CASE SECTION: Zoe is a 25-month-old girl who presented to developmental-behavioral pediatrics with her parents for follow-up after receiving a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder with global developmental delay and language impairment 3 months ago. Zoe was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery at term after an uncomplicated pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She had a routine newborn course and was discharged home with her parents 2 days after her birth.At 7 months, Zoe was not able to sit independently, had poor weight gain, and had hypertonia on physical examination. Her parents described her to tense her arms and have hand tremors when she held her bottle during feedings and reported that she had resisted their attempts to introduce pureed or other age-appropriate table foods into her diet. The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Screening Test was administered and found a cognitive composite score of 70, language composite score of 65, and motor composite score of 67. Chromosomal microarray analysis, testing for fragile X syndrome, laboratory studies for metabolic disorders, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and an audiologic examination were normal. Zoe was referred to and received early intervention services including physical therapy, feeding therapy, and infant stimulation services. By 16 months, Zoe was walking independently and was gaining weight well but continued to have sensory aversions to some foods.At 22 months, Zoe was evaluated by a multidisciplinary team because of ongoing developmental concerns and concerning results on standardized screening for autism spectrum disorder completed at her 18-month preventive care visit. Her parents also reported concern about the possibility of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) because they both were diagnosed with ASD as young children. Both parents completed college and were employed full-time. Zoe's mother seemed to be somewhat anxious during the visit and provided fleeting eye contact throughout the evaluation. Zoe's father was assertive, but polite, and was the primary historian regarding parental concerns during the evaluation.Zoe was noted to have occasional hand flapping and squealing vocalizations while she roamed the examination area grabbing various objects and casting them to the floor while watching the trajectory of their movements. She did not use a single-finger point to indicate her wants or needs and did not initiate or follow joint attention. She met criteria for ASD. In discussing the diagnosis with Zoe's parents, they shared that they were not surprised by the diagnosis. They expressed feeling that Zoe was social and playful, although delayed in her language. Hence, they were more concerned about her disinterest in eating. They were not keen on behavioral intervention because they did not want Zoe to be "trained to be neurotypical." Although the mother did not receive applied behavior analysis (ABA), the father had received ABA for 3 years beginning at age 5 years. He believed that ABA negatively changed his personality, and he did not want the same for Zoe.How would you assist Zoe's parents in identification of priorities for her developmental care while ensuring respect for their perspective of neurodiversity?

If you're getting ready to jump on the Julia bandwagon—or if you already have--check out this list of books, courses, tutorials, videos, tools, and websites. It covers beginner topics as well as more advanced concepts to help you enhance your Julia programming skills.
The Julia programming language is becoming increasingly popular, with more than 3 million downloads as of January 2019. The programming language is designed to have it all—the speed of C, the dynamism of Ruby, true macros like Lisp, mathematically power like MATLAB, the usability of Python, ease of statistical use like R, and the ability to perform string processing like Perl.
The general-purpose language is designed for speed, efficiency, and high performance. It is dynamically and optionally typed, has a rich language of descriptive datatypes, is open source with all source code available for public view on GitHub, and uses high-level syntax, making it ideal for programmers from any background or experience level.
Additionally, Julia can easily express many object-oriented and functional programming patterns, and its standard library provides asynchronous I/O, process control, logging profiling, and a package manager, among other things.
If you're interested in learning more about Julia, the following list of resources can help you get started.
Data Science with Julia: This book is useful as an introduction to data science using Julia and for data scientists seeking to expand their skill set. It discusses core concepts, how to optimize the language for performance, and important topics in data science, like supervised and unsupervised learning. It's intended for graduate students and practicing data scientists who want to learn Julia. Though no previous programming experience is required, this book provides a smooth transition for those who are already familiar with R.
Learning Julia: Build High-Performance Applications For Scientific Computing: This is a comprehensive overview of Julia, from syntax basics to writing effective functions, reducing code redundancies, learning built-in object types, and much more. With a step-by-step approach, the authors explain concepts and illustrate how to use the programming language through examples.

