Q: renderInContext in uiwebview change my contentSize Is anyone have some trouble with renderInContext ?
Because i'm trying to render a UIWebView, but the call to renderInContext modify my UIWebView contentSize !
Here is my code :
-(void)render
{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(webview.bounds.size);
    // webview.scrollView.contentSize.width = 5120.0
    [webview.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    // webview.scrollView.contentSize.width = 6400.0
    renderedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}

Thanks

A: I'm having the same problem.
I get the error: Instance method '-renderInContext:' not found (return type defaults to 'id')

Yankees optimistic about Luis Severino but have no timetable yet

By Erik Boland erik.boland@newsday.com @eboland11 Updated June 15, 2019 11:07 PM
CHICAGO — General manager Brian Cashman has said several times that he believes ace Luis Severino should return to the Yankees sometime after the All-Star break.
Still, the timetable for the righthander taking the next significant step in his rehab — which would be throwing off a mound — is up in the air.
"Just continuing to stretch out," Aaron Boone said late Saturday afternoon. "Not sure exactly when his first bullpen will be, but he's just continuing to get lengthened out from a throwing program standpoint, and then you get up to the mound portion."
Severino, who started the season on the injured list with right rotator cuff inflammation and then was shelved from throwing for six weeks when he suffered a lat strain in early April, has made the last several trips with the Yankees, consistently throwing in the outfield on flat ground before games. He has thrown up to 90 feet during long-toss sessions.
"All that's, since he started throwing, has gone pretty smoothly," Boone said. "He's felt good every time he's thrown; coming in the next day, he's felt good. So he's moving in the right direction, but staying pretty disciplined to the progression."
As for when after the All-Star break Severino might return, Boone doesn't have a timeframe.
"I'm not thinking anything right now," he said. "You just focus on the process right now. Getting him out to the long toss and then getting on the mound and then you can start to have an idea from 'OK, what's a spring training buildup for a starting pitcher look like?' And that's what we're dealing with."

Luke Voit, who homered in the first inning off Lucas Giolito on Friday, took exception to the pitch that arrived up and in during his second at-bat.
"I go deep on him, then next pitch 97? I don't even know how it didn't hit me," a still-steamed Voit said afterward. "It's a bunch of B.S. It's really frustrating. I don't know if he was trying to do it or not but … when it's in that area, it's not good. First pitch you throw to me after I hit a home run off you is at my face? I mean, you tell me."
Urshela rest
Gio Urshela, in his first extended slump of the season, got his second day off in three games Saturday.
"Just one of the infielders has to be down, so this is the alignment I wanted to go with today," Boone said.
Urshela came into the day with a .179/.244/.359 slash line in 12 games this month. Though mostly strong in the field, the third baseman committed a key error in Friday's loss, giving him a team-high 10.
All good for Gregorius
Friday marked one week since Didi Gregorius came off the injured list after starting the season there while recovering from offseason Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Boone, who said the shortstop likely will get Sunday off, has been encouraged by how Gregorius has looked physically.
"I think pretty well," Boone said. "When you check with him, he's been ready to play every day for a long time. But I feel like he has responded well, feel like he's moving pretty well and feel like overall he's getting sharper and sharper with each inning."

The Game of Bone
The Game of Bone review
Ask literally anyone on the planet what they thought about Game of Thrones – you're probably going to get a response that is completely positive. Few can deny that when it comes to this particular series, it's incredibly popular and well received (except for the ending, which got universally panned). Did you know that the Game of Thrones TV show actually has a porn parody game based upon it? Since the original series was so damn erotic already, it's hardly surprising that something like this came out. Anyway, today I'm set to take a look at The Game of Bone to see what it has to offer. If you'd like to learn more, read on for my full, complete, high IQ analysis.
First impressions of The Game of Bone
You've got the ability to play The Game of Bone through your browser if you want: you can also download it if you're on a Windows PC. It does appear that a MacOS client is in the works, but there's no solid date for its release as things currently stand. The Game of Bone was released in October of 2019, so it's quite a new project, but don't let that fool you: it's clear to me that they've been working on this particular game for a very long time. Let's load it up and play a little, since I want to see what characters are available to be boned!
Playing The Game of Bone
You'll have the ability to pick from a range of 5 different male characters when the game starts: your choice will influence which women in the game you're able to have sex with. Note that you can always go back to the start and play as someone else if you desire: you've got replay value here, which I think is quite cool. The girls I saw featured in The Game of Bone that can be fucked included Margaery Tyrell, Cersei Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, Missandei and Melisandre to name but a few. According to the game's official guide, there are 40 NPCs as things currently stand that have animated sex scenes associated with them: pretty fucking cool, right?
The Game of Bone is a dialog-driven game with a few small elements of combat, but you'll be able to play it entirely with your mouse and, more importantly, a single hand. There are lots of tasks to complete and I doubt you'll ever get tired of trying out all of the different possible avenues of gameplay. Your choices matter in this game – you can even have threesomes if you play your cards right.
Final thoughts on The Game of Bone
I ended up playing The Game of Bone for around an hour before eventually deciding it was time for a review. I'll be honest: there are a few small things that the developers need to improve, but the high quality animated sex scenes are literally out of this world and a perfect experience for any die-hard GoT lover. If you enjoy XXX video games and you want to see some Game of Thrones characters getting down and dirty, this is the spot for you. As always – thanks for reading this top-tier adult game website review and be sure to come back any time you need advice on the best places to go for erotic gaming!

Q: Perlin noise implemented in php, undefined offset in permutation table, but index is defined So, I decided to write a perlin noise implementation in php. Don't ask me why, I've forgotten. Following this: https://flafla2.github.io/2014/08/09/perlinnoise.html , I have gotten to the point where I should be getting some results. Octaves haven't been worked in yet, but the vectors should be doing their thing.
Offending code at the bottom of the post.
I had a few mistakes when implementing it as a class (seriously, whose idea was it to make it compulsory to preface every in-class variable with a $this->? It almost gave me a literal headache fixing all the mistakes I'd made), but I think I have caught them all. I did have some trouble doubling my permutation matrix, but that is done as well. I know this because I have printed it. However, when I try to get the hash thing, I get a page-full of PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 1 in perlin.php (0 as well as 1).
This leads to a bunch of variables that should be integers being null. I have tol my functions what to expect, so I get PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to perlin::grad() must be of the type int, null given, called in perlin.php on line 56 and defined in perlin.php:73
The thing that confuses me the most is that the array that is complaining is defined all the way from 0 to 511 (inclusive).
Am I missing some vital information, like the difference between an index and an offset?
Code:
<?php

class perlin{
    public function __construct(){
        $p=array_merge($this->permutation,$this->permutation);
        print_r($p);
    }

