Denise Helms, a 22 year old woman from California recently took heat from the comments she posted on her Facebook page regarding the reelection of President Barack Obama. The young woman used the N-word to describe the President, then said, "Maybe he will be assassinated." The comments were reported by several people, and the issue grew very large very quickly -- reaching her company's corporate management. Now, Helms is taking it all back. See original story here.
Reports indicate that an ex-boyfriend of Helm's took screenshots of the comments and made them public. The shots made it to the company's bosses and they decided that the views expressed by Helms do not represent the views of the company. In turn, they let the 22 year old manager go.
Shoud Helms Have Apologized For Her Comments?


Many things can be done to the bathroom makeovers and if you would like you can do changes over the weekend. A splash of color, patterns, walls, windows, showers, towels and rugs are those specific things for the bathroom that are needed and can be easily changed.
If your walls are in good shape, it is not hard to stencil a simple border or design around the baseboard, mirror, ceiling, or window. This project will add a pattern to the room and help to either introduce a theme or enhance a theme that you have chosen. You could try a shell border, scroll, ivy, flower vines, or moldings. Choose colors for the stencils that will catch the eye.
If you are a resourceful and energetic homeowner, you might want to tackle repainting the bathroom in a weekend. The job itself really will not take too much time, and the results will be worthwhile. Get ready for the job and be sure you plan. Map out the project and buy the needed supplies during the week in advance. Wash down the walls and use a de-glosser solution to make the walls ready for the new paint. Choose a paint color depending on your preferred style. To minimize the cost, try to coordinate with the fabrics you already have. If you are getting new fabrics, pick a color you love, taken from any fabric you will be using in the room. Consider whether your room should have light and bright, neutral and pastel, or deep and cozy colors.
Wallpapering is not a job for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, a small room like a bathroom is a good place to start. Choose paper that is made to withstand humid areas and pick the appropriate paste. You will need to shop for and order the paper well ahead of time. If the whole bathroom seems like too big a job, paper on one wall will really update and transform the space.
Border wallpapers are sold by the yard and can be custom-ordered or purchased from the in-stock section of the home store. A border 6″ to 12″ below the ceiling, around a mirror, above wall tile, or bordering a doorway adds interest. When choosing a border to go all the way around a mirror, be sure you select one that looks good upside down. In addition, either hand-cut around a pattern or miter the corners for a professional look.
Colorful towels to coordinate with your decor bring color to the walls and a feeling of luxury. If your towels are acceptable, add trim to spruce them up with a decorator look. Simple ribbon banding above the border is a great touch. Be sure to wash the ribbon banding before sewing it on the towels, as it might shrink with the first wash. Alternatively, bring in extra color buy adding colorful hand towels or washcloths as accents. Do not overlook adding a fresh, colorful new rug.
Either a bold, colorful floral print or simple check or stripe can add color to windows or showers. You can purchase or make a shower curtain or window valance to put color around the room. Cording or coordinating accents add a decorator touch. For a powder room or extra bath, that does not get a hard workout, elegant silk accents on walls and light fixtures create an exotic, luxurious feeling at a small expense.
Almost any cabinet can be easily and inexpensively updated with new hardware. If your cabinets do not have any, be sure to measure carefully before drilling the holes. Choose the hardware to enhance your decorating theme. Shells or fish shapes fit in at a lake cabin. Wrought iron or white ceramic looks great in a country setting. Shaped pulls formed as twigs and leaves are fun in the mountains.

At age 20, I experienced my first psychological assessment. I was shocked a few simple questions produced a report describing who I was with such clarity. For the first time, I understood my differences were normal. I found one of the few books published at that time for the general public;Gifts Differing by Isabel Briggs-Myers. I read it over and over again for years.
I was hooked for life, on self-discovery. I loved the power it gives you to make satisfying life and career choices.
As I gained the responsibility for the development of others I used the MBTI consistently as a tool to help team members and team leaders create success by understanding self and others.
Now as a trained coach and voice dialogue facilitator, a certified retirement coach and as I become a Master certified MBTI practitioner a - my deep knowledge and experience is just what you need to learn how to win throughout your life.
Understanding your minds preferences will help you win.

In response to a forecasted undersupply of natural gas to the Warragul area by the Australian Energy Market Operator, APA Group (APA) is undertaking investigations into the construction and operation of an additional high pressure steel gas transmission pipeline branching from the existing Morwell to Dandenong pipeline and terminating at APA's existing Warragul City Gate facility at Anderson Street, Warragul.
There is an existing high pressure gas pipeline servicing Warragul running from the Morwell to Dandenong pipeline, terminating at the Warragul City Gate facility (referred to as the Warragul Lateral). The Warragul lateral supplies Warragul's distribution network of residential and industrial customers. The area of investigation for the proposed second pipeline is generally along the same alignment as the existing Warragul lateral. The term for this type of pipeline project is Looping. The project is therefore named the Warragul Looping Project.
This proposal will involve the construction of a buried pipeline approximately 4.8 kilometres in length. There will be no additional above-ground facilities beyond some minor work required in the existing City Gate compound at Anderson Street, Warragul. The new pipeline have a diameter of 150 millimetres.
APA has received the revised growth forecast for Warragul, which shows an increased demand for gas forecasted for the next 15 years. The increases are contributed by both residential (new land sub-divisions) and industrial gas consumers.
With the forecasted gas demand increases, the Warragul lateral needs to be augmented to meet this increased gas demand by mid-2019. Without the new pipeline looping, reliability of gas supply to Warragul could not be guaranteed, particularly to customers located at the end points of the network.
This project is subject to a comprehensive program of regulatory approvals and landowner and community consultation, which will assist APA in finalising the pipeline alignment and managing the potential impacts of the construction and operation of the pipeline.
For more details, you can download the project infosheet.
If you have any questions or require further information about the project, call our project team on 03 8626 8482 or send us an email at warragullooping@apa.com.au.

