Our Souls At Night by Kent Haruf
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A spare yet eloquent, bittersweet yet inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the imminent future. In the familiar setting of Holt, Colorado, home to all of Kent Haruf's inimitable fiction, Addie Moore pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters. Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they naturally have known of each other for decades; in fact, Addie was quite fond of Louis's wife. His daughter lives hours away, her son even farther, and Addie and Louis have long been living alone in empty houses, the nights so terribly lonely, especially with no one to talk with. But maybe that could change? As Addie and Louis come to know each other better--their pleasures and their difficulties--a beautiful story of second chances unfolds, making Our Souls at Night the perfect final installment to this beloved writer's enduring contribution to American literature.

Haruf's final novel is a beacon of hope; he is sorely missed" Financial Times
Publisher : Pan Macmillan

One of The Best Books of The Year: Chicago Tribune, Entertainment Weekly, The Plain Dealer, and Rocky Mountain News Kent Haruf, award-winning, bestselling author of Plainsong returns to the high-plains town of Holt, Colorado, with a novel of masterful authority. The aging McPheron brothers are learning to live without Victoria Roubideaux, the single mother they took in and who has now left their ranch to start college.

We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix
Publisher : Quirk Books
"A gloriously over-the-top scare fest that has hidden depths. Readers will root for Kris all the way to the explosive, poignant finale."—Publishers Weekly From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. Only a girl with a guitar can save us all. Every morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity. Now Kris works as night manager of a Best Western; she's tired, broke, and unhappy. Then one day everything changes—a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band. Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. Her journey will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a satanic music festival. A spine-tingling horror novel, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, pill-popping, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul.
Plainsong by Kent Haruf
National Book Award Finalist A heartstrong story of family and romance, tribulation and tenacity, set on the High Plains east of Denver. In the small town of Holt, Colorado, a high school teacher is confronted with raising his two boys alone after their mother retreats first to the bedroom, then altogether. A teenage girl—her father long since disappeared, her mother unwilling to have her in the house—is pregnant, alone herself, with nowhere to go. And out in the country, two brothers, elderly bachelors, work the family homestead, the only world they've ever known. From these unsettled lives emerges a vision of life, and of the town and landscape that bind them together—their fates somehow overcoming the powerful circumstances of place and station, their confusion, curiosity, dignity and humor intact and resonant. As the milieu widens to embrace fully four generations, Kent Haruf displays an emotional and aesthetic authority to rival the past masters of a classic American tradition.
The Tie That Binds by Kent Haruf
From the bestselling author of Eventide, The Tie That Binds is a powerfully eloquent tribute to the arduous demands of rural America, and of the tenacity of the human spirit. Colorado, January 1977. Eighty-year-old Edith Goodnough lies in a hospital bed, IV taped to the back of her hand, police officer at her door. She is charged with murder. The clues: a sack of chicken feed slit with a knife, a milky-eyed dog tied outdoors one cold afternoon. The motives: the brutal business of farming and a family code of ethics as unforgiving as the winter prairie itself. Here, Kent Haruf delivers the sweeping tale of a woman of the American High Plains, as told by her neighbor, Sanders Roscoe. As Roscoe shares what he knows, Edith's tragedies unfold: a childhood of pre-dawn chores, a mother's death, a violence that leaves a father dependent on his children, forever enraged. Here is the story of a woman who sacrifices her happiness in the name of family--and then, in one gesture, reclaims her freedom.
A spare yet eloquent, bittersweet yet inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the imminent future. In the familiar setting of Holt, Colorado, home to all of Kent Haruf's inimitable fiction, Addie Moore pays an unexpected visit to a neighbor, Louis Waters. Her husband died years ago, as did his wife, and in such a small town they naturally have known of each other for decades; in fact, Addie was quite fond of Louis's wife. His daughter lives hours away in Colorado Springs, her son even farther away in Grand Junction, and Addie and Louis have long been living alone in houses now empty of family, the nights so terribly lonely, especially with no one to talk with. Their brave adventures—their pleasures and their difficulties—are hugely involving and truly resonant, making Our Souls at Night the perfect final installment to this beloved writer's enduring contribution to American literature.

Category : Religion
"In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God." —St. John of the Cross Why does God allow us to fall into this empty void? Does He not love us? Will He not help us? How do we deal with feeling abandoned in hopeless darkness? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? In sixteenth-century Spain, a poor monk became a spiritual giant. His life was devoted to prayer, poverty, solitude, and silence in pursuit of the beauty and goodness of God. When his intimacy with Jesus led to imprisonment, John used the time to compose a spiritual masterpiece in which he takes readers on a deeply spiritual journey through hardships and temptations to complete union with God. In a step-by-step process, he shows how God can use this "dark night" to eventually bring our human spirits into greater illumination, revealing heavenly wisdom and the passion of divine love. It is possible to walk securely through the darkness and experience the wonderful effects that are wrought in the believer as a result of the dark night.

