MINOR HOCKEY ROUND-UP Nov 14 - Frayne Bantams, News (St. Marys Minor Hockey)
MINOR HOCKEY ROUND-UP Nov 14 - Frayne Bantams
Submitted By Pete Frehner on Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Balanced lines key to Frayne Bantams' attack, coach says
A-E team has five players back from last season
Coach Dale Switzer thinks his three balanced lines will drive the Frayne Custom Cabinets A-E Bantams' attack this 2018-19 season.
Switzer's Bantams are off to a strong start this fall. A hard-fought 1-1 tie with Strathroy Jr. Rockets last week improved the Rock's record to 8-2-2 in the Shamrock League standings. It left St. Marys alone in first place, one point ahead of Mt. Brydges Cougars (8-1-1).
"Actually, we've been up and down, even though we've been winning," coach Switzer told the Independent in a recent interview. "We had a few weaker opponents at the start of the year, before we kind of got our legs underneath us.
"As the season has gone on, we've shuffled the lines two or three times. I think we have some combinations now that seem to be working. It was good timing because that's when we started seeing the stronger teams."

All lines have to contribute
All three lines have to contribute, both offensively and defensively, Switzer says.
"All three lines score and all three lines check. We've told the kids that we don't want a scoring line and a checking line. All three lines have to do both, or we just won't win."
The well-balanced lines are probably his team's biggest strength. "We want to go at the other team in waves and keep the pressure on," the coach says.
Stronger defensive play in their own end--as a six-player unit--is an area Switzer would like to see his Bantams get better at.
"We struggle a little bit when other teams really forecheck us hard," he noted. "Sometimes it's the forwards not coming down low (in the defensive zone) to help out. Winning the puck back and the initial transition of getting the puck out of our zone is something we want to improve on right now."
Five returning players
It's Switzer's first season behind the Frayne bench. He has one goalie and four skaters from last year's A-E Bantam team. The remainder of the squad moved up from the Peewee ranks, including a handful from the 'BB' Firefighters who reached the OMHA final.
The rest of the coaching staff is comprised of assistant coaches Brendan Near and Gord Cookson, trainer Kevin Bilyea and manager Norm Penney.
Switzer and company will be taking their team to the Regional Silver Stick tournament in Collingwood this weekend, Nov. 16-18. To start the tourney, they play Penetang, Caledon and Woolwich in round-robin action.
"Right now, we're playing well. If we clean things up in our own end, I don't see why we can't have a good showing up there," the coach says. "Tonight (Nov. 5) against Strathroy is a good measuring stick because they are also up at Silver Stick in Collingwood."
In that SHL game against the Jr. Rockets, the teams were deadlocked 0-0 after two periods. After Strathroy opened the scoring early in the third, captain Jake Littlejohn tied it with a low shot from the point.
Jr. Rockets picked up a five-minute major penalty midway through the period, giving St. Marys a lengthy powerplay. The Rock applied good pressure, but couldn't get the go-ahead goal and had to settle for the tie.
Kiefer MacNeil played well in net for the home team.
2018-19 team roster
The team roster for the 2018-19 Frayne Cabinets A-E Bantams is as follows: Jack Aarts, Kiefer MacNeil, Ian Boyd, Owen Boyd, Chase Carter, Emmett Doupe, Jacob Grant, Jake Littlejohn, RJ Masse, Lucas McCurdy, Gavin Muir, Jake Pfaff, Zach Rooney, Alex Slade, Cam Stapleton and Nathan Switzer.
Note: The Frayne Bantams host Mt. Brydges in league action on Monday, Nov. 19, starting at 8:30 p.m.

Signature Market, a Malaysia-based direct-to-consumer healthy snack e-commerce platform, announces that it has raised a Series A round from the country's private investment firm RHL Ventures. RHL Ventures joins other investors like Axiata Digital Innovation Fund.
Signature Market will use the undisclosed amount of funding to claim its position in the industry and scale across Southeast Asia.
Signature Market was first founded as Signature Snack in 2014 and its goal is to make healthier food products more accessible and affordable. It was established by Edwin Wang and John Cheng.
By selling all natural and organic products direct-to-consumer on its website, the company said it has the flexibility to bypass costlier distribution channels thus allowing them to sell the best product quality and freshness.
For now, Malaysia remains their focus but the company has longterm plans to be in other Southeast Asian countries, noticing the similar strong demand for healthy food products in the region.
"We decided to back Signature Market as they're using technology to create a new way for people to access healthy snacks; helping Malaysians eat more nutritiously and lead healthier lifestyle," said Rachel Lau, Managing Partner of RHL Ventures.
According to Nielsen, global demand for healthy snacks has been on a constant rise over the past few years, and Signature Market came on strong in Malaysia with its claim of 100 per cent natural ingredients with no preservatives.

Prepare for the robot revolution
The rise of automation presents society with new challenges, warns Keith Hebden
Road ahead: driverless vehicles could remove the livelihoods of thousands
TECHNOLOGY both frees and displaces people.
During the Industrial Revolution, mechanisation took over much agricultural and textile work, forcing impoverished people into cities in huge numbers. Today, society
faces an even bigger upheaval than that experienced by its steam-powered ancestors: the rise of automation.
The professional-services firm PwC predicts that "up to around 30 per cent of existing UK jobs are susceptible to automation from robotics and Artificial Intelligence by the early 2030s". These jobs will either disappear or change beyond recognition, it says.
Two sectors that will be affected are care work and logistics.
With an ageing population, the UK faces significant challenges in providing care to the elderly and housebound. Local authorities have responded positively, in principle, to Citizens UK's "I care about care" campaigns, which have called for better-quality care, and better training and pay for care workers. But local authorities say that they are constrained by cuts in their budgets from central government: better care will cost more money.
In the not too distant future, however, much of the care of the elderly and housebound will be automated, making care more efficient and affordable. The diagnosis of conditions, the dispensing of treatment, getting people mobile, and even providing tactile therapy, may increasingly be performed by machines and algorithms.
Another sector in which there is likely to be significant change as a result of technological advances is logistics, the fine art of getting stuff from A to B. Driverless vehicles, which are cheaper to run and are potentially safer, could become the normal means of transporting goods.
In a paper published by the New Economics Foundation think tank, Stephen Devlin suggests that the introduction of driverless vehicles will mean that nearly 30,000 truck drivers in the UK will find that they are "no longer necessary".
ADVOCATES of automation say that Artificial Intelligence and robotics reduce costs, carbon foot-prints, and human error. But it is important to be aware of the potential consequences and challenges that it presents.
It might be efficient and more cost-effective to provide the elderly with automated care. But it is vital to consider what the consequences will be of removing human touch from healthcare, the accidental human contact that so many rely on.
The 20th-century philosopher and theologian Jacques Ellul warned that if "technique" (automation and scientific method) becomes the only medium of human experience of life, "the whole set of complex and fragile bonds that man has patiently fashioned — poetic, magic, mythical, symbolic bonds — vanishes. There is only the technological mediation, which imposes itself and becomes total." Technology has the ability both to maintain human dignity and at once remove the human experience in which that dignity finds its meaning.
If more than a quarter of a million truck drivers find themselves out of work, vital questions must be addressed: what will they do for income, and social value? How will they respond to this brave new world that has no people in it? Where will they take their sense of outrage?
Having spent four years as a priest to an ex-mining community in Nottinghamshire, I have some sense of the social scarring that is caused by huge and sudden unemployment. I can't imagine that many of us want a repeat of the violence and discord that was created by Mrs Thatcher's closure of the pits. It is important to plan.
Increased unemployment always has knock-on effects in terms of opportunities both for governments to collect income tax and for people to spend money elsewhere in the economy. There could be thousands of people with more leisure time and no fiscal freedom to enjoy it, in a future world of unfundable public services. Britain's leaving the European Union will have economic consequences, but Britain's leaving employment to robots will have a greater impact still.
IF I have painted a bleak picture of the future, it is only one path that the country might take. The robot revolution is probably going to happen — it is predicted by both optimists and doomsayers — but the political response need not be catastrophic.
Bill Gates has proposed that robots should be taxed at a "similar level" to humans, to make up the shortfall in the public purse. Some think tanks, and progressive political parties, such as the Green Party, are exploring the shorter working week, so that opportunities for paid work are more widely dispersed. Others champion the Citizens Income, which would give each adult a guaranteed basic income.

