Q: Array index seems to slide when writing values I have a Npp8u * image = new Npp8u[nWidth * nHeight]; array that stores grayscale image values. I defined Npp8u as typedef unsigned char Npp8u;. The problem occurs when I try to subtract the lowest image value from ever pixel.
I use this function to do the subtraction.
void SubtractValue(Npp8u * image, int width, int height, Npp8u value){
    int iValue = value;
    for (int i = 0; i < height; ++i){
        for (int j = 0; j < width; ++j){
            int indexVal = (image[i*width + j]);
            int newVal = indexVal - iValue;
            image[i*width + j] = (Npp8u) newVal;
        }
    }
}

Result of this function is quite strange. I use Lena Image to test, this is the original image.
If the value is 85 I get the following image

Note: The original image is .pgm
Reading procedure:
for (int i = 0; i < nHeight; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < nWidth; ++j)
        image[i*nWidth + j] = fgetc(fInput);

Writing procedure:
for (int i = 0; i < nHeight; ++i)
    for (int j = 0; j < nWidth; ++j)
        fputc(image[i*nWidth + j], fOutput);

Update: The problem occurs if the pixel has the value 10, which is new line feed.

A: Since you mentioned that character 10 was causing the issue, one would suspect that the image format you're reading/writing needs to processed in "binary" file mode, so that ASCII 10 is not treated as a line feed.
Therefore make sure that file is opened in binary mode (for fopen use the "rb" or "wb" flags, depending on whether you're reading or writing).

If you read this blog you already know how crazy I think the world is right now. It is upside down and inside out as I like to say. I suppose I could get caught up in that scenario like so many others, but I choose not to as best I can. I have the kind of mind when if presented with a problem, it immediately goes looking for a solution on its own. So of course I look at Spain and the world as a whole right now, but I also look deeper into the why of everything, for the core, for it is there that the true solution for healing humanity must begin. This is where medicine today is failing. We must stop taking in all forms of distraction/medicine to mask our problems, like an aspirin to take away pain. Heal the problem heal the pain. As with every lesson we are meant to learn in this life time, if we ignore the lesson, it just gets worse, amplified by ten, it screams and causes pain until we pay attention and act.
If you look at everything going down around the world right now one central theme runs throughout it all…We have not learned the art of listening. Think how frustrated and sometimes angry you get when you are trying to get a point across but nobody is listening. It is an attack on our validation. Everyone needs to feel validated. It is part of being human. It nurtures our being and we feel strength and goodness from it. It is so sad to watch the whole world not be able to listen. Nobody is being heard, nobody is being understood, nobody is being validated and it is causing great friction that is burning so hot it is about to ignite. To not listen is also to not respect and we are seeing little respect being shown to anyone. All the screaming and spewing the most hateful words we can dream up to try to hurt someone else, to demean them, injure them, destroy them. It is pitiful to have to acknowledge that this is our world today.
Listening is so automatic like breathing, that we pay it little attention and therein lies our problem we need to fix. We need to learn how to listen correctly without judgment and with an open compassionate heart. It is such a shame that our so-called leaders have disgraced us all by their partisan bickering, dangerous ego games and total lack of caring about the people who put them in office. From birth on we have learned how to navigate our world from watching others. I feel shame and disgust when I watch what goes on in Washington. Words, lies and manipulation. They are so busy keeping their stories straight so they can get re-elected that they can't listen and certainly not with an honest, compassionate heart. If they will not show maturity and leadership, then we the people must step in and take over, pushing them all out of office for not doing their jobs. Don't forget they work for US!
Our leaders will not listen so it is now up to us to focus on our individual lives and master the fine art of listening with compassion. All people wish to be heard and understood, so we ALL have to learn by making sure we listen with an open heart. It will take practice for we will immediately go for what is familiar. We judge, we assume, we criticize. We can end this way of being in the world, it just takes doing it. Making conscious choices for the betterment of others, thinking before we ourselves speak, concentrating on the person speaking and what they are saying, not on what our response is going to be. That is ego speaking. Tuck ego to bed and choose to be a better you and hopefully those around us will do the same. We can't change the whole world but we can change ourselves.
Ah, well. I'm pleased to say I'm not one of them, VK. To my detriment I weigh things up a little too much, but then I don't have a team of advisers telling me when to breathe, etc.!


Southern Pain and Neurological is excited to offer two new state of the art treatments to help patients avoid surgery and to return to as normal a quality of life as is possible with minimally invasive techniques.
Get to know Southern Pain's Barry F. Faust, M.D.
Here at Southern Pain & Neurological, we think it's important that our patients get the best possible care. That means finding pain specialists who have the expertise to help our patients, and the passion our patients deserve from their caregivers.
Suffice to say, Dr. Barry F. Faust Jr. doesn't just meet these expectations. He exceeds them.
There are so many components that go into making a successful clinic. There's, of course, the caliber of physicians on staff. There's the team's innate passion for helping others who are in pain. And there's the desire to go above and beyond one's obligations to make the team better.
All of these qualities are what make Dr. Donald E. Richardson such an integral part of our team.
If you suffer from chronic neck pain, you know that finding relief isn't easy. In fact, finding the source of neck pain is incredibly challenging. This is why many doctors rarely diagnose the specific source of neck pain with high confidence — there are too many possible causes, and too many of them are poorly understood.
One possible source of your pain are the knuckle-like facet joints. Each vertebra has a pair of these facet joints, and they often pop or slide in place. This can cause considerable neck pain. But it's also hard to pinpoint and diagnose. And, of course, this is only one potential source of your chronic pain.
That's why it's usually not recommended that you pursue surgical procedures as your primary source of relieving chronic neck pain. Surgeries address very specific areas of your body and may leave you with the same chronic pain you were experiencing before surgery.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal in your lumbar (or lower back). As the spinal canal narrows, the nerves found within your spine can become pinched. Here at Southern Pain & Neurological of Greater New Orleans, we often treat this painful condition with epidural steroid injections.


