The question is, what would be a fast way to parse this document?
What I've tried so far:

*

*Open an OleDbConnection using the Microsoft provider: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0}; Extended Properties='Excel 12.0; HDR = Yes; IMEX = 1'; which throws the following exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: 'External table is not in the expected format.' when trying to open a connection. I've also switched between Excel 12 and 8 with same result.

*Open the file using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging but it throws an error saying: System.IO.InvalidDataException: 'End of Central Directory record could not be found.' most likely because the file is not in a zipped archive specific to OpenXml structure.
using (SpreadsheetDocument spreadsheetDocument = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(filePath, false))
Even if I try to open the said file with Excel, it says that The format and extension don't match, and I agree. It's basically just an xml file renamed as xls, but still, it opens as an Excel spreadsheet.
Should I treat this as an actual XML or is there some parsing tool that can help me read this so called "xls" file?

March 2012: Shrewsbury win the Williams Cup
Mark Williams reports:
Six schools entered this competition which is for school teams of 6 players. The format is a round-robin where each school plays a two game match over 3 pairs against each of the other schools. Shrewsbury confirmed their current status as the leading Fives school at this level by beating all of the other schools, and only dropped one game in their 2nd pair match against St Olave's.
Their strength in depth and quality of play was evident all day, and they are worthy champions. St Olave's deservedly claimed the runners up place by defeating everyone else and had a strong first and second pair. Eton, Harrow, Westminster and Berkhamsted finished in that order, and competed strongly against each other. All had young players gaining invaluable experience. The consistent rain and very cold temperature were the only factors diminishing from a thoroughly worthwhile day's Fives.
1st Shrewsbury 29
2nd St.Olave's 22
3rd Eton 15
4th Harrow 11
5th Westminster 8
6th Berkhamsted 5

Previously at CB Bachelor Pad, Cristopher Bardh died at the age of 83. Annika flirted with his sons and grew up to elder. There was a beautiful funeral with a lovely dinner reception.
While unplayable, Annika has filled her aspiration panel. 3p!
So she skills up a bit and realizes she's got 3 bolts with her nextdoor neighbour Sixten Mossberg. Annika works to get to 10 different woohoos, so why not?
But then, he talks and talks for hours, and then he leaves.
So instead, Annika starts working on her highest match, Christoffer Montell, son of Sebastian Montell who's on second place.
She also tries to become real friends with Maud, her ex-husband's new wife.
There's something wrong with Kerstin Tidholm and this apartment complex. Even though Kerstin lives across town, she's stuck here, freeloading in the at the moment playable apartment, and falls asleep on the floors.
Annika has learned to live with that and mostly ignores her.
Time for a date with Christoffer!
Annika decides to give Sixten a new chance. She goes over to his place this time.
They do fall in love, with Sixten's young son present. Wonder if that will affect him in any way?
Look! The freeloader is making herself useful!
But usually she's just taking advantage of Annika's hospitality.
Louise Wern is willing, but Annika has no bolts for her.
Well, some sacrifices must be made in this world.
And even if she didn't reach her goal yet, she's well kissed!
Annika comes from one of the smallest families in Mattsmyra, the Lind branch. She's got one brother, David, and one daughter, Cecilia.
I take it this is the last generation living in the borked apartment?
What an awkward situation that would usually be in real life if someone decided to invite their ex-husband and his new wife over for dinner. Seems like it worked out ok for your sims though.
I find it funny this is the "bachelor pad" lot, but Annika is living there. :) The family gathering went well. I also think it's really funny that Annika just ignores her "house guest" who never leaves. I'm sure you will be glad to leave this particular lot behind.