Paul Vallely uncovers some radical agendas in the parties' manifestos
But we also need to work out how the rights of workers can be defended, as employment becomes increasingly precarious and threatened. We need to have a democracy that respects the rights of working people much more than we do today.
If "humans were made for the sabbath and not the sabbath for humans", we also need to be mindful of the ways in which the rest we gain from automation serves human flourishing rather than sacrifice the good for the sake of technological and economic gains.
Just as smartphones have freed us but also enslaved us, so, too, will future technologies — if we let them.

Don't Get Too Greedy!
Published on: 15:48PM May 07, 2015
by Paul Neiffer
The US Tax Court released the Costello case yesterday and it is a great example of how much tax you may have to pay when you either get "too greedy" or don't follow the tax rules or both. David and Barbara Costello purchased a large farm (according to the Tax Court 73.6 acres is a large farm) in Maryland in April, 2000 for $1,682,556. The 73.6 acres included a residence and three-car detached garage. They added a stone and pavement driveway, poured a concrete floor for the garage, replaced the residence roof, thoroughly landscaped the area adjacent to the house and made other capital improvements necessary to make the property a fully functional farm. The total costs of these improvements were $295,000 resulting in a total farm investment of $1,977,556.
Real estate values started to rapidly escalate in the area and the Costello's heard about a program offered by Howard County called Agricultural Land Preservation Program (ALPP). One of the options was that a permanent easement could be placed on property and the development rights could be sold to another party. This is what the Costello's did.
They sold 15 of their 17 development rights to a Kennard Warfield, a developer, for $2.4 million. Later, they added one more development right for a total price of $2.56 million (or $160,000 per development right). On October 20, 2006, the deed for easement and the plats transferring the development rights were recorded in Howard County land records. The Costello's had received a down payment of $1.2 million from Mr. Warfield and the remaining $1.36 million was paid soon after recording the easement.
In May, 2007, the taxpayers obtained an appraisal from Bruce Dumler indicating the value of the land including 25 development rights (remember they only had 17 rights; they would need to purchase 8 more to get 25) was $7.69 million. The value of the land without the rights would only be $2.1 million. Mr. Dumler issued his report on July 1, 2007 with an effective date of December 1, 2006. It appears that Mr. Dumler had no clue that any easement had been filed on the property in October and never purported to value an easement.
Based on the appraisal, the taxpayers included an unsigned Form 8283 listing a non-cash donation of $5,543,309 and reported a long-term capital of gain of $1,029,441 on the sale of the development rights. The Form 8283 was unsigned since they could not get Howard County to sign off on the Form due to Howard County officials not believing there was a valid donation.
After Howard County declined to sign Form 8283, Mr. Dumler prepared an addendum to his original appraisal dated March 25, 2008 reciting that he "valued the conservation easement which has been contributed to Howard County by the property owner". In the addendum, he reduced the $5,543,309 value down to a $3.03 million to reflect the sale for $2.56 million. At this point, the taxpayers got Howard County to sign off on the Form 8283 and filed an amended tax return.
As you can guess, the IRS was not happy with any of these values, so they audited the returns for 2006, 2007 and 2008 and assessed additional tax of $1,293,282 and penalties of $258,656.
To summarize the findings, the Tax Court essentially agreed with the IRS on almost all aspects of their audit as follows:
The taxpayers had not obtained a "qualified appraisal";
Even if they had a qualified appraisal, they did not provide an appropriate appraisal summary on Form 8283;
The taxpayers were not in substantial compliance with the reporting requirements;
Even if the Tax Court allowed the Form 8283 to stand as is, the taxpayers enjoyed Quid Pro Quo from the sale of the development rights. There was no charitable transfer of development rights to Howard County. Rather, the taxpayers simply sold their development rights to Mr. Warfield for $2.56 million. Since there was a sale of the development rights where the taxpayer recorded no tax basis, the Tax Court calculated the tax basis for the development rights at $1,977,556. Now, this is where I think the Tax Court was actually generous to the taxpayers. They allotted the full purchase price to be offset against the sales proceeds. But remember, the taxpayers only sold 16 of 17 development rights, retained all of the ground as a farm including the residence. In my opinion, the actual cost that should have been allowed is likely less than $1 million, but again, I think the Tax Court was being generous with the taxpayers.
Finally, the Tax Court found the taxpayers had bungled the whole appraisal, etc. so badly that they sustained all of the tax penalties. The bottom line is the taxpayers ended up with $2.56 million from the sale and had to us about half of it to pay back the IRS. Not a good day in court.

