lessons.
As you prepare to train others or dedicate yourself to new training- or health-related goals, I hope you will consider intentionally focusing on delayed gratification. There is great empowerment in realizing the deep ramifications of this skill.

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ListView activitylist = findViewById(R.id.activitylist);

        //Database
        SQLiteOpenHelper dbHelper = new DBHelper(this);

    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        cursor.close();
        db.close();
    }
}

A: It appears that you issue could be due to there being no data in the activity table due to there not being (according to the activity table's create SQL) a column named webPage, instead you probably want to insert the data into the homePage column.
This a good example of why it is recommended to define table and column names with a static variable and then ALWAYS use that variable to refer to the table/column.
The short fix to your solution could be to use :-
private static void insertActivity(SQLiteDatabase db, String name, String
description, int type, String webPage, int price, boolean outdoor) {
    ContentValues activityValues = new ContentValues();
    activitytValues.put("name", name);
    activitytValues.put("description", description);
    activitytValues.put("type", type);
    activityValues.put("homePage", webPage); //<<<<<<<<<< CHANGED
    activitytValues.put("price", price);
    activityValues.put("outdoor", outdoor);
    db.insert("activity", null, activityValues);
}

However a better solution would be to do something along the lines of :-
public class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

    private static final String DB_name = "Mydb";
    private static final int DB_version = 1;

    private static TB_ACTIVITY = "activity"; // DEFINED constant variable for the TABLE NAME
    private static ACTIVITY_COL_HOMEPAGE = "homePage"; //<<<<<<<<<< DEFINES constant variable for the COLUMN NAME
    .......... other columns done likewise

    private String createActivityTypeQuery = "CREATE TABLE activity_type (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, type TEXT)";
    private String createpriceQuery = "CREATE TABLE price (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, price TEXT)";

    private String createActivityQuery = "CREATE TABLE " + TB_ACTIVITY + "(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " //<<<<<<<<<< APPLIED constant variable for the TABLE NAME
                                            + "name TEXT,"
                                            + "description TEXT,"
                                            + "type INTEGER,"
                                            + ACTIVITY_COL_HOMEPAGE + " TEXT," //<<<<<<<<<< CHANGED TO USE constant
                                            + "price INTEGER,"
                                            + "outdoor NUMERIC,"
                                            + "FOREIGN KEY (type) REFERENCES activity_type(_id),"
                                            + "FOREIGN KEY (price) REFERENCES price(_id)"
                                            + ")";

    public DBHelper(@Nullable Context context) {
        super(context, DB_name, null, DB_version);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

        db.execSQL(createActivityTypeQuery);
        db.execSQL(createpriceQuery);
        db.execSQL(createActivitytQuery);

        insertActivityType(db, "Amusement park");
        insertActivityType(db, "Waterpark");
        insertprice(db, "Low");
        insertprice(db, "Medium");
        insertprice(db, "High");
        insertActivity(db, "Thorpe park", "Amusement park in London, United Kingdom. Carousels and roller coaster plus much more", 1, "www.thorpark.uk", 3, true);
        insertActivity(db, "Lee Water Centre", "Lee Water Centre in London, United Kindgom. Lots of water and fun", 2, "www.LeeWaterCentre.uk", 2, true);

    }

    @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {

    }

    private static void insertActivityType(SQLiteDatabase db, String type) {
        ContentValues activityValues = new ContentValues();
        aktivitetValues.put("type", type);
        db.insert("activity_type", null, activityValues);
    }

    private static void insertprice(SQLiteDatabase db, String price) {
        ContentValues priceValues = new ContentValues();
        priceValues.put("price", price);
        db.insert("price", null, priceValues);

    private static void insertActivity(SQLiteDatabase db, String name, String

}

*

*Note the above code is in-principle code, it has not been tested and may therefore have some minor errors.

*The error was the first error found there is no guarantee that other errors do not exist.

*See all lines that have been marked with //<<<<<<<<<<

*A constant has only been applied for the homePage column, ideally you should do the same for all columns, if adopting this better approach. Ideally you'd make the constants public they could then be used elsewhere e.g.

