Cree slows 6-inch transition; expects consolidation
But LED chip and component manufacturer says acceleration of price-per-lumen curve is pushing adoption of solid-state lighting.
Cree CEO Chuck Swoboda
LED maker Cree has slowed the rate of its transition to manufacturing chips on a larger wafer platform, in a bid to maintain higher factory utilization levels and profitability.
While the market for LED lighting continues to grow, it is still at an early stage and the excess level of LED chips in the supply chain is tempering overall demand and pushing down prices.
Cree has begun to transition its production from 100 mm (4-inch) to 150 mm (6-inch) wafers, a move that will ultimately yield a substantial boost to its output and productivity – and make the chips even cheaper. But CEO Chuck Swoboda said that the move would be delayed so that costs can be kept in check. The full transition to the larger size is now expected to take place over the next three to six financial quarters, he said.
For the latest three months, ending Christmas Day 2011, the North Carolina company posted total revenues of $304 million, up 18% year-on-year. That increase is largely a result of Cree's recent acquisition of Ruud Lighting, however, and masks an 8% fall in sales of LED products over the same period.
The latest quarter represented the first full quarter of Ruud Lighting contributions to Cree's sales, and sales of lighting products were $95.7 million – comparing with typical quarterly lighting sales of around $20 million prior to the Ruud deal.
"Our second-quarter results demonstrated the strength in our expanded lighting product line with strong growth in sales of both indoor and outdoor products," noted Swoboda. "While the business environment remains challenging, our results demonstrate that our strategy is working."
Margin impact
One trend that is highly evident in the emerging market for solid-state lighting is the continued sharp decrease in the average selling prices (ASPs) of LED chips, as noted by rival manufacturer SemiLEDs last week. That is good news for potential consumers, and should increase the adoption of LED products for general lighting applications, which remain much more expensive than conventional technologies despite the recent falls. But it makes things tough for chip makers
The impact was evident in Cree's bottom-line performance, with the company posting a GAAP net income of $12.1 million – way down on the $49.8 million recorded a year ago, despite the higher revenue level. Gross margins have slumped from 47% to below 35% over the same period.
Swoboda acknowledged the tough conditions in an investor call to discuss the latest results, while predicting that the sharp falls in ASPs would cut the number of players in the market: "While LED market dynamics have reduced our operating results over the last year, they have also accelerated the price-per-lumen curve, which should accelerate adoption and will likely pressure the weaker players to consolidate or exit the market," said the CEO.
"This process is healthy for the market and should provide an improved business environment for market leaders like Cree." With an extremely large pile of cash on its balance sheet ($687 million as of December 25) the company is in a very strong position to take advantage of that expected consolidation.
Next-gen component for LED lighting
Swoboda was also keen to highlight Cree's latest product introduction, its lighting-class XLamp XB-D. The name of the game in LEDs now is to deliver more lumens per dollar cost of chips, and the company claims that thanks to improved optical design and conversion efficiency, this latest component is just half the size of its predecessors, while it is said to deliver twice as many lumens for the equivalent price. A reduction in the number of chips used and a consequently simpler optical design will also cut up-front costs of lighting systems incorporating the components.
Based on Cree's traditional silicon carbide substrates, the LED components deliver cool-white light with an efficacy of up to 139 lumens per watt, and up to 107 lumens per watt for warm-white light, which is more applicable to domestic lighting applications.
Swoboda described the XB-D launch as "the most important LED platform we have released in the last two years", adding that it would "fundamentally change the cost-per-lumen curve, which helps drive LED lighting adoption".
The CEO said that Cree was aiming to get the first commercial designs featuring the new component into production by the end of the company's current fiscal year in June.

Q: Site won't open in Facebook App for ios, nor redirect to Safari I'm not a heavy coder here, so i'll ask my best.
We made a brochure about our home town. However users spreading it trough facebook cant open the links when in their facebook app. The app does not send it to safari either. If opened directly from safari it is no problem.
The link is http://visit.lodingen360.com
Is there anything i can do to the site/index.html/whatever that will make it open in safari when the link is clicked in the facebook app for ios? (that won't affect visiting the site from pc's and so on)
Is there anything uiwebview won't read that can force it to safari, so that we can redirect from the thing opened in safari to the site?

A: Your page will load and display in Mobile Safari, I tried with UIWebView and it will load without displaying an error, but the brouchure page content won't display.
Safari and UIWebView have different user agent's - therefore my guess is that because your site uses flash but it checking for the type of browser you are not performing the check correctly for UIWebView and the page is attempting to use flash which isn't supported.

The CFO of MoviePass' parent company has resigned, as the executive exodus continues
Jason Guerrasio
Mar. 15, 2019, 9:45 AM
MoviePass.
Helios and Matheson Analytics CFO Stuart Benson has resigned, according to an SEC filing by the company on Friday.
The filing said Benson is leaving the company, which is the owner of MoviePass, to "accept another employment opportunity."
Business Insider reported Wednesday that MoviePass executive vice president Khalid Itum and three other management-level staff had resigned in the last few weeks.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Helios and Matheson Analytics, the parent company of MoviePass, announced that its chief financial officer and secretary of the company, Stuart Benson, had resigned.
The filing said Benson was leaving the company after two-plus years to "accept another employment opportunity."
Helios and Matheson CEO Ted Farnsworth said the following in a statement to Business Insider: "Stuart is a highly skilled professional and has been a great asset to the company. On behalf of HMNY's executive team and board of directors, we wish him all the best."
Benson is not the only executive to leave MoviePass' orbit recently.
Business Insider reported on Wednesday that Khalid Itum, the executive vice president of MoviePass who was handling the day-to-day operations, resigned last week. Along with Itum, three other management-level MoviePass staff had also handed in their resignations in the last few weeks. Itum and others left the company due to growing frustrations about the direction the company was headed, multiple sources familiar with their thinking told Business Insider (some of those managers will continue to consult for the company).