Officiating is a vital part of every football game at every level.
Whether you are the beneficiary of a "holding call" that brings back a long score by your opponent or the victim of a pass interference call that keeps their drive alive….making the correct call is extremely important in the outcome of so many games. At the high school level there is rarely the technology available to review a call so it comes down to the basic "human" factor of an official's judgement..right or wrong. It may have a big impact on a win or loss, which may affect getting into playoffs, but it is not life and death and certainly not a matter of millions of dollars being at stake.
You just have to believe the men did their best and accept where the chips fall.
The college game is a whole different situation. There are huge implications in FBS games. Yes, and millions of dollars can be at stake. Today, there is technology available that gives officiating crews the opportunity to review calls and correct errors. Should this capability be available at every game in the big money arena of college ball? Is too much at stake to leave results to chance of error?
Many questions might be considered. Should a Commissioner have the right to "fine and suspend" a team's coach? Is criticizing a call a grievous action?
Does this only apply to criticism in the media….or can it be applied to "actions on the sidelines"? What happened to free speech anyhow? One might wonder the fairness of the fine for criticizing officials when that conference had already suspended officials for inaccuracies this season. How about the amount….$30,000 is a ton of money…and incidentally…where will that fine go. Maybe to fund more officials training. Is this an example of dualities? On the one hand football officials should be above reproach (at least in the paper) while at the same time..everything else is about the money. Bad calls can have a tremendous affect on who wins and ultimately who gets to play for the big pay.
What do you think? Ultimately, the judgment of the officials has to be dependable and correct in as many cases as possible for the game to be fairly played. And they are human. But is it also OK that there can be a verdict without a trial?

Life Without The Doctor, Foreshadowing in the Power of Three

I'm still not quite sure how I feel about the direction this week's episode of Doctor Who took and when I say direction I mean both the plot of the show and the literal directing. As we get closer and closer to Amy Pond and Rory Williams's departure from the show, the episodes have been taking a closer look at them. We have often been given small scenes portraying Amy and Rory's life without the Doctor but this week's episode, the Power of Three, focused on the life Amy and Rory are creating together.
This entire episode was specifically crafted to show that Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) are beginning build a life for themselves that doesn't revolve around the Doctor (Matt Smith). Amy has begun writing for a magazine and Rory has been asked to work at the hospital full time. We learned quickly that the time between the Doctor's visits to Earth have grown in length which has given Rory and Amy time to start a life. At one point Amy even asks "did real life just start?" The two have not just considered but actually started a life without the Doctor. Though it has been months since his last visit, the episode begins with an event that demands a visit from the Doctor. One night, hundreds of thousands of small, identical black cubes appeared all over Earth. With the cubs posing no immediate threat, the Doctor determines the only course of action is to observe the cubes until they do something. After four days of observation the Doctor gets antsy. Begrudgingly offering to observe the cubes, Amy releases the Doctor to travel the universe while she and Rory stay on Earth.
The cubes remained inactive for almost a year and even before they active (which we all knew they were going to do) the Doctor visits Earth for Amy and Rory's wedding anniversary. It is then that the Doctor begins to realize that he and his companions are moving in different directions. Choosing to deal with his hatred of boredom, the Doctor decides that he misses Amy and Rory and rather than dragging them off to dangerous adventures in space he stays with them at their house. After about a week of the Doctor being there, the cubes finally activate. The cubes, which have now been dispersed all over the world, scan the entirety of the human race before attacking. The Doctor finds out that the cubes were sent by a race of aliens called the Shakri, a mythological race from the Doctor's old bad time stories. Dead set on exterminating the human problem, the Shakri are attacking and as always, the Doctor stops them.
Earlier I mentioned that the way this episode was directed bothered me and it only bothered me for one specific reason. If I had to pick one word to describe this episode it would be scatterbrained. This episode covered multiple years yet Amy and Rory didn't seem to age a day. The explanation of the villain was rushed and didn't really make sense though they made it seem as if the villain was an important figure in the Doctor's folklore. I am hoping that the introduction of this group of villains, the Shakri, was simply foreshadowing their return as a major villain later in the season or series. Overall I did like this episode but it was no the most coherent and cohesive episode of this season.
While I fought faults and flaws in this episode, the overall message comes through crystal clear. The Doctor and the Ponds are growing apart. Life is going on and changing around all three of them but it is directing them to different paths. The question arises in the episode, do the Ponds travel with the Doctor because they are running away from their real lives or if the Doctor keeps running back to the Ponds to keep them from fading out of his life. Both parties realize that the end of their time together is coming. The Ponds are just about ready to begin their own lives, their own normal lives as a married couple living on Earth. For the Doctor, a normal life is what he does, travelling around in the TARDIS and seeing everything the ever expanding, ever changing universe has to offer. They are moving in different directions and eventually, they will have to travel together for the last time.
Next week's episode features the return of one of the Doctor's most infamous villains, The Weeping Angels. The episode will be called The Angels Take Manhattan but the episode will feature far more important aspects than just the return of the Weeping Angels. The fall, mid-season finale, this episode will feature the final goodbye between the Doctor and Ponds.

