On clicking on any row (except the header), the javascript function should be called. But I am not getting the alert from the javascript function. Why?

A: You must change the JSFiddle onLoad to no wrap - in  (http://prntscr.com/77j08q) so that the code loads in the  instead of loading when the DOM loads.

Fahadh Faasil completes shooting for 'Aaranya Kaandam' fame Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Super Deluxe!
Fahadh Faasil completes shooting for 'Aaranya Kaandam' fame Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Super Deluxe!
National award winning director Thiagarajan Kumararaja is making a comeback eight years after he made his debut with the cult-hit Aaranya Kaandam. His comeback movie titled as 'Super Deluxe' has Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil, Samantha, Mysskin and Ramya Krishnan playing the lead roles. Shoot for the movie was wrapped up last day.
Fahadh Faasil, Samantha, director Thiagarajan Kumararaja and other crew members celebrated the wrap up with a cake cutting. Super Deluxe is one of the most awaited Tamil movies of the year. It is reportedly an anthology of different short films. Vijay Sethupathi is playing the role of a transgender in one while another features actress Ramya Krishnan as the central character. Fahadh Faasil and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are playing the protagonists in another segment.
Super Deluxe has been in the making for over an year now. The makers have remained tight lipped about the project all this while. Fahadh is said to be playing an urban character and he has not undergone any major makeover for the film. The actor is also expected to dub for his portions in Tamil.
Expectations are huge for Super Deluxe since it has some of the finest talents of South Indian cinema working in it. Director Thiagarajan Kumararaja's debut movie Aaranya Kaandam enjoys a cult status and is widely rated as one of Indian cinema's finest movies in recent years.
Directors Mysskin and Nalan Kumarasamy are penning the dialogues in Super Deluxe. PS Vinod, noted for his work in several Bollywood movies, is the DOP and Yuvan Shankar Raja handles the music department. An official word regarding the release date is expected to be made very soon.

Seriously, who is that short girl in the middle of those beautiful models?
Let's come together to focus on not destroying something good, and maybe some day we can have nice things!
Sure, some of these were just silly, but they were true. Sometimes people take it too far. Like 3dcg. Take MMD seriously, and don't get shunned from the MMD community!
Can you come up with any more hilarious scenarios? turn them into videos!

I agree with you … the Animasa models have a simple charm.

Q: How R-Trees, R*-Trees can be used to index the Road Network? I am trying to understand the Tree Indexing method of the Road network. In R-Tree the Minimum Bounding Rectangle is used to store the data points, but how it can hold the line segments of the Map? Or each MBR will just hold the single edge of the roadmap? From a basic Spatial Join what I got is that the connected line segment's rectangle overlaps.
Still it seems a lot of confusing to me. Could anybody please help me with the simple yet easy explanation. A graphical visualization would be more helpful.

A: Ordinary R-Trees in GIS do not consider the topology/connections of the edges in sense of graph theory.
The MBR of each feature is considered in the R-Tree on its own, depending only on its spatial position, not on connections to any other road segments.


Profile 00: Focke Wulf Fw 190A-5 of 10./NJG3 coded DS+XV, Aalborg-West, early 1944. This machine had large areas of the fuselage and the entire uppersurfaces of the wings and tailplane oversprayed with grey 74, although an area oversprayed with 75 and mottled with 74 is visible on the vertical tail surfaces. The operational markings on the fuselage were entirely in black.
Photo 01: In November 1943 there was some concern in certain Luftwaffe circles that the speed of the Ju-88C and Ju88R-1 was insufficient to combat the civil Mosquitoes which were flying between Scotland and Sweden. The Staffelkapitan of 10./NJG3, Oblt. Hans-Hermann Muller whose Staffel was then based at Aalborg-West, in Denmark, decided to employ the Fw 190, but an appeal for the loan of such an aircraft from a neighbouring unit, 10./JG11 at Aalborg-East, was refused. Muller then appealed to 2.Jagddivision and was provided with one Fw 190A-5 which was assigned the code D5+XV. In December, 10./JG11 was ordered to loan Muller two Fw 190A-4s which were subsequently coded D5+ YV and D5+zv, and while in the charge of 10./NJG3 the Fw 190 detachment was known as Nachtjagdkommando 190. However, trials with the single-seat Fw 190s did not result in the expected successes and the Fw 190A-4s were returned to JG11 in Febmary. The A-5 was also eventually returned to 2.Jagddivision in March.
Photo 02: Less easy to explain are these Fw 190s which, to judge from the 'Englandblitz' badge on the machine in the foreground, clearly belonged to a night fighter unit and may have been one of the Fw 190A-4s from 10./JG11 assigned to 10./NJG3. The machine in the background with the tactical marking 'Red 5' and a II. Gruppe bar aft of the fuselage Balkenkreuz, also has a large white gull painted below the cockpit. Such a marking is known to have been applied to the Fw 190A-5 flown by Hptm. Dietrich Wickop of II./JG1 in May 1943 (see page 141 of 'Defenders of the Reich', Volume 2, published by Classic Publications). As there is a link back to JG1 via a number of redesignations, it is possible that Wickop's machine may have been the Fw 190A-5 later assigned to 10./NJG3 as D5+XY, and is shown here before being repainted in new camouflage and markings.
Photo 01: Fw. Gunther Migge, in the dark overalls, claimed his first four victories in the last three months of 1943 while flying the Bf-109G with 2./JG300. When NJGr 10 was established in early 1944, he transferred to 1. Staffel and, according to some sources, eventually accumulated a total of eight victories. This cannot be confirmed, however, and the only record of any further victories claimed by this pilot after he left 2./JG300 is a Lancaster shot down late on 12 September 1944 when he was with I./NJG11.
Photo's 02-04: Migge's Fw 190A-8 'White 9' of I./NJG10 showing the aerials for the FuG 217 radar mounted on the starboard wing and the anti-glare shield over the exhaust. The badge on the cowling originated with JG300 and symbolised the unit's 'Wilde Sau' tactics. It appeared in various forms and was also used by NJGr 10. The photograph above shows the particular variation of the badge carried on the engine cowling of Migge's 'White 9'.

Remarks:One known victory, a Mosquito piloted by Flt Lt E.V. Saunders DFC, during the Bochum raid on 7 July, 1944, at Kyritz, west of Berlin. A 2nd, a Lancaster S of Essen on 4 November, 1944. He had bailed three times; 11 July, 1944, 8 September, 1944 and 4 November, 1944. The latter as a result of Lancaster return fire. He landed Radevormwald near Remscheid with only minor injuries. It was his 213th combat mission. His A-5 in NJGr-10 was 'White 11', in which he scored this one known victory.
Remarks:All 8 victories were bombers. One known victory, a Stirling at Mannheim on 23 September, 1943. A 2nd, a '4 mot' on 22 Octobe, 1943, no location. A double victory on 20 December, 1943; one 'unidentified' AC at Frankfurt and a Halifax SE of Frankfurt. A Lancaster at Frankfurt a. Main on 12 September, 1944. Magnus Report.

