Do you find your company spends excessively on freight by exceeding SLOs for spare parts delivery? Do your service engineers lose productive time waiting for couriers or searching for spare parts after they arrive at customer sites? EMC proactively identified solutions to these issues. The majority of replacement spare parts at EMC were being shipped the same business day via courier. In two years we have reduced same day shipments by nearly 60% and increased "Will Call" part pickups by service engineers at forward stocking locations by 55%. In this breakout session we will share EMC's transformation in this space which has resulted in both millions of dollars in cost savings and a better customer experience. The cross functional orchestration among the Scheduling & Dispatch, Field Operations, Logistics, Project Management, and Reporting teams made the transformation possible. In an effort to make this session interactive please come prepared to share ideas or discuss pain points on this or any other topic related to spare parts and freight.

We started off by discussing the reason for having the release cycle goals and what we should actually be trying to achieve with them. There were some who expressed concerns about the current Rocky goal selections not being the right things we should be focusing on. The hope with the first part was to come to some sort of agreement, or at least common understanding, that would inform our selections for Stein.
Some thought the goals should be entirely operator facing. So things that have an obvious and direct improvement for operators. At least so far, our goal selection has mostly been to try to get one goal that is a visible thing like that while the other is more of a technical debt cleanup. The idea being that the tech debt ones will keep us in a good and healthy position to be able to continue to address operator and user needs more easily.
There was also a desire to make the goals more "fully baked" before making them a goal. This would mean having the necessary changes well documented with example patches for teams to refer to to help guide them in figuring out what needs to be done in their own repos.
There was also the desire to make these goals something that can generate some excitement and be things that can be more of a marketing message. Things like "OpenStack services now support live configuration changes" vs. "OpenStack got rid of a testing library that no one has heard of".
And I almost missed it, but there was a great suggestion to have a #goals channel for folks to go to for help and to discuss goal implementation. I really like this idea and will bring it up in the next TC office hour to see if we can get something official set up.
We ended up with only 10-15 minutes to actually discuss some ideas for goal selection for Stein. This was expected and planned. It will take some further discussion and thought before I think we are ready to actually pick some goals.
All ideas (and support implementing them!) are welcome. Please join the discussion on the openstack-dev mailing list if you would like to get involved.


Wednesday Wants: Made in the Bay — Oh Wonderful!
The one thing that I didn't expect when I moved up to the Bay Area was the creativity that exists here. Tech was expected, but artists, ceramicists, and fashion designers? I would have never guessed.
The Olympic-sized swimming pool of creative talent that exists up here is enough to fill nearly every corner of your house. Everything from your kitchen cabinets, to your walls, and to your closets could be exclusively from makers and designers in the Bay Area.
Sweater by Ali Golden – Golden has the airiest shop in Temescal Alley stocked with her handmade and modern basics.
Bracelet by Marisa Mason – Another Temescal Alley hotspot, this time a jeweler inspired by the ruggedness of California, with bits of Navajo-influence.
Ring by Takara Design – Another Bay Area jeweler who at times, features hand-hammered metals and silky threads of pastel fabric.
Boots by Everlane – The online-only fashion company has grown from making duffel bags to releasing capsule collection and these hyper-cool boots.
49 Mile Scenic Drive Print – An infamous sign up here in the Bay, but I've yet to drive it. The couple that owns 3 Fish Studios met in Berkeley and now make prints in the city.
Bag by Cuyana – Another e-commerce and SF-based fashion startup – this time, Cuyana received seed funding back in 2013. Like Everlane, they're into transparency into where their products are made and a simple closet.
Cereal Bowl by Heath – My cabinets are stocked with mismatched Heath mugs, plates, and bowls and I wouldn't have it any other way.


At Goodwood we want you to get the most from your day and encourage you to wear what makes you feel unique, but comfortable, whilst paying particular attention to what the day's weather has in store. You can also find the latest fashion ideas with "The Goodwood Look"
Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket accompanied by a tie, cravat or polo-neck sweater. Boys aged 7-15 years are kindly encouraged to wear a collared shirt.
Ladies are encouraged to dress stylish but with a relaxed feel. A floating dress or an elegant top and trouser/skirt combination will suit any of our racedays. We advise that stiletto heels are not worn due to undulating terrain.
The Gordon Enclosure allows a greater degree of flexibility in regards to what ladies and gents are able to wear.
Whilst there is no strict dress code in place we encourage all racegoers to dress smartly.
Shorts, trainers and sportswear are all discouraged, fancy dress and sleeveless tops (for men) are not permitted.
The Lennox Enclosure has no formal dress code, but racegoers do still like to dress up.
Fancy dress and sleeveless tops (for men) are not permitted in any enclosure.


Recorded over time in James Mercer's basement studio, Phil Ek's Seattle digs, and in Oregon City with veteran engineer Joe Chiccarelli (Beck,U2) - Wincing the Night Away is a Whole new animal. Its is the sound of a band growing up and out. Mercer's infectious, indelible melodic style is still at the core, and unfaltering. But anything can happen around it - and in this case, it does. Channeling a Morrissey vibe, 'Sea Legs' pairs a hip-hop (yes, hip-hop) beat with lush melodic lines and searing guitars. Elsewhere the band toys with tweaked-out piano steeped in psychedelic strings ('Red Rabbit'); fractured synth samples ('Silt Needles')' gauzy, arpeggiated keyboards cloaking thunderous anthems (Sleeping Lessons')' and, taking cues from early Jesus and Mary Chain albums - Seeping, fuzztoned epics ('Phantom Limb'). Finally, 'Turn on Me,' 'Girl Sailor' and 'Australia' are the lilting, exhilarating, rollicking, rock-solid pop songs we've all come to covet from The Shins.

