Special Ops Photographers Offer Unfiltered Look at 'Faces of War'
Eddie Arruza | October 7, 2015 12:16 pm
It was said that the Vietnam War was the first "television war." Indeed, never before had the American homefront been exposed to a regular and often horrifying stream of images from the front lines.
Newspapers and magazines also published photographs unlike any that had been made public during previous wars. And it took courageous cameramen alongside equally courageous soldiers to capture those images and films.
Many of those cameramen were also enlisted soldiers and their work not only captured much of the essential history of that war but now forms part of an exhibit called "Faces of War: Documenting the Vietnam War from the Front Lines" at Chicago's Pritzker Military Museum and Library.
I really would like the audience that looks at our footage [to] think about the man that was behind the lens.
–Ted Acheson
"We worked directly for the chief of staff for the army, and a four-star general, and that's where our orders came from," explained Bill San Hamel, a veteran of the Vietnam War who was a captain in the U.S. Army. Among his duties he served as Pictorial Unit Commander and Motion Picture Director for the Department of the Army Special Photographic Office (DASPO). "They wanted us to document the war, and that was one of our primary missions: get as much combat as we could. We also did training films. Periodically, they would give us a script that we would shoot to."

"I really would like the audience that looks at our footage or our still photographs [to] have an idea and think about it, and look at those pictures and think about the man that was behind the lens," said Ted Acheson, a Vietnam veteran and a former motion picture cameraman with DASPO. "What did that guy have to go through to accomplish that and get that photograph?"
Acheson was named Cinematographer of the Year in 1969 by the Department of Defense and the National Press Photographers Association. His work in Vietnam appeared frequently on nightly newscasts in the U.S. He is also a recipient of the Purple Heart after being wounded in a May 1968 firefight.
Robert C. Lafoon also was with the Department of the Army Special Photo Office. Many of the Vietnam combat photographs you see in publications and on the History Channel were probably taken by him, including this photo taken in February 1966. Lafoon won the Communications-Electronics Command Awards (CECOM) for the photo.
"It's the 101st Airborne in Operation Van Buren, up around Tuy Hòa," Lafoon said about the image. "We had been helping all day long and they flew the chaplain in and he conducted a mass for the day–a couple masses–and that's pretty much it."
We're pleased to welcome the three veterans and cameramen to "Chicago Tonight."

