All Featured Schools and Programs
In the US, a whole industry has arisen focused on the ranking of universities and colleges. While there is no specific ranking of undergraduate theatre schools, national and international organizations such as US News & World Report, The Princeton Review, The Washington Monthly and the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) based in Shanghai, China, regularly publish general rankings designed to identify the "best" graduate and undergraduate schools and programs according to quality and value. Less "official" rankings can also be found in resources like StudentsReview, Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges, and Community College Week. Some professional associations have reports from student surveys about various schools and programs which provide still more school or program "rankings." Other associations--for example the American Alliance for Theatre Education-- offer awards and honors for teaching excellence, and looking at who they have honored can also be used to supplement your 'ranking' of schools. Each of these sources, however, uses its own particular set of criteria for evaluating schools and programs. In the case of the controversial Gourman Report (which ranks all undergraduate programs), the author specifically refuses to disclose his methodology. How then should all these rankings be interpreted? First, the ranking reports often come with detailed data to support conclusions, and while data collection may be criticized, the editors of these reports usually make an effort to ensure that statistics are comparable. So the reports can be used by you to compare institutions and schools on the basis of the data provided. Second, the statistics that come from the rankings can also suggest topics that need to be studied in more detail. For instance, if a school has a low acceptance rate but also a low graduation rate, you may want to ask why. All university and college rankings have one other thing in common: they are a list of institutions and schools. Scanning the list might suggest a theatre school that you had not considered or perhaps even heard of. Used this way, the rankings can help expand your list of schools that can then be researched in more detail.
However, you should never judge based on rankings alone. Theatre school rankings are important, but there may be other factors that need to be taken into consideration. Schools that are less prominent may have a program that might suit your needs better than any nationally ranked schools. Lesser known regional universities and colleges may also be a wise choice if you wish to remain close to home during your studies. Often times, these schools may have the strongest relationships with local companies and employers. Once you have accumulated this information, you could be able to create your own theatre school rankings.

Complaints about police soar to 1k
Published: 14:11 Updated: 14:35 Tuesday 03 February 2015
Complaints against West Yorkshire Police rose to 1,000 in 2013/14.
New Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)stats show the 24 per cent surge compares to the 15 per cent rise in England and Wales for this period.
In the previous year, complaints recorded by the force had fallen two per cent.
Overall, 1,707 allegations were made against West Yorkshire Police. Per 1,000 employees, the force recorded 185 allegations compared to 251 in England and Wales.
Det Chief Supt Clive Wain, of West Yorkshire Police's professional standards department, said West Yorkshire Police treat all complaints "extremely seriously" and work hard to ensure each matter is investigated professionally and in good time.
He added that much of the increase is due to new recording measures meaning complaints can be made against operational policing decisions as well as the officer conduct.
"It is pertinent to note that we have the lowest rate of complaints per 1,000 officers of any of the larger police forces across the country," he said.
"This demonstrates the professionalism of officers and that our ongoing work around the national Code of Ethics is continuing to improve standards to a point where we stand out nationally."
Through the IPCC, people can appeal about the way in which a force has handled their initial complaint.
Fifty-one per cent of appeals from the public against West Yorkshire Police were upheld by the IPCC – 26 percent were upheld by the force itself. The overall uphold rate by forces in England and Wales is 20 per cent, compared with 46 per cent by the IPCC.
The IPCC upheld 23 of 35 (66 per cent) appeals where people were unhappy that West Yorkshire Police had not recorded their complaint, and nearly half (46 per cent)of 102 appeals from people displeased with the force's investigation into their complaint.

TSA sets record for confiscated firearms: Here's which airports fared the worst
Ted Shaffrey/AP
FILE - A sign warns travelers not to bring guns through the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Fla., April 23, 2022.
The Transportation Security Administration announced Tuesday that it set a new record for firearm interceptions in 2022.
The agency reported that it confiscated 6,542 firearms in 2022. That's an increase of more than 500 firearms in 2021.
"I am incredibly proud of our dedicated TSA employees who perform the critical task of securing our nation's transportation systems each day," said TSA Administrator David Pekoske.
There were 448 firearm confiscations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2022, the most of any airport in the country. It was followed by Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Passengers are allowed to travel with unloaded firearms, but they must be packed in checked baggage.
"The case with the firearm should be brought to the airline check-in counter to be declared with the airline representative," the TSA states.
Individuals who bring weapons to TSA checkpoints could face a fine of up to $15,000.


I guess, this pretty sums up the event dubbed as "Taste of Little Italy" last weekend at College Street where Italian thoroughfares (read: food) were abundant in every nooks and carts. A friend and I went there for their gelato–nothing more, nothing less–for such a hot weather. We strolled down the street and stopped by for some music and oggled at the men and women who were seriously watching the Euro Cup 2012 at a tent outside my favorite cafe in College Street, Cafe Adriatico.


