Healthcare, as an industry, is entering a phase of rapid transformation.Digitization of products, services, and commerce models is democratizing current healthcare systems and unlocking new previously inaccessible segments.
The fundamental convergence of healthcare with IT and retail industry continues to shift eCommerce from simple search portals for buying products to the digital marketplace that provides personalized experience and informed purchase decision making.This is manifesting into a new era of healthcare consumerism; today hospital buyers and patients are equally expecting a retail-like buying experience.
Furthermore, as tech-savvy millennials are expected to overtake boomers, in terms of population, in 2019, eCommerce models with personalized UX/UI will be the preferred marketing channels for medical products and services.Entailing this, North America's healthcare eCommerce market for pharma drugs and medical devices is projected to cross $200 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 10% to 15%.
Frost & Sullivan defines healthcare electronic commerce (eCommerce) as "the application of communication and information-sharing technologies during the process of marketing, exchanging, servicing, buying, and selling of healthcare products, professional services, funds, and information over an electronic network, primarily by phone and Internet connectivity. It combines business and electronic infrastructure which allows traditional business transactions to be conducted electronically, ignoring the physical or geographic boundaries separating them".
Furthermore, it's critical to understand that, eCommerce is not a software or IT platform feature. It is an evolving ecosystem that digitally-led emerging business models such as servicization, amazonization, uberization, and shared-economy among others.
Trends in both, demand (cost and pricing pressures) and supply side (health consumerization), coupled with increasing competition from non-traditional participants (e.g., Amazon, Ali Health, Apple, and so on) are fuelling the adoption of eCommerce. This compels drug/device Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), wholesalers, GPOs, PBMs, distributors, and retailers to operate differently by leveraging on eCommerce to achieve much-needed operational efficiencies, standardize purchasing process, optimize supply chain inefficiencies, and improve end-user experience. Additionally, digital marketplace scalability provides drug/device companies the opportunity to differentiate with value-add services, such as free shipping, same-day delivery, online payment, product quality certificate, discounts, customer feedback on services, as well as the ability to connect 24x7, which is an important element in the overall buying experience. There is no one-size-fits-all eCommerce strategy for healthcare products. Drug and device OEMs and other supply chain participants should prioritize their eCommerce strategy based on the maturity of their buyers by using a suitable mix of available digital tools for educating, researching product information, and management of order and payment. Apart from drug/device types and purchase volumes, factors such as market positioning, target end user, and reimbursement play a critical role in eCommerce channel selection and success.
This research service analyzes the key trends and developments around healthcare eCommerce with specific focus on the eCommerce market for pharma drugs and medical devices in North America.

XII. 9-OS / Marcus Tullius Cicero [106 – 43 BC]
The Enduring Legacy of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Latin Genius whom opposed the Executive Brilliance of Caesar and the brutal violence of Marc Anthony and Augustus, paying the Ultimate Price for his Beliefs.
"Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves."
"The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt."
"A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?"
"Poor is the nation that has no heroes, but poorer still is the nation that having heroes, fails to remember and honor them."
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others.
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind.
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
"The good of the people is the greatest law."
"Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide."
"The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct."
"It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment."

"In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again…"
"In the various states of society, armies are recruited from very different motives. Barbarians are urged by the love of war; the citizens of a free republic may be prompted by a principle of duty; the subjects, or at least the nobles, of a monarchy, are animated by a sentiment of honor; but the timid and luxurious inhabitants of a declining empire must be allured into the service by the hopes of profit, or compelled by the dread of punishment."
"The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful."
"The principles of a free constitution are irrecoverably lost, when the legislative power is nominated by the executive."
The five telltale signs of Rome's decaying culture (and any culture for that matter):
1) Concern with displaying affluence instead of building wealth.
2) Obsession with sex and perversions of sex.
3) Widening disparity between very rich and very poor.
4) Increased demand to live off the state.
5) Art becomes irreverent and sensationalistic — more geared towards pleasure and lust — instead of being Profound, Nurtering and Original.