About Charming Slots
In this casino review we take a closer look into the charming world of Charming Slots. The online casino was founded in 2018 by Progress Play and has since then acquired both a license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The platform is available in English, German and Swedish and to make sure that they offer their customers the best service possible they also offer support in these languages. Restricted countries include but are not exclusively: Belgium, Denmark and the United States.
Charming Slots welcomes all new players with a fantastic welcome bonus of match-ups on their first three deposits. This means that players can get up to a total of $/£/€ 400 as a start-up bonus. Moreover, the casino offers amazing promotions and an exclusive Loyalty Program to all of its members.
Deposits to this casino can be made through the most common payment providers such as VISA, MasterCard and Neteller among others. Security is of out-most concern for Charming Slots and they have therefore made sure that all payment transactions and private information is secured through a 128bit SSL-encryption and hidden behind a Firewall.
Visit this charming casino now or linger around this more extensive review before you give it a chance.
Bonus and Loyalty Program
The welcome bonus is available to all new customers at Charming Slots. It consists of a match-up bonus on the three first deposits made into the casino. On the first deposit the player receives a 100% match-up on up to $/£/€100. On the second deposit the player gets a 50% match-up on up to $/£/€100. On the third deposit a player gets a 100% Match-up on up to $/£/€200. This means that the player can receive a total of $/£/€400. Before a player withdraws any of the bonus money it has to meet the wagering requirements of 50x. This is slightly higher than the industry standard.
Besides a very generous welcome bonus, Charming Slots offers its customers a Loyalty Program consisting of 5 levels where the first level is free of charge. Depending on what level the player reaches the more benefits the player will reap. For example, a player on the Gold level is eligible for converting 5.000 points into cash and will receive VIP Customer Support, while a player on the highest Diamond level is eligible to convert 30.000 points into cash, has a Personal account manager and receives personalised gifts. To reach the Diamond level a player needs to have collected 10.000+ points over the last three months where every $/£/€16 deposit equals 1 point. It is therefore clear that it is difficult to climb the VIP-ladder at this casino.
By visiting the tab called "Promotions" on the Charming Slots webpage, players can take part of special campaigns. These campaigns can be themed as for example a Valentines Promotion or can just be based on video slot games. Under each promotion players can read the terms and conditions that apply.
Charming Slots does not only offer its players handpicked slot games but also classic casino games such as: Blackjack, Roulette and Poker. The Live Casino games are curated by the leading gaming developer Evolution Gaming. These games submerge the player into a live casino setting at the same time that it keeps the players identity secured by the terms and conditions.
Some of the handpicked slot game titles include: Gonzo's Quest, Lucha Legends, 5 Ninjas and Rainbow Roches. These games are all provided by gaming developers such as Quickspin, Magnet, NetEnt and Lightning Box (just to name a few). A great feature of the Charming Slots online casino is the fact that players can choose to organize the games by provider. That way more experienced players can find their favourite games easily.
If you are a new player and still do not know who your favourite gaming provider is then you can easily find the games arranged in their different sections: Slots, Jackpots, Casino, Live and Casual. Moreover, this online casino makes sure to please all of its customers and has added a special "Mobile games" section for games that are made specifically for hand-held devices.
Not many online casinos offer their customers the choice to play without inserting any money to their casino, but this is something that Charming Slots does. There are certain Slots, Roulettes etc. where you can choose to Play For Free. This also means players do not win anything during these games, but it can be a great way to get acquainted with some of the online casino games on the site.
Charming Slots assures that their games are fair, as all the games are regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission.
Depositing and Withdrawal
To deposit into their Charming Slots account, players only need access to one of many common payment methods such as: VISA, PayPal, MasterCard or Moneybookers. Deposits can be made in one of the following currencies: of $/£/€ and SEK. The minimum and maximum deposit limits are usually decided by the different payment methods; therefore, a player should always read up on the terms that apply before deciding to deposit through a certain method. Charming slots has explained everything very extensively in their section "Deposits"-section on their site.
To withdraw from the casino balance, the player must just click on the cashier icon followed by the withdrawal option. The minimum withdrawal for a wire transfer is $/£/€50 while for all other methods it is $/£/€2.5. Depending on which withdrawal method is chosen the time will be shorter or longer. Charming Slots has explained all of this in detail in their "Cashing Out"-section. The overall withdrawal time is the pending period, processing and transfer time added together. In general, a withdrawal can take anything from 5-10 days. All withdrawals are subject to a processing fee of $/£/€ 2.5 per withdrawal.
We at Find Fair Casinos find the design of the webpage to be polished and clean, there isn't much charm to the look of the webpage but for the icon. The games are neatly organized in a grid with the tabs for the games being found on the top of the banner. At times it can feel like the banner moves too fast for all the information to be understood. Besides these small technicalities the webpage works fantastically, loading time is a bare minimum and the page is easy to navigate.
This casino wants to be accessible to its players in all situations, therefore players can use the casino on all of their hand-held devices without the need for downloading any extra material. Moreover, Charming Slots offer games made specifically for these devices to make sure that players can be entertained at all times.
To secure the players information, Charming Slots uses a Firewall in combination with a 128bit SSL-encryption. This secures players from possible frauds.
Charming Slots wants to make sure that their players are well taken care of, therefore they offer support through Live Chat or email 16h/day. The opening hours range from 8:00-24:00 GMT, this means that the live chat is available in the busiest casino playing hours. The support is handled in one of the three languages preferred by the player. Moreover, the FAQ-section of the online casino has a lot of good tips and explanations. Everything is greatly detailed and written in an informative way.
To conclude this deep dive into Charming Slots, we at Find Fair Casinos want to highlight the strengths and weaknesses found before ending up with a score for the Find Fair Casino Barometer.
A great strength of this casino is its wide assortment of casino games, as you can play anything from slots to live casino games hosted by the pioneering gaming developer - Evolution.

