Agartala, (IANS) For a party which once dominated the political landscape in India's northeast, the Congress is today struggling to survive in the sprawling region, comprising eight states.
The defection of six Congress legislators in Tripura to the Trinamool Congress — which has reduced the party to the third spot in the state assembly — is the latest jolt the country's oldest party has suffered in the northeast.
Only last month, the Congress lost political control of Assam, the biggest state in the region, to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is confident of expanding its wings in the region — in contrast to the feeble future the Congress stares at.
"Organisational weakness and lack of leadership have seen the Congress in a bad shape in the northeastern states including Tripura," political analyst and writer Sanjib Deb told IANS.
"After the BJP captured power for the first time in Assam, keeping this victory as a milestone, the party is in a jubilant mood in all the eight northeastern states and aims to step up its activities in the region," Deb told IANS.
Earlier, in mid-February, the Congress government was toppled in Arunachal Pradesh. Rebel Congress legislator Kalikho Pul ousted Nabam Tuki to became Chief Minister with the support of 31 MLAs, including 18 dissident Congress members, 11 of the BJP and two independents.
Fearing a similar rebellion, Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma reportedly wrote to Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi warning against "black sheep" in the state unit who are apparently in touch with BJP leaders.
And, after Tripura, it was the BJP's turn to gave a political blow to the Congress in its Manipur bastion.
In the June 2 elections to the politically important Imphal Municipal Corporation the Congress won 15 of the 27 seats and the BJP 10, while ndependents won two seats. The BJP has just one councillor in the outgoing Congress-led corporation.
In northeast India today, Assam is ruled by the BJP, Tripura by the CPI-M dominated Left Front, Sikkim by the Sikkim Democratic Front, Nagaland by the Naga People's Front-led Democratic Alliance of Nagaland and Arunachal by a rebel Congress and BJP coalition while the Congress rules the remaining three states — Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram.
Just six months ago, the Congress was in the saddle in five northeastern states — Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram.
With a population of 45.58 million, the northeast accounts for 25 Lok Sabha seats and 498 assembly seats.
Of the 25 seats, the BJP and its allies got 10 in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress secured eight seats. In the 2009 polls, the Congress and its allies had held 14 seats, while the BJP and its allies managed to win six.
Of the BJP's eight Lok Sabha members from the northeast, seven are from Assam and one from Arunachal Pradesh.
Muslim leader and industrialist Badruddin Ajmal's All India United Democratic Front has three Lok Sabha members from Assam, Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has two in Tripura while National People's Party (NPP) in Meghalaya, Naga People's Front (NPF) and Sikkim Democratic Front have one seats each.
The NPP, founded by late parliamentarian and former Lok Sabha speaker P.A. Sangma and Nagaland's NPF are partners of the BJP.
The electoral alliance between the Left Front led by CPI-M and the Congress for the West Bengal assembly polls had badly hit Tripura's key opposition, the Congress, vertically splitting its legislature group.
According to political analyst Sekhar Datta, the Congress seems to be well on course to "political irrelevance" in its once most-poweful domain — the northeastern region.
"The debacle in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and the series of political initiatives taken by the BJP have led to the Congress yielding ground in major portions of the region," Datta said.
The Congress was the preferred political choice among the people of the region since independence and through the creation of a host of separate states, he said.
"There was a time when the people of the northeast, especially the vast multitude of tribals, could connect with the Nehrus and Gandhis — Jawaharlal, Indira and Rajiv — but that has been lost. Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have never really been able to step into the shoes of their ancestors," Datta, also a renowned writer, concluded.

When Will Zac Efron's Ted Bundy Movie Be Out?
The Wait For Zac Efron's Ted Bundy Movie Will Probably Be A Long One
Martha Sorren

UPDATE: This story was originally published January 24, 2019 at 3:00 PM.
There are some true crime cases the public will never lose interest in, which is why it's not surprising that two Ted Bundy-themed projects are premiering in the same month. Netflix's docuseries Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes drops on Jan. 24 and the Zac Efron Ted Bundy movie premiered Jan. 26 at the Sundance Film Festival. But for those of you not in Utah (see: most of you) who want to see Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, you'll have to wait until Netflix releases the Bundy biopic. The streaming giant picked up the film for $9 million with the intent to give the film an "awards season run" according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That means the film probably won't drop to the public until Fall 2019. The delay is pretty par for the course because, generally, when movies premiere at Sundance it can take anywhere from four to 11 months before they are released in theaters for audiences across the nation. Last year's festival did see one movie get a wide release in just a few weeks, but that's because it was picked up by Netflix before the festival.
Original story follows.
Until it officially becomes available to everyone, Efron fans and true crime consumers can tide themselves over with these details:
It Won't Be Told From Bundy's Perspective
According to Deadline, the movie is told from the point-of-view of Bundy's ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, who didn't know that Bundy was committing heinous crimes and then coming home to her. (Bundy was executed in 1989 for several murders, but confessed to upwards of 30.)
In 1981, Kloepfer wrote a memoir of her time with Bundy under the pseudonym Elizabeth Kendall. It was titled The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy. It likely provided great source material for screenplay writer Michael Werwie to get inside her head and show a new perspective of Bundy.
Efron Isn't The Only Big Name In The Cast
Efron is playing Bundy and Lily Collins plays play Elizabeth, per Deadline. Variety reported that Kaya Scodelario plays Bundy's wife Carole Boone, whom he married during his death sentence hearing. Per Variety, the cast is rounded out by stars like John Malkovich who is playing the judge, Jim Parsons as lead prosecutor, and Haley Joel Osment as a detective.
Efron Claims The Movie Doesn't Glorify Bundy
"He wasn't a person to be glorified," Efron told Entertainment Tonight in March. "It simply tells a story and sort of how the world was able to be charmed over by this guy who was notoriously evil and the vexing position that so many people were put in, the world was put in."
There Are Lots Of Set Photos Out There Already
The actor's been giving fans an inside look at the Bundy movie for months, including several movie stills and a video that shows his transformation from Efron to Bundy.
The Director Is A True Crime Expert
Joe Berlinger is known for his work on true crime documentaries. He was also an executive producer on Netflix's Ted Bundy docuseries, so he knows this case inside and out.
The Title Comes From Ted Bundy's Sentencing
When the judge announced that Bundy would receive the death penalty for his crimes, he didn't hesitate to call Bundy out. The judge's full statement is aired in the finale of the Netflix series as follows:
"The court finds that both of these killings were indeed heinous, atrocious, and cruel and that they were extremely wicked, shockingly evil, vile and the product of a design to inflict a high degree of pain and utter indifference to human life."
More details about the movie will likely emerge after its Sundance premiere. And with these two projects kicking off 2019's true crime wave, it's possible Bundy's story will be a prevailing topic for future true crime series, the way 2016 featured several TV specials about OJ Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey, 2017 had multiple series about the Menendez Brothers, and 2018 was all about The Staircase and Making a Murderer Season 2. Public interest in the Bundy case was naturally intense in the '80s, and the current true crime phase is likely to keep this renewed fascination with his case high as we head into the rest of 2019.