Le locomotive del gruppo FS 737 sono state locomotive a vapore di costruzione britannica originariamente introdotte in Italia per impiego in ambito bellico da parte degli Alleati. Nel secondo dopoguerra furono acquistate dalle Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) e immatricolate nel loro gruppo 737. Prestarono servizio sulla rete italiana fino alla prima metà degli anni cinquanta.

Le locomotive furono progettate da William Stanier e prodotte in 960 unità negli anni tra il 1935 e il 1946. Sono considerate tra le migliori macchine per treni merci mai costruite in tutto il mondo.

Storia

Premesse

Per il passaggio del fronte il sistema ferroviario italiano fu gravemente danneggiato dalle armate tedesche. In particolare il parco delle locomotive a vapore delle FS, che nell'esercizio finanziario 1943-1944 comprendeva 4 032 macchine a scartamento ordinario e 101 a scartamento ridotto, fu soggetto a condizioni di lavoro particolarmente gravose e poi a distruzioni deliberate da parte dell'esercito tedesco durante la ritirata. Nel giugno 1946, pertanto, le locomotive a scartamento ordinario atte al servizio erano solo 1915, mentre le altre erano in attesa della Grande Riparazione o della radiazione perché irreparabili.

Conseguentemente i servizi ferroviari degli eserciti alleati sbarcarono in Italia diverse centinaia delle loro locomotive con cui trainare i treni adibiti ai propri servizi di logistica. Delle macchine lasciate dal Military Railway Service britannico le FS acquisirono, nel gennaio 1948, 51 unità, successivamente immatricolate nei gruppi FS 293 (6 unità), 737 (15 unità) e 747 (30 unità).

Queste macchine, insieme alle locomotive a vapore e Diesel-elettriche lasciate dall'US Army Transportation Corps dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti d'America (in particolare le locomotive poi dei gruppi FS 736 e 1200, poi Ne 120) e alle poche locomotive delle FS e delle altre aziende ferroviarie italiane ancora in grado di funzionare, furono le protagoniste della fase finale del conflitto e degli anni della ricostruzione del sistema ferroviario italiano.

Progetto

Le locomotive immatricolate nel gruppo FS 737 facevano parte della classe 8F della compagnia ferroviaria britannica London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ed erano destinate al servizio merci veloce. Progettate da sir William Stanier, vennero prodotte in 960 unità negli anni tra il 1935 e il 1946 e nel dopoguerra confluirono nel parco delle British Railways coi numeri da 48 000 a 48 775. Sono considerate tra le migliori macchine per treni merci mai costruite in tutto il mondo.

Costruzione ed esercizio

Esercizio nel Medio Oriente
Nel 1939 erano già state consegnate 126 unità e, a seguito dei buoni risultati d'esercizio, il Ministero della Guerra britannico (War Department), in previsione delle necessità logistiche generate dall'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale, ne commissionò 240 e tra il 1940 e il 1942 ne ricevette 208. Ne prelevò poi altre 51 direttamente dal parco della London Midland and Scottish Railways. Tutte furono costruite dalla North British Locomotive Company di Glasgow, dalla Beyer Peacock & Company di Manchester e dalla Vulcan Foundry di Newton-le-Willows.

Le prime otto locomotive poi immatricolate nel parco delle FS come 737.001-008 vennero costruite su ordinazione del War Department negli anni tra il 1940 e il 1941. Le altre sette, poi FS 737.009-015, fuono costruite nel 1936 per la London Midland and Scottish Railways e assegnate al War Department nel 1940. Tutte le locomotive giusero via mare nel Medio Oriente e furono dapprima utilizzate in Persia. Nel 1944 50 di esse vennero trasferite in Egitto e in Palestina.

Esercizio in Italia
In seguito allo sbarco alleato nell'Italia centro-meridionale, nel 1944-1945 quindici delle unità utilizzate dapprima in Iran e poi in Egitto vennero imbarcate su navi militari inglesi a Porto Said, sbarcate a Bari e rimasero a far servizio per conto del comando alleato fino alla fine della guerra

Con decreto ministeriale del 18 gennaio 1948 esse, come altre locomotive del War Department poi dei gruppi FS 293 e 747, per il tramite dell'Azienda Rilievo Alienazione Residuati furono acquistate dalle Ferrovie dello Stato, che dovevano fronteggiare la penuria di mezzi di trazione dovuta alle distruzioni belliche.

Assegnate al deposito locomotive di Bari, esse furono utilizzate prevalentemente sulla linea adriatica. Con una potenza indicata di 772 kW a 45 km/h, le FS, considerate le dimensioni della caldaia, attribuirono loro le stesse prestazioni delle locomotive dei gruppi 735 e 740. Tuttavia, secondo le testimonianze dei macchinisti che le condussero, esse dimostrarono di poter agevolmente sostituire anche le più potenti 746, viaggiando fino a 100 km/h. Trasferite successivamente ai depositi di Foggia e poi di Ancona, continuarono a essere bene apprezzate dal personale di macchina FS.

Sebbene entro il 1953 il Servizio Materiale e Trazione FS avesse provveduto alla "compilazione di tutti i disegni occorrenti per l'approvvigionamento delle parti di ricambio per le locomotive gr. 736, 737 e 747 (ex USA)", la penuria di tali ricambi spinse a un precoce accantonamento delle locomotive di tutti e tre i gruppi, che per la maggior parte delle unità del gruppo 737 avvenne entro il 1953. Vennero demolite tutte nel 1956 (11 nel deposito di Foggia, 3 nell'Officina Grandi Riparazioni di Rimini e 1 nel deposito di Napoli).

Le caldaie delle tre unità demolite a Rimini vennero poi utilizzate quali generatori di vapore per le locali Officine Grandi Riparazioni delle FS.

Classificazione e numerazione
La seguente tabella riepiloga le variazioni di numerazione delle macchine del gruppo.

Caratteristiche
Le locomotive del gruppo 737 FS erano macchine di rodiggio (UIC) 1'D (secondo la notazione FS dell'epoca 1-4-0) progettate originariamente per il traino dei treni merci. Con un carico massimo per sala di 16 t e un'inscrivibilità in curve con raggio minimo di 90 m, erano in grado di viaggiare senza difficoltà su linee secondarie dal tracciato tortuoso quali erano quelle di molti Paesi europei (compresa l'Italia), africani e mediorientali.

La caldaia aveva il forno del tipo Belpaire e il surriscaldatore del tipo Schmidt. Erano dotate di un motore a due cilindri esterni gemelli a semplice espansione e cassetto della distribuzione cilindrico con azionamento Walschaerts. L'alimentazione era a carbone, ma molte delle unità del War Department furono modificate per l'alimentazione a nafta.

