MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury has successfully applied the brakes on a $55 million, three-year fix for its two downtown rail bridges and is now sitting in the driver's seat in planning a project the community hopes will be less of an impact on local merchants, residents and shoppers.
NEW HAVEN — A standing-room-only crowd packed the meeting room at the New Haven town offices Monday night to hear a proposal for a renewable-energy transmission line project that would bring 400 megawatts of wind power and hydropower from upstate New York into the New England grid at the Vermont Electric Power Co. (VELCO) substation in New Haven.
While some welcomed the potentially huge property tax payments the project would bring to New Haven, others worried that it would have an undue adverse impact on the rural landscape.
BRISTOL — Bristol residents overwhelmingly voted to join the Addison County Solid Waste Management District (ACSWMD) in Tuesday's election.
"We're thrilled that people turned out to vote and supported what the selectboard feels is the right decision for Bristol," said Therese Kirby, Bristol town administrator.
The town voted 173 to 8 in favor of joining ACSWMD and 172 to 8, with one spoiled ballot, to ratify the admission agreement worked out between the selectboard and ACSWMD this past July.
SALISBURY — During the last weekend before schools resumed, the beach at Branbury State Park was closed after more than 50 swimmers reported that they were sick to their stomachs.
Vermont State Parks officials closed the beach on Friday, Aug. 21, due to a suspected norovirus outbreak.
ORWELL — The breakfast crowd at Pam's Country Kitchen in Orwell found the pancakes to have a slightly bittersweet taste on Monday morning.
No, Pam LaDuc's batter and the Vermont maple syrup were, as usual, on point.
It's just that the regular customers — some of whom have been eating at the folksy diner on Main Street three or four times a week for more than a decade — knew that their go-to hub for good grub and gossip would be closing its doors for good after the last of Monday's java had been drained from the pot.
MIDDLEBURY — A woman who knew Kenneth Najarian, the bicyclist who was killed when a car driven by Holly Gonyeau struck him on Greenbush Road in Ferrisburgh on June 17, said she doesn't buy the story that Najarian's actions contributed to the tragic crash.
MIDDLEBURY — The state and national health care systems are changing at warp speed, and new Porter Medical Center (PMC) President Lynn Boggs is determined to make sure that Addison County's community hospital isn't left in the dust.
Boggs, during a Monday interview with the Independent as she rounds out the first two months of her tenure, outlined an ambitious agenda that includes preparation of long-range facilities and strategic plans to help guide Porter through the next two decades.

Our goal is to be recognized as an international, human - sized, research - focused pharmaceutical group to develop and deliver innovative products to improve the health and quality of life of patients.
We maintain our high-quality entrepreneurial team spirit, thanks to our scientific expertise, our collaborative spirit and our taste for challenges to be faced.
Our goal is to combine the compliance with targets with integrity, operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
With its company project, CHIESI S.A.S. wants to assert its image both internally and externally.
Transparency, Customer Service, Integrity, Excellence, Respect for individuals and team spirit are the 6 values at the core of its new corporate culture.
Based on these values, a genuine human resources policy has been decided, open on the development of all employees and the search for excellence.
CHIESI S.A.S. wishes to maintain its staff skill level with regard to the market but also give them the opportunity to develop their professional skills.
In this spirit, annual interviews have been formalized so that everyone can identify their individual contribution to the company goals and express their professional development projects.
The company must satisfy all its interlocutors.
"Integrity" should be a priority in the pharmaceutical industry more than anywhere else.
It is essential internally for our collaborators.
Externally, it results in the strictest observance of the law which governs public health.
"Search for excellence" means first, to raise awareness among customers toward the efforts provided by every collaborator and secondly to get them to place the company among privileged partners in terms of information and service.
At CHIESI S.A.S., collaborators represent a significant intrinsic value.
They must be recognized as fundamental stakeholders and be able to develop within the company.
This requires a more complex but more rewarding management of human resources for everyone.
This value also applies to people outside the company and in particular the patients treated with our medicinal products.
No one in a laboratory may, today, master on their own a pharmaceutical process that has become far too complex.
The various departments must therefore agree and work together.
That is why "team spirit" remains a paramount value today for CHIESI S.A.S.

Mary Minshall
June 9, 1938 - April 19, 2017
Mary Minshall was a dedicated wife, loving mother, sweet sister, a caring aunt, and the most wonderful grandmother. She loved to entertain and fill her home with so many loved ones there wasn't much room left to sit or to stand! Her wonderful cooking over the years, including her special chicken and noodles along with her marvelous cheesecake, will be lovingly remembered. Known for her delightful sense of humor, Mary never held a grudge or showed anger. She truly loved each and every person she met. Mary leaves behind a legacy of being generous and always having a special place in her heart for those in need. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by countless friends and family.
In the year 1938, Orson Welles's radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds is broadcast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs held its Hollywood premiere, and the New England area was hit with a raging hurricane across the Atlantic Ocean. In Plainwell, Michigan Lois and Ruth (LaFountain) Papineau welcomed home their newborn daughter, Mary, born on June 9th. Her birth brought much happiness to the family home.
Growing up in Orangeville, her father worked for Goodyear in Akron, Ohio and her mother was a homemaker. Later, they moved to the Gun Lake Tower area where her stepfather, Melvin, who helped to raise her and her three sisters, worked as a factory worker until he later purchased his own gravel pit. Mary had a typical childhood and loved to go both roller skating and ice skating. She was also very fond of her uncle Ray and cousin Butch growing up. At an early age, she began to explore the outdoors and loved to go fishing. Attending Wayland High School through the tenth grade, she married at the tender age of 17 after meeting the man of her dreams; Theodore Minshall. When she spotted him jumping out of a car window, she fell in love instantly and the rest is history! Marrying in her parent's backyard on April 2, 1955, they settled down at his father Pete's farm. It was a successful potato farm, known as Carry Farm. Later, they moved next door to her grandparents where they raised a beautiful family; Christine, Teddy, and Brenda; with niece and nephew Donald Walton and Karen Visser. Theodore was a good provider and owned his own tire business, Minshall Tire. Mary worked at Hooper IGA before later moving to Harding's Market before she retired at the age of 58. She and Theodore had a special relationship and bonded over their equally gifted senses of humor. Knowing that Mary wasn't too fond of snakes, once when she unwrapped one of his gifts, there was a snake in the box! Only a woman like Mary, could enjoy the prank and get a real kick out of it!
Mary hated to stay home for any length of time. She loved to explore and to seek adventure. For family vacations, they visited out west to the states of Colorado, Utah, Vegas, and New Mexico. She also cherished her visits to Maine with her friends Rose and Norm Pickett. Mostly, she was just as content heading north to fish and pretty much lived on Drummond Island each summer and fall. Mary loved the thrill of finding mushrooms, visiting casinos, and camping. She was most relaxed at the campsite or out on the water fishing. In addition to her passion for the outdoors, she also loved all types of animals. She had a unique love of bears and always had at least one up at the camp. Once, she even tried to feed her own Teddy to the bears! On her way home from nearly every vacation, she was already planning her next one! During most any season, however, she read anything she could get her hands on and made a lifetime of reading daily!
Without a book in her lap, she'd have a grandchild instead! She absolutely loved having them over. She cherished each and every one of them and there were plenty to go around! Mary loved to make each and every holiday a memorable one and was known to spoil all of her children, especially at Christmas time. She was a natural when it came to the children and nothing brought her greater joy than taking care of them. Not to mention, she loved to shop! When she wasn't on a vacation, she was out shopping finding just the right this or that to spoil them with! Content at home for short moments, she adored her Dachshund, Dolly who kept her company and gave her plenty of comfort. Described as feisty, yet had a heart of gold, Mary's wonderful collection of memories will be savored for generations to come.
Mary Minshall, age 78, of Plainwell passed away on April 19, 2017. Mary was born on June 9, 1938 to Louis and Ruth Papineau. Left to cherish her memory are children: Christine (Bill) Spark, Teddy, and Brenda (Tom) Chadderdon; niece Karen (Wes) Visser; 8 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; sisters Maureen (Dick) Slider and Cindy (Ron)Truax; as well as several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, Ted, her nephew, Donald; her parents; sister, Nancy; and grandson, Billy. Per Mary's wishes, cremation has taken place. Please visit Mary's memory page at www.lifestorynet.com where you can archive a memory or photo, and sign her memory book online.

