Relais Enfants Parents Romands director Viviane Schekter opened "Parenthood and Detention", an interdisciplinary conference it organised in Lausanne on 18 November, by emphasising the need for further development of support initiatives for imprisoned parents and increased coordination among the various sectors involved.
"Stronger work relationships need to be forged, particularly with the prison authorities," she explained.
Professors Marie Douris of Université Catholique de Lyon, a jurist, and Pascal Roman of the University of Lausanne, which contributed to the organisation of the event, presented their findings from recent research they carried out on imprisoned parents in France. They described how parenting in prison runs up against a series of obstacles, including the "self-depreciation" of the imprisoned parent, visits conditions ill-suited for children, difficulties in accessing quality visits facilities (e.g., Unités de Vie Familiale being accessible only to sentenced prisoners, not to remand prisoners or to sentenced prisoners housed in remand prisons); financial constraints that hinder an imprisoned parent's ability to fulfil child-rearing obligations, which can further exacerbate pre-existing feelings of guilt, and other factors, including the imprisoned parent becoming dependent on the reaction of the child during visits, feelings of humiliation and injustice and a pervasive sense of a lack of privacy. The researchers also emphasised the need for greater awareness among imprisoned parents of their rights and underscored the existence of a range of legal entitlements that are not being systematically applied or run up against certain obstacles—imprisoned parents in France have the right to be kept informed of their children's progress in school, for example, yet schools frequently disseminate the information digitally through a series of codes. Use of the Internet is not authorised in French prisons.
Jean Zermatten, director of the Institut International des Droits de l'Enfant and former chair of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child spoke about the rights of children with imprisoned parents, highlighting how children are punished when they are deprived of their parent as a result of incarceration, and how family ties must be maintained at all costs as per Article 9 of the UNCRC. He cited the suppression of visiting rights due to disciplinary measures as a violation of the rights of children. In Switzerland child rights "curators" can be nominated to defend the interests and rights of children, although Zermatten maintains that this remains the exception, as do child impact statements submitted to judicial authorities prior to sentencing. (The latter holds true across Europe.) REPR presented its pioneering support initiatives for imprisoned parents and their children, emphasising the need to allow each individual the space required to adjust and reposition him or herself in relation to the imprisonment, and in particular to avoid imposing any kind of norms or judgment in terms of parenting.
The good practice currently being carried out to support parents and children among the member organisations of the COPE network was presented by director Liz Ayre, who highlighted COPE's priorities, ethical framework and perspectives. The day concluded with a roundtable that explored prison and probation issues in the increasingly difficult Swiss context, with security concerns on the rise that could threaten the good practice currently in operation and destabilise the constructive progress being made. Panel members stressed the need for the important roles that prisoners' families play to be recognised from the onset of the prison sentence, and not only towards the end of the sentence when resettlement issues are addressed.

Hi all, My Matterport camera is arriving on Monday but my Ipad pro is arriving on Mid May.
Can I use a borough Ipad ?
and after transfer my models?
While it is possible, it will have to be a very good friend that lets you do the steps outlined in this We Get Around blog post.
1. Your friend does a back up of his iPad and then wipes it clean.
2. You install the Matterport app and do an iCloud backup on his iPad.
4. Your friend restore's his iPad using his iCloud back up.
Wow! That doesn't seem user friendly.
So My friend has to clean it before he pass it to me?
the Ipad has to be (like new)?


With all the PiBoIdMo and MeeGenius hubbub, I never got around to my November book review. So, I'm making up for it with an extra special, spectacular, double-sized, end-of-year posting. Let's go!
Last week, my family won a gift card to Books Inc. from a PTA drawing. Hooray for us. So, the whole crew went this weekend with the idea that everyone gets to pick ONE book. Nate immediately chose a Lego Harry Potter sticker book. Not quite what I was shooting for, but he's happy. Sophie was a little tougher. We searched and searched. At first it HAD to be a horse book, but none were to be found. Then, she honed in on the spine of a book she recognized. Pinkalicious. Great! Done! But then I noticed another book and said, "Sophie, you like wearing purple and look! Purplicious!" Then I asked which one she wanted. Of course, the answer was "Both." Sophie's a tough customer. At age 4.5, she knows what she wants. We debated in that bookstore on how everyone was just picking ONE book, but she wasn't budging. Then, she pulled out the big guns. "So-and-so in my preschool class has ALL the Pinkalicious books. She has LOTS of them." Really? We've already reached the peer pressure stage before Kindergarten? But we're not talking about dolls or makeup or shoes here. My little girl is fighting for BOOKS. How could I refuse? I forfeited my pick and Sophie left the store quietly. Needless to say, these books by a sister team are totally fun. With the bulk of our picture book collection skewing "boyish", it's nice to add a splash of pink and purple to the mix.
I had no idea what a hit In Front of My House would be when I brought it home from the library. Nate absolutely loves it. Deceptively simple, the story takes the reader on a journey that starts, naturally, in front of a house, but quickly takes off to unexpected stops along the way. Each page turn is a colored pencil drawing that is somehow connected to the preceding and following pages. For example: Beyond the forest... [page turn] a mountain. At the very top of the mountain... [page turn] a cave. At the back of the cave... [page turn] the dark. In the dark... [page turn] a growl. But this is not your standard picture book layout. It goes on like this for 118 pages! And every one is perfectly fun. The best part is, Nate insists on reading it to me now. That's when a book becomes more than a book. It becomes a great memory.
HERE COMES THE GARBAGE BARGE!
You just have to see this book to believe it. It's based on the actual 1987 events of a garbage barge that drifted up and down the east coast all the way to Mexico and back in search of a port to dump 3,168 tons of Islip, New York's trash. That's enough to catch your attention, right? But what makes this amazing book really stand out is that all the illustrations are actually photographs of miniature sculptures made out of--you guessed it--garbage. The look and atmosphere are so unique and entrancing with an edge of creepiness and mystery. Utilizing a grimy color palette, dramatic lighting and depth of field, it feels little like a Tim Burton stop-motion film. And if you're wondering how Chris Sickels of Red Nose Studio did it, you're in luck. Inside the dust jacket is a behind-the-scenes look into how he created the mesmerizing imagery. In spite of the smelly subject matter, Here Comes the Garbage Barge! is quite refreshing!
I loved this book when I found it at the bookstore. I marveled at its simplicity and beautiful design. I chuckled at its cleverness. I noticed the praise its been getting online, making many best books of 2011 lists. I couldn't wait to get it home and read it to the kids. "This book is so funny!" I told them. "Come, sit down. Check this out." We read it. I got blank stares. Maybe I read it wrong. Maybe they just weren't in the mood. Or maybe I Want My Hat Back isn't that kind of book. The humor isn't "adult" per se, but there is a certain wink and nod kinda thing going on. Granted, my kids mostly go for slapstick before deadpan jokes. But I'm not giving up! Maybe it's one of those books they'll have to warm up to. We'll try again. This book is too good to only read once.
The Bog Baby is simply gorgeous in every way. There's a little bit of magic going on here, and it totally gives me the chills. The spindly, curling, detailed illustrations are a wonder to explore, and the cautionary tale of honesty and bringing wild creatures home gives the story a deep, important feeling. Two little girls discover a Bog Baby in the forest and carry him home. They keep him secret and enjoy playing with him. But, of course, the Bog Baby can't survive in a bucket eating cake crumbs. I brought this book home for a couple reasons. First, it's just an enchanting picture book. And second, because my children LOVE bringing Bog Babies home. For us, it's mostly snails, salamanders, ladybugs, rolly pollies, and crabs. We've had a few tears over the injustice of leaving crabs at the beach where they belong. And on several occasions I've snuck insects and tiny lizards back outside once the kids grow bored with them. I just can't let them die! My kids are still just a little too young to understand that animals aren't toys, but hopefully, The Bog Baby can gently encourage them to love nature and treat it responsibly.

