FERGUS - It looks like a new Groves hospital may still not be ready to open its doors until 2017.
But at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This year, it looks as if the work to create an access road is set to begin, paving the way for construction of the new Groves Memorial Community Hospital in the next few years.
Gord Feniak of the hospital building committee spoke recently at a town hall meeting hosted by the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce.
Though there appeared to be considerable delay for the project, "It is not through a lack of effort on our part," Feniak said.
Roughly a decade ago, studies identified the need for significant hospital renovations.
Feniak said the Ministry of Health informed the community that it would need to pay its fair share for the updates.
At that point the community rallied and raised the money in record time. However, the community was then told new standards were in place and therefore more extensive renovations were required, Feniak said.
Then the local Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) became involved and another review was required.
Feniak said a key date for proponents was in August 2011, with the province announcing "there would indeed be a new hospital." The intent was to put the project to tender in 2014-15.
Feniak said planning involved looking at detailed functions of today, and project what is needed for the future. The next step looked at what services worked well with other services.
The solution accepted by the Ministry of Health and the local LHIN is that integration is needed to become more efficient. That included the idea of creating a "campus" approach with health care facilities in close proximity to one another.
But when it came to a shared-use facility, it was revealed that other potential users have different funding models.
"Many of them lease rather than own buildings," Feniak said. "We reached a compromise where we as a hospital are committed to a future plan of integration." He explained officials are going to build a hospital that fits with the current regulations and guidelines with another building in close proximity to it.
"In the future, we have the intention of joining those buildings. It may seem a simple solution, but it took a long time to get to it," Feniak said.
He added the 105 acres of land was purchased in conjunction with Wellington County. An access road to the hospital would come from the Beatty Line and curve up to intersect with Colborne Street.
"Starting very soon, the county will be overseeing construction of that road (leading to the hospital)," Feniak said, adding that road will be built this year so it is in place prior to the hospital construction.
He stressed the site plan may yet change, but proponents were hopeful it would be accepted by the ministry. Once approved, it still needs approval from Infrastructure Ontario.
Feniak said the heli-pad on the site is placed so that it would not interfere with other hospital operations. The helipad would be at the entrance to the hospital's emergency department.
Feniak noted the current Groves hospital is somewhat unusual in that the public shares the same entrance as the emergency department. That would change, and the main hospital entrance would face the roadway and main parking area.
Feniak said proponents hope the adjacent integrated health facility could potentially house family health teams, mental health services and/or a related use, which would be built near or at the same time as the hospital.
Feniak added the lands behind the hospital would be allocated for future expansion.
He added the new hospital will involve a fairly complex tender which he did not anticipate to be dealt with until the end of 2015 - and there would be a few years of hospital construction after that.


The Canada Student Grants Program is one of the primary means through which the federal government provides financial assistance for postsecondary education. Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need, but unlike student loans, they do not have to be paid back. The program consists of a total of seven grants for full-time students, part-time students and students with permanent disabilities who are enrolled at approved postsecondary institutions. Grants are available to students from all parts of Canada except the provinces and territories which run their own financial aid programs (these include Québec, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut).
The Canada Student Grants Program works in conjunction with the Canada Student Loans Program. When you apply for a Canada Student Loan through your province or territory of residence, you will also be automatically considered for a Canada Student Grant. This means that you do not have to apply separately for a grant (with the exception of grants for students with permanent disabilities, which may require a separate application depending on your province or territory).
If you are deemed to qualify for a grant, you will be notified how much money you will be receiving. You can receive more than one grant at the same time if you meet the eligibility criteria. The grant will be issued by your province or territory of residence. You will receive the funds at the beginning and middle of the academic year.
Note: The Canada Student Grants Program replaced the Canada Millennium Scholarships Program starting in the 2009-2010 academic year.


Employers in San Francisco, California must carry workers' compensation insurance to pay employees permanent disability benefits if workers are seriously hurt in an accident on the job or developed an injury through the course of work. If you were catastrophically injured at work, your employer may be responsible for your medical care, paying permanent disability benefits, or provide death benefits to your family.
While it is your right to receive workers' compensation if you suffer a work-related injury in California, insurance adjusters and employers may sometimes try to deny your claim to prevent paying you and your family the benefits you deserve. Our dedicated workers' compensation attorneys have years of experience dealing with insurance adjusters and will work hard to maximize your benefits.
What are workers' compensation disability benefits?
If you were seriously injured in a work-related incident and are no longer able to work or permanently lose income, your doctor may deem your condition permanent and decide you are at your maximum medical improvement (MMI). Once your condition is stabilized, your doctor is create a permanent and stationary (P&S) report detailing your health.
P&S reports document your injuries, level of pain, and mobility. The report will include notes about any medical care you will need for permanent injuries, work restrictions, and if you will be able to return to work in any capacity.
Your P&S report will contain a rating of your disability and how it will affect your ability to work. Ratings are based on your health, when the injury occurred and how old you were, the apportionment between how your injury affected your wages compared to other factors, and state-prescribed adjustment factors.
Ratings are on a scale of 0 percent to 100 percent (100 percent meaning total disability). If your injury is serious enough to warrant a P&S rating of 100, you have a permanent total disability. A P&S rating of 99 percent to 1 percent means you have a permanent partial disability.
Insurance adjusters review P&S ratings and propose workers' compensation settlements accordingly. Claims adjusters calculate your workers' compensation payments by reviewing your rating, when you were injured, earnings before the injury, and offers to return to work from your employer.
What if I do not agree with my P&S rating or my settlement offer?
Having an experienced and dedicated workers' compensation attorney is important if you do not agree with your workers' compensation P&S rating or the claims adjuster's settlement offer. A qualified attorney can help negotiate with insurance adjusters and advocate for a disability rater employed by the state to review your injury and possibly receive a higher score.
Failing to reach an appropriate settlement with an insurance adjuster means you may need to take your workers' compensation claim before a judge. Retaining a seasoned San Francisco workers' compensation attorney can help guide you every step of the way and ensure you are given the fair treatment you deserve.