Still a man of mystery Perhaps it is the scope of the story or just more evidence of an iconic director's gradual decline but "J. Edgar" while offering another powerful performance by Leonard DiCaprio doesn't feel like a classic. Granted, to cover the life of the enigmatic Hoover as director of the FBI for over 5 decades, is a daunting, bordering on impossible task for any storyteller.
The great biopics of the past have either kept the story lines focused (as in "Capote") and/or taken great artistic liberty to embellish certain details of specific events (such as "Schindler's List"). In any case, "J Edgar" contains very little raw action – especially considering the subject is the last century's most famous and powerful crime stopper. Instead, "J. Edgar" chronicles, in sometimes dizzying flashbacks, Hoover's rise to power and the nature of his occasionally controversial personal relationships.
Director Clint Eastwood has helmed some very mediocre films (at least for him) of late including "Gran Torino," "Hereafter," and "Invictus" but his never less than superior skill at period detail is on full display here. Using the de-saturated color schemes similar to his work in "Flags of our Fathers" and "Changeling", Eastwood paints a vibrant if subdued portrait of the young Hoover who grew up in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington D.C. son of a domineering mother (Judi Dench) with whom he lived nearly his entire life. Becoming the bureau's youngest director at 29, the film captures the essence of some of the more critical moments of Hoover's career: hunting down prohibition era gangsters, his investigation of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, on up to his unrelenting collection of "secret files" in order to influence –some would say blackmail- many of this country's most powerful leaders including the Kennedy's, Richard Nixon and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Clearly, however, a central objective of "J Edgar" is to examine the more mysterious aspects of Hoover's life. His longstanding companionship with Clyde Tolsen the young aide that Hoover recruited (a gracefully strong Armie Hammer), and Hoover's suggested if not blatant homosexual tendencies as well as rumored affections for cross-dressing, are handled with sympathy and discretion. But the final result is more an artfully crafted, impeccably acted glimpse into a man who we are still left wondering so much about.
And as much as DiCaprio loses himself in an Oscar worthy portrayal, the film often transforms us back to movie watching reality in scenes that require the lead actors to wear some fairly ghastly old age make up.
Eastwood's films are never uninteresting and "J Edgar" follows suit, ultimately being a film that offers compelling details of a powerful but peculiar figure but the full picture remains just as enigmatic as Hoover himself.
Rated R for brief strong language.

The meeting of the Presidium of the Bureau of the Federal Council of the Russian Democratic Party YABLOKO which took place on Thursday, January 15, 2004, adopted the following statement.
1. The Russian election system has been transformed into a farce. Key components of the democratic election system are missing: an independent mass media, independent financing and independent court. The YABLOKO party has been robbed of its lawful representation in the State Duma, and we shall contest in court the official results of the elections of December 7, 2003. In the present situation we adopted, as is already well-known, a decision not to propose a YABLOKO candidate for the presidential elections, as we have no intention of participating in another political imitation [of elections].
2. We don't support the candidacy of Vladimir Putin for RF President. We believe that no steps were taken over the past four years to extricate the country from the deadlock oligarchic quasi-capitalism or resolve the key problems in education, security and the armed forces. The socio-demographic characteristics of the country have been continuously deteriorating. The arbitrary rule of the authorities and police has intensified and aspects of totalitarianism have been revived in Russia. The fake fight with the oligarchy has led to increasing authoritarian trends demonstrated by the executive authorities and the potential creation of omnipotent oligarchic rule by bureaucracy and the law and enforcement agencies in the country.
3. The range of possible participants in the presidential race is not homogeneous. It contains clear-cut farcical characters created by the dormant minds of the Kremlin puppeteers. In our opinion an election campaign conducted under the dictat of political adventurists is also very dangerous for the country. Some politicians may be hoping to make their position known to the public. However, we think that they will lose their illusions during the election campaign.


SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Veteran sports marketer and sales executive Andrew Stein recently was named general manager for Seton Hall Sports Properties, the locally based Learfield IMG College team that manages the Pirates' multimedia rights and sponsorships.
Stein, with nearly 20 years of related expertise primarily in the New York/New Jersey area, will lead all communications between Learfield IMG College and Seton Hall's athletics administration. Learfield IMG College is a new name for the Pirates' rights partner, as the two collegiate marketers announced the completion of their merger on Dec. 31, 2018.

Early in his career, Stein's previous sports sales experience included stops at the NFL's New York Jets, WUSA's New York Power, XFL's New York/New Jersey Hitmen and Madison Square Garden.
"We'd like to welcome Andrew to Seton Hall Athletics, and we are excited to have an experienced sports executive lead Seton Hall Sports Properties and drive our corporate partnership efforts as we continue to seek partners who are excited to align themselves with the growing Seton Hall Pirates brand," said Seton Hall's Vice President and Director of Athletics & Recreation Pat Lyons.
Learfield IMG College unlocks the value of college sports for brands, fans and universities through the representation of collegiate institutions, conferences and arenas. The company's Seton Hall Sports Properties team oversees the day-to-day Pirates' relationship. As a fully integrated sports marketing and solutions platform, Learfield IMG College provides access to licensing and multimedia sponsorship management, including publishing, radio, digital and social media; fan engagement, ticket sales and professional concessions expertise; branding; campus-wide business and sponsorship development; and venue technology systems.