Strengthening Forest Governance in Côte d'Ivoire
This piece by Meerim Shakirova and Nalin Kishor was originally published by the Climate Investment Funds.
Improving governance is key to addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, and ensuring overall sustainable forest management. This is especially true in Côte d'Ivoire, where forest governance is complex and includes processes and institutions—formal and otherwise—through which government agencies, citizens, and other groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet obligations, and mediate differences.
The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and the Program on Forests (PROFOR) teamed up to help develop a governance assessment tool, which was used to evaluate Ivoirian forests according to 64 governance indicators. The findings were published in a new report, "Participatory forest governance assessment for Côte d'Ivoire," presented in early October 2019 in Abidjan.
The report was launched at an event co-organized by the Integrated Project Administration Unit (UIAP). More than fifty participants representing diverse stakeholders attended the event, including representatives from the Ministry of Water and the Environment, as well as civil society and business groups. Across sectors, there is a consensus that forests are essential to livelihoods, environmental services, climate change mitigation, and have social and cultural significance.
The assessment concluded that the policy, legal, institutional, and regulatory frameworks for the forest sector are generally robust, although there is room for improvement. In addition, it called for significant efforts to reform and strengthen national planning and decision-making processes as well as improve implementation, enforcement, and compliance with forest policy laws and regulations.
The publication made policy recommendations for strengthening governance, including through clearer benefit-sharing arrangements, inclusion of women in decisionmaking, and stronger cross-sector coordination.
The report identified five areas that warrant further strengthening. These are efforts to ensure that:
Forest development plans and budgets address the main drivers of deforestation and degradation
The law has specific provisions for sharing benefits from public forests with local communities
Provisions of the law protect the environmental and cultural contributions of forests
Women participate in forest-related decision-making
Field foresters have the capacity to properly oversee the areas assigned to them
The participants at the workshop agreed that the findings and recommendations of the governance assessment were useful for informing the design and implementation of concrete actions that strengthen forest governance in Côte d'Ivoire.
Improving forest governance for the forest sector presents significant challenges and requires continuous efforts and long-term engagement. This workshop represented another important step in the journey to strengthen forest governance for Côte d'Ivoire.

Wanda graduated from The University of Nottingham with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with honours. Her course of study had equipped her with a broad understanding of human behaviour across various fields of psychology such as developmental psychology, clinical psychology, cognitive psychology and developmental disorders. She is highly enthusiastic about her field of study and hopes to apply what she has learnt in her course to help individuals, particularly children, in need.
She completed a stint at a children's therapy clinic in Singapore, Therapy Inc. She assisted the directors of the clinic, Sheryl Lau and Joan Lim, who were in charge of speech therapies. She assisted for individual therapy sessions where she encountered children with various developmental difficulties, such as autism, dyslexia and motor speech disorders. Besides learning about the different tools used in speech therapy for children, Wanda also had the chance of interacting with some of the children, engaging them in different activities that helped to build their verbal communication skills. Wanda also had the opportunity to assist in occupational therapy sessions at Therapy Inc. She helped to conduct group therapy sessions, encouraging the development of children's motor skills.
Furthermore, Wanda also had the opportunity to undergo a research stint at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne. In her capacity as a Visiting Researcher, Wanda was part of a team that conducted a longitudinal study involving preterm babies. Along with her colleagues, she conducted psychological assessments on children of varying ages to better understand the causal effect of preterm birth on certain developmental disorders, such as autism and ADHD. She interacted with children as young as two years old and up to 11 years old. Besides administering assessments, Wanda also learnt about the different neurological bases of developmental disorders in preterm children. Her experience in Australia has enhanced her understanding in child psychology and fine-tuned her skills in interacting with children with special needs.
Wanda also possesses numerous prior experiences working with children in preschool settings. She has worked as an assistant teacher at preschools both in Singapore and in Indonesia, where she interacted and worked with infants aged 6 months up to 5 years old. Besides being involved in pre-nursery and nursery classes, Wanda was also involved in Speech and Drama classes for toddlers. Having witnessed reserved children bloom into confident speakers, Wanda was inspired to channel her expressive and interactive nature to help other children with their social skills. She understands that every child is different and she enjoys being able to interact with them in helping them unleash their full potential. Moreover, Wanda also has experience teaching private tuition, particularly in English and Mathematics. She found joy in discovering new ways to help her students solve problems and improve in their schoolwork.


