Last weekend I had some foodie fun! We attended the Feast of Local Flavours and spent Sunday afternoon preparing freezer meals with Pampered Chef.
I love food. I mean, of course everyone loves food (survival and all that). But sometimes I wish I was more of a foodie. When I go on vacation, I like to try different restaurants and cuisine that I wouldn't normally have access to. Or even when people come to visit, I try and make a trip out to a local restaurant rather than stay at home and eat (which is what I usually do). Last weekend was a bit different, because the Husband and I went out for a few fun food-themed activities that we wouldn't normally do on a typical weekend. I'd love to share them with you here!
On Saturday, we attended the "Feast of Local Flavours" and had the chance to try out mini-meals from local restaurants, cafés, etc. Each person had 7 tickets and each mini-meal cost 1 or 2 tickets. I wanted to try everything so the Husband and I shared some of the options and pigged out on some all by ourselves.
These little cups from Verdicchio were filled with fresh veggies (like beets!) and had a little ball of goat cheese. The ladies took me to Verdicchio for my bachelorette party and my one friend had this as a palate cleanser (normally you get a mini-caprese salad bite but she is allergic to tomatoes). Moral of the story is that I love beets and every time I go to Verdicchio I want to try this, and I finally got the chance!
There were also local breweries/distilleries that were present, and I was really intrigued by these bitters (which are like little flavour shots you add to your drinks). If only I was a mixologist I would actually know which bitter goes well with what (although they did have a few recipe cards).
Don't get me wrong, everything was super delicious, but I only got a few photos in before I chowed down! I made sure to have all the dinner options first, and then saved all my desserts for the end. I think I was able to taste all the different meals, and it definitely encouraged me to try out more restaurants that I haven't visited before.
Do you do that? Stick to the same places each time, either out of proximity convenience or comfort/laziness? The proximity factor is strong, because sometimes I am really hungry and don't want to travel far to eat… but I want to go to new places too!
I hope that I'll be able to try out more of these restaurants, and a bunch of other ones too!
On Sunday afternoon, we did something a bit different from our night out on the town the day before. When I visited the Valley Home Show in September, I met a representative from Pampered Chef named Johanne. I signed up for one of the "Dinner Done Workshops" and I forced convinced the Husband to go with me on Sunday.
Basically, you buy and bring all your ingredients in to the workshop, and prepare them into pre-made (uncooked) meals along with the addition of some Pampered Chef spice mixes. (The Husband did have fun cutting up all the meat!).
Every meal gets separated into large freezer bags, which you then put in your freezer and add into the crockpot when you are ready to eat them. She even gave us a handy sheet that says what sides pair well with what, and on Sunday we had delicious shrimp in a nice rosé sauce on pasta (yum!).
Yes, I did have to buy onions and garlic (which I hate by the way and never use!), but I figured it's better to trust the professional and add these to "flavour" my dishes (ya okay!). The Husband and I did chop up the onions real big so they're really easy to pick out (haha sneaky sneaky!).
I love cooking in the crockpot, because honestly… it's the easiest thing ever! Like I just wake up, put my food in, turn it on low, then come home and can almost eat it right away! Attending the Dinner Done Workshop was really helpful because it gave me so many different combinations that I've never tried before and I'm excited to experiment with all the different spices I have (yes, you get to keep the leftover spices!). I'm a lazy type of foodie, in that I like my spices premixed, because I find it hard to use up all of one thing before it expires (yes, spices do expire… but I couldn't tell you that they taste any differently…).
I also made a few lasagnas last weekend in my downtime (haha, more like stuffed them into my schedule) so my freezer is now stocked for most of the winter! While I loved sharing my "foodie fun for the weekend" experience with you, I'd like to encourage everyone to try out their local independent restaurants, and try making freezer meals! (Seriously, just do a search online, you'll find so many resources and recipes).
That way, you'll have food for those lazy days when you just want to stay at home in your pjs, and some fun options to try out when you venture out of your comfort zone (literally, and figuratively!) and try something new. Who knows, maybe you'll even incorporate some new dish ideas and local produce into your freezer meals!

Protesters celebrate governor's decision to withdraw emergency proclamation for Mauna Kea
Published: Jul. 31, 2019 at 7:01 AM HST
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The governor on Tuesday withdrew an emergency proclamation for Mauna Kea, and announced the state had given the Thirty Meter Telescope an additional two years to start construction under an existing permit.
He said the state of emergency ― which drew widespread criticism from protesters and legal experts ― was lifted because there are "no immediate plans to move heavy equipment up the mountain."
"We continue to seek and find a peaceful solution to move this project forward," Gov David Ige said, at a news conference. "For the safety of all involved, we do believe we want to deescalate things."
Meanwhile, protesters said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that the governor's decision to withdraw the emergency declaration "reaffirms our resolve."
"Governor Ige has admitted that he underestimated our strength, unity, and broad public support," the statement said. "Our numbers continue to grow and his ability to oppose his own people is increasingly becoming less and less justifiable. Ige's rescinding of the emergency proclamation illustrates how he can no longer claim that we are threatening public safety. We are the public."

Posted by Hawaii News Now on Tuesday, July 30, 2019
The statements came on the 16th day of a protest at the base of Mauna Kea, where activists have blocked the only access road the summit so that TMT construction equipment cannot pass, and as the state is tracking two hurricanes in the Pacific that could impact the state.
Ige said he's hopeful protesters clear out ahead of the storms.
"We have concerns with the coming storms," he said. "We are monitoring the approach of the storms and we will be taking appropriate action."
Kahookahi Kanuha, a leader of the TMT protest, said he and others are tracking the hurricanes closely and will take all necessary precautions.
"We do have plans in place and we are implementing them as a speak and if necessary we are willing and ready to evacuate this area to ensure the safety of all of the people," he said.