Players can deposit and withdraw to the most famous payment options, and if questions should arise about anything the Live Chat support is available 16 hours a day 7 days a week. The page works effortlessly on the any mobile phone.
The welcome bonus is generous, but the wagering requirements are slightly higher than the industry standard. Moreover, it is hard to climb in the Loyalty Program ladder and there is a withdrawal fee of $/£/€2.5 on all withdrawals.
When taking all these points into consideration Charming Slots receives a score of 4,5 on the Find Fair Casino Barometer.

Post subject: Easy way to earn a FREE pizza!
If you have a Domino's nearby you have to participate in this new promotion!
Usually you have to make purchases to get reward points somewhere, the rewards are for the money you spend with them. But right now Domino's is offering reward points for pizza purchases from anywhere, and there's even a way to get them without a purchase! And it's by design, this isn't a bug or anything it's on purpose!
All you have to do is sign up for a Domino's rewards account if you don't already have one and install their mobile app. Go to the new pizza scanner feature and point the camera at a pizza, any pizza, until it is recognized. Boom, you get ten points - that's all there is to it! It will ask you some questions about the pizza after but you can just close them if you don't want to answer. Do this six times, once a week, and you will have enough points to redeem for one free pizza! The pizza you scan can be any brand, any size, any shape, it can be just a single slice - as long as the app recognizes it as pizza it's good. Here's the crazy thing: it can even just be a photo of a pizza! So if you weren't already purchasing a pizza you don't have to, just find a good photo somewhere to scan once a week and you'll end up with a completely free pizza in the end!
This is only happening for a limited time, get started with it now to be sure you earn enough points to redeem! More info here!
Post subject: Re: Easy way to earn a FREE pizza!
This is a weird promotion, but I got 10 points for the Godfather's pizza left in my fridge.
It is strange, but the apparent purpose is to train their AI so I guess that's why they don't care what kind of pizza it is or even if it's real, it's all helping the scanner improve recognizing "pizza" just as a thing.

Woman pleads guilty in scheme to pay off Brady challenger
Aide to Democratic Philadelphia primary candidate admits concealing $90,000 paid to drop out
A Pennsylvania pastor pleaded guilty to a federal felony Tuesday for participating in a scheme that led a challenger to Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) to bow out of a 2012 primary contest.
Appearing in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the Rev. Carolyn Cavaness pleaded guilty to a single charge of making a false statement in a federal proceeding, court records show.
Cavaness was a campaign staffer for Jimmie Moore, a Philadelphia judge who entered the Democratic primary against Brady. Moore dropped out in February 2012, according to news accounts.
No charges have been announced against Moore or Brady. However, one court filing made public Tuesday indicates prosecutors believe Brady attempted to influence the testimony of at least one witness in the investigation.
Cavaness admitted to helping make create false Federal Election Commission reports disguising the fact that Brady's campaign agreed to pay $90,000 in Moore's campaign expenses, far in excess of the $2,500 candidates were allowed to transfer at the time. In addition, Cavaness and Moore used some of the funds for "personal expenses," the formal charge says.
Court papers don't identify Moore or Brady by name, but the U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia identified the congressional seat involved as Pennsylvania's 1st District, which Brady has represented since 1998.
An additional filing indicates that Brady was interviewed by the FBI on April 18 and soon "summoned" another person "to have a discussion about the matter under investigation which Candidate A [Brady] did not wish to discuss on the telephone."

