I'm on a relatively recent cocktail of meds now and overall they're doing their job. The side effects are substantial, significant. I continue to pile on the weight (quetiapine). I ache literally in every cell of my body, constantly. I'm sedated much if not all of the time. I still don't sleep through the night.
20mg of fluoxetine caps the low moods. 600mg of quetiapine stops the psychosis and the high / mixed moods pretty successfully. (Though see my other post of today.) And the latest, 500mg of valproate stabilises my mood. These three meds seem to have made friends though they gang up to bully me now and then. They know I need them.
I still have 'extremely intrusive suicidal ideation'. I still have 'rapid and uncontrolable mood fluctuation'. But regarding the former, I can control it more (hopefully – time will tell). And the latter, the valproate seems to have gone in with fists flying there.
It's taken months to get the GP surgery and local pharmacy to get my (psychiatrists') prescription right. This has caused me a lot of stress and worry. It's isn't rocket science; it's a straightforward repeat prescription that should take moments to set up. So far it's been 3 or 4 months of getting it wrong. Three or four months of stress. I wrote my GP surgery a begging letter recently, imploring him/her to get the 'script' sorted. I can do without the hassle basically.
I speak to no-one about my illness. No professional has come forward to offer me counselling or has even offered an ear. It's all bottled up, and I hold down a stressful job because I hate the thought of being defeated by the evil bipolar monster. I've spent the day shaking and confused (again, see my other post of today). Got home, had a couple of glasses of wine, took my meds. Is it bedtime yet?
I am fastidious about my pre-bedtime routine. This is dictated by my (bipolar) anxiety and OCD. In the living room, I make sure the TV is off, the lights are off and the door is shut. This is how it always is, how it always has been.
This morning I came downstairs and stopped when I saw the door open and lights on. My first thought was that I'd been burgled (unlikely as the house is as tight as a drum). But no, the lamp I always use was on and another lamp I seldom use was also on. The TV had switched itself off on the power-saving mode.
There was no sign of a break-in; windows were intact as were front and back doors.
Memory lapse (wouldn't be the first) probably linked to the dissociation I have with my bipolar. Brief psychotic episode (again, wouldn't be the first). Had I come downstairs in the night and watched TV or done something else? I have no history of sleep-walking.
It's all very strange. Spooky action indeed.

Elko men sentenced for petroglyph vandalism
The U.S. Attorney's Office provided this image of graffiti put over petroglyphs in the White River Narrows in northern Lincoln County.(U.S. Attorney's Office)

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KOLO) -Two Elko men were sentenced Friday for their part in putting graffiti over petroglyphs in northern Lincoln County.
Jonathan "Cluer" Pavon, 28, was sentenced to a year in prison after pleading guilty to an Archeological Resources Protection Act violation and was also sentenced to six months concurrently for a misdemeanor violation.
Daniel "Velor" Plata, 28, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of damaging archaeological resources and will serve four months in jail and eight months of home confinement.
They painted Cluer and Velor at several locations in the White River Narrows between Sept. 14, 2019, and Oct. 8, 2019, the U.S. Attorney's Office said The petroglyphs there are considered sacred by the Paiute and Shoshone. The vandalism included 20-foot-long graffiti on petroglyphs.
"No restitution or repair can undo the damage done by those who would vandalize such a sacred and historical site as White River Narrows, but this ruling demonstrates that such crimes will not be met with a slap on the wrist," Nevada U.S. Attorney Jason M. Frierson said in a statement. "Our Office will continue to work to ensure that anyone who desecrates sacred tribal lands and artifacts are held accountable."

Lúcio Sêxtio Laterano () foi um político da gente Sêxtia da República Romana, eleito cônsul em 366 a.C.. Foi o primeiro cônsul plebeu da história romana e o primeiro de sua gente a chegar ao consulado. Antes disto, foi tribuno da plebe de 376 até 367 a.C. e, juntamente com Caio Licínio Calvo Estolão, um dos principais responsáveis pela aprovação das Leges Liciniae Sextiae, as leis que permitiram à plebe o acesso ao cargo de cônsul e criaram a magistratura do pretorado.

Tribuno da plebe (376 a 367 a.C.)
Lúcio Sêxtio e Caio Licínio vetaram por cinco anos consecutivos as eleições de novos tribunos consulares (entre 375 e 371 a.C.) como retaliação pelo veto posto pelos demais tribunos da plebe, aliados dos patrícios, às suas propostas que visavam melhorar a situação social e política da plebe.

Os anais indicam que Lúcio Sêxtio foi tribuno da plebe entre 376 e 367 a.C., um período no qual foram aprovadas as chamadas Leges Liciniae Sextiae, que reformaram a magistratura consular, reservando à plebe um dos dois postos, limitou o tamanho das propriedades rurais e regulamentou favoravelmente aos mais pobres a questão do débito.

Primeiro consulado (366 a.C.)
Em 366 a.C., o primeiro ano depois do fim dos tribunatos consulares e o retorno do consulado, foi eleito cônsul com  Lúcio Emílio Mamercino.

Seu mandato, tranquilo do ponto de vista militar, mesmo com o temor pelo retorno dos gauleses derrotados no ano anterior, foi contrabalançado pelo luta política entre plebeus e patrícios pela eleição dos pretores, uma magistratura nova criada também no ano anterior, e dos edis.

Crítica histórica
Esta primazia de Lúcio Sêxtio vem sendo negada por alguns historiadores que alegam que pelo menos um terço dos cônsules anteriores teriam origens plebeias. Fosse qual fosse a real composição do consulado, as nos leis estabeleceram que pelo menos um dos cônsules "poderia" ser eleito entre os plebeus. Mas foi somente a Lex Genucia (342 a.C.) que estabeleceu que um dos dois "deveria" ser plebeu.

Se pudermos confiar nos historiadores do período, é possível notar que, mas que a lei em si, Lúcio Sêxtio e Caio Licínio demonstraram uma excepcional habilidade para romper as tradições eleitorais vigentes para as principais magistraturas. Eles vetaram as eleições entre 375 e 371 a.C., e só cederam quando os problemas internos e externos da cidade permitiram a realização de eleições nas quais os tribunos consulares eleitos levariam, ao final, à aprovação, em 367 a.C., das novas leis que permitiam o acesso da plebe ao consulado.