Try working in an office. You need the coffee.
If you're stuck in a bunker with me, coffee just might be necessary for human survival.
Even in a monastery, coffee is considered a necessity. These are people who don;'t buy sodas, convenience foods, or anything else that is considered a luxury. But the coffee is non-negotiable.
I might be able to live without coffee, but any of y'all motherf*ckers coming near me without it wouldn't.
I can live without coffee - if it was replaced by beer.
But I'll bet them cocksuckers got cacoa beans stockpiled out the wazoo.
Try working in a crack flophouse, you need it.
Raoul Eaton: If you're stuck in a bunker with me, coffee just might be necessary for human survival.
I get why people need coffee, we live in a society where ever moment is utilised, often with tasks that are energy intensive. But WTF are you doing in a bunker that requires you to get up early or exert excessive energy? It's a bunker. If anything I specifically don't want someone bouncing off the walls with caffeine on top of the cabin fever.
tjsands1118: Raoul Eaton: If you're stuck in a bunker with me, coffee just might be necessary for human survival.
Mr. Shabooboo: tjsands1118: Raoul Eaton: If you're stuck in a bunker with me, coffee just might be necessary for human survival.
Anyone who has ever encountered someone before they had their coffee knows this.
Also, the jury is still out, but caffeine has been linked to improved mood and could even help with mild to moderate depression. I'd imagine that anything that can take the edge off of being locked inside a bunker for a considerable length of time would be considered "essential to survival"

Galati Family
© 2021 Christopher Long - Journalist & Editor
The Galati Family of Chios
This genealogy represents work and research over many years but is still far from complete. Posted here is all the publishable information available at present. Like all genealogies it contains inevitable errors and its accuracy cannot not always be relied upon.
The purpose of this work is not simply to gather names and dates! Its principal aim is to provide a background resource for the numerous histories, articles and image galleries featured elsewhere on this site. Hopefully it will also interest many of my 'cousins' searching for their roots at the main site:
http://www.christopherlong.co.uk
In compiling these genealogies I've had much help from official records and published sources, though predominantly I've relied on original family records and help from numerous 'cousins' and others, for which I'm most grateful. In particular George Vassiadis and Michael Agelasto have kindly given expert advice and information on many families of Phanariot and Hellenic origin. But my greatest thanks go to my wife Sarah without whose enthusiasm and relentless effort this project would not have been possible.
1. Names in curved (brackets) are patronymic - i.e. they identify the individual's father. This convention helps to distinguish the many individuals who bear similar or identical names. In fact the 'patronymic' name convention was customary among most of the Hellenic families concerned in these genealogies.
2. Names in square [brackets] indicate that the person's own family name at birth is not known and the name of the spouse or mother is being used instead for identification.
3. Three dashes '---' indicate that a male's first name is unknown; four dashes '----' indicate that a female's first name is unknown.
4. A name followed by the mark º indicates that the person was, or is, known to me, Christopher Long.
5. Names followed by a question mark '?' indicate that further research is needed. Two or more question marks '??' mean that the individual's identity may be unreliable.
6. A person's 'Origin' is usually derived from those claimed in official records and may not be literally true: e.g. many Chios diaspora families describe themselves as 'of Chios' even when born and/or brought up elsewhere.
7. References such as 'Uncle', 'GGG', '3C2R', etc., indicate an individual's relationship to the author, Christopher Long.
8. Where a unique identification code/number appears beside a name, this may change in future editions of this genealogy.
9. Dates may be based on either the Julian or Gregorian calendars (deoending on the source), resulting sometimes in anomalies of ±13 days.
10. Names in 'inverted commas' are those by which a person was usually known.
11. Very occasionally a name is followed by '!'. This indicates that although the individual is known to be a descendant of a family or branch, the precise person to whom they are connected cannot be proved. Such 'informed guesses' are only ever made on compelling circumstantial evidence.
12. The identities of some individuals have been 'excluded' from these records either at their own request or because they simply do not merit inclusion. They know who they are and why they've been excluded.
13. NB In these genealogies the spelling of certain names presents problems or anomalies. Many Hellenic families (e.g. those from Chios, the Phanar, Epirus, the Balkans, Bessarabia, the Aegean, the Black Sea, the Levant, and the Magreb) appear here in translation from various languages and alphabets. Where a name is originally 'Greek', even the Greek 'archaic' and 'demotic' forms do not agree on how it was or should be spelled! Wherever possible I provide the name by which the individual was/is commonly known, though in most cases we have only official records for reference and these come from numerous countries attempting to render Greek words into their own languages and alphabets across more than 500 years. Furthermore, most cosmopolitan Hellenic families were inveterate travellers, almost invariably adapting their names to the form used in the host country. Thus Zannis from Chios could be Ioannis in Constantinople, Jean in Marseilles, John in London, Gianni in Italy, Johann in Vienna and Ivan in Russia. To make matters more complicated, almost all these individuals were known by family nick-names or diminutives: e.g. Kostia for Constantine, Strati for Eustratios and Manoli for Emmanuel. To simplify matters I have standardised spelling to an approximation of what the name sounded like in the place and period concerned - except where the 'owner' appears to have had a clear preference. In other words the following are all variants of the same thing: Maria, Marie, Marietta, Marigo, Marika, Mariora, Marouko, Marouletta, Maroussa, Maroussaki, Mary, etc... as would be Vlasto, Vlastos, Vlastou, etc. In Greek and Slavic languages surnames generally have a male and female form (e.g. Vlasto/Vlastou). In order to avoid confusion (especially in searches) this genealogy almost always applies the male form.
I do hope visitors find this work interesting. Further reliable information, corrections or updates are always warmly welcomed at: <Editor@christopherlong.co.uk>.