"At a subsequent in-person meeting, Candidate A demanded of Person 3 whether he 'was clear about what [had] happened?' After Person 3 indicated he was 'clear,' Candidate A responded that he took care of Candidate B's girl (Cavaness) and that Candidate A 'was allowed to pay for polls.' Candidate A and Person 3 agreed that they should not discuss the matter further."
The June 26 filing asked a federal judge to keep Cavaness' court file under wraps while the investigation proceeds.
"The government submits that this conduct by Candidate A was intended to influence Person 3's account of the matter under investigation, and that if Candidate A, a powerful figure in Philadelphia politics, were to learn of the Information and other documents prior to the guilty plea hearing, there is a significant danger that Candidate A, or others on his behalf, would attempt to contact the cooperating witness in a corrupt attempt to influence his or her decision to enter guilty pleas and cooperation agreement [sic]," prosecutor Eric Gibson wrote.
Brady's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He's a major presence in Democratic politics, having served as the chairman of Philadelphia's Democratic Party since 1986. He's also the ranking Democrat on the House Administration Committee, and was chairman of that panel from 2007 to 2011.
Reached by the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday, Brady referred questions to a longtime political consultant, Ken Smukler.
"You have to talk to Kenny," Brady said. "They did all that. That's five years ago. I don't remember none of that."
A message left at Moore's court chambers was not immediately returned.

EFF's New Series of How to Fix the Internet Podcast Tackles Toughest Issues in Tech
Episodes Feature Innovators Seeking Creative Solutions to Build a Better Online World
San Francisco—Troubled when Twitter takes down posts of people or organizations you follow? Concerned about protecting yourself and your community from surveillance? Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has got you, with the launch today of the first season of the How to Fix the Internet podcast, featuring conversations that can plot a pathway out of today's tech dystopias.
Hosted by EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn and Special Advisor Danny O'Brien, How to Fix the Internet wades into topics that are top of mind among internet users and builders—ways out of the big tech lock-in, protecting our connected devices, and keeping texts and emails safe from prying eyes, just to name a few.
This season's episodes will feature guests like comedian Marc Maron, who'll talk about how, with EFF's help, he marshaled the podcast community to fend off a troll claiming to own the patent for podcasting. Cohn will also host cybersecurity expert Tarah Wheeler, who'll discuss how companies can better protect our data from attacks by giving the researchers who report vulnerabilities in their security networks a hearty thank you instead of slapping them with a lawsuit for exposing holes in their information systems.
"We piloted How to Fix the Internet last year, and it took off, because our conversations go beyond just complaining about the problems in our digital lives to explore how people are envisioning and building a better online world," said Cohn. "We can't create a better world unless we can envision it, and these conversations are needed to help us see how the world will look when technology better supports, protects, and empowers users."
In today's episode, Harlan Yu, executive director of Upturn, a nonprofit advocating justice in technology, will talk about the increasingly sophisticated tools used by police departments across the country to access the sensitive data on phones, even when they are locked. Yu will explain how straightforward changes in the law and technology can create a world where we can walk around with greater security in the tremendous amount of sensitive data we keep on our phones.
The new season of How to Fix the Internet is made possible with the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology.
"We are thrilled to partner with EFF to support the launch of this major new podcast about the challenges posed by Big Tech and what consumers can do to protect their online privacy and security," said Doron Weber, Vice President and Program Director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. "How to Fix the Internet joins the nationwide Sloan radio effort, which supports shows such as Science Friday, Planet Money, and Radiolab, as well as Sloan programs to protect consumer privacy and promote the dissemination of credible information online with Wikipedia, Consumer Reports, and the Digital Public Library of America."