[Read more: Observatories say there's no deal for workers to access summit]
Meanwhile, Ige added that while the permit extension gives TMT more breathing room, it doesn't mean that the state won't be working to "secure access" to the summit in the meantime.
And TMT spokesman Scott Ishikawa said the two-year extension was requested "out of an abundance of caution."
"We continue to support the ongoing conversations around those issues that are larger than TMT and Maunakea. At the same time, it is important for us to get started as soon as possible," Ishikawa said.
Protesters called the extension a "stall tactic."
"Governor Ige has been forced to lean on this tactic because he understands we are not stepping away from this struggle," they said, in their statement.
Opponents of the $1.4 billion telescope say it will further desecrate a mountain they consider sacred. Supporters say it will bring jobs and push the science of astronomy significant forward.
As the protest drags on, Thirty Meter Telescope officials have said repeatedly that they're still committed to moving forward with the project.
Protesters have urged TMT to move to its back-up site in the Canary Islands.
Earlier this month, after making no progress, the governor gave Big Island Mayor Harry Kim broad authority over the state's response to the conflict and said Kim was "taking the lead" in the push to find a solution.
Separately, Kumu Hula Paul Neves is suing the state over religious access and told Hawaii News Now he visited the summit with eleven others in a van on Monday.
"Because of the situation, the heightened situation, this was the most difficult one. I never found it difficult going up there. This was difficult because there never was a permission ever had to be given," said Neves.
Late Tuesday afternoon, because the emergency proclamation was withdrawn, the state asked a panel of circuit judges to throw out Neves' case. The judges said they want to keep the case alive, but on hold in case the Governor issues a new emergency order that prevents religious visits to the summit.
"TMT is still waiting to go up the mountain, they've been given another two years, and the protectors are saying hell no," said Judge Edward Kubo.
"It just takes a stroke of a pen to have this whole situation repeat itself," Judge Paul Wong said.

Pravind Kumar Jugnauth (born 25 December 1961) is a Mauritian politician serving as the prime minister of Mauritius since January 2017. Jugnauth has been the leader of the Militant Socialist Movement (MSM) party since April 2003. He has held a number of ministerial portfolios and also been Leader of the Opposition.

Early life and education
Born on 25 December 1961 in La Caverne, a suburb area in Vacoas-Phoenix, Mauritius, Jugnauth was born into a Hindu Yaduvanshi Ahir family. He was born to Anerood Jugnauth, a barrister, and Sarojini Ballah, a schoolteacher. He has an elder sister, Shalini Jugnauth-Malhotra.

After primary schooling at Aryan Vedic, he studied at Royal College Curepipe. He then went on to study law at the University of Buckingham, thus joining the Lincoln's Inn, and became a barrister. He then joined Aix-Marseille University in France where he graduated with a "diploma in civil law."

Family life
Pravind Jugnauth married Kobita Ramdanee in 1992 and is the father of three daughters: Sonika, Sonali and Sara.

Start of political career
Pravind Jugnauth entered the political arena in 1987 and officially joined the MSM in 1990.

2000 to 2005

As Minister of Agriculture from 7 September 2000 to 7 October 2003 (under MSM-MMM government), Jugnauth reformed the sugar sector by diversification with the production of ethanol, agricultural rhum, special sugars, electricity generation from bagasse and other high value-added products. Besides production costs were significantly reduced in response to a drop in the protected sugar price under the Sugar Protocol with the European Union. He also negotiated a package for workers under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme which enabled around 8000 workers to retire with cash compensation exceeding 2.5  billion rupees and around 825 arpents of land worth 3  billion rupees.

Jugnauth also encouraged hydroponics and other modern methods of agricultural production as well as agricultural biotechnology research. He created a National Agricultural Biotechnology Institute and Food Technology Laboratory in Mauritius and later launched the Small Planters Welfare Fund. The fund caters to the welfare of planters and their families and provides crop insurance schemes designed to financially support planters whose crops are affected by unfavourable weather conditions.

As Finance Minister from 7 October 2003 to 5 July 2005, Jugnauth reduced taxes on thousands of commodities. He increased subsidies on basic commodities and gave salary compensations well above inflation rates in two successive years. He launched a project to make Mauritius a Duty Free Island.

2005 to 2009
In June 2005 Prime Minister Paul Berenger dissolved the Parliament in preparation for the 2005 General Elections. The Labour-led Alliance Sociale won a total seat of 38 against the MSM-MMM alliance which obtained only 24 seats. Pravind Jugnauth was defeated in his constituency, received 48% of vote and was not elected.
Paul Berenger became Leader of the Opposition made up of MSM (14 seats) and MMM (10 seats).

In 2006 MP Ashok Jugnauth left the MSM party and formed a new party following a dispute with Pravind Jugnauth regarding the leadership of the party. At that time Pravind was not an elected member of Parliament but still held leadership of the MSM. Nando Bodha the general secretary of the MSM became Leader of the Opposition after the MSM-MMM alliance split up due to Pravind Jugnauth's disapproval of Paul Berenger's request to make Rajesh Bhagwan the Opposition Chief Whip. In 2007 two members of MSM (Joe Lesongard the party's president and Sekar Naidu) left the MSM and swore allegiance to Berenger who became Leader of the Opposition.

2009 By-Elections
Ashok Jugnauth (half-brother of Sir Anerood Jugnauth and uncle of Pravind) had been elected as MSM member of parliament in Constituency No.8 Quartier Militaire and Moka. But he had to resign in November 2008 as the British Privy Council upheld the guilty verdict that the Supreme Court of Mauritius had issued in 2007 following charges of electoral bribery during the campaign leading to the 2015 General Elections. Thus by-elections had to be held in 2009. Ashok Jugnauth stood as a candidate with the support of MMM. The Labour Party supported Pravind Jugnauth who then announced his candidacy in the 8th constituency. On 2 March 2009, Pravind Jugnauth won the by-elections. His victory paved the way for the next alliance (Labour Party-MSM) during the 2010 general elections.

2009-2014
In 2009, MSM formed a coalition known as Alliance de L'Avenir or Ptr-MSM-PMSD by joining forces with the Mauritian Labour Party and Mauritian Social Democrat Party. The coalition won the May 2010 elections. On Navin Ramgoolam's advice, President Sir Anerood Jugnauth then appointed Jugnauth Vice Prime Minister & Minister of Finance as of 11 May 2010. On 26 July 2011 Jugnauth and all other MSM ministers resigned due to the scandal known as the MedPoint Affair.

In 2014, following the resignation of Paul Berenger as Leader of the Opposition, President Kailash Purryag appointed Jugnauth to the office. Jugnauth served as Leader of the Opposition from September to December 2014.

2014-2017
He was appointed Minister of Information Technology following the Alliance Lepep's victory.

2017-2019

On 23 January 2017, he was chosen by his party MSM to lead the National Assembly. This triggered the ruling coalition partner Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate to leave the government and join the Opposition. Pravind Jugnauth served as Prime Minister of Mauritius during the second half of the Alliance Lepep's mandate which concluded with general elections in November 2019.