Q: How to hide my menu for non authenticated users? I have authenticated users to log on my system using this code:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(user, false);

I want to hide my system menu for non authenticated users. Something like this:
<% if(???) {%>
   <ul id="menu>
      ...
   </ul>
<% } %>

How can I do this?
Thank you.

A: if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
There's an example of this in the login user control of the basic mvc project.
if you want roles then
if (HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("myrole"))

A: if (Request.IsAuthenticated)

(This is how it's done in the default ASP.NET MVC template)

A: I think you want to use:
<% if(this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { %>
<% } %>

A: I use:
<% if( HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated ) %>

or
<% if( HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsInRole("roleName") ) %>

but the other answers look like they'd also work fine.

The Black Lens, an African-American newspaper, was denied media credentials to cover Donald Trump's Spokane campaign stop.
The Black Lens is published monthly and has a circulation of 1,000. Williams and a photographer are the publication's only staff members.
There are many agendas that I have heard they have been doing all about the Donald Trump. He sure seems to be the rightful person to bring the good change in the history of America.
I think that trump has taken the right decision because he has been doing all this for the sake of this country. It is the real idea through which we are able to see change in this country.
Newspaper is an old and basic source of information from all over the country and world, it keep aware people from current affairs. This article is about an African and American website https://bestaustralianwriters.com/australianwritings-com-review/ newspaper that is working so well to serve their nation.

ST. LOUIS (KPLR) – A vigil was held Saturday night for a 6-year-old boy killed in a rolling gun battle earlier this week. Marcus Johnson was riding in a minivan full of children and adults that had just left O'Fallon Park Wednesday night. Police say a car pulled up alongside the vehicle on west Florissant and someone inside opened fire.
Marcus was recovering from a heart procedure he had undergone a week earlier.
At this point, police have no suspects.


You should always be conscious with log home maintenance to prolong the life and beauty of your home. Just like any other dwelling, it requires a significant amount of upkeep and care. Aside from providing you and your loved ones with a beautiful home, you will also be helping keep its value, should you think of selling it in the future. Log homes are lovely to look at, but preserving that charming, rustic look may take some time and money. If you shower your home with loving care, it will also remain to be an extremely comfortable shelter for you.
For most home owners, they choose to build a log home because of the wonderful, welcoming, cozy feel that it projects. When you see a beautifully constructed log home, you immediately picture warm, comfortable nights by the fireplace, extremely inviting living areas, restful-looking bedrooms, and homey kitchens. You can picture a delightful country style feel that makes one immediately feel at home. You just want to kick off your shoes and sink into the plush-looking sofa surrounded by soft, attractive rugs. It has a classic appeal that withstands any change in trends. It is not too old-fashioned that it seems left behind by the current times. It is neither too modern that it looks too intimidating and unfamiliar to some people.
When performing log home maintenance chores, remember to wear gloves when needed and to wear work clothes. You do not want your regular clothes bearing witness to all the home repair that you will be doing. Since your home will obviously be exposed to all sorts of weather conditions, it has to be treated with a special log stain. This is similar to the sunblock that you apply to your skin. To check whether your stain is still working, try spraying some of the logs with water. If the moisture beads up and rolls off easily, your stain is still effective. Regarding the type of stain you will use, some experts recommend oil-based stains as compared to water-based stains. It lasts longer, about five to seven years, while water-based stains may need to be reapplied after three to five years. It is also easier to handle because water-based stains tend to be too runny.
About twice a year, conduct a visual appraisal of the exterior of your home. If you spot any dark spots caused by rain splatters, you may use a water and bleach solution to gently brush it off. Allow the treated areas to dry before you stain them. You should also watch out for cracks that might get bigger, letting in water, the cold air, or even bugs. You can use caulk specially formulated for logs to seal off any cracks.

