The patellofemoral joint is made of the patella (e.g., kneecap) and femur (e.g., thighbone). The kneecap glides up and down along a groove in the front of the thighbone, helping the quadriceps muscles to bend and straighten the leg. Patellofemoral pain—sometimes referred to as "Runner's Knee"—occurs with overuse or heavy stress to the knee joint. Injury is especially likely during sports, but may also occur after years of wear-and-tear. This chronic wear-and-tear can eventually cause the cartilage to soften and break down, a condition identified as chondromalacia.
You may experience dull, aching pain around the front of the kneecap, where it connects to the lower end of the thighbone (e.g., the femur). The pain may worsen when going up or down stairs, squatting or kneeling.
If you're experiencing pain or a dull aching in one or both knees, Dr. Robert A. Kayal and his elite team of NJ orthopaedic surgeons will assess your injury and pinpoint the source of your symptoms.
Treatment of patellofemoral pain depends on the underlying cause. The most important way to improve your condition is rest, rehabilitation or knee bracing. It is important to modify activity. Keeping the knee as straight as possible can help relieve underlying irritation. Physical therapy can help to strengthen the quadriceps muscle and allow your kneecap to track properly. In some cases, surgery can correct the underlying condition and improve support to the knee. Arthroscopy, which involves the use of a small, pencil-sized camera, can be used to smooth fragments of kneecap cartilage. Realigning the kneecap is also an alternative, and this is done by opening the knee and reducing the abnormal pressures on the cartilage.

Q: C++: How do I print to ostream on both a file and the console within the same method where a file is being passed as an ostream object void method(std::ostream &output){
     cout << "some text";
}

int main(){
      method(std::cout);
}

This gets added to my file when I run my program like this
     ./program arg > file.txt
How can I run this program so that this prints out to the file but also has separate printing for the console?

A: The easiest (non-)answer is not to bother inside your own program, but instead use a dedicated tool like tee:
./program arg | tee file.txt

If you want something finer-grained, you'll need to build in some equivalent logic into your program, e.g. using Boost tee.

On a Design-build Procurement, a Bidder was Rejected because One of its Key Personnel Participated in the Earlier Preparation of the Bridging Documents
by Kent Holland | Jan 30, 2014 | Newsletter Article | 0 comments
The New Jersey Schools Development Authority rejected, as nonresponsive, a bidder's technical proposal on a design-build contract for a new school because a key team member of the bidder (the Project Architect) was involved in the previous development of the design bridging documents. The bidder touted this fact in its proposal by stating: "[this] involvement allows the SSP team to utilize the most up-to-date information regarding the Project's design as he was responsible for preparing the bridging documents … while employed with the Authority." The Authority disqualified the individual because of his previous involvement and thus precluded his involvement as the proposed project architect for the design-builder. Substitution of this key individual was not permitted, since, the Authority concluded, "neither the RFP, nor applicable laws government procurement of professional services, permit [Offeror's] identification of a substitute Project Architect after the deadline for submission of Technical Proposals and Price Proposals." Patock Construction Co. v. New Jersey Schools Development Authority (N.J. Superior Ct., App. Div., January 2010 – unpublished decision).
The Offer protested the Authority's decision, and in response the Authority granted an informal hearing and reviewed the issues and issued a second written decision – still rejecting the Offeror's proposal as being nonresponsive because of the substantial involvement of its project architect in the preparation of the bridging documents. In its second decision the Authority explained that the individual's involvement as a Key Team Member did not specifically disqualify his firm as the design consultant, but nevertheless, the design-builder could not cure the deficiency by substituting another Project Architect because that "would be 'manifestly unfair' to the other bidders, and render the procurement process 'unwieldy, untimely and difficult, in not impossible, to manage.'" The court affirmed the Authority's decision.

Q: CakePHP - Most efficient deep check I have a very deep association in Cake:
User
---- Garage
---- ---- Vehicle
---- ---- ---- VehicleAlbum

What is the best way to check if a VehicleAlbum belongs to a user?
Because doing a recursive 3 is very expensive. I have looked into contain, is this the best solution?
Thanks, Josh.

A: There is no such thing as recursive 3 (see book).
Nor can you use Containable to limit your find results based on a child condition (see reasoning).
I assume you'll want to do something like this (starting with Garage to reduce one query needed, since it has the user id as a field):
$this->Garage->find('all', array(
    'conditions' => array(
        'Garage.user_id' => $userId
    ),
    'joins' => array(
        array(
            'table' => 'vehicles',
            'alias' => 'Vehicle',
            'type' => 'inner',
            'conditions' => array(
                'Vehicle.garage_id = Garage.id'
            )
        ),
        array(
            'table' => 'vehicle_albums',
            'alias' => 'VehicleAlbum',
            'type' => 'inner',
            'conditions' => array(
                'VehicleAlbum.vehicle_id = Vehicle.id',
                'VehicleAlbum.id' => $vehicleAlbumId
            )
        )
    )
));

Should return result(s) if it is the owner or empty if not.

A: No it will not be expensive until unless you are making a wrong query. Well write a query and join all the four tables and run explain...then check whether it is expensive or cheap. One more thing in your case if these tables are connected as shown above then you have to pay for the join query there is no other way out except changing your relations between the tables.