I love a good Rock the Dress photo shoot. If you are unfamiliar with what that is – its basically a chance for you to wear your wedding dress again – your groom could even hire out a suit! Its fun to do the sessions somewhere different to where you got married and get some different kind of images.
Lorna & David chose to head to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire for their photo session. Lorna's wedding dress was actually a two piece so she brought along a different skirt to change into half way through to go with her bodice. We even had a cup of tea and a cake too!
A fantastic, fun way to get some unique and special photographs – contact us to arrange your own Rock the Dress session!


Businesses in Greater Manchester are set to benefit from a share of £20 million that is being rolled out to help with training.
As part of a partnership between the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce and think tank New Economy, a new skills strategy is being developed for the region to ensure employees' skills match the needs of their company, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The two bodies lodged a successful bid that saw the generation of the cash injection - the majority of which has come from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills - which has been named the Employer Ownership of Skills Fund and is due to launch later this month.
Chamber chief executive Clive Memmott claimed it has been clear for some time that skills funding must become more responsive to the needs of employers. "Employer Ownership of Skills gives employers the opportunity to have more influence over how public money is spent," he was quoted as saying.
Manchester firms are being invited to apply for a slice of the money, which they will then need to invest in training and developing their existing and future workers.
Furthermore, a free event taking place at the city's Etihad Stadium on the morning of February 28th will be informing local organisations of the fund and providing them with the opportunity to point out where skills gaps exist in the area.
Any firms that attend are also likely to be interested in the launch of a carbon literacy course created by West Yorkshire-based e-learning provider Virtual College, which is taking place at the Arndale Centre between March 7th and 9th.
Mr Memmott explained he believes the £20 million investment can be used to develop Greater Manchester's new markets and exciting low-carbon, high-end engineering and digital projects are already underway.
"What I want now are more opportunities to come forward, so that we can assist businesses to get the best out of the skills system," he concluded.

Stories of women in the PArCo
1 Early Roman women: the cult of Vesta
In ancient Rome, there was an all-female priestly college, the College of the Vestal Virgins. The priestesses were in charge of tending the sacred fire of the goddess Vesta, kept burning day and night, which had always assured social unity and the strength of the Urbs. The cult of Vesta has extremely ancient origins, dawning back earlier than the foundation of Rome itself. Its officiants were young women of noble birth, like Rhea Silvia, the princess from Alba Longa who gave birth to Romulus and Remus. In one version of the myth, the twins' mother was buried alive, subject to the same punishment inflicted upon Vestals accused of violating their vow of chastity, which was to be observed for no less than thirty years.
2 Women and medicine in the ancient world: the Spring of Juturna
The nymph Juturna is a goddess of wells and springs, and as such was worshiped near pools of fresh water. In mythology, she was sister to Turnus, king of the Rutuli, who was the chief antagonist in Virgil's Aeneid: before establishing itself in Rome, the nymph's cult was initially associated with a spring in Lavinium, the city founded by Aeneas after the hero came ashore in Latium.
Water, as with all life-giving elements, is often associated with female figures, but in this case, its medical and healing properties give it special importance. In the vicinity of springs, structures were often available where the ill and infirm could take advantage of these restorative properties.
3 Passion, infidelity and divine ancestors: Venus Genetrix
Tales of conjugal infidelity in Roman mythology almost always end in extraordinary ways: it's no surprise that, from the union of mortal men with the goddess Venus, divine expression of beauty and fecundity, the greatest of heroes sprung.
Such is the case of Aeneas, born of Venus and Anchises, a Trojan hero. The geographical setting of the Aeneas saga in Latium and the consolidation of the legend of Rome's Trojan origins permitted certain Roman families to underline unequivocally their link to the hero: among them was the gens Julia – Julius Caesar's family —, whose members claimed descendance from Venus. The story of this mythical ancestor was very important to Caesar, and to celebrate her he erected the Temple of Venus Genetrix in the forum not far from the senate house. The goddess was recognized as founder and patron of the gens Julia, on par with Mars who was father to Romulus, and, in the eyes of the empire's state religion, she became the progenitrix of the Roman people.
4 Julia, the rebel daughter
The emperor Augustus, tireless defender of the principles at the basis of the Roman family, had a daughter, Julia, who sources remember as a woman of great beauty, but with a restless, extravagant and rebellious character. Contemporary authors give us the image of a cultured, intriguing woman with a decidedly libertine streak—a characteristic for which she would pay dearly, despite her rank and the pleas of the Roman people, who begged for clemency on her part. Widow to Marcellus, and then to Agrippa, mother to five children, she was forced by her father to marry Tiberius, son of Livia, who was Augustus's third and final consort. Julia scorned and humiliated her husband, to the point where she was publicly accused of multiple counts of adultery. She was forced into exile on the island of Pandateria (now Ventotene), where she was kept under strict surveillance and was subject to harsh restrictions, and was later condemned by Tiberius, now emperor, to spend her final days confined to a single room, in complete isolation.
5 Women and power: Livia
History has not been kind in its traditional portrayal of Livia, third and final wife of Octavian Augustus, despite recognizing her intelligence and beauty: she is best known for being calculating and pitiless, in addition to being an exemplary mother and wife. Her first marriage was to Tiberius Claudius Nero, with whom she had two children, Tiberius and Drusus, the latter being born just three days prior to her second marriage. Sources tell how she spent half a century scheming for the succession of her firstborn Tiberius, whose rivals all died, systematically, at a young age. Being the imperial heir was not easy for Tiberius, who was also forced, upon his mother's wishes, to divorce his beloved wife and marry Julia, the daughter of Octavian.
6 The women of the Palatine (Museum)
The Dancer
Mystery surrounds the statue known as "the Dancer". It presents an uncommon iconography: the few known copies of the same statue type have all been found without heads and arms, making any attempts at identification very difficult. It could perhaps be a young athlete: every four years, games open only to women were announced at Olympia, where competitors wore the same lightweight, above-the-knee-length garment that we find on the torso. Winners were honored with a crown of laurels and a statue in their likeness — our Dancer might just be one of these lucky few.
The young girl
The young princess is a masterpiece of Roman portraiture. The artist's abilities utterly transform the Greek marble out of which the face is carved, appearing as soft, satiny flesh. The statue's full face, with large eyes and thick locks of hair cascading over the forehead and pulled back into a bun behind the head, underline the subject's youth and grace her with a typically childlike air of innocence.
The nymph Aura is the personification of the breeze; this is why she is portrayed in movement, with her dress flying about around her and hugging the curves of her body, dishevelled by the wind. Her story is told in the Dionysiaca by the Greek writer Nonnus of Panopolis. Aura, a virgin huntress, offended Artemis by insinuating that the goddess's large and voluptuous breasts were like those of a nursing woman. Artemis punished her with the aid of Nemesis, goddess of revenge: as an act of retaliation, Dionysus takes her maidenhood.
7 The Magna Mater
The cult of Cybele, known in Rome as the Magna Mater, originates in Asia Minor: ruler of the natural world, personification of the creative force of all lifeforms, she was represented both as mother of land and mountains, seated on a rock-hewn throne, as well as lady of the animals and nature, flanked by a pair of lions. The introduction of the cult of Cybele in Rome is linked to the city's history: according to historical sources, not only was she invoked during the second Punic War to ensure the victory of the Roman people, but she is also connected to their Trojan origins. Ovid tells how, thanks to the Magna Mater, Aeneas found refuge on Mount Ida after the Trojan War, after which he would go on to fulfil his destiny as forefather of the founders of Rome.
8 Women in the Colosseum
Female participation in the munera as gladiatrixes, huntresses or in combat against dwarves, although only occasional, is nevertheless attested by various literary sources and by rare archaeological evidence, for example the 2nd century AD mosaic on display as part of "Il Colosseo si racconta", which shows the victory of two huntresses over a tiger. Women participating in the amphitheatre were accepted by the public as long as they came from low social classes, as detailed in the 19 AD senatorial decree that forbade citizens from the higher classes (senators or equites) in taking part in the games. The deciding factor was therefore the census and not gender; at least until the rise of Septimius Severus, who tried to prohibit — not always successfully — the participation of women ready to battle it out in the arena.