Review: Nymphomaniac (Vols I & II)
Hidden Treasure: A High Wind In Jamaica
What makes a good fairy story? Archetypes aside, I'd say darkness, loss, and death. These elements also lurk at the core of the best children's stories – or at least the kinds of children's stories that continue to hover in the mind once most such things have been put away.
A great many such stories involve that threadbare theme, the "loss of innocence". But I have a particular fondness for those in which the supposed innocence is replaced by nothing at all – the kind of terrifying amorality that parents may find themselves catching glimpses of, but elect not to talk about. This is occasionally harnessed by lesser film-makers for the purposes of a hokey thriller, such as The Bad Seed or The Good Son, but to see it done well we need someone like Alexander Mackendrick.
Mackendrick made his name directing the best-loved of the Ealing comedies: Whiskey Galore, The Ladykillers, and The Man In The White Suit. His cynicism is particular keen in that one – Alec Guinness plays a perky scientist who invents a self-cleaning fabric, and is for his troubles crushed by a union of big capital and big labour, both fearful of the disruption it would bring. He also made Mandy, a real button-pusher of a movie about the struggle of a troubled family to raise a little deaf girl. Mandy is one of the few films that can make me cry. Honestly, it gets me every time. Anyway.
He then left for Hollywood, where he made what many regard as his masterpiece: The Sweet Smell of Success. His cynicism is back here, and in full force, in a tale of moral corruption and the corrosive effect of desperation in the world of New York gossip journalism. Ironically, Success turned out to be the peak of Mackendrick's own box office fortunes. Falling out with the producers, he was almost immediately kicked off his next project for them. He managed to make three more films before difficulties in obtaining further financing caused him to abandon directing completely, and instead take tenure at the University of Southern California. Unlike the happy cocoon of Ealing, freelancing in Hollywood had depended on being a great "deal-maker," he complained, and "I have no talent for that … I realised I was in the wrong business and got out."
Fortunately, the second of those final three movies was A High Wind In Jamaica; it's here that Mackendrick was able to to take Mandy's touching sensitivity to the emotional world of children and crash it into the brutal darkness of Success. For, aside from children, who else is known for living outside of the moral conventions of mainstream society? The answer, of course, is pirates.
A High Wind In Jamaica is based on the book of the same name, and follows the adventures of a family of children who are believed dead, but in fact have stowed away with a pirate crew (lead by their captain Anthony Quinn and second in command James Coburn). In one type of story this would be a jaunty romp with lots of yo-ho-ho and a cheeky parrot. In another type, it would be a much grimmer, traumatic voyage. The film's skill is in playing one possibility off against the other, never quite closing off the possibilities that it will resolve one way or the other. When the pirates make their first stop the kids roam around the port in a fun, high-spirited sort of way. Then the eldest boy sneaks upstairs in a brothel. Can you guess what happens next? If you guessed "he freaks out, jumps out of a third floor window, smashes his head in and dies," then you are correct. This is only made more disorienting by the fact that he's played by Martin Amis.
Without the relative maturity of their brother to anchor them, life for the remaining children takes on an increasingly unreal air. But it's when Gert Frobe (aka Goldfinger) turns up as a Dutch Captain that things really take a turn for the savage. Suffice to say, the original novel is regarded as the primary inspiration for The Lord of The Flies.
The trailer tries to sell it as a salty Technicolor yarn, perfect perhaps for a Sunday matinee… but the menace oozes through the screen.
This is a story where the children learn the hard way the difference between right and wrong – and then learn that maybe they just don't care. If children start their lives beyond good and evil then this is one story where, after a journey of growth and discovery, at least one decides to stay there.

On Philip Seymour Hoffman
We didn't want to add to the echo chamber about the cause and tragedy of his death, but given that quite a few of our favorite movies included one Philip Seymour Hoffman, it seemed fitting to each of us to say a few simple words about him.
The 25: Whitlock & Pope's Most Anticipated Films of 2014 – #10-1
10. A Most Wanted Man (TBD US & UK)
John Le Carre's based-on-true-events novel about morally ambiguous diplomacy during the modern War on Terror gets the big-streen treatment with an interesting ensemble cast (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Willem Defoe, Daniel Bruhl). People call Carre's work "the thinking man's thriller," which is a way of calling something a critical darling that doesn't do as well as movies where Tom Cruise rides motorcycles in the desert and does not-so-undercover spy work with sexy team members and explosions.
The film is directed by Anton Corbijn, who correctly surmised the appeal of George Clooney as a be-suited assassin in The American (which, in turn, was inspired by a Martin Booth's espio-novel A Very Private Gentleman–do I sense the pattern of A Very Thoughtful Spy Movie brewing?)
I plan on seeing this, not only for the cast and story, but also to esoterically humblebrag about this at my local beer garden while drinking a microbrew you've never heard of. –GW

Beautiful Secretary
The beautiful secretary of the president of a bank goes on a sight-seeing tour with a very rich African king who was a very important client. The client out of the blue asks her to marry him. Naturally, the secretary is quite taken aback. However, she remembers what her boss told her, don't reject the guy outright.
So, she tries to think of a way to dissuade the businessman from wanting to marry her. After a few minutes, the woman says to the man, "I will only marry you under three conditions. First, I want my engagement ring to be a 75-carat diamond ring with a matching 200-carat diamond tiara."
The African king pauses for awhile. Then, he nods his head and says, "No problem! I have. I have."
Realizing her first condition was too easy the woman says to the man, "I want you to build me a 100-room mansion in New York. As a vacation home, I want a chateau built in the middle of the best wine country in France."
The African king pauses for awhile. He whips out his cellular phone and calls some brokers in New York and in France. He looks at the woman, nods his head and says, "Okay, okay. I build. I build."
Realizing that she only has one last condition, the secretary knows that she'd better make this a good one. She takes her time to think and finally she gets an idea. A sure-to-work condition. She squints her eyes, looks at the man and says, rather coldly, "Since I like sex, I want the man I marry to have a 14-inch penis."
The man seems a bit disturbed. He cups his face with his hands and rests his elbows on the table, all the while muttering in African dialect.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the king shakes his head, looking really sad, and says to the woman, "Okay, okay. I cut. I cut."