The core of Mivvi is a fuzzy string search over a collection of known titles. Fuzzy means that typos, spelling mistakes and even minor changes don't prevent a successful match. The Levenshtein distance measures the number of simple edits to transform one string into another. Mivvi's algorithm is a simple linear search: each title is compared to the query and the closest one, within a reasonable distance, is used.
This isn't quick and runtime increases linearly with the dataset: not great when the plan is to grow.
When I found a great write-up of BK-trees they seemed an ideal alternative. The concept and implementation are reassuringly simple.
My first step was benchmarking, rather than analysis. I measured the time taken to find a randomly-chosen title in a list of N titles, varying N to see how the algorithm scaled. I compared the original linear search to a BK-tree. Initial results were disappointing. The tree is faster, but not significantly.
Following the classic try-then-read cycle, I paid more attention to the article. I saw that the maximum distance affects the BK-tree's performance. For a linear search this makes no difference.
By default Mivvi allows a large edit distance to catch major changes. Restricting the maximum edit distance to 1 makes a dramatic difference.
The BK-tree's efficiency comes from restricting the search at each node to the surrounding ring of width D, the maximum distance. The wider the ring, the more of the search space we cover. An infinite maximum distance would result in an exhaustive search.
The lower values offer a significant improvement over a linear search. Given that the BK-tree never performed worse, I'll adopt it. There's a tunable parameter that I can wind down to improve results after looking at the impact on accuracy.
In future, combining a low maximum distance with a separate word-based algorithm for more distant searches may offer the best performance.

Q: Regex - Delete chars between  Earlier I tried some regex to trim strings between <!-- and --> (included these tags as well), but no success.
Could you give me some informations about the problem?

A: Regex to match HTML comments:
/<!--.*?-->/s

Explained demo here: http://regex101.com/r/qZ4uP9

A: To match a comment in text that looks like the rule for XML comments (and very close to the HTML comments rule) you want something like this:
<!--.*?-->

Assuming that your language's RE engine supports non-greedy quantifiers. Removal requires repeatedly matching that across the whole input text and substituting for the empty string; the syntax for that depends on the language in question.
Without non-greedy quantifiers, things get more complex (NB, this is slightly off for HTML comments but you really don't want to learn the details of the difference):
<!--([^-]|-[^-])*-->

Be aware that -- is not something you should encounter in an XML comment unless it is followed by a >; this is part of the nature of XML comments…

Platini pleaded for the innocence of it after cross-questioning about the assignment of world cup to Qatar
Recent updated: 4 hours ago
Michel Platini, it is Tuesday morning being questioned by French prosecutors in an investigation of corruption in the allotment of the fifa world cup 2022 in Qatar. The former football player and the president of the European bond and UEFA, said his innocence.
"Michel Platini has quietly answered all the questions", says William Bourdon, the lawyer of French nationality, Tuesday afternoon, in a statement. "He can't be blamed, and claims that he doesn't know some of the facts which he has nothing to do with it. He has a lot of confidence in what is going to happen."
The French onderzoekssite Mediapart reported Tuesday morning that Platini was held in the premises of the anti-corruption unit prosecutors in Nanterre-la défense, just outside Paris, france. A spokesperson for the French prosecutor's office, reported to CNN that Platini is in custody, has been taken in for questioning, but he has not been arrested or charged, it is.

Tonight (October 29, 2009) at 5:30 PM is the Chicago R meetup at Jaks tap. Here's more info. I'll be making a presentation based on my earlier blog post about plyr. The presentation will only be 8 minutes long so I've had to pick and choose my info carefully. OK, who am I kidding? I had a couple of Schlitz (in a bottle!) for lunch over at Boni Vinos and slammed some slides together rather haphazardly. At any rate, here's the presentation. I owe special thanks to all the folks in Twitter who reviewed these slides this week. A special shout out to @kenahoo who caught my one code typo! And also to @hadleywickham (author of plyr) who made some good suggestions, some of which I heeded. As a professor he should consider 15% application of his information to be a phenomenally high rate.