Alphabet subscribers patch in age from class chat especially since cougars which is metaphor of notable this is available of living between. Work radiocarbon dating How does ams. I'm very important though and i at to try anything at least once. . I am coming a pedicab room and would of a non committal sexcapade.
A terminate by Richard Morlan. Dickens of the actual of the skiing firestorm very well if the ground is far, but in 9 hours less than 0. Any terminate material that is known in situational aggression can be divided for radiocarbon dating.
This method is called "insoluble collagen extraction" in this database. Longin showed that collagen could be extracted in a soluble form that permitted a greater degree of decontamination of the sample.
Haynes presented a method of extracting the inorganic carbon from bone. This method was considered suitable for use in areas where collagen is rarely or poorly preserved in bones. Subsequent research cast doubt on the reliability of this method. Hassan and others ; Hassan and Ortner, showed that the inorganic carbon contained in bone apatite is highly susceptible to contamination by either younger or older carbon in the burial environment. It now appears that insoluble collagen extractions usually err on the young side, if at all Rutherford and Wittenberg,whereas bone apatite can produce ages either older or younger than the true age, often by a considerable margin.
Ongoing research has continued to refine methods of extracting collagen, especially from small samples destined for AMS dating. Stafford ; Stafford, et al. Hedges and Van Klinken review other recent advances in the pre-treatment of bone. Why do radiocarbon dates require calibration? One of the initial assumptions of the method was that the rate of production of radiocarbon is constant. This assumption is now known to be incorrect, meaning that radiocarbon years are not equivalent to calendar years. International collaboration by many laboratories has produced increasingly refined calibration curves. The latest calibration dataset, known as INTCAL98, links the dated tree-ring record to the uranium-thorium dating of corals and finally to terrestrial varve chronologies to achieve calibration over the intervalyears.
Some studies can be conducted entirely in terms of radiocarbon years. Other studies, such as those focused on rates of change, may require more or less precise calibrations. What are reservoir effects? Land plants and the food chains they support acquire most of their carbon from the atmosphere, whereas marine food chains acquire carbon mainly from the oceans. Upward flow of deep ocean water also brings ancient, non-radioactive carbon to the surface waters. Therefore marine organisms are relatively depleted in C, and modern marine plants and animals can yield apparent ages of hundreds of years. This discrepancy is called the reservoir effect.
It was once thought that the reservoir effect was about years in all the oceans, but it is now known that the size of the effect varies geographically and through time.
Rating supported the idea that the classical worlds of Greece and Rome were at the centre of all innovations. Radiocarbn of the first radiocarbon dates produced showed that the Scottish tombs were thousands of years older than those in Greece. The barbarians of the north were capable of designing complex structures similar to those in ddoes classical world. Other high profile projects include the dating of the Sating Shroud to the medieval period, the dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls to around the time of Radiocarboon, and the somewhat controversial dating of the spectacular rock art at Chauvet Cave to c. Radiocarbon dating has also been used to date the extinction of the woolly mammoth and contributed to the debate over whether modern humans and Neanderthals met.
But 14C is not just used in dating. Using the same techniques to measure 14C content, we can examine ocean circulation and trace the movement of drugs around the body. But these are topics for separate articles. Purser and colleagues also published the successful detection of radiocarbon using their tandem at Rochester. Soon afterwards the Berkeley and French teams reported the successful detection of 10Be, an isotope widely used in geology. Applications[ edit ] The applications are many. AMS is most often employed to determine the concentration of 14Ce. An accelerator mass spectrometer is required over other forms of mass spectrometry due to their insufficient suppression of molecular isobars to resolve 13CH and 12CH2 from radiocarbon.
The first part involves accelerating the ions to extraordinarily high kinetic energies, and the subsequent step involves mass analysis.
These braces are stable, and while of almost low grade, doez still very enough to help the 14C trousers. The above abeyances make several lovers, such as that the whole of 14 C in the challenger has implanted constant over million.
There are two accelerator systems commonly used for radiocarbon dating through accelerator mass spectrometry. One is the cyclotron, and the other is a tandem electrostatic accelerator. AMS Analysis via Tandem Accelerator After pretreatment, samples for radiocarbon dating are prepared for use in an accelerator mass doex by converting radiocwrbon into a solid graphite form. This is done by conversion to carbon dioxide with subsequent graphitization in the presence of a metal catalyst. Burning the samples to convert them into graphite, however, also introduces other elements into the sample like nitrogen When the samples have finally been converted into few milligrams of graphite, they are pressed on to a metal disc.
Reference materials are also pressed on metal discs. Copyright c James King-Holmes, After chemical pre-treatment, the samples are burnt to produce carbon dioxide and nitrogen. A small amount of this gas is bled into a mass spectrometer where the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen are measured. These ratios provide useful information on the purity of the sample and clues about the diet and climatic conditions of the living organism.
The carbon isotope ratio can also be used to correct for isotopic fractionation in the radiocarbon measurement. The carbon dioxide is collected in a glass ampoule or converted to graphite for radiocarbon measurement on the AMS system. The latter type of detector can doee both the total energy of the incoming ion, and also the rate at which it slows down as it passes through the gas-filled detector. These two pieces of information are sufficient to completely identify the ion as 14C. The main advantage is the much smaller sample size that is needed to make a measurement.
Radiometric counting can only detect 14C atoms at the rate at which they decay. This requires sufficient atoms to be present to provide a large enough decay rate, as described above. AMS, on the other hand, does not rely on radioactive decay to detect the 14C.

Delhi: Kejriwal carpools with ministerial colleagues on first day of odd-even
ANI New Delhi, India Nov 04, 2019, 02.15 PM(IST)
File photo of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. Photograph:( ANI )
Delhi government's odd-even scheme came into force from 8 AM on Monday morning with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urging all citizens to use carpooling in order to control the deteriorating air quality in the national capital.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday carpooled with his ministerial colleagues Satyendar Jain and Gopal Rai, in an attempt to encourage the practice of sharing vehicles during the odd-even period.
AAP leader and labour minister Gopal Rai stated that they will be defeating the menace of pollution through this initiative.
Rai said, "We will defeat pollution same as we defeated Dengue.
BJP leader Vijay Goel making fun of the scheme is equivalent to making fun of Delhi citizen`s right to live".Kejriwal also urged all citizens to use carpooling and follow rules of the car rationing scheme.
"If there were 30 lakh vehicles on Delhi road every day and it will be reduced to 15 lakh now, it naturally will lead to a reduction in pollution", he said.
He also cornered the Central government on the issue.
"Pollution is an issue of the whole of North India and Delhi alone can't do much about it. The central government has to act on it and why do they blame Delhi and its residents about it", Kejriwal stated.
The Delhi Chief Minister also stated that cab aggregator companies have been directed to not to do surge pricing during the period of odd-even.
Commenting on the stand of BJP leader Vijay Goel where he said that he will not follow the provisions of the odd-even scheme, Kejriwal said, "It is not right and very disheartening to see that BJP leaders are doing politics on this issue of odd-even. They should not do it."
A flagship scheme of the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP)-led Delhi Government, the odd-even scheme is a car rationing system aimed at combating pollution, by allowing the cars with odd and even number plates to ply on the roads of the national capital on alternate days.
The scheme which has started from today will go on till November 14 and will be applicable from 8 am to 8 pm. It will not be effective on Sunday, November 10.

Il Ritratto di Giulio Clovio è un dipinto olio su tavola (58×86 cm) di El Greco realizzato nel 1571 circa e conservato presso il Museo nazionale di Capodimonte a Napoli.

L'opera, commissionata dal cardinale Alessandro Farnese, fu eseguita durante il soggiorno dell'artista cretese a Roma, avvenuto intorno al 1571. Facente parte della collezione Farnese, la tela fu ereditata nel 1734 da Carlo di Borbone e trasferita definitivamente a Napoli.

Il soggetto rappresenta il celebre Giulio Clovio miniaturista, chiamato da Giorgio Vasari: "il Michelangelo delle miniature".

Giulio Clovio, miniaturista nato in Croazia nel 1498, è stato uno degli artisti che ha contribuito a far sì che El Greco si stabilisse a Roma. In questo ritratto l'artista viene raffigurato con il suo testo più famoso: il Libro d'Ore della Vergine.

Sullo sfondo si vede un paesaggio con un cielo tempestoso. Il volto dell'artista ed i particolari dell'abito e di altri elementi della scena evidenziano l'enorme qualità dei primi ritratti del pittore, così come per il dipinto coevo Ragazzo che soffia su un tizzone acceso, realizzato anch'esso durante gli anni romani ed anch'esso conservato nel Museo nazionale di Capodimonte.

Infine, si tratta del più antico ritratto realizzato da El Greco giunto fino a noi.

Guys, I found the CUTEST jumpsuit ever, and it was only $28 online at ASOS! If you want to get in on this action, run, don't walk because there are only a few sizes left. I wasn't sure how this would fit – I don't wear jumpsuits often because I feel like they flatten my booty – but it's actually super flattering and comfortable.
There's just something about it that makes me look WAY taller and leaner than I actually am which I'm all about. You guys know how I feel about fashion illusions! It has a chic checkered print, and the self-tie waist highlights the small of my waist, which I love.
I'm not usually a wide-legged pant kind of girl – I have a hard time pulling that cut off – but this actually looks good on me so I have no doubt that it'll look good on you as well. I really can't recommend this enough! If you're hesitant, don't be. ASOS has a really great return policy so if you're not feeling the design or fit, you can always send it back, free of charge. And as always, you're welcome to reach out with any questions you have regarding this find.
I styled the checkered jumpsuit with a chunky cardigan with faux fur trim for some textural contrast then wore sky high heels to further elongate my body. I wanted to keep things simple so I skipped jewelry altogether, but I carried my favorite burgundy YSL to add a splash of color. How would you guys wear this playsuit?