Arthur Leonard Bell was born into a warm albeit rather full family – being one of twelve children. His father (Jonathan Bell), a "true Cockney", was born in 1853 in Bethnal Green. By Arthur's own account his father was quite the "eccentric" given his tendency to walk the Old Kent Road wearing a full suit of armour as well as purchasing strange items, such as stuffed bears and even a camel, to adorn the outside of the family furniture business.
Arthur's mother (Martha Bell nee Callow) was the second wife of Jonathan Bell after his first wife died, leaving seven children. Arthur describes his mother as "a very fine woman, very patient, long suffering and able to retain a fine sense of humour". With a total of 14 mouths to feed, Arthur's upbringing meant he was taught to "eat anything and like it" – something that would prepare him well for his time stationed in India during 1918.
Arthur would participate in many innocent activities with fellow "street urchins" up and down Old Kent Road, causing annoyance to many of the adults. Arthur says what ultimately led to children of his generation becoming "quite hardy and independent" was this combination of indoor and outdoor upbringing. Against this backdrop, it was the world of art that took centre stage for him and during his early years he received a collection of prizes and recognition. Later, he came to believe his background and upbringing worked against him, leaving people of talent such as himself, and his brother Jack, "standing very little chance to get anywhere in the world of art". Nevertheless, he persisted and after leaving school aged 14, landed himself employment at a local printers. He worked there for 2 months before being accepted into Camberwell Art School.
It was during this time World War 1 broke out and while Arthur and his friends did not realise the full significance, two of his brothers would join up straight away in the Veterinary Corps (Sid Bell) and the Artillery (Ernie Bell). These were times of "intense anxiety and excitement" due to the night raids by German Zeppelin airships. When a Zeppelin was shot down over North London by a British aircraft it resulted in a glare so intense that from 12 miles away it was "possible to read a newspaper".
The war impacted on everyday life on all fronts and as a result Arthur's studies at Camberwell were disrupted by interruption and subject cancellations. Nevertheless, conditions did not deter Arthur in his progression and he won a scholarship paying £12 a year. A number of jobs in textiles and design followed before a failed attempt at entry to the Royal College of Art. Frustrations grew at home with finance and conditions to the point that Arthur, now of legal age, turned to military service if only to guarantee to be "sure of clothes". After missing the deadline to volunteer, he became a conscript in the 3rd GD Bedfordshire Regiment, his poor eyesight meaning he was placed in the reserve – jokingly labelled the 'tame rabbits'. His friend H S Sands (Sandy) refused involvement as a conscientious objector.
Arthur's first experiences of the military proved challenging. He dodged any form of voluntary involvement in tasks and always exited his barracks in Hammersmith by the rear. From London, his unit travelled to Kent for the firing range. Rations were small, which resulted in cheeky methods of trickery to secure more. In one instance he was caught by a farmer for stealing apples. Despite his eyesight, Arthur passed his shooting training as First Class Shot, just missing Marksman and the extra 6d a day pay that came with it.
Later, Arthur travelled to Gravesend where he transferred to the Suffolk Regiment. Here, many soldiers were rehabilitated back to full fitness after wounds or injuries sustained in action. Arthur recalls "cussing and swearing" from one soldier passed fit for more action. Further training involved precautions in the event of gas attacks. An officer who seemed all too happy to torment soldiers during this training received "a real pummelling" during the night by soldiers who had been forced to repeatedly use the primitive gas masks – nothing more than a bag with goggles soaked in chemicals. Arthur recites an instance in which, using an improved mask, he sat in a gas chamber for many minutes watching his tunic buttons turn green. As a fully trained soldier he travelled to Aldershot and quartered in Alma Barracks, gaining the rank of Corporal. His promotion didn't last long after an altercation with an officer but overall he was happy to be back "with the lads in the ranks".
With the war still in the balance during 1917, Arthur's battalion travelled to India once they had been inoculated for smallpox and typhoid. A train to Portsmouth took them aboard the cross channel ferry Viper where the cold conditions forced him below deck with "everybody lying on everybody else". The regiment landed in Cherbourg before travelling to Taranto, Italy – an important hub for troops wounded at Salonika. From Taranto it was across the Red Sea to India through the Suez Canal on a ship named The Nile – "a dirty ship with mud oozing from between the deck boards". Conditions were appalling: water shortages led to a lack of hygiene and no fresh kit meant lice.
A stop along the way to restock for coal meant a chance to escape the ship but bathing in the waters was forbidden for fear of shark attacks. The Nile experienced an outbreak of smallpox during this time which dispatched members of the crew "at an alarming rate". Arthur took his turn in standing sentry over the separated part of the ship reserved as a makeshift hospital where, he comments, "it was heart-breaking to hear the delirious noises".
A new ship, The Malwa, took them from the Persian Gulf to Bombay. This was a happier journey and Arthur spent much of his time carrying out duties similar to that of life in barracks. Although the mode of travel changed to rail once on dry land the previous outbreak of smallpox required a speedy journey to Delhi Fort, which would act as a quarantine zone. Arthur was stationed here for many weeks, experiencing illness, with the only outlet being that of sentry and patrol duties. The limited entertainment available included the Mautch Girls and their exotic dance. Arthur comments that he never experienced real India apart from what he saw at railway stations and shipping docks. He describes seeing the station platforms resembling a pile of rags only to realise up close they were homeless people. After spending Jan-Feb 1918 in Delhi, it was on to Dera Dun at the foothills of the Himalayas where there was a noticeable lack of mechanical technology within the small villages.
His destination was Chaubattia, a 5 day march at 15 miles a day and uphill. The hills provided excellent views for Arthur and his unit which, he presumed, had "been used ever since the British have been in India". Each night he was stationed in a camp with his first sight in the morning being that of the Himalayas – "a very lucky young man to have this opportunity". The area included "large rhododendron bushes with beautiful blossoms, eucalyptus trees, pine trees and good clean air".
Long treks down the river were a greatly enjoyed by his unit, despite the leeches. Other wildlife was prevalent also with sights and sounds of jackals, hyenas and even a puma straying too close – enough to warrant it being shot for fear of an attack. Standards were maintained with very strict attention being paid to army routine: parades, presentation and guard duty. Arthur was ultimately ordered to leave the mountain foothills and return to the "plains and the heat" but not before a deep love for this part of the world had been instilled in him. In September, he was transferred in September 1918 to the 1/6th Battalion, the East Surrey Regiment.
Back on the plains and stationed at Agra, the iconic Taj Mahal was within visiting distance. He recalls seeing the surrounding area littered with cremated bodies while the wild local dogs would be seen trying to eat the bones lying about. Deaths increased with the outbreak of influenza and Arthur saw nine bodies in the Jumna River and witnessed the cremation of another. Relocation back into the hills rescued Arthur's unit from the influenza outbreak but not before an 18 mile uphill hike, the destination this time being Chakrata.
His unit was not sent home immediately at the end of the war. Arthur contracted sandfly fever followed by malaria. In hospital, he was promoted to Lance Corporal during a visit by his superior, Col Drayson. He was transferred to sent to Lucknow with men of the Highland Black Watch Regiment where he attended Lucknow Art School. He enjoyed the company of the Scots even if they were "rather wild" and "shook the place up considerably". Arthur enjoyed his time in Lucknow; cycling through gangs of monkeys keen on stealing his food, learning and listening to native students at art school and becoming friendly with a young lady before being publicly shunned for not being a rank of officer – a common issue.
The journey home begain with a 1,200 mile train journey to Bangalore and thence to Deolali, a city 100 miles from Bombay. Here, Arthur, an inexperienced Lance-Corporal, was in a perilous position when he was forced to negotiate with locals – some intent on murder. His own soldiers – a collection of leftovers from demobilisation – included two he suspected had been in Indian prisons. On the final leg, his transport ship was nicknamed the 'Flu Ship', due to eight deaths by influenza as well as the unfortunate death by scalding of an infant.
Following demobilization, Arthur Bell worked as a commercial artist for J Lyons Advertising and G Street & Co, amongst others. During the Second World War, he served in the Auxiliary Fire Service. In 1949 and 1951, two paintings were displayed in the Royal Academy, with both works being sold. In later years, Arthur and his family settled in Walton-on-Thames, where he became a founder member of Molesey Art Society and an art teacher at evening classes at Rydens School.
In 1968, Arthur recorded his recollections of his early life in South London, his time in the army, and post-war years, for his grandchildren. These give a profound insight into a tough upbringing, the struggle to follow an artistic career, and the idiosyncrasies of army life. Nonetheless, Arthur was dissatisfied with what he had written, and produced a revised version in 1976. His handwritten memoirs were transcribed by his daughter.
A testament to his character is evident during the Second World War and his involvement with a local German POW camp at Hinchley Wood near Esher. Arthur wrote to the 'superintendent' asking if the camp held any artists. It did and a Mr Karl Hubert Hagemann agreed to visit Arthur's home every Sunday. Despite the language difficulties the men became good friends and would simply sit and paint. Karl was eventually persuaded to enter a poster design competition by the Diocese of Guildford under an anonymous name which he won. Arthur and Karl remained friends, regularly writing and sending illustrations, until Karl's death. Arthur Leonard Bell died on 16th November 1992, his 94th Birthday.