Unfortunately they're rather uncomfortable to sit on bare so I took some more of the same fabric I use for everything, tore apart a throw pillow of an acceptable size (to use as a guide) and spent a week sewing these cushions. Yes, a week.
I used a handheld sewing machine, complete with thread that snapped at every hit of the silver pattern (a thick, almost rubbery overlay), cotton batting and a lot of Stephen King on .mp3 time. Then I took some fabric scraps and made tiny little "lower back" pillows which look like clutch purses and serve no purpose other than to make me smile. This was the first time I'd sewn anything more complicated than a button since grade school Home Ec so I'm happy with the results!
The half cushions for these chairs are cheapest on eBay for $69 while the full sized are $179. Eventually I'd love to own the full sized ones but I don't want to dedicate that much money to a cover without being positive of the color choice.
Ooooh, I love the fabric! Way to persevere with a handheld sewing machine! My patience would have given out the second time the thread snapped.
The pillows are a great addition to the chairs. They really do soften the look. Nice job.
Great find! You saved a bundle. The pillows look great! Love the little lumbar pillows, nice touch.
You got an amazing deal. I love the modern lines.
Those turned out great, and what fun fabric and chairs!
You got a great deal. They look good.
This is my first time to your blog. I hope you will come for a visit.
You did a super job ! Love the fabric you chose !
p.s. thanks for visiting my blog !
Very nice! What fun chairs and pillows!