Suspects in car seat theft caught after chase
By dailybreeze | dailybreeze@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: November 14, 2011 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 6, 2017 at 8:02 a.m.
WHITTIER – Two men who allegedly swiped a third row seat from a sport utility vehicle Monday were arrested after leading police on a chase and crashing into other cars.
Whittier police Lt. Randy Inman said one driver sustained minor injuries as a result of the collisions. Officers also found two third row seats in the suspects' vehicle.
One of the seats belonged to the SUV that was burglarized on Monday.
The incident began at 3:51 p.m. at a local shopping center. Inman said people were seen breaking into an SUV that was near the Ross store at 13510 Whittier Blvd.
Officers saw the getaway car leaving the area. The chase went up Greenleaf Avenue.
Inman said the suspects crashed into at least three vehicles at Greenleaf Avenue and Philadelphia Street.
The two uninjured suspects ran but were caught a short distance later.
Maurice Nuby, 18, of Compton was arrested on suspicion of vehicle burglary. Barry Denman, 18, who is the alleged driver of the getaway car, was arrested on suspicion of vehicle burglary and evading police. He is also from Compton.
Both men were booked at Whittier jail. Denman's bail is is $75,000 while Nuby's bail is $20,000.
Police haven't determined if the two men are also behind the recent spate of third row seat thefts in the city.
There have been 10 such thefts reported to police in the past month. Police said the thieves were targeting shopping centers during the middle of the day and taking the seats from full-size SUVs.

Who is responsible for this website and what is its purpose?
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) created FloridaHealthFinder.gov to provide easy access to health care information. The website began in 2000 and since then has been updated and expanded, gaining national recognition as a leader in health care transparency. Studies show that public reporting of provider performance is a key element that promotes enhanced patient care and consumer choice.
Through health care quality comparison tools, the health encyclopedia, and many other resources, Floridians can use this website to learn about medical conditions, compare health care facilities and providers, find health care resources, and much more.
What can I learn from the hospital and ambulatory surgery comparison tool?
The Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers comparison tool provides performance data for over 300 medical conditions and procedures in Florida's hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. This includes a range of charges, as well as the number of hospitalizations and the number of visits at ambulatory surgery centers. For hospitals it also includes the average length of stay; and rates for readmission, mortality, infections and complications. The hospital data includes a separate section for pediatric data and the results of a patient satisfaction survey.
For either type of facility, the user can make a selection based on health care conditions or procedures, facility name, and/or the geographic location of the facility. This information is updated on a quarterly basis.
What is the health plan comparison tool?
The Health Plan tool looks at Florida health care plans, including commercial HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations), commercial PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations), Florida Healthy Kids, Florida Medicaid and Medicare health plans. Comparison information includes a list of health plans available in each Florida County; quality of care indicators like screening or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, well-child visits, etc.; and member satisfaction survey results.
What other comparison tools are available?
The Physician comparison tool allows consumers to compare physicians by the number of surgeries performed during one year, for: total hip and total knee replacement, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and spinal fusion.

The Nursing Home Guide provides a star rating of nursing homes based on their inspection reports.
The Prescription Drug Prices link goes to MyFlorida.Rx.com where you can compare drug prices on the top 300 most commonly used prescription drugs at pharmacies in your community. The website lists retail prices, which is what an uninsured consumer, with no discount or drug coverage, would pay.
What types of quality measures are displayed?
Readmission Rates – The hospital readmission rates are based on patients readmitted to the same facility or another short term acute care hospital within 15 days of the original admission for the same or related condition. This rate is assigned to the hospital that first admitted the patient regardless of where the patient is readmitted.
Mortality Rates – These measures reflect the quality of care given in hospitals. They include measures of mortality for selected medical conditions and surgical procedures; utilization of procedures for which there is overuse, underuse and misuse; and volume of procedures for which there is some evidence that a higher volume of procedures is associated with lower mortality.
Complication and Infection Rates – These measures help identify potentially preventable complications and infections that may occur during hospitalization. These indicators provide an initial measure of inpatient complications following surgeries, medical procedures, and childbirth.
Pediatric Measures – These measures provide a perspective on quality of pediatric healthcare. Specifically, they screen for problems that pediatric patients experience as a result of exposure to the healthcare system and that may be amenable to prevention by changes at the system or provider level.
How can I find health care facilities in Florida?
Click Facilities or Providers in the Locate section on the homepage to pull up a list of health care facilities and providers. On the search tool choose the facility/provider type then you can make other choices on the search tool (like county or city), if you wish, or click "Search" to get a statewide list.

Choosing a primary care physician can be a very personal decision. After all, this is the doctor who will be managing the health of you and your family for years to come.
Primary care physicians (PCPs) treat common medical problems and help patients manage their overall health by recommending screenings, making referrals, encouraging healthy habits and much more.
"As the name implies, a primary care physician is usually the 'first stop' when a patient is in need of care," says Dr. Christine Jose, a primary care physician at Straub Medical Center.
Doctors in the fields of internal medicine, family medicine, general practice and pediatrics are designated as PCPs and can meet your general medical needs – from helping you schedule preventive care exams to keeping you healthy through each stage of life.
Family medicine physicians are doctors whose practice includes treating children and adults of all ages, and may include obstetrics and minor surgery.
Pediatricians are doctors who provide care for newborns, infants, children and adolescents.
Internists are doctors who specialize in adult care and treat a variety of medical conditions.
Be sure to note that all of the above PCPs must have completed a residency in and be board certified or board eligible in their respective specialties.
"A lot of conditions can be handled by the PCP; they serve as the home-base of patients' medical care," says Jose, who specializes in internal medicine and accepts patients ages 18 and older.
When choosing a PCP, keep in mind your insurance plan and what it covers before narrowing down your options.
Where is the office located? What are its hours? Are they convenient for your schedule?
How does the provider prefer to communicate? If you favor a phone call while the provider always emails, it may not be a good match.
Do you want a provider whose focus is on disease treatment or wellness and prevention?