Barton College is a small college in Wilson, North Carolina with a student enrollment of around 1,200 students. It was begun in 1902 by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). There is a very low student to faculty ratio of eleven to one. The college is nationally recognized for its deaf education, education, nursing, and social work programs. There is a strong emphasis on individual attention at the college. There are five residence halls on the 65 acre campus. Students attend Barton from 24 states and 9 different countries. Over 40 majors and programs are offered at the school.
Barton College offers a Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program that is unique in that the faculty team teaches students. This enables faculty members to work together to present the curriculum by using a combination of all of their talents and knowledge to benefit students. Students have opportunities to study in Peru, Honduras, Costa Rica, rural Pennsylvania, and a Cherokee Indian reservation. Nursing students take general education courses during their first year and then progress to nursing courses and other general education courses in the second year. This plan allows students to complete the science prerequisites in their sophomore year.
Another interesting opportunity for nursing students at Barton is that they work internships for their clinical experience. Many of the hospitals and healthcare facilities offer tuition reimbursement or pay competitive salaries to students during this time. Barton offers scholarships to students in need of financial aid, and the State of North Carolina also awards a North Carolina Nurse Scholar award. Students may also apply for federal financial aid and numerous other nursing scholarships and grants that they may qualify to receive.
To qualify for admission to the college, students must have a high school diploma with at least 13 college preparatory units. It is expected that students have at least a 2.30 grade point average from high school classes. They must also take the SAT or ACT and score a minimum score of 890 on the SAT or 19 on the ACT. Students who are admitted must complete all of the nursing courses and clinical experience necessary for graduation with a BSN. At the completion of the program, students qualify to take the NCLEX-RN for their licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN).
This program is for RNs who have their associate degree who want to complete their bachelor's degree. Applicants must have a minimum grade point average of 2.7 on their previous college-level work. Students must complete the prerequisite and core curriculum courses before applying to the nursing program, and they must maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average in these courses. This program requires part-time attendance so that the RN may continue working. It is a requirement that students must be a currently licensed RN to enter the program. Credits may be transferred from the student's community college or junior college in amounts up to 64 semester hours. Students must complete the upper level nursing courses and clinical experience after the prerequisite liberal arts and science courses are finished. A total of 126 semester hours are required for graduation when students receive a BSN.


In August 2017, DDI organized informational sessions in Kinshasa for representatives of the 10 cooperatives that are part of the DDI program, and for the civil society organizations accompanying them. The workshops were part of DDI's ongoing strategy to increase the knowledge of artisanal miners on elements that are fundamental to their mining operations and to the governance of their cooperatives.
Additional training will be offered in each province to deepen the understanding of the previous and new participants, and to establish a pool of trained trainers for the sustainability of all programs. The trainers will be responsible for teaching other members of their respective cooperatives.
The meetings in Kinshasa also included four government representatives from SAEMAPE (formerly known as SAESSCAM), the government agency responsible for supporting artisanal mining sector in the DRC.
5)	Mining code of the DRC.
Marie-Chantal Kaninda, Executive Director of the World Diamond Council and former board member of DDI, presented a full-day session on the Kimberley Process as well as the demands and opportunities of the international market.
Because of the training on the mining code, the participating cooperatives are now preparing an advocacy document to make recommendations to the current revision process of the mining code of DRC. The suggestions will reflect the needs and priorities of miners not addressed in the current mining code.
In addition to the training, DDI also started the creation of self-training materials that will be used by the trainers to train other members of the community. The training materials are adapted to the literacy levels of the miners for easy understanding.
The Maendeleo Diamond Standards program was launched in Kinshasa, DRC on August 24, 2017. The launch was presided by the Director of Cabinet of the Minister of Mines, in the presence of other government representatives from SAEMAPE, department of Mining Cadaster, CEEC (Centre for Mineral evaluation), representatives of civil society, and representatives of cooperatives.
In the months to come, DDI plans to roll out the standards and monitor their implementation in 25 diamond-mining sites in two provinces, through four miners' cooperatives in these zones.
DDI's cooperative program in the DRC is made possible through the generous support of the Tiffany & Co. Foundation.

Russian strikes battered the central Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia early Thursday, the region's governor said, in fatal attacks that tore through high-rise buildings and left a toddler injured.
The Ukrainian-controlled city is located in the eponymous Zaporizhzhia region, also home to the Russian-occupied nuclear plant that has been the site of heavy shelling.
Moscow claimed to have annexed the region last week even though its forces do not control all of it.
AFP journalists on the scene saw rescue workers in hard helmets clearing rubble with their hands, searching for people trapped beneath the debris.
And firefighters were working to extinguish a blaze from a collapsed section of a building with pieces of jagged metal protruding.
The region's Ukraine-appointed governor initially said two people had died after seven bombardments but later reduced the toll to one killed.
"Seven people were injured with varying degrees of severity. They are being treated, including one three-year-old child", governor Oleksandr Starukh said on social media.
"The rescue operation is still ongoing. The number of victims may vary," he added.
Shortly after, he said there was a second bout of incoming fire but gave no details.
Last week Ukraine said at least 30 people were killed after a convoy of civilian cars in the Zaporizhzhia region was shelled in an attack Kyiv blamed on Moscow.
President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday finalised the annexation of four Ukrainian territories — Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson — but the Kremlin is yet to confirm what areas of those regions are being annexed.
Ukraine's presidency said Thursday that over the past day 14 people were killed in attacks in the Donetsk region.

Q: error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected I am having following union
union data {
     uint64_t val;
     struct{
     ....
     }
};

and I have a function
func(union data mydata[])
{
    printf("%llu",(uint64_t)mydata[0]); // Here is the error
}

When i compile this code it is giving following error
error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected

A: The "dirty" solution to access the first member of the nth element of the array of unions pointed to by mydata  as an int64_t without knowing its name is:
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>

union data
{
  uint64_t val;
  ...
};

func(union data mydata[])
{
  size_t n = 3;
  printf("%"PRIu64, *((uint64_t *)(mydata + n));
}

This works as the first member's address of a union or struct is guaranteed to be the same as the address of the union or struct itself.

A: You are failing to access a field of the indexed union array: mydata[0] is a value of type union data, and can't be cast to uint64_t.
You need to access the proper union member:
printf("%" PRIu64, mydata[0].val);

to select the uint64_t value. No need for the cast.
Also: Use PRIu64 to portably print 64-bit values, you can't assume that %llu is the right format specifier.