Pre-K is a time to explore and inquire about the world around us. We use hands-on learning as a method for the children to develop their skills throughout the curriculum. Our goal is to give them the skills they will need in order to be successful in Kindergarten.
The topics covered include letter recognition, letter sounds, rhyming skills, syllables, and reading comprehension.
Math topics covered in pre-k include, patterning, sorting, number values, number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, counting orally, shapes, and measuring.
Science topics covered include problem solving skills, critical thinking, cause and effect, the five senses, and scientific experiments.
Social Studies topics include environmental explorations, while also recognizing their responsibilty as members of a classroom.
The art room is a hub of creativity. All lessons begin with an artist study or study of a technique or style. Then students create work in that style. Students work in a variety of mediums including tempera paint, watercolor, acrylics, oil pastels, pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, and clay.
In younger grades, students spend time practicing their fine motor skills in cutting, drawing, and painting with large brushes. As students grow, they begin fine tuning their work by adding creative details and using more sophisticated tools to express their art. Over time, students are able to begin focusing on the elements of art and learn specific techniques.
The goal of the art program is to instill life-long knowledge, skills, and techniques that can be built upon in developing a true sense of appreciation for art for years to come.
Our Christian Education program meets with all students once per week. During class the children learn about the liturgy, Sacraments, prayer, bible verses, and much more! Our lessons follow the liturgical calendar of the church. Monthly we focus on a different virtue such as thankfulness, truthfulness, kindness, and patience. The Guidance Counselor and I collaborate on these virtues so that the students learn about them from a Christian perspective and a social perspective.
Our Christian Education program is designed so that the Pre-K 3 through Kindergarten students receive a basic introduction into the topics covered all the way through 5th Grade but every year we build upon what is previously learned.
Our lessons follow the Liturgical Calendar and include prayers, Parables of Jesus, parts of the Bible/Bible navigation, Miracles of Jesus, and Old Testament study. We also focus on one virtue per month and the School Counselor and I collaborate so that she teaches it from a social perspective and I teach it from a Christian perspective.
The school counseling program cultivates and encourages the academic, personal/social, and career development of each child, as well as supports every students' unique gifts through classroom guidance lessons, individual counseling, and small group counseling.
The Guidance curriculum works in conjunction with the Christian Education curriculum to teach monthly virtues to the students. These virtues are part of the program "Creating Classrooms and Homes of Virtue". The guidance aspect of these lessons focuses on the social aspect behind each virtue. Some of the virtues that are covered are goodness, tolerance, perseverance, and thankfulness, among many others.
In Pre-K 3 through Kindergarten students learn about kindness, acceptance, tolerance, and being proud of who they are. The lessons of self-esteem and self-respect are important to teach at this young age because forging this strong foundation early gives the students more confidence to face challenges that will arise as they move through elementary, middle, high school, and higher education.
The library is a dynamic, exciting place for exploration, reading, thinking, learning, creating, growing, showcasing student work, and coding on the iPad. The library strives to meet and exceed the expectations of the students, parents and faculty by ensuring a balanced, up-to-date collection of print and non-print resources are available for in-school and home use. Our library follows the professional standards of the American Library Association (ALA) for library instruction and collection development.
Music at St. James Episcopal Day School is to provide our students with an opportunity to create and respond to music expressively. They will experience a variety of musical styles and genres through performance, technology, imitation and movement in the classroom. Children are taught the basics of music theory along with the works of great composers. It is our hope that they will discover the value and enjoyment of music.
Physical Education is more than recess and a time to play. It is a time for learning. One of my primary goals as a physical educator at St. James is to teach every child how and why they should keep themselves healthy and fit throughout their lifetime. Our physical education program provides developmentally appropriate learning experiences that teach children how to be physically active in ways that foster creativity and self-expression, increase physical competence and self-esteem, and promote joy through lifelong physical activity.
Our physical education curriculum includes a balance of body management, locomotor movement, manipulative skills, and rhythms/dance experiences. These units are designed to enhance the cognitive, motor, affective, and physical fitness development of every child in a safe learning environment.
We provide experiences that encourage children to question, integrate, analyze, communicate, and apply cognitive concepts.
Activities are taught throughout the year that allow children the opportunity to work together to improve their emerging social and cooperation skills, thereby fostering an understanding of themselves and the acceptance of others.
On-going fitness assessments are used to help children understand, enjoy, improve, and/or maintain their physical health and well-being.
Class activities designed for maximum student participation, success, and fun.
The Spanish program exposes our students to a world language, providing them with basic receptive and expressive language skills needed to communicate in Spanish as well as respect for other cultures. Physical response activities are used for the students to listen to and carry out spoken commands in a safe and fun environment, where the students feel free to take risks and participate.
Students learn songs, basic numbers, colors, shapes, opposites, animals, food, clothes, and transportation.
STEM Education at St. James Episcopal Day School is an approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content of skills of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM behaviors include engagement in inquiry, logical reasoning, collaboration, and investigation. St. James students will participate in STEM activities that are inquiry-based, that involve teamwork, and that involve collaboration.
Pre-K 4 students discussed types of lines. Students also discussed shape and created concentric circles in the style of Wassily Kandinsky on small canvases, which will be auctioned off at this year's Spring Soiree: Gala & Silent Auction. Finally, students created a self portrait using sharpie and paint.
We have been learning about animals of the Bible. The children have heard the story of Creation, Adam & Eve and Noah but all from the perspective of the animals or how the stories relate to the animals.
In Pre-K 4 the students read books about different tools that are used in jobs and careers. After the story, they drew pictures of what they want to be when they grow up. Students wanted to be firefighters, doctors, ballerinas, moms, and dads. The students used puppets to share their pictures with the class.
The first nine weeks in the library was filled with learning and fun. Our Pre-K 4 students learned about the parts of a book including the front cover, back cover, spine, and call number. Ask your child to tell you about the author and illustrator of the book. All of our students were wowed by the wonderful library update! We are so blessed to have such a fresh and renewed facility. If you haven't stopped by to check out the remodeled library please do so soon!
Please mark your calendars for the book fair November 12-17, 2017.
Pre-K 4 learned that sometimes music is loud and sometimes music is soft. The music word for loud is forte and the music word for soft is piano. We listened to Vivaldi's Fall and could identify when it was soft and when it was loud. We loved moving our bodies to the beat.
Pre-K 4 has been busy learning and reviewing basic locomotor skills, such as galloping, skipping, jumping and hopping. We have played lots of tag games and have even had an obstacle course as we explored different levels and pathways. During Dot Week, we practiced bouncing balls on different colored spots, and played a fun game called Frogger, counting jumps from lily pad to lily pad.
Recently we have been exploring non-locomotor skills, such as balancing, twisting, and bending as students take turns rolling a die and we try to balance our bodies on the floor using different body parts. We are also learning how to underhand toss. By keeping our bodies still, we can move our throwing arm like the pendulum of a grandfather clock. We are practicing our colors by tossing bean bags into matching hula hoop targets. "Bring Your Parent to P.E. Week" was a lot of fun too!
Pre-K 4 is learning greetings, numbers, and colors. They love to sing "La Canción de los Números" (The Numbers song) and "Buenos Dias" (Good Morning).
During the first nine weeks the Pre-K 4 classes had a great deal of fun learning about the planets. They were very excited to go into the Star Lab. We have been discussing the life cycle of a butterfly, and we learned that the Monarchs are preparing for their journey to Mexico.
Pre-K artists worked on their special mixed media piece for the upcoming art show. The theme is "St. James on Broadway" and their work is inspired by The Lion King! Prepare to be impressed! They also had fun mixing primary colors to make secondary colors for their pumpkins and their green monsters.
We have been busy! We learned about the virtues: Perseverance, Thankfulness, and Faith. The children have also learned about All Saint's Day, Baptism, the Liturgical Calendar, St. Nicholas, and the season of Advent. We discussed Advent wreaths and the Nativity.
In Pre-K 4 the students read the story "Angel Pig and the Hidden Christmas." The lesson of the story is about the true meaning of Christmas. The students were asked what they thought the true meaning of Christmas was, and discussed that it is not about money and gifts, but so much more. It was a great discussion about family and Jesus!
The Wild Wild West book fair was a huge success! The book fair allows all students to shop for books and learn how to calculate tax when shopping. They had to be smart with their money! The 4th grade students helped make wish lists with Pre-K 4 little buddies.
Pre-K 4 students have been busy learning their songs for church. They did a wonderful job singing in front of everyone. We have also been learning that music can be high and low. Each student had a xylophone and we played high notes and low notes together.
Pre-K 4 has been busy exploring how to balance and move their bodies on scooters! We have learned how to sit, kneel, and lie down on the scooter. We have practiced going forward, backwards and around, and around, and around!
We have also been working on tracking and catching objects in their air. First we tried catching scarves or "leaves". Next we learned how to use launch boards by stepping on the end so that a bean bag came up in the air!
Pre-K 4 learned to identify five basic shapes and to name some parts of the body in Spanish. They are learning some opposites like "rápido/lento" (fast/slow) and "grande/pequeño" (big/small).
bows have been a hit in Pre-K 4. It has been amazing to watch them build a cross or a candy cane out of the bows.
Pre-K Artists learned about negative and positive space by watercoloring on top of tape in the shape of their first initial. Students also learned about warm and cool colors and used warm colors to thumbprint paint around the letters spelling LOVE. Finally students drew and painted a beautiful butterfly to get ready for spring!
Pre-K 4: We have been busy! The children have learned about the seasons of Epiphany and Lent on the Liturgical Calendar. They have learned that during these times we hear stories of when Jesus' identity as the son of God was revealed to the world. How people realized that Jesus was not just an ordinary person but that he was extraordinary. We discussed the story of Jesus lost at the Temple and the miracles of His baptism, His time in the wilderness and the temptation of Satan, Jesus feeding the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water.
In Pre-K 4 we read books about feelings. The students had so much fun listening to the different stories about Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear (from the movie Inside Out). When we were finished reading the stories, the students picked their favorite characters and we talked about why they were a favorite. Interestingly, many of the students liked anger and disgust the most, probably because they were the funniest in the books! We all had fun discussing feelings and understanding that all feelings work together. The students learned that it is ok to feel all of those feelings sometimes, but we all agreed feeling joyful makes us the happiest!
The 3rd 9 weeks started off with themes of hibernation. The kids explored the parts of a bear's day in Old Bear by Kevin Henkes. A Rainbow of my Own by Don Freeman allowed us to explore the different colors of the rainbow and discuss our favorite colors. We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday by reading My Many Colored Days. The children were excited to bring home library books and share their thoughts on the stories.
In PE, we have been learning how to 'strike' with our hands using balloons. We have learned that it is important to use a soft touch because the balloon is light. We have also learned to use our fingerpads on our hands and to keep our palms up while we hit. Games have included independent practice by trying to keep our balloons in the air using different body parts, and partner practice playing a fun game called Categories. Coach Chandler calls out a category and we name things in that category each time we hit the balloon back and forth.
We have also been working on learning how to skip and hop. Skipping is a difficult locomotor skill to master because it requires use of both sides of our brain. It is an important locomotor skill to work on because it helps us become better readers!
Pre-K 4 learned to identify and name parts of the body and some animals like perro (dog), vaca (cow), pájaro (bird), oso (bear), gato (cat), pato (duck), and pollito (chicken).
Our Pre-k4 classes really liked making snow paint. We mixed shaving cream and white glue together to create a mixture. They were so excited to see that their paintings were puffy. One of their favorite things to do this nine weeks was to use play dough to create numbers and shapes. Their engineering designs using toothpicks and marshmallows are always amazing!
The children have learned about the seasons of Lent and Easter on the Liturgical Calendar. The children learned about the events of Holy Week. We also learned about parables and how Jesus used parables to teach us what the Kingdom of Heaven is like and lessons about God. The students heard the parables of the Good Shepherd, The Sower and the Seeds, and The Wise and Foolish Builders. Students also learned about the Resurrection and Jesus' breakfast with His disciples. We finished the Nine Weeks with a lesson on Pentecost.
The students in PreK4 are busy preparing their song for church. We have been using various rhythm instruments to keep the beat. We discussed how music is made from vibration and used the triangle as an example.
In the 4th quarter, the Pre-K 3 and 4 year olds learned about pedestrian and bike safety for our Safety Town event in April. As pedestrians, they learned basic safety rules, such as crossing the street with someone older, and stopping at the curb that separates a safe area from a dangerous area.
As drivers, on balance bikes, they learned basic road signs, and why it is important to wear a bike helmet. Practicing their biking techniques on our Balance Bikes was fun but challenging. It has been a lot of fun to watch as the children gained confidence in their balancing ability each day. While not ready to be on their own quite yet, they will be soon!
Pre-K 4 continued practicing how to introduce themselves and express their likes and dislikes. Also, they learned to identify pieces of clothing like vestido (dress), pantalones (pants), camisa (shirt), gorro (cap), zapatos (shoes), and calcetines (socks).
This nine weeks the Prek4 classes have been learning about mudbugs! They have Learned the parts of a crawfish and their favorite part was of course their claws. A few of them were very brave and even held a crawfish. Each one of them liked saying our new big vocabulary word: crustacean. Our Second annual STEM Day was held on April 27 and was enjoyed by each of our Pre-K 4 students.