Q: MVVM light can't work in Windows 10 Universal app I tried to use MVVMLight in our Windows 10 Universal app, but it seems like that it totally can't work. I've seen this blog

Nuget downloaded and added a reference to the MVVM Light assemblies
Nuget also added the ViewModelLocator in the Application.Resources.

Can't see the Locator in Application.Resources

A: You need to create the ViewModelLocator manually, please follow these steps:

*

*Create a new Windows 10 Universal app, for example: MVVMLightUWPApp1

*Add reference to MVVMLight using NuGet Package Manager

*Add a folder for your UWP app, for example: ViewModel

*Under the ViewModel folder, add two classes: MainViewModel and ViewModelLocator

In MainViewModel.cs:
namespace MVVMLightUWPApp1.ViewModel
{
    public class MainViewModel
    {
        public string MSG { get; set; }
        public MainViewModel()
        {
            MSG = "Test Message";
        }
    }
}

In ViewModelLocator.cs:
namespace MVVMLightUWPApp1.ViewModel
{
    public class ViewModelLocator
    {/// <summary>
     /// Initializes a new instance of the ViewModelLocator class.
     /// </summary>
        public ViewModelLocator()
        {
            ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => SimpleIoc.Default);

            ////if (ViewModelBase.IsInDesignModeStatic)
            ////{
            ////    // Create design time view services and models
            ////    SimpleIoc.Default.Register<IDataService, DesignDataService>();
            ////}
            ////else
            ////{
            ////    // Create run time view services and models
            ////    SimpleIoc.Default.Register<IDataService, DataService>();
            ////}

            SimpleIoc.Default.Register<MainViewModel>();
        }

        public MainViewModel Main
        {
            get
            {
                return ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<MainViewModel>();
            }
        }

        public static void Cleanup()
        {
            // TODO Clear the ViewModels
        }
    }
}

*In App.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
   <vm:ViewModelLocator xmlns:vm="using:MVVMLightUWPApp1.ViewModel"
                               x:Key="Locator" />
</Application.Resources>

*In the View, set DataContext as below:
DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}"

*Now, you can set binding to VM, for example:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MSG}" FontSize="50" />

Enjoy it:)

Nursing administrators can work in offices in healthcare facilities, including group medical practices, hospitals and nursing homes. According to the BLS, the median annual wage for medical and health services managers in 2012 was $88,580. Compensation is subject to the type of job, location and experience, as well as other factors.
Some online schools also offer nursing administration degrees and certificate programs. These programs allow candidates to study from their home and complete a program at their own pace. As the online programs are highly flexible, they can be helpful for the ones who want to maintain a balance between their personal and professional lives.
Nursing administrators can continue to improve their knowledge and skills by enrolling in continuing education programs. They can pursue certification programs such as those of Nurse Executive - Board Certified and the Nurse Executive Advanced - Board Certified. Candidates need to hold an RN license and a BSN degree to become eligible for this certification.

rocky's bru: Jay cleared by Board: Bad news or good news?
Jay cleared by Board: Bad news or good news?
Updated 20/5: On his widely-followed Instagram account, Nazir thanked his Board members. End of story.
His detractors, of course, will have a good laugh at the news that the CIMB board had found their own Chairman and former CEO Nazir Razak innocent of the charge that he had misused his position with regards to money in his personal account meant to be disbursed to certain politicians (do read the MalayMail Online story h e r e).
"As opposed to the Islamic Bank CEO who "abused" his position via a FB posting?"
"That means the BOD of CIMB condones the bank staff in distributing political funds? If so - did the Bank review who the monies were paid to? Was there audit of all Nazirs transactions?"
"Why not an independent enquiry but an internal, you can't investigate yourself ? Why not call MACC to do the investigations?"
"Seems to appear like a conduit to clear name - very much like the DAP clearing LGE over his bungalow purchase before MACC starts investigation!"
In any case, in a very related development, the Bank Negara is said to be looking at New banking rules to ensure that a former chief executive of a bank will never again be table to take over as Chairman of the bank's Board.
Ops...lupa pulak. Kalau di Negara-Kapiaq, dia ngan abang dia sekali, dah lama bungkus.
Obviously what Nazir had done by receiving money in his personal account the amouny RM28 MILLION is illegal.
Bank Negara should have queried Nazir Razak for this huge amount under the Anti Money Laundering Act.
Nazir is morally and technically incompetent if he doesnt realize this is money laundering. His brother use him as he can be trusted, family, to disburse the money for illegal purpose.
This kind of people has no place in our banking system as he has proven to be untrustworthy.
LHDN must do its duty to ask for details for taxation.
Nazir Razak is guilty of money laundering by his own admission. His regret can be mitigating but he belongs behind bar like corrupt criminal he is.
Yes, the CIMB board should have gone one step further to investigate the transactions and find out what exactly was Nazir doing with the money transfers. Did it break AMLA or BNM guidelines ? But then, they had to just investigate Nazir and clear him. The scope was set so the investigation team has to follow the scope and not investigate anything more than that. Sounds silly right ? Wrong !
The same went on with the 1mdb probe by the Task Force and PAC. Puiii !!
The ANC said they expected Najib be exonerated by PAC and AG. And they were clamouring over every other remark of Nazir.
Time to turn the table. Expected the Board to exonerate Jay too. One because BOD does not want to get in trouble with the ANC. Secondly because he is Najib's brother.
Strange, now the critics are suing!