Onyekachi Donatus Okonkwo or simply Tico (born 13 May 1982 in Aba, Nigeria) is a Nigerian football (soccer) midfielder who currently plays for South African side Mpumalanga Black Aces. His name, Onyekachi, means "Who is greater than his godly guarding?"[1]
1 Club career
Okonkwo was a member of Enyimba's winning side in the 2003 MTN CAF Champions League and 2004 MTN CAF Champions League finals.
During his two-year stay in South Africa he was arguably one of the club's most influential players even scoring the decisive goal against his former club Enyimba to lead the Johannesburg-based club Orlando Pirates to the 2006 MTN CAF Champions League semifinals..
Okonkwo caused a stir in Europe by signing a pre-contract agreement with German side FC Koln only to leave the club a week later to sign a four-year deal at Swiss side FC Zurich saying that he had only ever agreed to a one-week trial at the German team. Despite FC Koln's sporting director Klaus Horstmann threatening to take the matter to FIFA in order for him to fulfil his obligations to his side, Okonkwo says he did not breach any rules in moving to Switzerland. He joined Qatari side Al Kharitiyath in the summer of 2010.
On 26 June 2012 Okonkwo rejoined Orlando Pirates[2] and next year, on 12 July 2013, signed with local rivals Mpumalanga Black Aces.[3]
He won his first international cap for Nigeria in an 2008 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho in October 2006.

Albany's culture of corruption can no longer be ignored. Our goal should be not to purge a few bad actors, but to end the culture of corruption – for good. Political graft is more than immoral. It impoverishes us all. The costs of corruption are higher rents, higher taxes, underfunded schools, and crumbling subways.
For years, Paul Newell has been a leading voice for ethics and honesty in our state government. Long before the recent convictions, Newell was calling out Albany legislators for secret outside income and unregulated campaign contributions.
Eqaully important is a Democratic Party that is effective and free of lobbyist control.
Ban Lobbyists from Democratic Party Leadership: There is a role in the world for lobbyists, but it is not in the leadership of the Democratic Party. Rules must be changed at the County, State, and Federal levels returning the people's party to the people.
Outside Income Caps: Keep Albany honest with strict limits on outside income for legislators and other policymakers.
Publicly Funded Elections: Full funding of state elections – to make sure big developers, oil companies, and party bosses don't control our government.
Transparency and Accountability: Establish an open legislative process to end the corrupt rule of "Three Men in a Room" – and let all 20 million New Yorkers in on our state government.
Campaign Finance Reform: Close the LLC and "Housekeeping" loopholes, through which real estate developers and other special interest funnel unregulated contributions to political parties and our legislators.
Expand Voting Access: Make voting easier by establishing early voting, vote-by-mail, and same-day registration – maximizing participation in our political process.
Special Election Reform: Newell will fight to stop the backroom party bosses in all political parties from locking out New York voters.

Q: How to resolve the error as "500 internal server error" in Bot Framework Channel Emulator? I am working on Bot framework technology, recently Microsoft announced the new version (V3) of bot.
I was already developed bots using old version, now I am trying to upgrade my bots to newer version.
For that everything working fine but after published my bot into azure, then by using the publish URL I am trying to test in bot framework channel emulator (3.0.0.54) it gives always "500, internal server error".
But when I added skype channel to my bot then it will working fine.
Only the problem is when I am testing in bot framework channel emulator with Published URL of my bot application, then only I got the error as "Internal server error".
I think there may be problem with latest version bot framework channel emulator

A: *

*Please download the file from https://ngrok.com/download

*Unzip the file and use command prompt to run the below command

ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 9000

screenshot

*

*As seen in screenshot copy Forwarding URL with https and paste it in Emulator url

*Emulator port should be in 9000 and emulator Url should contain ngrok forwarding Https URL

Note :ngrok should be in running state .if your getting same 500 error while trying next time please start from step 1.
For more reference .https//docs.botframework.com/en-us/tools/bot-framework-emulator/#navtitle

A: I discovered that a single public method apart from Post in Controller makes Bot Framework throw 500 InternalServerError. Simply keep only private and public Post method in your Controller and that should fix it.