Garden Pond Care In Cold Weather – When it comes to your garden pond you don't want to turn your beautiful Koi or Goldfish into icicles during cold weather. In order to keep your fish alive during chilly months, proper pond care is essential. This means everything from feeding to installing the right water garden pond liners. A very important part of garden pond care when the weather gets cold is changing the type of fish food that you give to your underwater pets.

Q: Encryption Routine to encrypt an 8-digit field into 16 (or more) characters I have an 8 digit field that I would like to encrypt (I am not worried about decrypting it) into a 16 character (or more) field.  I need this so I can use the encrypted field to send to a reporting agency.

A: Since you don't need decryption you could hash it (irreversibly) instead of using encryption. In PHP you could do this with hash and the fnv164 hash algorithm, which returns a 16 character hash.
Also, there are several other hash algorithms that will produce greater than 16 characters. You can use hash_algos to see what's available on your system. Here's a script to do that.

A: Without knowing too much about the purpose behind this "encryption" here's what I'd suggest (based on some conservative and security-preserving assumptions about what your goals are):

*

*Pick a random number. Call it R. The number should preferably be at least 32 bits long.

*For every 8-digit identifier you have, form the string "<digits of R><8 digit identifier>".

*Use some cryptographically secure hash algorithm to get the hash of the string formed in step 2.

*Format the hash from step 3 as a string of hex characters.

*Use the hex character string from step 4 as the identifier that gets reported to the "reporting agency".

The benefit of this scheme is that as long as you remember the value R you can always map every 8-digit identifier to the same hex character identifier. This may or may not be important in your application.
Of course, this scheme assumes that you never need to perform a revese mapping, and the agency doesn't want to decrypt the identifiers. In other words, it assumes your goal is simply to not give the agency the identifier I but an equivalent identifier I'.

Today on The Critical Hour, Dr. Leon dissects immigration laws and the justification for separating children from families, which Sanders claims is biblically correct to enforce; a policy that can be reversed by the president simply calling Homeland Security and saying: Stop.
Greg Palast — author of several New York Times bestsellers including The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and Armed Madhouse. You know him through his investigative reports for BBC Television, The Guardian, Democracy Now! and Rolling Stone.
They discuss why the Supreme Court left unsettled the issue of politically motivated redistricting on Monday, rejecting two appeals from Republicans and Democrats but failing to rule on the merits of their claims.
On Monday, the renowned law firm of Mirer Mazzocchi Julien of New York will serve a 90-day notice on Jon Husted, the Secretary of State of Ohio, of our intent to file suit in federal court unless we receive complete information on each of the hundreds of thousands of voters removed from the voter rolls. Monday's Supreme Court decision blessing Ohio's removal of half a million voters was ultimately decided on the issue of a postcard.
Anonymous — Member of the White House Press Corps, media analyst.
Wilmer hears a first hand account for the press pool in what happened when Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the president refused to make any changes on the separation of immigration children from their families. They discuss former First Lady Laura Bush's statements "I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart," she continued, "Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso. These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in US history,"

Q: BBEdit GREP Find Replace I'm working with a tab-delimited file in BBEdit. The file looks like this:
00:15:50;11     text1     text2
00:35:17;03     text4     text5
00:35:20;03     text6
00:35:20;22     text7

Basically, it has:
Timecode  Tab  Text  Tab  Text  Etc
I want to take the second line of timecode and add it after the first line. I want it to look like this:
00:15:50;11     00:35:17;03     text1     text2
00:35:17;03     00:35:20;03     text4     text5
00:35:20;03     00:35:20;22     text6
00:35:20;22     text7

I've tried using this piece of GREP code:
FIND:
`(?-m)([0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9])(.*)\r([0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9])`

REPLACE:
'\1\t\3\2\r\3'

My problem is that it only searches and replaces every other line. If I do a find/replace all, it looks like this:
00:15:50;11     00:35:17;03     text1     text2
00:35:17;03     text4     text5
00:35:20;03     00:35:20;22     text6
00:35:20;22     text7

It's skipping every other line. I want to do a search/replace all in several hundred files. I'm wondering if there's something that I can change to make sure it gets every single line.
Thank you.

A: I took your regex and modified it slightly.
The trick is to not match the Timecode at the beginning of the line. So, use Positive Lookbehind.
(?<=([0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9]))  /*lookbehind to see if timecode exists, but dont match.
                                                                But, the use of parenthesis makes it the first capture group.*/
(.*)
\r
([0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9][; :][0-9][0-9])