L'Occitane En Provence recently hosted an evening of pampering at Amatrra Spa, Hotel Ashok. The cozy seating area of Elma's Kitchen buzzed with chatter of beauty regimes as the brand's trainer conducted an enlightening skincare workshop while giving us trials of the best of L'Occitane products.
The very first thing I experienced was the unique 3D face mask. For me, it was the highlight of the session. The mask is an intensive treatment meant for smoothening and brightening the complexion. It's 3D shape fitted my face and neck area perfectly and left the skin soft and supple. The essential oils in the mask are said to maintain the oil-water balance of the face. It is made of Immortelle extracts, an exotic flower that lives for about 300 years after being picked. Hence, the anti-ageing properties of the mask. Priced at INR 2100 for a pack of 5 sheets, the mask is meant for one time usage only. Other than this, I tried out a few other products like the Foam face wash, Angelica toner, Immortelle Brightening essence, and the Divine Cream.
The event was well attended by Delhi's socialites, bloggers and the readers of Elle India magazine, which co-hosted the evening. I came back with some useful tips like the right beauty regime to follow and the benefits of using natural skincare products. After the facial pampering, we indulged in a delectable high tea menu catered by Elma's at Amatrra Spa.


The Victoria is another classic little boozer slap bang in the middle of Leith Walk, offering excellent continental beers in one of the friendliest places in Leith. It's alarmingly pleasant. By day its vast array of cosy couches and rows of cushions make it a vibrant little hive of joviality, by night it ups a few gears and becomes altogether hip. A seriously relaxed bar, classy in its way but without any pretence. May this pub have a long reign in Leith, a place of true majesty worthy of eternal coronation, and may all who drink in her be merry. This is Leith at its regal best; quirky, imaginative, super-friendly and full of people up for a laugh.

On the military coup in Zimbabwe
On Wed 15th Nov 2017 the Zimbabwe military launched a coup against the leadership of Mugabe. This takes place against a background of an attempt by imperialism to use greater force, fascistic methods and militarism on a global scale, to maintain its control over the masses. The traditional leaders have lost their hold over the masses.
In Zimbabwe, the ruling party had split and faced with the prospect of the masses and the soldiers rising against the Mugabe regime, imperialism decided to assist the military to take over. They hoped and still hope that the military will remain in control and prevent the masses from taking power into their own hands. The aim of imperialism is to maintain the regime while changing leadership. With the powerstructure intact, imperialism hopes to keep the masses in total starvation, as they have done, for years up to now.
There are some parallels with the coup in Egypt when General Sisi deposed elected leader, Morsi. The Generals played on the inability of the democratic regime to meet the needs of the masses. They posed as the friends of the masses. Gradually they cemented their control, declared a state of emergency and brutally suppressed the masses, thousands were imprisoned and many killed. Once they had consolidated their grip they lifted the charges against the deposed dictator, Mubarak and rolled back many of the gains of the Tahrir square uprising.
These same generals who claim they are standing for the people, are under the same leadership, such as Mnangawa, who brutally suppressed the Ndebele masses when they demanded land in 1982-3. Tens of thousands were killed. Mnangagwa and Mugabe were partners in defending the bourgeois terms of the Lancaster House agreement, which kept imperialism in control. Mugabe only gave token land redistribution to war veterans and rich peasantry associated with them while leaving the commanding heights, the mines, prime land and banks in the hands of imperialism.
On Saturday 18thNov 2017, the military is keeping the masses away from marching on State House. They are protecting the organs that have been used to control the masses.
No to the military coup; we call for rank and file soldiers to set up their own committees and to break with the generals; support the masses.
No political support for Mugabe
We call for the establishment of workers and soldiers committees; for rural workers committees; for separate committees of the poor peasants;
Nationalise the land
Expropriate all the assets of imperialism, without compensation, place these under workers' control
For the immediate disbanding of the parliament and in its place the setting up of a revolutionary Constituent Assembly, with one delegate per 10 000 of the masses, subject to instant recall and that no delegate gets more than the average wage of a skilled worker.
Prepare for a general strike against the coup and for working class power
Away with the entire capitalist regime
For the setting up of new revolutionary working class parties throughout Africa.
We salute the bold stance by Numsa in support of the Zimbabwe masses. We call for the mobilisation for a general strike in SA and the rest of Southern Africa, against the coup and in support of workers' power in Zimbabwe.let us break the isolation of the Zimbabwe masses
Forward to a Federation of Socialist workers' states of Southern Africa. All military bases of imperialism, out of Botswana and the rest of Africa.
For solidarity protests by the masses in the imperialist centres, in support of workers' power in Zimbabwe and against the coup.