Q: sas if then else statement I have this code below, I need it to set elig_factor[2] to 1 when status is =1 and hudadmin is in 1 or 2 or 3 else set elgi_factor[2] =0. But it sets elig_factor[2] = 0 anyway.  Can  someone please help?
if ("&r_start" eq 1) then
 do;
 if ( 2011<=built <= 2014) then elig_factor[1] = '1';
 else elig_factor[1] = '0';

 if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '1') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';
  if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '2') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';
  if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '3') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';

 if (np_all gt 0) then elig_factor[3] = '1';
   else elig_factor[3] = '0';
 if (np_black gt 0) then elig_factor[4] = '1';
   else elig_factor[4] = '0';
 if (np_age65 gt 0) then elig_factor[5] = '1';
   else elig_factor[5] = '0';
 if (np_hisp gt 0) then elig_factor[6] = '1';
   else elig_factor[6] = '0';

 elig_factor[7] = occ;
 elig_factor[8] =vac;
    end;

A: You almost answered the question yourself when you said:

when status is =1 and hudadmin is in 1 or 2 or 3

I'm not sure why you haven't used the in operator here.
Anyway, to explain what your code is actually doing:
if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '1') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';

  if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '2') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';

  if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '3') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
    else elig_factor[2] = '0';

Each if statement is evaluated in turn, ignoring the results of the past if statements. So, if you have a situation where hudadmin = 1 then the first if statement is triggered, setting elig_factor[2] to '1', the subsequent else is ignored.
When the second if statement is reached, it is checked and found to be FALSE, so the else statement is run, setting elig_factor[2] to '0', despite having previously set it to '1'.
So you have two options:
Amend your code so it does what you want
if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '1') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
else if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '2') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
else if (status eq '1' and hudadmin eq '3') then elig_factor[2] = '1';
else elig_factor[2] = '0';

This checks if hudadmin = '1', if not then it checks if hudadmin='2', if not then '3', only once it has checked hudadmin is not '1','2' or '3' then it will set elig_factor[2] = '0'.
The code is sound, but a little over engineered, I would go with the following approach
Use the in operator
if (status eq '1' and hudadmin in ('1','2','3')) then elig_factor[2] = '1';
else elig_factor[2] = '0';

This checks the condition in one statement, is easier to read, and is arguably more efficient.