As I understand there is an built in engine in Lightroom for creating SimpleViewer galleries. However, the default engine uses the 'free' version of the swf file (it says simpleveiwer everywhere). How can I upgrade to the Pro version in this Lightroom web engine.

Q: Suggestions on architecture to monitor services and databases I am trying to make a monitoring system for JAVA web services. It would be a simple switch kind of system where based on the health of a service it would report 'RUNNING', 'CRITICAL' or 'UNSTABLE'. The challenge is integrating it with existing code. While calling an endpoint with the data would be the easiest, I am not too keen on going down that path because it would require too many changes to the source code. Instead I was looking at run-time injection. Your suggestions on coming up with an architecture would be very helpful. Thanks and let me know if you have questions.
EDIT: Tips on how to extend it to monitor stored procedures in an Oracle DB would be great too.

A: There is a common answer for such kind of question: just try JMX.
If you already use such frameworks like Spring - feel free to use Spring JMX there.
Aslo you can built your application into OSGi framework if it suits to you (here you can also use JMX layer for that).

Boston's path to universal preschool offers lessons for other cities
Mayor Marty Walsh greeted students at Walnut Grove Head Startt in April after he announced a $15 million investment to fully fund preschool in Boston.(SUZANNE KREITER/GLOBE STAFF)
It was a 2013 campaign pledge from Marty Walsh that, if voters picked him, every 4-year-old in Boston would have the right to go to a high-quality preschool. Under a budget proposal submitted last week, Walsh is making good on that promise, with a $15 million infusion to fund the remaining 750 seats needed to reach full coverage.
That means by 2025 Boston will be able to offer preschool to about 4,000 4-year-olds. It is an achievement that is worth noting, given that with education dollars spread thin, universal pre-K has been elusive goal for many cities. The burden instead has fallen on families to pay their own way, creating an uneven educational system of haves and have-nots even before kids start kindergarten.
Studies have shown that kids in preschool programs have a higher chance of graduating from high school, obtaining a college degree, and getting a job. Boston's journey — some two decades in the making — offers a road map of how other cities in Massachusetts can achieve preschool for all. Boston will have done so with a combination of public school classrooms and community-based centers with funding from the city, state, federal government, and even foundations.
That's perhaps the biggest lesson learned. Boston didn't just open its own preschools, though most 4-year-olds attend one at a public school. To expand, Boston Public Schools partnered with organizations with preschool programs like the Boys & Girls Clubs and the YMCA to help raise their standards to what is being offered in the public schools.
Boston also recognized the need to stem the high turnover among preschool teachers — an average of 30 percent — because of low pay of about $35,000. Boston is building the pipeline by making sure teachers are properly trained and compensated, with starting annual salaries in line with a BPS teacher of about $53,000.
Even before Walsh's election, Boston was a leader in early education in Massachusetts, but he has struggled to find the last chunk of funding. One time he floated the idea of selling City Hall, and later on he called on Beacon Hill to tap surplus money from tourism tax revenue. "We couldn't wait any longer, we had to do this," Walsh said recently.
So what about the rest of the state? Only about a quarter of preschool age children in Massachusetts have publicly financed early education and care, according to advocacy group Strategies for Children. The state has helped fund efforts like Boston's and is planning to continue to do so. House Speaker Robert DeLeo's budget proposal for the third year in a row calls for a $20 million increase to boost the pay of early educators.
Boston has led the way on universal pre-K, and now it's time for other cities in the Commonwealth to follow suit. It will take a village: a variety of funding mechanisms and the willingness to experiment.