* For deleting the core engine's historical data, you could write SQL scripts to delete data from tables with prefix ACT_HI_*

###### Option 2 - Using APIs
* Query for historical process instances, historyService.createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().finishedBefore(endDate).list()
* Iterate over each of them and do a delete historyService.deleteHistoricProcessInstance(processInstanceId). This will delete all the associated tasks, activities, variables, identitylinks, comments etc from history table.
* If you use standalone tasks (not attached to process instance), you may want to cleanup that too in a similar way using APIs as mentioned above.
* historyService.createHistoricTaskInstanceQuery().taskCompletedBefore(endDate).list()
* history.deleteHistoricTaskInstance(taskId);

### Cleaning up additional tables

Some of the other tables you may want to clean up are:
* ACT_EVT_LOG (if events are turned on)
* PROCESSED_ACTIVITI_EVENTS (provided you are using Alfresco Process Services' event processing feature)
* RUNTIME_DECISION_AUDIT (Alfresco Process Services' DMN feature)
* SAVED_FORM (only if you are using Alfresco Process Services' forms)
* SUBMITTED_FORM (only if you are using Alfresco Process Services' forms)
There are no Delete APIs over the above entities. You can cleanup those tables using SQL scripts. All these tables have a ProcessInstanceId/TaskId column which you can use to make sure that you are not deleting any entries where there are valid entries in ACT_HI_PROCINST and/or ACT_HI_TASKINST tables.

### Alfresco Process Services' Content Cleanup
The following two tables holds process content metadata information and the actual local content is store on file system.
* CONTENT_RENDITION
* RELATED_CONTENT

###### Option 1 - Using APIs
* There is an API (JAVA as well as REST) that will let you delete both the metadata (from DB) and the actual content from file system.

###### Option 2 - Using SQL Scripts & Shell Scripts
* If you want to delete these entries using plain SQL scripts & files using shell scripts, you may want to convert all the STORE_ID data in your RELATED_CONTENT table to actual file system paths before you delete the data base entries. There is a utility class called PathConverter.java in the Alfresco Process Services java dependencies that will let you convert the Store ID to Path. I have an example here. Once you have all the file paths, you can delete them using shell scripts.

* RELATED_CONTENT table contains a ProcessInstanceId/TaskId column which you can use to make sure that you are not deleting any entries where there are valid entries in ACT_HI_PROCINST and/or ACT_HI_TASKINST tables.

### Cleanup of Dev environment
MODEL_HISTORY table is another table you may consider cleaning up in your development environment. But this should not be big in UAT/Prod etc
Another idea is to implement all the above logic as a process and let it run every day (using a timer start event).

In today's world, kids no longer stroll down the aisles of toy stores looking for what they want. In fact, they don't even watch regular commercials much anymore – they find what they want in unboxing videos on YouTube, and now – there's a toy for that!
Today's younger generation is obsessed with unboxing videos that show people getting a new toy in the mail and opening it right before their eyes. There's something about seeing the process unfold that appeals to kids of all ages (and adults, too).
The L.O.L. Surprise Bigger Surprise toy is the ultimate unboxing experience because as you open one item, there's an even bigger surprise waiting for you inside that. All in all, this particular toy has a whopping 60-plus toys inside this one bag, so it's guaranteed to excite your little one.
The toys are a mix of dolls and fun accessories that they'll love playing with once the unboxing experience is over. You may even want to record the unboxing process so they can watch it back and revel in the fact that they're as good as any YouTube star!
The toys inside the surprise bag include a couple of limited edition L.O.L Surprise dolls that can't be found elsewhere. Both of these dolls each come with seven surprises. There's also a limited edition pet that can't be found elsewhere, and it comes with its own set of seven surprises.
Your child will also find a limited edition doll that's an L.O.L Surprise little sister doll, and she comes with five special surprises. But the dolls and their surprises aren't all that's included.
Your child will also find accessories for them – including a dozen plastic hairstyles, six hair pieces they can brush, six face masks, a spyglass, and ten more accessories. And of course, you can't forget the carrying case that the collectibles will all fit into.
The spyglass is a special accessory that fits into the tale about the pet going missing, and the dolls are on a mission to go find it! There are surprise clues and messages they can decode in the spy series that will help them locate the pet.
Kids who are accustomed to getting their L.O.L Dolls in the big balls will delight in finding out that they now have some very rare, limited edition ones that can't be found in the capsules. The wigs are a big hit, too. Kids love being able to change things up. These dolls are recommended for ages five and up.
Just want a doll? Try the L.O.L. Surprise! Doll.

