Even if an air cooler is energy efficient, plays a significant role in maintaining the quality of the environment, does not contribute to ozone layer depletion and uses a natural resource like the water to run, there are enough challenges in running an air cooler. If an air cooler has to be installed in the home one needs to take care that these challenges are handled properly.
Unclean cooling pads can produce bad odor and smell. Using the honey comb pad or the aspen material is a good alternate to counter this problem.
Standing and stagnant water in the water tank has been found to be good breeding ground for mosquitoes. With the recent outbreak of dengue and other carrier based diseases in the country, the government and other health related bodies keep announcing from time to time to clear the water from unused air coolers. It is advisable always to clear out standing water from the tank once in a while and run the fan of the air cooler without water to dry the pads as well as the air cooler interior and then refill water again.
Running an air cooler requires a source of water nearby like a tap. Care should be taken to install the room cooler onto a window that is near to the source of water. With a desert cooler this is anyway not a big issue as the desert cooler is portable and it can be wheeled near the source of water without much problem.
There are hundreds of models available in the market that claim to be efficient air coolers. Remember for all electrical machines, it is important to check the safety specifications. For an air cooler it becomes more important because it contains water too. Water and electricity is a bad combination if proper electrical insulations are not provided by the manufacturer. Read the manual carefully for features like proper earthing facilities, short circuits, shock proof body and more before buying the product. One also needs to be aware of fake and duplicate products in the market that try to attract customers by providing really low cooler price. One way to beat this problem is to buy an air cooler from a trusted online retailer. Firstly, these e-shops feature non-branded local product too but they make sure that the product deliverables are as per specifications. Secondly, the star ratings and honest feedback from other customers of the same product that you are planning to buy helps in understanding the true worth of the product.
The best air coolers in India need not surely be the one that is priced high or belong to one of the major brands. Surely, buying an air cooler from a well-known manufacturer is a way of being guaranteed that the product will be safe, consistent and genuine because of the brand value of the company. Having said this, some of the local brands are also good too and they generally sell at lower cooler price but one needs to thoroughly read the features and the technical specs before deciding.

During this special Evensong, candles will be lit to remember those who died in the Holocaust and in other genocides. To be attended by the Lord Mayor of Canterbury, Councillor Colin Spooner and members of Jewish communities in the East Kent area.
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is the charity which promotes and supports HMD across the UK. Each year the trust encourage events and activities to ensure that the day itself is an opportunity for everyone to learn lessons from the past to create a safer, better future.