See original
86,87,88, Edward Dalton , Rich. Griffith, alias Sergeant , and William Belt , alias Worrel , of St. Giles's in the Fields , were indicted for the Murder of John Waller . Dalton by assaulting, striking and kicking the said Waller on the Head, Breast, Belly,
and other Parts; and thereby giving him several mortal Bruises, on the 13th of June last, about 11 in the Morning, of which he languished till 3 in the Afternoon of the same Day, and then died; and Belt and Griffith for being present, abetting, assisting, comforting and maintaining the said Dalton in the said Murder .
Cartwright Richardson. I went to see John Waller in the Pillory. The Prisoner Will Belt brought him out from Redgate's House and put him into the Pillory, where when he had stood about two or three Minutes, Dalton and Griffith got upon the Pillory Board, Griffith took hold of Waller's Coat, and Dalton of the Waisthand of his Breeches, and so they pulled his Head out of the Pillory, and he hung a little while by one Hand, but pulling that Hand out they threw him on the Pillory-board. Belt took him up and endeavoured to put him in again, but the hung-an-Arse, upon which Belt gave him a Knock or two over the Back, with his Hand, (for I can't say that he had any Weapon) and I believe to get him into the Pillory, but the other two Prisoners and a Chimney Sweeper laid hold of Waller, and stripped him as naked as he was born, except his Feet, for they pulled his Stockings over his Shoes and so left them; then they beat him with Collyflower-stalks, and threw him down upon the Pillory-board. The Chimney-Sweeper put something into his Mouth, and Griffith ramm'd it down his Throat with a Collyflower-stalk. Dalton and Griffith jumpt and stampt upon his naked Body and Head, and kick'd him and beat him with Artichoke and Collyflower-Stalks, as he lay on the Pillory-Board. They continued beating, kicking, and stamping upon him in this manner, for above 1/4 of an Hour, and then the Mob threw down the Pillory, and all that were upon it. Waller then lay naked on the Ground. Dalton got upon him, and stamping on his Privy Parts, he gave a dismal Groan, and I believe it was his last; for after that I never heard him groan nor speak, nor saw him stir.
Council. Did you see any body else stamp upon the deceased?
Richardson. After he gave that dismal Groan the mob said he was dead, and they push one another over him; but I did not see any Body stamp upon him besides Dalton and Griffith.
Council. And don't you think they might have avoided it if they would?
Richardson. Yes, they might; but they did it designedly, for while they were stamping upon him, Griffith said to Dalton, Well played Partner, Dalton. And Dalton said, Aye, Damn him, I'll never leave him while he has a bit of Life in him, for hanging my Brother. After the Deceased had been used thus near an Hour, and every Body thought he was dead; he was taken up, and the Prisoner Belt assisted to carry him to St. Giles's Round-house, and then a Coach was brought and he put in, and carried back to Newgate, where his Mother waited to see him. Dalton and Griffith followed the Coach. As Waller was dead, those who belonged to Newgate refused for some time to take him in again, upon which his Mother went into the Coach to him. As soon as Dalton, and Griffith saw her go in, they cryed out here's the old Bitch his Mother, Damn her, let's kill her too. So they went to the Coach-door, huzzaing and swearing that they had stood true to the Stuff. Damn him, says Dalton, we have sent his Soul half way to Hell, and now we'll have his Body to sell to the Surgeons for Money to pay the Devil for his thorow Passage. Then they try'd to pull him out of the Coach, but were prevented.
Court. Did this Witness give the same Account before the Coroner?
Coroner. The Jury not being satisfy'd as to the Identity of the Persons who committed the Fact, (for Dalton was not present at the Examination, and there might be more then one of that Name) and the Fact being then charged as done by Persons unknown, I was not so curious in examining the Witnesses, and therefore no Indictment could be grounded on my Inquisition; but I believe the major Part of what this Evidence swears now was sworn by him before me.
Dalton. I was not at the Place till 12 a Clock, and then the Pillory was taken down What Cloths had I?
Richardson. I did not so much mind your Cloaths, but I took particular Notice of what you said, because you spoke about your Brother.
Griffith. Do you know what Cloaths I had?
Richardson. Yes, you had an old blue Coat tore down behind; and Waller before he was stripp'd, had a great Coat and two Waistcoats.
Griffith. Was Waller alive when he was brought back to St. Andrews Holbourn ?
Richardson. I can't say, for I thought he was dead before.
Dalton. I would ask the Coroner if Waller had any Bruise upon his Privy Parts?
Mr. King, the Coroner. I viewed the deceased the next Day, and I never saw such a Spectacle. I can't pretend to distinguish particularly in what Part he was bruised most, for he was bruised all over: I could scarce perceive any Part of his Body free. His Head was beat quite flat, no Features could be seen in his Face, and some Body had cut him quite down the Back with a sharp Instrument.
William Birch . As I came out of Mr. Britland's, where I had been drinking, I saw Belt put Waller into the Pillory, but the Colly-flowers flew so thick about, that Belt was forced to get off soon after he had put Waller in. Then I got upon a Post before an Oyl-shop, but one getting up upon a Lamp-post just before, hindred my seeing what post farther; and so I got down from thence, and got upon some Palisades, and then I saw Belt putting Waller into the Pillory again, and 2 Men beating Waller with Colliflower-stalks, but I don't know who they were, nor did I hear any thing they said, for I was a pretty Way off. Soon after, the Pillory was thrown down.
Rich. Fuller. I stood in a Cart, in the middle of the Street, a pretty Way off. Belt put Waller's Head in the Pillory, but it did not say long there; for Dalton putting his Hand in the Waisthand of Waller's Breeches, tore them down, and pull'd his Head out of the Pillory: for there was such a Mob that Belt could not make the Pillory fast upon his Neck. I saw Griffith and Dalton go by me a little before. Dalton had a Blue-gray Coat, and Griffith such a Waistcoat as he has now; for I saw no Coat, as I remember.
Cartwright Richardson. He had a blue Coae tore down behind.
Fuller. When Waller's Head was out, he hung by one Arm for a Minute or two, and then fell on the Pillory Board. They went to put him in again, but he was obstinate, and fell down again. Then they beat him with Artichoak Stalks all over.
Court, They! Who?
Fuller. I can't say that I saw the Prisoners beat him, for there was a great Mob then, and I was a pretty Way off.
Richardson. I stood close to the Pillory.
Fuller. On the Thursday before (the Tuesday that) Waller stood in the Pillory, as the Carman (who was to carry the Pillory) was coming by Newgate, Griffith asked him where were his Orders for carrying the Pillory? and told him, that he had carried almost a Sack full of Artichoaks and Colliflower-stalks in readiness; and swore that he would do Waller's Business, and he should never live to stand at Hick's Hall. And a Day or two before this I met Dalton in Smithfield, and he said he wou'd be revenged on Waller, because Waller had hanged his Brother. I knew Dalton by seeing him often about Smithfield, and being always at Pillories; but I don't keep him Company, for I'm very honest. And afterwards when I and Mr. Britland a Sollicitor (who was Waller's Uncle) took Dalton in Smithfield, and thrust him into an Alehouse, he said, If Waller's Mother had stood in the Pillory, he would have served her the same.
Thomas James . About a Week before Waller was set in the Pillory, Griffith told me at Cow-cross, that he would do his Business.
William Wills , On Whitson-Friday, I was standing in Bow-Fair by Ned Dalton , and some others, who were tossing up for Money, and a Man said, that Waller was to stand in the Pillory. By God, says Dalton, he shall never come out alive, for I'll have his Blood.
Grace Welsh . Ten Days after Waller was kill'd as my Brother and another Man and I were drinking in Smithfield, Griffith came in, and would have sate down by the Man. Says the Man, I don't like Rebels Company, you are
one of those that killed Waller. Damn me, says Griffith, I shall come to be hang'd about this one Time or another. I hear that there has been an Inques, but they say, there's no body appears to prosecute. And somebody talking about Soot, says Griffith, I did not put the Soot into his Mouth, it was the Chimney-weeper ; but I ram'd it down his Throat with a Colliflower Stalk.
Martha Smith . I am Mother to the Deceased John Waller . I did not see him till he was brought home dead in a Coach to Newgate. There was a Man in the Coach, and they put me in, and I laid my Son's Head in my Lap. Dalton stood on that side the Coach next to Newgate Lodge, and Griffith stood on the other side. Dalton call'd out to Griffith, There's the old Bitch his Mother, kill her, because I have kill'd her Son. - I have stood stiff. My son had neither Eyes, nor Ears, nor Nose to be seen; they had squeezed his Head flat. Griffith pull'd open the Coach-door, and struck me, pull'd my Son's Head out of my Lap, and his Brains fell into my Hand. Soon after my Son was convicted here, Dalton said, he had spent Half a Crown for Joy the Rogue was to stand in the Pillory, because he had hang'd his Brother, and he swore he would have his Check The Day before my Son was kill'd, as I was going up the steps. at Newgate, Belt stood there, and said to one that stood by him. That's Waller's Mother. What's that to you? says I. What, says the Man, be that's to stand in the Pillory? Yes, says Belt; but bill stand but once. He had better be hang'd, for he shall never come back alive.
Court. Did he say, he never shall, or never will ?
Smith. He said, never shall. He said those Words if I never was to go into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Belt. I never saw the Woman there; but she has often thrown Colliflower stalks at me.
Dalton. I have had my Witnesses here every Day this Sessions, but now they are gone.
Court. Carwright Richardson ! Are you any Kin to Waller?
C. Richardson. No. I never saw him but thrice before he was kill'd.
Belt's Defence.
Robert Nash , Middlesex-Officer. Waller was under my Care; and while I was with him at Redgat's Alehouse in Kinestreet, Belt came to me, and I employ'd him to P Waller in the Pillory, which he de did, and I paid him for it. I was present, and neither saw nor heard that he abused Waller.
Edward Chaise , Serjeant. I was there, and neither saw nor heard of any Hurt that he did to Waller, but so far from it, that he run the Hazard of his own Life, by endeavouring to put Waller's Head in twice. It was not in his Power to prevent the Abuses the other Prisoners committed, for he was forced to get off the Pillory to save himself. Other Officers deposed to the like Effect.
Ann Harwood . I live with Mrs. Belt the Prisoner's Mother: And one Day since Waller's Death, Martha Smith (Waller's Mother) came by my Mistress's Door, and threw in Artichoak-stalks, and said she would have her Son's Blood, right or wrong.
The Jury acquitted Belt, and found Dalton and Griffith guilty of the Indictment. Death .