Starting on, or about, May 15th until June 29th, Speedsville Road will be closed between Royal Oak Road and Heroux Devtek Drive. The closure is to allow for watermain construction associated with the new Hunt Club subdivision and is being completed by the developer.
Local traffic access to residents and Briardean Road will be provided.
The intersections at Royal Oak Road and Heroux Devtek will remain open. Detours around the area will be possible using Royal Oak Road, Boxwood Drive and either Maple Grove Road or Heroux Devtek Drive.
If you have questions, please contact the City at (519) 621-0740.
The City thanks you for your patience as they work to complete the necessary road work as quickly as possible.
Why is Speedsville Road closed?
Speedsville Rd has been closed to allow for the necessary construction of a sanitary sewer, sanitary force main and water main for the new Speedsville Road Sanitary Pumping Station. The new pumping station will support new development in the surrounding area.
Can the work on Speedsville Road be delayed or scheduled?
Unfortunately, due to various other constraints, the work being complete on Speedsville Rd cannot be delayed.
The sign says the road would be closed April 24 and it wasn't
The contractor closed the road and implemented the detour on April 24. They began asphalt removal and excavation on April 25.
How long will Speedsville Rd be closed? When will it reopen?
The necessary work on Speedsville Rd is expected to take 8 weeks. Speedsville Rd is expected to re-open mid-June. The work remains on schedule and the City is working with the contractor to complete the work as quickly as possible.
Why is work being done on a brand new bridge? Why was this work not done when the bridge was replaced?
The current work being done on Speedsville Rd is immediately north of the bridge, and does not involve work on the bridge. The bridge was previously replaced but at that time, the surrounding developments were not approved or designed.
How do I get from south Cambridge to Toyota?
Some possible alternative routes for commuters traveling through the City and local traffic have been made available on the City's website at www.cambridge.ca/SpeedsvilleRd.
Will Speedsville Road be closed during the upcoming Fountain Street North closure?
The City and Region continue to monitor traffic flow in the area and are working together to schedule the necessary road work on Fountain St once other road work in the surrounding area has been completed.
Are Preston businesses open during the construction?
All businesses in Preston are open and all parking lots are accessible.
Construction continues on Royal Oak Road
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Royal Oak Road remains closed between Boxwood Drive and Speedsville Road. The City is working with the contractor to resolve these issues to allow the road to be fully re-opened as soon as possible.
Local access to all properties along Royal Oak Road, along with pedestrian access, will be maintained at all times.There may still be temporary lane restrictions as final clean-up continues. The contractor may be controlling traffic with flag people. Drivers are asked to drive slowly in the area near construction workers and obey all signs.
As part of the Region's King and Fountain Street project, there may be temporary lane restrictions and closures in that area. Please see the City's Road Closure page for a map showing current lane and road closures and for the link to the Region of Waterloo's Road Closure page.
Residents and commuters are being asked to take alternate routes where possible. Commuters driving throughout Waterloo Region are asked to avoid the construction area using Blair Rd, Hespeler Rd, Franklin Blvd, Highways 8 and 401, Sportsworld Dr and Maple Grove Rd. Some possible routes are shown in the commuter map.

In order to complete the necessary work as quickly as possible, there will be construction occurring during the weekend of May 27 to 29 and June 3 to 4, weather permitting. Cambridge Council has approved extended hours of construction on the weekends.
Speedsville Road Closure Update - Traffic lights removed and construction hours extended to speed up work on Speedsville Rd
City of Cambridge and Region of Waterloo staff are working together with contractors to ensure the work in all areas of Preston proceeds to completion as quickly as possible. Speedsville Rd construction is on schedule for completion for mid June.
In order to complete the necessary work as quickly as possible, the City and Region have:
removed traffic signals and implemented left turn restrictions to improve traffic flow along King St
gained approval by Cambridge Council to extend hours of construction on the weekend in order to speed up the work on Speedsville Rd
committed to continue to work together with the Region to monitor traffic flow
Effective Monday, April 24, Speedsville Rd. has been closed between the Highway 401 bridge and Royal Oak Rd. The closure is to allow for the construction of a sanitary sewer, sanitary forcemain and watermain for the new Speedsville Road Sanitary Pumping Station. The new pumping station will support a new development in the surrounding area. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area and to plan an alternative route where possible.
The City is working with the Region of Waterloo, the developer and their contractors to minimize the length of the road closure. The necessary work is expected to be completed in eight (8) weeks.
The Speedsville Road Bridge over Highway 401 was replaced by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) several years ago. The current construction does not involve work on the bridge but rather the sanitary forcemain and watermain for the new sanitary pumping station.
In addition to the necessary work being completed on Speedsville Rd., ongoing regional construction in the area of King St., Fountain St. and Shantz Hill Rd. continues. The City is committed to working with the Region of Waterloo to maintain two-way access to King St. and Shantz Hill Rd. throughout the project to keep traffic moving. In order to maintain traffic flow no left turns will be permitted from King St. to Eagle St.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience, while the necessary roadwork is completed as quickly as possible.