Horror Movie Reviews, News & More... Warning: May Contain Spoilers!
Leicester Horror Con 2019
Hello one and all! It's been a while since my last post, I know I know. Me and the Mrs haven't even done a YouTube video this year! Life seems to get in the way of our hobbies. But this post is somewhat personal to me as Leicester Horror Con is a local event and we always try to support them. Our tickets are bought. We're taking our boys. We're looking forward to it!
With just over two weeks to go to the convention, I got the change to ask organiser Nathan Leverton a few questions...
What's your background with the horror genre?
As a kid who grew up in the 80s I'd love to say I was a fan then, but to be honest I was deathly afraid of horror films when I was young. It wasn't until I was approaching my teens that I got in to horror and cult cinema. A friend and I used to hit up all the local corner shops that rented videos trying to find "Video Nasties," mondo films or anything weird and wonderful as we were at that stage where you're trying to push boundaries and be shocked. The biggest influences on my tastes however were seeing The Curse of Frankenstein (1958) on TV and Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso (1957), which I borrowed on VHS from my brother. To this day gothic horror and Giallo are two of my favourite sub-genres.
What made you decide to put the event on?
I've always been a pop culture fan and as such been going to comic book and movie conventions for over 10 years. Wanting to do something along those lines myself I ran Leicester's first comic con in 2014 but didn't continue it as I was focused on my businesses and other projects. On a trip to LA I attended Son of Monsterpalooza convention and had a great time, seeing that event that made me want to do something in the horror genre and get back in to these types of shows, so I walked in to The Guildhall and booked it then started organising this show!
With the choice of Horror Cons we have here now, what separates Leicester Horror Con from the others?
The pop culture convention scene as a whole has changed dramatically. Many smaller shows with a lot of character have been squeezed out by the huge brands. And the arms race of trying to out do each other with bigger guests has led to cons becoming a numbers game funnelling in as many people as possible. What I always liked about the best events was the atmosphere, character of a con, meeting people into the same things, talking to traders and buying directly from the people who made the products. Some events have kept true to that even as they grew, like the comic con Thought Bubble, which is a brilliant event respected by creators and fans alike. I hope a smaller fan event like Leicester Horror Con can to some degree give that to people, a unique event with a friendly atmosphere. I've said I want this to be "a chance to meet people and celebrate the genre we love," which kinda sums it up.
Hopefully the con will be successful, I'm personally looking forward to it, being a "local." Will you make it an annual event?
I think it'll be a fun event, with mostly local people there, so I think you'll know a lot! Excited to bring something different to the city. If it's well supported there's a good chance I'll bring it back next year. There's been a huge amount of interest asking for stalls so I know the traders want it and we've been talking about the event with the assumption it'll return.
The price of the con is excellent. Especially considering there isn't a great deal to do at the other horror cons other than spend more money once you've paid for entry. The fans seem to enjoy meeting up with friends etc. Is this something you've taken into consideration when organising the event, maybe concentrating on something more for the fans than expensive guest?
There are a lot of reasons for the low price. Primarily we want the traders and guests to do well, so leaving money in the attendees pockets makes sense. But we also understand as a debut event people may take some convincing to try it out. Tickets are selling well and we aren't far off selling out so it must be working.
I would like to say thank you to Nathan for answering my questions and I look forward to meeting him, if he's not too busy!
Leicester Horror Con takes place Saturday June 22nd at Leicester's Guildhall, so not long now to get your tickets booked! For more info about the Con, guest line up, stalls and what's happening throughout the day, hit up Facebook or CLICK HERE. You can also order your tickets by CLICKING HERE.
So who's going? I already know a few friends that are. This is perfect event for my fellow horror fans to show there support by attending. I look forward to seeing you all there!

HTC and Verizon Brings You The Droid DNA
November 2012 | Angelina Montanez
As you know HTC and Verizon announced the Droid DNA and yes this phone is going up against the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note II, during the press conference they made it very clear that this phone will out do it's competition, and make note just beacuse the Droid DNA has a 5 inch screen it is in no way a phablet.
The Ultimate Smartphone
With technology rivaling the latest HD TV's, the DROID DNA by HTC is the first smartphone to feature a true 1080p HD super LCD 3 display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection. It boasts an extraordinary 440 pixels per inch (PPI) on a 5-inch screen for unprecedented in-hand HD experiences that delivers the maximum pixel clarity available on a smartphone.
Designed to accentuate the incredible display, the deep black, soft-touch back is understated, with the exception of a metallic red camera bezel, while the red microgrill pattern of the sidewalls hint at the phone's DROID heritage and the power inside. The beautifully crafted smartphone feels thinner than other devices of a similar size as the edges of the curved back taper to a mere 4mm for a comfortable feel in the hand or pocket.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, featuring a quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and high-performance GPU, paired with America's largest 4G LTE Verizon's network from Verizon Wireless and a full 2G of RAM enable the seamless use of multiple apps simultaneously. With HTC Sense 4+ and Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), you get great software experiences including Google Now. HTC Sense 4+ offers a wealth of easy-to-use and customizable features bringing highly sought after personalization to your phone and placing the most important content front and center. A series of intelligent features powered by HTC Sense 4+ also provides a number of improvements to the camera.
Amazing Camera
The DROID DNA by HTC has a world-class camera that delivers fast image capture, great images even in low-light and an easy interface to capture stills and video. With an 8-megapixel f/2.0 28mm wide-angle lens, 5-level automatic flash, backside illuminated sensor (BSI), and superfast autofocus, you'll capture amazing moments without the worry of missing a single one. Instead of choosing between photos and video, HTC VideoPic allows you to capture video and still images at the same time. And by simply holding the shutter button, Continuous Shooting takes multiple photos at up to four frames per second to catch all the action.
It also includes a new best-in-class 2.1-megapixel, f/2.0, 88-degree, ultra-wide angle, front-facing camera that allows more to be captured in self-portraits, and up to four people for group shots. Auto Portrait makes it easier to take photos of yourself and your friends with automatic face detection and a countdown timer so you can focus on your pose and not the shutter button. Capable of capturing 1080p HD video, the front-facing camera also provides a sharper picture during video chat.
Authentic Sound
The DROID DNA by HTC has a unique, 2.55-volt, built-in headset amplifier and dedicated amp for the external rear-speaker to help boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear sound with less distortion, even at maximum volume. The combination of amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats Audio allows music to be heard the way the artist intended, and enhances the sound quality while playing games or watching video.
The DROID DNA by HTC is equipped with a 2,020 mAh battery and power saving software that enables long-lasting endurance. In addition, the embedded wireless charging makes it easy and convenient to top off power throughout the day or fully charge overnight, simply by setting the phone down. Finally, with near field communication (NFC), you can use the DROID DNA by HTC to share music and videos, add someone to your social networks, or download apps by tapping other NFC-enabled devices.
The DROID DNA by HTC will be available exclusively from Verizon Wireless through a pre-order starting today at www.verizonwireless.com/droiddna, and in-stores nationwide beginning Wednesday, November 21st for $199.99 with a two-year customer agreement.

Does shedding happen to everyone?
Hello, just started using the HairMax and I have some questions.
Shedding hairs - Roots included?
When Treating Hair Loss, Shedding Of Hair Is Not The Same As "Losing Hair"
Can you still see the initial shedding if you shave your head with a razor?