A: Druing the debugging, you just dont disable the appid and password, rather make them blank and rebuild the same , you will be able to debug via emulator
Keep like given below
Dont just disable the BotId,AppID, Password  rather make them blank like given below
<add key="BotId" value="" />
<add key="MicrosoftAppId" value="" />
<add key="MicrosoftAppPassword" value="" />

A: ngrok solution did not work for me. I just commented the botAuthentication and then it worked for me locally.
  //[BotAuthentication]
    public class MessagesController : ApiController
    {

A: They just released an updated version of the framework (3.0.1) that addressed a few issues introduced with 3.0.0.  Try updating to 3.0.1 and see if that will solve your issue (it fixed mine).
source
You may also need to follow this tutorial and use ngrok to allow you to access your published chatbot from the emulator.  There is a screenshot in that tutorial that shows the BotId being used in the emulator, its not required so you can omit it.

A: The developer posted an answer on this thread.
Basically you can type 'disable' to disable AppId/AppPassword

A: It seems that if you deploy your bot to the cloud and try to test it from the emulator it will give this error.
The emulator seemed to work in 2 cases:
1- Localhost with security disabled (remove appid and app password)
2- localhost with security enabled (add appid and app password)
both endpoints via http only because it's localhost. If you deploy to the cloud you can test it in the emulator available on the Bot Portal. Make sure the endpoint for the hosted bot is https enabled.
I followed the steps in this troubleshoot guide and it fixed it for me: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/troubleshoot-authentication-problems
I didn't understand what actually caused the problem though. What I noticed was: desktop emulator works with localhost only.

Living vicariously through the journeys of my colleagues working in the midsts of the war I feel the pain and the joys of being the witness to traumas of past tragedies, present struggles, the gifts of nurturing, and the steps of healing. The Divine Spirit moves so gracefully through those with good intentions, compassion and love for humanity. United in the spirit of making good differences in the World we see the fascinating marriage between humanitarians and The Universe being so beautiful

UKRAINE WAR, THE EYES OF REFUGEES REVIEWS
"It is moving and disturbing. There is an accumulated sense of heartbreak under the natural instinct of playfulness of these children. Hearing the children sing the national anthem for their broken country is incredibly moving. Knowing they are singing their pride for a place that has so many cities and monuments and lives, literally blasted into complete oblivion."
"North Americans have been spoon fed the Hollywood version of war for decades. Everyone here knows that there are award winning set designers creating the ruins of war with special effects. But to see the genuine, bleak aftermath of the generational, military insanity of the Russian leadership is actually sickening."
"You've done a great job here. And you've left me wondering even more about the future of these children, and other war survivors. What mental health support they will need in the years to come. How will they ever be reunited with the fathers and older brothers? When will Ukraine be free from Russian bullying, or will Russia try this again in another couple of decades…?"
UK Film Review, Jason Knight film Critic.
"On the 24 of February 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, marking the beginning of a terrible, ongoing invasion that has caused millions of Ukrainians to leave their country. This short documentary examines the struggles of the Ukrainian refugees and the efforts by various organisations to help them.
Much of the footage was shot at refugee camps in Romania. A variety of individuals are interviewed, including Captain Alin Galeata, refugee Victoria Skrypka, Daniel Denes and several refugees and their children.
Galeata works for the Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations and gives the audience a tour around a refugee camp, showing the facilities and explaining the procedures and how the refugees are assisted. Denes does humanitarian work and provides food and other products to the displaced people. By seeing what these two individuals are doing and the effectiveness of the refugee camps, one can understand the great efforts that are being done in order to help the refugees.
A few refugees and their children are interviewed while they are staying at a camp. They talk about who they are, how the war has affected their lives and how they try to cope. Listening to their stories is quite moving and reveals how wars destroy lives.
A lot of emphasis is placed on the children in the refugee camps. Apart from speaking about their experiences with the conflict, they are seen playing with each other and having fun. Although their lives have been significantly changed by the invasion, they appear to maintain positivity and happiness.
'War is not healthy for children and other living things' is a statement that is uttered by some interviewees and by being repeated throughout the film, it becomes apparent that the documentary is sending support to the refugee children and defying war.
Journalist Mark L. Owen provides voice-over and does a great job. Sultan Alkazmi creates a powerful score that adds significant value.
This interesting, informative and dramatic documentary provides an insight into how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has turned people into refugees and the generous efforts that are being done to help them. It shows support for the refugees, their children and the people who help them. It contains messages that oppose warfare and suggests that determination, courage, unity, support and generosity can keep people strong even during very harsh times."

