Q: Automatically Identify related field in importing in Odoo-12 I'm having this problem in odoo while I'm importing
How can I prevent those Don't Import and automatically give the Relation field so that the user don't have to select any other relation field
I had already tried modifying my .xlsx file first row where the string of the field is declared to be identical to my fields string(literally copy paste it) but its still didn't automatically set a relation field

A: When the field name in the header did not match, you will see the 'Don\'t import' placeholder (there is no data to show).
After you click on Load file and select the XLSX file, Odoo will call the parse_preview from javascript to generate data to show to the user. It will generate a preview of the uploaded file and performs fields-matching between the import's file data and the model's columns.
The matches are generated in _match_headers which calls _match_header  to attempts to match a given header to a field of the imported model. It will check if the header matches with the field name or the field string if not, it will try to check if the translated header matches the field string. If all the previous did not succeed it will check for related fields and if / is not in the header it will return an empty list which means that it did not match otherwise it will iteratively dive into fields tree.
The fields used to match the header are generated in get_fields method, it will recursively get fields for the provided model (through fields_get) and filter them according to importability.
The field will be excluded from the importable fields if:
The field is blacklisted or deprecated.
The field is readonly and has no states attribute or no condition is defined for readonly attribute in states when the field is readonly.

What an awesome Valentine's I had! Started out celebrating with my Gram. I went roller skating with her and all her friends for the Valentine's special. Such a cool gram!!! How many 80+ year olds do you know that roller skate? Then Todd and I had Claudia over for dinner.
My first book delivered! Todd and I were soooo excited! It was a very surreal moment for author and illustrator!

The Sol Wurtzel House at 10539 Bellagio Road is a house designed by Wallace Neff for the film producer Sol M. Wurtzel and his wife, Marian. It is situated on Bellagio Road, in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

Neff received the commission in 1930 and the house was completed in 1932. It was set over a 1.5 acre site, and was 9,000 sq ft in size in 1991. The house is designed in a semicircle which fits the natural contour of the terrain. The house has two distinctive staircases which lead from the principal rooms of the house to a large terrace and tennis court. The main entrance to the house is framed by an elaborate a pair Corinthian columns two storeys in height topped with a broken pediment and urn.

Neff designed all rooms to "have at least two exposures opening onto wide loggias and terraces which overlook the gardens and on beyond to the sea" to enhance the views from the property. The house is 180 ft in length and situated on a 1.5 acre site that overlooks the Bel-Air Country Club. A large terrace and loggia with swimming pool was added by Neff to the west side of the house in 1939. A library and four bedrooms were situated on the second floor at the time of its construction, it had five bedrooms and seven bathrooms at the time of its 2019 sale with separate staff and guest rooms. The house was modelled by Neff on the Villa Giulia designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola for Pope Julius III. Kevin Starr praises the "splendiferous theatricality" of the house in his 1991 book Material Dreams: Southern California Through the 1920s.

Wurtzel's wife, Marian, decorated the house with reproduction antique furniture and English silver and crystal chandeliers sourced from Italy.

The physic and astrologer Anthony Norvell acquired the house for $125,000 in 1953 (). It was the home of the British actor Reginald Owen in the 1950s; Owen sold it to Dolly Green in 1962. Green was the last surviving child of Burton Green, the co-founder of Beverly Hills. Green lived in the house from the early 1970s until her death in 1991. It was sold for $4.78 million in 1991 () to the television producer William J. Bell, having previously been offered at $6.9 million. It was bought by businessman Jay Stein in 2019 for $31 million having been on the market since 2018 with an asking price of $37.5 million.

Top 8 inventions and interventions to "save" planet Earth and the population that are most likely DETRIMENTAL to the environment and human health in the long run
For the biggest money laundering schemes on the planet to work, the rogue government and its agencies must convince the populace to support them; otherwise, the maximum amount of profits will not be realized. That means insidiously devising schemes that seem to save people from certain death, like preserving the normal temperatures on planet earth, or preventing a virus from wiping out all of humanity, or saving everyone from starving to death when the 'big drought' and apocalyptic famine come. The irony comes as these life and planet "saving" schemes are more likely to accomplish the exact opposite, and wipe out life as we know it on this third rock from the sun.
In the mad, mad rush to "save" planet earth and all of its inhabitants, the rogue governments of the world are destroying the environment and the health of humans
Whether they are insidious schemes to rob people of their hard-earned money, or to depopulate the planet for more big government control, most of the big plans for 'sustainability' are really just money-laundering plots and Ponzi schemes that wreck agriculture, the economy, health, wealth, and the atmosphere we need to survive.
The majority of Americans eat processed and genetically modified food daily, and some for every meal and snack. Now, many are eating genetically modified meat and fake meat, and soon, genetically modified farm animals, thanks to Bill Gates. Gates pretends he is trying to save the planet from starvation, but he's really (funding) mutating food in ways with unforeseeable health and environmental consequences.
One of the latest "climate change" or "global warming" scams and schemes is to literally block the sun's rays from reaching earth, by spraying contaminants, heavy metals, and other toxins into the atmosphere in order to cool us down some, so all the humans won't burst into flames in the next decade. Sure. This is just more population control in effect and another dangerous scheme by rich globalists who love power, money, and murdering humans in that fake, philanthropic way.
Here are the top 8 inventions and interventions to "save" planet earth and the population that are most likely destroying everything and everyone
#1. Electric cars (the fueling stations use fossil fuels, and the costs are outrageous, like $20,000 for a new battery)
#2. Genetically modified mosquitoes
#3. Pandemic "vaccines"
#4. Genetically modified meat
#5. Genetically modified farm animals
#6. Chemtrails to block the sun and "cool" the earth
#7. Climate change (and pandemic) lockdowns
#8. Prescription medicine
The most insidious "medication" and undercover genocidal, biological weapon of mass destruction is the Covid "vaccine" deployment by Pfizer and Moderna, among others. In the same way IG Farben was used by Hitler to create chemical weapons for extinguishing Jews, Blacks, and the disabled during WWII, now the kingpins of the pharma cartels are using the scamdemic to scare the majority of humans into being injected with billions of spike proteins that cause sudden death syndrome, heart attacks, vascular clots, organ failure, infertility, and spontaneous abortion. Who can't see this happening right before their eyes?
Next, Bill Gates and the Chinese Communist Party, responsible for creating and funding the entire Covid pandemic, is funding genetically modified mosquitoes that will deliver vaccines to entire regions of people. Will these be mRNA jab-bites that change our human cells to create prions that cause us all to die suddenly from "unexplainable causes" or some new "gain of function" virus? Only time will tell.
Tune your internet dial to NaturalMedicine.news for more tips on how to use natural remedies for preventative medicine and for healing, instead of succumbing to Big Pharma for toxic injections and experimental prescription medications that exacerbate disease and disorder.

