Sometimes when you meet a person, you can tell right away you are talking to someone larger than life. That's the vibe you get from Sergeant First Class Herbert Burnett, U.S. Army (retired). He knows where he's going and how to get there. Here's his story.
Herbert is a native of Urbana, Illinois. He enlisted in the Army on March 26, 1986, to get away from the streets. His MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) was Medical Logistics, making him responsible for ordering, receiving, storing and issuing medical supplies. He practiced his skills in the Middle East twice – once in Saudi Arabia in 1992 after Operation Desert Storm, and later during the Iraq War in 2004.
Herbert deployed to Dharan, Saudi Arabia, in 1992, when he was a sergeant (E-5), although he was promoted to Sergeant First Class (E-6) shortly thereafter. His unit, the 21st Evac Hospital, was already there – he plugged into it once he arrived. He remembers the date he deployed with great clarity – 28 August 1992. That's because his daughter was born two days after he left, on 30 August 1992. He didn't get to see her until he returned from Saudi Arabia in December. Herbert stayed at Khobar Towers, near the King Abdulaziz Air Base. This was the same Khobar Towers that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb in 1996. By that time, Herbert had long since moved on to his next assignment.
After Herbert returned from Saudi Arabia, he was assigned to recruiting duty in Indianapolis, where he excelled. In fact, he was the Indianapolis Recruiting Battalion's top recruiter in 1994 out of approximately 200 recruiters. This achievement earned him 3 years of follow-on recruiting duty in Champaign, Illinois, which is the sister city of his hometown, Urbana. But it was Herbert's deployment to Iraq that proved to be the defining event of his long and successful Army career.
The Iraq War began in March 2003. Herbert's unit, the 31st Combat Support Hospital out of Fort Bliss, Texas, deployed to Baghdad in January 2004. Herbert joined his unit in Iraq in April 2004. When he arrived, the unit – which operated a 296-bed hospital – was having serious medical logistics problems. No one was tracking orders, there was no good account of what supplies were on hand, and many supplies were left outside to bake in the hot Iraqi sun.
As a senior noncommissioned officer (NCO), Herbert set out to assess within 72 hours what was working and what was not, and what needed to be fixed right away. Working closely with a Lieutenant Colonel from his unit, Herbert developed a plan of attack to get the unit's medical logistics operations squared away. Working sunup to sundown, he implemented the systems necessary to bring the logistics situation under control.
The turning point for Herbert's soldiers occurred in June of 2004. Herbert started getting complaints from NCOs in the operating rooms and the emergency room (ER). They were asking for things and Herbert's soldiers weren't being responsive. Herbert contacted his counterpart in the ER and asked him to let Herbert know the moment he got word of any mass casualty situation. He didn't have to wait long – the next day some seriously injured people were brought into the ER, including a female soldier who had a portion of her leg blown off and a deep cut in her thigh. Herbert mustered all of his soldiers, had them scrub up, and made every one of them observe the casualties so they could see that their fellow soldiers' lives depended upon their actions. Herbert said that for the first time, his soldiers understood how important their jobs were. They had a "paradigm shift," and were a different unit from that day forward. They excelled at what they did and were recognized for their performance and dedication to duty.
Over the course of his one-year tour in Iraq, Herbert was assigned four soldiers who had gotten into trouble in their units. Their units had given up on them, so they were assigned to Herbert to see if he could turn them around. One was a soldier who had gone AWOL and was close to being separated from the Army. Herbert worked with all four soldiers, devoting the necessary time and effort to help them succeed. He also gave them confidence by making sure they knew they were valuable members of his team. Herbert was particularly proud that all four of these soldiers completed their tours in Iraq and received awards for their performance – something unheard of for soldiers who had gotten into trouble. Even more impressive, the soldier who had gone AWOL turned out to be one of the best soldiers in Herbert's unit, despite not having any prior medical logistics experience. Herbert proved that soldiers will follow leaders who lead them to success.
Herbert also served as a convoy commander, making dozens of runs between the Green Zone and Baghdad International Airport. This was particularly dangerous in 2004 because the Humvees they drove didn't have the heavier protective armor that arrived later in the war. On one occasion, Herbert gave his convoy team some time to visit the Post Exchange. He told everyone to return to the vehicles by 4:45 p.m. because they needed to be back before nightfall. One member ran back to the Exchange to get a fifty-cent candy bar and was late getting back. As a result, the convoy didn't depart until 5:10 p.m., and it was dark by 5:30 p.m. The convoy took and returned fire on the way home, all because of a candy bar. Herbert has used this story ever since to convey to his soldiers, and now the youth he works with, that the details matter.
Herbert's tour in Iraq was the crowning achievement of his career – he excelled during wartime and led his 49-person team to successfully complete its mission. If you ask him, he will admit he was a little scared to go to Iraq in that he didn't want to be killed so close to retirement. He prayed for protection and knew before he left that God would keep him safe. That promise was honored more than once, but most vividly on the night after Herbert moved from his quarters at the hospital to new quarters in another building. A mortar hit the hospital, spraying broken glass and debris over the bed he'd slept in for months until that very day. Herbert knows he was spared because he still has things to accomplish with his life.
Now that he's a civilian again and the owner of a successful clothing store, Suits by Soouljah, Herbert's transformed his passion for helping troubled soldiers into helping keep youth from getting into trouble. He's been an Assistant Basketball Coach at Urbana High School for the past 4 years (and coached a total of 10 years at the high school level), and founded a non-profit organization, "Not On My Watch", where he stands up for youth and gives them the confidence and the love they need to succeed – just like he used to do for his soldiers. He knows he has to start working with kids while they are young, before they make bad choices. He's currently working with 40 youth in the community, serving as a stellar role model and giving them a positive message.
There are two more things you need to know about Herbert. First, his military career came with significant personal sacrifice. His time away from home cost him his marriage of 24 years, and his relationship with his son because he was not there when his son needed him most. Herbert's pain is real – it's a pain many military families endure. Few families weather a military career without storms.
Second, what Herbert wants you to take away from his interview is that military service changes you, especially wartime service. You won't ever be the person you were before you served. The key to moving on is recognizing that reality and embracing it. If you do, you will be a better, stronger person for your military service, able to use what you learned to excel for the rest of your life. If you don't embrace it, you will constantly be looking backwards to what might have been. As Herbert so plainly notes, the choice of whether you move forward or look backward is yours.