As one of the world's top food importers, rising food prices have hit Senegal hard, and the country has seen protests and riots as food has become increasingly unaffordable. The government has responded with an ambitious national strategy to become food self-sufficient by 2015 but, faced with enduring problems of drought and poor soils, increasing production sustainably will be a considerable challenge.
Agriculture employs around 75 per cent of the working population and comprises 17 per cent of GDP. Groundnuts, cotton, gum arabic and sugarcane are the primary cash crops. Millet, corn, sorghum and rice are the main food crops. With groundnut production accounting for 40 per cent of cultivated land and cotton production another 33 per cent, cash crops dominate agriculture.
Until recently most government subsidies and agricultural extension services were directed to groundnut production. Decreasing yields due to environmental degradation and fluctuating world prices have encouraged attempts to increase domestic production of staple food crops such as rice, millet and sorghum. President Abdoulaye Wade has promoted diversification to end the "tyranny of mono-cropping", reducing dependence on groundnuts.
However, Senegal is still a net importer of food and is the second largest importer of rice in Africa, buying in 850,000 tonnes in 2005. A further 300,000 tonnes of wheat and 200,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables were also purchased from abroad in the same year.
Poultry production is relatively common amongst the rural population, and raising cattle, sheep and goats is the primary activity for pastoralists. Pastoralists in the northern regions are generally nomadic; located in the arid Sahel they are faced with shortages of pasture and watering points. Most pastoralists participate only marginally in the export of meat, although UEMOA and PPLPI are currently attempting to increase domestic and intra-regional livestock trade through trade liberalisation and improving access to veterinary services.
The vast majority of crops are rain-fed, making water availability one of the country's biggest agricultural challenges. Successive droughts and occasional flooding have also led to declining yields as soils have become degraded and eroded. Despite having the potential to irrigate up to 240,000 hectares, at present the country irrigates only one-third of this area.
The Manantali and Diama dams, built in the 1980s, were designed to reduce the risk of flooding, store water in the rainy season, aid irrigation in the dry season and potentially enable double cropping. However, construction of the dams reduced the productivity of the floodplains, adversely affecting flood-recession or draw-down farming.
Whilst still important to the economy, groundnut production has reduced soil fertility to an extent that farmers are moving further inland as they look for new land for cultivation. Combined with a quadrupling of the population in the last 50 years, the increasing demand for land and fuel woods has contributed to deforestation. According to the World Bank, 450 square kilometres of forest is lost annually, predominantly for agricultural purposes.
Meanwhile, the fishing sector represents one of the largest sources of national revenue, accounting for 22 per cent of all exports and generating US$366 million in 2005. And the fishing sector has become increasingly valuable, generating income both through exports and the sale of fishing rights to foreign countries, particularly the EU. However, foreign vessels have contributed to overfishing and an increase in harmful practices such as dynamite fishing and bottom trawling. The inevitable collapse of fish stocks has now made an important source of dietary protein increasingly unaffordable for the poor.
The county's new strategy is the Great Agricultural Offensive for Food and Abundance (GOANA), which aims to dramatically increase production of staple crops by 2015. Plans include the conversion of unused land to agriculture, which President Wade has said could result in the country producing two million tonnes of corn, three million tonnes of manioc and 500,000 tonnes of maize each year. Other measures include increasing irrigation and encouraging foreign investment.
Frustrations caused by the current food price crisis have been clear as President Wade recently criticised FAO for treating Africa "like beggars". While plans are in motion to rapidly increase production in order to reduce import dependence, ecological problems and mismanagement of natural resources pose significant constraints. Faced with falling fish stocks, poor soils, deforestation, desertification and declining annual rainfall, careful management of the environment will be crucial in order to achieve GOANA's ambitious plans. With world food prices continuing to rise it is likely that the situation will get worse before it gets better.


Losing a loved one is never easy. Indeed, the sorrow, grief and pain we feel can be overwhelming. At such a difficult time, the funeral service is a very important way to remember and pay tribute to the life of a loved one and a dignified way to say goodbye.
At Oak Ridge Funeral Care, this is a responsibility we undertake with courtesy, care and professionalism. Our family has been in the funeral care business since 1933 and through our tireless dedication to the community, we have established a reputation for providing families with a very personalized and compassionate service. We have been recognized, time and again, for helping to create meaningful funeral and memorial services.
The right setting can add to comfort. Simple elegance softly whispers for attention at Oak Ridge Funeral Care, subtly encouraging an easy, hospitable atmosphere for family togetherness. Classic highlights add beauty to a home. The design and decor of our facilities is the result of much thought. Fine styling is a way to make our establishment more accommodating, thus maximizing family convenience.
We strongly believe that personal service and innovation are of paramount importance, whether we are sitting with you in our office, or communicating with you electronically. You will find that we are not your stereotypical funeral directors.

Q: Filter dataframe based on difference been two series, one mapped via dictionary I have my dictionary
d = {'A':1, 'B':2, 'C':3}

and my dataframe
df =pd.DataFrame({
"col1": ["A", "B", "C"],
"col2": [1, 2, 3],
"col3": [2, 1, 4] })

I search to compare each value in df with the correspondant value in the dictionary. If it matches the value is kept, otherwise the value is drop.
I try
m = df['col2'] >= d[df['col1']]
df.where(m, df, other = "")

But it get this error code for m: TypeError: 'Series' objects are mutable, thus they cannot be hashed...
Thank you for your help.

A: Create a new column for comparison using apply
df['dict_col'] = df['col1'].apply(lambda k: d[k])

m = df['dict_col'] >= df['col2']

df['col2'] = df['col2'].where(m, df, other = "")

A: You can use pd.Series.map with loc and Boolean indexing:
df = df.loc[df['col2'] >= df['col1'].map(d)]

A: Hint is there in error message itself.

TypeError: 'Series' objects are mutable, thus they cannot be hashed.

df['col1'] is a Series object, which is a mutable object.
Mutable objects cannot be hashed and hence cannot be used as a dictionary key. From docs:

... dictionaries are indexed by keys, which can be any immutable type; strings and numbers can always be keys...

You are using Series object as dictionary key. One way to rewrite d[df['col1']] is:
[d[x] for x in df['col1']]

Pace Yourself This Holiday Season: Tips for Going the Distance
Written by Chronicle Staff. Posted in Business
Published on December 08, 2021 with No Comments
By Caroline-Dowd-Higgins, author "This Is Not the Career I Ordered
Over the past few years, a holiday creep has overtaken the days of autumn. The holiday roll-out in the U.S. has gotten earlier and earlier and with Thanksgiving behind us, it's easy to become stressed about completing all the tasks required at work and in your personal life to enjoy the festive season.
Here are 5 tips to help you go the holiday distance:
Get Adequate Sleep. We hear it over and over again, but sleep really is the most basic of all the building blocks for mental and physical wellbeing. So many of us are moving through the world in a chronically sleep-deprived state which affects everything from cognitive ability, to weight gain, to social/emotional intelligence and mood. After hitting the proverbial wall due to burning the candle at both ends, I made a pact with myself to get eight hours of sleep every night, and it has served me well. It can do the same for you – especially during this last month of the year.
Detach from screens. You may laugh out loud reading this tip, but the more you can live in the moment and away from a screen the better! There is no question that screen time can leech away feelings of wellbeing – especially when guilt starts creeping in because it's keeping you up too late, or taking time away from your family. I'm making a conscious effort to avoid the "screen abyss," and to do life in more unplugged fashion whenever I can. I challenge you to do the same this holiday season. Doing a digital detox is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.
Be open to receiving as well as giving. Tis the season to want to give and give, and then give some more, however, if we're only open to giving rather than receiving, it can actually serve to block the flow of abundance into our lives, according to Amanda Owen, author of The Power of Receiving. Owen says it's important to have balance between the two – that giving as well as graciously receiving gifts, compliments, etc. keep our channel of abundance open to new experiences and much joy.
Know your "No"… And don't be afraid to use it.
Let go of "Perfect"! Juggling the demands of work, family, and all of the decorating, shopping, socializing, donating, baking, gift-wrapping, card-sending, and all around merry-making that the holidays bring… can drive a person to be very UN-merry…and even more so if you have perfectionist tendencies. Allow yourself to forget "perfect" this holiday season. Be brave instead and do your best to embrace simplicity and a feeling of contentment. Remember that "good enough" is often just that – good enough!
We owe it to ourselves to practice radical self-care, set strong boundaries and approach it all as a marathon rather than a sprint. I encourage you to stick a note on the frig, or your work desk reminding you that "Slow and steady wins the race!" this holiday season.

