A "red-green" coalition government of the Labor Party and Greens has been enthusiastically promoted in the course of the federal election campaign by Adam Bandt, the sole Greens representative in the House of Representatives.
Bandt has rushed to reassure layers within the ruling elite that are deeply concerned about the prospect of a hung parliament after the July 2 election, by pledging the Greens' commitment to a "stable" and "responsible" parliament.
On May 9, the day after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced the election, Bandt made multiple media appearances to promote a Labor-Greens coalition. On the Australian ABC television "Q&A" program, Bandt declared that Turnbull's Liberal Party had "reprehensible" policies. At the same time, he endorsed the former minority Labor government of Julia Gillard, which governed between 2010 and 2013 with the Greens' crucial support.
The terms "stable" and "effective" parliament are nothing but code words for the formation of government able and willing to implement the agenda of the ruling class of militarism and austerity.
To emphasise this point, Bandt lauded Gillard's term in office as "one of the most productive periods in Australian history." His promotion of the Gillard government's record underscores the fraud of the Greens' claims to be a "progressive" party. Between 2010 and 2013, with the Greens' backing, the Labor Party implemented sweeping right-wing measures against the working class and most vulnerable members of society.
Against refugees, to take just one example, Gillard went far beyond the former Howard Liberal-National government's "offshore processing" regime, working to dump asylum seekers in East Timor and Malaysia, and then detaining refugees indefinitely on Nauru and Manus Island, all in blatant violation of international law.
The Greens likewise backed the single most important measure of the Gillard government—its endorsement of US imperialism's "pivot" to the Asia-Pacific. When Barack Obama visited Canberra in 2011 and announced his provocative plan to maintain Washington's regional hegemony by militarily encircling and diplomatically isolating China, Bandt applauded and rushed to be the first parliamentarian to shake the president's hand after the speech.
Five years later, the US is preparing for outright war against China. The Labor opposition has positioned itself as the most pro-US and militarist party, condemning the Turnbull government for failing to deploy Australian military assets into Chinese-claimed territories in the South China Sea. The Greens' promotion of a possible coalition government with Labor in these circumstances underlines the party's complicity in the preparations for war.
Bandt has repeatedly invoked the German "red-green" ruling coalition between 1998 and 2005 as a model to emulate. He promotes the supposed environmental achievements of the SPD-Green government—while saying nothing about that government's right-wing economic and foreign policy agendas.
The seven-year "red-green" government in Germany presided over a sharp rise in poverty and low-wage and precarious employment through the "Hartz IV" laws, which were justified on the basis of maintaining the economy's "international competitiveness." The measures included eliminating welfare payments for those unemployed longer than 12 months, and compelling job seekers to accept any position offered on any terms. This created the largest low-wage sector in Western Europe.
The SPD-Green government's most notorious initiative was its participation in NATO's bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999. Germany's first overseas combat operation since the defeat of Nazism was ideologically promoted as a "humanitarian operation" by the Greens' leader and foreign minister Joska Fischer.
Fischer's personal evolution, from "street fighting radical" to spokesman for imperialist war, finds echoes in Bandt's career.
The Greens' MP entered politics via the middle class pseudo-left. In the mid-1990s he was a student at Murdoch University in Western Australia and a member of the Left Alliance faction within the National Union of Students. At the time, Bandt described the group as involving "different tendencies in the organisation, as the name suggests, ranging from communists to radical feminists to anarchists to social democrats." Bandt himself posted messages to an email list with the signature "towards an anti-capitalist, anti-social democratic, internationalist movement." His personal web page featured a large hammer and sickle image, and links to the writings of Marx and Engels. A 1995 web post described the Greens as a "bourgeois" party.
Fifteen years later, after working as an industrial lawyer in the interim, Bandt stood for the Greens and won the lower house seat of Melbourne.
Within the Greens, Bandt serves as one of several fake left figures, together with the ex-Stalinist New South Wales Senator Lee Rhiannon and the Greens' candidate for Grayndler in this election, the ex-state capitalist Jim Casey. The Greens' leadership of Richard Di Natale has held open the possibility of forming a coalition with either Labor or the Liberal-National Coalition, but Bandt is clearly oriented to Labor.
Bandt's reference to Labor's connections to the trade unions points to one issue concerning the Melbourne MP as the Greens weigh up the merits of a possible coalition with Labor against one with the Coalition. His election campaigns since 2010 have been bankrolled by sections of the trade union bureaucracy, most notably the Electrical Trades Union, which has given Bandt $300,000 for the 2016 campaign alone. He has also enjoyed the backing of the unions covering construction, firefighters and tertiary education.
The union bureaucrats understand that Labor governments utilise their services more directly as an industrial police agency in driving down wages and tearing up working conditions. The union bureaucracy's concern to defend its own influence and material privileges via the Labor Party is a factor behind Bandt's reluctance to go along with a Greens' coalition with the Liberals.
Regardless of these sordid tactical calculations, Bandt and all his parliamentary colleagues are preparing to support, either directly or indirectly, whatever government is formed after the July 2 poll. This will prove to be a government committed to implementing anti-working class measures at home, while preparing for imperialist war abroad. The only genuine alternative to this agenda is the socialist and internationalist program advanced by the Socialist Equality Party.

Home Reviews Gvt Announces New Pay Structure For Civil Servants
Gvt Announces New Pay Structure For Civil Servants
Gh Blinks
By A Correspondent- Civil servants will be paid according to their academic qualifications, experience and seniority starting this month, as Government has reactivated a policy that promotes advancement of public workers.
The abandonment of advancement procedures for civil servants in 2012 resulted in the "bunching" of salaries of the employees across all grades.
Dr Tsitsi Rosemary Choruma, Secretary Service Commissions.
This development irked most civil servants' unions, mainly in the education sector. They argued that the salary difference between grades was insignificant and resulted in many members being reluctant to upgrade their education.
In a statement on Friday, Public Service Commission (PSC) Secretary Dr Tsitsi Choruma said the advancement policy will start to be operational this month.
"Following engagements in the context of the National Joint Negotiating Council, Government resolved to reactivate the advancement of all civil servants in terms of the applicable advancement procedures. Accordingly, the Public Service Commission embarked on and finalised the placement of all civil servants in their respective grades by the end of December 2022. All civil servants will, therefore, be paid the salaries that reflect their advancement and placement within their grades with effect from January 2023."
The first batch of learners returned to school yesterday. In the picture pupils from Thekwane High board a bus to school.
To ensure no beneficiaries are left behind, Dr Choruma said, the PSC has since directed heads of line ministries to gather all relevant documents or higher qualifications from workers under their purview until the end of the first quarter of this year.
In pursuit of the foregoing, all the Heads of Line Ministries are implored to submit all relevant higher qualifications obtained by civil servants under their ministries and departments to the Public Service Commission to facilitate the completion of the advancement exercise by 31st March 2023."
She said the reactivation is in line with the Principal Procedures in the Public Service 2018.
"According to the Principal Procedures, advancement is the vertical movement of employees within their grades after a given number of years of service, the demonstration of satisfactory performance and/or acquisition of specified or relevant qualifications."
Civil servants' union leaders lauded the latest development, saying it was long overdue.
Zimbabwe Teachers Association (Zimta) president Mr Richard Gundani said the exercise is an issue of fundamental rights enshrined in the conditions of service.
"This gives meaning to promotion and seniority. Performance needs to be rewarded always. This used to be done when class teachers used to be promoted using that criterion. We welcome the development and urge the Government to do it in earnest and in consultation with the concerned unions," he said.
Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Dr Takavafira Zhou said the review of grades would see civil servants getting what they deserved.
"If one is a headmaster, deputy or senior teacher, one should have something to show for that. What we only urge the Government is to walk the talk. The intention is good but what we usually differ on is the implementation plan. It must be clear among the stakeholders," said Dr Zhou.
Meanwhile, the Treasury has set and released pay dates for all civil servants for this year.
The pay dates cover all categories of Government workers: the civil service; uniformed forces; health workers; independent commissions; and staff of grant-aided State institutions. The dates also cover the payment of pensions to retirees.