*

*cursor = db.query("activity", new String[] {"_id", "name", "description"}, null, null, null, null, null);

*could become (assuming naming convention above were utilised for the constants)
cursor = db.query(DBHelper.TB_ACTIVITY, new String[] {DBHelper.ACTIVITY_ID,DBHelper.NAME,DBHelper.DESCRIPTION}, null, null, null, null, null);

CNN OK'd to Fly Drones Over People in 'Real-World' Conditions
Betsy Lillian
CNN was been awarded a waiver under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Part 107 to operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) safely over people in real-world operating conditions.
According to press release from law firm Hogan Lovells, which helped the major news channel secure the approval, the waiver allows CNN to fly the Vantage Robotics Snap drone over non-participating members of the public up to an altitude of 150 feet above ground level. There are no restrictions based on population density – which will, for the first time ever, enable wide-ranging flights in urban and suburban environments, says the law firm.
"This waiver signifies a critical step forward not only for CNN's UAS operations but also the commercial UAS industry at large," says David Vigilante, senior vice president for legal at CNN, in a company blog.
According to CNN, the Snap UAS is a "frangible, 1.37-pound aircraft with enclosed rotors that is made of deformable material."
"Vantage created the Snap for the purpose of safely capturing aerial video over people," comments Tobin Fisher, CEO of Vantage Robotics. "We are pleased that Vantage was able to work with CNN to present and establish the safety case for the Snap to the FAA."
This summer, CNN, which has its own Aerial Imagery and Reporting unit, CNN AIR, received a Part 107 waiver for closed-set UAS operations, allowing drone flights over people for motion picture and television filming in a controlled environment. Last year, CNN also secured a waiver to operate a Fotokite Pro – a small, tethered drone – over areas with unsheltered people who are not directly participating in the UAS operation.
As of today, the FAA has issued 1,317 Part 107 waivers, but only seven of them (or .005%) allow drone operations over people, notes Hogan Lovells. Though the odds of filing a successful waiver application for operations over people may seem daunting, CNN's new waiver could now open the door to additional approvals, the law firm points out.
Here's why, according to the firm: When applying for a Part 107 waiver, applicants need to submit a safety case demonstrating that the proposed operation under the waiver can be conducted safely. In the context of a waiver for operations over people, the primary concern is the risk posed to exposed people on the ground below where the drone is flying. But how should the risk be assessed, and what factors should be considered? Should the risk to people on the ground depend only on kinetic energy at impact (i.e., how hard a drone would hit someone if it fell from the sky), or should other factors, like vehicle reliability, the operator's safety history and ground population density also be considered?
Until recently, the law firm explains, the FAA took a worst-case scenario approach to analyzing the risk posed to people on the ground. The problem with this approach is twofold: First, a kinetic energy injury-based approach will work only if the thresholds adopted are reasonable. Second, a kinetic energy injury-based approach fails to account for the full scope of operational and technical mitigations adopted by many sophisticated commercial entities to help ensure safety.
As part of its Pathfinder partnership with the FAA, CNN developed an alternative "Reasonableness Approach." Under this approach, the FAA would consider more than just kinetic energy; the agency would also look at factors such as the operator's history of safe operations, internal company safety procedures and design features of the UAS that enhance safety.
"CNN's new waiver represents a very important development for the commercial drone industry at large," says Lisa Ellman, chair of Hogan Lovells' global UAS practice and co-executive director of the Commercial Drone Alliance. "The FAA's willingness to approve reasonable waiver requests is a strong step in the right direction as we seek to bring the benefits of commercial drones to the American people."
"Many of today's most promising and innovative commercial drone operations require the ability to fly over people," adds Matt Clark, senior associate in Hogan Lovells' UAS practice group. "This waiver creates a powerful precedent that will benefit the entire commercial drone industry."