990	 CVE-2018-18251 89 Exec Code Sql Bypass 2019-04-24 2019-05-02
Deltek Vision 7.x before 7.6 permits the execution of any attacker supplied SQL statement through a custom RPC over HTTP protocol. The Vision system relies on the client binary to enforce security rules and integrity of SQL statements and other content being sent to the server. Client HTTP calls can be manipulated by one of several means to execute arbitrary SQL statements (similar to SQLi) or possibly have unspecified other impact via this custom protocol. To perform these attacks an authenticated session is first required. In some cases client calls are obfuscated by encryption, which can be bypassed due to hard-coded keys and an insecure key rotation protocol. Impacts may include remote code execution in some deployments; however, the vendor states that this cannot occur when the installation documentation is heeded.
Icinga Web 2 before 2.6.2 allows injection of PHP ini-file directives via vectors involving environment variables as the channel to send information to the attacker, such as a name=${PATH}_${APACHE_RUN_DIR}_${APACHE_RUN_USER} parameter to /icingaweb2/navigation/add or /icingaweb2/dashboard/new-dashlet.
youke365 v1.1.5 has SQL injection via admin/login.html, as demonstrated by username=admin&pass=123456&code=9823&act=login&submit=%E7%99%BB+%E9%99%86.
Pippo through 1.11.0 allows remote code execution via a command to java.lang.ProcessBuilder because the XstreamEngine component does not use XStream's available protection mechanisms to restrict unmarshalling.
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.3, the Steam IHS Discovery dissector could consume system memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-steam-ihs-discovery.c by changing the memory-management approach.
There is a SQL injection in Benutzerverwaltung in REDAXO before 5.6.4.
An issue was discovered in libgig 4.1.0. There is an operator new[] failure (due to a big pSampleLoops heap request) in DLS::Sampler::Sampler in DLS.cpp.
An issue was discovered in DuomiCMS 3.0. SQL injection exists in the ajax.php file, as demonstrated by the uid parameter.
An issue was discovered in DuomiCMS 3.0. Remote PHP code execution is possible via the search.php searchword parameter because "eval" is used during "if" processing.
WikidForum 2.20 has SQL Injection via the rpc.php parent_post_id or num_records parameter, or the index.php?action=search select_sort parameter.

An issue was discovered in Daimler Mercedes-Benz COMAND 17/13.0 50.12 on Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2018 vehicles. Defining or receiving a specific navigation route might cause the system to freeze and reboot after a few transmissions. When the system next starts, it tries to re-calculate the route, which will cause a boot loop. (Under certain circumstances, it is possible to quickly overwrite the malicious route to regain the stability of the system.)

That's some serious automotive bling.
Eddie makes that car look better.
On one of our trips to the West Coast we did a bit of sightseeing in IN. We first went to Marion, where I was born and then headed South to INDY. I always wanted to go the the 500 and figured if we were close to the track, we should at least go there. As I drove into the grounds, I saw a sign that said something like "take a ride around the famous Brickyard". I followed the arrows and signs and ended up on the track driving my 67 Volvo 122S with about 250,000 miles on it. Didn't get too far before some officials pulled us over and said that I misinterpreted the signs. You had to pay for a ride around the track. Went to the museum instead. Your pictures are great.
GIL: That's a GREAT story! We went on the track tour - which is essentially a narrated bus ride around the track. It was cool, though. My friend Marlaina, her husband, and our friend Gary were there this summer for Vespamerica - they got to ride their Vespa around the track before they sold it! Very neat. I got so many pictures, I had to choose the ones I thought were the best. Thanks for the compliment!

Q: Kubernetes best practices in pods As I have been using kubernetes more I keep on seeing the reference that a pod can contain 1 container or more and I have even looked at examples.
My question is whether there is a case where this would be best practice and more efficient to create multi container pods since you can scale and replicate your pods coupling it with a service.
Thanks in advance

A: A Pod can contain multiple containers, but for the most portion of the situations, it makes perfect sense for the Pod to be simply an abstraction over a single running container.
In what situations does it make sense to have a multi-container deployed Pod?
What comes to my mind are the scenarios where you have a primary Pod running, but you need to tightly couple helper processes, such as a log watcher. In those situations, it makes perfect sense to actually have multiple containers running inside a single pod.
Another big example that comes to my mind is from the Istio project, which is a platform made to connect, manage and secure microservices and is generally referred as a Service Mesh.
A huge part of what it does and is able to accomplish to provide a greater control and customization over the deployed microservices network, is due to the fact that it deploys a sidecar proxy, denominated Envoy, throughout the environment intercepting all network communication between microservices.
Here, you can check an example of load balancing in a Istio service mesh. As you can see the Proxy is deployed inside the Pod, intercepting all communication that goes through it.