The management shake-up comes as MoviePass, the main business for Helios and Matheson, is at a major transition point. The company has said it will refocus its "business model to create a more closely connected relationship between our subscription service and original content production unit, MoviePass Films."
The company's financial footing has been a source of concern for investors.
Helios and Matheson was delisted from the Nasdaq in February and, in a filing with the SEC on Tuesday, said investors should not rely on some of its previously issued quarterly and year-to-date financial statements because they were not accurate. The company said it may have underestimated its third quarter net loss by $9.5 million.

Finding the best talent can be the difference between scraping by and taking off. We've put together five key tips to hiring the right talent for your business.
Be open and honest from the outset about the job requirements, career prospects, compensation and company values. If the job is boring or repetitive, don't dress it up as something it's not. The right person, such as a retiree or a parent returning to the workforce, may be after a no-fuss job that fits their lifestyle.
Don't overlook the cultural fit either. A highly qualified candidate who isn't compatible with your working style can present problems over the longer term.
Before you start advertising, you need to know where you should be looking. Research where your desired recruits will be coming from – universities, competitors, corners of the internet – and target your advertising there.
LinkedIn is a given, but other social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are great places to advertise (for free!) your openings to interested parties.
Be aware that the best recruits will be researching you as well, so ensure your website and social accounts are in good order and contain adequate information about your business.
You might not be able to offer the best salary in town, but many employees today are after more than just a paycheque.
Consider what benefits you can offer outside of money, such as flexibility around picking kids up from school, time off to study and career opportunities. Then discuss those needs with any potential candidates to find a mutual arrangement to suit you both.
Your current employees will know what it takes to get the job done, and have an interest in recommending people who will make their working life easier. Many businesses take it as a fair bet that their staff will not put forward someone who could make them look bad.
Hiring by word-of-mouth can also help you save significantly on recruiting costs. Consider an employee incentive program where staff receive a reward after a new employee has completed probation.
Interviews have come a long way from asking about strengths, weaknesses and punctuality. A good interview should be a real conversation, where you get to know the candidate as a person as much as a worker.
Ask questions about how they would deal with certain situations, or a time when they took positive action in their career. Walking the floor with a potential candidate is also useful for seeing how they interact with others and the kinds of questions they ask.

If you hadn't heard, there's a new industrial revolution sweeping the world. This revolution, say the champions of this new kind of making, is the result of three factors that together change the nature and economics of manufacturing.
The first is free software for designing complex 3D objects; the best known example being Google Sketchup.
The second is 3D printing in which computerised machines turn virtual designs into physical models that you can prod, fondle and squeeze.
Finally, there is the precipitous drop in the cost of 3D printers and other rapid prototyping techniques. This suddenly makes it practical and profitable to make-on-demand instead of mass producing products.
That's led to a huge increase in the number of websites where you can buy things that are made-on-demand, things like bespoke Lego-like bricks for example. You place your order via a website, the order is sent straight to a 3D printer that makes the brick which is then sent to you in the next post. The designer, who doesn't even see the brick, simply pockets the profit.
At least, that's how this revolution is being promoted. The reality is that if you want to make anything more complex than a plastic brick, you'll soon run up against the limitations of rapid manufacturing processes.
These processes fall into two categories: additive and subtractive. Subtractive techniques such as high speed machining are fast but cannot create certain complex shapes. Additive techniques such as laser sintering of metal powder (a type of 3D printing) cannot easily make big solid objects because internal stresses build up in the solid parts as they cool, leading to distortions.
These problems, or at least ones like them, have troubled manufacturers for centuries. So it's no surprise that they threaten to derail the new industrial revolution before it has gained much momentum.
Today, however, Olivier Kerbrat and pals at the Institut de Recherche en Communications et Cybernétique de Nantes in France, say they've dreamt up a way to tackle this problem.
Their solution is a program that analyses a design and works out how difficult it is to make with a given manufacturing technique. It takes into account factors that influence manufacturability, such as the size of the object, its volume, the flexibility of a given cutting tool and the distance of parts of the object from the centre of the manufacturing platform (and so may need extra support) and so on.
It then colour codes the virtual object according to its difficulty of manufacture (see picture above). The designer can then make changes that improve matters.
That's a new way of thinking about manufacture. In the past, designers simply focused on the suitability of a product for its purpose, be it an engine part or a building brick. They would have had a manufacturing technique in mind and simply had to accept its advantages and disadvantages.
But the key point is that manufacturers can use both additive and subtractive manufacturing processes at the same time.
So-called design for manufacture is not a new idea but it has always been more of a black art than a form of engineering. By building this way of thinking into the tools used in standard computer aided design, it's just possible that Kerbrat and co will make it much easier. That should cut lead times, lower costs and, arguably, improve quality.
All we need now is Google to include this idea, or something like it, in Sketchup. For free.

Michigan voters turned away due to missing voting machines
Alex Lasker, AOL.com
Nov 6th 2018 12:35PM
Some early-morning voters in Michigan were reportedly turned away on Tuesday due to a set of missing voting machines.
Constituents who showed up to cast their ballots at Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Detroit were dismayed to learn that election workers were having trouble locating the machines, according to WXYZ.
Officials told the station that the mix-up was due to a miscommunication about where the machines were being stored in the school prior to Tuesday's elections.
The machines were later discovered inside a locked closet that ill-prepared election workers did not have access to, which only worsened the delay.
The polling stations were eventually up and running about an hour and a half late, but it remains unclear how many voters were turned away as a result of the mishap.
The delay left some voters outraged.
"I take it very seriously," resident Sheree Walton WXYZ. "Someone died so I would have the right to vote."