Ajami is a powerful crime drama set on the streets of Jaffa's Ajami neighborhood - a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views among Jews, Muslims and Christians - and told through the eyes of a cross-section of the city's inhabitants: a young Israeli (Shahir Kabaha) fighting a criminal vendetta against his family, a Palestinian refugee (Ibrahim Frege) working illegally to finance a life-saving surgery, a Jewish police detective (Eran Naim) obsessed with finding his missing brother, and an affluent Palestinian (Scandar Copti) dreaming of a future with his Jewish girlfriend. As their stories intersect - and the film's narrative shifts back and forth in time - we witness a dramatic collision of different worlds and the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbors.

Q: Data not restored when return viewmodel to view on validation error asp.net mvc 5 I'm trying to figure out why my view is not restoring the data to its original state after my form has been submitted and I'm returning the relevant ViewModel and I'm setting the ModelState.AddModelError("", "error");
When my Edit page is requested, I call a method which builds my view model and passes it to my view and everything gets displayed as expected:
public ActionResult Edit(string id, string returnUrl)
{
    if (ReferenceEquals(id, null))
        return HttpNotFound();

    var vm = GetOrganzationEditViewModel(id, returnUrl);

    return View(vm);
}

When I make some changes to the fields available in my view and I submit it, I perform some server side validation and if it fails one of the specific condition, I requests the ViewModel as above by calling the same method i.e. GetOrganzationEditViewModel using the same parameter as when the page was requested as these are included in the ViewModel and I'm also returning the relevant error using the ModelState.AddModelError.
if ((organizationModelFromDb.MembershipType == MembershipType.Full)
{
    ModelState.AddModelError("", $"Test Error:");

    return View("Edit",GetOrganzationEditViewModel(organizationEditViewModel.
    Organization.OrganizationId, organizationEditViewModel.ReturnUrl));
}

It does display the error as expected in my ValidationSummary but I was under the impression that by returning the ViewModel, it would re-fill my values with the ViewModel's values returned, but it actually leaves the values as they were when I edited them.
My Razor page has fields that are binded to my ViewModel and it looks pretty standard:

    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Organization.Website, htmlAttributes: new { @class =
    "control-label col-md-3"})

        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Organization.Website, new
        {htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", id = "txtWebsite" } })
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Organization.Website, "", new { @class =
        "text-danger" })

Am I missing something or am I suppose to handle this differently?
Thanks

A: I read your above problem and as per my understanding, you may got that restore issue ,because of the following reason.
The viewmodel variable , coming through the edit post method as a parameter may intialized again or the name of the variable would have changed before send it to the view.
since i couldnt see the edit post method fully ,am not able to think any other reason.
And more thing you can do is debug ,by putting break point in the controller action method, to find out where exactly the data is getting lost.
Hope above information may helpful to get right direction,kindly let me know your thoughts or feedbacks
Thanks

Spring of discontent
Is it 2010 or 1979 in Britain? One might be briefly excused. You see there is a Labour government in power, far from popular. Two large trade unions are holding strikes literally weeks before the general election.
UNITE representing British Airways cabin crew is now into itsr second strike and now the RMTU, led by the avowed Marxist (yet paid a healthy six figure salary) Bob Crow, is calling the first national rail strike since 1994.
Why? Well British Airways is in dire financial straits. Many of its Heathrow based cabin crew are on pay and terms and conditions that hark back to before the airline was privatised, with the average pay double that of Virgin Atlantic and reportedly higher than any other airline globally. The management is seeking to put Heathrow crew on the same pay and conditions as Gatwick crew, given the airline has had record losses. In short, this is about the survival of the airline, in a world where most recently Japan Air Lines, Olympic Airways and Alitalia have all effectively folded and either been recapitalised or bought out from the creditors.
On the railways, the issue is with Network Rail, the government guaranteed nominally private company that owns and runs the rail network. It is seeking to change maintenance practices so that trains can run more frequently at weekends and late evenings, and has endorsement from the Office of Rail Regulation for the changes. The union is claiming the strike is about safety, but has little support from that from elsewhere.
So many BA flights are not taking off (Gatwick flights will given the crew there have no reason to strike, and some cabin crew at Heathrow are refusing to go on strike), and the four days after Easter will see most trains not running. A spring of discontent is in the wind. Gordon Brown is less than impressed.
Of course the problem Labour has is that UNITE is the largest financial contributor to the Labour Party, and the RMTU is also affiliated. Some Labour MPs support the strike, although they are keeping very quiet about it. However Gordon Brown and the rest of Cabinet cannot hand on heart state opposition to those who fund them. In other words, a very clear political link can be made between Labour and the unions who have decided to go on strike close to the election.
Isn't this suicide, you say? Surely unions WANT Labour in government? Well, this is about two things. Firstly, the belief that this pressures Labour Ministers to intervene on the side of the union, to get what they might otherwise not get if the government changes. What the unions don't realise is that this is likely to play into the hands of the Conservatives, by showing Labour as anti-business and back in the bad old days of government intervening in industrial disputes. Secondly, as far as the RMTU is concerned, Bob Crow says that it doesn't really matter if Labour loses, because both main parties are so similar.
What some in the union movement want is for Labour to lose, so that Gordon Brown can be replaced, and the vestiges of New Labour are purged to move it further to the left. In other words, they still believe in socialism. What they failed to note was how roundly such a Labour Party was defeated in 1983 when it had the socialist wet dream manifesto.
It is too early to tell whether it means the deathknell of the government. If only because the Conservative Party seems like it engages in the art of spin, of saying very little and criticism rather than ideas. When asked about spending cuts, the Conservatives talk about small ticket items and protecting the NHS. The simple truth is that whatever major party governs Britain, it is made up of politicians who primarily want to spend other people's money and direct their lives. Until that trap is broken, the cycle of discontent will continue.