Born on October 16, 1946 at Cuttack, Orissa to Shri Biju Patnaik, the former CM of Orissa and Smt. Gyan Patnaik, Naveen Patnaik is, the CM of Orissa. Naveen started out at Welham Boys' School in Dehradun, continued at the The Doon School, Dehradun and then attended Delhi University where he obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Arts. After the death of his father Biju Patnaik, Naveen was elected as Member of the 11th Lok Sabha in byelection from Aska Parliamentary Constituency. In 1998 he formed the Biju Janata Dal Party in Orissa and was elected to the 12th Lok Sabha. He became the Chief Minister of the state in 2000 with the support of the BJP and has been ruling since. Naveen Patnaik has, in the last 12 years since he first joined politics, travelled a long way. Now, Naveen, as he heads for a third term as chief minister, revels in being unpredictable, possibly even opportunistic.
It was in 2001 that Naveen Patnaik, then CM and BJD supremo and Union Steel Minister Dilip Ray took the same morning flight to Delhi from Bhubaneswar. Patnaik chatted with Ray pleasantly, asking his lieutenant his plans about his ministry and suggestions for the party.
Ray got off the plane and found he had been sacked as steel minister, a decision that Patnaik must have taken before he left Bhubaneswar. This is the measure of ruthlessness that Naveen Patnaik has brought to Orissa politics. In his nine years as chief minister, Naveen Patnaik has dropped 10 ministers. If there is even an iota of allegation of corruption or misdemeanour against a minister, he is dropped immediately. For the populace, it is a refreshing change to be the master, instead of being a victim. This policy has earned him a lot of praise and he has acquired an image as a clean and firm administrator.
The 2008 elections to for Bhubaneswar and Cuttack municipal corporations confirmed his popular appeal when BJD swept the elections, with BJP being left high and dry; presumably the votersway of letting all know that they appreciated the accountability of politicians. The recent parting of ways between the BJD and BJP is part of the same pattern. Advani called on Patnaik for a talk to iron out mutual issues. Patnaik assured him that there were no problems and added that he himself was not negotiating, however he went on to assure Advani that the small negotiation glitches would be sorted out. They were. And how!
Patnaik did not make it to the rally held in Tumkur to mark the official formation of the Third Front. People feel that this could be his way of keeping all options open; as always.
Ganesha finds that Mangal, his Yoga Karaka planet is ruling as per the Vimshottari Dasha system. This alone his enough for him to lead his party to a spectacular win in this election.
Shani a Maraka planet for him passes through the second house and aspects the eighth house. Shani also as the lord of his seventh house of partnerships is weak in the second house, in its current transit. Rahu is passing through the seventh house. This denotes that he will not associate with any party before and after elections and will be able to win the elections and form the government in Orissa on his own. If at all need be, he will take some support of very small parties or independents.
Summarily Ganesha is of the opinion that Naveen Patnaik will advance all alone this time and show it to people that he Can DO IT.