Was Attack on Guatemala Mayor Linked to Drug Trafficking?
EL SALVADOR / 21 OCT 2014 BY DAVID GAGNE EN
A mayor from a Guatemala town located along a major drug route was attacked while visiting a border town in El Salvador, raising questions about who was behind the incident and why.
On October 19, a mayor in Guatemala's Chiquimula province, Juan Antonio Vanegas Hernandez, was shot while visiting the city of Metapan in El Salvador, reported Prensa Libre. According to police, Vanegas received a bullet wound in the neck, while a man accompanying the mayor was killed in the attack, reported La Prensa Grafica.
Chiquimula -- which borders both Honduras and El Salvador -- is an important drug hub, as shown in a map of Guatemalan drug trafficking routes published by Prensa Libre (see below), which shows a route passing through the province. The map identifies nine other drug trafficking routes, which start in either Honduras, El Salvador, or Belize and pass through Guatemala en route to Mexico.
According to elPeriodico, Vanegas is also allegedly tied to Jose Manuel Lopez Morales, alias "El Che", who is wanted for drug trafficking in Guatemala, Honduras, and the United States in connection with Honduras' Valle Valle drug clan. On September 27, Lopez Morales' wife was captured in Chiquimula in an operation involving the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The fact the mayor was from Chiquimula province, coupled with allegations he has drug trafficking ties, indicates the attack was likely not random. Chiquimula is a major transit point for drug and contraband smuggling, which is facilitated by the existence of hundreds of "puntos ciegos" (unguarded border crossings) along the border with Honduras. It also has a homicide rate more than double the national rate.
For years, Guatemala has struggled with the influence wielded by criminal groups in the country's government. As reported by InSight Crime, corruption in Guatemala, especially within the judicial system, has essentially turned the country into a mafia state.
SEE ALSO: Guatemala News and Profiles
The same toxic mix of politics and organized crime exists in the rest of the Northern Triangle region (formed by Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador). The Salvadoran city of Metapan, where the mayor was shot, also has a significant drug trafficking presence. The Texis Cartel -- which transports cocaine for Colombian and Mexican organizations -- uses the city as its primary base of operations, where it relies on the support of Salvadoran officials including Metapan's mayor, who is allegedly among the leaders of the criminal group. Meanwhile, the mayor of El Paraiso, the former operational center of the Valle Valle clan in Honduras, is accused of protecting the group and even running his own operations.

The Edge of the World
On Tuesday I got in the car with my dad and took a 6 hour drive out to Provincetown, Massachusetts.
After we arrived, we took a twilight walk over to where Mary Oliver lived, there was a small grocery store about a block away from her house.
An interesting thing about Provincetown is that its at the very tip of the spiral peninsula of Massachusettes, the geographical location has a poetic quality to it, and I was reminded of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty when I looked up where Provincetown is on the map.
Provincetown culture, I discovered quickly upon arrival, is almost exclusively gay. It is also very wealthy. Which makes sense geographically; that a group of people who don't feel comfortable in a heterosexual society and can afford it, would move out to the edge of the map and form a safe zone.
The landscape itself, however, was the real reason for traveling. I wanted to survey the land of the ponds and the House of Light that inspired Mary Oliver's poetry.
Due to Covid, there was almost no one around at the natural destinations, it felt very apocalyptic.
The landscape itself also had a devastated quality to it. Mostly sand, the plants that grew were all of a desert-nature, hardy and resilient. Which is a particular type of beauty.
Around the ponds the green became more green. We saw a black snake moving toward Black Water pond, and black birds too. Around the ponds the life increased, and then moving away from a pond the natural life would transition back to a desert-quality.
We walked about 9 miles through the landscape, stopped on a bed of pine needles and ate PBJs and protein shakes and then kept walking. We eventually made our way out to Race Point beach, where there was huge dunes and a wide beach and an ocean that seemed to wrap all the way around us. My dad jumped in the ocean and I laid on the beach in pants and got hives on my very pale skin from the sun.
We drove back to the air bnb and showered and reset and then made our way out to the Breakwater Jetty, that goes out to the edge of the peninsula, which is also where the Pilgrims first landed on this continent. Which felt somehow a strange place to be at this moment in history.
At this point I was somewhat aware that I was looking for a secret entrance to Heaven.
There were very few people out on the jetty, and as we got further out, there were less and less.
We finally made it to the beach, the jetty is probably a mile or two long. There was no one anywhere. My dad said if I wanted to make it to a lighthouse I was on my own, he was going to save his body, and he sat in the sand. I sat for a minute and decided I had come this far and that I should make it to the lighthouse, so I started walking.
Along the shore were stones; I got lost staring at the stones, I started filling my pockets with ones I had particular fondness for. Staring at the glistening stones and walking became a slightly mind-altering experience, and at some point, I think feeling my own delight, I said outloud in a whisper, I think I'm in Heaven. A few more steps and I remembered the light house and I looked up and I was there.
So i walked up the beach to the lighthouse. There was the strangest sense of both presence and absence. I walked to the back of the lighthouse and balanced a few stones as an offering. Then I walked to the front, and noticed that there was a few stones balancing that resembled what I had just made, which felt strange, like an inter-dimensional echo.
On the front of the lighthouse there was a window with thick squares of glass, shielded by iron bars that had rusted and made a beautiful orange painting with decades of rainwater. At the foot of the window, grown out of the rusty rainwater, were wild white roses.
I said a prayer and returned in silence, found my dad laying in the sand. The tide was going out. We walked back over the jetty as the sun set and returned to the world.

Schneider Electric Graduate Engineer Nicole Tang recently started at ASC's deep maintenance operations at the Osborne Naval Shipyard precinct in Adelaide.
"ASC graduate engineers will have the fantastic opportunity to gain vital commercial experience with Schneider Electric — one of the world's leading electrical equipment designers and manufacturers," said Whiley.
In the longer-term, both ASC and Schneider Electric see the exchange of graduates as a significant step to growing Australia's submarine engineering capability through the development of professional networks and shared experience.
"It is through collaborations like this one, with Schneider Electric, that ASC will grow Australian industry's capacity to meet our sovereign submarine requirements in coming decades, across both Collins Class and Future Submarines," continued Whiley.
The companies said the collaboration was aimed at achieving a future strategic support agreement between the two companies, strengthening long-term planning and support of Collins Class sustainment and leveraging their expertise in support of allied segments, industries and future programs.

Hot Embossing Lithography (HEL) is a Nano Imprint Lithography (NIL) method using controlled temperature and pressure during the imprint process.
It permits to replicate patterns which dimensions can be as small as few tens or hundreds of nanometers.
Unless the substrate is itself a thermoplastic material, such as polycarbonate for instance, it is coated with the hot embossing material (thermoplastic resist or polymer) using spin coater.
The stamp is aligned to the substrate. The accuracy requirement varies with the application. For some single or first level application, there is no need for alignment: a rough pre-alignment can be sufficient.
To transfer the stamp patterns into the material, the stamp and the substrate are heated above the glass transition temperature of the resist material to soften it and to minimize the force required for the material to flow into the stamp cavities.
After the pattern is imprinted into the material (pattern transfer), the temperature of the substrate and the stamp return below the Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of the material, the stamp is separated from the imprinted material layer which retains the features transferred from the stamp patterns.