England's top 3 in T20's; who should it be?
17th December 2021 Rob Rush
England's white ball squads over the last 4 years have all got a common theme: hard hitting opening batsmen to set the platform for the finishers to come in and finish the job later on. It is no secret that England are blessed with top order batsmen in the shorter platform of the game; Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Dawid Malan and Alex Hales can all make claims to bat in the top 3. But it is called the top 3 for a reason: only 3 batsmen can lay claim to these positions. So, who bats there?
For me, the tried and tested method in T20's is the way to go: Jos Buttler and Jason Roy opening, with Jonny Bairstow coming in at first fall of wicket. There has been much debate over where Buttler should bat in the T20 side, with some people arguing it is too much of a risk to play our best ever white ball batsman so high up, when instead he could be protected in the middle order as a "floater", ready to finish off the innings as he so often does in ODI's. However, when Buttler opens, he always seems to perform, and when Jos Buttler is on form, no-one wants to or can bowl to him.
With the power play allowing only two fielders outside the ring in the first 6 overs, Buttler's 360° ability is unmatched by anyone in international cricket, so allowing him to face as many deliveries as possible is a sensible move to give England the perfect start to either setting a target or chasing down a score that seems impossible to get to. Moreover, he averages 42.6 when opening in T20's at a strike rate of 148.65, well over a run a ball, compared to when he doesn't open where his average plummets to 27.3 and strike rate dips to 140. Still very good stats, but such a drop off compared to when he opens up. No questions asked, he's our best T20 opener.
For the other opening spot, it really could be either one of Roy or Bairstow. Those two of course helped power England to World Cup glory in 2019, and given the fact that whoever bats 3 could be in after the first ball, it makes very little difference. With Bairstow filling in at number 4 more recently in the T20 WC in the UAE, his flexibility to move around the order is a gift and a curse for England.
While his versatility is a positive as it means he can cover for injuries/be used in specific matchups, it has led to several questions and speculation around where his best position is. He averages 36.7 when opening compared to 30 when at number 4, has a strike rate of 144.21 while opening compared to 130.2 at number 4. Some people might argue that Roy shouldn't be in the picture, as he only averages 25.3, but almost echos Buttler's strike rate at 144. It's safe to say England are spoilt for choice, but I'm going with Roy because not only does he have the experience with 53 caps, he also has the chemistry of batting with Buttler for the majority of those innings, something that in my eyes is overlooked when considering an opening partnership. Plus, Bairstow has shown he can bat lower down the order, so this is the easiest way to fit both of them in the team.
Some of you may be asking, "Where does Malan fit? Does Hales have a chance of coming back?" Here are my answers to these questions; while Hales has reinforced he is one of the best white ball batsmen available in world cricket, realistically speaking his England career is over whilst Morgan is still captain, so that's a no go.
Malan could slot in at either 3 or 4 in the T20 side, as the selectors continue to not select Joe Root, but he has come under increased criticism and scrutiny, noticeably for his slow starts. A top 5 of Buttler, Roy, Bairstow, Malan and Livingstone is still amongst the best, if not the best top 5 in T20's. With young batters such as Tom Banton and Phil Salt also waiting in the wings for a chance to show their worth on the international stage, England are not short of top order batsmen for limited overs cricket.

Rocket Mortgage Launches National Campaign to Address Urgent National Crisis of Veteran Homelessness
"Neighbors" spot, which debuted today on Thanksgiving, features four veterans who secured housing through communities in Built for Zero
In addition to nationwide efforts, Rocket Mortgage and Community Solutions seek to reduce the number of veterans experiencing homelessness in Detroit by 50%
DETROIT, November 28, 2019 – Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans today launched a campaign titled "Neighbors," which highlights the stories of four U.S. military veterans who successfully transitioned from experiencing homelessness into housing through Built for Zero, an initiative that assists communities by coordinating resources, methodology and technology to reduce the number of those experiencing homelessness.
The program is a nationwide effort created by Community Solutions and supported by Quicken Loans
The campaign aims to generate awareness around veterans experiencing homelessness, the conditions that cause it and how Built for Zero brings modern solutions to a complex problem. The national television spots for the Neighbors campaign debuted during America's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Detroit and the Thanksgiving parade in New York City. The spot will also air during the football games in Detroit and Dallas.
"At any given time, nearly 40,000 veterans across our country are experiencing homelessness," said Jay Farner, CEO of Quicken Loans. "We hope this campaign builds awareness around an urgent national crisis and shows America that it is possible to solve it. Communities are creating lasting change through Built for Zero, and we are proud to support this progress – especially in our hometown of Detroit."
The 30-second and 60-second Neighbors spots were produced by the Quicken Loans creative team, and encourage viewers to visit AHomeForEveryVet.org. The site provides additional information on Built for Zero and features long-form videos of the veterans featured in the ads – sharing more in-depth versions of their touching stories. The title song of the Neighbors spots, "People in Your Neighborhood," was sung by high school senior and Detroit Youth Choir member Victoria Cooksey.
Built for Zero aids communities in deploying proven methodologies to reduce homelessness in their community, beginning with veteran and chronic homelessness. The national initiative allows communities to drive improvements to their local homeless response system, which helps people experiencing homelessness receive access to housing and assistance. Through Built for Zero, communities seek to create a system where people experiencing homelessness is never more than the number of people they can routinely house in a month, a milestone knows as "functional zero."
"Communities are proving it is possible to end veteran homelessness, when partners come together around a shared vision of getting to zero," said Rosanne Haggerty, President of Community Solutions. "We are proud to partner with Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans, which has dedicated $15 million for this effort. Their passion around raising awareness, along with rolling up their sleeves to help in the work is greatly appreciated."
Currently, more than 80 communities across the country are enrolled in Built for Zero, over half of which have reduced the number of people experiencing homelessness. Overall, 10 communities have achieved functional zero for veteran homelessness, and three have achieved functional zero for chronic homelessness, with more on the way. Communities in Built for Zero have placed nearly 125,000 individuals into housing.
Rocket Mortgage and Community Solutions have intensified efforts in Detroit, partnering with several Detroit-based nonprofits, agencies and organizations to achieve a 50% reduction in the number of veterans experiencing homelessness. The partnership is working through the Continuum of Care to secure up to 125 additional housing units for veterans.
As the nation's largest mortgage lender, Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans understands the power and importance of housing stability, and this campaign is a continuation of its ongoing commitment to veterans. The company has a veteran hiring team comprised exclusively of veterans, a "Tour of Duty" program to aid veterans in the transition from active service to civilian life, and is consistently recognized as a top employer for veterans by Military Friendly, the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency and Military Times.
The Rocket Mortgage Classic, Detroit's first-ever PGA TOUR event, raised more than $200,000 for Built for Zero through its Shot for Heroes activation. The activation has raised $1.2 million overall for veteran-focused nonprofits, including during the past five years as part of the Quicken Loans National. Additionally, Rocket Mortgage team members have provided 30,000 hours of volunteer work to veteran non-profit organizations since 2010.
About Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage

Introduction If an infertile couple is told that their only means of having a baby is through IVF. They are burdened with numerous queries and doubts about IVF treatment like what is my IVF treatment plan? How many injections for IVF treatment will I have to take? What is the IVF process timeline? Do you have the process of IVF step by step? Can you explain IVF process start to finish? What are the IVF treatment success rates? What is the time to get pregnant with IVF? What does the IVF treatment cost? How many days will IVF injections are administered? Hence our IVF specialist in Rajkot (Indira IVF center in Rajkot) has been kind enough to shed some light on the above such issues in brief in the given below article. If you feel that you wish to engage with our best IVF specialist in Rajkot directly then call us and you will be called back for a suitable appointment.
Understand your IVF treatment plan As we are one of the best IVF hospitals in Rajkot here, we illustrate one round of a basic IVF treatment plan beginning with the first day of your period. As a part of your IVF treatment plan, you can begin drugs or injections before the 1st day of the process.
Stage 1: Introducing your treatment plan The 1st regular day of your IVF treatment process is day 1 of your period. Everyone's body system is dissimilar, and our best IVF specialist in Rajkot will help you know how to recognize day one.
prescribes medications particular to your system and then plan for treatment. It's generally in the shape of injections that may differ from 1 to 2 for the process, or perhaps 1 to 2 each day. It may be challenging, yet our IVF specialist in Rajkot shall be there to teach you just how and then where you should give the shots. You may get your spouse involved too and then observe as well as understand together to have it right. It soon develops into a habit, and then you'll be a guru very quickly spelled out (Center Head - Indira IVF clinic in Rajkot).
The most popular hormones in the medicines employed to invigorate the follicles are: 1. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) 2. Luteinizing hormone (LH). Each of those hormones is made organically inside the body. The eggs happen to be there; the medicines enhance the natural levels to stimulate extra eggs to grow. We monitor your ovaries and also precisely how the follicles are growing with blood laboratory tests as well as ultrasounds. Your medicines are going to be modified if required. You will get a few transvaginal ultrasounds (a probe is placed internally). We are one of the best IVF centers in Rajkot; our team of IVF specialist in Rajkot will undoubtedly help you with these types of procedures thereby making you just as secure as we could. We'll track you more often when it comes to the end of the stimulus stage to time the trigger injection. The trigger shot will get the eggs prepared for ovulation the natural procedure wherein eggs are discharged, so you get your menstrual period. Your fertility nurse informs you precisely when to perform the trigger shot. Our infertility specialist in Rajkot will plan the egg retrieval prior you ovulate informed (Indira IVF hospital in Rajkot).
). Your current fertility expert needs to have a reasonable idea from your ultrasounds the number of eggs one can find before retrieval. The typical quantity of eggs gathered is 8-15. Recuperation will take around half an hour, and you'll have the ability to walk out by yourself. It's wise to get a support person by your side as you won't have the ability to travel after the treatment added further (Indira IVF and IUI Clinic in Rajkot).
Stage 4: The sperm When you're a couple thinking about utilizing new sperm, the man will generate a small sample the morning of the egg retrieval. If you use frozen or perhaps donor sperm, our experts will get it prepared in the lab. The sperm is rated utilizing four distinct degrees of quality. It's cleaned in a unique blend to stabilize it down. Thus our specialists may identify the best kinds under the microscope. Ideal, healthy sperm is not very fat or even slim, with a tail that's not lengthy or short. The perfect sperm is chosen, and then they're prepared and also patiently waiting in the lab to be presented to the eggs educated ( Indira Test tube baby clinic and Surrogacy Center in Rajkot).
Stage 5: Fertilization Your fertility expert provides our physicians with the eggs that they have retrieved, yet in the fluid from the follicles of the ovaries. The physicians utilize ultra-powerful microscopes to locate the eggs in the fluids to allow them to be extracted. It's essential the eggs be fertilized immediately. The eggs, as well as some sperm, are put in a dish. They have got the opportunity to locate one another and then fertilize as they will generally inside your body mentioned our IVF specialist in Rajkot (Center Head - Indira IVF center in Rajkot).
We understand implanting embryos at the blastocyst phase into the uterus enhances your odds of successful maternity. Regrettably, not every egg can fertilize and then attain embryo phase. The eggs may not develop fully, or the sperm is not sufficiently strong enough. We understand you'll be patiently waiting on news update. Thus we'll help you keep updated with the development of your egg, sperm, as well as embryo growth, highlighted (Center Head - Indira IVF clinic in Rajkot).
Stage 7: Embryo transfer When your embryo grows in the lab, you're prepared for it to be moved into your uterus. Your fertility nurses will undoubtedly describe the procedure. You'll have to keep yourself hydrated before the transfer so that you get a full bladder. We utilize ultrasound technologies to secure the embryo in the best place. Also, it helps to observe the inner lining of the uterus. The embryo transmits easy procedure, such as a pap smear. It will take around five minutes flat; you'll be conscious, there's no anesthetic, and you can also stand up right away. You could carry on with your day the embryo can't drop out when you get up or even head to the washroom. Our best IVF specialist in Rajkot grooms your embryo by putting it in a tiny tube known as a catheter. It's crucial this be successfully done by a specialist to disrupt the embryo in as little as possible cautioned ( Indira IVF hospital in Rajkot).
, it's an accepted process to transfer a single embryo at any given time. Extra embryos are frozen by utilizing state-of-the-art technology, to use in future treatment added further ( Indira IVF treatment center in Rajkot).
Stage 8: The concluding blood test A fortnight after your embryo shift, you'll receive a blood examination to determine your levels of the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). HCG in your bloodstream translates to a favorable maternity test. The valuable time between the embryo shift as well as the blood examination can often be referred to as the two-week wait (2WW). It may be difficult and not be afraid of the result. If you want some assistance to deal with or somebody to speak with, our counselors will be ready to assist you concluded (Indira IVF and IUI Clinic in Rajkot).

Why was Hunter Greene in Cincinnati? Will he join Reds' 60-man player pool?
Dave Clark
Hunter Greene, the Cincinnati Reds' first-round draft pick - No. 2 overall - in 2017, shared via Instagram and Twitter on Sunday night (since deleted) that he was in Cincinnati, with the caption "GO TIME" attached to his Instagram post.
It is not yet known whether the Reds are adding him to their 60-man player pool.
The Enquirer's Bobby Nightengale wrote in late June that some teams will add their top prospects to player pools to aid their development without a minor-league season, but the Reds left off top prospects like Greene from the initial list.
"He's a guy we're trying to figure out how to continue to maximize this year for him," Reds GM Nick Krall said of Greene. "We want to figure out how to progress him forward. He wasn't a consideration now, but again, we've got three spots open. You can always add people at a later date."
Nightengale wrote Saturday in a feature about Driveline's Kyle Boddy that Greene, who worked on a shorter arm path with coach James Baldwin after undergoing Tommy John surgery, reached 102 miles per hour in a bullpen session this summer.
And Nightengale wrote earlier this month that Reds pitcher Amir Garrett wants to serve as a role model for younger African-American players like Greene when they make it to the big leagues.
Greene is recovering from Tommy John surgery to repair a UCL sprain that ended his 2019 season.

Slip-ons are typically low, lace-less shoes. The style most commonly seen, known as a loafer or slippers in American culture, has a moccasin construction. One of the first designs was introduced in London by Wildsmith Shoes, called the Wildsmith Loafer. They began as casual shoes, but have increased in popularity to the point of being worn in America with city lounge suits. Another design was introduced as Aurlandskoen (the Aurland Shoe) in Norway (early 20th century). They are worn in many situations in a variety of colours and designs, often featuring tassels on the front, or metal decorations (the 'Gucci' loafer).
CartmyBrand offers a wide variety of high quality branded casual loafers for boys. Just browse through the collection of our products available online and select the one that you find the best. Choose from a variety of brands like Tod's, Armani etc. All our products are 100% NEW, GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC.

After driving over 1000 miles and spending just under 4 weeks in New Mexico, we've settled on our favorite road trips stops. Interestingly, most of our favorites were in southern New Mexico, and could easily be combined into a shorter trip. Perhaps, it was the cold weather and engine troubles we had while in the northern parts that kept them from being our favorites? Either way these places are sure to please and should be added to anybody's New Mexico road trip itinerary.
Madrid is located on the turquoise trail which is a scenic byway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. It is a funky town that has been overtaken by artists. There are a bunch of neat stops, a lot of eye catching outdoor displays and some tasty food. We recommend stopping at Connie's Photo Park for some great souvenir photo shots in a variety of scenes.
Truth or Consequences, or "T or C", as the locals call it, is in southern New Mexico about an hour north of Las Cruces. This town has an interesting mix of cutting edge technology, down to earth friendly people, hot springs and an awesome nearby state park on a huge lake. We actually slacked completely on the hot springs part but were told Riverbend Hot Springs were the most scenic as you overlooked a lake while soaking. There are also more traditional bath houses that are as cheap as $5 for a soak!
Downtown T or C is cool to stroll around, we recommend stopping at the brewery for some good local beer and some tasty snacks from the food truck out back.
About 15 minutes outside of town is Elephant Butte Lake State Park, which is where we set up camp. This park and the lake are huge and offers a lot of activities from laying on the sandy shores to hiking around to boat rentals.
White Sands was definitely at the top of all our list. It is a truly mesmerizing place in an eery and awesome kind of way. We had been before and knew that we had to go back again and this time we camped in the dunes overnight. We all loved it- but if you look at the pictures, Miles definitely loved it the most.
We honestly did not even know this place existed until we started looking at camping options near White Sands. How did this not come up in any of research of places to go in New Mexico? How did none of our friends mention this place? Cloudcroft is an adorable mountain town in southern New Mexico where one does not expect mountains to be at all. There is a ton of awesome hiking, a ton of scenic views and a ton of awesome camping. The town itself has a cute set of shops and some restaurants. There is also the historic lodge that has been there since 1911 and is supposed to be haunted.
Red River is located on the enchanted circle which is a scenic drive near Taos in northern New Mexico. It is also a ski town, however we were there not during ski season. The town itself is small but had plenty of shops and restaurants but what really enjoyed was the surrounding area. We spent a whole afternoon in Fawn Lakes recreation area playing in the river and enjoying the scenery. Also, the drive on the enchanted circle cant be beat- from the forested river side through Red River to the valley next to the mountains in Angel Fire and then the cute town of Taos.