Tick-tock goes the croc: A high-density EEG study of risk-reactivity and binge-drinking
John E. Kiat, Jacob E. Cheadle
Links between individual differences in risk processing and high-risk behaviors such as binge-drinking have long been the focus of active research. However, investigations in this area almost exclusively utilize decision-making focused paradigms. This emphasis makes it difficult to assess links between risk behaviors and raw risk reactivity independent of decision and feedback processes. A deeper understanding of this association has the potential to shed light on the role of risk reactivity in high-risk behavior susceptibility. To contribute toward this aim, this study utilizes a popular risk-taking game, the crocodile dentist, to assess links between individual differences in decision-free risk-reactivity and reported binge-drinking frequency levels. In this task, participants engage in a series of decision-free escalating risk responses. Risk-reactivity was assessed by measuring late positive potential responses toward risk-taking action initiation cues using high-density 256-Channel EEG. The results indicate that, after controlling for overall alcohol consumption frequency, higher rates of reported binge-drinking are associated with both increased general risk-taking responsivity and increased risk-reactivity escalation as a function of risk level. These findings highlight intriguing links between risk reactivity and binge-drinking frequency, making key contributions in the areas of risk-taking and affective science.

A new Collins Street home for AL_A's MPavilion
Wednesday 2 March 2016, 9.00am
MPavilion 2015 has a new address! A gift to the City of Melbourne, AL_A's high-tech canopy of composite petals and carbon fibre stems will be relocating to the corner of Collins Street and Harbour Esplanade in Docklands.
Making the announcement today, Naomi Milgrom AO, Chair of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, said: "In its new permanent home, Amanda Levete's MPavilion 2015 will continue to inspire and be part of our city's cultural heritage as a public amenity of Melbourne. Amanda's magical, forest-like structure joins a growing family of architectural masterpieces to be enjoyed by the people of Melbourne for years to come."
AL_A's design is the second annual temporary pavilion in a series of four to be commissioned by the Naomi Milgrom Foundation as part of the MPavilion project. It's not every day you hear of an entire building being moved, but each MPavilion shifts to a permanent Melbourne location after its season in the Queen Victoria Gardens.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said MPavilion 2015 would provide a lasting cultural legacy to Melbourne: "The City of Melbourne is thrilled to be working with the Naomi Milgrom Foundation and Places Victoria to provide a permanent home for MPavilion 2015 in Docklands. MPavilion is a unique architectural feature that will provide a wonderful a drawcard for the Docklands community, both as an event space, a meeting hub and a symbol of the value of public art and urban design."
The State Government's property developer Places Victoria will start work installing MPavilion 2015 at the west end of Collins Street this week. Places Victoria precincts general manager Simon Wilson says the pavilion will be incorporated into new landscaping in existing open space between Collins Street and the multipurpose sports courts on Harbour Esplanade. "We're very grateful to the Naomi Milgrom Foundation and the City of Melbourne for gifting this beautiful pavilion to Docklands so it can continue to be admired and enjoyed," he said. "It will be a new architectural feature for the precinct, a welcome lunch spot for around 15,000 workers in the vicinity and a place to take shelter."
Created by British architect Amanda Levete in collaboration with Brisbane-based marine industry specialists mouldCAM, the composite 'petals' comprising the roof of MPavilion 2015 are each only three millimetres thick, and wired into high-tech carbon-fibre stems. Moving MPavilion 2015's forest-like canopy will be a literal process of uprooting. The relocation and landscaping works in Collins Street will continue until mid-2016.

Omicron variant could pose threat to employment and economic activity: Powell Updated: 2021-11-30 13:57:20 KST
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says that the Omicron variant will threaten the U.S. economy.
He said in a statement which he plans to deliver to the Senate on Tuesday that "the recent rise in COVID-19 cases and the emergence of the Omicron variant pose downside risks to employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation."
Powell also added that due to the variant, people's willingness to work in person will decrease, which in turn will slow down the recovery of the labor market and further disrupt supply-chains.

+ Co-Op Modes
For Honor Removes Split-Screen Support
News 10/6/2016 at 3:00 PM by Enoch Starnes 0
No longer can you and a buddy high-five while punching samurai.
Co-Op gaming's been in a weird place lately. On the one hand, you've got the indie scene, in which local co-op dungeon crawler/twin-stick shooter/roguelike/beat-em-up games are coming in at an almost comically fast rate. On the other, you've got AAA developers slowly, but surely, moving away from any form of local co-op. Unfortunately, Ubisoft's For Honor is the latest victim of said movement.
From the beginning, For Honor's developers had been hoisting the flag of split-screen multiplayer, calling it a "key feature" of the game, but the recent closed alpha seems to have swung their opinion in the opposite direction. It will still feature two player online co-op, of course, but Ubisoft Montreal has decided to focus their remaining efforts on polishing both that and other, non-local, aspects of their medieval combat simulator.
It's sad to see local multiplayer scratched from yet another game, but given the potential for performance struggles that have plagued past split-screen titles, it's entirely possible that optimizing the local experience required far more effort than it was worth. As much as I would've enjoyed plopping down on the couch and beating up on a few dozen knights with a friend, I'd much prefer to see a single fully realized co-op experience than two mediocre ones.
We'll find out if that's really the case, though, when For Honor hits PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on February 14th of next year.