Just stumbled on this and very pleased that Luke Morris has made such a lovely job with my father's memoirs! How thrilled and surprised my father would have been to see his "ramblings" in print.
We're so pleased to hear from you, and that you are pleased with the article! If you have any further information to add, please do let us know.
It was a pleasure to transcribe your father's writing and having done so it feels like I got to know him very well.
What an interesting life, beautifully narrated.


An inaugural blend for Becker Vineyards, combining Texas High Plains Muscat Canelli and Chenin Blanc, it announces with vibrant floral and citrus notes, that Texas Wine Country is a wonderful place to be!
Fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged in neutral barrels, the crisp fruitiness and full-bodiness is retained, elevating it to a perfect food-paring wine.
Best wine I have add in a long time! Outstanding ! Loved it and want more!
The wine is excellent! Charging me $10 for a small solo cup of wine to go without informing me, not so good. Other than that all was great!

(What's Left of) Our Economy: Now What in the U.S.-China Trade War?
Posted by Alan Tonelson in (What's Left of) Our Economy

This is the second working day since the United States and China reached what the Trump administration is calling a "Phase One" trade deal with Beijing last Friday, and the questions surrounding the agreement still far outweigh what's known. That alone should tell you that towering obstacles continue blocking any confident assessment of where the President's so-called trade war stands, much less where the conflict is likely to go. Even so, here are some observations I hope are useful. (Teaser: One major point concerns tonight's Democratic presidential candidates debate.)
First, the absence of any written statements or documents from the U.S. side describing or even summarizing what's actually in the agreement justifies big doubts that anything deserving the term "deal" has been reached at all. Further reinforcing legitimate skepticism is China's long record of broken promises on trade.
Second, especially strong skepticism is warranted about U.S. claims that any meaningful progress has been made on the so-called structural issues focused on from the very beginning by the Trump administration. For it as I've long argued, China's government is so vast and secretive, and leaves such scanty written records of key decisions, that it will simply be impossible for the United States to monitor and enforce even the most promising Chinese commitments on intellectual property theft, technology extortion, discriminatory Chinese government procurement, and Beijing subsidies that shaft U.S.-owned and other foreign businesses vis-a-vis their Chinese rivals.
Third, even if China currently means to keep its alleged promises to binge buy American agricultural products, any number of external events could upset the apple cart. They include the Hong Kong picture becoming uglier (its becoming prettier can't be totally ruled out, but seems highly unlikely); new Chinese crackdowns on other protests that may emerge (especially among the Uighur Muslim population) or revelations of new Chinese atrocities against the Uighurs or other minorities or other protesters; more attempted Chinese bullying of high-profile U.S. businesses like the National Basketball Association; a major flare-up of tensions over Taiwan or China's aggressive moves in the South China Sea; a step forward in the Huawei case that increases the chances that the CFO daughter of the founder of this Chinese telecommunications giant will be extradited to the United States from Canada for sanctions-busting; and Chinese moves that persuade Washington that Beijing has no intention of keeping its perceived agriculture or other promises.
Moreover, the longer China takes to ramp up its buys from American farmers, the greater the potential for these kinds of shocks to bring this "Phase One" agreement crashing down.
Fourth, the less impressive the "mini-deal" keeps looking, the more convincing my view that its apparent modesty reflects President Trump's belief that his domestic political position has weakened significantly – both because of the new impeachment threat and signs of an economic slowdown.
It's true that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has suggested that if the deal hasn't been finalized by December 15, the Trump administration will go ahead with a previously vowed 15 percent increase on $156 billion worth of levies on Chinese imports. But that's anything but a concrete threat. In addition, it's important to note this report suggesting (the specifics are really sloppily described) that China wants the sequencing to work in the opposite way: First, tariffs get rolled back (or frozen in place?), then the agriculture buys begin.
Moreover, no one in the administration has said anything about reversing its Phase One-related decision to suspend a big tariff increase (to up to a formidable 30 percent on some products) previously announced to begin on October 15. So even though U.S. duties on some $360 billion worth of Chinese goods would still remain in place if China blows Mr. Trump off, there's a real chance that Beijing won't incur any further punishment – doubtless because the President believes that tariffs above and beyond current levels and coverage could panic investors again and further soften economic growth.
Some kind of blow-up in Hong Kong or elsewhere could yet change Mr. Trump's calculations. But the more important point so far is that events, not the President, are now in charge of the trade talks track of his China policy.
Fifth, at the same time, none of the above means that the United States is devoid of leverage versus China and in particular the kind of clout that can keep advancing its economic as well as closely related technology and national security interests, and this is where a second, arguably more important, track of the Trump China policies needs to be remembered. As I've written, the President has sought not only to end the threat of China's economic predation by forcing Chinese policy changes through tariff pressure. Although he rarely speaks of it, he's also been trying to repel Chinese threats to U.S. security and prosperity through a series of unilateral measures aimed at decoupling the United States from China economically.
By crimping trade, investment, and technology flows, these decoupling steps are reducing America's vulnerability to China by significantly reducing the access to the U.S. market so crucial to the success of China's advanced industries; by shrinking the footprint of China's state-controlled economy in America's largely free market system; and by cutting off a Chinese tech sector that could be become highly dangerous from critical supplies of U.S. components.
Decoupling has also been advanced by those tariffs so far imposed on $360 billion worth of Chinese products (amounting to nearly 86 percent of all goods imports from China last year). They haven't done much to achieve their stated aim of improving China's behavior, but they have decreased China's importance to the U.S. economy by prompting an exodus of global manufacturing supply chains out of the People's Republic.
Further, the Trump decoupling campaign has also helped awaken many foreign governments to the China tech and broader economic threat – though because so many other countries (including major American treaty allies), were profiting so handsomely from the pre-Trump globalization status quo, progress on this front has been uneven and disappointing. (See here for why Germany, for example is so conflicted.)
Sixth and finally, one major set of actors in this drama, though, hasn't been very woke on China issues: most of the Democratic presidential candidates. Sure, many have supported a policy of "doing something" on China (though rarely involving tariffs – or any other concrete measures). But so far, none seems to view China's multi-dimensional challenge to America as a major concern – and all the top-tier contenders and most others now support impeaching the President.
Consequently, they could greatly strengthen not only Mr. Trump's position, but the American position, with firm declarations in tonight's debate that China will stay squarely in Washington's cross-hairs if they win the White House, and that therefore there's no point in stonewalling in hopes of easier post-2020 U.S. policies. Not that any confidence looks well founded that any of them will.