Getting stronger is as challenging as it is rewarding. To strengthen and build muscles, you need to go beyond engaging your muscles. You also need to use resistance in your workouts. Resistance can be in the form of actual weights such as stretch bands, medicine balls, and barbells and dumbbells, which are commonly used in squat, dead-lift, bench press and shoulder press exercises. But you can also rely on the weight of your body to get stronger, usually while performing planks, crunches, lunges, pull-ups and modified push-ups. Most strength-training routines last only 20 to 30 minutes or an hour, requiring bursts of energy over a short period of time. Yes, you'll need lots of energy to perform these workouts, as they're designed to be intense and to push you hard.
Why put your muscles through that much stress?
Because challenging your muscles activates the motor units in them, facilitating the neuromuscular adaptations that are fundamental to training your muscles how to get stronger. If you want to develop your muscles, working them to exhaustion is also essential, as muscular damage and cellular fatigue allow for changes that support the muscle-building process known as hypertrophy.
Don't worry though. Your efforts are bound to pay off, in more ways than one. Strength training not only increases the strength and toughness of muscles but of bones, tendons and ligaments as well. Its benefits extend to enhancing cardiac and joint functions, elevating metabolism, improving mood and posture, supporting rehabilitation, and building anaerobic endurance. In addition, a number of sports, from bodybuilding to basketball and rowing, include strength training in athletes' training regimen to help boost performance and learn techniques on how to get strong fast.
The key to making the most out of any strength-training program is to execute the exercises with proper form and technique.
For optimum results, you can try different strategies such as training to failure, split training and periodization. Lifestyle-wise, you'll need to eat calorie-packed meals with high-quality protein and carbohydrate sources and get sufficient sleep at night to gain enough energy to build muscles and conquer strength training.
Strength training makes doing everyday tasks, from carrying groceries to pushing a car stuck in snow, a lot easier. But its benefits go beyond that.
In addition to muscle building, strength training is effective at burning fat, making you look slimmer and fitter. Men who focus on weight training tend to develop muscles. Women who focus on circuit or muscle resistance training attain a toned, firm physique while losing weight.
One of the factors contributing to fat loss: increased metabolism. After strength training, your body needs to put in greater effort to return to its normal pre-workout state, and the energy required for that elevates your metabolism for as long as 38 hours post-workout.
Strength-training routines also improve your resting metabolic rate (RMR). With every pound of muscle you gain, your RMR increases by 30 to 50 calories. The reason: compared to maintaining fat, your body requires more calories to maintain muscle.
Strength training can do wonders for your heart. It lowers resting blood pressure and enhances blood flow while helping control cholesterol and blood sugar levels. By doing so, it actually reduces the risk of heart disease, especially for conditions that are brought about mainly by obesity and diabetes.
The loss of muscle tissue is a normal part of aging, and so is the decline in bone and muscle strength. Strength training can boost bone density and stop muscle loss, making you less prone to osteoporosis and physical disability.
Strength-training routines have been used to help improve the well-being of people with arthritis, osteoporosis, lymphedema, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia and Down syndrome, as well as the quality of their daily life.
Plus, exercises that train muscles on how to become stronger are recommended for those who have recently had a heart attack or stroke, suffered a spinal cord injury, beaten cancer and experienced clinical depression. Specially designed strength-training routines allow a physiotherapist to target weak or impaired muscles in order to speed up an individual's recovery and allow him or her to get strong faster.
Strength training is an energy and confidence booster, a stress and anxiety reliever, and a mood pick-me-upper. Getting stronger can also help sharpen cognitive skills and prevent sleep problems such as insomnia and apnea.
Resistance training, in particular, calls for pushing hard, and the intensity of such workouts can pump up your dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin levels, which in turn can help improve your overall disposition.
Increased muscle strength results in better posture, better form, and better balance, stability and coordination. The joints are strengthened and better-supported too, which in turn makes you less vulnerable to injury from day-to-day activities.
Getting stronger also enables you to perform better, sports-wise. In fact, strength training is at the core of the training regimen for discus throw, Highland games, javelin throw, shot-put, strongman, bodybuilding, powerlifting and weightlifting. It is also a big plus for athletes who need to increase muscle strength while training for American football, soccer, rugby, lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, track and field, hockey and rowing.
Learning a bit of the science behind strength training can help you understand many of the why's and how's of the workouts you'll be performing to get stronger.
Let's start with neuromuscular adaptation, a technical term for teaching your muscles how to get stronger. This process starts as signals for muscle movement travel from the brain to motor neurons. The motor neurons then activate your muscle fibers, allowing your muscles to contract.
A motor neuron and the multiple muscle fibers it connects to is called a motor unit; a muscle can be made up of any number of motor units.
Motor unit recruitment, or how much of the motor unit is put to work, is low in a person without strength training. This means if he or she does a bicep curl, only half or so of the motor units for that particular movement is activated.
Strength-training routines, such as lifting heavy weights, tap into the motor units that aren't normally activated. It recruits more motor units, activates more muscle fibers, and in turn allows you to exert more force and build muscle strength.
If you don't challenge your muscles, then your body won't see the need to adapt. So it's up to you to encourage full motor unit recruitment and utilize the strength that lies within you.
Want to learn how to become stronger and bigger? Here are three ways muscle resistance training promotes muscle growth.
The increase in size—and overall mass—of muscle fibers is referred to as hypertrophy, and this too comes in different forms. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy results in an increase in a non-contractile fluid that accounts for 30 percent of a muscle's size. Myofibril hypertrophy strengthens a contractile part of the muscle, allowing for dense muscles. Transient hypertrophy, is responsible for the temporary "pumped up" appearance of muscles during or immediately after a strength-training routine. This is due only to fluid retention and usually subsides within 60 to 90 minutes.
Taking on a strength-training program successfully and safely requires learning the fundamentals of getting stronger.
Train two or three days a week, with 48-hour intervals for muscle repair and recovery. But strength-training routines can also be done for most of the week as long as you skip the full-body workout and alternate the muscle groups you engage (i.e., lower body on Day 1, upper body on Day 2).
Still, don't skip out on rest. Yes, you need to take "off" days to give your muscles time to relax and get stronger. On those days, you can instead do low-energy cardio exercises like walking and hiking. However, avoid running, biking, swimming and other exercises that are energy-intensive, as you'll need to conserve energy for your strength-training sessions.
Be mindful of and deliberate with your breathing. The key is to exhale when you push the hardest to lift a weight and inhale as you lower it and relax your muscles. Proper breathing also helps keep your blood pressure in check and prevent dizziness.
Repetitions (reps) pertain to how many times a single cycle or activity is performed, while rep maximum (rep max; RM) is the number of reps that can be completed at a certain load or weight. The number of reps performed without a break in between is referred to as a set.
For strength-training routines, you can begin with two sets of ten to 12 reps, completing each rep within four to six seconds. If you're targeting both strength gains and muscle growth, stick to sets of five.
Muscles need time to rest and recover during the course of a resistance training workout, typically two to five minutes between sets.
Remember, before going for another lift, you shouldn't feel fatigued or still be breathing heavily from the previous lift. Give your muscles time to fully regenerate—regain fuel or energy for muscle contractions—before you put them to work again.
Train to failure means pushing your muscles to the point that you can no longer complete one more rep. This causes your muscles to break down and in turn allows them to rebuild.
But you don't have to train to complete failure during each set. Instead train close to failure for the first three sets, so that you'll have energy to complete the last set.