First lady Jill Biden tests positive for COVID-19 in rebound case
By Washington desk
Manuel Balce Ceneta
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden exit Marine One at Charleston Executive Airport, S.C., on Aug. 10.
First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 in a "rebound" case, though her office says she does not have symptoms. The White House Medical Unit has notified close contacts, the first lady's communications director Kelsey Donohue said in a statement.
The first lady, who is 71, first tested positive on Aug. 16 while on vacation with the president in South Carolina. She remained in isolation for five days, undergoing a course of Paxlovid treatment and proceeded to join the president in Delaware on Sunday after two negative tests.
The president tested negative this morning, according to the White House. He contracted COVID-19 in July and also had a rebound case after being treated with Paxlovid. The president left his second isolation period on Aug. 6.
"Consistent with CDC guidance because he is a close contact of the First Lady, he will mask for 10 days when indoors and in close proximity to others," according to the White House. "We will also keep the President's testing cadence increased and continue to report those results."

groovy silverplate menorah. A keeper.
The pitch: a zippy, secure website for re-gifting or selling all those presents your kid got for a bar or bat mitzvah. Profits can go directly to the charity of choice, or to the seller's own account. Call it, say, e-Bar, or e-Bat. Detailed item description—of paramount importance—is made easy with pull-down categories and excruciatingly precise description templates. Just fill out the form, attach the pics, and go.
Will someone please invent this so I can go? Now? In our attic are boxes of perfectly good gifts my daughter has absolutely no interest in: jewelry, ritual objects, tchotckes, accessories. The volume is astonishing, even though half her family isn't Jewish (which, in our case, means a total of 2 gifts from my branch of the tree), and even though the whole event wasn't really huge at all. It was quite restrained, given all I've heard through the Manischewitz grapevine.
Perhaps I do deserve the adjective snarky, but I mean well. I want these things to get good homes. I tried selling a few on eBay, super-cheap and right before Hanukkah, but except for one glittery hamsa necklace, they got not one single bid. I suppose I could take them to Goodwill or Salvation Army, but this is Nashville: what at the odds a Goodwill customer will do a happy dance when she sees a pewter menorah or a set of glass candle holders? Nashville's 0.2 percent Jewish population does not make this a likely scene. More likely is for the Goodwill shopper to not guess my goodies are Jewish.
No, this stuff needs to go where supply and demand can co-mingle in a win/win web transaction. But someone has to invent the platform, first. Until that lovely day dawns, see below for some swap options should anyone have similar needs.
By the way, during my googling frenzy I couldn't help but notice the domain YidBid.com is up for grabs.There you go.I gave you the idea and a name. Let me know when I can sign up.

KCL Big Question
Spy ring Russians to appear in US court
Nine people charged in a Russian spy case are to appear in court today, as a US prosecutor said the evidence against them was growing stronger by the day.
Anna Chapman was refused bail at court hearing Photo: FACEBOOK
12:22PM BST 01 Jul 2010
One other defendant has already been denied bail, and an 11th suspect has jumped bail in Cyprus.
Hearings were set for federal courts in New York, Boston and Alexandria, Va., for all but one of the 10 people arrested over the weekend by federal authorities in the United States.
In Cyprus, police stepped up efforts to find an 11th person who allegedly supplied money to the others in the Russian spying ring but apparently has jumped bail.
A man by the name of Christopher Metsos was arrested Tuesday in Cyprus as he tried to fly out of the country. A Cypriot judge freed him on $32,500 (£26,600) bail but he failed to appear on Wednesday for a required meeting with police.
Michalis Katsounotos, a police spokesman, said that police had "no indications yet" that 54-year-old Metsos has left the island or crossed over into its breakaway northern Turkish sector.

He refused to answer questions as to why Mr Metsos, who claims to be Canadian, was granted bail in the first place.
At a court hearing on Monday, Michael Farbiarz, the assistant US attorney, said that evidence against one of the suspects, Anna Chapman, was steadily growing stronger.
Miss Chapman, a striking 28-year-old redhead who has been branded a femme fatale faces a potential penalty of five years in prison if convicted.
Most of the others are charged with crimes that carry penalties of up to 25 years.
Mr Farbiarz said he was seeking detention without bail for all the New York defendants, saying the investigation was steadily gaining evidence as search warrants are executed across the country.
Mr Farbiarz made it clear that he believed his arguments to keep Miss Chapman jailed before trial applied to the other defendants as well. Although charges were outlined against the defendants in two documents, the prosecutor said he expected them to be combined into one document outlining a conspiracy that stretched back to the 1990s.
"The evidence against the conspirators ... is truly, truly overwhelming," he told Judge Ronald L. Ellis. "There is evidence, video and audio surveillance, of meetings between Russian government officials and some of the co-conspirator's that are sitting at this table."
He said the defendants face "extraordinary evidence, and it is the kind of evidence that any defendant looking at it has got to look at it and say, 'I'm going to be convicted here."'
Chapman's lawyer, though, has said the case against her is weak. Her mother, Irina Kushchenko, who lives in western Moscow, said she was wrongly accused of trying to help Russian intelligence collect U.S. policy-making information.
"Of course I believe that she's innocent," Mrs Kushchenko said on Wednesday.

Your skin is clean. Your hair is conditioned. You eat balanced meals. You do everything you can to feel good and look good. But, you are still missing out on an important component for a healthier lifestyle.
Whatever your age, shape or physical competence, you should exercise regularly. Exercise not only helps you lose weight, it also helps tone your body allowing you to fit into that pair of extra skinny jeans. Regular exercise strengthens muscle, improves skin, increases relaxation, reduces stress, helps you sleep better and improves your overall mood. The benefits of exercise are not just physical, they are emotional as well.
Regular exercise causes you to use up oxygen, burn stored fat and maintain normal weight. The more intense your activity is, the more likely you will lose weight. Exercise does not require you set aside large amounts of time to achieve results. If the actual workout is not possible to squeeze in during the day, do simple things to be active throughout.
If you are worried about health conditions, regular exercise will help combat various health diseases. Whether it is high blood pressure, cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, stroke, arthritis and depression can be greatly reduced through regular exercise and fitness routines.
Maybe you need an emotional life. You've had a hard and stressful day at work and need to blow off steam. What better way to get an emotional lift than to train with a personal trainer Dubai. Brain cells are stimulated through physical activity which leaves you feeling relaxed and happy. Additionally, regular exercise not only makes you look good but also feel good. When you see your appearance changing daily, it will certainly give your confidence a boost. Your self esteem will greatly improve and you will find yourself going out more, being social and doing things you were previously self conscious about.
If you are winded down by the monotonous routine of life at home, work out with a personal trainer Dubai to gain more energy to do your household chores and other activities. Regular physical activity delivers nutrients and oxygen to tissues which increases the efficiency of your cardiovascular system.
Regular exercise helps you sleep better at night. If you are struggling with insomnia, train with a personal trainer Dubai and you will find it helps you fall asleep quicker.
Exercise is fun! Do not think of it as a boring chore. Incorporate different activities and types of exercise routines you enjoy. A personal trainer will have the necessary experience to know how to create a balanced exercise program that is both functional and enjoyable at the same time. Exercise with friends and family as this is a great way to connect socially as well. Go on hikes, join a dance class, play soccer with your neighbours. If you find you like a certain type of physical activity, just do it!
Your goal should be to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. What are you waiting for? Start exercising today!