Nutrition and longevity researchers, including Luigi Fontana, MD, PhD, have found more evidence that eating less may help people live longer. They report that individuals who significantly reduce their calorie intake have lower core body temperatures. Mice and rats consuming fewer calories also have lower core body temperatures, and they live significantly longer than littermates eating a standard diet.
The protein SIRT1 in the brain is tied into a mechanism that allows animals to survive when food is scarce, according to a new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The research suggests that SIRT1 may be involved with the life span-increasing effect of low-calorie diets, they report.

CITY SECURITY COUNCIL
SIA and CSC launch Skills Board for security
By Contributor CSM Online 11th July 2022
Ashley Fernandes Chair of the CSC discusses how the new Skills Board launched jointly by the CSC and the SIA will help professionalise the security industry and provide skills and opportunitiies for all.
The launch of our new Skills Board in partnership with the Security Industry Authority is not just a step in the right direction to improve higher standards of professionalism within private security, it is a golden opportunity for our industry to change perceptions about who we are and what we do.
If you think changing perceptions about our industry sounds like a relatively simple task, then think again. Reputations take a long time to build and once they are established, it can be even harder to change them. Security has evolved far beyond simply providing a well-trained and smartly uniformed officer at the front of a building and yet that is the image most people conjure up when asked about security.
Security is complex. It is a specialism that draws from a multitude of high-tech solutions and intelligence, and uses risk assessment, strategic planning, and as such, combines a huge range of skills, expertise and knowledge in its delivery. It should be portrayed and valued in the same way as other professional service businesses, but currently our reputation lags behind the reality of modern-day security.
It is important that we champion our industry. We have a lot to offer everyone; whether a school leaver, a graduate or someone looking to change career direction, there are interesting and fulfilling roles with great prospects.
To that end, my view is we all need to be firmly invested in continuous professional development, not least because if we improve professional development structures within our individual businesses then this will help us attract and retain the high-calibre people that we need to ensure we consistently deliver a quality service to our clients. To fully drive change from within the CSC has recognised the need for collaboration, and that is why the new Skills Board is so important. By joining senior leaders together who can not only lead on and agree new initiatives that will set new skills levels but also act on them within their respective businesses, we will ensure the industry upskills together and drives towards professionalism without leaving anyone behind. It will give a voice to the industry and shine a spotlight on its importance, as well as on the changes we are making to ensure high levels of professionalism.
Another training initiative we are working on collaboratively is a major incident protocol with the City of London Police. By working together, we are both learning how best to work alongside each other and how to sharpen our responses, which will make us more effective in times of crisis.
Ultimately, we all need to shout about what we are doing to make our industry the best it can be, more attractive to join and more valued by clients, and by introducing new initiatives like the Skills Board we will gradually change the perception and be a fitter industry for it.