Home > Services > Bariatric Surgery > Procedures
At Centra, the bariatric procedure that you get will be the right one for you. There are three common procedures (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and laparoscopic banding), and all three are now offered at Centra.
Roux en Y gastric bypass, or "gastric bypass," (Figure 1) has been used since the late 1960s as a weight loss procedure and until recently was the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the United States.
In gastric bypass, the upper portion of the stomach where food would first enter is stapled and separated from the remaining portion of the stomach during surgery. This stomach "pouch" holds approximately 1 to 2 ounces of food or fluid (about the size of a golf ball or egg) and creates a sensation of fullness or "satiety", after a very small meal. The small intestine is redirected to accept food from this small stomach pouch.
The remaining stomach (called the "remnant" or "excluded stomach"), duodenum and the initial part of the jejunum stay in place and continue to make digestive juices, but are "bypassed," resulting in a different kind of journey for our food and digestive juices. This change causes some natural chemicals (hormones) to circulate through the body that make a person feel less hungry, more full and promote blood sugar control and more energy burning.
Gastric bypass yields an estimated excess weight loss of 70-85 percent at one year.
Reversibility
This procedure is considered irreversible, but in rare cases can be reversed for a life-threatening medical need.
Gastric bypass causes food to skip the duodenum, where most iron and calcium are absorbed, so the risks for nutritional deficiencies become higher.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is a stapling procedure where approximately 80 percent of the stomach is surgically removed, resulting in an evenly sized tubular stomach, or "sleeve".
The sleeve holds approximately 3 to 4 ounces of food or fluid. This change to the stomach creates a sensation of fullness, or "satiety," after a very small meal.
The portion of stomach removed contains many cells that produce a hormone called ghrelin, which is associated with the sensation of hunger. Some patients do report feeling less hungry after this weight loss procedure.
Sleeve gastrectomy yields an estimated excess body weight loss of 50 to 70 percent by one year after surgery.
This procedure is not reversible. Once the larger portion of stomach is removed, it cannot be put back into the body.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band
Gastric banding uses the LAP-BAND® System, which is an adjustable band that buckles around the top of the stomach, narrowing the opening to the remaining larger portion of the stomach. A 1 ounce "pouch" is created at the top of the stomach where the band is placed.
The inside surface of the band has an adjustable balloon that is connected by tubing to a port. Adjustments to the balloon are made by inserting a needle containing fluid into the port that permanently rests underneath the skin of the abdomen. Nothing "sticks out" of your skin, but you and your surgeon may be able to feel the port under the skin.
The injection of more fluid into the port causes the balloon to inflate narrowing the passageway for food. Removing fluid deflates the balloon and widens the passageway. The concept is to create anatomy that provides a sensation of fullness or "satiety," after a very small and slow meal.
Think of this as an "hourglass" shape and function of the stomach: if you have a very wide-open middle part of the hourglass, everything drops through quickly and the upper part of the hourglass doesn't feel "full." If the hourglass is too narrow in the middle, everything is stuck and can't make it through to the lower part. The key is finding the middle ground, where a small meal takes some time to move through the narrow spot, not too tight and not too loose.
Weight loss is often less than the gastric bypass or sleeve procedures. Estimated excess body weight loss at two years is about 40 to 50 percent. This means, of the extra weight a person is carrying, they may lose up to half of it over a few years' time.
You are expected and required to be seen by your bariatric doctor every four to six weeks for the first year to achieve adequate restriction by adjusting the band.
No cutting, reconnecting or re-routing of the stomach or intestines is required. Also, the adjustable gastric band is removable, although weight may return quickly after the band is removed, so removing the band is not recommended unless a complication has developed with the band.

Gorgeous new swing dress from H&R London! It is a black almost full swing dress with white flowers. It features capped sleeves, hidden side zip and form fitted bodice. It has a built in petticoat (but you can always add another crinoline to make it fuller!), and thick ribbon removable tie belt.
LOVE this dress. Fits perfect, is light but still swinging, and makes my rack look great. Order by the size chart! I measured and was surprised to see that I needed a size two bigger than I would normally order to fit the girls. I'm so glad I didn't second guess! Can't wait to wear it out dancing! Arm holes are a tiny bit restrictive due to the cap sleeves, but otherwise perfect!!
This Dress was a perfect fit! I love how light it is and the material is soft and stretchy. Not itchy at all. The side zipper makes the top feel snug and secure. I wore it to my son's 1st bday party, the theme was Rockabilly and I wanted a 1950's dress to look the part. This was perfect, I got so many compliments that day it was great!