According to Nadine Gourkow, amongst all of the different types of therapy that have appeared within recent years, pet therapy is perhaps one of the predominant therapy that relies on one of the oldest and most constant natural marvels; which is the close bond found between the human beings and animals. Pet therapy is referred to as therapeutic interventions by which activities are performed with the assistance of animals.
Since the nineteenth century, care institutions have used animals (dogs, cats, horses, birds) to heal mentally ill or traumatized people in order to improve their quality of life. It has been a recent discovery by Boris Levinson, a New York psychiatrist, who is credited with creating pet therapy.
At the end of the 1950s, Matthews's parents brought him, a young, self-withdrawn, self-labeled, autistic boy, for a final medical opinion before their son was interned. Spirit, the psychiatrist's dog, by chance in the office, approached the child. Matthew immediately came out of his autistic withdrawal and began to stroke the animal passionately. At the end of the session, in front of his astonished parents, Matthew asked to see the dog again. Peter then decided to receive the boy, assisted by Genie, noting an undeniable improvement. The psychiatrist decided to immediately involve dogs and cats to his sessions, thus inventing the psychotherapy assisted by animals.
The help of pet therapist is priceless for patients, children or adults, that are physically handicapped, (injured, blind, hard of hearing, people suffering from neuromuscular disorders as well) or psychic (people with autism, psychiatric disorders, depression, eating disorders or self-image). It is increasingly used for cancer patients, because of the restorative image of the body, and for the elderly as it has great and positive effects on the memory. It is also used to encourage soldiers to gain socialization skills and young offenders, as well as to teach "difficult" children to control their emotions and to focus. It is also used within family therapy (being the brother or sister of a disabled sibling, resolving parent/child conflicts, overcoming trauma). In general, the presence of an animal is indeed therapeutic: it soothes, cheers up and encourages other to worry about someone other than oneself.
The animals of your choice must be natural, reassuring and be able to arouse curiosity. The dog, the cat, the horse, the donkey, the goat, the rabbit, and the hamster are the main performers when it comes to animal therapy. The dog has a particular relationship with human beings as he is both a companion to protect and a protector. Nadine will always attest to the fact that they are ideal supporters for predictions and inventions. According to the specialist, the dog awakens creativity, imagination, develops empathy and stimulates the people that are depressed.
Excellent antistress animals; the cat is often present with the elderly to whom he cheers and comforts on a regular basis. According to Jean-Yves Gauchet, purring improves the production of serotonin, which has a positive effect on mood and has a beneficial effect on blood pressure.
Finally, a new kid among the speakers in pet therapy: the lama, who seduces with its gentleness and patience; who would have ever thought.