The applicability of the original and revised Demirjian standards to age estimations of 5-15 year old Indian children
Sapna Hedge, Akash Patodia, Uma Dixit
Background: The Demirjian method has been the most widely tested method for the estimation of the dental age of children and adolescents. However, only three studies have compared Demirjian's original and revised seven-tooth methods, four-tooth method and alternate four-tooth method, none of them conducted on an Indian population.
Aim: The present study aimed to compare the applicability of the original and revised seven-tooth and four-tooth and alternate four-tooth standards for age estimation of 1200 Indian children aged 5-15 years old.
Design: The study was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Results: Demirjian's original seven-tooth method overestimated age by 0.64 ± 1.44, 0.75 ± 1.50 and 0.69 ± 1.46 years in boys, girls and the total sample, respectively. Demirjian's revised seven-tooth method overestimated age by + 0.24 ± 0.80, + 0.11 ± 0.81 and + 0.19 ± 0.80 years in boys, girls and the total sample, respectively. Demirjian's original four-tooth method overestimated age by 0.79 ± 1.59, 0.59 ± 2.77 and 0.72 ± 2.30 years in boys, girls and the total sample, respectively. Demirjian's alternate four-tooth method overestimated age by 1.31 ± 1.07, 1.20 ± 1.10 and 1.26 ± 1.08 years in boys, girls and the total sample, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between dental and chronological ages with all methods (p < 0.001). Significant gender-based differences were observed only with Demirjian's revised seven-tooth and original four-tooth methods (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The revised seven-tooth standards most accurately predicted the age of the study sample (mean prediction error = 2.28 months), followed by the original seven-tooth, four-tooth and alternate four-tooth standards. The Demirjian original seven-tooth method was significantly more accurate in boys compared to girls, while the reverse was true for the Demirjian revised seven-tooth and original four-tooth methods.

CT and MR imaging used in age estimation: a systematic review
Mai Britt Bjørk, Sigrid I. Kvaal
Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may be useful tools in assessment of age of an individual. This article presents a review of published studies using CT or MRI in dental age estimation. They were published between July 2004 and September 2017 investigating different types of teeth, methods and formulae for age estimation. Twenty-seven articles were included. The different studies show good results, and it seems that a combination of different types of teeth, methods (depending on the degree of root formation) and cooperation between different disciplines in the same study gives a higher accuracy.

Age and gender related changes of salivary total protein levels for forensic application
Drashti Bhuptani, Satish Kumar, Maarisha Vats, Rahul Sagav
Saliva is one of the most commonly encountered biological fluids found at the crime scene. Forensic science including forensic odontology is focused on the positive identification of individuals. The salivary protein profiling can help in personalization by the changes associated with age throughout life and gender. These changes also seem to vary with the dietary habits, environmental factors and geographical areas. Thus, the aim of present study is to estimate these changes in salivary total protein concentration and profiling in individuals of Gujarat, India. The association of total protein concentration and protein content with the age, gender, tooth eruption, functions of the protein and its physiological significance are also intended for study in this population. One hundred unstimulated whole saliva samples from study subjects of Gujarat population were collected and grouped based on age and gender. Total protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay; also protein was separated and analyzed using Sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE). T Test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. The concentration of Total Protein was found to be between 2-4 mg/ml. It showed a positive correlation with age and gender. It can be concluded more protein bands were prominently present in the adolescents group followed by children and lastly in the adults groups.More high (more than 80 kDa) and low (less than 30 kDa) molecular weight proteins are seen in children and adolescents than adults. SDS PAGE allowed identification and comparison of group variabilities in protein profiles. The total salivary protein showed an association between the parameters under this study which will aid in the individual identification in the field of forensics.
Palate shape and size and palatal rugae morphology of children with anterior open bite and normal vertical overbite
Helena Alvarez-Solarte, Valentina Sierra-Alzate, Juliana Sánchez-Garzón, Paola Botero-Mariaca
Purpose: To determine differences between open bite and normal vertical overbite regarding distribution, size and clinical appearance of palatal rugae, depth and length of the palate, intercanine and intermolar widths and arch perimeter.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 264 superior models were studied with a 3D analysis system. A total of 132 individuals with AOB and 132 individuals with normal vertical overbite were evaluated, chosen from public schools with ages between 8 and 16 years. Palatal anthropometric features were evaluated. Qualitative analysis of palatal rugae was performed, exploring the shape, direction, unification and sensitivity of the palate. The Mann Whitney and Chi Square tests were used for statistical analyses.
Results: The average age was 11.37 +/- 2.27 years for normal overbite and 11.87 for anterior open bite, with 54.9% of women. No significant differences were found between subjects with AOB and subjects with normal vertical overbite regarding intermolar or intercanine width. The maxillary length and depth and the height and width of palatal rugae were lower in the AOB group. The most common rugae shapes were curved and wavy, predominating in the horizontal direction with a parallel distribution.
Conclusion: Qualitative evaluation demonstrated asymmetry in the shape, direction and unification of rugae in both groups. Most arch measurements were greater in individuals with AOB.
Dental age estimation in children with chromosomal syndromes
Vilma Pinchi, Valentina Bugelli, Giulia Vitale, Francesco Pradella, Laura Farese, Martina Focardi
When the age of an individual is unknown, age assessment refers to the procedures through which authorities try to establish the chronological age of an individual. Dental evidence demonstrated to be very effective in estimating age and dental mineralization is largely deemed a process scarcely influenced by major diseases and nutritional or environmental factors which can affect child growth. This research aims to understand the possible influence of genetic syndromes on dental maturation of affected individuals.
The sample is composed of a test sample of 159 chromosomal affected children, 69 males and 90 females, and a control sample of 157 healthy children, 77 males and 80 females aged between 4,49 and 19,8years. London Atlas was applied to estimate dental age on OPGs (orthopantompographies).
No statistical significant difference has been found in dental estimates between syndromic and healthy individuals. Moreover no statistical significant difference emerged between sexes and age cohorts. Children affected by Down or Williams syndromes nor mean error neither the mean accuracy per cohort of age show differences compared to non-affected subjects.
The London Atlas can be validly applied to age estimation of individuals with multiple agenesis as in Down and Williams syndromes, even if it a slight overestimation of age occurs systematically in syndromic as well as in healthy samples. The current findings suggest that dental maturation is a very stable biological process scarcely affected by even serious illnesses as genetic syndromes.
Quality assurance in forensic odontology
Tore Solheim
Quality assurance or quality control is a term and concept coming from the industry. Here it is most important. All products must have a minimum quality and variation in size, for example, must be kept within certain strict limits. There must be a system to control this. May be not every single product is controlled, but spot tests must be taken. Measures must be taken to improve the quality if it is not good enough.
This concept has been transferred to medicine, odontology, and consequently also to forensic odontology. These areas have in common with industry the production of that certain products. However, they are usually handmade and not produced in an industrial process. In addition, dentistry is a great deal of art and judgement and quality control of these factors may be difficult. In this paper, I will focus on forensic odontology. What are the problems? What can we do and cannot do? In addition, how can we assure the quality of the work, the assessment and conclusion, and the report? I have some personal opinions on that and I will give some suggestions.
Quality assurance on an international level is difficult. Conditions and juridical systems are different in different countries. Especially forensic odontologists are different and have different opinions. This presentation will be relevant to the ongoing discussion and attempts at revising the IOFOS' guidelines for quality assurance.