2019–present
Following the victory of the Alliance Morisien (a coalition of MSM-ML-MAG parties) at the 2019 General Elections Pravind Jugnauth was elected as Prime Minister for a five-year mandate.

The sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean is disputed between the United Kingdom and Mauritius. In February 2019, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the United Kingdom must transfer the islands to Mauritius as they were illegally separated from the latter in 1965. The UK does not recognise Mauritius' sovereignty claim over the Chagos Archipelago. In October 2020, Jugnauth described the British and American governments as "hypocrites" and "champions of double talk" over their response to the dispute.

Recognition and awards

Pravind Jugnauth was honoured Doctor from the University of Buckingham with an Honoris Causa in 2005. In 2017 he has awarded the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman by the President of India.

Controversies
In 2010, the PTR-MSM-PMSD government acknowledged the need to create a specialized centre for geriatric care. Thus the cabinet of Ministers approved the purchase of the existing MedPoint Private Clinic which was owned by Dr. Krishnan Malhotra and Mrs Shalini Devi Jugnauth-Malhotra. The latter is the sister of then Minister of Finance Pravind Jugnauth and daughter of then President Sir Anerood Jugnauth. The objective was to convert the hospital into a specialised centre.

On 22 July 2011 following an investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), then Minister of Health Maya Hanoomanjee was arrested by the ICAC Police and the government chief valuer was suspended from his duties. Pravind Jugnauth was also arrested on charges of "conflict of interest". This became known as the MedPoint Affair. On 30 June 2015 Jugnauth was found guilty under Article 13 of the Prevention Of Corruption Act 2002 (PoCA). He was sentenced by the Intermediate court of Mauritius for 1 year of imprisonment. However, he appealed to the Supreme Court of Mauritius and won his appeal. The prosecution appealed to the UK Privy Council which is constitutionally Mauritius' Highest Appeal Court, but the prosecution appeal was ultimately unsuccessful.

On 26 December 2012 Pravind Jugnauth was arrested and interrogated by Central CID on charges of sedition. This followed a complaint lodged by former minister Sheila Bappoo of the Labour Party after Pravind Jugnauth's revelations about the abuse of power and financial scandals involving Navin Ramgoolam's girlfriend Nandanee Soornack. Pravind Jugnauth's arrest was decried as being arbitrary and a form of harassment by Navin Ramgoolam, as the previous application of the anti-sedition law dated back to 1972. Lawyer Roshi Bhadain assisted Pravind Jugnauth in his legal defence.

You have an idea for improving a product, process or service in your company, but your partners, managers and employees are stuck in their comfortable, old ways of doing things. The success of getting your ideas implemented depends on the way you go about introducing those ideas. The best way to start is to write a formal business case describing the goal of the proposal, the current situation, proposed changes, potential results of those changes, and an implementation plan. Whether or not anyone actually reads your document, putting your idea and supporting argument down on paper will help you present your idea succinctly and in its best light.
Call a planning meeting and present your idea in a non-threatening way, highlighting the goal of the proposal and the benefits to be realized. Be prepared to suggest alternative implementation strategies depending on the reactions of your meeting participants. A less disruptive option to immediate, full-scale implementation is a limited-time, small-scale test implementation involving a specific department, product or service.
Deal with a potential "let's think about it for a while" reaction by having prepared a comparison sheet showing how your ideas would improve efficiency, production, costs or revenues. A financial improvement is a powerful incentive to give your idea a chance. Immediately volunteer to head a test project to implement the idea on a small or temporary scale.
Follow up on the meeting decision, even if it is a strong "no," by continuing to identify areas for improvement and quietly implementing your ideas in individual situations -- if you can do so without causing further resistance. The goal is to develop some proof of your concept to the disbelievers.
Talk about your ideas whenever you have the opportunity. Change often comes in small increments over time. Even if your partners and managers are enthusiastic about your ideas, implementing them requires consistent application of the proposed changes so all in the company get used to the new way of doing things.
The Chasm Group, a consulting firm that grew out of the book "Crossing the Chasm" by its founder, Geoffrey Moore, cautions that the long-term success of a company rests on its abilities to alter its business model to fit the ever-changing business environment. Whether you are altering strategy or adopting a new IT infrastructure, the questions to answer involve your current situation, what can be done about it, and the best way to go about doing just that.

Coming to Rwanda: VW bringing e-Golf cars for ride-hailing system
As a testing ground, Volkswagen will launch new electric vehicles in Kigali as part of its app-driven Move service.
A worker cleans a Volkswagen e-Golf electric car during its launch for use in a new ride-hailing service in Kigali, Rwanda [Jean Bizimana /Reuters]
Volkswagen is importing a batch of electric-powered versions of its Golf hatchback car to Rwanda for a local ride-hailing service, establishing a bridgehead in the country that it hopes to expand to other nations as it seeks to increase market share globally.
Importing the vehicles into Rwanda - which sells itself to foreign investors by touting its reliable infrastructure, stability and relative ease of doing business, and which is a place where VW already assembles cars - is initially intended to test infrastructure and performance in the region's climate.
Volkswagen races Tesla to China with electric car factories
Kagame's Rwanda is still Africa's most inspiring success story
Cobalt mining: Dark side of the electric car revolution
"We've been investing more than $30bn into new electric vehicles and platforms and the entire world is moving in that direction," Thomas Schaefer, a managing director for VW in Africa, told the Reuters news agency.
"The plan for Africa is that ultimately, we replace the whole fleet into electric."
VW, which has a global target of producing one million electric cars a year by 2022, is starting small in Kigali: importing 50 e-Golf models in the first few months.
The vehicles - combustion-engine cars modified to run on electricity - will be integrated into the company's app-driven Move service, launched last December.
German power equipment firm Siemens will build 15 charging stations in Kigali.
The stations can charge up to 80 percent of a car's battery within an hour, although it takes around 11 hours to charge a car at home, said Andile Dlamini, a VW communications officer.
The e-Golf's range, fully charged, is up to 230km (143 miles). VW's new ID3 models to be launched next year will have a range of 600km (373 miles).
Rwanda has an installed power generation capacity of 286 megawatts. Unlike many nations in Africa, Rwanda boasts electricity that is relatively reliable. And the cars would mainly charge at night, when there is an excess of power.
Edouard Ngirente, Rwanda's prime minister, said he hoped electric car use could expand, noting that fuel products were Rwanda's biggest import last year.
Schaefer acknowledged the high price of electric cars would not appeal to most African consumers, but said scaling up production and favourable government policy could help bring prices down.
"The Rwandan government is working on electric vehicle policy, and if that policy favours electric cars over traditional [ones], then that development can happen very fast, Schaefer said.