Amending Chapter 2, Article IX, Division 4, Code of Ordinances establishing the firefighters pension system by repealing sections 2-1251, 2-1255, 2-1259, 2-1264, 2-1265, 2-1268, 2-1271 and 2-1272 and enacting new sections 2-1251, 2-1255, 2-1259, 2-1264, 2-1265, 2-1268, 2-1271, 2-1272 and 1282 to establish new Tier 2 retirement benefits for persons employed on or after April 20, 2014.
Section 1. That Chapter 2, Article IX, Division 4, Code of Ordinances is amended by repealing sections 2-1251, 2-1255, 2-1259, 2-1264, 2-1265, 2-1268, 2-1271 and 2-1272 and enacting new sections 2-1251, 2-1255, 2-1259, 2-1264, 2-1265, 2-1268, 2-1271, 2-1272 and 1282 to read as follows:
Sec. 2-1251. Definitions.
The following words and phrases as used in this division, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context, shall have the following meanings:
Accumulated contributions means the sum of all amounts deducted from the compensation of the member and credited to his individual account in the pension fund, together with regular interest thereon, excluding, however, the initiation fee and service charges required by this division.
Annual compensation means compensation defined in section 415(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and section 1.415-2(d) of the Treasury Regulations, but in no event more than $200,000.00 per calendar year (as adjusted annually under section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code). Annual compensation also includes amounts contributed by the employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement which are excludable from a member's gross income under sections 125, 401(a)(8), 402(h), or 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Effective on and after January 1, 1996, in addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the plan, and notwithstanding any other provision of the plan to the contrary, for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1996, and only for employees who were not members before January 1, 1996, the annual compensation of each member taken into account under the plan shall not exceed to OBRA '93 annual compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000.00, as adjusted by the commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance with section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is 12.
For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1996, and only for employees who were not members before January 1, 1996, any reference in this pension system plan to the limitation under section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code shall mean the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision.
If compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a member's benefits accruing in the current plan year, the compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period. For this purpose, for determination periods beginning before the first day of the plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1996, or OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000.00.
Average final compensation means the monthly average of the two highest years of compensation of the member in the last ten years, whether or not such years are consecutive. Such average final compensation shall include any sick leave or vacation leave credited at retirement date.
Beneficiary means any person in receipt of a pension, retirement allowance or other benefit, or designated by any member to receive benefits upon his death.
Board of trustees means the board provided for in section 2-1255 to administer the pension system.
Compensation means the basic monthly wage or salary paid an employee excluding bonuses, overtime, expense allowance and other extraordinary compensation. Compensation shall include amounts contributed to any plan maintained by the employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement where the member could have elected to receive such amount as case compensation.
Creditable service means prior service plus membership service, if continuous. If member who terminates and withdraws accumulated contributions and interest is subsequently employed as firefighter, the member must repay total withdrawal plus interest as described in section 2-1253(d) before years prior to termination are considered creditable service.
Division means this division, as amended, and as this division may hereafter be amended.
Firefighter means any officer or employee of the fire department of the city employed for the duty of fighting fires, but not anyone employed in a clerical or any other capacity not involving firefighting duties. It shall, however, include all persons originally employed for firefighting duties, and who actually performed such duties, but for various reasons were transferred to other divisions of the fire department. In case of doubt as to whether any person is a firefighter within the meaning of this division, the decision of the board of trustees shall be final.
Fiscal year means the fiscal year of the city.
Medical board means the board of physicians provided for in this division.
Member means a member of the pension system as defined in section 2-1252.
Membership service means service as a firefighter rendered since last becoming a member after July 1, 1953.
Pension means a monthly payment for life. The first payment shall be made at the end of the month after the effective date of the benefit as established by the board of trustees. The final payment of all pensions and any child's allowance shall be made at the end of the month in which the event causing cessation of the payment occurs and shall be made for the full monthly amount without reduction.
Pension fund means the fund resulting from contributions made thereto by the city, by members of the pension system and from other sources, together with the earnings thereon.
Pension system means the firefighter's pension system as set out in this division.
Prior service means all service as a firefighter prior to the date the pension became effective.
Regular interest means interest at such rate as may be set by the board of trustees, not to exceed three percent per annum, compounded annually.
Tier 1 Member means a member of the pension system whose membership began prior to April 20, 2014.
Tier 2 Member means a member of the pension system whose membership began on or after April 20, 2014.
Sec. 2-1255. Membership and organization of board of trustees.
(a) Membership. The general administration and the responsibility for the proper operation of the pension system shall be vested in a board of trustees of nine persons, which board shall be constituted as follows:

(c) Compensation. Trustees shall serve without compensation, but they shall be reimbursed from the pension fund for all necessary expenses which they may incur through service on the board.
(d) Oath of office. Each trustee shall, within ten days after his appointment or election, take an oath of office before the director of records that, so far as it devolves upon him, he will diligently and honestly administer the affairs of the board and that he will not knowingly violate or willingly permit to be violated any of the provisions of this division as it is now written or as it may hereafter be amended. Such oath shall be subscribed to by the member making it, certified by the director of records, and filed in the office of the director of records.
(e) Vote. Each trustee shall be entitled to one vote on the board. The majority vote of the quorum present shall be necessary for a decision by the trustees at any meeting of the board. A quorum of the board shall be six trustees; because the non-voting member will not be counted towards determining a quorum.

The board shall publish annually in pamphlet form a report prepared by independent certified public accountants showing the fiscal transactions of the pension system for the preceding fiscal year, the status of assets and liabilities and the amount of securities and cash on hand. One copy of such annual report shall be delivered to each member of the board of trustees and to each member and current beneficiary of the Pension System, three copies shall be filed with the director of records, and 25 copies shall be delivered to the city manager for the members of the city council.
(c) Certification of amount to be paid by city. The board shall, before October 1 of each year, certify to the city manager the amount of the ARC, as defined in section 2-1282, to be paid by the city under the Pension System for the succeeding fiscal year as required by this division.
Sec. 2-1264. Conditions for retirement.
(a) Voluntary retirement – Tier 1. Any Tier 1 member in service as a firefighter for compensation or on authorized sick leave not exceeding one year, or who shall hereafter enter service as a firefighter, may retire when he has completed 25 or more years of creditable service or, if he first enters the pension system as fire chief and retires as fire chief, when he has completed 10 or more years of creditable service.
(b) Voluntary retirement – Tier 2. Any Tier 2 Member in service as a firefighter for compensation or on authorized sick leave not exceeding one year, or who shall hereafter enter service as a firefighter, may retire when he has completed 27 or more years of creditable service or, if he first enters the pension system as fire chief and retires as fire chief, when he has completed 10 or more years of creditable service.
(c) Disability retirement. If a member, while a participant in this plan, contracts an illness or suffers an accident rendering him permanently and totally disabled, he shall be entitled to pension benefits in accordance with the terms and provisions of section 2-1267