T-Online rejects chatrooms from its IM service
ISP steers clear of the chatroom feature that has proved a controversial issue for other instant messaging providers
Written by Jane Wakefield, Contributor on April 19, 2001
German ISP T-Online has rejected chatrooms from its forthcoming instant messaging product, adding to the growing concern that the feature is dangerous.
T-Online has around eight million users across Europe and is by far the largest ISP in Germany. Its decision to have the chatroom facility removed from its IM software will put additional pressure on Yahoo! to remove its own chatroom facilities.
A ZDNet News investigation revealed that some of the 'romance' chatrooms freely available to users, via Yahoo!'s instant messaging service, are hotbeds of paedophile activity. Numerous paedophiles have been using the service to have sexually explicit conversations with children and one, Patrick Green, went on to rape a girl he met in a Yahoo! chatroom.
According to MessageVine -- the company which is providing the IM technology to T-Online -- the telco is very conscious of the issue of chatroom danger.
"T-Online removed the chatroom system and has a very conservative approach to this issue, said MessageVine's vice president of operations Amit Rahav. "It believes that monitoring chatrooms is very important and therefore doesn't want to add any more chatroom facilities to its service."
The dangers of chatrooms is just one of the issues facing the IM industry. Another hot potato is the issue of interoperability, finding a standard protocol for all the different IM technologies currently available. Rahav believes that the process has been slowed down by AOL.
"AOL didn't play along in order to maintain marketshare. But now there is a huge critical mass of non-AOL users which will eventually lead to AOL changing its policy," he said. "Hopefully we can come up with a solution and the process is only taking a long time because AOL is dragging its feet."
While AOL is a huge player in North America, it is not so dominant in the burgeoning European IM market. Instant messaging is a huge growth industry in Europe, both for fixed line and, increasingly, mobile access. Analyst firm the Yankee Group believes that wireless data services will be driven by messaging, with 50 percent of users specifically accessing such services for messaging.
T-Online is unique in being the first European telco to use a software vendor to provide the IM technology, rather than, as France Telecom has done, design it itself or rely on the bigger players.

Joanne Romano is taking care of her husband, Larry, who has Alzheimer's disease.
Arizona has long been a destination for older adults, with its pristine retirement communities and warm climate. But aging in America isn't what it used to be. The issue isn't going away. We have to talk about it. This is Part I of "The State of Aging in the Valley," a series that explores the reality of an aging society.
For many caregivers of people with dementia, grieving a loved one while they're still alive is not only traumatic, but confusing. But many caregivers are learning to understand this "ambiguous loss" is changing how caregivers look at life and loss.
Joanne Romano is sitting in her kitchen, reading from the book, "Loving Someone Who Has Dementia," by Dr. Pauline Boss. Romano is taking care of her husband, Larry, who has Alzheimer's disease.
"I both wish it was over and wish that my loved one keeps on living and that's what triggered me to think about this and its true. It's so very true and try and digest that," she said.
She's been studying Dr. Boss's book to help her cope with what Dr. Boss calls, "ambiguous loss:" she's grieving a man who is physically present, but psychologically drifting further and further away from her.
"As I took the course that was offered, and learned more about the term 'ambiguous loss' and how it applied to caregivers, it made more sense. It helped me to understand at some of the anger," Romano said.
The course she's talking about is called "Steps to Hope."
"With ambiguous loss, it's an ongoing, it's a chronic loss, it becomes a complicated loss, its loss that goes on too long," said Susy Favaro, a social worker at Banner Alzheimer's Institute. Favaro and her colleagues created the course after stumbling upon Dr. Boss's work, but they knew they had struck a chord when "some of them would start crying because having a name for what they were feeling helped them understand that it was real."
And what they were feeling, said Favaro, was hopeless, sad and alone — and then there's the guilt. We're not supposed to want our loved ones to die, but after years of dealing with someone who has dementia — and the web of complications that come with such a diagnosis — many caregivers want it to end.
And therein lies the ambiguity, said Favaro.
"The mixed emotions, the guilt, that doesn't just happen when the person dies that happens throughout the disease process. Caregiver what they do or what they don't do," she said. "I don't think I've ever met a caregiver who doesn't have guilt about something. It's never enough. It's never right."
John Radway lost his wife, Claire, to vascular dementia seven years ago.
"But the thing is, we have to realize that when somebody dies of dementia the process is very slow and the mourning process takes place over many years," he said. "It's OK to be thankful they're not suffering anymore."
Life for him after losing her became extremely difficult.
"The world looks flat to you in the end. Absolutely flat. And there's nothing poking up, no flowers to get your attention, nothing attractive to motivate you down the pathways which seem perfectly empty," he said.
Still, said Radway, "You've got to take yourself in hand and it's extremely difficult — it's a constant fight."
That's because grief isn't linear. It doesn't follow a natural progression and then one day just stop. In fact, some caregivers may feel relief at first, with grief sneaking up later on.
As Romano talks about her own ambiguous existence, she said she isn't looking too far into the future because of what it would mean.
"It's unspeakable. It's unspeakable," she said. "It's like any long-term illness the wish for peace for someone I think overrides the other wish. My wish for him is peace. He is not peaceful right now. He deserves to be happy."
But happiness is hard to come by. As of now, there's no cure and caregiving costs continue to soar. For both caregivers and the roughly 130,000 Arizonans living with Alzheimer's disease, peace remains difficult to achieve.

FAIRFAX, Va. — March 3, 2022
Now more than ever, national borders are being challenged—and not just by enemy combatants or large-scale motorized military units. Terrorists, smugglers, and migrants are all slipping through the gaps in border enforcement. And while everyone recognizes the problems in border security, the question is how to get enough eyes on the long, meandering boundaries between countries.
That's where Kestrel Block II comes in.
Developed by Logos Technologies and leveraging the success of similar wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) systems employed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the exportable Kestrel Block II is a powerful, cost-effective sensor that is mounted on an aerostat. From this vantage point, high above the treetops/hills/buildings, a single Kestrel Block II can continuously image an area of 100-plus square kilometers in real time.
Both electro-optical and infrared cameras for 24-hour monitoring
Covers area of 113 sq km at once, from 3,000 ft. AGL
Long endurance – 30+ days at a time
Real-time access to both live and/or recorded imagery
Multiple imagery windows may be viewed simultaneously
Lightweight payload can be collocated with other sensors
Automated cueing of sensors for high-res views while maintaining full situational awareness
Kestrel Block II images in medium resolution. That's enough to detect individuals moving across the system's vast coverage area as well as detect and track vehicle-sized targets. Additionally, since Kestrel Block II is so light, it can share a platform with other sensors, such as high-res full-motion video (FMV) cameras. The WAMI system can then cue these collocated FMVs to zoom in on detected targets.
Besides following border infiltrators in real time, Kestrel Block II records everything for up to 30 days. This stored and indexed imagery provides analysts with a formidable forensic tool. Should an event occur, the Kestrel Block II analyst can "go back in time" and link the infiltrators to hidden staging areas, suspicious vehicles, collaborators, etc.—all while said event is unfolding!
Kestrel Block II delivers the coverage and persistence surveillance needed for a country's security and defense.