The high quality of its products combined with the creative mind of its creator never cease to amaze me.
Today I have for you the latest additions to the a-england line, She Walks in Beauty & And the Moonbeams..., both part of the Heavenly Quotes series. And they are nothing like their predecessors!
She Walks in Beauty is a heavy mix of gold and green shimmer combined with various sizes of hexagonal pink glitters. While it would reach full opacity in 3 coats, I decided to layer it over a-england Iseult, the perfect, streak-free, baby pink shimmer. The combination of the two shades result in a delicate yet rich and sophisticated look, stunning! Formula was a pure wonder, easy to apply and with a great glitter dispersion. This is one coat of She Walks in Beauty over two coats of Iseult paired with the Knight (basecoat) / The Shield (topcoat).
And the Moonbeams... is a sheer but gloriously dense gold and green shimmer in a clear base. The shimmer is the exact same as the one in She Walks in Beauty and while they would probably look perfect with one another, I was most inclined to pair it with Beauty Never Fails, also part of the Heavenly Quotes series, in an attempt to emphasize its dramatic look. You're looking at one coat of And the Moonbeams... over two coats of Beauty Never Fails, combined with the Knight (basecoat) / The Shield (topcoat).
I must confess that for the first time with a-england, I wasn't immediately sold on these shades when I first saw them but I am so glad I was able to see them for myself!
The flawless formula and rich blends make them PERFECT for layering and I couldn't be happier with the matches I made for them!
She Walks in Beauty & And the Moonbeams... retail for £9 each and are available for sale through email order and very soon on a-england.co.uk.
And... for a touch of Litterature, I strongly encourage you to visit Eugenia's blog ommorphiabeautybar.com to learn more of the story behind the shades!
Your swatches are perfect as usual. These are gorgeous!!!
I adore your layering combos!
What a great idea over pink! Stunning swatches and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Originally from Illinois, K.Flay started rapping and writing songs on a lark while attending Stanford University, and soon began releasing herself-produced mixtapes. Not long after the arrival of Every Where Is Some Where (her major-labeldebut), she took her kinetic liveset to arenas around the world as support for Imagine Dragons, in a ddition to earning her Grammy nominations in the categories of Best Rock Song (for "Blood in the Cut") and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Through the years,she's also brought her genre-bending sensibilities to an eclectic mix of collaborations, working with everyone from Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda to Louis the Childto skate-punk bands like FIDLAR and Dune Rats. But despite that deliberate shapeshifting,K.Flay's output remains rooted in her undeniable lyrical skills, an element she attributes to her innate love of language and its infinite possibilities.In the making of her new EP Inside Voices, the two-time Grammy-nominated artist followed through on that newfound confidence by claiming total freedom in every aspect of the creative process. The result: a glorious primal screamin EP form, equal parts exhilarating and explosive and wildly illuminating. 14+ .

The highly anticipated Toyota Mirai, the leading car manufacturer's first fuel cell vehicle, will go on sale in Japan on December 15. Consumers based in the U.S. and Europe will have to wait until mid-2015 to get their hands on the innovative car. Priced at $57,600 before taxes, the Toyota Mirai will soon directly compete with mid-range luxury vehicles worldwide.
The company's sales target is 400 in Japan and 300 for other countries around the globe in its first year. Emissions-free and hydrogen-power are the highlights of the four-door vehicle. For now, Toyota is pioneering the fuel cell trend.
Other top car manufacturers such as Honda and Hyundai are expected to follow suit and have already began experimenting with new fuel cell technology. Honda held a conference earlier this week for press coverage on its fuel cell concept car.
Apart from its costly price tag, another reason consumers would want to hold off on purchasing a Toyota Mirai is due to lack of fuel. Less than a hundred hydrogen-fueling stations can be found worldwide. The company is currently working with governments in major cities to construct fueling stations, as the fuel cell market gains momentum.
Analysts speculate that it would take around 10-20 years for Toyota to reach sales in the tens of thousands range. The company is no stranger to risk, as they faced similar challenges during the launch of the Prius, which can now be found around the world.
The car company remains very optimistic in its selling strategy, as it rolls out the Toyota Mirai in urban areas where fueling stations are present. There are currently 200 pre-orders for the vehicle.


When Barbara Retkowski went to a Cape Coral, Florida, health clinic in August to treat a blood condition, she figured the center would bill her insurance company. Instead, it demanded payment upfront.
Earlier in the year, another clinic insisted she pay her entire remaining insurance deductible for the year -- more than $1,000 -- before the doctor would even see her.
The practice of upfront payment for non-emergency care has been spreading in the U.S. as deductibles rise. Now, the advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is likely to accelerate that trend.
Many of the plans offered through the law's insurance exchanges have low initial premiums to attract customers, while carrying significant deductibles and other out-of-pocket cost sharing. The second-lowest tier of Obamacare plans in California, for example, carries a $2,000 annual deductible.
Hospitals say they need to charge patients prior to treatment because Americans are increasingly on the hook for more of their own medical costs. And once care is provided, it's often difficult for hospitals to collect.
Employers are following suit as they push workers to share more financial responsibility for health care. The percentage of insured workers with a deductible of $1,000 or more for single coverage jumped to 34 percent in 2012 from 12 percent in 2007, according to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust.
Overall, the number of people with high deductible plans rose to 15.5 million in 2013 from 1 million in 2005, according to America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry's lobbying group in Washington. The Internal Revenue Service largely defines high deductible health plans as those with an annual deductible of $1,250 or more for individual coverage.
Doctors and hospitals at New York University Langone Medical Center collect co-insurance and deductibles upfront for inpatient and outpatient services, said Andrew Rubin, vice president for medical center clinical affairs and affiliates. The amount may be based on estimated cost of services. The practice helps clarify bills for patients and saves on administrative costs when it comes to collections, he said.
Lee Memorial Health System in Fort Myers, Florida, collects co-payments and deductibles prior to elective services, Mary Briggs, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. If a doctor decides a procedure is urgent, they'll work out payment plans, she said.
And unless it's an emergency situation, Presbyterian Healthcare Services, a nonprofit hospital system based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, requires patients with insurance to pay their deductible, copay and co-insurance at the time of service, and the uninsured pay in full. The hospital has financial assistance available and says on its website that it can reschedule appointments if patients aren't able to pay.
Hospitals provided $41 billion in care for which no payment was received in 2011, up from $3.9 billion in 1980, according to a January report by the American Hospital Association. About 25 percent of uncompensated care stems from insured patients, Caroline Steinberg, vice president of trends analysis at the association, said in an interview.
Consumer advocacy groups say the upfront payments limit access to medical care.
"It puts the employee or patient at risk of not getting the service because the deductible may be a barrier to care," said Mark Rukavina, executive director of the Access Project, a Boston-based nonprofit that focuses on health-care access.
Hospitals counter that discussing payment upfront helps connect patients earlier to financial assistance programs while ensuring providers get paid.