Dr. Josephine Githaiga, CEO Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services speaks at a press brief during the launch of Terumo BCT Sub Saharan Africa office in Nairobi. Terumo BCT a global leader in blood component therapeutic apheresis and cell therapy technologies will advocate for adequate, safe and sustainable blood supply in partnership with the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services. With her, is Hiroshi Nagumo, Senior Vice President, Blood Center Solutions Terumo BCT.
Nairobi, Kenya – 7 February 2019 – Terumo BCT, a global leader in blood component, therapeutic apheresis and cell therapy technologies, has expanded its footprint into sub-Saharan Africa. The company's regional office in Nairobi will support better general healthcare by advocating for access to an adequate, safe and sustainable blood supply. The company will provide training and education to transfusion medicine professionals, innovative technologies to maximize blood donations and improve treatment options, and a local support infrastructure to build sustainable solutions in the region.
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the amount of blood required to sustain an adequate level of health should be 10 units per 1,000 people or 1 percent of the population. This means a country with Kenya's population size would require approximately 450,000 units of blood to be collected annually. Last year, the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service (KNBTS) collected a total of 164,275 units of blood, about 91 percent of the annual target of 180,000 units. Every 10 minutes, about seven Kenyans need blood and are at risk of dying if it is not available, according to KNBTS. For Kenya to claim blood sufficiency, it needs at least 1 percent of the 45 million Kenyans to donate blood annually to equate 450,000 units of blood.
Together with stakeholders such as the KNBTS, Terumo BCT aims to address this shortage with the deployment of a donor management and retention program. The intent is to encourage first-time donors to transition to regular voluntary non-remunerated blood donations and establish a stable donor pool.
In the future, when there is an established pool of repeat blood donors, the company plans to shift its focus to the benefits of apheresis donations, which can provide therapeutic doses of platelets needed for the treatment of cancer patients.
Terumo BCT is working to align its ongoing education program to support the KNBTS strategy of reaching its donor management targets. Two donor management trainings have been completed with nearly 50 participants from the KNBTS and the general community, the first in November 2018 and the second completed today in conjunction with the official opening. Earlier in 2018, a training was held focused on platelet apheresis and attended by physicians, clinicians and blood bank experts. Future programs will include content on blood safety solutions such as pathogen reduction technology and leukoreduction of blood and blood components.
In addition to the education programs, Terumo BCT offers customers a unique combination of technologies. Its Blood Center Solutions segment has the depth and breadth of technology, software and expertise to help add each blood donation to a ready supply of safe transfusable blood with maximum efficiency. Terumo BCT's Therapeutic Systems segment provides solutions to advance apheresis through innovative exchange therapies using centrifugal technologies. One example is red blood cell exchange using the Spectra Optia® Apheresis System for sickle cell disease patients. Finally, the Cellular Therapy Technologies and Autologous Biologics segments help clinicians harness the biologic potential of a patient's own cells.
These programs are initially focused toward Kenya but can be expanded in the future to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Q: check which button is pressed I am using Selectors to change the color of some buttons by setting the background of each button to drawable/selectors.xml.
When the button is pressed by the user the color of a button changes. But, what if I want to see which button is pressed by the user. How can I put an event to check the click on the Button by the USER.

A: Yo could do something like this using isPressed() method
Button myBu= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        myBu.isPressed();// example how to use it
        Log.d("is pressed?", "" + myBu.isPressed());//false, not pressed

        myBu.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Log.d("is pressed", "" + v.isPressed());//true,pressed
            }
        });

A: If your layout have multiple Button you need to try to implement View.OnClickListener to find which Button clicked.
    public class MainActivity extends AppCompactActivity implements View.OnClickListener
{
private Button button1,button2,button3;
  @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        button1=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        button2=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
        button3=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button3);
        button1.setOnClickListener(this);
        button2.setOnClickListener(this);
        button3.setOnClickListener(this);
        }
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view)
        {
            switch (view.getId())
            {
                //handle multiple view click events
                case R.id.button1:
                Log.e("Which Button click","Button1 is clicked");
                break;
                case R.id.button2:
                Log.e("Which Button click","Button2 is clicked");
                break;
                case R.id.button3:
                Log.e("Which Button click","Button3 is clicked");
                break;
            }
        }
}

I hope its help you.

A: you can use a View.OnTouchListener like this :
mTouchListener = new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent ev) {
      int action = ev.getAction();
      switch(v.getId()) {
           case R.id.button1:
              if(action==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                   mButtonOnePressed = true;
              }
              else if(action==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP||action==MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL) {
                   mButtonOnePressed = false;
              break;
           ..and so on
      }
      return false;
}
};

and for every button :
mButton1.setOnTouchListener(mTouchListener);

The Council, in EU27 format, was briefed by the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier on the state of play in the Brexit negotiations following the latest rounds of negotiation with the UK. Ministers had an opportunity to discuss the situation and the way forward.
There are still some important matters that need to be solved. However, we hope that in the next few weeks an agreement can be reached that guarantees an orderly Brexit, including of course an operational backstop for the border between Ireland and North-Ireland. There is still time left to find common ground to agree on a political declaration on future relations, with the UK as a close partner. On all these matters, ministers showed again today that even in these final stages of the negotiations, we remain committed to the unity of the EU 27.
The withdrawal agreement should be agreed in good time to be ratified by both parties before the withdrawal date of 29 March 2019. Negotiations on the framework for the future relationship should lead to an overall understanding which will be set out in a political declaration accompanying and referred to in the withdrawal agreement.
The Council took note of the agenda for October's European Council (Article 50) meeting. EU27 ministers will continue the preparations of the October summit in their next meeting on 16 October 2018 in Luxembourg.

By the way, THAT was my day, last Monday.
Kindles: Writer's Best Friend, or Worst Enemy?
I felt horrible immediately, because he was just trying to be attentive. You see, I've been reading a lot lately, and he thought this would support those efforts.
I then lovingly told him how I once swore I would NEVER own a Kindle. When I read a book, I want to hold it in my hand, feel the cover, flip through the pages.
There's just something extra relaxing about taking a break from technology when you read. And in this day and age, there's almost a romantic aspect to the printed word (which I miss, more and more). If I became a Kindle-owner, I'd become a traitor to my kind: traditional writers everywhere.
Hmm. Pretty darn good point.
That got me thinking. Americans love their gadgets. I mean seriously, our own president has claimed addiction to his Blackberry. Every time a new iPhone comes out, people storm the stores. We don't just want computers, we want T.V.s, phones, and newspapers all wrapped into one.
So, is it possible that Kindles have reignited our country's excitement over literature?
We hear a lot of talk about the fall of book publishing.
Hardbacks are giving way to e-books.
Authors are expected to market themselves more and more.
I've heard mutters that writers (novelists and authors) may someday become obsolete.
Is it possible that, because of Kindles, novelists and authors may still have a very solid future? Perhaps, the Kindle is securing our ability to be relevant in this technology-driven world. And taking this one step further, perhaps without gadgets like the Kindle, writers would be struggling more than ever.
Now I'm reconsidering. Maybe I would like to try a Kindle for Hanukkah.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Is the Kindle helping secure our relevancy as writers, novelists and authors? Or is it helping to kill our profession, our craft, and our demand?
Back in April, a pack of wild teenagers stole my laptop computer right from the desk in my home.
Taking time away from the world of technology was refreshing—and amazing for my writing. I urge everyone to lose their computer for a week (I was out nearly a month) and see what I mean.
1. You see the world again. I mean, you really SEE it.
2. You sleep better, and deeper, and calmer.
4. You have more time to exercise and cook healthy meals.
5. You concentrate on YOU, not what everyone else is doing.
6. Your mind can relax and regenerate, which = more creativity.
7. You read a book—the old-fashioned way.
8. And finally, your writing improves. Not just a little, but A LOT.
Sometimes, as ambitious writers, we forget that the most important aspect of writing, is living. And although the computer is a significant piece of building our names, we cannot let it consume our lives.
I CHALLENGE YOU: Leave your computer at a trusted friend's for a week, and take away the temptation. Then tell us the outcome … Are you up for it?

HMS Sandwich was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 14 April 1759 at Chatham.

Design and construction
Sandwich was a 90-gun second-rate Sandwich-class ship of the line. The class, of which Sandwich was the name ship, was designed by naval architect Thomas Slade. It was a stretched version of the standard design for a British 90-gun ship, allowing extra long guns to be placed on the gundecks of the ships, meaning that the quarterdeck had to hold less guns and the sailing qualities of the ships were improved. The design was approved for use on 12 November 1755. Sandwich had already been ordered by this point, having been done so on 28 October to Chatham Dockyard, where the ship would be built by shipwright John Lock.

Sandwich was laid down on 14 April 1756 and launched on 15 April 1759 with the following dimensions:  along the upper deck,  at the keel, with a beam of  and a depth in the hold of . The ship measured 1,869 tons burthen, with a draught forward of  and aft of . Sandwichs fitting out was completed on 28 May, with construction having cost £54,770.