Secondo una fonte orale le FS 737.001 e 003, in origine alimentate a nafta, verso il 1945 sarebbero state ritrasformate per l'alimentazione a carbone, ma tale notizia è in contrasto con i documenti d'archivio delle FS.

Le macchine costruite per la London Midland and Scottish Railways, suddivise in vari sottogruppi, differivano in alcune caratteristiche da quelle commissionate direttamente dal War Department, che avrebbero dovuto essere affidabili anche nel clima desertico del Medio Oriente e con una manutenzione sommaria. Secondo alcune fonti le unità poi FS 737.001-008 avrebbero avuta una caldaia leggermente più piccola, una minore superficie di surriscaldamento (22,4 m² anziché 27,7 m²) e una minor lunghezza delle bielle motrici. Il dato è in contrasto con quello di altre fonti, secondo cui tutte le unità pervenute alle FS avrebbero avuto la stessa caldaia.

Il tender, con tre sale montate (rodiggio C), trasportava 9 tonnellate di carbone e 18.000 litri di acqua.

Depositi locomotive di assegnazione
Dopo l'acquisizione, le Ferrovie dello Stato assegnarono le locomotive al deposito locomotive di Bari. Tra il 1948 e il 1950 vennero trasferite al deposito locomotive di Foggia, e nel maggio 1951 furono assegnate a quello di Ancona, dove rimasero fino alla radiazione con l'eccezione della 737.014 che, dall'estate 1948 fino alla propria fine, fu accantonata nel deposito di Napoli Smistamento.

Freaking High School Kids
Since I can't get to sleep until it's quite late I find myself watching movies at night since post-prime time television kind of sucks... I should also mention that late used to mean 2 or 3 in the AM but now with the kid and my age it means midnight...
And I should mention that midnight is 12:00 which means it's actually morning... People always say things like "I need that by midnight tonight". There are two things wrong with that... People don't often say that and midnight would have already passed.
That being said an unnamed online streaming company keeps me entertained... Unnamed because they kind fo suck now that they spun off their DVD service and that they are now less concerned with streaming movies than TV shows even though 'flix' is in the name of the company.
Any how I find myself watching a lot of documentaries because real life is often more entertaining and less believable than scripts.
That's how I found myself watching a movie called FrontRunners... It's a documentary of an election for a high school council in an incredibly prestigious school in NYC... A school that only the kids who perform in the top of standardized tests get into.
And I was appalled.
These kids are supposedly smart and their political campaigns sucked. They had no marketing skills. They had horrible pamphlets they would hand out. Poorly produced signs. Laughable tactics. Bad music spouting from tiny boom boxes.
It was a sad display.
I have no idea if MF will ever run for class president... But if he does he'll surely have some kick ass marketing. I won't do it for him but I'll provide direction, show him some good inspiration and lend my thoughts on what he creates. He won't have some crappy photo thrown on to some craptastic 8.5x11" piece of paper and stand in some corridor with some crap music while looking like a goofball... Miloh, you're welcome.
Staci (wifey) April 9, 2012 at 9:19 PM
And a big "event" planned if he wins or even if he doesnt. We will pull our talents to take over his efforts and then make it about us. haha. just kidding darling.
A is for Asshole –or– I Don't Care That Your Kid C...
I was going to write something else but this takes...

Trans People Weigh In On Whether Pronoun Pins Are a Good Idea
Jan 23, 2017 @ 8:30 am By Keri Dolan
Pronouns might not seem like a big deal after you've covered them in sixth-grade English class. But for transgender and non-binary people, they can be a huge source of pain, confusion, and annoyance.
That's why The University of Kansas started a new program offering students the opportunity to wear pins that display their preferred pronouns. As part of their "You Belong Here" campaign, the university libraries have started a voluntary system where students and employees can pick up the pins for free and wear them.
The pins are available in a variety of three where each may read, "He, Him, His," "She, Her, Hers," "They, Them, Theirs."

Signs are also being posted throughout the libraries explaining the new system, attempting to make all undergraduates feel as included and accepted as possible.
Although the system was created with good intentions, it received mixed reactions when I asked members of the LGBTQ+ community their feelings towards the program. While some appreciate the efforts of the school, they also fear that it could be potentially harmful to these particular students, making them a target to those who may not be as accepting.

Micah, 20, is a gender-non-conforming student from St. Louis.
"I really love and admire the support behind the pin system, however I fear that it has potential to unintentionally make LGBTQ+ students a larger target to those who aren't so open-minded," they said. "I would definitely wear a pin at my university because I am fortunate enough to go to a very liberal school.
Still, as Micah points out, not everyone is so lucky.
"I firmly believe that this system is potentially dangerous, depending on the area of course," they said. "My feelings about this pin-system [are] complicated because I love the idea and the support behind it but I also feel that this is a very hazardous/fragile time for the LGBTQ+ community."

Jack, 27, a transgender man from Long Island, agreed that the potential for abuse is there. Still, he feels the pins could be especially useful for people who are mid-transition or for those who don't care about "passing" as one gender or the other, but still want their preferred pronouns to be used.
"Trans people may often appear confusing to cisgender and straight individuals and it will help the awkward position of the person transitioning," he said.
Still, the process of transitioning "is extremely intimate," he pointed out. "Think of your most vulnerable attribute or time in your life and having no choice but to have everyone around you, including strangers, know the most personal things about you."
It's true that some transgender and gender-non-conforming people might put the pins on thinking everyone will be open and accepting, but realize only after they're already wearing them that some people aren't so kind. Wearing the pin is essentially an act of coming out to everyone you meet, without knowing whether they will accept you ahead of time.
Read More: Ivanka Trump Basically Wore A Formal Skort To The Inauguration
Derrick, 28, also a transgender man, is completely against the idea.
"I don't think it's really a necessary thing," he said. "Walking around wearing a label is ridiculous. How long is it before people start wearing bands or pins stating their sexual orientation so they aren't automatically assumed to be straight?"
He also points out that most of the time, misgendering is not done in a malicious way.
"I've seen a bit of backlash online already and I'm sure in person this could bring unwanted attention or interactions alongside the intended purpose," he said. "It could also just be a quick way to tell someone's gender but it's unnecessary, if you're going to have an interaction with this person and you misgender them they can correct you right then and there."
Everyone we interviewed pointed out that communication is the key to solving this issue, saying it's better to speak with those around you rather than wearing a label.
Story continues below..
"(Being misgendered) doesn't happen to me anymore, but in the past it was devastating," Jack said, referring to times when he was mid-transition. "You feel utterly embarrassed."
Still, he believes the best way to deal with this is to talk about it.
"I think a better alternative is to talk and to stop being afraid to approach things unknown to us," he said. "Trans people that are offended by their peers who have no malice in their hearts are also the problem. We learn by communication. Do not make people uncomfortable to ask, it's how we learn, so long as the dialogue is appropriate and respectful."

