While you're checking in, there's a convenient place to hook your dog's leash while you're at the counter and plastic bags in case there's an accident. "Dogs only" means less stress for your dog—and for you.
We offer two different "dogs-only" exam rooms — one for smaller dogs, one for larger dogs. Each exam room features an appropriately sized dog bed and scale. And the use of "dog appeasing pheromones" helps keep dogs calm throughout their stay.
In our dog wards, kennels are used that accommodate all dog sizes. Dogs with infectious diseases are kept in isolation, both for their protection while their immunity is lowered, and to keep all other pets in the clinics disease free. And for dogs that need more room to move, dog runs are available.

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers reinstated pitcher Rich Hill from the 10-day disabled list to start Tuesday night's game against the D-backs and optioned Brock Stewart back to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Hill, 30, has been out nearly three weeks -- first with a torn nail on the middle left finger, then for an infection in the same finger, then being pushed back from an expected weekend return because of the injury to Clayton Kershaw. Hill is 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in four starts.
Stewart has made two relief appearances for the Dodgers this season in two callups.

For the first time, the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association have issued guidelines aimed at reducing stroke risk in women. Each year, 55,000 more strokes occur in women than in men and represent the third leading cause of death for women (they're the fifth leading cause for men).
Pregnancy: Women with high blood pressure before pregnancy or a history of preeclampsia (pregnancy-related high blood pressure) should be considered for a low-dose aspirin regimen to decrease the risk of preeclampsia; aspirin should be taken from the 12th week of gestation until delivery.
Women with a systolic blood pressure of 150 to 159 mm Hg and a diastolic reading of 100 to 109 mm Hg should be considered for blood pressure medication. Pregnant women with blood pressure of 160/110 mm Hg should be treated.
History of preeclampsia: This condition should be considered a risk factor for stroke later in life.
Hormonal contraceptives: Having high blood pressure and taking birth control pills raise the risk of stroke, so women should be screened before taking the pill.
Migraines: Women who experience migraines with aura should avoid smoking to avoid further increasing risk.
Atrial fibrillation: Women older than 75 should be screened for this heart arrhythmia.

Relaxation response. Every day, go alone to a quiet place. Sit with eyes closed and focus your thoughts on your breathing until it becomes even and slow. Use four counts to inhale, pause, then exhale four counts. At the same time, repeat one word to yourself such as "calm" or "slow." Practice daily; soon it will become effortless.
Progressive muscle relaxation. Find a quiet spot and sit or lie comfortably with eyes closed. One by one, tense your muscle groups for 10 seconds, and then release them. Start by scrunching your cheeks, eyes and eyebrows into a knot, hold for 10 seconds, then release. Next, shrug your shoulders, hold and release. Then tense and release your fists, arms, stomach, buttocks, legs and toes. As you release, feel the warmth from your muscles. Imagine "seeing" your stress evaporate.
It is now several weeks into the New Year. How are your resolutions going? If you are having trouble keeping them, try setting them as S.M.A.R.T. goals! What's a S.M.A.R.T. goal you might ask?
A S.M.A.R.T. goal is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.
Specific: Write as much information as you can about your goals. Is there anyone else involved besides you? What exactly do you want to accomplish? What are the precise steps that you need take to make this goal a reality?
Measurable: Give yourself goals that have numbers or values to make it easier to track how you are doing and how close you are getting to reaching your goal. Use benchmarks or milestones if this will help you stay motivated.
Attainable: Are your goals actually in your power to change? Keep in mind finances, body shape, what is going to be good for your health etc. Make sure your goals do not go against the things you cannot change. Visualize the change you want to make and stick to it.
Realistic: Try not to set outlandish goals. Don't be afraid to take baby steps. It is better to set a smaller goal and then set a new goal once you've accomplished the first one than set a large goal that seems/is impossible to reach.
Timely: Put your goals in a time frame to help you keep your focus. Does this time frame give you enough time to safely complete your goals? Where do your milestones fit into the time frame you have set?
Once you have set your S.M.A.R.T. goals, write them down on paper and keep them in a place where you can review them. Place notes around your house as motivation, especially in places where you are more likely to not follow your goals. Write down accomplishments and milestones that you have achieved alongside your original goal and pat yourself on the back!
Goal – Eat five homemade dinners a week at home.
Do not stop at fast food on my way home from work! Even if I am tired.
Complete the rest of the cooking process when I get home as needed per night and ENJOY!
This could even be one step in several steps to a long term goal of weight loss. What are some changes that you will make to make your goals S.M.A.R.T.?

Boys track looking for another successful season
Sophomore sprinter Marshall Ellis practices his sprints at a practice in the field house. The varsity boys track team looks to get off to a fast start in a quad meet at the field house next Saturday.
Jotham Israel, Sports Writer
The H-F boys varsity track team is starting the 2019 season with high expectations.
Last year, they placed second in the state finals and were ranked number one throughout most of the season.
However, the team felt like they should've won state, and it left a bitter aftertaste on the players and coaches, including senior sprinter Joshua Bridges.
Bridges, who will be attending the University of Pennsylvania next year, was battling with a hamstring injury late last season.
"I wasn't able to perform to the best of my ability at state and I felt like I let the team down a little bit," Bridges said. "It was pretty heartbreaking for the whole team."
Unlike in most other sports, track athletes can't persist their injuries and still perform at a high level.
During sectionals, Bridges got treatment from laser therapy so he can run at state, but it was still bothering him, preventing him from being at his best.
He did as much as he could for his team, but it wasn't enough to lift the team to a state championship.
"It was hard to see our athletes hurting after they put everything they had into the ultimate goal from day one," Varsity Head Coach Nate Beebe said.
That disappointment from last season brings us to the hype centered around the team this season.
This year's players are ready for the start of the 2019 season, including sophomore sprinter Marshall Ellis.
"We had one of the best teams in the state last year and we have a lot of returning players, so we're extremely excited and are looking forward to this season, especially since we had a tremendous season last year," Ellis said.
The team has its own motto called "Trust the process to achieve and exceed," and last year, the team did just that.
Beebe led his team to the best season in team history, with his team breaking seven records for H-F varsity boys track. The team boasted ten all-state runners.
While there is a lot of hype around the boys, there's also just as much pressure on them to succeed.
"There will be a target on our back, but we have to overcome it," Ellis said. "Last year, we had to work for what we got, and I think it will be just about the same this year."
There's different ways the players handle the pressure. Some players are zeroed in on getting the job done.
"We don't try to focus on the buzz from the outside, we try to focus on ourselves," Bridges said. "We want to perfect our craft throughout the week with practices and make it all come together."
Other players like senior sprinter Jesuseun Adeyiga are more relaxed and calm with the pressure.
"I'm just going to chill and lay low for a little bit, but when May comes, that's when we pop off," Adeyiga said. "We have to make sure we hit those times so we're ready for state when it matters the most."
The varsity boys have a high level of confidence and love to have fun, but as the bar is raised high for them, they still have their eyes set on another successful season.