To date we have run many courses over the past ten years across the whole of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland; as well as bespoke courses in North Wales, The Peak District, New Forest, Epping Forrest, Dorset and Cornwall.
Above is the 28 minute film produced by Anthony, JJ & Thao from the footage filmed during their Diploma in Wildlife Documentary Film–making course. The whole film was filmed and produced on location on the Isle of Mull during the 8 week practical section of this 16 week course.
Thao held experience in film, but non of them had produced a wildlife film before.
How do you think your course went ?
I think the course went well. I have come here and learnt a whole new handset of skills, which I would not have acquired anywhere else in the same amount of time.
During the duration of the course we have been able to make a 30 min film. Developed the basic essential skills for editing footage and audio. I have become more affluent with the language and ethical behavior required for the film industry. I came on the course to develop my out-door skills to be able to carry out a similar scenario on my own .
Did you enjoy your course / What was your favourite moment?
I really enjoyed the course and was excited for the experience from day one. Spending time around camp with the course peers has been a delightful experience and have formed strong friendships with all members.
Coming to Mull was a unique experience for me as I have never seen any of the UK's iconic wildlife. There were plenty breath taking moments. Down at knock farm we had two buzzard fly by a dozen feet in front of us. My favourite moment however has to be when we went out on Martin's boat. I managed to film a close up of the fish eagle fishing which wasn't too shabby If I do say so myself. This was an extremely proud moment for my and gave me a sense of fulfillment with the course.
What did you like about your instructor ?
Ric is a charismatic instructor which thoroughly knows his craft. There was a good balance of work and leisure on the course which enabled us to get everything done. I appreciated his firm personality if we made any mistakes, as if this was not the case we would have most likely repeated them. This is a very good quality to ensure everything goes smoothly especially when dealing with really expensive equipment.
My experience at the UK wildlife film school has been one of learning and fun. The course went well and started of on a slow note as we familiarised ourselves with the equipment we were going to use, and the code of conduct required in the industry. Through out my time here I have gained a handset of skills, from the set up of a tripod and mounting the camera, to the workings of Adobe premiere pro and how to piece a film together. I wouldn't have been able to learn all of this in the same amount of time anywhere else.
By the end of the course we managed to produce a 30 minute film which was not only informative but entertaining with our own special touch. If you come on this course by the time you leave you will be proficient in all the processes that go into making a wildlife film from pre-production all the way to post production.
Coming on the course also gave me the opportunity to witness a whole new side of the natural world that I have never seen before. Being in a different environment such as Mull you will encounter some of the UK's most iconic wildlife.
I have had an amazing lifetime experience on Mull and acquired knowledge skills and friendships that will serve me a lifetime.
I feel the course went really well. I learn so much I had no idea about not only about wildlife filming but also field craft and the wider film industry. We completed the film and made it to a good standard considering none of us had picked up a video camera or used a proper editing system before.
I would say so yes, I set out with few expectations. But the main one was to learn how to make a quality documentary. Although I did not expect us to make us a broadcast standard film. I expected us to make something decent and I believe we exceeded that and produced something you would like to watch; and watch all the way through.
I definitely learnt all the things I wished to learn on the course regarding camera, audio and editing equipment. Learnt their function, use and care. I feel like I have a good grounding all those things so that I can have a career in this field.
I did enjoy the course, my favourite part of the course was going out on the boat and filming the sea eagles, it was a really cool experience and considering that we had pretty much a month and a half of miserable weather to get a nice day to film the eagles was special.
I also really enjoyed the editing process it was where you could see how a film is really made. The layers of audio and video lines that build up a film so that it works as one piece. It also gave me a better understanding of how to use camera as you can point and shoot at anything but what you film and how you film it needs to be filmed through the eyes of the editor or viewer. You may really like it but it may be useless for the edit and won't engage the viewer.
Ric is a firm and fair instructor, he has a wealth of knowledge and he takes time to speak to locals that you gain valuable knowledge from that otherwise would go a miss.
He is always trying to improve you as his student and will tell you exactly how it is. When you do well you'll get praise but at the same time you'll get told when it's wrong.
Camp craft and organisation is paramount and your skills will improve with Ric and he always has stories to tell..
Before this course I was unsure of how or what it entails to work in wildlife film. All I knew is that I had a passion for wildlife and working in an admin wasn't for me. Arriving in Oban two days after my last day at work I was nervous but excited.
The course is what you make of it, the more you put in the more you get out. Listening and watching Ric and your peers you can learn a lot. It seems with wildlife film the best way to learn is by learning from mistakes. Before you make them or someone else does you have no idea how important the little things are (even when Ric tells you).
From using camera, pitching tents and editing, there is nothing I didn't improve in. Becoming comfortable with the camera gear, ranging from a dji osmo to the fs7 a production level camera was a steep learning curve.
Although I have watched a plethora of wildlife documentaries and have some knowledge about wildlife. You really come to understand the skills needed to produce a wildlife film.
Filming to a script is easier said than done with wildlife, initially I wanted to do my segment on Birds of Prey, but unfortunately apart from Buzzards they seemed to be more elusive than they normally are this year.
But the most engaging part was the edit process. When the film comes together. Where you choose and add music and end up with your final film. Our film really shows the fun we had on this course, we weren't always the most productive with our days. But using creativity we managed to use our footage to its fullest.
Life changing experience, I'll be back to Mull to see white Tailed Sea Eagles, Otters and hopefully a Golden Eagle that isn't so far away I need 3000mm lens. It's a shock to the system as wildlife filmmaking isn't as romantic as it's made out to be but it's thoroughly rewarding, and that final film makes it all worth it.
If I am lucky enough to work in wildlife film in the future this will be a perfect grounding.
Above is the film Patrick and Mads produced from the footage filmed during their 12 day wildlife film course on the Isle of Mull in July 2017.
I have very little to compare it to as previous film courses have been less specialised and different in terms of kit etc. I think the end results were good and I gained some good experience. I believe my overall performance improved somewhat and reviled areas I need to focus on. Some very good shots and overall editing sessions. Feel I need more time and attention to camp craft and outdoorsmanship. Some tough times, but all are usable for future learning and improvement.
Leaving with a complete film and gaining experience were very much my goals. So I can now say I have been successful with these.
Yes. I enjoyed a number of things about the course, particularly the practice more specialised kit than I am previously used to. I also enjoyed the experience of spotting and the team element involved - even when you're not on camera. Filming the three Red Deer moving though the field in the evening were a highlight..
Ric is very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the island, its laws & customs, the technology and efficient camp craft. He was also very receptive to ideas during the writing / editing and planning stages and had a good sense for when to lead or steer with the scheduled planning, and when not too. He was also relatively hands-off during the edit stages allowing us to take creative decisions and make our own discoveries.
Survived for 12 days, learned some useful things for wildlife but which may also be transferable to other filming projects. I am leaving with a strong sense of what to film with in the future. Film looks good. I made a good friend in Mads. Partly happy to be leaving as soon off to see family and will enjoy returning to regular life though I felt comfortable enough in the tent.
Despite some difficulties I am not discouraged but now have a greater perspective of challenges facing operators in the field.
I would say my filming has improved as there are some really good shots that display smooth movements that required quick decision making – when following the Red Deer for instance, whether to keep all three in frame or back off and just follow one or two. I feel like this sort of thing, which comes with practice, is an essential part of good film making technique and attitude.
Likewise, previous editing experience has paid off in terms of some problem solving and quick work arounds.
Good. The number of days fitted well into my schedule. I put my heart into it and think that it paid off.
Yes, I wanted to get a feel of what wildlife film making was like as a first priority and I feel I have a good idea as to what this is now. Even better – I really like it. Also as an added bonus I now have a product (Film) that I can show others University etc.) as well as a lot of improvement in my filming and editing skills.
Yes. It was a good educational time. Filing is most defiantly my most favorite part - more specifically following birds flying with a good smooth pan is challenging and very fun. I also enjoy the thrill and excitement when you when you do a good shot or the animal you've been waiting for suddenly appears.
You really seem to know your stuff - kit, animals, techniques etc. You are also good at striking up a conversation which is a good skill when you are dealing with groups of strangers.
I set out to learn more about what wildlife film making was - and now I have a more thorough understanding of what that implies. Along the way I also picked up a lot of new camera skills, editing skills and some general camp craft skills.
The film Patrick and I produced seemed rather good and might be useful in the future (for instance when applying for college). I now feel more confident than ever that wildlife filming is something I want to pursue.
Above is the film Daisy and Lukas produced from the footage filmed during their 12 week wildlife film course.
During their course we visited the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, Avimore, Inverness, Loch Ness, The Isle of Mull, The Cairngorms and the Shetland Isles, during the editing process they decided to write a script that focused on the Shetland Islands, with footage they filmed from other parts of Scotland included to demonstrate the differences in the environments of the Shetland Islands and the rest of Scotland. At the end of the film there is also a short collection of footage of sequences they really liked and wanted to show, but didn´t find space in their final film to included them. Please enjoy the film... Thank you.
Yes. I got a good feel of the logistics of a wildlife film production and what it takes to make one work.
Having been on a previous course (Jura 12 days 2015) I challenge to challenge myself and take on the much longer 3 month course. Having much more time to adapt to the cameras and equipment I´ve been able to get a better grasp of how they function to the point of being able to comment on how they could be improved.
I have had a more hours using the equipment than I can count and I can safely say I know their in´s and out´s. This course could be summed up as a wildlife filming tour of Scotland with the added bonus of learning about production.
A long course has tested my limits with working as part of a group, but if you have a passion for filming wildlife as I do, this is definitely an experience to be had.
Yes, I did. I know how to map read and I have gained a better understanding as to how the camera operates in terms of how the Iris effects the amount of light coming into the camera.
My favorite moment was when we were on a boat trip to Noss and we managed to film Killer Whales which were only 8ft from the boat.
Knowing that wildlife filming was something I was interested in and possibly pursue it as a career, I had no idea of how to go about it or the knowledge or skills required to get into it.
I decided to go on this 3 month course rather than going to university hoping I would get an actual feel of what wildlife film makers go through, going away for a long amount of time.
It has been challenging, and frustrating when you don't get certain shots you would have liked, but coming to the course with no experience as to how a film camera operates, the course has helped me to understand this.
Not only have I learnt how to operate a film camera but what it is like to edit a film, and that it is very time consuming but worth it in the end. I feel that I have come away with enough experience and evidence of work to prove this.
Above is the short film that Henry and Lukas produced during our last course on the Isle of Jura. Thank you. We would like to point out that neither of them had any experience of operating a camera before attending this course.
Please enjoy the film... Thank you.
How do you feel your course went?
Fantastically: I had a brilliant time. Longest I've wild camped in one place; the whole experience was extremely rounded.
Yes I did: I especially enjoyed learning the theory of learning how to work the camera (Iris settings and Depth of field etc.) Learning the details of editing was fascinating too.
What aspects of the course would you change / add / remove / improve on?
Honestly, I'd do a longer course where we camped for longer around a potentially lucrative location.
I came to this course with downwards of zero experience actually operating a camera.
I know this was a career I fancied getting into, but not any idea of how to or what kind of stuff might be required of me. Everything about the course was an experience that helped me further my knowledge and drive to learn all I could.
I feel that I came away from it with enough experience for people to take my plans and ideas seriously, and that I have the skillset to back these claims up.
Would happily recommend to a friend.
I learned more than I expected. Having never used a camera before, I feel confident enough to pick up a camera and maybe even do some independent productions.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the course. I can't say I had a favorite The views were spectacular and being so close to the wildlife was always a thrill. Funnily enough, seeing a big stag shrug his head below his shoulders and almost crawl off the road from inside the car on one of the night drives, is close to the favorite if I had to decide, it showed an almost human side of the deer that I probably would never have seen in a documentary.
The course itself is as good as it gets.
But if it was lengthened, by maybe 2 weeks (and maybe filming from a boat) that would be a good experience.
I came on the course with no knowledge of how to work a camera, let alone a film camera. Within a day, out in the field, I had learnt the basics and had already begun to try more advanced shots, Panning + Zooming etc.
This course was nothing like learning in a classroom and was tailored to include and exceed the expectations we had set at the beginning.
You get a good gauge of what it takes to be a wildlife cameraman in terms of editing, filming and carrying the equipment over distances.
Along with the coursework, I have also been exposed to breath-taking scenery and the most star filled sky I have ever seen.
If you aren't afraid to get mud on your boots and want a taste of what it takes to make a wildlife documentary, I would defiantly recommend coming on this course.
Above is the short film that Richard and Claire made during their 12 day wildlife film course on the Isle of Mull.
I have really enjoyed my experience here on Mull.
I have learnt a great deal from my Instructors & I feel I have progressed in my editing skills in particular.
It has been great to find out what it is like to be a wildlife film-maker & try out all the aspects of the process of making a finished film.
The course has confirmed to me that wildlife film making is certainly something I wish to pursue in the future. It has been a privilege to spend time on this beautiful island & get close to such wonderful wildlife.
I am sad to be leaving !
I had a great time and enjoyed producing a short film. I particularly enjoyed going through all the steps on location, giving a sense of what would be required being a professional wildlife film maker.
The locations and the scenery were also excellent, making it a great trip even ignoring the filming part, and it didn't rain very much considering being in Scotland.
I was really itching to come on a practical wildlife film course after attending a few courses at wildeye. I can confidently say, the UK Wildlife Film School has given me the core foundation knowledge of what is required when taking up the task of filming out on location, and what is required of you to complete a wildlife film production smoothly and successfully.
I learned first hand the conflict of needing to film the Otter and wanting to watch him with my own eyes and not just through the eyepiece!
"This is the best way to learn wildlife film-making Scotland offers some incredible landscapes and to track the wildlife and film them directly in their environment is the core of this course. In some cases it may take some time but it's really worth effort.