Karen Beardsley August 31, 1938 – January 23, 2018
Posted by Special to the MLN | Feb 6, 2018 | Obituaries, Slider, Top Stories | 2
Karen Kathryn Keller was born August 31, 1938 in Alexandria, Nebraska to Fred and Marcella Keller. She passed from this earth on January 23, 2018 after a more than 40 year battle with Crohn's disease.
She married Gary Bearsdley on Oct. 14, 1958.
Together they raised four sons, Shawn, Thane, Sean and Tracy.
Moving every few years to follow Gary's career as a Marine was the beginning of Karen's wanderlust.
They travelled the world after his retirement in 1979. Visiting Russia, Amsterdam and often grabbing a Space A flight to Hawaii for dinners that lasted several days.
Karen enjoyed traveling on the cargo planes with the troops and told many tales of the interesting people she met.
Along the way she enjoyed careers at the IRS and as a copy editor at McGraw-Hill.
The Beardsley's settled in Mesquite in 1998. Never one to remain idle Karen was one of the early members of the Virgin Valley Artists Association.
She was the driving force in establishing and developing the Mesquite League of Women's Voters.
Karen spent many years as a board member and public liaison for the Mesquite-Toes.
Serving her community in many areas, she had a passion for politics and volunteered to coach 'We the People', a program teaching fifth graders about the constitution and prepare high school seniors for We the People Foundation annual competition in Las Vegas.
She was a frequent volunteer for the Mesquite Long Drive and enjoyed being outdoors and meeting people from around the world.
Karen ran for City Council in 2005.
Was an active member in the Mesquite Exchange Club and helped to put together the successful dinner and auction Mesquite Mardi Gras Madness.
She served on the committee that wrote Mesquite's City Charter in 2016, along with many other boards and committees.
Even as life started to throw curve balls, Karen's activism and desire to help never faltered. Gary lived the final days of his life at the Southern Utah Veteran's Home in Ivins, UT. There Karen helped to establish a support group for spouses of Veterans with dementia and other terminal illnesses.
She is well known as a caring, compassionate force to be reckoned with.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Gary and their oldest son Shawn.
She leaves behind, her three younger sons and daughter-in-law, Thane Beardsley, of Colorado, Sean and Pernella Beardsley, of Hawaii, and Tracy Beardsley, of Colorado.
She also leaves two brothers whom she adored, Ted and Lisa Keller of Florida and Richard Keller and his partner Sarkis Sarkissian of California. And a half brother, Jack Keller of CO.
Grandsons Shawn, Jeremiah and Anthony Beardsley, granddaughters Shani, Xoe and Troy of Colorado Springs, CO., and two great-grandsons, Owen and Tyler of CO.
One niece LaTroy and Monty Kyle of Fruita, CO, and one nephew Rod and Dawn Keller of Boulder City, NV.She also leaves three aunts and 13 cousins.
She will be dearly missed by a community who will long remember her intelligence, her sense of humor and her dedication to her many friends and activities.
Her ashes will be interred at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City, NV along side her husband.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 17 at 10 a.m. at

So sorry to hear about Karen. She was a wonderful person
who I enjoyed very much. We were truly blessed to have Karen as part of our community!
Vicki Eckman on February 8, 2018 at 7:48 am
Karen was a perfect example of what "a positive force in the community" looks like. She will be missed by many, including the members of the Mesquite-Toes, who were honored to have her serve on their BOD as community liaison. I am also blessed to have considered her my friend.