(b) Optional forms of payment.
(1) Withdrawal of contributions.
a. A Tier 1 member retiring with 25 or more years of creditable service, or a Tier 2 Member retiring with 27 years of creditable service, or a member who first enters the pension system as fire chief and retires as fire chief with ten or more years of creditable service may elect to withdraw all or a portion of his accumulated contributions and receive a reduced lifetime pension. This election will not affect the amount of the surviving spouse's pension or the cost-of-living adjustment.
b. The pension calculated in subsection (a) will be reduced by applying factors to the amount withdrawn as adopted by the board of trustees upon the recommendation of the pension system's consulting actuary.
c. The member's spouse, if any, must sign appropriate forms attesting consent.
(2) Joint options.
a. A Tier 1 member retiring with 25 or more years of creditable service, or a Tier 2 Member retiring with 27 years of creditable service, or a member who both first enters the pension system as fire chief and retires as fire chief with ten or more years of creditable service may elect a reduced lifetime pension. A percentage (100 percent, 75 percent, or 66 2/3 percent), as specified in the election, shall be paid to the surviving spouse instead of the amount specified in subsection 2-1268(a)(1) of this section.
b. This shall be calculated by multiplying the amount otherwise payable by the appropriate factor adopted by the board of trustees upon the recommendation of the pension system's consulting actuary.
c. This option is irrevocable after the effective date of the member's pension. It shall be effective only if the spouse was married to the member on the effective date of the member's pension and shall become ineffective if either the spouse or the member dies prior to the effective date of the pension.
d. Notwithstanding (b)(2)c, above, effective for deaths on or after the last day of the next fiscal year after enactment of this ordinance, for which the funding ratio is determined to be equal to or greater than 80%, if a member's spouse predeceases the spouse, after the joint option has commenced, the joint option shall cease to be effective after the date of the spouse's death. The member shall then have the member's pension increased to the full pension the member would have received, had the member not elected the joint option. The increase in the amount of the monthly pension shall commence following the month in which proof of the spouse's death has been filed with the Firefighters Pension System.
e. This election will not affect the amount of the cost-of-living adjustment.
f. The member's spouse, if any, must sign appropriate forms attesting consent; however, in no event shall a member be required to obtain the consent of an approved domestic partner in choosing pension options contained in this section.
(3) Required distribution. Distribution of a member's interest in the pension system shall commence not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the later of the calendar year in which the member attains age 70½ or the calendar year in which the member retires under the plan.
a. If a death benefit is being paid to a designated beneficiary other than the member's spouse, payments shall either:
1. Be completed by December 31 of the fifth calendar year following the year of the member's death; or
2. If there is no designated beneficiary, payment of a death benefit shall commence no later than December 31 of the fifth calendar year following the year of the member's death.
b. If the designated beneficiary is the member's spouse, death benefit payments shall commence no later than December 31 of the year the member would have attained age 70½ paid over the life or life expectancy of the spouse, as determined under table V of Treasury Regulations 1.79-2 as of the date the payments commence, and benefits shall be actuarially increased for the delay.
(c) Duty disability pension. Upon duty disability retirement, a member shall receive a monthly pension equal to 62.5 percent of the member's average final compensation per month, but not less than 62.5 percent of the then current maximum salary payable to the rank of a firefighter.
(d) Nonduty disability pension.