Emerging from neighborhoods throughout Detroit, 25 ideas were named winners of Knight Arts Challenge Detroit recently.
A community-wide initiative of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the challenge funds the best ideas for engaging and enriching the city through the arts.
Reflecting the quality and range of creative ideas in the city, the winning projects will, for example, bring together curators from three top arts institutions for an ambitious public art and performance series, and create a virtual reality installation at a local grocery store. The winners, receiving a total of $1.46 million.
Two of the projects will be taking place in Dearborn.
The first, is a $100,000grant to the Arab American Nation Museum for a new Arab American Arts and Cultural Festival.
The festival will celebrate Arab-American culture with a summer festival in East Dearborn featuring artists, makers, musicians and traditional food.
The second project is through theUniversity of Michigan-Dearborn. It is a $195,000 goal to put on an art exhibit called "Halal Metropolis: Exploring Muslim Visibility in Detroit."
The goal there is to create a series of exhibitions by Osman Khan, Razi Jafri and Sally Howell that explore aspects of Muslim visibility in Metro Detroit, both reality-based as well as perceptions shaped by other factors, to support and deepen community connections.
Other projects will create a festival of new, 10-minute plays that speak to Detroit and its history.
Enliven public spaces – with a new sculptural and light installation in the Core City neighborhood, and a transformative public garden on Belle Isle by the landscape designer of New York City's High Line.
Explore the identities and experiences of Arab Americans in Detroit – through photography, sound installations and dance.
The Knight Foundation celebrated the winning ideas at an awards event at the Fillmore Detroit earlier this month.
They join more than 250 past winners recognized since the challenge launched in 2013.
"Artists and arts organizations have completely changed Detroit's landscape, and Knight Arts Challenge winners are leading the way," said Victoria Rogers, vice president for arts at Knight Foundation. "They are telling Detroit's stories, helping to frame the world around us and writing Detroit's next chapter."
Knight Foundation funds the arts because of their ability to inspire communities and connect people to each other and to their city. Knight Arts Challenge is just one way that Knight Foundation invests in the arts. Last month, Knight Foundation announced a new $20 million investment in Detroit's arts community, which will enable some of the city's anchor arts institutions to reimagine their relationships with the community through innovation and experimentation, and allow smaller organizations to build their own capacity. The new funding, bringing Knight's investment in the arts here to $52 million since 2012, will also support the continuation of Knight Arts Challenge Detroit.
"Great ideas for the arts can come from anywhere. We see it in the winners of Knight Arts Challenge, who are driven by skill and powered by a passion for their craft and our community," said Katy Locker, Detroit program director for Knight Foundation.

Case Study: University of South Florida (USF)
See how USF made printing more accessible and affordable for students
About University of South Florida
Located in Tampa, FL, the University of South Florida (USF) boasts an enrollment near 50,000. As part of the school's commitment to serving campus needs, students receive a daily print allowance.
"Students have faster, easier access to affordable printing services at more places across campus. We have structured, standardized print services that can be maintained economically."
Craig Woolley
Assistant Vice President: Information Technology
At the University of South Florida (USF) student-managed campus print center, every student received 40 free prints per day. This was a great way to save money, but it led to consistent overcrowding. Students would rather endure hour-plus waits than pay a small fee at a nearby location. In addition to the long lines, employees:
Manually searched each student's name in a database, which added more time to the process.
Offered free prints to friends because there was little accountability.
On top of that, three different IT divisions managed coin-operated print labs. Each had its own machines, toners and paper. Instead of working with the student-run print center, the two entities battled each other for the same customers.
Since Ricoh already provided printers and copiers to USF, the school asked us to figure out how to curb excess free printing while expanding free print services to other labs.
Based on our analysis, we standardized all print devices in two installations. The first added 17 Ricoh copiers, printers and MFPs to the fleet, and the second added another 15 devices.
We also configured the printers with a driver that worked with an updated version of the school's Pharos Systems software to monitor and assign chargebacks. The new system boasted several new features:
Users swiped their ID to access printer and copier capabilities.
Each student received $2.50 of free prints per day.
Students enjoyed increased information mobility, which allowed them to print to any device on the network.
The lack of long lines was the most visible result of our efforts.
Students still receive affordable printing, but services are now more evenly distributed across campus. By working with IT and the student government, our solutions also led to a printing usage increase of 2.5 million documents (for a total of up to 10 million per year), reduced price-per-page costs due to new technology and fixed toner costs, and fewer devices (which led to space savings in print centers). They also enabled restrictions on unauthorized prints and more protection for those outputting sensitive documents. Two nearby colleges using Pharos heard about USF's improvements and are looking at implementing a similar approach to handle their own pay-for-print campus networks.

Q: How to stream audio from VLC to AirPlay speakers? My configuration looks like this:

*

*MacBook with EL Capitan

*AirPort Express 802.11n (2nd Generation)

*speakers connected to AirPort's audio port using mini-jack

On my MacBook I switched audio output to AirPort Express and it's working quite well when playing music from iTunes, Spotify or YouTube in Safari. Sound quality is good, audio is in sync with video on the MacBook's screen.
The problem appears when I am trying to play some movies using VLC app. With this configuration, the sound that comes from my "wireless" speakers is choppy and its quality is very bad. Playing the same video file with Quick Time Player solves the problem - audio is perfect. Not all video files are affected by this issue. Some can be played with VLC without an issue.
When using MacBook's internal speakers all video files can be played without an issue using VLC. Choppy, poor quality audio only occurs when audio output is set to AirPort Express.
I assume that the problem could be connected to audio codec used to create video files I am trying to play. I could just play this files using Quick Time Player and both video (on MacBook's screen) and audio (from speakers connected to AirPort) would be perfect, but I like the VLC and how its support subtitles etc.
What should I do to fix audio issues when playing movies in VLC with AirPlay speakers?