First off, does anyone know what TKA stands for?
TKA stands for Total Knee Arthroplasty, also known as Total Knee Replacement. TKA is a surgical procedure to replace parts of your knee joint with artificial parts, and it happens to be one of the most successful procedures in medicine.
The first knee replacement was in 1968, and since then the knee has become the most commonly replaced joint in the body! Surprisingly, the demand for TKA is coming from the younger generations, rather than the older generations, and this is due to the presence of osteoarthritis (OA).
Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, and it causes pain and stiffness in the joints. There are strong links between knee osteoarthritis and people with high body mass indexes.
A successful total knee replacement typically results in less pain, improved mobility and a higher quality of life. In many cases individuals are able to return to normal daily activities, recreational hobbies, and work with less pain. Prior to surgery they may have had to stop these activities all together.
A physical therapist is an integral part of the team who will help patients during their recovery process. TKA patients work with a physical therapist to regain movement and function and return to daily activities. Your physical therapist can help you prepare for and recover from surgery and develop an individualized program to get you moving again safely.
Demonstrate how you will walk after your operation and prepare you for the use of an assistive device, such as a walker.
Discuss precautions and home adaptations with you prior to surgery, as it is always easier to make these modifications before you have TKA surgery.
After surgery, your physical therapist will customize a treatment plan for range-of-motion exercises, progression of strengthening exercises, balance training, functional training, and activity-specific training to address your goals.
It is very important to protect your knee replacement! A few ways to do this are: participate regularly in light exercise programs to maintain strength and mobility of your new knee, take special precautions to avoid falls and injuries, and avoid high-impact sports such as running and sports that involve heavy contact.
* There are approximately 700,000 knee replacement procedures performed in the US annually.
*By year 2030 it is projected to increase to over 3 million per year.
*Nearly half the patients receiving knee replacements are 65 years of age or younger.
*63% of the patients who receive a total knee replacement are women in the United States.
*Total knee replacement surgeries are far more common in the South than any other region.
If you or someone you love is considering a knee replacement, reach out to one of our 14 locations to schedule a free consultation.

Judicial review of fees for employment tribunals dismissed....again!
Lamentably, for impoverished claimants, Unison's judicial review application, challenging the legality of employment tribunal fees, was dismissed this morning by the High Court; the reasons will appear on BAILII today.
Some injury to feelings awards deemed 'taxable'...Will this mean grossing up?
The First Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) in Moorthy v Revenue & Customs Commissioners has decided that some injury to feelings awards will be taxable.
Any payment made "directly or indirectly in consideration or in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with" the termination of employment was said to be taxable under s.401 Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003.
The First Tier Tribunal drew a distinction between cases where injury to feelings compensation is paid where it is, or is not, "directly or indirectly in consideration or in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with" the termination of employment.
No doubt this definition of Byzantine complexity will further darken the already murky waters for practitioners when attempting to grope for a settlement whilst trying to work out tax liabilities for their client.
Judge resigns after racist remark about a woman called Patel
An immigration judge has been forced to resign as a district judge after making a racist remark about a crime victim reports The Guardian.
Richard Hollingworth was hearing a case of harassment at Preston magistrates court when he told officials to bring the victim, Deepa Patel, to court because he wanted to complete his sentencing that afternoon.
The prosecutor, Rachel Parker, said she thought it was too short notice and didn't know whether Patel could get the time off work.
Hollingworth asked where she worked, and Parker said she did not know. The judge replied: "It won't be a problem. She won't be working anywhere important where she can't get the time off. She'll only be working in a shop or an off-licence."
However, Hollingworth remains an immigration judge, something that leaves CPS officials "astonished". That role may be short-lived, as the judge's outburst is being considered by Lord Justice Gross, the senior presiding judge for England and Wales.
Plumber deemed a worker - Pimlico Plumbers v Smith.
A plumber who wore a 'Pimlico' Plumber's uniform, drove a van and payment was made to Pimlico was deemed a 'worker and not an employee' in Pimlico Plumbers v Smith.
In upholding the decision that he was not an employee, the EAT held the employment tribunal had been entitled to have regard to the Claimant's financial risk, the degree of autonomy as to quotations and how work was carried out. It was also of significance that both parties acted as though the Claimant was self-employed.
The terms of the agreement between the Claimant and Pimlico as found by the Employment Tribunal, included the following;
1. The Claimant was a self employed operative described as an independent contractor of the Company, in business on your own account. Nothing in this Agreement shall render you an employee, agent or partner of the Company and liable to account for his income tax and value added tax and social security contributions.
2. He was required to provide all his own tools, equipment, materials and other items required.
3. The Claimant accepted personal liability for work undertaken by him.
4. The Claimant was required to provide insurance.
5. Normal Working Hours consisted of a 5 day week, with a minimum of 40 hours.
6. There was no express provision permitting the Claimant to provide a substitute in respect of services he had agreed to provide.
As a matter of practice Pimlico permitted operatives to transfer work to other operatives but there was no unfettered right to substitute another operative.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal derived the following principles from the authorities;
In considering whether a person is a limb (b) worker the starting point must be the words of the statute and that there is no one formula or characteristic than can be said to be determinative.
1. The Court or Tribunal must take a holistic approach and may take account of matters such as the degree of subordination of the worker to the 'employer' and the degree of his integration into the 'employer's' business and also whether the contract between employer and 'worker' was in essence a contract between two independent business undertakings; the extent to which the 'worker' carried out work other than for the 'employer' and his right to do so.
2. The employer of a person integrated into the employer's workforce and carrying out work for that employer is in no sense his customer or client.
3. If a 'worker' carries out work for more than one 'employer' he can nonetheless be a limb (b) worker of one or more such employers if the statutory criteria are met.
In this case the issue of substitution became relevant:
100. The relevant authorities in determining whether a person was an employee or worker including those of Ready Mixed Concrete and Market Investigations were considered in the Supreme Court by Lord Clarke in Autoclenz [2011] ICR 1157. At paragraph 19 Lord Clarke stated:
"Three further propositions are not I think contentious:
i) As Stephenson LJ put it in Nethermere (St Neots) Ltd v Gardiner [1984] ICR 612, 623,
'There must … be an irreducible minimum of obligation on each side to create a contract of service'.
ii) If a genuine right of substitution exists, this negates an obligation to perform work personally and is inconsistent with employee status: Express & Echo Publications Ltd v Tanton ('Tanton') [1999] ICR 693, per Peter Gibson LJ at p 699G.
iii) If a contractual right, as for example a right to substitute, exists, it does not matter that it is not used. It does not follow from the fact that a term is not enforced that such a term is not part of the agreement: see eg Tanton at p 697G.
The essential question in each case is what were the terms of the agreement."
The vital paragraph in relation to 'limb b' workers such as the present case deals with the relevance of the right to provide a substitute worker and whether it makes any difference if that right is unfettered or not:
'120. I apprehend that in this regard the position of putative employees and limb (b) workers is similar; Premier Groundworks was a case involving limb (b) workers rather than employees. Even if the Respondent could establish that the Claimant had a contractual right to delegate his work or to provide a substitute the Claimant would still be considered to be a limb (worker) because his right was not unfettered.'