"The course was fantastic and the locations were even better. I actually filmed an otter within 1 hour of arriving on location!
The whole week was truly inspirational."
How do you think your course went?
"The course was good. It was good to get experience like this out in the field."
"I feel the course went well. I liked the fact that despite all the student's preconceptions of what the course might be like, the course showed a very realistic example of what being a wildlife filmmaker is all about."
"In the beginning we had a lot of carrying of equipment and group logistics to do that I hadn't thought about, but we accomplished everything very well in our days of filming and editing."
What did you think about your instructors?
"Ric is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in filming and surviving in the outdoors. He is interesting to talk to and prioritise safety above everything else.
"Ric is a really interesting person with lots of life stories to tell. He knows his profession inside and out so it's been great learning from him over the past 12 days."
"I felt safe to be in a remote location as Ric has a lot of experience in being outdoors, as well as information about the wildlife, the filming industry and equipment. Also, at the beginning of the course I misunderestimated the amount of equipment you need to live and work in a remote location, and this course has helped me understand this.
"Filming the otter - and being close enough to be able to hear it eating!"

Q: What is this CSS active menu style with triangle called? In the following picture, I have mocked up a CSS active menu styling I would like to find examples of, and hopefully replicate.

You will notice there is a triangle highlighting the active menu, and it can appear bold too.
Question 1. What is this "active menu triangle style" actually called?  So I can find CSS examples of it.
Question 2. Where can I find examples of this?

A: I don't know how it is called, but I guess it does not correspond to any CSS property. You'll have to achieve this with background images I think.

A: I don't think there's a name for this, but it's going to be hard to make this in CSS without having to add a background image. With images it's fairly easy, see the other comments.
You could of course use :after with some CSS3 tricks to create an element simulating the arrow, like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/upeRE/2/
But it won't work in every browser and you'd have to know exactly how wide your menu items are.