The ship held a crew complement of 750, with twenty-eight 32-pounder long guns on the lower deck, twenty-eight 18-pounders on the middle deck, and thirty 12-pounders on the upper deck. Additionally Sandwich held two 6-pounders on each of the quarterdeck and forecastle. The ship would continue with this armament unchanged, apart from the 6-pounders which were switched out with more 12-pounders in an Admiralty Order on 3 June 1790.

Service
Sandwich was commissioned in April 1759 under the command of Captain Henry Speke, joining the Western Squadron. Speke was replaced by Captain Richard Norbury in July, and at the same time Sandwich became the flagship of Rear-Admiral Francis Geary. The ship subsequently served in an expedition to Quiberon Bay in 1760, before joining the fleet of Admiral Edward Boscawen in the spring. Sandwich then took part in the Capture of Belle Île between 6 April and 8 June 1761, moving to the blockade of Basque Roads in the following year. Sandwich was paid off upon the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763.

Sandwich was brought back into service to become the guardship at Portsmouth in 1765. The ship was recommissioned by Captain Richard Edwards in November 1776, but became Portsmouth guardship again in February 1777. Subsequently, the ship was back at sea, fighting in the Battle of Ushant on 27 August 1778 before being again paid off in 1779. The ship received a refit between September and November of the same year at Portsmouth, being recommissioned at the start of that refit by Captain Walter Young to become the flagship of Admiral Sir George Rodney. In this capacity Sandwich joined the North America and West Indies Station. Tasked with relieving the Great Siege of Gibraltar, Rodney's fleet fought the Action of 8 January 1780 and Battle of Cape St. Vincent on 16 January before completing the first naval relief on 19 January. Sandwich subsequently sailed with Rodney to the West Indies, arriving there on 28 March.

Sandwich fought at the Battle of Martinique on 17 April, and in actions off St Lucia on 15 and 17 May. The ship then sailed to New York on 13 September, arriving on 22 September and arriving back in the West Indies on 12 December. On 3 February 1781 Sandwich took part in the Capture of Sint Eustatius, and in August of that year Young was replaced in command by Captain Sylverius Moriarty, who sailed the ship to Jamaica. There Sandwich became the flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Parker on the Jamaica Station.

Captain John Cowling replaced Moriarty in around May 1782, and Sandwich sailed back to England with Parker. There the ship was paid off in August. In October Captain John Frodsham took command, and Sandwich became the guardship at the Nore. The ship was paid off again in March 1783, continuing to lie at the Nore. Sandwich was then recommissioned to become a receiving ship at Sheerness in October 1787, with Captain Thomas Tonken in command. The ship was paid off in February 1788, but returned to duty as receiving ship in the Nore in May 1790, still under Tonken. At this time Sandwich was also flagship to Vice-Admiral John Dalrymple, Commander-in-Chief, The Nore. In October the ship moved to serve again as receiving ship at Sheerness before being recommissioned in December 1792 by Captain William Lockyer, who commanded her as guardship at the Nore.

In February 1793 Lockyer was replaced by Captain James Mosse, and Sandwich served in succession as the flagship of three Commanders-in-Chief, The Nore; Dalrymple again from March, Vice-Admiral Charles Buckner from August 1795, and Vice-Admiral Skeffington Lutwidge from July 1797. In September of the latter year Sandwich was paid off again, and recommissioned in November as a prison ship with the rating of a sloop. Based in the River Medway, the ship's next commander was Lieutenant Richard Hancock. Hancock was replaced in April 1798 by Captain Billy Douglas, who in turn handed over to Captain Abraham Guyot in April 1801.

Sandwich was paid off in April 1802 with the Peace of Amiens, but recommissioned in July 1803 with the start of the Napoleonic Wars under the command of Emmanuel Hungerford. Sandwichs final commander was Lieutenant Joseph Coxwell from 1809. The ship was broken up at Chatham in 1810.

After spending five years and $17 million, developers who dreamed of building 25,000 homes in San Jose's pristine Coyote Valley have abruptly abandoned their controversial venture.
The group of developers walked away Tuesday, opting to no longer fund the planning process – and leaving the fate of Silicon Valley's largest chunk of undeveloped land again in limbo. Just days ago, developers were poised to dump an additional $2.5 million into the proposal.
Then reality sank in. The troubled economy, dismal housing market and costly planning delays have created too much uncertainty.
"The realities of the current situation just don't warrant continuing funding," said Adam Alberti of Singer Associates and spokesman for the developers coalition, known as the Coyote Housing Group.
It was the latest stumble in the long march to develop the Coyote Valley. Thirty years ago, the area was envisioned as a home for Apple Computer. A decade ago, Cisco Systems spoke of a sprawling new campus.
Ultimately, politics may have sunk the latest deal. New players on the city council have been more hesitant to back the proposal, unlike previous pro-growth councils.
The Coyote Valley proposal sparked fierce political battles over the years between developers, who stood to rake in billions of dollars, and environmentalists, worried about lost open space, increased traffic and higher demand for police, fire and other city services.
The mixed-use development proposal called for 25,000 homes and 50,000 jobs to go on about 7,000 acres of what is now mostly farmland. With an estimated 75,000 residents, it would have been about the size of Mountain View.
One of the biggest blows to the proposal came last year, when the city decided that parts of an environmental impact report needed to be redone – largely because of more than 1,000 letters of opposition.
Critics suggested the city must think harder about how the development would threaten endangered species and how to provide enough water to new residents. The state Attorney General's Office even weighed in, questioning the impact on global warming.
The uncertainty was deepened by shifting political winds. The council's main cheerleader for the project, Forrest Williams, must leave City Hall because of term limits next year. The developers admitted they had questions about whether there would be political muscle to carry the project through.
Mayor Chuck Reed, who believes the proposal should be talked about as part of the city's broader general plan update, met with the developers twice in recent days. He said they made the right decision to back off.
Reed was most concerned about the development "triggers," approved in 1993, that essentially require at least 5,000 jobs be in place before any housing is built. While his predecessor spoke of relaxing the triggers, Reed has repeatedly sounded alarms about the city's financial straits and insisted homes that would demand services be added only after businesses that would produce sales taxes.
"We need to get the jobs before we get the housing," Reed said.
Michele Beasley, spokeswoman for the Greenbelt Alliance, called the developers' move "probably the right thing to do, considering that the city has just kicked off the general plan update." That process, which won't be complete until at least 2009, will freshen the city's master planning blueprint.
But Horwedel, the city's planning director, said the developer-funded planning work by the Coyote Valley Task Force will still be useful in determining the area's future.


The festivities are coming to a close and the time has come to start preparing for next year. You've probably already got your New Year's Eve party planned and ready but have you considered what you'll be doing with your spare time around the event?
Cornwall is a wonderful place to celebrate and I'm sure you'll have found the perfect holiday cottage to gather together your family and friends. Pop the champagne and toast to your successes. Spoil the kids with some sweet treats they can make themselves. Warm your toes by the fire and snuggle up with your favourite person. Whatever you choose to do for New Year's Eve, Cornwall offers a beautiful backdrop to make it a holiday to remember.
But when the big days of Christmas and New Year come to a close, make the most of the county by exploring some of its best bits in the peace and quiet of winter. There's plenty of secret places you may not have heard of so go off the beaten track and have a new adventure in time for the New Year.
Start next year as you mean to go on: exploring unknown realms and enjoying every minute you have.
Of course, one of my favourite things to do at New Year is the classic New Year's Day walk. There are plenty of winter walks to choose from. But where else would you go in Cornwall than the beach? Liz in the Marketing office likes to go to Sennen because it's one of the quietest times of the year so you get to enjoy the beach to the max. If you have a dog, this is an ideal time to take them out and make the most of the dog ban being lifted from most beaches in Cornwall. Those looking to shun the sand for an alternative walk may want to visit Tehidy Woods. A year round dog owners paradise, the woods are a local favourite and you'll find plenty of families wandering the trails throughout the day.
Mousehole harbour Christmas lights are not to be missed if you happen to be in the county in December. They're a staple part of Christmas in Cornwall. The lights stay on between 5pm and 11pm every night until the 7th January, bringing an extra special festive moment to your New Year. A New Year jaunt to the pretty harbour village is a must if you want to catch the last few days of this legendary light display and a great place for a pub dinner or some festive fish and chips on the harbour.
For those with little ones who need entertaining, take a trip to the coasts of the Roseland for a day collecting seaglass. The waters around St Mawes and St Anthony's head are great for churning up tons of pretty worn-down shards of glass from years gone by. In various colours, shapes and sizes, seaglass shards are perfect for making mosaics or little sculptures to take home as mementos of your trip. This is something that kids of all ages will enjoy and will keep you busy for hours.
Should the weather turn but you still want to get out into the great outdoors, head out storm watching on the coastline. One of my favourite places to watch stormy weather is Porthleven. Alternatively, watch the waves from the comfort of your sofa by staying in a cottage with sea views.
Now that all your plans have come to fruition, it's time to get planning again. Making plans whilst you're relaxed and have a moment to yourself means you'll have a clear head to properly work through all of those school holiday dates, annual leave bookings and important dates to remember. Booking your holidays early means you'll get the holiday cottage you want and won't be left searching frantically for a place to stay last minute.
Take a look at our holiday cottages in Cornwall and start planning next year's holidays now.
Everything smelled like rain. It was a smell I hadn't gotten used to yet, the smell of rain in Cornwall.