(e) Minimum benefit. A minimum benefit of $600.00 per month is established for voluntary, compulsory and disability retirees. Such minimum shall apply to current as well as future retired members, effective with pension checks dated August 1, 1986. Any annual cost-of-living adjustment related to prior calculated benefits shall be based on the original amount without reference to this minimum. The provisions of section 2-1279, when applicable to certain disability retirements, shall apply even if the net payments are less than the minimum stated herein.
(f) Cost-of-living adjustment – Tier 1. A cost-of-living adjustment is authorized under these conditions:
(1) Effective date of adjustment and applicability. An annual cost-of-living adjustment shall be payable on pension checks to be dated May 1 of the current year and shall remain unchanged until the next effective date of adjustment. This adjustment shall apply to all beneficiaries receiving benefits, except no pension of any member or beneficiary retiring after January 1 of any year shall be adjusted until May 1 of the succeeding year. The cost-of-living adjustment shall not apply to any funeral benefit.
(2) Amount of adjustment. The adjustment shall be three percent, each year, non compounded.
(g) Cost-of-living adjustment – Tier 2. A cost-of-living adjustment is authorized under these conditions:
(1) Effective date of adjustment and applicability. An annual cost-of-living adjustment shall be payable on pension checks to be dated May 1 of the current year and shall remain unchanged until the next effective date of adjustment. This adjustment shall apply to all beneficiaries receiving benefits, but no sooner than the May 1 following the 27th anniversary of the Tier 2 Members employment, except no pension of any member or beneficiary retiring after January 1 of any year shall be adjusted until May 1 of the succeeding year. The cost-of-living adjustment shall not apply to any funeral benefit.
(2) Amount of adjustment. The adjustment for a Tier 2 Member shall be paid if the prior year funding ratio of the pension fund is equal to or greater than 80%, and will be equal to the percentage increase in the prior 12 months of the final national consumer price index for all urban consumers published prior to December 31 in advance of the next year's adjustment, but shall not exceed 2.5% and shall be non compounded.
(h) Health insurance subsidy. There is hereby established a plan to provide health insurance subsidy payments to retired members of the firefighters' pension system as provided herein:
(1) Funding. A separate fund will be established within the firefighters' pension system for the purpose of providing a health insurance subsidy to eligible annuitants pursuant to subsection (g)(4) of this section. Members will contribute one percent beginning May 20, 1991, toward the establishment of this fund. Beginning May 1, 1992, the city will contribute one percent toward funding. Effective July 25, 1994, the city and members will each contribute one-half percent toward funding. Effective June 23, 1996, the city and active members will each again contribute one percent toward funding. Effective January 1, 2000, the city shall contribute an additional one percent toward funding. Contributions funding this subsidy shall be in addition to contributions required in section 2-1272. The dollar value of these percentage contributions will be calculated and collected by the methods used in section 2-1272
(2) Effective date. The board of trustees before April 1 of each year shall determine the dollar value of the annual health insurance subsidy. In addition to the amount determined by the board each year, the city shall pay:
a. Effective November 1, 2010, a $100.00 monthly retiree health subsidy to all retired members; and
b. Effective November 1, 2011 and continuing thereafter, a $200.00 monthly retiree health insurance subsidy to all retired members.
The subsidy shall be payable on pension checks of eligible annuitants pursuant to subsection (g)(4) of this section, to be dated May 1 of the current year, beginning 1992, and shall remain unchanged until the next effective date of adjustment. This benefit shall be provided so long as funds are available in the health insurance subsidy fund.
(3) Method of determination.
a. Contributions to the fund for the current fiscal year will be estimated based upon members' payroll.
b. This estimated amount plus earnings, forecasted at the rate assumed in the then most current actuarial valuation performed for the firefighters' pension system, as of January 1 of the current year will serve as the basis for distributions. The fund's balance after distribution must equal one percent of member's annual payroll or $270,000.00, whichever is greater. If the fund's balance is reported by the custodian to be below $270,000.00 at the end of any month, then all distributions from the fund shall cease until the next succeeding May 1.
c. The basis as determined in subsection (g)(3) of this section will be equally divided by all members eligible on January 1 of the current year. In no event will subsidy be greater than carrier premiums.
(4) Eligibility requirements. The health insurance subsidy shall be payable under the following conditions.
a. Tier 1 Members must have retired with at least 25 years of creditable service and Tier 2 Members must have retired with at least 27 years of creditable service; or
b. Meet eligibility requirements for a duty disability retirement as detailed in section 2-1267(a), (c), (d) and (e).
The surviving spouse of a member who dies in the performance of duty as a firefighter becomes eligible for the health insurance subsidy described above. If there is no surviving spouse, a minor child, or children, eligible for pension benefits under section 2-1268(a)(2) will receive the health insurance subsidy payment following the death of a qualified member as long as the child qualifies for pension benefit payments. Only one subsidy is payable per member. If more than one child qualifies as a surviving minor, the subsidy shall be paid in equal shares to all of the qualifying children.
(g) Direct rollover. This provision applies to distributions made on or after January 1, 1993. Notwithstanding any provision of the pension system to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee's election under this provision, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the board of trustees, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.
(1) Eligible rollover distributions. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net realized appreciation with respect to employer securities).
(2) Eligible retirement plan. An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, an annuity plan described in section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a qualified trust described in section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution. However, in the case of an eligible rollover to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
(3) Distributee. A distributee includes a member or former member. In addition, the member's or former member's surviving spouse and the member's former spouse who is the alternative payee under a state domestic relations order determined by the board of trustees, based on written procedures, to be a qualified domestic relations order, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.
(4) Direct rollover. A direct rollover is a payment by the fund to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
(h) Pension adjustment for previous beneficiaries. Effective for each payment made on or after March 1, 2000, the pension payment for each beneficiary shall be increased one percent for each year such beneficiary was receiving benefits prior to January 1, 1990.
(i) Rights of domestic partner. Except as provided in (b)(2) above, a member's approved domestic partner, as recognized by the city, shall have all the rights and responsibilities of a member's spouse as provided in this section 2-1265
(j) Children of domestic partnership. For the purposes of this section 2-1265, children and step children of domestic partnerships shall have the same rights as children and step children of marital relationships.
Sec. 2-1268. Death benefits generally.
(a) Amount. Upon receipt of the proper proofs of death of a member, there shall be paid the following amounts:
(1) Surviving spouse's pension.
a. There shall be paid to the eligible surviving spouse, if any, beginning the month following a member's death, one-half of the member's accrued pension at date of death as provided in section 2-1265(a), but not less than 25 percent of the member's average final compensation per month unless the deceased member had elected the joint option provided in section 2-1265(b)(2).
b. However, if the member dies before retirement as the natural and proximate result of an accident sustained in the performance of duty as a firefighter, the member's surviving spouse shall receive 100 percent of the member's accrued pension, but not less than 62.5 percent of the member's average final compensation per month, for a period of ten years.
c. If a Tier 1 Member having 25 years or more of creditable service, or a Tier 2 Member having 27 years or more of creditable service, dies before retirement, his surviving spouse shall receive a pension calculated as if the member retired on the date of his death, electing a 100 percent joint option without lump sum withdrawal, as calculated in section 2-1265(b)(2).
d. A minimum of $275.00 per month is established for current and future spouse's pension payments, effective with pension checks dated August 1, 1986. Any annual cost-of-living adjustment related to prior calculated benefits shall be based on the original amount without reference to this minimum. The provisions of section 2-1279, when applicable to certain disability benefits, shall apply even if the net payments are less than the minimum stated in this subsection.
e. If there be no surviving spouse, or if such surviving spouse dies, the surviving spouse's pension shall be divided equally among any children eligible, as provided in subsection (a)(2) of this section for a child's allowance.
(2) Child's allowance.
a. There shall be paid to a member's child or children under the age of 18 years at the time of the member's death, $100.00 a month each until such child shall attain the age of 18 years, unless the child is a full-time student at an accredited institution of higher learning, in which case the payments shall continue until the child shall attain the age of 21 years.
b. Any child 18 years of age or older, who is physically or mentally incapacitated from earning a livelihood, shall, so long as such incapacity exists as certified by a member of the medical board, be entitled to the same benefits as a child under the age of 18. If any so incapacitated child shall marry, such child shall not thereafter be entitled to any benefits under this division.
(3) Funeral benefit. Effective May 3, 1993, there shall be paid a funeral benefit of $2,000.00, whether death occurred in service or after retirement.
(b) Qualification of surviving spouse. No surviving spouse shall be entitled to receive any benefits or payment of any pension under this division unless the spouse is married to the member as of the effective date of the member's benefit and as of the date of the member's death.
(c) Other payments. If there be no surviving spouse, or child qualifying for child's allowance, surviving such deceased member, the member's accumulated contributions shall be paid to his or her estate or named beneficiary. If the payments received by such member, or the member's surviving spouse or children, did not equal the amount of the accumulated contributions, then the remaining balance of the accumulated contributions shall be paid to the member's named beneficiary or estate.
(d) Rights of domestic partner. A member's approved domestic partner, as recognized by the city, shall have all the rights and responsibilities of a member's spouse as provided in this section 2-1268
(1) Qualification of domestic partner. No domestic partner shall be entitled to receive any benefits or payment of any pension under this division unless the domestic partner's status as such had been approved prior to effective date of the member's benefit and continues in such status as of the date of the member's death.
(e) Children of domestic partnership. For the purposes of this section 2-1268, children and step children of domestic partnerships shall have the same rights as children and step children of marital relationships.
Sec. 2-1271. Death benefits after election of deferred pension.
Should any former Tier 1 Member of the fire department having less than 25 years of creditable service or any Tier 2 Member of the fire department having less than 27 years of creditable service, or after having elected to receive a deferred pension under provisions of section 2-1270, die before becoming 50 years of age, no funeral or other benefits of any kind shall accrue or become payable to his widow or children or any other person except the return of his accumulated contributions, with interest, to his estate or to his named beneficiary. Should such member die after becoming 50 years of age, the benefits payable provided by section 2-1268 shall become payable as provided therein in a sum or sums bearing the same ratio to the sum therein provided as the number of creditable years bears for a Tier 1 Member to 25 or a Tier 2 Member to 27.
Sec. 2-1272. Deduction of member contributions from salaries; pickup of member contributions by employer.
(a) A pension contribution shall be deducted as a condition and consideration of employment by the city from the stated compensation of each member until retirement, or as otherwise provided in this division, in an amount equal to 9.55 percent of the member's compensation, effective with the pay period beginning July 20, 1986. Effective with the pay period beginning April 20, 2014, each member will pay an amount equal to 10.55 percent of the member's compensation. The deductions provided for in this subsection shall be made even though the minimum compensation payable to each member as provided by ordinance shall be reduced thereby, and each member shall be deemed to consent to the deductions so made and provided for in this subsection, and payment of salary or compensation less such deduction shall be a full and complete discharge of all claims and demands whatsoever for services rendered by such member during the period covered by such payment, except as to benefits provided by this division.
(b) The employer, pursuant to the provisions of section 414(h)(2) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, shall pick up and pay the contributions which would otherwise be payable by members as prescribed in this section, commencing with the pay period ending May 10, 1986. The contributions so picked up shall be treated as employer contributions for purposes of determining the amounts of federal and state income taxes to withhold from the member's compensation.