A: This is actually even easier if you use the boolean results.  The only difference below is that it returns numeric results - if you must have '1' then put each of these to a character or wrap each of them in cats.
 if ("&r_start" eq 1) then
 do;
   elig_factor[1] = ( 2011<=built <= 2014) ;
   elig_factor[2] = (status eq '1' and hudadmin in ('1','2','3'));
   elig_factor[3] = (np_all gt 0) ;
   elig_factor[4] = (np_black gt 0);
   elig_factor[5] = (np_age65 gt 0);
   elig_factor[6] = (np_hisp gt 0);
   elig_factor[7] = occ;
   elig_factor[8] = vac;
 end;

Flying plates that really existed
During World War II, the United States was concerned about the obvious superiority of the Germans in the air. And desperately searched for any ways that could give them to pilots advantages in air combat. Therefore, in 1942, the US Navy issued an order to build an experimental aircraft called XF5U-1. It was intended for use as an aircraft that can take off and sit on the aircraft carrier deck. Externally, these products resembled flying plates.
Even before the war, the aeronautics engineer named Charles Zimmerman was fascinated by the capabilities that the aircraft made in the form of a thin disk may have. Zimmerman, worked at the US National Advisory Committee. And tested several unmanned models, which ultimately led to the development of the aforementioned structure. A similar pan-shaped form would allow the aircraft to work well at high speeds, creating a very small resistance. And at low speeds would prevent dumping.
Most of the traditional designs of aircraft use compromise construction schemes. Because the plane needs long wings that help him take off and land at very low speeds. This allows you to build shorter runways. And take on board a big payload. However, as speed increases, long wings create too much air resistance. And spend more energy. That is why modern jet fighters have short wings. They allow you to fly very quickly. But there is a minus. The plane becomes difficult to plant. Because if the plane with small wings will fly too slowly, it will have little lift. And he will fall apart. That is, just falls. Some modern aircraft can solve solve this problem. They use the technology that allows you to change the area of the wing as needed. The design of Zimmerman promised to do the same without mechanical difficulties associated with changing the geometry of the wing in flight.
The XF5U-1 prototypes were equipped with two 1600-strong engines. They drove double screws located on the front of the aircraft. The pilot was located in a bubble vest, which was located approximately in the center of the saucer. Small vertical and horizontal tailings were located on the back of the ship. Zimmerman calculated that such an aircraft will be able to develop the maximum speed of 700 kilometers per hour. But at the same time it will be able to fly and at a speed of only 65 kilometers per hour. The inventor believed that if you use even more powerful engines, the fighter will be able to develop speed up to 850 kilometers per hour. And take off almost vertically. This idea was tested on the piloted prototype called the V-173. This plane made more than 100 successful flights. After that, two XF5U1 fighter prototypes were made.
By the time XF5U-1 was ready, the war was already over. And the US Navy became interested in reactive aircraft more traditional designs.
XF5U-1 never flew and were destroyed.
The next attempt to create an aircraft in the form of a saucer was the project VZ-9V Avrocar. British concern Avro Aircraft has developed a rounded plane. In the product scheme, a central fan was used, driven by three turbojet engines. This allowed to achieve the possibility of vertical take-off. After takeoff, the direction of the engine thrust was shifted back. And the vehicle began to move forward. And the round wing created lifting force.
VZ-9V had about six meters in diameter. And the central fan was a half-meter width. The aircraft flew well at low heights — up to two meters. But when he tried to rise above, his flight became unstable. It was a problem. And the aircraft appeared a complex mechanical system, which should automatically control the stability of the ship. However, she so really did not earn. In 1961, spending 10 million dollars, the US Air Force refused the project.
Nevertheless, more and more constructors of the aircraft found the shape of a saucer. In 1954, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, the same company, which later created the U-2 super secret aircraft, and the SR-71 aircraft «BlackBird» and F-117A «Stealth Fighter» applied for a patent for the invention of an aircraft in the form Soccer. The company engineers were convinced that such a form would provide excellent structural rigidity, stable vertical movement, good aerodynamic efficiency and a lot of space inside the aircraft for the placement of fuel and payload. However, the disappel from Lockheed never no one saw.
And yet one flying plate was built. It was «Sikorsky Cypher». This flying robot with a diameter of about two meters was designed for remote intelligence. Unlike V-173 and similar structures, it is a saucer — not a wing. And the casing for the rotating wing. The product worked on the principle of helicopter. It could hang and slowly fly using his camcorder for espionage. This flying saucer was designed for use during military operations. Her like saucer hook prevented a contact of a rotating rotor with branches of trees and wires. This allowed to use a helicopter on narrow urban streets.
Some objects reflect radio waves better than others. And flat do it in a strictly defined direction.
The F-117A and B-2 aircraft are invisible because they do not reflect radar waves back to the radar receiver. And, moreover, made of special materials. Therefore, a flat form that flying plates have is very interesting in terms of disguise.
Can the military today develop a super secret aircraft who knows how to carry out a vertical takeoff and landing? And while similar to a flying disc? Why not. (Maybe this is what they do in zone 51)? Difficulties that have pursued earlier projects such as Avrocar, in our time, may well be solved. Considered the same computer control systems to put such an unstable plane on the wing as F-117A. Therefore, no reasons for which the same could not be done with respect to a flying plates with a jet engine.