St. Luke's College of Nursing or SLCN (formerly, St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing) is one of the educational units of Trinity University of Asia. It started operating under Trinity College of Quezon City in 1965 when its first class was admitted. The decision to establish the College of Nursing, however, was made as early as March 13, 1964 when at a meeting of the St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing Board of Trustees, it was decided that steps be taken by the school to become a collegiate program. By that time, the former Capitol City College has already been bought by the Bishop of the Philippines, Philippine Episcopal Church, as Corporate Sole and renamed Trinity College of Quezon City.

The aim of the school is "Producing competent and world class nurses".

The St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing, the predecessor of St. Luke's College of Nursing, is one of the oldest nursing schools in the Philippines. It was established in 1907 soon after the founding of St. Luke's Hospital (now the St. Luke's Medical Center). The Rev. Charles Brent, the first Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines saw the need for Filipino nurse initiated the school's establishment together with Miss Ellen T. Hicks, then the first superintendent of nurses. The school had three of the seventeen Filipino women who first took nursing in the Philippines.

Since 1911, St. Luke's graduates have distinguished themselves in clinical practice, nursing education, government service, and postgraduate studies through the promotion and advancement of nursing in the Philippines.

The school celebrated its centenary in 2007, St. Luke's College of Nursing has prided itself through the 100 years as one of the oldest and one of the top performing nursing schools in the Philippines.

Courses Offered:
Doctor in Nursing Management
Master of Arts in Nursing
Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Data-driven short-term load forecast method and demand-side management for distribution network
GaoY_2022.pdf (15.69Mb)
Gao, Yuanda
With the development of the power grid, the smart grid makes the system more intelligent, efficient, sustainable and reliable with integrated Information and Communication Systems. Moreover, the data from the advanced system provides chances to utilise machine learning algorithms to improve the system operation further. In addition, the load profile is undergoing altering and becoming more unpredictable because of the increase in smart home appliances, EVs, e-heating systems, energy storage devices, etc. These factors bring more challenges and opportunities for the future power system to improve operational efficiency and demand response quality. In this regard, considering load forecasting is crucial in smart distribution networks for utility companies, especially those employing the demand-side management alternatives, the short-term load forecast could be more accurate and robust, evolve for future load forecasting purposes, and reveal its value in improving demand-side management qualities. This research proposes a novel Dynamic Adaptive Compensation-Long Short-Term Memory (DAC-LSTM) forecast method. This method uses high time-resolution datasets and LSTM networks as fundamental to give short-term time-series load forecast results. The proposed method dynamically distinguishes the peak and off-peak hours and improves the forecast accuracy separately. For DNOs, the forecast errors, especially during peak hours, lead to penalties to start/stop backup generations or adjust the distribution schedules, and this will result in more operational costs. Further, the proposed method introduces a novel DAC block to compensate for forecast errors according to the error trend calculated by historical forecast and actual load, then applying dynamic adaptive parameters. The greater the current-to-average forecast error ratio or the closer the forecast step to the present time stamp, the larger the compensation factors. Besides, the factor caps are set to prevent the model from over-compensation conditions. The sensitivity of introduced parameters is analysed, providing the performance of the developed method under different parameter values. Afterwards, the proposed method is evaluated with six case studies, including varying the forecast steps (compared with LSTM and ARIMA), limiting the size and length of the training datasets (compared with ARIMA and Persistence), comparing with other state-of-art methods qualitatively, and comparing with ELEXON UK domestic load forecast results. Finally, the advantages of the DAC-LSTM method are validated, including providing accurate short-term load forecast results during peak and off-peak simultaneously, with a shorter length of or fewer households' historical datasets, and compared with existing transmission network forecast methods. The system operators, like DNOs, can reduce the operational cost with more accurate forecasts during peak hours as well as own more load curtailment potentials during the off-peak hours. Additionally, more contributions, including the future bottom-up load scenarios establishment and the improved Stackelberg Game demand response for end-user utility bill reductions, will help system operators develop suitable DSM alternatives and tariffs based on more realistic and accurate analysis. To be more specific, first, based on the Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) 2018 and the UK government reports, bottom-up load profiles are designed and generated for the UK distribution network for the scenario years 2020, 2030 and 2040. The DAC-LSTM method is evaluated with these scenario profiles, yielding up to 0.989 and 3.79% (measured in R2 and MAPE) forecast accuracy, for various levels of electric vehicle and e-heating penetration when compared with the ARIMA and Persistence methods. Second, a DSM alternative is built based on a Stackelberg Game to reduce the consumers' utility bill, which considered the forecast error as a constraint. In this game, given that the consumer offers maximum controllable power to the operator, the game achieves the Stackelberg Equilibrium while maximising the operator's revenue and supplying the necessary power to consumers. The case study demonstrates that when considering forecast errors in demand response strategies, higher forecast accuracies reduce the electricity bill up to 10.4% in an ideal circumstance. The improved Stackelberg Game makes the forecast error one primary constraint that most existing DSM alternatives lack. This proves the value of utilising state-of-art forecast methods in the deployment of DSM alternatives.

Battle begins over mental health funding after Evers' State of the State address
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — The battle over state funding for mental health services is underway after Governor Tony Evers laid out his budget proposal Tuesday night.
He wants to spend roughly $500 million on services throughout the state after declaring 2023 the Year of Mental Health.
Groups on the ground say they're fighting a mental health crisis every day that in some cases has life-or-death consequences. They say more money will help fund solutions, but first comes the political jockeying for position.
Abigail Swetz, Communications Director for the state's Department of Public Instruction, said, "We need the funding. We need the budget to go through."
Swetz said many mental health trends have been concerning for some time. In 2022 the state's Office of Children's Mental Health found 52% of high school students reported anxiety, 34% felt sad or hopeless every day, and 22% reported self-harm.
And the bi-annual Youth Risk Behavior Survey of Wisconsin children showed concerning suicide trends: nearly 1 of every 5 high school students has seriously considered suicide. The numbers are even worse for certain subgroups.
Swetz said many students don't feel they can seek out help. That's partly why DPI is proposing more money for mental health resources. Swetz said, "It would get money into the hands of every district, no matter the size, starting with enough even for the smallest district in our state. Starting with enough for at least one mental health professional to be in that district."
In the past, most money has been available through grants. But this proposal would make the money available whether or not districts applied for it. It would also scale up depending on the size of the district.
DPI is one of dozens of organizations that would split a sizeable chunk of funding under Governor Evers' budget proposal.
In Tuesday's State of the State address, Evers said, "We'll be making an overall investment of about $500 million to expand access to mental and behavioral health services for folks across our state."
But Assembly Speaker Robin Vos controls the purse strings. He plans to ignore the dollar amounts Evers proposed and instead start from scratch. In response to Evers' address, Vos said Tuesday, "As you know, all of Governor Evers' ideas will probably be tossed aside like we always do, and we'll start over."
Vos indicated he supports many of the programs Evers wants to fund, and is willing to consider others, but only after a tax cut.
Abigail Swetz said DPI is eager to work with the legislature, and sees hope on the horizon despite the troubling trends. "People are waking up to this being a problem. It's been a problem for far too long and we've reached a crisis level."
The recommended ratio for mental health professionals to patients is 250 to 1, but Wisconsin falls well below at 440 to 1. And in some counties, there are as many as 13,000 people for every one mental health professional.