St Mary Magdalene Home, Paddington, London
The St Mary Magdalene Home was opened in 1865 30 Weymouth Street, Paddington. It was established as an adjunct to Queen Charlotte's Hospital for Unmarried Mothers, which was founded in 1753 as a maternity and lying-in hospital for 'deserving unmarried women with their first child'. After spending a maximum of fourteen days at the Hospital, a woman and her child could make use of the Home, whose objects were:
to receive unmarried women leaving the Hospital, for a period of one month; to find suitable employment for those able to work, means being taken to watch over their future career; to establish an Infant Home for the children of such as proved worthy of future assistance, the mothers in all such cases to contribute towards the support of their children; and to obtain the services of a Visiting Chaplain, who, in conjunction with the Lady Superintendent, should administer religious instruction to the women.
The house in Weymouth Street could not be secured on a permanent basis and when no other convenient premises could be found in the neighbourhood, the Home was closed in 1867. In 1868, however, a suitable house was acquired at 14 (later renumbered as 26) Ranelagh Road (now Lords Hill Road), Paddington, where operation of the Home was resumed. It was run by the Sisters of St Mary's, Wantage, and in 1890 had 56 inmates.
Admission required a payment (in 1890) of £13, payable in advance in quarterly instalments, plus 5s. a week to support the child once it reached the age of six weeks. Also needed were a recommendation from a clergyman or respectable householder, a medical certificate of health, and a "Queen Charlotte's letter" accepting the woman for confinement and lying-in at Queen Charlotte's Hospital. Inmates were expected to remain at the Home for 12 months, when efforts would be made to find them suitable employment.
St Mary's continued in operation until the 1920s. In the 1880s and 1890s, had a independently run companion establishment at Folkestone.

Q: reset value using javascript Hi guys i want to reset(to old) the values of multiple text boxes when i click on check box. please help

A: In Javascript you can restore a default value of an input field like this:
var myinput = document.getElementById("myinput");
myinput.value = myinput.defaultValue;

HTH

A: I guess you mean restore the original values of the textboxes? If so, here is the required code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RestoreValues() {
   var arrInputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
   for (var i = 0; i < arrInputs.length; i++) {
       var oCurInput = arrInputs[i];
       if (oCurInput.type == "text")
           oCurInput.value = oCurInput.defaultValue;
   }
}
</script>

To restore the values just call the function, for example:
<button type="button" onclick="RestoreValues();">Restore</button>

Live test case: http://jsfiddle.net/yahavbr/Nakjv/2/
Edit: using defaultValue save lots of code. :)

Q: Como tranformar em Caixa Alta a primeira letra de palavras dentro de uma string Tendo uma dada string, como colocar em letra grande (Caixa Alta) a primeira letra de cada palavra?
Por exemplo:
original: 'a música é universal'
Caixa Alta: 'A Música É Universal'
mas também nomes como "anna-karin" bem comum nos países nórdicos. Nesse caso devia ficar "Anna-Karin".
Existe uma solução para todas as linguas?

A: A solução que encontrei, que funciona para a maior parte dos acentos em linguas latinas e germânicas, foi com regex:
string.replace(/([^A-zÀ-ú]?)([A-zÀ-ú]+)/g, function(match, separator, word){
    return separator + word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1);
});

Na regex procuro encontrar um caractér não presente nesta lista [A-zÀ-ú] (opcional, daí o ?) e uma palavra de uma ou mais letras com [A-zÀ-ú]+, ambas com grupo de captura para poder trabalhar dentro da função do replace.
Exemplo:

String.prototype.capitalize = function(){
    return String(this).replace(/([^A-zÀ-ú]?)([A-zÀ-ú]+)/g, function(match, separator, word){
        return separator + word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1);
    });
}

alert('a anna-karin gosta de música!'.capitalize());

A: Outra possibilidade, criada pelo pessoal do PHP.JS com base na função ucwords() do PHP:
function ucwords(str) {

  return (str + '')
    .replace(/^([a-z\u00E0-\u00FC])|\s+([a-z\u00E0-\u00FC])/g, function($1) {

Q: JSON Custom response in all my REST API, I might not know what it is called? So the problem goes like this, for all my REST API endpoints there should be 3 fields always there in my RESPONSE Body like for eg:
{
 "status": "SUCCESS",
 "message": "A list of a recent post",
 "data" : [LIST OF POSTS]
}

or
{
"status" : "NOT_AUTHORIZED",
"message": "User does not have previledge to access this resource",
"errors": ["User does not have Admin access"]
}

So you can get the idea, I want this message status error or data field to be there in all response in my REST API.

A: It could be achieved with a ResponseBodyAdvice:

Allows customizing the response after the execution of an @ResponseBody or a ResponseEntity controller method but before the body is written with an HttpMessageConverter.
Implementations may be registered directly with RequestMappingHandlerAdapter and ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver or more likely annotated with @ControllerAdvice in which case they will be auto-detected by both.

So you could have something like:
@ControllerAdvice
public class MyResponseBodyAdvisor implements ResponseBodyAdvice<Object> {

    @Override
    public boolean supports(MethodParameter returnType,
                            Class<? extends HttpMessageConverter<?>> converterType) {

        return converterType.isAssignableFrom(MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Object beforeBodyWrite(Object body,
                                  MethodParameter returnType,
                                  MediaType selectedContentType,
                                  Class<? extends HttpMessageConverter<?>> selectedConverterType,
                                  ServerHttpRequest request,
                                  ServerHttpResponse response) {

        MyResponseWrapper wrapper = new MyResponseWrapper();
        wrapper.setData(body);
        return wrapper;
    }
}

Where MyResponseWrapper is your class used to wrap the response payload.

A: You can add a Filter to your project and add these to responses before sending the response.
Follow https://stackoverflow.com/a/41825563/4597596 to create a filter.