Delays in GM authorisation costing EU livestock sector 2,500 million Euros
Delays in authorizing GM traits in feed and a zero tolerance on non-authorized material has accounted for about 15% of the losses incurred by the EU livestock sector - and matters will only get worse
Delays in authorizing GM traits in feed and a zero tolerance on non-authorized material has accounted for about 15% of the losses incurred by the EU livestock sector - some 2,500 million Euros in the past year, according to a report sent to European Commission President, Dr José Manuel Barroso.
The case study report, prepared by COCERAL, FEFAC and UECBV with UK input from the Agricultural Industries Confederation, recognises that the poor harvest in 2007 was a key problem, but the inability to import feedstuffs from around the world also had a significant impact. New GM maize varieties have been approved and grown elsewhere in the world, but are not yet approved in the EU.
"Zero tolerance on new GM unapproved EU varieties has practically stopped the import of maize gluten feed and Corn Distillers," said Tony Bell, Chairman of AIC's Feed Executive. "These are both valuable feed ingredients, especially in a year of shortages."
Looking forward, the report predicts that that matters will get worse as new GM soya varieties, grown for seed multiplication in 2008, will be commercialised in 2009. These new varieties show significant benefits, especially higher yields, and so will be rapidly taken up by farmers in North and South America. It is vital these new GM varieties are approved by the EU otherwise soya supplies will be severely curtailed.
"Soya supplies are critical to the EU livestock industry," added Mr Bell. "There are real dangers that our livestock industry will be destroyed due to lack of raw material supplies. Soya products are a vital protein component of animal feeds. Overall the EU is 78% dependent on imported vegetable proteins and options to replace soya are very limited either from domestic production or alternative imported products."
Finding GM-free soya beans is increasingly difficult. Crops in Argentina and USA are already 95-97% GM, while Brazil is heading for 80%. Thus, technically unavoidable residues with these new GM varieties will be found in the non-GM soya as well as in GM supplies. So buying non-GM soya would not help in this difficult situation.
"A zero tolerance of non-authorised GM traits would severely restrict soya imports as shippers will not take the risk," said Mr Bell. "In fact it is not just one GM variety that needs to be approved, there are over 70 new traits in the pipeline. These are bringing new benefits to growers and consumers such as elevated levels of omega 3 as well as other agronomic traits such as drought resistance."
Looking ahead to the marketing year 2008/2009, the report confirms earlier estimates that the EU livestock industry could face a massive loss of competitiveness. As EU livestock production declines, then imports will increase.
"Ironically these imports would have been fed these 'non-approved' GM products," points out Mr Bell. "Therefore, the EU has to take a practical view and implement a workable threshold for GM events. It also needs to implement a speedier process for approvals for new GM varieties that are being grown elsewhere in the world."
Recently, the EU Advisory Group 'cereals, oilseeds and protein crops' concluded that: "The Zero-tolerance policy is impossible to implement . it has led to de facto import bans. The situation is likely to worsen as more and more countries are growing GMO's worldwide regardless of the approval process of the EU."
In September, the advisory group adopted a motion calling for the creation of an immediate workable threshold for low-level presence of RR2 soybeans and the creation of a general workable threshold of EU not yet authorised GM events, duly authorised in the exporting countries.

Ooh, Six Impossible Things was delightful. I had read the companion novel, Wildlife, which was published first in the US, so I thought I would like this. I was right! Six Impossible Things can be read as a standalone, but IF you plan to read Wildlife, I would read this one first, as it was originally published in Australia, because there are some developments in Wildlife that give some things away. Also, Wildlife is much more serious overall in my opinion, though I wouldn't call Six Impossible Things light and fluffy. There's a lot going on.
Six Impossible Things follows Dan, who is so realistically awkward and endearingly earnest. Six Impossible Things is one of the youngest-skewing YA contemporary books I've read — Dan is fourteen at the beginning of the book and turns fifteen during it. Dan and his mom have fallen on hard times. His dad's ruined the family income and come out and left. It's a lot for any fourteen-year-old to handle. Dan comes up with a list of "six impossible things" he's trying to tackle to make it through the year. These goals are used as a framing device, but the real story is about Dan's new life. It's a coming of age story, sure, but there's also a classic YA contemporary feel to it.
Six Impossible Things is an incredibly character-driven book. In many ways, it is very much a slice-of-life book. Dan deals with having a crush, dealing with a bully, and trying to get a job. On the surface it's nothing special, but there's something about the way that Wood writes Dan that is just so earnest. Even when you shake your head at some of his choices(because he's fourteen/fifteen, of course he's going to make some bad decisions), you still find yourself rooting for him.
I kept finding myself thinking about Dan's age. He's one of the younger protagonist in YA. Most seem to be about sixteen/seventeen-year-olds, and I think that strongly influences the way his character is written. As much as I loved the book, there were some awkward moments, because fourteen tends to be a pretty awkward age. Six Impossible Things is definitely YA and not MG, but I think it has a lot of cross-over appeal for MG readers looking to age up a bit.
A lovely book about an awkward, but wonderful boy in some tough circumstances. Despite the rather dire circumstances Dan is in, the book never loses hope or that spark of charm that hooked me from the first chapter. If you like contemporary YA, this should be on your TBR. 4/5 cupcakes.