HERNDON, Va. -- His right leg is strong from a summer's rest. His mind is clear of the debris that clutters the brain cells of most place-kickers. His job is safe and secure.
All is right in Chip Lohmiller's world these days.
All except for the golf, that is. The golf has not gone well, not since he played in a celebrity tournament at Lake Tahoe last summer.
"I haven't played much lately," the Washington Redskins place-kicker said yesterday. "After the tournament, I tossed my [golf] bag in the closet."
Lohmiller is a 5-handicap golfer and a prolific field-goal scoring machine. While golf is a part-time passion, football is what pays the bills. Counting the four long field goals he nailed in Texas Stadium on Monday night in a 33-31 victory over Dallas, he has hit 17 in a row in a streak that started last December. His Texas performance earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Indeed, Lohmiller is a big reason the Redskins are 2-0 and will play Phoenix, also 2-0, for the NFC East lead Sunday at RFK Stadium (1 p.m., Ch. 11). He is becoming the most reliable weapon in an offense noted for its reliability. And it's not just the field goals. Eight times in the first two games of the season, his long, knuckle-balling kickoffs were unreturnable by the opposition.
"My leg is much stronger than it's been in the past," said Lohmiller, 25. "I changed my routine this year. I didn't kick as much in the offseason."
In 50 games with the Redskins since he was a second-round draft pick in 1988, Lohmiller has scored 380 points, an average of better than seven a game. He has been successful on 83 of 111 regular-season kicks, a .747 percentage. That includes six game-winning kicks, too.
"Chip has taken the step to the next level," said his agent, Tony Agnone.
Special teams coach Wayne Sevier put it this way: "He is about to be, if not the best, on the same level as the best you want to name. Gary Anderson . . . Morten Andersen . . . Nick Lowery . . . he's in that level."
And then there's head coach Joe Gibbs. "He's marvelous," Gibbs said. "[But] I don't go near him. That's Wayne's job."
The Redskins clearly are appreciative of the job Lohmiller has done. Agnone said they have quietly begun negotiations to extend his contract, which expires after this year.
Lohmiller doesn't fit the NFL prototype for a place-kicker. He is neither eccentric nor flaky. At 6 feet 3 and 213 pounds, he is more athletic than most kickers. In high school in Minnesota, he played strong safety and wide receiver in addition to place-kicking and punting. He also played hockey, baseball and golf. But what really separates him from the pack is his "Easy Rider" mentality.
A poor kick "doesn't weigh on him," said Sevier. "He keeps everything in good perspective. Chip has as good emotional balance as anybody I've been around."
Agnone remembers Lohmiller's rookie season when that wasn't necessarily the case. Three weeks after he kicked a field goal to beat Pittsburgh, Lohmiller missed a 36-yarder at RFK in a 24-23 loss to the New York Giants.
"Chip was very low," Agnone said. "He realized then that this can be very fleeting."
Lohmiller said he learned to achieve an even keel while kicking for Lou Holtz at the University of Minnesota.
meeting and we had a talk. He said if I can do it in practice, I can do it in a game situation. He said I should have confidence in myself."
Lowmiller has been remarkably consistent -- and confident -- in his NFL career. Since missing four-of-six field-goal attempts against Philadelphia last October, he has converted 25 of his last 28 chances.
"There's no such thing as going into a slump," he said. "You're not going to make a kick every single time. Sometimes [the misses] may come in a row.
"I don't worry about those things. That's one of the things I do best. I just look at it as a chance to go out and kick the ball. I just want to do my job."
The Redskins have no complaints.


In an interesting twist, New York – a state that forbids compensated surrogacy – has now determined that it is acceptable (ethically) to compensate women for donating eggs to be used for clinical research. Perhaps the distinction is that legislators (I'd venture to guess from upstate territories) were behind New York's statutory prohibition on commercial surrogacy, while more enlightened scientists and other interdisciplinary professionals who make up an ethical review board are behind this latest ruling. ASRM compensation and procurement guidelines will continue to control. A pioneering move sure to generate controversy.


TJ Collectibles – Star City Games In-Store Programs Homepage!
For the November store spotlight, we're going to the famous Thanksgiving state, Massachusetts, home of TJ Collectibles. Owner Tom Shea is one of New England's most prominent tournament organizers, and we're glad he took the time to talk with us about the regional Magic scene, the joys and challenges of organizing, and one remarkably clever tip for finding just the right venue.
TJ Collectibles got its start before Magic went on sale, opening in 1992 as a baseball card shop in the town of Milford. "Our original storefront was a little over 400 square feet," said Shea. "Today our facility is over 6000 square feet and we need more room!" For major events like StarCityGames.com Premier IQs – Shea will hold two in November alone – he rents an offsite venue.
Shea credits his relentless promotion, including advertisements in his dealer booth and social media such as his store's Facebook page, with making attendance at his offsite events grow. Venue choice matters too. "Look for venues that other organizers have used," said Shea. "Network with venues. Be respectful and direct on what your budget is for your event." If that doesn't work? "Ask the salesperson where they would look." It's a small, simple step that's given Shea great results.

Christine Electra Williamson (born October 28, 1995) is an American beauty pageant titleholder from Memphis, Tennessee, that has held the titles of Miss Tennessee (Miss America) 2018, Miss Tennessee (Miss Volunteer America) 2018, and America's Ideal Miss 2021. She holds a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Mississippi and a Master's in Business Administration and Certification in Data Analytics from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Williamson is a national advocate for Alzheimer's awareness.

Philanthropy
Williamson is a national advocate for Alzheimer's awareness and serves as a national ambassador for the Alzheimer's Association; as of 2018, she had raised more than $25,000 for the association. During her tenure as Miss Tennessee, she also served as the Tennessee Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and as Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam's Official Spokesperson for Character Education traveling over 80,000 miles speaking to 50,000 schoolchildren about Character Education.