Devin Dawson Announces 2018 Stray Off Course Headlining Tour Dates
Erika Goldring, Getty Images
Devin Dawson will embark on his first headlining tour later this year. The "Asking for a Friend" singer has revealed an eight-date tour running through November and December.
Titled the Stray Off Course Tour, the trek starts Nov. 1 in South Carolina and run through Dec. 15, with stops in Georgia, Michigan, New York, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma along the way. The tour is named after a line in Dawson's song introspective "Dark Horse":
"I'll side with the outsiders / Those longshot last-round fighters / Anyone who ain't afraid to stray off course."
This One Hurts Just as Much
Dawson has spent the majority of 2018 on the road serving as an opening for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's live show, in addition to opening gigs for labelmate Brett Eldredge.
In addition to touring, the California native recently received recognition for his ability as a singer-songwriter. Dawson — who wrote all of the tracks on his 2018 debut album Dark Horse — was given the MusicRow award for Breakthrough Artist-Writer of the Year. The Taste of Country RISER shared his appreciation for the recognition on social media earlier this year, writing, "So honored by this award! Thank you @MusicRow for making me feel like family on these two historic streets in Nashville. Cheers!"
Devin Dawson's 2018 Stray Off Course Tour Dates:
Nov. 1 — Columbia, S.C.
Nov. 2 — Savannah, Ga.
Nov. 3 — Rome, Ga.
Nov. 9 — Detroit, Mich.
Nov. 10 — Buffalo, N.Y.
Dec. 7 — Arlington, Texas
Dec. 8 — Baton Rouge, La.
Dec. 15 — Pocolo, Okla.

Q: Why does the Bohr model give the correct energy levels for hydrogen even though it assumes a circular orbit? I've been reading the answers for this question: Why did the Bohr Model Successfully calculate some of the energy levels in hydrogen?
but it hasn't really satisfied my curiosity. Some answers suggest it's luck and it cannot be derived from some more accurate theory (like GR -> Newton's gravitational law or Lorentz transformation -> Galileo transformation).
I've read this comment which I don't fully understand:

Take Schrodinger's equation Set $\psi =a e^{i\frac{J}{\hbar}}$ in. One will get an equation for $a$ and for $J$ higher order terms of $\hbar$ like $\hbar^2$ are to be neglected. Then you get the Hamilton-Jacobi-equation (HJE) With the HJE you can compute the Bohr's model. So one kind of develops Schrodinger's equation in orders of $\hbar$ and one gets a fundamental classical mechanics equation which can be used for getting Bohr's model (adding the quantisation principle).

Does someone understand this?
Also, I'm just really puzzled how something correct can come out of e.g. considering the electron orbit to be circular which is assumed to be wrong for multiple reasons.

A: Nothing about the Bohr model of the atom is really correct. There are no orbits. So circular or elliptical is a moot point. The reason the Bohr model predicts some things well is just coincidence. You need quantum mechanics to correctly explain the hydrogen atom.


I've gotten into curling a lot more in the past few years than I had been in the past; sure I watched the Scotties and the Brier, but not actively and not really understanding the strategy behind the shots. I still don't make the time to watch the games all the time, but I try to make sure to watch all of the big games.
This year's Gold Medal game was a rematch between Manitoba (Englot) and Ontario (Homan); Manitoba had won their previous two matches (1 round robin, the 1 vs 2 page playoff game), making an otherwise perfect Ontario team look deeply flawed. They forced them off their game and made some pretty good shots in their own right. It was shaping up to be a great final.
And trust me, it was a fantastic match-up. It started off pretty much text-book for Homan: they started the game without hammer (last rock), so they forced Manitoba to take a single point. They took 3 points in a brilliant shot, and forced another point to take the hammer back. It was looking pretty good, but there were some mistakes made, and resulted in a tie game after the 7th end.
What struck me is that both teams made more or less equal amounts of mistakes, but at any one point one of the team members pulled off a shot to save the end. It was really great to watch, even if it was nail biting.
It ended up going to extra ends, and Homan had to make a really difficult shot to secure the win. It's hard to describe – so you should watch the highlight reel instead. Be sure to watch for the broom flip at the end. I am 99% sure that this was inspired by the likes of Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion.
The full game (and all of the Scotties matches) should be available on Curling Canada's YouTube channel soon. Until then, whet your appetite with Manitoba vs Canada 1 vs 2 page playoff.

Ormond Group CEO Gareth Lim on the company's trio of brands — including new boutique hotel The Chow Kit
In the months preceding the opening of the first Ormond-branded hotel, Lim talks hotels, hospitality and building brands with a difference.
The only reaction I can muster when shown pictures of Tune Hotel klia2's newly refurbished interiors is open-mouthed awe. Gone are the signature red-and-white colour schemes and austere atmosphere that have now been replaced by a tropical theme restaurant done up in bright colours, guest bedrooms that are minimalist yet chic and a spa that easily rivals anything downtown. "That's generally the reaction we get when we show these pictures," laughs Gareth Lim, the youthful CEO of hospitality company Ormond Group, which manages Tune Hotels' 11 properties.

As Lim scrolls through a series of images on his iPad, I point out that the klia2 property could well be a hipster hotel in the middle of Kuala Lumpur rather than transit accommodation all the way in Sepang. Additionally, the refurbishment appears to have occurred with almost zero fanfare. But making noises about it is not quite his style, Lim says. "Words only go so far — I know it's cliched but seeing is believing and people need to come to Tune Hotels now to understand what we mean."
The Tune Hotels chain has always been perceived as an extension of the AirAsia brand but the team managing it is quite different. Ormond Group is the hospitality arm of ECM Libra Financial Group, which ventured into this field following the disposal of its investment banking and securities business. Lim's father, Lim Kian Onn, is a controlling shareholder of ECM, whose core business remains asset management.
Lim, an economics graduate turned financier with a childhood passion for aviation, spent seven years working with AirAsiaX before deciding to venture out on his own. The vehicle he chose was a joint-venture company that ran the Tune Hotels business, which eventually became Ormond Group.
"If someone had told me when I graduated that I would be in real estate one day, I would have laughed," he admits with a good-natured grin. "But I've come to realise that real estate and hospitality are great performers. The hotel trade is the second oldest in the world and we are at the forefront of a time when incomes are rising and people want to travel."
Our meeting is just ahead of two important launches that Ormond Group is planning over the coming months — that of 113-room boutique hotel The Chow Kit and its chic sibling, 99-room MoMo's.
Both properties are located on the same lot where Tune Hotels' inaugural property used to be in Jalan Sultan Ismail, and have been the subject of much curiosity — after all, which hospitality company would want to open a boutique hotel in the middle of Chow Kit, once so disreputable in reputation?