And you don't have to do this for every exercise. Training to failure works best if done periodically and with different exercises. If the routine begins to feel easy, challenge yourself by adding 5 pounds or five reps.
You can't actually fully train all muscle groups in a single day. But with split training, you can spread out the training of muscle groups over several days. The muscle groups are then trained to exhaustion and given about 72 hours to fully recover.
For a five-day training split, for instance, you could work the chest and abs on Monday; shoulders and calves on Tuesday; back, traps and abs on Wednesday; triceps, biceps and forearms on Thursday; and legs and calves on Friday. Just make sure you give each muscle group equal attention.
It doesn't take long for beginners to see progress after adding load or reps with each workout or week. There's a good chance, however, for the progress to stall or plateau along the way.
Periodization prevents this from happening by dividing the program into periods, with reps and weights changing with each period. You can increase the weights and decrease the reps, or vice versa. And you can increase and decrease weights and reps sporadically.
You can use any of the following in strength-training exercises.
Also known as resistance bands, stretch bands are much like giant rubber bands that can be looped around either foot or both feet while doing a seated row, single leg press and seated arm curls, or held by the hand while doing a triceps overhead press.
A medicine ball is a synthetic rubber ball that's similar in size to a soccer ball but has been filled with sand to make it heavy. It is available in various weights, starting at 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) and reaching up to 8 kilograms, and can be used in a full range of motion and to engage all muscle groups while performing abdominal curls, double-leg kicks, straight-arm throws and torso twists.
Barbells and dumbbells are quintessential tools in resistance training. They load a lot of weight and are ideal for heavy lifting. They are frequently used in the "big four" exercises: the squat, dead-lift, bench press and shoulder press.
Actual weights aren't always necessary. The weight of your body can be the load when doing modified push-ups (on knees or in standing position), pull-ups, lunges, planks and abdominal crunches. The pull-up is a particularly popular weight-building exercise, as it requires you to lift your entire weight using just your back and arms.
Why: This weakens your body and makes performing the exercise harder, activating more muscles.
How: Raise your hands as you do crunches, lunges, sit-ups and squats. Or simply place your hands behind your head.
Why: This puts more muscles to work and therefore builds more muscle.
How: During lunges, place either foot on a step. During push-ups, put your hands on top of books or your feet up on a chair. During sit-ups, rest the arch of your lower back on a rolled-up towel.
Why: This eliminates the elasticity in your muscles, forcing the recruitment of additional muscle fibers.
How: When in the down position of any exercise, pause for four seconds before returning to the starting position.
Why: Many weight-lifting exercises involve only front-to-back, up-and-down or side-to-side movements, missing out on the rotational movements that would allow you to engage your core while working your original target muscles.
How: Rotate your hips when you do the reverse crunch, or twist your torso to the left or right when you do lunges, push-ups and sit-ups.
Why: When your body has less contact with the floor, it is less stable. That means your muscles must work harder to provide the support your body needs.
How: Have one foot in the air during deadlifts, push-ups and squats, or do push-ups with your fists or fingertips.
Three or four lifts for each workout will suffice. Striving for more might just hold your back. Do one main lift (any of the big four exercises) and one or two assistance lifts (for extra muscle strength and balance), capped off with specialty or core work such as calf or forearm moves and ab exercises.
Tracking rep speed is not necessary. Count only the number of reps in a set, keeping your focus on properly raising and lowering weights.
To prevent muscle imbalances and injury, make sure you cover both sides of the body in your training read review. It doesn't have to be within a single session, but ideally within the same week. Say you do chest exercises on one day. Don't forget to do back-training lifts on another day. If you work your quads with squats on one day, engage your hamstrings via Romanian deadlifts on another day.
Light cardio such as pedalling a bike or jogging on a treadmill may help you break a sweat, but you'll be better prepared to lift if you warm up using exercises that allow your joints to move through a full range of motion. Body-weight lunges, jumps and throwing exercises are recommended as they not only get your joints moving but also get your nervous system ready for heavy lifting.
If you need greater lift support, wake up your core with two or three sets of the plank. Go into a push-up position but with your forearms resting on the floor. Hold this for between 20 and 30 seconds per set.
Before you take on a set, visualize yourself doing it, from how you'll breathe to where you'll be focusing your eyes on. Think of this as a way to familiarize yourself with—and ease yourself into—the set. Don't let doubt, fear and the lack of self-confidence psyche you out.
It helps to have someone who's stronger to spot you. His or her presence, intimidating as it may be, can inspire you to train more intensely.
Work out barefoot at home. Do the same in the gym if you're allowed to, or stick to thin-soled footwear like Chuck Taylors. When there's less (or zero) material between the floor and your feet as you lift, your body will be able to activate more muscles.
An ice pack gives your senses a jolt, much like a cold shower first thing in the morning would. Holding on to one for a minute or two before your lift can stimulate your nervous system.
Lifting chalk contains magnesium carbonate, which helps keep your hands dry, strengthen your grip and ultimately increase your max.
Wearing a weight belt not only supports your lower back but also ups your max while you do presses, deadlifts and squats.
After each workout, take note of the number of sets and reps, the kind of exercise you did and how it all turned out. By doing so, you can monitor the best lifts you've performed and the most reps you've completed with certain weights and exercises. You can then work on beating those numbers.
If you can afford to, get a personal trainer to teach you best practices and proper form and to guide you through a training program that's tailor-fit to your needs. You can also rent or purchase fitness videos for helpful ideas and demonstrations.
Your workouts can only take you so far. To get stronger, you also need to align your diet with your weight training. The reason: What you consume pre-, during- and post-workout and throughout your training period can affect your body's response and your muscle's growth.
About an hour of two prior to your workout, eat a balanced but light meal. This gives your body the amino acids and energy it needs to get through an intense workout.
Throughout the workout, drink water to stay hydrated and on top of your game. Dehydration can lead to poor performance, so don't skip the water.
After the workout, have a recovery drink of your choice. It's best if the drink contains protein, as your protein uptake and usage increase post-workout. You'll also need to replenish glycogen lost during the workout by consuming glucose. For optimum results though, go with a drink that not only has glucose (dextrose) and protein hydrolysate (with dipeptides and tripeptides) but leucine too.
Even when you're not working out, you must still be mindful of what you eat. For one, you need lots of calories, as muscle building burns lots of calories. So brace for three big, calorie-packed meals a day, plus heavy snacks in between.
But that doesn't mean you can fill up on anything you please. If you want to nourish your muscles, opt for high-quality whole foods and cover all basic food groups. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meat, eggs and fish along with healthy oils and fats plus whole grains.
In terms of protein and carbohydrate intake, experts recommend 1.4 to 1.8g of protein and 5 to 7g of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight each day. Protein facilitates muscle building, while carbohydrates work to restore glycogen levels and provide energy.
As for foods you must avoid, steer clear of anything that's fried and packaged with preservatives and additives. Also on the list: sugar, salty snacks and processed flours.
Oh and don't forget to drink at least 10 glasses of water daily. Energy drinks work too; however, these contain sugars and other additives. If you prefer flavored drinks, simply squeeze a bit of lime or lemon into your glass of water.
Just as your muscles need to rest, you too need to rest—rest in the form of sleep that is.
Fact is most of your muscle gains from training come while you're resting, not while you're working out. So you can look forward to better results if you're getting sufficient sleep, ideally seven to nine hours per night.
Of course, a good night's sleep also energizes your body so it's fully conditioned to push hard for your next workout. Plus, you wouldn't want to work out feeling sleepy, as this will not only hold you back but also make you more vulnerable to injury.
Learning how to get stronger is not going to be easy or comfortable. But embrace the challenge. Give it your all, and you'll see impressive results that can improve your health, boost your confidence and change your life.