Teaching Methods provide information on modern ways to activate the participation of students, integrate innovative forms of teaching and, in so doing, help students and lecturers to develop and anchor their knowledge as well as to acquire skills. Since ex-cathedra teaching (a lecturer talking in front without interaction by the students) is very boring and not effective at all, we prefer using exciting teaching methods to strengthen the learning effect, such as World Cafe and many others.
Micro training is a way to inform people in a short period of time and to support informal learning and peer-to-peer learning.

Bulletin of the IDF N° 495/ 2018: Inventory of microbial food cultures with safety demonstration in fermented food products
Bulletin of the IDF No. 495/2018
Since 2002, the International Dairy Federation (IDF), in collaboration with the European Food and Feed Cultures Association, has been conducting a project on demonstration of the safety of microbial food cultures. Following the publication of Bulletin of the IDF 377-2002 in 2012 a joint Action Team of the Standing Committee on Microbiological Hygiene (SCMH) and the Standing Committee on Nutrition and Health (SCNH) published a scientific rationale for the inventory of microbial food cultures demonstrated as safe for use in food product(s).
In 2017/2018, a new joint Action Team of the Standing Committee on Microbiological Hygiene (SCMH) and Standing Committee on Dairy Science and Technology (SCSDT) reviewed the 2012 published rationale and available taxonomic developments in the course of updating the inventory of microbial food cultures. Simultaneously, a questionnaire was sent to all National Committee members of the International Dairy Federation (IDF) for submission of new species based on the published scientific rationale.
The current IDF Bulletin provides an updated inventory that replaces the one published in 2012, the Bulletin of the IDF N° 455/ 2012: Safety Demonstration of Microbial Food Cultures (MFC) in Fermented Food Products.