Kaiser's grant is also part of the company's and Community Solutions' "Built for Zero" initiative that aims to accelerate efforts to address the chronic homelessness among veterans within the communities that Kaiser Permanente serves.
The funding will go toward Partners In Care's Built for Zero Veteran Landlord Engagement Program, or LEP. By creating a centralized landlord engagement and unit acquisition program, Partners In Care will bring landlords and veterans' homeless service providers together to provide housing assistance to at least 95 veterans on Oahu. LEP follows the success of a similar Partners In Care program that increased the number of housing units available to individuals and families experiencing homelessness by providing landlords with damage mitigation and flexible funds for incidentals and housing services.
Through ongoing monthly reporting and access to quality real-time data, Partners In Care will demonstrate outreach progress and increase the number of landlords signed up as partners, working with homeless service providers to secure and maintain housing for veterans throughout the 12-month grant period.
"Studies have shown that it's nearly impossible to maintain one's health without a safe and stable place to live," said Greg Christian, Hawaii Market president, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals. "We applaud Partners In Care's steadfast commitment to tackling Hawaii's homeless crisis and are humbled to help support their efforts in taking care of those who have proudly served our country."

Reepham (/ˈriːfəm/) is a small market town in the English county of Norfolk, situated on the B1145 road between the Bure and Wensum valleys. The B1145 runs between King's Lynn and Mundesley. The town is 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Norwich. At the time of the 2001 census the civil parish (including Pettywell) had a population of 2,455 residents in 970 households, occupying an area of 1,909 hectares (4,720 acres). increasing to a population of 2,709 in 1,169 househoids at the 2011 Census.
The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, in which it is listed as Refham meaning the bailiff's or reeve's manor from the Old English gerafa (bailiff) and ham (homestead). Reepham has had market town status since 1277; a sign to mark this has recently been erected. The town has undergone significant development throughout its life, with the housing in the area showing a mix of vintages, styles and purposes.
Recent housing developments have mostly been on brownfield land so have not significantly expanded the perimeter of the town.
The town has both a secondary school Reepham High School and College, which achieved the highest grade—Outstanding—in every category in its 2008 Ofsted inspection, and a primary school (containing over 300 pupils).
The Reepham Society is a registered charity, set up in 1976 to stimulate public interest in Reepham, Hackford, Kerdiston, Salle and Whitwell. The town was one of the filming locations of Agatha Christie's Poirot episode The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor.
Reepham is one of only two places in Europe to have three churches on the same site. Reepham's church of St. Mary is joined by its choir vestry to St. Michael's. The third church belonged to Hackford but burned down in 1543 and now only a fragment of the tower wall remains on the left of the path leading towards the market place.
In medieval times, Reepham Church was an important place of pilgrimage. Although it was less famous than the shrine at Walsingham, people came on pilgrimage to Reepham to visit the image of Our Lady of Reepham, which had many miracles attributed to it. What form this image took is unknown. It may have been a statue, or perhaps a wood carving. There is evidence to suggest its importance and it is mentioned in the 15th-century will of Alice Cook of Horstead, who wrote that after her death, in order to smooth her passage from this world to the next, she would "Have a man goo a pilgrimage to our Lady of Reifham".
The town sign was designed by the local high school and installed in 1992. Carved by the then head of Craft Design & Technology Mr. Geldard, and painted by male student Kerry Daniels, it depicts three of each of the following elements: churches, villagers, farm labourers, sheep, lambs and "sisters" and refers to a myth that three sisters were each responsible for building a church. In fact, the three churches were built over several generations.
By 1882, the town had two stations, located on different tracks and each managed by a separate railway company. Whitwell station was on the M&GN's Norwich City to Melton Constable branch line. Reepham station was on the GEN's Wroxham to County School station line. In 1960, the tracks were joined by the construction of the Themelthorpe Curve. The work was carried out by British Rail to facilitate the movement of concrete products from Lenwade. Today, the railway trackbed forms the Marriott's Way long-distance footpath. Both former stations are notable stops on the footpath.
Sanders Coaches provide bus services to and from the town.

Blue Origin and UAE form partnership for future space tourism missions
It seems space tourism, a trend integrated by Blue Origin, among others, is one that is here to stay, at least for a while. The National, an Abu Dhabi news outlet, reported that the United Arab Emirates and Blue Origin have entered into a partnership to solidify the space tourism trend. This news comes months after Blue Origin successfully sent its first crewed mission into space on their New Shepard rocket. The flight lasted approximately 10 minutes but managed to cross the Karman Line.
Blue Origin will work with UAE on future space tourism projects
The deal will allow Blue Origin to construct a spaceport in the UAE that will be exclusively dedicated to launching space tourism missions. The planned spaceport will be located in a desert location, far away from the current launch location in El Paso, Texas. Brent Sherwood, senior vice president of advanced development programmes for Blue Origin, said that the new planned location was an "obvious choice" and would allow Blue Origin to expand its future goals.
Sherwood also said that after spending time at the International Astronautical Congress (IAU), held at the Dubai World Trade Centre until 29th October, his outlook on the partnership had been solidified. The UAE government has been looking into expanding its economy to feature foreign investors such as Blue Origin.
Space tourism costs might lower through this partnership
The UAE is certainly in a position to fund any project it wants; as they currently boast a gross national income that ranks 8th in the world, with a Gross National Product exceeding $358 billion for 2020. Blue Origin could take full advantage of the capital presented to it and fully integrate the company into UAE's growing economy. A downside to this decision is the fact that the price per seat for future rocket launches could increase even further, resulting in an industry catering to the ultra-rich.
Sherwood is optimistic that seat prices could end up lowering when the industry settles down a bit. Blue Origin holds a database of interested passengers willing to travel to space, and cost per seat trends seem to be going down. So perhaps Blue Origin could offer space tourism flight tickets, lower than one million dollars, by 2030.

Utah theater lovers have been anxiously anticipating the big-screen adaptation of Tony award-winning Jason Robert Brown's "The Last 5 Years" to open in theaters on Friday, Feb. 13.
But they won't see it on any Utah movie theater screen. The film version is in limited release and will only screen at one downtown Salt Lake City movie theater one month following the release to major U.S. cities.
Utah Repertory Theater Company presents "The Last 5 Years," playing Feb. 27-March 7 at the Sugar Space Studio Theater in Sugarhouse and March 20-22 the Ziegfeld Theatre in Ogden.

There are two sides to every love story. You will fall in love with Jamie Wellerstein and Cathy Hiatt as they recount their love stories.
Jamie is a young, talented up-and-coming Jewish novelist who falls in love with Cathy, a struggling actress — and shiksa goddess. "The Last 5 Years" tells the story of Jamie and Cathy, two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over the course of five years.
An emotionally powerful and intimate musical by the Tony award-winning composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown, "The Last 5 Years" is a story told nearly entirely through songs using an intercutting timeline device. All of Cathy's songs begin at the end of their marriage and move backwards in time to the beginning of their love affair. Jamie's songs start at the beginning of their affair and move forward to the end of their marriage. They meet in the center when Jamie proposes.