A: You could use ResponseBodyAdvice<T> to globally intercept the response POJO before it is marshalled into JSON, but this seems to be not suitable since each your REST method is supposed to produce distinct messages based on method's functionality. Besides, this would anyway force you to use some wrapper class for responses.
So, I guess, it's better to wrap data (along with status and message) into response manually in each method


Message #1 Posted by GE (France) on 29 Mar 2002, 10:34 a.m.
I just purchased a new HP32SII at a long-time HP dealer for something like $65.
It has the new horrible color scheme, the 'unprotected' screen, and the keys are painted, but the key feel is very nice (compared to other more recent models).
The dealer told me he had just received a batch of these, and that to his knowledge it was still made.
As I proposed a number of times here, if anyone wants one, brand new unopened (but with french manual), just let me know.
I just bought one of these on Wednesday (3/27) at a Fry's electronics store in Phoenix (Arizona), for $59.99. They had a few more. I didn't ask about more in the pipeline. There was also a selection of all (?) other current HP calcs ('12, '17, '30, '38 (or '39, I don't remember) and '48 or '49 (again, I don't remember).
The Fry's in Arlington, Texas, still had several HP-32SII units in the new color scheme as of noon Friday, along with the 12C, 20S, 30S, 39G, and 48GX.
I bought one a month ago from the buy.com website for $45.00. However, they are no longer in stock at buy.com.
Why did they change the color scheme? In the manual it still refers to the old blue and red color sceme, rather than the new green and light purple scheme. I do like how the area around the LCD panel is silver with black text rather than black with silver text.
Can a color blind person see the new scheme better?
I am color blind and I found the new color scheme is both ugly and diffcult to read. However, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so being color blind my judgment does not have much value.
I am color blind and I found the new color scheme is both ugly and diffcult to read.
Quite the opposite, Chan! Your remarks prove a point I've felt very strongly about: that the new "cool" colors chosen by HP are hard on color-blind people.
It is said that 1 out of every 100 men (not women) is color-blind, being unable to distinguish between red and green, but (I suppose) being able to differentiate the other colors without trouble.
Back when HP was still run by Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Packard, they selected gold and blue shift keys (and labels) for the shifted functions of their calculators -- as far back as the 1974 HP-65. Gold and blue are excellent choices for color-blind people. Turquoise and purple aren't.
The 32SII is a mature product and is not aggressively marketed by HP. This would make me believe the new package is the result of a cost reduction in manufacturing and/or parts.
I have a "new color" HP32SII from two years more or less. As far as I know HP bought great amount of black plastic at lower price from a company near to close that was selling it so cheap due its financial problems..

World's richest man Elon Musk's girlfriend Grimes tests positive for COVID-19
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's girlfriend and singer Grimes on Sunday revealed that she has tested positive for coronavirus. Taking to Instagram, the 32-year-old wrote, "Finally got Covid but weirdly enjoying the Dayquil fever dream 2021."
Last week, Grimes released the Rave Edition of her 2020 album 'Miss Anthropocene'. The original album topped Billboard's Top Dance/ Electronic Albums chart in March and peaked at No 4 on Billboard's Alternative Albums chart.
For the uninitiated, the Canadian artist has been with Elon Musk since 2018. Their son, X Æ A-12, was born in May 2020. Explaining the meaning of her baby's name, Grimes had said, "X stands for "the unknown variable; Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence); A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent." "A-12 (Archangel 12), the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever," added Musk.
Elon Musk surpasses Jeff Bezos to become world's richest person:
On Thursday, Elon Musk became the richest person in the world, surpassing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who had held the title since 2017. According to a report, the net worth of Musk is more than USD 185 billion, up from USD 27 billion in early 2020. Thursday's increase in Tesla's share price pushed Musk past Jeff Bezos, whose current net worth is about USD 184 billion.
Musk's wealth surge over the past year marks the fastest rise to the top of the rich list in history, said a report. Musk started 2020 with his worth about USD 27 billion and was barely in the top 50 richest people. Tesla's shares were recently trading at about USD 790, up more than 4 per cent in trading on Thursday. The company's market value has grown to USD 737.6 billion. Tesla's rocketing share price which has increased more than nine-fold over the past year along with his generous pay package has added more than USD 150 billion to his net worth.

For the Angry Birds Toons episode of a similar name, see The Porktrait.
The Portrait is the eleventh episode of Angry Birds Stella Animated Series.
Pigs aren't known for their skills with the paintbrush. Only a true artist can capture Gale's beauty. Luckily, she knows just the bird for the job!
The episode starts with Willow painting a portrait of Dahlia, Stella, Luca. and Poppy standing on a pink ball. But then Poppy does silly faces, and Willow gets her to stop. But then Dahlia, Stella, Luca. and Poppy notice Gale's castle.
At the castle, several minion pigs are sounding the trumpet while Gale is walking with Handsome Pig. An Artist Pig shows Gale a blank wood portrait. He takes off the cover, but then it lands on Gale, and the Handsome Pig tried to pull her out but got kicked away. Gale notices a silly portrait of herself and then gets mad at the Artist Pig. She then throws an easel board on him, She kicks a painting colour board, but then she sees the colours left by the colour board resembled Willow's hat.
The scene then fades to Willow, where she is painting a portrait of the four birds. But then Willow notices small orange paint inside the brown paint, so she tells Poppy, Stella, Luca, and Dahlia so she can get more paint. Willow walks to a red flower that squirts out paint, but she gets captured by a net.
Four minion pigs take Willow to Gale's castle and Willow flys out of the net and bumps into Gale. Gale gives her a paintbrush to paint a portrait of her. Willow asks her why.
Gale tells Willow that the portrait of her is silly, but Willow refuses, so she hides in her hat. Gale orders the two minion pigs to bribe her, but they failed. So Gale orders the Handsome Pig to take Willow's hat to burn it, so he quickly takes it. Willow, shocked, sees the Handsome Pig about to burn it. Willow, worried about her hat, says she will do anything and Gale gives her the paintbrush. Willow regretfully accepts, then the Handsome Pig gives her hat back to her. Willow then fixed Gale's portrait. The Artist Pig then gives her a painting board, but then several minion pigs have more paint. Gale shows the minion pigs a robe, then Willow starts painting it. But then several minion pigs watch Willow painting, and then the pigs start painting with her. The pigs start making a mess, then four minion pigs splash the Handsome Pig with blue paint. Gale notices the minion pigs doing the mess, and then she stops them. Willow finishes making the portrait, which was Gale in her robe. The Artist Pig made a portrait of her, so she breaks the paintbrush into two.
Willow was about to leave when she hears the Artist Pig crying. She then gives him a paintbrush and he thanks her for giving him another paintbrush. Willow then adds something to Gale's portrait, and then she leaves. The minion pigs then start laughing at Gale's portrait. Gale and the Handsome Pig were walking when they heard laughing, so they check. Gale starts crying because Willow put a pig's snout on her beak. The minion pigs then keep laughing at Gale's misery.
Willow left the castle and walked back home.
This is the first time the Artist Pig had a major role.
This is the second time Willow took off her hat. The first was in The Prankster.
This time, Handsome Pig took his wig off, thus proving it was actually a wig.
This was the first episode to show many pigs befriending a bird.
This was the first episode to show Artist Pig and Willow. The second being The Premonition.
This is the only instance Gale wore a robe.
The final version of Gale's portrait.
When Artist Pig starts drawing, he splatters it. However, when he appears after that, those splatters are removed.
Most of the Minion Pigs messes on Willow's portrait and onto the palace disappeared.
Also the messes on the walls have been removed after they make it, but only the yellow paint (big one) does get removed.
Yet again, the pigs created 17 pig noses on the wall. 4 of them get removed.
When all of the Minion Pigs splatter paint on Handsome Pig, it also yet disappears.
Gale actually wore a red robe, but upon closer inspection of her portrait, she was depicted wearing a blue one.
She was also depicted sitting on a wooden throne, when she was not.