HP Embraces Telecom With New Blade Server
By John S. Webster • TechNewsWorld • ECT News Network December 5, 2007 1:33 PM PT Email Article
HP has expanded its BladeSystem product line — popular among enterprise customers — with a carrier-grade version.
The platform is "optimized" for the heavy-duty requirements of telecom service providers and network equipment vendors, the company said. The BladeSystem Carrier-Grade Platform is intended for wired and wireless telecom service providers.
Being Responsive
Blade servers are the preferred platform for carriers, due to their small size and ability to be put on their side, said James Staten, an analyst at Forrester Research. This product represents HP's desire to encroach on market share held by carrier server shipment leaders such as Sun Microsystems and IBM.
"HP is being responsive to carrier demands. They want blade servers of a compact size with all the features offered by the BladeSystem. For HP, getting blade servers to carriers has historically been a low priority. They want to take away market share from Sun and IBM, who have been strongest in blade server shipments to carriers," Staten told TechNewsWorld.
Platform giant HP is the market's leader in blade server sales, with 42.1 percent of the worldwide market, measured by revenue, according to research firm IDC.
In the third quarter of this year, the company's blade server revenue grew 79.6 percent year over year, according to IDC.
'On the Fly'
The new servers can be deployed for a range of enterprise applications in carriers' IT data centers, including for network management and service assurance, billing, revenue assurance, customer care, business intelligence and fraud management.
The server ships with key features in its commercial iterations. These include single chassis for telecom and enterprise infrastructures, and support in the enclosure for up to 16 server blades. In addition, the systems 2P server blade combines dual-core Intel Xeon series processors, greater memory capacity, hot-plug SAS (Serial Attached SCSI, or small computer system interface) drives, simultaneous support of multiple I/O (input/output) cards and improved remote management.
The company's Virtual Connect architecture, available for Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks, makes connections to local-area network and storage-area networks an easy task — administrators only have to to wire them once, and then they can add, replace and recover server resources "on the fly," said HP.
NEBS Compliance
Features specific to telecom companies include NEBS (network equipment building system) Level 3 track certification. That's the telecom industry standard that ensures hardware platforms provide high reliability regardless of temperature, humidity, fire, earthquake resistance (with seismic rack), handling, airborne contaminants and acoustics; a NEBS-compliant power supply of 36 volt to 72 volt direct current; and three-year product sales support, which exceeds the usual 18 months for commercial IT servers.
NEBS compliance is essential to carriers, and has become a requirement by many larger telecom providers, said Staten. "NEBS certifies how much impact the chassis can take, as well as other things like power requirements," he said.
Next-Generation Networking
HP's track record in this industry — going back 30 years — and its new BladeSystem "demonstrates the value of our experience in both telecom and IT," said Sebastiano Tevarotto, vice president and general manager of communications, media and entertainment at HP.
Carriers have seen advantages in sticking with a single server family, with a dual role supporting telephony and their own IT needs, according to Lee Doyle, group vice president of network infrastructure and security product at IDC.
Moving into next-generation networking, telecom service providers can deploy the upcoming BladeSystem platform on IP-based networks. HP provides several examples, including parts of Intelligent Networks, Internet Multi-Media Subsystem (IMS), service delivery platforms, security systems, media servers, digital television (IPTV) platforms and messaging (SMS, or texting).
HP hasn't forgotten to support evolving industry standards with its carrier-grade blade server. The company participates in the Carrier Grade Linux forum, and, with HP's Telco Extensions, the server supports Red Hat RHEL 5.x and Debian GNU/Linux. The extensions are HP's carrier-grade Linux. HP will also support other Linux distributions on a case-by-case basis, the company said.
HP is a founding member in the OpenSAF (Service Availability Forum) Foundation. The organization's specification is met by HP's embedded OpenHPI (hardware platform interface) technology. What's more, the company announced the availability of an OpenHPI plug-in for the carrier-grade servers.

An OK movie that could have been much better.
23 April 2012 | by cremea – See all my reviews
An OK movie that could have easily been better.
Solanin is a 2010 Japanese movie that's a standard "young adults growing up while in a music band" tale. it wasn't terrible, but it could and should have been a lot better. It's brought down by two main problems. First, this movie is too long, and could have definitely used a second pass through the edit room because it tends to drag and become dull in several scenes. The second problem is the primary issue, and it almost kills the movie altogether, and I'll get to that problem in a moment.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
This movie basically revolves around two main characters; a wannabe musician and his live in girlfriend. The rest of the supporting cast is rounded out by their friends, band mates, and a few other characters. The entire supporting cast is fairly decent and they all do a capable enough job here. The lead actress, and primary star of the film, is very good in her role as the supportive and dependable girlfriend; she's an attractive and talented actress, and her character here is likable, cute, and charming throughout.
The lead actor's character however, is about as enjoyable as eating dirt, and this is what ruins this film. Here's a description of his character; he's a, boring, selfish, childish, lazy, inept, aimless, indecisive, insensitive, unreliable, mooch. He's also the lead singer, guitarist, & song writer for the band; unfortunately, he doesn't sing or play the guitar well at any point during the entire film, and he never sticks to the lyrics he wrote or music he composed either. Does that about sum him up for you?...if you think I'm exaggerating, watch the movie and tell me otherwise!
There is literally nothing to like about the lead character of this movie at all. If this character were a real life person, he would not have any friends, his band mates would have kicked him out of the band years ago when they realized how talentless he was, and he probably wouldn't have any girlfriends that would have stuck by him for any length of time.
Despite the total disdain the entire supporting cast of characters "should" have for the lead character, they all somehow think he's this good guy and they all seem somewhat dependent upon him for their happiness and sense of direction in life to varying degrees. These characters are all fairly directionless in life as well, but they all look like Steve Jobs compared to the lead character. I had so much contempt for this lead character that I was openly rooting for him to get hit by a bus or something halfway through the movie, so we could start focusing on the far more interesting and likable members of the cast (which is everyone else in the entire movie). Then, a miracle happens; the main character (SPOILERS) actually does get hit by a bus or car or something and dies. I guess he committed suicide, but you can't tell if that was really his intention because he can't ever make up his mind on whether he wants to commit to doing something or not.
At this point, the movie chooses to follow the cliché ridden method of having everyone come to terms with the loss of their friend by working towards playing his music on stage. It's blatantly obvious that this is the perfect impetus everyone needs in order to move forward with their lives; however, they could have all just easily mourned his death in their own individual ways, and then just moved on in life without all this nonsense. But, this is "band movie" after all, so, we can't have that can we?
All in all, there is decent enough amount of stuff to like in this movie to some extent, but I can't give it a definitively positive recommendation because of the unjustly deserved weight this movie places on the main actor's character; simply put; he's not nearly amiable enough for the viewer to truly connect with why the people he left behind felt he was so emotionally meaningful to their lives. This movie would have benefited greatly by making this character either MUCH less of a douche, or killing him off MUCH earlier in the film before the viewer got to the point of outright hating him and questioning why the rest of the cast of characters didn't hate him also.
6 out of 10 stars!