A: All done through css classes like so:
html

Menu Item 1

Menu Item 2

Menu Item 3

    ....

css
ul li a {padding: 6px; border-bottom: 1px solid #666; background-image: none; color: #454545}

ul li a.selected { background: #fff url(triangle.png) no-repeat center bottom}

Tweak the background-position until it fits snuggly with the border.

A: The shape is called a CSS polygon. Tantek Celik was one of the first to write about the technique in 2001. The design pattern is called a location-based breadcrumb.

A: You need to look for css triangles menus (or css3 triangles).
These are made with borders that are transparent.
There is a good explanation of how you can make the triangles here:

Olympic Rower Praises Community Sports Festival
Four times Olympic gold medal-winning rower Sir Matthew Pinsent with Dr Nigel Dobson, co-director of the Ulster Sports Academy, at the University of Ulster 'Sport Comes 2 Town' festival
Four-times Olympic gold medal winner Sir Matthew Pinsent has said that the University of Ulster 'Sport Comes 2 Town' festival is the best community sports initiative that he has ever seen.
The former rower was speaking on Wednesday afternoon on the second day of the Ulster Sports Academy's extravaganza in Portadown, which reaches its finale this Saturday 26 June.
Portadown Rugby Club was the venue for the business and sports leadership conference series 'Raise Your Game' - run in partnership with sports management and events company Podiem and the Ulster Business School - where Sir Matthew met local business and sports leaders.
Sir Matthew praised the University of Ulster's four-day sporting festival which aims to encourage families to get active and get involved in sport.
"I think this is certainly the best I have seen.. There are other schemes, but they are school based or on a smaller scale. I think that 'Sport Comes 2 Town' by the breadth of the appeal and the ambition is definitely the best I have seen," Sir Matthew said.
The Olympian also said that getting children involved in sport was very important for their personal development and had words of inspiration for future sports stars: "Find something that you are good at and enjoy and willing to put the time in. In the beginning you need to look at getting young people involved in a variety of sports and then from there let them choose whichever sporting path they enjoy most and are good at."
The pioneering University of Ulster 'Sport Comes 2 Town' has also been granted the Inspire Mark, the badge of the London 2012 Inspire Programme.
The London 2012 Inspire programme recognises innovative and exceptional projects that are directly inspired by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
On Wednesday evening's reception for the festival, Sir Matthew joined the Sports Minister Nelson McCausland who commended the University of Ulster for developing the concept for 'Sport Comes 2 Town'.
The Minister said: "This is a festival of sport, culture, art, education and business, which is embedded in the local community, but takes its inspiration from the 2012 Games – the biggest sporting event in the world. Congratulations to the University of Ulster and to all the organisations – both public, private and third sector – who have worked in partnership with them to deliver this festival and to support local sport.
On the award of the Inspire Mark, the Minister said: "This is the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history that non-commercial projects and events can be officially recognised as being part of the Games. Through the Inspire Programme in Northern Ireland, we are using the Games as a catalyst to inspire change – at individual, community, regional and national level – which will ultimately leave a positive legacy."

WESTON— What is better for a Valentine's celebration than chocolate … lots of chocolate? And the WV Glass Museum in Weston will have lots of it, in all forms at this weekend's Chocolate Lover's Feast planned for Saturday, February 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Museum, located on Main Avenue in Weston.
Sheila Sayre and Fay Bell know how important chocolate is for a great Valentine's Day Celebration…they have been helping create the Chocolate Lover's Feast for years at the Museum. Sheila and Fay are no strangers to donating their time to help revitalize Weston. They are members of the Weston Fairs and Festivals Committee. They also headed up the annual Christmas and spring decorating in downtown Weston.
Chocolate-covered peanuts, chocolate cookies, chocolate cakes, chocolate cheesecakes, and even chocolate wines will be available for the chocolate lovers. Each contributor is bringing at least two items, which will be more than enough for the visitors who only need to pay $10 to indulge. Advance tickets are available at the New Image Beauty Salon on Second Street in Weston or the Glass Museum at 304-269-5006. Interested parties can call 304-269-4761 for information or to donate items.
Chocolate and Valentine's Day go hand in hand. Most everyone loves chocolate, but it is actually good for one's health…especially one's heart. That is because cocoa which is the main ingredient in chocolate is rich in antioxidant polyphenols, similar to the chemicals found in foods such as red wine and tea.
There are many compounds in chocolate which act upon the brain to produce a sense of delight unlike anything else. Chocolate also has caffeine in it which can be beneficial to one's health and is the most widely consumed stimulant on earth. It stimulates the central nervous system, stimulates the flow of blood in the brain, and increases the very important neurotransmitter serotonin. Caffeine enhances alertness, facilitates thought formation and decreases fatigue. It also improves mood overall, lifts the spirits, and enhances both cardiovascular function and respiration. Modest amounts of caffeine in chocolate provide a healthy stimulant effect and is usually suitable for consumption by all adults and children. All that chocolate at the Extravaganza sounds like it is good for the winter blues.
The Glass Museum is an undiscovered gem right in the middle of Weston. It is a museum dedicated to the region and nation's rich glass heritage. There are examples of thousands of products that can be viewed and compared and the stories of people and processes come to life. Presently there are 15,000 pieces on display with another 15,000 in storage.
The Museum was established in Weston, West Virginia, in 1993 as a non-profit organization with a goal to discover, publish and preserve whatever may relate to the glass industry in West Virginia, the United States of America or where ever else glass has been manufactured. There are several focuses for the Museum including the people, the factories, and the products.
The People... The Museum focuses on the time of 1900-1940, when production of American handmade glass boomed and pieces graced millions of tables WVMAG, Ltd. includes all glass products, from bottles to lightning rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. It preserves the history of the places and people who made these products.
The Factories..... The Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry.
The Product..... The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during this century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.