Greater North Sea and its Wider Approaches
The Greater North Sea and its Wider Approaches is one of the busiest sea areas in the world with many commercial interests vying for space alongside the need for nature protection and space for recreational activities.
The North Sea is important for marine transport and its shipping lanes are among the busiest in the world. It has several major ports located along its coasts such as Rotterdam, the busiest port in Europe, Antwerp, Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Felixstowe, all busy container seaports, as well as the Port of Bruges-Zeebrugge, Europe's leading RoRo port. Navigation can also be difficult because of coastal sand banks, frequent fog and intense winter storms.
Many different types of vessel share the shipping routes in the North Sea such as service boats for offshore industries, fishing boats, sport and pleasure craft and merchant ships travelling to and from the North Sea and Baltic Sea ports. Over 400 commercial vessels use the Dover Strait every day. The Strait is under full radar surveillance and operates a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS).
The North Sea coasts are home to numerous canals and canal systems to facilitate traffic between and among rivers, artificial harbours and the sea. The Kiel Canal links the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and is the busiest man-made waterway in the world. The North Sea Canal connects Amsterdam with the North Sea.
North Sea oil is a mixture of liquid oil and natural gas produced from oil reservoirs beneath the North Sea. The first licenses for the extraction of oil and gas in the North Sea were issued in 1964. Exploration began the next year followed by the discovery of oil and gas fields throughout the following decades to the present day. Great Britain and Norway have become major producers of oil and gas. Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands are also involved in production in the North Sea.
Offshore oil production involves environmental risks, most notably oil spills from oil tankers or pipelines transporting oil from the platform to onshore facilities, and from leaks and accidents on the platform. Some oil is discharged in produced water (the water produced from oil and gas wells alongside the oil and gas). This is usually at low concentrations, in most cases below 30 parts per million.
Offshore wind farms
Over the past 15 years, energy production by offshore wind farms has emerged as a new use of coastal and shallower offshore waters. The development of large-scale offshore wind farms is being driven by demands for increased renewable energy production as a result of policies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and the effects of climate change. The EU is committed to having 20% of its energy production from renewable sources by 2020.
The trend in offshore wind farms is towards bigger wind farm projects and larger turbines. When looking at wind farms currently under construction per sea basin, it is clear that the North Sea will continue to be the main region for offshore deployment in Europe.
The North Sea is Europe's main fishery area accounting for over 5% of international commercial fish caught. The EU Common Fisheries Policy exists to coordinate fishing rights and manage fish stocks. Productive fishing areas in the North Sea are off the European coast and in the Dogger Bank—a shallow area in the south-central part of the sea. The main method of fishing is trawling.
All North Sea States have signed up to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) target to designate 10% of marine waters as marine protected areas as well as EU commitments to designate Natura 2000 sites under the Habitats Directive. This will lead to an increase in designated areas in the coming years.

…ist ein unentbehrliches Utensil für den Profifotografen, Amateure arbeiten freihändig.
It looks like a stand off to me.:) Thinkity, thinkity…should we photograph it from here or go over there where you suggested first? That's what they look like they're saying in their stare. Wonderful capture. I just love the brick street.
Ha, I was going to say what Sherri said above 🙂 Very nicely balanced and fun shot!
Man kann das Stativ auch als Stütze benutzen, wie man sieht.
A fun and wonderful capture!


At Klätterverket we are serious about safe climbing!
Modern indoor climbing is very safe but it is also important that everyone knows and follows the rules and regulations.
Klätterverket is a climbing gym certified by The Swedish Climbing Federation. This means that everyone that climbs here is insured.
During the most popular hours we also have staff working in the gym to make sure everyone is behaving in a safe way. You can recognize our safety personnel by their red shirts with the text "Hallvärd".
Everyone that belays on top rope at Klätterverket needs to have their Green card visible on their harnesses.
The Green card is a belay license handed out by an authorized instructor from the Swedish Climbing Federation. To get the green card you need to complete a theoretical and practical test called an "uppklättring". This is to make sure you know how to belay properly on top rope.
If you do not know how to belay we recommend our Top Rope courses or Family courses.
Everyone that lead climbs and/or belays on lead at Klätterverket needs to have their Red card visible on their harnesses.