Post subject: Flap wrinkles can be removed a while after.... right?
My day vision is also a problem because I have set-in flap wrinkles that Dr. Terry Kim failed to address in a timely fashion, and dry eye affect my vision.
I thought that there are ways to eliminate flap wrinkles that have been there for a while. I know that these methods are less effective and involve sutures and corneal massages, but something is available. I certainly hope this is true because I am going to be researching this in the next month in order to propose a plan of action to my new surgeon.
Almost everybody I know with a refractive error of -6.00 or greater had a refractive imbalance of 0.5 or greater after the initial surgery. Most are satisfied with their results. A few are offered enhancements and but all will take it up.
Well I thought that some people might relate my complaints to anxiety, but I have to say that I really don't think that is it. I also am experiencing some nausea after this which I did not expect. Although, day by day, it is becoming a little bit more tolerable. However, day by day I am learning to deal with my new vision. SH** HAPPENS and I have to deal with the consequences on stuff like this. I have definitely learned my lesson though with this and trust me, no matter what anyone tells me, I am not getting an enhancement. I can definitely tell that after the surgery, you lose a little contrast in your vision. I don't want to lose any more. I will give my eyes a couple of more weeks to stabilize and then I will see about some corrective lenses to maybe tighten things up with my Left eye. I am about 6 weeks out now for my R eye and it is still doing fine. Thank you for your input and advice.
I have to strongly disagree with you. It is far more distressing for a myope to be overcorrected, than it is for them to be undercorrected. THe visual symptoms of overcorrection can be quite distressing, and waiting for regression is at best unpredictable.
Myopes are accustomed to being able to see close up, and the acute loss of close up vision in an eye can be overwhelming. THe natural lens, if it is not presbyopic, will try to accomodate for the visual stress, but the person may not be without symptoms.. If this patient had ended up -0.5 in his left eye, he would have simply been much less dependent on glasses, but his visual axis would not likely feel anywhere near as distressed as it now does.
I suspect you statement relates to your belief that this patient will end up closer to plano over time than if he had been mildly undercorrected. That could indeed be true, but one needs to appreciate that ending up up plano in this case means that one has maximized their distance vision at the expense of sacrificing near vision myopic benefits. All myopes should be concerned about preserving near vision as they deal with encroaching presbyopia.
Bottom line: Expect a myope to be far more distressed at being overcorrected than undercorrected. Even small amounts of overcorrection can prove distressing.
It is far more distressing for a myope to be overcorrected, than it is for them to be undercorrected.
After my first lasik procedure. I had +0.5 and -0.5 in the other, I preferred the eye with +0.5 and this was personal perference.
Post subject: How old are you zadaw?
The problem with set-in flap wrinkles is that the epithelial cells tend to hold them in place. The best time to smooth out flap wrinkles is when they are first formed. Some techniques call for removing the epithelium -stretching, suturing, massages... are all reported. I don't think there is a 'flap wrinkle expert' out there or any consensus as to the best method to remove flap wrinkles.
What is known is that higher myopic corrections and thinner flaps are associated with flap wrinkles.
Post subject: Post-LASIK nausea happens!
I also am experiencing some nausea after this which I did not expect.
I had nausea and vertigo after LASIK as well, and have known of patients for whom this was chronic after LASIK. Most people get past it - still, this information should be part of informed consent. If medical doctors are unaware of common complications of LASIK, something is very wrong in the corneal refractive surgery informed consent process.
How is the layman expected to provide informed consent for these surgeries if physicians are ending up with complications they never anticipated?
P.S. to zadaw... I bet that in a couple of years you would be telling us you'd prefer to be slightly undercorrected. Also it's hard to say which eye you prefer when you have an undercorrected eye 'available'. I am more nearsighted in one eye and this is the reason I can read anything at all without glasses - although without glasses my vision is blurry at all distances due to INDUCED ASTIGMATISM. I will admit with full correction for my sphere and cylinder I notice the distortions from flap wrinkles and HOAs more.
I am 13 months post-LASIK and I am 20/20 in both eyes. Certainly things can be worse. However, I also know that in the last 13 months I have experienced frequent, chronic pain that is worse than any pain that I could have every imagined. My quality of life since LASIK has been terrible. I estimate that I am able to do about 15% of the things I used to do prior to LASIK due to the pain with my eyes/face/head. Of course, the few things that I still can do, I now have to do with chronic pain so thus I am left with a very poor quality of life.
I have many times tried to ignore the pain and live life like I used to, but this doesn't work since I must contend with constant pain sensations going through my eyes, cheek- bones, upper tooth region, temporal region, head, and occipital region of the neck. Sometimes only my eyes and cheeks hurt. Sometimes its my eyes/temporal region/head/neck. The one constant is my eyes. Some LASIK MD's that I have seen look at me puzzled. Perhaps they are truly clueless or perhaps they are in denial or perhaps their ego is too great to allow themselves to think that LASIK ruins lives. One thing is for certain. I almost never had headaches prior to LASIK. I absolutely never had face pain and my eyes never gave me a problem.
Early in my post-LASIK experience I thought that I must have had the most excruciating dry eye pain that ever existed. Now that my dry eye has improved to a certain degree, I have learned that dry eye is a secondary problem for me. My primary post-LASIK complication is a form of corneal neuroma that results in the chronic neuralgia pain that I experience.
Both the dry eyes and neuroma are nerve damage related. However, the neuralgia pain does not respond to dry eye treatments. I am now on two pain medications for my neuralgia pain and I wear moisture chamber goggles for 80% of my waking hours for my dry eye syndrome.
Prior to LASIK, I was a very active and happy individual who did lots of things with my family. I used to look forward to life. Now, the most I can look forward to are moments where the chronic pain is not so intense. I have in essence missed the last year of my children's lives due to the limitations brought upon by the post-LASIK chronic pain. I will add that my threshold for pain tolerance has always been high. I played football, basketball, and baseball throughout my school years and always played through injuries.
If a LASIK MD tries to tell me that I am just one of those "sensitive" LASIK patients, then he may want to prepare himself for one of my old "decleater" football tackles so that he can understand just how "sensitive" I can be.
It has been about 6 weeks post-op now on my Left eye. I went back today to my physician for a visit. He told me that I have regressed to where my vision is 20/25 although things still appear to be farsighted. He used some sort of marker that left some drops in my eyes that turned the eye yellow and I think that they caused a pupillary constriction which did improve the vision somewhat. I do have some laser induced astigmatism and I told him of the debilitating effects that my eyes were causing me (vertigo, nausea, dizziness, fatigue etc.) and he told me that the vertigo is not caused by the eyes, it is caused by the inner ear, as if I didn't know that. I am a physician too and I know that my eyes are the problem. I still can not see things up close as they appear to be more faint and smaller than the Right eye. Right eye as of now still doing good. Anyways he did do the "Is 1 better or 2?" to me and my vision in my left eye was able to be corrected with some different lenses which I think means that I still may have a chance at my Best Correctable Vision with lenses. Although my doctor did not think that I needed anything right now as far contact lenses or glasses and put me on the FLAREX drops 1 every other day and said that it sometimes takes 4 months for the eye to completely heal. Well I have to say that after today, my patience has run out and I am scheduling to get a second opinion. I want to get some visual acuity numbers from another doctor and share them so that I can get the best advice for me. I still feel the same about LASEK and have really been trying to encourage people that have asked me about it to consider what they are doing. I have been pretty convincing with my story to say the least. Anyways, will continue to update on my condition.
I cannot stress going to an ophthalmologist that does not do lasik in order to get your refraction (or any information regarding your situation). They will lie to you to protect their friends in the field. Trust me, I know from PERSONAL experience, the fact that you are a doctor, does not mean squat to them. My former surgeon, Joseph P. Kiernan of Premier Eye Care and Surgery has mentioned that many doctors have had lasik at his office. Do you think any of them received the truth? You can learn the hard way, as I did, or, you can contact people on this site to find ophthalmologists that are not allergic to the truth.