47,052 Bridges Deficient, Report Says
by TankTransport · June 11, 2019
The length of America's structurally deficient bridges, if placed end-to-end, would span nearly 1,100 miles, the distance between Chicago and Houston, a new examination of federal government data shows. And it's a problem that hits close to home.
Structurally Deficient Bridges
The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) analysis of the recently-released U.S. Department of Transportation 2018 National Bridge Inventory (NBI) database reveals 47,052 bridges are classified as structurally deficient and in poor condition.
Cars, trucks and school buses cross these compromised structures 178 million times every day, the data show. Nearly 1,775 are on the Interstate Highway System.
The most traveled structurally deficient bridges are on parts of Route 101, Interstate 405 and Interstate 5 in California, where daily crossings are as high as 289,000 per day.
Although the number of structurally deficient bridges is down slightly compared to 2017, the pace of improvement has slowed to the lowest point since ARTBA began compiling this report five years ago.
"Sadly, this report is no April Fool's joke. At the current pace, it would take more than 80 years to replace or repair the nation's structurally deficient bridges. That's longer than the average life expectancy of a person living in the U.S.," said Dr. Alison Premo Black, the ARTBA chief economist who conducted the analysis. "America's bridge network is outdated, underfunded and in urgent need of modernization. State and local government just haven't been given the necessary resources to get the job done."
The report comes as the backdrop to ongoing discussions between Congress and the Trump administration about how to address the nation's transportation infrastructure challenges.
"The best way to bridge the infrastructure investment gap is for Congress and Trump administration to provide a permanent revenue solution for the federal Highway Trust Fund," ARTBA President Dave Bauer said.
The Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is the source, on average, of more than 50 percent of highway and bridge capital investments made annually by state transportation departments. HTF is facing major financial difficulties. Absent congressional action, states could see a 40-percent cut in federal investment beginning in 2021.
"Since the 2016 election, leaders on both sides of the aisle have regularly cited upgrading America's infrastructure as an area for common ground," Bauer adds. "This report makes clear that it's about time Congress and the Trump administration stop talking and start solving this national problem."
Including structurally deficient bridges, there are nearly 235,000 bridges – or about 38 percent – in need of some sort of structural repair, rehabilitation or replacement, according to ARTBA's analysis of the NBI data. The association estimates the cost to make the identified repairs is nearly $171 billion.
"Structurally Deficient" Change
Black noted the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) changed the definition of "structurally deficient" in January 2018 as part of a final rule on highway and bridge performance measures required by the 2012 MAP-21 federal surface transportation law.
Two measures FHWA previously used to classify bridges as structurally deficient are no longer used. This includes bridges where the overall structural evaluation was rated in poor or worse condition, or where the adequacy of waterway openings was insufficient. The new definition limits the classification to bridges where one of the key structural elements – the deck, superstructure, substructure or culverts – are rated in poor or worse condition.
States with the largest number of structurally deficient bridges are: Iowa (4,675 bridges); Pennsylvania (3,770); Oklahoma (2,540); Illinois (2,273); Missouri (2,116); North Carolina (1,871); California (1,812); New York (1,757); Louisiana (1,678); and Mississippi (1,603).
Those with the most structurally deficient bridges as a percent of their total bridge inventory are: Rhode Island (23 percent); West Virginia (19.8 percent); Iowa (19.3 percent); South Dakota (16.7 percent); Pennsylvania (16.5 percent); Maine (13.1 percent); Louisiana (13 percent), Puerto Rico (11.7 percent), Oklahoma (10.9 percent) and North Dakota (10.7 percent).
Other highlights in the report are:
47,052 of America's 616,087 bridges are "structurally deficient" and in poor condition.
The pace of repair slowed to its lowest point in a half-decade; bridges with structural deficiencies dropped by just 1 percent last year.
Brooklyn (N.Y.), Arlington Memorial (Washington, D.C.-Va.), Pensacola (Fla.), San Mateo-Hayward (Calif.) and Vicksburg (Miss.) bridges are among notables on the list.
Average age of a structurally deficient bridge is 62 years, compared to 40 years for non-deficient bridges.
235,000 (38 percent) U.S. bridges need repair, replacement or major rehabilitation.
18,842 (one out of every three) interstate highway bridges have identifiable repair needs.

What's wrong with sugary snacks, anyway?
Sugary snacks taste so good — but they aren't so good for your teeth or your body. The candies, cakes, cookies and other sugary foods that kids love to eat between meals can cause tooth decay. Some sugary foods have a lot of fat in them, too. Kids who consume sugary snacks eat many different kinds of sugar every day, including table sugar (sucrose) and corn sweeteners (fructose). Starchy snacks can also break down into sugars once they're in your mouth.
How can I "snack smart" to protect myself from tooth decay?
Before you start munching on a snack, ask yourself what's in the food you've chosen. Is it loaded with sugar? If it is, think again. Another choice would be better for your teeth. And keep in mind that certain kinds of sweets can do more damage than others. Gooey or chewy sweets spend more time sticking to the surface of your teeth. Because sticky snacks stay in your mouth longer than foods that you quickly chew and swallow, they give your teeth a longer sugar bath. You should also think about when and how often you eat snacks. Do you nibble on sugary snacks many times throughout the day, or do you usually just have dessert after dinner? Damaging acids form in your mouth every time you eat a sugary snack. The acids continue to affect your teeth for at least 20 minutes before they are neutralized and can't do any more harm. So, the more times you eat sugary snacks during the day, the more often you feed bacteria the fuel they need to cause tooth decay.
If you eat sweets, it's best to eat them as dessert after a main meal instead of several times a day between meals. Whenever you eat sweets — in any meal or snack — brush your teeth well with a fluoride toothpaste afterward.
Candy bars aren't the only culprits. Foods such as pizza, breads, and hamburger buns may also contain sugars. Check the label. The new food labels identify sugars and fats on the Nutrition Facts panel on the package. Keep in mind that brown sugar, honey, molasses and syrups also react with bacteria to produce acids, just as refined table sugar does. These foods also are potentially damaging to teeth.