This revised and enlarged second edition of the popular textbook and reference contains comprehensive treatments of both the established foundations of magnetic fusion plasma physics and of the newly developing areas of active research. It concludes with a look ahead to fusion power reactors of the future. The well-established topics of fusion plasma physics — basic plasma phenomena, Coulomb scattering, drifts of charged particles in magnetic and electric fields, plasma confinement by magnetic fields, kinetic and fluid collective plasma theories, plasma equilibria and flux surface geometry, plasma waves and instabilities, classical and neoclassical transport, plasma-materials interactions, radiation, etc. — are fully developed from first principles through to the computational models employed in modern plasma physics.
The new and emerging topics of fusion plasma physics research — fluctuation-driven plasma transport and gyrokinetic/gyrofluid computational methodology, the physics of the divertor, neutral atom recycling and transport, impurity ion transport, the physics of the plasma edge (diffusive and non-diffusive transport, MARFEs, ELMs, the L-H transition, thermal-radiative instabilities, shear suppression of transport, velocity spin-up), etc. — are comprehensively developed and related to the experimental evidence. Operational limits on the performance of future fusion reactors are developed from plasma physics and engineering constraints, and conceptual designs of future fusion power reactors are discussed.
Professor Stacey received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966. He then worked in naval reactor design at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory and led the fast reactor theory and computations and the fusion research programs at Argonne National Laboratory. In 1977, he became Callaway Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he has been teaching and performing research in reactor physics and plasma physics. He is the author of six books and about 250 research papers. He led the international INTOR Workshop which defined the design features and R&D needs for the first fusion experimental reactor, for which he received the US Dept. of Energy Distinguished Associate Award. Professor Stacey is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society and of the American Physical Society and is the recipient of, among other awards, the Seaborg Award for Nuclear Research and the Wigner Reactor Physics Award from the American Nuclear Society.

How Surgical Fires Start
Surgical fires are fires that occur in, on or around a patient who is undergoing a medical or surgical procedure. Surgical fires can occur any time all three elements of the fire triangle are present:
Ignition source (for example, electrosurgical units (ESUs), lasers, and fiberoptic light sources)
Fuel source (for example, surgical drapes, alcohol-based skin preparation agents, the patient)
Oxidizer (for example, oxygen, nitrous oxide, room air)
Materials that may not burn in room air can ignite easily and burn fiercely in an oxygen-enriched environment (a situation when the concentration of oxygen is greater than in ordinary room air). In fact, most surgical fires occur in an oxygen-enriched environment.
Other factors also increase the risk of fire. For example, alcohol-based skin preparation agents are very flammable when still wet. The placement of surgical drapes (such as when they are placed in a way that allows oxygen to pool under them), and the handling of ignition sources (such as resting hot ignition sources on the drapes) may also increase the chance that a surgical fire will occur.
Fires burn hotter and faster in an oxygen enriched environment. The image above shows a nasal cannula set on fire in room air (left) and in an oxygen enriched environment (right). Courtesy of Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation.

Cabinet approves MoU on scientific and technical cooperation between India, UAE
The MoU provides for sharing of knowledge, data and operational products for meteorological, seismological and oceanic services such as radar, satellite, tide gauges, seismic and meteorological stations.
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on scientific and technical cooperation between the Ministry of Earth Sciences and the National Centre of Meteorology of the UAE, according to a statement.
The pact will pave the way for deployment of meteorological observation networks on mutual agreement over ocean waters, cooperation in the development of special capacities of tsunami models researches for their faster and more reliable forecasts propagating through the Oman Sea and the Arabian Sea which affect the coastal areas of India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The MoU will also enable cooperation to support the Tsunami Early Warning Centre (TEWC) in the form of forecast modelling software, specifically designed to support tsunami forecasting operations.
It further specifies sharing the real-time seismic data of some of the seismic stations situated in south and west of India and north of the UAE for monitoring the seismic activities which may generate tsunami in the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman.
Cooperation in early warnings of sand and dust storms through the exchange of knowledge is also envisaged under the MoU, according to the statement.
This will also enable exchange of visits in terms of scientists, research scholars and specialists for the purpose of research, training, consultation, focused on climatic information services, satellite data utilisation for now casting and tropical cyclones forecasting.
The MoU will facilitate exchange of scientific and technical information related to common interest activities and organise bilateral seminars, workshops, conferences and training courses on problems related to the fields of cooperation mentioned in the MoU and of interest to both countries.
Collaborative participation within the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of the UAE in terms of activities related to multi-hazard early warning systems and climate resilience can significantly contribute to economic growth in the region, the statement added.
Various scientific activities being carried out by institutes in India and the UAE were discussed during a UAE delegation's visit to the MoES on November 8, 2019 and many common areas of research were found.
Both sides showed interest in the scientific and technical collaborations faster and more reliable forecasts of tsunamis.

Abstract—In augmented reality (AR) applications, accurately registering a virtual object with its real counterpart is a challenging problem. The size, depth, and geometry, as well as the physical attributes of the virtual object, have to be rendered precisely relative to a physical reference. This paper presents a systematic calibration process to address the registration challenge in a custom-designed AR system, which is based upon recent head-mounted projective display (HMPD) technology. Following a concise review of the HMPD concept and our system configuration, we first present a computational model of the HMPD viewing system and requirements for the system calibration. Then, we describe, in detail, the calibration procedures to obtain estimates of unknown transformations, summarize the application of the estimates in a customized graphics rendering toolkit, and discuss the evaluation experiments and observations. Finally, the implementation of a testbed to demonstrate a successful registration is briefly described, and experimental results are presented.