VAMBOA: Boots to Business Gets $1.12M: By Debbie Gregory
Boots to Business program is set to benefit from $1.12 million in grants.
On September 19, 2014, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it has entered into a cooperative agreement with America's Small Business Development Centers, SCORE, and the Association of Women's Business Centers (AWBC). This co-op has agreed to provide a total of $1.12 million worth of funding needed to facilitate resource partner participation in SBA's Boots to Business program.
The SBA's Boots to Business program provides training to transitioning service members and military spouses who are interested in business ownership. The program functions as part of the Defense Department's TAP program. The original Boots to Business began as a pilot program in 2012, and was expanded in 2013.
Each year, more than 250,000 service members separate from the military ranks. With their experience and leadership skills, Veterans have proven to be natural entrepreneurs. Veterans are more likely to be self-employed than those with no active-duty military experience. There are approximately 2.45 million Veteran owned small businesses in the U.S., making up approximately 9% of all American small businesses. Veteran owned small businesses employ more than five million Americans, generating more than one trillion dollars of sales receipts each year.
"Veterans make some of our country's best entrepreneurs, and we are investing in them by ensuring our partners are funded to maximize the training and support they provide to service members embarking on their post-service careers," said SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet. "We owe so much to those who have served in our Armed Forces and sacrificed so much. Our veterans deserve opportunities, and the SBA and our network of small business experts are ready to help them start their next chapter."
Since January, 2013, more than 16,000 transitioning service members have participated in the two-day "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" class that was offered on 165 military installations around the globe. This year, the Boots to Business program was appropriated $7 million in the federal budget.
To learn more about the Boots to Business Program and additional opportunities for veterans available through the SBA, visit www.sba.gov/vets.
The Veteran and Military Business Owners Association (VAMBOA) is a non-profit business trade association that promotes and assists Veteran Business Owners, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB) and Military Business Owners. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and responsible for job generation. That is why VAMBOA provides its members with Business Coaching, Contracting Opportunities, a Blog that provides information, Networking contacts and other resources. Membership is FREE to Veterans.

What do we know about the psychology of violent criminals?
Most violent crime involves impulsive aggression. It is no surprise, then, to find that, on average, violent criminals have many of the characteristics associated with impulsive aggression. They are largely male, young, have problems regulating their aggression, and tend to have lower IQs, less education, and lower SES than the general population. They are also more likely to have childhood histories of physical abuse and neglect. Cognitively, they have difficulty anticipating the consequences of their actions, and tend toward a narrow, rigid, and essentially paranoid interpretation of others' intentions. Ambiguous gestures are interpreted as threatening and hostile, setting off a hair-trigger aggressive reaction. Non-impulsive violent criminals are more likely to have psychopathic traits; that is, they have the callous, exploitive, and unemotional traits of a psychopath.


Script is fantastic. Possibly the best prof rock album of the 80's if we don't include Rush, ands consider 80's Rush to be prog rock.
Fugazi is a solid follow up, with some classic tracks (Incubus, Emerald Lies) but a move to more accessible and less 'mysterious' sound.
Misplaced Childhood blew my mind at the time, but bores me now. Too self indulgent lyrically, ad includes Lavender, their worst ever song.
CAS is well produced, well performed prog pop. Has it's moments, but by that time I was more into It Bites, for that kind of vibe.
Thanks for the replies, mates.
Misplaced Childhood used to be leagues ahead, but Clutching at Straws has practically closed the gap for me after years of repeat listens. While Side 1 of Misplaced is flowing gold all the way to end, Side 2 was always struggling to reach that peak. Clutching is more consistent and Incommunicado and Sugar Mice I never tire of. Script is pure nostalgia from those dark days of the early 80's and worth a spin still - although Fugazi was always one I struggled to find as engaging - and I've really tried over the decades. The Market Square Heroes 12" single is of course legendary!