Failure to provide psychiatric services - Croft Vets v Butcher Appeal No. UKEAT/0430/12/LA UKEAT/0562/12
Dismissal - Fareham College Corporation v Walters (see above).
In this case, the employer laid itself open to criticism and a finding that it failed to
make reasonable adjustments. Its conduct provides a list of 'actions to be avoided
at all costs':
• The manager dealing with the capability procedure did not have any knowledge
or understanding of the claimant's underlying condition;
• The respondent did not have up to date medical reports as to the claimant's
position or prognosis;
• The manager who concluded that it was unlikely that the claimant would be
able to return to her position on a full time basis was unable to explain the
reasoning which led him to that conclusion;
• The respondent failed to consider that allowing the claimant to return using a
phased return or in an alternative role might only be necessary in the short
term, and therefore in dismissing the possibilities due to the difficulties such
steps would have on educational delivery, failed to demonstrate that the
adjustments were not reasonable under s.18B.

Senior citizens from St Margarets and the wider Richmond borough celebrated Christmas early, thanks to an annual Christmas dinner even provided by the St Margarets Fair organising committee, held at the Turks Head Pub on Wednesday, 5 December.
Here is a list of church services for Christmas Eve and Christmas for some local churches in the St Margarets area.
Residents are being reminded that their collection times will be subject to change over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
One of the UK's leading clean water charities, The One Foundation, have today launched a new charity fundraising initiative for Christmas - London's Big Charity Christmas Raffle - which will run until 4pm on Christmas Eve.
Exciting weekly workshops offer budding young artists the opportunity to get out of the classroom and explore a broad range of artistic media with our experienced gallery artists. Exciting projects are delivered in group sizes of no more than sixteen in specially equipped workshop spaces allowing participants to try messy and adventurous media!
One of the country's leading employment charities for wounded, injured and sick veterans has been awarded the borough's highest honour in recognition of its work.
As part of the borough's commemoration activities to mark the end of 100 years since World War 1, councillors presented representatives from The Poppy Factory with the honour at a special Council meeting last night.
Just before we settle into three weeks of non-stop 'knees-up'and conspicuous consumption let us consider, if only in the name of balance, some of the less cheery fire-side folklore lurking in the darker corners of Christmas Eve.
To make recycling across Richmond upon Thames even easier, recycling points for unwanted electric and electronic items are being made available at most libraries across the borough.
It may be the season of goodwill but fraudsters are working overtime at Christmas, says Richmond Council.
To help residents spot the scams and not fall prey to the criminals, Richmond Council have come up with a "12 scams of Christmas".


I set up 2 Samsung Galaxy s4 phones with FreedomPop. Calls, text and data only work under WiFi. When I am outside of WiFi, or turn WiFi off, I get a "Network Not Available!" error.
I am in Chicago and I definitely have 4G coverage, I have been using a FreedomPop Hub Burst without any problem. There are bars on the phone.
So what is the trick to get these phones to work under 4G/3G? Having it work under WiFi only defeats the whole purpose of having a cell phone and I'm not getting what I paid for.
If you need the MSL codes for your phones, PM me the MEID/ESN of each of the phones, and I'll be able to to give them to you.
OK I did all that but then in order to get both phones to activate I had to do the Update Profile and Update PRL. We are still having some issues, though. My wife couldn't call me for over an hour from Chicago O'Hare airport.
Also, the bootup splash screen is the yellow Sprint one and not the blue FreedomPop one. Plus we never get the FreedomPop logo in the upper left.
When I set these up I used the HEX, and not the DEC... if that matters.
@DSiegfried What are the HEX and DEC numbers for the phones? I can verify if there is not a mismatch on the accounts.

Claiming for whiplash? You may have to prove it
Leah Milner
Thursday January 12 2012, 12.01am, The Times
Pressure from Jack Straw, the former Justice Secretary, has already pushed the Government to propose reforms
JIM CLARKE
MPs are calling for a higher threshold of proof for whiplash claims in an attempt to cut the soaring cost of car insurance.
The Transport Select Committee said insurers, solicitors and claims management companies were largely to blame for the rise in premiums, which have nearly doubled in five years.
Businesses encouraged people to claim for personal injuries, car hire and other costs because of a "merry-go-round" of referral fees, the committee said in its second report into the "dysfunctional" car insurance market.
Average premiums rose by nearly 10 per cent over the past year, from £1,332 to £1,458, the latest index from the AA is expected to show.
Whiplash accounts for 70 per cent of personal injury claims to car insurers but it has

How to strengthen your core and protect your back for half price today.
Don't give up on your New Year's resolutions! I have a deal that can help you get fit while also easing your back pain.
If a standing desk is not within your budget or you've simply been curious about all the people who sit on exercise balls, there has never been an easier way to improve your core. All you need to do is sit!
Prior to owning this exercise ball, I learned that I have the world's worst posture. Severe back pain at 33 years of age did not make any sense. After seeking advice from a physical therapist, two personal trainers and a chiropractor, I learned I needed to change the way I sit and stretch. A stability ball was recommended to me by everyone I spoke with and today I'm sharing a deal I found on the best stability ball I've tested.
There are many stability balls on the market but the best one I tested will not burst like several models we tried and it has a whopping 2000-pound weight capacity.
Click the play button to see the ball in action.