Microsoft Teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, meetings, files, and apps together in one place. Because it's built on Office 365, schools benefit from integration with their familiar Office apps and services. It delivers enterprise-grade security and compliance that is extensible and customizable to fit the needs of every school.
With Microsoft Teams, your school or institution can create collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, or communicate with school staff – all from a single experience in Office 365 for Education.
This guide is designed to get you started quickly with configuration recommendations specific to Teams in schools. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it is a good starting point.
If you've already deployed Teams (as a pilot or full deployment) and are looking for pointers on how to use Teams, see Microsoft Teams for Education.
Check your environment's readiness for Teams.
Deploy School Data Sync to make it easier for teachers to automatically create Teams. Contact https://aka.ms/sdssupport for deployment assistance.
Configure the correct ports and protocols for Teams. See Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges.
Prepare your school's network for Teams.
Choose a team type. Teams for Education offers three new types of teams (for a total of four). To understand the differences and use cases of each, see Choose a team type to collaborate in Teams.
Assemble a group of individuals from staff, teachers, and the educator community to act as the stakeholder & decision-making group for your Teams deployment.
Collaboration and communication is about people! Pick the most relevant scenarios for your organization instead of talking about features and functions. Check out the Microsoft 365 FastTrack Productivity Library for examples to help you define scenarios for your school. Successful Teams deployments often center around highly collaborative teams that work closely together, such as classrooms, professional learning communities, and extracurricular student groups.
You'll want to conduct an initial Teams pilot with your educators, both champions and early adopters, for one or more of the scenarios you selected above. A pilot gives you valuable information about how Office 365 and Teams are received in your organization. Select an interested group of users and a prioritized business scenario to get started.
Once your pilots are complete, you'll have the feedback you need to plan your broad Teams deployment. Be sure your deployment plan integrates your prioritized scenarios to ensure your school is getting the most from Office 365 and Teams.
To successfully drive adoption of Office 365 and Teams, stay focused on your educator's experience. Here's a quick checklist of our best practices to get you started.
Read the Office 365 Adoption Guidance for best practices. Also available to you is our supplemental content for creating a change management strategy for Microsoft Teams to document your approach.
Study Office 365 activity reports to understand usage across your school. If you aren't an Office 365 admin, ask your admin to give you Reports Reader permissions so you can access activity reports.
Capture feedback from your uducators on their experience with Office 365 and Teams. Use a channel in Teams when your school has fewer than 5000 individuals. Use a public group in Yammer when your school is larger than this current membership limit in Teams.
Nurture your champions and highlight your wins. Reward educators for embracing these new tools and using them in innovative ways. This, above anything, ensures continued adoption of Office 365 and Teams.
Teams is a cloud-based service. Once an educator or student has a valid license, they can run the desktop, web, and mobile Teams clients. They can install these clients themselves -- the IT admin doesn't need to deploy these clients.
You can manage individual user licenses for Microsoft Teams by using the Office 365 Admin Center or by using PowerShell. See Office 365 licensing for Teams for information about both methods. This is valuable to understand if you are interested in piloting Teams before broad enablement.
Before you turn on Teams for your school, make sure you have the proper controls in place. A piloting program helps significantly to ensure the proper users are able to use and give feedback on what types of controls enhance the usage and management of the product.
Below are some sample pilot user groups and the teams that could be of interest.
Use Teams internally in IT for project work, collaboration, and issue resolution. Select staff departments for their project work and collaboration. Identify educators to become champions who are excited about Teams in the classroom and in educator collaboration. Get students excited about how Teams can help them outside of the classroom. Identify student champions that can use Teams within their extracurricular groups.
For help and support with Teams licenses or other issues, submit an inquiry at https://edusupport.microsoft.com/support.
School Data Sync makes it easier for teachers to automatically create Teams. Contact https://aka.ms/sdssupport for deployment assistance.
You'll need to have Global Administrator permissions to use the Office 365 admin center to manage Teams for your school.
From the Office 365 Admin Center, sign in with your Global Administrator credentials and select Admin.
Select Microsoft Teams from the list.
After the Microsoft Teams settings page opens, the configuration options will come into view. From here, you may manage your licenses.
The General section allows you to configure the following settings for your entire institution across all the license types you may have.
Show organizational chart in personal profile.
Use Skype for Business for recipients who don't have Teams.
You can enable email integration with channels, as well as create a restricted senders list. To turn on or turn off email integration, move the toggle to Off or On, then select Save.
The Allow senders list helps you to control who can email teams within your organization.
You can enable external apps, new external apps, and sideloading for apps in Teams. To disable or enable the setting, move the toggle to Off or On, then choose Save.
Enabling external apps provides a drop-down list for you to select the applications you'd like in your institution, which allows teachers to combine their favorite apps to work within the Teams platform. If you select Enable new external apps by default, new apps will automatically show up in your list as they become available.
The ability to sideload an app is only available to non-guest team members. This is useful if you have any programming courses or are testing any custom learning management systems that can integrate with Teams. To learn more, see The Microsoft Teams developer platform.
By enabling Assignments, educators can provide assignments and iterative feedback to students.
Once external apps in Teams is enabled, educators can customize apps to make them available for their students through tabs. Tabs let you customize a channel to include content and capabilities your team needs every day. They provide quick access to frequently used documents and cloud services. There are several built-in tabs such as Files.
In the Teams client, users can add tabs for Word documents, PowerPoint, Forms, OneNote Class Notebooks, Assignments, and more. Over time, more tabs will be added, both from Microsoft and from partners.
You can enable various forms of cloud storage within Teams. Currently, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and ShareFile are supported. To disable or enable the setting, toggle the switch to Off or On, and then select Save. When these settings are enabled, any member of a team can add a new provider in which documents can be stored to or retrieved from.
Teams uses SharePoint as the default file storage provider. For more information, see How SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business interact with Teams. To learn how your quota is calculated and how best to manage it, see Manage site collection storage limits. If you don't want to manage each site's collection, you'll also learn how to let the service automatically handle that for you.
You should only have Education listed in your license types. The dropdown includes Education-Faculty and staff, Education-Student, and Guest. The system can only differentiate users based on the licenses you've assigned them. If you only have one license type, the settings here can be treated as tenant-wide settings.
To enable a license type to have access to Teams, move the toggle to On, then select Save. This is just a temporary switch; eventually, you'll need to manage user access to Teams through user licenses as you would for all other Office workloads.
For help and support with tenant-wide settings or other issues, submit an inquiry at https://edusupport.microsoft.com/support.
The new Microsoft Teams admin center is here! Starting in March 2018, we're gradually migrating settings to it from both the current Skype for Business admin center and the Microsoft Teams experience in the Office 365 admin center. If a setting has been migrated, you'll see a notification and then be directed to the setting's location in the new Microsoft Teams admin center. For more information, see Manage Teams during the transition to the new Microsoft Teams admin center.
As part of the migration to the new Microsoft Teams admin center, how to configure Teams by license type is accomplished via policy. The policy types are accessible via the Admin Center navigation. See below for an example list of Messaging policies.
By default, every new user will get the Global policy (tenant-level settings).
A user can be assigned a pre-canned user policy created by Microsoft if it meets your requirements. These pre-canned policies are not editable by tenant admins. If you want to manage these in the future, create new custom policies and assign the custom policies to users.
A custom policy can be assigned to any user. To do this, click + New policy, set the features, and click Save. This custom policy can be assigned to a user through the Users tab or via script.
Use the Powershell module to run a script to create and assign multiple policies. See the Appendix for script examples and documentation.
In the Admin Center, create a new policy and assign on the Users tab.
Until a custom policy is assigned to a user, the user will be using the Global policy setting. This means that if Chat is enabled in the Global policy and disabled in the custom Student policy, until the custom policy is assigned, the Student will be able to chat. In this case, it may be easier to set Chat as disabled globally and use custom policies to enable Chat for Faculty users.
See if any of the available policies in your tenants suit your requirements by running Get-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy.
If not, create a new policy by running New-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy -Identity <policy name> -<parameter name> -<parameter value>.
See PowerShell script sample - Create and assign a messaging policy.
Teams has clients available for web, desktop (Windows and Mac), and mobile (Android and iOS). These clients all require an active internet connection and do not support an offline mode. To get the latest details on the functionality and methods of distribution of each of these clients, check out our topic to Get clients for Teams.
The setup file for the Teams client is an executable file that can be downloaded by admins and end users from the Teams downloads page. Educators and students on desktops can install the application if they have the appropriate privileges. IT Admins can also distribute the installer and through their existing client distribution tools.
End users with mobile devices can download the Microsoft Teams app from the mobile platform's app store.