Musharraf Denies He Is Stepping Down
JANE PERLEZ
Despite rumors to the contrary, President Pervez Musharraf insisted he was staying in power, and President Bush confirmed his continued support with a phone call to him Friday.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pressed by a swirl of rumors that he was about to be ousted, President Pervez Musharraf insisted this week that he was staying, and President Bush on Friday confirmed his continued support with a reassuring phone call to Mr. Musharraf, the White House said.
Mr. Musharraf was forced at an official dinner Thursday night to deny rumors of his imminent departure, speaking after a Pakistani newspaper reported that the chief of army staff, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, met with him on Wednesday to persuade him to resign.
At the same time, the Pakistani military confirmed that General Kayani had removed a loyalist to Mr. Musharraf from one of the army's most significant posts.
The change involved the leader of the Triple-One Brigade, a unit based in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, which is responsible for the security of the president and of the capital, Islamabad. It is commonly regarded as the "coup" brigade because it has been used by the army chief to topple civilian opponents.
The army described the appointment of Brig. Faheem Rao to the Triple-One Brigade as "routine," but the removal of the brigade's commander, Brig. Aasim Salim Bajwa, was widely interpreted as a step by General Kayani to further weaken Mr. Musharraf.
In his telephone conversation with the Pakistani president, Mr. Bush "reiterated the United States' strong support for Pakistan, and he indicated that he looked forward to President Musharraf's continuing role in further strengthening United States-Pakistani relations," said the White House spokeswoman, Dana Perino.
In remarks that were televised Friday, Mr. Musharraf denied there was a rift between him and General Kayani. He called the rumors about his departure a "malicious campaign," saying he had given the newly elected prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, his "full cooperation."
Mr. Musharraf, considered a vital ally by the Bush administration in the campaign against terrorism and a force for stability in Pakistan, has seen a steady erosion in his power in the last six months. He suffered a steep drop in popularity after he dismissed the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
After intense pressure, he relinquished the leadership of the military to General Kayani last December, and in elections in February, the political party that had supported him for eight years went down in defeat.
Since then, the question of whether Mr. Musharraf should stay as president or be forced out has been one of the dominant themes of Pakistani politics, even as the economy reels under severe power shortages, a declining currency and escalating food prices.
Pressure mounted when in a surprising turnabout, the leader of the majority party in the civilian government, Asif Ali Zardari, said last week that Mr. Musharraf was a "relic of the past."
Without being specific about how or when, Mr. Zardari, who had been relatively supportive of the president, suggested that he should go.
In the past several days, the news media have widely reported that Mr. Zardari believes Mr. Musharraf should be given "safe passage" to leave the country.
But a former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, who is the leader of the junior party in the coalition, said Wednesday that Mr. Musharraf should be impeached.
Mr. Sharif, who was removed as prime minister by Mr. Musharraf in a coup in October 1999, said he could forgive Mr. Musharraf for the personal indignities he suffered after the coup. But, he said, the nation could not forgive Mr. Musharraf for the damage he had done during his military rule.
Adding to the rising political uproar, Aitzaz Ahsan, the leader of a lawyers' movement to restore the chief justice, said a long march of disgruntled lawyers from around the country would converge on Parliament next week.
If the president did not quit, Mr. Ahsan warned, the lawyers' march would also besiege Army House in Rawalpindi, where Mr. Musharraf lives.
Those who said Mr. Musharraf was creating instability for the new civilian government said it was a matter of time, perhaps weeks, perhaps months, before he was forced out.
"Things are very uncertain," said Athar Minallah, a leader of the lawyers' movement. "But it is at least decided he has to go. When he would go is not clear."

Botswana to expel Eritrean footballers

By Tefo Pheage
After a series of meetings and court battles, the government has rescinded its decision to grant the Eritrean players asylum, stating that the 10 must go and seek asylum elsewhere.
This is contained in a letter written by the Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security, permanent secretary, Segakweng Tsiane, to the United Nations refugee agency, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The agency is mandated to protect and support refugees at the request of a government or the UN itself and assist in their voluntary repatriation, local integration or resettlement to a third country.
The letter, which has been passed to this publication by sources at the ministry, warns the refugee agency to prepare for the eviction of the players and further says the Botswana government is not ready to grant the players asylum.
The government further says the agency must in the meantime find accommodation for the players as they will be evicted soon from Dukwi Refugee camp where they had been accommodated.
Information received by this publication is that the President and his
lieutenants have been huffing and puffing over the issue since the High Court ruled in the players' favour.
The harsh and reckless treatment of this group is likely to dent Botswana's decorated international image, according to experts. UNHCR has been left in shock by the decision and is still to make a move on the latest developments, especially that they are coming hot on the heels of government's decision to grant the players asylum.
Many thought the Defence minister, Shaw Kgathi was ready to retract his previous negative remarks against the Eritreans. The case is also likely to attract a lawsuit from the players' lawyers who have vowed to keep a close eye on the case.
Spokesperson for the Ministry Samma Tabudi said that she was not aware of the developments, but referred Mmegi to the deputy permanent secretary in the ministry Augustine Makgonatsotlhe.