Pageant career
Williamson competed at Miss Tennessee (Miss America) for five years before winning, holding the titles of Miss Memphis 2014, Miss Smoky Mountains 2015, Miss Mountain Empire 2016, Miss Scenic City 2017, and Miss Chattanooga 2018. She was crowned Miss Tennessee (Miss America) in 2018 after winning preliminary awards in swimsuit and talent (she sang "Never Enough" from the Greatest Showman for the talent competition). She represented Tennessee at Miss America 2019 and was named as a finalist for both the Quality of Life Award and Women in Business scholarships. Williamson has received around $50,000 in scholarships from competing in pageants.

Williamson resigned from her position as Miss Tennessee (Miss America) on May 10, 2019, claiming adverse circumstances, "blatant disregard" for her role as a titleholder, and an "ill-conceived" leadership transition after the state organization she was crowned by was terminated in September 2018.  The previous state organization, led by Allison Alderson Demarcus, was de-franchised by the Miss America organization after they, along with other Miss America state organizations, expressed displeasure with the Miss America organization's leadership and their treatment of titleholders. Demarcus' organization founded a new pageant, Miss Volunteer America, of which Williamson was the inaugural titleholder as the first Miss Tennessee Volunteer.

Williamson competed in Miss Tennessee USA 2021 and placed 2nd runner-up. Later that year, she was crowned the inaugural America's Ideal Miss.

Patients who call the main line, 847-382-6579, will likely receive an appointment that same day if there is an illness or problem which must be addressed immediately. If you are scheduling for a preventative physical, you will likely receive an appointment either that same day, or within a few days.
There are two primary care physicians who specialize in Family Medicine (treating patients of all ages and both sexes), Dr. James Wilcox and Dr. Orazio Bartolomeo. Also located in the building on various days of the week are Dr. Kadakia in Cardiology, Dr. Atia in Gastroenterology, and Dr. Kazmer in Podiatry.
Nearly all health plans are accepted. See our separate web page located on the home page for more information.
Are the doctors on any H.M.O. plans and what can I expect regarding referrals?
If you do not have an H.M.O. plan, this does not apply to you. Dr. Wilcox and Dr. Bartolomeo are part of H.M.O. Illinois, Blue Advantage H.M.O., Unicare H.M.O., Humana H.M.O., among others. For you to be a patient of Dr. Wilcox, your insurance card must say that you are assigned to either Advocate Good Shepherd or to Tri-County. In order to see Dr. Bartolomeo, your insurance card must say that you are assigned to either Advocate Good Shepherd or to Sherman Hospital. Call the 847-382-6579 for more details.
Regarding referrals for visits to specialists or to have tests done, a visit to your assigned primary care physician is absolutely necessary. Referrals cannot be arranged over the phone. Referrals will be given once the proper documentation in the chart is done and there has been a determination that the referral is medically necessary. These are the rules that are set up by your H.M.O. Please call the H.M.O. if you have any questions about this process.
Once it has been determined by your primary care doctor that the referral is necessary, a referral request will be placed by our office to your H.M.O. plan. It usually takes one week to obtain approval for the referral request. You will then be notified by our office that your referral was approved and you will be provided the name and number of the specialist who will be seeing you. Only after referrals are approved, should you make the appointment with the specialist.
I don't have insurance. Will I be accepted into the practice?
Yes! We will gladly discuss payment options and reduced fees for cash-paying patients at an appointment.
We accept cash, personal check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and debit cards.
What should I bring with me to my first appointment with the doctor?
Please bring your current insurance card to every appointment along with an accepted form of payment (see above question) for any co-pay or other fees. Our front desk will ask for information such as current address, all phone numbers, social security number, and a list of your family members. On your first appointment, the doctor will likely be asking you for a full medical history. It helps if you write some notes prior to the exam. Your notes should include any personal past medical history such as diabetes, asthma or cancers; surgical history such as appendix, gall bladder, c-section and joint surgery; a current list of all medications including dose in mg's and how often it is taken; allergies to medicines, the type of reaction you had and when; family illnesses in primary relatives such as mom, dad, sister and brother and how old they were when they were affected.
What should I do to prepare for an annual "head-to-toe" physical examination?
The preventative physical examination is very important because the primary care doctors will be screening for various health problems that may develop in the future. Preventative medicine is the key to living a long and healthy life. The preventative visit includes both a physical examination with the doctor and a wide array of important blood tests specific to each patient's situation (i.e. age, family history, etc.). The ideal arrangement is to have your blood drawn at a blood draw only appointment about two weeks prior to the appointment with the doctor for your full physical exam. This allows the doctor to go over all of your results with you at your appointment. If time does not allow for these two visits, the doctor may be able to perform the physical examination and blood draw in the same visit. Results will then be reported to the patient within a week. If there are abnormalities detected on the blood tests, a follow-up visit with the doctor may be necessary. In either case, the blood draw should be done on a fasting basis.
What does it mean when the doctor wants fasting blood tests?
There are many blood tests that the doctor will order which must be drawn on a fasting basis. The definition of fasting for a blood draw means nothing to eat for 12 hours, however, you may have water or one cup of BLACK coffee (no cream or sugar). In fact, the blood and urine tests are more accurate if you show up well hydrated. Drink ten, 8oz. glasses of water in the preceding 24 hours before your tests. The easiest way to fast for 12 hours is to set up an appointment for the blood draw earlier in the morning. Then if you have an appointment for the blood draw at 8:30am, you only need to fast after 8:30 pm the preceding night. After the draw you can eat a late breakfast.
Is there any difference between a D.O. and a M.D. physician?
There are very few differences between the two designations. Our physicians receive board certification in their respective specialty from the same governing body, the American Board of Family Medicine. For a description of the slight differences, click on the link below.