Thyroid cancer is usually diagnosed when a patient begins to recognise undeniable symptoms. Thyroid cancer can be a scary diagnosis, but there are many people living who have beaten thyroid cancer. If you have concerns about thyroid cancer symptoms contact your local doctor who will arrange for you to see a thyroid surgeon. TweetThe diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer involves many advanced imaging techniques, biopsies, physical examination and blood tests. If you don't know about Thyroid Cancer then get the detail of this cancer by clicking on the link what is Thyroid Cancer? Different kinds of imaging tests are used to pinpoint the extent, stage and cause of Thyroid cancer. This test is performed to check whether the patient has Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or thyroiditis or not.
The cross sectional images of inside body are taken by connecting an x-ray machine to a computer and this imaging methods helps in detection and diagnosing of a goiter, or larger thyroid nodules.
With the mean of such method a proper evaluation of nodules, lumps and enlargement of patient is made.
Fine Needle Aspiration or a biopsy helps the doctor to diagnose the cancerous or non-cancerous growth of a thyroid tumor.
Thyroid nodules are abnormal overgrowths of tissue in the thyroid gland that are most often benigna€"but may be cancerous in some people.
In addition, larger nodules may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing, hoarseness, and neck pain. Furthermore, the risk for thyroid nodules is higher in women than men, incidence increases with age, and is greater in people exposed to radiation from medical treatments or who have Hashimoto's disease, which is the most common cause of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
When a sampling a nodules' cells for testing, the procedure is called a biopsy or fine-needle aspiration (FNA).
Also, your doctor may take a blood sample to measure levels of T3 and T4a€"the thyroid hormones, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Most thyroid nodules are not cancer, and your doctor will simply monitor you with ultrasound and a physical examination at least once a year. Nodules that make too much of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 may be treated with radioactive iodine or alcohol ablation.
The purpose of the Patient Guide to Insulin is to educate patients, parents, and caregivers about insulin treatment of diabetes.
If you are like many people, you may think that osteoporosisa€"a condition marked by low bone mineral density, which leads to lowered bone strength and a heightened risk of fracturesa€"is something you will not have to worry about until later in life. Sign Up for the FREE EndocrineWeb eNewsletter and receive treatment and research updates, news, and helpful tips on managing your condition.
It's important to learn and recognize the signs of thyroid problems, and through early diagnosis and treatment, you can. Thyroid disorders can strike anyone for any reason, regardless of age or ethnic background. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), nearly 30 million Americans have thyroid disease. A butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck, the thyroid uses iodine to produce vital hormones that control how the body's cells use energy.
Hypothyroidism: A common condition that occurs when the thyroid gland produces an insufficient thyroid hormone.
Hyperthyroidism: Less common than hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism results from an overactive thyroid. Goiter: Referring generally to an enlarged thyroid gland, goiter can happen due to hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or simply as a part of normal thyroid function. Thyroid nodules: Benign cysts, benign tumors or, in some cases, thyroid cancers can produce thyroid nodules. Thyroid cancer: Three times more common in women than men, thyroid cancer often has a good prognosis and high survival rates. The AACE has created a public service announcement and provides different resources about thyroid health and how to check your neck for thyroid problems. As part of this January's Thyroid Awareness Month, take some time to understand the symptoms of thyroid disorders. Thyroid nodules, goiter and thyroid cancer can all cause swelling in the neck, trouble swallowing and trouble breathing. The American Thyroid Association recommends having your thyroid checked if you're over 35 years old, with a follow-up test every five years after that. This gland is located in the neck and is responsible for basic metabolic function within the human body.
Exposure to a great deal of radiation may increase the chance of thyroid cancer contraction. Symptoms associated with thyroid disorders may include chronic pain in the neck, the ears, or the muscles and joints of the body.
A gentle massaging motion can help patients discover enlargements in the thyroid or the presence of an unidentified mass within the neck. The key to diagnosing this disease quickly is paying careful attention to symptoms, discussing these symptoms with your local doctor, and performing regular self-examinations to identify any abnormalities.
If you have a thyroid nodule, your doctor may use ultrasound to see what the nodule looks like and may take a small sample of the nodule cells to rule out cancer. TSH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland to regulate the thyroid's production of T3 and T4. Radioactive iodine is given as a pill and causes the thyroid gland to shrink and make less thyroid hormone. Learn about these diabetic neuropathies: peripheral, autonomic, proximal, and focal neuropathies. As we always do here on EndocrineWeb, wea€™re going to break down that concept for you, and thata€™s why wea€™ve put together this Patient Guide to Treating High Cholesterol and Diabetes. By reviewing this information, youa€™re taking an important step to learn about diabetes and how insulin controls the disease to help you live a healthier life.
You may feel a lump, notice one side of your neck appears to be different, or your doctor may find it during a routine examination. Here, you'll learn about some of the most important aspects of managing your child's condition.
Some thyroid issues can lead to problems that require little to no treatment, while others can be life threatening. It's more common than diabetes or heart disease, and it strikes women five times more often than men. It's controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, so problems with these tissues can also cause thyroid problems.
Because the thyroid hormone affects many cellular processes, including growth and development, low levels of this hormone can affect many areas of the body.
Thyroid disease can be confused with many other conditions, so knowing the signs can help you catch this disease early. Often, though, symptoms aren't present, and the condition goes unnoticed unless a doctor detects a lump in the throat during a routine exam.
Your risks for thyroid problems go up if you are a woman over age 60, have a family history of thyroid or autoimmune disease, or if you have received radiation to the neck or upper chest.
Originally from the Midwest, Jennifer graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a degree in English and later earned a Certificate in Project Management from Portland State University. There is also evidence to suggest the presence of a genetic link with thyroid cancer, so a family history of this cancer may indicate higher risks.
Because the thyroid is located quite close to nerve bundles in the neck, the presence of a tumour can cause serious pain. If these signs are discovered, you should contact your local doctor who will arrange for you to see a thyroid surgeon. Surgery, Radioactive iodine or chemotherapy can be used to attack the cancerous cells and kill them. In addition, nodules are found in people with iodine deficiency, which is not common in the United States. These blood tests cannot detect if a thyroid nodule is cancerous, but will help rule out other thyroid conditions. Radioactive iodine is only absorbed by the thyroid gland, so it does not harm other cells within your body. If the tumor is large, it may cause neck or facial pain, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, cough unrelated to a cold, hoarseness or voice change.
Additional testing may be necessary to determine thyroid hormone levels and rule out serious illness or the need for surgery. However, thyroid cancer can affect anyone at any time, so it's important to be prepared. Thyroid cancer can also cause patients to have trouble swallowing, skin tenderness on the neck, trouble breathing, a hoarse voice, or a frequent cough that never seems to fade.
A needle biopsy of the thyroid will usually be needed to remove a small sample of tissue and test it for the presence of cancerous cells. Thyroid nodules are quite common, with as many as half of all people having at least one nodule by the age of 60. Rarely, cancer is the cause of this overgrowth of tissue, which is why it is important to see a doctor if you think you have a nodule.
Alcohol ablation involves injecting alcohol into the thyroid nodule(s) using a very small needle. To help reduce your discomfort, your doctor may numb the skin area with a topical anesthetic, which is a cream that contains short-acting pain medication.

Detroit police officer attends breathalyzer training intoxicated

Aleanna Siacon, Detroit Free Press, Published 3:37 p.m. ET April 6, 2019 | Updated 12:31 p.m. ET April 7, 2019
DETROIT – A Detroit police officer attended a Michigan State Police training class with alcohol in his system, officials confirm.
WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) reported that the training took place Thursday, and Detroit Police Chief told the TV station that an internal investigation would be conducted.
"The bottom line is that he showed up to work under the influence of alcohol," Craig told the television station. "This was a Michigan State Police training, he blew a .08. Certainly that's a problem, it's a problem for me, and it may be a problem on how it was handled after that."
The officer was not disciplined by state police at the event.
More: There was so much booze in the air at a frat party that it registered on cops' breathalyzer
State police Lt. Mike Shaw told the Detroit Free Press the officer was attending a DataMaster training class. A DataMaster is an instrument used to analyze blood alcohol concentration via a breath sample.
"During that class he volunteered to give a sample and it was determined he had alcohol in his system. The MSP sergeant dismissed him from the class and sent him to his department. His command staff was notified. He does not work for us so we can not discipline him. That will be up to his employer."
A Detroit police spokesperson confirmed Saturday morning that an internal investigation is underway, but did not share more information about the officer or the incident.