Abstract — With the growing availability of optical see-through (OST) head-mounted displays (HMDs), there is a present need for robust, uncomplicated, and automatic calibration methods suited for non-expert users. This work presents the results of a user study which both objectively and subjectively examines registration accuracy produced by three OST HMD calibration methods: (1) SPAAM, (2) Degraded SPAAM, and (3) Recycled INDICA, a recently developed semi-automatic calibration method. Accuracy metrics used for evaluation include subject provided quality values and error between perceived and absolute registration coordinates. Our results show all three calibration methods produce very accurate registration in the horizontal direction but caused subjects to perceive the distance of virtual objects to be closer than intended. Surprisingly, the semi-automatic calibration method produced more accurate registration vertically and in perceived object distance overall. User assessed quality values were also the highest for Recycled INDICA, particularly when objects were shown at distance. The results of this study confirm that Recycled INDICA is capable of producing equal or superior on-screen registration compared to common OST HMD calibration methods. We also identify a potential hazard in using reprojection error as a quantitative analysis technique to predict registration accuracy. We conclude with discussing the further need for examining INDICA calibration in binocular HMD systems, and the present possibility for creation of a closed-loop continuous calibration method for OST Augmented Reality.

Abstract—Head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow users to observe virtual environments (VEs) from an egocentric perspective. How-ever, several experiments have provided evidence that egocentric distances are perceived as compressed in VEs relative to the real world. Recent experiments suggest that the virtual view frustum set for rendering the VE has an essential impact on the user's estimation of distances. In this article we analyze if distance estimation can be improved by calibrating the view frustum for a given HMD and user. Unfortunately, in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment, a full per user calibration is not trivial and manual per user adjustment often leads to mini- or magnification of the scene. Therefore, we propose a novel per user calibration approach with optical see-through displays commonly used in augmented reality (AR). This calibration takes advantage of a geometric scheme based on 2D point – 3D line correspondences, which can be used intuitively by inexperienced users and requires less than a minute to complete. The required user interaction is based on taking aim at a distant target marker with a close marker, which ensures non-planar measurements covering a large area of the interaction space while also reducing the number of required measurements to five. We found the tendency that a calibrated view frustum reduced the average distance underestimation of users in an immersive VR environment, but even the correctly calibrated view frustum could not entirely compensate for the distance underestimation effects.

A day after Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was found legally responsible for her death, her father, Bobby Brown, honored her legacy on social media.
The veteran R&B singer went on his Instagram page and posted a beautiful painting of himself hugging Bobbi Kristina when she was a baby to her adulthood. The hashtags say it all: #IGOTEM #Babygirl #daddyalwaysgotyourback #justiceforbobbikristina.
The suit also claims that Gordon transferred money from Brown's account into his own without authorization. No criminal charges have been filed against Gordon.
In a statement to E! News, Brown said, "I am pleased with the outcome of today's court proceedings. All I ever wanted was answers relating to who and what caused my daughter's death. Today's judgment tells me it was Nick Gordon. Now I need to process all the emotions I have and lean on God to get me and my family through this."
Bobby Brown recently welcomed his third baby with his current wife, Alicia Etheredge, in July.

In his work, calls Cervantes many towns and villages located in the province of La Mancha, where he is the main action of the novel, but the author at the beginning of the work notes that this is a place in La Mancha, where he lived and where he went in his travels in search of adventure 'knight image' sadness, he deliberately failed to call. So much for plot. Because so happy and now Spanish researchers. Cervantes himself was born in 1557 near Madrid in the family physician. He studied at the humanistic school, is constantly engaged in self-education, I read a lot.
In 1571 he went into the army and took part in the war with the Turks, Spaniards, where a naval battle was seriously wounded in the left arm. Then he got to the captivity in Algiers, from which it was purchased in 1580. Some time later, Cervantes left the army and actually then devoted himself to literary work. His legacy is a dramatic and reserve, among which the most famous piece is «Numancia.» In 1613, saw his world 'Instructive tale', and in 1614 – 'SideShow'. But the most outstanding work of the writer think the novel 'Don Quixote', the first part of which was published in 1605, and the second – 1615. It was believed that 'Don Quixote' was conceived as a parody chivalry, who are interested in Cervantes's contemporaries.
Also thought it was a satire on the whole feudal world and bright, lifelike picture of Spanish life, and Don Quixote is a representative of the small feudal nobility. He is unselfish, visionary, and this is indicative of his battle with windmills, a herd of sheep, dreams of a golden age of the past. Perhaps, today, at the beginning of the third millennium, a knight who does not stands firmly on the ground (but can he then be a true romantic!) can not be a hero, because these are the only successful people who win, because the world as we know from advertising, belongs to the first.