New England Patriots safety Duron Harmon said in an interview with TMZ he would not visit the White House after his team's Super Bowl win Sunday night.
"They don't want me in the White House," Harmon said.
But Harmon said he wouldn't be opposed to visiting President Obama.
"That would be dope," he said about such a meeting.
"Obama, man, come holler at me man," he said.
"We love you over here."
The Patriots visited the White House in 2017 after their previous Super Bowl win, and a few players, including quarterback Tom Brady, did not attend.
Other professional athletes have turned down similar invitations from President Trump, citing political disagreements. The NBA's Golden State Warriors opted out altogether of a White House meeting in January and instead visited President in Obama following their national championship victory.
Harmon and the rest of the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 13-3.

Behind the Scenes with Singer Nāpua Greig
December 24, 2018, 12:55 PM HST
* Updated December 26, 10:58 AM
The music and hula show at The Shops at Wailea with Nāpua Greig and her halau has become a tradition they all look forward to. The singing, the dancing…and yes, the dessert!
"It's also tradition that I buy between 50 and 60 ice cream sundaes from Lappert's," she smiles. "Every child and adults get 'em too!"
Greig and her sister started Halau Na Lei Kaumaka O Uka in their mother's garage in upcountry Maui more than 22 years ago. This year, the halau was honored with the overall winner title of the 55th Merrie Monarch Festival. But after decades of growth and accomplishments, Greig says they have decided to "take a break" from hula for at least two years, and pursue "growth in other areas."
One such opportunity for growth has come Greig's way, as the new radio co-host on KPOA 93.5 FM for Maui Morning Rise with Shane Kahalehau! Her knowledge, respect and connections within the Hawai'i music industry make her a fantastic fit. Greig garnered six nominations for Pihana, her first solo recording released in August of 2007, and won the title for Best Female Vocalist at the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Music Awards.
"There are not a lot of females in our industry, that's just the nature of the music industry, so I've been really blessed and so fortunate to have the guys in the industry as like my brothers, like for real brothers. We travel the world together, we go to each other's children's events," Greig explains.
Her concert at The Shops at Wailea on Wednesday, Dec. 19 featured beautiful performances from the keiki and adult members of her halau, along with a troupe of powerhouse musicians like Zanuck Lindsey, Sean Naleimaile and Wailau Ryder. Her longtime friend Kaulana Pakele, lead singer for The Mana'o Company, was also part of the talented team.
"They're known for '96 Degrees in the Shade,' this reggae, contemporary music, but he has a beautiful voice for Hawaiian music," she says. "We're old friends from college; we've been singing duets together for at least 25 years."
Hear more of Greig's thoughts on music, work and the prominence of hula in our interview above.
The Concerts at The Shops is a free, monthly concert series that is open to the public and features headlining musicians from all the Hawaiian Islands. This event occurs on the third Wednesday of every month from 5:30 to 7pm with performances at the main Fountain Courtyard.
The Shops offers a four-hour special event parking voucher for $5, and donates 60% of those fees to a different Maui nonprofit each month. December's recipient is Friends of the Children's Justice Center. The Shops' goal is to enrich the community through exploration and discovery in the arts and music while supporting local businesses and non-profit partners.
For a complete calendar of events, activities and entertainment, please visit The Shops at Wailea website.

Write the equation or expression algebraically.
Print PDF worksheet above, the answers are on the second page.
An algebraic expression is a mathematical expression that will have variables, numbers and operations. The variable will represent the number in an expression or an equation. Answers may vary slightly. Being able to write expressions or equations algebraically is a pre algebra concept that is required prior to taking algebra.
An understanding that a variable is a letter such as x, y or n and it will represent the unknown number.
That an expression is a statement in math that will not contain an equals sign but it can containt numbers, variables and operation signs such as +, - x etc. For example, 3y is an expression.
That an equation is a statement in math that does contain an equals sign.
There should be some familiarity with integers which are whole numbers or whole numbers with a negative sign.
A number times five is one-hundred-twenty, instead of writing n x 5 = 120, you would write 5n = 120, 5n means to multiply a number by 5.
Algebraic expressions are required in the curriculum as early as the 7th grade, however, the foundations to performing the tas occurs in the 6th grade. Thinking algebraically occurs with using language of the unknown and representing the unknown with a letter. When presenting a question like: The difference between a number and 25 is 42. Difference should signify that subtraction is implied and knowing that, the statement would then look like: n - 24 = 42. With practice, it become second nature!
I had a teacher that once said to me, remember the rule of 7 and re-visit. He felt if you performed seven worksheets and re-visited the concept, you could claim that you would be at the point of understanding. So far it seems to have worked.