It seems like forever ago now, but just before returning to work full-time we spent a week in Cuba, where I lived out the kind of vacation I have always loathed and scorned: the all-inclusive resort.
Verdict: it wasn't so bad!
Now that our tans have faded and I've had time to reflect (and then some), I begrudgingly admit, although it will never be my preferred vacation plan, when it comes to travel with kids and actually relaxing in the sun (as much as you can, with kids), the tropical all-inclusive really fits the bill.
A lot of people have asked about traveling with the little, and in this case I think the key was combining the best hotel we could afford, and low expectations. A five-star resort in Cuba is not going to be the same as a five-star resort somewhere like New York or Paris or even elsewhere in the Caribbean. What you will get is a clean, safe property that is on the beach and well-maintained with enough food & beverage options and activities to keep you happy and entertained.
Book the best resort you can afford and one that advertises itself as family friendly. Normally I am all about finding a great deal on a place to rest my head, but when the accommodation is the destination, you'll appreciate doing your research and splurging a little.
Book the most sane flights you can afford. We realized quickly that the super-cheap all-inclusive package deals are super-cheap because they turn what can be a 6 hour daytime flight into a 15 hour red-eye adventure.
Book a ground-floor room. You miss out on a view, but end up not killing yourself hauling your kid and all his/her stuff up and down stairs, or waiting for elevators.
Plan to bring all the diapers (including swim-diapers), wipes, sunscreen and baby food (if your baby still only eats purees) you'll need for the amount of time you're gone. Our resort did end up having a small convenience shop with food and diapers for sale, but they were at a huge premium.
Bring a floatation device of some sort for your kiddo. Trying to hold them in the pool is exhausting, and the kiddy-pool does not have a swim-up bar.
Pack bottles/sippy-cups and any kid-sized utensils you might need. The resort had a ton of high-chairs, but we'd have been totally hooped without Isaac's usual drinking cup.
Try everything at the buffet the first day. It doesn't change much, and your palate will be bored stiff by day 4. The food is mass-made and seasoned for the lowest-common-denominator. It's not bad, just boring. Plan accordingly.
Drive yourself crazy trying to keep your kid on a balanced diet. It's vacation and time to let loose. Isaac was just shy of 1-year-old when we went, and though he loves veggies and generally eats a varied diet, he decided on this trip he would like nothing but bread and applesauce. In the interest of not being those people with the shrieking baby, we just went with it. I don't think he's any worse for wear. He went right back to eating normally at home.
Feel bad if you are "missing out" on all the activities on offer at the resort. We did exactly one of the non-motorized watersports (a catamaran ride), I participated in one aqua fit class, and we saw part of one of the evening cabaret shows. We also took the bus into Varadero for an unremarkable hour to see the small town and buy some souvenirs. It wasn't exactly a "Cuban Cultural Extravaganza." But we did spend the week swimming and napping and eating and drinking and relaxing. Which was the entire point.
Overall, if you are usually an "adventurous" traveler and enjoy immersing yourself in culture and experience, the All-Inclusive is really not for you.
But if you find yourself avec les enfants, want to sit for a week and turn your brain off in the sunshine, book the best all-inclusive you can afford and enjoy. I won't judge.
p.s. Isaac was too young for the kid's club, and we never felt so burdened by him that we wanted to take advantage of the available babysitting, but I can see kids and teens clubs being a huge draw as Isaac gets older.

The Morgan brothers, from left Cecil, Leslie, Weldon and Ernest.
This family portrait shows Mr and Mrs W J Morgan of 11 Robb Street, Essendon, with their four sons who enlisted in the AIF. The AWM catalogue dates the photo at circa June 1915, but there is a problem with that date. Two of the brothers enlisted and departed in 1914, another in 1915, and the fourth in 1916. In June 1915 at least one of the brothers was not yet in uniform. It can't have been taken after the war, because one of the brothers, Weldon, did not return. So when did the opportunity arise for this gathering?
Reports in Melbourne newspapers reveal that the Morgan parents had made a trip to England, returning in December 1917.
"Mr. W. J. Morgan, of Cadbury Bros. Limited, who is shortly leaving for London, was the guest of the Victorian Confectionary Importers' Association at a special meeting yesterday. On behalf of the members, Mr. A. D. Price presented Mr. Morgan with a letter, signed by all the members, expressing their appreciation of his services and their goodwill, also a smoker's outfit. Mr. Morgan has four sons fighting at the front, and he and Mrs. Morgan are leaving for London to be near them".
The Argus 31 March 1917 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1607569
"Mr. and Mrs. W J. Morgan, of 11 Robb street, Essendon, have recently returned from England, where they met their four sons, who are on active service. Since arriving in Australia they received advice that their youngest son, Ernest of the 7th Battalion, had been wounded on October 4th. He is improving. They have just learned that Private Leslie Morgan, of the 8th Battalion, is being returned, and will probably arrive by the end of the year. The other two brothers are with the forces in France".
The Essendon Gazette, 20 Dec 1917 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article74604664
Looking at the brothers' service records, there seems to have been a very brief window of opportunity for this reunion to have taken place, when all of the brothers were in England - between 30 June 1917 and 4 July 1917. All of them were in the vicinity of London. On 5 July Weldon Morgan proceeded overseas to France, and was killed in action on 4 October 1917. It was not until the end of December that the authorities advised his next of kin of his death, so that when the news item appeared, his parents had not yet been told that Weldon was killed on the same date as his brother Ernest was wounded.
While it seems incredible that civilians were making their way to the UK to pay visits to relatives in the face of hostile events at sea, it appears that they did. They departed on passenger vessels whose departure dates were listed in the daily metropolitan newspapers.