Q: Using jQuery to animate SVG color and scale on hover I have an icon that I made, and am trying to both change the color on hover, and have the white square scale 50% via origin top-left of it's current location.
So far I'm able to change the color and the scale of the square on hover in/out, but I can't wrap my head around animating it. Any help, friends?
My CodePen

A: I have added this css3 transition, to set the transition time for the scaling and background changing:
.logo-square, .logo-bg{
  transition: 0.7s;
}

And using this jQuery to scale the box: (since you are using jQuery. Note: You can do this in pure CSS using :hover selector)
$('.logo-square').css({
    '-webkit-transform': 'scale(0.6)',
    '-moz-transform': 'scale(0.6)',
    '-o-transform': 'scale(0.6)'
});

and (to revert back)
$('.logo-square').css({
    '-webkit-transform': 'scale(1)',
    '-moz-transform': 'scale(1)',
    '-o-transform': 'scale(1)'
});

using .css instead of .attr()
SAMPLE DEMO
UPDATE: You can use pure CSS to solve the problem, using the :hover selector
like this:
.logo-square, .logo-bg{
  transition: 0.7s;
}

.bm-logo:hover > .logo-square{
   -webkit-transform: scale(0.6);
    -moz-transform: scale(0.6);
    -o-transform: scale(0.6);
}

.bm-logo:hover > .logo-bg, .bm-logo:hover > .logo-square{
  fill: #b565a7;
}

55 Things About America You May Not Know
Is America the greatest nation on the planet? Before you answer that question, you might want to check out the statistics that I have shared in this article first. The reality is that the United States is in a deep state of decline, and it is getting harder to deny that fact with each passing day. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially we are a train wreck. Many that are "patriotic" attempt to put a happy face on our growing problems, but the truly patriotic thing to do is to admit just how bad things have gotten so that we can start finding solutions. If you truly love this country, then you should know that this nation needs a huge wake up call. We have abandoned the values and the principles that early Americans held so dear, and as a result our society is a giant mess. The following are 55 things about America that you may not know…
#1 We are supposed to have a government "of the people, by the people, for the people", but only 25 percent of all Americans know how long U.S. Senators are elected for (6 years), and only 20 percent of all Americans know how many U.S. senators there are.
#2 Americans spend more on health care per capita than anyone else in the world by far, and yet we only rank 35th in life expectancy.
#3 Only one state in the entire country has an obesity rate of under 20 percent. 11 states have an obesity rate of over 30 percent.
#4 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese. Mexico is #2.
#5 Back in 1962, only 13 percent of all Americans were obese, but it is being projected that 42 percent of all Americans could be obese by the year 2030.
#6 According to a new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 31 percent of all food in the United States gets wasted. In case you were wondering, that amounts to approximately 133 billion pounds of food a year.
#7 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a wide margin.
#8 In America, we even put 81-year-old women in prison for feeding the birds.
#9 According to a Newsweek survey taken a few years ago, 29 percent of all Americans could not even name the vice president.
#10 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#12 36 percent of Americans admit that they have yelled at a customer service agent during the past year.