Matterhorn: "For climbing okay, but not very special"
Dani Arnold
The Matterhorn was his first four-thousander. Dani Arnold was 18 years old when he first scaled the prestige mountain of his home country from the Höernli Hut on the normal route in 2002. Today the 31-year-old is one of the best climbers in Switzerland. Since then, he has been "maybe eight times on top" of the Matterhorn, Dani writes to me from Pakistan, where he is currently trying to climb first through the North Face of the seven-thousander Latok I, along with the German Huber brothers and the Austrian Mario Walder. In recent years, Arnold made headlines in particular with his speed records. Since 2011, he is holding the record on the Eiger North Face. He climbed the wall on the route of the first ascent in two hours and 28 minutes. Thus Dani was 20 minutes faster than the previous record holder Ueli Steck. This April, he also broke Steck's speed record on the Matterhorn North Face. It took Arnold an hour and 46 minutes, spending ten minutes less on the wall than Ueli did in 2009. The Matterhorn, 150 years after the first ascent, from the perspective of a professional climber:
Dani, all over the world the Matterhorn is a symbol for Switzerland. How do you see this mountain? Or in other words, what does it mean to you?

"Recovery of dead is always sad – not only on the Matterhorn"
Helmi Lerjen, mountain guide and rescuer
Even the first ascent of the Matterhorn 150 years ago ended in tragedy. Four team members died during the descent from the summit, when a rope ruptured. Since then, more than 500 climbers died on the "Horu", as the locals call the Matterhorn – more than on any other mountain in Switzerland. Year after year there are between 2,500 and 3,000 summit attempts, also resulting in a lot of work for mountain rescuers. Helmut called "Helmi" Lerjen comes from a true mountain guide family. In the fourth generation, the Lerjens are guiding clients on mountains like the Matterhorn. Helmi, who is living with his wife and daughter in the small village of Täsch, close to Zermatt, has also been working for the Mountain Rescue Zermatt for almost 15 years. The Matterhorn, 150 years after the first ascent, from the perspective of a mountain rescuer:

"Three times through Zermatt is too little for the Matterhorn"
Ascent on the Matterhorn (Photo: © Christoph Frutiger)
Probably Richard Lehner would find the summit even blindfolded. The veteran mountain guide from Zermatt has reached the highest point of the Matterhorn at 4,478 meters 650 times. This is not the record but nevertheless he would deserve the title "Mr. Matterhorn". The 76-year-old has passed on his passion for the mountains to his children. Two of his sons are mountain guides too, one is a ski instructor. Richard Lehner is one of 87 listed active mountain guides of the Alpin Center Zermatt, the local Mountain Guides Association. The Matterhorn, 150 years after the first ascent, from the perspective of a mountain guide:
Richard, all over the world the Matterhorn is a symbol for Switzerland. How do you see this mountain? Or in other words, what does it mean to you?
As a mountain guide, I have been working mainly on the Matterhorn. I have scaled the mountain 650 times. I was on top for the last time five years ago. For me, it has always been a beautiful mountain.
650 climbs – how often did you find yourself in critical situations?

150 years ago: Triumph and tragedy on the Matterhorn
The normal route via the Hörnli Ridge (© Photopress/Mammut/Robert Boesch)
The clock is running. In a week from now, the countdown clock on the station square in Zermatt will jump to zero. On 14 July, exactly 150 years ago, the Matterhorn was first climbed. No other mountain in Switzerland embodies the country more than this shapely four-thousander. And that's not just because of a famous chocolate brand that is sold around the world, the bars of which modeled like the Matterhorn. Every year, 2,500 to 3,000 climbers try to reach the 4,478-meter-high summit – most of them via the Hörnli Ridge, the normal route that was also taken by the first ascenders headed by the Englishman Edward Whymper. The Hörnli Hut at 3,260 meters, starting point of most aspirants, has been rebuilt and modernized at great expense. In time for the Matterhorn anniversary it was finished. On the day itself, the mountain should be left in peace. Therefore the Matterhorn will be closed for ascents on 14 July – in order to remember all the people who died on the mountain.

Making the decision to bring in a professional to help your aging loved one is never easy. The choice is made even more difficult when you must decide between in-home care and a long-term care facility. Both options offer advantages and are administered by a caring team of qualified healthcare professionals. However, many families would agree that working with an in-home care agency provides a more satisfactory experience. Learn more about in-home care and long-term care facilities to make an informed decision for your elderly loved one.
In-home care has become one of the most requested services among the elderly community. This type of specialized care is recommended for individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as meal preparation, grooming, hygiene, and light housekeeping duties. In-home care is primarily used among seniors who do not drive and need transportation to places like stores, salons, and doctor appointments. For elderly loved ones that live alone, in-home caregivers can also provide seniors with the companionship needed to reduce the risk of social isolation and depression. Other services such as medication reminders and help with bill paying can be provided.
What Are the Pros and Cons of In-Home Care?
In-home care services allow elderly adults the chance to receive day-to-day help with personal care while maintaining their dignity and a high quality of life. One of the biggest benefits of in-home care is the ability to maintain the comforts of home. Many seniors are resistant when asked to move out of their home. With in-home care, your loved one can remain at home where they are most comfortable and in a familiar location. An in-home care provider can also offer seniors one-on-one attention, as well as personalized care and compassion.
Many seniors, especially those struggling with health conditions like dementia, find comfort in routines. One important aspect of in-home care is the ability to provide seniors with a regular routine with people that are familiar to them. Through personalized scheduling, your loved one can maintain a daily routine that includes bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, exercise, and social interaction. By creating a healthy routine, seniors are able to retain some control over their lives and minimize confusion. In-home care is also customized for each patient meaning your loved one will receive the care and companionship that best meets their needs and personality.
Unlike long-term care facilities which provide the same services to each patient, in-home care offers a more personalized and flexible approach to care. For seniors who wish to maintain a higher level of independence, it can be more minimal. Seniors who are immobile or require more extensive "hands-on" care may desire more daily services, such as help with bathing, toileting, and other basic hygiene tasks. In short, in-home care can be tailored to fit the needs of your loved one. Another minor perk that many seniors enjoy with in-home care? The ability to keep their beloved pets in their home.
Another major advantage of choosing in-home care is the peace of mind that comes with it. Many families can find serenity in knowing their loved one remains in the family home while still receiving the care that they need to thrive. When working with an in-home care agency, families are regularly updated about the well-being of their loved ones. The elderly adult can also maintain a quiet and peaceful existence without the noise and chaos that many nursing homes create. However, there are some downsides to in-home care. Living at home, even with the help of an in-home care agency, can be slightly disadvantageous in the event of a medical emergency.
When in-home care is not a viable option, moving to a long-term care facility may be an alternative solution. Long-term assisted living facilities provide seniors with round-the-clock supervision, as well as hygiene and grooming assistance, and other healthcare services. Social and recreational activities are also scheduled on a regular basis to help seniors maintain proper socialization for their mental and emotional health. Foodservice and housekeeping are also provided in most long-term care facilities.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Long-Term Care?
Long-term care facilities have both pros and cons that may affect your decision. One of the biggest advantages of living in a long-term care facility is the fully-serviced environment designed to meet the unique needs of aging adults. Staff will administer all housekeeping duties and ensure that the space is clean and organized. The facility is also equipped with safety precautions such as ample handrails, ramps, and wheelchair and walker-friendly spaces. Some long-term care facilities also offer various amenities, such as activity centers, staffed kitchens, and convenient on-site salons and stores.
However, there are several downsides to choosing a long-term care facility. First, long-term care facilities can be very expensive. In the past five years, the cost of living in a long-term care facility has increased 3.5 percent each year. Not being able to remain in the family home is also a huge negative for seniors and their families. Your loved one may not feel comfortable moving out of their home and may dislike living in a senior facility and perhaps even having to share a room with another senior. It is important to consider these aspects when comparing in-home care with long-term care facilities.
Many families struggle with the decision to choose the best living situation for their aging parents. While including your loved one in the decision, it is important to locate a care service that best fits your family's unique needs and budget. Start by figuring out how much help your loved one really needs. Also be realistic about how much help you and your family are able to provide. In the majority of cases, in-home care services are sufficient for most family's needs. For more information, contact an in-home care agency today.