I have taken this couples photos since they began, when they were engaged, when they had their baby and now a growing family. I love my sister and I am so happy that they have recently moved back to Arizona from Virginia. Kathryn wanted a desert landscape and this was such a fun place to take them to for a variety of desert backdrops. Who knew the desert could be so pretty.
I loved the facial expressions captured here; isn't she a doll. I couldn't decide which picture I liked better, the black and white or color so I put both of them up.
I also had a lot of fun playing around with Photoshop and doing a few new poses.
I couldn't decide which picture I liked better! The close crop of their hands or the one where she is holding her daughter and looking at her hubby. I think they are both nice and couldn't help but include both of them. Playing with some sun flare! I loved the entanglement of these trees, are we really in Arizona?


All the people at my house are feeling under the weather, and I had a bunch of overripe bananas sitting on the counter, so I decided to try to perk us all up with some cake for an afternoon snack. I adapted a recipe I found on Pinterest, jotting down my modifications in case it turned out (happily it did). My pickiest kid asked for three servings.
As usual, this recipe is super customizable, so do what works best for you and what you have available.
Preheat oven to 375 and grease or spray an 8"x8" baking pan (or line with parchment).
If using a blender, add all ingredients to blender and puree until blended. Stir in chocolate chips (optional).
If not using a blender, combine wet ingredients in a medium bowl, mashing bananas well. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and make a well. Add wet ingredients and mix well; fold in chocolate chips (optional).
However you blend your batter, transfer to pan and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes. I sprinkled mine with oats to make it look fancy, but that is totally unnecessary. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or when it springs back to the touch. Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, if your people let you (mine did not).
To make nut free: substitute 1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose flour blend for almond meal.
Substitutes for maple syrup could be coconut sugar, honey or cane sugar.

Q: Find the basis of some direct complement of the subspace $M$ in vector space $P_3$ Let $M=\{p \in P_3 : p(2)=0$ and $ p(1-x)=p(1+x)\}$. Find the basis of some direct complement of the subspace $M$ in vector space $P_3$.
In order to do this, I first have to find the basis for $M$. But how do I that?
This is what I did:
$p(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$
$p(2)=8a+4b+2c+d=0$ $\Rightarrow p(x)=a(x^3-8)+b(x^2-4)+c(x-2)$
Then  $p(1-x)=a(-x^3+3x^2-3x-7)+b(x^2-2x-3)+c(-1-x)$ and $p(1+x)=a(x^3+3x^2+3x-7)+b(x^2+2x-3)+c(x-1)$
If $p(1-x)=p(1+x)$ then
$-x^3+3x^2-3x-7=x^3+3x^2+3x-7$,
$x^2-2x-3=x^2+2x-3$ and
$-1-x=x-1$
From this I get $x=0$, but I still don't understand how to find the basis.

A: Do some polynomial arithmetic first:

*

*$p(2)=0$, hence $p(x)$ is divisible by $x-2$;

*$p(1-x)=p(1+x)$, hence setting $x=1$, you have $p(1)=p(2)=0$, so $p(x)$ is also divisible  by $x$. We conclude that
$$(x)=x(x-2)(ax+b)\quad (a,b\in\mathbf R)$$
The second condition becomes
$$-(1-x)(1+x)(a+b-ax)=(1+x)(-1+x)(a+b-ax)\iff a=0.$$

Thus $ M$ is the $1$-dimensional subspace $\;\langle\, x(x-2)\,\rangle$.
There remains to find a set of $3$ linearly independent polynomial which, together with $p(x)$, generate $\mathbf R_3$. As this space has dimension $4$, we know a set of $4$ generators is a basis. The set $\{\, 1,x,x^3\,\}$ is an obvious candidate.

A: You have
$$
0 = p(1 + x) - p(1 - x) = ax^3 + (3a + 2b + c)x,
$$
which is true iff $a = 0$ and $2b + c = 0$. Thus,
$$
p(x) = b(x^2 - 2x).
$$