A Voice in the Dark, Alex + Ada, Alex Maleev, Avatar, Avengers World, Batman and Two-Face, BOOM!, Braden Lamb, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Wood, Chris Bachalo, Chris Samnee, Cliff Chiang, Colin Lorimer, Curse, Daredevil, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Doug Braithwaite, Extinction Parade, Frank Barbiere, Image, James Asmus, Jonathan Hickman, Jonathan Luna, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Kris Anka, Larime Taylor, Mark Waid, Marvel, Matt Kindt, Max Brooks, Michael Moreci, Ming Doyle, Minotaur, Nick Spencer, Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi, Quantum and Woody, Raulo Caceres, Riley Rossmo, Ryan North, Sarah Vaughn, Shelli Paroline, Skyman, The Bunker, The Midas Flesh, The White Suits, Tim Daniel, Uncanny X-Men, Unity, Wonder Woman, X-Men
The only forecast worth a damn:
Skyman #2 (Dark Horse): My interest in the book has been ramped up not by #1 so much as learning more about Joshua Hale Fialkov as a writer through his book The Bunker from Oni Press, which came out in print last week. Yeah, so, suddenly I'm like "Sky's the limit!" for this one.
The White Suits #1 (Dark Horse): The new one from Frank J. Barbiere–writer of the underwhelming Five Ghosts, which I dropped after #2–is described as "violent noir," which is right up my alley; so I'll pick it up.
Batman and Two-Face #28 (DC): Best Batman of the bunch? Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's Batman, biatch! OK, so, it's not Mind MGMT; very few books are. But it is Batman: it sounds like, looks like, and feels like Batman–and that's what's important, isn't it? The turn with Two-Face has been a fun one, and it ends here.
Batman and Two-Face #28
Wonder Woman #28 (DC): The only New 52 book I've been on from the get-go. Remarkably consistent, drawing more from myth as we go along. Bring on the Minotaur!
A Voice in the Dark #4 (Image): We were lucky enough to receive a preview copy from Larime Taylor a couple of weeks back. My review–and assessment of the series–can be found here.
Alex + Ada #4 (Image): If I had more time, I would've written up a Scottlight On post for #3–a very positive Scottlight On post. I loved it: the dialogue, the absence of dialogue; the composition of balance, the language of juxtaposition; the slow simmer, the tempered tone; the spirit of Asimov, the sword of Damocles. Very much looking forward to what Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn have programmed for us this time around.
Alex + Ada #4
Avengers World #3 (Marvel): Certainly isn't a must read, but hasn't been bad. Certainly worth another issue.
Daredevil #36 (Marvel): The end–for now. We know where it's going from here, yet I wonder where it's going from here. From Hell's Kitchen to Hells Angels? Is DD gonna chill on Devil's Peak? Or drink from the Devil's Punchbowl?
Uncanny X-Men #17 (Marvel): This isn't a good sign: I don't really remember what happened in #16. Then again, maybe it's the sign I've been waiting for all along. Maybe I should just be done with this book once and for all and put my four bucks toward something I won't whine about every damn month. Hmm. Maybe save up for Rucka's Cyclops book out in May.
X-Men #11 (Marvel): I swore after #10 that I was done. That's three times after only ten issues! Sounds about right.
Curse #2 (BOOM!): I wasn't overly impressed with #1. Figure I'll give it another shot.
Extinction Parade #5 (Avatar): I have an idea: let's marry Max Brooks's writing with Alex Maleev's artwork. That'd be something! As it is, this is a tolerable exploration of the relationship between otherwise intolerable vampires and zombies brought to the page in the typical Avatar style.
The Midas Flesh #3 (BOOM!): #2 was one of our Top 5 Books of January! Our needle's pointing due Ryan North!
The Midas Flesh #3
Quantum and Woody #8 (Valiant): James Asmus is keeping it crazy in his little corner of the Valiant Universe. Always good for a laugh.
Unity #4 (Valiant): Outside of Mind MGMT, this is where Matt Kindt's clearly most comfortable. And with Kindt's Rai reboot on the way, we'll see just how comfortable. Makes all the sense in the world that Valiant would be the best fit for him: he gets to remodel the house instead of simply moving the furniture around.
My daughter now expects a "present" every time I come home from the comic store. Instead of just grabbing something off the shelf willy-nilly, I'm going in with a plan. I'm calling it…
Avery's Pick of the Week:
Scribblenauts Unmasked: Crisis of Imagination #2 (DC): There's no doubt about it: Avery loves her superheroes. While flipping through #1, however, she seemed to like the little villains the most. I'm in trouble.
Scribblenauts Unmasked: Crisis of Imagination #2
What are you looking forward to this week?
Turning pages,
Ales Kot, All-New Invaders, All-New X-Men, Annie Wu, Avengers World, Batman and Two-Face, Bedlam, Braden Lamb, Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Wood, Cary Nord, Cliff Chiang, Dark Horse, DC Comics, Dead Body Road, Deadly Class, Eternal Warrior, Fred Van Lente, Garry Brown, Greg Pak, Hawkeye, Image, James Robinson, Jonathan Hickman, Justin Jordan, Matt Fraction, Matt Kindt, Matteo Scalera, Max Dunbar, Mind MGMT, Nick Spencer, Patrick Gleason, Peter J. Tomasi, Rachel Dodson, Rick Remender, Robert Venditti, Ryan Browne, Ryan North, Shelli Paroline, Steve Pugh, Stuart Immonen, Terry Dodson, The Massive, The Midas Flesh, The Mocking Dead, Trevor Hairsine, Wesley Craig, Will Tempest, Wonder Woman, X-Men, X-O Manowar, zero
A nice balance of books–comic books, yes; checkbook, not so much.
The Massive #19 (Dark Horse): Brian Wood and Garry Brown have a long way to go to outdo what they did with "Longship," the finest arc of the series thus far. Could cut the tension with a harpoon–and just barely! But they've got plenty of wind in their sails and Arkady–an even bigger threat than the great white whaler, Bors Bergsen–on deck, so I'm betting on better.
Mind MGMT #18 (Dark Horse): We celebrated Mind MGMT as our #2 book of 2013 and issue #17 as the Best Single Issue of 2013. Well, wouldn't you know, the Year of the Snake comes to a close in the jungle, the mighty jungle, where an agent sleeps tonight…
Mind MGMT #18
Batman and Two-Face #27 (DC): One of Scott Snyder's (Batman, The Wake) favorite books of 2013! So if you've discounted my opinion before, maybe you'll believe me now: Tomasi and Gleason's Batman is the best of bunch! If a potent dose of the Dark Knight is what you crave, cave in and buy this book!
Wonder Woman #27 (DC): We're through twenty-seven mostly solid issues and where have we gotten? No, really: someone please tell me why I should keep buying this! It was good just ain't good enough anymore. Something to consider: if I drop this and Suicide Squad–once Kindt's run is over–I'll be down to one New 52 book. One. Sad–especially with Marvel's All-New effort to inject excitement back into their brand with big names and tempting titles. Umm, I guess, in a way, I'm kind of calling for a Newer 52.
Bedlam #11 (Image): It's taken me this long to suss Spencer out. But now that I have, I feel fully invested in Fillmore's story and have no good reason to ditch.
Dead Body Road #2 (Image): While I wasn't blown away by #1, I like Justin Jordan enough to give it another shot. If it doesn't live up to expectations, I'll bag it and tag it, put it in a box, and say good-bye.
Deadly Class #1 (Image): Thing is, I really don't like Rick Remender enough to give any of his books any kind of shot. Captain America's a disaster in any dimension, Uncanny Avengers was unreadable from the get-go, and Black Science gave me every reason to disbelieve in Remender and in his ability to create a world of worth. To sharpen my point: the premise of this book sounds a lot like Five Weapons–also from Image–doesn't it? Ugh. And after all that, I'll probably still buy it.
Zero #5 (Image): #4 was brilliant. In fact, it solidified Zero as one of our Top Ten Books of 2013. Ales Kot and his coterie of artists have so far delivered four fantastic stanzas of versified violence! And to think the epic has just begun!
Zero #5
All-New Invaders #1 (Marvel): James Robinson gave us one of our favorite books of 2012. Steve Pugh worked on another one of our favorites from 2012. Hope they come together to give us something to shout about in 2014.
All-New X-Men #22.Now (Marvel): Trial of Jean Grey? Should I yawn.now? We're stuck in the All-New past! And so am I, apparently. There's no other reason for my holding on.
Avengers World #2 (Marvel): One more try. (If you're humming a little Timmy T, I've done my job.)
Hawkeye #16 (Marvel): My second favorite superhero book behind Daredevil. And easily Fraction's sexiest offering. Yes, I know what else he's writing.
Hawkeye #16
X-Men #9 (Marvel): The addition of the Dodsons has been a Godsend. They've double-handedly drawn me back in.
Eternal Warrior #5 (Valiant): I'm leaning toward dropping it. Hasn't been bad. Just don't think I'm into it enough. Feel like I'm buying it out of loyalty for Valiant. Not a good enough reason to part with $4–not anymore.
The Midas Flesh #2 (BOOM!): The first issue was pure gold! Sorry. But, no, really: Ryan North's clearly headed in the right direction. Yuk, yuk.
The Mocking Dead #5 (Dynamite): Here it is: the final chapter of a series that can only be described as A Modest Proposal for our time!
The Mocking Dead #5
X-O Manowar #21 (Valiant): I still like Aric a lot–whether he's in the armor or not.
What's I&N Store (12/18)