Today is the 8th anniversary of my most popular post, Veri-Green is not Veri-Good -or- more evidence that I am the most boring person ever. As of *right this second* this blog has been viewed solely on the merit of that one single post about green beans over 1,800 times. 1,821 people needed to know more about Kroger's Veri-Green Beans. You understand what this means, right?
No color correction for the actual bean photos.
The beans are pretty much identical as they were 8 years ago, down to the smell. Again, I didn't taste them so maybe they taste the same, maybe they taste like unicorn farts, who knows. Arsenic is also undetectable in taste and smell as well so whatever.
I also upgraded from the counter to the kitchen table for pictures.
One thing that I noticed was different now is that the regular cut green beans are in a can labeled as having a non-BPA liner but the beans treated with zinc chloride has no such label.
remember when we didn't care at all about BPA?
The can on the left is the non-BPA lined can; the one on the right is the zinc chloride bean can which I assume is teeming with literally all the BPA you can shake a stick at. Is there a scientific reason for the different type of can? If it was in fact a non-BPA lined can, I'm sure it would be labeled as such the same way that marketers want to label everything they can as 'gluten free'.
The cans do look different but that could totally be the lighting.
1.) I'm super lazy. There is no disputing this.
2.) Zinc chloride can sound super scary for dummies like me when in the context of a Wikipedia article but in truth is used in a ton of applications.
3.) Even Tom's of Maine uses zinc chloride and people love them and offer up their first born children unto them so who am I to argue.
Essentially, is it poison? Not in the amounts used. Does it sound gross? Yes. Is it necessary? No. In the same way vaccines sound scary when you break down the individual components, no one wants to see that on the list of ingredients when in reality, green beans, water, and sometimes salt are all you should reasonably expect on the ingredients list of a can of green beans. If you're desperate for brighter green beans without zinc chloride, then go with fresh or frozen as a hugely more expensive alternative. Regular cut green beans in a can are cheaper than treated, and as we all know, it comes out the same in the end so just eat what you want as long as you know what it is. This concludes my TED talk.

I have several SOAP web-services all running at a particular domain which is SSL protected. I can see the WSDL file (https://<apigeeurl>/<path>/myfile.asmx?wsdl≈ikey=<my-user-key>) but when I try and make a SOAP request to https:////myfile.asmx?apikey=,>/<path>/myfile.asmx?apikey=<my-user-key>, the request hits my server but requests the wrong method (myfile.asmx has multiple methods, the first one is "hit" despite the correct method being specified within the SOAP request) and thus an invalid response is returned.
Adding some debug information to my web service, I can see that none of my parameters within the SOAP request are actually making it to the web service which leads me to the conclusion that the request body is being removed by the Apigee service. The annoying thing is that the web-service hasn't changed since we used to use Apigee at the end of 2013 but we no longer have the original API/products/etc set-up in Apigee.
Can anyone provide instructions on how to correctly set up an API in Apigee for complete pass-through so that all Apigee does is check for a valid apikey and in the case of a WSDL file, replace some endpoint URLs?
There's actually quite a bit that Edge does to make this happen, and that topic talks about how to create a passthrough proxy from scratch. If you're not wanting to create new passthrough proxies, maybe you can try one out and see exactly what Edge is doing. Might help you troubleshoot your existing proxies.

I look forward to leaning on her insight and invaluable experience as we navigate the rapidly evolving world of direct-to-consumer sales and marketing."

As always, trying to get information on traveling like a local from locals was like pulling teeth. For those who managed to actually get on a local bus they had to face super inflated prices, dangers and the occasional incident with police.
Fortunately, for once we weren't trying to travel like locals, as we only had 18 days to see the entire country and couldn't waste the time. So, for $34 per person, we bought the open bus ticket that let us get on and off at six different destinations while traveling the 1000+ mile stretch between Ho Chi Min (Saigon) in the south and Hanoi in the north.
Buses ranged in duration from a few hours to overnight. They could be nice comfy AC ones just as easily as a teeny minibuses that crammed people, bags and even a motorbike into the seating area. The worst ride we had was an overnight one where we were in the front row behind the driver. There was no leg room and I was forced to rest my feet on either a fire extinguisher or the driver's toothbrush holder all night.
When I did manage to fall asleep, I was woken up every few minutes by the sound of a horn: either ours or that of another driver. When I would open my eyes for a second I usually saw the bright headlights of oncoming traffic heading right at us from the driver's window. I guess passing cars when he didn't have enough time or space to do so and driving in the shoulder of the wrong lane was how he stayed awake all night.
On another sleeper bus, the seats in front of us reclined so far that the only position I could sleep in was with my body completely straight, bracing myself against the wheel hump on the floor in front of me. At one point it was so uncomfortable that I took my blanket and slept on the floor for the rest of the night.
Buses aside, the other transportation method we used was the cyclo.
Propelled by a Vietnamese man on a bicycle, it is a variation of your classic bike rickshaw.
The seats are big enough for one person to fit comfortably, though locals often cram whole families onto one cyclo. As for us, we managed to both get into one only once.
The other times they told us we were too big and had to take two. Really, they just wanted more money.