Boris Johnson says motorists free to encroach on Barclays Cycle Superhighways
Mayor of London aparently confused over status of flagship lanes in Sky News interview - some are mandatory, some aren't...
Mon, Jul 23, 2012 13:35
Mayor of London Boris Johnson has given the misleading impression that the city's Barclays Cycle Superhighways are "for indicative purposes," suggesting that motorists are free to use them without breaking the law. Mr Johnson made his comments yesterday in an interview with Dermot Murnaghan of Sky News.
Quizzing the mayor about London's readiness to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games and forecast traffic chaos, Murnaghan, a committed cyclist who rode from Land's End to John O'Groats last year, said: "I came in to work today… and there is an Olympic lane there which I know isn't operational yet, there is an Olympic lane, one of your blue bike lanes and nowhere discernibly for cars to go. Are you really saying to people, just don't drive in London?"
"Well the Olympic lanes, as you just rightly said Dermot, are not yet operational and as for my blue bike lanes, they are perfectly … there is no ban on allowing your wheels to stray into them, they are there purely, as you know they are there for indicative purposes.
"What we are saying to people is yes, come the middle of next week we do expect quite a lot of pressure on the road network and yes, from now on in my strong advice to people is if you can plan your journey differently, get on the web, get on to GetAheadOfTheGames.com and think about using public transport and yes, probably don't drive through central London in Games time is my advice," he added.
In fact, Mr Johnson was incorrect in stating that the blue-painted lanes, which were criticised by many cyclists when they were first introduced and particularly since the death of Brian Dorling at Bow last October, are indicative; some sections of them are, but others, marked with a solid, unbroken white line separating them from the main carriageway aren't.
Mr Johnson has in fact addressed the topic of motorists infringing on cycle lanes on more than one occasion in the past.
In a written answer to Labour Assembly Member John Biggs in November 2011, he revealed that "Over the most recent 12 month period 112 motorists were penalised for the specific contravention of encroaching in a mandatory cycle lane."
In reply to a separate question asked by Mr Biggs, Mr Johnson confirmed that during the same period, 8,027 cyclists in the capital had been penalised for "cycling on the footway."
He also specifically addressed the distinction between mandatory and advisory cycle lanes in a letter sent to Labour Assembly Member Val Shawcross in March last year.
Ms Shawcross had sent the mayor a copy of a report published by the Transport Committee of the London Assembly, which she chaired at the time, the previous November called Pedal power: the cycle hire scheme and cycle superhighways.
A survey commissioned for that report found that of 700 respondents who had used the Barclays Cycle Superhighways at that point, 60 per cent said they did not feel safer using them and two thirds agreed that they felt that other road users did not respect them.
The report put forward a number of recommendations, including one that "all the blue cycle lanes will be 2 metres wide and mandatory."
In response to that, Mr Johnson wrote: 'Where lanes of any type are introduced, they are at least 1.5m wide. This is an accepted minimum standard within TfL's design guidance documents, which have also been shared and promoted to Boroughs. Wherever there is enough space to introduce 2m mandatory lanes without a significant detrimental impact on other road users, TfL is doing so. In some cases, capacity is being reallocated from general traffic to provide good cycling facilities, as can be seen on the Barclays Cycle Superhighway (BCS) route 7 and the future route BCS8."
In his letter, Mr Johnson also acknowledged concerns expressed in the report about the presence of vehicles in the lanes.
"I know the Committee was concerned about parking within the Barclays Cycling Superhighway routes, or that vehicles might encroach on these," he wrote, going on to explain about how much of the parking and unloading on the routes took place outside peak cycling traffic times.
He did not specifically address the issue of vehicles encroaching on the lanes as part of a journey that did not necessitate actually stopping on them, however.
Currently, TfL is reviewing the safety of cyclists at junctions on existing and planned Barclays Cycle Superhighways after being asked to do so by Mr Johnson himself following pressure brought to bear on him by cycle campaigners and opposition politicians after the death of Mr Dorling and other cyclists last autumn.
The Barclays Cycle Superhighways FAQ on the TfL website, in response to the question, "Can motor vehicles enter Barclays Cycle Superhighways?" states:
"On-road Barclays Cycle Superhighways comprise a mixture of mandatory cycle lanes, advisory cycle lanes, blue surfacing in bus lanes, and blue surfacing in general traffic lanes.
"Mandatory cycle lanes must not be entered by motor vehicles (including motorcycles). They are shown by a solid white line separating the lane from the general carriageway and by roadside signs, which also display the operating times of the lanes.
"Advisory cycle lanes are not designed to be used by motor vehicles, as stated in the Highway Code. However, motorists can enter the lanes if necessary. Advisory lanes are usually provided where there is not enough space for a sufficiently wide mandatory lane, and are designed to highlight to other road users that there will be high number of cyclists along the route, and to show where on the road to expect them.
"Blue surfacing in bus lanes is designed to remind users that the lane is shared by buses and cyclists (and also in some cases by motorcyclists and taxis). It reminds drivers that they are likely to encounter cyclists and provides cyclists with route continuity.
"Blue surfacing in general traffic lanes is designed to remind motorists that they are likely to encounter cyclists and to provide cyclists with route continuity."
In all cases, the blue surfacing is designed to guide cyclists, and they are not obliged to ride on it."

Insect Spray as Contaminant in Food: Incidence and Legal Assessment
Report from a day in the lab
Ellen Scherbaum, Hanna Marks
Everyone knows that uncomfortable feeling you get when mosquitoes are swirling around you. Many people resort to using insect repellents when they spend time in nature; ultimately, mosquitoes can transmit illnesses. This also applies to people who gather wild fruits or harvest cultivated foods.
Two of the most effective artificial ingredients in insect repellents have been the focus of investigations by the pesticide laboratory at CVUA Stuttgart for 10 years: diethyltoluamid (DEET) and icaridin (see report, in German, on our investigations into pesticide residues in mushrooms and their products in 2009, entitled "Rückstände von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in Pilzen und Pilzerzeugnissen im Untersuchungsjahr 2009"). It is hardly surprising that we mainly find residues in products that have been gathered or harvested by hand.
What have we analyzed?
Since 2015 we've analyzed about 10,000 samples of plant-based foods for the presence of DEET, 1.4 % of which tested positive, and about 8,000 samples for icaridin, just 0.2 % of which were positive.
Wild mushrooms, however, are especially affected; 50 % of the analyzed samples were detected with DEET, followed by 16 % of tea and tea-like products (see Table 1).
The mushrooms with higher levels of DEET were mostly chanterelles and porcini from Russia, Belarus, Poland and Bulgaria. Tea and tea-like products containing higher levels of DEET included moringa and euphorbia tea from Tanzania.

Minimum (mg/kg)

TOTAL Tea and tea-like products
Icaridin was detected in significantly fewer samples, mostly in only trace amounts. The findings affected mainly berries and leafy vegetables from Germany. Only two samples of strawberries from Germany and Spain contained quantities greater than 0.01 mg/kg.
Biocides are substances and preparations that are not only effective against insects and mice, but also against algae, mushrooms and bacteria. In addition to their use in agriculture, biocides are also used in domestic and commercial areas.
Biocide substances are approved throughout the EU, and are recorded in a positive list. Authorization for biocide preparations occurs in the individual member states as well as EU-wide. Depending on the area of application, biocides are divided into different groups. There are currently about 25,000 biocide products on the market in Germany [1,2].
"Dual-Use" Substances
Plant protection substances used in agriculture are also approved EU-wide and are recorded in a positive list [3]. Substances that are categorized both as a pesticide and a biocide are termed "Dual-Use" substances. In accordance with plant protection law, the legally established maximum residue levels for foods also apply to these substances, regardless of how they end up in food [4].
The term "repellent" comes from the Latin word "repellere", meaning to repel. Repellents are usually recognized by their smells, and drive away mosquitoes and gnats as well as ticks. There are also repellents that are effective against mammals such as dogs and cats, game and mice.
Preparations against mosquitoes and ticks made from the essential oils of different plants often work for only a short time. Synthetic compounds such as DEET or icaridin, however, can act as a deterrent for several hours [5].
How are the substances and findings toxicologically assessed?
The amount of biocide contained in repellents is between 20% and 50%. These are usually applied directly onto the skin. DEET absorbs well into the skin, whereas Icaridin has a lower absorption rate and is generally better tolerated by the skin. The substances and preparations have been checked in terms of their adherance to biocide regulation [2] and have been approved for use. There are indications, however, that DEET's mechanism of action not only rests on odor deterrence; as with some insecticides, it also inhibits the enzyme cholinesterase, which can increase the effectiveness of insecticides [6].
More recent investigations into Icaridin have shown that even small amounts that end up on surface waters can damage amphibiens [7]. Whether these newer observations will be confirmed or other findings be made is yet to be seen.
Trace amounts detected in food that are too low for calculating meaningful percentages are not toxicologically relevant. In 2009 the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) published an opinion on DEET contamination of chanterelles from Eastern Europe, stating that an amount of 1 mg/kg did not present any health risk. Animal tests show this amount to be far from a level that would cause any detrimental effect [8].
DEET(Diethyltoluamid)
Patended by the U.S. army in the 1940s
Effective against mosquitoes, mites, fleas, bedbugs, blackflies and ticks
Recommended by WHO for protection from illnesses transmitted by insects (e.g. malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever)
Can damage synthetic materials (e.g. eyeglass earpieces, arm bands, synthetic fiber textiles) [9]
Icaridin (also Picaridin)
Comparable effectiveness to DEET, but few studies have been conducted due to its relatively recent arrival on the market
Lower absorption rate than DEET
Better tolerance by the skin than DEET
Not damaging to synthetic materials [10]
How are the findings to be legally assessed?
As biocides, these substances do not fall within the area of EU law for pesticides; they are not "dual-use" substances (see Info Box). However, according to national law, substances used to combat bugs which are not related to plant protection are nevertheless subject to a default maximum level of 0.01 mg/kg [11].
According to § 68 LFGB (German Food and Feed Code), every commercial enterprise can apply for an exception for a specific substance from the German Office of Federal Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL). Such an exception is only valid for individual cases and specific products, as specified by the applicant. Exceptions are investigated by the BVL and authorized only when there is no health risk to be expected [12]. In the case of DEET several different companies have received exceptions for e.g., chanterelle mushrooms, blueberries, chili peppers and pine nuts. The authorized exception is given for a specific business and product, and also specifies the level of residues with which the product can be marketed – the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg is not valid for products given exceptional authorization.
Table 2 depicts the samples containing quantities of DEET and Icaridin greater than the valid maximum amount of 0.01 mg/kg. Samples with possible authorized exceptions are not included.