I asked a chum who had written a book before – 'How do you decide where to start?' – as I was determined not to write the story from the beginning to the end – that would be very predictable and boring, I thought. After all, I was a filmmaker and filmmakers don't tell stories in chronological order. Also I'm dyslexic and I've never written anything before and I read very seldom as it's a very big chore for me. Anyhow, he told me to think of what was the most important thing that ever happened in my life. Was it the moment I was waving goodbye to my friends off the deck of a massive ocean liner the Oriana on my way to an uncertain world in Australia at the tender age of 17? Was it the moment the police came to my front door one Sunday evening to tell me that my son, Orlando, was dead? Was it the day I discovered that my father was a spy? Was it the day I directed my first movie? Or was it the day I died and miraculously returned to life again after 19 days in a coma? No…none of these. I think the most memorable event of my life was when I walked out of a pawn shop in Sydney in 1963, having hocked the old Leica camera my father gave me before I left England, and with the proceeds bought a saddle – which was now over my shoulder looking to hitch a ride out of town to the Outback, to find a horse, to become a cowboy and realise my childhood dream. What was I doing? Was I completely mad?


As soon as your toddler outgrows his cot, and makes the transition into a 'big bed', there may be some high jinks at bedtime. Most parents do want to foster night-time independence in their toddlers, and really do feel quite desperate at the thought of another night spent negotiating with a roaming toddler.
Some children simply find that this new found freedom is a wonderful excuse for prolonged bedtimes, plus frequent visits to mom and dad's bedroom throughout the night! If you have no issues with this, and love having your toddler sleep with you, read no further! Seriously though, before looking at bedtime and sleep itself you need to be sure your toddler is primed for good sleep habits. A clean bill of health is a good start, as is a sleep zone that supports sleep. Make sure his room is entirely safe so that he cannot harm himself. At this age, he already has deeply entrenched expectations and associations related to where and how he goes to sleep, and you can use them to your advantage Keep the light very dim and muted or use a night light, so that your toddler is never left alone in the dark. His imagination is developing at this age, which might make him fearful of dark shadows. By now you know the importance of a regular day sleep routine, but a regular bedtime routine is just as important. Bedtime is often the period of time when your little toddler is at his most unsettled. If there is no pattern to his bedtime rituals such as a quiet bath, followed by the last drink of the day (that's milk, not wine!) in a calm sleep zone, your little toddler will not begin to recognize the necessary sensory cues that prompt sleep.
Boundaries need to be clearly set, and negotiations can happen within these predetermined boundaries. Your toddler needs to understand clearly the sleep boundaries you have for him. All the role players in the care of your toddler need to agree on sleep boundaries.
Keep a night light on in his room or in the passage or bathroom, so that he is not in the dark should he wake.
Limit television completely for at least two to three hours before bed as this has been linked to fears and increased nightmares.
Encourage the use of a comfort object such as a blanket or a soft toy, and keep it in his bed so that bedtime holds that attraction of his special sensory comforter. It will also be available for comfort when he wakes in the night.
At bedtime, if your toddler begins to negotiate or protest or jumps out of bed within minutes of you leaving the room, he needs to be taught how to put himself to sleep. This is what you must also do when he comes through to you at night. At some stage (yes, it will happen to you) many toddlers wake up and wander through to their parent's bedroom. Begin by instilling a boundary and consistently lead your toddler back to his bed when this happens. The goal is to have your toddler sleep in his bed.
Walk him back to back to bed, without admonishing him or raising your voice. Stay calm, confident and focused and encourage his comfort object.
Give a consequence: Say to him "If you get up again, I will have to leave".
For as long as your toddler stays in bed and makes an effort to be quiet and go to sleep, sit with him until he falls asleep (no matter how long it takes, so be prepared for this). You must stick to your end of the deal if he sticks to his.
If he breaks his end of the deal, by getting up, you must remind him about the deal you made, offer him a chance to try again, but if he resists, then get up and leave the room and close the door so that he can't follow. It is important that he remains in his room so if he is able to open the door himself install a latch. Don't worry about leaving him behind a closed door. You are simply making sure that his room is containing him much the same as he was contained in his cot before. This is why it is important to have a night-light on and to make his room a safe environment for him.
From outside the room, tell him you will return when he gets back into bed.
As soon as you see/hear him get onto his bed, OR after one minute of crying (whatever happens first), go back in to his room quietly and calmly. Resist the temptation to raise your voice.
If he is crying, calm him down with a hug, encourage his comfort object, wait until he has stopped crying, then re-negotiate with him. (Remember to acknowledge and empathise with his request, then give him a reason, a boundary and a consequence).
Leave the room if he does not comply with the boundary you have offered him (which is to stay with him until he falls asleep provided he lies in his bed). Close the door.
Return immediately to him if he does get back into bed, and praise him for listening to you. Reward him by staying with him until he falls asleep. If he cries and bangs on the door, wait for two minutes before you return to re-negotiate with him. Remember to stay calm and focused, never raise your voice and offer him lots of calming stimuli such as a hug and his comfort object. He needs to be calm again before you can re-negotiate with him. Be prepared for this to take some time.
Keep going in this manner – return to him as soon as he is back in bed, OR if he will not stay in his bed and bangs on the door, increase the period of time before you respond to him by one minute each time until he eventually falls asleep.
Repeat the procedure each time he wakes during the first night. If he complies with your boundary (by staying in his bed) always reward him by staying with him as you have promised (no matter how tedious you may find this in the middle of the night) until he falls asleep. If he will not comply (by jumping out of bed and running away), leave the room, close the door and leave him for one minute until you return quietly and calmly to re-negotiate! If you do have to leave the room, increase the period of time by one minute each time, until he eventually falls asleep.
By the second or third night, your toddler has probably realised that if he does as you ask him (which is to stop the high jinks at sleep time), you will sit with him on the bed until he goes to sleep at bedtime, and if he wakes during the night. When this is consistently happening, it is time to move to the next step. Be patient, it may take time to get to this step.
Begin bedtime in exactly the same way, but tell him (by acknowledging empathizing and reasoning with a boundary and a consequence) that you will no longer be sitting on the bed with him, but will rather be sitting in a chair alongside the bed.
As before, complete your negotiation with him. If he complies with your boundary (which is to stay in his bed and go to sleep) you will stay in his room with him, but you will be in the chair. If he does not comply with your boundary, then follow the same procedure as before by going out of the room and closing the door. Continue with the programme as you did before, until he falls asleep.
When he is happy to stay in his bed and go to sleep as long as you are sitting in the chair (at bedtime and when he wakes in the night), move to the next step. Bear in mind it may take you a few nights to achieve this – be patient, loving and consistent.
Move the chair away from his bed to another part of the room as close to the door as possible. Repeat the sleep modification steps as above until he is happy to go to sleep in his bed with you sitting in the sleep zone apart from him.
The next step is to move the chair out of the room (tell him that you have given it to the poor children). At bedtime, simply 'linger' in the room, maybe even stepping into the bathroom for a second or two (always reassure him that you will be back) before returning to 'linger' once more. Repeat the sleep modification steps as above until he is happy to go to sleep in his bed as long as you are 'lingering' around.
The final step (this step may have taken you as little as a few days to reach, or it may be a week down the line by now), is to tell him you need to leave the room for a minute to perform a task. Reassure him that when you are finished your task you promise to return. Do as you have promised and return. Don't forget to praise him each time you return if he has stayed in his bed. Keep popping in and out, but gradually increase the amount of time you spend out of his room. Repeat the sleep modification steps as above until he is happy to fall asleep in his bed as long as you continue to pop in and out.
After a few nights of this you will return after your first absence to find him asleep.
At last! Your toddler has learnt the new technique of falling asleep independently.
Once your toddler is generally sleeping in his bed, you may still find he has the odd night when he is very distressed when he wakes. These are the times when he may be distraught due to a nightmare and imagination fears or separation anxiety. When this happens you may need to allow him to sleep next to your bed. By not allowing him into your bed and not making his makeshift bed too comfortable, you will not instil long lasting habits. Know that it will not last forever and is usually a passing stage. However, if it becomes a nightly occurrence and is a problem for you, start to make it less easy for him to do. Always take him back to his room first. If he insists on returning to your bedroom let him carry his own bedding and settle himself. Allowing your toddler to sleep on the floor next to you whilst you are undoing the unhealthy sleep habit of having him in your bed, may be a necessary process you will need to undertake whilst you foster confidence in him to become independent. However, if your toddler is persistently coming through to you a night, and insisting on getting into your bed, this again is a scenario that you could leave as it is if it is not an issue with you. When you are ready to reclaim your sleep space, allow him to sleep on a mattress or some continental pillows next to your bed to help him with the transition to his own room. Remember to always acknowledge his feeling: "I know you want to be in the bed with me." Then mirror the feeling by saying "I love having you in the bed," Then give a reason why he can't be in the bed with you "This is my bed, and there is too little space now that you are bigger" Offer an alternative: "Why don't you lie on the floor next to me and I'll hold your hand" You will need to follow through on this boundary and be firm about him not getting back into your bed. If he will not lie on the floor next to you, take him back to his bed. At this point, you may have to start adopting some sleep training strategies as mentioned above.
If your toddler voices a fear about 'the bogeyman', a very useful trick is to buy a plastic spray bottle from the supermarket. Fill it with coloured water, and label it 'bogeyman spray'. As part of his bedtime ritual, allow him to spray his bed and around his sleep zone with this solution. This empowering gesture will help him to feel in control of his fears. Reassure him that he can use it again should he wake in the night.