Micah also added that they have "mixed feelings when people mess up my pronouns."
"I'd grown so used to it that I'd just started to accept people calling me 'she/her' or even 'Mikayla' instead of 'Micah,'" they said. "It's sad in a way, but I've just tried to make things easier for other people instead of myself."
Micah agrees that talking is key.
"I don't want to say a 'better alternative,' but I definitely think that a safer alternative would be for students to communicate with their teachers beforehand and let them know their pronouns before class begins, if that's what they're most comfortable doing." they said. " That being said, to those who are confident enough to participate in this system I say go for it! Rock those pins — be you!"

This was an awesome homeschooling week. We got so much accomplished. Lots of academics and also some other fun stuff.
It sure seems like more when I list it like that. Ok, planning field trips next.
Our family plans most of the field trips for our homeschool group. Our group wasn't doing many field trips when we started attending this group years ago. I decided that if I wanted field trips to happen I was going to have to do it myself. Here is the process.
First I decide what my children would be interested in doing for a field trip. I look at what we will be studying that year. In 1st grade I usually do a "Community Workers" type of lesson so if I have a child going into 1st grade I will gear my field trips towards those occupations. I also ask my kids which ones they liked from last year and also if there are any they have thought of that they would like to do. I also ask them if there are any they would prefer to never do again 🙂 I make up a list of all the prospective field trips and what specific businesses would be called if we choose to do that field trip.
Then I ask around and see who would like to go on a field trip. I usually ask via email or during the monthly meeting or I just ask my friends that homeschool. I have found that to have a business host a field trip they like to have a group of people to make it worth their while. There are 8 of us and I can usually find at least 2 more people to join us for any given field trip. Most places require or ask for a group of at least 10 people for them to take the time to host a field trip. We have just gone with only our family, but still 8 is a pretty good size group. I don't usually narrow my list down by these inquires into who would like to attend. But if your family is not as large as ours you may have to narrow the list down to field trips that have at least 10 people interested.
Once I know I have the 10 or so people that would commit to go I start to call and schedule the field trips with the different businesses. Usually people say they will go but you end up with about 2/3 of those people actually going, just a heads up, I usually call to schedule anyway.
I have a calendar printed up in front of me with our families major commitments on it like: homeschool co-op, appointments I can't change, church commitments, sport commitments, etc. I also list things that the majority of the things that the homeschool group will be doing like: open gym time, meetings, other events, etc. I figure that trying to host a field trip during the time that kids would normally be at say a soccer game might be a hard sell when asking for family participation in the field trip. Also, the families might be a little miffed that their child wanted to go do both events but I scheduled it during that time.
In front of me I also have an open email or Word document ready for me to type in the information so I can send it to the group when I am finished my calls.
I have made a list of the places of business for each field trip and phone numbers. When I call I write down the contact persons name, their direct line, and any specifics they give me like: no more than 25 people, no kids under 3yo, no open toed shoes, etc.
I almost always schedule field trips for Wednesday mornings. Why do I do this? I have no idea. Whenever I call I look down at my calendar and that is usually the only day free. It looks like it would fit nicely in the middle of the week. I really have no idea why I schedule them mainly on Wednesdays. But you should have some idea what day you would like to go on your field trips because the contact person will ask you, "When would you like to come?" I usually give the a list of the next 3 Wednesdays that are available. I also suggest to them that we usually do field trips in the mornings. Sometimes we have done them on different days and in the afternoon but for the most part they are on Wednesdays and in the morning hours.
I set up with them the date, time, and special requirements for that field trip OR I leave a message. In the message I say, "I would like to set up a school field trip to your place of business," and leave my contact info and sometimes possible dates for the field trip. Some people still do not know what homeschooling is but they understand if I say "school field trip" so I usually word it that way. Leaving a message is kind of a pain because I was hoping to set everything up right then when I call. I am appreciative that they are willing to host the field trip but waiting for that return phone call can take weeks.
In my email or Word document that I have open I list: the date and time of the field trip or I if I haven't gotten ahold of anyone I write TBD or "left message waiting to hear back" just so the other families know that it is in the works.
In the email to the homeschoolers I also ask that whoever is interested in coming to the field trip to let me know that they are interested.
As emails and texts come in from the homeschoolers interested, I start a list of people wanting to attend. Some field trips only allow 25 people so when I hit that number I don't stop, I continue adding names till I get to 30 because I know some won't show up on that day, happens every time. BUT the opposite can happen. I have had field trips where people just showed up without telling me and we were way over our number allowed. The business still let us have the field trip but had to split us into two groups and it was hard to reschedule with that bank again. So try and emphasize nicely that you need to know who will be attending.
When I have reached my limit for field trip participants I send out an email stating that that particular field trip is full.
I also set up an automatic calendar update to come through the group to remind them that the field trip is coming up.
The day before the field trip I call and remind the business that we will be coming.
The day of the field trip I try and be the first ones there. This is not always the case but I try. I find my contact person and let him/her know we are here.
I thank them at the end of the field trip for letting us come.
I try and remember to send a thank you note to them for allowing us to come. I am terrible at remembering this. Not sure why it is that way. I very much appreciate all they do/did but I totally forget. But you (and I) should send a thank you of some kind.
Here are some pictures from our Fire Department Field Trip last week.

I have a medium sized catalog with 26,000 images in a ton of folders. When I click a folder and scroll through the images, it takes a second or two for LR to render the preview picture. I'm curious if there's a way to have LR create the preview for the entire library so scrolling is quicker? It seems like once I scroll through a few pages, those images are now previewed and don't have to render again.
Or is it reading/rendering the preview in real-time as i scroll through them?
Lightroom stores previews as jpeg's, so they don't need to be rendered again each time. There is a problem however when previews need to be re-rendered, for example because you've edited the images. Previews that are not visible in the grid will not be re-rendered until you scroll them into sight, even when Lightroom is idle. The only way to avoid that is to select all images and choose 'Library - Previews - Build Standard-sized Previews'. That will force Lightroom to render them all.
That's what I was looking for.. thanks!