Help save America's independent hospitals
By Kathleen Silard, opinion contributor — 06/09/20 07:00 PM EDT
The thousands of independent hospitals serving communities across America now face an existential threat. The COVID-19 pandemic and flawed federal attempts to aid these hospitals have left them financially devastated.
Unless Washington takes the right steps to help in the near future, many independent hospitals may be absorbed by larger health systems or close their doors for good. As a result, millions of Americans could face significantly higher health care costs and gaping holes in the health care system.
Independent hospitals serve areas ranging from the extremely rural to inner-city communities that multi-hospital systems often do not. We also provide an alternative to the widespread consolidation of the hospital industry of recent years which, studies show, raises costs to consumers and the entire health care system.
I see how important the role of independent hospitals is for the communities we serve. When COVID-19 hit our area, our deep relationships with local health care partners allowed us to respond early, nimbly and effectively. Our deeply committed, and local board helped us collect donations of money, food, and PPE. We were also able to integrate easily with U.S. military personnel who helped provide care to our patients.
Fortunately, my hospital entered this crisis in a strong position and with great support from our community. Although the pandemic has been financially hard on us, we believe we will emerge from this crisis on a solid footing. But other independent hospitals are not so lucky.
Even before the pandemic hit, many of the more than 2,000 independent hospitals in America — hospitals that are not owned by larger multi-hospital systems — were financially weak. According to Modern Healthcare data, half of the nation's stand-alone hospitals lost money on an operating basis for each of the last five years. Rural stand-alone hospitals were in worse shape: 60 percent experienced losses in each of the last five years.
Then came COVID-19. All hospitals suffered when states restricted elective surgeries and other non-essential services which are critical to hospitals' bottom lines. The American Hospital Association estimates that the nation's hospitals and health systems are now collectively losing more than $50 billion a month.
Next came the federal government's attempts to stem some of those losses as part of the CARES Act economic stimulus package. To date, the Department of Health and Human Services has distributed more than $70 billion in grants to hospitals. But that money has flowed disproportionately to bigger hospital systems. Smaller, independent hospitals with little access to capital are receiving tiny amounts of federal aid by comparison.
As Congress considers a new round of aid and stimulus to the economy, what can the federal government do differently that might blunt the impact of the pandemic on small and independent hospitals?
For one thing, with providers across this country losing $50 billion a month collectively, we need more funding for providing relief. Current allocations are simply not enough to cover our losses and save independent facilities.
In addition, Washington has to do a better job of distributing money from previous relief bills. That means it must be distributed equitably to independent hospitals as well as large hospital systems. It must be distributed to those hospitals that need it most: those whose communities have been most seriously affected by the pandemic. And it needs to go out more quickly —not even half has been distributed. For hospitals, even a one-month delay can cause cash flow problems.
Equally important to help independent hospitals, Medicare offered hospitals a lump-sum advanced payment early in the COVID-19 crisis, critical support to help the cash flow of hospitals like ours. But repayment begins 120 days after the loan was issued and it carries a 10.25 percent rate of interest. During a crisis like this, those terms are onerous for small and independent hospitals. Congress should convert these advance payments into a grant or provide much better, and delayed, repayment terms.
Finally, we must support states with critical funding as they absorb new costs and lower revenues. States are vital sources of grant and reimbursement funding for hospitals, and any cuts to these revenue streams would inevitably flow down to cuts to us. State funding also supports teachers, police, firefighters, and other essential workers — all key partners with us throughout the pandemic.
Independent hospitals are local pillars, trusted care providers, and nimble operators. These characteristics make us essential through this pandemic, and essential every day beyond it, throughout rural, urban, and suburban America. We cannot keep communities healthy if we are not healthy ourselves.

The Alberta Species Conservation Atlas (ASCA) is a digital repository of biogeospatial data on the present and future distributions and habitats of Alberta's flora and fauna. We developed the Atlas as an online initiative to collect and share the data we have accumulated on species distributions and projections with other scientists, conservation workers and policy-makers in the hopes that it may prove useful.
The Atlas was started with a collection of maps and GIS data representing the present distribution and potential future habitat, accounting for climate change and other impacts, of Alberta's 500 rarest species of plants, vertebrates and invertebrates. By synthesizing information across species, this collection is being used to rank, in a spatially-explicit manner, the irreplaceability of Alberta's places, thus helping to guide and prioritize conservation actions and land use decision-making associated with Alberta's Land Use Framework.
Atlas Index
Each atlas is organized into collections by type and taxa. Some atlases are associated with specific conservation projects, conference presentations and publications, all noted in the descriptions of each collection. All data published in this atlas is completely available and free for anyone to download, use, and re-disseminate, so long as appropriate attribution is made. Details on attribution are provided in collection descriptions.
For all enquiries, please contact ASCA PI Scott Nielsen at scottn@ualberta.ca. We would love to hear from anyone working with this data.
Rare vascular plants of the Lower Athabasca
In 2012 the Terrestrial Vascular Plant Monitoring Project for the Lower Athabasca, known at the time as the Ecological Monitoring Committee for the Lower Athabasca Rare Plants Project, was initiated to inform the status of rare vascular plant species, test protocols to improve sampling and monitoring, and develop models to assist with management of rare plants across the Lower Athabasca Planning Region (LAPR). In the survey years of 2012 to 2015 a total of 602 Rarity and Diversity plots were completed, generating a comprehensive dataset consisting of 536 vascular plant species across regionally significant habitat types.