Haven't had back-to-back weeks like this. Yowza.
Buzzkill #4 (Dark Horse): One of the best minis of the year comes to a close. No need to crack open a cold one to enjoy what Donny Cates and the crew have brewed up–but it certainly can't hurt. In fact, let's drink to what they've accomplished thus far and to the promise of a perfectly choreographed booze-fueled father-son throwdown.
Buzzkill #4
Dark Horse Presents #31 (Dark Horse): A hefty price to pay for a sliver of of the sublime Mind MGMT. Oh, I'll be paying it, all right! Just like I paid…for…this…
Mind MGMT #17 pp. 22-23
The Massive #18 (Dark Horse): Over the life of The Massive, Brian Wood has put on a clinic in understatement and tension–no single issue more successful than the revealing #17, which put Callum Israel's hatred for Bors Bergsen in context. Brilliant.
Batman and Two-Face #26 (DC): I've said it before; I'll say it again: despite what you've been led to believe, this is the best Batman book going. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason deserve far more credit for what they've been doing with Batman, particularly post-Robin.
Wonder Woman #26 (DC): Still worth my $2.99. One of the few DC books worth my time.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #29 (IDW): I don't know, maybe. I really enjoyed "City Fall"–and not only because of Mateus Santolouco's artwork, surprisingly enough; so, I'm actually leaning toward yes. At least a flip-through, right?
TMNT #29
A Voice in the Dark #2 (Image): #1 was mostly tedious, but Taylor has twisted my arm with a pretty terrific plot twist. I want to–I have to!–see it play out. Man, it's the same problem I have when it comes to watching any cop show: if I watch the first two minutes, I'm stuck for the full sixty–even if I've never seen an episode of that particular show before. Such a sucker!
Black Science #2 (Image): Surprise! Remender's playing with dimensions. Oh, sorry: Yay! If I end up buying it, it'll be definitive proof that I have no self control.
East of West #8 (Image): Hickman's been east of efficient in his storytelling. That's not a fault; in fact, I appreciate his frugality–especially considering how much reading I have to do!
Mind the Gap #16 (Image): One of my favorites is back with Act II. I can't wait to see how McCann and crew outdo themselves. It'll be tough, though, especially after the brilliant dueling-artist dual-narrative that closed out Act I. Highest of expectations.
Mind the Gap #16
Saga #17 (Image): Guaranteed goodness.
Ten Grand #6 (Image): Dragged down–waaaaaaay down–by Templesmith's departure. More than likely, I'll pass on it. Sad, too, because I had finally gotten into it.
Zero #4 (Image): An amazing three-issue run to kick off the series. Yeah, there's a 0% chance of my missing this one; in fact, I'd give up my left arm for a copy! Can't wait to drink up another 24 pages of Ales Kot's creative juices.
All-New X-Men #20 (Marvel): Hey, it is what it is.
Daredevil #34 (Marvel): I'm looking forward to the end of the run–just not sure if it's for the right reasons.
X-Men #8 (Marvel): Bringing on the Dodsons was as genius a move as can be. They're perfect for this book. It's keeping me around, that's for sure.
Department of Monsterology #3 (Renegade Arts): I loved #2. Looking forward to seeing what they've got in store for us this time around.
Department of Monsterology #3
Eternal Warrior #4 (Valiant): So far, so good.
The Extinction Parade #4 (Avatar): I've been picking it up for my wife. Yeah, well, she hasn't read #2 yet. I'm caught up, though. Nothing special.
Hit #4 (BOOM!): The solid hard-boiled crime drama from Bryce Carlson and Vanesa Del Rey comes to a close.
Hit #4
The Midas Flesh #1 (BOOM!): Time for another adventure from Ryan North! Sounds fun! I mean, everything he's touched so far has turned to gold, right?
X-O Manowar #20 (Valiant): I was really surprised by–and really liked–Cary Nord's artwork on #19. Hoping to get more of the same here.

Brain Boy #3 (Dark Horse): Kind of glad it's over. Of late, I've been high on anything Fred Van Lente (Archer & Armstrong, The Mocking Dead), but this has been rather underwhelming. The art from R.B. Silva, however, has been brain blowing!
Buzzkill #3 (Dark Horse): A sniper of a first issue, followed up by an even sharper second shot. Here's to hopin' Cates et al don't kill the buzz–cuz we know what happens all too often to minis that rely on clever premises: Can you say Colder? How 'bout Dream Thief?
Batman and Two-Face #25 (DC): #24 started off a little rough for me. Then came the moment Dent became Two-Face. Wow. Peter J. Tomasi's got a knack–a Knight knack not seen in the big Batbook. He and his book deserve more credit and attention for what he and it are accomplishing here in the rather unforgiving confines of the New 52.
Harley Quinn #0 (DC): I love Harley. Not so sure I'm going to love this. Will too many artists spoil the birth of this series? We'll see. Heh.
The Wake #5 (DC/Vertigo): Wake me when it's over.
A Voice in the Dark #1 (Image): I'm not familiar with Larime Taylor, but I am intrigued by the premise. Oh, and it's an Image #1, so… Not that that's any sort of guarantee: see Umbral. Ugh.
Clone #12 (Image): #11 was, perhaps, the best issue yet. It's a high energy read that's expertly crafted: from the ridiculously detailed art to the danger drummed up in the dialogue. An absolute clinic in the power of the page turn.
Clone #12
Sex Criminals #3 (Image): Expect another Fraction-packed issue! Fantasizing: in the end, will this series prove to be no more than an experiment in creative masturbation, or will it all come together into something far more satisfying? Either way, I'm open for to another session.
Sheltered #5 (Image): Doggone it! Now, that's the way to end a comic book! With #4, Ed Brisson bared his teeth and the series' soul. Sure, there's long-term concern; but in the short term, this hard-hitter comes with high expectations.
Zero #3 (Image): Ales Kot has found his playground. #2 was brilliant. There is a 0% chance of my missing this one.
Daredevil #33 (Marvel): A monster #32 was overshadowed by the horrifying news of the imminent demise of this remarkable run of Daredevil. I'm not sure that I'm down with the daring jump to digital only. Makes me super sad, especially since it's this run–starting with #1–that brought me back to comics after too many years away. Who knew they'd be wrapping it up so soon?
Uncanny X-Men #14 (Marvel): I long to be an ex-X-reader. Seriously. In fact, I really thought Battle of the Atom would be enough to drive me away for good. Thing is, I'm buying into Bendis's Cyclops. And Bachalo's awesome. Oh, and…
X-Men #7 (Marvel): After a terrible #6 (a BotA tie-in, of course), I swore up and down that I was out. But Brian Wood's so good–well, at writing comics, anyway.
Eternal Warrior #3 (Valiant): So far, so good. Greg Pak is keeping my interest by keeping things above sword.
Imagine Agents #2 (BOOM!): I haven't read #1 yet. Gonna grab this, you know, just in case. Heck: Derek liked it! Usually, that's good enough for me!
Rachel Rising #21 (Abstract Studio): #20 was filled with Moore amazing moments–a masterful mix of horror and humor. Loved the first two pages with the serpentine smoke, snaking from panel to panel. Speaking of snakes…
Rachel Rising #21
X-O Manowar #19 (Valiant): Has really taken off of late. Ironic, eh? You know, because they've finally returned to Earth and… Oh, you know.
Afterlife with Archie #2 (Archie): You know you loved #1. And if you didn't, it's only because you didn't read it. Great storytelling from Roberto Aguirre Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla. That's right: get you some Archie!