Howard Hawks remakes one of his own films, Ball of Fire, this time around featuring Danny Kaye as the square professor and Virginia Mayo as the conniving nightclub singer working him over. She needs to hide out for a few days while her boyfriend, gangster Tony Crow, flees from the cops, eventually finding her way to a house of music professors. Originally written by Billy Wilder, Ball of Fire is superior, but Kaye and Mayo make for a good time. Hawks reins in Kaye's performance a bit, and it works well for the film. The best part about A Song is Born is the bevvy of cameos from music's biggest stars of the day: Louis Armstrong, the Dorsey brothers, Benny Carter, Lionel Hampton, and others.

Convincing voters to forgo Apple's €13bn will not be easy
The Government will fall if the Independent Alliance cannot agree to appeal the decision
Tue, Aug 30, 2016, 20:20 Updated: Tue, Aug 30, 2016, 20:35

The number caught everyone by surprise. The announcement by the European Commission on Tuesday that Apple owes Ireland €13 billion in back taxes (plus interest) astonished the waiting political world, prepped on recent rumours to expect a not-gargantuan sum.
It is not clear whether the rumours were spin or spoof; either way they were wrong. The commission didn't pussyfoot around – it went the whole hog.
A finding that Ireland gave Apple a special deal on its taxes was entirely expected, but dealing with a potential windfall of that magnitude changed the anticipated context immediately.
At least one Minister, to the direct knowledge of The Irish Times, met the news with a loud expletive. The number also greatly complicated the politics.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has long since said the Government would appeal an adverse finding by the commission on Apple's tax arrangements. That was one thing when everyone thought the bill would be a few hundred million, or – at most – a few billion euro.
But the prospect of a windfall of €13 billion was another matter. Suddenly launching a major legal and political initiative with the intention of rejecting the money was a less straightforward narrative. Shortly after Ireland had to explain the "leprechaun economics" of a 25 per cent growth in GDP to the world, now it had to explain why it was strenuously seeking to avoid the largest tax windfall in history. More than one commentator liked it to winning the lottery and not bothering to pick up the winnings.
The Apple tax ruling
The EC issued a ruling on August 30th in relation to the tax arrangements of Apple in Ireland, where it has its European HQ. The EC said Apple had been granted selective treatment by Ireland through two tax rulings in 1991 and 2007. The EC has ordered Ireland to recover up to €13 billion from the tech giant.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan indicated Ireland would appeal the decision "to defend the integrity of our tax system; to provide tax certainty to business; and to challenge the encroachment of EU state aid rules into the sovereign member state competence of taxation".
Q&A: Cliff Taylor answers the key questions
I found this helpful Yes No
The Independent Alliance went into conclave, conspicuously unable to agree with Fine Gael's intention to appeal. If the Alliance cannot agree to the appeal at this morning's Cabinet meeting, then this Government is probably over, sooner rather than later. If they can't agree this, you wouldn't give them much chance of agreeing a budget, and a government that can't budget can't govern.
Predictable
People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett raged that the"entire political establishment have colluded over many years with Apple in an act of economic treason to rob the Irish public of €13 billion or more in desperately needed cash for public housing, the health service and other vital public services."
Sinn Féin has been waiting with some relish for the EU verdict and leaped into action. "Give us back our money," demanded MEP Matt Carthy. For good measure, Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty also called for a public inquiry into Apple's tax arrangements.
The best can be said of all this is that at least the people doing it know its just political grandstanding. Well, this is one of the luxuries of Opposition.
For all that, even a cursory reading of the commission's findings demonstrate that it is clear that Apple – like other multinationals presumably – has constructed a series of contrived structures designed to pay as little tax as possible. All the tech giant's platitudes about paying the tax it owes are simply public relations guff. They are not meant to be taken seriously except by the gullible. The point at issue is not whether Apple has these structures, it is whether they constituted illegal State aid or not. That will now be decided in the European courts.
But the sort of hocus pocus that allows Apple to pay – by the commission's calculations – less than 1 per cent tax on its global profits is under growing scrutiny everywhere. It is increasingly one of the great political issues of the age, even if it is confined to the margins of political debate in Ireland by the national shibboleth of the 12.5 per cent corporation tax rate.
The OECD's base erosion and profit shifting process is designed to produce international consensus on reducing tax avoidance, but it moves slowly, as such process inevitably do. It is likely that corporations will pay more tax in the future. How and where is another matter.
Nonetheless, it may be that the commission has bitten off more than it can chew with this one. It's hard to argue with Apple's summary that it is now being "being ordered to retroactively pay additional taxes to a government that says we don't owe them any more than we've already paid".
It certainly seems like an extension of the commission's powers into the realm of taxation, which the member states of the EU have repeatedly declined to grant.
The furious debate thrown up by the decision exposes again one of the principal fault lines of Irish politics – between the (roughly) two-thirds of voters who vote for mainstream, centrist parties and Independents, who feel they have a stake in the country and its prosperity on the one hand, and those who vote for parties of the radical left, anti-establishment Independents and Sinn Féin on the other, who feel the State often conspires against them, and that politics ignores those like them. Political debate is between these two sides; but political and electoral competition is more usually within them.
But Tuesday's ruling also exposes another cleavage, too. It forces the State to choose between two of the pillars of its policies for the past 40 years: loyalty to the EU institutions and openness to multinational investors. That these choices are now forced upon an Irish Government shows how much the world has changed. There are no reasons to expect that process is at an end.