ICONic Pro fi l e Margaret Mc Curry
I M A G E : S V E T L A N A I H S A N O V A
MARGARET MCCURRY, ASID, FAIA is a principal in the Chicago firm Tigerman McCurry with her husband, Stanley Tigerman. Their work is known for its emphasis on precision and functionality, creating artful buildings and spaces that, although based in several traditions, wear their learning lightly. The Tigerman McCurry practice has designed across an industrywide spectrum, including commercial, cultural, and institutional buildings, as well as private residences. In addition, McCurry designs furnishings, fabrics, and accessories. Chicago-born and bred, design was a large part of McCurry's childhood, growing up on the South Side in an international-style house designed by her architect father, Paul Durbin McCurry. She received a bachelor's degree in art history from Vassar and was a Loeb Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she is currently president of the Alumni/ae Council. She spent more than a decade at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Chicago office collaborating on numerous projects, including an addition to the Art Institute of Chicago.
The recipient of numerous awards, including induction into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, McCurry has been honored by The American Institute of Architects, and has received national and local Interior Design Project Awards from the American Society of Interior Designers.
She and her husband live in a Ludwig Mies van der Rohe apartment tower in the city. Their beloved getaway is a small cottage they designed in a Michigan town just a block from the Lake, where
ICON spoke to McCurry.
ICON: Has Chicago gotten over the World Series?
MM: I went to a luncheon recently, all women of certain levels of accomplishment, and an economist was speaking. Every time there was something too economically terrible to contemplate, she would say, "Go Cubs! Go Cubs!"
ICON: I love the name Margaret, which you don't encounter much anymore.
Are you a Peggy or Peg?
MM: No, no, no. I was a tomboy and wanted a pony for Christmas, but instead I got a doll and I named her Peggy. That's
how I feel about Peggy.
Stanley calls me "Grets," the back half of Margaret.
ICON: How do you manage to work with a spouse without bloodshed?
MM: Mostly we don't work together. We have our own clients. We're here in the cottage that we designed years ago, the first house we did together.
ICON: With never a cross word?
MM: Oh, many. But it worked. And it works.
ICON: What lessons did you learn from your father that you still employ today?
MM: When I was little, I went on job sites with him, playing in buildings under construction, swinging from roof beams.
He was very much a professional and I learned that side from him, the business side of the profession, which is as important as the design side.
ICON: Ideas from him that you rejected?
MM: He was afraid to encourage me to be an architect since there weren't many women architects at the time.
He thought I'd be disappointed. We come from a long line of schoolteachers so he thought I could do the same. I had to wiggle my way into my profession.
ICON: What's the first thing you designed or built?
MM: When I was eight, my dad bought new furniture for the house and I took all the cardboard boxes they came in and made apartments on the driveway.
ICON: When you look up from your desk at work, what do you see?
MM: Stanley, a couple of desks away looking in the other direction. Books everywhere.
ICON: What do you always have with you?
MM: A tape measure. I encourage young people in the office to do the same. Remember proportions. When you're in a space, ask yourself what feels good about it, and what doesn't. I used to always have a camera, but now I use my phone to take pictures.
ICON: Who is the client from hell?
MM: One who is unwill-
ing to learn. Or one who
has an idea of what they
want and then they tell
you what the budget is
and the two are not com-
patible. I tell them, "Let's
work out a way and still
make it happen." It's an
educational process. But
you have to know when to
say to your client, "No, you
can't do that." Stanley and
I have a deal where if they
become the client from
hell, we can tell them to
take a flying leap off a cliff.
But that's rare.
ICON: When you're hiring someone, what part of the resume do you ignore?
MM: We rarely hire out of the Ivy League. They want to be a partner right away.
We say, "We love to design things, and if you want to learn from us, then sit and learn from us." And we always ask, "Why do you want to come here? Why us?" If everything they say is, "Me, me, me," then we go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa."
ICON: If you could dispel one cliché or misunderstanding about designers, what would it be?
MM: That we don't care.
That we don't bleed over what we do.
ICON: You've spoken of a bond between the modernist idea of stripping things down and the Shaker conception of simplicity in design.
MM: There is a connec-
tion. Modernism had
strong beliefs and there's
a spiritual—not an eccle-
siastical—connection to
the Shakers of removing
ornamentation.
ICON: When you wake in the morning, how long is it before you start to think about work?
MM: It depends on the day. If there's a problem to solve, than I wake up with it. Or in the middle of the night with it. There's always a sketchpad next to the bed for ideas when they come.
ICON: When you arrive in a place you've never been, what's the first thing you look for?
MM: How the people live.
I'm immediately out walking. And landscape. I come from Irish peasants on one side and Scotch-Irish landowners on the other, so I need to be out in a landscape or I shrivel up.

Q: Joining Session ID's I have a login area for my customers.
They send me data using there userid as a ref and they can login and view what they have sent.
Now some of my customers have more than one website and more than 1 userID.
Example :
Martin's userid = MW001 for website www.martin.com
Martin's userid = MW002 for website www.thomas.com
Now once they login , there user id is stored in a session which i use to display data from a mysql DB.
Is there a way to store both userid's in a session and display different information based on what they choose.
Example :
Martin logins in using userid MW001 for website www.martin.com , he can now view all the data related to userid MW001
I want him now to have a option to select a link called " View other website " and it will load that data for userid MW002 and not MW001 anymore.
My DB Looks Like This :

userid , Name, Surname, Email, Tel, URL

OK , what i need to know.
I need to know how to move between sessions.
If my customer logins in user userid MW001 how will i load MW002 ?

A: What i did was just create a session, then join mysql tables and link the users that way. It was actually really simple.


Everyone gets exposed to the same jimmy germs and pollutants in the air. Some people seem to catch whatever bug is going around and others seem to be immune from illness even when people are sneezing all around them. Some people take a long time to recover, some people bounce back quickly.

Go the distance—-being wise—respecting knowledge—-utilizing the back yard sense approach to life.!?
I enjoyed reading this. I read it a few times, fast then slow, then at my normal reading pace. Each time the puzzle pieces shifted. To me, yes this is indeed a poem; one has to allow their mind to open and visualize, and to capture what it believes the words to mean—as there are different doors to choose from. Thank you for sharing this!
You're very welcome; I'm glad you deem my comment as valuable.
Such a clever rambler you are! With words that rush like rapids tearing at my shoreline and taking pieces into your swirling depths. Bravo!
This is …. utterly, positively… heartfelt. I'm all smiles my dear friend.
Modestly you may call this rambling but wisdom is heaps full throughout ..