Officer allegedly showed up to firearms training with alcohol in system
July 7, 2017 February 22, 2018 alinksy Leave a comment
by: Mike Petchenik Updated: Jul 7, 2017 – 7:51 PM
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – A Roswell police detective is serving a 30-day suspension after investigators said he showed up to a firearms training class with alcohol in his system, and records show the stresses of his job might have led to the incident.
Channel 2's Mike Petchenik obtained Detective Zackery Kowalske's personnel file and the internal affairs investigation into what happened.
On May 31, records show Kowalske showed up late for a firearms class at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth, Ga.
Documents said an instructor asked Kowalske why he was late and noted that an odor of alcohol was coming from his breath.
The report said Kowalske admitted to drinking six beers the night before and said that he had "passed or blacked out" in his hotel room and overslept.
The instructor took a blood alcohol reading at the facility and records show it registered at 0.04, which is below the legal limit to drive.
"Kowalske would have had to been at a 0.16 or 0.18 with the normal elimination rate when he quit drinking and went to bed," the instructor noted in the internal affairs report.
Kowalske told investigators that he normally drinks himself to sleep because he sees "ghosts" as the result of post-traumatic stress disorder from his role as a crime scene investigator.
Kowalske also said that he was having trouble sleeping due to a shooting involving a car chase and being assigned to investigate a double homicide behind a grocery store, according to the report.
The report also said the veteran detective sees the image of a 4-year-old boy who was hanged by his father in 2013.
In a memo obtained by Petchenik, Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant ultimately decided to suspend Kowalske for 30 days for violating department policies, including reporting unfit for duty and transporting alcohol in his city vehicle.
Grant ruled Kowalske will have to undergo a "Fitness for Duty Evaluation," won't be able to attend training at GPSTC for a year and will be transferred to a different division.
"I think he should get a chance," Roswell resident Darlene Jenkins told Petchenik after hearing about the suspension. "He needs to address it solve the problem."
Northside Hospital psychotherapist Nikeisha Whatley-Leon told Petchenik that PTSD is not uncommon in first responders, especially police.
"The symptoms would be something similar to reliving the experience, having nightmares, not being able to sleep," she said. "We've seen veterans, we've seen policemen that have been exposed to experiences that have been very traumatizing to where it impacts their way of functioning."
Whatley-Leon said one coping mechanism is to drink.
"We know that talk therapy helps… putting them in an environment where they feel safe," she said.
She told Petchenik departments need to do a better job of monitoring the mental health of their officers.
"When someone has been exposed to something that's not the normal routine of life, that you have support in place, whether it's through EAP, a crisis therapist on hand, and also having ongoing evaluations of mental health status," she said. "It's almost like you're putting them in the fire but not giving them the support to get them out or to keep them geared up to keep them going."
Grant declined to comment because the case was a personnel issue. Petchenik reached out to Kowalske via email, but did not hear back.

FAYETTE COUNTY, TN (WMC) – Tennessee Highway Patrol arrested a Fayette County Sheriff's Office deputy on a DUI charge.
Jimmy Fitzgerald was on duty and en route to a homicide investigation in Somerville on May 25 when he crashed his cruiser into another vehicle on State Road 195 in Fayette County around 9 p.m. The crash caused the other vehicle to roll over and sent the driver to the hospital.
"My husband heard the thump, and he ran through and said there's been a wreck out here," neighbor Joan Reeves said.
Reeves lives across the street from where the crash happened. She said they came out and found her neighbor's truck upside down and her neighbor hanging by her seat belt.
"The only thing that saved her was the Lord and that ditch," Reeves said.
Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers smelled alcohol coming from Fitzgerald when they arrived on the scene. Fitzgerald admitted he consumed some alcohol before responding to the call.
Fitzgerald was also injured and had to go to the hospital. After doctors checked him out, investigators arrested him.
"I really think it was wrong, and I think he knew better," Reeves said. "It could've went a whole lot worse than it did."
Fitzgerald is out of jail on $1,500 bond and has been suspended without pay. He is charged with DUI, due care, no seat belt, violation of implied consent, reckless endangerment, and possession of a handgun while under the influence.

Utah officer charged with driving drunk on way to police training

Published: May 3, 2017 1:55 p.m. Updated: May 3, 2017 1:55 p.m.
Garfield County Sheriff's Office
Jason James Whitehead
PANGUITCH — An officer with the Utah Department of Public Safety has been arrested for allegedly driving drunk in his unmarked patrol car while headed to a training session at Lake Powell.
Jason James Whitehead, 35, of Ogden, who is also an officer with the State Bureau of Investigation, is charged in Garfield County Justice Court with DUI, a class B misdemeanor, and other charges.
On April 24, Whitehead was pulled over in his Dodge Charger on U.S. 89 after police received reports of a "reckless car with a reckless driver," according to a search warrant affidavit filed in 6th District Court.
Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce said multiple witnesses called police as Whitehead traveled through Iron and Garfield counties.
A UHP trooper pulled over Whitehead and detected a "strong odor of alcohol" while speaking to him, the affidavit states.
The trooper then noticed an open bottle of vodka in the vehicle that was half full, according to the warrant. After the trooper realized Whitehead was a State Bureau of Investigation employee, the Garfield County Sheriff's Office was called to take over the investigation.
Sheriff James Perkins responded to the scene himself and observed that Whitehead "had slurred speech (and) red, glassy eyes, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol," the warrant states.
After failing a couple of field sobriety tests, Whitehead was "very unsteady on his feet" and needed assistance getting into Perkins' car, according to the affidavit.
Whitehead has been with the Utah Department of Public Safety for more than four years. He has been placed on administrative leave. Royce said Whitehead is currently assigned to the Major Crimes Unit. He was on his way to train with the department's dive team when he was pulled over.
Whitehead has had no other major disciplinary action against him during his time with the department, Royce said.
"I'm very disappointed when it's found that one of our own, who has committed to protect, made a bad choice that could harm others. We were fortunate in this incident that no one was hurt, and we have taken immediate action to address this incident. This is a very rare occurrence that does not represent the conduct of the nearly 1,600 men and women of the Utah Department of Public Safety who have dedicated their careers to providing caring and professional service," Commissioner Keith Squires said in a prepared statement.
In addition to the DUI charge, Whitehead is also charged with two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon while under the influence, a class B misdemeanor, and having an open container in his vehicle while on the highway, a class C misdemeanor.
"Our client, like all our law enforcement clients, are entitled to due process under the law like all Utahns and all American citizens," attorney Bret Rawson, who works with the Fraternal Order of Police and specializes in representing officers, said Wednesday.
Rawson said it was important to remember that Whitehead had served Utah for 12 years.
Prior to being hired as a UHP trooper, Whitehead was a deputy with the Tooele County Sheriff's Office. He suffered minor injuries in 2013 while investigating a crash on I-15 near 2500 South and another vehicle slid into him while he was inside his car.