Recently I was lucky enough to do a photoshoot with the incredible Shannon Swift Photography. I'm a photographer, so usually I'm on the other side of the camera, so this was a whole new experience for me! The lovely folks at River Island were kind enough to let me borrow some of their plus size range to use in the styling. It was the first time I had tried out any of their range and I was really impressed.
The top and the denim jacket are both from River Island, the skirt, sunglasses and boots are from my own wardrobe. I wasn't sure what the sizing was like so I sized up just in case, but you absolutely don't need to. The range is very true to size so these ended up being oversized on me. The top is sadly now out of stock, but it was a stunning purple glittery see through mesh that I popped a black vest top and a harness bra under to add more detail. It looked so damn cool shining in the sun light!
However the real stand out piece that I fell completely in love with is the light blue slogan print denim jacket. It is sassy and wonderful and I need to add it to my wardrobe. It retails for £55 and the slogan on the back is actually painted on, so I would say this is definitely a hand-wash only sort of jacket! It is a little pricier than the average denim jacket but because of this painted detail and the superb quality, in my opinion I would say it is well worth the extra pennies.
This jacket worked really well sized up if you like a more oversized fit, it felt very rock and roll and quite masculine that I think fit this outfit really well. In your normal size this would be more tailored and so it really depends on how you like your jackets to fit. I love a pale denim wash and this is a beaut. I'm not a huge fan of slogan t shirts, but I love a good back print on a jacket and this is so feisty and fun.
Have you tried River Island's plus size range yet? They currently stock up to a size 28, so here's hoping they continue to expand their size range to be fully inclusive!
Thanks River Island for helping with the styling!

Maersk Air Cargo (ehemals Star Air) ist eine dänische Frachtfluggesellschaft mit Sitz in Dragør und Basis auf dem Flughafen Kopenhagen-Kastrup. Sie ist eine Tochtergesellschaft des Logistikkonzerns A. P. Møller-Mærsk.

Geschichte

Die Gesellschaft wurde am 1. September 1987 von der A. P. Møller Line gegründet, die einen Hangar und Teile der Organisation der Alk-Air übernahm und drei Fokker F27-600 leaste. Von Anfang an erbrachte Star Air Transportdienstleistungen für Unternehmen und für andere Fluglinien, die Flugzeuge mit Besatzung für Fracht- und Passagierflüge charterten. Bald wandte sich die Fluglinie größeren, an der Abwicklung von Luftfracht orientierten Unternehmen wie TNT Express, FedEx und UPS zu. Einige Jahre lang flog Star Air ausschließlich mit den als Frachtmaschinen umgebauten Fokker F-27. Ein eigenes Frachtnetz baute das Unternehmen nicht auf, vielmehr konzentrierte man sich auf die Vermarktung von Frachtkapazität.

Im Jahre 1993 ließen sich Charterflüge mit F-27 Frachtflugzeugen nur noch schwer vermarkten, sodass man einen Rückbau dieser Flotte beschloss. Die operativen und administrativen Bereiche des Unternehmens wurden schließlich von Maersk Air übernommen. Star Air nahm in Folge auch Passagierflüge wieder auf. Zur gleichen Zeit strebte das US-Unternehmen UPS die Kooperation mit einer europäischen Frachtfluggesellschaft an, um seine Flugrechte innerhalb der Europäischen Union zu erweitern. Den Zuschlag unter den Bewerbern erhielt zunächst nicht Star Air, sondern die dänische Sterling Airlines, die allerdings kurz vor Zustandekommen der Kooperation mit UPS Insolvenz anmeldete. So kam schließlich Star Air zum Zuge, die mit von UPS geleasten Flugzeugen den europäischen Flugverkehr für das US-Unternehmen aufnahm. Am 22. Oktober 1993 schloss Star Air mit UPS einen Vertrag über den Betrieb von zunächst zwei Boeing 727 ab, der bereits zehn Tage später aufgenommen wurde. Die ersten beiden Strecken führten von Köln/Bonn über Saragossa nach Porto beziehungsweise über Bergamo nach Rom.

Als die letzte Fokker F-27 im Jahre 1996 ausgeflottet wurde, flog Star Air fortan ausschließlich im Auftrag von UPS. Nachdem bis Juli 2004 alle Boeing 727 zurückgegeben wurden, flog sie mit einer Flotte von vier Boeing 757 auf vier Routen für UPS.

2003 schlossen Star Air und UPS eine Vereinbarung über eine weitere, zehnjährige Zusammenarbeit ab. Ab 2005 schaffte die Fluglinie nach und nach elf Boeing 767 in der Frachtervariante an und gab alle Boeing 757 an UPS zurück.