The "BURNT DOCUMENTS":
Documents relating to some six million soldiers who served in World War I were retained after the war. During World War 2 the store in which they were kept was hit by enemy bombing and some two-thirds of the records were destroyed. The rest were badly damaged by fire and water, but were nevertheless retained. During the 1990s with the help of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund the painstaking job was undertaken of trying to retrieve as much of the information as possible from these documents. The result is the series of so-called Burnt Documents, which are available for consultation on microfilm at the National Archives at Kew, although, by subscription, can be viewed using online sites.
Wherever possible, reference has been made these surviving papers to document the Service History of the men named on the Buxton Memorials.
The Commonwealth War Graves [CWGC]:
The Commission, as part of its mandate, is responsible for commemorating all Commonwealth war dead individually and equally. To this end, the war dead are commemorated by name on either a headstone, at an identified site of a burial, or on a memorial. War dead are commemorated in a uniform and equal fashion, irrespective of military or civil rank, race or creed.
For each man on the site access to his burial or memorial place can be accessed by clicking the
CWGC logo in the top right corner of his/her page.
The Great War Forum [GWF]:
This site would never have been completed without the generosity in time, resources and
encouragement of my Forum 'pals', who have provided me with photos of men, Memorials
and graves, plus many details from War Diaries and Official Regimental Histories.
The cost alone in having to buy these resources would have made the whole Project
prohibitive. [Click the logo to have a look at the site.]
Graves and Memorials:
'The British War Graves' [BWG] and 'The War Graves Photographic Project' [TWGPP]:
As stated above, over 80% of the graves of Buxton's fallen have been personally visited, but in some
obvious cases this has not been possible and I have relied on the work of the volunteers from these
two sites to provide me with the relevant photos of graves and memorials.
Published Material:
To anyone who would prefer to read an actual 'book' rather than a web page - I would recommend buying:
"Buxton, Burbage, Chelmorton, Harpur Hill, Peak Dale, King Sterndale and Wormhill REMEMBERED" -
Keith Taylor [2014] ISBN 978-1-906789-99-2 [Click the book to read more.]
In 2015 Keith published the second volume of this series: "Buxton, Burbage, Chelmorton, Earl Sterndale,
Fairfield, Harpur Hill, Peak Dale, King Sterndale, Taddington and Wormhill Remembered - with 760 black
and white photos 1920s-1950s." [Click the book to read more.]
Photographs:
Most of the photographs of Buxton's fallen have been taken from microfilm versions of "The Buxton
Advertiser" and the "High Peak News", contained in Buxton Library. As a result the quality of many is
of a poor standard, however, it was felt that better a poor photograph than none at all!
A few have been kindly provided by family members, whilst others come from contemporary sources,
such as 'The Sphere' or 'War Illustrated'.
Let Those Who Come After See To It That Their Names Are Not Forgotten.
"More Than Just A Name"
Welcome to this website commemorating the men and women from the town of Buxton, Derbyshire, who served and died in the two major wars of the 20th Century. Predominantly, on the Centennial Anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War, 1914 - 1918, emphasis will be on those who gave their lives in that conflict.
For interests of privacy, of living direct relatives, less detail is included on those who died during the Second World War, 1939 - 1945, although a recently published book (see below) contains a lot more information than this site. Since starting research for this site events of more recent conflicts have seen new names added to the town's main Memorial.
The main aim of the site is a simple one, and that is Remembrance. By building this website I hope to perpetuate the memory of the men (and one woman) of the town who lost their lives in the service of their country. The theme of "More Than Just a Name" unashamedly takes its inspiration (and with permission) from John Hartley's superb website "Stockport Soldiers who died 1914 - 1918" - the intention is clear, our local heroes deserve a greater recognition than "just a name" on the Memorials, rarely read and thought of.
To this end it has been my great honour to visit and pay my personal respects to the graves and memorials of over 80% of those commemorated on the Buxton Memorial. To this end I have to give my thanks to my wife, Jane, who has read maps, taken photos and travelled down many a muddy track to help me achieve my goals.
The original idea behind the website was a simple one, and that was to positively identify, by name and regiment or unit, each of the men listed on the war memorials in the town. In addition, however, more detail has been added about where they were born; what jobs they did, and most importantly the families they left behind. As far as is possible details are also given of when and where enlistment took place, and what engagements took place for each man, including, of course, the one where the ultimate sacrifice was made.
The results are interesting - Why are there so many men from Canadian Battalions? Why are some names there for whom no records exists? How come two names are of men who survived the War?
Navigation is simple: the buttons on the left link to the individual Memorials in the town; those above are to search for individuals by surname. Each name links to an individual page where Personal and Military history sections tell you as much as I have found about each man, including a photo, where possible.
Buxton's main War Memorial is a magnificent 8 m. high Sandstone Obelisk, adorned with a carving of a Winged Victory, standing proudly overlooking the town on 'The Slopes'.
It was unveiled on the 18th September 1920 and displays three bronze panels bearing the names of 315 men and 1 woman who gave their lives in the Great War. At the end of the Second World War another panel was added for those who gave their lives in that conflict.
However, as with many towns, the former outlying villages - now suburbs - have their own Memorials, often as separate structures and/or included in parish churches. Add to those Memorials at workplaces, schools, in streets and attached to buildings, the town has a rich and varied number of Memorials to commemorate its War dead.
In addition, Buxton Cemetery is an official Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, containing
a Cross of Sacrifice, along with the graves of local men who succumbed to their wounds
away from the Battlefields, plus many who died in one of the many Hospitals housed in
the town during both Wars.
Many of these graves are Canadian soldiers, as the Devonshire Hospital, the Empire
and Palace Hotels, among others, were designated Canadian Hospitals.

Snowden pardon plan draws bipartisan scorn from key defense lawmakers

The top Republican and Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee on Monday blasted rumored White House plans to pardon former CIA employee turned whistleblower Edward Snowden, saying such a move would "mock our national security workforce."
The statement from committee Chairman Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., and ranking member Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said that Snowden is responsible for "harmful leaks from the Department of Defense and elsewhere in the federal government" and must stand trial for his actions.
"It would be a serious mistake to pardon anyone who is charged under the Espionage Act, who admits to leaking sensitive information, and who has spent years since then as a guest of the Putin regime," the pair said.
Snowden: Would return to U.S. with guarantee of fair trial
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Speaking via Skype from Russia, Edward Snowden told an audience of supporters in New Hampshire on Saturday that he is willing to be extradited to the United States if the federal government would guarantee he would get a fair trial.
"Not only would it mean that Snowden cannot be held accountable for his crimes, but it would send a dangerous message to others who are contemplating espionage and the adversaries who would support them."
Snowden fled the United States in 2013 and shared classified National Security Agency documents with journalists which revealed previously covert domestic surveillance operations by government officials.
Open government advocates have hailed him as a hero, but military officials have criticized his actions for jeopardizing military operations and personnel across the globe. He has been living in Russia to avoid law enforcement attempts to return him to the United States and face trial on charges of mishandling classified information.
President Donald Trump in the past has said publicly that Snowden should be "executed" as a traitor and a spy. But on Saturday, Trump said he was re-examining the case, suggesting that "it seems to be a split decision" among top government officials whether Snowden should be prosecuted or allowed to return to America without legal consequences.
The committee leaders urged him not to do the latter.
"Edward Snowden did enormous harm to our national security and he must stand trial for his actions," they said.
Trump's past pardons have drawn significant public scrutiny, including his decision last month to pardon Roger Stone, his former political adviser, and the move to grant legal protections to a trio of controversial military figures last fall.