Introduction: Changes in body load and mechanics occur, shifting body's center of gravity anteriorly leads to SI joint pain in pregnancy. The objective of the study is to determine the frequency of Sacroiliac joint pain during the three trimesters of pregnancy and the association of severity of sacroiliac pain with first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Methodology: This was a cross sectional analytical study conducted at Nur International University, Lahore. The data was collected from gynecological department of different hospitals and clinics in Lahore. An informed consent was obtained from the patients for inclusion in my study. For diagnosis Laslett's criteria which includes series of 5 tests, was performed on the patients meeting inclusion criteria and pain was measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) was filled by the patients. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 28.0) was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics include frequencies and percentages were extracted. Spearmen's rho and Pearson's correlation was used to test for association of severity of pain with three trimesters of pregnancy and quality of life respectively. Results: 45 subjects were included in the study, 64.44% suffered from SI joint pain. There is a weak correlation between severity of pain and trimester of pregnancy and there is a strong correlation between Numeric pain Rating Scale and Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire. Conclusion: Majority of the pregnant females have SI pain in the second trimester of pregnancy. The intensity of pain increases with the trimester of pregnancy and pelvic girdle questionnaire increased score which decreases the quality of life of pregnant females. In the light of these results pregnant females should seek physiotherapy along with their medical treatment to reduce SI pain.
Numeric pain rating scale; Pelvic girdle pain; Posterior pelvic pain; Sacroiliac joint; Lower back pain
The prevalence of SI joint pain in pregnant women is 20% in the West and the global prevalence spans from 24% to 90%. [1] Some of the literature suggests that the pain does not increase with progression of pregnancy whereas others have researched that it does increase with the course of pregnancy. [2] This study is conducted to provide a better understanding about pregnancy induced SI joint pain and to correlate the concept of pregnancy related back issues among healthcare providers. The objective of the study is to determine the frequency of Sacroiliac joint pain during the three trimesters of pregnancy and to find out the association of severity of sacroiliac pain with first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy and quality of life.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction causes pain between the posterior iliac crest, gluteal folds and lower back which may radiated to posterior thigh. [3] The causes may be pregnancy, osteoarthritis, gout or gouty arthritis, traumatic injury, ankylosing spondylitis, metabolic factors, hormonal change, inadequate motor control and etc. [4] The SI pain usually starts with the pregnancy or within 3 weeks after delivery. [5]
A series of provocative tests are performed to diagnose SI joint pain. Provocative tests are non-intrusive techniques performed by a clinician such as physical therapist, health specialist or pain management specialist. A number of at least three to five positive provocative tests result indicate that the SI joint is causative factor of SI joint pain. The five provocative tests include distraction, thigh thrust, FABER (Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation), Gaenslen's and compression [6] The intensity of the pain is usually measured with Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Pelvic girdle questionnaire, provocation tests and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) are used for diagnosis and association of pain with severity of SI joint pain in pregnancy. [7]
In one of the previously done studies, it showed that during the first trimester of pregnancy, all the pregnant women with SI joint pain reported of mild pain only. In the second trimester, some of them (92.5%) reported that the pain was moderate and severe in others (7.5%) whereas in the third trimester, the intensity of pain was moderate in 44.7%. and severe in 55.3%. [8] This study shows a gradual increase in the pain intensity from the beginning to the end of the pregnancy. But in the literature, there are some contradictory reports against this matter.
In a research study, it was found that women with hypermobility are more at risk of developing SI joint pain in pregnancy and persistent pain in postpartum. [9] In some of the studies, previous pregnancies have also been identified as a risk factor for pelvic girdle pain in a subsequent pregnancy. [10] Ramachandra et al. observed that the pain in first trimester was lower as compared to the pain in second and third trimester of pregnancy. [11] This is because of ligamentous laxity and increase in the hormone levels. But the researcher also stated that the pain in second trimester was more as compared to the third trimester as women tend to take more rest in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Studies conducted in western countries have brought out that the prevalence of pregnancy-related low back pain and PGP varies between 3.90% and 89.88%. [12] According to a study in Australia, almost half of the pregnant women and one-quarter of postpartum women report of Lumbopelvic pain (13). A Cross sectional survey in Sargodha, Pakistan had a sample of 200 pregnant females. Out of which 51% of the pregnant women suffered SI joint pain during second and third trimester of pregnancy whereas there were only 5% of the pregnant women with SI joint pain in first trimester. [7]
The research work location was at department of physical therapy, Nur International University, Lahore. The study population consisted of pregnant women in their first, second or third trimester in primipara or multipara pregnancy in Lahore. The sample size was calculated using G*Power version 3.1.9.7. Correlation point biserial model was calculated using one tail with effect size=0.50, alpha error=0.05, power=0.95. The calculated sample size was n=34. The sampling technique used was Non probability convenient sampling.
Generalized primiparous or multiparous pregnant women in first, second or third trimester of pregnancy were included in inclusion criteria of this study. Pregnant women with a recent history/signs or symptoms of pelvis instability, inflammatory infection, trauma, neoplastic disease, degenerative or metabolic disease, low back pain which needs to be treated surgically were excluded.
This was a Cross sectional analytical study. The research followed the rules of declaration of Helsinki 1964. All the participants were fully informed about the research being conducted. The study was completed within six months after the approval of synopsis.
A thorough interview of the pregnant women was conducted to know about the pain, its course of nature, intensity, duration and how it affected their daily living activities. Pain was measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) ranging between mild, moderate and severe. A series of tests of Laslett's cluster such as FABER test, thigh thrust test, Gaenslen's test or compression test, were performed on the participants. A result of three to five positive tests indicated that the participant had SI joint pain. With consent from each participant, Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) was filled by them for association of pain with severity in three trimesters of pregnancy and quality of life.
For data collection a permission letter was issued from the university to conduct the research. Different hospitals and clinics in Lahore were visited. Pregnant female participants were informed about the research and its purpose. There was a proper interview with the participants in which cross questioning was done. All the information was shared and queries were solved. The participants meeting the inclusion criteria were tested for the diagnosis of sacroiliac pain using Laslett's cluster including the five provocation tests which were compression test in which the participant was inside lying position, the researcher compressed pelvis with pressure applied on iliac crest which was directed at the opposite iliac crest, thigh thrust where the participant was in supine position. The researcher placed the hip in 90 degrees flexion and adduction. The force applied through femur was directed posteriorly at varying angles of abduction and adduction, distraction test in which the researcher applied postero lateral pressure to bilateral anterior superior iliac spine in supine position, Gaenslen's test where the participant was lying in supine position with both legs extended. The testing leg was passively moved into full flexion while the opposite leg remained in extension. Overpressure was applied onto the flexed side and lastly Faber test in which the participant was in supine position. The researcher asked the patient to place one foot over the knee of the opposite limb. The researcher applied force on medial side of the knee posteriorly.
After the diagnosis, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to rate the pain intensity according to the perception of each participant. Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) was be filled by the participants for association of pain severity with the three trimesters of pregnancy and results were noted.
The data was entered and analyzed using standard SPSS software version-28 for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics including frequencies and percentages were extracted for the continuous variables (SI pain, NPRS score, PGQ score). Mean ± standard deviation was used for SI pain in the three trimesters of pregnancy. For association of severity of sacroiliac joint pain with the trimester of pregnancy and quality of life, Spearman's rho and Pearson's correlation was used. Spearman's rho showed the correlation between ordinal (trimester of pregnancy) and dichotomous (yes/no) variables of data. Pearson's correlation was used to show correlation between two continuous variables (NPRS and PGQ scores). Bar charts were used for nominal (trimesters of pregnancy) and dichotomous (presence of SI pain) variables. Scatter plot was used to show the relationship between two continuous variables (NPRS and PGQ scores).
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a tool used to measure pain in the form of score out of 10 where 0 means no pain and 10 means the worst pain. The number that describes the pain dimension in best way is picked by the patient. It has a reliability of 0.96 and 0.95. [13,14] Quality of life is defined as an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. [15] It is calculated using Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) scoring. Pelvic girdle questionnaire is a condition specific measuring tool used in research and clinical practice to assess the symptoms and activity limitations in patient with posterior pelvic pain during pregnancy and postpartum. The questionnaire is self-reporting and consists of 20 activity items and 5 symptom items. It has a 4-point response scale from "Not at All" (0) being the lowest to "To a Large Extent" (3) being the highest.
The research outcome was interpreted with SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 28. The data was collected from gynecology department of various hospitals and clinics in Lahore. Sample size was 34 pregnant females. Different charts and tables were designed to show the statistical data. The mean and standard deviation of numeric pain rating scale, trimester of pregnancy, pelvic girdle questionnaire and age of patient were 3.58 ± 2.011, 2.22 ± 0.735, 28.67 ± 24.027 and 29.49 ± 6.416 respectively. The minimum pain score recorded using numeric pain rating scale was 0 and the maximum pain score recorded was 8. The graph 2 of numeric pain rating scale reveals that 16 of the patients with 0 pain score were in first trimester. The maximum score of pelvic girdle questionnaire was 68 and minimum score was 0. 16 of the patients with 0 score of pelvic girdle questionnaire were in their first trimester of pregnancy as shown in graph 3. Out of 45 patients, 8 females were in first trimester of pregnancy, 19 in second trimester of pregnancy and 18 in third trimester of pregnancy as displayed in Tables 1 and 2. Second trimester had the greater number of patients as compared to the others.