It is especially noteworthy that in 2019 two samples of berries from Germany were detected with higher amounts: raspberries with 0.39 mg/kg DEET and strawberries with 0.14 mg/kg Icaridin. The defective spray-helicopters and resulting "mosquitoe plague" in Rheinauen may play a role here [13]; the two samples were taken from Baden in June 2019, at the time of this occurrence.
What changes to the legal requirements are planned?
The national maximum amounts based on the RHmV (the German regulation for maximum residue levels) are currently under discussion and are on the verge of change. There are no general maxiumum levels provided for biocides in EU law. Maximum levels are only issued out of absolute necessity when, for example, consumer health is at stake. From our point of view this is a deterioration of protection, not only for local consumers, but also for the local food industry and food monitoring program; the limit values provide a measure of necessary legal protection!
In the future so-called reference values should be valid for domestic trade within Europe, although they are not legally binding. There is an agreement that goods containing amounts under the agreed-upon reference values can be marketed within the EU without limitation. If the concentration of residues exceeds the reference values, however, the responsible authorities must decide on possible follow-up measures [14].

Even if foreign substances are categorized as toxicologically safe, they are unwanted in our food and should be avoided or reduced as much as possible (ALARA principle: as low as reasonably achievable - see Info Box). But what is possible?
Contaminants are unwanted substances that unintentionally end up in food as a result of environmental pollution or as residues from production methods such as manufacturing, processing, preparation, and treatment. Many substances used in industry such as PCBs and heavy metals as well as unintentional by-products such as dioxins are in the environment and, depending on their characteristics, can end up in or on food or even become enriched. Other unwanted substances occur when food is not properly manufactured or treated (e.g. PAKs, nitrosamines) or the growth and/or harvest conditions are not appropriate (e.g. PAKs, nitrosamines, fungal and bacterial toxins).
In general, a minimization imperative is valid for contaminants, as stipulated in Regulation (ECG) No. 315/93. The level of contaminants in food shall be kept as low as can reasonably be achieved (ALARA-Principle). Food containing contaminants in an amount that is unacceptable from a public health viewpoint may not be marketed. Maximum levels stipulated in both Reguation (EC) No. 1881/2006 and in the national contaminant ordinance from 19 March 2010, among others, are intended for contaminants that could present a risk to consumers, based on current knowledge.
A laboratory experiment: which contaminants can be expected?
In a small laboratory experiment we wanted to find out whether and how much an insect repellent containing the substance DEET would be passed from hands onto a food sample, depending on the proper or improper use of the repellent.
We divided a sample of blueberries into six parts (500 gr. each) and applied the repellent as follows:
No applicatiom
The forearm and back of the hands were sprayed without being rubbed in
The forearm and back of the hands were sprayed without being rubbed in, with 30 min reaction time
The forearm and back of the hands were sprayed without being rubbed in; the sample was in direct proximity
The forearm and back of the hands were sprayed and rubbed in with the hands
The forearm and back of the hands were sprayed and rubbed in with the hands; the hands were then washed
The spraying of the forearm and back of the hands was performed with a biocide spray used for mosquitoes and ticks (30 % DEET) following the instruction of 2 pump sprays for a hand-sized surface. The sample without any application was immediately frozen; each of the remaining blueberry samples were touched by the hands and then frozen and analyzed. The results of the experiment are presented in Table 4.
Table 4: Contamination of blueberries with DEET, from a laboratory experiment at CVUA Stuttgart 2019; different applications of biocide preparations with 30 % DEET
1. no application of biocide
2. spraying* without rubbing in
3. spraying* without rubbing in, with 30 min reaction time
4. spraying* without rubbing in; sample in direct proximity
5 spraying* and rubbing in
6. spraying*, rubbing in and washing hands
*the forearm and back of the hand were given 2 pumps of the spray each over a surface area the width of a hand; each blueberry was touched after the spraying
Even though this was just a model test which could have yielded different quantities when exposed to other conditions such as wind, there was nevertheless a significant trend to be seen. When the biocide was sprayed on the forearm and then rubbed in with the hands, 27.8 mg DEET/kg of blueberries was detected; this was the highest amount by far. When the hands were washed after having rubbed in the biocide, the amount detected on the blueberries was much lower, at 0.15 mg/kg. A lapse in time between spraying and touching the blueberries also resulted in a small amount (compare #s 2 and 3 in Table 4). When the sample was in direct proximity to the spraying, a high amount of biocide (7.3 mg/kg) also ended up on the food. With a concentration of 30% DEET, this is not surprising. Depending on distance and wind direction, the amount of DEET getting into food could therefore be either lower or higher.
Illustration 1: Contamination of blueberries with DEET, in a lab experiment at CVUA Stuttgart 2019; different applications of a biocide preparation with 30% DEET
The experiment shows that spraying oneself with a repellent and then touching food can certainly result in amounts comparable to those measured in our lab (refer to Table 2). Spraying close to food and rubbing the biocide into the skin both lead to significantly higher amounts of biocide getting onto food.
Residues of DEET or Icaridin are found again and again on foods that were picked or gathered by hand. The residual contamination is usually the result of contact with the hands of the picker who had sprayed himself with a repellent. DEET and Icaridin are biocidal substances that are effective against mosquitoes and ticks; they are recommended in areas where insect-borne illnesses such as malaria or dengue fever are possible.
Now, at the beginning of autumn, some advice for all mushroom and blueberry gatherers:
when using repellents, please follow the instructions carefully. In addition to repellents containing synthetic substances, there are also insect sprays based on essential oils. The duration of these products' effectiveness is much shorter, however. Wearing loose, light-colored clothing that covers the body can also help protect against insect bites. Our lab experiment shows that, especially when coming into contact with food after using an insect repellent, one should take the following precautions in order to minimize contaminating the food: wash your hands after applying a biocide product, wait awhile after spraying before before touching food, and make sure there is no food nearby when spraying.