Kierkegaard, Religion, and Culture Unit
This Unit seeks to explore the significance of the religious thought and ethics of Kierkegaard for contemporary culture in its various aspects — social, political, ecclesiastical, theological, philosophical, and aesthetic.
● Kierkegaard on Alterity: Fear, Difference, and Our Shared Humanity -
The fear of otherness or difference is at the heart of the polarization plaguing contemporary society in the United States and elsewhere. Kierkegaard's interpretation of the love command—love of God and love of neighbor—in the Judeo-Christian scriptures seems to shed light on this problem by illuminating both the distinctiveness and kinship of all human beings. For example, in Works of Love, he indicates that precisely because God serves as the "middle term" between individuals, in loving God we are called to recognize others as our "neighbors," as ones close to us. Loving our neighbors in God not only "deeply and forever memorably imprint[s] the kinship of all human beings" on us, but in bringing others close to us, it also allows us to overcome the social stratifications and divisions through which "people are inhumanly separated one from another." This shared humanity in God, insists Kierkegaard, does not eradicate or preclude our distinctiveness or difference. For, in being "neighbors" to each other, we are not called to reduce others to our own individual terms. Rather, the other person is a "You," not another "I." Kierkegaard underscores this point in "The Present Age," where he maintains that religion retains and values each person's individuality or uniqueness along with their kinship to others.
Postmodern thinkers, however, have longed argued that the love command is inadequate for dealing with alterity. For many of them, the command to love the other as yourself vitiates the very otherness of the other. With such a critique of the love command and Christianity, one might view Kierkegaard's own avowed critiques of modern politics as only furthering the wedge between the religious and the political. After all, Kierkegaard himself wrote in a journal entry that "political service and religious service relate to each other altogether inversely, inasmuch as politically everything turns on getting numbers of people on one's side, but religiously on having God on one's side." To what extent, then, can Kierkegaard help us to comprehend and to critique the fear of difference that besets our modern political responses to what ought to be, and to what he envisioned as, our shared humanity? To what extent does he contribute to our understanding of the problem of alterity?
This session invites proposals that address the disparate aspects of Kierkegaard's authorship, the relationship that he establishes between the religious and the political, in order to probe the question of alterity in Kierkegaard's texts—the extent to which his texts are other than themselves and the depths to which Kierkegaard allows his readers to address the fear—the denigration—of difference.

Why do universities hesitate to fund student backcountry clubs?
In today's growing popularity of backcountry skiing, students are creating and joining backcountry clubs in droves. This poses a dillema for universities, because unlike on piste skiing, there are signifigantly more costs and saftey concerns involved.
Backcountry skiing is a dangerous sport, and that makes it a liability - something that most colleges shy away from, lest something happen that can be jumped on by the circling lawyers. Not only that, but it's expensive. Presumably, the majority of students that would join backcountry clubs would have their own touring setups, but what if a club wants to have rental equipment - or rent a hut for a weekend? Schools with a limited budget for student activities are more liable to throw money at less exclusive activities, like a chess club, or a club based around resort skiing.
And clubs like those are a lot easier to get schools behind, because they remove a lot of the variabilities that are involved with backcountry skiing. Avalanche danger, inexperience, and group mentalities are mostly negated. So a proper backcountry club really has to make their case based on having experienced members. At my university's backcountry club, the popular saying among club officers is "We're not guides", and they can't stress that enough. These club trips aren't for learning, and there's too many negatives to bringing people new to the sport.
But, backcountry clubs at universities are awesome ways to meet people that are just as passionate about the sport as anyone else. And if you are one of those newcomers, many clubs offer discounts on Avy classes and guide services, in order to promote membership and safety. And in a sport as exclusive as backcountry skiing, it's nice too see this kind of welcoming attitude.

Zika Threat Heightens Stress For Expectant Mothers in South Texas
South Texas doctors are busy counseling their pregnant patients on how to protect their babies from the horrible birth defects that Zika can cause.
By Wendy RigbyAugust 23, 2016 9:30 amHealth & Science, Texas Newsroom, Texas Public Radio
Wendy Rigby/Texas Public Radio
Elizabeth Viccellio listens to the heart beat of her unborn baby by doppler. Dr. Patrick Ramsey is her physician.
From Texas Public Radio:
The steady beat of her unborn baby's heart is a comfort for Elizabeth Viccellio. She lives in Brackettville, 35 miles from the border with Mexico, a country where Zika is already being spread by mosquitoes. But the health threat really hasn't been on her radar.
"I've heard some things about it," Elizabeth Viccellio said. "I haven't really followed too much. I don't have that many concerns 'cause I don't really feel like it's here where it's a big deal."
No local Texas Zika cases yet
It's true that no cases of local transmission by mosquitoes have shown up in Texas. Yet. Many infectious disease specialists say it's not a matter of if, but when. A year ago, many obstetricians had never heard of this virus. Maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Patrick Ramsey of University Health System says now Texans have to pay attention.
"So that means we all need to be using mosquito repellents," Ramsey cautioned. "We all should be trying to avoid travel to countries where there might be Zika infections prevalent. Because once the mosquito population does have the Zika virus then it can spread to anybody, men or women."
Zika prevention methods
Women infected with Zika during the early stages of pregnancy have up to a 13 percent chance of delivering a baby with a small head and brain damage, a devastating condition called microcephaly plaguing several thousand babies in Brazil. It's unclear what health problems Zika infections can cause in the second and third trimesters. Microcephaly causes seizures, learning issues, vision loss and feeding problems.