Post-coronavirus Offices- Preventing the Spread of Future Diseases
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has changed many aspects of the current workplace, and soon, employers should begin planning for what their post-coronavirus office will look like. Previously, social distancing and COVID-19-related best practices hadn't been a topic on the mind of most employers or employees. By updating office layouts, encouraging new behaviours and expanding remote work options, employers can help prevent the spread of future diseases, and protect the health and safety of employees.
Physical Changes to Workplaces
As employers prepare for employees who will be returning to the office, organisations can consider the following best practices for their office space:
Increasing each employee's personal space, and ensuring desks are at least 2 metres apart
Creating walls and barriers between cubicles
Creating a walk-traffic flow that discourages congestion
Updating air-filtration systems
Installing automatic doors
Installing UV lighting systems
Installing no-touch soap dispensers and sinks in bathrooms
Making hand sanitiser and cleaning products readily available
While updating practices to best prevent the spread of illnesses will also require changes in behaviour, employers can take a step in the right direction by ensuring their physical office space is aligned with encouraged behaviours of employees.
Behavioural Changes
While every business is different, there are practices many organisations can implement and behaviours they can encourage. Common post-coronavirus adjustments may include:
Create expectations for handwashing. According to Public Health England (PHE), one way to prevent the spread of coronaviruses is washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Encourage employees to do so often, and consider creating policies to reinforce this behaviour.
Ban or discourage shaking of hands. While shaking hands is an instinct in many cases, this practice can spread germs, diseases and illnesses at an expedited rate.
Increase cleaning schedules. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), COVID-19 may be able to persist on surfaces for as long as several days, creating a potential risk of transmission. Review how cleaning schedules can be more frequent and thorough.
Adjust meeting practices. Encourage limited amounts of participants in meetings, and advise them to spread out and avoid sharing multi-touch devices.
Technology Considerations for Employers
Beyond updating office layouts and encouraging virus-resistant practices, some employers are considering how the use of technology can aid in efforts to prevent the spread of diseases. Some organisations are tracking employees' distances through mobile phones or other devices, and even screening employees and guests for high body temperatures. Employers can also consider installing or expanding the use of hands-free voice assistants, such as Amazon, Google or Apple devices, with the intent of reducing the use of shared technology surfaces used by multiple employees. While not all of these changes will make sense or be feasible for all organisations, employers can consider how updated business practices can encourage social distancing and reduce the touching of shared surfaces—both during and even after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Expanding Telecommuting Options
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in April 2020, 49.2 per cent of employed adults were working from home as a result of the pandemic. While the feasibility of remote work varies depending on an employee's job responsibilities, expanding remote work options offers other benefits as well. These additional benefits can include:
Increased flexibility
Reduced greenhouse emissions
The ability to tap into a broader talent pool
Fewer opportunities for diseases such as coronaviruses to spread
Notably, by expanding remote opportunities post-coronavirus, employers can reduce the amount of human interaction that takes place at a physical location. Also, by allowing remote work, employees who are sick are less likely to physically attend the office. Best practices for expanding remote work include creating outlined company-wide remote practices, rather than leaving remote work approval requests up to the subjective opinion of a manager. As employers consider how they can best create remote work policies, many considerations factor into the equation.
Preparing for Future Pandemics
Even after reopening, health experts warn that businesses should also be prepared for future pandemics. Additional waves of COVID-19 could re-emerge in the near future, and employers should create plans that account for partial or full closings of office locations.
Prepare Your Post-coronavirus Office
As employers plan for how to operate post-coronavirus, creating preventive best practices can set up organisations for success. While the easy return-to-work procedure will be to fall back on existing practices, the COVID-19 pandemic allows an opportunity for organisations to consider how creating an updated workplace with virus-resistant practices, as well as expanding remote work opportunities can prepare them for future pandemics.
As employees re-enter the job market, post-coronavirus practices will be top of mind. By being proactive and establishing appropriate measures and practices, employers can not only help prevent the spreading of diseases—but put employees at ease, knowing that necessary steps are being taken to ensure the health and safety of those who will be spending time at the office.
As laws and guidelines related to COVID-19 change, employers should consult with legal counsel when updating or changing policies. As you navigate through reopening your office locations, contact us for additional COVID-19 resources.

Q: Duplication with OpenXML (word document) and ID issues Is it possible to duplicate a word document element with OpenXML without having any issues of "duplicate id" ?
Actually, to duplicate, I clone the elements inside the body and append the cloned elements in the body. But if any of the element have an ID, I'm having errors when I open the document in word.
Here is an example of error from OpenXML validator :

*

*[60] Description="Attribute 'id' should have unique value. Its
current value 'Rectangle 11' duplicates with
others."

And here is my code :
        Document document = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document;
        Body body = document.Body;
        IEnumerable<OpenXmlElement> elements = ((Body)body.CloneNode(true)).Elements();

        foreach (var element in elements)
        {
            OpenXmlElement e = (OpenXmlElement)element.CloneNode(true);

            body.AppendChild(e);
        }

A: You can't just copy elements with an id, you have to duplicate Parts too (search OpenXmlPart for more informations).
You can do this by combining functions AddPart() and GetIdOfPart() (accessible from MainDocumentPart)
First try:
when you have an element with an id, use AddPart(OpenXmlPart part) to add the element part and retrieve the new generated id of the part with GetIdOfPart(OpenXmlPart part)
After that, you can replace in your cloned OpenXmlElement the id by the new one
Second try:
or you could imagine an other way like:

*

*Check highest id of existing parts (and save it)

*Clone all parts from the start and choose yourself the id (by adding the highest saved id)

*When you copy each element and find an id, add the saved highest id to match with the new part

I hope one of this way will help you, but in any case you will need to clone parts