Q: How to detect whether user zoomed in or zoomed out in react native I'm working on an react native app and I want to detect whether user zoomed in or zoomed out.
I just want to print user zoomed in if user zoomed in and zoomed out if user zoomed out
something like below pseudo code
   const detectZoom = (event)=>{

   if(event.gesture === "zoomed in"){
      console.log("Zoomed in");
   }

  if(event.gesture === "zoomed out"){
     console.log("Zoomed out");
  }
}

//This is how I want to call it
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this.detectZoom}>

</TouchableHighlight>

Please do let me know the better way of doing this.

A: You should use react-native-gesture-handler and specifically use the Pinch gesture In your View/Container.
yarn add react-native-gesture-handler

https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/api/gesture-handlers/pinch-gh
<PinchGestureHandler
        onGestureEvent={this._onPinchGestureEvent}
        onHandlerStateChange={this._onPinchHandlerStateChange}>
  <View style={styles.container} collapsable={false}>
  </View>
</PinchGestureHandler>

Your handler:
 let previousScale = 1;
_onPinchHandlerStateChange = (event) => {
    if (event.nativeEvent.oldState === State.ACTIVE) {
      //Handle Zoom here based on the values..
          let newScale = previousScale * event.nativeEvent.scale;
           if(newScale > previousZoom){
            console.log("zoomed in");
           }else{
            console.log("zoomed out");
           }
    }
  };

Q: Design to store query in object form We are building an application where we need to store Query in object form like:
    class Query{
     public Select s{get;set;}
     public From f{get;set;}
    }
    class select {
     public List< Column > columns {get;set;}

    }
    class Column{
     public string ColumnName {get;set;}
     public string AliasName {get;set;}
    }
    class From {
     public Table mainTable{get;set;}
     public List<JoinTable>{get;set;}
    }
    class Table {
     public string tableName{get;set;}
     public string Alias{get;set;}
    }
    class JoinTable:Table{
     public string OnExpression{get;set;}
    }

we are storing details in these objects so later on we can create queries for any database using these objects.It can be even more complex with subquery also. Please let me know if there is any better design to do so.
Note: We are using C# to develop this application.

A: There is always room for improvement and since "better" has a different meaning for each of us, I will focus only on the provable improvements. Since there is always room for improvement, this list is not a complete nor final list:

*

*Since sub-queries with named tables are possible, you will need to support queries of this form:

select c1, c2
 from (select c3 as c1, c4 as c2 from yourtable) renamedtable;

*You need to allow sorting

*You need to allow grouping

*You need to allow paging, that is, loading a finite number of records starting from an offset
These are just comments on your ORM, but you might have expressions you might want to reuse. You might want to be able to store those. Also, you might want to be able to generate classes for the tables you have in an arbitrary database. LINQ is a perequisite, you might want to look through its features and contemplate whether you want those and if so, how will those fit into your situation.


Performance management is the one of the most challenging areas for managers and HR professionals to navigate. Issuing evaluations and discipline in a positive, constructive way will improve individual employee performance, as well as overall organizational effectiveness. Properly handling the discharge of an employee can avoid costly lawsuits for your company.

The 10 National Park Sites with More Than 5 Million Recreational Visitors in 2017
National parks continued to serve as popular tourist destinations in 2017, with dozens of sites seeing all-time highs in numbers of recreational visits. Here are the 10 most-visited places in the National Park System.

The National Park Service released its recreational visitation statistics for last year, and while the overall tally of nearly 331 million visits was a bit below the agency's record-breaking numbers in 2016, many individual parks continued to see all-time highs in visits. Visitors also spent more time in national parks in 2017 than they did in 2016, racking up 1.44 billion hours at their destinations, up about 19 million hours from the previous year.
Here are the 10 most-visited sites in the National Park System, all of which saw more than 5 million visitors last year.
Recreational Visits
1. Blue Ridge Parkway 16,093,765
2. Golden Gate National Recreation Area 14,981,897
3. Great Smoky Mountains National Park 11,388,893
4. Gateway National Recreation Area 9,190,610
5. Lincoln Memorial 7,956,117
6. Lake Mead National Recreation Area 7,882,339
7. George Washington Memorial Parkway 7,562,793
8. Natchez Trace Parkway 6,326,062
9. Grand Canyon National Park 6,254,238
10. Vietnam Veterans Memorial 5,072,589
A few other interesting facts from the National Park Service:
Who Counts? A Closer Look at Parks' Record Visitation Numbers
Every year, the Park Service releases its official statistics on visitation at national park sites around the country. How does the agency come up with these numbers? With vehicle multipliers,…
See more ›
Just 27 park sites were responsible for half of all the recreational visits across the park system.
Of the 385 national park sites that count their recreational visits, 61 set records for all-time highs. These parks include landmark historic sites like Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, which topped more than 170,000 visits for the first time, as well as high-traffic destinations like Grand Canyon National Park, which topped 6 million visits for the first time.
Great Smoky Mountains continued to be the most-visited of all national parks (versus park sites with other designations, such as national battlefields, national historic sites, national monuments and national seashores). This overwhelmingly popular destination saw 5 million more visitors than Grand Canyon, the second-most-visited national park, and both set visitation records in 2017.