Women still only earn 79% of what men are paid as wage gap persists
Published Tue, Apr 16 201910:01 AM EDT Updated Tue, Apr 16 201912:56 PM EDT
Yun Li@YunLi626
The ADP Research Institute analyzes payroll data from 13 million employees from 30,000 firms across eight sectors in the United States.
The study finds the pay difference between men and women persists across all levels of management and the higher up the corporate ladder, the less female representation there is.
Women earn $25 an hour on average, 79% of what their male counterparts make, which is $32 an hour.
On the highest management level in the ADP study, women earn $48 less than their male counterpart and 85% of those managers are male.
The gender pay gap is still alive, according to data Tuesday showing that women are still lagging when it comes to pay equality.
Women earn $25 an hour on average, 79% of the $32 an hour their male counterparts make, according to a new study from the ADP Research Institute which analyzed payroll data from 13 million employees at 30,000 firms across eight sectors in the U.S.
The pay difference between men and women persists across all levels of management and the higher up the corporate ladder, the less female representation there is, ADP found.
At a nonmanagement level, women make $5 per hour less than men on average and the gender representation is about equal. Moving up to the highest level in the ADP study, women earn $48 an hour less than their male counterparts, and 85% of those managers are male.
"Gender differences across hierarchy levels show that the proportion of women in senior level positions is significantly lower than that of men," Ahu Yildirmaz, co-head of the ADP Research Institute, said in a report. "The fourth management level, however, appears to define the 'glass ceiling' — a steep decline in female representation even from the third level."
The disparity at the top management tiers is "problematic" because those managers have "an outsized influence" on corporate culture and policy, Yildirmaz said, adding that there's no quick fix.
"Considering that these leadership positions typically require candidates with substantial job tenure and mentoring, short-term fixes will be challenging," Yildirmaz said.
While faced with the glass ceiling, women tend to get promoted earlier than men in their careers, according to ADP. On average, it takes women 6.6 years to get their first manager promotion, and it takes 7.3 years for men, the study shows.

This synthwave band just might be the thing you're missing in your life.
Dance With The Dead might be a band you've heard of already if you're into electronic music or happened to stumble across them while taking a trip down the rabbit hole that is YouTube when you're having trouble sleeping. The band was formed by the duo Justin Pointer and Tony Kim, who have both been friends since childhood and hail from the beautiful Orange County in California.
The band's retro-sounding music will literally transport you, at least in your imagination, back to a time in the '80s when electronic music was not only all the range in nightclubs across the country, but prominent in both science-fiction and horror film soundtracks of this great era as well. They take a lot of influence from some great metal bands like Pantera, Mötley Crüe, and Def Leppard, along with distinguished European musicians such as Daft Punk and Kavinsky.
"Get Out," the opening track on their 2017 album B-Sides: Volume 1, doesn't waste any time at all and begins with a tasteful synth backing along with some pounding guitars and drums that makes one think these guys just might be shooting at us with an M60 machine gun. Dance With The Dead revs this song's engine and accelerates it at full speed into an epic guitar section. How much more is there to say here other than hell yeah?
The bridge of the track, if you want to call it that since it's a very quick transition, is more of that sweet synth work that comes nicely complimented with some bouncing drums that keep us headbanging our way into a completely unhinged guitar solo of sorts. You can tell these guys probably know they've got a damn great track here and aren't afraid of showing off a bit.
Bringing things full circle is the sick guitar section from earlier to close things off. We couldn't help at times feel like this music was perhaps inspired by the soundtrack for Thunder Force IV, which was side-scrolling shooter video game for the Sega Genesis from the early '90s. Specifically, the track "Evil Destroyer" from that video game's soundtrack, which you can listen to here.
Anyway, Dance With The Dead really seem to let their music do all the talking for them, considering they don't even have their own personal website. However, you can follow them and find out where to buy their music on their SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Twitter, and Facebook accounts. You might also be interested in checking out their most recently released album, titled Loved to Death, which just might be their most refined work yet!
If you enjoyed the above track, why not let us know in the comments below or on any of our social media accounts? We'd also love to hear from all of the Dance With The Dead fans out there too!

Les pathologies en rapport avec une haploinsuffisance du gène SHOX vont du syndrome de Leri-Weill, pour le phénotype le plus grave, à une petite taille.

Les trois signes classiques du syndrome de Leri-Weill sont la petite taille, une mésomélie, et la déformation de Madelung.
La mésomélie qui est le signe le plus constant dans cette pathologie est un raccourcissement de la portion moyenne des membres: l'envergure (Distance horizontale minimale mesurée entre le bout du majeur de la main gauche et le bout du majeur de la main droite, lorsque les bras, les mains et les doigts tendus au maximum de chaque côté en ligne droite sont parallèles au sol) des bras diminue entre l'enfance et l'âge adulte.
La déformation de Madelung consiste en une anomalie du radius et du cubitus avec une déformation du poignet en fourchette. Cette déformation n'est souvent évidente que vers 10 ans; elle est plus sévère chez la fille que chez le garçon.
La petite taille devient manifeste au cours de la croissance.

with the query
 SELECT prod_type ,count(*)
   FROM products
   WHERE prod_source='USA'  and flag=0
   GROUP by prod_type
   ORDER by prod_type;

HOW do i get the resulset with count of all the prod_type's in USA ? It must display all the prod_type's in USA even if the count is 0 .
Table definition:
CREATE TABLE `products` (
  `prod_id` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `prod_source` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
  `prod_type` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `flag` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`prod_id`)
)
ENGINE = InnoDB;

Data insertion:
INSERT INTO `products`
VALUES (1,'USA',2,0),
       (2,'USA',2,0),
       (3,'USA',2,0),
       (4,'USA',3,1),
       (5,'USA',4,1),
       (6,'BRA',1,1),
       (7,'BRA',2,1);

A: In SQL Server, I'd use the following:
SELECT prod_type,SUM(CASE WHEN flag=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROM products
   WHERE prod_source='USA'
   GROUP by prod_type
   ORDER by prod_type

I can't say whether the same would work in MySQL.
(Cheeky edit to correct column name in SELECT clause)

A: Check your data, the query is correct but your data in the top table does not match the insert script (prod_id 5 is inserted with flag = 1)
TO get the 0s, you need to select the distinct prod_type then left join that onto your current query.