Breakthrough in CDC vaping illness investigation: Vitamin E acetate and THC may be to blame
Posted 1:43 pm, November 8, 2019, by CNN Wire
Vitamin E acetate, in combination with THC, may be to blame for a national outbreak of e-cigarette-related lung injuries that's linked to dozens of deaths, according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials.
Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the CDC, said she would characterize it as a breakthrough in the agency's investigation, although more tests are necessary.
"These new findings are significant," Schuchat said during a press briefing on Friday. "We have a strong culprit."
There is still more work to do and the CDC said it is continuing to test for a wide range of chemicals.
"This does not rule out other possible ingredients," Schuchat said. "There may be more than one cause."
The CDC says its tests found vitamin E acetate in samples taken from 29 patients who were sick with vaping-related illness in 10 states. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, or its metabolites were detected in 23 of 28 patients.
During the press briefing, CDC's Dr. James Pirkle described vitamin E acetate as "enormously sticky" when it goes into the lungs, and it "does hang around." Pirkle said it wouldn't be unusual for THC to be absent from some of the samples because it leaves the lungs faster. He added finding THC in 82% of the samples from 28 patients was "noteworthy."
In September, New York health officials linked cases of severe lung illness to vitamin E acetate in cannabis-containing vaping products. At the time, investigators said it was "a key focus" of the state's investigation into the illnesses.
An investigation into the link between vaping and severe lung illnesses has yielded the discovery of extremely high levels of the chemical vitamin E acetate in nearly all cannabis-containing vaping products that were analyzed, New York health officials said Thursday.
Until the investigation is complete, the CDC suggests people refrain from using all vaping products with THC, no matter where people buy them. The investigation has found that many of these products patients used were bought online or received through friends or family, rather than through vaping shops or at licensed THC dispensaries.
Vitamin E is used in several products, such as lotions and in supplements, but the CDC said there is a "big difference" in putting vitamin E on the skin or swallowing it in pill and in inhaling the oily vitamin.
Dr. Jennifer Layden, the chief medical officer and state epidemiologist with the Illinois Department of Public Health, said in the press briefing that in her state, they found the majority of cases of the people who were sick used THC, and that their materials came from "informal sources." In Illinois, she said, they had not had any cases associated with the state's medical marijuana program.
So far, there have been 2,051 cases of vaping associated illnesses, reported in every state, except for Alaska, as of November 5. States have reported at least 40 deaths.

Jul 13th, 00:29 report
It's about a guy who likes a girl but she doesn't feel the same. The unrequited love or unrequited limerence really happens in real life. One has to wake up that if it's already a decade, it's totally clear the other person has no love or limerence for you.
For all the regulars who are here, I'm not a regular visitor here on the fourth week of July until Aug 5th, will be able to read your interpretations on the 6th. Reading your interpretations people!
Regular visitor lately, but usually an irregular visitor on this site
PEACE TO EVERYONE
Not sure what it meant for Shawn. For me it's a out something I have been battling for a decade. It's called unrequited limerence.
It seems to be an expression of his love for a girl that seems to be overwhelming however he missed his chance and she moved on so he's lost a the fight as he caught it at the wrong time.
to the guy who is experiencing this right now, you have to accept that she moved on to another guy and it didn't work out. if she really is into you like you are to her, then go ahead but it seems the feeling is not mutual. if you are strong, be around her but if it's making your heart more broken then distance yourself from her. but you are still in love with her. just know your limitations because she has moved on. it's really up to you. peace
I think is about a boy that like a girl and she liked him, they try to be something but she starts to like another boy, then they just can't work, she moved on but he stills in love with her, he tried and he is trying, but is hard cause every time she is around he just can't "move on" and pretend that everything is okay...
sry if it was a little deep, is a little similar of what im passing right now...
I think it is about social media, trying to ignore the haters but still getting caught up in what they think
This relates to me a personal level. There is this guy that used to like me that I like soo much. Everyone says that we are "future couple goals". But I try to hide the fact that I rlly rlly rlly love him. He is perfect.
Aug 3rd, 2017 8:39am report
Maybe it's a fake relationship and He has o stop himself from catching feeling. But he ends up catching feelings and falling hard. Shawn says "it was never up to me" it could've been his manager. (I'm so srry I've re add to many fanfics)
I think it is simply about him falling in love. He tried for so hard not to fall in love with this girl but he "lost the fight" and his feelings broke through anyways. This is a girl he does not think he is supposed to be with in some way but he loves her anyway.
I think this songs about him loving a girl but the girl doesn't feel the same, and she just wants them to be friends, maybe they tried to be more but she didn't feel anything where he does. He has to hide his feelings . he tries to hide his feelings but it gets harder the more he's around her. He can't help but be around her, he tries to stay away but he can't because of the way he feels about her.
Apr 11th, 2017 4:35pm report
I think that this song is about how he is in love with someone that he knows he shouldn't be with. Whether he's with someone else, or it's just not a safe or healthy relationship. The song is saying that they shouldn't be together, but he can't help but fall in love with her.
Although I agree with the first comment on dec 4th. I believe it could also be he is in love with a girl who he knows is unfaithful but can't stop himself as much as he may try.
Dec 23rd, 2016 12:20pm report
In my opinion it's about a girl that harmed a boy and the boy doesn't know to fight to be with her or not. Sometimes he tries to stop loving her but he can't so he "lost the fight" and says he is not strong enough to be with her.
Dec 4th, 2016 12:34pm report
He is in a relationship with someone but there is another girl that comes into his life. He becomes enamored by the second girl and becomes unfaithful.