Cats are usually tidy animals and they have a good instinct to bury the waste they made. For that reason, litter box training is usually incredibly easy when you adopt a kitten. Nevertheless, you should take several things into considerations to make this process even easier. So, here are the tips and the best ways to learn your cat to use the litter box.
First of all, it's important to purchase the right litter box. Durable, heavy plastic is undoubtedly the best material for your cat's toilet; it holds up well for a longer period on time and it is easy and convenient to clean. Sides of the litter box should be low enough to make it easy for kittens to enter and exit. If, however, your pet hasn't got good aim, pick the box with a little bit higher sides to keep waste and litter off the floor. Another thing to consider when selecting a litter box is how large it is; your cats should be able to turn around while there and to cover their waste.
How many litter boxes you need? The number of litter boxes you'll need is individual, but in general, it would be wise to have as many litter boxes as cats, plus one. This is particularly recommended if your pet's having trouble using litter boxes.
The choice of location is vital. The litter box should be placed in an area of your home that's easily accessible, yet quiet. If, however, you have adopted a formerly outdoor animal, you should try to place at least one litter box nearby the door.
As I've already mentioned, using a litter box is usually instinctive for a cat, but there are still some things you should do to make this process go more smoothly. For example, it's recommended to show your pets the litter box as soon as you bring them home for the first time. Place your kitten in a box after a nap, meal or a play session, but also if it appears to you to be inclined to pee or else.
Check out these Luuup promo codes and/or Sporting Dog Mart Coupons to buy the best litter box as well as other incredible things for your newly adopted pets.

August retail sales increase 'reflects underlying growth' in sector
By Nicola Harrison2014-09-18T10:58:00+01:00
Retail sales volumes increased for the seventeenth consecutive month in August, rising 0.4% and reflecting "underlying growth" in the sector.
However, average store prices fell in August 2014 by 1.2% compared with August 2013, the largest fall since July 2009, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.
This was largely driven by the slowing of prices at petrol stations, but falling prices at food stores, down 0.1%, also contributed. The fall in food prices was the first annual decline since December 2004 when they also fell by 0.1%.
Last month sales volumes were up 0.4% month on month. Compared with August 2013, sales volumes jumped 3.9%
The ONS said that because of the sustained increases, when coupled with 18 months of consecutive rolling quarterly growth, "it would be true to say that the underlying picture is one of growth".
Retail sales values edged up 0.2% month on month. Compared with August 2013 they were up 2.7%.
Online sales values increased 8.3% last month. However, digital sales accounted for a lower proportion of overall sales, falling 0.2% to represent 11% of turnover.
Sales values of household goods jumped 12.7% compared with August 2013, representing the largest year-on-year increase since 2001, when sales were up 16.2%. ONS found that furniture was the main driver of growth, with sales surging 23.4%, the largest rise since records began in 1988.
Stores that sell electrical appliances also did well, as consumers rushed to snap up high powered vacuum cleaners before the EU energy saving regulation came into force at the end of August.
Barclays head of retail and wholesale Richard Lowe said: "More heartening news for the retail sector as sales continued their steady year-on-year growth in August. As retailers return after their summer holidays, all eyes will now be on their autumn and winter collections.
"Whilst the warm September weather we're seeing across the UK is good news for most of us, retailers could face a slower than expected start to sales of new ranges as consumers may not be quite ready to pack away their summer wardrobes."

Scalable clusters make HPC R&D easy as Raspberry Pi
It brings a powerful high-performance-computing testbed to system-software developers, researchers and others who lack machine time on the world's fastest supercomputers.
The BitScope Pi Cluster Modules system creates an affordable, scalable, highly parallel testbed for high-performance-computing system-software developers.