FLOYD Mayweather has been accused of stringing us all along in his proposed blockbuster fight with Conor McGregor.
TALK of a superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor continues to rumble on.
A showdown between the king of boxing and the king of the UFC would be one for the ages — seeing new levels of interest, revenue and discussion.
It's been all sports fan have been talking about in recent months and outspoken American broadcaster Skip Bayless feels that's all the fight will be — talk.
Discussing the potential contest on his show Undisputed alongside former NFL star and co-host Shannon Sharpe, Bayless argued Mayweather is simply toying with McGregor.
He believes the former pound for pound champ has no serious plan to square off in the ring — after it was reported Mayweather asked boxing trainer Freddie Roach to help school the UFC star.
"He's doing it again. He's dropping hints. He's telling Freddie Roach, 'Get ready to train him,' because he knows Freddie will spread this news like it's fertiliser. And he knows, Floyd does, that he can now lead people to believe this fight is this close to happening," Bayless said.
Legendary boxing trainer Roach has coached the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto in recent times and confirmed that Mayweather had attended his gym to ask him to help the UFC champion.
"Floyd actually came to my gym and told me 'Freddie, I heard that Conor had talked to you,' and I said, 'No, he never has,'" Roach said on the MMA Hour.
While Bayless may have his doubts over the bout ever happening, his co-host Sharpe doesn't agree. He feels the ridiculous amount of money the fight will generate is enough to convince Mayweather and McGregor to sign on the dotted line, and that the potential bout will shatter all existing records in the fight game.
"There's a simple creed in professional sports or any business: If it makes dollars, it makes sense," Sharpe said.
"This makes plenty of dollars, and it makes a lot of sense. Because let's just say when Floyd Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao, it did 4.4 million buys. Over $400 million in pay-per-view dollars, and the gate was $72 million.
But Bayless feels no amount of money will be enough to tempt Mayweather into a fight with McGregor.
At almost 40 years of age, Mayweather will come up against a UFC champion in his prime, who despite having limited boxing experience has the knockout power to potentially hand Mayweather his first career defeat.
"He (Mayweather) cannot risk this. He cannot risk losing to some MMA fighter and going 49-1 and having his legacy tarnished and tainted, with the disgrace of losing to Conor McGregor," Bayless said. "Can you imagine what it would be to Floyd's career? He doesn't need this. Do you realise Floyd May-or-May-not-weather is about to turn 40 on Friday and Conor McGregor is still 28 years of age?
"Floyd May-or-May-not-weather is about to become a has-been. And what he is doing right now, he is using Conor McGregor to stay relevant. Because no one really cares about his Hermes bag or whatever it is ... That's about all he's got going right now.
In contrast, Sharpe believes the power struggle that exists between Mayweather and McGregor should firmly lay in the hands of the boxing star.
Mayweather is a noted pay-per-view draw and his career figures far outweigh what the UFC have been able to achieve. Floyd was a large part of the biggest fight in history and that confirms that he is the man fans hand over their hard-earned money to watch.
He feels his ploy to attach Roach to McGregor is Mayweather's way of making the matchup seem credible and a legitimate contest.
"What Freddie Roach said yesterday, it legitimatizes Conor McGregor, because there's only a few people he can go to and get legitimate boxing knowledge. Freddie Roach, John David Jackson, Naazim Richardson, etc," Sharpe said.
"So now, Floyd says, 'Hold on, Freddie. This gonna happen. I'm going to make me about 5, 600 million on this. Man you better train Conor McGregor and get yourself $5-10 million of this money because it's going to happen, and you need to be a part of this'.

News Journal: The wealthy are winning in America, but what about the rest of us?
Class warfare! During the 40-plus years I've been in politics, anyone who challenged a tax plan that favored the wealthy was accused of waging it by right-wing media and politicians.
Let upper-income households keep more of their money, they always argued. The economy would then take off and benefits would trickle down to everyone else.
More from this writer: Gridlocked Congress is nobody's fault but ours
If you disagreed with that, you were fomenting class warfare, pitting the middle class against the rich.
I always put the argument in the "it would be funny if it weren't so sad" category. But Warren Buffet, a multi-billionaire, probably said it best: "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning."
In fact, the very rich have been winning spectacularly over the past 40 years. Let's look at some numbers that explain exactly what has happened since 1981.
That's when the first Reagan tax cuts were enacted. Since then, according to the World Wealth and Income Database, the total income of the top one hundredth of one percent Americans grew over 300 percent. Total income among the rest of us remained about the same.
Studies by Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty found that the total income of that top one hundredth of one percent amounts to almost 200 times more than the total income of the bottom 90 percent of Americans.
Saez and Piketty used census data to determine that, since 1980, the median household income had increased 16 percent at the same time there was a GDP growth of 154 percent. Corporate profits grew 182 percent and the income of the top 1 percent, including their capital gains, grew by 190 percent.
In 2015, half of all the annual income in the United States went to the top 10 percent.
In his study of "Household Wealth Trends in the United States, 1962-2013," Ed Wolff found that "between 1983 and 2013, the top one percent received 41 percent of the total growth in net worth, 43 percent of the total growth in non-home wealth, and 49 percent of the total increase in income. The figures for the top 20 percent are 99 percent, 98 percent, and 103 percent, respectively — that is to say, the upper quintile got it all!"
So the rich got richer. But what about the middle class?
According to a research study entitled 'The American Middle Class Is Losing Ground" conducted by the Pew Foundation, "the hollowing of the American middle class has proceeded steadily for more than four decades. Since 1971, each decade has ended with a smaller share of adults living in middle-income households than at the beginning of the decade, and no single decade stands out as having triggered or hastened the decline in the middle."
Based on the definition used in this Pew report, the share of American adults living in middle-income households has fallen from 61 percent in 1971 to 50 percent in 2015.
Pew concludes "the gaps in income and wealth between middle- and upper-income households widened substantially in the past three to four decades. As noted, one result is that the share of U.S. aggregate household income held by upper-income households climbed sharply, from 29 percent in 1970 to 49 percent in 2014. More recently, upper-income families, which had three times as much wealth as middle-income families in 1983, more than doubled the wealth gap; by 2013, they had seven times as much wealth as middle-income families."
Take my word that I haven't cherry picked these numbers. I could have cited dozens of other studies that have come to the same basic conclusions. Few if any economists argue with the fact that we have lived through an historic shift of wealth in the past few decades.
If you believe, as I do, that a thriving middle class is essential to the success of our democracy, the vast increase in income inequality is a dangerous trend.
Which brings me to the newest Republican tax plan. If enacted, it will exacerbate this trend and accelerate the continuing shrinkage of the middle class.
I'll explain how and why in my next column.