The first step to open probate is to file the will. There is a presumption that the will is valid. A list of all of the people named in the will and a list of all of the people who would inherit under Ohio Law if the will was contested and found not to be invalid is also filed with the will. These people have an interest or standing in proving that the will is valid or not depending on which side the heir or potential heir might be on.
As an example, I am a child of the decedent and have been excluded from my dad's will. I file a will contest, because I believe my dad was not competent at the time he signed his will. If I am successful and the will is thrown out by the Court, then I inherit a share of his estate as an heir at law.

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the toast of the football world -- and newspaper headlines -- on Thursday after scoring with a magical bicycle kick from 30 yards out in a friendly match against England.
The debate is on: Was it the greatest goal of the year? Of this century? Of all time?
Ibrahimovic's acrobatic strike certainly ranks alongside some of the very best -- Diego Maradona's weaving, solo run against England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals; Marco van Basten's volley in the 1988 European championship final; Brazil's last goal in the 1970 World Cup final, finished off by Carlos Alberto.
Ironically, Ibrahimovic's goal came just hours after FIFA announced its candidates for the 10 best goals of 2012, a list featuring efforts by Lionel Messi and Neymar. FIFA said Thursday it was too late to add the Swede's goal to the list, but it can be considered in next year's voting.
"Goal of the Century," blared the headline in England's Daily Telegraph. "DID YOU SEE THAT?" roared Swedish paper Dagens Nyheter.
Social media was awash with reaction to the goal, which came in stoppage time to complete Sweden's 4-2 win over England in the country's new national stadium -- the Friends Arena. Ibrahimovic scored all of Sweden's goals in a masterful individual display.
"What a fantastic goal of Zlatan Ibrahimovic against England!!!" tweeted retired Brazilian great Ronaldo.
France legend Zinedine Zidane also expressed his admiration for the Swede's wonder goal.
Ibrahimovic is "an extraordinary player. It was magnificent -- especially the overhead kick," Zidane was quoted as saying by Agence France-Presse.
"Ibra," as he is often called, is no stranger to scoring stunning goals that become Internet sensations. His amazing individual goal for Ajax against NAC Breda in the Dutch league in 2004 is usually cited as his best but his latest came on the international stage, elevating its status.
Maybe the fact that it was a friendly -- and that he had already scored a hat trick -- gave him the confidence to attempt such an audacious shot. Chasing a long pass, Ibrahimovic held back when England goalkeeper Joe Hart rushed out to clear the ball with an awkward header just outside the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic turned and, before the ball could hit the ground, leapt high. With his back to the goal, his overhead kick sent the ball looping over the retreating Hart, as well as two other scrambling defenders. The strike came from a tough angle, too, adding to its greatness.
Zlatan scores 'the greatest ever,'" English newspaper The Daily Mail said on its back page.
Marca was equally effusive in its praise about the striker's master class.
"Super Ibra. Superlative, unique, spectacular," the Spanish daily said, as translated by Yahoo! Sport. "Ibrahimovic completed one of the remaining games for the legend."
Ibrahimovic -- who plays for French club side Paris Saint-Germain -- is one of the few players who could pull off such a feat of vision, imagination and dexterity. Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo, another agile forward, is perhaps another.
That Ibrahimovic's goal came in a friendly may lessen its impact. The legendary goals of Maradona, van Basten and Carlos Alberto Pereira were scored in major international tournaments, giving them greater weight.
For that reason, the volleyed goal by Zidane in the 2001 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen deserves a mention, as does Ryan Giggs' dribble from the halfway line in extra time of an FA Cup semifinal between Manchester United and Arsenal in 1999.
Other goals usually raised in "best of all time" debates include Roberto Carlos' swerving free kick for Brazil against France in a friendly tournament in 1997 and length-of-the-pitch runs by George Weah (for AC Milan against Verona in Serie A in 1996) and Saeed al-Owairan (for Saudi Arabia against Belgium in the 1994 World Cup).
Ibrahimovic's goal, his 39th for Sweden, led to the stadium erupting with joy as the striker wheeled away, taking his shirt off in celebration.
It silenced the section of England fans who minutes earlier had serenaded Ibrahimovic with derogatory songs comparing him to Andy Carroll, the much-maligned English striker who also has a ponytail.
"It's probably the goal I enjoyed the most, of all the goals I've scored for the national team," Ibrahimovic said.
"I've played a lot of good games. I've scored many nice goals. I don't know how important this match was compared to others. But the important thing was to win in the new arena, which I've said earlier, it feels like a coliseum."

The last chapter of the last book of the Bible concludes with an invitation to us then with a plea from us to Christ.
Thus the Bible concludes with God's invitation to us to come to Him and with our plea to God to come to us.
That's the message with which the book of Revelation concludes: Come to Christ! Come to the love that saves us from a danger greater than we can perceive.
The problem is that people don't always recognize the love with which the call to us is made. Clark Cothern tells the story of a squirrel that fell down a chimney into the wood burner stove in the basement of his Michigan home: "I thought if it knew we were there to help, I could just reach in and gently lift it out. Nothing doing. As I reach in…it began scratching about like a squirrel overdosed on espresso. We finally managed to construct a cardboard box 'cage' complete with a large hold cut into one side, into which the squirrel waltzed when we placed the box against the wood burner's door. We let it out into the safety of our backyard.
The truth is that from the depth of love, God entered our world as one of us to rescue us and to invite us into a relationship with Him of never-ending love!
I just love this, Tom! Thank you so much!!