"The Raspberry Pi modules let developers figure out how to write this software and get it to work reliably without having a dedicated testbed of the same size, which would cost a quarter billion dollars and use 25 megawatts of electricity." - Gary Grider, leader of the High Performance Computing Division
System with thousands of nodes brings affordable testbed to supercomputing system-software developers
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Nov. 13, 2017—A quest to help the systems software community work on very large supercomputers without having to actually test on them has spawned an affordable, scalable system using thousands of inexpensive Raspberry Pi nodes. It brings a powerful high-performance-computing testbed to system-software developers, researchers, and others who lack machine time on the world's fastest supercomputers.
"It's not like you can keep a petascale machine around for R&D work in scalable systems software," said Gary Grider, leader of the High Performance Computing Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, home of the Trinity supercomputer. "The Raspberry Pi modules let developers figure out how to write this software and get it to work reliably without having a dedicated testbed of the same size, which would cost a quarter billion dollars and use 25 megawatts of electricity."
Grider conceived the new solution to provide the systems software community with an inexpensive testbed of similar scale to the largest supercomputers being deployed. Designed and built by BitScope and distributed by SICORP, the Pi Cluster Modules enable developers to build, scale and test software before launching it on Trinity, Crossroads, and other large systems. The modules have other potential applications from education to the internet of things.
Trinity supercomputer now fully operational
The BitScope system consists of five rack-mounted Pi Cluster Modules, each with 150 four-core nodes of Raspberry Pi ARM processor boards. They are fully integrated with network switching infrastructure. With a total of 750 CPUs or 3,000 cores working together, the system gives developers exclusive time on an inexpensive but highly parallelized platform for test and validation of scalable systems software technologies.
"Having worked with Raspberry Pi for quite some time, I've long thought it the ideal candidate to build low-cost cloud and cluster computing solutions for research and education," said Bruce Tulloch, CEO of BitScope. "When SICORP approached us with Gary's plans, we jumped at the opportunity to prove the concept."
The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive, credit-card sized computer that can be connected to a keyboard and TV to do just about anything a typical desktop computer can do. It was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the United Kingdom to help spread computing in education and in developing countries. The price for a basic model starts at about $25 and consumes only a handful of watts of power.
Beyond HPC system-software development, additional applications for the Pi Cluster Modules include better simulation of large-scale sensor networks, with flexible I/O to connect the actual sensor devices; HPC network topology research, to improve production performance; and the internet of things.
Looking around for a solution to the challenges facing HPC systems software developers, Grider said, he "suddenly realized the Raspberry Pi was an inexpensive computer using 2 to 3 watts that you could use to build a several-thousand-node system large enough to provide a low-cost, low-power testbed to enable this R&D." Yet he could not find a suitable densely packaged Raspberry Pi system on the market.
"It was just people building clusters with Tinker Toys and Legos," said Grider, a widely respected innovator in the HPC world. So he turned to SICORP of Albuquerque, N.M., to collaborate on a solution. Then they jointly worked with BitScope of Australia to develop easily scaled rack-mounted units.

France's oldest nuclear reactor to finally shut down
Environmentalists have welcomed news that the 43-year-old Fessenheim reactor will close, nine years after it was first planned France's oldest nuclear power plant will shut down on Tuesday after four decades in operation, to the delight of environmental activists who have long warned of contamination risks, but stoking worry for the local economy. The Fessenheim plant, opened in 1977 and already three years over its projected 40-year life span, became a target for anti-nuclear campaigners after the catastrophic meltdown at Fukushima in Japan in 2011.

Have a heart, KitKat, don't break with Fairtrade
Nestlé is big in York, but the city is fighting the brand's decision to make life harder for African cocoa farmers Here's a quiz question: how many KitKats are produced in the Nestlé factory in York each year? A hundred million? Keep going. The plant makes a billion of the UK's bestselling chocolate bars annually. That volume is one reason that the company's shameful decision to end the brand's Fairtrade certification will have such a devastating effect on cocoa farmers. I visited some of the Fairtrade-certified cocoa farms in Ivory Coast last year. Seeing the difference that a measure of financial security can make to some of the poorest villages on earth is a lasting lesson in the mechanics of hope. Continue reading... https://bit.ly/3e43Jqe

You Can Now Buy a Rolex and Washing Machine at Sears
By Kate Rogers Published July 22, 2013 FOXBusiness
Sears just got a little more fancy.
The department store chain, known for its affordable clothing and home appliance offerings, is now peddling high-end designer duds from major labels including, Chanel, Rolex and Zac Posen.
The designer goods will be sold on The Sears Marketplace through third-party vendors. The move may seem counterintuitive, but a Sears (NASDAQ:SHLD) spokesperson says it takes the department store back to its roots, which once included selling cars.
"We've grown Sears Marketplace to include more than 85 million items in just more than three years, so while it does include designer items, it also includes literally millions of other items across nearly every imaginable product category at a wide variety of price ranges. We're focused on serving, delighting and engaging our members while they shop their way," said Imran Jooma, executive vice president and president, marketing, online and financial services, Sears Holdings in a statement to FOX Business.
However, luxury marketing expert Pam Danziger, says the move is misguided and will confuse shoppers looking for a bargain.
"It just seems totally nuts to me," Danziger, who is president of Unity Marketing says. "Sears, K-Mart and luxury don't go together."
Shares of Sears were up 12 cents to $44.50 on Monday.
Sears Marketplace faces stiff competition in the e-commerce world that is currently dominated by eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which are more widely-known and established. Luxury consumers will likely have trouble making the switch to trusting Sears in making big-ticketed purchases, says Danziger.
"eBay has had success, but that is a function of their longevity and through their ratings system, they have given [shoppers] more confidence. I don't know how Sears can match the length of time eBay has been at this business to compete with them," Danziger says.
Offering more upscale items can help a company's bottom line, Danziger says, calling K-Mart's move to sell Martha Stewart products a smart decision. But Sear's move might be too far of a jump.
"Affluent [consumers] only make up about 20% of American households, but are 40% of consumer spending. But Sears is wasting time on this. They should be doing a better job of attracting more affluent customers back into their store, with good merchandise and good service," she says. "Affluent shoppers buy from all classes of stores—from dollar stores up to Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman."
But Sears seems confident the move was a smart one, and will enable it to better serve its customers with more selection.
"When you combine the capabilities of our stores with the broad assortment we have available online, it will help bring an endless aisle of products from our Marketplace to our members and start to blur the four walls of our stores. If our members can't find the items they need in a store, they can order through the terminals or tablets in store and have them delivered to their homes," Jooma says in a statement.