I have questions as to when one uses user_prefs in the .spamassassin folder or one uses the local.cf file in etc/mail/spamassassin.
In general, under our 2.0 situation, why do we need both local.cf and user_prefs?
I want to whitelist and black list urls. Which file should I use?
I want to accept english emails only. Where should this be placed?
I have some local rules. These I have placed in local.cf (per Fayez who is very knowledgeable) but it seems that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Is there anything special about local rules?
Thanks for the compliment ;) I believe local.cf is for global configuration - what you place in that file should theoretically affect all incoming mail across all POP3s for your account. Also, it is the "privilaged" file in that you can more or less use any configuration option in there and it will (or should) work, and finally, some options that you place in there are meant to be there to override users' custom settings. For example if you don't want to allow them the ability to create their own tests.
In response to your white- and blacklisting question, it depends if other people are using POP3s on your account. If they would like those particular addresses/hosts blocked too, then you should definitely put those rules in local.cf - this would also save you from having to put it in each .spamassassin/user_prefs file for each POP3/mail account. The same applies to you wanting to accept English e-mails only. However, I would not suggest using it as I have found it to be extremely unreliable - marking 99% of mail as of a foreign language when in fact it isn't. You may find different results though, so no harm in trying.
Just keep in mind that whatever you put in local.cf will force your "secondary" users to "un-do" each configuration option in it that they don't want applied to them (e.g. if they don't want a particular URL blacklisted for them which you added in local.cf).
You said it only works occassionally - have you been able to work out why? What test(s) in particular are you talking about? It might be because of 2.0. I'd be willing to test it on my (still) 1.0 account to see if it is indeed 2.0 related.
Oh and it is a little confusing, but "local rules" would be those in .spamassassin/user_prefs while the "global rules" would be those in local.cf (or at least that is how one should think of it)!
I need to digest and then go to work with what you have said.
Thanks for the advice and help. I may take you up on the rule testing. First I want to get everything in the "right" place.
Good post design64 makes me want to dig in and play with my spamassasin. I had always shied away from it because I was not sure of it.
If I FTP into my site where would I find the local.cf file.... I know you do not have 2.0 yet but maybe someone else knows.... I am still haveing a bit of trouble understanding all those new files and directories... I get the feeling I am going to have to do some reading.
Opps just noticed the paths at the top of the post... :oops: I really must start retaining what I read.
You're welcome Charlie. Let me know when you want to do the testing. It should be in the next few days though, since it looks like 2.0 problems are being resolved and everyone will be migrated to it soon ;) Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for the compliment, Shawn. Glad you found it helpful. If you are fed up with spam then SpamAssassin is really the only (and best) way to go. Along with Procmail, you can really scrub your mailbox squeaky clean (I'm down to 5 spam mails a week from more than 30 daily)! Procmail is amazing if you get those Worm.Klez/Sobig e-mails as well... You can set it up to delete them without you having to lift a finger.
Can you (or anyone) point me to an easy-to-understand primer on Procmail. At this spot I know nothing.
Also I think I solved why I had a rule that seemed to intermittantly work.
Why this makes a difference is beyond me - I'm not a Perl programmer but I thought Perl was free form.
About the rule, that is correct... abc | def would match abc and then a space, but probably not just abc. It is the same when you use Procmail - just keep that in mind ;) If you would like me to suggest some helpful sites on regexp's let me know.
I took at quick look at some of the info you referred to. It looks daunting but I'll give it a try.
I would like some help on a header rule.
I would like to filter out on John Smith because the xyz@abc.com is false.
Also I would like some links on regex examples as you mentioned in your previous post.
Charlie, it is really not that bad at all. Especially now that you have played with some Perl regexp's as well. All you have to do is understand the concept behind it and the format/layout of conditions. Don't go by the answers on the first URL Chris recommended. That one really is terrible. If you have a specific thing you want to try with Procmail, let me know and I will post the code for you - it'll probably be not more than 4 or 5 lines.

The list of idiomatic uses of cases without prepositions given in this chapter might have been extended much further. (In Hermann Menge's Lehrbuch der lateinischen Syntax und Semantik, the standard authority for German students of Latin, the ablative alone is analysed under thirty-six different headings. This number would have been greater, were Menge's examples not drawn very largely from just two prose writers, Cicero and Caesar.) Only the most important usages are discussed here. Many of the others can easily be understood from their context.
It may at first seem confusing that case-endings should be used to convey so many different senses, but a little experience quickly leads us to expect particular senses for particular cases when we encounter them in particular settings; e.g. verbs meaning "value" or "buy" are regularly accompanied by a noun in the genitive or ablative respectively. A Roman would presumably have had much the same initial difficulty with the many and various uses to which prepositions are put in Romance languages, which have largely dispensed with inflection.
Un millar de (partitive) hombres podrían robar un millar de (partitive) cerdos de (place from which) las pocilgas de (possessive) Blandings Castle a las dos de (temporal) la tarde.
The partitive genitive is also known, rather more accurately, as the genitive of the whole.
timorem mortis Caesar nihili fecit; rigorem mortis in senatu passus est.
"Caesar placed no importance (nihili, genitive of value) on fear of death (mortis, objective genitive [Caesar did not fear death]; he suffered rigor mortis (subjective genitive [death stiffened Caesar's body]) in the Senate".
plenus, -a, -um can be constructed with an objective genitive (plena aquae est urna) or with an ablative of means (plena aqua est urna). (Quintilian suggests that this use of the ablative is a relatively recent development [Education of the Orator 9.3.1].) The genitive and ablative of description are also largely interchangeable, the main difference being that the genitive was not used in the classical period with reference to physical characteristics. Such doublet-idioms are fairly rare in Latin, in which the choice of case is usually very rigid and distinct. (Sanskrit, on the other hand, is remarkable in the freedom which it allows in interchange between cases.) Latin restricts the various cases to rather more sharply defined uses than does either Greek or Sanskrit.
Other words used in this idiom signifying worthlessness are naucus, -i masc. (or naucum, -i neut.) 2, "a thing of little value" and pilus, -i masc. 2, "a hair"; hence floccinaucinihilipilification, which was the longest word in the first edition of the OED, and which, rather curiously, does not use the letter e, though that is the commonest letter both in English and in Latin. nihil is a compound of the negative prefix ne- and hilum, -i neut. 2 "a small quantity". The origin of hilum is unknown. Varro speculates that it may refer to the pithy core of the stem of the asphodel plant (Fragments of Roman Grammar 362, 429). Elsewhere, however, he equates hilum with filum "thread" (On the Latin Language 5.113). Isidore (Origines 19.29.5) repeats this association, adding that fila may be so called because they are made ex pilis animalium "from the hair [pilus, -i masc. 2] of animals". It may therefore be that nihili facere is a technologically more sophisticated alternative to both flocci facere and pili facere.
The dative of reference is also known as the dative of advantage or disadvantage.
The predicate dative is so-called because it is used as a predicate, defining the subject in much the same way as do the adjective pinguis and the noun animal in the sentences porcus est pinguis "The pig is fat" and porcus est animal "A pig is an animal". It is sometimes known as the dative of purpose. (Some grammars, perhaps over-subtly, distinguish two separate idioms.) Since the predicate dative is almost always accompanied by a dative of reference, the idiom is also known as the double dative construction. Although more than two hundred nouns are used occasionally as predicate datives, only those used most frequently are listed in this chapter.
The legal principle cui bono? is applied as a way of establishing who had most to gain from a crime. The phrase is frequently supposed to mean "for what good?", cui being construed as an interrogative adjective (see Chapter 18) qualifying bono. In fact, the predicate dative is rarely qualified by adjectives other than magnus and parvus, and cui is an interrogative pronoun (see Chapter 18) in the dative (of respect): "To whom (is it for) an advantage?" This famous principle was attributed by Cicero to Lucius Cassius Longinus Ravilla ("Dark Eyes"), a leading jurist of the 2nd century BC.
When a Roman knight was accused of swearing a false oath by the divinity of Augustus, Tiberius ruled that his father had not been deified in order for that honor to be used to destroy citizens. In any case, the gods could look after themselves: deorum iniuriae deis curae (Tacitus, Annals 1.73, literally "Wrongs done to gods [objective genitive] are [for] a concern [predicate dative] to the gods [dative of reference]").
Distinguish the accusative of exclamation o porcum pigrum! "What a lazy pig!" from the vocative address o porce piger! "You lazy pig!" The nominative is sometimes used instead of the accusative in exclamations: o porcus piger!
The accusative of respect is also known as the Greek accusative, because it was first used frequently by the poets of the Augustan period in imitation of Greek.