LASEK Versus LASIK for the Correction of Moderate Myopia.
Teus MA, DE Benito-Llopis L, S?nchez-Pina JM.
Vissum Madrid (MAT, LdB-L, JMS-P), and Department of Opthamology, Universidad de Alcal?, Madrid, Spain (MAT).
PURPOSE.: To compare the results of laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of moderate myopia.
METHODS.: We performed a retrospective, single-masked, interventional study of 80 consecutive eyes. Forty eyes that had undergone LASEK to correct myopia of -2.0 to -6.0 D were compared with age and refraction matched patients treated with LASIK. All eyes had been operated by the same experienced surgeon using the same laser (Technolas 217). Mitomycin C was not used in any patient.
RESULTS.: Eighty eyes were reviewed (40 treated with LASEK, 40 treated with LASIK). The preoperative mean sphere was -3.8 D (range -2 to -6D) and mean cylinder was -0.7 D (range 0 to -2 D) in both groups. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity was worse in LASEK eyes 1 and 7 days postoperatively (p = 0.0001), although the difference 7 days postoperatively (<one letter) was not clinically meaningful. No significant differences were noted 3 months postoperatively either in the uncorrected visual acuity, in the best-spectacle corrected visual acuity, or in the residual refractive error. Nine LASEK-treated eyes showed a postoperative refraction of +1 D or more. These cases had a higher preoperative sphere (-4.5 D) compared with the nonovercorrected LASEK-treated eyes (-3.5 D) (p = 0.03). One eye after LASEK and four eyes after LASIK needed retreatment (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS.: LASEK and LASIK seem to be similar in terms of safety and efficacy for the correction of moderate myopia. Nevertheless, a trend toward overcorrection was found in the LASEK group in correlation with a higher preoperative refractive error.

CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS FROM COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Maja Lj. Nastic
After the Constitutional Court of Serbia dismissed the motion for assessment of constitutionality of the so-called Brussels Agreement in December a year ago, it has been actualized the issue of the constitutional review of international agreements. The aim of the paper is to analyze the constitutional review of international agreements from the perspective of the following states: Austria, Germany, France, Spain. Our starting point is the international treaty may be subject, as well as basis of constitutional review, which depends on its status in the national legal system. Further, we notice that constitutional review of international treaties has some features that distinguishes it from the review of law or other legal act; in particular, as regards the effects of the Constitutional Court's decisions. Our intention is to analyze the rulings in our system through the comparative perspective of mentioned countries.

I tried to use a bitmap (GetBitmap), but what I need is transparency. Unfortunatelly, I have a white background using a bitmap.
Thanks!

A: The regular TImageList uses bitmaps. Although they can be partially transparent, it is actually just a fake. In Delphi you can draw bitmaps to be transparent by assigning them a single transparent color. That exact color will be drawn a 100% transparent, while the other colors are not. Usually the color is taken from the bottom left corner of the image.
TPicture itself doesn't do anything. It is merely a container for TGraphic descendants. You'll have to find a type of image that can be transparent.
A convenient format is PNG. PNG event supports an alpha channel, which means that every pixel can be assigned a different transparency value.
Fortunately there are TPngImageLists that combine the ease of TImageList with the power of PNG. You can read this article. It is in Dutch, but maybe Google Translate can help you. Or maybe you can find an english resource on this subject. I've used this imagelist and it's great, because you can have actual icons with an alpha channel and still use them with regular toolbars and speedbuttons.

I wish Michael T had written Jelly Bean Soup and Grilled Candy Sandwiches ten years earlier. then, I would have read it to my son, Tristan, the maybe dinner time wouldn't be such an ordeal. I have to pay him to eat his salad!
Michael T's first children's book.
Anyway, enough about that! Let's move on to this jewel of a children's book! Jelly Bean Soup and Grilled Candy Sandwiches, written by magician Michael T.
I met Michael T last year when he performed a magic show at our church for the children. When I found out he was working on a children's book, and I told him that I was a publisher, we immediately clicked.
Jelly Bean Soup and Grilled Candy Sandwiches is about Mikey, bright young man. But, like many children, he didn't like nutritious food. Instead, Mikey dreamed of Jelly Bean Soup and Grilled Candy Sandwiches. Sometimes, dreams of such eating habits can lead to hilarious images and inspiring results as told and illustrated in this children's book written by Magician Michael T and illustrated by Joe Santoro. This book also includes children's activities for parents and teachers, as well as easy and nutritious recipes that children will love!

Q: Webcomponents communicating by custom events cannot send data I'm intrigued by webcomponents (and pretty new to javascript) and I am trying to set up a dummy microfrontend app. Ok, components are served by different web server (webpack devserver to be honest) and correctly displayed in the 'aggregator' page. I also add a customevent to send some text from a webcomponent to another and this is not working. Here is the sender webcomponent:
const tmplt = document.createElement('template');
tmplt.innerHTML = `

  message:
  <input id="sendnpt" type="text"></input>
  <button id="sendbtn">Send the message</button>

`;

var input = {};

window.customElements.define('team-zero', class TeamZero extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this._shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({ 'mode': 'open' });
    this._shadowRoot.appendChild(tmplt.content.cloneNode(true));
    this.button = this._shadowRoot.getElementById('sendbtn');
    input = this._shadowRoot.getElementById('sendnpt');
    this.button.addEventListener('click', function(evt) {
      var msg = {
        bubbles: true,
        detail: {}
      };
      msg.detail.name = input.value;
      console.log('sending msg: ' + JSON.stringify(msg))
      window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('greet', msg));
    });
  }
  connectedCallback() {
    console.log('connected and ready!');
  }
});

And this is the receiver:
const m = require('mithril');
window.customElements.define('team-one', class TeamOne extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this._shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({ 'mode': 'open' });
    window.addEventListener('greet', (msg) => {
      console.log("a message arrives: " + JSON.stringify(msg));
    });
  }
  connectedCallback() {
    console.log('connected!');
    m.mount(this._shadowRoot, {
      view: function(vnode) {
        return m("div", "team-0ne runs mithril!");
      }
    });
  }
});

Problem is that event is emitted and received, but there is no detail in it. Why receiver component cannot log the text the other one is sending, what am I missing?
You can see the whole dummy project here.