The Next Best Past: Looking Back from 2050
The Next Best Past: Looking Back from 20502016-07-132016-07-13https://ndnr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ndnr-logo-with-web1-300x169-copy.pngNaturopathic Doctor News and Reviewhttps://ndnr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/667587_l-e1468439070233.jpg200px200px
David Schleich, PhD
A sure way to slow down and eventually stall the co-option of naturopathic modalities, protocols, and philosophy by the allopaths is to be very, very effective in providing health care. Another, parallel, and sure way to prevent the suppression of naturopathic medicine is to populate the healthcare terrain with 20 000 new naturopathic doctors. We can do this by 2050.
Imagine our grads confidently fanning out across the continent, like the allopaths, osteopaths, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists did before them. Despite the deliberate mischief of the biomedicine industry gingerly appropriating our modalities in their latest market outreach, "integrative medicine," we will persist in establishing footholds and building strongholds. Three steps to our 34-year mission: 1) a dozen new, accredited academic and clinical programs; 2) a continuously growing volume of transactional research; and 3) licensing in every state and province on the continent. How likely is the program growth part of this 3-pronged effort?
The accumulating track record of our programs and colleges succeeding in the higher education arena is inspiring. We've done it before; we can do it again. That inspiring story, though, is not as well known by our newest matriculating cohorts. There is, for example, the story of how Western States Chiropractic College (WSCC) ditched its ND program when Dr W. A. Budden died and Drs Spaulding, Stone, and Bleything started over in 1956, founding NCNM, the "mother ship," (now in its 60th year, officially assuming university status on July 1, 2016, in the state of Oregon). Nor do those new naturopathic students seem to know a lot about the 1978 founders of John Bastyr College (Dr Bill Mitchell, Sheila Quinn, Dr Joe Pizzorno, Dr Les Griffith) or why JBC branded itself differently than its parent school, NCNM. That JBC deliberately took the shape it did and grew to become a multi-program university in the state of Washington by 1994 is an important legacy to know about and to understand. The year 1978, in fact, as the story goes, proved to be pivotal. The Ontario College of Naturopathic Medicine (OCNM) was started up in Kitchener, Ontario, by Dr Gordon Smith, along with Dr Asa Hersov, Dr John LePlante, and Dr J. Wilson. OCNM became CCNM (Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine) in 1994, under the leadership of Dr Don Warren. It became degree-granting 2 decades later in 2014.
Perhaps those same incoming ND cohorts would be curious about how Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) came to be, in 1992 in Tempe, Arizona, founded by Dr Michael Cronin, Dr Kyle Cronin, Dr Konrad Kail, Dr Dana Keaton, Dr Hugh Hawk, and Deborah Mainville-Knight. Also to factor into this saga is the start-up of the College of Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport (BU) in 1997 by Dr James Sensenig. And then, just 2 years later, in January 2000, the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM) was launched in Vancouver, BC. Along came Dr Fraser Smith, a graduate of CCNM, who was the founding associate dean of the naturopathic program at National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in Lombard, Illinois, in 2006. Looking ahead, Maryland University of Integrative Medicine (MUIH) hired its founding dean, Dr Beth Pimentel, just this year, and plans to launch its new ND program in 2017. As well, on the other coast, Dr John Scarenge, President of the Southern California University of Health Sciences, has retained Rita Bettenberg, the former Dean of Naturopathic Medicine at NCNM, to guide the building of a new ND program in north Orange County, potentially opening in 2018. In the last 2 decades, much has happened in naturopathic medical education. The next 2 decades will be no less breathtaking.
Where the Next ND Programs Will Emerge
After Flexner (1910) and the demise of dozens of medical schools (among them Lust's American School of Naturopathy in New York, and Louis Blumer's ill-fated College of Naturopathy in Connecticut), surviving stand-alone naturopathic programs and others in chiropractic colleges such as NUHS and WSCC went through very tough times. These days, however, we have regained an earlier momentum, albeit on firmer ground. The first 10 modern ND programs will have taken just over 5 decades to stake out and hold territory in the world of accredited higher education. The next 10 will take much less time. They will almost certainly also show up in public-sector institutions this time, surfacing in pairs and clusters in different parts of the country, 1 after another. Given demographics and the nature of regional health policy, especially after the implementation of the US Affordable Care Act, new programs are likely in due course in New York, Florida, Texas, Quebec, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
Such growth, of course, will have to contend with the very high cost of starting modern post-secondary programs. Start-ups are not for the faint of heart. Hough (1992), in this connection, wrote persuasively almost 30 years ago about the financing of higher education, pointing out that those who would support emerging professions and vocations would have to find the money to "keep pace with trends in student interests and numbers" (p.1353). Two years before Dr Michael Cronin launched SCNM, Hufner (1991) was adding to the higher-education literature about college finances by reminding academic leaders about another feature of financing colleges and universities, namely the growing "claim for accountability" regarding public financing (for the private and not-for-profit sector, this means Title IV and Stafford student loans). These important trends were never lost on our early, prescient leaders. Spaulding, Pizzorno, Cronin, Warren, Wang, Sensenig, Smith, Vitale, and Scaringe never once expected state and other public money subsidies of the kind which have given mainstream medical schools their huge leg up. They were aware, too, that private-sector schools would be nipping at the gates to the post-secondary city, especially in terms of training allied health providers in "natural" modalities to complement allied healthcare services.
While building the first 10 stable naturopathic programs decades after the heady, early years of the 20th century when pioneers such as Lust and Lindlahr were so active, the later champions had to contend with not only the vulnerable state of educational finances in support of professional formation, but also parallel and persistent expectations that the colleges would stay accountable to the profession. In addition, there is the accumulating concern that our modalities, and with them chunks of our identity, are in danger of being sideswiped by integrative medicine programs and fellowships appearing with market precision out of the biomedicine complex.
Financing post-secondary education is a delicate, high art
In those same corners of the literature about the financing of higher education, there is an accompanying conversation about the difficult challenges of advancement and fundraising as key revenue-generators for the higher-education sector, including our corner of it (Fisher, 1989; Clark, 1998; Duderstadt, 2000). Duderstadt, for example, explains, "It has been suggested that some universities, from a financial perspective, look more like banks than educational institutions, since their most significant economic activity involves managing their endowment investments and capital expansion" (p.171). Many ND leaders have been hard at work building advancement capacity, including choreographing modest endowment funds. Significant progress has been made since the early 90s at BINM, CCNM, BU, NCNM, and SCNM regarding plant and property developments, which have involved exactly such advancement efforts.
Also darting around the prospects for growing the profession is literature about the enormous impact of information technology, not only as it relates to related instructional costs and management and learning information systems, but also to the larger issue of funding those capital costs to sustain key instructional, operational and research strategies (Hanna, 2000). Our "millennial" students learn differently than the passionate pilgrims of naturopathic medical education who assembled in Kansas in the mid-70s, longing for a campus of their own. The yearning for naturopathic medical education is as strong as ever and growing; the methodologies for delivery are transforming at breakneck speed.
In addition to considerations of finance, the literature of higher education articulates a taxonomy of accountability across more than money matters. Hufner's "level-specific" and "function-specific" accountability model is quite useful for those of us in the naturopathic medical education sector (Table 1). Hufner has written a lot about the essential characteristics of higher education, alongside lots of other descriptions and discussions pointing us at important variables that we have to keep in mind if we intend to start a new ND program somewhere, anywhere.
Table 1. Comparison of Early-Accountability Expectations for New Programming
Accountability to the Profession: Starting a New Program of Naturopathic Medicine
· Measured against the standards of recruitment and performance set out in the professional competency standards espoused by the AANMC
· Measured against the credentials essential for faculty appointments as medical academics by the CNME accreditation body
· Level of research activity, measured by publications and by percentage of the profession participation
· Reliability of curriculum outcomes as preparation, not only for medical practice, but also for entry to practice via external licensing exams.
· Financial solvency and reinvestment resources of the host institution