An Introduction to Electrodynamics
Peter Davidson
Deliberate and careful explanation of difficult concepts allows this book to be a useful tool for students struggling with the difficult subject of electrodynamics
Comprehensive coverage of topics taught on advanced undergraduate courses on electrodynamics
Engaging historical asides are dotted throughout to help bring the topic alive
Introduces the topic of magnetohydrodynamics at an elementary level
An Introduction to Electrodynamics provides an excellent foundation for those undertaking a course on electrodynamics, providing an in-depth yet accessible treatment of topics covered in most undergraduate courses, but goes one step further to introduce advanced topics in applied physics, such as fusions plasmas, stellar magnetism and planetary dynamos.
Some of the central ideas behind electromagnetic waves, such as three-dimensional wave propagation and retarded potentials, are first explored in the introductory background chapters and explained in the much simpler context of acoustic waves. The inclusion of two chapters on magnetohydrodynamics provides the opportunity to illustrate the basic theory of electromagnetism with a wide variety of physical applications of current interest. Davidson places great emphasis on the pedagogical development of ideas throughout the text, and includes many detailed illustrations and well-chosen exercises to complement the material and encourage student development.

en -> is ethernet prefix. Given that there are other types of ccw devices that is ok.
cww -> is type of driver used, which is not necessary in the name.
OK. I suppose "en600" might be too sloppy/short, but "enccw600" seems okay?
Care to open a ticket on https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues so that we can find an upstreamable solution? We don't really want to introduce a permanent Ubuntu delta for this, especially as this will touch code. Thanks!
Imho, enccw600 is confusing. FIrst of all, I have no idea why ccw code path is compiled on all architectures when this bus is only present on S/390.
Furthermore that's the only bus one can have ethernet devices (and dasd disk drives) on.
Thus all network nics end up with "ccw" in the name, which is weird. Thus I do want to drop the static prefix of ccw, which has no meaning (unlike e.g. letters in the PCI enumeration).
I've contacted original contributer of the ccw names, no response yet. Will propose upstream too.
* Add a snippet to migrate existing network configuration to new names.


I'm having a small dispute with one of my peers on this... which is going nowhere. In my opinion this is completely right. It is an unknown Myo possessing multiple sensors, and we are talking about the data of the sensors here.
"The data supplied by a Myo sensor [...]"
"The data supplied by Myo's sensors [...]"
My thoughts on this are, that the first is definitely incorrect, because the Myo itself is not a sensor, but consists of multiple. The second is missing the article, now I am pretty sure that I have to use an article, as a Myo is nothing unique, there are multiple existing Myos and I have to specify whether I mean any Myo or a specific one by use of an article.
So my question is what the correct combination of articles possessive-s etc. would be here.
People don't say: "People use a human's legs to walk.", they say: "People use human legs to walk".
I am by no means an expert in grammar, so I would like to know, where the difference between the sentences is. Is it based on the fact that "People" has no article? Or is "People use a human's legs to walk" in fact correct grammar but only doesn't make sense, because people don't all use the same legs of a single human to walk?
There are subtle differences. All suggestions are grammatically valid, but the context may invalidate some of them.
My thoughts on this are, that the first is definitely incorrect, because the Myo itself is not a sensor.
Your reasoning is invalid. A car door is "the door of a car", it does not imply that "a car is a door".
Similarly, a Myo sensor is "the sensor of a Myo".
This is correct, as long as your statement applies to all the sensors that are found on every Myo. It is a universal statement.
Note: pedantically, this implies that Myo sensors all (individually) supply data. This distinction is very minute, so it may be overly pedantic for your current case. But I thought it'd be interesting to point it out.
"The data supplied by a Myo's sensors [...]"
Here, "a Myo's sensors" means "the sensors of a Myo [product]".
This is correct, provided that it is correct to call the armband "a Myo". I would assume that that is indeed the case.
Note: pedantically, this implies that there is combined data that is supplied by the sensors (as a group). This distinction is very minute, so it may be overly pedantic for your current case. But I thought it'd be interesting to point it out.
The absence of the article implies that you are talking about the company (presumably called Myo), not the product (presumably also called Myo).
A Mercedes' car doors are always high in quality.
Mercedes' car doors are always high in quality.
The first refers to the car, the second refers to the company.
This is grammatically correct, as long as your statement applies to all the sensors that are produced by the Myo company.
You're right that the use of an article changes the meaning (from the Myo product to the Myo company).
there are multiple existing Myos and I have to specify whether I mean any Myo or a specific one by use of an article.
You're correct when you say that using the article makes it clear that you're referring to a product directly. However, if there are many products (or types of product) called Myo, then "a Myo" does not help with disambiguating which of the products you're referring to.
"a Myo" still describes all possible products named Myo. However, it's possible that your context has already made it clear which type you're focusing on.
e.g. if this is found in a document which explains how to use a particular type of Myo, then it's contextually obvious that you're focusing on this particular type of Myo.
Their examples are correct, but their reasoning is flawed and their example is contrived. No one says "People use human legs", because you can omit the "human" without changing the meaning: "People use legs".
"People" already inherently means you're talking about humans. However, the same is not true for "The data supplied by a Myo's sensors", because "data" does not inherently mean you're talking about Myo or sensors.
Their argument for not using the possessive is flawed. They seem to be arguing that one is correct and the other is incorrect, but that it not the case. Both are correct, but they have different meanings.
This Mercedes has a BMW engine.
In other words, the engine is made by BMW (the company).
This Mercedes has a BMW's engine.
Comparatively, this example states that the engine was taken from a BMW car.
If the engine was made by BMW but never put into a car (before it was put into the Mercedes), then only example 1 is correct.
If the engine was built by another company (e.g. Volkswagen), placed into a BMW, and then placed into a Mercedes, then only example 2 is correct.