Still riding a post-Comic Con high. You know what that means: I'll be looking to buy, buy, buy!
Brain Boy #2 (Dark Horse): Underwhelming initial effort on Fred Van Lente's part. Hard to live up to the standard he's set for himself with the Grade A Archer & Armstrong and the hilarious The Mocking Dead. R.B. Silva's art, however, is stunning.
Buzzkill #2 (Dark Horse): Liked #1 more than I expected to. Surprised me not unlike the way BOOM!'s Six-Gun Gorilla #1 did. No, I'm not saying I expect it to be as good on as many levels as SGG; it's clearly not that kind of book. But expectations have been raised. Let's hope it doesn't fizzle out like Dark Horse's Colder and Dream Thief.
Animal Man #24 (DC): OK, now they're getting serious: American Vampire's Rafael Albuquerque has taken over art duties. Let's see if this is the change Jeff Lemire needed to set this ship aright.
Batman and Two-Face #24 (DC): Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason deserve far more credit than they've received for the work they've been doing over here. Anyone not under a spell should be able to tell: this is the best Batman book going. Don't take my word for it; pick it up and find out for yourself. This issue kicks off a new arc, so jump on board now and find out what all of the buzz should be about.
Batman/Superman #4 (DC): So far, so good. Greg Pak's making sense despite treading in Morrison-like territory, and Jae Lee's work is beautiful, as always.
Batwoman #24 (DC): Battle of the Bat-Sexes. Sad to know we're coming up on the end of what's been a tremendous run with this character.
Wonder Woman #24 (DC): "Strange new era of Wonder Woman"? OK. Why not?
Nowhere Men #6 (Image): From out of nowhere comes the sixth issue of one of our favorite series. I may have to break into the box and ground myself before taking off with this.
Nowhere Men #6
Sheltered #4 (Image): #3 showed some cracks. I'm concerned that Brisson's going to break down like he did during his Comeback.
Zero #2 (Image): Ales Kot proved he's still got it with his opening salvo. Easily wiped the terrible stain of his awkward run on Suicide Squad from my brain.
Hawkeye #13 (Marvel): Fraction's back on his home turf. He's shown, however, that he's comfortable just about anywhere nowadays, as evidenced by the sensational Satellite Sam and the arresting Sex Criminals.
Uncanny X-Men #13 (Marvel): Battle of the Atom will undoubtedly end with a considerable amount of collateral damage–including all of the X-books that have been tied to the debacle that has been Battle of the Atom. Yes, this may very well be the push I need to get off of the X-[insert conveyance here].
Bloodshot #15 (Valiant): Definitely on the chopping block. See: I haven't cared too much for Bloodshot since we said goodbye to Gamma. I'll give it this one to grab me good. If it doesn't, then it's goodbye.
X-O Manowar #18 (Valiant): Not long ago, I almost quit on X-O. Glad I didn't.
Extinction Parade #3 (Avatar): My wife likes it more than I do.
Letter 44 #1 (Oni Press): If you haven't read the ubiquitous raves for Charles Soule's latest offering, then you haven't…well…read the…ubiquitous…raves for Charles Soule's latest offering.
Letter 44 #1
The Sixth Gun #35 (Oni Press): As fun an ongoing as your bound to find.
Six-Gun Gorilla #5 (BOOM!): Ah, the best for last. So far, we're talking contender for Book of the Year. Met Jeff Stokely at the NYCC, and–I don't think he'd mind my saying–he promised that this one's a wild ride. I believe him.
Six-Gun Gorilla #5

It was three years ago today, around 4:16 in the morning (yes, 4:16 on 4/16. We really should play that number in the lottery) that my father died in an ICU at Hershey Medical Center here in Pennsylvania. I don't say "passed away" or "passed on," or some other tidy little term for the ending of his life, because he didn't just fade away. He died. Pancreatic cancer got its gnarled, evil hooks into him, and even though he fought it–fought it hard, fought it gracefully, fought it with more strength and class than I can wrap my head around yet–the cancer won. I watched my dad die. I wouldn't recommend it. It was kind of hard.
I miss him. Every day, I miss him. My dad and I butted heads a lot (any of my family reading this right now probably just snorted their agreement), but my gosh, I loved him. He was my go-to guy for books, for talking about writing, for cooking. I remember what a hard time he had when I decided to turn vegetarian at the age of 12–he'd grown up on farms as a very poor foster kid, working harder than I ever have, slaughtering his own dinner. What was this nonsense about not eating the damn hamburger sitting on my plate?–but within years he was digging up recipes for tofu and urging me to try this stuff called Quorn he'd heard about as a meat substitute (Bless my dad's heart, but Quorn is gross. I tried it, for him, but uhh). When he died, I felt like an extension of me just kind of fell off the planet. Not a good feeling, that.
Now, three years later, his first granddaughter Saoirse has entered the "Look at me!" stage. "Look at me, Mom!" she calls out as she does jumping jacks in the living room. "Look at me, Dad!" we hear, as she climbs up the ladder to her swing set. And I've realized now, as the children are getting older–as I'm fully and completely becoming an actual grown-up parent–is that the "Look at me!" stage never really ends. I see how well the girls behave while out shopping, and I think, Look at this, Dad! Look what I can do. I make a chocolate and wine beef stew (gagging all the while, mind you) for a Sunday night meal, and think, Man, Dad would've loved this. I write these very words and wonder what he'd think of them.
It doesn't end, does it, that desire to make the people you love proud? I think Molly Wizenberg said it best in her memoir A Homemade Life, regarding her own father's death from cancer: He could have taught me a lot of things," she wrote. "We'd hardly begun." Tomorrow we'll take the girls to Arlington to visit the grave of a grandfather they'll never know. It would've been fun, seeing the girls climb all over him. He'd be beside himself that I was packing away filet mignon and cheesesteaks when I was pregnant. And I seriously have a list of books that I wish–wish!–I could get him to read. It's just, I haven't gotten used to him being gone yet, and honestly, I don't really want to. Because if I get used to him being gone, then that means that part of me is sort of lost, or not cemented, somehow. And I still need him here, in this world, with me, even if all I have left is a memory.
Look at me, Dad. Look what I can do.
>Why, thank you! That was nice to hear (I mean, read).
>After reading this, anyone, even those that did not know him, will as though they did. I am also sure he is looking and smiling at the fantastic job you are doing. These "vignettes" are my favorite escape from the day.