Nach dem Verkauf der Maersk Air durch A. P. Møller-Mærsk verblieb Star Air als eigenes Unternehmen innerhalb der Mærsk-Unternehmensgruppe, die Flugzeuge tragen den Schriftzug MAERSK auf dem Seitenleitwerk. Für das Unternehmen sind heute rund 200 Angestellte tätig, die meisten davon in Köln, dem europäischen Drehkreuz von UPS.
Seit 2014 gibt es eine neue Lackierung, die sukzessive auf allen Flugzeugen der Flotte angebracht wird. Dabei fehlt der große Mærsk Schriftzug und wurde durch einen weißen Stern auf blauem Grund ersetzt.

Im April 2022 wurde die Star Air mit der neu gegründeten Maersk Air Cargo fusioniert.

Flotte

Mit Stand März 2023  besitzt die Gesellschaft 20 Flugzeuge mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 27,1 Jahren.

Zwischenfälle
 Am 26. Mai 1988 stürzte eine Fokker F27-600 Friendship (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen OY-APE) im Anflug auf den Flughafen Hannover-Langenhagen etwa 1 km westlich der Landebahn 09 ab. Während des Instrumentenanfluges bäumte sich die Maschine beim Ausfahren der Landeklappen in die Endstellung stark auf, wobei die Ladung nach hinten verrutschte. Die Frachtmaschine befand sich auf dem Weg von Flughafen Billund über Hannover zum Flughafen Nürnberg. Beide Piloten kamen ums Leben.

President Trump was flown by helicopter to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center early Friday evening "out of an abundance of caution," the White House announced, after he was found to be infected with the Covid-19 virus. Earlier in the day, he was treated with an experimental antibody drug against the coronavirus.
"President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day," the statement said. "Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady."
Shortly after 6 p.m., the president walked unassisted to the Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn, for the short flight to the hospital in Bethesda, Md. He wore a mask.
In a video posted on Trump's Twitter account soon after, Trump said: "I think I'm doing very well. But we're going to make sure that things work out."
It is unusual for a patient to be taken to the hospital with mild Covid-19 symptoms, doctors told STAT.
But the president is not the usual patient.
Typically, someone who has tested positive for the infection will recover at home while symptoms are mild. But if their fevers are not getting better, they're getting dehydrated, or they become confused — especially if they are elderly — that's a sign to seek hospital care. In the hospital, they might be put on blood thinners to combat the unusual clotting Covid-19 prompts. They could also be put on the antiviral remdesivir and, if they get sicker, the steroid dexamethasone.
The clearest trigger to seek care at a hospital is shortness of breath or other signs of low oxygen levels, such as readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in the low 90s, experts say.
"If that is happening, if you're getting short of breath, your oxygen levels are dropping on the pulse oximeter, it probably means that the virus is now destroying your lungs — or hurting your lungs to a degree," said Wes Ely, a pulmonologist and critical care physician at Vanderbilt University who was speaking in general terms about Covid-19 patients. He spoke in general, before the White House announced the president would be taken to the hospital.
In a statement released Friday night, the president's physician said Trump "is not requiring any supplemental oxygen" but had been given an initial dose of remdesivir, a Gilead Sciences drug that's been shown to reduce the time it takes hospitalized Covid-19 patients to recover. The Food and Drug Administration granted the drug emergency authorization in May for use in patients with severe Covid-19, but in August, that authorization was broadened to include all hospitalized coronavirus patients.
How remdesivir works.
Earlier Friday, Trump received an experimental Covid-19 treatment being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals after testing positive for the novel coronavirus.
Data from a study of the treatment, which has not been authorized for use by the FDA, was first presented on a company conference call just three days ago. At the time, Regeneron executives said they planned to discuss what they called very promising results with regulators.
Details of Trump's treatment were made available in a letter from Sean P. Conley, the physician to the president, which was released by the White House.
Conley wrote that, in addition to the Regeneron treatment, a cocktail of two monoclonal antibodies, Trump is also receiving zinc, vitamin D, and the ulcer drug Pepcid, all of which have been studied as possible Covid-19 treatments without definitive results, as well as melatonin, a supplement used as a sleep aid, and a daily aspirin, which is often taken by older people for cardiac reasons. The letter did not specify which treatments were being taken for Covid.
Conley also said that Trump was "fatigued, but in good spirits."
The Regeneron treatment is a combination of two monoclonal antibodies, manufactured versions of antibodies that the immune system uses as one of its primary weapons against infection. It was created using genetically engineered mice the company developed that have immune systems much like those of humans, and which have been used to develop a number of marketed medicines for disorders like high cholesterol and debilitating skin diseases. The selected antibodies were shown in lab studies to tightly bind the protein the coronavirus uses to infect cells.
Could President Trump receive an experimental coronavirus treatment? Should he?
In the results released Tuesday from a 275-person study, the Regeneron treatment seemed to lead levels of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal swabs taken from patients to decrease more quickly than they did in those patients who received a placebo. The patients were not hospitalized — like Trump when he received the infusion. The effect was most pronounced in patients who did not generate enough antibodies of their own. Those patients also had higher detectable levels of the virus.
Trump received the top dose of the antibody cocktail, which requires the infusion of 8 grams of monoclonal antibodies, which are given intravenously. The process generally takes about an hour.
While Regeneron said it viewed the results as potentially enough for an emergency use authorization — although the company noted that decision is made by the FDA — several other experts, including two former FDA commissioners, have said more data are needed to be certain about the treatment's benefits and whether it would lead patients to recover more quickly or keep them out of the hospital.
Robert Califf, who was an FDA commissioner during the Obama administration, told STAT that the treatments given Trump were "not unreasonable." He added: "But nothing he's taken has been proven to improve outcomes, but also, none [are] likely to make things worse."
In the Regeneron trial, serious adverse events happened in two patients who received placebo and one who received treatment, indicating that the treatment is relatively safe.
Regeneron said in a statement that the president received the treatment through a single patient investigational new drug application, a pathway open to patients "with certain established criteria and a review committee."
"The company's current priority is to maintain a sufficient supply of REGN-COV2 in order to conduct rigorous clinical trials that fully evaluate its safety and efficacy," Regeneron said. "In addition to the clinical trial supply and product being manufactured under an agreement with the U.S. government, there is limited product available for compassionate use requests that have been approved under rare, exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis."