The Spanish have a certain expression that can be used either as a question or a proud expression of a great transaction: bueno, bonito y barato. Literally, "good, nice and cheap," it encompasses everything that means "It's a great buy!" For us Filipinos, the word is sulit; whether we are buying things or paying for experience, we are always on the look out for what is sulit. And what could be more sulit these days than a place that is not far from home, Instagram-worthy and has good value for money? On that note, let's review Los Arcos de Hermano in Bulacan and see if it passes the sulit test.
Barely an hour away from Trinoma, Los Arcos de Hermano is located just outside of Metro Manila, in. There is even no need to go through NLEX and pay any toll fee. It's that close. No mind-numbing drive or ride when going to this resort.
For those who drive like me, parking is a top-of-mind concern and it is always a salient feature wherever we go. Los Arcos definitely has this covered as there are plenty of parking spaces throughout the resort, whether you are there have fun at the pools or attending a function.
Like any resort, there are plenty of cottages around the pool area. They are big, sufficiently distanced from one another and have plenty of power outlets for plugging in portable cooking appliances and other electronic gadgets. Best for day trippers.
If a guest would rather stay overnight, Los Arcos has a number of rooms to choose from. These rooms are pretty basic – bed, air-conditioning, TV, toilet and shower – but it is important to note that the sheets are clean, the toilet flush works, there are hangers available, and the water pressure is great. They even provide guests with towels and complimentary toiletries like soap, toothpaste and a toothbrush. There are also pool-side rooms with verandas that are only slightly more expensive than the non-pool-side rooms. One drawback to staying at the pool-side rooms would be the loud music from the weekend bands might disrupt your plans of turning in early.
Los Arcos features two big pools: one for the kids and one for those 4ft and above. But only recently, the Serenity Pool has been launched so there are now more pools available to everyone.
There is absolutely no corkage on food and drinks. There are even grills available for cooking that outing must-have: barbecue. Alcoholic drinks are allowed but are limited to 1 litter of hard drinks or 1 case of beer.
Need a function room for your event? They have it. They even offer coordination services should you feel overwhelmed with all the planning.
Tucked inside Los Arcos is a very quaint chapel where small ceremonies can be held. Numerous weddings have already taken place there and it is no wonder as the place can truly transform once it is spruced up!
Best for corporate groups who seek to hold their team building activities in a venue that is not too far away, where food can be brought in and team building facilities already exist. Los Arcos would even throw in a private pool if it fits your budget.
Yes, all these wonderful things can be experienced without burning a hole through our pockets. Los Arcos have different entrance fees to suit the different needs of the guests as well as packages for big groups.
So, if you are planning on a quick getaway from the city or looking for a place for your company's team building, head over to Los Arcos de Hermanos Resort and it just might be everything you are looking for.

A man whose pregnant daughter was killed, along with his two granddaughters, sobbed with his face in his hands as a Colorado judge read formal charges against his son-in-law.
Shanann Watts' father, Frank Rzucek Sr., shook visibly Tuesday as District Judge Marcelo Kopcow read the charges against Christopher Watts.
Christopher Watts stoically answered "Yes sir" as the judge asked whether he understood the murder and other felony charges against him and the penalties they carry, including the death penalty.
Christopher Watts is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of his wife, Shanann, and 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste.
Watts didn't enter pleas Tuesday. The judge set the next hearing for Nov. 16.
A Colorado man is due back in court Tuesday to formally learn that he has been charged with the murders of his pregnant wife and two daughters.
Christopher Watts also faces charges of unlawful termination of a pregnancy and three counts of tampering with a deceased human body. It is not clear whether he will enter a plea during the court appearance.
A court filing unsealed Monday says Watts admitted to police that he killed his wife. But he said he strangled her in "a rage" when he discovered she had strangled their two daughters after he sought a separation.
The document says the 33-year-old man then drove his wife and daughters' bodies to an oil work site where he buried 34-year-old Shanann Watts and put the bodies of 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste inside an oil tank.
Watts is being held without bail.

"I love problem solving and helping people fix issues with their instruments," said Meade, who has been at IDT since 2013. "Every day is different because I have no idea what will be broken on any day."
Her diligence, organizational skills, and corrective measures ensure that a process can be adhered to, which enables IDT to maintain its product uniformity and industry-leading quality control. Away from work, however, Meade's passion relies on her willingness to innovate, experiment, and wing it with measurements and methods.
She and her husband, Jacob, are at-home craft brewers who love developing their own recipes for unique ales, stouts, seasonal brews, and more.
"My science background has helped tremendously," said Meade, who earned a chemistry degree at the University of Iowa. "Brewing is science! It's essentially gathering ingredients, boiling them, adding them together at specific times and temperatures, and in a particular sequence. It's just a large-scale science experiment."
The large turkey fryer on their back patio is a result of the experimentation.
"When we first started brewing a few years ago, we tried to do our boil step on our electric stove," she said. "That did not go well. It took about three hours for the giant pot of water to heat up enough to even consider it close to a boil. So, we invested in a propane turkey fryer that could control the temperature better. It heats up much faster."
The necessity to adjust on the go is a testament to Meade's problem-solving abilities.
"The brewing process itself it actually really easy, but there are a lot of factors to control," she said. "Your ingredients, brew time, brew temperature, the timed addition of the hops, grains, and malt, and the time and temperature of your fermentation, etc., all have an influence on your final product. If something goes wrong during your brew and you get funky beer, it takes a little problem solving to figure out what happened and what to change for next time."
Lately, the results have been wonderful. They recently brewed "High Tea Hibiscus," which is a pale ale with dried hibiscus leaves from their yard that add tea flavor, as well as "Vanilla Mint-er Warmer," which is a winter warmer-style stout made with vanilla beans and mint leaves.
"Brewing is chemistry, so it is a really good fit as a hobby," Meade said. "It's an experiment that has, arguably, one of the most delicious results."
IDT is conveniently located in Iowa's Beer Belt and four craft breweries/taprooms—Backpocket Brewing, Big Grove Brewery, Millstream Brewing Company, and Reunion Brewing—are within a few miles of HQ. Meade said it's hard to pick a definitive favorite.
"We actually became mug club members at Backpocket this year because they have been turning out so many great beers," she said. "They definitely are my favorite for their dessert sours. Their Kitty Lime Pie is amazing. But Big Grove has my vote for their stouts, like Richard the Whale and Morgan Horse, and their hazy IPAs, like Shadeshine and Big Ed."
While there may not be a wrong answer regarding a best local craft brew, Meade said there is one incorrect response she won't accept.
"I love talking about and teaching people about beer, and I won't believe you if you tell me, 'I don't like beer,'" she said. "There are so many kinds, you just have to find the one for you!