The Surrender of Julia (Now and Forever 3)
L.A. artist phenom Julia Santos appeared to have it all. Bisexual and hedonistic, she grasped hold of her life with both hands. But unknown to those around her, inside she was lost. While her best friend Carmen, a Domme, gave her a sense of security she'd never felt before, Julia fled from giving herself over fully to her and love.
Still reeling from the effects of an abusive childhood, Julia denied her growing feelings for Carmen and ran straight into the arms of adoring men, dominating them with her seductive nature to get what she wanted from them. However, the erotic power she held over them didn't give her the comfort she craved.
As she hurled herself further down the path of self-destruction, her behavior caught the attention of the Goddess Fate and her Guardian Angel Daniel. Together they intervene and transport her to the realm between life and death called the Island. There she's given a choice: stay and wait for her next rebirth, or go back and fight to be with the one who had been there for her through every lifetime.
Will she take the easy way out and leave all the pain behind, or will she choose the long and hard road in order to have her happily ever after with the Mistress of her dreams?
WARNING: This book contains graphic, explicit language and sex scenes involving the heroine and both male and female lovers.
This is the third novel in the Now and Forever series. What started with Siren Bookstrand, is continuing here with us at Sassy Vixen Publishing. Please specify the eBook format: PDF, EPUB, or MOBI in the NOTES TO SELLER section when you place your order. After your payment has been confirmed by PayPal, you will receive your eBook file by email within 48 hours.


Makeup artist Natalie Hayes joins us to talk about her work in the film, TV and corporate arenas.
Much of Hayes's makeup experience has been in corporate and commercial arenas. "Corporate/commercial makeup is all about creating a look that says 'conservative, clean attractiveness.' No matter how much makeup you are actually using, the end result should look like you have not used very much.
"On the men, I'm basically evening out skin tone, taking down any discoloration and shine, adding just a tad of cheek color and sculpting, minimizing any blemishes, and taming the brows. It's a finely-tuned version of who they already are.
"Then when it comes to film," says Hayes, "the world of possibilities… opens up and my limits are pleasantly pushed. For example, one day I can be making a female character look very tired, unattractive, and disheveled if her character did not sleep the night before in the story. Then the next time I'm making her up, she could be going to a formal event for a scene and need a glamorous and dramatic/bold smoky eye look with gorgeous red lips and beautiful, long lashes.
For Hayes, color theory is critical to the process of evening out skin tone. "Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel cancel each other out. So, say I'm doing makeup on a man who shows up with really red cheeks and nose. I will apply green color corrector to his red areas to neutralize the green, before applying any concealer or foundation.

We drew inspiration for this recent design from the natural texture of a rice bag, with colours inspired by the product itself. And as a playful finish the window shape provides a sneak peak at the tasty product and is reminiscent of an open mouth. Their fate foretold. We completed this design for a new client last April and have just recieved an advance photo from the manufacturer in China. Really looking forward to seeing the product on shelves soon.

I wonder what she's thinking.

Intel CEO Interrupts Own Press Conference To Thank Bushfire First Responders
Tegan Jones |
Image: Tegan Jones/Gizmodo Australia
CES is the kind of all-encompassing conference that should feel like it's a world away from the horrifying bushfires that are raging back home. But the devastating loss of lives, homes, land and wildlife hasn't been forgotten by Australian journalists. The mere sound of our accents is enough to draw questions and kind words from convention goers.
It also hasn't been forgotten by big players at CES itself, which was proven during Intel's press conference.
Around halfway through the show, Intel CEO Bob Swan took a moment to divert viewers attentions from its processor and Ghost Canyon NUC announcements to acknowledge fire fighters and other first responders in Australia.
"Today, the challenges we face in a global society are just getting more and more complex. They're getting bigger, they're getting tougher and harder to solve. It's just worth pausing for a moment to recognise the efforts... of the first responders in Australia. And the role that they're playing to try to eradicate the situation in Australia that's having a real impact. So I think it would be remiss if we didn't just pause to recognise the role of the first responders, to thank them and send our prayers and well wishes for their safety."
As reported by PC World, Swan brought up the bushfires off the back of speaking about the Missing Maps Project, which Intel has been working on in collaboration with the Red Cross.
The initiative utilises AI for disaster planning and response.
It's an open program that calls for volunteers to help map areas with vulnerable or disaster impacted people - including the addition of street names, neighbourhood details and the location of evacuation centres.
You can help map (there are tutorials to show you how) or even organise a mapathon to help an area en masse over on the Missing Maps website.

It's constructed entirely from stainless steel and features a dual mounting bolt pattern that either allows for a hidden install or one that has easy access to the mounting bolts. For hidden mounting, washers are provided to space the plate out even with the low profile bolt heads for a flush mount. Without it the license plate has to be either bolted on with one bolt or drilled to accommodate the different bolt pattern. With more JDM cars coming in under the 25 year rule this adapter offers a solution that will last for years to come.

Q: how to make contact us section working in static website like sending email using javascript and html? how to make the contact us section working in static website not server side language because i want to make it work with html, javascript like the person enters the Name, Email and Message in form and then click on send and the website owner recieve the person data to his email account, please send me the code of javascript and html that how can i do this work.

A: I would agree with Nicky.
Nevertheless, if you still want to get form values from static HTML you could do something like this :
<form action="mailto:owner@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
...
</form>

However, it will simply open up an email client with body containing raw key=value pairs... something like
field1=myvalue&field2=anothervalue

A: Without anything on your server-side, (no PHP etc.,) you're limited to using either:
1) A link with an href like "mailto:someone@somewhere.com?subject=something". i.e. You can do this client side with the form submit button hooked in JS to change the window.location.href to a mailto that has the email address and subject appended. You'd have to URL encode. You could possible append the body too but the entire URL would have to end up under ~2000 characters.
2) Something server-side on a third party site that your form submits to or you call, instead of something on your own server. i.e. a web service that can take a form post and email it out for you.
Pros and cons:

*

*1 Con - Need a mail client on the same machine as the web browser. Some might not have.

*1 Con - Can't readily take a rich text input from a form and submit that, but users can type rich text and attach files using a mail client.

*1 Pro - Everything is client side.

*1 Pro - Easiest to implement.

*2 Pro - No mail client required. You can use an HTML form and submit that.

*2 Pro - You can use form with multiple fields/rich text etc.

*2 Con - Probably a paid service so extra cost.

*2 Con - More complicated to implement.

*2 Con - Security concerns so need to check out carefully. Can someone else use this to send email, pretending it's a client submitting a form from your web site?

A: This can not be done solely with HTML and Javascript. Sending E-mail means you have to use mail protocols which are a special kind of request that a server can make, and JS just can not do it. Ifyou really want to do it, you should look into third party e-mail programs. But i advise you, just get a server for $6 extra per year, and you get php. The php is just a few lines of code, can be done in 1. It's really easy.