This was a bad weekend for the NYPD — one cop and a detective were cuffed for drunken driving while another cop and a crossing guard were both charged with assault.

Two cops, a detective and a school crossing guard were arrested over the weekend in separate incidents, police said Sunday.Cops collared an NYPD officer who caused a serious accident while driving drunk on the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens Sunday morning, officials said.
Off-duty NYPD Officer Neville Smith, 32, was driving drunk on the Van Wyck Expressway in Queens by Rockaway Boulevard when he rear-ended a 2004 Honda at about 4 a.m. Sunday, sending it into a pole and a tree, officials said.
The impact badly injured three people inside. Vanessa Raghubar and Maria Raghubar, 22 and 21, were both critically injured, while Maria's boyfriend, Justin Harricharran, 20, was seriously hurt.
N.J. cop allegedly had sex with 2 teens, gave them booze, pills
"He's had traumatic head and back injuries, but he is probably the one better off," said one of Harricharran's relatives, who wouldn't give her name. "The girls are not doing too well, and they have internal injuries."
The relative expressed outrage over Smith. "He slammed three young kids that have all their lives. He was drunk. What could we think?" she said. "He ruined their lives!"
Smith, who was treated at the same site, was charged with vehicular assault, assault, driving while intoxicated and refusal to take a Breathalyzer test.
Cops in the Bronx arrested an off-duty police officer whose friend claimed she punched her in the face, officials said. Candice Smith, 31, a neighborhood coordination officer on the force since 2008, was charged with misdemeanor assault. The friend was not seriously injured, authorities said.
A few hours later, also in the Bronx, cops cuffed an off-duty detective for drunken driving, police said. Efrain Medina, 51, was driving near Walton Ave. and E. Fordham Road in Fordham Heights when he got into an accident just before midnight. He took a Breathalyzer test and was arrested on the spot, cops said.
Police in Staten Island arrested an NYPD School Crossing Guard who allegedly punched her nephew, officials said. Katherine Gabel, 55, was charged with misdemeanor assault after her nephew, 47, claimed she punched him in the face and left shoulder, where he'd recently had surgery. He was in pain but not seriously injured, cops said.

NYPD Officer Accused Of Breaking Into Apartment, Beating Woman Pleads Guilty To Assault
March 28, 2017 February 17, 2018 alinksy Leave a comment
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — An NYPD officer accused of drunkenly breaking into a woman's apartment and punching her 20 times has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault.
Eugene Donnelly will be sentenced June 1 to three years' probation and must get treatment for a drinking problem.
Authorities told the New York Daily News on Tuesday the victim told prosecutors the officer needs rehab and not jail time.
On June 10, 2014, Donnelly, of the 46th Precinct, received the Police Combat Cross for taking down an armed suspect who fired at him while he was off duty in 2012, according to the Bronx District Attorney's office. Afterward, he allegedly went drinking with colleagues and went to sleep at a friend's apartment, prosecutors said.
Sometime that night, Donnelly woke up finding himself fin the apartment of a woman he did not know in the same building in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, prosecutors said. He allegedly broke a chain lock to get in, and threw the frightened woman to the floor and beat her in the head, prosecutors said.
A Daily News report at the time said the woman claimed the suspect went on to go into the woman's refrigerator and drink from her milk container before leaving.
His attorneys have said he was sleepwalking during the attack.
Donnelly, 20, has been suspended and could be fired if he is convicted of department charges filed against him.
He also faces a DWI charge after police say he crashed into three parked cars at 135th Street and Riverside Drive last year.
Why Riverside officer wasn't arrested after drinking, texting, crashing