A: DocIO is a .NET class library that can read, write and render Microsoft Word documents. Using DocIO, you can clone the elements such as paragraph, table, text run or the entire document and append it where you need.
The whole suite of controls is available for free (commercial applications also) through the community license program if you qualify. The community license is the full product with no limitations or watermarks.
Herewith we have a given simple example code snippet which clone all the paragraphs and tables in the document body and append them at the end of the same document.
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

namespace DocIO_Clone
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(@"InputWordFile.docx"))
        {
            int sectionCount = document.Sections.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < sectionCount; i++)
            {
                IWSection section = document.Sections[i];
                int entityCount = section.Body.ChildEntities.Count;
                for (int j = 0; j < entityCount; j++)
                {
                    IEntity entity = section.Body.ChildEntities[j];
                    switch(entity.EntityType)
                    {
                        case EntityType.Paragraph:
                            IWParagraph paragraph = entity.Clone() as IWParagraph;
                            document.LastSection.Body.ChildEntities.Add(paragraph);
                            break;
                        case EntityType.Table:
                            IWTable table = entity.Clone() as IWTable;
                            document.LastSection.Body.ChildEntities.Add(table);
                            break;

                    }
                }
            }
            document.Save("ResultDocument.docx");
        }
    }
}
}

Pets are great, right? They're there to provide companionship, guard your house, and to give you the sad eyes until you hand over some food off your plate. In addition to keeping your place burglar and insect free, a pet can also be a great icebreaker when chatting up women. Being willing to talk about your little furry friends gives you an air of friendliness and sensitivity that will charm any lady, and being willing to listen to her talk about her own pets will definitely win you some points.
Fair warning before you read on, if you don't already have a pet, don't buy one just because you think it'll make women want to hop in bed with you. That's unfair to whatever poor animal you choose, and irresponsible as hell. Fido didn't sign up to be your wingman, after all.
Of course, the first step is finding a woman who's interested. It's considerably easier to pick out women with pet interests on dating and hookup sites, since it's probably all laid out on her profile. But offline, you'll find plenty of places to scout out interesting ladies.
Like dogs? Try heading over to your local dog park with your dog in tow. Be careful when approaching women here, since it can be a real mood-breaker if your or her dog decides that they're more interested in trying to rip out each other's throat. Just ask if it's alright for you to introduce your dog to hers, and then strike up a conversation from there. Even if you don't have a dog, you might consider borrowing the dog of a friend or family member to take a walk here. It's not dishonest if you just say that you're dog-sitting as a favor, and you can get her talking about how you'd love to have a canine of your own someday.
If you're more of a cat person, it can be more difficult to find ladies with the same interests offline. Until someone opens up a cat park, you might try window-shopping in the cat supply section of local pet stores. In general, it tends to be easier to pick out cat people on dating sites or on online forums. The Internet does love its cats.
If you're interested in more exotic pets like snakes, lizards, birds, and so on, it's a similar deal as with cats. You can luck out at specialty pet stores, but you're probably better off looking online.
You've found her, now what? Just do what comes naturally, and chat about your shared interest in animals. Talk about how you first got your pet, how you love to take them on jogs, that funny story about how they once wrecked your bathroom while you were out. You want to come across as someone who really loves their animal, not someone who's just using them as walking, barking bait for potential dates. Especially if you're talking to a lady who's interested in exotics, you really want to know your stuff about habitats, feeding, and so on. If you try to bluff your way through conversations, you'll come across as clueless at best, and careless about your animal's health at worst.

Help African American families benefit from sustainable forestry
SFLR capitalizes on innovative partnerships between supporters like you and local, state, and federal organizations to assist Black family landowners. The network provides a variety of support to these Black landowners, including access to legal assistance and opportunities to benefit from sustainable forestry.
Sustainable forestry offers an opportunity to keep forests as forests while generating sustainable income. The estimated $14 billion value of African American-owned rural land is an important source of rural wealth that plays a valuable role in the economic sustainability of individual families and rural communities in the U.S. South.
Help SFLR rise to the challenge
African Americans have faced challenges linked to smaller land holdings as land is passed between generations. Understanding heirs' property or "tangled title" is critical to working with underserved communities. These forests may also risk becoming an estate tax liability, rather than an asset.
Consider providing financial support to the SFLR network and be part of a new, positive story about African American family forest owners. Together, we can collaborate with African American families to write the next chapter for these landowners as they build their family legacies. Your contribution will help support legal assistance, sustainable forestry guidance, network communications, and ultimately justice for Black landowners in the U.S. South.
Contact us to learn how your organization can make a difference
We are committed to collaborating with African American family forest owners to build better lives for themselves and their communities. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to build a brighter future across the Southeast.

Whether as mere observers or active participants, for some time we've been swept along by currents which give education centre stage in contemporary art. Interventions of all types, in universities, museums or art centres, or organised by the artists themselves — ranging from workshops, seminars and other offerings — explore and assess art's education potential. At times, education is little more than a fashionable thematic resource, its transformative capacity neutralised by the inertia of methods of representation that align with its image, without ever embodying the very aspects of education which are extolled.
We believe that art is a tool for knowledge. It teaches us something in a specific way. Just showing up to an artistic event is educational in itself, beyond any explicitly pedagogical intentions, themes or content.
That said, we recognise that artistic practice is difficult to transmit. Art resists systematisation, and we're faced with an abundance of worn-out models from past eras, and the expectation and drive for profits, all of which are miles away from the practice in itself.
In any case, the question is this: why is education becoming part of the story at this precise moment in time? Is education just another element or a truly intrinsic consideration in artistic practice? What is it a symptom of?
During the conference, we'll seek answers to these questions by studying and discussing teaching experiences which put the spotlight on transmitting art, specifically artistic practice.