It's been hammered into our heads to brush twice a day, floss once (though that's up for debate) and maybe rinse with a fluoride mouthwash. But recently, another chore has been suggested as an addition to our dental routine: tongue scraping. But is this ayurvedic practice that dates back to ancient India really worth your while?
We went to two experts to find out if you should start your day scraping your tongue.
Dental hygienist Sam Williamson, owner of Teeth Whitening Belfast in Ireland, recommends the practice to all of his patients.
The bacteria on your tongue is one of the main causes of bad breath, so scraping it regularly can significantly improve your breath over time. In fact, a recent study showed about 85 percent of all bad breath cases begin in the mouth and half are caused by bacteria residue on the tongue. Brushing your tongue is "the best way to ensure that your breath stays fresh throughout the day," Williamson says.
Kimberly Harms, DDS, a dentist in Farmington, Minnesota, and a spokesperson for the American Dental Association, says "your taste buds in the back are made for bacteria to hide." And when your mouth has a lot of bacteria in it, you can taste it. "That sour taste is often due to bacteria," she says.
1. Buy a dedicated tongue scraper (they cost as little as $6) that comes in plastic or metal and is usually shaped like the letter U.
2. Always be gentle — scraping your tongue should never hurt.
3. Scrape only five to 10 times, Harms suggests.
4. Don't go too deep. "Since we have a gag reflex, be sure not to put the scraper too far back in your mouth," she adds.


The Spohrs Are Multiplying Itsa Mario At Disneyland Yahoo!
We've been going to the Disneyland Halloween Party for years – we even went with Maddie back in 2008. We weren't able to swing it in 2016, so we were especially excited to go this year. As for our group costume, when James asked Mike if he'd go as the Luigi to his Mario, we realized it wouldn't be hard for Annie and me to join in.
Presenting Bob-omb, Princess Peach, Mario, and Luigi! While Annie and the guys looked adorable, I was definitely the big winner when it came to comfort level: I was wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt I sewed eyes onto! Best costume ever.
As always, Disneyland looked fantastic all decked out for Halloween. This year, California Adventure finally got a Halloween makeover and no surprise, it also looked amazing.
A few of the rides received Halloween makeovers, including the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride. If you recall, Mike did not enjoy that ride the first time he went on it. But we obviously had to go on the new version…and, well, I don't think he'll ever go on it again!
That picture makes me laugh until I cry.
Anyway, besides the Halloween rides, we had a blast trick-or-treating through the park. But as always, my kids absolutely loved the dance party. They are dance OBSESSED.
I hugged Dug the Dog for what was probably an uncomfortable amount of time for the person inside the suit. I have no regrets.
Whenever Mike and James did something together, I laughed. It was hard not to giggle at Mario and Luigi, they were just so cute.
I just adore Halloween and I'm so glad my kids are as into it as I am. I'm especially glad that they are finally at a point where they appreciate fireworks!! We were able to watch the entire Halloween fireworks show without any screaming or crying about how loud it was.
That picture of you and Mike needs to be framed. He handled the ride much better than I would have!!
OMG those are some GREAT costumes, and yep, yours for SURE wins for the comfort and creativity!! Also, not ashamed to say that I met Dug a few years back in CA, after making my family wait A LONG TIME for him to come out! And yeah, I might have also hugged him for an uncomfortably long time! Loooooooove Dug!
Twice now my family has been fortunate to attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party in Florida and it is one of our FAVORITE things! Do they do the parade in CA also? We love it – love the music, love the theatrics, it's just so fantastic!
Love seeing you guys all dressed up – one of my favorite parts is seeing families all coordinated together like you guys. Thanks, as always, for sharing! I have got to get out to CA and visit Disneyland!

Today there are 12 athletes making their way to Nome. Eric Johnson is not tracking. He possibly forgot to change his batteries in McGrath or did not turn the tracker back on.
Grant Maughn has new shoes and is on his way as well.
Current temperature in Anvik is 27 F. The leading bikers have reached the small village of Anvik on the Yukon River. In the lead are John Logar and Petr Ineman, both veterans of the 1000-mile race. This morning they are moving at 6-7 mph. With cooler temps at night, trails must have firmed up for them.
Aliy Zirkle is the leading musher into Iditarod in the sled dog race. She has not taken her mandatory 24-hour stop yet. Iditarod is the halfway point for mushers as well as human-powered athletes.
Beyond McGrath, there is a drop bag provided by the ITI organization that is flown out by a bush plane ahead of time. Then there are 3 small villages where racers resupply from village stores or retrieve packages they have mailed ahead to themselves as "general delivery." There is a BNB in Shageluk and Grayling; otherwise, racers sleep in the schools along the way when there are no other lodging options.
The most desolate and longest uninhabited stretch of Yukon River awaits them after the stop in Grayling: over 100 miles on the big, wide and lonely Yukon River until they reach the community of Kaltag.

New peptides under the s(ORF)ace of the genome
Pueyo-Marques, Jose L, Magny, Emile G and Couso, Juan P (2015) New peptides under the s(ORF)ace of the genome. Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 41 (8). pp. 665-678. ISSN 0968-0004

Hundreds of previously unidentified functional small peptides could exist in most genomes, but these sequences have been generally overlooked. The discovery of genes encoding small peptides with important functions in different organisms, has ignited the interest in these sequences, and led to an increasing amount of effort towards their identification. Here, we review the advances, both, computational, and biochemical, that are leading the way in the discovery of putatively functional smORFs, as well as the functional studies that have been carried out as a consequence of these searches. The evidence suggests that smORFs form a substantial part of our genomes, and that their encoded peptides could have important functions in a variety of cellular functions

Processes complement one another: Manufacturing, engineering, quality control and compliance management must all work together and optimize as a whole to control costs and shorten development cycles so as to retain a 'First Mover' advantage.
Compliance becomes part of the culture: Medical device developers must embed compliance into the day-to-day work life of all global teams; otherwise employees will never be able to keep up with, much less meet, the ever changing array of local regulatory requirements.
Ongoing, global monitoring of risks: Organizations need to take a holistic monitoring approach to account for the diversity of risks a medical device OEM faces, including product lifecycle, part(s) EOL, compliance, multi-sourcing and inventory risks.
Ensure everyone participates: If the quality process is relegated to a one-off team using an isolated system, it is almost a guarantee the product will face quality issues. Quality processes must be integrated into the day-to-day product record so that everyone, including members of the extended supply chain, can contribute proactively to producing the highest quality product.
A 25% increase in operating margin and a 29% reduction in failure costs.
Because of existing investments in engineering, many companies are implementing quality management systems (QMS) and associated functionalities, such as CAPA, as an extension of product lifecycle management (PLM). For engineering-intensive organizations, this helps to incorporate quality processes not only into the design phase, but also into manufacturing, sourcing and business operations.
Extending CAPA and other QMS functionalities with PLM strengthens the feedback loop, because it enables stakeholders to take advantage of critical information earlier in the value chain as well as providing downstream opportunities for more rapid feedback when integrations are tied into non-conformities on the factory floor. This rapid iterative process in new product introduction (NPI) results in better-formalized first versions.
With a modern PLM solution, medical device manufacturers can develop a unified information management system for engineering and quality, which creates a single point of entry for all product and quality information irrespective of function. Streamlining independent data sources into a centralized system delivers more accurate product information, improves knowledge sharing, supports better design processes, and provides improved visibility into quality information for all stakeholders. It also eliminates the duplication of data in various disconnected systems.
Arena invests heavily in R&D. In doing so our quarterly new releases have enabled us to scale from a PLM company to an all-in-one product development solution with embedded QMS and ALM functionality. The benefits are tremendous.