BRIGHTLINE REVEALS INNOVATIVE TRAINS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
By kerttuvali | June 20, 2016 - 8:18 pm | BRIGHTLINE
Comments Off on BRIGHTLINE REVEALS INNOVATIVE TRAINS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
During an exclusive behind the scenes tour at the Siemens manufacturing facility in Sacramento, California, where the company's trains are being constructed, Brightline, the only privately-funded express passenger rail system in the country, unveiled the first look at its locomotive and passenger coaches, including key features of the car interiors.
With Brightline, we are reimagining what it means to travel by train in America and have taken a thoughtful and innovative approach to how we designed our trains. From the comfort of our custom-designed seats to the convenience of smartly-designed bathrooms, we have carefully and deliberately focused on the details that matter," said Michael Reininger, president of Brightline. "We are working closely with Siemens through all stages of the manufacturing process and are incredibly proud to see these spectacular trains coming together."
"We're proud to be building these advanced technology Brightline locomotives and passenger coaches in America, for America, while providing highly-skilled jobs throughout our nearly 1,000 person Sacramento manufacturing plant," said Michael Cahill, president of Siemens Rolling Stock. "This is a significant milestone for our manufacturing plant, for future Brightline riders that will soon experience a new era of transportation in Florida, and for the nation to see higher-speed rail systems continue to become a reality."
At the Siemens facility, Brightline revealed its first completed locomotive shell, constructed of carbon steel. The Charger diesel-electric locomotive has a distinct angled, sleek nose. A fuel-efficient Cummins diesel-electric engine built in the heart of Indiana will power the locomotive with 16 cylinders pumping up to 4,000 horsepower for optimum reliability and consistency. The lightweight engine is certified to meet the ultra-low emissions required by EPA Tier 4 standards, with additional benefits including reduced noise and excellent response.
Brightline trains are built as integrated trainsets, comprised of two locomotives and four high quality stainless steel passenger cars. The integration improves ride quality and makes for a much quieter ride. There will be a bright yellow locomotive on each end, for high reliability and redundancy. The locomotives will also feature an ergonomic cab design for the train's engineers. The trains can be extended to include up to 10 passenger cars as the system and ridership grows.
Accommodating All Travelers
Brightline is the first fully accessible train, exceeding ADA compliance standards and addressing the needs of guests by providing end to end mobility for all travelers. To do this, Brightline trains feature level boarding, utilizing retractable platforms that are integrated into the train car door systems. Prior to the doors opening, the platforms will extend up to 12 inches from the train and pivot to create a flush surface for passengers to cross, making it easy for those with mobility challenges, pushing strollers or luggage to board Brightline.
Once onboard, guests will find Brightline aisles are 32 inches, wider than any other train, providing ample space for wheelchairs and strollers to easily glide throughout the coach with access to all areas, including the restrooms. Interior vestibule doors will also slide open and close automatically.
Intuitive Interiors
Within the passenger coach cars, Brightline has placed an emphasis on comfort and convenience. Custom-designed, ergonomic leather seats are up to 21 inches wide with in-seat recline and are spaced to provide ample leg room. Corresponding tables feature individual retractable trays for holding drinks and devices. Power outlets including USB connections are built into seats (both under the armrests and in the seat pedestals) and in tables (pop-up style units), so that guests will have easy access to power whenever needed. Large windows have been designed and aligned with all seats to offer unobstructed scenic views. High ceilings and open luggage shelves create a welcoming and inviting ambiance.
Brightline will offer a range of different seating arrangements in two product offerings: Smart and Select. With both options, riders will be able to reserve specific seats when booking tickets through Brightline's mobile application, website or station kiosks. Seats will be offered as single or doubles, along with quad arrangements where double seats face each other with a table in between. Riders can choose their configuration based on their travel needs. Each product will offer a range of amenities and pricing. Riders will also be able to add additional items such as parking and ground transportation to their booking to further complete their travel experience, making it seamless from door to destination.
Each coach will also include a restroom that has been thoughtfully designed. Spacious restrooms feature universal access and a touchless environment. The sink is integrated into the vanity area that also includes a large back-lit mirror and a faucet that both rinses and dries. Changing tables are recessed into the wall and when opened offer ample space. Hooks for bags and coats have been thoughtfully placed for maximum convenience.
Train Construction Progressing
The trains are being built by nearly 1,000 employees at Siemens 60-acre rail manufacturing hub. Siemens has also developed a robust and diverse base of U.S. rail suppliers to support the next-generation of rail manufacturing for Brightline including components from more than 40 suppliers across 20+ states with additional suppliers still being added. The company will also be providing full service and maintenance for the Brightline trainsets, supporting full-time employment for approximately 70 Siemens and 40 Brightline employees.
The first completed trainset is expected to be delivered to Brightline later this year. Brightline is scheduled to begin service between Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach beginning in mid-2017.

'Black Panther' is officially the biggest superhero movie in U.S. box office history
By Adam Rosenberg 2018-03-24 17:16:32 UTC
We knew it was going to happen, and now it has: This weekend, Black Panther will cement its place as the top-earning superhero movie of all time at the U.S. box office.
The current Friday-Sunday estimate of $16.6 million for Black Panther will bring its cumulative domestic total up to $630.9 million (h/t Deadline). That gives it a small-yet-not-insignificant lead over The Avengers, which ended its May-September, 2012 run with a domestic take of $623.3 million.
SEE ALSO: These actors love playing superheroes
It's still early in the weekend, and Black Panther's estimate is likely to shift in either direction. But there's little chance of the current estimate falling by the $7 million it would take to leave Marvel's latest in second place for one more day.
Black Panther's box office success is all the more noteworthy in the context of the Marvel blockbuster it is poised to unseat. The Avengers was Marvel's first major superhero ensemble effort, and it arrived at precisely the moment the Marvel Cinematic Universe reached peak popularity.
Eleven other MCU releases have come and gone since The Avengers dropped, and not one of them — not even the epic Captain America: Civil War smackdown, which included Spider-Man's MCU debut — came close to #1. The Avengers sequel, Age of Ultron, is the next one down on the list, with a total domestic box office of $459 million.
Black Panther did it. Box office lists don't account for inflation, though the six-year gap separating Marvel's top two box office hits makes that much less of a factor here. Especially since Black Panther is only in its sixth week of release and its box office bounty is sure to grow.
The big question now is: How long will this record hold?
The next Avengers movie, Infinity War, is only a few weeks away. The Avengers movies have historically been Marvel's biggest box office performers, and this one is sure to benefit from a number of advantages.
For one, it's a story that Marvel has been building up to since pretty much the beginning of the MCU, when the Tesseract was introduced all the way back during the initial "Phase One" wave of releases.
It's also a major ensemble piece, drawing in heroes (and villains!) from virtually every other MCU movie to date. In addition to the allure of seeing more than 40 familiar faces duking it out on screen, Infinity War benefits from bringing in moviegoers from all corners of MCU fandom.
By extension, Infinity War only benefits from its proximity to Black Panther's release. Even putting aside the far-reaching cultural impact of its majority-black cast and thematically relevant storyline, its critical and commercial success overall represents a high point for the MCU. That wave alone should carry Infinity War to a massive box office.

I also wanted a different kind of kitchen in this house and decided to think outside of the box when it came to colors and kitchen decorating themes.
I went down to the home centers and noticed how much kitchen cabinets were described as "kitchen furniture" with a hefty price tag to boot. I wanted that upscale look without the inflated price tag. I also wanted strong cabinets that would last, which meant site built cabinets, which were made with real wood, not particle board and glue.
Although I have never been to Italy, I love the look of the Tuscan countryside and Italian style colors and embellishments on fine kitchen furniture. So I wondered what I could do to emulate that feel and look on a budget.
unique. I also wanted my kitchen decorating to be warm and inviting, not contrived and plastic. The kind of kitchen people walked into, and don't want to leave.
it sets the tone for the whole room. I wanted something warm and chose a Tuscan cream color for my cabinets set against black appliances, and black metal swirl doorknobs.
My husband and I love vineyards, so we wanted the look of grape vines swirling around the crown of the room as though they were growing up there. (Nobody knows that we didn't have the budget to place crown molding up there, so we put up the wide wallpaper border instead.) As it turns out, there is a faint Tuscan cream color in the grapevine border that matches the cabinets perfectly. I have had so many people tell me the look is really upscale.
We took existing breakfast chairs and recovered with a high grade, matching upholstery fabric that I found on a discontinued pile at the fabric shop.
Our trim carpenter was a really neat guy that was more into building rock sturdy cabinetry versus applying fancy embellishments, so I helped out by staining trim pieces that I found at the trim wood store where we bought all of our trim woodwork. I applied these fancy embellishments to my kitchen cabinetry with a tube of wood glue and most people think that our trim carpenter custom routed these pieces, when in fact they came pre-cut. They add a touch of elegance to my site built cabinets.
. there was always some excuse and objection to my plans. I am so grateful that we decided to build our own home!
Oh, and before I forget, you can really save money on kitchen flooring if you shop at one of those discount tile outlets versus your general home center. And if you are willing to put up with a lot of dust and dirt (as I was) go in the back to the discontinued area and pick up gorgeous porcelain tiles (with the color through and through instead of just the surface) for your kitchen decorating flooring. Mine resembles expensive travertine stone, but it's really porcelain ceramic tile. It goes along well with the Tuscan feel of the kitchen and you feel like you should see someone pulling out a pizza from a fire-baked hearth, instead of a modern kitchen. It is a stone gray color that doesn't show dirt with a slate gray grout. I love it! No builder ever gave me such a beautiful floor to be so proud of! Our wishes/preferences were the LAST thing on their list, if they made the list at all!
Go to Curtains to find out what I did for the curtains in the breakfast area. I am pleased as punch!