Birdie Africa: The Lost Boy
Almost 30 years ago, 13-year-old Birdie Africa became the face of the MOVE disaster, the only child to survive the bombing of that infamous Osage Avenue house. Last Fall he drowned in a cruise-ship hot tub, as alone and mysterious in death as he was in the city's greatest tragedy.
By Jason Fagone· 2/27/2014, 7:00 a.m.
TWO YEARS AFTER the Bowden interview, in 1997, Mike joined the Army. He worked for the next four years as a military videographer, shooting training videos, but it didn't suit him. Eventually he got a job as a long-haul trucker, spending five days a week on the highways, alone with his thoughts.
Even as he tried to recede into anonymity, journalists continued to seek him out. In 2001, a documentarian named Jason Osder began looking for a way to make a film about the MOVE bombing. As an 11-year-old living in Montgomery County, he had seen the smoke rising above the skyline that day, and it stayed with him. Osder, now an assistant professor at the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, eventually found his way to the basement of Temple University's Paley Library, started looking through old VHS tapes, and discovered 13-year-old Mike's October 1985 deposition. There was something foreboding about Mike's downcast face and demeanor, and the very first frames established that he had come into this world from a place with wildly different codes and values.
"That was the moment," Osder says, "I was like, 'There is a film here.'"
With the blessing of Mike's mentor, Shrager, Osder sat down with Mike in 2002. Mike was 30 now, the father of two.
In the footage, Mike could easily pass for 19. His head is shaved, and he has a thin black mustache. He wears a stylish sweater. His eyes are dark and his voice is quiet as he tells the story from the beginning, seemingly with difficulty, reluctance. "MOVE was part of my past," he says. "I mean, I have two children. I don't force anything on my children. I let them do what they want. They make their own decisions. Healthy decisions. But I mean, it was basically—some of it I do respect. I try not to eat a lot of … I try not to eat a lot of red meats and whatever. Things like that. I try not to eat that stuff. Some of it was good and some of it's bad. You take what's good and leave what's bad." At the end of the interview, Osder asks him if he blames the police for the bombing. "In the beginning, I mean, I did," Mike says. "But I mean, looking at it now, I mean, they both had a part to play in it. But I think they should have gave us time to get out, maybe. Maybe my mom would be alive."
As compelling as the interview is, none of it appears in Osder's film. He decided he could tell a more powerful story with archival footage exclusively. In Let the Fire Burn, Osder comes back to Mike's deposition again and again, using a child's testimony to guide the viewer through a wilderness of competing narratives and shocking events. It works spectacularly, for a couple of reasons. One, Mike is honest. He seems guileless, incapable of lying—a valuable trait in a witness to a tragedy whose every component is highly contested by adults with motives and agendas. "I realized that as a witness, he was unassailable," Osder says. "He might be wrong, but he's still telling you his truth." Two, Mike is sympathetic. He's the person we identify with. How could we not? No one has been through what Mike has, but "everyone relates to being a kid."
This is exactly why Philadelphians have clung to Mike and his story over the years. It would take multiple lifetimes to untangle every thread of the MOVE bombing—a knot of racial animus, class resentments, police misconduct, political cravenness and civic negligence. But we don't have to try if we focus on Mike. Exactly one indisputably blameless person emerged from Osage Avenue that day in 1985. Jason Osder's film only acknowledges and brings to the foreground the centrality of Mike Ward/Birdie Africa in the imagination of Philadelphia—that Mike/Birdie became not just the lasting symbol of the bombing, but the repository of an entire city's fascination, horror and guilt.
Osder finished the movie early last year. He decided not to send a copy to Mike, thinking he'd prefer not to be disturbed. He figured Mike could attend a local showing if he was interested, and certainly he'd be welcome. A week before the film's October theatrical opening in New York, Osder got the news.
ACCORDING TO THE autopsy report of the medical examiner of Brevard County, Florida, Mike was healthy when he died. Heart normal, arteries clear. No evidence of aneurysm, skull fracture or liver damage. Toxicology tests for evidence of drug use—amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, opiates—were all negative. Only two findings were remarkable: The lungs contained a little less than half an ounce of "blood-tinged watery fluid," consistent with death by drowning; and the body's blood ethanol level was .156—enough to produce disorientation, but not generally enough to be fatal. The report listed the cause of death as drowning due to acute alcohol intoxication. He was 41.
It happened on a Carnival cruise ship. September 20, 2013. Most of the Ward family was aboard: Andino, Andino's wife Amal, Mike, Mike's two sisters and their significant others—a big family vacation to celebrate Andino and Amal's 30th wedding anniversary. It was the last day of the cruise; the ship was heading back to Florida from the Caribbean.
Over the past week, Andino felt, they'd all had a great time—Mike especially. He'd been divorced for years, but his daughter was living with him, and he was happy about that. He went scuba diving for the first time in his life, off the coast of Honduras. He ate and enjoyed new kinds of food, took a swim with dolphins, even spoke with his family about buying a piece of vacation property. "You could see that he was really beginning to turn the corner on some of these other demons in terms of his trust issues," Andino says.
That last afternoon, Andino took a nap. He awoke to some commotion, assumed it was just people having fun. He drifted back to sleep. The next thing he knew, his wife was telling him to get up: "Dino, come here! Something's happened."
Still groggy, Andino wandered out to join his wife on their small balcony, which overlooked the pool area. He could see all these people huddled around the base of a hot tub. A pair of African-American legs was splayed out. In the room next door, Andino heard his daughter Sofia scream out: "Oh my God! Mike was in the hot tub."
Andino ran downstairs, through the casino to the pool deck. It was all taped off. He busted through. He heard his other daughter saying, over and over, "Mike, Mike, Mike."
Andino asked her what happened. She said that Mike had asked her boyfriend for a Cuban cigar. He said he wanted to smoke it in the hot tub. They asked if he wanted company, but Mike had said, "I just want to relax and chill by myself."
To state the obvious here: Mike's death doesn't make a lot of sense. "He was intensely fit," Andino says. "It's just bizarre. You're talking about four feet of water. How does that happen?" Mike's friends say they didn't notice any signs of depression. "It seemed like he was in a good place in general," says Jerel Hopkins. "New house, new-construction home. Traveling around in a Beemer. Single." Asked if he thinks there's any chance that Mike killed himself, Perry Sanford responds immediately: "Not at all. He's too strong of a person. He's overcome so much." He adds, "When I first heard it, I thought, did he slip and fall, hit his head? Anything. It has to be something. The kid's like Superman."
The death of the former Birdie Africa was national news, but many of the stories had a strangely impersonal quality. It turns out to be hard to say goodbye to someone you never really knew. In the New York Times, Margalit Fox wrote that Mike was a survivor of "one of the most shameful episodes in Philadelphia's history" and quoted from the 1995 Bowden interview; NPR called Mike "an icon of the disaster," also quoting from the Bowden piece. "I always thought Michael would outlive me," says Berghaier, now retired from the police force and working as a janitor in a Catholic high school. He remains haunted by thoughts of the five children he was unable to save: "You do something right and you pay for it the rest of your life … I'll get my peace when I die."
The surviving remnant of MOVE, led by Ramona Africa, took issue with much of this coverage, releasing a flurry of letters in protest. In one, an anonymous MOVE member writes, "MOVE wasn't the threat to Birdie. Your dying civilized system took Birdie down." Ramona Africa tells me that Mike's death "broke my heart. I mean, of course everybody is gonna go one day. But the familiarity with Birdie that I have, and the MOVE family had, and for him to die like that, on a cruise ship—to drown in a hot tub? You know?" Then she adds, "What you need to concentrate on is how this government tried to kill him. That's what's important."