I thought it was just Puppy Love...! But a year later Scout is still so very excited to see Olivia !
I honestly have never seen a dog so happy to see someone as Scout is to see Olivia, they say dogs have a great judge of character...and Scout loves Olivia and K9 Trekkers, therefore we trust her completely!
~~~ Rick & Barb H.
We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a pet walker. It is so very comforting to know that while we are at work our little dog, Molly, is being visited part way through the day by Olivia. I am sure that Molly looks forward to her walk with this very lovely, kind, dependable young woman. We feel very fortunate to have found her!
~~~ Will & Barbara S.
We have been very satisfied customers of K9 Trekkers for going on five years now.
The reaction of my dogs when Olivia pulls into the driveway says it all. They eagerly get into the van and always come home "dog tired"! Thanks Olivia!
Being a military family we have had to make a couple of moves throughout our dogs lives so far. Finding K9 Trekkers when we moved to Mill Bay has been the best experience for us and our pooches!
Olivia goes the extra mile. She is very flexible with my ever changing work schedule and is always available if I have any concerns or questions about my two crazy dogs. She has accommodated other dogs that have stayed at our house, and has gone above and beyond with a couple behavioural problems we were dealing with regarding one of our dogs.
K9 Trekkers is a company that provides great service and cares.. really cares..about your dogs and you. I have recommended Olivia in the past and will continue to do so for anyone ever looking for a reliable, trustworthy, well trained individual guaranteed to bring your dog/s home happy and tired!
~~~ Amanda & Adam L.
I have entrusted Olivia from K9 Trekkers with my dog Parker for the last 5 years. I cannot say enough times how professional, attentive, and caring of a person she is.
Over the years Parker's needs have changed as he is now a senior dog. Upon her suggestion he was reduced from two days a week to only one. This is just one example of how Olivia is aware of the dogs in her care and puts them first above all else. I love getting the cute pictures or videos of Parker's quirky behaviour that he exhibits on the hikes! Besides Parker's "grandparents" there isn't anyone else I would leave my fur baby with!
Olivia volunteered as a foster home for abuse and neglected adult dogs and puppies.
Her duties included monitoring of health, administration of medications and basic obedience training.
Other responsibilities included adoption screening, attending seminars and training workshops.
Sweet Paws gave Olivia the experience and training in becoming a knowledgeable and accomplished dog walker. During her employment, Erica Mustard, her mentor and trainer introduced her to the world of hiking dogs off leash and the influential impact and importance it carries to keep our canines happy and healthy.
The time spent working with the dogs and employees of Sweet Paws Olivia was educated about off leash etiquette, canine first aid, navigating the North Shore mountains and the importance of recognizing and delegating safe out door excursions.

During the second meeting, the bride to be is presented with a number of potential dress designs, exclusively tailored to her style and personality. The designer and the client then compare and discuss the various options so that the client can make a decision that best suites her preferences and budget.
At this point in the process, the bride-to-be has already picked her favorite design, measurements have been taken, and the making of the dress has begun. In order to ensure that the sketch truly represents what the client envisions as her ideal dress, the designer makes a "first drape" out of recyclable fabric. During the "First Fitting," the bride has an opportunity to try on the drape and determine if any changes need to be made before the real fabric is cut out. This avoids costly and time consuming alterations later in the process. At the end of the "First Fitting," the dress design is finalized and the fabric for the actual garments is selected.
This is a "dress rehearsal" so to speak and a celebration of the finished product. The bride is able to see her complete look before the big day. She can come in full hair and makeup, or our company can hire a makeup artist and/or hairdresser who can work with her on finalizing a look. Since this is meant to be a festive event, the bride can invite friends and family, to share this memorable experience with her. Our team serves cocktails and we all celebrate the end of the journey, in which the dream bridal dress becomes a reality.


Satisfying appetites wasn't all Grace and David Mable had in mind when they opened an eatery in Biltmore Village last fall; customers can also partake in great reads. At Books & Breadboard Café, where breakfast and lunch plates are served simply on bamboo breadboards, more than 3,000 tomes line the shelves.
A chef for more than 30 years, David oversees the menu. The four-inch-thick, veggie-packed Mile High quiche, cinnamon-orange French toast, and huevos rancheros are among the morning offerings you can dig into with a book in hand. For lunch, barbecue pulled-pork, roasted hummus with portobello, and Italian sub sandwiches are served with chips and David's Deco Slaw—a colorful mélange of squash, cabbage, carrots, red peppers, and zucchini.
The bookstore, which harbors book club meetings, poetry readings, and a castle-themed children's area, is Grace's passion. There's a collection by local authors, and the titles cover topics ranging from gardening to personal inspiration. Grace is happy to recommend a book, or you can consult the board for weekly top 10 picks, such as The Paris Wife. Never fret if you don't get to the last chapter before you finish dining: You can add the tale to the check and take it home for dessert.


I had a dream the other night that I, well, did not understand.
A figure rushing through the mist with a flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were tom and dirty as he stood there by my bed.
The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep.
Permits to start a business or to build a place for one!
though you have no voice to say how the money is spent.
Your children must attend a school that does not educate.
And your religious values can't be taught according to the state.
a tax you do not owe to please the IRS.
Your money is no longer made of Silver nor of Gold.
You have taken Satan's number and traded in your name.
so they can tear down churches and seize the family farm.
arrest your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail.
and your daughters visit doctors so their children will not be born.
and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars!
Or don't you have the courage to stand with pride?
And are there no more values for which you will fight to save?
Or do you which your children to live in fear, and be a slave?
Oh Children of the Republic, arise, take a stand.
with God as our shield, because your freedom is right!
people watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
God bless you, and may God bless this Republic.


Cars of the Crossover-kind - family hatchbacks with a dose of SUV-style - are deservedly popular but they tend to be sold by brands with very little 4x4 credibility. Not in this case. Mitsubishi's ASX is a properly developed and very credible alternative to the Nissan Qashqais and Peugeot 3008s you might otherwise picture when considering a car in this segment. Here, we check out the revised version in efficient 1.6-litre DI-D diesel-engined form.
The kind of big, butch 4x4s Mitsubishi is best known for - models like the Shogun and the L200 pick-up - aren't really in vogue at the moment. What's currently setting the automotive world alight are SUVs of a smaller, softer bent. Models that may look like they could rough it up on a mountain track but would really rather take the family to the supermarket. The ASX is Mitsubishi's contribution to this more urbane face of 4x4 motoring, a Crossover model designed around everyday use in the urban rather than the Amazon jungle. 'ASX' stands for 'Active Sporting Crossover', Crossovers being probably the trendiest thing in motoring at the moment - at least if you believe the people who sell them. Nissan's Qashqai started the whole trend for family hatchbacks with added versatility and SUV attitude back in 2007 and it's since been joined by a host of rivals. Peugeot's 3008, Skoda's Yeti and Hyundai's Tucson have all pitched in to a growing market but none of these brands have Mitsubishi's 4x4 credibility - or indeed the clever variable valve diesel technology that aims to set this ASX apart. Let's check out this facelifted version.