#14 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.
#15 Right now, 29 percent of all Americans under the age of 35 are living with their parents.
#16 Average SAT scores have been falling for years, and the level of education that our kids are receiving in most of our public schools is a total joke.
#17 According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug. An astounding 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs.
#18 Americans spend more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs each year.

#25 America exports more weapons to other countries than anyone else in the world.
#26 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#36 America has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.
#37 100 years ago, 4.52 were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people.
#38 According to the Pew Research Center, only 51 percent of all American adults are currently married. Back in 1960, 72 percent of all adults in the United States were married.

#44 America has the highest STD infection rate in the entire industrialized world.
#45 According to the latest figures released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, there are 20 million new sexually-transmitted infections in the United States every single year, and Americans in the 15 to 24-year-old age range account for approximately 50 percent of those new sexually-transmitted infections.

#47 America produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#49 If you choose to be a "Constitutionalist" in America today, you may get labeled as a potential terrorist by the U.S. government.
#50 America has the largest national debt in the history of the world. Back in 1980, the U.S. national debt was less than one trillion dollars. Today, it is over 17 trillion dollars.
#51 According to the Congressional Budget Office, interest payments on the national debt will nearly quadruple over the next ten years.
#52 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.
#53 65 percent of Americans are dissatisfied "with the U.S. system of government and its effectiveness". That is the highest level of dissatisfaction that Gallup has ever recorded.

This Agreement governs Customer's use of SWS's services.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer's satisfaction of SWS's credit approval requirements, Stratos Web Solutions agrees to provide the Internet services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.
a. Fees: Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. Customer's billing cycle shall be a calendar month, or twelve calendar months as indicated on the Order. The first service fee shall include the fee for the first full billing cycle, and, depending on service(s) ordered, a setup fee. Stratos Web Solutions may require payment in full of the first fee before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes Stratos Web Solutions to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise Stratos Web Solutions will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on the 10th day following invoice date, but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.
Payments must be made in United States dollars, by credit card, debit card, or bank transfer via Dwolla. Payment of any invoice by credit/debit card authorizes Stratos Web Solutions to retain said credit/debit card on Customer's account for automatic payment of any due services, until Customer requests such credit/debit card information be removed, at which point Customer will be expected to pay by bank transfer. Customer is responsible for providing Stratos Web Solutions with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in email address, etc.) Stratos Web Solutions may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. Stratos Web Solutions may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay SWS's reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay SWS's reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.
b. Fee Increases: Missions Webhosting may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer at http://www.missionswebhosting.com/announcements.php of the new fees at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).
c. Taxes: At SWS's request Customer shall remit to Stratos Web Solutions all sales, VAT or similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but not in the nature of an income tax on Stratos Web Solutions), regardless of whether Stratos Web Solutions fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are provided. Customer will pay and indemnify and hold Stratos Web Solutions harmless from any and all taxes associated with or arising from Customer's use of the Services, including any penalties and interest and any costs associated with the collection or with holding thereof.
d. Early Termination: Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event Stratos Web Solutions terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for SWS's breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement.
e. Refunds: Customer acknowledges that all fees are non-refundable, and that any attempts to circumvent this policy, whether through credit card chargeback, threat of chargeback or other means, will result in immediate termination of all services, and re-assignment of all customer's domain names, if any, to Stratos Web Solutions.

Amendments to the AUP are effective on the earlier of SWS's notice to Customer that an amendment has been made, or the first day of any Renewal Term that begins subsequent to the amendment. Customer agrees to cooperate with SWS's reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the AUP. In the event of a dispute between Stratos Web Solutions and Customer regarding the interpretation of the AUP, SWS's commercially reasonable interpretation of the AUP shall govern.

The above code is giving me exception in the last line...please help

A: Geocoder.getFromLocationName() returns

a list of Address objects. Returns null or empty list if no matches were found or there is no backend service available.

You need to be prepared for an empty list to be returned. If the list is empty, get(0) will fail with an exception as you have noticed.

A: Before getting the result you must check if its size is greater than zero or not.
And You have asked for only one result. You can try with this : addressl = geocoder.getFromLocationName(location , 5);
This may yield result.