A: Unlike default Events like click,
Custom Events require a composed:true to 'escape' shadowDOM

*

*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/composed
Note: besides data you can also pass Function references

<my-element id=ONE><button>Click One</button></my-element>
<my-element id=TWO><button>Click Two</button></my-element>

Q: specifying non default YARN queue in Azure Data Factory v1 activity We have a ADFv1 pipeline with an HDInsightHive type activity that submits hive script to a Hadoop HDIndight cluster. Looking at the JSON for the pipeline, there doesn't seem to be any way to specify a YARN queue that the job should be submitted to.
So it's assuming that the job is always to be submitted to the default queue. I didn't find anything in ADFv1 documentation yet to specify queue name (assuming we actually create more YARN queues on the cluster using capacity scheduler).
Can someone provide sample JSON for specifying a YARN queue in an activity if it is possible at all? Also, my requirement is specifically for ADFv1, I would also like to know if this is a limitation of ADFv1, is it fixed in ADFv2?

A: Currently, Azure Data Factory doesn't support submitting an activity to a specific queue.
Azure Data Factory activity always submitted to the default queue.
I would suggest you vote up an idea submitted by another Azure customer.

Joseph Timothy Thomerson (born April 8, 1946) is an American actor and comedian. He is best known for his role as Jack Deth in the Trancers film series and for his work in numerous low-budget features and for his comedic television roles, as well as appearing in mainstream films such as Uncommon Valor, Air America, Volunteers, Who's Harry Crumb?, Iron Eagle, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas..

Early life

Tim Thomerson was born in Coronado, California. He was brought up in both Hawaii and in San Diego. Following a stint in the Army National Guard, where he served as a cook in a tank company with actor Brion James, Thomerson chose to become an actor, while taking a job as a set builder and prop man at San Diego's Old Globe Theatre, famous for its Shakespearean productions.

Following college, Thomerson began a career as a stand-up comedian, honing his skills. He appeared in comedy clubs that included The Bitter End in Greenwich Village, The Improv in Los Angeles, and Catch a Rising Star in New York City.

Career

Initial success
Thomerson entered the world of stand-up comedy in the 1970s. In Los Angeles, he became a regular at the Comedy Store and the Improv, as well as making numerous appearances on television variety shows and in Las Vegas.

One of Thomerson's early acting breaks came from director Robert Altman who, after seeing Thomerson's stand-up act, cast him in the film A Wedding. Thomerson first came to prominence in the short-lived comedy science-fiction TV series Quark in 1977–78, as Gene/Jean, a character of dual gender who randomly switched between the two.

Feature film actor
Thomerson began a long career in television and film starting in the mid-1970s, starting with roles such as the criminal psychologist Jerry Moriarity in the slasher film Fade to Black (1980) before moving on to starring roles such as the time-traveling future cop Jack Deth in the 1985 low-budget science-fiction film Trancers, his most famous role.

In 1986, Thomerson reunited with a few of his Trancers co-stars for the World War II science fiction film Zone Troopers; he also appeared in the vampire film Near Dark, and played a villain opposite Melanie Griffith's heroine in the science fiction film Cherry 2000. He also appeared in NBC's television film The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988) as the Hulk's opponent, Jack LeBeau.

When Charles Band started Full Moon Features in the late 1980s, one of his first projects was the sequel Trancers II (1991), in which he reunited Thomerson with much of the cast from the first film. Thomerson would later appear in each of the sequels except Trancers 6.

Another film role making Thomerson popular with science fiction fans was that of Brick Bardo in Dollman (1991), a Dirty Harry-like alien cop who is only  tall; the character also appeared briefly in Bad Channels.

In the 1990s, he was a series regular on the TV police drama Sirens, followed by a regular, co-starring role on the series Land's End.

Q: How to apply SRP to user interface classes? My application uses a DI framework and follows "program to an interface" practice wherever necessary.
I use constructor injection since I'd like to see the dependencies explicitly. But now the constructors of my form classes take too many parameters (>=4 e.g).
Question: Since UI design doesn't usually adhere to SRP, a Winform class might have n constructor dependencies. Do you like to leave them as they are, pass a proxy object instead, use a service locator...? Also do you inject "aspects" (logger, etc) in every constructor, given that no aop-framework is used?

A: There's no reason why UI implementations should not adhere to SRP. Using patterns such as MVP, MVC or MVVM, a UI class' single responsibility is to to render and collect data through the UI. This is often best done through rather passive data structures such as View Models.
The issue about constructor over-injection should be addressed by refactoring to Aggregate Services.
Aspects are best addressed through application of the Decorator design pattern.


Ogilvy & Mather London has poached BMB creative chief Jules Chalkley for a new executive creative director role.
Chalkley will report to chief creative officer Mick Mahoney and be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the creative department, working across accounts including Boots, Vodafone, Bulmers and British Airways.
He joined BMB as chief creative officer in 2016, taking over from founding partner and chairman Trevor Beattie. While there he has overseen work for clients such as Samsung, LinkedIn, Rowse and Calm.
Prior to BMB Chalkley was a creative director at Engine since 2013, where he led the Cannes-winning "Missing type" campaign for the NHS. He also spent nine years at Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R.
Ogilvy recently hired former Elle UK deputy editor Lotte Jeffs as creative director and Dani Matthews as head of design.
BMB is searching for a replacement for Chalkley, said Aaron Lau, director, president of international and chief executive, North America at Cheil Worldwide. In the meantime Beattie will step in to lead the agency's creative department alongside creative directors Matt Pam and Simon Hipwell.
Juliet Haygarth, the former chief executive of BMB, stepped down in December to recover from health issues.