The Table 3 demonstrates the frequency of SI joint pain in pregnancy. After assessing 29 out of 45 showed presence of SI pain. 3 out of 8 were diagnosed with SI pain in first trimester, 14 out of 19 had SI pain in second trimester which is the highest incidence and 12 out of 18 had SI pain third trimester of pregnancy which is explained in Table 4.

There is a weak positive correlation between severity of pain and trimester of pregnancy, spearman, ρ=0.24. The value of P in this case is 0.1 which is greater than 0.05 which shows a non-significant relationship between severity of pain and trimesters of pregnancy.

Table 5 shows the* spearman's correlation between severity of pain and Trimesters of pregnancy and **Pearson's correlation between severity of pain and Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire.
The Table 5 shows strong positive correlation between numeric pain rating scale and pelvic girdle questionnaire score, Pearson's r=0.952. The value of P in this case is less than 0.01 which shows a significant relationship between severity of pain and pelvic girdle questionnaire score. It interprets that as the intensity of the pain increases the pelvic girdle questionnaire score also increases which negatively affects the quality of life of pregnant females.
The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of Sacroiliac joint pain during the three trimesters of pregnancy and to determine the association of severity of sacroiliac pain with first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy and quality of life. The women in this study were in first, second and third trimester of pregnancy ranging from 19 years to 49 years of age. It is recorded that in pregnancy 8 out 10 females suffer from SI joint pain. [16] Studies previously conducted suggest that 65% pregnant women reported of sacroiliac pain in pregnancy which correlates with our study. [17]
The result findings by Rizwan et al. in 2018 are aligned with our study findings in which it was stated that SI joint pain is more prevalent in 2nd trimester as compared to rest of the trimesters. [7] In comparison to research done in 2012 by Aldabe, it was recorded that the pregnant females in first trimester have low incidence of SI joint pain and highest incidence in second trimester. This also corresponds to our study that shows the lowest possibility of SI joint pain is in first trimester and highest in second trimester. [18]
Spearman's rho correlation was used to find the association of severity of pain with the three trimesters of pregnancy. It showed weak association with insignificant p value=0.1. Post Hoc analysis was done which showed less power for determining association between severity of pain and trimester of pregnancy. This is in correspondence to Mahishale et al. study conducted in 2016 in which sample size was 457, incidence of SI joint pain was 65% and severity of pain increased with trimester. [6] Hence, it is suggested that if more sample size would have been taken it would show a significant relationship.
The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) is a tool developed to calculate the quality of life and symptoms of SI pain in pregnancy. It includes the questions regarding daily activities and participation as well as bodily symptoms. [19] Research conducted in 2017, concluded that sacroiliac pain decreases physical health and affects the quality of life during pregnancy. Similarly in our study, the results from Pearson's correlation between numeric pain rating scale and pelvic girdle questionnaire score highlight how the intensity of pain compromises the quality of life. As the SI pain score increases, the PGQS increases, leading to the decrease of quality of life. Wang et al. stated in their study that nearly 30% of pregnant females had to stop performing at least one daily activity due to SI pain and reported that pain also impaired the quality of daily life.
Due to the ongoing pandemic of corona virus, many pregnant females were reluctant to participate in the research which led to small sample size. There is lack of evidence and previous data due to a smaller number of studies conducted in Pakistan. The patients faced difficulty in interpretation of questions in the questionnaire due to language barrier. So, it is important to develop or translate the questionnaire in native languages of Pakistan.
It is recommended that the questionnaire should to be devised in native languages of Pakistan for better interpretation so that more studies can be conducted in Pakistan to support the result findings. The sample size should be large enough to show the significant relationship between numeric pain rating scale and pelvic girdle questionnaire. The study design of prospective cohort should be used in the future studies.
Majority of the pregnant females have SI pain in the second trimester of pregnancy. The intensity of pain increases with the trimester of pregnancy and pelvic girdle questionnaire increased score which decreases the quality of life of pregnant females. In the light of these results pregnant females should seek physiotherapy along with their medical treatment to reduce SI pain.

Q: Correct way to write a params api in node js  app.post('/scripts/:freezeId', scriptsView.findAll);
 app.post('/scripts/deleteScripts', scriptsView.deleteconfig);
Is the only way the second API needs to write on top of the params API or any other ideas are available in node js

A: Express tries to match routes in order.
So, typically, the URL /scripts/deleteScripts will match '/scripts/:freezeId' and run scriptsView.findAll. Then scriptsView.findAll will send a response and end the handling of that request.
Now, scriptsView.findAll could special case deleteScripts and call next() instead, but that means scriptsView.findAll has to know about things outside its remit.
Changing the order so '/scripts/deleteScripts', is tested first is clearer.

A: Instead of app.post you can use app.delete for delete scripts API

Stockton Cited for Student Success
Galloway, N.J. _ Stockton University is included among the top 250 colleges and universities in the nation that successfully enroll economically disadvantaged students and help them graduate and get good jobs.
The Social Mobility Index (SMI) from CollegeNet measures the extent to which a college or university educates more economically disadvantaged students (with family incomes below the national median) at lower tuition and graduates them into good paying jobs.
The index uses several factors, including tuition, student economic background, graduation rate, graduate early career salary and endowment.
Stockton ranked 119 out of the almost 1,500 schools included on the list, placing it in the top 8%.
Stockton has instituted several Student Success initiatives to help underserved students, including the First Ospreys program for students who are the first in their family to attend college. The Student Success Scholars program assists over 200 students with mentoring and academic support.
The offices of Student Transitions Programs and Academic Achievement Programs focus on supporting students through their Stockton experience.
"This is about our ability to change lives," said President Harvey Kesselman.