The year is over and for some clubs it's time to make sure that all the camping gear is put away for the summer. It will make the next year start off a lot easier if everything is organized and in good repair.
Use a whisk broom and/or rags to wipe off gear as you stow it. Make sure that your gear is clean before putting it away.
Double check that the coolers are clean and dry before storing them.
missing items that need to be replenished or items that you wish you had.
Storing gear high helps keep it away from rodents and insects; keeping it dry helps avoid mildew.
and some materials, even when dry, may crack in very cold temperatures.
Rodents are attracted to the smell of food and can quickly ruin your gear, chewing through it to look for food that is no longer there. To avoid these pests be sure to air out or wash all gear that smells of food.
To avoid any possibilities of corrosion, remove the batteries from any gadgets and store them separately.


The Middle Huron is generally defined as the section of the Huron River that moves through Washtenaw County. It begins with the Mill Creek basin in western Washtenaw County and extends downstream through Belleville Lake in western Wayne County. The Middle Huron is home to over half the population of the Huron River Watershed, has the largest areas of active agriculture in the Watershed, and contains the most urbanized areas of the Watershed. This concentration of people, agriculture and industry presents challenges to the quality of the waters in the Middle Huron. For additional information on the geography and water quality of the Middle Huron, visit our Infostream.
Several tributaries within the Middle Huron River Watershed have had watershed management and restoration plans developed by the Huron River Watershed Council. Click here to find management plans for Malletts Creek, Mill Creek, and Millers Creek. Additionally, a comprehensive plan was developed for the Middle Huron Watershed that includes the creekshed plans.
After a series of annual harmful algal blooms in Ford and Belleville Lakes in the 90s, the Middle Huron Partners (originally the Middle Huron Initiative) began in 1996 as a coordinated response to implement Michigan's first nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). In 1999, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, HRWC, and municipalities signed a cooperative agreement to reduce phosphorus loadings by 50% in order to meet the TMDLs for Ford and Belleville Lakes. Facilitated by HRWC, the Middle Huron Partners brings together municipalities, universities, and county agencies to collaboratively develop and implement strategies to reduce phosphorus loadings, share stormwater best management practices, and improve the quality of the Middle Huron River Watershed.
Provide a source of support to test innovative ideas to reduce phosphorus pollution.
Partners to the program (see list below) voluntarily provide financial support for HRWC to facilitate the Partnership. Implementation projects in the Middle Huron are funded by federal Clean Water Act grants, Clean Michigan Initiative grants, private foundations, individual donations, and business partnerships.
Since its formation, the Middle Huron has seen dramatic and substantial decreased in phosphorus levels throughout the watershed thanks to the leadership by the Partners. Participating organizations and communities have adopted numerous river-friendly ordinances and have raised the level of water quality protection in their standards and codes. In addition, the Middle Huron Partners initiated the ongoing statewide discussions on the development of state legislation to restrict the application of manufactured phosphorus fertilizers. In 2012, the legislation took effect at the state level. The Middle Huron Partners have also worked with local farmers to adopt conservation practices on more than 2,600 acres in the Middle Huron. Over $200,000 of USDA funds have been supplied to farmers for the installation of best management practices on their Mill Creek sub-watershed farms.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Officials say that separate attacks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and nearby towns have killed at least 12 people.
Police say the deadliest attack Thursday took place in the town of Tarmiya, 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Baghdad, where a booby-trapped house exploded as security forces entered during a search, killing five troops and wounding three others.
Police say that a bomb went off in a commercial area of Baghdad's southern Abu Disher neighborhood, killing three shoppers and wounding 10 others.
Two other bomb attacks struck a commercial area in the northern district of Saba al-Bor and the town of Mishahda, north of Baghdad, killing four people and wounding 16.
Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information.