View source for Patton Boggs, Karl Rove and OHA
← Patton Boggs, Karl Rove and OHA
 The November 28, 2005 issue of "Newsweek" magazine includes an article linking White House chief of staff Karl Rove to Washington lobbying firm Patton Boggs and the payment of $400,000 by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to Patton Boggs to lobby for the Akaka bill. The implication is that Rove may be improperly using his influence with the President to lobby on behalf of Patton Boggs clients, including lobbying for the Akaka bill, in return for money and legal representation for himself regarding the investigation of CIA leaks involving Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Here are excerpts from the "Newsweek" article: ''Deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove recently took out a $100,000 line of credit from Wells Fargo Bank ... any Rove legal debts -- which won't have to be publicly disclosed until next year -- could bring attention to his relationship with Patton Boggs, the D.C. powerhouse lobbying firm, where his lawyer in the leak case, Robert Luskin, is a partner. Lobbying records show Patton Boggs represents a battery of foreign governments, corporations and others with interests before the government. Rove has been involved in White House meetings involving at least one big Patton Boggs client: the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, which paid the firm $400,000 earlier this year to lobby for a controversial native-Hawaiian recognition bill. Patton Boggs lawyer Ben Ginsberg, a Rove friend and big GOP lawyer who recommended he hire Luskin, is a principal on the case. The White House -- which recently ordered all staffers to take an ethics training course -- declined to say if there is any policy for Rove to recuse himself from issues involving Patton Boggs clients.'' The Bush administration has shown ambivalence on the Akaka bill. The "Newsweek" revelations about Rove might explain why. Political influence-peddling sometimes squeezes out principled decision-making. On the policy side, career civil rights experts and Constitutional lawyers in the Department of Justice have consistently opposed the Akaka bill and other Hawaiian race-based programs, but have sometimes been muzzled and over-ruled by political pressure. The Republican conservative base has strongly opposed the Akaka bill as shown by dozens of newspaper articles and blog comments during the period in mid-2005 when the Akaka bill appeared headed for Senate action. Even as far back as year 2000 the Wall Street Journal editorialized against it; and in 2001 Roger Clegg and Michelle Malkin published commentaries opposing it. For a collection of the most important published articles opposing the Akaka bill, in chronological order (about 200 pages), see: http://www.angelfire.com/hi2/hawaiiansovereignty/AkakaPublishedOpposition.html On the political side, there have been many rumors that Karl Rove and other strategists in the Republican party want to support the Akaka bill as a way of helping Hawai'i's Republican (in name only) Governor Linda Lingle, who is likely to run for re-election or who might someday run for the Senate. For example, the Grassroot Institute survey of Hawai'i households showed that 2/3 of all who responded to the question said they oppose the Akaka bill. http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/bigfiles3/AkakaScientificSurvey070505.html A rumor is that when those results were in the process of being distributed by hand to the offices of all 100 Senators, the person distributing them was told by a White House operative to stop doing that because it would embarrass Governor Lingle who was at that moment personally lobbying Senators for the Akaka bill. Lingle has made the Akaka bill her top priority in an all-out effort to win the support of what she regards as a monolithic ethnic Hawaiian swing vote comprising 20% of Hawai'i's population. She has ordered her appointed Attorney General to vigorously defend state government agencies providing racially exclusionary benefits, against civil rights and taxpayer lawsuits. Lingle has also marched in red-shirt rallies in support of powerful race-based institutions (both government and private); see http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/bigfiles3/AntiAmericanHawaiianProtesters.html and also http://www.angelfire.com/hi2/hawaiiansovereignty/redshirtsept2004.html Throughout all 5 years of the Bush administration so far, there has been the same tension between principle and politics on issues such as affirmative action and border control. Karl Rove is the political "architect" trying to broaden the Republican base by appealing to powerful leaders and institutions in the black and Hispanic communities (and the ethnic Hawaiian 20% "swing vote" in Hawai'i). Identity politics caters to a mistaken stereotype that all blacks support racial quotas or affirmative action, that all Hispanics support open borders, or that all people with a drop of Hawaiian native blood support racial separatism or ethnic nationalism. Identity politics conflicts with the traditional Republican focus on individual rights and equality under the law. Political expediency sometimes triumphs in the short run over principled decision-making. Unfortunately, political expediency might also sometimes lead politicians to take money under questionable circumstances, or to exchange political influence for money-equivalents such as legal representation. The connection between Karl Rove, Patton Boggs, $400,000, and the Akaka bill is troubling, although so far only circumstantial. For further information about the Bush administration's activities related to the Akaka bill, see: "Bush Administration Actions and Statements on Native Hawaiian Recognition Bill, 2000-2004 (includes 2005 addendum)" at: http://www.angelfire.com/hi2/hawaiiansovereignty/AkakaBush20002004.html =Full text of Newsweek report= http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10117472/site/newsweek/print/1/displaymode/1098/ MSNBC.com Leak Investigation: For Libby and Rove, Legal Woes—And Bills Newsweek Nov. 28, 2005 issue - As special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald continues his probe into the CIA leak affair, the probe is taking an escalating financial toll. I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, the indicted former vice presidential chief of staff, has set up a legal defense fund to pay the bills of his high-priced lawyers. In an effort to raise $5 million, the trust has assembled a board of major Republican fund-raisers, lobbyists and prominent neoconservatives. The chair: Melvin Sembler, a wealthy Florida real-estate developer and ex GOP finance chief who, ironically, was President George W. Bush's ambassador to Italy when the embassy in Rome first got the forged yellowcake documents that helped trigger the affair. Others include ex CIA director (and outspoken Iraq-war supporter) James Woolsey, ex GOP presidential candidate Steve Forbes, former senator Fred Thompson, ex U.N. ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick and lobbyists Bill Paxon and Wayne Berman (whose wife is the White House social secretary). During a conference call last week, Libby thanked the participants. "The money is pouring in," said Barbara Comstock, a spokeswoman for the group. But because it was set up after Libby left the White House, the fund is private—and donors won't be disclosed. Libby may not be the only one with pressing financial needs. Deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove recently took out a $100,000 line of credit from Wells Fargo Bank, according to real-estate records obtained by NEWSWEEK. The loan is secured by Rove's vacation home in Rosemary Beach in the Florida Panhandle worth more than $1 million, according to his most recent financial disclosure. Rove signed the loan papers on Oct. 22—just nine days after he testified before the grand jury for the fourth time. A White House spokeswoman said Rove's new line of credit is "unrelated" to his legal expenses. But any Rove legal debts—which won't have to be publicly disclosed until next year—could bring attention to his relationship with Patton Boggs, the D.C. powerhouse lobbying firm, where his lawyer in the leak case, Robert Luskin, is a partner. Lobbying records show Patton Boggs represents a battery of foreign governments, corporations and others with interests before the government. Rove has been involved in White House meetings involving at least one big Patton Boggs client: the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, which paid the firm $400,000 earlier this year to lobby for a controversial native-Hawaiian recognition bill. Patton Boggs lawyer Ben Ginsberg, a Rove friend and big GOP lawyer who recommended he hire Luskin, is a principal on the case. The White House—which recently ordered all staffers to take an ethics training course—declined to say if there is any policy for Rove to recuse himself from issues involving Patton Boggs clients. "All ethical obligations are being met," said spokeswoman Nicole Wallace. —Michael Isikoff and Holly Bailey