Competition for physicians remains intense
Andis Robeznieks
According to a story circulated at the Society of Hospital Medicine's sold-out annual conference this past May in Chicago, one healthcare executive attending was said to have voiced concern about all the recruiters and staffing agents working the booths. Apparently, he was afraid that if the staff physicians he brought with him visited the exhibition floor, he could lose them to another organization.
More [email protected] News
"It's a concern for hospitals; they are concerned about loss of talent because it is very competitive," says Rusty Holman, chief operating officer for Brentwood, Tenn.-based Cogent Healthcare, whose roster of about 350 physicians provides hospitalist services for facilities in 20 states. "They say for every hospitalist there are five or six job opportunities. I don't know if that's entirely accurate, but it is a fiercely competitive environment."
Holman, who was the 2007-08 president of the SHM, says that he doesn't doubt the story of the skittish executive is true.
"The exhibit hall was sold out well in advance of the meeting, and 45% of the exhibitors were registered as recruiting or staffing," Holman says. "And I have a feeling there were others there for multiple purposes—of which staffing may have been one."
Recruitment of physicians is indeed getting more competitive and threatening to become a full-contact sport. Irving, Texas-based recruiters Merritt Hawkins & Associates reports a 15.8% jump in business, conducting 3,288 physician and certified registered nurse anesthetist searches between April 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009, compared with 2,840 searches for the same period between 2005 and 2006.
Along with staffing and recruiting firms like Merritt Hawkins, many healthcare organizations employ their own recruiters. More than 1,200 of these workers belong to the Association of Staff Physician Recruiters, or ASPR, a 19-year-old organization based in St. Paul, Minn., that just released its first snapshot of who recruiters are and what they do.
The new Recruiter Benchmarking Survey, which is based on 2007 data, includes information on more than 4,700 physician searches conducted by 350 in-house recruiters covering almost 200 departments. The data were then analyzed by the Medical Group Management Association and compiled in a 118-page report.
"We need more participation," acknowledges Brett Walker, ASPR president and director of physician recruitment for the Indiana Clinic, a partnership between the Indiana University School of Medicine and Clarian Health, a six-hospital system based in Indianapolis. "But, in three years, this will be the gold standard on physician recruitment and retention."
Walker says he believes members of his organization were a little "gun-shy" about reporting so much information about their searches, so only about 25% of members participated in the inaugural survey. He expects that to double next year and then steadily increase each year thereafter.
"The industry has been starving for this," Walker says. "Up until this survey, there's nothing out there with good measurable data. We needed to develop a tool to measure best practices." Another use for the survey, Walker says, is to educate hospital executives on the fact that "doctors are not just falling out of trees."
"I got a call yesterday: 'Brett we just lost two neurosurgeons, and need one immediately,' " Walker recalls. "I say: 'OK. I'll stop off at the grocery store and pick one up on my way home.' "
Rusty Holman, M.D.
Aggravating the doc shortage
Walker says two factors are contributing to the increased competition for doctors, with one having to do with sheer numbers and the other being generational as younger physicians are not seeking to work the same number of hours as their predecessors.
"We're going to be in a constant recruitment mode because of the physician shortage," Walker says. "Also, we almost need to find two doctors to replace retiring physicians who worked 70 hours a week their whole career."
Cogent's Holman says workload limits have become a key to organizations landing the right physician, but he adds that they also contribute to the problem. "If the marketplace responds to a physician shortage by having physicians work less, you've fundamentally exacerbated the shortage," he says.
The key findings of the ASPR/MGMA survey were relatively predictable: Primary-care physicians are in high demand and, in general, physician searches take longer and cost more in the Midwest. For this study that region is composed of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Primary-care specialists dominated the top in-demand categories of the survey (See charts.) A search to attract an anesthesiologist to the Midwest took a little less time than a search in the East—a median of six months compared with five—but cost a lot more: roughly $25,400 for travel, lodging, entertainment, meals, advertisements and fees, compared with about $4,400, the survey found.
The states with the most physician searches conducted by in-house recruiters were Minnesota, with 677; Pennsylvania, 547; North Carolina, 498; Illinois, 320; Wisconsin, 257; and Missouri, 248. And while it cost just under $13,000 to find a hospitalist/internist for a Midwestern position, the median cost was about $5,100 for the South and $1,200 for the West.
A large percentage—almost 40%—of the recruiters responding to the survey were from the Midwest.
"Why? Because it's the toughest sale," Walker says. "We don't have oceans; we don't have mountains. We don't have anything exciting. You don't have to sell New York."
"For whatever reason," Walker also says, the survey found that in-house physician recruiters are overwhelmingly female: 83.2% vs. 16.8%. And almost 57% of all recruiters have a bachelor's degree while about 20% have a master's.
For the field as a whole, median in-house physician recruiter's compensation is generally in the low $60,000 range except in the West where it's $50,000. Otherwise, compensation depends on title. Physician recruitment directors had median compensation of about $90,300; managers made $67,400; recruiters, $60,000; and coordinators, $38,200.
Walker says the field is adapting to its changing world, which now finds 80% of physicians launching their searches online and 75% of physicians staying in their positions only two to three years at a time.
Adapting to these factors, Walker says he never makes an initial contact with a doctor by telephone anymore and that reference calls and background checks aren't made until near the end of the process.
"With a resident or fellow coming out of training, they're interviewing at six different places, and I wouldn't want my program director to be hit up six different times," Walker says. So he holds off until the call is vital to the process. "We don't initiate background checks unless we're about to give an offer—and often offers are given pending background checks and references."
Other game-changers include having to help a physician's spouse or significant other find a job in the community and dealing with relocation difficulties stemming from physicians not being able to sell their homes in a timely fashion.
Travis Singleton, vice president of marketing for Merritt Hawkins & Associates, says some organizations are going to great lengths to accommodate the physicians they want to bring into the fold.
"Hospitals will say, 'I'm going to buy your house,' if they have a neurosurgeon and that's what's standing in their way" of them joining the organization, Singleton says.
Signing bonuses are becoming customary, and another tactic more hospitals are using, Singleton says, is to increase signing bonuses by the amounts physicians lose selling their homes.
Walker says he likes to limit the hiring process to one or two interviews, with the second being mostly for final negotiations and to allow the physician to do some house hunting. He also recognizes that he may be footing the bill for other recruiters.
"If I fly someone out here for an interview, I can almost guarantee they're also interviewing with the competition," he says.
Search firms can work with in-house recruiters by taking some of the more intensive searchers off the in-house recruiters' plates, Singleton explains.
"There are over 1,000 of us and this is all we do," Singleton says. "We may have 10 to 15 people touching a search."
Search firms can also help by filtering out unqualified candidates or those who may be qualified but appear unlikely to be a good match for a particular environment, Singleton says. But he adds that this can backfire when clients are so impressed by a handful of candidates that they begin to believe all of the job seekers are as qualified as the ones they just interviewed. That's when recruiters are instructed to organize what Singleton calls "a beauty pageant."
"After a great search process, they say, 'They were great, let's see who else is out there,' " Singleton says. "They didn't see the frogs that had to be kissed to get them that prince."
That said, Singleton adds that recruiters are being given more authority to be flexible in adjusting offers. "The days of going back to the board to get an OK are through—the candidate is gone by that time," he says. "They're being approached earlier and more often and in more creative ways."
Holman says young physicians are looking for mentorship, and one way his company provides it is through professional development programs offered at its Cogent Academy. "If McDonald's can have its Hamburger University, we can have Cogent Academy," he says. "It's all designed to round out training you previously received but on things that were not well-covered such as quality improvement methods, coding and billing, or leadership and management skills. You don't get any of those things in medical school."
Holman says Cogent's goal is to match candidates with the environment that suits them best—such as opportunities for independence or teamwork depending on which they prefer.
"I think it is important to compensate fairly, but compensation is more of a 'dissatisfier' than it is a satisfier as no amount of compensation can make up for a position that has many other shortcomings," he says. "I talk to a lot of physicians who are compensated very highly but are still rather unhappy."
Holman says technical support is also important, as is having critical-care nurses, case managers and others who are just as dedicated to quality improvement as the physicians.
"We also offload administrative functions that physicians are neither trained to do nor enjoy doing," Holman says.
And then there are situations where things just don't work out. Holman tells of one physician Cogent hired who had a wife and young child. The doctor went to work at a hospital in a small Texas town while his wife looked after their child. Although the arrangement worked for a while, when the child was old enough to attend school, the wife wanted to re-enter the workforce but there were no opportunities, and soon after the doctor and his family left.
For job candidates, however, Singleton says spousal discontent with a community is often used as a tactful way to turn down an offer—especially an offer made by an in-house recruiter because candidates will always view them as a potential employer down the road, and the candidate doesn't want to burn any bridges.
"That's the easiest answer to for them to tell you," Singleton says. "Maybe they didn't like your money, didn't like your space or didn't like the rotation. But what's the easiest thing to tell you? My wife or husband didn't like their fit with the community."
Of course some physicians just suffer from the grass-is-always-greener-someplace-else syndrome, recruiters say.
"There is no utopia. I tell that to people all the time," Singleton says. "I say, 'Doctor, you don't need a recruiter; you need a travel agent.' "