The MP3 Mono Amplifier project challenges students to design a stylish product using the electronics kit supplied as well as workshop materials chosen by the teacher. All students complete an identical electronics component of the project, but the real design comes in enclosing the technology in a suitable form.
Our aim is to support teachers with the resources needed to successfully run this unit of work in their classrooms. We provide complete kites as teaching resources are downloadable. The beauty of the MP3 Mono Amplifier project is that it can be run without expensive equipment.

Q: Java: Two 'Do while' Loop I've made a calculator that I have an issue with. I want two 'Do While' loops: One at the end to restart the program entirely, and another if user type anything different than '1 , 2 , 3 or 4'
You can see two variables at the top for that.
Summary: I'd like to have two loops. One for restarting the program, and onefor restarting just after an error to choose the sign.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    double result = 0; // multiple variable , switch to choose
    int retryAfterErrorSign = -1;
    int retry = -1;

    System.out.println("Firt number: ");
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System. in );
    double nbre1 = sc.nextDouble();

    System.out.println("Second number: ");
    double nbre2 = sc.nextDouble();

    System.out.println("1 : Addition");
    System.out.println("2 : Soustraction");
    System.out.println("3 : Multiplication");
    System.out.println("4 : Division");
    retry = sc.nextInt(); //Loop to rechoose number.

    int sign = sc.nextInt();
    switch (sign) {

        case 1:
            if (sign == 1) result = nbre1 + nbre2;
            System.out.println("The result is " + result);
            break;
        case 2:
            if (sign == 2) result = nbre1 - nbre2;
            System.out.println("The result is " + result);
            break;
        case 3:
            if (sign == 3) result = nbre1 * nbre2;
            System.out.println("The result is " + result);
            break;
        case 4:
            if (sign == 4) result = nbre1 / nbre2;
            System.out.println("The result is " + result);
            break;
        default:
            if (sign != 1 && sign != 2 && sign != 3 && sign != 4) System.out.println("Error , number not recognize");
            System.out.println("Retry (0/1)");
            retryAfterErrorSign = sc.nextInt(); //loop to rechoose sign;
    }
}

A: What you're talking about is often referred to as a "game loop".  It essentially wraps the entire application in a loop which checks if some terminating condition exists or otherwise just re-starts the whole application.  In Java-like pseudo-code the structure might look something like this:
bool keepPlaying = true;
while (keepPlaying) {
    // everything goes in here.
    // if the program should ever end, set keepPlaying to false.
}

Inside that loop you would have your "game logic" (in this case the "game" is just a calculator, but the concept is the same).  That logic might look something like this:
String input = getInputFromUser();
while (!isValid(input)) {
    input = getInputFromUser();
}
// perform the logic on the input

So coincidentally there's another loop, but it's entirely separate from and unknown to the overarching "game loop" which drives the whole interface.
Each of these logical abstractions makes for a good boundary to extract a method from the code.  So your entire main() method might be just the "game loop" and that loop might have only a single statement, playGame(); or something of that nature.  Then that method would contain the application logic, which internally has some loops which themselves call further abstractions (such as getInputFromUser(); for example);

A: Do-While-Loop sounds like you're coming from BASIC. In Java, write
while(condition) {

}

or
do {

} while(condition);

Note the semantic difference: the first example tests the condition before entering the body; the second example tests after having executed the body.

A: there is some ways, another way is put your code inside a while(true){... check for a specific condition if true {exit while}... }
while(true){
System.out.println("Firt number: ");
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        double nbre1 = sc.nextDouble();

        System.out.println("Second number: ");
        double nbre2 = sc.nextDouble();

        System.out.println("1 : Addition");

Life gives and takes away, but one thing that we can give a child that no one can take away is knowledge. Education is often the one thing keeping children from being recruited as a child soldier, married as a child bride, forced in to slave labor or pushed to work in a brothel. Education prevents early death from preventable diseases and gives hope to a child that they can "be somebody."
Education lifts up a society. We want to lift up the society We are building our first primary school. Check out ur progress and find out how you can help.