In the previous post I used Packer to remove block device mappings from Ubuntu AMI to ensure EC2 auto-recovery is working. While Packer is a fantastic tool with many features, it is synchronous in its nature and requires active SSH connection to the temporary instance in order to bake new AMI.
Can we get similar results with AWS tools alone? Indeed, we can!
In December of 2016, at the re:Invent, AWS announced a slew of interesting new features for their Amazon EC2 Systems Manager (a.k.a. SSM). The initial documentation and tutorials were sparse, so their capabilities weren't immediately clear. One of these new features, Automation, offers functionality similar to Packer, so I decided to learn more about it by applying to my simple use case.
Start by configuring IAM Roles for Automation as described in the docs. I know this might seem like an extra step compared to Packer example, there I just used my personal credentials. However, if you serious about security and live by POLP, you should create a dedicated IAM Role or User for Packer as well.
Next, we will need an automation document - a JSON document defining meta data, parameters, outputs and steps to execute (rather similar to CloudFormation). AWS docs already provide a great example walk through for a very similar use case, which can be used as a starting point. More detailed information can be found under Systems Manager Automation Actions and Automation System Variables.
Now we need to load our Automation doc into SSM. These steps can be done via AWS Console, but I decided to do it the hard(?) way, with CLI.
When successful, you should see JSON output with document description, type, version and other meta data.
Note: while I applaud AWS for incorporating versioning of documents and Lambdas directly into AWS, I would rather have better integration with popular VCS like Git.
Alternatively, just use EC2 Console to monitor the execution.
No need to connect to temporary instance.
It's asynchronous, thus better choice in situations where you don't want to wait for the job to finish.
Could be triggered from Lambda or used as a target for CloudWatch Events.
Can use values from SSM Parameter Store.
Might be preferred by purists, who want to rely exclusively on AWS tools and services.
It's SLOW. It appears that Automation polls for status change of each step at about 2 minute intervals, which results in much slower execution compared to Packer (in this case: ~11min vs ~2min). Packer seems to poll for events more often, thus moves along faster.
It's still new and BUGGY. At the time of this writing I found and reported a bug, which caused interpolation of global variable global:REGION inside 'BuildRegion' tag to fail. If you run this example before the bug is fixed, you should see error "Parameter: global:REGION is not defined in the Automation Document" in the output of the final step.

Inasmuch as we still live in a world were war is not a thing of the past, strangely the desire to stimulate change seems to be lubricated by dead bodies en masse...still...cemented by legacies of country A trying to impose its will on country B. This all begs the question of what is war? In the sense of, we now live in an age where technology is not only rife, but has us trying to solve questions, and develop more complex theories. Recently, I heard a podcast by Seth Godin called Akimbo where he postulated that theories supersede laws as laws are only what dictates the behavior of people.
One of the real problems of waging war especially in this day and age is a relative uncertainty in defining the reasons for waging war. This is where this information age plays a pivotal role. Because the talking heads and pundits on television no longer hold authority over critical information needed (Iraq war) we the masses are now free to no longer be dictated to about a specific reason to go to war, we can now "do a google" and find out why. Simple!
The Rad Black Kids are for pacifism. War in all forms should cease as the value of a human being should not be first weighed by the power of their passport, against the newsworthiness of their lives. Human lives deserve the dignity of their own pursuit of happiness, whatever that might be!


In this first installment of his epic Haitian trilogy, Madison Smartt Bell brings to life a decisive moment in the history of race, class, and colonialism. The slave uprising in Haiti was a momentous contribution to the tide of revolution that swept over the Western world at the end of the 1700s. A brutal rebellion that strove to overturn a vicious system of slavery, the uprising successfully transformed Haiti from a European colony to the world's first Black republic. From the center of this horrific maelstrom, the heroic figure of Toussaint Louverture–a loyal, literate slave and both a devout Catholic and Vodouisant–emerges as the man who will take the merciless fires of violence and vengeance and forge a revolutionary war fueled by liberty and equality.
Bell assembles a kaleidoscopic portrait of this seminal movement through a tableau of characters that encompass black, white, male, female, rich, poor, free and enslaved. Pulsing with brilliant detail, All Soul's Rising provides a visceral sense of the pain, terror, confusion, and triumph of revolution.