What people like about Crossover models is what they'll like about this one. The raised SUV-style driving position and butch looks, combined with an accessible family hatchback-style driving experience. All right, there are Crossovers that handle a little more tautly but the ASX's manners are tidy, plus the ride's impressive and there's plenty of grip. And in this 112bhp 1.6-litre DI-D diesel variant, 'swift' is the operative word. The slick-shifting six-speed manual gearbox helps the ASX sprint to sixty from rest in 11.2s on the way to 114mph and though this certainly isn't the most refined diesel out there, it is one of the most responsive, thanks to a meaty slug of torque that cuts down on gearchanges and makes this a relaxing car to drive. Owners happy to leave the Serengeti to Ranulph Fiennes will be happy with a front-drive ASX, but for those needing to negotiate muddy carparks or snowy driveways, there is the option of a 4WD set-up and in true Mitsubishi style, it's a properly developed one. The system offers full-time front wheel drive for normal tarmac use or, if conditions are rainy or icy, an automatic four-wheel drive option that can send anything up to 50% of the torque to the rear axle if sensors detect wheel slip. Should you venture onto the mucky stuff and be unwise enough to take your ASX somewhere you shouldn't be, the third permanent four-wheel drive option would give you a fighting chance of extricating yourself.
The main change to this updated ASX is its smarter front end, this featuring what Mitsubishi calls a 'Dynamic Shield' visual identity that brings it in line with other models in the company's range like the Outlander. This look is supposed to symbolise functionality and reassuring safety with bold chromed streaks sitting either side of the grille, shielding the three diamond brand logo. Otherwise, not too much has changed. The ASX was always a fairly handsome thing and the styling updates added to this car in recent times preserve that basic feel while sharpening up some of the detailing. The interior has also been slightly updated, with revised seat cushions and smarter upholstery. The dash layout remains fairly unadventurous in its design, with a proliferation of dark plastics lightly peppered with metallic detailing, but the bright LCD display between the two main dials is useful, the soft-touch finish of the fascia is nice, the controls are refreshingly simple and you certainly aren't overwhelmed by too many buttons. Rear passengers have a good amount of legroom and headroom but there are no individual sliding seats, as found in some rivals. Fold the 60/40 split bench and you free up to 1193-litres of boot space. A capacity of 442-litres with the seats in place isn't the best in class but will probably be sufficient for most owners. Plus there are plenty of storage areas around the cabin, including a tray under the boot floor that can hold an extra 30-litres.
Mitsubishi know that its pricing here will have to be tight. Expect to pay somewhere around £20,500 for this 1.6 Di-D model, around £4,000 less than the (admittedly better specified) 4WD version. Either way, you're looking at a comparable model-for-model saving of quite a lot over a Nissan Qashqai or comparable Peugeot 3008. As for other Crossover sector rivals, well, cars like Skoda's Yeti and Hyundai's Tucson look good value but offer you less performance: you'll have to decide on your priorities. All models come decently equipped, with alloy wheels, air conditioning, a CD stereo with MP3 compatibility and stop-start technology. Safetywise, this car achieved a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating thanks to the provision of seven airbags, anti-whiplash front head restraints, Brake Assist, plus traction and stability control.
Originally, the ASX had a 1.8-litre engine in its volume diesel form but in 2015, Mtsubishi replaced that unit with the 1.6litre DI-D powerplant we've been looking at here. That's certainly improved efficiency, with this variant now capable of 61.4mpg on the combined cycle and 119g/km of CO2 in front-driven guise. Bear in mind though, that if you opt for this model with 4WD, those figures fall to 56.5mpg and 132g/km. Lower mileage drivers might prefer to stick to the affordable 1.6-litre petrol engine and this will also return decent economy as long as you're not heaving some serious weight about with it. Here you're looking at 135g/km, which is barely any worse than the diesels, and a combined economy figure of 48.7mpg. For around £16,000, this suddenly seems quite the bargain. Whichever engine you choose, a shift indicator on the dash should help you get somewhere near to those figures in regular day-to-day motoring. Servicing costs aren't quite so impressive, as this car needs workshop visits every 12,500 miles or 12 months.
Mitsubishi sells SUV-style vehicles designed to make life easier, whether the need is for a Shogun to plough through the sand of the Serengetti or, as in this case, a more affordable ASX to deal with the aggravation of a trip to Asda. In these cash-strapped times, there'll be no prizes for guessing which of the two approaches is likely to prove most popular. Vehicles like this one really do offer a tempting alternative to the ordinary family hatchbacks and superminis that everyone else drives. The question though, is whether in buying a 4x4-style Crossover car of this kind, you really need to buy into a brand that actually knows something about 4x4 motoring. Mitsubishi of course, will argue that you do. This ASX can offer those who agree more than just vague associations of SUV brand equity. It does, after all, boast one of the more innovative and efficient diesel engines in its class and arguably delivers a very strong value proposition too. It is then, a car that buyers in this sector and opposition brands will need to take very seriously indeed.

CEA, Other Educators Join Chris Murphy in Saying No to Arming Teachers
by Lesia Winiarskyj on September 7, 2018
CEA Vice President Tom Nicholas (at the podium) joins U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (right) in calling on Betsy DeVos to abandon plans for allowing federal dollars to arm teachers.
CEA joined U.S. Senator Chris Murphy and other Connecticut leaders in education at a news conference calling on Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to abandon plans that would allow the use of federal funds to arm teachers.
Murphy, a member of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, stressed that arming teachers is not a solution to classroom safety issues and urged DeVos to testify before the HELP Committee on the issue.
"Congress has made its intent clear," said Murphy, describing bipartisan consensus that federal funds should not be used to arm teachers.
Dangerous proposal
Citing recent incidents of teachers' and school safety resource officers' guns accidentally being discharged by adults and children in schools, Murphy said, "This is a very dangerous proposal coming down from Betsy DeVos," adding that it would jeopardize students and make schools less safe—while making gun manufacturing more profitable.
"The data is clear: 75 to 85 percent of teachers surveyed said teachers should not be armed, and we should be listening to teachers," Murphy said.
Citing surveys showing that 75-85 percent of teachers believe educators should not be armed, Sen. Chris Murphy said, "We should be listening to teachers."
Speaking on behalf of Connecticut's largest teachers union, CEA Vice President Tom Nicholas, a 30-year Manchester educator and school social worker, agreed.
"I know Connecticut teachers, and they are vehemently opposed to guns in our schools.
Parents, teachers, and community leaders know that guns do not improve student performance, provide students or parents a sense of security, or positively impact classroom teaching and learning.
"Our students and our schools are in need of so many basic necessities, such as books, technology, guidance counselors, and school social workers, and that is where our resources should be spent. Traditionally, families and community groups provided children with stability, guidance, and a sense of belonging. Now, our teachers are being asked to shoulder more and more of this responsibility. Our certification and training is in education, not sharpshooting. It is preposterous to ask educators to holster weapons instead of workbooks."
Nicholas referenced Connecticut's passage of historic laws on guns, mental health, and school safety in the aftermath of Sandy Hook—initiatives that have put the state at the forefront of protecting students, schools, teachers, and communities.
"Secretary DeVos, violence begets violence," he noted. "I say not one more Columbine, not one more Sandy Hook, not one more Parkland. Give us more guidance counselors, more social workers, and more therapists and trauma specialists in every school to combat adverse experiences that bring children to a place of desperation. Our students, our teachers, our families, and our communities can't wait any longer."
Echoing those recommendations was Patrice McCarthy, deputy director and general counsel at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, who called for more mental health professionals and a school culture that supports the needs of all students so that they can benefit from their education and lead healthy lives.