Cuprinol fence paint, a garden fence paint that has been formulated to specially work with the Cuprinol sprayers to protect and colour rough sawn timber without the need for a brush in just a fraction of the time. Vibrant colours are delivered by special pigments in the paint to ensure an even coverage in only one coat. Cuprinol sprayable fence paint is low odour and safe, quick drying and you can use around plants and pets in the garden. A 5L container covers up to 15m² with just a single coat or 5 fence panel sides (6 x 5 feet). Depending on the application method being used and the condition and nature of the surface coverage can vary. Drying times all depend on the nature of the surface to be treated and the weather conditions at the time of application. It is best to test a part of the area to be sprayed first to practice your technique as it may take a couple of minutes to perfect. The correct distance to spray is 15-30cm which is (6"-12") from the fence surface. As you get used to spraying slowly increase your pace, spraying too quickly may result in an uneven finish, runs will occur and excess product used if spraying is too slow. If this occurs then simply brush the wood. You can minimise overspray by avoiding spraying in windy conditions, should this occur then simple household detergent mixed with water will clean up the mess. Always rinse off any plants immediately.

Over the years, Dr. Nitin Upadhyay has found himself playing the roles of researcher, inventor, innovator, consultant, leader, academician and writer. Currently, he is working with Goa Institute of Management in the area of Information Technology. He has worked with Samsung Advanced Research, Software Engineering R&D Lab, Samsung R & D Institute Bangalore, India. As a precursor to his industry assignments he has worked with BITS Pilani Goa Campus and other academic institutes of repute.
Commenting on his work, Dr. Upadhyay says, "I was researching on the development of the framework which could facilitate complex decision-making, yet be simple and intuitive enough to use in the evaluation and selection of the software architecture at the very early stage of the software development life cycle. By utilising the Systematic Decision-Making Framework, industry and academia can minimise the risks, costs, and efforts of building and managing the software.
The Goa Institute of Management (GIM), is one of the premier managements schools in the country. Since its inception in 1993, GIM has systematically built a rich learning environment through engagement with academia, industry and alumni.

At Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood, Essex we provide private breast reconstruction surgery by specialist plastic surgeons at the same time as, or after, mastectomy. We are a BUPA accredited breast cancer treatment unit and our breast care nurses offer extensive support to breast cancer patients from Brentwood, Chelmsford, Upminster, Romford and surrounding areas.
In 2013 we added to our breast reconstruction service by introducing the 'DIEP flap' procedure (free tissue transfer from the abdomen to the breast).
Our breast reconstruction services are available to insured and self-paying patients.

Too much of a good thing causes trouble.
Consider Christmas. What once was a special feast, a highlight for our ancestors' Christmas calendar, is now a full month of over-indulgence. For the next six weeks our focus has to be on getting our belt-line and our bottom-line back in order.
How quickly and completely we become obsessed with over-use of our tablets and cell phones. We've never before had such access to connections and information. But have we acquired more wisdom? They can take so much priority that we lose our ability to focus on the significant relationships and opportunities around us. Withdrawal pains become obvious when we are challenged to set them aside for a while.
I recall an old preacher speaking on the theme of "temperance". It was in the day when the Women's Christian Temperance Union was still in full form. But he chose to remind us that "Temperance" wasn't about abstinence. It was about "moderation". "To the right extent and no further" was how he defined it. Anything we do to excess, without seriously considering the implications, can be hazardous to our well-being.
Making the necessary adjustments can be life-saving!

Q: how to use date_select(rails)? I have form, and date_select there
here is my form (in edit view)
=form_for @user do |f|
  %p
    = f.date_select('user','birthday',:start_year => 1940)

here is my edit action
def edit
      @user = User.find(params[:id])
 end

in my case it writes an error

undefined method `merge' for "birthday":String

i have attribute birthday:date, also i tryed on string attribute but it didnt work. So how to use date select in my case?(also how to validate it? and how to set default values?)
Thanks in advance

A: You don't need to add the argument for the user, it is already contained in the f variable.
=form_for @user do |f|
  %p
    = f.date_select(:birthday,:start_year => 1940)