Is your ego talking to you? Are you noticing that you or others around you are defensive? What are you feeling defensive about? I have observed that the defenses often show up when the stresses of life ignite the our desire to feel safe in our lives.
Lately the world seems to be in the midst of so many conflicting energies that it is hard to keep up with it, even if you want to. I can max out – what about you- what do you do with the over-stimulated energies of life? It can be very confusing and upsetting if we do not have some healthy spiritual tools to work through our thoughts and feelings with.
What are the fences you have erected?
I was listening to the Sunday service yesterday and the minister and speaker, Guandev from the Ananda community, was addressing the topic of Ego- Friend or Foe. His talk was inspiring and later I found myself thinking about writing this blog.
Parmahansa Yogananda said that "when we are enslaved by the ego, it is the Soul that is identified with the body." We are caught up in our likes and dislikes and it is like a ferris wheel that keeps going around in endless circles.
Our souls are stuck in this kind of limited awareness, it is caught up in bundles of self-definitions. That is an absolute guarantee and ticket to the ferris wheel of life that will always separate you from your loved one, anyone who is different than we are, and all others including our true spiritual selves.
There are so many fences that we erect with the ego. I am observing how many different kinds of obstacles we have in the way of unity and cooperation.
One is the "chicken wire fence," it pokes at the heart and soul of the others in our lives. It also pokes at and injures us the most. It creates distance and the experience of rejection because it immediately hurts and feels so badly that no one wants to be around it. Who wants to feel poked at and hurt by just being around that kind of energy and personality. It is a dangerous fence and certainly is a tool for distancing and a kind of personalized defense. It works. You will be left alone, often angry and stuck in the defensive self. Does that leave you pointing a finger at someone else? The answer is to look within.
When I see any fence going up between me and another person I do my best to take mine down unless it is actually unsafe to do so. That is ours to determine. Personally I use prayer, affirmation, meditation, chanting, yoga, exercise, and many tools of sacred practice that I have been using for over 30 years of dedicated practice.

Q: How to create a ruby enum and parse the value from querystring? I need to create an enumeration that I will need to initialize from a value from the querystring.
Example of what I have and what I need to do:
class UserType
   NONE = 0
   MEMBER = 1
   ADMIN = 2
   SUPER = 3
end

Now in my querystring I will have:
/users/load_by_type?type=2

Now in my controller I will get the value 2 from the querystring, I then need to have a UserType object which has the value 'MEMBER'.
How can I do this?
If my class isn't really a good enumeration hack, please advise.

A: How about something like this.
require 'active_record'

# set up db
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection adapter: 'sqlite3', database: ':memory:'

# define schema
ActiveRecord::Schema.define do
  suppress_messages do
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.string :name
      t.string :role
    end
  end
end

# define class
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  Roles = %w[none member admin super].map(&:freeze)
  validates_inclusion_of :role, in: Roles
end

# specification
describe User do
  before { User.delete_all }

  let(:valid_role)    { User::Roles.first }
  let(:invalid_role)  { valid_role.reverse }
  it 'is valid if its role is in the Roles list' do
    User.new.should_not be_valid
    User.new(role: valid_role).should be_valid
    User.new(role: invalid_role).should_not be_valid
  end

  let(:role)          { User::Roles.first }
  let(:other_role)    { User::Roles.last }
  it 'can find users by role' do
    user_with_role       = User.create! role: role
    user_with_other_role = User.create! role: other_role
    User.find_all_by_role(role).should == [user_with_role]
  end
end

It does have the disadvantage of using an entire string (255 chars) for the enumeration method, but it also has the advantage of readability and ease of use (it would probably come in as "/users/load_by_role?role=admin"). Besides, if at some point it winds up costing too much, it should be easy to update to use a small integer.

A: I think I'd rather use hashes for this kind of thing, but just for fun:
class Foo
  BAR = 1
  STAN = 2

  class << self
    def [](digit)
      constants.find { |const| const_get(const) == digit }
    end
  end
end

puts Foo[1] # BAR
puts Foo[2] # STAN

ENI acquires in Italy's Puglia region 3 wind projects for a total of 35 MW
Italian energy major ENI, through its subsidiary ENI New Energy, a group company that operates in Italy, has acquired from Asja Ambiente Italia 100% of the shares in CDGB Enrico, CDGB Laerte e Wind Park Laterza, ENI said on June 22.
With this new acquisition the company further progresses in its decarbonisation process that aims to reduce 80% on greenhouse gases net emissions by 2050 over the entire cycle of its energy products, ENI CEO Claudio Descalzi said. "Our goal is to shape a company that will sell completely decarbonised products, so that emissions will not be a concern for our end customer," Descalzi said, adding, "We are willing to tackle the challenges for a just energy transition by drawing on all our resources and internal know-how."
The three wind farms, that will be built in Comune di Laterza, in the Puglia region, have a peak capacity of 35.2 MW and are expected to produce approximately 81 GWh annually, avoiding around 33,400 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
According to ENI, the three plants will consist of sixteen aerogenerators producing 2.2 MW each, and will be connected to the National Transmission Grid. The construction work for the plants is scheduled for the third trimester of 2021. It is the first wind project of ENI to take place in Italy.