Also speaking at the press conference in opposition to arming teachers were Connecticut Education Commissioner Dianna Wentzell; Dave Cicarella, president of the New Haven Federation of Teachers; and Fran Rabinowitz, executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents.
"Schools should not be turned into barracks or fortresses," Wentzell remarked, saying that would have a profoundly negative impact and would erode school climate. "Our teachers did not sign up for this."
Cicarella pointed out that arming teachers also sends the wrong message to students: that the answer to gun violence is more guns.
Rabinowitz called the arming of teachers "an insane approach" and pressed DeVos to fund "sane, evidence-based programs" to ensure the health and well-being of all students. To do otherwise, she said, makes the U.S. secretary of education "completely clueless."

Maurice to join Arrowfield's roster in 2017
Arrowfield Stud is delighted to confirm that Sunday evening's brilliant LONGINES Hong Kong Cup 2000m G1 winner Maurice will shuttle to Arrowfield from the 2017 southern hemisphere breeding season.
The five-year-old sealed his magnificent career with a dominant, three-length victory in 2:00.95, defeating Secret Weapon and Japanese-breds Staphanos & Lovely Day.
Arrowfield's Chairman John Messara said after the race, "Everything that Maurice will bring to Australian breeding was on display tonight, an arresting physique and formidable speed, a great competitive spirit and so much class.
"We congratulate Kazumi and Katsumi Yoshida on another major international victory for Japan and look forward to adding new successes to our long-standing relationship with the Yoshida family."
Hong Kong racecaller Brett Davis described Maurice after the race, "An absolute champion, Maurice has taken Sha Tin by storm, three starts, three wins, he's too big, too strong, too good, what an outstanding horse." Maurice's six Group 1 wins also include the 2015 Hong Kong Mile G1 and the Hong Kong Champions Mile G1 earlier this year.
Winning rider Ryan Moore, recently crowned LONGINES World's Best Jockey for the second time, said, "There was a good pace to the race, and going down the backstretch I thought things were going well, it was just a question of finding a way through.
"When I asked him, he picked up, and really he got to the front almost too soon. He was a special horse at a mile, and at ten furlongs he's even better. He has improved every time I have ridden him.
"Fortunately there was good pace in the race and halfway down the back I thought it was sitting up nicely for him and it was just a matter of finding the room. As soon as he got room and I put him into gear he just let down exceptionally well."
Maurice (Screen Hero-Mejiro Frances by Carnegie) will stand at Arrowfield alongside champion sire Redoute's Choice, his sons Snitzel & Not A Single Doubt, and another Shadai stallion, dual Group 1 winner Real Impact, bred and raced by Katsumi Yoshida.
Maurice retires after 18 starts with a record of 11 wins, six at Group 1 level over 1600 and 2000 metres, and more than $12 million prizemoney. He currently sits inside the top 10 on the LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings with a figure of 124.
Maurice was named Japan's 2015 Horse of the Year, Champion Sprinter & Champion Miler and is surely in line for further honours after three Group 1 successes in 2016, two at Sha Tin and last month's Tokyo Tenno Sho.
Japanese-owned horses have now won 12 Hong Kong International Races, with their versatility more evident as home-breds have begun to dominate their representation. The winners of the last two Cups (Maurice & A Shin Hikari), this year's Vase (Satono Crown), last year's Mile (Maurice) and the 2012 & 2013 Sprints (Lord Kanaloa) were all bred in Japan.

FeaturedPittsburgh Penguins
Staal Good in Pittsburgh?
Sofia Rizzo Follow on Twitter May 15, 2012
With the Penguins' early exit from postseason action, trade rumors, speculation, and gossip are more prevalent than ever. The club's architect Ray Shero has remained silent on the matter, offering no solace for fans of Jordan Staal. Staal, a twenty-three year old center, has performed well for the club and consequently has peaked interest around the league. He plays with focus, intensity, and maturity, relishing in high stakes situations where he can shoulder a great deal of responsibility. Despite a season riddled with injuries, Staal netted twenty-five goals this season and was the most offensively productive player for the Penguins during their short stint in the playoffs. Staal recorded average of 20:03 minutes of ice time per game in the regular season, second only to Malkin with 21:01. He earned fifty points in sixty-two games, five on the power-play and three on the penalty kill. The keys to his game lie in the power-play and faceoffs—two areas that would attract teams seeking a young top-six forward.
With captain Sidney Crosby and Russian powerhouse Evgeni Malkin healthy, Staal is regulated to the third line where his ice time—and consequently his contributions in general—are limited. It is no secret that Staal augmented the Penguins' power play when the club's stars were sidelined. However, a healthy roster translates into a curbing of Staal's power-play time. This only adds salt to the wound, since an opportunity to play on the power-play is what most players crave.
But Shero's dilemma does not pertain to Staal's on ice capability. His primary concern is to resign Crosby and Malkin—two long term investments that will continue to pay dividends. As per Crosby's comments on getaway day, donning the black and Vegas gold uniform is a no-brainer. From Shero's perspective, this task is simple—communicate with the player, understand his terms, and ultimately agree to them. Even if he dresses for a fraction of the eighty-two game season, Crosby is a sound investment from all angles. The same is true for Malkin.
Staal, Malkin, and defenseman Kris Letang all signed entry-level contracts with the Penguins. This means each contract is worth relatively very little in the grand scheme of things. Now these same players, with the addition of Crosby and Staal, are experienced and contribute in key ways to the organization. Because of this, they are each worth a pretty penny—something that Shero is aware of. His task is to re-sign the most crucial pieces of his roster while maintaining some wiggle room.
Resigning all three centers puts stress on the Penguins' bank. Staal can command, and is deserving of, a pay raise however what remains to be seen is if and how the Penguins' can manage such a feat. Of course, this option becomes feasible if, under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the salary cap ceiling is raised. It currently sits at $64.3 million but can rise to $69 million, as Philadelphia GM Paul Holmgren expects. The uncertainty throws a monkey wrench into Shero's plans. The salary cap can go either way, there has been no official word if it will increase or decrease or by how much. With the probability of all three centers asking for pay raises, Shero and the Penguins will be very close to a maximum, whatever that may be. The Penguins are finically committed already to James Neal, Marc Andre Fleury, Zbynek Michalek, and others. This is yet another concern for Shero. Even if the salary cap increases, expect it to be a modest one.
Despite this, Shero will not let Staal slip through the cracks. Ideally for the Penguins, the goal is to maintain the three-center model they championed during the tail end of the regular season and into the playoffs. The major factor here is if the price is right.
Two teams make sense for Staal if he chooses to explore his options as an unrestricted free agent next summer. Brian Burke and the Toronto Maple Leafs are seeking a goal scorer and playing partner for Phil Kessel. Burke hasn't expressed interest in Staal in particular, but has said he enjoys the Penguins' style. Recall Burke also pursued Max Talbot, a product of the Penguins' development system with both the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Perhaps a second chance at a Penguin will pay off for the Maple Leafs. The Carolina Hurricanes are another logical choice since brother Eric captains the team. With Jordan getting married this summer, he may want to move closer to family.
If Staal and the Penguins cannot agree, Shero could open Staal to the market for a trade, potentially strengthening the defense. As the playoffs have evidenced, the Penguins are deft offensively while their defense is streaky and at times ineffective.
Stay tuned Penguins fans, things could heat up very quickly.

Three Men Charged With Murder for Fatal Shooting Outside Ridgewood Recording Studio: NYPD
(Photo: Bill Oxford via Unsplash)
Oct. 19, 2022 By Max Murray
The police have arrested and charged three men with murder for a gang-related shooting that took place outside a Ridgewood recording studio in June.
Savion Johnson, 19, and Warren Burgess, 33, of Brooklyn, and Omar Gaines, 19, of the Bronx, were busted Tuesday in connection with the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old man outside Rockwall Studios, located at 1080 Wyckoff Ave., at 1:15 a.m. on June 6.