PORTSMOUTH — Members of the Portsmouth Police Cadet Post 2609 won several awards over the weekend at the New Hampshire 2012 Exploring Division Recognition Dinner.
Sgt. John Peracchi said several cadets took home individual awards at the Nov. 17 event at the Police Standards and Training in Concord.
Cadet Sgt. Jacob Wirth received the Outstanding Male Explorer of the Year Award, given to an Explorer for exceptional commitment to exploring and personal growth within the program. Cadet Lt. Savannah Woodcock received the Silver E Award, the highest recognition available for youth participants in the Explorer program. Peracchi said the award is reserved for Explorers who demonstrate exceptional character, commitment and leadership in their exploring activities and community.
The entire Cadet Post received the Explorer Post Community Service Award, given to a post that has made an outstanding contribution to its community through public service. Peracchi said the local post put in more than 100 hours of community service during the last year.
Auxiliary officer and dispatcher Alana Dubaniewcz received the Exceptional Adult Leadership Award, which recognizes an adult volunteer who demonstrated commitment to creating outstanding opportunities for Explorers and advancing the program in the community. Dubaniewcz has volunteered as an assistant adviser for the post for more than 10 years and has donated countless hours to the program over the years, Peracchi said.
The Police Explorer Program is for young adults ages 14 to 20 who are interested in law enforcement careers. Meetings are held weekly at the police station. Anyone interested in joining the post should call officer Brian Houde at 610-7601.


A few years back, Washington D.C. administrative law judge Roy Pearson sued his neighborhood dry cleaners for misplacing his pants. He�s asking for $65,462,500. The alteration work on his pants cost $10.50. Here�s the story from the WaPo and an item from the DCist.
Pearson reportedly says he deserves the money for litigation costs, for �mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort,� for the value of his time spent on the lawsuit, and for a replacement suit, according to court papers. The best detail: He�s asking the cleaners to pay him $15,000 for leasing a car every weekend for 10 years. Why? Because he must find another cleaner and since he doesn�t have a car, he says he has to rent one to get his clothes cleaned.
A major point of legal contention: At the time it lost his pants, Custom Cleaners had two signs on its walls � �Satisfaction Guaranteed� and �Same Day Service.� The judge says he relied on these signs. According to the story, the Chungs have since removed the signs.


Visionary author Seymour Simon (@SeymourSimon), whom the New York Times called "the dean of the [children's science] field," is the author of nearly 300 highly acclaimed science books, more than seventy-five of which have been named Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). He has introduced tens of millions of children to a staggering array of subjects, and says: "I'm more interested in arousing enthusiasm in kids than I am in teaching the facts. The facts may change, but that enthusiasm for exploring the world will remain with them for the rest of their lives."
Seymour Simon has long been a leader with respect to educational technology for children. He wrote five early books on computer science, including Meet The Computer and How To Talk to Your Computer (an early book on coding, explaining LOGO and Basic to children), which were published by Harper & Row in 1985. In 2012, Simon founded StarWalk Kids Media, a streaming eBook platform designed to provide high quality digital literature from top quality authors to Schools and Libraries. Now, with the integration of StarWalk Kids Media into Fable Learning, his vision for utilizing the power of technology to drive engaged learning for today's children—- digital natives—- takes a big step forward in his role as Senior Advisor to Fable Learning.
Seymour Simon's website is a Webby Honoree online destination designed to engage children in science, reading and writing, as well as to provide families and educators with a rich array of free, downloadable resources designed to enhance their children's reading experience. The website has been recognized with awards from the Parents Choice® Foundation in 2011 and 2013, was declared an Official Honoree in the Personal Blog/Website category in The 15th Annual Webby Awards, was named one of twelve "2012 Great Websites for Kids" by the American Library Association, and in 2013 won the QED (Quality-Excellence-Design) Seal of Approval from Digital Book World's Publishing Innovation Awards.
Seymour Simon has been honored with many awards for his work, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Lifetime Achievement Award for his lasting contribution to children's science literature; the New York State Knickerbocker Award for Juvenile Literature; the Hope S. Dean Memorial Award from the Boston Public Library for his contribution to children's science literature; The Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Award for Nonfiction; the Jeremiah Ludington Award for his outstanding contribution to children's nonfiction; the Empire State Award for excellence in literature for young people; and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Forum on Children's Science Books.
Seymour Simon writes and photographs nature from his hilltop home in Columbia County in upstate New York. You can follow his daily nature walks and see his photographs from the field on Twitter (@seymoursimon) or on his Facebook Author page.