Q: Android Studio - put a Sound to a PageTurnLayout Library I am building an app which shows a couple of images like a book, so I can swipe to turn the pages using a Library called book-animation https://github.com/briangriffey/book-animation.

Q: Is it possible to remove Snapd with Glib libraries completely without ruining the system? I have just installed Ubuntu MATE 21.10 and discovered two interesting packages which contain snapd in the name - gir1.2-snapd-1 and libsnapd-glib1:
$ dpkg -l | grep snapd
ii  gir1.2-snapd-1:amd64                     1.58-0ubuntu2                       amd64        Typelib file for libsnapd-glib1
ii  libsnapd-glib1:amd64                     1.58-0ubuntu2                       amd64        GLib snapd library

Both came from snapd-glib package.
Removal of them will ruin the system as follows:
$ sudo apt autopurge gir1.2-snapd-1:amd64 libsnapd-glib1:amd64

Is it possible to remove gir1.2-snapd-1 and libsnapd-glib1 packages without ruining the system?

A: These packages are designed to allow applications to communicate with snapd. One accordingly would believe that these packages are not of any use of snapd is not anymore installed. However, in order for an app to be able to communicate with snapd, the app must be compiled with support for these libraries. These libraries thus become a hard dependency of these apps, and must stay on the system even if snapd is removed.
That is the technical reason. However, what functionality (non-snap) applications gain by being able to access snapd is unclear. All descriptions of what the libraries do boil down to

snapd-glib is a library to allow GLib based applications access to
snapd, the daemon that controls Snaps.

Possibly, these are what would allow these apps to access to the Snapd REST API in order to interact with snapd.

A: remove snap
Find installed snaps: snap list
Remove installed snaps: sudo snap remove <package>
Remove snapd: sudo apt purge snapd
Remove snap directory from home:  rm -rf ~/snap
If you receive an error removing snapd then do the following : sudo rm -rf /var/cache/snapd then run sudo apt purge snapd


What does your brand stand for? And what should it stand for in order to be relevant for its target groups? How does your brand differ from the competition? Does it have the potential for growth – and if so, how?
analytically and creatively, with a focus on the origin as well as the future of your brand.
ic! berlin makes unique eyeglasses: Without screws, in the highest quality, always ahead of the trend – and all handmade in Berlin. But new competitors and changing customer behavior are constantly challenging ic! berlin. Brands and companies have to assert themselves in an extremely dynamic environment in order to continue to grow in the future.
Spirit for Brands analysed the brand status: We spoke with dealers, employees and customers on three continents. We consolidated the results and aligned the potential of the brand with the corporate strategy. On this basis we subsequently posed the big questions: Who are we, what do we stand for, where do we want to go? In a two-day management workshop far away from Berlin, the brand identity was jointly redefined 20 years after its founding. With a clear commitment to vision, mission and values, ic! berlin returned to new relevance.
ic! berlin succeeded in putting its identity crisis behind it. The company reoriented and stabilized itself, which opened up new target groups and allowed for new growth.
Vienna International Airport is the most important hub between East and West and has received several awards for its process quality. In order to reach the next level of quality, the brand profile needs to be sharpened and brand awareness strengthened. How can the brand achieve this?
Spirit for Brands supported the airport's brand management team in sharpening the brand positioning and clearly emphasizing the character of the VIE brand. What makes Vienna International Airport unique? It is professionalism and process quality, combined with humanity and Austrian charm. In order to anchor these characteristics and make them tangible, we defined central processes for brand management.
"We chose Spirit for Brands because they can listen, ask the right questions, understand, put an individual solution in a nutshell and convey it very effectively. It's simply nice to work with people who combine concentrated brand knowledge with heart and mind to create a brand."
Berge & Meer has had a successful past. From a pioneer of direct sales, the brand has developed into a provider of high-quality round trips. In light of the new orientation it became necessary to review the previous brand positioning. The central questions for Berge & Meer were: What do we stand for now? And does the brand still support our strategy?
Spirit for Brands analysed the Berge & Meer brand and collected employees' opinions in a number of workshops. On the basis of the results, we revised the brand positioning in line with the new requirements. The new selfimage was also applied to brand communication. An ongoing process of verification ensures the quality of brand management and brand perception.
"With a high level of understanding for strategic branding, Spirit for Brands is an important companion for us in our everyday brand life. We value the direct and open nature of the advice that helps us keep our strategic brand management and communication on track."
CURRENTA offers a broad portfolio of branded services due to its diverse location and supply tasks. Fundamental changes in the business model made it necessary to further develop both the brand positioning and above all the brand strategy in such a way that they support the new business model. The central question here was: Which services are integral to the location, which are additional services that set the brand apart?
Spirit for Brands conducted workshops with company management to work out the consequences of the new business model. The focus here was on the perception of the service offerings from the perspective of the key accounts. This resulted in the strategic separation of location and supply services. On this basis, the brand strategy and visual appearance were adapted to the new circumstances.
"A new corporate strategy always has an effect on the brand strategy and the brand image. Spirit for Brands has helped us anchor the consequences of a new strategic orientation credibly and comprehensibly in our brand strategy and brand communication".
Zarinfar is an owner-managed, regionally active construction management company that has grown tremendously in recent years. Now Zarinfar is approaching the next stage of development – from construction management to consultancy with inter-regional relevance. The task: How can the brand support this next development step? How can the founding spirit and spirit of the brand be communicated and exemplified to the ever-increasing workforce?
In a first step, we develop the existing brand positioning further in all relevant areas and supplemented it with cornerstones of the corporate strategy and culture. In order for employees not only to understand the new positioning, but also to become brand ambassadors, the results were summarized in a "Brand on a Page" steering tool and communicated to the employees. At the same time, the steering tool was integrated into the central processes of the company.
"A clear strategy is very important as the rational backbone for the development of our company. A clear positioning of our brand as the heart and soul of the company is indispensable for credible communication.
Spirit for Brands has helped us a lot through a long-term branding process to sharpen and manage our brand in line with our goals."