A small constellation in the southern hemisphere, Columba was created by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius in the 16th century. However, it later appeared in Johann Bayer's star atlas Uranometria in 1603. The constellation is represented as a bird with flapping wings, holding an olive spring in its mouth and is hence, meant 'dove' in Latin. After the dove told Noah that the Great Flood was receding, Plancius originally named it 'Columba Noae' or 'Noah's Dove'. As it is a southerly constellation, it can be seen by those living in the southern United States. Columba belongs to the Heavenly Waters family of constellations. Let us discuss further about this constellation.
Which stars comprise the constellation?
Of the numerous stars in this constellation, some of the notable ones are:
Phact or Aplha Columbae: It is the brightest star in this constellation. Its traditional name Phact is derived from an Arabic word Al-Fakhita meaning 'the dove' or 'ring dove'. Belonging to the spectral class B7IVe, it has an apparent magnitude of about 2.60 and is approximately 270 light years distant.
Wezen or Beta Columbae: It is the second brightest star of this constellation. Its traditional name is derived from the Arabic word meaning 'the weight'. It is a giant star with an apparent magnitude of about 3.12 and lies approximately 86 light years away.
Ghusn al Zaitum: It is a spectroscopic binary star. Its traditional name is derived from the Arabic phrase al-ghuşn al-zaitūn meaning 'olive branch'. With a yellow giant for a primary component, the star has a close companion which has an orbital period of about 2.38 years. It has a magnitude of about 3.853 and is approximately 237 light years distant.
Y Columbae or Gamma Columbae: It is a blue sub giant. With a magnitude of about 4.35, it is located about 854 light years away from the solar system.
Μ Columbae ro Mu Columba: It is a runaway star. This star completes one rotation in 1.5 days and hence, is also referred as the fast rotating star. Generally, it is believed that the star has been removed from the Orion constellation. Its apparent magnitude is about 5.15 and it is one of the O–class stars seen with the naked eye. Mu Columbae lies approximately 1,300 light years distant.
Ε Columbae or Epsilon Columbae: It is a giant star that belongs to K1 IIIa spectral class. With a magnitude of 3.875, it is approximately 531 light years away.
Η Columbae or Eta Culumbae: It is a yellow–orange giant. It has an apparent magnitude of 3.946 and lies approximately 531.2 light years distant.
Does it contain any deep sky objects or galaxies?
Columba does not have many notable deep objects, a few of them include:
NGC 1808: It is a barred spiral galaxy, also referred to as the Seyfert galaxy. It has a lot of similarities with the Milky Way and is believed to have a lot of star forming activity that occurs in it. It has an unusual nucleus which is shaped like a warped disk that shows odd flows of hydrogen gas flowing out of the central regions. It lies approximately 40 million light years distant.
NGC 1851: It is a globular cluster for Columba. Its magnitude is 7.3 and it lies about 39,500 light years distant.
What is its position in the galaxy?
Seen at latitudes between +45° and -90°, it lies in the first quadrant of the southern hemisphere.
How much space does it occupy in the sky?
It occupies an area of 270 square degrees, making it the 54th constellation in the sky. The star furthest away in this constellation is 270 light years distant from the earth and the closest star is 86 light years away, hence, it can be said that Columba is 270 light years distant from the earth.
What is the cultural or mythological significance of Columba?
According to a Greek mythological story, Columba represents Noah's dove. Petrus created the constellation behind Argo Navis constellation meaning 'Noah's Ark'. According to the myth, Noah sent his dove from the Ark in search of a dry land. The bird returned with an olive branch in its beak; this was a signal that the flood was receding. According to some myths, Columba represents the dove sent by Argonauts between the Clashing Rocks to ensure that there was a safe passage to pass by.
Which are its neighbouring constellations?
Columba is surrounded by constellation such as Caelum, Canis Major, Lepus, Pictor and Puppis.

Giant Steps: André Yruretagoyena's Life After Football
Jordan Ingram April 17, 2015 FishWrap, FishWrap Archive
Jordan Ingram reporting for FishDuck.com in an exclusive interview with former Oregon Ducks offensive lineman, André Yruretagoyena.
The 2015 Oregon Ducks are halfway through spring practices, and the excitement and anticipation from fans that comes with a new season continues to grow. But for one former Oregon player, the spring season signifies a rebirth of a different kind. Senior André Yruretagoyena has chosen to forego his fifth and final year of playing eligibility with the Ducks to focus on his health and education.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Yruretaogyena won't be preparing for an upcoming football season. I got a chance to ask Yruretagoyena about his career at Oregon and the factors that went into his decision to retire from college football.
FishDuck: How long have you played football?
André Yruretagoyena: 9 years following this season.