Hufner's Function-Specific Accountability Model (Hufner, 1991, p.49)
· Teaching accountability
· Research accountability
· Consulting (public service) accountability
· Learning accountability
· Administrative, including fiscal, accountability
Against this complex backdrop of planning and expectations, how can we generate a dozen new programs on this continent fast enough to hold our position in the emerging models of care? Because of the formidable and unforgiving cost, the length of time between announcing a program and attracting the first class, and between being eligible for candidacy and getting candidacy, starting new programs poised to solve these problems is tougher than it used to be back in 1956, 1978, 1992, 1997, and 2006, even though that is exactly what we must do, and quickly. Today, as outlined earlier, we have 8 programs operating in various frameworks in North America: Vancouver, Toronto, Lombard, Bridgeport, Seattle, Portland, Tempe, and San Diego, and 2 imminent new ones in Laurel and Whittier. We need a dozen more before 2050 rolls around.
Those programs are unlikely to be the stand-alone, single-program colleges we have been familiar with. Rather, they will be programs within existing post-secondary institutions, perhaps non-profit and even for-profit. In this regard, the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) may well wish to promote program growth with equal enthusiasm in all 3 sectors – non-profit, for-profit, and public sector – as conversations grow about start-up modeling. There is the growing clout of the for-profit educators still in the game, despite recent federal review of organizations such as the Corinthian Colleges group. Those for-profit enterprises (such as the Apollo Group, Argosy, and others) have their antennae aimed at the natural medicine industry and sense profits in meeting the demand for training.
We worry that these for-profit, private-sector incubators of naturopathic medical programming will inadvertently or even deliberately intrude into the content and clinical skills of CNME-quality naturopathic doctors nationwide, diluting protocols, modalities, and the entire profession into the bargain. It is not diploma mills (like the former Clayton College in Birmingham, Alabama, or the American Academy of Quantum Medicine in Las Vegas, Nevada, a subset of the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board) we will have to worry about for full-degree programming, enabling graduates to take NPLEX. This latter group has no affiliation with the Department of Education or the CNME, but nevertheless offers attractive certification programming to lay and professional students alike, such as "Quantum Medicine Certification" [CQM] and "Quorum Nutrition Certification" [CQN] to MDs, DOs, DCs, DDSs, PhDs, NDs, OMDs and IMDs, in addition to their outreach to massage therapists, acupuncturists, nutritional counselors, certified nutritionists, registered nurses, and dieticians. A crowded, clouded landscape can confuse the health consumer as well as the legislators from whom we seek legitimacy.
There are more than 1700 organizations in North America loosely described as "corporate universities," some of which definitely have an eye on many professional and vocational preparation program opportunities, including the rich, specialized market of "natural medicine education," ranging from the professional doctorate credential to quick allied healthcare certificates. These private-sector learning entrepreneurs are setting a new pace in post-secondary transformation (www.corpu.com). Jeanne Meister, president of Corporate University Xchange [CUX], predicted over a decade and a half ago that private educational "institutes for learning" would actually outnumber traditional universities by the year 2010 (Morrison, 2000). The great recession of 2008 and the Gainful Employment legislation of 2014 stalled that growth, but there is evidence that it has a renewed vigor in the more resilient economy of 2016. Indeed, the overall growth in doctoral programs in the health professions and related programs since 2008 has risen slowly but steadily from 51 675 to 64 195 (Table 324.10, Digest of Education Statistics, National Center for Educational Statistics, 2014). Equally impressively, in bachelor's and master's degree programs in the same sector, growth has risen from 111 478 to 181 144 for bachelor's programs, and from 58 120 to 90 931 for master's programs (Table 325.60, Digest of Educational Statistics, National Center for Educational Statistics, 2014).
Let's not rule out corporate universities quite yet
Corporate universities do not seem to want their primary function to only be the granting of degrees, though. Rather, they also know they have to "partner with universities to provide customized programs for major job families, usually within their organizations" (Morrison, 2000). However, it is in the interactivity, along those points where the public and the private meet, that influence is sharply felt and anxieties run high. Old certitudes continue to be nudged by new patterns. It is where the nudges are strongest that a naturopathic medical program will pop up. It is highly probable that the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) will be asked to review its preference for non-profit entities, not unlike the Medical Association's Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)'s having been challenged to accept early for-profit DO colleges, such as Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine (RVUCOM) in Parker, CO, near Denver. That school was founded and is owned by Yife Tien, COO, of the American University of the Caribbean (AUC) in St Maarten, itself a for-profit, higher education entity. Ross University operates an LCME-accredited medical program in the Caribbean and has been successful in attracting high-profile medical educational professionals, including – some years back – the former Dean of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University.
And, there is another variation in the private post-secondary arena, with some relevance for naturopathic medical education. Geoffrey Cox wrote years ago, enthusiastically, about the "promising signs" that online instruction, in fact entire online university programs, [were] doable "with quality and integrity" (Cox, 2000). He and his colleagues at Unext predicted, long before Facebook and Learning Management Systems, the imminent strength of "technologies that emphasize the best pedagogical theories, such as asynchronous, on-demand learning." Unext and Cardean are for-profit, private institutions. Cox insisted 15 years ago, "There is nothing inherent about a for-profit structure that limits an institution's ability to provide quality education" (Cox, 2000).
It can be quite useful to explore this growing recognition of private higher education as a "central element" (Altbach, 1999, vii) of post-secondary educational systems. Private higher education is well funded, agile, and aggressive. There are numerous very successful operations that have added capacity in some natural medicine modalities already; some high-profile, international, private examples include INSEAD in Paris, Waseda or Keio in Japan, Yale in America, Ateneo de Manilla in the Philippines, and Javieriana University in Columbia. There is also a new holistic/naturopathic college in Manila, its funding coming directly from a for-profit, multi-discipline, allopathic enterprise called TotalMed. Happily, this latter company is committed to spinning off its new school into a non-profit, and inviting the CNME to consider generating standards for international school clients.
We might be alarmed at these intrusions into higher education by business. Our inclination is to embrace the social good which our schools can do, and to eschew any idea of accruing equity for any individual or group from the naturopathic community. Earlier, Clark (1983) outlined a useful typology of 3 basic value sets (specifically, social justice, competence, liberty… and perhaps loyalty) that help to position colleges and programs like ours in society. These value sets are frequently cited as the debate emerges about the "social good" (or lack of it) that accompanies private universities, particularly of the for-profit kind. This values-typology is enhanced even further by Clark's now-famous "triangular model," outlined a decade later in the landmark study, Places of Inquiry, in which he contemplates the strain within academia generated by conflicting pressures among the sometimes contrary imperatives of education for the professions, general liberal education, and research training and practice (1995).
As well, Janet Knowles' discussion about the "emerging entrepreneurship" within colleges (in terms of their response to the very private-sector-like impacts of markets and revenue) is another handy tool for a closer look at the manifesting of private higher education in our world. The goal is to understand those forces which are driving what Altbach has described as "the logic of today's market economies and an ideology of privatization" (1999, p.2).
Naturopathic Education & the Social Good
The responsibilities of private higher education (that is, the complex conversation about public and private good) are very much part of the parameters of private higher education. Gorostiaga (1999, p.192), as a case in point, argues that public, social good is not a commodity. Buchbinder (1993) states that "the objectives of higher education that are expressed as the production and transmission of knowledge as a social good are being replaced by an emphasis on the production of knowledge as a market good, a salable commodity" (p.143). Whatever impact this tension is eventually shown to have on academic autonomy and collegiality, the tremendous differentiation in private higher education, being witnessed by students of higher education as a global phenomenon, could find very precise manifestation in one of our proposed corners of America as a potential launch pad for the half-dozen new programs we think we might need in place by 2050. We have our work cut out for us. Looking back, though, may be less scary than looking ahead.