Megaplex: Empty on beginning of long weekend (also "Jobs" already gone)
Okay, what was playing at the megaplex this long weekend was mostly dumb stuff. Think vampires bundled with too much action. But still there were top-rated films like "The Butler" and "Blue Jasmine." Yet, the place was just about empty. At the showing of "The Grandmaster," about Chinese martial arts, there were about seven people in the audience. "Jobs" had already gone. That meant that there weren't enough folks around passionate about films who would see it just to deconstruct its flaws.
Netflix only charges about $10 monthly for all kinds of goodies. And AMC on cable provides brilliance like "Breaking Bad." Also, there are video games, Facebook friends to keep up with, and LinkedIn communities to participate in.
Am I showing my age with my movie habit? I love to go out, to the movies, and belly up to the concession stand. When I was a little girl my father, who worked the night shift, would take me to the Palace movie house in Jersey City, New Jersey and stay awake long enough to make sure there was nothing in the film which would scare me. On Saturdays the Palace would have double features, and cartoons. My older sister, her girlfriends, and tag-along me would sit through the double features and cartoons twice.
Someday I fear there will be no more stand-alone movie houses. The megaplex in Orange, Connecticut already shut down. The one in New Haven, CT is barely holding on. The "regulars" are Baby Boomers. And, unless it's a hit film, only a handful of us will be in the audience.
I got over the institution of the daily newspaper being delivered. Well almost. I still do the print THE NEW YORK TIMES on Sundays. Will I adjust to not going to the movies? That's been a habit since I was four years old.

However, I have realized the futility in scanning artbooks, as I cannot scan my artbooks without ruining the spine--some of the books were very expensive and very hard to come by. The same with the manga. I also have a lot of issues wth: direct linkers, bing and google image searches. So I'm going to find some other way to work on these things. Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

'They have to do it': Some say federal government must provide more medical supplies to fight coronavirus
Does the federal government need to do more to produce more medical supplies to fight the coronavirus? Opinions differ.
MARLBOROUGH – Bing Yeo, owner of AFC Urgent Care, said his medical facility on Boston Post Road (Rte. 20) could run out of coronavirus testing kits and personal protective equipment for nurses in only a few few days.
"Anything government officials can do to provide (supplies) and safety, they have to do it," Yeo said.
Bing estimated that his nurses conducted 150 COVID-19 tests in the past week at his drive-up location, resulting in less than a handful of positive cases. But he's noticed a spike in testing over the past several days, and worries about future inventory.
Some state governors and attorneys general, including Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, have called on President Donald Trump to put the Defense Production Act into action to ramp up production of much-needed medical supplies.
The legislation, approved by Congress during the Korean War, gives a president the power to require companies to produce goods and services in times of critical national defense.
On Thursday, Trump ordered General Motors to make ventilators under the Act, just hours after criticizing the company for not acting quickly enough to produce the supplies amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Business representatives and a college professor who spoke the Daily News suggested that it's not necessary for Trump to put the act into play, because private business is already stepping up.
"Our view is a big (legislative) hammer is not really needed at this point," said Christopher Geehern, spokesman at the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, a statewide business advocacy group.
Its organization includes 3,500 members statewide, including Hazen Paper Co. in Holyoke, which has been in operation for 95 years.
Hazen is using chemicals in its existing production, including ethanol, to manufacture a disinfectant that is "a little runnier (than some hand sanitizers on the market), but it still works," said John Hazen, the company's president. When it's ready, the disinfectant will be donated.
Another product in the works at Hazen Paper is a protective poncho for emergency responders.
Lawrence-based 99Degrees Custom Inc., also an AIM member, is retooling its operation to make protective equipment for the medical community, according to the company's website.
Hazen acknowledged there's a gap between supply and demand when it comes to personal protective equipment, including masks and respirators. But he doesn't support putting the Defense Production Act into play at this time.
"I'm surprised how quickly the manufacturing sector has been retooling," Hazen said. "My general inclination is the Act doesn't need to be enacted at this point."
Shortage of supplies
Local hospitals are also experiencing a shortage of supplies.
On Friday, Milford Regional Medical Center issued an alert that its greatest needs include surgical procedure masks with elastic ear loops; N95 masks and face shields approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; isolation gowns; and swabs for collecting nasal secretions.
Earlier in the week, MetroWest Medical Center Chief Executive officer Andrew Harding asked the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce if any of its members could donate supplies.
"Your community hospital needs you and your resources now," Harding wrote in his email to the chamber.
'Little skeptical'
Willy Shih, professor of management practice at Harvard Business School, said he's skeptical over whether the government knows more about leading the effort to increase production, as opposed to business leaders.
There are also logistical, distribution and regulatory challenges that make immediate delivery of needed supplies a challenge, according to Shih.
From everything he's seen and heard, Shih said companies with the capacity to step in and help are already doing it.
"I've not seen anyone sloughing off here," Shih said.
Developing big-picture strategies for allocating supplies may have some benefit, Shih said. He mentioned those in the best position to do it could be the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Shih pointed to another problem related to the availability of medical supplies – people hoarding them.
"People shouldn't think only about themselves. It's about the community at-large, sharing, and understanding the needs of the community," he said.
Yeo temporarily closed his Natick urgent care center in order to consolidate supplies in Marlborough, where there is a drive-up testing area in a parking lot behind the building for patients who display symptoms of the coronavirus.
Supplies were also concentrated in Marlborough to prevent cross contamination, as Ming said his two facilities share equipment.
Patients are screened by an AFC Urgent Care doctor through video-conference, and those who display symptoms are tested in the parking lot. A nurse in full personal protective gear, including a gown, gloves and mask, administers the test.
But to keep the testing going, Bing said he needs more supplies, and it's up to the government to help.
"Anything the government has to do, it has a responsibility to do it," Bing said.