Urgent: We are using Facebook login to transfer a player's Playfab account from an old version of our app to a new version. (This is the only way the app stores would let us switch publisher and continue to sign the apps in the store).
It was working well enough until today. The apps are live and a feature is claimed imminent so we are desperate.
1 we try to link the facebook token to this new record and get back that the facebook token is already in use.
2 we ask for the playfab account associated with that facebook token.
As of today, with the game live in production, Playfab fails on step 3. the token is in use but we get back "null" for the account and cannot migrate the player!
*if it fails, we ask the facebook graph api for ALL ids related to this business!
It seems there are (now) more than one facebook id coming back between the two apps in the same facebook business.
Thanks to @Andy for figuring this out in slack.
The issue here was that the two different editions of the game appear to be getting two different ids on their Facebook tokens. This is expected and we have code in the LoginWithFacebook and LinkFacebookAccount APIs to deal with that scenario, so long as the two apps are in the same "business".
When we see a Facebook id we don't recognize on a Login or Link call, the first thing we do is call Facebook to see if that id is associated with another id in the same business. If it is, we store that relationship so we don't have to look it up again. GetPlayFabIdsFromFacebookIds is only aware of Facebook ids that have actually been passed in as part of a Link or Login call. This is what the core problem in this thread was; we had never seen the second id before.
In the scenario where one is attempting to migrate data from one title to another, the preferred method is to LoginWithFacebook. This will, assuming both titles are in the same business, log the player into their account on either title. IN the new title, if that's not what they wanted, you could then log them in using an anonymous method instead.
What title ids are you migrating from and to? I haven't been able to reproduce any problems with Getting PlayFab Ids from Facebook ids on my test titles.
Our playfab title id is 656B (withcy). We do not migrate across the title id. We have two iOS bundle ids however (and two android package ids). The idea is to get the user's playfab account from the old iOS (or Android) to the new iOS (or Android) by using the Facebook link (auth token).
Have you verified that you're getting back the same Facebook Id in both the old and new apps?
If they aren't the same, it's a lot more complicated and might explain why you're not getting back valid PlayFabIds in some cases..
A little more detail on our method.
Whenever the player logs in with Facebook, we immediately attempt to link it to the playfab account via LinkFacebookAccount.
If this succeeds then we have the player's account (playfab player data) tagged.
So in the case the facebook token is already linked, we ask for the "old" player progress account from Playfab. This has always worked. Now it doesn't. It returned null.
I sent you a DM on slack. I want to dig into this a little bit more.

Q: Remove item after successful JQuery Sortable action I am trying to create a toolbar for my Java EE application. This toolbar contains icon, which can be dragged to a JQuery Sortable list (DIV columns on a JSP page). My ultimate goal is to show a JSP form after releasing the mouse button.
In the current situation my columns with graphs will contain an icon after a successful drag action, something I do not want.
My question: How can I remove an item, immediately after releasing the mouse button, or to prevent the drop in the first place?
The reason I am using a draggable or sortable action, is that I want to know where the user wants to place the new widget (and save this position).
Hopefully someone can help me/show an example

A: Well I dont know why you want to remove the item, but reading the jQuery API Documentation would answer your Question. Have you tried something?
Draggable
$("yourSelector").draggable({
     drop : function() {
            $(this).remove();
            // Removes this item from the DOM after a succesful drop
      }
});

Documentation: http://api.jqueryui.com/draggable/
Sortable
$("yourSelector").sortable({
     change : function() {
            $(this).remove();
            // Removes this item from the DOM after a change in the sort order
      }
});

Documentation: http://api.jqueryui.com/sortable/

A: I managed to come with a solution, based on the answer you gave
$(".sortableList").droppable({
  drop: function(event, ui) {
       if (!ui.draggable.hasClass("widget")) {
           ui.draggable.remove();
       }
 }
});

Maybe not the nicest solution, but it works. Thank you for your help:)

A:
l$("yourSelector").sortable({
    change : function() {
           $(this).remove();
           // Removes this item from the DOM after a change in the sort order
     }
});

@godesign , this does not work for several reasons.

*

*the change event is fired during sorting, every time the placeholder changes place. The event you search is stop, beforeStop or Update (same as stop, but only when place changed in comparison to original)

*$(this) will not give the sorted item but some unusable jqueryui stuff. You need to get ui from parameters and change the function heading to function(event, ui){.

*haven't figured out this part, but altough ui.item is the item you are looking for to delete, ui.item.remove() does not remove this item. EDIT: i found that if you do ui.remove() in the deactivate event that everything gets deleted fine

the solutions for 1 and 2 are given, the solution for 3 i have not found myself yet.