FD: As a lineman, how long have you been encouraged to gain weight and when did it really start to become important?
AY: Not until my junior and senior years of high school, because I was playing varsity then and that was when I started mauling dudes, which led to scholarship offers. It started to become important the summer coming into my freshman year at Oregon. However, I gained all the wrong weight. So, up until my final year when I earned a starting spot was when I was at my best physically. All seasons before that I was trying to earn playing time while struggling to gain good weight and confidence. Anyways, that year I finally earned a starting spot I was about [roughly] 305 and between 10 & 15 percent body fat.
FD: Did carrying all that weight become painful?
Kevin Cline
Andre [left] warms up before the Michigan State game.
AY: My weight never became painful, but it was a pain to keep on with how hard practices were. The most I ever lost in one practice was 11 pounds. The other thing was that the weight gets annoying after all these years because who in their right mind wants to weigh 300 pounds when they don't need to be? The toughest thing now that I have so much free time and my life isn't structured around football is developing a strict diet. I've been eating whatever I want, when I want, since 8th grade and now I can't do that because I'd be the star of the next World's Heaviest Man if I kept up those bad habits. Also, the workouts aren't mandatory so you just have to remind yourself that you need to lose this weight for your own health.

FD: What ultimately caused you to retire?
AY: I retired mainly because I knew it was time to be done. My mind wasn't in it like it used to be and football is not a sport you can just go through with that type of mindset. A college football team at this level thrives and succeeds because a bunch of individuals come together to compete for a common goal. That being said, one hell of a mindset is required and that was something I didn't have anymore. It wasn't fair of me to be around my teammates with that attitude and it especially wasn't fair to the younger guys. They need to look up to people like Tyler [Johnstone]. He's a great leader and teams succeed with people like him in charge. My health didn't help either. To this day I am still not fully recovered from the Michigan State game. The training staff encourages me to come in for treatment but I am too stubborn to go over there and waste their time, especially in the middle of spring ball. That staff is absolutely incredible and I can't thank them enough for getting me back on the field before that season ended. The ankle heals slowly but what makes me laugh is that my ankle wasn't my main injury that day.
A sullen Yruretagoyena is carted off the the field during the Michigan State game last year. Andre says he still hasn't fully recovered from the injury sustained in that game.
FD: What did the doctors tell you regarding your injury at Michigan State?
AY: Well, I'll tell you my injury now: I broke my leg and had a bad ankle sprain. Even now my ankle still bothers me. I ride the bike at the gym. I tried running and it does not feel good. That's okay, I don't like running for no apparent reason. I'll leave that to my roommate Russell, who's on the track team. The doctors said it would be a minimum of two months, but let's be realistic here; bones may heal in that time but ankles do not.
FD: How long did you know that the 2014 season would be your last?

— Tyler Stansbury (@Tylertas) November 22, 2014
AY: I've been having thoughts of only playing for four years since I was a sophomore. After my junior season, which was disappointing, I gave it one more go with everything I had and it worked out well. Even after starting games I knew coming back for a fifth year was going to be tough. My deciding factors were 1. Do I really want to go through another year of this? I knew I wasn't happy, so that was an easy choice. 2. My health, which wasn't 100%. I've just been very ready to move on and don't regret my choice at all. I miss my teammates and the experience but I've had such an incredible four years and wouldn't trade the memories for anything.
FD: What kind of pressure do you think other linemen from other programs feel to gain and maintain weight?
AY: I really don't know what other linemen feel in terms of pressure. Every program is different. Especially when it comes to how much weight, how much also turns into the kind of weight, good or bad. Oregon does a great job at making sure its athletes are healthy and in the best shape possible. I see other linemen that weigh [roughly] 340 and I am just in awe. You can be as big as you want but that size can't keep up with the speed and conditioning of the Ducks. I know that linemen are not always the most confident off the field, which is why I feel so bad for some of these guys that don't play and weigh so much. Weight like that isn't easy to lose. However, some of the guys I've had the pleasure of being around over the years own the weight. I loved being able to joke about my weight. It's a great ice breaker … because we aren't the prettiest. Or are we? I haven't talked with linemen from other programs about these things.

FD: What was a typical day in the life like as an Oregon football player from sunrise to bedtime during the season?
AY: Haha. I'll enjoy answering this. This schedule has been my life for four years and it's crazy how much it affects you, but it will be very beneficial because waking up early is a piece of cake. A typical game week involves any sort of this:
Wake-up: 6:30
Breakfast/Treatment: 6:45-7:30ish
Lifting or meetings: 7:45-8:30
Practice: 9-11
School responsibilities: 12-6
Meetings and dinner: 6:30-7:45
*Tutors can also occur after dinner from 8-9
Despite how demanding this schedule is, and by no means is this entirely accurate, it's just going off memory, it really develops a work ethic that can't be beat. Rise early, work all day, sleep, and repeat. I am forever grateful for this schedule because now that I'm done with football and have to wake up at this time or earlier, I go to work instead of workouts or very difficult practices. It all transitions into the real world. The other thing I hope this schedule shows is how long a student-athlete's day is. These schedules vary across all sports but nothing makes me angrier than seeing people bash on athletes, then cheer us on when game time rolls around. To piggyback that, my favorite person on campus is the one that stereotypes every athlete to be the same person and proceeds to explain how going a month in our shoes is so simple. I would love nothing more than to watch that. I'm willing to bet they'd throw in the towel after the warm-up (which I don't miss).
FD: Physically speaking, how are you feeling since you decided to retire?
AY: I've lost over 20 pounds since my departure from the team and have never felt better. I still have a long way to go but I'm used to the grind!
FD: What was your greatest football memory at Oregon?

AY: My greatest football memory was watching Marcus win the Heisman. It still sends chills down my spine knowing that for a brief, and when I say brief… I mean BRIEEEEF, amount of time I blocked for a Heisman Trophy winner. On top of that, just knowing the kind of person Marcus is made it that much better. That guy truly embodies what it takes to be a Heisman winner and it is an honor calling him a friend.

If you've made your way to this mortgage refinancing page, then the chances are that you already have an idea what this type of task involves.
Oh, you would like a reminder? Sure thing! Mortgage refinancing is the act of finding a brand new home loan deal to replace your old one.
So, why would you do this you ask? Well, the most logical reason would be to make sure that you are taking full advantage of the most competitive interest rates on the market.
Here at Tundra Mortgage Broker Melbourne we specialise in this incredibly technical task!
How can we help with your home loan refinance?
Let's imagine that you took your mortgage out a decade ago and signed up to a pretty uncomfortable deal – one that still has interest rates too high.
Or, perhaps you are looking to extend you loan and use the cash for other purposes – renovations, consolidation or just a holiday.
At Tundra, we consider it our job to make sure that you are able to modify your loan agreement in a way that suits your finances; and mortgage refinancing could very well be the right way to go!
So, how can we help exactly? Well, the first thing that we will do is to evaluate what you've been putting up with so far. We'll then gauge how it compares to current terms and interest rates, before suggesting the most suitable course of action to you.