Noel Gallagher releases his first new music in three years with High Flying Birds.
(Credit: Lawrence Watson)
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
Brother Liam beat him to the post-Oasis punch with the release of the Beady Eye record earlier this year, but not to be outdone Noel Gallagher says he has two albums ready to go. The first album just uses the band's name as its title; Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is scheduled to drop on Nov. 8 on Noel's own Sour Mash label. No dates have been announced yet, but Gallagher plans to take the Birds on the road after the release of the eponymous album and then put the second (as yet untitled) album out in 2012. The album, featuring London's in-demand Crouch End Festival Chorus, represents the first new music from Noel Gallagher in three years.
Glasses Malone: Beach Cruiser
The latest single from L.A.-based rapper Glasses Malone is called "Rich N Thuggin'," and Malone, while getting to the rich part, surely already knows about the thuggin'. Malone grew up between the crime-ridden neighborhoods of Watts and Compton where his family was involved in the drug trade and his mom went away for a 20-year stretch in the joint.
Ultimately Glasses turned away from his life as a member of the 7th Street Watts Crips to pursue a music career, and over the past five years or so he's sold tens of thousands of "street" albums. Now Cash Money Records is releasing his official debut album, Beach Cruiser.
"It represents the West Coast; slow, steady classic-ness," says Glasses, referring to beach cruiser bicycles. "That's how I want my music to be: just as timeless as a beach cruiser."
Ya Boy, Akon, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Rick Ross all guest on Beach Cruiser which drops on Aug. 30.
The Stripminers
The Stripminers will be releasing a collector's seven-inch featuring the songs "Movies," "Poison in the Paint" and "You Make Dyin' Fun" on the Suckerpunch label on Aug. 30. The L.A. alt-punk band came about when Brett Anderson of the Donnas and Paul Stinson of the Radishes began collaborating just for fun on what they thought was just a one-off project. The pair soon recruited DJ Bonebrake of X, Holland Greco, Brett Simons and producer/performer Scrote, and then they had a full-blown band on their hands.
To celebrate the release of the wax the Stripminers will play a set of fan favorites at the Sunset Junction Music Festival & Street Fair in Silver Lake on Aug. 27. A special limited (only 100 copies) Sunset Junction version of the record will be available at the show.
The Horrible Crowes
The Horrible Crowes, fronted by the Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon and longtime friend Ian Perkins, will perform their first live shows in September, including the unveiling of their debut album Elsie in its entirety at a show at the Troubadour on the 14th.
"With the Horrible Crowes it's more of a theater vibe," Fallon explains of the difference between his new band and the Gaslight Anthem. "It's something to be digested, not something to shock you into excitement like a big rock and roll show. I would almost look at it more as if you were going to the theater to see a show for the evening."
Gaslight Anthem guitarist Alex Rosamilia will sit in on keyboards for the night.
FIDLAR
What you need to know about FIDLAR: Hailing from Los Angeles, the band is made up of Zac, Elvis, Brandon, Ryan and Max. They started playing together in 2009 and after a year of leaking their demos with "found footage" music videos that glorified teenage breasts, shaking asses, smoking meth, shooting guns and the entire opening credits of Top Secret, FIDLAR have finally released their first seven-inch EP, fittingly titled DIYDUI.
There are four songs totaling about nine minutes of music on the collectible vinyl that comes to you via White Iris Records. You can watch the video for "Max Can't Surf," one of the EP's songs, on YouTube. And yes, FIDLAR is in all caps for a reason – it's an acronym. Fuck It Dog, Life's A Risk! Now you know.