[C]urrent federal law recognizes that all infants born at any stage of development, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the birth, are "persons." But this recognition alone is insufficient to provide protections for infants born alive following an attempted abortion. The federal Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would augment current law to require that proper medical care be given to an infant born alive following an abortion procedure and impose criminal consequences on health care providers who violate the law.
Knights of Columbus, "Americans' Opinions on Abortion," January 2019, http://www.kofc.org/un/en/resources/communications/american-attitudes-abortion-knights-of-columbus-marist-poll-slides.pdf (accessed February 20, 2019).
While the bills in various states differ based on current state law, they have generally sought to allow for elective abortion up to birth, reduce or eliminate health and safety standards for clinics and practitioners, and end requirements to provide medical care to babies born alive following an abortion procedure.
In response to these radical proposals, Members of the United States Congress are working to advance pro-life policies, including the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, to protect women and their babies—born and unborn.
Which was introduced by my Senator, Ben Sasse. As most of you know, I have my problems with Sen Sasse, based mostly on his inability to see why we elected Donald Trump, but here there is no daylight between us at all. It's something that it is repulsive that we need, but need it we do. As some states introduce bills that allow abortion (infanticide, really) during labor, and some claim proudly, even after birth.
Senate Democrats unsurprisingly struggled to find an effective way to lie about opposing a bill that prohibits abortion in the fourth trimester. Some of them maintained that Sasse's bill was superfluous because all the things in it were already illegal. Others claimed the bill would "restrict doctors from making case-by-case decisions about what is best for infants and mothers." Still others claimed the practice never ever happens. Other Democrats, who support government intervention in every nook and cranny of human existence, argued that tough choices should only be the domain of women and their doctors, not the state. Many of them saw no conflict between these ideas and argued all these things at the very same time.
Sen. Patty Murray claimed the bill was "clearly anti-doctor, anti-woman and anti-family" and that "proponents claim it would make something illegal that is already illegal." This is untrue, regardless of a full-court press from Democrats and the media. As bills in both Virginia and New York clearly illustrate, the practice isn't illegal. Both bills specifically provide legal protections for doctors who terminate babies who survive abortion attempts.
This was the practice Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia hamfistedly explained to us on video, forgetting to use the standard euphemisms typically used to conceal the horrific specifics of the procedure. In New York, abortion—and post-birth termination—of a viable, once-healthy infant is legal through the entire pregnancy, and after, for virtually any reason. The rite of abortion is so intrinsic to progressive ideology (and coffers) that not one major player on the left had the moral spine to condemn either.
And so the Democrats continue to be the party that wants to protect the guilty, such as MS-13, while killing the completely innocent, like newborn babies. [Break time so you can go throw up, like I want to] What a craven lot they are.
But the American people are onto them. CNS tells us that in the last month, polling has detected a seismic shift in views of abortion.
A new, national survey on the heels of legislation in New York and Virginia to allow abortion up to the moment of birth shows a major shift to the pro-life side among Democrats and young people, according to the Marist College for Public Opinion and the Knights of Columbus.
The Feb. 12-17 survey revealed that in just one month, the number of Democrats who identified as pro-life shifted from 20% to 34%. Also, the number of Democrats identifying as "pro-choice" fell from 75% to 61%. That's a 14-percentage point swing in only four weeks.
For Americans age 45 and younger, the shift was from 28% identifying as pro-life four weeks ago to 47% today; the percentage of young people who said they were "pro-choice" fell from 65% to 48%.
Well, that is good news, but until it seeps into every American politician's thick head that it is wrong to murder babies, there is more to do. So, let's get to doing.
As you all know, I couldn't agree more with it, and I will consider it a travesty if they repeal such a common sense provision. But they might, hedonism runs strong, these days. Something Timothy M. Jackson wrote in The Federalist yesterday resonates strongly with me.
Start with any blatantly obvious premise that is grounded in a basic moral principle for producing a good and just society, and you will find that, according to the pro-choice proponent, abortion is the sole exception to all those standards. They would agree that all innocent human beings should be afforded protections under the law, except for the unborn.
They would concede that we have a responsibility to make sure all children are cared for, except for the unborn. They would argue that children with more needs and more dependence for survival should garner more compassion and heighten our responsibility to care for them rather than diminish it, except for the unborn.
They would argue that intentionally killing an innocent human being is always unjust, except for, well you get the idea. Ireland has recognized that this one exception has not been in line with reason. It is ad hoc. In other words, this one exception as has been concocted to defend the turf of abortion only.
Well, they are not exceptions, we all began as the unborn. Abortion is the ultimate selfishness, killing the weakest amongst us because one can't be bothered to take care of the helpless.
The first duty of the strong is to protect the weak.
Who amongst us could possibly be weaker than those who haven't been born? And who could be more evil than those who would kill them?
I hope the Irish do the right thing.

Quiet Fire was an obscure group from San Diego. The lead singer of the group was Willie Steel. Another member of the group was Bobby Turner.
The group released two singles. The first single entitled "Lost (without your love) / Your kind of love" in 1977. It was released on The Hit Machine Records from San Diego.
"Lost (without your love)" was written by Willie Steel. It was produced by Willie Steel and Marty Kuritz. Enjoy this rarity.
The second single entitled "It's a holiday / I've got everything I need" was released on RCA Records in 1979 as a 12 incher. I bought this record for the fantastic song "I've got everything I need". This song was written by David Sanchez and Marty Kuritz. Marty Kuritz was also co-writer on "Lost (without your love)". Produced and arranged by Clarence K. McDonald.
The group collaborated with the songwriters Marty Kuritz and the late David Sanchez for many years. I had the pleasure to speak with Marty Kuritz. Kuritz and Sanchez have written several songs for Quiet Fire. However some songs were recorded under the direction of Clarence McDonald.
I want to thank the great, producer, songwriter, arranger and pianist Clarence McDonald who helped me to find Willie Steel lead singer of the Quiet Fire.
Finally, when I was looking for info about the group Quiet Fire, I found some groups with the same name from mid 70s to 90s.

VIDEO: Romeo Miller Suggests DeMar DeRozan Will Sign With Lakers
Kobe Bryant To Be Named 'Athlete Of The Decade' At Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards
Nathaniel Lastrapes
The season ended in April for the Los Angeles Lakers for the third consecutive season, thus giving the front office a head start on their offseason priorities. The Lakers have around $60 million to offer free agents this summer, making Los Angeles a prime landing spot for potential superstars.
Among the top-tier players who are set to become free agents is DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors, who has been rumored to have interest in joining the Lakers this summer.
Rumors about free agency will be coming from everywhere all summer, with each source claiming they know where the stars are going to land. Romeo Miller, who is more popularly known as Lil' Romeo, played college ball with DeRozan at the University of Southern California and is known to be a good friend of his. The former rapper suggests that his former teammate will don the purple and gold next season via TMZ Sports
Romeo speaks in an encrypted manner as he claims he knows where Derozan will land this summer, but he does not explicitly say that he will be a Laker. In the video, Romeo says he knows where DeRozan is going, but he is still a Raptor right now.
The Raptors are currently in a tight series with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, so free agency is the furthest thing on DeRozan's mind. DeRozan will not likely shift his focus to free agency until after the Raptors' playoff run comes to an end.