Initiatives offer map as care providers work to build trust with underserved communities
by Lisa Eisenhauer
Even before the Association of American Medical Colleges officially launched its Center for Health Justice this fall, the staff of the nascent center was at work on an initiative focused on trust building through community engagement.
Over the summer, the center's team led virtual workshops built around 10 "Principles of Trustworthiness." The center says the principles, along with accompanying videos and tool kit, "were co-developed by community stakeholders as a guiding compass for organizations from any sector to demonstrate trustworthiness to their communities."
Philip M. Alberti, senior director of health equity research and policy with the Association of American Medical Colleges, is founding director of the Center for Health Justice. He says that the association started its work around trust a few years ago when engagement with underserved communities showed fault lines between them and the health care sector.
People within those communities pointed to various reasons for the disconnect, including historic wrongs such as the syphilis experiments done in Tuskegee, Alabama, that left Black men to die of a curable disease. Those communities also pointed toward insensitivity that they and others have experienced related to cultural traditions and practices.
In a photo taken before the pandemic, Dr. Susan J. Dulkerian, chair of the department of pediatrics, attends to an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. Mercy traces its roots in downtown Baltimore to the 1870s. It delivers the most babies of any Baltimore hospital.
Alberti says the issue of lack of trust in mainstream medicine by medically underserved populations gained a stronger sense of urgency as the COVID-19 pandemic began taking a disproportionate toll on minority communities and as outrage grew about the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police.
"We didn't even have to look historically. We watched inequities develop in real time over the last 18 months," he says. "It's not just about Tuskegee. This is about modern-day experience of inequity creation before our very eyes."
Elevating trust
The Center for Health Justice isn't the only health care-related group that has zeroed in on the issue of trust this year. In May, the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation began its Building Trust initiative.
Dr. Richard Baron, president and chief executive of the American Board of Internal Medicine and its foundation, says in an interview with MedPage Today that his organization's effort was prompted in part by a "major politicization of knowledge" around things like the safety of COVID vaccines and the usefulness of masking.
"We really are living in a world in which facts themselves — the whole existence of facts — is in dispute," Baron says in the interview.
The foundation describes its trust initiative as a "multifaceted effort to increase conversation, thought leadership, research and best practices to elevate trust as an essential organizing principle for improving health care."
The initiative includes a collection of resources, a series of webinars and the awarding of grants for work that creates "a more trustworthy health system that serves everyone." Among the early collaborators in the initiative are SSM Health and Virginia Mason Medical Center, part of CommonSpirit Health.
Diversity of thought
Yolonda Wilson, an associate professor at the Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University, says whether such initiatives can succeed at breaking down barriers between communities and health care providers likely depends on whether those communities are part of the process from the get-go.
"What I don't think you can do is have a one-size-fits-all approach to just anybody who you think doesn't trust the health care system," she says.
Communities and individuals have motivations and justifications for their behavior, including historical or current injustices and cultural differences, Wilson says, and those factors need to be taken seriously and addressed by health care providers. "I think it's worth digging in and exploring what exactly is happening and figuring out whether trust is even the right way to describe what's happening," she adds.
Hibner
In a recent discussion, Wilson and Nathaniel Blanton Hibner, director of ethics for CHA, agreed that the burden of building trust should not fall on individuals or communities. "It's not that we need to change their behavior towards us alone," Hibner explains. "We need to change medical behavior towards those communities."
Flipping the narrative
Wilson and Hibner also agree that the key to establishing a trusting relationship is not just talking about what needs to be done, but following through. The question to be asked, Hibner says, is: "Are we actually doing it —I'm not saying are we getting the results that we necessarily are hoping for —but are we actually walking the walk?"
One of the Center for Health Justice's 10 Principles of Trustworthiness — Without action, your organizational pledge is only performance — specifically calls on organizations to "walk the walk" by deploying resources, coordinating the work of building trust across their workforce and recognizing that trust building is not a one-person job.
In Alberti's view, one of the distinguishing aspects of the Center for Health Justice's initiative is that its flips what he calls a popular narrative, that is, that institutions need to figure out how to convince communities or populations to trust them.
"We thought it was important to change that paradigm and say, it's not about building trust or convincing folks to trust, it's really about showing that we are worthy of trust," he explains.
Alberti says the Center for Health Justice is basing its overall work on a few pillars. One is that community engagement is key to ensuring that its efforts are grounded in "the wisdom of communities." Another is that collaborations must reach beyond the health care sector so that factors that affect health outcomes and life spans such as education and food access are taken into account. One more pillar is advocating for policy development and policy changes that address injustices and inequities.
Integrating teachings
Mina Kini hopes to integrate the center's teachings and its trustworthiness principles into her work as system director, diversity and inclusion at SSM Health. She attended one of the center's virtual workshops over the summer.
Kini
Kini says SSM Health recognizes the importance of having trusting relationships with its patients and communities. "Without addressing trust of communities, we will never be able to solve disparities," she says.
SSM Health already is working to develop and expand programs and policies to improve relationships with communities that are often slighted by the health care sector. She points to its support for CHA's We Are Called initiative to promote racial justice and address disparities. She also cites a partnership the health system has with organizations in Missouri and Wisconsin to provide job opportunities to people who have disabilities that often keep them out of the workforce.
"It's not only being aware of those principles of trust but living the behaviors that is an underpinning to all these principles," she says. "There are strategies and behaviors that need to occur for this to be realized."
Sustained credibility
Fr. Tom Malia, assistant to the president for mission at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, believes trust is inherent to the work of the Catholic health ministry.
Fr. Malia
He says trust is best fostered through commitment and service, as his hospital has demonstrated by staying put in the heart of a city that has seen racial, economic and other challenges over the last several decades and serving the community living there.
Fr. Malia believes trust between Mercy Medical Center and its community is manifest in many ways. Among them is the hospital's growth in his 19 years there — to 5,278 from 2,000 employees. It operates care sites and affiliated offices across the Baltimore region. It's a measure of trust that Mercy delivers more babies than any other hospital in the city, he says.
And, Mercy has collaborated with other organizations to address social issues that impact health status and well-being. For example, Fr. Malia notes that hospital executives were involved in the creation of Health Care for the Homeless, an organization founded in the 1980s that provides medical and support services for the unsheltered including assistance in securing housing and public benefits.
When it comes to trust, he says Mercy's is built on unwavering support for and connections to its community. Says Fr. Malia: "The credibility is still here. It's always been here."