How People Socialised Online In The Early 2000's
on August 19, 2019 5 min read
Communicating online is now ridiculously easy and is now second nature to pretty much everyone but back in the early noughties everything was a bit more fragmented and in some cases is sorely missed today.
Going online today is as normal as watching TV but back in the early 2000's you had to connect via dial up or very early broadband (1 Meg connection…Woah!) and we got online predominantly via hulking great big PC that was typically tucked away in the corner of the living room.
So before Facebook, Twitter and the other big social media and messenging platforms that seem to be the hub of most online communications today how did we communicate with each other online before all of this came along?
Let's look back and find out how many of us socialised online in the early 2000's.
MSN Messenger
Everyone had Windows and a hotmail account back in the day and with this you could also have MSN Messenger.
Microsoft's messaging platform was for many the first taste of communicating with your real life friends online and Skype today is the evolution of the platform and before everyone got all techie about talking to strangers online, MSN was a great way of speaking to random people from all over the world as long as you were careful.
Conversations would always include the abbreviated phrase ASL, which means Age, Sex, Location and luckily you could block people if they were a bit too weird or you could just say BRB and then log off or just block them.
Before Facebook there was MySpace and it was a colossus and was the place to be online for a time.
It's where the young and trendy went and hung out and chatted online, posted pics and memes (remember the ton of flashing gifs everywhere?) and waxed lyrical about the music they loved as well as promoted their own creations too.
It was one of the first platform where you could communicate directly with the bands and producers you loved at the time.
It was huge and you were cool if you had lots of followers from all over the world.
It's still around but its completely different to its early 2000's heyday and it got superseded really quickly by Facebook which is a fine example of nothing lasts forever if there ever was one.
Friends Reunited could have been a huge hit if it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to charge you for access to your old school friends which the majority of people who hadn't spoken to many of them since leaving school though 'Nah you're alright' in their droves.
Instead we all joined it, updated our bio and then when something new happened, logged back in and updated again.
Although it was fun to try and game the system by trying to cryptically add your email address in your bio so old chums could get in touch and it always failed but we'd keep trying.
Once Facebook came along it took about two seconds to find an old school friend, add them and say hi so that was the end of that pretty much.
Forums were great and pretty much every topic and interest out there had a forum and it was a great place to share knowledge and make online friends with people who had the same passions as you did.
From football to music to gaming and so on it gave us a community of people to talk to who shared the same love for it as you.
Yes there were heated discussions on a regular basis (grabs popcorn) where keyboard warrirs would go on a rant and there were even meetups to go to if you chose to where you could put a face to the avatar and usernames.
Luckily forums are still alive and kicking today and provide a great platform for the things that you have a passion for but your real life mates might not but back in the early 2000's these were huge and live on today.
There's also places like Reddit where even Retroheadz has a community page.
Dontstayin.com
If you were a clubber or raver in the early part of the noughties you probably had an account on Dontstayin.com
This trendy yellow and black designed site was the place to be to see random pics of yourself taken by friendly photographers whilst pulling an almighty gurn face in the venues and to look for and arrange with your raving and clubbing family where to go party next whether it be for some happy hardcore, trance or hard house everything that was happening was on there.
Sadly all the photos of your youth got deleted which was tragic as can be, although thinking about it now, was that a bad thing considering online is forever but not in Dontstayin's case.
For a time this was the place to be if you were in your late teens and early 20's and liked to party.
The peak of etiquette was to give shout outs on the event posts to all the members you met. Good times!
Online gaming was mainly for PC users only, although if you had a Dreamcast and it's keyboard you could chat to people in game too.
Now of course, online gaming is massive with Fortnite and PUBG and so on but back then it was really cool.
If you had a mate with you, one could chat whilst the other played which was a great tactic to use on games like Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 as you could keep the other player preoccupied whilst you sneak up with an army to defeat them.
Yes, we know bad form…but epic fun!
What wasn't fun was when you played on dial up and your parents got the phone bill. Whoops!
Everyone now things of email as a work thing or used for official correspondence but back in the day we also used to communicate with our friends to arrange trips or to talk with lots of friends at the same time.
When was the last time you used email for this purpose? Texting and instant messaging has pretty much replaced this.
Feeling Nostalgic?
Do you use these or did we miss one out that you used a lot? Did you prefer those days or are you happy things have moved on? Let us know in the comments below.

Clean, reliable, and affordable freshwater is an essential ingredient to our quality of life. It is vital for the health of our farms and ecosystems and a growing source of competitive advantage for our businesses. Compared to many states, we are blessed with an abundance of water resources. We have sound land management practices, as well as a progressive water code. But the supply of water varies across our state and the water supply, though renewable, is finite.
Water is local and public so that local communities are empowered.
Flexibility and adaptability in institutional approaches to water management is fundamental.
Participation, exchange and debate will foster new ideas and improve efficiency.
Cross-scale issues must be understood, recognized and addressed.
Oregon is making some progress in raising awareness of water issues since the 2008 Statewide Roundtable discussions, and the Oregon Integrated Water Resources Strategy which was undertaken by state government in 2009. The challenges are complex and will require a perspective that takes into account a long term planning and implementation horizon. This Initiative has been launched to maintain this perspective and build dialogue and partnerships for solutions. On one particular aspect of water policy-the use of the Columbia River for irrigation in Eastern Oregon is an immediate priority. This issue has been a hot button in the Oregon legislature for years but in 2012 Governor Kitzhaber appointed the Oregon Solutions Columbia River-Umatilla Solutions project to design actionable solutions that will give farmers access to more water while benefiting fish and in-stream uses.
Information. Provide access to information essential to adaptive management, and to education prerequisite to informed public and user dialogue.
Innovation. Facilitate development of and access to practices and technology as the basis for successful adaptive management of water.
Investment. Generate and deploy in a timely manner all resources to implement policy and technology.
Incentives. Encourage and facilitate use of policies that support water productivity, including but not limited to reuse, conservation, groundwater storage, demand management and markets.
Institutions. Coordinate management of water at and across the federal, state and local levels, as well as across user sectors at the basin scale.
The top near-term action is to implement strategies that will give farmers in Northeast Oregon increased access to water from the Columbia River for irrigation, while benefiting fish and other in-stream uses. The Governor launched the Columbia River-Umatilla Solutions Project in the Summer of 2012 to achieve this end. We hope to see a plan, agreed to by key stakeholders, by the December, 3 2012 Oregon Leadership Summit.
For the long term, the priority is to get the component pieces and players in place to allow movement of resources and ideas consistent with an enabling regulatory framework.
Develop institutional framework and partnerships needed for integrated water resource management, with appropriate integrated water basin authorities within a state-led framework.
Establish a system to provide access to Oregon water-related information, and identify sponsors and leadership, stable long-term funding, and authority for management, maintenance, and operations.
Plan for prioritized water innovation and infrastructure investments and monitored results. The backlog of upgrades needed for water infrastructure (built, renovated, and natural) to provide valued services under current conditions is substantial. We face a transition period during which public and/or private seed capital is required to conduct research, planning, development and proof of concept pilot projects such that upgrades will support sustainable water management into the future.