Koreans Fly in the Sky in 16th Century
By Comrade Natalie on December 25, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
An artist's rendering of bigo, likely the first glider the world had ever known.
By Cha Kwang Hyok, researcher at the History Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences in the DPRK
Humans began to come up with the ideas of developing flying objects in the world in the Middle Ages. Leonardo da Vinci, Italian painter and technician, proposed an idea about the device which could be controlled by hands and whose main planes fluttered by feet. Many other ideas reflecting the humans' dream of flying freely into the sky like birds were also produced, but they were implemented centuries later.
But there was a flying object which was made and applied to actual fighting at the time when these ideas began to be proposed, and it was called bigo in Korean, meaning a "flying cart".
According to an old record, Ojuyonmunjangjonsango, during the Imjin Patriotic War between 1592 and 1598 when Japanese invaders encircled the Jinju Fort in the Ryongnam area (South Kyongsang Province at present), the Korean soldiers in the fort used bigo to carry out military signal communication and it flew about 12 kilometres.
Bigo is known to have been made by a Yun Tal Gyu. It was made of leather in the shape of bird and flew up in the air by sending out a gust of wind from the belly filled with air, with four people on board.
Decades-long study of data on it reveals that bigo consisted of the head, body, wings and tail like a Japanese crested ibis in structure and the body was equipped with a device used to move wings in the middle, a bellow for blowing air, an air bag for storing and jetting wind and a device to operate them, with four seats and conditions provided for four-member crew.
The wings and tails were connected to the central part and body by several ropes to control the flight.
It had wheels at the bottom of its body so that it could run on the ground. Hence the name bigo, or a flying cart.
Bigo ran on the top of high mountains or the flatland of mountain forts and began to glide usually about 200-300 metres, with its stability and controllability of glide ensured by the reaction of the wind blasted from the wind bag (jet propulsion at present) and the movements of wings. It was able to fly nearly 12 kilometers if it was in a favourable condition like the ascending air current.
Some Korean historical records say that there was a fact that earlier in the period of Koryo Kingdom between 918 and 1392, a military attack was made on the enemy positions by carrying soldiers aboard many kites during a battle to repulse foreign aggressors. If it is proved, there will be a possibility that it might be much earlier than the 16th century when humans flew into the air in the world history.

Niepce, the original discoverer of the art in conjunction with Daguerre, used exclusively the bitumen of Judea ; this substance is changed by light, only with much slowness, yet irrespectively of the pictures taken in the camera, he succeeded in copying engravings by the sale action of the light, and in making others, trom which a limited number of impressions could be taken. He operated at first on tin plates, for which he afterwards substituted thin sheets plated with silver ; it was while endeavoring to strengthen the shades of his impressions on the plate that he used iodine. By this means he discovered the photogenic properties of the coating of iodide of silver, which are manif ested by a deep change of color, an unexpected result for the iodide of silver precipitated, is perhaps the insoluble compound of silver that darkens best ii. the light. To TAKE OUT STAINS FKOM THE HANDS— A correspondent gives the following directions for taking out stains on the hands of Da-guerreotypists :—Blue spots are produced by the union on the skin of a salt of iron with the cyanide of potassium. In this manner, unintentionally, Prussian blue is formed ; now Prussian blue is soluble in caustic alkalies, it can therefore be made to disappear by rubbing the dyed part with, a weak solution of potash or caustic soda ; ammonia likewise gets rid of it. Yellow spots are attributable to the formation of a sub-salt, or an oxide of iron. When recent they disappear more easily than when they have been allowed to remain for some time ; in the first case oxalic acid is useful, or the salt of sorrel ; in the second hydrochloric acid, diluted with two or three times its volume of water. Black marks may be of two kinds : if they are owing to the union of a salt of iron with gallic acid, which forms common ink ; they can be made to disappear with hydrochloric acid prepared as above. If they are owing to the action of a salt of silver on the gallic acid, by moistening them with hydrochloric acid, they can be classified in the list ot ordinary stains ot salts of silver. These latter always dye the skin black; in time this color changes to a violet, afterwards to a dark brown, to a light brown—and at last disappears. To get rid of these stains the employment of an alcoholic solution of iodine has been advised. This method olten efficacious, has the fault of dyeing the skin a yellow fawn color, the more disagreeable because it continues for several days. The infallible remedy is the cyanide of potassium. By spreading it in a powder over the part to be taken out, and then gently moistening it with water and rubbing it over the same, it will always clear off the stain Cyanide of potassium is a strong poison, it is therefore proper to prevent any harm that might result from its introduction undr the nails or in a scratch, to wash the hands afterwards with a little chlorine, or, preferably, Javelle water. The following is a resume of the directions to be employed :— Is;. Using hydrochloric acid, which destroys the yellow color, owing to the salts ot iron, and which restores all the salts ot silver to the state of chlorides. 2nd. Soda or any other caustic alkali which takes off the blue color attributable to Prussian blue, and neutralizes the little acid remaining on the skin after the former operation. 3rd. Cyanide of potassium, which takes away all the stain due to the salts of silver. 4th. Lastly, for sanitary precaution, chlri-ded or Javelle water.— [Lumire.


There is this awesome natural foods grocery store just a few blocks from my house that I run into from time to time to pick up something I need. I never do my weekly shopping there because the produce tends to be astronomically priced. A few weeks ago, week 30 to be exact, I was all ready to do my weekly pregnancy update when I realized I was lacking the required large butternut squash.
Ten dollars turned out to be well worth it when this latest creation hit the dinner table. But first, another short story!
I had it all set in my head that I wanted to make enchiladas, and so I made a point to grab a jar of enchilada sauce at Trader Joe's during last week's shopping trip. And just like I always do when buying something new, I took a quick peek at the ingredients list just to make sure nothing scary was hiding in there.
One of the listed ingredients was "chicken-style base" which didn't seem to list any actual animal products, but still threw me for a loop. I found myself dialing Casey for his opinion, and as I rattled down the list of 20+ ingredients, I realized perhaps – vegetarian or not – this sauce might be better homemade.
(Adapted from Emeril Lagasse) Print this recipe!
Instructions: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until completely dissolved and smooth. Add chili powder and stir for 1 minute to cook.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Then carefully peel, de-seed, and cube the butternut squash.
Set squash aside to cool. Dice onions and sauté until brown and soft. Add beans and cook for a minute or two until warmed.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. If you prefer, you can also top with cheese before baking, but we opted to eat ours naked.
Serve with a side of your favorite salsa for dipping. I chose salsa verde, mmmmm.
Roasting the butternut squash brings out a wonderful caramelized flavor, that when combined with onions, beans, and spices – make this dish a delicious addition to your dinner menu.

I have made this umpteen times since it was first posted, and it gets rave reviews from everyone I share it with each time. Hands down my favorite recipe of yours, Emily, and that is saying something!
Bought butternut squash at our local farmers market and then found your recipe! Loved making the enchilada sauce from scratch. We love chipoltel chili powder for its smoky taste so I did 2.5 T chili powder and 1/2 T chipoltel powder. We like corn tortillas but they are hard to roll into enchiladas so I layered them over the enchilada sauce, spread out the squash mixture, and added another layer or tortillas and then the sauce. Sliced perfectly into squares for serving.
I made these tonight. They were so, so good. I'm excited about eating the leftovers. And I love that I now know that Mexican food can be excellent without cheese (because I'm trying to stay away from dairy as much as possible).
Awesome – thanks for telling me!
These are going into the regular rotation! Yum!