Rationing begins as McDonald's Japan is struck by holiday french fry shortage
Alex Wilson
• Stars and Stripes • December 23, 2021
McDonald's Japan is limiting diners to small orders of fries through Dec. 31, 2021, because of a potato shortage. (Alex Wilson/Stars and Stripes)
Bad weather and global supply chain disruptions are leaving McDonald's restaurants in Japan a few fries short of a large combo, though restaurants on U.S. military bases are, so far, unaffected.
McDonald's Japan is limiting diners throughout the country to small orders of fries from Friday through Dec. 30, according to an announcement Tuesday from the company.
McDonald's managers at Yokosuka Naval Base and Naval Air Facility Atsugi told Stars and Stripes that the shortages haven't reached their restaurants yet.
However, Minako Takamune, general manager at the Yokosuka McDonald's, said by phone Thursday that french fries may soon be in short supply there, too.
"Hopefully, we're not going to be [limiting purchases], but it may happen in a few days," Takamune said. "If we have lots of customers, it might happen; but if there's not a lot of customers, we can continue to serve medium and large sizes."
Large-scale floods near the Canadian port of Vancouver — a transit point for shipping services — and disruptions in the supply chain caused by the coronavirus pandemic are behind the potato shortage, according to McDonald's Japan.
The company said it is limiting fry orders for the week so customers can still enjoy them despite the shortage.
A shift manager at the Atsugi McDonald's, Nana Oda, said the restaurant has no immediate plans to limit fry orders.
"We have a lot of french fries, so we don't have any limitations," she said by phone Thursday.
The McDonald's Japan french fry shortage is another in a long line of shortages and delays caused by global shipping disruptions that have affected areas such as agriculture, raw materials and manufacturing.
Those disruptions include soaring demands for goods, large surges in shipping costs, workforce shortages and an increase in waiting time to unload cargo at ports.


Tertullian of Carthage (ca. 155- after 220 CE), who introduced the term "Trinity" from the Latin "trinitas" (three or triad), taught the concept of one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are distinct, but not separate. Because these three persons are not separate or divided, God is one, not three. Tertullian's Trinity is, therefore, a form of monotheism not tritheism.
Another form of the Trinity, which Tertullian considered heresy, is known as "Sabellianism," after the 3rd century theologian Sabellius. "Modalism," as it is also known, states that God is one in three aspects or modes. In this version, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not distinct persons but different manifestations of the Godhead. Accordingly, it was God who suffered on the cross, hence this view is also called "patripassionism," which is derived from the Latin words for "father" and "suffer." Like Tertullian's version, this form of the Trinity equally claims to promote the oneness of God.
In the 4th century a major controversy broke out between Bishop Alexander of Alexandria, Egypt, and the Alexandrian priest and theologian Arius. The former believed that the Father and the Son were both eternal and of equal status. Arius believed the Son was not eternal and was inferior to the father. The Arians, while still advocating the divinity of the Son, insisted that there is substantial difference between the Father and the Son.
And in the Holy Spirit.
The deletions from the Nicean formulary and the additions, which I have highlighted in bold above, are instructive in understanding issues that were at the centre of the debates between Christian theologians.
Some doubts have been raised about whether this revision was made in the 381 council (Kelly, 1999: 305-331). It is first mentioned as an official formulary in the Chalcedon Council in 451 CE where the convening bishops clearly believed that the creed had been composed and ratified in Constantinople.
The Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, as it has become known, was accepted by both the Eastern and Western Churches. The history leading to the formulation of this authoritative formulary, however, was full of controversy, and the consensus that was finally achieved conceals many bitter battles and much struggle between prominent churchmen who held opposing views. For a detailed study of the history of the development of this creed, the reader may like to see Early Christian Creeds (Kelly, 1999).
Jesus was not the only holy figure that Christianity deified. His mother Mary was also later transformed into an object of worship in a doctrine known as Mariolatry or the "worship of Mary," even though there is nothing to support this exaltation of Mary's status in the New Testament. Among the titles Christians conferred on Mary are "Mother of God" and "Queen of Heaven." Mariolatry led to the introduction of dogmas such as the "immaculate conception," by Pope Pius IX in 1854, which states that Mary was free of the original sin from birth, like Jesus. Another dogma is the "assumption of Mary," by Pope Pius XII in 1950, which teaches that after her death, Mary's soul and body were taken to heaven.

Thank you to No Gray for partnering with Unlikely Martha. I have been compensated for this post. All opinions are mine.
As a busy mom on the go, I won't tell a fib and say I haven't rushed out of the house having missed putting on lotion and deodorant. Not too frequently but frequently enough I now keep a little stash in my glove box along with that trusty $5 bill they say you should keep.
Being on the move and put together involves a certain level of planning. With a busy lifestyle you never know what the day may bring and being ready for anything that may arise provides a sense of confidence. Carrying compact beauty products is not only good for when you forget something but also for freshening up your look over the course of a day, or for those days when work turns into happy hour and you want to look and feel your best without trekking home.
We all know how soon those pesky roots can pop up seemingly days after you've dropped a mini fortune on your new color. No Gray Quick Fix is a great option to extend your color and investment. The small size makes it easy to slide into your purse for quick touchups as you see them. With the color being temporary touch up all you want until you find a moment to get back to the salon.
The dewy look is in, but greasy is not. These oil blotting sheets will do away with your shine after a long day turns into night.
It's summer and the need for sun protection is critical. This tinted moisturizer is lighter than foundation, giving you a light coverage mixed in with sun protection.
Keep your hands and cuticles moisturized with EOS hand lotions.
These compact beauty products take up little space but provide a big boost in making you look great throughout the day. Get creative and find colorful and fun bags to house your items in. Whether you keep them in your car or purse don't get caught without them!
What are some of your favorite compact beauty items?
Great must haves! I've been meaning to pick up that matte lippie. Hopefully I won't need that gray fix for a while (crosses fingers).
I love the EOS lip balm! I also love the tinted moisturizer by Nars! I'm looking forward to trying the oil blotting sheets! Thanks for the tips!