Tiaras & Prozac: Why we don't 'do' homework.
Why we don't 'do' homework.
I'm all for supporting children's education at home yet I find homework, in infants and primary school for the most part unnecessary beyond reading and the odd spellings or project. It's bad enough that our children are swallowed into the system of full time formal education at such a tender age in comparison to many other places in the EU where the average starting age is 6-7 years of age. Once in school they're usually there for around 6+ hours. After school should be family time. Time to reconcile the day with their family, to play, to chat and to relax. Six and a half hours a day is plenty of time for children to be academic and adhere to structured learning. I want my children to enjoy learning not to resent it. When not being academic at home, a child is still learning emotionally, mentally and socially from their family which is just as important as academia if not more so at times.
So no, we don't make Things One and Two do homework. We don't even make them do the schools mandatory home reading. Why? Because quite simply we don't have to. Things One and Two have learned to adore reading through not being pushed and thus eagerly read because they want to, as opposed to having to, curiously as a result they're both high level readers. This is a far healthier attitude to reading and learning than being mandated to do something. Likewise, as we never enforce homework, we find that often they take it upon themselves to do it anyway, because they want to. They enjoy choosing to learn. As they're not forced to do homework they structure their own learning at home, often found squirrelling away in their rooms independently writing their own stories or creating their own sums. They're still practising what they've learned but in a far more constructive way as once again they're choosing what they do and how they do it. Simply asking them about their day allows them to reflect on what they've learned and through talking about it they're re-enforcing their lessons. Through trying to teach you what they've done, they also teach themselves.
Homework has no place in a young child's life. They don't need extra academia they need to be a child. They need security, laughter, tickles, bed time stories, adventures, fresh air and conversation. To create, to perform, to indulge. Childhood is already far too short and too precious to be wasted. The spawn gain far more from playing outside on the trampoline, creating their own songs and dances, playing cards or going conker hunting than they do from extra sums. Giggling and silliness is far more nourishing to a child's well being than frustration and resentment.
Yet Thing One has managed to get to year 5 and Thing Two year two without us ever having a confrontation with their teachers or even so much as a conversation regarding the lack of homework they do. Rather the teachers praise their thirst for learning, their uncannily good general knowledge, their problem solving skills, their attitude to working and the fact that both children are significantly and consistently over achieving. They go to school to learn, and they love doing it and I'm positive that the distinction between home and school boosts this. They're ready for school at the start of the day because of their break from it. Because they've had their own time.
They're curious little souls and every conversation is riddled with their natural hunger for knowledge, they seem to naturally connect what they have learned to experiences outside of school, applying them to home life too. They constantly ask questions and love to answer them too.
Science, nature, mathematics and literature are all around us, in nearly everything we do. If you don't push them, they will find it there. They will want to find it and enjoy doing so.
If they need reassurance or guidance on something they wish to know or to improve on, we work with them. If they want to show us what they've been doing, they do.
Too much academics can exhaust and deplete their natural lust to learn. School is for structured learning, home is for unstructured learning and support.
Granted if you have a child who is struggling at school, homework in small amounts may be beneficial in some eyes, yet what if taking home what they've spent all day trying to do creates a negative association with it? they're already mentally exhausted from working hard all day and they're getting no time to recover. No escape from it. It becomes daunting, frustrating and puts them under an unfair level of pressure.
We as adults know ourselves how negatively consistently bringing work home with us can effect us and our mental health. It can raise stress levels, effect our sleep, prevent us from finding enjoyment in things and make us short tempered.
So let the infants and junior children clock off at the end of their school day. No overtime. Let them breath. Let them rest. Let them be.

'Oklahoma!' a unique model for innovation
In 1943, when the musical Oklahoma opened on Broadway, our state had only been a state for 36 years.
Oklahoma not only gave us the best state song in the entire country, this play, named for our state, spawned innovation at every turn.
Before Oklahoma, Broadway musicals were a series of big production numbers and novelty acts built around the talent of the stars. Oklahoma introduced an entirely new form. For the first time, every aspect of the play—from the lyrics to the dancing, to the staging and costumes—worked together to move the story along.
Like lots of innovations, Oklahoma was a pivot. The concept came from an unsuccessful play that only ran 62 performances.
Atypically, Oklahoma's cast was assembled from actors who could sing, not singers who could sort of act. The resulting score was so popular that Decca Records revolutionized the recording industry by producing the first ever original cast album (including the orchestra)—an innovative bundle of 78 RPM records that sold for $5 when singles were selling for fifty cents.
Oklahoma was also the first collaboration for recognized industry greats Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. An untested team, they had trouble raising money. They took the unconventional step of Rodgers writing the music before Hammerstein wrote the score. The play they created set records with a five-year and nine-month Broadway first-run, a Pulitzer Prize, and a $5 million return on an initial investment of $83,000 back in 1943.
Oklahoma, the play, is a unique story—and not the only unique story of innovation and collaboration with an "Oklahoma" stamp.
Working together to drive innovation runs deep in our state. That is how the Oklahoma Innovation Model (OIM) came about. With the Oklahoma Center for Advancement and Technology (OCAST) as its hub, OIM is a strategic initiative and public public-private partnership with i2E, the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance (OMA), the New Product Development Center (NPDC) at OSU, and the OK Catalyst programs at the Tom Love Innovation Hub at OU.
"The Oklahoma Innovation Model supports innovation in this state, from concept to commercialization," said OCAST Executive Director C. Michael Carolina. "the OIM is a catalyst for economic development in rural, regional, and urban economies.
How are we accomplishing that? You could say it is a "book musical" approach. The organizations in the OIM consortium are functionally different and serve different constituencies, but they collaborate to deliver seamless performance.
i2E provides venture advisory services and a continuum of capital to help entrepreneurs assess product-market fit, determine optimal go-to-market-strategies, and to achieve the critical milestones that position startups for funding. OMA works with hundreds of Oklahoma companies on thousands of projects, helping improve the bottom line through best practices, including Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing.
NPDC offers an array of research, development, and engineering services to inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers. OK Catalyst has increased Oklahoma's participation in federal SBIR funding to more than $7 million in that last year.
By supporting ground-breaking research through commercialization, OCAST and this consortium have resulted in more than 21,000 new Oklahoma jobs in the last five years and have helped launch or support more than 200 businesses over the past three decades.
Although Oklahoma is relatively small — twenty-eighth in population — the voices of innovation in this state of waving wheat, rushing wind, and beautiful mornings sing together with a very strong voice.


Amravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has brought P.M Modi's wife into the war of words between them.
"You have estranged your wife. Do you have any respect for the family system?" Naidu asked the PM.
Naidu said he love and respects his family and said Modi doesn't have a family.
Naidu also called demonetisation a "mad Tughlaq act". "They scrapped Rs 1,000 currency notes but brought in Rs 2,000 note. How will corruption end?" he asked.
"Modi's AP tour is an utter flop. The BJP should realise that people registered their protest by not attending Modi's meeting. It has been established again that Telugu people would teach a lesson to those who betrayed them," Naidu said.