Sterling, IL (March 7, 2018) – CGH Medical Center is dedicated to providing exceptional care to all our patients. CGH broke ground today at 1315 Dixon Avenue, Rock Falls, IL the future home of the CGH Rock Falls Medical Center.
The new 7,000 square foot facility will provide our Rock Falls community members more convenient access to primary care services. It will accommodate four full-time primary care providers, and will feature a drop-off canopy and more adequate parking.
"This new facility will offer a better footprint for providing primary care services to residents in Rock Falls and our surrounding communities for many years to come," said Shane Brown, VP Physician Services & CGH Clinics.
Construction is expected to start this month (weather permitting) and the facility is expected to open by January 2019 with four providers.
CGH has been considering building a new larger facility, specifically designed for a medical clinic, for some time now. The current facility at 100 West 1st Street has been rented from the Peterson family since 2005 – an economical solution at that time. In order to better serve the Rock Falls community, the new facility has been in the works since April 2017 with final board approval in October of 2017.
During construction, primary care patients will still be seen at the current 100 West 1st Street location. Care is provided by pediatrician, Manorama Hermon, MD, FAAP and family medicine nurse practitioners Donna Cook, APN, NP-C, Toni Ikens, APN, FNP-BC and Jennifer Garriott, APN, FNP-BC.
CGH has 16 clinics throughout the Sauk Valley area in Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, Milledgeville, Morrison, Mt. Carroll, Polo, Prophetstown, Tampico and Walnut.
For more information on CGH Rock Falls Medical Center or to make an appointment at any of these locations, please call 815.625.4790 or visit www.cghmc.com/locations.


Power output on the Tourmalet (2010) – resolving discrepancies // Ferrari: "6.42 W/kg". Everyone else: "Less than 6 W/kg". Who is right?
Thanks everyone for the great discussion in response to the post yesterday looking at the climbing power output on the Col du Tourmalet. As if often the case, your responses make the comments section to the post is better than the post, so if you have to time, you might consider reading it here!
However, a short post today, because something came across our twitter account yesterday and today mentioning that Dr Michele Ferrari has estimated the power output on the climb and his values contract those presented here yesterday. I was going to post this in the comments section only, but I felt it worth putting out, since the disagreement is so large, and from such an 'infamous' source, that it demands attention.
So 6.4W/kg vs 5.9 W/kg? Ferrari's numbers demand scrutiny, because they're so different.
And to find an answer, let's take the guesswork out of this and look at the SRM data – this way, we don't have to assume the length, the vertical gain in height, or the gradient of the climb.
Now, let's look at Contador and Schleck over exactly the same 9.3km interval. Remember that they all started this part of the climb together, with Schleck's attack creating the time gaps.
So, the stats are the same as above, with the exception of the time. Horner concedes 1:46, and so therefore Schleck and Contador do the 9.3km in 26:50.
Climbing power output = 5.90 W/kg.
The only way to explain this discrepancy is if the climb has been mapped differently, so that Ferrari's gradient and the vertical change in height over the final 9km are completely different. Which is reality? You have to believe the SRM. Also, given that Horner is riding at 5.4W/kg, is it feasible that he "only" concedes 1:46 to guys supposedly riding a full 1 W/kg faster? No, it's not, and so Contador and Schleck cannot have been at that power output. And therefore, all Ferrari's assumptions and resultant calculations are doubtful.
Ferrari's observation can just as easily be explained by a reduction in the ability of riders to recover from one maximal effort to the next. We know that doping improves this ability enormously – it improves the ability to sustain high power outputs and relative intensities for longer, and it enables repeat bouts at higher intensities.
The same rider will not attack every day. The "cost" of attack prevents this.
The attacks themselves will be 'muted', at a lower power output.
I would argue that all three have happened, and not just in this Tour, but in the last two or three years, and in other 3-week races like this year's Giro. It's not only the 5% to 10% reduction in power that is telling, it's the way races have evolved. Look at Andy Schleck on the final climb – his hand was forced by the race situation – he had to attack early (9km to go is still later than some attacks back in the 90s and 2000s), and for his efforts, he and Contador paid so much that the chase group held them over the final 5km. Their maximum effort was not sustainable. And that's expected of physiology. Doping, on the other hand, would allow it.
So the point is that Ferrari has blamed the heat, but there is another possibility, which must be acknowledged. And sure, it's been hot. I would argue that France in summer is always hot, and some basic thermophysiology is that heat is far less an issue on the bike than in running. It's important, yes, but the thermal load produced by a temperature that is say 1 to 2 degrees higher than normal is not sufficient to produce these changes.