How BRAVE of our President to use a drug first that Americans will use later on, showing us he has faith in certain treatments and Pharmeceuticals that deserve it, and not in those that don't. I find it very typical of our authentic President to put his money where his mouth is.. No doubt the First Lady is using HCQ, in my opinion. Likewise today's briefing shot down all the naysayers who had hoped for negative outcomes by sharing he's doing so well, and needs no oxygen. Blood sats 96 walking around.. is a great sign. Any American wishing ill on the President has betrayed their country and become deranged with evil and hatred, no matter WHO the President in office is.. this is a time to come together not divide and spew hatred. Each day MSM/Dems show WTP they're not interested in facts, or freedoms, just power and greed.
christine lewis says:
I am so sad to hear of our president, or anyone for that matter. I am glad to know Trump is in good hands and I pray that this event will help to lead our country to a treatment to help those affected. A virus can not be cured however treatments can make it easier to get over , I have to agree that the dems have done nothing to help our country for 4 years and I hope to see great changes come from all of this
Elizabeth Harvey says:
I feel that it was irresponsible and selfish for Trump and his associates (fellow politicians, aides, supporters) to scoff and refuse to wear masks and expose others to the virus. That is not how our POTUS should behave.
Timmy Vawwter says:
One word for you all: SWEDEN
cindyjg says:
why he trump getting these drugs yet no one else is. the man who says it will go away an it is nothing. Has not helped the country keep safe or help get rid of this virus, yet his hand is out for the first thing he can get. NO FAIR.
dipthroat says:
No HCQ, or bleach injections?
The deep state doesn't want potus to survive!
Even on a science based site, the dems/leftist show how dangerous their lack of objectivity is for all of us, since they're own hatred and desire for power is transparent by the bashing of a patient with Covid19.. blaming the victim is the Dems motto. It's reprehensible how far the Dems/DNC party has fallen from any shred of decency, compassion and especially objectivity. MSM/Putin/Hit-ler would be so proud of the work of the alinsky dems.. Thank God enough people are awake to know Trump was loved by these very same people up until he ran/won the Presidency. He was a pillar in the community and on MSM routinely, praised by the same party who today despises him.. Why? Because he's no puppet and has refused to go along with decades of swamp corruption. So proud of him for keeping his promises to expose the cabal of America Last, theirselves first thugs..

Q: Using VLookup in VBA type mismatch error I am trying to figure out how to use vlookups in vba.
Function Check_NPI_NUM(pracno As String, npi As String) As String
   Dim tempRange As Range
   Set tempRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("tempSheet").Columns("C:D")

   Dim fixedPracno As Variant
   'fixed pracno will look like this "$C$64941"
   fixedPracno = Replace(pracno, "H", "C")

   If (npi = "0") Then
    Check_NPI_NUM = Application.IfError(Application.VLookup(fixedPracno, tempRange, 2, False), "0")
   Else
    Check_NPI_NUM = npi
   End If
End Function

I think my problem is the second part of the lookup to another sheet. I get a mismatch type error and I can't figure out why. If it is the first part of the lookup can someone explain why?