I require a specialist in this area to solve my problem. Maybe that's you!


We know you're going. We understand why you will. Unwind, relax, all that stuff.
Leave early from Manila to avoid EDSA traffic. Once out of the metro, expressways will disappoint your expectation of a long ride. (Take routes that pass thru South Luzon Expressway and Southern Tagalog Arterial Road.) Two hours on a bus with free Wi-Fi, or a free movie, is more than bearable.
You'll arrive at Batangas port. After an hour or so, you're at the beach, wetting your toes, and yourself, at the sea.
But where to stay there, you say?
You have lots of options. But don't hold back on treating yourself.
Pick a resort at the beach front, not those requiring you to walk or to take a ride to the beach.
Pick a place where you can actually relax. It's a tourist spot. There's a lot going on at the center of that stretch of sand. Some places are in fact a little cramped.
That's why you're doing yourself a favor reading this and learning about Villa Bienvenida.
Villa Bienvenida is at the perfect spot along the coast of White Beach, Puerto Galera.
It's near enough to the chaos of fun that is Puerto Galera nightlife if you are so inclined. Fire dancers, disco music, and the smell of sizzling food everywhere. Yet far enough from the thick of it to still enjoy a good night's rest if need be.

Q: How to add percentage label without changing order by Google Chat I want to add percentage marks to number labels and found a option for it.
{hAxis: {format: 'percent'}}

But it also multiple the number by 100.

For instance, {hAxis: { format:'#,###%'} } displays the values "1,000%", "750%", and "50%" for values 10, 7.5, and 0.5.

https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/customizing_axes#number-formats
How can I just add % to the labels?

A: you could try adding custom axis labels, or ticks...
using object notation, you can provide both a...
value (v:) and a formatted value (f:)
then using google's NumberFormat class, build each tick manually...
var formatPercent = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
  suffix: '%'
});

...
ticks.push({
  v: data.getValue(i, 0),
  f: formatPercent.formatValue(data.getValue(i, 0))
});

...
hAxis: {
  ticks: ticks
}

see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: drawChart,
  packages:['corechart']
});
function drawChart() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['X', 'Y'],
    [1, 1],
    [10, 2],
    [20, 3],
    [30, 4]
  ]);

  var formatPercent = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
    pattern: '#,##0',
    suffix: '%'
  });

  var ticks = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < data.getNumberOfRows(); i++) {
    ticks.push({
      v: data.getValue(i, 0),
      f: formatPercent.formatValue(data.getValue(i, 0))
    });
  }

  var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
  chart.draw(data, {
    hAxis: {
      ticks: ticks
    }
  });
}


(MARICOPA, Ariz. – Jan. 4, 2017) – The Ak-Chin Indian Community has elected Robert Miguel as chairman, Gabriel Lopez as vice-chairman, and Delia Carlyle, Ann Antone and Alvin Antone as councilmembers. Miguel and Lopez will serve four-year terms, and the three councilmembers will serve two-year terms. This year's election was particularly historic because it was the first time Community members were able to vote for chairman and vice-chairman. A change to the constitution was adopted in July 2016 allowing for candidates to run for a specific office and for Community members to vote specifically for the chairman and vice chairman in addition to councilmembers.
Miguel, who was the incumbent chairman, is passionate about Community growth and a growing infrastructure. Additionally, he is a strong believer in prioritizing education by providing a greater level of educational resources both to adults and children.
Lopez, who has previously served four terms on the council, has also played an active role in the Ak-Chin Indian Community, having served on the Education Committee, Industrial Park Board, Livestock Association, Community Charter School Committee, Masik Tas Committee and Community Justice Complex Committee. Lopez is a strong proponent of upholding O'odham culture and traditions, and in turn keeping the O'odham language alive.
As a councilmember, Carlyle, who has previously served two consecutive terms on the council, most recently as vice-chairman, is looking to expand the Community's economic self-sufficiency. Additionally, she places great importance on the progressive teamwork on the council.
Ann Antone, who will be serving her second term with the council, had previously held several jobs in the Community, including positions with the Recreation and Education departments and at Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino. She is committed to important issues facing the Community such as greater revenue-generating projects, education, and economic development and further positioning the Community as one of the best tribal communities in North America.
While Miguel, Lopez, Carlyle and Ann Antone have all served previously on the council, Alvin Antone will be serving his first term. His focus will be on improving education, healthcare, and farming and he looks forward to continuing to grow the Community's enterprises, while still maintaining the Ak-Chin Indian Community's traditions and culture.
The elections for the Tribal Council were held Nov. 19, 2016 and the swearing-in ceremony was held on Jan. 3, 2017.
The Ak-Chin Indian Community is nestled into the Santa Cruz Valley of Southern Arizona. The Community lies 35 miles south of Phoenix in the northwestern part of Pinal County. Ak-Chin is an O'odham word translated to mean "mouth of the wash" or "place where the wash loses itself in the sand or ground." Ak-Chin has an enrollment of more than 1,022 tribal members and a land base of just over 22,000 acres. The Ak-Chin Indian Community has a variety of business enterprises including Harrah's Ak-Chin, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, Vekol Market, UltraStar Multi-tainment Center and Santa Cruz Commerce Center.

Q: How to save socket clients data into array and use it later on I am receiving data from different GPS devices in my TCP socket server. Each device has a unique id that is coming on with its response. All I want is whenever the new device connects with my server, I want to query my database first and then save that data into an array along with that socket data. So if that device sends data again, I don't need to query my database again. This is what I have tried so far
const Net = require('net');
var socketarray = [];
const server = new Net.Server();
const HOST = "IP";
const PORT = 8888;
var car_id;
var car_no;
var car_username;

server.listen(PORT, HOST);
  server.on('connection', function(socket) {
    console.log('A new connection has been established.');

    socket.on('data', function(data) {
      var server_data = data.toString();
      var car_details = server_data.split(',').filter(str => str != "");
      var car_id = car_details[0];
      var find_string = socketarray.findIndex(x => x.car_id == car_id);
      if (find_string === -1) {
        getCarDetails(car_id, function(car_details) {
          var length = socketarray.push({
            "car_id": "" + car_id,
            "car_no": car_details.car_no,
            "car_username": car_details.username,
          });

          car_id = car_id;
          car_no = car_details.car_no;
          car_username = car_details.username;
        });
        index = length - 1;
      } else {
        index = find_string;
        car_id = socketarray[find_string].car_id;
        car_no = socketarray[find_string].car_no;
        car_username = socketarray[find_string].car_username;
      }
    });

    socket.on('end', function() {
      console.log('Closing connection with the client');
    });

    socket.on('error', function(err) {
      console.log(`Error: ${err}`);
    });
});

function getCarDetails(car_id,callback) {
  console.log("db called");
  db.getConnection((err, connection) => {
    if(err){
      console.log("error is" + err);
      //throw err;
      return;
    }
    console.log('connected as id ' + connection.threadId);
    let selectQuery = 'SELECT * FROM ?? WHERE ?? = ?';
    let query = mysql.format(selectQuery, ["car", "id", car_id]);
    // query = SELECT * FROM `todo` where `user` = 'shahid'
    connection.query(query, (err, data) => {
      connection.release();
      if(err) {
        console.error(err);
        //throw err;
        return;
      }
      // rows fetch
      if(data.length > 0){
        return callback(data[0]);
      } else{
        return callback(false);
      }
   });
  });
}

I am using these variables later in my program and also modifying the array by using index variables like this e.g socketarray[index].car_username = "bello". But somehow I am having issues like data got mixed up. Since I am pushing into DB at the end but the issue is sometimes some other car data get inserted into some other car data in MySQL.
Am I doing something wrong in the program? I am having difficulties tracking the exact issue of where on what position arrays got mixed up.