Putting policy front and centre at Edith Cowan University
Records Management is never as easy to sell as it probably should be. The staff at Edith Cowan University (ECU) engaged the services of Information Proficiency to centralise management of policy documents, demonstrating the benefits of a centralised repository.
In a quest to improve the user experience in searching for University policy, statutes, by-laws, and rules, the migration to a HPE Records Manager (RM) solution has also reduced duplication of documentation and processes across the University.
In addition, the centralisation of policy document storage has generated significant savings in cloud storage costs by consolidating multiple versions and duplication.
In 2016 the University had begun a transition from local servers the cloud. As a part of this process a legacy web content server, was identified by IT as having content that would be too hard to pick apart and migrate to the new cloud based environment.
Policies and procedures stored in a MYSQL Database had to be exported somewhere that would provide centralised administration of access and be searchable on the ECU intranet and the public Web. The collection of policies that need to be made available not only to ECU staff, but also ECU students and the greater public.
"There were quite a lot of variables and considerations to be taken into account in the development of this new environment," said Luke Burns, Records Coordinator, Edith Cowan University.
"Most importantly for Records was that HPE RM (initially implemented as ECU's EDRMS) be the repository for the storage of the policies. The Office of Governance Services wanted a simpler interface that still ticked all their functionality boxes, and resulted in a better experience that guaranteed access for ECU staff, students and the greater community.
"Beyond that, there were University style guides and accessibility mandates to be considered. To that end IT & the Records team discussed options and subsequently engaged Information Proficiency to help devise a solution that would satisfy the requirements of all stakeholders and diversify HPRM's positions as a business tool within the University."
ECU had 172 Policies that needed to be exposed, not just internally but externally on the Internet. These policies were created and managed by 14 different departments of the University, which were then distributed via the Web.
It was each department's responsibility to update their own documents and ensure that the latest version was made available on the website. As each department had its own way to store and develop these documents – it tended to cause the issue of outdated policy information being made available to the students, staff and public.
"ECU already uses HPE RM quite extensively in their environment – so it was logical step for us to suggest that Policy Data to be captured in Records Manager. This would then make it managed data – allowing for the ECU Records Team to take ownership and provide the University single place to reference these documents from" said Ben Brown, Software Engineer, Information Proficiency.
Once the policies were imported into HPRM with related metadata, a decision had to be made how best to expose them to ECU students, staff and general public.
HPE RM provides a few methods to achieve this – either via SharePoint, WebClient, ServiceAPI or WebServices. Information Proficiency opted to use WebDrawer as part of the solution, which is included in the RM base license package minimising the cost and leveraging the existing investment made by ECU. WebDrawer also limits users to only view and download documents making it an ideal platform for exposing data.
ECU wanted a google-like search experience, which is not available out of the box with HPRM WebDrawer. The default search interface is a series of three search dialog boxes that can be joined with a AND/OR clauses.
ECU did not want any drops downs, tickboxes or additional options to confuse their users.
This was able to achieved by creating a custom face plate that sat in front of HPRM WebDrawer and presented the user with a single search bar that they could type into, and then either press enter, or the search button to execute their search.
WebDrawer pulls results directly from the HPRM Database – this means that the results will always be the latest version/revision of the document. So, in the future the policy owners only need to update this document in a single place and not have to worry about outdated versions being displayed on the webpage.
Since moving to a cloud provider, ECU's IT department has become very aware of just how much storage was actually costing them every month. Documents were often being saved across many different spaces – shared drives, web server, HPRM, desktops and the like – meaning that ECU was paying to store the same document two, three or more times.
An added benefit of the policy storage being centralised with HPRM that this data now being managed and included in the ECU Maintenance and Backup plans run by their IT Department.
"Perhaps the biggest win from an RM perspective was that we managed to show the diversity and potential of HPE Records Manager," said ECU's Luke Burns.
"The project created an environment where documents stored in HPE RM can be made available quickly and easily to anyone interested in viewing them. Solutions like the ones created by Information Proficiency for the ECU policy database are excellent examples to show users, to show them the depth of the system and its potential, to work to make HPE RM a part of people's working day."
This simple search box at http://policysearch.ecu.edu.au/WebDrawer.PolicySearch/Search is complemented by options to view the A-Z policy database listing, or distinguish between statutes, by-laws, rules or policies in isolation. Finally, there are some links to FAQs, contacts and information about the area that supports Policy publication.

When patients inquire about facelifts, there are a lot of concerns regarding the procedure. And rightfully so, doing any work to the face can be a very nerve-wracking experience. It's the first thing that people see, so you want to make sure if you're getting the procedure done, that it's done right.
With that said, there are a lot of scary myths out there that have given the facelift a bad rep. We break them all down below and show you why this cosmetic procedure isn't as scary or invasive as it's meant to be.
This is a common myth surrounding most plastic surgery procedures but it's simply not true. While women continue to take the cake for seeking out the most cosmetic procedures, there's a growing number of men getting them as well, and this includes facelifts. In the last two decades alone, the number of men going in for cosmetic procedures have tripled and those numbers show no signs of declining anytime soon.
There's a common misconception that facelifts are reserved for older patients when in reality, younger patients can qualify for the procedure as well. As soon as any patient starts to see signs of aging on their face, they're able to inquire about the benefits of a facelift. Because of the sophistication of the procedure, there are subtle ways to lift the face and provide age-defying results in younger patients without looking too drastic.
If you're interested but think you might be too young for a facelift, don't hesitate to call the McLean clinic today to set up a consultation. They'll assess your situation and let you know if now is the right time for you. If not, they'll be happy to recommend other procedures that can give the desired results you're looking for.
Many patients worry that the results of a facelift will look unnatural. Many fear that the loose skin around their face will be pulled too far back, creating this unnatural tightness around it. Botched jobs like this are possible when patients go to inexperienced plastic surgeons. This is why it's always important to do your homework before booking a procedure to help avoid situations like this. When done properly, a facelift not only sheds years off your face but the results look natural too.
Contrary to popular belief, the recovery time for a facelift is quite short. In fact, patients are able to bounce back within 1-2 weeks of recovery as opposed to months which is what many tend to believe. The recovery period isn't long or strenuous and any discomfort can be treated with regular pain medication. For the best results, patients are asked to keep their head elevated as much as possible and asked to avoid any strenuous activity until given the green light by their surgeon. Besides that, patients can expect to go back to their regular routine within a few short weeks of their procedure.
Saying there's one type of facelift implies that there's only one type of face, and obviously, this can't be true as everybody's face is different. Every face has unique characteristics about them, from the symmetry to the overall structure. When performing a facelift, the nips and tucks are based on the face's current structure to help ensure that everything that's done, compliments that facial shape. Making sure that every facelift is catered to the individual helps ensure that results look natural. If surgeons performed facelifts the same way for everyone, results wouldn't be as satisfactory and the procedure wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is.
It's true, there are a lot of incredible non-invasive face procedures on the market right now. Thanks to the technological innovation in the industry, your face can see a lot of impressive results without going under the knife.
With that said, no matter how much work you get gone — there's only so much these procedures can do. And depending on the results you want to see, getting a facelift may be the only thing that can fulfill those aesthetic desires for you.
During your consultation at McLean Clinic, their talented team will sit down with you and go over the desired results you're looking for. Based on that, they'll walk you through the different facial procedures available at their clinic, both surgical and nonsurgical, and see which one is best for you.