Community sits at the very heart of Westmorland. We want to invest in our communities for future generations. We look to work with organisations and projects that are geographically local to us and our colleagues' communities, focusing our efforts on supporting young people with an emphasis on food and enterprise.
Over the last 46 years we have been able to support local organisations and projects through our community partnerships, foyer and till collections, our Community Fund and our 5p bag charge.
Every penny you drop into our collection boxes makes a huge difference to the lives of those in our communities, enabling us to continue to support the vital work of our partners.
This could not be done without the generosity of you, our customers and the hard work of our colleagues. Thank you for your ongoing support.
Every five years, we choose a long-term charity partner. This means we can really make a difference. July 2017 marked the end of our 5 year partnership with the Lake District Calvert Trust.
Through collection boxes and fundraising efforts, we have raised over £46,000.
For our next 5 year project, we have partnered with the Soil Association to fund four local primary schools taking part in the Food for Life School Award programme. The project links to the curriculum and encourages a better understanding of growing, cooking and learning to love good food - helping to make a positive ongoing contribution to the children's health and well-being.
We will be supporting Orton Primary School, Kirkby Stephen Primary School, Crosby Ravensworth Primary School and Beaconside Primary School.
We're proud to support our local Kirkby Stephen Mountain Rescue Team, a group of around 30 volunteers, providing a vital service here in rural Cumbria. The team is on call round the clock to deal with emergencies referred through Cumbria's emergency services. The team is funded entirely by public donation. The money they have raised at Tebay Services, over £15,000 last year, contributes around 40% of the amount needed to cover their basic running costs.
For many years we've supported the Tebay branch of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, with volunteers collecting around £14,000 each year. The branch has collected an amazing £149,600 since 1980.
We work closely with Cumbria Community Foundation who have managed grant making from our community fund since 2010. Together we have set out a 10 year vision to enable positive change to colleague communities in Cumbria with the intention of creating a lasting legacy.
Priorities for the Westmorland Community Fund are to support young people who will benefit from good schools and supportive communities. The fund will also support smaller, local community grants including village halls, play groups and community events.
When the government introduced new legislation on reducing plastic bag usage across the country, we introduced a 5p bag charge across all our businesses. Our bags were already reusable, but we were keen to support the environmental benefits that reducing plastic waste encourages. We have been able to support a wide variety of local organisations and projects with the money raised.

Why you can't always rely on numbers in the news
By Amelia Butterly
Newsbeat reporter
duration 24 November 2015

People like to use opinion polls, surveys and statistics to make a point about big issues.
Politicians use them in debates, newspapers put them on front pages and people quote them on social media.
The Sun published a story claiming that one in five British Muslims had sympathy with jihadis. The headline was swiftly mocked on social media.
The tabloid used a survey conducted by Survation, where people picked the statement they agreed with.
Respondents selected whether they had "a lot of sympathy", "some sympathy" or "no sympathy" with young Muslims who left the UK to fight in Syria.
image copyrightThe Sun/BBC
image captionThe Sun's front cover on Monday 23 November
The Sun stands by its report and the figures in it, but other newspapers have criticised the way it interpreted the data - for example, adding together those with "some" sympathy to those with "a lot of sympathy" (53 people out of 1,003).
When you see big numbers talked about on television, or online, these are the kinds of questions you might want to ask.
Where do the numbers come from?
"You don't need to be a mathematician to understand statistics," says Will Moy, from Full Fact, an independent fact checking charity.
So even if you didn't ace your maths GCSE, it's still possible for you to understand - and even question - the numbers you see reported in the media.
Advertisers may generate statistics to help make a product more appealing. Governments survey the population to inform policies for the future. Charities will promote statistics to make people aware of an issue.
"Statistics are numbers but they are little bits of information," says Dr Jennifer Rogers from the University of Oxford.
While they might help experts to "get an indication of what's going on", they also allow people to "present" and "interpret" the data in different ways.
All polls are not created equal
Think about those hair advertisements you see where a celebrity spins around while a voiceover tells you that 87% of women agree that a certain shampoo makes your hair softer.
Sounds like a pretty big proportion of people, right?
Dr Rogers, an ambassador for the Royal Statistical Society, says it's important to look at the number of people who were surveyed.
image captionThe red thing has increased more than the blue thing but who knows what, why or how?
"If I take different samples of people I'm never going to get the same answer every single time," she says.
"The bigger my sample size, the more reliable my result is. If I've only got a small number of people in my sample then it's not as reliable an answer and it will be subject to a lot of uncertainty."
If you look at the small print at the bottom of the advertisement, you will probably see the number of people they surveyed. If something like only 97 people were asked then that's a relatively small sample.
Dr Rogers also points out that if those people signed up to do the survey, they may have a greater than average interest in beauty and give answers that do not represent the nation as a whole.
What's in a question?
"If you see 70% of women agree, that always says to me, what question have they asked them?" says Dr Rogers.
"They said to these women, 'Do you agree with this statement?'
"I think more people would probably just tick, yeah I agree with that. They might answer differently if they were given a question such as, 'How does this make your hair feel?'"
Leading questions, asking whether you agree with a statement, for example, can really shape the types of answer that are given and therefore the data is produced.
An either/or choice also doesn't offer the spectrum of emotion or opinion that people can hold.
One in five, 20% and a fifth - they're all the same thing
"Number jargon," when something is described as being increased by 17% for example, is "really unhelpful" according to Mr Moy.
"It's very easy just to put people off completely," he says.
Full Fact actually encourages the media to avoid using statistics in their reports unless it is strictly necessary.
News websites should also be visualising statistics more, Dr Rogers suggests, as people can understand one coloured-in figure and four blanks ones representing one in five people, much better than the phrase "20% of people" even though they are the same thing.
Who can you trust?
"We're relatively lucky in this country, having official statistics that are pretty robust and independent systems for making sure they are trustworthy," says Mr Moy.
People in other parts of the world "can't take it for granted" that governments and organisations are releasing reliable data.
One of the most powerful influences on people is their social networks, Mr Moy says, so when you repeat or quote statistics online, you can be shaping the way the people you know see the world.
"The people you trust most are your friends, that's where you get your opinions from," he says.
"You don't have to repeat these numbers unless you've seen they've got enough evidence to base them on."

Q: How to write matchers for all the important test libraries? I'm currently extending Degraph to check for violation of dependency rules.
So far I have created matchers for ScalaTest, since this is my favorite test library for the JVM. But many others prefer or have to use other libraries. So I'd like to provide matchers (or whatever is the appropriate equivalent) for those as well.
On the other hand I'm lazy so I don't want to provide a matcher for every conceivable library.
So the question is:
Is there some kind of matcher library that can be used in all (or the most / many) test libraries? Or maybe a wrapper that converts Hamcrest matchers to matchers for all the other libs?
The libraries I would like to support (in that order of importance):

*

*JUnit

*ScalaTest

*most popular testing library for Groovy

*most popular testing library for Clojure

*Specs2

*TestNG

A: *

*Every unit testing framework I've seen will fail a test that throws an exception.

*Hamcrest's assertThat(T value, Matcher<T> matcher) will throw an AssertionError if matcher.matches(value) returns false.