A: It's a much better idea to use Find and Offset rather than VLookup in VBA. Offset by one column to replicate 2,0) in VLOOKUP. Something like this:
Sub Test()
    Dim tableArray As Range, found As Range

    Set tableArray = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A1000")

    Set found = tableArray.Find(what:="someValue", lookat:=xlWhole)

    If Not found Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox found.Offset(0, 1).Value
    Else
        MsgBox "Not found"
    End If
End Sub

This colour possibly being a symbol of knowledge, insight and meditation, (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/151058/conflicting_symbolism_of_the_color.html) quite fitting in this instance. This gives the illusion of the reader being enclosed in his own world of study.The only light source in the composition is a lamp slightly left of centre on the desk, made up of 3 candles and a dark opaque shade. It casts sharp shadows across the austere room, putting the right side of the composition in darkness and effectively out of focus due to very narrow tonal range. This coupled with the covered window shutting out all worldly distractions serves to draw us again to the thought of the reader being in a moment of complete concentration and isolation from his surroundings.Our spectator's viewpoint puts us in the left of the room on the picture plane, in front of the subject. The lines of the furniture, carpet, shadows etc draw our angle of vision left of centre and slightly down to the light emitting from the lamp, the focal centre of the composition. The emphasis feels to be on the atmosphere rather than detail of the scene. We are seeing how the subject studies rather than what he is studying.


Although I intended this Slaters kit to be a 'quickie', it turned out to be anything but.
Being a brake van, I did not want the thing to be free-running, as would be given with normal pinpoints running in outside bearing units, and thus chose to use MJT inside bearing suspension units to provide the compensation. They are barely noticeable on the finished model owing the presence of the footboards at axleguard level. Some modellers even resort to foam pads rubbing on brake van axles, so that they really do hold back the whole train, thereby minimizing the tendency of the train's freer running pin-pointed stock to joggle back and forth.
The use of inside bearing units avoided the need to introduce excessive clearance between the outside W-iron/axlebox and the footboard. The moulded W-irons supplied as part of the kit's solebar mouldings could therefore be left in place.
I found that the floor needed widening by 0.5mm to get the sides and ends to fit properly.
Bufferstocks were drilled out for the later fitting of Alan Gibson heads, springs and long bushes.
The roof was thinned down nearer to scale thickness (I hate seeing an overthick roof). The kit's chimney is conical and was replaced by 1mm plastic rod, drilled out just at the end, and extending down through the roof with a makeshift stove attached to the bottom.
The thickness of the compartment ends in the window area was thinned down to approx 0.25mm. A door handle and catch was added from 0.25mm phosphor-bronze wire.
All moulded handrails were replaced by 0.33mm brass wire with the handrail end rivets being simulated with the same material.
The vertical planking as supplied on the kit sides is incorrectly extended to the bottom of the sides – there should be a single horizontal runner. On the model therefore, the bottom 1mm of the sides was milled off and replaced by a horizontal strip of 5 thou plastic. Train indicator racks were added to the sides with 10 thou plastic, thinned down. The open, 'cabin' end headstock handrail was replaced with 0.5mm nickel-silver wire. The lower inside section of the verandah end was replaced entirely to provide the inset shown on the prototype and to feature the characteristic sloping section at the join of the planking and the headstock. Planking was scribed on the inside of the verandah end. The height of the verandah top is approx 1mm too high on the model – this fault is present on the kit, and was not detected until too late – I should have looked at the drawing! This has correspondingly resulted in a slightly incorrect vertical placing of the side handrails. Verandah 'guard' handrails were added. Triangular section plasticard was added between the body verticals and the floor in the area of the verandah ends – these fillets appeared fairly early on in the career on these vans, and are intended to stop rot. Lamp irons were added from plasticard, three pieces on each one for the characteristic MR pattern. Extra rivets were added where necessary to the body and to the solebars and headstocks.
Coupling hooks are the excellent MJT white metal castings, and for you 3-link fans, are man enough to be functional, providing they aren't subject to abuse. You will find though that the hole needs to be enlarged slightly and very carefully to take the toroidal shape of the 18 thou diameter of a coupling link.
The roof is removable, as I don't like to put glazing in until the body painting is more or less complete, and is held on by two 10BA bolts. Having a removable roof also means that body weighting can be left to a later stage.
The incorrect square section footboard supports on the kit were replaced by approx 0.7mm diameter nickel-silver wire. Footboards were thinned to scale thickness (about 25 thou seems right). The lengths of the upper footboards should be different, and new ones were made for the balcony end, since those in the kit are not long enough. An MR nameplate was added to the solebar, together with horsehooks.
Axleboxes: those in the kit were replaced by Ellis 10A (MJT castings), as this type appeared to be more common in later days for these vehicles.
3'7 1/2" wheels (split-spoke, Alan Gibson) do give clearance problems between the wheels and the floor underside (set at 4' above rail level). Fortunately, the MJT inside units can have their legs tweaked out to cope with the P4 back-to-back, but even so, with a 3'7 1/2" wheel, the top of the fixed unit is 15.7mm above rail level. The rocking unit top is 16.5mm above rail level, and with the floor (which on a brake van cannot be raised up inside the body) thinned down to 0.25mm (not easy, considering that there are planking grooves scribed on top!), the buffer height can just be on 14mm, which is within my specification, but probably above the prototype design level, which on MR vehicles at the time, was 3'4 1/2" (13.5mm). If I were to do the vehicle again, I would discard the Colin Waite style 'rocker' in favour of putting the rocking unit on a pivot rod, thereby greatly easing this height problem.
I could not get the Alan Gibson split-spoke wheels to run concentrically, and bushing is precluded since there is not quite enough meat in the middle of the wheel moulding for this; in the end, the best I could manage was to fit new axles of 3/32" diameter, the new axle hole being bored through the wheel moulding while the tyre is held and rotating in a specially turned lathe collet.
One problem that did not become immediately apparent, and which caused a real headache, is that the brake shoe hangars, all of which are suspended from a complex plastic framework (60 thou square material) mounted on the inside suspension units, obscure the tails of the sprung buffers as they protrude through the rear of their collar guides set in to the rear of the headstocks. Since the pre-paint washing can rust the steel buffer springs (and shanks), I like to fix the buffers after painting, bending over the tails of the shanks at the appropriate point (to stop them dropping out of the front). With the tails obscured, the suspension units had to be made as complete assemblies with all the brake gear attached – these could then be washed and painted and inserted into the body after the body final painting stage and buffer insertion. In future, I might chose fully-assembled push-in sprung buffers, but Slaters headstock mouldings are excellent and are so easy to spring.
The prototype has a very short solebar length in relation to the wheelbase, so there was very little room to fit the AJ coupling mounting lugs and their shank height/centring guides between the headstocks and the brake shoe assemblies mounted on the inside suspension units.
Brake shoe rods are 20 thou plastic rod, while the central brake rod is 30 thou plastic rod – a crank and extra rod attached to the central rod depict the connection to the brake handle inside the body. Full brake gear attachments to the brake shoe rods was not incorporated – I draw the line somewhere!
Currently, the vehicle is about to go into the paintshop.