What is the Freedom of Information Act?
Access to Information includes all the information which the Trust is required to publish under the Information Commissioner's revised Model Publication Scheme. The Guidance to Information document identifies what information is available through the Scheme.
document GDPR Application Form for Health Records (58 KB)
The Freedom of Information Act and Amendment Act (2003) recognises that as a member of the public you have the right to know how public services, such as the NHS, are organised and run, how much they cost, and how you can make complaints if you wish to. You have the right to know what services are being provided, the targets that are being set, the standards of service that are expected, and the results achieved. Sometimes, we may not be able to provide information requested, but will explain the reasons why.
Requests for information should be made in writing to the Freedom of Information Officer, Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Charles Hastings Way, Worcester.
Requests can also be e-mailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Any questions, comments or complaints about Worcester Hospitals NHS Trust Publication Scheme should be sent to The Chief Executive's Office at the address above.
Re-use of Trust information
Trust information can be requested under the Freedom of Information Act, however, providing access to information does not give an automatic right to re-use it. 'Re-use' can include publishing information or issuing copies to the public. Examples might be private sector companies wanting to re-publish our documents on their website as part of a commercial service, or wanting to publish images in commercial publications.
The Public Sector Information Regulations provide a framework for public sector organisations to license the re-use of their information, including the possibility of levying charges for re-use.
When we release information to you which you have requested under access to information legislation (such as the Freedom of Information Act), you may ask if you can re-use the information, perhaps for commercial purposes. Without the necessary permission, you can breach our copyright. It is this situation with which the regulations are concerned.
Nothing in the regulations affects rights of access under other legislation, such as Freedom of Information.
We are not obliged under the regulations to make public sector information available for re-use, but if we do so, it must be done in accordance with the regulations. In these circumstances, the regulations place the following obligations on us:
We have 20 working days in which to respond to a request for re-use. This period may be extended where the request is extensive or complex.
A license fee can be issued if we do not wish re-use to be free
A license must not restrict competition
Exclusive licensing arrangements will not be allowed, except for the provision of a service in the public interest. Such arrangements will be published.
We should make available to the public our conditions for re-use and any standard charges for re-use.
Information for re-use should be made available electronically where possible and appropriate.
We must not discriminate between applicants making requests for re-use for comparable purposes.
The regulations do not affect our copyright. The supply of documents and information to you by us (for example under Freedom of Information and on our website) does not give you a right to re-use them in a way that would infringe that copyright.
Brief extracts of any material may be reproduced without our permission, under the 'fair dealing' provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988; for the purposes of research for non-commercial purposes; private study; criticism; review and news reporting - all subject to an acknowledgement of ourselves as the copyright owner. Wilder re-use requires our permission. This applies equally to any of the Trust's logos.
We may choose to allow re-use under a license, imposing conditions on the re-use of the information to ensure it is not used in a manner inconsistent with our copyright; and we may also decide to charge a re-use fee.
Charging Structure
Under Regulation 15(2) the Trust can charge sums for re-use that covers:
The cost of collection, production, reproduction and dissemination of information; and
A reasonable return on investment
Because of the potential diversity of requests we have taken the view that it is not reasonably practicable to publish standard charges, but in any case the charge will not exceed the total cost of collection, production, reproduction and dissemination of the requested information together with a reasonable return on investment.
You will be advised of any charge due to be paid and the terms of a specific License for Re-use for Commercial Purposes will be agreed. This license will be in line with the requirements of the Regulations and licensing terms and fees as laid down by the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI). Some licenses will be free; however the Trust reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to charge a fee for the re-use of information which it deems to be of commercial value.
In calculating a license fee the Trust will take into account the following:
The Trust's Intellectual property, i.e. information that has a commercial value. A charge for this would be determined on a case by case basis.
Charges for staff time. An hourly charge of £25 per hour will be made in respect of the staff time in making the information available to the applicant for re-use. However, this may be subject to change dependent upon the seniority of the member of staff required to process the request.
Charges for materials, photocopying or printing.
Disbursements i.e. postage and packing.
Applications to Re-use Trust Information
If you wish to submit a request to re-use our information please contact:
Rebecca O'Connor
Charles Hastings Way
WR5 1DD
Further information on re-using information
Guidance and more information can be found on the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) website: www.opsi.gov.uk/advice/psi-regulations/index.htm


Here are the last couple of week's worth of my DITC mixes… slacked up on the updates last week. Slapped wrists all round. Shouts to everyone who has gone nuts on the requests during the past couple of weeks – phones, twitter, facebook and text messages have really started blowing up during the show. Love it.

Home Cleveland Cavaliers Lakers Overcome Slow Start Against Cavaliers To Win Ninth Straight Game
Lakers Overcome Slow Start Against Cavaliers To Win Ninth Straight Game
Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers News: Robert Horry, Quinn Cook, Troy Daniels Attend 2020 California Strong Celebrity Softball Game
The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a slow start and blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers were aggressive in getting to the paint early as their first five field goals came next to the rim, giving them the early game lead. Meanwhile, Avery Bradley was able to shake loose on cuts for several easy layups, but the rest of the Lakers struggled to convert on their looks.
With Los Angeles playing a zone defense, Cleveland turned to Kevin Love who delivered as he knocked down a pair of jumpers including an open three. Kyle Kuzma was able to hit a buzzer-beating turnaround jumper to close the quarter, but the Lakers still found themselves down 27-21.
Los Angeles came out listless to start the second quarter as they allowed Cleveland to get to their spots on offense and go on a 7-0 run that prompted a quick timeout. Alex Caruso and Jared Dudley provided a much-needed spark, playing hard defense and hitting shots that narrowed the deficit.
With Rajon Rondo out of the lineup, Caruso picked up the playmaking duties off the bench as he was able to dish out some pretty assists to Dwight Howard and Danny Green. The team as a whole looked energized down the stretch and went into the locker room only down 48-47.
Los Angeles came out to start the third quarter with much more pace and energy, pushing the ball up the court and attacking Cleveland's defense before it could get set. LeBron James looked to finally get going, attacking the paint and distributing the ball to help give the Lakers a slim lead.
The Lakers defense picked up considerably midway through the period as they were able to force turnovers that ignited fast break opportunities that they capitalized on. Los Angeles bench, particularly Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, kept the momentum going and helped the team going into the final quarter up 84-70.
Howard served as the offense for the Lakers to start the fourth as the team was able to find him for dunks and lobs that extended the lead. Cleveland went on a 6-0 run to capture some momentum back, but James caught fire from the field and blew the game open for Los Angeles.