Deeply human traits are present in our closest primate relatives.
Humans and chimps share a common ancestor that lived between six and eight million years ago, a familial connection that means we share 98.8 percent of our DNA with our fellow great apes. Our genetic connection to chimpanzees is so great that some scientists have proposed they should be classified within the genus Homo, and a growing number of studies show they're just like us, caring for each other, practicing death rituals, and taking revenge on their enemies.
Now, a new study confirms what's perhaps the most human-like chimp characteristic of them all, supporting what Jane Goodall proposed during her time in Gombe National Park: Chimpanzees share many personality traits with humans, ranging from excitable and helpful to vulnerable and neurotic.
On Tuesday, scientists from the Scottish Primate Research Group reported in the journal Scientific Data that this study will hopefully lead to a "better understanding of the evolution of personality in chimpanzees and other primates" because animal personalities are increasingly being understood as products of natural selection.
Chimpanzees are among our closest living relatives.
The personality data were collected from observations of 128 chimpanzees, who either currently live or once lived in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania. Overall, the scientists were able to determine 460 personality ratings of 56 males and 72 females. The data were predominantly taken from recent observations of the chimps, while 24 of the personality profiles were based on the ratings of chimps assessed in a 1973 study. The same distinct personalities were observed both in the present and in the 1973 study, confirming their accuracy.
The actual observations were made by Tanzanian field assistants who filled out questionnaires originally designed to study personality in captive chimpanzee populations; here, they were used to assess wild chimps. Only a small number of primates have been studied demonstrating personality traits in the wild.
Chimp personality traits strongly overlap with humans.
In the Hominoid Personality Questionnaire the Tanzanian field attendants filled out, chimps were evaluated for the Big Five personality traits in humans (extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) and subset traits within these groups, like inventiveness and coolness. The researchers found that chimps consistently demonstrated these human personalities: For example, among most chimps, there was a positive association between aggressiveness and neuroticism, just as neurotic humans typically display anger and hostility.
While it's becoming more accepted in the scientific community that many animals, from spiders to squids, have personalities, the reasons why a range of personalities persist in these species remain a mystery. The working hypothesis is that different personalities allow "targeted selection" to take place: Certain personalities continue to exist because they're evolutionarily advantageous while other types are less favorable. The more an individual has to lose, the more cautious its personality — meaning that all those neurotic chimps are probably a lot like neurotic humans, worried about what out there in the world is going to get them.

A: The problem (for me) was in my newState definition.  Below is the correct definition:
const newState = (state, newData) => {
    return Object.assign([], state, newData);
}

My newState was converting my array to an object because I was using the wrong brackets - the Wrong Way is below.
const newState = (state, newData) => {
    return Object.assign({}, state, newData);
}

Good luck, I hope that helps,
Rob

A: Your extractData (and possibly also your HTTP API) is returning an object {} - ngFor requires an array [] to iterate.
Change your service/API to produce an array, or transform the object in your component.

A: I ran into this issue when I changed the WebApi I was calling to return a Task<IActionResult> instead of the previous IEnumerable<object>. Check the response isn't wrapped in an object. I had to change my extractData method to:
private extractData(res: Response) {
   let body = res.json();
   return body.result || body || { };
}

A: The best way is to take the NgForm object and call its reset() function.
Example:
Html file
<form #exampleform='ngForm'>

</form>

ts file
@ViewChild('exampleform') exampleform :NgForm;