A Riverside police officer who admitted to drinking beer while off duty, getting into his city-issued car and sending a text message before crashing into a parked semi truck in Temecula, and then leaving the scene without immediately reporting the incident, will not be arrested.
But Chad Milby, who was once a lieutenant, is now a sergeant – one rank lower – assigned to patrol, said Riverside police Lt. Melissa Bartholomew.
Citing privacy regulations, Bartholomew would not say whether Milby's change in rank was a demotion related to the crash. She declined to discuss any details of Milby's discipline, including whether he was suspended or required to pay for the $9,500 damage done to the city's unmarked silver Ford Fusion he was driving.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department, which provides police services for Temecula, investigated the crash that happened the night of April 29 on Wolf Store Road east of Mahlon Vail Road.
When a deputy questioned Milby at his home later that night, he did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol, the sheriff's incident report said.
Milby was not cited for violating the state Vehicle Code section requiring the use of a hands-free device to text because an officer must witness an infraction to write a ticket, said Deputy Michael Vasquez, a Sheriff's Department spokesman.
The driver of the truck did not want to press hit-and-run charges, Vasquez said, so there was no victim. Some crimes, such as domestic violence, can be prosecuted with the state of California as the victim, Vasquez said, but hit and run is not one of them.
Milby, through a Riverside police spokeswoman, declined to comment for this story.
The deputy who questioned Milby, whose name was redacted from the report provided to The Press-Enterprise, said he was dispatched to a report of a hit and run involving a semi at 10:46 p.m. April 29. Two minutes earlier, the deputy wrote, there was a separate report of a silver car "swerving all over the roadway" and that the car hit a curb about a mile away.
The deputy examined the semi and found only a scuff on a tire. He also found pieces of the city's car.
Milby reported the crash to the Riverside Police Department, the deputy wrote. The deputy did not specify when. Department policy requires crashes to be "promptly" reported to a supervisor and a collision report filed with the agency having jurisdiction where the crash occurred.
The policy also prohibits using take-home cars for personal errands "beyond a reasonable minor detour," unless approved, and prohibits driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs. It also bans, without permission, drinking any alcohol within four hours before driving.
Milby told the deputy he had drank two beers between 6 and 10 p.m. before the crash.
The deputy contacted Milby in the driveway of his home in Temecula and said he noticed "an odor of either cologne or fragrant soap, preventing me from detecting an odor of an alcoholic beverage." But Milby did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol, the deputy wrote.
Milby told the deputy that his airbag deployed when he hit some unknown object, but he did not stop because he did not see any vehicles or injured pedestrians. He did not immediately check for damage to his car. Milby could not explain why he didn't report the crash to the Sheriff's Department.
Milby called the deputy the next day to add that he was responding to a text message from his wife at the time of the crash.
The deputy subsequently talked with a second witness who said he saw a silver car with its hazard lights on and the airbag inflated "doing donuts" near the site of Milby's crash.

Devrinn A. Washington (Source: Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center)
RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) – An Orangeburg County sheriff's deputy was fired following a DUI arrest after allegedly crashing his patrol vehicle in Richland County.
South Carolina Highway Patrol spokesman David Jones said 30-year-old Devrinn Washington was traveling on Garners Ferry Road near the intersection with Trotter Road when he ran off the right shoulder into a ditch and struck a tree around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday.
A driver who reported the crash said a person was passed out behind the wheel.
The responding trooper reported smelling alcohol coming from Washington, Jones said.
After refusing a breath test, Washington was arrested and charged with a DUI.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell took quick action after Washington's arrest. "Upon learning of this charge, the deputy was terminated immediately," Ravenell said. "However, while the OCSO fully supports the S.C. Highway Patrol in its investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further as that investigation is ongoing."
Ravenell said Washington was not on duty at the time of the crash.
The patrol vehicle suffered only minor damage, including a cracked valance on the front bumper.

Assassination attempt on Mnangagwa!
Merlin secures $30m from Japanese investor
Bulawayo-based textile firm Merlin has secured an investor to pour in $30 million to resuscitate operations at the troubled textile company, major shareholder Delma Lupepe has said.
The company was placed under provisional judicial management in 2011.
Last month, one of the firm's major creditors, Old Mutual successfully applied for removal of the Merlin from judicial management citing lack of progress in the resuscitation of the company and failure by the judicial manager, Cecil Madondo of Tudor House, to turnaround the company.
One of the company's shareholders, Delma Lupepe saide that they would resume operations in the first quarter in 2015.
"We have found a credible investor from Japan which I cannot name at the moment because of professional reasons. The investor will inject $30 million in Merlin for new equipment for spinning and weaving as well as manufacturing of diapers and women's sanitary wear," he said.
He said the first phase of Merlin revival would involve repairing the existing plant equipment using spares sourced from Europe.
"The shareholders' resuscitation plan will see the first phase involving repairing the equipment from spares at hand over the shut down period. We'll start operations in the first quarter of next year and the repayment of creditors is expected to begin in the third quarter," he said.
Merlin plans to acquire new equipment by the end of the third quarter in 2015 with installation expected to take between six and nine months after which the firm would have the capacity to produce more than 250 tonnes of product per month.
"We're looking forward to gradually employing 100 people in the first phase and by the end of the second phase 400 workers would have been hired," said Lupepe.
At its peak Merlin, which produced towels and nappies, employed more than 1,000 workers.-The Source