Enbridge to build North America's first full-scale carbon capture facility in Alberta
CALGARY, AB. – Cement is an important construction ingredient around the world, and as a result, cement production is a significant source of global carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions, making up approximately 2.4 percent of global CO2 emissions from industrial and energy sources.
Today, Enbridge said it is developing North America's first full-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage solution for the cement industry. With the goal of capturing approximately 780,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. Enbridge Inc., with the support of Lehigh and Capital Power Corporation, announced a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on a the carbon capture facility at Lehigh's cement manufacturing facility in Edmonton.
Captured emissions would be transported via pipeline and permanently sequestered by Enbridge. Subject to the award of carbon sequestration rights and regulatory approvals, the project could be in service as early as 2025.
Enbridge is applying to develop an open access carbon hub in the Wabamun area, west of Edmonton, Alberta, through the Government of Alberta's Request for Full Project Proposals process.
This collaboration demonstrates our focus on local, cost-effective, customer-focused carbon transportation and storage solutions that drive scale and competitiveness while minimizing infrastructure footprint to protect land, water and the environment.
Colin Gruending, Enbridge Executive Vice President and President, Liquids Pipelines
Enbridge Inc. is a multinational pipeline company headquartered in Calgary. It owns and operates pipelines throughout Canada and the United States, transporting crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Enbridge's expansive pipeline system is the longest in North America. Its crude oil system consists of 27,500 kilometres (17,100 miles) of pipelines in Canada and the United States.
Combined, the emissions from Capital Power and Lehigh's planned carbon capture projects represent an opportunity to avoid nearly 4 million tonnes of atmospheric CO2 emissions. Once built, the Open Access Wabamun Carbon Hub will be among the largest integrated CCUS projects in the world.
At Lehigh Hanson, we believe that carbon capture and storage technology will play a key role in transforming the cement industry and building a more sustainable future.
Joerg Nixdorf, President of Lehigh Hanson's Canada Region
"Lehigh Cement's pioneering CCUS project is an exciting addition to our proposed Open Access Wabamun Carbon Hub, which is poised to support the decarbonization of multiple industries, including power generation, oil and gas, and now cement," said Colin Gruending, Enbridge Executive Vice President and President, Liquids Pipelines.
The Cement Association of Canada said, "This facility is another positive step forward supporting an end-to-end solution for carbon capture and permanent storage."
The industry body says these types of partnerships on critical technologies like CCUS are how we will win the fight against climate change and demonstrate to Canadians and the world how our hard-to-abate industry will reach its net-zero ambition. Collaborative CCUS solutions help enable large-scale emissions reductions, across multiple industries, including cement production.

Life Extension CoQ10 100mg 60 Gels | Coenzyme Q10 Ubiquinone Kaneka d-Limonene - is currently on backorder. You may still purchase now though and we'll ship as soon as more become available.
Super-Absorbable CoQ10 uses a patent-pending system designed to work with body heat and intestinal pH to enhance absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. When activated by ingestion, the Ubiquinone CoQ10 oil droplets are released to form a uniform and soluble emulsion with gastric fluids.
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function.
CoQ10 is required to convert fats and sugars into cellular energy, yet the natural production of CoQ10 declines with advancing age. When the body has an ample amount of CoQ10, the mitochondria can work most efficiently in cells everywhere, including the most densely populated area, the heart. CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant, helping protect the proteins, lipids and DNA of mitochondria from oxidation, and supporting mitochondrial function.
Super-Absorbable CoQ10 with d-Limonene provides the ubiquinone form of CoQ10 in a super-emulsified formulation. d-Limonene is a natural compound in orange oil that disperses and breaks down the CoQ10 particles, which reduces their size and makes CoQ10 more absorb-able by the body.

Stat Tracking: Own Goals
How should own Goals be tracked?
NHL Style (given to last player that touched the puck on offensive team)
Soccer Style (accredit defensive player that scored the own goal)
Don't accredit anyone

So I didn't see a rule about this anywhere on the site, but how should we officially be tracking own goal stats. The way I see it, there are two options. Accredit no one on the scoring team with a goal and the goals scored by each player and total goals scored by a team will not match. Or we could accredit the last player on the scoring team to have touched the puck with a goal. This latter option is the way that the NHL tracks own goals.

I think that the people tracking the stats should decide on this one since it might be hard sometimes to go and look at who touched the puck from other team last but i think it would be a cool touch
Post by daggius » Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:38 pm
own goal should be its own column on the skater stats , should be credited to the player on the defending team who scored it

I've recorded two own goals, and both times I used the NHL method of giving goal credit to the last skater to touch the puck for the team receiving the goal. It's also possible to just edit the final score after we've imported the stats (as was done for the last two games) and no stat is entered for the own goal.

Using the NHL method doesn't make sense in in Zealot Hockey because the most own goals in NHL are result of deflections (where it makes sense to award the shooter). Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Own_goal:
If a goal is scored by a player on the defending team, credit for the goal goes to the last player on the other team to have touched the puck; this is because own goals in hockey are typically cases where the player so credited had the shot deflected, but this convention is used even where this isn't actually the case.
There aren't deflections in Zealot Hockey. If the puck hits a defender, it stops moving. It takes a deliberate action from the player to cause an own goal, i.e. them hitting it with their stick. For example: the two main causes of own goal in Zealot Hockey are:
1. a mis-aimed backpass to goalie and
2. a spam-clicking resteal in front of crease that accidentally turns into a shot into your own net
For this reason it makes more sense to use the soccer scoring protocol for own goals. This is because in soccer, most own goals are not deflections, just like in Zealot Hockey. Own goals are usually scored in soccer by a deliberate attempt of the player (i.e. he extends his leg to block a cross but mishits it, bad backpass to goalie, etc) that is misplayed into his own net.
In association football, an own goal occurs when a player causes the ball to go into his or her own team's goal, resulting in a goal being scored for the opposition.
The fact that the defending player touches the ball last does not automatically mean that the goal is recorded as an own goal. Only if the ball would not have gone past the goal-line but for the defending player would an own goal be credited. Thus a shot which is already "on target" would not be an own goal even if deflected by the defender. In this case the attacker is awarded the goal, even if the shot would have otherwise been easily saved by the goalkeeper. Some scorers will give credit to the attacker if the defender's mistake caused the own goal, similar to ice hockey. The Laws of the Game do not stipulate any rules or procedures for crediting goals to players, and indeed such records are not a compulsory part of the game.
The defending player who scored the own goal is personally "credited" with the goal as part of the statistical abstract of the game. The credit is annotated "(og)" to indicate its nature.
It is clear that Zealot Hockey is more aligned with the soccer own goal definition. Look at the 2 own goals from last Sunday for example. They were not deflected goals by a shooter, so it makes no sense awarding the goal to the shooter. Death's OG was a resteal attempt that turned into him shooting into his own net. Deliberate play on the ball by him that caused a goal. Blitzergs goal, he held the puck for several seconds in front of crease with no opponent pressuring him. Then he mis-played a pass back to the goalie into his own net. Makes no sense awarding a goal to an opponent in this case either.

Majority favors giving to last player who touched the puck so going with that from now on.