Shrieking Orange Skies
By Sue Berliner
Students will use oil pastels and tempera paint to explore the expression of emotion through art using Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream" as inspiration.
"The Scream" is an autobiographical work of art by Edvard Munch describing an emotionally lonely moment when the artist heard a piercing sound he described as an
"infinite scream passing through nature".
Many people mistakenly think that the figure is screaming, however, one interpretation is that the figure is reacting to a scream and covering his/her ears for protection. This work has been described as "the soul cry of our age".
Munch wrote a poerm to explain the painting:
"I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature."
Edvard Munch (1863-1944, Norway) began his artist career at age 17, but his father initially hoped he'd be an engineer. He had a sad childhood. His mother died when he was only five years old, but his father (who was very strict) took care of him. His sister also passed away.
Munch developed a unique style, artistically expressing his extreme emotions by eliminating unnecessary details. He used line, shape, value, and color freely in symbolic ways. Munch often created works about the same subject three or more times, starting with a painting, then making prints as he refined his images and messages. His powerful works explore emotions of grief, loneliness, fear, love, jealousy and death. Munch was very symbolic and emotionally expressive in his work.
The Scream was first exhibited at Munch's solo exhibition in Berlin in 1893.
Munch titled it in German "Der Schrei der Natur"
The painting also exists in a later version, which is in the possession of the Munch Museum. In addition Munch worked with the motif in drawings, pastels and prints.
The pastel version of "The Scream" sold in May 2012 for $120 million US dollars. Forty-five prints were made from the lithograph version before the printer ground the stone down to print another work.

How do you pronounce the word "Cree"? What does it mean?
The name Cree, comes from "Kristineaux", or "Kri" for short; a name given to Native Americans from the James Bay area by French fur traders.
"Cree" rhymes with the English word "see." It's a shortened form of the French word for the tribe, Kristeneaux, but it's not clear where that word came from. It may have been a French mispronunciation of a Cree clan name (Kenistenoag) or a Cree mispronunciation of the French word for "Christian" (Chrétien.) In their own language the Crees call themselves Iyiniwok or Ininiwok, meaning "the people," or Nehiyawok, "speakers of the Cree language."
mahti (pronounced mah-tih) means "please"