Therefore, Hamcrest should work out-of-the-box with most testing frameworks. For other libraries, such as for building mock objects, you'll need to either use Hamcrest's Matcher objects natively or write an integration layer. One way would be to create a method to decorate any matcher, for example*,
ArgumentMatcher<T> decorate(final Matcher<T> matcher) {
    return new ArgumentMatcher() {
        public boolean <T> accepts(T value) {
            return matcher.matches(value);
        }
    }
}

* This is a contrived example using a theoretical Mocking API.


We recognise that a significant number of patients have dementia and that a stay in hospital can be a particularly stressful time for them and an especially worrying time for their families and carers.
We have introduced many initiatives as part of our work to make our staff more aware of the needs of patients who experience dementia, and of their families and carers. Our staff have been trained to involve carers as much as they can because they are a vital source of information and help in getting to know and understand the patient and can help with communication. Carers are encouraged to visit at any time to work with staff to ensure person-centred care.


Heating and Plumbing Engineer can provide Lanark a great range of heating services, including installing a new boiler.
Are you concerned over soaring water bills? If so, keep reading, because we may be able to help! The sudden increases could be due to hidden leaks in your bathroom. If these are left untreated, they will cost you not only on your heating and water bills, but they could also cost you considerably on repair work. Water leaks could lead to serious damage to your floors, walls and paint. So, if you notice that your walls are warping, or your floors are staining, we encourage you to contact a plumber for assistance. The longer you leave an issue, the greater it (and its repair work) becomes.
We advise you to check the seals around your shower occasionally- because this is a place where an undetected leak could lead to a big plumbing issue. Big damage can be caused, if water keeps leaking and contacting with the surrounding floor or walls. The problem could soon become a great cause of stress and expense, if it is left undetected and unresolved. Wooden floorboards can eventually rot, which can lead to expensive repair or replacement work. Puddles on vinyl flooring can cause it to curl and deteriorate so much so, that the water then reaches whatever is underneath it- which is normally wood.
So, look out for signs such as rotting flooring and peeling paintwork, and seek assistance at the earliest opportunity. Make sure you leave your shower curtain in your tub when you have a shower. This minimises the risk of having puddles of water on your floor. And check that your shower doors close properly. Sometimes the condition of the seals deteriorates and require attention.
A lot of leaks that come from a toilet are originated from a leak between the waste pipe and toilet. So, this will mean water will leak every time you flush your toilet. And as your toilet is likely to be used a lot more often than your shower, the damage to your floors can develop rapidly.
Your toilet moving, when you sit on it, indicates an issue. Eventually the rocking could break the flange seal which can lead to a leak. So, check the seals round the bottom of your toilet, where it meets the floor and check the toilet is secure. If it isn't, get it secured!
Leaks around taps usually lead to a hidden area, making detecting the leak hard. If the seals are damaged, and the silicone areas around taps and faucets have deteriorated, they will let water seep through. This will damage the area below.
If your taps are dripping water- a common issue- you also have a problem. Don't ignore this. Water lost from dripping taps can accumulate quickly, causing your water bills and energy bills- if it's hot water escaping- to rapidly climb.
Do you need a new boiler in Lanark?
Along with experiencing plumbing issues, you may find yourself experiencing heating issues. We would love to help you with this. We can offer many services- from installing heat pumps, to fitting a new boiler- if living in Lanark, or its surrounding areas. All our boilers come with a warranty ranging from 5-10 years. So, please don't hesitate to contact us. We can meet all your heating needs and promise to always offer a friendly, honest, and competitively priced service.

The second album Judee Sill made, proved to be her last. Instead of using an outside arranger for the strings for her album Heart Food (as she did on her previous album Judee Sill [MOVLP1800]), Sill did all of the work herself.
Sill's music was complex, elegantly crafted and yet completely devoid of pretension or overwrought melodrama. Unfairly lumped in with other female, proto-adult contemporary songwriters like Joni Mitchell or Carole King, Sill was much closer in spirit to Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, or one her idols, J.S. Bach. She had a gift for making very complicated things sound simple, beautiful.


In a rare move, a top official from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) accused the Qatari-run Al Jazeera satellite television station of engaging in anti-Semitism, discrimination and incitement to religious hatred.
Al Jazeera has "promoted anti-Semitic violence by broadcasting sermons by the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi," according to a letter released by Anwar Gargash, the UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs.
The UAE's letter comes amid a wider dispute between Qatar and its Arab Gulf neighbors. Last month, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies, including the UAE, cut ties with Qatar for its support for Islamic terrorism and its cooperation with Iran. Shutting down Al Jazeera is among Arab Gulf states' demands for a restoration of relations with Qatar.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said demanding Qatar to close Al Jazeera violates freedom of expression.

Kathy Griffin has confirmed that Bravo will continue to be the home for her Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List reality series.
"It's Season 5. We start shooting [Wednesday]," Griffin told Us Weekly at the GQ Men of the Year party on Tuesday night.
Although Bravo stated in September that it had already renewed Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List following the show's second-straight Emmy Award win, Griffin subsequently stated she still hadn't signed a deal for a fifth season of the show.
"You'd think that having won a second freakin' Emmy would entitle me to a few more bucks," Griffin had told the Chicago Sun-Times last month. "Hey, I'm just looking for tens more dollars from Bravo."
In addition, Griffin had told the Sun-Times that while she hoped to reach a deal with Bravo -- which has aired Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List since its 2005 debut -- she was also keeping her options open by "talking to another [broadcast] network and a cable network."
Now that her contract situation with Bravo has apparently been worked out, Griffin said My Life on the D-List's fifth season "is going to be a little bit of a transitional season" and explained why.
"It's going to be more celebrity oriented," she told Us. "[It's] the way that American Idol sort of started as a singing contest and then every week you expect to see the mentors. I have some really good guest stars coming on the D-List this year."
While Griffin remained mum on the actual celebrities who will appear on the show's fifth season, she jokingly added "the two Emmys didn't help" entice any potential guest stars.
"I'm actually getting a lot of people that I want to, and it's really, really exciting," she told Us.