                         KEY_ROWID + "=" + rowId, null) > 0;
    }
}

And then I try to use the database in my ViewJobs.java class
DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this);
        db.open();
        long id;
        id = db.insertJob(
                "PROP121",
                "MARK ANDREWS DRIVE",
                "JOB32",
                "COLIN",
                "SAB",
                "12/4/13",
                "yes",
                "yes",
                "SHIT IS EVERYWHERE");
        id = db.insertJob(
                "PROP122",
                "FAULTY CLOSE",
                "JOB33",
                "DAVE",
                "SAB",
                "13/4/13",
                "yes",
                "yes",
                "FIX PLEASE");
        db.close();
        Toast.makeText(this, Long.toString(id), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Toast outputs -1 which tells me there has been an error with inputting the data but I can't find where I've gone wrong.
If I just ignore the error and continue on with the following code then my application crashes.
db.open();
        Cursor c = db.getAllJobs();
        db.close();

I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any advice!

A: You probably added the jobs table after creating the database. The onCreate would not be called. So you need to clear the data for the onCreate to be called again.

Review of the Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon
Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Zetter's book engages in a heroic effort to summarize, describe, and explain the significance of the NSA's and Israel's first 'cyber weapon', named Stuxnet. This piece of malware was used to disrupt the production of nuclear material in Iran as part of broader covert efforts to delimit the country's ability to construct a nuclear weapon.
Multiple versions of Stuxnet were created, as were a series of complementary or derivative malware species with names such as Duqu and Flame. In all cases the malware was unusually sophisticated and relied on chains of exploits or novel techniques that advanced certain capabilities from academic theory to implementable practice. The reliance on zero-day vulnerabilities, or those for which no patches are available, combined with deliberate efforts to subvert the Windows Update system as well as use fraudulently signed digital certificates, bear the hallmarks of developers being willing to compromise global security for the sake of a specific American-Israeli malware campaign. In effect, the decision to leave the world's computers vulnerable to the exploits used in the creation of Stuxnet demonstrate that offence was prioritized over defence by the respective governments and their signals intelligence agencies which authored the malware.
The book regales the reader with any number of politically sensitive tidbits of information: the CIA was responsible for providing some information on Iran's nuclear ambitions to the IAEA, Russian antivirus researchers were monitored by Israeli (and perhaps other nations') spies, historically the CIA and renown physicists planted false stories in Nature, the formal recognition as cyberspace as the fifth domain of battle in 2010 was merely formal recognition of work that had been ongoing for a decade prior, the shift to a wildly propagating version of Stuxnet likely followed after close access operations were no longer possible and the flagrancy of the propagation was likely an error, amongst many other bits of information.
Zetter spends a significant amount of time unpacking the ways in which the United States government determines if a vulnerability should be secretly retained for government use as part of a vulnerabilities equities process. Representatives from the Department of Homeland Security who were quoted in the book noted that they had never received information from the National Security Agency of a vulnerability and, moreover, that in cases where the Agency was already exploiting a reported vulnerability it was unlikely that disclosure would happen after entering the vulnerability into the equities process. As noted by any number of people in the course of the book, the failure by the United States (and other Western governments) to clearly explain their vulnerabilities disclosure processes, or the manners in which they would respond to a cyber attack, leaves unsettled the norms of digital security as well as leaves unanswered the norms and policies concerning when (and how) a state will respond to cyber attacks. To date these issues remain as murky as when the book was published in 2014.
The Countdown to Zero Day, in many respects, serves to collate a large volume of information that has otherwise existed in the public sphere. It draws in interviews, past technical and policy reports, and a vast quantity of news reports. But more than just collating materials it also explains the meanings of them, draws links between them that had not previously been made in such clear or straightforward fashions, and explains the broader implications of the United States' and Israel's actions. Further, the details of the book render (more) transparent how anti-virus companies and malware researchers conduct their work, as well as the threats to that work in an era when a piece of malware could be used by a criminal enterprise or a major nation-state actor with a habit of proactively working to silence researchers. The book remains an important landmark in the history of security journalism, cybersecurity, and the politics of cybersecurity. I would heartily recommend it to a layperson and expert alike.