Favorite Dessert: Ricotta & Fruit Bowls ~ Diane's Vintage Zest!
My favorite desserts of all time would have to be either a tart or cheesecake loaded with ripe, delicious fruit. I can't imagine baking every day, so this is something that I like to imagine as a deconstructed version of those desserts!
The way that I came to this recipe was when I was moving out of my last apartment and needed to start cleaning out my pantry. I was working my way through my dried fruit stockpile, and decided to add dried blueberries to some leftover ricotta from a lasagna recipe.
Sometimes, I swear that it almost tastes like cheesecake if I concentrate hard enough. :) This is going to be a lot like last week's "recipe" of yogurt and fruit cups, and just like that recipe, I eat this almost every day for a quick, light dessert!
*See below for what I like to use!
1. Mix the ricotta with any extras that you would like to use.
2. Mix in the amount of sweetener, to your taste.
* I like using agave nectar or honey. Other good sweeteners to use are maple syrup, mashed persimmons, date sugar, etc.
3. Top with your favorite fresh or dried fruit!
*I used fresh peaches, but this works well with strawberries, blueberries, mango, and everything in between. Even dried fruit works, like my favorite, dried blueberries!
4. Top with your "crust."
*I use fiber cereal most of the time, but feel free to use other cereal, broken graham crackers, or anything to mimic a tart crust!
This is light and simple dessert that satisfies my sweet tooth with a bit of fiber and nutrition thrown in. It tastes good and it's good for me? Yes!
What is your favorite dessert to make at home?
This sounds yummy! I put it on my grocery shopping list.
Yum! I'm always looking for healthy snack ideas. I just can't handle the texture of cottage cheese, so ricotta is a great idea (even though I know they are the same cheese - I can't convince my brain of that).
What a great idea, I'll have to make for my boys. Thanks for the recipe, stopping by from Adorned from above.
This would make a great breakfast! Visiting from Miz Helen's Country Cottage.

Charity Navigator - Unrated Profile for Brigids Path Inc.
While there are many factors that go into a complete Charity Navigator evaluation, there are some simple steps you can take to conduct your own review of this organization. Access our guide, Evaluating Charities Not Currently Rated by Charity Navigator. This charity has provided Impact Information to one of our partners which may also help with your evaluation of its work.
Brigid's Path is dedicated to two goals: Providing withdrawal services to infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in an intimate home-like setting surrounded by medical staff and specially trained volunteers. Engaging these infant's families in an easy-to-access, non-judgmental setting where they can begin the journey of bonding with their child and accessing a wide range of community services with the assistance of family advocates using a strengths-based approach.
Strategic Goal A – Improve the Lives of Babies and Mothers through State of the Art Operating Systems Improve the lives of babies and mothers through state-of-the-art clinical, staffing, finance, quality, and leadership systems. Strategic Goal B – Expand our Continuum of Care Partnership Model Expand our continuum of care partnership model with hospital system and social service partners to include recovery support, transitional housing, transportation, education, employment, and mentoring. Strategic Goal C – Ensure our Ability to Serve Mothers and Babies with the Clinical Services We Provide through a Sustainable Funding Model Ensure our ability to serve mothers and babies with the clinical services we provide through sustainable funding of Medicaid reimbursement and federal, state, and local grants. Strategic Goal D – Communicate our Compelling Story of "Delivering Hope for Families" to the Community and Donors Communicate our compelling story of "delivering hope for families" to the community and donors through private fundraising, marketing, social media, and web presence.
The Brigid's Path team was able to open our doors to serving patients on December 29, 2017 overcoming numerous obstacles and barriers along the way. There is only one other facility of this type in the country and none in Ohio. This required the renovation of a donated building to support the unique homelike experience that was also able to meet the medical and clinical requirements for caring for babies experiencing withdrawal as well as a safe and inviting atmosphere for their families. Licensing as an Ohio Crisis Care Facility was obtained. Partnerships with state and federal legislature allowed for the passage of the CRIB Act which will allow for future Medicaid funding. Brigid's Path was able to provide services for 18 babies with NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) and their families during the first six months of caring for babies and families. Available beds were limited to four for a majority of that time to maintain sustainability and refine procedures and policies. Although the number of infants served during that period was only 18, the positive and lifelong impact is obvious by the outcomes and the testimonials of the families Brigid's Path served. Perhaps most importantly, all babies who entered into care at Brigid's Path were discharged to family or Kinship and stayed out of the foster care system. Families received non-judgmental support that reinforced their individual strengths and skills. Opportunities to bond with their baby and receive education on infant care and safety were offered with each visit. Each family received support finding appropriate community resources, attending court appointments and other appointments and staying engaged with drug treatment. Family advocates continued regular follow up visits and communication with families after their baby's discharge. These elements have contributed to the overwhelming personal success of these families.
I want to donate to Brigids Path Inc.