Q: Merge shapefiles with unequal field lengths I have several shapefiles in ArcMap that I want to merge together into one shapefile so I don't have to keep juggling them all.
However, I can't use the Merge geoprocessing tool because it gives me a "001156: Failed on input OID; could not write value to output field TXPYRS_NAME" error. This seems to be because each shapefile has a different length for TXPYRS_NAME.
But when I go into ArcCatalog and try to change the field length in the Shapefile Properties window from 15 to 35 to match the other shapefiles, it says "Unable to alter field's length".
This person says it's impossible to change the field length for a feature class that already contains data. So how am I supposed to merge these files if the field lengths are different and unchangeable...?

A: Reading the answer you linked carefully you can see that you could copy the shapefile whose fields you are trying to change using the Feature Class to Feature Class tool.
This tool gives you a Field Map section with a list of all your original fields and the possibility to change the length property before actually copying the input sahpefile.
So basically, you could do something like this (just pretend my "test" shapefile in the picture is the shapefile you have and "Id" is the field you need to change:

A: The Merge Geoprocessing tool will use the length of the first layer brought into the dialog. If every other parameter (besides field length) is the same, a simple (perhaps the simplest?) way that I have found to circumvent the errors that you've described, is to put the one with the longest field length in first. This is because it is using the first layer encountered to set the length for the output. It is possible to put values smaller than some length into a field but it is not possible to put values larger than some fixed length into the output. If you have multiple lengths, you may have to experiment with discovering which is best to put first (especially when multiple other possible field collisions exist).

Q: RapidMiner: Access an Example of an ExampleSet by the Id-Attribute I want to get an example from an id attribute.
Actually this attribute was some regular attribute and i transformed it into an id attribute wiht the "SetRole" Operator now i want to get access on some examples in the "ExecuteScript" Operator. So my process is something like this: ExampleSet with some "text" regular Attribute -> transform it into a id Attribute with "SetRole" -> ScriptOperator
Now i wanted to use something like:
ExampleSet es = input[0];
es.remapIds();
Example e = es.getExampleFromId("Text");

but obviously getExampleFromId() only accepts double-value. But although the attribute type of "text" is "Polynomial", it seems like it contains something like strings. And the exampleSet after the SetRole Operator seems perfectly fine. So I wonder how i can access an Example from an id. (Casting doesnt work)
Help appreciated
EDIT: Okay, i get it now, the id there is not the value of the id-Attribute but just a intern identifier in the ExampleSet. But my question still remains how can i access a row of a ExampleSet by the id-Attribute.

A: The Filter Examples operator can be used to filter examples where an attribute has a specific value. Perhaps the code for this could be useful as the basis for doing it in your own code.