this.exampleform.reset(); // resets the form

The Emotional Ramifications of Withdrawing from Treatment The Challenge of the Hospice Team
By Linda Katherine Reedy, LICSW, ACHP-SW, CNSW
Ongoing debate continues internationally over the issue of withdrawal from life-prolonging treatment and the perceived parallel to suicide or murder. High profile cases like that of Vincent Lambert in France or Tafida Raqueeb in England stimulate controversy and stir the emotions of the public. While individuals and communities are passionately arguing their personal and ethical positions over these cases, in the United States alone there are more than 15 million people living with cancer and 500,000 people with a diagnosis of end stage renal disease receiving dialysis treatments. This article will explore the multifaceted dilemma of withdrawal from life-prolonging treatment using case examples of patients suffering from cancer or end-stage renal disease, the specific needs of patients and their families, and how hospice professionals can facilitate a peaceful death.
The National Cancer Institute stated, "In 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people will die from the disease." Advancements in chemotherapy as well as the management of side effects from cancer treatment are made each year. Surgical procedures to remove tumors have improved with benefits of higher success rates and shorter recover periods. Combinations of treatments continue, such as chemotherapy and radiation with successive long-term medication regimes. Despite increasing options for treatment, including the availability of clinical trials, death will still be the end result for millions of Americans suffering from cancer.
The decision to withdraw from treatment is impacted by religion, family values, levels of pain and discomfort, finances, quality of life, and availability of emotional support.
"As long as the patient has been given all the relevant information about his or her treatment options and knows the risks and benefits of each option, including the risks and benefits of turning down treatment, the patient's wishes come first."
The Vermont Ethics Network
But what about the wishes of the family? A patient will often delay the decision to withdraw from treatment in order to protect loved ones from facing their own grief.
DeeDee, a married 45-year-old woman with twin 10-year-old girls had been battling breast cancer for 3 years. She received cutting edge care at the best cancer hospital in Boston and demanded every treatment available in order to live to see her daughters grow up. DeeDee's husband, Andre, was also a fighter, pushing DeeDee to continue treatment even after mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation had failed. During an oncology visit following a CT scan, DeeDee received the news that the cancer had metastasized to her bones. DeeDee was educated on the next clinic trial available but was warned that the possibility of slowing disease progression was slim. This was a turning point for DeeDee.
Once a productive worker and an involved mother with energy to spare, DeeDee was now unable to care for her children and had missed her daughters' last season of basketball. Lethargic, fighting nausea both day and night, bald, and feeling broken, DeeDee made the decision to stop treatment. Andre, unable to imagine life without her and unsure of his ability to parent the girls alone, became inconsolable and angry. DeeDee did not back down and, in fact, had been considering withdrawal for months. They returned home and together shared the decision with their daughters. A hospice intake was arranged for the next day.
The hospice social worker accompanied the nurse to the home due to the severity of DeeDee's condition and the fact that she was a young mother. While Andre drove to gather the girls from school, DeeDee chose to confide in the hospice team. The copays for her medications, out-of-pocket expenses, and deductibles were placing a heavy burden on their finances. Andre insisted on using their daughters' college savings. They were behind on their mortgage payments and risked losing their house. Without hope for a recovery, DeeDee would not allow her children to suffer any longer. DeeDee continued to cry as she told the hospice team that Andre had not touched her sexually since her mastectomy two years ago.
When the children and Andre returned home, the nurse thoughtfully reviewed her findings and outlined what to expect in the next days and weeks. Using her knowledge of breast cancer, the nurse validated the information the oncologist provided and assured the family that although DeeDee may be out of curative treatment options, comfort measures were still available. The social worker asked to speak with Andre alone and allowed him to share his disappointment over DeeDee's decision, his fears for his daughters, and his anguish at the thought of losing his wife. Using active listening, normalization, and anticipatory grief support, the social worker was able to help Andre accept his wife's decision and be available to his children in the following weeks.
During the intake visit, the daughters were not willing or able to share their feelings with their parents or the hospice team. The social worker's second visit was productive.
It was revealed that the girls had started to distance themselves from their mother when she began losing her hair. Frightened by their mother's weight loss and pained presentation and increasing awareness of her inability to keep up with their school work and activities, they began to lean on their best friend's mother. Additionally, the hospice chaplain made weekly visits to the family. With patience, encouragement, and creativity, the girls gradually felt connected to their mother again. DeeDee died during week 7 of her hospice engagement, in her own bed surrounded by her family. Andre did not seek bereavement support but arranged for his daughters to see the school adjustment counselor. The support received from the hospice team allowed DeeDee to die peacefully and the family to cope effectively with their loss.
Dialysis as a treatment for end-stage kidney disease consists of cleaning and removing fluid from the blood, the responsibility of functioning kidneys. There are three types of dialysis available: 1) hemodialysis 3 times per week for 3-4 hours per treatment, 2) peritoneal dialysis conducted at home 7 days per week for 8-10 hours per day, and 3) home hemodialysis conducted 5 out of 7 days per week, without two days off in a row, typically 3-4 hours each time. For some, dialysis can be a temporary solution until kidney transplantation can be achieved, but the current waiting time for a deceased donor kidney is 5-6 years, or 780, 1820, or 1300 treatments respectively. Moreover, the typical dialysis patient has an overwhelming pill burden—an average of 19 pills per day. Oftentimes, patients have multiple comorbid conditions which make dialysis more difficult to endure. Quality of life, work, finances, independence, and family time are greatly affected by life on dialysis. Patients are also faced with pressure from family members and friends to continue treatment.
"It may not be beneficial to prolong life with dialysis if the quality of life suffers dramatically. Prolonging life with dialysis may actually be prolonging the dying process for some patients, which is usually not desirable."
For patients ineligible for kidney transplant, the idea of life on dialysis is daunting and depressing.
"Discontinuing dialysis should never be considered in patients who can continue to lead a long and enjoyable life. If, however, a patient has kidney failure as a result of diabetes, has also gone blind, sustained double below-the-knee amputations of his legs, and is confined to his bed between trips to the dialysis clinic, he may question whether continuing dialysis is right for him."
When Julio made the decision to withdraw from dialysis, he was entering his 5th year of clinic-based hemodialysis every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 4 hours per treatment. Julio, a 68-year-old married man with children and grandchildren had been praying that his name would come to the top of the transplant list and that he would receive a kidney. A new diagnosis of colon cancer shattered his dreams. When added to diabetes and restless leg syndrome, dialysis became too difficult to endure. With the support of his nephrologist and dialysis team, Julio had a series of difficult conversations with his family and requested a hospice referral.
Julio asked to see the hospice chaplain immediately to share his guilt over "giving up" and to talk about his fear of not going to heaven. It was important to Julio that the hospice team understood what his life was like on dialysis, and how it affected his day-to-day functioning. The hospice social worker offered family meetings to help his adult children understand and cope and made a referral to massage therapy to ease Julio's pain and anxiety. The hospice nurse excelled in partnering with Julio's wife to teach her how to manage his symptoms and medications. Slowly, the family came to accept and admire Julio's bravery and strength and were grateful to enjoy and support him over his last 4 weeks.
Groundbreaking treatments, the development of new medications, the availability of extraordinary medical facilities, and the hope that if one can hold on, a cure might be discovered increases the burden on those living with serious illness and receiving life-prolonging interventions. Contemplating the emotional process of withdrawal from treatment can seem disheartening until the consequences of the treatment become unbearable.
"Many people are afraid that stopping treatment is equivalent to giving up hope. Stopping treatment does not mean that you are letting go of hope. Instead, it means honoring your hope to spend quality time with your family and be more comfortable in the days you have left."

I'm a new member and until now my main military interest has been WW1 naval history - which lead me to the Zeebrugge Raid of 1918.
This thread has left me wanting to know more; however my knowledge of the events at Dieppe is very limited. The thread provides a tremendous amount of detailed information and analysis; but as a novice I am finding it difficult to fully appreciate what is being discussed.
Could members suggest texts which I could use as a starting point?