What the Apple Watch Means for the Industry
What the Apple Watch Means…
February 9, 2015 Leave a comment EBN Online, By Sagar Jethani
Last September, Apple created waves when it announced it would start selling a smart watch in the spring of 2015. Dubbed the Apple Watch, the device uses built-in sensors to monitor the wearer's biometrics and connects via Bluetooth to the iPhone for Internet and telephony applications. Users can run a wide range of applications on their watch—everything from initiating a simple phone call or responding to text messages, to more advanced features like asking Siri to display traffic conditions for the commute home or making NFC point-of-sale payments.
What does this mean for electronic engineers? For the rest of the supply chain? For the electronics industry? Is this the moment we've all been waiting for, when wearable tech is adopted by consumers worldwide, creating new demand for other wearable devices? Or is excitement around the Apple Watch a false indicator of consumer demand for wearables because of the unique place Apple occupies in the market?
Recent polls reveal a divided state of affairs for wearable technology: while nearly half of Americans claim to want more wearable devices, a third of those who have owned a wearable device stopped using it within the first six months. How can this contradiction be explained? One clue lies in the evolution and decline of one of the most popular categories of wearable technology: dedicated fitness trackers.
With their promise of making it fun to get in shape, dedicated devices from Fitbit, Jawbone, and Nike FuelBand achieved significant success over the past two years, but signs now point to a decline in future growth. A major factor is the role of smart phone convergence: what need is there for a dedicated fitness device when there's already an app for that which will run right on your phone? Just as the inclusion of GPS in smart phones killed the market for dedicated GPS devices, the expanding feature set of contemporary smart phones is now rendering dedicated fitness trackers obsolete.
With this in mind, Apple is ahead of the game by making a watch that is essentially a nice-looking peripheral for the iPhone. Remember, the Apple Watch needs to be tethered to a compatible iPhone or it cannot deliver any of its promised functionality. With over 300 million iPhone users worldwide, it has a huge addressable market of Apple Watch users. And that only takes current iPhone users into account—who knows how many more consumers will switch to the iPhone from other platforms because of the Apple Watch?
This has several implications for electronic engineers and, in turn, for the supply chain.
The first is that wearable tech need not exist in self-contained packages: consumers will be just fine with the idea that such devices will rely upon the functionality of their smart phones. This frees new wearables from a number of constraints, allowing designers to focus on the areas that truly matter, especially better power management and optimized form-factor convenience.
Most smart watches, including the Apple Watch, require daily recharging. Since the next generation of wearables will exist primarily as smart phone peripherals, engineers can offload processor-intensive, energy-draining tasks to the phone's CPU and optimize wearable devices for better power management. This should result in extended battery capacity and lengthier intervals between charge cycles.
Form factor convenience refers to the advantage offered by wearable devices over smart phones based on the wearable device's unique physical location and user interface. It's true that some of the applications planned for the Apple Watch could easily run on the iPhone – Apple's NFC payment system comes to mind – but the most exciting applications are those which utilize the Apple Watch's unique form factor, such as its real-time heart rate monitor.
Short of holding a heart monitor-equipped smart phone in your hand all day, one is hard pressed to describe how such an application would work on a phone. Applications like these simply make more sense when executed in a wearable device. Adopting an "app first" frame of mind rather than a hardware-centric approach will help electronic engineers build the next generation of wearable devices.
What ripples in the electronics pond do you see the Apple Watch making? Let us know in the comments section below.

Hollywood blockbuster action movies are about beloved protagonists, the overcoming of evil, and plenty of explosions. But sometimes they're about the existential reality that each of us barely teeters on the line of fascism. Yes, that is right. General Snobbery wishes you to know, you might be a fascist!
Starship Troopers is the film today! Sean and Matt venture back to 1997 once again to explore what is their favorite #emerging topic: how do action films directed by non-Americans differ from those directed by Americans? Have you ever considered this question? "Do you want to know more?" Then press the play button, you filthy little fascist!
They were just attractive, vibrant youths who wanted adventure and wanted to serve their government. That is where our story opens! Johnny Rico was one of these young men, played by Casper "the friendly" Van Dien. We follow Johnny, along with his friends Carmen, Dizzy, Carl, and Byron Hadley as they serve their government, become citizens, and kill Bugs! And o yea, they also become fascists!
At the surface, Starship Troopers is a typical, cheesy sci-fi movie about humans with guns and gross aliens with goo. The comedic writing is not only typically timed, it's totally predictable. In short, there is nothing new or good about this movie. Until you realize director Paul Verhoeven did that on purpose, making a brilliantly tight satire with a pigment, and scary, message. The meassage - war makes fascists of us all! Paul Verhoeven is Dutch, just like Ævart.
If you wish to know more about how fascism emerges in everyday life, watch Starship Troopers. You might also consider reading some Heidegger, because that man was actually a Nazi.
Join Sean and Matt as they continue the dasein of high-budget Hollywood and continue discovering what exactly it means to live toward explosion.

Q: what is the harm using varchar(x)? As what the document says, mysql does not allocate the full space you specify for varchar. It stores the actual length of data. So I guess there might also be side effects out there. Like if the original length of a varchar record is 10, Now I want to update it to 20 which still does not reach the specified limit 50. However, the space allocated previously is not enough now.
So my question is how MySQL deal with situation like this? Will it take long to move everything following that record? or does it have to do that?
Is there anyone can tell me how it works internally? Thanks in advance!

A: MySQL deals with it well enough you shouldn't concern yourself with the details. Although having irregular length records is somewhat slower to manage than having fixed length ones, there is a huge performance gain by reading significantly less data if your records are typically smaller than the fixed size.
Remember that CHAR columns are always stored and retrieved at their maximum size. A 255-character field will require transferring 255 bytes even if the average record has only 10-15 bytes worth of data. This is a significant amount of overhead.
Using CHAR presents a whole host of other problems since the field will always be that length, meaning it must be transferred in its entirety and, typically, stripped in the client. This is way more trouble than it's worth.
The only use in the modern era for CHAR columns is for things that will always be defined and will always be a certain size. One example might be 40-character hex-coded hashes used as identifiers, but these are typically rare and in nearly all cases a VARCHAR will work as well.


The Org > Shogun: Total War > Shogun: Total War > S:TW Modification > can we make other non mongol soldiers?
View Full Version : can we make other non mongol soldiers?
is anyone out there working on making different soldiers such as Greeks or napoleonic and how soon can we see these battles? do you have to wait for this mongol expansion pack to give some kind of battle editor that we can create our own soldiers from or can people here make new battles/wars on their own? again why don't we alll just decide to pool our resources and make ONE MOD related to ONE WAR such as Romans or Greeks??????
Unit editing is darn difficult. We are undergoing a project (me, rob, yamaga, tosa inu etc) to make an unofficial patch to arrange units up.
And editor would be tricky because lost of network mistmatches and cheating is no good.
Some new units or mods? first we find unit data then we'll see.
Many would love it though.
Unit graphics can be edited quite easily, as far a I know, though it does require artistic ability, of which I have none http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif .
Unit attributes are a lot more difficult.