Swarajya Interview With N Gopalaswami On Institutes Of Eminence
by Swarajya Staff - Jul 15, 2018 08:14 AM
N Gopalaswami leads the empowered expert committee whose job is to select India's "Institutes of Eminence". (Shailesh Raval/The India Today Group/Getty Images)
Swarajya spoke to the man at the helm of the committee responsible for selecting "Institutes of Eminence" – former chief election commissioner N Gopalaswami.
Here are excerpts from the conversation.
One of the key initiatives as part of the Narendra Modi government's plan to liberalise higher education has been to create "Institutes of Eminence" (IOE). Educational institutes that carry the IOE tag, based on select criteria, will essentially be India's best shot at breaking into the top global lists of educational institutes worldwide. These institutes will enjoy academic and administrative autonomy like no institutes in India have ever before.
The man chosen to head the committee – "empowered expert committee" – that will be responsible for selecting these Institutes of Eminence is former chief election commissioner N Gopalaswami. Swarajya had the opportunity to speak to him and pick his brain about the various aspects of IOE, including the rationale behind pursuing a global projection of Indian institutes, criticisms levelled against the initiative, and why some deserving institutes didn't make the cut. Excerpts:
The recent IOE selection announcement has created so much controversy, particularly about awarding the IOE tag to Jio Institute of Reliance Foundation. What is your take on it?
There are two extremes in terms of the people who will object to this decision. One will think whatever the government does is wrong. The other will genuinely have a different point of view. Whatever I say or do is not going to change the view of the first type. But we can have a meaningful discussion and agree or disagree with the other.
Perhaps, if they had named it differently, keeping the distinction between the existing and new institutes, this controversy would not have occurred. Say, if the nomenclature for the 'greenfield' category were to be something different, one that indicates future potential to become an Institute of Eminence and not directly compared with other established candidates. There should have been a differentiation in some form for the greenfield category.
At a policy level, the government has been moving in parallel on several fronts to liberalise higher education. For instance, the IIM Bill (the Indian Institutes of Management Bill, 2017) that gives greater autonomy to all IIMs is one such track. For all institutes with NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) score of over 3.5, a higher degree of autonomy is another track.
This Institute of Eminence selection is a different track that tries to facilitate certain institutes to break into the "Top 500" lists in global education rankings, for all three types of institutes, i.e., public institutions, existing (brownfield) private institutions, and new (greenfield) private institutions. This is definitely a well thought-out move by the government, and India will have more institutes featuring in the top 500 global rankings in the next 10 years because of this initiative.
Many critics are saying that this IOE tag is reminiscent of the old license raj era, where a select few are given access to ease of running a university, even if the reasons for awarding the tag are purely based on merit. Shouldn't the rules be uniformly relaxed for all?
Reform in education has been on the cards, including that of the UGC (University Grants Commission), and the government is taking several initiatives in this regard. The attempt is let go of control, even if that may invite resistance from certain interests.
I think the government may have also thought it can claim greater credit through an initiative such as creating Institutes of Eminence rather than pursue incremental reforms in UGC.
Swarajya chief executive Prasanna Vishwanathan with N Gopalaswami
Picking public universities must have been comparatively harder, given there are so many fine institutions. How different were the selection criteria in selecting public and private institutions?
One of the key policy objectives was to select such institutes that have the potential to break into the top 500 global rankings. So, those institutes that were sectorally focused, such as all IIMs, TIFR, TISS, ISI, Agri Research Institutes, etc, which are otherwise of a high calibre, were not considered for the IOE tag.
Otherwise, the criteria for selection was similar for both public institutes and brownfield private institutes.
Global rankings give great importance to research. The government's justification for awarding the IOE tag appears to be to facilitate our institutes to break into these world rankings. But how justified is this approach? Shouldn't we be looking at various other factors that are also important in India's case, such as an institute's report card in imparting skills, getting its students employed and so on?
There may be many great institutes that need support; however, they don't make it to the top world rankings as they have very different criteria. Shouldn't we be focusing on rewarding the best rather than those who can feature in some global list?
This is the policy decision of the government, and the defined mandate of the EEC (empowered expert committee) was to identify those institutes that have the potential to get into the top 500 global ranks in the next 10 years. Also, some of the factors that you highlight as important are also part of the selection criteria in one way or another.
As mentioned before, several parallel initiatives are being taken by the government for reforming higher education, and this is one such move which, in my opinion, is a well thought-out initiative.
The EEC recommended 11 names – eight public universities and three private – but MHRD (the Ministry of Human Resource Development) has finalised only three public universities because private ones were also three in number. On an arbitrary ground, the five universities that deserved the tag won't get it. What do you think of this?
The EEC has submitted its report with a recommendation for eight public universities and three private institutes, which the government has accepted in toto. However, the MHRD has chosen only three each in the public and private sectors, probably to balance out between these two segments. The remaining five public institutes, i.e., IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, Jadhavpur University, Delhi University, and Anna University have been selected by the EEC and I'm sure they will get their IOE tag in due course.
Several prominent institutes such as JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) have not received the IOE tag. Why?
Many well-regarded institutes like the JNU were not considered because their academic focus is not comprehensive.
The criteria for selection of greenfield institutes is fairly simple – land availability, core team in place, funding ready, and a strategic vision. Of the 11 applications that you received, why was only one applicant selected? Did none of the other 10 meet these simple criteria?
We have carefully evaluated all the greenfield applications, with the sole criteria – do they have the required resources, land, team, funding? – to get into the global rankings of 500 institutes. You will be surprised to know the extent of the lack of resources. One of the applicant's land is under litigation for over seven years, another one had indicated minuscule land size for the proposed institute, many did not have the core team in place, and a few of them had a narrow focus – for e.g., the focus could be limited to design, urbanisation, public health – which will not be eligible for global rankings. So, based on our careful evaluation, only one application had the requisite resources to convince us that it deserves the IOE tag.
Also, the government has not rejected any application. These applications may be given a re-look in due course, say, maybe even one year, even though the official time frame is two. So with improvement in parameters, they will stand a better chance in future rounds of selection.
Will the EEC work with the selected institutes? If yes, in what capacity? And would it also be helping the institutes that didn't make the cut so that they make up for the deficiencies and are eligible for the tag in the future?
Yes, the mandate of the EEC is to periodically monitor and review the selected institutes, as well as continue the selection process in further rounds of application. We have recommended a time frame of two years before we review the applications again, as it would take significant time and effort to achieve meaningful improvement in key selection criteria. However, the decision on when the next round is, is left to the MHRD. In my view, greenfield applications may be received at more frequent intervals as it is relatively easier to address the lacunae in these applications.
As far as greenfield proposals go, was there a significant qualitative difference in terms of the proposal?
Certainly. Some of the greenfield proposals can even be non-starters. For instance, a few of them did not even have the basic infrastructure requirements including land, core academic leadership, and definitive funding plan in place.

In 1993, a strange disease began to kill people in the Four Corners area of the Southwest near the Navajo Reservation. Before it was all over, 26 people were dead. The disease was traced to a group of viruses called Hanta viruses. Western interest in this group of viruses dates to the 1950s and the Korean War, where it infected UN troops. However some researchers believe it is endemic to the U.S. Producer Ann Finkbeiner travels to the region and talk with scientists, doctors and Navajo medicine men.


In addition to our Milwaukee facility, Grover has operated out of Fort Worth, Texas, since 2005, when we acquired the Double-Seal Ring Company. With the Texas office, we can offer a high level of service to oilfield, mining and other customers in the Western US. The last time I was in the Lone Star State, I had the opportunity to speak with Holly Griffith, a Customer Service Representative at that office.
"I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but we moved to Long Beach when I was young, so I grew up looking at things with a 'West Coast' point of view. I've lived in Texas now for more than twenty years, and I really enjoy the people here. I can travel from a big metropolitan area like Dallas to the countryside on a single tank of gas.
"When I was very young, my parents would take us all camping every year to Kings Canyon National Park in California. What made this really great was the opportunity to invite a friend to go along with us. I still remember the smells and sounds of those camping trips. I take every chance I can to go on camping trips with my family and friends, to show them what I can of this great Country.
"My parents have been a great influence on me my whole life. My dad was in the service, so we got to see all kinds of towns and meet new people. My mother passed away when I was 20 years old. What I wouldn't give to spend another day with her to reminisce and to thank her for all the support and guidance she gave me. She was a very special and wonderful person.
"I have two boys of my own, Jacob, who is 27, and Jeffrey, who is 25. Last fall we had our first grandson, Kamdyn -- I tell you, I'm still trying to find out where that name came from! When I have free time, I spend it working on the "Fixer-Upper" house that I bought with my boyfriend. It's a lot of work, but it's only a block from the Lake, so it'll be great to have the kids visit. Plus, I'll invite everyone for the Grand Opening!
"Every day, I am excited with the opportunity to help Grover and all of my customers reach their full potential. I would like our customers to know that I am here, ready to exceed their expectations. Please give me a call to discuss your many piston and sealing rings opportunities."