The three men were part of a crew involved in the shooting, according to authorities. Alutheimeen Imaduddeen, 21, of Brooklyn, was charged with murder pertaining to the case on June 25.
The victim, Tyda Darden, 21, of Brooklyn, was fatally shot in the head in front of the recording studio, according to police. It isn't clear what led to the shooting.
All four men have been charged with murder, assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon.


Clem-E T Profane spent a few long years being 'Famine' from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse till he had enough of the diet and picked up a bass. Since then he has been spreading terror across the plains, and the Lonesomes have only managed to keep him playing with 'em by some extra-special native ju-ju.
Now he's hungry again, beware!


End of Radiation and On With Life!
Wow, what a year 2017 has been. It definitely had its high and low points, but the good thing is that it is ending on the up side.
We returned to Green Valley then home to Portland in mid April when the whirlwind started. An MRI showed that I had several tumors in the breast on the other side, which the 3-D Mammogram did not show. So, on May 10 I had a double mastectomy. My cancer type was Estrogen Responsive Positive (ER+) and the Oncotype DX test showed that I would benefit from Chemo. I started the four sessions of chemo on June 28 and the last session was on August 31. I managed the side effects, which you can read about in previous posts.
In October 13 I started radiation treatments. They were daily for 28 sessions, ending on November 20. (My November 4 Post tells the details of the sessions.) There were a couple of side effects. One was fatigue. Since I was already back to working out at Curves three days a week and walking three days, I found the fatigue minimal. The other effect was like a "sun burn." I managed to keep that to a minimum by using two gels: Aloe Vera 99% and Calendula three times a day. After the last treatment I was given a prescription for 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream which is used on burns. I applied it thickly twice a day. Dr. Gannett, my radiation oncologist was always pleased with how well I was doing. I saw him on December 18, one month after my last treatment, and should not have to see him again.
Meanwhile, on November 29 I met again with Dr. Acheson, my medical oncologist. She was pleased with how well I am doing. We had a discussion about what comes next. My type of breast cancer is Estrogen Responsive Positive (ER+.) This means it feeds on estrogen. Believe it or not, our bodies continue to produce estrogen after menopause, so it is important to shut down all of it. Therefore, there are various medications that are recommended to reduce the risk of the cancer re-occurrence. Since I do not have a bone density problem, I qualify for the class of drugs called Aromatase Inhibitors (AI.) Dr Acheson is starting me with Letrozole. It is important to be able to take one of these for at least five years. If I tolerate this one, great, if not there are two other AI drugs to try. I started December 1, and so far so good.
Then there is my hair. It has now grown out to about an inch long. I can tell there will be some curl, at least for a while. It will be some weeks before I stop wearing something, hat, scarf or wig, because I'm cold otherwise.
Then there is my heart issue: totally unrelated to my cancer. I continued to have occasional AFib episodes. I had a 48 hour Holter Monitor test which showed no pauses over 2 seconds. I also had an echo stress test (with treadmill) which shows my heart muscle is healthy. All Good News!!! Since I'm on the blood thinner Eliquis I don't have to worry about blood clots and strokes, so until my AFib episodes get to be too frequent or of concern, I don't need to have anything done about them. It is good that I have two cardiologists looking after me.
About the time I started chemo I learned about the Breast Cancer Support Group sponsored by Providence St. Vincent, which meets twice a month. I have attended all but one session since then, and find them very helpful. I have been able to learn from others going through what I have, am or will go through. The women who run the sessions are also very helpful, and I plan to continue attending when I can.
So, this ends the year 2017, and I'm so thankful that I have made it through all of these annoyances and blips to my health. I'm looking forward to the new year and getting back to "normal." We look forward to returning to Green Valley, AZ for the winter where I have twelve classes already scheduled for me to teach at the Camera Club.
I will post again in the future every once in a while to chronicle any changes, or to just let you know I'm doing fine. You can also check back periodically to see photos of our travels. That was the original purpose of my website, since travel and photography are my special interests.
Until then, thanks for reading about my breast cancer journey. I hope it has been informative.
May we all have a Happy New Year!
Melanie and I attended a University of Oregon Game in Eugene. Felt like going!!!
We were trying out the "Portrait" mode with stage lighting on my new iPhone X.
Paul and I enjoyed Christmas Day with Paul's cousins.

REVIEW OF EP ((O))
They start somewhere in the West flavoured with 100% proof Americana spirit and then they drift off into space. They mix dollops of ambience (a la Eno) with more prosaic things. 'A Door' seems to have Leonard Cohen on a solo space walk - Houston we have progress.
'Sunshine' shimmers in a sea of solar energy much like the Danny Boyle film of the same name, cosmic keyboard winds buffeting a simple guitar melody that drifts blissfully to destruction. Other heavenly bodies are present on 'Sun and Moon' and here orbiting space junk emits an orchestra of squelches and glitches over an earthbound melody. If you want to think of early Calexico records re-imagined by Wall-E then you might get somewhere close to where these two Colorado based vaquero's are coming from. The music exists partially obscured by melting mirages that add a skein of mystery over a firm base of Americana. In a word, intriguing.

WOW, OVERWHELMED, BRAINWASHED reviews EP((O))...
--"Every piece seems like it has a warm, shimmering halo of synth bliss around it, which provides a very effective soft-focus counterbalance to Sampson's gritty heartbreak."
--"Sampson is anything but mopey. In fact, he's a very charismatic, powerful, and articulate vocalist. He's a damn good songwriter too, as each of the eight pieces here is simple, direct, and memorably hooky."
--"It is highly improbable that this band will be able to remain a secret if this EP gets heard."
--"I like this a lot." Anthony D'Amico BRAINWASHED.com

Truly honored and overwhelmed to hear Tyler Potts and Roger Green do a cover of "Ears Burn" by Wentworth Kersey yesterday at the UMS. Both these artists have influenced my career/sound perhaps more than anyone else in Denver. Check out their touching performance below.

Driver Who Went Off Cliff Faces Attempted Murder Charges
UTexas Students Can Soon Bring Guns to Class
School prez says state law is forcing his hand
By Arden Dier, Newser Staff

At the University of Texas, handguns could soon become commonplace. Once a new state law takes effect on Aug. 1, University President Gregory Fenves says he'll be forced to allow licensed concealed handgun holders 21 and older to bring guns into classrooms. State leaders passed the "campus carry" law last year, with Gov. Greg Abbott noting a licensed carrier could confront a potential shooter and prevent mass death; public universities must comply, though private universities can opt out. Fenves, however, is not on board. "I do not believe handguns belong on a university campus, so this decision has been the greatest challenge of my presidency," he says, per Reuters. The university will enforce gun-free zones in areas like most dorm rooms, but guns will be permitted in classrooms.
The school expects fewer than 1% of its 50,000 students will be eligible to carry a concealed weapon, which must be kept unloaded in a holster that protects the trigger, per WTVR and the Washington Post. But objections have still been plentiful. Fenves says he's heard from outraged students, parents, and professors who fear discussing grades with armed students; at least 280 professors signed a petition condemning the law in October. "As a professor, I understand the deep concerns raised by so many. However, as president, I have an obligation to uphold the law," Fenves says. Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Utah, Wisconsin, and Oregon, also allow students to carry concealed handguns on campuses. Texas' "campus carry" law will take effect on the 50th anniversary of a mass shooting at the University of Texas at Austin, when a student shot and killed 16 people from the school's clock tower. (Some plan to carry dildos, not guns.)