2. Colorimetric Analysis (1)
Calorimetric analysis, also called "absorptiometry", is a method for analyzing a material based on its color.Now, let's see what the "color" is; that is, what the "light" is, which shows the color.
Light and color
The relationship between light, radio, and X-rays (about light)
Can you answer immediately when you are asked what light is? The "light" which surrounds us as a matter of course is a kind of electromagnetic wave, as are the radio waves of radio and television, and the X-rays used for radiography.
Light is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
Sunlight vs. the laser beam (white light and monochromatic light)
Among the forms of light shown in the table on the last page, light having wavelengths from 200 - 400 nm is called ultraviolet (UV), from 400 - 800 nm is called visible (VIS), and from 800 nm - near 1 mm is called infrared (IR). Most importantly, only visible light can be seen as a "color" with our eyes, as the name suggests.
The wavelength determines the color of visible light: red, blue, etc.
This is why the order of the colors in the rainbow is always the same.
Light containing all wavelengths, including ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared is called "white light" (for example, sunlight, an incandescent lamp, etc).
On the other hand, each color of light, (e.g., red, blue, etc) is called "monochromatic light". To illustrate, white light from sunlight may be split into the seven familiar rainbow colors (wavelengths) using a a tool such as a "filter" or "prism". In constrast, light from a laser beam consists of only one wavelength (i.e., a single wavelength).
White light: Light containing all wavelengths;
Monochromatic light: Light of single
Why is an apple red? (about color).
Newton considered why an apple falls from a tree.
Here, let's consider why an apple looks red.
Does an apple look red in a pitch-dark room at night? The answer is: NO. However, the same apple may look red when a light is turned on, or during bright daytime. This means that we need light (here, white light) to see "color."
Why does an apple look red instead of blue or yellow?
Materials such as apples, cars, and clothes have a preference for colors, just as we do.
When a certain material is exposed to light containing various colors (white light), it takes in and keeps only its favorite colors from this light (a phenomenon called "absorption"). It's disliked color (called a "complementary color") is then reflected, and becomes visible to our eyes as the color of the material.
In other words, an apple prefers blue and green and dislikes red. When it is exposed to white light, it will absorb blue and green, and look like red, which is the complementary color. Remember that anything we call "color" is related to "wavelength."
A material absorbs light of a specific wavelength.
What we see is thecomplementary color.

Invisible light (ultraviolet and infrared)
Do you understand what visible light is, from the explanation so far? If you don't, please review it. So, what are the forms of light other than visible light, such as ultraviolet and infrared which are not visible?
Ultraviolet light may cause skin cancer and suntans. Ultraviolet light, abbreviated UV, refers to an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range from around 400 nm (upper limit) to around 100 nm (lower limit), although this is not so strict (the region from several tens of nm or less is called a soft X-ray). In the field of spectral analysis, the ultraviolet region of 200 nm or less is referred to as the far-ultraviolet, while 300 nm or more is called the near-ultraviolet.
Generally, an ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer can measure wavelengths from 200 nm.
We often hear the word, "infrared" used in terms and phrases in everyday life such as a far-infrared grill and a far-infrared kotatsu. Infrared light, abbreviated IR refers to an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range from about 1 mm (upper limit; note that a part of this region overlaps with the sub-millimeter wave of microwaves) to about 800 nm (lower limit). Since infrared light exhibits a heating effect, it is also called a heat ray. That explains why infrared is used in a grill or kotatsu.
Although the classification for infrared light varies, it is usually called near infrared for wavelengths 2.5 µm or less, infrared for wavelengths from 2.5 - 25 µm, and far-infrared for wavelengths larger than 25 µm.
Although an infrared spectrophotometer is used for infrared measurement, some ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometers can measure light even the near-infrared region.

Outdoor advertising has long been recognized as an effective means of reaching consumers with marketing messages – there's a reason the medium has been used for more than 100 years! In fact, Billboard magazine was founded in 1894 initially to cover the advertising and "bill posting" industry.
It has not, however, historically been easy to measure the direct impact of OOH ads for the businesses that run them. Until now. The advent of digital out of home means that data – specifically location data – can be leveraged to determine both device exposure and later store visitation. Platforms that facilitate the purchase and digital delivery of these ads make it easy for brands to get on board,which is why we're so excited about our most recent integration with Vistar Media.
Vistar's new measurement suite includes Factual as a launch partner, allowing marketers to apply foot traffic measurement offerings to out-of-home campaigns at scale to create a clear view of ROI within an omnichannel strategy. Many brands today are already leveraging Factual data for measurement within numerous platforms, and our partnership with Vistar give marketers control of consistent methodologies across media.

Q: Angular material autocomplete component displays options on the footer instead of the header I created an angular component for my navbar which I want to implement a search function with autocomplete, I linked my backend and created services and it retrieves data perfectly, But the problem is it displays the retrieved data on the footer!!

Navbar
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data- target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">

</button>

      Home (current)

      Link

        Dropdown

        Action
        Another action

        Something else here

      Disabled

  <form class="example-form">
    <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
      <input type="text"
             placeholder="Pick one"
             aria-label="Number"
             matInput
             [formControl]="myControl"
             [matAutocomplete]="auto">
      <mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let option of filteredOptions | async" [value]="option">
          {{option}}
        </mat-option>
      </mat-autocomplete>
    </mat-form-field>
  </form>

the navbar is a template from bootstrap and the only additional CSS styles in this component are the following
.mynavbar{
background-color: #6EB06B !important;
}
.nav-link-r{
color: white !important;
font-size: large;
}
.autofill-space{
overflow: visible !important;
}
.option-items{
color: tomato;
 }
.example-form {
min-width: 150px;
max-width: 500px;
width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width {
width: 100%;
}

I want the retrieved options to be displayed under the text input like in the original component but this keeps displaying it in the footer area skipping the entire website body, what am I doing wrong?


Water cannons and tear gas have been used against protesters in Southern France. Public anger over police brutality is boiling over in France following the death of an environmental activist killed by a police stun grenade last month.
Rémi Fraisse was killed by French police on October 26 during a protest against a dam construction in Tarn, near Toulouse. The 21-year old was part of an environmental group which protested the construction.
Fraisse's death sparked a wave of protests calling on the government to avenge the young man's death and condemn police brutality. A large number of demonstrations started in November and so far has seen at least 69 rallies taken place from Paris to smaller towns like La Rochelle and Nantes.
On Saturday, the violence again culminated in a number of French cities with police using water cannons to break up the crowds of demonstrators who were carrying banners reading "No firearms," and "End to the license to kill". Some of the protesters threw rocks at riot police during the protest.
At least 16 people were arrested in Toulouse after garbage containers were set on fire following a peaceful march by more than 1,000 protesters. Another 14 were detained by Police in Nantes where around 1,500 people took to the streets.
"Some people were arrested in Nantes, Toulouse and Bordeaux ," Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve said in a statement, reporting a total of 38 arrests as 20 cities participated in the action against police brutality on Saturday.