Q: set_value() default in CodeIgniter I've used formigniter to generate a form for CI. http://formigniter.org/
That bit works great. However I want to set a default value for the name field.
The input code looks like this:
Forename
<?php echo form_error('forename'); ?>

<input id="forename" type="text" name="forename" maxlength="255" value="<?php echo set_value('forename'); ?>"  />

and I'd want to add in the first name with $this->session->userdata('current_client');
Will it break my database insert if I just drop it into the set_value function?
Edit:
Sorry I don't think I was very clear there. I want the name field to be automatically filled in with the name from the session cookie.

A: As long as you're properly escaping input data before running the query, it shouldn't cause any problems. The set_value function just sets the value, the only benefit to using it is it simplifies setting the value to an already submitted value when redisplaying the form or showing a default value when the form has yet to be submitted.
This would use the session var as the default value for the form field:
<input id="forename" type="text" name="forename" maxlength="255" value="<?php echo set_value('forename', $this->session->userdata('current_client')); ?>"  />

A: Same case with I case
$data = array(
    'name' => 'qty_' . $i,
    'size'=>15,
    'id' => 'qty_' . $i,
    'required'=>'required',
    'class'=>'input-small',
    'value' => set_value('qty_' . $i),
    $restock_thirty
);

echo form_input($data);

A: In CodeIgniter, if generate an error in controller code suppose username unfilled then return an error but the page can refresh, then set_value can set that text box value
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username.." value="<?php echo set_value('username') ?>" class="form-control tx">


Vivian Greene once said, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass… It's about learning to dance in the rain." When I was a sophomore in college, I fell down some stairs and acquired a degenerative, bulging disc. As a fine arts major used to being physically active while making artwork, I suddenly faced a roadblock. What was once so much easier was now incredibly painful. I had seemingly hit a dead end. I became withdrawn, and as I limited my interactions with others, my depression took ahold of me. It wasn't until I decided I had to push myself, to go beyond my comfort zone and take on a heavier work load that things began to turn around. Not only did my mood improve, but I started to seek out new opportunities. Even though I still dealt with back pain from the fall, I decided that I needed to completely throw myself outside of my comfort zone.
After searching for different possibilities, I ended up at Colonial Williamsburg in the Weaving, Spinning, and Dyeing Shop. I didn't realize it until my experience there was mostly done, but the time I spent in Williamsburg gave me new confidence and made me stronger; it made me believe that my dream could come true… I just had to keep trying. As much as the work itself impacted me, the hour long commute had just as much of an influence on me. It gave me plenty of time to think and to listen attentively for God's word. The dream I had held for years was suddenly possible for me to achieve. Where I once thought that I had limitations on what I could do because of my health concerns, I started to believe that anything was possible.
Even through my battle with depression, I knew that I wanted to find a way to use my love of art and history to help others. I could not fathom doing something as a career that would not allow me to help others in some way. From that, Grace Wins Explorative Arts, LLC, emerged and with it, our mission: "We aim to use artbased programs grounded in a historical context to foster self-confidence, healing, a sense of purpose, historical exploration, and unending curiosity across various communities." Through art exploration, individuals can find a sense of peace and recovery of their wellbeing. While using art as a tool for healing is an essential part of what we seek to do, it is also imperative that the history behind these traditional arts is shared so that it is not forgotten and so this knowledge can further enrich participants' experiences. In essence, Grace Wins Explorative Arts aims to find a balance between the idea of art therapy, technical skill, and historical study so that education and healing may become one. There will always be challenges and setbacks but with strength of will, faith, and a determination to follow my dreams, I know that anything is possible.

The Canon de 65 M modele 1906 where M stands for "montagne", or briefly 65 mm Mle 1906 where "mle" stands for "modèle", was a French mountain gun which entered service with the régiments d'artillerie de montagne in 1906 and was one of the first soft-recoil guns in service. The carriage of the Mle 1906 was hinged and could be broken down into four mule loads for transport. By 1939, the weapon was generally used as an infantry support gun. After 1940, the Germans would use these as 6,5 cm GebK 221(f). The gun was also used by Israel (in 1948 Arab–Israeli War as Napoleonchik), Albania, Poland and Greece.

Combat history

France
During World War I the French Armée d'Orient used the Mle 1906 against the forces of the Central Powers in the mountains of Macedonia. There were 72 Mle 1906 guns in service in the Balkans theatre during the allied breakout from the Salonica bridgehead on September 15–29, 1918. The initial success of this allied offensive led Bulgaria to capitulate on October 9, 1918, later in October 1918 Serbia was liberated and lastly Austria-Hungary capitulated in November 1918 when faced with invasion from Italian forces from the south.

Still in service with the French Army in 1939-1940, a few were taken over by the Wehrmacht, as 6,5 cm Gebirgskanone 221 (f).

Israel
The Canon de 65 M (Montagne) Modèle 1906 was used by the Israel Defence Forces in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and was nicknamed Napoleonchik by the Israelis due to its old look.

The first use of two of these cannons, lacking sights, was made in the Battle of Degania in northern Israel, which was also the first time the Israeli side employed field artillery. Subsequent uses were made in numerous major operations in the war, including Operation Bin Nun and Operation Pleshet.