Another rebuttal to the official story line. Arguing that the planned military failure was actually a successful operation in that it achieved the political objectives set for Jubilee.

I'd start with the Canaisan archive mateiral of wartime reports. . http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-dhp/his/rep-rap/cmhqr-rqgmc-eng.asp
Look at Colonel Stacey's preliminary report written within a month of the action.
and the other lenghty statements.
The report produced after Op Ovelrord is significant as well
One useful set of documents are the conference papers from the Assault Landings Conference held by ETOUSA in May -June 1943- nine months after Dieppe. These originally secret papers include a briefing on the Dieppe Raid and the lessons learned. by Hughes Hallett and Roberts and remarks by Haydon and the Combined Operations staff. The briefings explain to to the US Army, new to the ETO the British thinking about the problem of a cross channel assault in the light of the expereince of Dieppe. If the "official Line" about Op Jubilee was wrong and everything which followed was a cover-up it would have been both stupid and highly risky to train the Allies in tactics based on would have been known to be false lessons.

Hi Sheldrake
Thanks for the tips - I've have somewhere to start from now
4BnEYR, Feb 6, 2014
With four days to go to the 72nd anniversary, here is an aspect of the raid I never knew. These four showed considerable resolve.
Operations in France
M.I.9 - Partners in Evasion.
Four young French Canadians, all of whom had volunteered for the army soon after Canada entered the war in 1939, came to serve with M.I.9 by way of the raid on Dieppe by Allied forces in August 1942. The raid resulted in more than 3,000 Canadian casualties. Almost 1,000 of them were subsequently taken prisoner of war (POW) by the Germans.
Conrad LaFleur, Robert Vanier, Guy Joly and Lucien Dumais were part of this group of POWs. They all managed to escape from the Germans and get back to England. Incredibly, all four men then decided to return to France as secret agents with M.I.9, helping others to escape.
The secret service career of one of these unusual Dieppe Veterans Lucien Dumais – is a good example of just what these people were doing behind enemy lines and the risks they took to help others. Lucien Dumais of Montreal was a tough, 38-year-old sergeant of the Fusiliers Mont-Royal when he was captured by the Germans at Dieppe. After escaping and returning to England, he underwent four months of combat training with the British First Army in North Africa. Upon his return to England, dissatisfied with the routine of Army camp life, he volunteered for service with M.I.9. And so his path crossed with that of another Canadian whose craving for action and adventure led him to join the secret service.
Tall, dark-haired Raymond LaBrosse was 18 when he first went overseas in 1940 as a signalman with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. The British secret service agencies were chronically short of good wireless radio operators, especially those fluent in French. LaBrosse was approached by M.I.9 and subsequently became their first Canadian agent. His first mission into German-occupied France, however, ended abruptly when the network was infiltrated by the Gestapo and LaBrosse was forced to flee the country. He was eager to get back to France and renew his efforts.
Dumais later wrote a book about his experience: The Man Who Went Back

Your main thrust here is that OP Jubillee helped in the planning of Operation Overlord. Assuming I have this correct, let's discuss your earlier point that the establishment of a 'second front' posed a problem for the Germans and therefore relieved some of the pressure on the Soviets.
If that is the case, then somewhere in the planning files there must be supporting information as to what the Allies would have done had OP Jubillee been a success. Would the Allies be in a position to fast forward Overlord to August 20, 1942? Absolutely not.
So, the generals and the planners decided do a little raid on Dieppe and see what happens? Well, here are the facts.
Canadian KIA 907. Canadian wounded 586. Canadian captured 1,946. Combined British losses, either captured, wounded or killed amounted to 934.
From the document supplied by Wills here is the author's conclusion:
Operation Jubillee did not fail because of poor intel, a lack of preparation, or the loss of operational surprise. It failed because a plan that started out as a joint battle of land, sea and air forces had developed into an overly complex, scripted event that had no chance for success.
As the other Canadians on this thread have stated, OP Jubillee was a complete disaster and had little to do with the success of Overlord.
Nice debate, eh?
This is more than questionable : the results could have been better/the losses lower,but generally one could be satisfied .
Not following your point. Are you stating the Dieppe Raid to be a success?
Well,if one is looking at the aim of Jubilee,and at the results, I don't think one can say that Jubilee was a disaster .The losses were higher than expected,but,losses can not be used to determine if an operation was a success/failure .
You hold a high standard for what qualifies as a fiasco.
Your initial premise that the raid was conducted is questionable. With 4,300 casualties, virtually no attackers getting off the beaches and almost none of the objectives being met, it might be more accurate to say it was "attempted". Other than being pinned down on the beaches, the attacking force never really "held" anything of consequence during the limited time ashore.
The losses have always been regarded as grossly excessive for the results achieved.
Churchill, for one, called it a disaster and here in Canada it has not been treated as anything but a debacle. The mistreatment of those men by the Japanese during and after the battle has overshadowed the action itself. The fact that the Canadian contingent (2 battalions) was part of a much larger Commonwealth force and did not have full command and control made it less controversial.

We are experiencing a time difference. I have not checked your profile to find out what part of the world you call home.
To answer> a) Dieppe being held for at least 2 tides, but no one returning>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Suicide mission- let's get the Canadians.
b) The most important mission ( but not mentioned) was to bring back as much men as possible. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sheer absolute lunacy.
I am a Canadian. I have been there. I have spoken to Dieppe veterans. I have visited the cemetery. Any arguments stating this Dieppe was worth the effort is complete and utter horse excrement.