Tupelo Buffalo Park And Zoo
Information on: Add an Article Add an Event Edit
2272 North Coley Road
The Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo spans 210 acres and boasts more than 260 animals. Originally a cattle ranch, in 1997, Dan Franklin began adding buffalo and removing cattle. His herd of buffalo grew to more than 300 and was, at one time, the largest herd east of the Mississippi River. Construction of the zoo began, and the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo officially opened in November 2001. The zoo has grown over the years to include an expansive range of exotic animals, a reptile exhibit, petting zoo, playgrounds, and a Chickasaw Indian Village.
The park is also home to world famous, Oliver, a Capuchin monkey whose two escapes in 2007 made newspapers all over the world. His escapes were even mentioned on The Colbert Report and David Lettermans Top 10 List. Oliver is now the proud father of 6 baby Capuchin monkeys. Oliver has lots of neighbors such as Tigers, Giraffes , Ring-tailed Lemurs, camels, and yak and more!
The park is a wonderful adventure for children and adults featuring guided tours, a petting zoo, pony rides, zip lines, pillow jumper, playgrounds, and more! Pavilions are open to reservations for parties, and our picnic area is the perfect place for a peaceful lunch with your family and friends. Guided tours are available through the Buffalo Park on our Bison Tour or VIP Tour where you may come face to face with buffalo, zebra, Watusi cattle, and many other animals. Guided Horse back riding on Saturday and Sunday weather permitting. You will learn not only the history of our park, but also the history of the white buffalo and Native Americans.

Integration & Physician Issues
Healthcare transitions mandate recruiters screen for savvy physicians
- Tuesday, July 14th, 2015 Print	| Email
Mandated change will never stop coming to medicine, and that change extends beyond medical discoveries to physicians and the recruitment of them.
Sourcing physicians who are technologically savvy and show a history of adaptation is becoming increasingly crucial to satisfy clients. This was the case with the shift to electronic medical records and will likely be the case with an upcoming transition whose details are still in flux: the shift to IDC 10.
A grace period was announced in the last few days to ease the anticipated pains of a radical mandate shaking healthcare: on October 1, ICD-10 codes, or International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, will be mandated to replace the previous classification system, ICD-9. Coming this autumn, all doctors will have to change the numerical codes they use to classify every known illness. But thanks to the Texas Medical Association, a transition time of one year has been granted physicians before penalties are enforced for not implementing the change.
ICD-10 as a coding process is regarded as far more complex than its predecessor. A recent study indicates that this complexity will come at a steep cost across the entire health care system for both patients and providers. The total cost just to train medical coders and administrative personnel is estimated to range from $700 million to $1.4 billion to state governments alone.
Most technology advancements have facilitated advances in industries, including physician recruiting. Journalist Malcom Gladwell discusses how differently the consequences electronic medical records (EMR) have been from other advances in a recently published interview: "Because most electronic things have made my own life easier, I just assume that it is the same for doctors—but, in fact, it is not. Technology is always being used in a particular context, and the context of medicine is so similar to the context of banking that you can't draw an analogy from one to the other."
Public perception does not align with the difficulty presented by seismic shifts to like the one to EMR, said Gladwell: "90% of the public thinks that doctors would welcome that innovation and assumes that EMRs made doctors' lives easier, when, in fact, the opposite is true." A conversation with almost any physician will contradict this perception, while a conversation with almost any physician recruiter will find a champion of electronic footprints doctors are now leaving.
Resistance to the ICD-10 shift indicates that this further transition will also be unwelcome. The transitions that lie beyond ICD-10 could include adaptation to wearables and the spread of connected devices called the Internet of Things. For recruiters, the challenge becomes screening for doctors who show an ability to adapt to changes.
A strong history of adaptation to EMR would indicate that a candidate could be more likely to adapt to ICD-10. The story of how physicians with careers long enough to have dealt with the EMR transition becomes crucial, especially in senior-level candidates whose career history currently requires that they were a part of that transition.
New screening techniques may be needed for the recruitment of physicians to be most effective, because transitions like ICD-10 are becoming a rule rather than an exception. As change continues to come, physician recruiters may have to do more than use new technologies to find candidates; they may have to find candidates who actually use new technologies. The hunt is on.

Q: If Task.GetAwaiter().GetResult() in ASP.NET stop all threads? Consider this constructor in ASP.NET app:
private readonly IRepository _repository;

public class SomeController(IRepositoryProvider repositoryProvider)
{
    _repository = repositoryProvider.GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

My question is, if something go wrong that constructor will block whole app for a while or only current thread where request from SomeController were executed?


As part of the 'rules of the road', a loaded industrial vehicle (logging truck, lowbed, etc) always has the right of way.
When clearing vehicles, especially in low light or dark conditions, headlights pointed towards the oncoming vehicle can result in a hazard as it limits the vision for the driver of the oncoming vehicle.
When using a pull out, position your vehicle so that the lights are not in the direction of oncoming traffic.
If you choose not to angle your vehicle away from the oncoming traffic, turn off your headlights/light bars and turn on the 'cargo lamp' at the back of your vehicle. This ensures that your vehicle still remains visible in the dark while avoiding 'blinding' the oncoming driver.

I'm here from harbeth forums and was hoping to find the user named broadsword who made this post [url]http://www.harbeth.co.uk/usergroup/forum/subjective-soundings-your-views-on-audio/the-listening-environment/1683-speakers-behind-the-listener[/url] .
I found out about it recently and was trying to find some answers but to no avail Did you end up finding out why it happens?
Read all about Dianabol now!
Just started using Muso and generally am impressed.
When I look at a multidisc box set, all the separate cover art for the individual albums shows. However, when I play the set, the cover art does not change when an album changes. Is this a bug?
Is there any way to customize the album page to add more information?
Also are there plans to add icons to identify things like dsf files, hi rez, etc. I frequently have a low and high resolution copy of an album, and can't distinguish form the two looking at the way things are currently displayed.
I'm new to Muso and having a problem with the user agreement. I'm hoping to be able to post my problem after posting here.
This is my first visit on this board. Installed Muso yesterday and am very impressed so far by the vast amount of work that has been put into this project!
Can't understand why only some hundred people make use of this fantastic program.
It should be on any computer in the world to make proper use of a musicplayer. Plea se keep it going for years to come!
LMS/Squeezebox user for a long time.
i've installed muso yesterday. at the moment, problems in scanning LMS database.
Relatively new to (trying) to catalog Classical music and Muso looks like it could be a powerful tool to help with that process.