Analyzing The Strategic Use Of Russian Bots
Russian bots apparently have opinions on the Parkland school shooting. By bots, we mean automated social media accounts linked to Russia, which federal investigators say were used to play up American divisions and promote President Trump's election in 2016. Now it seems that some bots weighed in on the divisive subject of mass shootings and gun control in the last few days. Bret Schafer is here in our studio. He tracks Russian disinformation at the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which was set up after the 2016 election.
Welcome to the program, sir.
BRET SCHAFER: Thank you. Good to be here.
INSKEEP: What are the Russians saying so far as you can tell?
SCHAFER: So we saw the same kind of activity after the Vegas shooting, actually. So it started with just conversations that Americans were having. So it was breaking news. That quickly shifted to the gun control debate that took sort of extreme positions on both sides. And by Day 3, they were moving into conspiracy theories.
INSKEEP: What do you mean by extreme positions and conspiracy theories?
SCHAFER: So extreme positions - they are choosing - well - both the left and right side of the gun control debate but really finding whatever exists in the American media that is far from the center. So these are not sort of rational opinions here. They're looking for the extreme points of view and pushing those.
INSKEEP: So if somebody says, hypothetically, the government staged this whole nightmare to take away our guns - which is a thing that has been said about mass shootings in the past...
SCHAFER: Right.
INSKEEP: ...These Russian accounts will go after that and promote that idea.
SCHAFER: We saw that. And we also saw that after Vegas. So one of our top hashtags that we saw trending online was actually #FalseFlag. And we see a lot of links to sites that promote these conspiracy theories. And again, it's the same thing we saw after Vegas and the Texas shooting last year.
INSKEEP: False flag operation, the phrase for this kind of conspiracy - this idea of a conspiracy.
What do the Russians want?
SCHAFER: Well, I think they want us fighting amongst each other. Senator Lankford - and I'm kind of paraphrasing here - said they're the kids on the schoolyard yelling fight, fight, fight, fight. So we're kind of practicing information warfare on ourselves right now unfortunately. And the Russians are just amplifying those voices on the extreme and stirring up trouble.
INSKEEP: Can I ask about a bit of a contrary opinion that's been put out in the last day or so by Masha Gessen? She is a writer for The New Yorker.
INSKEEP: She is no fan of Vladimir Putin for certain. But she's skeptical that this Russian interference is as large as it seems to be or as we've played it up to be. She writes, the Kremlin and its media are tickled to be taken so seriously. Their sub-grammatical imitations of American political rhetoric - and a lot of it is kind of not very grammatical - their overtures to the most marginal of political players are suddenly at the very heart of American political life.
Are we overdoing our concerns about this?
SCHAFER: I think yes and no. There is a concern that we take this too seriously and maybe overcorrect in terms of heavy-handed regulation. And that's actually what the Russians did after the Snowden affair. They used that to push very sort of extreme restrictions on Internet freedom. So we clearly don't want to see that happen...
INSKEEP: The Stoneman affair, you said - what is that?
SCHAFER: The Snowden affair.
INSKEEP: The Snowden affair - I'm sorry. I didn't quite follow that. Oh, Edward Snowden - OK. Go on.
SCHAFER: Correct, correct. So there is that fear that we could maybe blow this out of proportion. At the same time, by pushing the voices on the extreme and making these fringe voices seem like one voice is 30,000 because they're amplified by bots, it's drowning out the sort of rational debate that should be happening at the center.
INSKEEP: In about 10 seconds, does it effectively counter Russia just for the public to know what is happening?
SCHAFER: That's tough to do in 10 seconds. No. But I think it's the first step, maybe, to finding out a way to solve this.
INSKEEP: OK. Mr. Schafer, thank you very much.
SCHAFER: Thank you.
INSKEEP: Bret Schafer tracks Russian influence on Twitter for the Hamilton 68 project and the Alliance for Securing Democracy. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Action RPG UnDungeon Launches on Kickstarter; Looking to Release on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Vita
Today, German-based developer Laughing Machines and publisher Square Enix Collective announced that roguelike, action RPG UnDungeon has launched on Kickstarter, seeking $52, 751 USD.
Laughing Machines writes:
We love fast-paced gameplay. We're mad about old school games that are a challenge to play. We're passionate about pixel art. We really love Roguelikes and classic RPGs. And we sincerely believe that every good game should be a piece of art, not just business. As a result, we're creating UnDungeon to reflect all of our principles.
Every gamer probably has their own perspective on what the ideal game is, but as developers we're in the special position of being able to bring our ideals to life. So, UnDungeon introduces a mix of Action, Roguelike, and old-school RPG styles and wraps them in a gorgeous pixel skin. And now, we'd like to share it with you!
UnDungeon is currently slated to release on PC, Mac, and Linux. However, the developer has said it would like to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PS Vita as well, but these console and handheld ports will only be possible after achieving the corresponding stretch goals. Said stretch goals haven't been divulged, but Laughing Machines said they will be during a time in the campaign that is "appropriate."
So what is UnDungeon? Good question, here's a rundown:
Since our childhood, we've always been told that the universe is endless; that there are billions of worlds and that it's impossible to reach any of them. They've been telling us we are billions of light years away. But what if they haven't told us the whole truth?
What if we live in a multiverse of parallel worlds which are separated by nothing but a thin membrane. And what if this membrane is not impenetrable?
The moment in history, known as The Shift, not only made the Earth absolutely insecure, but destroyed it as a shelter for mankind. The reasons for the cataclysm are still far beyond human understanding, but its consequences have essentially changed scientific dogma related to the structure of the Universe and the position of the human race within it.
A small failure in the Multiversal mechanism combined seven parallel words together. Inhabitants of these very different civilizations suddenly became neighbors… against their will.
The game's world is based on the Multiversal principles, meaning that all dimensions which exist in the Multiverse are parallel. Therefore, multiple variations of the same place — like Earth — are possible.
According to Laughing Machine, the affected worlds are not alien to one another, but rather are just different variations of the same planet; variations where something went amiss in the past, and caused unusual scenarios to develop.
Laughing Machines continues:
What if one variation of our Earth was inhabited by aliens long before the appearance of homosapiens? What if, in another dimension, the evolution went a completely different way? And somewhere else again, common physical laws don't work as you'd expect?
No matter how dissimilar they are, The Shift brought them all together into a single melting pot.
Right after The Shift took place, seven "Heralds" appeared in different parts of the world, with each one being a keeper of the artifact called "The Core."
According to the developer, The Core allows for the carrier not to die, but rather for said carrier to be reborn again and again. However, each time he is reborn the surrounding world is changed. As for the artifact itself, it is said to be a clue to the nature of the shift, and each Herald that carries it is said to feel a craving "for certain location of the newly-created world, where the power of the Core can be revealed."
But okay, what about the gameplay? Well, here's an overview from the Kickstarter page:
The Herald moves across a procedurally-generated map which is divided into regions relating to the different worlds. He or she visits various locations communicating, fighting, and trading with other inhabitants.
The Herald desperately explores the environment trying to obey the call of the Core. Mistakes are not allowed because the score is ruled by permadeath.
Although the Core will resurrect the Herald, the old world will be lost forever, and you will have to start the exploration of a completely new planet – the equivalent of a new game beginning.
All combat takes place in real time. A character uses artifacts and amplifiers that can be combined, enabling the Herald to adapt to all possible threats.
Traditionally for top-down games, UnDungeon provides fast-paced combat with dodging, reflectors, frequent change of positions, etc. We rely on realistic physics to create more spectacular projectile trajectories, debris scattering, bouncing, grenade throwing, etc.
Each action performed in a battle, except movements, consumes a certain amount of energy points (EP).
The energy is an alternative to the traditional weapon-recharge mechanic, which makes combat more comprehensive and helps avoid mindless ability-spamming.
RPG Elements:
Exploring the world, the characters will find various supernatural objects and artifacts. There are two types of objects: passive and active. The passive ones alter various characteristics, add small additional properties, and can be stored and used in an unlimited quantity. As for active objects, they provide new features or essentially change the existing ones.
Since such objects are placed in special slots, it is possible to mix all the available character's abilities, forming a huge variety of combinations.
Each Herald has a unique pool of objects which is not available to the other characters. Consequently, each one has an exclusive playstyle and development path. What's more, each artifact provides an impact on characters' appearance.
And since the order and number of objects are totally random, each new trial is characterized by a unique character's look. Plus, each equipped artifact provides the influence on the character's appearance (sometimes these changes are vital). See the examples below:
Currently, UnDungeon is in its pre-alpha stage of development, and is slated to release sometime in 2018. For more information about the game, be sure to check out the Kickstarter link above. You can also check out the game's new trailer below:

"I have a weird process, but the main thing is like this: I hear her voice in my head. There are a lot of wonderful scripts my agents can't believe I pass on, but I do because I can't hear the voice. It doesn't appeal to me then. I'm really careful. Unless I hear the voice, I can't do it."


With this dinosaur, you can truly build a future!
When the first dinosaurs were discovered, people must have been more than just a bit confused. After all, giant beasts with huge teeth, enormous bones and mysterious armour plates were just a thing from myths and legends. And every now and then, dinosaur remains are found that turn our understanding of prehistoric times upside down.
The newest discovery is pictured on the Legosaurus T-Shirt: The gentle herbivore, who is named after his discoverer Earl Legolas of Legollington, is covered in colourful armour plates and protrusions that just happen to look like building blocks from Denmark. Our first test results indicate that the Legosaurus predominantly lived in building block crates and used his colourful appearance to hide from predators. Isn't nature beautiful?

Common Law Cabin è un film del 1967, diretto da Russ Meyer.

Sui manifesti del film erano evidenziate le misure delle tre attrici, secondo il regista tutte uguali: 110-60-90. Le attrici furono soprannominate le "Big Six", con evidente riferimento ai loro prosperosi seni.

Trama
Dewey Hoople è il proprietario del Hoople's Heaven, un locale situato in un'isolata località turistica, in Colorado. Dewey è vedovo, ed è molto geloso nei confronti di Coral, la sua procace figlia, che vive con la sua nuova compagna, Babette.

Nel locale arrivano una coppia, il dottor Ross, e la moglie Sheila, e un uomo, Barney. Quest'ultimo seduce e uccide Sheila, violenta Babette in riva al fiume e tenta di aggredire anche Coral.

Barney, scoperto da Dawey, confessa di essere un poliziotto corrotto. Riesce a fuggire, ma viene buttato fuori dal motoscafo, che rimasto senza pilota lo investe.

There will be seasons of your life illuminated by searing contrast.
Deep sweetness and holy grace.
Deep loss and holy cleansing.
If you have walked the transformative pain of saying goodbye to someone -or multiple someones- important to you, I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Grief is an intense experience of human life and our society is grief-phobic.
Most people haven't learnt how to make peace with their own grief so it makes it challenging to be sensitive, present or allowing with another's grief.
Be positive. Focus on the times you had together. Focus on what went right. Don't dwell on what you've lost but what you have.
All valuable wisdom- at the right time.
Though in these messages is the subtle judgement that grief is negative.
Something to be avoided or at least 'gotten through' quickly, neatly and with less disruption to the status quo as possible.
To those that are lion- hearted through times of feeling broken-hearted, to those that surrender to the healing alchemy of grief that changes them, I honour you.
Being present with grief leads us back to clarity and wholeness. It illuminates that which is most important to us. It shakes loose our illusions of how we wanted things to be and allows us to come into alignment with how things are.
Grief, when we allow it, shatters our heart and our mind open wide to new form.
The pain of loss is not a pathology, despite what the current western medical model would suggest.
Except of course, when it is.
If you have grieved, or are still grieving now, you might have sensed a symbolic life or death soul alchemy taking place within you.
Grieving is an invitation to listen so minutely, so precisely to your inner voice that will lead you to healing.
The intersection of clarity about how things are and what is most important to us, is the clean slate for an empowered WHAT NOW and WHAT NEXT.
This isn't a process to be rushed but to be allowed.
Time + Presence + Intention = Powerful Medicine.
This point on the wheel of the year- New Year- is a natural time of reflection of what has been.
If these words have some resonance with your experience of the past 12 months and you did not achieve some of the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year, please remember that you did not 'fail', that you are still here in the room.
You are wiser from your descent.
Your rise will be richer.
Or if you are still tender, trust the wisdom and gratitude will come.
You have permission to feel it all.
May your next steps be bathed in an abundance of light.
